SUNYA students are leading a push to repeal Albany
alternate-side-of-the-street parking regulations because,
they say, the rule forces women into unsafe situations.

The current alternate parking law is in effect at least
two nights a week, depending on the neighborhood, from
midnight to eight a.m. According to Albany Director of
Traffic Safety Robert Coleman, the reason for this law is
so streets can be cleaned and plowed.

According to Student Association Vice President, Ross
Abelow, parking is already tight in the “student ghetto’’
area. ‘There is a lack of parking in most districts to begin
with when parking is permitted on both sides of the
street,"* he said, adding that when alternate side of the
street parking is in effect “there are very serious pro-
blems, especially when it is effective from 12 a.m. to 8
a.m, when most people are home."

“It is almost impossible to get a spot and some people
have to park six blocks away from their homes," he said,
explaining that people then have to walk home in the
dark.

Most students seem to want a change. Sharon Cassuto,
a senior at the University said that on alternate side of the
street parking days she often has to park in areas she
doesn’t believe are safe. “I live between Central and
Washington, There was a reported rape on West Street
and there is a large parking lot there where many people
hang-out. It is a three block walk from West Street to my
house and it’s just not safe to walk after 12 a.m,’

Approximately three weeks ago, Cassuto said she park-
ed in violation of the glternate parking law because she
could not-find-any-payking near her house and did not
‘want to park on West Street. That night, she said, shé was
ticketed: for parking on the illegal curbside. One week
later the same situation occured and Cassuto received a
second ticket. She wrote a letter to the judge after each in-
cident, claiming guilty with explanation, but Cassuto said
her letters have gone unanswered.

“It (West Street) is a bad, dark street. You have to
walk down, and a lot of people park on the illegal side
and just accept a ticket," said Casssuto, ‘It's just getting
more scary to walk around,” she added.

Although the alternate parking law has been in effect
near Alumni Quad for many years, only one other ward
showed a desire to change it. Abelow said the reason for
this is simply that, ‘No one thought to change it.””

‘The 6th ward is the only district that has been able to

change the alternate parking law. According to Nancy
Berton, Alderwoman for the 6th ward, the law was
changed to restrict parking ‘during the day to increase
night-time-availability,

“Tt was not something done overnight. Based on the
needs of the individual streets, the residents organized
‘and lobbied to change the policy. It was accomplished
‘over a period of five or six years. This is not to say,
however, that it cannot be done quickly,” said Berton.
~ Students are currently concentrating on changing the
law only in the 11th ward because changes must be made
in one ward at a time. Said Abelow, ‘There is a very high
concentration of students in the 11th ward, We haven't
heard any other complaints from other districts.” The
ward includes Alumni Quad, most of the popular student
bars and much of the student housing on Hudson
Avenue.

SA suit heard;
verdict pending
on Grouper Law

By Ken Dombaum
[EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

A decision which could uphold or strike down
Albany's Grouper Law could be reached within two
months, said Steve Gawley, Student Association (SA)
President. The suit was heard on Thursday in New
York State Supreme Court.

SA originally filed suit against the City of Albany on
October 29 to test the constitutionality of the Grouper
Law. A stay was granted at that time which prevented
the city from evicting students listed in the suit.

‘An attempt by Albany to have the suit thrown out of
court was rejected Thursday by Supreme Court Justice
Joseph T. Torraca, according to Lew Oliver, Student
Association Attorney.

James Linnan, Special Litigation Assistant for the
City, said that there were several reasons why he re-
quested that the case be dismissed

“The papers are defective,” said Linnan. “The
pleadings are not properly pleaded as in accordance
with Civil Practice Laws."

“Second, our ordinance (the Grouper Law) provides
for all the things Mr. Oliver says it doesn't,” continued
Linnan, ‘He said it excludes housing for more than
three unrelated adults, but you see this situation i
places like the St, Rose dorms and group homes,'* he
sal

Linnan added that rooming houses are legal but a
permit is needed to operate one, ‘‘like a restaurant."”

“Our law is constitutional. He (Oliver) is relying on
‘a case from Oyster Bay that has no pertinence to this,
case,’ Linnan said.

“Oliver should read the Belle Terre (Long Island)
zoning case that went to the U.S. Supreme Court. It
‘was held to be constitutional,”” he said. “Our law is
very, very similar to theirs. The Court said it was a
valid police power to control population density, park~
ing, trash removal, etc.,"? he s

Linnan said that Belle Terre is located near SUNY
Stony Brook and that the case involved students,
the Oyster Bay suit did not.

Fieldhouse-Chapel House land swap sought

By Bill Jacob
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Following a May fire which gutted
Chapel House, the university and Chapel
House are negotiating an exchange of land
designed to better coordinate future ex-
pansion on the campus.

According to Vice President for Univer-
sity Affairs Lewis Welch, the university
hopes to use land Chapel House currently
owns for the site of the new athletic
fieldhouse, which is expected to be com-
pleted by 1987.

‘Chapel House has been offered universi-
ty property on Fuller Road in exchange,
said Welch.

By relocating its building, Chapel House

The new Chapel House site will become

Although SUNY Central’s Legal
Office has not received a specific proposal
from the university, Thomas Winfield, an
Associate Counsel, said that any exchange

SUNY Board of Trustees and probably by
the New York State legislature during its
next session,

Chapel House is now situated on ap-

Gary Kriss, President of Chapel Hous:

tha university needs approximately one~

“We have more than enough land to

‘New York
(AP) Penthouse, and its publisher, Bob
Guccione, have been named in a $250
million lawsuit filed by Vanessa Williams,
who was stripped of her Miss America
crown when nude photos of her appeared
in the men’s magazine last year.

Miss Williams added the publisher and
the magazine on Wednesday to a suit she
originally filed against a photographer,

Miss Williams charged in papers filed in
Manhattan's State Supreme Court that
Guccione, his magazine and photographer
Gregg Whitman unlawfully invaded her
privacy by publiching nude pictures of her
in the January 1985 edition of Penthouse.
Whitman had taken'the pictures in August
1982.

“These acts have caused Williams great
distress, humiliation, exposure to public
ridicule” and the loss of valuable oppor-
tunities to license her name commercially,
court papers said. Officials fo the’ Miss

after a group of nude photos of her, taken
by Tom Chiapel in July 1982, were

Second new elections plan passed

By Angelina Wang
STAFF WRITER

Student Association got a new Elections
Policy in a surprisingly short amount of
time Wednesday night as Central Council
pushed through a revamped policy for the
second time in three meetings.

The first policy was vetoed by SA Presi-
dent Steve Gawley a week ago, but he is ex-
pected to sign the second version, which
was passed with only three votes against
and one abstention out of 33 votes.

“I think it was a good policy last week,
(it) just had a few problems," Gawley said
at this week's meeting. Following the veto
the policy was sent back to the Internal Af-
fairs Committee, .where committee
members and Gawley discussed the policy,
said Internal Affairs Chair Steve Russo.

The biggest change occurred in the
public financing of elections provision.
Whereas in the originally—vetoed policy
candidates would receive $150 if they
received more than 15 percent of the vote,
candidates for president and vice president
can now get $50 for filing 500 signatures
before the election, plus $100 after getting
at least 15 percent of the vote.

Russo said many Council members sup-
ported campaign financing as a principle,
but not a mechanism which would be bas-
ed only a candidate's final performance.

Larry Wasserman, a member who voted
against the new policy, said he thought

‘500 signatures (was) too excessive” for
SA to reasonably demand. In addition,
Wasserman said he feared “‘people cam-

paigning for money, and not for votes.""

The money for financing elections
didn’t necessarily have to be taken directly
from the mandatory activity fee funds,
said Gawley. Instead, “‘we can use
revenues from the Contact Office,”* he
said,

“We're going to look into where the
money will be coming from. 1 would not
support it coming out of the Mandatory
Student Activity Fee, said SA Vice Presi-
dent Ross Abelow.

‘A second change in the new policy limits
media advertising among candidates, who
could originally spend up to $250 in ads in
the Albany Student Press (ASP),
SUNYA’s independent student newspaper.

“There wasn't too much disagreement
with media. We were going to either limit
or eliminate (it),"” said Russo.

The new policy sets a half—page ad
limit or its equivalent, but exempts per-
sonal advertising, Russo said this was a
fair compromise, adding, “The money
wouldn't come out of (public) financing,””
for ASP ads.

Most of the players in the process of
creating a new policy agreed that com-
promise helped form the new rules.

“It is not the original (policy) that came
out of Internal, or the one passed original-
ly—the policy is better as a whole,” said
Russo. “It’s one we can live with, one the
entire SA can work behind.”

Even Wasserman, who voted ‘nay’, said
compromise had been a factor. Speaking
of Gawley, Wasserman said he was likely

A policy “‘we can live with."

to sign the bill. “He's (Gawley) happy with
it. It’s just sometimes compromise is in
order."”

And Council Chair Bill McCann added,
“I’m happy with the policy, (but) not what
I was looking for 100 percent." He added,
however, that he didn’t think anyone was
completely satisfied, and that he foresees
“more changes before the end of the
year."

D’Amato lobbied against aid cuts

By Colleen Desiaurier
STAFE WRITER

Outraged at what some people consider
to be “the most devastating blow to educa-
tional funding in years,”* five members of
Students Association's Student Action
Committee protested and lobbied at
United States Senator Al D*Amato’s
Albany office Tuesday.

The protest was aimed at the Gramm-
Rudman amendment to the Debt-Ceiling
Act, which proposes to cut approximately
$180 billion from the national budget by
1991, which legislators hope will help
balance the Federal budget and cut the
deficit. The cuts will come solely from
social service areas, which make up 24 pe
cent of the budget and funds domestic pro-
grams for low- and middle-income
Americans,

Student financial aid would be greatly
affected. Pell grants are expected to be cut
by 18 percent, eliminating over 400,000
students from this program. Supplemental

Hartman also said he believes that, “less

America, for a larger defense budget. The
question I want to ask is does that really

world? I feel that cuts would be more ap-
propriate in the wasteful defense depart-
ment where fraud is prevalent,

Last Thursday, Koreen and SASU Presi-
dent Jane MacAlevey both made
statements at a press conference concern-
ing the Gramm-Rudman Amendment

Koreen expressed her outrage over these
proposed cuts, charging that they would
“dangerously affect the students) —
America's backbone.”

dition to Tuesday's protest, Stu-
dent Action Committee also carried out a
phone calling drive Wednesday in the
Campus Center, urging students to make
telephone calls to their Congressmen op-
posing the amendment

Koreen said that the drive was “pretty
successful,"’ explaining that three
telephones were set up in SA to call local
Congress members Gerald Solomon and
Samuel Straton, asking them not to ratify
the amendment

“We have to let legislators know that we
are worried about the implications it (the
amendment) is going to have on educa-
tion,”” said Digiorgio.

The Senate approved and finalized the
Gramm-Rudmann Bill on October 10 of
this year by a vote on 75-24, passing the
bill onto the House where it is currently be-

valuated by a conference committee.

Hartman explained that the telephone
calling and the letter-writing drives were

sl due to the short notice of the intended
vote by the House of Representatives con-
ference committee, which was supposed to
occur on Wednesday. However, the vote
has now been postponed to December 9.

According to a spokesperson for
D'Amato, the Senator is in favor of the
bill and feels that it is time something was
done about the budget deficit. D'Amato
feels the bill should be passed because it
poses no immediate cuts — but spreads the
money out over five years, said the aide.
However, the aide added that D'Amato is
in favor of the Guaranteed Student Loan
Program and wants to make sure the pro-
gram isnot cut. a

SA sets date,
place for rally
over keg ban

By Karen E. Beck
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Student Association is planning a
demonstration to protest University
Council's recent decision to ban kegs
and beerballs from suites and rooms on
campus after December 1.

The demonstration is scheduled to
take place on Friday, November 22 stat
ting with a rally at the Campus Cente
fountain and then with a march to th:
Administration building. H

The Student Advocacy and Rights
Coalition (SARC) held meetings last
Sunday and this Thursday night on the
issue. The decision to ban kegs was
made last Thursday.

“The turnout was incredible," saic
SA President Steve Gawley, “Thi:
policy is a week old and already, in twe
meetings, we've had a total of 140 peo
ple express their interest in the issue.”

Thursday's meeting recruited
members from many on-campus
groups, including fraternities, athletes
and Quad Boards, to help inform other
students about next Friday's rally.

In addition, a petition drive is
scheduled to begin this weekend, “We
are asking students how they feel," said
Gawley ‘and we are going to bring these
opinions, whether for or against the ban
on kegs, to Frank Pogue. I'm sure
students are opposed.”” Pogue is Univer:
sity Vice President for Student Affairs,
and his office is responsible for enforc-
ing the policy.

‘A general letter to students from SA
which was distributed door-to-door and
on dinner lines said, “If we allow this
policy to exist, we allow the probing
eyes of the University to dictate how we
choose to live our own private lives
behind the closed doors of our suites."

Student Action Chair Larry Hartman
said that he expects “a fairly large tur-
nout for the rally based on the
magnitude of the issue and the number
of people it effects." Student Action is
responsible in part for publicizing the
rally,

Hartman called the policy “silly” and
added that “it lets students consume
mass quantities of hard liquor but curbs
students" consumption of less alcoholic
beer.

SA Vice Presient Ross Abelow was
equally optimistic about the scheduled
rally,

“This could be the biggest demonstra-
tion in the history of the university,"
Abelow said. “This is one of the most
absurd policies ever to be formulated by
the administration,”” he added.

In addition to the petition drive and
the rally, SA is issuing a reaction paper
as a response to the ban on kegs in
rooms and suites, said Gawley. ‘This
will intelligently delineate our posi-
tion," he said,

We have a focus now," said
Gawley. “President O'Leary and Vice
President Pogue, as the administrators
charged with the enforcement of this

iced of its inequity

According to Gawley, there are two
problems posed by the policy, “First of
all, it places an unnecessary burden on
Resident Assistants, who already have a
tough job to begin with and whose
renumeration has not increased for the
past eleven years."”

“Increased responsibility and no in
crease in renumeration,”” said Gawley
“is obviously the factor that contributes
to the declining number of students ap-
plying to be RAs.”

Gawley added that SA is still waiting
for exact figures on the decline of
students applying for RA positions,

A second problem with the new
alcohol policy is it’s infringement on the

Currently, UAS provides two

Banking teller in the
Campus Center. But now, accor-
ding to Zahm, "We are looking at
an addition of a Community
Banking Automatic Teller
Machine (ATM)."*

It is expected that Community
Banking, originally pioneered by
KeyBank, will join up with NYCE
(New York Currency Exchange)
and go by the name CASHERE,

Zahm said,"‘Over the semester
break, we can install a free stan-
ding ATM. That machine and the

teller will share the name
CASHERE,””

“The State University at
Albany was the first campus to
have an ATM,’ said

ihm."*Marine Midland was one
of the few banks which had the
equipment inf the area."*

When it was decided to place
an ATM at SUNYA, UAS came
up with certain specifications
which had to be met. The
machines had to be entirely non-
teller operated and the bank
represented had to have the
greatest statewide coverage possi-
ble. All banking services available
anywhere in the state had to be

available on campus.

At the time, according to
Zahm,**Marine Midland was the
only one willing to come to cam-
pus, the only one with services
statewide, and the only one who
would give free checking to
students.’ Today, Zahm
estimated $50,000 worth of tran-
sactions are made in the two
ATMs each month.

“1 wouldn't want to have to be
keeping track of everything going
on in the banking industry now,”
said Zahm, adding that anyone
with a NYCE card can use it in
the campus Moneymatic ATMs
and that Moneymatic cards
should work in the NYCE
machines,

tors. Membership of the commit-
tee has not yet been determined.

“The committee has always
started this late,"* said Karleen
Karlson, Assistant Dirctor of
Residential Li

committee for the last two years,
adding,"‘That’s been a criticism
I've had.””

John Hartigan, Vice President
of Finance and Business and an
eight-year veteran of the UAS
Board of Directors said he does
not feel the present schedule in-
hibits the contracting process.
Norbert Zahm, General Manager
of UAS, agreed, saying,"We're
on schedule,"*

According to Zahm, in the
past, bids in the fal have been
taken as late as November and
December. As far as choosing a
book vendor, Zahm said,‘‘We'd
‘be aiming at late spring to make a
decision. A lot of campuses don’t
make those decisions until sum-
mer and that’s clearly too late."*

‘When formed, there are three
avenues the committee could
take, according to Zahm. It could
open the floor to bidding from
competing retail firms, renew the
current contract with Barnes and
Noble, or put UAS back in the
bookstore business.

The UAS Board next meets on
November 15 and committee ap-
pointments may be made at that
meeting. Once the bookstore
committee has been formed, the
contract process can begin, said
Zahm,

During the SUNYA
bookstore’s early years, “the
bookstore was run by FSA
(Faculty Student Association),
the original form of UAS, at great
financial loss," said Hartigan,
FSA operated the bookstore on
the late 60's and early 70's until
continued financial difficulties
caused them to lease services from

Follett College Stores.

“‘At that point lease-operated

‘stores were a relative rarity,” said
Zahm. Speaking of the Chicago-
based Follett College Stores, he
said,““They were probably the
largest lease operator in the
country.””
Follett held a three-year contract
and then, a five-year contract
with SUNYA. Then, “We looked
at all of the other companies.
With the size store we have, we
wanted the leased service of the
highest reputation,” said Zahm.
The SUNYA bookstore contract
is approaching $4,000,000, he
added.

Karlson, describing Barnes and

The bubble will be a temporary recreation

will also be a jogging area around the courts.

‘The next steps in the construction process in-

The bubble is being installed to temporarily

No sex is trendy sex

Celibacy is on the rise in the United States, ac-
cording 10 Penthouse Magazine's informal
survey published in their December issue.

College students are also changing their sexual
ways. Based on a 1984 study at the University of
Northern Iowa, 44 percent of the students
surveyed had had sex with someone they did not
want to marry compared to 69 percent ten years
earlier.

“Contrary to popular belief, celibates do not
hate sex and they are not all women,” said
researcher Gary Hanaven. “In fact, 40 percent of
our respondents reported ‘very strong’ sex
drives,” he added.

In addition, celibacy is not a permanent
lifestyle. Given the chance, people usually expect
to end their celibacy in a few years, Hanaven
said.

Consumer issues translate into employment

By Linda Greenberg
STAFF WRITER

Improving consumer relations is’ top
priority for many private businesses and
the job-market in the consumer field is ex-
panding rapidly, according to speakers at a
consumer conference Thursday.

“Jobs in the Consumer Field," a stu-
dent workshop given as part of a series of
workshops at the Consumer Awareness
Conference at the Empire State Plaza in
downtown Albany, Thursday, November
14 also included an informative lecture on
consumer affairs.

The moderator of the discussion was
Patrice Jenkins, of the Greene County
Cooperative Extension, and keynote
speakers included Joanne Gage, a Con-
sumer and Public Affairs Specialist for
Price Chopper Supermarkets and Jay

Halfon, Legislative Director for the New
York Public Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG).

Gage, who has worked for Price Chop-
per since 1983, spoke about consumerism
in business and the private sector. Accor-
ding to Gage, “The consumer department
(of a business) may be looked upon as a
department that costs money as an expense
for that business, rather than carning
money.”*

But, she added, “When the business
becomes more enlightned as to what role
this department plays, it realizes that the
consumer department will generate g
will, which in turn, will increase sales.

The role of a consumer department is
two-fold, said Gage. First, “Our depart-
ment acts as a watchdog, keeping an eye
on the relationship between the merchan-
diser and the consumer. It takes care of
customer comments, whether they be com-
pliments, suggestions, or complaints. Our
goal is customer satisfaction,” Gage

its staff function in

supporting he merchandising team. “Our
department must be part of sales and mer-
chandising. We must work closely with
them in order to have clout, to be part of
what’s going on,” said Gage.

The consumer department is responsible
for educating customers. According to
Gage, ““This is done at the point-of-sale.”*
New developments at Price Chopper to
achieve this goal include informative pam-
phlets whose aim is to educate the public.

“I get a personal
satisfaction . . . prote-
cting the rights of
consumers. ”’

— Jay Halfon

Two such pamphlets are
Vegetables” which serves as a guide to try-
ing and preparing specialty vegetables, and
“Light and Lean," which informs
customers about lean cuts of meat and
nutritional ways in which to prepare them.

The consumer department is also con-
cerned with establishing and maintaining
good conumunity relations. “*Price Chop-
per is very active in comm
One project we do is senior citizen busing,
which is a help to the community,”” com-
mented Gage.

Gage concluded, “By fostering good-
will, we are accomplishing two goals at
‘once. We satisfy our goal of keeping
customers happy, and at the same time, we
keep customers, which makes for a pro-
fitable business.

The second speaker, Halfon, who is a
lobbyist for NYPIRG, discussed con-
sumerism in the public sector.

In the public sector, ‘‘consumer action
deals with the areas of insurance, the auto
industry, the banking industry, and other

Very Special

areas as well. The goal is to influence the
passage of legislation that is in the interest
of consumers,” said Halfon.

“NYPIRG has gotten involved in a wide
range of consumer issues,” said Halfon.
He gave two specific examples of the
cancer-causing effects of toxic substances,
such as asbestos in the workplace, and
DES daughters whose mothers were given
the cancer-causing DES drug to prevent
miscarriages years ago.

“‘As a consumerist, 1 want to see justice
done regarding hazardous consumer pro-
duets. I get a personal satisfaction in tak-
ing part in a social justice campaign, and
protecting the rights of consumers,’*
Halfon said.

Halfon listed several potential employ-
ment opportunities and resourceful

We didn’t sign this in support of alcohol
or drinking. No student should, and we
believe that only a few will.

We signed this petition because University
Council’s decision earlier this week to ban
kegs and beer balls in suites violates every
dorm resident’s right to privacy, and gives
the university the right to monitor students’
behavior even in the privacy of their own
rooms,

Although dorm rooms are on-campus,
and thus under university jurisdiction, they
have been and should continue to be, the
private domain of the students who live
there. Students pay for their rooms and are
entitled to be treated as tenants. The Univer-
sity is the only landlord in town that would
dare to tell a 21-year old what size container
he or she can drink from.

This is not, as some administrators and
students have asserted, an issue of students’
drinking rights; the University, after all,
hasn’t completely banned alcohol in the
dorms. It’s an issue of a University Council
decision that reflects little of the preliminary
discussion, study, review and planning con-
ducted over the past few months. Each stage
recommended a realistic, enforceable policy
based on alcohol education and respect for
an RA’s delicate position as both a student
and a member of Residential Life.

The result of this is a policy that arbitrari-
ly sets a limit on the size of a container, but
has little to do with the actual quantity of
alcohol consumed, and doesn’t really pro-
vide for the educational awareness programs
that could be many times more effective
than an arbitrary ban.

It's the RA’s though, that have been hurt
the worst by far, After months of stressing
the importance of not turning RA’s into
poli it’s happened anyway. RA’s are be-
ing asked to spy on their peers, putting them
in the uncomfortable position of invading
their fri privacy, and sometimes taking
action against. members of their own
section,

To resolve this, the whole alcohol policy
does not need to be revised. As the petition
above explains, the alcohol policy passed by
University Council is simply in need of an
amendment to the section on bulk
containers.

The petition should not be mistaken for
part of a pro-alcohol campaign. The issue is
student rights, not student drinking.

This Sunday, students will have the op-
portunity to add their names to the list when
Student Association officials go door-to-
door on all the quads inviting dorm
residents to sign the petition. Next Friday,
November 22, at 2:00 in front of the small
fountain there will be a demonstration
against the policy.

We encourage everyone to attend.
University Council has set a dangerous
precedent by mandating the invasion of our
privacy. Let’s put a stop to it while it’s still a
precedent, and not a common practice.

‘21’ Policy Unfair to RAs

‘The December 1st change in the purchase age from 19
to 21 will undoubtably have profound effects upon the
University and more specifically the Residence Staff. This
is due to the reality of the situation —like it or not, over
70 percent of Residence programing somehow includes
alcohol. While the stated purpose of most functions do
not openly pronounce it, the harsh reality is that most
parties are centered around one thing — drinking,
‘Anyone who denies this fact, plain and simple, is living in
plastic bubble. The change in purchase age from 18 to
19 only somewhat restricted the nature and number of
these events, while the increase in purchase age from 19 to
21, for all practical purposes, eradicates them, Conse-
quently, in the future, Resident Assistants are forced to
explore other areas of programming — those which do
not include alcohol. This in itself is a positive step;
however, non-alcoholic programming is more time-
consuming, demanding and in most cases, more expen-
sive. Alcoholic programming provided administratively-
burdened Resident Assistants easy and cost-effective
ways to bring together a large number of residents, and
help in the development of community,

[David Pratt

The irfstitution, by the University, of a ban on kegs and

er balls in individuals’ rooms and suites makes a bad

uation worse. Students who are accustomed to drinking
in all likelihood will continue, with more of them taking
refuge in their rooms as santuaries of private indulge-
ment, Hence, Resident Assistants will be placed in the
unenviable position of enforcing the bulk container
policy when, in all likelihood, bulk containers may well
be more prevalent, While the policy is unenforceable, it
proves the University shows the same insensitivity to the
students as the N.Y.S. Legislature does. Instead of put-
ting a grandfather clause in the 21 year old purchase age,
which would allow the change to occur over the summer,
the Legislature insisted upon immediate action, In addi-
tion, the University, which clearly must conform to the
wishes of the Legislature, makes a bad situation worse by
banning bulk containers during the middle of a semester,
‘The University has several options which are more
moderate and have the same eventual result; for instance,
waiting until the end of the semester (or the acedemie
year, for that matter) to implement any kind of bulk con-
tainer policy,

Make no mistake, though, this policy is enforceable
and, if curent policy remains in effect, it will be enforced.
Undoubtedly the will of the Resident Assistants to en-
force this new policy is going to be tested. I have little or
no doubt, nor should anyone else, that this policy can and
will be enforced effectively. By effectively L mean that
while consumption from bulk containers will undoub-
tably continue, it will continue in a very discreet, respon-
sible manner.

‘The enforcement of this new policy will in some regards
alienate the Resident Assistant from their residents, mak-
ing life in residence potentially less fufilling for both
residents and Resident Assistants. The implementation of

the ban on kegs and beer balls continues the trend of
making the Resident Assistant position more ad-
ministratively oriented. It is stressed to RAs that they are
students first and RAs second. Yet this position is con-
stantly contradicted by administrators who have
characterized Resident Assistants ‘‘as at the very least
quasi-administrators.”” This contradiction has led to the
continued increase of administrative functions on ‘an
already burdened staff.

The end result of this trend has manifested itself in a
marked decrease in the number of students who have ap-
plied to become RAs over the past five years. One can on-
ly speculate upon the effect of the ban onlegs and beer
balls in conjunction with a 21 year old purchase age as it
relates to the desirability of becoming an RA. However, it
is probably safe to assume that it won't increase or im-
prove a potential applicant's desire to apply.

The majority of people who become RAs do not do so
because they want to bust up parties, stop ball playing in
the quad or, for that matter, ask students to remove a keg
or beer ball from their room. Quite the opposite, in fact.
To quote one RA,“*These people saw an opportunity to
plan parties, work with many different types of people
and motivate others to see past the rigors of acedemia and
enjoy the other side of college. I really doubt that the
thought of counting tack holes even entered their minds."
For that matter, neither did the thought of having to en-
force this new policy.

If the University continues to insist upon increasing the
demands upon RAs, especially when it takes the form of a
controversial policy, then it is clear that remuneration
must also increase. There has been no increase in
remuneration for RAs over the pst eleven years, yet I
wonder how many administrators haven't gotten a raise
over the past eleven years. It would be a different ques-
tion of RAs were being overcompensated, but a room
waiver and $250 stipend a year pales in comparison. Ac-
cording to Ripley's, long ago in a university far, far away,
RAs were once remunerated with room, board and tui-
tion waivers (not to mention less stringent policies to en-
force).tt is all relative to the times, I guess, but in very
real terms let's compare $250 in 1985 to $250 in 1974. Any
psuedo-economist could tell you that it just isn't the
same.

Finally, the university will undoubtedly respond to this
charge with the reply “that they've made several attempts
to secure more renumeration for RAs from the state
legislature.” It seems obvious that this was not a serious
priority in administrators’ eyes, This seems odd, in light
of the fact that last year the administration was in an
uproar when frustrated RAs attempted to form a union,
For what it is worth, most RAs I spoke with didn’t ad-
vocate the formation of a union, but they hoped that out
of the whole thing would arise a greater sensitivity by ad-
ministration toward RA needs and concerns, So far this
sensitivity has yet to be displayed.

It is time for the University administration to act in-
stead of react. Not to be at all dramatic, there is so much
more at stake than bulk containers — the quality of life in
the residence halls.

Open letter

To the Editor:

Statistics show SUNYA’s Jewish population to be in
excess of thirty percent of the school; a pretty fair amount
to whom this letter is addressed. As ‘gabbi’ of the newly
formed “‘Traditional Students”” group at SUNYA, I am
offering an open invitation to come and join us for Shab-
bat services every Friday at 6 p.m. (followed by a home
cooked Shabbos dinner at nominal cost), and Saturday
services at 10 a.m. (followed by Shabbos lunch - free). We
offer a spiritual uplifting; a relaxed atmosphere of
students from all different Judaic backgrounds. Services
are conducted n Hebrew and English, using a wide variety
of tunes which add to the flavor of Shabbot. We pray ac-
cording to the Torah’s prescribed way of praying, with
men and women each performing their specific functions
according to Jewish law.

Services are held every Shabbot at ‘Shabbos House,””
67 Fuller Road (Corner of Fuller Road and Perimeter
Road, on the way to Stuyvesant Plaza). For those who
prefer a more liberal, less traditional Shabbot service,
there is the SUNYA Chavurah. We hope to work together
to relight the flame that has been lost around the Jewish
community. So how about giving us a try and enjoy a
Shabbos experience you'll always remember. For more.
information, feel free to contact me at 442-6758. Watch
for details of our upcoming Shabboton Nov. 23.

No swindle

To the Editor:

This is in response to the editorial where Clare Mertz
accused survival game organizers of misinforming par-
ticipants of the game. In the accusation, Mertz claimed
that the organizers promised the $14 to include the bus.
This was never mentioned. The advertisement clearly
stated that the $14 would buy three games, gun rental,
goggles and ammunition. All other information was
presented at the captains’ meeting. It was announced that
additional rounds of ammunition would be extra as well

as the bus. The bus was offered as a service to students
who could not find their own transportation:“fhe daily
cost for the bus alone ranged from $140 - $195. This con-
stituted a big loss borne by the survival game, It was also
announced at the meeting that the playoffs would cost ex-
tra, Every team that participated in the game had
representatives at that meeting. Any misinformation
could only have been passed by these team
representatives.

Mertz also stated that much stress is experienced during
the game. Of course there is stress. You experience stress
every time you come to bat in a softball game. Stress
makes for excitement and challenge. It is an integral part
of all competitive sports.

It is true that the survival game can be expensive.
Similar. games in New York and Pennsylvania charge as
much as $30 to play. Where else can you get a day full of
adventure and challenge for a price as low as this? Cer-
tainly not skiing, The bottom line is all who participated
had a fantastic time and we hope to see you all again next

Vigil for peace

To the Editor:

Next week is the Reagan-Gorbachev summit meeting.
This is the chance for both sides to negotiate a meaningful
nuclear arms control agreement. One area that will be a
major issue in these talks is the Star Wars (Strategic
Defense Initiative) program. The Soviet Union says it is
against Star Wars and wants to negotiate a ban on it. The
Reagan Administration plans to pursue this pro}
refuses to negotiate on it. Star Wars threatens to under-
mine negotiations on other types of weapons, as well as
become the most expensive and dangerous program in
history.

Dr. Peter Stein, physics professor at Cornell and a
founder of United Campuses Against Nuclear War, is one
of 1,600 scientists who have pledged not to participate in
Star Wars research. On Tues., Nov. 19, he will be speak-
ing at 2:30 in LC 2, and at 7:30 at the Unitarian Church
(across from Draper Hall). He will be discussing the pro-
spects of the Geneva Summit and Star Wars. This event is
sponsored by Speaker's Forum, Peace Project, and the
Robert Hoffman Memorial Fund for Peace.

Also on Tuesday, a candlelight vigil for peace will
begin at 6:30 at the armory on Washington and Lark.
Students planning to go will meet at the circle and take
the 6:00 Wellington bus. This vigil is one of several na-
tionwide to support nuclear arms control. I urge all
students to attend these events and be aware of what hap-
pens at the summit, The world’s future is at stake.

Classes for ‘21’

‘To the Editor:

‘While walking on campus last semester you would con-
stantly hear about the fight against ‘'21.”” People are giv-
ing up — but the fight is not over. The Legislature is not
in session right now, and that should give us time to
prepare for battle. Face it, if the state ends up with its
wallet filled and faced saved with an alternate policy, it
will listen.

We propose thi

1. A class offered for 19 and 20 year olds, possibly
two three hour classes educating them on alcohol
awareness,

2. Those completing the class would receive a state
1.D. allowing them to purchase alcohol.

3. The fee for the class will be set to cover the
amount of federal highway funding lost, and the cost of
the classes.

4, To eliminate income discrimination, state funding
of the fee will be evaluated by need.

Many of us would remember this type of policy with
the three hour driving course which is proven effective, In
the eyes of the Legislature, the following would be
advantages:

1, The way the law stands now, a 21 year old drinker
that has never been allowed to drink will be an immature
drinker. A 19 year old completing the proper course, who
has invested time and money into a privilege will realize
the responsibility involved with drinking alcohol. The 19
year old is much less a risk than is a 21 year old first time
drinker.

2. The fee would cover any loss of federal aid, and
possibly help the state economy.

3. The program will create several state jobs.

4, More lives would obviously be saved.

‘The only disadvantage to the Legislature's eyes:

1, 19 and 20 year olds would be treated as adults

No bus for us

To the Editor:

1 am writing this letter to express the feelings of in-
dignation I and many other SUNY students are experienc
ing over the SUNY bus system. As I understand it, our
buses are supposed to arrive at each stop on an average of
every ten minutes. So for those of us who live down by
Partridge and Main there should be no need to dispair if
one of those green monsters happens to cruise right by
due to overcrowding. Yes we can relax as we are assured
of the presence of another within minutes. And yes, isn't
it a marvelous feeling as only seconds later another ar-
rives on the scene equally as crowded and once again
ctuises past. By now the average person is in a cold sweat
as the harrowing realization that he or she will be late to
class settles in. However, this is not even enough to com-
plete the picture, for after haying the experience of be-
ing" blown off” twice, you will now probably find
yourself waiting at least 15 to 20 minutes for the next bus,
and the next cycle to begin again,

It would seem that SUNY buses are not coming every
ten minutes, but around two or three appear one on top
of the other around every 20 minutes.

This is to anyone who depends on the SUNY bus
system a nuisance, and to those of us who are a bit down
the busline an outrage, For not only do we have to
tolerate the tardiness of the bus, but we also have to take
gamble on whether or not we'll even make it to the cam-
pus, as it seems that practically every bus is too crowded
to take us,

Grilled cheese?

To the Editor:

Four years, 1500 UAS meals. 1 endured, | ate, I've suf-
fered. Broiled goldfish, raviolis with taco sauce, wilted
lettuce, and the list goes on.

At first it's hard to accept cafeteria food and its side ef
fects. Your taste buds rebel, your stomach churns, and
the industrial toilet paper just isn’t cutting it

After four years I’ve adapted. I've learned how to eat
UAS food. Since smell is 70 percent of taste I no longer
use my nose, I know the right combination of food which
causes the least heartburn and indigestion. As for side ef-
fects, I buy Scotties and save the school’s sandpaper for
wood shop.

1am surprised I have lasted this tong on such low quali-
ty food. Yet, I am not hard to please when it comes to
food. Give me a dozen fried shrimp and a chicken puck
once a month and I'm content.

But, over the last month the situation has grown worse.
Hot lunch on the Indian Quad cafeteria has been pitiful,
To be more specific, I will use as a cuse example the UAS
product that has spurred me to write this letter:

Grilled cheese

What's going on? When you think of grilled cheese you
expect to find two things — bread and cheese. UAS has
managed to include the bread (though often stale) but
where is the cheese? They have consistently been using
only one small slice of cheese in their grilled cheese sand-
wiches. Only once over the last four weeks (Monday,
November 4) have they used two slices of cheese. It was
hot, crisp and melted — perfect. But the next day they
went back to their old tricks. Soggy, stale, and one slice
of unmelted cheese.

I'm not asking for much, Just put the cheese back in
the grilled cheese.

TV needs to make room for fair minority roles

By E. Paul Stewart
MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR

The Cosby Show, which airs

‘Thursday evenings at

PMon

NBC, has returned this year for
what hopes to be another promis-
ing season. The show, which stars
Bill Cosby, Phyllis Ayer-Allen

and several
talented co-
stars is perhaps
the best image-
wise portrayal
of a black (or

Beyond
The
Majority

ethnic minority) family in the
history of television. They are up-
wardly mobile, highly educated
and have a stable family at-
mosphere. In a sense, they could
be described as black ‘‘yuppies.””

“Must we be resigned to being cast
as Chico, Rooster and Huggy
Bear?’’

Another very positive point to
be made about the show is that it
has been very well received by a
cross-selection of the population:
young and old, white and black.
That is the determining factor for
any black show to be successful

on network television.

There

is one

issue which

plagues me

however, in spite of my extreme

asa minority,

like and respect for the Cosby
Show, and that is the media's
(network television in particular)
lack of awareness that there are
more minority professionals and
more ways to depict a positive
minority image than a sitcom.

There has never (to my recollec-

gram with a minority main
character or family. If there isn't
room for a network drama with a
mainly minority cast, why not try
a Hispanic “Matt Houston” or a
black “Dan Tanna” (Vegas)?

Although they may not ex-
emplify black life in America, at
least as ‘good guys" they portray
an image for minority youth.

masses. Obviously, the powers

that be in the television industry

have yet to realize these facts.
There are a great many Black

and Hispanic actors and a
tresses, longing for the opportuni-
ty to display their talent. Since
that talent is by no means in short
supply, there is no reason for
Hollywood not to take advantage
of their availability. When
Hollywood finds a Black come-
dian they seize the opportunity to
exploit him to the fullest. When
will they utilize the abundance of
serious minority actors and, more
importantly, when will we de-
mand it?

If we as viewers (and especially
of the minority concern) continue
to accept any and everything that
Hollywood ‘dishes out”, the
quality of television (and our por-
trayal in it) will never improve.

My advice: support the Cosby
Show because it’s good and it’s
hopefully a new beginning, but

ask for more, expect more and de- ~

mand more. Why? Because there
is more to us and we deserve to
have it showcased. a

More student loan funding seen in House bill

Washington D.C.

(AP) — The House Education and
Labor Committee approved a bill Tuesday
that would double the amount
undergraduates could borrow in their last
two years of college and give new teachers
a five-year grace period on repaying loans.

The rewrite of the Higher Education Act
would also extend for five more years the
whole network of federal grant, loan and
work-study programs that provide about
$9 billion annually in aid to half the na-
tion's 12 million college students.

In a move to make parents share in the
costs of their children’s education, the bill
would require all students under age 23 to
report their parents’ income when secking
financial aid, untess the students are mas-
ried, orphans, military veterans or other-
wise financially independent.

“The fieldhouse is fundamentally a recrea-

he added.

Kriss said he expected the exchange to be
made on equal value instead of equal
acreage. ‘It’s much easier for them and
for us if there is no exchange of money."”

“I don’t expect there to be ay real pro-
blems (yith the the exchange),"’ Kriss said.
“It would be beneficial to both par-
ties...We'll do our best to see that the
technical difficulties will be worked out in
the simplest way possible,”’ he said.

A Chapel House committee is drawing a
conceptual plan of the new building, which
is being designed for either of its two possi-
ble locations, Kriss said. A final draft of
the proposal is expected in early
December, at which time an architect will

Oliver said he felt that Linnan’s
arguments were invalid. “Obviously, the
judge thought so,” he said, adding that
Torraca rejected Linnan's argument that
the papers were improperly placed.

“The city made it clear they would deny
getting permits for rooming houses," said
Oliver. “Rooming houses are short-term
residences, not apartments," he added.

“The attitudes expressed by Mr. Linnan
and the city are typical anti-student at-
titudes,” said Oliver. ‘It’s clear the courts
will not permit this retaliatory action,” he
added, referring to the city actively evic-
ting students because of the legal acticn.

The bill would raise the maximum Pell
Grant — outright scholarships based on
need — from $2,100 to $2,300 for the
1987-88 acedemic year. There would be
$200 increases annually through 1991-92,
when the maximum would hit $3,100.

The measure would retain the current
$2,500 limit on how much college students
could borrow in their first two years, but
allow juniors and seniors to borrow
$5,000, Graduate students, now limited to
$5,000 in Guaranteed Student Loans an-
nually, could borrow up to $8,000.

It would require all students, not just
those with family incomes above $30,000,
to demonstrate need before getting the
subsidized loans.

Women booters close season at NYSAIAWs

By Marc Paseltiner

The Albany State women’s soc-
cer team recently finished their
season with a solid performance
at the NYSAIAW Championships
at Brockport. A 4-3 win over
fourth seeded Nazareth
highlighted the team’s appearance
in the tournament.

The Danes were seeded last in
the eight team competition and
were forced to play first-seeded
University of Rochester in their
opening game of the single
elimination tournament.

The women put on a good
show as they held Rochester to a
scoreless tie through the first half.
Despite losing 3-0, Albany State
head coach Amy Kidder called the
Danes’ performance ‘‘very
respectable.”

After losing to Rochester, the
team was sent into the consola~
tion round against another tough

team in Nazareth. The Danes
went into the game without the
services of Mary Dulkis, a key
player for the Danes who was
sidelined with an injury.

It was a game of tug-of-war as
both teams took turns scoring,
neither giving the other the edge
for too long.

Nazareth struck first at 3:30 in-
to the game and kept their 1-0
lead until 29:35 of the first half
when Cheryl Hensen fed Joanna
Lazarides for the Danes first goal.

The Hensen to Lazarides con-
nection clicked again for the
Danes at 33:50 to give Albany a
2-1 lead, Nazareth quickly tied it
up with a goal at 35:50. The first
half ended with the teams
deadlocked at 2-2.

The second half started with a
rare miss of a penalty kick by
Dane midfielder Kim Kosalek.
There was no scoring until 50:50

The seventh annual Great Dane
Classic, which involves between
15-20 collegiate teams, including
four from’ Division I schools,
begins at 10:00 a.m. at University
Gym. The final matches will wind
down between 6:00-7:00 p.m.

“The finals will be star-studded
matches,” said head coach Joe
DeMeo. “The Classic gives peo-
ple a chance to see top-caliber
collegiate-style wrestling.

The Danes, the Classic’s defen-

tournament's 10 weight classes
last year. However, of those
champions, which included Dave
Averill, (126), Andy Seras, (158),
Marty Pidel, (177), and’ Sandy

predict a fifth place finish for his

Men’s Cross Country team.

Tomorrow the harriers travel to Sunken
Meadow, Long Island, to compete in the
NCAA N.Y. Regional meet. The top three
teams in this meet qualify for the NCAA

Wagner Seahawks are putting as
much on the line as Albany State

By Mike MacAdam

ASSOCIATE SPORTS UDITOR

‘The Albany State Great Danes are about
to complete a long, tough ten-game so-
journ through Division I and Division 111
country.

And the beast at the end of the tunnel is
Wagner College.

‘The Danes have had to scrap through a
schedule containing Division 11 teams and
some of the best Division III teams in the
area, and the Seahawks, ranked eleventh

the nation among Division II1 schools,
are one of those teams.

But the beast Wagner has warmed up
for Saturday's collision at Fischer Field,
Staten Island, by feeding on a steady diet
of Ramapos and Glassboro States. That
leaves Wagner, at 8-1, enjoying the luxury
of an outright do-or-die situation to make
the playoffs, while the 7-2 Danes certainly
must win, but also have to rely on a sym-
pathetic NCAA selection committee that
doesn’t normally award playoff spots to
teams with two losses.

“It's nice to be in a situation where our
destiny rests in our hands,” said Wagner
head coach Walt Hameline, ‘In a situa-
tion like this, if we win, I feel we're going
to the playoffs, and if Albany wins, they
have a shot, too,

what to expect in Saturday’s game, having

Kwiatkowski, Czarnecki tasted the best of
both worlds, 28-23 over Wagner and 21-16
over Albany, while Kwiatkowski's ex-
perience this season was somewhat more
sour, losing to Wagner 20-10 and to
Albany 35-27.

“We felt that beating those teams show-
ed that we were at their level, but we just
didn't slug it out and show consistency in
the latter part of the season, and that's the
nature of the beast, that’s why Albany and
Wagner are where they are," sa
Czarnecki. ‘1 feel Wagner has the advan-
tage physically over Albany, but (Albany
head coach Bob) Ford always has
players prepared, so it will be very close.””

Kwiatkowski preferred to make a more
concrete prediction, though,

“T think you are going to see a blood-
bath,”” said Kwiatkowski. “Whoever wins
will score 24-27 points, and whoever loses
will score 20-22 points. 1 wouldn’t be sur-
prised to see the game decided by a single
turnover or a bad bounce. And whoever
gets that break is going to wi

It doesn’t take years of college coaching
experience to realize that Albany's defense
has to stop Wagner's rushing sensation,
freshman running back Terry Underwood.

“He's had an exceptional season," said
Hameline, “He's gained over 1,000 yards
already as a freshman, so he's been very
valuable to us.”

Underwood surpassed the 1,000-yard
milestone last week and scored five
touchdowns, including one by means of an
83-yard kickoff return, against winless
Ramapo College in the Seahawk's 57-6
laugher,

“Ramapo doesn’t impress me — Terry
Underwood definitely impresses me,
Czarnecki. “Our defense encouraged them
to roll out, because we felt that we had two
choices: letting them turn Underwood
loose or making the quarterback roll out.”

According to Kwiatkowski, however,
there's more to Wagner than just
Underwood,

“Terry Underwood truly was not a f
tor (in Hofstra’s loss),"” said Kwiatkows

‘He will probably be the best Division IIL
back when he's a junior and senior, but
right now he's all potential, They beat us
with a fine cast of supporting characters."

It is tradition at Albany State for the
senior football players to deliver farewell
speeches before their final game.

Thursday night, after what could have
been their final practice as Great Danes, 14
seniors got up and spoke. The themes of
the speeches were basically the same; they
hope Saturday's game is not their last.

It won't be if Albany State can defeat an
8-1 Wagner College team ranked eleventh
in the nation. It won't be if Jack Butter-
field's 7-1 Ithaca Bombers can topple
Kings Point. It won't be if Mickey
Kwiatkowski and his struggling Hofstra
team can bounce back and beat Western
Connecticut.

Those three events must occur, other-
wise the Danes’ 1985 season ends tomor-
row in Staten Island at Fischer Field. If
those events occur, the Danes will qualify
for the NCAA playoffs for the second time
in school history.

“We're going to live up to our part of
the bargain," said senior wide receiver
John Donnelly. ‘We just hope Ithaca and
Hofstra can do their part.”

‘There wasn't an Albany State player in-
terviewed that didn’t feel that tomorrow
was the most meaningful football game of
their lives.

“This is going to be the biggest game
I've played in since I started playing foot-
ball when I was seven," said senior defen-
sive end Rick Punzone. ‘This might be the
last time I'm ever going to put on shoulder
pads so I'm going to be playing hard.”*

‘The rest of the Albany defense will need
that kind of intensity if they are to stop a
Wagner offense which has averaged 31
points a game, However, the Seahawks
will be without their number one quarter-
back, Jesse Foote, who had cartilage
removed from his knee Wednesday. In his
place, Wagner Coach Walt Hameline will
start a 6'4" freshman Greg Kovar in his
first varsity appearance.

“It won't change their offense that
much,” said Staten Island Advance
reporter Jack Minogue, a Wagner beat
writer for 21 years. “They might run the
ball a little more."*

ball on the ground, Their rushing atack is

receptions last year before becoming
academically ineligible. At Wagner, he is a
force, heading the receiving corps with 26
receptions.

“They have great balance on their of-
fense,"" said coach Bob Ford, ‘Southern
Connecticut is the best football team we're
faced with this year, But Wagner
have the best offensive talent we've faced.
They can do so many things on offense
and that’s what scares me the most.”

Wagner runs the pro I set similiar to the
Norwich Cadets, who were shut out by the
Danes three weeks ago. “It’s people that
beat us, not formations,”’ Ford said.

““We play really good against an I," said
Punzone. ‘We held (Bruce) Johnson from
Norwich to 30 yards a few weeks ago and
Johnson is considered a great back.”

Most agree that the Danes’ defense has
peaked. Their performance in the 20-0
blanking of Buffalo Saturday was nothing
less than spectacular. The defensive line,
Denis Murphy, George laccobaccio, Chris
Esposito and Punzone have been stingy all
year. Linebackers Scott Dmitrenko, Frank
Sarcone and cornerback Matt Karl have
been dishing out punishing hits. And the
secondary continues to “'bend but not

zone said. ‘‘At the beginning of the season
we weren’t.'”

Offensively, the squad sputtered in the
rain at Buffalo and Mike Milano's right
hand still hasn’t completely healed, Ford
said that Milano can throw the ball, but his
velocity is slower.

“Out in the rain and cold during prac-
tice it hurts,”” said Milano, ‘But once the
game starts, I don’t feel it.’”

The wishbone attack might be slowed
down if the forecast for showers holds
true.

“We hope like hell for a dry track,” said
Ford, whose squad drowned in the mud in
Cortland four weeks ago. ‘Our whole of-
‘ense relies on quickness. It’s tough to tell

Sledgehammers to the street

time since Black Flag recorded their

first single, “Nervous Breakdown,”
back in January of 1978. Bight years later
they are working harder than ever to make
themselves a viable entity to as many peo-
ple as possible. This is a rather monumental
task considering that Black Flag doesn’t
know the meaning of the word
compromise.

Joe Romano

First, let's backtrack a bit in order to get
familiarized with this Los Angeles outfit.
Black Flag began as a Ramones-influenced
hardcore band led by guitarist Greg Ginn,
who is the only remaining member in
1985. As a matter of fact, there have been
a dozen members in all. The group gained
regional popularity, but it wasn’t until the
arrival of their forth lead vocalist, Henry
Rollins, and the release of their first LP,
Damaged (called the greatest punk album
ever by Maximum Rock-N-Roll), that the
band became one of the top names in US.
hardcore.

Then the roof fell in. A series of legal
battles, over. distribution rights and

I t's been a long time. It's been a long

copyrights, prevented the band from
releasing any new studio albums for three
years, Most groups would have called it
‘quits, but not Black Flag.

In 1984 came the triumphant return of
Black Flag, By the year's end they had
released three LP's (one of which was a
spoken word/instrumental album) and a
live cassette. They had also undertaken
two tours which included over 200 live
performances. There was a big difference,
however, in their music. The songs were
now much longer, more instrumentally
complex, and certainly more melodic.

This was blasphemy to the 30 seconds,
beat yourself and everyone around you to
a pulp, hardcore punk crowd. Many of
them rejected the new Black Flag who
dared to be progressive. This only showed
the hardcore crowd, or a large part of it, to
be as narrow-minded and adverse to
change as the people they accuse of these
traits. On the other hand, many diehard
fans remained, and new fans took the place
of those departed.

In 1985 three new LP’s have been releas-
ed (one of which is instrumental), as has a
live video cassette covering 1984. All three

albums were recorded in the same
weekend. The band also undertook a
16-week tour despite the fact that drum-
mer Bill Stevenson left Black Flag to rejoin
his previous band, the Descendents. An-
thony Martinez (ex-Dickies and Red Hot
Chili Peppers) stepped in ten days before
the tour and did a bang-up job,

and have even played some selected gigs
around L.A.

The other two 1985 releases include the
heart and soul of the band, Henry Rollins,
Even though all four memebers of Black
Flag make this band great, it is Rollins’
heartfelt lyrics (he is an excellent poet) and
awe inspiring live performances that give

It is 1985 that I would like to focus on,
since Black Flag has always focused on the
present and future. The instrumental
album, the Process of Weeding Out, has
not hit the stores yet. You may be asking
yourself why they would release an in-
strumental album. The reason is that Black
Flag is very proud of their instrumental
prowess. Greg Ginn (guitar) is nothing
short of amazing, with his psychotic style,
Bill Stevenson (all three 1985 releases were
recorded before his departure) is one of the
best drummers I've ever heard... a real
basher! Kira is an extremely talented bass
player, though not as flashy as her
predecessor, Chuck Dukowski, Together,
this trio plays. some

that added pizzazz.

‘The first album, Loose Nut, came out in
June. It differed from their previous
release, Slip It In, in a few respects. First of
all, the songs were shorter for the most
part. Secondly, there was more variation
between the songs, In addition, several
numbers were characterized by a catchy
guitar hook running throughout the song
Kira also tried her hand at writing music
and seemed to capture Ginn’s (who is still
chief songwriter) style remarkably wel
The similarities included Black Flags
trademark of an incredible amount of
energy, Ginn’s twisted guitar leads, Rollin’s
passionate vocals, and an overall style of
sledgehaminer, razoredged —rockst-roll

The picks include the title track, about a
“Wild and Crazy Guy,” "Bastard in Love,”
“I'm the One," and “Best One Yet.” Also
noteworthy is the sing-a-long, “Annhialate
This Week.”

‘The second LP is brand new, and entitl-
ed In My Head. It has the same similarities
to their previous work as Loose Nut did,
but it differs in that, not only are there
noticeable differences between the songs,
(the tempo differences and style variations
that caracterized Loose Nut), but there are
differences within songs, (mainly tempo
changes. They also shortened up some
songs even further, while lengthening
others, Lyrically, Black Flag still captures
inter and intra-personal conflicts better
than any band I know, except perhaps for

x.

In My Head is harder to get used to than
their previous efforts, and this is definitely
due to the constant tempo changes,
especially within the first few songs,
“Paralyzed” and "Crazy Gir,” This is also
Greg Ginn's first crack at producing a Black
Flag album, and I think he may have
overemphasized his guitar a little. The
third song on the album is "Black Love” in
which Rollins’ vocals literally sound as if

they are coming from within your head,
while the music is coming from the ex:
terior. Next up is "White Hot,” which can
be best described as sludge-metal, The title
track closes out side one, and is a great
song packed with energy and some ex-
cellent guitar work.

Side two begins with “Drinking and
Driving,” a protest song against... you
guessed it, drinking and driving. Personal-
ly, I think it’s their best song since the
Damaged LP. It packs the energy and style
of “Six Pack.” The final three songs,
“Retired at 21," "Society's Tease,” and “I's
All Up to You’ are nothing short of killer
rock songs. All nine songs are Ginn and
Rollins compositions

What's in the future for Black Flag? A
live video cassette and a cassette covering
1985 should be out by the year’s end, An
early 1986 tour is already in the works, in
Which a new bass player will replace Kira,
who has parted ways with the band within
the last few weeks.

‘After that, who knows? As Henry
Rollins said, “Black Flag is a very volatile
outfit, Whatever it i, though, you can be
sure it'll be done their way

(Please ignore that for the time being.)

id you ever have one of those weeks when, considering everything that ab-

solutely had to be done to avoid failure and/or death, you would have to

devote at least 40 hours a day to the bare necessities? And did you notice,
too, that there always seemed to be a huge complication thrown in, so that you
wished you only had to put in those 40 hour days and not worry about the com-
plicating factor?

Some people deal well with these killer weeks. They rationalize the situation and
keep things in perspective. As aspiring philosopher Joe Izhakoff once said, “If I just
buckled down and hid under my bed for a week, the time would pass, and

everything would turn out okay.”

It’s a nice sentiment, but it doesn’t take into account disastrous complications:
— like that strange thing with the stick figures at the top of the page. Yes, this has
been a killer week for me, and every time I sit down and try to get some work
done, that stupid jingle invades my brain, conquering all traces of quasi-intellectual
thought.

Even philosophical Joe admits that this situation is “out of control and needs to
be stopped.” That's why I'm appealing to you, the reader, for help. Those life-like
illustrations under the jingle represent the little dance and hand motions that ac-
company the words, | don’t know where this terror comes from; all | know is that
it’s back from my past, threatening my grades and/or life. Every 15 minutes or so, I

Shortsleeve ducks out

harlene Shortsleeve spent most of

Election Day on the phone inform-
C# over 40 bands that Duck Soup
closed. The club, which had opened just
five months ago, and featured acts such as
a Pig, Del Fuegos, 10,000 Maniacs, and
The Meat Puppets, locked its doors amidst
a maze of confusion and speculation.

Shortsleeve, the booking agent for Duck
Soup, stated that the management told her
the closing was only temporary — they
plan to enlarge the stage, move the bar,
and reopen in April, Other sources say the
bar, owned by resauranteur Robin Burton
and managed by Melody Howarth, will
reopen in December, Who knows? It’s no
secret that the club, located in Rensselaer

is not in a prime spot and live music atten-
dance is down all over the area

If and when Duck Soup reopens, Short-
sleeve and her husband Dave, who ran 288
Lark during its heyday, will most probably
not be involved. They are looking to start
their own establishment. An attempt to
open at the Embassy Club fell through, but
they are confident that they have found a
feasible, but undisclosed, location.

About the closing Shortsleeve said, “I
hope it serves to wake poeple up a little
bit. If they like new music and don't sup-
port it, they won't see it much longer.”
Some of the shows scheduled for Duck
Soup may be transfered to other area

Life in a model environment

1 board was plenty of food and
Ors: Life should have been sim-
ple and free, a lark. Boredom,
however, set in about two years ago. Thus,
a game was created to pass time on this
ship of fools- a fool’s game of death. Not
death swift and sure, but death
anticimactic.

Ian Spelling

Death followed a generally slow,
tedious manhunt aboard The Livingston.
Lynchings provided the most fun,
therefore lynchings became the
“inmethod of execution, the Reeboks of
death fashion. The names: of each and
every passenger rested at the bottom of
Captain Tim Dayson’s champagne bucket.
Once a week he chose the latest victim.
Normally, the potential lynchee would run
in fear for weeks, never knowing when
he'd be caught. Occasionally, the bounty
hunters purposely captured the victim in
days. Usually, though, they enjoyed letting
the victim sweat a while, allowing him to
contemplate his fate. Then they'd grab
him and lynch him, or her, this was, after
all, a coed game of death.

On rare days, the hunt lasted but hours.
Al Menken’s lasted but hours, He started at
the bow and ran until he tired, a mere two.
hours later. He gave up- a fact the bounty
hunters took into account when they lyn-
ched Menken’s entire family before he was
to get his.

The rules were simple. Run ‘til you are*

caught and then face death calmly. Those
who broke these primitive rules suffered,
Death was a given, it’s method wasn't for
truants- as rule breakers aboard the Liv-
ingston were called. Truants received
whatever punishment the Corona deemed
applicable. Menken, for instance, sur-
rendered his rights to mercy after a mere
two hours.

Dayson, also, the Chancellor of the Cor-
ona, declared Menken’s fate- and that of
his family. The Corona followed simple
governmental: procedure. The group of
seven board members ruled by majority,
with Dayson voting only to. break a tie.

Daysons Job, like everything else aboard
Livingston, was simple: he maintained
ris party line.

Dayson announced that Mary Menken
would die first. No blindfold and no quick
drop off an eleven foot platform. No hang-
ing painlessly for all to see and laugh at.
Rather, Mary was treated to the pulley
system, Normally, a noose is secured
around the side of the neck assuring a
quick, painless death in which the neck im-
mediately snaps. Mary Menken’s noose
hung behind her neck, meaning suffoca-
tion when pulled taught. But there she
stood, calmly, as those simple rules
dictated.

Three burly men cranked the gear shi
and reeled in the rope. When she hovered
‘one foot above the ground, Mary grabbed
the rope and strained to pull herself up.
Dayson’s smile vanished. His eyes met
hers,

“Hold up gentlemen,” Dayson
ordered, “The truant’s wife seems to want
to live. Lower her.”

‘The men followed orders, Dayson walk-
ed over to her and smiled, She glared back
angrily.

know what we'll do,” he called over to
the six other board members.

“Let's have some fun. Let's make her
watch the rest of her family die first. Then
welll string her up."

Bitten once too often

re you in the mood to think? No?
At pethaps a good cinematic

choice would be Once Bitten, as it
will make few, if any, demands on your
brain. One of any number of similiar films,
Once Bitten is probably best suited to the
junior high/high school crowd at the
oldest.

Rhonda Friedman _

The main character is an eighteen year

old high school student (Jim Carrey) who
wants desperately to — shall we say — ex-
press his manhood. In this oh-so-typical
scenario, his “good girl” girlfriend (Karen
Kopins) says no, so what does he do? You
guessed it — he goes out with “the guys”,
who are naturally only interested in one
thing,

Meanwhile, in a gorgeous super-modern
mansion, we find our model/actress Lauren
Hutton, a.k.a. female vampire. She is fran-
tically searching everywhere for a virgin,
whose blood she needs to retain her youth
and beauty.

So one night Mark, the teenage virgin,
and his friends, the teenage sex maniac
virgins, all pile into Mark's ice cream truck
and head for the nearest pick-up joint. And
gee, youll. just never guess who they run
intol The story goes on in this highly
predictable fashion until we are drumming
our nails on our chairs, able to guess the
outcome from scene one.

For what it is, Once Bitten is not com:
pletely atrocious, but its high points never
surpass mediocre, There are some cute
jokes, but it you're looking for substance,
forget it. The characters are. ne-

dimensional, the plot inane, and the so-
called climax tiresome, Sure, it’s inten-
tionally silly, but it winds up being more so
than necessary. There is a limit to how
much teenage humor one can take. And
we are so far removed from the characters
— what little there is in the way of
characters — that we don't much care what
happens to them one way or another.

The film's main attraction, and chief
redeeming quality, is the incredible beauty
of Lauren Hutton. She is the first vampire
to sport the latest styles from Paris and
swear them. smashingly, as only. a super-

model could, Sex appeal is second nature
to her, and her seductive looks and poses
are the most believable (and if you're a
nale, no doubt, the most exciting) aspect
of the movie

Cleavon Little raises our expectations
with the promise of an interesting perfor
mance as Hutton’s servant, but our hopes
are dashed as the movie progresses. At the
outset he seems to posess an evil grace and
exciting delivery, but he never quite goes
anywhere. He, like the rest of the movie,
falls, fat,

And so it was done.
Ann Menken went first, kicking and
screaming, fighting with more than her
eleven years of muscle. Dayson glanced at
his watch, Her neck never snapped, She
hhung there, suffocating for three and a half
minutes, according to Dayson’s watch.
‘And Dayson got smart this time. Little
‘Ann's hands were tied behind her back.

Billy Menken died next. Up and down
went the rope. Dayson decided Billy's
hands wouldn't be bound, so the seventeen
year old fought like hell. He groped at the
rope only to have the crank jerked and the
rope sear his hands. This happened several
times as the crowd aboard the Livingston
cheered violently. Finally, the boys at the
crank jerked too hard, The hands lay limp,
dripping blood onto the deck.

Finally, Mary Menken met her fate, All
the while, her husband watched attentive-

before they rolled to the back of their

bewildered eyes as well.

Then it was his turn.

Dayson commanded the men to tie
Menken’s hands together. The simple
orders were followed, As they yanked at
the leather strap, in an effort to secure it

Hands incapacitated, Menken. rammed
into Dayson with his head, knocking
Dayson overboard, Others reached for the
darting Menken who dodged them
expertly.

Menken nearly tripped over the lifeless
body of his baby daughter, Ann, as he scut-
tled about the ship's deck. Finally cornered,
he ran no more. He looked around the Liv.

He landed with an unceremonious thud,

Federal bills threatening financial aid system

By Pam Conway
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Extensive changes in the federal finan-
cial aid system could be the result of two
bills currently being considered by Con-
gress — the Higher Education Reauthoriz-
tion Act and the Gramm-Rudman bill.

The Higher Education Act, which was
originated in 1965 under the Johnson Ad-
ministration, established federal financial
aid and, by law, must be renewed by Con-
gress every five years. It is up for
reauthorization this year.

‘According to Rob Davis, an official of
the New York Public Interest Research
Group (NYPIRG), the Act expired on
September 30 of this year but was given a
one-year extension, Hypothetically,"
said Davis, “if the Act is not passed, there
would be no more federal financial aid,
but that is pretty much impossible

What student groups are more concern-
ed with is that ‘the bill is being rewritten
and some programs may be combiried or
cut back and therefore get less money.
That's the problem,” said Davis.

The bill is currently in front of the
House of Representatives, said Shelly
Wilsey, Organizing Director of the Student
Association of the State University
(SASU). “It has been through the commit-
tee process and will be voted on before
Christmas," she added.

“The bill is good in some ways. It ad-
dresses the needs of part-time, graduate

students," said
Wilsey, addi
places a minimum age requirement of 24
for a student to file for independent status.
Prior to this bill, it was determined on a
case-to-case basis."

NYPIRG chair Karen McMahon said
that she is more concerned about the
Gramm-Rudman bill, which could result

The Gramm-Rudman bill, It passed by Congress, will require a $36 billion per year
cut In domestic programs such as student financial ald

in “massive slashes in domestic pro-
grams,” including education, she said.

The Gramm-Rudman bill, according to
NYPIRG project coordinator John Am-
man, is ‘fan amendment jg: the Senate.to,
raise the debt ceiling. It is being labelled as
‘a deficit-reduction bill and will mandate
reduction in budget expenses and impose
limits on the deficit.

In 1986,” said Amman, “the deficit
will be $180 billion. The Gramm-Rudman
bill would require, by law, the deficit to be
zero by 1991. This would require a $36
billion a year cut,

“The question is,” Amman said,
“where is Congress going to come up with

these levels of funding. Congress should be
able to do it through normal budget pro-
cedures but in America there is such a
reluctance to talk about tax increases.

“If the Gramm-Rudman bill goes
through,” said Amman, Congress will be
making cuts and "these cuts will only hurt
certain programs. This is where education
will be hit because it is subject to these
cuts, Some programs will be wiped out
totally.””

Amman said he feels that the Gramm-
Rudman bill should not be passed, ‘It is
poorly conceived. Congess is not discuss-
ing the alternatives. This bill first came up
in the first week of October and it is

SUNY to release AIDS guidelines

By David Spaulding
STAFF WRITER

SUNY Central will release tentative
guidelines in Demember for dealing with
students who suffer from Acquired Im-
mune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), ac-
cording to Alden Haffner, SUNY Vice
Chancellor for Research, Graduate
Studies, and Professional Programs.

“We do not have a single case of AIDS

on the SUNY campuses, as of yet this pro-
blem is theoretical,” said Haffner. He ad-
ded that with over 400,000 students in the
SUNY system, the possibility for such a
situation must be considered.

The guidelines will be concerned with
the civil rights and privacy of AIDS vic-
tims, while also protecting those students
who would run the risk of being exposed to
the virus, said Haffner,

NCAA snubs Albany;
Danes ECAC-bound

The Albany State Great Dane
football team’s dream of an NCAA
playoff berth officially ended Sun-

he NCAA playoff commit:
tee chose Ithaca, Union, Montclair
State and Western Connecticut
the four teams that will represent
the East In the 16-team
tournament.

The Danes were overlooked
despite this weekend’s 15-0
shutout of Wagner College, rank-
ed 11th nationally in Division Ill,

The win gave Albany an 8-2
record and a berth in the ECAC
tournament where they will face
Plymouth State In New Hampshire
on Saturday at 12 noon.

Full coverage begins on the

back page.

Each case will be handled on an in-
dividual basis to determine if a students
condition poses a hazard to the college
community, said Haffner.

“If a (infected) person became modestly
ill, he doesn’t belong in school," he said,
adding that if an AIDS victim does become
ill that person will be sent home.

However, ‘if a person is in remission,
there is no reason to bar that individual
from the dormitories or the classrooms
unless specifically recommended by a
physician,” said Haffner.

‘The guideleines for dealing with AIDS
victims are being prepared by Haffner with
the help of an ‘tin house group" from
SUNY Central that have been in close con-
tact with university administrators and
campus student health services personnel.
Haffner added that the guidelines are con-
sistent with recommendations from the
Federal Center for Disease Control in
Atlanta, Georgia and will be updated as
new information on AIDS becomes
available.

According to Haffner, the SUNY-wide
guidelines only address the problem in the
student body. ‘1 would assume that the
question of AIDS among staff will be ad-
dress as any illness among staff," he said,

The United University Professions
(UUP), the union for SUNY professional
staffs, have no guidelines for dealing with
staff who are AIDS victims, said Lisa Fan-

UUP communications associate.

already close to being law.

“Alternate sources of revenue should be
considered,” said Amman, “Billions of
dollars are lost due to loopholes in the tax
system and the increase in military spen-
ding alone could pay for education and
social programs outright,"” he added.

Wilsey agreed that the Gramm-Rudman
bill could have a devastating impact on
higher education. If it passes, she said, the
Higher Education Act bill will be
‘useless’ because of the cutbacks it is like-
ly to impose.

Amman said that cutbacks are a real
concern because ‘there has been an cro-
sion in student aid over five years, The
funding level of the ‘84-85 year is more
than 20 percent less than it was in 1979.

“This is a significant drop-off,” said
Amman, adding, ‘‘in light of the tuition
increase we should be getting more aid, not
less, but President Reagan is adamant that
aid isn’t really an important issue.

“It doesn’t look like any programs will
be eliminated," said Amman, “but
eligibility for programs and funding levels
could be affected as could interest rates for
GSLs (Guaranteed Student Loans).” The
most significant effects of the bill will be
felt in the ‘87-88 year, he said.

McMahon said that students are not as
aware as they should be about the bill.
“Most people don’t know what the Higher
Education Act is. or that it is up for
reauthorization, Congress could restruc-
ture the entire federal financial aid pro-
gram and the Reagan Administration has a
tendency to slash funding,"" she said.

‘The Higher Education Act should be a
major concern of students, said Davi
because ‘it is the basis of all federal finai
cial aid and is how most students get their
aid."

‘Amman also pointed out the far-

More colleges
acting against
foreign TAs

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —More
schools in recent weeks have moved to
keep hard-to-understand foreign-born
teaching assistants out of the college
classrooms.

The wave of complaints from
students who said they had trouble
deciphering the accents and speech of
their teachers seemed to crest last year as
colleges, which regularly assign grad
students to teach lower-level courses,
literally began to run out of native
Americans to teach in some disciplines
like engineering and computer science.

Georgia, Arizona State and most of
the public colleges in Florida and
Oklahoma for the first time have just
given foreign-born TAs tests on their
English speaking abilities. Those who
don't pass will be shuffled out of their
teaching assignements,

University of Texas and Southern
California administrators two weeks
ago announced they might son give oral
English exams to foreign grad students.

In all, more than 100 schools hav
bought Educational Testing Service
(ETS) English tests 0 give foreign-born
teaching assistants over the last year, the
ETS says.

So far, colleges around the country
report they haven't had to push many
