Protesters at one of the wookend’s rallies
“Pornography is the theory, rape is the practice”

Weekend showing of porn
film incites student outcry

By Rosalyn Lee
‘With their chant ringing through the Lecture Center halls, about 40.

people gathered these past Friday and Saturday nights to protest a ~

University Cinemas (UC) presentation of an Xsrated movie.

Coalition Against Pornography (CAP) members, carrying signs
and shouting “Pornography is the theory, rape is) the practice,””
demonstrated, against the showing of The Opening of -Misty
Beethoven. :

Only. about 400 people over four showings paid admission to the
film, according to UC officials.

“Pornography acts as a catalyst in promoting sexual violence arid
negative ~attitudes toward women," said CAP co-chair Ken
Dornbaum. x

“In:these movies, women are hurt, raped, and murdered, Anu the
women are made to seem like they enjoy it, This leads guys to believe
that Women like to be hurt,"”.said Connie Jacoby, a protestor.

GAP co-chair Wendi Cervi asserted, “Women (in porn films) are
treated like faceless sexual objects. We cannot continue to believe
that what goes on in these movies will not affect us. This is not a
women’s issue. It's a person's issue,"

“They're wasting their time,’” said one student going in to see the
film, “It's just another movie," said another. There were also a few
hostile voices amongst the movie-goers. ‘‘They're not humanists,
they (the protestors) are irying to prevent paying customers from do-
ing what-they want to do with their money," said one moviegoer.

According to University Cinemas Director Lisa Feerick, UC knew
about the protest beforehand and supported it. “CAP has every right
to voice their opinions. A protest is as good way to get CAP views
actoss,"” Feerick added that the showing of pornographic films on
campus “is nothing new,"’ but added ‘University Cinema does not
make it-a general rule to show pornographic films. For a few years
running, pornographic films were not shown.”

Feerick called the demonstration a ‘friendly protest’” and said that
she was glad she now had a chance to develop a dialogue with CAP
members, “'His (Dornbaums’s) views and my personal views are pret-
ty close.”

UC may no longer show X-rated films on campus, Feerick said,
saying she would propose a by-law against such movies that would
have to be ratified by the group each semester,**If it's within my
power to see we don’t, then we won't," show pornography, she
added,

‘According to Dornbaum, the coalition had a “closer goal" in mind
when they planned the protest, Dornbaum says that UC plans to
show Body Double in the near future, ‘In this movie a woman is
shown being drilled to death and she does not fight back. The protest
may stop the showing of Body Double, or ot Jenst. University

Gromyko may soften

New York
(AP) A top Soviet diplomat who. claims
too have spied for the CIA for 244 years
before defecting to the United States in
1978, says he's convinced that Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko is seck-

“Western speculation has given
Gromyko the dubious honor of being the
single most influential initiator of the
‘Kremlin's ultrahard line toward the U.S.
in the 1980's,"" Arkady Shevchenko writes
in a new book, **This speculation seems to
me far wide of the mark.”

Shevchenko, 54, who was a protege of
Gromyko, says the chilly relations between
Moscow and Washington are not the result
of one man's policy.

“Gromyko shares power with other key
partners in the collective leadership that
runs the Kremlin," Shevchenko writes,
“And all of them, including Gromyko, are
just now more belligerent and hypersen-
sitive than usual,”

Don’t Walk Alone reorganizing to up efficiency

By Pam Schusterman
STAFF WRITER
Over 600 SUNYA students were assured a safe walk

group needs direction and it is usually better to have a
mixture of people making the decisions,” Student
Association Vice-President Suzy Auletta said.

However, according to Dan Altman, a board member
and co-founder of DWA, graduate help is being sought
and interviews will be held this week.

stationed in the uptown quads, only at the library and in
the office. “This will save on time and help the program's

Along with the changes, the main focus this semester
will be the embarkment of a new awareness campaign, ac-
cording to board member Libby Post.

“We will be using direct on-campus mail, and will
hopefully be getting t-shirts and buttons for the escorts,”
in order to publicize a new, more recognizable DWA

Asante tells blacks to
pass heritage to youth

By Andrea Corson

In a warmly received speech at Saturday's Second Annual Con-
ference on Critical Black Issues, Molefi K. Asante told an audience of
200 that only black mental patients could think racism didn’t exist’in
today’s society.

Asante, chair of Temple University’s African-American’ Studies
Department, said that in the.face of an often hostile world, blacks
must emphasize, for themselves and their children, their African-
‘American-heritage: \.

Asante said he believes that Blacks are worse off now than when
President Ronald -Reagan first. started his term in office. ‘Since
Reagan became president our situation, which was desperate then,
has become critical now," he asserted. One of the main reasons
behind Asante’s attitude he said, is that ‘“Reagan wants to eliminate
job core (training), which will have a great impact upon the African-
‘American family.”

Asante added that government agencies are creating policies which
put severe burdens on blacks. He said they have suffered a decline in
disparable income and that there is much more unemployment and
poverty now than there was in 1980, “‘The rate of black unemploy-
ment is declining slower than that of white unemployment,” he said.

“We can not and must not tolerate this attack on the moral,
economic and spiritual fabric of our community, We will withstand
this," Asante declared.

Asante said he feels that white voters view most blacks as a
“negative force of equality’’ which he termed a clear view of what
Reagan has meant to the African-American family.

In order to understand the historical and cultural heritage of Africa
Asante said he believes in the *Afro-certtic family where Africa is in
the center.” When people participate, he said, in an Afro-centric
family, they all learn to participate in their culture and society,

‘According to Asante, in order to achieve strength in the family one
must look at the relationship between the parents and their children,
“We want them (the children) to learn suspicion, caution and
resistanct to live in this society. If they do not learn this then they are
victims of society,’ he suid.

“We ta¥ght them all people are equal and to respect everyone,
which are the l&sons our forefathers taught us,"" Asante said, adding
os the more suspicion Blacks have the less likely it is that they will

wurt_in.a discriminatory society. ‘Teach them (children) caution
but teach them to be open to human possibilities,"" he added.

Asante distinguished between Moses and the Afro-American by
saying Moses was provided with a social and cultural identity and
when it came time to step on stage he did so immediately, not think-
ing about what side he was on, unlike the African-American in socie-
ty today. "The line between whites and blacks creates great distance
today in America,"" he said.

‘Asante expressed two of his own ideas to help the African-
‘American, First, he would like churches in Albany to open their
doors twice a week for an hour each day to have an afterschool-
school in which a black professional would tech Afro-American
history to Black children.

Secondly, he suggested that sororities and fraternities could give
philanthropic awards to young Blacks who demonstrate high stan-
dards of value in their community, “Awards can be based on ques-
tions of ethics discussed,” he said.

‘Asante concluded with a note of final caution to the African-
American warning thot Blacks must resist the oppression of economic
and cultural “strangulation,"" o

BACCHUS President Randi W

“*For a first semester program it was quite a success,""
said Post, saying she was pleased at the 600 person total
for Fall 1984,

However, in a two month pilot program held the
previous year, over four hundred students were escorted,
while in the five months of last semester, only 600
students were reached,

According to Auleita, several factors must be con-
sidered in discussing the figures. ‘First of all, the newness
of the program was a plus, students were willing to give it
a try’” during the pilot program, she sald.

Altman agreed, saying “there was a lot of enthusiasm
with the pilot program, the people involved knew each
other and they were out to prove that the program could
work."

He added that communication was better during the
trial period, which is something DWA must work on
improving,

Post added that ‘‘the trial period was held in a time of
warmer weather, more people ventured out of their
rooms in the first place."

However, Auletta said, ‘'the number of students reach-
ed at six hundred is a stable number, the people who
needed to be reached, were."*

The program has a lot to offer, Post maintained, say-
ing it helps both women and men recognize that there is
nothing wrong with asking for help, which is better than
facing the sometimes violent consequences of walking

seems that a program which encourages drivers
to consume free, non-alcoholic beverages, and
which discourages drunk driving is obviously a
more appropriate way to deal with drinking.”

‘21’ introduced in state senate

By David Wertheim

19 and 20 year olds who spend their weekends at the
bars may have to start thinking about other things to do
‘as the 21 year old drinking age bill has once again been in-
troduced in the Senate.

The bill, introduced by Senator Frank Padgran (R,
Queens) has sparked Student Action Committee to begin
extensive lobbying in an effort to prevent “121.”

Last year the proposed bill was tabled and delayed

‘(21 is a simple solution to a
complex problem. Governor
Cuomo. has twisted facts and
turned it into a simple issue.
It’s not.”
—Steve Gawley

Several months before it was finally voted down, The bill

has not yet been introduced in the Assembly this year,
Student Action Committee's lobbying strategy will
consist of smal groups of students meeting with senators,
according to chair Steve Gawley, 38 such meetings are
planned, and the Albany campus will be the main force
behind SASU's statewide effort to influence legislators,

early as March," Gawley predicted.

SA is also planning letter writing campaigns and peti-
tions against 21, said Gawley,

“21 will not work, will creat more problems, and will

cost too much money. 21 is a simple solution to a complex
problem. Governor Cuomo has twisted facts and turned
it into a simple issue. It's not,"” Gawley contended.

The Department of Motor Vehicles now has full year
statistics on drinking and driving fatalities and according
to Larry Hartman of Student Action Committee, ‘The
stats will show, we anticipate, that 19 has not been the
main factor. in the reduction of accidents and fatalities,
This could be an embarrassment for the governor, He
probably won't let the DMV release the information:"*

Gawiey added that proponents of 21 have failed to see
the impact of reform upon a decrease in alcohol related
accidents from 1980 to. 1983. These reforms include
limited plea bargaining and substantially increased fines
for convicted drunk drivers, he reported.

Emphasizing the importance of education, he asserted
that “the positive effects of education can be increased
without a rise in the drinking age."”

In addition to Student Action Committee's efforts at
maintaining the 19 year old drinking age, SA is working
on other programs related to drunk driving such as the
Designated Driver Program, Many area bars are par-
ticipating in the program where one person will declare
themselves the designated driver and would receive free
soft drinks all night.

The SUNYA Rathskeller is one bar taking part in the
program. ‘We've worked closely with SA on this," said
Rat manager Jay McClure,

SA will be working with a program centered in Wiscon-
sin called the ‘I'm Driving Club," similar to the
Designated Driver Program, To avoid possible abuse of
the system, many bars will be first experimenting with the
program before permanently implementing it, according
to Gawley. “Now we have a system set up that will
work,”” said Gawley, ‘Our local legislators support it and
the sheriffs department has been a great help, We have
built a solid-network.””

Greek groups concur on cooperation

By Peter Sands

Breaking the world’s record for musical chairs was one
of the many ways of getting campus fraternities and
sororities together that. was discussed, at a ground bres
ing meeting held last Friday, but no decision on forming a

» Greek Council was reached,

Nine out of fourteen campus fraternities and sororities
were represented at the meeting. “Only four or five were
missing,"*-said:Patty: Salkin, Director of Student Pro-
gramming for the Student Association,

Response to the idea from fraternity members was
‘mostly positive, although’ some concerns were raised.
‘I'm very happy about the meeting,” said Rachel Bryant,
president of Psi Gamma sorority.

Michael Looney, Vice President of Kappa Sigma Alpha
echoed Bryant, saying, ‘I myself liked it a lot,"* adding
“Unification will help students who want to join,"* One
of the purposes of the group. would be make the wide
variety of fraternities and sororities more apparent to
Prospective members.

Many members of existing fraternities were concerned
with the possibility of overregulation, however “I am not
all for it, {a Greek Council.] If members of fraternities
and sororities want to get together, that’s a great idea.
But I would rather see open meetings than a centralized
group with three or four elected leaders. It will make it
too restrictive, especially with national frats competing
against local frats,"’ said Alpha Kappa Epsilon President
Steve Lyons,

Concern with overregulation was also expressed by SA’

President Rich Schaffer. We have no intention of trying
to take over this thing, SA will serve in an advisory
capacity," he sald.

SA is not interested in governing any inter-fraternity
council, according to Patty Salkin, who added, “SA will
be working with fraternities and sororities on campus,
ind’helping them to program events.

Jessica Casey, of the Office of Campus Life, agreed,
expldining, ‘I don’t think anyone's interested in being
very restrictiye."* As long as fraternities comply with anti-
discrimination policies on campus, they will be allowed to
retain their charters, according to Casey, “We want to
make sure everything is done according to the best in
terests of everyone,"” she added,

In the mid-70's, SUNY Central banned fraternities af
filiated with national’ organizations from SUNY cam-
puses for failure to comply with anti-discrimination rules.
The decision was recently reversed, causing a surge of
fraternities to spring up on campus. “I recognized three
more last week,” said Schaffer, University rules for the
granting of provisional chartets are currently being
reviewed, and uriother mecting will, be held in two weeks
to review the proposed rule changes, according to Salkin,

Doing away with some of the problems. in. getting
recognized could be beneficial to- fraternities. and

sororities. "I think it’s a 'good idea because it will cut
down on the paper work, said Semper Fidelis President
Lance Vetter. ‘There are Yoo many bureaucratic tangles
tothe present system, "2 Vetter said,

Helping fraternities program events and advising them
will be SA's major. concern according’ to’ Salkin. Many
fraternity. members expressed the desire to govern
themselves, and “show the school we're not going to
make a holy ruckus on campus," according to Marc
Breier, president of Pi Lambda Phi;

“No one will be treated any differently than any other
group by SA," said Schaffer, adding that a council would
help to eliminate the simultaneous programming of
eyents, and also aid in technical matters like finding
meeting places and activities to be sponsored. ‘SA wants
frats to determine their own guidelines,'’ said Vice-
President Suzy Auletta.

Many members of the frats said they’ want to see
cooperation among the fraternities in sponsoring large
events, Communication and cooperation was stressed at
the meeting, reported Scott Weiskopf, public relations
director for Zeta Beta Tau, a

Dept. revamp centers
ion Afrocentric theme

By Ken Dornbaum
STAVE WRITER

With an Afrocentric theme in mind, plans are under-
way to revamp the curriculum of the African and
American Studies department, according to depart-
ment chair Vivian Gordon.

‘A number of courses have been dropped and many
lothers will be updated, said Gordon. Among the drop-
ped courses is one title, “Affirmative Action." This
lsubject will be put into perspective by the classes
Blacks and the Law," and ‘A History of Civil
Rights," she reported.

Moredver, other classes will be made more cont
porary. '' ‘The Black Family’ has been transformed ins
to ‘Patterns, of Family Life’ since there is no one type
lof Black, Family, but many different types," said
Gordon.

‘One of the aims of these changes is to
students of quality, both black and non-bl

broad-based, liberal arts program, and that we

mode, then our enrollment will increas
explained,

Gordon defended the progtam from those who try to.
invalidate its importance saying, ‘What can you do
with a BA concentrating on Chaucer?.,.You can do
anything with Black Studies just like any other liberal
art--read, write, analyze, plus you have extra

‘finformation."*

She also said that the corporate structure is
lacknowledging the significance of Atperican ‘‘co-
Jcultures,"” giving an extra advantage to a Wack Studies
student.

Gordon said she feels that ‘‘a racist statement is ask-
ing what you can do with a degree in Afro-American
studies. Many don’t consider it a discipline, Because
this is a relatively new discipline- about 20 years dld- it
is viewed as suspect by the traditional disciplines. Black
studies is emerging and defining itself within ‘x
sophisticated structure,

One of her major concerns, she said, is to increase
the number of grad students who have a particular in-
terest in research of “Afro-centric” concerns,

We're hoping that'as faculty lines are distributed,
‘we'll be able to make at least two additions and that by
next year we'll have major research projects in the
works," Gordon said, **We're expecting to double the
number of quality grad students who will enhance the
program and the;faculty,"* she added,

“This would alleviate the current overload on faculty
teaching large classes, Gordon explained, adding there
is not enough teaching assistant (TA) backup for AAS
professors,

Gordon spoke optimistically of new courses plann-
led, including one on Black Mythology and another on,
Black art, dance, psychology, and music all taught
from an Afrocentric view. ‘These classes will help
Jcomplete the offerings of the department," she said,

‘Among future projects planned is an annual con-
ference to be scheduled for either late Spring or next
fall sernester that will identify the type of empirical
research that could emerge from BS programs be of
value to the legislative process, Gordon said.

Also being planned is a symposium by William

February 25. Strickland will present his paper, ‘*Mar-

Former university physician,
Margaret Krikker, is the founder
of a 3-year-old research founda-
tion dedicated to the study and
prevention of a little known but
common genetic disorder known
as Hereditary Hemocromatosis
(HH).

HH is characterized by the
stow, and sometimes lethal filling
of the vital organs of between
600,000 to 1.2 million Americans
with excess iron,

HH is the excessive iron ab-
sorption of the H gene, said Krik-
ker, and individuals’ with this
disorder have inherited two ab-
normal H genes, she said, one
from each parent.

These individuals absorb excess
amounts of dietary iron above
their needs, from’ infancy on,
Krikker said, and since the body

has no way of discharging the ex-
cess iron except by blood loss, the
iron slowly accumulates in vital
organs and joints.

It takes decades for the iron to
accumulate and produce organ
damage, explained Krikker, thus
symptoms are delayed in men un-
til their 30's or later. Symptoms
appear even later because of their
periodic blood loss during
menstruation, she said.

“Prevention is better than
treatment”? said Krikker a self-
proclaimed activist, ‘‘attempting
to prevent the nation’s food supp-

ly from having excess iron.”

“It (HH) can be fatal if un-
diagnosed,” said Krikker, adding
that ‘‘once the problem develops
the financial costs are
tremendous.””

Early diagnosis prevents later
complications that may surface,

Treatment is simple explained
Krikker. By removing 1 pint of
blood periodically, possibly
through blood donation, the bone
marrow is stimulated to make
more blood from the excess iron;
and so the excess irdn is gradually
removed from the organs.

Once excess iron has been
removed, blood lettings are done
only three to four times a year for
life s0 as to prevent a reaccmula-

Direct election of legislative leaders proposed

By J. Michael Malec

SUNYA Political Science Pro~
fessor Joseph Zimmerman recent-
ty proposed an amendment to the
State constitution that would
allow New York State residents to

elect the leaders of the Assembly _

‘and the Senate instead of the pre-
sent method of election by
members of the houses.

‘Zimmerman made the proposal
in a recent paper presented to the
American Political Science
Association asa possible way to
curb inefficiency in solving urban
and rural problems:

“If the state constitution
mended to provide for the elec-
tion of the Speaker of the lower.
house and the President of the
Senate by a statewide constituen-
cy, it is possible that the Governor
would have allies in the legislative
halls who would rise above petty
parochial concerns in addressing
major urban and rural pro-
blems,”’ said Ziramerman,

Legislative Leaders are the
leaders of their houses, and are
currently elected by the member-
ship of the houses, and are thus
the spokespersons for the majori-
ty party.

He reasons that problems occur
because, ‘the individual state
legislator, (is) elected by a
relatively small constituency, to
support regional and statewide
solutions," and therefore ‘there
is 4 relative lack of political pay-
off and great political risk. for
state policy-makers to initiate ma-
jor comprehensive | remedial
action,*

William Alexander, Director of
Communications for thé “New

York State EE
characterized the position of
legislative leader by saying, “The
‘Leader of each house is elected by
the majority of the members of
that house; and with rare excep-
tions, and-or obvious reasons is a
prominent member of the majori-
ty party in that house.”*

“The Leader's prime respon-
sibility is to determine, along with
the majority party members, what
proposals should be given priority
as ‘party bills’, and to see that
these are moved expeditiously
through the legislative process,"
added Alexander.

‘When asked what he thought
the Leaders and Governor would
think of his proposal, Zimmer-
man said, “I don't know how
they would react to this. [haven't
talked to those people, but they
probably wouldn't be too
enthused.””

In commenting on the proposal

“for Senate Majority Leader, War-

ren Anderson, Charles Dumas,
Director of Communications for
the Senate, called Zimmerman,
“politically naive’, said the pro-
posal, ‘shows a complete lack of
understanding of the legislative

process,

Alexdnder, speaking for
Speaker Stanley Fink, said ‘It is
unfortunate but true that the
general electorate is frequently
unaware of the names of each of
their! representatives, much less
the leadership qualities, or lack
thereof of other members of the
house, and is hardly in a position
to vote intelligently on choices for
leadership.”

Gary Fryer, of the Governor's

Press Office, said that Governor.
‘Cuomo is aware of Zimmerman’s
proposal, but has taken no posi-
tion om it. He added that the
Governor is opposed to ‘“‘govern-
ment by amendment”’, and that
in a recent radio interview Cuomo
expressed the opinion that our
present state government, ‘works
Pretty well.”

After being told of the adverse
comments, Professor Zimmer-
man explained that his paper was
concerned with all 50 states, not
Just New York, and that problems

of “disharmony” between the
Governor and the Legislative
Leaders were not major problems
in’ this state, unknowingly im-
itating Gov. Cuomo in saying,
that New York State government,
“‘works pretty well.'*

Noting that the proposal comes
at the end of a 25 page paper on
urban and rural. problems, ‘Zim~
merman expressed some surprise
at the reactions it has provoked.

“*1 just threw it out as a way to:
stimulate thought about state
yovernment, I never expected
anyone to seriously think -I

£

wanted to change the
York selects its leaders.” -

He went on to say that in some
other states, programs are
stalemated by lack of agreement
and that in those states his pro-
posal- might be an effective
solution,

In defending se extremity of
the proposal, | Zimmerman said,
“While the proposed change is
drastic in constitutional terms,
the proposal is no more drastic
than the changes which ave'oc-
cured in American States over the
past two centuries.? a

NEWS UPDATES——

One million graduate

No one knows who, but one of the
55,000 Spring graduates from the 64 cam-
pus SUNY system will be the millionth
student to graduate iiom the SUNY
system.

According to Knickerbocker News,
SUNY, the nation’s largest. university
system, will celebrate this event
throughout the year treating the entire
class of 1985 as the symbolic record
breaker.

A number of SUNY students, faculty

] and administrators have already begun the

celebration, according to the ~Knicker-
bocker News, by displaying bumper
rs stating “A SUNY Grad is one in a

million.

‘The celebration was officially launched
Thursday night with an alumni reception
in New York City. Individual campuses
will honor their alumni at-various occa-
sions throughout the year, said the

|] Knickerbocker News.

Students deficient

Of the 1,900 University of North
Carolina students who took a geography
test, more than 90 percent failed, Some
students estimated the state’s population
to be 25,000 to 250 million while others
replied that ‘the state of Atlanta” is on
their southern border,

“Fewer than half of the 1,875 students
knew that Alaska and Texas are our two
largest states, ancl only wvout one in every
five knew that Rhode Island and Delaware
are the smallest,"* said Richard J. Kopecy
chair of the geography department at the
UNC-Chapel Hill.

‘A similar test designed by The New
York Times was administered 35. years
ago. At the time, the paper called the
results appalling." Kopec said today's
students? results were significantly worse
than the students from 1950.

“<This'exam ‘was given, Not expressly to
embarrass North Caroliians or to indict
our educational systems, but to link our
state With the nationwide deficiency in
geographic training,’” Kopec said.
Minority scores rise

According to new figures from the Col-
lege Board, black high school Students’.
Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) scores are
increasing faster than whites’, yet continue
to remain below the national average.

Blacks’ mean verbal score for, the
1983-84 school year was 342. This is 84
points below the national mean of 426, but
a three point increase from. last. year's
results. The mean math scores of black
students went up four points to 373, nearly
one hundred points below the national
math mean of 471.

“Basically what we sve is one of the
ironies of American education. There is
improvement by mi ities on standardiz-
ed tests, but the number of minorities go-
ing on to higher education is going down,””
stated Reginald “Wilson, head of the
American Council on Luucation’s Office
of Minority Education.

Stomplistics prevail

‘The winners of last Friday's Telethon
sponsored Rock -n- Roll Warfare were The
Stomplistics, said Nathaniel Charney,
Telethon Talent Co-Chair. As the winners
of the six band competition, The
Stomplistics won a double sided single

Nothing much

We found this ad lying around the ASP office:!

HAPPENS

WHEN YOU REGISTER WITH
SELECTIVE SERVICE?

NOTHING.
Men, if you're about to turn 18, it's
time to register with Selective Service
at ary U.S. Post Office.

It's quick. It's easy.
And it's the law.

Presented as a Public Service Announcement

Nothing? Really? Then why have an estimated
500,000 men not registered for the draft?

Maybe they recognize that something does hap-
pen when you register. You've let the government
know that you're available; that they can call on
you whenever they want you. You've given up the|
right to decide whether you believe in fighting, or to
‘determine what's a worthy cause. The government
can decide what's right at any time, and when they
do, you've told them just where to find you.

Andrew Mager didn’t want to let the government
make his decisions for him, so he refused to
register. He was sentenced Monday to six months in
[jail and thirty months probation, But Mager isn’t
the first to go to jail. Eight other men have been
given sentences ranging from probation to two and
fa half years in prison.

Ben Sasway is one of those men. Just before he
was sentenced a little over two years ago, he ex-
plained that draft registration ‘*deprives young men,
‘of one of the most important moral decisions they’
can make — to take another life.””

‘The government would like you to forget that, so
they make registration quick and easy and reassure!
you that nothing happens. Andrew Mager and Ben
Sasway didn’t fall for this and neither should you.
Maybe you registered because patriotism leads|
you to believe in fighting blindly for somebody|
else's cause. Maybe you just wanted to abide by the|
law. Either way, don’t buy the government's line:
something does happen when you register.

Alternative to 21

While the legislature looks to raise the drinking]
age to 21, Student Association is working on a
much more creative way of discouraging drunk
driving.

They're instituting a new program called the|
“I'm Driving Club.” Students who agree not to
drink any alcoholic beverages while driving their
friends to downtown bars, will now be able to get
free soft drinks for staying sober. Sign-ups for the
[club will be held this Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday in the Campus Center.

Both Student Association and the participating!
bars deserve praise for initiating the program in this
area, but its success lies in the hands of the students|
who join. For the first few weeks, the novelty of al
free soft drink may be enough to keep students par-
ticipating. But when the fun wears off, it’s up to
leveryone to remember the reason for the program
— drunk driving is dangerous,

This gives us a chance to show legislators that
Ithere are alternatives to 21, Let's stick to it,

Access to dasses inequitable

Tam a psychology major awaiting graduation in May.
My field of interest is within industrial/organizational
psychology. Over the past two years, I have attempted to
design my course study to accomodate this interest. This
meant taking certain core business classes to enrich my
background in this area. é

Michael Galardi

Recently, before pre-registration, I went to see a pro-
fessor in the psychology department to obtain a permis-
sion card for entry into a class called Organizational
Psychology. Upon arriving, he informed me that:he had
given out all available permission cards and the class was,
closed. My reaction was one of surprise, What was an up-
per level psychology class that meets one night a week do-
ing closed before the start of pre-registration? This pro-
fessor said he gave the majority of the cards to business
majors, I asked him if he felt it was fair that a business
major could be granted entry into any upper level class he
wished; but a psych major like myself would be denied
entry to a class in the business department and even, in
this case, a class in my own department. This professor
didn’t realize the business school had a policy of closing
upper level classes to non-majors, He replied he didn’t
think it was fair and next time he would give psych majors
full priority, Regardless, I wasn't granted entry into the
class,

I perfectly understand the business school’s policy of
not allowing non-majors to sign up for 300 and above
level classes at pre-registration, There are 2000 or so
students in the School of Business and I realize, the
department must give them priority at pre-registration if
they are to get into classes required for their major. But at
the same time, the psychology department has also enroll-
ed within it a substantial amount of students and I feel
this warrants the department to adopt a similar policy for
them’at pre-registration.

At present, I am enrolied in a business management
class which I feel is a necessary component in my in-
dustrial/organizational background. The professor here
recently mentioned a class he was offering next semester
which I recognized as pivotal to my education and field of
interest. But the business department lists this as a class
open only to School of Business majors.

L approached this professor and explained my situation
to him, He seemed genuinely disturbed by the fact that he
couldn’t let me into the class. I asked him if he could
speak with the assistant dean of the department, John
Levato, to get him to make an exception for me since this
class is such an integral part of my education in organiza-
tlonal analysis and development, He informed me that
John Levato indicated to him quite clearly that under no
circumstances would he make an exception to his existing
policy. I must admit that I was persistent in trying to get
this professor to change his mind about speaking with
John Levato, but it was to no avail. We talked more and I
continued to vent my dissatisfaction and frustration with
this policy. In the past, this particular instructor widely

conveyed his view that equity should exist among all
students, I agree with this proposition and find the scales
of equity blatantly tilted in favor for business majors in
this situation.

So now I am completely disillusioned. If a professor in
the business department feels he would have no impact on
John Levato, I have concluded that talking with him
myself would be an almost total waste of time. The next
step is to see someone with the same level of Rae within
the university as John Levato. I've decided fo speak with
the chairman of the psychology department. I plan to
propose to him a system of massive reform within our
department. I feel it is only fair a policy exists which pro-
hibits non-psych majors from enrolling in 300 and above
level clatses at pre-registration. Further, psychology ma-
jors should be given priority of enrollment for 400 level
classes at the start of each semester.

Notice I use the words “priority of enrollment,”” 1am
not advocating that non-majors shouldn't be permitted to
enroll; that would be hypocritical on my part. Besides,
I’ve yet to discover the rationale behind these School of
Business policies. What I’m saying is that at the start of
the semester, no non-major should be allowed to sign up
for a 400 level psych class until enough time has passed
giving majors ample opportunity to sign up themselves.

Please don’t misunderstand me. This is not a personal
vendetta against the School of Business. It is also not just.
a question of my getting into classes needed for my field
of study. It is, though, a question of equality in our
educational gcals. From my own point of view, I'm
beginning to wonder exactly what I am doing in Albany
spending my hard-earned money to get an education
when I can’t get the education I need. I can’t-see going in-
to an Interview experience and firmly convincing a poten-
tial employer ‘that I am a credible component of his
organization's environment if I don't have the necessary
background and experience. I thought the goal of this in-
stitution was to provide a quality educational opportunity
for all regardless of race, creed, or color. Does this goal
‘begin and end at the point of admission to the university?
What about a quality educational opportunity for all
regardless of one’s field of study and interest? The
policies of the business department and their value to
students, not just business majors, are being addressed in
this question,

Can we all honestly look at our educational experiences
thus far and feel safe in saying we got the best education
possible? I’m sure some of us can. But what I've seen in
this institution in my years here indicates that a lot of us
cannot. How could we when many of us are not permitted
to further our educations in the ways we see fit? It’s not
Just a matter of the policies of one department; the
credibility of the vhole university, and maybe even the
educational process in general, is at stake here. If this
university is to provide the educational experience and
training essential for us to further ourselves and our
careers, then maybe it’s time we re-evaluate the system
and take a closer look at the efficacy of the so-called “‘op-
portunity" being provided to us.

To the Editor:

Lam so glad you decided to run Patri¢e Johnson’s col-
umn again this semester: I've been meaning to comment
on it for some time now.

You see, it really annoys me how this girl manages to
find racism and discrimination in everything, The plain
and simple fact is that everyone is discriminated against in
some way, not just blacks. People who go looking for
discrimination will find it in no uncertain terms,

T believe that thinking along the lines that Ms, Johnson
does only serves to perpetuate hostility among blacks and
whites. Wise up Patrice, not all whites are out to get you,
They're too busy worrying about their own problems.
Jews, women, poor people, rich people, fat people, ugly
People, catholics, protestants, even up-staters and Long
Islanders; we all know discrimination, But we can't have
everybody. like us either. I think Patrice needs to change
her attitude, Instead of being so negative, worrying about
who's hating you all the.time, it would be more produc-
tive to appreciate those who love you for who you are,

Support for oppressed

To the Editor:

It is well known that there was .a recent effort to
transport Ethiopian Jews from Sudanese refugee camps
to Israel, At one time the Jewish population in Ethiopia
consisted of approximately 500,000 people. However, to-
day it is estimated that only 28,000 remain. This
devastating drop in population is due to famine as well as
antisemitic persecution, It is because of this additional

~ danger to the lives of the Ethiopian Jews, that the rescue

mission had to be conducted in secrecy. Therefore, only
the people who were strong enough to reach the Sudanese
refugee camps have been rescued and Lehersiageyrecin the
very old, young or weak remain in Ethiopia,

Up until now, no action bas been taken on campus on
behalf of those people who so desperately need our help.

. On Sunday, January 27 un emergency meeting was held

to decide on a course of action to be taken by SUNYA
students. The product of that meeting was the formation
of the Ethiopian Jewry Fund, a group designed to pro-
mote awareness of the Ethiopian Jewish problem, and to
raise money on their behalf, On Tuesday, February 12,
Joan Roth, a celebrated photographer will come to the
SUNYA campus to discuss the Ethiopian problem and to
show her photographs of the Jews living in Ethiopia, We
would like to invite everyone to participate in this event
and to learn more about the plight of these people and
show support for them,

The real world

To the Editor:

In response to the statement’ ‘employees would be
hired through student job service (those guys in that of:
fice are always reading the newspaper anyway)" that ap-
peared in the article on Bookstore ripoffs, ASP, February
Ist, written by Jeff Turk,

The New York State Job Service office located in the
Campus Center basement has in the three years it has
been on campus found employment for over 400 students
in need of a job per year. No, Mr. Turk, we do not just sit
around reading the newspaper. When I'm not filling jobs
for employers on and off campus, 1 am running students,
who have no car, to job sites so they can make a few
dollars to help themselves make it from year to year.

T hope the many students who have benefited from the
service provided by my office take a personal affront to
your statement, Before shotting your mouth off, gel some
facts as to what my office has done for the student who
needs a job. But of course that would be the smari way to
do things, and your statement alone is proof that you
could not handle the burden of doing anything smart. 1
would venture to say your work history is nil as well as
your ability to project the nature of a business office,

My office has had many talks with Barnes and Noble
management and I can oily praise them for the manner in
which they conduct business, hire personnel and fill the
needs of the students,

As for me, personally, I have been with the depart-
ment of labor eleven years, earning my keep with a
dedication to my job in helping those in need of employ
ment find such employment, Before you cast stones, get
facts, but more important, go out into the real world and
prove yourself as a contributing factor to today’s work
force before you pass judgement on how things should be
done. You must do it before you can improve on it

Swimming traffic
To the Editor:

1 swim in lane 3 at fitness and occasionally recreation
hours and have, since 1981, observed a steady decline in
the courtesy of other swimmers, especially men. (In fact,
in 1982 or '3 I witnessed a semi-violent occurrence as one
man stood up for a woman against one of these rude
swimmers.)

Lane 3, for the uninitiate, is our ‘*fast’’ lane. It should
work as follows: Swimmer swims up on one side, turns
quickly but not blindly upon reaching the wall, and swims
back. The center of the lane is for passing only; likewise
‘one should change direction only at the ends — not at the
15 or 20 yard mark.

Many of my friends during the past 8 years (including
the present), have been swimmers or water polo players
up to the national level. Thus I know that rudeness is not
the mark of a “‘pro."* Yet, every time I swim I get clawed
or bumped. (Accidental bumps, by the way, are to be ex-
pected. Here 1 mean puinful, substantial, even fepeated
“clobbers" or “dunk:

Imagine reaching the end of a lane, turning around (or
flipturning) and coming face to face with a 200-pound
freestyler who is about to do his flipturn — through you!
Not pleasant,

I could go on, and describe our major offenders — as if
they were rattlesnakes or other vermin — so we could
watch for them (for our own safety). But we are responsi-
ble adults here — or responsible middle-aged adults, sir
— and I should hope this letter would be sufficient it
stands, (I don't hit back, by the way — but someday so-
meone might.)

look forward to 3% more month:

New enthusiasm

To the Editor

‘The spring semester this year brought a fresh coating of
colorful, paper snow to the walls and bulletin-boards of
SUNY-Albany. Clubs pushed to enlist new members
while the schoolwork was light, and the atmosphere was
not yet embraced by the anxiety of studying. Nothing
new. Nothing, that is, until 1 noticed an unusually well-
made flyer announcing an interest meeting for a new
fraternity on campus. Not a bad idea, but I was convine-
ed that it was probably just another pin-stripe fraternity
in which business majors discussed the ups and downs of
Wall Street over cold coi fee. Eager, for something new, 1
went to the meeting anywa:

Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity turned out to be a
brotherhood in which social, academic and athletic values
are stressed, It is a national fraternity, with over 75 years
of tradition, and thousands of members throughout the
country. | was surprised ut how many people showed up
for the first meeting, but | was more surprised at the en-
thusiasm with which the guys who first conceived of br-
inging Sigma Alpha Mu to Albany presented their idea. 1
had thought that such spirit and enthusiasm did not and
could not exist in any club at SUNYA. It does now,

1am a pledged brother of Sigma Alpha Mu, and I look
forward to bringing some of the spirit back to SUNYA.
Though Sigma Alpha Mu stands out as an exceptional
organization, there are other fraternities and sororities
springing up all around campus, Together these groups
will revitalize the faltering interest and enthusiasm here at
Albany, and should be given every consideration by the
University Administration.

1 can guarantee that SUNY Albany will be hearing
from Sigma Alpha Mu in the coming months and years,
and that SUNY students will benefit from its existent

Voluntary activity fee

To the Editor:

Recently our suite of girls came up with an idea we
would like to share with others who may be interested.
We decided to sponsor a child through Foster’ Parents
Plan. For only $22.00 a month (3.75 a piece) we help sup-
port an underprivileged child from Columbia, For this
small amount we not only help this child live a better life
but also aid his family. This money goes towards things
such as food, shelter and other such necessities. We have
only been involved in this for a short while but plan to
continue for as long as we are all together. We were hop-
ing by writing this letter that others would also get involv-
ed with Foster Parents Plan. For more information you
can either write: Foster Parents Plan, 155 Plan Way,
Warwick, RI 02887 or call toll-free 1-800-556-7918,

We hope that others will join us in making a difference

“by seriously considering helping out a child less fortunate

than us all, The personal rewards are worth so much more
than the small price we pay.

Supportive spectators

To the Editor:

Tam writing this letter in response to Joe Leonard’s let-
ter printed Tuesday, January 29, entitled “Improper
Equipment."

As an’Albany State gymnast, it is pleasing to see that
ve have supportive spectators here at the University,
While I appreciate Joe Leonard's concern for our safety
nd equipment needs, I do not appreciate the many incor-

ectly stated facts in his letter. He should research his sub-
ject matter before falsely stating what is or is not
“standard,”

The proper administrators have been made aware of
our need for a spring floor exercise mat, and are currently
contemplating our problem,

We want to thank our supportive spectators again, and
hope to see you at our meets!

Student Community Commit-
tee chair Rich Dalton asserted,
“I's ridiculous for students to get
back for a paperback the same
amount they originally paid for
the tax."

SA will be meeting with Barnes
‘and Noble this week Gawley said,
adding **We're going to demand
some’ explanation of the whole
buy back procedure." He also
said, ‘We'd like a complete and
fully delineated explanation of
the procedures and caveats of
them displayed near the buy-back
line to eliminate confusion."*

“Since students are not
satisfied with the buy back
system, we're looking into. alter-
natives,’* said Gawley.

“Things can be done to im-
prove the system,"” said Dalton,
adding that in 1979 students stag-
ed asit-in and got prices lowered
and extensions on the book return
peri

‘One of the alternatives cited by
Gawley includes setting up a
“book barter market."

Campbell expressed doubts
about the success of such a
market, “One of the reasons it
might not be too successful is that
many students sell back their
books at the end of the semester
because they want the cash to get
home or for the holidays. An
awful lot of people like to have
the money in hand. The wait from
‘May to September to sell back
books is a long time for some
people."*

Gawley said that a book barter
market has worked well at
Buffalo.

Other alternatives, aevording to
Dalton, are a used. book store,
possibly another sit-in and the im-
provement of the SA Used Book
Board.

Lynn Jacobs, a transfer from
Southwest Missouri State Univer-
sity, said that the market ‘sounds
good." She explained. ‘‘at
Missouri there was an annex to
the bookstore where you. could
buy used books’ and’ sell them
back at 75 percent of the original

James Eriven, a senior, said ‘1
think a book market would be
pretty cool, I think it would work

ind students would use it.”

Gawley pointed out that
although Barnes and Noble is a
monopoly on campus students
have an advantage that other
customers dealing with

don’t have. “We're

he stated. “Students
have a majority on the University
Auxiliary Services. Board of
Directors. This gives us the
leverage and say to correct abuses
if they are going on,"

Gawley cautioned that
although Barnes and Noble's con-
tract runs out in May of 1986, the
goal of the investigaiton is not to
get rid of Barnes and Noble but
“4to remedy and fix some of the
problems and to address student
concerns in a way that is mutually
beneficial to the students and
Barnes and Noble."* o

Pornography rally

<Front Page

Cinemas might be persuaded to
show the half-hour movie Killing
Us Softly along with it. Killing Us
Softly is a film about the por-
nography industry," said
Dornbaum.

Final plans to show Killing Us
Softly would depend on financing
and the availability of the movie,
Feerick said. The film deals with
director Brian DePalma’s treat-
ment of women.

CAP leaders said that they also
want pornography out of the
campus bookstore, ‘I really
don't think there should be porn
at the school, Those who want it
should have to go off-campus,"

said protester Sharon Cooper.

Sophomore Gino Visco staged
a one-man counter-
demonstration on-Friday night by
taping a picture of a naked
woman on his chest and then
throwing open his coat while he
was standing in front of the
demonstrators,

“What I hear is it (CAP) is the
feminist group and the Gay and
Lesbian Alliance, I'm not sure
though," he said. In fact, neither
GALA nor Feminist Alliance
were official sponsors of the
demonstration,

“1 just had the feeling that this

‘Unbeaten gymnasts roll on

By Sarah V. Schuss
_ Momentum is building for the currently
undefeated Albany State Gymnastic team.
! On Tuesday, they went on the road to
H} defeat Smith College by 40 points, scoring
| 143.65.
'~ Albany swept first, second, and third
{ places in both the uneven parallel bars and
balance beam, and took first and third
places in the yault and floor exercise,

Sophomore Sué Leskowitz of Port Jef-

* ferson Station had a fine performance tak-
+ ing first on vaulting with an 8,35 and third
on floor, scoring 7.05.

Albany's Carol Bart of New Paltz also
proved herself, taking third place on both
vault =(7.6) and balance beam (7.3).
Newcomer Leslie Steckel (Brewster, N.Y.)
placed first on the uneven parallel bars
with a 7.6 followed by Brenda Armstrong
(7.5) and Karen Bailey (7,15).

‘Armstrong, last Year's MVP, also took
first on beam with a 7.55 routine, followed
by Karrie Brooking’s (Saratoga) second
place routine scoring 7.45. Freshman
Michelle Husak tumbled to an 8,05 on the
floor exercise, taking first place.

While their Smith defeat was well
deserved and easily attained, a seven year
battle was finally won when Albany State
defeated Brockport State, who were, until
Saturday, a major powerhouse in New
York State Div. III gymnastics.

Victorious coach Pat Duval-Spillane
‘was proud but not surprised. “It’s been a
Tong, long time’, she commented. “But if
ever we had a team that could do it, this is
the one."”

The first event, the vault, noted as
perhaps Albany’s weakest event, was
swept by Brockport, However, the Eagles’
1.4 lead was quickly ended when Nora
Bellatoni, (Port Chester) (7.8), Leslie
Steckel (7.7), and Brenda Armstrong (7.7)
‘swept the entire uneven parallel bars event.

Brockport’s difficult moves couldn't
outscore Albany's concentration and team
pull on the balance beam. Bart and Arm-
strong took second and third scoring 7.4
and 7.15 respectively.

‘Once again, freshman Husak took first
on floor, with an 8,35. In the all-around
category, Albany's Armstrong and
Brockport’s Ellen Smelsmeyer tied for
first, scoring 30.45.

The Albany gymnasts felt their biggest
win to date of their season depended large-
ly on lots of team spi

waited win, Captain

Danes top Plattsburgh, Skidmore

<Back Page

Finally, with seven minutes remaining,
Skidmore overtook the Danes, $2-51, on
two Jerry Rickrode free throws. This
marked the first time in three games that
Albany had trailed that late in the game.

The Thoroughbreds were to open the
lead to 54-51 before running out of gas
down the home stretch; Albany turned the
tables on Skidmore and enjoyed a 12-2
spurt of their own at this point, dashing
Skidmore’s hopes of an upset:

“We have six good players,
characteristic of a young program,
Begley, indicating that his squad didn't
have’ the depth possessed by a more ex-
perienced squad such as Albany.

‘When asked if this was a step in the right
direction for his squad, Begley replied,
“We don't like ‘losing steps," but when
you consider where we were...”

“They didn't surprise me at all,"” said
Albany State Head Coach Dick Sauers. ‘I
think my’ players underestimated them.
Maybe this will jar our guys info reality.

Croutier, who came into thie game as the
Danes leading scorer (12.8 points per
game), not only led the Danes in points,
but also hit 8-for-8 from the foul line, in-
cluding some clutch shots down the
stretch. Adam Ursprung and Greg Hart
were also in double figures in scoring with
14 points and 10 points respectively, Also
playing a key role in the victory as Brian
Kauppila, who put in eight points,

Leading the way for Skidmare was
sophomore forward Jeff Jacob who -had
18-points on the night. Jim Taggart added
13 including 7-for-8 from. the foul line in
the second hi

In Saturday's contest, strong defense
was the key as the Danes breezed past Plat:
tsburgh for a big SUNYAC East victory
The Cardinals hit only 23 of their 75 shots
from the floor and were forced into If
turnovers.

“We played in spurts," Croutier com-
mented, We started quick, then we let
up." Early in the first half, Albany ran off
12 unanswered points, opening up @
14-point lead, 20-6 with 10 minutes
remaining.

Plattsburgh hung tough, however, scor-
ing the last six points of the halt, cutung

the Danes’ lead to 10, 34-24.

During the first nine minutes of the se-
cond half, Plattsburgh played on par with
the Danes, trimming the margin to just
seven points,

Then, the Albany ‘Fast Break
Machine" took charge;- outscoring the
Cards, 12-1 over the next four minutes,
which put the Danes in the driver's seat
60-42. Albany coasted from there, adding
‘one mofe’streich of 8-0 at the end of the
game,

Greg Hart, in another fine effort, paced
the Danes with 16 points. Croutier added
12 and Adam Ursprung, who is one of the
Danes leading sccrers, had just six.

However, Ursprung did have a game-
high 14 rebounds. “When you slack off on
‘one thing, you've got to pick up on
something else,"* said Ursprung in regard
oa less than spectacular night from the
floor (3-10).

The Cards senior forward Steve Dowd
led the team with 15 points with Mark
Mcintyre adding 10. Jeff Law, who was
tied with Dowd for the Cards leading
scorer averaging 11 points per game, con-
verted just three of his 13 shots from the
floor for six points.

“We got careless at times which is okay
when you have got the lead," commented
Sauers, who, following the victory over
Skidmore, is just five wins away from 500.

The Danes were outrebounded in the
first half and, according to Sauers,
discussed the situation at halftime. “We
didn’t want to stay in there for the re-
bounds," he said. “We wanted to get
down the court and score."*

“They had too many guns," said Platt-
sburgh Head Coach Norm Law. ‘We're
weak on the bench, That's the way it’s
been all season for us,"" he added,
HOOP-LA: The Danes added black bands
to their jerseys Saturday night in memory
of Ed Kelly who passed away earlier last
week. According to Croutier, the bands
were sewn on at the suggestion of Croutier
and teammates Jan Zadoorian and Pete
Gosule. They will wear the bands for the
remainder of the season . . . The crowd at
University Gym was 1850 despite the
snowfall, a

as Albany had hoped, with Sheldon and
Averill literally destroying their op-
ponents. The two Ithaca wrestlers were
transported to the hopital following their
matches.With 2:19 remaining in the first
period, Sheldon, executing a legal move,
lifted Ithaca’s Bob Panar ello, hipped into
him and drove him down, Panarrello, fail-
ing in his attempt to stop the move, then
stuck his arm out, and his own weight,
combined with that of Sheldon, resulted in
a separated shoulder for the Ithaca senior.

“1 feel very bad about that,” said
Sheldon, ‘+He’s a great guy, I've known
him for a long time,"

Averill’s opponent, Glen Cogswell,
ranked second nationally, lasted longer; it
wasn’t until the second period with 1:06 re-
maining that Cogswell’s elbow popped out
of its socket, a result of trying to stop
“The Averill.”

“There's no way to stop that move,"”
said Averill, “If you try, either your ribs
break or your arms pop."’

Coach Joe DeMco was not at all pleased
with the injuries inflicted upon the
‘opponents,

“1 wanted to win, but not this way,"
said DeMeo. “I have a lot of respect for
both of those guys. It’s not just a disap-
pointment, it’s a tragedy."

Ithaca had its revenge in winning the
next two weight classes, in part due to the
fact that Jim Fox was recovering from the
pulled neck muscle he had received in the
State Championships earlier this season. It
was the first time Fox, ranked seventh na-
tionally amongst 142 pound Div
wrestlers, had wrestled since obtaining the
injury.

The Danes rebounded with Jerry Clark
in the 150 pound weight class. With 2:19
remaining in the first pe: wd, Clark pinned

SPORTS BRIEFS

Women swimmers

When facing a team like Cortland,
which is one of the top-rated schools in
Division MHI in the state, the Albany
State women swimmers weren't expec-
ting to win, which they didn’t. They
were hoping for some personal bests and

few more women to qualify for the
| States, which they did,

“It was more important for people to
qualify,” said Assistant Coach Carolyn
Shadock.

Thus far eleven swimmers have
qualified. Jennifer Morrow joined them
on Saturday as she qualified for the
States in the 200-meter breaststroke with
a time of 2:54,

Chris Monahan swam a personal best
of 1:09 in the 100-yard breaststroke.

“We were missing three swimm
which is why we were kind of weak,"
said swimmer Carol Pearl.

Pearl broke two records at Cortland.
In the 1000-meter freestyle, she swam a
11:35 chopping seven seconds off of
Nancy Smith's record, The 100-meter
freestyle was also broken by Pearl, who
swam a 5:36 to shave only a second or so
off of her own record,

Unfortunately for the Danes, both lost
their ‘decisions, and going into

two points, The situation Faughnan had
feared earlier was a reality.

Faughnan was again faced with a taller,
heavier opponent, and his 4-2 loss to Rich
Kane was not decided until the end of the
final period. But the loss did give Ithaca
the finat edge, as they took the overall vic-
tory, 23-22.

The Ithaca match was not without its
positive aspects, Sheldon, Seras and
Averill, in winning their matches, remain
undefeated this season, increasing their
win streaks to 18-0. Averill’s win tied him
with Vic Herman,('83), lor the University
record for career wins with 63, (Seras ttaifs

Richburg Is third

Diana Richburg, an Albany State
Junior, placed third in the 880-yard run
at the Dallas Times-Herald Invitational
Track meet Saturday night in Reunion
Arena.

Richburg, a Lansingburgh native, was
holding second with a half lap to go
when Romania’s Sita Lovin elbowed
her. Lovin passed Richburg and wound
up second for the race.

“That really threw me off stride,"”
said Richburg via telephone after the
race,

The Albany State Junior, who was
suffering from a chest cold, broke out in
front at the start and remained in first
until Donna Melinte, the eventual win-
ner, passed her midway through the
race,

“That was part of my strategy, to get
the lead and try and control it the best
that I can," said Richburg. ‘I hesitated,
though,””

Next week, the Albany State student
will travel to Los Angeles for the L.A.
imes Invitational Meet on. Friday
Richburg will then fly to the Eastern
coast for Saturday Olympic Invitation

By crushing Hamilton 79-54 on Thurs-

day, the Albany State women's basketball
team now stands at ai impressive 16-2
overall. Even more impressive is their third
place ranking in the R.T. French’ Poll of
Division III N.Y. schools,

Yet their next four contests are all con-

Warner. ‘Everything fell for us beautiful-

‘And there was well rounded scoring in
both games. Against Hamilton, high
scorers were Rainny Lesune with 14 points,
Kim Kosalek (12. points) and. Donna
Hughes (10 points). Lesane, who shot 56
percent from the floor, was four for five
from the free throw line.

Against Hamilton, the Danes: shot 49

better than their past efforts, The foul
shooting, however, has still been
inconsistent.

The Danes shot 43 percent from the

50 the saying goes.

For the Albany State wrestling team,
their ending came Saturday afternoon,
‘After having increased their win streak to
17 matches with a hard fought 27-
tory streak over the Coast Guard Academy
in the first leg of a tri-meet, they were
defeated by the Ithaca Bombers, the
number one ranked Division III wrestling
team in the nation, The margin of defeat
was crushing one point, the’ final score:
22-23.

The tri-meet, originally scheduled as a
quadrangle including Central Connecticut,
who later declined due to inclement
weather conditions, began with Ithaca
soundly defeating Coast Guard, 35-4.

‘The next rotation paired Albany with
Coast Guard, the match starting off as ex-
pected, with Albany's Shawn Sheldon and
Dave Averill defeating their opponents
18-6 and 6-3 respectively. Other Dane
highlights included John Balog’s pinning

‘The high point of the match came in the

heavyweight division, when Gene
Faughnan’s opponent turned out to be a
head taller and some 25 pounds heavier
than he, With Albany's victory depending
‘on the success of Faughnan, he defeated
Dave Newton, 2-1.

“feel great about the win," said
Faughnan. "That guy was a lot bigger
than me; I was scared he was going to
throw me around, He got tired at the end,
though.”

Newton's match with Ithaca's
heavyweight, Rich Kane, had resulted in a

“TH tell you, the last minute of that
match was the longest minute of my life,””
said Faughnan just prior to the Albany-

match doesn't depend upon my winning."?

Unknowingly, Faughnan had predicted
the very position his team would be in go-
ing into his match,

Men swimmers lose, but Vardy makes NCAAs

‘After @ weary three-hour bus ride, the

The outstanding individual in this meet
was definitely Michael Vardy,"* said Head
Coach Dave Turnage.

The meet showed the team's com-
petitiveness, as the Danes were basically
experimenting for attempts to qualify for
the States.

One swimmer who did qualify for the

States was Jim Neiland. He came through
with an excellent time of 11:45 in the
1000-yard freestyle.

Frank Carley, another aggressive swim-
mer, had a time of 5:28 in the $00-yard
freestyle, which put him in the running to
compete in the States. Michael Wright
swam the 200 yard freestyle in an im-
pressive time of 1:57,3, which also
qualified him for the State competition.

Peter Farmer led the 400-yard freestyle
with a time of :52 which qualified him for
the States, Finally, a versatile Fred Green-
baum, normally a sprinter, swam in the
500-yard freestyle, and finished his race
with a fantastic time of $:25.6. Fred will
also be off to the States after that victory,

Ball's efforts also deserved credit, swim-
ming a fine race in the 200-yard
backstroke,

“My times are coming down, nothing

‘The meet on the whole was closer than
the team expected it to be.

“We felt we had an outside chance if we
played around with our line-ups," said
Ball.

The team’s main concern now is qualify-
ing for the States. Of the 20 people on the
team, only 18 can go,

“We want to find the best swimmers for
the relays," said Turnage. “It should be
quite a battle for the 400 yard freestyle,

“<The six people in the $00-yard freestyl
should also prove to have a tough fight,

Turnage continued.

This coming Wednesday, the Danes will
compete against Vermont at home for
what should prove to be another challeng-
ing meet.

hopefully we'll get some good races out of
it in order to qualify for the States,’ said

When SUNYA English Professor Tom
Littlefield attended a similar workshop at
SUNY Purchase last fall, he was impressed
by the “real development of the possibility
of a scholar’s sense of the text.” He
organized Brown's visit to SUNY Albany's
Lab Theater on February 2 for an all day
workshop with four actors from the
Capital Reperatory Company.

John Russell Brown, born and educated
in England, is an associate and director of
Great Britain’s National Theatre, Although
presently a professor of Theater Arts at
SUNY Stony. Brook. he is sill involved
with the National Theatre, and according.
to. Professor Littlefield, “He commutes.”
He has published several books and articles
dealing with his approach to Shakespeare,
directing, and theater as a whole.

‘The workshop tan from 9:30 am to 3

Was a sizable investment of weekend time,
but except for some studeiits who were re-
quired to attend and one asleep in the front

marvelous" with John Russell Brown, Tom
Litlefield began by introducing the par.
ticipating actors from Capital Reperatory
Company, Giving a brief description of the
recent theatrical. involvement of Michael
Hume, Kathleen Masterson, and Kathy
Stiles, he hesitated upon introducing Philip
Soltanoff, Obviously having forgotten his
bio, Littlefield asked, “What have* you
done, Philip?”

The actor replied, “Well, I'ma heck of a
nice guy.
The workshop was broken into {wo ses-
sions, the first dealing with Act Il sc. ii of
‘Measure for Measure andl the second with
Act Ill sc, i, Brown déscribed the play as a
‘problem play,” but not in the traditional
sense of the (erm, "The play starts by say:
ing that in’ Vienna there will be a law that
says fornication is punishable by death, To

‘Vienna's in a hell of a mess!

that allows for experimentation without
damaging the end product, Using the
analogy” of oil painting, which becomes
messy: from. trial and error, he said,
“There's something different about human
beings, You can try an approach and send
them away for a weekend, and they come

back showered and shiny and clean.”

As the actors worked through the lines
of the text, Brown  irequently and
apologetically interrupted the actors to
make comments and suggestions, or to ask
for input from the audience, He excused
these interruptions by. berating himself
with,“ know I’m an absoulute’ pig. I'm
really a swine, but...”

His goal was not to achieve a finished
end product, but to get the scene “increas-
ingly alive” by capturing the essence of the
text and conveying its depth to the au-
dience. Some humorous discoveries
resulted from this approach, In Act Il sc, ii
Isabella pleads with Angelo to pardon her
brother, who is sentenced to death for im:
pregnating his lover, She argues, “Who is it
that hath died for this offense? There's
many hath committed it,"

Lucio, played by Philip Soltanoff, sup:
ported her argument with such an en:
thusiastic, "Aye!" that the audience broke
into laughter. Even the girl sleeping in the
front row mariaged to lift an eyelid,

As the scene progressed, Brown com-
mmented, “The:deeper they get into the
philosophical argument, the sexier they
should become, | won't tell th

Brown’ encouraged the laughter.

sisted, “We get his laughter through the
fun of rehearsal, and hopefully, through
the fun of performance,” Brown himself,
smiling with his entire body, laughed
through the scenes as if hearing them. for
the first lime

Brown, described his approach to the
seene as'“a marvelous game of tennis.

Towards the end of the workshop.
Brown spoke about directing as a profes
sion, “It’s a wonderful game,” he smiled
There's no better job in the world,” Cer
tainly, for John Russell Brown, there could
be no better job.

As enjoyable and enlightening as the
workshop Was, five hours seemed a little
too long to sit without getting restless, A
few people drifted out during the second
session, and many, especially students
were visibly anxious to leave, Comments
from the audience ranged from "I was cap-

1984 - Michael Radford's powerfully visual
interpretation of George Orewell’s book

stark, terrifying vision of the recent past, as
opposed to the near future when shot, is
epitomized by the late Richard Burton.

because Big Brother says so.

If the second scene Hurt stands wret-
chedly before a mirror. Burton taunts him.
Burton snaps out one of Hurt’ front teeth
and the audience cringes. The point hits
home. Burton's final viscious act takes
place in infamous Room 101. Here your
worst fears become reality. The sequence is
exquisitely photographed, While Burton
matter-of-factly explains that the rats Hurt
fears will bore through his face, the camera
moves in on Hurt’s face. Cut to Burton,
back to Hurt’s glassy eyes, back to Burton,
and so forth, Hurt finally screams “Do it to
her,” referring to his lover Julia, who he has
envisioned behind Burton. Two plus two is
five, not because Big Brother says so, but
because it is.

Burton lurks everywhere though scarce-
ly on screen for more than half an hour. He
was an actor's actor to the end despite the
hoopla surrounding his persona, John Hurt
fits the part of Winston almost too well. He
looks like a skeleton of a man. Suzanna
Hamilton plays Julia with just the right
amount of hope and pathos. Her best
moments are during the nightmare-dream
sequences. She is quite effective.

1984 is a depressing movie, It is not for
the Ghostbusters crowd to say the least.

Starman - Picture in your mind anadult
version of Spielberg's E.T, and what you
see should pretty much look like John

Starman should be seen for,fithe
marvelous performances of Jeff Bridges as
the alien and Karen Allen as the woman
who takes him in. They play off each other
as if they've been screen partners for years.
There is a solid chemistry here.

One particular scene epitomizes the en-
tire film. In it, Bridges fails to comprehend
why humans kill harmless, defenseless
deer. When he sees one strung up to the
back of a car he brings it back to life. Allen
realizes he is as helpless as the deer and
abandons her plans to leave him stranded.

Don't miss Starman. It's a thoroughly en:
joyable film with two certifiable new stars,
subtle comedy and an odd twist on the
love story angle.

From Coast to Coast
American Guitar

Part two of a three-part review of 1984 music. Coming on Friday, Jazz and Urban

Contemporary.

ws which affected

me the most. Since 1984:saw my debut as a WCDB disc jockey, music was a big
part of my life, and in particular, the American guitar bands so near and dear to my heart.

Reviewing the best American bands of
1984 revealed some salient features, The
first of these is that the Americans are back
on top of the progressive music scene.’
remember a few years back, everyone was
saying how terrible American music was.
Perhaps that was true, but the pendulum
has definitely swung back.

Another item that caught my eye was
that the best of the American guitar music,
had become regionalized in 1984, Some
great music came ‘from all parts of
America, but the truly excellent bands
seemed lv grow out of three distinct areas.

The first and: perhaps best of these
regions was Los Angeles. Already known
‘as the home of the Paisley Underground,
LCA. guitar bands grew beyond that genre
and some bands actually have gained con
siderable prominence. The most important
of these were the Bangles, These four
ladies are destined for the big time. Their.
first EP on Faulty Records in 1983
established them on the college radio
scene. The summer of 1984 saw the release
of their first full-length album on CBS, All
Over the Place. It was immediately picked
up by college stations, and by the autumn
they were even getting substantial com:
merical airplay, The Bangles have a raw,
powerful guitar sound backed by vocals
which range from beautiful harmonics on
“James” and “Going Down to Liverponl.to
a harsher sound on “Hero Takes a Fall,”
their first hit single. The Bangles toured
this fall with Cyndi Lauper, which, com-
bined with their videos on MTV, have
served to increase their exposure to the
general popullace. Reaction across. the
country, including album sales, have been
favorable;'The future fur L.A.’s Bangles
should bring nothing but success,

While the Bangles were the best L:A.
based band of 1984, there were a number
of equally excellent runners-up. Next on
my list would be the Grammy Award win;
ning Los Lobos. The variety: of styles they
exhibit on their Slash album How Will the
Wolf Survive puts them as a major band to
watch in the future. Ranging from hard-
driving guitar rock to rockabilly to 1940's
swing music, these boys from East L.A.
have made it big at WCDB and hopefully
elsewhere as well.

It’s hard to limit my list-of L.A. bands,
‘but with two other areas to cover I'll have
to cut it short. Before I do, though, I have
to mention some other bands who gained
prominence at WCDB in 1984, These in-
clude the Rain Parade and True West (ac-
tually from Sacramento). Both have grown
‘out of the California garage scene. With an
‘exquisitely unrefined guitar sound, True
West's 1984 album Drifters became quite
popular this past fall, Over the summer,
the Rain Parade’s dreamy-sounding EP, Ex.
plosions in the Glass Palace, established
them firmly as the kings of the Paisley
Underground. Both of these bands played
to packed houses at 288 Lark St. last
November,

o much for L.A. The next region to be
covered is Athens, Georgia. In the past few
years, this unlikely town has gained a pro-
minent position on the national music
scene, 1984 saw the release of REM’
cond album Reckoning. It became an im:

¢ and durable hit. One song. after
nother gained popularity through the spr:
ing, summer and autumn of 19
include "South Cehtral = Rain,”

just to name the ma

‘oning was an unbelievably good

follow-up to their critically acclaimed 1983

album,Murmur, and inthe years to come
REM will take a premier spot on the
American music forum.

‘Also from Athens comes Let's Active,
headed up by Mitch Easter, REM's ‘master-
mind producer. Let's Active actually had
two hits in 1984, First was their carry-over
EP from 1983 entitled Afoot, The autumn
of 1984 brought their first album Cypress.
Both works received enormous airplay at
WCDB and helped bring Athens to the
forefront of the music world: Mitch
Easter’s influence also extended to a
number of other Georgia bands which
debuted at WCDB in 1984, Amongst these
are Oh-OK and Buzz ot Delight. Look for
‘Athens to produce even more outstanding,
guitar music in 1985,

The last of my balkanized music regions
is that bastion of progressive guitar bands,
Boston. In 1984, Boston gave us albums by
the Del Fuegos, Salem 60, and the Lyres, as
well as two fantastic compilation albums
from Throbbing Lobster Records. All five
of these elicited excellent response from
both the WCDB disc jockeys and our
listeners. The raw, harsh guitar music of
the Del Fuegos graced the Capital District
in late November when they performed a
great local show. Their combination of
hard:rocking covers and refreshingly
original material certainly left a favorable
impression in my mind, Hopefully, we'll
all be hearing more from the Del Fuegos

While this covers the three major music’
regions of 1984, two others deserve an
honorable mention. One, as many of you
might have guessed, is New. York City.
The City gave us both the Gun Club's
album, Las Vegas Story, and the Cheep:

level, the Cheepskates were probably my
favorite band of 1984, | discovered their

Luckily some of these bands succeeded
commercially in ‘84, not just in airplay but
in sales as well, The most successful of
these must be the Thompson Twins with
their album Into the Gap. The first single,
“Hold Me Now” released in. December
1983, was an instant hit on WCDB and by
the time Albany thawed out, "Hold Me
Now" was a national success. With an un-
precedented twelve (maybe) weeks on
Solid Gold the band released more singles
as the album made the top ten in the USA.

Another major success was Ireland's U2.
The beginning of 1984 saw Under a Blood
Red Sky, their live album, and in fate

“August they released The Unforgettable

Fire, The single, "In the Name of Love",
was an, instant play on many slations. 1

WPYX, WELY, and WGFM,

‘And how ean | forget Wham. Their new
album tells it all, Make it Big. prompted
success with "Wake Me Up Before You Go
Go" and currently "Careless Whisper”.

My choice for most smashing success of
1984 goes to Frankie Goes to Hollywood
With European success unseen since The
Beatles swept Europe over twenty years
ago, Frankie has just been clinging to
moderate US commercial success. Ah, but
the dancers and dance clubs love ‘em. Not
to mention the boutiques with Frankie T:
shirts, underwear, hair gel, and nipple
rings.

So much for commercial success in 1984,
What about the bands that blew away
WCDB and my ears last year?

Depeche Mode released two albums in
“4, The first was all previously released
material except the single and album title,
People are People. I's a pretty amazing
album compiling their best music from the
cighteen months prior to its release. The
beginning of November saw the US release
of their best album to date, Some Great
Reward, This band is syuthesizers at their
finest, giving a dance beat to many of their
songs yet becoming laid back electronical
ly.ona few. If you like Depeche Mode this
album is for you: if you don’t know them,
this is for you, too.

Probably the biggest hit on 91FM last
year was Echo and the Bunnymen, and
that’s not just in the European department
either, The 7 inch single ‘The Killing
Moon” was released at the time “Never
Stop” was gaining popularity in February.
They played a fantastic show in Schenec-
tady at the end of March with WCDB and
Union College, and in May appeared pro:
ably WCDB's album of the year Ocean
Rain, Continuing their Doors influence,
Echo topped the WCDB charts for months,
‘Nuff said,

The Smiths had three success singles and
one album and their latest." How Soon
Now?" is. currently receiving heavy
airplay... Meanwhile, Seritt Politi has had
three hit singles on 91FM. “Wood Bee

Absolute’, and "Hypnotize have be

The Human League and their counter-
part Heaven 17 each released another

be WCDB's most requested bands of 1984

XTC continues to hold their position as
the most underrated band of all time. They
released two alums in ‘84, Mummer and
The Big Express, the latter being one of the
best of the eight albums they have made.

best European of 1984. Paul Weller has
formed a band totally different from his
most popular endeavor, The Jam. The
Style Council's album My Everchanging
‘Moods contains a diverse selection of rock,
disco, dance, pop, and jazz music, The
great piano work by Mick Talbot assured
that this album was definately one of the
best of 1984

Cuomo hails student efforts to relieve famine

By Pam Schusterman
STAFE WRITER

‘An enthusiastic crowd filled the
Campus Center Assembly Hall
Thursday to watch Governor
Mario Cuomo sign. a proclama-

tion declaring February ‘‘African

Famine Relief Month,

The proclamation, signed in
conjunction with the group
Students Opposing Poverty
(STOP), is the launching of a
‘statewide effort to help the thirty-
five million. people in danger, of
starvation, in'.at least. eighteen
African countries.

“STOP is a group dedicated
toward easing suffering and
famine in Ethiopia,’ said
Madeline Cuomo, chair of the
group's Coordinating
‘Committee. *

The governor, in praise of
STOP's efforts and increasing i
iative said, ‘you are showing the
best that we strive for in this state
and Ij as governor, am extremely
proud. You have been given a
good clean opportunity to reach
‘out and you've done it here with
efficigncy and lack of
ambiguity." =

The: STOP committee is
reaching out with a series of
events planned for Hunger
Awareness. Week to be held
February 11-16. ‘In this week we
have activities. that will stress

rareness, involvement, and fun-
draising,"” said Michael Freed-
man, co-coordinator for the
statewide effort:

“The week will begin with a
speech, titled ‘The Famine Crisis
in Ethiopia,’ in-which Dr. Alam
Habtu will try to educate the
students on’what is really going

Also planned for the week, he
said, is a speaker co-sponsored by
STOP and’ JSC-Hillel on behalf
of Ethiopian Jewry, a combina-
tion’ STOP and Save-the Rat

“There is a genuine involve-
ment and an attitude that we on
the Albany campus do give a
damn,"’ Thomas said.

He explained that some of the
newly formed fraternities on cam-
pus, Kappa Sigma Alpha, Zeta
Beta Tau, Alpha Epsilon Pi, and

Staff departures inspired by early retirement

By David Wertheim
STAFP WRITER

SUNYA will be losing 52 employees,
mostly teaching faculty, to early retire-
ment beginning with the fall 1985
semester, The departures are attributed to
a retirement incentive bill that was signed
by Governor Cuomo last summer,

The bill provides an extra benefit for
eligible members of both the Teachers’
Retirement System (TRS) and the
Teachers’ Insurance and Annuity Associa.
tion (TIAA), New York State will con-
tribute a three year service credit for eligi-
ble teachers, for example, 25 years of ser-
vice translates into 28 years, for purposes
of formulating a pension.

‘The legislation is considerod corrective
in nature, according to Director of Person-
nal Leon Calhoun, Three years ago, retire-
ment ,incentives were offered to State
employees of the New York State Retire-
ment System. However, the Teachers’
Retirement System and TIAA were left
out. Last year, incentives were offered for

the first time for those previously not eligi-
ble. This year, 150: SUNYA employees
were eligible, and 52 accepted the offer.

Of the $2, 43 are involved with academic
disciplines, 41 are teaching faculty, some

1,000 years of ex-
perience. The question
is, can the loss be made
up by new people?”’

of whom will remain to teach on a part
time basis following their May retirement.

Hardest hit of alliis the School of
Business with seven retirements. Accor-
ding to Thomas C, Anderson, Director of
Fiscal and Administrative Services for the
department, the Business School will be
locking to replace the positions. ‘“Present-
ly we are in dialogue with Vice President
Ramaley about this, We have expressed a
desire to find qualified people, with an ac-
cent on minorities." Vice President for
Academic Affairs Judith Ramaley could
not be reached for comment

Budget Officer Gene Gilchrist said that
the early retirement losses will allow for

, flexibility in recruitment. He downplayed

any monetary considerations. ‘There will
be no dollar savings,” sald Gilchrist, “our
goal is greeter mobility in the work force,
including an increase in junior level
positions,””

Calhoun, however, disagreed. “The
whole point of the plan is to
said Calhoun, The $2 retiri
average $44,600 in annual salary, for a
total of $2,322,297, They have 1,104 com-
bined years of experience behind them, he
added.

He emphasized that of the over two

million dollars, the state will receive a cer-
tain percentage, and coupled with the im-
probability of filling all $2 staff positions,
with persons receiving similar salaries
money will be saved, ‘We'll feel the loss
of 1,000 years of experience, The question
is, can the-loss be made up by new peo-
ple,"” suid Calhoun.

To qualify for early retirement benefits,
employes must be at least 55_years old,
have at least 22 years of experience, and
have set their retirement date for between
June 1 and September 1, 1985,

Students should find it easier to
return texts to Barnes and Noble, and
get more money for the books under an
agreement worked out with the store's
management and student leaders, accor-
ding to Student Community Committee
chair Rich Dalton.

“Dalton, speaking at Wednesday
night’s Central Council meeting, said
that the bookstore agreed to add extra
staff to buyback lines and to provide ex-
tra days for students to receive half price

surveys, Dalton said, The poll was con-
ducted by the Student Action and Stu-
dent Community Committees last week.

Steve Gawley, Student Action Com-
mittee chair, cited student activist
techniques as an influential factor.
“There were some real solid activist
techniques employed — even the threat
of student activism helped us reach our
goal,’” he said,

Gawley added that a possible protest
aimed at the bookstore “was a major
factor in prompting the bookstore into
complying with our demands."*

Dina Roman, assistant manager of
the bookstore, said that she thinks the
changes are very reasonable. ‘We will
do anything that we can to make it bet-
ter for the students,” Roman said, ad~
ding, “it was good that students did the
survey and told us the result

“The bookstore was very responsive
to our needs," Gawley noted.

Nevertheless, an Oversight sub-
Committee will be formed, according to
Gawiley, ‘to oversee and to ensure that
the promises of the bookstore manage-
‘ment are in fact completed."”
