‘Women cagers host Nazareth in ECAC opener

By Mark Wilgard

STAFF WRITER,

History will be made (onight
when the Albany State women’s
basketball team tips off against
Nazareth College at University
Gym,

For the first time in the six year
existence of the team, Albany will
be competing in a post-season tour-
nament, The Danes are the hosts of
the tournament and will play
Nazareth at 8 p.m,, while Onconta
and Alfred square off at 6 p.m. in
the first. round of the ECAC
tourney. The championship game is
slated for 2 p.m, tomorrow.

‘After last Tuesday's 72-58 defeat
to Onconta in the SUNYAC
playoffs, it looked as though the
season had come to an end for the
Danes, It wasn't until, Monday
afternoon that Albany Head Coach
Mari Warner received word that her
team would be hosting the jure
ment, ‘We're psyched to play,
id Warner. “Hopefully, we'll go
right alter them (Nazareth).’

The Danes will have their hands
full with Nazareth, The Golden
Flyers have beaten the University of
Rochester, a team that will be com
peting in the NCAA playoffs.
Nazareth has a big height advantage
over Albany, but the Danes’ main
asset might offset that advantage
speed. Albany will try 10 utilize that
quickness by attempting to run
Nazareth all over the court

According 10 Warner, Albany
will utilize a full court press for
much of the game, ‘We need to get
the steals in order to play our runn-

this year

Kim Koselak looks to dish off the bail in a game earlier

ing ype of game," she said. The
Danes will have to watch out for
Denise Hickey, a strong wing player
who Is one of the top scorers on the
Golden Flyers

Rainny Lesane and Ronnie Pat-
terson are the big weapons for the
women cagers, Lesane leads the
team with 14,4 points per game (47
percent from the floor), Patterson
Is second with a 12.1 average.
Albany must get point production
from. their wing players, a
troublesome spot of the team for
much of the year,

“We just, have to hope for good
all-around scoring,"* commented
Warner, ‘We'll also need scoring
from our wing players and we have
to hit a couple of free throws.”

The foul line has been a problem
for Albany during the season, Pat-
terson is shooting 64 percent from
the line to lead the team. If the
Danes have any hope of winning
this game, they must convert from
the charity line,

‘Albany has had a long layoff
‘coming into tonight's game, Never-
theless, you can expect the Danes to
be ready for Nazareth. “When {
saw the looks on the girls’ faces, 1
knew they would be ready for the
tournament," said Warner,

If the Danes can get by the
Golden Flyers, a possible match-up
with Oneonta looms for. the cham-
pionship game, In two previous
meetings this year, it was the Red
Dragons coming out on top.
Onconta topped Albany just last
week to knock them out of the

SUNYAC playoffs. Pethaps the
third time will prove to be the
charm for the Great Danes.

Supreme Court Ruling on
college aid delivers
blow to women’s rights

By Lisa Strain
Coram rise ato
Ina blow 10 women’s rights groups, the
Tuesday: that the federal government may: not cul off all aid to a col-
fege because of illegal sex discrimination in a specific program
The 63 vote was a victory: for the Reagan administration but was
viewed by many’ women's rights groups as a major seiback,
i tremendous setback," said Executive Director of the Project
on the Status and Education of Women Bernice Sandler. “Women
will have no protection,..women will be going against discrimination
for almost all of their (college) experiences,"* Sandler added
Sandler dectared that the ruling is a reversal of more than a decade
of federal commitment, Ht covers all schools that get (federal) student
finane aid," she said. She added that the law bars discrimination
only in those programs involving federal scholoarship aid
She noted that, “only about 4 percent of federal funds are earmark-
ced for special programs, ‘The rest are in the form of research grants
and other programs,"* Sander explained that the result of all this is
that, “institutions can discriminate in other programs,"*
“What we are seen lic dismaniting of programs of the
J cconomie justice," said spokesman for
the Center for Women in Government Fred Padula. “Anytime
something happens that tends to stop the proper intent of a policy or
program it means a lot of lost time to reverse it.” he explained

“H's a very substantial step backwards for equity for men and
women on college campuses,” said SUNYA Director of Affirmative
Action Gloria DeSole. She said that if there were an equal rights
amendment it would give protection in any institution for both men
and women, “It is a beautiful illustration of how that amendment
(ERA) wauld benefit women and men," she said.
DeSole also said that, **I do not think it (the ruling) would have a
profound impact at SUNYA. There are very good people at this in-

Democrats concentrating on ‘Super Tuesday’

Portland, Maine
(AP) Gary Hart is on a political roll, adding
an upset victory in the Maine caucuses 10 one
in the New Hampshire primary, but Walter
F, Mondale and his managers insist they can
upend the upstart in the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination.

Hart claimed ‘‘another political miracle”
Sunday night, as complete returns from
Maine's 414 caucuses showed him with
almost $1 percent to Mondale's 44 percent.

Sen. John Glenn, former Sen. George
McGovern and the Rey. Jesse Jackson had
scattered support, but they had left the state «
and the spotlight - to Mondale and Hart.

Hart, the Colorado senator, declared he
may “have brought a political juggernaut to
iis knees” in the race for the Democratic
presidential nomination, “I love New
England," Hart {old a Massachusetts
Democratic Party dinner as the voles were
being counted in neighboring Maine,

He quickly rearranged his schedule in
hopes he could make his political momem-
(um migrate from New England to the South,
where a big round of primaries is upcomit

‘After his loss in Maine's caucuses the dif-
ficult question now for Mondale is whether
he has enough time to get his once-vaunted
campaign machine back on track before Hart
builds a string of primary and caucus vic~

tories that would make him the ‘tinevitable
nominee." With Super Tuesday and its 11
cauctises and primaries only eight days away
Mondale must move quickly to get back into
the winner's column, His chosen weapon is
going to be direct attacks on Hart and Hart's
record, a strategy he unveiled on Thursdi
“We are still fighting back, We have got a
long way (0 go,"’ Mondale said after his
defeat.

Mondale now trails Hart among voters in
Massachusetts, where another key presiden-
tial primary is a week away, a Boston Globe
poll said.

The poll published in Monday editions
showed Hart with 41 percent to 29 percent
for Mondale among 611 voters who said they
were cither registered Democrats or in-
dependents and more likely 10 vote in the
March 13 Democratic primary here than in
the state's Republican primary.

Glenn was third with 12 percent, followed
by McGovern and Jackson with 4 percent
each,

McGovern has said he will drop out of the
race if he doesn't finish in the top two in
Massachuselts.

The Massachusetts Presidential primary is
March 13,

Mondale and his men went to bed without
conceding defeat in Maine, a state where he

‘ut-spent and out-organized Hat! and clgim-
ed support from most of the major figures in
the Democratic Party establishment,

The former vice president said the results
actually demohstrated he had stopped the
momentum Hari gained with his New Hamp-
shire win last Tuesday, and said he would
recapture the lead in the South on March 13,
| Even so, Mondale's aides said they expect
Hart to win the next two contests, a non-
binding primary Tuesday in Vermont and
caucuses in Wyoming on Saturday with only
12 delegates at stake.

They said they will concentrate their ef-
forts on ‘Super Tuesday" and insist they can

Debate shows pros, cons of drinking age plans

‘Drunk drivers* v

By Caryn Miske

STAPF WRITER
Facts, statistics and opinions were

bantered back and forth Thursday night at a

debate discussing the virtues and draw!

of raising the drinking age to 21

Proponents for raising the drinking age
were: the director of RID (Remove Intox
icated Drivers) from Albany, Doris Ackin;
Ithaca College professor Loius Munch; and
Betty Martin, whose daughter was killed in
an alcohol related crash.

Those arguing for reiaining the drinking
age at 19 included: Student Association for
State Universities (SASU) member Hope
Gaisler; the Long Branch owner Robert
Boor; and Tavern Association member Ron
Wotherspoon.

Martin opened the debate, giving a brief
historical perspective on the drinking age.
She pointed out that the drinking age was 21
until 1971 when the 26th amendment was
passed extending the voting age to 18, Soon
after, many states lowered their drinking age

“Out of the 29 states that lowered their
drinking age, 19 of the states have increased
the age because of the significant inerease in
car crashes. among. the. young," she stated.

Martin pointed out that the, ones who suffer.

the most are the victims of drunk drivers.
“The decision to drink precludes the decision
to drive, There is no appeal for those who
die. This is a denial of a fundamental civil
liberty,"" declared Martin,

Boor presented a counter-argument say-
ing, “the emotional tactics of Martin
shouldn't be used to rule logic."* He said that
neo-prohibition, a social and political
thought aimed at alcoholic consumption con-
trol for society as a whole, denies individuals
their rights,

In the 1970's there was a teen popi
explosion due to the baby boom of the 0's,
he explained, "Crashes increased not because
of alcohol, but because of the inerease in teen
population,"* said Boor, Although Michigan
reported a decrease in crashes, Minnesota
and Massachusetts experienced an inerease in

he noted, “Each state is unique, It is

According to the 1984 Gallup poll, 77 per

Contending that three out of every ten

Task force strives to recruit minority students

By Dave Catalafamo

‘A group of siudents have formed a Minority Recruitment
Task Force which hopes to aid disadvantaged. students
enrolled at SUNYA

Blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians are not well
represented on campus, according to the Minority. Recruit-
ment Program Coordinator Lois Tripp, who also heads the
Equal Opportunity Program at SUNYA.

Last year, the university initiated the Minority. Recrui
ment Program 10 combat the problem of minority under-
representation, said Tripp.

According (0 Director of Admissions Rodney Hart, the
Minority Recruitment Program, ‘does not touch upon all
ethnic groups."* The program is targeted at Blacks, Hispanics
and American Indians of good academie standing that might
otherwise be excluded from the university, Hart cited a
reason for developing the program as being an attempt to
diversify the university population,

Currently, interested university siudents are being organiz-
ed into a Minority Recruitment Task Force to aid the Office
of Admissions in the Minority Recruitment Program.

Before the last academic year, there were only thres
sion programs available to applicants, which were tradi
tional, talented admissions and EOP.

To be accepted under the admissions program a minimum

1¢ of 80 oF class rank in the top half of the
class was required, along with college board scores that range
between 900 and 1400, said Hart

“The class is filled by starting with the most qualified ap-
plicants and working dower until the class is full,” said Hart

Acceptance (0 the university under the talented admission
program requires an 80 percent average or a rank in the top
half of the high school class, along with board scores that are
better than a total 900, with no less than 400 on cither the
verbal or math, said Hart

The program is aimed toward students who have special
talents, said Hart, such as, the music student who expends a
great deal of energy practicing, which is not necessarily
reflected in the academic record,

EOP is a statewide program designed specifically for those
students who would not ordinarily be admitted to the univer
sity, according to Hart, Two criteria, academic and financial,
must be met in order to be accepted to the university under
EOP. Academically the program is geared toward the edu
tionally and culturally disadvantaged student, who is in need

Now York State legislature passed legal guidelines to be cli
ble'for EOP. Hart pointed out that “EOP is not done al the
expense of the students, Money and space for the program
are always an add-on (o the existing traditional program."”

According to Tripp, the university, after identifying the
needs of the application pool, adopted the Minority Reeruit-
ment Program, Tripp stressed that the program is not an

Right now, Varquer said, “we are running seared,"
Hopefully, if more minorities are recruited there will be "a

According o Vazquez, right now the level of minorites in
the Treshman and sophomore class is adequate, however
“there are hardly any junior and senior minorities.
Through the Minority Recruitment Program, Vazquez hopes
that levels of applying minorities will increase, Currently the
minority student population of SUNYA is 7.8 percent, ay

which is at least 23 percent

Lin notes changes in China

By Sheilah Sable

STAFF WRITER
Chinese women in the 18th and
19th centuries had very low status
and no first names, but that’s
changing now, according to Alice
Lin, who described her observa-
tions and perceptions of China Sun-
day during an international tea,

Lin explained the direction
women’s roles have taken in China
by citing examples of their lifestyles
in the past two hundred years, “A.
woman had no first name," Lin re-
counted. ‘She was known to her
friends and relations as Mrs. so and
so. Her first name was not recogniz-
ed or used.,.she had no’status...she
was not educated at all in an institu-
tion," said Lin,

The Chinese women of the early
centuries were easily divorced by
their husbands for any reason, said

‘The primary reason was if the
woman bore no sons,” explained
Lin, “but no reason had 10 exist,
The marriage could be te ied if
the husband decided 10 terminate
it,” Women could not divorce at all
without mutual consent from their
husbands, asserted Lin, and
husbands could also have) many
concubines “under the faw,"*

The subservience

ing when they were infants, Lin
maintained, **The C woman

‘A woman in China whose hus-

band died was expected 10 never

marry » “sometimes if she

committed suicide the

would be applauded by her contem-

poraries,"* noted Lin,

In 1911, the New Republic went
into action and it changed the role
of women in a gradual way, said
Lin. “The change wasn't drastic
because of China's size, The new
laws took a long time to reach all of
China," she explained,

The practice of having con-
cubines was outlawed under the
New Republic, said the speaker.

The 1931 Civil Codes gave
women rights and protection equal
to those of Chinese men, said Lin,

Lin explained that in 1949 the
Communist Party in China was

women, “They wanted to arrange a
classless society so it was the women
that were appealed to because they
were oppressed... They (the women)
assumed important roles in the
development of Communist
China... They worked side by side
with men and became group leaders
and politically and socially active,"*
observed Lin

“The (recent) role models of
women in China were educated in
Western countries and

Lin visited China in 1979 and
1982.

Lin made three major observa-
tions about 1982 China, “There

Solomon Amendment challenged

By Jon Willmott

SPIE WRITER

A group of Minnesota college students filed a
lawsuit with the United States Supreme Court last
week, challenging the constitutionality of the Solomon
‘Amendment.

The 1982 law, sponsored by Represenialive Gerard
Solomon (R-Glens Falls) restricts students who fail to
register for the draft from receiving federal aid for
education,

According 10 John Kostos, a spokesperson for
Solomon, the law is supported by an overwhelming
majority of American people and Congressmen
although it is opposed by some college students and of-
ficial.

Student Association of the State University(SASU)
President Jim Tierney called the law economically,

jally andsexually discriminatory. Since females are

Martin Edelman, Chairman of the SUNYA Political

Science department, said that while he didn't think the +

law was constitutional, the Supreme Court will pro-
bably decide in favor of the law because the majority
of the current court is not inclined to decide against

Congress concerning the Selective Service decisions.
Kostos said that Solomon is confident that the
Supreme Court will uphold the constitutionality of the
law. Kostos’ claimed conscientous objection is not a
legitamate reason not (o register, saying that the only
way {0 achieve conscientious objector status is by

UAS plans to sell Glen House, Mohawk Campus

hopefully Dippikill will have elec-
tricity in two years,

UAS board member and SA
Controller Adam Barsky said that
as part of the original proposal
UAS was to have given (o Dippikill
the $13,000 a year it currently
budgets for Glen House, but that
the UAS Long-Range Planning
Committee had found that they
could noi decide that issue and so
had proposed only the sale of Glen
House,

Barsky said that SA and UAS
had been fulfilling the same func
tion at Dippikill. ‘tin this instanc:
we were competing against cach
other," he said.

Dippikill ‘will never get the elec:
tricity without the $13,000 a year
he maintained, He said he expects
the issue will come up at the budget
meeting in late March or carly
April

Last year UAS offered Glen
House t0 SA provided SA would
take over the operating costs of the
property

Former SA President Mike Corso
said that the UAS offer was refused
because the costs would have been
about $10,000 a year, which was
too much for SA to handle at the
time.

Corso said he would like to see it
remain owned by UAS, “I'd love to
see it somehow stay a part of the
University community

He also expressed fears that an
outside might not be
beneficial 10 the adjacent Dippikill
Camp.

This concern was discussed at the
board meeting, where it was decid-
ed that since’ the nearest major
roads were over three miles away
the Glen House property was not
needed as a buffer for Dippikill.

Zahm said UAS is asking $50,000
for the property, and will try to sell

thought,"” Zahm said

Zahm said that money raised
would be placed in a separate ac-
count from the general operating
funds and used for long range
capital projects.

Long Range Planning Committee
chair Neil Brown said that presently
‘no new programs are planned, “No
specific projects have been
authorized by the board," he
stated.

Brown said one possibility the
commitice has been discussing is a
building on campus that might i
clude additional student recrea-
tional areas and an expanded
bookstore. A health club with
Weight rooms and a sauna, and an
additional snack bar were also

possibilities, he said.

Brown said thal no specific pro-
posals were being formulated by the
committee, “We have not honed in
‘on any directions we'd like to go."”

‘One thing Brown said must be
taken into account is the location of
the possible building. He noted that
SUNY-Buffalo's new bookstore
was located off the main campus
‘and was not even adjacent (o a bus
stop.

Zahm said that one thing to be
taken into consideration is whether
or not UAS will be allowed to build
on state property.

Kosher kitchen discussed
The board also discussed the
amount of funds UAS should
allocate to subsidize the kosher kit-

chen on Dutch Quad, Zahm said
that this year UAS would give the
kitchen $33-34,000,

The board approved a resolution
to reduce the subsidy 10 $25,000 for
1985-86 and 86-87 school years,
Sarracco said.

Barsky said the vote, 7-6 with (wo.
abstentions, may not be valid
because a wo-thirds vote may be
necessary for approval,

He also said he voted against the
proposal because no limit on the
price of a kosher plan was specified.
“1 felt there was nothing in there to
protect the Individual student,"

‘ahm said he thought that the
decision (0 support a subsidy was a
policy that had to be agreed on by
the board, but that he thought there
was a need for a kosher kitchen on

campus, which this year is serving
221 students, down from 264
students last yea

“with that size enrollment it can
never generate enough income to be
self-sufficient,’ unless rates were to
be greaily increased, he said,

“There are @ few students who
must have it,"* Sarracco said, and
she added that since all students liv.
ing on campus must buy a meal
plan, she believes UAS must run a
kosher kitchen for those who must
ent kosher foods,

Brown agreed, saying, "1 see it as
very desireable and necessary," The
service should be provided becuase
otherwise sttidents would have 10
live off-campus and also because
SUNYA is a public school and must
be accessible to all, he stated, 1

The Situation: It was already getting late
and I had to study, But John wanted his
review copy of The Art of Fiction back the next
day and something i the few scraps I'd read

for It.” It was no problem getting John to give
me the assignment. but now I have to write the
review! All | wanted was a free copy of the
book:

Hf you only faintly recall the name, let me
say that John Gartiner's credentials for writing
a “how to” book on fiction are sterling, After
writing, and feaching writing, for many
moons, Gardner settled down to teach at
SUNY Binghamton; where he wrote until he
died jn 1982. As the author of poetry,
children’s. stories. non-fiction and *fiction
Gardner's experience was extensive to say the
least. Conspicuous among these efforts was

Gardner, The opportunity soon passed away

as the SUNY system lost its most acclaimed
English professor the next year, Fortunately

Gardner had all those students he would
‘never meet in mind when he set out to stuff his
years of accumulated knowledge into a writing

manual, The work was completed shorily
before his death and appeared in late January
this year ina handsome hardcover edition.

Gardner's final effort stands as an exclama-
tion point capping his career, The Art of Fic-
tion has a poetic quality that rises from its
lucid, patient prose. Gardner's examples are
concise and right on target: his teaching ex:
perlenice allows him {0 anticipate and de-fuse
every common misconception and objection.
This book has the effect of a one-on-one
trouble-shooting session with the voice of the

fatal brush with Insight to write like never
before, For me, personally. The Art of Fiction
was a damn near cathartic experience.

The Art of Fiction is divided into two sec-
tions: Notes on Literary-Aesthetic Theory and
Notes of the Fictional Process. In his preface
Gardner states that in the first section, he
sought to give the reader an understanding of
his general theory of fiction. “what fiction
‘goes for,’ how it works as a mode of thought,
in short what the art of fiction is." which “is the
first step toward writing well." Gardner
distinguishes between conventional fiction and
other veins such as “metafiction, aeconstrue-
tion, and jazzing around." Though he declines

to agrue one against the other, his feeling that
beginners should master the conventional
before moving on to “fiction that, both in style
and theme Investigates fiction" is clear, His
point is well taken: “Sieze the trunk of any

Looking Back On The Future That Was

consumed as fast as they were created,

but this was not so the seventies and
eighties. Robert Hughes explores modern art
and its future in the final film of his series,
“Shock of the New,” This segment is entitled
“The Future That Was.”

T he sixties had movements in art that were

Rina Young

The idea of the avant-garde movement
passed with the late seventies. The aims of the
movement were to relate art to life, through
social change and by creating a model of dis-
sent. Hughes states that we are now in the
post-modernism period in art and that moder-
nism Is already a part of our history

The present social reality of art Is that it
treats the present as a stage that has evolved
from the past. The myth of the avant-garde Is
that the artists can prepare for the future
Therefore the artist “is gripped in a parenthesis.
between the past and the future.”

In the 19th century, art was the main
generator of public symbols. It embodied the
values of the day and became a social cons
clence. What art said mattered, and it showed
that it mattered. Today, we have no credible
art because the media has taken that away
With the advent of the museum, art has been
removed from the normal experience. The
museum's goal has been to collect as much art
as possible from all sides, and in so doing, has
changed its function and meaning by connec

ting a price to the work. It is hard to look at a

Picasso without thinking about the: millions
that changed hands for that one piece.

The museum has also become a retreat
wherein art can exist as it can nowhere else.
The minimalist movement is highly dependent
upon this. For how could the sculpture of a
large rectangle of bricks, as created by Carl
Andre. be considered art when put on the city
sidewalk? A piece of sculpture by Rodin in the
middle of a street would look like a misplaced
work of art. The artisitic relevance of a collec:
tion of bricks would be overlooked

In the movement away from all this came
the synthesis of earth-works; otherwise
known as land-art, These are massive
sculptures out in the middle of nowhere that
the general public is hard pressed to reach on
any given day. In their isolation, the artists are
attempting to get out of the inainstream of the
money and culture exchange to bring back
some of the meaning and significance which
they feel ahs been lost.

Other antsts refuse to create objects that can
be bought and sold. These artists have created
something that you could not own, but rather
must experience. They have created body-art
whereby they perform a sort of “high intensity
theatre.” For example, Stuart Brissly drown:
ing in a tank, and coming up for air at the last
moment.

All of these different stages of art were a way
in which to explore the realm of the human
experience, The question arises that if avant
garde has lost its direction and functions, has

modern art lost its meaning? We have high ex:
pectations of what art should be, and when i
doesn’t turn out, we blame it

The abstract art of the seventies had an tin
pact, “but it is equally as clear that its Inclusive
power Is not what the pioneers had hyped.
However. in not living up to the hopes of its
alisisic mastes, abstract art has not completely
lust all sense and meaning. Modernism has
not attempted to do what has not been done
before, for that would negate the theory of
continuity in the concept behind the evolu
tionary process of art, Hughes states that the

Unified effort

To the Editor:

‘Asa legislative intern in the New York State Senate, | wish
to give an informed response to the ASP's February 24 arti-
cle on Senator Jay P. Rolison's proposed alfernative to rais-
ing the drinking age.

Ina state where there is growing enthusiasm for a law 1
raise the drinking age to 21, itis time for those with vested in-
terests in preventing the passage of this legislation o wake
up! Should’ the drinking age be raised; Students,
Restauranters, Bar Owners, Liquor Dealers and others
‘would suffer enormous financial and social hardships, The
purpose of this legislation is 1o reduce the number of alcohol-
related traffic accidents, yet it would punish all 18, 19 and 20
year olds by revoking their right to drink. Furthermore, it
would threaten the livelihiood of many bar owners who cater
to an tinder 21 crowd.

On February 15, Senator Jay P. Rolison, Jr. (R-C,
Poughkéepsie) went to battle on behalf of those who would
unnecessarily suffer if the drinking age were raised to 21. He
announced his sponsorship of legislation that would serve to
remove the young, inexperienced drinking driver from our
roads in order to reduce auto accidents, but without raising
the drinking age 10 21, This bill would revoke, until age 21,
the driver's license of any young adult convicied of driving
while intoxicated, Senator Rolison offers an tive 10
raising the driking age, based on the fact that 99.5 percent of
all 18-20 year old drivers were not involved in any alcohol-
related traffic incidents, The legislation if passed, would
justifiably punish youthful offenders who drink and drive
but Senator Rolison added, ‘it would not affeet the over

Positive proposal

To the Editor:

In response to the recent ASP article, ‘Senator Otters
Alwernative 10 21 Drinking Age’ f would like the students o!
this University 9 seriously: weigh the merits of Sen, Jay P,
Rolison’s proposal,

The bill which Sen. Rolison proposes would, “revoke wnti}
age 21, the drivers license of any young adult convicted of
driving while intoxicated’? 1 see this as an excellent alter
native 10 raising the drinking age. Why? you might ask, Let's
look at some facts,

First of all, although opponents of the bill see it-as age
divcriminatory, they fail 10 recognize the fact that 24 percent
of all aleohot relaved accidents in this state involved
awed 16-21. This meany that one out of every fou

you think tavern owners like Peter Bauman (Harpo's Pub)
care about anything bur lining their own pockets, you are
saully mistaken, The point raised by Mr. Bauman (What
about the fifty sear ald driver) obviously shows his ignorance
and callous disregard for student patrons,

Furthermore, if he had given serious thought 10 Sen,
Rotison’s bill one would think he would see it ay an alte
native Which woud not hurt his business

One of the most startling aspects of the ASP article was the
ni-committal position of SASU, As our elected

dative one would think they would line up in

The rationale whieh Senator Rolison's bill bases ity pru
posal is simple, He firmly believes that legislators shouldn't
punish the majority of young adults for the responsibility ot
a few, He points to the fact that 99.5 percent of all 18-20 scat
old drivers were not involved in any aleohol related (ratte in

resulting in higher drinking related fatalities

In conclusion, I'd advise that the students of this Universi

pointed out that the priviledge to
drink salcoholic beverages has
already been taken from 18-year-
olds who must assume other adult
responsi ss. This, said Gaisler,
is selective prohibition,

The problems with selective pro-
hibition center on age discrimina-
tion, according to Gaisler. It is an
abuse of civil liberties to target one
‘small faction of the population, she
maintained,

and women under 21, who have
statistically proven low accident
rates, Gaisler said.

‘99.4 percent of those under
twenty-one have never been involy-
ed in an anto accident,” Gaisler
said. Education, rehabilitation and
sirict enforcement of DWI laws is
the solution to decreasing the
number of crashes, she stated,

Munch said that many studies
cited by those against raising the
drinking age were out of context,
The presidential commission set up
to study this question was compos-
ed of 36 organizations and had the
best available expertise across the
country. “This group, which had
no vested interest, like the Tavern
Owners, voted tinanimously to raise
the drinking age to 21,"" noted
Munch,

“Drinkng is not a constitution

dent only’ needs a rational logic
order to be changed," he added, 28

alcohol abuse. He noted that the
unenforceability of a drinking age
law is evidenced by the futility of
prohibition and the difficulty of en-
forcing anti-drug laws,
Wotherspoon explained that it is
almost impossible to enforce legista-
tion of social norms since people
begin to drink in social settings at
sixteen, He added that liquor can be

obiained through parents, friend:
and fake proof, and that instead of
drinking in @ licensed bar with
supervision, young people are forc-
ed to go “underground” with their
drinking,

To raise the drinking age is a
simplistic solution, stated Wothers-
poon, “It’s treating the symptom
while ignoring the disease," he add-

During the rebuttals, Boor
pointed out that bars sell only 24
percent of all alcoholic beverages,
He also noted that both supporters

‘There are no post-season tournaments for
junior varsity teams; at the end of the season,
the Danes’ thoughts will be on next year and
what it will have in store for them, Only one
player from varsity is graduating (starting
forward Wilson Thomas), so there won't be
many open spots on the roster, Two players
that have the best chances of making varsity
are Corley and Chapman,

“Duane took a big step from high school
to college this year," said Boland. “Things
he did and moves he made last year just don't
work in college-level basketball, Duane’s
really come along, but he still has to improve
to help out varsity.”

Corley has had some trouble guarding big
guards; in the second Union game, a bigger

anybody on the team,"
Of all the big men on the Danes, Chapman

ich doesn't like losing, and he plays that
way,” said Walton, "He's a tough kid,”

The man whose opinion counts the most is
Dick Sauers, Head Coach of Albany's varsity
team, Said Sauers, ‘I like Rich, He comes
from a good, tough program and he’s a good
competitor who wants to play. He's also not
afraid of contact, which is an admirable
quality in a player."

“To his credit, he gave it his all when he was
in the games. He's a good shooter that might
be able to help varsity."*

Oliver has always been a threat to score,

and his defensive play has been improving.
Still, there are some doublts about Oliver.
“*He's got a lot of natural ability, but he’s got
to push himself harder," said Boland, ‘He
should play with more intensity, because
sometimes it seems that he's just going
through the motions.”*

As a 6'2"" forward, Oliver will have to ad-
just his game to the shooting guard position.

Incoming transfer students or perhaps even
an outstanding freshman might take spots
away from this year’s j.v. team, The players
that don’t make varsity can be proud that
they were a part of an outstanding team.

“Scott is the type of player that helps the

an excellent job replacing O'Connell.

Lopiano to hold softball clinic

By Marc Berman
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Former softball great, Donia Lo-
piano, an inductee to the National
Softball Hall of Fame, will be con-
ducting a pitching and hitting clinic
in the University Gym, this Sunday
morning, March 11th.

The 36-year old Lopiano, who
compiled a 13° . pitching won-
oss record wh ~ he glayed in the
Class A softball .cague, will discuss
the basics of fast-pitch softball,
mainly hitting and pitching. The
clinic will begin at 10 AM and con-
clude ai $ PM.

‘Over 150 high school and college
coaches from the Eastern region
will attend and still more are ex-
pected. Albany State students are
also urged to attend at a special five
dollar discount rate

Besides the clinic serving to
enlighten coaches on techniques
and theories, Albany State softball
coach Lee ‘Rhenish, who has
organized the event, hopes to raise
enough money from the proceeds
for the school to buy an electric
scoreboard for the softball field and
install a permanent fence around
the outfield.

Lopiano, who retired from com-
petitive softball in 1978, is now
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
for women at the University of
Texas at Austin, Her career ac-
complishments enabled her to be in-
ducted into the National Softball
Hall of Fame in Oklahoma in 1983.
Thus far 78 players have received
such an honor- 46 men and 32
women.

“She (Lopiano) is more qualified
than any other clinician in the coun-
try, for softball,"" said coach
Rhenish, who has known Lopiano
sinée the 1960's. “Many men
coaches know a lot about softball,
but when it comes to teaching it,
the) can't break it down to the
basics."

Born in Brooklyn, Lopiano’s
sofiball achievements on the field
are just as. prestigious as her
teaching ability
@She was the youngest player ever
to be chosen as a softball All-
American (16).

@in her ten years with the
Raybestos Brakettes (1963-1973),
she led them to nine Natic

Championships and nine Alt

American honors at four different
Positions, >

@As a pitcher, she compiled a
153-18 pitching won-loss record,
15-2 in National Championship
play,

“She's a teacher's teacher and a
coach's coach," said Rhenish, ‘1
think one of the problems of soft-
ball on the high school and college
level is the coaches don’t know how
10 teach the sport, These clinics are
helpful in teaching coaches how to

h as well as informing the
players themselves. "”

Albany men swimmers finish fifth in SUNYACs

By Adam Goodman

This past Weekend, the Albany
Stale men's swim team capped
their impressive season with a
strong fifth place finish in the
SUNYAC Championships,

Last year, the Danes finished in
Seventh place, with 90 points, This
year, Albany finished fifth, but
more impressively racked up 191
points,

In the meet, defending champion
Potsdam was upset by Fredonia,
with the Bears settling for second.
Cortland finished a close third,
followed by Oswego,

For Albany, several stellar per-
formances led them to their good
showing, But one performance re-
mained seperated from the rest, as
Ted Ober, only a freshman, became
the first swimmer (o take a Gold

Medal in an event, as he won the
20-yard breastroke, In the process,
he shattered the Albany school
record, with a time of 2:15.27, The
man who previously held the mark
Was in attendance, He was, in fact,
Coach Shore. ‘1 was thrilled to see
him do it,” said Shore
finish in the 200-yard individual
medley to earn him’a ribbon for a
top twelve finish.

‘Although no other Albany swim-
mers could’ equal Ober’s Gold
Medal status, several swimmers ac-

Jeff Kennedy and Mike Wright
each won 3 Individual medals: the
maximum for any one swimmer,
Wright finished 4th in the 200-yard
backstroke, 5th in the 700-yard

ind 6th in the 500-yard
free style, Kennedy finished in the

top 6 in the 200-yard individual
medley, 400-yard individual
medley, and 200-yard backstroke.

Since up to thirty swimmers may
qualify for a single event, a finish in
the top six is quite good, and a rib-
bon signifying a 12th place finish or.
better is also cherished,

Jeff Ball became the fourth and
final Dane to finish in the top
twelve in all three of his events,
when he took 7th place in the
1680-yard {ree style.

Other swimmers such as Frank
Cawley, Fred Greenbaum, Tom
Handy, and Frank Pastier took rib-
bons in various events, Albany also
performed surprisingly well in the
relay events,

In the 400-yard mediey, Ken.
hedy, Ober, Greenbaum, and Bill
Meler teamed to finish third, with a

new school record of 3:45.8,

For Coach Shore, Albany's
Strong showing just capped off a
‘good season, and marked the begin-
ning of a resurgent men’s swimming
program, ‘We've had one heck of a
‘season; one as good as | could ever
have realistically hoped for.'"

Albany is an extremely young
squad, comprised almost entirely of
freshman and sophmores. In Ted
Ober, the Danes have a freshman
who has the potential to be one of
tte top all-around swimmers in the

The men's swim team finished their “appetizing” season with a strong fifth place finish at the

SUNYACs,

Racquetball club
to go to Nationals

The Albany State Racquetball
Club qualified for the nationals
as they placed fifth in the states
at Binghamton on Sunda;

‘The team was led by freshman
Garret. Thompson who shunned
a scholarship offer from Wichita
State, placed second, Thompson
is the only member of the Danes
that will'be eligible for the first
flite competition. Thompson
was defeated in the finals of the
states by a senior from the
hosting Binghamton after winn-
ing three matches.

‘According (o Thompson, the
States were the club’s first com
petition, and he expects big im-
provement in the nationals.

The nationals are on April 6,
in Memphis Tennessee and a

SUNYAC. Jeff Kennedy, perhaps
Albany's most consistent performer
all season long, specializing in the
individual medley and backstroke,
is only a sophmore. Albany's top
sprinter, Fred Greenbaum is only a
freshman,

On the whole, Albany's season
was a true success, The recipe of
two part strong freshman class and
one part seasoned veterans came
‘out tasting great. But it was onty an
appetizer. Next year will be the
main course, a

team of five will represent
Albany. o

Bowling results

The Albany State Inter-
collegiate Bowling Club defeated
RPI, the champion of the tri-
state bowling conference 3-0.

The five Albany bowlers
knocked down 2718 pins in the
three games while their RPI
counterparts only managed to
knock down 2384, RPI’s highest
single series was $20 as Albany's
was $22,

Albany was led by Dennis
Flewitt who bowled a 202 game
on his way to a $66 series. The
high game of the match was by
Steve Silva who bowled a third
game of 214.

Albany will have a

ball team; if he could get his players ready for
varsity, his job would be done. After a 17-3
season, it seems that Boland got more than
he asked for.

‘The year began with the Schenectady Com-
munity College tournament. The Danes
defeated Albany ‘Pharmacy to reach the
finals, where they met Schenectady CC.
Albany fell behind by as many as 17 in the se-
cond half, but rallied to defeat Schenectady,
62-60, That tournament provided a sample of
what was forthcoming in the games ahead;
the Danes were a talented team that wouldn't
quit and above all, would find.a way to win,

Albany reeled off cight consecutive wins
before dropping a pair (0 the Junior College
of Albany. "We weren't ready for the second
JCA game," said Boland, “We just got back
from vacation and we didn’t get enough
practices in, Still, we should have won at least
one of them.

The second JCA game marked the last
game that former co-captain Chris Jones
would play, Jones was the tcam's leading
scorer and the strongest inside player the
Danes had, Unfortunately, he was declared
academically ineligible for the remainder of
the season. “Chris was our best player when
he left,” said Boland, “There wasn't much
that he did wrong, The team moved faster
with him on the court, and it was easier 1o get
the ball inside, We really missed him.”

Jones’ departure left a void inside that hurt
the Danes, especially when they needed a
basket down low. ‘We didn't get the ball in
side enough when Chris left," said Boland
“He used to come out hard and demand the
ball, No one else did that."

The second loss to JCA was noteworthy
for another reason: Rich Chapman returned
to form. Chapman got cut from varsity
earlier in the year and decided to get away
from basketball for a little while. He made
his debut in the Danes’ eighth game, but it
wasn't until the second JCA toss (his third
game back) that Chapman made his presence
felt. He grabbed 10 rebounds in a strong per-

formance that indicated that he would be the
man to replace Jones,

Alter a 30-point romp against RPI, the
Danes took to the road and faced College of
St. Rose's varsity squad, This game establish-
ed Chapman as the Danes! only bonafide in-
side player, He scored 20 points, snared 11
rebounds and blocked five shots in the 82-66
victory, ‘*Rich definitely took up the slack as
our inside player and as a leader on the
team," said Boland. ‘He hits the boards so
well; without him, we would have been in
deep trouble."

One thing that the Danes were guilty of
was inconsistency, There would be games
when an observer might wonder if he were
watching the varsity team by mistake, And
then there were times when that observer left
for want of a better game, perhaps at the
YWCA, The second game against RPI would
be one of several games that would have
made the observer leave,

RPI's junior varsity team would be hard-
Pressed 10 defeat a good intramural team, It
wouldn't take any effort for Albany 10 beat
RPI and the second RPI game proved it. The
Danes sleepwalked their way to a lethargic
20-point victory, a game that should embar-
Fass the players just by being associated with
it, The victory did have one bright spot; Cur-
tis Oliver.

‘Curtis seemed to be the only guy who
came ready to play," said Boland. Oliver
scored 26 points and pulled down nine re-
bounds in an excellent performance. The
game appeared 10 boost Oliver's confidence,
‘ts he began to get more involved on offense
in the next few games. The Danes' next oppo-
hent was Union, Oliver connected for 17
Points, but more importantly, carried the
team down the stretch. With three minutes
left to play and the Danes up by only three,
Oliver stole the show. He scored six straight

pile best record in 10

points, four of them foul shots, to seal the
victory over the Dutchmen,

Albany's next game against New Paltz, as
well as their previous game against Union,
demonstrated how well the Danes can play
when they play like a team, Good teams seem
to bring out the best in the Danes, and New
Paltz was certainly a good team, Albany got
solid play from Chapman, Oliver, and guards
Duane Corley and Freeze Storey to defeat the

review

Hawks, 80-74, But once again, it was Oliver
who took control of the game in the last three
minutes, With the score 66-65, Oliver scored
eight straight points (six of them from the
line) and 10 of the team's last 14 points to
capture the victory,

The New Paltz victory was the first game
for the Danes without shooting guard Andy
O'Connell, O'Connell left the team for per-
sonal reasons, With O'Connell gone, Albany
found themselves without a true’ outside
shooter. “When he hit those outside shots,
we were very tough (0 beat,"" said Boland
“We missed him,"

The Danes now had a new look to their of-
fense. In the early part of the season, the
team was a fast-breaking team that could
score in almost any manner, When Jones
left, the Danes began to rely on the jumper.
But without O'Connell, the emphasis on of-
fense went inside 10 Chapman and Oliv
The following game against Oneonta
underlined the change; Chapman scored 25

Alban n of streaks throughor
the year, The Danes had two eight-game win-
ning streaks sandwiched around a two-game
losing streak. Against Hamilton, the team's
16th win, Albany was streaky on the court,
The Danes played horribly for the first 14
minutes of the game, but then ran off 11
straight points (o Lake an cight-point halftime
lead. In the opening minutes of the second
half, the Danes outscored Hamilton 10-2 to
put the game away, But aside from those
streaks, Albany did not play a good game.
“We had a few bad spells during the year,"
said Boland, “For the most part though, w
did play like a team,

When the Danes played like a team, no op-
Ponent was safe, Albany always seemed to
save their best efforts for Union; the first
game was a dogfight until the last few
minutes, The rematch, which was played at
Union, was not to be believed, During the
last 14 minutes of the game, neither team
held a lead of more than one basket, The
‘game was won by Oliver's 20-footer with on-
ly two seconds left, He scored 21 of the
Danes’ 51 points,

‘The Union game featured the Albany delay

game, starring Corley, Oliver and Storey,
Boland had so much confidence in their stall
that he used it with more than 12 minutes to
play in the game. Corley is the man who
makes it all work. ‘Duane took big strides to
becoming a leader,”’ said Boland, ‘As the
year went on, Duane realized that he didn't
have (0 score 20 points to lead our team, His
job was to set up the offense and to work the
ball around, He's really progressed this
year,"

If one can find fault with the Dane of-
fense, it would probably be the lack of pa-
tience against zone defenses, ‘*We relied too
much on the jumpers against the zone," said
Boland, ‘Instead of being patient and look-
ing for the good shot, we would rush our
shots off,"” This impatience was shown in the
Danes’ last game of the year against Hudson
Valley CC,

Albany's impatience doesn't always have
Negative results; when the shots are falling,
the Danes will win despite their impatience,
But when they're not firing, the Danes look
awful,

Hudson Valley held a 15-point bulge after
the opening minutes of the second half,
Albany then played the best 15 minutes of
basketball that you could ever expect 10 sce
from a junior varsity team, "We looked like

brought guys in off the bench, they filled in
well, We preity much did what we wanted to
against Hudson Valley," The Danes came up
basket short that game, which left them one
win short of 1974's record of 18-2,

The Albany press shook up HVCC during

sthe second half, causing turnovers every

other time HVCC had the ball. The full-court
press is something that the Danes used effe
tively from Day 1. “We've had good success
with the press because we have quick and
smart players,” said Boland. “Our back men
- Chris, Rich and Kevin (Mann) were all good
at anticipating the pass, We tried to make the
other team make mistakes,"”

When a team has a successful season,
credit has to be given to the players and the
coaches, Boland and Assistant Coach Kurt

that knew what they were doing, Said reserve
center G.T. Sweeney, ‘I learned more this

was poor foul shooting that did Albany in,

With 3:45 to play, the Danes were trailing
54-45, During the next wo minutes, their
tough defense held Nazareth scoreless
However, in that time span, Albany proceed-

situations, "If we had hit those free-throws it
would have been a different outcome,

"The line really killed us,""

‘A major concern for Warner coming into
the game was the height advantage Nazareth
possessed, The Danes put forth a valiant ef-

Lady Flyers 48-34, “They outsized us, but we
still outrebounded them, " said Warner, “If
we had a halfway decent offensive night, it

the race, McGill let Fredonia superstar Kevin
Rumsey get a lead, and then closed the gap

Pogue submits
Alcohol Policy
to Univ. Senate

Christine Reffelt
STAPF WRITER

All students interested in having a keg pa
ty should do so in the near future because,
according to Vice-President for Student Af-
fairs Frank Pogue, a new policy is currently
being proposed which would prohibit
students from having kegs in suite rooms,

According to policies set by the alcohol
committee, “The State University of New
York at Albany (SUNYA) is committed 10
maintaining an academic and social environ
‘ment conducive 10 the intellectual and per
sonal development of students and to the
safety and welfare of all members‘ of the
university community,"*

The proposal will go to the Student Affairs
Commitice on March 16, then to exectutive
committee on April 5, with the final decision
being made at the full Senate meeting o
April 9.

The proposal, aimed at curbing excessive
drinking, included suggestions by the Univer
sity Alcohol Policy Review committee, which
fs made up of both students and faculty
members. According to Pogue, the commit
tee was “unable to reach an agreement of
alcohol in suites ed that
the suite room is a private space, and
therefore students should be entitled 1 any
form of alcohol,

Other members however, stressed the
aspect of education, saying that the universi-
ty has the responsibility to preserve the en-
vironment and make the campus conducive
to education.

Pogue, then, decided to compromise, "*A
clean, safe environment must be creaied,"" he
said, '*1 am not restricting parties," he stress-
ed, “but just reducing the amount of alcohol
in rooms."

Jeff Schneider, Vice-President of Student
Association, disagreed with Pogue, saying
that eliminating keg use would not solve the
alcohol problem. ‘I don't like the idea of on-
ly having beer balls in suites," asserted
Schneider, “because students can just as casi
ly buy ten beer balls or ten cases of beer. The
keg ban would be impractical,"" he added.

In addition, Schneider fects that students
have not abused their right to have kegs in
suites, and therefore the right should not be
taken away from them, ‘The proposal is a
slight infringement on students’ rights,"
Schneider maintained, ‘because students
should not be given limits which are not legal-
ly defined by law."

SA President Rich Schaffer agreed wit
Schneider, saying that “restrictions will only
make students more apt to test the system

The Wellington Hotel

One option is student housing at the Thruway House,

Thruway House weighed as
alternative to Wellington Hotel

By Bob Gardinier

STAFF WRITER

The sale of the Wellington Hotel ha
brought about the question of what will hap-
pen to the 150 students that are housed there;
the‘ administration has noted the possibility
of ‘housing at the Thruway House Motel
across from the uptown campus.

The sale by the city of the Wel
Hotel was announced February 22 by Alb
Mayor Thomas Whalen 11, Albany physi-
cian Michael A, Blase purchased (he building
for $1.25 million and plans to convert it into
luxury apartments or condominiums, At the
time of the sale Michael A. Blase Jr., the
physician's son and business partner, told th
ASP the students should be able to continue
to live at the hotel throughout the spring of
1985,

Affirming the contentions of the new
owners of the hotel, Director of Residential
Life John Martone said, ‘1 have contacted
the Wellington and it is our expectation that
there will be housing there through the next

year.

But planning ahead to the future, Martone
said that there has been discussions with the
Thruway House over the possibility of hous-
ing students there on a permanant basis,
"We are talking to the Thruway House and
hey are very positive about it, they are very
very receptive,”” he said, He said that they
have discussed the number of beds available,
setting up study areas for the students and in-
ailing coin operated laundry facilities, said
Martone,

Martone said that he has also checked at
another possible location but could not
discuss it or disclose the location. He added
also that he was expecting something positive
from the Wellington in the next couple weeks
concerning the students remaining there for
the 1984-85 school year,

About seven students stayed at the
Thruway House this past fall, said Martone,
He added that arrangements were made
rather late last year to offer housing at the

Thruway, House and he did not know
whether it was this lateness or lack of interest
uulted in only seven students taking ad

that

“Yes we can house students over here and
we are interested,” said Thruway House
General Manager Jim St, Denis, There are a
tolal of 243 rooms at the motel with the mi
jority of them being doubles according to St,
Denis. He added that the management was
considering converting one wing into student
housing,

The motel would be able to offer 40 rooms
according 10 St. Denis, or housing for 80
students, St, Denis said that he is waiting for
the uni to get back in touch with him
about the proposal,

The management at the Motel are in the
process of structuring rates presenty accor-
ding to St. Denis but, he said, the cost per
student for a double room would be approx-
imately $1,000 a semester. This price includes
a once a week maid service to clean the
rooms, he said and student telephones and
televison service would be extra

The 150 students who live at the Well-
ington pay between $500 to $600 per semester
depending on room size, according to a front
desk clerk at the hotel, Maid service is also in-
cluded in the price for a room there,

“The Wellington is clean and safe," said
Martone, **but the facility is much older; the
Thruway House is much nicer and closer,"
There are large double rooms offered and
convenience to bathrooms, added Martone,

When asked about the number of students
that will be displaced as a result of the sale of
the Wellington, Vice President for University
rs Lewis Welch said, ‘The number is
fairly significant but when you compare it to
the total number of students living off cam-
Pus it is not large

Welch, however, asserted that he continues
to point out the need for additonal housing
and ideally it should be on-campus housing
because of accessibility. "We are going to
