Athletic fee referendum cancelled again
Inter-Collegiate _ the “horrific elections”, and they

“Due to a series of unpre-
dictable events, the fall 1992
special elections have been can-
celled. We are aware that this is
the second time this election has
been postponed this semester.
However, because we do not
treat this issue lightly, we felt it
would be better to cancel the
election rather than have it con-
tinue and risked a possible inval-
idation,” stated a press release
from SA’s executive branch on
Tuesday.
Once again, the athletic fee
referendum vote has been post-
poned. “There weren’t enough
poll watchers,” said SA Vice
President Mike Williams, “That
was the final straw.” He also
said there were “policy contra-
dictions.”
“T’m tired of having elections
fall apart,” said SA President
Diego Munoz. Munoz also said
he’s tired of “executive mes-
sup,” and he hopes to “put
something together next time
that will work.”
J. Anderson, Elections
Commissioner, said in a press
telease he takes “full responsi-
bility” for the cancellation of the
referendum. He said the referen-
dum had to be cancelled because
of “violation of SA policy.”
Anderson said he blames him-
self for “not having enough poll
watchers.” He said he had a vol-
unteer watching polls on alumni
until 3:30, but after that no ‘one
was watching the poll. “I can’t
be in two places at once,” said
Anderson. He also said he
should have had more volun-
teers,
Munoz said that there was
alleged lobbying on the part
of some poll watchers. At
Central Council Wednesday,
one council member said
when he went to vote, the
poll watchers was telling
people to vote in favor of
the referendum. In addition,
the poll watcher had no bal-
lots for people to cast their
vote on,
Allegations were made by
members of Council that

NEWS BRIEFS
WORLD 6
Smog swarms Mexico
Mexico City, Mexico
(AP) Winter is in the air: A pall of
yellowish smog has returned to Mexico
City, joggers occasionally wear masks and
air-cleaning machines are selling fast.
The world’s dirtiest capital is changing
seasons, going from year-round gritty,
grimy air to even worse winter weather -
three months of gasping, wheezing and
sneezing, with few of the rains that
periodically wash the air during the
tropical summer.
“Ozone levels are already starting to
climb,” warned a public announcement on
tadio Wednesday that urged 2,000
elementary schools to prepare for flexible
closing schedules.
The government has announced a
vigorous anti-pollution campaign,
including a plan to temporarily close
down schools and hundreds of polluting
industries on extremely smoggy days.
Greeks spill on Spain
La Corona, Spain
(AP) Spanish officials say beaches and
marine life along Spain’s northwest coast
are threatened by oil from a damaged
Greek tanker.
Authorities say hundreds of thousands
of gallons of crude oil have spilled into
the waters near the port of the La Corona
(lah kuh-roon’-yah) since the tanker ran
aground and split into two today.
The resulting slick is reportedly more
than a mile long and 60 feet wide and it’s
drifting up the coast where fishing is
crucial to the regional economy.
It’s not clear exactly how much oil has
spilled, but a spokesman for the Spanish
oil company Repsol says only one
segregated tank in the ship is damaged.
That should limit the spill to less than two
and a-half (m) million gallons.

Clinton billed a sinner
Washington D.C.
(AP) The Internal Revenue Service has
requested records from a church in
Binghamton, N.Y., that ran pre-election
advertisements labeling Bill Clinton a
sinner, the pastor said Wednesday.
“They have asked for some preliminary
information to see if they want to
investigate us,” said Rev. Daniel Little,
senior pastor of The Church at Pierce
Creek in Binghamton.
The probe was launched in response to
a complaint Nov. 3 from Americans
United for Separation of Church and State,
a non-secterian watchdog group based in
Sliver Spring, Md.
“Churches have every right to speak on
the moral issues of the 4 day, but the IRS
quite appropriately draws the line at
partisan politicking,” said Barry W. Lynn,
the group’s executive director. “The
integrity of both religion and government
are harmed when churches become cogs
in a political machine.”
The Church at Pierce Creek, a non-
denominational Christian church, ran
advertisements in USA Today and the
Washington Times saying that Clinton “is
promoting policies that are in rebellion to
God’s laws. ...How can we vote for Bill
Clinton?”
Little said he does not believe the ads
were in violation of the tax laws. which
prohibit tax-exempt organizations from
participating in partisan politics,
Little said the USA Today ad cost
$41,000 and the Times ad, $3,000. Asked
how the 200-member church paid for
them, he said: “Oh, $5 here, $10 there,
people all over the nation. Hundreds and
hundreds and hundreds of people.”
Senator harasses staff
Washington D.C.
(AP) The Senate Ethics Committee, acting
only a day after receiving a formal
complaint, is beginning a preliminary
inquiry into sexual harassment allegations
against Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore.
Women’s groups in Oregon has urged
the committee to act now, even though the
investigation will be carried on next year
by anewly constituted panel.
The six-member committee is losing its
chairman and vice chairman - one
defeated, the other retiring - and possibly
other members. The women’s groups have
urged that one of the six female senators
who will be in office next year be

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1
Panel probes into life and t
By TasHA EMMONS
After a benefit showing of
director Spike Lee’s latest film
Malcolm X by the Albany based
“Center for Law and Justice” on
Monday night, a panel was held
Tuesday, open to the public, to
discuss the film. About 50
people from diverse points of
view attended.
SUNYA Assistant Professor
of Criminal Justice Dr. Frankie
Bailey was the first to speak.
Bailey, an expert on crime in the
mass media, likened Malcolm X
to the film Patton, an American
leader who lived at the center of
controversy.
Bailey discussed the notion of
the “badman” as the hero. She
said our founding fathers were
“badmen”. They were
revolutionaries.
Bailey said Malcolm X “forces
us to ask questions about
America and what it stands for.”
She said we haven’t seen the
crimes white Americans have
committed in oppressing
African-Americans and other
racial groups. Malcolm X
“forces us to look at how we see
democracy and justice”, Bailey
said.
The director of The Malcolm
X Study Network, Mr. O’Dell
Winfield, said the public needs
to be “educated about what is
happening.” He said the same
conditions that existing in the
1960’s in the time of Malcolm X
still exist now. O’Dell said 90%
of prisoners today are still black
and Hispanic.
Referring to Malcolm X
specifically, O’Dell said he
loved the later part of the film,
but “the movie did not do justice
to Malcolm the internationalist.
Too much time was spent on
Malcolm the criminal.” O’Dell
also said one of the speeches
delivered by actor Denzel
Washington (as Malcolm X) was
not Malcolm X’s speech. It was
the speech that repeated the
phrase “I charge the white man
with...” O’Dell said the speech
was a Louis Farrakhan speech.
Dr. Vivian Gordon, said
Malcolm X was a “crazy anti-
white person” she stay away
from. She remembers when he
was not allowed to speak at her
black college.
“We were scared to death of
him”, she said. “I was afraid
because I was afraid of my own
rage.” Gordon feels that any
black person who grew up in
“apartheid in America” and is
not filled with rage has
something wrong with them.
Gordon said, “Warehousing of
black men (in the prison system)
is the new clean industry.” She
stated that our justice system is
criminal and she finds it hard to
believe that America cares.
Gordon quoted facts about
black Americans. “The per
capita income of . black
Americans today is less than in
the 1970’s, 80% of the homeless
men on the streets of New York
are black veterans, the total
income of all black owned
businesses in the U.S right now
equals that of all the #5 U.S.
money making corporation-
Morton Salt.
Gordon said, “I have a
pervasive sense of hopelessness
like I’ve never felt before.”
She felt that the film should
have developed the characters of
black women more and
contained less zoot suit scenes
and scenes about Malcolm’s
obsession with white women.
“People came along later and
distorted our heroes, reshaped
them and handed them back to
American people”, Gordon said.
She hopes that the film will
stimulate people to read. She
recommended the book “The Art
of Leadership, The Art of
Organizing” Volume 2 by
T’Shaka over Alex Hailey’s
Malcolm X biography the film
was based on.
The only non-black panelist
was a representative of the local
media. Mr. W. Donn Rogosin,
manager of the Albany public
television channel 17, WMHT,
spoke next.
He said, “I think that the
renewed interest in Malcolm X
is that he is one of the last pieces
of unfinished business from the
60's.”
Rogosin said that he feels the
lack of focus on racial issues
during the recent political
campaign created a “void” that
was filled by the film. He said
that race issues must be
confronted one way or another
and people want to talk about it.
He said, “Malcolm X is the
embodiment of rage.”
Rogosin stressed _the
importance of Malcolm X vs.
Martin Luther King Jr.
questions. He said that both are
important in internationalism.
He said he feels that they are
becoming even more important
now that international relations
are becoming such an integral
part of the U.S. politics.
A representative of the Capital
District Psych Center, Mr. Brian
Wright, finished the opening
statements by expressing his
thoughts on the film. He felt
that, “The most powerful scene
(in the film) was when Betty
(Malcolm X’s wife) was telling
Malcolm to open his eyes.”
Wright felt that this was the
tuming point in the film because
Malcolm listened to Betty and
did open his eyes.”
Wright credited Malcolm X
with being, “one of the first
people of the time to say we
don’t have to bow down.”
Wright emphasized Malcolm’s
commitment to “pride” and
related this to a scene in the film
where Malcolm X marches up to
the desk of a police station and
demands to see an acquaintance
who has been taken into custody.
When the floor was opened to
discussion, many more
perspectives and viewpoints
were expressed. A Muslim stood
and stated that he thought a
Muslim should have been on the
panel. To him, the fact that
Malcolm X taught Islam was the
most important point of the film.
He also expressed his
unhappiness that in the film, the
leader of the Islamic religion,
Elijah Mohammed, was
condemned for having children
with two women. The man said
that within the Islamic religion,
bigamy is acceptable and the
two women were his wives.
An African man who claimed
to have traveled from Kenya and
met Malcolm X on Malcolm X’s
way to Mecca said that Malcolm
X’s message was to the African
diaspora, not just Muslims. He
felt that the film spent too much
time on what was not Malcolm
X’s message. He felt that
Malcolm X’s message was,
“there is only one race-the
human race.” He said that
Malcolm X was involved in a
human fight, not a Muslim fight.
A woman voiced concer over
school children being taken to
see Malcolm X and what king of
message they would get from it.
Several people, mostly teachers,
said that they thought that the
film Malcolm X was dangerous
because when they asked young
people what the message in the
film was, they said, “the nation
of Islam killed him (Malcolm
X).” The teachers felt that
“Hollywood exploitation” was
responsible for highlighting this
aspect of the film and therefore
overshadowing Malcolm X’s
evolution as a man.
Winfield said Malcolm X is
Spike Lee’s movie, not a
documentary. He said that young
people who see the film need to
understand the point of view that
Malcolm X from. Winfield said,
“Anywhere the public will
discuss X, we should be. The
need understanding speakers.”
In talking to young people
about Malcolm X, Winfield said
2__ ALBANY"
ENT PI 3
imes of Malcolm X
that Malcolm X’s message
should be put into proper
context. He said that Malcolm
X’s speeches should be analyzed
and videos used. Winfield
encouraged youth groups to talk
about Malcolm X and invited
them to call him to speak.
Another man stood to say that
the film to him was about the
passage to black manhood.
“How to achieve manhood in a
society that doesn’t let you be a
man.”
Gordon spoke up about what
she termed “skin privilege”. She
wants white people to try and
acknowledge that what they gain
by having light skin, other
people lose because they have
dark skin. She called on white
Americans to “stop hiding” and
help end racism.
A young man stood and urged
people to, “seize the teachable
moment.” He spoke of the
“transformation of the human
spirit” that Malcolm X
underwent. He said that each
great African American,
“Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman,
Sojourner Truth, Frederick
Douglas,” planted “seeds” that
will develop.
A boy expressed his suspicion
that the C.I.A. may have had
something to do with Malcolm
X’s death.
A man said that Malcolm X’s
message is, “...still very much
alive in countries where Blacks
are repressed.”
Many more issues and
concerns were discussed before
Mr. Wright closed the meeting
saying, “We must learn more
about Malcolm. We don’t want
people to see the film without a
discussion.” He said that
different perspectives are very
important and he hopes that the
movie will begin to start
discussions,
The event was organized by
Alice Green, executive director
of The Center for Law and
Justice.
SUNYA groups protest murder investigation
By DAN KEEFE
Staff Writer
If there is one thing upon which several
left ward leaning SUNYA organizations
agree, it is that a Colonie police
investigation of a man found dead last
spring seeds to be reopened. The
agreements ends, however, when it comes
to the question of how that good should
be accomplished.
Last April 20, the day after the Los
Angeles riots began, Joseph Cohen, a
black SUNY Binghamton student, was
found hanging from a tree behind
Colonie Center Mall. The Colonie Center
Mall. The Colonie police ruled his death
a suicide after a four hour investigation.
Yvette Felarca, a member of the
National Women’s Rights Organizing
Coalition, N.W.R.O.C., said the suicide
tuling was a police cover-up of what she
said was probably a racist murder.
Felarca argued that Cohen had not
exhibited any suicidal tendencies before
his death, and she questioned the physical
evidence cited in the police investigation.
“He cashed a paycheck, he bought a
textbook and art supplies the day before.
(The Police are) not taking this into
consideration is a cover-up,” Felarca said.
Several campus organizations who, at
the very least , believe the investigation
leaves something to be desired, including
the Student Association Office of
Affirmative Action, Albany State
university Black Alliance (ASUBA),
Fuerza Latina, International Socialist
Organization (ISO), NWROC, and one
unrecognized campus group, the
Revolutionary Workers League (RWL),
have successfully sought to form a
coalition in order to win a reopening of
the Joseph Cohen case.
A disagreement over tactics occurred,
according to members of several of the
groups involved , when Joseph Cohen’s
parents attended an organizing meeting
earlier in November. At this meeting the
Cohen’s asked that SUNYA students not
hold any demonstrations, although the
parents did express an interest in
cooperative action. Cohen’s parents
unavailable for comment.
Yet, on Tuesday, November 24,
NWROC and RWL sponsored a
demonstration outside Colonie Town
Hall, which was attended by about 20
people, according to Felarca.
Felarca acknowledged NWROC and
RWL held the demonstration in spite of
the Cohen’s, saying “it’s a political issue
that goes beyond the personal tragedy of
the parents.”
Adam Lerman, a member of both RWL
and NWROC, said in a separate interview
that his groups have rejected “a liberal
/conservative method of working through
the system. We’re not going to tum back
and put more faith in a corrupt system.”
“It’s going to take mass public
pressure,” Felarca said. “You can throw
away a letter, you can ignore.a phone call,
but you can’t ignore a_ public
demonstration.”
Still, Felarca said, “It’s going to take
more than one demonstration. It’s going

Students fight AIDS with Art
“A day without Art”, an international
day of action and mourning in response
to the AIDS crisis, was observed on
Tuesday, with a rally at the small
fountain. The observance coincided
with “World AIDS Day”, and was
cosponsored by LGBA, ACT UP, and
the Music Theatre and Art Councils.
The purpose of the rally was to
remember people who have died from
AIDS and to raise consciousness of
AIDS, said Michele Senitzer Cochar of
LGBA.
The rally consisted of people
blindfolded to symbolize government's
inaction to respond to the crisis, empty
picture frames that were covered (to
show the day had no art), and a “die-in”,
where participants laid down on a piece
of a quilt to remember those who have
died (from AIDS), said Senitzer.
Some names which appear on the
AIDS quilt were read, Sanitzer said. In
addition, the background of AIDS and
the HIV virus was discussed, she said.
A petition to SUNYA central calling
for free, anonymous HIV testing on
SUNY campuses was distributed at the
rally. It also asks for free distributions
of condoms and dental dams through
the infirmary., said Senitzer. Condoms
and dental damns were distributed at the

SUNYA’s chapter of the New York
Public Interest Research Group has
initiated a new recycling program which
places recycling bins in the RATT and the
commuter cafeteria in the Campus Center,
said Ava Kahn, one of NYPIRG’s
coordinators of the new project.
Kahn said the new bins will be
appearing in these areas Monday through
Friday during the week of Dec. 7.
Sean Fitzgerald, NYPIRG’s project
coordinator said the program will be
running for five days “to get an idea of
what bugs are in the program.”
NYPIRG initiates new recycling project
The program is being implemented by
the University Auxiliary Services. The
recyclable will be picked up by the
Physical Plant Department, Fitzgerald
said.Fitzgerald said the reasons behind
initiation of the plans for recycling are due
to the consumption of over 200 cases of
Snapple drinks each week.
Students have been looking for places to
recycle these non-refundable bottles,
according to Kahn, “students want to
recyclé,” she said. For about a week,
NYPIRG gathered “over 1000 signatures”
for petitions requesting a recycling
service; Kahn said.
Kahn said the permanent recycling
program will begin next semester.

Pentagon mobilizes rescu
Washington, D.C.
By MICHAEL HILL
(AP) The Pentagon has ordered
some 28,000 troops to stand by
for deployment to Somalia to
spearhead a U.N. military rescue
mission to the beleaguered
African nation, a senior
Pentagon official said Thursday.
President Bush scheduled a
meeting with congressional
leaders Friday morning to
discuss U.S. participation-in the
relief effort, the White House
said after the U.N. Security
Council unanimously approved
the operation.
“We are pleased by the U.N.
vote to authorize military forces
to ensure the delivery of
humanitarian aid to alleviate the
starvation and human suffering
in Somalia,” said the statement,
issued by Bush’s press secretary,
Marlin Fitzwater.
Earlier Thursday, Bush called
his top military advisers to the
White House and telephoned
leaders around the globe seeking
additional forces for the effort to
clear a way for food and other
aid to reach starving Somalia.
Bush“ and his advisers
discussed the risks of the
military operation, said
spokesman Marlin Fitzwater,
“but the feeling was that the
need there is great ... and that we
can’t allow the starvation to

“We don’t see this as a big
invasion force,” said Pentagon
spokesman Pete Williams. “We
are not looking to go in with
guns blazing. I wouldn’t expect
a big confrontation.”
Fitzwater said, “Our purpose
is to first of all to .... get the aid
through and secondly to
accomplish that as rapidly as
possible and to turn it over to
peacekeeping forces of the
United Nations as soon as
possible.”
He even suggested that the
U.S. forces could be out of
Somalia by the time President-
elect Clinton takes office Jan.
20. “If we could have them out
before then, that certainly would
be preferable,” he told reporters.
Williams also noted that
Somalia is riddled with “lawless
gangs of thugs” who have
endangered relief workers and
stolen food from humanitarian
stocks and that the military
would have to create “safe areas,
safe havens” and corridors for
delivering relief supplies.
Williams said 1,800 Marines
aboard a three-ship amphibious
strike force were off the coast of
Somalia, awaiting further orders.
Those Marines would move in
to secure Mogdishu’s port and
airstrips, allowing other forces to
flow in form the United States
and other nations, a senior
Pentagon official said.
The largest contingent would
be some. 16,000 marines form
the lst Marine Expeditionary
Force from Camp Pendleton.
In a second wave, up to 10,000
soldiers from the Army’s light
infantry 10th Mountain Division
at Fort Drum, N.Y., will be
added, said the official, who
commented only on condition of
anonymity.
Williams confirmed that units
from Pendleton’s 50,000
Marines had been alerted to get
ready to move, as well as
elements of the 10th Mountain
Division, but he declined to say
exactly how many might be sent
to the East African nation.
In line to command the
venture on the scene is Marine
Lt. Gen. Robert Johnston, who
was one of Gen. Norman
Schwarzkorf’s top aides in the
Persian Gulf War and is the
commander of the 1st Marine
Expeditionary Force.
State Department spokesman
Richard A. Boucher said the
United States “would have
appropriate control” over
American forces in Somalia.
At the White House, Gen.
Joseph Hoar, the Central
Command chief who drew up
the plans for the mission, met
with Bush, Defense Secretary
Dick Cheney and Gen. Colin
Powell, Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
After Friday morning’s
meeting with congressional
leaders, Bush was expected to
issue a statement or meet with
Teporters, White House officials
indicated. Such consultations
could set in motion a chain of
events that would allow the U.S.
forces off Somalia to begin
moving within a matter of hours.
Congressional leaders have
been generally supportive of the
idea of intervention, but Rep.
John Murtha, chairman of a
House defense panel, renewed
his objections Thursday.
He said the sort of
humanitarian mission being
planned would do little to
stabilize chaotic conditions in
Somalia. “The people would be
fed for a short time, but he
minute we left, my prediction
would be that we would see the
same problem all over again,”
the Pennsylvania Democrat said.
Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn.,
called for Congress to reconvene
and vote on the question.
Bush has’ gotten agreement
form a number of nations to send
military forces, but none of the
contingents would be as large as
the U.S. force, the Pentagon
source said.

METROLAND’S 1992 WINNER

By KAREN NEUSTADT
(CPS) Faced with a bleak job
market, more college graduates
are choosing to take low-paying
- or no-paying - jobs in public
service where they believe they
can make a difference.
The trend marks the end of the
self-serving 1980s, say experts,
who note that President-elect
Bill Clinton’s administration
may spur even more interest in
community-focused work.
In October, 500 Boston
College seniors lined up at a
career fair, not for a fast-tracking
corporate position, but for public
service jobs that students say
bring them fewer headaches and
less money, but greater personal
satisfaction.
The Peace Crops reports a
dramatic increase in younger
recruits, and projects such as the
Mississippi Teaching Crops
report a number of applicants.
At the Public Interest Center at
Harvard University Law School
this year, more than 230 of the
1,000 students spent last summer
working in the public sector.
Last year’s graduating class saw
55 graduates out of 500 - a
record number - opt for public
service law.
“Tt is a dramatic. exciting
trend, and something that is here
to stay,” said Stacy DeBroff,
director of the office of public
interest advising at the Harvard
University Law School.
“And it’s not just in law

schools. We see it in business
schools and medical schools.
We're seeing people doing
entrepreneurial things, like
setting up a home for battered
women or working on an Indian
reservation,” she said. =
DeBroff, who entered public
service law upon graduating
from Harvard, said in spite of the
fact that Harvard law students
are “recession proof” and able to
command high salaries, they are
opting to do more public service
work.
“For me, it is essential to work
on issues that I cared for
profoundly on a heartfelt level.
It was not enough for me to
bring home a big paycheck and
to socialize in power circles,”
she said. “There are many who
feel like this.”
DeBroff said she views the
new administration as a fresh
beginning for many college
students who, she says, have felt
shut out by the materialistic
values of the Reagan-Bush years.
“There is a whole generation,
a new generation with a different
perspective on career and life
choices. You are going to see
more and more young people
going into the government, doing
public service work,” she added.
The interest among young
attorneys to hang out a shingle in
the public sector is confirmed by
the burgeoning growth of the
national Association of Public
Interest Law (NAPIL).
In 1986, NAPIL was a

fledgling group of lawyer-
activists determined to make it
possible for idealistic graduates,
by providing needed dollars, to
sharpen their skills in the public
sector.
Now, as some young lawyers
shun. six-figure futures, NAPIL
Offers financial support to those
who wish to specialize in low-
paying areas such as domestic
violence, Native American
issues or children’s rights.
Six years ago, NAPIL chapters
were on only 15 campuses; now
there are 112. The number of
students who participated in
public interest law through the
group has quadrupled to 600 this
year.
“There is a definite trend to
more people pursuing public
service careers,” said Caroline
Durham, national student
organizer for NAPIL.
More than ever, young
attorneys are attracted to
representing underrepresented
groups, working in rural areas,
and feeling a sense of
community.
“We are taking applications in
right now for a fellowship grant
that will fund up to 10 attorneys
to do new and innovative
projects in the public sector,”
said Durham, whose office has
received dozens of applications
for projects that include
environmental and domestic
issues.

debt of $45,00 a year when they

get out of school, how can you
expect them to take a $25,000
job?” Durham said.
“The altruistic attitude has
always been there for students
entering law school,” said
“We create
opportunities so that they can
hang onto the idealism as they
go through their education.”
For those with more exotic
ideas about public service,
there’s the Peace Crops, which
reports the number of volunteers
between 21-25 years of age has
skyrocketed by 50 percent since
1988,
“Many graduates are using the
Peace crops as a transition time
in their careers,” DeBroff said.
“They feel they can make a
difference.”
In 1992, nearly 3,000 young
adults agreed to roll up their
sleeves and help improve the
quality of life in developing
countries throughout the world.
“All of our volunteers are
dedicated, very independent,
very challenged individuals,”
said Marianne McInerney, public
relations officer at the
Washington-based offices of the
Peace Crops.
“College grads are having
difficulty finding jobs in the
corporate world, and many are
choosing the peace Crops as an
alternative because they can
grow as individuals,” she said.
“When they come back from
their tour, they are highly
regarded in the business sector,
and as we become more of a
global community, they are
highly sought out,” she said,
pointing out that many sectors,
congressmen and high-profile
CEOs are former Peace Crops
volunteers.
Young volunteers are assigned
two-year jobs in agriculture,
environment and forestry, health,
urban development, education,
business or other sectors in
countries in Africa, where 40
percent of all Peace Crops work
takes place, or Latin America,
Asia, Central Europe or
Mediterranean countries.
“These are students who are
interested in finding out about
other people,” McInerney said.
Volunteers are paid only a small
amount plus a stipend at the end
of their tour, although there are
other benefits.
Graduates who qualify for the
Peace Corps and received
National Direct Student Loans
on or after July 1, 1987, and
have no other outstanding
balance on education loans, may
find their loans are reduced by
15 percent for each of the first
and second complete years of
service, and 20 percent for the
third and fourth years.
More than 50 graduate schools
offer the Fellows/USA program
for returned Peace Corps
volunteers who wish to earn
master’s degrees, and several
universities offer limited
academic credit for serving a
tour.
In some states, overseas
teaching experience may be
substituted by graduates for
practical teaching requirements

New Yorkers face yet
another commuter fare hike
(AP) A major battle over how
tax dollars will be spent to
preserve New York state’s
toads and mass transit systems
has begun at the state Capitol.
In effect, it’s the 1993-94
state budget war beginning a
little early. The outcome of the
battle is of interest to almost
every New Yorker. The
bottom line is how much New
York City subway riders will
have to pay for a token and
how many potholes per mile
motorists will face.
The main bone of contention
is just how to divvy up more
than $700 million raised
annually from a_ state
petroleum business tax.
Under a 1991 pact, Gov.
Mario Cuomo and the state
Legislature agreed the money
would flow into a ““locked
box” fund as of April 1, 1993,
to be used exclusively for
transportation projects. Since
1991, the money has simply
gone into the state’s general
budget.
At the time the fund was
agreed to, all the sides
recognized there would be a
big fight . How much of the
money would go to roads?
How much to New York City’s
subways and buses? How
much to upstate transit
systems? And how much to
commuter rail limes that serve
suburban counties surrounding
New York City?
But Cuomo has also said his
goal is to keep the transit fare
in New York City from rising
until at least January 1995.
The subway fare went to $1.25
, a dime increase, last January.
The governor has said he
would like to see the state
Legislature return to Albany
Happy Birthday Glenn! Have a great time
but, try not to lose any more limbs!
before the end of the year to
deal with the transportation
funds issue. But legislative
leaders have said they don’t
see calling their members back
into session without an
agreement already hammered
out.
“It sounds doubtful that we
would be coming back in the
very near future,” state Senate
Majority leader Ralph Marnio
told the New York Times this
week,
Cuomo has the power to
force the lawmakers back into
session, but as he’s often said,
he can’t force them to vote.
That means the issue like
won't be resolved until
sometime next year.
As with almost everything at
the state Capitol, there’s more
here than meets the eye.
Regionalists and politics are
major factors in the battle.
Republicans dominate
upstate New York’s rural
regions. That means highway
money is their main concern.
Republicans also tend to
dominate the suburban
counties surrounding New
York City. That means they
worry about commuter rail
fares. Democrats dominate
New York City and mamy
upstate cities. They worry
about their mass transit
systems.
In the political arena,
Democrat Cuomo may run for
a fourth term in 1994. That
argues for putting off a subway
fare hike in New York City, ttis
power base, until at least 1995.
New York City Mayor David
Dinkins, also a Democrat, has
said he’s running for a second
term next year. He definitely

UNINHIBITED EXPRESSIONS
Okay, just admit it. You
read it. You write it. You
get off on it. You drop your
pants, you whip it out.
Your pen, that is. Or your
pencil. This is everyone’s
favorite societal menace,
the desecration of public
property. It’s graffiti and
it’s been around longer
than the bathroom walls
that we scribble it on and
the writing utensils we use
to do it with. But what is
it about the act of writing
on a bathroom wall, or a
bus stop, or a desk that
fascinates us so much?
Why is it that we feel the
need to vent our innermost
desires and frustrations
when our pants are down?
Is it the toxic fumes
circulating through the
bathroom? Or is it the
feeling of cold porcelain on
our backsides? Whatever
the case may be, graffiti
has been in existence as
long as written expression.
The word “graffiti” is
from the Italian “graffiare,”
meaning “to scratch.”
“Graffiti,” is the plural
form of the word, “graffito”
is the singular. From a
historical standpoint, the
act itself has been traced
back to the Ancient
Greeks. Although there
was graffiti prior to that
time, it was in Ancient
Greece where common
citizens first learned to
write. Before commoners
became literate, writing
was exclusive to nobles
and priests. Any graffiti
written’ at that time
reflected the ideologies of
the elite minority, not
those of society at large.
Romans also wrote
graffiti in their public
latrines. this practice
became fairly customary,
and Martial, a Roman
epigramist wrote “Look
out, I advise you, if you are
anxious about being talked
about, for some dark cellar
drunken poet, writes his
poetry on privies with
coarse charcoal and
stinking shit.”
Despite how widespread
graffiti had become,
Roman officials were not
so amused and went to
great lengths to safeguard
their walls from
defacement. They placed
pictures of religious
emblems on_ public
lavatories and “called
down the wrath of heaven
against those who were so
wicked as to profane what
their duty as a citizen of
Rome required them to
revere.”
Although the amount of
attention given to graffiti
may appear trivial, to the
Romans, the excretory act
was a serious matter not
to be taken in jest. Waste
products had a sacred
significance to them, so
much so that they even
worshipped deities whose
purpose was to protect
public toilets and the
people who use them. One
such deity in particular
was Cloacina, the goddess
of excrement.
The British too had their
share of graffiti artists.
The culprits were usually
aristocracy, saints and
scholars awaiting the
death sentence for their
political or religious
transgressions. These
political and religious
beliefs were written on
walls with nails or any
other hard objects at their
immediate disposal. If
they could not find any
tools for their
transcriptions, they wrote
them with their own blood.
Although British
graffitophile Hurlo Thomas
graced the world with the
first published anthology
of graffiti in the eighteenth
century, it was not until
1935, that graffiti was the
subject of serious
research, Allen Walker
Read, an English professor
at Columbia University,
published the first study of
graffiti, which he referred
to as folk epigraphy.
Read became interested
in the subject in 1928
during a sight-seeing trip
throughout western United
«hl ‘)
i rN
DD finger
By Kenya McCullum
Editorial Assistant
States and Canada.
Because he visited many
public restrooms during
this time, he realized that
“these inscriptions are a
form of folk-lore that
should be made the
subject of a scholarly
study.” He copied as many
bathroom wall
masterpieces as he could
and compiled a glossary of
them in his book, Lexical
Evidence From Folk
Epigraphy in Western
North America: A
Glossarial Study of the
Low Element in the
English Vocabulary. Not
only had Read sparked an
interest in a phenomenon
that had not previously
been studied, but also he
felt that the book was
making a breakthrough in
linguistics because he had
“tapped here a written
source of material that is
almost solely colloquial.”
Since Read, others have
done scholarly
examinations of graffiti,
discovering many nuances
about it. There are two
types of graffito, the public
and the private. The
(
public is most often seen
on the exterior of buildings
or subway cars, while the
private is usually found
near public toilets. In
most cases, public graffiti
addresses a myriad of
topics while private graffiti
usually focuses on sexual
themes or the biological
functions that bring the
graffiti artist into the
bathroom in the first place.
Studies have indicated
that private graffito
usually discusses male
and female sex organs,
different types of
intercourse, heterosexual
and homosexual behavior,
excretory products, and
the excretory process.
The topics found in
public graffiti reflect the
importance of anonymity
when writing on a lavatory
wall. This implies that
there is a shame
associated with being the
author of such
inscriptions. H.M. Lynd
wrote, “throughout our
western civilization shame
is related to the uncovering
of nakedness.” In the case
of graffiti, this nakedness
is related to the literal
physical nakedness of
using the bathroom and
the figurative psychological
nakedness of writing one’s
private thoughts and
feelings down for everyone
to scrutinize. Hence,
although many inhibitions
are shed with the drop of
our pants, we still do not
want to actually admit to
these thoughts, much less
sign our names to them.
Editor's note: In compiling
this story, the author used
the book The Handwriting
on the W.all: Toward a
Sociology and Psychology
of Graffiti by Ernest L.
Abel and Barbara E.
Buckley.

The world stops to remember...
Around the globe Tuesday, people stopped
their daily routines briefly to remember those
who have been stricken by acquired immune
deficiency syndrome, better known as AIDS.
It's been three days since World AIDS Day
was held. Three days for how many more
people to join the ever swelling ranks of those
who have contracted HIV, the virus which
causes AIDS?
Three days. Tick tock. Tick tock.
The worldwide event, sponsored by the
World Health Organization, manifested itself
in a variety of ways.
In Copenhagen, folks dressed in Santa Claus
suits danced around a giant condom. On Fifth
Ave. in New York, flags were flown at half-
mast. Museums removed paintings to
remember artists stricken by this dreadful
disease, and cable companies pledged to go off
the air for a minute Tuesday to mark those in
their industry who have died from AIDS.
Here at SUNYA, students offered their own
version of what the day meant to them. Lead
by the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Alliance, the
Art and Music Councils held “A Day Without
Art,” a performance/rally in front of the
Campus Center.
About a dozen people stood in front of the
podium, dressed in black, and holding
painting frames draped in a black. Each were
blindfolded to symbolize what they labelled as
the government's inaction to respond to the
crisis. After naming a person with AIDS, they
took their turn in a “Die-In,” in which they
were piled on top of each other on the cold
cement of the podium to symbolize those who
have died.
As LGBA Co-Chair Michele Senitzer said
this week, it was a way to make the constantly
expanding statistics “alive,” not just a bunch
of numbers. It was a moving and necessary
presentation for passersby who often are too
wrapped up in getting to their classes to
understand what's going on around them.
But for the sake of throwing a couple
numbers down on paper, it's horrifying to
discover for example:
© Since 1980: 50,342 New York State resident s
have come down with “full blown AIDS.”
70 percent of these peole have since died.
* According to the World Health Organization,
by the year 2000, over 2 million could die of
AIDS in Asia alone.
Tick tock. Tick tock. How many more?
This weekend is the last chance to see the
AIDS Quilt downtown at the New York State
Museum. As you ask yourself the question
above, take a trip downtown to see the quilt.
When you see it, a clearer picture of what's
happening to our brothers and sisters will
unfold. It's only a Wellington ride away or a
10 minute walk.
Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock.

Clinton/Gore- We're ready!
The force of change hit America with the roar
and rush of a sonic boom. Now that all the
hoopla is behind us and Thanksgiving has past, its
high time we digest the meaning of this change.
Suddenly, 12 years of Ronald Reagan and
George Bush, with their shares of notable
successes and their notable failures, were history.
Now, a new figure, really unknown outside of
Arkansas, but obviously intelligent, talented,
shrewd and extremely determined, will become
the new commander-in-chief, leader of the
western world and 42nd President of the United
States.
Ritu Singh
How Governor Clinton, on his very first run for
the white house seized the great prize is now the
stuff of instant political legend. Soon to become
the youngest President since John F. Kennedy,
Clinton and his running mate, Senator Al Gore,
laid out a high energy coast-to-coast campaign
that rarely seemed to steep and rarely lost sight of
its basic theme. As Campaign signs in the Little
Rock headquarters bluntly reminded workers
“The economy, stupid!”
The Arkansas Democrat took on an incumbent
President who, though crippled by a sterile
economy and a public perception that he was not
interested in domestic policy, fought back like a
comered prizefighter. But Clinton hung in and by
the end of a bone-wearying campaign had lost his
voice but not his message or his momentum.
Now the torch will be passed to a younger
generation, as it was in 1960.
Let’s hope Clinton and Gore can bring that
same level of youthful verve and determination to
governing. The November 3 election not only
produced a clear mandate but also brought to an
end the enervating process of a presidential
campaign, which at times was too much campaign
and not enough presidential. So now let’s leave
the name calling behind and get down to business.
The American people, in a tremendous turnout,
voted for change. A change in the economy. A.
change away from the preoccupation with
foreign policy and toward a more complete
presidency, one that includes domestic priorities.
One fear about Clinton was that if one peeled
away all the layers of moderation-camouflage,
there was no more than another unthinking,
unblinking, tax and spend Democrat. But
Clinton persuaded Americans not to read his lips
but to study his plan, which has nothing in it
about Jarge scale tax increases, only hikes on the
rich. The President-elect now owes it to the
people to deal with the recession and the deficit
without destroying America, allegedly in order to
Save it, with taxation.
The most powerful force in the election was not
the personality or character of either Clinton or
Bush, but the deeply troubled American economy,
If the President-elect has any doubt that he owes
victory mainly to the miserable state of the
economy and the urgency at addressing the
deficit, let him remind himself of the triumphant
Bush before Desert Storm. Any president is only
as good as his last victory. For Clinton, his first
taste of battle will be the frightingly resilient
recession. That’s the mandate-get America
moving again.
Clinton will need to work and build support for
a bold but precisely prioritized-economic plan to
tackle the deficit, reform the banking system,
hammer out a new re-industrialization policy,
wrestle with health care and keep moving forward
on Mexican free trade and other such
opportunities.
"How Governor Clinton
on his first run for the
white house seized the
great prize is now the stuff
of instant political
legend. e
President Clinton must also help bring America
together again. He must convey a sense of
Ttenewed community amid all our differences.
Perhaps with a pointedly diversified staffing of
his own administration and with the rhetoric of
inclusion, he can use his office to lead the nation
to a greater emotional comfort with its ethnic and
cultural complexity. He could certainly make
more balanced and representative judicial
appointments than his predecessor.
The new administration must help lift the
American spirit, instill a willingness in people to
set aside their differences and past quarrels and
Set examples that intensify everyone’s practice of
tolerance. There will continue to be division on
issues, to be sure; no one leader can neutralize all
the poison. But America the beautiful, the
increasingly complex and multicultural society
that like no other in the word, will come apart
without presidential leadership that stays in
Overdrive to keep this nation together.
Congratulations to Bill Clinton and Al Gore:
We now hope Americana can go forward together.

Albany hoops christen the RACC
Lady Danes beat vengeful
William Smith in two OTs
By ROBERT W. BUNNELL I
Staff Writer
Earlier this season, the Lady Danes
basketball team had exhibited two styles
of play. They would have a strong first
half in one game and a strong second half
in the next.
“The only thing left is to have two good
halves [in the same game] and win,”
Albany head coach Mari Warner said.
‘Warmer had forgotten about overtime.
Having lost two in a row, the Lady
Danes had a tough task to face
Wednesday night for the celebrated and
highly anticipated official opening of the
Recreation and Convocation Center
(RACC).
The Herons of William Smith College,
the New York State champions, were on
campus for the first home game of the
season, and they were looking for blood.
Last March, the Lady Danes hosted
‘William Smith for what would be the last
ever Albany victory in University Gym. It
was the first round of the NCAA
Tournament.
ridden first half. There were 31 total fouls
by the break, and both teams were
shooting in the bonus situation before the
10 minute mark.
Trouble inside was also a key factor.
Albany was only outrebounded by two in
the half, but freshman Erica Witham and
senior captain Casey Stanley, two of the
Lady Danes key inside players, went into
the locker room with three fouls apiece,
along with junior guard Noelle DeLuca
and sophomore guard Mickey Smith.
Much as they did in the season opening
72-56 win over Rensselaer, the Lady
Danes metamorphosized in the second
half.
The going got tough for both teams
early on after the break. Six and a half
minutes into the second half, each team
had scored only nine points apiece and
the score stood at 50-41. Warner needed a
better place to eliminate the nine point
shortage and called for a timeout at 13:23.
Something clicked in a huddle on
court-side after the Lady Danes called
timeout. The game had appeared to drag
up to that point, partially due to the

The Lady Danes manhandled the
Herons, 67-50, knocking them out of the
Tournament in the first round while
holding them to more than 15 points
below their season average.
That was a bitter way for the Herons’
season to end, and they wanted to repay
the favor by leaving a bitter taste in the
Lady Danes’ mouth to begin their new
campaign.
And now the Herons are even more
bitter. The Lady Danes prevailed after a
nerve-racking two overtimes to win, 97-
91.
The first half of the rematch went much
as William Smith had desired. Down 19-
13 midway through the first period, the
Herons began doing one thing better than
the Lady Danes. They were making their
shots.
After a 14-4 spurt, William Smith led
27-23 with 6:18 left, and the Lady Danes
were forced to call a timeout. It did not
seem to have much effect as the Herons
continued their consistent play to extend:
their lead to 41-32 by halftime, a 15-point
swing in approximately 10 minutes of
play.
The halftime statistics clearly displayed
the reason for the Lady Danes’ deficit.
They shot under 30% from the field and
only 50% from the free throw line.
The Herons drained 41% from the floor
and hit 16 of 21 free throws in a foul
abundance of fouls. There was a dramatic
tempo adjustment.
A 16-7 stint, including all of freshman
Margaret Feerick’s seven points, brought
the Lady Danes new life with 9:44
remaining.
Regulation was tooth and nail the rest
of the way. Albany worked its biggest
lead of the half at 70-65, with 5:14
remaining after Stanley hit two free
throws.
The Herons hung tough, however, and

Danes pummel Castleton
behind Graber's 30 points
By PATRICK CULLEN
Managing Editor
It was billed as the inaugural men’s
basketball game at Albany’s brand-new
Recreation and Convocation Center
(RACC). Pomp and circumstance and
ceremony were abound as a new era
in Albany athletics was ushered in on
Wednesday night.
But when it came to the highlights,
it was Jason Graber and Garry
Murray who stole the show.
The Great Danes’ junior co-
captains turned in dominating
performances in a decisive 76-55 win
over Castleton State of Vermont (2-
3), making Albany’s first-ever game
at the RACC one to remember rather
than forget.
Albany (3-1) defeated the Spartans
in much the same fashion last year
when it won, 76-51, at University
Gym.
Graber was dead on target all night
long, draining 11 of his 13 shots and
all six of his free throws on the way
to his best night as a Dane. He scored
30 points, eclipsing his previous mark
of 27 points, set against Montclair
State and ironically, Castleton last
year,
half, Graber had already dropped in 20
points.
He also pulled down five rebounds and
had three steals.
* Murray fueled the Danes’ lethal fast
break all night, pushing the ball up the
court at every chance, wearing down the
Spartans’ energy.
Murray found time to score, pumping
in 22 points on eight for 11 shooting from
the field. He grabbed six rebounds, dished
out four assists and stole the ball four
times in an all-around solid performance.
It was typical Great Dane basketball as
the game opened. The Danes jumped out
to an early 14-6 lead fueled by a
swarming defense that caused Spartan
tumover after turnover.
One was reminded of the Capital
District Tournament, where Albany
jumped out to sizeable early leads against
Skidmore and Rensselaer,
After Graber hit two free throws to
open the scoring, Murray stole the ball
from Castleton freshman guard Alan
LaRoche at halfcourt and drove in for a
layup.

fouled on the'fast break.

reserve forwards Jason Girnius and Steve
Brennan, both juniors.
Both responded with nice performances
that may warrant them more playing time
in the future.
Girnius had seven points, four
rebounds, and two steals and played solid
defense in his 15 minutes on the floor.
Brennan showed his defensive side in
his 19 minutes of playing time, blocking
two shots and stealing two passes while
he helped hamper the Spartans’ offensive
game.
“Girnius put forth a great effort,”
Sauers glowed. “He ‘s tome a long way.
T’m very pleased.”
“Brennan did very well tonight too,”
Sauers added.
On Albany’s first possession of the
second half, Murray buried a three-
pointer from the left baseline. Graber
followed with two free throws and a tip-in
off a Hotaling miss to give the Danes an
insurmountable 21-point lead, 52-33, with

immediate one, of the veteran
players, and their health are the
other two.
Warner is very pleased with
her team’s pre-season position.
Last year, the Lady Danes
surprised many people with their
great success, especially
following the 10-14 performance
of two years ago. This year
teams will be expecting them, or
will they?
Albany has lost five players
from last year’s team that went
22-5 and found itself in the
NCAA Tournament’s “Sweet
Sixteen.” Among the losses was
the team’s leading rebounder
(9.9 rebounds per game) and
scorer (12.1 points per game)
from last season, Tam Morrissey.
Laurie Annunziato, the player
with the second most career
steals (237) and assists (352) in
Lady Dane history is also gone.
Annunziato was the team’s
leading three-point threat in
1991-92 with 23 buckets from
beyond the arc. The loss of
Faith Miller will also be felt.
Miller dished out 73 assists and
was third on the team in steals

make great impacts, particularly
early in the season while the new
faces learn the Danes’ system.
5-10 senior Ikeuchi Franklin will
need to find her potential for
domination inside. Last season —
Franklin was second on the
squad in both points and
prowess is not her leading
attribute. “Casey’s leadership is
invaluable,” according to
Warner.
Stanley’s back-up will be 5'9"
sophomore Alyssa Kapelas.
Kapelas’ role will be very
similar to that of Witham. She
will be in the tough position of
playing two-minute fill-in spurts.
But she will be expected to be an
impact in her limited court-time.
She is a strong defensive player
and, for the Lady Danes’
success, it could be “critical as
far as how quickly she
understands [the Lady Danes’
system],” according to Warner.
The health of these inside
players will be crucial. There is
little bench support in the paint
for the Lady Danes this season,
and the loss of any of these four
players could be detrimental to
the entire season. Witham and
Kapelas are being thrust into
important roles on a team with a
complex playbook. They need
to adapt quickly to save the
team from a potential early
season slump.
The guard positions have a
greater abundance of support,
but that does not mean that
there is relief of any
expectations for the returning
players around the perimeter.
Senior Tanya Johnson and
junior Lynda Nealis, the Danes
scoring leaders at the guard
position from a year ago, will
be pointed to often for
contributions.
Nealis forced the coaching
staff to give her a starting
position by the end of last
season. Playing considerably
fewer minutes than the rest of
the regulars, Nealis dumped in
10.2 points per game. She also
broke the Lady Danes’ single
season free throw percentage
record by hitting 73.4% from
the stripe. She was tied for the
team lead in attempts from the
line with 94, so it was not lucky
shooting.
After leading the team in
scoring as a sophomore, Tanya
The Lady Danes’ Lynda Nealis drives to the hoop.
Johnson had somewhat of an off-
year in 91-92. She finished
fourth on the team with 8.8
points per game. She did,
however, lead the team with 110
assists, moving her into fourth
place on Albany’s all-time list in
that category with 241.
Senior Sue Jackey, who has
had a tough time in past seasons,
will be expected to contribute six
to 10 points per game this year.
Jackey has averaged just 2.2
points per game in the three
years of her career.
Sophomore Renee Boxill will,
surprisingly, be another key
component for the Lady Danes.
She received little playing time
after making the team as a walk-
on a year ago. Her defensive
abilities have always been
strong, but she will need to be an
offense threat as well. Boxill
left the bench in only 11 games
last season, but will see much
more time this season.
Mickey Smith will be a key
returner. “We’re looking to her
as a solid veteran as a
sophomore,” said Warner. Smith
saw a fair amount of court time
as freshman and will be one of
the main cogs as a quarterback
of the Lady Danes’ machine this
season. Smith averaged three
points and 1.5 assists in under 10
minutes per game last season as
a freshman.
The success of the returning
crew will be more crucial early
File Photo
in the season as the new players
learn the system. The later
starting date for practice set by
the NCAA has hurt the Lady
Danes. Last year teams could
practice on October 15. This
_ year, they lost two weeks.
The Danes change up on
defense frequently, according to
Warner. “We haven’t even
gotten to two defenses, yet,” said
Warner, five days before the
Capital District Tournament.
“Right now I’m very positive of
this team. I’ve thrown a lot at
them, and they’ ve accepted it.”
The continued attentiveness of
the new-comers will be key to
the Lady Danes success later in
the season. The NCAA's back-
up from October 15 to
November 1 for the first day of
Practice could prove costly to
teams, like Albany’s, who have
complex systems.
Among the players expected
to make impacts at the guard
positions are Noelle DeLucca
and Margaret Feerick, DeLucca,
a transfer from Delhi, is very
strong and talented. Warner
expects great things from her.
“It’s a matter of understanding
the system,” said Warner.
Feerick is the Lady Danes’
“up and coming point guard,”
according to Warner. She has
tremendous passing and
penetration skills.

Albany basketball steps into 1992-93
Great Danes look to run and gun to outlast opponents
eS
By PATRICK CULLEN
Managing Editor
As the Great Danes’ 1992-93
season moves along, one
question will emerge out of the
minds of the Albany men’s
basketball program and those
who follow it: Can the Danes
make it back to the NCAA
Tournament, and if so, can they
top last year’s second round
appearance and go even further?
This year’s Great Dane
basketball team faces
expectations that come naturally
from the success of a year ago.
To go further, there is nothing
simpler than that.
The catch is that this year the
Danes are a team with almost a
completely different look. Four
starters and a key reserve have
all parted their ways with
Albany, leaving an entirely
Lawrence University and the
other to Allegany College.
Things looked up after three
consecutive wins, over Castleton
State, Alfred University, and
Southern Maine.
Sauers sat perched on the
precipice with 599 wins. But the
Danes blew their first chance by
playing lousy basketball against
Ithaca, losing, 69-61.
Albany’s last chance before
the winter break was to beat
Hamilton College, which came
in-as one of the powerhouses of
Division III basketball. The
Danes were tantalizingly close,
but they were nipped 73-71 in
the final minute. Albany went
into the break with spirits down.
Albany came back after the
break to play Montclair State
(NJ). The resulting 69-56 win
over Montclair was not only
Sauers’ 600th career win but a

different group of players to
build on the success of last year.
Gone are Eddie Feller, Jeff
Famsworth, Bobby Miller, Alex
McClearn, and Steve Ries, all
integral parts of last year’s
success story.
Last year could be called a
tale of two seasons. The first
season was the time before
Albany head coach Richard
“Doc” Sauers’ milestone 600th
career victory. The second
season was the time after
Sauers’ achievement.
It was in these two seasons
release of the pressure cooker
that the Danes had been in. End
of the first season.
“They were worried about
getting the 600th win,” Sauers
remembered. “Once we got the
600th, they relaxed and got
confidence.”
The Danes were a team
possessed after achieving the
milestone for their coach. The
proceeded to go on a 14-game
win streak that tured the dream
of an NCAA bid from a fallacy
into a reality.

season finale, an NCAA bid was
on the line. The winner would
go to the tournament and the
other would sit at home and
wonder what might have been.
Albany avenged its earlier
sophomore. On a summer trip to
Mexico before he started his
sophomore year, Graber was the
team’s leading scorer and helped
the Danes to sweep their

to his 37th season of Jones
coaching at the
University at Albany.
“For the starters, I just picked
the best combination of
experience and skill.”
It starts with junior co-
captains Jason Graber and Garry
Murray. Graber is only
remaining starter from last
year’s lineup and has the most
experience of any player on the
team.
After spending, most of his
freshman year on the junior
varsity squad, Graber
immediately became the Danes’
main offensive weapon as a
Mexican opponents.
Graber led the team with 17.5
points per game, 60 steals, 20
blocks, and an incredible 61.3%
field goal percentage. He
averaged 5,4 rebounds per game
(second on the team) and
converted over 80 percent of his
free throws.
A native of Pattersonville and
a graduate of Schalmont High
School, Graber will reamin the
Danes’ offensive weapon this
year, even though the offensive
system has changed.
A bolder, fast-break, running
up the floor as fast as possible to
outrun and outgun the opposing
transition defense. The idea is
that in the closing minutes of the
game, the opposing team will be
tired out and the Danes will have
the asdvatage going into the
stretch.
“All of our guys run the court
well,” junior forward Paul
Fitzpatrick said. “The last 10
minutes of the game the other
team will be dogging it while
we're still fresh.”
From the looks of Albany’s
early season results, the Danes
are flourishing in this system.

Things looking up for Dane junior varsity
By ERIC DAGNALL
Associate Sports Editor
As winter arrives so does another basketball
season.
Unlike varsity teams, junior varsity has to deal
with a different squad each year, making it
difficult to predict the chances of the team.
Two years ago, Albany JV basketball had an
outstanding year, compiling a 17-3 record. Last
year however, their record fell to 9-11.
“We were a much better team than our record
reflected,” Albany coach James Jones reflected,
“Our problem was that we just didn’t gel the way I
would have liked.”
Jones was quick to add that JV is only a
developmental system that is geared toward
familiarizing the players with the system in
preparation for varsity.
Proof of this comes when you look at this year’s
varsity squad. Starters Jason Graber, Jason Ferrier,
Ted Hotaling, Jamie Knight and Paul Fitzpatrick
all played junior varsity ball before being
promoted to the varsity.
When discussing the team, Jones was optimistic.
“In comparison to past teams, this is one of
better one’s I’ve coached,” he offered.

voice it was obvious that he would not
take less than 100 percent from his
players.
“I would rather have five players
who have the desire to win than five
players who have ability and don’t
give all they have,” he said with
firmness.
“If you play hard, you’ll get more
minutes,” Jones added. This tough all
out play shows in the defense. The
defense is probably the strongest part
of the team and will be stressed in the
first few games of the season. The
defense will be man-to-man
throughout the game.
This year’s team is composed of
twelve freshman and one sophomore.
All will be fighting for precious
minutes of playing time.
Two players will be following in the
footsteps of their brothers this year.
Josh Graber, whose brother Jason is a
forward on the varsity squad, will play
the guard and small forward positions.
Jamie Ferrier’s brother Jason is also on
varsity. He will also split time between
the guard and small forward positions.
Josh Young, who practiced with the
varsity squad, will probably be
fighting for the starting point guard
position with Mike Remhild.
~ Guard Rob Seiffert and center Fuchs
also practiced with the varsity team
and will probably see more minutes
than other players. Fuchs is the big
man on the team and will be
formidable in the paint,
Though listed as 6-9, Jones says he is
more like 6-11. He will be looked upon
as a shot blocker and rebounder, and
will anchor the Albany defense.
Burks is a strong perimeter shooter
with a soft touch, His outside shot will
opposing defenses honest and will free
up the middle. Other perimeter
shooters include George Yund and
Mark Callender.
Forwards on the team include Brad
Richman, and Eric Drimmer. Bigman
Gerard Alleyne will split time between
power forward and center and probably
will be joined by Chris Feiler.
In their first game the Danes
produced a strong performance in a 87-
74 trouncing of Plattsburgh. Albany
had a thirty-six point lead before
Plattsburgh closed the gap in mostly
garbage time.

lackluster performance permitted the

Life is more than basketball to Garry Murray
By PATRICK CULLEN

When Garry Murray came to school
here in Albany in 1990, he wasn’t so sure
as to how playing basketball and taking
classes would fit together. Just over two
years later, the junior co-captain is the
Great Danes’ starting point guard and the
owner of 3.03 grade point average.
A graduate of Mount Pleasant High

Sauers will be inducted into the New York State
Basketball Hall of Fame this Sunday at the Glens
Falls Civic Center. Sauers is starting his 37th year
as coach of Albany men’s basketball.
Last January 4th, he joined the illustrious ranks
of the 600-win club when the Danes beat Montclair
State (NJ). His record now satnds at 618-286.

Danes.
“College basketball is once in a
lifetime, not a lifetime thing,” he said. “I
value my education because I can’t do it
again.”
“Basketball is just extracurricular,” he
continued. “Education is a lifelong
thing.”
Murray first started playing basketball
on the streets of Albany, where he grew
up. He honed his talents against his
friends and at places like the Arbor Hill
Community Center, but he felt he wasn’t
exactly the basketball type.
“T wasn’t really basketball minded,” he
remembered. “My friends were the ones
who got me into it.”
He joined the Albany High School
team as a sophomore in 1987. After
moving the next year to Schnectady,
Murray joined forces with then-Mount
Pleasant coach and current Albany
assistant coach Gary DiNola.
After DiNola stepped down as coach
following Murray’s junior year, Murray
became captain of the team in his senior
season,
After spending his first two seasons
coming off the bench, Murray now finds
himself in the center stage as the team’s
floor general and co-captain along with
junior forward Jason Graber, the Danes’
leading scorer last season.
“T have to lead by both actions and by
words,” he mused, referring to his role.
“My job is being a motivator. I get the
guys to want to be there. I influence them
to do what is right.”

leaders,” he said. “It’s going to be hard to
take over for them.”
This year, the Danes are a team with no
seniors on the roster. The role of captain
takes on even more importance with this
fact.
On offense this year, the Danes are
making a shift from the halfcourt, ball
control offense used last year to a fast-
paced, run and gun style that uses
turnovers and team quickness as its fuel.
Murray is at the forefront of this
change. It will be his job to cause the
turnovers and make the steals (45 last
year) and run the fast break that will
make or break Albany this year.
Murray feels right at home with the
system. “I don’t like the slowed-up
game,” he said. “We have the personnel
to run with anybody. We just need to put
it to use.”
Most recently, Murray scored 22
points, grabbed six rebounds, stole the
ball four times and dished out four assists
in a 76-55 win over Castleton State
Murray was third in assists last year
with 67. He looks to pile up the assists as
he engineers an Albany offense that
produced just over 75 points per game
last year.

however.
Stanley decided to stay in her
native Capital District and go
to the University at Albany.
The rest is history.
A graduate of Linton High
School in Schnectady, Stanley,
a senior, was named the Lady
Danes’ captain for 1992-93.
Her role is extremely
important due to the fact that
seven new players have joined
the ranks of the Lady Danes.
All that in a year in which
the NCAA cut the practice

way back to November Ist, a

Of course, back in 1989, no one
knew what type of basketball
player and leader she would tum.
But most recently, they came up
big against New York State
champion William Smith College,
beating the Herons, 97-91, in
double overtime at the Recreation
and Convocation Center.
Last March, the Lady Danes
eliminated the Herons from the
NCAA tournament with a
gratifying 67-50 victory at
University Gym.
“Beating William Smith was the

said.

the Lady Danes led by just one at 74-73
with under one minute to play. With 0:36
on the clock, junior Lynda Nealis came
through in the clutch to drain a 12-foot
jumper, giving Albany a three-point edge.
The Herons came in as a team that lives
and dies by the three-point shot. After a
William Smith timeout with 20 seconds
remaining, the Lady Danes appeared to
have an edge.
The Herons’ Jill Brower, who would
Jead all scorers with 28 points, had hit
only one of eight three pointers on the
evening up to that point. With five
seconds left, she launched one from 22
feet and it would be the only attempt that
would be remembered. Regulation ended
at 76-76 after the net swished and
Albany’s Tanya Johnson called timeout
too late with 2.4 seconds left.
The Lady Danes were forced to catch
up again in the five-minute overtime as
they fell behind 83-80 with 2:54 left.
Nealis hit a layup with 1:51 to go to cut
the lead to one, but she blew a potentially
crucial layin with Albany down, 84-82,
with under a minute left.
The weight of the blown layup was
taken off Nealis’ shoulders when Tanya
Johnson crawled through a crowd and
went Coast to coast with 20 seconds left in
the first overtime to tie the game at 84-84.
Three seconds later, Brower gave the
ball away and Albany called timeout with
16.8 seconds left to attempt to win the
game. Johnson’s drive through the paint
with two seconds left wouldn’t fall and it
was time for second overtime.
Lady Dane senior Ikeuchi Franklin
dominated the second overtime. Scoring
the first five Albany points, Franklin
single-handedly gave the Lady Danes an
89-86 edge with 3:15 to play.
Leading 89-88, Franklin added her
third of four blocked shots and snagged
the rebound, keeping the Herons from
regaining the lead.
After another blocked shot by Franklin
and senior Sue Jackey’s three-pointer,
which brought the crowd and Albany’s
bench to its feet, the Herons were
scraping, down 93-88 with 1:22 left.
Franklin was once again the center of
attention as she drew a charge from
William Smith’s Melissa Brown.
Down by five and without the ball,
William Smith called timeout with 1:16
on the clock. In an unavoidable fouling
situation for the Herons, the Lady Danes
were tough in the clutch. Johnson hit four
straight free throws in one and one
Situations to clinch the 97-91 double
overtime victory.
“When there was ten seconds left, I just
jumped and threw everything around. I
knew they couldn’t score six points in 10
seconds,” Wamer said.
’ Stanley and Franklin combined to equal
William Smith’s total rebounding after
halftime with 24.
Franklin finished with 27 points, 19
boards (tying her career best), while
Stanley snatched up 18 rebounds to go
with her 14 points.
The celebration in the locker room after
the win was a pleasant sound, especially
after the Lady Danes last game, a loss at
Binghamton on November 24.
The Lady Danes had 25 turnovers in
the 69-61 loss to the Colonials. The only
Lady Dane who appeared to show up was
Franklin, who led the Danes with 20
points and all players with 11 rebounds.
Binghamton’s Robyn LeBel threw in 26
points, including 20 in the second half to
drown the Danes in their last of three road
games before the home-opener.
The Lady Danes next game is at the
RACC against New York University.

margin.
“T wasn’t pleased with our execution,”
he said. “It was individual efforts and
breakaways {fast breaks] that won us the
game, not the team.”
Still, Sauers had to be pleased with a
team that caused 24 turnovers, including
18 steals.
Albany held Castleton to 38 percent
from the floor while shooting 53 percent
(63 percent in the first half) for the game
itself.
The Spartans were led by senior guard
Mike Lyons, a native of Rensselaer, who
scored 18 points. Senior forward Brian
Otis had 11 points and Albany native
Jimmy Lawson, a junior forward, had ten
points in front of a hometown crowd.
Albany’s win over Castleton helped to
ease the sting of a 61-55 loss to
Binghamton State on November 24th at
the Binghamton West Gymnasium.
The tale of the tape was Albany’s field
goal percentage, a slight 38 percent
compared to the Colonials, who shot well
to end up at 59 percent.
The Danes took 17 three-point shots,
making only three of them.
Forward Jeff Merrill was a thom in the
Danes’ side, draining 10 of his 12 shots to
end with 22 points. His 12 rebounds
paced the Colonials, who also received 19

any
then we need to question its value as compared to
education of the mind.
As it stands now, athletics are funded by the Student
Sssociation. When we write our budget each year,
through direct election of Central Council, we can
examine its needs, purposes and problems, and then
address those needs, validate those purposes, and remedy
those problems.
Not if it becomes a mandatory fee. Then it will be that
money, every year from every person, no matter what.
Where are the priorities, is it placing yet another tax
burden on the students for the sake of an athletic
program? Why not a fee to restore class cuts, to buy new
computers, to repair old buildings, to expand the ever
burgeoning and never essential Asian Studies
Department? Let’s look at our position as the flagship
campus of a major university system. Let’s examine our
goals, our role in society.
This referendum has been rammed down our throats.
At one meeting of Central Council, a member of its
ICAC committee blasted Central Council for not doing
its job in educatng students about the fee and its
ramifications. At the following meeting, he and the rest
of the ICAC (Intercollegiate. Athletics) accepted the
responsibility of educating students about the fee. They
agreed to write pro and con position papers on the fee for
thé Podium Press, although it was pointed out that the
Press would not be released until after the referendum.
Needless to say, despite the fact that the ASP is
published twice weekly, those position papers were
never written. The following week, the same member of
the ICAC blasted the Student Assuciation Execytive
Board for not educating students about the fee, and he
did it on the front page of the ASP. My own belated
efforts to educate students about the fee only surface on
page 16 of that same issue.
Let me make this crystal clear one last time: The
biggest concern of those that want this fee to pass is that
you, the Student Body at Large be educated in the most
limited way possible. The less you know, while still
knowing something, is the best possible situation for
them,
Point: Fall elections have had traditionally dismal
turnouts. Special Elections have had even lower ones
and are thus easy to sway by special interest votes. The
ICAC, on record at a Central Council meeting, let it be
known that they had “over 400 students ready to vote yes
on the fee.” They then accepted the role of nonpartisan
education about that fee, failed that responsibility, and
blamed someone else.
Point and Double Point: I’ve said this before and been
contradicted, but this is the way the SA budget process
works. If the fee is implemented in 93-94, it will be
looked at that year by the budget committee. They will
need to decide whether or not to lower the activity fee.
They may lower it an equal amount to dollars formerly
given to athletics. In such a case there will be no
EXTRA MONEY for ANY GROUPS. If they decide to
lower it a little, that will go on referendum that same
year, and effect the following year (‘94-"95). It will be
the 94-’95 Budget Committee which will allocate any
extra money which might remain, and that means those
allocations will not go into effect until the ‘95-"96 school
year. Those people who tell you that money in the SA
could go to SA groups if the fee passes are not telling
you that this will not happen for another four years.
‘They are trying to lull you into voting for this fee.
I am acting belatedly. I an now understanding the
devices used to lead me into complacency. Now we
must start cutting away at the web of misdirection,
miscommunication, and misunderstanding that has
sprung up around us. Now we must get our heads clear,
and act in a responsible and educated manner.

Somalian aid questioned
To the Editor:
The call for military action in Somalia, by our elected
political leaders, has deeply concerned and troubled me.
It is not the helping of the Somalian people that bothers
me, it is the fact that people are starving in this country .
I question the true loyalty of these elected leaders, who
do they care more for the Somalian people or the people
of their own country. I would like to see 30,000 troops
assigned to the war on drugs, that would help clean this
country up and make us more able to help the world
through their problems. We must get our house in order
before we can help others, charity starts at home.
Feed America first, win the war on drugs, make
education and health care better and more affordable,
cure AIDS, end homelessness... could go on for pages
= do to better itself.
sting not helping the Somalians, but to
go as ‘far as\to send troops that, in my opinion, is
uncalled-fer. During this holiday season and after, lets
all try to maké this country be a better place to live, then
we can work on making the world a better place.
Peter M. Olsom
Scared by KXA's ideas
To the Editor:
1 am writing this as an open letter to the University
commi in an attempt to capture even a small part of
the disgust and anger I felt as I read the letter # the
Editor by Kappa Sigma Alpha regarding NWROC in the
November 20th issue of the ASP.
The issues I focus on have nothing to do with the
sexual assault allegations or accusations, the reasons for
Kappa Sigma Alpha’s suspension from campus
activities, or NWROC’s philosophy and practices on this
campus. After I read this letter, I was genuinely
frightened, for both myself and all the women on this
campus. The tone of this letter is not only blatantly
heterosexist, chauvinistic and anti-human rights; it is
severely threatening to my own security of mind and
being, and displays the authors’ ignorance.
The first point I wish to exemplify is the issue of
power. “NWROC is an organization that has clearly
taken their power way too far.” The letters NWROC
stand for National Women’s Rights Organizing
Coalition. Would it be necessary for such an
organization to exist if women were not only treated but
viewed with equality in our society? If a person were
only to examine history for a moment, it would be very
easy to see that women in our nation, and on our campus,
have never been nor are presently in a position of power
as a whole-that right has only been made available to the
white male, How can an organization that represents
such a large group of people which are underrepresented
in government, business and our own administration
abuse something, such as power, which they do not
have?
My second point is the issue of hypocracy. Kappa
Sigma Alpha proclaims, of NWROC: “Charging to such
a juvenile action as graffiti on account of scuttlebutt
should prove to the members of the student body that
you feminists are no better than common criminals guilty
of vandalism.” This charge by Kappa Sigma Alpha is
also one which has not been proven and is being made
“on account of a rumor...” This reveals the authors to be
guilty of the same crime they are so eager to indict
NWROC of.
My third point revolves around the sentence I just
quoted from Kappa sigma Alpha’s letter, and is perhaps
the part which most disturbed me. The use of the phrase
“you feminists are no better than common criminals.”
is not only laced with fear masked by a superior attimde,
but is exactly of the attitude which breeds hatred and
bigotry in our society. I wonder if the authors even
understand what feminism is. I could not expect
everyone to know and understand the ins and outs of
feminist ideology-I shamefully admit that I am not
sufficiently educated in this area-but, it doesn’t take too
much effort for a person to open a Webster’s dictionary
and find the definition of feminism, which reads as
follows: “Feminism-the principle that women should
have political, economic and social rights equal to those
of men.” This is not a female issue, or a criminal issue;
this is a human issue.
Kappa Sigma Alpha is an organization which has been
suspended from campus activities until 1996, for
whatever the reasons may be, and at the point of
suspension had approximately 40 members. This letter

take more than 20 people to put
some pressure on the police.”
Under the umbrella
organization Coalition for the
Action Against Racist Violence
(CAARV), NWROC, RWL and
other. interested independents
plan to protest again in front of
the State Capital building on
Saturday. Felarca said she does
Not expect other campus groups
to make an official appearance.
Raina Wilson, a member of
Fuerza Latina, fairly well
reflected the sentiment of other
groups concerned when she said
any action her organization will
take “has to be planned
Strategically, it has to be done
intelligently, or lese we’re not
going to get anywhere.”
Any such action, according to
ASUBA Candance Rosa
Clemente, will be in conjunction
with the Cohen family.
Clemente said she expects those
steps to at first include working
within the system, and in the
event that doesn’t bring about
results, ASUBA will consider
demonstrating with the Cohen
family, African and Latino
groups, Affirmative Action and
Iso.
One concern that Clemente
voiced was that if indeed Joseph
Cohen’s death was the result of a
“lynching”, there is the chanee
that what she called
“reactionary” protest might
provoke other murders of black

- Yet, Clemente denies the idea

is radical because it goes against
the establishment, who said it
‘was a suicide,” she said.
What remains to be seen is
whether all the organizations
who believe justice was ill-
served in the case of Joseph
Cohen can come together in a
more broadly-based coalition
while some groups, though not
all, have expressed a
willingness to do so, right now it
does not seem very likely.
“We're steadfast in our
position that our way is the only
way to win justice,’ said
Lerman.
However, Awilda Martinez,
Director of the Affirmative

Staff Writer
A small, culturally varied audience
gathered in the State Flagroom last Tuesday
to open Asian American Awareness Week
and listen to speak about the future of
Chines culture. Hartmann, Chairman of
SUNYA”s Department of East Asian
studies discussed what he believed to be the
fate of Chinese culture.
Hartman defined a culture as being either
a group of people sharing a bond or the
way that life is enhanced by the past. He
described Chinese culture as one that is
defined by language and said that the
vitality of Chinese culture could be
determined by the language that children
are taught.
Hartman spoke about the political aspects
of changing the language characters that
are taught and cited Mao Zedong ‘s attempt
to cut off the language that Chinese
children were being taught from their
parents to succeed in dividing the country
and instilling new values. Mao wanted to
cut a rift between the modern Chinese
people and their cultural history.
The Chinese have a traditional extended
family with a great support structure that
could hinder them in adjusting in the
transition into a more developed,
technologically advanced culture, said
Hartman. As individuals get more mobile,
the traditional families begin to break
down, he said.
Hartman’s final note, was on the public
and private aspects of a family. The public
aspect is that which is controlled by the
government, items of the “High Culture”
such as art, plays, and classical music are
answerable to and manipulated by the
government, everything must be “officially
approved”, he said.
Private culture is how a person relates to
the surroundings and the impression he has
of the past and the future. It is entirely a
personal choice and decision, and how
much of the public culture that will be
accepted or rejected is decided by the
individual, Hartman said.
When asked what he thought would
happen with the future of the Chinese
society over the next forty years, Hartman
laughed and responded by saying , “I am
not a fortune teller...but I would say they
are going to do well.” He said he based his
prediction upon the community. that the
[Future of Chinese culture is in language
Chinese people have and the awareness of
the Chinese-Americans of the need to
educate their children in modern ways.
Hartman’s presentation dealt a lot with
how the Chinese people who are not in
mainland China will retain their culture.
Professor Hartman thought that society
should “let the people should decide” as to
which groups together and that society
should “keep, essentially politics out of it.”
One student found most of what Hartman
was saying to be idealistic and resisted the
notion of cultural assimilation. “Political
power of the dominant culture usually
prevails over the other countries,” said
Zufreng Lei, a Chinese student attending
the lecture.
The purpose of Asian American
Awareness Week is to make more people
aware of the different cultures of Asia,
especially Chinese cultures. These events
are co-sponsored with the Geography and
Planning Department, the East Asian
Studies, the Dean of Undergraduate
Studies, the Academic Support Services,
the Korean Student Association and the
Asian American Alliance, and Resident
Associations on various quads.

On Sunday Nov.22, the SUNY Albany
men’s hockey club came back to tie the
SUNY Stonybrook Patriots (2-2-1) 4-4.
Junior Dave Tuchman tied up the game
with only 3:17 remaining in the third
period on an awesome slapshot from
inside the blue line that found the top
right corner of the net. Tuchman was
assisted by Ryan McDonald.
The game was filled with great
intensity and outstanding goaltending on
both sides.
The Patriots fired 50 shots at Albany
goalie Brad Topper, who was incredibly
sharp in net. The Great Danes tallied 32
shots on net,
Albany started off the game red-hot.
Ryan McDonald skated in and scored
unassisted in the game’s first two minutes
on an excellent wrist shot from out in
front of the net.
Ben Domingo scored Albany’s second
goal, two minutes later, for a 2-0 lead.
Alex Anderson set up the goal after
breaking up Stonybrook’s play at their
own blue line and skating in up the right
side all alone. Anderson’s breakaway
attempt was saved, but Domingo was
there to bang in the rebound.
The Patriots came right back with their
own offense. With 15:38 remaining in the
first period, Brian Karp scored to cut
Albany’s lead to 2-1.
The Patriots tied the game at two when
Scott Kendrick scored 3 minutes later.
The play was set up after an Albany pass
was stolen fifteen feet in front of
Stonybrook’s net. Kendrick scored on a
backdoor rebound off an incredible stop
by Albany goalie Topper.
The Danes, however, retaliated when
junior Tim Fox scored to regain the lead
at 3-2. He was assisted by Tuchman.
The Patriots started the second period
with intense pressure. Albany goalie
Topper sprawled to the ground to make
two outstanding saves - one on a rebound
in the first two minutes of the second
Hockey club skates to tie versus Stony Brook
eecRy Stonybrook tied the game at
three with twelve minutes left in the
second on a powerplay goal. The goal
was set up from a great feed from Jason
Musengo. Musengo’s pass came right out
in front to set up the anxiously awaiting
Scott Kendrick.
With one minute left in the second
period, Albany’s McDonald was charged
with a five minute major for hitting from
behind (automatic major when five feet
from the boards).
This was a crucial point in the game, as
Albany played incredible defense and
killed the penalty.
Albany had a flurry of four consecutive
shots on an offensive spurt but all were
stopped.
Midway through the third period, the
Patriots took a 4-3 advantage on a
powerplay goal. Kendrick scored on an
excellent set-up in front by teammates
Geoff Hulse and Eric Wuss.
Albany began to apply heavy pressure
in the game’s final five minutes. With
3:17 remaining Tuchman, after being
robbed with 4 minutes left on a close shot
in front, scored the dramatic tying goal on
an incredible slapshot from inside the
blue line that found the right top corner of
the net. McDonald assisted Tuchman on
the play.
It appeared that Albany scored again
with 2:45 left, but the play was whistled
dead as Albany’s Tom Amedeo was
called for a ten minute misconduct.
Albany’s dramatic 4-4 tie had the team
in high spirits after being defeated
Saturday night at Manst College.
The next game is Saturday against
Siena College. The Danes play their
home games at Albany Academy. To get

(AP) As three more people
§ came forward with allegations
i against Marge Schott and a
i former player threatening to sue,
two of her Cincinnati Reds co-
i owners asked Wednesday for
her resignation.
Sen. Howard Metzenbaum
(2 said he would bring up Schott’s
alleged racial remarks at a
Senate hearing next week and a
house of the Illinois legislature
approved a resolution on
Wednesday asking that Schott
be kicked out of baseball,
j Two of the Reds’ seven
limited partners, Cincinnati
businessman George Strike and
Chicago bookstore chain owner
Carl Kroch, issued a statement
i demanding that Schott resign as

chief executive officer if she

“We feel that there’s no place
in baseball for bigotry or racial
slurs,” Strike said. “Too many
reports of Mrs. Schott’s racial
slurs have occurred for us to
remain silent.”
Metzenbaum, an Ohio
Democrat who once owned part
of the Cleveland Indians, said he
was appalled at Schott’s
comment:
“Hitler was good in the
beginning, but he went too far.”
The comment was reported in
The New York Times on
Sunday.
Metzenbaum will chair a
Senate Judiciary antitrust
subcommittee meeting on
baseball Dec. 10, and said he
will discuss Schott. Executive
council chairman, Bud Selig, is
among the scheduled witnesses.
Former Reds employees and
others have accused Schott of
referring to people as “million-

and “Japs.” She admitted

The ruling executive council on

One of the accusations against
Schott is that she referred to
former Reds outfielder Dave

team from 1984 to 1987.
Parker said he would discuss
legal action with a lawyer and
urged the executive council to

USA Today and the San

new allegations Wednesday.
Roger Blaemire, who directed
the Reds business operations for
nine months in 1985-1986, told
the Chronicle he first heard
Schott refer to a black players as
a “nigger” in September 1985
during a meeting in the office of
general manager Bill Bergesch.
Blaemire, who won a
judgment against Schott after he
was fired in 1986 and settled out
of court, claimed she called

Injury to Byrd shows the
By Elliot Greenbe:
It’s every football players
worst nightmare. Ron Stingley,
Mike Utley, and now Dennis
Byrd all have faced the
frightening reality of the danger
of football.
It’s an unspoken fear, but
everyone who ever puts on
shoulder pads and a helmet
knows of the possibility that
when they walk onto the football
field they may not walk off it.
Of all the questions which one
might ask regarding a paralyzing
injury like Dennis Byrd’s, I
suppose the question which is
most difficult to answer is why?
After all, injuries like this aren’t
supposed to happen to 6’5”, 270
pound giants like Dennis Byrd.
Yet this isn’t the first time
such tragedy has struck, and
unfortunately it probably won’t
be the last time that a player lies
motionless on the field. And
although there might be an
answer that tells us why, I guess
we aren't capable of
understanding that answer.
What we do know is that
sometimes in life it take a
Dennis Byrd or Mike Utley to
force us to appreciate simple
things in life. As Byrd’s
teammate Cary Blanchard
tearfully said, “Dennis just
wants to be able to hug his
daughter.” Yet such a simple
request will forever be a major
dangers of football
task for Dennis Byrd.
I know that I struggle to
understand how a simple game,
a game which I’ve watched and
played nearly all my life, can be
so cruel and punishing. How
can the game which I’ve enjoyed
so much forever change a mans
life? After all, football is a
game, right? People aren’t
supposed to get hurt in games.
That's why they're called games,
because they’re fun.
Well, I’m learning fun isn’t
always winning and losing. And
believe me when I tell you that
for Byrd’s forty-four teammates
fun is simply being able to play,
and walking off the field.
When the Jets play at Buffalo
this weekend there won't be any
“win one for the Gipper”
speeches. And it won’t be
difficult to understand if the Jet
players have their minds
somewhere else. Because
football is a game, and life is
real. Dennis Byrd is real. And
despite however hard you want
to distort things, the truth
remains that when the game
ends, life goes on. Because life
is real.
Yet all too often we treat it
more as a game. And if the only
thing Dennis Byrd teaches us is
that life isn’t a game, then
hopefully it will be a lesson well
learned. A painful and costly
lesson for Dennis Byrd.

Dane wrestlers take down Princeton 24-12
Albany had some success against Boston University last Monday..
By ELLIOTT GREENBERG
When Dane’s wrestling coach
Joe Demeo challanged his team
to “find a sport at which Albany
could defeat Princeton” (a
Division I school), everyone on
the team was silent.
So naturally, after a 24-12
victory over the Tigers this past
weekend everyone, including
Coach Demeo, is enjoying their
hard earned success.
In what was easily one of the
most exciting moments in recent
Dane wrestling history, the
Danes team beat three quality

opponents and won
Princeton Tournament.
Before beating the Tigers to
take first place Albany was able
to cruise past Montclair State
28-12, and thrash Kutztown
College 32-3.
Of the many outstanding
performances over the weekend,
Coach Demeo was quick to
gloat about his five wrestlers
who were undefeated. Rob
Appel, Steve Camisa, John
Pavlin, Van Fronhoffer, and Ray
Adams all were able to escape
without defeat.
But perhaps one of the
the
unsung heroes of the day was
Dan Rascoll, who was able to
defeat Princeton’s Scott Boners
in the 126 weight class.
In the second match of the
meet, with the Danes behind 5-
0, Rascoll was faced with a
difficult opponent.
“He wouldn’t wrestle, and it
was frustrating,” Rascoll would
complain later.
His frustration almost cost
him the match. In the second
period, with a 1-0 lead, Rascoll
attempted a take down. But a
loss of balance caused him to
slip, and Boners was able to
gain the take down. After
allowing an escape in the third
period the match was tied.
Both wrestlers prepared for
overtime. In the overtime
Rascoll believes that “his
superior conditioning paid off.”
Having received a delay
warning earlier Boners, who
appeared to be winded, was
charged a point for his lack of
wrestling. Although admittedly
“it wasn’t the ideal way to win”
Rascoll said, he and the rest of
the team welcomed the victory.
Rascoll was quick to point out
that the overtime match, besides
gaining three points for the
team, “really let Princeton know
that we were for real.”

In another overtime match

left and a 5-3 lead. When he
missed on the takedown, Kernsz
was able to capitalize and spin
