Russell, Danes ready to wrestle with Brockport

By Marc Berman
SPORTS EDITOR

It came as an afterthought to
freshman quarterback Jeff
Russell when he decided to try out
for the Albany State football
squad this past summer,

Hl, in high school,
Russell was better known for his
wrestling talents rather than his
quarterbacking abilities, Aside
from his wrestling accolades at
Mount Pleasant High School and
Linton, he also.was a member of
Joe DeMeo’s Andirondack
‘Wrestling Club, which produced
three 1984 Olympians, including
Jeffrey Blanick, the gold-medal
winner,

So it was by great surprise when
Russell expressed interest this
summer in playing college foot-
ball.for the Danes, Jerry Baker,
Russell's football coach at Lin-
ton, spoke with Bob Ford about
the possibility, Ford followed up
that conversation by sending a let-
ter to Jeff inviting him (o training
camp inv mid-August.

Russell went into camp as one
of the few unrectuited players,
competing against nine other
quarterbacks, But that didn't
bother the Schenectady native.

Ford, their defense is well-sized

“We heard they've got a large

Women harriers beat three; remain undefeated

By Cathleen Errig

‘The Albany State women's cross coun-
try team easily surpassed Coach Ron
White's optimistic, though tentative, pre-
season prediction for a successful season
by winning their first meet last Saturday,
handily beating Bates, Middlebury, and
Williams by scores of 26-29, 26-29, and

16-40, respectively.
It was, to Coach White’s recollection,
the first victory ever by Albany State's
women against both Bates and Mid-
dlebury, and the biggest meet victory for
the Danes in his four years of coaching.
“1 am so pleased...so psyched,"
claimed the ebullient Coach White.

¥ sonal best, According to White,

women's combined time was 96:33, only
10 seconds off the University record, To
do that well this early in the season is just
phenomenal." Z

The team was led by junior Lynn
Jacobs, the transfer student from Missouri
State. Lynn clocked in at 18:49, only 5
seconds off her personal best time of
18:54, good enough to give her third place
in the overall standings behind Doras
Derhartog of Middlebury, (18:03.3), and
Kathy Kramer of Bates, (18:44). The next
finisher was Bette Dzamba, (2nd for
Albany and fourth place over-all), with an
outstanding personal best time of 18:55,
and immediately following at 18:56 was
teammate Karen Kurthy.

This gave Albany three runners finishing
in the top five positions, a key factor to
their victory. It should be noted that all
three girls turned in times of under 19
minutes, a remarkable feat for so carly in
the season,

The fourth finisher for Albany was

Other fine performances were turned in by

Coach White could not have been more
pleased with the team’s overall perfor-
mance. ‘We beat three of the best D

we're now 3-0 against cross country
powerhouses. ””

The women increased their record to 4-0
with a 15-50 victory against Skidmore Col-
lege on Tuesday. Because Skidmore's team
consisted of young, inexperienced runners,
Coach White’s strategy was for the team to

Ted Mondale,
Sonia Johnson
deride Reagan at
SASU weekend

‘By Andy Leahy
‘OsWECONIAN

Citizen's Party Presidential candidate
Sonia Johnson and Ted Mondale, son of
Democratic nominee Walter Mondale, ad-
dressed a decidedly anti-Reagan group
during a three day electoral conference
sponsored by Student Association, of the
State University this past weekend,

Representatives of various political par-
ties and lobbying groups, were on hand, as
approximately 180 students from across
the SUNY. system attended the workshops
and speeches at the Empire State Plaza,

Mondale's son spoke on behalf of the
Mondale/Ferraro campaign Sunday morn-
ing, thanking the crowd for the voter
registration campaign, which, he said he
believes, will affect the elections in favor
of the Democrats. He contended that the
unregistered citizens tend to be those most
in favor of a Mondale presidency.

Mondale lambasted President Ronald
Reagan on many issues and appealed to
the common bond of age he had with his
audience to charge that Reagan is a threat
to.“‘our future."

‘Students will pay the price, said Mon-
dale, for Reagan's unprecidented deficit
spending, adding “it is not pessimistic to
tell the truth . . . and it is defeatest to ig-
nore issues.”

“You know, they say, ‘Ronald Reagan
is such a leader?" Leader? Leading us to
what?” Mondale demanded of the
audience,

The local press covering Mondale’s
speech posed questions afterwards regar-
ding Democratic Vice Presidential can-
didate Geraldine Ferraro’s finances and
concerning the conservative hecklers who
have been disrupting Democratic cam-
paign appearances.

“"The only people with questions on her
(Ferraro’s) tax problems are the media,"
Mondale answered to applause from the
audience.

Mondale also said he believes that the
““Fritz-busters’” showed a pattern of coor-
dination and organization to their disrup-
tion of speeches, but declined to charge
that the Republican Party was behind the
effort.

Mondale conceeded that the hecklers
were within the law, but added, ‘the
limiting of debate is not what America is
all about,

Johnson, in her speech Saturday night,
attacked both major parties and expressed
hope that her party would gain popularity
with the voters.

Johnson asked the audience to shout out
things they would do if elected president,
and then told the students that they had,
more or less, just set down her platform,

Calling up Soviet leaders to propose
nuclear weapons negotiations, pulling
covert aid out of Nicaragua, moving for
the passage of the Equal Rights Amend-
ment and for military budget cuts were
among the things the audience called out,

Johnson/Bush representative Joe
Spargo took-questions from the audience
on short notice Saturday after handing out
blank voter registration forms and stress-
ing that the Republican Party is equally
committed to registering new voters,

Spargo, however, was not able to

answer questions on foreign policy because

Central Council bans ROTC
-tabling:in-Gampus-Genter -

By Heidi Gralla
News EDITOR

If ROTC wants to solicit in the Cam-
pus Center they'll need special permis-
sion, but nobody’s quite sure who they
can get it from.

SA, which governs the right to table
in the Campus Center, has decided to
deny all ROTC solici

There is no formal appeals process.
Director of Campus Life James
Doelifield said he does not recall a case
like this occuring in the past, but that it
could probably be appealed to ‘‘senior
administrators." SA President Rich
Schaffer said he thinks ROTC can ap-
peal the decision to Central Council,
SA's Supreme Court, or University
Council,

The decision to ban ROTC solicita-
tion in the Campus Center was made by
Central Council last Wednesday, after
they debated the issue for more than an
hour. The rationale behind the resolu-
tion, which passed 15 - 3 - 0, was that
SA must make a stand tthe
army's ‘discriminatory policy” of not
permitting gays and lesbians to become
commissioned officers, which most
students do upon completion of the
ROTC program.

Schaffer; one of the bill’s sponsors,
told Central Council that the army's
policy is “outright discrimination. If we
don’t pass this, we are continuing
discrimination.””

“Stop pussyfooting around here by
saying we're going to fight discrimina-
tion when its convenient,” Schaffer
demanded,

SA Vice President Suzy Auletta told
Council that the University administra-
tion has repeatedly stressed its opposi-
tion to discrimination. Yet, when faced
with this issue, Auletta said, the ad-
ministration has refused to
acknowledge any discrimination, even
though the army admits it will not per-
mit gays and lesbians 10 become com-
missioned officers,

University officials have said in the

past that the ROTC program is not
discriminatory because all students can
participate in the program,

However, SA contended in their
resolution that allowing all students to
participate isn’t enough. ‘The goal of
the vast majority of SUNYA students
when enrolling in ROTC courses would
be the attainment of a placement in the
formal commissioning program," from
which gays and lesbians are excluded,
the resolution stated.

Council members opposin,
resolution argued that the bill infringed
upon freedom of speech and that many
students depend on the ROTC program
as a means of financing their college
education.

“f don't think we should deny a
group the right to solicit just because we
don’t agree with them,’ asserted Coun-
cil member Steve Russo, who voted
against the resolution,

Council member Greg Rothschild,
who also voted against the resolution,
told Council, ‘There are people who
are benefitting from it (ROTC) and
who are in college because of it — this is
unfair to them,”

The issue first came to SA’s attention
when a student, noticing that ROTC
was tabling in the Campus Center early
last_ week, complained to SA that
ROTC should have solicitation rights
because of its ‘discriminatory
policies.””

SA had passed a bill two years ago
calling for the ROTC program to be
ousted from the campus,

Auletta told Council she hopes to put
a similar bill through University Senate
this year,

SA Director of Student Programs,
Patty Salkin, said Monday night that
she had drafted a letter to ROTC of-
ficials, informing them of Council's
decision, They have not she said, re-
quested a solicitator’s form since Coun-
cil made the decision last Wednesday,

ROTC officials could not be reached

STAFF WasTER

Making a quick visit to the SUNYA
campus, U.S. Senator. Daniel Patrick
Moynihan stressed the importance of
quality, staridardized education in his ad-
dress Saturday morning at the Convoca-
tion of the 140th anniversary of the School
of Education,

He cited the ‘Ecole Normale’ of France
as an example, stating that in order for
schools and social programs to be of real
value to a society, they must be structured
so they reach the most people in the most
effective way,

Albany's School of Education was
founded on that model as the first ‘‘nor-

or teachers college in New
York State, in 1844,

The Convocation was the last in a three
day series of events to celebrate the
school’s 140th anniversary, and included
the conferring. of honorary degrees and
awards,

In accepting a Distinguished Service to
Education Award, American Federation

) of ‘Teachers: President Albert Shanker

praised the University as ‘‘an example of
the successful combination of trade
unionism with excellence in profes-
sionalism."" Shanker is vice-president of
the AFL-CIO and has authored the weekly
column ‘Where We Stand” on education,
labor and human rights issues for the past
13 year

President of The New York Times Com-
pany foundation, Fred Hechinger, who
writes a weekly column entitled “About
Education" for The New York Times, and
who was education editor there for 10
years, received the same award as Shanker.

SUNYA President Vincent O'Leary
opened the ceremony by reminding the au-
dience that the school’s founders had on
May 7, 1844, dedicated the school to ‘‘ed-
cucating school teachers in the science of
education and the art of teaching."”

He also pointed out that the University
still holds to the school’s original commit
ment of providing a “liberal education,

The first class of the Albany Normal
School had 29 students, Its first year fun-
ding “included a $9,600 subsidy from the

years,” according to a press release from

Post picks Reagan

New York
(AP) The New York Post, stating that
“the choice before the people was never so
clearly defined,” Monday endorsed
Republican President Ronald Reagan for
re-election.

In a full-page editorial, the Post said,
“Ronald Reagan, more than any president
sincd Franklin Delano Roosevelt, has
revitalized the nation’s economy, rebuilt
its defenses and restored it to a position of
trust and respect in the world.’

For the first time since the Vietnamese
war, the newspaprer continued, “we are
enjoying record prosperity, with regularly
increasing disposable personal income and
savings, without significant inflation.””

The Post said the Democratic Party was
in disarray, “increasingly embraces isola-
tionism and advocates appeasement, runn-
ing scared of the Soviet challenge
abroad.

Tt concluded, ‘“‘the choice between
Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale is a
choice between optimism and defeatism,
between divisiveness and compromise, bet-
ween growth and decline.’”

The ruling by U.S, District Judge Pierre

would raise issues about both the conduct
of military leaders during the Vietnam war
and of news reporting methods. It is
scheduled for Oct. 9 at U.S. District Court

CBS had argued that the suit should be
dismissed before trial because the charge in
its documentary clearly was true and
because Westmoreland had failed to show
that the network broadcast the show with
“malice,” as required in libel suits involy-

Q:What' early feminist is the only
woman to have been placed on a piece of
United States currency? What did the right
answer mean to a group of five people last
‘Sunday?

A:Susan B. Anthony, of course, and it
meant that Jon Drucker, John Giarrusso,
Marc. Klaiman, Josh Madlin, and Noah
Madlin won Telethon '85’s first event, a
Trivial Pursuit tournament.

Telethon "85 co-chair Eileen Shapiro
said, ‘the other team knew they had won
even before the guy had finished reading
the question,” in an interview Monday
night.

Eric Dorf, Shapiro's co-chair, said the
event brought in about $185 in team fees
and that 39 teams played. The first place
team won two dinner certificates for two
persons at Villa Roma and Sidewinder,
both in Crossgates mall, Dorf said.

Each member of the second place team,
Todd Cherches,Robert Glickman, and
Mike Endler, won a copy of How To Win
At Trivial Pursuit, The third team, Robin
Miller, Adam Kaplan, John White and
Karen Parganent, shared a box of Dunkin
Donut Munchkins, Dorf said.

“We've always had an event in
September,” Shapiro said, adding, ‘‘com-
pared to past years this one has made a lot
more money.'’

“It got everyone really psyched, it got
everyone really hyped on Telethon,”
Shapiro said.

One of the tournament's organizers,
Paul Arzooman, said that the Genus Edi-
tion and the Baby Boomer Edition of
Trivial pursuit were both used in the tour-
nament. Arzooman also said a faculty
student tournament was under considera-
tion for the future, since the tournament
had been so successful.

No final decision has been made as to
what organizations Telethon '85 will work
for this year.

Some of the groups being considered,
according to Dorf, are “Camp Good Days
and Special Times," a camp for children
suffering from cancer, and the Drakeland
Day Care center, which services minority
and disadvantaged children from single
parent households.

Two groups sponsored last year,

‘realistic’ arms
reductions with
the Soviets

(AP) President Reagan stepped into the
‘role of peacemaker Monday in his
speech to the United Nations General
Assembly, where he discussed relation-
ships with the Soviets and the recent

tack on the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon.

Reagan, reaching out to the Soviet
Union in this election year, is proposing
“a realistic, constructive, long-term
relationship" to reduce weapons
stockpiles and improve prospects for
world peace,

He said the United States was not on-
ly ready to reach an accommodation
with Moscow, but was determined’ to
reduce tensions in the Middle East,
Central American, southern Africa and
other troubled regions in the world —
and he said he welcomed Soviet
cooperation.

*We recognize that there is no sane
alternative to negotiations on arms con-
trol and other issues between our two
nations," Reagan said in his speech.

Reagan, who has in the past con-
demned the Soviets as an “evil em-
pire,”” said Monday, ‘while there will
still be clear differences, there is every
reason why we should do all that is
possible to shorten that distance,

A senior U.S. official, who demand-
ed anonymity, said one measure
Reagan had in mind is to use the recent-
ly improved “‘hotline”’ between
Washington and Moscow to ‘prevent
war by miscalculation,

Telethon will also sponsor various holi-
day parties, Dorf said, as well as candy
grams and can drives on the quads.

Ryan said the popular ‘Afternoon at
the Bars," which allows a student to buy a
book of tickets for drinks at Albany bar:
would probably be held next semester.

“There are many ideas germinating,
said Dorf, ‘We can't do them all, but we
would like to do as many as possible. We
have a great, great staff and we're all very
enthusiast a

said Robert Levitt, a Student Action Com-
mittee member who worked at W.T.’s, ad-
ding that the waitresses and bouncers in
each bar were asked to help out in the
registration process,

John Seyour, co-vice chair of the Stu-
dent Action Committee, said that the
registration efforts were primarily targeted
at the difficult to reach off-campus
students.

Many people were already registered,
said Levitt, adding, ‘it was almost’ like
beating a dead dog.

“It's a great awareness thing,” said
Seymour. ‘Conversation in the bars was
focused on politics,"" he noted.

“The numbers weren't staggering," said
Gawley, but “this (tabling in bars) will be
done again.”

* Gawley noted that the event drew heavy
media coverage, including camera teams
from local TY stations,

The Student Action Committee, Gawley
estimates, registered approximately 3,500
students to vote, including close to 2,500
from freshman orientation,

Between 40 and 50 percent of SUNYA's
undergraduate population is registered to
vote, Gawley said, adding that he hopes
‘well above 50 percent"” of these students
to turn out on Election Day.

‘On November 6, according to Gawley,
student volunteers will be going door-to-
door on campus to encourage students to

Professor Wililam Kennedy

He begins a tour of Europe this month.

Spotlight on Kennedy examines
the writer, his city, his institute

By Mike Taubleb

SUNYA's Pulitzer prize winn-
ing author William Kennedy has

put the city ‘of Albany on the
literary map, drawing a lot of at-
tention to himself and bringing
some well-known writers to the
campus.

Kennedy's Ironweed, for which
he won the Pulitzer prize, has
been listed on the New York
‘Times Best Seller List, and Ken-
nedy himself was the subject of a
profile in the Sunday New York
Times Magazine.

Nobel prize winner Saul
Bellow, who spoke on campus
last spring, insisted many years
ago that Kennedy deserved credit
as a first rate novelist. According
to Kennedy's close friend
Margaret Crogden, who wrote the
Sunday Times Magazine profile,
“much of the credit for bringing
Kennedy to the public’s attention
should be attributed to Saul
Bellow."?

“Literary recognition by
publishers was beyond his (Ken-
nedy's) grasp until
Bellow. . .recommended to Vik-
ing Press that they reconsider
their rejection of Kennedy's
Ir ,"” explained Crogden.

“With the subsequent choice of
Kennedy as a Pulitzer prize win
ner his star has risen to the
forefront of the literary com-
munity,” related Capital District
Humanities Program Director
Kathryn Gibson.

Since Ironweed’s publication,
Kennedy has received a full pro-
fessorship at Albany, a $264,000
grant from the MacArthur Grant,

Soon after winning the MacAr-
thur award, Kennedy, along with
SUNYA English professor Tom
‘Smith, lain down the foundation
for the Writer’s Institute at
Albany, which was funded by
$15,000 from the MacArthur
Foundation, and a $15,000 grant
from SUNYA.

“The plan was to bring well
known writers to guest lecture at
SUNYA to enhance the literary
climate in this campus,” Smith
said. Saul Bellow was brought to
campus last May to inaugurate

. the institute,

The original institute was
replaced and enlarged by the New
York State Writer's Institute
created in September by Gover-
nor Mario Cuomo's signature
during a ceremony in SUNYA’s
Alumni house.

The bill, inaugurating the In-
stitute with $100,000, had been
introduced by Manhattan
Assemblyman William
Passanante.

School of Education garners $11 .8Min contracts

By James Geraci

SUNYA’s prowess in educational
research has netted it the two largest con-

racts that this institution has ever received

‘The grants, totalling $11.8 million
dollars, will allow the School of Educa-
tion, now celebrating its 140th anniver-
sary, to evaluate the educational systems in
African, Asian, Middle Eastern and the
Carribean countries, according to Educa-
tion Dean Robert H. Koff,

The larger contract, totalling $7.1
million dollars, was the result of negotia-
tions between SUNYA and the govern-
ment of Indonesia, As part of the pro-
gram, SUNYA has committed itself to
provide educational research and recom-
mendations on programs in Indonesia,
Koff said.

Greater access to the entire SUNY
system will be made available to Indone-
sian graduate students, as well, Koff
noted. He said SUNYA received the con-
tract in part because, “‘the SUNY system
has the capacity to do many things that the
Indonesian government wouldn't get from
many other systems."” The primary reason
SUNYA was awarded the grant was the
recognition the school has received for its
educational research program.

The other contract, worth approximate-
ly $4.7 million, was awarded to SUNYA
by the United States Agency for Interna-
tional Development(AID), Koff said.
Albany’s contract was part of a $30
million federal grant from AID to a con-
sortium of colleges, led by Florida State
University, to evaluate the educational

SUNY students working abroad, “Many

Panelists say women of color face

additional hardships in white world

By Lesile Chait

"“Bver since slavery, they (black women)
have been sexually exploited by white men,
through rape or forced sexual services,””
asserted Druis Knowles, a commissioner of
Budget Staff officer for the state.

Women in today's society face many
cultural and economic barriers. Last
Wednesday, four panelists outlined the ad-
ditional hardships women of color face in
the world.

Black women, according to Knowles,
have always faced problems both as
women and as blacks.

Even on the slave ships to the’ New
World, black women were treated dif-
ferently, although, she said women had
more freedom “*because they were mothers
and. . . because they were females — they
had the sailors lusting after them,’
Knowles explained.

The forum, entitled “Women of Color:
Are Their Safety Issues Different),""
discussed both historical and current pro-
blems women of color are often faced
with,

Knowles, quoting from Gerta Ladner,
author of the book Black Women in White
America, said that *
always been more conscious of and more
handicapped by race and sex oppression.
They have been subjected to all the restric-
tions against blacks and to those against
women, In no area of life have they been
permitted to attain higher levels of status
than white women,’

There are two perceptions of black
women, according to Knowles. The
matriarch, and the docile woman.

‘The matriarch is in control of things,
“she calls the shots, and the men are
powerless," Knowles explained,

The docile woman, said Knowles, is a
complete opposite to the matriarch and is
submissive, passive and supportive of her
man,

Knowles went on to mention four other
types of women, The mommy,’ the pro-
miscuous woman, who has no set morals
or values, the superwoman, who Knowles
said she considers herself to be, is
educated, works, has a family, and is sup-
portive. The fourth, the sapphire woman,
knows what she wants and she knows she's

lack women have

g00d, said Knowles,

‘The main thing that all these types of
women have in common is that they all
have to “walk a thin line when dealing
with their personal safety,” according tor
Knowles.

New York State Affirmative Action of-
ficer Marita Vega read a definition of sex-
ual harassment from the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, which stated that sexual harass-
ment ‘any unwanted or unwelcomed
sexual advance, whether it be physical or
verbal,"”

Vega said that aside from physical safe-
ty, it is important to consider emotional
safety as well.

‘As an example, Vega cited the fact that
many people, of all races, do not take
evening courses because of safety
concerns.

Vega said there are three major ways to
limit sexual harassment, First, she said,
women should become clear about their
roles in a given situation. Women should
never let anyone take advantage of them,
she said, and they should always be firm
and in control of themselves,

Second, said Vega, women should be
confident and should never walk with ner-
vous expressions on their faces, as this may
invite attacks.

Third, Vega said, women need to be
assertive. “Know what your rights are. If
someone does something to you, don’t feel
that you have to tolerate it, Take action,”
said Vega,

Black women do face unique safety pro-
blems, asserted Laurie Midgette, a junior
at SUNYA. ‘‘As a black woman student
on this campus, there is an unmistakable
difference between violence that may hap-
pen to the white woman student as com-
pared to violence against the black woman

Midgette went on to say that ‘‘as a black
woman student, I feel it is frustrating go-
ing through all the red-tape and finding
that nothing is being done.”

Women of color, the panelists urg
must be aware of what is happening in
their environment, Sexual harassment,
they said, takes both subtle and obvious
forms, and can be found in almost any
situation, a

SUNY campuses will be used to provide

bbe participating in highly
specialized, short training programs, Koff
explained, adding, “The State of New
York benefits because these students have
their tuition paid, and they receive a
sizeable stipend, so they are expending
these resources in the state,

SUNYA Education Professor Douglas
Windham has been named associate direc-
tor of the consortium in the AID contract.
Windham, who is also Albany's Institu-
tional Coordinator of the contract, is
already doing research in Yemen, Koff
said.

SUNYA Education Professor David
Chapman, who is also the Associate In-
stitutional Coordinator, said that, at this

, sector assessments” in the various

design, training, and disseminating infor-
mation about project activities among the
countries involved, according to
Chapman,

Koff expressed the important benefits
that both contracts have for. the whole
SUNY system, including international
development oppertunities for SUNY, the
faculty, and the students, ‘The contracts
will provide, Koff said, a display of the
depth of resources of the SUNY system, as
well as financial benefits,

“We are sending overseas a variety of
faculty in a number of areas- from
Agriculture and Technical on down the
Ain explained Koff. ‘Obviously,
SUNY-Albany doesn't have Agriculture
and Technical faculty or programs, but the
SUNY system does. So, in effect, we're
drawing on the resources of the SUNY
system,"” he said.

In addition, the participating govern-
ments will be better able to attain their
goals of educational and developmental
progress, as wel

“I've seen it (progress) most dramatical-
ly in this project because of the very fine
receptivity of both the embassies and host
governments toward our projects,”” Koff
said, adding, ‘‘I fell that there ‘have
(already) been some very immediate policy
reorientations and decisions based on
some of our work,"

‘The grants will help boost SUNYA’s
“‘very high credibility in the field right

Unfortunately, our current status
does not bode well for ‘the

briefly describe our status,

Currently, the average pay for
a graduate student employee is
$5,000 per academic year, The
largest salary permitted under
state guidelines is approximately
$9,000 over a twleve month
period. Thre are graduate
employees at and near the poverty
level. These low salaries make it
necessary for many of our
members to moonlight in order to.
support themselves and their
families at a subsistence level.
Furthermore, these salaries are
less than those at other major in-
stitutions of higher education.

Forum urges media to include more Hispanics

By Ilene Weinstein
STAPY WRITER

The Hispanic population in this country
is both underrepresented and falsely
represented in the media, panelists charged
at a Hispanic Heritage Week workshop
last Friday.

Just over nine percent of U.S, residents
are of Hispanic descent, but only 1.3 per-
cent of the journalists in this country are
Latino, asserted panelist Albert Cappas.

the forum, which stressed the need for
better coverage of culteral diversity by the
media, featured three panelists who
discussed and debated Hispanic participa-
tion in broadcast and print journalism.

Broadcasters would be more receptive to
minority programming if minority

backing, asserted panelist Patricia
Trowers, director of public service for
WTEN-TV in Albany, Feedback from
viewers is also important, Trowers con-
tinued, urging members of the Hispanic
community to send letters to their local
stations,

minorities to get behind the scenes,
Trowers said. People who make the d
sions in broadcasting are the producers
and the program directors, and very few of
these people are Hispanics or Blacks,
asserted Trowers. She maintained that this
is one reason “shows like A.K.A. Pablo
are produced which are questionable
representations of Hispanics.””

Cappas said Latino newspapers must
struggle just to stay in existence.

“There are 900 Latino newspapers,

magazines and journals with » combined
circulation of 4 million copies and in the
past, only 20 percent of the newspapers
and 5 percent of the magazines survive
beyond the second year,”* sald Cappas,
who is director of communications for the

interested in using the Latino media, and
the Latinos do not support their own

The media ‘‘is a business like any other
business,”’ explained Trowers.

noting that Capital District stations don't
broadcast them because “they don’t feel
there is enough of a Hispanic population
here,”

‘*Latinos in broadcasting must reach out

that the media conditions people, leaving
them with certain attitudes.

‘Latinos in broadcasting must reach out to

—Albert Cappas

During her presentation on minorities in
broadcasting, Trowers said that according
to 1980 statistics, 3.4 percent of Albany
residents are Hispanic, and 6 percent are

Black.

“These figures do not attract broad-
casters because they do not represent
dollars," she said, adding that program:
for minorities show that stations are com:
mitted to their viewers.

“There are economics in the media,”

Cappas agreed. Hispanic television pro-

grams from New York City are bein,

Trowers, She said she felt that public ac-
cess stations on cable are rarely utilized,
but should be.

It’s difficult to get people involved in
public access television, Cappas
- countered, because there are no paid posi-
it tions, For example, Cappas explained,
1S Latino public affairs series have hosts that
- do a variety of other jobs, including pro-

ducer, director, arid programming direc-
” tor, and are not paid for any of them,
while Anglo public affairs series have their
Bown paid staff.

“‘As Latinos, we are enslaved to public
service,”” Cappas charged.

‘Schools are good sources of new talent,
explained Trowers, adding that they
should make an effort to recruit Hispanics
and Blacks,

“There are a lot of resources out there,"”
in the forms of scholarships and programs
for minority students, but many of these
are not being utilized, explained Cappas.

“There is a myth that one needs creden-
tials to get into the media,’’ he sald, ad-
ding that 40 percent or more of the ex-
ecutive in the media industry have only a
high school diploma. ‘‘One needs to have
only the interest and a natural ability,"’ he
asserted.

The problem of differing languages is an
important barrier in the Hispanic media
industry, the panelist contended, adding
that media programs are usually recorded
in English to reach as broad a range of
people as possible.

‘*We must decide whether we want to
convey the message to ourselves as
Hispanics or to mainstream America "
before deciding whether to record pro-
grams in English or in Spanish, explained

Diaspora And New York Converge

he University Art Gallery's latest ex-

hibit, “New York Images: New

Directions" offers an interesting sam-
ple of the latest trend in the New York art
scene — Narrative Art. The artists in this ex:
hibit present their individual views of the
world as a method of dealing with the confu-
sion and pain they experience in the modern
world,

‘As ‘one steps off the stairs onto the second
level of the Gallery, one is immediately con-
fronted by the dark, isolated images of Peter
Drake's sanded ink drawings. The figures
seem to move through their worlds without
hope or purpose.

Past these stark black and white images
are the works of Dominic Cretara, whose
rich, colorful, traditionally realistic style of
painting, along with touches of Baroque
drama, such as the light falling on the subject

of "Raising of Lazapus,” makes his common
people in common settings take on definite
spiritual qualities. His use of impermanent
materials, such as oil painting on paper, em-
phasizes the artist's powerlessness against the
influences of the outside world. Yocheved
Weinfeld follows with her collage of robbed
portrayals of famous artistic subjects’ figures,
The figures give off a feeling of intense suf-
fering and humiliation making one question
the beauty of beauty. The use of images
from famous works of art, provides the
viewer with conflicting concepts of creation
and destruction,

The paintings of Katie Thamer are filled
with fairy-tale settings and the use of i-
lumination conveys mystical feelings in the
figures, It seems as if migration on the se-
cond level of the gallery wavers between
Weinfled’s and Thamer’s paintings.

Shakespeare At The

UNYA‘s Performing Arts

Center opened their 1984 fall

Season with a flourish this past
weekend with their revival of the past
summer's production, Such Stuff As
Dreams Are Made Of. The play hadn't
lost any of the dazzle it possessed in
August, and it's strong cast made ita
particularly fine choice to kick off the
fall seasor

John Keenan

The cast of the production included
Kathleen Donahue, Tina Krimmer,
Leesa Markbreiter, M. Susan Peck,
William Salzman, Christopher Vec-
chiarello, and director William A.
Leone. The play, composed entirely
of Shakespearean dialogues, sonnets,
songs, and soliloguies, was divided
into two acts; the first, “Lover's and

Fool's, a lighthearted romp through
such material as Romeo and
Juliet(without the balcony scene - |
was awed!) and The Taming Of The
Shrew; the second, a collection of
more sombre material, largely solilo-
quies, entitled ‘‘Crowns and
Farewells," and featuring bits from
Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, and
Henry IV. The entire production was
framed with an intriguing montage
composed of, among other things, a
scene from Twelfth Night and Sonnet
XXIV,

The highlight of Act | was the Tam-
ing of the Shrew sequence, handled
admirably and professionally by
William Salzmann and Leesa
Markbreiter, The infamous (and often
done) Kate’ scene was replayed
here,-and if it wasn’t the best I'd ever

Joni Wehrli rounds out the exhibit with
her acrylic on wood panels which borraw a
lot from 14th century Italian Renaissance
iconography. New meaning is brought to
well-known religious stories by replacing
dogs with saints. The dog in “Rescue of St,
Barbara” conveys innocence more than any
saintly image ever could. It also makes one
question the difference between man and his
best friend.

The works in the exhibit were chosen by
its curators, Corinna Ripps and Jason
Stewart, from the Alternative Museum's
slide library in New York City. This

Kathleen Donahue’s performance of
the dance in Romeo and Juliet. Direc-
tor Leone made excellent use of the
ensemble here, as he and Salzman —
shadowed in the background with the

his dry-mouthed delivery as the pale

spoken lines: Also effectively pleas-

A Comedy With

As hes Lily Tomlin. And Carl
Reiner, That this triumverate melds
s0 well together in the same motion picture,
All of Me, bodes well for those in search of a
‘good old-fashioned comedy.

Tan Spelling

S teve Martin has finally hit his stride,

All of Me is thé story of one Roger Cobb
(Steve Martin), 2.38 year-old lawyer whose
secret ambition is to be a jazz musician, Un-
fortunately, life's realities rear their ugly
heads, and idealism shifts to survival. So
Roger endeavors to marry the boss's
daughter, drop his musical interests, and
straighten out his life.

Simultaneously, Edwina Cutwater (Lily
Tomlin) is attempting to straighten out her
death. She's rich, spiteful, and a lifelong in-
valid who believes she can purchase
anything, including immortality. To carry
this out, Edwina employs a Far Eastern
Swami (Richard Libertini) to transmigrate
her soul into that of her stablehand’s
daughter (Victoria Tennant).

This odd couple's lives cross paths when
Roger receives orders to revise Edwina’s will
in order to leave her fortune to her soon to
be occupied new body. Suffice to say Roger
and Edwina less than hit it off, And when
Edwina kicks the bucket, her swami literally
follows suit. The bowl containing Edwina’s
soul plummets out a window, landing
squarely on the head of none other than
Roger Cobb,

Roger comes to, hearing a strange voice
within, and comments that his fillings must
be picking up General Hospital. No such
luck. Edwina and Roger are now two of a
kind. She controls the right side of his body;
he maintains possession of his left

The remaining two-thirds of thi
outrageously funny farce completes a plausi-
ble storyline. Roger and Edwina ultimately
lear to tolerate, cooperate, and appreciate
each other.

All of Me ought to exorcise Martin from
the box office poison label he inherited after
the commercial failures of Dead Men Don’t
Wear Plaid, Pennies From Heaven, and The
Man With Two Brains, Though last year's
disastrous Lonely Guy nearly put the last

of the dual role, Tomlin superbly develops
Edwina’s disembodied spirit, Her growth
lies, again, in Martin’s blending of’ the
characters, Even subtle variations in Tomlin’s
tone of voice complement Edwina's matur-
ing process. Despite a lack of screen time
Tomlin deftly inhabits Martin's disinclined
counterpart.

Also at the forefront of All of Me's suc-
cess are Carl Reiner and Richard Libertini,
Reiner previously guided Martin in The
Terk, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, and The
Man With Two Brains, Not only’ does
Reiner induce Martin's finest performance
here, he has, for the first time, built a
showcase of a movie. Martin's the star, but
he need not carry the burden of an entire
film; Reiner has assembled a large and
capable ensemble cast to support him,

Reiner knows movies and makes them
with a love for the art, So what if it’s not
commercial? So what if no one sees it7 If in
the past, when Reiner directed a picture, you
went in understanding that you will love it
or hate it — no middle ground existed, This
is why his collaborations with Martin are hit

Reiner demonstrates a new found adap-

cameos have enlightened Best Friends, The
In-Laws, and Unfaithfully Yours, In All of

challenging ROTG finally

OTC is being challenged on this campus, and
Student Association is. proving its worth by
leading the challenge,

Last week, Central Council pased a resolution bann-
ing ROTC from soliciting in the Campus Center (see
story, p.1). This could be the first move in a larger ef-
fort to rid this campus of ROTC once and for all.

This newspaper applauds SA and other student
groups for joining the cause.

The reasons for battling ROTC are many, but this ac-
tion was based simply on the issue of discrimination.
In the words of the resolution:

Central Council finds the RPI ROTC extension
center program at SUNYA to be violative of the
university's non-discrimination policy in that the pro-
gram discriminates én the basis of sexual or affec-
tional preference.

SA deplores the university’s non-enforcement of the
sexual preference non-discrimination policy.

+SA will not participate in discriminating against
students on the-basis of sexual preference by extending
solicitations priviledges to SUNYA’s ROTC program.

COLUMN

The policies of the U.S, armed forces and in-
telligence services are based on the myth that homosex-
uality is a psychological disorder or disease. Homosex-
uals are barred from officer training and other educa-
tional and advancement programs. If discovered, they
face a dishonorable discharge which follows them the
rest of their lives, A

ROTC also discriminates against women and racial
minorities, is economically less effective than civilian
vocational programs, is a drain on our education
dollars and, if nothing else, it exists to train people in
the art of war and the ignorant narrowmindedness of
blind nationalism, things the world can definitely do
without,

The Albany Student Press has since 1982 challenged
ROTC's discrimination. The ASP will not take adver-
tising from the military or intelligence services without
@ statement that they discriminate on the basis of sex-
ual or affectional preference.

‘We've lost thousands of dollars in advertising
because of this policy — but justice has no price.

Reagan, the dove

Once again American lives and international law
have suffered casualties. We must understand that in-
ternational law is not recognized worldwide, from
Marxist idealogy to Islamic zealots, intransigence is
encouraged. These people are quick to admit they will
use the shield of international law to traverse it.

[Ed Reines

This paradox is difficult and quite sensitive to dea.

vith. The question is how can we prevent attacks on
uiplomats and diplomatic structures by others, using
diplomatic immunity or even just plain kamikaze
drivers? The answer, unfortunately, is not quite as sim-
ple, If there should ever be a complete breakdown of in-
ternational diplomacy, the world would desolve into
anarchy and chaos and most likely extinction.

The realization of what would happen should com-
munication among nations fail, returns us to the question
stated above. The rhetoric of the Reagan administratior.
and the Republicans in Dallas seems to supply a clear and
precise solution. This includes a strengthened United

States armed forces, stronger bonds with allies, and more
sanctions against foes. A centerpiece of this philosophy is
the stress on leadership in our country. Also important is
improved respect around the world. I agree these would
be part of the solution however I cannot understand why
those that present these ideas do not follow through on
them,

President Reagan, despite the talk of the left,wing, is
not quick to push a button. He didn't do it when the
Soviets killed civilians, he didn’t do it when 249 U.S.
marines werg murdered and he won’t do it now that our
embassy has again been bombed. Reagan talks about
strong leadership and decisive judgement yet he acts as
Jimmy Carter would. The only way to gain respect for in-
ternational law is to enforce it.

‘We must serve justice. Granted killing terrorists might
involve killing future terrorists and terrorist producers
but it would be prudent. If fanatics will not play by the
recognized rules, we are not obligated to follow them.
‘The British, by allowing a Libyan diplomat (Read Ter-
rorist), who shot into a crowd killing a policewoman, to
be welcomed home unscathed as a hero, only belittled in-
ternational law further by allowing this abuse. Why is
Reagan behaving like Carter? I can’t figure it out, honest-

SA is considering a ‘Coalition Against ROTC,"
backed by extensive analysis of the abundant abuses,
lies and injustices of ROTC and the military, especially
in education.

The coalition’s goals would be the end of the
SUNYA/RPI cross-registration with RPI’s ROTC ex.
tension, working to battle the oppressive Solomon
amandment, and finally, fighting draft registration
itself.

More than fighting the military’s violation of civil
rights, the Coalition would be working to the tune of,
“They shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
neither shall they learn war anymore.”

In this day and age, learning death and destruction
serves no sane purpose. The Coalition would be striv.
ing for the reestablishment of the Peace Studies
deparetment here, learning constructive, not destruc.
tive means of resolving conflict.

On this campus, where activism and challenges to
authority have been cooling on the back burner, SA’s
initiative is a rekindling of that spirit.

Whether the administration will join this fight
against the injustice, hypocrisy and abuse of ROTC
and the military remains a question. But at least the
students have made it clear on which side they stand

ly, It’s not due to the election for he has never behaved as
his rhetoric would suggest.

Attacks by all on the security measures taken at the
embassy are absurd; an isolated building in a seni
hostile environment can never be safe. All security can do
is to serve as a deterrent. It cannot preclude the possibil
ty of an attack.

This makes ali the more humorous Mondale’s com-
ments on the bombing. Fritz, never one to get involved in
political pandering but quite aware of the "leadership
issue" stated that Reagan failed to display “strong and
assertive leadership” to protect the embassy. Now |
don’t care if your Mondale's right hand man in the AFL
CIO, that’s an obvious load of crap.

‘The point of the article is that this is a hostile worl!
with people who don’t respect international law excep!
where it protects them. And if we feel impotent unde
Reagan, imagine how we would feel with Mondale. The
guy everybody on the block used to beat up on is coming
back, owned by special interests from Aardvark:
anonymous to Zoological Zealots. So next time peopk
call Reagan a vindictive gunslinger, remember the ls
time we needed a vindictive gunslinger and didn't have
one.

From the Editor

It is very rare to come across a man like Jeff Blatnick in this day and
age ene Priced athletes. He is truly a man who has total dedica-
tion for the sport that he is now the world champion in.

Blatnick took time out of his extremely busy schedule to do an in-
terview with me. His sole worry when I was done asking questions
was whether I had enough information.

Another thing that struck me about Blatnick was that he teally
remembers alll of the little people who helped him get where he is to-
day. For instance, he is very grateful to Albany State for allowing him
to use their facilities to train in. So grateful that he held a press con-
ference on the back steps of the University Gym building.

_ I hope that you find my first crack at a sports supplement en-
joyable, but while you read it keep in mind that there are many un-
named people whom without there would be no sports supplement.

First of all there is Associate Sport Editor Dean Chang who is one
of the more competent people that you will ever come across. When
things are going wrong I always look to Dean to bail me out.

Second there is Patty Mitchell who helped me in every facet of the
production process.

I must also thank Marc Schwarz and Mark Levine. Schwarz, who
virtually invented the sports supplement, came up and got me out of
a few jams with his know how, And last but not least I would not be
here without Mark Levine who got me my start at the ASP and came
through with one of his brilliant columns once again. He may be a lit-
ue bit eccentric (if you read his column you'll see what I mean) but he

means well. :
Once again I hope you enjoy Sports September and look foward to
paket when Albany State's brand new Hall of Fame will be
featured.

CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Reggie and 1 go way back

My first memory of him is Game 7 of
the 1973 World Series against the Mets. |
was rooting for the Mets back then, and
they took a 3-2 lead back to Oakland for
Games Six and Seven. The A’s won the
sixth game, and the seventh game was
close until Jon Matlack hung a slider to
number 9, and the magnificent swing sent
the ball on a majestic flight toward the
right centerfield bleachers. Game seven,
and the Series. were history.

That was the first dinger 1 remember.
There were many more to follow, the
culmination of which came last week
with number 500, which should lock up
his spot in Cooperstown, Let's look back
at the man who has provided me with
more thrills than any of my other sports
idols, (Sorry, Mr. Gretzky)

Late in 1976, he signed his now:
heralded $3 million, 5-year contract with
the Yankees. He had been traded to the
Orioles early in the 1976 season, then
became a free agent. had a friend named
Mike back then who lived in Baltimore, a
big Orioles fan, and 1 remember talking to
him in the offseason and asking him
whether he thought Reggie could help us.

“rll tell ya, Mark,” he says. “In the
beginning of the year, he was driving me
crazy — hitting into double plays, striking
out a lot, popping up in key situations.
But when all was said and done, he had a
great year — 27 homers, 91 ribbies, .277
average, and he didn’t even have any spr-
ing training. No matter what went on off
the field, he always produced in between
the lines, Yeah, he'll help.” i

Well, The Best Team Money Could Buy

alittle impatient. By June, they had gotten
untracked a little bit, but'still weren't roll-
ing like they were capable of doing. And

nothing. My friend named Mario Orlan-
do, also known as."Oats,” signed my
junior high’ yearbook like this: "Reggie

be 3%, and that’s a lot to make up that
late in the season, especially with only
one game left against the Sox. It was the
most dramatic game I ever saw. Oats and
I were there on a school trip,

Well, Mr. October (or September, in this
case) takes a Reggie Cleveland fastball
about 450 feet into the bleachers in rign’
to win the game. We go crazy. The whol
stadium goes crazy, The ramps leading
out of the stadium are jammed with peo-
ple, and everybody is yelling “REG-GIE!
REGGIE!" I've never had so much fun
leaving a stadium.

What a game. Only Reggie.

What else can be said about the sixth
game of the World Series that year, ex-
cept that it will go down as one of the
greatest individual feats in sports hisw._?
‘Three dingers, on consecutive pitches, in
the clinching game. The last one, off of

the Yanks prospered.

tickets. It was very tasty — chocolate on
the outside, nuts and caramel inside. On-
ly 1 shouldn't have eaten it before the

In the first inning, Reggie crushes a 3-run
dinger into the bleachers, making it four
straight homers at Yankee Stadium going
back to the World Series, and five straight
going back:to.Game’5. Alll of a sudden, a
wave of Reggie bars flies on the field. I'm

Mr, October quieted Hrabosky and an
ecstatic Royals crowd by blasting one into

Yanks took Game i and beat K.C, in four.

Then there was the famous confronta:
tion with Bob Welch in Game 2 of the
World Series when Welch fired a fastball
by him with the tying and winning runs
on base in the top of the ninth. Everyone
remembers that; I remember the revenge
Reggie got in Game 6 when he took
Welch downtown to break open the
game and clinch the Series.

‘The next, year, 1979, was a tragic one

but a Bob Watson homerun ‘had given
them the lead. It's 7-5 in the seventh inn-

I'm watching him warm up, and he has

_ Ithas been a long, tiring road for Jeffrey Blatnic

By Keith Marder
‘SPORTS EDITOR

Winning a gold medal can doa lot fora son:
It can make you one of the most sought-after peo-
ple in the world; an instant household name inter-
nationally, Sounds great, right?

Wrong.

There is another side to all of this publicity, A
side most people overlook, It can take a lot out of a
person, Just ask Jeff Blatnick, who was awarded a
gold medal in the summer Olympics for his
mastery of Greco-Roman wrestling in the super-
heavyweight class,

The evening was drawing to a close, there was
one last match to wrestle, It was the super-
heavyweight division and pitted Blatnick against
‘Sweden's Thomas Johansson, Blatnick disposed of
Johansson and the long, seemingly never-ending

odyssey began.

After the formalities of being checked for drugs
and signing papers, everyone tried to get their very
‘own piece of Jeff Blatnick.

Day after day, hour after hour, if it weren't televi-
sion, it would be either radio or newspapers. If it
weren't the British Broadcasting Company, it
would be Cable News Network, It was a bag and
dng road, but a necessary one if you win a gold
medal,

At 3:10 AM, the moming after winning the gold
medal, Blatnick was picked up by a CBS limousine
and taken in for an interview. When CBS returned
him to the Olympic Village he had just enough
time to shower and catch a couple of winks before
ABC sent a limousine of their own at seven AM,

While at the ABC studio, Blatnick did an inter-
view with Kathleen Sullivan, a piece for Nightline,
and some radio spots for ABC affiliates,

“Jeez, I couldn't keep track of it," said the bleary-
eyed Blatnick, “I was interviewed at least three to
four hours a day,”

‘There were some much needed reprieves, A cou-
ple of days after the competition was over for him,
Blatnick was able to get away to Disney World
with his parents and his ailbiend. Some of his
other free time was spent watching the freestyle
wrestling competition which began two days after
the Greco-Roman was over.

Some of his other excursions included trips.to
Universal Studios and Long Beach. Although these
trips did alleviate some of the pressure one thing
was always constant. “Everytime | got back to the
village you were asked to do certain things, said
Blatnick. "But it was just nice to get away though.”

With the situation just getting worse, Blatnick
considered bailing out. Accompanied by his assis-
tant coach and another wrestler, Blatnick con-
sidered driving through Las Vegas to Minneapolis
to do some fishing to “get'away" on August 8.

“They told me | was‘nuts for jf eal said Blat-
nick. 'Ireally didn’t like the fact that I was leaving

“Jeez I couldn’t
keep track of it .. .I

was interviewed at

least three to four

hours a day.”

—Jeff Blatnick

‘They gave me their opinion and I wound up un-
packing just what I thought I'd need for the post-
Olympic tour,’

Two days later Blatnick found out that in his'
decision to stay he got much more than he|
bargained for. It was on August 10 when he was
informed he would carry the American flag in the

emg

Anin

ceremony,

Blatnick. "I'm really happy I did stay, it was
‘a once in a lifetime thing. But I was tired of
everything and I just wanted to get away because
out in Minneapolis I could relax.”

‘The duration of his stay included watching some
more freestyle wrestling, some souvenir shopping
and "Pinmania”, which is the trading of Olympic
pins with other athletes.

By choosing not to leave, Blatnick was also able
to go on the post-Olympic cross country tour. But

that too was a very tiring experience.

The tour started with a breakfast with President
Reagan. Then there was a parade which was
followed by a Congressional presentation.

‘The tour's next stop was New York for the
group. "This was the first night I really got a
chance to let loose," recalled the gold medalist. “I
stayed out all night with Albany State's own An-
drew Seras.”

But then the inevitable happened. “I got cor-
nered in a bar by a woman reporter who wanted
to do an interview with me,” said Blatnick.

Later on in the evening Blatnick found out that
he had to do yet another interview. This time it
was for the Good Morning America show. Because
of his evening activities, he went on the show
without any sleep.

‘Then came the ticker-tape parade in Manhattan.
Right after that ended, Blatuick was escorted by a
police envoy to LaGuardia Airport to take him to
Syracuse for the opening ‘ceremonies of the Empire
State Games. While at the Empire State Games,
Blatnick spoke with fellow Olympian Tim Daggett
at their opening ceremonies,

From Syracuse, Blatnick flew to Orlando, Florida,
but due to a time discrepancy he had to kill two
hours in the airport until the tour returned. At the
airport, the exhausted traveler received royal
treatment.

“The security recognized me when I got off the
plane. They asked me ‘what's the matter, why are
you lost?’ ,”" said Blatnick.

“I explained to them my situation and they
wound up treating me to a meal in a restaurant
and showing me around looking for crocodiles in
the airport pond."

terview with Olympi ‘gold

After ne his group, Blatnick went to Dallas
for a football game. During the game, Seras snuck
‘out on the field, but while the two were running
around, they missed out on something that Blat-
nick would have liked to do.

“The only thing I wish 1 knew was that we had
an opportunity to meet.Howard Cosell and the
ABC crew up in the booth and we didn't know it,”
said Blatnick. “If 1 had known it I would have lov-
ed to have done that.

After breakfast, it was on to another airplane
because Blatnick and Seras had to get back to the
Empire State Games.

“We had to go back because Andy was com-
peting and at the tine | thought I still might com-
pete. But I was really lagged out and tired and 1
decided not to. Andy went ahead and did and he
won,” said the super heavyweight.

After the Empire State Games, Blatnick came
back home unannounced, “I came back and a
friend of mine drove me home so nobody knew
when I was coming back. I wanted to keep it that
way,” said Blatnick. “| wanted to just see some
people that I wanted to see before the hoards
started hitting, and to alleviate all of the calls com-
ing into my parents. Literally, the phone was ring-
ing from about eight in the moming to ten at

mt

‘One of the people he wanted to see was his
gitlfriend. During his trek, both he and his
grilfriend had birthdays, Blatnick was able to
squeeze her into his busy schedule for a birthday
dinner.

To take care of the media and to show his ap-
preciation to Albany State for letting him use their
facilities to train for the| Olympics, Blatnick held a
press conference Augut 21 on the back stairs of
the University Gym.

His neighborhood had a party for him and then
September 9 was prodaimed “Jeff Blatnick Day"
in Niskayuna.

Now Blatnick is just trying to get his finances
together and will listen to any offer that is sent his

But as with everything else, with the promotions
comes a lot of running around, During the first
week of September,, Blatnick took a vacation in
Minnesota, On Friday he had to film a commercial
in Los Angeles, coming back to New York on
Saturday for a pone in Canton;

“What I ended up doing was flying from Min-
nesota to Los ‘ear said the jet set champion.
“I spent less than 24 hours in Los Angeles, flew
out of Los Angeles to Philadelphia, to LaGuardia
to Montreal, got picked up and had a two hour
ride to Canton to attend the wedding.”

One thing that made all of that running around
worth it, was that Blatnick got to see his friends in
a pretty secluded area. "The wedding was for my
best friend's sister, so all of my good friends were
there,” said Blatnick.

Basically, winning the gold medal has taken
away Blatnick’s private life. People are constantly
Playing games with him, They will yell his name
and not identify themselves just to see if he will
turn around.

“People have done that to me,” said Blatnick.
“They'll say, ‘Jeff,’ and I'll be walking, and the in-
stinct is to turn and look to see who it is, Then 1
realize you're just letting them know who you are
and then, whoosh, you get swamped.

“A couple of times I've gotten away with it. I've
heard somebody say, ‘hey Blatnick, and 1
wouldn't react,

"I've even gone so far as when | didn't want to
be bothered, I lied. People would come up and ask
me (if I'm Jeff Blatnick) and I go, no I'm not him."

‘There was one time recently when Blatnick went
to the Little Horn and his presence was announced
over the loudspeaker and there went his evening.

Said Blatnick, “There have been times when I've
gone to the bar with somebody and not spoken to
them for two hours and that's ridiculous.

“It's great in one respect, but my friends have
their rights as well. When I'm with a friend, that
obviously means a lot to me. And I'd like to share
some time with them."

think he would have seen otherwise,
The other day while having breakfast at
Denny's, he was confronted by an old high school

bata
“1 don't know if you remember me big guy.
Mark Soprano,” said the thin man with hair,

“Holy Jeez, how you doing, Good to see you,"
said Blatnick, i

“I just want to congratulate you, Things went
pretty good for you out there," said Soprano,

“1 would have to say so,” said Blatnick.

The two went on talking about old times and

“There have been
times when I’ve
gone to the bar with
somebody and not

spoken to them for
two hours.”

—Jeff Blatnick

which of their friends are married and have kids as
well as where they both are employed.

Soprano told Blatnick that he was doing well and
then asked Blatnick about himself.

“Things are all right for me too, I just hope int?

Blatnick does see some advantages to all of this get better if things work out and I'm smart wi
publicity. He is now seeing friends that he doesn’t | them. Hopefully, I can make all of these things last

for a while," said Blatnick,

10 then said, ‘Hey, why not. You worked
for it. I'm sure you weren't thinking about all of
the niceties you have now, then."

Niceties? Mr, Soprano, if you ever knew,

But as Soprano walked away, he uttered a few
words of encouragement to Blatnick, "Keep riding
that wave, I tell you,"

It was inddent ich as these that promy
Blatnick to say, “I see a lot people now that 1
haven't seen in’a real long time, it’s nice.

“You go through that time when you get out of
high schoo! when you wonder if you'll ever see
somebody again — and you usually don't.

“And then when you do, you have pro-
-crastinated so long that the feeling is questionable
over what kind of friendship you have. This is
kind of neat, seeing all of these people come out,
and it hasn't been too long,” said Blatnick.

But perhaps the most incredible part of this
whole story is that Blatnick has kept both feet on
the ground and a level head throughout this whole
commotion,

“1 don't look at it as a fantasy, it’s just people's
perception of me has I've been the
same for the last few years, I haven't changed a bit
yet, I'm hoping that it won't happen, | still have
the same values, The onl Ido more of now
is charity work since all ka sudden charity people
‘want me to talk to them. It's amazing how many
sity people aot te toy a > thea I try to
align myself with cancer organizations as much as
possible.” Blatnick suffered from Hodgkin's
Disease until he overcame it,in 1982,

“t's just like a cold," said Blatnick. “If you have
it, you want to get rid of it."

Every, plece of mail he has received was
answered personally.

“I've put out over 100 pieces of handwritten mail
in three days," said Blatnick.

What does the future hold for Jeff Blatnick?

“| hope to continue speaking engagements and
pursue different business endeavors,”

Believe it or not, Blatnick said, "I want to start
training again. | really miss it."

to protect the writer. So here are

ndy's unadulterated predictions for the'84

AFC EAST
Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins’ killer bee defense should

Marino to Mark Duper show. The Dolphins’
running game isn’t the fastest or flashiest in
ithe NFL, but Andra Franklin should pro-
vide the necessary power up the middle and
Tony Nathan should provide sufficient out:
side speed. Even if they aren't keyed up for
levery game, the Dolphins are strong enough
to overpower the rest of the mediocre AFC
East.

New England Patriots

If anybody is going to challenge Miami, it
Iwill be the Patriots. Tony Collins gives the
Patriots a strong running attack which
should set up the Patriots’ passing show star-
ting Steve Grogan, Stanley Morgan, and
number 1 pick in the draft, Irving Fryar. The
Patriots’ defense is the question mark if
defensive end Kenneth Sims can't stay
healthy. If he can remain injury-free, the
Patriots’ defense will be strong because their
linebacking and secondary look good. If
Miami relaxes too much in 1984, the Patriots

Overall, the Colts should improve a slight
bit.

New York Jets

The Jets will not fare well in 1984 due to
Bthe lack of a quarterback and depth. Even
though Joe Walton is hoping that Ken

§ O'Brien will be another Dan Marino, in all
likelihood he will not be. The Jets are hoping
ithat Freeman McNeil will stay healthy
because McNell's injury was a big reason for
the Jets’ dismal season in 1983. Also, maybe,
just maybe. the Jets will start to throw the

B ball downfield to tHeir speedy receivers in-

I) stead of throwing fiveyard passes to Bruce

B Harper. The Jets’ defensive line, linebacking
‘and McNeil should win a few games for the
Jets, but I hope the Jets are going to find a
teal head coach one of these days.

Buffalo Bills

B Without Joe Cribbs, the Bills are in deep
water. Now opposing defenses can key in on

B the Bills’ passing game. The Bills’ defense is
not only mediocre but getting older. And if
the Bills fans get bored. watching the Bills
play, they could always look out the window
and watch the snow fall.

Picking the winner of this division is like
picking the lesser of four evils. However,
= Cincinatti looks like the winner. The key to
the Bengals’ success is veteran quarterback

! Ken Anderson, If Anderson stays healthy,
§ the Bengals will be tough because Anderson:

[ise fits. The B

sive line which should make the Bengals’
mediocre running game enough of a factor to
set up Anderson's passing game. All aspects
of the Bengals’ defense look strong, However
1 must reiterate the importance of Ken
Anderson staying healthy because if the
Bengals have to use Turk Schonert, the
Bengals will go nowhere.

Houston Oilers

‘The Oilers might surprise a few people in
1984, Although not a playoff team, Houston
has made some marked improvements in:
cluding the acquisition of quarterback War-
ren Moon. The Oilers have a strong offen-
sive line and a strong running game a la Earl
Campbell. The Oilers’ defense is what needs
the improvement. Safety Mike Reinfeld is
returning from an injury which should give
the Oilers’ defense a boost. Overall, the
Oilers’ powerful offense should keep the
Oilers about .500.

Pittsburgh Steelers

If Pittsburgh thinks they've helped their of-
fense by acquiring the highly overrated
David Woodley, they've got another thing
coming, Also, their offensive line and runn:
ing game is a depressing sight to watch.
Their defense is okay, but they rely too
much on big plays that will not come in
1984. In fact, the Steelers will not get much
of anything in 1984.

Cleveland Browns

The only strong point on Cleveland is
their linebacking. The rest of the Browns is
mediocre or worse, including their quarter.
back. I wouldn't be surprised to see “Mr.
Nice Guy” Sam Rutigliano to be looking for
a new job.

AFC WEST
Los Angeles Raiders

I can't pick anybody to finish ahead of the
champs until it has been proven that they
can be beaten. One prediction though - the
Raiders will win the Super Bow again - no
doubt about it

San Diego Chargers

Pete johnson will not help the Chargers
this year, but what will help them is their
much improved defense. If San Diego's
defense does improve. they will go to the
playofis because we all know what Dan Fouts
and company can do,

Denver Broncos

John Elway has the quarterbacking job all
to himself and Denver's playoff hopes will
rest with him. The Broncos lack a strong
running game and a middle linebacker. but if
Elway has a halfdecent year the Broncos
should be around .500 or even a little bit
better.

Seattle Seahawks

What,a difference a year makes. In 1983,
the Seahawks were a fluke, plain and simple.
In 1984, opposing teams will all be psyched
for the Seahawks and most teams will have
their way with this overrated. bunch of
Cinderellas who call themselves contenders.

Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City could have been a force in
1984, but for some reason decided to destroy
their secondary, The Chiefs might win a few
games on the Bill Kenney to Carlos Carson

The New York Jets’ success this season will depend on star running back

Freeman McNeil staying healthy.

NFC EAST
Washington Redskins

The Redskins’ only weakness may be their
running game as they found out against the
Raiders last year. The Redskins could use a
running back with some outside speed, Even
with this slight weakness, all the Redskins
really have to worry about is preparing for
the Raiders in the Super Bowl again, Well,
muybe the Redskins should be aware of the
49ers, but if the Redskins concentrate they
will be representing the NFC in the Super
Bow.

St. Louis Cardinals

Well, the Cardinals’ time has finally come.
Neil Lomax isa fine quarterback with all-pro
capabilities. The question mark on the Car-
dinals is their cfizave line which in 1983
gave Lomax about as much protection as did
the warnings about ice gave the Titanic. The
Cardinals’ defense looked very strong in
1983 and should get even stronger in 1984,
However, if the offensive line can give
Lomax some protection the Cardinals might
be rewarded with a playoff spot. One thing
though - I hope the Cardinals find
themselves a real kicker, I think Nel
O'Donoghue should seriously think about
getting a job on the Dallas Cowgirls kickline.

Dallas Cowboys

Sorry America. Your team is going down”
the tubes. The Cowboys’ defense is aging ,

and is just about ready to break down. Now
there is a quarterback controversy, Whoever
wins - the Cowboys lose. Gary Hogeboom is
inexperienced, Danny White is overrated.
The Cowboys’ receivers and Tony Dorsett
hould keep the Cowboys at about ,500 and
lust ahead of the Giants and Eagles, But

America should think about joining the
Redskins or Raiders bandwagon.

New York Giants

Well, it's about time the Giants got it
through their thick heads that Phil Simms
should be starting quarterback. However the
Giants’ running game and offensive line is so
pathetic that Phil Simms can only make so
much of a difference, The only thing that
keeps the Giants’ defense respectable is
Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson, Maybe
if the Giant pee stop buying tickets, Giants
management will go out and really try to im-
prove their football team. But as long as
Giants Stadium stays sold out every game,
Giant fans will have to put up with inep-
titude for a long time to come,

Philadelphia Eagles

‘The Eagles are old, ragged and should bat:
sle Tampa Bay for the number one pick in
the 1985 NFL draft,

NFC CENTRAL
Chicago Bears

How far the Bears go in 1984 may be up to
quarterback Jim McMahon, If McMahon
has a strong year at quarterback, it will take
an enormous amount of pressure off Walter’
Payton and yes - even make him more effec-
tive-(if that ts: possible), /The Bears ‘also.

Football preview

<7
Green Bay Packers

The Packers have one of the most ex-
plosive offenses in pro football. But the key
to whether the Packers are successful is if
their pitiful defense can improve. If the
Packers can not improve their defense they
will be in a lot of trouble. But if the Packer
defense improves, the Packers might be

‘rewarded with a playoff spot

Detroit Lions

Detroit came within seconds of advancing
to the NFC championship game. However
Eddie Murray choked big time and one must
wonder what kind of enthusiasm the ‘84
Lions will go out and play with. Even with
Billy Sims, the Lions just have a below
average passing attack, and only a mediocre
defense at best. Detroit fans should enjoy the
Tigers because the Lions aren't going
anyplace.

Minnesota Vikings

Well. Bud Grant is gone and Tommy
Kramer is coming back from a bad knee.
Kramer is the only positive aspect of a weak
Viking team The defense is getting older
and will have a new coach to deal with - Les
Steckel. Good luck Mr. Steckel, you're sure
going to need it

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

‘With the acquisition of Steve DeBerg from

Denver the Bucs might improve their 1983

record of 2-14. But the Bucs should be about

4s exciting as watching Walter Mondale fish
in Minnesota.

NFC WEST
San Fransisco 49ers

‘The 49ers are the only team that will

challenge the ey, the NEC com
They're strong offensively, defensively an
feeb of the best coaches in the NFL.
And if the 49ers get luckier with pass in-
terference calls than they did a year ago, who
‘knows how far they tan go.

Atlanta Falcons

In 1983, the Falcons’ big downfall was
defense. Well. they have taken a step in the
right direction by making their first eight
draft picks defensive ones. If the defense can
improve. the Falcons will do well because
they have an explosive offense led by the
best quarterback in the NFL, Steve Bar-
tkowski. ‘The playoffs might be a year or two

off but the Falcons will surprise a few people

New Orleans Saints

Yes, the Saints have a good young defense
and yes, the Saints have George Rogers and
‘yes, the Saints came within seconds of mak-
ing the playoffs in 1983, so it’s simple. right -
the Saints will make the playoffs in 1984
wrong. First of all, the reason the Saints did
not go to the playoffs in 1983 was due to the
inability of Bum Phillips to make the right
decision at the right time, Second of all, 1
hope the Saints don't think they've really
improved themselves by acquiring Richard
Todd. Granted - Ken Stabler can't throwthe
ball over 10 yards, but after watching Todd
for many years | have come to the conclusion
that Todd is an overconfident. inconsistent
quarterback who can't handle pressure.

Los Angeles Rams

Even though the Rams beat Dallas in the
1983 NFC wildcard game the Rams showed
they weren't real contenders after their 51-7
loss to the Redskins. The Rams also lack
receiving which should put pressure on the
mediocre Vince Ferragamo. The Rams’
defense is getting older and one must wonder
how long it can hold up. Watch folks... the
Los Angeles Rams should fall faster than the
Roman Empire. 1

LETTER

Too much noise

To the Editor:

I would like to pose a question to the plant department
of the this university — Why is construction on the
podium still going on?

I stayed up in Albany this summer and was on the
podium every day for most of the summer. Although
bulldozers and construction workers were in sight every
day, why has it taken the entire summer and through into
the fall semester for the task of pulling up all the trees and
replanting new ones? ~

‘The major problem with this whole scheme is that the
noise from all the machinery buzzing around the podium
interferes with ongoing classes. Two of my classes are in
the Earth Science building, and several times my pro-
fessor has had to literally scream to be heard over the
noise of a jackhammer directly beneath the windows of
our classroom.

In addition to that, it’s rather disheartening to discover =
that going to classes is a virtual obstacle course of cir-
cumventory fences and piles of dirt. Will this construc-
tion be completed before parent's weekend or will stu-
dent's parents leave Albany convinced that their sons and
daughters are learning the fine art of bulldozer dodging?

‘Asa senior at SUNYA, I was looking forward to enjoy-
ing the fall weather on the podium before we're inun-
dated with snow and foul weather. Unfortunately, this is
going to be difficult to achieve over the din of jackham-
mers and bulldozers.

Voter turnouts

To the Editor:

Now that Albany State has become one of the leading
schools in the country in terms of voter registration, it
time that we become concerned with voter turnout. This
is a crucial year for students to emerge as a powerful
voting block. The consequences of another year of poor
student voter turnout will be evident in the detrimental
legislation that will be targeted at students. Exorbitant
tuition increases and 21 year old drinking age proposals
would be few and far between if students had the power
to turn unfavorable legislators out of office.

‘This is the first year that Albany students will be eligi-
ble to vote in their campus community in-a presidential
election year. Student leaders waged a prolonged battle to
obtain that right. In November 1980, their efforts
culminated in @ temporary injunction which granted
Albany students the right to vote in Albany.

Students must turn out in force this year.-If they do,
student influence will increase not only on a local but na-
tional level. National officials will think more seriously
before they vote to cut student aid and local officials will
think twice before they throw garbage like the grouper
law at off campus students. If we come out this year in
force it can be guaranteed that next year the political
leaders will be coming to us to ask what they can do for
us. After all these years of being ignored, we'll have plen-
ty to tell them.

‘Student Action Chair
Disappointed student

To the Editor:

I don't understand why there are no letters to the editor
anymore. I just graduated from SUNYA in May, and I'm
really disappointed to see the lack of participation in the
letters section this year. What's this school coming to
anyway?

When I was an undergrad, this page was chock full of
letters from student leaders, ordinary students and other
members of the university community. With all the issues
around this year, people should have a lot to say: the
“W", the bus fee, the SUNY athletic fee, 21 drinking
age, the elections, etc.

ls SUNYA falling in line with all those cliches about
apathy and the “‘me generation’'? Are this year’s students
so concerned about themselves that they have no urge to
speak out for what they believe? This page is the voice of
the university, and I for one am disappointed to see it fall-

ing silent.
—Peter Trevouledes

Gime commited
To the Editor:

It's a crime that they moved the Off Campus Housing
Association and exiled it all the way off to State Quad.

Letters!!!

The ASP wants letters to the editors,
columns, and political cartoons

This is your space!

Letters, columns and cartoons concerning life on and
off campus, around the world, and across the very cosmos
may be dropped off in Campus center 329. Letters should
be no more than 300 words. All submissions should be
signed and include your phone number.

‘First of all, when you live off campus, you have no
reason to go near State Quad. The Campus Center is truly
12 logical choice, no wonder the administration wanted It
moved. Whenever you are at classes you must go in the, °
vicinity of the Campus Center.

I would like to conclude by saying that moving the
OCA office to State Quad has made it totally obsolete.

Alumni user room

To the Editor:

‘A bad decision was made by SUNYA when it decided
to put a user room in State Quad. There is a much greater
need on Alumni Quad for a user room.

‘The whole reason for putting user rooms in the Quads
was to make it easier for students to use the University
Computer. The other four Quads are all within walking
distance of three large user rooms on the campus.

‘Alumni Quad is right in the heart of student housing. A
user room on Alumni would be much more useful than on
any other Quad,

Due to the distance, the phone call cost may be higher,
but Alumni has unlimited local calling which should
make the cost only nominal,

Jewish life

To the Editor:
On Saturday evening, September 22, a beautiful Torah
was donated to the Jewish student community at SUNY
Albany, by Professor and Mrs. Donald Cohen. A
beautiful Torah dedication ceremony was held followed
by traditional selichot service (preparing for the Jewish
New Year), at Chapel House, Through the Cohen's
generosity Jewish life at SUNYA will remain strong and
be greatly inspired by the Torah for a very good New

Year.

By Kristine Sauer

‘The coverage students receive for health in-
wurance includes something new this year:

lcoholics can get up to 60 outpatient visits per

for the diagnosis and treatment of their
Hisease.

Administrative Assistant Darlene Bauer said that
tudents must purchase their insurance before Oc-
jober 5, ‘‘It's a one-time sign-up only,” she said.

Report foresees six percent college fee hikes

(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE)The total cost
of attending college this school year will
increase only six percent over last year, a
new report by the College Board
concludes.

‘Over the last few years, said College
Board President George Hanford, college
costs have increases 10-tol | percent a year
as colleges boosted tuition to keep pace
with high interest rates and inflation.

The comparatively small increase in this
year's college costs marks what many ex-
perts hope is an end to the double-digit
cost increases of the last several years.

At public schools, moreover, the in-
crease amounts to only a five percent rise
over last year, making the total cost $4881
for four-year resident students, and $3998
for students at two-year schools,

Private school students aren't faring
quite as well. Costs of attending private
colleges are up seven percent over last
year, for a total cost of $9022 at four-year
schools and $7064 at two-year institutions,
the study of over 3000 schools nationwide
reveals.

Total college cos:s in the survey include
tuition and fees, books and supplies, room
and board, personal expenses, and
transportation,

While total costs will rise only six per-
cent this year, however, the study also
shows that tuition and fees will increase
cight-to-nine percent at both public and
Cn ae

Colleges may have
finally caught up with
deferred expenses.

private schools,

Students at four-year public schools, for
example, will pay average tuition and fees
of $1126, while their counterparts at
private colleges will pay an average of
$5016.

The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology will be the most expensive
school to attend this year, the survey
shows, where total costs will average
$16,130.

Bennington College in Vermont comes
in second for a total cost of $16,040,
followed by Harvard at $15,750, Princeton
at $15,625, and Barnard at $15,558.

Yale, Brandeis, Tufts, Brown and Sarah
Lawerence College, in that order, round
out the list of the ten most expensive
schools to attend.

But the College Board figures may be a
bit deceiving, pointed out Meredith Lud-
wig with the American Association of
State Colleges and Universities (AASCU),
which is conducting a similar survey for
release later this fall.

“Many schools are still involved in the
legislative process (for state funding) and
tuition and fees haven't been set yet,"” she
said,

“We expect (this year's cost increase) to
be a little less than last year's," she

speculated, probably around ‘‘six-to-eight
percent’’ when all the figures are in.

‘The cost increases of the last few years
came because colleges had put off things
like building maintenance ‘and salary in-
creases during the seventies in an effort to
hold down tuition and fees, said Kathleen
Brouder, associate director of College
Board's Scholarship Services.

This year’s curtailment of cost increases,
she added, may mean colleges have finally
caught up with such deferred expenses.

Now that inflation has subsided and i
terest rates are down, agreed AASC'
Ludwig, college costs could level off for a
few years,

But Ludwig and College Board officials
are quick to note they really aren't sure
why costs increased so little this year.
“Everybody's been saying it’s because
colleges have finally caught up with ex-
because the economy is bet-

(AP) Their critics jokingly called

Chicago Cubs, the only team in

Since 1945, when the Cubs last

Chicago has been downright

“We've come a long way, Ill

“We haven't won in lot of
years, 39 to be exact,’’ said out-
fielder Gary Matthews. ‘‘So this
is what it’s ail about. Any time
you taste the champagne in

you've done the job.”

What the Cubs did was a job

record books.

Sutcliffe, overpowering the
Pirates with a 90 mph-plus

Green, who enginéered the
Philadelphia Phillies’ 1980 NL
championship, might have stolen
this title away from his old team
by trading for former Phillies
such as Sandberg, Bowa, and out-
fielders Keith Moreland, Bob
Dernier and Matthews.

“We've still got a three-out-of-
five series to play against the San
Diego Padres,” Green said of the
NL Championship Series, which
begins Oct. 2 in Wrigley Field.
“We know that, But I want our
guys to enjoy this and our fans to
enjoy this.”

Some of the NL East's tradi-
tional powers, like the Pirates and
Phillies, might have had off-
seasons, but the Cubs are no
fluke, claimed third baseman Ron
Cey.

‘This team deserves this," he
said. ““This team has the second-
best record in baseball and the

irst pennantin 39 years

best record in the National
League. The numbers are there
and so are we.”

By Michael Skoinick
STAFF WRITER

Last Saturday’s game between
the women’s varsity soccer team
and the Division I Colgate Red
Raiders was termed as a must win
by Head Coach Amy Kidder.

In an exciting, hard-fought
contest that went into overtime,
the Danes were victorious by a
score of 2-1.

The team came into this impor-
tant match in a scoring slump, not
having scored in their first three
games, Throughout the first half,
the Danes played very tightly on
offense but also played excellent
defense, Scoring opportunities
were rare for both sides
goaltender Maureen Keller, pl
ing with an injured hand, played
one of her best games this year,

Early in the second half, Col-
gate got on the board when Linda
Cosale netted a ball just out of
reach of a leaping Keller. The
Danes regrouped and struck right
back at 3:16 of the second half
when Susan Frost set up freshman
Mary Dulkis for the tying goal,
“It was just a great feed from
Susan, and I was able to beat their
goalie on the left side,This goal

lifted a big monkey off our backs
and made us more determined to
score again.”

The remainder of regulation
was a close affair with Col
getting some good oppertunities
with Keller making the crucial]
saves,

The game went into overtime
which consists of two ten-minute]
periods. The Danes struck quickly}
into the first overtime as Joanna]
Lazarides scored with an assis
from Co-Captain Dana Stam ai
4:51 into the first overtime
Lazarides explained, ‘“Dana beat
the two defenders and she cro:

shot.”? The remainder of the over:
time period was also tigtit but thq

“We'll give them a run for their

jorious against Binghamton, defeating the

Women spikers take seven
of first nine matches

By Doug Israel

Tt was a disappointing end to a great
season last year, when the Albany State
women’s volleyball team was eliminated in
the opening round of the NCAA cham-
pionships. This came after a regular season
marked by a record of 36-3. The playoff
loss was especially heartbreaking as it
came against big rival Brockport. In a best
of five series that went to a decisive fifth
game the Danes lost by a score of three
points.

Fortunately though, Coach Pat Dwyer is
not one to dwell on past disappointments.
He prefers to look at the team’s season
record as an indication of this coming
year, And indeed the team is already off to
a fast start. After one week of play they
already have a record of 7-2. The season
began last Wednesday when Albany beat
SKidmore in straight games by scores of
15-7, 15-12, and 15-9, On Friday the Great
Dane Tournament began and Albany
started off in true fashion beating
Binghamton 15-9 and 16-14. The tourna-
ment continued early Saturday morning
when the Danes were scheduled to play
Pace, The team got a break when Pace
didn't show up and Albany was given two
victories, But the furlough didn’t last long
when they took on St. Lawrence next. In a
grueling match that saw Albany take the
first game of the best of three series, but
then lose the second, the Danes came up

victorious with a 15-2 win in the decisive
third game.

Unfortunately the team’s luck ran out in
the final matchup of the round-robin tour-
nament. Brooklyn won the first game 15-3.
Albany came back in the second with a
15-11 victory but lost the final game 14-16.
This left a three-way tie for the first place
with Brooklyn, Binghamton and Albany.
Only the first two teams could advance to
the elimination round. Brooklyn was plac-
ed first because of the decisiveness of its
victories, Albany and Binghamton played
one game for second. The Danes won 15-0.
So the team advanced to the quarterfinals,
They avenged last season by beating
Brockport 15-8, 15-5, They then beat
Ithaca 2-15, 15-5, 15-13

By this time it was 9:00 P.M, and the
Danes were extremely tired. But they
played Colgate as well as they could and
looked strong despite losses of 5-15 and
415,

‘Overall the team looks to do even better
than last season,

Dwyer added, ‘We have a really young
team with no seniors, This is the best crop
of freshmen I've ever seen." When .sked
about the teams goals for this season he
replied, ‘To play as well as we-can as a
team and as a result make this year an en-
Joyable experience: The winning will
follow."” [a]

pits the mightly fall, they fall hard:-— fell ntl to Piccardelli and Marx, 6 - 1,

But when the mighty rise back up, they rise
higher than they were before. Such is the
case for coach Jim Serbalik’s Albany State
netwomen who were thrashed Friday
night, 9- 0 by Middlebury only to come
back on Saturday to beat a tough Platt-
sburgh squad 6-3 to up their overall
record to 3 - 1.

The Danes were cruising along
undefeated, playing fine tennis despite the
odds stacked by injury and inexperience
until they met a team of higher caliber.
Serbalik’s squad was no match for the
highly regarded ‘team from Middlebury.
However, despite missing three singles
players, the netwomen gave Middlebury a
run for their money although the score was
not indicative.

In first singles, Liz Whelch topped Deb
Leffe, 6 - 4, 6 - 3, to set the tone for the
day. Jan Ondautyc took Gerri Chiodo,
6-3, 6-2, in a record singles match and
Bess Cromwell bested Helen Tishler, 6 - 1,
6- 2, to put Albany in a hole they would
never climb out of,

The singles rout continued as Nancy
Forbes fell, 6 - 2, 6 - 1, to Lindsay Marx;
Lisa Valens was overpowered by Cindy
Smith, 6-3, 6-1; and Patti Riccardelli
handled Nina Cheung, 6 - 1, 6 - 1.

The doubles matched provided a little
more excitement despite the fact that
Albany had already been mathinatically
defeated. The first doubles duo of Leffe
and Chiodo fought valiantly against On-
dautyc and Smith before succumbing by 8
score of 7- 4, 6 - 7, 7-6. In another ex-
cellent match, Forbes and Tishler teamed

Realistic Coach Serbalik summed up the
action honestly, ‘It was good: for the girls
to see a better caliber of tennis to keep
them hungry. We were without three of
our singles (Ellen Yun, Betsy Aronin,
Ellen Katz) and were faced with a very well
organized team. I think the match made us
a better squad.”’

‘As Coach Serbalik spoke, a better squad
appeared Saturday to take on Plattsburgh.
The travel-weary, injury-riddled shell of a
team came back to beat Plattsburgh for
their third victory against one loss, First

beating Kelly Penfield, 6 - 4, 7 - 5. Gerri

Highly ranked Dragons blank men booters, 3-0

Some of the members of the Albany
State men's soccer team weren't exactly
awed by the play of fourth-ranked Cor-
tland, which blanked the Danes, 3 - 0 this
past Saturday, And that might give a clue
to how the club felt about their own
performance.

“I wasn’t overly impressed with their

team,” said fullback Francisco Duarte),
referring to Cortland. ‘I thought we
could've beat them, We just didn’t play in-
telligent soccer."

Said the Danes’ leading scorer Tihan
Presbie, "I thought they would be better
than they were, We just didn’t play as well
as we can."’

When a player such as Presbie only
manages two shots in a game, you know

things didn’t go as planned,

Coach Bill Schieffelin blamed the mid-
field's performance. ‘The mistakes at
midfield really cost us," said the coach,
“Our midfield play hasn’t been able to
generate assistance,"

The Red Dragon defensive strategy also
had a role in shutting down the Danes’ top
scorer, who has contributed four goals and
four assists so far this year,

In last week's loss to New

capacity to run Albany's
wishbone offense effectively.
Although the Eagles weren’t the
stiffest of competition, they still
enabled Russell to gain some
valuable experience.

‘I'm glad we faced

played a tough team, I might not
have got the experience I needed.
They were big, but they weren't
well-coached."” Former NFL
player Keith Moody is in his se-

coach.

‘A sign of a poorly-coached
team is an excess of penalties.
Every time Brockport seemed to

penalty would set them
backwards. The Eagles commit-

half when the outcome was still in
doubt.

‘Albany won the toss and

normally taken by head coaches,

Ford explained, ‘The odds are

strong pass rush, Russell scrambl-

On the next play, Russell again
showed his cool by stepping up in

‘The University of Rochester, a pre-tournament
favorite, took first place in the eighth annual Great
Dane Tennis Classic last weekend, while Albany
placed seventh.

“We had a much stronger tournament this year,
adding Rhode Island, lowa, and Army,” said
Albany Head Coach Bob Lewis. ‘The tennis was
outstanding,"” Rochester, tournament champion, is
one of the top Division III teams, Army, placing
fifth, competes in Division I.

Results of the tournament, with team scores bas-
ed on the amount of victories each player ac-
cumulates, were no surprise, Scoring 25/4 points
was the University of Rochester, followed by Con-
cordia College, another predicted favorite with
22% points; William College placed third, scoring
19% points; defending champions, University of
Vermont, compiled 17 points, taking fourth place;
fifth, sixth, and seventh place went to Army(15
pts,), lowa(12%4 pts.), and Albany(94 pts.)
respectively.

Team captain, Jay Bisenberg said, ‘Tom
Schmitz did yery well, and as a team we did
alright.” Second singles Tom Schmitz put in the
best performance for The Danes, making it to the
semifinals. Schmitz lost to Pete Fayroyian of the
University of Vermont, 6-3, 6-4, The number one
doubles team of Schmitz and Dave Grossman were
defeated 6-3, 7-6 by Concordia in the semifinals,

In singles play, Grossman won his first match by
defeating Plattsburgh’s Mark Garrard 6-1, 4-6, 6-3,
but then lost to Kevin Chandler of Iowa, 6-3, 6-3,

Mike Dermansky beat Chris Petrilli of St, Michael's
College(Vt.) 7-5, 6-1, He went on to suffer a heart-
breaking loss to John Lawson of Army, 1-6, 6-1
7-6 with a tiebreaker in set three. Also making it
past round one was Mark Sanders who defeated
Steve Sirois fo Salem State College(Mass.), 6-0, 6-0.
Sanders lost to Army's Greg Schuliger,6-2, 6-1, in
the quarterfinals,

In doubles play, all three Albany duos got knock-~

ed out in the second round, After defeating Oneon-
ta, 6-1, 6-0, Dermansky and Eisenberg lost to
Rochester, the eventual champions, 6-3, 6-1. The
Mitch _ Gerber-Mark Sanders combination took
Sienna College, 6-1, 6-1, then fell to Concordia in
three sets, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2,

Lewis didn't expect the team to fare very well,
though he would have liked a few more points. “It
was really a good day with the weather great,
Lewis, “I really didn't expect them to score higher
in the ranking. There was very good competition
and it was very good experience for us, It shows us
we have a long way to go for the season."”

The quality of tennis was described by both
Lewis and Eisenberg as ‘‘outstanding’ The
number one player of the tournament was Army's
Ted Wilson, who is one of the best players in the
East. In the finals, Wilson beat Vermont's Mike
Duffy, 6-1, 6-0, Williams College's Tim Rives and

Voter sign-up drive peaks in October 4th effort

NYPIRG registration booths in New York City ‘mobbed’; Albany’s push called ‘successful’

By Rick Swanson
STAFF WRITER

While NYPIRG voter sign-up booths in
New York City were ‘‘mobbed”” with peo-
ple, tables set up in Albany were not quite
as busy during Thursday's statewide voter
registration drive,

Susan Stanler, New York City Coor-
dinator for the Public Interest Research

the response Thursday in the city to the

been ‘‘wild and amazing; | can’t get over

Noting that in Times Square alone seven
sites were ‘'mobbed with people,” Stanler
said it was ‘‘by far the largest drive I have
ever seen.””

Though the turnout in Albany did not
match New York City’s response, Albany
coordinator Reese Knorr said that Thurs-
day's drive was definitely successful.

“Things went pretty well,” Knorr said
of Albany's effort in the voter registration
drive.

NYPIRG is a non-partisan organiza-

to persuade people to register with any

Zappala, noting that elderly members of

Speakers say Berkeley protests had ironic result

By Lisa Mirabella
STAFF WAITER

As an ironic but direct result of the free speech move-
ment of the 1960's, American Universities have become
more bureaucratic and depersonalized, asserted many of
the speakers at a conference Thursday entitled ‘“Berkeley
Revisited.”

‘Thursday was the first day of the two day conference,
held at SUNYA.

Professor Larry Spence of Penn State University, a
graduate student at Berkeley in 1964, said that contrary to
what the students were fighting for, universities have

Blackout caused by
faulty safety device

By Heidi Gralla

and James O'Sullivan

A fire in a voltage switch was the cause of Tuesday
night's blackout, which left the podium and State
Quad in the dark for about an hour, starting at 8:50
p.m, according to SUNYA's Physical Plant Director
Dennis Stevens.

The fire was caused by the failure of a “fail-safe
mechanism" in a voltage switch in the Lecture Center
sub-basement. When the switch was turned on last
week, it did not lock into place properly, creating a
poor connection for the electricity to travel throug!

The damages, Stevens said, would cost physical
plant about $10,000 to repair,

Plant employees were able to restore electricity
Tuesday night by switching State Quad and the
podium to the campus’ other two power feeders.
Stevens explained that the whole campus could actual-
ly be powered by one feeder, but that the system was

become less personal and, ‘“the daily routine of a faculty
member is more like that of a corporate executive than a
professor."

Major administrative changes that came. about in
response to sit-ins and student demonstrations were
evaluated by Berkeley professor Charles Muscatine.
Muscatine had chaired a committee which, through a
report, helped make far reaching changes at schools
across the country.

The report, issued in 1966, was called ‘Education at
Berkeley," and started a trend across academia of
“reconnecting, at a deep level, (faculty members’)
research with (their) teac! (and) treating students as
individuals,” Muscatine

He credited the committee and the report for the
widespread establishment of student evaluations of facul-
ty, student membership on faculty and administrative
committees, and creating stipends for teaching assistants,

Muscatine said he was disheartened to look at what is
going on at Berkeley now, as many of the committee's
policies have been changed or discarded.

“One of the negative effects of the free speech move-
ment," he explained, ‘is that many of the ideas are
tainted with political radicalism.”

His list of discarded programs ranged from the liberal
pass/fail system that has been curbed considerably, to
voluntary faculty advisement, designed to avoid
uninspired advisors for undergraduates, which has left
10,000 Berkeley students with no advisors at all.

There were, however, many positive effects of the
movement that Muscatine, and his (then) colleague
Sheldon Wolin, now at Princeton University, mentioned,

“There was a comraderie,"" Wolin explained, ‘ta feel-
ing of belonging to something important, that people
were willing to sacrifice their time for.’” He said: that
before these developments, Berkeley ‘was a campus
without Blacks, It was a campus without Chicanos, A
campus where Orientals were seen and not heard, and
women were not considered significant.”

A different perspective came from history professor
Warren: Roberts, who said, ‘Berkeley was a paradise
when I Jeft in 1963. I was baffled by the explosion of
revolution because one could do all that one should be en-
couraged to do at a university,"” at that time,

Participants took exception to Roberts’ statement, One
Person’noted that, “it was not paradise for women who
were patted on the head and told to go make babies.’

“«’,amany of the ideas (of the
free speech movement) are
tainted with political
radicalism.”’

—Charles Muscatine

SUNYA Political Science professor Bruce Miroff was
starting his third year as an undergraduate at Berkeley
when the protests began. After two years of what Miroff
said was a ‘lousy education,” the free speech movement
gave students a vision of a “university as an immensely
exciting place...where everything could be explored and
everything was connected.”

Warning the audience that he would ‘indulge in a little
nostalgia," Miroff spoke of the ‘moral seriousness”
with which members (of the student protests) would ap-
proach political decisions, ‘'Pressure made us reason out
why it might be legitimate to break the rules...why you
boycott classes when you want better education,” he said,

The speakers said they saw the-1964 protest at Berkeley
as the beginning of a decade of important political activi-
ty, Conference organizer Anne Roberts explained,
was really an event of tremendous significance, and not

a ad
