Filming the truth

_ behind UAlbany

By JEREMY MorRRISSEY
Editor in Chief

Carrying video clips with
names like Bar Sex, Midget
Cave, and Taxi Sex, its no shock
that Alltrue.com offers a guide to
UAlbany that you won’t likely
find anywhere else.

The website, a part of Alltrue
Networks, offers “A platform and
community of reality-based
video clips,” said Public Rela-
tions Manager Matt Heindl. In
early October, producers from
Alltrue, came to UAlbany as part
of a Campus College Guide. that
they described as “anti-Barron’s:
the uncensored windows on the
life, subcultures, insanity, and the
stuff that’s really going on in col-
leges.”

So when Alltrue came to this
campus, they didn’t care about
the Campus Center or the Sci-
ence Library, they were looking
to find out about such things as
the local bars, UAlbany fashion,
and fake ID’s.

ASP writer and WCDB DJ,
Kenny Herzog was one of the
people that assisted the producers

Two freshman women check out the Midget Cave

bookends of the college experi-
ence.

Herzog is featured in clips
such as “The Midget Cave,” “Bar
Sex,” and “WCDB Radio.” Other
clips include a cab driver dis-
cussing: some of the strangest
things he has seen while driving
his taxi and a pair of freshman
girls earning free pizza from
Rafaelle’s.

The 13 clips featuring UAI-
bany that Alltrue have on its web-
site, were put up on Monday as

Warning signs like this one on Indian Quad are featured in the clip Asbestos

with the filming. “I gave them
the epitomized Albany experi-
ence,” said Herzog. “We went to

the its installment of a weekly
College Guide segment. The tour
covered many of the more recog-
nized colleges along the East

website. Among their features
are pranks caught on film and a
mobile filming station known as
the “Freakbox,” which travels to
different locations and allows
people to discuss anything they
want. “We’re a library of Con-
gress for wacko videos based on
reality,” said Heindl.

The site films some work of
its own but many of the clips
come from people who submit
them to Alltrue. Among clips on
the website are videos such as
Grandma Porn Star and Plush
Toy Massacre. For the wide
range and limited requirements
that Alltrue has regarding its sub-
missions, Heindl says they’re
“looking for submissions of
videos of anything.”

Herzog, who worked at All-
true Networks between semes-
ters, described its videos as being
“Not reality video in a voyeuris-
tic sense like the Real World.”
He described it as similar to
another MTV show, “Jackass,”
but “not as. intent as being over
the top. The humor is more subtle
and witty.”

Alltrue.com gave a brief
glimpse of UAlbany, but it hopes
to get more. “This is just our
snapshot of the University, stu-
dents should send tapes in.”

Unlike most college guides,
Alltrue’s depended on the stu-
dent’s perspective. Heindl said,

Rivers of beverage commis-
sions stream from Coca-Cola to
the University as a percentage of
the price paid for each soda,
juice, or water sold on campus.
Royalties earned on the differ-
ence between their cost and the
vend price for sodas, juice, and
bottled water may explain the
incredible markups on auxiliary
services, such as vending for the
University.

The ASP received a copy of
Coca-Cola’s exclusive ten-year
contract with the University’s

Ranting Raver:

The joy of SKN shopping

By JUSTIN KEESEY
Staff Writer

It is 7:50 p.m. and I am sit-
ting in class, bored out of. my
skull. I am.acutely aware of all of
my -surroundings except .for the
professor droning five rows in
front of me. My only solace is the
thought, “Hey, it’s only two more
hours.”

Actually, that is not any con-
solation at all. So why am I here,
stuck in class until 10 p.m. on a
Wednesday night? It is partially
my fault. I did not register
halfway through last semester
along with everyone else. No, I
was too busy doing things like
working and focusing on classes
in which I was already enrolled.

Now I can’t find my way
into any classes at all. This
semester, | have barely been able
to keep myself enrolled full-time.
Professor after professor has said
to me, “Keep coming to class,
there will be openings,” only to
tell me after the second week of
class, “Sorry, there’s nothing I
can do. We are already above the
fire code limit for this room, and
I have fifteen more students than
I am supposed to.”

While smacking myself in
the head for my lack of foresight,

I think to myself that when I
enrolled at this University, I was
told that I would have a wide
variety of classes from which to
choose. They did not mention
that I would not be able to enroll
in any of them. I am upset, Is this

-my fault? OK, so I was a moron

and didn’t enroll, on time. The
school, however, needs to share
the blame.

Some of the classes I have
been trying to get into have wait-
ing lists of more than 30 people.
Thats enough to open another
section. But they can not. The
professors are already over-
loaded, they say. I am not sur-
prised.

Enrollment has gone up
every year at this school, yet
there is a disproportionate num-
ber of professors being hired.
How can this campus. justify
spending millions on its “Master
Plan,” redesigning and remodel-
ing, while there are not enough
professors to teach the students?
We are not getting an education.
We are getting screwed.

_ The next time you are fight-
ing for an SKN to get into an
already overloaded class, remem-
ber that. If someone actually
cared, maybe the school would
be forced to do something about
it.

Sarcastic Socrates:

Valentine’s Day

Massacre

By GreG C. HEVIA
Staff Writer

Valentine’s Day is on the
horizon and I must say that.I just
do not know what to do this year.
In the 21 Valentine’s Days I have
lived through, I was never actual-
ly dating anyone, unless you
count the time someone broke up
with me on Valentine’s Day. As
a result, this day has always been
one of introspection for me.

I do not just wear all black
because that is what the cool sin-
gle kids are doing. I look
around, and for a moment, this
frozen teenage wasteland is
abuzz with love and flowers and
happy thoughts.

Somewhere beneath my cyn-
ical, bitter facade, I have a heart
that enjoys watching this and
wishes that everyone who has
found happiness out there comes
down with a really, really bad
rash because you all just don’t
know how lucky you are.

What I mean by this is that
people in relationships, and sin-
gle people for that matter, do not

realize just how special these
connections are. It is something
we take for granted; something
we do not realize is special until
itis gone. To have someone is to
be lucky, fortunate, even blessed
in a way. . That interpersonal
connection on all levels is
unique, and should be treated as
such.

So my beef with Valentine’s
Day is the fact that it exists at all.
Do we need to have one day
where we step back and celebrate
our good fortunes? No we do not.
We should not have to have a hol-
iday to recognize our caring for
someone. In fact, we should
never stop recognizing it. This
is something people should cele-
brate every day, instead of just
one out of 365 days.

Why should romance and
special treatment ever end, only
to be picked back up once a year?
Valentine’s Day: the tender
embrace of love, the sweet caress
of togetherness, the beauty of it
all, which we celebrate with a
card and some candy. It should
be a year-round thing, not just
another X on the calendar.

I say that we should do
more. Why not a parade, or
some big party, like Carnival in
Brazil? This is the ONLY day to
celebrate love, while we have
several days to celebrate wars.
So shouldn’t we do more than
buy. a $10 bottle of wine and
watch the latest Tom Hanks/Meg
Ryan flick? The answer is a
definitive yes.

Maybe I am just a romantic
but I want to do more. I want
my girl to know and feel that she
is loved, and I do not ever want
her to stop feeling that. I think
that we should step back more
often to recognize those we love.

Maybe then there would be
more days to celebrate love, and
less to celebrate wars. So in
conclusion, I hope all of us, sin-
gle and hitched, realize how
lucky we are, and do not ever for-
get it. Also, an upcoming col-
umn will be on the effect that
computers have had on relation-
ships, so if you have any opinions
you would like to share, e-mail
Celticnyc7 @ aol.com.

Have a happy Valentine’s
Day.

entral Council:

Addresses for sale!

By GreG C. HEVIA
Staff Writer

This week’s Central Council
meeting was an eventful one,
although little got done in the
way of legislation.

Vice President of Business
and Finance Paul Stec spoke to
council about plans for ‘new
housing, President McCampbell
talked about potentially selling
student addresses to a ring com-
pany, and Steve Castano
explained the recent delay of sale
of Weezer concert tickets.

Stec took the stage first and
immediately addressed the fact
that the university has had a glut
of enrollment in the recent years.
He announced plans to give these
students something they have
long been waiting for, a roof over
their heads.

UAlbany hopes to build gar-
den style apartments in a 25 acre
area of land extending from
Washington to Fuller and the
Health Center. These apart-
ments should be in the final
phase of construction by 2002.
UAlbany is currently in the
process of taking bids. from con-
tracters.

Other announcements from
Albany directors were also made.
The number 12 bus line is now

free to SUNY students all the
time. Tunnel doors will be reno-
vated for fire safety. UAS repre-
sentative Julia Filipone also
spoke and said that there is still
being work done to improve the
quality of food on campus. At
one point she even noted that in
the last year of Marriot’s control
of the food service, local busi-
nesses called to complain that too
many SUNY students were
ordering takeout for them to keep
up with.

Next came announcements
from council. Brian Levine
announced that starting March
11, the library will be open until
1 a.m. on Sunday.

Then came an announce-
ment from Steve Castano con-
cerning Weezer. ‘Tickets for the
upcoming concert at the RACC
were supposed to go on sale this
past Wednesday but did not due
to problems with the printing of
the tickets. Apparently a bad
batch of tickets got printed, so
neither SA or WCDB, the
cosponsors of the concert, are to
blame. Tickets will go on sale as
soon as the situation is smoothed
out. :
The royal rumble of the
night came when Erin McCamp-
bell gave her report. She
announced that she is thinking of
having SA essentially sell the

addresses of graduating students
to a ring company. SA would
give the company the addresses,
and earn a percentage from every

sale that the company makes due

to the advertising. This is not
illegal, although the ethics of
such a practice were brought into
question.

The people’s champion of
the night was Andrew Hartmann,
who proposed a bill that asked
McCampbell not to sell the
addresses. This bill failed
because nothing has actually
been sold yet, and discussions
about the potential sale have
barely begun.

Council fought violently
over the matter. Many members
argued that it was not illegal and
would help SA make money,
while others argued that the sale
would violate the privacy rights
of the students who SA repre-
sents.

The counterpoint to this was
that any student could get his or
her name taken off of the list by
calling the SA office at 442-5640,
or by dropping by the SA office
and filling. out the necessary
forms. No permanent decision
was made on the matter and so
ended another council meeting,
this time on an angry note.

Beverage prices
deceive students

Continued From Page I

Conservatively estimating
the mixture ratio between the
soda and water at 1:1 results in an
estimated 10 cents cost per 12 oz
of soda.

Such large margins may
explain how the UAS was able to
report gross profits of $9,780,275
on sales of $15,607,656 , accord-
ing to their latest filing with the
Internal * Revenue _ Service
obtained by the ASP under Fed-
eral Freedom of Information
statutes.

Royalties are a fixed percent
of selling price and higher bever-
age prices equate to larger com-
missions for the UAS. Since the
UAS has carried over surpluses
between $2-3 million over the
last few years, why can’t prices
be lowered to give students a
break?

Executive Director Julia Fil-
ippone justifies UAS pricing
policies that provide over $1.5
million to the University and up
te $100,000 for student groups.
“Every time we make a contribu-
tion to the University, it relieves
some of the fiscal pressure on the
University, which might other-
wise be passed on to students,”
said Filippone.

Few would question that
UAS funds are used for enhanc-
ing the University. Indeed the
Coke contract specifies, “The
parties wish to ackhowledge that
$ [CENSORED] of the Upfront

Royalty will be used to fund the
completion of construction of
University’s new library.”

Many do question the pro-
priety of funding construction
costs from the threadbare pockets
of predominately low-income
students who attend public uni-
versities. They argue, since the
State is supposed to fund most of
the University, SUNY should
seek money for building projects
from the Legislature.

Otherwise, the argument
goes, the UAS is usurping the
Legislature’s prerogative to
determine revenue sources and
destinations.

The ASP attempted to attend
the UAS February board meet-
ing, on Wednesday, but the board
voted, in Executive Session, to
continue convening in closed
sessions, which was surprising
since its contract provides for
inspection of its minutes.

“The corporation shall have

available for inspection by any -

member of the campus commu-
nity the minutes of annual or any

regular meetings, annual certified -

financial statements, and annual
budgets and subsequent revi-
sions,” stipulates Section V in
Exhibit A of the contract between
the UAS and SUNY.

While the ASP is unable to
provide timely coverage of board
activities, students may contact
the UAS, at 442-5950, to inspect
the documents.

The Quiet Victim: Unreported Rape

By JEREMY MORRISSEY
Editor in Chief

The rape reported on January
30 was the first forcible sexual
offense reported to the University
Police Department since 1998
and only the sixth in the last four
years.

Yet between 1997 and 1999,
there were 27 such acts reported
to other campus officials. These
other officials could be Resident
Assistants, teachers, coaches, or
employees at the Health center

Drive responsibly.

Verizon Wireless.

among others.

A study done by Mary Koss
in 1987 concluded that 1 in 4 col-
lege women have experienced
rape or attempted rape since the
age of 14. A more recent study
done by the U.S. Justice Depart-
ment’s National Institute of Jus-
tice and Bureau of Justice Statis-
tics revealed that 1.7 percent of
female college students reported
being raped and about 1.1 percent
reported an attempted rape dur-
ing one academic year. But Julie
Heslin, Coordinator for Sexual
Assault Prevention and Educa-

tion, warns that these numbers
can be deceiving, “Three percent
may. not sound like a lot but it is
when its multiplied to a large
population like a college cam-
pus,” says Heslin.

With such high percentages,
even the 27 incidents reported in
a span of 3 years is much lower
than national averages leading to
speculation that many incidents
are not getting reported. The
widespread underreporting of
rape and other sexual offenses
can be tied to multiple factors
says Heslin, “People feel they

wonit be believed, or the person
was drinking, or they have mixed
feelings of the whole thing.”

These are some of the issues
that will be addressed in Campus
Forum: “Crossing the Line:
Issues involved in Deciding
Whether to Report Rape and
Other Forms of Sexual Assault.”
The forum will have guest speak-
ers from the Albany District
Attorney’s Office, the UAlbany
Director of Judicial Affairs, as
well as Heslin.

The forum will allow atten-
dees to ask questions and discuss

veri ZOMN wireless

issues of safety on the campus as
well as in the Albany area. The
presenters will also discuss the
reporting options of a victim and
things that might get in the way
of someone reporting a sexual
offense.

This forum is just one of the
ways that Heslin feels the Uni-
versity helps victims and all stu-
dents regarding sexual attacks.
Other events such as the Sexual
Assault presentation during the
Summer Planning conference
and the Rape Aggression Defense
program held by UPD also helps
to raise awareness. Another
breakthrough the University has
is the Response Plan.

The Response Plan is
described as a_ coordinated
response to the sexual assault of
students. It is intended for all
members of the University com-
munity to present the options to a
victim. The guidelines vary
depending on the options that the
victim chooses but the first two -
steps are kept the same in all
cases: Insure the victimis safety
and refer the victim for immedi-
ate medical treatment.

From there, the recommend-
ed route is transport to a hospital
emergency room and to instruct
the victim to report the crime.
Those two choices are left up to
the victim but in all circum-
stances the Office of the Vice-
President for Student Affairs is
notified of the incident. If the vic-
tim "chooses, they: can.give their
name in this report. These reports
could be essential for anyone that
is raped.

“As few as four years ago
only police reports were accepted
in court now other reports are
too,” said Heslin.

Whether a victim wants to
report an offense or not, Heslin
says that one of the most essential
ideas that she tries to advocate is
the value of timeliness. “A victim
should go in a timely way to
either the Counseling Center or
the Rape Crisis Center (in

Albany) to confidentially discuss
their options.”

There once was a time when bands
like Pantera, Faith No More, Helmet, and
all the participants in the Judgement Night
soundtrack blazed a hopeful trail for pro-
gressive heavy music: Whether they were
infusing it with hip-hop in a fresh and
exciting manner or adding intelligence to
metal while destroying its glam excesses,
the era from about 1990-1995 was a great
one for angry adolescents.

Simultaneously, the unfortunately
labeled “grunge” revolution gave budding
“Gen X’ers” a chance to experience the

Return of the Crock

ma of Creed. By playing the religious
card, they’ve attracted listeners on the
moral right without much initial MTV
support via their staunch moral values,
much like Metallica did fifteen years ago
by having none.

Except rock n’ roll isn’t and never
was about morals or the preaching there-
of. Nor was it intended to be driven by
acts like Matchbox Twenty, Vertical Hori-
zon or Fuel, who endorse illusory style
over genuine substance and mistake radio
ready tracks for well-written moments in
music history. [f I have to see one more

likes of the Screaming Trees, Dinosaur Jr.
and Soul Asylum on the radio, helping
them through their twenty-somethings
with solid tunes.

Where did everything go wrong! As
far as our ass-kicking, mosh-pit inducing
noise makers of metal, I blame it all on
Fred Durst. He put together a band that’s
so mediocre and glaring in its derivative
aspects that it’s offensive enough. More
importantly, since when did b-boy postur-
ing and dancing girls in Yankees caps typ-
ify the articulated rage that’s supposed to
define the stuff that kids bang their heads
to?

I even have concrete evidence that
Mr. Durst is to blame. Have you noticed

all these bands like Cold or Disturbed.

with names that reflect emotional pain,
clothes that evoke a Gap Goth kid and
vocals that sound like Eddie Vedder play-
ing Linda Blair in the The Exorcist? Now,
look on the back of the CD cases.

A good percentage of them are
emblazoned with the sign of their new
home, Interscope records. Who. was
recently appointed in charge of signing all
of the label’s acts? You guessed it: Fred “I
throw luncheon meat at insecure girls
wanting to feel important by having sex
with me in the ‘Backstage Sluts” movies”
Durst.

Ironically, his mortal enemy, Scott
Stapp of Creed is on equal grounds with
him as far as being a target of my rage
goes. Not just the singer specifically.
Every member who compromises this
bland, sickening-to-hear-a-single-note-or-
wail-of, undeserving of a “Behind the
Music,” ultimate symbol of the demise of
any cultural skin, so-called “rock” group

crooning in his best Van Morrison voice,
I’m liable to head over to every major
label and top 40 programmer with a god-
damn machete and hold them hostage
until they give our music its integrity back
as ransom.

Sure, I can burrow into my under-
ground cavern of obscure’ music. That’s
not the point though.

For one thing, it’s not like Howard
Stern. I can’t change the channel or turn
the dial if I don’t like what I’m hearing.
That seems awfully undemocratic and a
little sketchy based on the millions of
bands, many of them good ones, there are
to choose from besides the staple month-
long rotations of twenty in mainstream
media outlets.

It’s not all that surprising or subtle
however, based on the well-known and
first ever mysterious legal case of “pay-
ola” that got Limp Bizkit its first play on
the airwaves for a mere sum of several
thousand dollars.

This is bigger than all that. Rock
seemed like it was going somewhere. It
appeared that circa 1995 or so, we were on
the cusp of a utopian scenario where good
music played by deserving artists blared
from the antenna of every radio station
and speaker of every stereo. It was a world
of raw emotion, music played with pas-
sion, purpose and imagination. That was
somewhere over the rainbow however. All
that was really left at the end of it was the
lifeless gimmickry that passes for rock
and roll today. It has sent us spiraling
backwards into a place that’s eerily simi-
Jar to the decade that gave image and
redundancy a place in the sun to begin
with - the 1980s.

Recent Releases: For the head
bobbers and toe tappers

By Puitie RAFFAELE
Staff Writer

Push Button Objects — 360 Degrees
(Chocolate Industries) - With guest
appearances by Mr. Lif, DJ Craze, and Del
the Funky Homosapien, plus infectious
beats laid down by the hip-hop-tronic Push
Button Objects, this 12” remains unbeliev-
ably cohesive, even though there is much
variation through sound and rhyme style.
Each part fits together perfectly, creating a
masterpiece in modern sound. This is just
creating mass anticipation for the new full
length PBO, which is allegedly titled
Ghetto Blaster.

~ Ty —Awkward (Big Dada) - Iwasa
little skeptical upon first listen, as some of
the other UK hip hop that I’ve heard real-
ly lacked in intensity. Although this does
not make me want to jump up and down, it
is still an interesting listen, lying in the
same style as Roots Manuva. From what I
hear, UK hip-hop is on the rise, and Ty
might be the one to propel the genre to
American audiences.

Brokeback — Morse Code in the Mod-
ern Age (Thrill Jockey) - Doug
McCombs, bassist for Tortoise, developed
Brokeback out of the need for some solo
expression, and to discover new collabora-
tions with other musicians. This is a col-
lection of improvisational sessions featur-
ing people like James McNew of Yo La
Tengo and Mary Hansen of Stereolab.
This is a laid back disc which really
explores some uncharted musical ground,
but remains in the vicinity of the Thrill
Jockey vein. Included on the CD are two
short films by Braden King. All together,
this disc is a really nice package.

South — Broken Head (MoWax) -

South is my new favorite band. I can’t get
enough of these guys. An out of the ordi-
nary signing for MoWax, but in this case,
variation is the spice of life. With strong
vocals, that put bands like Travis and oth-
ers to shame, and backed by insane instru-
mental variations, South is the band to
watch in the coming months. The B-side
of this 12” has a remix by Jagz Kooner,

The return

By TIMOTHY BLUM
Staff Writer

For die hard fans, it has been an
extremely long five years since the last
studio album of arguably the most
under-rated band of the last decade,-
Weezer. The hiatus can be attributed to
a number of things, such as the band
members wanting some personal time,
but now they’re back, and they’re clos-
er than you think.

The band will kick off a tour at the
end of the month sponsored by Yahoo!,
including a stop at the RACC right here
on the campus of UAlbany. (Tickets
will be available soon.)

The tour will most likely promote
the sale of the band’s third. album,
recorded in January, being mixed now,
and scheduled for release in early
spring.

Coming on to the scene in 1994
with their first hit, “Undone” (The

Sweater Song), the band released their |

first self-titled album which went dou-
ble platinum: In addition, the single
“Buddy Holly” received various. Gram-
my and MTV awards as well.

In 1996 the band released its fol-

low-up, Pinkerton, an album that was .

stronger and more meaningful than its
predecessor. It received great critical
acclaim but only went gold in record
sales. Since that time bassist Matt
Sharp has left, in good terms, and has
been replaced by Boston native Mikey
Welsh.

Along with original members

of Weezer

Rivers Cuomo, Pat Wilson, and Brian
Bell, Weezer set out last year to make a
third album, but wanted to test out new
material before heading into the studio.
The result was two American tours, one
in the summer and the other in the fall,
plus a two week trip to play in Japan,
where they are also very popular.
Armed with producer Ric Ocasek,

who worked on the first album, the

band went into the studio just after
Christmas and has just recently finished
recording. All that awaits now is some
technical work and then Weezer begins
its tour February 21 in Austin, Texas.

The Weez will make it to 20 US.
cities in just under a month and should
be releasing the album somewhere
around that time, although no official
word has been posted. In an industry
that has been taken over by Britney
Spears and the MTV villains, it will be
refreshing to listen to some good, real
music for a change. Visit weezernet for
more information.

Tickets for the March 6 Weezer
show at the UAlbany RACC are
expected to go on sale soon, and

will be available at WCDB on

the third floor of the Campus
Center. For information on
these tickets, call the ticket info

Sex with Hi-liters:

Would a real awards
show please stand up?

By KENNY HERZOG
Staff Writer

Let’s just get something straight
right off the bat. The Grammys mean
nothing. They mean even less than the
MTV Awards and are vastly less enter-
taining.

It’s a way for “the industry” to pat
some of its most fruitful and cooperative
artists on the back for helping to keep
their companies alive. It has much less to
do with recognizing art, ingenuity, or true
burgeoning talent than it does with the
fashion show that goes on beforehand.

This might be no big secret, but the
Academy has hardly made more than
baby steps in recent years to correct the
situation. The whole world kissed Lauryn
Hill’s ass for about five seconds and
somehow that was supposed to make up
for years of shortsightedness, bias, and
boring, self-congratulatory bullsh*t.

So lo and behold, it pulled quite a
fancy reverse psychology trick this time

around. In order to flip the image that has.

perpetuated for the lackluster awards
show, who better to nominate for more
awards than anyone but the devil him-
self? Eminem, received four nods this
year. This would be great if it weren’t so
transparently done for all the wrong rea-
sons.
While president of the Academy
Michael Greene insisted that “you’ve
really got to view this in the context of art
being a pretty extreme medium some-
times,” I thinkGrammy historian Tom
O’Neil let the true cat out of the bag,
whether he meant to or not.

On whether Eminem’s being shut
out of the prestigious record and song of
the year categories was a major snub, he
says “ Anytime an artist so dominates an
industry like he has this year...we usually
see them represented across the board.”

That says it all right there. Eminem
was not nominated for his significant
artistic contributions to pop music in the
past year. He was “represented” in cate-
gories where he was one of a handful of
artists who sold at least a few million
records in that genre.

The extra boost goes to him over say,
Nelly because it’s the ultimate way of
making the Grammy’s look hip. What
could be cooler and more anti-establish-
ment than the establishment showering
its biggest pain in the ass with gold stat-
uettes? It’s a clever move, but not one
that can escape its transparency.

If the Grammy folks were to have a
full-proof plan, they might have wanted
to avoid these key mistakes. The biggest
one would arguably be the elimination of
Outkast from all categories. Their choic-
es for rap nominees in general were
alarmingly uneducated.

How ironic is it that the stuffy old
voters who so look down upon hip-hop as
an art form, skipped over every single
one of its most intelligent and innovative
artists aside from Eminem, in favor of
thugged-out chart busters like DMX and
Jay-Z? Much like those who voted for
Nader should supposedly have no right to
complain about Bush, I don’t want to
hear a single word out of conservative
media’s mouth ever again about the banal
and violent threat to society that is rap.

As for the other awards being hand-
ed out, almost every category. had its

token band or musician that was meant to
give youthful credibility. Nominating
Trent Reznor for best male «rock vocal
performance (whatever that means), only
comes off as forced’when you put it up
against Grammy stalwarts like David
Bowie, Bob Dylan and Don Henley.
Now if they replaced Henley with
say, Thom Yorke, I might have been
fooled into thinking their intentions were

I’m sure that.all the Academy.mem-
bers spent many more hours reading
about how you’re dumb, deaf and simply
not “with it” if you don’t flip over Kid A,
than they did in their rooms with the
lights out, contemplatively taking the
record in. Considering Radiohead’s peers
in the best “alternative album” category -
an album by Beck that was released in
1999 and middle-aged ex-Beatle Paul
McCartney - I’m still having trouble
believing they really sifted hard through
the thousands of artistic offerings that
came out of 2000.

The only thing alternative about the
choice of McCartney is that it strayed
from the otherwise snore-inducing choic-
es of Lenny Kravitz, Matchbox Twenty
and Creed. These three highly untalented
bastions of commercial fluff/pockmarks
on the face of rock music dominated
most every category involving guitars
and drums.

Funny you don’t hear that mentioned
in the press releases.

This kind of inconsistency and lack -

_of any real intrigue runs throughout the

entire broadcast, down the line through
the R&B awards and perhaps even the
newest category, best Native American
Music Album for all I know (and I’m not
kidding-there is such a category).

My suggestion is not to take the
mass nomination of Marshall Mathers,
even if he should win them all, for any
more than what it truly is. The whole
broadcast shouldn’t be taken for any
more than what it truly is, let alone
watched by millions of viewers. It’s a cel-
ebration of average talent, record sales
and celebrity, with a few obligatory “sur-
prises” thrown in to ensure they nail all
the possible demographics for their rat-
ings and have, against all doubt, stopped
listening to their copy of Paul Simon’s
“Graceland” and finally turned their ears
towards the inus., 2 ay.

Behind Your Television:

Is realit

By MATTHEW LISSAUER
Staff Writer

The summer is a time when
everyone goes on a break. And
such is the case with television.
On each channel all one sees is
countless reruns. If there is anew
show, the chance of it gaining
even the slightest success is usu-
ally slim to none. ABC’s “Who
Wants To Be A Millionaire?”
became the first in recent excep-
tions, but that was nothing com-
pared to the huge success that
CBS had last summer.

All that-they did was ask 16
average Joes and Janes to give up
their phones, their lights, and
their motorcars, and try to outwit,
outplay, and outlast each other in
hopes of winning a million dol-
lars. “Survivor” soon became a
monster hit, giving CBS the rat-
ings boost it needed. They also
gained a whole new age group,
18-30 year olds, who mostly are
tuned to the WB or NBC. CBS
had past attempts (i.e. “Central
Park West’), but they were very
unsuccessful. For the whole run,
“Survivor” was the talk of the
country. And all this was attrib-
uted to 16 stranded castaways
there on Survivor isle.

“Survivor” not only intro-
duced a new age group to CBS,

but it also revitalized reality TV-
which was mostly stuck either on
MTV’s “Real World’, or in
movies like “EDTV”. After the
summer, all the networks were
just aching to cash in on this new
form of entertainment.

Perhaps the most ridiculous is
Fox’s “Temptation Island”,
which is a more sexually exotic
version of “Survivor”. In the
show, four couples are asked to
risk their relationship, and avoid
being tempted by the attractive
young people that happen to
inhabit this remote island.
Perhaps most of this show’s suc-
cess lies in the immense media
coverage 2) tems iS show.
“Temptation Island” is mostly a
sweeps-week show that just got
out of hand. Each week the show
manages to land on Mr. Neilson’s
Top 20. It’s a shame that this
show is just as low as “When
Aliens Attack Bears,” but what
can you expect from Fox. Maybe
the creator of the show should be
dragged out into the street and
shot. Only then will we be saved
from crap like this.

Not if ABC has anything to do
with it, because they got their
own lame reality show, “The
Mole.” This show’s concept is
having a team of 10 people (5
men and 5 women) do mental and
physical tasks while the loving

audience watches. Oh and get
this, the catch is that there is a
saboteur, who is out to prevent
the others from getting the job
done. Of course no one would do
this for free, its got to be for a
large sum of money. How’s a
million dollars? Talk about mis-
takes, this show hasn’t been the
catch that ABC was hoping for,
nor is it even a great concept.
But, wait there’s more!

After the Super Bowl,
“Survivor” made a comeback.
Now 16 more people can outwit,
outplay, and outlast in_ the
Outback. Perhaps they chose that
location so sentences like those
can be made. But is this show
different? Let’s see. Are they
forming into “tribes”? Yes. Is it
for a million dollars? Yes. Are
we to sit and listen to how some
guy made rat meat for everyone?
Nope, this time is kangaroo meat.
Is there some guy who, for his
birthday, is going to strip naked?
God I hope not! Are they still
going to have to scrounge for
food while the CBS staff and
crews sleeps and eat in a nice lux-
urious hotel conveniently placed
off camera? Well, duh!

Certainly, “Survivor IT” is fol-
lowing a lot from its mother

how dumb the American public
is, this show was in the Top 3 last

There still is
a huge difference between watch-
ing TV, and watching 20 or so
people sit locked in an apartment
doing that same thing for a
month. What’s the point of all
these shows? I wish I had an
answer. To me, there is no point.

‘It’s just one more reason to flip

the channel. Each decade had its
own TV craze. The 60’s had
variety shows, the 70s had soaps,
the 80s had game shows, and the
90s had talk shows. If the zeros’

- Physical Graffiti:

In defense of porn

By JONATHAN FALTIN
Staff Writer

Now, there is absolutely nothing
wrong with pornography, and there is
nothing wrong with the people who
watch, make, perform in, or buy it.

You know who has the problem? All
the people who are against pornography.
You know why? Because they can’t get
any sex so they are so repressed that any-
thing even remotely sexual is indecent or
wrong or whatever. Now that I got that
off my chest, I would like to respond to
the one e-mail I received regarding last
weeks article. ,

I would like to thank the person who
sent me that e-mail and I agree entirely
with your views on the boy and girl bands
that Disney has deemed “fit for consump-
tion’. I do not, however, agree with your
stance on football.

It turns out that the person who sent
me this e-mail had some great views on
boy bands and that whole culture, but lost
all credibility when he/she questioned the
activity of watching the Super Bowl.

Are you crazy? Do you have some
sort of social disease? Football is a sport
that allows men to crush each other and
gain points and money and fame in doing
so. And the Super Bowl itself, regardless
of who’s playing, is an American
Tradition. An American reason to get stu-
pidly drunk and yell at the TV and eat
exhorbetent amounts of greasy food.
Football is a solely American tradition in
itself, a great stress relief.

I think I can place someone like you
though. You probably watch bowling
tournaments and NASCAR, always tun-
ing into the Country Music Channel to
tape the latest rerun of “The Dukes of
Hazzard.” Just the good ol’ boys, never
meaning no harm, eh? :

Well, for your information, I was
requesting e-mails regarding the awful
halftime show and also fans of said awful
groups (you know who you are). So let’s
try not to knock the fine game of football
or the people who watch and enjoy it.

In other news, I have yet to receive an
e-mail from fans of these groups so I
question the existence of actual fans, as
opposed to those people who are paid. I
guess the intelligence level to listen to and
buy these group’s recordings is propor-
tionate to what it takes to make said

- recordings.

It all seems to make sense now, YOU
PEOPLE ARE NOT SMART AT ALL!!
(Now that was a direct attack on all your
taste and integrity, and I wouldn’t take
that sh*t, if I were you, I would kick that
kid’s ass!!)

Anyway, you people have to get in
touch with me and let me know how you
feel or else I will lose complete respect for
any . of “you.. So. - my. Gana “is
scoobidew@ hotmail.com and I am mak-
ing a call to all fans of Back-door Boys
and Britney Whores, and Christina
Agu...whatever, etc.

Give me a good argument and I will
publicly write my concession ... give me a
bad argument and you will become the
target of public ridicule. That should be
reason enough to throw me something, or

at A

Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Britney Spears.

I will continue in this way until the world
is swallowed up by a larger organism
which hopefully has some sort of musical
taste, or else we are all doomed forever.

In conclusion, let’s get back to my
original statement, “there is NOTHING
WRONG WITH PORNOGRAPHY!!!”

If you think there is something wrong
with pornography you can e-mail me that
too, and I'll set you straight. I’m not
changing that stance for anyone!! So send
me an e-mail because I’m trying to make
this an interactive article and not just a
public bashing of what sucks.

So remember, there is no God and
there is no heaven, but there is a hell and
I call it Topeka, Kansas. Do not go there
or you will forever burn in the fires that
surround that awful place.

After a semester of uncertainty, there
are finally answers about a large mysteri-
ous machine in the Indian Quad Dining
Hall called Hickory 10.10.

The five-foot-high roaster went most-
ly unused last semester. The idle
machine, however, did not go unnoticed.
Dining Hall patron Ben Tabar said he
“definitely noticed it wasn’t being used”
and “wanted to decorate it or something.”

The onset of the second semester was
a major turning point for the Hickory
10.10. Students returned to school to find
the machine working.

University Dining Service (UAS)
Indian Quad Supervisor Louis Sangster
said the Hickory 10.10 was put back into
heavy rotation in response to student
demand.

The 10.10 was jist “sitting out here
instead of doing what it’s basically used
for.” When asked if the Hickory 10.10
could be used to cook a variety of foods,
Sangster replied, “just chickens—strictly
for chickens.”

Although the Hickory 10.10 is about
10 or 15 years old, it boasts a capacity of

-30 chickens at one time, according to Indi-

an Quad chef Randy Johnson. Johnson
said that the Hickory 10.10 is used to cook
about 60 to 75 chickens a day, four days a
week — a vegetarian’s nightmare, but a
dining hall chef’s dream.

In Brecher’s words, the first semester
“it looked like it was collecting dust and it
was really nasty and all of a sudden they
shoved the chickens on it and it’s dinner.”
If only it were that easy. The poultry
preparation process is actually a four-step
one. As Johnson described, “we cook it
out here, cut it down—break it down in the
back, and serve it on line, and then we
reload again.” - The system has proven
quite efficient for Johnson in recent years.

So far this semester, student demand
for the roasted chicken has been well off
Chartwell’s charts. For Brecher, “seeing

it was an emotional contest and
this was foreshadowed even before it
began. Two Siena starters, center
Nelson Richardson and forward
Frank Dver dunked balls in the pre-
game driils to the delight of the home
lans. These maneuvers only resulted
in technical fouls (dunking is not
allowed in college hoop) being called
on Sicna which the Danes’ Winston
Royal converted into a quick 2-0
Albany lead.

Albany retained possession, and
working the ball around, quickly
opened up a four-point lead on
Cavanaugh’s ten-foot yumper. But

Albany was in po hurry
throughout the half as they
employed their “four-corner”
offense looking for the open man. If
they did not find anyone open, the
Danes were content to hold onto the
ball and pass off only when tightly

directed the offense and thereby
assumed control of the game.

Audi said afterward that “by slow-
ing down we took them right out of
the game.” Coach Kirsch, however,
regarded the stall as insignificant.
“We didn’t play. that’s all.”

In any case, the Indians’ running
game did not seem to be too elective
as they struggled to keep up with the
Danes’ pout total. With 10:30 leftin

Port. “There weren’t many chickens on
[the Hickory 10.10 rotisserie oven]. It
seemed like they didn’t plan for everyone
to want chicken, but everyone wanted it.”
Is there any more that the staff and
students could want from a roaster? If
offered the chance to acquire a hypotheti-
cal “Hickory 10.20,” what would Johnson
want of it? “Just a new model,” said
Johnson. But bringing in a newer model
might not be the best decision at this point.
“Tf they did it now, it would be send-
ing the message that the students aren’t
happy with the chicken as it is currently
being made,” said Port.
Other controversy surrounding the
Hickory 10.10 stems from it’s very name.
When asked if the Hickory 10.10 truly
gives the chicken a hickory taste, Johnson
replied, “that was just aname. We season
it, that’s where the flavor comes from.”
The roaster is also made of a steel alloy—
there is no wood of any kind involved.
While future models should probably
be named Dining-Hall-Staff Seasoned

Concrete Blonde:

Burn baby, burn

By DoREE LEWAK
Staff Columnist

Have you been in constant
search for new ways to get the
maximum number of your
friends in your bed and get
money for it too? If I were to tell
you that you can do both, you
probably wouldn’t believe me.
With $599, a spare room, and a
high tolerance against carcino-
gens, then you may be a prime
candidate for an at-home tanning
bed.

For years, that itching, burn-
ing, bubbling, redness, freckling,
and fever sensation could only be
achieved by those restrictive tan-
ning salons; now, discover what
millions already know and yield
all the results of public tanning
salons in the comfort of your
own home.

Do you love the look of
leather but can never afford it?
‘Now you finally have your
chance. After just a few sessions,
you'll have the leather look
you've always wanted. (For
those of you under 21, those tan-
ning sessions will translate to
premature aged skin, convenient
when you’re trying to get into 21]
or over venues).

Without having to make
those appointments or juggle
your tanning sessions in between
your classes, your skin doctor
examinations and your overall
hectic schedule, the only appoint-
ment you’ll need is the one right
in the next bedroom.

The at-home tanning bed is
the gift that keeps on giving. It’s
the gift your tan-aholic friends
will love and their skin will never
forget. With so many choices on
the market these days, it’s diffi-
cult to find that ideal gift for the
one you love. These technologi-
cal gadgets and fads will become
obsolete in months, making your
gift useless. Which is why the
beauty of an at-home tanning bed
is so vital to understand: cancer
never goes out of style! All your
tanning dreams can be realized in

One convenient at-home model. .

It may have dermatologists reel-
ing, but your friend’s perennial
glow will never die.

It’s an excuse to throw a
party. Make your new tanning
bed the focal point of your enter-
tainment. What otherwise would

be a generic college party can be

revolutionized in four easy pay-
ments of $125/ month. Your tan-
ning parties will be the talk of the
town. For less money at the door

Be

than most other parties charge,
your friends will have to look no
further for all their tanning and
entertainment needs.

So whatever the occasion,
whether it be spring break right
around the corner, a big birthday,
or even national skin cancer
month, the “I have a death wish
gift” is an at-home. tanner’s
dream come true. You will never

feel alone when a tanning bed is |

right in the next room. With all

_ the advantages to an at-home tan-
ning, the real question isn’t why
should you invest in one, it’s why
shouldn’t you?

Milestones in History:

Jomo Kenyatta

By Put BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY

Kenya was established as a
British protectorate in 1890, a
crown colony in 1920, and from
that time until 1963 Kenya
remained under the control of a
minority group of white settlers.
From 1920 until Kenya indepen-
dence, Jomo Kenyatta fought to
free the majority, the Africans,
from this unequal and unjustified
colonial rule. Kenyatta did more
than just fight for independence,
he untied Kenya’s diversified
African tribes. He freed the
Africans from minority rule,
nationalized Kenya, and unified
Kenya’s diverse peoples through
political groups and influential
writings.

In 1945, Kenyatta met with
such world leaders as W.E.B.
Dubois and Kwame Nkrumah in
the fifth Pan-African Congress,

where discussions and resolu-
tions took place concerning
African independence from colo-
nial rule and nationalization. In
1947, he was elected president of
the newly chartered Kenya
African Union with the intent of
stirring a nationalist movement
in Kenya.

Jomo Kenyatta was a very
influential man in Kenya. He
organized the Kikuyu Central
Association and the Kenya
African Union, he wrote the
Mwigithania and a letter to The
Times. His ideas in the Kikuyu
Central Association were the dri-
ving force in the Mau Mau rebel-
lion. He changed the history of
Kenya by freeing the African
majority from the white-settler
minority rule; he gave the
Africans back their land and cre-
ated a unified Kenya. Jomo
Kenyatta was the father of inde-
pendence in Kenya.

I would like to offer my
apologies to anyone I might have
offended last week. Getting a
|cheap laugh at another's
expense is not funny, and I apol-
ogize for any embarrassment.

Net exploration
that sparked an

addiction

By JAKE GAYTON
Contributing Columnist

I have a confession to make.
I was one of those people who
had not yet hopped onto the
information superhighway.

I hadn’t double clicked my
way to success, and I ignored the
constant barrage of Internet com-
mercials. I guess you could say
that I was the Homer Simpson of
the Internet age. As online com-
panies have made their fortunes,
and then lost their fortunes, I’ve
sat idly by.

I was content to use the tele- -

phone to talk to friends or actual-
ly drive to the mall instead of
logging on to www.gap.com. I
often would wonder if I wanted
to be one of those lost souls star-
ing, slack-jawed, at a computer
monitor waiting for the latest pic-
ture of Britney, in some compro-
mising position, to download.

However, being the year
2001, I decided it was time to log
on.

I went out and bought an
extremely outdated computer and

After a few hours my
roommate was able to pry
my fingers off the keyboard
long enough for me to
change my clothes and
attend a class or two.

began my adventure. Being the
average, red-blooded, American
man, I went where most men go
when they have a sea of informa-
tion at their fingertips: straight to
the porn. After a few hours (okay
days) my roommate was able to
pry my fingers off the keyboard
long enough for me to change my
clothes and attend: a class or two.

I was like a kid in a candy

store. I went from web cams, to

pictures of Jennifer Lopez’s face
superimposed on someone else’s
body. I read all the stupid adver-
tisements that kept popping up,
the whole time thinking that I
was slowly becoming what I
once mocked.

I was my own personal,
although somewhat late, techno-
logical revolution. No longer
would I have to waste my time

. going to the mall when I could
- log on to www.gap.com and shop

for khakis while sitting at my
desk, in my underwear. I hoped
that within a few months I could
become as computer literate as
my best friend’s 12-year-old
brother.

A few years ago I began
hearing about people becoming
addicted to the net and I would
wonder how this could possibly
be. I imagined lonely people who

could only communicate through
a computer screen.

Once I logged on myself, it
only took a few weeks of regular
access to realize how easy it is to
become completely dependent on
computers. According to experts
at the center for online addiction,
the world wide web is expected
to affect the lives of 75 to 80 per-
cent of the U.S. population over
the next several years.

Internet addiction is not just
a problem for the socially chal-
lenged and shy. Psychiatry and
Sociology experts are seeing an
alarming increase in the number
of people who are seeking help
for this under-represented prob-
lem.

I believe one of the main
reasons people are becoming
addicted to the Net, is the fact
that you can go anywhere you
want and be whoever you want to
be. I found it amazing how easy
it was to totally reinvent myself
in cyberspace.

In chat rooms I would berate
all those morons who actually
believed the Giants offense could
stand up to the Raven’s defense.
It didn’t matter what I said or
whom I said it to because nobody
could see me, so I became a
cyberpunk. From the safety of
my own little world I could jump
into a sex chat room and make
fun of all the horny guys waiting
for a woman to type dirty to
them. _

Once the initial thrill of
being able to see so many differ-
ent things began to wear off, I
became somewhat normal again.
I attended classes again and even
started communicating with
friends who did not have an @
symbol in their name. For me, it
was something new to explore.
For many people out there, it is
their way of life.

It is safe to say that the Inter-
net is not going to fade away. It is
not a fad, but instead an extreme-
ly useful means of communica-
tion. I believe, however, that peo-
ple must realize that it is just a
tool. ;
Through the net people can
learn about art. They can see
paintings and sculptures, but it is
not the same as going to a muse-
um. A person can type the word
‘ocean’ into Yahoo’s_ search
engine and get access to thou-
sands of sites where they could
learn about the sea.

Despite all it can show you,
it could never replace the smell
of saltwater and the feeling of the
sun on your skin. We still need to
go outside once in a while and
experience things that computers
cannot provide.

Our memories should not be
comprised of web sites and chat
rooms.

Letters to the Editor

Nice guys don't
always finish last

To the Editor:

In these times of sexual
harassment, violence, and ulteri-
or motives, I am writing to
remind women that CHIVALRY
IS NOT DEAD. I realize that
rape, abuse, and violence toward
women are all problems we face
daily, but let’s not forget about
the good guys. We tend to dwell
on the bad side of the “other
species” and often forget that
there are men out there who are
not only good men, but good
people.

I’ve recently had the experi-
ence of working at the loading
dock in the tunnels here at UAI-
bany. I don’t know how many of
you readers have spent any
amount of time at the loading
dock, but if you have ever been
there you will notice that there
are few, if any, women in the
general vicinity. After a couple
weeks of working with that nag-

ging feeling of “I-am-in-a-dark-
underground-place-with-twenty-
men-that-I-don’t-know,” I finally
meet a man who made me feel at
ease. He took ten minutes out of
his day to help me do my job, and
we immediately became friends.
I learned about his wife, children,
and grandchildren during those
10 minute weekly visits, and
learned to be grateful for, rather
than skeptical of, his helping
hand.

So I am writing to say thank
you, not only for saving me an
hour of your time by donating 10
minutes of your own, but for
reminding me that there are men
out there who still remember the
Golden Rule. It is these random
acts of kindness that keep the
world turning. Thank you for
reminding me.

Socrates
To the Editor:

This letter is in response to
Greg Hevia’s article “In God’s
Country?” in the February 2
ASP. It is a pleasure to engage in
dialogue with someone who
holds an opposing viewpoint and
who can articulate that viewpoint
in a reasoned and respectful
manner. It was not a pleasure,
however, to read Greg’s column.

One of the hallmarks of a
rational mind is the realization
that intelligent people may dis-
agree about important issues. As
Alexander Hamilton said in the
first Federalist Paper, “This cir-
cumstance, if duly attended to,
would furnish a lesson of moder-
ation to those who are ever so
thoroughly persuaded of being in
the right in any controversy.”
Whether the topic is religion or
politics, it is vital for both sides
to maintain civility and an open
mind.

Greg said that he was not
interested in acting like Jesus.
One thing that Jesus taught was
to treat others as you wish to be
treated. I’m sure that Greg
would like to be treated with
respect, but unfortunately he did
not choose to act like Jesus and
extend that same courtesty to his
ideological opponents.

Greg’s vituperation should
serve as a shining example to use
all of the type of attitude to
avoid. If you encounter a person
or group of people with beliefs
different from your own, I would
urge you to remember that hatred
and closed-minded bitterness of
Greg’s essay, and ask yourself
how that kind of childish rancor
would make you look.

14 Friday, February 9, 2001 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS

By MIKE KIERNAN
Sports Editor

Over the course of the next
several weeks, the Albany Student
Press will take a comparative
look at the athletic programs of
the University at Albany and
Siena College. The series will
analyze the 15 common intercoll-
legiate teams at each school.
Records against each other and
against common opponents will
be reviewed, as will the question
of why the two programs have not
yet been able to play a basketball
game against one another in over
20 years (men-25 years; women-

20 years). :

The first portion of the
series, which appears in today’s
issue, deals with the men’s fall
sports for each school. The sec-
ond portion, scheduled for next
week’s issue, focuses on the
women’s fall sports. The third
portion takes a look at the spring
sports, and the final portion of
the series will focus on the winter
season, with particular attention
to the basketball programs at the
two colleges.

The last time Coach Ford and UAlbany played Siena in football was in

1973.

Football

The two schools have not
played a football game against
each other since 1973, the first
varsity season for UAlbany. The
first time the two schools played
each other was 1970. The Great
Danes were a club team and

defeated Siena 25-24. The fol-.

lowing year, Albany was victori-
ous, 31-20. In 1972, the last year
Albany would play as a club, the
Great Danes defeated Siena, 36-
ai.

In 1973, Albany moved to
- the Division III level, and played
Siena midway through the inau-
gural season. The Great Danes,
coming off a 75-9 win the week-
end before over Niagara, crushed

Siena, 71-8. It was the only time
that the two schools competed
against each other at the varsity
level.

“We became a fe good
Division III program,” Albany
head coach Bob Ford said. “They
became a Division I institution,
but with a Division III football
program.”

It does not appear that the
two schools will play in the near
future either. The two schools
both play at the Division I-AA
non-scholarship level. Because
neither school offers scholar-
ships, but rather need-based aid,
Siena athletic director John
D’Argenio believes that UAlbany
holds an additional advantage
because of its student population.

Siena vs. UAIbs

Part One: Men’s Fall Sports

“In football, a sport that has
60 to 70 players, the size of

Albany’s student population
gives them the better chance for
quality walk-on players,”
D’ Argenio said.

A comparison is_ unfair
between the two schools.

UAlbany has had a consistently
better program than Siena since
its first varsity season. This year,
the two teams did not have any
common opponents, but last year,
both teams played one common
opponent, Sacred Heart. The
Great Danes won their contest,
41-0, with the majority of the
starters playing only a little over
a half. Siena fell to the Pioneers,
9-7, the two games showing the
disparity between the programs.

EDGE: UAIbany

Men’s Soccer

The men’s soccer programs

did not compete against each

other in the 1999 or 2000 sea-
sons. In fact, the two have not
played: since the Great Danes
defeated Siena, 2-0 back in 1991.

The 1999 Great Danes had a
record of -6-11-1, while Siena

was 2-2 against the common
opponents they played. The
teams seemed to be an even
match, even without playing
against each other.

Each defeated Niagara, 2-1,
and each lost to Oneonta. The
Great Danes lost 1-0 to Central
Connecticut State, while Siena
defeated them, 1-0. The Saints
were defeated by Manhattan, 2-0,
while Albany beat the Jaspers, 5-
0.

The 2000 season saw the
Great Danes improve to 8-7-3,
while the Saints played about the
same way as they had in 1999
with a 6-11-1 record.

Despite the disparity in over-
all records, each team posted a 1-
2 record against the same oppo-
nents played. Each defeated
Niagara, and each lost to
Vermont and Oneonta.

went 7-11 for the season. Each :

The two teams will get to
settle the debate next season as
they are scheduled to play in the
fall.

EDGE: Even

Men’s Cross Country

Like football, there is no
comparison between the schools
when it comes to the men’s cross
country programs.

The Great Danes had a suc-
cessful 1999 season and despite a
disappointing 2000 campaign,
were still head and shoulders
above the Saints. The teams

raced each other three times in
1999,

At the prestigious Iona Meet
of Champions, Albany placed
11th out of 14 teams, while Siena
finished last, with the last seven
individual places in the meet
being held by Sienarunners.

The IC4A Championships
saw the Great Danes finish eighth
out of 28 teams. Siena once again
finished last in the invitational.
Over the five-mile course, the
Great Danes average time was
more than four minutes faster per
runner than the Saints.

any

UAlbany finished 13th out
of 33 teams at the Northeast
Regional Championships to close
out the season. The Saints once
again placed last. The Great
Danes placed all five runners in
the top 96, while Siena put one
runner in the top 200 (193rd
place), out of 217 runners.

This past season, the teams
met twice. The first meeting saw
the Great Danes finish a disap-
pointing 21st out of 32 teams at
the Northeast Regional
Championships.

However, they easily bested
the Saints, who finished last. At
the IC4A Championships, the
Danes ran without two of their
top five runners, but still man-
aged to finish sixth in the 21-
team field. The Saints placed
19th, with none of their runners
finishing ahead of any of
UAlbany’s for the second straight
week.

Liz Tucker scored 16 points, and added a career high six steals

against Army

By KEVIN GROSSMAN
Staff Writer

The Great Danes women’s
basketball struck out
against two branches of the
Armed Forces this week as they
were defeated by Army and
Navy to extend their losing
streak to four games.

The Danes began their
week by taking on Army on
Saturday night at the RACC in
front of a season-high home
crowd of over 1,500 people.

Despite the raucous crowd,
Army outmuscled the Lady
Danes and took the contest, 63-
56. Army (14-7) relied on a big
game from center Therese
Kelly, who scored 11 of her 17
points in the second half.

The. Black Knights made
six of their first seven shots at
the beginning of the game to
take an early lead. Albany was
able to tie the game at 26, but
Army pushed ahead to take a
three-point halftime lead.

Army continued its hot
streak into the beginning of the
second half and _ outscored
Albany (5-18) on an 11-2 run to
take a 12-point lead.

The crowd encouraged the
Danes on through the second
half, but Albany was never able
to take the lead. Senior Liz
Tucker scored a team-high 16
points in her final Big Purple

team

Growl.
Albany ended their three-
game homestand and traveled

to Navy on Monday night,
where they were defeated by
the Midshipmen, 66-56. Navy
(9-13) avenged an earlier loss
to the Danes at the Stetson
Classic on December 9.

The Lady Danes battled
with Navy throughout the first
half, and Navy took a 35-29
lead at halftime. However, the
Lady Danes gave up an early
second half run for the second
straight game and Navy took a
12-point lead.

Albany rallied to bring the
score to within five points, but
Navy held on for the 10-point
lead. Liz Tucker continued her
recent strong play with 16
points, nine rebounds, and five
assists to lead both teams in
scoring.

Sophomore guard Chris

Gray contributed with 10 points.

in the losing effort. The Lady
Danes played on Thursday
night at the RACC against
Binghamton, but the game was
not concluded before the paper
went to press.

Albany will begin their
final road trip of the season on

Saturday as the Danes take on >

Daemen at 5:30.

The Danes finished the 99-
00 season strong by winning
seven of their last eight con-
tests, and Albany will be look-
ing to partially achieve some of
that late season success over the
weekend.

Albany-Siena
duel on horizon

The women’s team may open an Albany-Siena double-header next season

By MIKE KIERNAN
Sports Editor

The UAlbany Great Danes
and Siena Saints are close to an
agreement that would see the two
schools square off on the basket-
ball court next season.

- UAlbany athletic director,
Lee McElroy, and Siena athletic
director, John D’Argenio, have
had ongoing talks throughout the
year about the possibility of the
two schools taking part in such
an event.

The popular idea for such an
event would see the two women’s
basketball teams play the first
game of a women’s-men’s dou-
bleheader at the Pepsi Arena at
the beginning of next season.

“If this is going to happen,
we want it to be an event that tips
off college basketball in the capi-
tal region,” McElroy said. “We
don’t want it to be a Siena event
or an Albany event. We want it to
be a capital region event, promot-
ing college basketball.”

The idea of UAlbany and
Siena playing each other has
become a real hot topic in the
capital region since UAlbany’s
move to Division I last year. The
two programs have not played a
men’s basketball game since
1977, Siena’s first season at the
Division I level. ;

The Great Danes won that
last contest, 62-49. The women’s
teams have not played each other
since 1981, a 99-45 Siena victo-
ry.

“This is something we’ve
been talking about,” D’Argenio
said. “But nothing has been defi-
nitely established.”

Next year could pose a prob-
lem with scheduling a game,

especially since the Great Danes
just joined the America East Con-
ference. UAlbany will now have
16 conference games in their
schedule, along with games they
still owe teams, games that they
have already agreed to. However,
they are in the process of trying
to reschedule some of those
games, possibly even pushing
them back a year or two to allow
this to happen.

McElroy said that it is diffi-
cult to get in touch with people
for scheduling purposes at this
point in the season and expects
more progress to be made next

month. UAlbany -men’s head
coach Scott Beeten ‘agrees, say-
ing that. a lot of preliminary
schedule ideas are done before
the season, but that they take a
back seat during the season, and
really begin to heat up again
come March.

“We'd like to see something
happen sooner than later,” D’ Ar-
genio said. “I don’t see anything
as major stumbling blocks.”

Siena already plays its home
games at the Pepsi Arena, but
McElroy foresees each school
having its own student section,
one behind each basket. He also
believes that despite Siena hav-
ing season-ticket holders, that
there will be plenty of good seats
still available for alumni and
fans.

For the past two seasons, the
Saints have averaged over 6,000
fans for home games at the
Pepsi, which seats about 16,000
people.

Despite the possible sched-
uling difficulties, which would
only be for this year, McElroy
remains confident that this will
happen.

“Before we can. sign our
names to an agreement, we have
to make sure that our schedules
are Clear, that we agree how the
game should be promoted, and
that we look at a multi-year kind
of arrangement,” McElroy said.
“We’re not interested in going
out and just doing this for one
year.”

At least a four-year commit-
ment is what McElroy is hoping
for at this point, and D’Argenio
agrees that playing for just one
year is nota good idea. The two
agree on another thing as well.

McElroy said, “Both sides
agree that it is time to play.”

Danes experienc

By KEVIN GROSSMAN
Staff Writer

The Great Danes men’s bas-
ketball team. experienced the best
of times and the worst of times in
a wild week of basketball.

Albany (5-18) started the .

week with their most dramatic
win of the season on Saturday
night as the Danes defeated Army
on a last second buzzer beater,
88-86. Army (6-14) took the
early lead over Albany by shoot-
ing 59 percent from the field in
the first half, and the Black
Knights took an 11-point lead
into. halftime. Junior Chris
Spatola scored 25 of his 33 points
in the first half, and Albany was
not able to stop Army’s explosive
three-point shooters. .

The Cadets appeared to be
coasting to an easy win over the
Danes by taking a 12-point lead
in the second half, but the Big
Purple Growl crowd of over
3,000 people lifted the Danes to
within nine with three minutes
remaining in the contest. Will
Brand, who scored 18 points in
the win, tied the game at 69 to
end regulation.

The two teams ‘rallied back
and forth during the first over-
time, but neither squad was able
to pull away from the other. The
Danes took the lead into the final
minute of the first overtime, but
Charles Woodruff scored to bring
the two teams to double overtime.
Army took an 86-85 lead in dou-
ble overtime as Woodruff made
one of two free throws, but
Antoine Johnson raced down the
court with 5.4 seconds remaining
and scored the final three of his
15 points as time expired.
Students stormed the court as the
crowd went ballistic, and Albany
experienced one of the greater
wins in the school’s young
Division I history. Freshman sen-
sation E.J. Gallup scored a team
high 31 points, including a school

record nine three-pointers.

Almost all memories of
Saturday’s win were erased as the
Danes were edged by rival Stony
Brook, 63-62 on Wednesday
evening on Long Island. The
Danes took a one-point lead over
the Seawolves (15-9) late in the
second half, but Stony Brook
used a 9-0 run to help ensure their
first winning season since 1992-
93;

Forward Joe Vukovic gave
the Danes a six-point lead with
five minutes to go in the contest,
but the Seawolves tenacious
defense held the Danes scoreless
for three minutes to take a three
point lead of their own. Stony
Brook’s Jarius McCollum was
fouled with about a minute to
play, and he was able to give the
Seawolves a two-point lead.

Gallup: and Sam Hopes missed
respective jumpers on the offen-
sive end, and Stony Brook was
able to capitalize on free throws
to take a five-point lead.

Johnson delivered a long
range three-point shot with just
2.8 seconds to play, but Stony
Brook had already sealed the vic-
tory. Leon Brisport continued his
outstanding play against the
Danes, scoring 18 points and
grabbing eight rebounds. Alex
Barnhill played his finest game as
a Dane with 16 points and 10
rebounds, but Albany dropped
their fourth straight game on the
road.

The Danes will finish up the
season with five games at home,
the next of which is on Saturday
against Colgate.

The men’s: and women’s
track team competed in two
meets this past weekend. The first
was the 94th annual Millrose

Games at Madison Square
Garden in New York City. The
second was. the Colgate
Invitational held at Colgate

University.

On Friday at the Garden, the
4x800-meter relay team of Jamie
Rodriguez, Adam Rice, Ike
Cherry, and Noel Campbell fin-
ished third among nine teams
with a time of 8:01.99. The
4x400-meter relay of John
Morris, Joe Senchyshyn, Ed
Fotiades, and Aggrey Morris took
second in their heat in 3:29.22,
losing only to Colgate.

In the women’s 4x400-meter
relay, UAlbany was third with a
time of 3:59.75. Tammy Freeman
ran the leadoff leg and was joined
by Oneika Randall, Dinnah
Decatus, and Jessica Burger on
the team.

Freshman Jessica Walton
won the women’s 1000-meter run
and Naron Stewart qualified for
the IC4A championships in the
high jump to highlight UAlbany’s
performances at Colgate
University’s Class of ‘32
Invitational on Saturday.

Walton went 3:02.75 in the
1000-meter winning by nearly
three seconds over Bucknell’s
Becky Marshall. Albany’s 4x400-
meter relay also posted a first-
place finish with a time of
4:04.00.

Seidah Abu-Bakir was sec-

ond in the 55-high hurdles and
third in the high jump. Andrea
Sweet and Nierria Jones earned a
pair of third-place finishes in the
long jump and
respectively.
Others contributing in the
scoring were senior Seidah Abu-
Bakir and Raphaelle Jean, finish-

triple jump,

ing second and third, respectively
in the 55-meter hurdles. Freeman
and Randall finished fourth and
fifth in the 500-meter dash and
Diane Matthews and Zerlinda
Martinez placed fourth and sixth
in the 800-meter run, respective-
ly.

Stewart, a freshman from
Jamaica, placed second in the
men’s high jump with an IC4A-
qualifying mark of 6-feet, 9-inch-
es.

Charles Young won the 55-
meter hurdles with a time of 7.82
seconds, and was only three-hun-
dredths of a second off the meet
record. Freshmen Dane Winget
and Dustin Wilson finished
behind him in third and sixth
places.

Marcus Thompson finished
second in the 55-meter dash
(6.53), while the 4x400 and
4x800-meter relays were also in
