Proposed
budget calls
for deep cuts

By Morgan Lyle

ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Gov. Cuomo’s recently propos-
ed budget calls for a lump sum
reduction in allocations for
SUNY of $47 million.

SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce
Johnstone, in a statement releas-
ed last week, said the recommend-
ed reduction will ‘‘require the
elimination of at least 650
presently filled jobs at the State
campuses,” and could lead to
“curtailment and even elimina-
tion of academic programs” and
“school or major program phase-
outs.””

In addition, ‘Given the
damage inherent in the proposed
budget, an increase in tuition
must be a serious consideration,””
Johnstone said.

The proposed 1989-90 fiscal
year budget is not all bad news for
SUNY. Cuomo recommends an
increase of 22 percent for student
child ‘care services and an addi-
tional $5 million for graduate
education and research programs.
The cuts are part of an austerity
budget designed to eliminate a
projected deficit for 1989-90.of.
$2.3 billion. Cuomo blames that
shortfall, as well as the 1988-89
deficit of $1.8 billion, on over-
optimistic tax receipt projections.
The budget calls for total spen-
ding of $46.6 billion, a 7.3 per-
cent increase from the current
fiscal year of $43.5 billion, Some
of that money comes from
sources outside the state’s general
fund, including the federal
government. Spending from the
state’s general fund would be
$29.3 billion, an increase of 4.1
percent.

The budget is a ‘“‘no real
growth”? budget because the in-
crease is less than the rate of infla-
tion, which Cuomo projected to
be 4.7 percent. Cuomo called the
growth rate “the lowest of any
(state) budget in more than a
decade,’”

The $47 million cut is to be
distributed by the SUNY Board
of Trustees. Legislation passed in
1985 gives the Board authority to
administer the reductions, rather
than having allocations to the in-
dividual campuses dictated by the
state.

Arlette Slachmuylder, presi-
dent of the Student Association
of the State University (SASU)
and student representative to the
Board of Trustees, expressed
disappointment over the budget.
“’m pretty upset about it. I
think it’s a bad budget,”
Slachmuylder said. ‘‘Goy.
Cuomo does not realize how im-
portant the University is to the
economic development of the
state.””

“| don’t understand how you
can expect to bring businesses to
the state if you don’t have an
educated work force,’’
Slachmuylder said.

Members of the Athletics Plan-
ning and Policy Board (APPB)
met last Friday to continue debate
on the formation of the Inter-
collegiate Athletics Board, a sub-
ject drawing extensive attention
by students.

The APPB voted five in favor
(faculty and staff), to four against
(students) and passed an amend-
ment that would place control of
monies allocated for athletics
from the student activity fee into
a separate account.

Under a recommendation by
the SUNY Board of Trustees to
form the IAB, last semester, the

posal to recommend to SUNYA
President Vincent O’Leary the
details of the IAB.

O’Leary will then make the
final decision concerning the
TAB.

The intended IAB also notes
the non-compliance with National
Collegiate Athletics Association
(NCAA) policy to date, an issue
that prompted the Board of
Trustees to mandate the formula-
tion of the IAB.

‘About 40 students were present
at Friday’s meeting to protest the
intended control of the [AB over
SA student activity fee money
allotted for athletics, an issue in-
consistent with SA policy, as well
as the Education Regulations of
the state of New York.

The action by the IAB is in
“direct conflict with section 819.0
of SA policy,” said James Lamb,
SA President.

This policy states:

ASSOCIATE ASPECTS EDITOR

There are new restrictions
disallowing Greek organizations
and other college groups from ob-
taining 24-hour liquor license. As
a result, parties at halls such as
the VFW and Labor Temple are
becoming a thing of the past, at
least temporarily.

According to Inter-Fraternity
Council Vice-President, Glenn
‘Graham, the New York State LI-
quor Authority (NYSLA) put out
an inter-office memorandum in
November saying that no sorori-
ty, fraternity, or other college
group was allowed to get a tem-
porary liquor permit for a hall
party.

‘These new restrictions were the
reason that, with the exception of
Studio 55, there were no parties
during the second half of last
semester. Studio 55 is considered
a club, not a hall.

Rich Chernela, the Public In-
formation Officer of the State Li-
quor Authority, said that more

govern and regulate the use of
student activity fees and oppose
all legislation, resolutions and
policies imposed by the
legislature, SUNY Board of
Trustees or campus administra-
tion to regulate or prohibit the use
of the mandatory activity fees.””

“ am bound by that policy,”
Lamb explained, ‘‘as the
spokesperson for SA.””

SA presented a list of 600
signatures protesting the IAB to
the APPB.

In addition, Lamb said the ac-
tions taken by the IAB are in con-

a:

‘APPB has been drawing up a pro- |

applications is the issue, not the
memo in question.

“No one under 21 is allowed to
purchase or traffic alcoholic
beverages. That is the law,”
Chernela said.

The reason why groups who
were initially getting permits are
no longer getting them can be at-
tributed to a closer review of the
applications, Chernela added. No
one under 21 can be on the board
of the Greek group giving the
party.

“Fraternities and sororities
were not the only groups af-
fected,” Chernela said. “All
places using temporary alcohol
permits in lieu of licenses were
skirting around the law. We

with certain requirements. When
it comes to sororities and frater-
nities, there is a high degree of
tisk.””

Technically, if a group is
denied an alcohol permit because
some of their executives are under
21, the resignations of those,
members would be enough to

flict with section 302.14c4 of the
Education Regulations of the
State of New York.

This policy states that all pro-
ceeds of the student activity fee
shall be distributed by the
representative organization, ac-
cording to Lamb.

Until this law is changed, I’m
not handing over our funds,”
Lamb stated.

Currently approximately 25
percent of the $103 student activi-
ty fee money is allotted for
athletics and SA retains control
over it.

The IAB calls for the SA funds

Board votes to control student funds

to be placed in an Income Funds

to be dispersed by the SUNYA
administration (IAB).

“This is not money we pay in

said. ‘“‘We need to relay our
message t6 O’Leary now.”

The proposed composition of
the IAB has been voted as three
faculty members, three ad-
ministrators, and five students.

what would happen in a situation
such as this, Chernela gave no
guarantee: “Each application is
regarded on its own merits and
looked at separately.””

When fraternities started
throwing hall parties last spring
semester, they would, for a fee,
rent liquor licenses from caterers
who would co-sponsor the party,
according to Graham. ‘‘There

was a lot of responsibility involv- |-

ed?’said Graham. “The caterer

Jets intercepted

Seoul, South Korea
(AP) South Korean and U.S. jet fighters
intercepted several Soviet long-range
bombers taking part in unusually large ex-
ercises off the coast, defense officials said
yesterday.

South Korean Defense Ministry of-
ficials, speaking on condition of anonymi-
ty, said about 10 Soviet planes were met
and monitored during their maneuvers
Saturday off South Korea’s west coast.

Up to 20 South Korean and U.S. Air
Force jet fighters kept watch on the Soviet
TU-95, TU-142 and TU-16 bombers, they
said.

Soviet military aircraft sometimes pass
near South Korea flying between Soviet
bases in Siberia and Vietnam, but usually
just one or two at a time, the defense of-
ficials said. South Korean and U.S.
specialists were conducting an analysis to
try to explain the movement of large
numbers of Soviet planes, the officials
said.

Village destroyed

Moscow
(AP) An earthquake destroyed several
mountain villages in Tadzhikistan yester-
day and buried one village under a 45-foot
wall of dirt and mud, killing up to 1,000
people, officials said.

“Almost everbody died,’’ said Zainid-
din Nasreddenov, editor-in-chief of the of-
ficial Tazhikistan news agency, who visited
the buried village of Sharora in Soviet
Central Asia.

A preliminary estimate indicated about
600 people had died there, he said in a
telephone interview from Dushanbe, about
10 miles northeast Nasreddinov said about
10 families lived there.

The total number of deaths is now
evaluated at up to 1,000,” said the official
Tass news agency. It said hundreds died in
Sharora but did not have an exact figure.

The tremor struck about 1,800 miles
southeast of Moscow, north of
Afghanistan and bordering China, at 2:02
a.m. (6:02 p.m. EST Sunday). It was the
strongest quake to hit the Soviet Union
since the Dec. 7 quake that struck Armenia
and killed about 25,000 people.

The U.S. Geological Survey in Golden,
Colo. said it measured 6.0 on‘the Richter

Bush bargains

Washington D.C.
(AP) That outstretched hand President
Bush is offering the Democrats had better
have something in it when they sit down
for hard bargaining on the budget.

The words and the gesture were elo-
quent, but congressional Democrats are
going to want something more concrete.
Bush said what he wants to bargain about;
the question now is what he’ll bring to the
table to negotiate with. He held his first
congressional leadership meeting at the
White House yesterday.

The Preview of Events/Free Listings Box

Submit information at least two days prior to issue

But taxes and spending were part of the
ammunition Bush aimed at the Democrats
during the campaign that won him the
White House. On a hundred platforms he
said Congress would try to force him into
imposing new taxes and he’d say no,
“Read my lips, no new taxes.”

“A new breeze is blowing — and the old
bipartisanship must be made new again,”
Bush said in his address on Friday. “‘To
my friends — and yes, I do mean friends
— in the loyal opposition — and yes, I
mean loyal — I put out my hand.”

He then proposed to extend the idea to
subjects that don’t go near the water. Tak-
ing office before a Capitol dominated by
Democrats — and almost certain to stay
that way throughout his current term — he
said there should be compromise instead
of dissension, harmony instead of discord.

Jackpot attainable

Des Moines, Iowa
(AP) It will be easier to win the Lotto
America jackpot beginning next month.

The Iowa Lottery Board today approved
a new format in which players will get two
plays for a dollar instead of one, and they
will pick six numbers from a field of 54 in-
stead of seven from 40. The winning
numbers will also be drawn twice a week,
with a Wednesday night drawing to go
along with the Saturday drawing.

“It’s our second year and we wanted to
do something different,’’ said Ed Stanek,
director of the Iowa Lottery and chief ad-
ministrator of the Lotto America game.
He said the changes are set to be approved
by lottery commissions in other Lotto
America states plus the Distric of

Columbia.

Under the new game, the chances of
winning the jackpot with a $1 play, which
is the minimum purchase, will be one in
12.9 million compared to the current
chance of one in 18.8 million.

Stanek said the prize, guaranteed at $2
million, will go up much more rapidly
because of the extra drawing. There will
also be prizes for matching five and four
of the six numbers, with the amounts
depending on the number of winners.

Jurors deliberate

New York
(AP) Jurors began deliberations Monday
in the muder trial of accused child killer
Joel Steinberg after the judge said it could
weigh the testimony of Steinberg’s compa-
nion only if other evidence supported her
statements.

“We have reached the point where you
are now to discuss the case among
yourselves,” Justice Harold Rothwax of
the trial-level state Supreme Court told the
jurors in the sensational domestic violence
case.

The jurors, he said, must agree
unanimously on the second-degree murder
charge before they can consider any lesser
charge against Steinberg.

If the jury finds no evidence to support
the testimony of Hedda Nussbaum,
Steinberg’s longtime live-in companion, it
would have to discount her statements,
Rothwax said. Ms. Nussbaum testified
that Steinberg gave her the battered body

of 6-year-old Lisa Steinberg, then left the
house.

Hahn to testify

Albany, NY
(AP) A state prosecutor said he has called
Jessica Hahn to testify today at a court
hearing involving phone conversations the
former church secretary had with Long
Island minister Eugene Profeta.

Profeta is scheduled to go on trial on
charges he skimmed church funds from his
congregation and tried to convince Hahn
to lie to a grand jury about it. His lawyers
are asking state Supreme Court Justice
Joseph Harris to supress as evidence two
taped phone conversations between Hahn
and Profeta in 1987.

Hahn, whose much-publicized sexual
liaison with former PTL head Jim Bakker
helped topple Bakker’s television ministry,
also claims she had an affair with Profeta.

Firefighter dies

(AP) An off-duty firefighter died of smoke

McCastle’s own Engine 2 colleagues

Professor accused of theft

A professor was arrested Jast Friday at the campus bookstore and charged with petit

larceny, Public Safety officials said.

and lan Wagreich

The sight of approximately 200
students, standing on line in frigid
weather, in the middle of the night, is not
an uncommon one when the next morning
marks the start of ticket sales to a big show
at Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

But last Wednesday night, they were lin-
ed up waiting for a different prize: admis-
sion to courses in the School of Business.

“‘When I got there, around 2:30 a.m.,
around 20 people were already inside the
(Business Administration) building,” said
Michelle Benson, a junior.

John Henighan, assistant director of
Public Safety, said ‘‘we got a call at three
or four in the morning. There were about
30 or 40 people in the building.

“Our policy is the building is closed at
10 p.m., unless organied activity is taking
place,’’ Henighan said. They were asked to
leave the building, and did so without
incident.

Students were able to keep their places
in line, Benson said.

By 6:30, when the crowd had swelled to
200, Assistant Dean for Academic Service
John Levato opened the doors and issued
students numbers to facilitate orderly
registration throughout the morning.

Students are aware that seats in the
Business School’s courses are limited.

Tamper-evident smoke detectors

“Tt’s a problem, I think, for
everybody,”’ said Business School Dean
Laurie Larwood. ‘Most of us would like
to give students the education they would
like to have. The problem is, the Universi-
ty has finite resources.”

The long lines are ‘‘a unique
phenomenon as a result of the number of
classes that are open. We’d love more
classes and we’d love to have more facul-
ty,”? Larwood explained.

Larwood said she faces a shortage of
part-time faculty, and has a vacant full-
time position that cannot be filled because
of limited funds.

Pending the outcome of the state’s
budget process, the pinch could be much
tighter at the start of the next semester.

“The big cut will come in the fall,’® Lar-
wood said.

Larwood said that the problem of a lack
of faculty is compounded by the rising
popularity of business education, at
SUNYA and nationwide.

This semester, advanced classes were
saved for those who needed them to com-
plete their majors, but no one was turned
away, Larwood said. :

“My understanding is we had seats for
everybody. They may not have gotten the
courses they wanted, but everybody got
the courses they needed,”” Larwood said.

installed in alarm-plagued halls

Two Barnes and Noble bookstore employees allegedly saw a man leaving the store with
two books for which he had not paid. The employees stopped the man and took him to
the office of Manager Pat Hill, where he was arrested by Public Safety Officers, said
Public Safety Assistant Director John Henighan,

The man turned out to be a SUNYA professor. Henighan said he could not release the
professor’s name.

A Barnes and Noble manager declined comment, saying, ‘‘It is now a police matter.””

“It would be improper to make any statement until the university has looked at the in-
cident to determine if there have been any violations,’’ commented Leon Calhoun,
Director of Personnel Administration. ‘There is not enough information to determine

how he will be affected.’’

The two allegedly stolen books were valued at $32.45.
The professor is scheduled to appear in Albany Police court on January 30 at 9:30

Two students arrested, warrants
issued for fire alarm violations

By Raffi Varoujian
STAFF WRITER

Two students were arrested last week as
a result of a university-wide crackdown on
the increase of false fire alarms and other
fire safety incidents. .

According to Public Safety Assistant
Department Director John Henighan, on
January 17th, a Melville Hall resident was
arrested for discharging a fire
extinguisher.

‘Warrants were also served for the arrests

of two Waterbury Hall students who
allegedly blew cigarrette smoke into a
smoke detector in Tuscarora Hall, Indian
Quad.
On January 19th, an Anthony Hall resi-
dent was arrested for pulling a fire alarm
box. All four students face charges of
criminal nuisance, a class B misdemeanor
punishable by up to 6 months in jail, as
well as referral to the university judicial
system.

Henighan said that Public Safety has an
exclusive policy in dealing with false fire
alarms. As written in the Public Safety
Manual of Rules and Campus Manual of
Operational Procedures, “‘individuals who
are identified as responsible for causing
false alarms will be arrested, and where ap-

plicable, referred to Student Judicial for
internal administrative action.’’

Director of Environmental Health and
Safety Vincent Franconere, whose office is
responsible for health and fire safety pro-
grams, stated that the University has taken
a hard stance on the issue.

“I believe that the hardline stance is
necessary. People do not realize that this is
an extremely serious issue,’? Franconere
said. He added that the new policy is to
protect both resident students and the
Albany Fire Department.

According to Franconere, the four most
common methods of triggering a false
alarm are discharging an extinguisher,
which contains dry chemical, the powder
of which triggers the smoke detector, pull-
ing a fire box, blowing smoke into a detec-
tor and tampering with heat sensors.

The smoke and heat detectors are also
sometimes activated by tampering,
regardless of whether heat or smoke is
present,

Reaction to plus-minus
system is mixed

By John Chartier
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Students were faced with the advent of
the new plus/minus grading sysstem last
semester as opposed to the straight A-E
system that had been used previously.

Reaction to this method of grading have
been mixed among the students and
faculty.

According to a memorandum that was
distributed to the faculty last April, the
new system is not mandatory. Professors
are not required to utilize plus/minus
grading but are, however, strongly en-
couraged to use it according to the
memorandum.

“I encourage it for the sake of uniformi-
ty’’ said Dean of Undergraduate Studies,
Sung Bok Kim. ‘“Plus/minus grading
enabled the professors to grade the
students much more accurately. They
could apply a more refined judgement on
student performance,’’ Kim said.

One maior complaint several students
expressed-that their professors have not
been making it clear whether or not they
will be employing plus/minus grading or
not. One student said that she was under
the impression that she was being graded
by the original A-E system until the pro-

; fessors announced that the new system

would be used just before finals.

“About a week before finals she came in
and told us that she had to use the
plus/minus system,”’ said one disgruntled
student who preferred to remain
anonymous. ‘‘She said it was mandatory,”
the student said.

According to Kim, ‘“‘That’s improper if
a professor said that. That’s a cause for
grievance on the part of the students.”’

The instructor of one class in which this
problem occurred said ‘‘I didn’t say that I
would use it but I didn’t say I wouldn’t.””

Much of the problem as well seems to
stem from the fact that many of the in-
structors were unsure as to whether or not
the system is mandatory. Several students
have complained that their professors fail-
ed to inform themof what system would be
used because they were uncertain.

This has caused many students to have
the opinion that plus/minus grading
should be mandatory or not used at all.
Students also feel that this system has a
negative effect on grades. ‘‘It has an effect
of depressing the grading system,’’ Kim
said. The student previously mentioned
stated ‘‘I wanted to get an A in the course
but the best I could get was an A-. Most
students were pretty upset.’”

Another student voiced his opinion
about the system being mandatory after he
had similiar problems with his classes. ‘‘It
should be used campus-wide because it’s
not fair to students who do better. They
shouldn’t use it unless they have an A+,
because you can’t balance it out.’’

Another student agreed, saying, “‘If two
people are taking the same class with dif-
ferent professors and one professor uses
plus/minus and the other one doesn’t, if
both students got an 89 one would get a B
and one would get an A-. So it doesn’t
really reflect the work you do in the
course.””

The breakdown of the grades is as
follows: A=4.0, A=3.7, B+ =3.3,
B=3.0, B-=2.7, C+=2.3, C=2.0,
C-=1.7, D+ =1.3, D=1.0, D-=0.7, and
E=0.0 oOo

A three-alarm fire ripped
through O’Heaney’s Tavern as
well as six upstairs apartments on
Ontario Street, only two hours in-
to the new year.

According to Assistant Chief
Paul Lajoy, the fire started at 182
Ontario Street and quickly spread
to 184 and 186 Ontario. It took
fire fighters just under an hour

to get the fire under control.

The fire, which was originally
labelled suspicious, has been
found to be an incendiary fire, ac-
cording to Lajoy.

When the blaze cleared, twelve
people were left homeless as well
as an eye and facial injury that
put Lt. Edward Phelps into the
Albany Medical Center Hospital
in serious condition.

The fire was reported by Brian
Jeffers, bartender of O’Heaney’s
Tavern and Joseph Cooper, a
customer in the bar. According to
reports they called the fire depart-
ment when they began to smell

smoke and spotted flames
upstairs.
Lajoy said that all three

buildings were ‘heavily damag-
ed” and O’Heaney’s suffered
severe water damage. Of the six
apartments in the buildings only
four were being rented at the
time.

Among the twelve who were
left homeless were Nancy Bond
and her three children, aged 13,
11 and 3, and Melinda Jones and
her three children, aged 10, 5 and
3, according to a Red Cross
spokesman.

Students around campus who
visited O’Heaney’s seemed to be
shocked and saddened when they
heard the news of the fire.

“Tt was a sociable place to hang
out,‘‘ said Mike Begley, a
sophomore, ‘Even though it was
run down, it was a great way to
just relax,”’ said Jeff Berman, a
Freshman.

This is not the first time that
the spotlight has come down on
O’Heaney’s recently. In mid-
October O’Heaney’s was raided
and owner James Jeffers was ar-
rested for serving alcohol to
minors. This came as part of the
effort to combat underage drink-
ing by the Albany Police Depart-
ment, in conjunction with Mayor
Thomas Whalen’s office.

Jeffers could not be reached to
comment on the fire or the future
of O’Heaney’s Tavern. Oo

New policy for
posiers takes effect

By T. E. Kane
STAFF WRITER

In an effort to curb the posting
on the podium of potentially
harmful flyers that harass in-
dividuals or campus based groups
the administration has revised its
policy and procedure for the
registration of posters.

A letter from Ian Doellefeld,
director of campus life, dated
January 12, to presidents and
chairs of recognized student
organizations, outlined the new
administrations approach of
reviewing materials to be posted
on the podium.

The letter stated that all posters
that are to be posted will have the
name of the individual recorded,
and the student will have to pre-
sent their I. D. card at the Cam-
pus Center Information Desk.

Flyers and posters will then be
reviewed by an information desk
staff member. If the flyer is judg-
ed to have the potential to harass
a university individual or group,
the staff member will then for-
ward the poster to Doellefeld,
who will review its content. The
vice president of Student Affairs,
Mitchell Livingston, and
Doellefeld will determine whether
or not it will be posted.

If the authors of the poster
disagree with the decision by
Doellefeld and Mr. Livingston,
the group may appeal the decision
to the Council on Academic
Freedom, who will render the
final decision.

The administration changed the
registration stamp to-include the

statement “‘Stamp does not imply
content approval.’

That statement releases the
university responsibility in protec-
ting a university student or group
that is sued by another student or
organization who feels the con-
tent of the poster is harassing,
even though the university has
allowed it to be posted, according
to Dollefeld’s letter.

The criteria by which the
university is to review all posters
is “to protect the community
against harrassing messages based
upon race, gender, nationality,
physical condition, sexual orien-
tation, or age,” according to
Doellefeld’s letter.

This statement is an elabora-
tion on what was stated in the
1987 Freedom of Expression Bill
passed in the University Senate
which said ‘University officials
may not prohibit expression for
any reason related to contents of
the expression except as permitted
in those narrow areas of expres-
sion devoid of Federal or State
Constitutional protection.”

The university revised the pro-
cedure and policy of posted
materials because, in review of its
past stance, it found it was not
concise enough to prevent the oc-
currence of the Zeta Beta Tau
Poster incident, and that it did
not send a clear enough message
to the university community on
the position of the administra-
tion, according to Livingston.

“From time to time as an in-
stitution we review our policy,”

Spring semester is off to a (mostly) smooth start

By Gal Mayer
STAFF WRITER

**Controlled chaos, crazy’’ and “‘pretty
uneventful” are two opposite, yet typical,
faculty reactions to the beginning of a
semester at SUNY Albany

The start-up period of a new term is
associated with some degree of adjustment
on both the students’ and the faculty’s
behalf. The first week of this spring
semester, though, is marked by a very
positive and optimistic attitude as far as
the offices of the Dean, Student Affairs,
and Residential Life, and the bookstore
are concerned.

Dean of Undergraduate Studies Sung
Bok Kim explained that his office’s
responsibilities during the start of a
semester include overseeing the registra-
tion process and addressing closed section
problems. Kim said his goal is to ‘‘enable
our students to get into-courses they’d like
to take, and must take to meet
requirements.’”

Kim said that ‘‘by and large’’ his office
has been able to manage these problems
and offered a few explanations to students
that may still be having problems. A lot of
complaints that arrive at Kim’s desk are
about closed Psychology and Business
School courses, a problem that he at-
tributes.to. ‘‘too..many. (Psychology) ma-
jors”’ and ‘‘too many (Business) minors.”’

The Business School, Kim said, wants to
give its majors ‘‘first crack’’ and as a result
minors end up waiting on long lines on the
third floor of the Business Administration
Building for those ‘‘pink slips’’ (closed
section cards). Those Business minors are
advised by Kim to choose a different
minor.

Another problem Kim ‘“‘feel(s) very
strongly about”’ is the closing out of 100-
and 200- level courses; a situation that Kim
will attempt to alleviate by proposing to
University Government a system that
would “prohibit seni

100-level courses, except during the pro-
gram adjustment (drop/add) period as
determined by the University Calendar.”’
This proposal would not include physical
education, fine arts, or music performance
courses, and would not apply towards
summer sessions.

According to Kim, the proposal is
designed to protect freshmen in both
enrollment and their ability to do well in
the class, which suffers because seniors
tend to raise the grade curves.

Kim said that the freshmen also “‘suffer
a double jeopardy’? when they cannot
enroll in higher-level classes because they
cannot enroll in lower-level classes that are
closed, but are also pre-requisites. He add-
ed that this proposal would also help
alleviate that type of situation.

Kim explained that ideally, 50 percent of
the student body should be enrolled in 100-
and 200-level courses and 50 percent in
300- and 400-level courses. Instead, said
Kim, the split favors the lower-level
courses by 70 percent to 30 percent.

Kim went on to explain that he is op-
timistic about several campus programs
that are being started to help students, par-
ticularly freshmen, with difficult courses.

The Early Warning System covers 16
courses (100 sections) at the 100- and
200-levels in which students generally
don’t do well in. The faculty teaching these
courses, Kim explained, are urged to give
early exams to obtain an early assessment
of which students might need help. These
students are then referred to services like
the Tutoring Program or the Faculty Men-
tor Program for help.

As a self-described ‘‘professorial dean,’’
Kim went on to say that the General
Education Honors Program (which he
teaches a course in) has added two more
courses since its implementation in
September, a result of what Kim calls,
“good response.”’

The mechanical aspect of this semester’s
registration and program adjustment
period is ‘pretty smooth, like soup,’ said
Kim, as compared to the long lines of a
year ago.

This enthusiasm for the mechanics of
registration is shared by Vice-president for
Student Affairs Mitchel D. Livingston
who called this semester’s beginning ‘‘pret-
ty uneventful.’’

Livingston said his office is the “front
door to the university’’ and is mainly
responsible for the Admissions office,
orientation, residence halls, and the
Registrar’s office during the start of a
semester.

Livingston repeated Kim’s concern for
closed section problems and said that, “I
can’t get in(to) that class,’ and “I need it
(that class),’’ are common cries on campus
during this period.

Livingston is more concerned, however,
with what he calls ‘emotional crises” that
are met at the beginning of the semester.
He spoke of two incidents concerning
distressed individuals that happened in the
reidence halls on the first night of the
semester and explained that both were
referred to the Counseling Center.

One common cause of such situations,
Livingston said, are relationship break ups
that occur before the end of the previous
semester or back home. Another, he add-
ed, especially for second semester
freshmen receiving their first grades, is the
common case of, “‘I was a straight-A stu-
dent in high school and I got C’s. What’s
wrong with me?’’

The most serious problem confronting
the university in the future, according to
Livingston, is the $47-48 million budget

Minorities, part-time students
swell college enrollment

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — College
enrollment nationwide seems to have in-
creased again, despite long-standing
predictions that it would fall, the
American Council on Education (ACE)
said Jan 5.

In all, enrollment — which nationwide
should stay at about 12.3 million students
— seemed to be up about 1 percent in the
14 states the ACE surveyed, said ACE Vice
President Elaine El-Khawas.

She attributed the gains to “‘increasing
community college enrollment, stepped up
minority recruitment, more part-time
study and rising participation and reten-
tion rates among traditional-aged
students.”

While waiting for the annual official na-
tionwide head counts from the ACE and,
in February, from the U.S. Dept. of

Education, a wide variety of campuses
reported terrible symptoms of
overcrowding.

Officials at the universities. of Miami,
Texas and Connecticut, as well as Clarion
University of Pennsylvania, Mississippi
State and North Carolina State univer-
sities, and Grinnell College in Iowa,
among others, reported jammed dorms
and overcrowded classrooms because more
students than expected enrolled for their
fall terms.

El-Khawas, like other experts, said
enrollments will start falling soon, noting
that 1992’s graduating classes will shrink
by 12 percent.

Agencies from the ACE to the Educa-
tion Dept. have been predicting
precipitous declines in the campus popula-
tion for each fall since 1981. o

break-ins
are down

By Paul Domenico

|STAFF WRITER

A relatively small number of
ldormitory burglaries have been
reported over the winter break,
showing a marked improvement
lin the problem compared to past
lyears.

According to John Hennigen,
Assistant Director of Public Safe-
ity, there were four student theft
reports from the uptown campus
land no reports from the
downtown Alumni Quad. No
break-ins have been reported.
Hennigen said that the burglary
reports all involved small
lamounts of money and there was
Inct any significant property
taken. ‘‘There wasn’t a big loss
lexperience,”’ he said. ‘“‘We have
had more problems in past
lyears.’”

While Hennigen said that it is
|difficult to attribute the decrease
jto any one factor, he noted im-
jprovements in the University’s
security and said that he and his
staff has spent a lot of time ad-
dressing students to the dangers

Library to reduce number of periodicals

By Fred Pasour
‘STAFF WRITER
The university has agreed to a
17 percent cut in library materials
in an effort to reduce the amount
of spending on periodicals.
Periodicals or serials are the

continual subscriptions of
magazines or newspapers.
Meredith Butler, the new

Director of Libraries at SUNYA,
said, “If we continue to buy
periodicals in five years the total
library acquisitions will be taken

up.”’ Thus the library will not
have any more funds to buy new
books.

Butler attributed the increase in
library maintenance with the lack
of funds and the devaluation of
the dollar. Butler said we have
fewer dollars to buy more things
and the dollar is worth one-
quarter of what it once had been
around the world.

The escalating costs of library
materials have been rising faster
than the rate of increases in the

MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR
Dear Dr. King:

Although we will celebrate
your 60th birthday this year, we
are still confronted with many of
the-problems that you faced as a
youth. Many of the social in-
justices that you fought so hard to
rectify are to be found in most
parts of America, even the
freedom loving North.

The Philadelphia, Miss. are
now the Howard Beaches and
Wappinger Falls, New York. the
race riots of August, 1964 (Pater-
son and Elizabeth, New Jersey)
are still common in 1989: Miami
and New York City.

In essence, racism continues to
permeate our educational,
governmental and criminal justice
systems. The status of African
American and Hispanic families
are highlighted by the following
statistics.

In New York
State alone the Governor’s pro-
posed ‘‘Decade of the Child” is
based on a decade or more of
child abuse. This came about due
to increased cocaine (crack)
usage, truancy, as well as an in-
fant mortality rate that is com-
parable to many Third World
nations.

According to New York State
Department of Social Services
1985. statistics, there were 5.2
million children under age 21 liv-
ing in NY State;

—3.3 million were white
—84,000 were African American
—780,000 were Hispanic, and
156,000 were of other origins.

Realizing the importance of the
role our children will play in the
prpetuation of the race, I will
highlight their current plight.

Firstly, the education
(miseducation) system has failed
to produce a fair number of high
school gradueates not to mention
University level.

students who entered ninth grade

In contrast, 79 percent of their
white cohorts graduated with
their class in 1985,

Secondly, as to health care,
non-white babies born in New
York State are more likely to die

Martin Luther King, Jr’s birth-

called Eye On The Prize. A
discussion of the film was held
afterward.

Loretta Redfurn, and Indian
Quad Director, feels that
“‘we’ve come a long way, but
we've got a long way to go.”
She also expressed her concern
about becoming comfortable
with the way things are now.
“Things aren’t settled,’ she
said.

feels that one reason for racial
prejudice is that ‘“‘everyone

However, an attendee who

orking Girl is the best film of the
Wists holiday season! Working
Girl — a veritable shmorgesboard

of laffs!! Soon to become a classic, Work-

ing Girl is the best American-made com-
edy since Tootsie!!

Peter LaMassa

There. Now maybe the people who do
the publicity for the movies I review will
finally quote me and put a “ — Peter
LaMassa, Albany Student Press” in one of
their ads, just like they.do with Joel Seigel,
Siskal and Ebert.

Honestly, Working Girl is an above
average movie with interesting characters
and fine performances by Melanie Griffith,
Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver. Un-
fortunately, it is nothing we have never
seen before.

Griffith is Tess McGill, a hardworking,
attractive secretary with business savvy.
She wants to move up the coporate ladder,
but feels smothered in her male-dominated
world. She joins forces with Ford to con-
quer her bloodsucking boss (Weaver) and
finally get to the top rung.

Deja vu: In. Secret of My Success,
Michael J. Fox plays a hardworking, attrac-
tive executive with business savvy. He
wants to move up the coporate ladder, but
feels smothered in his experience-
dominated world. Etc.Etc. Substitute a
generation gap for a gender gap, and
Working Girl becomes a formula movie.

A serious plus to Working Girl,
however, is the way we see the stars play
roles we are not accustomed. to seeing
them in. Ford's executive knight in shining
armor is a far cry from his Han Solo and In-
diana Jones characters; Weaver's witch-like
Katherine Parker is nothing like that
monster-fighting babe in Aliens, and Grif-
fith’s Tess would never be confused with
the lunatic from Something Wild.”Itis~

lipping the pages of a People
F magazine, | came across an article

which concentrated on the eighties
megastar,(yeah, right) ‘Drew Barrymore.
Drew was confessing about her addictions
to alcohol, pot, and cocaine, all by the age
of 13, The article also contained pictures of
her at age 10 dancing at the Limelight, and
assorted shots of her sucking down drinks
at various trendy bars and clubs.

Now here’s the question. WHAT THE
HELL IS GOING ON! At age 20, I still
have to pray that I'll be able to get a stupid
six pack from mini-mart. Early on, we learn
that life is not fair, but give me a break — a
ten year old partying at a nightclub? At ten
a good night to me was an enjoyable Love
Boat and Fantasy Island combination.

The real problem lies wihtin the actual
drinking age of this nation. At twenty-one
some people are married and having
children, and only then are they allowed to
buy a beer. A bit ludicious. By the time so-
meone is seventeen they can drive, but
thanks to government legislation they have’
nowhere to drive to except the movies
(how exciting). This is why the period of
time between 17 and 21 should be
henceforth ‘known as purgatory. Neither:
heaven nor hell, neither here nor there, just
whatever. ‘

Webster's gives the following definition
of purgatory: a place or state of temporary
suffering or misery.

Got to give that Webster guy credit. He
sure knows how to hit the definition on the

nose. But, why should this time be a state
of suffering and misery, emotionally this
stage of life is all encompassingly difficult.
It used to be easier. At eighteen, you could
vote, and you could drink: A perfect com-
bination. How thoughtful of the
“godwe'resofucking” conservative govern-
ment to screw it up for everyone. You'd
think by now they would realize that
when you make something illegal people
are more apt to do it. Wouldn't it be great
if sex was made illegal.

Enough digressing. Picture this scene.
You're 20 years old. You've got dad’s visa

and a hot date. You're so suave, so smooth,
so cool — so underage. You take your date
to an overly expensive restaurant to try
and impress. You order a bottle of
something from the early 60s. The waiter
laughs at you and says, “You must be kid-
ding!” You go beneath the table so as to
remove yourself from embarassment. Your
date leaves, you pray that God will strike
you down where you stand — no such
luck.

piss, only to realize you couldn't squeeze it
out. What's the point of being twenty?
You're not a teenager anymore, and accor-
ding to our government you're not an
adult either. So what do you do?

Well, most of us walk around doing our
own thing, counting tenths of seconds until
we reach the mythical, and oh-so unat-
tainable age of twenty-one. Why make
twenty-one the age of legality anyway? I
mean the day after my twenty-first birth-
day am I really going to be any different
and any more responsible than I had been
two days before. Its not likely.

This brings us back to Drew Barrymore.
Yes, Drew pisses me off (the fact that she'll
write her life story at the ripe old age of 13
and make millions from it would piss
anybody off.), but I pity her more than
anything else. She tried to grow up too
fast, Ten year olds don’t belong in clubs,
but twenty year olds do. What else do we
have to do? Except for bumming around
and going to college (which is kind of the
same thing). Not much.

'm not holding my breath though. I'll be
twenty-one soon, but in the darkest and
remotest regions of my gut is the feeling
that somewhere out there is a Bible Belt
senator who wants the drinking age raised
to twenty-four. May sound a bit farfetch-
ed, but don’t bet it couldn't happen-
Remember prohibition?

Just as an added note: I hope that Drew
doesn't give up her “life in the fast lane.” In
fact I'm hoping she goes from drugs to sex
because I have an incredible desire to see in

Songs from the Underground for a friend

musical tribute to Andy Warhol,

performed by Lou Reed and John
Cale of the long since defunct Velvet
Underground, is as it was billed, “a work in
progress.” Forget that the first few songs
of the program may have been unpolished,
slightly wrinkled and a bit bare.

Stef McDonald

Sincerity prevails over all else. A touch
of sincerity — heartfelt emotion — is con-
vincing, captivating and definitely worth a
listen. That said, Reed and Cale on stage
before an audience seated in pews at The
St. Ann Center on January 8th
demonstrated that sincerity in song is
enough.

It should even be forgotten that Reed
(on guitar) and Cale (on piano and viola),
with Reed dominating the vocals in his
trademark style, appeared nervous, or at
least reserved. They stuck to the perfor-
mance of the songs with just a brief word
of thanks to the audience for showing up.
It should be forgotten because their reserve
was shadowed by what they were there
for and how they did it.

F orget that “Songs for ‘Drella,” a

“Pop goes pop artist the headlines said,”
Reed sang. “They really hated you, but all
that’s changed.”

Of course all that’s changed. Beyond the
tasteless tabloid headline, Warhol's death
brought on the typical and expected flurry
of countless and insincere eulogies. A
celebrity — the world’s most famous pop
artist — had died and with death comes
worth as it’s said, And although he was
famous for a lot longer than fifteen
minutes, Warhol was never taken very
seriously by the masses.

Now almost two years since his death,
two that knew Warhol well — two that
cared and obviously still do — have offer-
red a tender musical tribute of over ten
original compositions to serve as a sort of
biographical journey set to music. Beginn-
ing with a song devoted to Warhol leaving
his hometown of Pittsburgh for New York
with aspirations of becoming a commercial
artist, “There's no Michaelangelo coming
from Pitsburgh,” “Songs for ‘Drella” pro-
ceded to follow his rise to fame with songs
about him, his life, his art, his death and
how it all has affected these two that knew
him.

“Forever Changed” tells of his impres-
sionable character while “Work — the
most important thing is work” focuses on
Warhol's strict work ethic, Reed and Cale
were, of course, members of the aforemen-
tioned Velvet Underground, a band that

Warhol found, liked, teamed up with
singer Nico, and put up in his New York
“Factory.” “Songs for ‘Drella” is, in essence,
made up of songs that use their own in-
volvement with Warhol as the backbone.
In “Work,” for instance, Reed relays a per-
sonal experience in which he wrote a few

“Pop goes pop artist the headlines

said,”” Reed sang. “They really hated

you, but all that’s changed.”

songs only to be reprimanded by Warhol
who insisted that he should have compos-
ed more than he did. Reed echoes Warhol
in singing, “Nothing matters but work.”
Explaining Warhol's art as he might have
himself, the two offerred some insight with
“Borever Changed,” a salute to his impres-
sionable character, and “Style it Takes,”
which included a reference to the
Underground. In the scheme of things,
Warhol wasn’t actually a creator of art, but
rather an imitator of images, and for it he
was misunderstood. “Some say that I don’t
have feeling/ I think there's a different
meaning.” So while the classicists painted
what they saw (“they look at a tree/ that’s
all they see/ they paint a tree”), Warhol
saw images. “I love images worth
repeating ...see them with a different
feeling” more than adequately summed up
his stand.

Since a lot of license was taken on the
part of Reed and Cale, particularly in
speaking on the behalf of Warhol in many
of the songs, as a legal safeguard the pro-
gram makes a point of noting that “Songs
for ‘Drella” is a “brief musical look at the
life of Andy Warhol and is entirely fic-
titious.” But especially with the latter half
of the show and the sensitive treatment of
his personal life, it’s evident that Reed and
Cale were not fabricating the material.

A song about Warhol's reaction to
blame that the mortality rate at the Factory
was his, Reed sang for Warhol, “It wasn’t
me who shamed you... you did it to
yourself without any help from me.”

Then with the screen behind the stage
displaying a picture of Warhol on a stret-
cher (with the gunshot wound that nearly
killed him), followed by an image of a
cross, there came the sweet “I Believe.”

“Visit me/ why didn’t you visit me?” came
the plea.

“Nobody But You,” a chimey love song
more melodic and embracing than the rest,
with Reed and Cale harmonizing on vocals,
revealed, “I really care although I look like

Ido not. . . since I was shot there’s nobody
but you.”

The closing song, “Hello It’s Me” also
manifested itself as the most affecting song
of the program. As the only song adressed
to Warhol, Reed, assumably speaking for
himself and Cale, confessed, “I know this
makes you feel like a saint... .” But he
didn’t restrain from expressing what the
show was all about: “I really miss you.”

“I hope somehow, someway you liked
the show,” Reed concluded with just

enough sincerity for those in attendance to
want the same. QO

The Student’s
Voice...

Last Friday, a small group of faculty and
administrators proved just how little they
care for the voice of the student
population. This group, the five faculty
and administration representatives of the
Athletic Policy and Planning Board
(APPB), virtually ignored student input
and protest, and approved a controversial
set of recommendations for an
Intercollegiate Athletic Board (IAB). Only
the four student members of the APPB
voted against the proposal, but they were
nevertheless defeated.

Included in these recommendations was
a proposal to place money earmarked for
athletics from the student activity fee into
an IAB—controlled account. Under the
recommendations, the IAB membership
would consist of a majority of faculty and
administrators. Student leaders cried foul,
arguing that student activity fee money
could not be transferred into an account
controlled by someone else.

Despite student’s arguments that this
specific recommendation not be passed
‘until the validity of transferring money is
determined, by. the SUNY Board of
Trustees, the APPB approved the
recommendations. The 40 students present
at the meeting strongly voiced their opinion
about the IAB proposal, and were still
ignored. Not even a petition against the
IAB, signed by some 600 students, fazed
the determined faculty and administrative
members of the APPB. They had their
minds set, and not even an outcry by
students could prevent the passage of these
recommendations.

President O’Leary must take into
account the opinion of the student body
when he reviews the IAB proposal.
Hopefiilly) he willreject the proposal: when’
he*realizes»the’ éxtent'to’ which the student
voice was ignored.

..and the
Student’s Rights

While the 21—drinking age law has
always been a thorn in the side of college
social life, a new policy by the New York
State Liquor Authority might prove fatal to
one of the biggest supporters of social
activity—the Greek system.

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is
being denied temporary liquor licenses by
the New York State Liquor Authority on
the basis that some of its executives are
under the legal drinking age. This same
logic applies to a new state policy of
proofing everyone in a group that
purchases alcohol. This policy is painful to
the Greek system, which relies on the liquor
licenses to host hall parties and other social
activities.

The lack of trust that accompanies this
policy is what makes it so unreasonable.
When the IFC proposed security measures
in its application, they were still denied the
license. That is a direct slap in the face of
the Greek system by the state, who is
basically saying that Greeks don’t deserve
the responsibility.

When the Liquor Authority says Greeks
can’t be trusted, they are also saying that
organizations that voluntarily devote
hundreds of hours to community service
and charity work can’t be trusted. Just how
does the Greek community have to prove
itself to the Liquor Authority?

Obviously, “the Liquor Authority
couldn’t care less about the social life of
this campus. But the students here, Greek
and non-Greek, do. Everyone should work
together to fight these violations of our
rights, and to make sure that the state can’t
take away from students whatever they

~

On Friday, January 20, 1989, just as most students
were beginning the add/drop process, the University at
Albany’s Athletic Policies and Planning Board (APPB)
voted 5-4 in favor of a sub-committee recommendation
to adopt the bylaws of a new Intercollegiate Athletic
Board (IAB). All four students on the board voted
against the proposed recommendations. There’s a very
good reason why they did.

James Lamb

Currently, Intercollegiate Athletics is funded in part
by Student Association while the APPB, in accordance
with NCAA policies, serves as the policy making ad-
visory body of the University, SA allocates a quarter of
a million dollars ($250,000) to pay for equipment,
uniforms, insurance and travel, room and board for
athletes competing away.

The source of this funding is the $103 mandatory stu-
dent activity fee which the student body votes on every
two years. It is the decision of the students, through
their elected representatives, how much they pay for
athletics and other groups, services and programs, and
how the money is disbursed. It is a democratic system in
which students responsibly control their own activity
money.

The IAB would change all this. At a quick glance, the
IAB might seem as though it is harmless and even
beneficial to the University community. Don’t buy it!

The IAB is a mechanism created by the State Univer-
sity of New York to take over the budgetary process of
athletic student activities and take away control over our
student activity money.

WES SACRIFICING A PAWN!
WATS THIS MEAN...?

The IAB would call for the inclustion of activity
money as a source of income. The IAB would be set up
so that the administration would out-number the
students and we would lose 60 percent representation in
the decision making process.

The University would have our activity money
transferred to a University account. All 4 student
members of the Athletic Policy and Planning Board had
a big problem with this, all 4 student members said
“no”? to the IAB.

While the recommendations for the IAB bylaws did
pass last Friday, the student members took a strong
stand against the usurpment of student power and clear-
ly expressed outrage over the University’s intent.

With the support of over 700 students who signed
petitions agains the IAB and attended APPB meetings
to protest, the Student Association has sent a message to
the University that student activity money is student
money.

We believe that the IAB bylaws are in conflict with
New York State Education Regulations, that activity
money is under the juristiction of the Student
Association.

Soon the recommendations for the [AB bylaws will be
Presented to President O’Leary for approval.

It is now time to express our concerns to President
O'Leary and the State University of New York.

Come to Campus Center 116 (SA) and find out more
about the IAB. Together we can say ‘‘no’’ to LAB and
keep the “‘student”’ in student activity fee.

UPD abuse

To the Editor:

Has anyone not yet been administratively abused by
some division of this university? It seems not. I, for one,
just have been.

Let me explain. While attempting to secure a tem-
porary permit for my car which was disabled in the
Dutch reserved lot, I was ticketed. Unwilling to listen to
reason, the public safety appeal board ruled against me.

Based on this and other encounters I’ve reached the
conclusion that public safety is more often than not a
public nuisance, justifying its existence not by enhanc-
ing the safety of this university community, but through
the totally uncompromising enforcement of a multitude
of traffic rules and regulations.

It is no wonder then that public safety’s greatest and
most consistent accomplishment to date has been the
collection of countless number of fines.

Posting Policy

To the Editor

The posters and flyers of recognized University
groups that are brought to the Campus Center Informa-
tion Desk for “‘stamping’’ will now be registered and
recorded. Individuals wishing to have student group
posters “‘stamped’’ must present the original of the flyer
or poster and the student’s University I.D. card to the
Campus Center Information Desk staff.

The University is determined to protect the communi-
ty against harassing messages on posters based upon
Tace, gender, nationality, physical condition, sexual
orientation or age. Therefore, Campus Center Informa-
tion Desk staff are not authorized to register or stamp
such flyers and will refer them to me for further con-
sideration. A decision to approve or deny posting
privileges in these instances will be made by the Ad-
ministration. If a recognized group is denied the posting
privilege due to poster content that is believed to harass
members of a protected class, the group may contact the
Council on Academic Freedom and Ethics of the
University Senate, to question whether the privilege of
posting matierial on podium bulletin boards has been
unfairly denied. Also, please be aware that posters
which may be perceived as harassing can result in a
judicial referral, and that stamping of a poster does not
insure individuals or groups immunity from such a com-
plaing of harassment.

This position stems from the significant issues
relating to the conflict between two important values: 1)
the right of free speech and the other, 2) protection
against harassment on the basis of race, gender,
religion, nationality, physical condition, sexual orienta-
tion or age. If you have any questions regarding this im-
portant matter, please contact me or Mr. Donald P.
Bielecki, Director or Campus Center and Conferences,

The IAB battle

To the Editor:

At Boston Harbor, in the year 1775, when it wasn’t
quite so polluted, a small group of American colonists
took a stand on an issue of great importance in their
day- taxation without representation. That event, now
known as the Boston Tea Party, became a rallying point
around which those same colonists gathered to fight and
conquer the British in the Revolutionary War of the
years that followed.

The point the colonists were trying to put across, tax-
ation without representation is tyranny, was held to be
so basic and fundamental to the American way of
thought, that ‘our whole system of representative
democracy can be said to be based upon it. For over 200
years our Con:titution has served as the supreme law of
the land. So much so that generations of Americans
have been willing to lay down their lives to protect the
principles this document contains.

We are again called to bear arms. Unfortunately, the
threat we face is not the work of a foreign nation or
some evil empire. Were it a foreign nation, we would be
fighting against a common foe, a foe that has never
tasted the fruits of American democracy. We would be
fighting against a foe that simply didn’t know any bet-
ter. To my great dismay, this challenge we now face is
issued by a body that is wholly our own. This body is
one that was designed to run an institution at which the
youth of America could be educated. This body is
known as the Board of Trustees of the State University
of New York.

When I was first informed of this, I, perhaps just like
you are now, wondered what great wrong could a board
of trustees possibly commit. Well, the facts are sim-
ple. . . . They want to steal OUR money.

Every year, students at this university pay a Student
Activity Fee of $103 dollars per-year to your Student
Association. This money is used to fund almost 100
campus groups, sponsor events like Guinness Day,
Winterfest, and Morton Downey Jr.. The money funds
sevices like Five Quad Ambulance, Test Bank and
Copies Plus, as well as a host of other things. Twenty-
seven of those dollars pay for the maintenence of an
athletics program here at the University at Albany. The
athletics budget is controlled through the Intercollegiate
Athletics Committee of our Student Association
legislature.

For years, this use of student money has been con-
trolled, as it should be, by the students through our
elected representatives. In fact, this right to control our
own money is guaranteed to us in Section 302.14c4 of
the Official Rules and Regulations of the State of New
York,(Vol 8, Education(B).). The first sentence of this
section starts of by saying, ‘Proceeds of the Student
Activity Fee shall be disbursed by the representative stu-
dent organization.’’ In short, it says that OUR money
MUST be spent only by the people WE elect to spend it.

In direct violation to the above regulation, the Board
of Trustees has recommended the creation of an Inter-
collegiate Athletics Board (IAB) to assume control of
the portion of the Student Activity Fee we use for
athletics. They want 27 of the 103 dollars each of us
contributes to be taken away from the Student Associa-
tion, put in a separate account (an IFR account), and
controlled only by a board whose membership is made
up a majority of faculty and administrators. The ->
Board wants not only to take away OUR RIGHT to
control S.U.N.Y.’s athletics, but they want to control it
with OUR money.

The Board does present a rationale. They cite the
NCAA guidelines as a legitimate reason for pulling con-
trol out from under our feet. There is one basic problem
with their reasoning, however. Any student who’s ever
taken any type of civics class could tell you that
guidelines of an organization like the NCAA do not
supersede the laws of any state government, no less the
government of the State of New York. Either no one
person on the Board of Trustees has ever taken a class in
civics, or the Board is gearing up to do something that
they know they shouldn’t. My guess would have to be
the latter. t vol 90 fiSiW

Arrests

<3

Stevens, expressed their concern
over the inordinant number of
false alarms last semester.

Residential Life is offering ‘‘a
$500 reward for information
leading to the arrest and convic-
tion of anyone responsible for in-
itiating a false fire alarm, or
caught tampering with and-or
damaging any fire safety related
equipment...we will recommend,
if convicted, the suspension of the
individual(s) responsible, from
the university,”’ the letter said.

Assistant Chief Paul LaJoy of
the Albany fire department - fire
prevention bureau expressed his
concern over the number of false
alarms that the department
responded to last semester. “I
don’t think that the minority of
students responsible for these
alarms realize the danger inherent
in moving three to four pieces of
heavy equipment, each weighing
between 15 and 25 tons, down the
Washington Avenue extension at
55 miles and hour, to the State
University campus. There have
been many instances where our
services were needed somewhere
else while we were responding to a
false alarm at one of the residence
halls.””

The Judicial Board hearings for
two of the four students were held
on Sunday, January 22. Alice
Corbin, Vice President of Student
Affairs could not be reached for
comment.

Mary Gowan, Resident Assis-
tant of Mahican Hall, which had
22 false alarms last semester,
stated ‘‘the general attitude of the
resident students is one of frustra-
tion, we all want something to be
done about it.” oO

Budget

SUNY campuses and their sur-
rounding communities.

“There are many campuses
upstate where the campuses are
the largest employers in the
area,” she said.

Eugene Gilchrist, assistant vice
president for Financial Manage-
ment and Budgeting at SUNYA,
expressed happiness at the
graduate education and research
increases, but said that the budget
cuts ‘‘will affect programs,’’ and
that SUNYA has already been
tightening its belt for some time.

“We have been taking reduc-
tions here — not dramatic reduc-
tions, but reductions nontheless
— for the last 10 years,”” he said,
adding that staffing at SUNYA
has been reduced 8 percent since
1980.

“The proposed budget will re-
quire elimination of at least 650
presently filled jobs at the State
campuses. Clearly this is a retren-
chment budget,’” Johnstone said
in his statement. Retrenchment is
a term, used in contracts between
SUNY faculty and professional
staff and the state, which refers to
the firing of tenured or under-
contract employees in cases of
“*financial exigency.’

‘“*Barring any relief,’’
Johnstone continued, ‘‘the
University must anticipate some
curtailment and even elimination
of academic programs, cutbacks
in student and community ser-
vices and losses in enrollment.

“While campus closures will
not be a response to cuts in the
1989-90 budget, we cannot
preclude other campus structural
changes, such as school or major
program phase-outs.

“Given the damage inherent in
the proposed budget, an increase
in tuition must be a serious con-
sideration,’’ Johnstone said.

Both Johnstone and Board of|
Trustees Chairman Donald
Blinken praised Cuomo’s respect
for the Trustees’ flexibility and
autonomy established in the 1985
law.

“This budget is balanced,”
Cuomo said in a statement releas-
ed with his budget presentation
on Jan. 17. “There are no
margins. Perhaps others will have
different and better ways to
achieve balance, but they must be
demonstrated. This budget is
balanced on all the supports
found within it. There is no
redundancy. Each cut and
revenue source is essential. If one
is removed, it must be replaces
with an equivalent, or the struc-
ture — the budget — collapses.

“This budget cannot ac-
comodate any additional increas-
ed spending without reducing
specific spending I have propos-
ed, or by raising new revenues.
Those who wish to add spending,
to this budget will have to
demonstrate the source of the ad-
dition. They’Il have to give to get.
There is no free lunch,’’ Cuomo
said. Oo

Shaw predicted that if liquor
licenses continue to be impossible
to obtain, then the number of
house parties will increase. “‘A
party at a hall ia a lot safer than a
house party, where there is no
security or liability, no one check-
ing ID’s, and kids from Albany
High are getting in. We are work-
ing within the law, but we are be-
ing pushed towards going around
it. It gives students a bad rap,’’
Shaw said.

According to Shaw, IFC Presi-
dent Steven Behar proposed last
semester throwing a party at the
Albany Armory that would be
sponsored jointly by all of
SUNYA’s Greek groups (18
fraternities and eight sororities).
He offered to provide alternate
beverages, bonded security
guards, liability, and accident in-
surance. The proposal was turned
down, but tentative plans remain
for a similar function sometime
this semester, if the NYSLA ever
approves the permit, Shaw
explained.

A hearing between the IFC and
NYSLA was held on Jan. 18.
“We just wanted to test the
climate of the NYSLA,”’ Graham
said. ‘Find out why we were
denied, and what we had to do...I
think they recognize our merits
and we will follow through with
their suggestions.”’ oO

Inauguration

421
sylvania Avenue

The evening following the day’s
swearing in, there were eight in-
augural balls held throughout
Washington D.C., all of which
the President and First Lady,
wearing a blue and black dress,
attended.

If this were not enough to
celebrate the Bicentennial of the
Presidency, the Bush’s took it one
step farther to bring it closer to
the American people on Saturday
morning. They held an open
house at the White House, an
event that had not occurred in
over 80 years. The first group
allowed in were given a special
honor of a guided tour of the
White House by the President
and First Lady personally.

The inaugural events wound
down on Saturday night with a
rhythm and blues concert at the
Convention Center and the Texas
salute to the President at the
Washington Hilton. Both were at-
tended by the Bush family for
about a half hour each.

At the end of Inaugural Week
the Planning Committee had suc-
cessfully pulled off the biggest

and busiest Presidential In-
auguration in the history of
America. o

The writer attended the Inaugurai
ceremonies in Washington DC
and is the Student Association

this cut will manifest itself on this
campus in the form of closed
courses, fewer offerings, reduc-
tion in staff that provides support
services (i.e. Financial Aid of-
fice), and a morale problem. He
quickly added though that
“(SUNYA is) one of the most
planful universities I’ve ever been
in,”’ and as a result, ‘“‘we do fairly
well.’”

Livingston added that he “‘nor-
mally does not do commercials
for people’’ but this university is
marked by “pretty damn good

management’”’ due to University
President Vincent O’Leary’s
management style. O’Leary, Liv-
ingston said, has been ranked at
one of the top 100 university
presidents for his ‘‘visionary,
planful’”? management.

Another issue on this campus
that has seen some changes this
semester is fire safety, said Liy-
ingston. He explained that due to
the excessive number of false fire
alarms last semester, particularly
during finals week, a $500 reward
has been instituted for people that
turn in fire equipment tamperers.
Since the beginning of this
semester, he added, four people

have already been apprehended
for tamperings, an act that could
lead to arrest, fine, jail, and dor-
mitory and academic dismissal.

Associate Director for Residen-
tial Life Geneva Walker-Johnson
also quoted student safety as the
most critical issue at the beginn-
ing of this semester. ‘‘Any time a
person’s, or several persons’ lives
are endangered, we (Residential
Life) have to respond according-
ly,” she said.

She added that there were a
“phenomenal number of evacua-
tions’’ last semester and that such
tamperings are ‘‘terribly
inconsiderate.””

Walker-Johnson said Residen-
tial Life’s main reponsibilities at
the start of the semester are get-
ting the rooms ready, making sure
there are enough keys and rooms,
helping with “‘setting in,’ and
answering any last minute ques-
tions. She added she is ‘‘quite
pleased’’ with the term’s progress
and has not experienced any ma-
jor problems yet.

“Controlled, chaos, crazy’’
was the reaction of Barnes and
Nobles’ Manager John Styles who
said that although ‘“‘business is
good”’ during the first week of the
semester, he must still cope with
the large volume of transactions

that occur at this time.

Styles explains that the “rush
hour”’ is around 2 p.m. and bet-
ween classes and the secret is to
come in at 5 p.m. when there are
extended hours.

Other improvements include
the increased number of books
being bought back, the fact that
professors got their orders in ear-
ly, increased cooperation on the
Registrar’s behalf, less shipping
problems, and a new system
which allows for the lines at both
the store and the buyback counter
to fill up until closing time
without being cut off, said Styles.

Central Council resumes work, prepares for budget

By lan Wagreich
NEWS EDITOR

The Student Association Cen-
tral Council met last Wednesday
night for the first time this
semester, passing two bills in its
two hour session.

“T would like to see a proactive
council this semester instead of
reactive,’? said Shawn Thomp-
son, Central Council chair. ‘‘I
think we were in a slump and we
need to pull ourselves out of it.’”

With the beginning of this
semester the Student Association
(SA) finds itself without a pro-
gramming director after Ronnie
Joseph who formerly held that
position resigned for unspecified
reasons.

The program director helps to
set up such large events as
Mayfest, Guiness day, and
Parents weekend. In addition, the

has not yet appointed anyone to
take Joseph’s place. ‘‘I really
haven’t got the time yet to train

later in the semester when I’ve
stabilized things,”’ she said. In the
meantime she is handling the
duties of the position herself.

When asked why Joseph resign-
ed Cohen said she had no right to
say. While Joseph declined to
comment on why she resigned,
she said that she would still be ac-

The SA Central council passed
a bill last Wednesday to appoint
two speciall assistants to the vice
president. More specifically to the
programming office.

Council passed the bill to ap-
point Edmund J. Stevens as a
group liason (getting programm-

last Friday.

At issue is the control of SA

Lamb also announced that his
appointments to the affirmative

Doellefeld added.

“We wanted to articulate with
greater clarify our position,”
Doellefeld said, ‘‘and focus on
clearly defined policy on the
delicate balance of free speech
and the protection of an in-
dividual rights against being
harrassed.’”

The administration needed a
system of preliminary review in
case the content of a poster is in
question, Doellefeld added.

The university’s more clearly
defined policy and system of
poster review is based on ‘‘the
narrow areas of expression’’ that
are not protected by the limited
States Constitution. The system
of poster review is to act as a
preventative measure to ensure

harrassed by a poster and the
group that posted will not be
hurt, Livingston said.

“The administration has not
changed its stance, nor is it saying
anything different than before,”
Livingston said, ‘but we’ve made
it clearer to the community what
our stance is.””

Livingston insists that a crucial
difference between the new and
old policy ‘‘is that administration
will not wait for the harrassment
to occur.”

“Some might say that the
review of posters that are to be
posted is enfringement of free
speech,’’ Livingston said, ‘but
it’s not the fact that you review all
Posters, but it is the criteria that
you use to review,’’ he added.

“The university remains flexi-
ble and open in its criteria for
reviewing posters,’’ Livingston
said. o

—In 1984, four in 10 African-
American and more than five in
10 Hispanic children lived in poor
households compared to one in 10
white children.

Finally, to be born black and
male in America today, one is six
times more likely than white
males to become a victim of
homicids. Black and Hispanic
youths are more likely to be a vic-
tim of violence than their white
counterparts.

—Of African American youth
five to 19 years of age who died in
1986, three in 10 were victims of
homicide.

—Of Hispanic youth five to 19
years of age who died in 1986, one
in four were victims of homicide.
—Of White youths who died in

1986, fewer than four percent
were victims of homicids.

All in all, these problems are
reflective of our society, one in
which the color of skin dictates
you success or failure. It often
seems hopeless to many who see
the genocide of the race as a fixed
political agenda.

Book exchange offers students an alternative

By Elizabeth Meltzer
STAFF WRITER

Students who found Barnes and Noble
their only choice to purchase or sell back
books in the past, are now finding an
alternative to that situation.

The Student Association and the New
York Public Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG) have begun a book exchange
that has yielded “‘impressive”’ results, ac-
cording to Laurie-Beth Cohen, Dutch
Quad Central Council representative.

Chris Beauchamp from NYPIRG was
responsible for the beginnings of the
book exchange, Cohen said.

According to Cohen, this is a service
organized solely for the benefit of
SUNYA students. It allows both the
students who want to sell their used
books and the students who want to buy
used books the opportunity to get in
touch with one another.

The main people who have been work-
ing to orgainze and establish this service
are Cohen, Genevieve Conner, and
Henry Baranczac, who is the coordinator
from the NYPIRG end.

“*A lot of people are involved,’’ Cohen
said. ‘‘People were fed up with long

lines,’’ and only receiving a fraction back
of the original costs.

The need for this service is overwhelm-
ing. According to Cohen, “‘the need is
obvious from how it has taken off.’”

The results have been immpressive.
“We expected 500 books and we were
scared we were not going to get that
much,’’ Cohen said. Fortunately, the
book exchange has not worries at this
time as they can boast upwards of 1300
books and over 550 titles.

The original deadline to add a title to
the list was December, but since many

people did not receive forms on time, the
deadline was extended to Jan. 20, this
past Friday, Cohen added.

When asked about her reaction to the
success of this project, Cohen responded
by saying she was ‘‘ecstatic.”’ “‘People
have come up to me and thanked me.
This is one of the most uplifting things
I’ve ever done.”

SUNYA students can expect this pro-
gram to continue in the future since
Cohen expects an ever greater response to
come. ‘‘The hardest part is the first
one.” 1s

Bicentennial inauguration, biggest ever , ushers in Bush

By Jeff Flynn

On Friday, January 20, 1989 George
Herbert Walkes Bush was inaugurated as
the 41st President of the United States and

_ James Danforth Quayle our 44th Vice

President.

Making the event ever more important
was the Bicentennial of the Presidency
which meant more celebrating than ever
before.

The events began on Wednesday with
the opening celebration of fireworks at the
Mall. It continued that evening with the

On March 21 the marchers

1965, the Voting Rights Bill was
passed into national law.

Last year Dr. King’s birthday
was celebrated campus wide
with a showing of the same film.
The. event’s-positive- response
prompted Indian Quad’s board
to hold a similar event this year.
Indian Quad Director Bryan

Wilson declared ineligible for Superbowl

Miami
(AP) Stanley Wilson, trying to come back
from a five-year battle with drugs, was
barred from the Super Bowl because of a
cocaine problem that has ended his foot-
ball career, Cincinnati Bengals coach Sam
Wyche said Sunday night.

“Stanley Wilson didn’t screw up,”
Wyche said after the Bengals were beaten
20-16 by San Francisco. ‘‘The cocaine
overtook him, and I don’t know but that
our country is going to hell in a hand-
basket and we don’t know it. This is a
symptom of it.””

Wilson, who has missed two full seasons
because of drugs, was declared ineligible
for the Super Bowl hours before the game
because of what the NFL said was a viola-
tion of league substance abuse policy.

No one would say exactly what happen-
ed. But NFL spokesman Joe Browne said
Wilson ran into problems Saturday night,
when he missed a team meeting.

Refusing to give a detailed account of
what led to Wilson’s latest troubles,
Wyche said: “The league will make all
statements on that. We’re going to do that
for the sake of Stanley. I still love the man.
I’m still pulling for his life. Football is now
over for him, but his life is not.”’

Wyche said there would be no appeal of
any action taken by the NFL against
Wilson.

Wilson, suspended twice and penalized
three other times because of drugs, has
been in and out of rehabilitation since
1983. Wilson, the Bengals’ third-leading
rusher this season, was Cincinnati’s
primary backup.

His suspension left Stanford Jennings,
who carried only 17 times this season, in
the role. Jennings rushed only once in the
Super Bowl for the three yards.

Cincinnati police chief Lawrgnce

Whalen, who is helping with security at the
Super Bowl, confirmed the violation stem-

med from an incident Saturday night.
Whalen said Wilson was not arrested, but
would provide no further details.

Brown would not say if the information
came from the Bengals or if it stemmed
from a drug test. He said no other infor-
mation would be released.

“We are pledged to confidentiality,”
NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle said.
“You can be certain I will meet with him,
but I don’t know when. That’s all we can
say because of confidentiality.”

Wilson missed the entire 1987 season
with his fourth drug problem and had been
cleared to return to the league by Rozelle
last summer.

Wilson was admitted to a drug treat-
ment facility in December 1983, his rookie
season. In August 1984, he required fur-
ther treatment, and after relapsing again,
he was suspended indefinitely Oct. 30,
1984, missing the entire 1985 season.

He was reinstated May 6, 1986, after
petitioning the league. But he was suspend-
ed again June 24, 1987, and reinstated
April 20, 1988.

Under the NFL’s drug policy, only
violations since 1986 count for discipline
purposes, because that’s when the league’s
current policy was instituted.

Browne said it had not yet been deter-
mined whether Wilson’s suspension would
carry into the 1989 season.

“You wonder what the future of the
fellow is,” Bengals president John Sawyer
said. “‘Historically, you know it’s not suc-
cessful, but you always hope, I’m sure a
lot of thought will be given to the future,
but I wouldn’t want to make a spur-of-the-
moment decision.’’

Mike Brown, assistant general manager
of the Bengals, said, ‘I’m disappointed
and saddened. ...It’s a surprise, We didn’t
know anything until late last night. We lost
a productive player. It’s a setback, one
were going to have to overcome.”

ED

SPRIN

Wilson previously called his addiction to
drugs “‘slow suicide.’’

In addition to drugs, Wilson was charg-
ed with disorderly conduct on Jan.5 for
urinating on the sidewalk outside of a
nightclub at Newport, Ky., across the river
from Cincinnati. He faces 90 days in jail
and a $250 fine if convicted.

This past week, during the rioting in
Miami, Wilson’s car was hit by a rock. It
was a frightening brush with danger, a
reminder, he said, that ‘‘there is a lot going
on outside football. There’s more to life
than the Super Bowl.”

“Ten years from now, nobody will
know who Stanley Wilson is’’, he said. “If

they could focus on his being and who he
is, he would be a success.’

Recovery from drugs is not an easy tsk,
Wilson said.

“T haven’t met anyone yet who had a
bad problem and got it the first time,” he
said. ‘‘The saddest thing about people in
the system is that they have a hero and
then want to break him down. I enjoy
where I’m at and where the team is today.
I try to keep everything in perspective.

“My whole philosophy is to stay in the
moment, keep myself busy and not get in-
volved in other things. It’s good for me to
stay busy, be more productive. In my
situation, it’s not good to have idle time.”

Dane men’s track team ties Columbia Lions

By Steven Silberglied
‘STAFF WRITER

While many SUNYA students enjoyed
their last week of winter break, the men’s
track team was at Albany training for the
start of their indoor season.

In the past, the team has had sluggish
opening meets. Albany Coach Roberto
Vives was determined to start the season
on a positive note, and not to slip
backwards after their early season success.

The hard work paid off as the Danes
were 4-0-1 in the six team Columbia
Invitational.

Albany and host Columbia tied for top
honors with 145 points. Colgate, was se-
cond with 113. Behind them were
Williams’ 90, Union’s 35, and Hartwick’s
15. The meet was particularly satisfying as
Williams has defeated Albany in their in-
door debut the past two seasons. The
Danes also avenged a cross country
shutout at the hands of Columbia.

This was accomplished despite the fact
that Albany’s tri-captain Dave Reinhart
was injured. The Danes also dropped the
baton in the mile relay, and an Albany
runner was declared ineligible in the 1000
meters that would have scored one addi-
tional point.

Coach Vives was very pleased at the out-
come. He said, “In previous years, we
would come into this meet unprepared and
with only half a team. It is satisfying to see
that this team is so committed. Columbia,
Colgate and Williams are probably all bet-

ter than last year, but we are much improv-
ed over last year.””

Albany claimed first in four of the eigh-
teen events (compared with Columbia’s
seven), but the Danes scored in sixteen. In
the four sprinting events, Albany scored
an impressive 52 points of a possible 124.

Coach Vives lauded the efforts of
freshman Todd Buckley and Junior John
Ashley. They were respectively named the
track and field ‘‘Athletes of the Meet.””

In a tight race form the gun, Buckley
won the 1000 meters in 2:35.6; the same
time as Columbia’s Doug Teasdale. The
two runners ran their opening quarter mile
in a furious 64 seconds as the lead changed
three times.

On the last lap Buckley surged ahead for
good, holding off several of Teasdale’s
challenges as Buckley was able to record
his first collegiate win. Fellow Albany
Freshman Joe McCullen placed fourth in
that event with a time of 2:34.1.

Buckley and McCullen teamed up with
Freshman Gregorio Luciano and Junior
Jim Clancy to finish second in the 3200
meter relay with a time of 8:17. Buckley’s
2:02 800 meter split was the team’s best.

Ashley, a transfer from Eastern
Michigan, was successful as he competed
for the first time in two years. He won the
triple jump in 45’4”’ and was second in the
long jump leaping 20°10”.

Another Albany victory in the field was
turned in by freshman Tom Mead. His 14
foot pole vault won the competition. Mead

also chipped in with a fifth place in the
long jump.

The Danes most dominant event was the
55 meter hurdles. Sophomore Juan San-
chez, a state champion last spring, had a
victorious debut meet by winning in 8.1.

Sanchez was capably backed up by
Freshman Wilfredo Rodregiuez and and
Senior Michael Wasserman. Rodreguiez
was second, also timed in 8.1, while
Wasserman was fourth in 8.2.

Albany received fine performances from
sprinters Jose Maymi, Derrick Westbrook,
and Rob Demaio. Maymi, a sophomore
was tied for second in the 200 meters in
23.1 and third in the 55 with a time of 6.6.
Westbrook followed Maymi in both events
as the freshman was fourth in the 55 at 6.6
and fifth in the 200 in 23.1. Demaio also
placed in the 200 as the sophomore was
timed in 23.5 for 200 meters to claim
fourth place.

There was some controversy regarding
Maymi’s time and place in the 200. The
Albany coaching staff and other timers
clocked Maymi under 23 seconds in the
first heat.

However the official time was 23.1. This
enabled a Williams College runner in the
second heat to tie Maymi.

Thus the Danes were forced to split the
second and third place points. The net
result was that the Danes lost only a point;
yet it eventually became a very important
one.

Albany Freshman Michael Brazetti was

also involved in a tie for second place; in
the high jump both Brazetti and a Colum-
bia jumper cleared 6’2’’ with the same
amount of misses. The mark qualified
Brazetti for the state meet, the first Albany
high jumper to accomplish this in three
years since Division III National Cham-
pion David Walker.

Albany’s Middle and Long Distance
units contributed with three third place
finishes. Freshman Scott Hughes’ 2:01.8
800 meters, Freshman Gregorio Luciano’s
4:13.3 1500 meters, and Junior Chris
Kranick’s time of 9:19 for 3000 meters.

Other notable Albany efforts were turn-
ed in by Senior tri captain Bruce Gaynor,
Sophomore Mike Salmon, and Junior
Craig Lafay. Gaynor placed fourth in the
500 meters in 1:09.8, Salmon’s 52.7 400
meters captured fourth place, and Lafay’s
toss of 42 feet in the shot put placed him
fifth.

Coach Vives said, ‘We picked off right
where we left off before the break which is
where I had hoped we would be. We are in
a very good position for the rest of the
dual meet season and hope to peak at the
state meet.’”

Albany will travel to R.P.I. tonight to
renew what has become an intense rivalry.

In the past three years the schools have
met in dual meet competition six times
(both indoors and outdoors) with the
schools splitting the series. The Danes are
out to avenge the Engineers upset victory
of a year ago- a

San Francisco
wins Superbowl

Miami
(AP) The seed that grew into San Francisco’s 20-16 Super
Bowl victory over Cincinnati was planted a year and a
half ago. But it needed cultivating by Joe Montana, Jerry
Rice, Roger Craig and ultimately, John Taylor, during a
brilliant, 92-yard final drive Sunday to make it blossom.

Montana fired a 10-yard touchdown pass to Taylor
slicing’over the middle with 34 seconds left for the game-
winning score, then raised both fists skyward, awash in
the wave of cheers that cascaded down from the stands.

“Jt was tough. We really started back there,’”” Montana
said, describing the 11-play, 49er gold rush that began
with 3:20 left. :

“But we were still confident,” he said, “and it showed
out there.’’ S

Some of that confidence was born, no doubt, in a last-
second victory over Cincinnati that came in the second
game of the strike-shortened 1987 season.

In that one, the Bengals were holding a 26-20 lead and
facing a fourth-and-28 at their own 30 with six seconds
Temaining.

pare than punt, however, Cincinnati coach Sam
Wyche opted to send running back James Brooks into the
line. The 49er defense rose up, threw Brooks for a five-
yard loss and turned the ball back to magician Montana
and Co., with all of two seconds left.

That, it turned out, was enough time for Montana to.
cover the final 25 yards, finding Rice in the right corner
of the end zone and giving San Francisco one of its
biggest lar season victory.

Basis oe counted for more and it must have
been a even-more bitter pill for Wyche to swallow. The
1987 game was like picking a pocket; this time, the 49ers
tugged him and carried away the world championship.

“We knew when Joe got into the two-minute offense
that he’s a master at it,””Wyche said. “‘So it didn’t come
as a surprise...

Three quick passes from the San Francisco 8 ate 23
Yards in a hurry, and two Craig runs for five yards moved
the ball to the 36.

“*As we got going you could see (Montana’s) eyes light
Up,” 49ers center Randy Cros said. ‘‘About halfway
through that final drive like that (except Montana).””

Then with familiarity born of experience, a cool Mon-
tana hung back long enough in a crumbling pocket to find
Rice for 17 ards up the left sideline and come back over
the middle for 13 more to Craig.

“That was the thing that did it, the protection up
front,”’ Montana said. “I said to myself...I’m still stan-

up.”

The Bengals, their confidence eroding, turned to the
Sidelines for help. Safety David Fulcher and nose tackle
David Grant began waving their arms wildly, hoping
Noise might do what they could not — panic Montana. 0

The University at Albany’s swimming teams swept
Saint Michaels on Saturday January 21. The women’s
and men’s teams won by similar scores of 104-81 and

than it really was. the last few events for Albany’s teams
were exhibition: St. Michaels received all of the points.

The Great Dane men are 5-1 and the women are 7-3.

two events.

the 400 medley relay. Frank Skibo, Axel Ward, Rick
Van Brunt, and Steven Stern combined for a time of
4:05 to give an 11-4 lead to Albany. SUNYA never look-
ed back.

Danes keep winning

Men are 11-4

While Albany students were home on
winter break, the men’s basketball team
was working in University Gym.

Albany’s first recess victim on January
was Eastern Connecticut 76-60.

Two nights later they held off Catholic
University 73-63. Again Teague was the
high man tallying 27 points.

After cruising past those foes the Danes
traveled to New Jersey to face Montclair
State. The Danes were able to squeeze past
Montclair by three and register their fifth
conservative road victory of the season,
67-64.

Matt McClure led all Albany scorers
with 19, including a driving layup which
gave the Danes the lead with 0:59 remain-
ing in the game.

““We weren’t ready to play. But our
man to man got tougher and that’s what
turned it around,” he added.

Albany held Montclair scroreless for the
final 4:30.

Albany continued their road trip, witha
tough game at Buffalo State.

Frustrated by poor shooting, including a
one for eight effort from the dependable
sharpshooter McClure, the Danes fell to
the nationally ranked Bengals 76-63.

It didn’t take long for Albany to shake
off the loss to Buffalo State and begin a
new winning streak.

They finished the break by beating
Union College 61-53. The Danes balanced
scoring was led by Matt McClure’s 12
points. Oo

Women cagers beat. Plattsburgh

By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR

Talk about a long weekend.

The Albany women’s basketball team
held off a late Cardinal charge for a 74-63
win over Plattsburgh State last night at
University Gym.

During the weekend the Danes traveled
to, Russell Sage in Troy where they won
their seventh consecutive Capital District
Tournament. The victories raised
Albany’s record to 10-4.

The wins were over Albany College of
Pharmacy, 85-42 and RPI in the cham-
pionship game, 60-52.

‘The three games in three days had an ef-
fect on Albany.

“Emotionally, ’m losing my mind,”
said junior forward Pam Wilson kidding-
ly. “‘It’s tough on everybody.”

“Good teams play under all cir-
cumstances,” said Albany head coach
Mari Warner. ‘‘There’s no question it has
an effect on them.”?

Warner added, ‘You have to learn to do
it on your own. Yow have little time to
prepare, but that’s not an excuse because
it’s not x’s and o’s,””

Albany got off to a quick start against
the Cardinals. Forward Sue Stempsey
scored seven of the Danes’ first 10 points
(one basket was a three pointer) as Albany
led 10-2, with 15:53 left in the half.

The Dane onslaught continued as they
increased their lead to 24-10, 8:25 remain-
ing in the half.

Plattsburgh cut the Albany advantage

down to 31-23 with 1:20 left, but the Danes
scored twice to make it 35-23 at halftime.

The beginning of the second half saw the
Danes pick up where they left off.

Albany’s Gina Richardson scored and
was fouled by the Cardinals’ Peg Crotty.
Richardson converted the free throw to
complete the three point play. It was
38-23, Albany, only 30 seconds into the se-
cond half.

The lead stayed in double digits until the
Cardinals’ Donna Dixon started to take
charge. She scored six points in a two
minute span to draw Plattsburgh State
within six, 45-39 with 11:44 left. Dixon
finished with a game high 26 points.

Stempsey answered back 19 seconds
later with her second three-pointer, to get
the Danes back up 48-39.

But no matter what Albany did, they
couldn’t shake off the Cardinals.

Dixon got Plattsburgh within four,
50-46 with 8:14 left.

And just like before, Albany used a
three point scoring play to hold on.

This time Dane center Mindy
McLaughlin scored and was fouled by the
Cardinals’ Jane Dillon.

McLaughlin converted the free throw
and Albany led 53-46 with a little under
eight minutes remaining.

It stayed around an eight point lead until
about three and a half minutes left. The
Cardinals’ Lisa Brelia scored four straight
points and Plattsburgh trailed by two,
59-57.

The Danes almost gave the Cardinals a

chance to tie. Tia Carnwright was fouled
by McLaughlin. Carnwright missed the
first of an one-and-one. Dixon grabbed
the rebound, but was called for traveling.
Poessesion went to the Danes.

After that it was Albany’s game to lose.
The Danes poured it on to win, 74-63.

Recently, Albany’s Achilles heel was
their free throw shooting. They have
quickly changed that, as the Danes made 9
of 12 in the last five minutes. The im-
provement has helped them win.

Nothing could prove that more then
Sunday’s Capital District final against
RPI.

The Danes were 15-21 in the 60-52 win.
What helped the Albany cause was that the
Engineers were 8-17 from the line.

Again it was another nail biter. Despite
leading from the start, the Danes trailed by
six, 40-34 with 12:58 left in the game.

Albany never gave up as they battled
back and tied it at 42 all on two Lisa Car-
racio free throws.

The Danes still trailed 46-45 with five
minutes left. Once again Stempsey scored
an important basket. This one put Albany
up 47-46 with 4:23 remaining.

Using a 15-6 run, the Danes won
another Capital title. Warner has never
lost one as an Albany head coach.

On Saturday, Albany overwhelmed
ACP 85-42, which put them in the cham-
pionship game.

The wins break a three game losing
streak Albany suffered during the break.

Beat Cardinals

Last night at University Gym the Albany
men’s basketball team continued their win-
ning ways, beating Plattsburgh State
71-61.

The win raised the Danes’ record to
11-4.

Albany faced a much taller Cardinals
squad which boasted a 6’8” freshman
center, Todd Wright.

Wright was neutralized by the experienc-
ed Albany front line of Russ Teague, Steve
Jermyn, and Michael Shene who played
tough minutes for Dane coach Doc Sauers
off the bench.

Teague led a balanced Dane attack with
18 points, but more importantly 14
rebounds.

Freshman Jeff Farnsworth and Matt
McClure each had 14 points.

Albany led by 10 at the half, 34-24 and
looked tobe in control. The Cardinals
started to show some life in the second
half, and cut the lead down to six.with five
minutes remaining.

But McClure put all Cardinal comeback
hopes to rest by burying a three pointer to
extend the lead back to nine,

From their, Albany cruised to its’
eleventh victory.

Saturday night, the Danes tangled with
the SUNY Stony Brook Patriots at Univer-
sity Gym.

In their toughest battle of the season,
Albany showed their character and
prevailed 72-70. B

Danes win one
on break

It wasn’t a happy new year for the
women’s basketball team. After winning
their first game during the break, they
lost the last three.

Albany coasted to an easy 66-46 win
over local rival Union College on
January 7. Junior forward Pam Wilson
led the Danes with 21 points and 14
rebounds.

Their winning streak up to seven
games, Albany hosted NYU on January
11. After last year’s 114-107 double OT
loss, the Danes wanted revenge. The
Violets used a strong defense for an in-
credible 56-44 victory. Figure it, last
year, both teams combined for @
women’s record 221 points, this year they
scored only 100.

The Danes then hit the road to Buffalo
to play ex-SUNYAC rival Buffalo State.
The Bengals clawed out a 62-59 win to
hand Albany their second straight loss.
Guard Sue Stampsey led the Danes with
19 points. Gina Richardson tied Cindy
Jensen’s team record with 16 rebounds.

The comforts of University Gym
weren’t much help to Albany as they
were beaten by Keuka 68-48 on January
17. The Danes were led by Wilson’s 16
points.

Albany is past the halfway mark of the
season and still are in the running for a
NCAA postseason bid. Oo
