Albany nuclear
crisis plan

is ridiculed at
public hearing

By Bob Gardinier
STAVE WAITER

Irate Albany residents expressed
whelming rejection of a nuclear crisis reloca-
tion plan for Albany County Wednesday
night during a public hearing on the plan at
the Albany County Library.

Over 200 people of all ages crowded the
library's first floor conference room for three
hours, listening to a broad range of speakers
including lawyers, doctors, public officials
and citizens criticize the plan,

“My office had received many phone calls
and letters requesting a public hearing on this
matter," said Albany County Executive
James Coyne, who coordinated the hearing,

Shouts of “who you trying to kid," “oh,
sure" and hisses and boos greeted director of
the State Office of Disaster Preparedness
Donald DeVito, City Director of Civil
Defense James O'Connor and Civil Defense
Director for Warren County John Marzola,

Missing ASP’s could be tied to endorsements

By Anthony Silber

SSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

This year’s student association elections
Were marred by rumors, accusations, and bit-
terness, according to people involved in
Various campaigns.

In the center of the
to most people intery
ment issue of the ASP.

SP endorsement decisions were not well-
taken in several campaign camps, and
charges that the campaign of vice presidential
candidate Robert Fishkin appropriated and
concealed large numbers of the endorsement
issue abounded within groups Involved,

While most of the rumors are unsubstan

lated, some facts have been established and
confirmed by several different sources.

According to Thomas Allen of Alumni
Quad, an “extremely close worker’ for
Fishkin's campaign approached him on the
Monday night before the endorsement issue
came out and told him to gather up ASPs if
the endorsement was unfavorable,

She said to me, ‘If Rob doesn't get it,
take a lot of ASPs 0 others can’t read it (the
ndorsement)’. She was not joking,” said
Allen, who identified the worker as Michelle
Legendre, adding "it was very seriously
said,

Legendre denied saying anything to Allen,
and asked, “Why would someone say that?
Why would 1 steal any ASPs? I did not even
hotice any missing.”

One Schaffer campaign worker, who asked
not to be identified, said that late Tuesday
she was in the campus center and observed
Fishkin and a senior campaign worker meet
in the contact office lobby. According 10 the
Schaffer worker, she overheard Fishkin's
aide say, “It’s illegal and we'll get caught
Everyone is going to find out." At that

The station's management switched its

The switch, described by WEDB Program

Singer also noted that the Third World

The decision to cut jaze programming, a
cording to Trelin, was not a rash one, Discus-
sions were held on the subject last semeste
he explained, and the jazz department, as
well as third world department members,
made certain promises to improve programs
and production, According to the WCDB
management memo that announced the pro-
gram changes, these promises were kept by
the third world department, but not by the
jazz DJs:

to cut hours, but still was not happy with the

was handled in a bad way," he said, noting

Conflict arises over programming change.

Schneider campaigns contend that several
stacks of ASPs disappeared from State Quad
during dinner Tuesday night, One Schneider
Worker, Barbara Hurwitz, said that on her
way do the cafeteria, she saw plenty of ASPs
“When I got there,” said Hurwitz, “Fishkin
Was there with some of his workers. He left,

id when I left, 1 noticed the ASPs were
gone,"

that he was not spoken to, but had to'read of
the decision after the memo was posted.
“There are only five weeks left and they take
our shows away. After three years, is that any
Way to treat us?””

Rader maintained he knew of five possible
DJs for next year and said he didn't think the
turnover reason for cutting jazz ‘necessarily
holds water."”

Trelin said he was only sure of two jazz
Dis for next year, He added that five would
still not be enough to maintain the old
schedule because of the lack of experience
among them,

The WCDB memo, explains that jace DJs
“missed both mandatory music and) pro-
gramming meetings!” which they promised to
attend, Rader said he was puzeled by this
charge since most mandatory mectings rarely
even discussed jazz because it was such a
sinall_ percentage of the station's total pro-

shkin hotly disputed the accusations that
his campaign stole the ASPs."*Neither myself
nor anyone involved in my campaign had
anything {0 do with this,"* he insisted. "The
charges are absolutely false — there is no
truth to them," he added.

Fishkin said he felt the endorsement wasn't
so bad and asked why he would conceal
papers that had two of his ads in them,

According to SA President elect Rich
Schaffer, Fishkin did have a motive for steal-
ing the papers. “1 know he was mighty pissed
off when he didn't get the endorsement,"
Schaffer said.

SA Vice President elect Jeff Schneider cau-
tioned against unwarranted accusations,
“My people did find several hundred ASPs
which were thrown away,'" he sald, but 1
think Fishkin is (oo smart to throw away
ASPs, don't think Fishkin would do that,"”
hie added, “but maybe people working for
him would,"

Schaffer agreed, saying, “Fishkin may not
have known what was going on, but ! would
say it way the people on his staff.!?

Schneider, Schaffer, and various eampalgn

The recent change in the drinking age has
sent Albany freshmen scrambling to find
Ways of changing the birthdates on their ID
cards,

In the past ten days over 25 freshmen have
had their SUNYA ID cards confiscated at the
Rathskeller, according to Student Activities
Director Jim Doellefeld,

The confiscated 1D cards were described
by Doellefeld as being ‘basically a bad job.”
Some ID's were relaminated with a new label
Underneath and others had put the label right
‘over the lamination

Under a recent Federal law, “The False
TWentification Criminal Control Act,"
anyone who alters or tampers with student
ID's “shall suffer a fine of $25,000 or {i
Prisonment for five years, or both.”
Doellefeld added that “it would be unlikely
that the university would press charges,"”

Rathskeller Food Service Director Lester
Hynes attributed the recent crackdown on
filtered SUNY ID's to the raising of the state
drinking age this past December, "We first
noticed altered 1D's in February, but we've
been cracking down since vacation. If we lose

Rich Macchi, who checks ID's at the R.
described how tampered 1D's are detected
Suspicious looking 1D's are held up to the
light and scrutinized for irregularities, such
as wrinkles or superimposed labels

After being denied permission to drink at
the Rat, the students were told to get tem
porary ID's from Doellefeld,

Geiting a new ID fs not the only problem
the students now face, According to
Doellefeld, the student is then referred to the
University Judicial Board, which handles any
matters that are not quad related.

‘‘Hogan’s Heroes”’ star Clary recalls Nazi terror

udp ta

The horror of the Holocaust still haunts Robert Clary
Re d for his role as Corporal Louis LaBeau on the
television’ serfes Hogan's Heroes, Clary is a volunteer
speaker for the Simon Wiesenthal Center

In his speech Thursday night in LC 23, which was spon:
sored by JSC-Hillel, Clary recalled how he and his parents
Were sent 10 a concentration camp in Cossaic, Germany
However, his sister hid in a bathroom with her mother’s
direction, enabling her to estape deportation. He sid his
motlier urged him to join her, but he refused.

"TP never wanted {0 talk about My experiences. ©

“1 worshiped my mother, and { could not bear the

thought of being separated from her, She begued me to go,
but 1 would not,’’ Clary sald, He is the only survivor of the
13. members of his immediate family who were deported, he
noted,
“We were shoved into buses, From that day, September 23,
1942,"" he continued, “until the day {was liberated, April
11, 1945, I never knew 1. | way shoved and
pushed and Kicked and serea

First the group was taken to the police station, Clary
sald, where they were detained until morning, tn the morn
ing, he sald, they were “shoved onto buses again," and
taken to the (rain station, One hundred people were ¢
mad into each cattle car with straw on the floor, described
Clary

“The Naris were very very clever with what they were do:
ing. They never told what was going to happen 10 you,
because, believe me, if'we knew we were going to be led like
cattle {0 the slaughterhouse like we were, we would have
done something about it," he claimed. “We would haye
killed them, we would have killed ourselves, We would not
have let ourselves be led like catile 10 thie slaughterhouse,"
he repeated.

The first stop was the German town of Cossair near
Auschwitz, according to Clary, He sald it was there where
Dr, Mengele, a Nazi experimenter, who Clary called "The
Angel of Death,'” separated him from his family, While
Mengele parted’ his family, Clary recalled that he was
“Jucky to have been spared.”” He was small for his age, he
said, bul someone told an SS officer that he was 16 and old
enough to work in the slave labor camps,

Clary spent the next 19 months at the labor camp work-
ing in a factory, The prisoners, he said, were fed "black hot
water that they called coffee, and luke warm water which
they called soup, with a turnipslike vegetable in it. For sup-
per they received a slice of bread with some margarine, he
temembered,

"1 would sneak at night into the pig sty to steal old
potatoes and rotten rutabagos that the pigs did not want, If
the guards had seen me they would have shot me," Clary
said.

After the labor camp, Clary Was transferred to a concen:
tration camp,

Suddenly you were not what you were, You were not a
Human being, You were cattle and branded cattle at that,"
he said. “We became subhuman, because all we could
think about was food,’

he explained, were initiated, Prisoners were lead out of the

camps on foot, he sald

"We marched 15 days and 15 nights, Twice d day We got
‘i slice of bread,” he said.

Clary and two friends walked at the head of the line, to
keep their morale up, he explained, "For two Weeks all we
heard was gun shots. {f you sat down without permission
you were shot.”

The uncredible election

pus. The SA elections were not merely a farce, but a
step backwards for the respectibility of the student
representation at this university.

The embittered campaign sent out the message that some
candidates were more concerned with the ends rather than
means. It's ironic that individuals who run platforms based
on professionlism can display only forms of immaturity.

Deceitful practices ran rampant during the campaign
First, presidential candidate Joe Ranni was charged with
posting illegal posters in illegal places. The SA Supreme
Court ruling ordered him to take down the illegal posters
and deliver them with the master copy 10 the SA office
Rani admitted his guilt for the most part, and made every
effort to remove the posters. Although his labors did not
justify his original actions, Ranni did respond appropriate
ly to the ruling. Yet Supreme Court Chief Justice Steve Per-
rin still removed Ranni from the ballot, seemingly
unresponsive to the retributive actions. Not only was the
candidate's behavior questionable, but the court's handling
of the affair could have been more judicious

Then there is the case of the stolen ASPs, Students in
Solved in the election campaign stole hundreds of copies of
the ASP and through them in the trash cans or chucked
them into the bathrooms. It's evident that this was an at-

A disgraceful exhibition has taken place on this cam-

These are your fellow students trying to pull the wool

Those who stole the ASP were infringing on your in-
alienable rights. An election is supposed to be democratic

It's revolting to think that fellow students are trying to
determine what is best for you. In essence the shenanigany
were appalling and malicious.

Is Zionism racism?

Zionism and its radical discrimination against Palesti
nian Arabs" in Palestine need to be examined, The defini-
tion of racial discrimination as “any distinction, exclusion,
restriction, or preference based on race, color, descent, or
religion’ is the criterion against which we may’ask whether
Zionism is racism, To answer this question, we need to
know two things: (1) what Zionism is, and (2) how it is
practiced

Those Palestinians who remained in Palestine were
harassed and excluded, then expelled and repressed by the
Zionist establishment, After Israel announced its
statehood, the state expropriated Arab owned land to hold
it in trust for the "Jewish People’ to put Jewish settlers on
it, and to lease it to Jews only. The much admired Kibbut-
zism to which Arabs have never been admitted meant, in
practice, the exclusion of both Muslims and Christians
from any participation in the political, social, economic, or
cultural life of the Jewish settlement, Many are the ex

“Happiness: A beach, a pine
comb”, . poetry of French film-
maker Agnes Varda. These words
murmur an inexplicable and pro-
found message, and yet they are so
simple. We search for happiness
around us constantly, and yet, it is
where we do not seek. We try to
make ourselves beautiful, and
though the outside may look nice,
the inside is ignored. What is hap-
piness? What is beauty?

I met with Agnes Varda on
Wednesday to speak with her about
this issue. | had seen some of her
films recently and before our
meeting | could not imagine what
this woman would be like. Her in-
tense screen Images and powerful
stories gaye me some sense of her

The film starts with a
misleading the audience Into believing
Js another movie before the seal thing
which of course it's not. But first some
background, The crazy crew known as
Monty Python consists of five Brits (alll
incredibly overeducated) and one
American (who went to school in Utah)
The American, Terry Gilliam {s responsible
for the wonderful special effects (such as
leaves thot cry as they fall from a tree
spliting heads with people in them, storks
that drop real babies down chimneys - just
to name a few)

But to the film Itself. Palin feels that the
meaning of Ife iself isa very strong
philosophical concept, Why are we he
‘What are we doing? Why are you wearing
that ostrich costume? So we are given a
series Of sketches addressing this kind of
Issue,

Catholics are taken to task as we see a
father, a mother and approximately 100:
children in. the depths of poverty. The
father who has just lost his job must sell his
children for selentiic experiments. When
asked why he had so many of them, the
father replies in song that “Every sperm is
sacred,” the Protestant rebuitle, delivered
by Graham Chapman, being that to be
Protestant means being able to go to the
local drugstore and buy a condom. This
frollesome scene leads fo a major musical
number with Bishops and Nannies dancing
‘on baby carriages and other such ir
reverence

The film then takes us into a modern
hospital to an actual birth, Technology is
clearly the star and when the mother in
nocently asks it |t is a boy or girl she Is told
_|/that i's to early to start imposing sex roles,
isn't Kt? Following In the developmental
phases of life, we are treated to a sex
education lesson In classic British public
school fashion. This includes a live
demonstration by the professor and his
wife which is interrupted only by occasional
scoldings of boys not paying attention.

Intermittently throughout the film we are
treated to the lively conversation of fish in a
tank (they do have human heads however,
strangely resembling the faces of the
Python pack), They provide amazingly in:
teresting commentary on the movie itself,
sort of a progress report as we watch along

The complexities of life are tackeled in
such scenes as a young touring couple
who, upon entering a restaurant
(decorated to recreate an actual medieval
dungeon complete with torture victims),
are offered a choice of conversations by the
‘waiter, They choose philosophy, leading to
a very funny scene about Schoupenhauer
and Nietache (did I say funny? well as fun
ny as that sort of thing can be)

The question of transplants is also a ma-
Jor focus of the film. Medics are dispatched
when a liver is needed and a live donor
must be convinced to give his up, Here my
stomach rather revolted at the excessive
blood splattering as the live donor was
relleved of his organs. Eric Idle, in one of
the funniest scenes in the movie, takes the
donors wife on a tour of the universe show:
ing her how small she is in comparison (he
sings the “Galaxy Song” which he wrote
with a kind of Fred Astaire finess) convinc
ing the woman that she too should give up
her organs.

Eric is again at the keyboard in a
wonderful sort of “Play It Again Sam"
scene in which he performs his recently
composed “Penis Song”, The Meaning of
Life is further investigated In a parady of
Bergman's film The Seventh Seal where a
small farmers cottage (inhabited by some

The movie falls to unacceptable lows in a
scene where a grotesquely overweight man
comes Into a restaurant, asks for bucket
‘and procedes to vomit on everybody and
everything. He then consumes all foods
listed on the menu and with the addition of
‘an afterdinner mint literaly explodes. This
scene is not for the squemish of stomach,
and frankly had very little redeeming
humor. Be sure you're not eating your
popcorn during this one.

There are also various Zulu and World

slass British officer and his attention to ett

pornography ever made. This

personal realization of the point were this

Canadian stripper who has a wonderful act
were she comes out as Little Red Riding
Hood and strips while joking with her aus

you will, of the pornographic industry,
Tracey and the director (also a woman)
find that although there is a point for each
of us where pornography becomes unac-
ceptable, the truth is that it is unacceptable
at any level

Megan Gray Taylor

These women go to the film and live
show places on 42nd Street and the strip in
San Francisco. They go to the studios
where Playboy, Penthouse and others are
shot to try and get at the heart of the por-
ography boom (and yes we are in a
boom). What we get.is an emotional, com-
plex and developmental realization
through the eyes of Tracey that as long as
women participate on any level, the market

A Love/Hate Story

Interspersed with tne actual look inside
hard-core pornography, are interviews
with various men and women, ranging
from a male porno star who left the
business because his on-screen perfor-
mance was leading to false expectations
and excessive demands by the real women
in his life, to outspoken feminists like Kate
Millet and Margaret Atwood. Atwood’s
poem about pomography |s enough to
make anyone reevaluate their attitude
towards this difficult subject

Much of the controversey over this film
(locally at least) occured after Dan
Dinicola, in his review on WRGB, called
this a mixture of feminist propaganda and a
peep-show. I found this an incomprehensi-
ble dichotomy and went to see the film as
soon as possible. Perhaps the best feature
of the film is what Dinicola saw as a peep:
show. This film provides a hard-core look
into the live sex shows and violent films
that have traditionally been male domain. |
think this Is an Important film for women,
especially, to see, because of this rare view |
behind the scenes. As one of the!
spokespeople says, "Women can not re-
main silent or oblivious, safe in their
homes, or the violence will continue."

Was getting up when these people were getting home
from work, not going to it. I did spend two years getting
up at 8:30 every morning and going to work in a fac-
toty, The morning tush hour brought back a bit of
nostalgia for those days. It didn't last long

I'came across a place called Carey's Diner (had our
former governor gone into the food business?) which
used to be part of an ill-fated fast food hamburger chain
Anyway Carey, or Hugh if you prefer, had a breakfast
special of eggs, toast and coffee for the low price of only
‘80 cents, { dug into my pocket and found two quarters,
a couple dimes, a nickle and three pennies, | wondered
what ol! Hugh'd think about extending me two cents
credit. Probably not too much in light of the fact that I'd
never been in the place before. It was one of those times
when it would have been nice to be a regular. But then
‘again, was it really worth being a regular in a place like
that so that I could get two cents credit?

Anyway, about half a block later a dayglow yellow

There were four or five men in the place. I had trou:

people allow them 10 deteriorate shows where their

The same goes for sinks, bathtubs, and showers

I believe there is a couple of possible reasons for this.

reconciling pride in one's religious and

Between 1882 and 1903, 1,300,000
Yiddish-speaking Jews left the ghettoes
and shtetls of Eastern Europe for the ghet:
joes and shtetls of the New World, For
most the ghetto part was easy, as they sall
ed from Ellis Island to the crowded
tenements of the Bowery and the Lower
Enst Side, Recreating the familiar,
hometown feeling of the shteil, or village,
was another story, To compensate for this
oss of a traditional lifestyle there arose
what Cohen calls the “vibrant but not
awesome Yiddish theater.” Heavy on sac
charine melodramas, eclectic musicals amd
macaronic comedies,” the Yiddish theater
also became an outlet for a great variety of
social concerns and served as a catalyst for
community involvement. In an allen land jt
gave the Immigrant Jews something to call
their own.

But based as it was on the language of an
old world, the Yiddish theater was doomed:
to be at best a transitional theater. It
flourished during the twentles and early
thirties, but had to yield to an audience

dewishness, Cohen blames not only the
National Origins Act and an upsurge of
anti-Semitism for the de-Semitization at the
beginnings of true Jewish-American
drama, but the assimilated Eastern-
European Jews of the twenties as well,
who had no desire for playwrighis to depict
them as any different from other
‘Americans. And fearful of offending au-
diences with dramas either “evoking pre
Jjudice or battling it," Broadway backed

who declared, "I have never paraded my

Oo

Sarah Cohen sees manifestations of
Rice’s philosphy, to varying extents, in
playwrighting of the next 40, and even 50
years. While she excuses the socially.
conscious, “Jewish bourgeois” playwright
Clifford Odets from what she calls this
“ethnic blandness" (praising, among other
things, the rich language he created from
Old World and New World colloquialisms),
she sees its rise again in the a-Semitic
dramas of the thirties andl most of the for-
tes, In some ways, the de-Semitization was
fa shocked response to the rise of Hitler; in
others it was a backlash among Jewish in-
fellectuals against a Jewish community

fand Jolson played a cantor’s son singing

they saw as having grown complacent and

self-seeking. Whatever the reasons,
playwrights like Arthur Miller “sensed that
the climate was unfavorable for
homegrown ethnic drama,” and created,
as in Miller's Death of a Salesman,
recognizably Jewish characters shorn of
Jewish references. Few, however, sup:
pressed their dewishness to the degree
Lillian Hellman did: even her two World
War Two plays, Watch on the Rhine and
The Searching Wind, contain no direct
reference to Jews or thelr persecution

Tracing this trend to the present day,
Cohen finds a writer like Nell Simon, who
even through the “philo-Semitic" sixties
Was turing out Jewish-"style” plays in
which “there js no attempt to grapple with
‘any Jewish Issue that does not provide im-
mediate comic relief.”

[a}

If there are villains in the history of the
Jewish-American stage and screen, then
Cohen finds them in the hills and backlots
of Hollywood, The 1930s marked the
height of Jewish control of the movies, and
‘near total absence of Jewish subject mat.
ter on the screen. Adolph Zukor, William
Fox, Lous Mayer and Samuel Goldwyn,
and the Warner brothers all headed
studios, And yet their pictures, writes
Cohen, “reflected the America of their
heart's desire — a place where people
have the same non-distinctive names,
speak the same unaccented language, and
share the same undivided national
loyalties," Ethnically particularized Broad-
way plays became WASP vehicles in
Hollywood, Actors were encouraged to
change thelr names to sound less Semitic
‘And as on the stage, the War was treated in
Paitiotic terms and with a careful avoidance
of the "Jewish question,"

The decade following the unquestioned
tule of the Hollywood moguls was litle bet-
fer, but even. the threats of the McCarthy
era, in which a number of Jewish artists
Were suspected of affiliations with com-
munists, submitted to what Cohen calls "a

fever of ethnicity infecting the country.”
The witch-hunis of the fifties gave way to
pride in the emergence of Israel, causing
second: and third-generation screenwriters
to create films championing the Jews of
both ancient and modem Israel. On Broad
way, audiences were flocking to The World
of Sholom Aleichem and Fiddler on the
Roof ("You don't have to be Jewish,” the
ads proclalmed), Even the Holocaust
began to be treated, as in stage and movie
treatments of The Diary of Ann Frank and
The Wall, Yet these efforts often fell short
‘and when not relying on grand historical
misconceptions, falled fo capture the hor-
tor of the camps or thelr Implications
"Such a dark truth Broadway and
Hollywood were unwilling to convey,”
writes Cohen.

True redemption for the Jewish film and
stage, artistically and at the box office
came In the sixties and seventies, when
young filmmakers drew on thelr family ex:
periences while feeling no need to conceal
their Jewishness. The particular brand of
neurotic Jewish humor that had thrived in
night clubs and on recordings transferred
successfully to the screen thanks to Woody
Allen. Barbra Streisand proved the
marketability of a Jew who (puns Cohen)
‘obeys the commandment “of not changing
your noses or your Moses,” And Mel
Brooks became big box office by not fnere-

Semitizing his films, but by over
Semitizing them, Writes Cohen, "The film
Image of the Jew. . .has become a highly
soleable product readily purchased by both
Gentile and Jewish consumers of mass

The particulars of Sarah Cohen's
biography seem to indicate that she was
destined to do nothing different than what
she does right now: that is, reading,
disseminating, and teaching Jewish:
American culture, Stan with her immigrant
background, which gives her first-hand
knowledge of what is essentially the foun
dation of the Jewish-American experience,
at least until recently. Her upbringing was
‘essentially bilingual. Nex! take the conflicts
which might arise when the members of
your family are the only Jews in town.
Cohen remembers both singing with old
Jewish men at a neighboring synagogue,
and being forbidden by her father to sing
church hymns in the school choir (until she
promised only to hum the offending
Words)

‘Add to this mixture an early infatuation
with the stage, and a short happy history
|, playing character roles in high school, col:

Jege, and summer stock, Finally, bring into
play a love of scholarship, and an
academic road which would include the
University of tlinols, UC Berkely, and a)
PhD, from Northwestern University

The only thing missing form the formula
Is the urban experience, an understanding
of which Is essential to the study of Jewish
American culture, which, after all, is an ur-
ban phenomenon. Cohen views her
teaching experience at SUNYA (where
she’s been since 1972, and where she'll
become a full professor In the fall) as a way
of filing that gap. “I stil feel like a tourist,”
she says of New York. "I find my students
have the inside information when it comes
to the city.”
| Nonetheless, she finds that experience
|may be exhausted as a source of raw
| material for theater and literature, Of more
recent Jewish-American stagecraft she
‘unites, “Yet beneath this product's appeal-
ing Semitic surface, it lacks cultural and
religious density." What, if anything, wil il:
this vacuum?

Cohen sees hope in the aternative
theater groups and filmmakers who are
importing authentic Jewish content,”
‘These include the Jewish Opera Series at
New York's 92nd St. Y, Stanley
Brechner's American Jewish Theater at the
Y, and Ran Avni’s Jewish Repertory
Theater. They have tapped ancient Biblical
‘and modern Israeli sources for words and
music, and, she writes, “have caused the
phoenix of Jewish creativity to rise again,”
She also sees hope in that her field, once
deemed “too parochial” by academic ad-
visors, Is being given more regard than ever
before,

“There {s a loss of the complexity that
was the immigrant experience,” says

Cohen: “That saddens me, but | like to be
Surprised.”

ASPECTS: Whot do you think of the state of
hon-commercial films today, the films that fle in
the middle, between commercial entertainment
and strict documentary?
VARDA: Well in Europe and in the States i s
very diferent, Here, you realy have the system.
You know, big films. Like Tootsie — a good
film, well made, well acted, a good theme — but
this is @ system film, And here you have the
underground films, the documentaries, which
| are for away, There Is not so much middle. in
France we have a lot of middle: I'm really in the
middle, Like One Sings, the Other Doesn't, this
was not a system film, It was totaly free, very
cheap. It could not exist in the system, yet itis
not an underground film. ft got a normal
Gistrbution, and went out in normal movie
theaters. So there Is that category of films, which
exists much more in Europe than here. They are
made with less money, and don't need as large
‘an audience. There are some here, like My Din
rer With Andre, Eating Raoul, | could find tke
three or four of these — they are very rare, This
is very different, We have a lol of middle
category films, in which the energy is big the
money is small, but they are normally distributed
and make a certain amount of money.
ASPECTS: And what ore your views towards

‘Andy Warhol and his cinema?

VARDA} You coll that radical here. He is a very
‘gifted artist, Because radical here means just to
make a statement and go, He's going much {ur
ther than Andy Warhol In his way of being di

ASPECTS) Could you explain your relation

Women's movement?

this, The women's movement became very Im

{ilm | struggled against the social institution
of the family, On the set we tried to
rediscover, among ourselves, the spirit of
the family...” Although Varda’s methods
appear different, the resulis are fresh and
effective

‘Appropriately, Miss Varda's two latest
releases. Mur Murs, 1980, and
Documenteur, 1981, remain true to her

tradition of dealing with personal topics in 9
unique fashion. In Mur Murs, (Wall Walls)
Varda {8 once again in the street, her
favorite envionment, filming the many
murals throughout Los Angeles. Varda
empathizes with the creators of the murals
whose art is neglected by the American
value system. In America, if a painting,
mural, or any other art form lacks
economic value it's categorized as culturally
‘useless. Varda disagrees and therelore
makes her {il about these unrecognized
artists, hoping to give them exposure and
perhaps credibility

Varda’s criteria for judging the cultural
value of art Is vastly different than the view
held by most Americans Varda’s definition
of culture 's anything that “expresses a
need" And indeed, that is the one
cnierion all the murals in the film fulfil
Some murals are indicative of talent, others
are tot, However, they all express a need

Expression

——

for something that was previously
lacking. The specific needs vary tremen-
dously, One artist painted a mural of an
enormous forest smack in the middle of a
busy L.A. intersection. The artist sensed a
lack of beauty there and her mural adds to
the urban area, Many of the gangs in the
L,A, convey their groups’ identity by sproy
painting the gang emblem on the walls of
the city, One member of a Mexican gang
painted 6 poignant mural symbolizing his
mental rage upon learning of his brother's
death at the hands of an enemy gang. Still
ther artist from Hollywood who felt
need for God, painted a gigantic mural
depicting The Lone Ranger as his ideal im-

age of what God whould look like

By creating Mur Murs, Verda has at-
tempted to give credibility to her fellow ar-
lists. Furthermore, Americans who see this
film might begin to redefine what art is and
should be to them.

In Documenteur, Varda comes out from
behind the camera, so to speak, This film Is
not about Varda per se, as much as a fic:
tional account of emotions while filming
Mur Murs. Documenteur is the story of a
ilm editor in L.A. whose husband has left
jer, Varda uses innovative stylistic ap
proaches to allow the viewer's entrance in
to the wife's sorrow. The style is scarce;
Varda uses one image, one narration at a

time so the viewer can see exactly what the
wife Is seeing and hear exacily what she Is
saying. The result being, the viewer
becomes directly in tune with her ex:
perience, and ultimately her sorrow. Var-
da's shots are meticulously detailed to
allow only specific elements in the frame
For example, the sun does not appear in
one shot in the film, Varda’s detailed work
succeeds because the sorrow of the story
diffuses into the viewer

The Methods Of A Master

{not just of Mur Murs, but of life itself

‘The Artistic
Expression

ir Murs is a documentary poem about Los Angeles, Its author, Agnes Varda,
doesn't portray the cliched Los Angeles of cars, highways, concrete, and

Hollywood, She makes a film of its painted walls: “living, breathing, feeling,
falking Walls" (In French Mur Murs means Wall Walls and it sounds like*murmurs’).

Through these murals Varda expresses her way of seeing and, at the same time, her way

of seeing enhances the beauty and expression of these walls

Andrea Wolfe

Varda's vision challenges the viewers perception of reality and illusion. She fashions a
harmony of gesture, narration, music and mural, For example: as the narrator describes
* a juggler advances along a dark wall, The camera tracks his vivid

murals as “moving
“moving mural!” Is life im

clothing and the gleaming pins that he tosses~thus creating a
itating art or is art imitating life?

paniment imitates their frightened squealing. Two Farmer Joh

features squatting pink pigs. Are they illustration or imagination?

‘Agnes Varda's images do more than question illusion. In a beautiful shot of a mural of
whales underwater, Varda finds a group of people to queue up along its base and to glide
through a set of Tal-chi moves. Their gestures jn unison resemble the gentle undulations
of the ocean, Varda's camera is stil, respectfully letting these movements and the mural
touch our imagination. Indeed, throughout this sunny, colorful mosaic, Varda's point of
view enhances our appreciation of these walls and these artists. As she says, “Mural, that
means: ‘I exist! and filming murals, that means I {ilm-exist."

In Documenteur Varda films the woman who tapes the commentary of Murs Murs.
Separated from the man she loves, Emile lives in Los Angeles with her son. Documenteur
ig not a sequel to Murs Murs, itis its flip side, or in Varda's perfect mataphor--shadow.
Any object would seem flat without its shadow and as such, Documenteur supports,
verifies, Murs Murs.

She has stated in the past that she didn't

Documenteur, filmed in 1981, Is a fic
tional film described by Varda as a shadow
of Mur Murs, In one sense it Is a fictional
documentary of the narrator of Mur Murs

highly emotional film of the exploration of
alienation, in this case the separation of

In Cleo from 6 to 7, Varda's second {ull

beautiful mixture of documentary and fle-
lion, The scene, Paris, The woman, Cleo.
Cleo from 5 to 7 is a film about the
reallzation-transformation of self. Cleo
transforms herself from being an ego:

the Editor:
fter reading the letter in Tuesday's ASP by Dave Asher
Will Yurman, I began to question exactly what duties
esponsibilities must be accepted along with freedom of
press, While I am a strong believer in this privilege, 1
that it must be used with great care, Tam not sure that
ASP understood its responsibilities when printing Tues-
Ps endorsements, and, in fact, one can question what
ASPs position actually i
sording to the Constitution of the United States, the
P has the right to print its views on certain issues, But
sider this: while commercial newspapers, each have a
fain constituency (which they must satisfy, or suffer loss
ales). The ASP is the only independent voice on cam-
jas Asher and Yurman pointed out, Therefore, its views
Wvirtually unchallenged, and that is not why the first
ndment was established,
furthermore I would like to point out the shabby and in
juate job the ASP did in endorsing candidates, For ex-
ple, look at the cast of SA vice presiden

neider is the best candidate, However, the opening
graph of this article states that both candidates are
ble of handling the job, The article then goes on to first
MPimlse Schneider, then point out his weaknesses (many of

West candidate.
HAx equally inadequate job was also done on Rot

person in the same article? This shows that either the

The ASP invited decending opinions and that is why we
sprint letters such as Asher and Yurman's, as well as the

I did not intend the response as anti-semitic, The only

Music to the people

To the Editor:

We at UCB don't take our jobs lightly; we may only be
students and yet we consider ourselves in a professional
light since we deal with professionals (managers, techni-
cians, roadies, musicians, talent agents, radio stations,
critics, the list could go on...) year round,

The University Concert Board is composed of thirteen
hardworking individuals and approximately 100 committee
members who do everything from choosing the acts and
running Weekly meetings (10 p.m, every Monday in the
.C, Assembly Hall) to mopping floors in the Palace
Theatre and searching for drummers asleep in the wrong
hotel room,

We are serious individuals who attend conferences from
which we bring back valuable knowledge that in turn
benefits any interested student and the entire university
community, We realize as humans that sometimes we make
mistakes and because of this quality we acknowledge that
aan oversight (due to lack of reporters or spring break) must
have been made by the ASP when not one review of the
March 21 Joe Juckson concert graced the pages of our fine
student publication,

This concert was presented by UCB and 91 FM and for
the first time since Dan Fogelberg four years ago, afforded
SUNYA students the sole opportunity to purchase tickets
for the first (wo days of sales (the concert sold out in three).

We don't ask for much, our job is solfsrewarding, but
many of our fellow students! major complaints are
they weren't aware that a production was student r
more times than not cheaper to attend,

So come on ASP, you're students also, Give us a hand so
bring the music to the people,"

Biting sarcasm

To the Editor:
We would like to rebut Mr. DeCastro’s letter of April 13th
in the ASP,

Mr, DeCastro, your great sarcasm was offensive to many
of us,

We understand that UAS has @ “tough job,"’ even
though most students don't realize it. We hope that people
can become aware of the services provided by UAS as
staled in Mr, DeCastro’s letter (c.g.: a dietician on the
premises, ability to fight for different and better food).

UAS iries to accomodate the Catholic students by servin;
fish on Friday nights, Due to elroumstances beyond "their"
control, special foods for dietary purposes may not be
available, Being Jews, we assumed (as you did during Lent)
that UAS would be prepared to meet our needs, It seemed
this wasn't so, Information was limited about the Passover
meals before the vacation, Many who would have signed up.
in advance didn't know they had to, nee menus weren't
publicized beforehand no one knew what to expect for din-
her on the last night of Passover. When we found out what
was being served (breaded chicken parmegian and ham) it
was (oo late to get Passover meals on Dutch because they
were “sold out,'’ So what choice did the Jews have on the
last night of Passover? Inconvenience (by going out) or
starving.

Mr, DeCastro, you as the average student paying board
rates do not contribute to the kosher kitchen at all, Only
those paying $200 more a semester do, Fact: The kosher
kitchen was only moved when UAS renovated the Dutch
Quad cafeteria,

Mr, DeCastro, is it your business to judge how religious
another is? It's just as easy to say that Catholics do not
have fish on Lent, From now on, do all the Jews a favor
and keep you sarcastic remarks out of the ASP,

— Barry

Stay with jazz

To the Editor:

1 am enraged and appalled by WCDB's recent
managerial decision 10 drastically reduce jazz shows. The
new policy, effective April 11, no longer represents a vital
segment of SUNYA’s radio listenership. Under the new
policy jazz shows will be reduced from 21 hours a week to
only 8 Third’ World will replace these Hours, increasing
their shows from 21 (o 24 hours a week,

AS a graduating senor 1 can easily be apathetic and ig-
hore this Issue. After all, my time at SUNYA is almost ata
close, Yet, as a jazz listener I feel it Is necessary to call to at-
tention to the manager of WCDB a viable and existing jazz
listenership, One only has to tune into Q104's newly added
jazz show to see this, If' commercial station ts willing 10

Would not have learned about if it wasn't for the radio pro:

ns at SUNYA, Ate the managers so close-minded that
they need to hide behind a secure wall of rock and roll?

{am all for inereasing the hours of third world because i
is also an alternative form of music that has a substantial
followership, and should be adaquately represented, am
also aware 4 larger demand for rock and roll exists at
SUNYA, However, this demand is more than fulfilled by
the current programming schedule, Currently, approx
imately 126 hours of radio programming is set aside for
rock, 21 for jase, and 21 for third world, To decrease the
hours of jaz? further seriously compromises WCDB's sup
posed dedication to diversity

To the statement by the managers that there is not a

poll was taken of students on campus? No such effort has
been made and to me this ean only represent misman
ment and lack of full committment by the mangers (0 diver-
sity

A major problem with keeping jazz on the air is finding
DJ's, Six out of the seven jazz Di's are graduating and as
of now there are only four to replace them. There are many.
jazz enthusiasts on campus unaware of the opportunity.

courage and train jazz DJ's by advertising a sp
{crest meeting would require minimal effort and expense.
This can only be accomplished through the combined el
forts of the jazz director and the top executive at WDB —
an effort which up till now has been lacking, If the jazs
department has been lax in thier efforts to promote jazz,
this only reflects an even larger lack of motivation on the
part of the top executives at WCDB, It is their responsibili
ly (0 find enthusiastic directors and D.J?s for their depart

{ant is not the proper solution to a personnel problem,

WCDB is a noncommercial station which gives it the
liberty to move away from the top forty style, Musical
diversity has always been one of WCDB!s strong points, 1
Suggest WCDB take a closer look at its community and

mpus audience, SUNYA does not live on rock and roll
alone!

Urban policy studied at SUNYA

By Bob Gardinier

STAFF WRITER

Reaganomics is a ‘contraction of the welfare state
and an expansion of the warfare state,” said
sociologist Richard Hill of Michigan State University
during his presentation at “Urban Theory and Na:
tional Urban Policy for the 1980's,"" a conference of
Teading urban theorists held at the university.

Urban research and development, in the light of re-
cent economic trends and the new federalism, was the
focus of the indepth discussion this past weekend at
SUNYA’s Alumni House (o evaluate the Reagan ad-
ministration's approach to urban revitilization

The conference was a chance for experts and
specialists from many disciplines to discuss, from a
sociological perspective, ways to reform and revitalize
cities and communities. Although the tone of the con-
ference ran theoretical, there were some relevant
points made regarding existing conditions in com:
munities,

The present administration has condemned the
federalism idea, Hill continued, because the program
hhas less to do with the advancement and betterment of
the communities. "It instigates stiff competition bet-
ween the states and the communities over the scarcer
federal dollars,” he said,

Schenectady County Mani Robert McEvoy,
who was present at the conference, said that “there is a
need for new thinking and new structures at the local
level because there are less dollars available from the
fede

Hill went on to explain that the assumption of the
present administration, that to free up and facilitate
large corporations and conglomerates hold the only
solution, is way off base, ‘These conglomerates are
only interested in their own profits; they are not in-
terested in urban policy or development,” he said.

The big corporations, Hill said, wipe out the local
small businesses or absorb them, the present trend be:
ing for these companies to leave the U,S, for foreign
Work markets, The communities have no control over
what these large corporations do, according to Hill
“There is a need for new political action within the
communities if they are to improve, In this
New Right might be on the right track,’

"The trend should be for more planning on the
community level. The community has to take over
some control of the conglomerates, but the center of
the debate for urban theorists is just who will be in
volved in this planning," Hill explained after the con
ference,

A member of the Center for Women in Government
at SUNYA, Amy Svitsky, disagreed with Hill's
assumption that more authority should be taken on the
community level. “A lot of corruption and. bad
governiment exists on the local level,"” she sald, Monies
allocated to the localities have been often misspent, ac
cording to Svirsky, the reason being the existance of
fayoritism, party machine politics and bad: manage
ment

“There has to be some marriage between these
theories of urban development and the reality of

political power in action on the local level,’ said Svir-
sky.

According to a member of the sociology department
of the University of California, Roger Freidland,
“small businesses are more competative and prevelent
than ever before, 1 strongly disagree with Mr. Hill's
ideas.” Bernard Weinstein of the John Gray Institute
in Beaumor, Texas, agreed with Freidland and refuted
Hill's ideas also, saying that “there is much evidence
to support the assumption that small businesses are
growing in the communities.""

Hill agreed with this, but, he sald, “hundreds of

all businesses might exist
ipheral suppliers or rely on the

corporations, One of these conglomerat
Or moves, and you lose a hundred of the small
businesses,"" he said

“"We can no longer refer to the corporation as ours
on the commuinity level, They are beyond the com-
munity control,’ University of California
sociologist Harvey Molotch,

‘The trend should be for
more planning on the
community level.’

— Richard Hill

Molotch had some criticism for the appropriation of
the Work contracted out by the defense department
“The areas that benefit most from the defense industry
need it the least,"” he said

“Enterprise zones should be set up and the defense
depariment should be given tax breaks to contract
more work out to the needy areas," said Moloteh.

Hill stated that these enterprise zones — needy areas
where industries can get tax breaks if they locate
“are a plausible solution and yery helpful but are not

used! as extensively or successfully as they should

Molotch predicted that the sunbelt will soon ex
perience some negative repercussions from the influx
of new industry there, ‘Increasing industrialization of
the sunbelt will soon experience some negative reper
cussions from the influx of new industry there, "In
creasing industrialization of the sunbelt area may have
some very costly ecological consequences that might
make the present situations of the northern area look

"he said,

Progressive urban policy changes “will not advance
by flapping our right and left wings exclusively,” said
SUNY-Stony Brook sociologist Glenn Yago, Sidi
With the opinions of most theorists at the conference,
Yago believed that any effort at urban improvement
must come from cooperation of differing views.

“Urban research and change has been narrowed by
strong political and industrial interests on every level,”
said Yago, He cited 4 recent event in California where

Albany stickmen rout Hartwick in home opener

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

When the Albany State men's lacrosse

team took the field for its home opener
Thursday afternoon against the Hartwick
Warriors, the shellacking they took two days
earlier to the Cortland Red Dragons had to
be in the back of their minds, Hartwick had
to pay the price for Albany's revenge, as the
Danes cruised to a 14-2 romp,

Albany dominated in every phase of the
game, firing 53 shots on net and controlling
the ball for virtually the entire 60 minutes,
Goalie Alan Cornfield had a shutout for
three periods before surrendering two goals
in the final stanza, But by then, the game was
securely in hand,

Senior Ken DaRos got Albany the early

id by taking a pass from John Reilly and
iring it home for the first goal of the contest
Dave Faust and Joe Paliseno also scored in
the first period, which ended with Albany on

The Danes extended their margin to 5.0 by
scoring twice more in the second period, Bill

son intercepted a clearing pass from
Hartwick's goalie, fed Faust in front, and the
senior notched his second goal of the gam
putting Albany in front, 4-0, Junior Bob
Venier closed out the half by taking a pass
from Faust and scoring with only seven
seconds remaining

Albany outshot Hartwick 23-7 in the open
ing 30 minutes, and missed on a number of
other good opportunities, Defensively, the
Danes did an excellent job of clearing the
ball, and Cornficld had a relatively easy half

their lead to 10-0,

Danes remain winless following 8-5 loss to RPI

By Mare Schwarz

The Albany State Great Dane baseball team remains
winless following yesterday afternoon's 8-5 defeat at the
hands of the R.P.I, Engineers at 17th St, Field in Troy

The 0-3 Danes were leading 3-1 entering the bottom of
the seventh inning when the Engineers scored four runs on
only two base hits to take the lead they would not give up.

A key mental mistake and the sudden inability of Albany
pitchers to get the ball over the plate allowed the 6-1
Engineers to score seven runs in the seventh and eighth inn
ings with the aid of eight walks and two swild pitches.

The Danes did not help their own cause offensively

After last Saturday's game, when

of a doubleheader, head coach Lee

quite accurate,

Combining strong pitching, time-

Danes won the opener, 3-1 and
breezed by the Red Dragons in the
nightcap, 6-1, Albany's record now
stands at 3-2, and they stretched
their winning streak to three games.

The story of the first game
centered around pitcher Wendy

Williams wound up pitching all

This week marks a departure from my
usual trivial style. Events of the past week
have made my typical chitter chatter about
local celebrities seem slightly more than
‘meaningless, I'm going to try and make this
weeks installment of my column mean
something

The Russkies finally did it, They launched
the big strike, namely the old bomberino, |
spoke to some of my old Pals, and got their
feaction to the devestation of the nation. Al
Sloan ,owner of the local Budget Rent A Car,
told me that the bomb really damaged his
fleet of 116 cars, but that most customers
wouldn't even notice the difference. “Why, |
haven't replaced a car in five years”, sald the
miserly Sloan, “and this may have hurt my
reputation among the local people, But now
that the Avis, Hertz, and National Rent A Car
buildings have been vaporized, my business
should improve greatly”. Al's a shrewd man,
and he knows his market

Albany slumlord, Mrs. Dee owner of
dozens of ratraps and claptraps, said that
although the blast had knocked several
buildings down, SUNY students are “such
stupid morons thal they'll take any ‘place
where they can move thelr stuff. It doesn’t
matter if the place is a tent.’ When con-
fronted with the fact that she is the most in-
famous landlord in Northern New York
State, Mrs, Dee stated that she really didn't
care, although she was upset about the
several death threats she’s received, ‘I'm
just an honest businesswoman with a lousy
name, and all I'm tryin to da is provide a well
needed service for all my friends at SUNY.
Now that SUNY Js just chunks of concrete
and steel, I’m gonna have to find some illegal
aliens to rent to.’

Speaking of SUNY, local columnist Barfey
Fouler said “Thank God them Commie Hip-
ple kids Is dead! | never liked any one of ‘em
That paper they had always put me down,
calling me things that 1 never even heard
before, Switching: | don't think that a loss of
a major university will hurt our community.
Them lousy kids only spent their money on
taking pot and other drugs. Why they
couldn't be real Americans and drink {ll
never know”

Thousands of State workers will have to
find something else to do come Monday

morning, as the State Office Campus Is now
mingled with SUNY and the Pine Bush.
Mario Cuomo , governor, vowed to try and
find jobs for his pals. 'Sure it’s gonna be
tough, but we've always had a great system
of political patronage in the State, and | see
no reason why a couple of thousand
‘megatons should change anything”.

Ed “How am | doing’’ Koch , Mayor of
the City of New York, probably regrets his
remarks about Suburban life being sterile.
Rumor has it that that last term now applies
to the mayor himself, Erastus “what am |
doing’ Corning, in Boston, told me in a
radio interview that he feels real bad about
Albany being little more than a crater, “It
took me forty years to build up that hole, and
now that's exactly what it is". The interview
was cut short by the Mayor's five pm water-

ing.

Rip Rowan-did he cause a nuclear holocaust?

Lark Street, once the hotbed of Albany
nightlife, Is now a hotbed of radiation. Joe
Slash, owner of 478 Lark Street, a place
considered to be the best bar in the state,
said “Now that we're gone, maybe people
will appreciate us, and not call us a phony
punk place. I'm not bitter, you understand.
How can | be bitter after all those years of
people paying 2 dollars to squeeze into our
Upstairs closet on the pretense vf dancing

credible what people will do to

To be fair, 478's reputation had
become tarnished in the last few years, as
bums and transients forced the leather clad
girls out, Still, 478 will be missed, especially
now that everything else is destroyed,

Pop Sickle » Owner of WXXA,
Albany's newest television station, sounded
frustrated that 85 percent of his audience is
either dead or blind. "We just get the ball
rolling, and the lousy Russians spoil
everything. | wouldn't be too surprised if
Dick Wood, Rip Rowan and Mac from TV 13
all had something to do with this. How are

Hot Spots

by C. Jerry Booth

One of The Capital District's most chic
restaurant clubs is boasting something new.

The busy Art Deco diner, the Dreg and
You, at Oscar Madison Avenue in Albany,
has a reputation forfine meals, served ‘round
the clock. It has, until now, had a ‘’no reser-
vations neccessary” policy.

‘All that has changed. To get a seat in the
trendy “Dreg’” is next to impossible. Most
are lucky if they can squeeze up to the win-
dow to check out the muffins. Albany's The
Dreg and You has finally made the big move
towards “restrictive admission”.

‘Owner Oyve Gevalt feels that Albany was
ready for the change. I go down to the City
and | see people waiting to get into
Danceteria or Studio or the classy Oren &
Aretsky's. They like waiting to be picked, It
makes them feel that what's inside is more
Important, | love to watch ‘em squirm,
wondering if they're cool enough to get in. |
0 nuts when | see them tapped, trying not
to smile or rush as they walk in the door’’

Why Gevalt feels Albany is fair game for
restrictive admission Is due partially to bars
like Beirut’s and E.T.’s that keep people
waiting to get in. “By being restrictive, we
carry the game alittle further, Now you don’t
Just come in and order your lumber jack,
drink coffee for 3 hours, then leave. You
order the Tender Baby Beef Liver even
though you hate it, But you eat it because
everyone else does. | can make ‘em eat
anything now. The Keith Richards Burger
($10.50) and the Warhol Watercress Salad

We going to sell ads, now that our audience
is really small? In fact, who are we going to
sell ads to? | knew that the other stations
hated us because we stole half their au-
diences from them, but | never thought that
they'd incite a war to deal with us.”” Dick
Wood, fluff-headed anchorman at WTEN
and winner of the Ted Baxter award for an-
nouncing quality, said that while he was sure
that the war would have some effect on the
Capital District, he wasn’t sure what it would
be: “Gosh, this whole thing has us all in a tiz~
zy over here at Channel Ten, your news sta-
tion, but | don't know what we'll say about
it, Right now, we've slotted the story behind
the really big news item, the victory of the
Albany-Colonie A's over those nutty
Shakers’. Wood seemed oblivious to the
fact that the entire A’s team was consumed
in the initial fireball, and that the Shaker’s
home area was a parched, scorched

The Dreg’s a Downtown Hit

($9.95) are both doing well, but we sell more
of the Kelths on weekdays than weekends,
because we're letting in a different crowd.’

‘And who does the “letting in! | talked to
doormen Serge Cosaire and. ‘Flamingo’
Gianeto to see what they look for. Serge sald
he goes for that “Cleopatra hairstyle , dark
‘eyes, and dull clothes. | only let in guys of
they're with women, Women are more fun
anyway, and they dress better.” Flamingo
said he goes for a flashier look, ‘‘The other
night, all the way in the back of the line, by
Joseph Buxom Sailors,! saw a brunette with
wild, curly hair and red lipstick, She had on a
White tux shirt, shimmering green bowtic
and long red leather gloves, Outrageous!
simply had to. let her in-she had so much
pizazz.”

Stiv Durschlag, author of “Jerry Doesn't
Live Here Anymore," is a frequenter of
Dreg. Said Stiv, “It’s a cool place to be. The
food is cool, the coffee is hot, and so are the
chicks, The music is a little loud, but it give
the joint more of a club atmosphere. They
play a lot of Nina Hagen, Grace Jones, Talk
ing Heads, and Adrian Belew at night. Mor
ings it's Eno, Anthony Philips, Berson, and
Vangelis, There's talk about adding a
but nothing is in the works just yet." When
asked why he keeps coming back, Stiv said

the seafood, | used to be an Undersea ex
plorer, and |’ know fish, My favorite is the
stuffed Man ‘QO War. It's great!!!

USFL Comes to Albany

by Moe Mohnson

Check around the Albany area these days
and you will find several professional sports
teams popping up. Downtown, the
Washington Avenue Armory plays host to
the Continental Basketball Association's
Albany Patrons, while the stands at
ephemeral Bleecker Stadium will soon be
filled with fans cheering for the Albany-
Colonie Athletics. Well, there is now
another one to add to the list. The Albany
State Great Danes are leaving the collegiate
ranks to join the new professional football
league, the USFL,

“From the day | saw Albany almost defeat
Southern Connecticut last fall, | knew that
they would be a fine addition to our league,’”
said USFL commissioner Chet Simmons at a
press conference held at the Albany Hilton,
“We need the wishbone offense in the pros
and Bear Bryant is not available."’

“think that we will be ready for this
league,” sald Albany State head football
‘coach Bob Ford, “I've watched a couple of
thelr games on television in the last few
weeks and I'd have to say that they can’t be

Ridiculous
review

Dear METROLAME:

He did it againl! Your ‘esteemed’ critic,
Ronald Wilcocks, fell down over himself
plugging a group who stroked his Zeppelin-
sized ego. | am so enraged, appalled, sicken-
ed, and nauseated at this blatant display of
favoritism that | am considering relocating to
Utica

What did he dot In the March 17th
Metrolame, we were treated to a review of
4 Joe Pepicelli concert, and | use that last
term lightly. To those of you who weren't at
the Anthrax that night, Pepicelli and his band
the Squirm, played a totally uninspired, fat,
boring show. On top of this, he insulted
members of the audience, even throwing a
guitar at one of them, The audience respond:
ed with a shower of bottles, one of which
must've struck Wilcocks in the head. Did we
see the same show? | don't seem to recall
any instances of “thunderous applause”. Mr.
Wilcocks said that Pepicelli had a “warm
open rapport with his audience’', Somehow.

any better than some of the Division Ill com
petition we've faced.’”

The addition of the Danes to this young
Jeague will provide the necessary credibility
it needs to lure fans to spring time football,
The USFL is sorely in need of a bona fide at-
traction,

“We've been sweating lately because so
far Herschel (Walker) has been a tremen
dous flop. With their Division IIl_ prowess,
the Danes are a guaranteed draw,'" Simmons
said,

‘And the Danes are coming rather cheap. It
took five million bucks to entice Herschel to
join the league, while the Danes came for
ext-to-nothing.Ford sald that the league will
provide Albany with a real scoreboard for
University Field and coloring books to keep
the players busy on long road trips.

“This is a once In a lifetime dream,” said
Simmons, “We would have been lucky to
get'a player like Dave Hardy alone but now.
We've got him and his whole team as well.”

‘Always a nationally ranked Division
team, Albany's entrance into the USFL has
stirred fear in the minds of several of the

{don't think that screaming Insults at late:
comers shows any love for his fans, Likwise, |
don't think a $12.50 admission price is a
steal"! 10 quote Wilcocks.

In the same article, Wilcocks practically
kisses the feet of Valerie Lane and the
IeecubesiHey Ron-Just because some trashy
hardcore band dedicates a song to you,
there's no reason to call them ‘‘the best thing

that, Valerie Lane js a talentless, frigid per-
former, with all the charm of a stool, Why
don't you wake up and smell the coffee, and
While you're doing that, reach over and
wake Valerie up, too,

Ronald Wilcocks responds:
As a rock journalist, | welcome the criticism
that comes with the territory, But enough is
enough. | may have gone a bit overboard
with ny assessment of Pepicelli, but | stand
by my views about the man himself, He's a
professional in every sense of the word, and
all he wants is same respect fram his public,
something he wasn't getting that night, As far
as Valerie Lane goes, see no reason to resort

mazel, Albany has to join.|t’s such a schlepp
there,””
I've never seen the Danes play but | have
heard much about them," said Chicago Blitz

head coach George Allen. “Where is
Albany anyway?!”

It’s just off the New York State Thruway,
George,and should be just the oasis that the
USFL is looking for. “We're happy to have
Aibany on our side,” Simmons concluded

Dear METROLAME

1 enjoy your fine newspaper, and usually
find the reporting to be fair and unbiased, |
must, however, object to the March 26th
cover story, by a Mr. Jerry Berson, entitled
"Albany-An International Attractiont”, Mr
Berson takes the point of view that this city
definitely is a worldwide attraction, Compar:
ing this town to large American cities is bad
enough, but equating local attractions like
the Hotel Wellington with the Parisian Ritz
borders on the psychotic, How can you even
mention the hills of Naples in the same
sentence with the State Street hill? The Em
pire State Plaza, while being the only wor
thwhile thing between Yankee Stadium and
Montreal, does not however, qualify as an

Albany is a nice town, I'll grant you that
But why do you have to go crazy with com
parisons? I don’t agree that Central Avenue is
anywhere near the excitement of the Tokyo
Ginza, and | don't think anyone not confined
to a rubber room would take a different
viewpoint. Likewise, Mr. Berson's com:
parison of the SUNY-belltower with the
Leaning Tower of Piza, while being struc
turally correct, nonetheless is an asinine opi-
ion to hold

Mr, Berson’s article smacks of a tongue-in
cheek style of writing. Is this the case? If itis,
you've managed to destroy your credibility.
If it isn’t, you've got one deluded writer on
your hands.

DirtBag-living legends

By Ronald E. Wilcocks

roll here in the magnificent, vibrant

Capital District. Friday night, Steve
Wong, of local fave raves DirtBag, got me in
free to see their show at the Gravel Inn in
Scotia, I, along with a mob of over 30, thrill-
fed to the classical-reggae sound of Dirtbag, a
band that is truly a legend in their own time.
What really impressed me about this show
lwas how nice the band was to me, They ac-
tually dedicated a song to “the best rock jour-
Inalist since Lisa Robinson.” Wow! You
know, I'm going to let my friends at Warner
Brothers (or WB, as we insiders call it) know
pbout DirtBag, Sure, classical-repgae is a bit
bf a hybrid, but gosh, they were so friendly
ind nice,

I t was quite a wild weekend for rock'n’

He was so impressed that he said he was go-
Jing to fly up that night. Anyway, my old pal
Tina didn’t sound too happy to hear from
me, Actually, she hung up, Could this be
linked to a possible breakup of the band?
Personally, 1 haven't enjoyed a Talking
Heads record since they did that song “Take
Me to the Water.” It just goes to show you
that the local music scene is much more thrill-
ing than following dinosaurs like the Talking
Heads, Bands like DirtBag, the Humping

US Embassy in Lebanon
bombed; 39 killed in blast

Beirut, Lebanon
(AP) Resctte squads searched shattered concrete, pulverized plaster,
and mangled office furniture of the U.S, Embassy today,looking for
more corpses and survivors from the terrarist bombing that killed at
least 39 people, Including six Americans,U.S. officials said the death
toll from the blast Monday could rise because at least two other
Americans were missing, A Lebanese official sald 22 Americans and
98 Lebanese were wounded,

The blast, which occured at 1:05 p.m, (6:05 EST) blew off the front
wall’of the center section of the seven story embassy from the ground
to the roof and devastated the ground floor vi
thern wing,

Ambulances and fire engines raced through Heist streets with wait
ing sirens after the attack, rushing casualties from ths seene and put
ting out fires in the building and several cars parked around It

Casualties also were airlifted to U.S, and French hospital ships sta
tioned off the Beirut coast ay state and private Beirut radios blared apy
peals from hospitals for urgent blood donations,

Police said the front of the seaside embassy was blown oul by 500
pounds of explosives pucked into a vehicle which witnesses described
as "GMC pickup," But the police said it was not known if the ex-
plosives were set off by remote control or if the driver was still in It and
blew himself up,

An earlier police report sald the vehicle was a gray cat used by the
Lebanese security police,

In Washington, Assistant Secretary of State Lawrence
sid the dead Americans included Wo Foreign
members of the Office of Military Cooperation
the Agency for International Development,

The Pentagon identified the two dead military advisors as Suh Sgt.
Ben H, Maxwell, 26, of Appomatiox, Va,, and Set, 1st Class Richard
‘Twine, 36, hometown unknown, The other Americansconfirmed dead
were not immediately identified,

Private radio stations sald more than 40 people were Killed in the ex-
plosion, and that several bodies were blown into the Mediterranci
from the embassy compound on the seafront in west Beirut’s mostly
Moslem Ein Mreissch neighborhood, The facade of the main embassy
section was torn off by the bomb,

U,S, Ambassador Robert Dillon, who was preparing to jog when
the bomb went off and was ina fogging sult, escaped from the rubble
of his top-floor office by climbing out onto a balcony, then re-entering
on a lower floor, He suffered minor cuts and said the bomb-laden
ehiole may have crashed Hhrough a barricade

“Twas standing up with a telephone in one hand and a T-shirt in the
other, Iwas preparing to go out and jog, when all of a sudden my of

Siudent exchange programs between the
United Siates and the People's Republic of
China apparently will not be affected by the
cultural embargo announced by China last
Week, according to Associate Professor Alvin

Responding to the recent U.S, decision to
ant 19-year-old Chinese tennis star Hu Na
tical asylum, the Chinese government an
nounced a halt of cultural exchanges schediut:

Magid said he could only speculate as 10
Hu Na’s reasons for defecting. ‘Being
manipulated by the CIA is a popular, easy
charge. It could be that she was exposed 10
pro-Taiwan interests, or maybe she’s out to
make a million bucks."”

Magid suggested that had Hu Na not men-
tioned party pressures as her reason. for
defecting, ‘the Chinese reaction might not

Ward said that he knew of no cancellations
of exchanges planned for the fall of 1983,
and that the 16 Chinese exchange students
now at Albany were in no danger.

When asked whether he might be asked to
return to China, Visiting Scholar Han Zhang
