Cuomo re-elected in landslide win
Voter turnout at
record low level
New York
(AP) Gov. Mario Cuomo soared to an im-
pressive re-election victory Tuesday over
Republican challenger Andrew O’Rourke,
setting himself up for a possible 1988
presidential race.
With 98 percent of 14,680 districts
reporting, Cuomo had 2,678,229 votes or
65 percent and O’Rourke had 1,334,950
votes or 32 percent. Nassau County
District Attorney Denis Dillon, the can-
didate of the anti-abortion Right to Life
Party, had 133,526 votes or 3 percent.

Only about half of the state’s eight
million voters went to the polls — a record
low turnout. They went strong for in-
cumbents, re-electing all statewide can-
didates and nearly every other state and
federal office-holder.
The returns indicated Cuomo was head-
ed to a record victory for a New York
governor.
‘The pressure goes on him to make up
his mind what future course he’ll take,”
said Robert Straus, former Democratic na-
tional chairman, of Cuomo’s re-election
win.
“J think this victory is evidence of a new
feeling, a new spirit that says ‘In this state
of course there’s more to do, We know we
can do it,’’? the governor told cheering
supporters in New York City.
However, Cuomo’s victory came with
some lack of enthusiasm, though, as the
voter turnout was an apparent record low
of less than 55 percent of the state’s 8
million registered voters.
The previous low was in 1974, the year
former Gov. Hugh Carey was elected, and
the turnout was 63.1 percent.
The defeat marked the first time the
53-year-old O’Rourke has lost an election
in 12 attempts.
O’Rourke will retain his position as
county executive. He gave no concrete in-
dication of any future political plans.
Also on the New York ballot for gover-
nor was Lenora Fulani of the tiny New
Alliance Party. No vote totals were
available for her.
Students make big showing at polls
By Dean Chang
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Doubling national figures, more than 40
percent of the over 4,000 registered student
voters at SUNYA showed up at local polls
Tuesday, according to Student Association
President Paco Duarte.
Approximately 730 students voted at the
four. uptown polling places, with the
highest turnout at State Quad, which drew
292 student voters.
Exact figures for Alumni Quad and off
campus were not available, but Duarte
estimated the figures at about 170 and 800,
respectively.

There were few surprises at the uptown
polling places, with Gov. Mario Cuomo
leading a near Democratic sweep of the 10
political races on the ballot.
Cuomo tallied 563 votes to Republican
challenger Andrew O’Rourke’s 140 votes
in the gubernatorial race.
Only two Republican candidates were
chosen by uptown SUNYA students, as
U.S. Sen. Alfonse D’Amato narrowly
defeated Democratic candidate Mark
Green, 348 to 333 votes, and State Com-
ptroller Edward Regan beat Democratic
candidate Herman Badillo, 313 to 274
votes.
In other races, state Sen. Howard Nolan
soundly defeated Republican candidate
Peter Crummey, 368 to 198 votes; state
Assemblyman Richard Conners out-
distanced Republican candidate Domenic
Robortella 362 to 160 votes; U.S. Con-
gressman Samuel Stratton overwhelmed
James Callahan of the Socialist Working
Party, 416 to 25 votes; and Attorney
General Robert Abrams defeated
Republican candidate Peter King, 415 to
172 votes.
SUNYA voters also supported Supreme
Court Justice candidate F. Warren
Travers, a Democrat, over Republican
John Clyne, 336 votes to 177. Democrat
Joseph Harris was supported for County
Court judge over Victor Caponera, 328
votes to 199, and in the race for coroner,
students chose Democrats John Marra and
James Cavanaugh over Republican can-
didate Samuel Ouimet.
Figures for Proposition One, the En-
vironmental Quality Bond Act, were only
available at the Gym where the bond was
favored 102 votes to 12.
Phil Botwinik, chair of SA’s Student
Action Committee, which was active in
recruiting student voters, said he was
pleased by Tuesday’s turnout.
“The national average was only 18 per-
cent,” said Botwinik. ‘‘For students to
take the time to research the candidates,
know when and where to vote, and then
get out there and actually take part in the
voting process is really something.”

Arson probed
in two Sunday
Fine Arts fires
By Colleen Deslaurier
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Two suspicious fires which caused con-
siderable damage to the Fine Arts
building late Sunday afternoon and)
which may have been deliberately set are
being currently investigated by University,
officials.
One fire began in a storage room at-
tached to room 302 of the Fine Arts
building, said Thomas Rinaldi, Fire Safe-|
ty Technician for SUNY A’s Department
of Environmental Health and Safety.
A second fire also began in sub-|
basement room 57 about the time of the
first blaze, Rinaldi said.
One Albany Fire Department official
said the department ‘‘cannot comment as,
to the origin or cause of the fire’’ because
the University, as state property, is con-
ducting its own investigation.
However, Battalion Chief Mike
Romano told the Times Union that “We
believe we have an arson fire. There’s no
doubt in my mind.”
Romano said he suspected arson
because the fires started in two separate
places on the floors of each room.
Four firefighters were injured respon-|
ding to the 5:08 PM alarm, and one re-
quired hospital care, Rinaldi said.
“Tt appears to be that someone has set,
the fire,”’ said Rinaldi. However, he add-
ed that ‘‘the fire can’t be considered oe

Ethnic rioting flares
Karachi, Pakistan
(AP) Rioters burned. buses and shops
Monday and rival ethnic gangs battled
with guns and homemade bombs,
witnesses said, as the death toll from four
days of violence in Karachi and
Hyderabad rose to at least 38.
Hospital officials, who did not want to
be identified, said 18 people were killed in
rioting and clashes with security-forces in
Karachi on Sunday. Another 18 people
were killed Friday and Saturday.
Officials said at least 300 people have
been injured in the four days of rioting
sparked by a gunbattle between the Muha-
jir and Pathan ethnic groups.
Hundreds of soldiers were sent to
Karachi today to reinforce army units
deployed during the weekend. Troops
manned machine gun positions and erected
barbed-wire barricades at key intersections
and patrols moved through the city.
Belgium recalls envoy
Brussels, Belgium
(AP) Belgium officials said Monday it was
recalling its ambassador in Damascus for
consultations, becoming the first Common
Market nation to take such action since
Britian broke relations with Syria.
Patrick van Houte, a spokesman in the
Foreign Affairs Ministry, said Am-
bassador Andre Verbiest would return to
Brussels by Thursday to consult with
government officials on a possible joint
Common Market response to British
charges of Syrian involvement in
terrorism.
Britian broke diplomatic relations with
Damascus on Oct. 24, saying it had proof

Abortion funds upheld
Washington, D.C.
(AP) States may not cut off their funding
of private groups because the groups offer,
among other things, abortions or abortion

By a 5-3 vote, the court upheld rulings
that Arizona’s funding policy violated the

PREVIEW OF EVENTS
constitutional rights of Planned Paren-
thood organizations in the state.
Although Monday’s decision was not
accompanied by any written opinions, it
sets a national precedent. Without waiting
to conduct oral arguments in the case, the
court affirmed a ruling that such state fun-
ding cut-offs interfere with constitutional-
ly protected abortion rights.
Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and
Justices Byron R. White and Antonin
Scalia voted to hear arguments in the case,
but four votes are needed to grant such
review.
Booster plan doubted
Orlando, Fl.
(AP) Several NASA engineers have ques-
tioned a plan to add 100 bolts to a crucial
joint in space shuttle booster rockets, say-
ing it carries a ‘‘potential for disaster,”’ a
newspaper reported.
Adding the bolts to the nozzle joint to
prevent hot gases from leaking would in-
troduce 100 new locations for dangerous
leaks, The Orlando Sentinel said in a
copyright story Sunday, quoting National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
documents.
The shuttle Challenger exploded Jan. 28
after O-ring gaskets sealing a field joint
between solid fuel segments leaked hot
gases, igniting the huge external fuel tank.
The nozzle joint is near the base of the
JOHN CURRY UPS
boosters, between the rocket exhaust noz-
zie and the solid fuel segments.

Nuke plant loaded
Scriba
(AP) Fuel loading began at the Nine Mile
Point 2 nuclear power plant, putting the
country’s most expensive nuclear plant on
the road to production of energy, possibly
by year’s end.
The assembly was delayed 17 hours
because of a problem with placing key
neutron-producing devices in the main
reactor vessel, according to Frank Deusel,
a spokesman for the Niagrara Mohawk
Power Corp., the principal owner of the
plant.
The devices, known as neutron sources,
were to be fitted into a grid mechanically,
by an underwater spring-load device.
However, technicians were unable to com-
press the spring enough with tools, and
frogmen were called in Saturday night to
dive into 65 feet of water in the core and
press the spring down themselves.
Neutron sources, long rods about 10-15
feet long, provide small particles of matter
known as neutrons that collide with the
uranium fuel, splitting the atoms apart and
creating heat. The water surrounding the
devices and the fuel acts as a shield to keep
radioactivity from spreading.
Verdict questioned
Smyrna
(AP) A jury in Chenango County, which
acquitted evicted farmer Harold Ingraham
of resisting arrest and deadlocked on an
accompanying trespass charge, was
swayed by their emotions, said the assis-
tant district attorney who prosecuted the
case.
“Underlying the whole thing was an ele-
ment of sentimentality,” said James
Cushman, who suggested jurors may have
felt sorry for the Ingraham family, which
was evicted from its 220-acre farm in July
after refusing to pay back taxes.
The six-member jury found Ingraham
not guilty of resisting arrest late Saturday
and deadlocked 3-to-3 as they tried to
decide whether the farmer was guilty of
trespassing after refusing for almost two
days to leave the property at the request of
deputies.
Two of Ingraham’s children had pointed
shotguns at sheriff’s deputies during the
tense standoff at the Smyrna farm.
Correction ————.
In the October 24 issue of the Albany
Student Press it was incorrectly reported
that the Interfraternity Council had en-
dorsed a candidate in the recent Student
Association elections. We regret the error.

No bones about it
(AP) Police made no bones about ar-
resting a city shopkeeper for displaying a
nattily-dressed human skeleton in his
window. Flint said the tuxedo-clad
skeleton was used by David B. Ornstein.
as a Halloween attraction at his
downtown antique store. Flint called it
“thumorous, but a violation of the (State
Public Health) law.’
‘‘Human remains are to be cremated,
or buried, or otherwise disposed of,” he
said. He said the bones were real.
However, Ornstein, 39, predicted
Thursday’s charge won’t get very far. He'
said the skeleton had been in his shop
window for three years without
complaint.

Spanish-language ’86-87 Financial Aid
Forms — 22,000 in all — are being releas-
ed this week as the first non-English ver-
sion of the New York State Student Pay-
ment Application (SPA).
“From now on, the application will
also be printed in Spanish on an annual
basis,” said Dr. Dolores E. Cross, Presi-
dent of the New York State Higher
‘Education Services Corporation
(NYSHESC). ‘‘By making it available in
Spanish, we hope to encourage more
Hispanic students, parents, and prospec-
tive students to explore the various state
financial aid opportunities and apply for
appropriate assistance.””
Directories in limbo
Student directories have been printed,
but are awaiting delivery to the Campus
Center, according to Don Bielecki, direc-
tor of the Campus Center.
Originally all scheduled to arrive by
late October, only a few desk copies are
now available at the information desk.
Irwin Weinstein, building supervisor
of the Campus Center, said, “‘We’re sur-
prised by the lateness also,” adding that
he believes that one possible cause of the
delay is an extension of deadline for off-
campus students to hand in their phone
number and address.
O’Leary hits top 100
University President Vincent O’Leary
was recently named one of the top 100
most effective U.S. college presidents by
an Exxon Educational Foundation study.
During O’Leary’s tenure, both the
Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and
the School of Public Health Services have
‘been founded, and the external funding
for research and training has increased
500 percent.
“*You’re always pleased when someone
says you’ve done a good job,”’ O’Leary
said, adding that he also credits the
school for the distinction he received..‘‘I
think it really reflects a good deal on the
institution,’’ he said.
O’Leary said, ‘If something good oc-
curs at an institution, you look to the
leadership to credit it,” explaining that
people tend to associate what’s happen-
ing with the university with the president.
The strike goes on
(CPS) As administrators and striking
faculty members at Temple U. broke off
negotiations last week, student govern-
iment Director Chris Singleton urged
students to withhold tuition payments
due this week.
He said he’d organize a class action

delivered the education it promised since
the strike began Oct. 6.

Voters say ‘yes’ to toxic clean-up
New Yorkers have given their permission to create the
largest state pool of money in the nation for the clean-up of
hazardous waste sites as the Environmental Quality Bond Act
was approved Tuesday.
Incomplete returns showed 67 percent of the vote was in favor
of the bond act, while 33 percent was against it.
While exact figures were not available for most of SUNYA’s
uptown polling places, students supported the bond by a 10-to-1
margin at the Gym.
The overwhelming student approval could be attributed to ef-
forts by the New York Public Interest Research Group. Accor-
ding to Joe Sammons, volunteer coordinator of the Get Out the
Bond Act campaign for NYPIRG, the group concentrated its ef-
forts on passing the bond.
“We got lots of students really interested in the environment,”’
said Sammons, who also serves on the state board of NYPIRG.
“They committed their time and their votes.
“This victory for the bond act shows how relatively little stu-
dent work can go a long way.’”
The spending measure permits the State to borrow $1.45
billion, with $1.2 billion going to clean up about 500 hazardous
waste sites over the next 13 years.
It also allocates $250 million dollars for the State to purchase
wilderness areas in the Adirondack and Catskill mountains,
along-with other park land and historical sites.
The remaining $100 million will be used as no-interest loans to
municipalities to assist in the closure of non-hazardous municipal
landfills.

The anti-grouper law, new dormitories,

nding to questions at the WCDB studio
years. The most recent show aired last fall.
Discussing the grouper law, O’Leary
said Albany officials may have issued sum-
monses to those students recently charged
with being in violation of the law because
they created a nuisance.
When asked why the city made the move
when students seem to be ‘“‘less rowdy’’
downtown this year, O’Leary said ‘‘that is
not the case in specific cases in which they
move against. That’s my understanding of
it.”
It is specifically in those instances where
there-is a substantial nuisance that the city
is likely to move,’’ O’Leary said. ‘“We’ye
been trying to get that clarified. 1 have
some reason to think that is the case.’”*
But O’Leary later said that he was not
sure if that was the case with the students
recently issued summonses.
WCDB News Editor Julie McNamara
asked O’Leary about what she called the
University’s apparent ‘‘hands-off’’ at-
titude toward the issue.
“The University can’t do much about
the law,”” O’Leary said, adding that one
reason for the new Fuller Road dorms,
scheduled to open in 1987, is ‘‘to ease this
whole grouper [law] thing.”
SUNY’s graduate-initiative proposal,
which would bring $13 million to SUNYA
during the next five years, for graduate
program funding will benefit
undergraduates as well as graduates,
O’Leary said, because additional graduate
faculty would also teach undergraduates.
O’Leary said the student/faculty ratio
would be reduced from 18-1 to 16-1 under
the proposal.

Student arrested for attack on frat
By Lisa Rizzolo
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
A Colonial Quad resident was arrested
and charged with second degree assault
after allegedly taking part in an attack
against Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE)
members early Thursday morning.
Stephen M. Oliver, 17, was released on
$3,500 bail at Albany Police Court pen-
ding a later hearing.
According to Assistant Director of
Public Safety John Henighan, three of the
fraternity members taking part in pledging
activities by the soccer field were injured.
“There were various injuries including a
broken nose, a badly injured jaw, and
facial lacerations,’’ he said.
“The assaulters may have used
something other than their hands. There
were no bats, clubs, or knives, however,’’
said Henighan.
Oliver, who resides in Hamilton Hall,
was also charged with possession of false
identification. Investigations are currently
underway to find others involved in the
assault, Henighan said.
The incident began when ‘‘words were
passed between Oliver and some members
of TKE,” said Henighan. Oliver then left
the scene and returned with some friends,
and ‘‘some TKE guys got beat up,’’
Henighan said.
One TKE member left the scene to call
Public Safety, who responded to the call.
According to Henighan, ‘‘five or six
TKE fraternity members and ten to 12 peo-
ple of the second faction were involved in
the incident.
There is no indication that the alleged
assaultors were specifically after the TKE
fraternity, said Henighan.
TKE President Kevin Allen refused to
comment on the incident. ‘‘Some guys
from National [TKE Chapter] called me
and told me not to speak [about it],’’ he
said.
Speculating on why the assault occur-
red, Henighan said that ‘‘There may have
been drinking by at least one individual. It
[the assault] was certainly not a planned
activity.”
According to Director of Campus Life
Jim Doellefeld, ‘‘There are inherent risks -
with any group being in an isolated area at
night. There is nothing [legally] wrong
with it. I haven’t heard any reports that
TKE was violating anti-hazing regula-
tions.””

Local voters keep Democrats in office
reported, Assemblyman Richard
Conners looked to be on his way
to securing the largest victory in
the 1986 local elections, receiving
72 percent of the vote.
Republican opponent Domenic
Robortella received 28 percent of
the vote.
Conners said he will continue
to support student aid and added
that the amount of New York
state financial aid has tripled dur-
ing his time in office. Referring to
the state constitution’s guarantee
of a free education, Conners said,
“Education in this country is one
thing that has a bulge on other
countries.”’
Conners said he is also concern-
ed about drug-related issues and
approves of recently passed drug
legislation, but added that the
laws “have to be enforced.”’ Con-
ners said he is also interested in
providing long-term care for the
elderly.
Robotella was unavailable for
comment.
In a close race for state
Supreme Court justice, 52 percent
percent of the 83 percent of votes
reported went to Democratic in-
cumbent F. Warren Travers, with
opponent John Clyne winning 48
percent of the vote.
Clyne is a Democrat who ran
on the Republican line after fail-
ing to receive his party’s
nomination.
When asked if he ran an old-
fashioned campaign, ‘Travers
replied, ‘‘You betcha!’’ He
described the campaign as ‘‘just a
tremendous effort it’s the
American way,” and said he
received “‘a lot of hard work from
a lot of supporters.””
In conceding the race, Clyne
said, ‘1 wish [Travers] well. At
least the class of 1953 from
Albany Law School has their first
JSC [Justice of the Supreme
Court].”” oO
Student turnout
<Front Page
Botwinik said a direct correla-
tion existed between where polls
were located and voter turnout.
Figures at the Thruway House are
consistently lower than State
Quad because the Thruway
House is “inherently more dif-
ficult for students to get to,”’ he
said.
State Quad residents are the
only on-campus students who ac-
tually vote on their quad. Other
on-campus residents have to leave
their quads to vote.
If Duarte’s estimation of 1,700
student voters is correct, totals
will be three times as much as last
year’s student figures.
Things didn’t proceed so
smoothly at Alumni Quad,
however, where residents had to
go to one of three downtown poll-
ing places. Several students who
thought they were registered
found out differently Tuesday.
“I was registered with a person
from NYPIRG and apparently
someone never handed my card
in,”’ said Renee Fass, a junior on
Alumni Quad. ‘‘They always let
on that students should become
active politically.””
“For something this important
they should get their files and
their organization straightened
out first.’”
According to Margaret Hart,
chair of election inspectors for the
polling place at 646 State St., ap-
proximately 15 people came and
could not vote because of pro-
cessing errors. o

The University is currently con-
ducting a “‘three-prong investiga-
tion” headed by Rinaldi in con-
junction with the Department of
Public Safety and the Albany Fire
Department, said Rinaldi.
Heavy damage was done to the
third-floor classroom and much
of the third floor, said Rinaldi,
adding that there was also smoke
and water damage on the first and
second floors.
Some University records were
destroyed in the sub-basement
room, which also suffered minor
smoke and water damage, Rinaldi
said.
Two graduate students were
almost trapped in the building
during the fire, Rinaldi said.
“They literally had to crawl out
of the building,” he said, adding
that although the students were
‘shaken and scared,’’ they suf-
fered no injuries.
Albany Fire Department
Batallion 2 responded to the call.
In addition, three engine com-
panies, two ladder companies,
and one squad company arrived
on the scene, said Rinaldi.
A complete evaluation of
damages hasn’t been conducted
yet. ‘Until it’s all said and done,
we won’t be able to tell how much
it’s going to cost to refurbish the
building,”’ Rinaldi said.
“Many people don’t realize
how serious [the fire] is consider-
ing how very little combustible
material was in the storage room,
said Rinaldi. ‘It’s a very serious
matter.”
Rinaldi said that the depart-
ment will ‘‘keep investigation
flowing.’

all night trying to repair the

percent margin. It was the largest
margin by a Republican
senatorial candidate in the
modern history of the state.
“Let me serve notice that we’ve
only just begun,” D’amato told
cheering supporters as he declared
victory at 10 p.m., an hour after
the polls closed.
D’Amato said his victory mark-
ed ‘‘a new coalition of the middle

Two Albany charities adopted by Telethon ’87
By Colleen Cross
Organizers of Telethon ’87 have decided
upon the Mont Pleasant Boys Club and the
Drakeland Daycare Center as their reci-
pient charities for the coming year.
Each year, Telethon raises money for
local children’s charities through a year-
long series of fundraising events,
culminating in a 24-hour student-run
telethon in the spring.
Telethon °87 co-chairs Maraya Gallo
and Sandra Lehrman said that 66 percent
of funds raised will go to the boys club,
with remaining 34 percent going to the
daycare center.
Last year, Telethon ’86 donated $16,000
to the Child Cancer Care and Spina Bifida
programs at Albany Medical Center and
the Parsons Child and Family Center.
“This year we are hoping to donate over
$20,000,” said Lehrman.
The Mont Pleasant Boys Club runs
afterschool and evening programs for boys
and girls living in the Arbor Hill area.
“Our major need was to remodel the
bathroom and the kitchen. Any money left
over may go towards equipment,”’ said
Director Bruce Levy.
The kitchen is used to teach cooking
classes, and because of its condition, the
club cannot accept any food donations, ac-
cording to Gallo.
“Bathrooms and [the] kitchen have been
on tap for remodeling since 1973,”’ said
Levy, adding that ‘‘[They] definitely need
[remodeling] by now.”
The boys club is mostly a recreational
facility providing a ‘home away from
home”? for children who deal with child
abuse and drug abuse in their families, said

Levy.
Levy is also a 1984 SUNYA graduate
who was a student Telethon staffer for
three years.
Drakeland Daycare officials say they
plan to use their donation for construction
of a state mandated playground at the
center’s new Second Street location.
Serving 45 children, the center is cur-
rently located in the Metropolitan Baptist
Church and will be moving into a larger
facility capable of serving up to 75 children
upon its completion.
“The money could not have come at a
better time. Children need this service,”
said Executive Director Janice Parker.
“Daycare is overlooked,’’ said Parker,
because ‘‘federal and state governments do
not provide enough support. We need
agencies like [Telethon] to help.””
The theme for Telethon ’87 is “Growing
Up, Growing Strong, Growing Together,”
which Lehrman said “describes both the
charities and our staff.”
Selection of the recipients is a ‘‘very
hard and lengthy process,’”’ said Gallo.
Telethon staff members visit each can-
didate organization in order to get an over-
view of its services and its basis for need.
When tours are completed, Telethon
staff members meetsto decide upon the
recipients. ‘‘We tak€ into consideration
the organization’s budget and our own
personal feelings,’’ said Gallo.
According to Levy, the boys club had
been denied as a recipient last year. ““We
totally appreciate [Telethon’s donation],”’
he added.
Other events planned by Telethon ’87
are a dance marathon scheduled for Nov. 7
and 8, and Rock-and-Roll Warfare Dec.

This weekend’s Dance Marathon, co-

Air Band Contest will kick off the dance
on Friday night. “The air band contest is a

Gallo.

said Caporal

The dance marathon will feature
musical sets from different eras and prizes
will be awarded throughout the 24-hour
period. “Rock Around the Clock”? will be
played at the passing of each hour.
“In the early years of Telethon the
dance marathon was one of the biggest
money raisers,”’ said Gallo. ‘Entering
would be 150 to 200 couples. As recently as
four years ago, over 100 couples par-
ticipated, but last year only 20 couples par-
ticipated. This year’s goal is to have at
least 50 couples entered,” she said.
Several fraternities and sororities are
helping out this 'year by sending couples.
Sponsor sheets are available at the Campus
Center information desk or in the quad of-
fices, said Gallo.
Students wishing to get involved with
Telethon ’87 can attend a general interest’
meeting to be scheduled for November or
get in touch with either Gallo or Lehrman
through Student Association. a)
About 5,000 balloons were set aloft
behind the campus center Saturday as
part of a nationwide simultaneous
balloon launch to support the Arthritis
Foundation.
Organized by Fau Epsilon Phi frater-

Aaron Fritzhand, the event raised $250
for the foundation, according to TEP
President Andrew Leibhafer.
Similar balloon launches were held
simultaneously at various

money for the Arthritis Foundation.
SUNYA was chosen as a launch site

high schools whose Key Clubs helped
organize the event, said Fritzhand.
Though organizers “expected a few
more people from the University to be
there,” Leibhafer said that “‘the school
was very co-operative’”’ in helping with
the posters and banners.
About 100 people were present at the 3
p.m, launch, said Fritzhand.
Originally an SA-sponsored event,
“about a month ago,”’ Leibhafer said,
“SA decided not to go ahead with [the
event] and we decided to take it on
ourselves.’”

Podium ‘witch burning’ recalls women’s struggle
By James O’Sullivan
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
A Halloween day ‘‘witch burning” by
members of SUNYA’s Feminist Alliance
drew a crowd of over 80 students, but also
drew angry shouts of “‘Start the fire’ and
sexual slurs from some who watched at the
Campus Center fountain.
About six women started chanting
“Burn the witch, burn the witch’’ outside
the Campus Center shortly after noon Fri-
day while banging sticks on the ground.
Then, pulling a woman along with them,
they set the wood in a circle and put the
‘‘witch’’ in the center of the “fire.” After
silently displaying various placards with
slogans on them for about ten minutes, the
women dispersed.
According to Feminist Alliance co-chair
Leslie Williams, the ‘‘street theatre”
demonstration was planned at the weekly
Alliance meeting Thursday night. ‘‘Hallo-
ween naturally brings up images of witches
and we started a discussion of witches and
witch trials,’’ she said.
The women at the event were surround-
ed by a silent crowd, but several hecklers
cursed at the demonstrators calling them
“sluts,’’ ‘‘bitches,”” and ‘‘lesbians,””
among other slurs.
“Tt was a lot of anger. From where we
stood you could really feel it,’ said
Williams. ‘It reminds me of how much
there is to be done. We were not doing a
radical thing, it was an educational
event.’”
Historically it is known that hundreds,
possibly thousands, of women were killed
for witchcraft in late Medieval Europe
from about 1300 to 1700. ‘‘Those centuries
were a time of switching over from tradi-
tional healing to the patriarchal or Church
healing,”’ said Williams, explaining that
women were seen at the time as a threat to
the new “‘scientific’’ medicine.
Women served as healers and midwives
for communities for centuries before,
noted co-chair Betty-Ann Sanders. She ad-
ded that what little data from the period is
available indicates that most accused

+ Waxing
women were financially independent,
divorced or widowed, and therefore on the
fringes of the traditional male society.
‘‘Any woman who stepped out of line
had this threat hanging over her head,”’
said Williams. Added Sanders, ‘‘It was a
systematic extermination of women who
they could not quote control unquote.”’
Speaking of the hecklers at the event,
Williams said, “‘I felt that I had crossed
some line, [but] I didn’t know what line is
some behaviorial taboo.”’“‘The modern
equivalent of calling someone a witch is to
call them a lesbian because it’s intended to
discredit, to discriminate, and to keep
women in line,”’ said Sanders.
Williams said she believes most people
missed the point of the event. ‘‘People
didn’t get it. You have to make the connec-
tion for them...Our hope was that people
would see that and let the image sink in.””
“There is no real time for discussion,
for focusing attention on this holocaust, so
we thought Halloween was an appropriate
time to do this,” added Williams. ia

Frankenstein falters at Proctor’s
he American Shakespeare Reper-
2 tory brought Victor Frankenstein’
theories to trial last Thursday at
Proctor’s Theatre for an appropriate Hallo-
ween eve performance of Frankenstein.
Dennis Sheridan
Victor Frankenstein had a theory. Every
being, he thought, seeks to balance its pro-
portions of life force and substance. The
power that sparks life in bodily elements is
the same for all creatures. He believed the
spark of life could be isolated, artificially
manufactured and introduced into a body.
And the balance sought by the newly
created being would be superior to the
average human. Evil would cease to exist
through the manipulation of life.
Directing the performance as well as
playing two small parts was the ASR’s co-
founder Janet Farrow. Co-founder Douglas
Overtoom played the lead as Dr. Victor
Frankenstein.
The action of Frankenstein takes place in
two cities, Geneva and Ingolstadt. Geneva
is the location of the house of Frankens-
tein, where Victor's father, Baron
Frankenstein (Paul Rubin), and fiance,
Elizabeth Beaufort (Carol Dearman) reside.
Henry Clerval (John Viscardi), the family
physician, makes frequent appearances.
Far away in Ingolstadt is the residence of
the young Doctor Frankenstein, who,
because of an obsession with his theories,
left the university he was attending to pur-
sue his experiments in his home laboratory.
Living with him is an Amsterdam libertine,
Liza (anet Farrow), who groans perpetual-
ly of Victor's lack of attention to her
desires. Her street friend and later Victor's
fran seevant, is a very. likable, very
harmless mute (John Stang).
‘As Victor's visions approach fulfillment)
he finds need for a variety of fresh organs
with which to equip his creation. The task
is alotted to a local street thief (Gregory
Formley), who provides comic relief in the
first act by showing up with a mail sack fill-
ed with bloody, stringy organs. Victor is
later seen stepping on them and leaving
them inadvertently about the stage. Most
of these organs are obviously useless to the
Dr.’s work, but certainly serve to momen-

tarily relax the audience with their
humorous presence.
The evil of the drama begins to surface
when the thief kills Liza for her heart, and
the’ flaw in the doctor's character appears
plainly after the monster comes to life.
There are a variety of shortcomings in
the play, perhaps the most serious being
the script. Much of the dialogue is tiresome
and unnecessarry. The plot seems secon-
dary to something more abstract happen-
ing on stage.
The ASR proclaims itself as offering
“alternative interpretations of standard
text,” and draws from a_ philosophic
premise to explore diverse possibilites in a
work and its characters. It seems, however,
centers around Flerent Boissoneault, a
would-be restauranteur, and his wife Elise,
and upon their life's dream: opening their
own restaurant. Their struggles to succeed
against what seem insurmountable dif-
ficulties weave a common thread
throughout the book; one which must
surely strike a chord of understanding and
familiar sympathy in the heart of each
reader.
Douglas Overtoom as Victor Frankenstein in Frankenstein at Proctor's.
that in an attempt to fulfill this approach,
writer Anthony Urgo slips in every weary
interpretation of the novel and captures
none of its dilemnas in the process.
The theme of Victor as “The Modern
Prometheus” is severely diluted and ap-
pears only briefly in a few convoluted
soliloquies. The script seems to contain
such a sparcity of pertinence that the play
seldom picks up-any sort.of rhythm.
Overtoom is excellent, however, as the
distracted Dr. Frankenstein. His voice is
steady and clear, and his actions on stage
are clean and professional. His perfor-
mance captures the obsessiveness and
sincerity of a man completely overcome
with a passion to create life out of the
es
With the aid of his wife, a famous french
chef, an incredibly wealthy aunt living in
Key West; an unofficially adopted child
alchoholic, Monsieur Emile, and the boy's
alley cat Breakfast, Florent wages an epic
war against the forces formed against him,
The Alley Cat is more than a tale of a
man who has been cheated in business and
his attempts to regain what he rightfully
owns. On a deeper level, it is the story of a
...On a deeper level, it is the story of a man’s
striving to fulfill a dream against overwhelming odds;
of good fighting against a tangled web of bureaucracy
and corruption...
Florent, as the story begins, is able to
open his long-dreamed of restaurant, but
only through the financial assistance of an
aged, wealthy patron, Egon Ratablavasky.
It soon becomes apparent that this “God-
send” is from quite a few feet below
heaven, as he attempts to take ownership
of the thriving establishment in order to
steal the fruits of Florent’s labor for his
own profit.
‘After being cheated out of his business,
Florent’s fight has only begun; as he must
take on a retinue of modern evils in the

dishonest businessmen, and deceitful jour-
nalists, led by the demonic Ratablavasky.
man’s striving to fulfill a dream against
overwhelming odds; of good fighting
against a tangled web of bureaucracy and
corruption; of hope in the face of seeming:
ly inevitable defeat.
Beauchemin’s humor is not that of
Twain, but that of the darkly intertwined
humor and horror of Dickens. His prose is
elegant and descriptive, with a subtle
foreign feel which the translation into
English (the book was originally written in
French) brilliantly captures. The Alley Cat
is a novel of hope against despair in which
we may each, in some small way,
recognize a part of our own lives and
ourselves. Q
lifeless and simultaneously keeps a noble,
almost classical air of the character's noble
upbringing. His movements about the
laboratory, hands stained pink from his
bloody business, disallow most distractions
between himself and his audience.
Excellent, too, is John Stang as the mute
who happily mimes his way through the
play, showing only true human emotions
among a cast of characters who are all
obsessed with one thing or another.
The drama takes place on a unit set
which allows for quick, smooth changes of
locations between the 2 houses and a few
outdoor scenes. The scenery, however, is
at best unremarkable. The back drop, a col-
lage of dark bare trees painted unconvinc-
ingly on a transparent fabric, leaves a little
much for the imagination
together.
The props are functional, but an avant-
garde Benjamin Moore clearly appears to
have been responsible for the paint job,
and the contrast from props to backdrops is
unpleasant.
The “eerie” organ music was only mildly
effective. Organ crescendos rarely match-
ed a climax in dialogue and quite often the
taped music ended before the scene closed.
to piece
Kathe Berl, makeup and costume consul-
tant, deserves recognition for an above
average job on costume design.
ASR’s Frankenstein does present diversi-
ty of ideas, and Anthony Urgo’s mastery
of the subject is evident. However, the
translation of his thoughts to the stage does
not entertain as much as it seems to work
itself out as it goes along. The monster's
coming to life scene is anticlimatic — I sup-
pose the audience envisions the classic,
overtall, greenish, thin monster (with elec-
trodes) coming to life in a flash of electrici-
ty. Instead a bloke in chains who looks like
Peter Frampton suddenly starts coming
forth.
The climatic final scene, where alter
egos Victor and the monster (now looking
like the Incredible Hulk in mid-
transformation) meet face to face, is amon-
tage of dead bodies, primal screams, noisy
special effects and stifled laughter from the
audience.
The substance is there, somewhere.
Where is the spark of life? ia

Acid Dreams: the CIA, LSD and the Six-
ties Rebellion recounts in unprecedented
fashion the little-told story of the U.S. in-
telligerice community's longstanding and
intimate relationship with the powerful
hallucinogen.
To tell the story authors Martin A. tee
and Bruce Shlain obtained some 20,000
pages of once-classified government
documents, and conducted interviews with
many leading figures of the sixties
counterculture.
Of course, when one thinks of LSD one
thinks of Haight-Ashbury, the Summer
of Love, the Grateful Dead and Timothy
Leary — the Pied Piper of the flower
children — who- touted acid as a
benevolent mind expander, a chemical for
inducing religious experiences.
But there were others who had very dif-
ferent ideas about what to do with LSD.
“Fifteen years before the hippies started
dropping acid,” Lee notes, “the CIA and
the Army were utilizing the same drug not
to expand the mind but to control it. This is
the central irony of LSD — that it's been
used both as a weapon and a sacrament.”
expanded version of the Rick Springfield
video, Bop Til You Drop.
The story Consists of the Captain arriv-
ing on a planet strewn with the burnt out
carcasses of countless spacecraft. Eo and his
crew of assorted Muppet-like creatures are
soon confronted with the evil forces of the
planet’s Supreme Leader (Oscar Winner
Anjelica Huston). Using his powers of
music and dance, Eo transforms the wicked
leader into a beautiful woman and the
bleak planet into a colorful utopia.
Per minute, Captain Eo is the most ex-
pensive film ever made. Were Fo an hour
and a half long, its cost would be an
astronomical 150 million. But this is not a
money-making venture. Eo cannot be
shown in ordinary theaters. In addition to
the state of the art 70 millimeter film stock
and the 3-D, lasers shoot about the
theater and steam billows out from under
the screen.
Beginning in the forties under the
auspices of programs with such Bond-like
appelations as “MK-ULTRA” and “Opera-
tion ARTICHOKE,” the CIA sought to
develop a “speech-inducing drug for use in
interrogations.” After working their way
through cocaine, peyote, heroin, uppers
and downers, the spymasters even tried a
marijuana extract called “TD” before
dismissing it as too unpredictible for the es-
pionage trade.
SS ECS Sa PT
There is no acting in Captain Eo.
Michael Jackson speaks in his usual Mickey
Mouse — on helium voice. But Jackson’s
not known for speaking. In the singing and
dancing categories, Jackson is without com-
petition. Huston brings a real nastiness to
the Supreme Leader, coming off much like
Margaret Hamilton's wicked witch in The
Wizard of Oz. Huston’s problem isn’t ac-
ting, rather it’s her looks. At the conclu-
sion, she’s supposed to represent all that is
beautiful, but Elizabeth Taylor she’s not.
Fo features awesome special effects.
Technically it’s perfect. One sequence, in
which several of the creatures become
musical instruments, simply boggles the
mind, The 3-D works well without
straining the eyes, When Huston reaches
into the audience with her sharp talons,
people actually scream. For amusement a
little orange-haired space monkey with.
butterfly wings named Fuzzball floats on
and off the screen.
Those who get a chance to visit
Disneyland or Epcot Center should
definitely catch Captain Fo. But wait a year
or two before heading out to either
Anaheim or Orlando. Lines for this terrific
little film have been so long that the wait
can be three hours. It’s well worth the wait.

proselytizers of LSD’s transcendent

parishoners in a letter.

on with Timothy Leary, and hint the presi-

And now, as the president and Congress
call for a holy war against substance abuse,
the book also reminds us that such pious
declarations almost always have hidden
political undercurrents.
“The Nicaraguan contras are heavily in-
volved in cocaine trafficking, and the U.S.
— backed Afghan rebels are major players
in. the poppy trade,” Lee charges. “If
Reagan is really serious about dealing wih
the drug problem, he should stop suppor-
ting those groups who are bringing the
drugs into the country.”
Just as the CIA seems to have a persis-
tent hand in Central America, Acid
Dreams suggests it had a hand in the black
marketeering of LSD in the late sixties and
early seventies.
The authors focus on Ronald Stark, a
paunchy man with a huge walrus
moustache, both a CIA informant ‘and
master con artist. He spoke ten languages,
and was as difficult to pin down as the drug
he peddled.
Ina four-year sojourn through the
acid underground, Stark produced nearly
50 million hits of illicit LSD before col-
liding with the law in Italy in 1975. He was
arrested, and charged with drug trafficking
and armed banditry. But just as suddenly,
he was released. Judge Giorgio Floridia ex-
plained. that “Stark belonged to Hs

Guest writer
During WCDB’s live call-in show Monday
night with University President Vincent O’Leary,
a question was raised about the Albany Student
Press.
We would like to thank President O’Leary for
his kind words about our newspaper. We’re glad
he thinks the paper looks more professional now
than it ever did before.
. We also appreciate his interest, expressed half-
jokingly during the show, in writing some of this
paper’s editorials, as the ASP’s editorial stance
frequently differs with O’Leary’s beliefs.
Unfortunately, setting editorial policy is a duty
reserved for the Editor in Chief, who writes the
editorials with some assistance from members of
the ASP editorial board.
Since O’ Leary is neither the Editor in Chief or a
member of the editorial board, we won’t be able
to fulfill his wish.
But President O’Leary is still more than
welcome to write for the paper. Just to the right
of this editorial is the space for columns. On the
opposite page is the space for letters.
Both sections are open to anyone — including
President O’Leary. Just write a column, about
800 to 1,000 words, or a letter and drop it off at
the ASP office (CC 329) with your name and
phone number on it for verification purposes.
We're looking forward to hearing from you.
Modern witch
To be called a witch in medieval Europe was a
fate that sometimes resulted in death. The luckier
ones got to live, but were shunned and ostracized
the rest of their lives.
The women who were accused of being witches
weren’t practicing black magic; they were simply
women on the fringes of a male-dominated
society. Although the name people use today to
describe this type of woman has changed, it
appears some people’s attitudes haven’t.
Several students made that quite clear Friday
afternoon, choosing to demonstrate their lack of
decency and intelligence by rudely interrupting a
group of women from Feminist Alliance who
were performing a mock witch-burning ritual.
They called the women sluts, bitches and
lesbians, among other things, ironically
demonstrating a modern-day version of
“‘witchburning.’’ They used those labels because
the six or so demonstrators were perceived as
“different”? — outcasts because they dare to
question male domination. :
During medieval times, some women were
called witches if they were financially independent
or divorced or widowed, which would render
them strange and unacceptable to the traditional
male society.
Today’s labelled lesbians and feminists also
pose a threat to the same traditional male-
dominated society. The women who were verbally
harassed Friday were calling attention to
historical oppression of their gender. While these
women aren’t threatened with death at a burning
stake, they still face the shunning and the
ostracization without due cause.
Being called a lesbian, as Friday’s:
demonstrators were, shouldn’t even have the
same negative connotations that being a witch
once had. A witch is supposed to be an evil
woman who practices the devil’s work. A lesbian
is woman who has a sexual preference for other
females, for political or other reasons. The two
should hardly relate to each other.
But what’s at issue isn’t the names the hecklers
found so easy to use — it’s the intolerant attitude
behind the name calling. People should have the
right to say what they want in the manner they
find appropriate, without fear of reprisal.
To permit anything less than that clearly
demonstrates an attitude that’s way behind the
times.

What next for Mark Green?
In the world of politics, being the most qualified can-
didate does not always insure success. The old axiom,
‘*Nice guys finish last,”’ couldn’t be more true when ap-
plied to political campaigns. Such is the case in this year’s
election for US Senate between Repulbican incumbent
Alfonse D’Amato and Democrat Mark Green.
Michael Reisman
As I write this, the election has not taken place, but it is
painfully evident that Mark Green will lose the election,
despite running one of the most courageous political cam-
paigns to be seen in recent years. Although grossly
underfunded in the primary and in the general election,
Mark Green has been able to give the vested interests of
Alphonse D’Amato a run for their.money. Most of us
probably don’t realize why it was so important that Mark
win the election.
For the past 15 years, Mark Green has been a leading
progressive spokesman for both fresh ideas and
Democratic ideals. As head of Ralph Nader’s Congress
Watch, Mark led efforts to clean up toxic waste,
deregulate and reduce airline fares, enforce occupational
safety laws, and provide more than $500 million in loans
to small businesses. It was Mark’s lawsuit (Green v US
Department of Commerce) that forced the public
disclosure in 1980 of 1400 American companies that were
cooperating with the Arab states’ boycott of Israel. Mark
has written a dozen books on business and government,
including the best-selling book Who Runs Congress?.
which established him as a national authority on how
Congress works.
Today, Mark runs the Democracy Project in New
York, a leading Democratic policy group. In 1984 he serv-
ed as chief speechwriter in Senator Gary Hart’s presiden-
tial campaign. And last year Governor Mario Cuomo ap-
pointed Mark to his Indsutrial Cooperation Council.
Mario Cuomo said that Mark Green is be ‘‘one of the best
articulators of issues you’ve ever seen in a Senate race.”
Anyone who saw either of the Green-D’Amato debates
could attest to the truth of this statement. D’Amato was
clearly on the defensive as Green raised issues to which he
could not respond.
According to The Nation magazine, ‘Next to Ralph
Nader himself, Mark Green is probably the most in-
dustrious and successful public interest lawyer of his
generation.” Ralph Nader himself says Mark Green has
already accomplished more than most US senators.
The foundation of Mark Green’s campaign was his
refusal to accept campaign contributions from political
action committees, or PACs. Mark Green was the first
statewide candidate to refuse al! special interest political
action committee money, because he wanted to show that
the State and Senate aré not for sale. Since the big in-
terests had no claim on Mark Green, if he won, we would
have won. A good deal of money was raised for his cam-
paign by special events with celebrities like Warren Beat-
ty, Paul Newman, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
Contrary to popular belief, Alphonse D’Amato does
not represent the interests of New York. From 1981 to
1985, D’Amato received $500,000 in campaign contribu-
tions from Wall Street investment firms, while acting as
chairman of the Senate Banking subcommittee on
securities. The Wall Street Journal has called him “Wall
Street’s favorite senator.”
Among D’Amato’s biggest contributors (to the tune of
$75,000) are New York landlords and real estate interests.
One of his first steps on taking up his Senate duties was to
Propose a measure that prohibited federal housing
assistance to communities with rent control.
In 1984 D’ Amato told Public Citizen’s Congress Watch
that he supported a bill introduced by Senator Robert
Kasten that would limit the liability of manufacturers of
defective products.
D’Amato has also received substantial contributions
from the gun lobby ($36,000) and defense contractors
($115,650), subsequently voting to weaken gun control
and to strengthen the military buildup while allowing
fraud to continue in Pentagon contracts.
In contrast to his image as a crime-fighter, in 1983,
Alphonse D’ Amato was the sole character witness of one
Philip Basile, a Long Island nightclub and disco owner
who was later convicted of fraud.After serving as a Long
Island official, D’Amato testified that he didn’t know
that the Republican organization required employees to
Kick back 1 percent of their salaries. While speaking in
favor of an improved judiciary, D’Amato voted to con-
firm Daniel Manion, a poorly qualified judicial appointee
in Indiana.
The issues in this year’s election were clear. D’Amato’s
voting record may seem muddled, but from the perspec-
tive of his narrow self-interest, D’Amato’s strange voting
habits make plenty of sense. His “interests” are not those
of the people of New York; they are the interests of his
campaign contributors.
The voters of New York had a chance yesterday to pass
judgment on Al D’Amato’s first term in the Senate. It
clearly has not been in the best interests of the Majority of
New Yorkers for D’Amato to seek funding for Westway,
the MX missile, chemical weapons, and the contras. It
was not in the best interest of New Yorkers that he voted
to recriminalize abortion, cut Social Security, put more
guns on the streets, cut funds to clean up toxic dumps, cut
funds for mass transit, and promote the Gramm-Rudman
budget strategy, which took $4.6 billion out of New York
State. Al D’Amato has pretended to be the man from
Main Street. Instead, he has been the senator from Wall
Street. We should continue to ask ourselves, “Has Al
D’Amato ‘delivered’ and for whom has he ‘delivered’?””
If you haven’t heard of Mark Green until now, it is
probably because of the lack of media attention he has
received. Without a sizable campaign chest (due to his
refusal to accept PAC money), he has been relegated to
the sidelines in this year’s election. However, his victory
in the primary over John Dyson, despite overwhelming
odds (Dyson had millions of dollars and the support of
almost every major Democrat in the state) proves
something: Despite the primacy of money and image in
politics today, it is possible for an unkown, yet pro-
gressive candidate to run a successful campaign.
The fact that Alphonse D’Amato has been forced to
hide behind a facade of flashy television commercials and
watered-down press statements and has been unable to
answer Mark Green’s charges of dishonesty and corrup-
tion, shows that there is hope for the american electoral
system, at least in New York. Old-style politicians like Al
- D’Amato are a dying breed. Mark Green’s campaign has
taised the consciousness of many people in New York. No
longer will special interests dominate politics as they have
in the past. D’Amato may have won the battle, but he cer-
tainly won’t win the war. Watch out for Mark Green in
the future. He’ll be back. The next six years will not be
as easy as the first six were, Al. Oo
We are the world
To the Editor:
It is obvious to me that the author of the article entitled
“‘World Series Needs Warmth’’ only watched the first
two games. Complain! Complain! Complain! You must
remember not every game, World Series or not, can be a
classic. How can you even talk of a boring series after the
awesome comebacks of the Mets in the Playoffs, not to
mention Game 6 of the series. I’m embarrassed to have
read such an article.
Also, the author of the little snip of verbage to the left
entitled “Back to Earth”’ obviously doesn’t believe in en-
thusiasm, excitement, or cutting classes for a cause.
Pseudo-fans or not, everyone likes the fun. Stop
preaching and start cheering! The Mets are clutch — you
can say more but you can’t say less. To those who ap-
preciate the Mets and the game- What a win!

Risky business
To the Editor:
I have been out of college for roughly four months now
and I often find myself recalling those days of academia.
It is because I have friends in this city and friends in this
university that I write. My letter shall be a post-script for
me but a pre-script for those of you who may benefit
from it. It goes something like this:
I graduated with a major in Business (marketing con-
centration) and a minor in Economics. I had not enough
interest in both of these areas combined, to fill a very
small thimble. Why on earth would anyone major in
business at Albany? Firstly I shall discuss the many
positives. One positive is the relative ease of program; the
way in which the advisor of the program, John Levato,
guides you through the program in a maternal manner.
Another positive is the supposed benefits of this major

when it comes time to job hunt in the future. A third
positive is that all the exams are multiple choice so it is
relatively easy to cheat if one is so inclined. The exams are
frequently stolen, so cheating can be done beforehand.
All emphasis on the process of learning for the sake of the
individual has been eliminated; in this sense ‘‘fast-food”’
education can emerge. We all presently reap the benefits
of a well constructed Whopper, do we not?
I now turn to the negatives. I can say straight out that
accountants and finance majors have no choice but to do
this major and forget about this letter if you can. But for
the rest of us there lies no, I repeat no course which can be
savored. In fact the only course I truly savored in four
years was the symphony course given by Mr. Randall
Ellis. Bravo. I hold the Sociology course given by Dr.
Higgins a close second, but at the time lost faith, it having
been a REQUIREMENT of the business major, like so
many others.
I shudder to think of the multitudes of students wha
would avoid the business building and all its contents if
they got a good taste of what-future awaits them as
business majors.Then there are the teachers who are
speakers not ‘‘teach’’-ers; they are paid to speak. They do
that, in between their outside real, high-paying, time-
consuming careers. The business profession needs to keep
its hand off education, or forget the profession and start
to educate. One or the other.
I can say in all honesty that if I had it all over to do
again, I would do nothing the same. I would take courses
in areas in which I was interested, do internships and
take my REQUIREMENTS in classes that interested me.
There is no market for a business major. There is a
market for people not majors. It seems now that
undergraduate work is to graduate work as high school
was to undergraduate work not more than a few years
ago. That is the key to education. This is a warm-up. A
bull-pen. Anything can be taken now, and anything can
be taken later, there are infinite possibilities.
Don’t screw around in Accounting 211 (Lecture
Stadium 7, no doubt) when it a) will never be necessary
again, b) is a pain in the butt, c) is only being taken in the
first place because it is a requirement.
Stop. Think. Do you want to be 110-20-1387 or
Jonathan L. Seagull for the next-four years? It is the
Motor Vehicle Bureau augmented 1,000 times in terms of
idiocy, and an outlandish display of misdirected
authority.
All those things about the business school are true and
cannot be denied. Actually they ‘can and have been
denied. But as that crazed pop star once said, ‘‘Would I
lie to you?”
— Steven Klurfeld
Reason for protest
To The Editor:
I was recently invited to be a guest speaker on campus
by the Campus Crusade for Christ group. At the meeting
on October 9 there were about 50 Jewish students who
came to protest my presence there. The rabbis who
organized this protest wanted to give the impression that
all Jews are angry about the message of Jews for Jesus.
This is far from the truth. The real reason why the rabbis
organized such a protest is because there are so many
Jews who are coming to believe in Jesus today. If the
gospel were not having an impact on the lives of Jewish
people today, then the rabbis and the Jewish groups like
the one on your campus were just picking on us. But their
presence there in protest is making a statement to the
contrary.
The Campus Crusade for Christ group on campus is
not just interested in reaching Jewish people. But follow-
ing the teaching of Jesus they are interested in reaching all
people, Jewish people are part of that universal commit-
ment they have to the gospel.
As a Jew who has come to believe in Jesus, I am con-
vinced that if there were more Christians in the world like
the Campus Crusade for Christ people on campus, who
love God and love the Jewish people, there would be
more Jews like me, who believe in Jesus.
— Baruch Goldstein
Spirited away
To The Editor:
On Saturday, October 18, Purple and Gold held this
school’s first homecoming parade. All clubs and student
organizations were invited to participate.
In all, 22 groups took part in the event. Some covered
cars with colorful banners, others had large groups of
people marching, the fraternity EAM made a beautiful
float (which they spent many hours working on) and the
riding club even brought horses to campus. It was a great
show of the school spirit which SUNYA supposedly
lacks. And, each of these groups received publicity that
could never be gotten in any other way.
There was one problem, however. The:ASP, supposed-
ly a student press which covers the events of this campus,
printed neither a picture nor an article (not even one line)
about the event. We carefully covered the following Tues-
day and Friday issues of the ASP and were quite disap-
pointed by this revelation. Perhaps there was some ex-
planation, such as lack of space, but even this doesn’t ful-
ly justify the lack of interest demonstrated by this paper.
Many students put much time and energy into the suc-
cess of this event, and it is disgraceful that their efforts
went unacknowledged. 29 Kea

Editor’s note: A photo of the homecoming parade with a
caption ran on page 2 of the Tuesday, Oct. 21 issue of the
ASP. We regret that we were unable to give more com-
plete coverage.
GROWing up
To the Editor:
Do you get nervous in front of a group of people? If
you’re asked to help lead an activity do you suddenly
freeze up because of some inane fear taking over that
says, ‘‘But I’ve never done this before’’? Do you want to
become active in groups on campus but have trouble
overcoming this fear? If you answered yes to any of the
above questions then your chance to GROW has arrived.
We are writing this letter to let the students know about
an important event happening on SUNYA campus the
weekend of November 7-9. It is called GROW which
stands for ‘‘Grass Roots Organization Workshops” and
is being sponsored by SA (Student Association) and
SASU (Student Association of State Universities). We’d
just like to let everyone know how beneficial it would be
to attend these workshops by explaining its objectives and
sharing the opinions of other students who have already
experienced GROW.
GROW was developed by and for students to give stu-
dent organizers the tools to solve the problems they face.
The GROW seminar is designed to help you:
-Overcome campus apathy
-Increase the membership, reputation, funding, and in-
fluence of your organization
-Build more effective coalitions
-Understand and use the real power of student run groups
- Develop strategies to win specific issue campaigns
- Gain hands on organizing experience, and
- Build leadership skills
According to Jane McAlevey, immediate past president
of SASU, ‘The success of our state Student Association
lies in our ability to act on issues. The organizing sessions
have significantly helped to build our state Student
Association by giving the necessary organizing skills to
students on campus.”’ Stephanie Peters, immediate past
president of Ohio Student Association, said, “By far
GROW was the most organized and productive training
I’ve been in contact with. Even the most experienced stu-
dent leader will learn something new and useful.””
Remember, group leaders especially, it’s November 7-9
on SUNYA’s campus and the cost is a meager $10; pretty

Know your laws
To the Editor:
I feel compelled to write to you because in my view
your recent editorial on the Anti-Grouper Law is substan-
tially inaccurate on several points relating to the Univer-
sity’s role. For example, you indicate that the University
could at least have reminded students that the law is sti}l
in effect. The Off-Campus Housing Office provided this
information directly to students who came to the office
for information and assistance; workshops held on each
quad addressed this issue, along with others, for students
thinking about moving off campus; the Off-Campus
Awareness Day in the Campus Center on April 3, 1986
ad a panel discussion on ‘‘Tenant/Landlord Obligations
and the City Codes/Ordinances’’ with Mr. Alvaro of the
Code Enforcement Bureau as a panel member; and the
“Basic Guide to Living Off-Campus”’ includes a state-
ment from Dr. Pogue calling attention to the Anti-
Grouper Law. In fact, none of the articles I have seen
quoted students as being unaware of the existence of the
Anti-Grouper Law.
The fact is that on this and several other significant
points the editorial is based on a lack of information. I
would have been happy to provide the editorial staff with
specific information regarding communication with
students about the Anti-Grouper Law and University ac-
tivities designed to reduce the housing shortage for
students had they asked. Unfortunately, that did not oc-
cur and the community the ASP seeks to serve was short-
changed by this lack of attention to checking the informa-
tion on which the editorial was based.

“Send a Friend a balloon at the Con-

Sponsored by Telethon '87
Speaking about SUNYA’s pro-
posed fieldhouse, O’Leary said a
model should be available in
about a month.
Groundbreaking would begin
in April if the state legislature ap-
proves building funds. At this
point, only planning funds have
been approved.
O’Leary said his major reason
for supporting construction of the
fieldhouse was to give ‘‘students
something to do other than [be-
ing] stuffed in dormitory rooms
watching TV,’’ during winter
months.
“The weight room is a disgrace
for a major university,”’ he said,
adding that the average high
school provides better facilities.
When asked about SUNYA’s
withdrawal. from the SUNY
Athletic Conference and the
possibility of having teams play in
Division 1, O’Leary said that a
Division I sports program isn’t
one of his priorities.
He did say however, that
withdrawing from the SUNYACs
gave the University increased flex-
ibility and ‘‘more fun’’ playing
other teams.
“We're not going to stop play-
ing SUNYAC teams, but I’d like
to play NYU [New York Universi-
ty], a Division III school,”
O’Leary said.
O’Leary also fielded questions
on topics such as teaching
assistants who speak with foreign
accents, the. forthcoming
plus/minus grading system,
SUNYA’s Educational Oppor-
tunity Program, the effectiveness
of Student Association, and
financial aid.
After the show, O’Leary ex-
plained that by speaking on
WCDB he is ‘‘trying to find ways
to interact with students. The call-
in show is a good opportunity to
answer the questions that are on
students’ minds.
“A lot of people are curious
about a lot of things,’’ O’Leary
said. “‘There are new students
here all the time and you have to
explain things to them.
Therefore, I don’t mind people
asking me these questions.”’
WCDB General Manager Chris
Clark said O'Leary will do
another call-in show in March.
He added that no “‘prank’”’ ques-
tions were received, . although
there were no direct phone lines
to O’Leary.
“Our phone lines have no
delay,’ Clark said. ‘‘It would
have been horrible if someone
called in with a joke.”
However, not all questions got
through because of a limited
amount of time, Clark said. No
accurate measure of th enumber
of listeners could be made.
“T’d guess 4,000 to 5,000 peo-
ple were listening, but that might
| be a generous estimate,’’ Clark
said. QO

Spirit of Black Solidarity Day is
model for every minority group
By Roderick M. Williams
MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR
On Nov. 3, millions of blacks
across America celebrated Black
Solidarity Day. People
acknowledged the day in a variety
of ways.
Many chose to take leave of
work and/or Beyond
school to attend
events such as
parades, The
cultural exposi- ior
tions, and — on Majority
this campus — a series of day-
long activities highlighted by a
discussion of Afro-centricity by
Dr. Manning Marable, a pro-
fessor at Purdue University and a
noted columnist. The activities
were sponsored by the Albany
State University Black Alliance
(ASUBA) and included poetry
reading, gospel music, and a soul
food dinner on Dutch Quad.
Black Solidarity Day is a day
we should examine and reflect on
what we have done as individuals
to help blacks both here and
abroad. I hope that on this Black
Solidarity Day each one of us has
learned a little more about our
culture, gained a sense of commit-
ment to the plight of blacks all
over, reflected on how far we’ve
come as a people in this nation,
and yet realize how far we still
have to go.
The theme behind Black
Solidarity is — and should be —
echoed by all so-called minority
groups. Solidarity must come
from within individual groups so
as to achieve a coalition-type
solidarity.
A bit of solidarity was seen on
campus prior to the activities of
Nov. 3. Two parties were plann-
ed, on Friday Oct. 31, both
directed at the black and Hispanic
campus community.
One party was being planned
by the Pan-Carribean Associa-
tion, Fuerza Latina, and
ASUBA, and the other by a
Omega Psi Phi fraternity.
Representatives of the organiza-
tions met and prevented a poten-
tially embarassing situation which
would have had them competing
against one another on the
weekend before Black Solidarity
Day.
This campus has such few
cultural and social events for
minorities that it would be a
shame to have two events in direct
competition. I hope this show of
unification can continue and lines
of communication will stay open
so as to have more joint functions
without conflicts.
Oo
As the Albany Student Press’
new minority affairs editor, I’d
like to offer a general overview of
this column and its purpose.
T’d like to solicit your help with
this column because it is in fact
your column. It’s written for you
and about you. We, as minority
students, should use the paper as
a means of bringing our issues
and concerns to the attention of
this campus.
A letter to the editor is another
visible means of communication
on an issue.
In addition, the ASP is seeking
new reporters. It’s very important
that members of the minority
community participate in the
writing and editing of news
stories, especially those articles
relevant to minorities.
This column will appear
regularly in Friday’s editon of the
ASP. In future columns, there
will be listings of campus ac-
tivities sponsored by various
minority groups on campus.
Since I am black, my column
will naturally slant toward black
issues, but the position of minori-
ty affairs editor is such that I,
through the reader participation,
must inform other editors of
minority concerns.
That is one reason why I
recommend to those interested in
writing for the ASP that they do
so. If the diverse minority com-
munity of this school is to be best
represented in the writing of ac-
curate and fair articles, then a
culturally diverse group of
reporters is necessary.
All ideas and suggestions
should be placed in my mailbox in
the ASP office, CC 329. Oo
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Unbeknownst to each
other, public college presidents — normally a
decorous bunch of people — in a number of states
last week resorted to ‘‘last ditch’? barnstorming
trips, splashy lobbying media events and postures
of outright defiance to convince state legislators
not to impose what the presidents say will be a
ruinous new round of budget cuts.
Texas, Alaska, Idaho, Indiana, Wisconsin,
Montana, Alabama, Utah, Iowa and Missouri,
among other states, have recently — or are about
to — cut the amount of money they give to their
public colleges.
And their college administrators, claiming six
years of federal budget cuts already have forced
them to cut their operations to the bone, are warn-
ing that new state budget cuts will force them to
take drastic measures.
They say they will have to close some academic
departments, cut back on student service, hike tui-
tions and maybe even merge with other colleges.
“It’s close [to squeezing blood out of a tur-
nip],”” said University of Alaska President Dr.
Donald O’Dowd, whose school has had to slash
spending by 35 percent over the last several mon-
ths. ‘‘Alaska’s state revenue has been cut in half
the last eight months.’’
When Utah didn’t collect as much in taxes as it
had planned, it ordered all state agencies — in-
cluding colleges — to slash their budgets. At
Weber State, it meant firing 58 people, disbanding
the men’s wrestling and the women’s golf teams,
and dropping the economics degree program,
among others.
Budget cuts left the University of Fexas unable
to make some promised payments to one of its
research partners, and it is now losing faculty to
better-paying schools, Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby said
last week.
The Kansas Board of Regents last week an-
nounced it might soon start closing masters degree
programs, while Alaska’s O’Dowd reported
‘we'll probably have to cut academics. We can’t
continue to protect it any longer.’’
“This has not been the best of years,’’ said
Montana State President William Tietz, whose
campus budget is $1.2 million less than it was last
year at this time.
COaES * eti nal hice a
Many public college presidents hit
campaign trail against budget cuts
Meanwhile, some state college officials began
fighting back with some unusual histrionics last
week.
University of Wisconsin System President Ken-
neth Shaw tried to make the point by saying
budget cuts that have forced state campuses to
turn students away ‘‘make me cry.’’
The presidents of Idaho’s four state-supported
colleges went on a highly publicized ‘‘barnstorm-
ing tour’’ of six cities to plead their case for more
funding.
“We were given a good hearing,”’ said Idaho
State President Richard Bowen. ‘‘The minds are
more open’? to college funding needs, he added.
Purdue and Indiana universities, rivals in vir-
tually everything, have been jointly wining and
dining legislators at ‘‘breakfast, lunch and din-
ner’’.to try to win more funding, said Purdue Vice
President Dr. John Hicks.
The Faculty Senate at Utah State, meanwhile,
voted flatly to refuse to join the administration’s
mandate effort to cut an extra six percent of this
year’s budget in order to absorb the state funding
decline.
Northern Iowa’s administrators were so upset
by state budget news two weeks ago that they
bought an ad protesting state education funding
“stinginess’’ in the Des Moines Register
newspaper.
“The governor believes the money spent on this
ad would be better spent on student education,””
Dick Vohs, Gov. Terry Branstad’s press secretary,
replied angrily. The half page ad cost $2,050.
But few expect the state funding cuts to stop
any time soon, if only because states in the energy
and farm regions don’t have more money to give
to their colleges. i a
“Times are tough for the state. I wouldn’t call
this a decline in state funding, but a flattening,”
said Illinois State’s Dr. Edward-Hines, who tracks
state funding of colleges.
“T do expect it to last well beyond five years,
however. The economic future is not particularly
bright or rosy for some farm state and those with
oil or mineral related industries,’ Hines said.
“They will experience problems again next year.’

Counseling center provides
avariety of helpful referrals
By Rochelle Katz
and Annette Perot
Middle Earth Counseling Center’s many
services include a wide range of referrals
on anything from sexuality to substance
abuse. Many students are already aware of
this, but far fewer are actually familiar
with some of these “
helpful referrals and Middle
what type of services
they provide to students Earth
and other members of RQOtS
the community.
One common referral is Planned Paren-
thood, which provides routine
gynecological exams and treatment, con-
traceptive prescriptions and supplies,
pregnancy testing, venereal disease and
cancer screening, and counseling. Planned
Parenthood is located at 259 Lark Street in
Albany, and serves the University com-
munity at the infirmary (Student Health
Center) on Monday and Thursday even-
ings from 4:30 to 9 p.m. All services are
confidential and special rates are available
for college students. Appointments for
either location of Planned Parenthood can
be made by calling the Lark Street office at
434-2182 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Most people would agree that life can be
a hectic, confusing place at times and
students are definitely not exempt from
this feeling. But many students might not
be aware of the services provided by the
University Counseling Center (UCC),
which offers free individual and group
counseling for SUNYA students. The
counseling center is staffed by professional
psychologists, graduate assistants, and
graduate students involved in practicum,
all of whom are trained to provide a varie-
ty of services related to personal and social
concerns as well as vocational and educa-
tional counseling. UCC is located at the
Student Health Center, room 214. The
center is open Monday to Friday from 8:30
a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be contacted at
442-5800.

Albany swims to first and fourth place finishes
By Mike Brewster
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
For the first time in over four
years the Albany State mens
swimmers staked a claim to some
of the medals awarded in their
own Great Danes Relays on
Saturday as they finished in
fourth place behind U.S. Coast
Guard, the winners of the meet.
The women were even more
successful as they won first place
medals in four different relay
events en route to a first place
finish.
“Pm very pleased with both the
men and women,” said third year
coach David Turnage. ‘‘The men
took three second place medals,
and those were the first medals
we’ve gotten in four years in these
relays,”’ he added.
The three events the Danes
took second in were the three
hundred butterfly relay, the 800
free relay and the 200 freestyle
relay.
In. the three hundred three
sophomores, Pete McElerny,
Rich Van Brundt and Mike
Jackson, carried the Danes. Van
Brundt credited McElerny and
Jackson as having good ° split
times, while explaining. that this
event isn’t his best.
“The butterfly is a weak stroke
for me,”’ said the Elmira native.
In the 200 freestyle it was tri-
captain Fred Greenbaum, Mike
Koutelos, McElerny, and Van
Brundt doing the swimming while
in the 800 it was McElerny,
Jackson, Greenbaum, and Mark
Champagne, who participated.
McElerny was the sole Albany
State swimmer to appear in all
three medal winning races.
The women were led by tri-
captain Carol Pearl, freshmen
Kriss Cusse and Caro Russo,
Carol Elie, Jeanie Cuniff, Robin
Roach and Amy Foster. All par-

The half ended with Hofstra
ahead 21-14.
The third quarter was unevent-
ful. Hofstra did score on a3 point
field goal of 35 yards kicked by
Kuzniar with 4:15 left in thi
period to put the Dutchmen up by
ten, 24-14.
The Dutchmen soared to a
30-14 lead in the fourth quarter.
Squeri’s 41-yard pass to Jim Scul-
ly set up a first and 10 on the
Albany 13. Squeri, who com-
pleted 9 of his 18 passes for 172
yards on the day, hit Moore for a
13-yard touchdown. For the first
time in his four attempts, Kuz-
niar’s kick was no good.
“I don’t know what happen-
ed,” said Albany’s Ryder, who
completed 8 of-his 22 passes for
153 yards. ‘‘I don’t think they are
that good of a team. We played
bad. Once we started passing they
dropped back so we couldn’t
throw the ball.””
Hofstra defensive coordinator
Harry Royle said that Ryder was
the second best quarterback the
Dutchmen have faced.
Albany gained 163 yards on the
run and a high 153 in the air.

“We were looking for the pass

Albany with 97 yards rushing.
“‘We needed the big score quick
and Glenn was having a good day
so we threw to him.”” é
He added, ‘‘It just wasn’t going
our way.””

Turnage added that the diving
team also came in second in both
the one meter and three meter
diving events. Mike Vardi and
Matt Montague were the divers.

dual meet match at Hartwick on

said Carlin. “I dropped a lot of
passes. Pat put them right on the
money. Maybe it was a lack of
concentration on my part. I don’t
know what happened.”
Ford felt his defense failed to
stop Hofstra’s backs on the first
hit.
“They must have had nine ten-
ths of their yards as violent yards
— after we hit them,” said Ford.
“But that’s a credit to the
talented people they have.’”*
Defensively, the Danes were led
by Sarcone with 8'solo tackles and
5 assists. Singleton contributed 5
solos, four assists and one tackle
for a loss and one sack.
“The most important thing,’?
said Sarcone, “‘is that we lack

Albany their second loss of the

both public and private schools.
“TI think we tried too hard to-

We tried just a little too hard,”
said Dwyer.
The Danes are also seeded first

hoping for a good performance to

the upcoming NCAAs.

drive from their 4-yard line and

He added, “Our defense is
capable of stopping anybody. In
the second half there were times

times when we didn’t.”?
The Danes dropped to 4-4
while the Dutchmen continue to
be a playoff contender at 7-1,

In looking ahead to this
weekend's match-up against the
University of Buffalo, the Great
Danes could take some comfort in
the fact that they handily shut-out
their opponent, 20-0, in last
year’s contest.
But unfortunately for Albany,
much of the team they defeated
last year has been benched this
season to make room for a better
one.
“They’re much stronger this
year,”’ said Albany assistant
coach Tim Keenan. ‘‘Their whole
"| backfield is back from last
season, but they got so many
good, new transfers in that
they’re all sitting on the bench.’”
Buffalo is 7-2 going into Satur-
| day’s game, their only losses be-
ing to Ithaca, who defeated the
Danes earlier in the season, and
Division II Townsend State. The
re-vamped team is looking at a
possible NCAA or ECAC bid.
“We're an entirely different
team than from what Albany fac-
ed Jast year,” said Buffalo Head
Coach Bill Dando. ‘‘We’re older,
we have some new transfers, and
we’re healthy.”
The Bull’s new offensive
players have enabled the team to
alter their former pass-oriented
offense to one more evenly
balanced in ~both passing and
running.
“We have a more balanced at-
tack this year,’* said Dando. ‘‘We
move the ball through the air or
the ground, we don’t care which.
That means teams can’t gang up
on us in one area.””
The players Albany will most
have to gang up upon, include
§-11, 195 pound running back
Tim Underwood, 6-2, 185 pound
quarterback Ken Crosta, and
5-11, 195 pound fullback Tim
Teicher. Underwood, a junior
transfer from Division I Kent
State, already has gained 977
yards and scored 11 touchdowns
this season. Crosta, a senior
transfer from Ithaca College, has
completed 1340 passing.
If the Danes are going to hurt
Buffalo’s defensive unit, they’ll
have to contain inside linebackers
Mike Laipple, a 6-3, 230 pound
senior and Steve Wojciechowski,
a 6-1, 221 pound junior. Free
safety Steve Nappo who has nine
interceptions on the season, is
also a potential threat to the
Danes.
“He captains their defense,”’
said Dane assistant coach George
Kontsis. ‘‘He returns punts, gets
in on tackles, and is always
around the ball.””
But Buffalo is at a disadvan- -
tage in that they haven’t seen the
wishbone yet this season.
“Tt’s not something you face
every week,”” said Dando. ‘This
is the first time we’ve seen it all
season, and it’s always given us a
handful.”
The Dane offense will be aided
this week by the return of offen-
sive lineman Charlie Guddemi,
who has been out with a knee in-
jury. The Danes will start

Albany State men booters finish season at .500
By Cathy Errig
STAFF WRITER
Last year, they finished the season with
barely a wimper. This year, they went out
with a bang.
The Albany State men’s soccer team
concluded their season with a 6-0 domina-
tion of Manhattanville College last Friday.
The victory was the third consecutive win
for the Dane booters, and their fourth in
the last five games. Most significant to the
Danes is the fact that the end-of-season
surge enabled the team to attain their mid-
season goal of finishing with a .500 record
of 8-8.
“*'§00 was just what we were shooting
for,’’ said senior Captain Carl Ioos. ‘And
if we had played the whole season the way
we played the last five games, we would
have had a winning season. If we could
have those earlier games back now, there
would be no question about it.””
The Danes couldn’t have those games
back, but they made the most of the only
contest they had left. Friday’s game was
controlled completely by the Danes, and
proved that their winning the University
Center Championship the preceding
weekend had not been a fluke.
The first half was the more even of the
game, as the Danes scored only two of
their six goals during this period. Foward
Bill Knapp scored both for the Danes, and
was assisted each time by midfielder Chris
Chruma.
The Danes more clearly established their
command in the second half when they
followed the suggestion of.assistant coach
Aldo Nardiello to change their game
strategy from a long-passing game to a
short-passing game-
“Our skill level was higher than theirs,’”
explained Ioos, ‘‘and by changing to a
short-pass game we were able to keep the
ball on the ground more and take advan-
tage of that.’’
The strategy change enabled the Danes
to add four goals in the final half. Foward
Rowan Campbell had two, one unaided
and one assisted by senior foward Tihan
Presbie. Presbie ended his collegiate soccer
career by scoring a goal of his own with the
assistance of midfielder James Debritz,
and the final Dane goal was scored by. . .

By Steve Wortman

Whoever came up with the saying that
the play of your special teams could great-
ly help or hurt you in a hockey game would
certainly have liked what he saw Sunday
night as Albany State beat Marist College
of Poughkeepsie by a score of 7-4. Of the
eleven goals scored in the game, only four
occured when the two teams were playing
at full strength.
The contingent of Dan Esler, Scott Ely,
and Dave Dalbec led the Danes to their
first victory of the season as they evened
up their record at 1-1. The line had a total
of nine points in the game, which was
highlighted by Ely’s two goals and
Dalbec’s four assists.
Other scorers for the Danes were Peter
Leskody, Tom Wu, sophomore Jeff Mur-
ray, and winger Ed Grano. Andrew
Gilberti had two goals for Marist as their
record now drops to 0-2.
In the first period, Gilberti opened the
scoring on. the power play as he beat
Albany’s goalie Tim Ruggiero with a wrist
shot from the top of the left faceoff circle.
The Danes replied quickly thereafter with
three goals, two of which came on the
power play by Dalbec and Wu. In between
them came a shorthanded goal by Leskody
as he scored up high over the goalie’s
shoulder right off the faceoff in the Marist
zone.
The difference in the first period and
half of the second was the play of Rug-
giero. He stopped 18 of the 20 shots he fac-
ed in those thirty minutes and kept the
Danes in the lead when they were playing
shorthanded for a substantial part of the
time. Dalbec commented on the
sophomore goalie, saying, ‘Tim came up
really big for us. For this being his first
game, he played extremely well.”
In the second with the the score 8-2
Albany, Ely scored on a_ beautiful
breakaway as he deked to the left and then
back to the right to put a backhander past
the fallen Ralph Cansella of Marist. With
the Danes enjoying a two-man advantage,
Murray scored his first goal of the season
on aslapshot from just inside the blueline.
Ely then scored once again on the nicest
play of the night to put Albany up 6-2.
Esler and Dalbec assisted on the play as
Ely cut in on the right side of the net, took
the cross ice pass and tipped it in the open
side for his third goal of the season.
Albany Coach Bruce Pomokoy, in
regard to his high powered line stated,
“Esler, Ely and Dalbec work very well
together. Esler has that sixth sense to
always be in the right place at the right
time so he can compliment the speed of
Scott and Dave.”
He added, ‘“‘We have a much more
balanced team this year. All three lines
played well tonight, which takes the
pressure off any specific line.””
With a goal late in the second and
another one in the third period, Marist cut
Albany’s lead in half to 6-4. Late in the
third, sophomore goalie Paul Cagnard
came up big in the last two minutes as
Marist had three or four good scoring op-
portunities right in front of the net. With
only a few seconds left, Ed Grano scored
an empty net goal to clinch the 7-4 victory
for Albany.
After the game, Coach Pomokoy said,
“Our forechecking was much improved
from the last game. Because of the
pressure we put on them, we had a lot
more quality shots.” As for the defensive
play of his team he said, ‘‘Positionally
there was a big improvement. We played
the'man a lot better this game than we did
against Fordham.””
For the second straight game, Albany
was called for a lot of unnecessary
penalties. They had a total of 18 penalty
minutes to increase their total for the year
to 38 minutes in all. But due to the im-
provement of the penalty killing and the
play of Ruggiero and Cagnard, the Danes
were not as badly hurt as they were against
Fordham when they gave up four power
play goals.
Commenting on the penalties Dalbec
said, ‘“They are a combination of us not
always being disciplined and in some in-
stances it was a case of us retaliating
against them highsticking or elbowing us.””
Albany’s first league game will take
place this Sunday against Cortland at 3:00
in Watervliet.
If the Danes can spend less time in the
penalty box and play a solid defensive
game, they should come out of Sunday’s
contest with a 2-1 record. With the balanc-
ed scoring of the three lines andthe solid
goaltending they are getting from Cagnard
and Ruggiero, there is no limit as to how
good this hockey team can become. oO

Flying Dutchmen ambush Great Danes, 30-14

By Kristine Sauer
SPORTS EDITOR
Hempstead, N.Y.
Saturday’s football game between
Albany and Hofstra began looking like a
shootout at the O.K. Corral, but turned in-
to a 30-14 ambush by the Flying Dut-
chmen, as the Danes’ offense ran out of
ammunition in the second. half.
Inconsistency proved to be the Danes
worst enemy once again, as it was earlier in
the season, as Albany’s offense failed to
score in the second half. Meanwhile, the
defense, which was missing the services of
senior safety Wayne Anderson who sat out
due to an NCAA decision declaring his ap-
pearance in a Benetton advertisement last
week in violation of student athletic
guidelines, was unable to hold off
Hofstra’s explosive attack.
“We didn’t uphold our end in terms of
a shootout,”’ said a disappointed Albany
Head Coach Bob Ford.
The Dutchmen came out fighting, scor-
ing on their first two possessions, to jump
out to a 14-0 lead with 8:50 left in the first
quarter. Hofstra struck on a 7 play scoring
drive of 80 yards. Senior quarterback Alan
Squeri, off an inside reverse pitch from
wide receiver Lou Palermo, gained 37
yards to put the Dutchmen in Albany ter-
ritory. Four plays later, it was Squeri again
on another inside reverse for an 11-yard
touchdown.
Hofstra kicker, Phil Kuzniar, ranked se-
cond nationally, made good for the extra
point putting the Dutchmen ahead 7-0 at
the 10:42 mark.
When Hofstra scored again with 8:50
left in the first quarter on a Squeri 56-yard
pass to Palermo, they showed their ability
to nip the Danes quickly as the one play
drive only expired 12 seconds off the
clock.

our defense got settled and our offense
started moving the ball we’d come back.’”
And the Danes did, as they stopped
Hofstra’s next two possessions in three
plays with key tackles by linebackers Bo
Murphy and Frank Sarcone, and corner-
back Rich Kozak. Sophomore Darryl
Singleton sacked Squeri for a loss of il
yards. The Danes defense was also aided
by tight pass coverage by halfback Gerry
Brown.
Albany struck again to tie it at 14-14 ear-
ly in the second quarter. To score this
time, the Danes drove 95 yards in 5 plays
taking 1:52 off the clock. Ryder kept the
ball for a 5-yard gain before completing a
41-yard pass to Carlin to put Albany just
over midfield. Mitchell carried up the mid-
ddle for 5 yards. Pedro again set up first
and goal on the Hofstra 3, as he broke
open for a 41-yard romp. Ryder then con-
nected with Carlin for a 2-yard touchdown
pass. Tony Chechile’s extra point was on 2
target again to tie up the game.
“The offensive line, they always play
tremendous,”? said Pedro about his
breakaway run. ‘Glenn Carlin had a super
day. He made a great block for me that
opened the play up.”

Danes into Hofstra’s territory for the first

also a freshman, connected with junior

Additionally, Craig Parlato, the

Also, Tom Shoenig, the Danes
number seven runner was unable to
attend the meet.
Albany took out the pace harder
then they had anticipated, partly due
to the fact that the first mile was
downhill. Hoff, as usual, went out
with the leaders as he “crossed the
mile at 4:58 in approximately 25th
place. Junior Pat Paul was next as he
crossed the mile at 5:03. Junior
Trevor Hash, senior Jack Glaser,
and sophomore Vernon Miller ran as
a pack as they crossed the mile in
5:05.
“J figured we would hit the first
mile between 5:10 and 5:15,’ ex-
plained Albany head coach Roberto
Vives, ‘‘but it was an easy mile and
ee ee eg ee ee ee eet
Hoff sparks harriers to seventh place
everybody pushed it.””
Hoff said, ‘‘Despite that the time
was fast I knew by my position that I
was in the right pack.”
The second mile, by contrast was
hilly and very slow. Hoff passed
through at 10:50. Hash moved up as
he ran the two miles in 11 minutes,
just ahead of Glaser, Paul, and
Miller.
By the 5,000 meter (3.1 mile) mark
Hoff had moved up to 15th place at
16:39. However, Albany’s pack was
fading as they were nearly a minute
from Hoff.
Throughout the second half of the
race Hoff picked up places. He rana
time of 33:42, which placed him in
seventh. This is the best finish of any
Dane runner at the State meet in re-
cent years. He was the Danes
number one runner at the states a
year ago, as well. This has been a
banner season for Hoff in which he
has improved with virtually every
race. He’ is ninth on the all-time
Dane cross country rankings.
Hoff said after the race, “‘I felt
relaxed and picked up momentum
throughout the race. I felt strong
towards the end and had maybe a lit-
tle too much (energy) left.””
Coach Vives said of Hoff, “You
could tell he was relaxed during the
race. He now nows he has the ability
to run with the top runners in the
state and region.’’

Albany spikers’ win
streak halted by Red
Dragons at SUNYACs
By Mike Brewster
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
So you think the SUNYAC competition in basketball is
fierce? Sorry, but the level of playing in women’s SUNY
volleyball makes the hoop scene look like little more than
a friendly neighborhood 5 on 5.
Albany State, 33-1 and ranked fifth in’ the nation
leading into this weekend’s SUNYAC tournament, was
knocked off in the semi-finals by the Cortland Red
Dragons. The Danes later beat Geneseo in the consolation
match to take third place in the tournament.
“It’s just one of those things,’’ said Albany coach Pat
Dwyer. ‘‘We’ve beaten Cortland three times this year, but
in volleyball every match is close and today’s could have
went either way. I must say I’m disappointed, but it’s not
like we gave them the match or anything.
The defeat was not catastrophic in nature by any
means. The Danes are still pretty much assured of an
NCAA bid and as coach Dwyer explains, a loss to Cor-
tland, even when you are 33-1, is nothing to hang over
your head about.
“Cortland is 37-12, and I’d say the SUNYAC Con-
ference is one of the best in the nation. And then when
you consider that Buffalo is nationally ranked, you can
see that when you don’t play up to your ability, as we fail-
ed to do today, then’ people can beat you.”’
Albany started the tournament convincingly enough,
downing New Paltz 15-10, 15-9, The Danes were even
more impressive in the next round as they pummeled
Binghamton by a 15-1, 15-7 score. Geneseo succumbed
next, 15-10, and the stage was set for the semi-finals.
Albany won the first game of the match, 15-13, but the
second was all Cortland as they won 15-6, The 15-9 Red
