NCAA rejects Albany

By Kristine Sauer
SPORTS EDITOR

The Albany State football team’s inability to control
their own destiny turned out to be the fatal blow to their
dreams of an NCAA playoff berth.

Despite winning their last four games, including a 15-0
blanking of 11th ranked Wagner College on Staten Island
on Saturday, the NCAA Committee predictably gave
away the four eastern playoff bids solely on the basis of
season records to undefeated Union, 9-1 Ithaca, 9-1
Montclair State and 10-1 Western Connecticut.

Instead of facing one of these teams, the Danes travel
to New Hampshire this weekend for the one-shot ECAC
tournament, where they are pitted against Plymouth
State, another 8-2 team.

“IE you give it (NCAA bid) to W. Connecticut, you
don’t have to explain anything," said senior John Don-
nelly. to us, there’s a lot of explaining. 1
guess they didn’t want to explain.”

After the loss to Cortland, the Danes knew they had to
win their next four games, then pray that one of the teams
with one loss would be upset. When that didn’t happen,
the Danes went into last week hoping that all of their ifs
would turn into realities,

The plan outlined four things, three of which had to
happen for the Danes to get their bid.

First of all, Albany had to knock 8&1 Wagner out of the
playoff picture, which they did despite having to go up
against the 11th ranked team under rainy conditions.
Ithaca had to beat Kings Point, which they did, ensuring
them a spot in the NCAAs and dropping the Mariners to
8:2. Then Albany needed Glassboro to upset Montclair
State or Hofstra to upset Western Connecticut. That's

where Albany’s chances fell to pieces.

Montclair held onto its playoff slot by narrowly
beating Glassboro by one point. In the game’s final
seconds, a Glassboro player dropped the ball on the two-
point conversion that would have won the game. In Dan-
bury, Western Connecticut held off Hofstra in a 17-12
victory.

“We found out that Western Connecticut won on the
ride home," said quarterback Mike Milano. “Still, we
were hoping that somehow we'd get it; I guess you can't
do that."

“We were just hoping that they'd look at the weight of
the schedule,”* said junior Wayne Anderson, “I guess we
were waiting for a miracle,"

Tironi narrowly defeating Katz, 1-0,

Much to the delight of the Albany
State wrestling team, head coach Joe
DeMeo was proved wrong last
Saturday.

Prior to Saturday's Great Dane
Classic, DeMeo had predicted that te
Danes would finish fifth, due to
their lack of returning champions.

As it turned out, however, the
Danes didn’t need them, for after
Dane junior Chris Tironi edged out
teammate Ivan Katz for the
heavyweight title, it was announced
that the Dane grapplers had won the
Classic for the second consecutive

captain Jim Fox. “1 didn’t know if

Boston University was tough as
they sent, according to DeMeo, their
strongest team ever, scoring 46
points to finish fourth out of the 22
teams. Syracuse, scoring 54 points
was third, Springfield was second
with 78, and Albany first, with 85.

“During the finals 1 knew that
we'd won it," said DeMeo. “I was
shocked, I thought we could be third
or fourth, This was the strongest
Great Dane ever."

Albany qualified wrestlers in three
of the final matches, Fox taking se-
cond to Springfield's Kevin
Castugnola in the 150 Ib, class,
junior transfer Jake Sabo winning

at heavyweight,

In addition, junior co-captains
Shawn Sheldon and John Balog
placed third at 118 and 142, respec-
tively, and senior co-captain Marty
Pidell finished fourth at 177,

“What really won the match for
us was the way the guys performed in
their wrestle-backs,”” said DeMeo.
“Shawn and John both lost heart-
breakers in the semis, and then they
showed real character in finishing
where they did."

Bad news from
Danbury kills

Danes’ chances

‘Staten Island
Albany State football coach Bob Ford leaned against
the concrete wall outside the Wagner College’s visiting
lockerroom. His team had just pulled out a gutsy 15-0
victory over the 11th ranked schoo! in the country. But
Coach Ford appeared glum.

In Danbury, Western Connecticut
was beating Hofstra. Sports

Ford spoke quietly to reporters
about his team's marvelous defensive Column
performance. He talked about the
rain, the mud and how sometimes the
best team doesn’t always win in sloppy conditions. He
praised Wagner's star freshman running back Terry
Underwood, who someday might wind up on a Divsion
I team. But his answers were brief, his voice was
somber. Not once did he smile,

In Danbury, Western Connecticut was beating
Hofstra.

Like most coaches, Ford is usually a chatterbox after
a Danes victory. After beating a good team, a reporter
can sit back and let Ford do most of the talking, Few
questions are required. Even after a tough loss, the
amiable Ford tries his best not to show his personal
anguish. The Danes had just beaten a very good team
Saturday. At a time when he should've been
celebrating, Ford's spirits were at a low.

In Danbury, Western Connecticut was beating
Hofstra.

Ford’s emotions were understandable. He woke up
on Saturday morning and read in the newspaper that
Montclair State had hung on to a one point victory Fri
day night because a Glassboro State player dropped a
pass on a last-second two-point conversion. He looked
out his hotel window only to see rain droplets blocking

He knew that three things had to happen for his
Danes to clinch a NCAA playoff berth, His team had
to beat Wagner in the mud; the Danes’ arch-rival,
Ithaca, had to topple Kings Point; Hofst
three straight, had to come through against Western
Connecticut.

In Danbury, Western Connecticut was beating
Hofstra.

The word that Ithaca had defeated Kings Point,
20-15, reached the Danes’ dressing quarters. The
players seemed in a festive mood, unknowing of the
situation in Danbury. One player shouted that Albany
was going all the way. Another yelled to break out the
champagne, A bottle of champagne was opened, but
most of the players drank beer.

In Danbury, Western Connecticut was beating
Hofstra.

Some players interviewed thought that Albany
would get the berth no matter what happened in Con-
necticut. Other players were more realistic, understan-
ding that past history has shown the best teams are not
always selected, only the ones with the best records.
The strength of a team's schedule is usually not con-
sidered. It didn't matter to the committee that 4-5
Hofstra was Western Connecticut's toughest foe of the
year.

In Danbury, Western Conneticut was beating
Hofstra, 17-12. Ten minutes remained and Hofstra had
a first down on the Western Connecticut 19-yard line.
Quarterback Alan Squeri threw three incomplete
passes. On fourth down, he connected with James
Moore for a little more than nine yards. There was a
measurement, but the ball was spotted a foot short of
the first down marker. Western Connecticut took
possession.

Upstairs in the alumni room, Wagner coach and
NCAA committee member Walt Hameline addressed
the Wagner alumni association called the ‘Touchdown
Club’. He told the members that Wagner will not be
going to the NCAA playoffs, but instead will be
selected for an ECAC bid.

He announced that the NCAA Eastern playoff teams
will probably be Union, Ithaca, Montclair State and
either Albany State or Western Connecticut depending
if Western Connecticut won today. A voice from the

Reagan meets Soviet leader Gorbachev earlier this week

“We're at least heading in the right direction"’

Pres. sums up Geneva parley

Washington, D.C.
(AP) President Reag.n, back home from the Geneva
summit, told a joint session of Congress Thursday night
he had a ‘constructive meeting” with Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev and that together the two made a
“measure of progress” on arms control.

But the President said, “I can’t claim we had a meeting
of the minds” generally, and his description of the arms
understandings included only the modest provisions car-
ried in a joint statement issued from Geneva.

In his 20-minute speech, the president also listed several
agreements to emerge from the talks:

—A new agreement for cultural exchanges bet ven
the United States and the Soviet Union, involving aitists,
students, teachers and others.

—A decision to establish a new Soviet consulate in
New York and a new American facility in Kiev. This will
give the United States a permanent presence in the
Ukraine for the first time in decades, Reagan said.

—An accord, together with Japan, on a new Pacific
air safety agreement. ‘What happened before must never

be allowed to happen again," Reagan said in reference to
a Korean Air Lines jet shot down by the Soviets in 1983.

—He said he looks forward to welcoming Gorbachev
tO the United States in 1986, and said he has accepted an
invitation to Moscow for the following year.

“While we still have a long way to go, we're at least

heading in the right direction,"” Reagan told the national-
ly televised session. ‘I gained a better perspective; 1 feel
he did too."
. Back home after the first U.S.-Soviet summit meeting
in six years, Reagan declared that he, as well as everyone,
was “impatient for results" in the drive to improve suner-
power relations. But he quickly cautioned that ‘‘goods: ii
and good hopes do not always yield lasting results. Quick
fixes don’t fix big problems.””

e don’t want a phony:peace or a frail peace," the
President said. “We did not go in pursuit of some kind of
illusory detente. We can’t be satisfied with cosmetic im-
provements that won't stand the test of time, We want

Teal peace.”” ie

Fuller Rd. dorms

part of expansion
envisioned in ’64

By Jim Thompson
STAPF WRITER

SUNYA in a few years will look a little different as
the campus begins expanding to land purchased years
ago abyve Fuller Road, A. 6 million dollar apartment-
style dormitories. and accompanying road im-
provements are to be the first step of the makeover.

Widening and repaving of the access road to Fuller
Road will be accompanied by new sidewalks and a
modern lighting system, said Dennis Stevens, assistant
vice president for plant facilities.

“After this road is completed it will look just like
Perimeter Road on campus,"’ he said. ‘*The lights that
will be installed will make this area of new housing the
safest and best lit, The whole campus is undergoing an
upgrading of the lighting system.”

Stevens said the land to be developed was purchased
in 1964 to be used to expand the campus, along with
the land the main campus was built on,

“Universities are around for a longer time than you
and I, and the need for expansion was thought out
beforehand during the original design of this college.
Now we are simply using it for the purpose it was
bought,” said Stevens.

this new construction will !ook nothing like the
dorms we have now — they will be of an apartment
style. This construction should be completed by the fall
‘of 1987,"” Stevens said,

“Right now we are in the preliminary stages and
have no blueprints as of yet,”’ he said. “The decision of
choosing a contractor has not been discussed since the
construction is so far off. The problems of student ac-
cess and the possible re-routing of buses is not yet
under consideration," said Stevens.

‘Let It Be’ is number one with WCDB listeners

By James F. O'Sullivan
NewS EDITOR

The Beatles topped the charts in
WCDB-91FM’s first-ever listeners survey
broadcast Thursday night, taking number
‘one with “Let It Be.”

About 400 ballots were cast and over
2,000 songs were nominated, according to
WCDB DJ Greg Rothschild.

The survey “‘coyers just about every
field of music there is . he countdown
is as diverse as WCDB is,”” said DJ Chris
Clarke, who also helped organize the

event.
“It’s a mixture of new wave, hardcore,

60's music, 70's music, 80's music -
everything,” added Rothschild.

Although WCDB has broadcast its
“Top 50" in the past, said Rothschild, the
“Top 91 Countdown" is unique because it
is based on a listener's poll rather than the
station's playlist.

“We were a little afraid of what it was
going to come out like, [but} it’s such a

fantastic cross-section of the music we
play,” he said,

Both Clarke and Rothschild said there
was a great deal of interest In the survey
and that many people tuned in Thursday
night’s seven hour and 25 minute show,

“Between 40 and 60 people call every

time we have a giveaway," said Clarke.
Rothschild said the figure was as much as
eight times the number of responses receiv-
ed on a regularly scheduled broadcast,

In addition to the volume of responses,
said Rothschild, the countdown apparent-
ly helped WCDB reach out to audiences
who don't regularly tune in. “We have a

lot of winners with 442 numbers - it's
rare,” he said, explaining that most of the
station's audience tends to live downtown,

DJs Olga Colletti, Rob Isbitts, and An-
dy Skibins also worked during the show,
said Rothschild, noting that it took eight
hours to count the ballots,

“Let It Be" received twice as many
votes as the number two song, Don
MacLean's ‘‘American Pie,'? said
Rothschild, who declined to give exact
numbers.

As for other groups, U2 had the most
songs (6), including “I Will Follow” and
“Pride”, in the top ten. Both the Beatles
and the Who had two songs in the top 15,

And will the Countdown increase
listenership? "Who can say definitely? 1
hope so,"" said Rothschild,

“It's what the listeners want to hear and
I think it’s working," added Clarke.

Bombers sentenced

Auckland, New Zealand
(AP) The nation’s highest judge sentenced
two French secret agents to 10 years in
prison Friday for manslaughter in the
bombing of the Greenpeace flagship,
Rainbow Warrior. He said the punish-
ment was meant to deter terrorism.

Maj. Alain Nafrart, 35, and Capt.
Dominique Prieur, 36, also received seven
years each for willful damage to the ship,
which was blownupand sunk in
Auckland Harbor on July 10.

“The courts must make it plain that
persons coming into this country cannot
expect a short holiday at the expense of
the government and return home as
heroes," said Sir Roland Davison, chief
justice of the Auckland High Court,

The Rainbow Warrior was sunk by
mines and a Greenpeace photographer,
Fernando Pereira of the Netherlands, was
killed in the blast. Greenpeace had sent

Juan Castillo, a spokesman for Presi-

had died in the Nov. 13 disaster, and
8,000-9,000 of them were under 16. But
Health Minister Rafael Zubiria said earlier
this week the figure was 25,000 and has
not updated it since.

Mayor Joel Hartman of Mariquita, ap-

evacuation drill Wednesday night, said the
order to leave the town and march into the
hills came only hours after 15,000 people

“Now they have returned to the moun-

Mandela may be freed

Johannesburg, South Africa
(AP) Winnie Mandela said Thursday that
the government had approved the request
of her jailed husband to see his lawyers,
and rumors persisted that authorities were
about to free the prominent black leader.

Mrs. Mandela said in Cape Town that
she took the speculation seriously because
of its “unprecedented intensity.”

“If it was true, | would be overjoyed,”
she told reporters, President P.W. Botha’s
office first said that ‘no decision has been

a statement denying his release was immi-

the statement said.

Botha offered last summer to release

a prostate gland operation on Nov. 3.

Kate rips Florida

Panama City, Florida
(AP) Hurricane Kate charged ashor
the Florida Panhandle with 100 mile per
hour winds Thursday, the first November
hurricane to make landfall in half a cen-
tury, as more than 100,000 people fled for
the fourth time in as many months,

The hurricane spawned tornadoes that
ripped the roofs off buildings and tore
down power lines in the towns of Port St
Joe and Mexico Beach. Roads were block-
ed by flood waters or toppled trees, and
emergency officials warned residents to
stay put in evacuation shelters for the
night.

Kate's eye, which was 20 miles
diameter, hit land at 5 p.m., said Dr. Neil
Frank, Director of the National Hurricane
Center in Coral Gables,

Tornadoes also touched down in
Panama City and in neighboring Calhoun
County, tearing down power lines and
trees. High winds ripped part of the roof
off a school being used as a shelter in
nearby Callaway, but no injuries were

reported.

Regan released an audit of the Utica
Campus Thursday and said that ‘a distur-

‘Time and again, NY auditors find

Civil Rights Act of 1985 pushed by SA, SASU

By David Spalding
STAPF WRITER

SUNYA’s Student Association and the
Student Association of the State Universi-
ty (SASU) have teamed up to lobby Con-
gress for the passage of the Civil Right
Restoration Act of 1985,

Petition drives will be conducted by the
groups on quad dinner lines November
24-26 to increase student awareness on the
issue, said Camille Danzi, Assistant Coor-
dinator for Women’s Issues for SA’s
Minority Affairs Office.

‘An extensive poster campaign is also be-
ing planned and Resident Assistants will
be asked to inform their sections about the
issue, she said.

‘The 1985 Restoration Act has been held
up in two House of Representatives sub-
committees by pro-life lobbyists who want
anti-abortion riders attached to the
amendment.

The riders would allow discrimination
against women students and faculty
members who have had abortions. It
would also allow college administrators to
remove abortion coverage from school-
sponsored health insurance, said SA
Minority Affairs Coordinator Paco
Duarte.

The Restoration Act is intended to re-

emphasize the original intent of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, which was put in ques-

ves

“If you allow
something like this
[the anti-abortion
riders] to go, you

start a bad precedent.

In the future you

could see more

legislation that
restricts women’s

rights.’’

—Paco Duarte

Ton by the Supreme Court's Grove City v.
Bell (1984) decision.

‘The Supreme Court decision reinter-
preted the Equity in Education Amend-
ments of 1972 (Title LX) which mandated
that all federally funded institutions can-
not discriminate against women,
minorities, the handicapped, and the

‘elderly.

In the Grove City decision, discrimina-
tion restrictions were interpreted to apply
to only individual programs that receive
federal funding rather than the institution
as a whole.

“The decision had ramifications for a
lot of other specific civil rights laws that

had similar wording to Title IX," said
Alyson Reed, a SASU Women’s Caucus
intern participating said in the statewide
SASU campaign to lobby for the
Reauthorization Act.

“It’s important that the original intent
of the Civil Rights Act is interpreted as it
was originally meant to be. A narrow in-
terpretation of this legislation could set
narrow re-interpretations of other civil
rights acts,” said Danzi,

Duarte said, ‘If you allow something
like this (the anti-abortion riders) to go,
you start a bad precedent. In the future
you could see more legislation that restricts
women’s rights.””

According to Duarte, if the anti-
abortion riders are passed, health services
for college women would be hurt. If this
form of discrimination were to happen,
birth control and gynecological services
might be the next step to go, said Duarte.

Next semester, with the continued help
of the Feminist Alliance, the lobbying
campaign on campus will be stepped up,
said Danzi.

testing the Supreme Court decision on Ti-

Health care, dorms top student complaint list

By Colleen Destaurier
STAPPWRITER

Students at a one hour public hearing during Tuesday’s
State University Board of Trustees meeting complained
about the self-sufficiency of dormitories, quality of
health care services, and the public hearings themselves.

Only four of the nine appointed trustees attended the
hearing, which was held after a meeting that all trustees
were present for. Including moderator Edgar A. Sand-
‘man, trustees present were Judy L. Duken, Van Johnson,
and Darwin R. Wales.

‘The Board’s policy of increasing dorm rents to cover all
costs of student, on-campus housing drew fire from
Eileen Dyller, a SUNY Binghamton student.

She said it is likely to increase rents off-campus, and
violates a tenant’s right to a lease,

First year students ordered to live on campus are most
strongly affected, she said. ‘If we are in a situation where
a campus has that kind of power, then students need the
power of any other tenant."”

Dyller said, ‘I hate to think that a campus such as
Stony Brook, which is an expensive community, where
moving off campus is next to impossible, is going to suf-
fer so that students up north can benefit. That's not the
goal of SUNY.”

Allison Reed of Binghamton complained about the

quality of campus health service. ‘“The trustees need to
establish some form of minimum requirement to regulate
and insure adequate health care facilities on each SUNY
campus. This problem becomes a basic health issue," she
sai

SUNY has a special responsibiity to provide adequate
care for the students they recruit to attend the universi-
ty,” Reed said. ‘The state has a social responsibility to
provide the university a charter with the proper amount
of funds to ensure this

“If we are ever to truly improve the quality of student
life, the provision of basic health care services as an issue
must be reversed,”” she said.

Debbie Meisel of Binghamton spoke out against the
public hearings, ‘I feel they are not accessible but exclu-

onary because of the times and places in which they oc-

‘evidence that student par-
ticipation is not encouraged is obvious from the inade-
quate publicity of the hearing.”

Meisel complained that many of the hearings are
scheduled during or extremely close to students’ vaca-
tions, mid-terms, or final examinations. She cited the
hearings of November 29, 1984 - held during Thanksgiv-

May 8, 1984 and December 9, 1983 - both held during
finals week; and April 23, 1982 - held during spring
recess.

Because many students do not have time to travel to far
away places, the sites of these hearings are also an impor-
tant issue, she said. “If more of the open hearings were
held . . . at convenient locations, | feel certain that more
students would attend."

Only about 10 people attended the hearing.

Meisel also objected to the trustees’ poor attendance at
the hearing, ‘It started out that there were ten trustees
this morning. 1 strongly ask you [the trustees} to urge
your colleagues not to leave the next time there’s an open
hearing.”

In response to the complaints, Dr. Jerome Komisar
Executive Vice Chancellor, said each student “touched
upon a topic that had come up before the board and is of
interest to the board.

He said the trustees are examining dorm problems, and
their main concern is to find a solution that would ‘best
allow the university to maintain the lowest possible cost."”

Komisar said the problem of adequate health care
facilities, particularly during the time of financial stress,
is a topic the board has also taken an interest in. “The
question became one of not the provision of services by
the state university necessarily, but the availability of ser-
vices to the students at all the locations."* Qo

‘Students showed that they could learn to
love coffee as much as alcohol when an at-
tempt by Student Association and Univer-
sity Auxiliary Services to provide a social
alternative to drinking through a new cof-
fee bar proved successful.

“I Love Coffee Week,” held November
18 to 21 in the Rathskellar, provided
students with the opportunity to taste
various types of brewed coffee and also the
chance to win a free trip to Fort Lauder-
dale over Spring Break.

Lester Hynes, Director of Cash Sales,
said that a little over a year ago, in the ad-
vent of the 21 drinking age, there was a
need for a way for students to socialize
without alcohol.

Last November, there was a one-day
Coffee Day in the Rat, where about
1,200-1,300 students came and sampled
the SUNY blend coffee, a mixture of Mex-
ican Alturas and Brazilian Santos Beans, It
was “very well received,"” said Hynes.

‘Alcoholic beverages will still be served at
the Rat after December 1, when the drink-
ing age is raised, but "because the majori-

ty of students on campus won't be able to
drink, we are coming up with alternatives.
There will be many changes at the Rat
said Betty Ginzburg, SA Director of Stu-
dent Programming.

“We want an area where students can
come down and have a place to socialize,"
said Hynes, adding that there is ‘full sup-
port for the coffee bar. I'll be very happy
to see so many students come down and
socialize and to try the coffees. That's
what's it all about — students socializing
and programming without alcohol.

A contest to come up with the best name
for the coffee bar.was also held this week
and the winner will receive the Fort
Lauderdale trip.

‘The free trip is an interest sparker,"
said Ginzburg, adding it is an “entirely
promotional idea." Getting students in-
volved in the naming of the coffee bar is a
“way to spark enthusiasm,” she said.

Hynes said the naming of the bar would
help there be an identification with the
area, Cakes will be served along with the
coffee, and there is the possibility that it
could expand into a gourmet shop, he
added.

troduced during July. “It was very suc-
cessful and it continued,"? said Hynes.

Ginzburg said the iced coffees have been
‘selling very, very well,”’ adding that there
will be “enough support for a full coffee
bar” because “at the coffee bar, there
won't be just one kind of coffee. There
will be a great variety of coffees being
sold, UAS put a lot of time into this and
feels it will be a success."”

Hynes said that some of the types of cof-,

fee to be sold are Mocha Java, SUNY
Blend, a combination of Mexican Altura
and Brazilian Santos beans, and Swiss
Chocolate Almond,

SA did not contribute any money
toward the coffee bar, though they did
help out considerably. Installation of the
equipment for the coffee bar was funded
by the Coffee Development Group and
University Auxiliary Services will pay a
nominal yearly rental fee for the equip-
ment, said Hynes.

UAS contributed approximately
‘*$3-4,000 in remodeling the area and for
the promotion," said Hynes.

Undergrad colloquium speaks out on language

By Bette Dzamba
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

‘The first undergraduate colloquium ever
to be held at this university was presented
Tuesday by students in the Linguistics
department.

About 25 people attended the collo-
quium, which was held in the Humanities
Lounge.

Lisa Feerick, one of the organizers of
the event, said that the idea of the colld-
quium arose from a group of students
representing departments such as
Linguistics, Spanish, and Anthropology.
“It was a broad group to talk about
language," she said,

“The colloquium is the first
undergraduate research forum," said
Feerick.

‘The first speaker, Anne-Marie Maestri,
delivered a paper entitled ‘Several Dif-

ferences in Descriptive Color Naming.”
Maestri conducted the research for her
paper on 20 subjects. Half of the subjects
were male and the other half were female,
The subjects were asked to describe a pi
ture of the character Opus from the comic
strip “Bloom County."

Maestri found that “women make more
precise determinations in naming colors
than do men.” The 10 women named 221
color names to the men’s 151. Nine men,
as opposed to only two women, needed to
be prompted to include colors in their
descriptions,

Maestri noted that men “tended to be
more geometric in their descriptions. They
spoke of the shapes present rather than the
colors."

One male subject said, “I think in terms
of lines, shapes, and angles. Not in color.””

Maestri said that women focused on the

physical aspects of Opus, particularly his
nose. Men tended to describe the penguin’s
emotional state.

The second speaker, Diane Lang,
delivered her review paper of Susan F.
Schmerling’s ‘‘Subjectless Sentences and
the Notion of Surface Structure."*

Lang noted that sentences which are in-
tended for spoken English only do not
need to have a subject.

She said ‘Tastes like almonds’ ‘Smells,
like apple pie’, and ‘Feels like silk’,”” were
examples of subjectless sentences. ‘In
these sentences, there is little ambiguity.
The subject is obvious,"” said Lang.

Lang added, ‘‘sentences with perception
verbs lend themselves to being subjectives
while those with the verb ‘to be’ such as
‘Am a doctor’ do not."

The third speaker, Matthew Feeney,
spoke about the jargon used in
Mathematics. “The purpose of my study
was to observe mathematical lexicon items
used in College Algebra. Did they serve a
real purpose or were they merely exclu-
sionary?” said Feeney.

Feeney concluded that terms such as
“Natural log of A”, ‘negative power”,

ial” were not pretentious
“The standard lexicon
ideas of

but necessary.
would not express the
mathematics,"* he said.

“Is it because we have to use special lex-
ical items that people are afraid of math?”*
questioned Feeney.

‘The final speakers, Andrea Karsch and
Michael Shikora, spoke on ‘The Syntax
and Semantics of Adjectives with ‘It” Sub-
jects and Infinitival Complements in
English.”

In their talk they distinguished between
three types of adjectives based on their use
in a sentence.

“It was important for students to be
able to practice delivering papers in front
of their peers and faculty members that
they knew,” said Feerick.

Women make more precise color deter-
minations than men, according to

h involving “Bloom County” -

resi
comic strip character Opus.

“I think it was very successful,” she
said. “I hope it will serve as a model for
students arid that other departments will
follow suit,”” added Feerick.

According to Feerick, ‘We will carry on
as long as there are other students to
follow through. We already have submis-
sions for next semester. There is plenty of
untapped research around.”

Frank commented, ‘It was very good. I
found it interesting to hear the papers. The
students did a really good job of writing up
papers for delivery.”*

“It was really exciting for stud-uts to
take initiative, I found that heartening,”
said Frank. fa]

Wasserman wins vice chair post

By Angelina Wang
STAPF WRITER

Following last week's
resignation of Vice Chair Liz
Chestnut, Central Council held
an election Wednesday night to
fill the position.

A total of four ballots was
needed -before Council reached
the mandatory two-thirds concen-
sus and elected Larry Wasserman
as the new Vice Chair.

Because of Council’s difficulty
jin reaching a concensus, Wasser-
man and the other nominees,
Michael J. Berman and Wally
Roberts, were asked a series of
questions about their candidacy.

Phil Botwinick, State Quad
representative, asked “What kind
of committment (the nominees)
were willing to give?””

“I would like to devote most of
my time to student government,"
said Wasserman. He added that
even if he had responsibilities to
another group he would forego
them for his position in student
government. “I do want to get in-
volved and I do care,"” he said.

“+I will give 110 percent effort,
be there when people have a ques-
tion, and let people know exactly

said Roberts.

‘My committment to this in-
stitution can be seen by my
change in feelings towards SA,’
said Berman. He explained his
apathy a year ago and how he
would like to see more involve-
ment among ‘students. ‘That's
the motivation that I bring to the
job,” he said.

what are your qualifications?”

Berman said, “To assist Bill
(McCann) with bookkeeping and
clerical work. I know I have to let
the job grow."”

Wasserman viewed the Vice
Chair as a liaison between the
Chair and the committees (of
Central Council). “The Vice
Chair is an overseer of these com-

s well as an advisor to the

He said his activities in
University Action for the Disabl-
ed was “practical experience of
getting people organized to fight
for what they believe in."

When the second ballot still
gave no winner, Council Chair
Bill McCann gave his expecta
tions of the position of Vice
Chair. He said the person should
have a working relationship with
the Chair. ‘Vice Chair is a posi
tion that can really expand," he
said.

Chestnut said she resigned
because of the many hours a week
required of her as Finance Com-
mittee Chair and because of the
long weekly Central Council
meetings.

Before coming to SUNYA,
Martin worked in various salons.
She said that being at a University

people here from all the world

The Barber Shop has had a
mostly male clientele in the past,
but since Martin’s arrival, ‘we've
been getting more girls,” she said,
adding that “I think most girls
aren’t aware that we do both
{men’s and women’s hair].””

As for the students who visit

Martin comes to SUNYA with
considerable experience. She has
a license from both a barber
school and a beauticial scho
and has worked at the Turnpike
Barber Shop. “I still work there
‘on Saturdays,’* she said.

Although licensed to do other
things than just haircuts, Martin
said that perms and sets cannot be

Stein eyes summit aftershocks

By Rob Berke

‘Star~Wars’ and the Reagan-
Gorbachev summit will have great
effects on future relations bet-
ween the superpowers, according
to Dr. Peter Stein, a physicist at
Cornell University.

The most important thing that
the summit could bring about is
that “‘they [the superpowers] have
to exhibit self-control to keep the
other 200 some countries from ac-
quiring nuclear power,” Stein
said.

“The real problem is that no
one ever forgets how to build a
nuclear weapon .... the number
of countries with nuclear weapons
will not go down,” Stein said,

The important thing is to keep
countries that do not already
possess nuclear technology from
gaining it, Stein said. The major
threat now comes from unstable
countries, such as Liberia, who
have access to nuclear weapons,
he said.

While the Soviets possess more
than three times the amount of
nuclear arms needed to destroy
the United States, they would
probably not risk a nuclear attack
on the United States at this time,
said Stein. However, 20 years
down the road the Soviets may
not be stable or rational, he said.

‘Star Wars’ however, is not a
viable defense system for the
United States, said Stein,

The logic of the supporters of
“Star Wars’ is that ‘once we show
that we can destroy 90 percent of
their missiles, they will destroy 90
percent of their missiles,” said
Stein, This logic is exactly con-
trary to what would actually hap-
pen, arms escalation instead of
limitation would occur, he

President Reagan's plan for
nuclear defense consists of three
parts; terminal defense, mid-
course defense, and boost phase
defense. The missile is in its boost

phase for just about three minutes
while it gains the speed to leave
the earth's atmosphere. “The
whole thing rises or falls on a
boost phase defense,” said Stein,
The boost phase is the best time

to destroy the missile because of
it’s slow velocity and because all
warheads are contained in the
‘rocket which is a large and
delicate target. “The missile in
the boost stage has all its eggs in

of these are very effective, Stein
said, but, he added that the logic
was that none of the defenses
could work on their own. It’s
hoped that together they might be
effective, he said.

The terminal phase of the in-
coming warheads is the phase just
before they explode. Scientists
have argued that a defense at this
stage could be effective in protec-
ting our missiles, but not our
cities, Stein said, A terminal

ee
“No one ever forgets how to build
a nuclear weapon.’’

—Dr. Peter Stein

The problem, however, is that
during this phase, the missile
would still be in Russian territory,
he said. The idea behind: ‘Star
Wars’ would be to put satellites in
orbit such that there would
always be a satellite over Russia,
“but instead of HBO [Home Box
Office}, we put tasers in them,"*
said Stein,

The problem with this plan is
that we would have to put 300-400
satellites in orbit, and the enemy
would only have to disable one in
order to put a hole in the shield,
said Stein, The satellites would be
sitting ducks, he said. “It would
be easier to shoot down the SDI
[‘Star Wars’ satellites) than it is to
have the space shields shoot down
the missiles.””

Even if the U.S. was able to
build this system, the Soviets are
only three years behind,
technologically, and will be work-
ing on ways to get through the
system concurrently with this
country's development of the
system, said Stein. The French are
already working on it, he said.

The entire defense plan also in-
cludes a terminal phase defense
and a midcourse defense. Neither

defense could deal with about 100
missiles, but not a whole attack,
he said,

There are also a number of pro-
blems with the midcourse phase
defense, said Stein. First, the
missiles. would be moving at
“something like 15-20,000 miles
per hour, and will have (frac-
tionated),”” or separated, into its
separate warheads, he said,

The other major problem with
defense in this phase is that dum-
my missiles made of mylar can be
sent up along with the real ones,
which would be totally in-
distinguishable from the real
missiles in outer space.

‘There are other ways to deliver
nuclear warheads besides ICBM’s
linter-continental ballistic
missiles}, such as the cruise
missile, which the Soviets could
launch very close to our borders if
they felt they had to, said Stein.

Robert L, Hoffman, the
namesake of the lecture series,
was a professor at SUNYA who
died last year. He was dedicated
to the pursuit of peace and the
Hoffman Memorial Fund for
Peace was set up in his honor. 0

Campus smoking areas considered sufficient

By Rene Babich
STAFF WRITER

Although many new anti-
smoking regulations have been
implemented by local govern-
ments across the country,
students and faculty at SUNYA
seem to believe that current
university restrictions are
sufficient,

Areas on campus that permit
smoking in certain areas include
the commuter cafeteria in the
‘Campus Center and the basement
of the library. The separation of
smoking and non-smoking sec-
tions in these places, according to
many people who frequent them,
is successful and fair.

Smokers and non-smokers
alike seem to agree that there are
not many places in which smok-
ing is allowed, and that those
areas in which it is permitted have
provided the most agreeable
alternatives.

“Smoking in the Camps
Center doesn’t really bother me
because it’s an open enough
area,” said student Dana
Bacman.

“It in more enclosed areas
like bars that it annoys me," she
said, adding that ‘there aren’t
really that many places on cam-
pus that you're allowed to
smoke."

University regulations have
designated classrooms, most of

the academic buildings on cam-
pus, and most bathrooms as non-
smoking areas. But some people
claim the restrictions are often
ignored.

“I think there should be more
restrictions,” said Luana Noto, a
secretary in the Political Science
department. ‘“People don’t really
pay attention to the ones there
are; students still smoke in the
halls," she said.

The perspective of most
smokers on campus seems to be

more of cooperation, rather than
tougher or less severe restrictions.

“Understanding and considera-
tion on both sides would best help
the situation,”’ said student
Elinor Brook. ‘People who don’t
want to be exposed to smoke
shouldn't have to be, but some
people are fighting more for the
principle and less for the fact,”
said Brook, who is a smoker.

A secretary in the Geology
department, who asked not to be
identified, said that for the

part people adhere to the rules,
and that no more restrictions
should be required. As a non-
smoker, she said that ‘‘as long as
we have a choice and smoking is
not forced on me it’s okay. But
when people come into the office
smoking, it really annoys me,”
she said.

Some people don’t agree that
the university has enough regula.
tions, however. Bruce Albert, a
Resi it at_Alden Hall

and a non-smoker, said there
should be more restricted areas,
such as “half of the commuter
cafeteria, rather than just the
edges. If someone two tables
away from me lights up a
cigarette and I get a ‘woof’ of
smoke in my face, it really
obstructs my thinking when I'm
trying to study,” he said,

Albert also added that “if
you're trying to cat, it’s discom-
forting to have someone in back
of you smoking.”” in

College Park, Md.

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — The chancellor's signature is all that is

needed for the University of Maryland to implement one of the

most drastic smoking policies of’ any college campus.

Joseph Gilmour, Chancellor John B. Slaughter’s top assistant,
said Slaughter fully supports the tough new restrictions,

The policy would ban smoking in classrooms, lecture halls,
libraries, hallways, a third of the campus’s dining halls and lounges
and any office in which any nonsmoker objects to smokis

While Maryland's measure, initiated by the faculty-dominated
‘Campus Senate, may be extreme, it’s hardly groundbreakiny

Already, hundreds of schools have enacted smoking policies,
sometimes in response to new state laws curbing smoking in
government institutions, restaurants, public areas, and in some
cases, private businesses.

Florida State University system, for example, is hurrying to
comply with a June law prohibiting smoking in public places.

Pacific Lutheran, Southern California and Stanford, among
others, must comply with local city or county smoking ordinances.

In all, 35 states and some counties have enacted smoking legisla-
tion affecting college campuses, according to the National Lung
Association.

But the Maryland Faculty wasn’t responding to any higher law
when it began discussing its own smoking ban, points out Student
Government Association President Kim Rice.

Instead, faculty members were aroused by the Surgeon General's

Smoking policies an issue nationwide

1984 report citing the harmful effects of smoke on nonsmokers.

While’ Rice admitted “students here favor some sort of policy,””
she said some did object because it had been instigated by faculty,
but would primarily effect students.

Because Maryland students “‘are in favor of some sort of
policy,”” Rice and other SGA members passed a resolution soften-
ing the Senate’s measure, permitting smoking in some designated
areas.

“They (the Campus Senate) didn’t recognize that students must
be able to smoke somewhere indoors during the day," said Rice,
“Students shouldn’t have to go outside, especially in the winter, if
they want to have a cigarett

Slaughter currently is studying both the Campus Senate and the
SGA resolutions, Gilmour said. Once the school's legal department
finishes reviewing plans for enforcement, the chancellor will sign
one of the measures, or a combination of the two.

Historically, campus legislation rarely is received favorably by
faculty, students and administrators alike, but when it comes to
smoking, campuses nationwide seem to be in concurrence

Stanford, for example, reports “‘across the board compliance”
with its January, 1985 ban on smoking in any open environment.
Presidential assistant Marlene Wine attributes such cooperation to
Stanford’s high percentage — between 80 and 90 percent — of
nonsmokers,

Associated Students member Leslie Leland said the measure
“simply hasn’t had that much effect because hardly anybody
smoked anyway

The University of Southern California's School of Public
Administration offers a program leading to a Master's
Degree in Public Administration with a specialization
certificate in Judicial Administration. The thi
MPA includes: coursework in the basics of public
administration applicable to the court environment;
research, systems analysis, finance, budgeting and personnel,
as well as courses in criminal and civil procedure.

SA transcript

By all measures so far, it’s been a somewhat
unusual year for our student government. The inter-
nal squabbles, name-calling games with the mayor,
and petty politics that have plagued Student Associa-
tions of the past have apparently disappereared this
year,

Replacing these difficulties are several new pro-
blems and obstacles. But more notably, there have
been a sizable number of successes’ and ac-
complishments that bring new life and credibility to
our Student Association.

At the top is President Steve Gawley, who has suc-
cessfully brought back student activism as a tool for
increasing student involvement and keeping ad-
ministrators on their toes.

Gawley's introduction of the Student Rights and
Advocacy Coalition (SARC), which is used to keep
large numbers of students up-to-date on the issues
and can be used to call these students into action at
anytime, is probably his greatest contribution to SA.
He's already made minor use of the network to en-
sure a good turnout for an open meeting of the Im-
plementation of 21 task force, which later recom-
mended that bulk containers be allowed in suite
rooms.

In addition, he's initiated a suit against the grouper
law, which at the very least, has stalled the city's
tempts at enforcement, until the end of this semester,
and he’s established good relations with local com-
munity groups that may prove to be valuable in the
future.

Despite working on off-campus concerns, Gawley
(and all of SA) have been heavily quad oriented in
their efforts to reach students for activism and pro-
gramming purposes. SARC lacks any substantial off
‘campus participation, and much of SA’s publicity
relies on door-to-door dorm sweeps on all five quads.
‘There's no excuse for the half-hearted attempts SA
has made to rectify this situation. They'd certainly
demand a better effort from the administration.

Gawley's other fault has been in drawing his ex-
ecutives into his own issues, and away from their own
individual duties. SA Media Director Doug Tuttle for
example, cites his work in Gawley’s office as his
“most valuable contribution” this year.

As useful as he may have been to Gawley, Tuttle
should be directing almost all of his energies to his
own office, not Gawley’s. Perhaps if he did, The Stu-
dent Voice could return to its every-other-Thursday
production schedule. Changing publication dates to
suit the issues is bad for any kind of newspapers’
credibility,

Tuttle has, however, made some long-needed
changes in his own office. He’s restructured it from a
compostion service into a media office and he's
transformed the Student Voice into a viable campus
publication, He also deserves much of the credit for
the ‘good press’ SA got during the summer and
throughout the semester.

Unfortunately, he hasn't been nearly as effective in
utilizing the student press. His efforts to keep: the
ASP up-to-date on the positive projects SA is work-
ing on have not taken full advantage of our
resources.

Tuttle, as with most of SA, has been quad
oriented, deliveriring The Voice under every door on-
campus, but until recently, making almost no effort
to get copies to off-campus students. This could be
easily rectified by compiling an off-campus mailing
list taken from the student directory. It might be
somewhat costly, but SA officials say The Voice is
turning a profit this semester,

Minority Affairs Coordinator Paco Duarte, has,
like Tuttle, restructured his office. He began the year
phenomenally, by hosting a well-attended statewide
divestment rally, Since then, he's worked on several
projects, but we have yet to see results. He appears to
have bogged himself down in too many good ideas.

The previous coordinators also struggled with this
problem due to the office's somewhat ambiguous
role. Duarte has already outdone his predecessors,
but he still needs to pick not more than three pro-
Jects, and then see them through,

As programming director, Bette Ginsberg is doing

¢ job, working to create non-alcoholic program-

ng and reviewing programs that were successful at

other schools, We're withholding judgement on
insbery's overall efforts, since her office's
events are scheduled for the spring semester.

Controller Eric Schwartzman, has done a good job
so fur. He hasn't been markedly innovative yet, but

he's doing a solid job.

And finally we get to Vice-President Ross Abelow,
who is, according to one SA executive,the “jack-of-
all-trades" or the “glue'’ holding SA together th
year. There is probably some truth to this, but even

What’s Happening Now?

Many questions remain unsolved, or is it un-attractive
to politcians and journalists of late.

An administration-related informant had disclosed
evidence to the Washington Post that President
Reagan has personally ‘‘sanctioned”* a CIA sponsored
Clandestine Operation aimed at assassinating Colonel
Muhamal Quadaffi of Libya.

Fred Tabaracci

Earlier this month another issue was place in question
also: The administration has officially requested 53
million dollars from Congress for Central America. A
large portion designated for El Salvador to increase an
terrorism activities. But still a large proportion is slated to
combat Nicaraguan Communist inspired subversion in
Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, and Honduras. Quite
obviously this massive influx of U.S, aide will significant-
ly aide and strengthen pro-U.S. factions fighting war with
Nicaragua.

In the Phillipines, concurrent news occurs: President
Ferdinano Marcos has conceded to elections on Jan. 17,
(hence moved up to March campaign), and the Ad-
ministration’s cabinet dept’s release of a “major”
research investigation of maintenance and security condi-
tions at Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Base in the
Phillipines.

The report points out many very important issues con-
cerning the future of these two U.S. military installations
in the South Pacific, Strategically the bases account for
security of the Indian and South Pacific, strategic and
security surveillance of Vietnam, China, USSR, and are
the two largest U.S. bases, outside U.S. territory, in the
world. The consequences of having to move these bases in
1991 because of:

Lincreased communism in Phillipines causing
Phillipinos, (¢ither Marco's gov't or potential new op-
position gov't) increased dissatisfaction with U.S.
relations.

2.The cost to move bases start at 8 billion. The conse-
quences are unconscienable if America has lost the sup-
port and committment of the Phillipines in maintaining
stability in a violent revolutionary-inspired region.

J.Lastly, the defection of a triad of Soviets, all who
subsequently return to the USSR has generated barely a
“brow-beating” by politicians and a usually skeptical
media, Such a failure would typically create resignations,
cat-calls, staff re-organizations at the departments
involved,

Alas, could it be that the up-coming Geneva Summit is
really that important to everybody.

Usually the Democrats, ambitious left leaning

icans, and non-public private gov't sponsored
civic rights, human rights, and policy research institu-
tions,..Again let's not forget the networks and press,
would have focused on the above events furiously. Even
to the point special report bulletins would have been
announced.

‘The potential to gain points with the public over the
“Quadafi Sanction" was very high, but for some strange
reason Americas leading Liberals hardly took a double-
take.

‘The anti-defense spending establishment could right
now be ripping Reagan to shreds surrounding the nasty

dilema and possible consequences over in the Phillipines.
Instead the Administration didn’t get two days of front
page column in the major papers.

Ironically, a statement by a leading Phillipino opposi-
tion candidate that he is skeptical if the question of re-
taining U.S. bases was put to a nationwide referendum-it
would likely be voted down, cause not as much as a
headline on page 10, or a comment after the sports scores
on T.V.

Ah, but the kicker is Central America and the possibili-
ty of an influx of $0 million plus dollars into the region
that will ultimately go to ‘buying us political support” in
order to strengthen the administrations hand against
Nicaragua.

‘The opportunity for supporters against Reagans policy
in the region to slander and dennigrate the administra-
tions policy was absolutely “wide open’? for debate. But,
the debate either is closed or on the backburner.

Now then, I have no concern to suggest any pro’s or
con's about the issues, it just seems that these issues are of
headline essence, and but not for Geneva, everything is
simply a blubb of rhetoric, or something.

Quite obviously, these issues are not at all to be deemed
significant anyway. I don't write headlines, I just observe
progress, stalemates, and blunders.

Nevertheless, it is curious to note how almost all issues
appear non-existent to the typical Washington-based
politician, Indeed the atmosphere on Capitol Hill appears
so quiet you could hear a pen-drop in the Senate, (and
since the Senate debates are closed to T.V. etc., that pen
is making a loud noise)!

So I guess I'll start doing like all the noted reporters
and journalists are doing.

-One-Revive acquaintences in the State Dept., Congre:
and Whitehouse, in order to naildown someone for pro”
and con’ criticism of the Summit,
-Two-Plan well in advance to make certain I get the best
accomodations possible in Geneva, (the places where my
acquaintences will be staying of course),
-Three-Buy a La’Rousse dictionary on how to speak Rus-
sian in a fortnight.

yur-Read up and research the history and quotes of
past summits so I can generate comparison and contrast
in my reports.
-Five-Equip myself with a library of quotes and
statements made by Reagan and his administration so 1
can call attention to the likely policy switches that occur
in Geneva
-Six-Buy a good break-down bicycle, with snow tires,
since the likelyhood of getting in a cab with a Soviet Aide,
so I can quiz in Russian, is virtually non-existent by now.
-Seven-Make sure to pack at least three “phone out of
‘order stickers" that are like those in Geneva so I have a
phone to call in my scoop of the century.
-Eight-Pack an umbrella and galoshes in case it rains,
-Nine-Go to library and see what are the popular movies,
records, and plays in Moscow and read up on them in
case 1 meet a Russian who is not in a taxi-cab,
-Ten-Go to library and see what are the popular movies,
records, and plays in Washington and read up on them in
case I see an acquaintence while pedaling to work in
Geneva,
Eleven... Twelve... Thirteen...

...Ninetynine-Where is Geneva anyhow I need to buy the
train tickets. oO

SUNYA gives blood

To the Editor:

The students at SUNY are always involved with one
“‘cause"’ or another— whether it be protesting apartheid,
the Grouper Law, or even the ban on kegs in the dorms.
There are always two sides to every issue such as these,
and students are often faced with niaking tough decisions
about real-life problems,

Yet, students at SUNYA are also involved with one
cause that is completely “‘one-sided’—giving blood!

The Albany Area Chapter of the American Red Cross,
in conjunction with various sponsoring organizations,
have held extremely successful bloodmobiles right on
campus.

Donating blood is a “one-sided issue” because it can be
seen as a positive occurance by members of every interest
group. Donating blood saves lives— and what could be
bad about tha

‘Two school fraternities, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Delta
Sigma Pi, as well as the Alumni Quad Board, must be
commended for their outstanding efforts with blood-
mobiles earlier this semester. The next American Red
Cross bloodmobile will be in the Campus Center on
Wednesday, December 4th, 1985.

Isn’t it nice toknow that in this world of chaos and con-
fusion that something good is going on? Thanks SUNYA.
students— keep up the good work!

On gun control

To the Edito

1 am writing this letter of grave concern in response to
Mr. Reagan's recent views concerning the N.R.A. and
gun control.

‘Two years ago, on my eighteenth birthday, I received a
letter from the Federal Government. It informed me that
the Social Security insurance money I was receiving to
help compensate for the financial difficulties my mother
and I were experiencing was being eliminated. An illness
that struck my father when I was the age of seven
qualified my mother and I to receive this money; but
because I had reached the legal age of eighteen and was
not yet enrolled in college, it was discontinued in accor-
dance with Mr. Reagan’s revision of the Social Security
program.

To further aggravate the problem, Mr. Reagan pro-
ceeded on my nineteenth birthday to cut back on financial
aid. The effects of this action were substantial enough to
force my single mother to secure an additional job in an
attempt to successfully put me through college.

During the year of my twentieth birthday Mr. Reagan
came to my hometown (N.Y.C.) to discuss peace at the
United Nations. This visit took police off the streets and
put them in front of the United Nations to guard Mr.
Reagan. That evening my mother headed toward a dif-
ferent kind of United Nations — Bryant Park, where she
was murdered. There is no saying that this tragedy would
not have occurred otherwise, but ask Mr. Reagan’s fami-
ly how they would feel if they were in my shoes.

1am now on my own approaching adulthood. I have
recently read Mr. Reagan’s opinions to lower gun con-
trol. With all the murders and senseless violence in this
world destroying precious people and families, 1 can find
no rationale in Mr. Reagan's views. Family life is what
the U.S.A. is all about, and I urge him to allow me to

Hidden hypocrisy

To the Editor:

Subsidized discrimination is currently permitted at the
SUNY Albany campus. While we, as students, have no
proof of this, the weakening of the Sex Equity in Educa-
tion Amendments of 1972 (Title 1X) could easily allow for
discrimination in any number of our departments and
programs.

The Feb. 1984 Grove City v. Bell Supreme Court deci-
sion changed the original intent of Title IX from pro-
hibiting sex discrimination institution-wide to prohibiting
discrimination in programs that receive direct federal fun-
ding. For example, if SUNY Albany's Biology Depart-
ment received federal funds for research.they would be
forbidden by law to discriminate, Yet, if the Physi
Education Department did not receive direct funding,
they would have a green light to discriminate in any way
they saw fit,

It should be noted that very few Physical Education
Departments nationwide receive federal funds,

There is presently proposed legislation in Congress
which would remedy this dangerous situation; the Civil
Rights Restoration Act of 1985 would restore the
“‘institution-wide"’ definition of discrimination at the
SUNY Albany campus and every other across the nation.
Unfortunately, conservative legislators are blocking this
act and preventing it from coming to a vote. They ap:
parently feel certain forms of discrimination are alright.
If you don’t condone discrimination, become a part of
the student petition drive on this campus,

We must influence our legislators to pass this into law
before it becomes the Civil Rights Restoration Act of
1986,

Save Chapel Hill

To the Edit

We, the faculty and students, always ready to
demonstrate against forces maneuvering our globe
towards disaster, must not remain lethargic when impen-
ding evil strikes the core of our Campus.

In the Albany Student Press of November 15, 1985, on
pages | and 13, we have all read what is in store for us,
‘That unique and beautiful patch of unadulterated Nature
overlooking our Campus, Chapel Hill, an oasis of
spirituality and natural communion even with a burnt-out
Chapel House, is to make way for a “feildhouse which
will seat 3,000 to 5,000 people, a large arena structure,”

I invite all of our ecologically-minded students and
faculty 1) to urge Rev. Gary Kriss, President of Chapel
House's Governing Board (c.0. Box 2225 on Campus) to
reject the ill-advised land swap; 2) to urge Vice President
for University Affairs Lewis Welch to desist from levell-
ing Chapel Hill and razing its majestic trees and to situate
the proposed fieldhouse elsewhere, perhaps where he now
intends to relegate a new-fangled Chapel House totally
devoid of spiritual atmosphere; 3) to urge the SUNY
Board of Trustees to “Save Chapel Hill from the
fieldhouse’’; 4) to urge our State legislators not to ap-
prove any such exchange of land during its next session;
5) to hold a march, involving as many of us as possible,
from Chapel Hill to the State Legislature, to ‘Save

Chapel Hill from’ the fieldhouse."”

Good policy

To the Editor:

Reading ex-council member Steven Kramer's letter
about Central Council’s passage of a revamped election
policy, I agreed with him on only one point: he left
SUNYA with an inflated ego.

The election policy was probably the most important
legislation passed by Central Council this year. The pro-
ject of revamping the policy was undertaken to remove
the ambiguities that existed, to make it more precise and
enforceable, and most importantly, more accessible for
students to run in major elections.

What Mr. Kramer failed to mention in his criticism is
that SA will only reimburse a maximum of $150 to a can-
didate for SA President or Vice President if they receive a
minimum of 15 percent of the votes and have receipts for
their expenses. What this does is open up major elections
to serious candidates who cannot afford to finance their
campaign. Contrary to being “ridiculous’’, 1 commend
Central Council ‘85-86 for taking the initiative to enact
such legislation. Two of the SA Presidential candidates
this past year spent between $400 and $600 to finance
their campaigns. What council was doing in passing this
bill was to open the election up to a serious candidate who
could not afford to spend that kind of money. $150 was
calculated to be the minimum amount necessary to
finance a major campaign. This is obviously not a waste
of student's money.

The new election policy is concise and fair with SA
receiving constant complaints about past elections — this
revampment was necessary. Internal Affairs spent endless
hours on improving the policy to make it the best possi-
ble, If anyone cared to spend the time, please read the old
and the new policy, You too, will see the difference — for
the better.

One last comment on Mr. Kramer’s letter. Although
such topics as nuclear disarmament and saving the seals
are important issues, our first priority is to act on behalf
of issues that directly affect students. 1 cannot think of a
better one than SA elections,

— Richard Wilson
Central Council

Editorial

continued from previous page

80, he seems to be spending too much time in this
role, taking away from some of the programming he
talked about initiating during his campaign last spr-
ing. He has been a vital asset to SA this year, helping
to define the delicate balance between student
government and the fraternities and sororities. Un-
fortunately, he’s neglected some of his programming
duties.

One fault to be found with the whole executive
branch this year, is that it become somewhat of a
male-oriented clique, When Gawley, Duarte, Tuttle,
‘Abelow and Schwartzman, or any combination of
them team up for a few pranks or a night out, they
form a tightly knit network of ‘guys’ that would
make any woman feel out of place, While there's
nothing wrong with this kind of camaraderie, it
unavoidably carries over into the workplace.

Ginsberg, the sole woman executive, has done a
commendable job overcoming this obstacle, which is
almost inherent in the combination of personalities
making up this year's SA leadership,

ETUEN FROM THANKSGIVING

Kennedy cautions hopeful writers
about perils in publishing industry

By Jim Avery
‘STAFF WRITER

“I think the odds are against the writer
in a way they didn't used to be,” said
Pulitzer Prize Winning Author William
Kennedy Tuesday afternoon in the second
of his four part “Dialogue with Students.””

Profit margins have become a major
problem for writers today as publishing
becomes increasingly more of a busi

“Is ita crap game? Itis and it isn’t,” Ken-

id. ‘They [the publishers] want to
ie most money they can from the
smallest expense."”

“The big chain book stores have grown
powerful,” said Kennedy, adding that
‘publishers tailor what they think Dalton ,
or Walden will buy.”*

After being introduced by Harry C.
Staley of the SUNYA English department,
Kennedy read a prepared statement and
then fielded questions from an audience
which gathered early outside the Perform-

ing Arts Center’s Recital Hall.

“It is easier for a first-time novelist to
get published for the first time than it is for
the novelist with his fourth or fifth novel
and a lousy track record,” said Kennedy.

Also, Kennedy said short story writers
are finding an audience. ““The short story
has had a renaissance. A whole new crop
of short story writers have been
appearing.””

Another aspect of modern publishing
Kennedy covered was the growth of
regional publishing, as many young writers
search for a forum in which they can ap-
pear in print, He also said he sees large
magazines, such as The New Yorker
devoting more space to fiction.

He cautioned young writers against
firms who charge reading fees claiming
that they were not really in the business of
being agents, but in the business of charg-
ing fees. “You might get a good reading,
but the odds are against it,”” he said.

“*{If] you tell a European you have a

the New York State Writer’s Institute,
which is housed at SUNYA.

Kennedy went on to say, good

what a good editor would do.""

of finding a good agent and a good editor.

He also stressed the importance
of an agent who is experienced
with the particular type of writing
being done. “If they don't have a
personalized relationship, they
will retreat,” he said.

Kennedy said he considers
himself lucky because his current
agent has a partner who is a
movie agent. He said he is getting
“two for the price of one, or one
and a half, I should say.”

Kennedy said he was also pleas-
ed with Cork Smith of Viking
Press, who edited his novel
Tronweed. “‘Some editors will try
to write the book for you,” he
said, adding he found editors
more helpful if they look over the
material and make general com-
ments. ‘Some good advice is

“The 78 acres of land across
Fuller Road was purchased a
while ago,"” said University Presi-
dent Vincent O'Leary. “This land
where the proposed site lies has
been unused in the past. We have
been waiting to develop this area
until we had the money to start
the construction and now we have
it. That is why the land was pur-
chased in the first place."
Since access to this land is
limited by a narrow road, im-
provements will have to be made.
O'Leary said, “We will be widen-
ing the road to accomodate the
extra use that it will receive. It is
much too narrow to be useful.”
“Both sidewalks and lighting
will be installed for the future
tenants of the “apartment

Kennedy also spoke about the
amount of control a writer can
have over his writing. “You can
have as much as you want,” he
said. However, “if you're a needy
writer and someone wants to
publish it your work}, you don’t
have as much (control},”” he said.

“It is the substance of the re-
jection which is disheartening,”
said the author as he encouraged
aspiring writers to be persistent.

Kennedy's Ironweed was re-
jected 13 times before it was final-
ly published by Viking at the urg-
ing of novelist Saul Bellow.
““Too many bums in the book,”
1 was told. ‘Who wants to read
about bums, especially in
Albany?’,”’ he said.

series of four that Kennedy will be
presenting this year. Two more

for University Affairs Lewis
Welch.

The new student housing will
be two or three stories and much
different from the design of the
four uptown quads.

“At this point we are still con~
sidering different programs and
options. We haven't reached the
blueprint stage yet,”" Welch said.
“The land of the building site is
broken up into two sections, one
section of around 60 acres and the
other of about 10 to 12 acres,"
said Welch.

Welch said he expects a later
completion date for the project

be started in 1986 and completion
wouldn't be accomplished for 18
months to two years,” he said. C)

Harvard t-shirt is hottest thing on the market -

Cambridge, Mass.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — It’s
crimson and white and worn all
over, and its sal
‘‘somewhere up in the
stratosphere,” one well-placed
observer says. “It” is the Har-
vard t-shirt, which some say is
now the best-selling collegiately-
licensed product in the world.

Selling the shirts~a great many
to foreign tourists-has become
such a big business for the Har-
vard Coop Bookstore that it now
operates six retail outlets in the
Boston-Cambridge area.

Big Ten, Ivy League and col-
leges that have good sports years
generally sell the most shirts,
reported Jim Rissing, national
college bookstore marketing
manager for Champion Products,
a Rochester, N.Y. firm that
claims to be the nation’s largest
producer of college t-shirts and
sweatshirts,

As budget cuts sent many col-
leges scrambling for money,
schools expanded their control
‘over products on which their
names appear, hoping to reap
royalty profits.

By joining a licensing
cooperative, for example, the
University of Alabama pushed its
royalty checks from $83,000 in
1983 to more than $100,000 in
1984,

Penn State, Georgia Southern,
the University of Miami and the
Cal State system, among others,
have adopted new logos in recent
years in part because their
previous symbols had become
part of the public domain, As a
result, the schools’ could not

count on getting all the profits
from marketing their wares more
aggressively.

Although the Harvard name
and colors are in wide use, the
school, said Rissing, seems to be a
“unique, one-of-a-kind animal.

He attributed the huge sales of
the shirts to the school’s
worldwide reputation, its large
and loyal alumni and to the
Coop's labor policies, which en-
courage sales by paying dividends
out of proceeds.

Real status, however, accrues
to owning an authentic Harvard t-
shirt, available only at one of the
Coop stores.

‘There are many counterfeit
Harvard shirts sold throughout
Japan, where young people tend
to treasure American college
paraphernalia, said Ririko
Takagi, a Harvard coop shopper
from Los Angeles.

In fact, there are Harvard shirts
sold all over Boston and Cam-
bridge that aren’t the real thing,
either.

Clifford Brown, an assistant
buyer for the Harvard Coop,
stresses the shirts and parapher-
nalia sold at off-campus gift
shops, bookstores and souvenir
shops are about, not of, Harvard.

“We're the official insignia
store for Harvard and M.IL.T.
(Massachusetts Institute of
Technology) and the schools of
Harvard,” Brown insisted. Since
the Coop doesn’t sell in bulk to
other retailers, one can buy
authentic Harvard shirts only at
Coop stores.

The t-shirts of other schools
have had their appeal diluted,

UCLA shirts were once so
popular in Japan, where people
tefer to the school as ‘‘Yookla,””
that the school licensed a
manufacturer to produce the t-
shirts in Japan,

Absent from Reagan’s speech
was the sense of frustration con-
veyed by Gorbachev who spent
most of his news conference
discussing the failure to reach an
arms agreement.

“Lam pleased to report tonight
that General Secretary Gorbachev
and I did make a measure of pro-
gress here,”” Reagan said. ‘While
we still have a long way to go,
we're at least heading in the right
direction. We moved arms con-

The speech capped a 20-hour
day for Reagan that included a
long trans-Atlantic flight across
six time zones. Even so, the
74-year old President looked
anything but tired as he strode in-
to the House of Representatives
chamber to a prolonged, standing
ovation from the members of
Congress.

In all the President summed up
his trip this way

“A new realism spanned the
summit; the summit itself was a
good start; and now our byword
must be: ‘Steady as we go’."”

followed a summit that produced
agreements to meet again next

after in Moscow, and accords on

issues such as a cultural exchange
and establishment of new
diplomatic facilities. But the two
leaders failed to break their
deadlock on the main business of
superpower arms control, and
Reagan said that on the issue of
so-called ‘Star Wars," the two
leaders had a very direct
exchange.

“Mr. Gorbactev insisted that
we might use a strategi¢ defense
system to put offensive weapons
into space and establish nuclear
superiority, " the President said.
“1 made it clear that SDI
(Strategic Defense Initiative) had
nothing to do with offensive
weapons."”

Reagan also said he restated his
proposal for “open laboratories’
for scientists from the Soviet
Union and the United States to
‘observe each other's research on
strategic defense systems.

Reagan thus ended his three-
day venture into superpower sum-
mitry with a flourish. He began
the day with Gorbachev in
Geneva, then moved on to a
meeting with NATO allies in
Brussells and finally home for the
speech, In all, Reagan spent more

Klotz secures NCAA diving berth
in Albany victory over Russell Sage }

By Doreen Clark
STAFF WRITER

The Albany State women’s swim team
started its season'with a victory against
Russell Sage, 73-29.

The highlight of the meet was Jane
Klotz's performance in which she qualified
for Nationals with a score of 402.4. A
score of 379 is needed to qualify.
Freshman Geanne Curiff came within five
hundredths of a second from the current
pool record for the 200-yard backstroke.
Other outstanding performances where
Pepper Schwartz's victories in the 50-yard
and 10-yard freestyle, Chris Cawley's vie-
tory in the 200-yard freestyle, and Nancy
Smith's victory in the 500-yard free style.

The Russell Sage meet proved to be just
a warm up for the Great Dane Relays held
last Saturday. The team placed third out of
seven teams. The Albany Relay teams took
third place in four of the nine events while
divers Mendel and Marcy Geisser cap-

The events included the 400-yard medley

relays swam by Curiff, Robyn Roche,
Carol Ely, and Chris Cawley, the 400-yard
individual medley, with Clair Blanthorne,
Lori Aronstein, Smith, and Roche, the
30-yard backstroke, with Blanthorne,
Curiff, and Cawley, and the 200-yard
freestyle with Curiff, Mary Daly, Cawley,
and Ely.

Had Curiff’s time been official in the
300-yard backstroke, she would have
broken the pool record for the 100-yard
backstroke. Individual times are official
only for the first person of each relay.

“I was very impressed with some of the
times coming from the beginning of the
season, especially from Geanne Curiff,
Carol Ely, Chris Cawley, and Nancy
Smith," said assistant coach Caroline
Scharlock.

Ely and Smith, both juniors, seem to be
returning to the low times they obtained
while freshmen, said Scharlock.

Great Dane women runners fail to qualify

The Albany State women’s
cross country team enjoyed suc-
cess this past season, but they
couldn't put the icing on the cake
Saturday, failing to qualify for
the NCAAs at the regional
qualifier held at Sunken Meadow,
Long Island,

Step by step, the team’s train-
ing was planned by Coach Ron
White, who mixed interval
workouts with distance runs.

Four of the top seven runners
were returning from last year’s
varsity, which had placed eighth
in the Division III NCAAs.

The team also placed fifth at
the New York State Meet, as well
as at the ECACs, but the peaks

reached weren't

“It wasn’t the season we could

high, it’s almost impossible to
top.

“The whole region has gotten
much stronger. The top-notch
cross country runners are staying
in the state without scholar-

While the rest of us suffered through a typically
cold November evening in Albany, Craig Parlato
boarded a plane bound for sunny Atlanta, Georgi
on Thursday. But Parlato was not travelling
search of a tan or to visit Ted Turner, he was en
route to the NCAA Division II Cross Country
Championships.

Parlato earned his all-expense paid weekend by
finishing a surprising eleventh at the New York
Regional qualifying meet held Saturday at Sunken
Meadow State Park in Long Island.

“T thought last week was my last meet,"” said the
senior co-captain, “I wasn’t planning on coming in
the top twenty.””

His expectations were justified. After leading the
Danes in the first half of the season, Parlato seemed
to be growing stale, as his teammates finished ahead
of him frequently during the latter part of the
campaign.

He had a slow start on Saturday, but ‘he just
kept moving up, passing clumps of runners,” sai
Coach Bob Munsey.

Because the field was spreading out as he worked

it, Parlato did not realize how close

“I was surprised when I found out I was
eleventh,”” he said.

Placing eleventh enabled him to extend his season
by a week as he was the third runner to finish who
was not on one of the three teams that qualified.
‘The first six runners who are not members of one of
the qualifying teams are eligible as individuals for
the nationals.

Parlato’s teammates also performed well, runn-

ing perhaps their best meet of the season despite
missing a Nationals berth by one place. By scoring
120 points, the Danes finished behind the three
Atlanta-bound teams, R.I.T. (33), Ithaca (75) and
St. Lawrence (83)

“T wasn’t planning on
coming in the top
twenty.’’
— Craig Parlato

“We peaked at the right time, while they didn'
said Munsey, referring to the other SUNY teams at
the meet. Though they finished fourth at the
SUNYAC's, the Danes outraced every SUNY team
at Sunken Meadow.

Behind Parlato, who ran the 8000 meter course in
26:19, were sophomore Pat ‘ Porge’’ Paul (22nd,
26:19), Tan Clements (26th, 26:47), Ray Volper
(28th, 26:51), and Jack Glaser (38th, 27:03). Trevor
Hash (48th, 27:20) and Tim Hoff (52nd, 27:30) also
competed.

While Parlato refused to seriously predict how he
would perform (I want to get first,"” he claimed,
tongue planted firmly in cheek), Munsey said, ‘I'd
like to see him in the first seventy, first sixty.”” In
previous NCAA's, Parlato placed 70th last year and
142nd in 1983.

“I'll probably be the toughest nationals ever,"
Munsey predicted. “I’ve looked at some of these
teams, and they're just ungodly,

But, he added, “There's no pressure on Craig to
support a team. He's got everything to win and
nothing to lose. a

Great Danes to battle Plymouth State in ECACs

By Mike MacAdam
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

When the word came on Sun-
day that Western Connecticut's
victory over Hofstra had propell-
ed them into the NCAA Division
III playoffs, leaving 8-2 Albany
State out in the cold, an emp-
tiness set into the hearts of the
Dane players and coaching staff.

But by midweek’s practice, the
team’s spirits had risen from the
depths as they prepared for Satur-
day's ECAC tournament game
against 8-2 Plymouth State due to
several incentives, the most

motivating of which is proving
that Albany should be playing in
the NCAA playoffs, not Western
Connecticut.

“Twas really concerned on
Sunday," said Albany State head
coach Bob Ford. ‘I thought they
were going to have to dig 48
graves and everyone would fall in
them, and then the coaches would
shovel the dirt on top.””

Ford thinks that a convincing
victory by Albany State, coupled
with a loss by Western Connec:
ticut to Montclair State in the first
round of the NCAAs, might show

win number nine against Phymouth State.

the NCAA selection committee
that Albany State deserved the
playoff spot awarded to Western
Connecticut. Especially since
Western Connecticut's lone
defeat was to Plymouth State.

“think it will at least make a
statement about how strong their
(Western Connecticut's) league
is,” said Ford. “It’s an oppor-
tunity to make a statement about
our program, and a chance to
play a school that has gained a lot
of recognition in the last couple
of years."

Ford was referring to the fact

that this is the third straight year
Plymouth State has gone to post-
season play, The Panthers receiv-
ed an NCAA bid last year and
played in the ECAC tournament
the year before.

the Panther attack as an adequate
passer who can be a threat to run
also.

“We key our offense toward
whatever defense we're playing
against,"’ said Plymouth State

————2
“I thought they were going to have
to dig 48 graves and everyone
would fallin...”

— Bob Ford

Another incentive, specifically
for the Dane defense, which has
shut out three of Albany’s last
four opponents, is stopping
tailback Joe Dudek, who has

cAspeculation

t was Thanksgiving, about ten years ago, when my father was subjected to
I family-style dining during our family-style vacation in Pennsylvania Dutch

Country. My father called it “the sticks” and sought entertainment in trying to
take pictures of Quakers before they could run away. He captured at least 20 souls
on film.

Family-style dining was the Way to go in Dutch Country, my mother assured us.
Dad consented, “If you want to go sit at a picnic table with people you don’t know
— people who you probably wouldn't like if you did know, that’s fine with me.
Let's go.” So we did.

At the far end of a table of old, overweight, work-ethic Pennsylvanians, we were
a family of young, underweight, fun-ethic Long Islanders. The meal was spent
more in passing food than in eating it. Passing was done by method of requests
such as, “Toss me some turkey,” which were always met by food-displaying replies
of, “You bet!” Much to our confusion and embarrassment, every time someone
said, “You bet!” my father said, “foxes.” The Pennsylvanians smiled at him politely,
assuming that it was a strange Long Island expression that hadn't yet reached the
sticks

As soon as we escaped from what my father called the “dining ordeal,” we asked
him why he kept saying “foxes” whenever someone said “You bet.” He sat us
down and told us a Romulus and Remus-type of story about three Long Island
babies who were raised in the wilderness by foxes and returned to their parents
years later. I looked at my brother and sister to determine whether or not they
bought it

“Is that true, Dad?” my sister asked, wide-eyed. “You bet!” he assured her.

It was then that my father proposed a family pact that, if at all possible, our fami-
ly would spend every Thanksgiving together, even when (and if, he added) we're
all grown up and have moved away. We said, “You bet,” and, of course, my father
said “foxes.”

It wasn’t until last year that the truth of “You bet” — “foxes” was revealed. It
happened in Waldbaum’s — Isle 2. I spotted “Fox’s U-Bet” brand chocolate syrup
on the shelf next to the Yoo Hoo. When I confronted my father, he admitted that
he drank it straight as a kid; he never liked milk.

Now we're grown up somewhat, and moved away to some extent (if college can
be called “away”). And on November 26 my parents, too, are moving away.
They're breaking the tradition of waiting for retirement to move into a con-
dominium, and they're doing it now, while they can still enjoy the hot tub.

This Thanksgiving, rather than sit on boxes and take in fried chicken, we're spen-
ding the day at my brother's house. When I heard he had offered to cook, I called
long distance. “Do you mean to say you really know how to make a turkey?” |
challenged.

“You bet! I took home-ec,,” he assured me. “You put it in the oven, watch foot-
ball for a while, take it out, and eat it.” Then he let me in on a secret — he’s going
to make “herb” stuffing.

Last night | asked my suitemate Linda if I could come over her house for lef-
tovers Thursday night
“You bet,” she said.

“Foxes,” I replied, of course.

F purest forms of American art. It is

the art of being able to take stories

since the songs are mostly stories and

Last Saturday at the Palace
Theater, I got a crash course on the true
meaning of folk music from three of the
most wellknown performers in the
————

Gnd do something that they

know is right.”
—Arlo Guthrie

business: John Sebastian, David Bromberg,
and Arlo Guthrie.

John Sebastian's set included a song call-
ed "Morning Blues,” which is about an ex:
perience all of us with those killer 8:15
classes can relate to — waking up the mor-
ning after. His set continued with a cheer-
ful “It's a Beautiful Day for a Daydream”
and a song called “Fishin,” which he played
upon request from someone in the au-
dience. This is another point about folk
music, because of the down-to-earth every-
day topics of the songs, there is an amiable
intimacy between audience and performer
which cannot be achieved in. most other

forms of music, Sebastian's set ended with
a blues harmonica solo that the audience
clapped along to.

Next on stage was the David Bromberg
Trio. Since 1 was completely unfamiliar
with Bromberg, this was the most pleasant
surprise of the evening. He seemed truly at
home on stage and had an extremely
friendly, easy-going stage presence. Most
of his songs focused on the more
humorous aspects of life. This was most ap-
parent during a song about being attacked
in his hotel room by roaches. Bromberg,
and ‘his trio were joined on stage by
Guthrie and his band for a folksy-blues ver-
sion of “Da-Do-Ron-Ron.”

‘After a short break Arlo Guthrie and his
band came back on stage. The Guthrie
family has influenced three generations of
music starting with Woody Guthrie (who
has profoundly influenced the likes of Bob
Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, especially on
his Nebraska album) and e with
‘Arlo's son Abraham, who is now the
keyboard player in his father's band.

Arlo Guthrie

John Sebastian

Guthrie's set was sharply political. His
first few songs were about the plight of the
‘American farmer. After "Freight Train” the
songs took a turn towards current events,
with a dedication of the song “All Ove
the World" to “the boys at the summit,
and closing with “Amazing Grace,” which
announced was written by the captain of a
slave ship who turned around in the mid:
dle of a voyage, because he realized what
he was doing was wrong, He concluded by
saying, “Let's hope that people will never
be afraid to stand up and do something that
they know is right.”

In an age of "Top 40” and mindless
“Technobop" it is refreshing to see such
pure, down-to-earth music being made
with so much care and skill, and it is en-
couraging to know that folk music can
never, never truly fade away. As long as
people keep having new experiences and
things keep changing in the world, there
will always be people to put these ex-
periences to music, a medium which as the
Guthrie family has shown us is easily pass-
ed from generation to generation, and
which all people can relate to, a

How a local sound studio
tides the cutting edge of
radio drama

BY DEAN BETZ

44 You know, Ruby, our model of the
universe is not a model of the real
universe, but a reflection of how the
human mind creates models of the

universe, 77

Deawnc ON A RARE sense of wit

and irreverence, a small recording studio near Albany is
breathing new life into the tired genre of radio drama.

Ruby: The Adventures of a Galactic Gumshoe — a slick,
sexy, science fantasy series which began this fall on the
National Public Radio network, is the newest in a long line
of offbeat radio plays created by award-winning ZBS
Foundation, based in the tiny upstate New York hamlet of
Fort Miller.

"We use a whoopie cushion and play it into the
Synclavier (synthesizer), then play it. We get all these
different farts on the keyboard, | figured it's about time.
Public radio can be so... $0 serious. You know, ‘Great
Works of Art,’ says Tom Lopez, ZBS executive producer
and Ruby writer, on one of the unusual sound effects that
echoes the studio's approach.

The Ruby series, broadcast as part of NPR Playhouse
(locally at 8 p.m. Wednesdays on WAMC 90.3 FM), has its
genesis in an idea to create a series of three-minute radi
dramas intended for daily commercial radio “drive ti
when commuters listen while driving to or from work.

The original series of 65 episodes, produced three years
ago, was rejected by commercial radio because, in the words
of one ABC radio executive, it was “too hip.” Ruby did find ||
a home, on more than 300 public radio, college and
community stations in the United States and later on the
national radio networks of Canada, Australia and New
Zealand. It was broadcast locally on WRPI 91.5 FM.

The popularity of the original series led Lopez, and
Phoenix, associate producer and collaborator, to begin
working on a sequel last winter.

‘The new 65 three-to-four-minute episodes, dubbed Ruby
11, were distributed to about 70 NPR stations over the
summer. Combined with the original Ruby episodes, they
form the 13 half-hour broadcasts over the 300-station NPR
network,

That project will likely be followed by a Hollywood:
produced film based on the Ruby concept. Lopez has
completed a draft screenplay that Tercel, a Los Angeles
production company, is working to sell to a major studio.

Music FOR 18 MUSICIANS, hypnotic

minimalist piece by Steve Reich, filters through the open
window of an renovated old farmhouse on the east bank of
the Hudson River. As the river passes serenely and the sun
warmly shines, Phoenix sits with her back against the trunk
of a tree, listening and waiting for a late interviewer.

1 pull my car off the dirt road in front of the two houses
that serve as ZBS studio, office and living quarters. Through
the open car window passes Music for 18 Musicians, which
Td been listening to on the drive up.

We note the odd coincidence of the obscure music, and
Phoenix points out another. “It was so interesting sitting here
on the grass and listening through the windows. Windows
are also an important part of Ruby I — they keep opening,
up, as part of a parallel universe, in the minds of these
creatures called the Bulldada.”

‘Tom had wandered off somewhere around the one-acre
wooded lot while waiting for me to show up. The two, who
for the past several years have been nearly the entire staff of
ZBS, were enjoying the warm, colorful fall day because
they'd spent the entire summer in the studio on Ruby.
Phoenix said this was probably the first day they'd spent
outdoors in. months.

We find Tom pruning small trees, make small talk, dig up
a blanket and find a sunny spot on the lawn.

Phoenix stretched out her long legs. She exudes a
comtortable, sensual nature that undoubtedly found its way
into the sexy sophistication of Ruby.

Ruby is a cool-headed, smooth-talking, beautiful private
eye of the 21st century. Among her many talents is the
ability to slow time, a skill that comes in handy when the
Slimies, bio-genetically engineered assassins, catch up with
her

22, 1985

Ruby is hired by an odd character named Rodant Kapoor
(who gets angry when people call him Rodent, although he
looks like a rat). He wants to know who's trying to alter the
masses’ perception of reality by manipulating the media of
his planet, Summa Nulla. The name means “the high point
of nothing.”

“A heavy media coating is affecting everyone; media
events are staged initially to entertain the public but
eventually they blur the distinction between ‘actual’
coverage and fabricated productions. Soon no one knows
what is ‘real’ and what is not,” according to ZBS’ publicity.

‘Summa Nulla is a rough planet. “Ruby is a tough,
sophisticated and witty female detective. She carries a blaster
and uses it (SFX: BLAM! BLAMD.”

Tom had just finished the screenplay, which he wrote to
replace an unsatisfactory script prepared by a screenwriter.
The film "is based very closely on the original Ruby, except
they insisted we have a plot. | laughed to myself when they
bought it, because | thought, ‘Wait ‘tll they find out there's
no story here.’ It was done as a three-minute daily, and
there's no way you can have much of a story.

“I mean, three minutes — we spend two minutes
apping what had happened before, and in short, it's much
easier not to have much of a story. Little did 1 know it
might boomerang back at me and I would have to make a
story up.

Tom and Phoenix developed the original Ruby idea over a
series of long distance telephone calls between Fort Miller
and Los Angeles, where she worked as associate producer of
a spoken arts program on Pacifica station KPFK-EM. She
describes it as a sort of telephone romance, one that
eventually drew her to work at ZBS.

Before her radio career, 46-year-old Phoenix (who legally
dropped a first name she says she never liked) acted in
theater and film, produced shows and “happenings,” and
created conceptual art

Tom, 50, has produced and directed radio series at ZBS
since 1970. Before, he worked at commercial radio stations
in Montreal and Philadelphia, was chief soundman for Yoko
Ono's film production company (before she met a guy
named John Lennon, he adds) and produced radio programs
for the BBC and Canada’s CBC.

Phoenix accuses Tom of being an old hippie. They both
are produets of an attistic subculture spawned partly by the
freedom of expression encouraged in the 60s.

Rusy CAN BE PERCEIVED on several different

levels of understanding. NPR's press releases describe it as a
parody of 30s detective novels and contemporary science-
fiction thvillers.

At a deeper level, it asks us to question how we look at
reality and how the electronic media profoundly manages
our perception of reality.

‘One example is in songs by the Android Sisters, a pop
group Ruby occasionally tunes in on the radio of her aircar.
ln “Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep,” the sisters ask
if we allow the media to set our cultural agenda. “Do
androids dream of electronic sheep? We dream of you,” they
answer

Tom says that, unlike conventional radio drama, music
plays an active and essential role in Ruby.

Music is such an important part of it. In most radio
dcama the music is in the background. We want the music to
be hot and up front as much as possible," says Tom.

What would be a weird sound effect in a radio drama is
4 part of the whole piece in Ruby, says Phoenix.

The studio works closely with Toronto composer Tim
Clark, whose bestknown piece i the musi at Disney's

EPCOT Center “Spaceship Earth” exhibit.

The music for the original Ruby and later Ruby I! series
changed because of the vastly different technology available.
In the three year gap, digital synthesizers, like the
Synclavier, became readily available.

tn addition to creating new sounds, the instruments allow
natural sounds to be stored, reprocessed and played back on
4 keyboard. That's how whoopie cushion “farts” can become

My Country Tis of Thee,” a “whoopie bazooka,” or almost
anything else.

44 My name is Ruby. I'm a galactic
gumshoe — a good one. This is my

“Once you've established a theme or sound, you can store
it on floppy disc and call it up again. Tim was constantly
doing variations, and as it proceedes it’s much like writing a
character. The character develops as you write the story, and
the music too develops in terms of the characters,” says
Tom.

The voices were recorded in a New York City studio. ZBS
worked mostly with members of Mabou Mines, an
experimental theater group.

The story Tom eventually developed for the film came
from Ruby's pursuit of a mysterious media-controlling force
called the Black Star.

"We still wanted to bring in the media, because I find the
electronic media — television especially — as something so
incredibly powerful that no one really knows what its doing,
or what the potential for it to do is,” Tom says,

“I think it's creating a whole new reality. The (Lebanon
TWA jetliner hijacking in June) is an obvious example.

“We were watching TV during the Mexican earthquake
— we usually see so little TV. It was odd suddenly seeing.
the news and the earthquake and thinking how ironic it all
is, that I'm being entertained — and it was entertaining —
by this catastrophe.

“It has nothing to do with bad people running the media
or mind control in any way, It’s just sort of an extension of
the way people have become consumers. The malls really
are an extension of the television set. There it is, all the stuff
that you see on TV. They work hand-in-hand. That
fascinates me.”

Even while addressing serious issues, Ruby doesn't forget
the playfulness that marks the work of ZBS.

“A couple of my favorite episodes deal with two of the
major middle-class unspoken worries — farting and
boogers,” says Phoenix.

They took me to the studio to play some of the new
Ruby episodes. Sucessfully hidden under the seat of the
studio chair Tom pointed me to was the whoopie cushion
used to replicate flatulance.

I go laughs, reminding me not to take all this too
seriously.

"We talked to (NPR) about it and assured them we didn’t
slip any real ones in there. But boy, you sure can make them
sound pretty real with this thing,” Tom says, through a
relaxed high-pitched giggle.

The boogers came up in a childrens’ “holovision” show in
Ruby called “The Digital Dentist.” It was inspired by Tom's
disgust after being asked to judge a bad batch of children’s
radio scripts for a contest.

He intended to submit a radio play about boogers to the
contest under the name of a child in the neighborhood, but
missed the deadline. Instead, it became part of Ruby.

“The Boogerman comes from all those boogers that are
stuck under countertops and things like that. Through
radiation and mutation, they turn into this Boogerman. ‘Pick,
pick; flick, flick,’ goes the chorus.”

The APPARENT SILLINESS piays a more
important role than mere laughs. Tom explains it with an
anectode from an early ZBS radio drama, The Fourth Tower
of Inverness, which is often rebroadcast on college stations,

After not hearing the series for several years, he came
across it while listening to WRPI one night. Not
remembering the specifics of the episode, he quickly got
involved listening to the story. Suddenly, an actor playing a
character with a peculiar accent started to crack up laughing,
a device that found its way into several episodes.

“(Another character) goes right on and says, ‘Well, in
other words Dr. Mazulla, what you're trying to say . It
was like you were sitting there looking at the radio (he
grimaces in mock shock and confusion) and then listen as
they went right back into the story. You were drawn right
back into it again, which is exactly why those things were
left

“it’s sort of an old Brechtian technique. Bertolt Brecht
never liked the idea of people getting so involved that they
couldn't think, where it numbed your brain and you were so
involved emotionally.

“He liked the idea that you could sit back. He even set

story. I call it “The Big Deal.” 7

some plays in boxing rings, with ropes and everything, with
actors in the center. He liked the idea that people could sit
back and drink and smoke cigars and shout — in short, have
that sort of detachment from the event like watching a sport
event. You can observe it, be involved with it and yet step
‘out of it.”

While not breaking the actors that far out of character,
Ruby induces detachment through the irreverent tone of its
dialogue, occassional lapses into alternate realities, and
quirky music, The word Bulldada arises out of that light
hearted and mocking attitude,

Bulldada is much what the word infers. It draws the
conclusion that much artistic work draws too much from the
ego if its creator and is taken far too seriously, Therefore, it
is essentially bullshit.

Produced with the idea of Bulldada in mind, Ruby delivers
the sense of irreverent detachment Brechtian technique
provides without actually interrupting action,

Long before Phoenix came up with a name for it, Bulldada
was a governing philosophy at the studio.

“The name of the studio came when we were still doing
commercial work. If you mumbled it over the phone to a
secretary, it sounded like ‘CBS’ and you could sometimes get
through to the bosses,” says Tom:

Similarly, writing credit for the series goes to Meatball
Fulton, a pen name Tom originally spawned as an “air
personality” at a commercial station in Montreal, Disc
jockeys, like weiters and other performers, take their created
personas too seriously, he explains.

ZBS also uses fictitious employees to help with
administrative work, Ken Zoan (for zen koan) handles radio
station relations, and Bruno “The Bonecrusher” Kowalski
sends nasty letters to people who don't pay their bills

ZBS's recent work was financed with grants from the New
York State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for
the Arts and NPR's Satellite Development Fund

The public funding comes because of the studio's
committment to the cutting edge of new technology, from
digital recording and binaural sound to experiments in
production, "They're not supportive of radio. They're
supporting of high techonology,” says Phoenix.

Last year, NPR broadcast The Cabinet of Dr. Fritz, a
13-week series that uses binaural, or three-dimensional
sound. It allows listeners wearing stereo headphones hear
sounds appearing behind, in front, above and below them.

The series (currently being broadcast at 10 p.m. Fridays on
WRPI) was recorded with a device named Fritz, made by
quality German microphone manufacturer Neumann, It
resembles a disembodied mannequin’s head, except for the
finely detailed ears, Inside, Fritz duplicates the human ear
canal to the cubic centimeter. Two microphones relay the
sound to a two-channel digital tape recorder.

Although the phenomena has been experimented with
since its discovery in 1896, it has found little practical use
until recently. The Fritz series is the first American series
broadcast in binaural sound.

Tom says the medium is limited for radio use, People too
lazy to read aren't likely to go to the trouble to put on
headphones to listen to the radio. However, he's negotiating,
to sell the series to book publisher Simon and Schuster to
market cassettes of some of the fritz episodes in bookstores.
“There seems to be a great market for it. Cassettes will
probably replace books because no one reads anymore.” he
says.

He hopes the cassette sales will help broaden ZBS' base of
support {rom public grants. The studio also markets cassettes
of radio series it has produced since the early 70s,

One Fritz episode, “Aura,” won NPR's Best Radio Drama
award in 1984, Two episodes of an earlier series, The Taj
Express, won best spoken arts and best radio drama awards
from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the
National Federation of Community Broadcasters.

ZBS has also been a stopping-over point for many
contemporary avant-guarde artists, Performance artist Laurie
‘Anderson, best known for her 1983 album Big Science, took
part in the studio's artist-in-residence program. Modern
composer Phillip Glass worked aut the score to his opera
Einstein on the Beach at ZBS. Poet Allen Ginsberg has
recorded there, as well as a score of unknowns,

B efore you take another bite out of

novel, dips into the core of an old

fashioned American town,
Hopewell, Kentucky, in the year 1984, ex:
ploring subtle and blatant aftereffects of
Vietnam.

Mike Dermansky

The story is told through the eyes of a
bright, athletic, 17-year-old girl, Sam
Hughes, Her father died in Vietnam before
she was born. She lives with Emmett, her
uncle. Emmett, a veteran who hasn't held a
job since coming back, has bad acne on his
face, which Sam is sure is Agent Orange
related. Sam loves, pities, and reveres Em-
met and can't leave him when her mother
moves to Virginia.

Early in the novel we see Sam is overly
curious to find out what her father was
like, Soon, she wants to know what the
war was like and why veterans like Em-
mett are having difficulty adapting to
civilian life. No one will give her straight
answers.

Emmett and other veterans meet every
morning at McDonald's for breakfast. Sam
joins him, and becomes involved with
Tom, a 35-year-old mechanic who fixes
and sells her a volkswagon. Sam spends the

night with him and finds he physically can

on meat

Neither 1 nor Mr. Schnell are raving
vegetarians campaining for animal rights
— so don’t be put off from that point of
view. The book raises many valid points
concerning the antibiotics and hormones
used today in meat préduction, and as
such, is worth reading.

No one is really surprised to hear about
the lack of meat and the over-abundance of
other assorted goodies in the processed fast
foods we all eat, but I think you will be sur-
prised to hear what happens to the meat
we buy straight from the butcher, before it
ever reaches his shelves.

MrSchnell concentrates on the drugs us-

ed daily in meat production to control
disease and promote growth — main
cattle and pigs. He also deals with the new
animal-feed technologies employed to in-
crease food efficiency and the hormonal
compounds designed to enhance growth
and manipulate reproduction.
The main question the book raises is
whether we should be afraid that the meat
we eat is actually unsafe for human con-
sumption. This is perhaps putting it a bit
too strongly, but the evidence is there to
‘suggest that our meat contains much more
than the average customer bargains for.

Readers are left to decide for
themselves, while the facts are presented
clearly and are easily understandable, even
to those of us who do not major in organic
chemistry or spend our weekends dissec:
ting flies’ eyeballs, The book certainly
opened my eyes to the pros and cons of
making money through selling meat. If
you care at all about the effect the food
you eat has on your body — or the fact
that most of the food additives benefit on-
ly the farmer's bank balance — Modern
Meat is well worth a read. a

not make love due to some mysterious
psychosomatic problem other veterans
have, They speak in the morning:

It was O.K. over there,” he said, nod-
i his head slowly. “It was the best life |
ever knew, in a way. It was really
something.”

“Emmett never said anything like that.
He said it was horrible.”

“Well, a lot of it was. But there was
things you got out of it that you just
couldn't get any other way.”

“Like what?”

“Oh, I don’t know, It’s hard to explain. It
was just the intensity of it, what you went
through together. That meant something.’

The veterans, working or umemployed,
no longer have any intensity. When Emm:
mett came back from Nam, he hung a Viet
Cong flag from the town's bell tower. We
see him crying at the last episode of
M*A*S*H, unable to sustain a relation:
ship, unwilling to confront a debt he owes
to the United States government, and
neglectful of dealing with Agent Orange.
We also see Jim Holly, a real estate agent,
who leads the vietnam veterans organiza-
tion, broken to tears when no one attends a
veterans’ dance.

Unfortunately, the novel gets a little
thick and sentimental towards the end, as
Sam gets hold of a diary her father kept in

the war. The violence described in the
diary is not-heroic, and her father's account
seems inhumane. Sam attempts to recreate
some of the horror by camping out at a
swamp and being bitten mercilessly by
mosquitoes, As she ‘denounces her father
for his actions, Emmett defends him by in-
sisting, "You can’t do what we did and be
happy about it. And nobody lets you
forget it.” They eventually travel to
Washington where they visit the Vietnam
Memorial.

Bobbie Ann Mason is at her best when
she picks little elements from today’s
culture such as a Beatles’ song released in
1984, M*A*S*H, and Jim Morrison. She
successfully echoes the past and connects it
to the present. The constant clicking of the
cable changer, the ordeal of buying a used
car, the craze of Pac Man; these bits of pop
culture which have become so familiar to
us are meshed with the context of the .
serious problem of coming to terms with
the realities of war.

tis a firm start for Ms. Mason. In Coun:
try is not a masterpiece, but has charm and
truth, Hemingway couldn't comment an
HBO or Agent Orange. It was not part of
his time, In Country poignantly reflects
upon our times, Bobbie Ann Mason's pro-
gression in contemporary literature may be

worth dibbing tabs on.

A rash of early morning burglaries,
coupled with vandalism, harrassment
and assault has left many Alumni Quad
residents thinking twice about safety
precautions and the adequacy of the
protection given them.

Six burglaries have been reported in
Alumni Quad dorms since the middle of
November. All the incidents were believ-

sororities are looking into moving
off—campus, perhaps by forming a frator-
nity row, but many obstacles must be over-
come before such a move can be made,

Barry Pollack, president of Tau Kappa
Epsilon(TKE), said “about eight to ten
fraternities and sororities are hoping to
move off—campus" next fall.

“One major problem we've had {in the
search for off—campus housing} has been
that we're going about it seperately," said

Uricentennial next year," said Patrick, ex-
plaining that it is even difficult to open a
doctor’s office in Albany.

“It’s hard to get something new started
in this city," Patrick said. He also said he
does not want to dissuade students,
however, and commented ‘it won't do any
harm in exploring the project."

Pollack said some of the fraternities and

officially granted housing on campus, with
males and females sharing a hall on Col-
onial Quad.

Pollack said fraternities may also con-
sider a “fraternity area't on campus, if
possible.

“We're looking into setting up housing
for fraternities on one of the Quads,"
Pollack said, adding that this plan had no
certainty to it,

When asked what the difference might
be between regular off—campus students
and students living in a fraternity house,
Patrick said that among other things,
“The front lawn would turn into a parking

have reported other incidents both in the
dorms and in the surrounding
neighborhood.

“I thought he was going to grab me
and throw me in the back of the car,"”
said a 22 year old female resident of
Pierce Hall after she was stopped by two
men in the Alumni Courtyard late at
night on the 19th.

‘The woman who asked that her name
not be used had returned from a lace
study session when she found she was
followed by a “brown sports car."” She
exited het car, but before she could
ascend the stairs to the dorm’s door one
of the two men approached her while
the other remained in the car with the
engine running and the lights on.

“He asked me if I wanted to share 10
or 20 cigarettes," she said adding,
“Then he reached for my arm," She
said the incident haunts her whi
studies late away from home.

I'm coming back and I see a car like that
one, it makes me wonder.

The University Police Department
(UPD) Administrative Aid Nancy Loux
said this is an isolated incident,
unrelated to a wave of burglaries which
hit the downtown quad recently. “the

descriptions don’t match," she said.

“That’s the reason we got together,”
Pollack said, adding that the group is not
well defined, but that many seem in-
terested in moving off.

Ross Abelow, president of In-
ter—Fraternity Council, said that “we are
in very basic planning stages" for frater-
nities moving to an off—campus location

“There are no set plans by anybody,"
said Abelow, adding that the fraternities
are “only thinking about it.””

Dick Patrick, City Planning Director of
Albany, said “Nobody has anything
against the idea of a fraternity row—it's
just where are you going to put it."”
“Everybody has seen ‘Animal House',””
said Patrick. “It was funny, but no one
will want to have it next to them."

Patrick suggested that the establishment
of fraternity houses would not be in viola-
tion of the city’s Grouper Law, which
limits a rental unit to no more than three
unrelated people living together.

Patrick explained that a fraternity could
be legally set up as a ‘rooming house that
could hold up to 25 people in it.”

“If you are in a commercial zone, you
would need a special use permit," he
added,

When asked where a likely place for a
fraternity house or a fraternity row would
be in Albany, Pollack answered “We

sororities are “looking to rent in the fall of
1986 [and we] are hoping to buy the
residences within two yedrs time.”
“We're looking for a place where we
would be within a mile radius ,"" Pollack

“There was a fraternity in Syracuse that
