‘The walls have come crumbling down. Coach Jim Ser-
balik’s Albany State women's tennis program has fallen
on hard times, Once a young eager team of great depth,
they now have trouble fielding the minimum number of
players. Three crucial injuries only begin to tell the story
which includes players lost to academics, and r
committments. Though valiantly trying to fight back
against the elements, the Danes have now dropped five
matches in a row.
‘The trouble began with St. Lawrence early in October.
Only able to field five of his players, Coach Serbalik
scrapped for a makeshift lineup that had his players play-
ing as high as three levels over their normal capability.
Gerri Chiodo played an excellent game before falling to
Chris Lukelo in three sets (6-4, 7-6, 7-5). Ellen Yun fell
quietly to Chris O' dy 6-0, 6-0 while Nancy Forbes and
Nina Cheung were stopped by Sally Rielle (6-1, 6-4) and
Shelly Sherman (6-3, 6-3), respectively. Jenny Bahroni,
forced into action, fell to Ashley Hafferaffen, 6-1, 6-1 for
a stunning St. Lawrence singles sweep.
In doubles pl Sue Fairbanks and Val Kelleher beat a
worn out Chiodo-
and Mimi Kable easily handled a duo of Farbes and
Cheung, 6-1, 6-2 to give St. Lawrence a 7-0 .
“A very good team,” smiled Serbalik, “but we were
lucky we were allowed to play with only five players.””
The Danes moved on to Potsdam and really held their
own before being edged out 4-3 in a super match,Chiodo
continued to surprise everyone with a stunning three-set
victory after losing the first set, C-6. She battled back to @
0-6, 6-4, 6-1 impressive victory over Tricia Larsen. Con-
sistent Yun fought hard before losing a three-set match
(6-2,.2-6, 7-5) to Diane, Moses,
“Her experience is paying off. She can't beat you, but
she can make you beat yourself,"" said Serbalik.
Forbes and Cheung continued to falter as both were
beaten. Ester Harris wiped out Forbes (6-3, 6-0) while
Colleen Kennedy took Cheung (6-1, 6-2). Bahroni match-
ed her first singles victory, in a three sct marathon, over
Vicki Denny by a score of 2-6, 6-2, 6-4.
‘The Dane doubles fared no better as Chiodo and
Forbes lost to Larsen and Moses, 6-4, 6-0, and the Yun-
Cheung duo fell to Harris and Denny, 6-4, 6-2.
Serbalik’s squad made another impressive showing at
RPI despite being edged, 5-4, The Dane attack was led by
number one singles Deb Leffe as she handled Laura Com-
6-2, 6-4, Lisa Valins played superbly and took Liz
three sets (4-6, 6-4, 6-4). In what her coach called
**the best match of her career,"’ a resilient Nina Cheung
fought to a three-set win over Patti Williamson 6-3, 3-6,
6-1. The RPI singles attack was led by Karen Patkin who
beat the improving Chiodo, 6-3, 6-2. Beena Anu took
Yun, 6-2, 7-6 while Denise Van Wagener edged Forbes,
6-3, 6-4
The Dane doubles ns jumped out early as Leffe and
Chiodo romped over Comstock and Patkis, 6-2, 6-4.
However, RPI's Anu and Williamson edged Yun and
Cheung, 6-3, 5:7, 7-5 and frosh Beck Okomodro and
Hallenbeck took Forbes and Valins, 6-4, 6-3 to
Dane victory,
“This was definitely our best match of the year and it
was all riding on one set, Unfortunately, they came up
with it,”” said Serbalik disappointingly
Skidmore and Binghamton were next and no victories
were in sight against these two perennial powerhouses.

© Miguel Barnet, s Cuban novelist and
supporter of the Castro government, will
lecture and read from his work on
1 Wednesday, October 24, in a visit to
SUNYA sponsored by the recently
established New York State Writers
> Institute.
Barnet’s lecture, scheduled for 8 p.m. in
Recital Hall, is titled “Evolution of a Peo-
ple’s Culture in Revolutionary Cuba
free and open to the public. Earlier on
Wednesday, the Cuban author will con-
duct a writing seminar for students at the
university,
The Barnet lecture is the first segment of
the Institute's ‘Cuban Dialogue," a series
of visits by noted Cuban writers of various
political stances.

later, some of whom are in exile and are in
‘opposition to the government, We'll have
the whole spectrum,” said Tom Smith,
associate director of the Writer’s Institute.
Plans for. the other segments are being
finalized, Smith said.
Barnet has published five novels, three
volumes of poetry and a collection of
essays in Spanish. His most widely read
work, Autobiography of a Runaway is the
best selling novel in Cuba, since the Castro
Revolution, and has been translated into
12 languages including English. It
documents a century of Cuban life
through the eyes of a 10-year-old farmer
slaye, and like his other fiction, draws on
the oral folklore tradition of Cuba.
Barnet is best-known for his “‘novela-
testimonia,”” or the documentary novel,
work in Cuba. These novels have been call-
ed “first-person sociology,” as they
chronicle patterns of human behavior and
cultural change based on interviews with
individuals who serve as models for fic-
tional characters.
Barnet won The Casa de las Americanas
poetry prize for his collection, La Segr
Familia (The Holy Family).
In 1983, Barnet became the first Cuban
since the Castro Revolution to win a Gug-
genheim Foundation Grant.
The Writer's Imstitute, which was en-
dowed by the State Legislature this year,

that 40 percent of 12-year-olds drink occa-
sionally and that 2 percent are heavy

In addition, 10 percent of the students

(AP) The secretary-general of NATO said

“A policy of no first use of nuclear

the moral point of view,"” said Lord Carr-
ington of Britain, who took over as
secretary-general of the North Atlantic
“And it also has the merit of protecting
us against nuclear blackmail by preserving

disadvantage, which to my mind is an
overwhelming one, is that it weakens the

SUNYA gets record $20M for research projects’
By Beth Finneran
‘A record $20,264,653 in grants
and external funding for research
was given to SUNYA last year,
accrding to coordinator of Spon-
sored Programs, Frank DiSanto.
Several departments each at-
tracted over one million dollars in
outside funding, including the
biology, chemistry, and
psychology departments.
The Atmospheric Sciences
Research Center, the Center for
Women in Government, and the
Rockefeller College of Public Af-
fairs and Policy also garnered
cover one million dollars. DiSanto
said this represented substantial
increases from 1983.
Much of the funding was sup-
plied by state agencies, industry,
and private foundations. SUNYA
was the third highest recipient of
outside funding in the SUNY
system, behind only Stony Brook
and Buffalo, DiSanto said.
The rise in funding, a 21 per-
cent increase over 1983, is im-
pressive, he said, because most
grants are reserved for health and
engineering programs, which are
not available at SUNYA.
DiSanto also said that the in-
crease demonstrates the ‘‘conti-
nuing strength” of SUNYA's
research departments, bécaue the
departments faced stiffer com-
petition for external dotiars due
to decreases in federal aid.
In 1973, DiSanta said, the cam-
pus received eight (o ten million
dollars in research funding, The
fact that this has doubled in ten
years is partly the result of ‘the
university's efforts to bring to the
campus faculty members that are
not only excellent teachers but
who have excellent research
capabilities,”” DiSanto said.
It’s not just one or two new
large grants,"’ DiSanto said, ‘*but
continued research by quality
faculty members from many
disciplines that has sustained this
growth in external funding,”

SUNYA students will soon be able to
lobby for a federal bill that would prohibit
private schools receiving federal student
aid from discriminating against minorities.
A lobbying campaign supporting the bill
is being planned by the SUNYA Chapter
of United States Student Association.
The bill, titled the 1984 Civil Rights Bill,
seeks to close a loophole in the 1964 Civil
Rights Act which allows private schools
receiving federal student aid funds to

USSA delegate Eric Bowman
He says the bill is “necessary."
for private colleges to discriminate in any
way against minorities if the school receiv-
ed federal financial aid
Bowman said the bill was necessary
because of the recent Supreme Court
decision,
‘According to Bowman, the primary op-
ponents to the bill were Senate Majority
Leader Howard Baker (R-TN), and
Senator Orrin Hatch, (R-UT).
Baker “washed his hands’ of the bill
and prevented it from reaching the Senate
floor until the end of the last session,
Bowman charged.
When it did reach the floor, the bill was
tagged on to an emergency appropriations
resolution that the government needed to
continue operating, The civil rights bill
was withdrawn, after much controversy, in
order ensure passage of the appropriations
resolution, It was then tabled,
USSA chapters across the country have
been carrying out letter writing campaigns
against Baker since early September, in an
effort to get him to bring the bill to a vote,
Bowman said.
Ross Abelow, also a newly elected
USSA delegate, explained that "“USSA has
paid lobbyists in Washington, D.C. who
are in touch with all the Senators.”
Abelow said the letter writing campaign
would be continued until Congress meets
again in January,
Efforts to raise campus awareness will
also be made, Bowman said, explaining. ,
that "most students are unaware of the
Civil Rights Act and what it entails.”
“If a few key Senators change hr
minds, the bill will be passed," said

‘The next U.S. president may also effect

there is a great deal of interaction between

“President Reagan has shown he is
against the bill. He hasn't called any
Senators seeking their support for the
bill,"” Sampson maintained.
Bowman agreed, saying that where
Presidents Carter and Ford lobbied for
changes in the Civil Rights Act to protect
against a decision like Grove City College,
Reagan has lobbied in support of the
Grove City College limitations,
“They (Hatch and Baker) didn’t want it
voted on before the (presidential) elec-
tion," said Bowman, adding that ‘they
didn’t want it to seem that the Republicans
had opposed it,"”

‘84 State Sen
TIONS
Howard Nolan
By James O'Sullivan
‘ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
Demonstrating a split record on
common student concerns, State
Senator Howard Nolan, currently
running for re-election in Albany
County, said he voted for abilllast
year to kill SUNY tuition hikes,
‘but he will actively work towards
a 21-year-old drinking age.
In an interview last Thursday in
WCDB.91 FM's studio, Nolan
explained why he co-sponsored a
Senate bill to raise the legal drink-
ing age from 19 to 21.
Calling the statistics ‘‘stagger-
ing," he said that if the problem
of drunk drivers is to be solved,
young people must lose the right
to drink, But Nolan also said he
sympathized with those who
would be affected adversely if the
drinking age went up. “Unfor-
tunately a lot of people have to
pay for the sins of a few," he
said.
Nolan said the issue was often
raised at home by his seven
children, aged 16 to 23. He said
he agreed with their arguments
that not all 19 and 20 year olds
abuse alcohol, but, he said, "“Un-
fortunately in our .society you
have to make laws for the better
of everybody and I know any law
you pass there are some groups
within society that maybe are un-
justly affected by it
In addition to sponsoring
pro-21 legislation, Nolan said that
he would work to repeal the man-
datory seat belt law which New
York State Governor Cuomo
igned this summer. He also said
he expects that the 21 drinking
age will pass this year, especially
with the possibility the state will
be denied federal highway funds
if the drinking age stays at 19,
Nolan, a ten year veteran of the
Senate who graduated from
Albany Law School in 1957, said
he voted in favor of a bill that
stopped proposed SUNY tuition
increases last year, and that he
supported the TAP increases as
Joseph C. Frangella
By lan Clements
STAFF Wi
The Republican state senatorial
candidate for Albany County,
Joseph C. Frangella, said in an in-
terview Monday that he opposes
SUNY tuition increases, but fail-
ed to reveal what measures he
supports to avert such increases.
During the interview, which
was conducted in a haircutter's
shop on Central Ave.,Frangella,
who is trying to unseat the 10 year
Democratic incumbent, Howard
C. Nolan, cited the efforts of
Republican senators to prevent
cuts in TAP, but did not state his
‘own position on changes in TAP
benefits.
He said he favored, but did not
ive specifics about, state aid for
higher education, ‘I'm for easing
the burden on students and
students’ parents so they can have
college education,” he said. He
also said he can “relate"* to finan-
cial problems students and th
parents face because he sent his
children to college.
Frangella was emphatic in his
support for maintaining the 19
year old drinking age. “If you
raise the drinking age, you're go-
ing to drive drinking
underground," he claimed, He
said he wouldn't support a law
“that my own kids wouldn't
obey.
He said he would not favor a
legislative mandate to move
SUNY's sports programs to Divi-
sion I or to impose an administra-
tion rather than student controll-
ed athletic fee, Last month the
SUNY Board of Trustees rejected
both proposals. Members of the
Student Association of the State~
University (SASU) had opposed
the proposals,
“1 would respect the wishes of
the SUNY Board and the
students,"* said Frangella, “Why
should the Legislature or anybody
else force them to do something
they don't feel is in their best in-
terest]"" he asked,
He said he supports the Equal
Rights Amendment as long as
there are no provisions within
such legislation that would permit
well, He called education the
most important government
function.
“We have to do as much as
possible (o increase student
assistance,” he said, but admited
he did not know where the extra
funding could be found, “The
ideal way is to fund the increased
costs through revenue attained in
the general budget, in other words
the tax revenues that we receive as
a result of the myriad of taxes we
have in this state,” Nolan
explained.
The senator rejected any fur-
ther taxes on industry to help sup-
port SUNY, “'I have a problem
with taxes as far as business is
concerned, not because of
business (pressures) but because
we have to compete with 49 other
states.""He said he believes New
York State's business taxes are
too high (o attract new industry,
“We've fallen behind a lot of
other states on that basis," he
added,
The fairest tax possible, Nolan
said, is the federal personal in-
come tax because people can’t
escape it by moving from state to
state.
Nolan said he supports a state

Frangella said he opposes
abortion.
If an ERA proposal included
funding for abortion, he said he
would amend it to eliminate such
funding. If his amendment was
not accepted, he would oppose
the ERA measure, he said,
Frangella opposes the state's
seat belt taw, because, he said, it’s
“an infringement of the rights of
choice.” The issue, he claimed,
was not between seat belis and
saving lives, but about the curtai
ment of individual
freedom Forcing drivers to wei

Victims of writers block, or students panicking about
term papers can find the help they need in SUNYA's
Writing Center.
Rather than proofreading and correcting grammar, the
Writing Center, located in Humanities 140, tries to help
students by focusing on what they do when they write.
“Four things that we focus on when a student come:
with a paper,"" said staff member Meg Seckendorf, ‘ti
the message, or what the student is trying to say; the pur-
pose, or why are they writing this; the audience, or who is
the student writing to; and their persona, or who is the
student trying to be in the piece and how are they presen-
ting themselves."”
According to Seckendorf “You learn a lot more this
way rather than by handing in a product and having so-
meone correct it."* Seckendorf said she has been helping
students with their writing for 3 years.
Not only does the Writing Center help people with
papers or essays, but also with applications to law school,
medical school, and resumes, Seckendorf said. The
Center has a high percentage of returning students, she
said, noting that some students come back at least three
times, at each stage of a paper. The Center also works
with a lot of graduate students, Seckendorf said.
“We want to make better writers, not better writing,”
said Seckendorf. She said she would rather do this than
teach a course.
department, is a free service to the entire SUNYA com-
Assistant Director Gerry DiCarlo said, ‘*Ut's fun, tutors,
just want to have fun, It's really interesting because we
deal with so many different people and they have di
ferent writing styles."" Center Director Steve North said
he brings in his own papers to talk about with other
people.
“We are a good humored bunch," reported DiCarlo
‘The Writing Center itself has no funding, but the staff
is paid by the English department, according to North,
who said that the department has always supported the
Writing Center.
All those who advise in the Center work 11 hours a
week and "make the equivalent of what a part-time per-
son makes for teaching one course," according to
Seckendorf,
Due to the tightness of the University budget the
English department has not been able to provide com-
pletely sufficient funding to the Center, North said, ad-
ding that as a result, staff has been cut back.For the past
three years the staff has consisted of both undergraduates,
and graduate students, but because of the cutbacks the
English department has not been able to rehire the
ndergraduates back,
North said he is pretty sure that the Center will receive
the funding to get the undergraduate assistants back in
future budgets,
‘The Writing Center, which is sponsored by the English
nunity, All grad, students on the staff are in the dovtoral
program in English with the exception of one graduate
student who is a doctoral candidate in Humanities, Norttt
said he himself has taught just about everything in the
English department.
Last year, according to DiCarlo, the center handled
1400 tutorials. ‘It was the most successful year we've
had," he said,

said one of three SUNYA resear-

It’s all part of the growing wave

population, according to SUNYA.
Professor Donald Newman.
Mr. Newman, who recently co-
authored Elderly Crimes with
SUNYA Professor Evelyn

said the book was written to call
attention to the unusual problem
of crimes committed by older
people, and to point out the need
for more research on the subject.

However, he said, the elderly
are often afraid of the younger
criminals.
Mr. Newman sald. special pro-
gramming for elderly criminals
may be a solution to some pro-
blems. One suggestion he noted
involved an elderly justice system,
similar to the juvenile justice
system, where the court could
“act in the best interests” of the
accused.
However, he pointed out that
the elderly criminals themselves
do not want a separate system.
Many elderly do not want to be
considered as teenagers are, he
said,
According to Mrs, Newman,
most elderly people remain law-
abiding citizens, “We don't want
to make the claim,’’ she
said,"‘that all elderly are going to
a no-good end."”
Mr, Newman said that there is
an increase in the elderly popula-
tion which will partly explain a
probable increase in elderly crime
in the future.
According to Mrs. Newman,
ro- the whole criminal justice system
will have to begin to consider
elderly criminals, She said that,
regardless of the statistics, elderly
crime is ‘‘a phenomenon that we
as’ a sociely ought to unders-
tand.”” a

“The reasons for a Graduate Student
Employees Union (GSEU) for Graduate
Assistants, Teaching Assistants and
Research Assistants sound fine, but I don't
want it to come between me and my
professor.”
The reasons and rhetoric for unions
should be translated into
everyday situations in The
order to access their
benefits. Will the seu Graduate
members suffer because
the Union will interfere Advocate
in the student/mentor
relationship? No. The GSEU will not play
a scholastic role in the member's academic
degree program, In fact, the GSEU's goal
is to make the scholar/mentor relationship
more comfortable.
The GSEU wants to raise the economic
standing of all GA/TA/RAs to the point
where their livelihood and family financial
obligations do not interfere with their
academic success. Graduate employees
should have a reasonable salary (0 support

thedules. Instead of com
tract the best students with a recruiting
package that-could compete with its na-
tional peer institutions.
Currently chairpersons are frustrated
over their inability to acquire these
benefits for graduate employces. Their
demands are smothered under layers of
bureaucracy within schools, then with
SUNYA, then in SUNY/Central and then
the state itself. The GSEU, on the other
hand, knows its 4,500 members will have a
better chance at these goals when we
directly bargain with SUNY/Central and
the Office of Employee Relations.
What if an individual professor dislikes
unions? If a professor would propose
obstacles to any of us trying to better our
standard of living through our own
efforts--then we really need a union, If a

Furthermore, some of the primary goals

I try to watch life in a second, but then
there's more, another street, bombed out

a man | never knew, so white and sad.
He's suffered all summer. He tried to kill

“"What happened to him?” She touches
her hand to my finger, and | pause and
ook up from my lap to her wide eyes
listening with the afternoon sunshine,
and | swallow some air,
“It’s been a long time coming, I guess.
My father’s always been a loner. I
thought he preferred it that way,
brooding on his own, alone. He had it
kind of tough from the start, When he
was ten he escaped from the Nazis in
Germany. He made it to Switzerland and
then to England where he became a
refugee on a ship to Cuba in an immigra-
tion camp till he could finally enter the
US. He met my mother in the slums of
lower Manhattan. They got married and
had me and my brother. But ten years
later my mother couldn't take it
anymore, so she took us and left him
alone in that apartment, My mother
wasn't like him. While raising us she
went to school and got a job. We made
it on our own. First we lived in a one
bedroom roach infested apartment, then
my mother bought a house, then a car,
and then she started us both in school.
My father stayed the same, though. He
worked in the city and came home to his
rooms, fell asleep in front of the T.V,,
and went to work the next day. We used
to visit him every Friday,’ but then | went
‘away and my brother did too, He never
really had company after that. He hada
heart condition; he started to complain fo
stress form his job. He took sick leave for
a month. They didn’t fire him, he quit.
He couldn't leave his house without
breaking out in a cold sweat and his
heart was failing him. He loaded up on
heart pills and became a hermit.
‘Another train’ whirls past. It startles
‘me, but she catches my hand.
“Lcalled him up on his birthday. He
told me everything, frantically. He was
desparate. He heard noises from the peo-
ple downstairs. They followed his
footsteps and banged on the floor. They
banged at 11:00 at night to tell him to go
to bed. Then they banged when he was
asleep to wake him up. They flushed the
toilet when he passed the bathroom.
They rang the phone then stopped. He
heard them laugh from below. He
lumbered around this hollow apartment
imagining sounds, he never slept. When
he collected the sail in the lobby each
day he saw people turn away, make
faces. He saw the shadows of their feet
behind each other along the long echoing,
hallway, He shut himself in his room,
begged for peace. Alll this he told me
‘And we were both in tears when he
wished he was a better father. Then he
tried to kill himself,”
She moves to the seat next to mine.
We watched Cleveland rise from the dus
ty Ohio fields, Isolated shacks populate
into neighborhoods and the locomotive
whistle bellows, A kid throws a’rock at
the train. It hits our window and we
cower into each other's arms. We open
our eyes and the train is still there, she is
“till there. The window still hangs. The
train clatters into the heart of throbbing
industrial Cleveland, It stops with a
steamy hiss and a few passengers ex-
change seats

night.”
The sun is setting directly in front of
the train, as we tear between Cleveland
and Toledo. We stretch our necks
together between bites of dinner to catch
its last glimpse. She was looking forward
to the stars that would soon emerge. She
takes her last bite and pushes her tray on
to the seat opposite her's.
“OK, tell me.”
“Well, | forgot most of my dream, but
there’s one part-1 remember, the ending.
We were in a taxi, me, my mother, and

me, the tracks rumble, the wooden ties
creak, the pressed earth mumbles, quiet-
ly, like a dead man being buried far
away.
We stare out at the black hills with the
white streetlight speckles and the stars
above in deep dark blue. I watch her face

The talented Constance Valis
Hill has pooled all of her artistic
tesources, her abundant knowledge of
dance, choreography and mime, to direct a
production that brings the vivid imagery of
Aeschylus’ Eumenides to life.
Mark Latino
Who needs a stage cluttered with
scenery? Oh, Robert J. Donnely, scenic
designer, placed a few nifty marble con-
structions here and there: a center stage
marble temple (where Apollo's. statue
stood),a pedestal behind it, and
steps,” Athena's porch,” in the far right cor
ner of the stage... quite a bit of empty stage
space. The real scenery (the images that
fill in” these empty spaces) that Aeschylus’
dialogue was meant to evoke was to be
created within the miinds of his stimulated
audience, In order to make this task poss
ble, several combined elements effectively
served to arouse the audience's
imagination
Enter the chorus...wow! Their contorted
movements underlined their every emo:
tional word and created imageries so
idcous and captivating that one would
gaze at them with a sense of wonderment.
The spirits, personifications of vengeful
anger, fear, pain, and grief, became real
in effect, pathetic, piteous, and
frightening. How could the audience
watch these tortured daughters of the night
drag themselves across the Acropolis’
ground (as Valis-Hill characterized, “angry
snakes”) and remember that these were, in
reality, athletic, well-trained actresses? At
this point in the play one might hve easily
forgotten the fact that the Eumenides was

Give each one out to someone, friend or foe, who

“The Minority Student Challenge’? printed in the
September 1984 issue of Black Issues in Higher
Education.

After lamenting the fact that “Blacks, Hispanics and
Native Americans make up 19 percent of the U.S. popul

Rockefeller Foundation, the disciplines in which the four
minorities (Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Native

3, ceasing and desisting from constantly counseling
minority students into traditionally vocational and trade
areas (as if Booker T. Washington had returned to
Tuskeegee),
Over the years, the question has not been what
remedies should be applied but rather who should carry
them out, Clearly the educators the policymakers that
Chancellor Wharton is. referring to have not
demonstrated any willingness to change the status quo in
the majority of predominantly white schools. Professors,
administrators and counselors, mostly white, have a
ly contributed towards turning minority students away
from graduate studies, professional programs and the
seiences and technology. Thus, it seems, to ensure the
Promulgation of the suggestions made above, the com-
plexion of those in charge, must of necessity, change.
The bizarre statistics are there for anyone to see. The
most telling obstacles to equitable participation of
African-Amerigans in post-secondary education are:
— Disparity in Financial Aid — As competition for
public and private fellowships, traineeships, scholarships
and grants grows more fierce, African-Americans and
other minorities find less success than others in securing
rather diminishing aid dollars.
— Barriers to Access — Minority opportunities for
graduate and professional study are affected by, among
others, higher dropout rate in elementary and secondary
schools, negative counseling and tracking of minority
high school students, racist stereotyping of students by
faculty and administrators, high attrition rate at the
undergraduate level, biased/exclusivist. admission
practices,
Professional Underrepresentation — The number of
minority students who enrolled in predominantly white
campuses increased in the 1960's. What failed to keep
Pace with this surge was the number of minority facul
administrators and staff. This component is necessary tv

Academic freedom
To the Editor:
On October 10, 1984, The University News published
an article entitled “Drop/add Rule Altered". It is my
feeling that this article contained a number of points
which should be brought to the attention of the SUNYA
community.
In the article, Dr. Hamilton cited the infamous “W"" as
a method of preventing students from signing up for a
course with no intention of completing it. Granted, this is
something which the ““W” shall accomplish, but in the
wrong way and for all the wrong reasons,
Dean Hamilton obviously feels that no student should
be able to attend classes they do not intend to complete.
There is a word to describe what you say would give a stu-
dent ‘‘an advantage over everyone clse in the class." It is
an audit.
According to p.115 of Undergraduate Academic Policy
Manual an informal auditor is defined as a visitor to a
course without tuition, fees, examinations, grading or
credit. Most importantly, it goes on to add that no record
ismaintained. Technically, the most a student would need
is the permission of the instructor.
If the University wants to eliminate any possible “un-
fair advantage’’, we should work on audit policy, not just
“W" grading. Secondly, the article speaks of students
“shopping around” for ‘‘easy"" classes, and withdrawing
if it doesn’t meet their expectations. In this case only the
terminology is accurate, Students are paying over
$1500.00 for tuition alone. You can bet they are going to
shop for classes carefully. When you buy a product from
a door-to-door salesperson you are entitled to 14 days to
return it. “W" policy gives students only 10 days to
return an errantly chosen class. Are we putting vacuum
cleaners over education?
The article also stresses the point of shopping for an
“easy"” class. Granted, this may be the case with some
students, but the majority are shopping for more than
srades. They want subject matter they find interesting, an
acceptable degree of difficulty (neither too hard nor too
easy), and all the other things that differentiate one class
from another.
Since we have instilled General Education requirements
upon this campus we are in effect forcing students to ex-
plore fields that normally would get glossed over. Unless

we are going to be so vain as to say that our course
descriptions and advisors are perfect, we must allow what
Dean Hamilton so eloquently called “‘shopping’
If we implement a “no return’” policy upon registration
(as the “W"" would), we will wind up with people in
lasses they have no desire to attend. This is exactly the
Opposite of what any college should be fostering. It is
definitely not the policy that one of the premiere State
Universities in this country should be operating under.
I quote Programs and Priorities, a publication of the
President's office, ‘First, SUNY has a responsibility to
and foster selective excellence in all areas of cur-
rent strength."* Will we be fostering excellence by locking
people into classes which they desire to drop? This is the
effect a “W" will have,
There is no denying that a serious over-registration pro-
blem does exist on this campus, If each student is averag-
ing three courses per semester, obviously this problem
must be addressed. We must, however, remember (o not
cut off our noses to spite our faces, This is what the “W’"
grade is doing.
There should be two goals of any change in registration
policy. First, we must effectively limit the number of
classes a person can register for and not complete. This
will prevent people from being closed out of classes by
people who do not attend them. But, secondly, we must
preserve academic freedom, We must guarantee the right
of any student to explore new fields free from penalty.
Bearing in mind both those criteria, not just the first, a
total registration revision needs to be undertaken. In the
meantime we must not create an unbearable system and
mis-name it a stop-gag measure,

Free Cyprus
To the Editor:
October Ist 1960, On this date 24 years ago, the small
island of Cyprus became an independent .country.
Everybody was pleased on the island, both Greek and
Turkish Cypriots. No more British rule, the right of the
people to determine their fate had been established,
Only three years passed and the trouble started, Inter-
communal rivalry and hatred arose between the two na-
tional communities of Cyprus, Greeks and Turks.
Murders, air raids by the Turkish Air Force and partial
movement of the population, the first signs of separation.
The political machine of destruction would commence its
work. Ten years later in 1974 the final blow would come.
The Greek Junta would stage a coup against the
Democratic government of Cyprus and a week later
Turkey would invade the island, occupying 40 percent of
its territory, 200,000 Greek Cypriots would become
refugees in their own land, 1619 missing and thousands
killed, The situation is still the same.
Living in sorrow, the people of Cyprus are fighting for
existence, for them and their children, trying to persuade
an otherwise unyielding enemy, for a just and fair
solution. :
We, the Greek Cypriot students of this University, at
this time, turn our thoughts to the occupied part of our
country, the villages, the towns, the houses, remnants of
childhood memories, in remembrance of the tragedy,
and hope that Cyprus will be free and unified once more.
—Artemis L, Artemiou

Not always Pre-Med
To the Editor: ;
1 was absolutely appalled at the remark regarding
biology majors made by Marc Rosedwald, co-chair of the
Delta Sigma Pi Fraternity Career Day planning commit
tee. He said companies and organizations that are poten-
employers of biology majors would not be present at
Career Day because “all bio majors are pre-med
anyway.””
I think that Mr. Rosenwald may be making the false
assupmtion that every other major in this University is as
concerned with making money as are business majors.
Everyone knows medical doctors can make hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year, although I'd like to think
that is not their prime motivation for the job.
No, Mr. Rosenwald, all biology majors are not pre-
med; in fact, not most, not half, not even one-third of
them are, There are approximately 200-250 biology ma-
jors graduated from SUNYA every year. Fewer than 60
of the students who will graduate this May have applied
to medical school (and I apply that term loosely--it in-
cludes podiatry, medicine, dentistry and osteopathy)
this past year. It should also be noted that you need not
be a biology major to apply to medical school, But let us
just assume that 225 people will graduate with a major in
biology this year. And let us assume that $5 of them are
pre-med, That gives us less than one-quarter of all
biology majors--a far cry from “‘all'’ biology majors,
even if it was a figure of speech,
That leaves us with 170 students, Obviously, not all of
these students will go on to get jobs in their field, Some
have just used college as a four year crutch; other will be
getting M.S.’s and Ph.D.’
of these 170 students will be looking for jobs in thier
field. Thanks to the closed-mindedness of Mr. Rosen-
wald, and others like him who immediately assume
'M.D."* when one says ‘‘bio major,"* many students will
be denied access to information that will affect them for
the rest of their lives,
—Louls M. Miranda
Persecuted group
To the Editor:
False accusations, name calling, emotional tirades, If
interested simply get invloved in the ROTC issue here at
the University. : x
It all began a few weeks ago when Central Council
voted to deny ROTC tabling rights in the Campus Center
and the ASP ripped apart ROTC with a nastily worded
editorial, However, in the ensuing time period, the entire
issue has fallen prey to very low level in communication,
Suzy Auletta, S.A, Vice President would seem to be on
a crusade to ais in gay and lesbian rights, While she may
have this in mind, she has also shown that she is willing
to go to any length to rid this campus of ROTC, forget-
ting the Constitution of the United States and well man-
nered argument in the process. At the Central Council
meeting of October 3rd, in which ROTC appealed the
banning resolution, | was impressed by the Quality and
well mannered arguments put forth by those who were in
favor of denying ROTC tabling rights, Unfortunately,
when it came time for Miss Auletta to speak, the tone
quickly became insultive, and the argument irrational and
emotional, When informed that gay and lesbian students
could take ROTC classed, she shouted, “If you were
black, would you go to a Klu Klux Klan meeting just
because they stopped burning the cross!"”
Tresented being referred to in a such a manner, as did
my fellow ROTC students, We are not taught to hate gay
and lesbians, nor do we appreciate the inference in an
open forum that we are taught to be bigots by our
instructors.
Moreover, she also stated that “ROTC doesn't need
the Campus Center, they can use the bulletin boards or
mailers for solicitations."’ 1 suppose that in 1965 blacks
really didn’t need the front of the bus, since there was
plenty of room in the back,
The story continues. Two weeks ago a bill to eliminate
ROTC from campus was sent to a University Senate Sub-
comittee from S.A. Funny thing was it never passed
through either of the S.A, Senate liasons and nobody
seems to know why.
Then there is the ASP , Not satisfied with the editorial
of September 25, the editor printed another on October
19, stating ROTC contained many ‘evils’. Abuses, evils,
ignorant blind nationalists; the list of degrading words
about ROTC continues to spew forth from the pen of the
editor, To the editor | issue a challenge. Either put your
cards on the table and tell the University community what
the abuses and evils of ROTC are in specific det
stop whining about these mythical evils",
To close, ROTC students are like any others, We are
human beings trying to last another day at the University
We will not sit quietly while student officials sacrifice o
constitional rights (as evidenced by last weeks Supreme
Court hearing) in the name of student activism” and we
are tired of being derided and insulted, Finally, ROTC
does not need support from students who engage in call-
ing the gay and lesbian alliance “useless”? or any other
name, Any group who feel their constitional rights have
been violated should fight back, and be able to do so in an
environment free of bigotry and namecalling,

Lack of interest
To the Editor:
As Biology students we are distressed at the apparent
lack of interest on the'part of the faculty and staff as
evidenced by the total lack of participation by the Biology
Department in CU Day October 13, It is quite dishearten-
ing that many of the professors in the Biology Depart-
ment are so wrapped up in their own particular endeavors
that they are unwilling to work toward presenting to the
community a demonstration of the academic
achievernents occuring within their department,
It has come to our attention that the faculty and fun-
ding of the Biology Department has shown a steady ero-
sion over the years, Perhaps this trend could be reversed,
if the Biology Department staff were more enthusiastic
about the University as a whole.
It is quite disappointing and embarrassing to several of
us whose parents visited during Parents’ Weekend in that
we were not able to show them a demonstration of our
achievements or studies in Biology, when demonstrations
in other ateas of concentration were taking place in other
departments,

she said, noting however that,
“this takes time.”
While serving as acting presi-
dent, Ramaley is also expected to
continue her vice presidential
duties. “I have a talented, sup-
portive and dedicated staff that
helps me pay attention to details
in both offices,” she said.
Among the new areas she is
working on as acting president is
the University budget. Vice Presi-
dent for finance and business
John Hartigan praised Ramaley’s
“uncanny ability to take hold of
the workings’ and he added, “It’s
been an excellent experience
working with her."?
Ramaley said she is enjoying
the president's position, which,
she said allows her to see all parts
of the University working
together, in contrast to the vice
president's position which only
allows her to see one part of the
process.
Increased contact with
students, as well as parents and
community members, is another
aspect of the presidential position
that Ramaley said she is pleased
with. She said she is grateful for a
Central Council resolution which
sent its support and welcome to
her.
Ramaley said she is familiar
with the recent controversy in
Central Council over the appoint-
ment of two minority students.
She said that after the con-
troversy settled down, she saw
students make ‘a sincere and
honest attempt to look at what
happened and understand it."

people expressed opinions,

biology there.
She earned a doctoral degree in
anatomy at UCLA and received
her bachelors degre with honors
from Swarthmore College, where
she majored in zoology.
Sorrell Chesin, assistant vice
president for University Affairs,
commented on the University
Council's unanimous nomination
of Ramaley as acting president.
“It is a custom that the vice presi-

he said is considered the senior
vice president on most campuses,

the president's absence.”

ESS ()"FUESDA Y, OCTOBER 23, 1984
Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs
State University of New York at Albany
October 23, 1984
Dear Campus Citizen:
As many of you know, during the 1983-84 academic
year’ a committee consisting of faculty, professionals, and
students discussed and recommended campus policies on use
of alcohol. Having received the approval of campus
governance, the University Council and the President, the
University, on” September 1, 1984, implemented its first
campus-wide policy on alcohol.
The Statement of Policy which follows is in compliance
with city, county, state and federal regulations. It is
presented as one method to educate the campus community.
We seek your cooperation and compliance.
Thanks.

student opposition. The SUNY
Board of Trustees voted last
month, not to approve the stu-

Division I sports possible,
Since then, some legislative
leaders have said they would con-
‘sider passing a law overruling the
Board of Trustees, that would
allow certain schools, possibly in-
cluding SUNYA, to move from
their current Division III standing
to Division I.
“What I would like to do
would be to hold public hearings
around the state and listen par-
ticularly to the students-what is
their opinion?"’ Nolan said, ad-

interests in South Africa, a
measure strongly urged by stu-

Africa's alleged racist policies,
Nolan said, ‘I think that we've
really got to start putting the
economic screws to South Africa
in order to get them to get rid of
that policy of apartheid."
It is, “absolutely uncons-
cionable for a nation such as
South Africa to have a great ms-
Jority of its citizens treated dif-
ferently," he said, noting that
“obviously in this country we've

According to Bowman, all
Senators from the New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut areas

‘best cure for the Long Island
Lighting Company's financial
problems would be to open the
Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant,
which has consistently gone over

rejected the possibility of govern-
ment subsidies to help hold dows down
electric rates on Long Island, and
in the Albany area which is served
by Niagara-Mohawk. ‘‘Unfor-
tunately some of them (electric
companies) are poorly managed
and I think that for state tax

Final debate
<Front Page
Mondale argued during the
debate that he remains committed
toa strong defense and a military
budget “‘which would increase
our nation’s strength by - in real
terms - by double that of the
Soviet Union.””
But he acknowledged that he
has opposed the B-1 long-range
bomber, saying, “for 15 years the
Soviet Union has been preparing
to meet the B-I. The secretary of
defense himself said it would be a
suicide mission if it were built."”
Reagan said, ‘It’s always been
easy to argue for reductions in
defense spending, just as it's easy
to pretend that one can call the
Soviets leaders, as myopponent
has proposed, and persuade them
in a minute to alter the course
they have followed for decades."”
On the issue of nuclear arms,
Mondale said he supported a
mutual and verifiable nuclear
freeze, “because this ever-rising
arms race madness makes both
nations less secure, it is putting a
hair trigger on the nuclear war.
This Administration, by going in-
to the Star Wars system, is going
to add a dangerous new
escalation.””
President Reagan attacked this
by saying it is ‘far more
humanitarian to say that now we
can defend against a nuclear war
by destroying missiles instead of
slaughtering millions of people.”
He also said he is willing to
share this technology with the
Soviet Union so they can sit down
and discuss how to get rid of all
nuclear weapons. The President
also accused the Carter Ad-
ministration of unilaterally disar-
ming which Mondale did not
refute, but instead said there
would be no unilateral disarma-
ment during his administration.
On the issue of Lebanon,
Reagan said the peacekeepers
withdrew because they were not
able to complete the mission they
were sent to do.
But Mondale charged that the
administration had reports prior
to the attack on the Marine bar:
racks that claimed 241 U.S. lives.
In the closing statements, Mon-
dale stressed domestic issues from
the previous debate, th esyrength
of the United States, and the
possibility of nuclear war. “It's
time for America to find new
leadership,"” he declared.
Reagan, in his closing state-
ment, said, ‘4 think the American
people tonight have much to be
grateful for: an economic
recovery that has become expan-
sion, freedom, and most of all,
we are at peace.

Danes’ party. a
‘The Albany defense had done a perfect
job‘up until then, completely’ halting the
Cadet’s feared offense, The first five Nor-
wich drives concluded on punts.
‘On their sixth drive, Norwich started at
the Albany 33 following a Russell fumble,
The Cadets failed to score on that drive
because of a Valentino interception, which
pinned Albany deep in their own territory.
Falling to move the ball, Mark Pier-
simoni punted 31 yards to the Albany 48
where Norwich would begin their scoring
drive.
Five running plays placed the ball on the
21, where tailback Bruce Johnson, who
gathered 111 yards on the day, broke loose
for a 20-yard pickup to the I-yard line. On
the next play, fullback Jim Ear! banged in-
to the endzone with just 48 seconds show-
‘ing ae half clock.
Everyone was in agreement that Nor-
wich’s late score proved to be the turning
point in the game,
“It definitely helped us,
coach Barry Mynter. /‘It gave us con-
fidence that we could move the ball.”
“Anytime you let the opposition score
late in the half its got to help the other
team," said Coach Zaloom, ‘(I don’t think
‘we fost any monientum, the other guys just
gained some.’”
In the second half, Norwich cut the
margin to 17-14 following the recovery of
a Soldini fumble at the Albany-21. But
controversy marred that score.
‘On third and six from the seven-yard
line, quarterback Mike Gallagher threw a
sideline pass to his favorite receiver Beau
‘Almodobar, Almodobar was hit by safety
Wayne Anderson at approximately the
same time the ball arrived in the receivers
chest. The collision jarred the ball loose
and the referee called pass interference.

all day. ‘The only reason the ball popped
loose is because I hit him.”
The go-ahead score came on an 80-yard
drive, climaxed by an ingenious play called
by coach Mynter, On third and inches at

action pass that was caught by Jack
Cochran, left completely free by the baffl-

pass at the fifteen and could've walked it
into the endzone untouched.
“It was a free down,” explained
Mynter. “We knew our fullback (Earl)

Booters’ winless run hits eight after Vassar loss
By Dean Chang
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Last weekend’s performance against
highly-regarded Oneonta State would lead
you to believe that Albarty State's men’s
soccer team was ready to break out of its
seven-game winless streak against Vassar
on Tuesday. Unfortunately for the Danes,
logic seldom prevails for a losing team.
Against Binghamton and Oneonta,
Albany finally gave back-to-back solid ef-
forts. Despite losing both games, the
Danes showed that they were a team to be
reckoned with. Practices this week have
been crisp and efficient, and the players
were thinking that they could beat Vassar,
the 10th-ranked team in the state in Divi-
sion III. Given these facts, guess who lost
to Vassar, 2-17
“I thought we had it licked,"’ said
Albany Head Coach Bill Schieffelin. ‘We
played well in practice but we reverted (0
playing down to their level. This week has
been indicative of the season we've been
having. We're not very productive against
weaker teams."”
The question is why; why isn't Albany
beating teams they should be beating? It's
certainly not because of a lack of talent,
nor is it a lack of desire. These players
want to win more than anything, So what
is it?
“I don't know what goes on in those
kids’ heads," said Schieffelin. “They cer-
(ainly didn’t go in with the same attitude
they had against Oneonta. They have to
play with more motivation and intensity to
win.”*
Yet the Danes played well enough to
beat Vassar, dominating at both ends of
the field. What Albany lacks is a killer in-

All season long, the Albany State
women’s cross country team has been
competing admirably, surpassing almost
previous achievement of the teams
before them as well as every goal of their
coach, Unfortunately, the upward
momentum that had cha edie the
team up to this point took a downward sw-
stinct, according to Schieffelin.
Dominating is one thing, but putting the
ball into the net is another. Posts were hit,
balls were overrun, and saves were made,
If bad breaks are supposed to even out,
then Albany is due for an outpouring of
lucky breaks for their last three games,

Dane harriers regain SUNYAC title

Saturday, the Albany State men’s cross-
country team dramatically unseated the
Fredonia State dynasty from the SUNYAC.
‘throne as the Danes put all five scoring
runners in the top fifteen places to win the
SUNY cross-country title and bring the
Blue Devils six-year domination of the
conference to a very abrupt end.
Albany placed six runners in front of
Fredonia’s fifth man to outscore the Blue
Devils 47 to 53, while Cortland actually
had the tightest pack of runners, all five
between 13th and 22nd, which earned
them third’ place overall, SUNY-Buffalo,
bolstered ‘by the transfer of four solid har-
riers, came out of nowhere to edge
Geneseo for fourth place, 140 to 146.
Dane Jim Erwin led the race for most of
the first mile setting a fast pace. Ed McGill
then took the lead near the two-mile mark
while the Danes had swarmed to the front
of the pack. Said Munsey, ‘That had to
shake them (Fredonia) up some. I told our
guys that I wanted them to go out very
hard and by the mile mark it was Albany,
Fredonia, and some scattered individuals,
None of our first six faded back. They
stayed right where they went out, Fredonia
had to run with us more than we had to
run with them,””
By the third mile McGill had slipped to
third as méet-winner Jeff Byrk of Buffalo
State opened up a big lead, Meanwhile the
‘back end of the Dane pack slowly picked
off Fredonia’s runners and opened up a
five-point lead,
‘McGill fed the Danes to the finish line by
finishing third overall (26:17) right bet-
ween Fredonia’s first man Michael
Gaughran (26:12), and their second, Art
McArthur (26:21). Albany’s number two
man, junior Ian Clements, finished

‘After all of the runners had come

‘cluster quietly while the scores were being
tabulated, Fredonia’s runners sat together,
exhausted and dimly aware that the im-
possible had happened. Then Albany
Head Coach R. Keith Munsey gave a shout
and skipped over to his team and the
Danes began jumping on top of each other
and shouting in celebration. “We wanted
this very. very badly," explained senior
captain Chris Callaci,
‘The exuberance of the celebration mat-
ched the team's nervousness the night
before. ‘We have nothing against

Parlato explained,‘‘but when one team

them." "We got a lot of support from

said, “‘s0 I told my boys, ‘Hey, the eyes of

tain Jim Erwin recalled, “Yeah, that wi

Sophomore Tim Hoff said, “We heard

‘Sasessing the meet in retrospect and his

real dogfight, a horse race. Was Fredonia
tougher than last year? Yes, they were ,

Norwich’s second half rally stuns Danes, 27-17
Dave Soldini ran ra ampant for 209 yards against Norwich Including a 91-yard scamper
rly in the first period,
By Marc Berman
SPORTS BDITOR
Northfield, VT
For more than 29 minutes of the
30-minute half, the Albany State defense
silenced the Norwich’s high-powered of-
fense along with their 75 millimeter
howitzer, which is traditionally shot off
after every Cadets touchdown.
But then, the Dane’s greatest adversary
this season, the turnover, started to play a
role in Saturday's game, which Albany
State eventually lost 28-17.
In all, there were four Albany misc
each one playing a part in Norwich’s stirr-
ing comeback, which saw them wipe out
17-0 Great Dane advantage.
‘And during this Norwich comeback, the
ancient cannon exploded four consecutive
times; once late in the first half and three
times in the second half, while Albany
State failed to retaliate with any firepower
.of thelr own,
“We feel crushed right now,” sald a
somber Dave Soldini, who had a spec-
tacular 209 yard rushing effort including a
91-yard touchdown gallop in the first
period. ‘It’s a tough loss to take,””
“The team let down a bit,” added
linebacker Jim Valentino, who sat
slumped in the front of his locker in the
depressing Dane's dressing room, “We
should've come after them in the second
half and killed them right there.””
If it weren't for the turnovers, Coach
Bob Ford felt his Danes just might have
done that those turnovers,"
said Ford is head, ‘‘we might've
blown them out.”
“It wasn’t the amount of turnovers,””
commented offensive line coach Ed
Zaloom, “It’s just that we turned the ball
over in such key situations.””
Albany's initial turnover helped in-
directly towards the Cadets crucial first
touchdown, which came late in the first
half, Their final three blunders came in the
second half—two leading to Cadet scores
while the third killed an Albany scoring
threat,
‘The Danes’ afternoon started off almost
as elegant as the scenery surrounding Nor-
thfield, Vermont's Sabine Field, Autumn-
colored mountain ranges framed the foot-
ball field and the persistent sun only added
to it’s beauty,
Beautiful was the only way to describe
the Danes’ second offensive play of the
‘game, Soldini bolted right on the veer and
was able to outsprint the Norwich secon-
dary for a 91-yard touchdown run.
Dave Lincoln booted a 43-yard field
goal on the next possession, which was aid-
ed by two 10-yard: gains by Soldini, who
compiled 154 yards by halftime.
The lead increased to 17-0 when the
Danes put together a flawless 10-play,

Buffalo students pull $4M from Marine Midland

Students split on quality of academic advisors

This is the first of two articles on the state of academic
advisement at SUNYA.
“Advisement! What's advisement?” senior Eric Dorf
demanded, at the mention of the word. On the eve of pre-
registraion for next semester, many students may be sear-
ching for: the answer to that question...or for their
advisors.
“The difficulty on this campus,"" accor-
ding to Robert Gibson, acting director of
the Center for Undergraduate Education
(CUB), “is that the students and staff do
not have a commonly agreed upon defini-
tion of what academic advisement is.""
‘Asa result of what Gibson called ‘mismatched expec-
tations,”” there is a gap in the advisement process.
Debi Greenwald, now a junior in the School of
News

Business, explained how the gap affected her. ‘At first 1
expected them to take care of everything,” she
plaining that her expectations have been modified since
then, And now, upon looking back, she said, “If 1 would

One sophomore said, ‘I expect information to be of-
fered to me." Describing her unhappiness with her CUE
adyisor, she said, “I had to pull everything out of her."
Gibson said “ihe advisors depend on the students to
raise specific questions."
First year student Gail Crawford praised the advise-
ment process. “My advisor gave me suggestions on
courses and professors. She also made suggestions about
career and long-term goals."”
Crawford summed up the session saying, “She

Vandalism in student dorms is increasing at

maintained, ‘thave. adopted a laissez-faire attitude

Much of the vandalism, said Stevens, has been
