O’Leary: SUNYA jobs are threatened by cuts
By Morgan Lyle
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
SUNYA President Vincent O’Leary yesterday
predicted that Gov. Mario Cuomo’s proposed budget
would force the layoffs of 88 people at the University.
Speaking at a meeting of the University Council, an ad-
visory panel appointed by the governor which oversees
policy at SUNYA, O’Leary said cutting spending by four
percent would require laying off 35 faculty members and
53 support staff personnel.
O’Leary also joined SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce
Johnstone in refusing to rule out a tuition increase.
““At some point, I assume if the legislature’s response
(to the proposed budget) is insufficient, tuition will come
on the table,” O’Leary said.
O’Leary’s remarks came as the SUNY community,
from the Board of Trustees to student advocacy groups,
began to react to the executive budget.
At the Trustee’s meeting Wednesday, Johnstone called
the budget ‘‘challenging and difficult’ and said it would
result in a smaller state university because of permanent
cuts in personnel and enrollment levels.
Johnstone said the impact of reduced enrollments on
New Yorkers seeking higher education at SUNY could be
cushioned by a perceived 15 percent decline in the number
of high school graduates.
Johnstone admitted being ‘‘on the horns of a dilem-
ma”, because of the possibility that recipients of
Cuomo’s highly-touted Liberty Scholarship Program
could find themselves closed out of the university.
Trustee Judith Davidson-Moyers called the projected
budget deficit of $2.3 billion “a politically created
emergency for the government of New York,’”’ and said
that while the state’s private economy is thriving, there is
ne guarantee of its continued health.
“Just about three years from now, we may be faced
with a lack of tax revenues in New York State,’”’ she said.
The budget also calls for a major debt restructuring
which would allow SUNY to use, over the next two years,
$360 million it currently holds in reserve. The plan calls
for the state Dormitory Authoritiy to take over payments
on the debt incurred in SUNY’s construction. That debt is
now the responsibility of the Housing Finance Authority.
Another source of new revenue in Cuomo’s budget is
an increase in parking fees. O’Leary said yesterday that
the fee would increase from its present level of $7 per year
to $10 per month at all SUNY campuses, raising $2.8
million.
SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone
State budget difficulties are driving up tuitions nationwide
The Student Association of the State University
(SASU) has begun a publicity campaign to rally support
in the legislature in hopes of reinstating some of the fun-
ding before the budget is passed in April. A ‘‘Save
SUNY” rally and lobby day is planned for Feb. 13, and
SASU is urging students to write to state Assembly
Speaker Melvin Miller and state Senate Majority Leader
Ralph Marino demanding restoration of the cuts and sav-
ing of the positions.
Johnstone has said the proposed budget would require
650 layoffs SUNY-wide, and could lead to ‘‘curtailment
and even elimination of academic programs’ and
“school or major program phase-outs.’” o
CIENKE UPS:
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Tuition appears to be primed to
rise again nationwide.
While nothing is official yet, a
look at the budgets now being
considered by state legislatures,
regents and trustees around the
country suggest that the price of
college will be significantly
higher next year.
Oregon Governor Neil
Goldschmidt, for example, sub-
mitted a budget Jan. 4 to his
state legislature that, if passed,
would translate into a 5 percent
hike for most state students and
a 10 percent hike for students at
the University of Oregon and
Oregon State University.
“A 6-to-8 percent increase is as
good a guess as any’ for
students nationwide, said Art
Hauptman, an education con-
sultant to the American Council
on Education, after scanning
such early indicators.
Tuitions for 1988-89 rose an
average 7 percent over
1987-1988, according to the Col-
lege Board.
The inflation rate in the
United States — the increase in
prices for general items from
cars to shoes — was “‘only’”’ 4
percent during the same time.
As a result, the average 4-year
public school student is paying
$1,483 in tuition this year, while
students pay an average $6,457
to go to private 4-year colleges,
$750 to go to public 2-year col-
leges and $4,415 to go to private
2-year campuses, the College
Board figured last fall.
Some bills for next fall are
already set.
Baylor University students
will pay 8 percent more next
year. The University of Nor-
thern Iowa’s prices will go up. 7
percent for in-state students, 9
percent for nonresidents. At
Utah State, in-state stuents will
pay 9 percent more. At Duke
University in North Carolina,
rates will rise 7.1 percent for
undergrads.

Council split by absence of Chief Justice
By lan Wagreich
NEWS EDITOR
The Student Association failed Wednes-
day to pass a resolution calling for the
replacement of acting Supreme Court
Chief Justice Dina Feldman after more
than two hours of heated debate.
The debate raised questions about the
willingness of the executive branch to ac-
cept a resolution that activated the checks
and balances system as well as the
cohesiveness of SUNYA’s student govern-
ing body.
Many showed discontent after the
debate concluded, expressing insecurities
about the state of SA.

“P’ve seen several attacks on the ex-
ecutive branch,” one visitor the the Coun-
cil alleged. ‘‘But there are more important
things to do.””
The resolution called for the temporary
appointment of a Chief Justice to the SA
Supreme Court by Fern Cohen, acting vice
president. This would have recommended
the appointment and would not have been
mandatory.
“James (Lamb, SA President) asked me
to hold off and not make the appoint-
ment,”’ Cohen stated. ‘‘I’m not going to
do what James asked me not to do.”
Lamb is on temporary leave from office.
One council-member called Cohen’s
statement an “‘executive filibuster.”
Introduced by Fermin Espinosa and
Rory Whelan of the Internal affairs Com-
mittee, the resolution was due to what they
called the possible need for the Supreme
Court after by-elections and other events
took place. This would include some ap-
pointments made by the executive branch.
Feldman’s temporary appointment from
an Associate Justice was made by James
Lamb last semester after SA failed to make
an appointment to the position.
Before Feldman’s ‘acting’ status was
took effect, her application for Chief
Justice was reviewed by the Internal Af-
fairs Committee. The recommendation by
the committee then goes to the Central
Council, but is not binding.
After Felman’s interview, Internal Af-
fairs voted zero for her appointment and
seven against with two abstentions. The
issue never made it to the Council floor
after Lamb withdrew the nomination.
“It’s not a condemnation of
anyone...(the resolution) is based on how
Internal Affairs found that interview...and
it was found that she’s not competent in
any way shape or form,” said Dwayne
Wilkins.
Among the committee members’ com-
plaints against Feldman was that she had
confused ‘‘affirmative action’? with
“equal opportunity employment” during
her interview.
Thompson said Feldman’s leadership
skills were also questioned by the
committee.
But Thompson expressed disappoint-
ment that a resolution calling for a tem-
porary Chief Justice to be appointed turn-
ed into a personal attack on Feldman, and
that the attack occured when she was not
present to defend herself.
“J felt so sorry for that woman,”
Thompson said.
“Her appointment failed (in commit-
tee), and that’s it. The issue was that

(AP) Authorities Wednesday raided the

Customs authorities made searches ‘‘on
suspicion that export laws had been

for the prosecutor’s cffice in Offenburg.
He declined to identify the businesses
searched, but confirmed that the

Imhausen-Chemie is suspected of play-
ing a major role in building the factory in
Rabta, about 60 miles south of the Libyan
capital of Tripoli.
U.S. officials say Libya intends to pro-

Martinez assassinated
Tegucigalpa, Honduras
(AP) The former armed forces commander
who founded the Nicaraguan rebel move-
ment in Honduras was assassinated on
Wednesday by six men who riddled his car
with gunfire, officials said.
Former Gen. Gustavo Alvarez Martinez
died of gunshot wounds near his home in
the capital’s Florencia district, said
Salvador Lobo, director of emergencies at
the State Hospital School.
Radio America, a local station, said
anonymous callers claimed responsibility
on behalf of the Popular Liberation
Forces, a leftist group, but police said they
had no evidence to confirm the claim.
It was the third assassination in Hon-
duras in the last three weeks. The previous
killings involved a Nicaraguan rebel com-
mander and a reputed drug lord’s lawyer.
As head of the national police in 1981,
Alvarez became the force behind the con-
tras by telling U.S. Director of Central In-
telligence William Casey that anti-
Sandinista forces could operate from Hon-
duran territory.

Bundy confesses
Seattle
(AP) Despite his tears, executed killer Ted
Bundy remained cold-blooded and
manipulative to the last as he dribbled out
information on his victims in hopes of
delaying his execution, an investigator said
Wednesday
Robert Keppel, a state attorney
general’s investigator who tracked Bundy
for nearly 15 years, said he believes Bundy
may have killed more than 100 girls and
women.
The FBI said it still was analyzing the
confessions given to a parade of law en-
forcement officers Bundy invited to the
Florida State Prison beginning late last
week.
“The whole thing was orchestrated from
the very beginnning,”’ Keppel said of the
confessions, in which he participated. He
dismissed as phony Bundy’s final interview
putting some of the blame for his activities
on pornagraphy.
“Pornography is maybe one-one-
thousandths of the whole problem he
had,’’Keppel said, adding the interview
with James Dobson, a religious broad-
caster and psychologist, ‘‘was totally self-
serving.”
Female elected
Boston
(AP) The Rev. Barbara C. Harris, elected
the first female bishop in the 2,000-year
tradition of apostolic succession, said
Wednesday that she sees her mission as
mainly religious and not political.
“I do not intend to be an international
Anglican gadfly, moving around to pro-
mote ordination of women, but I will be as
supportive as possible,’’ she said at a news
conference the day after the Episcopal
Church approved her election following a
long and sometimes bitter debate.
Harris was joined at the news con-
ference by Bishop David E. Johnson of
Boston, her new boss, who sounded a note
of conciliation.
“It is a time for reception, a time for in-
viting,’’he said.
Harris, who is black, said she believed
that an element of prejudice lurked in
some of the criticism of her background
Land qualifications to be a bishop.
The State
Acquittal predicted
New York
(AP) A lawyer for Joel Steinberg predicted
Wednesday that the stalled jury in the
murder suspect’s case will disregard the
judge and consider lesser homicide charges
without deciding the murder charge.
The jurors indicated Tuesday that they
were divided sharply when they asked the
judge whether they could move to the
lesser homicide counts against Steinberg if
they were not unanimous on the top count,
second-degree murder.
State Supreme Court Justice Harold
Rothwax told the six men and six women,
as he had just before they got the case
Monday, that they must acquit Steinberg
unanimously of murdering Lisa Steinberg,
6, before moving down to first-degree
manslaughter, second-degree
manslaughter and criminally negligent
homicide.
Defense lawyer Ira London said the
questions the jurors asked Tuesday and the
length of their deliberations had made him
“‘guardedly optimistic’? about Steinberg
being acquitted on the murder charge.

Wednesday.
The 12-page agreement specifies Drexel
not only will dismiss Milken, who is con-
sidered largely responsible for the firm’s
rapid rise to prominence in the 1980s, but
it also will withhold most of the expected

that is due to him.

Tomb serves stars
New York
(AP) A 5,000-year-old Irish tomb has
yielded new evidence that it provided a
dramatic light show at sunrise of the
winter solstice, making it the oldest known
structure with an astronomical function, a
researcher says.
The new work gives the strongest argu-
ment yet that astronomy influenced its
design, an idea suggested by previous
research, said astronomer Tom Ray of the
Dublin Institue for Advanced Studies.
The tomb, built centuries before
Stonehenge or the Great Pyramids, was
probably designed to use sunlight for ritual
rather than scientific purposes, Ray said in
a recent interview.
His research used surveying instruments
to determine the path of ancient sunlight in
the Newgrange tomb, which is north of
Dublin.

Fire safety meeting sets rules
False alarm perpetrators warned of penalties
By Raffi Varoujian
STAFF WRITER
Asa part of an ongoing university
crackdown on the number of fire
safety incidents last semester, the
Albany Fire Department, University
Police Department, Department of
Environmental Health and Safety,
and the Resident Directors of Indian
Quad held a safety awareness
meeting on Thursday night.
The meeting, in the Indian Quad
skinroom, was mandatory for
residents of Mahican and Seneca
halls, the two halls hardest hit by
false alarms on Indian Quad.
Assistant Chief Hummel of the
Albany Fire Department, expressed
his concern and frustration at the in-
ordinate number of false alarms last
semester. Hummel stressed that
there were many occasions where
equipment was needed somewhere
else, but was tied up by a false alarm
at one of the residence halls.
“The fire department must treat
every alarm as a real fire. If an acci-
dent occurs involving our trucks on
the way to this campus in response to
a false alarm, the individual(s)
responsible will be held liable, not
only for tampering with fire equip-
ment, but also for any injury caused
by the accident,”’ Hummel said.
Vincent Franconere, Director of
Environmental Health and Safety, in
regard to the new university Policy
against students who tamper with
fire safety equipment, said the
university will arrest anyone caught
tampering with, and/or damaging
equipment. f f
“This hard line stance is being
directed at what I am sure is a small
minority of offenders. As mature
adults, these individuals will be held
completely responsible for their ac-
tions. Violators will not only be
referred to the university judicial
system, but will also face charges of
criminal nuisance. No excuses will be
tolerated,” Franconere said, adding
that since this policy has been in ef-
fect, false alarms have declined
significantly across the campus.
Franconere also voiced his con-
cerns about student reactions to the
number of incidents. Typical reac-
tions include “I hate this quad,”’ and
venting the frustrations at ‘‘the
stupid fire department.’”
“The number of false fire alarms
tends to desensitize students to the
seriousness of the issue. Instead of
evacuating the building, some of the
residents try to hide. You are jeopar-
dizing your life by staying indoors.
You, like the Fire Department, must
treat every alarm like a real fire,’
Franconere said.
Bryan Moody, Resident Director
on Indian Quad, attributed some of
the cases of sleeping through alarms
to students having too much to
drink, ‘In which case, it is the
responsibility of their suitemates to
get them outside.”’
According to Public Safety
Department Assistant Director,
John Henighan, eight people have
been arrested for fire safety viola-
tions since last semester.
“False fire alarms are the only
crime for which UPD will arrest.
There are now eight. people out
there, who, if convicted, can forget
about a professional career. In ef-
fect, they’ve ruined their futures,”
Henighan said. ‘For the people who
live here, it’s your situation and your
environment that’s being jeopardiz-
ed, so you are the ones who have to
help solve the problem.”
Franconere went on to discuss
plans to install new alarms in the In-
dian Quad tower, and change those
in the low-rises from a steady tone to
a pulsating tone. ‘The alarm cur-
tently installed meets all fire safety
codes, but they were not designed to
act 100 times a year. The new alarms

SUNYA University
Council meets
,By lan Wagreich
NEWS EDITOR
At the first 1989 meeting of the SUNYA University
Council last night, Alan V. Islin, Council Chair, called
for a “‘proactive” instead of “reactive” change for the
body.
“Our priority is with student concerns,”’ Islin explain-
ed about the ten voting member body appointed by the
Governor and delegated to oversee policy on this
campus.
Some SUNYA officials hold positions on the Council
including University President Vincent O’Leary. Most
yoting members are prominent local citizens. Islin is
Senior Advisor to Cowen Asset Management.
“We've been underutilized,” Islin said. Now the
“budget restraints require us to be more involved.”
The Council is involved in student affairs and cannot
issue policy on academic issues, according to Islin. That
is for University Senate.
Outlined are the major topics covered in the two hour
meeting:
Member Lewis Swyer, who died recently, was
remembered in a moment of silence and a resolution was
passed in his honor.
Pending adoption by State Trustees for a code of
conduct for ethics in government, temporary guidelines
were passed.
> President O’Leary reported to the Council the fin-
dings of the committee on Racial Concerns Across the
Campus and praised students’ efforts to deal with diver-
sity on campus.
The heightened instances of false fire alarms on the
quads were discussed and Council members were made
aware of the issue.
O'Leary spoke about the Governor’s proposed
budget cuts and described the climate as “‘murky’’.
John Hartigan, Vice President for Finance and
Business announced plans to raise parking tickets from
$5.00 to $10.00 and other rates within the parking viola-
tions systems. SUNYA would be one of the last SUNY
campuses to do so.
®The Council’s intentions to seek a capital campaign
plan to be completed by 1994 were announced.
The issue of campus safety and date rape was raised
and ways these could be addressed were discussed.
®The Council agreed to name the Freedom Quad|.
roadway loop after Jose Marti, a Cuban poet and
patriot of the late nineteenth century.
Islin asked for a look into the graduate research in-
itiative, an issue that may gain $5 million for Cuomo’s
proposed budget.
The next meeting was scheduled for March 23. Islin
urged students to attend. n

Party cancelled
Because of difficulties acquiring a
24-hour liquor license, a hall party ten-
tatively planned for last night by all of
SUNYA’s fraternities and sororities
never became reality.
According to Pan Hellenic Association
President Lisa Geller, the New York
State Liquor Authority (NYSLA) would
not grant the Inter Fraternity Council the
alcohol permit until it was too late to
throw the party, although it could have
been held without alcoholic beverages.
“{ don’t care how much pity the
school has (for the Greeks’ problems
with the NYSLA) but the whole success
of the party was contingent on alcohol,”
said Geller. “‘There was not enough time
for publicity or to get our money back
form Labor Temple Hall (in case of a
cancellation).””
The NYSLA wanted to make sure that
the IFC would provide free buses, bond-
ed security,strict proofing for 21, and
that the police would be informed. “‘If
we fulfilled all of those requirements,
and we were denied, then we have the
basis for a case against the NYSLA,”
concluded Geller.
Nominations open
Nominations for the Student Associa-
tion by-elections will close on February 3.
Five Central Council seats are open:
three for off-campus, one for State
Quad, and one for Freedom Quad Coun-
cil seat. One Student Association of the

If we have these nice lawns, people
should not be parking on them, Williams

SA audit finally released
By lan Wagreich
NEWS EDITOR
The Student Association Central Council met for an active five and a half hours on
State Quad Wednesday night as part of council’s ‘‘council on tour.””
The impeachment of Steve Duell and the release of the SA audit, a long awaited event
in the SA offices were events requiring much of council’s time.
Duell, an off-campus representative, was impeached after it was established that he
missed four and one-half meetings. The most a council member can miss is four.
SA’s finances from last year were audited earlier last year.
The report showed SA will surplus of about $51,000, according to Alan Rafterman,
SA controller.
This surplus, Rafterman explained, provides a ‘‘cushion” for SA sponsored events.
Rafterman emphasized that this does not give SA funded groups justification for ex-
cessive spending requests.
The audit was adjusted to take into consideration past SA bills that had not been paid.
“J got a bill for $20,000 from Campus Life that was past due,’’ Rafterman said. “We
had to adjust the past audits to take those kinds of things into consideration.”
Rafterman said that SA was neither in good condition nor bad, but some areas did
need improvement.
Arlette Slachmuylder, Student Association of the State University (SASU) president,
spoke at the meeting and showed deep concern for the ramifications for the SUNY
system if Governor Cuomo’s proposed $47 million budget cut came to pass.
She described the cuts as “‘traditional Cuomo tricks.”
Slachmuylder explained that the estimated ‘‘real’”? amount of the cut would be ‘‘more
like $72 million. That’s a little more than what 12 campuses get.””
“‘We’re very seriously overenrolled,’’ Slachmuylder said. ‘‘We have 7000 more
students than we have the money for.”
au will be holding a “‘Save SUNY day” in February and encouraged all students to
attend.
Other topics, on the council agenda included upcoming events for February, including
! Black History Month, Winterfest, and the Safety Teleconference.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1989 () ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 5
Legislature to debate on decreasing sex crimes
By Guillermo A. Martinez
Due to the surfacing topic of
date rape in publication
periodically throughout the coun-
try, the nature of the crime and
studies which alert to the alarm-
ing frequency of its occurance has
prompted University officials and
state law makers to take action in
order to better protect and inform
the campus community.
At the New York State
Legislature, bills have been in-
troduced in both houses which
would ensure the existence and
enforcement of sexual assault
policies at New York’s colleges
and universities.
Thursday, Feb. 2, a national
video teleconference seminar on
acquaintance-date rape preven-
tion will be held at SUNYA,
sponsored by SUNY central. The
seminar will be held at 10 other
colleges and universities in the
SUNY system.
Both the proposed legislation
and the seminar focus on inform-
ing the campus community on the
problem of sexual assault as a
strategy in decreasing the high in-
cident rate.
A spokesman for state Senator
Kenneth Lavalle, sponsor of the;
legislation, said, ‘All academic
institutions have a legal and
moral responsibility to protect the
Dees
safety of members of their
academic communities. These in-
stitutions need to develop,
publicize and enforce clear and
consistent policies to educate and
protect students from these
crimes.”
The legislation, senate bill 498,
would require colleges and
universities to “‘instruct students
about rape statistics and penalties
and penalties at mandatory stu-
dent orientations and seminars
and over again.”
Lavalle’s office cited a recent
national survey of 6200 male and
female students on 32 campuses
and universities which revealed
that one in four women have been
a victim of rape or attempted rape
and that 95 percent of them did
not report the incident to the
police.
Eighty-five percent of the in-
cidents occurred among students
who knew one another, the
very great concern about student
safety. A great many things are
going in part of educating on the
issue.’”
Commenting on the legislation,
Martin proposed ‘‘sometimes the
intent is one we all share but
specifics have to be ironed out.”
Martin was referring to specific
provisions in the bill which held
it, in the Assembly Higher Educa-
tion Committee, last session from
‘All academic institutions have a legal and moral
responsibility to protect the safety of members of their -
academic communities,’’
—- a spokesman for state Senator Kenneth Lavalle
conducted at dormitory
residences and Fraternity and
Sorority organizations.
“Tt is vital that we instill in our
young people a sense of mutual
respect. One who commits an act
such as date rape, most often does
not even believe they have com-
mitted a crime,’”’ said the
spokesman adding, ‘‘consequent-
ly, if it goes unreported this per-
son is likely to comit this act over
spokesman said.
Dr. James Ruhl, SUNY
associate vice chancellor for
government relations, said he
preferred to have campuses set
their own policies and manage-
ment of the issue, as have SUNY
Albany and SUNY Buffalo.
Sandy Martin, from the Office
of Government Relations at
SUNY Central, said, ‘‘there is
reaching the floor for a vote.
Linda Miller, from the
Assembly Higher Education
Committee, said “It is an impor-
tant issue and we will be looking
at it.’’ She said that it was early in
the session and that the bill had
not come up before the
committee.
Asspokesman for Lavalle said it
was not so much a problem in
negotiations, but rather that,
“negotiations were going on late
in the session and time ran out.”
Mitchell Livingston, Vice Presi-
dent for Student Affairs at
SUNYA, is presently sitting on a
National Committee which will
come out with recommendations
on minimal standards for safety
on the nation’s campuses.
“Tt would include reporting
procedures on incidents of date
rape.’”’ Livingston said. ‘‘Most
colleges do not report that type of
crime.” He said that out of 2100
four year schools nationwide, on-
ly 300 reported such incidents.
Commenting on the acquain-
tance/date rape seminar, Liv-
ingston said,‘‘It is an awareness
program to make students, staff
and faculty aware of the
dynamics of date rape and the
particular phenomena of public
safety.’””
Regarding the statistics of
crime on campus, Jim Williams
of SUNYA Public Safety said
that all incidents were reported to
the FBI, as procedure dictates,
and the figures were published
and are located in the University
library.
Of about 300 New York State
schools, SUNYA does report and
publish crime statistics, as do
other SUNY schools according to
Williams. oO

findings, as many as 150 students on this
campus might be expected to use a
weapon against someone they are dating
in a given year.
What kinds of students are most
yulnerable to ending up in a violent
dating relationship? Students just like
you who find themselves in a relatively
serious, long term relationship, who may
live together. Generally they say they are
in love with the other person and really
care about them; typically have a sexual
relationship with one another. And it is
not just males who engage in dating
violence — women are also violent,
although it is not known how often they
initiate the violence versus retaliate
violently or use violence to protect
themselves. Most victims and
perpetrators are embarrassed about their
role in the violence and know deep down
that it’s not a good thing. But this very
embarrassment may prevent them from
obtaining help to end the violence, which
usually means telling someone else. Many
victims don’t even tell their best friends.
Why would a couple who care about
one another hurt each other this way?
Some don’t view violence as deviant in a
loving relationship, because they saw or
experienced such behavior when they
were growing up. Slapping others and ex-
ploding violently are considered normal.
Other people have never experienced
the kind of intensity they have found in
this important love relationship, and the
belief develops that they could not func-
tion without the partner. An unhealthy
degree of dependency has developed and
the person feels so desperate to maintain
the relationship that they will do
anything to keep the other partner.
Still others are under tremendous stress
from a variety of sources, and take it out
on their loved one. Others get extremely
jealous of their partner and have very
unrealistic expectations about
relationships.
But regardless of the kind of people in-
volved, or what their particular issues
are, what many of these incidents have in
common is that one or both partners
have consumed alcohol or drugs in large
amounts prior to or during the conflict.
Being intoxicated quickly helps move
things from bad to worse by enabling
people to say and-or do things that they
might not otherwise. There is no way
alcohol can help in an argument.
There are numerous possible conse-
quences of being in a violent dating rela-
tionship from social, to academic, and
legal that are worth considering. For one
thing, we have learned that over time,
violence tends to escalate rather than go
away, so if you don’t do something
significant about it when it first happens
you can assumeit could get worse. Which
also means that one or both of you could
be injured, seriously, especially if
weapons are involved. Since the behavior
we are talking about is assault, a crime,
irrespective of the relationship between
the perpetrator and victim, arrest is
another possible consequence.
Other negatives that participants
report include academic problems, as
their primary focus gradually shifts from
school to a dangerous relationship.
Social problems may also occur; once
violence has become part or a regular
pattern in a relationship, it is pretty hard
to keep a secret. It makes others uncom-
fortable. Initially they may want to help,
but not know how or be ambivalent
about how to go about it.
But eventually, other people get
frustrated and give up, leaving the par-
ticipants socially isolated at a time when
they perhaps most need others.
Substance abuse may occur or increase as
the participants attempt to medicate their

emotional symptoms. This couple may
even go on to marry one another, and
have children; we now know that in many
cases marital violence began as
premarital violence.
What can you do if you are in such a
relationship now, or fear that it will
become violent? What about if you have
a friend who is so involved? The first
thing is to recognize that you are not
alone but you do not have to continue be-
ing a victim or being violent. Help is
available at several places on campus. If
you are living in a residence hall, most
RAs and Directors have received infor-
mation and training on dating violence
and are prepared to ialk with you and
refer you to the most appropriate place
on campus to get help, which might well

Earth (5777), with student peer helpers aS

be seen individually, as part of a group of

O’Leary to chair committee
on future of Albany schools
By Josh Mandell
In addition to his on-campus respon-
sibilities, SUNYA President Vincent
O’Leary has decided to bring his abilities
to the surrounding community as well.
O’Leary, who has been a member of the
City of Albany’s Strategic Planning Group
since 1985, was recently appointed by the
Albany City School Board to be the chair-
man of the district’s 25-member strategic
planning committee.
According to O’Leary, the purpose of
the committee is ‘‘to examine the Albany
(public) school system, where they are to-
day, where they could ideally be in ten
years, and how to get there.”’ He added,
“I’ve worked with the Albany School
Board in the past and have also done
strategic planning, but not (at the same
time).””
Sheila Mahan, Assistant to the Presi-
dent, noted that the committee, which has
already met once and will continue to meet
through October, is representative of a
wide range of community interests, in-
cluding parents, teachers,
businessmen, as we:l as representatives
from state and loc“! agencies.
Albany Board of Education Vice-
President Terrance Christenson, one of
several board trustees who conceived the
idea for the committee about a year ago,
commented, “‘We’d seen that the city plan
had been put into place and the concept (of
long range planning) was becoming in-
creasingly popular in business and
elsewhere.’”
In selecting a chairman for this
prestigious committee, Christenson said
that the Board ‘‘was looking for someone
who was beyond reproach, and who would
have the integrity to lead such a group ina

and
Christenson said the Board found so-
meone that ‘‘fit the bill’ in O’Leary.
“He’s a hard working dedicated person
who, when he takes on a project, has a
keen interest in following it through to its
conclusion.”
Citing the President’s leadership ability,
Christenson concluded, ‘‘He was our first
choice and the only person who was of-
fered the position.’”
“T’m proud to be involved with such a
distinguished panel,’”’ said O’Leary, who
recently appointed Sara Sibley, the wife of
New York Lieutenant Governor Stan
Ludine, to be the executive director of the
committee.
Asked how this additional obligation
will effect his work at the university,
O'Leary responded, “‘It hasn’t had much
impact thus far. I have very high time com-
mitments at the university as it is. I’ll just
have to work a little later.”” o

PAC is not so very stuffy
By Cheryl Moore
Combining the grace of 18th century music with the humor and adventure of a musical
Piece of story-telling, SUNYA will bring a faculty showcase concert to the Perfofming
Arts Center Saturday night.
Entitled “‘Two Centuries of Music for Voice and String,”’ audience members will ex-
perience the talents of SUNYA’s Anne Turner and Jeffrey Herchenroder.
The two will join together in ‘‘Two Jazz Songs’? of British composer Betty Roe and
“The Ugly Duckling,” from the Hans Christian Anderson story, credited to New York
composer Jon Deak. Anne Turner, a soprano, said the Ugly Duckling piece displays ‘‘a
full range of dramatic abilities. The soprano impersonates, via a combination of singing
and narration, all of the colorful characters in the story, and the bassist personifies the
beleaguered duckling in a virtuistic, yet poignant manner.”
Turner also pointed out that ‘‘this piece is captivating for children as well as adults.””
The program also provides selections from Handel’s ‘‘Nine German Arias.’’ There
will be members of the Saratoga Chamber Players Lucy Joseph and Janet Rowe, violins
and Susan St. Amour, viola.
Turner finds this program to be ‘‘an excellent addition to weekend activities on cam-'
pus. Ina short one-and-a-half hours or so, students will be both enriched and entertain-
ed.” She added that audience members should be sure to come early and purchase their
tickets at the box office. The are $6 for adults and $3 for students and senior citizens.
Turner said, ‘‘So many people expect concerts to be ‘stuffy affairs,’ but they certainly
don’t have to be.”

legislatures ponder budgets and
campus officials figure out how
much they need to charge
students.
The trend, however, is
undeniably upward.
Initial proposals would have
students at the 13 University of
Wisconsin campuses paying
11-to-12 percent more next year.
Loyola University of New
Orleans officials are considering
raising tuition by as much as 18
percent next fall.
“It is fair to say that there will
be a raise in the tuition rate for
fall ’89,” said Dr. Maurice

finance and planning at George

Colleges get the money they
need to operate from cash gifts,
earnings on their stock port-

most importantly, from the
federal government and
students in the form of tuition
and state legislatures.
When legislatures don’t ap-
propriate enough money, cam-
puses normally turn to students
to try to make up the difference.
“State appropriations have
been okay in the last few years,”
the ACE’s Hauptman sug-
gested, and public colleges con-
sequently haven’t had to impose
the 9 or 10 percent increases
common in the early 1980s.

percent more in tuition next fall,
he added.
Even relatively healthy
economies such as those in New
York, California and
Massachusetts are suffering
from tax revenue shortfalls and
have less to appropriate to their
colleges.
“One quick way of closing
those shortfalls is to raise tui-
tion,’’? Hauptman said.
George Mason’s Scherrens
added campuses need more
money, too, to pay faculty
members as much as they could
make in private industry, to add
staff and to build and maintain
their structures, George Mason,
for one, is trying to finance a
new science building, a new
dorm and a new student union.
Students, naturally, are not
thrilled by the prospect of
higher tuition.
“T’ll have to get a higher pay-
ing job,’”’ said University of
Arizona junior Karen Bonz.
“It’s really hard unless you’ve
got a silver spoon or
something.”
If Loyola of New Orleans ac-
tually imposes an 18 percent
hike, it’ll drive everyone except
“the rich, stupid kids who can’t
get in anywhere else”? off cam-
pus, student government
representative Tara Loomis
warns.
“‘The tuition increases,
especially this year, are

Survey may help
racial problems
By Chris Albano
Last semester there were incidents of racial harass-
ment aimed at blacks and others in the form of graffiti.
The Student Association (SA) Affirmative Action Of-
ficers concerned themselves about incidents like these as
they pose problems for our SUNYA minority students
and university unity.
In an effort to deal with the issue, the Affirmative Ac-
tion Office plans to distribute a survey to minority
students sometime next week.
The survey will be comprehensive in scope, inquiring
about problems of harassment and discrimination
because of race, color, sex, religion or national origin,
with particular regard to housing, employment,
academics and other areas of discrimination on campus
and in the surrouding community.
The survey was put together by Affirmative Action
Officer Lesley Massiah. The purpose of the survey, she
said, is to gather a collection of data to work from. As
'Massiah explained, “‘in order to deal with the problem,
‘we must know where the problem lies.”’
“The survey will pinpoint these problems.” In addi-
tion Massiah and her colleagues hope the survey will
make people aware of their existence so victims can seek
help.
Generally, Massiah said, victims of racial harassment
ido not seek help. Massiah explained, ‘“‘If you make
them fearful through harassment, they will either accept
it or flee.””
She said the survey may be effective because it has an
“air of anonymity.’’ Respondents do not have to reveal
their names on the survey.
Many incidents of racial and sexual harassment go
unreported, keeping problems from surfacing, Massiah
said. She said the Affirmative Action Office urges vic-
tims to bring such incidents to the office’s attention. 0

University officials are consider-
ing Mario Cuomo’s recommenda-
tions to move the Empire State
Youth Theater Institute (ESYTI) to
the SUNYA campus as the pro-
gram’s annual budget is retained by
the University even though the
theater is actually part of the Perfor-
ming Arts Center at the Egg.
Cuomo’s suggestions are included
in the State University section of the
proposed executive budget plan for
1989-90.

“‘We were not aware that we were

, O'Leary said, adding that he is un- |
sure of the full implications of the
move and how the campus would
house ESYTI.
According to a spokesperson for
the Division of the Budget, the 1988
operation of the program cost
$1,878,500. An allocation of
testing during 1989.

Plans to move to SUNYA catch officials off guard

O’Leary said that he has informed
Patricia Snyder, the Executive Direc-
tor of both the Empire State In-
stitute for the Performing Arts and
the youth theater, that the amount
will be switched over and that she is
“mildly interested.”’ Snyder is a
former SUNYA faculty member and
the originator of the group’s beginn-
ings on campus.
No final decision is expected until
the budget is approved by the state
legislature and Cuomo. |

Cut Now, Bleed
Later
It’s getting hard to believe Governor
Mario Cuomo when he says he wants to see
the SUNY system continue to offer the
students of New York a low-cost, quality
education.
With his 1989—90 budget, Cuomo
proposed slashing $47 million from the
SUNY system to alleviate a projected $2.3
billion deficit. These cuts follow a year of
severe cutbacks to SUNY totalling well over
$20 million.
Where does this leave the SUNY system?
Several top administrators are admitting
that the future looks bleak, as the
elimination of 650 positions statewide has
already been announced. The curtailing of
several major programs and services is sure
to follow. And a tuition increase will
always remain a definite possibility.
Once these cuts are filtered down,
individual campuses will suffer. With
faculty cuts comes course cancellations and
overcrowded classrooms. Naturally, the
overall quality of education declines. The
reputations of the SUNY schools will suffer
immeasurably, and the whole system would
be reduced to low-cost schools of lackluster
quality and reputation.
There are a few alternatives that can
alleviate this. vision of doom. The..most|~
discouraging is an increase in the cost of
tuition. Although some argue that the
students should not have to pay more for
less, a slight tuition hike would bring in
more revenue, and some of the positions
earmarked for elimination could be
preserved. Of course, only a slight hike.
could even be considered, because a drastic
increase would remove the “‘low-cost’’
from the low cost, quality education catch-
phrase that defines the SUNY system.
Cuomo has stated time and time again
that he would never support tuition hikes,
and therefore obviously prioritizes the cost
of education over its quality. However,
Cuomo should learn to never say never, as
the quality and cost of the education go
hand in hand when students choose a
college.
Thankfully, tuition increases are not the
only alternative. In fact, they should be
used only as a last resort, and only with
extreme moderation. The real answer lies
with the legislature, whose job it will be in
the coming months to determine the
financial fate of SUNY. The legislature
must responsibly evaluate the impact these
cuts will have on the future of public higher
education in this state. Hopefully, they will
be more realistic than Cuomo, who must
think little of SUNY to give it such low
priority. ;
Prioritizing cost over quality should not
be the main concern of the Governor and
the legislafure. Rather, they should focus
their attentions on the importance of
SUNY to the future of New York state. |
And once they get their priorities straight,
they can only realize that they have to
reduce the cuts to SUNY or risk ruining it
forever.

Diplomatic trade for Rights
In June of 1988, The American-Arab Anti-
Discrimination Committee petitioned the U.S. trade
Tepresentative at the White House to deny Israel preferen-
tial trade status onthe grounds,.that, Israel effectively, ;
denies Palestinian’ workers under. its authority; (1)rthe +
right of association in trade unions of their choice, (2) the
right to organize and bargain collectively, (3)acceptable
conditions of work with respect to minimum wages,
hours of work and occupational health and safety, as well
as (4) refusing to enforce prohibitions against the
employment of children.
Amy Trabka
Representative Clayton Yeutter announced that the
United States will review Israel’s duty-free status which
allowed for the export of 487 million dollars in duty-free
goods in 1987,(Washington Times), The Generalized
System of Preference (GSP), is a program of tariff
preferences granted by the U.S. to developing countries
to contribute to their economic growth. Countries who
qualify for preferential status must comply with U.S.
regulations including internationally recognized protec-
tion of workers rights. Section 502 (b) (8) of the Trade
and Tariff Act of 1984 and section 213 (A) of the overseas
Private Investment Corporation Amendment Act of 1985
prohibits the extension of preferential trade status to any
country ‘‘if such country has not taken or is not taking
steps to afford internationally recognized worker’s rights
to workers in the country”. Congress has undertaken an
investigation of Palestinian workers rights in Israel and
the Occupied Territories. Public hearings are currently
being held.
Cited violations include the closure of union head-
quarters and the banning of union meetings. Authorities
frequently ban individual meetings and impose closure
orders on meeting halls when union meetings are schedul-
ed. The army breaks into union meetings, arrests leaders
and detains them without charge. Since the uprising at
least 23 union centers have been closed for two years by
military orders. Branches of the Gaza Federation of
Trade Unions have not been permitted to open, hold
meetings, hold elections or solicit new members since
1967.
In the West Bank, the Israeli authorities have refused
to register many newly organized trade unions. The army
also raids union offices (with neither warrant nor the’
allegation of the occurrence of an offense) destroying
property and seizing membership lists and lawfully
published pamphlets of workers rights.
Trade Union activists are routinely subject to house ar-
rest, administrative detention, harassment, and intimida-
tion. As with all administrative detainees, trade unionists
are held without charge and without the right to trial.
Military authorities have prohibited unionists from
educating workers of union rights from referring workers
to lawyers in cases involving labor disputes or from
soliciting blood for persons injured at work, threatening
Yn As of, 9-22-88 at least seven were aw :
orders.
deportation for violation of these prohibitions. Trade
unionists have been threatened with and actually expelled
from the Occupied Territories for thier trade union activi-
While legally registered workers from the Occupied
Territories who work in Israel are required to pay one
percent of their wages in dues to the Israeli labor union,
the Histradut, the West Bank and Gaza workers are
denied the right to become members of the union or to
vote in the elections for local worker councils or the
Histradut executive council. Despite receiving dues
payments from these workers, the Histradut does not
provide them with services.
Under Israeli law, Palestinian workers may not be con-
sidered ‘“‘permanent’” employees despite the length of
their continuous service with an employer and are
therefore denied seniority security, seniority pay in-
creases, sick and vacation days. A Palestinian worker,
therefore, receives 25 percent to 30 percent less than an
Israeli worker in wages and benefits for the same work.
Approximately 20 percent of the gross wages of residents
of the Occupied Territories legally registered as employed
within Israel are deducted for the ‘‘deduction fund”’, a
sum equivalent to that intended to cover the insurances
provided to Israeli workers. However Palestinians from
the Occupied Territories are not entitled to draw such
benefits which are available to Israeli settlers in the West
Bank and Gaza whether they work in Israel or the Oc-
cupied Territories. These benefits include payments for
old age, widowhood, dependent children, survivors,
disability and unemployment.
The Israeli budget for the Occupied Territories allots
an average wage for Palestinian civil administration
workers at approximately two fifths the rate allocated for
Israeli civil administration workers. And finally, an
estimated twenty percent of the Palestinian workers per-
forming agricultural work inside of Israel are between 11
and 15 years of age, some as young as eight years old.
The estimated 120,000 workers from the West Bank
and Gaza who daily cross the post-1948 ‘Green Line’”’ to
work in Israel are not permitted to remain there overnight
without special sleeping permits. Approximately 20 per-
cent of them do so none-the-less. These workers regularly
stay locked within the facilities of their employers
without proper beds, adequate sanitary facilities, kitchens
or ventilation. The most tragic consequence of these
restrictions was the murder of three Palestinian workers
burned to death in a locked shack in a Tel Aviv suburb
this summer.
The military authorities are apprehensive of any form
of organizational activity by Palestinians and are detef-
mined to prevent the formation of any alternative in-
frastructure to the Israeli civil administration that could
become the basis for an independent Palestinian state.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee has
documented the above violations and is presenting live
testimony and affidavits to the 1988 Review Board.
the Dead
odney Amadeus Anonymous of
The Dead Milkmen is sure that
most people get rock-n-roll wrong.
As he theorizes, rock-n-roll didn’t derive
from “two old guys playing bottleneck
guitar in Louisiana,” but can rather be trac-
ed to a labratory in Vienna.
Stef McDonald
Why? Consider the following.
“There are some neat things in physics
that apply to rock-n-roll. There's the uncer-
tainty principle, which is that by observing
molecules in action you have to put light
on them to see them”, Anonymous theoriz-
ed, “Okay. Now the uncertainty principle
says, ‘Well how do we know that light
doesn't affect the way that they're moving
or just of viewing them we're not affecting
the way they move?’ That's the uncertainty
priciple — you can never be sure about
anything.
“And my theory that applies to music is
that once you realize that there are people
who are going to be listening to what you
do, that may or may not affect what you
do — with your songwriting and all that.
That's kind of how physics applies to
music.”
‘An interesting theory by just about any
standard, it’s no wonder. The Dead
Milkmen — Anonymous, Jasper Thread,
Lord Maniac and Dean Clean — are, to
play it safe, an interesting band. Beelzebub-
ba, named such because the Milkmen
predict that devil worship will be the next
“big thing,” is the fourth album in a collec-
tion that contains Big Lizard in My
Backyard, Eat Your Paisley and Bucky
Fellini. The 17 songs maintain the band’s
reputation for being loud, socio-critical,
dynamic, rhapsodic, novel
and...interesting. Some find the
Milkmen uncontrollably funny, others, in-
excusably obnoxious. Anonymous is con-
fortable with either.
Special delivery from
Milkmen
“I would never want to be in a band that
people accepted as being a really good
band,” Anonymous said. “I like being in a
band where there’s some debate, you
know, where they go, ‘God these guys are
really good,’ and the other people go,
‘God, I wish these guys would STOP
PLAYING.’ ”
The latter is a wish the Milkmen are
not likely to honor. The band’s last record
contained the dance club hit “You'll Dance
to Anything” and “Punk Rock Girl” from
Beelzebubba looks to be just as successful.
“My favorite song on the record is
‘Ringo Buys a Rifle,” Anonymous said. “T
mean | have a lot of favorites. When you
ask every band what their favorite album
is, they always go, ‘ well our new album I
think is our best,’ you know because they
want to sell it, but I actually do think that,
and I didn’t say that about the last album.”
“Ringo Buys a Rifle” is as Anonymous
explained, “about universal peace coming
about” based on a story about Paul Mc-
Cartney dubbing Ringo Starr’s drum parts
and in anger, Starr showing up at McCart-
ney’s door with a rifle. “I thought that was
really mean of Paul McCartney to do that,”
Anonymous said. “So | figured, well, Il
write a song for the guy.”
“| think that some how people market us
as being ‘cute’ and that's the sort of thing
that makes me nauseaus,” Anonymous of-
ferred, “On whether we're funny or not —
I don't think we're funny. I think a lot of
our songs are heavy tragedy. It’s only
dawned on me in the past year or so how
really sad some of this stuff is. Tons of stuff
off the new album is really, really sad.”
Sad as in a subject like wifebeating, the
focus of “RC’s Mom,” a James Brown
parody, heavy on the funk side (named
“RC’s Mom” as a plug for the Royal Cres-
cent Mob).
More outrageous is “Sri Lanka Sex
Hotel,” a stab at the over use of topics like
“On whether we're funny or not — I don’t think
we're funny...
“sex” and “death” in most underground
music — “about those things taken to the
nth degree” according to Anonymous. It
begins, “Let's have sex with strangers in the
men’s room we can do it and not get
caught.”
“My Many Smells’ confesses,
“Sometimes I smell just like the bathroom/
-after Grandma's used it and she's been
eating prunes” and the song's finale im-
plores, “Smell me, smell me...” “Bleach
Boys” is an ebullient tale of guys drinking
bleach in the same manner that most con-
sume alcohol. “Some people drive fast
others love to bet still others/ snort coke in
a private jet but drinking bleach is my way
of winning.”
Ironically the first
single from
Beelzebubba, “Punk Rock Girl” is what
might be considered the most tame of the
seventeen cuts.
“If 1 offend anybody on the one hand
I'm sorry I did and on the other hand a part
of me is kind of glad,” Anonymous said.
“In the back of my mind I think it’s kind
of funny all these people that may have
bought the album because of ‘Punk Rock
Girl’ expecting the album to be all these
good funny songs and they get an earful of
‘Sri Lanka Sex Hotel’ and songs about
decapitation {’Stuart’] and stuff. It’s
almost my way of saying ‘Please don’t play
this on FM radio.’ ”
“If you're in a band and you want to be
noticed you have to be willing to make a
fool out of yourself.”
“People always say, ‘Don’t you think the
stuff that you write is unusual?’ And I don’t
think so,” Anonymous said. “I can image a
bunch of kids that for fun drink bleach.
You know, that I can imagine. But when
someone writes a song about some man
and woman meeting and falling in love and
staying together for the rest of their lives,
you know, look at the divorce rate. I think
that’s pretty unusual. I think their sense of
reality is screwed up.”
“Jim and Tammy Bakker are back,”
Anonymous said. “Tammy was crying and
the song was, ‘When he was on the cross, I
was on his mind.’ People always go, ‘God
the stuff you think of is sick’ and I'm think-
ing, ‘No, not compared to that!’ ”
Reality may or may not be more unusual
than what the Milkmen write about, but it
certainly feeds the band with ideas.
“Drew Barrymore — maybe I'll write
something for her. I kinda feel sorry for
her. Maybe I'll make fun of her mom —
maybe that'll make her feel better,”
Rodney planned. “Maybe I'll try to make
. people feel beter by writing songs about
them. Just as long as I don’t write anything
that’s kinda upbeat like, ‘Don’t Worry, Be
Happy.’ That song didn’t make me happy
— it made me worry . . . | used to wake up
in the middle of the night sweating because
of that song.” ig

It's funny how speech patterns and quirks escape notice, especially with
those we spend a lot of time with. It’s also funny (well, not really funny)
how in speech the English language is abused. These past couple of days I
spent lots of time transcribing an interview I taped earlier this month with
someone from a band. Nice guy, nice conversation — it was probably the
best interview I did. But it waslong. He spoke for over an hour, which
wasn’t a concern at the time. But transcribing his words into a notebook was
pretty tedious — all in all most of the conversation spent twenty-five pages.
But the point is: in those twenty-five pages of this guy talking, I picked
up a few of his speech quirks. The worst is one a lot of people are guilty of:
misusing the word “like.”
Contrary to popular slang usage, “like” should not be used to replace the
word “said,” as in “I was like, ‘shut up!’ ” Nor should “like” be used to take
up space in a sentence, as in “I was like going to class and I couldn't like
remember where I was supposed to go.”
I hate when people do that. But I'm a hypocrite because I do the same
thing.
In the process of complaining about how my interview subject misused
the word “like,” it was pointed out that I) too,'am guilty: In fact;'everyone
in my suite misuses the word, particularly my roomate Pam. To combat the
problem, we decided (as corny as it may seem) to charge a nickel for every
misuse of the word “like.” When the total reaches an adequate enough sum,
we plan to indulge in a Pizza Hut spree.
In a span of less than two hours, we reached up $2.00.
“Oh my god! We have like $1.75 in here already,” pointed out my
suitemate Nancy. “Don’t you mean we have “about” $1.75 in there, Nan-
cy?” Make that $1.80.
Actually we're doing pretty well. The “likes” have been heard a lot less,
but with the effort, a “like” anxiety has set in. Even when using the word
correctly, we've come to correct and defend ourselves.
1 like that song — I’m sorry, no! I mean, wait, that was okay, wasn’t it? I
was correct in using it that way, right?” Yes, it’s okay to like a song.
Debbie even corrected herself on the telephone, apologizing for an inap-
propriate “like” to someone who had no idea what she was apologizing for.
We've also slowed down our speech in an effort to catch the “likes”
before they even form in our mouths. “I... said... to him... I um don’t
know ... um what you're... um talking about...” For a sentence without
a misuse of the word, we clap, or as I like to do (since seeing The Acciden-
tal Tourist), | cluck. Encouragement is, of course, important for successful
reform.
On day two of our improvement venture, we all felt pretty good about
what we were doing — this is self-improvement, is it not? But it's come to
our attention that now we seem to be using lots of “ums.”. . .

Midler and Hershey ns aie Ss on the Beach
new movie starring Bette Midler
and Barbara Hershey, as an (ahem)
“serio-comedy musical drama.”
Tracy Zamot
Unfortunately the movie's serious
moments are embarrassingly calculated;
the comedy is half-hearted and inconsis-
tent; the music, though showcasing
Midler’s genuine talent, fails to make the
impact it so obviously strives to; and the
drama of the movie serves as a mere for-
mula to get a hopefully gullible audience
to respond on cue — a veritable emotional
equation. In the end it just doesn’t balance
out.
The movie focuses on the friendship of
two women beginning with their chance
meeting as children on the boardwalk in
Atlantic City in 1957. The two eleven
year olds come from entirely different
backgrounds, having completely different
aspirations. CC Bloom, Midler’s character
(played as a child downright obnoxiously
by Mayim Bialik) is streetwise and brash —
a New Yorker with the dream of becoming
a singing star. Young Hilary Whitney is
refined and proper, a perfect junior
member of San Francisco society.
Their one day meeting begins a lifelong

just got back — been gone so
I long...” And so go the lyrics of
the first Cheap Trick song perform-
ed on their most recent tour. Picking this
song seems to be a clever, almost ironical
statement on the band’s part; Cheap Trick
is a band that reached its peak in the early
80s and then went into a commercial
slump, only to bounce back this summer
with three top ten hits.
Sue Friedman
Yes, Cheap Trick is back after a long
absence, and if the show Tuesday night at
the Palace Theatre is any indication, it
seems that they're determined to stay.
Cheap Trick is a fun live band — they
enjoy performing, and it comes across in
their show. Guitarist Rick Neilsen is a ham
on stage with his five-necked guitar, his in-
teresting stage antics (such as trying to
catch guitar picks in his teeth), and his com-
ments before every song (regarding “The
Flame” the first of their most recent hits:
“Thank You")
This may be the key to their perfor-
mance — simplicity. They kept their show
safe — no cheesy gimicks, (except for a
Cheap Trick has nothing
correspondance, and in their letters the
tone of their friendship is established —
they whine. Well no, that’s not quite ac-
curate, Bette Midler kvetches and Barbara
Hershey laments about the state of the
world in general. Two different styles
with the same effect — totally and com-
pletely overbearing. Had someone sug-
gested early on in the movie that they both
see a shrink, the movie would have been
gratefully over a lot sooner.
And so their life goes on, Hershey
becoming the idealistic (because she can af-
ford to be) sixties lawyer, and Midler
becomes the singing star. Be rest assured
that there’s plenty of the paying-the-dues
scenes. This movie does not leave one
cliche untouched or underused.
The two are reunited because Hershey
becomes disillusioned with her life in San
Francisco, She comes to stay with her old
friend, CC, who at this point is still disillu-
sioned with her life also. Bitch, moan,
bitch, moan, etc... They go through the
typical women-of-the-eighties career vs.

cover, versions, (except for the aforemen-
tioned “Don't Be Cruel” which wasn't half

Trick with ever-present smiles, and a list of
past and present hits to play. Hits like “Sur-
render” and “Dream Police” never sounded
better and even “The Flame”, a slow
ballad, had a favorable rock-like quality to
it. This band simply played their hearts
out, and had a swell time doing so. It’s very
suprising that Cheap Trick chose simplicity
as their formula for a successful live perfor-
mance — most groups rely on elaborate
means while touring, hoping for good
stage presence. For example, the opening
act, House Of Lords had a dramatic,
elaborate introduction which, in fact, was
teetering on the edge of absurdity. This
band seems to be a carbon copy of
Whitesnake. The band’s good points are
the keyboardist Greg Guiffria (who
already had a band that sounded like
Whitesnake) and the drummer, who
played an intense solo. Mostly, however
House Of Lords was bland, stale and even
a tad ridiculous. Unintentionally, the per-
formance complimented the simplicity of
the head-lining act. oO
The ending of Beaches comes as no sur-
prise, that is if you've managed to stay
awake through the whole movie — but
with all the screaming, tearful fits, and
wailing you probably have. It won't be
ruined in this article, but if you can’t guess
what happens within twenty minutes of
the movie, you deserve to sit through it.
Oh, bring plenty of tissues to this flick —
the butter from the popcorn can get awful-
ly messy. o

Men of the 80’s
To the Editor:
For Years, it was a commonly held belief that since we
live in a ‘man’s world’, life was harder for a woman
who wanted to become a success within this so-called
man’s world than for a woman who maintained a more
“traditional’’ role. Women had to struggle twice as hard
to attain the same amount of recognition men so easily
achieved. But this belief is slowly coming undone and the
belief that being a man is easier than being a woman is
also fading.
First of all, being a man in the 80’s is no easy task. We
women confuse men with mixed messages, leading them
to believe we want a sensitive ‘“‘Alan Alda” type, when
we're really looking for an Arnold. Schwarzenegger.
Men are also slaves to their ego. When they’re sad,
they need sympathy, but pour on too much, and they feel
as if you’re pitying them. Their pride hurts them as much
as it amuses us.
Confusion as to ‘‘who’s picking up the bill’? always
strikes the 80’s man on the first date. Imagine what going
on in his head: ‘‘Should I insist on picking up the bill and
have her think I’m a male chauvanist pig? Should I make
her pay and let her think I’m a cheap slug? Should I sug-
gest that we go dutch and have her think I’m an indecisive
clunk?’? Wow!
Realizing that the double standard is easing off in these
times where most men want monogamy as much as
women do scares them too. Mentioning super-bitches like
Robin Givens, Joanna Carson and Bianca Jagger makes
any man shiver. Realixing than women use men (for
money, jewelry, famous name, prestige) just as much as
men use women (for sex) makes any man feel doubtful
about himself.
Competing with a woman on the job or having a
woman supervisor becomes another source of insecurity
for the 80’s man. Men sometimes just want to feel like
men, whether playing the role of breadwinner, protector,
or father, but the 80’s don’t always allow him to.
Insecurity strikes men at any age. It is easier for a
woman to be considered beautiful or fashionable because

we simply have more choices. Men are stuck with
whatever looks they’re born with; women can use
makeup or dye their grays.
The realization that men need women as much as (or
even more than) women need men is a scary one for them.
The signals we send say, “‘We want to kick your ass on
the job, out-do you in everything, make more money than
you and THEN have you take us out on a lavish date and
pay for it all.” Women today have more choice than they
ever had before. While the 70’s ‘‘Ultra Feminism’’ aban-
doned traditional roles to its own demise, the 80’s “‘New
Feminism” tells us that we can choose anything, and we
won’t be deemed a failure if we choose to stay home.
We’re simply realizing that housewives are okay. In fact,
part of being a liberated woman is making choices. If I
choose to be barefoot and pregnant before I reach the
legal drinking age, why should Betty Freidan get in a
huff?
So, next time a man whistles at you, try not to turn
around and claw his eyes out. He’s just trying to voice his
approval and admiration. Turn around and say,
“Thanks’’, and remember that man is not nearly as terri-
ble and threatening as he is unsure, but willing to learn.

Winterfest plans
To the Editor:
Pray for more snow, while it seems that a request for
divine intervention could be spent on better things; I
know something you might not. . . Winterfest ’89’s just
one week away.
Rudolph and Santa have come and gone and while
Christmas is their season, my season doesn’t end until
March. It is with this in mind that I have taken it upon
myself to make sure winter is fun, even after December.
Therefore Thursday Feb. 2nd—Sunday Feb Sth will be a
funfilled festive occasion with events that should appeal
to even the most studious students,
Nobody hates comedy and that’s just what’s in store in
the Campus Center Ballroom on opening night. Those
attending will be entertained by Gilbert Gottfreid in one
of Winterfest’s warmer events.
Friday night, for more serious people, is ‘‘Snow Ball’’,
a semi-formal banquet taking place at the Thruway
House. Tickets are on sale in the Campus Center Lobby
for $35 a couple and $18 per person.
The next couple of days will be filled with all sorts of
snow-filled events such as snow football and volleyball,
tug-of-war, snowsculpting and other wonderfully wintery
things to do. Of course not to be forgotten is Saturday
night’s ‘‘Club Coke’, when the gym will be turned into a
Paladium style dance club with video screens and wild
tunes.
All will take place come rain or shine and especially
snow. So remember, pray for snow, pray real hard and
join the festivities of Winterfest. The finest event of
Winter entertainment SUNYA students have ever seen.
Hope to see you there, just look for the guy in the top hat.
—Ed Stevens

ALBANY.
STUDENT
PRESS
The Albany Student Press is the only
newspaper on the State University at Albany
campus which reports all the news to the
students, faculty and administration. Since 1977,
we have been an independent corporation. This
editorial freedom enables us to put all the
power of journalism into the hands of the
students.
NEWS-— While reporting accurately and responsibly, writers gain hands-
on-experience in the field of professional journalism.
SPORTS— Coverage of all SUNYA sports events gives sports writers a
terrific opportunity to learn all the ins-and-outs of reporting about the
* “athletic ‘world.
3 PRODUCTION= While earning money, production staff is responsible ‘
“for actually créating the look of the newspaper. Production is a perfect way 4
to get the feel of how a publication is put together. The range of %
production goes from typists to techies.
ASPECTS— The creative department of the paper has need for fiction ve
writers, movie and music critics, and artists.
AD PRODUCTION — Students get paid to design, create, and lay out the
advertisements which fund our paper.
BUSINESS— From advertising sales to bookkeeping, the business office
staff is the financial backbone of the ASP. Business majors especially can
take advantage of the great opportunity for corporate business experience,
but the business office is not limited to business majors.

~<Front Page
resolution, and they kept on at-
tacking her,’”” Thompson added.
Thompson also said he was
angered by the second “‘surprise
resolution’ in the past three
Council meetings. The first, at the
Dec. 14 meeting, was a strongly
worded comdemnation of the SA
executive branch, in particular
Controller Alan Rafterman. That
resolution, which brought an
angry response and a threat to
resign from Rafterman, was
defeated 28-2.
“The timing for (Wednesday’s)
resolution was bad,’’ Thompson
said. ‘It says something. It says
that Council does not want to be
rushed into voting on surprise
resolutions.”
The debate did not cover just
the logistics of the need for a per-
manent Chief Justice. It also
brought to light what many
members felt was a condemnation
of not only Feldman and Cohen,
but the entire system of checks
and balances as well.
“This is about a person. I don’t
find her to be qualified,”* argued
Brian Lowy.
“TJ don’t believe it’s our job
and ours to say you have to pick
(a Supreme Court Justice),”’ said
Thompson. ‘‘What we are saying
is that the other four are in-
capable of running the position,
and that’s just not so.’”
“‘We need a Supreme Court
(Chief) Justice so we can have all
three branches of the student
government intact,’ Wilkins
said.
A straw poll taken two-thirds
through debate showed support
for the resolution with 14 in favor
and eight against.
Josh Mandell, an Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court,
spoke against the Council’s
resolution, drawing questions
concerning his objectiveness on
future issues involving the
Council.
“T’ve never been so personally
insulted,” Mandell said. Mandell
went on to add that “If you
(Council) had done your
homework, you would have
found that she has the most
experience.’”
The division of the Council,
which Thompson said he con-
sidered infrequent, took on a
hostile tone at times throughout
the debate and rested partially on
what basis each voting member
decided his vote.
Some council members took
confidence in the earlier Internal
Affairs decision to deny Feldman
the position. Others disagreed.
“Internal Affairs can be
wrong,” one Council-member
argued. “‘If people who are not
on Internal Affairs vote yes, you
are basing your decision solely on
Internal Affairs and that’s not
right.””
The final vote declined the
issue, nine in favor and 13
What followed was a more
relaxed restatement of the issue,
how the concil as a whole dealt
with the issue on the personal side
and what the evening’s debate
meant for SA.
Many stressed the importance
of realizing that the topic of
debate was not a personal issue
and feelings should be dealt with
at the table only.
Others called for unification of
a body that represents ‘‘every stu-
dent on this campus.’’
“We are one of the most
powerful student governments in
the State, but we are letting that
slip through our fingers,’ said
Nadya Lawson in a speech that
was applauded by all who attend-
ed the five and a half hour
meeting.
Lawson stressed the impor-
tance of working together on
issues and working our a solution.
“That’s what we’re here to do,”
she said.
“We're a good Student
Association and we know that,’”
one Council-member said. oO
the source of the fire was being
investigated.
Tracey Birenbaum, a Resident
Assistant who lived in the adjoin-
ing room, suffered from smoke
inhalation during the incident.
LaJoy said that the student was
treated at the scene and was then
transported to a hospital by Five
Quad. The student was released
from the hospital Wednesday
night.
Henighan said that no criminal
charges would be made.
“It was an accident. It was not
intentional. There may be some
internal or administrative action
taken, but no criminal charges,”
Henighan said.
Indian Quad coordinator
Laurie Garafola would not com-
ment on the question of penalties.
“T’m not in any position to com-
ment on that. I really don’t
know,”’ said Garafola.
Residential Life Vice President
John Martone could not be reach-
ed for comment. o

that will be installed in the tower
are the loudest on the market,
over 100 decibels.”’ He also said
that the halls, when built, were
constructed compartmentally in
order to control the spread of fire
more effectively, but that this
kind of solid construction is also a
disadvantage because the sound
of an alarm does not carry as afi
well. He advised students to
notify their Resident Assistant
(RA) if they have difficulty hear-
ing the alarm.
Laurie Garafola, Indian Quad
Coordinator, suggested that
smoking only in designated areas
could also cut down on the
number of false reports.
The general attitude of the
students who attended the
meeting was that the program was
effective.
Mary Gowan, Mahican hall
RA, said, ‘I really think that
what they said tonight will serve
as a deterrent, and make people
think twice before tampering with

Some thoughts
from the
sports desk
By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR
Thoughts of an opinionated sports
editor.
Jerry Rice; Super Bowl MVP? Hey, he
had a great game, but who was throwing
the ball to him? Joe Montana won the
game for the Niners. A 92 yard drive in
less than four minutes. In the biggest
game. Montana, MVP. Rice is a crybaby
anyways. He’s complaining because all
the coverage of Montana was on the
front page and he was on the back.
Quit bitching Rice. You were on
Arsenio Hall last night, plus you get a
new ’89 car for getting MVP. And
you’re on the covers of this week’s Sports
Illustrated and The Sporting News.
Some guys are never happy.
While we’re on the subject of pro foot-
ball, did anyone see the recent inductees
into the Hall of Fame? All of them (Roy
Blount, Willie Brown, and Terry Brad-
shaw) deserved en- es
shrinement in Canton. Spor ts
Where’s Bob Griese?
His stats are almost
identical to Brad-
shaw’s. He won two
Super Bowls and proved he was the
“thinking man’s q.b.’’ (you can’t say
that about Bradshaw.)
From the pros we’ll move to the college
ranks.
Prop 42 has to be the hottest topic
around today.
I was against it because of cultural bias
to minorities. But then I saw Arthur
Ashe (the only black to win Wimbledon)
on Nightline. He said that a scholarship,
“isa privilege, not aright.” Ifa person
can’t get a 700 on the SAT’s and a C
average, he doesn’t belong in college.
However, admit the student under a
program where if he can get a 2.0 his
freshman year, he can play with a full
scholarship for four years.
I’m tired of seeing athletes who can’t
write their names going to top institu-
tions. Let a poor person who can’t drib-
ble or pass a ball have a chance to get an
education.
Kareem, please retire. You’re only em-
barrassing yourself and hurting your
team.
The Knicks handed the Lakers their
first home loss of the season this week.
Could this be the year?
This weekend is the first ever Lady
Dane tourney. Our Danes will host Kean
College at 8:30 Saturday night. Should
Column
| be a good one.
The wrestling team hosts No. one
Ithaca 1:00 in the gym. Instead of wat-
ching that fake WWF crap, go see some
real wrestlers. The Danes could pull off a
major upset.
Three weeks until Potsdam, I repeat,
three weeks until Potsdam. Get ready for
the best hoops rivalry in the state.
Get well wishes go out to Sylvia and
Lisa P. from the women’s basketball
team and Lara, our favorite ad person at
the ASP. By the way Lara, how did you
catch that mono? Just kidding!
Less than one month until spring train-
ing starts. Before you know it, it’ll be
Spring and baseball season will start. If
the Yankees don’t win the World Series
this year, it will be the first decade they
haven’t won at least one series since the
1910’s. : tc
Southern Connecticut, 77, Holy Cross, 73,
Bates, 45, Albany, 30, Amherst, 27,
Lowel, 14, Smith, 10, Worchester Tech, 8,
WPI, 6, and Salem, 4.
The Danes had some outstanding per-
formances, many of them leading to
qualifications for post seasgn competition.
Placing second where seniors Kathy
Bellantoni, and Barbara Ascher. Bellan-
toni ran the 400m dash in 1:04.4, which
qualified her for the New York State
Championships (NYS). Also, qualifying
for the NYS was Ascher in the 5000m with
an indoor personal best of 19:31.9.
Senior Marylou Webster ran her indoor
personal best in the 1500m. Webster’s time
of 4:58.7 gualified her for the NYS and the
ECACs.

On January 14th and 15th the Albany
Ski Team travelled to Toggenberg Moun-
tain to participate in the Syracuse Invita-
tional. 16 schools from New York state
competed, including teams from Clarkson,
RPI, Army, Union, Syracuse and Colgate.
In Saturday’s slalom, the Great Danes
finished a disappointing eleventh place
with both their number one skier, frosh
Mike Meagher, and number three, junior
John Binker disqualifying. In addition,
returning number two skier, senior Bruce
Barden was skiing on a severely sprained
ankle.
A bright spot for Albany was frosh Rafu

physical, they have to be kept under
control.”
It doesn’t help that two of Albany’s best
players are out of the line up.
Senior guard Lisa Parrish hasn’t played
since December. She has a bad leg.
“It’s her enzyme count, if it’s down, the
leg is healing and there isn’t any develop-
ment,”’ Warner said. ‘‘If it’s high, it’s too
dangerous to put her back on the court.”
Freshman guard Sylvia Caldwell was
having a stellar season. She was fifth in
the nation in assists. A recent bout with
strep throat has kept her out.
“I just want healthy people,’? Warner
said.
Injuries aside, the Danes, 10-4, have
been playing well. Some new players have
helped.
The performances of point guards Lisa
Carracio and Laurie Annunziato have
helped Albany.
“Kathy (Bellantoni), Marylou
(Webster), and Barbara’s (Ascher) times
were exceptional for this time fo the year.
They have a chance to hit some good times
this season,”’ said head coach Ron White.
“All three are seniors and are definitely
on the right track to leave college on a
positive note,”’ he added.
The freshmen also contributed. This was
evident by Dawn Dansky’s fourth place
performance in the 3000m run. Dansky
ran a personal best indoor time of 11:31.5.
“1’m happy with Dawn’s (Dansky)
time,’’ said White. ‘‘She ran two races,
first the 1500m and came back and ran a
personal best in the 3000m, it was quite an
accomplishment.’”
Also placing fourth was the 3200m
relay. The relay was comprised of
Rodriguez who placed 33rd and senior co-
captain Dwight Borem who finished 37th
out of the 100 racers. The Danes also plac-

Meagher and Bricker finishing 20th and
30th. Clarkson captured the men’s overall
title.
The women’s team, with only two retur-
ning skiers, found stiff competition at
Toggenberg.
Leading Albany in the giant slalom was
transfer student Carine Jacusch who
finished 41st out of the 60 women com-
petitors. In the slalom Albany was again
led by Jacusch who placed 32nd. Senior
Daryl Bart finished 24th. The women’s
“Lisa was put in a most diffucult situa-
tion,”’ Warner said, “I praise her for her
competitiveness and her courage.’’
“Laurie always comes through,”
Warner said, we need her to be more of an
(offensive) threat.’’
Not only are the new players con-
tributing, but some of the veterans too.
Junior forward Gina Richardson is
leading the Danes in scoring with 14.6
points per game. Recently she earned a
starting position.
“We really didn’t plan on her being a
starter,” Warner said, ‘‘more of a 6th
man. She got thrown into it. Even on her
bad games she comes up with ten rebounds
and double figures.’’
The other forward, junior Pam Wilson,
has been coming up with big rebounds and
scoring more too.
“She’s improved so much, a 100 percent
hard worker,’’ Warner said. ‘‘She’s got to
learn to play more instinctively.”
The Danes will have to play perfect ball
to beat the Cougars.

32 feet 1 and a half inches, and Kim
Carter’s performance in the 200m, 30.8

“Both athletes (LaVeck and Carter)
gave fine performances. Both have gotten
off to a nice start,” said White, ‘Kim

looking at some super times this season.’’
The Dane runners will compete on
Saturday in the Smith Invitational in

Dane men’s track team beats RPI
By Steven Silberglied
STAFF WRITER
There is little question that the Albany
men’s track team is improved over last
year. Their 85-51 victory over RPI raised
the team’s record to 5-0-1.
Last year RPI embarrassed Albany by
upsetting the Danes by 10 points. In a way,
that loss set the stage for Albany’s sub-par
-500 season.
There was no way the Danes were about
to let history repeat itself. This was as the
Danes were running under similar adverse
conditions. Earlier in the week they
discovered a key team member would be
lost for the season. The exact same
scenario occurred a year earlier as well.
However, the meet was even more
decisive than the score indicated. Consider
the facts that the Danes won eleven of the
sixteen events contested, placed in all but
one, and had at least two scorers in ten of
the fourteen non-relay events.
Albany Coach Roberto Vives said on the
meet, “This was a total team effort as
everybody pulled their own weight. We
didn’t have any exceptional outings but we
performed well. This was probably a big
meet for us because it shows that we could
stay focused on our goals.’’
Albany once again excelled in the 400m,
500m, and 1000m placing first and second
in all three events. Overall the Danes
outscored the Engineers 36-8 in the middle
distance area.
Sophomore tri-captain Jose Maymi won
the 400 in 53.3 and was followed by
freshman Wilfredo Rodriguez’s 53.6. At
500m, sophomore Mile Salmon and senior
Bruce Gaynor were also involved in a tight
inter-team dual, with Salmon winning
1:12.1 to 1:12.3.
Albany junior Mike Hicky, a transfer
from RPI, defeated his ex-teammates on
his former home track in the 1000 meter
race. He was timed in 2:39, one second
ahead of Albany freshman Joe McCullen.
The Danes also countered with a one-
two punch in the 45 meters. Freshman
Derrick Westbrook won in 5.6, and was
followed by teammate Rob DeMaio in 5.7.
The most exciting race of the day was
the 3000 meters. Albany juniors
Christopher Kranick and David Spencer
were locked in a battle with an RPI runner
from the gun, breaking away from the rest
of the field a half a mile into the race.
Spencer led the three through a smooth
4:55 mile where it appeared that Kranick
was struggling. Kranick was able to hang
on and follow a surge by Spencer with
600m left in the race.
Kranick opened up his stride during the
last quarter mile to break away from the
other two harriers, and eventually win in
9:17. Spencer, despite being in second
place before the final leg, was outleaned at
the tape in 9:22. Still, the third place finish
was a success, as it was Spencer’s first race
since the early part of cross country
season.
Another exciting finish involved the two
Albany mile relay teams. On the Anchor
leg, Rodriguez was barely able to hang on
despite the formidable challenge of Albany
freshman Todd Buckely. Buckely’s 51.9,
400m split was not enough to overcome his
team’s deficit, but it was an outstanding
time, expecially given consideration that
RPI’s unusual ‘‘square’”’ track severly
hinders any sprinter’s time. Rodriguez's
team best split of 52.4 led he, Maymi,
DeMaio and Salmon to victory in 3:36.
The Danes also were victorious in the
3200m relay. Hicky, freshman Gregorio
Luciano, Junior Mickey Kiely, and
Gaynor were timed in 8:30 for the win.
Gaynor, a tri-captain, said of the Danes’
outing ‘‘This was a good meet for us
because it gave us a chance to run together
as ateam. It is tough to run good times at a
place like this (the RPI fieldhouse) but we
are pleased with the results overall.”
Sophomore John Ashley was the only
Dane to win two individual events. He cap-
tured both of the horizontal jumps; the tri-
ple jump at 43 feet, 8 inches and the long
jump leaping 21 feet, 1 inch. He was able
to accomplish this by only jumping one
time in each competition.
Freshman Tom Mead remained
undefeated in his specialty event, the pole
vault. He cleared 13 feet 6 inches to win
the competition.
Albany junior tri-captain George
Cuporin had an impressive evening, scor-
ing in two events. He won the 35 Ib. weight
throw with a distance of 38 feet, 8 and a
half inches; and was third in the shot put,
heaving 40 feet, 1 inch.
The Danes also received respectable se-
cond place showings from Luciano’s 800m
time of 2:00.7, Buckely’s 4:09 1500m,
junior Craig Lefay’s shot put toss of 41
feet, 9 inches, and senior Michael Wasser-
man’s 7.4 time in the 50 meter hurdles.
The Danes will travel to Boston this
weekend to compete in two prestigious
meets. On Saturday the team will be at the
Terrier Classic at Boston University, and
on Sunday they will visit Harvard Univer-
sity for the Greater Boston meet.
The Danes can expect keen competition,
as many of the nation’s top Division I
track teams will be in attendance.
Women cagers to host tourney
Play Cougars
By Christopher Sciria
‘SPORTS EDITOR
Most basketball teams that host tour-
naments usually pick teams from unknown
places. The Albany women’s basketball
team, who are hosting this weekend’s Lady
Dane Tournament have done that too.
Most teams from those unknown places
usually are cream puffs, so that the host
team wins big and looks good in front of
their fans.
The Danes, 10-4, have not done this.
“It’s our goal to runa.toughcompetitive
tournament,”’said Albany head coach
Mari Warner. ‘’You don’t bring in an easy
team to get into the finals,” she added.
Albany will host Kean College of New
Jersey on Saturday night at 8:30 at Univer-
sity Gym. The Cougars are a team to
reckon with. They have made the NCAA
Division II] Tournament the last six years.
Two years ago, they made the Final Four.
“They certainly are a top team,”’ said
Warner, ‘‘High caliber competition.”
The Cougars are led by senior forward
Merry Beth Ryan. Last year she set a team
single-season scoring record with 689
points. She averaged almost 24 points a
game.
If the Danes can stop Ryan, they have a
good chance of knocking off a tough
team.
“Taken out of their element, we have a
chance,’ said Warner. ‘‘They’re so

Ithaca Bombers
By Gregory Localio

“This is undoubtedly our toughest
challenge thus far this season,” said
Albany wrestling head coach Joe DeMeo,
as he contemplated Saturday’s upcoming
dual meet at home, versus the Ithaca Col-
lege Bombers(1:00 p.m. University
Gym).
Ithaca, led by Coach John Murray, is
currently the number one ranked Divi-
sion III school in the nation. Last
season, as a team, they emerged as vic-
tors of the Eastern Regional Tourna-
ment. Their lineups will pose some wor-
thy obstacles for the Dane squad.
DeMeo’s Danes are presently ranked
eighteenth in Division II] and have
recently upped their mark to 6-2.
Leading the charge for Albany will be
freshman Steve Mitola (118 Ibs.) as he
faces freshman Tom Shaw of Ithaca. At
the 126 Ib. division, freshman Sam
Rascoll of the Danes will challenge
sophomore Bomber Greg Hubschmitt.
A third freshman for Albany, Jeff La-
mountain will move up a notch to 134 Ib.
in attempts to uproot Ithaca’s All-
American junior Joel Lamson. At 142 Ib.
Albany’s Andy Gordon, a two-time team
captain and a senior, will take on last
years Eastern Conference Champion Ron
Gross of Ithaca. Gross went on to com-
pete in the NCAA Tournament. Dane
captain Chris Zogby will battle Ithaca’s
junior All American Marty Nichols in the
150 Ib. slot while Albany freshman john
Palvin (158 Ib.) will try to tackle the
Bomber’s Eastern Regional Champion,
junior Tim Habercter.
Albany native Greg Jones will wrestle
for the Danes at 167 Ib. versus Marty
Sullivan of Ithaca. Last season, Greg
placed second in the Great Dane classic
Tournament.
However, the road for Jones has pro-
ven much more difficult as he has been
hampered by a sore hamstring and a
dislocated shoulder.
“You gotta go on. You gotta work
through the rough times,”’ said Jones as
he took a brief respite from Thursday’s
practice.
“This is a big test for our guys Who are
pushing for the Western Regionals,“ said
DeMeo. ‘‘In addition, by upsetting
Ithaca, we stand to gain much respect
and attention in the natonal rankings.”
Rounding out the lineup will be
sophomore Chris Roberts (177 1b.),
freshman Tom Lynch (190 Ib.), and
senior heavy weight Ivan Katy, who was
a finalist at last year’s Olympic trials.
The Bombers will counter with All-
American junior Dan Bieller(177 Ib.),
another All-American, junior Mike
Fusilli (190 1b.), and freshman standout
Randy Cotton, who placed third and
fourth over the past two years in the New
york State High School Championships.
The Danes remain humbly optimistic,
despite four consecutive team victories
over the past month.
Earlier in January, Albany overcame
Division I opponent Wagner by a score
of 27-14.
DeMeo is anticipating a large en-
thusiastic host of supporters on Saturday
afternoon.
“Our guys love to use the home crowd
to provide that extra emotional boost”’,
said DeMeo. ‘That could be just the
edge we need.”” Qo
