Right-wing organizing against NYPIRG fizzles

By James O'Sullivan
(NEWS EDITOR

Syracuse

Syracuse University students
voted overwhelmingly to continue
funding NYPIRG in a referen-
dum Tuesday, despite a much
heralded conservative push
against the consumer and en-
vironmental’ lobbying
organization,

In the largest turnout SU Stu-
dent Government Association of
ficials could recall, 75 percent of
those voting agreed that NYPIRG
(New York: Public Interest
Research Group) should remain
on campus.

Student conservatives at both
SU and Washington, D.C, had
said that Syracuse was the first of
40 campuses to be ‘‘de-PIRGed,
but no challengers showed up in
Syracuse Tuesday, and members.
of the SU based ‘'STOPirg”
organization kept a low profile
throughout the voting.

STOPirg’s objective is to stop
the finding of NYPIRG through
mandatory student activity feo
money, even though NYPIRO's
funding’ is voted on through a

ferendum from the rest
of the fee, «

“STOPirg didn't have theit act

*fOaether, they were not - organiz-
ed, and they did not have the
resources,’’ said Karen
McMahon, chair of NYPIRG's
Board of Directors.

“Our campus presence was
subliminal, we were there and yet ,

‘we weren’t, it’s that simple,"” said Syracuse University students voted 3 to 1 In favor of continued

STOPirg member Troy Smith,

Smith said NYPIRG was so
successful because the student
government, and campus media
‘were all pro-NYPIRG. “The Dai-
Jy Orange considers themselves
the most objective paper on cam-
pus...they don’t understand that
they are so pinkie commie leftist
it’s unreal,” he stated.

The national conservative
movement didn’t show up at the
referendum, McMahon said,
becauise they didn’t want to lose
the first referendum battle of the
year. “They knew that we were
‘organized enough and they knew
that we were going to win,” she
said,

NYPIRG Project Coordinator
at SU Mark Schlechter agreed,
saying, ‘The STOPirg people just
did not have the support on the
campus.” He said NYPIRG ¢x-
pected a large battle, and was sur-
prised with the results. “A three
to one margin is much more than
we had thought,” he added,

Attributing the vote ‘to
NYPIRG's campus yjsibility and
work ‘on projects such as voter
registration, Supetfund,
financial aid cuts, and women’s
issues, Schlechter said, “1 think

STAFF WRITER,

Despite the sentencing of draft registration resister An-
drew Mager in early February to six months in prison,
most SUNYA students who have not yet registered for the
draft remain strong in their resolve to not do so.

‘Mager was the first New York State resident to be tried
for refusing to register.

In an informal poll of twenty randomly selected
‘students, four admitted that they had not yet registered,
while the remaining sixteen, one.who was handicapped
‘and not eligible for the draft, had registered.

Said one student of the four who had not registered, ‘1
have no intentions of registering now or in the future,
even if it means legal action brought against me by the
state, or the sacrifice of financial aid."" Financial aid is
linked to compliance with draft registration by the
Solomon Amendment, whict requires that in order to
receive federal aid, men must be registered for the draft.

Another student who has not complied with draft
registration stated that he had not done so because he had
“yet to get around to it."

All the students surveyed stated that they did not
believe the draft would ever really be instituted, and many
said that they did not find mandatory draft registration
all that offensive, ‘I believe,” stated one students, “that
there are certain situations which could occur which
would warrant the institution of a draft, and as such,
draft registration is a necessary evil.””

Six of the twenty students polled sald they felt that
students should indeed protest against draft registration if
they felt compelled (0 do s0, but through means other
than non-compliance, ‘Our society provides for avenues
to get laws changed other than disobeyance,"* said one
student who along with three others asserted that the law
should come down hard on anyone not complying with
mandatory draft registration.

Fourteen of the twenty surveyed supported the efforts
of Andrew Mager, claiming that non-compliance was the
only really effective way to protest an unfair law, and to
intiate change. Several students cited figures in American
History such as Martin Luther King Jr., who successfully
employed civil disobedience in an effort to change ex-
isting laws,

Twenty five percent felt that their support for draft
registration would increase if the law were made ‘‘fairer’”
by requiring draft registration and any potential draft to
apply to all members of society within a certain age
group, regardless of sex.

Students surveyed were split in half concerning the
issue of tying financial aid to draft registration, Many of
those students against the Solomon Amendment pointed
out its discriminatory nature, in that those not requiring
financial aid would not be subject to the same govern-
ment scrutiny as those who do require aid.

University President Vincent O'Leary said that he per-
sonally did not find the mandatory draft registration that

those who do not obey the law,’ stated

‘and who are willing to suffer the conse-

quences, while I do not think of them as heroes, 1 can

understand why they do as they do, and 1 admire their
conviction for their beliets."”

O'Leary also stated that he supports a ‘Universal Na-
tional Service,"” made up of all persons of a certain age.
“The draft is unfair," asserted O'Leary.

In our society, said Vice President of Student Affairs
Frank Pogue, anyone has a right to not comply with any
law, though they have to be willing to suffer the conse-
quences of their actions. As responsible citizens Pogue
advised all students to register,

Donald Whitlock, Director of Financial Aid, stated
that he personally would comply with draft registration if
he was of age, though in a democratic society he respects
the rights of citizens to civil disobedience, and said he
finds it an acceptable means of protesting the law. 0)

NEWS BRIEFS

Worldwide

Ortega reopens talks

Managua, Nicaragua
(AP) President Daniel Ortega said his lef-
tist government is willing to send 100
Cuban military advisers home and stop ac-
quiring new weapons systmes to persuade
President Reagan to reopen talks and drop
his support for rebels.

Ortega outlined to reporters Wednesday
seven pages of proposals he said could help
persuade the Reagan administration to
discontinue “the hostile policy against
Nicaragua, in violation of the principles
and norms of international cooperation."*

The first 50 Cuban military advisers
could leave in May, Ortega said.
Nicaragua also was willing to impose an
“indefinite moratorium’ on acquiring
new weapons systems, including
‘interception aircraft," he said.

Chernenko reappears

Moscow
(AP) Soviet President Konstantin
Chernenko Thursday was shown in a Tass
photograph receiving credentials as a
deputy in the Parliament of the Russian
Federation, the country's largest republic.

Chernenko was pictured holding fast to

a chair with his left hand while he shook
hands with Communist. Party officials
with his right hand, The Soviet leader,
rumored to be seriously ill, has been out of
the public eye for two months before ap-
pearing in television footage Sunday
casting his ballot.

Chernenko, 73, was elected to represent
the Kuibyshev district of Moscow during
elections on Sunday. All 15 republics
lected parliaments, and all members of
the ruling Politburo were unopposed can-
didates for seats.

Lamu seeks diapers

Nairobi, Kenya
(AP) An official of the island town of
Lamu, off Kenya's Indian Ocean coast,
wants to keep the streets tidy by putting
makeshift diapers on donkeys.

The government's district officer for
picturesque Lamu, B.K, Warioko, appeal-
ed Wednesdsay to local craftsmen to
devise baskets, leather buckets or cloth
diapers to collect donkey drippings.

“This will help keep the streets of Lamu
town and other villages in the district free
of donkey droppings, which have con-
tributed to the dirt in the town and the
villages,’ the official Kenya News Agency
quoted Warioko as telling a meeting of
island residents,

Warioko was quoted as saying that the
donkey dung has contaminated Lamu's
water supply and contributed to the in-
cidence of cholera.

PanAm goes on strike

‘New York City
(AP) Picket lines went up from Miami to
Honolulu Thursday as transport union
workers struck Pan American World Air-
ways, virtually shutting down the finan-
cially troubled carrier's domestic service
ans severely curtailing its overseas flights.
“T think it is going to be’a long strike,””
said Transport Workers Union airline divi«
sion director John Kerrigan, who an-
nounced the strike of 5,753 mechanics,
baggage handlers, flight dispatchers and
food service workers at 12:15 a.m, EST.
Picket lines immediately went up at air-
ports in Miami, Los Angeles, San Fran-
cisco, and Honolulu, Kerrigan said Pan
Am pilots — who settled their contract
with the airline Tuesday — have promised
to honor TWU picket lines, and other
unions have advised their members to stay
off the job.

Both the House and Senate on Wednes-
passed separate ‘legislation offering
vatious forms of credit relief to farmers
having ‘trouble getting operating money
this spring. They include interest rate sub-
sidies and loan guarantees and advances —
all opposed by President Reagan as
unnecessary.

Backers of the credit-aid moves, mostly
Democrats and: farm-state Republicans,
hailed the moves as a way to keep farmers
caught in a credit pinch alive for at least
another year.

But Senate Majority Leader Robert
Dole, R-Kan., said the action signaled a
breakdown in budget discipline early in a
year when Congress is grasping for ways to
reduce the federal budget deficit.

Statewide

Fed aid cuts reviewed

Albany
(AP) State Sen. Kenneth LaValle, the
Republican chairman of the Senate Higher
Education Committee, has written Presi-
dent Reagan asking him to reconsider pro-
posed cuts in aid to college students.

“Colleges and universities will become
unaffordable to large segments of our
population if federal student aid is
withdrawn in the magnitude and in the
frame being suggested’* in the budget pro-
posed by Reagan, the Suffolk County state
senator wrote the president:

LaValle, who released his letter to
Reagan on Wednesday, told the president
that proposed aid cuts “would ‘clearly

“You have a commitment to do what is

studies at Smith College, began’ her ad-
dress by asking the audience of about 100
to join hands, “‘After that, Martin Luther
King would say ‘They are together’
Primus said when the audience followed
her request.

The luncheon’s theme was the legacy of
the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s
life's works, and, according to Primus,”

“We all have a vested interest in civil rights."

his legacy is a commitment to
conscience.”

“Itis not ‘the fight of blacks alone for
Civil Rights, blacks and whites must fight
together (and) that chain cannot be
stronger than its weakest link,” Primus
said, repeating Dr. King’s words.

“We all have a vested interest in Civil
Rights," she advocated, speaking of
King’s early bouts with prejudice and how
they inspired him. She told of how as a
child his two best friends could no longer
lay with him once schoo! started and how
his father could not buy shoes because he
‘would not sit in the designated black area
in the rear of the store. Thus, according to
Primus, King Jr. learned ‘what it means
to wear the dark skin, what it means to be
black in this country.””

At age fifteen, Primus said, King

“We've got to know what we want — we

of agenda,” Primus asserted,

“We must adopt new standards of ex-
cellence and some of these might be in con-
flict with what we though before, —
without that excellence we're targeted for
all kinds of racism,” she added,

Emphasizing the necessity of “all people
(working together to) banish forever the
fear of nuclear war," the existence of
poverty, and the devastation of hunger,
Primus reiterated King's hope that blacks

the laws that were not in keeping with the «ind whites would realize their a vested in-

spirit of the United States Constitution,
He developed a love for words and didn’t
fight much, she said, explaining ‘‘he could
always talk, reason his way out.

“Martin Luther King became a symbol
‘of open pride for the black people,”
Primus said. “He was a symbol of
themselves, a reason for being."

Primus said she shared his dream —
“ithe dream that he had is that anger is
tseless against a system that is rooted in

terested in survival and peace,

Primus concluded with a reading from
Martin Luther King’s last speech at
Ebenezer Baptist Church, in which he
reflected on his death, ‘I want you to say
that I tried to serve and love humani-
ty...that I was a drum major for peace, for
Justice, for rightousness, I want you to say
that 1 wanted 10 leave a commited life

Church suit hinders opening of abortion clinic

By J. Michael Malec
STAFF WRITER

A proposed abortion clinic at
Upper Hudson Planned Paren-
thood’s Lark Street office will not
be opening as scheduled because
of a suit brought by the Albany
Roman Catholic Diocese.

The clinic has; been a heated
issue in the area ever since plans
for it were revealed in an article
in the Times-Union last
September. The case revolves not
around the issue of abortion, but
rather, is a procedural one, and
challenges the way in which the
State Health Department arrived
at its decision to grant the license.

Father Michael Farano,
Chancellor of the diocese, ex-
plained that ‘It is no secret where
the Church stands on abortion;

we are against abortion," and he
described the current case as a
“focused argument. We are not
arguing the constitutional issue.

‘Nathan Riley, press secretary to
Attorney General Robert
agreed, saying ‘The
Catholic church has never made
abortion .rights an issue in this
case."

Farano said the Church's
challenge was made because the
Health Department did not prove
the’ facility was needed and did
not follow department internal
procedure while researching the

case,

Ruth Klepper, ‘Director of
Planned Parenthood, maintained
the clinic is needed. ‘Studies
showed the need for non-hospital
abortions in this area, especially

for younger women and Medicaid
patients, There are already ade-
quate services available for those
women who can afford them, but
for others, it has been necessary
to leave the area,” she said, ad-
ding that. 400-600 women leave
the Capital District each year
because there are no affordable
and confidential services in the
area.

“As part of our pregnancy
counseling, we will provide a list
of facilities in the area on request,
but many women still chose to go
downstate, where there are clinics
available," she said,

Riley added that ‘the Health
Department studies showed that
more women leave this area for
abortions than from any com-
parable city in the state,"” He said

The proposal was first advanced in January by a
top-level commission that found SUNY — with
370,000 students and 64 colleges, universities and
community colleges — to be ‘the most. over-
regulated university in the nation.””

‘The independence of the new SUNY corporation
would be a dramatic departure from SUNY’s cur-
rent status as a state agency.

SUNY trustees and administrators must now win
approval from the state Budget Division and the
state comptroller’s office for “even the most
elementary administyative decisions,"” according to
the January report by the Independent Commission
on the Future of the State University.

In contrast, the new SUNY corporation would be
given new financial freedom to spend state aid
under control of the SUNY trustees. SUNY would
stil need legislative approval of its budget, but ad-
minisirators could shift some funds within the

and manage their own finances.

The state Senate and Assembly Higher Education
Committees have completed two of four scheduled|
hearings on the commission's recomendations. The|
final two will be held Friday in Buffalo and March|

Some committee members have said that action|
less drastic than turning SUNY into a public cor-|

over-regulation,

‘The changes SUNY trustees want to make require:
amending the state Education Law under which
SUNY was created in 1948 as a state agency. Under}

Proposal for autonomy passed 11-0

4 ALBANY. STUDENT PRESS () FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1985

Low pay for teachers turns off potential profs

(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) Poor pay and
shrinking enrollment are driving PhDs
away from college teaching careers and in-
to more lucrative fields, a current study
showed, and the trend could mean there'll
be fewer talented professors in classes in
the next decade.

In a survey of 38 colleges, Howard R.

Bowen and Jack Schuster, education pro- ,

fessors at California's Claremont
Graduate School, found the deteriorating
academic climate is persuading top pro-
fessort and graduate students to abandon
higher education careers.

‘The result, they said, may be a shortage
of good teachers,

“The naggirig worries and decreased job
security facing professors today are. per-
suading the brightest PhD recipients to
seck employment in other fields,
told participants at the recent joint con-
vention of the American Council on
Education and the National Association of
State Universities and Land Grant Col-
leges in Denver.

While current faculties are “the best
equipped for the job we've ever had,"
Bowen noted, “the flight of current people
in higher education and of young people
choosing careers will mean more education
openings than can be filled.””

‘There will be as many as $00,000 college
teaching’ positions open in the next 25
years, Bowen said. “And the numbers
could be even greater in the next 15 years if
conditions in higher education continue to
deteriorate."

“The academic community must begin
now to compete," he added. “Recruit-
ment of new faculty is the most important
task of higher education,” he said,

To entice top quality PhDs into higher
education, colleges need to offer com-,
petitive salaries, incentives and working
conditions, Bowen said in a recent

telephone interview.

But slipping enrollment could wreck
those offers.

“Faculty salaries are controlled by
political and economic factors,"” he said.
“Private schools. depend on enrollment,
So do public schools, but they need their
legislatures to offset losses.””

“Most colleges are happy. with the pro-
fessor supply and with new recruits,”?
Schuster added. ‘But the bubble is about
to burst. The application pool is thin
below the top.”*

In addition, new surveys indicate fewer
students are choosing college teaching

cers.

In 1966, Schuster told the Denver con-
vention, 1.8 percent of college grads con-
sidered teaching at the college level: By
1979, only 0.2 percent wanted to teach.

Since the numbers have stabilized, he
said, the number of top students planning
to teach continues to slip.

In the fifties, one in five college faculty
members were Phi Beta Kappa. By 1969,

only eight percent held the honor,

‘Schuster concluded that whilé the vacant
teaching positions won't go unfilled, the
quality of applicants will go'down:

“The losses are real,"" Schuster ‘main-
tained, ‘‘and higher education today can’t
compete successfully for the best graduates
ho now have other options.’*

“If we're correct,"” Schuster concluded,

in 10 years we'll have a setious fe

SUNYA recruitment considered sufficient

By Ilene Weinstein
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

While SUNYA's academic depart-
ments may not be able to compete with
those at many private universities, quali-
ty among professors here has not
decreased, according to several depart-
ment chairs at the University.

“Since the job market {s bad, omby they
best survive in their field," siad College
of Humanities and Fine Arts Dean Paul
Wallace, who added that there are ‘ex-
tremely fine young people’? teaching in
the humanities department as SUNYA.

In the humanities fields, there’ is an
oversupply of people with Ph.D
degrees, said. Department of English
Chair Eugene Garber, who explained
that this situation allows SUNYA to,
chioose from the best candidates,

Academic departments are more
selective now, said Economics Chair S.
Pong Lee. ‘There are a large number
of people applying for positions, but we
are looking for those who can get
tenured more easily," he said.

“We don't want to hire people for a
few years and then haye to let.them go

because they can’t get tenure,"” Lee said.
‘Academic departments are looking for
professors in both teaching and
research, he added.

Both Garber and Wallace agreed that
graduate: schools discourage their
students from entering the academic
field when there is an oversupply of
teachers, and encourage only 'the very
best.

The supply of teaching professionals
shifts sometimes, explained Wallace,

‘these periods balance »,
and that ‘no real problem

The business and science departments
are in a worse, situation than those
departments in the humanities fields,
said Garber, because science and
business professors may be tempted
away from the academic life by industry
and big business. English professors are
not vocationally oriented,”” he said.

While SUNYA can attract profes-
sionals interested in the academic life,
this university cgnnot compete with in-
dustries for, professionals interested in
industrial research,, explained Geology

Chair Stephen DeLong, However, the
Geology Department has hired a new
faculty member in three out of the last
four years and applicants have increased
in the last few years, said DeLong.

“Certain people take jobs in the col-
leges,”" said Center for Undergraduate
Education (CUB) Assistant Dean.
Richard Collier, who, explained ‘that
there are unique opportunities. offer
in academic life. “There are those who
are intellectually committed to do their
‘own research,” he said.

‘Academic life is dint becausetit of-
fers. professors’ intellectual ‘freedom,
said Collier, adding “‘there are always
going to be human beings:who'tan do
better in the outside world)" but who
‘choose instead to remain in academia,

ed that by the time he was Seventeen he was being arrested
nearly every day for no reason.

The area has been the scene of much bloody violence
since 1969, when British troops occupied Northern
Ireland in an attempt to constrain the IRA and the Pro-

Devine described his interrogation by police when he was
arrested again in 1977, ‘‘They (the police) refuse to tell
you why you're being held or when you'll be released,’*

According to Devine, beatings upon arrest are carried
out in order to force the victim to sign a statement which

will prove him guilty. Police offer suspects a light -

Annual Spring Conference
eyes student activism 785

By Robert Simon

“This is unusual, How often do you get
BN students from all over the state in one

ice with the same concerns and a desire
to make changes?”” asked Betsy Gorman, a
volunteer on the Toxics Project at the
University’s chapter of the New York
Public Interest Research Group.

there seems to be an undue sense of

optimism on the podium this weekend it
may well be because of the annual Spring
Conference NYPIRG is holding here,and a
lot of brainstorming on the issues will be
taking place.

Over 45 workshops are planned on
issues ranging from the transport of
nuclear wastes through heavily populated
areas of Long Island, to the Clean Indoor
Air Act, to discussions on what kind of
energy policy New York State should have.
‘The sessions will be as diverse as the issues
NYPIRG works on,. pointed out Project
Coordinator at SUNYA Bob Jaffe.

The conference, titled Student Activism
in 1985: A New.Committment, will also try
to help participants learn better. lobbying,
and media skills, said NYPIRG Local
Board co-chair Debbie Eichhorn.

The conference, which begins with
istration Friday night, could be of in-
terest to most students at the University,
said Eichhorn, explaining that “if you're
really interested in the environment, if
you're really interested in consumer issues,
if you're relly interested in nothing of the
sort, the conference has a lot to offer.”*
Costs of the conference vary, depending
‘on how many events a person wants to at-
tend. For $8.00 one can attend Saturday
night’s party in the Colonial Quad U-
lounge, breakfast and lunch Saturday,
breakfast Sunday, and all workshops.

For $6.00 one can attend all events ex-
cept the party, for $3.00 a person can at-
tend the party and all workshops but no
meals, and $2.00 will pay for admission to

all the workshops. Registration, and, many,.

of the workshops will take place in the
Lecture Centers.

Saturday's events officially begin at 9:15
a.m. with a general session and introduc-
tion by NYPIRG State Board chair Karen
McMahon and Program Director Gene.
Russianoff. Following that will be a set of
workshops,
meetings, lunch, -a discussion “with

“We must take the timing fac-
torinto account," said Catalano,
“any problem with an EOP stu-

due to the process of time. There
is no inherent difference between
EOP and other students as far as
accounting is considered, The

not yet received the latest list

Buck said that the class dues

provision in the budget is sent
through Student Accounts.
“EOP students do not pay out of
their own funds. The grant money
oes to Student Accounts, which
credits the student's account.'”

. “I have 839 students to pro-
tect," said Buck, “these students
do not have traditional means of
financial support. We want the
students to have full opportunity,
and class dues is part of it.”

Class dues are not mandatory,
according to Buck, even though
every EOP student has their dues
paid for, ‘It’s not mandatory, we
tell the government what it is for,

By Donna MacKenzie

Central Council passed a resolution by
acclamation ‘at last Wednesday” night’s
meeting which demanded that University
President Vincent O'Leary make a written
response toa recently-released report o}
the Association of American’ College:
which criticized universities which em-
phasized research over teaching.

Mike Miller, Academic Affairs Commit-
tee chair, who introduced the resolution,
said, “the resolution states that’ if the
President does not make a response within
a reasonable time about the report and its
implications for SUNYA,, then: Student
Association, shall assume that’ the. ad~
ministration has conceded that SUNYA
has been misguided about its true mission
of educating the people.’

The reporty entitled “Integrity in the
College Currigulum,” blamed a decline in
the worth’of bachelor's degrees on pro-

on teaching.

The ‘report said academic leaders
responsible for undergraduate: education

fessors professionally unprepared to teach,

Financial Aid

Miller also. spoke about President

-Ronald Reagan's budget and its proposed

cuts in financial aid, He said,” if the cuts
were enactdde, about 1,380 undergraduate
students would Jose their elibility for col-
lege work study and NDSL loans.”

‘According to Millier, “Academic Af-
fiars and Student Action Committtes are
planning a letter-writing campaign to pro-
test the budget cus.

Since 1980, students have been forced to

the House of Representatives by only a
small margin, but none of these past cuts
even compare to the radical ones proposed
in Reagan's present budget.

According to a fact sheet compiled’ by
the Student “Association of the State

EDITORIAL

Twenty years ago, this headline would
have spurred angry students to hit the
streets shouting ‘‘Hell no, we won’t
goll!’’ and condemning the United States
for its interventionist foreign policies.

Today, this headline goes unchallenged;
worse, unnoticed.

To the students of the sixties, nothing
the government said was to be ignored or
taken at face value. They learned the hard
way that the American government isn’t
always honest. They found out the truth
behind their president’s words, piece by
piece, until one day, they found
themselves in Vietnam, in uniforms, and
then it was too late.

In February of 1965, Pr
declared that his administration was deter-
mined to continue its policy of ‘helping
the people of South Vietnam preserve
their freedom.” By July of that year, he
had 125,000 U.S. soldiers committed to
Vietnam and was seeking higher draft
calls.

In February of 1985, President Reagan
said he hopes to remove the Sandinista
government, a communist regime which
took control of Nicaragua in 1979, Until
recently, Reagan had always maintained
that our only interest in Nicaragua was to
prevent them from arming El Salvador.
Now, when no one’s paying attention
anymore, the truth comes out. His real in-
terest is in controlling Nicaragua.

He’s already spent $80 million in covert
aid to support the rebel insurgents, now
he’s asking congress to allocate another
$14 million, That would come to $94
million spent arming rebels in a country
whose population is only 2.6 million.

Reagan claims the U.S. backed contras,
who he refers to as ‘‘freedom
fighters’’,are fighting against a ‘‘cruel’’
and ‘‘brutal’’ government, but sources
outside the U.S. government say the rebels
kill hundreds of innocent people and
destroy crops, schools, clinics and homes.
And they’re supposed to be the good guys.

When Reagan was asked whether he
was seeking a complete overthrow of the
Sandinista government, he answered,
“Not if the present government would
turn around and say ‘uncle’ to the
Nicaraguan rebels. House Speaker Tip
O'Neill later offered the perfect response,
“The United States has played ‘uncle’ in
Latin America for far too long. It is time

Subtraction by addition

Right now, people all over the country are trying to
figure out the best method to convince the Pentagon to
stop building weapons, as well as destroy the ones that ex-
ist now. Despite protests, the Pentagon has stood firm. A
free thinker named Walter Abelson feels that he has the
solution to provide for U.S. disarmament. I spoke to him
about it the other day.

Gerry Silver

“Did you hear about Congress’ latest weapons
blunder?” Walter asked me.

“If you mean the Sergeant York, I did read that they
were having some problems with it.””

“They're having more than problems. The Sergeant
York was built for the sole purpose of shooting down
low-flying planes and helicopters, and it can't shoot down
either.””

“You don’t expect me to believe that, do you?””

“It’s true. The Sergeant York is a radar-guided’ gun,
and must aim ahead of the plane it is shooting at.
However, it can’t predict which direction the planes are
going to turn, and the guns keep missing.””

‘All right, I can accept that. But even the most
implistic weapon can shoot down a helicopter.”

“You're right, I’m sure even the Sergeant York would
be able to shoot down a helicopter, if it could picl
on the radar, but for one reason or another, it can’t.’

“How could the Pentagon let this happen?””

“You see, part of the problem is that the government
keeps awarding weapon contracts to a single source, in-
stead of arranging for competing suppliers. As a result,
we're not encouraging the producer to do the best job he
can.””

“We're also spending more money than we would
spend in a competitive situation,

“Exactly, Congress spent 6.3 billion dollars on a gun
that doesn’t work. But after some serious calculations
and study, I think it might prove to be:a worthy
investment.””

“What do you mean?””

“Well, a receit trend has been that whatever type of
weapon the government produces, it either doesn't work
or is obsolete.”

“Granted, What of it?”

“Therefore, the best. way to lower the amount of
weapons in the country is to encourage the government to

produce as many weapons as it desires.”

“Wait a second. If we encourage the government, do
you realize how many weapons and bombs we'd end up
with?"

“It doesn't matter, none of them would work
anyway."

“It gets better. Many of our older weapons are not as
technologically efficient_as the newer weapons of the

Soviet Union. Congress worries about this, and replaces
the older, although still semi-effective, weapons with new
ones that couldn’t hurt a fly. We end up with fewer
‘weapons than we had in the first place, simply by produc-
ing more.’

“It’s an interesting concept, Walter, but there are still

some wrinkles that need to be ironed out. Do you realize
how much money, money which could be going to help
out the lower class, will be wasted while the government
builds powerless weapons to its heart’s content?”
“L know. It won't be cheap, but it’s the price we have to
pay for world peace. The lower class will just have to bite
the bullet, because if we don’t spend the money for more
missiles now, there won't be any more U.S.A.””

“1 admire your patriotism. One more problem; It takes
the U.S. years until they spend the billions of dollars that

* are necessary to produce a weapon that’s utterly useless.

By the time your plan is accomplished, it_ may be'too

'm aware of that. That’s why I am in the process of
arranging one of the strongest campaigns in U.S. history
to build as many missiles as it can, and as quickly as
possible,”*

“What will this campaign consist of?”*

“We'll start off by having a huge demonstration in
Central Park, where we will do everything we can to stir
up interest in a military build-up. But that'll just be the
beginning. We'll advertise on radio and television, sell t-
shirts, buttons, even bumper stickers. In fact, we already
have two bumper stickers ready for sale.”

“Are you serious?”

“Honest to God. The first is “Don’t Wait Until the
Day After, Build Nuclear Weapons Today." There's also
my personal favorite; “Buy A Missile, Save A Life."”

“It certainly soems like you have some creative minds
working for you.””

“We try.”

“+1 just thought of something. Sooner or later, the Pen-
tagon is bound to figure out wi
realize that they were trick
dinary'amount of weapons.””

“Yes, but by then it will be too late, and they will have
increased our defense by so much that we have absolutely
no working missiles left."”

“One thing about your plan still bothers me. Suppose
your campaign worhs, and Congress builds missile upon
missile, each one with more deficiencies than the next, un-
til we have no bombs, missiles, guns, or tanks that are
anything close to operational.

“Go on.”

“Meanwhile, the Soviets have real weapons, weapons
that function and can destroy our country in a matter of
minutes. How do we prevent the Soviets from doing as
they wish with us and the rest of the world?"”

“That's the one thing I haven't figured out yet.””

Positive approach
To the Editor:

Having reviewed the recent ASP coverage of Disabled
Awareness Day I feel that several points need to be made
publicly, Several months ago I was approached by Rich
Dalton and Steve Gawley to inform me that the Student
Association wanted to sponsor an Awareness Day. I was
prematurely pleased that able-bodied students wanted to
make their peers aware of the needs of students with
disabilities. Though I was apprehensive that their energies
would be spent oncentrating on the negative aspects of
campus life, I was hopeful that good intentions would
prevail.

After my initial meeting with the Student Association
representatives I never heard from them again. I was not
asked to participate in Awareness Day, I was not asked
for strategical advise, 1 was not even given a schedule of
the day’s events, My initial apprehension about the event
turned out to’ be based on reality, Administrators who
were asked to participate never received written confirma-
tion or instructions about their participation. Subse-
quently. they were made to look in the ASP as if they
didn’t care enough about ‘the event or the issues to
participate.

The Disabled Student Services Program has spent five
years (under my tenure and seven years prior to that)
working diligently to establish strong, constructive and
cooperative working relationship with all academic
departments and administrative offices on campus. I
believe that our positive, broad-based perspective has
won many friends, advocates and advancements for peo-
ple with disabilities at SUNYA. I have tried very hard to
convey to disabled students that change is a process, it is
ongoing, it is not an overnight event. It requires a lot of
construction input and energy from many different
sources. Since the Student Association did not seek my
perspective I am afraid that they focused their energies on
a very limited view of what life is like for the disabled
citizens on our campus.

There are many individuals who are deeply concerned
and committed to improving life at SUNYA for students

It is my feeling that these folks need constructive input

life for people with disabilities on our campus will take a
positivistic approach to problem solving.

Critical situation

To the Editor:

‘The events of February 6 - 16 were very successful for
S.T.O.P. and the University Community. Our sincere
thanks go to the Student Association, the Administra-
tion, UUP, UAS, and the fraternities whom were most
supportive. Most importantly we would like to thank the
students of SUNYA for helping to raise over 8,000 dollars
for African famine relief.. We, the student body, are prov-
ing our capacity to respond to problems beyond our own
and demonstrate a real caring, >

Please watch for our events throughout the semester
and continue to help in this critical situation.

Bus service monitor

To the Editor:

The February 26 issue of the Albany Student Press con-
tained a front-page article on the bus service. The Univer-
sity community should know that the Senate's University
Community Council is charged with the responsibility to
monitor bus safety, scheduling, and routing.

A standing UCC committee, the Transportation Ad-
visory Committee, is presently developing a questionnaire
to assess satisfaction and usage of the bus service. A com-
pleted questionnaire and the method of its distribution
has not yet been approved by the Committee. This Com-
mittee, composed of faculty and students and chaired by
David Silk, is expected to submit its findings this semester
to the Council. The Educational Policy Council's
Resource Advisory Committee has been additionally
charged to review the financial status of the bus system
and fee.

University governance, therefore, is concerned about
the bus system and is taking steps to provide for a
systematic, impartial assessment. The Council encourages
those involved in the survey which was reported in the
ASP to share their instrument, methodology, and results
with the Transportation Advisory Committee. Finally, we
encourage students to respond to the Committee's ques-
tionnaire when they receive it this Spring.

Senior. week ‘85

To The Editor:

Starting Monday, March 4th and running through to
Friday, March 8, between 11-4, the Class of 1985 will be
distributing Senior Cards to all eligible seniors. These
cards are necessary for all seniors who wish to participate
in the wide assortment of activities during Senior Week
1985. This year’s Senior Week will run from Sat. May
11th until graduation day, May 19th. Does anyone mind 8
days of events instead of 77

Already scheduled for this year are trips to Great
Adventure, Boston, Hartford Jai Alai, Saratoga
Raceway, and overnights to Montreal and Atlantic City.
Of course the traditional activities such as the Booze
Cruise, Senior Night at the Bars, canoeing and the in-
famous Clambake are also in the workings, along with a
few other surprises.

In order to be eligible for your Senior Card, you must b
¢ a student graduating before Dec. 31, 1985, and have
paid all your class dues. Class dues are $3 per semester for
every semester you are enrolled here, Class dues go
towards subsidizing the price of all trips.

For those of you who are unsure whether you have paid
dues or not, a list will be available on the 3rd floor of the
Campus Center all of next week between 11-4.

If you have paid dues for every semester at Albany,
your Senior Card will be issued to you. If you have missed
any semesters, we will be collecting back dues then also.
Dues must be paid in CASH. After you have paid your
dues, $3 a semester, you will be entitled to a Senior Card.
These cards must be held on to to purchase Senior Week
tickets, and will not be replaced if lost,

“The bottom line is, in order to participate in the ac-
tivities offered during Senior Week 1985, Seniors must

have paid all their class dies. So pay up and get psyched
for a great Senior Week!

Genuine concern

To the Editor:

Too often in our society, particularly the SUNYA com-
munity, are people hesitant to perform unless they are
rewarded in some fashion. It is indeed rare to cross paths
with someone who is willing to give of himself and offer
his services to people he does not know without concern
for personal gain or compensation, Rich Schaffer is one
such person,

A short while ago a group of us suffered a tremendous
Joss. Rich Schaffer's accessibility and genuine concern for
us was totally overwhelming and completely unselfisl
‘This letter has nothing to do with Mr. Schaffer's politics,
but serves as one of appreciation. We are not
acknowledging, a Student Association President, but a
true, caring human being. Rich Schaffer has, during our
crisis, acted as a good friend, not just an official
obligated to provide a service. For this we will all be
forever grateful,

—Some Friends

Invaluable service

To the Editor:
There's an important service offered here at SUNYA.
that everyone should be aware of. Don't Walk Alone
Escort Safety Service is in existence to promote an
awareness of issues of safety on the campus, to pool
together resources of the Administration, UAS and
students showing that the University as a whole cares
about the welfare of its students and employees, and most
importantly to provide escorts to those people who would
normally have to walk alone on the campus at night.

You may have seen us at the library entrance last
semester, or maybe on the quads. This semester,
however, we're improvin our service. Volunteers will
still be stationed at the libr ry, but escorts will also be
available by telephone for excursions anywhere on the up-
town campus. The service is offered Sunday through
‘Thursday, 8:00 p.m. - 11:30 p.m. Escorts are always in
teams of two consisting of at least one woman.

There is no reason that-someone has to walk home
alone from studying until 11:00 in the library, or find
their car in a dark parking lot, or trudge across campus
from the gym at night alone. Over 100 volunteers are giv-
ing of their time and energy and expressing their concern
for SUNYA's safety. Now we need people to escort!
Please use this invaluable service.

Solve the problem

To the Editor:

There are many problems in this world which need to
be resolved, but Joshua Powell's suggestion that we ig-
nore the harm of pornography until we end world hunger
is a terrible one,

The Ethiopian Famine has become a trendy cause. This
does not mean that it isn’t worthwhile, or that the people
working onit are not very dedicated. But people prioritize
evils, The attention given to Ethiopia has overshadowed
the fact that people are starving all over Africa, the rest of
the world, and even in our own country, It is wonderful
that the press the famine has gotten will help to end it.
But you can’t try to equate atrocities. You can’t make a
value judgement on brutality.

Violence against women is considered banal, We're jost
‘a bunch of prudish Feminists squawking for lack of
anything better to do, right? Violence against women is
not trendy, and tends to be ignored because the images of
women in pornography are so ingrained in us in our socie-
ty that they hardly shock us anymore,

And the argument that people have a right to see these
movies and that there is a demand for them is a weak one.
The First Amendment was created to protect peoples’
rights, but not at the expense of someone else’s. Your
right to freedom of speech ends where it takes away mine.
And it there were a demand for pro-Nazi movies and pro-
Ku Klux Klan movies, would the University show them?
People recognize that anti-Semitism and racism is
wrong, People are aware of the atrocity to have millions
of people starving to death in Ethiopia, But it is not
acknowledged that the images of men and women that
porhography perpetuates are dangerous.

People have to recognize that it is not a question of
whether or not a porn movie gets shown on campus, but
that these movies exist because of the way women are
viewed in our society, We cannot ignore the problem
while we work on solving others, j

|. By-Laurle Lewis

In commemoration of the week of the
Jewish Woman and the March 6 holiday of
Purim, Esther Chanowitz, a part-time
Hebrew: school teacher. at Maimonedes
Day School in Albany, spoke last ms eentay
on the significance of Queen Es

‘The story of Purim describes rate the
beautiful Queen Esther saved the: Jewish
people of her kingdom, by: keeping ‘her
faith of Judaism a secret for many years.

‘The Persian King Ahasueras-had pick
her as his wife, primarily because of her
beauty, without knowing that she was
Jewish. ;

illegal to be Jewish in Persia and great in-

wvnen Esther's Jewish identity was

" revealed, King Ahasueras had to decide
between his wife or Haman’s law. He~

‘chose Esther, and Haman hanged and con®

“It’s important to update perspectives
of Jewish history on an adult level, not on.
‘a hebrew schoo! level with childish views,”*
said Chanowitz,

“To know the story of Esther,” said
Chanowitz, “‘is to know the priorities of
Jewish women.”

‘Campbell explained that no one has ever
voiced a complaint before. “If I felt any of
my staff discriminated in any way, they
wouldn't be working for me,”” she said.

According to Concepcion, the situation
is being dealt with. “On February 15, 1
received a letter from Campbell with a re-
quest for me to come and see her,”” she
said. “‘The letter was very apologetic, 1
think she (Campbell) was under the im-
pression that I was the only one that felt
this way.”

Concepcion also expressed her surprise
at the apology. “I wondered why she
apologized if she feels thst she didn’t do
anything wrong,” she said,

College campuses are going out of

makes it easier for other institutions to

Chanowitz said that Esther, hada
feminine mystique, “she had an exira

above men, perhaps being the idea of
women’s intuition,”

Chanowitz’said she wanted to study the
feminist role of Esthér, nat dnly because
she was a heroine but because Chanowitz
said she “felt the of the Jewish

woman, Esther, was part of my soul.

Governor Mario Cuomo proclaimed

March 1-10 as ‘the week of the Jewish
woman."” The proclamation states that,
“by reading the story of Purim named
after her, The Scroll of Esther, the Jewish
people relive and reenact those historical
events and find them relevant today.’” }
It continues, ‘the women of the N’

the males in the audience to leave. She
taught the women remaining a song writ-

said, ‘speaks for itself, for Esther, and to

‘After the song she asked the trivia ques-

“It seemed so bizarre,” adding that she

worked here so long, I forget he is black —
George is George.”

“I did not find it necessary to file a for-
mal complaint because Campbell has been
very reasonable,’’ stated Concepcion, ex-
plaining that a meeting is being arranged
with herself, Bowman, and Dr. Japhet
Zwana, Assistant Affirmative Action Of-

7:00 pm:

RPI’s record is'13-7, having won ten of
their last 11 games. They were on a nine-
game winning streak until losing to the
Danes in the Capital District Tournament.
RPI coach Chris Pritchard feels her team
got into the ECACs due to their momen-
tum during the last half of the season,

The Engineers lost to Albany by 20

rly in the season and came back a
much-improved squad in the CD tourna-
ment to lose by five points in the finals,

“There is a healthy rivalry between the
two teams,” said Pritchard, “Both teams
play really hard when we meet. Some
rivalries are out of bitterness, but this one
is very healthy.””

The RPI starters show the team’s well
roundedness. Center Tess Swatt, a
sophomore, is the team’s leading scorer
and rebounder with 14.9 ppg and 15 re-
bounds per game. Colleen Greany
averages 10.7 ppg and leads the team in
steals. As a senior she is the all-time
leading scorer for both men and women at
RPI. Mary, Lou Murrock averages 13 ppg.
at the guard position. The team's p
guard, Lori Hendler averages 5.7 assists
per game, A nine-point contributor is Lori
Wetherbee.

RPI considers height its strength over
Nazareth, as the Engineers have two six-
foot tall players. Another strong point is
their well balanced scoring attack, which
doesn't allow an opponent to isolate on an
RPI scorer,

After a win over Skidmore last Tuesday, ,

the Engineers have hada week off and
corisider that time a drawback for this
tournament. Their’ major weakness is a
lack of speed, :

“Nazareth is a really, tough team,'"'sajd

prte’'come out on top,'* ae

SUNYAC champions Buffalo State by

Nazareth starts three guards in their
line-up, which may explain their quickness
as a team. Point guard Denise Hickey
from Troy averages eight ppg and five re-
bounds. Chris Smith contributes cight ppg
and Lori Welge, two ppg. Heidi Higgins
sinks 13 ppg with nine rebounds on the
average, Leading scorer, Jean Rasey,
averages 16 ppg and six rebounds.

Coach Mike DeSillis of Nazareth con-
siders his teams weakness their consisten-
cy. ‘Our biggest problem has been that
we've played very well for only minutes in
a ball game. We haven't put too many full
games together. We've had problems stay-
ing up for an entire ball game," said
DeSillis.

He feels his teams' strength is their
whole team effort coupled with hustle and
a good attitude, They really haven't been
blown out by anyone except St. Boneven-
ture, a Div. II school, whom they lost to by
11 points (86-75). Five of their losses have
been at the buzzer or in overtime.

“I've never seen either team play," said
DeSillis. “It'll be more or less watching
them the first five minutes or so, There isa
disadvantage playing a team you know
nothing about,"”

Coming off a tough loss to Buffalo State
last weekend, the Danes have been work-
ing for a win Saturday night. Starting for
the Danes will be Rainny Lesane, averag-
ing 17.3 ppg. Joining her at the guard posi-
tion is Ronnie Patterson, who -averages

averages eight pp the forward slot,
with six rebounds. Either Chris. Canatta,

As it turned out, the Albany
State men’s basketball team’s loss
in the SUNYAC finals to Buffalo
State wasn't so bad after all,

Granted, the Danes would've
been the host for the NCAA Nor-
theast Regionals if they had
beaten Buffalo State last Satur-
day night. But in losing, the
Danes were selected instead to the
New England regionals, bypass-
ing pethaps the most competitive
Division M1 regional in the
country,

‘The Northeastern regionals will

to this year) and Alfred,

“It might have been a blessing
that we lost,"’ said Albany State
center Greg Hart. “The Nor-
theast regionals is going to be
dog-eat-dog. We've played
against three of the teams and |
don't see how there could be bet-
ter competition in any other
regional."

“Our first choice would have
been to host the Northeastern
regionals," said coach Dick
Sauers, speaking via telephone
from his room at the Marriott
Hotel in Worcester,
Massachusetts, the site of the
New England regionals, ‘But
when we lost that, our second
choice was to get the heck out of
that region, We got our second
choice.”

This weekend's regional will pit

the Danes against W.P.1
(Worcester Polytechnic Institute),
in Friday's opening round on the
latter's home court. The other
two squads in the tournament,
\th-ranked Clarke, and
Westfield State will meet’ in the
earlier contest.

Most agree that the nationally-
ranked Clarke squad should have
little problems in slipping past
Westfield State, a club with a
record of 10-13,

Whether the Danes advance to
the finals depends heavily on how
well their defense neutralizes
WPI’s potent guards. In fact, the
deciding factor in this game might
be which team’s guards produce
more offensively,

Last Saturday in the SUNYAC
finals, the Danes" usually produc-
tive guard combination of Dan
Croutier and Dave Adam totalled
only 12 points — scoring six
apiece,

“They didn’t shoot well,”* said
Sauers, who will be looking for

outplayed,

For that matter, the whole
squad had an off-night shooting.

“It’s important for our guards
to get off to a good start," said
Assistant Coach Barry

nine years old," Carolyn Forche

told hé& SUNYA audience ‘last
‘Thursday in the Campus Center Assembly
Hall. “I didn’t know what poetry was or
that there were any poets still doing it. 1
thought all poets were dead.” After an
afternoon seminar and an evening poetry.
areading, the audience was convinced that
Carolyn Forche now knows what poetry

and that she is very much alive.

“Loren Ginsberg

When®she tried'to publish ‘her latest
book, The Country Between Us, Carolyn
Forche was labelled a “political poet,” The
collection contained seven poems about El
Salvador. Forche explains; ”Wey as
Americans can’t think of El Salvador in any
other terms but political.” One publisher
suggested that she. add some. poems that
were “quiet, likesstill lifes.” These could be
interspersed with the others to make the
book more “madulated.”

‘The book was finally bought by Harper
and Row in 1982, and the public reaction
was, "Politics arid poetry! A new ideal”

“1 found it rather puzzling that in other
countries, anything could be a subject for
poetry, but Americans were rather shy
about what was considered proper. for
poetry. If you were a female and wrote
poems about abortion. and divorce, you
were a woman'poet ‘and could'be inthe
women’s anthology." $he applied this same
concept to feminist poets, black poets, and
others.

‘Of course, some subjects are readily ac-
cepted for poetry. Forche says sarcastically,
“Snow is very important to write about. |
had a lot of snow in my first book. That’s
probably why it was published.”

Self-censorship is a disturbing concept to
Carolyn Forche, She feels'that Americans
are becoming gradually more open in ap-
proaching broader subjects. “everything
important, and it's important not to censor
oneself,” she stresses. “It’s almost worse
than if itis done to us. One must be true to
‘one’s inner life and vision.” “

Forche was awarded the Yale Series of
‘Younger Poets Award In 1976,’ which pros
vided a grant for the publication of her first
book, ‘Gathering the Tribes’ \SUNYA
English Professor Judith Johnson-Sherwin
received this same honor in 1969. After
her book was published, Forche was in a
dry spell. “I thought I was washed up at
25." She was teaching English at San Diego
State University at that time, “My students
skateboarded into class. Four semesters of

freshman comp., and my students wrote
about surf.”

In San Diego she met Maya Alegria, the
daughter of Spanish poet Claribel Alegria.
Maya invited Farche to go to Spain for the
summer and translate her mother’s poetry.
Translation was a tempting challenge.
“Maya was utterly beautifully bilingual..1
was utterly college Spanish,” she explains,

Claribel Alegria was living in Spain after
being exiled from El Salvador for writing a

novel which had been interpreted by the

government as a thinly disguised political
statement. “That was where | began my
education,” says Forche. “I spent the sum-
mer. learning about military dictatorships
and what was done to people who
disagreed with those regimes, particularly
the writers. I realized that this didn’t just
happen to anyone. We were the same.”
After that summer Garolyn  Forche
became actively involved in traveling,
writing, and teaching for human rights.
“This course’of action was'hatural for For-

che, She explains, “I see myself as a human’

being, and then as a writer, | also see
‘tmyself-as a concerned citizen. My political’
fesponsibjlities arise out of my citizenship.”
* “The result of her work in Spain was call:
ed Flowers from the Volcano. Forche con-
siders the book “a collaboration of Maya,
Mommy, and me.” At first, the American

investigator, and poet. Her latest and most
successful book of poetry The Country
Between Us, arose out of her experiences
and Was awarded the Lamont Poetry Selec-
tion for 1982. "Whatever happened to me
fed the poems,” says Forche, “l would
always have written poetry no matter
what happened to me, It might not have
been the same, but I still would have
written.”

After returning to the United States in
March, 1980, Carolyn Forche was struck
by the fact that the American image of El
Salvador was very far removed from the
actual experience. “I was a Girl Scout all
the way-up to senior Scouts. 1 was a
Catholic. 1 was patriotic. Now I'm’ hor-
rified,” she states. "What I'm really worried
about is the media, 1. was there ‘with
reporters, | saw what they saw, Then [

wanted." +
‘After her return from Spain, Forche was
offered -a Guggenheim fellowship, one
year paid to do creative work. She was free
to decide where to spend.this time. "My
friends thought, ‘You're a poet; you should
write poetry...or at least

Then she received an unexpected visit
from Alegria’s “crazy cousin.” He urged
her to spend her Guggenheim year in El
Salvador. After Forche admitted that she
had not understood the events leading to
the war in Vietnam, he told her.to watch it
from the beginning in El Salvador, and
then come back and tell the Americans.

Forche spent the next two years working
in El Salvador as a journalist, human rights

Although what she: witnessed ‘in’ El
Salvador was shocking, she feels that to
understand what is happening in the world
is the vital responsibility of all citizens, She
explains, “It's disconcerting, but when you
feel like you have more information, you
feel more safe, You're less confused.
You're not asking yurself. why certain
fhings are happening. although there are
eriods of disbelief that they actually are
rappening,” 3

“You've gotta do research, and you've
gotta dig in this country,” Forche believes.
“The journalists try, and even the editors
try, but somehow something happens. It
gets cut up. I feel now that unless I'm in a
place and looking at what's happening, |
won't know, I feel responsible as a citizen

SUNYA was fortunate to hear Carolyn
Forche’s poetry and her message on
February 21. Her visit was sponsored by
the New York State Writer's Institute. To

1985

introduce her 2:00 p.m. seminar in the
Campus Center Assembly Hall, SUNYA ~
English Professor Mark Nepo described
Forche as “that rare kind of individual who

is an inner witness of our time, She's a
witness, because she is a participant, She is
alive and thoroughly honest.”

Carolyn Forche answered questions and
told stories with theatrical but natural
vivacity. Her voice assumed the tone or ac-
cent of whomever she was speaking about.
Sound effects added realism to her stories,
and imaginary gun shols exploded from
her fingertips. A wide scarf around her
neck added an extra touch of dramatic
flair, She later admitted, “I always wear
something high in front of an audience. 1
get hives when I'm nervous.”

‘At 8:00 p.m. Forche read ahd recited
poems from The Country Between Us and
some of her other works, Dr: Jean Findley,
a representative of the Writer's Institute,

cessfully fuse personal vision with pol
‘committment in her art and in her life."
Findley expressed great respect for the
poet and told the audience, "Caralyn For-
che found secrets in America and in El
Salvador because she loved both countries
‘enough to create that common ground in
poetry.”

The presentation began with some of
her lighter works. One was about an inci-

ent Forche had with a medicine woman at
atime when she was a “hippie” and wanted
to learn about "herbs", She ironically called
it her only scary poem. Another was a
beautifully sensitive tribute to a high
school friend with whom she lost touch.

Gradually her tone changed. “I'm going
to tell you some stories now. This is har
Forche confessed, “These are from the El
Salvador poems." As the poet spoke, she
leaned toward the audience, urgently im:
pressing her words upon the listeners.

Forche encouraged questions'at the end
of her presentation, When asked if she
receives a lot of negative feedback about
the nature of the poetry, she answered,
“Mostly, people are pretty receptive. They
recognize that something awful’s going on.
They want to find out. It doesn't surprise
people, for some reason.”

The New York State Writer's Institute
held a reception after the reading, allowing
Forche ‘to speak freely with audience
members ard to realize that the feedback
was definitely positive, William Kennedy,
Director of the Writer's Institute, felt that,
"She was extremely successful in doing
what a poem can do — take us somewhere
we haven't been before. She's a
remarkable, inventive mind with great
power of language. Her social vision is not
social propaganda, It's very rare, She's a
real poet.”

When asked if she feels a sense of
obligation to convey her experiences to the
public, Carolyn Forche answered, “Yes It's
a good obligation. I have a lot of friends
who died, They can't speak, I always feel

a

like I'm speaking for them.”

Forche accepted the offer.

It's a pretty inconsequential dance record.

Corey Levitan

On She's the Boss, Mick actually aban-
dons the heedless ego trip that for twenty
years has been the focus of one of the
world's most famous personas. The theme
of this album is vulnerability, manifested as
the vulnerability of Mick’s characters to
domineering girlfriends, as the title sug-
gests, The premise works perfectly. Mick
plays his inferior roles with just enough
campiness to appear simultaneously
defenseless against, and in control of his
environment. In Half a Loaf, Mick plays a
paramour who is hopelessly trapped in a
dismal relationship..."Here’s to separate
taxis/to our stolen conversations...1 can't go
on seeing you like this!” Mick is further
abused in Secrets when he finds his lady
slutting around behind his back..,”How can
you dare?” Later, he regains control and
suggests that she might as well “do it for
the money.” In Hard Woman, Mick cannot
do enough for his princess..."1 gave her
laughter, she wanted diamonds,” and Just
Another Night finds our protagonist in a
hotel room pleading with his one-night
stand not to desert him. Surely, this not a
side of Mick Jagger with which we are
very familiar, Running Out of Luck and
Lonely at the Top sound like personal con-
fessions about the emptiness of Mick's own
stardom, and vulnerability borders on sefl-

He's got lips

degradation in the album's title track.

However, a great theme does not a great
album make. Musically, She's the Boss is a
mixed bag.

The album is flawlessly produced. Mick
co-produced six of the album's nine tracks
with hip-hop producer Bill Laswell, and the
album's overall sound seems to reflect this
collaboration, Most of the tracks are
energetic dance numbers that successfully
fuse thythm and blues, reggae, pop and
rock influences, Their closest cousin in
Rolling Stones music is probably Under-
cover’s “Too Much Blood.” However,
She's the Boss sound is clearly
distinguishable from that of the Rolling
Stones, The most important distinction is
that these songs do not suggest, as so many
Stones numbers do, the image of a band
performing them live in the studio,
mistakes often intact. These songs are slick-
ly polished and feature layers of studio
wizardry, Most of any possible similarity is
in the vocals.

The featured musicians include Jeff
Beck, Pete Townshend, Herbie Hancock,
Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, and
Chic’s Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers.
Among these Beck is the most prominent.
He handles lead guitar through most of the
album with a brilliantly unique, muddled
sound recurrently suggestive of his solo in
Rod Stewart's Infatuation, Although it's
harder to discern the individual efforts of
the rest of the crew, the total effect of so
much talent is stirring, to say the least. In
addition to coming very close to perfect
production and musicianship, She's the
Boss features some of the most powerful
vocals Mick Jagger has ever delivered.

She's the Boss has some drastic short:
comings, however. Most of the songs
sound incomplete, containing a strong
hook without a concrete melody, so Mick

is often just shouting in synchrony with a
riff. Even the rare middle-eights don't offer
telief to the monotony, as these are mostly
riffs as well, Mick wrote six of the songs by
himself and two with Carlo Alomar, arid
the absence of half of the Jagger-Richards
songwriting team is sorely obvious. Struc-
turally, She's the Boss’ songs pale in com-
parison with Stones material. By the way,
it's not too ironical that the remaining tune
is one of the most melodious. Lonely at the
Top is actually credited to Jagger-Richards.

Primarily suffering from riff-itis, She's
the Boss ails at times from the secondary
infection of over-conventionality, Just
‘Another Night is perhaps the most
mainstream pop tune Jagger has ever lent
his voice to. This*one features decent
Spanish guitar breaks a la Beck and a lavish
piano section, but as a whole takes no
chances, It’s listenable but blatantly
unstimulating. Of course, because it reeks
so much of accessability to the Top-40
market, it had to be the album's promo-
tional single. Just Another Night is just
another pop song.

Lucky In Love is also contemporary, but
Mick's vocals are very intense and Beck
lets loose throughout the entire song. This
tune equates love with horse racing and Las
Vegas roulette. This idea is depicted on the
album sleeve as Mick’s companion slips on
her clothes while the TV frames a close
shot of the game show Wheel of Fortune.

Lonely at the Top and Hard Woman are
the album’s best tracks, They are also the
most Stonesian of the lot. Lonely at the
Top kicks off the album with a ferocious
bang. Beck executes an effective Ron
Wood lead guitar impression and the song
actually has .a chorus! Hard Woman is a
slow, Angie-type ballad laced with strings

album,

Some of the riffy songs are more ex:
citing. Turn the Girl Loose is a weak song
that is completely salvaged by dynamic
voexals. This reggae-flavored ditty could
have easily been a throwaway, but Jagger's
gut-wrenching, animalistic howls tear this
possibility asunder. The man put more
energy into this screamer than he's put into
any recent Stones song,

‘Surveying his audience, Byme says, ‘Tve

sparse, driving rhythm explodes from the
loudspeakers as Byrne attacks the’ first
chords of “Psycho Killer.” The storm has

So begins Stop Making Sense, the first-
ever coficert film froth the funkiest and
‘most intelligent pop-rock band around, the
Talking Heads.

‘The way you view Stop Making Sense
will depend on your expectations, Relative
to: most other groups and their concert
films, Sense is fabulous, Amazing rock ‘n
roll, intense performances — all the ingre-
dients of a great concert film. Looking at it
from the mainsteam this is probably what
you will see.

But those outside the mainstream, whose
expectations run deeper than the average
moviegoer, will see something else, To
those “Heads heads” (or Heds-heds), for
whom the band means something special,

this film is a let down. Anyone who has
seen the Talking Heads live or appreciates
their talent and intelligence cannot honest-
ly_be satisfied by this film. After: its
brilliant opening; Stop. Making Sense
basically becomes a better-than-most con-

cert film. Many Heads fans, especially—|

artsy-intellectual New York critics “have
tried to make Sense into something more
than this. The bubble must burst, As much
‘as we wish it, Sense just isn’t what it could
be.

David Byrne is one of the most intense
performers around, and he proves it in this
film. He's funny, bizarre, energetic, ex:

pressive and mezmerizing — a rock ‘n roll
spectacle. From the moment he begins
grinding out “Psycho Killer,” to the final
frenetic refrains of “Take Me to the River,”
Byme is spontaneous combustion behind
the microphone.

But outside of his performance, there is
nothing extraordinary about Sense. And if
you've seen the Heads live, you know that
even in this aspect the film falls short.

Intellectually and artistically, neither the
concert nor the filming of it offer enough.
These qualities are among the high points
of the Heads, and if your expectations run
in this direction you will be let down. Ex-

cept for a few shining moments by Byme
and a couple of neat slide shows, we're
witnessing a concert, nothing more.

The rest of the band performs well dur-
ing the concert, but a Heads fan will find
most of it forgettable,

Ultimately, Stop Making Sense is a good
concert movie, But it does not capture the
essence of one of the most unique and
powerful bands. Not the way that The
Kids are Allright captured the essence of
the Who. Not at all. It does capture the
spectacle of David Byrne, but not in any
way that brings together this incredible’
performer with his audience, his band or
‘even his own work.

Albany Symphony thrives

Question: What institution’ in
downtown Albany has recently been get-
ting national recognition? Answer: If you
guessed the State Capitol, you're wrong,
Ws the Albany Symphony Orchestra,

Stacey Kern

Recently, the Albany Symphony Or-
chestra received front page coverage in
The Wall Street Journal for its unique and
successful policy of giving American music
preferential treatment over standard Euro-
pean ‘repertoire. A typical concert at the
Albany Symphony features at least one
work by a popular composer, such as
Mozart, “kethoven, Ravel, Tchaikovsky,
etc., and tw» four selections of works by
American composers. Statistics show that
only six percent of the music played by
major U.S, orchestras today has been writ:
ten by Americans and to many this type of
programming is radical, However, ticket
sales are up ten percent at the Albany Sym-
phony, and Time Magazine recently gave
their new album a favorable review.

The Albany Symphony Orchestra,
which was established in 1930 as the Peo-
ple’s Symphony of Albany, is a parttime
orchestra which draws from various musi
cians. in the community, including
members of the SUNYA faculty. In 1977,
when the orchestra was having financial
uifficulies, local businessman Peter Ker-
mani took over as board president and in-
itiated the present programming policy. In
an effort to generate more enthusiam and
understanding in the community

Vanguard Prevues were started. On the
Thursday before a concert, guest artists
and composers discuss the upcoming,
works and give a short preview at the
Albany Public Library.

Another goal of the Albany Symphony
‘Orchestra is to increase concert attendance
by students. Students can purchase half-
priced tickets one hour before the concert
and seats are practically guaranteed, For
SUNYA students, the Symphony's move
to The Palace Theater is particularly conve
nient since the Wellington bus stops two
blocks away.

This weekend, March 1 and 2, the pro-
gram will be Concerto for Piano and Or.
chestra, No. 3 in d minor, Opus 30 by

Rachmanioff,:Symphony No. 2, Opus 30,

Prize winner and former director of: the
Eastman School of Music, and Prospect:
1983, « described ~ by, .compbser | Hugo
Weisgall ds “fokmally frée, totally abstract,
yet completely of a piece.”

The guest artist is pianist Steven Mayer,
a. winnier of many international competi
tions and has been described as “one of the
‘major pianists of his generation.”

The Albany Symphony Orchestra per-
forms the same concert at Troy Music Hall
on Fridays and at The Palace Theater on
Saturdays. Concert time is at 8 p.m. For

Mask goes right to the heart of a lot of

Bogdanovich is also linked to the
theme of appearances by his tragic love
affair with former Playboy Playmate of
the Year, Dorothy Straten. In fact, the
main reason that the director has not
made a film since They All Laughed (which
co-starred Stratten in 1980), is that he's
spent the better part of the last four
years writing The Killing of the Unicorn

Dorothy's story," says Bogdanovich, “She

Business is booming
at SA’s new test bank

By Peter Sands

Student Association's Test
Bank is doing ‘far better than

its initial costs in the first ten
hours it was open, according to
Academic Affairs Committee
Chair Mike Miller.

The test bank, located nex
to the SA Contact Office in the
Campus Center opened last
week and will remain open for
one month’ on a conditional
basis, said Miller, after which
he will make a recommenda
tion to Central Council to
either continue or drop the pro-
gram. If the program is drop-
ped, the exams may be donated
to the library, said Miller, who
added, ‘It doesn't look like it
will happen though.

Since the test bank opened,
70 different students bought
over 80 packets of exams, he
said, ‘It’s just mushrooming,

‘costs a student around 8 cents a

monies made will be put back
into the Bank, and for a limited
time, the Test Bank is accepting
exams from students and giving
“gift certificates” of an equal
number of free pages to the
number of pages donated.

Miller declined to specify
how long the gift certificates
will be available, except to say
that it probably won't be for
long:

Business at the Test Bank has
been so good that Eric

Many professors are so

have actually sent packets of

Corporate recruiters seeking

liberal arts majors’ versatility

First ofa two-part series

Liberal Arts majors: may not
have the corporate persona many
business majors strive for, but
that doesn't necessarily make
them any less likely to receive job
offers from company recruiters

who visit the University.

For the national
view on this Issue
see page six

‘According to many professors
and career counselors, there are

ny other areas of study that
can well prepare a person for a
career in business. They say that a
liberal arts education,, while
‘scorned by some, is becoming
recognized as an invaluabl® step
towards a successful future,
especially in the business fields,

“A liberal arts graduate can be
very successful. They have
developed good interpersonal
communication skills, and have
been exposed to a broader range
of disciplines, philosophies, and

ideas which will help them
become more adaptable in a
changing world,” said Gardy Van
Soest, director of the Career
Planning and Placement Center.
He added that ‘Many companies
are cognizant of this fact."”

By concentrating on a specific
discipline, and paying little atten-
tion to more people-related sub-
jects, business majors often have
‘a narrow scope of experience,
said Van Soest

Paul Wallace, Acting Dean of
Humanities, agreed, saying,
“Business majors have narrowed
themselves to such a degree, that
frankly, they have become
uninteresting,

Business, according to Wallace,
is essentially a field requiring a
basic knowledge of people, which
a business oriented education
alone does not provide. “A
liberal arts education gives a per-
son a sensitive understanding to
other people and cultures, a view
that is larger than thelr own
