Men, women harriers confident for Nationals
By Cathy Errig
STAFF WRITER
Last year, when the Albany
State men's cross country team
departed from Albany en route to
III Nationals, they drove off in a
decorated van complete with
good-luck wishbones, com-
pliments of their female
counterparts,
This year however, instead of

merely sending their good wishes
and enthusiasm, the women’s
cross country team is sending
itself to Delaware, Ohio, where it
will compete, for the first time
ever, in the NCAA Nationals as
well,
Departure from SUNYA took
place at the gym at 6:30 p.m. last
night, amidst much enthusiasm,
cheering and well-wishing from
fellow teammates and students.
The atmosphere was that of in-
tense excitement and pride, (one
could almost sce the flag-waving
Americans of {ast summer's
Olympic Games), and also a
touch of nervousness,
“1 had a hard time studying
and paying attention in my classes
today,"’ remarked the elated
Lynn Jacobs. “But I'm really
psyched to run hard and I'm
g forward to doing well.
“Doing well” will mean dif-
ferent things to the two squads.
For the men, who are making
their 12th trip to this competition
ond visit in as many
years, a finish within the top 10
out of a field of 21 teams, will
make Coach Bob Muncie ‘ex
tremely happy.
Runner lan Clements considers
a finish within the top seven as be-
ing within reach, quite an im-
provement over last_year’s 18h
place finish. Several factors, he
feels, contribute to this improve-
ment; the most significant being a
more aggressive attitude and an
increase in confidence.
“It’s a very different situation
from last year; we were all over-
awed and inexperienced,"” said
Clements. “This time around we
know what to expect, we have six
runners who have gained a year’s
experience and expect to do
bette
In order to do so, Muncie feels
that the team will have to go out
much faster than it did in last
Saturday's regional meet, a meet
in which the team’s surge late in
"the race was the key to the team’s
success
“It will be a big field," com-
mented Muncie, “and competi-
tion will be very tight. We'll have
to be up there in the first mile and
a half, not surge later and try to
make it up."”
As for individual perfor-
mances, Ed McGill, the team's
front runner, placed seventh in
the regional, figures to be the
team's best hope for All-
American honors, However,
while McGill sees this as a definite
goal and possibility, he is not
thinking of it too much; the team
aspect overrides individual
aspirations.
“Hopefully we will all come
together this weekend,"” McGill
said. “No one has hit their ab-
solute peak race yet; we're stepp-
ing up to that point."
The goals of the women's team
are somewhat different from
those of the veteran men,
that stems from the very
attitudes of the women. Feelings
of disbelief are prevalent among
the team members, understan-
dable when one considers that
none of the runners making the
trip to Ohio are seniors and two
are freshmen,
Said freshman Rachel Braslow,
“Never did I ever think we would
be going to Nationals; I never im-
agined it would actually happen. 1
am very nervous!"
Coach Ron White, however
feels confident that his team “is
not tired yet, they still have
another race in them." A finish
somewhere in the middle of the 12
competing teams is the prediction
of White, a prediction he made
with a great deal of reserve for, as
he pointed out, “We have not
competed against the majority of
the teams that will be running on
Saturday.
“It’s a select group we're deal-
ing with, and very difficult to
predict,"” said White. “It will be

“Students aren’t tolerant

OFFENSE
‘Quarterback: Mike Milano looked as if he
were on the verge of another record-
breaking year this season, but then he went
down in the first game against Ithaca with
a broken fibula, Sound familiar? Well it
should. Last year Dave Soldini went down
against Ithaca in the first game of the
season with the same injury and came
back, We all know what he did this season,
don’t we? Jeff Russell and Anthony Nozzi
replaced Milano from there on in. The two
performed well, improving each game, but
they didn’t seem to have Milano's flair.
Russell seemed to gain cohfidence and
started airing out his arm as the season
wore on, Nozzi definitely improved in his
ability to read defenses. This was never
more apparent than it was against Marist
in the final game of the season when he ran
in two touchdowns.
GPA: 2.56
Running Backs: The second half of the
season the running back corps got A's or
better and that was no coincidence.In the
first game of the season the wishbone star
was Caesar Revano, who rushed for 79
yards. But when Soldini took over, he got
more yards than that on one rush alone
against Norwich — 91, Soldini was great
all season, as he ended up with 1,017
yards, a new Great Dane record, Ro Mit-
hell also had some real big runs, both in-
side and outside, Dave Melvin was out
there setting some bone-crushing blocks
that were responsible for many, many
yards, With all of these guys coming back
next year the "bone will be running again,
even better than this year.
GPA: 3.44
Offensive Line: They are from left to
right, Mike Rule, Mike Moriarity, Pat Mc-
Cullough, Tom Jacobs and John
Sawehuck. And they were great. The
whole line did an outstanding job at both
protecting the quarterback and paving the
way for running backs. Jake played up to
an All-Americans. status. He and
Sawchuck dominated their side of the line
of scrimmage for the most part. The left
side also played extremely well as most of
the outside runs by Mitchell were to their
side, We can't forget Ross Setlow who
played extremely well when he was in there
but then he got hurt and acted as an expert
offensive analyst for me. Next year with
the exception of Jake (and maybe the
Sawman), they will all be back. And don’t
forget, if it weren't for one real bad outing
against Southern Connecticut their GPA
would be much higher.
GPA: 3.01
Reclevers: I feel bad for the recievers in a
wishbone offense, they don’t really get a
shot to catch the ball, so their GPA is pro-
bably lower than they deserved. They were
pretty consistent throughout and didn't
drop too many. Don't forget that next
year, John Donnelly, Chris Haynor and
Scott Reagan will all be back next year,
Donnelly can also throw the ball well
which makes him a double" threat. Next
year I look for the receivers to catch a lot
more passes.
GPA: 2.58
DEFENSE
Defensive Line: What a group. Dennis
Murphy, George laccobaccio, John Red-
mond, Ron Washington, Rick Punzone,
Ron Putelo and Chris Esposito, who could
be the next Jim Canfield, according to
defensive tackle coach Tom Whiteley. All
of these guys had a super year. As a matter
of fact, Washington was the Danes’ only
offense in the New Haven when he ran
back an interception for 76 yards and a
touchdown. But the whole line put a lot of
pressure on the opposing team’s quarter-
back, forcing them into mistakes. They
were also very stingy on the run.
GPA: 3.36
Linebackers: Valentino is great, it's as
simple as that. He will be sorely missed
next year. But there are others that can
more than hold their own out there,
Besides Val, the team’s number one
tackler, there were Pierre Roulier, Frank
Sarcone and Bo Murphy, all quality
players in their own right. In Albany’s
defense it is usually tough to see what the
linebackers are doing. But if you look into
it a little bit, you will see that this is the
center of the Danes’ defense in more than
just position.
GPA: 3,30
Secondary: Jim Collins and Ray Priore
each played well in their senior years, But
the real story back here was the fleet-
footed Wayne Anderson, who picked off
many passes and stopped a lot of long runs
from going any longer. Matt Karl did a
very good job stopping runs from going
aroung the corners. Scott Dmitrenko and
Carroll played very well for youngsters
once they learned the system.
GPA: 3.12
SPECIAL TEAMS
Specials: Besides the fumbled punts it
wasn’t that bad. There were some big run-
backs like Mitchell's record setting 95-yard
touchdown kickoff runback, The defense
played very well on punts but their kickoff
coverage did leave a lot to be desired. Don-
nelly did a good job throwing on two-
pointers and most of the Danes’ fakes were
successful unlike their not so lucky
‘opponents.
GPA: 2.69
Kicking Game: Mark Piersimoni had a
very good season, just missing the record
for punting average. As far as the
placekickers go, Charlie Giknis kicked the
longest kickoff I've ever seen live when it
went out of the end zone, He was pretty
consistent, Dave Lincoln wasn't as consis-
tent, He would hit a 47-yarder one minute
and miss one in the thirties the next.

Overall GPA; 3,02
Offensive GPA: 2,90

Increasing numbers of students
say they are having trouble in
their classes because they can't
understand their instructor's
English, but according to
SUNYA'‘s Dean of
Undergraduate Studies Harry
Hamilton, it might be the
students’ own faults.
“A number of students are of-
fended by an accent of any sort,"
said Hamilton. “‘Students aren't
tolerant enough to put in the ef-
fort to understand the accent, If
you listen, you can understand. If
you resist it, you'll still be having
trouble at the end of the year."
Hamilton said he has in-
vestigated various complaints
lodged by students with this pro-
blem. In most cases, he said he
found that the instructor in ques-
tion spoke and understood
English “quite well.” He recalled
a 30 minute talk with a teaching
assistant from India, where, he
said, he may have missed a total

“Even a one-to-one conversa-
tion can’t ascertain as to how ef-

University Affairs, who added,
“Teaching in a classroom calls

Most of the instructors students
say they have had problems
understanding have been foreign
graduate students, In the past two
years, requirements have been
stiffened to insure that these
foreigners can, in fact, speak
English, according to Jeffrey Col-
lins, Assistant to the Dean of
Graduate Studies.
Foreign students must pass two
guidelines in order to teach in
front of a classroom, Collins said.
The candidate must have a Test of
English as a Foreign Languag
(TOEFL) score of 600 or better,
which is above the normal admis-
sion standards for other graduate
students, Collins said, adding 1
the student must also be recom-

dall asserted that even though a
TOEFL score is high enough to
indicate that a person has a firm
grasp of the English language,
that is not a guarantee that the
person can give a classroom
lecture.
According to Hamilton, the

with the knowledge that he could

other respects, the man was

to push 21 proposal

19 and 20 year olds may still be able (o legally enjoy a New
*s Eve drink this January, as a spokesperson for New York
Governor Mario Cuomo says a drinking age hike isn’t currently on
nda for December's special legislative session,
Despite this temporary reprieve, SUNY A's Student Action Com-
mittee is already beginning to mobilize against any possible push
for a 21 year old drinking age,
Anticipating 21 to be an issue in the special session, which is
scheduled for the first week of December, SAC Chair Steve Gawley
reported that a meeting was held last Thursday as part of a planned
Alcohol Awareness Campaign which Student Association hopes
will help halt a 21 year old drink
New York's current Urinking age is 19, but Cuomo has been a
strong advocate of 21, and earlier this year, a State Assembly bill (a
raise the drinking age to 21 only failed by several votes.
Since then, President Ronald Reagan has signed legislation that
would cut federal highway funds going to state governments that
fail to approve a 21 drinking age by October 1986,
Although Cuomo press officer Madeline Lewis said 21 would
not be on the agenda of the December legislative session, she did
say she was “sure that it (21) will come up again in the new
legislative session in January.”
Gawley, however, is still concerned (hat the 21 proposal may
come up in December. He said he doesn’t want students to be un-
prepared if a 21 bill is introdu he mecting was a briefing on

educated lobbyists.”
Gawley reported that 41 students reported for lobbying.
Student Action Committee vice chair Gregg Rothschild descib-
ed the briefing as a strategy session to present ‘‘a three pronged ap-
proach to attack the 21 year old drinking age." The steps will in-
clude, according to Rothschild, an Awareness Campaign, a letter
writing drive, and actual lobbying.
The Awareness Campaign, which began with Thursday's brief-
ing, consists of a petition drive on quad
Campus Center, as well as publicity through posters placed across
campus, Gawley said.
Letter writing and lobbying, Rothschild said, would be targeted
at certain key legislators and committee members. “The em-
phasis,”” Rothschild explained, “should not be on our age. It
should be on enforcement and education ,,. and that’s what we're
going to say when we go downtown"’ to the capital.
The biggest danger, both Gawley and Rothschild said, is the
federal legislation which prohibits states who don’t implement a 21
year old drinking age October 1, 1986 from receiving federal
highway funds,
New York State would reportedly lose a total of $90 million in
highway funds over two years if 21 is not implemented,
““We attempted to confront the Governor's biggest piece of am-
munition, which is denial of state highway funds,"" by showing that
the “oss of revenues that are related to taxes and liquor may be
higher than losses in highway funds," Gawley stated.
“1 think the only real chance we have is the federal legislation be-
ing challenged in the courts, That will be the key," Gawley said.
“Right now a lot of groups are taking on the U.S, government,”
Rothschild added,
The federal legislation, according to Gawley, is a “direct infr
ingement on the perogative of the states to legislate themselves
and could be overturned by federal courts.
Lewis said, ‘It (21) is an important enough law that it should be
done by itself and not as a threat upon the states."
ey also claimed that there is ‘*no significant evidence on 21
that’s new, The issue hasn't changed, only the motivations. It
would be a real injustice to see 21 passed due to fede
blackmail,”
“It's going to be difficult,”” to stop 21, Gawley asserted,
goal is (0 stall until we see what the court case brings us,
“It’s an uphill battle, but it was tough last year and we won,’”
Rothschild agreed, adding, "The states that have shown that (Driv-

it’s been in conjénction with education and strict enforcement of

By Beth Finneran

The “Dou't Walk Alone"
Escort Service cut back its opera-
tions to include only service from
the library to points on the up-

Tuesday night captain Andrew
Gelbman said the stations on the
four uptown quads, which had

weren't being used and because
the escorts could be better used at

Feldman resigns post on eve of SA investigation
By Tom Bergen
STAFE WHITER
As Student Association was preparing
last week to investigate the management of
Speaker's Forum, Ricky Feldman, the
group's chair handed in his resignation,
according to SA officials.
Although Feldman told group members
that he was resigning for personal reasons
and because he would be unable to devote
cnough time to his duties as chair, ques-
tions remain concerning his management
tactics and his handling of the group's
finances.
Feldman resigned on November 12,
midst dissension in the group and sharp
criticism from SA officials,
According to SA Controller Rich
Golubow, “they (Speaker's Forum) were
ing in vouchers and receipts on
time ... this is a large programming group
and we entrust them with approximately
$20,000 of SA money.”
In addition, said Golubow, ‘people in
the group were not very happy with the
operation of the group. All the power was
in the hands of a few people.”
One particularly sticky dispute between
SA and Speaker's Forum, which remains
unresolved, concerned a voucher Feldman
gave to the Albany Student Press business
office to pay for a Speaker's Forum ad.
The voucher had Golubow’s initials on
it, but according to Golubow, ‘my initials
were forged and it wasn't anyone in SA, it
had to be someone within the group.”
SA Programming Director Patty Sal
asserted, “Ricky (Feldman) said he didn’t
sign it, (SA President Rich) Schaffer did,
Schaffer says he didn’t sign it because he
would use his own initials, not Golubow!s,
We don't know who signed it, it may have

The world premiere showing of

Albany's Palace Theater Sunday,

The film, Kennedy's first

New York Governor Mario M.

wife of Cotton Club's director,
are co-chairing the premiere,
which will benefit two local

holding the premiere in Albany
was SUNYA President Vincent

“It is a pretty big event, I cannot
remember the last time we had a

Tickets to the premiere are $40,
with proceeds being donated to

Trinity Institute Director Ruby
Hughes described the Institute as
“a multiservice center located in
the South end of A,bany. We
serve the disadvantaged people,
We have different programs to
serve the needs of the people
within the community.
She outlined one of the pro-
grams called Step, which, Hughes
said, aids parents of
“develoipmentally delayed
children between the ages of birth
and four years old,"
The premiere, hich will be
followed by a dinner and recep-
tion at the Albany Hilton, was
organized by the New York State
Writer's Institute, which Kennedy
heads. ‘The Writer's Institute is
sponsoring the film (premiere),"”
Kennedy said, ‘but is taking no
money from it.”
Kennedy said Cuomo is serving as
co-chair of the event beciuse "He
is a friend of mine, but it is his

Cuomo spokesperson Madeline

Speaking as a guest in the

ing back 180 years and have failed

Peace movements, Young spoke
of “‘single issue peace groups””
that have united since 1979,
Young said he feels that the
United States “is ignorant of the
European people on the side of
the peace movements,”’ and that
new constituencies have been
activated” against further build-
ups of nuclear weapons.
The European movement has
“moved beyond anti-U.S. feel-
ings" and has been “less aligned
with pro-Soviet_ Communism,"
Young said, calling the idea of
non-alignment “very exciting.”
He added that the movement, has
been associated exclusively with
opposition to the Pershing and
Cruise missles since 1979, but that
a European ‘‘nuclear free zone"?
had been their broader goal.
‘The new movement, according
to Young, has placed less em-

peal, “There is a community
base,”” Young said, adding that
many localized nuclear free zones
now exist in Europe, voted into
place by local citizens.
The most significant peace
movement in Europe, according
to Young, is in Germany where
there is a ‘broad based appeal
and program as no other peace
group has done.”
Young added that peace resear-
cher and educators have ‘been
more significant today and have
made a difference," because
education ‘tis part of the

Smokeout enjoys success despite lone
By Noam Eshkar
STAFF WRITER
450 smokers took advantage of
the Great American Smokeout
last Thursday at SUNYA, but one
person was so angered by the
event he staged a ‘“‘smoke-in”
outside the Campus Center and
offered free cigarettes to passers-
by.
The smokeout, sponsored na-
tionwide by the American Cancer
Society, was directed by the Tau
Kappa Epsilon fraternity at
SUNYA.
“It went a lot better than I ex-
pected it to,” said Barry Pollock,
president of Tau Kappa Epsilon.
At least 450 smokers and 300 non-
smoking ‘adopters’ participated
in the twenty-four hour anti-
smoking campaign, based at a
table in the Campus Center,”
Pollock said.
“The best part of the event was
that it gave smokers who put if
off a chance to quit,"’ he said.
Not everyone agreed with the
idea of a smokeout. Peter Jones,
a SUNYA frosh who handed out
free cigarettes in a protest outside
the Campus Center, said that he
was tired of ‘militant ex-
smokers" who infringe on the
personal rights of smokers by
pressuring them to quit.
“We put in hours of work to
help the American Cancer Society
and that guy just went out and
made a mockery of it — it’s
ridiculous,"* Pollock said, He also
objected to the handing out of
free cigarettes, saying that Jones
was “‘really proud that he got two
people who had filled out forms
(to quit) to smoke — he shoved
the cigarettes in their faces — I
wouldn't be too proud of that,’”

computing head’s exit
By Leslie Chait
STAFF WRITER
Several administrators have received new titles and responsibilities
in a recent telecommunications and information systems department
shuffle in the wake of the resignation of the director of the Com:
puting Center.
The administrative reorganization was necessary due to the resigna
tion of Director of the Computing Center, Barbara Wolfe and the
movement of Dr. Frank Lees from Associate Vice President for
Academic Affairs to Associate Vice President for Information
Systems, said Acting Director of Institutional Research Wendell
Lorang.
Leif Hartmark, former Director of Planning, will take over as ac
ting Director of the Computing Center.
Vice President for Research and Development, Dr. John Shumaker
said the reorganization went into effect October 23. “Personnel shifts
are important but the reorganization of central computing is also im
portant," he said.
According to Harry Hamilton, now the sole Associate Vice Presi
dent of Academic Affairs, Lees’ new duties will be “‘consolidating
various pieces of technological revolutions around campus."
_ Hamilton said his workload will increase but he said he doesn't see
itas “timpossible or even stressful. I believe I can manage." He added
that one advantage to the shift is that there will be one person handl-
ing resources and undergraduate programs.
_ According to Shumaker, a result of the shift would be “better ser:
vices for students, “and faculty will be coordinating and using our
Tesources more creatively and efficiently than in the past.”
_ Hamilton also mentioned a disadvantage to the reorganization say:
ing that although he feels the office will be able to carry out its
Necessary functions, the time needed to consider academic issues such
as curriculum development and honors programs might be ‘short
changed.”
__ “What this will mean is that I will try to get more faculty involved
in considering these matters," he said,
Lorang commented on the shift, saying, “I think we (the ad.
ministration) have got a continuation of a management team who will
work together effectively and efficiently," adding, ‘I'm looking for-
ward to serving as acting director and working with these people in
their,new positions. | see it as a positive move,"
New Director of Planning Pat Terenzini said, ‘All the ad
ministrators involved in these shifts know the responsibilities they're
going to have," adding, “people will notice no diminution in the
quality of service and there may be an improvement.”
SA court finds new Council budget illegal
By Ilene Weinstein
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
When Central Council and a member of Student
Association found themselves at odds over finance
policy last week they turned to SA's Supreme Court
to resolve the dispute.
After a hearing Sunday night, -the court
unanimously ruled in favor of the executive, SA
Controller Rich Golubow, who
said Central Council could not
appropriate its new budget direct-
ly from SA’s general fund, but
must take its funds from Coun-
cil’s emergency spending line
(ESL), as do all groups sceking funding after SA's
budget has been approved for the academic year,
Asserting that two statutes in SA’s finance policy
are “very vague,” the court ruled that Central
Council's new $1,100 budget, which Council
allocated from the general fund on November 14,
would have to come from the ESL, a $10,000 ac-
count that SA usually uses to give groups additional
money or fund new groups during the academic
year.
The general fund is money not budgeted to any
particular group, and is made up primarily of
surplus funds from previous years.
According to statute 904,15 of SA's finance
policy, all new or additional appropriations must be
taken from the ESL. But Statute 906.2 of the policy
states that ‘‘any appropriation from ‘the General
Fund shall be submitted to Central Council as a bill
and must be approved by a two-thirds majority.
Part of the dispute centers around differing opi-
nions as to the purpose of the ESL, Central Council
Chair Mitch Feig claimed that the ESL should only
be used for SA groups, while Golubow contended
that all extra funds allocated during the year should
be taken from the ESL, until the account is at zero,
at which time Council can reallocate money from
the general fund to the ESL
“There is no reason to bypass
Golubow argued.
Central
Council
the ESL,"
Central Council Chair Mitch Feig OPER Soucy Urs
ESL should only be used for SA groups
Allocating funds from the ESL, explained Feig,
who spoke before the court on council's behalf,
“would take money from the mouths of SA
groups.”
Golubow, who argued his own point before the
court, asserted, it is “‘unsound fiscal policy to use
money from the General Fund"” when the ESL has
a budget of $10,000 created for emergencies. ‘SA.
does not have the power to go to the General Fund
for just any reason," he added.
The Supreme Court will strongly recommend
that SA’s finance policy should be “reworked"” to
clear up misunderstandings, said Chief Justice
Steven Sinatra.
Tt was not a matter of whether they (Central
Council) would get the money, but where the
money would come from," said Sinatra, calling the
case‘! petty, ’!
Jones insisted that he and the
smoke-in were misunderstood.
“The point was that we wanted to
offer people a chance to smoke as
the Society offered them not to,"”
he said, adding,"‘We weren't for-
nyone — we were offer-
ing.
Jones also denied ‘shoving
cigarettes" at anyone, ‘The two
people who smoked did so out of
personal choice,”” he said,
Claiming that he was harassed
at his dorm, Jones also said he
received an insulting phone call in
his suite, by someone who

Despite the ‘primitive na-
tionalism” of Margaret Tha
cher's Falkland’s War or the Cor
servative policies of Germany's
Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Young
said that a unified peace move-
‘ment has emerged in Europe,
Two aspects of that unified
movement have been ‘‘transni
tionalism’* and ‘unilateralism,
Transnationalism, Young said,
has created a ‘common move-
ment across national borders.
Their (other nations’) struggles
are our struggles,” he said, ad-
ding that the new movement has
involved more than one nation
and more than one tradition,
Unilateralism, Young said, has
not been popular to U.S. decision
makers. He termed a unilateral
peace offering as ‘ta call for
reciprocity” by both sides of a
conflict.

Injunction denied
A motion for a preliminary injunction
to suspend the bus fee’ was denied on Mon-
day, November 5, according to a
spokesperson from Judge Lawrewnce
Kahn's office.
‘A preliminary injunction refers to SA’s
request that the administration suspend
the bus fee before the case was heard, “It’s
a way of winning the case before it
begins,"” explained SA attorney Lewis
Oliver.
Oliver said that ‘‘we will do a certain
amount of discussing and we will make a
summary (final) judgement.’ He
suspected that SA would begin pro-
ceedings for a new case sometime in the
near future,
When asked why Judge Kahn took two
months to reach his decision, Oliver
replied, ‘Most judges take from four to
eight weeks, This was not an unusual mat-
ter at all.””

thright, a service organization to enable
women in crisis pregnancies to give birth
to their children and also in the fight
against the proposed abortion center in
Planned Parenthood on Lark Street:
A contradiction? | hope not,
Until pethaps five years ago I thought
that abortion was acceptable until maybe
the third month of pregnancy. After
carefully studying the biological and
physiological evidence however, | was
forced to change my mind.
At one month, about the time a woman
knows that she is pregnant, the fetus
already has the beginning of a heart and
brain waves, At two months the heart is
fully functioning and manufactures its own
blood, it can twitch, and between 8 to 10
weeks it can move its limbs independently,
Brain structure will be complete by 12
weeks.
But by only 7 weeks it can be determin:
ed by a microscope whether it is male or
female, it has all its major organs, limbs,
fingers, and toes, it is possible that it can
already see a little, it certainly can feel
pain
By 12 weeks there will be no difference
between a fetus and a newborn infant ex:
cept in size and in the ability to breathe air,
To me this biological evidence is very
compelling. In fact, the head of the local
group of Feminists for Life has a masters
degree in physiology and has taught
embyology.
Apart from the development argument
however, there is also the’ dependency
argument. Some argue that a fetus is not a
child if it must be dependent on another
living organism, However, when the em-
bryo was first implanted in the womb the
mother's body developed antibodies
against it; it was considered a foreign
substance. An embryo can be transplanted
in another woman's womb and develop in
a test tube, Until about 100 years ago
newborn babies were dependent on their
mother or another woman's body for
nourishment. Were they then not fully
persons? In about 20 years fetuses will be
able to be incubated outside women’s
bodies altogether so they will no lon;
have to be dependent at all on a women’s
body. If the criterion for defining whether
a fetus is a person therefore is whether or
not he is “dependent” will fetuses become
“people” when technology improves?
If there is still any doubt however since
killing people, especially babies, is so
serious, isn’t it better to ert on the side of
caution? If we were driving on a dark rainy
night and we saw something moving across
the road that we thought might possibly be
a person, wouldn't we do everything possi-
ble to avoid hitting it?
| know that many believe that this is a
personal decision. However, when a
woman's actions affect a third person,
namely her baby, it becomes my business,
The woman who has an abortion is depriv-
ing me and my children of the contribution
that child can make to my society. Who
knows how many people he/she will in-
fluence and how many lives he will change
for the better? Leonardo da Vinci, Sophia
Loren, Willy Brandt and Mahalia Jackson
were all born out of wedlock.
When I worked in that refugee center in
Costa Rica | met some pregnant unwed
women, some younger than university
age, who never considered abortions even
though they were bombed out of their
homes and were hungry. Although living
inditions in certain areas of Southeast
Asia and Africa are incredibly awful the
birthrate is very high, as it is in most im:
proverished countries... Abortion would
seem the logical alternative. Yet itis rarely
considered although it is available, Why? |
know that for the women in the refugee
center having children was an affirmation
that in spite of political and social systems
that oppressed them and considered them
superfluous, they had a right to exist and
perpetuate themselves. They were not go:
ing to buy into the mentality of their en:
vironment which was telling them to give
up and cop out.
Many university students have abor
tions because they do not want to "mess up
their lives”. It is just not “acceptable” to
bear a child out of wedlock in a "middle
class" environment, They must get their
degrees on time (not that pregnancy and
child bearing will necessarily prevent this)
and continue in a profession following the
time table set out for them by society.
But by aborting a child a university stu:
Many also believe that if so many peo-
ple do it then abortion really can’t be so
terrible. If so many people agree that it is
cock. then abortion really can't be killing a
baby. During WWII scholars legitimately
debated whether Jews were subhuman or
an inferior race. Nazi propaganda con-
tinually protrayed Jews as subhuman ver-
min. When people saw the government
rounding up Jews they may have thought
that if so many were deporting Jews then
maybe they are really subhuman after all
and do not deserve to live.
Today prejudices, discrimination, and
apartheid exist because many people who
may privately have doubts are willing to
put them aside because they see that others
exploit Blacks and the government
legitimizes it. If everybody does it, and the
government says it’s o.k. then it must be
ok, It is easy under these circumstances to
believe that Blacks really are inferior.
Slavery lasted so long in this country for
the same reason but with an added twist ~
the institution of slavery was rationalized
so that advocates believed that slavery was
actually good for the slaves! Slavery
“protected” Blacks from “economic ex-
ploitation” hunger, and unemployment in
the free labor market which was believed
to be unable to absorb Blacks. Given the
economic structure, it was rationalized,
slavery had to be permitted: there was no
choice.
.. abortion damages women. When a
woman has an abortion, she is killing a part
of herself. She is killing something that is
beautiful and awesome and was created out
of her own body.
dent is in effect giving into a system which
puts personal achievement and_ status
ahead of the rights of the individual. A
system which says that if a person cannot
be born under exactly the right conditions
heishe doesn't deserve to live; that heishe
would be superfluous and that other peo-
ple born in the “right” circumstances are
more important.

_ that. they are alive.
In the same manner abortion is ra-
tionalized as being good for children. It
prevents child abuse. It insures that all
children are raised in “quality” homes. Just
the way it Was thought that an employed
slave was better off than an unemployed
free Black so it is thought that a dead child
is better off than an abused child
This flies in the face of empirical
evidence. Several studies show that bet
Ween 70:80 percentage of abused children
were wanted. Experts believe that abuse is
not caused by being unwanted but because
Parents become frustrated that their
children cannot fulfill the parents’ unmet

Most importantly, however, abortion
damages women. When a woman has an
abortion she is killing a part of herseli, She
is killing something that is beautiful and
awesome that was created out of her own
body. Abortion, by completely divorcing
sex from its potential to produce life en
courages the perception of women as
playthings”. Also the objectification of the
fetus, which while not being the totality of
women’s sexuality is certainly closely con
nected to it, increases the objectification of
women as sex objects.
Thave never known a woman to have an
abortion because she wishes to exercise her
ideological right to control her own body
‘A woman generally has abortion because
she allows or is coerced into her body be
ing controlled by someone else. Abortion
not only encourages the sexual exploits
tion of women; it solves men’s problem. fs
it any wonder that survey after survey
shows that it is white males who are the
most supportive of abortion on demand}
Although the birth of a child does nut
necessarily strengthen a relationship, abvr
tion never does. One study of 400 couples
has shown that 70 percentage of the rela
tionships break up within a month of the
abortion. Another study had showed that
90 percentage of the relationships break up
within a year after the abortion. When a
couple agrees on abortion they are denying
the product of their most intimate sharing
the product of their union, They are den
ing the validity. of their relationship. Th
coupled with the fact that women te
quently resent their partners’ lack
port will quickly erode whatever love and
trust existed in the relationship.

The Children Defense Fund
The Children's Defense Fund (CDF) is a nationwide,
not-for-profit public charity organization, It was
established to provide long range and systematic ad-
vocacy for America's children. The organization attempts
to change policies and practices that affect children
adversely through research, education, litigation, com-
munity organization and political participation, The cen-
tral agenda of CDF is to highlight the needs of children
aid their families on the public policy charts, It is sup-
ported largely by Foundations, It has no branches or
ers and no membership.
Recently (1975) CDF, undertook an extensive research
of the major federal programs on children, The following
were the research findings of CDF:
deral funding patterns act as disincentives to the
development of strong family support programs.
ample, the major federal foster care program encourages
the break-up of families,
2, Current federal policies fail to ensure adequate pro-
cedural and substantive prot
removal and in placement, or to their families.
2, The federal government has taken an explicit stance
in favor of deinstitutionalization, Yet, there has been no
concerted effort to ensure that these deinstitutionaliza-
ion efforts in fact, are working for the interest of the
children, Legislative regulatory and fiscal provisions are
very ofter inconsistent - on the one hand, encouraging,
and on the other, discouraging the process of doing away
with institutions, ©
4, There has been insufficient federal attention paid to
the quality and comprehensiveness of care for children in
facilities that receive federal funds.
5, There has been a dramatic absence of federal com-
pliance efforts with regards to children at risk of removal
or in out-of-home placement. Federal agencies have done
little to ensure that existing program requirements are
met, They have also failed to monitor and take action
against discriminatory treatment of minority children,
6, Administrative ‘responsibility for federal programs
affecting children without homes is fragmented. Ade-
quate policy planning and coordination to ensure ad-
ministrative linkages among programs and among their
service, training and research components are virtually
non-existent,
7, The absence of useful national information bank
about children out of their homes and about the impact
of relevant federal programs prevents meaningful plann-
ing, monitoring and evaluation efforts.
Following the study, CDF has made the following
recommendations:
1, Resources development of family support services to
prevent unnecessary and inappropriate out-of-home
placements should be increased and redirected in more ef-
fective fashion,
2, Fiscal disencentives which prevent children who have
been removed from their homes from being returned
home or placed in another permanent living situation, in-
cluding adoptive homes, should be eliminated.
3, Procedural and substantive safeguards for children at
risk of removal or in out-of-home care should be required
‘as condition for receipt of federal funds.
| Dr. Japhet Zwana
4, Federal support should ensure quality care to children
‘out of their homes should be strengthened, and a consis-
tent federal policy toward deinstitutionalization
developed,
5. Specific administrative and procedural mechanisms
should be put in place to ensure (hat (he federal dollar is
used to best serve the needs of children xcted by
homelessness,
6. A body should be designated within HEW with clear
centralized administrative responsibility for major pro-
grams affecting children at risk or in need of placement
and a mechanism should be developed for cross-agency
programming, monitoring, and reporting.
“Become an active and effective advocate for Black
and poor children, We all must take a stronger, more
systematic and more programmatic interest in alleviating
the problems that affect Black children. No one has a
greater stake than we do in whether our children read,
think, write, survive, and grow up healthy. If the
widespread nutrition, health care, education and employ-
ment needs described are to be met, Black parents and
leaders must constantly raise them in public, organize to
challenge them, and vote for leaders who will do
something about them!"’
‘The foregoing hortative statement comes from none
other than Dr. Marian Wright Edelman, the Afric
‘American heroine and champion of children beset by
disadvantages.
Marian Wright Edelman is capable of “starting a fire
six feet under water with a safety match and a green two-
by-four.’” In the late 1950's she started rocking the boat.
It all began during her studency at Spelman College in
Atlanta, She recalls that she once told a friend that,
“There was never a time in the South when I didn't hate
segregation, and there was never any question that | was
going to do something to change it.”” She immediately
became a part of social groups that were interested in
drastic changes,
As a junior at Spelman, Edelman won a scholarship
that enabled her to attend the University of Geneva
Switzerland. It was in Geneva that she was able to (alk
seriously with Southern Whites, When she returned to
Spelman for her Senior year, she felt sure that she could
not be a smooth part of the traditional South. In 1960
she was leader of one of the first Southern sit-ins, discon
tinued her Russian literature studies and volunteered her
services in the NAACP. Having developed a lofty sense
of desperate need of African-American attorneys in the
liberation movement, she resolved to apply (o the Yale
Law School. At age 24, she passed her law exams and
subsequently became the first African-American woman
to pass the Mississippi bar exam. Soon, she became the
Director of the Legal Defense Fund for the Jackson
NAACP.
Within a span of four years, Edelman had successfully
bailed out civil-rights activists, pushed the public
accommodations provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act
and acted on behalf of antisegregation and welfare cases
In 1968, she became a member of the Poor People's Cam
paign which had been organized in Washington, D.C
Her passion for children who have been literally pushed
out by society led her to found the now famous
Children's Defense Fund in Cambridge Massachusetts in
1973. It is currently headquartered in Washington, D.C

Remember when you were growing up _ senior in high school he was named to the
and there was one kid that you would Daily News All-Star team as he led St.
always want to play on your team and if
he weren't on your team you really didn’t
want to play? Well that kid grew up and
now he’s playing basketball for Albany.
His name is Danny Croutier.
Croutier, who is now entering his fourth
year as the Great Danes’ starting point
guard, is a hard-nosed individual who
will never settle for second best. He will
go to any means to achieve success, He is
the type of guy who would run over his
own mother to get a loose ball
“Danny is as good a competitor as I've
ever had” said Head Coach Dick Saucrs
who is entering his 30th season as
Albany's basketball coach
It didn't take Jong for Tony Dickens to
notice what type of player Croutier is.
“Danny is a very intense type of
player.” said Dickens, who is entering his
first year as a Great Dane basketball
player. “He always gives 150 percent and
that is what | like about him."
Croutier is a fierce competitor: he
knows what it takes to win and he is will-
ing to do it. He also has one handicap for
a basketball player — he stands only 5°7
What he lacks in height he more than
makes up for in intelligence and
quickness.
‘One instance when Croutier uses his
quickness is when the opposition is tak-
ing the ball out of bounds. Croutier quiet
ly sneaks up behind the intended reci-
pient of the in-bounds pass and often
steals it. That usually results in an easy
layup for Croutier and two points for the
Danes, And then there are times when
Croutier sees where the other team’s
center is planning on tipping the ball on
jump balls. He then gets to that spot as
soon as the referee throws up the ball and
comes away with it.
But it is more than tricks and mirrors
that make Croutier so successful. He is a
very talented individual. When he was a_ty and Tim Kempton.
These all sound like pretty good Adam co-captains for the 1984-1985
wualities for_a team captain, don't they? season,
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1984 (| ALBANY STUDENT PRESS Sports Noveniber 3
Croutier: The Danes’ leader
Agnes to the Catholic High School Cham-
pionship against the likes of Matt Doher-
Well his teammates answered that ques-
tion with an emphatic yes when they
named him along with fellow guard Dave
“Danny has matured a lot since he came
here as a freshman," said Sauers, "He has
a much stronger personality and he
realizes his importance to the team.
"In many games last year the team
went as Danny went. He's the key to the
tempo of the game; he has to be a leader.”
Dane center Greg Hart echoed his
coaches sentiments,
“If he plays well we win," said the 6'5"
Hart, “He's the nucleus of the team.”
“Danny is the type of player that can
take control of a game,” said Adam,
Croutier's backcourt mate,
Croutier is a point guard personified; he
is lightning quick, he can handle the ball
with exceptional ease, thread the needle
with crisp passes, hit long range jump
shots, and speed up or slow down the
pace of a game. He also holds the Great
Dane record for most assists in three dif
ferent categories. Croutier is the all-time
Dane assist man for a single game, a
season, and a career, a record he broke
midway through his junior year.
“Danny always seems to find the open
man whether it is on the break or in the
set offense,” said John Mracek. “He
always seems to dazzle the crowd with a
pin-point pass."
“Once he (Danny) gets the ball in the
backcourt { know I can start downcourt
because he will have no trouble bringing
it up,” said Adam. “Then 1 am able to get
free for open layups because Danny is a
great long-court passer.”
‘The Danes’ opponents also realize that
as Croutier goes so do the Danes. This
results in many box-and-ones on
Croutier, which can be mighty frustrating
ona player. Especially whenn teams put a
very physical player on him to get his
Irish temper flowing,
“Teams try to provoke him," said
"Those are the types of tricks you learn
when you're 5°7".” said Croutier.

Not just a shooter
By Dean Chang
MANAGING EDITOR
Versatility is the name of Ronnie Patterson's game: in
her three years on the women's basketball team, she's
been counted on to be the team's rebounder, main
defensive player, and shooter. Despite Patterson's skills,
she does not fit the mold of your ordinary basketball
player.
In the past year, Patterson was the recipient of SUNY
Albany's Coaches Award and was named Albany's
Sportswoman of the Year. Neither honor was awarded
solely on her merits on the court.
Patterson works in the women’s training room where
she comes in contact with all the women's teams, But
outside the gym, Patterson sheds her athletic image.
Head Cgach Mari Warner characterized Patterson as
“an ideal athlete on the court, and a lady off the court.”
“Most people think that female i asketball players are
jocks,” said Patterson, "I don't wear jeans aud sneakers
all the time; I'm always dressed up.”
Patterson was captain of the team last year and will be
co-captain this year. Her roommate and backcourt part-
ner Rainny Lesane admires her leadership qualities.
“She's friends with everyone, and not just up-
perclassmen,” said Lesane. “But she wouldn't be afraid
to fell someone to stop fooling around, She makes sure
that people are doing what they are supposed to be
doing.”
When Patterson sees one of her teammates having
trouble, she is quick to come to her aid.
“rd sit on the sidelines and see what the player is do-
ing wrong,” said Patterson. .“Jill Silverman wasn't
following through on her foul shots, and I told her so.
‘Then she hit two in a row; and later on she told me she
hit seven straight.”
Patterson's biggest role on the court, aside from her
shooting, is to settle down the team. Any team with the
>
speedy Lesane is going to need some settling down.
“1 have to keep myself under control and keep the
team under control,” said Patterson. "Both have to hap-
pen at the same time, because once we lose control —
forget it. We're great when everything's settled down.”
‘Warner depended on Patterson to provide the outside
shooting for the Danes last year, and will be looking for
more of the same this season,
“Ronnie's become more consistent a shooter recent:
ly." said Warner. “‘She completes the effect of a running
team. This year, she'll be shooting literally from the
sidelines.”
Even though Patterson led the team in field-goal
percentage, she doesn't view herself as a shooter.
"1 ike playing defense the best," said Patterson. "I was
never a shooter in high school. But last year, only Rainny
and 1 would shoot, No one else would take the
initiative,
“Everybody seems to think that I have long range,”
said Patterson. “I don't think it's that long, I can't shoot
from inside the foul line; the closer I get, the worse I get.
Maybe I'm nearsighted, but the doctors always tell me
I'm 20:20."
Women’s basketball teams will be using a smaller ball
this season. Some players had a difficult time adjusting
to the new ball, but Patterson wasn't one of them,
“I don't find a real difference between the two balls,”
said Patterson, "A lot of people had to make an adjust-
ment. It is easier to shoot with."
Patterson and Lesane won't have ta worry about
others not taking shots this year. The Danes have been
strengthened inside, which translates into less shots for
the guards
“For the first time in years, we have height so we can
work it in on offense," said Patterson. "I won't have to
score as much; I'll have to look inside more.”

as they try to get back into the SUNYACs
By Mark Levine
CON | RIBUTING EDITOR
When analyzing the 1984-85 version of the
Albany State Great Danes, one tends to notice
the same strengths and weaknesses the
1983-84 squad had, What does this mean for a
team that last year failed to qualify for the
conference playoffs for the first time and suf-
fered through a mediocre 14-11 campaign?
We're going to need some new blood,”
said Dane Head Coach Dick Sauers, who
enters his 30th season. “I am not content with
the status quo."
This "new blood” could be a new starter or
two, according to Sauers, With one starter lost
from last year, there will have to be at least
‘one new face in the starting five, In addition,
there could be some new bodies on the
bench, as Well as some familiar faces at dif-
ferent positions. Despite the changes,
however, the nucleus of last year's team is
back.
Danny Croutier, a 5'7"' senior from Rockville
Centre, returns for his fourth year as the star-
ting point guard, If there is a “straw that stirs
the drink" of the Great Danes it is in the form
of the feisty Croutier, who will be expected to
orchestrate the tempo of the game from his
point guard position.
Most of Albany's outside scoring in 1984-85
should come from the off guard position,
where Dave Adam heads into his senior year,
The 5'11" Schenectady native's perimeter
shooting was one of the Danes’ most potent
weapons last year, as his highlights included a
20 fone game against Montclair State, an
11-for-12 shooting performance against Union,
All-Tournament honors in the Capital District
Tournament; and the MVP trophy in the
Danes’ Christmas Tournament.
“We need Dave to go to the hoop more this
year and get fouled,” Sauers commented.
“But his outside shooting was definitely a plus
for us last year, and he and Danny in the
backcourt should be our biggest asset this
year."
The final starting slot that seemed set in
preseason was at small forward, where 6'4"
sophomore Adam Ursprung should get the
nod, The lanky Catskill resident was Albany's
leading rebounder as a freshman last season
and its most consistent inside scoring threat.
His tise to potential greatness included a
marvelous 15-point, 11-rebound game in a key
overtime win against Potsdam, His play as a
sophomore should only improve, and this is
good news for the Great Danes, assuming he
can recover fully from off-season arthroscopic
knee surgery.
“The two guards and Ursprung look solid at
first glance," said Sauers, "The other two posi-
tions are cloudy,”
The two post positions are Albany's main
concern, and this was where the Danes were
hurt the most last year. “We've got to get
more inside scoring this year," Sauers noted.
“We didn’t get enough of that from our big
men last year except from Ursprung, and that
hurt us.""
One candidate for the other starting posi-
tions is Greg Hart, a 6'5” senior from Red Oak
Mills. On a two-week trip to France in early
June, Hart impressed Sauers immensely and
helped the Danes win all four of their games
against the foreign teams.
“Greg played the best in France of all the
ostmen,” Sauers observed. “His size and
uulk (220 pounds) are an intimidation factor |
out there, and if he can improve on his inside
moves he should help.”
Last year's starting center for most of the
ear was Pete Gosule, and the 6'8" senior
from Commack is back for his third year of
varsity play. Gosule played well early last [i
year, including a strong performance in the
Christmas Tournament, but then saw his play
tail off toward the end of the year. Sauers
hopes Gosule can be more consistent this
season and hopes to use his height as more of
an advantage inside.
The other big man returning from last year's
team is John Mracek, a 6'5" junior from Hud-
son Falls, Mracek is easily the best outside
shooter on the front line, and if his defense
and rebounding can improve from last season
he should see a great deal of playing time.
“John shot very well and came along well
last year," Sauers said, in reference to
Mracek’s being named the team’s Most Im-
proved Player. ‘He's .a great threat
offensively.”
Rich Chapman is up from last year's JV
squad, and he could also see minutes up front.
Despite his apparent lack of height (6'2"),
Chapman mixes it up well down low and is
very physical.
“Rich has a tendency to foul too much
sometimes, but he’s tough down low and he
has a nose for the ball that the other big men
don't have."
‘One newcomer will have a good chance of
making the team up front. Tony Dickens, a
sophomore, is a transfer from Orange
Community College, and Sauers characteriz-
him as “a strong player who works hard in’
there,
The two people most likely to back up
Croutier and Adam at the guard positions are
Doug Kilmer and Brian Kauppila, both of
whom saw action in 1983-84. Kilmer possesses

a fine outside shooting tomand he played
well at times last year. butthust show more
confidence to be more efftgive this season.
Kauppila saw action at forrard last year, but
Sauers said there is a possbllity that he may
be moved to the big guardspot.
Also likely to fill a role athpth the off guard
and small forward position $s Jan Zadoorian,
a 6'3" senior from Lintos| High School in
Schenectady. Zadoorian isone of the Danes’
better defensive players ajwell as being a
strong rebounder. His vegatility and ex-
perience could be countel on heavily in
1984-85.
The final backcourt spot puld be filled by
freshman John Carmello of Albany High
School. “With Danny and Dave graduating
we're going to have to develp somebody this
year, John has a good chante of making the
team. He's a good leaper antl is very good in

SPORTS WRITER
Perhaps the greatest transition for the Albany
women's basketball team of 1984-85, aside from
losing one player to graduation and becoming
accustomed to the play of a handful of
newcomers, will be in the one inch smalled siz-
ed basketballs all colleges and community col-
leges are using now in women's play.
Similar to a junior basketball, this new regula-
tion ball is one inch less in circumference than
the men’s. This is the first year this size basket-
ball is mandatory for women. Next year high
schools will adopt the ball. In women’s interna-
tional play there has been no change.
Head Coach Mari Warner finds a noticeable
difference in ball handling and shooting.
“he players are making crisper passes and
there has been an increased range in shooting,”
said Warmer. So far she hasn't noticed an im-
provement on their inside game as was
predicted by the implementors.
Returning player Kim Kosalek voiced the
team's opinion that “the smaller basketball is
easier to handle," and predicts they'll be less
turnovers in the long run.
‘Wamer considers this year's crop “a good
combination of both young and old.” These
women hoopsters are just that. With veterans
Rainny Lesane, Ronnie Patterson, Chris Can-
nata, Diane Fernandes, Kosalek, Nancy Grasso
and Debra Logan leading the way, this season
should outshine last year’s 15-10 record, ECAC
bid, and first place in the Capital District
‘Tournament.
A key to the team's offense and defense is
third year member Lesane at guard. "She's a
strong player,"" said Warmer. Lesane received
AIlSUNYAC, ECAC and Capital District All-
Tournament Honors last season. She will be a
definite factor in this season's outcome.
A fourth-year veteran, Ronnie Patterson, is
also a guard. Wamer said, “Ronnie has a good
outside shot with exceptional range and is real-
ly quick.” With Lesane, Patterson will be the
key to the Dane fast break.

Two veterans at the guard/forward position
are senior Cannata and junior Femandes, "Both
play the position well and we will be looking
for them to shoot the ball. They are also an im-
portant part of breaking any zone,” said
‘Warner.
Forward Kosalek is a two-year veteran. "She's
5°10" which is a good size,” said Warner, “She
moves well, shoots well and is a good
rebounder.”
Center Grasso, a senior, is out with a knee in-
jury. She will be coming back hopefully before
Christmas,
Logan, a junior, is a backup at point guard,
“Debra has come a long way ~ she’s handling
the ball with more confidence and has good yer-
tical jump," said Warner. She'll be looked for to
help out Lesane at the point and Patterson with
shooting.
As for the incoming players, Warmer feels
they've caught on well and predicts good team
unity:
Freshman Donna Hughes, from Catholic Cen-
tral High School in Troy, plays the guard
position.
“she's a pure shooter,” said Warner, “We'll
look for her to take more shots, She's very calm
and knows the game well."*
Also in the guard position is Maureen McBride
from Oxford, another shooter with good range.
‘A “jumper” who will shoot the ball, is Julie
Hotmer another freshman. "All she needs now
is consistancy,’ said Warner of the
guard/forward.
From Unadilla is another newcomer, Jenny
Pendergast at the guardiforward spot. "She
knows the game well and has a good outside
shot," said Warner.
A transfer from St. John Fischer is 5°11" Lori
Bayba. Bayba is a rebounder who will add
strength under the boards, Warmer said, ‘she's
a strong player with a good outside shot and
good range."
Another newcomer is sophomore Jill Silver-
man, a 5'8" forward, ‘She's not very tall, but
very aggressive on defense,” said Warner. “She
gets the garbage rebounds by being aggressive,
‘The women hoopsters have a lot of depth.
“Everyone should contribute," said Warner,
She predicts they will be quick, break a lot, and
play a lot of man-to-man defense,
‘They play a tough schedule. Their first three
games will be difficult. Tough competition will
come from Oneonta and Cortland in the
SUNYAC conference, Division II St. Michaels,
RPI, and Hamilton,
‘They play RPI on Tuesday November 20 at
7:00 p.m, away, "RPI is always a tough game,
Weill have to play well,” said Warmer, pointing
out they'll have to cut down on tumovers,
The team's home opener {s on Tuesday,
November 27 at 7:00 p.m. in University Gym
against SUNYAC rival Oneonta.
he Red Dragons of Oneonta, the defending
SUNYAC finalists:, will serve as a good
barometer tor Albany this season.
If we can beat Oneonta, then we'll have a
pretty good idea of where we stand," said Pat-
terson. o

A look at the SUNYAC East
By Marc Berman
SPORTS EDITOR
Potsdam Head Coach Jerry Welsh has
done it again. Just when it looks like
Potsdam might be slipping from their
comfortable perch atop the SUNYAC East,
he puts on his recruiting shirt and lands
three Division 1 transfers.
Four starters were lost to graduation,
but Welsh has more than adequately
replaced them adding transfer John
Leonard, Brendon Mitchell, and Troy
Turner, all from the Capital District area,
With point guard Roosevelt Bullock
ready to turn into an premier player, ac-
cording to Potsdam Sports Information
Director Kevin Williams, Potsdam figures
to once again finish in the top spot of one
of the toughest conferences in Division
ML,
Albany State has four returning starters,
and should return to the SUNYAC
playoffs after a years hiatus.
Binghamton and Plattsburgh are ex-
pected to battle for third. Colonial Head
Coach Dave Archer is still letting his
players race up and down the court like
thoroughbreds,
Oneonta lost all its starters and forgot to
replace them. But they won't finish lower
than Cortland, a team that sported a 1-22
record last season. They will improve, but
not by much,
Potsdam
Jerry Welsh, landed three Division 1
transfers, John Leonard, Brendon Mit-
chell, and Troy Turner over the summer.
With Roosevelt Bullock now starting,
Potsdam is solid in every aspect.
(On paper, there's no better team in all
of the SUNYACs,
Returning Letterman- Rick Whi
the only returning starter, He is 6'5" and
was second in scoring and rebounding
last season,
Bullock, the sixth man last year, is now
running th offense, He’ is everything a
playmaking guard should be: quick, great
penetrator, super passer, and his hands
transfers, Leonard and
Mitchell, are tall, physical, and love to re-
bound, Leonard sat on the bench at Fair-
field University while Mitchell a grad
from Mount Pleasant, played for North
Carolina Avr.
‘The other transfer, Turner, is rotating
with Tim Horns at the shooting guard
position,
The same players on the bench last year
are still around: 6'6" Ed Okuniewski;
Brooklyn born Barry Stanton, and Shaker
High's Tom Conboy,
Players lost- Four starters, former All-
American guard Leroy Litherspoon, Scott
Culler, Marty Groginski, and Pat
Crawford have said bye-bye to Maxey
Hall. Witherspoon, trying out for the
CBA’s Albany Patroons, was cut last
night.
Strengths. Potsdam is potent in every
department. They have dominating re-
bounders, quick guards, quick forwards,
and.a super bench, Their defense is ag-
gressive: look for Bullock to come up with
a bunch of steals,
‘Their bench couldn't be deeper. Welsh
has 10 players that can play and he
doesn’t hesitate to use them,
Weaknesses- Possibly their only weak
point, is shooting beyond the 18-foot
mark,
Versus Albany- In one of the most
nailbiting games in their historic rivalry,
Albany and Potsdam slugged it out at the
University Gym in front of a full house
with the Danes the winner in overtime
62-56,
In their other meeting earlier in the
season, Potsdam broke open a close game
midway through the second half and won
by a landslide.

Expectations They will finish on top
unless there are detrimental injuries or
some amazing upsets. Welsh won't bold
y say it, but he never does.
Prediction-First
Binghamton
There will be a few new faces, but
Binghamton will still be running and gun-
ning with the same amount of consisten-
cy as last season,
In Coach Dave Archer's initial season,
the Colonials speeded to a 16-10 clip
which was one of the best seasons in re-
cent history for them. All-SUNYAC Derek
Pankey and Spider Pollard are no longer
dressing in a Colonial uniform, but
Binghamton still looks tough this season,
Returning Lettermen- Three out of five
starters are back, 6'6" senior center Mary
Young, senior guard Greg Fleming, and
senior forward Derek Harrison. Senior
guard Caspar Ellis, a reserve last season,
will also start along with transfer. Tom
Coleman.
But the key to Binghamton is their deep
bench, which allows them to run, run,
run without tiring at the finish. The two
key reserves include two 6'6" forwards.
Steve Andrieath, a transfer, and Mike
Schuman, a member of junior varsity last
season.
Senior Maurice Salama, who as a spot
starter, will provide pressure defense off
the bench,
Players lost- Besides Pankey, the tenth
player in the nation in rebounds, and
Spider Pollard, the career assist leader,
the Colonials lost a very promising
freshman in Mark Wright. He transferred
to NYU,
Strenghs- This team will run the ball
down your throat and are able to because
of their long bench. They're quick, fast.
and Archer is a prophet with the fast:
break offense. With Young and Harrison
clearing the boards, the outlet pass
should become a common thing for
Binghamton Basketball
pean is also a factor: four out of
the five starters are seniors.
Weaknesses- Archer points out that
Binghamton is not comfortable with the
slow down game. That might prove costly
in the closing moments of a tight game
Versus Albany- They met three times last
year, During the regular, Albany was
triumphant on Binghamton's home court
and vice-versa. In the opening round of
the ECACs, Binghamton got the last
laugh, beating the Danes at the buzzer.
Expectations- They should battle Albany
for second place,
“We're as good as last year,” said Ar-
cher, "I want to be better.”
Prediction-Third
Plattsburgh- Detailed information
unavailable,
Prediction-Fourth
Oneonta
Last year's SUNYAC playoff qualifiers
will be “starting from scratch,” says
Oneonta’s Coach Don Flewelling.
Oneonta was decimated by graduation,
losing all of last season's starting five. The
departure of All-Everything Mike Pocyn-
tyluk will hurt the most. In his four years
as a Dragon, Pocyntyluk broke every scor-
ing and rebounding record the school
could offer.
This year's squad is compromised of
zero seniors, two juniors, five sophmores,
and four freshman. They are not likely to
reproduce last year's 16-10 record, which
was enough for second place in the
Division,
Returning letterman- The only returnees
from last year's unit are sophmore point
guard Tom Combs and junior forward Al
Bishop, two players who received limited
duty. This season, the 6'4” Bishop is ex-
pected to be a major force inside along
with two 6'6" novices, freshman Steve
Boumfield and forward Randy Irons, a
sohpmore who out his freshman with a
busted knee. Coach Flewelling is hoping
Irons has not lost the mobility he used to
possess.
A Schenectady product and Bishop Gib-
bons grad, Jimmy Johnson, will start at
the other guard, Off the bench look for
freshman Brian Croutier, brother of
Albany State guard Danny Croutier: to
supply some punch, if not this season,
surely in the years to come,
Key losses- Each member of the starting
five averaged double figures, but now
they all have departed, Beside Pocyn-
tyluk, freshman John Ebanks will be sore-
ly missed, He dropped out of school
because of personal problems, according
to Flewelling. Guard Danny Bagan, Steve
Campbell, and 6'6" forward Charlie
Stroud are the other lost members of last
year's playoff team.
Strengths- They've got a tall starting
front line that averages 6'5", They also
have a positive attitude, according to
Flewelling, and plenty of enthusiasm,
characteristic of a young squad
Weaknesses- Inexperience is the key
There are no seniors and the team con:
tains nine underclassmen. The bench is
also very questionable.
Versus Albany- The Red Dragons dealt
the final blow to Albany State's SUNYAC
playoff aspirations, In the final conference
game of the season, Oneonta rudely
defeated Albany to deny the Danes
playoff berth.
Expectations: Flewelling is a super coach
and usually finds a way to win, But the
odds are stacked against him. He readily
admits it, "What are there, six teams?” he
asked rhetorically. "We'll probably finish
sixth."
Prediction: Fifth
Cortland
Coach Bill Williams does not want to
talk about last season.
When asked about the players he lost
from last year's dreadful 1-22 season, he
snapped: “Don't talk to me about last
year, If you want to talk to me, it has to be
about this year.’
Coach Williams is expecting his club to
climb back to respectability. He has his
power forward returning, Mike Stokes,
who averaged 24 points a game.
‘After that, Williams’ team is comprised
of a number of transfers and first year
players.
Returning Letterman- Geoff Houston
and Dave Wilson are returning from last
ear's dismal club, but they are presently
jurt. Houston is expected to return se
cond semester.
Al Scott, a freshman, will start at guard
joined by Bill Bowe a transfer from Alfred
Tech, Junior Dave McCurity who missed
last year dur to an injury, will start at one
forward along with a transfer from Buf-
falo University, Mark Winescoop. A 6'5"
guard, John Long, will provide scoring
punch off the bench,
Strengths- The team has a considerable
amount of depth this season and their re-
bounding, which was abysmal last year.
has gotten stronger, according to their
coach,
Weaknesses- They are a young team and
nobody has played with each other
before, It might take a while before the
players become comfortable with each
other.
Versus Albany: Like all the other teams,
Albany State stomped Cortland twice by
scores exceeding 20,
Expectations- Coach Williams believes
his team will rise out of the cellar,
“L think we're going to be looking at
another team down there,” said
Williams. “We're going to better next
year.”
It is believed that better’ still won't
boost them out of last in the rugged
SUNYAC East.
Prediction-Last.

Sauers, “They even tried to pro-
voke him in the LeMoyne scrim-
mage, but I think he has leamed
that he has to control himself in
those situations."
In the past it has been a dif-
ferent story. Croutier has let his
temper get the best of him. In the
SUNYAC tournament, his
freshman year, Croutier resorted
to fisticuffs when he was taunted
by a Buffalo player, Croutier got
himself into all kinds of trouble
that season. In his freshman
year, Croutier received five
technical fouls as compared to
the six that Sauers had received
in the 26 years previous to that,
But there is a good side to that
also, It seems to pump the team
up when, they are playing
uninspired basketball, according
to his teammates,
“It brings the team together,"
said Hart, "Sometimes he even
plays better when he gets mad,"
Said Adam, “He wants us to
win so much that when we are
playing lackadaisically he will do
what he thinks it {s necessary to
fire us up."
Croutier is also known for be-
ing a very clutch player, When a
game comes down to the wire
Croutier is the man that the
Danes count on.
“I like to take control at the
end of games," said Croutier.
“That way if | make a mistake |
only get mad at myself."
But those mistakes are few and
far between, Last season
Croutier had hit 64 out of his 68
second half foul shots for an ex-
ceptional 94 percent. He is the
centerpiece of Albany's delay of-
fense in the waning moments of
games, but those days are now
over. The SUNY Conference has
instituted a 45-second shot clock
for conference games, This will
limit Croutier's foul line
appearances.
“I don’t even notice the shot
clock," said Croutier. “I probably
won't notice it until the end of
games, That's when I'll lose my
10 points. But it will only be on
for conference games and onl
have 10 of our 25 games are wit
conference teams.”
As far as predictions for the
season Croutier is
characteristically optimistic,
"Out of our 25 games,” said
Croutier, “I expect us to win 19
or 20, even though our schedule
is one of the toughest in Division
ite
Besides playing tough con-
ference foes like Potsdam and
Oneonta, Albany will host its an:
nual Christmas Tournament that.
will feature nationally-ranked
Division Il Springfield, the
University of Buffalo, and Jersey
City State, a winner of over 20
games last season.
But with Croutier at the point,
Albany should be in every game
they play because he is one of
the premier guards in Division III
basketball,
“He's the best guard I've ever
played with," said Adam, “He
should score his 1,000th point in
the first few games of the season,
If Danny plays as well as he can,
and not get carried away, he is
the best guard in our league,
“[ have to guard him oneon-
one every day in practice and it's
always a battle, I would definite-
ly rather have Danny on my

She didn’t even play basketball in her
senior year at Nottingham High School.
“L didn't get along well with the coach,”
said Patterson, “I'd rather work to save
money for college.""
When Patterson arriyed at Albany, she
heard a lot of negative talk about
Albany's basketball program.

were telling me they had problems with

however, lacks experience and needs to
improve his defensive skills, He'll be
spending time on both the varsity and the
junior varsity basketball teams,
Albany will once again face a top-quality
schedule, Potsdam and Oneonta should
be the Danes’ toughest competition in the
conference, and the non-conference op-
ponents include such perennially tough
schools as Hartwick, Montclair State,
Hamilton, Staten Island and Union, as
well as the Christmas Tournament which
featiires Division Il Springfield, Buffalo
University and Jersey City State, a
20-game winner last year,
Sauers enters his 30th year as Albany's
their talent,
“it’s funny because I ended up playing
more than anybody that year," said Pat-
terson. “There's not an ounce of prejudice
in (former Dane Coach) Kidder or Coach
Warner.”
‘One of the team's problems last year
was getting mentally prepared for every
opponent. Patterson won't let it happen
again this year.
“Ym going to make sure that we're
ed for every game," said Patterson.
“L will be a rah-rah type if I have to, If 1

be psyched for every game.” fa)
head coach with 479 career wins. He has
never had a losing season, and to say he is
a plus would be one of history's greatest
understatements,
The Danes will have something new to
deal with this year in the SUNYACs, and
it might have a significant effect on every
conference game they play — a 45-second
shot clock. Time will tell if the clock will
hurt or help Albany.
Basically, the Danes’ fortunes are almost
identical to last year: they will rest in the
strength of the guards. If the Danes can
get some scoring from close to the basket
then they could make a return ap-
pearance to the conference playoffs. If
not, it could be another season of
mediocrity. a

‘the Editor:
fe recently observed an extremely disturbing event in
Rathskellar on Saturday, November 17. We witnessed.
pur campus police an apalling lack of respect and sen-
ity for campus visitors.
three of us had gone into the Rat at approximately
p.m. planning on a relaxing drink. Soon afterward a
p of 8 guys sat down at the table next to us, and ask-
s to join them, It seems they were visiting from the
versity of Massachusetts after having participated in a
fstling competition during the day. At first, we didn’t
ve them because they didn’t fit our stereotype of
restlers"”. They were not loud, boisterous or the
facho”” type. Rather, they were polite, well-mannered
very gentleman-like,
ter an hour o so of getting to know them, one of the
left the table ¢0 use the bathroom. Subsequently, we
in to notice a disturbance of some sort by the bar
. Apparently, the member who had just left the table
approached by 2 males who allegedly attempted to
fa gold chain right off the gentleman's neck, When it
realized that their friend was in destress, the seven
sitting with us got up to see if their aid was needed.
jort fight ensued and within seconds one of the team
bers’ hand was bleeding profusely. University P.
ved almost immediately and took control of the situa-
, separating the opposing sides.
@Upon calling 5-Quad for their assistance, the Universi-
Jolice began to question the visiting team members and
ihgtwo alleged thieves. It seems there were two very dif-
t stories explaining the incident. When asked if he
Eited to press charges, the accosted member declined,
wanting to prolong the issue.

leave the Rat. In attempting to learn what hospital their
friend was going to be taken to for stitches, the police, in
no uncertain words, and in a very loud tone, insisted the
visitors leave the Rat. Upon observing all of this, we felt
our opinion could be of some use. One of us decided it
was our duty to speak up, hoping to abolish the nasty, ac-
cusing attitude that the policemen were using on the team
members. Not only did the policemen feel that the visitors
had incited the incident, but moreover informed us that
they were ‘‘very close to being thrown in Having
been with these gentlemen for the last two hours already,
it was clear to us that not only did they not instigate the
argument, but even at this point, were still maintaining
their sense of rational behavior,
We were appalled at the unfair attitude used by the
University Police in this matter, We believe this incident
not only made the University Police look bad, but has
surely tarnished Albany's fine image, both in the eyes of
‘our U. Mass visitors’ and more importantly, in the eyes of
its own students that witness this tragedy.
We are not able to sign our names due to an implied
threat that was made by one of the alleged thieves who
was not even searched by the police, How can we feel pro-
tected when our own police don't try 10 get to the bottom
of what really happened, don't search assailants when
there is a possibility of a knife-inflicted wound, and don't
protect visitors that have come to Albany's campus, in
good faith, to compete in sports events?

To the Editor:
An issue of frequent concern in today's world is that of
the arm’s race. With the number of weapons and delivery
systems increasing at alarming rates, we need to put an
end to this race and insure a safer world for all of us.
In recent days, proposals have been made by both sides
to open up new negotiation talks. This is an important
step in the search for an arms control agreement and
hopefully a reduction of existing arms, But this cannot be
accomplished unless it is actively pursued,
On November 28, NYPIRG will be sponsoring a
discussion on this delicate issue. It is being presented to
enlighten people and provide an opportunity for input.
Since this issue affects us all, whether we like it or not, I
urge you to join us and get involved. Please show your
support by aitending this seminar. Let's actively pursue a
solution to this problem.

To the Editor:
Tam a senior who has lived off-campus for the past 3
years. Presently, 1 am located in the heart of the ‘student
ghett
It is my contention that many students feel that they are
safe in this area because they are surrounded by so many
other students. Unfortunately, this is just not the case,
Early last week, in the middle of the day, my apartment
was burglarized. The people doing this are good at their
work, The intruder entered the house just 15 minutes
after I left for school, He was able io maintain his
character and get away with money, a camera, and my
jewelry even after geing discovered by people from the
floor below me.
Not only am I extremely upset about the monetary and
great sentimental loss of my possessions, but I am
disgusted at the invasion of the privacy of my own
bedroom.
Iam writing this letter, not only to express the deep
anger that is within myself, but also to express a genuine
concern for other’students,
I would like to take this opportunity to warn students
that we live in a realy city; not our own little Disney
World.
You never know if your apartment will be next so don’t
make life easy for an intruder, Keep all jewelry, money,
cameras and all other valuables out of sight. Put things in
drawers or closets, It may not be as convenient as having
a jewelry box on your drewwer, however, I assure you it is
worth the small effort involved, After all, what good is a
jewelry box when you have nothing to store in it?
P.S. Does anybody want to buy a jewelry box?

Backwards thinking
To the Editor:
I find the view of Reverend Mitchel Smith in the
“Satanic influence of Rock and Roll” article in the Fri-
day, November 16 ASP is laughable, He has no concept
of what rock and roll is, Listening to records backwards,
as far as I know, is only done by reactionary types, and
people bent on destroying their record collection. 1 saw
no mention of John Lennon, debatably one of the finest
humanitariar of our times, who invented the technique
of backwards r--or«’"ng. John McLaughlin is a devotee of
Eastern religior, and should not be expected to show any
Christian influen... Aqualung (the album, not the song)
by Ian and Jeanie Anderson is a commentary on the way
the church (Catholic and Anglican) has twisted the words
of Christ for their own benefit, ‘Leather and Chains”
heavy metalists have no concept of what they are writing
about, They use symbols such as pentangles mainly, for
shock value to impress young teen boys.
Rock and roll words are hard enough to decipher going
forward. Has anyone tried to understand the words to
“Louie, Louie” or “Green Grass and High Tides!"? I
think the Reverend may be mistaken on his interpreta~
tions of words that may possibly have been recorded
backwards.
I challenge Reverend Smith to give the latest Christy
Lane or Phil Keaggy album the same scrutinity,

Growing up
To the Editor:
When we were in junior high school, perhaps even hi
school, it was thought to be hilarious to engage in
cafeteria food fights, mark up the walls with meaningless
graffiti, or to tear down an occasional poster, After all,
“we were just kids."” Now, supposedly past all of the im-
mature actions, we are attending a university, The
students are considered adults and are expected to act as
such. Unfortunately, ‘'such"* is not the case in recent
weeks at SUNYA, where a sever outbreak of vandalism
has threatened our environment, and more importantly,
‘our lives,
Just a few weeks ago, a bottle was thrown through a
skylight on Colonial Quad, shattering it and nearly strik-
ing a student, There have been several reports of bottles
being tossed out of the upper-level tower floors, Believe it
or not, furniture such as dressers have been dropped over
balconies. Broken windows, destroyed vending machines,
exploded fire extinguishers. . .the list is endless, It seems
that some students not only graduated from high school
to a “higher institution of learning," but also graduated
from being immature practical jokers to vandals,
The attacks have not been limited to dormitory equip-
ment. The special facilities for the handicapped have been
a prime target. The doors they use have been destroyed,
ssible lower case bulletin board at the cam-
er information desk was vandalized, These
ties are necessary for the handicapped, and often
they cannot be repaired immediately, More importantly,
it poses and inconvenience that cannot be readily
remedied.
i time for the students at SUNYA to unite against
this dangerous activity. One day you yourself might be
the victim. Imagine yourself being the person under the
skylight when a bottle crashes through it, Or having a fire
in your room and no extinguisher with which to put it
out, Or walking outside your building when a bottle is
tossed from a window above, Or being a handicapped
person who cannot use their special door or read current
information at the Campus Center. Or a student who can-
not get a can of soda or a candy bar from the vending
machine or even do laundry. If this outbreak continues,
you may be one or more of the above.
‘The unfortunate result of the damage being incurred is
that the entire student body pays a price. Damage fees
will increase drastically for those who live in the residence
halls. The professional staff will place more restrictions
on parties and alcohol in an attempt to curb property
destruction. Vending machines will cease to exist, and we
will lose their convenience. The handicapped will suffer
from the loss of necessary facilities that cannot be
repeatedly repaired or replaced. Overall, the majority of
the students who will suffer are not those who are respon-
sible for it.
Before the situation reaches more dangerous heights,
the students must try to deter vandalism. Step forward
and reveal any information you might have to your RA or
director, If you are aware of a potential problem, report
it, Speak to your friends and spread the word, If we want
to enjoy an active educational and social life at SUNYA,
the vandatism must come (o an end. If you are one of
those responsible for it, think of the consequences and
don’t do it. If you know of an incident, report it. And
then we'll all be better off.

month, The event drew a sparse
crowd and vocal protest, resulting
in heavy financial losses for
Speaker’s Form.
Mike Berman, secretary of
Speaker's Forum, said “the big-
gest problem with Anne Burford
was she was never voted on, the
chair, Ricky Feldman, made the
decision and (an) official vote was
never held.’”
When told of Berman's com-
ments, Feldman said, ‘Mike's
mistaken. 1 know a vote was
taken and it clearly passed."”
Fanny Trataros, who was vice-
chair under Feldman and became
chair after his resignation, said,
“Anne Burford was voted on and
it passed within the group.”
Although she had been vice-
chair at the time that complaints
began to surface within the
group, Trataros explained, ‘No
‘one came to me with the problems
because I'm a personal friend of
Ricky's.
A member of Speaker's Forum
who asked not to be identified
said, “A lot of people in the
group went to the SA office with
complaints ... they took our com-
nts and added it to complaints
they had (and) gave him a choice
of going before Internal Affairs
(Committee) or resigning. The
group as a whole was not happy
with him,"
According to Feldman, “this is
the first time I've heard of that
SA had nothing to do with my
decision, my main concern was
for the group."
The group member who did not
want to be identified said, “There
were really a fot of things he
(Feldman) did wrong. He violated
the constitution and_ appointed
his friends to the committees in-
stead of voting on them, Now we
vote on them."
Feldman asserted that at a
Speaker's Forum meeting earlier
this year, he asked members if
they were interested in chairing
committees,

Peace movement
<5)
Speaking as a guest in the
SUNYA President's Lecture
Series, Young said that peace
movements ‘‘have a tradition go-
ing back 180 years and have failed
in all kinds of ways," by not
preventing wars or banning par-
ticular weapons,

Young said he feels that the
“new breed’.
speaker
United States “ is ignorant of the
European people on the side of
the peace movements,” and that
“new constituencies have been
activated” against further build-
ups of nuclear weapons,
The European movement has
“moved beyond anti-U.S. feel-
ings’? and has been ‘less aligned
with pro-Soviet_ Communism,”
Young said, calling the idea of
non-alignment ‘very exciting,”
He added that the movement, has
been associated exclusively with

tion, Nizen said, ‘‘they want us to
succeed, but they don’t give us
money to succeed with."*
“We're working with six
flashlights and buttons,"” Nizen
stated, adding ‘we didn’t get any
of the things they said we would

inal plans, he said, were
for escorts to re “Don't

. To cut costs, however,
corts have been provided only
with number buttons they must
Wear while on duty.
‘Another problem, according to
Nizen, has been unreliable
“80 percent are
he admitted, ‘but
there's always that 20 percent.”
Nizen said that escorts work in
pairs, and there were only two
escorts assigned per quad, so if
even one escort doesn’t show for
a shift, people can't be escorted
from that location.
When asked whether his
volunteering was worth the time
he put in, Nizen said, ‘'I'd say yes
normally, but the disorganization
makes my say no. We could be
doing a lot more if we had more
funds; more organization.””
John Harmon, an escort from
State Quad, said “It (‘Don't
Walk Alone’’) is effective for
those who know about it (but) it's
not popular yet,"” adding, ‘they
gave us some training, but it’s not
stated how you go about your job
as escorts.""
Harmon suggested that the
quad escorts set up tables like the
opposition to the Pershing and
Cruise missles since 1979, but that
a European ‘‘nuclear free zone”
had been their broader goal.
‘The new movement, according
to Young, has placed less em-
phasis on parties and political in-
volvement, and more on mass ap-
peal. “There is a community
base,"” Young said, adding that
many localized nuclear free zones
now exist in Europe, voted into
place by local citizens.
escorts in the library’ have and
perhaps wear their buttons all the
time, so they can be identified as
escorts whenever needed.
Stressing that it is important
for escorts to be visible, Harmon
also suggested escorting students
from the gym and setting up relay
station so that escorts don't have
to leave their stations empty for
long periods while escorting
someone,
“T don't think many students

When asked if he foresees the
possibility of a student screaming

Duanuane replied, “Not here, it's

“1 think you could tell the dif-

‘Anyone planning to stay on the

‘One international student from

that she had formulated plans to

‘One dismayed student said she

For the most part, the turkey
and the date have now become
solidified as part of American
tradition.
Even during that period of
havoc in 1939, there was never
any doubt about that tradition in
the mind of Mrs, W.M. Venable,
of Atlanta, Georgia,
Venable adjusted to the date
but nearly “lost her

of her house while her husband
was at a football game with the

talented individual,"” said
Hamilton, ‘The department
needed a person and there wasn't
a large number of candidates
available. They chose him, con-
sidering that a langauge problem
is improveable.””
Economics Chair Pong Lee
said that this was the first year the
department has hired instructors
whose fluency in English was in-
adequate, ‘There are times when
you can’t help it because there's
no one else,” said Lee, ‘We try
not to hire people who can’t com-
municate well. In this case, I'm
not sure that it might be in-
tolerance on the part of students,
But in the future, I'll do my best

Kendall said, chairs are limited in
their alternatives. Instead of hir-
ing a foreign graduate student,
she explained, the department

candidates, or
they can cnoose not to offer the
class at all.
“There are lots of students and
very few faculty, so we need
teachers," said Kendall. “The
question is, who do you put in
there? The foreign students have
a good knowledge but those who
can’t communicate shouldn't be
teaching, But when the alternative
is to not offer classes, we don’t
have much of a choice.””
In an informal random poll
taken by the ASP, more than half
of the students polled said that
they had been taught by an in-
structor that couldn't speak
English well. But Hamilton
disregards the poll’s results,
“Vm not going to take the ef-
fort to make changes if 50 percent
of the students say that there’s a
problem," said Hamilton. “‘As a
society, we tend to be intolerant
of differences. When you ask
students the question, they'll say
yes but that doesn’t mean that
there was a problem, 95 percent
of the students would complain
about the dorm food, but that

RO NBC is an equal opportunity employer
goals is to expose students to
other cultures. He said it is
“enriching to have foreigners
among us,"" and although there
might be a language problem, it
has been exaggerated by students,
But some SUNYA ad-
ministrators’ views appear to be
in conflict with Hamilton's.
Chesin asserted, “My judgement
is that if enough people tell me
that they had problems with pro-
fessors with strong accents, then
there is a problem. But before we
remedy it, we must determine if it
is a small problem or if it’s
widespread. It could be just a
handful of people with bad
accents,"”
In the informal survey taken by
the ASP, four academic depart-
ments, Economics, Computer
Science, Math and Physics, were
mentioned repeatedly as depart-
ments with instructors who don’t
speak English well.
Rob Marinelli, a junior, recall-
ed taking ECO 300 under Pro-
fessor Kwan Koo Yun. “It was
silly for me to even go to class
when you could barely unders-
tand a word he said,” said
Marinelli, adding ‘the only per-
son who spoke worse than him
was his TA."”
Senior Seth Myles said he feels
that “basically the problem lies
with TA’s teaching lower-level
classes. With upper-level classes,
there hasn’t been that much of a
problem."’ As a second-semester
sophomore, Myles said he had no
idea of what was going on in his
Economics class. “I had to go
back and try to memorize the
book,” he said, adding “there's
so much material to study in
Economics that's it's only fair for
the professor to tell you what's
going on, But you just couldn't
understand him,
Deirdre Sanders, a junior, said it
was important to give foreign
students a chance to teach. ‘‘Just
because they have accents doesn’t
mean they should be prevented
from teaching," said Sanders.
“But they should show the
capacity to understand English
and be understood by students,"”
she added.
In Physics 105, Sanders recall-
ed, Professor Jagadish Garg h
difficulty understanding —ques-
tions from students. ‘You feel
that the lack of communication is
directly affecting your understan-
lding of the material,” said
Sanders.
Junior Jackie Corbelli said she
was forced to drop her class
because she couldn't understand
her professor. “It was hard
enough learning calculus without
having to try to understand the
professor," said Corbelli. “He
couldn’t say what he wanted to in
t
acknowledg-
ed that there is a problem at
SUNYA, he said he believes that
there might be a communications
gap between students and pro-
fessors. He explained that some
professors probably aren't aware
that they have a problem,
“It’s not something that the
University is trying to ignore,’”
said Collins, “If students don’t
come forward, we assume that
everything's OK.””

Capital District tearlis to tip off over wookent.
By Kelth Marder
SPORTS EDITOR
The Albany State men’s basketball team
will open its season this Saturday at the
RPI Fieldhouse when they take on the
Union Dutchmen in the opening round of
the Capital District Tournament.
This year’s tournament will feature, as
usual the Great Danes, the Dutchmen, the
RPI Engineers and a team from out of the
Capital District area. This year the out-
siders will be York College from the
CUNY Conference. York will oppose RPI
in the first round,
At yesterday's press luncheon, coaches
from all three of the area teams were in at-
tendance, None of the three came out and
picked its own team as the pre-tournament
favorite, and they all considered the tour-
nament a wide open contest with cach
team having a shot of taking it all.
Albany will field virtually the same team
it did in last year's tournament which they
won in an exciting final game against
Union, That was Albany's 12th Capital
District title, the most won by any team.
“We expected to have a lot of new
blood,” said Sauers. “But we ended up
with a little which won't help us right
away."
Sauers named four out of his starting
five at the luncheon. He said that 6'S"*
Greg Hart would start for the Danes in the
middle with Adam Ursprung and cither
Pete Gosule or John Mracek on the wings.
In the backcourt Sauers said that last
year’s starting guard tandem of Dave
Adam and Danny Croutier will rem: in

last year and / s named to the all-
tournament team.

cording to Sauers.
“I'm proud of my five seniors,” said
Savers. “Mainly for their inspiration to
our younger players, Usually when you get
a bunch of seniors on a team, they are used
to all of the things that go on in pract
and they are sick and tired of getting yelled
al by the same old coach.’
Sauers was careful not to underestimate
his opening night opponent
“Union-Albany games are always ding-
dongers,"’ said Sauers, who is entering his
30th year at the helm of the Danes. “They
always go right down to the wire."

STAFF WRITER
That old cliche, “it isn’t whether you
win or lose but how you play the game,”
was especially true at the University Gym
last Friday night
For in a somewhat out-of-the ordinary
event, the RA’s of State Quad were tem-
Porarily denied the use of their legs as they
engaged in a fierce, competitive game of
Wheel-chair hockey against nine disabled
SUNYA students. After the completion of
four intense quarters of play, the victory
narrowly went to tho RA’s, 7-6.
Organized primarily by Sophomore Jodi
Jacobs, RA of Irving Hall, and Junior
Robert Pipia, a disabled student, this was
the third consecutive year that such a game
was played here at Albany, and it is a
significant annual event for several
reasons,
As RA Jim “Pugger'* Barber, captain
Of the "States"? related, ‘*One of the main
objectives of this game is to bring the han:
dicapped students closer to the staff and
students; to eliminate barriers between the
{wo groups. In the thrill of competition
you don’t see the handicaps.""
Junior Mike DeMitt, a member of the
MIST staff, (RA’s of Melville, Irving,
Steinmetz and Tappan Halls, the only halls
lon campus that house disabled students),
further explained, ‘We're hoping this
ame will provide the spectators with an
portunity to get acquainted with. the
“These games are very competitive,”
said Scanlon. ‘These kids have play each

Scanlon mentioned that one of his pro-
blems this year will be a very youthful
backcourt that includes three freshman,
two sophomores, and one junior. Scanlon
is planning on’ starting an_all-freshman
backcourt,
“My point guard will be Tom Beck, a
freshman from Brockport and at the off-
guard I'll start Rob Parento, a freshman
{rom Vermont,” said Scanlon. ‘Albany is
has a very veteran backcourt while we're
very youthful in the backcourt."*
Scanlon realizes the risks of having
freshman at both of the guard spots.
“I expect them to make mikstakes,"”
said Scanlon. “But the mistakes that they
will make will be agressive ones and we can
live with those kinds of mistakes."
Besides the (wo freshman guards,
Scanlon will start a front court of all
iors. At center for Union will be Jim
Doherty and he will be flanked by Kevin
Bartlett and Ken D'Orazio,
RPI will be playing this season under a
new head coach, former Colgate tactician,
Mike Griffin who replaced John Quattroc-
chi, Quattrocchi is now the assistant coach
at Division 1 Marist,
Since RPI is the host team, :hey will play
the visitors from Queens in the opening
round, This, according to Griffin, is a big
plus for his team.
“One good thing about hosting the tour-
nament,” said Griffin. ‘Is that we don't
have to play Albany or Union the first
night.
“Also it means that in my first year |
will get to play my first
Albany or Union at home.
Also in the Engineers’ favor is the fact
that the host team has won the past four
Capital District Tournaments and five ou
of the last six, The last time the host team
ost the tournament was when Albany
defeated Union in 1980 in Memorial Field
House.
Griffin said that his starting lineup will
feature some old players and some new
faces. At center he will start 6'6" John
Mahoney with 6'2" team captain Rob
Fassett at the strong foward spot. The star-
ting small forward will be 6'6" freshman

They are not predicting a na-
tional championship yet, but the
Albany State wrestling team sure
looked like champions in their
season debut this past Saturday,
With 1984 Olympic team-
member Andy Seras batk in a
Purple and Gold uniform, the
Danes finished first in the highly
competitive Great Dane Classic,
edging Division I Syracuse by
three points.
In the process, Seras, who was

wrestling, captured the
158-pound division, markinig his
third Great Dane Classic cham-
pionship. He was voted

For the members of Albany's team, the
experience of competing in nationals is one
they will long remember,
“It was scary at first,” recalled Lynn

a time of 20:02.32, a time which gave her

A big factor in the Danes’ disappointing finish was the allergy attack that Ed McGill

thought that he’d have to be taken to the hospital after the race, but it wasn’t quite
that bad.'* Despite the rashes and swelling caused by the attack McGill led the Danes
with his 60th place finish in 26:08,
“Ed had a good shot at being All-American,” said Junior lan Clements, ‘but he
obviously didn’t have a good race when he needed to, which happens to everyone."
Possibly the biggest factor in Albany's finish was senior Jim Erwin’s poor finish due
to an asthma attack suffered shortly before the race, Erwin finished second for the
Danes at the IC4A Championships this year, and was instrumental in Albany's third-
place finish. Hampered by his restricted breathing, Erwin did not score for the Danes
when he would most likely have been the team's second or third man.
‘The man who came through once again to help the tean in the clutch was junior
Craig Parlato. Finishing second for Albany and 77th overall, Parlato ran an excep-

“I got a good start and felt god gaing up the hills, so I picked up places the whole

Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa
DAVE ISAAC UPS
“Whether SUNY is adequately dealing with it’s crime only students would know.
Sliwas address need for Angels
Vote urged to elicit students’ view on campus chapter
By Beth Finneran
STAFF WRITER
“If there’s no need for a SUNY
(Guardian Angel) Chapter one
simply won't exist,"” Lisa Sliwa,
Guardian Angels national direc-
tor, announced Wednesday at a
Press Conference that preceded
her appearance with her husband
and founder of the organization,
Curtis Sliwa Wednesday night in
the Campus Center Ballroom.
The Sliwas, who were brought
to campus by Speaker’s Forum
and were paid $500 cach, spoke
before approximately 200
students.
Curtis Sliwa said that his in-
terest in establishing a “satellite
unit” of the Guardian Angels on
campus evolved because the need
was expressed by 13 SUNYA
students.
“Whether SUNY is adequately
dealing with it’s crime only the
students would know,"’ Sliwa
said, explaining that the interest
and input as well as the work
would have to come from
students, He added that the need
for a chapter had also been ex
pressed by students at Russell
Sage.
“If students told us to pack our
bags and leave that would be
fine," Sliwa said after suggesting
a debate and referendum so
students could voice their views.
He said that the goals of the
Guardian Angels are to create a
positive role model as well as a
visual deterrent to crime.
Sliwa also expressed criticism
of the police system declaring,
“The quickest way to get in touch
with the cops is not to call 911,
but to get the number of your
local Dunkin Donuts."”
Sliwa caused much controversy
when he first began an Albany
Guardian Angels chapter in Oc-
tober. Despite initial opposition
from Albany Mayor Thomas
Whalen, Sliwa confirmed that the
Angels are."'here to stay’ and the
current volunteers have finished
their first month of training.
The Guardian Angels currently
‘ate in 53 American cities and
dian cities, said Sliwa
noting that no precedent would
be set by a SUNYA chapter since
chapters currently work at Nor-
thwestern, Ohio, and Syracuse
Universities.
Lisa Sliwa expressed concern
over women’s safety, saying it is
“overwhelmingly women who are
victims"* of violent crimes. “The
people responsible for our safety
sould be ashamed," she said, ad-
ding that she is “sick of those in
nd their egos being more
nt than our safety.”
He encouraged young people to
get involved now because in the
future, “you'll be so caught up
in the rat race that you won't have
time for anyone but
yourself...give a little bit of your
time and energy before you get
bombarded.”
Lisa Sliwa also stated that the
Angels success has enabled them
to branch into other areas such as
“food and clothing distribution,
self-defense programs, and a
speakers bureau which sends
speakers out into communities.””
SA vice-president Suzy Auletta
said she didn't feel there is a need
for a Guardian Angel Chapter on
campus. ‘Don't Walk Alone
(SUNYA's escort service) is doing
a great job," Auletta explained,
“We have a lot of people dealing
with the problem now as it is.””
“Don't Walk Alone” is a
volunteer escort service set up at
the beginning of the year.
“A lot of people might get the
idea that there’s a lot more crime
than there really is,"" Auletta said,
adding that the Guardian Angels
signify a high crime: area which
she feels the campus is not,
Auletta also said she didn't
think it would be a problem for
the Guardian Angels to get SA
recognition.
Curtis Sliwa said that every col-
lege chapter co-exists with an
escort program.
Rochelle Hichenson, director
of the Don't Walk Alone Pro-
gram said she could not comment
on the subject. of Guardian
Angels,
“We would not attempt to en-
croach on that (Don't Walk
Alone),"* Stiwa said.
He also stated that he saw a
need for the Angels ularly
on Thursday, Friday, and Satur-
day nights, since Don't Walk
Alone escorts are not available on
weekends, or after 11 during
weeknights.
The Sliwas were
plauded by the
crowd.
“Their presentation wasn't a
pitch. It was more an informative
type of thing," said Liz Russo, a
sophomore, ‘They wanted to
give you an understanding of
what they stood for."*
Joseph Maier, a Guardian
Angel trainee who formerly work-
ed on campus for Burns Security,
said “They need it down where I
live — Arbor Hill is bad." Recall-
ing his job on campus, Maier
said, “it was pretty rough then —
They should try it here."

‘Star Wars’
weapons, nuclear freeze
By Pam Schusterman
STAFF WRITER
If the thought of Star Wars
comes to mind when you hear
about the arms race, at least one
SUNYA professor doesn't think
there's much to worry about. ‘I
never paid much attention to the
technologies of ‘Star Wars’
because it is not going to work
technically and it is economically
impossible," said History Pro-
fessor Richard Kendall.
Kendall spoke along with three
other professors last Wednesday
at_a Professors Forum on the
‘Arms Race held by the New York
Public Interest Research
Group(NYPIRG) at SUNYA.
Topics discussed ranged from
the proposed nuclear freeze to
Presidents Reagan's ‘Star Wars"
space weapons proposal.
According to the forum's
moderator, Barbara Abrahamer,
the forum was held “basically to
educate people about the arms
race and to try to get them
involved.
SUNYA History professor
Donald Birn, who also teaches a
course titled Peace and the
Nuclear Age, ‘'the arms race is
taking a dangerous new turn and
it is not appropriate to put all the
blame on Reagan. Nine new

inous trend and the key
to focus on is new
capabilities of weapons and what
dangers they hold,"”
“What worries me," he said,
“is how much of focus there is on
technology.
“Tam as much for peace as
anyone else,"" began Sandor
Balogh, professor at Hudson
Valley Community College, “but
the question is not who is for
peace and who is for war, but
what is the best war for peace."’
Balogh said he believes we must
find a way to defend ourselves, “1
would like to have a system that
the chance that I will be destroyed
is minimal.,.1 don't want to be
killed even once, I want to be
defended,"
‘Anne Sloan, from SUNYA's
Political Science Department,
said she feels, “we must have
faith in radical technical advances
and the Star Wars strategy falls
into this category,
