Snow and mud delay construction on ‘Bubble’

By Jeanie Fox

As a result of inclement
weather and other construction-
related delays, construction on
the “Bubble” has been delayed
until March 24, assistant vice-
president for the Physical Plant
Dennis Stevens announced
Thursday.

Once actual construction is
resumed, Stevens said, it will be
approximately another six weeks
before the “‘Bubble’’ is completed
and ready for full use.

Stevens and Athletic Director
Bill Moore met with represen-
tatives from Air Structures
Unlimited, the company reponsi-
ble for inflating the bubble, and

morning, to discuss getting the

Originally scheduled to be built
last summer, the ‘‘Bubble’’ has
been delayed because of a buildup
of snow and mud on the construc-
tion site, Stevens said.

Citing a need to present the
right to have an abortion as a
form of women’s rights,
organizers presented Abortion
Awareness Day in the Campus
Center Wednesday.

The event was held in con-
juction with other presenta-
tions during Defending
Women’s Rights Conference
this week.

As part of the event, The
Silent Scream, a controversial
Right To-Life film, was shown
for the second time this

delivered to the site, Stevens said.

Air Structures Unlimited would
also not begin work on the
$500,000 ‘‘Bubble’”’? until pay-
ment was received for a smaller
“Bubble” recently constructed at
SUNY New Paltz.

Once everything is prepared
prior to inflation, three con-
secutive days of dry, mild weather
will be needed to inflate the
““Bubble’’ because the vinyl dome
of the ‘‘Bubble”’ is less pliable
and more likely to tear in the
cold, Stevens said.

The general consensus
everyone at the meeting was that
it would be foolish to begin con-
struction now and risk damaging
the structure because in six weeks
the “Bubble’’ will not be an aid
to the spring sports anyway since
atheletes will be outdoors.

The “Bubble” at SUNY New
Paltz was begun sooner because
“the SUNYA ‘Bubble’ is bigger
and more sophisticated than the
one constructed at New Paltz
(and) weather in Albany is a bit
harsher than that in New Paltz
during this time of year.’” Stevens

semester at SUNYA. It was
first presented in late January
by the Young Americans for
Freedom (YAF).

Over two hundred people at-
tended the presentation. Ap-
proxmately 15 protestors from
various Right-to-Life groups
protested the presentation
beforehand and then attended
the film.

“Our Bodies, Our Lives,

Our Right to Decide’’, was the
second presentation of Abor-
tion Awareness Day Wednes-
day night and focused on the
history of the fight for con-
traception and legalized
abortion.
According to Camille Danzi,
one of the organizers of The
Silent Scream showing, ‘‘we
wanted to show (The) Silent
Scream to give Planned Paren-
thood the opportunity to
respond.”’

Planned Parenthood
responded by showing two
films: one featuring women
discussing abortion, which was

shown before the Silent
Scream, and an analysis of the
inaccuracies of the film which
was shown afterwards.

A discussion was led after
the films by Ninia Baehr of the
National Abortion Rights Ac-
tion League (NARAL).

Baehr said she felt it was im-
portant to understand thst
there is more than one side of
the story, and that women do
have a choice.

said.

Although the ‘Bubble’ will be
used for athletic training and
practices, it will not be a com-
petitive arena. The “‘Bubble”’ will
house four basketball courts, four
tennis courts, six volletball
courts, and perimeter track, all
recreational facilities.

Intercollegiate Athlectics Com-
mittee (ICAC) chair Mare Rivers,
said he is outraged that the ‘Bub-
ble’-has been delayed for so long.
Rivers said he sent a letter to
Stevens conveying his feelings
that the athletes both need and
deserve to have the ‘Bubble’ con-
structed now.

SSA reps

EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Four representatives of the
recently formed Student Staff
Association (SSA) held an in-
troductory meeting with Assistant
Vice President of Residential Life
John Martone Tuesday, which
both sides agreed was ‘‘extremely
positive’ and “‘productive.””

Because no formal proposals
were made at the meeting, a
follow-up meeting has been
scheduled in which SSA will pre-
sent written proposals, said SSA
representative Robert Krisch, an
RA from Alumni.

“Pm very pleased with the con-

cern towards improving the
residence program,” said Mar-
tone. In particular, he called SSA
concerns regarding communica-
tion and RA input “extremely
positive.’”

Martone said he was willing to
meet directly with SSA represen-
tatives because “‘it’s a wonderful
idea. I’ve told the RA advisory
board the same thing — I’m in
favor of meeting anywhere at
anytime.””

According to Martone, the in-
itial meeting was ‘‘cooperative”’
and he was particularly pleased
that the SSA representatives ‘‘ex-
pressed many of my ideas,” for
improving the residence program.

Mark Turner, an RA from In-

using the hallway (to hold) bat-
ting drills, delays are inex-
cusable,”’ said Rivers.

“There is no reason for the
‘Bubble’ not being up 9 months
after it was promised,’’ Rivers
said. ‘‘Administration shouldn’t
promise. what they can’t deliver.’’

Stevens said he empathized
with Rivers and the atheletes. ‘I
want to see this project completed
just:as much-as:anyone;’’he said.

“Despite what some may
believe, the campus has done as
much as possible to move this
project foward, but there have
been a number of delays that are
beyond our control.’”” Stevens
said.

Moore: said he feels that there

has been a greater need for the
“Bubble” this year because the
gym has been exceptionally
crowded as a result of both the ex-
ceptional cold and the large
number of winter teams still prac-
ticing for playoffs.

Moore said he regrets that
athletes are faced with the in-
convenience.

“Ip past seasons the spring
teams were able to hold some
practices outdoors, | but this.year it,
was just too cold,’”” Moore said.

The fieldhouse, which will cost
an_estimated $12 million, is in the
planning stages now and shouid
be completed by 1989.

Once the fieldhouse is com-
pleted, the ‘‘Bubble”’ will be
removed, Stevens said. Oo

meet with Martone

dian Quad who attended the
meeting, said, ‘‘The meeting was
constructive, but there are still
things that have to be worked
out.””

‘He (Martone) seemed to be
very supportive to some of the
concerns of the RAs,’’ said
Turner. ‘‘We tried to convey to
him that the’ group is not a
union.”

According to Turner, SSA
wants to make a positive rather
than negative impact. ‘“The
reason we feel we should be con-
sulted,” he said, is “‘the fact RAs
can channel new ideas.””

Krisch described the meeting as
“very positive. I can only say
good things about it.’”

“Tt was a general meeting to in-
troduce ourselves,”’ said Krisch.

“1 thought he (Martone) was
100 percent behind us,” said
Krisch, ‘‘He turned out to be sur-
prisingly supportive.’”

As far as a formal linkage bet-
ween SSA and Residential Life,
Krisch said, ‘“‘We are not
recognized by Residential Life.
He (Martone) can’t do anything
until we have a follow-up meeting
and submit written proposals.”

Martone came to the defense of
the RA advisory board, which has
been under criticism from RAs
for not being effective. ‘‘I’m very
supportive of the RA advisory

board,” he said. He added that
there are many hardworking RAs
on the board and their work has
not gone unappreciated.

“T think some of the concerns
with the advisory board are
legitimate,”’ said Martone. If SSA
can present a better representa-
tion of RA feelings, that will be
“tremendous,” he said.

According to Martone, SSA is
much different than the Coalition
of Resident Assistants (CORA),
which tried to form an RA group
last year.

Martone praised SSA as a
group that wants ‘“‘ar better
residence program.’’ CORA,
however, was a ‘“‘political crea-
tion’’ trying to promote ‘‘selfish”’
interests, he said.

NEWS BRIEFS—

The World 4

India suspects Sikhs

New Dehli, India
(AP) Press Trust of India quoted uniden-
tified official sources Thursday as saying
an inquiry determined “that a terrorist
bomb concealed in the piece of baggage”’
exploded in the forward cargo hold of the
Boeing 747 as the plane flew 31,000 feet
over the ocean.

Indian officials said earlier that they
suspected Sikh terrorists taking advantage
of lax airport security, planted the bomb
aboard the plane last June 23 in Montreal,
where the Bombay bound flight
originated. The jetliner was headed for an
interim stop in London when it went
down.

On the same day, a bomb exploded in
luggage that had been unloaded from a
Canadian Pacific Air jetliner after a flight
from Vancouver, British Columbia, to
Tokyo. Two baggage handlers were killed.
The luggage had been destined for transfer
to an Air India plane en route to New
Delhi.

Budget angers Soviets

Moscow
(AP) The Soviet news agency Tass Thurs-
day accused President Reagan of using
anti-Soviet slander and ‘‘confronationist
rhetoric” to justify his request for a $320
billion defense budget.

‘At a time when the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union from the rostrum of its
27th Party Congress is appealing the
reason and conscience of all mankind in
the name of ending the arms
race...Washington has openly proclaimed
the intention of going ahead with its
militarist course,’’Tass said.

On Wednesday night, Reagan said it
would be “reckless, dangerous and
wrong’’ for Congress to cut his requested
defense budget saying that ‘‘could fatally
compromise our negotiation position’ in

arms reduction talks with the Soviet
Union.
Another Tass commentary said

Washington does not think it needs better
international relations, and that Reagan is
trying to take an unacceptable approach to
the issue of missiles in Europe.

“J reiterated the statement several

with NASA officials at Cape Canaveral,
said Robert Glaysher, vice president of
Rockwell International.

Testifying before a presidential commis-
sion, Glaysher said, ‘‘We felt that we had
communicated Rockwell’s position that it
was unsafe to fly.‘*

Neither Glaysher nor any other senior
Rockwell officials who testified were asked
immediately what response they received
from NASA officials when they registered
their objections.

Soviet satellite falls

Colorado Springs, Colorado
(AP) A Soviet satellite broke up as it
plunged into the Earth’s atmosphere
Thursday over Australia and at least two
chunks of debris continued in orbit before
falling into the Atlantic Ocean, U.S.

Insurance pool formed

Albany
(AP) The State Insurance Department says
it has helped arrange liability insurance for
30 small municipalities around the state
unable to get coverage on.their own.

Several insurance companies agreed
Wednesday to form a pool to provide the
coverage to the municipalities, Insurance
Department spokesman Kevin Foley said
Thursday. Foley said that the state In-
surance Superintendent James Corcoran
asked the companies to provide the
coverage.

Foley said that the municipalities were
unable to get renewals on their liability
coverage when their policies expired Dec.
31. Some received policy extentions until
now with help from the Insurance Depart-
ment and others went without insurance
coverage, he said.

The new liability policies will in many
cases cost the municipalities substantially
higher premiums, have new exclusions
and provide less inswrance protection,
Foley said.

Soldier killed on base

on himself, Bollinger said. Brick’s
hometown was listed as Melrose, Minn.

Cox died during surgery at the House of
the Good Samaritan Hospital in Water-

condition at Mercy Hospital in Water-

Groups that have bank accounts with
Student Assocation (SA) will no longer be
receiving their interest revenue after July
1, 1986, as a result of a bill passed by Cen-
tral Council Wednesday.

The bill passed 19 to 6 with two absten-
tions. For a bill to pass, there must be 18
votes, or a two-thirds majority.

“(Student Association] provides services
to run the accounts. It seems only fair that
we should be able to keep interest on the

money we oversee—especially in light of E

the present budget deficit of SA,” said SA
President Steve Gawley.

According to SA Controller Eric
Schwartzman, there are a total of about 20
agency accounts that will be affected. ““‘We
work as banker for these accounts,’’ said
Schwartzman.

Class Councils are an example, he said,
of accounts kept mostly for control
purposes.

“It takes two signatures to get
vouchers,’’ he said. One signature would
have to be from the group and the other
would be his own. Class Councils have stu-
dent leaderships and large accounts with
SA.

Schwartzman said he is holding the
money for groups such as the Disabled
Van Fund, The Albany Student Press,
University Photo Service, Telethon, the
Accounting Club, and Five Quad Am-
bulance. These groups are recognized, but
not funded by SA.

“The costs for running an agency ac-
count are greater than the interest any
group received, ‘* Schwartzman said. ‘‘I’m
paying for their service and in turn they’re
getting free checking.”

Before an amendment to the bill was ac-
cepted, the original bill would have taken
affect retroactively back to July 1, 1985.
However, at the meeting, Vice Chair of In-

Central Council has been meeti
get more student input.

ternal Affairs Steve Landis said ‘‘that [it]
would be a breach of contract because
groups place their money in good faith
with SA.”

“Going back and retroactively taking
the money is wrong. It can only be an
unethical, cheap, petty...slimeball move,”
said Academic Affairs Chair Michael
Miller at the meeting. He subsequently
motioned for the amendment.

Miller said he voted no because there

was no prior consultation with the groups
involved and there should have been.
“There are some things you provide for
free,”’ said Miller. He added that many of
the groups involved are non-profit
organizations and shouldn’t really be

After the meeting, Schwartzman said
that Telethon would lose approximately
$160.

“These groups give SA a percentage of
the interest already,’’ said Miller. ‘‘We
weren’t given all the information as I
understand it,”” added Miller who is also
an officer of Class Council 86.

Student Community co-chair Lynn
Livanos said she decided to vote ‘yes’ for-
the bill since it was amended to exclude
this year’s accounts. ‘‘The bill came up for
financial reasons to bring SA out of the
red,’” she said.

Student Action chair Larry Hartman
said he voted ‘no’ on the bill “because a

liot of the groups that are recognized and

~ Jnot funded are getting the short end of the

stick. They should be the ones getting the
interest.””

Finance Committee Chair Larry
Wasserman said some of the services SA
provides to agency accounts are accurate
accounting procedures and checkwriting
facilities.

“It is costing us enough that we thought
we would be reimbursed,” said“ Wasser-
man. ‘‘Most agency accounts didn’t know
they were getting this interest,’’ he said.
“T feel that SA should provide that ser-
vice to the groups,”’ said John Giarrusso,
Dutch Quad representative of Council.
“The groups have enough on their hands
as a governing body we should-perform
these functions,”’ he said.

Giarrusso, who voted against the bill,

said of the effect, ‘‘it will make a very
small dent [in SA’s deficit] at the very
least.”
Wasserman said the money will go into
SA operating. “‘It will be up to the group if
they want to go outside the university and
earn interest,’’ he said.

Seven new Central Council members
were given the oath of office at Wednes-
day’s meeting.

SA Supreme Court Justice Jyoti
Balakrishna administered the oath to
Aaron Geller, Eric Holzberg, Steve
~Kaplan, Steve Lidsky, Jennifer Manner,
Jeff Myers, and Karen Seymourian.

Holzberg called his first meeting, which
was held at Colonial Quad “‘exciting and
interesting.’’ He added, ‘‘the quad made it
difficult to hear and organize.”’

“The Quad was not conducive to
holding a meeting,”” said Central Council
chair Bill McCann.

“Tt was a little more noisy on the quads,
but well worth the effort of going,”’ said
Gawley. 0

Hairat condemns Afghan invasion by Soviets

By Pam Conway
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Describing his experiences as an Afghan
refugee, Dr. Abdullah Moheb Hairat
warned a group of about 35 people
gathered in BA 209 last Tuesday “‘not to
believe in friendship with the Soviet Union
because you don’t know the meaning of
it.”

Hairat spoke at a lecture entitled ‘‘Ask
an Afghan About Soviet Peace’’, which
was co-sponsored by the SUNYA chapters
of the Young Americans for Freedom
(YAF) and the College Republicans.

Because of its geographical location,
Hairat said, Afhanistan has always been
“susceptable to foreign invasion.’’ The
Soviet Union invaded the country in 1979.

Because of what he described as the
“murder and massacre”’ of the Soviet in-
vasion, Hiarat said that he fled from his
native country about six years ago to
Pakistan, and came to the United States

two years ago.

Hairat likened the Soviet Union to the
foot of an elephant which “‘steps on and
smashes everything that lies under it.’? and
spoke of the Soviet Union’s ‘‘devilish im-
perialistic poicies.””

There are currently several groups of
Muslim ‘‘freedom fighters’’ in
Afghanistan who employ guerilla warfare
against Soviet troops there, Hairat said ,
adding that he felt that the United States is
not doing enough to aid the Afghan
people.

During the lecture, a member of the au-
dience who also identified himself as an
Afghan refugee, Mohammad Anwarzai,
echoed Hairat’s words, saying “‘our people
are fighting with bare hands and empty
stomachs.”

A change in themes will effect a more
political focus on the Fifth Annual World
Week which begins Monday, according to
World Week co-chair Barbara
Schoonmaker.

This year’s new theme will be “An Ex-
ploration of Human Understanding.”
While the theme of the previous four
World Weeks was “‘A Celebration of Our
Diversity.”

The concentration of this year’s World
Week will focus on three major areas of in-
terest—South Africa and Apartheid, Cen-
tral America, and World Hunger.

‘We needed to look at some issues in a
little more depth,’? said Schoonmaker,
recalling the broad scope of last year’s pro-
gram. “These are the situations that need-
ed our focus at this time.”

“The main emphasis of World Week,”’
said SUNYA’s Director of Research and
Educational Development, “‘is to help
students and the Albany community to ac-

“Every day’’, Anwarzai said, ‘450 peo-
ple are killed by the Russians. They are
destroying crops and burning villages.””

Anwarzai said that the Soviet Union is
following a pattern of expansionism that
can be traced back to the Czars’ desire to
reach warm-water ports in the south. He
added that Afghani freedom fighters are
limited by a lack of sophisticated
weaponry.

Also speaking at the event was Bernice
Avisa, chair of the Albany Chapter of the
Captive Nations’ Committee (CNC), a no-
tional organization whose purpose is to
“educate people about the problems of
people held captive by communist
nations’’.

Avisa labelled Soviet communism ‘‘a

Politics to be focus of World Week

quire a better understanding of different
cultures and international issues.”’

- According to Schoonmaker,there are
nearly 700 international students from 80
different countries here at SUNYA, many
of whom will be represented during this
week. oy

World Week co-chair Frank Carrino
said that this multi-approach to three
specific areas is expected to reach all parts
of the student population.

Even if people do not feel directly af-
fected by the situations in South Africa
and Central America, World Hunger ap-
plies to a problem right here in our coun-
try, Carrino said.

Much encouragement has been given to
the general Albany community to par-
ticipate in this year’s World Week, as well
said World Week co-chair Margaret
Aldrich. ‘‘Outside organizations will oc-
cupy many of the tables at the Ethnic
Block Party to be held in the Lecture

threat to the entire world,”’ citing previous
Soviet invasions of countries in Eastern
Europe such as Hungary.

“‘What have we (the United States) done
since the invasion of Afghanistan?”’ asked
Avisa, who said that the U.S. government
has not done enough about the situation
there. ‘‘We have to face up to them,’’ she
said.

YAF president Rich Schiotis said that he
was “‘shocked’’ by reports of Afghan
children who are brought to the Soviet
Union and indoctrinated in the ‘ways cf
communism. ‘‘They are brainwashed to
run the country (Afghanistan) because
there is no support for the Soviet Union in
Afghanistan,”’ he said.

Also, a poster contest with the topic of
“World Hunger’’ has been going on in the
Albany Public Schools, said Aldrich.

“We've already had more han 600
posters contributed,” she said, adding ‘‘a
truckload (came in) just the other day.

Aside from the Ethnic Block Party and
Keynote Speakers, events of special in-
terest to students, Schoonmaker said will
be the Multi-Cultural Talent Show to be
held on Friday, at 7:30 p.m. in th PAC
recital hall, and the International Concert
in Page Hall at 8:00 p.m. that Saturday.

According to Schoonmaker, a full
schedule of events is available at the Cam-
pus Center Information Desk. Students
are urged to participate in what promises
to be an enlightening week.

“This is an excellent opportunity for
students to take advantage of these very
special topics and people,’’ Schoonmaker
said. 0

International clubs build bridges across
gulfs, fostering multi-cultural awareness

By Hillary Fink
STAFF WRITER

To help bridge the gap between
American and foreign cultures,
the international clubs at SUNYA
hold various activities which
foster the sharing of cultures.

According to Student Associa-
tion Programming Director Betty
Ginzburg, the most important
purpose of these organizations is
“to continue the people’s cultural
background when they leave their
home, It is a group of people who
they can immediately affiliate
with.”

Cultural groups can also serve
those students at Albany who
may never meet someone from
another culture, and who may
want to learn what other cultures
have to offer, Ginzberg said.

Henry Akwo Elonge, President
of the African Student Associa-
tion, said his organization’s main
purpose is to “‘bring all of us
(African students) together so we
can project the true image about
Africans intellectually and socio-
culturally. The group also fosters
an understanding between

African students and the other
students of the University to
educate and inform them about
Africa,”’ he said.

The Pan Caribbean Associa-
tion is “basically a cultural club,
to make people aware of the
Caribbean culture,’’ said Jack
Fraites, president of the group.
“It is also an educational instru-
ment, and is also politically
oriented on campus,” although
right now the political action sec-
tion is inactive, she said.

Fuerza Latina President Niurka
Pion said, ‘‘the main thing that
we do is to try to educate the peo-
ple about what Hispanic is
about. . .we try to educate the
people about us, what we really
are.””

The Irish Club, on the other
hand, is ‘‘very social,’? according
to Assisant Director of Student
Activities Peg Aldrich. They have
meetings, which they try to keep
open, but ‘‘more activities are
oriented towards, (being
social). . .They bring Irish bands
and try to cater to the needs and
wants of the group, and bring in

the traditional American student,
said Aldrich.

Rodoula Demetriades, Presi-
dent of the Greek and Cypriot
Student Association said, ‘‘the
purpose of our organization is to
bring together the Greek and
Cypriot students of SUNY, to
meet once in a while and talk
about our country, and to try to
introduce Cypriot and Greek
culture to American peo-
ple. . . Unfortunately, things are
not going very well this year.””

According to SA Controller
Eric Schwartzman, the organiza-
tion is inactive and their budget
has been frozen.

“T think (cultural groups) make
students that share that
background feel more comfor-
table here,” said Director of Stu-
dent Activities Jessica Casey. “I
think it helps the rest of the stu-
dent body become more aware of
the diversity of the campus, and
educates them about cultures that
are not their own,”’ she said. “It’s
like education that happens out-
side of the classroom. It adds to

SOS to advance Danes’ spirit

By Tom Bergen
STAFF WRITER

A new student group ‘‘Save Our Spirit and Sup-
port Our Sports’’ (SOS) is looking for ways to in-
crease school spirit at SUNYA by promoting the
school’s athletic teams.

SOS is an outgrowth of Central Council’s Inter-
collegiate Athletics Committee (ICAC) and was
created ‘‘to find out why there’s a lack of school
spirit at SUNYA, define it, and attack it,” accor-
ding to ICAC Chair Mark Rivers.

‘‘We have one of the most successful Division III
athletic programs in the country and we want to
find out why students don’t go to games and why
they aren’t as proud of our sports program,”’ said
Rivers.

Some problems which the group plans to in-
vestigate include low attendance at games, lack of
alumni and community participation in the athletic
program and low publicity for the teams, Rivers
said.

Members of SOS include all 16 member of
ICAC, which is made up of students, faculty, staff
and athletic department members, as well as alumni
representatives, local media and Student Assoca-
tion (SA) officials.

ICAC member John Giarrusso said, ‘Sports
here is not the thing to do”’ and one of the goals of
the committee is to make game attendance ‘‘a
socially more attractive thing to do.”

One of the ideas Giarrusso said he is looking into
is painting the floor of the fountain purple, with a
gold paw at one end.

“The best way to get to people is visually and ina
place that’s surrounded by white concrete it will
stand out and help give the school identity,”’ he
said.

Central Council Chair Bill McCann, a member of
SOS, said there is “ a direct line’ between athletics
and school spirit and to increase ‘“‘we have to get
people to go to games.””

One problem facing SOS, said Rivers is “the ad-
ministration’s failure to make sports publicity a top
priority.”

While the post of Sports Information Director is
a full-time position at the other three SUNY
University Centers, it is only a part-time one at
SUNYA, said Rivers. ‘“‘And then we wonder, why
don’t we see as many stories in the press.””

SUNYA Sports Information Director Vince Reda
said the athletic program is ‘“‘crying out for full-
time attention.”

“When we have a university that sends eight
sports to post-season play it is not a part-time
athletic program,”’ Reda said.

Referring to the athletic program, Reda said “‘the
product is very entertaining and we should get more
support on the campus, we just have to get them

down to the game and it will become more of a
habit.”’

“A lot of the school spirit and support for
athletics has to come from the top and we don’t see
that,”’ said Rivers, adding that he has never seen
President O’ Leary at one basketball game.

O'Leary, however, said he has been to the school
basketball games. The university has a decent
amount of school spirit. A lot of Albany spirit is
found at different places within the school, like the
quads and the groups,’ said O’Leary.

SA Programming Director Betty Ginzburg, a
member of the SOS committee, said one of the
goals of the group is to ‘‘broadcast information in
an exciting way to increase school spirit.””

NEWS UPDATES

Class of ’86 to donate sign

The Class of ’86 has begun a pledge drive to raise
$20,000 for a new signat the Washington Avenue
entrance, according to senior volunteer Debbie
Butlien.

The ‘‘Sign of the Times”’, will be a class gift from
the seniors to ‘‘give something back to the school,”
said Butlien.

Over 300 volunteers are working to get $100
pledges from students, said Butlien. Organizers
hope to have all the pledges in before spring break;
and two ‘‘phone-a-thons’’ are planned.for April to
make sure all the seniors are contacted, added
Butlien.

According to Butlien, although a $100 pledge
sounds like a lot, actual payment will be. due by
May of 1987 and an installment plan is under
consideration .

SASU forms statewide student lobby network

By Harvard Winters

The Student Association of the
State University (SASU) Has
formed a Legislative Action Com-
mitee (LAC), which will keep
students informed on current
issues and unify them into a more
effective lobbying power, accor-
ding to SASU Legislative Director
Justin Hixson.

According to Hixson, the LAC
program was created this semester
and bears some resemblance to
the *‘Commitee of 100’’, which

LAC has replaced.

The differece between LAC
and the “Committee of 100’ is
that LAC will focus on students
who would not otherwise be in-
volved in student activism. ‘‘The
idea is to get students involved in
the legislative process who
wouldn’t normally get involv-
ed,’’Hixson said.

The emphasis is not on the
organization of student activists,
said Hixson.

According to Shelley Wilsey, of

THEM
DIFFERENCE

By

SASU’s Legislative Department,
students who fill out application
forms for LAC will have their
names and addresses kept on file
at SASU, and will either be con-
tacted through mailings or phone
calls as issues come up.

LAC registrants will be mailed
information packets containing
information on effective lobbying
techniques, analysis of student
issues, and tips on better letter-
writing.

Students who join LAC could
be asked to lobby key ‘‘swing
positions’ such as certain state
senators, who represent the
voting district in which their
university is located. However,
Hixson emphasized, phone calls
to organize lobbyists would be us-
ed strictly in emergencies.

Hixson said he would like to
limit informational mailings to
students so that these mailings
will not be regarded as ‘‘junk
mail’’.

According to SUNYA SASU
delegate Nathaniel Charny, LAC
has not yet been mobilized at
SUNYA. Charny said he feels
that a key to LAC’s success will
be the motivation of students
behind particular issues.

“*No matter what, you still need
people to be motivated to make
this work...or nothing will hap-
pen,’’ Charny said.

It is improtant that large
numbers of students contact their
state legislators, said Charny.
Numbers of students are needed
because there are many lob-
byists’’, said Charny. If only a
few students speak out, there is
really no effect on legislative out-
comes, he said.

Lars Isaacson, Regional Coor-
dinator for SASU, said he feels
that students are often poorly in-
formed on issues which directly
affect them, and specifically those
at the federal level, such as the
Gramm-Rudman Act.

Hixson said that, ‘‘students are
willing to be involved, but the in-
formation isn’t always there.’’
LAC should help alleviate this
problem, he said.

Larry Hartman, another of
SUNYA’s SASU delegates, said
that the LAC program hasn’t
been formally established at
SUNYA.

Hartman said that few state
universities have a political ad-
vocacy group. Universities which
don’t have a student advocacy
group definitely need one to
speak for student rights, he said.

“Lobbying tactics are effec-
tive,” said Hartman, “but they
are even more effective when they
receive media attention.”

“If you lobby, it is a direct
communication, but it is also
limited in scope. If you capture
media attention... you also get
public opinion on your side,”
Hartman said.

“If you lobby, it is a
direct communication,
but it is also limited in

scope.’”’

SUNYA’s endowment fund yields
little income for Univ., student aid

By Rachel Braslow
STAFF WRITER

Although a considerable number of prominent
figures are SUNYA alumni, the SUNYA endow-
ment fund is not considered a major source of in-
come, according to Sorrell Chesin, Associate Vice
President for University Affairs.

Total funds gererated by endowment holdings
are currently about $125,000 a year, said Chesin,
which is ‘‘not very much in the way of endowment
funds.””

According to Chesin, SUNYA receives endow-
ment money from two major sources. First, dona-
tions from alumni totals about $500,000 which
generates approximately $50,000 in interest per year
for the school.

Some SUNYA alumni who have achieved success
include Saul Rubenstein, president of Kay-Bee toy
stores; Judy Auner, head of the Women’s Division
of the State of New York; and actor Harold Gould,
who played Rhoda’s father on the television show
Rhoda.

Many political figures were also once SUNYA
students. New York Assemby Members Richard
Wesley, Anthony Casale and Clarence Rappleyea;
New York State Senators Hugh Farley and Martin
Soloman; and San Francisco City Supervisor
Harvey Milk, a gay activist who was assassinated in
1978 are all SUNYA alumni.

Another source of funds is the Benevolent
Associaton of SUNYA, which is an organization
“similar to a foundation in that it is involved in
philanthropy but specifically for SUNYA.” said
Chesin.

The Benevolent Association, according to
Chesin, was originally an organization designed to
house SUNY students. In: the 1960’s, it sold
residence halls on Alumni Quad to the State of New
York for about one million dollars, said Chesin.

The total interest from the association’s fund is
approximately $75,000 a year, Chesin said, which is
then “‘invested with the income denoted specifically
to student aid,’’ because it is ‘‘required by their
charter that any support they give go to SUNYA.””

Although SUNYA’s endowment funds are not
large in comparison to other schools, Chesin said,
“at big, private, prestigious schools, endowments
are crucial. We’re a public university. State tax
money underwrites the major portion of educa-
tional expense.’’

For example, said Chesin, SUNYA students pay
$1,350 in tuition when the actual cost is ‘‘probably
$10,000.” Private schools must make up this dif-
ference through endowments, while state univer-
sities can use tax money, he said.

However, Chesin said that SUNY Buffalo has an
unusually large endowment fund because it was
originally a private college, called the University of
Buffalo.

In the 1960’s, the school was on the verge of
financial Bankruptcy so it was compelled to Join the
SUNY system.

According to Chesin, SUNY Stony Brook’s new
medical center will be well-positioned to attract en-
dowment support while SUNY Binghamton’s en-
dowment resources remain fairly close to SUNYA’s
in dollar marks.

contraception,

Chesin said that when large contributions are
made to the University endowment fund, a specific
name and purpose is given to that fund.

Some of these at SUNYA include the Christopher
Decorier, Foseleck, and Herb Walther funds.

According to Chesin, a named fund can be made
for as little as $10,000. : o

Successful alumni
endow millions to

their alma maters

(AP) Steel was the key to Carnegie-Mellon’s
good fortune. At Vassar, it was beer. And a few
years ago, Coca-Cola made things go much bet-
ter at Emory University.

This month, Oberlin College will be singing the
praises of aluminun — the metal that helped turn
this small Ohio school into one of the nation’s
wealthiest liberal arts colleges.

A century ago, in February 1886, a 22-year-old
Oberlin-trained chemist named Charles Martin
Hall solved a mystery that had baffled scientists
for years — how to separate aluminum ore from
bauxite cheaply enough to make the metal com-
mercially useful.

Under the guidance of Oberlin chemistry pro-
fessor Frank Fanning Jewett, Hall discovered
that electricity was the key to producing
economical aluminum. The process launched an
entire new industry, and Hall went on to make a
fortune as a founder of the $fant Aluminum Co.
of America — ALCOA.

In gratitude to the school that nurtured him as
a young chemist, Hall left Oberlin $16 million
after his death in 1914. The school now calculates
that nearly half its hefty $161.7 million endow-
ment can be traced to the Hall bequest.

Aluminum also meant eventual prosperity to
Berea College in Kentucky. Hall bequested some
$5 million to that school where his sister taught.
A science classroom building on campus still
bears Hall’s name.

Oberlin this month will commemorate Hall’s
achievement with a series of events including a
demonstration of the experiment that led to
Hall’s process.

Oberlin’s jubilation over its “aluminum an-
niversary’’ serves as a reminder of the sometimes
surprising sources of wealth that many other col-
leges and universities have tapped over the years.

Steel, of course, was behind what is now
prestigious, prosperous Carnegie-Mellon Univer-
sity. In 1900, steel magnate Andrew Carnegie
spent $2 million to found the school’s ancestor,
“Carnegie Technical Schools” in Pittsburgh.

A beer baron created Vassar College 125 years
ago. Matthew Vassar, a Poughkeepsie, N.Y.,
brewer, spent half his fortune, $408,000, to
found one of the nation’s first women’s liberal
arts colleges, It went coed in 1968.

as well as the rest of the world.

She described

tion, said Baehr.

The anti-abortion amend-

ment would lead to women be-
ing fired from jobs and
students being suspended from
school, said Baehr.
Nathanson said that in 1963,
100,000 women had abortions
when in actuality
demographers cite figures of no
less than 200,000 and as high as
two million, said Baehr.

Baehr added that it is im-
probable that the number of
abortions rose significantly
since abortion was legalized.

About 70 people attended
the second presentation where
about six members of the
Albany State Christian
Fellowship protested.

Debra Plaskin, Director of
Community Services for Upper
Hudson Plannned Parenthood,
opened the seminar with a
short lecture on the history of

contracetption as ‘‘one of the
oldest and ironically one of the
youngest subjects’’, an old sub-
ject because contraceptive
methods date back to the An-
cient Egyptians, but a new sub-
ject because ‘‘there is still a lot
to learn (about contracep-
tion),”” she said.

Plaskin then introduced a
film about Magaret Sanger,
founder of The American Birth

* Control League, which is now

the Plannned Parenthood
Federation of America
(PPFA).

The film was a biographical
account of Sanger’s life and
work, including her travels to
Holland to witness the first
legal abortion clinics, her fight
to implement family planning
clinics in the U.S., and her goal
“to bring about the virtual
elimination of unwanted
pregancy in the United States,””

After the film, Louise
Haberman, the organizer of the
Woinen’s National Abortion
Action Coalition (WONAAC),
sax’ “We will never go back,”

dc. ng that the days of illegal
abortion, forced pregnancy
and “‘the pain of raising a child
they couldn’t afford to raise
(must) never happen again.’’

Gail Catlin, Director of
Public Affairs of the Upper
Hudson Planned Parenthood,
said to the audience that her
organization had problems in
its attempts to open an abor-
tion clinic in downtown
Albany,

Despite protests from local
clergy and other anti-choice

Taking interest

Central Council
Wednesday night

quickly passed a_ bill
that seemed relatively
harmless: several Student Association
recognized groups will -have the interest
payments on their accounts withheld, starting
with the upcoming fiscal year. The bill was
however, far from harmless to two groups in
particular, whose ‘interests’ were apparently
overlooked by Council.

The measure only affects SA’s agency
accounts; that is, only those groups who
generate their own income and use SA as a
bank.

In pushing the bill, SA was guilty of
instituting the same style of across-the-board
cuts that student leaders have consistently
condemned when done by the federal or state
government. Earlier this year, student leaders
strongly criticized the federal Gramm-Rudman
bill because it would have blindly cut funds
without examining who or what would be
affected. On Wednesday night, Central
Council, following the lead of SA’s executive
officers, committed the same sin.

Instead of analyzing which group could most
afford a cut, Council decided to pass a
sweeping measure that will affect all of SA’s
agency accounts, some of which could
probably handle the loss of interest payments.
But the Five Quad Ambulance service and
Telethon, while they could probably afford the
loss, shouldn’t have to.

Each provides a valuable service to the
community; Five Quad could probably have
put the $200 that will be withheld to better use
than will the next SA controller, for whom that
money will be just an extra few dollars to play
with. The amount SA will receive from
Telethon is a little lower than what Five Quad
will lose — about $160 or so — but this is far
more significant to Telethon than it is to Five
Quad.

To Telethon, every dollar counts. They go all
out for even the smallest fund-raising event, so
that before the Telethon itself rolls around
they’ve already raised a substantial sum of
money. The $160 SA plans to take equals a lot
of doughnut sales. Is this how SA shows its
support for a worthwhile organization? Is there
really a way that SA, could better spend this
money?

Perhaps this bill wouldn’t have been passed
if some of the affected group leaders were
formally consulted or invited to attend the
meeting. In his never-ending battle to balance
the budget, SA controller Eric Schwartzman
seems to occassionally lose sight of the people
behind the numbers. But Central Council
should know better than to ignore its
constituency.

Council members should have realized that it
was wrong to make a hasty decision without
considering interests other than SA’s. Council
can make partial amends by exempting
Telethon from this bill; it should serve as
support from Council to the fund-raising
group.

This support might make up for SA’s
increasing selectivity. SA seems willing to offer
its extensive services to its funded groups, but
not to recognized groups. True, the services SA
offers do not always pay for themselves, but
SA is a service organization. It has a duty to
distribute its services equally. A group such as
Telethon should be entitled to at least some
services from SA — funded groups get much
more. In other instances, SA offers services,
such as their legal services, at no cost to all
students. SA is willing to absorb that cost. It
shouldn’t stop short of providing a valuable
service to a worthy organization. This plan will
only earn SA about $1,000 — a small price for
them to pay in the interest of fairness.

Paths and Poverty

Since 1980 the city of Ayacucho has suffered immense-
ly from the violence initiated by the terrorist group
known by the name of Sendero Luminoso (shining path)
and also by the armed. forces who have become impatient
with this terrorist group. There have been many victims
but the ones that are rarely talked about are the children
who have either lost a parent through death or the child
was simply left behind when his-her family fled the city.

Martin Sanchez-Rojas

Many people would surely acknowledge, today, that
Ayacucho is one of the most devastated regions in Latin
America. For centuries Ayacucho had the distinction of
being the most religious city in Peru, if not all of Latin
America. The over three dozen churches in this city of
30,000 people attest to this fact. Many of these churches
have been destroyed by the dynamites placed in them by
the shining path, who see the Catholic Church as the
ultimate symbol of imperialism and decadence. Ordinary
people who seek to find refuge in the churches have also
been targets, but not by the shining path, but by military
authorities who have viewed all of the peasantry as
belonging to the terrorist group.

The presence of the Shining Path is not at all surpris-
ing. The area in and-around Ayacucho is and has been
one of the most impoverished regions in Peru. Never in-
tegrated into the national whole, it has been neglected for
centuries. The policies promulgated by the central
government in Lima never considered Ayacucho. This of
course. led to minor insurrections in the 1960’s at the
height of the Che Guevara revolutionary frenzy. Many of
the soldiers who fought the “‘guerrilleros”” in Ayacucho
for the first time realized how ‘‘Fuedal” the region was.
Ayacucho, along with the region of Puno, became the
most lucrative region for finding “‘empleadas’’ servants,
who would work in the large cities, especially Lima, for
practically nothing. In many cases the parents of these
children were bribed or simply sold their children. The
dilemma today is very disturbing; on the on hand the
“supply’’ of children is still available for servitude, but
the economic situation does not permit to have another

mouth to feed or clothe. So where do these children end
up. Many orphanages have been created in the last ten
El especially since the guerrilla activities intensified in

In Ayacucho, one tends to find the largest orphanages,
filled with children, victims of a war which they don’t
understand. The conditions under which they live at best
can be called “‘one day at a time’’. Pessimism overrides
the optimism of the children and the adults who are there
to help the children. This region is still under a state of
emergency and those who are in Lima and want to come
to Ayacucho are often discouraged by the authorities or
by the sensationalized stories in the Lima tabloids.

Many of the children who cannot find room in the or-
phanages are desperate enough to leave Ayacucho and
somehow make it to Lima. Many hitch a ride with truck
drivers who are making their way to Lima. In Lima many
of these children fill the ranks of the homeless and beg-
gars. The most indignant aspect of all this that many of
these children have become prostitutes for the rich. They
are seen in the most affluent neighborhoods of Lima.
Children as young as six years old are seen walking the
Gran Avenida Lorca in the middle of the night. These
children in many cases are Protected by the older children
and adults. But many are not.

What is the future of these children? In the Andean
region where they live, they suffer form malnutrition,
tuberculosis, and a war they can neither stop nor run
away from. In Lima, these children suffer the wrath of
“human fulfillment”? and other urban diseases.

The new government of Alan Garcia Perez is the first
government to address and do something about the suf-
fering of the children of Peru. The newly founded Funda-
cion pro Ninos del Peru is the largest relief organization
in Peru. Many homes especially for children are being
built, especially in the area of the Andes much maligned
by the terrorist violence of the Shining Path. Much more
aid is needed in this region where more than 7,000 people
have perished and where more than 100,000 have been
forced to migrate to the the larger cities, Ayacucho does

not have to live up to its Quecha name, ‘‘The corner of
death”’ (Aya-Cucho). Oo

Right here in New York

n the interest of fairness to our own Empire State, Aspects would like to sug-
I gest some of the many vacation spots which SUNYA students may be surpris-

ed to find here in our own backyard.

For starters, you may want to avoid the solidly shaded areas on the map, the ‘im-
portant manufacturing centers.’ These are Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany
(even Bill Kennedy leaves sometimes), and the dreaded metropolitan area. These
places really have nothing spectacular to offer the creativé spring breaker.

For a change of pace, try visiting post-21 Oneonta. Why travel all the way to
Arizona to see a ghost town when New York now has her very own? Since the rais-
ing of the drinking age, the city of Oneonta has literally dried up and blown away.

Similarly, the partying town of Geneseo has undergone radical changes in recent
months. On the above map, Geneseo is partially obscured by the head of a dairy
cow, but don’t let that discourage you from visiting. There is still plenty of
wholesome fun to be had in Geneseo, particularly for those calcium conscious

vacationers.

If you've ever yearned to see row after row of oil wells, don’t go all the way to
Texas. Heck nol Just mosey on over to the New York/Pennsylvania border. Or, if
you have a sweet tooth, head up north where the genuine maple syrup abounds.

With a little imagination, New York State could be the ideal spot for spring
break. Me, I'm going to spend my time in search of this illusive place I’ve heard so

much about... Lawn Guyland.

Cruising first class ,

acationing has never been the same since Captain

Merril Stubing and his crew first set sail in the late

1970's aboard the “Love Boat.” Cruise ships, design-
ed with some similarity to the “floating fun-city” described
on T.V., have sprung up on both the east and west coasts.
The more popular cruise vacations along the east coast
typically begin and end in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area of
Florida and usually spend time exploring the Bahamas or
other Caribbean islands.

Frank Yunker

Most of the cruises are for three, four, or seven day
adventures. The best advice is to plan your vacation well in
advance. The cruise’ lines usually expect an initial deposit
upon signing up, and then the rest of the fare a full 30 to 45
days in advance, depending on the length of the cruise. The
cost of the cruise is dependent on several factors: the length
of the cruise, the type of cabin, and the destination all in-
fluence the price, as well as the cruiseline itself.

Budget-minded students should take a look at the 3 or 4
day cruises. Carnival Cruise Lines and Norwegian Carib-
bean Lines are two that specialize in the shorter holiday ex-

cursions. On these, cabin prices go from just over $300 to
around $700. Additionally, the traveler would have to
figure approximately $200 to get to and from Florida by air.

Longer vacations can be taken aboard the Royal Carib-
bean or Holland American cruise lines. These companies of-
fer 7, 10, or 14 day cruises that travel to Puerto Rico,
Grenada, the Virgin Islands and even South America. Prices
fora 7 day cruise can cost from $500 to over $2,000, depen-
ding on the size and comforts of the cabin. Fourteen day
cruises can range from around $1,500 to just over $3,000,
not including airfare.

The typical cruise includes a greater variety of activities
than any other vacation. On board, there is a swimming
pool, sauna and excercise room, shuffleboard, dancing, sing-
ing and stand-up comedy. As if that weren’t enough, there is
plerity of deck for suntanning or a bar for meeting new
friends or socializing with old ones. Then, there are the ac-
tivities once the ship docks. Snorkeling and scuba diving for
the adventuresome, miles of beach for the relaxed suntan-
ners, and shopping for those who want to bring home more
than memories.

If vacations ‘are 4 time to relax-and splurge a little on
oneself, then a Caribbean cruise could be just the solution.

Vacation for the budget- minded

pring Break is fast approaching. Everyone wants to
S take a vacation, get away from it all... a chance to

see the country. But not everyone can afford the
South of France or'a Mediterranean cruise. For people such
as this, travel. agents book them on the “Budget-Minded
Vacation,”

Frank Yunker

The vacation begins at least a week before the date listed
in the Academic Calendat’ as “Spring ‘Recess, but that is
another story, The official budget vacation: begins on the
day they close the dorms. Budget-minded vacationers know
that it is faster to fly to Florida than it is to hitch-hike to
Long Island, However, it's cheaper to thumb it to Levitown.

For spring break, usually stumble into the only hotel in
the country -that will take me in for. free, my. very own
“Mam and Pop Motel.” It’s not really the most stylish or
fashionable resort, but there are certain advantages. It’s gota
good sized room with a view, cable T.V., maid service once

Vacation calls for taking in the sight of New York as well.
After dinner I retire to the living room and turn on the
television. Lucy Ricardo is there. She lives life in the fast
lane, just like my friends. The nightlife. The clubs. The

mountains ‘of Virginia. I know some people who live there,

Baldwin sisters cook up a mean batch of “Papa's Recipe.”
John-Boy caught Jim-Bob and Grandpa drinking some of it
behind the chicken coop, but Grandpa claimed it was “only

when the day ended and everyone settled down to say
“goodnight,” the crisis was over.

For spring break, I usually
stumble into the only
motel in the country that
will take me in for free,

my very own “Mom and
Pop Motel.”

I leave. the sleeping Waltons and continue a little further
south, to thy. favorite town of-all — Mayberry, North
Carolina. There is a town that knows how to live! Even the
sherriff and his deputy are a couple of crazy partyers. They
pick up Thelma Lou and Helen and take in a picture show
and then maybe a light snack over at the diner. They get a li-
tle too wild for me when they head up to Mount Pilot and
dick up some “fun girls”

From North Carolina I travel due west. Enough of the par-

Go to Washington Park, work on tan (work hard), bring
food for pigeons. Watch construction of Ben & Jerry’s on

typical American family trying to solve typical family pro-
blems. Like the time J.R. tried to land the helicopter, steal
John Ross, and get away before Sue Ellen caught on to what
he was up to.

J,R. might be the most famous oilman; but he wasn’t the
first one..I take my budget vacation further west to Beverly
Hills. Swimming pools . .. Movie stars... But the Beverly
Hilbilies were more than money. They preceded Dallas
with the idea that families that are rich should have
beautiful women around the house: In my youth I dreamt of
that magnificent example of female sexuality. The belle of
the Clampett family. The woman who stole my heart. But,
of ‘course, every red-blooded American male fell in love
with Granny.

My budget vacation begins its slow journey home. Next
stop is Minneapolis, Minnesota to visit the girl who turns
me on witha smile. She can take a nothing day and sudden-
ly: make it all seem worthwhile. Mary Richards always
reminded me of the kind of girl that, if we were out on a
double date, she would be my friend’s date and I would be
out with Rhoda.

I stopped into NBC studios late on the night of my return,
to see how Dave, Paul, and the band, and Larry Bud were
doing. No cross country vacation is complete without a
batch of viewer mail or a stupid pet trick or two.

As I head back to school, I feel refreshed and relaxed. Spr-
ing break always arrives when I need it most: I get to catch
up on-the lives of a few friends. My friends at school were
envious. Music and comedy in New York. Wild parties in
Virginia and North Carolina. A business deal or two in
Texas. And, of course, women in California and Min-

albums. (Note: Check Beatles’, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath,
and Partridge Family albums.)

On those really boring days, you can go to McDonald's
and wait for Herb and win money. Talk to neighbors.
(Note: Ask to use washer and dryer, color T.V., and stereo.)
Wash dishes even if they are clean. Write David Letterman
a letter. Floss teeth. Try thinking aloud. Talk to yourself.

Escapism is a prominent factor in your survival. There are
many ways to alleviate the tension caused by the frigid
Albany air. Television plays a significant role. With T.V.
Guide in hand, make a list of all shows filmed near the
equator. Key show : Miami Vice — This show is a
remarkable replacement for the vacation on some beach,
club, or tropical island which you could have experienced if
you had the money. (Note: For best atmosphere, turn up
heat to 80°. Don't worry about bills now, you're on
vacation.)

Put on dark sunglasses and bathing suit and drink
Schmidt's beer. Or go into the bathroom, turn on hot wate:
till room is filled with steam, and pretend that you aréin a
Club Med sauna. (Note: Dark sunglasses are again required.
The darker the better.) T.V. footnote: Remember when wat-
ching old movies, all the extras are dead.

We have only brushed the surface. Surely, there. are
many, many more ideas you can come up with. You will
have plenty of time. But we have attempted to give you a
head start. For, We, the Paupers of Albany, must stick
together through thin and thinner.

The most important advice we can offer is — seek
romance. (Note: It can be free.) Be fruitful and multiply.
And, remember, you may need money for a trip, but not
necessarily for a vacation.

Aspects 3a

New perspectives in art

hen the sunlight shines into the
W SUNYA Art Gallery, it is perhaps

the most enjoyable and relaxing
place to be on campus and one of the most
thought provoking places on campus as
well.

Helen Molesworth

The two exhibitions currently running at
the gallery serve as quite a complimentary
pair. Transparencies, organized by Susan
Edgar, a 1979 Fine Arts Graduate Program
alumnus, is an exhibition of ten New York
City based artists which focuses on the use
of transparent materials such as mylar,
plexiglass and glass as. a new expressive
medium. The second exhibition is New
York State: An Aerial Perspective, a series
of photographs by Marilyn Bridges. What
these two exhibitions share is their desire
to challenge how art and the world is nor-
mally viewed.

Hanging from the ceiling is Shirley
Fuersts’ Left Variation III, which is a most
striking use of transparencies. It's compos-
ed of amoeba and fish-like shapes with
long tails and arrows weaving between
them. The colors are murky blues, blacks,
and greens highlighted by bright neon
pinks and yellows. The overall effect is
that of an underwater vision of fish in
seaweed,

Nancy May's Wait in a Glass consists of
three old window panes hung from the
ceiling, one behind the other, each with
different scenes of fish and water, creating
an aquarium like effect. This is the most in-
sightful use of this “transparent” device in
the exhibit. It pulls the painting off the wall
and creates a three dimensional perspec-
tive. Subsequently, the viewer becomes
aware that the way he or she is perceiving
this painting is in fact how life itself is
perceived; as a process of looking through
things as opposed to just looking at them.

6 ired of doing ihe same old thing

every weekend? Looking for

something different? Then make
your way down to the &th Step Coffee
House where tonight, tomorrow, or Sun-
day you can catch one of the final perfor-
mances of the Albany Theatte “Project's

successful production of Sam Shepard's
Curse of the Starving Class.

Marc Fenton

For those unfamiliar with Shepard's
most recent work, his drama is centered
around the issue of family unity and the
social factors working against it. His plays
illustrate the tension between family
members produced by the onset of in-
dustrialization and corresponding decaying
sense of roots and history.

In Curse of the Starving Class, the real
estate developers and con artists, with their
visions of profit and corporate develop-
ment, threaten to tear apart and victimize
the family’s of. the ‘starving class.’ One
finds Shephard’s image of modern America

is bleak and hopeless. He leaves his au-
dience with many questions to ponder.
And, for these there are no easy answers.

The Albany Theatre Project deserves
praise for its decision to use the 8th Step
Stage for Curse of the Starving Class, The
setting is ideal for capturing the play’s clos-
ed in, ‘claustrophobic mood, No seat is
more than:fifteen feet from the stage, and
the audience is brought right into the
family’s kitchen. e

The play would be worth seeing if only
for the set alone. Scene designer Andrew
G. Luft handily convey’s the squalid,
dilapidated feel of the home. Observing
the set one gains a sense of time passing,
and things being forgotten and left behind.
The piled up garbage, accumulated dirt on
the windows and run down appliances;
correspond perfectly to the’ family’s

Another very striking work is Colleen
Henry's Emerge, a sculpture of fiberglass,
neon and mixed media. It shows the head
and shoulders of a woman. Her head is ex-
posed, her eyes closed and her hair matted
down. With one hand she is pulling a sea-
green film, which traps her, off her body.
The work gives a powerful image of our
growing process as humans as well as a
wonderful contrast of textures and colors.

Lauren Szold combines many differnt
mediums in her work Stage of the Game,
which is a diorama construction of a
woman through a box with several parti-
tions. Szold- looks..at»life as a- series. of

condition.

Director Mark Dalton does a fine job of
maintaining the pace of the play. Aside
from some slow moments during act one
and gratuitous nudity that should have
been avoided in act three, he keeps the
play moving for over two and a half hours
with steady velocity, right up to the shock-
ing ending when he unleashes several
powerful, disturbing images onto the stage.

The performances range from adequate
to excellent. Particularly good was Joe
Gioco as the father. His energy, with
his washed out, alchoholic countenance
necessarily made his character the central
focus ‘of attention. Richard’Bush, as’ ‘the

son, at first appeared bland and withdrawn

constant change. The conclusion is not
clear, perhaps there is none, but at least the
viewer keeps moving.

Upstairs is Marilyn Bridges’ New York:
An Aerial Perspective, a series of
photographs of New York taken from
airplanes and helicopters. It is interesting to
note that when photography was first in-
vented it was greatly ridiculed. Henri Dam-
mier, a great social cartoonist made a print
of Nadar, the first great photographer, en-
titled “Nadar Raising Photography to the
Height of the Art.” The print depicted
Nadar in a hot air ballon taking the first
aerial photography.

Bridges will receive no ridicule for her

from his part, but by the end rose to meet
the needs of a complex role. The rest of the
actors affably offset one another and work-
ed to establish the play’s inner tension. The
only real problem I had was with Melanie
White as the pubescent daughter. She
should have been played as a troubled,
confused teenager, but ended up coming
across as a whiney, obnoxious brat.

This, and a few other flaws, aside The
Curse of the Starving Class is a diverting,
satisfying production. For the quality, the

barns, fields, and traffic intersections: Line

that look like pick-up sticks. Water Tower

water tower to look like a large jellyfish.
The most amusing photograph is Lane

into their burrow are really cars lined up in

Compassion for all

To the Editor:

In response to some of the conversation which has
recently surfaced regarding the issue of sexual minorities
and their rights and activities in the campus center, we as
Christian ministers on campus feel compelled to share the
following.

It has been our training, the belief of our respective
communities and our own personal belief that a relation-
ship with God leads to peace and reconciliation among
peoples rather than the opposite.

We believe that any discrimination that is set up among
human persons on the basis of sec, race, language or way
of life comes from our own inability to see the face of
God in our own world; a face which, according to tradi-
tional Christian belief, has shown its unconditional love
and acceptance in Jesus Christ.

We believe that while the open and honest discussion of
opinion is a cornerstone of academic freedom and per-
sonal growth, moral judgments and stereotyping of in-
dividuals or groups can only lead to further

“misunderstanding and division within the human
community.

Van for disabled

To the Editor:

I would like to respond to an article written in the
University News on Jan. 30, 1986. The article described
the Disabled Van Task Force’s efforts to raise money for
a new wheelchair accessible van.

As treasurer of the University Action for the Disabled I
would like to tell you my feelings about the entire situa-
tion. While UAD is very grateful that so many people
would like to help the Disabled students, there are many
facts that are still unknown to most people.

In 1977, the University purchased a van that would
enable disabled students to enjoy the privileges and rights
given to all students attending Albany. Three years ago
the van began to have problems and has spent more time
in the repair shop than transporting disabled students.
Back then they should have developed a plan to purchase
a new van before the other one died. They didn’t do their
jobs and now the disabled students have no dependable
and convenient transportation.

And what is more repulsive than that, is the fact that we
must now pay for their irresponsibility. If one of the
Green Monsters is beyond repair and the University buys
a new one, the students don’t have to raise money for it,
so why should we?

We feel that Dennis Stevens’ (Director of Plant
Department) assertion that the present van will run for
the next few years with some major repairs is totally in-
correct. The present yan is not reliable for any trip nor is
it safe for the disabled students who must ride it if they
wish to be more active participants in the community.
Last winter on the coldest day of the year two disabled
friends were trapped in the van for over two hours with
the doors wide open because the lift was not operational.
Last week I encountered two blind students who had to
wait two hours for a taxi to take them to a doctor.

On a more personal level I can not be an active member
of the Class of 1986 because I am not able to attend any
meetings which are held downtown. These are just a few
of the inconveniences disabled students have gone
through because the University is not living up to its
responsibility. Is it right? Is it fair? Well of course it isn’t.

I would now like to turn our attention to the Disabled
Van Task Force. The Task Force was developed and put
into affect by Nancy Belowich (Director of Disabled
Student Services) without consulting UAD. We were not
asked how we felt about not having transportation. We
were not asked if we felt there were a better way to pur-
chose a van, like having the University pay for. it
immediately.

Nancy Belowich and Irwin Weinstein (Student Com-
munity Committee) are co-Chairs of the task force but
not any disabled students. We were allowed to go around
with cans and beg for money. Letters were sent to the
parents of disabled students asking for money. We were
obstructed from fighting for our rights and we are tired of
it.

If the University awakens from its comatose state and
gives us the money NOW we may have a new van ready
September. If not, the disabled community will be curtail-
ed from fully participating in the many academic, social,
and cultural activities and therefore not receive a well
rounded educational experience.

“Poppa Rich’

To the Editor:

I was very disturbed by the image the ASP portrayed of
Rich Kozak in the article last Friday. I felt this way
because I’ve known Rich for the past fifteen years, going
through elementary, junior high, high school, and now
college together. Because of this I feel I can portray the
best image of him. Rich and I are and have always been
extremely close friends and were once even class
sweethearts. He is also one of my boyfriend’s best
friends. Rich is the kind of person who makes you feel
good about yourself. He always brings out the best in
you, even when you feel terrible about yourself. He’s
always had a ‘big’ heart for others and treats everyone
gently and with love. I feel that I could trust him with my
life, and he would always be there. He would go out of his
way to make people feel happy and smile. There have
been several times when several of my friends, who knew
him just a little-;would feel comfortable enough to confide

in him. We often refer to him as ‘Poppa Rich’ because of
his caring nature. At home Rich is extremely respected by
everyone. He was Captain of the football team and I’ll
never forget the speech he gave before our team went for
the championship title. He talked about the feeling of
pride, spirit, leadership, caring, love, trust, and
togetherness and how these things should be important
and carried out by everyone, not only today, but
throughout life. I feel that he is a victim of a terrible oc-

curance and is living a nightmare. His life is in a deadlock
because he is being charged with something he didn’t do,
and is suffering the consequences of someone else’s lies.
Despite this, Rich goes on personifying the attributes heis
best known for, because he as do all of us, knows that he
is innocent. His biggest fear is the financial burden and
mental pressures placed on his parents.

Ihave done my best to exemplify the best image of Rich
Kozak I could for you without going into specific in-
stances and details. Rich has added so much to people’s
lives, and has worked too hard to fulfill his own dreams
and happiness for this to happen. I really love Rich and
am worried about what is happening to him. I know there
are numerous people who are also deeply concerned. We
all believe in him and want to extend our love and support
to him.

— Theresa Tokos

Friends of Kozak

To the Editor

As a relatively shy person, | always found it difficult to
get to know people. Rich Kozak (the young man charged
with rape) was an exception for me. I can clearly
remember the first time that | met Rich. My roommate
and I were sitting in our lounge when-all of a sudden this
guy plopped himself down next to us and with a big smile
introduced himself. | instantly took a liking to him and
never stopped having those feelings toward him. He is
easy to talk to, friendly, sweet, funny, respectful, and
always himself. He never tries to impress people but
always does. People who know Rich could only like him
because there is nothing to dislike.

When I heard about the charge against Rich, I was
greatly disturbed. As a person whe knows Rich, | know
that he could never do anything even relating to what he
has been charged with. In my opinion and in ‘he opinion
of everyone else who knows Rich he has been faced with a
bum rap. His friends and I are all behind him and only
sorry that it had to happen to someone of such fine
character.

UNFAIR

To the Editor: Z

I view the current flood of weekend ticketing courtesy
of UPD as being both unfair and unnecessary. I have
been parking in front of Indian Quad on weekends since I
moved here last September, and I never received a ticket
until last week. Why the abrupt change in ticketing
policy? It seems to be a ploy designed only to aggravate
and harrass students who live uptown.

The Indian Quad parking lot has been a mess for most
of the winter. The poor quality of plowing done after
several snow storms this semester left most of the parking
spaces covered by inches of ice. Besides that, the ice
covering the paths leading to the dorms has made walking
them dangerous, especially at night. On the weekends the
parking spaces outside the quad go mostly unused by
faculty and staff, so students such as myself park there as
a matter of convenience and safety. But now suddenly
UPD has decided that it is illegal to park there even on
weekends, and is issuing tickets at 3 and 4 o’clock in the
morning. Perhaps the officers of UPD would better
spend their time patrolling against the many car thefts
that go on at this time instead of writing out useless
tickets, or even worse, congregating at Denny’s.

The Soviet Union is practicing
“‘government-sanctioned destruc-
tion and genocide’’, Schiotis said
and employs such tactics as drop-
ping toy shaped bombs designed
to explode in the hands of
children.

YAF, whose purpose according
to Shciotis is ‘‘purely to educate
and to stimulate debate on this
campus”’ has already brought to
campus such issues as abortion,
“Star Wars,’’ and Accuracy in
Academia.

Steve Korowitz, president of
the College Republicans said that
he is ‘hoping our actions will lead
to the Soviet Union leaving
Afghanistan. I don’t think Con-
gress and the Reagan administra-
tion has taken up this issue but I
understand it because there is very
little public support.”

The United States should equip
Afghan troops with modern
weapons, said Korowitz. ‘‘Let’s
give them more than sticks and
stones to fight the communists
with,” he said.

“It is an ongoing project of the
College Republicans to help all
people who are fighting for their
freedom,”” said Korowitz, ad-
ding, ‘‘there is no question that
there is something terribly in-
humane going on in
Afghanistan.”

The International Student
Association is a small group that
works with the Ifiternational

budgeted,’’ said Ginzberg.

“(The International Studies
Office students) are automatically
a part of the organiza-
tion. . .They are a support group
for the cultural groups that are
provided with an education
here.’’

Director of International Stu-
dent Services Steven Thomson
said, “the groups also offer
assistance to new student arrivals
by meeting them at the airport,
offering temporary housing,
assistance in finding housing, and
language partnerships.”’

The purpose of the Germanic-
American Association (formally
the German Club) is ‘‘to promote
Germanic culture and  learn-
ing. . through informal and fun
things,’ said group President
Thomas Imfeld.

There is a wide variety of events
that the different organizations
sponsor. Thomson said Interna-
tional Student Services hold
events such as lectures, cultural
exhibits around campus, presen=
tations to civic, school, and
church groups, sightseeing and
educational trips, parties, and
residence hall programs.

The Pan-Caribbean Associa-
tion has sponsored concerts
featuring Caribbean music and

will have a Caribbean dinner-
dance on April 4, which is open to
the public, said Fraites. ‘“‘It is to
give people a Caribbean ex-

Black solidarity should be a daily occurrence

By E. Paul Stewart
MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR

As we come to the close of
another Black History Month, we
should look back over the month
and more importantly we must be
cognizant that it is a time to look
ahead. The years of struggle past

are but the Beyond

groundwork for

Black History
month along
with Martin Luther King Day,
and Malcolm X Day are
reminders of what we as a people
have accomplished and that
which still must be overcome in
order to gain our rightful position
in this country.

America has attempted to place
us in a state of perpetual desire;
like that of Tantalus in the
Mythical story: where the food he
desires is kept just out of his
reach. Only through economic
sovereignty can we achieve eco-
socio equality. Black Solidarity is
not, should not and cannot be a
once a year event. Everyday must
be Black Solidarity Day.

The Black and Hispanic Com-
munity have the economic poten-
tial to shape this country. We
must continue to support each
other, inside and outside of our
communities. The answers to all
our inequalities will come from
within our communities,
ourselves as individuals, and as a
group. White America does not
possess the answers for us and are
not the masters of our destiny.
We are the masters of our destiny
and our solidarity can forever rid
us of the ‘‘White Master’’ as so

many unfortunately still see
themselves.

If you don’t know your Black
History (there is so much of it to
learn) andyouare just beginning to
**discover your roots,’’ don’t stop
with February 28, there is a
wealth of information available if
you look for it. Remember the in-
ventors, explorers, soldiers, the
political leaders, read them, know
them, experience some of the
greatest thinkers that the world
has ever known. The more we
know about ourselves, the better
equipped: we’ll be to tackle the
obstacles that are seemingly ever
present in this country.

We are the

masters of our
destiny.

This month this campus has
been graced by the wisdom of
several thinkers from the Black
World. This past Tuesday Wade
Nobles, a leading Black
psychologist, overwhelmed his
audience, with insight and infor-
matin of our experience, position,
and purpose in America.

Earlier this month, we had the
good fortune to have Lerone Ben-
nett, Jr., Historian and Editor of
Ebony Magazine speak here.
Those of us who were fortunate
enough to hear these speakers
must share their wisdom with
those who did not. Knowledge is

SUNYA music prof writes Tricentennial opera

By Colleen Deslaurier
‘STAFF WRITER

To do his part for Albany’s Tricenten-
nial celebration, SUNYA music professor
Leonard Kastle will retell the life of Shaker
founder, Mother Ann Lee — through
opera.

Kastle, who joined the SUNYA faculty
in 1978, has almost com-
pleted the libretto and .
music for The Calling of Friday
Mother Ann. His other i
works include Deseret, Profile
an opera produced and
televised for NBC, the Mass, performed at
the Empire State Plaza, and the film The
Honeymoon Killers, which he wrote and
directed.

Of his opera subject, Kastle said,
Shakers are a ‘‘unique group which
represented true Christian life’? and the
“only successful communal communism.””
Kastle said he believes that Mother Ann is
one of the most important historical
figures in Albany history.”

On March 9, one of Kastle’s sonatas for
the piano and violin, which he wrote when
he was 19, will be performed at SUNYA’s
Page Hall.

Kastle said that the piece is the first
thing he ever wrote, of which he said,“‘I’ll
stand by this.””

“T write what I féel,”’ said Kastle about
his compositions. “‘I-try to write melodies
and tunes that people can recognize.’’

Besides composing and conducting,
Kastle tries to teach a different course at
SUNYA each semester.

“It’s interesting to do something new
each year,’’ he said. With a new course,
Kastle himself has to prepare for the
material.

In this way, Kastle said, he learns
something. ‘When the teacher learns, the
students learn.”

Kastle said the only course he has taught

more than once has been ‘‘The Great
Masses’’, which he will be teaching next
semester. This course features six great
masses and his own composition, the
Mass.

Kastle began writing music at the age of
four, when his parents went to Florida and
brought him back a stuffed crocodile, to
which he dedicated an entire opera. The
opera called for a storm scene, said Kastle,
so to create the appropriate atmosphere,
he had his uncle puff smoke from his cigar
over the piano.

When Kastle was five, he said he would

run up to his mother, stuff a bouquet of

feel. . . I try to write

recognize.”’

hyacinths under her nose with one hand,
while playing a tune on the piano with the
other. ‘“‘Doesn’t this (the flowers) smell
like this (the tune)?’’ Kastle would ask his
mother.

In order to attend the Curtis Institute of
Music where he received two scholarships,
Kastle graduated high school at the age of
16. Leonard Bernstein and Samuel Barber
are the only other people who have receiv-
ed two scholarships.

Kastle studied music and composition at
Curtis for five years. During that time, he
was under the tutelage of Rosario Scolero,
who had been a student of Brahms.

In this way, “I got the word right from
Brahms,”’ said Kastle.

After graduating college, Kastle began
playing the piano for ballet classes. ‘‘I was
paid $2 an hour which was a lot in those
times,”’ he said.

Kastle also became music director for
the production of ‘‘Lady in the Dark,”
which starred Kitty Karlisle Hart.

Kastle left New York to relocate in
Albany. ‘‘I really love teaching and in-
teracting with the students. I learn all the
time...it’s very rewarding,’’ he said.

Although Kastle said he feels that Bach
is ‘‘the greatest genius that ever lived,’’ he
believes that everyone should ‘‘thave his
own personality.’”

Kastle said he doesn’t try to copy Bach’s

style because ‘‘if you’re a real artist and

you have something to say, it’ll be there. If
not, forget it.”

Some artists, Kastle said, ‘‘haven’t got
anything to say, so they fool around; it’s a
mark of sterility.” The artist who throws
paint in an airplane engine, spreads out a
canvas where the paint is exhausted and
calls it ‘‘art’’ is an example of this, he said.

Kastle’s movie, The Honeymoon
Killers, was listed by the New York Times
as one of the ten best movies in 1971. The
movie features two murderers, who have
been described in Europe as the ‘‘real Bon-
nie and Clyde,”’ said Kastle.

The film has become a ‘“‘cult film,’’ said
Kastle, and is in the collection of the
Museum of Modern Art.

Filmmaking ‘‘makes me part of the real
world,” Kastle said. i

Skier Levine takes fifth in NCSA Giant Slalom

By Joe Sangaline
and Diane Lang

This past weekend, Albany State ski
team captain Ed Levine skied in the Na-
tional Collegiate Ski Association (NCSA)
Eastern Regional ski championships in
Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. After
leading the Dane skiers to an eighth place
finish of 19 teams, Levine moved on to the
Eastern regionals to compete against 90 of
the best skiers in the East.

With the field consisting of not only
NCSA skiers, but also several members of
Team C of the U.S. Ski Team, Levine
turned in an excellent performance, plac-
ing fifth in the Giant Slalom. With his fifth
place finish in Giant Slalom, Levine need-

ed a seventh place finish on his last slalom
run to make the NCSA nationals.

Skiing 52nd in the field, with a clear shot
at the Nationals, Levine was skiing one of
the best runs of the day, only to fall near
the finish.

Despite the loss, Levine was happy with
his own performance. On Monday, he said
“Those are the breaks. It happens to the
best of us. But, I’m stil very excited about
my fifth-place finish.””

The last three races for the Danes as a
team, weren’t successful though. At

Brodie Mountain on February | and 2, the
Danes made their presence known in
Saturday’s slalom event by placing two
racers in the top ten. Tom Irvin took 10th
place in a field of 85 and Levine again ex-
celled with a second place finish.

Sunday’s Giant Slalom event took a toll
on the Dane team. Under adverse condi-
tions, sophomore John Reavis, racing se-
cond seed for Albany, fell and injured his
right knee. The accident leaves the Dane’s
without one of their top skiers for the rest
of the season.

The following weekend, the Danes were
hosted by Colgate University, but were
again plagued by an injury. The number
one women’s seed junior Sandy Slader was
in eighth place after her first Giant Slalom
run. But during an excellent second run,
Slader injured her knee and was unable to

three teams,” said NYU head coach Sheri
Pickard. ‘‘Quite frankly, all the teams are
very good, and it wouldn’t be any easier to
face the others in the first round.’’

After not making the NCAAs last year,
this is a dream come true for the Danes.
They finished the season with a 24-3
record. After dropping their first two
games Albany went on a phenomenal
24-game winning streak, only to be stop-
ped by Bu/falo State.

“We're real excited,”” said Albany head
coach Mari Warner. “This is a chance of a
lifetime. My feeling is all four teams are
equally talented, so the team with the most
heart will take it. The team that wins is go-
ing to have to play two excellent ball
games.”

Leading Albany is senior Rainny Lesane
at point guard. She is the all-time leading
scorer for women’s basketball at Albany
with 1363 career points to date. The Bronx

finish.

Levine again skied well, placing fifth in
Saturday’s slalom. While at Colgate, a
SUNY Buffalo skier commented ‘No one
expected any competition from Albany
this season. We were really surprised”?

In the last regular season race, hosted by
Alfred University at Swain Mountain, the
Dane skiers held their own without two of
their top skiers.

In Saturday’s slalom, Irvin lead the
men’s team to a fourth place finish by tur-
ning his best performance of the year, a
sixth place slalom finish.

native also holds records for assists with
256, and steals with 303.

Lesane’s 130 steals this year is a single
season record, even though she has played
four minutes less per game this season.

Senior Lori Bayba starts at forward for
the Danes. She has been the team’s most
consistent free throw shooter at 78 per-
cent. She is joined by senior Diane Fer-
nandes, whose 33 points in both SUNYAC
games last weekend made her an All-
tournament selection. Sophomore center
Cindy Jenson, leads the team in reboun-
ding with 201 for the year and 7.4 per
game.

Joining Lesane at guard is junior Chris
Labombard. She averages just under 10
ppg and adds 72 steals for the season.

“‘We are not the underdogs in this tour-
nament by any means,” said Warner.
“These are all top caliber teams. We are
proud to be one of the top four in the

Danes Doug Meyer and Joe Sangaline
both placed in the top 25. The women’s
team also turned in a good performance in
their last race of this first year together.

With their first full season over, the
Dane’s skiers are looking forward to a
winning season next year. Captain Levine
said “I’m really pleased with the way this
team came together. They really push each
other to work hard and it’s shown in their
overall performances. Each member has
improved significantly. With this improve-
ment, I feel they have a strong nucleus of
returning skiers for next year. Oo

State.””

After last weekend’s tough loss to Buf-

falo State in the SUNYAC finals, a
Tematch between the two would give the
Danes a chance to get sweet revenge.
; “We played a good game against them,
if we can capitalize on the things we missed
out on last time, the key rebounds and free
throws, we can beat them,”’ said Warner.
“They are going to have to play flawless
against us to beat us again. The pressure is
on them to beat us again.””

If the Danes make it succesfully through
this weekend, only three more games will
decide if they could take the national
championship.

“When you look at it, we are five games
away from it (the national champion-
ship),”’ said Warner. “Our philosophy all
season has been to take it one game at a
time, and we’re not gonna change that
now.” Qo

Danes open ECAC tourney against Utica Tech

By Mike MacAdam
SPORTS EDITOR

It’s not the NCAAs, but it’s
post-season play nonetheless for
the 17-8 Great Danes when they
face the 16-8 Utica Tech Wildcats
Saturday in the first round of the
ECAC tournament.

The Danes squandered any
chance of. entering the NCAA
tournament last Thursday when
they fell to Buffalo State, 66-64,
in the opening round of the
SUNYACS. Albany made it to the
NCAAs last year, losing in the
first round to Worcester
Polytechnic Institute, and the
Wildcats are making a’ return
engagement to the ECACs, hav-
ing lost to Hamilton last year.

This year’s ECAC tournament
includes eight teams from New
York State. Each game will be
played at the home site of the
higher-seeded team, which means
that the fourth-seeded Danes will
celebrate their last hurrah at
University Gym Saturday at 8:00
P.M.

If they get past Utica Tech,
they will play the winner of the
Hartwick-Binghamton game, and
will still play at home provided
eighth seed Binghamton beats
Hartwick. But Albany State head
coach Dick Sauers would rather
have another crack at Hartwick,
who earlier beat the Danes.

“7 think it would be a good
game (against Hartwick),” said
Sauers. “‘We’d like to play them
again. I think the players would

enjoy it.”

Albany has to get past the
Wildcats and their star forward,
64” Bob Graham, first, though.
Graham, a deadly outside
shooter, has averaged 26.8 points
this season, and Utica Tech head
coach Jim Klein has nothing but
the highest praise for the junior
from Alexandria, Virginia.

“*He’s an exceptional shootef,’’
said Klein. ‘‘When he’s having
one of his nights, the rest of the
team pretty much just stands
around and watches.””

The rest of the team has had
the initiative to do a little more
than stand around and watch,
however, despite Graham’s scor-
ing prowess. 6’3’’ junior forward
Dave Pasik, a Utica native,
averages 12.3 points per game.

6’4’’ senior center Jasper
Harvey, who learned how to
shoot and rebound in Barbados,
West Indies, leads the Wildcats
with 8.7 boards a game and chips
in 9.4 points. Junior guard Bill
Stivers, a Frankfort, Kentucky
product, is the big assist man for
Utica Tech with 62 on the year.

The Wildcats’ basketball pro-
gram, which has only been in ex-
istence five years, has made great
strides toward improvement, as
evidenced by their second straight
ECAC appearance. Klein has had
to develop his team despite the
fact that Utica Tech is a two-year
school, which prevents the players
from playing together for a long
time and learning each others’

styles. be
“We're a two-year school, and | z
that’s a drawback,”’ said Klein.
“As a result, we’re not very ex-
perienced, and sometimes we lack
patience when we set up our of-
fense, We did beat Brockport and
Oswego this year, which shows we
have a good program.”

“T didn’t really scout them, but
I did see them when they played
Potsdam,’’ said Sauers.
‘“Graham’s a great outside
shooter, and they’ve got a lot of
quickness. They play very fast,
they like to score quickly and
keep the pace moving.”

The Danes will be led by 6’4”
forward Adam Ursprung, who

Albany State gymnastics team crushes Vermont

By Michael Bruno
STAFF WRITER

The Albany State Women’s gymnastic
team piled up 153.25 points on Wednesday
against the University of Vermont’s low
57.2. Vermont’s team has been injury
plagued and the Danes took advantage of
it.

The score puts the teams meet average to
just over 152, only hundredths of a point
behind sixth ranked Salem State.

The Danes began the contest on the
uneven parallel bars. Sophomore Karen
Vlasaty stuck a clean routine to a score of
7.05. She didn’t throw her toe on from off
dismount because of a weak knee, but pro-
mised she’d attempt it at next Saturday’s
ECACs. Junior Leslie Steckel hit clean
kips and hip circles and dismounted with a
full twisting underswing to score a 7.25.
Freshman Missy Livent threw clean and
complete straddle cuts, kips, and a strad-
dle back to score her season high of 7.50.

Senior Brenda Armstrong again took top jf

honors with a 7.55. She cleanly executed

kips, a straddle over, a reverse hecht and f

full twisting dismount over the low bar.
Albany then moved to their highest scor-
ing event, the vault. Junior Terri Sokol

and Senior Karen Bailey each received 8.15 |

for their handsprings. Junior captain Sue
Leskowitz got the pike out of her powerful
handspring to score an 8.3. Livent won the
vaulting competition with a clean half on
full off vault to score an 8.45.

The floor exercise saw the gymnasts hit
many of their tumbling and dance
elements. Bailey hit her whip back pass,
front tuck to back pass and handstand tri-
ple piroutte to score a 7.55. Freshman Bar-
bara Tirss threw a high and complete
layout full, handstand double piroutte,
and clean dance to add another 7 .55 to the
team effort. Sophomore Michelle Husak
stuck her whip back pass and handstand
triple piroutte to score a 7.9. Junior Nora
Bellantoni completed her arabian back
tuck pass, handstand double piroutte and
whip back to a straddle jump to score an
8.15. Livent executed a high layout full
and jump double to win the floor exercise

with an 8.2.

The Danes had a few problems on beam,
but still managed to get decent scores.
Bellantoni, this years surprise beam sensa-
tion, hit a tuck jump back handspring
combination with overall clean and high
leaps to score a 7.65. Husak hit a clean
reverse planche, split leg leap-side leap
combination and a gainer dismount to
score a 7.55. Livent, having her best meet
of the season, hit two high pike jumps, a

tuck jump backhandspring combination, a
switch leg leap and a standing layout full
dismount to score her season high 8.1. Li-
vent’s all around total was a 32.25. This
score is a high for this season and only .05
shy of the school record.

The gymnasts next meet will be the
ECAC competition to be held at Rhode
Island College in Providence. This meet
has the top six Division III teams from the

Eastern seaboard.

The Danes face Salem State at this meet
and could gain a NCAA regional with a
solid performance. Head coach Tom
Fiumarello and assistant coach Brian
LaDucke are optimistic.

LaDucke said ‘‘We are now so close to
Salem that whoever has a better perfor-
mance at ECACs will be the team that
makes regionals.” oOo

lements shakes off injury

to spark men’

By David Blette
STAFF WRITER

The men indoor track team killed two
meets with one stone this past weekend,
as they participated in the RPI Invite on
Saturday and the Senior Metropolitan
Championships on Sunday.

At RPI the team took all of its run-
ners, but some ran only once so they
would be ready for the Sunday meet.
Because of this the team scored only 73
points to take third in the meet. Ithaca
College ran strong in the individual
events to take first with 152 points. Cor-
tland State took second with 113 points.

The highlight of the meet was the con-
tinuing comeback of senior lan
Clements. Ian, who has been fighting
cronic knee problems this winter, was
named ‘‘Athlete of the Meet’’, as he
took a solid second place in the 5000 m
run with a time of 15’39.6. Following
Clements was housemate Chuck Bon-
ner in third with a time of 16°02.7.

Other strong performances by Albany
included a win in the 3200 m relay with a
time of 7 ’59.9, a victory in the high
jump by David Walker of six feet seven
inches; and John Reilly win with a time
of 52.1 in the 400 m dash.

Two other Albany relays also had
solid finishes. The distance medley relay

s track team

took second in 1048 and the mile relay
took third in 3735.8.

On Sunday the team sent a van full of
athletes to West Point to run in the
Senior Metropolitan Championships.

Because Albany is not a member of
the Senior Metropolitan Conference the
athletes participated in the meet as non-
scoring runners in the open division.

The high point for the day was the
new school record set by Vernon Miller,
who ran 156.63 in the 800 m run. Miller
took ninth in this race and he was
followed by teammate David Blette in
1°57.21. In the pole vault Pat Dowling
and Kurt Weidman both cleared thirteen
feet.

Running in a competitive field senior
Craig Parlato took seventh in the 5000
m run. His time of 15’22.4 was a per-
sonal best.

Finishing off the meet was high
jumper Walker, who cleared 6710 to
take first in the open division category.

This Saturday the team will be in
Fredonia NY for the SUNYACs.

“In the past Fredonia State has been
the runaway champion every year,”’
said head Coach Robert Vives.
“Fredonia is not so strong. I think it’s
going to be a three team battle between
Cortland State, Fredonia andus.” 0)

Women cagers to face Columbia

By Kristine Sauer
SPORTS EDITOR

The Albany State women’s basketball
team makes an unprecedented appearance
in the NCAA tournament this weekend.
The Danes now stand five games away
from a national championship.

With a 24-3 record, Albany is seeded
third behind first-ranked Buffalo State
and second-seeded Columbia. New York
University, seeded fourth in the tourna-
ment, is the regional host.

All four coaches agree that the winner of
the East regional will have to play the best
two games of their season to move further
in the national tournament.

The regionals open this evening ‘with
Buffalo meeting NYU at 7pm, followed at
9pm by Columbia against Albany. The
two winning teams will play for the
Eastern championship at 4pm Saturday
after the 2pm consolation game.

Columbia, 20-5, is the team that handed
the Danes their second loss of the season,
setting Albany at 0-2 at the time. Since
that game, Columbia has lost to nationally
top-ranked Salem State, CCNY by two
points at the buzzer, and three Division I
squads, Harvard, St. Francis of NY, and
the University of Pennslyvania.

Columbia made its second appearance
in the State Tournament held last
weekend. They were ranked second going
in behind 19-7 NYU and took the cham-
pionship after NYU was knocked out in
the first round. Columbia was ranked
eighth going into that tournament last year
before taking sixth place.

This is Columbia’s first NCAA tourna-
ment and will be their only one at the Divi-
sion III level because next year they are
moving up to Division | Ivy League.

In the early season match-up between
Albany and Columbia, the Danes were
outscored by a mere point, losing 70-69.
The second meeting of the two teams could
be just as close.

The only team in the tournament Col-
umbia has not met up with is Buffalo

State, who beat NYU by six points earlier
this season.

“We felt very good about the win over
Albany. They’ were ranked very high at
that point,” said Columbia head coach
Nancy Kalafus. ‘‘At that point they were
ranked very high, so our beating them pro-
ved we were going to bea credible threat.”

Of the Columbia team’s five starters,
two recently broke the 1000-point plateau.
Senior Ellen Bossert is a 6’1”’ center and
the team’s leading scoreer and rebounder.
The two-year veteran of the team is an All-
American candidate. She and teamate Ula
Lysniak each surpassed 1000 points last
weekend during the NY State tournament.
Lysniak, a junior forward, is a three-year
player for the team.

Another forward, sophomore Kristina
Tyer, is the team’s third leading scorer and
broke the season assist mark this year.
Senior Wendy Rosoz is the pacesetter at
point guard, and sophomore Heather
Richards joins her in the backcourt.

Off the bench are freshman Mary Jane
Skinner at forward and Debbie Persico at
guard.

“Jt should be a really good game in the
first round,”’ said Kalafus. ‘‘When we
played that game earlier, everyone thought
it was a fluke that we beat them. We’ve
gone on and proven that we belong where
we are.””

The Buffalo State Bengals are the
SUNYAC champions after beating the
Danes in the finals last weekend, 80-73.
The Bengals are 23-1, the one loss being to
Alfred University, who they later beat by a
sizable amount.

The Bengals start senior center Jane
Tymm, senior forward Karen O’Callahan,
and SUNYAC MVP Bridgette Howard.
There are three possible starters at the
guard position, Kindle Williams, Val
Stokely, the team’s leading scorer, and Val
Mosely:

“Ym concerned about playing them
(NYU) on their own court,” said Buffalo
head coach Gail Maloney, whose team
makes its third NCAA appearance. ‘‘Since
we are not hosting it, our only advantage
to being the number one seed is playing the
fourth seed, who we beat in the Rochester
tournament by 14.”’

“Logically, I’ve beaten Albany once, so
L have to ask myself if I can do it again,”
said Maloney. “I don’t know if it’s better
to play a team you know or don’t know.””

The Bengals beat Albany with 68 per-
cent shooting from the floor and in the end
were the ones to capitalize on crucial
freethrows.

“‘We had to play the best game of the
season to beat Albany,’’concluded
Maloney.

NYU had its first ever All-American last
year in 6’3”’center Wanda Davis. She leads
the nation in rebounding with 16.5 per
game and contributes 16.5 ppg. Junior co-
captain Chris Robinson, a 5’10 forward
from Binghamton, is the team’s second
highest scorer with 13 ppg. Last season she
received All American honorable mention.

in the NCAAs, particularly with these

Five Albany State grapplers competing at NCAAs

By Cathy Errig
STAFE WRITER

Five Great Dane athletes will be attempting to extend a
six year tradition to seven this weekend.

For the past six years, the Albany State wrestling team
has finished their season with a top-20 NCAA ranking
due to their performance at the NCAA Div III wrestling
tournament. This weekend, captains Shawn Sheldon,
John Balog, Jim Fox and Marty Pidel, along with
undefeated heavyweight Chris Tironi, will be at-Trenton
State College for the NCAA tournament, which involves
200 athletes.

“The NCAA tournament is only one measure of your
season,”’ said head coach Joe DeMeo. ‘‘But we’ve been in
the top 20 for six years now, and we’d very much like to
make it seven.’”

Last season, the Danes qualified six wrestlers, out of a
possible 10, and placed 13th overall. 158 Ib. Andy Seras
won the national title, and Fox and Balog finished one
point away from being named All-Americans. The
Danes’ other qualifiers were Dave Averill, (126), Sandy
Adelstein, (177), and Sheldon, (118).

‘We're very capable of doing well this yea,” said
DeMeo. “‘Chris and Shawn have been flawless the entire
season and should be seeded, third or fourth in the tour-
nament. There’s also a chance that the others could get
seeded.”

Sheldon is making his third appearance at the NCAA
tournament, bringing in with him an undefeated 19-0
record, second place finishes at both the New York State
tournament and the Coast Guard Tournament, and the
118 Ib. SUNYAC title. Sheldon was named All-American
for the ‘83-‘84 season, but failed to attain the same title
last year.

“Yd like to finish in the top three this year,’’ said
Sheldon. ‘‘The Nationals have a different atmosphere
than a duel match does, it’s easier to get psyched up.”’

‘Shawn is the greatest athlete I’ve ever coached,”’ said
DeMeo. ‘‘He’s got the best speed, balance and quickness.
He’s a true all-around athlete.””

Balog is making his second consecutive appearance at
the NCAAs, bringing in with him a 15-4 seasonal record
and a second place finish in the SUNYAC tournament.

“You’ve only got to win two
matches to be named an All-
American, but everyone is
capable of beating you if
you’re not on.”’

— John Balog

Last season, while wrestling at 134, Balog missed being
named an All-American by the narrowest of margins, and
feels stronger than ever wrestling at 142.

“The season is so long, but it all comes down to two
days as far as determining whether the season was suc-
cessful or not,’’ said Balog. ‘‘You’ve only got to win two
matches to be named an All-American, but everyone is
capable of beating you if you’re not on.’”

Also up from the weight at which he qualified for the
NCAA tournament last season is 150 Ib. Jim Fox, who
qualified both last season and this year as a wild card.

Due to the strength of the 150 Ib. weight class in the
SUNYAC Conference, the top four wrestlers, rather than
the top three, received NCAA bids.

“If Jim knew how good an athlete he is, no one could
touch him,” said DeMeo of Fox, who along with Balog
and Pidel stands an excellent chance of being named an
Academic All-American.

The Dane making the largest change from his ‘84-85
weight class to the present season is Pidel, who qualified
for his first time at 190. Last season, Pidel wrestled at
167, and missed qualifying for the NCAAs by the same
one point margin that took the All-American distinction
from Balog and Fox. A senior with one year of college
eligibility left, Pidel is uncertain as to whether or not he
returns for another season.

“If [don’t make All-American, I could be back,”’ said
Pidel. ‘‘We’ll just wait and see.’”

Tironi, a junior transfer from SUNY Cobelskill, is the
final Dane qualifier for the tournament. Tironi was 17-0
this season and won his first-ever SUNYAC title in the
most competitive weight. Of the eight heavyweight
wrestlers at the SUNYACs, five were given NCAA bids.

“Chris won his SUNYAC title in. the toughest weight
class,” said DeMeo. “‘He was as dominating as I’ve ever
seen an athlete.’”

“Wrestling in tournaments is Very rewarding, very self-
fulfilling,” said Tironi, ‘Especially when you win a big
tournament.””

Brockport, the overall winner of the SUNYAC tourna-
ment, is the top-ranked team nationally, and has
qualified wrestlers at nine of the ten collegiate weights.
The Danes are currently ranked 14th.

“We wrestled well at the SUNYACs,” said DeMeo,
“but we can wrestle better. Maybe this week.” Oo
