Chapel House design unveiled
By Lisa Rizzolo
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Preliminary architectural draw-
ings of the new Chapel House have
been released by the architectural
firm designing the building, which
expects to begin construction in the
spring.
According to Ben Mendel, chief
architect of Mendel, Mesick, Cohen,
Waite, and Hall, ‘‘We are still work-
ing on the development of drawings
so we can be certain the finished pro-
duct will fulfill the requirements of
the chaplains and the students,” said
Mendel.
The most recent plan, which is be-
ing distributed for publicity pur-
poses, was received very well by
Chapel House staff members, said
Mendel.
The original Chapel house was
destroyed in a May 1985 fire.
According to Rev. Gary Kriss,
chair of Chapel House’s governing
board, the plan includes two small
“sacred places,’’ one Christian and
one Jewish, which will each have a
moveable wall that can open into a
common room for larger services; a
Kosher and non-Kosher kitchen; a
library with a fireplace; offices for
all chaplains; and additional small
meeting rooms.
Chapel House is an independent
organization that supplies religious
and supportive services for SUNYA
students and faculty.
“We share space as much as possi-
ble,”’ said Kriss. ‘There is no need
for different chapels for each
denomination. Services only take
one to one-and-one-half hours, so
the use of the space can be schedul-
ed,” said Kriss.
He added that, “There is a great
advantage to having two separate
sacred places. ..Each chapel will
have fixed symbols of worship that
can be veiled from those of the other
faiths. The Christian religion wor-
ships in many different ways but can
‘am eeremanEN er yee
Architectural site plan for the proposed new Chapel House.
still use the same symbols.”’
According to Robert Ganz, chair
of the Chapel House planning com-
mittee, “‘the committee hopes to
break ground in the, spring. Con-
struction will not take more than a
year. In Spring of 1988 [Chapel
House] should be in operation.”’
Chapel House will be built on a
site located off Perimeter Road
across from the softball fields bet-
ween the University Gym and the
Dutch Quad tennis courts.
The site is wooded and the
building’s design will take advantage
of location, said Kriss.
“The old Chapel House was
situated on a hill which was difficult
for anyone to get to, and was totally
inaccesible to the handicapped,
especially in the winter,’’ said Ganz.
According to Mendel, Chapel
House ‘‘will fit in appropriately with
the site of construction. It will be
sympathetic with, but not like the
University. A great deal of wood will
be used in construction.””
Ganz said, ‘‘The whole south wall
[of Chapel House] will be all glass,
looking out into the woods for con-
templative and meditative purposes.
All the trees that can possibly be
preserved will be.
“If the planning committee had its
way, there would be many different
rooms fin the building],’’ siad Ganz,
who met with representatives from
Student Association; University
Auxiliary Services; Jewish, catholic,
and Protestant groups; faculty; and
various off-campus faith com-
munities to develop a conceptual
plan.

University administrators are looking

the nation’s universities are not providing
quality education.
According to Everette Joseph, president
of the Student Association of the State
University (SASU), a lack of intellectual
exchange exists in classrooms because
“people on campus are concerned a lot
about careers rather than savoring the im-
portant part of college.’’
“SUNYA does a relatively good job in
preparing people for the outside world,”
said Joseph, adding that it is a difficult
task considering that a graduate will
discover many experiences that are a far
cry from college life.
Jerome Komisar, Associate Vice
Chancellor at SUNY Central, said ‘‘in the
past few decades, students have wanted to
learn skills needed to compete for labor
force entry, but now, with fewer people
entering the work force, the competition is
not as great and students feel they can af-
ford to take more liberal arts courses.””
SUNY is accommodating the shift away
from an emphasis on skills training, added
Komisar.
According to Harry Hamilton, associate
vice president for academic affairs and
dean of undergraduate studies, the Univer-
sity still has a great deal of work to do in
“improving the quality of student life out-
side the classroom.’’
University Senate President Joseph
Flynn said SUNY has already begun to
make some of the changes Boyer called for
in his report.
SUNYA has set out to improve the level
of high quality instruction — one of the
reforms Boyer calls for — ‘‘by initiating a
multi-day orientation seminar for new
faculty members, in addition to a 100-page
manual on teaching do’s and don’t’s,
which will be distributed to all faculty
members in the spring semester,”’ said
Hamilton.
The establishment of a writing center,
said Flynn, was one change made by many
colleges, including SUNYA. The writing
center, located on the first floor of the
Humanities building, offers students help
with weaknesses in their writing ability by
trained professionals. 10>

Reforms urged
Washington, D.C.
(AP) A scathing report card from the
Carnegie Foundation is certain to intensify
pressure on the nation’s colleges to im-
prove the way they teach undergraduates.
The quality of college teaching has been
largely ignored in the debate that has raged
in the 1980’s over how to improve U.S.
high schools.
The book-length critique released over
the weekend by Ernest L. Boyer, presi-
dent of the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching, could help turn
the reform spotlight onto the campuses.
Boyer, former U.S. commissioner of
education, said the nation’s 2,100 four-
year colleges are a “‘troubled institution.”
“Driven by careerism and overshadow-
ed by graduate and professional educa-
tion, many of the nation’s colleges and
universities are more successful in creden-
tialing than in providing a quality educa-
tion,” Boyer concluded.
His report, ‘‘College: The
Undergraduate Experience in America,”’ is
based on a three-year, $1 million study
that included surveys of thousands of
faculty and students and first-hand inspec-
tions of 29 campuses.
It calls on colleges to prize good
teaching and get away from the publish-or-
perish syndrome, which Boyer said in an
interview has spawned ‘‘a system of third-

Cuomo rejects debate
Montclair, CA
(AP) New York Goy. Mario Cuomo, who
debated millionaire Republican Lewis
Lehrman several times during their 1982
gubernatorial campaign, Thursday re-
jected an opportunity to do it again.
“] debated Lehrman several times in
1982 and I think they came out just fine,”
said Cuomo, according to press secretary
Martin Steadman.
The Cuomo-Lehrman debate question
came up Wednesday after an official with
Lehrman had accepted the institute’s in-

Grocery files suit
Philadelphia
(AP) A grocery chain has filed a class-

million from Beech-Nut Nutrition Corp.,
which is accused of selling millions of bot-

Attorneys for Giant Markets Inc., based
in Scranton, filed suit Wednesday in U.S.
District Court on behalf of anyone who
bought the product directly from Beech-
Nut, of Fort Washington, from October
1978 through March 1983. ;
Beech-Nut and two company officers
now on leave were indicted last week in
New York City on charges of selling
millions of bottles of sugar water labeled
as apple juice for babies,
The indictment alleged the juice was
made from concentrate the company knew
was bogus, but that Beech-Nut sold the
product to avoid losing the $3.5 million it
had spent on the concentrate.

Wednesday’s early-morning raid broke

Trustees’ decision spawns outcry
By Hillary Fink
‘STAFF WRITER
Faculty and students across the state are
putting pressure on the SUNY Board of
Trustees to have faculty and students serve
on the search committee for the new
SUNY Chancellor.
Last month, the Trustees appointed a
committee to search for a replacement for
Clifton R. Wharton, who announced he
would be resigning as Chancellor Feb. 1.
In addition, the Trustees also announc-
ed that the faculty and student represen-
43
tatives would not sit on the committee, but
on a seven-member advisory committee.
Last week, SUNYA’s University Senate
passed a resolution recommending its
Chair Donald Birn to ask Board of
Trustees chair Donald Blinken to recon-
sider the exclusion of faculty and students
from the search committee.
Another resolution passed by the Senate
asks Birn to inform faculty, staff, and
students of SUNYA of the Trustees deci-
sion and urge them to write Blinken to ask

Location of new parking
By Ilene Weinstein
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
While a new campus parking lot will
probably be constructed in the near future,
University officials are unsure where the
lot will be located.
Three possible sites, were recently
recommended by University Community
Council and are being reviewed by Vice
President for Finance and Business John
Hartigan, said Council Chair Thomas
Anderson.
Hartigan was unavailable for comment.
However, one of the three proposals,
locating the lot next to the Biology
building, has been opposed by students
and faculty from the College of Science
and Mathematics.
The three sites, listed in order of the
Council’s priority, are: one lot in the field
next to State Quad and one in a field in
proximity, but not next to, Indian Quad;
one lot in the field next to State and one in
the field next to Indian; and one lot in the
Biology field.
The three recommendations were made
shortly after an October Council meeting,
during which Biology chair Jon Jacklet
and Indian Quad Board Vice President
Peter Gumbrecht presented arguments
against the Biology field proposal, said
Anderson.
“T am pleased that the proposal to put it
out by the Biology field was the lowest
priority,”’ said College of Science and
Mathematics Dean Daniel Wulff, who also
attended the meeting.
“But, I’m not pleased about putting [a
lot] by Indian Quad,” he said. “‘That’s a
pretty area, too.””
Faculty members and graduate students
in the Biology department originally op-
‘field
posed locating the lot on the Biology field
because it is used as a recreational area by
departments members.
“It’s a place where faculty and graduate
students can interact,” said Jacklet. The
is also used by undergraduate
students from both Indian and State
Quads, he added.
Buffalo
(AP) Cheer up, procrastinators. There’s
hope for those of you who stand and
wait. ..and wait...and wait. A new
study says procrastination may be
beneficial.
Dr. Sheila M. Puffer, an assistant pro-
fessor at SUNY Buffalo School of
Management, and James T. Brakerfield,
a doctoral student, recently completed a
study on the topic: ‘‘Coping With Time
Management Problems: Dispositional
and Situational Aspects of
Procrastination.”
The object was to see how procrastina-
tion affects job performance.
One of the findings indicated that in
some work situations, procrastination
may produce positive results.
“Procrastination may be an effective
way of managing time,’’ Puffer said.
“Especially with real sticky issues.’”
Some workers are chronically
overloaded with duties, and they cannot
possibly attend to everything and must
choose tasks selectively. By pro-
Procrastination may lead
to better job performance
representation.
However, Blinken said faculty and
students will have sufficient power as part
of the advisory committee.
“The advisory committee meets with the
search committee, setting criteria, looking
at names and recommending who the can-
didates will be,” he said.
Meanwhile, the state-wide SUNY facul-
ty Senate also passed two resolutions Nov.
1, one calling for ‘‘full faculty participa-
tion in the search for chancellor’’ and the
other ‘‘to seek support of other state
systems.’’
Although members of the advisory com-
mittee cannot cast a vote in the approval of
anew chancellor, Blinken said ‘‘Hopefully
there will be a consensus of opinion, and
they will try to agree on a candidate
without an actual vote.”
Faculty and student leaders say recent
efforts to pressure the Trustees have begun
to pay off.
SUNY Faculty Senate President Joseph
Flynn said he has been told “they have
beefed up the role of the search advisory
committee and gave it serious respon-
sibilities where they will work directly with
the search committee.”
SUNYA Professor Harold Cannon, a
member of University Senate, said, ‘I
hope the report is true that the duties of
the advisory committee will be expanded
and it will be more active than when
Chancellor Wharton was selected.”
Flynn will be a member of the advisory
committee along with Everette Joseph,
president of the Student Association of the
State University (SASU).
Joseph said he felt a position on the ad-
yisory committee was inadequate because
the committee’s role in the search for past
chancellors was ‘‘next to nothing.”
“After a loud statement from students
and faculty, I think Blinken is reacting,
without question,”’ said Joseph. “
According to Blinken, the search com-
mittee will consist of trustees only, while
the advisory committee will represent all
lot debated
The increased traffic through the
Biology building from who will use the lot
was another objection raised by Jacklet.
The traffic could ‘‘interfere with biological
research being done’”’ that might include
moving of harmless radioactive materials,
said Jacklet.

crastinating on some tasks, they are forc-
ed to make choices, she explained.
Procrastination also may be an effec-
tive strategy in organizational politics.
People may conveniently forget to do
tasks so that others end up doing them,
she said. In addition, difficult problems
sometimes end up solving themselves if
acton is delayed.
In a sense, procrastination is used as a
tool to cope with on-the-job stress.
Therefore, skills in time management
relate to skills in stress management.
“Procrastinating is a self-control issue,
like smoking, alcohol and overeating,”’
said Patrick Grecco, a psychologist at the
University of Pennsylvania, which has set
up a workshop to help procrastinators
change their ways.
People with serious procrastination
problems, he said, tend to be influenced
by a desire to be perfect, a fear of failure,
a fear of success, high anxiety, depres-
sion, hostility or low self-esteem.
Grecco estimates that 5 to 20 percent
of Americans procrastinate all the time.

Advisory board serving as liason
between SA and student groups
By Duncan Shaw
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Student Association reactivated the Group Ad-
visory Board this year to better coordinate activites
of SUNYA’s SA-funded groups.
The board is now assuming some of the respon-
sibilities previously carried out by SA Programming
Director Mark Perlstein, who is now focusing more
on coordinating SA-sponsored programming
events.
Perlstein oversees the operation of the board, but
does not serve as a member.
According to board chair Ira Schoeps, the board
was created for three reasons: to serve as a mediator
between SA-funded groups and SA, to advise
groups on campus-wide policies, and to publicize
group activities.
Central Council chair Larry Hartman said the
“reactivation of the Group Advisory Board has
helped to spread out the functions of the program-
ming office.”’
The advisory board consists of 12 to 15 students
who meet with group leaders to offer them advice
and coordinate plans such as setting a date for
events and recommending possible locations and
publicity methods.
Because of budget limitations, the board is only
working with SA-funded groups at present.
Groups interested in contacting the advisory
board can make an appointment through SA’s pro-
gramming office.
According to Schoeps, the programming office
this year has a higher degree of planning, organiza-
tion, and communication. ‘‘The efficiency of this
organization has improved from the past. Mark
[Perlstein] has spread out the duties and supervised
them, which has made everything run smoother.”’
Perlstein was unavailable for comment.
SA-funded groups use the programming office to
schedule and plan events for group functions, Hart-
man said. ‘‘The Group Advisory Board serves as a
liason between the Student Association and in-
dividual groups on campus.”’
Advisory board member Jill Averill said ‘‘we are
a support group that publicizes events and that tries
to keep people involved.””
Averill added that the programming office has
recently been emphasizing large group events.
“More people go to bigger events and they are
definitely remembered by more people. This year’s
freshmen have heard of last year’s Guinness Day,
which was a huge success.’’
According to Schoeps, the board within the pro-
gramming office will continue its trend toward
larger events, although individual group events will
continue. “I see a bright future for SA-funded
events,’’ Schoeps added.
According to Central Council member Terry
Corallo, the 21-year-old alcohol purchase age has
had an affect on campus-wide activities. “I think
that it is a sad but true fact that alcohol does bring
more people out,”’ Corallo said, adding that ‘the
quad board parties have reflected this — people just
don’t come over.’’
SA Vice President Doug Tuttle said that “‘we
[SA] used to be able to have big keg parties in the
Flagroom and end up with $1,000 at the end of the
night. Now there’s a shift towards larger scale
events to get more people involved.’’
“Regardless of the drinking age, groups will have
to become more creative to be successful,” accor-
ding to Corallo. ‘‘Alcohol can’t be relied on to
draw people to events anymore.”’
Hartman said that “‘unless something goes wrong
with the programming office structure, we will con-
tinue with the way things are going, or at least some
variation of it.””
Many activities are suffering from the raised pur-
chase age, Hartman said. ‘‘Quad board parties are
having great difficulties,” Hartman said, ‘‘but I do
see good things to come. This year, I saw a really
good homecoming parade, for example.”
Hartman said “‘everything has been a matter of
planning, and this year planning has been going
very well.’? Hartman also said that advisement for
SA-funded groups has improved since “‘if a group
is having financial difficulties, then it would also
hurt SA.” As a result of the improvements in the
programming office, Hartman said that the produc-
tion of Viewpoints will be year-round instead of be-
ing annual.
Upgraded organization of the programming of-
fice will better allow it to serve as a liason between
SA and SA-funded groups and will boost school
spirit, according to Corallo. ‘‘More people will now
be able to become involved,”* according to Corallo.

seminar, complete a daily jour-
nal to gauge their personal and
gram, especially when compared
to the program offered at the
College of St. Rose.””
The seminar consisted of
speakers and a question-and-
answer session, with the au-
dience consisting of com-
munication majors from Siena
College, CSR and SUNYA.
Corallo, a communication
major, said that although at this
point she can only speak of the
Communication department,
Academic Affairs plans to
research programs in other
departments to see if they also
need a ‘‘more structured
program.”
Primary goals of Corallo’s in-
itiative are setting up a certain
amount of projects that interns
must accomplish on the job and
weekly meetings between
meetings on an individual basis
whereas SUNY [communica-
tion] students just meet on
seminar basis.”
However, David Niner, head
of the Communication part-
time internship program, said
that he sees nothing wrong with
the department’s internship pro-
gram, which is currently headed
by Dr. Alan Chartock.
“All programs should be run
like Dr. Chartock’s program,’”
he said. ‘‘There. is follow-
through and close supervision.”
In order to be qualified for
SUNYA’s internship program in
Communication, a student must
be either a junior or a senior,
and have a grade point average
of at least 2.5.
Students participating in the
professional growth, and write
both weekly reaction papers and
four book reports.
Brenda McMahon, an intern
in Chartock’s program, said
“there is no other program like
this one and it is very difficult.’”
However, Corallo said
SUNYA’s program places too
much emphasis on theory in-
stead of practice.
Corallo said she plans to work
with Roxanne Albond, a former
SUNYA student and past presi-
dent of the Communicators of
Albany State, whom she met at
WTEN’s seminar.
“Internships are so
valuable,” Albond said, adding,
“We aren’t complaining or
critizing the present program,
We just believe some changes
should be made.”” go

Aldrich takes work ethic to Business School post
By Maria Carlino
“T’m not a Rockefeller,” declared Alex-
ander Aldrich in dry monotone, ‘‘Nelson
Rockefeller was an Aldrich.”
The newly appointed Executive in
Residence at SUNYA’s School of Business
smiled warmly and commented on how his
aristocratic roots have affected his life and
livelihood.
“If anything, it makes Friday
Profile

plained Aldrich. ‘‘After
a while a known name
lasts only so far. If
anything it’s a burden.” He said he em-
pathizes with the Kennedy’s and the dif-
ficulty in coping with pressures to succeed
and produce,
Yet, despite this ‘‘added burden’’,
Aldrich’s life is marked by an impressive
history of merit and success.
A Harvard Law School graduate,
Aldrich holds a master’s degree in Public
Administration from New York Universi-
ty. He is also a former president and pro-
fessor at Long Island University’s
Brooklyn Center, and has taught at three
other New York State colleges.
Adrich remains a trustee of three
academic institutions and president of the
Associated Harvard Alumni. In addition,
he has accumulated 30 years within vary-
ing administrative positions in public
service.
“ve always worked more than full
time,’? commented the grey-haired
educator. He chuckled and pointed to a
gift from a friend, a caricature which
hangs near his office desk. ‘‘Why aren’t
you working?” reads the caption below a
serious wrinked-face sketch depicting
Aldrich.
Aldrich said he places a high priority on
work. “‘I think that’s what life is all about
... I’ve often thought what it would be like
to retire ... 1 think I would go out of my
mind,”’ he said.
A husband and father of nine children,
Aldrich resides with his family in Saratoga
Springs. Currently, he continues a private
law practice in Albany and last fall began
teaching at SUNYA. This fall, he was ap-
pointed to his current position, ‘‘I have a
strange title as ‘Executive in Residence’
and nobody knows what it is,”” he said.
In addition to teaching two courses in
Business Law, Aldrich expects to institute
a visiting fellow’s program. Patterned
after the Woodrow Wilson National
Fellowship Foundation, the program en-
tails bringing a series of leaders within
various professional fields to SUNYA’s
Business School. This will expose students
to a variety of role models and career ideas
as well as ‘‘bring new perspectives into
education .. perspectives other than
academic.’”
Aldrich said he is “‘very much impressed
with the caliber of students in the Business
School. With very few exceptions, they are
very hard working and able.’’
“It’s very good for a teacher,” he ex-
plained, adding “I don’t have to turn over

Six new officers selected by UAS board
By Chris Brady
University Auxiliary Services (UAS)
Board of Directors officers were elected
Nov. 6 at the board’s first meeting of the
semester.
The board consists of 17 students,
eight faculty members, four ad-
ministrators and one alumnus, and
decides how UAS will allocate funds for
campus-oriented events and projects
such as Mayfest, Guinness Day, Career
Day, Telethon and Torch Nite.
The newly appointed student officers
are: Michael Gusmano, chair; Mark
Neuschatz, vice chair; Paul Barnes, presi-
dent; Jeffrey Eichner, vice president;
Donna Tessler, treasurer; and Ginger La
Tourrette, secretary.
Long range plans for remodeling the
Rathskellar were a top priority at the
meeting since ‘‘the Rat took a 50 percent
loss over the previous year due to the in-
crease in the drinking age,’’ Gusmano
said.
Plans may include shifting the Rat’s
participate. This makes a great deal of
difference.”
Aldrich’s new position seems to be off
to a good start overall. Acting Dean of the
School of Business, William Holstein
described Aldrich as a ‘‘delightful addition
to the faculty.’”
Aldrich’s position is part of the expan-
ding departmental structure recently made
within the School of Business.
Within the past year, Enrico Petri was
appointed as Chair of the Accounting
Department and Ronald Forbes as Chair
of the Finance Department. Next year, a
new dean of the Business School will be
appointed.
“The old structure included areas —
there were no departments,” Holstein ex-
plained citing advantages such as strong
administrative leadership which the new
structure will bring.
Holstein feels Aldrich will be an asset to

for this year.
emphasis away from selling alcoholic
beverages, he added.
The board will also take part in the
renovation of Chapel House. ‘“We voted
to set aside money to help rebuild Chapel
House,”’ Eichner said.
Chapel House was destroyed by fire in
May 1985.
Plans to remodel the Indian Quad
cafeteria were also on the agenda.
“We basically get the same programm-
ing requests every year. We would be in-
terested in seeing new ideas,’’ said
this structure. ‘‘He is a knowledgeable and
fascinating guy with a vast array of
interests.’
Despite his background in law, Aldrich
said he considers himself ‘more a public
administrator than a lawyer.’’
“T still consider myself to be primarily a
teacher,”’ he said. ‘I would be less effec-
tive if 1 was simply an administrator.
You’re more effective as an administrator
if you’re also a teacher.”
When not working, Aldrich said he en-
joys sailing and spending time with his
children. He then smiled and pulled out a
wedding picture from his wallet. ‘“‘My
oldest just got married. . Sarah, the
youngest is 10.’”
Regarding his family life, Aldrich said,
“‘the hardest thing about it is remembering
people’s birthdays.”” But he added, “If
that’s the only problem I have then I’m
probably in good shape.’” ia)
Barnes, adding, ‘‘We want to give money
so that programs can function, but we’re
not here to totally sponsor an event.
This way we can sponsor a number of
events.”
“We basically did housekeeping’’ at
the meeting, said Gusmano, adding,
“The first meeting was an introduction
for the new members and a start for the
new year.””
“The first meeting of UAS in the past
has been [held] around this time because
of the nominating process,’’ Gusmano
said.
Board of directors members had to be
appointed by Student Association, then
approved through Central Council’s in-
ternal affairs committee and finally by
Council itself.
Gusmano said he is involved in a joint.

Residential Life racism problem
in need of immediate attention
By Roderick M. Williams
In the Nov. 4 issue of the Albany Student Press,
an article appeared on the “‘gripes’’ that minorities
light to the problem of racism in that office — a
problem in dying need of attention.

More representation of minority students on
Residential Life staff was the fourth demand. This
is necessary for the benefit of minorities as well as
students. Many white students have not had contact
with minorities whatsoever. The forced com-
munication between a minority resident assistant
and a white student living in his/her section can
begin to erase certain stereotypes one has of the
other.
Having spoken to minority RAs both past and
present, the consensus was that Residential Life has
been sincere in its effort to bring more minorities to
the staff. But nevertheless, the attempts have not
worked.
This leads the minorites on this campus to con-
sider one possible option. The option was chosen by
minority students at Cornell University and SUNY
New Paltz, who petitioned for separate housing.
The halls of Ujama at Cornell and Shango at New
Paltz are predominantly black and Hispanic, as is
the residential staff. This system is working well at
both schools and it is a viable option open to the
minorities of this campus.
The final demand is to allow minority students to
have representation at judicial board hearings. This
is especially important with respect to freshman,
who are unsure of whom to turn to when faced with
judicial board hearings.
The ease and nonchalance with which referrals
are given does not forewarn students of a judicial
hearing’s seriousness and gravity. This comes from
personal experience as a freshman. I was referred to
judicial board and told my case was to be heard by
a group of my peers — fellow students. As I walked
into the hearing room, I did not see a black face
among “‘my peers.’’ What I did see was a room full
of white faces, and the solemnity of the proceedings
that took place could only be matched by the
Supreme Court.
The sentences handed down by judical boards are
so serious that Residential Life should feel
obligated to the person being referred and not in-
terfere when third parties such as SA Minority Af-
fairs Coordinator Mark. Turner, advises frosh at
their hearings. ‘
On Wednesday, a meeting was set up to discuss
the problems of the rising racial incidents. Those at
the meeting included University administrators,
Residential Life officials, and student leaders from
the various minority organzations. Hopefully,
something positive can be achieved.
SA Affirmative Action Coordinator John Reavis
said before the meeting that he hopes that the
University administration will ‘‘agree to seriously
look into the racial incidents and come up with a
plan to resolve and prevent them with input from
her Alumni hallmates. Martone said investigations —_ minority students.’’ o

Private company taking over some
colleges’ maintenance operations
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Just
as private companies have taken
over public hospitals and even
prisons, a new company in
Nashville is hoping to “take
over’’ some colleges.
‘We think that there’s a place
for a private company to manage
education . programs just like
Hospital Corporation of America
has done for hospitals and Cor-
rections Corporation has done for
jails,” said Roy Nicks, head of
the Education Corporation of
America (ECA).
Nicks, who headed Tennessee’s
state board of regents for 10
years, said his company often can
do a better job managing certain
parts of the campus — janitorial
services and maintenance opera-
tions are his favorite examples —
than educators themselves can.
For anywhere from $995 to
$12,990 a year, ECA will manage
a college’s janitorial services,
preventative maintenance pro-
grams, work order systems, pain-
ting and other tasks, said ECA
salesman Jeff Jones.
“School and industry tend to
do a lousy job of managing their
physical plants,’ Nicks said.
“That’s because most of the peo-
ple who do the work are at the
low end of the salary scale.’’
Keeping campuses up physical-
ly has indeed become a major
crisis for some campuses. Col-
leges, trying to cope with inflation
in the seventies and then federal
funding cutbacks in the eighties,
often have deferred maintenance
on their structures and
equipment.
Now buildings and equipment
have become so bad that colleges
can’t afford new ones. In 1984,
architect Harvey Kaiser, in his
book ‘‘Crumbling Academe,”
estimated colleges needed $50
billion to rebuild themselves after
years of physical neglect. The
White House Science Council
concluded in 1985 that colleges
needed about $10 billion to
renovate themselves.
Two weeks ago, Virginia’s
Higher Education Council
estimated its state colleges need
$90 million to replace worn-out
buildings and equipment.
Nicks figures ECA can make
maintenance cheap enough for
colleges to avoid falling into
disrepair again.
Colleges, Nicks said, can save
10 to 30 percent off their current
budgets by letting ECA manage
the maintenance instead of doing
it themselves.
ECA recently won contracts to
manage programs at Carson-
Newman College, Tennessee
Tech, Middle Tennessee State,
and Walters State Community
College, all in Tennessee.
“A lot of colleges use [these
programs] for a combination of
things—maintenance, the total
management process, to
strengthen and upgrade their own
management programs--and they
have proved very beneficial,”
said Wayne Leroy of the Associa-
tion of Physical Plant Ad-
ministrators of Universities and
Colleges.
Larger campuses are more likely
to have a “fairly stabilized,
tenured work force that’s been in
place for many years.”” Qa

A slow death
If Student Association runs another deficit this
year greater than their $65,000 fund balance, “‘SA
will be in serious financial trouble.””
— SA Controller Agnes Seminara
That is one of the greater understatements
you'll ever hear around SA. “‘Serious financial
trouble’ doesn’t even begin to describe the dire
straits SA will be in if last year’s $71,000 loss is
repeated this year.
The future of SA could be riding on this year’s
budget. If SA runs out of general funds, the
University might be inclined to exercise its right to
take away SA’s control of the $1 million raised
each year from the mandatory student activity
fee.
That would render SA almost completely
useless. Without a budget, SA would become a
meaningless figurehead government, one that the
University will find incredibly easy to ignore.
Although SA officials are concerned about last
year’s $71,000 deficit, there has been little
evidence of any efforts by SA’s executive branch
to correct one of the main causes of the loss:
many SA-funded groups fail to make back a
certain agreed-upon percentage of the money SA
has allocated to them.
SA officials are quick to blame group leaders
for the problem. SA President Paco Duarte said
that the groups ‘‘know how to spend money, but
they don’t know how to make money.”’ That may
be true. But the task of teaching these groups how
to make money lies with SA’s Programming and
Media Offices which have been very quiet this
semester.
Ask any student if he or she has attended any
SA-funded events this year. If you exclude the one
or two University Cinemas movies they may have
seen, chances are the answer will be ‘no.’ Forget
about attending events; the Programming Office
is simply not doing its job when the average
student is hard pressed to even remember the
name of an SA-funded event.
To his credit, Programming Director Mark
Perlstein often meets with several group leaders
during group advisory board meetings. But the
behind-the-scenes work has thus far failed to
translate into successful events.
The Media Office has been overwhelmingly
negligent in its duties to publicize events. As
Media Director last year, current SA Vice
President Doug Tuttle never had a working
relationship with the Programming Office, failing
to coordinate their efforts to boost sagging
attendance at events.
The resignation of former Media Director John
Keenan earlier this year worsened the situation.
SA-funded groups are certainly to blame for
failing to meet their income lines, but they
received little or no help from SA executives who
are supposed to know better.
To halt the budget losses, SA is considering a
number of changes in the budgetary process. One
idea SA seems to be leaning toward is plus-income
budgeting, which would reduce the amount of
money SA gives to each group, requiring groups
to earn more if they want to spend more.
Although plus-income budgeting may reduce
the chances of incurring another $71,000 deficit,
it fails to address the real issue here. SA shouldn’t
expect to see any improvement in its groups’
ability to make money unless SA’s executive
branch, most notably the Programming and
Media Offices, is willing to step up its efforts.
Plus-income, budgeting could work if group
leaders are taught how to make money. Since
many groups struggle to make their events
successful, they would rarely earn enough to have
extra spending money. The result will be reduced
programming.
Punishing groups isn’t the answer — working
with them is. Until SA learns that lesson, deficits
will continue to mount. Hopefully, it won’t be too
late.
Just a few weeks ago the United States Congress voted
to override President Reagan’s veto of punitive sanctions
against the Republic of South Africa. Liberals in Con-
gress seem to conclude that five years of Reagan’s policies
are the reason apartheid has not dismantled yet, and the
way to that end is to declare economic war on the South
African nation.
Peter Murphy
The debate evolved in such a way that if you were
against sanctions then you were considered a conspirator
in apartheid, and thus a racist. Congress could simply not
resist the emotional clamour of the issue as well as the
chance to appear moral and virtuous. This moral postur-
ing is precisely the reason the founding fathers gave the
executive office veto power. Only this time it was not
enough.
The new sanctions law will ban all new investment in
South Africa as well as ban American purchases of tex-
tiles, coal, uranium and agricultural products among
other things. The law did stop short of a total embargo
the likes for which the liberals in the House of Represen-
tatives were pushing.
The ostensible goal of sanctions is to ruin the South
African economy, thereby making it too costly for the
government to sustain its apartheid policies. Thus there
evolves the incentive for the regime to outlaw institutional
racism and share power with the black majority. In fact,
the white minority government has been moving towards
that goal, albeit slowly, by repealing such things as pass
laws, allowing black trade unions and black property
ownership as well as other reforms.
The government of P.W. Botha has done more to move
away from apartheid than any previous South African
government has done in decades. However, this has been
overshadowed by the violence and the State of Emergency
which has been in effect for over two years. Had these
reforms taken place five or ten years earlier, they would
have had a far more beneficial effect on the black majori-
ty and world opinion.
These reforms have been criticized as ‘‘cosmetic’’
because some changes will always accellerate the desire
for more change. By western standards they fall short of
emancipating the blacks, and they certainly fall far short
of the goals of those who seek violent revolution.
By voting for sanctions, Congress gave themselves a
political freebie here at home. This idealism, however, br-
ings a price. Sanctions will cost the American Legislators
nothing, the white South Africans almost nothing and
many thousands of Black South Africans virtually
everything. It is the blacks that will lose their jobs and
benefits at IBM or Mobil when those companies must
leave. It is the blacks who will be thrown out of work
from the coal mines and textile mills because Americans
won’t be buying any longer.
To make matters worse, there are no food stamp or
social security programs on which the blacks can depend.
But that’s okay, say the proponents of economic calami-
ty. They believe blacks in South Africa favor sanctions
and are ready and willing to lose their jobs, hit the streets,
and topple the regime. In face, polls taken by the London
Times show that many, if not most, black South Africans
actually oppose sanctions and divestment by the West.
Furthermore, the many that do favor them fall into
several categories: those with no jobs and nothing to lose;
those in “‘sheltered”” employment with nothing to lose;
those who favor violence and want everyone to lose; and
those who believe somehow that the government will
The case against sanctions
crumble under sanctions.
Anyone who thinks American sanctions will bend the
white minority government seriously underestimates the
will and strength of those in power. If anything, sanctions
will make the regime more obstinate toward reforms. For
sanctions to even remotely be a non-violent means of en-
ding apartheid, it would take, simultaneously, the entire
Western World to impose them. It would be foolish to
think that the Europeans would unite on this issue
especially since they couldn’t wait to purchase Siberian
natural gas and continuously sell arms'to Middle Eastern
terrorist states.
There is by no means any guarantee that the current
government will be replaced by a freedom loving
democracy. To be able to grant free press and elections
and an economy free of state control after a ravaging civil
war is highly improbable. South African blacks are far
from a united force and there is little prospect of this oc+,
curing. The country consists of numerous tribes and
racial groups living under a truce. South Africa cannot be
compared to the thirteen colonies of 1776. It more likely
compares to Lebanon in 1975 where rival factions have
been warring now for eleven years.
Most of the killings that have occurred in South Africa
in the last two years have been blacks killing blacks. The
most prominent black political group, the African Na-
tional Congress, has been the impetus behind it. This is
not the equivalent of Martin Luther King’s Southern
Christian Leadership Conference. Over the last several
years the ANC has become a Communist dominated
group openly committed to revolutionary armed struggle.
While it claims to be a coalition of black nationalist
groups, history tells us that Communists are not in-
terested in ruling coalitions, whether it be in Vietnam,
Zimbabwe, Nicaragua or Poland. The ANC has pledged
allegiance to Moscow and neither one shows a shread of
evidence in support of peaceful transition to democracy.
Why do you suppose the Kremlin favors sanctions? To
see a free and democratic South Africa?
The ANC intimidates black “‘collaborators’’ and
moderates who favor peaceful change within the govern-
ment. It seeks to end cooperation and polarize South
Africa. One terrorist method the ANC uses is the
“‘Necklace.’’ A tire is filled with gasoline, placed around
a black ‘‘informant”’ and set afire. Those who strive to
Tule using terror will rule with terror. How can anyone ex-
pect the South African government to negotiate with
terrorists?
In spite of all this, American college students, for ex-
ample, still protest for divestment and against companies
who remain in South Africa. The hypocrisy lies in that
those high-minded students have their job prospects, their
three meals a day, their GE radios, their Fords, and their
Mobil gasoline. God forbid they, themselves, divest from
companies yet they are in the ‘‘fight against apartheid.”
It is a sick joke.
The much vilified Reagan Administration’s policy of
constructive engagement had, at least, attainable objec-
tives. It encouraged American firms to adhere to the
Sullivan principles and it promoted funds from the Agen-
cy of International Development to go to drought-
stricken areas and civil right groups. The folly of sanc-
tions is that it will wipe out whatever leverage the U.S.
has with not only the South African government, but
moderate blacks, businessmen and opposition politicians.
The peaceful way to black political power is through
black economic power, and that comes from a growing

spectfully ours apg
he holiday shopping season has begun. I know this because my favorite
T.V. ad is back, the one with the little Santa riding on the Lady Norelco
Razor, sliding down a hill of snowy shaving cream on chanel 11.
This is my signal to make a mad dash to the local mall — to buy all my gifts in
one «shot and beat the last-minute rush. I tried to do this last weekend, and I
came to a startling realization: it may be possible to beat the frantic holiday shop-
pers, but you can never avoid the Mall Rats.
Everyone is familiar with the Mall Rats — they are those awkward adolescents
that congregate in virtually every shopping center, providing it contains a movie
theatre and/or a pizza place. They never really buy anything other than a movie
ticket and an occasional slice. I'm convinced, in fact, that their sole purpose is to
look dirty, and to make people like me feel self-conscious when we have to say
“excuse me” in order to get to the entrance.
“They're just Mall Rats,” says my friend Laurie. “You shouldn't let them bother
you.” Laurie confidently leads me through a pack of female rats.
“But didn’t you see the one in the Motley Crue tee shirt? Tell me he doesn’t look
dangerous!”
Then again, I'd consider anyone wearing a Motley Crue concert tee-shirt to be
potentially dangerous. I saw some heavy metal advocates on the Phil Donahue
show once, and they looked pretty threatening.
“What's he gonna do? Throw a slice of pizza at you? Set you on fire with his
lighter? Threaten to.make you touch his hair? Don’t be such a wimp,” says Laurie.
Laurie is right. She says Mall Rats are just confused teenagers trying to find an
identity of their own. The mall is merely a central meeting place where they can be
with others experiencing similar crises. Laurie is a psych major with a 3.8 cum. She
is also an ex-Mall Rat.
“But Laurie, how did you overcome your Mall rat days?” I asked her one day.
“I don’t remember exactly. It happened all at once, I think. One morning I just
woke up and didn’t feel like going to the mall. And that night I burned by Sergio
Valente jeans and my feather earrings in our fireplace.”
From an academic standpoint, Mall Rats are a sociological phenomenon. They
were a virtually unknown group ten years ago. The closest things to Rats back then
were the twelve-year-old boys with premature mustaches, doing wheelies in the
parking lot of Seven-Eleven.
“One of those kids is going to get killed doing that on his bike, one of these
days,” I remember by mother saying, shaking her finger at one as she pulled into
Seven-Eleven’s lot.
Had I known then I would have told her that that really didn’t matter — from an
evolutionary perspective, anyway. According to Darwin's theory, the fittest bikers
would survive and evolve into the true Mall Rat species. But what did I know? I
had just gone to Seven-Eleven because Mom had promised me a grape Slurpy.
Probably the most fascinating part of the Mall Rat invasion is that it has occurrec
across the entire continent uniformly. I went to a mall in Utica, New York, and not!
only were the Rats in abundance, but they looked exactly the same as those at
Crossgates Mall.
My cousin Andrea who lives in San Deigo says the malls in California are in-
fested, too: “The fourteen-year-old bleached blondes, lots of black leather and rub-
ber bracelets, right?” asks Andrea. BINGO.
And my stepbrother Jeff reports from Chicago: “Yeah, mall rats. Stringy, un-
washed hair. Tight pin-striped jeans and unlaced high-tops. Very obnoxious. My
girlfriend won't go near the mall when a Porky's movie is playing. That's when
they’re out in full bloom, you know.”
In fact, the only mall I know of completely lacking the Rat subculture is in West
Palm Beach, Florida, where my grandmother lives. But that’s because there are no
people in West Palm Beach under 65 years’of age. And older people are much’
more comfortable in polyester than in leather.
Anyway, Grandma is always upset when she visits the North and we drag her to
the mall. “What a pity,” she says shaking her head at the herd of Mall Rats gathered!
in front of Sbarro’s Pizza. “Thank God none of my grandchildren turned out like
that.”
“Julius did — remember, Grandma?”
“Well, he wasn’t that bad.”
“Tt was nothing the reform school didn’t fix.”
My cousin Julius wasn’t a real Mall Rat. He was a Juvenile Delinquent — a
related but totally different culture. He broke Grandma's heart, but he’s much bet-
ter now.
A beautiful new mall was just built not far from where I now live. This mall has
no movie theatre and only one pizza place, but I'm somewhat worried, anyway.
Not about the mall, but about the fate of my little brother, who is average Mall
Rate age. | called home Sunday afternoon just to check up on him.
“What's Seth doing today, Mom?”
“Oh, he went shopping at the new mall. He wants to get his holiday shopping
done early.”
Just as I had suspected.
“Why aren’t you with him? Suppose he’s hanging around some pizza place? You
didn’t let him wear his Phil Collins concert shirt did you?” (Seth is not the Motley
Crue type).
“Evelyn, what are you talking about?”
“Mom, you don’t think Seth will ever become a Mall Rat, do you?”
“Nah. He’s more the Couch Potato type.”

oward Jones has everything going
for him. His third album, One to
One, has just been released by
Elektra. He's now an established artist, hav-
ing expanded the strong new wave that
just brought him attention among college
and “new music” stations. He gets airplay
across the board, along side such musical
(or might one say marketing?) geniuses as
Madonna. and Phil Collins. At this point,
he has some of the best technical people in
the business backing him, and if he puts
out an album that sounds like the new
wave cover band that played at your high
school prom, it will sell enough to cover
his clothing and salon bills. So why try
harder?
Danielle Gagnon
If this had been the new wave cover
band, this album would actually be quite
impressive — but not for an artist of Jones’
reputation. Not unlike his friend Phil Col-
lins, Jones seems to have lost sight of his
talented roots. A disappointing chapter ina
career that began with the British new-
wave keyboard artist whose product was
unanimously acclaimed as_ innovatively
talented. Since that time, Jones has
deviated from his progressive new-wave
image, replacing it with bland techno-pop
style which, if it weren’t for Jones’ distinc-
tive vocals, would not be distinguishable
from other bands of the genre.
For the most part, what Jones has done is
to take old melodic hooks and inserted bet-
ween them such things as_ ringing
telephones and robot voices, which
devotees’ tnay defend asi “experimental.”
While he does break new musical ground
with certain effects, the melodies ring too
familiar to earn the album real critical
praise. At times he is quite blatant about it
— for example, “Will You Still Be There?”
and “Where Are We Going?,” two ballads
from One to One are all but
interchangeable.
But, hey, let's give credit where credit’s
due. There are a couple of songs worth a
listen on this album. The first single, “You
Know I Love You. . .Don’t You?” is a blues
based tune, with the same energy as the
“New Song" or “Things Can Only Get Bet-
.”" Characteristically, every Howard
hit, and this one
may just be it.
“You Know I Love You. . .Don’t You?”
will be the first video released from One to
One, Jones just having completed ‘ts
shooting in Los Angeles.It is described as a
t and vividly colorful animated syn-
a,
d Jones sells
out to techno-pop
thesis of an artist's drawings,” beginning
with an artist drawing a keyboardist, which
starts to move and dance. Bright polarized
images mix with black and white, cor-
responding to the lyrical content of the
song. The video ends with Jones driving
off into the sunset as the frame dissolves in-
to the artist’s blank workspace. Jones may
be following in the footsteps of A-Ha,
whose unique conceptual cartoon-
animated video of “Take on Me” won
them much critical acclaim and MTV's
“Video of the Year” award.
The video was directed and produced by
Wayne Isham and Jay Roewe, whose other
collaborative efforts include Bon Jovi,
Journey and Motley Crue. Jones fans can
also look forward to an hourlong video
documentary of his 1985 world tour called
“Last World Dream” sometime in the near
future.
One feels as if Jones is wandering
through an arcade during “The Balance of
Love (Give and Take),” the one experimen-
tal but not recycled song on One to One. It
may well be the second best single from
the album, incorporating unexpected in-
terludes of double-digitally controlled
oscillated sequences in conjunction with
advanced envelope generators that give
Jones a greater sense of control.
It sounds as if Jones borrowed Run-
DMC for back-up singers on “Don’t Want
to Fight,” a rap-influenced song with a driv-
ing beginning, during which Jones’ vocals
are punctuated by black women chorusing
the title. It should be noted that this is not
the first time Jones has fallen into a rap
sound, as there was a similar offering on his
second album,Dream Into Action. While
"Give Me Strength” sounds promising,
with its eerie, echoing beginning, it quickly
falls into the pattern of repetitive melody.
Perhaps the most memorable (but hardly
the most talented) is the final cut, “Little Bit
of Snow.” It’s a quietly haunting ballad
lamenting the perils of cocaine: “You have
the light for us, we need every glimmer,
Don’t destroy yourself in a little bit of
snow, And there is no feeling and no pain,
It only lasts a little while.”
The problem with Jones’ album is that he
seems to be following everyone else's cues
instead of holding true to the progressive
talent that brought him fame in the first
place. On this album his songs seem far
more dance and pop-oriented than even
the most recent and highly successful
Dream into Acton LP. If he forged ahead in
experimental effects with One to One, he
fell behind in musical content and diversi-
Nobody’s Fool as
unique as its stars
hakespeare had the right idea when
S he wrote, “To be or not to be, that
is the question.” The denizens of
Buckeye: Basin, the setting of Nobody's
Fool, live by an altered version, “To be or
not to be, ain’t much of a choice.”
lan Spelling
Nobody's Fool is a very odd, disturbing
and yet life-affirming little film. From the
mind and pen of Beth Henley (Broadway's
Crimes of the Heart), and starring Rosanna
Arquette and Eric Roberts, the story
simultaneousy demands attention and
assaults the senses,
Arquette plays Cassie, a mentally
unstable young woman trapped by both
her past and present in a Twi-light Zone-
like town replete with craggy faced
neighbors, albino weddings, and a former
lover. Roberts is Riley, the set designer
with a traveling Shakespeare company.
Coaxed by her best friend, Mare Winn-
ingham (jubilant in a stereotypical, but fun
role), Cassie attends a performance of The
Tempest. She encounters Riley, and mat-
ters proceed slowly from there, until Cassie
joins an acting class (‘To be somebody else,
if only for a few moments.”) with the silent
hope of romancing Riley.
Nobody’s Fool is a personal, unique pic-
ture clearly not suited for everyone's
tastes. It’s about real people, people straddl-
ing the fine line between sanity and insani-
ty. Henley’s comedy lacks sublety, often
straddling the fine line between humor and
insensitivity. In her world, suicide is a joke.
Some may view as unnecessary the
flashback sequence in which Cassie at-
tempts to hang herself after her boyfriend
refuses to marry her just because she’s
pregnant. The rope she uses snaps and
Cassie plops into a garbage dumpster. It’s
hatha or ho-hum depending on one’s tastes,
Henley explores the gray world of sani-
ty with great success. Cassie's a scarred in-
dividual. She stabbed the jock (Jim Youngs)
who left her, unfatally in the neck. The
townies won't let her live the incident
down. She's a prisoner in her own home,
and comes to the realization that escape is
the only way the person within her can
emerge. Riley’s past is also chequered; he’s
allowed his anger to explode within him.
Now he has his emotions under control,
though the burgeoning relationship often
tests his mettle. Director Evelyn Purcell
visually supports Henley’s rare tender
moments, seizing the opportunity to give
this non-commercial film a universal,
humane feel. :
Two scenes attest to this point. In the
first, Riley and Cassie sleep following the
happiest day of her life. Riley awakens,
glances lovingly at Cassie, and gently
plants a kiss on her forehead. In a quirky,
dark film, it's a moment of security and
warmth. The second scene is less obvious.
Near the end, as Cassie and Riley argue, he
tosses a portable stereo over a railing. Look
closely at Roberts’ facial expression as the
radio reaches the point between up and
down. His face registers total disbelief and
instant realization of a mistake. Some films
are great as a whole, others are good as a
result of a couple of great moments. Such is
the case here.
Arquette gives yet another strange per-
formance: She chooses complicated. roles
and always performs admirably. By turns,
her Cassie is sympathetic, pathetic and
hopeful. Arquette plays the serio-comic
scenes in accordance with Henley’s script;
in other words she may grate on the nerves
at key moments.
ED
Some films are great as a
whole, others are good as a
result of a couple of great
moments. Such is the case
here.
Roberts gives his most accessable perfor-
mance, in his first film since Runaway
Train, for which he earned a Best Actor
Oscar nomination. He’s also toned down
his annoying accent, and comes off as far
less eccentric than usual. It’s nice to see
Roberts. in a role showcasing his acting
ablility rather than his knack for sneering
(remember Star 802)
In support Louise Fletcher may cop an
Oscar nomination for her memorable por-
trayal as a mother who's just stopped car-
ing about anything. Rather than share in
her daughter's happiness at the film’s emo-
tional peak, Fletcher enthuses about a
penguin decanter she purchased. It’s a
cruel, realistic moment, and Fletcher hits
the nail on the head.
Nobody's Fool is, to repeat, a disturbing
film. This critic still can’t decide whether or
not he liked it. But it’s kept him thinking
and considering what he saw. Good or bad,
any film provoking thought in some man-
ner is worth trying. Nobody’s Fool easily
falls into that category. Oo

An experimental sound of music
nd you thought Philips just made
lightbulbs. In fact, they make
records too, the likes of which we
could use lots more of. Their latest effort,
Artsounds, distributed by PolyGram’s
Classics division, is a collection of pieces
composed and performed by various artists
who are not widely known for their
musical prowess but rather for their visual
artistry.
Joshua Rosenthal
Invited to create aural sculptures and
paintings, the wide variety of composers
pull off their cross-pollenation with vary-
ing degrees of success, either in accordance
with their visual styles or in spite of them.
Asa unified whole, the double set is stunn-
ing for its wide range of musical and
literary influences, if not for its wild in-
novation: Swing jazz is stripped of all con-
ventions on painter Larry River's “Nobody
Home,” a synth-pop becomes a treacherous
sin on ArtSounds’ co-producer Gordon's
“Everyone's and Artist,” and so on. We
have architects reciting passages from
novels they've written, sculpters tinkering
with various percussive devices,
photographers crooning old standards. The
talent is tastefully arranged on all four sides
so one piece never overshadows the next,
the grating pieces are followed by dry
humorous ones, and the moods just keep
changing. It is a fascinating and very dif-
ferent kind of art experience, just different
because the practitioners are venting loads
of creative energies in mediums they’ve
never explored before.
The inclusion of a piece by the late
Marcel Duchamp becomes essential when
considering the ideal behind the project.
Duchaimp, best known for found objects
such as latrines and bicycle wheels,
challenged the hierarchical artistic com-
munity of his time, rendering simple daily
artifacts as of great aesthetic worth and
purpose. That is much in the spirit of this
particular experiment as well; minimalism
is a prime objective of many of the pieces.
Even the monologues are delivered in
deliberately unelaboratd form. Duchamp’s
simple blowing into one of his smaller glass
creations, “Air de Paris,” is not a
monumental achievement,’ but it does
represent a certain oneness between the
creation and the creator, between the artist
and his ideologies.
The closest Artsounds comes to rock and
roll musically (although not much of its
spirit pervades the entire album) is a synth
piece by muralists and former Tubes
musical members Michael Cotten and
Prairie Prince, “Tiny Places.”One can tell
us that these guys have been away from
the scene for a while, failing to bring
anything new to form or create nostalgia
with their tired, 70's synth meanderings.
Thankfully, most of the artists featured are
not concerned with rock but rather with
the experimental underbelly of contem-
porary “pop” music, a tradition begun by
John Cage and carried out by successful
performance artists such as Laurie Ander-
son today.
One of the best examples of this spirit is
Connie Beckley’s “To Faust: A Footnote,”
in which she recites part of a scientific text
by Issac Newton to the simple beat of a
metronome. The spare vocals build and
develop through an eight-track recorder,
and suddenly we realize that this weird
rendering of the text has taken on many of
the characteristics of a simple pop song:
melody, harmony, a strong meter. Her
reading is sure and almost affectionate,
revealing the “excitement” with which
Newton wrote his theories and postulates.
Not only does the piece twist from the
weird to the sublime in its undaunted
delivery, but it allows the listener to decide
whether Newton's passage is the subject of
derision or enlightenment. All this from a
women who single-handedly constructed a
suspension bridge between two towers in
Paris.
Ina similar tongue-in-cheek manner, the
English multimedia artist Tony McAulay
whispers the names of famous duos from
all walks of life in “Collaborative Poem.”
Blondie and Dagwood, Sacco and Vanzetti,
Marx and Engels are a few of the hundred
or so classic collaborations recited pur-
posefully over warbling piano, guitar, and
tape manipulation. Best left alone as a
strictly humorous piece, the only conclu-
sions to be drawn from the piece are the
words of its creator: “I've always been in-
how work can develop in that way,
sometimes coming out of the conflicts or
complications of collaboration...”
Painter Burton Van Deusen contributes
a well-intended harmonics improv; MTV
logo designer Jonathan Borofsky taps a
microphone with wet fingers (he’s lucky to
be alive..), trying to sing in a charming sort
of way, and coffee-table novelist Tom
Wesselman writes a country ditty and
plays harmonica on a track recorded in
Nashville.
One can only gush over the ingenuity of
Marcy Brafman’s “I Can’t Get Started —
Communfx,” starting off as a taxicab radio
conversation in pidgin English and climax-
ing in a frail, languid version of Ira Ger-
shwin standard. A strong statement on
metropolitan life is conveyed through the
brutal sarcasm of Brafman’s tone, although
by the time the sequence linking the cab
dispatcher and the overhauled Gershwin
tune transpires, we hardly have time to
figure it out. Brafman’s mousey vocal treat-
ment further trivializes the intent of the
piece, and suddenly the whole thing is
relegated to nothing more than modest
entertainment. It is a beautiful and snide
moment in which Brafman implies that
there is humor in loose, flagrantly loose
interpretation.
Before one listens to the en-
tire album, he is probably
quite skeptical about its
worth because these aren't
musicians in the conventional
sense.
Two interviews break up the record on
side three. Architects John Burgee and
Philip Johnson have worked together for
years on large and small constructions and
museum installments. Johnson in particular
has had an immense impact on contem-
porary architecture, and on his partner
Burgee. Unfortunatly, the few interesting
comments they make are trammeled by an
unprepared and dorky interviewer, who is
told by the eighty-year-old Johnson in a
venerable and insincere tone, “You're a
very good interviewer.”
The. young, ‘religiously influenced
painter Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt com.
poses and performs a witty satire of an art
history student whose sexuality interferes
with his appreciation of Caravaggio. Over
Christmas carrols, “Pomp and Cir-
cumstance,” and other familiar themes, the
wistful Schmidt employs sanctus bell and
other components of Catholic liturgy to
counter the outrageous adolescent humor
in his writing. The call and response bet-
ween him and his characters Mark Helsgott
and John Schmidt move the piece back and
forth, from high school to the middle ages,
from “frothy busting beer-cans” to the
alter, in an effort to capture what Schmidt
call, “a ritual on record,” a mix of “peasant,
pop, and Church sensibilities.”
Famous rock and roll photographer Bob
Gruen, best known for having captured
John Lennon and Yoko, The New York
Dolls, Tina Turner, and others in their
most recognizable guises, sings a sorry ver-
sion of "When You're Smiling,” Its saving
graces are authentic tapdancing recorded
onto the mix, and a sly humor which
becomes explosively ridiculous as the ren-
dition tinkers on futilely.
In general, the artists on Artsounds lean
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Jack and Jill, jf
terested how (pairs) have worked together,
Jeff Gordon's piece in the Artsounds poster
towards one of the album's two major ob-
jectives: either to convey an important
message through the intrinsically simple
method of a monologue, or to create an
abstraction of a message through eclectic,
humorous, or deliberately spare musical
structure, The best of both modes are per-
formed by Jennifer Bartlett and Yura
‘Adams, respectively. Bartlett's “Excerpt
from ‘History of the Universe” is an unac-
companied reading from a book she wrote
in the seventies which was edited con-
siderably and published last year. Known
primarily for her stretched-canvas pain-
tings which earned her international ac-
claim and exposure in the early galleries of
Soho, the narrative quality of her att led
many critics to believe the book was
highly autobigraphical. Although she
denies this, the monologue and stéry are
are presented with such conviction it is
hard to beileve it is derived from anything
other than direct personal experience. The
theme revolves around a parent who has
died, and how his death affects the family.
The older children immediately argue over
dividing up the Cadillac, the old man’s
possessions, and his money. Bartlett's tone
is virtually unaffected throughout, only
emphasizing the ultimate pointlessness of
his workaholic existence and the rushed
funeral proceedings (“there wasn’t even
enough time to say what nice man he
was”), sort of like a miniature Ivan Ilych.
Yura Adams’ “Dream of Paradise” is the

media artist with a penchant for weird,
mechanical consumer items, (her precious
photo of a set of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em
Robots superimposed over a San Francisco
skyline is included on the LP’s groovy com-
plimentary poster) Adams uses a Fairlight
synth and the nearly soulful vocals of Elsie
McKercher. Owing a great deal to present
performance art giants like Laurie Ander-
son, there is a unique intensity in her com-
position and her rhythmic schemes. While
it's mechanical in a primitive way, her
crispy inflection over'modern instrumenta-
tion immediately elevates it, reminiscent of
the English industrial movement of the late
seventies and the current work of Ander-
son and her peers. Adams is currently seek-
ing out a videotape and distribution deal

Artsounds is a valuable and incredibly
fun experiment. Before one listens to the
entire album, he is probably quite skeptical
about its worth because these aren’t musi-
cians in the conventional sense. These
queries dissipate very fast. And these ar-
tists are musicians, not for their valient at-
tempts but for their remarkably successful
results. Any further intimidation levelled
by the nature of this record is eased by the
inclusion of excellent liner notes and the
poster, which features works specifically
created by each artist for this project.
Without delving into all that “greater-than-
the-sum-of-its-parts” garbage, Artsounds
represents a cross-section of the art world

Serious business
To the Editor:
This letter is in response to Steven Klurfeld’s recent let-
ter criticizing the SUNYA School of Business and in par-
ticular the marketing concentration.
Mr. Klurfeld;
Apparently your distaste for the School of Business
began long before you entered it. My biggest question to
you is if you didn’t have enough interest in the field of
business, as you said, “‘to fill a very small thimble’’ then
why did you become a business major? Surely at such a
large and diverse institution as this, there must have been
some major that could have appealled to your interests.
In particular, if you enjoyed, as you said, Professor Ellis’
symphony course or Dr. Higgins’ Sociology course so
much why didn’t you explore-these as possible majors?
Also, I am deeply disturbed by your mocking of the
manner in which John Levato advises the business
undergraduates. In my experience with Mr. Levato and
through contacts with Albany business alumni, I have
found him to be a very dedicated man with the utmost
concern for his students. How many other advisors at this
school can you find meeting with students at eleven
o’clock at night?
As far as your claims attesting to the ease of cheating in
this major, I reply simply that one would have to have at-
tempted it to realize this. There are many of us in the
school with far too much integrity to be involved in
cheating. I am not denying that it occurs, only that it oc-
curs with no greater frequency in this major than in any
other.
T also must disagree with your assertion that there is
“no course which can be savored at the business school.””
There are those of us, such as myself, who enjoy
Marketing at least as much as you claim you enjoyed
Music and Sociology.
In response to your complaint of ‘‘stadium’’ size
classes, I only wish to remind you that this is simply the
price you must pay for getting a quality education at

about one third of the cost of a similar education at a
Private institution.
Addressing your belief that an undergraduate educa-
tion is simply a “‘warm-up”’ or ‘‘bull-pen’’ I must again
disagree. It should not be viewed (as you view the
undergraduate experience) as a means to an end. On the
contrary, I maintain that it is something to be enjoyed for
its own sake, not simply to be viewed as a requirement for
a greater goal. Perhaps if your attitude had been dif-
ferent, your experiences would have been as well.
Finally, Mr. Klurfeld, I sincerely hope that you choose
your career more carefully than you chose your college
major. Perhaps then you will stop holding others respon-
sible for your own mistakes.

Share the space
To the Edito:
It is my view that bulletin board space in the Campus
Center should be devoted entirely for the use of SA
recognized groups that apply for them. Space should be
granted on the basis of need and on a first come, first
serve basis. This would improve the visibility of such
groups such as class councils which are finding it increas-
ingly difficult to publicize their events effectively.
A bulletin board in the Campus Center, shared by the
class councils of all four classes, would allow us to reach
our respective groups and show them that indeed we are
doing all we can to serve our class to the best of our abili-
ty. It would also allow our clasmates to get more involved
in many of the activities they may not have previously
realized existed.
The three dollar class dues were meant to make our stay
at Albany a more enjoyable and socially educational one.
The Campus Center, which is already a home for student
groups and activities, should naturally perform a func-
tion of promoting these groups, not just supporting them.
— James S. Dietz
Good as Goldstein
To the Editor:
This is in answer to the letter of Baruch Goldstein in the
November 4 issue of the ASP. We Jewish students who
came to protest his presence on campus came not at the
request of any Rabbis but because we, as Jews, deeply re-
sent his trying to impress his views on us. We attended
because we are proud to be Jews, now and forever.
Mr. Goldstein may call himself a Jew, but he is not. He
is a former Jew who has turned away from one of the
basic beliefs of Judaism, that of awaiting the coming of
the Messiah. =
On October 9 Martin I. Silverman, Chairman of the
Community Relations Council of the United Jewish
Federation of Northeastern New York, issued the follow-
ing statement prior to Mr. Goldstein’s appearance:
“‘Jews For Jesus has nothing to do with Judaism. The
concept of a Messiah, one who is sent by G-d and
will bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth, was introduc-
ed to the world by Judaism. One of the most important
beliefs of Judaism is that the Messiah has not yet come.
This is true for all branches of Judaism. Any religion or
group which seeks to claim that it is Jewish and proclaims
that the Messiah has already come is not Jewish
regardless of what rituals it may use in its worship. The
Israeli Supreme Court has ruled that while the definition
of what a Jew is may not be clear, it is clear that a Chris-
tian—one who believes that Jesus of Nazareth is the
Messiah—is not a Jew.‘
This is what we believe; let Mr. Goldstein concentrate
on being a good Christian while we concentrate on being
good Jews.

Apology to Anderson
To the Editor:
In response to the article ‘‘Benetton ad may cost
Anderson chance to play October 31,” we, the members
of Ad Bank, would like to take this opportunity to clarify
some, seemingly vague, points about who we are and ex-
plain our position.
As was stated in the article we are “‘a group of universi-
ty students interested in advertising careers.’’ This
description fails to clearly define our intentions as an
organization. We are not solely interested in advertising
careers. Our focus and goals are far more varied than the
author implies in his article. Ad Bank provides a number
of services in the advertising and the marketing fields as
well, free of charge to campus and community organiza-
tions. Our clients range from Class of ’87 to the local
Balloons Plus to the nationwide clothing company Benet-
ton. Here is where some further explanation is necessary.
Our Benetton campaign was created to appeal to
SUNYA students and expand Benetton’s clientele. Ad
Bank, as the advertising agent, received absolutely no
compensation for the work done, as is the case for those
who appear in the ads.
Wayne Anderson, who appeared in the first of the
series of Benetton ads scheduled in the ASP was not
selected because he is a ‘‘star player’? on our football
team. Our purpose is to photograph familiar faces on-
campus, as is evident by the ad with Michael ‘‘Mondi’’
Mondiello, a State Quad R.A., appearing in the second of
the series.
It is unfortunate that the NCAA insists on enforcing a
rule ‘‘with a slap on the wrist’” when an athlete gets
nothing out of appearing in the ad except the fun of
shooting it and seeing the results in print.
No doubt, the NCAA has its reasons for these
‘guidelines’, but rather than judge their regulations we
would like to apologize to Mr. Anderson for the repercus-
sions of his ad and to Coach Ford, Dr. Moore and the
SUNYA football team for the inconveniences caused by
the ad.

Do not pass go
To the Editor:
Did you ever expect to be thrown in Jail? Here’s your
opportunity to arrest your friends, enemies, and loved
ones with the American Marketing Association to benefit
the American Cancer Society. The AMA is more than a
professional business group with internships, speakers
and market research. This year we are striving for campus
and community participation in an entertaining fundrais-
ing event. November 20th and 21st AMA is sponsoring a
“Jail-n-Bail’’ for the American Cancer Society. We are
extremely pleased to have received enthusiastic support
from the students, administration and community for this
upcoming event.
This is how Jail-n-Bail will work. For a tax-deductible
fee the requested will be arrested for any of a variety of
charges (including indecent exposure from the neck up).
The jailee is transported to a jail at the Campus Center
Ballroom and bail is set by a judge. Jail food, uniforms
and mug shot will be provided. The jailee will have the
opportunity to call his or her friends to raise bail and
secure release. Most sentences last one to two hours.
The event also involves groups and departments such as
the ad bank, spirit committee, campus life, campus police
and other administration. Some of our sponsors include
Freihoffer, Red Lobster, and Polaroid. Arrests of com-
munity members and media personalities are planned.
Funds raised from Jail-n-Bail will support programs of
Cancer research, education, and patient service and
rehabilitation. This event is intended to be funny, enter-
taining and exciting — a fun time in a lifesaving cause —
a fight against cancer. All proceeds go to the Albany
County unit of the American Cancer Society. If you can-
not serve time, any form of participation is appreciated.
Students are encouraged to be there Thursday and Friday
but hopefully not with a life sentence!

Apartheid
from previous page *
economy in South Africa. The Western World, especially
the U.S. can make this happen with trade, investment,
and by encouraging social justice. A burgeoning black
middle class owning property, belonging to trade unions
and paying taxes will be in a more powerful position to
call strikes, and consumer boycotts in order to obtain
political power. Is violence and bloodshed a better way?
Racial progress will come easier and quicker in times of
prosperity, not during economic depression.
If proponents of economic sanctions are primarily in-
terested in making a statement then perhaps they should
focus on economic sanctions against the other forty-three
nations on the African continent that disallow political
representation. For the sake of consistency, why doesn’t
Congress move their morality northward to about 85 per-
cent of black Africa? Many of these governments also
systematically starve and massacre their own people. It is
interesting that no one sings ‘‘we shall overcome’’ in
front of any of those embassies.
The liberals are quick to point out how President
Reagan imposes sanctions on Libya, Nicaragua, and
Cuba so why doesn’t he do so with South Africa? The
reason is basically that South Africa, in spite of its racial
sins, is not in the business of exporting its political system
to other countries. For that matter, neither does another
favorite liberal target; the government of Chile: The
Soviet Union, its clients such as Libya, Cuba, and Viet-
nam have consistently been the exporters of Communism
and terrorism.
Why should the United States collude with some of the
worlds most despotic regimes in order to destroy South
Africa? So we can save it? So we can sleep better at night?
The Congress’ act towards South Africa is nothing more
than a cowardly act of moral hypocrisy. Once again the
United States turns its back on a flawed regime, and once
again a worse disaster will likely follow.

University President Vincent
O'Leary said “the reforms that
Boyer calls for are in agreement
with much of what we're doing on
this campus.
“I think the report will be very
helpful when it comes out in
full,” said ‘O’Leary, adding that
he needed to reserve critical judg-
ment on the report until he read it
in its entirety.
Hamilton pointed out that this
year SUNYA made an attempt
“to get freshmen in close contact
with faculty to discuss legitimate
academic topics in a series of
freshman seminars.”
Komisar said, ‘‘There has been
less opportunity for seminar ex-
perience in the classroom due to
increased class size.””
Although an enriched facul-
ty/student ratio would promote
intellectual exchange in the
classroom, right now SUNY
doesn’t have the funding to hire
more faculty,’’ he said.
Joseph said he fears that when
“the graduate research initiative
takes effect SUNYA might lose
some of its good teaching faculty
to research,’’ adding that, ‘‘I
hope this doesn’t happen because
it would definitely be a change for
the worse.””
Through the graduate in-
itiative, SUNY schools would
receive $84.5 million in additional
funding for graduate programs.
According to Joseph, SUNYA
faculty are not preoccupied with
research ‘‘to the degree that it ex-
ists elsewhere. There is a good-
balance at Albany between
[graduate and undergraduate
studies].’”
Judith Ramaley, SUNYA’s ex-
ecutive vice president for
academic affairs, said, ‘The
Carnegie Report captured a lot of
the concerns I’ve heard expressed
in the past year or two by
educators around the nation.” 0

dreams and hopes we tried to fit it
into our budget. We made com-
promises and given our monetary
constraints, we designed the best
Chapel House we could,”’ he said.
According to Rena Button of
Button and Button, fundraising
consultant to New Chapel House
Fund, the board’s budget goal is
$400,000 and $250,000 has been
raised so far.
“Fundraising is going quite
well,”’ she said. ‘‘We are hoping
we will reach our goal by the end
of the year,” Button said.

vice president of the governing
board, the next large furid raiser

It also calls for curtailing big-
time sports to cure academic
abuses; requiring all college
seniors to write a thesis and de-
fend it orally; and ending at most
colleges the practice of forcing
applicants to take the Scholastic
Aptitude Test or American Col-
lege Test. Boyer said most col-
leges are not really selective and
do not need the multiple-choice
test scores.
He also roundly criticized the
trend away from liberal arts and
education and toward narrow
career training for the nation’s 5
million undergraduates. Oo

Anderson said he is pleased that the
Council ‘‘devined what the major issues
were.””
“T would like to underscore the fact that
there was a broad representation by
students’’ at the meeting, he said. ‘‘When 1
got back to the students [about the Coun-
cil’s decisions], they felt everybody’s ideas
were understood.”’
Gumbecht, however, said he was ‘‘a lit-
tle disappointed’’ by the Council’s deci-
sion to put as their first choice the use of
the lot near Indian Quad.
“Basically, that open field is the only
one that Indian has to use for recreation,”
Gumbrecht said. ‘There is an awful lot of
area around Indian that has trees, but is
unusable for sports,’’ he added.
According to Gumbrecht, he presented
another alternative to the Council that
would locate the parking lot on a
triangular-shaped field adjacent to the
COMING SOON...
quad.
The Council rejected Gumbrecht’s pro-
posal because utility lines located under
the field could not withstand the pressure
and traffic from a parking lot, said
Anderson.
“Tf it is a choice between having impor-
tant experiments in the Biology building
disturbed and having a recreational field
near Indian Quad, I guess I have to go
with”’ losing the field, he said.
State Quad Board President Hillary
Rosenstein said that she didn’t believe
State Quad would be losing “‘any valuable
space”’ if the parking lot were located in
the field near the quad.
“‘We’re not thrilled about it, but we’re
not complaining about it either,”’ she said.
Indian and State Quad Board officers
were first contacted about the Biology
field proposal at the beginning of October
by several Biology graduate students.

loos: heart of Dane booters
415
Part of the reason for Ioos’
relative anonymity can be at-
tributed to the fact that soccer isa
somewhat minor sport at Albany,
one that is unquestionably over-
shadowed by its American cousin,
football. The relative simplicity
of the-sport hides, to the una-
quainted spectator, the fact that
there is actually a high amount of
skill involved.
“People who don’t know much
about the game don’t realize that
there are really a lot of technical
aspects involved,” said loos.
“There’s a lot mioré to the game
than just kicking and running.’’
Yet, the kicking and running
are a big attraction for loos, or
more specifically, non-stop kick-
ing and running. As Ioos goes on
to explain, ‘‘It’s a non-stop sport.
There’s always something going
on on the field, and it’s very fast
moving.”
“The fact that football is more
popular than soccer holds back
people from coming to see us,”
continues Ioos. ‘‘But then again,
the soccer team doesn’t have the
best reputation here at Albany.
But that reputation is going to
change. More people are going to
come out and see us because the
team is getting better. It’s
blossoming.’”
If the team does take off in the
next few years as Ioos, Schiefflin,
and Cohen have predicted it will,
that will be satisfaction enough
for Ioos. For, as he explains, the
team’s overall performance ‘is
much more important to him than
is hisindividual one. And that the
team’s performance should be a
winning one is a top priority.
“It doesn’t bother me if I don’t
get personal recognition,’’ said

loos. ‘‘I mean, it’s nice to get it,
and don’t get me wrong, being
named all-conference is a great
honor. But I think of it more as
being an added thing.It’s much
more important that the team
succeeds.”
And it is of utmost importance
to Ioos that the team does just

which concerns me,’’ said
Palmer. ‘‘Albany has run the
wish-bone for a number of years
now, and they’re a very well-
coached team.”’
Palmer is also concerned with
Dane quarterback Pat Ryder. In
only his first year at Albany, the
freshman transfer from Syracuse
has already thrown himself into
the Dane record books ranking
10th all-time in passing yardage
with 450 yards in four starts.
Palmer is also concerned with
halfback Ro Mitchell, who moved
into eighth on the Dane all-time
rushing yardage list with 1,323
career yards last week, and split-
end Glenn Carlin, who ranks
sixth all-time for the Danes in
receptions with 34 for 538 yards.
“Ryder and Carlin are very im-
pressive,” said Palmer. ‘‘And
their runningbacks, like in any
wish-bone team, have really good
speed. They’ve done a real nice
job; they’re tough, hard kids.
‘The Dane defense may be

attack, is more than ready.

The fans didn’t wait for
‘something to cheer about. They
cheered for the big inning to come

Fans were witnessing the end of
an era where losing was the norm
and 1969 was the only positive
note. If ’69 broke the club’s

“To me, if we’re out represen-
ting the school, we shoud
definitely want to win,” said
loos. “‘I mean, some people play
sports just for enjoyment, and if
you can do that, then that’s fine.
But when you’re playing at this
level, I couldn’t say I was having
himself this weekend,” said
Brown. ‘‘We’ve got to win this
game. It’ll mean a 5-5 season if
we beat New Haven.””
As always, the Danes will be
looking to control the ball against
the Chargers, and to keep their
defense off the field.
“You can’t score if your
defense is on the field,” said
Ford. ‘‘Same as against Buffalo,
with the Yankees winning their
division five times in six years
from.’76 to ’81.
As the Mets came together on
the field to absorb their victory,
the fans avoided the circus of
horses protecting two dozen gods
and just simply applauded for 90
seconds. They knew what had
been accomplished and
understood very well that in this
age of non-repeaters, the Mets
might not win it again for a long

He added, ‘‘That’s what I tried
to get across to the team this year,
to always want something more.

we’ve got to get control of the
football. We did a good job of it
except for in the fourth quarter.
Overall, our offense did a good
job but we’ve got to score more
than 10 points. Against New
Haven, we’ve got to score at least
four times in order to win.”
“Right now,” concluded Ford,
“the challenge is to end the
season on a high note.”” oO

Defending Simms
415
However, our coaching staff
knows it’s not Phil’s fault that
our receivers aren’t open.””
With starting wide receivers
Stacey Robinson in the lineup
Simms threw for 300 yards in an
earlier contest against San Diego.
Maybe San Diego doesn’t have
the greatest defense in the world,
but don’t tell John Elway that
after his dismal, 196-yard effort
against the Chargers this past
week. What makes Simms’ ac-
complishment even greater was
that the Giants’ wide receiver in-
juries were so great that reserve
quarterback Jeff Hostetler was
inserted as the third wide receiver
on passing downs.
Yet Simms has many critics
from the press and fans. ‘‘He
can’t win the big game’’ they
complain. I chuckle at this no-
tion. The last time I looked, a
team wins or loses the game, nota
quarterback. The facts remain
that the Giants (and Simms) have
won the “big game.”’ The Giants
are one of six teams in the league
that have been in the playoffs the
last- two seasons. Obviously, a
team can-not make the playoffs
without winning a ‘‘big game.”
Inthe playoffs, the Giants are 2-2
with Simms at quarterback. Each
loss (to San Francisco and
Chicago) was to the eventual
Super Bowl champions. And in
both years the Giants gave that
team their toughest struggle in the
playoffs.
“Phil Simms throws too many
interceptions and not enough
touchdown passes,”’ critics attest.
Two years ago Simms had a +4
touchdown pass-interception
ratio, last year it was +2. The
reason the stat is lower than-that
TAKE -OUT SVCE.o CAMPUS CENTER
SNACK BAR 7s 442-5984
of other top quarterbacks is that
the Giants rarely throw the ball
inside the opponents’ .ten-yard
line (due to Joe Morris’ success)
and therefore he does not get the
benefit of easy touchdowns as
other N.F.L, quarterbacks do.
The fans use to complain ‘‘Phil
Simms gets injured too much.”
However, since Simms has been
on an intensive weight program
he has been injury-free. He has
taken every snap from center for
the Giants in the last 2% seasons.
He has the third-highest current
consecutive game starting streak
for N.F.L. quarterbacks.
What is really puzzling about
the fans’ actions is their com-
plaints, despite an 8-2 record
which has them in a share of first
place. It’s as if Giant fans are
looking for something to com-
plain about in an outstanding
season.,
Simms has taken his criticism in
good stride. He said, ‘I can’t
control if they like me or not. I
just try my best every game.””
He is a fierce competitor and is
more concerned with the Giants
winning than his personal stats.

the second period, Cortland went

The Dalbec line has been the
main offensive thrust for Albany
thus far as they have a total of 18
points in the first three games.
Cortland played a solid defen-

Danes many twq-on-ones or
three-on-twos. They were check-
ing very closely, not letting
Albany have too many good scor-
ing opportunities. Commenting
on the effectiveness of Cortland’s
defensemen, Syracuse native An-

defensemen were really good. All
our shots were from the outside.

_ two wide receivers to injuries, who were
Simms hurt by
weak receivers
and tough fans
By Steven Silberglied
A few weeks ago I wore a New York
Giants shirt, number 11, (the same
number of Giants’ quarterback Phil
Simms) to a party. About ten people
commented on the shirt. No remarks
were complimentary. The comments
varied from ‘‘Phil Simms sucks... how
can you wear that’’ to .
“Tf you’re a Giant fan Friday

ris) or no. 56 (Lawrence Sports

T’ll stick to the Simms Column
shirt as I contend that he is still amongst
the top ten quarterbacks in the N.F.L.
Poor Phil Simms. It seems like he will
forever be the Rodney Dangerfield of
N.F.L. quarterbacks. Never mind that he
was the Giants’ only offensive weapon
two years ago when he threw for 4,044
yards to lead the Giants into the
playoffs. Never mind that last season he
was the first Giant quarterback to play in
the Pro-Bowl Game since Fran Tark-
ington in 1970. Never mind that he was
the MVP of the game, after which Dallas
Cowboy tight end Doug Cosbie com-
mented, “‘I gained a lot of respect for
Phil Simms today...he throws the ball
with a better touch than Danny White
does.”
Never mind that he has lost his top

“faithful.” Any incomplete pass, sack, |
or interception is Phil Simms’ fault. Any |
Giants’ loss is his fault. Only Joe Morris
and the defense are responsible for
victories.
“I can’t believe the way the fans treat
him here,”’ said NBC broadcaster Bob
Trumpy. “There are few teams around
the league who wouldn’t trade their
quarterback for Phil Simms straight up...
he is still one of the top quarterbacks in
the game.”’
After the last Giant home game, a
17-14 victory over archrival Dallas, the
Giants’ offensive coordinator Ron
Erhardt said, ‘‘During the pregame in-
troductions about 40 percent of the
crowd. was booing Simms. They are
vicious. If we had Dan Fouts or Dan
Marino they’d probably boo him, too.’’
Maybe Giant fans expect Simms to
have the same efficiency as his
Meadowlands counterpart, Ken O’Brien.
However, Simms does not have Al Toon
and Wesley Walker flanked to his side.
The Giants’ lack of receivers have been
the team’s offensive problem, not Phil
Simms. CBS analyst John Madden, foot-
ball’s most colorful, popular, and in-
fluential announcer has repeatedly
defended Simms and criticized the wide
receivers this season.
“Opposing teams clog the middle and
concentrate on stopping Mark Bavaro,
(the Giants’ top end and leading receiver)
because they know the Giants don’t have
any outside man to throw to,”” Madden
commented in the Giants’ last game, a
defeat of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Of the Giant receivers, Madden said
“Phil McConkey is basically a good
fourth receiver to have around for special
teams and [rookies] Vince Warren and
Solomon Miller aren’t ready to step in
and play championship-caliber football.”
That leaves Bobby Johnson, whom Giant
head coach Bill Parcells has criticized for
not being able to get open.
Even receivers’ coach Pat Hogsdon has
put the passing games blame on his
pupils. He explained “‘The fans say to
themselves Solomon who? And Vince
who? They can’t blame someone they
don’t know so they blame Phil.

There is an athlete at Albany State who
is argueably one of the University’s most
gifted, but because he plays a relatively
minor sport, his accomplishments have
gone by all but unnoticed. A thoroughly
decent, caring person, he is enrolled in the
notoriously cold, cutthroat business
school. And although he claims his attrac-

levels of intensity, he says he participates
in order to relieve tension.

by both his coach and his teammates to
have been the backbone of the team for the
past two years. Carl Ioos, the accounting
major and potential academic all-american
who aspires to be a consultant, in order
that he may deal with people, rather than
numbers. Carl loos who, when speaking of
his faults, stated that perhaps he takes
things a bit too seriously and pushes too
hard.
“J think sometimes I worked the team a
little too hard at times,” said the senior
from Fishkill, whose blue eyes pale in com-
parison to his deeply tanned face.
“There was one practice where some of.
the guys were goofing off a little, and at
the end, when we usually do some running,

athletes who played with the team for his
four years of eligibility, (the other is all-
conference foward Tihan Presbie). The
fact that he has been rumed all-conference
only once in his four years of playing can
be attributed largely to the fact that his

one, and that the Dane booters haven’t
had a winning season in the time he has

The 25th Anniversary ended with a silver

The Mets averaged nearly 90 losses a
year for seven straight seasons from 1977
through 1983, finishing in last place five
times and next to last twice. The great
teases of ’84 and ’85 when they lost to the
Cubs with 90 wins in ’84 and then to the
Cards with 98 wins last year set the stage
for this year’s team. They were picked by
the media to win it all.
They started out 2-3 and all that was
written was ‘‘What’s wrong with the

18-1 tear and were 20-4 by May and on top

then won the pennant on October 15, pull-

Albany charged up for New Haven challenge
By Cathy Errig
STAFF WRITER
Since the final game of the Albany Great
Danes’ 1986 season is to be played against
the powerful Div. Il New Haven Chargers;
the 4-5 Danes could very well finish with a
disappointing sub .500 season.
But the challenge couldn’t make Albany
happier.
“T am very, very thankful that we’re
playing a team of New Haven’s caliber,’’
said Albany head coach Bob Ford. ‘I’m
glad we could finish out the year with a
challenge, and not with some Humpty
Dumpty team. I’d rather that -we have a
losing record but play the best.””
“We'd rather play a harder team,”
agreed defensive halfback Jerry Brown.
“If we beat them, it really pfoves that
we're good. We’d have accomplished
something. And the whole team is up emo-
tionally for this game.”
The Danes’ emotional state is something
that New Haven head coach Chris Palmer
understands.
“They'll be highly motivated, going
against a Div. II school,” said Palmer.
‘And they’re going for a .500 record, so
they’re bound to be pretty emotional.’’
But Palmer is less sure about the attitude
of his own team. Going into last week’s
game, the Chargers were 7-1, their only
loss being to American International Col-
lege, a perennial Div. II powerhouse, and
they were looking at a potential NCAA
bid. But the Chargers were blown out
Saturday by Townson State, 47-7, a loss
that should eliminate them from playoff
contention.
“I don’t know how the team is feeling
this week,”’ said Palmer. ‘I’m hoping that
emotionally, we’ll be prepared to play.’’
Palmer is also hoping for a dry field this
weekend. For, like the Danes, New Haven
is relying not so much on size this season as
they are on strength and speed, neither of
which can be utilized very well on a muddy
field.
“They’re smaller than usual,’’ said
Ford. ‘“‘We stack up closer to them
sizewise than we have against other
teams.””
Another similarity between the two
teams is that neither is familiar with each
other’s offense."The Chargers have yet to
see the wishbone this season, and likewise,
it’ll be Albany’s first time trying to defend
New Haven’s run-shoot.
“Their offense is a very difficult offense
to defend,” said Ford. ‘‘They do a very
good job of running it. We’re going to
have our hands full.””
“They throw the ball up to 70 times per
game,” said offensive line coach Jim
Margraff. ‘‘Before last week’s game
against Townson, they called it ‘New
Haven Magie’.’”
The Chargers are averaging 24.5 points
per game so far this season, and average
326 yards passing per game. A big part of
the reason for New Haven’s offensive suc-
cess has been the play of 6°4’” Charger

quarterback Michael Horton who, not in-
cluding last weekend’s game, has thrown
for 2,528 yards so far this season.
“‘He’s an excellent quarterback,’’ said
Margraff. ‘‘He has an incredibly strong
arm.”
The Chargers’ two top receivers are
senior Greg Ortamn, and junior Anton
Updale. Prior to the Townson game, Or-
tamn had 56 receptions for 716 yards and
six touchdowns. Updale has 34 catches for
530 yards and two touchdowns.
“Updale is their game breaker,” said
Margraff. ‘‘He’s got great speed.”
The Dane offense will also have their
hands full with the Charger defense, which
has been ranked as high as first in the Div.
II polls.
“They don’t have great size,’’ said
Margraff, ‘“‘but they have great strength
and quickness.””
The Chargers run a 4-3 defense,
something else the Danes haven’t yet seen
this season.
“We haven’t faced the 4-3 this year,””
said Ford. ‘‘We’re going to be tested on
both sides.
The Danes are most concerned with the
Chargers’ mid line, especially linebackers
Erik Lesinski (5’9”’, 210 Ibs.) and Mike
Murphy (5711”’, 210).
Additionally, Albany is expecting to
have trouble containing Ron Conyers and
Pete Gianakis in the secondary.
“Our defense doesn’t get much notorei-
ty,”’ said Palmer. “‘But it’s a hard-soled
defense.”*
The Chargers have given up only 133
points so far this season, giving them an
average yield of 14.7 per game.
But just as the Danes are unfamiliar
with New Haven’s game, so are the
rgers with the Danes. This will be New
aven’s first game against the-wish-bone
this season.

Egypt and Hungary.
“T think Shawn is one of the greatest athletes I’ve ever

the past few years.
He was 1986 NCAA Division II] Champion, two-time
SUNYAC champion, second olympic alternate in 1986, a
member of the 1985 U.S. World Cup team, two-time win-
ner of the National Open Greco-Roman Championships

silver in 1986, and Albany State outstanding winter
athlete and team captain in 1985-86.
With Olympic aspirations not far off in sight, Sheldon
is a contender. “If the Olympics were tomorrow, he’d be
the man for the U.S.,’’ said De Meo.
Prior to competing in this year’s World Cup in
November, Sheldon wrestled in the World Champion-
ships in Budapest, Hungary on October 23-26.
Defeated by the Cuban entrant by a 5-0 mark, Sheldon
came back to win his second match 10-3 against the Rus-
sian competitor.
“The first two matches were tough. I had to lose a lot
of weight to get down to 114, but now I feel good and
strong,”’ said Sheldon. :
This Saturday, in Oak Lawn, Illinois Sheldon will face
those two Wrestlers again. ‘‘I feel I could have wrestled
better against the Cuban. I did all right against the Rus-
sian, but I’m looking to avenge my loss,’’ Sheldon said.
This is the first time that the World Cup has ever been
held in the United States. Sponsored by the Oak Lawn
Park District and Oak Lawn International Wrestling
Club, the World Cup brings together the best teams from
around the world; one team from each continent except
Hungary which was nominated by the ruling body of
amateur wrestling, FILA.
This is the only competition where the countries com-
pete in a team format. The honor of attending the World
Cup depends on a country’s winning in Continental
Championship.
In the 1984 Olympic Games the United States won two
Gold Medals in Greco-Roman Wrestling. Steve Fraser
won in the 90 Kg. or 198-pound weight class and who
could forget the outstanding performance of Jeff Blat-

Dane icers drop mark
to 1-2 as they lose
first league game
By Steve Wortman
STAFF WRITER
The Albany State skating Danes lost their first league
game to Cortland last Sunday by a score of 5-1. Chris
Maniacci scored two goals for the visitors as they im-
proved their overall record to 4-0, while Dave Dalbec
had the lone goal for the Danes whose’ record now
stands at 1-2.
Cortland opened up a 4-0 lead midway through the
game before Albany got its first and only goal. Maniacci
opened up the scoring at 5:03 of the first period as he
took a drop pass and drilled a slapshot from just inside
the blueline past Danes’ goalie, Tim Ruggiero. Ten
minutes later while both teams were playing one man
short, Cortland scored on a two-on-none play to take a
2-0 lead.
Albany had a couple of chances in the opening twenty
minutes, but they just couldn’t connect. While the
Danes couldn’t quite click in the Offensive Zone, they
were a bit fortunate in their own end as Cortland hit the
post twice.
In the second period, Cortland went ahead 4-0 before
Dalbec, a sophomore, scored his third goal of the year
at the 10:10 mark. He was assisted by his linemates,
Scott Ely and Don Esler on the play in which he fired a
snapshot from the right faceoff circle that beat Cortland
goalie Bill Lathrop.
The Dalbec line has been the main offensive thrust for
Albany thus far as they have a total of 18 points in the
first three games.
Cortland played a solid defensive game as they did
not give the Danes many two-on-ones or three-on-twos.
They were checking very closely, not letting Albany
have too many good scoring opportunities. Commen-
ting on the effectiveness of Cortland’s defensemen,
Syracuse native Andy McGowan said, ‘These
defensemen were really good. All our shots were from
the outside. They are playing very well for it being this
early in the season.”
Albany’s Paul Cagnard took over for Ruggiero after
Dalbec’s goal and he looked very sharp as he let in only
one goal on fifteen shots. That goal came on a giveaway
