After a long awaited decision and a year’s absence, Mayfest ac-
tivities will commence as planned in early May.
Due to the death of a student last spring, scheduled Mayfest ac-

Keegan resigns from
SA race and positions

By Karl H. Reichelt
STAFF WRITER

Student Association presidential candidate Bill Keegan has
withdrawn from the upcoming election due to alleged violations of
University election laws.

According to the SA election codes, a candidate must be a full-
time, registered, undergraduate student in order to participate in any
student elected positions.

Keegan satisfied none of the above requirements, according to
various officials and is thus ineligible for the upcoming vote. He has
resigned from Central Council and has been asked to leave campus.

The Student Association, who is resposible for checking the status
of all candidates was unaware of Keegan’s status but gave him time to
prove he was registered.

“The administration notified us of Keegan’s status, we gave him
time to straighten matters up but he was unable to do so,’’ said James
Lamb, SA President. “It is unfortunate he will be unable to run.”

Many questions surrounding Keegan’s status have surfaced, leaving
the administration and Keegan perplexed. Keegan claims he is
registered but has no documented evidence to support this statement.

When asked of Keegan’s SUNYA status, Sun Bok Kim, Dean of
Undergraduate Education, has no comment but his secretary con-
firmed that indeed Keegan has not registered according to their
records.

According to Lamb, all candidates are required to sign a form con-
firming their status and academic backgrounds which Keegan signed,
despite his known shortcomings.

“The responsibilities of this matter fall upon the candidate first,
the Student Association second and the administation as a last
resort,”’ Lamb said. ‘Keegan was subject to candidate screening and
signing the status letter, he couldn’t come through.”

Lamb also said that even if the elections were held last week,
Keegan would have been.off the ballot then.

“We've known about this situation for over two weeks and if
Keegan failed to prove his status, he would have been off before the
April 5 elections,” Lamb said.

Melissa Bower, the Elections Commissioner, claimed that despite
Keegan’s status difficulties, he is not off the ballot.

“Technically, Keegan is not off the ballot because we are awaiting
bureaucratic measures, but it will only be a matter of time.’? Bower
said.

Bower went on to add that this oversight was ‘‘basically the fault of
SA for assuming Keegan’s status based on his long-time involvement
in Central Council and SA.”

“With all the other election problems surfacing, we really didn’t
think to worry about the status of the candidates,” Bower said.

Vice President of Student Af-
fairs Mitchel Livingston said that
the guidelines to run for office are
clear. ‘‘The election process is up
to SA to run. If they failed to
organize, then the administration
would step in. It only makes sense
that Keegan is off the ballot.”

However, Livingston also add-
ed that he has “‘yet to see a year
where no problems existed with
the elections.”

Keegan claimed the whole
situation was the fault of an ad-
ministration computer error.

The World

Sub nota threat

Moscow
(AP) Two torpedoes armed with nuclear
warheads were aboard the Soviet nuclear-
powered submarine that sank in the

Norwegian Sea but there is no threat of |

radiation contamination, Tass reported.

The official Soviet news agency also!
disclosed Sunday that 42 of the 69 sailors:

aboard the vessel were killed when it
caught fire and sank on Friday. It said the
vessel’s reactor was shut down during the
accident.

The Soviet navy today questioned sur-
vivors about the accident, Tass said. It also
said that the captain of the unidentified
submarine, E. Vanin, was among the
dead.

Norwegian officials said the vessel did
not release radiation before or after if sank
more than 4,500 feet in international
waters about 310 miles west of Tromsoe on
Norway’s northern coast.

Gorbachev ends visit

London
(AP) Soviet President Mikhail S. Gor-.
bachev of Friday announced cuts in the
production of radioactive material for
nuclear weapons and ended a triumphant
stop to Britain by inviting Queen Elizabeth
II to Moscow.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
declared Gorbachev’s visit ‘‘very suc-
cessful, warm and friendly,’’ but appeared

unimpressed by his concessions in the.

military field.

She said the reductions in weapons-
grade material ‘‘will have no effect in prac-
tice” because ‘‘they probably have quite a
sufficient stockpile of uranium.”’

Although Gorbachev said arms control
would stall unless the West dropped plans
to modernize its short-range nuclear
missiles, Mrs. Thatcher said her belief in a
nuclear deterrent remains firm.

Strike continues

Moscow
(AP) A general strike halted mass transit
and closed factories in the republic of
Georgia today, witnesses said, one day
after a battle between troops and pro-
independence protesters that officials said
claimed 18 lives.

Authorities banned public gatherings
and imposed a curfew and troops in tanks
patrolled the streets of the Georgian
capital of Tbilisi after the violence in the
city’s Lenin Square early Sunday.

Club-swinging troops charged the crowd
of about 10,000 people that jammed the
square and protesters used flagpoles,
stones and other objects to defend

themselves, witnesses said. One nationalist

said 50 people died.

PREVIEW OF EVENTS

Official sources reported 16 dead and
more than 100 hurt. Nurse Nana
Byelovami of the Central Republic
Hospital reported two more deaths: A
23-year-old pregnant woman who was
beaten and a 50-year-old who inhaled tear

(AP) Health Secretary Louis Sullivan,

health officials on Friday to revise a survey

Sullivan said he was acting to insure that
the federal government does not inap-
propriately intrude into the most personal
aspects of citizen’s lives, while balancing
the need to gain a better understanding of
how the deadly AIDS virus is being spread.

In a statement issued by his office Fri-
day evening, the secretary said his ‘‘initial
review of the survey instrument does in-
dicate to me potential problems with the
tone and content of the questions.’’

He said he ordered the Public Health
Service to conduct a ‘‘thorough review and
revision”’ of the survey to assure it is scien-
tifically sound and “sensitive and ap-
propriate to the proper role of government
in gathering information of the most per-
sonal nature.”’

NY liberal on abortion

Albany, NY
(AP) New York was the nation’s abortion
capital before the U.S. Supreme Court
legalized abortions nationwide in 1973,
and it likely would emerge again as a haven
if the court ever reversed the Roe vs. Wade
decision.

Women wanting to end their pregnan-
cies would have more options than they
did 16 years ago, when 34 states outlawed
abortions, but New York still has very
liberal rules on who may have an abortion.

Some states allow the procedure only
because Roe vs. Wade and would see
renewed attempts to outlaw or restrict
abortions. Fifteen states still have anti-
abortion laws on the books, although there
is debate whether they could take effect if
Roe vs. Wade was reversed.

‘New York would retain the abortion
laws it has now and women from other
states would be a burden” on health ser-
vices, predicted Janet Benshoof, director
of reproductive freedom for the American
Civil Liberties Union.

Under New York’s law, abortions are
permitted up to the 24th week of pregnan-
cy, as long as they are performed by a
physician. Abortions after 24 weeks are
allowed-if a woman’s life is in danger.

QUOTABLE

“If Roe vs. Wade is overturned,
it will create a crack in the Con-
stitution through which millions
of underpriveleged women will
fall.”

Students flex at first bodybuilding competition

ILEANA POLLACK UPS

New Mr. SUNYA, William Gibbs

| By Brenda Kube

STAFF WRITER

On Friday, April 7, the long-awaited Mr. and
Ms. SUNY Albany Body Building and Physique
Competition took place in the University Gym. It
was the first student-run National Physique Com-
mittee (NPC) sanctioned bodybuilding event in the
country.

Nine professional NPC judges evaluated the
competitors, along with a special guest appearance
from professional bodybuilder Tom Terwilliger and
an amateur local bodybuilding favorite - Debbie
Davis, also known as ‘‘Ms. Capital District.”” The
event was well attended and proceeds will be going
to the Ronald McDonald House, since the event
was held specifically for charity. The sponsors were
Waldo Promotions in association with the Pi Lam-
da Phi and Alpha Phi and SA programming.

While the event was considered a success by com-
petitors and the audience, organizers raised ques-
tions about its attendance. Dave Waldman, one of
the organizers, said that Student Association
estimates of the number of people attending were
low, and that the amount of money donated to
charity would be lower as a result.

According to Waldman, SA contributed $4,500
of the event’s $6,000 price tag. That money was to
be paid back from gate receipts, with the remainder
going to the Ronald McDonald House.

SA officials have estimated that about 1,000 peo-
ple attended, which at $5 per ticket would leave on-
ly $500 for charity after SA is reimbursed.
Waldman, and others at the event, said the number
of spectators was higher than 1,000.

Waldo Promotions raised $1,000, and Pi Lamda
Phi and Alpha Phi contributed $500, to the event,
Waldman said.

Thirty-five students competed in the event. The
winner of the ‘Mr. SUNYA” title was William
Gibbs, a sophomore. It was his second year com-
peting in the event. The ‘Ms. SUNYA” title went
to Alisa Parrish, a senior who was competing for
the first time in a body building event. She started
weightlifting after joining the SUNYA women’s
basketball team, which she’s been on for four years
now.

Parrish said she had hoped there would be more
female competitors in the event. She described her
preparation for the event as nearly an everyday
workout after the basketball season was over. She

(stated she “‘felt good up there’’ and that she knew
jshe “had caught some of the judge’s attention”
because she got the audience excited with her ‘fun,
‘upbeat routine.”’

The winners in each of the individual divisions
were; in the men’s lightweight division, senior Rich
Rose placed first; in the middleweight division,
sophomore William Gibbs placed first and in the
light heavyweight division, freshman Tom Troy
placed first.

In the female lightweight division, junior Annie
K. Nelson placed first and Parrish, the female
heavyweight, placed first in that division.

Each of the competitors worked hard and
sacrificed their normal style of daily living for a
“whole different way of life,” as one of the
lightweight competitors, Jon Friedman, put it.
Friedman and Bob Schwartz (who placed second in
the middleweight division) trained together and ex-
plained what preparing for the competiton was like.

Each had to be dedicated to a special diet and
strenuous, steady workout program. Schwartz said
that “‘everyone around you is eating pizza and
chicken wings while you’re eating egg whites and
plain rice. You also forget what beer tastes like for a
while since you have to watch your calories and
body fat.”’ Friedman said that training for the com-
petition is an “‘all or nothing” deal. Competitors
push themselves until their “‘muscles are defined to
the extreme,”’ or in bodybuilder’s terminology, un-
til they are “ripped”? or ‘‘cut.’’

Friedman said the preparation is also
psychological. “It’s not just taking your body to
the extreme, but also your mind,” he said.
Schwartz said that before the competition, he “ate,
slept and dreamt the competition all the time.””

In preparing for the competition, much research
was also necessary. Friedman said that he learned to
“train smarter, not harder,’’ through reading
fitness magazines and talking to other
bodybuilders. Friedman said he watched many
competitions on television in order to know what to
expect.

Support is necessary to keep up morale for the
bodybuilders. Friedman said at times he ‘‘really
wanted to give up or maybe have a beer “‘but his
friends, family and brothers at Phi Kappa Sigma
fraternity all contributed to the continued dedica-
tion it took. The NPC also gave guidance and help
to the competitors backstage the.night of the event.

A student is attacked by

masked assailant as she
walks to State Quad

By Greg Shaub
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Friday morning at 2:40 a.m. a
woman resident of state quad was
physically attacked while walking
from her car in the State Quad
parking lot to her residence hall,
according to a memo released by
John A. Martone, assisatant vice
president for Residential Life and
Housing.

The student was not identified
but the memo described her at-
tacker, who hid waitng in the
trees, as a ‘“‘white male, 5’9’’ or
taller, dark hair, 19 years of age
or older...(wearing) a stocking on
his face.” The woman escaped
the attacker and ran to the safety
of her hall.

The memo was displayed in
residence halls and asked students
to take extra precautions by keep-
ing all doors locked, by not walk-
ing alone and by knowing where

the Emergency Blue Phones are
located.

The incident sparked concern
among students. Jennifer Cowin,
a freshman resident of State
Quad, said she had heard about
such incidents but ‘did not expect
something of this nature to hap-
pen. Cowin, who walked alone
from the academic podium to her
quad one late night before the in-
cident and ’’didn’t think twice
about it,”” has become more cons-
cientious of safety. ‘‘My friends
and I have decided that we would
call each other and walk
together.”

Cowin feels the need for more

cedure. After a committee leaders meeting
during the Council meeting, Mason emerg-
ed in tears and motioned for the revote.
The other two Council members who
voted against the referendum had left after
the first emergency session.

The vote passed 21 in favor with one
‘against. As scheduled, the referendum will
appear on Wednesday and Thursday’s
ballot.

But the saga of the $7 referendum has
yet to be closed as Laurie-Beth Cohen
from Dutch Quad has petitioned the SA

Supreme Court to declare the meeting null
and void due to the fact that it was held on
a Saturday.

Cohen is a ‘‘practicing American Jew,’’
and she was observing Rosh Chodash, or
the first Saturday of the month. Saturdays
are considered the Sabbath by Jews and
observing the Sabbath forbids work.

Cohen has also asked the Supreme
Court to declare as SA policy, any further
Saturday meetings illegal.

Candidates for SA offices address issues at forum

By John Chartier
‘STAFF WRITER

In the wake of the upcoming Student
Association elections this week, students
were given an opportunity to question can-
didates for SA president and vice-president
Monday night in a forum designed to
allow the candidates to verbally express
their ideas and positions on issues ranging
from racism on campus to SA budget
policy.

Presidential candidates Shawn Thomp-
son and Andy DiPalma, and vice presiden-
tial candidates Fermin Espinosa and Jef-
frey Luks, addressing a scant crowd com-
prised mostly of Central Council
members, began by answering a question
on their “‘specific plan of action to re-
establish harmony”’ on such a diverse
campus.

DiPalma began by saying one of the ma-
jor causes of racial tensions on campus this
past year is a ‘‘lack of communication bet-
ween executive branch itself and the
Minority Affairs Office.’’ DiPalma stress-
ed that there must be an understanding of
the concerns of the minority groups on
campus and, if elected, he would try to
have someone from SA at every meeting in
an attempt to get a feeling of the issues
that concern them.

Thompson agreed that a lack of com-
munication was a lending cause in enhanc-
ing racial tensions but feels that there is
more to it. “‘The bottom line is that the
Student Association has not had a coor-
dinated effort, a mission, or a goal or what
it is and exactly what it means to the
groups on campus,’”’ Thompson said. ‘In
order for Student Officials to have any im-
pact on the racial tensions on campus, they
must be aware of the issues. They must
understand and they must be sensitive to
the issues. That’s very crucial,’ he
continued.

Thompson suggested that there should
be an intense summer workshop for SA of-
ficials and that they ‘‘make a commitment
to affirmative action.”*

Espinosa took a different stance and
stated that the reasons for racial tensions
may be found by “looking around the
toom.”’ ‘That is the biggest reason why
SA doesn’t know what racial minorities
want, what other minorities included in
the affirmative action policy want, because
when we have something, they don’t know
about it,’? Espinosa explained. He feels
that controversial speakers that appear on
campus have increased racial tensions in
that other groups become offended when
these people are allowed to speak.

Luks finished up by stating that a
general lack of communication was the
cause of racial tension and that as vice
President, ‘‘I’d make sure the advertising
gets out. I would have the groups work
together.”’ As an example, Luks said that
he might schedule a joint program with the
Revisionist Zionist Alternative and Albany
State University Black Alliance groups on
the Holocaust.

Many of the questions were focused on
how the candidates would deal with racial
tension on campus.

On the whole, the candidates felt that
there was a great lack of communication
within and between the various branches
of SA which caused many of the problems
encountered this year.

Another issue that was of interest to
those who attended was determining the
criteria for budgets of SA funded groups.

All of the candidates agreed that the size
of the groups, the amount of programm-
ing, and the number of people represented
by the group should be taken into account
when deciding group budgets.

DiPalma added that in addition to these
factors, what the groups have done in the

past should be considered.

Thompson stated that SA didn’t
prioritize the groups and that it listens to
everyone.

Toward the end of the forum more and
more people drifted out of the lecture
center, prompting Espinosa to stand up

and shout, ‘‘This is a total lack of respect
for the four of us.””

The candidates briefly took questions
from the audience and ended the forum
when some of the candidates had to leave

to attend other appointments. oO

Graham opts to stay off ballot; SA
SupremeCourtaccusedat hearing

By Morgan Lyle
‘NEWS EDITOR

Last night’s Student Association Supreme Court hearing, at which SA presidential
candidate Glenn Graham was scheduled to ask the Court to put him back on this
week’s ballot, was cut short when he unexpectedly withdrew his petition.

But the Court’s business was not finished with Graham’s withdrawal. Fuerza
Latina President George Serrano angrily accused the Court of ignoring a petition he
filed on March 5, which claimed that SA Transportation Director Socrates Fronhofer
illegally gave the use of the SA van to another group.

Serrano and the Court met privately afterward to discuss the matter. He said he
could accept the Court’s contention that the petition was incorrectly worded, but was
angry that he was never notified of the problem.

“T really believe that if I didn’t come here today, (the petition) would have gone
with the wind,” Serrano said. He said he would file a new petition with the Court.

Serrano also said that SA President James Lamb had spoken threateningly to him
about the petition and said he wanted it to “disappear’’.

“He can tell me that he wants a Supreme Court petition to disappear? That’s not
right,”’ Serrano said.

Lamb reacted angrily to Serrano’s accusation.

“T have no idea what he’s talking about,’ Lamb said. ‘You look at what’s happen-
ed over the course of this year between Mr. Serrano and myself. It’s been unfortunate-
ly very adversarial. It’s not been on my part.

“As far as I’m concerned, that’s slander. At this point, I would have to decide
whether to take legal action. I’m tired of Mr. Serrano’s allegations and accusations.
By now, I’ve learned to take them with a grain of salt,”” Lamb said,

Supreme Court Chief Justice Al Malena said thgat Serrano’s petition could not be
acted upon until a Chief Justice had been nominated. That position was vacant until
SA’s Central Council approved Malena for the job on March 29.

When asked why, after assuming the Chief Justice position, Malena failed to notify
Serrano that his petition was invalid, Malena said, ‘Because the time had become so
long, it had become moot.’’ He added that ‘I had heard, and I was told, that he did

Spirited greeks flood campus with onset of Greek Week

By Gil Kaminer
‘STAFF WRITER

Greek Week kicked off Saturday with the open-
ing ceremonies behind Campus Center and two live
bands playing to all the Greek participants.

The two bands, Device and Joint Distribution,
had the entire crowd dancing around and enjoying
themselves. “‘If people think Albany is apathetic,
they should come to Greek Week and see some very
happy apathetic people,’ said a member of the
Green team.

The opening ceremonies also featured a banner
contest. The defending champion Black team,
which consists of fraternity’; Tau Kappa Epsilon
and Sigma Chi, and sororities Pi Sigma Chi and
Alpha Kappa Alpha, captured the victory with the
Green team; sorority Sigma Delta Tau and frater-
nities Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Phi Alpha and Pi
Alpha Nu taking second and Purple, sororities
Alpha Epsilon Phi and Phi Beta Sigma and frater-
nities Kappa Sigma Alpha and Sigma Alpha Ep-
silon taking third.

On Sunday the sports events took center’ stage.
The football, softball, and Tug-of-war champion-
ships were decided. The Black Team won another
title winning the zoel competition.

The Red team, sorority Alpha Omicron Pi,
fraternities Sigma Nu, Delta Omicron Tau and
Kappa Alpha Psi won two events, the Tug-of-war
and the Softball competition.

Monday brought the Carnival. There were eight
booths on the Podium. The Orange team, sorority
Delta Phi Epsilon, fraternities Pi Lambda Phi,
Sigma Phi Rho and Tau Epsilon Phi made the big-
gest squeal with their mice races. The booth that
earns the most money wins the event. Half of the
money earned by all the booths goes to the Bryan
Higgins Scholarship Fund. Higgins died last year in
an accident at Indian Lake, he was a Tau Kappa
Epsilon fraternity brother.

“We had a really good crowd considering the
weather,” said Greek Week Co-chair Bobby Sahni
of Sigma Chi fraternity. ‘‘A lot of the booths made
money.’’

“Tt was a majority Greek Crowd, but when
students were coming out of their classes they were
stopping by,” Sahni added.

Today is Community Service Day. There will be a
wheelchair basketball game in the gym at 7:30, with
proceeds going to disabled students.

In the coming days, the Apache Relay, Party
Night, and Bar Golf, will decide the winning team.

Marchers demand that right to abortion be upheld

By Kerri Lewis

and Raffi Varoujian
Washington D.C.
“Not the Church, not the State, women must decide our
fate.”
—Holly Near, Entertainer

In the largest rally since the organization of the
women’s movement, hundreds of thousands of pro-
choice advocates marched on the Capitol Sunday
afternoon.

The march, officially called the March for Women’s
Equality, Women’s Lives, was organized by the National
Organization for Women (NOW).

Emphasis was placed on the right of women to have
safe and legal abortions, as well as support for the
passage of an Equal Rights Amendment.

Prior to the march on the Capitol, a rally was held at
the assembly site under the Washington ‘Monument.
More than 1,200 official delegations attended the event,
tanging in size from 20 to 20,000, including celebrities
such as Whoopi Goldberg, Cybil Shephard, Morgan Fair-
child, Judy Collins and Gloria Steinem.

Among the many political and congressional leaders
who addressed the ralliers was New York State
Assemblywoman Louise M. Slaughter (D - Rochester).
She expressed her concern at the possibility of the
historical Roe vs. Wade decision being overturned.

“‘Remember what it used to be, when women who were
alone and afraid, turned themselves over to strangers with
dirty hands in unspeakable conditions. We will not allow
that degredation of humanity of women to happen to us
again in this age of enlightenment,’’ Slaughter said.

The Supreme Court will hear opening arguments April
26 on a Missouri case that could significantly alter the
1973 ruling that gives women the right to an abortion.

Lenore Feldman, President of the National Council of
Jewish Women, stated, “If Roe vs. Wade is overturned it
will create a crack in the constitution through which
millions of underprivileged women will fall. We believe
that no government has the right to dictate women’s
choice,’’ Feldman said.

Senator Howard Metzenbaum (D - Ohio), and Senator
Alan Cranston (D - California), along with many other
congresspersons, combined under the banner of
“Members of Congress for Choice” to reassure the
ralliers that they would continue to advocate pro-choice,

»

“Never in the history of our country has the Supreme
Court revoked an American’s constitutional right. They
should not do so now,’’ Metzenbaum said.

At approximately 12:30 pm the marchers “stepped
off’’ the assembly site at the Washington Monument and
started the mile-long walk up Constitution Avenue to the
Capitol building, chanting slogans such as ‘‘Pro-choice is
Pro-life”’ and ‘‘Bush stay out of my bedroom,”

The marchers, representing people from all walks of
life, and all 50 states, traded taunts with the approximate-
ly 200-300 counterprotesters who lined the march route.
However, the police kept the opposing forces apart and
no violent incidents occured.

At the Capitol steps, according to Washington Park
Police, over 300,000 people assembled to hear such key
speakers as Molly Yard (President of NOW), Reverend
Jesse Jackson and Gloria Steinem. However, Yard placed
the estimate at over 600,000.

Jackson, a staunch supporter of pro-choice and the
Equal Rights Amendment, said, ‘‘Women are whole
human beings, and must have whole freedom and self-
determination.”’

He stated that in 1989, women are paid 60 cents to the
dollar to what men are paid, “‘that’s three-fifths...three-
fifths was not right in slavery and it is not right today. We
must demand five-fifths for all beings.””

In regard to the issue of whether the rally would have
an impact on the decision of the Supreme Court, Ira
Glasser, executive director of the American Civil Liber-
ties Union, stated ‘“‘constitutional rights are not decided
on the basis of popularity. But courts cannot give us our
rights, we must take them.’’

In an interview, Jesse Jackson Jr., who was present
along with the rest of the Jackson family, said ‘‘We live
under a constitution, not a bible. We must affirm our
choice, but once it is made, we must learn to live with it.
It is not entirely pro-choice and not entirely pro-life, it’s a
person’s right to choice.’’

Students For Choice, a campus based group, sent a
contingent of approximately 250 SUNYA students to
Washington D.C., as one of the 1,200 official delegations
that attended the march.

Months prior to the actual march, such SUNYA groups
as the Student Coalition Against Apartheid and Racism,
Peace Project, Young Democrats, Feminist Alliance, and
Students For Choice organized in order to provide affor-
dable busing for students to travel to Washington D.C.

These groups got SUNYA students involved by in-class
Presentations, tabling in the Campus Center and en-
couraging professors to sponsor students who otherwise
would not be able to afford the trip.

Daniella Korotzer, co-chair of Peace Project and chair
of the Young Communist League, emphasized the
volume of SUNYA involvement in the project.

“Albany students are not apathetic. They just need to
know what’s going on and be contacted.” She then add-
ed, “Our original goal was to fill two buses, but we
wound up filling five.”’

Approximately fifty percent of the students were male.
Jeremy Kropp, a freshman, said “‘I feel it’s wrong for
men to judge for women on this issue. With something as
personal as this is to a woman, I, as a male, couldn’t
possibly understand what they’re going through.’’

When Korotzer was asked why she got involved with
the pro-choice movement, she said, ‘What is better for a
peaceful America than women not mutilating themselves
because they have no other choice.”

Students For Choice sponsored a banner-making party
on April 8 at 2 pm in the Fireside Lounge in the Campus
Center to get the marchers acquainted with each other
and to prepare for the trip.

Derin Edip, a sophomore, said, ‘‘Abortion should be a
personal choice, the politicians don’t have a right to make
that decision for anyone.”’

Among the SUNY ralliers, SUNYA contigents were the
largest and most vocal, according to. Korotzer. “The
group, representative of all types of students, was ex-
tremely spirited, chanting such slogans as, “Albany One
Choice, Albany Pro-choice,”’ Korotzer said. “The trip
established a permanent comradery between Albany pro-
choice advocates. Students For Choice was formed to
organize this rally, but until we feel abortion rights are
here to stay, we will stay together as a group,” Korotzer
added.

But the students’ mood is best expressed by Melissa
Kostrinsky, a sophomore, “‘I decided to march so I could
do something tangible to help uphold the Roe vs. Wade
decision. By becoming active, at least I know I tried,’’ she
said.

In the words of Sarah Weddington, the attorney for
Jane Roe in the 1973 Supreme Court decision: “And so
we are here, history will not record our names, but the na-
tion will not forget our presence here today.’” Oo

His death, others’ injuries prompt lawsuits

Higgins incident in litigation

By Karl H. Reichelt
STAFF WRITER

The annual Student Association budget,
due out this week but delayed because of
controversy, is under deliberation within
the Legislative Budget Committee.

The controversy, centered around the
proposed $7 increase in the SUNYA
acitivity fee, was to have been decided by
the students on April 5 and 6 during the
SA presidential elections which have since
been postponed until this week.

The activity increase began as a proposal

and was strongly supported by the SA
Central Council but then vetoed by SA
President James Lamb. This veto was
overridden by Central Council and the
question is now in the hands of the
students.

This bureacratic process has brought
delay in the normal SA budget process.

The usual budget process begins with
groups submitting requests for allocations
to the executive branch, which then
employs the Legislative Budget Committee
to oversee and decide on the requests.

The decisions of this committee are then
turned back to the president who may
either deny the budget and warrant resub-
missions or accept the budget and forward
the measure to Central Council which
handles appeals from organizations.

The budget is usualy decided during SA
elections. This year is no different except
for the referendum controversy and elec-
tion postponment.

The acitivity fee increase has drawn a
distinct line between the Central Council
and executive branch.

According to Nadya Lawson chairper-
son of the Central Council Budget Com-
mittee, ‘‘All in Student Association say an
increase is needed, but the question is
when. The president feels that in a time

A year after the death of Bryan Hig-
gins, a SUNYA student and Tau Kappa
Epsilon fraternity brother, several law
suits are still pending as a result of the in-
cident that took Higgins life.

On Thursday April 21, 1988, Higgins,
along with four other Tau Kappa Epsilon
pledges, was electrocuted during a frater-
nity event in Indian Lake.

It was later disclosed that the incident
was not related to pledging activities.

According to Pam Williams, Assistant
Council for the State University of New
York, there are presently three suits that
have been filed. James King, who is the
head of the Tort Bureau office (the
department for personal injury) for the
New York State Attorney General said
that he was served with suit notices from
Bryan Higgins’ parents, on July 19, 1988,
Scott Payne, on September 28, 1988 and
Nicholas Sinigaglia on January 17, 1989.
King also added that there may be two
more suits filed, one of which was filed
by Vincent Mancino has not yet been

, Teceived by his office.

The Attorney General, according to
Williams, by law must represent SUNY
in all acts of litigation and once in litiga-

tion they let the suit take a natural
course.

The three suits that King has received
are ‘‘all similar in text,”’ he said. “‘They
are suing both SUNY at Albany and the
New York State for negligence in allow-
ing electricity into the pond, or in actuali-
ty a lack of due care.”” King also added
that the suits have made claims that the
University had prior notice of the elec-
tricity and that the incident could have
been avoided.

King stated that SUNYA has denied all
of these accusations in a legal pleading.

Presently the cases are in the middle of
deposition meetings, said Williams. This
is a pretrial process that must occur and
is used to retrieve as many facts as
possible.

According to Williams, the three clai-
mant lawyers are cooperating with them
to their best ability. King said that both
sides have questioned different witnesses
and officials under oath and that this is
“the most important and necessary part
to lead to trial.’”

King added that both sides have “‘until
summer time to complete this process
and that we are running on schedule.’”

Once these examinations conclude,

The Beloved Entertainer
whose aim is true

lvis Costello: the Beloved Entertainer.
E Dubbed thee, and with the promise

made to the audience by show-opener
Nick Lowe — “you're in for an evening of top
flight musical entertainment” — a lot was ex-
pected of Elvis Costello at his engagement at
the Palace Theatre April 7th.

Stef McDonald

But alas, Elvis sans his Attractions did not

disappoint. As a segue from the acoustic solo set
of Nick Lowe (a producer of several Elvis
Costello and the Attractions’ records), to the
acoustic solo performance by Costello, together
the two performed in sweet harmony “Peace,
Love and Understanding.”

And it would take quite an entertainer to top
that.

To win the audience (of fans and skeptics
alike) and maintain his stature, a beloved enter-
tainer (as in the title of his latest: Spike: the
Beloved Entertainer) must play to and with his
audience (for “Pads Paws and Claws” the au-
dience was asked to “meow” on cue). He must
improvise and exercise spontaneity (in one of
the show’s peaks, Costello sang the Beatles’
“You've Got to Hide Your Love,” and he threw
in a line from “Last Train to Clarksville” amidst
“God's Comic”). He must perform at least some
of what the audience wants and expects to hear
(some of the big hits and favorites were played:
“Accidents Will Happen” which opened the
show, “Alison,” “Everyday I Write the Book,”

and “Pump it Up” which ended the show ). He
must present new material in an appealing way
(from his latest, Spike: “Let Him Dangle,”
“God's Comic” and “Deep Dark Truthful Mir-
ror” were the best represented of the bunch).
He must reveal his personality (wit being his
strength, Costello introduced “God’s Comic” as
an interview between God and Geraldo Rivera
and then named himself as Geraldo's am-
bassador). He must move or affect the audience
(the last desperate refrains of “I Want You”
were piercing). And, of course, the beloved
entertainer must also entertain.

For the show’s encore, entertainment from
Monsignor Napoleon Dynamite came by way
of “The Broken Heart of Unknown Committed
Sins,” a satin heart-shaped stage prop from
which audience members pulled assorted “sins”
and then requested songs. The first banner
chosen revealed the deadly sin of Quayle
(“sometimes confused with the deadly sin of in-
telligence,” said Costello) and “Tonight the Bot-
tle Let Me Down” was played. Next came the
sin of Sincerity, and the song “Alison” was the
appropriate corresponding request — with the
line “my aim is true” as sugary and sincere as it’s
ever been.

It was clever, yes, and just as satirical as it was
flashy. On tour now in support of Spike,
Costello made the audience virtually forget that
he was standing on stage alone (although he sat
down for “Baby Plays Around,” a song from
Spike which was penned by his wife) before a
sold-out theatre. Better yet, Costello let the au-

dience hear that his voice, songs, and an
acoustic guitar are really all he needs.

In possession of those qualities needed to
maintain his stature, Costello commanded
enough respect from the audience so that they
sat for the performance, then rose with the ap-
plause after several of his songs. And it's certain
that no one would argue with the fact that even
though “Spike: the Beloved Entertainer” may be
along those same tongue-in-cheek lines as the
name of one of his earlier outputs, King Of
America, he really does live up to the title. O

following 20 questions of music, television and movie trivia:

Who is Bruce Springsteen's ex-wife?
In what city is Graceland located?
What kind of dog is Rin Tin Tin?
What chubby comedian hangs around with Jessica Hahn?
What jolly billionaire owns ‘Wheel of Fortune?”
Who was the Martian on “The Flintstones?”

13. What kind of musical group is Public Enemy?
14. Who was Liza Minelli’s mother?
15. Who is the host of “The New Hollywood Squares?”
16. Who was Jeannie on “I Dream of Jeannie?”
17. Who played agent 99 on “Get Smart?’
18. Who was the original drummer for the Beatles?
19. What was the name of the goofy deputy character on “The Andy
Griffith Show’?
20. Who replaced Shelly Long on “Cheers?”
(Answers below)

After over 200 contestants, four hours and three rounds (the written
test, a personality evaluation — which had students performing in front
of a packed LC 1 for 30 seconds — and mock games) nine people were
chosen to appear on MTV, compete for fabulous prizes and actually meet
host Ken Ober. The nine, who will film their programs during the sum-
mer are: Mark Allen, Adam Deutsher, Ileen Goldsmith, Barbara Grau,
Paul Faulhaber, Lori Friedman, Ilene Schreibman, plus the ASP’s very
own Peter LaMassa and Christopher Sciria.

Keren Schlomy

This refers, of course, to that musical
rock-opera Godspell, a Dutch Quad Board
production peformed last week in Lecture
Center 18. This sixties-something retelling
of the New Testament his The Man and
His disciples dressing like a cross between
hippy flower children and circus clowns.
Once you accept these facets, the rest of
the story is easy.

The disciples are mostly spoiled young
children, learning from a master who is
often befuddled and cofused himself as he
is swept away by events almost beyond his
control. This weakness however, is manag-
ed to be conveyed as a strength, thanks to
James Collier, who portrays Jesus as a sym-
pathetic figure.

Christopher Figaro goes over well as two
characters, John the Baptist and Judas
Iscariot, the only two other specifically
named characters in the show (the rest of
the company refers to each other by their
real names). Figaro, wearing a white shirt
plays the two characters as the “Fonz,”
(from the ABC 70’s standard Happy Days)
which should give an idea of the irreverent
tone of the show. In an early scene, the au-
dience and cast alike are baptized with a
wet sponge (these reviewer's notes did not
go unscathed).

The greatest strength in the play is the
cast’s handling of the musical numbers,
with each member featured in a number.
Chorus selections seemed “divinely
inspired.”
~ Godspell is a very popular production
and other performances of the play have
been perhaps more intimate and moving. It
is, however, admittedly hard to be intimate
in a lecture center designed to hold 500
students captive, yet most attending seem-
ed affected. oO

Field Trip

Beautiful

quick glance at the goofy grins and

poses on the front and back covers

of Field Trip’s debut album
Beautiful, and you might suss out that this
California quartet is of the laid back
species.

Not so. After one rip through “Tunnell-
ing,” you can hear that the group bristles
with youthful enetgy and abandon. And
while there’s numerous rough spots, that
energy and willingness to mix-up styles
and tempos, split the difference in their
favor.

If you have to vse one word to describe
the band, or reco. d, use “promising.” Not
yet champion songwriters, although “Cool
Buzz,” and “Run,” are excellent offerings,
Field Trip still have the raw talent to carve
out bigger and better things in the future.

Tim Finn

titled third solo record, Tim Finn, it
sounds a lot like something Crowd-
ed House might record. Tim’s younger
brother Neil is the frontman for Crowded
House, and the producer of both of their
records, Mitchell Froom, handled the pro-

| t's really no wonder that on his self-

duction here as well (both acts are also on
the same record label). And while it’s un-
fair to pass judgement by way of com-
parison, it has to be done.

Finn also might be identified as the

> founder of New Zealand’s Split Enz, but if

the influence can be heard at all, it’s on the
jubilant “Birds Swim Fish Fly. ;

The remainder of Tim Finn is more like
the moody Crowded House material that is
touched by Froom’s keyboards and pro-
duction ingenuity. Guided by a very in-
trospective mood, the songs here have a
spiritual/inspirational flavor, directed by
Finn's image-packed lyrics. In an effort to
create depth, however, Finn falls to using
cliches; offering insight into his “deepness”
with phrases like “desperation is a warning
flame.” In a similar vein, the ocean is a fre-
quent if not over-used staple, appearing in
nearly all of the cuts.

That the songs are set in lavish rhythmic
textures (thanks here go\to Froom) saves
them from drowning in Finn's utter
seriousness (“Show a Little Mercy,”
“Suicide on Downing St.”). “How’m I Gon-
na Sleep,” while still not shallow, and the
lusting “Crescendo” are easier to take. The
songs find base with Finn’s introspection,
just as Finn finds base with images of his
homeland of New Zealand. The line “One
day you'll know the truth/ They pull
out the roots” from “Parihaka” relates well

to the feel of the record.

EDITORIAL,

It’s Academic

100.5 All students seeking office for an
elected or appointed representative
Position in the legislative, executive, and
judicial branches of the Student
Association shall not be on academic
probation at the State University of New
York at Albany.

This proposal will appear on this week’s
Student Association election ballot, in the
form of a referendum vote asking students
whether they agree or disagree. With a
two-thirds affirmative vote, this
constitutional change would take effect
for the Spring 1990 election.

There are many reasons to support such
a proposal. The primary reason is
insurance—with such a policy, an SA
official could not be academically
dismissed in the midst of his or her term.
Someone who is not on academic
probation is safeguarded for the year they
hold office, and SA would not have to
worry about a lack of continuity, or
constantly replacing those who fail out of
school.

Also, the plan would revolve around a
rstudent’s overall cumulative grade point
average, and not just the most recent
performance. One lousy semester,
gags will not keep a person out of
S.

Several other campus organizations
have a similar policy regarding academic
probation. Campus Life requires Greek
members to retain a certain grade point
average, as does University Affairs with
athletes. The Center for Undergraduate
Education uses cumulative grade point
averages for internship criteria, and
Residential Life also uses it when choosing |
Resident Assistants and Student
Assistants. Obviously, if the University|
uses academics as a criteria, there is some!
justification for implementing such a plan.
in SA. :

Overall, the grade point average |
requirement adds a level of credibility to}
the Student Association. SA is an
organization which offers leadership for
the student body, and the image of sound
academic standing can only help. Also,
SA offers academic help and services
through the Educational Affairs office,
the Academic Affairs Committee, Test |
Bank, and other areas. With these services
offered to the student body, it follows that |
SA itself should be in good academic!
standing. If the officials of SA cannes
honestly offer the academic aid they |
promise, how can. they benefit the!
students at large with their services? \

The only drawback of this proposal is!
the releasing of information. Although the |
academic status will only be seen by a few
people who would only work with
identification numbers, every effort must
be made by SA to ensure privacy. Any
plan dealing with confidentiality of
information must be carefully scrutinized
and well-planned, so as to avoid
unnecessary embarrassment or
harassment of any one candidate.

The plan sounds like an excellent way to
increase the legitemacy of SA. If passed,
SA should spend much time examining the
intricacies of this operation. But as a
whole,it is an idea that can only benefit
the Student Association.

What Happens
When We Assume...

Tam writing this article to clarify a few misconceptions
about the activities that have happened on Alumni Quad.
There have been many negative rumors and fallacies
about why the students on Alumni Quad wanted to im-
peach the Alumni Quad Board President Lisa Meyerson,

Jacqueline Bell

A few persons have taken it upon themselves to have
misleading and blatantly false information published in
our student newspaper. These persons have accused the
Alumni Quad Chapter of MAP of instigating a problem
where there was none; they also said some potentially
detrimental things about the organization. They blatantly
disrespected our integrity and implied that we are not ra-
tional beings, that we are ruled by emotion and not facts.
Let me defend myself and my colleagues.

All that happened in the past months has been
justified. We have not acted irresponsibly or emotionally.
We did what we and many other responsible residents on
Alumni Quad felt was the right thing to do. We used only
facts and figures to come to the realization that Lisa
Meyerson was incompetent as a president of a student
organization. Let me say that these individuals did not
know all the facts and therefore should not have written
such opinionated letters.

Before I go any further, let me ask this rhetorical ques-
tion: Why is it that when minority students band together
for a cause, the situation becomes racial? My colleagues
and I are sick and tired of being labeled just because we
showed unity and support for one another; but, I won’t
dwell on this because it is not my focus for this column.
The following, however, is.

In their effort to make a stand, these people failed to
realize that just because Quad Board gave up a few
dollars does not mean that they are dedicated or that they
truly supported the issues concerning minority students.
As proof of this statement, Quad Board has not initiated
one program that would benefit all the students on the
quad -- all of their “minority”? programs have been in-
itiated and carried out by the Alumni Quad Chapter of
MAP. This should not have been the case; as I unders-
tand it, Quad Board is supposed to program for everyone
on its particular quadrangle (this was not the case). Also,
if someone professes to be a student leader, this person

should be able to program for everyone whom he or she
represents (this, also, was not the case). These and many
other reasons was our justification in asking for an
impeachment.

Since the beginning of this academic year, I have been
to most Quad Board meetings, I’ve supported most of its
programs and I have been an adamant supporter of the
organization. During my involvement with the program,
T’ve noticed that the ex-president of Quad Board, Lisa
Meyerson, seemed to have started off positively in
Tegards to the MAP-Quad Board relationship. She was
“supposedly” in support of a MAP facilitator, she was
“supposedly” in support of our programs.

As time went by and pressure (by the minority students)
started coming down, Lisa Meyerson vividly showed a
discomfort and even contempt for the amount of minori-
ty students participating at the meetings. What little
leadership skills she did have were totally depleted.

Let me stress that the impeachment process was not on-
ly because of her lack of monetary support, but also for
her lack of leadership qualities and her lack of sincerity
towards minority issues. Also, in response to a particular
quote in the ASP, “The MAP group is persecuting one of
their stronger supporters’’ is an untruth, to say the least.
First of all, it is not only the “MAP group” that sup-
Ported the impeachment, it was all concerned students
(Blacks, Hispanics and Whites) who saw that things were
not being handled in the right way. Second, it has been
proven that Lisa Meyerson, in fact, was not a strong sup-
Porter of MAP. She proved this by stating in her resigna-
tion speech that “the MAP facilitator has been nothing
but trouble.” Also, inside sources say that she did not
want to even initiate the position but felt that she had to
in order to pacify the minorities.

Besides allowing her personal Prejudices to enter the
arena, she allowed a personal conflict with an MSA to be
involved. All of these things are definitely
unprofessional.

I feel that these people should have gotten all of the
facts or at least both sides of the story before presenting
accusations. By not doing so, they showed ignorance and
unprofessionalism as student “leaders’”’. So in the future,
before accusing people in that way -- “get the facts and

don’t assume, because we all know what happens when
we ASSume!’?

| LETTERS, representation in SA, as I am hardly ever there. The result of my letter that MAP has been hurt,

Endorsement Biased

To the Editor:

I would like to correct a few things that the ASP En-
dorsement Board said about me. First, the Board said
that I have only some experience in leadership on the
SUNYA campus. I am currently on University Senate and
Class Council of 1991, both elected positions. I am also a
Manager and Treasurer at SUNYTUNES, a position ap-
pointed by the SA president, vice-president, and the Af-
firmative Action officer. I was also appointed by Presi-
dent O’Leary to be the only student on the Middle States
Reaccreditation Steering Committee.

Next is what the ASP Endorsement Board said about
my drive to make things happen. I have to contradict that
with what I told the Board. As President of the Federa-
tion of Jewish Youth in Broome County, the Binghamton
area, we sponsored a very successful Soviet Jewery Rally.
I organized and got many of the speakers for the event.
This is just one of the examples that I told the Endorse-
ment Board of my drive to make things happen.

Again, contrary to what the Endorsement Board said, I
did tell them many ‘‘fresh, rock-solid ideas.”” Some of
them were just like what the other candidates said and the
Endorsement Board commended. One of my ideas was to
go through Residential Life to help in programming and
communication to the students through the RA’s and the
Minority Student Assistants. A presidential candidate,
Andy DiPalma, had almost the same ideas as me, but his
ideas were ‘worthy of attention” and used as examples
for alleviating racial tension; mine are not included at all,
as my ideas lacked vision and I ‘‘failed to identify any
clear cut plan of action.”’ These were just one of the many
ideas that I presented to the Endorsement Board.

As for haying a ‘‘dim view of SA life,’’ this is because,
as many of the students feel, I did not feel comfortable in
SA and no one seemed to welcome me there. This is the
reason that I was ‘‘stumped”’ on the question of minority

Housing Fiasco

To The Editor:

I am currently a second-semester freshman
recently had a disastrous first experience with housing, I
am “‘a little disillusioned” with the housing process and
the Department of Residential Life and Housing.

My roommate and I were prepared to live in the same
room we currently reside in. We picked our numbers,
signed the forms, waited on all the lines, and paid our
deposits--basically, we jumped through all of Res-life’s
hoops and we were told that the room had been “‘locked-
out.” Assuming someone had selected the room before
us, we returned to our room, dejected. It was then we
realized that it was possible that the room had been
reserved for freshmen. Please note, we realized this after
trying to sign up and noticing that only five suites were
left in the hall we wanted, after only the first day of selec-
tion. Our suspicions were then confirmed by the head of
the housing process, Mr. Woodruff, who then said he
couldn’t do anything. The idea that certain rooms were
reserved for incoming students never even entered our
minds and, of course, no one told us.

When was DRLH planning on telling us this important
piece of information? The answer is never! They
wouldn’t have told us at all if we hadn’t asked. Why
didn’t they publish a list of the reserved rooms? They
knew which rooms were reserved before housing selection
even started. They had a list. Why couldn’t they have
distributed copies of it, or at least posted it? All it would
have taken was a Xerox machine and a couple of sheets of
paper. We even allowed an offer to join a suite pass us by
because we thought that we had an equal chance at the
room. Had DRLH informed us we would have acted
totally different in our making our decision.

Now, we realize that it’s our choice to live on campus
and that no one is forcing us to live here, but with the
(nearly) $2000 a piece being shelled out by our parents as
a.result of our choice to live on campus, we feel we should
be entitled to certain common courtesies--including get-
ting all necessary information. As customers we should be
informed that our choice of rooms is limited from the
start. Even if we had lottery number 1, we still wouldn’t
have been able to live in our first choice.

In conclusion, I must add, in fairness, that DRHL is
very good at dispensing one piece of information regar-
ding housing: where to send the check. Yes, they’re very
helpful that way.

The Whole Story

To the Editor:

About a month ago, I wrote a letter concerning the im-
peachment process of Lisa Meyerson. In retrospect, there
are some false assumptions and justified ones that I
would like to make clear. The letter was written pro-
ceeding the meeting which announced the motion to im-
peach the President. I wanted to write a letter as an out-
side observer; someone who was incited to write in reac-
tion to an apparent situation. Looking back, I am aware
of the downfalls of this approach. As in every story, there
are two or more sides, and sometimes one side may be less
conspicuous for legitimate reasons, as was true in this
case. I, therefore, find my past letter accurate in its facts,
minus ‘‘the whole story.’’

The argument concerning the allocation of Quad Board
funds for furniture for the MAP group, because of
policy, remains in disagreement. The argument concern-
ing the need for more Residential Life and Administra-
tion help in a heated situation such as this remains intact.
The argument of a potentially hasty motion for impeach-
ment, is still being held.

What is now realized is that the furniture was not an ex-
tremely relevant issue. It was, metaphorically, ‘‘the straw
that broke the camel’s back.’’ According to MAP ex-
ecutive members and directors, there was constant indif-
ference and/or out-and-out resistance to MAP needs,
Most importantly, financial backing was used as a mask,
hiding undevoted and unconcerned officers. The lack of
creative participation in cooperative programming ideas
was flagrant.

What I reacted to was fear. I was, and remain, in sup-
port of peaceful and cooperative efforts towards unity. I
am not a supporter of revolution and dividing upheaval.
Seeing the decisive sweep of anger against a member of
my “‘racial group” frightened me, and that’s the bottom
line.

pushed back in the public eye. As a strong supporter of
Peace, unity and equality among all people, I strongly
support the vocation of MAP. I support MAP’s members

and their goals of equality, unity and peace. The last

thing I wanted to do was to push MAP back.

Whether I support the impeachment is no longer im-
portant. But, with this, I do support my right to voice my
opinion, and to make mistakes -- or accidentally mistake
accuracy for “the whole story.” If I see this organization
(one I support strongly), my school, my country, or my
friends acting in ways that disagree with my sense of
justice, I reserve my right to speak out. I also defend my
tight to my humanness and inherent imperfection.

To those offended, I apologize.

Spring Cleaning?

To The Editor:

I found the recent column by a member of the Shield of
David to be rather bold, considering the Shield of David’s
deserved reputation for its terrorist acts against Arabs
and anti-Zionists. The Shield of David's ‘“‘trademark’’,
the vandalization of their opponents’ cars, is truly heroic
and a great illustration of Chaim Feinberg’s idea of
“freedom of speech’’.

Kwame Ture is a supporter and an active Participant in
struggles for the oppressed around the world, from
southern Africa to Nicaragua. To call him a ‘‘Jew-hater’’
because of his support for the Palestinians and for his at-
tacks on Zionism is absurd. Zionism is a political
ideology and Judaism is a religion, not a race. Isreal is a
Political state, and a Jew is not necessarily a Zionist. Call-
ing someone “‘anti-Semitic’” (the Palestinians are
Semites, also) because they attack Zionism is similar to
calling someone who speaks out against Nazism a
“‘German-hater’’. Those words should not be confused,
and I ask Chaim to try not to do so in the future.

Meir Kahane is probably a better target for your antics.
Kahane calls for the expulsion of the Palestinians from
their own land and for the jailing of Jewish women in
Israel who have had sex with Arab men. Of course, to
maintain consistency, this proposition does not include
Jewish men.

Well, Chaim, I hope to see you at the next Kahane
demonstration. Hopefully, you will know which side to
be on.

Additionally, I would greatly appreciate an elaboration
on your closing paragraph. What exactly do you mean by
“a thorough spring-cleaning at SUNYA. Certain at-
titudes must go’”’?

AIDS Education

To the Editor:

Iam a person who hates prejudice, oppression and ill-
will towards mankind. I recently saw a television program
concerning AIDS and, even though it was a movie, I
know that the prejudices that some of the people had
towards the boy who had AIDS are real.

Almost every day there is an article about the Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome. They tell us that a cure
does not exist, but there is hope. They tell us that the
disease cannot be caught by casual contact, but there is
fear. I do not know anyone who has AIDS, but I ama
human being and I care for humankind. It is up to us, as
students, and even as the teachers of the future, to
enlighten and teach those around us who are afraid or
that do not know about AIDS what it really is. I hope that
there are others in this University that feel the same way.
It really frightens me to think that there are people so
afraid of AIDS that they are too stubborn to learn what it
is. Some people with AIDS can lead relatively normal
lives, so why are they so feared? Why do we, as fellow
human beings, have to fear our brothers and sisters?

Thope to be teaching someday, and I want to say that I
will never prejudge someone and prohibit him or her
from attending school, or going to a job, or living a life if
they have AIDS. We have to educate people! We have to
have so many seminars and discussions about this that
people will recite it backwards and forwards. As students,
and as people, we have to stand together and fight against
the prejudice and the hatred, and, in that place, put
understanding, kindness and love.

AIDS victims are people who deserve our love, com-
passion, and especially understanding. How would you
feel if you had one flaw, but it made you stick out like a
sore thumb? How would you feel if you were prevented
from going to classes, or your job, or walking into a
shopping center all because you have a disease that YOU

_ Understand is not caught by casual contact, yet others

think it is. There are more ignorant people than there are
educated when it comes to AIDS. Let’s help teach the
world, and show that we care.

Ma yfest
<Front Page

For those students who have
never had the pleasure of ex-
periencing Mayfest, Stevens
describes it as a time to ‘“‘come
and hang out with your friends
before the summer and before
you have to probably work forty
hours a week or whatever. It’s
basically an end of the year wrap-
up with a lot of food and soda,
which is very laid back and

mellow and where people can just
have a good time.’’ Perhaps, as
Graham states, people can even
“foster or develop some new rela-
tionships and come back to them
in September.”’ Stevens believes it
will be a ‘‘guaranteed success.”?

not want to pursue the matter,”
and that SA policy does not re-
quire the Chief Justice to notify
plaintiffs of flawed petitions.

Graham, in withdrawing his re-
quest that the Court overturn SA
Election Commissioner Melissa
Bower’s ruling that Graham had
violated policy regarding cam-
paign posters, said the problem
was a matter of interpretation of
rules.

Graham maintained that he
had two posters on some podium
posting boards because they were
from different master copies, and
that when Bower told him to take
one of them down, he did
“everything humanly possible’’
to comply, but acknowledged
that five or six remained. He said
he sought no advantage over
other candidates.

Graham said that some people,
presumably implying Bower and
SA Vice-President Fern Cohen,
were ‘‘vehemently opposed to my
getting a fair shake in this
election.”

After the aborted hearing,
Graham said, ‘‘At no point did I
ever say to myself, Oh, it’s not
worth it, I don’t want to be a part
of it. (But) when it got to the
point where I had to compromise
my integrity to get into office,
that was the point I decided not to
Tun,

“Tf I can’t win on my own
merit, if I have to win on
backstabbing and ludicrous
games, then I can’t be part of it,”
Graham said,

“I'd just like to thank everyone
who stood by me and supported
me during the campaign, and they
can still come out and vote for me
for University Council,” Graham
added.

After the hearing, Bower said,
“Tm happy that I didn’t have to
go through with the Supreme
Court case. I believe I did the
right thing by removing Glenn

from the ballot.”” o

damaging the SA. It was the only

Candidate Shawn Thompson
added that ‘Bill has contributed a
lot to this University and could

As a remedy to prevent further
oversights, Livingston, along with
Bower, have called for screening
prior to candidate confirmation
to check their academic status.

“After this event, it would seem
that an amendment to the SA
constitution should be discuss-
ed,” said Bower. oO

with many other increases, now is
not the time for an additional in-
crease,’’ Lawson said.

Those against the increase also
feel that timing is the key factor.
“Students are not completely in-
formed as to all the additional in-
creases, time should be given to
work out this proposal,’’ said
Melissa Zenon, a budget commit-
tee member.

Those in favor of the increase
believe that in order to keep SA
strong and continue sponsorship
of activities, the fee must be
increased.

Lawson also stressed that
“even if you are not in a club or
organization, you’re affected if
the increase is denied through
events such as concerts or guest
speakers.’’ Now, the fate of the
increase is in the hands of the
students. “The decision is theirs,
the students will decide what the
tax will be,”’ said Lawson.

If passed by the students, the
increase will go into effect next

school year and the present
budget will be adjusted
accordingly.

“This decision by the students
will be a direct impact decision,”

Just thinking about college tuition is
enough to make most parents break into
aswe:

But can you blame them? When you
consider the cost of tuition, books,
dorms -not to mention pizza parties
you're talking big bucks.

Which is why you should do some
talking. Like telling your parents about
the Education Loan Programs at
Manufacturers Hanover Trust

At MHT, not only do we participate
in all three Federally guaranteed loan
programs, but we also work with state
and national agencies and can make
guaranteed loans in all 50 states.

In practically no time at all

In a matter of minutes, MHT Student
Loan Processors can program your
information into our computerized loan
processing system.

Within 24 hours, the Bank will get a
decision from the Guarantee Agency
It’s that simple. Better still, with MHT
your parents will get all the money they
need from one source.

Example: If your folks need more
money than government sources will
give them, we can offer them tailor-made
payment plans through The Education
Loan Program, Educational Lines of
Credit or Monthly Budget Program and
Pre-Payment Programs that make it
easy for your parents to fund themselves.
(The Education Loan Program, Monthly
Budget and Pre-Payment Programs are
offered through the Tuition Plan, a
company of Manufacturers Hanover.)

Once you get a loan from us, you can
be sure it'll stay with us. Because we've
never sold education loans to other
banks (unless the borrower asked us to).

So if you need money for school, call
1-800-MHT-GRAD and get yourself
an MHT Education Loan Application.

Then when your folks ask you about
tuition, at least you'll have an answer.

“No sweat.”

Although Radbell has not noticed
any stepped-up security following
the incident, she believes many

However, State Quad resident
Michael Couvello was unaware of
the attack but angered upon fin-

deemed successful was Student

out on the quads.

escaped injury by the assistance

yells at his girlfriend to lock her

Courello said he would like to |
“break the legs of the guy’’ who
raped a friend of his.

In light of Courello’s perceived
deficiency of safety on campus,
he would like to know why the
“$1 million in revenue from tow-

safety.”

Lawsuits

SUNYA has an option to let the
cases go to trial or to settle out of
court.

No trial date has been set as of
yet for either of the three suits,
however King assumes that they
will all go to trial.

Sinigaglia, one of the
claimants, who was hospitalized
and treated for electricution, said
that he filed the suit and is leaving
all legal matters to his lawyers to
“do what they feel must be
done.” Sinigaglia would not
disclose the amount he is asking
for nor did King nor Williams

_ Albany track teams have respectable showings
Women host Great Dane Invitational Men finish third at U of Rochester

By Denise Pisapia
‘STAFF WRITER

The Albany women’s track team kicked
off their outdoor season by hosting the
12th annual Albany Invitational.

With an impressive field of ten division
I,II and III teams, Albany held its own by
placing seventh. The invitational was won
by Ithaca college with 155% points,
followed by the University of Vermont,
Southern Connecticut University, Platt-
sburgh and (tie) Hartwick, University of
Rochester, Albany, Cortland and (tie)
Union, and NYU.

The standout athlete of the meet was
sophomore Kris Layng. Layng placed in
three individual field events, the discus

seventh at their Invitational.

mer (19.59m); fifth, fourth and sixth
respectively.

Layng’s performances in the discus and
javelin were personal bests. While her
distance in the hammer set a school record,
since Layng was the first woman from
Albany to throw the hammer.

Albany’s other thrower, freshman Ann
LavVeck, placed an impressive second place
in the discus(33.88M).

“This was Ann’s first collegiate discus
event,” said Dane head coach Ron White,
“to score second was a top notch
performance.””

The Dane runners did just as well.
Senior Barbara Ascher placed sixth in the
10,000 meter run with a time of 40:39. This
was a personal best for Ascher and also
qualified her for the NYS and ECAC
championships.

Also with a personal best (5:12.8) was
junior Denise Buneo in the 1500M run in
which she placed sixth.

The Albany hurdlers showed their
abilities as senior Kathy Bellantoni and
freshman Nicole Hargraves placed fifth
(16.5) and fourth (16.5) respectively in the
100M hurdlers. Bellantoni also tied for
fifth in the 400M hurdles (1:10.5).

Placing fifth was the 4x400M relay with
a time of 4:31.8. The relay was comprised
of Bellantoni, Buneo, Samone McDade
and Amy Biddle. The Danes 4x100M relay
placed sixth (55.1). The relay consisted of
Bellantoni, Carrie Sybil, Dawn Dansky
and Hargraves.

Katie Ferrie won the unseeded section of
the 1500M run with a time of 5:16.2.

“Kate was the athlete who impressed me
most who did not place,”’ said White, ‘“‘she
won it impressively.”’

Tricia Schultes did not place in the
3000M run, but nonetheless ran a per-
sonal best of 11:21.1.

The Danes have a busy schedule ahead
of them this week. They will be facing
Hamilton and Hartwick on Wednesday
and Ithaca, Union and Binghamton on
Saturday at 1:00p.m.. a

By Michael Director

A track team is only as good as its
athletes. The Albany men’s track team
found this out in their quadrangular meet
last weekend against Rochester, Alfred,
and Roberts Wesleyan held at Rochester.
They placed third, making their record
2-2.

The score of the meet was Rochester
105, Alfred 63, Albany 51 and Roberts
Wesleyan 1. The Danes’ performance was
hampered by injuries, horrendous weather
conditions and the absence of several key
athletes. To run in 35 degree weather is
tough, and this was compounded by a
harsh wind and snow flurries.

There also was the injury factor.
Freshman Dave Francis, a key jumper, is
out with a knee injury. In addition, four of
Albany’s best runners were running hurt.

Juan Sanchez; a sophomore state cham-
pion, was forced to pull out of his race due
to a hamstring cramp. The three other in-
juries were all less serious in nature.
Sophomore tri-captain Jose Maymi,
freshman Derek Westbrook and
sophomore Robert Demaio all had minor
injuries. A bright spot is that they all
should be healed in time for the next meet.

“The results of this meet show we need
more committment,’’ said Albany coach
Roberto Vives referring to the fact that
several of his key athletes missed the meet.

With all these factors going against them
the Danes still had several good showings.
In the 100 meters Michael Salmon, a
sophomore, won in 11.3 seconds. He also
placed second in the 200 meters with a time
of 23.10 seconds. Salmon ran two good
races and showed himself to be Albany’s
best sprinter.

In the 400 meters with DeMaio’s injury
the Danes had no competitors. In the 800,
junior Jim Clancy ran 2:00 in placing se-
cond. With a time of 4:06 freshman Joe
McCullen placed third in the 1500 meters.
In the 3000 meter steeplechase junior Chris
Kranick ran a personal record of 10:00.13

jin placing third.

The ‘conditions were not conducive for
good times, but Kranick was excellent,
taking 15 seconds off his time from last
week’s RPI meet. Facing a powerhouse
like Rochester, the long distance squad
performed well. Rochester’s cross country
was third in national Division [II competi-
tion and their distance team is a for-
midable force. This showing is a good sign
for the Danes’ long distance unit.

The hurdles proved to be a diamond in
the rough for Albany. Without Sanchez in
the hurdles, Mike Wasserman, a senior,
stepped in. He ran well and placed second
in 15.8 seconds. In the 400 meter in-
termediate hurdles, freshman Wilfredo
Rodriguez continued his dominance. He
ran a time of 56.89 seconds and beat his
nearest competitor by two seconds.
Rodriguez in undefeated outdoors and is
yet to be seriously challenged in a race.

In the field events there were two good
showings. Freshman state champion,
Tom Mead, won the pole vault as he
cleared 13°0”. In the hammer throw,
George Caporin, a junior tri-captain, won
with a toss of 129 feet.

Albany placed first in the 4x400 meter
relay and second in the 4x100 meter relay.
The 4x400 team of senior tri-captain Bruce
Gaynor, Clancy, freshman Todd Buckley,
and Rodriguez won in 3:29.0. Rodriguez-
ran a blazing 50.6 seconds and Clancy ran
an equally fast 51.0 seconds. The 4x100
meter team of . Westbrook, DeMaio,
Salmon and Maymi placed second in 43.92
seconds. It was a costly race however,
because of an errant baton pass that caus-
ed DeMaio to fall and injure himself.

The team as a whole did have some good
performances. Coach Vives said
«|. . (it’s) still early enough to put
everything together.”” With less injuries
the team should be able to do so, he added.

The Danes have their next opportunity
to do so on April 12 in a triangular meet
against, Hartwick and Hamilton at Oneon-
ta, Qo

It’s spring and if you’re like
most Albany students, you’ve
gained a few extra pounds during
your winter hibernation. But
when you’re losing weight, it’s
important ‘to keep up good
conditioning.

With that in mind, Albany
students have a rare opportunity
to hear Greg Makrides, the
strength and conditioning coach
for the NBA’s New York Knicks
| and the U.S Olympic wrestling
team.

He will be lecturing, Monday

“This is a guy with a quality |

background,” said Albany assis-
tant football coach Joe Tricario.

Because this is part of a foot-
ball coaches clinic, people would
believe that all Makrides is talking
about is football. Wrong.

Makrides will be lecturing about §

all sports.

“‘He’s a very interesting per-
son, he can speak on it (condi-
tioning), and he’s easy to listen
to,” Tricario said.

Some of matters that will be
discussed on that day will be flex-
ibility, aerobic capacity-
cardiovascular fitness, nutrition
and rest.

with Michigan. The Woverines
responded with six victories, in-
cluding an 80-79 overtime victory
over Seton Hall in the title game
at Seatlle.

“The dream lives on,”’ Fisher,
44, said at a joint news conference
with Bo Schembechler’, the foot-
ball coach who doubles as athletic
director. “I said before, “Pinch
me on Tuesday,’ but I didn’t
want to wake up. I still don’t
want to wake up.

“This defies description in
words. There’s no finer job in
America.’”

There was overwhelming sup-
port for Fisher, both locally and
by the national media, after the
polite, red-faced man’ led a

talented group of underachievers ,

through six tournament games.
But Schembechler wouldn’t be
stampeded.

“I wasn’t going to be pressed
into an emotional decision,’’
Schembechler said. ‘‘I wanted to
be cool, calculated, and study it
from every angle. It always came
up Steve Fisher.””

Schembechler, a beacon of in-
tegrity in big time college sports,
wanted most of all to be sure
rumors of improperties in
Frieder’s program either were un-
true or didn’t involve Fisher.

For example, a high school
player whom Frieder had
recruited for Michigan recently

began driving a new Mustang. |
The prospect had to convince |

Schembechler his mother bought
the car.

“The more I thought about it,
the more I was convinced we had
the right guy right here,’
Schembechler said. “He was
thrown into the breech and show-
ed a lot of moxie.”

Women’s crew sweeps at Skidmore

By T.E. Kane
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The Albany women’s crew team shifted
into high-gear when they went undefeated
in all their races Saturday at the Skidmore
Invitational Regatta.

The men on the other hand, did not
clean up as the women did, but they did
muster two victories in five attempts.

The Danes’ overall performance gave
them 70 total points which placed them se-
cond to Skidmores’ 72 in a field of nine.

Out of all the races, both the mens’ and
womens’ team brought home victories in
six out of ten total events.

The Dane women’s varsity eight shell
raced to an ever-so-narrow margin of vic-
tory over the Colgate boat posting a

8:44.0, only six tenths of one-second ahead
of the second place finisher.

The victory was especially sweet for the
women on the boat because they had never
raced together before.

About ten minutes before the regatta,
the women’s coach pulled the members of
the eight women boat from various other
quads to race against a strong Skidmore
team. me

During the race, the Albany shell slowly
came to be right behind the Skidmore
boat.

“Our coxswain began to walk us
through the Skidmore boat.”’ Beth Bogan
said.

“Walking through,’’ means that when a
boats bow is even with a stern of a com-
peting boat, the coxswain begins to call out

each of the opposing shells numbered seats
as the other boat moves up on its
competitor.

“That gave us the added boost,”’ Bogan
said, “without our coxswain we wouldn’t
have won.”

The other photo finish race was in the
mens eight man ‘‘B”’ boat when Albany

boat barely nipped the Union squad on a |

last 50 meter push across the finish line.

“At the last 20 stroke mark I could hear
the coxswain on the Union boat,’’said
Nick Hawtin, a member of the eight-man
crew, ‘then we just turn it on with a big
explosion that carried us.””

That blast gave the eight-man junior
varsity shell the four-tenths of one-second
edge the squad needed to bring home the
first place prize.

In another close race for the women
Danes, the women’s light eight edged out a
victory from Skidmore squad by gaining a
8:39.93 time while the rowers raced to
8:41.58 time.

The women rowed out their four race
sweep by the varsity women’s light weight
four out racing the Skidmore four by near-
ly 37 seconds, and the novice eight slighted
the Union eight novice by 20 seconds with
a time 8:04.66 and 8:24 respectively.

The remaining men’s squads did not fair
as well as the varsity four, except for the
novice ‘‘B’? who topped Skidmore by 10
seconds.

The varsity men’s eight came in fifth
place behind Hobart College with 7:26.18.
The winner, Skidmore, posted a 6:55.12.

The men’s four and varsity light weight
four garnered times of 8:20.45, and
Albany 7:32.54.

“I’ve seen these guys race better, I’m
not pleased, but they were competetive,”’
said Albany coach Mike Davenport.

Bogan said that the women’s squad
could be the best in the Capital District.

“‘We were in great condition for this

, race, that was the reason for our success,’’

Bogan added.
The Dane crew team will race next at the
Worcester Regatta in two weeks. o

Baseball team finally starts season
Albany splits doubleheader with Middlebury College

By Jerry Kahn
STAFF WRITER

After having their first six games rained
out, the University at Albany’s baseball
team finally managed to get to play. On
Saturday April 8, they split a doubleheader
with Middlebury College, losing the first
game 6-5 and winning the second contest
5-2.

In the opener, Middlebury jumped out
to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. They added
three more runs in the fourth inning before
Albany was able to score.

Down by five in the bottom of the fifth,
Albany finally scored. With one out,
sophomore Steve Sassano singled. Senior
Robert Pettersen flew out to left for the se-
cond out. Junior Jim Duesel followed with
a double and Sassano scored. Sophomore
William Frank singled Duesel home, which
made the score 5-2 after five.

After Middlebury added a run in the top
of the sixth, Albany retaliated with three
of their own.

Down 6-2, SUNYA’s Phillip Piranio,
who is a sophomore, popped out to the
catcher to lead off in the bottom of the
sixth.

Sophomore John Schaller singled. That
was followed by a single by Mike Tropea,
who also is a sophomore. Sassano drew a
walk to load the bases with one out. Pet-
tersen reached on an error by the shortstop
and was credited with a run batted in as
Schaller and Tropea scored. After Duesel
was retired by the second baseman, Frank
hit a two run single and made the score
6-5. That was how it ended.

The Great Danes’ hitting stars included
junior Brian Lehrer, who was two for two
and was hit by two pitches; Duesel, who
had a double and an RBI in four at bats;
Frank, who went two for four with three
runs batted in; and Sassano, who scored
twice, singled, and walked.

Thad Luke, who is a junior, pitched the
first four innings for the Danes and took
the loss. Freshman Richard Berman went
the final three innings and struck out five,
while yielding only one run on two walks
and two hits.

In the second contest, the University at
Albany scored the game’s first run in the
third inning. Geoff Singer, who is a

freshman, led off with a single. Pettersen
followed with a strikeout. Duesel ground-
ed out to the shortstop and Singer advanc-
ed to second base. Frank knocked in
Singer with a single.

After Middlebury scored on run in the
fourth to tie the score and another in the
fifth to take the lead, Albany stormed
back with four runs of its own.

Once again, Singer led off with a single.
Pettersen sacrificed and Singer went to se-
cond. Duesel drew a base on balls. With
two on and one out, Frank flew out to
rightfield. Lehrer walked, which loaded
the bases.

Senior Tom Bravata hit a three run dou-
ble, which enabled Albany to recapture the
lead. The score was 4-2. Piranio hit another
double and Bravata scored. That made the
score 5-2, which was how it ended.

Senior Victor Gordon pitched im-
pressively and won. He went the distance
and gave up two runs, only one of which
was earned, two hits, and two walks. He
struck out four.

SUNY Albany’s hitting stars were
Frank, who went two for three and had an
RBI; Bravata was two for three, with a

from an earlier 17-8 drubbing at the
hands of Williams College.

They did successfully, defeating
Westfield in a squeaker, 14-13, squaring
their record at 1-1.

Westfield was 3-0 coming into the
game, and the Danes seemed up against
it.

“Today we played with more intensity
than we did against Williams,” said Dane
co-captain Rich Spadaro, ‘‘We knew we
had to win to keep our chances alive at a
strong record, we’re playing for recogni-
tion.”

Albany led 8-7 at halftime and held off
a late Westfield charge, to preserve the
victory. Westfield received an outstan-
ding performance from Steve Kerr who
had a game high of seven goals.

“*Steve Kerr is just a great shooter,”
said Albany head coach Steve O’Shea.

Albany had some offensive stars of
their own. Freshman Cort Kim had four
goals and four assists and Senior Rich
Spadaro had five goals.

“Our offense was outstanding and our
extra man offense was 4-7, I’ll take that
kind of production anyday,” said
O’Shea. Westfield scored first but the
Danes showed their resiliency and scored
three straight goals to lead 3-1.

“Right now we need big games from
our attack because we know when our
defense settles down and plays their
game, their solid,” said Spadaro.

“Our entire attack was on their game
and Bill Piazza had an exceptional game,
he was all over the field,’ said O’Shea.

The goaltending chores were delegated
to Bill McGrogan due to the injury to
starter Anthony Danzi. McGrogan was
solid in the cage and the defense led by
Jay Austin had their hands full with
Kerr, but managed to keep him off the
board enough to come away with a
victory.

The Danes needed a victory Saturday
at Westfield and weren’t denied. The loss
at home to Williams was not the way the
Danes wanted to start the season but on
Saturday in a must win situation, they
showed character.

“The loss to Williams College can be
attributed to two things. We were flat
because we hadn’t played in two weeks
and they had super athletes,” said
O'Shea.

Today the Danes travel to RPI where
they’ll face an 0-3 Engineer squad.

“Don’t let their record (0-3) fool
you,” said O’Shea, ‘“they’ve lost two
games by a goal.”

It’s going to be up to the offense to put
some numbers on the board against the
tough zone defense of the Engineers.

“We're going to have our hands full
against RPI, it should be a good mat-
chup,” said O’Shea. a
