porn film incites outcry
by Rosalyn Lee
February 5, 1985
With their chant ringing
through the Lecture Center
halls, about 40 people gathered
these past Friday and Saturday
nights to protest a University
Cinemas (UC) presentation of.
an X-rated movie.
Coalition Against
Pornography (CAP) members,
carrying signs and shouting
“Pornography is the theory, rape
is the practice,” demonstrated
against the showing of The
Opening of Misty Beethoven.
Only about 400 people over
four showings paid admission to
the film , according to UC offi-
cials.
“Pornography acts as a cata-
among the movie goers.
“They’re not humanists,
they (the protesters)
Ss h 0 Ww 1 n = O [ xe trying to prevent pay-
lyst in promoting sexual vio-
lence and negative attitudes
toward women,” said CAP co-
chair Ken Dornbaum.
“In these movies, women are
hurt raped, and murdered. And
the women are made to seem.
like they enjoy it. This leads
guys to believe that women like
to be hurt,” said Connie Jacoby,
a protester.
CAP co-chair Wendy Cervi
asserted, “Women (in porn
films) are treated like faceless
sexual objects, We can not con-
tinue to believe that what goes
on in these movies will not
affect us. This is not a women’s
issue, it’s a person’s issue.”
“They’re wasting their time,”
said one student going in to see
the film. “It’s just another
movie,” said another. There are
ing cus
tomers from doing what
they want with their
money,” said one movie-
goer.
According to UC director,
Lisa Feerick, UC knew about
the protest beforehand and sup-
ported it. “CAP has every right
to voice their opinions. A protest
is a good way to get CAP views
across.” Feerick added that the
showing of pornographic films
on campus “is nothing new” but
added, “UC does not make it a>
general rule to show porno-
graphic films. For a few years
running pornographic films were
not shown.”
Feerick called the demonstra-
tion a friendly protest and said
that she was glad she now had a
chance to develop dialogue with
CAP members. “His ~
(Dornbaum’s) views and my
personal views are pretty close.”
Lalso a few hostile voices
UC may no longer show X-
rated films on campus, Feerick
said, saying that she would pro-
pose a by-law against such
movies that would have to be

power to see we don’t, then we

A warning to Suny students about Rohypnol
By DAN RUISI
Staff Writer
The SUNYA administration is dis-
tributing flyers on campus warning
about the so-called “date rape” drug,
after it s first known sighting in the
area at the end of last semester.
Last week in the ASP, Wanda
Doening wrote an article about her
experience with Rohypnol
(Roofies), the date-rape drug.
The brand name for Roofies is
Rohypnol, the generic name is
Flunitrazepam. It is manufactured
by Hoffman-LaRoche and is current-
ly illegal in the United States. It is
legal in several European countries
as well as several Central and South
American countries by prescription.
It used to be legal for people to tra-
verse the US border in order to
obtain Roofies in other countries, but
recent legislation has made that ille-
gal as well. Hoffman-LaRoche man-
ufactures Rohypnol in Mexico,
which accounts for the drug’s migra-
tion from south to north.
Roofies belongs to a family of
drugs called Benzodiazepines, which
include more familiar drugs like
Valium, Xanax and _ Halcion.
Traditionally other Benzodiazepines
are used for the short-term allevia-.
tion of stress. Dr. Ingrid Porter, med-
Central Council discusses UAS and Division
ical director of the University Health
Center, said that other drugs besides
Roofies can produce the same
effects.
She noted that since Roofies are
much more potent than the other
Benzodiazepines, it would require a
large dose of other Benzodiazepines
to achieve the state of amnesia typi-
cal of Roofies. Chip Walls, from the
University of Miami, has become a
major leader in developing testing
techniques for Roofies.
He said, “Halcion and Xanax
would produce similar results, but
with somewhat less of an effect on
memory. It therefore becomes
important to screen for any
Benzodiazepine when we suspect for
this kind of assault.” Drinking alco-
hol greatens the risk for amnesia
while taking Benzodiazepines.
The effects of benzodiazepines
when taken with alcohol start within
15-30 minutes of ingestion. Motor
skills are slowed down, inhibitions
are lowered, muscles relax and sleep
often sets in. The victim usually
comes out of an amnesia 6-8 hours
later, having no memory of that
block of time.
It is during this 6-8 block of time
that cases of gangs raping women, as
well as individual perpetrators have
been reported. If someone suspects
Better food? Central Council discusses new food proposals at Feb. 5 meeting.
By AMANDA LEVIN
Student Association Correspondent
The quality of food provided by the
University Auxiliary Service (UAS)
in the University at Albany cafeterias
was a hotly contested issue debated at
Wednesday’s Central Council meet-
ing.
Two students, Dave Shor and
Mike Dabramo, spoke to council
members in regard to their dissatis-
faction with the food served by UAS.
Both Shor and Dabramo_ have
received enormous support from fel-
low students who agree with their
cause to either replace UAS or to sim-
ply improve the food.
They provided council
members with a petition saying that
1,250 of their fellow students are also
dissatisfied and are demanding a
change.
“I want everyone to sign the peti-
tion. The food is unhealthy and tastes
terrible, I believe the students should
have a right to do something about
it,” Shor said.
Central Council Chairman Steve
Schwab, who is also on the UAS
board, is involved with finding a
solution to the probiem. As for the
petition, Schwab met with Dr. Carl
Carlucci, vice president of Finance
and Business, and he learned why the
food has not been improved.
“SUNY Albany pays the second
least for our board plan. Our board
plan is the amount of money we pay
to eat in the cafeteria. We pay $1,638
a semester and unfortunately we real-
ly get what $1,638 will give us.
They use up all that money even a
little more to provide the food we cur-
rently have...What he asked me,
would the students be willing to pay a
little more. As all SUNY schools,
like Buffalo and Binghamton, they all
love their food, but they also all pay
close to $600 and $1100 a semester
more than we do.”
In next week’s election, Schwab
would like to put in an opinion refer-"
endum asking students if they would
be willing to pay more money for bet-
ter food. “UAS can’t buy more food
without more money, they’re not for
profit,” Schwab said.
Schwab said he would then seek
a one-year trial run for UAS to
improve the food. During that time,
a campus-wide committee would
need to be formed in order to review
the change and to make sure the stu-
dents are satisfied. If the students, as
well as the University are not satis-
fied, choosing a new company may
be a wise idea according to Schwab.
With the current board plan, how-
ever, SUNY Albany remains as, “one
of the top ten best buys in food and
academics,” according to Wayne
Esposito, Food Services director.
In other business, Athletics
Director Milt Richards, addressed
council in regard to Division | athlet-
ics. Richards explained there are four
critical points to remember. The first
is that there would be no additional
funding from the state. Second, ath-
letes would still be admitted through
for sexual assault are clearly spelled
they were drugged, they only have
two days to get to the hospital to
obtain any evidence that may be
admissible in court, as that is how
long Roofies stay in the body. It is
also important that the victim under-
goes the physical exam for rape, to
find any injuries and record evidence
for law enforcement. _
Dr. Julie Heslin, Coordinator for
Sexual Assault Prevention and
Education at the University
Counseling Center, said the criteria
out in the Principles of a Just
Community.
“Any attempt to engage in sexual
acts with someone when they are
clearly not in the position to make a
decision is sexual assault,” she said.
Dr. Heslin emphasized that if some-
one feels they have been sexually
assaulted, they should go to UPD.
All information is kept confidential,
and even if the victim does not press
charges against the perpetrator, the
Police .will have the report and can
use the information to establish a pat-
tern if this isn’t the first time they
have been called on the perpetrator.
An arrest in Colonie and an inci-
dent with a female in Pittsfield, MA
have been the only confirmed reports
of Roofies in the area.

regular channels, if they weren’t
qualified academically they would
not be able to compete with other stu-
dents. Third, the department would
continue to treat men and women’s
athletics equally. The final point was SUNY
that recreation areas would increase.
In opening remarks, Mike
Livermore, the campaign director for
NYPIRG, spoke to council about
what the student body can do to fight
the budget cuts and to fight the $400
tuition increase. “Financial aide will
be cut and...68% of students on this
campus receive financial aide...So,
everyone...on this campus needs to
fight this,” Livermore said.
Livermore informed council that
the best way to help fight the budget
cuts, and the tuition increase is to par-
ticipate in Lobby Day. This event on
March 5 will allow council members
and students to speak with their sena-
tor or assemblymen on this issue.
The, Women’s Issues Director,
Samantha Hiotakis, spoke to council
members last week in regard to her
recent experience at the Washington
Center. She was selected along with
70 other\ women in the nation to
attend a conference entitled Women
as Leaders Seminar.
“We met with women everyday on
different issues like health care,
media, education and policy...and it
was incredible because it was all of
these women coming together to talk
about issues at a round table type of
discussion...” Hiotakis said.
SUNY reacts to bigotry

among readers. I consider it a very
disrespectful way by the editors to
do it.”
Both Freilich and Mayer agree
that if the editors of the ASP felt they
had to print the letter, a disclaimer
News Feature
JOSHUA PADGUG
A letter appearing in the January
31 issue of the Albany Student Press
evoked emotions from students on
campus this week. The letter alleged
that Jews as a group were somehow
involved in tricking the American
public into funding a plot to rule the
world.
Neil. Freilich, vice chairman of
Central Council and Jason Mayer,
president of Hillel, expressed out-
rage at the letter. ‘“‘ ] am very disap-
pointed in the ASP. The paper
should use more discretion,” said
Freilich.
Jason Mayer is urging students on
campus to speak up. “Students
should voice their opposition to this
incident. The ASP should use better
judgment than to print the ramblings
of such a hateful person. There is no
constitutional obligation for the ASP
to print everything it receives for its
letters to the editor column. The
ASP should make it a point to draw
should have been presented by the
ASP as a forward. They also agree
that the issue at hand is not with the
author of the letter. “She is obvious-
ly not entirely mentally capable,”
Mayer said. The issue is with the
ASP. Its editors should act with
more responsibility,” Freilich said.
Both Freilich and Mayer are
requesting an apology and an admis-
sion from the ASP saying that print-
ing the letter was a mistake.
Harry Rubenstein of RZA/Tagar
reported receiving many phone calls
from upset students since the article
was printed. He says that, “printing
the letter only perpetuated its
premise, it is especially disappoint-
ing because the editors of the ASP
are Jewish and. are representing a
the line at hateful material. This is double standard.”

Albany may go Division One

Albany students stroll by the RACC early Monday morning.
The move of SUNYA’s athletics program from Division II to Division I
has become one step closer to reality this month, as the University Senate has
received a recommendation to make the move.
The recommendation was made by the Intercollegiaie Athletics Advisory
Board, an 11-member panel made up of faculty, administrators, students, and
one alumni. é
According to Assistant Athletic Director Brian DePasquale, several steps
still need to be taken before a final decision is made.
DePasquale said President Karen Hitchcock will consult with various con-
stituents on campus, and Student Association will take a non-binding refer-
endum poll of the student body. Student Association President, Mike
Castrilli confirmed they will be conducting the referendum.
Eventually, DePasquale said, the University Senate will vote on the pro-
posal, and the proposal will end up on Hitchcock’s desk for final approval.
The Senate’s Educational Policy Council will be reviewing the matter.

Tips on how to make a commitment work
Being a student and being in a committed relationship can sometimes feel incom-
patible and conflictual, while at other times it might feel quite harmonious. A commit-
ted Relationship can provide you with important emotional support as you cope with
the pressures of school and work.
At the same time, a committed relationship represents additional responsibilities
and makes demands on your time. Not surprisingly, trying to fill both roles (that of
being a student and that of being in a relationship) can at times be confusing, stressful
and frustrating. Your communication skills and the way you and your partner handle
the inevitable “boundary issues” can greatly influence the quality of your life together
as well as the quality of your student experience.
- Maintaining quality in a relationship requires communication. Most
Middle people know this, but many people experience difficulty in consistently
Earth using effective communication skills. People in committed relationships
need to express positive feelings, negative feelings, complaints, needs,
Roots and above all, affection in a way that can be heard by the other person.
In the academic context, the environment emphasizes the importance
and independence of academic activities. Perhaps by omission, the academic world
de-emphasizes relationships. The obvious commitment that students involved in rela-
tionships need to have with their partner and the time needed to express that commit-
ment require careful negotiation. The student partner needs to communicate that
his/her partner’s needs and activities are important, that the impact of decisions on
each person is significant, and that each person has dignity and worth as an individual.
This positive context for communicating is especially important when working out
sensitive “boundary issues. “
Boundaries
Boundaries (especially time boundaries) are important because in school there is
always more to be done than there is time in the day, week, or semester. That does not
necessarily change after graduation. It is important to learn how to set limits now.
Ironically, you will probably be more effective in school and in your career if you
adopt a lifestyle that allows time to take care of your work and your relationships at
the same time.
Above all, schedule regular and specific times to spend with your partner free of
school and household responsibilities. You may enjoy being together as you do neces-
sary tasks, but that does not adequately meet your need for time alone as a couple. Try
treating these scheduled times with the same respect you would a meeting time with a
boss or an advisor. In fact, treat these “quality” times with your partner with more
respect since your partner is more important in the long run than your boss or advisor.
Similarly, each of you needs to learn to say “no” to outsiders’ requests for time
that exceed the priorities the two of you have set and spent time to determine. Rele-
vant questions may include, “What am I sacrificing by spending my time this way? Is
it more important than time with my partner?” Learn to consult with-each other when
making significant alterations in joint priorities. A conversation with your partner
along these lines often is invaluable: “I’m thinking about doing this... How do you
feel about it?”
Successful relationships require each partner to take seriously the other’s pres-
sures, needs and wants. Negotiating with the good of each person in mind often leads

junderrepresented groups more space
to less-than-preferred but healthier decisions and circumstances. Furthermore, the old
admonishment to “just try harder” rather than negotiating new possibilities may not be
enough. Rather, certain problems may require totally new approaches. Here are some
examples of what may be new approaches to frequent concerns.
Communication Breakdowns
No matter how hard couples try, they will have at least occasional communication
breakdowns. A communication breakdown occurs when the speaker’s intent doesn’t
correspond with the impact of the message received by the listener. Usually the impact
is negative. The negative impact may range from feelings of mild confusion or irrita-
tion all the way to profound anger. To begin resolving a communication breakdown,
the listener needs to identify the impact, describe it to the speaker, and ask if that
impact was intended. For example: “When you say ‘X’, I feel put down. That doesn’t
mean you are trying to put me down...I may be misinterpreting or something. Whatev-
er the case, I think it would help if we talked about it. “
If the speaker meant no harm, the listener has done both people a favor by identj-
fying the negative impact so it can be undone. The original conversation can then
resume with increased awareness and sensitivity. However, if the speaker really did
intend to exert a negative impact, the two should perhaps explore and resolve the rea-
sons for that intention before going on. Having done that, the couple may find it much
easier to deal with the original topic.
Concluding Comment
Implicit in all of the preceding suggestions are the themes that when partners
are equally empowered and active in decision and planning processes, the decisions
and plans are more likely to be carried out. Both the process of communicating and
negotiating and the end result tend to be more satisfying for both partners. Remember,
communication and negotiation are skills that can be learned.
The University library has several self-help books on relationships and commu-
nication, that may be helpful. In addition, The University Counseling Center (442-
5800) and the Middle Earth Hotline (442-5777) can be other valuable resources. Last-
ly, February 9-14, 1997 is the University at Albany’s 14th annual Sexuality Week.
This year the theme is “Questions of Choice” and will features several workshops rel-
evant to communication in relationships. In addition, other important topics such as
Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Identity, Contraception
and many other important topics will be featured. Stop by the Campus Center infor-

A number of student groups will be

ly using to operate fully.

able space. Together, the Pan Hellenic

Jessica Casey, director of student

Life, said the new occupants of the
offices will be chosen by weighing the
size, mission, resources and budget of
the groups who are applying for the

list of groups who are requesting an
office.
The ASP has petitioned the Campus
Life Advisory Board to let it keep the

Awareness Week, for the
second year in a row.
Eating Disorders Aware-
ness Week has been
nationally recognized for
the past ten years. More

events. Starting Wednes-
day a table was set up in
the lobby of the campus
center, providing students
with extensive literature
and — informational
brochures about eating
disorders.
A workshop entitled
“Eating Disorders Facts
and Fiction” was offered
to students on Thursday at
noon, in CC375. At the
workshop, Jennifer Zak-
Place, a hot-line coordina-

Zak-Place discussed the
different types of eating
disorders that exist includ-
ing; anorexia nervosa,
bulimia nervosa, and
binge eating disorder. She
also talked about;the
symptoms of and the typ-
ical treatments for such
disorders.
Almost a dozen students
came to learn about this
serious illness that ails
approximately 5 percent
of all college women.
Free and confidential
eating disorder screenings
were also made available
to students. Two clini-
cians were available for
students to talk to follow-
ing the workshop. It was
made clear that students
seeking help would not be
diagnosed by the clini-
cians but referred to
resources where treatment
could be sought.

America is a country of coasts; all of the main events take place on
either the east or the west coast. In the middle of the country lies
America’s cornfields, with small towns based around a factory or two
dispersed in a random fashion. Newton, Iowa is a town which owes its
existence to Fred Maytag, the man who started an entire industry try-
ing to make the chore of doing the laundry easier for his wife, right in
Newton. Maytag corporation is now a fortune 200 company with its
world headquarters located in Newton.
The Town of Newton is a picturesque, All-American type of town.
High school football is the main past time, and factory jobs are the
main source of employment, with the exception of the dwindling num-
ber of farmers. The town has a newspaper, the Newton Daily News,
which is a broad sheet about as thick as the ASP. It is influenced
greatly by the actions of the town’s prominent family, the Vernons.
DAN RUISI
The Vernons also influence town politics and the town’s work force,
since they own an advertising firm which owns a printing shop in
Newton, making it the second biggest employer in Newton.
Newton is plagued by the same type of problems any other town
experiences. Speed is the drug of choice in Newton, with snorting and
injecting methamphetamine about as popular as smoking marijuana
here in New York. Many of the users claim to do it in order to stay
awake at their grave yard-shift jobs, since these are the only jobs avail-
able. Unemployment is rampant in Newton, which has the added
problem of being isolated from other cities which might have job
opportunities. Recently Vernons fired half of their printing staff. One
single mother had been working there for eight years, yet she was still
fired. Many of the people who were fired from Vernons originally took
their jobs there because they were fired from one of Maytag’s various
factory jobs.
An added problem to most of the town’s employers’ “downsizing” is
the state law referred to as Employment at Will. Employment at Will
is a law which states that an employer can fire someone for any rea-
son, including sex, religion or race. It was designed to stimulate
Iowa’s economy. In practice the law has helped companies grow, but
only at the expense of employees’ job stability. Another single mother
in Newton recently got a job at one of the banks in town. To her hor-
ror, she found out that the bank averages firing two employees a
month. This way unemployment insurance, paid vacations and promo-
tions are kept at a minimum. People will still work for the bank
because the need for jobs is so high. The real estate office workers
next door to the bank place bets on who is going to fired from the bank
every month. According to them, no teller has lasted at the bank more
than five months.
This experiment is laissez-fair capitalism only came about in
response to the depressed economy of the states in the middle of
America. The welfare societies our government has created by subsi-
dizing crop prices has interfered with the economy of the region so
much that no economic equilibrium could be established. It’s ironic
how a welfare society can cause a laissez-faire capitalism.
The average American works 50 hours a week. People on the east
and west coast probably average 40 hours or below, while people in
the Midwest probably average much more than 40 hours a week.
Traveling out to the Midwest is an educational experience, and helps
build a more complete world view. America isn’t supposed to be like
this. People on the east an west coast are living in a completely differ-
ent world from Midwesterners. The Midwest probably meets the UN’s
criteria for being a third world country, but nothing is done about it.
That’s because changing it would require a lot of work, and politicians
would prefer to stick a band-aid on problems. Perhaps the best thing
to do would be to totally remove the government from the farm econo-
my and let it purge its self. Either way, Midwesterners will be living
in conditions the rest of the country consider substandard, all while
feeding us and making our economy stronger.
EDITORIAL
This week we all witnessed a tragedy as some
of our friends’ home was destroyed. This brings to
mind the conditions we who live downtown
endure in order to live independently.
Landlords often take advantage of students who
are living on their own for the first time. Juniors
and students moving into their first apartment are
the most susceptible.
There are many landlords operating in Pine
Hills who own large numbers of apartments that
are decrepit. Although the city of Albany does
nothing to protect students from these opportunis-
tic thieves, there are things we can do to protect
ourselves.
NYPIRG has compiled a list of disreputible
landlords and everybody should avail themselves
of this list. Campus life also has information that
can help us avoid being taken advantage of.
This information may be very helpful but
nobody knows it exists. This information has to
be more accessable. An excellent way for our
University to protect us students is to make living
on campus more attractive.
Steps have been taken to keep students on cam-
pus. Colonial heights is very popular with upper-
classmen and there are many more upperclassmen
£6 RE 20
living on Freedom Quad. Security guards in tower
and lowrise lobbies make students uncomfortable
but weighed against security they seem an
unpleasant necessity. Just about all of us living
downtown remember having more money living
on campus and staying on campus is a financially
sound decision. But Freedom from authority and
independence lures students off campus. Full size
refrigerators, stoves, and privacy, are also very
alluring.
It will take a little more than special interest
housing in otherwise completely similar towers to
bring students back to campus.
The university must offer something different
and something better than downtown Albany. A
large percentage of the students living in the stu-
dent ghetto are Greek, and the Greek Councils at
this university have been asking for greek housing
for sometime.
Greek houses would offer a fresh alternative
while addressing a group of students that are
ready and willing to move back to the university.
At the same time Greek housing would get money
out of the hands of the slum lords and it would
send this revenue back into the university.
Pres’ Response
To the Editor;
While supporting your free
speech rights, I find it extremely
regrettable that editors of the
Albany Student Press, in your
issue of January 3 1, 1997,
showed such poor judgment as
to publish — indeed, highlight
— a letter from a Missouri resi-
dent that was hateful, ignorant
and anti-Semitic.
My position is clear and firm
on racism, anti-Semitism, homo-
phobia or any act of prejudice.
Such acts are not acceptable,
have no place within the Univer-
sity at Albany Community, and
cannot be condoned.
One of the fundamental values
of our institution is respect for
truth and a deep commitment to
a community of learning which
is just and rejects all acts of hate
and prejudice. I urge you to issue
an apology, and exercise better
editorial judgment in the future.
Sincerely,
President Karen Hitchcock
SA funding
To the Editor:
Where is your money going?
The student activity fee that you
are billed for every semester is
put in the hands of the Student
Association. As soon as they
have a hold of it, their political
agenda steps in and student
interests take a back seat.
The fundamental purpose of
this university is to prepare stu-
dents for the future through
experience and_ learning.
Shouldn’t SA fund the groups on
campus that support that?
Apparently not. Take for exam-
ple the Albany Business Com-
puting Association. The ABCA
promotes education related to
business and computing through
its many workshops throughout
the year. After a successful first
year, the ABCA has shown
promise and great potential for
growth. Potential which will go
unrealized without proper fund-
ing. At the present this group
receives $135 for their approxi-
mately 120 members. By way of
comparison if each member had
1/2 of their activity fee for the
year put directly into their club
they would have a budget
approximately 54.2 times its pre-
sent amount. Even this new bud-
get would encompass only
1.15% of the total student bud-
get. Misdistribution of funds to
say the least!
This money does nothing for a
group who is serious in prepar-
ing people for careers. With
funds the ABCA could help pro-
mote computer literacy, fund
scholarships, and link students
with businesses via the web for
careers after graduation.
At least a group founded by
Sung Bok Kim in 1991 should
be funded adequately right?
Wrong. The Presidential Honors
Society is one of the least funded
groups on campus. When one
seeks the answer as to why this
is the case they’ll reply “that’s
selective”. Boy, do I feel sorry
for all those poor students who
always seem to get selected to
stay in and study on their Tues-
day nights instead of going to
Peabody’s. The fact is that any-
one who is willing to put the
time and hard work into their
studies has the potential to
become a member.
SA seems to be a perfect
microcosm for our elected offi-
cials in the Federal government.
Both groups take large amounts
of money from people and use
little rationale when they redis-
tribute it. The Student Associa-
tion may want to raise this fee.
Before you ask for more of our
money you should learn to spend
what you have. The budget of
Ultimate Frisbee exceeds the
combined budgets of the Charles
Drew Science Club, ABCA, and
the Presidential Honor Society.
The Pre-Law Association
deserves a little more than the
.000546 of the total budget they
are presently allocated. Although
SA,to their credit,has sponsored
many worthwhile events many
student groups are still over-
looked. How about some serious
financial support for those
groups and clubs that promote
what every respected university
strives to produce, namely intel-
ligent, hardworking men and
women who leave campus
prepared for the future.

SEXUALITY IN THE 90’S

University at Albany student visits homeland over break
JOSHUA PADGUG
Every year Israel sees an end-
less flow of tourists bringing
Jews from all over the world.
Tours specifically designed for
students are just one of the many
options collegiates have if they
feel a yearning desire to visit
Israel. 2
SUNY Albany’s own Central
Council Vice Chairman, Neil
Freilich, spent his winter break
on a 17 day tour of the tiny coun-
try. Traveling from the Golan
Heights in the north and ending
in Israel’s capital of Jerusalem,
Freilich described his trip as sim-
ply “amazing”.
“It was awe-inspiring to see
with my own eyes the sights and
places that I had only read about
previously,” commented Freilich.
To those people who say that
Israel is a dangerous place to
visit, Freilich says, “everywhere

Freilich had much to say about
the current political situation
now facing Israel. The peace
talks between Israelis and the
Arabs in the Middle East is an
effort to put an end to terrorism
that has ensued as a result of
hostility of the issue of who the
land of Israel belongs to. Partic-
ularly significant to
., Freilich was his time
spent in
Heights.
“The Golan Heights are
currently in discussion
between
ok
the Golan
Israel and
Syria,” he said. Israel annexed
the territory in 1980 and Syria
wants it back. “The majority of
Jews are in favor of keeping the
Golan Heights. They are afraid
that under the jurisdiction of
Syria, water from the Sea of
Galilee will be diverted away
from Israel. Israelis depend on
that water,” says Freilich.
Freilich also expressed his admi-
ration for the capital city of
Jerusalem. “Visiting the old city
of Jerusalem was very special for
me. I saw the Western Wall
which was originally part of a
2000 year old Jewish temple.
A single remaining wall
remains in its original form.
Debates over the opening of tun-
nels beneath the wall sparked
riots in the Arab section of
Jerusalem in September. That
was a real shame,” reflects
Freilich.
Finally, Freilich recounts one
particular night when he came
across a small group if Jews ral-
lying for the Israeli Knesset (Par-
liament) to vote against a con-
cession to Arabs. “I was sad to
see such a small group. It
seemed like the demonstrators
were waging a losing battle,”
says Freilich. “Some of the peo-
ple said they felt that the Primer
Minister of Israeli, B.
Netanyahu, was giving Arabs
concessions without getting any-
thing in return, and that
Netanyahu himself was a

Famous U.S. Women ‘s Alpine Ski Team Diet
During the non-snow off season the U.S. Women’s Alpine Ski Team
members used the “Ski Team” diet to lose 20 pounds in two weeks.
That's right - 20 pounds in 14 days! The basis of the diet is chemical
food action and was devised by a famous Colorado physician espe-
cially for the U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy is maintained (very impor-
tant!) while reducing. You keep “full” - no starvation - because the diet
is designed that way. It's a diet that is easy to follow whether you
work, travel or stay at home. (For men, tool)
This is, honestly, a fantastically successful diet. If it weren't, the
U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team wouldn't be permitted to use it! Right?
So, give yourself the same break the U.S. Ski Team gets. Lose weight
the scientific, proven way. Even if you've tried all the other diets, you
owe it to yourself to try the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet. That
is, if you really do want to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. Order today!

Lady Danes drop two in a row
By CHRISTOPHER MCMAHON
Sports Editor
The University at Albany Lady
Dane Basketball team started the
month of February trying to con-
tinue their dominant play. Com-
ing into the second month of the
new year, the squad had com-
piled a 14-4 overall record.
Albany started with a 9-2 confer-
ence record. That was second
best in the New England Colle-
giate Conference.
On February 1, the Lady
Danes had a contest against the
Sacred Heart Pioneers, in Fair-
field, Connecticut. This Saturday
afternoon contest was close for
the whole game. Albany trailed
by only five at halftime on the
road.
With 8:36 left in the game,
Albany led by seven, 57-50. This
was right after an offensive and
defensive exhibition, as the Lady
_ Danes went on a 12-0 run. Dur-
lead Albany. The loss dropped
the Albany squad to 9-3 in the
conference, and 14-5 overall. .
In another conference game,
played last Tuesday evening,
Albany took on New Hampshire
College. The Lady Danes were
trying to continue their mastery
over New Hampshire. Earlier this
season, in a game played at the
Recreation and Convocation
Center, Albany crushed New
Hampshire College by the score
of 78-46. Albany’s team knew
they would have to stay focused
and not be overconfident for this
game.
At halftime of this NECC
game, the Lady Danes were lead-
ing by seven points. With 8:33
remaining in the second half,
Albany led 51-45. At this point,
New Hampshire went on a nine
to nothing run, and Albany was
down by three. However, Saman-
tha Ginsberg had the answer they
needed. In their next possession,
she hit a three-pointer to tie the
score.
Katie Zeglis hit a shot from the
baseline to give Albany the lead
by one. But from that point on,
New Hampshire scored six of the
next nine points and the Lady
Danes had been handed their sec-
ond conference loss in a row.
Zeglis was the game high scor-
er, with a season high 16 points.
She hit seven of ten shots from
the field, and added two free
throws. Alison Bowe and Gins-
berg both added seven points for
their team. Ginsberg had a game
high six assists.
This second straight loss for
the ladies brings their NECC
record to 9-4, and their overall
record to 14-6. The five remain-
ing games will be very important :
for the Lady Danes, since that is
all that they have left leading up
to the NECC tournament. On Sat-
urday, February 8, Albany takes Its
ing this stretch, Samantha Gins-
berg led the offensive explo-
sion.Ginsberg led the Danes with
seventeen points on seven of fif-
teen shooting from the field and
three of three from the line. She
also led the team with three
assists and three steals.
The Great Danes took their last
lead of the game when Kerry
Ochal, from Amsterdam High
School, hit a turnaround jumper
in the paint. At this point, they
were ahead by the score of
68-67. However, with only
forty-three seconds left to go in
the game, a Sacred Heart player
hit the go ahead free throw to
seal the fate of the Lady Danes
on this afternoon.
Mary Harrison helped the
offensive cause with fifteen
points, five of eleven from the
field, and one of two from the
free throw stripe, in the defeat.

Track and Field on a roll
By Taomas MCMAHON
Managing Editor
The University at Albany indoor track
and field program is having yet another
spectacular season. The men and women
opened their season at the Cornell Relays
back on December 7. Tonya Dodge contin-
ued to dominate the distance running with
a winning time of 17:55.10 in the
5,000—meter run. This run has provisional-
ly qualified her for the National Collegiate
Athletic Association Division II Indoor
Championships which will be held in
March at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis,
Indiana. The time was also a new school
record.
This was a non-scoring Invitational, but
Albany still made the most of it. Ellakisha
Williamson captured the 55—meter hurdles
title with a time of 8.26 seconds. This run
also provisionally qualified Wiliamson for
the NCAA Division II Championships.
Also in the short distances, Williamson
and teammate Xiomara Davila ended in a
dead heat first place finish in the 55—meter
dash with a time of 7.29 seconds.
For the men, Ben Wright, Halim Wise,
Rob Naughter and Dennis King claimed
victory in the distance medley relay at
10:18.13.
The Great Danes continued to have suc-
cess after the holiday’s with a 82-50 victo-
ry over Williams College, and a first place’
finish out of 14 teams at the Brandeis Invi-
tational. The Lady Danes enjoyed similar
success with a 70-53 win over Williams
and a first place finish out of nine teams in
the Brandeis Invitational.
Last Saturday both teams traveled to
compete in the Syracuse Invitational. The
women had another strong shwoing as
Williamson and Davila each claimed indi-
vidual titles. Williamson captured the
55—meter hurdles by setting a new school
mark with a time of 7.97 seconds, and she
also qualified for the NCAA Division II
Indoor Championships. Davila finished
second (8.13) in the same race and also
qualified for the NCAA’s.
In the 55—meter dash Davila claimed
victory in 7.19 seconds folowed by
Williamson (7.25). Both times provisional-
ly qualified the Lady Danes for the
NCAA’s. Tonya Dodge also continued to
collect titles as she won her heat in the
800-meters (2:17.71) and set a school
record which provisionally qualified her
for the NCAA Championships in March.
In the 1997 National NCAA Division II
Indoor Track and Field Dual Meet Rank-
ings, the Albany men are ranked third
while the Albany women occupy the
fourth spot. However, both teams are
ranked first in the East Regional rankings.
For his work with the Albany women’s
team, Roberto Vives was named East
Region Coach of the Month for January.
- Proving once again that he is one of the top
track and field coaches in the nation.
Both Albany’s women’s and men’s
teams will compete in the Millrose Games
today at Madison Square Garden in New
York City. Then both teams will be a part
of the Colgate’s ‘32 Classic on Saturday.
These will be the final meets before the
New England Collegiate Conference
Championships on February 15, and the
Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference
Championships on March 1-2.

A look at how the local hockey
teams faired this past weekend
By ROBIN BENNETT
After a three game Canadian stint,
‘where all the New Jersey. Devils could do
was tie, they finally came up with a big
win against the rival Islanders on Febru-
ary 5. The Devils dominated the Isles in
every aspect of the game; out-shooting,
out-scoring, out-fighting, and out-defend-
ing the meager attempts by Palffy and
friends.
The Islanders were given the first
power play of the evening at 7:21 of the
first period, when Devils center, Bobby
Holik, went to the box for interference of
the goaltender. They played like the situ-
ation was reversed. There was only one
shot on goal allowed as the Devils
cleared the puck six times. To make mat-
ters worse, New Jersey had three short-
handed shots on goal, and Brian Rolston
nearly scored on a breakaway.
Holik was only out of the penalty box
for 20 seconds when the puck was once
again under his control. He passed it to a
wide open Bill Guerin, who easily wrist-
ed it in from the right face-off circle at
9:46.
Quasi-rookie, Steve Sullivan, has more
than earned his place as left wing on the
top line with Bobby Holik and Dave
Andreychuk. He was, as always, a strong
force on the ice all night against the Isles.
He brought the lead to a comfortable 2-0
at 17:36 of the first, when he scored on a
power play.
rebounded a shot on goal from Scott Nie-
dermeyer at the point, easily beating Salo
to the net. Sullivan was able to tally
He centered himself, and —
another point in the third period when he
fired a bullet from the left face-off circle,
and Andreychuk easily put it to bed from
the front of the crease. Sullivan’s
endeavors earned him the second star if
the game, while fellow linesmen Holik
and Andreychuk were third and first
respectively.
The Devils’ powerful defense did not
make things easy for the Isles. They
were all over the puck, deflecting most of
the shots the Islanders made. New York
was only able to make 26 shots on goal,
as compared to New Jersey’s 42. The
Islanders only looked decent in the sec-
ond period. Bryan Smolinski did what
few have been able to do this season
when he scored on a power play at 1:58
of the second. However, the Isles’
strength ended with the period, and the
Devils scored two more goals in the third
to decisively beat the Islanders 4-1.
In other NHL action, the NY Rangers
came up big against the Atlantic Divi-
sion leading Flyers on February 2. only
to loose to Tallus and the Bruins on the
third. However, rookie sensation
Viladamir Vorobiev had a picturesque
goal against Boston when he rebounded a
shoot from Leech, bringing the score to
its final 3-2. Vorobiev has four goals and
five assists in only seven games in the
NHL. For those who. say the Rangers
have no good rookie prospects, Vorobiev
is the silencer.

Great Danes battling for playoff position in NECC
By THoMAsS MCMAHON
Managing Editor
It’s the classic story, a team
begins the seasons on a roll
because their coach is one of the
best and they’re well prepared,
but then struggles as they enter
into a tough conference sched-
ule. Now the only question is,
can the Great Danes can finish
strong in time for a post-season
run?
Last Saturday the Albany
men’s basketball team earned an
important New England Colle-
giate Conference win on the road
against Sacred Heart. The Great
Danes were hot in the early
going, and shot 48% from the
field in the first half. However,
Sacred Heart shot 12-13 from
the foul line and Albany’s lead
was only three at the half.
In the second half, Sacred
Heart battled back and tied the
score at 60 with less than six
minutes to go. The Great Dane
responded with a 7-0 run that
began with a four point play for
freshman guard Todd Cetnar.
Sacred Heart had one last spurt
in them as they cut the Albany
lead to 74-72 late in the game,
Covering University at Albany sports since 1916
but four free throws in the final
19 seconds by
sealed the victory for the Great
Danes.
Cetnar led Albany with 18
points, 13 of which came in the
first half. Tom McGoldrick
added 17 points, and Andre
Ducan chipped in with. 14 and a
team high nine rebounds. The
win improved the Great Danes to
14-7 overall and 7-6 in the
NECC. The victory was also
head coach Richard “Doc”
Sauers’ 699th in his career.

ball inside to Duncan, and that’s

what we wanted to do”, Sauers
also added “Cetnar had a great
first half, and while he showed
inexperience at times he hit
some big shots”.
For his efforts last week,
McGolrick earned NECC Player
of the Week honors. The junior
forward averaged 17.5 points,
4.5 rebounds, and 3 assists per
game as the Great Danes went
2-0 during the week.

brought his team to New Hap-
shire College to face the ninth
ranked team in Division II. Some
other.coaches who have reached
this momentous mark are Ken-
tucky’s Adolph Rupp and North
Carolina’s Dean Smith.
This would not be the night for
coach Sauers as Albany fell by a
score of 84-71. New Hampshire
jumped out to an early 27-7 lead
and never looked back. The
Penmen held a 41—20 advantage
at the half and the result was
never in doubt. The Great Danes
shot only 37% from the floor,
compared to 48.4% for New
Hampshire.
Albany was led by Jahnel who
scored 14 points, and Duncan
who added twelve points and

The Albany River Rats broke out of
their December hibernatlon recently by
winning seven out of thelr last ten games.
The strong play came at just the right
time, because the River Rats were in dan-
ger of falllng out of the Empire State
Division race. The Rats suffered an
uncharacteristic month of December in
which they won only three of twelve
games. After losing five out of six games
from December 26 to January 4, the
Albany offense started clicklng and the
much-heralded defense returned to the
form of the past two seasons.

The Knickerbocker Arena became the
Pepsi Arena. However, the Rats continue
to play strong on home ice, no matter
what name is displayed on the sign out-
side the building.
This past weekend, the Rate piled on
the pressure, skatIng circles around the
defenses of their two opponents, the St.
John’s Maple Leafs and the Syracuse
Crunch. These two games were preceded
by a 8-2 drubbing of the Worcester Ice
Cats. The Ice Cats should have known
they were in trouble when Patrik Elias
scored just nine seconds into the game.
Bobby House recorded a hat trick, while
Rob Pattison scored twice and added an
assist as the Rats tied.a season high for
goals in one game.
On Friday, January 31, the Maple Leafs
came to the Pepsi Arena. The Rats
promptly greeted St. John’s goalie Don
Beaupre with goals on three of their first
four shots. Krzysztof Oliwa scored twice
while also earning an assist on Bobby
House’s 13th goal of the season as the
Rats led 3-1 after one period. Albany
struggled a bit in the second period, giv-
ing up two goals to allow the Leafs to tie
the game at three, but Bryan Helmer’s
sixth goal of the season, a blast from the
blue line, gave the Rats a 4-3 lead heading
into the third period. In the third period,
the Leafs once again tied the score when
Brandon Convery skated across the slot
and wristed a shot past Peter Sidorkiewicz
while on the power play at 3:34. Howev-
er, Albany remembered that they were on
minutes of the period. Steve Brule’s
wraparound attempt deflected right to
Eric Bertrand, who slid the puck past
backup goalie Jason Saal at 5:33. Oliwa
‘flipped a backhand shot past Saal at 13:30
to complete a hat trick. Rookie Jeff
Williams tipped Zdenek Skorepa’s wrist
shot into the net with just 36 seconds left
to end the scoring. Rats netminder Peter
Sidorkiewicz made 14 saves to preserve
the Rats 7-4 win.
On Saturday, February 1, Albany
attacked the Crunch from the opening
faceoff. The River Rats unloaded 13 first
period shots as Helmer (7th), Elias (12th),
and Brule (16th) all scored.to give Albany
a 3-0 lead. In the second period, Brule
picked up a loose puck off a scramble in
front, at while the Rats were on a power
play, and tossed it past Crunch goalie
Mike Fountain for his team leadlng 17th
goal of the season. Rob Pattison gave the
8,800 fans in attendance something to
cheer for when he converted a breakaway
goal at 11:19 to give the River Rats an
insurmountable 5-0 lead. Brian Loney got
the Crunch on the board just one minute
later while on the power play, but Albany
took the 5-1 lead into the third period.
Another Crunch power play early in the
third yielded another goal for Syracuse,
but Rats goalie Rich Shulmistra slammed
the door, allowing no more goals to get
past him. Shulmistra made 32 saves in
just his second start of the season to pre-
serve the 5-2 Albany victory. Shulmistra
home ice, in front of their loyal fans, and had only played in 6 of 44 River Rat
exploded for three goals in the last 14 games up to this point.
