Board of Trustees announces new chancellor

Former Head of Oregon State University is picked from plethora of applicants

By JopI ACKERMAN ©
Staff Writer

A new chancellor, Thomas A. Bartlett,
was appointed on Tuesday by the State
University of New York Board of
Trustees at a special meeting held in New
York City.

Thomas A. Bartlett, 64, was chosen
from more than 150 nominees to become
the 11th chief executive of the 64—campus
university system.

“It is very clear from his background
that he’s evidently qualified,” Mike
Riley, from the Public Relations
Information Officeof SUNY Central,
said.

Bartlett, chancellor of Oregon State
University just prior to his newly appoint-
ed position, had to make tough decisions
“as bad or worse than New York,” said
Bill Weitz, a SUNYA graduate student
‘and member of the search committee.

According to the Times Union, Oregon
State System of Higher Education faced
problems of higher tuition and budget cuts
New York has had to face in recent years.
By 1990, Oregon’s tuition was raised by
58% and hundreds of jobs were eliminat-
ed. With Oregon State funding gone, cam-
puses were forced to close and program-
ming went to a chosen few.
“Experiencing this kind of hardship in the
educational system is crucial to New
York,” Weitz said.

According to Riley, Bartlett began his
professional career with the United
Nations serving as Advisor for Political
and Security Affairs. He then served as
chancellor at the American University of
Cairo. He also served as president of
Colgate University for eight years, and
from 1989 till July 1994 served as the
Chancellor of Oregon State University.

According to Riley, Bartlett declined to

Guardian Angel warns Jewish
students about complacency

By JEN MILLER
News Editor

Curtis Sliwa, host of a New York City
radio talk-show and founder of the
Guardian Angels, spoke Tuesday in LC 1.

Sliwa’s lecture, entitled ‘Ethnicity
in America, Be Proud of Who You
Are,’ was co-sponsored by the
Revisionist Zionist Alternative/Tagar and
the College Republicans.

Sliwa spoke for about 2 1/2 hours
before a crowd of approximately 200 stu-
dents.

Wearing his signature t-shirt and red

statements of his support for Conservative
and Republican gubernatorial candidate
George Pataki.

Although Sliwa began by describing the
“historic alliance of blacks and Jews,”
most of his lecture consisted of contrasting
the treatment of African—Americans and
Jews in the legal and political system.

Sliwa said when Yankel Rosenbaum, a
Hasidic student, was killed in a riot fol-
lowing the accidental killing of an
African—American child, “nobody took
you [Jewish people] seriously. The riot
wasn’t stopped for 72 hours.” He com-
pared this with the way the “black com-

by describing, the founding of his organi-

American youth was beaten to death by a

answer many questions. He said Bartlett
wanted, “to get into the job and learn a
lot,” before responding to specific ques-
tions about his new position.

While Riley could not directly respond
to the key factor which made Bartlett
stand out from the other nominees, he said
it was evident Bartlett, “has got the expe-
rience and background...He’s been num-
ber one wherever he’s gone,” Riley said.

“We think he has enthusiasm, good
vision, and he is good with people. If there
is a weakness, it will show up soon
enough,” Weitz said.

As a representative of the students,
Weitz spoke directly to Bartlett shortly
after he was appointed. They briefly dis-
cussed issues of diversity and student
development. .

Weitz said, “We are a premiere job for
chancellor. SUNY is the largest system in
the country. As poorly as we are perceived

in our own state, in other areas in the
country, we are seen as a remarkable sys-
tem.”

According to Weitz, Bartlett will not
only bring in a wealth of knowledge, but
he will also bring national attention to the
university system.

In a press release, Chairman of the
Board of Trustees Frederick V. Salerno —
said, “We are truly fortunate to have a
person of great experience, maturity, and
unbounded energy to head the State
University of New York.” He also
expressed his gratitude toward Provost
and Vice-Chancellor for Academic
Affairs Joseph C. Burke who has served
as interim chancellor sinceChancellor D.
Bruce Johnstone’s resignation.

The search for a new chancellor began
in March when Chancellor D. Bruce
Johnstone resigned for health reasons.

Bartlett will assume his position Dec. 1.

Carl Sagan visits campus

Renowned scientist discusses science and God

By DEREK BLOOMQUIST
Staff Writer

Carl Sagan, speaking at the RACC
Monday, gave a lecture which ostensi-
bly about science, but by the end of the
talk had described the many faces of
God, related a conversation he had with
the Dalai Lama, offered his view of the
future of space travel and explained the
relevance of Plato’s dialogues to modern
society.

News Feature

His talk began with a description of
how mankind has suffered through the
millennia from the erroneous belief that
the universe revolves around us. This,
according to Sagan, is an understandable
concept since the sun, moon and stars
appear to revolve around the earth.
Further, the celestial bodies of the sky
seem to exist in order to serve humanity.
The sun’s purpose appears to give
humans light and life and the. stars and
moon serve to mark the passing seasons
while the plants and animals are here to
provide humans with food and shelter.
Little wonder that humans developed
such self—centered notions sles cs our
place in the universe.

This geocentric thinking served humans
well until modern science began to dis-
cover “The Great Demotions.” The Great
Demotions, according to Sagan, include:
1. We revolve around the sun, rather than
the sun around the earth. 2. The stars do

not revolve around the earth, rather, their

apparent motion is due to the rotation of
the earth. 3 . The earth is not in the center
of the universe. In fact, the sun is not

even close to the “center” of the universe.

The earth is 30,000 light years from the
center. 4. Humans differ from animals
only in degree rather than in type. 5.
Humans are “Johnny come latelies” on
the galactic time scale since the human
species is only a few hundred thousand
years old while the solar system is 4.5 bil-
lion years old and the universe is. 15 bil-
lion years old. The earth is the “galactic
boondocks” and humans suffer from an
“egocentric psychosis” that they are
important. This causes a closemindedness
which hurts human progress in science.
Sagan described how Galileo was given
a tour of the instruments of torture in the
dungeons of the Catholic church to con-
vince him to change his scientific think-
ing to match the Bible’s geocentric view-

Bill proposes higher drinking age

By Paul A. Maggiotto
Albany (PINS) The final is

over. You’ve spent the past
three nights on potato-chips, cola
and No-Doz. As the ad says,
“It’s Miller Time,” or maybe
Schlitz, or Molson, or “Bud.”
Perhaps a shot of Jack Daniels
is your way to get “sloppy
drunk.” But if legislation intro-
duced by Assemblyman Melvin
N. Zimmer (D-Syracuse) is
passed, 18-20 olds in New York
State won’t be allowed to drink.
Zimmer said there are two
main reasons to raise the drink-
ing age to 21. The first is the
increasing number of alcohol
related fatalities in the 18-20
year-old age bracket. The sec-
ond is a result of what sociolo-
gists call the “trickle down”
effect whereby alcohol is obtain-
able to 14 and 15 year olds from
their 18 year old friends. It is

believed by some sociologists
this has contributed significantly
to the teenage alcohol abuse
problem.

To support his legislation,
Zimmer points to a study done
by the Michigan State Police. It
compared statistics for 1971
when the drinking age there was
21, and for 1976 when it was 18.

The study found that while the
number of 18-20 year-old
drivers increased only 9 percent,

alcohol related fatalities for that |

age group increased 132 percent.
Personal injury and property
damage accidents rose 217 per-
cent. But for the “over 21”
group, the rate involved in alco-
hol related accidents increased at
the same pace as the driving.

“Quite frankly,” said Zimmer,
“we want the 18-20 year olds to
nveiove 21.” << *-

According to Zimmer, socio-
logical studies have shown that

when the drinking age is 21,
alcohol will “trickle down” to
18, 19 and 20 year olds but not
nearly as much to the 14-17 age
crowd. He believes this bill
would eliminate many of the
problems of teen—age alcohol
abuse.

bit.’ - Scallon said there are- basic
behavioral and social problems
which lead teen-agers to drink in
the first place.

“Frankly speaking,” said
Scallon speaking for himself,

“we can’t enforce the laws now.”

He said a nationwide study
claims the chances of being
picked up while drunken driving
are 1 out of 1400.

Though this may be a step in
the right direction he said, “I
don’t think this is the answer

we’re looking for.”

The high incidence of “under
21” drivers involved in drunken
driving fatalities is not specific
to Michigan. The National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration reports “in 1977
more than 47,000 people were
killed in motor vehicle accidents.
Of these 9 percent involved

Poet makes unusual
visual presentation

Central Council debates election regulations

By KEVIN DEVALK
Staff Writer

By SusAN CRAINE
Associate News Editor

Poet Robert Grenier read from his work on
Monday as part of the Visiting Writers Series, spon-
sored by the New York State Writers Institute, which
is celebrating its 10th anniversary. _

Dan Byrd, a professor of English, described
Grenier's poetry as something going beyond reading,
calling for the complete involvement of the reader.

“Grenier’s poetry doesn’t seem like writing, but an
involvement for both the artist and the audience,”
Byrd said.

Grenier’s program consisted of a slide show of

pictures taken by himself and friend Ken Botto. The
photos were originally meant to document text
Greiner had been working on while in Minnesota.
However, as the work progressed Grenier realized
some of the work would not be able to be transposed
to a type—written page, and said he liked visuals bet-
ter than the actual written word.
“T feel visual shapes are more open to interpreta-
tions. The voice puts a certain stamp on it...I see a
landscape the same as actual text, and the world as a
text itself,” Grenier said.

Grenier’s latest work, What I Believe, is photo-
copied sections of the slide show. This allows the
reader to see the complete work, including Grenier’s
handwriting and various drawings Greiner drew
while writing.

According to Greiner because the amount of text is
so great and would be extremely expensive to pub-
lish completely as a book, he is considering having
the work turned into a CD-ROM program.

Another work by Greiner, Sentences is also not
published in conventional form. The work consists
of 500 5” x 8” index cards each consisting of a few
words, with no specific way of reading these sen-
tences.

Greiner’s presentation was the first one after the
death of Thomas Smith, a SUNYA professor here at
who was considered a key part in the Writer’s
Institute. Don Byrd described Smith as the heart and
soul of the institute.

“A vacancy that has been opened will never be
completely filled.” Byrd said.

Four bills dealing with the elimina-
tion of the requirement that insists stu-
dents get tax stickers before voting, a
proposal to make the Campus Center
the only voting location in the next
election, a movement to appoint a
committee chairperson, and a move-
ment to remove four Central Council
members for attendance reasons, were
presented Wednesday at Central
Council.

Three of the four bills were passed,
however the attempt to make the
Campus center the only polling loca-
tion failed and a proposal to open up
student workout rooms on two quads
was not on the floor.

The attempt to make Campus
Center the one and only polling site
was brought about due to concerns of
fairness in voting. Student complaints
of that polling sites on the quads not
being open when they should be, and
complaints of ballot stuffing and other
foul play were the reasons the bill was
proposed.

Student Association President Cliff
Lent said, “I support one polling
place...I think you'll see much less

cheating at one polling place.”

Backers of the bill also said
that it was a temporary experi-
ment that would expire on Oct.
21. It was not intended to be
used for next spring’s election.

Voter turnout, however, was
a widely-addressed issue. As
one speaker said to the mem-
bers, “I think there are fresh-
men and upper-class students
who don’t know where the SA
lounge is.”

Central Council member
Tom Keller was also not impressed.
He said, “It seems like the problem is
getting the commissioner to go out
and hire help...There are restrictions
and they are too harsh. Why not look
at what other colleges are doing?
Some colleges use e—mail. Why can’t
we use voting machines? I think the
move for one central location is a dan-
gerous one and should be struck
down.”

Central Council also decided unan-
imously to change the section of their
constitution that requires presentation
of a tax sticker when students go to
vote. The policy will now read that
photo identification will be all that is
needed.

A request for funding for student
workout rooms was brought about by

Dr. Milt Richards, director of
Athletics. Richards said students
were complaining the facilities in the
Physical Education building were not
open enough due to the fact that they
need to be shared with classes and
teams.

He proposed to move some existing
Nautilus equipment into two quads
and purchase new equipment to
replace it. He said that the new cen-
ters could be opened and staffed for
ten hours a day, where now students
only have four hours worth of free use
in the Physical Education center.

The cost for this project was esti-

On Tuesday, the Office of Parking
Management hopes to open a new vis-
itors' pay lot next to Indian Quad. The
lot had previously been a subscription
lot, with parking places assigned by
lottery, but according to Kathleen
Wakeman, Director of the Office, the
spaces were chronically under-uti-
lized.

“The lot will be open to anyone,”
said Wakeman. “We hope to accom-
modate the needs of an increasing
population of one-day parkers and
make the lot self—supporting.”

Student to compete in international karate meet

By JEN MILLER
News Editor

On Sunday, Jesse Cowell, a 21—year—
old senior at SUNYA, will compete in the
“Ultimate Challenge,” an international
karate tournament. The contest draws
hundreds of competitors from around the
world and involves “knock-down” con-
tests without pads, in which a fighter must
be knocked down for at least 3 seconds in
order for victory to be declared. To win
the $1,000 prize, a fighter must lose no
fights and must win over four competi-
tors.

A communications major and film
minor, Cowell fights in a style of karate
known as “World Oyama,” a highly
aggressive type of fighting, which permits
kicks to the head and punching, kneeing

The style originated in Japan, where
some fighters live in its schools and train
fulltime. Its headquarters, however, is in
Manhattan.

Cowell is unusual as a fighter because
of his flexibility, (“I like to kick people in
the head,”) his relative youth and his
weight. Cowell weighs “at the most” 135

Cowell has traveled around the United
States and to Europe to compete.

His training, for the last six years, has
included summer camp, at which he was
beaten with bamboo sticks hard enough to
make him bleed, and a black belt contest,
involving being punched, elbowed and
kicked by fifteen black belt Oyama fight-
ers until he fell down.

However, he
says he learned to
be a fighter by,
among other things,
playing video

dates fighters weighing up to 155 pounds
and according to Cowell, “all the others
are 155 on the dot.” However, he says, he
is rarely frightened in a fight. “What can
they do to me? They really can’t kill me.
Either way, you limp home. Even if you
win, you limp home.
But it sucks if you
have to go to class
the next day.”
Although he
started learning judo
when he was five,
Cowell did not start
training in Oyama
until he was 15. The
founder, known as
Soshu or ‘Grand
Highest Master,’ of
the World Oyama
Karate Organization,
is now his personal
teacher. The school
has 30,000 students.

games, (“I was one of ‘those boys’ in the
Campus Center,”) which trained him to
make split-second decisions, and by fight-
ing with his older brother..“He got me
strong because he was so much stronger.
When I was little, we used to wrestle for 3
hours straight. And I never cried. Once,
he invited his friends over and said,
“Watch how my brother doesn't cry.’”

The skill helped him in karate,. because
in a tournament, a fighter who shows any
sign of pain, such as wincing or turning
his face aside, is penalized. Cowell shows
anger in a fight, because, he says, “it’s
intimidating,” but reveals no other feeling.

Cowell says he doesn’t like to fight off
the mat, has rarely done so and considers
himself “anti-violence,” He does not
regard Oyama as being particularly vio-
lent. “It’s not violent for me, it’s just a
game. If it’s not fun, why play it? I think
some. audience members are the sickest
people out there, they’re the ones there for
the violence. It’s just like any other sport,

some people are there for the technique,
others are there for the violence. There are
a lot of bad stereotypes about the martial
arts. People who take martial arts are not
killers.”

In the contest, he says, “I’m not trying
to kill you and you’re not trying to kill
me. It’s not a fight, it’s like we’re play-
ing. We could scream and pummel in a
fight and afterwards come up and give a
guy a hug. We don’t consider it like we’re
doing something to hurt.”

Cowell says film is “my real
love...where I want to make my mark.”
He says he wants to make films “with
intelligence,” and that he “would never
make a karate movie.”

Sometimes, he says, he doesn’t know
what keeps him fighting. “Really,” he
says,” what good is it being able to kick
people? But it’s exciting. It’s a rush. And I
want to be the best.”

He describes himself as a “compulsive
gambler, with pool, air hockey, fighting”
and sees a connection between making
movies and fighting in the “risk-taking.”

Another connection is the creative
aspect. “You have to exploit what makes
you special. It’s the greatest thing in a
fight. The fighter has to be able to create
things, to not be stuck to conventional
things, to not be trapped— to just feel it
and go with it.”

Jesse Cowell will be at the World
Oyama Karate’s Ultimate Challenge on
October 9 at the Westchester County
Center. at 6 p.m. Tickets are available
through Ticketmaster. . -

The one-woman show “Big Butt Girls,
Hard—Headed Women” was performed by
Rhodessa Jones with musical accompani-
ment by Idris Ackamoor Tuesday at Page
Hall on the downtown campus.

The show focused on the lives of a few
incarcerated women Jones became
acquainted with when she taught aerobics
in the San Francisco Correctional
System. During the course of the perfor-
mance, Jones used her experience as an
actress, singer, dancer and writer to nar-
rate the stories of her students. Her moti-
vation for the creation of this piece stems
from the women themselves. All of her
characters are minority women which
represent the majority of incarcerated
women. Jones said she feels this problem
is one not only of the women themselves
but of the community to which they

belong.

Jones wrote this piece for a Women in
Theater Festival and it was so successful,
the San Francisco jail officials
approached Jones about initiating a the-
ater program in the jails. The Medea
Project was the result of that request. The
project includes Jones working with the
female inmates on different theater shows
in which the inmates perform their own
stories. She said she feels that this project
aids the women in understanding why
they committed their crimes.

Energy saving grant approved by Cuomo

A $765,800 grant was awarded to SUNY
Albany for the installation of high-efficiency
lighting and electric motors. The grant, announced
by Governor Mario M. Cuomo will save the uni-
versity $444,500 in energy costs annually.

Cuomo stated, “By investing in energy efficien-
cy, these institutions can spend more of their valu-
able resources on students.” The grant was one of
fifteen grants awarded to fifteen different schools,
colleges, universities and hospitals across New
York State by the State Energy Office’s
Institutional Conservation Program (ICP).

Forty-five applications for grants were submit-
ted and those applications were ranked competi-

tively by criteria including energy savings, ener-
gy—cost payback and environmental benefits.

When commenting on the grant project, the
State Energy Commissioner Francis J. Murray, Jr.,
said, “ These projects are another example of why
New York is first among states when it comes to
energy efficiency. |

Through programs like the ICP, the State helps
schools, hospitals, not—for—profits, homeowners
and businesses invest in projects that will produce
long-term energy savings, preserve valuable
resources and improve the equality of our envi-
ronment.”

Men need to be involved in sexual assault prevention

The women around us live an
experience that many men have
not taken the time to acknowl-
edge or understand. For many of
the women we know, vigilance
is a way of life. Why? Sexual
RAT eet assault. Whether it

Middle is stranger rape or
Earth acquaintance rape
Roots women have had

to protect them-
selves, have had to keep them-
selves safe. The answer to the
problem should not be merely
providing women with protec-
tion or self-defense courses. The
answer to the problem must
include reducing the incidence

of sexual assaults. And that is
fundamentally a men’s problem.
Men must begin by acknowl-
edging that it is men who rape. It
then becomes obvious that it is
men who must end rape. We can
accomplish this in many ways.
The following is a list of guide-
lines for men to do our share of
sexual assault prevention:
1) First and foremost, never
force a woman to have sex,
under any circumstance. Even
verbal pressure can feel intense
and threatening to the woman
receiving it. If you feel the need
to use verbal pressure or coer-
cion, then you are most likely

with someone who does not
want to have sex at that time.
End of story.

2) Stay sober. When you’re high

or drunk, your ability to make
clear decisions is clouded, and
you may engage in coercive or
threatening behavior.

3) Don’t buy into the myth that a
woman who is drunk “deserves”
to be raped. On this campus and
in New York State law, having
sex with someone who is intoxi-
cated or passed out can be rape.
If you think the woman likes
you, she’ll like you just as much
when she’s sober.

4) Don’t confuse “scoring” with

having a successful sexual
encounter. You can have sex
with hundreds of women and
still not be having “good sex.”

5) “No” means “No.” Don’t
assume that you know what a
woman wants. If you feel you’re
getting a mixed message, then
ask her to clarify. If she doesn’t
know what she wants, then it’s
safer, for both of you, to back
off.

6) Don’t equate masculinity or
manhood with “scoring.” Men
often feel pressure by other men
to be sexually active. Being a
man is about thinking for your-
self.

7) Don’t “join in” if friends
invite you to participate in sexu-
al behavior as a group. This is
called gang rape. You should try
to stop the assault or call the
police.
8) Communicate with other men
about sex, dating, and acquain-
tance rape. Tell them how you
feel about their behavior or atti-
tudes towards women. It is
unfortunately true that many
men suffer because of the
aggressive and thoughtless
behavior of a few. Get involved
rather than silently condoning
behavior that you find objection-
able.
9) Be aware that rape does affect
men’s lives. It is very likely that
you know or will know a woman
who has been sexually assaulted.
It is important to understand that
a woman who has been sexually
assaulted may need time before
engaging in sex or a relationship,
or may find it difficult to trust us.
This is a normal reaction to such
a traumatizing experience.
Finally, for those of you who
wish to take an active role in
sexual assault prevention, join A
Few Good Men. We’re a group
of University men working
proactively, with other men, to
prevent sexual assault. Come to

New Grateful Dead book shows what a long strange trip it’s been

(CPS) Who could have known
there were so many of them? Or
that their subculture was so well-
defined and their network so vast
that it has been estimated there’s
at least one in every family?

Deadheads.

They’re everywhere, of all
ages and backgrounds, but with a
common interest in the music of
the Grateful Dead, according to
David Shenk and _ Steve
Silberman. The two, longtime
Dead fans recently co-authored
“Skeleton Key: A Dictionary for
Deadheads,” (Doubleday,
$14.95) the first book that
attempts to examine in detail the
phenomenon of the Grateful
Dead and their following—388
pages of it, ranging from concert
behavior to insider slang and tes-
timonials from people whose
lives were influenced by the
long-lived rock ‘n’ roll group.

_ In so doing, the book also
gives insight into the counter-
culture of the past 30 years, as
well as the Dead’s broad influ-
ence on mainstream culture.
There is, after all, a popular fla-
vor of ice cream named for lead
guitarist Jerry Garcia (Ben &
Jerry’s “Cherry Garcia”), and
Garcia’s line of neckties
designed for corporate types who
just can’t resist a nod to their
rebellious youth.

Not to mention the legacy of
tens of thousands of fans span-
ning three generations who have
attended shows and celebrated
“the scene,” as Deadheads affec-
tionately call it.

Last year, the Grateful Dead
was the top grossing concert act,
according to “Performance”
magazine. The Dead’s large and
intensely loyal following bought
1.6 million tickets to a total of 78
shows for box-office gross
receipts of nearly $44.5 million,
stated the concert trade journal.

Among other things, “Skeleton
Key” talks about the eerie cir-
cumstances of the band’s nam-
ing, each band members’ history
and personal and collective con-
tributions and the importance of
every song and album that’s been
produced over the years. In
short, everything you wanted to
know about the Grateful Dead

but were too uptight, man, to get
down and ask.

“The real question for me is,
“Why didn’t someone else write
this years ago?” said Shenk, a
New York based writer, musician
and former producer for National
Public Radio. “The Deadhead
community is so full of rich his-
tory, lore, flavorful language,
colorful dress, spirituality and
terrific humor—it was crying out
to be documented.”

Shenk and Silberman-broadly
define Deadheadism as a social
movement comprised of people
who are fans (in varying
degrees) of the music produced
by the long-lived rock ‘n’ roll

band. That encompasses every-

one from the hard-core faithful °

who deck out in tie-dyed cos-
tumes and follow the band from
concert to concert in flower-dec-
orated mini-vans to the casual at-
home listener, musical greats
such as Elvis Costello, and yes,
even the wife of Vice President
Al Gore, Tipper, described as a
“major tourhead-waiting-to-hap-
pen.”

The book tries to explain the
mystique that surrounds the
band, which has been touring for
three decades. In the book,
author Joseph Campbell,
renowned for his work in
archetypal mythology, calls the

Deadheads “the most recently
developed tribe on the planet.”

“T imagine that Dead-impaired
persons who hear a Dead-bite on
TV or see Cherry Garcia in the
cooler at the market and hear
about people hitchhiking 3,000
miles to see that guy with the
beard play his guitar, must occa-
sionally ask themselves, ‘What’s
it all about?” said Silberman, a
San Francisco-based writer.
“Deadheads are like gay people:
everyone has a brother or a
daughter or a niece or an aunt or
a cousin who is one. What are all
those Deadheads doing? Our
book can at least begin to
explain.”

Moving into dorms perfect scenario for professor

(CPS) Living in the dorms is probably the
furthest thing away from life with Mom
and Dad.

Not yet burdened by the bill—splitting,
kitchen—cleaning responsibilities of
off-campus apartment life, students in
residence halls get to sleep late, play their
music loud and be as messy as they want,
usually under the minimal supervision of
aresident assistant.

But students living in Wyckoff-
Cosmopolitan Hall at Hope College aren’t
like most other dorm dwellers. Living in
the corner on the first floor of their build-
ing is one of the school’s history profes-
sors and his wife.

Although the living arrangements may
seem strange to other students and faculty
members, all parties involved in this

unlikely situation insist the union is a per-
fect match.

While most college professors probably
wouldn’t object to hanging out with their
students after class every once in a while,
few would choose to live with students,
night and day. But for Harvey
Blankespoor and his wife Marlene, who
constantly had students over to their home
in the past, moving into the dorms seemed
like a perfect scenario.

With their son and daughter out college
and on their own, the Blankespoors found
themselves with more room than they
needed. After discussing the move with
Richard Frost, Hope College’s dean of
students, the couple put their five—bed-
room house up for sale and moved into
the two-bedroom apartment tucked away

Vote early, vote often

With the U.S. military going all over the globe
| to establish free and fair democratic elections,
perhaps we need them to come to Albany. Not
for the gubernatorial elections, but for the ones
held by the Student Association. _

It is no secret past elections have been the
subject of some debate, both before and after the
voting. Protested elections, multiple voting,
electioneering near the polling place, and any
other entries on the laundry list of how to run a
bad election has happened here.

Wednesday night at Central Council, members
of SA’s executive branch tried to change how
elections are held. What they favored was having
a central polling place instead of the present
system, with a polling place on each quad. The
reason being, it’s difficult for one election
commissioner to monitor several polling places
by himself/herself.

Central Council voted the change down with
most of the members arguing a central polling
place would make an already low voter turn out
even lower. Central Council does have a point. If
students don’t vote when the polling places are
on the way to the dining halls, why would they
walk over to the Campus Center to vote?

The executive branch maintains it would be
easier to monitor for election violations if there
was only one polling place.

Though both sides have valid points, Council
definitely has an interest in maintaining the
present voting system. A look at the past central
council elections will find a very slim margin of
victory for many of the positions. Combine this
with how easy it is to vote several times and you
have a formula for getting elected. Nominate
yourself and if several people vote a couple of
times, you have a seat on Central Council. Not
that anyone would accuse council members of
doing this, but the opportunity to do so is
certainly there.

One important fact to mention is the proposal
would only have been an experiment. This
proposal basically admitted there have been
problems with elections in the past, so we should
try and find a way to do it better. The proposal, at
least in theory, seems like it would cut down on
election violations, so why not try it?

If it didn’t work, it was at least an attempt to
rectify the current problem and in the future, SA
can use it to improve the system.

A central polling location may lower voter
turnout, but with turnout as low as it is now, how
much could it be cut? Voters for local elections
certainly have to go further to vote, and with
most students on the podium to go to classes, a
trip to the campus center isn’t that far.

Money could be saved by not having people
man the polling places on each quad, or using
those people to generate interest in the election
through posting and other means.

We hope Central Council’s decision to vote
down this proposal is not an example of what we
have seen in the past: The legislative branch
saying “no” just because it can, while letting a
seemingly viable idea fall by the wayside.

So far this year, the respective branches in SA
have demonstrated an adequate, if not amiable,
relationship in dealing with each other.

Hopefully, this week’s vote is not a sign this]

relationship is corroding, as it has in the past, to
the point where students who had business with
SA were frustrated by the constant bickering that
went on in Campus Center 375.

MEXICAN POLITICA,

Apartheid displacement here

Takes one to know one. One can make a strong enough
case for the “altruism” of USA’s role in helping to bring
about an end to apartheid in South Africa.

The most prosperous country in the world somehow fit
this awkwardly “western” country into its agenda. But
why? How were we able to see the injustices of their
institutionalized racism? Simply because we have it in

our own backyards.

Keum-Yun Rochelle Lee

Admittedly, there are more than a few similarities
between the country somewhere out there in the southern
hemisphere and the one right here. Recent attention to
the health crisis in this nation has brought enough
attention to the embarrassing fact South Africa is the only
other industrialized nation in the world without a national
health care system.

Is universal health care another inalienable right?
Congress certainly did not think so. They killed the bill to
give needed medical service to their own constituents.

_ When Jonas Salk discovered penicillin, he did not do it

just for the affluent, those who can afford the “luxury” of
the drug. I believe he would have liked it to benefit all of
mankind.

The stark difference in the life expectancy of the white
American and the black American is astounding. This is
directly related to the variance in the quality of medical

- care the two groups receive. The superior health care the

haves in this country can buy stands in direct contrast to
the service or no service afforded the unemployed or the
under employed persons by our government.

It is not only the impoverished underclass of the inner-
cities who have to cope with the bureaucracy and
impersonality of the maze of a system called Medicaid.
Americans without health care insurance. is estimated to
be about one third. This inequality and blatant violation
of human rights serves to perpetuate the current divisions
and boundaries in our society.

Clearly, unhealthy individuals are unable to meet their
full potentials in life. Denying opportunity to persons not
born into privilege is what this establishment is doing.
They are made to do without what should be a basic right
of life.

South Africa, a phoenix of a nation struggling to build
viable institutions out of the ashes of its past history of
hatred, is the only confederate the US government has in
its refusal to provide its citizenry with a most
fundamental right. Perhaps that is how the images of
shantytowns in a faraway land most Americans couldn’t
place on the map found their way here, becoming deeply
ingrained in our consciousness through full-color page
spreads in weekly magazines.

When I think of doctors in America, I am reminded of
a true story my Uncle Thor told me years ago. During the
Great Depression, Uncle Thor came down with an illness
no white doctor he went to could diagnose. After being
incorrectly diagnosed by over half a dozen doctors, he
was referred to a black doctor. This doctor was able to
diagnose his condition, tuberculosis, only after the
briefest examination.

He was immediately hospitalized after the visit. The
irony of the story is, his doctor was not allowed in the
white hospital he was admitted to because of the color of

his skin.

As apartheid once served to legitimize the wrongs of
South Africa’s superstructures and infrastuctures,
America’s institutions are facing the growing crisis
apparent in our systems. Identifying and confronting the
problems, the first steps in combating racism and
prejudice, have not been put in motion.

As multiculturalism and pluralism are hailed on the
pages of vague and ambiguous documents such as the
Just Community we have on this campus, racial
discrimination and segregation becomes more
crystallized in our neighborhoods and classrooms.

This year marked the golden anniversary of the battle to
integrate America’s public schools. In South Carolina’s
Brown County, a focal point of the movement, I saw
nothing had changed but the laws; ones everyone had
found ways to circumvent. After fifty years, the town was
probably as segregated as it ever was, by informal
agreements, and clandestine and overt acts of
discrimination. White parents sent their children to the
local private and parochial schools while the black
students continued to get an inferior level of education in
the public schools.

Futile efforts are being made to integrate South Africa’s
schools. Members of the white minority are purchasing
properties and homes abroad and sending their children
to the schools there. This exodus is well documented. The
black South African students can’t have integration if
there are no white students left in the country.

Apartheid may have been written away in the history
books, but it continues to haunt the present and will
hinder future progress. Hopefully, the reforms taking
place will work. We can only pray they don’t make the
same mistakes our lawmakers have.

The Thirteenth Amendment abolished formal slavery in
the US. Sadly, public policy since those days have only
helped to create new checks to retard the advancement of
blacks in this nation. The obvious bondage of the dignity
of men is the crippling shortage of opportunities. The oft
unbroken shackles of racial discrimination can be seen in
residential segregation.

The state of public housing in the US only mirrors the
institutionalized discrimination found in other areas of
society. Funds earmarked for building low income
housing are often wasted or get misappropriated to other
projects. The result is insufficient, substandard housing.

Middle class black families with the capital to purchase
homes in the better suburbs are not shown them by the

. real estate agents and brokers. How many times in the

past have homeowners said to themselves, “Here goes the
whole neighborhood,” when one black family moves in
the area? :

In the US, whites are still the majority. Social scientists
have calculated the down to the year they predict this will
no longer become the case. The minorities are not
counting the days until they become the majority.

Without a drastic change of course we are marching
straight towards full apartheid in America in the 21st
century. There are no obvious solutions. It is in the
interest of all Americans to avoid the forthcoming ills.
How can this atavistic reversion to the past be prevented?
Just as South Africa finds it difficult to find ways to
restructure, the answers to our problems will not be easily
had.

ASPing For Trouble

Are they kidding? Stallone and Sharon "I can do more than take off
my clothes...like...touch myself?" Stone in a movie together? Who is
making these films, I mean flicks. The trash that has been coming out
lately is just getting out of hand. The sad thing is I'm sure people will
be going to see these things. It's just like in the video store when I
overhear some store worker telling some woman "have you seen
Mickey Rourke's new movie? It's awesome!" and the silly little lady

i aa & rents it! In—-credible.
Coolio 9 : A louse | eos oe four My only salvation is Pulp Fiction, the new film by the man who
It Takes A Thief “ee Same As it Ever Wos tine Four directed Reservoir Dogs and wrote True Romance (disproving my
theory that Christian Slater induces nausea more easily than a night

of Jagermeister and Aerosmith videos), Quentin Tarantino. If Martin
Scorcese has Orson Welles, Anita Baker has Billie Holliday, and Ricki
Lake has Oprah, then I have Quentin.

I’m not implying I will be a brilliant filmmaker, but it is good to
know there is someone out there who understands the humor in
cutting a man’s ear off (Reservoir Dogs), the intrinsic value of casting
guys like Bronson Pinchot and John Travolta, and who is able to

make films about things other than big exploding stuff and guys like
Charlie Sheen getting laid.

Having role models is really hard = guys like me these days.
Women are gaining power, socially, politically, and economically. But
it seems like men are getting dumber and dumber. Really, who do
guys like myself have to look up to. Shall I run through the choices?

In the political forum, we have Bill Clinton. What can one say

about Clinton that hasn’t been said? The thing about Clinton is the
things he does aren’t so bad, he’s just so dumb for getting caught. It’s
just like in high school when my mom would tell me “yeah, you can
cut gym class, just don’t get in trouble for it,” which I invariably
would, pissing her off. Clinton is the same way! Smoke your dope,
get your rocks off, but if you’re so dumb as to not be able to do it

Tim Robbins Stars In A Shaw Thing

Are you pondering what to do in
your leisure time? You don’t feel like
getting smashed, and you’re not in
the mood to study, but you can’t bear
the thought of being cooped up in
your room? Well, I’ve got a
wonderful suggestion for you. Go see
The Shawshank Redemption starring Tim
Robbins and Morgan Freeman.

Alana J. Sanford

Paula Andrews

This film quickly changes moods
when Steve, after psychoanalysis, is
diagnosed as having been emotionally
abused by his father. Al, in an attempt
to make all the money he can, takes
quite a paternal role, telling Steve
when he can eat, sleep, and go
out-only accelerating the clock on the
emotional timebomb inside Steve.

As a baseball movie The Scout fails,
and as a movie about relationships it’s
even worse.

The much anticipated ending came
as no surprise and I was definitely
ready to leave. I can’t say the film was
completely without high points; Tony
Bennett made two splendid
appearances. As for a rating I give it a
6, C, or 2 1/2 stars, take your pick.

Robbins stars as Andy Dufresne, a
banker convicted of murdering his
wife, and her lover. Freeman, a two
time Academy Award nominee,
plays Red, a prisoner serving a life
sentence, who befriends Andy at
Shawshank State Prison in Maine.

his movie is an example of true
excellence in filmmaking.

Written and directed beautifully,
by Frank Darabont, The Shawshank
Redemption is an adaptation of
Stephen King’s novella, “Rita
Hayworth and the Shawshank
Redemption,” included in Different
Seasons, his 1982 bestseller which also
included “Stand By Me” as part of
the book.

6’ 5” actor Tim Robbins, whose
credits include Bull Durham and The
Player, is remarkable as an
intellectual, driven man who never
gives up hope. He shows Red, a
good-natured, resourceful individual,
serving life in the maximum security

penitentiary, no matter what the
circumstances you are faced with,
you must never stop hoping.

his movie is much more than the
story of one man’s survival, or even
just of the special friendship between
Andy and Red. The Shawshank
Redemption makes clear the reality of
being a prisoner. It explores the
dehumanization, humiliation, and
abuse that the prisoners experience.
It also addresses the fear of prisoners
who are released after forty or fifty
years of incarceration, of surviving
on.the “outside.”

to recognize the superb performances

single Gun Theory Flows Up To Albany

Single Gun Theory’s “Flow, River Of
My Soul” moves smoothly without any
rough edges. Jacqui Hunt's perfor-
mance is one of talent and beauty.
Despite their hard work and effort,
SGT sounds a bit similar to Enigma but
this should not discourage you from
listening to this sweet sounding, stress
relieving album.

Andrea Leszczynski

The lyrics seem a bit peculiar (“This
altar to despair...this chalice of anguish
I am...can you bear to sip this holy
water?...can you bear one droplet of
my wine?”) but each have some sort of
special, mysterious meaning.

SGT’s debut album wasn’t too popu-
lar in their native Australia and was
only available as an import. Their sec-
ond album, however, picked up more
notoriety. A few songs were cast in
movie soundtracks and television
shows. The weird humor of it all, is
that in the beginning, SGT was more
known in North America rather than in
their home country of Australia. As for
Europe, Jacqui Hunt humorously
states “We still need to touch Europe,
yeah, Europe still needs to be
touched.”

When I first listened to “Flow”, I felt
the sensation of floating above the
clouds on a bright and sunny day,

cal haze...falling around me...

without a care in the world. Jacqui’s

soft, whispery voice has a certain illu- |
minating brightness to it which is }

soothing to the delicate eardrums.

SGT uses key samples said by certain
people like Rod Sterling from “The
Twilight Zone,” Pope John 23rd before
his death in 1963, and an Apollo 8
astronaut. Also additional samples of
female voices from different parts of
the world are used in a few songs. The
reason for the use of foreign samples is
Pete’s love of travel. —

The best songs on this album are
“Decimated” and “Metaphysical.”
“Decimated” is a short song describing

the aftermath of the horrific bombing |

of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. “A chemi-
it’s a
bright sunset...on this day...so deci-
mated...” This little ditty starts off
with cool maracas and the intoxicating
sound of the xylophone. You can hear
soft bongo beats way in the back-
ground. Air raid sirens blast through
the background toward the end of the
song, bringing you back to a time of
war and death.

“Metaphysical” also recaHs the
bombing. However, it starts off slow,
like a ballad, and then kicks off with an
Erasure—like beat. Once it picks up, it is
much more danceable than the other
tracks on the album. Voices fading and
birds chirping end this melodious
piece.

I asked band member Pete Carnac,
recently in an interview, why they
emphasized the bombing in their
music. He replied, “[Even though] the
Cold War is over, with tiny countries

like Cambodia buying nuclear

weapons, [it] still poses as a threat [to
world security].

Kath Power and Pete were neighbors
and knew each since they were five
years old. They met Jacqui-in a club
where she was performing with her
own band. Kath and Pete were so
taken in by Jacqui’s performance that
they asked her to be their lead singer
for the band they were forming. Jacqui
says “I liked what they were doing,
they were different,” and SGT was

Tosstetscathlaws Echo at Skidmore

THE TOASTERS ARE A BAND FROM NEW
York City that has been playing for 10+
years, have released upwards of 5
albums, and have been central to the
“ska” scene in NYC. Ska music is origi-
nally the R&B flavored jazz-hop of 60’s
Jamaica that came before reggae—kinda

like a fast reggae with horny horns and

a dance gusto.

Noah Wildman

The Toasters follow the tradition of
English 2Tone. bands (Madness,
Specials, the English Beat) who revived
ska music with a punk, rock and
humorous edge. The Scofflaws, another
age-old NYC ska band, plays ska with
an emphasis on party soul and large
honking horns.

On October 1, the Toasters and the
Scofflaws played Saratoga’s Skidmore
College, but you probably wouldn’t
have known it. Advertising was a
non-entity, tickets were ten dollars
(more if you. paid through
Ticketmaster). The audience was made
up of equal parts Skidmore students,
in-the-know travelers from Albany and
beyond, and a totally unnecessary huge
security force of Skidmore students in
cheesy “Octoberfest” t-shirts who felt
it necessary to stand in riot formation
in front of the stage despite the lack of
any moshing, slamming, fights,
evil-lookin’ people and large pushy
crowds. And this does not even include
the ample uniformed security guards
roaming around.

The Scofflaws delivered a satisfying

set, but they were missing the recently
departed key boards and baritone sax
(the biiig one) that anchored the bass
and rhythm. A borrowed alto from the
Toasters did not help, and despite their
best honking classics—“Ska-La-Carte,”

“William Shatner” and “Rudy’s Back” -

the sound was faltering, if not the ener-
gy. The crowd ate them up, and got off
on the general nuttiness and the soul-
vibes of “Ska Jerk” (a Bob Marley song,
which is actually Marley trying to
cover Junior Walker’s old chestnut,
“Shotgun”).

The crowd came to see the Toasters,
and the Toasters gave a lengthy 90
minute set running through their
whole catalog. Despite the (relatively)
small turn out, they were obviously
ecstatic to be there; a private
school like Skidmore can certain-
ly pay enough to make it worth
their time. The ska came fast and
steady, through numbers like the
swingy “Direction” and the balls-
out “East Side Beat.” More than
once, hordes of young college
women flooded out onto the
stage to give a good bounce
around, to the amusement of the
band and stage-front oglers (hey| ©
dude, I was hanging by the mer-]_
chandise table, I’m a sensitive
modern man!) The crowd danced
and danced, and they didn’t even
mimic full contact sports like you
see on MTV’s Alternative Nation.
The crowd cheered for an encore
and got one, and the fortunate
bunch who saw the show damn
well felt like they got their

money’s worth.

The event was held in the Skidmore
Fieldhouse, which swamped the band,
swamped the crowd, and gave an
impersonal feel and echoey sound to
the proceedings. A big-time lighting rig
and raised center-stage amplified the
effect of a 1/3 full house huddling
around the platform. Unfortunately for

bands like the Toasters, a club like

Bogies just barely cut it, because it gets
so crowded and fans sometimes end up
being turned away. On the other hand,
places like Saratoga Winners and the
Skidmore Fieldhouse are just too big
for the draw. Either the Toasters have
to get bigger, or the Capitol Region has
to get smaller. Either way, the Toasters
are band that’s nuttin’ to fug wit!

formed.

When asked about the origin of the
name, Single Gun Theory, Jacqui told
me that it was taken from an old movie
guide. Single Gun Theory was among

- along list of names that they voted on.

She said coming up with an original
name was one of the hardest things
they had to do.

As a band Jacqui says one of their
most memorable experiences has been
touring with Sarah McLachlan. “The
last show we did with Sarah was prob-
ably the most memorable because the
crew tended to pull lots of pranks on
the band...we got a little nervous
because we didn’t know what they

WELL, IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. YOU

might be thinking to yourself “What
happened again?” I'll tell you what:
Sub Pop has released another excel-
lént album. The record label known
for giving Nirvana their big break
with Bleach and releasing bands
such as Soundgarden and Velocity
Girl, has continued the greatness
with Sebadoh’s latest album
Bakesale.

DIJON

The band is Lou Barlow on guitar
and vocals, Jason Loewenstein on
bass and vocals and finally Bob Fay
on the skins. Sebadoh all started
while Lou was still playing bass for
Dinosaur (which later became
Dinosaur Jr.). He got together with
Eric Gaffney, the original drummer -
guitarist, and started playing gigs
and recording under the name of
Sentridoh. After recording a couple
of more songs, Eric changed the
name to Sebadoh. Lou was then
kicked out of Dinosaur and he put
his full effort into Sebadoh. After
they decided they needed another
member, they picked up Jason for
the drums.

After releasing a bunch of seven
inches on the Homestead label , they
went into the studio for their first
electric studio effort and released
Sebadoh III. In early 1992, they
signed to Sub Pop and right away

dada takes the highway to SUNYland

dada are one of the many bands
playing Saturday’s Fallfest. They are
heading to SUNY just two weeks after
the release of their second album,
American Highway Flower, and will
tour the rest of America, headlining
dates in late October.

Kevin Varley

I spoke to Joie Calio, bassist /vocal-
ist for the band, Tuesday night as he
watched the monstrous waves
whipped up from the earthquake in
Japan, pound the beach outside of his
ocean-front home in California. It was
overcast; it had actually rained in L.A.
the night before.

We talked about the upcoming gig

Jeffrey Gaines: Dazed But

“IT am _ probably a political
singer/songwriter” says Jeffrey
Gaines, a performer at this year’s
Fallfest. Gaines, whose folk-rock style
has been described as
“chameleon-like" arrived in 1992
with a self-titled debut album com-
prised mainly of lyrically sensitive
songs which he took on the road,
playing solo and acoustic for two
years.

Jason Black

A few months ago Gaines returned
with Somewhat Slightly Dazed, a hard-
er, louder album of equally personal
songs about subjects as diverse as his
mother’s death, learning about the
goodness in one’s self, and improving

and the band’s rehearsals for the tour.
He spoke with relative ease for a man
whose house was under imminent
attack from a tsunami.

First he told me that the trio had
been rehearsing this past week with a
second guitarist.

“Normally, we would do it all by
ourselves, but Mike (Gurley, vocal-
ist/guitarist) has got a slight tendini-
tis problem, so he’s kinda day to day.
So to lighten the load, we’ve got
another guitar player who'll help out
a little bit. It’s a temporary thing,
we'll just see how it goes.”

“But,” he added, “I think he’s
gonna surprise himself. Once you get
on stage you don’t feel pain.”

This should give, at least a little,
consolation to fans of the guitarist,

the state of the world. About the
change of style, Gaines says on his
debut release he thought “This is the
first record, maybe the only record.
Maybe all that will be important at
the end of it is what I’ve said to peo-
ple. So let me pull off all these guitars
that I’ve put on, all these other vocals
I’ve put on. Just have it be person to
person. It did seem to work and if it
did then I’m not trying to catch that
dream anymore. I’m trying to catch a
new one.”

Consistancy on the new record is
the generosity Gaines bestowes on his
listeners. On “Safety In Self,” written
about his mother’s death a year ago,
Gaines sings “I know this loss was
intended for let us all begin. And to
give up now would be a sin. We can’t
fall down, we’ve got to keep march-

SINGLE GUN THEORY

Continued from page 4a

were gonna do next...” she starts
laughing “...mess with the mic, or
even throw custard on us. [It was]
harmless, but fun.” Pete added
“They’re basically coming to see
Sarah, but last night we were on our
own. It was great—people were really

_getting into it—we had a foot-

a”

stomping encore.” He especially
liked the fact that people would come
up to them and say “I’ve never heard
of you,guys before, but I really
enjoyed it.”

Pete, who is in charge of sampling
and rhythm, stated mixing some jazz
or even going acoustic on the next
album is an option. “[The music is]
not premeditated, it just happens—we
just write—what comes out, come
out. The rhythm, the music, especially
the lyrics, show the personalities of
each member. Whatever comes to
mind, shows through their melodies.”
He wanted to use a sample of
Stravinsky’s “Petruszka” on one of
the tracks. It, unfortunately, got
rejected on the account that
Stravinsky did not want any of his
music to become commercialized.

A video for their latest single off of
“Flow”’—"Fall’”—might be shown on
MTV’s Alternative Nation some time in
the near future. Pete described the
scenario of the video. “I’m in a coffin,
Jac and Kath are beside me,
levitating.” “There’s kind of a lot of
weird shit in it basically.” There is a
scene in the video which looks like a
little girl is hanging herself, but she
really isn’t. At the last minute, they
snipped that scene out because MTV

believed it wasn’t suitable for its

- viewers.

Pete gave some advice for all bands
struggling to get to the top. “Just do
it-don’t copy. anyone else’s style,
don’t listen to what anyone else says
if you really believe in what you are
doing-—just do it!”

After I hung up the phone, I know
this may sound strange, but I felt
little bit closer to these complete
strangers. They were very polite and
enthusiastic about the interview. As I
said before, take a chance on Single
Gun Theory and if you don’t want to
take my word for it, check them out
for yourself at this weekend’s Fallfest

in bands since he was 13 and has
developed into a first-rate songwriter.

“Music’s all about your heart, your
spine, and your soul. That’s the
beauty of it. It’s unexplainable.”

Indeed, much of the work on
“American Highway Flower” is
unexplainable. The moodiness and
general ambiance of the record run
far beyond the explainations.

“You know, when I was 16 or 17,
kinda at the height of my stonerdom. —
I read something that stuck with
me:'There are no losers in the rock-n-
roll business, only winners and
quitters.’ That was it, man!”

He never has quit. He and Gurley
have been part of the L.A. scene since
1986, but it only came together for the
two when they recruited drummer
Phil Leavitt. Their duo—harmony
vocals, supurb songwriting, and
general musicianship garnished a fair

amount of attention within the rock
community. —

“Alternative” fans may recall their
1992 hit, “Dizz Knee Land” which
sparked nationwide interest and led
to an 18-—month tour of...well, the
world. “We’ve been to 47 of the 50
states, toured Europe with Sting,
opened for Depeche Mode in
Portugal we’ve done it all,” explained
the affable bassist.

“Sting was really cool. His guitar
player would play with us sometimes
when we headlined our,own shows in
Europe. We all became good friends.”

I told him that the RACC might not
be as glamorous as some of the past
venues he’s played at. He laughed, “I
guess I better be prepared. Believe
me, I’ve played many a gym in my
day.”

JEFFREY GAINES

Continued from page 5a

I’m black.”

Gaines freely admits he has only
reached marginally successful sales.
While others might find that
disappointing, to a certain dgree
Gaines sees it as a reliever of pressure.
“T think at those levels you have some
pressure because you’ve invited the
masses, but I ‘ve invited the intimate
and there are people on my side that
are extremely accepting of me. It’s just
a cozy spot to be in.”

For right now, Gaines “just puts out
records and there’s enough people
that'll go out and get them to keep me
an okay guy at the record company.”

A loyal fan base is enough to keep
him happy, as he figures “as long as
people keep coming to the shows,
something’s going right.”

VIE WIPOINT

There are no rebels in the University. I propose that it
is a logical impossibility for a student to be truly,
alternative. To rebel is to take the path least trodden, and
the path of the standard student “rebel” is beaten to a
muddy froth by thousands of unlaced Timberland boots.

Derek Bloomquist

In fact, to be alternative in college is to put on
camouflage, blending into the surroundings in which
breaking the traditional rules of society is the norm.
Does it matter that you thumb your nose at your parent’s
dress code when everyone is doing it? Vomiting outside
The Long Branch is not an effective mode of creating
change, it is not unique, it is not Alternative. I don’t
criticize the above behavior, I simply point out that is the
norm rather than alternative, conformity rather than
rebellion.

Entertain an image of the student life. After escaping
the confines of life at home the freshman is ready to cut
loose and experiences a feeling of escape, and a great
weight is lifted. Suddenly there are choices to be made
which were not previously available; drugs, sex, all night
rap sessions, classes about the wrongs of society,
philosophy and etc. They feel like rebelling, and they are
initially.

The problem is these are all accepted components of
the institution. I claim they are accepted because they are
allowed. Behavior which is not acceptable outside of
college is tacitly accepted within the bounds of
University life. :

Those we are rebelling against consider this an
ephemeral stage which we will outgrow. So what kind of
rebellion is it where the institutions which we rebel
against accept our behavior?

Standard forms of rebellion can be a starting point for
future self—expression but are not the real thing because
they are pre-packaged. They are someone else’s used

clothes. We must not settle for saccharine, but demand
the real thing, which is likely fattening, and involves risk
and passage into the unknown. We must let our freedom
mature from rebellion which is symbolic to that which
creates action, and simultaneously step beyond the
bounds of acceptability to become genuinely alternative.

The action doesn’t have to be dramatic, it could simply
involve voting after careful research, or writing a letter
to the editor or a congressman. It could involve not
going out drinking if you do too much or going drinking
if you are a teetotaler.

Alternative is when you are at an event and you see
grad students and professors present or the reverse if you
are a grad student. If you are white and only blacks are
present, if you are old and only young are present. If you
are uncomfortable because it is unknown, then it is
“alternative.”

If you get arrested and you haven’t hurt anyone
directly or indirectly it is “alternative.” Society gives you
a scantron, with a set of pre—chosen alternatives, check
none of the above, set your paper down and walk out.

This topic is of critical importance for the graduating
seniors who will now be urged to conform to their next
environment. There is danger if we believe we have gone
through our rebellious stage and have grown out of it.
We have had a brief taste, which was quickly replaced
with a placebo.

The net lesson we learn is the cozy, dangerous feeling
of conformity. College teaches us the length of our rope,
which, if we are not careful, we will take with us into our
post—college life. We have been told that there is a real
world out there and we are expected to party hardy, get it
out of our system so we can “take our place in society”
when we get out.

And this is what we will do, in droves, like lemmings
to the sea; thousands upon thousands of educated young
men and women putting aside their grunge and putting
on ties and suits. It’s easy to do since it is just one

camouflage replaced by another. We will embrace the
commute, the office politics and our parents’ political
party with our now comfortable apathy, which we
learned so well in the University when rebellion rather
than materialism was cool.

We will do this because we are already developing a
desire to have lots of stuff, preferably those which can be

operated by remote control. We will toss out.our

youthful ideals for the American Dream with the cynical
send off, “time to face reality kid!”

If you learned anything in college it should be a
healthy skepticism, especially when there is money
involved. The dream we have been handed is not our
own construction. Television, that demon of demons,
assails us night and day from our birth with the mantra
of materialistic desire for obvious profit reasons.

Nothing new here, it is just that the results on our
lifestyle is so severe. Quality of living is not just how
much you own but how much you have time to use it. To
support the habit of two cars, house, dog, Nerf
everything and a garage to put it in, we sacrifice our
precious time. |

We sacrifice time to care for our children; to actually
participate in local and national democracy; to stay in
shape and to exercise our precious freedoms. Time,
which we could, would and should use to be ourselves,
to be “alternative” is spent otherwise. Although there are
no actual bonds holding us down, we are self—bound and
gagged, convinced that we are happy.My friends, don’t
accept any substitutes for true freedom. While you are in
college truly explore yourself and the world with all the
resources at your fingertips. When you get out, look at
the American Dream with the healthy skepticism of a
freethinker.

And as a final, (possibly low) blow, if you think I am
wrong, if you think there is no danger in your future
conformity to your next societal position, just look at
your parents, they thought they were rebels too.

LE TWTMRS TO Welle le DITOR

TAP Pataki

To the Editor:

I was glad to see one of my fellow
students show some concern about. the
upcoming election for governor. The
problem I found in Joseph Buccino’s
letter to the editor last week was that
much like the person he is strongly
supporting for governor, he gave no
specifics as to what Pataki will mean to
me and my brother and sister students of
SUNY.

I have had to do some reading and
research to help me decide who I am
going to vote for on election day. In doing
so, I have come up with some facts that
shed light on what George Pataki means
for me and my fellow SUNY students.

Shock is the word I would use when I
discovered that since 1989, Pataki has
voted against over $2.9 billion in funding
for the Tuition Assistance Program
(TAP).

Pataki also voted against state budgets
that have provided more than $1.3 billion
for capital construction at SUNY
campuses and approximately $200
million for the same on the needy SUNY
community college campuses. Those were
votes against the students of SUNY and
all the jobs that these projects are going to
create.

Another incomprehensible vote by
Pataki was cast just a couple of months
ago in the 1994-1995 state budget, when
he voted against funding for $50 million
for Liberty Scholarships. How on earth
does George Pataki think most young
people are going to achieve an education?

Noteworthy movements such as
election reform go a long way in bringing
students and “twentysomethings” closer
to the political process. Pataki, to my
dismay, has consistently voted against
efforts at election reform, including
numerous bills that would have made it
easier for college students to enfranchise
themselves.

George Pataki cannot rhetorically run
away from these facts because these votes

are on record. Additionally, I am
concerned by the 100% rating he received
from Reverend Pat Robertson’s radical
right Christian Coalition, as well as his
alliance with Change NY, the right-wing
fiscal group. Change NY has advocated
means testing for CUNY and SUNY
students which would triple tuition for
many students.

Before I read Joseph Buccino’s letter I
was not sure whom I was going to
support. The letter served as a catalyst in
my decision-making process. With the
process complete, my thoughts on this
election have become crystal clear: Do I
want my education to remain on the path
of Cuomo, who has kept higher education
costs well within reason, or do I watch it
fall prey to the quasi-elitist ideologies and
proven lack of concern that monopolize
the thinking of George Pataki?

Thanks Joe for helping me make my
decision. On November 8, I’ll put the
balance of my education in the hands of
Governor Mario Cuomo.

Dan Minnock

Tranquil seas

To the Editor:

“The war is open until Israel ceases to
exist and until the last Jew in the world is
eliminated.” This quote was provided by
Hamas, the Islamic’ Resistance
Movement. Hamas has the support of
40% of Gaza and West Bank Arabs.
Being that the one year anniversary of the
Israeli-PLO peace accord just rolled
around, I believe it is important to re-
affirm RZA/Tagar’s viewpoint in this
most significant step in history.

It is the opinion of RZA that this so-
called peace treaty is an insult to any self-
respecting Jew. When Prime Minister
Rabin and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres
decided to “auction” off the minute
amount of Israeli land to any Arab within
sight, a grave mistake was made.

For those not familiar with the points of
the original peace accord, I will briefly
summarize it in one sentence: If Israel

gives up its land, the grateful and
appreciative PLO and its leader, Yasser
Arafat, will promise peace to all Israeli
citizens, or then to be PALESTINIAN
citizens.

Wasn’t Yasser Arafat the one who was
deemed a terrorist by American citizens
and government? Now, it seems as if
every politician wants to shake this man’s
hand, and with a smile, too! RZA and
many other self-respecting Jews feel this
TERRORIST and his organization has too
much innocent blood on their hands.

So, there it began. Palestinian rule was
set up in the Gaza Strip, and the town of
Jericho in Judea Samaria. This was
supposed to be a trial of some sorts. The
generous Labor party was prepared to
give away more land.

Well, the land was unfortunately given,
but was the peace there? Most certainly
not. Since the signing at Washington on
September 13, 1993 to April 20, 1994,
Arafat’s arm of the PLO, Fatah, has
committed 38 terrorist attacks against
Israelis. The number of Israelis that have
been killed within this time space was up
to 60 and has since steadily increased.

Since the end of last semester, Rabin
and Peres have signed treaties with Jordan
over Judea Samaria, and are engaged in
talks with the Syrian government over the
controversial Golan Heights.

The Palestinians claim they want their
land back; what was once. called
Palestine. If this is what they really want,
why have they not demanded land from
Jordan, where over 70% of Palestine was
located? If land was that important to
them, why don’t they ask their Arab
neighbors in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan,
Egypt, and the other remaining 21 Arab
countries for part of their 5,935,196
square miles instead of Israel’s 7,992
square miles?

As mentioned before, the Golan
Heights has managed to make top stories

in all media these past few weeks. Rabin
and Peres are at it again, desperately

trying to gain a “peace” with Syria in
exchange for a withdrawal from the
Golan.

ee a ee

For some reason, outside pressure may
have finally sunk in the heads of Rabin
and Peres. They have refused to withdraw
immediately all of the Golani inhabitants
and the Israeli Defense Force.

This has angered the Syrians and has
been a dead-end of some sorts between
the two nations. Syria’s leaders are not
that dumb, though. Realizing that in 1996,
when the elections roll around, the Labor
Party might lose to a more sensible party,
Syria might take Rabin’s proposal. If
Israel loses the Golan Heights, Israel, as
the world knows it, will change and quite
possibly perish.

The Golan is a territory 3000 feet above
sea level, giving whatever army sitting
there total control of the northern part of
Israel, thus explaining Syria’s great
hunger for this vital land. Equally
important, the Golan controls Israel’s
water supply, as supplied by the Jordan
River.

What all of this means is simple. Israel
must keep its land. I, just as much as any
Jew, want peace in the Middle East.
Giving away important land to secure
peace from known terrorists will lead
Israel to its destruction. Once again, I and
the rest of RZA, want peace, but we don’t
want piece! °

New college graduates face better job market and slight increase in pay

(CPS) New college graduates
had more job opportunities than
last year, but their starting
salaries rose only slightly, a
College Placement Council sur-
vey has found. — -

The hiring of new college
graduates was up from or even to
last year’s hiring, according to
the September 1994 issue of the
“CPC Salary Survey.”

While an improving economy
was credited for the increase in
hiring, low inflation rates contin-
ue to keep most increases in
starting salaries at a minimum,
said Dawn Oberman, director of
employment for CPC.

So what majors fared the best?

* Job candidates in most busi-
ness disciplines posted respect-
able gains in their starting salary
offers.

Accounting graduates earned a
3.2 percent increase and now
average $28,372, while business
administration graduates saw

cent to $25,102.
e Engineering graduates con-

tinue to face stiff competition for .

jobs in the manufacturing sector,
which translates into starting
salaries that remained at last
year’s levels.

Civil engineers received 2 per-
cent higher salary offers, averag-
ing $29,809, and industrial engi-
neers’ average offer rose 1 per-
cent for an average of $33,267.
Mechanical engineering gradu-
ates saw offers rise 1.7 percent to
$35,051.

¢« Computer science graduates
ended the year with a 1.4 percent
increase in their starting salary
offers for an average of $31,783.

¢ For humanities and social
science graduates, most salary
increases were slight. For, exam-
ple, starting salary offers

increased less than 1 percent for
foreign language graduates and
English graduates, and were
down by less than +1 percent for

psychology graduates. Starting
salary offers averaged $24,369
for political science graduates
and $20,488 for psychology
graduates.

¢ Starting salaries for gradu-
ates in most healthcare fields
rose significantly. The exception
was for nursing graduates, who
saw their average starting salary
offer fall for the second consecu-
tive year. Starting salary offers to
nursing graduates drops 7.9 per-
cent this year for an average of
$28,594.

e At the master’s degree level,

MBA graduates enjoyed higher

starting salaries. MBA graduates ©

with non technical undergraduate
degrees and no previous work
experience received 6.2 percent
higher starting salary offers for
an average of $38,792.Their
inexperienced technical counter-
parts received 8.6 percent higher
starting salary offers averaging
$44,527. The largest increase
was garnered by MBA graduates
with non technical undergraduate
degrees and two to four years of
work experience. Their average
starting salary offer jumped 10.6

‘percent this year to $54,255.

While hiring increased this
year, fewer employers are com-
ing to campus to recruit for
available positions, said
Oberman. Instead, most career
service offices receive job
notices through fax, phone and
mailings.

The September 1994 “CPC
Salary Survey” contains infor-
mation received from 378 career
services offices from the period
of Sept. 1993 to Aug. 1994.

Athlete continues to compete despite severing foot

(CPS) At a standstill, he is con-
spicuous.

His severed left leg is socketed
into a metal pole mounted on a
false foot. The football players
passing by North Carolina
State’s Derr Track on the way to
practice stop and look. A lot of
people stop and look.

At half speed, he begins to
blend in.

His left leg kicks up with an

unnatural hop off the track sur-
face. His right leg compensates.

But at full speed, he becomes
whole.

The velocity makes him incog-
nito. His stride is smooth and
natural. His legs are a whirlwind
of energy, their features blurred.

. Now Brian Frasure is com-
plete again, looking no different
than the athletes he sought to
compete with before losing his
leg to a streak

of over-com-
petitiveness.

On the night
of: Sepr.3F.
1992, Frasure

was running faster than a loco-
motive when he made a move
that nearly cost him his life. He
and his suitemates in Bragaw
Hall had taken up a new sport:
see who could hop the most
trains in a semester.

Train-hopping worked this
way: The idea was to run-at the
same speed alongside a car’s lad-
der. The runner would grab on,
still keeping pace with the train,
and then pull himself up.

Frasure was on the tracks that
bisect NC State’s campus, sprint-
ing faster than the train. He
slowed down to let a ladder
catch up, and he grabbed the lad-

der without accelerating to
match the train.

“As soon as I grabbed on to
the ladder, it jerked me straight
down,” Frasure says. “I flipped,
and when I flipped, my feet came
across the track”

“T was lying on the prep bed in
the hospital when the doctor told
me they were going to have to
amputate my left foot,” Frasure
says.

In late July of this year,
Frasure was in Berlin, competing
against world-class athletes in
the javelin and the 200-meter-
dash. He set a personal best of
26.31 seconds in that event.

Earlier that month in
Baltimore, Frasure struck gold in
both the 200-meters and javelin.
His throw of 45.45 meters set a

- National Handicap Sports Meet

record. He also won the bronze
in the 100-meter dash.

Frasure’s prosthetist, Capital
Prosthetics and Orthotics’ Dave
Patridge, knew that Frasure was
an athlete before the accident
and wanted to help him stay
active in intramurals.

But he went one better.

Last winter, Patridge encour-
aged Frasure to check out an
amputee’s sports clinic in San
Antonio, Texas. There, Frasure
met Dennis Oehler, a right-foot
amputee who once held the 100-
meter world record in his class.
Frasure says Oehler got him
“really involved with the para-
lympics.”

At the same time, Capital
Prosthetics was learning the new
technology behind athletes’ pros-
theses. Frasure was fitted with a
high-tech carbon graphite pros-
thetic for his competition sprint-
ing about three months ago.

Frasure feels that he would not
be competing at the world level
had the accident not occurred.

“T can’t really say how I would
have done before,” Frasure says.
“But at the same time, I don’t
think I’d be competing at the
level I’m competing at now had
it not been for that experience.”

SLIWA

Continued from front page
course of the law. But when
Yankel Rosenbaum was killed
everyone delayed, ignored and
denied. It was made palatable to
violate Jewish rights.”

Sliwa focused on what he
described as the “street smarts”
of the African-American com-
munity and the relative weakness
of the Jewish community. He
emphasized what he described as
Jews’ reluctance to defend them-
selves against attack and their
“inability” to present a unified
front in the face of controversy.

As an example, he used the
“silence” of the greater Jewish
community when militant reli-

gious leader Meir Kahane was
assassinated. Sliwa said although
some African—Americans may
have rejected some of Malcolm
X’s views, all showed outrage
publicly when he was assassinat-
ed.

He said Jews are too willing to
provide support to politicians and
are not quick enough to ask for
support in return. Sliwa said
“Italians, blacks, Irish and
Hispanics won’t let politicians
get away with easy questions.
Jews let them off the hook, they
believe in death—bed conver-
sions.”

Sliwa also emphasized the
importance of his own support
for the Jewish community. When
there was a rally after the death

of Rosenbaum, he was he was
one of the few public figures to
appear:

“Liz Holtzman, Bob Abrams,
Andrew Stein, the Anti
Defamation League a nd B’nai
Brith never showed,” Sliwa said.

Throughout, he spoke of the
increasing threats to Jews of “all
classes” , saying they were
“inevitably the focus of hate,
aggressive anger and jealousy.”
and were the object of prejudice
because they are regarded as
“over—achievers.”

Later, Sliwa said “Jews do
control society disproportionate-
ly to being 1% of the population.,
but you’ve earned it. You
shouldn’t deny that you’re dia-
mond merchants and at the head

WELCOME BACK TO CAMPUS

of banks, TV. studios and movie
studios. The way I look at it is,
you’ve earned it. Jews have
strived for their improvement
through study, the maximum uti-
lization of the brain and cerebral
activity. You’ve worked ten
times harder to lower the playing
field.”

Sliwa was himself the target of
considerable controversy two
years ago when he claimed to
have been abducted and shot. He
said he believes his kidnappers
were angered by the work his
organization has done in shutting
down drug business. After a few
days of investigation by the
police, Sliwa admitted the entire
story had been fabricated and he
had in fact shot himself accord-
ing to a New York Post story. At
the time, Sliwa said he was hav-

~ ing “many personal problems.”

Ronn Torrosian, RZA chair had
no comment on the controversy.

Mark Conley, chair of the
College Republicans said though
he “disagreed with some of the
things said here tonight, SUNYA
President Swygert holds views
that are an anathema to me and
any time we can present an
opposing point of view, it’s
refreshing. This campus is so
slanted in one direction, to get
another perspective is like a cool
drink of water.”

Asked about the relationship

(Shop ’n Save Plaza)

aS Behind Oliver’s Beverage

— SS ce ee oy

between the College Republicans
and RZA, Torrosian said, “We’ ll
work with anyone who'll work
with us.”

Sliwa also spoke in support of
RZA on campus last year. At the
time, the organization was the
target of criticism from President
H. Patrick Swygert, the Albany
State University Black Alliance
and a variety of off-campus
Jewish and non-Jewish civil lib-
erties organizations for posting
posters around campus advertis-
ing an up-coming lecture enti-
tled, “Every Jew a .22?”

The posters named various
“threats” to Jews, including
skin—heads, Muslim fundamen-
talists and questioned how Jews
should defend themselves. They
were regarded by Swygert as
voicing sentiments alien to a
“Just Community.”

RZA claimed Swygert’s han-
dling of the issue, which includ-
ed a comment to RZA members
that he felt “sorry for you peo-
ple,” was poor, and possibly
impelled by anti-semitism.

They also said the Jewish com-
munity received disproportion-
ately low funding for its organi-
zations. Torrosian said, “Curtis
was one of the only people there
for us.”

SAGAN

Continued from front page
' point. It was only the last decade
the Catholic church officially for-
gave Galileo. Sagan said “We
are covert geocentrists with a
heliocentric patina.” Further,
“We want to be important ...not
through anything we do. Not
through any merit we have
learned. But merely by virtue of
being born on the earth or being
born human.”

Sagan described how he
worked on the Voyager I and
Voyager II satellite expedition
which explored the Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus Neptune systems.
As the satellite was leaving the
solar system it turned the cam-
eras back towards earth for a
photo of earth from the edge of
the solar system which he poeti-
cally described earth as a “pale
blue dot momentarily in a sun-
beam...That’s here, that’s home,
that’s us.”

He closed the lecture with
these words. “The earth is a very
small stage in a vast cosmic
arena. Our posturing, our imag-
ined self importance, the delu-
sion that we have
some privilege in the universe
are, it seems to me challenged by
this pale point of light . Our
planet is a lonely speck in the
great enveloping cosmic dark.
And in all our obscurity, in all
this vastness, there is no hint that
help will come from somewhere
else and save use from ourselves.
The only help is here.”

“This image of our tiny
image of our tiny world power-
fully underscores that feeling [of
loneliness in the vast cosmos]. It
tells me, I think, to deal more
kindly with one another. And to
preserve and cherish this pale
blue dot. The only home our
species has ever known.”

During the question and
answer period the audience
posed questions, Is the universe
open or closed? In 1.1 million
years the sun will fry the earth,
what should humanity do about
it? Why can’t we travel the speed
of light? What is your response
to the statement ‘God cannot be
written out in a formula,’

In response to the last ques-
tion he entered in a long discus-
sion of the nature of God viewed
from a scientific perspective.
According to him, there is no sci-
entific evidence for a biblical
God. However, the God of
Einstein and Spinoza is the sum
total of the laws of nature which,
of course, meshes well with sci-
ence. He then became philosoph-
ical, pointed out the fascinating
idea that an omnipotent, omni-
scient God does not need to
interfere and fix its mistakes,
which makes one wonder about
the omniscience and omnipo-
tence of some views of God.
Also, if the universe is infinitely
old, then it logically cannot have
a creator. Since Dr. Sagan urges
us not to believe in anything that
cannot be proven, while keeping
an open mind about that which
cannot be disproved, the safest
religions are those which have
tenants which cannot be dis-
proved.

In the end, a student pointed
out, Sagan had not answered the
title question of the lecture, “Is

there intelligent life on earth?” In
fact, he had answered very few
questions at all, while leaving
many more after the talk than
when he had started.

CENTRAL COUNCIL
Continued from page 3
mated at $35,000.00, however
Richards was only asking
Central Council for $10,000.00.
If approved, a committee will be
formed to assist this project.

Floor plans were presented to
committee members by newly
hired coach John Janecek, who
will oversee the project. He said
the plan could be implemented in
about three to six months.

Although Richards said part of
the funding will come from
Residential Life, he said he
would actively oppose any
attempt to charge the stu-
dents for usage. He also said
that after the money is spent,
the annual cost of this would
be much less.

Keller confirmed that two
quads already offer athletic
equipment for those who pay
a fee. He said, “My main
concern is why weren’t stu-
dents asked to be involved in
the development stage
before this came here? (and)
where is the money going to
come from?”

Sarah Warden a Central
Council member echoed
Keller’s concerns by asking
if this had anything to do
with the school’s goal to
move to Division One.
Richards said this was not
directly related and was.
intended to. benefit the_stu-
dent body as a whole.

The committee also voted
unanimously on the appoint-
ment of Michele Bonan to
the Academic Affairs
Committee. No discussion
was required in this matter.

In compliance with the
Central Council attendance
policy, a bill to remove four
Central Council members
was presented and passed.
The students are: Oscar
Black of Alumni Quad, E.
Craig Howell of Alumni

Quad, Avionne Gumbs of Indian
Quad, and Aaron Kent of Indian
Quad.
These members were reported
to have missed four consecutive
meetings, and according to poli-

cy, members may not
miss three consecutive
meetings. They will be
replaced in the upcom-
ing election.

Some Danes were still sore or injured,
although DeJoy is back on track.

“He’s back and healthy and faster than
last year at the same meet,” coach Kevin
Williams said.

With improvements showing in prac-
tices, Williams believes the Danes have
enough potential to fight their way to a
respectable season. One of their best
chances to boost confidence is today in
Saratoga Springs.

Both the men and women face
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the

will seriously challenge the favorites, St.

Men‘ Ss soccer es on eeorne

On October 4, the Albany men’s soccer team defeated top ranked Plattsburgh, 2—1 at Varsity Field.
Plattsburgh is currently ranked third in the Northeast Region and had a five-game winning streak going
until they went up against Albany. The Danes current record is 7-2-1.

Forward Jason Keshinover scored the first goal of the game at 66:18. Forward Chris Mogavero headed
a cross pass from Joe Augienello with 11 minutes left in the game. That was Mogavero’s tenth goal of
the season. Goalie Jon Jacobs made five saves in the game.

Albany next hosts Montclair State this Saturday at 1 p.m. at Varsity Field.

Crew Impressive in Hudson Races

By DOUGLAS PARKER

Under steel gray skies and bit-
ing autumn cold, nine competi-
tive rowing clubs converged in
Albany for the three and a half
mile agony that is the Head of the
Hudson. Crews from Middlebury,
RPI, Vassar, Colgate, Ithaca,
Arlington, U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy, Albany Rowing Club
and SUNY Albany met on
Saturday, October 1 to vie against
each other, themselves and the
river itself for the honor of taking
home the victory cup.

Albany. entered.all. four major
events: the women’s varsity 4+,
women’s varsity 8+, men’s varsi-
ty 4+, and the men’s varsity 8+
(the “+” indicates with coxswain,
the team member who pilots the
boat). Those rowers entered in the
4+ events doubled up and rowed
again in their respective 8+
events, leaving, as with the case
with the women, little or no time
between events. The average
Head race burns 4,000 calories
and these athletes performed
twice back to back.

The men’s V4+ went off the
line first against Middlebury,
RPI, Colgate, and a dual entry by
USMMA. Coxswain Corilin
Nocito brought Albany up to a
pace that kept Aaron Russell,
Mark Eisenhandler, Ted
Whitesell and strokeseat Glenn
Stein pulling to a second place
finish, close behind Middlebury
and significantly ahead of the
other boats.

“It was a good row,” Russell
reflected afterwards. “For the first
race of the fall season we came
together really well and should
improve steadily from here.”

Albany had dual entries in the
varsity women’s 8+ event, pitting
both heavyweight and lightweight
shells against more multiple
entries from the other teams. The
Heavy-8+ stroked to a fifth place
finish.

Todd Rutecki coxed the
Light—8+ to 8th place. From the
VW68+, Meike Huizinga, Kerrie
Sansky, Theresa Saxton,
stroke—seat Sue Middleton and
Cox Todd Rutecki jumped right
into the VW4+ without so much
as time to walk around and

stretch. From that state of exhaus-
tion, however, they pulled out a
second place performance close
behind Vassar and way ahead of
the rest of the pack.

The varsity men’s 8+ took it
off the mark in the last event of
the day and Nocito coxed
bow-seat Ed Manning, Al
Infante, Russell, Andrew Queler,
Douglas Glennstein to a fourth
place finish ahead of six teams.

“We've got the interest, the

facilities and the effort: from here D
it’s just a matter of time,” Nocito | ;,

said.
Head coach Eric Wootan
echoed her enthusiasm. “Right

now we’re exactly where we| piay

want to be in terms of this season } .:..14.,

and the spring season as well.

We’ ve got a lot of work ahead of tt

us but I fell good and very opti-
mistic. It’s going to be a good
year.”

Albany Crew continues its fafl
schedule with the Bausch and
Lomb Invitational in Rochester
on October 15, the Head of the
Charles Regatta in Boston on
October 22, and the Head of the
Fish on October 29.

River Rats hold off Cornwall

Albany gets yet another great comeback

By Epwit FONTANILLA
Sports Editor

In dramatic fashion, the Albany
River Rats won their season home
opener against the Cornwall Aces
in front of a crowd of 5,544 fans
at Knickerbocker Arena last
Saturday.

The previous night, the Rats
had to fight back from a four goal
deficit to tie the Syracuse Crunch,
7-7. They found themselves in a
somewhat similar situation
against the Aces.

The. first 17 minutes and 43
seconds of the game saw no goals
scored until right wing Bill
Armstrong got a shorthanded goal
past Cornwall goalie Garth Snow.
The Aces retaliated with less than
a minute left in the first period
when Jon Klemm tied it up with
an unassisted goal.

The second period opened with
a fight and a few trips to the
penalty box. With 11:47 left in

the period, Cornwall’s Francois
Leroux scored past goalie Corey
Schwab with assists from Brent
Brekke and Doug Friedman.

Cornwall had an excellent
chance to increase their lead
when Armstrong was sent for five
minutes to the penalty box when
he was called for checking from
behind and dangerous miscon-
duct. Armstrong slammed Jane
Laukkanen hard into the boards
and Laukkanen had to be taken
off the ice. Schwab had several
good saves during the Cornwall
power play. —

The River Rats once again
found themselves having to battle
back from behind as they did
against the Crunch. The third
period started well for Albany
when Reid Simpson scored off a
pass from Curt Regnier to even
up the game, 2—2. Steve Sullivan
pushed the Rats into the lead by
scoring a goal past Snow with
16:30 left in the game.

With less than 12 minutes to
go, Albany’s Krzysztof Oliwa
was goaded into highsticking
Leroux creating a power play
which Cornwall quickly took

advantage of. Thirty nine seconds |

into the power play, Dwayne
Norris tied it up 3-3 unassisted.

At 10:52, the River Rats
jumped into the lead off a goal by
Cale Hulse. Thanks to a few more
saves by Schwab, they managed
to maintain the lead. Cornwall
had one last chance to save them-
selves during a 6 on 4 power play
with less than two minutes left in
the game. However, the Rats
were able to stave them off win-
ning the game, 4-3.

Albany’s women’s soccer team
suffered their first home field loss of
the season Monday at the hands of
North Adams State College. The
Danes had hoped to extend their
home field three-game winning
streak, but met with disappointment.

The Mohawks scored early and
were successful at holding off the
Danes until freshman Tara Ford
scored the only Albany goal with
1:30 remaining in the first period.
The shot came from about 30. yards
out and was unassisted. Ford missed
the first six games because of ineli-
gibility, but has proved to be a “God
send” since being cleared.

The Mohawks took control of the
second period with two goals—one
from Tracey Toce off a pass from
Maura Sullivan and the other from
Jen Maloney, her second of the day.
The Danes were unable to recover
from the 3-1 deficit, and their record
slips to 3-5-1.

The Danes are temporarily experi-
encing a lull, having lost the last
three games after winning their first
three. Injuries to some top offensive
players have put pressure on the
team. While the defense has been
solid the injuries have hindered
Albany. With central players being

“It takes the entire team to win a
game,” first year head coach Kris
Youmans believes.

Despite these injuries, Youmans
has gotten strong performance out of
sophomore Ellen Braun, freshmen
Ilene Eliea and Ford. In addition,
senior captain Jenn O’Donnell has
been a “coach’s dream.”

According to Youmans, “Jenn’s a
real role model for the other players.
She’s a hard worker, gives 150%

position this season except goal
keeper.”

- Youmans also cites sophomore
Michelle Brogan and freshman
goalie Michelle Lanoue as having
great potential. Lanoue had 10 saves
against the Mohawks.

Although the team has dropped
the last three games Youmans
remains optimistic.

The team consists of “hard work-
ing, dedicated and serious players
whose goal is to make it to post sea-
son play.”

The Danes face a tough schedule,
and if they make it to post-season
play it will be the first time since
1988.

Albany’s cross country teams had split

results in the Codfish Bowl in Boston last
Saturday. While the men are still looking to

pull everything together, the women handily

outperformed the great majority of the field.

The women’s team had taken seventh at
Cortland last week, but moved up to third out
of the eighteen Division II and III teams
which participated. Their only New York
opponent, Plattsburgh, wound up sixth.
Bowdoin, ranked 12th nationally in Division
III, won, followed by the University of
Massachusetts at Lowell and Trinity, both
Division II teams. Although quite a bit behind
those teams, Albany’s 165 points were a good
distance ahead of Quinnipiac, the next finish-
er, who had 219.

Once again, Lisa Nesta shone, taking sev-
enth and becoming the New York State
Women’s Athletic Conference runner of the

yards. Savino had a big day throwing for
over 200 yards for the third straight game.
His final totals were 9-23 for 218 yards
and two touchdowns. Middle linebacker

Two more quality performers are sophomores

On the men’s side, Jason DeJoy led the way,
