Chinese visa extensions denied

By Keith White

Missouri’s Republican senators
voted Thursday to sustain
President Bush’s veto of
legislation protecting Chinese
students from deportation, one
day after the state’s entire House
delegation voted to override it.

Sens. John Danforth and
Christopher Bond got the upper
hand in that unusual division of
opinion among Missourians, for
their votes helped defeat the
override attempt.

Bush already has taken steps
on his own authority to protect
thousands of Chinese students
who might be persecuted if they
were to be returned home when
their college student visas
expire.

But congressional leaders
argued something stronger and
more permanent was needed,
and the United States should
make a stronger. statement

against the violent way in which
the Chinese suppressed pro-
democracy protests last year.

A majority of senators voted in
favor of overriding, 62 to 37, but
they fell short of the 67 votes
needed for the two-thirds
majority. House members
Wednesday voted 390 to 25 to
override.

Three Missouri members of
the House argued against Bush’s
veto, including Republican Rep.
Bill Emerson of Cape Girardeau.

“While I have no doubt of the
president’s commitment to
freedom, democracy and to the
Chinese: students living in this.
nation, I do not feel that
administrative action is strong
enough, and that the con-
gressional action is legitimate at
this point, at this time,” he said.

“It is vital that the United
States makes every effort to
show the Chinese — and the

world — that we in no way
condone their actions in
Tiananmen Square. I believe our
action today conveys the
message our people want
delivered in support of the
students.”

But Bond and Danforth said
they were convinced Bush’s
actions are adequate and
overriding his veto might destroy
whatever diplomatic leverage the
president has to convince
Chinese leaders to back off.

“We should not send students
back — who were over here —to
be harassed or injured, killed or
imprisoned,” said Bond.
“Through executive order, we
have already taken the steps
necessary to protect all of the
Chinese who were here.”

Danforth displayed a hand-
written note from Bush as proof
that no Chinese student need fear

Binghamton JSU

leader acquitted

(CPS) — A former president of the
Jewish Student Union at the State
University of New York-Binghamton
has been acquitted of charges that he
himself vandalized the JSU office.

James Oppenheim was acquitted of
two charges that he trashed his own
office in November, 1988, apparently,
police speculated, in hopes of creating
an incident to draw attention to him
and the JSU. If convicted, Oppenheim
could have served up to a year in
prison.

Investigators said they suspected
Oppenheim because the student
claimed he was “disappointed” by the
turnout for.a rally he had organized to
denounce the vandalism.

It “was a perfectly awful
investigation,” said Oppenheim’s
lawyer, N. Theodore Sommer, who
added police failed to consider other
JSU members and other student
managers who had a key to the office
as suspects.

Although no other suspect has been
identified, SUNY-Binghamton
officials said it’s unlikely they will
reopen their investigation into the
incident.

Minority enrollment continues slide

(CPS) — Despite intensified efforts to
recruit them, fewer black students

“enrolled in U.S. colleges iff 1988 than in

1987, the American Council on
Education (ACE) reported Jan. 14.

The drop continued a decade-long slide
in minority college enrollments
nationwide, the Washington, D.C.- based
umbrella group for college presidents
found in its annual headcount of black,
Hispanic, Asian-American and Native
American students.

In its “Annual Status Report:
Minorities in Higher Education,” ACE
found only 28 percent of the nation’s
college-aged black people attended
college in 1988, down from 30 percent in
1987. By contrast, more than a third of
the college-aged African Americans in
1976 took college classes.

Deborah Carter, co-author of the
report, attributed the decline in part to
growing numbers of middle-class black
men who are choosing to join the armed

forces instead of enrolling in college.

Carter also found that, while the
*proportion’of college-age Hispanics
attending school increased from 28.5
percent in 1987 to 30.9 percent in 1988,
the figure still falls far short of the 35.8
percent recorded in 1976.

“Since the mid-1970s, the college
participation of African-Americans and
Hispanics has been a picture not of
progress, but of major regression,” the
report said.

Blandina Ramirez, director of ACE’s
Office of Minority Concerns, speculated
that many black males, confronted by
higher college admissions standards,
might have found enlisting in the military
more palatable than taking out loans and
going into debt to go to college.

“Our current financial aid programs are
not working to encourage low- and
moderate-income students to go to
college,” she claimed.

ACE also found that black women are
more likely to go to college than black
men, In 1988, 25 percent of college-age
black men were enrolled in higher
education institutions, while 30.5 percent
of black women attended college.

Ramirez also noted fewer blacks,
Hispanics and Native Americans are
earning education degrees, The trend
dims hopes for bringing more minority
teachers into the system.

Some states have had more success.
Minority enrollment at five Illinois
campuses — Chicago State, Western
Illinois, Northeastern Illinois, Governors
State and Eastern Illinois universities —
increased by 2.1 percent in 1989, state
officials reported Jan. 16.

Record numbers of minority students,
moreover, are taking college-level
courses in high schools nationwide, a
separate report by the College Board, a
New York-based educational association,
found in December.

Students help in the search for a donor

By Kerri Lewis
STAFF WRITER

SUNY Albany students are trying to
make a difference in the life of a 21 year
old New York University student who
will die of leukemia unless a blood donor
can be located.

Allison’s condition is curable with a
‘bone marrow transplant. However, no one
in her family has a blood type that is
compatible with hers. In an effort to find
a donor to save their daughter’s life,
Allison’s family donated money to an
organization called Lifeline which has
begun to search for a donor for Allison, in
addition to others suffering from this type
of Leukemia. Although Allison only has a
few weeks left, others like her might be
helped by what is, in effect, a donor’s
bank.

Albany Hillel member Dina Berger,
concemed about Allison’s life threatening

situation, approached Hillel president Rob
Stringer about starting a campaign for
blood testing here at the University at the
start of this semester.

Berger said that since one in 15,000
people have the same bone marrow and
Albany has 15,000 students, there is a
potential match in the student body.

Medical experts have suggested that the
blood donor be Jewish because of the
similarity in genes. Albany has 4,000
Jewish students.

For the past two weeks Berger said she
has publicized Hillel's search for a donor
by posting signs and submitting a letter to
the ASP.

Berger said, “Everyone always says that
Albany Students are apathetic, but we have
had over 50 students volunteer to have
their blood tested at a lab downtown.”

Lifeline has provided Hillel with 25
vouchers for students to be tested at this

lab.

Berger described the serious nature of
volunteering for blood testing for
Allison. If a student’s blood type
matches, he or she will be expected to
have a spinal tap. This procedure
involves a needle being placed into the
person’s spine in order to remove some
tissue. Tn spite of the complications with
this procedure, Berger said there has
been a tremendous amount of support
from the students.

Alpha Epsilon Phi has shown
empathy for Allison’s plight. The
sorority is encouraging its member to
get their blood tested, Berger said.

Berger said, “I am really surprised at
the number of people who really want
to make a difference.”

Hillel encourages SUNYA students to
volunteer to have their blood tested. If
interested, call the office at 442-5670.

Troops remain

Moscow
(AP) Many Azerbaijanis heeded their
leaders’ call to “put our grief aside” and
return to work in their capital Monday.
But the defense minister said Soviet
troops could not be withdrawn yet from
the Caucasus.

“The situation is not the best.” Defense
Minister Dmitri T. Yazoy told the
government daily Izvestia about the
ethnic turmoil in the southern Soviet
Union.

He cited attempts by extremists to keep
workers from their jobs in Baku. The
Azerbaijani capital on the Caspian Sea.
Weapons still held by those insurgents
and their attacks on government
buildings. Yazov did not provide details,

Asked by Izvestia when Soviet troops,
who stormed the oil center of Baku more
than a week ago, would be pulled out.
Yazov responded: “Troops will remain
until the required order is restored.”

Dealers surrender

Bogota, Columbia\
(AP) Drug traffickers gave up 2,200
pounds of dynamite Monday and said
they had kidnapped a diplomat who was
the Columbian consul in Miami for 18
years,

A statement delivered to the RCN radio
network said Roberto Garcia-Pena was
abducted Friday and would be freed
Tuesday with a peace message for
President Virgilio Barco.

A bus loaded with dynamite was found
in Medellin, the northwestern city and
leading center of the drug trade. the
traffickers telephoned reporters and said
they were turning over the explosives to
show sincerity in offering to end a 5-
month-old war that cost at least 209 lives.

Since Barco declared war on the
cocaine gangs Aug. 18 following the
assassination of a leading presidential
candidate, drug dealers have carried out
262 bombings and other terrorist acts.

Prosecutors listed homes, bank
deposits, sports cars and other assets
worth up to $30 million, including $5.8
million in cash found in Noriega’s
Panama ranch, to bolster their argument
that Noriega would flee the country if
necessary.

They also said Noriega is an expert in
counterterrorism and covert actions and
still has a loyal band of armed followers.

“Mr, Noriega is an extraordinary danger
to the community,” prosecutor Myles
Mailman told U.S. District Judge William
Hoeveler. He also said Noriega faces 145
years in prison.

Hoeveler, noting the defense’s refusal
to participate in the bond hearing, said he
had no choice but to order Noriega, 51,
held without bond.

Bases may close

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Defense Secretary Dick Cheney
proposed closing or realigning more than
60 military bases in the United States and
12 installations overseas today as part of a
cost-saving effort.

“These proposed actions are part of an
ongoing effort to streamline Defense
Department operations in keeping with
changing requirements and future budget
realities,” Cheney told Capitol Hill
lawmakers in a letter that accompanied
his list.

Cheney released the list of suggested
targeted military sites at a Pentagon
briefing, in which he also discussed his
$292.1 billion fiscal 1991 spending plan.

Among the domestic bases affected are
several in California, including Fort Ord,
which played a major role in the recent
invasion of Panama; Alameda Naval
Aviation Depot, Oakland’s Naval Supply
Center, Moffett Field Naval Air Station
and Long Beach Naval Shipyard.

The overseas bases include seven in
Europe, four in Asia and a Naval Air
Station in Bermuda.

Gov. wants nickels

Albany
(AP) One of the places where Gov. Mario
Cuomo says New York could raise money
is from unclaimed bottle deposits, those
nickels that New Yorkers never bother to
get back from the beverage store.

Of course, Cuomo has’been trying to
get that money for the state for the past
five years. The Legislature has
consistently balked.

This year, there is a new twist.

The head of a special commission
appointed by Cuomo to investigate the
unclaimed deposits issue says he’s upset
that Cuomo has included that money as
part of his proposed state budget.
Commission Chairman Robert Amdursky
said Cuomo should have waited to find out
what the commission thought.

One of the key questions being studied
by the commission is whether the beverage
industry has been making $80 million a
year in undeserved windfall profits from
the bottle law, as Cuomo has claimed.

Valium use is cut

Albany
(AP) Tough new state rules have sharply
cut prescriptions of drugs like Valium and
appear to have made a dent in the illegal

drug trade, the state Health Department
said Monday.

Medicaid claims for benzodiazephines
fell by 55 percent between 1988 and
1989, said the Health Department study.
For the Empire Plan and the state’s
prescription drug program, claims were
reduced by about a quarter,

“It certainly at first blush appears to
have made an impact on diversion and
abuse,” said Vicki Zeldin, state Health
Department spokeswoman.

In an effort to curb abuse, the Health
Department — required triplicate

Prescriptions of benzodiazephines, drugs
used as tranquilizers and sleeping pills
under trade names such as Valium, Xanax,
Ativan, Librium, and Serex. The new
procedures began on Jan. 1, 1989.

Rat gets jukebox

University Auxiliary Services has
installed a juke box in the Rat as part of
a greater renovation planned for Spring
Break.

Currently the juke box is equipped
with records and a graphics screen.
Powerful speakers and a CD’s will be
added during Spring Break, said
Jonathan Waks, president of UAS
corporation.

Waks said that the juke box will play a
variety of music and the records will be
changed approximately once a month,

Waks said the students seem to be
enjoying the new addition. “It’s on
almost the whole day.”

Guinness day limbo

The largest game of limbo is planned
for Guinness Day on April 28 Spring
Fling Week.

According to Jonathan Waks,
president of the UAS corporation, there
has never been a Guinness World record
for the largest game of limbo. SUNYA
will be creating a new record.

He said the planning committee is
hoping about 5,000 students will show
up for the event. “The more people we
get, the longer we’ll stay in the Guinness
book,” Waks said.

Waks said Guinness Day will include
a variety of events such as a fireworks
display and fashion shows held by
sponsors and student groups. He said he
hopes students disqualified early in the
game will stay and participate in the
other activities.

Council on the road

Central Council is taking its show on
the road this week.

On Wednesday, Central Council will
meet at 7:30 pm in the Dutch Quad
Flagroom instead of the Campus Center.

This continues an idea that started last
year. The purpose is to give students
living on the Quads a opportunity to see
what goes on at a Central Council
meeting. It also gives residents an
opportunity to observe the
representatives that they have voted for.

Last year, a Council meeting was held
on each of the five quads. No plans to
hold meetings on the other quads have
been announced yet.

Big brother/sister

resumes programs

The SUNYA Big Brothers/Big Sisters
program, an affiliate of the Albany
County chapter of the National Program,
will resume its programs on Feb 3.

Dana Morrell, president of the
SUNYA chapter, said the tentative
schedule of activities include
tollerskating, bowling, a trip to the
Howe Caverns, Game Show Day, a
talent show and an olympic program that
will be coordinated with Siena College.

The programs run every Saturday,
when classes are in session, from about
12 noon until 4 p.m.

17 SUNYA students volunteer their
Saturdays to work with the kids
involved. The programs are run in a
group fashion, not in a one-on-one basis.
Since the program is run completely by
volunteers, several fraternities and
sororities lend their support with some
of the activities.

There are 32 children in the program.
All are from the greater Albany area and
most come from broken homes.
According to Morrell, the purpose of the
program is to provide role models for
the children.

SA execs meet, attempt to stabilize govt.

By P.J. Marcus
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
The executive board of the
Student Association met on
Monday afternoon to decide
upon the organization’s goals
and plans for this semester.
The executive board is
comprised of the SA president,
vice-president, comptroller,
programming chairs, media

officer, affirmative action
officer, and transportation
director.

President Fermin Espinosa
said that the meeting went
fairly well. Espinosa said he
realizes SA could have been
more productive last semester,
but everything that had to be
done was taken care of.

Espinosa said that there

‘SA President Fermin Espinosa

were a few reasons why SA
was not as successful as he
would have liked it to be.

The first reason that he gave
was a lack of stability. Due to
the resignation of former
President Andy DiPalma, there
was a lot of shuffling in the
executive branch. While the
offices were getting settled,
many people were required to
fulfill the duties of more than
one position. One of
Espinosa’s goals for this
semester is to establish some
stability in the SA office.

The second reason given by
Espinosa is the diversity of
SA. According to Espinosa,
the diversity makes it hard to
unify all of the offices towards
one objective. A main theme
of Monday’s meeting was
cooperation. Espinosa said that
if the officers can support each
other’s endeavors, a lot of
progress can be made.

During a gripe session in
which officers cleared the air,
Espinosa apologized for not
demonstrating stronger
leadership last semester. He
said that when DiPalma
resigned, he had a lot of
decisions to make. “This
semester I’m much more on
top of things,” Espinosa said.

Espinosa said that there are
a few distinct goals for this
semester, the first of which is

to improve the overall image
of SA. According to Espinosa,
in certain aspects, SA looked
good last semester, but in
others they looked bad. This
semester, SA is planning a
“major blitz to promote SA
and all of the positive good
that it can do on this campus,”
Espinosa said. He said this
refers to the services SA
provides such as accounts
handling for campus groups
and organizations,
programming events and other
“intangibles”.

The last thing Espinosa
talked about were the main
objectives of his office, and
the office of Vice-President
Paul Faulhaber. Espinosa said
that while there are many
small problems to be dealt
with, the two issues that he
and Faulhaber have singled
out are Student Legal Services,
and bias related issues.

In a highly disputed
issue, the SUNY Central
Administration has been
investigating whether or not
SLS has the right to provide
students with in-court
representation funded by
money from the mandatory
activity fee. Early reports have
recommended not allowing
this practice. A final decision
is due to be rendered in
Cortland next month.

Delivery business dies along with Broncos

As the Super bowl goes, so goes the
food delivery business.

Many of Albany’s establishments that
deliver everything from wings to pizza for
the areas armchair quarterbacks reported
brisk business yesterday.

That is until Joe Montana, quarterback
of the San Francisco 49ers, surgically
removed the Denver Broncos defense
from the game at the Louisiana
Superdome.

“It was pretty busy until the 49ers
began to rout the Broncos,” a manager for
Pizza Movers said, “our business died
when the Broncos did.”

The Superbowl is a mecca of sorts for
owners of restaurants that deliver. It is for
many the busiest day of the entire year,
owners said.

But if the game is a blow out, like the
one yesterday, sales almost immediately
fall off.

“As soon as the Niners ran up the score
to 27-3 the orders stopped right then and
there,” a Pizza express manager said.

The San Francisco 49ers went on to
crush the Denver Broncos 55-10 in the
twenty fourth Superbowl. The victory
recorded the biggest romp in Superbowl
history.

Despite the one-sided victory, Skippers,
who delivers wings and other finger
foods, had its biggest Superbowl day
ever, according to Blondie, an owner.

“ Tt was a good day for us ,” Blondie
said,” even though things slowed down a
lot after the game wasn’t close anymore.”

Blondie said business on Superbowl
game days are directly related to how
competitive the games are between the
two contenders.

“Usually if the game is close deliveries
stay strong throughout the day,” Blondie
said.

Jeff Roberts, Dominos Pizza Manager,
said his store sold just over half of what
they sold during last year’s Super Sunday
when the 49ers edged past the Cincinnati
Bengals, 35-31. Roberts said more than
250 pizzas were sent out with drivers
yesterday.

Other owners said the sales for this
year’s game day were not as good as last
years, but deliveries still constituted a big

FAA cites lack of fuel as
cause of L.I. plane crash

Melville, N.Y.
(AP) Avianca flight 52’s declaration of a
fuel shortage was relayed from regional
traffic controllers to controllers handling
its approach, but the urgency of the
warning wasn’t clear, authorities said.

The controllers were not told by the
pilot that there was an emergency. Federal
Aviation Administration spokesman Fred
Farrar said from Washington.

Farrar said the word used was “priority”
which “has no particular meaning in air
traffic control. If there is an emergency,
you use the word “emergency.”

The FAA report conflicts with
information provided Sunday night by the
National Transportation Safety Board,
which said the regional controllers had not
relayed word of the fuel shortage to the
local controllers.

The Boeing 707 fell powerless into a
secluded neighborhood of cove Neck on
New York’s Long Island on Thursday
night, killing 73 of 159 people abroad,
including the cockpit crew. more than 20
survivors remained hospitalized in critical
condition Monday.

Inspection of the crash site on a wooded
hillside was nearly complete Monday, and
investigators focused on conversations of
the crew and controllers.

The investigators said tapes show the
crew warned a regional control center that
it was low on fuel about 45 minutes
before the crash, as it was circling over
New Jersey in a holding pattern.

The jet flew in three weather-related
holding patterns totaling nearly 90
minutes along the East coast as it flew

from Colombia to New York City’s John
F. Kennedy Airport.

“We think we may need priority,” a
crew member told the control center
about 8:45 p.m., according to preliminary
transcripts, Farrar said Monday.

A regional controller replied, “How
long can you hold before you have to go
to your alternate?” The alternate landing
site was Boston.

“Wait a minute,” the cockpit replied,
pausing apparently to check, the FAA
said. “We can hold five minutes.” Shortly
thereafter, the cockpit said its alternate
site was “Boston. I can’t make it.”

At that time, the FAA said, the regional
controller telephoned the control center
that handles approached and departures
for Kennedy.

The regional controller said Avianca 52
had just come out of the holding area
“and can only do five more minutes of
hold. Can you take him now?”

The local control replied, “Slow him to
180 knots and I will take him.”

After the call, the plane was released to
Kennedy airport and it made a landing
attempt 37 minutes later through rain and
fog, but aborted the approach because it
was coming in too steeply, authorities
said.

Investigators say the Avianca crew
agreed to a controller’s suggestion that
the plane loop back over Long Island and
come in for a second attempt. It did so,
with the cockpit saying twice it was low
on fuel, but the engines soon quit and the
plane crashed.

News Analysis

Armenia fights for its survival in Soviet conflict

By Raffi Varoujian
STAFF WRITER

On a hill facing the capital
city of Armenia. Yerevan, once
stood a solitary serene
monument.

Called the Fortress of
Swallows, it commemorates the
deaths of 1.5 million Armenians
at the hands of the ottoman
Turks from
1915-1923. OPINION

The monument still stands,
but it is now joined by another, a
new statue, that bears witness to
the murder of over 50
Armenians in Sumgait,
Azerbaijan in February of 1988.

The conflict between ethnic
Armenians and Azerbaijans over
the enclave of Nagorno-
Karabagh has once again made
headlines.

The fight is not new, it has
been an important issue within
the Soviet Union since that
fateful day in February, 1988.
But the story for supremacy over
the region dates back to the mid
1920's.

When the Soviet Union was in
its infancy, one of its main
concerns was the problem of
controlling its huge Muslim
population.

In order to appease Turkey,
also a Muslim country, and in
the hope that Turkey would help
to bring the Muslim territories
under Soviet control, Stalin

EXPRESS LANE

ceded three historic Armenian
areas, Karabagh, Nakhichevan
and Zangezur to Azerbaijan.

All three areas contained an
80% Armenian majority at the
time.

Of interest in the present crisis
are the two areas of Karabagh
and Nakhicheva. Nakhichevan,
once predominantly Armenian,
has since become a largely
Muslim area.

It has remained under Azeri
control even though it is
separated from Azerbaijan by
the Soviet Armenian Republic.

Karabagh, on the other hand,
is still predominantly Armenian.

Before the wholesale
persecution of Armenians and
the start of the pogroms, over 75
percent of Karabagh was
Armenian.

However, the number has
dropped as Armenians have
been forced out of their homes
and apartments by Azeri mobs.

The president of the
Azerbaijani Communist Party
was unseated because of his
apathy toward the persecution of
the ethnic Christian Armenian
community.

The Azeri government simply
stood by while at “peaceful”
rallies, address lists of Armenian
residences and businesses were
handed out of eager mobs, who
then went on killing and
vandalism rampages.

WHERE SATISFACTION IS STANDARD EQUIPMENT

Without paying attention to age
or sex, Azeri’s pulled their
neighbors from their homes and
killed them without a second
thought.

Two Armenian women were
dragged into the street, stuffed
into garbage bags and covered
with gasoline, then set alight.
Why? Because they had
committed the crime of daring to
be proud of their ethnicity,
because they demanded what was
rightfully theirs.

What is the crime of the 8 year
old boy, casually tossed out an
eleventh story window? Or the
infant torn from his mother and
shot in the head because he dared
to cry?

But there is a bigger question
still, As President George Bush
plays the ever-smiling politician,
and gives Mr, Mikhail Gorbachev
a pat on the back for sending in
the troops, all 11,000 of them,
what have those troops done?
The answer is very simple -
NOTHING. The casualties
continue to escalate, as the
Azeri’s, aided by Turkish and
Iranian guns and munitions, carry
on their massacres and pogroms
of unarmed Armenian civilians,
and claim that we, as Armenians
are the aggressors. With what my
dear friend? Knives and hunting
rifles to your AK-47 semi
automatic and bazooka?

This is not a “border” war, it is

a battle for survival.

The Soviet pretends to wonder
how brother can possibly kill
brother. Well Mr. Gorbachev, let
me show you. December 1988,
an earthquake hits Armenia,

350,000 homeless. What do the
Azeri’s do to help their brothers?
Burn transports, tear up railroad
tracks and blockade convoys to
keep much needed medical and
survival supplies OUT of
Armenia. What brotherly love!

For years Armenians have
sought peaceful redress of their

demands, but even glasnost and
perestroika have turned them a
deaf ear.

Although both sides have now
turned to peace talks to try to
find a solution, both groups
know that after all this
bloodshed, peace is not possible.
Both know this is a fight that
will continue until Karabagh is
Armenian.

Too many innocent people
have died at the hands of the
Azeris for Armenians to be
satisfied with anything less. If

Beyond the Majority

Changes are needed in our educational system

By Cassaundra Worrell
MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR

Now that we’ve been back in school for
a few weeks, the facade of learning has
kicked in again and we’re here to do what
we've been trained to do - get good
grades.

I think the 80’s were an amazing time
for most of us. We came of age and
realized that life is not the rosy picture
that was painted for
us as children. And OPINION
as we continue to mature and move past
the later years of adolescence, do we stop
to wonder what have we done to change
things or can we?

Looking back I’d always thought that
90’s would be different and things would
have to change but they haven’t. We
thought racism would go away just as
quickly as it appeared but it hasn’t. We
thought affordable health care would
happen but it hasn’t. And we also thought
we would stick up for what we believed in
but we didn’t.

America is a great country - let’s not
fool ourselves because it’s the only
country where you can denounce the
government publicly and not be shot
down like in the streets of Beijing last
summer. But as one of the world’s super
powers, we have to realize that the face of

this nation is changing. The United States
dollar no longer dictates the New York
Stock Exchange - what dictates the market
is the Japanese yen, which has sent many
investors scrambling because no one
wants to invest in American

businesses.

Compounding this with the 1# Race cannot

other problems of American

the poor. Let me explain: A family with
an income of $50,000 buys a house in a
middle class area (the suburbs). They
have children and they go to the school in
that area. This means they attend a less
crowded high school, with
better payed teachers and
supplies. But let’s say a
family with an income of

lacking. American students
are not dumb, it’s just that we
have not been taught to use
our noggins. American
students know less

than their contemporaries in,
third world nations. For a
country that puts shuttles into space, that
is amazing. Is is me or is something
significantly wrong with our educational
system?

The educational system of the U.S. is a
joke - students are not taught, they are led
by the hand, spoon fed, and learn to
mimic regurgitation. But there is also the
reality of two educational systems in the
United States, one for the rich and one for

They have kids too and
are aware of the problems
of neighborhood urban
schools, but cannot afford
to send their children to
private school. And
because of zoning (they
would have a tough time
trying to get their kids out)
which claims prevent overcrowding at
other schools (those being suburban and
predominantly white) are forced to stay
there with more students, fewer teachers
and even less supplies.

Race cannot be an issue in terms of
education if we expect to compete as a
country for world power. This government
is going to have to change its policies and

put their personal feelings behind them if
they at least want to be in the running.

All we have in this day in the 1990's is
an issue of segregation of the schools. The
U.S. has found a way to get around the
case of Brown vs. the Board of Education
to discriminate against people in regards
to race and class. Other institutions help
support this like financial institutions.
They don’t see non white families who
live in urban areas as sound investments
(in terms of home loans) so the lower
income family can move to the suburbs.
But they see white suburban families as
such because of their already owned
property and can only see upward
mobility. Whereas the other families are
constantly digging themselves out of debt.

The point is unless we do away with
our present education system we will
suffer in terms of economic recession.
The children in cities will not be able to
function effectively in the work force
causing high unemployment and profit
loss to businesses. There is no other way
around it, the children are the future
workers, they deserve a chance. There are
many nations going through their own
kinds of civil wars because of the lies
their governments have perpetuated - I
think it’s about time we questioned ours!

Middlebury tells

frats to shut down
or allow women

(CPS) — Middlebury College’s
six fraternities must begin
admitting women members by
1991 or shut down, the
Vermont school’s trustees voted
Jan. 13.

The board stopped short of a
special task force
recommendation to abolish all
fraternities on the Middlebury
campus by May 30, a fate that
has stricken houses at several
other schools recently,
including Colby, Amherst,
Gettysburg and Castleton State
colleges.

In November, faculty at
Bucknell University in
Pennsylvania recommended
abolishing its 13 fraternities
and 10 sororities because they
are “racist, sexist and anti-
intellectual.”

At Middlebury, two of the
houses, Sigma Epsilon and
Kappa Delta Rho, already
recruit women. Delta Upsilon
and Delta Kappa Epsilon
members have said they’ll
abide by the rules, but Chi Psi
and Zeta Psi have vowed to
fight the order, said
Middlebury spokesman Ron
Nief.

The frats must tell
Middlebury by March if they’ll
follow the order. If the answer
is no, college officials will shut
the house down, and it will be
used for student residences,
Nief said.

“It’s unfortunate,” said
Jonathon Brant, executive
director of the National
Interfraternity Council. “It’s
inconsistent coming from a
college with a liberal arts
tradition.”

Fraternities came under
scrutiny after Vermont’s
drinking age was raised to 21
two years ago, Nief said, and
the houses became hot spots.

“Social life at Middlebury
College was being dominated
by institutions that were
already gender restrictive,”
Nief said. “Sexism was a
constant complaint. Women
didn’t feel comfortable there,
and sometimes they didn’t feel
safe there.”

Middlebury has no sororities.

Interim Student Government
Association President Louise
Totten said the decision reflects
an overwhelming vote last year
calling for retention of a
reformed fraternity system.

Rathskellar to be renovated this Spring
University artifacts being requested from groups

By Marla S. Cohen
and Lori Hament

The Rathskellar, although
remodeled during the summer of
1987, will again be renovated
during Spring Break to liven up
the eating area.

The University Auxiliary
Service Corporation is presently
Tequesting organizations to
submit artifacts such photos,
greek letters, paddles, and other
memories, for display similiar to
T.G.I. Friday’s or Bennigans,
according to Jonathan Waks,
president of UAS corporation.

“The University has been very
supportive in donating Albany

He said the Rat decorations

contributing paraphenalia such as

installed.

The Rat, Waks said, is
somewhat “cold and sterile” now,
but should reflect what students
want most. Since the Rat was
already remodeled, “we can’t rip
it apart, but we can redecorate.”

The Albany theme was
decided upon for two reasons,
Waks said. First, “there’s nothing
that reflects the age of the
school,” but with artifacts from
the University gym, teams, clubs,
and the Alumni House, that can
be changed. Second, items such
as this tend to get stolen, but if
student groups participate, they
may be more apt to protect their
items.

Soundgarden have all the subtlety of
suprise earthquake. Amps on 11,
vocals on a range Robert Plant can
only dream about, and drums
reverberating through your skull non-
stop. Full on indeed.

Richard Crist

It’s a strange, undefinable quality
that can cause 14-year-olds to propel
themselves into their mates, hair
flying, arms flailing, in a mosh pit of
life-threatening proportions. Whatever
that mystery x-factor is - Led Zeppelin
tried to define it simply as presence but
that falls way short - Soundgarden
have it. In abundance. That was clear
at The Chance in Poughkeepsie last
Thursday night, as the Seattle-based
wrecking crew ran through broadside
after broadside of supercharged
Seventies-style metal, turning much of
the small crowd into a sweaty mob.

But although Soundgarden seem to
have all the prerequisites of heavy
metal idiocy - Marshall stacks blazing,
heavy rifferama, and long curls flying
- this is metal with a dangerous twist.
The foremost weapon in the
Soundgarden arsenal is lead singer
Chris Cornell, who possesses a vocal
range as wide as Texas. Cornell is
arresting enough as a frontman, with

Ulltra-Mieoa Metall

looks and long hair ready made for
posters and album covers, but it’s his
athletic skate-punk intensity that
proves him a winner. Cornell is violent
onstage, seeming to threaten
destruction to the Les Paul he uses as a
rhythm bludgeon guitar, threatening to
pound a hole in the floor of The
Chance with his non-stop feet
pounding; even reducing a
microphone and it’s stand to a
shambles. Cornell peaked on "Loud
Love" and "Full On Kevin’s Mom,"
both thick slabs of distorted nirvana.

This is, however, also a band with a
sense of humor, covering Spinal Tap's
"Big Bottoms," and their own run-
through of "Big Dumb Sex," a song that
Cornell says is meant to illustrate
stupid sexism.

Imagine a science fiction novel set to
thrash metal. A nightmare for some of
the skeptics among us, but that would
be an adequate definition of Voi Vod.
The Canadian quartet, maybe the
metal equivalent of Pink Floyd, have
woven some pretty far out tales of
atoms and protons and things I never
understood in my science class
splitting and coming to life etc. that are
redeemed by some imaginative music.

Voi Vod could have used some of
Soundgarden's self-deprecating
humor. Where Soundgarden seem to
be in love of the sheer dumbness of

Soundgarden

some metal and keep tongues firnly in
cheek at times, Voi Vod are in love of
metal's excesses, including overblown
concepts and ridiculous imagery. Voi
Vod are more than capable of
conjuring enough musical firepower
without having to rely on gimmicks,

like some of _ the
# unnecessary soundeffects
used, or concepts too far-
fetched to believe in.
Too hung up on the
concept of their new
record Nothingface, Voi Vod
would have done good
lightening up a little,
_, tathering than relying only
on self-importance and
precise chops to get the job
done. Vocalist Snake is a
little too self-satisfied for
my liking with his vaguely
shamanistic gestures and
continual posing, but the
crowd ate up the whole
schtick anyway.

The whole Voi Vod
concept is a little too-
overblown, but the band is
still capable of head
removal, running through
difficult tempo changes
with deafening accuracy,
like on their cover of Pink

Floyd's Astronomy Domine proved.

Openers on the triple bill at The
Chance, the Big F were hampered by a
shoddy sound mix that rendered them
nearly inaudible. The too-bassy mix
crippled fine numbers like Kill the
Cowboy.

This is the true story behind Glory ,
and enlightening chronology of the
54th Regiment of Massachusetts
Volunteer Infantry and their struggles
for not only victory, but freedom and
respect, as well. The script, written by
Kevin Favre, is based upon the books
Lay This Laurel and One Gallant Rush,
as well as the letters of Robert Gould
Shaw.

The multi-talented and likable
Matthew Broderick (War Games, Ferris
Bueller's Day Off, Project X ) once again
is in top form. In Glory he stars as
Shaw, who, through experience in
combat and the pulling of strings by
his abolitionist parents, becomes a
senior officer for the North during the
Civil War. After being sobered by the
horrors of war at the Battle of
Antietam (the bloodiest in history), he
returns home to learn he has been
offered the command of the 54th - the
first black fighting unit. When he
accepts he learns his biggest obstacle
will not be fighting the Confederate
army, but convincing the Northern
government to allow his troops to take
up arms.

Glory doesn’t attempt to make any

excuses. Intelligently, it looks past

racism and questions of black and

white, deciding instead to focus on the

pride and honor of both races. Glory

has no villains; only heroes and their
personal stories of triumph under
trying circumstances.

It also has a fine supporting cast
consisting of Denzel Washington(who
recently won a Golden Globe for his
performance), Andre Braugher, Cary
Elwes, and the warm screen presence
of Morgan Freeman, a hot commodity
these days. Freeman plays John

The guitars - whether simple and
resonating, or feedback-drenched and
cracked - drift in and out of the
picture, but, at the same time, always
seem to carry it.

The music encasing these songs is
melancholic, yet ultimately uplifting;
like the release after getting something
troubling off your mind or finally
crying when no one’s around. The
band also offers hope. “Blue

thetoric and cosmic proportions - all
the aforementioned ones are included.
Their music is somberly beautiful, and
appropriately spacey. Spacey ina
literal sense, that is - the Galaxie
ingredients are one parts to the
average band’s three.

A certain ambiance sustains
throughout due to this gentle, careful
positioning of the components. The
percussion is very effective, especially
on “Snowstorm,” building tension
with crashing cymbals and then gently

letting us down onto pristine,

the feedback guitar scratches to some
far-off ray of light beaming through
the smallest crevice in a stifling,
suburban bedroom. “I'll fly so far
away,” singer Dean Wareham decides
in the end. And he means it.

With On Fire, Galaxie 500 act as some
sort of mind-expanding stimulant,
giving you both the desire and
momentum to explore where you’ve

The seeming chaos of Eleventh Dream

Day’s Beet is actually a well studied
effort. This Midwest band has studied
the lessons of underground heroes X
and the Dream Syndicate well,
incorporating the former’s female-
male vocal interplay and the careening
guitar histronics of the late, lamented
Syndicate. Not that Beet doesn’t have
enough original moments to warrant
attention; in fact, the way that this
band highlights their influences
without becoming overbearing is one
of their best assets.

“Between Here and There,” the
opening track, best highlights Eleventh
Dream Day’s musical approach - a tale
of displacement and loss in a middle
class wasteland over manic riffing

The Cult's
Sonic Boom

The Clifton Park Arena is a simple}
ice skating rink in a ritzy suburb of the
state’s capitol. But last Saturday night,
it was transformed into a DMZ
(demilitarized zone) when the Cult!
crashed down for an hour and fifteen|
minutes of hard rocking hell.

Led by vocalist Ian Astbury, who!
resembled the devil reincarnate, the|
Cult opened up with “New York
City,” from their recent Beggers|
Banquet release, Sonic Temple. Echoes
lof Iggy Pop’s growling voice behind
|Astbury’s introductory howls turned a
crowd of predominantly pre-
pubescent rockers, totaling nearly two
thousand, into a frenzy.

Guitarist Billy Duffy played the|
standard Jimmy Page- Les Paul
Sunburst in a clean, speedy
Zeppelinesque style. Taking searing
leads on their most recent hits “Fire|
Woman” and “Edie (CIAO Baby),”
(Duffy showed his skill in getting that,
thick, blues-metal sound the Cult have}
made exciting once again. Bassist
Jamie Stewart began “Americal
House” with a slow punchy solo.

Even the less than enthusiastic]
crowd was blown away by the encore
“Love Removal Machine.” The band
played an inspiring show that
eventually left them soaked and spent.

The Once &
Future Rathskellar

Upon my arrivial to the University at
Albany in the fall of 1986, | found a
very different Rathskellar than the
present sterilized quasi-ice cream
palorish neo-pastel plastic
showcase.(Please see page one of
this issue for a photogragh of the old
Rat design.) While the new Rat strives
to be modern, it has sacrificed all
shreds of personality.

The old Rat offered more to the
people of this University than quick
eats. It cradled its patrons in wooden
seats worn comfotable with use . Why,
with all the concrete and plastic on the
campus, wooden benches and chairs
in the Rat were a welcome contrast; a
tactile experience to be thoroughly
enjoyed. Proper lighting is a factor not
to be neglected in the enjoyment of
meals. The earth tones did not quite
reflect light in such a manner as to
sting the retnia. Today there is little
respite from the assualt of high gloss
pastel blues and grays.

There are people in the Rat most of
the day, but the environment has little
viability by its own accord.

Speaking of Accords, the present
walls are all.but blank, spare the
single car advertisment that outshines
a light strip spilling out campus info
tidbits. The rest of the walls are
empty, void of any signs of life. The air
was empty too, but new life has been
added via jukebox. This is a step in
the right direction.

Now keep your eyes peeled
because some other changes could
be on the way! Plans to redecorate
are in the works,as you read this text,
and all that can be said is Hip! Hip!
Huzah!

An open call for memorabilia has
been made in efforts to install a sense
of history, belonging or personality to
the Rathskellar. Whether or not this
will be a succesful venture hinges
upon the quanity and quality of items
recieved.

Your donations of relics could serve
to add to this campus a much needed
medium for which people can relate to
the University complex of cold
concrete and belittling proportions.
The Rat could in effect become a
warm atmosphere that enhances the
time you share with close friend, as
opposed to a sterile catalyst in some
internal nourishment routine.

Act now. Collect items of interest.
Ready them for display. Bring them to
the Commissary. For additional
information contact Jonathan Waks at
442-5950.

COLUMN

The world of the Underground Railroad

Their stories are courageous. And they come from a
wide spectrum of 19th century America.

They are stories that emerged from the Underground
Railroad, the informal network that illegally spirited
slaves northward in the desperate decades before the
Civil War.

Last week Rep. Peter H. Kostmayer, a Pennsylvania
Democrat, introduced legislation to memorialize the
Underground Railroad. He wants to create anv historic
trail, complete with maps, signs and brochures, so that
the public can recreate the journeys,

His idea might be a bit impractical. The Railroad was a
little too untidy to make a connect-the-dots gift to
tourists.

But Kostmayer’s overall idea — remembering the
Railroad — isn’t such a bad notion. In these Tacially
fractious times, it might remind us that much of black
history is also white history.

Richard Prince

Many of the Underground “stationmasters” were free
blacks. Some were famous — Frederick Douglass and
Harriet Tubman. Some were not-so-famous — ministers
who built trap doors beneath pulpits.

Many others were whites who were just as larger-than-
life.

Their actions are the stuff of folklore, set in places like
Washington, D.C.; Bain’s Fort, Kan.; Springfield, Il.;
Battle Creek and Lansing, Mich.; Morgantown, W.Va.;
Cincinnati, Ohio; Uniontown, Pa.; and Rochester, N.Y.

Some of the names involved might surprise you: In
Chicago, Alan Pinkerton was a celebrated detective by
day; he sheltered and dispersed fugitive slaves by night.

But most were ordinary citizens, nameless to history.

In “Underground Railroad,” a book of narratives,
Temple University professor Charles L. Blockson retells
the story of an anti-slavery convention in Syracuse, N.Y.
It took place after the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, when
harsh penalties awaited anyone caught helping to free a
slave.

Virginia sent marshals after a fugitive named Jerry.

“Jerry, all unconscious of danger, was busily employed,
hammering away at a barrel in a cooper shop, when
about 12 o'clock he was seized, and after a brave fight,
was ironed hand and foot (and) thrown upon a cart ...

“The city was in an uproar; no such excitement had
ever been witnessed in Syracuse before. Thousands of
people from the country and adjacent towns were there to
attend the convention,” the narrative continues.

“The fugitives and free colored men surrounded the

building and they were surrounded on all sides by a
dense mass of people. Some of the best lawyers in the
State were present, and volunteered their efforts to defend
Jerry, while one lawyer sold his services to the slave
catchers.”

During a recess in the trial, a man named Jo Norton
gave the signal to his supporters, “‘and in an instant a
stick of timber 20 feet long was mounted on the
shoulders of as many stout Negroes as could stand under
it; at the word ‘Jo,’ with a shout and tun, the battering
ram was thrown upon the door, and carried all before it.”
The marshal managed to get away, and a bloodied Jerry
was freed.

There is the simpler tale from 1851 about a slave
woman identified in contemporary accounts only as
“Mrs. Jones.”

Two sympathetic white’ men, brothers originally from
Connecticut, nailed Mrs. Jones and her 7-year-old
daughter inside a box and drove them by wagon from
Washington, D.C., to Warsaw, N.Y., southwest of
Buffalo. The trip took 22 days and nights,

Soon afterward the woman died, but a Warsaw resident
raised the girl and she went on to marry a prominent
black Warsaw citizen,

Many “friends of the slaves” were active in the
temperance and women’s movements, giving their
abolitionist crusade a zeal that many found
sanctimonious. In Rochester, N.Y., you can see secret
rooms at the home of suffragette Susan B. Anthony that
could only have been used for one purpose.

Some “friends” were public officials; others were
lawyers; others were people with sailboats at their
command.

Ex-slaves would hide in woodpiles on the dock, then be
spirited away to Canada.

Woodpiles, private homes, actual railroad cars, bales of
hay, anything that worked — those were the sites of the
Underground Railroad.

It “was more like a spider web, going in all different
directions,” one researcher told me.

Marge Perez, the historian for Wayne County, N.Y.,
bordering Lake Ontario, agrees that the Railroad deserves
Tecognition. But, she adds, “the story — who did it and
why they did it — is more important than the buildings.”

She’s right. And when we reflect on those stories, we
might ponder one other “why.”

Obviously, those life-and-death times forged a
remarkable interracial cooperation. Why, today, does that
seem such a quaint anachronism?

'CDB spotlight shines

To the Editor:

As the Assistant Sports Director at the school’s radio
station (91 FM WCDB), I'd just like to say, “Thanks” to
everyone who made the Sunday Sports Spotlight a huge
success every Sunday at 11 pm. We had an
overwhelmingly positive response from callers asking
questions to our live, in-studio guests, Willie Glass,
Kevin Rooney, Kevin Adams and Steve McNeil.

We also had interviews with Deion Sanders, and Walt
Fraziers with which we had positive responses also. In
the new semester we have interviews up coming with
former N.Y. Ranger Brad Park, WFAN sportscaster
Christopher Russo, San Antonio Spurs’ Sean Elliot and
David Robinson, Lakers guard Byron Scott, former
Arrows soccer player Branko Segota, harness driver
Donald Dancer, and hopefully some other surprises.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel
free to stop by the station to talk. Once again, “Thanks,
Albany.” We couldn’t have done it without your support.

about it and have it fixed. They told me to call the Indian
quad office. I promptly called them and they told me to
call the Maintenance Department. After receiving a busy
signal for one straight hour, I gave up.

I pay good money to live on campus, and I expect to
have safe conditions. this is not too much to ask for.
What I am wondering is: Is it going to take somebody
getting raped or beaten before this horrendous condition
is corrected? It's been two full weeks, and still nothing
has been done. It seems that nobody really cares, as
everybody has given me the run-around.

Looking in the mirror

To the Editor:
Thad something to say and it just came out like this.

Rainbow Sally
Rainbow Sally is a staunch feminist
Granola eating anthropologist.
A wild dancing college rainbow, Sally
Never missed a monthly protest rally.

Rebellious spirit decked out in black,
Independent, angry and born to act.
Long flowing hair, beautiful, black as coal,
Dyed and teased lets fly her wild gypsy soul.

An angry angel to all she should meet,
No make-up, hairy legs and dirty feet.
Strange, unique woman always out of place,
Blower of bubbles, smiling happy face.

Null, void, till the camera turns to her,
“No more racism,” “Stop animal murder”
She screams, she shouts, making such a racket,
“Mad marcher in her black leather jacket.

Curtains fall like petals off a red rose,
Past the striking gold earring in her nose.
Lover of free love, so young, so wild, free.
Drunk, shameful, middle class, empty, lonely.

Reads poems of love, poems of lonely despair,

Writes poems of rainbows for rainbows to hear.

All watch, blind emotions, lost childhood rage,
Till the next screaming actress hits the stage.

Warren Raboy

Helping the homeless

To the Editor:

In 1987, a professional nurse contracted a debilitating
disease, couldn’t make the payment on her house, now
lives homeless in Miami, Fiorida. In 1988, a steelworker
just lost his job, then his house in a fire. After months in
shelters, the government put his children in foster homes.
His wife continues to live in shelters.

He since disappeared. He lives homeless in Pittsburgh.

Homeless people are not freaks, drunks, or bag ladies.
They are 34-year-old divorcees, 15-year-old runaways,
and 63-year-old ex-shopkeepers.

The Committee to Help the Homeless sees it as every
persons responsibility to pull these people from the
streets. we can end the vicious cycle of bureaucracy and
homelessness.

We feel that a solution is much more money spent on
low income public housing. This would not mean new
funding, simply re-directing funds already earmarked for
maintaining the badly run-down temporary shelters
which are privately owned by a few, very rich
businessmen.

It’s time we ended this pointless waste of millions of
dollars and millions of lives by enforcing positive and
productive pressures upon our government.

The Committee meets at 7:30 on Thursdays in the
Fireside Lounge.

- -M. Kazim Ali
Chairman of Committee
to Help the Homeless

Birth of a nation,
death of a myth

To the Editor:

On Wednesday, January 24th, I arrived for the second
installment of Introduction to Cinema unaware of the
racist content of the film to be studied. Professor Lennig
introduced the film as “The Birth of a Nation,” directed
by D.W. Griffith and released in 1915. In the syllabus
this film is described as “Film as Art, Epic, Message and
Respectable Entertainment.” In the previous class, the
professor pointed out that this film was racist and was a
reflection of the times.

In short, this film could be easily mistaken for medium
to recruit impressionable students in to the Ku Klux
Klan. This story of the Civil War struck many as simply
an excuse to put African-Americans back into slavery
after the failure of Reconstruction. The portrayal of
lynchings and violence against a minority, with twisted
justification by whites, isn’t art or history. Plainly put,
this film’s stylistic influences hardly outweigh its racist
overtones.

At the conclusion, when the Klan rises up to suppress
the Blacks, it is justified with a quote - “The former
enemies (whites of North and South) are united for their
common Aryan Birthright.” Just one of the many racist
points which makes this film offensive to all people.

-Greg Schellenberg

Giving the right of
freedom of "choice"

To the Editor:

I have had my civil rights infringed upon, and so have
the members of my organization and every other student
on the SUNY campus. My right to free speech, my right
to assemble, my right to free press, and finally, my right
to the freedom of choice have all been interfered with.
Although this sort of thing is not as rare as it should be,
this particular case is interesting due to the individuals
who have committed this infringement against myself
and many others.

This infringement upon my civil rights was committed
by members of a group on campus which purports to be
an upholder of civil rights, particularly the right to the
freedom of choice. This group also advocates education
over dictation. So why should members of a group such
as this wish to interfere with another person's rights? I
suppose it is unwarranted to expect those who have no
respect for life itself to hold any regard for the mere civil
rights of another human being.

The infringement itself involves the ripping down of
posters Friday, January 26 and throughout the weekend.
The posters were announcing an educational film and
lecture which was to be held on the evening of Monday,
January 29. It would surprise me if many of you had seen
the posters since few of them remained up for very long.
the posters had been approved through the proper
channels, They contained no insulting material to
anyone. They were, all in all, rather unobtrusive in
nature. The only reason I can see for someone to tear
them down is to keep the rest of the student body from
seeing them, And the only reason I can see for that is that
those who took it upon themselves to censor the posters
are afraid of allowing the populace to educate itself by
attending the educational seminar.

This sort of censorship is not a characteristic of a
country in which not only freedoms of choice and
speech, and many other rights, are upheld by either the
government or its people. It is , in fact, much more
reminiscent of the recently fallen, repressive
governments of Eastern Europe, which refused to allow
their people to see what the truth was, about the outside
world, for fear that they might like what they saw and act
upon it.

My comment to the hypocrites on this campus who
have used their"voice for choice" to stand in the way of
my rights, and in the way of learning for every other
student on the SUNY campus, is that they should be
afraid of the truth, because it could easily lead to their
downfall as well.

Azerbaijan

Continued from page 5
justice means anything,
Karabagh must be kept out of
Azeri hands.

It is Soviet indecisiveness that
has led to this “civil war”, it is
now up to the people who let
this “conflict” get out of control
to find its solution.

We, as Armenians remember
all too well our 1.5 million
martyrs in 1915, and the world’s
apathetic and blind eyes and
ears. For humanity’s sake, it
must not happen again.

The Muslim Azerbaijani and
the Christian Armenian can live
together, for this is not a
religious war.

It is a war for pride and
justice, and above all, a war for
the right to practice ones culture,
tradition and heritage without

Pay-per-vue

“We feel it’s very important for
all our fans to see our events,”
says Small. “In the foreseeable
future we will not go to pay-per-
view. I would be surprised if it
ever happened. It’s definitely
something we are not interested
in?

Sports broadcast representatives
from the major networks are
equally confident that pay-per-
view will not wipe out “free
televison.”

Mark Carlson, director of
sports for CBS-TV, says pay-per-
view does not pose a threat to
network television.

“We have always expressed the
view that sporting events will
always remain on pay-free
television,” says Carlson.

But as pay-per-view starts
luring bigger and bigger events
and the price tag of major
sporting events continue to rise,

Negotiations solve peer problems

By Debra Salzman

Does your roommate hog the phone? Is
your best friend bugging you? Is your
boyfriend/girlfriend calling you five times
a day and you feel suffocated? If
situations like these are making you
unhappy would you know the best way to
proceed to handle these issues?

Negotiating is a difficult activity. You

may be afraid that you MIDDLE

are annoyed by trivial

issues, that your frend EARTH

is going to get mad at

you, that a discussion ROOTS
will lead to an argument. However, there
are ways to negotiate that will minimize
any negative outcomes and maximize
positive results. Just as with any other
interaction, there are productive ways of
proceeding as well as nonproductive
ways. This article will highlight steps that
will help maximize a positive negotiation.

The first thing to be aware of is that in
any negotiation there may be some aspect
of your own behavior that warrants some
change. To be aware of this, and open to
constructive criticism, is an important
starting point.

The next step is to pick the important
issues. There may be a number of things
that a person does that annoy you, but it is
important to confront the issues that are
the most disturbing. Everyone had
idiosyncratic behaviors, but all of these
behaviors are not always a source of
friction in and of themselves. Without the
more annoying behaviors, these other
issues may then seem trivial.

A crucial step is to be calm. By sharing
differences as they arise and not waiting
until you become angry will help the
negotiation process from escalating into
an argument. Additionally, it is important

Applications Available:

to refrain from name-calling. Do not
attack the other person. Do not act as if the
other person’s opinion is worthless. Listen
to what the other person has to say. In
addition, avoid statements that reflect
blame and do not infer ulterior motives for
the acts. This will only lead the other
person to become defensive which will
hinder the negotiation process.

When describing the offensive behavior,
be concrete. If your description is vague
the other person may not understand what
is the actual disturbing behavior.
Additionally, cite specifics and avoid “all
time” generalizations. for example, do not
say that “you always are on the phone” but
rather, “after 8:00 p.m. you are usually on
the phone until midnight and I am unable
to make any phone calls.” Do not assume
that the other person should know your
feelings or should be able to figure them
out from your hints. State the way you
feel, but remember, no blaming.

Lastly, it is important to focus on
specific positive alternatives that you and
the other person can agree upon. This
signifies to the other person that you are
taking some responsibility for improving
the situation, but be reasonable in your
demands.

There is no guarantee that if you follow
these steps that an argument might still not
ensue. Yet, the process outlined is more
likely to lead to a successful negotiation
with a positive outcome.

If you are interested in learning more
about developing positive communication
skills, a workshop: “Can We Talk?” will
be held on Monday during Sexuality
Week, February 4th-8th. Or if you would
like to talk with someone personally about
a problem you are encountering call us at

Women swimmers lose
third meet of the season

By Jerry Kahn
STAFF WRITER

Despite winning several of the events,
the Albany women’s swimming team was
unable to defeat Cortland (5-3) and
suffered a 142-111 loss.

“Kim McDonald, Sarah Klein, (and)
Debbie Brill swam well,” co-captain
Andrea Caporuscio said, “They’ve been
working on their strokes. It paid (off).”

Albany quickly took a lead of 11-6,
when Brill, McDonald, Sari Edelman, and
Andrea Caporuscio won the 400 medley
relay. Their time was 4:19.89.

“We got ourselves psyched,” Brill said.
“The 400 medley relay did a pool
record.”

After Cortland captured the 1000
freestyle, the Danes’ Klein was the victor
in the 200 freestyle. Her time of 2:06.87
gave a 28-27 lead to Albany.

Cortland won in the next two events,
building a lead that Albany would be
unable to dismantie. However, the Danes’
Brenda Braun won the one meter diving.
Her score of 241.50 trimmed Albany’s
deficit to 63-49. Cortland responded with
a victory in the 200 butterfly.

Albany came back by taking the 100
freestyle, cutting the lead to 86-64.
Caporuscio’s time of 0:56.23 set a school
record.

Cortland won the next two events.
Braun dove to victory in the three meter
diving competition. She had a mark of
274.25. The score was 122-85, in
Cortland’s favor.

McDonald followed up with a victory in
the 200 breaststroke. Her time of 2:39.72
made it 131-95.

Albany dropped the final event and took

a 142-111 loss.

The Danes’ next meet will be on
February 3rd at Binghamton.
“We have a good shot,” Caporuscio said.

Potsdam

Continued trom back page
Gardner’s fateful trifecta.

Shene, the Danes’ leading scorer
averaging almost 15 a game, was held to
only five points and seven shot attempts
from the floor.

“They concentrated on (Shene),” Sauers
said. “They did a good job on him.”

“The defensive post played him (Shene)
very well,” Welsh said. “Coach Mitchell
(Potsdam associate coach Bill Mitchell)
did a good job scouting him.”

Michael Brown, who averages 15.5 a
game for Potsdam, also had a frustrating
performance, going one for seven from
the field with two points.

“T don’t know what was wrong with
him (Brown),” Welsh said. “He missed
shots he normally makes.”

Albany also had a disappointing
performance from McClearn, who had
two points and four rebounds, The 6-3
forward came into the game averaging 10
points and seven rebounds.

For Potsdam, Dace had 11 points and
Johnson went five for 10 from the floor
totaling 10. Scott Burgess had a game
high 10 rebounds.

Stephen Mulderry had 8 points for the
Danes and Dennis Cutts added seven.

Albany remains on the road to face

Saturday.

Will the Super Bowl fall prey

to cable and be pay-per-vue?

By Scott Wescott

It’s Super Sunday in the year 2000. You settle into your favorite chair, open a cold
beverage and call the cable company to pay for the game.

That’s right, pay for the game. :

Many close to the broadcast industry think that in the not-so-distant future, the fans
sitting in the stadiums won’t be the only people shelling out Teady cash to watch big-
time sporting events.

“Eventually everything will be pay-per-view,” predicts Craig Sibley,
communications manager for Adelphia Cable Co., which serves the Philadelphia
suburbs. “I hope (major sporting events) are on free television for the rest of the
century.”

The threat pay-per-view poses to “free television” appears to be a real one — so
real that the National Association of Broadcasters has declared January “Free
Television Month” and kicked off an ambitious advertising campaign to persuade
viewers that “free television” may be an endangered species as cable and pay
television grows more powerful.

Cable representatives say phones start ringing when pay-per-view events are
advertised. Major prize fights and pro-wrestling matches have become mainstays on
the pay-per-view circuit. Last summer The Rolling Stones and The Who performed
pay-per-view concerts.

Whether or not pay-per-view will eventually swallow the “free television” market
is something Mark Lockard, general manager of Suburban Cable Co., near
Philadelphia, says remains uncertain.

“Things are changing so fast; whether it’s (pay-per-view for big games) is going to
be a reality or not remains to be seen.”

Sibley says simple economics will fuel the shift from “free television” to pay-per-
view.

“The bottom line is money,” says Sibley. “It costs more and more for the cable
companies to acquire programming.”

Bill Taaffe, a senior editor and former television-radio critic for Sports Illustrated
magazine, says pay-per-view television will prove so profitable to cable TV
companies that more and more sporting events will be telecast.

While Taaffe doesn’t think “crown jewels” such as the Super Bowl and World
Series will ever fall prey to pay-per-view, he says many of the regular season and
playoff games will.

“T do think the great majority of sporting events will eventually be pay-per-view,”
Taaffe says. “I think professional sports as we know them are becoming more and
more upscale. They’re really close to the wall and it’s dangerous for them.”

Jim Small, a spokesman for baseball commissioner Fay Vincent, says there is no
danger of major league games ending up on pay-per-view.

Colby knocks out Dane women in tourney

By Howard Koppel
STAFF WRITER

Albany (10-8) dropped the
championship game of the Lady Dane
tournament, 66-57 to Colby (9-4) in
University Gym, Sunday.

“Colby has weaknesses that we
tried to focus on, like boxing out, but
we forgot them at times. Overall I was
pleased with the play,” Albany Coach
Mari Warner said, “The 6, 7 and 8
players contributed good bench
support.”

The game started with a small
controversy. A technical foul was
called against Albany for not having
their starting line up in on time. “The
call did not effect us, it helped spur us
on. The call was just pickiness on the
referees part,” Warner said. Clare
DeAngelis hit both shots from the
charity stripe to give Colby an early 2-
Olead.

Albany took a 6-4 lead on Faith
Miller’s pair of free throws at 17:32 of
the first half. This was the last time
Albany would lead in the game.

A jump shot by Elizabeth Cimino at
8:15 gave the White Mules an 11 point
lead, their biggest in the half.

The Danes closed the lead to four,
when Senior Gina Richardson sank a
pair of free throws at 2:56 making it
29-25. Albany could get no closer for
the remainder of the game.

Colby extended their lead to nine
on a jump shot by Susan Roberts at
:49. Colby took a 39-31 lead in to the
locker room at the half.

The second half opened with
Albany going on a 6-2 run, closing the
lead to four again. Colby extended
their lead to eight at 10:05 on a jumper
by Roberts.

Beth Montgomery hit a jumper with
2:06 left in the game for Colby, putting
the score at 62-51 and sealing the

‘most

victory.

For Albany, Richardson exploded
for 30 points, 14 rebounds, and a pair
of steals, assists and blocked shots.
Miller contributed 10 points, five
rebounds, two assists and two steals.

Kim Derrington gave Colby their
impressive performance.
Derrington had 14 points, grabbed
nine rebounds, had four steals and
two assists.

Warner expressed vocal discontent
with the referees several times during
the course of the game.

“The officiating was horrendous and
disgusting,” Warner said, “I think
they called a game in Siena yesterday
and forgot what level of basketball
we were playing at today.”

“We ran the offense well and it
showed,” Albany point guard Laurie
Annunziato said, “We got more
points and rebounds. The game was
very physical but they (Colby) won
the game legitimately.”

In the opening game on Saturday
night, Albany crushed the John Jay
Bloodhounds, 71-37.

The Danes opened the game with
an eight point run capped off by a
jumpshot by Sue Stempsey at 17:43.

Annunziato hit a three pointer at
2:56 to run the score to 38-16,
equaling, Albany’s biggest lead of the
half.

Albany continued their dominance
in the second half. Every player on
the roster scored with the exception
of WandaWalker who did not play
due to a probable season ending knee

injury.

Annunziato contributed 14 points,
four assists, four steals and three
rebounds for the Danes. Teammate
Richardson had 14 points and
grabbed 10 rebounds. “The victory
was a definite confidence builder,”

Mike Lettera UPS

After eliminating John Jay, the Danes lost to Colby in the finals.

Richardson said.
Annunziato and Richardson were

both named to the all-tournament

team for their efforts.

Albany’s next game is on the road
against Manhattanville tonight at
7:30.

Walker provides a "spark" for Albany off the bench

File UPS
Walker has provided lift for Albany this season.

By Joshua Rogowsky

Often times major sporting events
aren’t decided by the marquee player in
the game, but instead by one whose
name isn’t the most prominent. In 1951,
Bobby Thompson, hardly a Hall of Fame
player, won the N.Y. Giants a pennant by
hitting “the shot heard ‘round the world”
off Ralph Branca of the Brooklyn
Dodgers. Even in the movie ‘Hoosiers’,
the seldom used Ollie came off the bench
to sink two free throws to give Hickory a
win and propel them to the State
Championship.

When the Great Danes traveled to
Potsdam on Saturday night to face their
arch-rival and nationally ranked Bears,
one could have expected their main
offensive punch to come from leading
scorers Michael Shene and Andy
Goodemote.

However, with those two having off
nights (five and 10 points respectively)
the Danes needed someone else to pick
up the slack. That unlikely hero was
senior Dennis Walker.

Coming into the 1989-90 season,
Walker had taken only 59 shots for the
Albany varsity. Already this year, he has
taken 112 shots, making 50 including 27
of 54 from three-point land for a sterling
50%.

Against Potsdam, he entered the game

midway through the first half and scored
11 quick points, including three trifectas
to turn an 18-10 Bear lead into a 28-22
Dane advantage.

His 16 total points kept Albany in the
game until the very end, and his
desperate attempt at the buzzer nearly
gave the Great Danes a huge upset.

“Dennis has done an outstanding job as

our sixth man,” Albany Coach Doc
Saures said, “He’s our best three point
shooter and getting well deserved
minutes.”

With Goodemote returning to the
lineup after missing two full seasons,
Walker wasn’t figuring on getting much
playing time,but through hard work and
perseverance in pre-season, he earned a
spot in the regular rotation.

“Doc switched me to three from two
(small forward from off guard),” Walker
said, “When I got some important p.t.
(playing time) early in the season, it
really built my confidence. I like to
come in and spark the team. Some times
liake bad shots but I always play hard.”

Walker was the Danes’ high scorer in
an early season win over Oneonta,
throwing in 14 points and since that time
his minutes have increased significantly.
Walker’s absence (due to an illness) in a
one-point loss to Buffalo State, the #2

team in the nation, was a major factor in
that defeat.

“His offense gives us a big lift,” Saures
said, “If he didn’t miss the game, it
would’ ve improved our chances.”

Walker’s teammates are impressed with
his touch from the outside.

“When Dennis is hot he can hit shots
from all over the floor,” point guard
Stephen Mulderry said, “When a shooter
is unconscious like that you just want to
get him the ball.”

Walker recently moved in with
Goodemote, who now calls him ‘skin’, as
a result of a high and tight haircut which a
number of Danes including Mulderry,
Walker, Goodemote, and Ryan
Schoenfeld are now sporting.

“Skin is a great outside shooter,”
Goodemote said, “He’s been doing so
well lately he’s getting kind of arrogant.”

The Danes loss puts them in a position
where they need to win the rest of their
games to reach the NCAA Tournament.
“We need to be very motivated for our
tough road games,” Walker said, “We can
win them all but it will take a big effort.”

If the Danes had managed to beat
Potsdam, the road to the playoffs would
be a lot smoother.

“I thought it was going in (the last
shot),” Walker added, “When it left my
hand it felt real good.”

Potsdam defeats Danes in Maxcy thriller

By Wayne Stock
SPORTS EDITOR

Potsdam’s Eric Gardner drilled home a
three pointer with 1:30 remaining, in
route to a dramatic 56-55 victory over
Albany (12-6) Saturday night, before a
capacity crowd at Maxcy Hall.

Gardner’s trifecta gave the Bears (14-2,
11th in the nation) the lead at 54-52.
Potsdam extended their advantage to four,
after Corey Dace hit both ends of a one
and one at :54.

Albany’s Michael Shene then canned a
jumper and got fouled at :40. After
converting the free throw to pull within
one, the Danes trap forced Potsdam’s
Michael Brown out of bounds at :37.

Alex McClearn then drove the lane and
let fly a ten-footer for the Danes that
would not fall. Shene got his hands on the
rebound but could not convert the follow

Potsdam’s Mike McPeek grabbed the
board and was immediately fouled by
Dennis Walker at :06. McPeek airballed
the front end of the one and one, setting
the Danes up for their final shot.

Walker let loose a three point attempt
from the left corner that clanked off the
back rim at the buzzer.

“Our defense in the second half was as
good as it could be,” Potsdam coach Jerry
Welsh said. “In the first half, we weren’t
picking up their shooters.”

The low score and shooting percentage
(34% for Albany, 40% for Potsdam)
illustrated the intense defense played on
both sides.

“It didn’t surprise me,” Albany coach
Dick Sauers said, commenting on the low
score, “when you have two teams that
know each other’s personnel so well.”

Potsdam built their biggest lead of the
game, 18-10, following an Anthony

Wrestlers fall to

Johnson jump shot at 10:22 of the first
half.

The Danes responded with a 9-0 run,
capped off by a Walker trifecta at 7:21.
‘Walker had a team high 16 points off the
bench, including four of five from three
point land.

Albany opened up a six point lead, their
largest of the game, following two more
Walker trifectas and a jumper at 4:45.

Following a Brown jam and two free
throws from Gardner, the Dane lead was
cut to two at 1:23. Gardner, an Albany
native, had a team high 16 points and
pulled down six boards.

Potsdam took a 31-30 lead into the
locker room after sophomore Corey
Morgan canned a three pointer from the
Tight corner at the buzzer.

“I didn’t know how much time was
left,” Morgan said, “I just heard the bench
yelling for me to shoot...I’m just glad it
went in because it gave us some
momentum.”

Following a lay-up by Potsdam’s
Anthony Johnson to open up the second
half, the Danes went on an 8-0 run. Andy
Goodmote capped it off with a 15 foot
jumper at 12:25 fora 38-33 advantage.

Goodmote could not seem to find his
mark all evening. The 6-1 senior went
five for 17 from the field including zero
of seven from three point territory,
totaling 10 points.

The Bears tied the game at 43 with two
McPeek frees at 6:57. Following an
Albany time out, the Danes once again
found Dennis Walker for his fourth three
pointer, and a 46-43 lead at 6:18. The
Bears recaptured the lead following
