Albany hosts CCNY tonight in Capital District

By Mark Levine
and Keith Marder

‘At Monday afternoon's press
luncheon for this weekend's Capital
Disirict Basketball ‘Tournament,
the almosphere was strictly friendly
‘and informaly Coaches and players
from the three area teams were pre-
sent, and they spent time together
discussing topics ranging from last
year's tournament to Devil's Bag
being scratched from the Remsen,
But when the ball woes up for the
‘opening (ap tonight at University
Gym the atmosphere will be
anything but friendly. College
basketball will be underway,

For the host Albany Great
Danes, who will face CCNY in
tonight's second game, revenge will
certainly be in their thoughts, Last
year the Danes entered the tourna:
ment at Union as the pre-
tournament favorite, at least in
their minds, But after n ae

iriple overtime thriller of a fina

This year the Danes enter the
tournament as more of an under
dog, according 10 Albany Head
Coach Dick Sauers,

"1 felt last year we came into the
(ournament as a team and we felt
we were the team that should win
the tournament," Sauers said,
“When we lost that triple overtime
game that was kind of a blow to our
go, | think this year we're coming
ina little more uncertain. We feel
that we have as good a team as
anybody, but 1 don't think any of
my players classify themselves as

the pre-tournament favorite,’

That role would appear to belong
to the defending champion Dut-
chmen, of whom Sauers said at the
luncheon, ‘1 think Union's got by
far the most talented group return-
ing and the best record last year.
Obviously, they've got to be the
favorite,

Union, who will open the tourna
ment against RPI tonight at 6:30,
had their best basketball campaign
ever in 1982-83, finishing at 21-5
id gaining the first NCAA berth in
the school’s history, where they
were knocked off by Hartwick in
the first round of the East Regional,
Head Coach Bill Seanton has four
Olt of five starters returning and,
up until a few weeks ago, Union
seemed (0 be on the verge of
another big year, But recent injuries
have set them back somewhat, and
it appears the Dutchmen are not as
ready ais anticipated.

The graduation of point guard
Joe Clinton (14,6 points per game,
7 assists per game last year) left a
huge void, but one that seemed 10
be more than adequately filled by
junior Peter Torncello, But Torn
cello, an excellent shooter and
ballhandler who. transferred from
division | Rhode Island and thus
had to sit out last year, recently in
jured ligaments in his thumb, Ac
cording to Seanion he will be out
anyoiere from iv tos weeks, In
Addition, swingman Jim Doherty
hurt his knee in the preyeason and is
‘oul indetinitely.

This has forced a bit of reshuttl
ing, according to Scanlon, in
cluding moving Joe Wood (19.1
ppg, 3.7 rpg, 3.6 ape) from

Jan Zadoori
shooting guard,

BOD LUCKEY UPS
will play a key role for Albany at small forward and

shooting guard to point guard.

“Welre experimenting with
that," Seanton said on Monday.
“We're going to have to ask an
Wwful lot of Joe, especially now
With Pete injured, But he's a great
athlete, and he's responding well to
the challenge."

Wood's jumpshot with four
seconds remaining sent last year's
yame into a second overtime. He is
an outstanding leaper. and. scorer,
and must be controled if the Dut
‘chmen are to be beaten,

Another key member of this
talented Union team is center Ken
D'Oracio (14.0 ppg, 9.3 rpa, 56.1
percent ficld goal shooting),
DiOrazio outplayed John
Digckelman in fast year’s final, and.
his fine shooting touch can wreak
havoe on an opposition's big man,

"1 think that’s one of his major
atiributes-he has the ability to
seore Inside as well as outside,"
Scanton noted, “I think it’s a big
age if you can bring a big guy
away from the basket with his
Shooting. He's got great range;
you're talking 18-20 feet. He's pro:
bably the best shooter I've got.’

D'Orazio says he is looking for
ward (0 a possible rematch with the
Danes

“1 always like to play Alban;
he said. “I like (0 get up for
Albany, Especially now that John)
Mracek’s on the (eam and he used
to be with us, He's a good guy and
We like to get pumped up against
him."

Union's opponent, the Engineers
of RPI, will be led by first year
Head Coach John Quattrocehi, a
former player and assistant coach
here at Albany under Sauers.

For the first time in 30 years RPI

Won't be under the helm of Bill
Kalbaugh, who stepped down at the
end of last year, Quattrocchi will
have a difficult time trying 10
replace Kalbaugh and at the same
time rebuild a team that went 7-17
last year and hasn't had a winning
season since 1977-78, He thinks he
will be up t0 the task,
“1 think I'm ready," he sald Mon-
day, **I'mjust not sure how I'll res-
pond, I feel I van do the job; 1 just
Want to get started."

The Engineers have also been set
back by injuries recently, most
seriously to sophomore forward
John Mahoney (6.1 ppg), who is
‘ul 6-8 weeks with an illness. This
has caused Quattrocchi to throw his
Starting forward position up for
grabs.

“In Mahoney's absence we've
been juggling people in and out
fe mot sure yet (who will
start),"” he said,

The backcourt is set, with senior
Erie Weinberger(11,5 ppg, $4.1 per-
cent field goal shooting) and
Sophomore Mike Giannaccini retur-
ning, Weinberger is the integral part
of the offense, According (o Quat-
{rocchi he has an excellent shot, and
*We expect him {0 shoot whenever
he wants to,””

Senior co-captain Kelly Collins
(8.6 ppg) is the likely starter at
center

For certain, one thing Quatiroc-
hi has brought in is an air of en-
thusiasm. RPI held its first practice
At 12:01am on October 15th, the
earliest possible practice session
permitted by NCAA regulations.

Albany (uned up for the Capital
District most recently with a scrim
mage against Division Il Springfield
College last Sunday.

BOB LUCKEY UPS

Dave Adam and the Great Danes will be shooting for the Capital
District Championship beginning tonight.

*We needed it very badly,’ said
Sauers of the team's first scrimmage
against another school, ‘We got
Off (0 a very slow start, but once we
got moving I was very pleased with
what we did,'®

Albany under Sauers has tradi
tionally played mostly man-to-man
defense, but the Danes showed
mostly zone against Springfield,
and this trend should continue as
the season progresses, and most

definitely tonight

“1 think we might be a little bet-
ter in a zone right now," said
Sauers, ‘because of inexperience of

some people and the lack of a real
quality person inside — they tend to
foul when they get out of position.

“1 think we're going to start ina
yone against. CCNY for two
reasons. One is to keep out of early
foul trouble and sec if they can
shoot, and second to get a better
idea of how to match up if we have
to go man-to-man. It's pretty hard
to do that — we hayen't seen them.
T only had them scouted once, and
that was at the end of last year.”

From whatever other limited in
formation Sauers had available, he
also said that CCNY has about half
Of last year's 9-17 team returning
and he expects them to play a zone
defense and zonepress. They are
goached by Floyd Lane, a former
player in CCNY’s glory days when
they won the NCAA and NIT
Championships in the same year. In
Addition, they had won four of the
previous nine CUNY Champion-
ships prior to last year, so they cer-
tainly will be no pushover,

As far as the Dane players
themselves, the general feeling is
that the team fs ready.

"1 think we're ready,'” com-
mented point guard Danny Croutier

after the Springficld scrimmage, ‘If
We keep up the intensity that we had
at the end of the game I think we'll
do really well — we've just got 10
get the intensity level up in the
beginning of the game, I’m very
ready for this."*

“Think the game (Springfield) is
going to be to our advantage,
commented Mracck, who is ob-
viously geared up for a possible
matchup with Union, his former
school. “Springfield has a quick
team, and CCNY is going to do a
Jot of running and we got back well
on defense, Springfield is a lol big-
ger and stronger inside and we still
worked our offense pretty well.’*

As far as the matchups this
Weekend go, on paper the Dut-
chmen scem logical favorites. But
the recent injuries and reshutfling
have put them somewhat behind
last year's schedule,

“Last year we had a very, very
good preseason,” Scanlon said,
“one of the reasons being we had
more defined roles. This year we
don't enjoy that luxury. Guys are
finding themselves in grey areas and
4s a coaching staff we're experienc
ing the same thing, I think it’s going
to take us longer this year to per
form as a cohesive unit,”

“If they're playing people out of
position because of that (injuries)
that could be a big factor in the
tournament,"* Sauers said, ‘1 think
they have quality inside people and
@ quality shooting guard in Joe
Wood, But if Joe Wood is forced to
play point guard and rearrange all
the positions that can be a big fac-
tor, The point guard is a key man.”

It all gets underway tonight, and
ifthe action is half'as exciting as last
year’s Capital District Tournament,
it's going to bea great weekend, [|

(SSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

“T have to get going," a SUNYA student said casually
Sunday night, “I'm going to watch the end of civilization."

An hour later two dark mushrooms flashed across
millions of T.V. screens around the nation as more than
100 million people witnessed the residents of Lawrence,
Kansas become instantly transformed into ashes in ABC's
fictional depiction of a nuclear war

The (wo and a half hour movie, “The Day After’’ cost

ABC seven million dollars to produce and attempted to
graphically depict some of the scientifically predicted ef-
fects of a nuclear attack.
The network advised parents to exercise discretion in
lowing their youngsters to watch the movie, aud many
psychologists and counselors across the nation warned
viewers not to watch alone,

At SUNYA, many students packed themselves into the
Campus Center and some residential lounges to view the
highly publicized movie.

SUNYA Student Ellen Murray reported that her lounge
and sulle room were filled with students watching the
movie, "There was total silence,"” she sald, "even during
commercials,"

John Curry, a freshman, said he felt the movie was eff
tive in raising the public's consciousness, but, as many
other critics have also argued, it presented a modified ver-
sion of what a real nuclear war would be like, “I thought it
Was unrealistic because an actual nuclear war would be
much more severe and there would never be that many sur
vivors,"" he asserted.

Many students said they felt the movie was too hyped
and over dramatized by the media, prior to its airing,

Several members of the New York Public Interest
Research Group (NYPIRG), which publicly supports
nuclear freeze, sald the movie was disappointing because it
did not illustrate enough of the predicted outcome of a
nuclear war, The movie did serve some functions they
stressed, because it did make them want to work even
harder for disarmament

“For people who hadn't studied the issue at all it's a real-
ly good starting point," said Ephram Kann, a NYPIRG
coordinator

“1 expect that it raised the general level of awareness on
this campus. IU’Il be a lot easier to speak to classes on this
issue,"” added NYPIRG coordinator Paul Herrick

Herrick noted, however, that he has read several books
that were much more frightening than the movie.

Professors challenge SUNYA system of tenure

By Jim O'Sullivan
PDITORIAL ASSISTANT

In a dramatic condemnation of SUNYA's tenure and
Promotion system, English professor Myron Taylor has
Charged that professors are promoted not for their teaching
skills but for their research abilities

Several professors have challenged Taylor's charges and
both the University President and the Vice President for
Academic Affairs have defended the system against the
allegations.

English professor Myron Taylor

Enraged over SUNYA fenure policy,

Taylor said that Ke was making his charges public in light
of the current debate and public concern over education in
the United States,

“IP there's any place in America where the contempt for
teaching is absolutely pronounced and strident it’s in the
University, and nowhere Is that more (ruc than here"? at
SUNYA, he said,

Taylor made his most serious charges against the tenure
and promotion process,

The only way to get promoted, asserted Taylor, is to get
good evaluations from peers outside the community,; “At
every single level letters must be solicited from outside
evaluators... who know nothing about the teaching,
nothing about local responsibilities’ of the person being
evaluated.

In order to get good evaluations, you must make a name
for yourself in your field, and this, Taylor believes, leads to
teachers ignoring their responsibilities to their students,

Addressing Talyor's charges, SUNYA Vice President for
Academic Affairs Ramaley said that ‘for a while we
overstated research because we were growing into a Univer-
sity from a teacher's college... people overestimated and
overemphasized scholarship in order to get us staffed in a
way which seemed to fit our new mold,”
said the institution is maturing, and research and
education were becoming equally emphasized, but that
tenure and promotion should not be granted unless original
research or scholarship had been made by a teacher. This
comes with being a part of a University center, she explain-
c

Taylor m:

ntained, “Within the system everything is
done to encourage you to ignore all of your local respon.
sibilities in order to make sure you get a name" in your
field, Taylor talked about his own experience, like every
‘other person coming through the mill | was told essentially
to do just exactly tha

#1 couldn't get it (tenure) now, 1 wouldn't have th
slightest chance,’ Taylor said, Ramaley declared tha
*SSUNYA's mission is research and teaching "and the two
are “inseparably linked,"

She said that tenure and promotion decisions are made
through guidelines developed by the University Senate,
Which can then be accepted or modified by the President,
Who must also take into account union contracts and the
policies of the SUNY Board of Trustees. These are for
mulated together and after the President's approval, given
to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for implementa
tion,

The Guidelines for the Preparation of Recommendations
for Promotion linuing Appointment for 1983-84
define scholarship as “original scho

tute significant advances or ma-

serve as a basis for major professional awards or distinc
tions in the discipline."”

The Guidelines, which Ramaley called a ‘cookbook?
because they tell exactly how to evaluate a applicant, also
said that "Scholarship and teaching will not be traded off,
One against the other, Excellence in one area will not com-
ie for deficiency in another,’”
lor explained how a 1974 SUNYA Select Committee
ucational Priorities was, he believes, a major factor
giving research such weight in tenure deo
committee was chaired by the current University Pr
Vincent O'Leary.

"While this particular committee defined Ur
priorities, there was not one undergraduate teacher on it,
Nor anyone concerned with undergraduate ed
Taylor charged,

He went on to say that the document written by the com.
mittee said, in effect, that “Undergraduate education will

Conference cites shortage in math, science teachers

Overspending leads to financial worries for SA

By Ian Clements
STAPF WRITER

Student Association, currently
faced with the possibility of
Overspending its budget, is drawing
up plans that would encourage SA
funded groups to stay within their
alloted budgets, according to SA
Controller Adam Barsky,

Barsky said he has drawn up two
plans, One proposal is a '*5 percent
across the board cut." the other
plan involves freezing the budgets
of SA-sponsored groups which have
overspent during the first semester,

SA President Rich Schaffer

acknowledged that overspending
has been a chronic problem for SA.
“We're trying to make SA fiscally
responsible, ‘There's been an al-
titude of la-di-ca, let next year's SA
take care of the problem,’” he said,

The groups that Barsky cited as
the “real problems" are the dance,
theater and music councils and
cultural organizations, such as
Fuerza Latina,

“These groups require lots of
money for their events, but they
don't draw as much as campus-wide
groups,"" said Barsky. ‘Campus
wide groups'* include the food and
Tecord co-ops and the University

Concert Board, he explained.

He said that the problem groups
are “not money-makers.”” But he
stressed the need to continue fun-
ding these organizations at decreas-
‘ed income lines,

Under the current system, Barsky
said groups “‘have no incentive to
make their income lines." He pro-
posed that groups which chronically
‘overpsend should receive lower in-
come lines.

Barsky explained that he has pro-
posed some long-range changes in
the budget process. He said that he
plans to reduce the budget alloca-
tlons of SA-funded organizations

Quad Board revises prize request

Indian Quad Board has modified
quest for prize money because
they did not believe the Student
Association would grant it in view
Of recent SA legislation which limits
prize allocations, according to
Quad Board President Ivan Shore
Shore explained that, “The Resi
dent Assistants from Adirondack
and Cayuga halls proposed a
scavenger hunt as an RA project
There would be several two-person,
teams participating, The prizes were
originally going to amount to up to.
$400. First prize was planned to bc
4 $125 trip for two to Manhattat
for a Broadway play; second prize
was originally (wo black and white
(elevsion sels; and other prizes
would include dinners at
restaurants,
Shore said the idew was sugested

to SA Controller Adam Barsky who
fell the amount of prize money was
excessive and would not be approx
cd by SA

Shore explained, “The four RA
involved were upset, They felt Quad
Board is composed — of
knowledgeable students
wouldn't approve absurd things.

According to Barsky, Central
Council recently passed a bill
stating that no cash prizes will be
SA funded, although SA will grant
some exceptions,

The reason Barsky cites for pasy
ing the bill is, “I don't think
nls intend 10 spend the $92
nt activity fee in the form of
expensive prizes. 1 also don't think
Prizes should be used (0 attract peo.

Central Council member Dave
Silk expressed his belief that cash

that prizes stich ay tickets and hotel
Feservations would not be covered
in that bill but may be limited by a
bill that is pending legislation,

Barsky said the new bill pending
in the Central Council's Internal
Alfairs committee would limit the
value of prizes 10 $50, He explain:
ed, “With that amount of money

which chronically overspend. Bar-
sky said his first short-range pro-
posal would result in a five percent
budget decrease for all SA-funded
organizations during the second
semester, “Everybody could still
hold events,” but some events
would be held on a smaller scale
than usual, he said,

The reason for the budget freez
ing proposal, Barsky explained, is
that he'd “rather penalize in-
dividual groups which are causing
problems, than make everyone suf-
fer. Those groups which overspend

posal."

He said, “I don't like to cut. I'd
like {0 see everyone make their in

will not spend all their funds and
will offset. those which do overs

Lower sales bring financial problems to the Rat

By Jane Anderson
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Sales in the Rathskellar are down
‘rom last year, and UAS officials
ire attributing the loss in businnes
to the new drinking age. If these
trends continue, “we could have
some big financial problems at the
Rat,"” according to Norbert Zahm,
General Manager for UAS,

"Sales had been good" before
December 1982, but began falling
immediately after the drinking age
was raised, according to Zahm,

Ata UAS Board Meeting Friday,
he stated that sales in the Rat went
down 25 percent in December,
1982, when the drinking age was
raised, In September 1983, sales
were down 40 percent, he said.

“We're losing business, not
money," said Zahim, "The increase
in the drinking age has had a
negative effect on Rathskellar
business.”

Zahm estimates that 40 percent
2f the students living on-campus are
ander age 19, Pat Terenzini, Direc:
tor of Institutional Research,
estimated that about 36 percent, or
2,200 students, the majority of
which are new freshmen who live on
campus, are too young to drink,

Lester Hynes, director of campus
center food services, placed the
figures at over $0 percent,

“Freshmen are the most likely to
stay on campus to drink, They area
lot less mobile (than up-
perclassmen), and they don't know
Albany," said Zahm, The higher
drinking age has prohibited the ma-
jority of the freshmen from drink.
ing, he continued,

According to Zahm, part of the
problem could also: be that the
students are becoming bored with
“the same old Rat. We remodeled it
“our years ago, but we can't afford
to do that every year,"” he said.

“Classes also started later this
year," said Zahm, "‘and that could
affect our sales figures."”

Hynes said that students are go-
ing off-campus more these days
"Thursday is our best night, People
go off (campus) on Friday and
Saturday nights,”” he continued.

The Rat is currently undergoing
changes in its programming for Fri-
day and Saturday nights, according
to Hynes, “We're trying an open
mike night, and maybe comedians
or mime acts,"” he continued, some
of which will be implemented later
in the semester,

A. disco weekend was already

held, but, as compared to other
weekends, ‘attendance was down

htly'* during the disco event,
sald Hynes,

Zahm said he believes that the
drinking age will reach 21, ‘slowly
but surely."” According to Zahm,
“the Rat could not continue at the
present level of service” if the
drinking age is raised,

“We'll have less. programming,
and less personal service," said
Zahm, ‘Sales will go down even
further."*

There is a chance that the
SUNYA campus could be declared
dry if the drinking age is raised to
21, said Zahm, “That's a decision
for the college administration and
president to make,"" he added,

“If the campus goes dry, we'd
have to overhaul the pub," said
Hynes, “It could become a coffee
house-type thing, with non
alcoholic drinks ~a place for relaxa-
tion and entertainment," he con-
tinued,

Transcribing service proposed to aid students

‘By Aileen Brown

Help is on the way for those

iystem or a disruptive class

Under a trial proposal for the
spring of next year, a lecture
transcription service will be
available in certain courses which
fiave enrolled more than

The transcription service, pro-
posed by Ammanuensis Enter
prises, Ltd., a private company,
would with the prior permission of

certain courses, "These tapes will
be transcribed, proofread, cor

distributed to students who have
subscribed to this service,’” accor-
ding to Judith A. Ramaley, Vice
President of Academic Affairs, ina
memorandum to deans, chairs and
program directors,

proposal has already
generated controversy among the
faculty and administration;
however, a one semester trial with
faculty participation should in-
dicate to us if the service is
beneficial to the university oF not,”
At the beginning of

Ramaley said
We will be bet

the spring semeste

{er able to answer such questions as:

Is it intrusive? Did it affect atten-
dance? These are critical factors
which we will be watching,"
The program has also already
discussed and reviewed by the
administration and the
Undergraduate Academic Council
The response, Ramaley said, was
generally favorable, despite possible
drawbacks to the service, "I think It
1s a good idea that we try it, even
though there has been some
negative feedback," said Cathy
LaSusa, chairperson of the UAC,
Maybe some of the detriments can
be worked out,"
The service would provide some
obvious advantages to studenty in

ie prop

posed transcribing service would cost $30 per semester

several ways, First of all, it would
assist students in alleviating the
pressure 10 copy down every word
the professor utters, “If the pro-
fessor has taken the time to state a
fact in class, he must have thought
it was Important enough to
ccord,!? stated Rick Dalby, one of
he co-owners and originators of
Armmanuensis, “Having a verbatim
copy of the professor's lecture will
enable the students to listen and
concentrate in class instead of wor

transcriptions will allow
students to review the lectures
before the test," said Dalby,

Secondly, the service will “pro.
vide a transeript for students that

iss the class for legiti
reasons," according to Ramaley,
*'They will have the opportunity to.
review the transcripts instead of
having to borrow another student's,
hiotes, The service also his obvious
advantages for handicapped
students, They will have the oppor-
tunity o have a copy of the pro-
fessor's lecture without having to sit
and listen to tapes, This would
reduce their burden,

The service would also assist the
instructors in several ways, The
professors would be given a com
plimentory copy of the transcripts,
This would enable the professor to
haye a “written account of class

class
age Of a

ding to a report issued by the UA\

The professor would also have the

right to edit or clarify the

transcripts should an error appear,
During the review of Am

sis by the administration and the

courage a drop in attendance,
‘There has been concern yoiced by
certain faculty members that
Students might subscribe (0 the
transcription service and then not
ttend,!" Ramaley said, “This is @
very teal possibility,"

However, in the examples provid-
ed by Ammanuensis, transcription
services at SUNY Downstate

ical Schoo! and note-taking ser-

6 at the University of California
at Berkeley did not perceptibly af-

fect altendance, Students still have
0 attend lectures to hear the stress
placed on certain topics, the com-
pany contends, “There are two
Ways to Yearn,"' said LaSusa, “You
ean learn by reading, or by listening
and experiencing, The transcripts
fire like a textbook, You cannot see
what has been emphasized if you
id not attend the lecture,!?
Another objection to the service
which has been raised Is that the
subscription fee of $30 per class is
too high, ‘One of the key problems
that I can forsee is that the $30 per
course per semester might be an un-
fair burden to the students,
people aren't as economically ad-
vantaged as others,"” sald LaSusa,
“Ic might be an unfair advantage
for those who can afford the service
‘ver those who cannot, This would
make it inequitable for those
students who could not subscribe,”
There is a possibility, however, that
tudents who re nancial aid
could add these costs under texts.

Ammanuensis {5 also concerned
with the issue, according to Kate
yan Schaick, one of the originators
of the company. She said that a
ype of work-study would be
‘available to needy students, “We
are willing (0 hire a limited number
of students to help with distrib
jon," she said, “In return, these
students Would be provided with the

pls of their

01

Finally, the transcripts might
possibly be a hindrance to both
teachers and students in that it
might “cramp the individual's
teaching style, . .and shift the em-
phasis from traditional learning to
test-taking and exams,"” according
to the UAC report, Ammanuensis
position in this matter is that “We
hope the only changes the
transcripts will implement will be
improvements that will help and
enhance a professor's teaching
abilities, The norm should be
toward the students that don't have
the service. The professor should
not gear the course towards the
Students that do have the

scripts,"” said Dalby,

The service is scheduled for a
One-semester trial. during the spring
1984 semester. Further publicity

The ruling could help set a prece

After the Minnesota Daily

1979, the university's regents made

But last week the Bth Circuit

“We didn't pick up (funding for)

More Controversy. The song "Star Star’
(a.k.a, Starfucker) was banned from the alr-
waves in 1973, In 1976, a poster advertising
the Black and Blue album was rightly attack-

blacks because of Jagger's salicious reference
to what black girls want to do all night, anc

album is the video of the single "Undercover

Latin America, with Mick Jagger playing
both of the good guys, and Keith Richards

been banned in Europe |
Despite all this, the album, their 23rd, is
very good. As Exile on Main Street was a

EDITORIAL

| (elevision movie “The Day After'* was a media

event in Itself, This film has gone well beyond just
depicting the effects of a nuclear war, more Importantly, it
has aroused the public awareness,

With (he growing apathy evident on campus as well as
across the nation, it takes a major event for the citizens of
this country to become involved, Community action,
discussion, and involvement are at the core of our political
ideals. Hopefully this movie and the discussion surroun-
ding it has provoked people 10 educate themselves and to
establish a stand,

Once people have made a thoughtful assessment of the
Issue We hope they will get involved. While we stress the
need for action as a result of this event, il must be von-
sidered that one can not baxe his or her devisions on emo-
Honalism, As with any issue that appeals to the emotions.
We must be careful not to let these emotions interfere wilh

It is clear that ABC had the right to show this film

¢ political nature or not. By its
Very nature, the depicting of a world event such as nuclear
War will be political.

We are amused by the Right Wing's attempt to
prevent this important moyie from being shown, for thelr is
surely no law that prevents a network from presenting a
subjective piece of work, Furthermore, the issue surely
stands up under the First Amendment: Freedom of Expres-
sion,

‘The case for censoring this movie has been weak, Actual-
Iy, the only unfortunate aypect of showing the film at this
ime {s that it afred just & couple of weeks before the U.S.
deployment of missiles in Europe, Stl}, the clumsy attempt
{o denounce "The Day After'’ has completely backfired,
While trying to minimize the effects of the movie, objectors
Instead served as another means to further inflate the
show's ratings,

The strong viewing audience, 100 million people, must
have delighted the ABC executives. The possible political
repercussions of the event probably had little impact on the

prus - The tragic island

On November 16, “The New York Times’ announced on
ils front page that the Turkish Cypriots proclaimed a Na-
tion split from the Greeks, A partition of the island of
Cyprus was now a fact, What though, were the facts and
events that led 10 this tragic outeome for the small island,

[Artemis L. Artemiou

Antiquities, monayieriey and breathtaking scenery compile
the image of Cyprus, an image reyarded as 4 possession of
Bret value by the strategists and statesmen of both East
and West, Gustay Hirschfeld wrote at the end of the 19th
Cenury that he who would become and remain « great
power in thi 1, Must hold Cyprus in his hand, This fy evi-
dent from the history of the island which iy a major part of
the history of the Eastern Mediteranean, The Island's
Prehistory runs as far back ay the beyinning of the ih
millenium B.C. Early in the 2nd millenium B,C. the
Achiaen:Grecks established city kingdoms on the island,
based on the Mycenacan model and introduced the Greck
language, the Greck religion and the Greck way of life, The
Institution survived in eyprus until the time of the Romans,
‘Cyprus was well known to the ancients for {ts copper mines
and forests,

During the Sth century B.C., Athens played an impor-
Jant role in Cyprus cooperating with the main cities of the
Island, [cwas during this (ime that Evagoras of Salamis rose
1o power, a figure of world-wide radiance at the time,

On the partition,of the empire of Alexander the Great,
who finally tiberated the island from (he Persians, Cyprus
became one of the most significant parts of the empire of
the Ptolemans of Egypt, Later, It came under the dominion
‘of the Romans in $8 B.C, Both during the Ptolemies and
ater under the Romans, the Sancivary of Aphrodite at
Paphos was the center of the national, religious and
cultural life of the island, On division of the Roman Empire
in A.D, 330, it became a province of the Byzantine Empire.
From then on, Cyprus was to share the fortunes of the
Greek Orthodox world,

Thus, during the Crusading period, it was conquered by
Richard the Lionheart of England on his way to the Holy
Land,

Richard passed the island on to the Knights Templar and.
they in turn passed it to the Lusignans of France, who
established a kingdom based on the western feudal model.
The last Lusignan Queen was forced (0 pass her rights on to
the Republic of Venice, which ruled the island until 157)
when it was conquered by the Turks,

The Turkish period lasted until August 1960, when after
a four year liberation struggle by the Greeks of Cyprus,
who are 78 percent of the islands population, with 18 per-
cent Turkish Cypriots and 4 percent minorities, the island
became independent and was proclaimed a Republic, The
1960 Constitution of the Cyprus Republic proved un-
workable in many of {ts provisions and this made its
smooth implementation impossible, When in 1963 the
President of the Republic proposed some amendments to
facilitate the functioning of the State, the Turkish coms
munity responded with rebellion, In December 1963, the
Turkish Ministers withdrew from the cabinet and the
‘Turkish public servants ceased altending their offices, Ever

since then, the aim of the Turkish Cypriot leadership, a
Ling on instructions from the Turkish government, has been
the partitioning of Cyprus and annexation by Turkey. In
July-August of 1974 a coup was staged in Cyprus by the
Greek milliary junta, then in power, for the overthrow of

President Makurloy. Turkey used this pretext to launch an
invasion with a fully fledged army against defenseless
Cyprus, The invasion was carried out in (wo stages in which
Turkish troops eventually oveypicd 40 percent of the
island!s territory

Ankara (ried (0 justity the Invasion as a peace operation
dimed at restoring tte constitutional order distrubed by the
Coup, bul even after the restoration of such order and the
Telurn of President Makarioy to the island in December
1974, the Turkish (roops remained (o back up the plans of
Turkey {0 colonize Cyprus, as a first step to annexation,
Two hundred thousand Greek Cypriots, 40 percent of the
total Greek Cypriot population, were forced to leave their
homes in the occupied area and were turned into refugees,
The fev thousand Greek Cypriots that remained in their
homes after the completion of the Invasion, were gradually
forved, through Intimidation methods, to leave their homes
‘ind moye 10 the south, Now, only about ohe thousand
have remained in their homes in the north, mainly in the
Kurpiss area, Turkey is continuing the occupation of 40
percent of Cyprus territory in utter disregard of repeated
UN resolutions calling for the respect of the independence,
Sovereluinty and territorial Integrity of the Republic of
Cypriis, as well as the withdrawal ofall foreign troops from

Its territory and the adoption of all practical measure 10
repromote the effective Implementation of the relevant
resolutions,

This attitude of, Turkey, as well as the continuing viola
tion of the fundamental human righis of the people of
Cyprus have been condemned by international bodies, such
fas the UN General Assembly, the Non-Aligned Movement
and the Commonwealth and the Council of Europe. The
recently declassified report of the latter's Commission of
Human Rights reveals the extent of the atrocities commit:
ted by the Turkish forces of occupation

Several rounds of intercommunal talks between the
island's (wo main communities (Greeks and Turks) have
Hot led (0 any positive development, This fs due (0 the
Turkish side's intransigence and continuing effort to parti
tion the island by means of changing its demographic and
historic character by the implantation of colonists from the
Turkish mainland, of creating a separate Turkish economy
And of taking various practical measures towards this end
The most serious of these measures was the delearation of
the occupied part of Cyprus as an independent stale on
November 15, 1983. What is going to happen now, on the
island of Cyprus, is left to the politicians to decide. The
people of Cyrus just walt for the day when (he sin will rise
on the cities, the mountain and the land of their island.

Abuse of power

To the Editor:

1am a student at SUNY New Paltz, Recently 1 had the
Opporiuinity 10 spend some time in Albany while waiting for
a bus, 1 decided to visit the Stale Muscum in the
Rockefeller Plaza since this has always been a favorite stop
Of mine when I have the time. However, this time I had an
extremely disturbing experience. 1 am relaying this ex-
perience to you because | believe the student popula
should be aware of the uross injustice dealt to me by the
Capital Police, 1 believe my aye and appearance were major
factors in this situation, and for those reasons many of the
stuidents at SUNYA could be subjected (0 the same (ype of
harassment.

The incident occiirred between 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m
‘on Sunday, October 30, 1983. After visiting the muscum, 1
entered the public restroom Jocated near the museum, on
the Concourse level of the Plaza, After several minutes,
fiother peson entered, This person attempted to turn the
lock of the stall | occupied from the outside; however, 1
held it from the inside, The person then began to push the
door with his body. 1 placed my body against the door to
thwart this attempt, and I began to yell as loudly as teould,
However, the person on the outside had the advantage of
space to move: he was able (0 get a running start and soon
gained entrance to the stall

At this point, J expecied 10 be confronted with a mugger
and asked to turn over my cash, To my surprise and
dismay, | faced a police officer who hit me several times in
the head, He justified his actions with statements such as "1
though you were in here jerking off"? and "What were you
doing, playing with yourselt?"”

After several moments of this type of abuse, my initiat
fear turned to anger, It was only after 1 yelled that 1 had
been sick and had a nurse’s statement, that the officer paus~
ed, At that point, I demanded to be taken (o a superior, He
Jed me to a door that said Capital Police, He stepped on my
foot as we entered and informed me that he didn’t care
“what the hell!" 1 did

I spoke to another officer who seemed fairly unconcern-
ed, If not slightly amused, by the incident, He took my
name and birthdate and wrote them ona memo pad. As far
as I know, my complaint was not lozged in any type of per:
manent record, 1 was informed that 1 should come
back Monday if 1 wanted to pursue the matter, Since that
Was impossible, and since I had a bus to catch, I left angry,
frustrated, and humiliated,

In my confusion, I did not obtain the badge numbers of
either the officer who assaulted me or the officer (o whom |
complained, I did obtain the namie of the officer who struck
his last name is Donnelly

My complaints against Officer Donnelly are as follows

J, Before forcefully entering the stal}, he did not identify
himself as a police officer

2, He invaded the privacy of a locked bathrom stall

3, He was verbally abusive

4, He was physically abusive.

My complaints against the Capital Police are these:

1, was not given adequate information on the procedure
for filing a complaint,

2. 1 was confronted with a total lack of concern for
myself as an individual and for the situation as a whole,

It is my hope that the students at SUNYA can benefit
from my experience, If confronted with this (ype of situa
tion, be sure to get badge numbers and names and some
form of permanent record of your complaint, If you
already have been subjected to this type of abuse, at least
you know you are not alone.

Tam outraged that this type of behavior
power — can occur. 1 hope that some form of action can be

Technical problems

To the Editor:

1 would like (0 express my disappointment regarding the
movies shown on campus Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights,

1 must admit that the movie variety is very good and the
cost is unbeatable, Nevertheless, one would expect a ftir 10
high level of entertainment, Yet, every movie | have seen
this year has been delayed at least twenty minutes for one
Feason of another, Last night however, 1 experienced the
Worst (echnical errors ever. The movie Aruncis way schudut
ed for 8 p.m, By 8:50 they realized that the speakers were
ot hooked tip properly. Following this, only one projector
was working thus there way a short intermission in between
every reel, And, 10 top this off, the last recl was out oF
focus

1 find it hard to eriticize my peers who are working the
projectors, Perhaps it is due to poor training and not steer
incompetence, that there is a major inconvenience for the
patrons, Whatever the reason, it would be nice to be enter
tained properly. Lonly hope that this matter will be lodked
and rectified for future shows,

To the Editor:

Vid like 10 take this opportunity 10 respond 10 Cindy
Eisenbery’s letter of Tuesday, November 1S entitled “On
Feminism." Ms, Eisenberg brought up a number of pointy
Which Tam sure are shared by many Ia out society, These
points, however, need to be discussed more fully

First, it is really too bad that the mere mention of ley
bianism totally taints a person's perception of feminism or
any other type of political consciousness, 11 iy {ruc that ley
bianism and feminism aren’t necessarily synonymouy but
this does not exclude the work many fesbiany have done on
a, whole range oF issues from rape to abortion righly, 1 alyo
does riot exclude that lesbianism and lesbian rights iysties
fire al the forelront of the women's movement — even in
such organizations ay the National Organization for
Women (NOW),

Second, don't think my piece gaye the Impression that
all men are abusers but instead mace {clear that afd, men
have the privilege in this society to be abusers, Rane, incest

into

on

child sexual abuse, sesual harassment, back=street
Abortion, pornography and other forms of violence ayainyt
Women are institulionalized In oUF society — i society

Whose norms were established by men through the struc
lures of the patriarchy

Third and finally, lesbianism is fun, This sentiment needs
to be expressed ayain and again {0 counterael the notion
that itis sick, I guess heterosexuality iy fun (it never svay or
me), What isn't fun, however, is heterovexism — the no:
tion that heterosexuality is the norm and any other sexual
orientation is deviant, disgusting, sick, etc, This attitude
has hurt many lesbians and gay men over the yours and
nigeds {0 be stopped, 11 is helerosexism not heterosexuality 1

tires or deodorant, they're (the
media) all for it.”

Kendall said he doesn’t think a
nuclear war is likely, as long as the
U,S, Keeps a parity in nuclear
weapons with the Soviet Union,

‘The leftists, he sald, who wrote
and supported the movie ‘‘want to
see America fail, causing the
economy to fail, which will cause
social, internal revolution.”

Psychology Department Chair
Gordon Gallup said he thought the
movie was scary, but that the paren-
tal discretion advisory was for the
‘most part unnecessary. ‘'I don't
think it had any more blood and
gore than most things I've seen on
T.Y.," he explained,

Gallup noted that the absence of
traditional values was a realistic
portrayal of what a widespread
disaster could lead to, He cited, for
example, the scene where a man
returning to his home is shot after
asking some people what they were
doing there,

“'T think the reactions that it (the
movie) depicted were better than
the effects shown, ly) the
way people responded to terms of
the aftermath," Gallup sald,

Gary Hobbs, from the Univsersity

Counseling Center, advised
students to consider whether they
wanted to watch the movie, and
suggested that they avold watching

According to Rod Silver, Chalr-
man of SUNYA's Gay and Lesbian
Alliance, the University has had a
Aon-discrimination policy for three
years and the SUNY Board of
Trustees has just approved one to
go system-wide. “This order will

he said.

However, he said, ‘the order is a

Richard Radlo, another member
of the gay community, felt the
order was ‘'a very encouraging step
by the governor,'? Radio said he felt
‘one matter which should be impro
ed is the number of communit
members allowed on the task force.
“They should allow more members
of the community to sit in," he
said.

When asked if the delay in the
governor's announcement had any

was unfortunate in that it gave sure

|‘Day After’ responses

‘counseling session Monday morn-
ing for students who wanted to talk
about the impact of the movie,

Hobbs reported that a small
‘group of students showed up, most
‘expressing a ‘'sense of shock at the
magnitude of the problem and some
sense of dismay at how much peo-
ple didn’t know about government
and politics.””

He said that he reassured
students that their feelings were all
normal reactions to the movie,

In addition, said Hobbs, students
were reminded of other causes, such
as the civil rights movement that at
one time seemed hopeless,

‘Also, Hobbs noted, students
were encouraged to become more
informed on the Issue, and to
realize that the problem is ultimate-
ly solvable,

SUNYA ROTC member Bran-
don Fletcher sald he watched the
movie 'very seriously." The movie,
he explained, didn't show him
anything new, Fletcher said he op-
poses nuclear weapons, but believes
we need a strong convential army to
replace the need for nuclear
weapons

“If we have a strong enough con:
yential force, then the national
policy makers will never feel so
backed up into a corner that they
even haye to entertain the possibili-
ty of nuclear weapons," he
asserted,

The movie brought home an im
portant point, he said, ‘*We've got
to get rid of all nuclear weapons,"*
Fletcher explained, ‘‘until we do
there is no sense in trying to solve
any of the world's problems,"

‘many mainstream clergy felt that
these people do not represent a
jority."

Both Silver and Radio expressed
hope that this order will lead to the
passage of a gay and lesbian rights
law through the legislature, Silver
pointed out that Wisconsin passed.
the first gay rights bill and that
“hopefully, welll be the second,"*

According to Silver, the gay and
lesbian rights bill would follow the
guidelines of the state's affirmative
action stance which would prohibit
discrimination in such areas as
housing, Jobs, or education because
of race, creed, religion, or sexual
preference,

Radio cautioned that “we sill
have a lot of work to do" before a
bill can be passed, **We have to do
4 lot of lobbying and documenta

“perhaps the task force will help in

step because “a law is desperately

turkeys to Zen Buddhism

“Eating turkey!? was the typical answer to the almost ridiculous ques-

Some answers were not as straight forward, thus offering unusual twists
to basically traditfonal situations.

Yousef Hattar, a senior living uptown, said that he was going (o get

In order to become more involved in myself,"’ Hattar explained, ''I've
decided to get closer to universal Harmony by meditating for 10 hours a

‘With the impact of this report,
Taylor said that ‘‘all kinds of pro-
grams were killed off and the
money taken to fund research and
Ph,D,s, this got the university into
‘a lot of trouble, it was a stupid,
stupid move.’ Taylor maintained
that the process was still occurring,
Just not receiving any public atten-
tlon,

Taylor said this trend encourages
even more professors to spend time
In research, not in the classroom.
He continued by saying that ‘this
University should have its highest
priority undergraduate education,
not (as) the lowest priority,”

Taylor further noted that ‘not a
single top salary goes to teachers for
teaching,” and that the ad-
ministsators are the highest paid
members of SUNYA’s staff, This
Taylor sees as a major obstacle to
improving the faculty at SUNYA,

Taylor explained, ‘1 wanted to
alse a lot of these issues last year
but the President perfectly
understandably sald he was terribly
busy, and speak to the director of
undergraduate studies,"

He found that the directorate was
{part-time job in the Vice President
for Research's office, This year the
undergraduate studies directorship
is a position in the V.P. for
‘Academic Affairs office,

‘Taylor called for a Vice President "

for Undergraduate Studies to be ap-
pointed ‘that has real power and
some commitment to
undergraduate education,"”

Ramaley sald the university
follows the “seven year rule,” that
is, a tenure decision must be made
within a teacher's first seven years
fat an institution, The actual deci
sion whether or not to grant tenuri
is made in the sixth year to allow ¢
teacher time to find employment
elsewhere if not granted tenure,
Without tenure, a teacher can not
remain at an institution in the same
Position for more than seven years,

A tenure or promotion applicant
is first reviewed by a faculty review
board in each department, A
dossier containing research and
tecommendations is compiled and
after input from the departmen
chair the application is sent for ase
cond level of review,

The personnel committee of §
school or college adds to th

dossier, makes a recommendation,
‘and after itis reviewed by the dean
Of the school, the application is sent
toa third level of review.

SUNYA\s university-wide review
board is the Council on Promotion
nd Continuing Appointment,
which reports to the Vice President
for Academic Affairs, When they’
have made recommendations and
Additions to the dossier, the entire
Packet is sent to the University
President,

It is the President who makes the
final decision, and Ramaley pointed
Out that all levels of review act
simply as advisors to the President,

She also noted that at all levels of
the process the applicant has access:
to the dossier and results of each
teview.

Decisions are made according to
three criteria: original research or
scholarship teaching, and service to
the university and committee, ac-
cording to Ramaley,

Research and scholarship are

possibilities were being discussed,
including a more direct peer review
of course syllabi, tests, and possibly
attending classes taught by the ap-
plicant,

‘She noted that students and peers
evaluate different aspects of a
teacher’s perfomance. Students
evaluate the way in which a subject
{s taught, while peers can judge how
completely a subject is taught.

Service, which Ramaley said is
the least Important, is measured
chiefly by a list of services perform-
ed by the applicant for the universi-
ty and the community.

SUNYA President O'Leary
defended research being so much a
part of tenure and promotion deci-
sions by explaining that SUNYA is
@ university center and must
facilitate and demand research on
the part of every member of the
staff.

O'Leary did not see this as bad
for students, but rather as ex-
teremely beneficial because students
Were kept up to date on what was
happening in a field through their
professor's research,

O'Leary resonded to Taylor's call
for an Undergraduate Studies Vice
President by saying “there are
always some who want to separate
completely graduate and
undergraduate education, but that
can't be done, both are part of the

same university,"

Professors from different depart-
ments had varying responses to
Taylor's charges. Taylor prophesiz-
ed their reactions when he said
many of his peers would not agree
with him,

Professor Warren Roberts of the
History Department, said that he
believes ‘that scholarship is over-
whelmingly the most important
criterion” for making tenure and
promotion decisions. ‘Teaching is
given only token importance," he
added.

He continued by saying
“teaching should receive more
weight than it does’? but decisions
should not be made solely on
teaching ability,

Former Prof. Yu/shih Chen,
who Is suing SUNY because of the
ruling handed down on her tenure
decision, said simply ‘'in my ex-
perience... it doesn’t really matter,
they shift criteria around,””

While she stressed she was speak-
ing only for the College of
Humanities and Fine Arts, she said
“even if you have publications you
can be sacked, but it is hard to just
teach because your classroom work
depends on your research,

She said she agreed with Taylor
that original research was overrated
asa factor in making tenure promo-
tion decisions,

‘Communications Professor Alan
Chartock who teaches at both
SUNYA and SUNY-New Paltz,
said he believes that research and
teaching are supposed to be in a
balance throughout the SUNY
system, but that the balance is inter-

preted differently throughout the
system,

“My personal belief... is that our
basic mission is to educate students
and there is no way-to do that
without excellent teaching,’ Char-
tock sald,

Chartock’s solution to the pro-
blem is to ‘'keep research standards
but emphasize that research without
good teaching is insufficient for
tenure”?

Speaking of professors, he sald,
“they have to publish if that’s the
rule of the Univeristy and to be fair
to the students they have to be good
teachers,""

Professor Bruce Miroff of the
Political Science Department
agreed that “the charges that
teaching is not appreciated are
merited.” He sald the university has
not developed enough ways to
measure teaching abilities and that
“exceptional teaching should be
taken seriously and awarded,"”

Professor Richard Orville of the
Atmospheric Sciences Department,
discounted Taylor's charges, “At a
University center — the emphasis
on research is quite proper," he
said, He continued, ‘the most ac-
tive researcher is very often one of
your best teachers,’”

‘Students have an exceptional op-
portunity to learn from research
professors, he said, He finished by
saying that those without research
skills should not be at a university
center but at a college

Taylor cited a specific example of
a teacher forced out by the universi-
ty emphasis on research, political
selence professor Pete Cocks,

Cocks said he did not apply for
tenure because he didn’t want his
department to go through all the
hassle when there was only one con-
clusion likely, that is, tenure would
not be granted,

He will leave SUNYA after the
spring semester, secking a job in
either teaching or industry, depe
ding on what is available,

Cocks said that one of the
Teasons research is so important in
making tenure decisions is that that
requires relatively less work on the
part of administrators who are
“primarily concerned with getting a
better career for themselves,”

Taylor said Cocks had no chance
for tenure because he had not work-
ed on getting himself published,
‘The sad thing about Peter Cocks
is that while everyone realizes what
‘a great teacher he is, not a single ad-
ministrator would try to save him,"

Miroff said he knew of many fine
teachers who have left for the same
reason Cocks is leaving, “I think
it's an extraordinary tragedy for the
students of SUNY-Albany that the
University found no way to retain
Peter Cocks,'” he finished.

Ramaley said that "1 do know
from what I have heard that he is a
Well respected and well liked
teacher, an inspiring teacher."”

She said that nevertheless he
could not be granted tenure. ‘The
thing to keep in mind... is that at
this institution every faculty
member is expected to have a mix of
all three (research, teaching, ser-
vice) of these elements and that
there must be a certain minimum
level of original scholarship work

of being at a university center.’ She
suggests Cocks find a job at a col-
lege, where teaching by itself is 'the
main thing that happens,”*
