Reagan talks arms

Geneva, Switzerland
(AP) At a White House news conference
Tuesday, Reagan told reporters he does
not regard his plans to test space-based
missile defenses, popularly known as
“Star Wars,"” as a ‘bargaining chip" to be
played at the Geneva talks,

The Kremlin has charged that the U.S.
space weapons plan, officially known as
the Strategic Defense Initiative, violates
existing treaties and will end any chance of
agreement in the two other fields open to
negotiation, medium- and long-range
nuclear arms,

In an interview with Times magazine
published earlier this month, Gorbachev
said ‘the Geneva negotiations will lose all
sense’’ if the Reagan administration sticks
to its commitment to develop space-based
arms.

During the two month interlude in the
negotiations, the Soviets hinted of a will-
ingness to reduce nuclear arsenals and the
United States insisted that any proposals
be made at the bargaining table, and not
merely floated in the media,

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Less than a year after President
Reagan was re-elected on a no-tax-increase
platform, the Republican-controlled
Senate Finance Committee is taking steps
to raise taxes — with Democratic support.
The committee approved three tax in-
creases Wednesday and hoped to complete
action today on a fourth — boosting the
federal tax on cigarettes.
While the votes would not result in a
general tax increase, they would require
that millions of people who fit into various

will attract more and better teachers.

The average increase in salaries and

amounts to 20 percent. The new contract
ends a two-year labor dispute between the

New Cafeteria puts Colonial in the pink

By Mark Kobrinsky

Purple and pink were the new colors
welcoming back Colonial Quad residents
following the remodeling of the quad’s
cafeteria. Reconstruction began after all
students moved out of the dorms in May,
and. was completed about a week before
the University officially reopened for the
fall semester.

‘According to Norbert Zahm, General
Manager of University Auxilary Services
(UAS), “The remodeling cost approx-
imately $135,000. UAS financed this pro-
ject using money from our ‘Funds for
Depreciation’ account.”

Many refinements made concerned
cosmetic appearances, but the cafeteria
also acquired a new dishwashing machine,
beverage counter, ice cream bar, and a
refrigerated salad island. The conveyor
belt that was used for refuse has been
replaced with a ‘seconds’ line and deli
counter in addition,

The colors alternate between purple and
pink throughout the dining hall, with the
carpet, vertical blinds, chairs, and wall-
hangings incorporated into the new design,
Zahm said.

Students, he explained, were involved in
the remodeling. ‘Samples of tiles,

carpeting, and paints were brought in for
selection by the food committee, and Col-
onial’s Quad Board,” said Zahm, adding
“We feel that we made a good effort to get
the student's opinions before
remodeling.’*

Major renovations occur every ten to
fifteen years. UAS remodels according to
the need, and age of each dining hall,
Zahm added, Alumni Quad’s dining halls
were redone last summer, and Dutch Quad
was the first uptown cafeteria remodeled
in recent years. Colonial, being the second
oldest quad next to Dutch, was the next
target of renovation, he explained,

In the last five years, UAS has remodel-
ed the communter cafeteria in the Campus
Center, the Patroon Room, and the Kum-
quat Cafeteria downtown, Zahm said.
“The renovations are uniform as far as the
complete remodeling of the premises.
However, we try to keep the individuality
of each dining hall." He added, “UAS is
hoping to remodel the Rathskellar, and the
remaining dining halls in the near future.””

Many Colonial residents said they were
unaware of the plans to remodel, and reac-
tions were mixed, Andrea Hanan, a
junior, said “UAS did a good job
remodeling. 1 was really surprised. It was a
g00d idea to incorporate the school’s col-
ors.” She added, “However, I feel the

soda counter should have been moved
somewhere else. It seems to cause longer
dinner lines.””

According to Daniel Rhodis, a junior,
“The dining hall has a friendlier at-
mosphere, because it is clean and new.”
Lisa Maisel, a sophomore, added, “The
atmosphere is better for eating. I'm glad
Colonial was redone — it really needed
it.”

Additional work still underway includes
a relocation and beautification program
for major banks of vending machines on
campus, according to UAS Director of
Vending Services Paul Arnold,

Banks of machines in the four uptown
quads have been moved to the basements
of the quad towers, Arnold said. No major
banks exist on Alumni Quad, he added.

‘Machine banks in the Campus Center,
the Lecture Centers, and the Buisiness Ad-
ministration and Earth Science buildings
are not being moved, Arnold said, but all
the banks are being redesigned,

The changes will include a more secure
facility at each bank incorporating security
features and ceilings which will not allow
trash to be tossed behind the banks, Ar-
nold said. In addition, the changes will br-
ing the facilities up to fire code standards.

“The main thing is to finish dressing the
areas,” he added. a

‘One of the major goals of CDSA, said Gawley, is to
cooperate on programming events. This will cut down on

speakers, he explained.

The idea behind this, explained Gawley, is obtaining a
speaker to tour several Albany schools at a time. ‘*This

‘According to Slyer, CDSA is also planning another
project that will offer discounts to students interested in
Spring break trips. “We want to collaborate all our
schools together and use the same travel agent, hotel and
planes in order to get reduced rates,"* he said,

The different timing of breaks may present a problem,
Slyer said, but he added he believes “we can overcome it
because we can promise the use of so many rooms and
tickets." Siler agreed, saying, ‘Programming may be dif-
ficult with schools on different schedules, but 1 think it
can be done.””

Another problem for CDSA, according to Joseph
Candellaria, Senior Senator at HVCC, is the integrating
of students from all different places. “Between different
schools, students are very separated. Each school has
their own particular pride and tend to stay together,"” he
said, He explained that programming joint events may
help lessen this,

‘According to Gawley, plans for a party in November at

Matchmaker seeks marriages of convenience

Concerned about the student housing
shortage in Albany, Residential Life and
the Off Campus Association (OCA) have
organized the Matchmaker Project — a
service which will maintain a list of local
homeowners who have rooms available for
rent'to students,

The listings allow homeowners to
describe the types of rooms available and
other details related to off-campus living
such as parking and access to laundry and
bathroom facilities. Also included is the
weekly or monthly rent, which currently
ranges from $150 to $300 a month per
room,

Although posters on the podium suggest
that rooms may be rented for $75 a month,
the actual listings start at $150. “*[Residen-
tial Life} put out 1,000 leaflets saying that
{homeowners} should charge between $75
and $150 and I guess that’s what they went
by,” said Jon Harrison, Chair of OCA.

The main objective behind the Mat-
chmaker Project was to find a new source
of student housing to alleviate some of the
problems of enforcement of Albany's
grouper law, said Tom Gebhardt, Assis-
tant Director for Off Campus Housin|
The law prohibits more than three

unrelated people from living in the saine
rental unit.

Student Association will handle the stu-
dent inquiries and Residential Life will be
responsible for the production and
maintenance of the lists, Gebhardt said.
The listings are updated every Thursday
and are available at both the Residential
Life and OCA offices.

About 15 students have inquired about
the new project, but the number of in-
quiries is expected to decline, Harrison
said. ‘“For the immediate future, I’m sure
it’s going to die down, People won't be
looking for houses in November,” he said.

Residential Life has maintained listings
of homeowners with rooms to rent in the
past, Gebhardt said, but in June SA Presi-
dent Steve Gawley expressed a desire to
create a larger base of information for
students.

A free phone will be available for those
students who wish to inquire about
available rooms, said Gebhardt, Students
can also obtain guidelines for living off
campus at either the Student Association
or Residential Life offices, he added.

Gawley, Gebhardt, and Vice President
for Student Affairs Frank Pogue met with
representatives of neighborhood associa-
tions and explained the Matchmaker Pro-

ror

ject to community leaders, Gebhardt said,
adding that he hopes word-of-mouth com-
munication in the community will bring
the Matchmaker Project to the attention
of more homeowners and provide students
with a variety of housing options. Ads
were also placed in local papers this sum-
mer to inform area residents of the new
project.

The fliers that were distributed over the
summer were not handed out randomly,
Harrison said. ‘The leaflets were targeted
to homes in the student ghetto and
downtown Albany. Basically people want
to live close to the busline,” he said.

The advantages of renting a single room
include low cost, better accomodations,
and the closeness students may develop
with a family, Gebhardt said. Students
renting rooms would also not have to deal
with landlords who may try to take advan-
tage of students, he added.

‘A homeowner’ main reason for renting
rooms would be to receive additional in-
come, Gebhardt said. Many homeowners
may have a son or daughter who attends
an out-of-town college and have a spare
room in their home, he explained,

Students who rent rooms usually do not
have leases or have any binding agreement

with the homeowners, Harrison said. This
may allow students to rent a room on a
weekly basis and save on rent over summer
and winter break, he added.

For some students, living with a
homeowner may be their only option.
Transfer students and late-applying
freshmen would most likely have housing
problems and thus be forced to rent a
room, Gebhardt said. Most students who
have stopped by the OCA office were
students who had no other place to live,
said Harrison. i

Provided that homeowner response to
the project increases, a wide variety of liv-
ing accomodations may be available in the
future, said Gebhardt. Some homeowners
on the list have more than one room
available and others may be willing to ac-
cept more than one student per room, In
addition, there are listings offering rooms
in exchange for child care.

The Matchmaker Project will have a
positive impact on the community, Har-
ison predicted. “It’s something to aid
students abd to aid the community as far
as students having a place to live and the
people in the community having an oppor-
tunity to get some more income and just
‘have better reiations with students.” ©)

Individual vendors banned from
selling merchandise on campus

The next issue of the ASP will be published

October 1

Students examine goods for sale on podium

Concern for groups’ fundraising prompted the change.

By Bette Dzamba
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT .

Beginning this fall, individual entrepreneurs can
no longer sell merchandise on campus. According
to a memo issued by James Doellefeld, Director of
the Office of Campus Life, “Transient commercial
activities should be approved only for fund r:
projects operated directly by and for recognized
student organizations, or recognized University or
University-related organizations.”*

According to Steve Gawley, Student Association
President, the new policy was “prompted by con-
cern over individuals and concern for groups mak-
ing income." He pointed out that “the priority was
to make the campus center space available for SA
groups.”

Shay Kostiner, a vendor for the past four years,
said “I don’t like the new rule."* Kostiner explained
that he began selling sweatshirts as a first year stu-
dent and later switched to selling earrings.

“This year, | came up with my merchandise and
they told me I can't sell for personal profit,”
Kostiner said. “I was paying my way through
school with the sales,"" he added.

Doellefeld pointed out “the idea behind the
policy is that money made on the podium should

stay within the community. It should stay within
recognized groups in support of their
porogramming.””

Kostiner suggested that SA could charge private
vendors rent for their places on the podium, The
rent money could be channeled to student groups,
he said, adding that the space could be made
available to students only. This would keep outside
businessmen from profiting, Kostiner sai

Doellefeld said, “Certainly I think the long term
effect of this change will be an increase in the
amount of money that goes to recognized organiza-
tions from vending on the podium.

“It is too early in the semester to tell if there has
been an increase in the number of student groups
vending on the podium," Doellefeld added.

He pointed out that many of the groups selling
on the podium ‘Are not funded by the mandatory
fee and therefore they need the money from yen-
ding for their programming.”

Kostiner said, “i think the school with this new
policy is taking some of the fun out of school. Peo-
ple enjoy hanging out and getting good deals." He
added, ‘I think it’s sad that the Roseman doesn’t
sell anymore." [a

History talks when the topic is Albany politics

By David Kase
STAMP WRITER
ion of a SUNYA
history buffs will soon
Albany's past in a

tant Professor Ivan Steen is in the
process of compiling a series of taped in-
terviews, known as oral history, which will
document significant events in history as
related by people who actually lived
through those times and events.
Steen said, ‘The principal aim of oral
history is to b naterial that scholars
to eyewitnesses."
Stories told by people are something that
can't be gotten from a textbook, he added.

When the program started in 1982, it
was priieipally aimed at documenting the
42 years that former Albany Mayor
Erastus Corning was in office, with the
focus being on interviews with Corning
himself, said Steen. However, Corning
died with’ only a half hour of interviews
recorded,

But, Steen said, there were enough peo-
ple from the Corning era to interview so

“The principal aim of
oral history is to build
up material that
scholars can use.’’

— Ivan Steen

that the oral history of that time has not

ral history is much more
time consuming than it may seem," said
Steen explainistg that approximately 40
hours of work may be needed to produce
one hour of interview. The interviews are

done on cassette tape andl then are
transcribed and typed.

The tapes will eventually be‘available in
the University Library for research upon
Fequest, said Steen, “You wouldn't put the
tapes on an open shelf — you should have
to fill out some kind of form like in re-

questing a rare manuscript,” he said.

In addition to Corning, the administra-
tion of former governor Nelson D.
Rockefeller is also being documented, said
Steen. “I am interviewing Edward Legue,
who was the first head of the Urban
Development Corporation, which
revitalized cities. One major project was
the Roosevelt Island Development in New
York City," he said.

Malcolm Wilson, Lieutenant Governor
throughout Rockefeller's term is also be-
ing interviewed, said Steen.

Originally, a research assistant worked
on the project with Steen as well as several
graduate students, “However, due to lack
of funds, I have to do most of the work by
myself now, which is one reason why | am
on sabatical this semester," said Steen.

Most of the funding for the program is
‘obtained through donations from research
foundations, the Research Office and the
Dean of Social Sciences Office.

Steen said he feels ‘very strongly”
about the oral history program, adding
that he thinks of it in the ‘same vein with
historic preservation,” a

Guaranteed loans are focus
of student insurance scam

Denver, Co.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE The insurance
agent who visited Bristol Harris and his
parents this summer gave the family what
they called ‘‘a hard-sell."”
“They went through everything real fast,"
Harris, now a freshman at the University
of Colorado, recalled. “I felt they were
trying to make things unclear,””

Eventually his family bought’ a $43,000
universal life insurance policy for $25 per
month, with the understanding the policy
would guarantee Bristol access to’ a
federally-guaranteed student loan,

No insurance policy, of course, could
get Bristol a Guaranteed Student Loan,
and GSL applicants don’t have to buy in-
surance to get GSLs froma bank, but Col-
orado insurance investigators say a
number of local families bought the GSL
policies this summer,

It’s happening elsewhere, too.

Brigham Young University recieved
complaints about the GSL policies in
August. Families in several southern and
southwestefn states got similiar sales pit-
ches earlier in 1985, reported Jean
Frolicher of the National Council of
Higher Education Loan Programs.

Colorado insurance examiner Tony
Tucker said that the policies that were sold
are legitimate,

But, he said, the agents wrongfully
asserted that buying the insurance policy
would guarantee students access to a
federal student loan, or tht many banks
are getting out of the student loan business
because interest rates are dropping.

In fact, banks are competing to make
loans this fall. The only way a student can
get a OSL is to meet federal eligibility
requirements,

“1 said, ‘What if 1 don't want an in-
surance policy,"* Bristol recalled of his

=

meeting with the salesman. “It was ap-
parent that we had to get the insurance to
get the loan,"

The Colorado agents were all selling
policies for Occidental Life of North
Carolina, Ken Johnson, marketing direc-
tor for Occidental’s student loan program,
confirmed that some agents were not ex-
plaining the firm's policies properly.

An investigator in the Oklahoma In-
surance Commisioner’s office said Oc-
cidental fired somed of it’s agents earlier
this year after finding they improperly us-
ed student loans as bait to sell life
insurance,

But the U.S. Department of Education,
unlike the states involved, has yet to find
an instance of misrepresentation in the
cases it has investigated, ‘People inter-
preted the sales pitch to mean something
other than what was said," said Sharon
Messenger of the department. ‘*Con-
sumers need to take time to read the fine
print,”

Messenger said the problem frequently

arises because insurance firms, which
themselves can loan money to students, are
allowed to make access to the student
loans they offer conditional on buying an
insurance policy. Misrepresentation only
occurs if the agent indicates it may be im-
possible to get a student loan from any
other lender, or if the agent indicates that
buying a policy will guarantee the student
a loan,
Messenger said complaints arising from
this confusion are “a continuing pro-
blem," and are no more prevalent this year
than in years past.

Frolicher, however, said the problem
surfaced within the past year, She said
federal official are not doing enough to
correct the problem a

NEWS UPDATES

O’Leary set to move

Vincent O'Leary, president of SUNY
Albany, is moving from his current Sl-
ingerlands residence to a home in Loudon-
ville, University officials said Monday.

According to Tuesday's Albany Times-
Union, a 14-room house on 2.5 acres of
land on Loudonville Road has been pur-
chased for $225,000 by the not-for-profit
State University Benevolent Association.

The University had been leasing a house
from Dr. Raymond Elliott. However, Dr.
Elliott has notified the University that in
‘November the lease shall be terminated.

Campus representative Sheila Mahan
said that part of the home would be for the
president’s personal use,and part for
entertaining faculty, staff and community
leaders.

Companions needed

The Albany-based Center for the
Disabled is looking for volunteers to
become parttime companions for the
developmentally disabled. This job will
teach new skills and give experience to
volunteers.

Volunteers can assist during the lunch
time hours, in classrooms, on field trips
and in the swimming pool. Weekend
volunteers are also needed to assist in
leisure activities.

The disabled come from the Albany,
Colonie, Latham and Loudonville areas.

Guinness date set

SUNY Albany will be in The Guinness
Book of World Records upon the next
Publication of the collection of planetary
Superlatives,

Last April 20, SUNYA established a
new record for the most participants in a
game of musical chairs, However, the
mark went unreported in the Guinness
book in it’s previous edition.

The reason for this, according to Betty’
Ginzburg, program director for the Stu-
dent Association, is that in order to attain
world record status, one must wait out a|
three month certification process.

According to Ginzburg, Albany State
has just achieved this status, and will ap-
pear in the upcoming edition,

O’Leary plans ‘gripe sessions’ with students

By Karen E. Beck

Gripes. Students certainly have them
and they make great dinner conversation,
but many complaints may no longer have
to fall upon deaf ears. Starting this
semester, students will have the opportuni-
ty to share their complaints, opinions and
ideas with University President Vincent
O'Leary.

A series of informal discussions called
“Conversations With the President’ will
be aimed at “satisfying the continuing
need to personalize this campus,” said
Frank Pogue, Vice President for Student
Affairs..:!

O'Leary is ‘planning to conduct discus-
sion sé8sions on all five quads. Other plans
include’ discussion to be held in the Cam-
pus Cériter, aimed specifically at problems
encouhtéred by off-campus students, and
a live call-in conversation with O’Leary to
be aired on the campus radio station,
WCDB.

The first meeting will be held on Thurs-
day, September 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the
Dutch Quad Flagroom.

“There's been an emphasis over the past

the students,” said Pogue. ‘Faculty
members can serve as very positive role
models. The quality of life outside the
classroom and within the classroom are
positively related.”

‘O'Leary said he sees ‘Conversations
With the President’’ as being a very useful
form of communication between himself
and the students. “Over the years, I've
considered it important to communicate
directly with the students. It's very useful
for me to talk to students about issues that
concern them.

This year, O'Leary is trying to meet and
talk with students “‘in @ more organized
fashion.” He explained that ‘‘we're trying
to organize around certain areas, for ex-
ample, starting with all the quads.””

“Meeting students had previously been
less structured. We're now trying to do it
more systematically,” said O'Leary.

The discussions ate open to all students,
but key groups with which O'Leary will be
working are Quad Boards, Resident Assis-
tant Advisory Boards ard selected
students. Along with the president, Pogue
as well as a number of other Vice
Presidents will participate in the
discussions.

John Martone, Director of Residential
Life and Tom Gebhardt, who is in charge
of Off-Campus Housing, also helped to
organize the program.

“Many issues brought up at the SA (Stu-
dent Association) Central Council summer
retreat to Dippikill will be reiterated,” said
Pogue. Among the issues are the 21 year
old drinking age and student housing. The
Dippikill retreat has been an annual event
for eight years.

“The president will allow students to
develop an agenda and ask him anything
they want,” said Pogue. “We feel it’s a
good way to exchange ideas about matters
that are of concern to the students."

“These conversations are for students,””
explained Pogue. ‘We felt it would be
counter-productive to direct the conversa-
tion at specific issues.

O'Leary held an annual dinner party at
his home on Wednesday, September 18 to
which members of Student Association
and Central Council were invited. A total
of 44 students attended. “We decided to
expand on this and appear at several places
to talk about things that affect students.""

‘Students have some concerns which
are aimed at and pointed in the direction

f change,” said Pogue. ‘The president
and various vice presidents can address
these problems immediately or refer the
problem to an appropriate source.

“Any funding for the ‘Conversations’
would come from the poresident’s ac-
count,’* added Pogue.

Next semester," he said, ‘we will con-
tinue to do what we've always done. That

, to visit the different cafeterias and talk
to students at dinner.”

Indian Quad Board President, Don
Smirti, said he feels ‘Conversations With
the President” is ‘a wonderful idea.”” He
added, “‘Students need an open forum in
which they can discuss problems and ideas
with people in leadership positions."

Ross Abelow, SA Vice President, said
“It's great that the president of the univer-
sity is going out of his way to meet with the
students. It shows that he really cares
about the students, Students should get a
better attituide toward the administration
because of the discussions.

SA President Steve Gawley agrred, say-
ing, “Having President O'Leary available
to directly address student concerns will
add an air of open accesibility to the
university. c

whdt the monthly meetings are all
about, explained Gawley.

Slyer agreed saying, “It helps
all colleges get together and talk
about things. For example, some
colleges have a lot of restrictions
frolm administrations and when
they see other schools run dif-
ferently they can change.”

“When our school has a pro-
blem, such as with alcohol, other
schools have input and sugges-
tions for them," said Janine
Detillo, Vice President of Com-
munications for the College of St.

Rose, Working together can make
things easier, she added.

The idea of creating an associa-
tion of this kind has been kicked
around for a long time, according
to Gawley. However, it has taken
time to materialize, he added.

““The idea is sound, now I hope
we can implement it, that is the
hard part,”” said Candellaria.

However, positive thoughts are
being expressed about the associa-
tion, ““There are no drawbacks; it
can't hold you back, only bring
you forward. It is not asking a lot
from you but offering you a lot in
return," said Slyer. a

HESC’s new loan collection program pays off

By Andrea Corson
STAFF WRITER

New York State students who
default on their state-guaranteed
student loans may soon be finding
themselves handing over their tax
refunds to the Higher Education
Services Corporation (HESC) as
part of new collection procedures
being instituted,

In recent months the federal
government has also announced
plans to have the Internal
Revenue Service hold back tax
refunds if federal loans are not
repaid, Recent data from the U.S.
Department of Education in-
dicate that New York's percen-
tage increase in defaults has been
only half that of the national
average, which is 40 percent.

According to HESC, the drop
is the result of new methods of
notification about student loans
nearing default and more ag-
gressive collection programs. The
plan to withhold state tax refunds
is the latest innovation.

Arlene Olinsky, a HESC Pro-
gram Research Specialist said

students who have either
graduated or dropped out of col-
lege in an attempt to find out why
students fail to pay their loans,

“The primary cause, although
it seems preity obvious,” she
said, is that many students have a
hard time finding jobs after
graduation, and therefore are
unemployed,

As a result of the survey, Olin-
sky said, HESC has determined
that ‘“defaulters are much more
likely not to be employed when
their loans come due," and that
defaulters have borrowed less
(money) in total than repayers, on
the average,"

The survey also found that
defaulters have attended school
for a fewer number of years,
which makes it harder for them to
find jobs, said Olinsky.

The rise in number of
defaulters in recent years, she
said, was not necessarily unex-
pected. “The reason why the
number of defaulters have grown,
is that, obviously, there have been
more loans made as the years
have gone on.”

Guarfnteed Student Loan (GSL)
program in fiscal 1980 totaled
$875.6 million, but by 1984-85
that figure went to $987.2 million,
Olinsky said. Defaults for 1980
were around the 56.3 million
mark, with that figure rising to
$157.5 million in 1984-85 against.
collectins of only $35.9 million.
Donald Whitlock, director of
nancial Aid at SUNYA sai
that about 1,200 students a year
borrow on the National Direct
Student Loan (NDSL) program
and about 5,500 on the GSL
program.

“The number of loans since
1981-82 has decreased," he said,
“because of changes imposed by

However, since thi
in 1982-83, GSL remains fairly
constant at about 5,500 [students]

ided that ‘while the
number of loans remains constant
because of a restrictive economic-
means test, the amount of loans
(in dollars) has declined
somewhat.’*

“a student in
default may not receive additional
aid and therefore may be unable
to attend, which may thus effect
enrollment

Collection of outstanding loans
is not the responsibility of HESC
which, according to Olinsky, does
not send threatening notices to
defaulters. ‘Before we even pur-
chase the loan that is in default
from the bank or lender,” she
said, “the bank muist form a
series of procedures for coll
which is known as ‘‘due
diligence’.’?

The bank must contact the bor-
rower to make sure that the per
son knows how much their loan
was, what amounts payments
should be and what the conse-
quences of failure to pay would
be, Olinsky said. There are also
certain legitimate deferments the
bank can make and unemploy-
ment is one of them, she added.

If repayment has not begun,
HESC purchases the loans from
the bank and tries to contact the
student, Olinsky said. “Aside

defaulters, but,

from that

can voluntarily take a reduction
out of his pay."” About 450 bor-
rowers are participating in the
state payroll deduction program,
she added.

If a judgement is rendered
against a defaulter in court, said
Olinsky, then HESC is entitled to
that person's state income tax re-
fund, something which the
Education Department has
ready been enforcing, she
added,

“If they're having a state’ in-
come tax refund, they are ob-
viously employed and they have
an obligation — they have to
repay,” she said.

On the basis of the survey
results, said Olinsky, HESC also
made certain recommendations to
the Federal government about
allowing longer deferment
periods for people who are
unemployed.

HESC itself is planning addi-
tional actions to prevent tefaults,
such as alerting students who are
leaving school about theffobliga-
tions to repay the loan through a

Catholic council designed
to increase student input

By David Wertheim
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The University’s Catholic community at
Chapel House has formed a formal “‘Com-
muntiy Council’ to help SUNYA’s large
Roman Catholic student population with
both other Chapel House groups and the
National Catholic Student Coalition.

“Both (Sister Nancy Langheart) and
myself felt that we would like to have more
student involvement,” said Father Jack
Molyn, a Chapel House board member

said the same thing to us,” he added.

‘Basically we are very interested in hav-

ing more input on decision-making," said
Langhart,

According to Molyn, Roman Catholic
students represent approximately 35 per-
cent of the SUNYA student body.

“Although we do not have a parish, we
do have quite an active community and
this is the basis for the community,” said
Langhart,

The idea for a community council came
about last October. “Nancy and I. . .1
sound like Reagan when I say that...
discussed the forming of a council for
students last October. But it was Mike
Racz that helped us start one," said
Molyn.

Racz, a SUNYA student, attended the
National Catholic Student Coalition
meeting in Florida in January 1985. “The
second meeting will be this January and
will be in New Orleans. It would be to our

we need
your type

advantage to have a member from

SUNYA and a person from a local area
college attend,” said Racz at. the
September council meeting.

The meeting dealt with the issues of
writing a constitution for the club in order
to gain Student Association recognition
and possibly funding also.

According to the minutes of the
meeting, the council decided to maintain
four groups. Those include a Constitution
committee, a Service Projects and Peace
and Justice committee, an Education Pro-
grams committe and a Social Committée

“We're brand new here,” explain
Molyn, referring to his and Langhart’s re-
cent association with Chapel:House, ad-
ding that ‘‘we want the students to have a
series of groups to /olved in, We're
here to serve them, and this is what will
serve them,"

‘The Roman Catholic branch of Chapel
House is currently the only christian group
to have a student committee. The
Episcopalian and Baptist groups do not
have similar organizations.

“What would happen last year," said
Molyn, “‘is that Nancy and I would send
around a bunch of sign-up sheets in order
to determine student preference. We
would hold an event and be unsure of how
many kids would show up, Now we have a
better idea of attendance.”

“No more freezing brownies or running
out to buy more. Now the students will
help us to help them,” Molynsaid.

Tenants breaking leas

By Mark M’shler
Do any of the following situa-
tions sound familiar? You arrive
at your off-campus apartment on
September 1 to find that the
landlord has’ failed to make any
of the repairs s/he promised when
the lease was signed. or, you ar-
riveon ’
September 1, It’s

look closely at

the apartment TN@

for the first

time and realize Law

that (take your choice) there are
no closets, no windows, no locks
or no shower, Or, you spend your
first night.in the apartment only
to realize that that quaint little
bar downstairs, the Lamp Post, is
in fact one of the most crowded
and noisy night spots in Albany.

If any of these stories sound
familiar to you, you may be
among the students asking,
“How can I get out of my lease?”
This is a common quesion in the
Student Legal Services office at
thepbeginning of each academic
year. This article will present
some general answers to this ques-
tiofp..Remember that every situa-
tioh is unique and that a brief ar-
ticle cannot answer specific ques-
tions. If you are having a problem
with your apartment or a dispute
with your landlord you should
contact an attorney.

There is no automatic or easy
way to get out of a lease. This is
why it is so important to inspect
«nlapartment ''eifefully before
signing a lease, and to have the
landlord put in writing all pro-
mises regarding repairs.

"The best way to get out of a

lease, although it is rarely
available as an option, is if the
landlord agrees to release you
from your obligations. The par-
ties to a contract, such as a lease,
are always free to’modify or ter-
minate the agreement, but this re-
quires the consent of all parties. If
you want {0 ret out of your lease
the first ste, is to speak to the
landlord and attempt to reach an
agreement, Any agreement you
reach should be put in writing.

If the landlord won't agree to
release you from the lease, New
York State law allows a tenant to
vacate an apartment without in-
curring any additional obligatis
if the apartment is uninihabitable.
In order to make use of this law,
called ‘constructive eviction,”
the apartment must be totally
uninhabitable. This law is
generally not available as an
option.

Another possible way to get out
of a lease is to “assign” your
lease to someone else. This means
that another person takes over
your rights and obligations under
the lease, Sometimes landlords
agree to assignments. If your
landlord refuses to consent, you
might still have a right under New
York state law to assign the lease,
The law regarding assignments is
complex and you should consult
an attorney in this type of
situation.

A “sub-lease’’ is similar to an
assignment, except that you r
main responsible under the lease
and can be held liable by your
landlord if the sublessee fails to
pay the rent. As with

THANK

YOU

SMOKING
ON NOV.

NOT

assignments, the law is complex
and an attorney should be con-
sulted for specific information,
Another option is to simply
vacate the apartment. This is not

recommended. The landlord can .

sue you for rent for the entire
period the apartment is vacant.

You may end up paying double
rent: rent for the apartment you
vacated and rent for the apart-
ment to which you moved.
Finally, other obligations may
exist.if you decide to stay in the
apartment. You may have the
right to withhold a portion of

es face limited options

your rent due to the failure of the
landlord to make necessary
repairs. This will be discussed in a
future article,

Would you support a system in which more
than 70 percent of its members cannot vote,
buy or sell land, or live or work where they
want? A system in which more than 70
percent of the population must live in
reserved areas that account for only 13
percent of the country’s total acreage while
the remaining 87 percent of the land is
reserved for 16 percent of the population?
Would you support a system in which more
than 70 percent of the population is
intentionally denied adequate health care,
education, and employment?

You do. Everyday.

The tuition you pay, the gas you buy, the
cars you ride in, the computers you use, the
government you elected, chances are, even the
bank you patronize, all help maintain and in
some cases actually promote a system that
denies basic human rights to a large majority
vf its population.

This system you're supporting governs
South Africa, where apartheid, or strict
segregation of races, is a well-known policy of
the all-white regime, and discrimination
against blacks is not only permitted, it is
mandated by law.

Black Africans, although they are natives
of the country and currently make up 72
percent of its population, are not even
considered citizens under South African law.
At the age of 16 they are fingerprinted and
thereafter, must always carry a pass book
containing their address, employment record,
taxes, family status and permits to enter white
areas. They are not allowed to travel freely
and even the mildest form of protest or
dissent can result in mysterious arrests and
deaths.

Geographically speaking, all this is
happening thousands of miles away from us.
Financially and industrially, however, its
roots are here, deeply entrenched in the
American economy.

And that’s where you can and should want
to attack the problem. American companies
like IBM and GM run large operations
South Africa, more than 125 U.S. banks,
including Marine Midland, have loaned
billions of dollars to both the government and
private borrowers there, and state universities
such as SUNY have millions of dollars tied up
in investments in corporations that operate
there.

In addition, our government, which usually
prides itself on defending democracy around
the globe, has imposed few sanctions on the
regime, leaving us far behind in an area where
this country has in the past sought to set the
example,

We are allowing our government and many
corporations to support a system in South
Africa that we would never stand for in our
own country, If we believe that racism is
wrong, and this country’s history shows that

nm it's our duty to oppose it
we can see it most.

Students have fought at the forefront of
this battle for many years, On Monday, our
Student Association is hosting a statewide
South African awareness day, Beginning at
noon and continuing into the evening there
will be a variety of speeches and programs
taking place around the small fountain and
inside the campus center,

At 6:30 there will be a pro-divestment
demonstration in front of the small fountains.
Students will be calling on organizations like
the SUNY board of trustees to divest their
holdings in South Africa.

We urge everyone to attend. Apartheid is
not timited to some far off country on the
southern tip of Africa. It's happening right
here where our university, our banks, and our
government are supporting it.

From bad to worse

Indeed? Why is it that the Reagan Administration is so
incompatible with the Contadora policies? Assuming it is
already abundantly clear, America and other western na-
tions are not willing to tolerate the emergence of another
““Cuba’" in our hemisphere,

Fred Tabaracci

‘At the primary level both the Contadora and Reagan
are in harmony. A Cuba-styled communist Nicaragua is
intolerable to America for strategic and security pur-
poses, and to the Contadora. It would threaten
disintegration of each’s socio/political/economic
infrastructure.

‘And yet apparently Reagan is follwing one policy, and
the Contadora favors another.

Logically speaking, does it not make sense that Con-
tadora has a vital interest in Nicaragua? Certainly, the
regional nations (i.e. the nations of Central and South
America) are increasingly achieving economic sovereignty
from U.S. corporations (supported by U.S. forces for
over 50 years) and in kind are seeking to unify the region,
independent of U.S, influence, in order to achieve a na-
tionalistic and regionalistic identity. This is required if
these nations expect to ever make something of
themselves and become a valuable member of the world
community of nations.

Also, logically speaking, is it not fair and substantial to
consider that the U.S. private contributions to the
Nicaraguan opposition are essentially designed in a ma
ner where U.S, corporations are perpetuating American
involvement; thus victory, so that when the next regime
assumes power, U.S, businessmen will gain valuable
economic concessions? Is it possible that Reagan is going
‘along with the U.S. business interests, looking away from
“Contadora" — the only group who has a legitimate in-
terest in Nicaragua's future — barring of course, strategic
interests common to all of Western Hemisphere nations.

Certainly Reagan is conducting a policy which satiates
irresponsible U.S. capitalists, who will probably take
economic privleges interests away from Central
Americans. Is this not simply an extension or variation of
the same U.S. policy that has faced defeat after defeat in
Central and South America for nearly a century?

| find it hard to swallow that the average U.S, citizen's
contributions to U.S, private Contadora supporters could
gain 20-25 million dollars — This money is coming in
from other sources undoubtedly, and is an all out effort
to undermine the legitimate economic opportunities,
sovereign rights and freedoms of the region's
nnatives/citizens that would emerge when the region final-
ly realizes pea

Maybe for the short term Reagan can justify this policy
(especially since he would likely lose considerable support
from his “pockets full-o'-money” constituency). In the
long term, however, by allowing U.S, businessmen to
“injustly" exploit Central American resources, using the
U.S. government as a guarantor, President Reagan is

simply adding fuel to the capitalist/communist bonfire.

Eventually, if not already, countries that are comprised
of Contadora will become totally disenchanted with US:
“strong-arm tactics,” and begin looking elsewhere for
economic allies. b

By a long shot, there is nothing wrong with capitalistn;
in fact it is proven to be a far better ideal thant "com!
munism and socialism, butonly as long as capitalists exér=
cise restraint, such that they can recognize their respon
sibility to their country (which provides for, and secures
their right to be capitalists). This is more vital. than ex-
cessive profits.

Are we, have we always been, conduc
South American policy in the spirit’ of
or in the spirit of capitalism?

Is it right for the government to secure American
business's interests outside of America, if and when those
businesses maintain a policy of excessive profits and ex-
ploitation which causes a country, albeit a small third-
world country unable to care for their citizens, to lose
faith in everything America has stood for, and all the
things that have made America a good country.?

Perhaps capitalists who ignore their patriotic duty are
largely responsible for countries who give up all faith in
America and turn elsewhere?

Look back upon Central American history. Hasn’t it
been the U.S.A. which is always propping up factional
governments?

A fine example is Salvadore Allende Gossens (as
documented by Seymour Hirsch, in his book The Price of
Power), of Chile. Anaconda Copper, and enormous U.S.
corporation, for years conducted business with Chile, But
eventually the people of Chile sought to receive a fair
percentage of the profits from Chilean copper exports via
Anaconda,

At first Chile was furious when they discovered that
their economy had been denied billions of dollars. Then
the Chileans sought to renegotiate the contract with
Anaconda. Finally, since Anaconda would not negotiate
in good faith, Chile simply nationalized the copper min-
ing industry.

Futilely, Anaconda reproached the White House and
persuaded President Nixon to try and generate a coup to
thwart Chile's nationalization of the copper industry.
When the U.S. public learned of this, U.S. firms dealing
in Chile even donated their own funds to the CIA in order
to generate a coup. However, the coup failed,

Therefore it was no surprise that Chile booted the
U.S.A, out of the country. The U.S. government had
been persuaded to bend every constitutional rule in the
constitution in favor of securing continued exploitation
of Chile's copper mines. It is no small wonder that Chile
turned her back on America,

Chile happens to be only one shining example of
government abuse by U.S. businessmen who failed to act
in good faith. There are more instances as well, and if
America is not careful, it may soon add to the list Central
American nations,

actually killing people, or breaking laws in real life. Role-
playing games deal with the realm of fantasy worlds we
create in our imaginations where the personas of in-
dividuals we are “role-playing” may (or may not) do
these things, All these actions take place in fantasy worlds
that are real in the sense that the Star Trek Universe and
Tolkien's Middle Earth are real: in the context of the
stofy: These universes have their own laws in the same
‘sense that our (real) world has laws, and the personas, or
characters, abide by these laws in the same way that we
abide by the laws and regulations of our university, com-
munity, state, and country.

In no way do we promote the belief that an individual
actually should go out and do what their character does in
the game. The most important thing to remember is that
it is only a game, a place where the imagination can run
free of the restraints of classes, work, and othier everyday
burdens people face, so they can have fun, and enjoy the
experience of the game.

Reform needed

To the Editor:

Last year a series of articles were published in the ASP
concerning the Office of Minority Affairs and Eric
Bowman, I feel these articles were a joke!

‘The consensus among the staff and members of Stu-
dent Association was that the office was considered wor-
thless because of its inefficiency. At one point the present
SA President informed me that the office would be li-
quidated if it did not perform its duties this year, leaving
minorities no representation in school politics.

The idea of establishing a Minority Affairs Office is
commendable if the office is going to function and
benefit not only the minority population of SUNY, but
the cultural organizations as well.

1 also strongly suggest that Student Association con-
ccem itself with establishing a process in which positions
are not allocated through one simple interview consisting
of ten simple questions, making them a ‘grab bag" for
personal favorites.

By appointing a committee of elected officials (like
Central Council) to interview and evaluate the students
who apply for positions, the process would be considered
fair and proper; making it difficult for appointments to
become popularity contests!

Registering thanks

To the Editor:

I'd like this to serve as an open letter of thanks to all
those who have helped to make the voter registration
drive so successful this year, To date we have registered
3,500 students, as compared to last years Student Action
total of 4,000 and we still have a full three weeks of voter
registration to go. The whole committee has just been
great as well as the acceptance and understanding shown
by the whole campus community. A special thanks also
must go out to the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority and Delta
Omichron Tau fraternity, for without their help, the drive
wouldn't have been nearly as effective, Thanks,

—Larry Hartman

Casting call

To the Editor:

SUNYA's Theatre Council is a group of people who
share a common interest, that is, working on a theatrical
production. The council offers anyone with an interest in
the theatre a chance to get involved. Theatre productions
require a lot of work, in areas such as acting, directing,
sound, lighting, set construction, design, props, make up,
costumes, stage managing, etc. You do not have to major
in theatre to get involved. There are various faculty and
student productions throughout the year and each show
always needs a helping hand. Give yourself an artistic
outlet, come to the general interest meeting Thursday,
September 26 at 4:30 p.m. in the arena theatre, PAC.

a salad and a white wine spritzer.

&. He shaves.

done in all these years’? to change the
situation?

“The connection between racism here
and racism in South Africa becomes very
apparent when you're in jail,”"McAlevey
said,

“Jail is not a pleasant place, but it really
brings out a lot of things that are ironic,’
said McAlevey adding that a large percen-
tage of the inmates were minorities while
those same races are just a fraction of the
total population at most SUNY schools,

McAlevey said the prison was crowded
but that all inmates had their own room
with a sink and toilet, a window that was
frosted so as to obstruct vision, two sets of
window bars and “Food if you have a
stomach.”

The third person imprisoned, Michelle
Wilsey, became SASU’s Organizing Diree-
tor after graduating last May. She said she
hoped a divestiture notion would pass at
next Tuesday's Board of Trustees Meeting,

SUNY pressed charges against the
demonstrators, Wilsey said, in an attempt
to stifle the opinions of those who believe,
Americans should not invest in apartheid.
“I think they're (SUNY) trying to stop
students from speaking out against apar-
theid and they're trying to discourage peo-
ple from coming to their meetings,”” she
said.

Wilsey cited the arrest last Wednesday
of Scott Palmer, a University of Buffalo
student, as proof of SUNY’s intentions.
Palmer was arrested for writing in chalk
on the sidewalk the sentence: How many
SUNY students must go to jail before
SUNY divests?

Palmer said he was arrested becuase
“they (SUNY) don’t like people coming in
giving money to the University to knot
they are in South Africa’ and to in-
timidate other protestors. “I think it
definitely backfired,” he added.

MacDougal said Palmer's charges were
‘basically dismissed" by a notion called
an Adjournment on Contemplation of
Dismissal. The motion means all charges
are dropped unless Palmer is arrested
again within the next six months.

‘According to MacDougal, the presiding
judge, Thomas Keegan, stated at Palmer's
trial that: “if writing in’ chalk on public
property is illegal, we'd have to arrest
every kid playing hopscotch on the
sidewalk.”

‘About 20 people, including families and
neighbors of those imprisoned, gathered
outside the jail before midnight to
welcome McAlevey, Wilsey and Wilson
back. Their vigil followed eight nights of
vigil outside the SUNY Central building
during the time the three were terion

“We've got the record, as long as
everyone has their tags, so let's get go-
ing," Notre Dame junior class president
James Domagalski of Buffalo, N.Y.,
announced before the start.

100 people had registered
before Huey Lewis’ ‘Power of Love"
boomed from a ten-foot-high bank of
speakers to begin the first round in the
traditional children's game.

Droves of students soon were handing

registration tags to judges as 100 par-

ticipants were eliminated in each round,
Organizers planned to award a color
television to the last remaining contes~
tant. The numbered registration tags
will be submitted for verification by
Guinness officials in New York,

Domagalski said the idea for the stunt
came to him after a friend suggested
breaking some kind of world record to
warm up the new academic ug
started going through the Guinness
book and I thought, why not this?” he
said, Q

SUNY Divestment Saga:

THE DIVESTMENT ISSUE HEATS UP

Divestment-the idea that public monies
entrusted to an organization should not be
invested in companies that do business in
morally unjustifiable societies like South
Africa, has been a student concern for
many years. Within the last year, however,
events in South Africa have pushed the
issue to the forefront of the “student
movement”’ in the United States. What
follows is a chronological list of SUNY
divestment activities. by the Student
Association of the State
University(SASU):

April 24, 1985: The SUNY Board of
Trustees votes down a resolution calling
for complete divestment. Twenty-six

students are arrested later that day for tak-
ing over a first-floor office in the SUNY
Central office building in downtown
Albany. Twenty students plead guilty,
nineteen of whom pay fines and one, Scott
Palmer, of the University at Buffalo,
spends eight days in jail,

May 22, 1985: Students and SASU staff
sleep out on the front lawn of SUNY Cen-
tral in support of a resolution against
future SUNY investment in South Africa,
Eight state legislators join the students for
Part of the time to show support. The next
day the motion is defeated by the Trustees,
About 70 students hold a mock funeral
march to the state Capitol, complete with
coffin.

June 25, 1985: New student trustee and

SASU President Jane McAlevey in-
troduces a new resolution against future
investments. The motion is tabled.

July 10, 1985: McAlevey is voted onto
the Investment Committee by the Trustees,
She asks for a special meeting to take place
in September to decide the divestment
issue, but the meeting is never scheduled,

August 15, 1985: After a seven hour
trial the “SUNY are convicted of
third degree criminal trespassing and
sentenced to either 15 days in jail or a $250
fine and a promise to not engage in further
Protest activities for one year. Two
students pay the fine, four opt for jail
terms,

September 11, 1985: Three of the

“SUNY six’? begin serving their sentences.

Unlike most Invitationals, the meet was
scored using the multi-dual meet method
where each team is compared to the other

riers ran four meets in one day. The scor-
ing was as follows: Army, 15-46; Iona,
15-46; C.W. Post, 19-36; and Marist,
23-34. These results presently give Albany
a record of 0-4,

Ithaca football fans create festive atmosphere

By Rob Isbitts
Last Friday afternoon, while most of the
student population was driving 87 south, I
was on my way to Ithaca, New York to
broadcast the Great Danes’ football

opener versus Ithaca College for WCDB.
Ithaca is a Division III school, but they
didn’t have Division IIT fans.

As I parked my car on Saturday morn-
ing to 0 up to the pres box, my partner,
Phil Lewis, and I saw a
crowd of 100 students in Friday
the parking lot. ‘They
wee’ sanding by tna SPOFtS
cars with bottles,in their
hands, and: we quickly Column
realizéd that this was Ithaca’s version of a
tailgate party!!" Now that was something.

Tknow that tailgating is a regular part of
most pro,and Division I college games, but
this was different, It showed a pride and
spirit in their school, and some pride in
themselves. Like Albany, Ithaca is a town
that cannot see a bigtime football game
without driving a hundred miles: But their
school.team is there, and football is a fun
game to watch at any level, Thats the at-
titude thgt was conveyed to me as I talked
with one of the Ithaca broadcasters.

By game time, the stands were full,
about 6000 people in attendance. Not a
major league figure by any means, but
large enough and loud enough to create a
festive atmosphere, a fun time, and even
an attempt at “The Wave." The school
was there, and so was the local communi-
ty. This was an event as much as it was a
game.

The obvious question at this juncture is
“What's the point?” Am I saying that
people here spend their Saturdays wasting
time? No, not at all. I know as well as the
next guy that the world does not end with
Albany State football, and although the
chances of an Albany player or opponent
reaching the professional level are slim or
none (with Slim having recently left town),
there is still a good time available by get-
ting out to Heritage Park or University
Field for a couple of hours on a Saturday,
The scene at South Hill Field in Ithac
New York last Saturday certainly showed
that.

I was quite pleased to hear what the Si
detit Association has planned in prepa
tion for tomorrow's home opener: A pep
rally, a party, and the professional at-
mosphere of Heritage Park. The scene at

that Ithaca game was something that 1
never expected to see from a Division IIT
school. I'm very interested to see what
SUNY Albany does under a similar set of
circumstances.

The Danes did not play outstanding
footBall Saturday, but after all, they were
matched against a team that is as talented
as any in the state. Fortunately, the same
cannot be said for this week’s opponent,
RPI. . .Coach Ford has an attitude which
many of us can learn from: “Work as hard
as we possibly can, live up to our potential,
play the game of football with a lot of
courage and enthusiasm, and let the chips
fall where they may."*. . .Ithaca's football
coverage includes a campus radio station,
a commercial station, and even

V. . .The New York Thruway is not the

Men harriers overpowered at West

By Dave Blette

The Albany State men’s cross-country
tcam kicked off their season last Friday,
September 16, at the Army Cross-Country
Invitational.

The meet took place at a golf course near
by the Westpoint Military Academy. The
harriers faced Division 1 powerhouses, Ar-
ny and Tona, as well as Division II C.W.
Post and Division I Marist. Due mainly to
the strength of the competition, this early
in the season, the harriers came away

winless. Despite this, there were some
strong individual performances.

The two men named as runners of the
meet were senior Chuck Bronner and
junior John “little-boy'” Glaser, who plac-
ed 20th and 26th respectively in the race.
Leading the way for the Danes was Trevor
Hash, a sophomore transfer, who placed
18th overall with a time of 26°51 for the
hilly 5-mile course. Bronner, running one
of the strongest mental races of his life,
was eight seconds behind Hash, Next came

co-captain Craig Parlato in 22nd with a
time of 27'06, Rounding out the top seven
were: Glaser with a time of 27'15; junior
Tim Hoff, 32nd with a time of 27'31;
senior Kevin Sheehan, 35th with a time of
27°40 and co-captain Ian Clemento, 38th
with a time of 27°47,

Other Albany State runners in the meet
were Vernon Miller, Paul Dietz, Pat Paul,
David Blette and Rami Hyari,

The meet took place on a sloping hill of

The Albany State women’s tennis
team has often gone unrecognized in the
past because of the perennial success of
the men’s team. That shouldn't last long
if they continue to play as they have so
far this season,

The netwomen have begun this 1985
year in impeccable fashion, winning
their first two matches over Union, 4-3,
and Oneonta, 7-2
I'm happy with the wins," said
rookie coach Linda Myers, who coached
at Colby last season. ‘But we still have
a long way to go. But it is true that the
team doesn’t get as much attention as it
should.””

Tomorrow they will be put to a for-
midable test, when the Danes meet up
with Middlebury College, a top-ranked
school from New England. Myers is
hoping the match serves as a fine tuneup
for their big meet against SUNYAC
rival Plattsburgh Saturday.

I'm not concerned with the scores
against Middlebury,” Myers said. ‘I
just hope we play well, 1 would like to
see us win a few matches, though."

‘Against Union last week, the Danes
won a squeaker, 4-3. The meet score was
deadlocked 3-3 before Lisa Valins had
completed her match at third singles.
Valins copped the first set 7-5 but suf-
fered a breakdown in the second set, los-
ing 3-6. But with all eyes on Valins
court, she routed her opponent, 6-0 to
secure Albany’s season opening victory.

In the Oneonta meet, the Danes had
little trouble whipping their SUNY rival
out west, dropping only two of nine
matches.

Women booters drop two

By Mike McAdam

After their impressive, come-from-
behind victory over Skidmore, the Albany
State women’s soccer team came back
down to earth with two defeats at the
hands of Division I opponents in the
Flower City Tournament, held at the
University of Rochester.

‘The effect of youth and inexperience

showed itself early as Albany fell behind
2-0 by halftime against their first-round
opponent, Colgate.
‘We looked really dead and played with
our heads down,” said Albany Coach
‘Amy Kidder. "We got down by two goals,
which will kill you.

Eileen Goffey opened the scoring for
Colgate at 26:44 of the first half on a
header assisted by Judi Conry. That was
all Colgate needed as the Albany offense
‘was shut down. A goal by Bevin Murphy
at 19:32 closed out the scoring in the first
half and further demoralized a young
Albany team, whose 20-member roster in-
cludes 16 underclassmen.

Albany did not force a single corner kick
throughout the game, an indication of the
lethargic attack which failed to show life
until late in the second half.

With so many young players facing a
Division | opponent for the first time, ‘we
had trouble sparking anything," lamented
Kidder. “*We didn’t start playing until the
last ten minutes."*

Colgate blanked sophomore forward
Joanna — Lasaride: who scored twice
against Skidmore, on three shots on goal,
and freshman forward Joan McNan
applied pressure with 2 more shots on
goal.

But it wasn't nearly enough as Colgate
coasted to the 3-0 victory. Sue Steele

rounded out the scoring when she put, one
past Karen Campbell at 36:46 of the se-
cond half. Campbell, who recorded eight
saves, was inserted for starting goalie
Maureen Keller, who allowed the two first
half goals.

Albany went on to face Holy Cross, a
first-round loser to the University of
Rochester, in the consolation round on
Saturday. Albany's consolation did not
come in the form of a victory, however, as
they were downed 3-0 by another Division
1 rival,

The Danes’ defense did derive satisfac-
tion from holding the pair of Holy Cross
All-Americans shotless. “We put Cheryl
Hensen on their strong forward and she
kept her from even getting a shot," Coach
Kidder beamed. “The problem was that
we made the adjustment defensively but
not offensively,’ she explained, as the
Danes were shut out again.

Because of the shadowing techni
ed on the All-Americans, “we would often
make beautiful crosses on attack but no
one would be there to receive them.” The
commitment to defense, handicapped the
offense in what would otherwise have been
a close game.

Holy Cross scored off the opening
kickoff when a combination of Albany
defensive errors opened up some passing
lanes, resulting in the quick goal. Holy
Cross registered another fluke goal in the
second half when the ball went in off a
Dane defender,

“You can't afford to put yourself down
@ goal, especially in soccer, Coach Kider
said. For the Danes, falling behind early
has become a habit, and the inexperienced
squad is learning the hard way that catch-
up is a hard game to play,

Presbie leads Albany State booters to victory

By Cathy Errig

STAFP WRITER

The confidence-building win that coach Bill
Schieffelin had hoped would come prior to the
Albany State men’s soccer team’s shift into the
meat of their schedule materialized Inst Saturday in
the form of a 2-0 victory over Manhattanville Col-
lege and a 4-1 victory over New Paltz.

“Although the score of the Manhattanville game
was the same as that of the Oswego game," said
Schieffelin, ‘it was a totally different game. We
totally dominated this game, We were the more
talented team."

Schieffelin cites a more effective defense as a ma-
jor factor behind the convincing win.

“We substituted freshman Doug Deim at stoy
perback for this game which worked very well,”*
said Schieffelin, “And freshman Mike DiValentino
had a good, consistent defensive game, also. Now,
we need cohesiveness in the middle of the field in
order to neutralize any possible counter-attack. Our
defense is inexperienced and there's a question as to
how it'll hold up under pressure. We need the mid-
field to help the defense."*

The team’s offensive punch was supplied by
freshmen Eric Cifuentes, who scored the first
Albany goal 35 minutes into the first half, and Jim
Vermilyea, who added the second Dane goal 20
minutes into the second half. .

“We really should have scored more in this
game,” said Schieffelin. ‘*Forward Ed Rogan also
had a good game and co-captain Tihan Presbie
helped out on some combination plays. We had the
ball on their side of the field for most of the game,
the 2-0 score doesn’t really reflect the domination.
‘That the game was won as a solid team effort as

opposed to the performance of several individuals
further pleased Schieffelin,

“It's nice to have some stars on your team, but
it’s more important to have a good blend," said
Schieffelin. ““We could have won this game more
impressively, but a win is still a win and I'd rather
have a win than a loss.””

The Danes next opponent was New Paltz, a team
returning to NCAA competition after a seven year
absence.

“New Paltz is our opening conference game,"
said Schieffelin prior to the game, ‘‘and we'd like to
win convincingly, 1 guess we're the favorite going
into the game, but I'd rather not think like that.
That's what upsets are made of.””

Schieffelin needn't have worried, as the men
booters, led by Tihan Presbie’s hat-trick, soundly
defeated their opponent to raise their seasonal
record to 2-1. Presbie first put the Danes on the
scoreboard with a goal scored five minutes into the
first half, assisted by Rogan, Vermilyca add_d a se-
cond goal seven minutes later, assisted by Presbie.
Presbie closed the Danes' first-half scoring on a
penalty shot,

Presbie's third goal was scored unassisted 20
minutes into the second half.

“We're improving more and more in cach
game," said co-captain Carl loos, “Right now,
we're at the same point we were at last season, and
we could really go either way. We've got a lot of
young players and right now we're starting to get
together. From here, we can only go up.

The Danes’ next game will be at Albany against
LeMoyne College Saturday at 2:00, It is the last
game before the Danes move into what Schieffelin
describes as the heart of their schedule. a

By Marc Berman
SPORTS EDITOR

For two straight seasons, ‘the
Albany State football team came
out of its season-opener against
Whaca College without the ser-
vices of one of their key players,

In 1983, running back Dave
Soldini went down for the year
with a broken leg and quarter-
back Mike Milano suffered the
same fibula break in 1984, At last
check, all bones were intact after
the Danes’ 1985 season opener at
Ithaca last Saturday. The same
cannot be said, however, about
the team's spirit,

In a nip-and-tuck defensive
battle that mirrored last season’s
game in many ways, the Ithaca
Bombers, ranked numero uno in
Sports Illustrated’s pre-season
poll, topped the underrated,
underacclaimed and unranked
Danes, 15-10,

But the Danes had golden
chances to make a certain na-
tional ¢ look foolish.

‘hdown and a two-

Albany found itself nine yards

from the end zone courtesy of
their safety Wayne Anderson,
who twice turned punting situ:

tions into the Danes’ most consis-
tent offensive plays of the day,

Ona fourth-and-three from the
Albany 34, Anderson, an upman
in the Danes’ punting formation,
took the snap and rambled 10
yards for the first down, The
Danes offense stalled again and
on fourth down, Anderson called

Anderson passed to Kerry Carroll
for the first down at the Ithaca
32.

“1 thought I'd catch them off-
guard on the second fake,” said
Anderson. “If it didn't work,
Coach Ford would have had my
head."*

Ithaca coach Jim Butterfield
was smiling in his office after-
wards, but when the subject turn-
ed to the consecutive fake punts,

rin quickly disappeared,

“Damn right I was upset about
the fakes,” said Butterfield, "We
worked on it at practice and we
should have been ready for it,
They knew it was coming, but
when the chips were down, we
aidn’t come through."*

Ro Mitchell, who was the
leading rusher for Albany with $7
yards, ran three times to bring the
ball to the nine, first and goal,
Dave Soldini, who tore rib car-
tilage in a scrimmage versus
Wesleyan and was '70 percent ef
fective’ according to Coach Bob
Ford, was stopped cold on two
straight runs,

‘On third down, Caesar Revano
wheeled left and threw an in-
complete pass to Chris Haynor in

a nice play," said

‘Butterfield, “They complete that

pass and get the two points, and
we are in trouble,’

Next came a decision that Ford
will defend forever, even though
there were some doubters. On
fourth down from the nine, Ford

Danes five down with 10:50 to

any closer.

“Nine yards is a hell of a
distance and the field starts to

“There was plenty, plenty of

Mitchell, a key to the drive, felt
Ford might have goofed, “Pi

guys did too. But there was still so

Mike Middaugh,. the second-

Danes look to rebound vs. RPI at Heritage Park

TAR UPS
The Danes will be playing their first home game at
night since the late 1970's.

By Dean Chang
MANAGING EDITOR

It took 11 years for RPI to recover from the
humiliating defeats it suffered against the Albany State
Great Dane football team,

The teams signed a four year contract to play each
other in 1973, Two years of lopsided contests ended the
series prematurely, as RPI sought to avoid any further
embarrassment,

The team that will face the Danes at Heritage Park
Saturday night is not the team of a decade ago. Last year
the Engineers posted their first winning record since 1980,
going 5-4-1 under Head Coach Kevin Earl.

“Their program has improved since the last time we
played them," said Albany Head Coach Bob Ford.
“They have some pretty decent athletes. Their offensive
line is huge — they must average 240 pounds. They're a
big football team, and obviously an intelligent team."

The Danes are coming off a tough loss to Ithaca Col-
lege, the top ranked team in the state, Ford said the team
played well as a whole, but not well enough to beat
Ithaca.

“On a scale from 1-10, offensively we were about a 6,""
said Ford. “Defensively, maybe a 7 or 7.5, It wasn’t
enough to beat an Ithaca, and it might not be enough to
beat RPI."

The outcome of the game might be determined by the
absence of two key Albany players, fullback Dave Soldini
and safety Wayne Anderson,

Soldini tore rib cartilage in a preseason scrimmage
against Wesleyan and was playing at 70 percent against
Ithaca, according to Ford.

“It’s one of those things you can play with," said
Ford. ‘The question is how much will it hinder his per-
formance, We rested him this week; he wasn't even dress-
ed. He'll be dressed Saturday, but we hope we don’t have
to play him,

“That might sound like we're cocky going against RPI,

but that’s not the case," Ford added. “We have eight
more games and we need Soldini for them, Without him,
we'd be in trouble."*

Ro Mitchell will move over to fullback, while Dana
Melvin and Caesar Revano will start at halfback for the
Danes. Both Albany tightends, Scott Reagan and Scott
Barker have sprained ankles, making their availability a
question mark,

Another obstacle in the Danes path to victory is RPI
wide receiver Tom Woods, an All-American last year as a
sophomore. Stopping Woods is a near-impossible task
for the Dane defense, especially without Anderson, who
was suspended for one week for disciplanary reasons.

“Wayne's probably the best athlete in our program,
said Ford. “But we have to build a football program, and
not one based on individuals.”

A key player returns to the Dane defense as defensive
end Dennis Murphy will make his season debut against
RPI; Murphy sat out against Ithaca with a concussion.
Ford said that with Murphy, Albany would have beaten
Ithaca,

Albany starting quarterback Mike Milano was ‘a little
rusty"? against Ithaca, Ford said, “He wasn't where he
was last year against Ithaca, He's gained some confidence
after that game, but he still has a ways to go to get where
he wants to be."

For the Engineers to get where they want to be, they'll
have to beat teams like Albany. RPI lost their first game
to Coast Guard 22-9; Albany will not be any easier,

"We have a great deal of respect for Albany and their
program,"” said Earl, **We're going to have to take a few
more chances against them to win, which means throwing
the ball in critical situations,

“We're not going to throw caution to the wind,"” add-
ed Earl, “but we will take a few:more chances on key
plays."

RPI failed to establish a running game against Coast

I was a red satin bridesmaid last Sunday, My 24-year-old cousin, Cindy, was the
white satin bride — the first of the cousins to. go... “. *
Tt was a two o'clock wedding, but the bridal party met at ten to have pictures
taken in every combination of family and friends, in front of every piece of fur-
niture, under every tree, and in every humanly possible pose. Mimosas made the
morning pass quickly. and painlessly, but'I think that in the-later pictures a lot of us
had our legs crossed, There weren't many rest breaks.
During that morning I must have stared at Cindy as much as the photographer
did. She was living the fantasy that almost everyone dreams at some point in life.
Cindy caught one of my stares, floated over to me, and whispered, ‘I'm having my
gown boxed for you, Lor. You're next.” ‘
I'm pretty sure my hair was standing up under my red satin hat, but I managed to
laugh and say, “First I'll have to.talk someone into it,” Then I had another mimosa.
The ceremony. was‘magical. | stood behind: the canopy, facing the bride and
groom, and waited for the transformation to take place. Cindy's words, “You're
next," echoed in my head. The sun was strong, the drinks were strong, and soon it
was me under the canopy. I was imagining my own wedding,
It was a strange daydream. Thégroom had no face: That left him rather
anonymous, Another really bizarre factor was that there was no priést or rabbi; my
father was performing the ceremony. He was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, and he
had a raisin in his nose. These were his words: :
This young man, What'-his-name, has been chosen by- my

daughter, Loren, as her first husband. It is the pain of a father to realize

his child’s folly, but, out of. love for her,-it is a pain that must be en-

dured in silence, Only experience. will prove that a father’s judgement

is never wrong. :
Then he faced the guests and asked, “Anyone. got a tissue?” Upon receiving no
reply, he picked the raisin out of his nose and flung it into the audience,
With that, I said a tearful thanks to my dad and assured him‘of my determination
to marry the faceless man. We said our vows, exchanged rings, and I'kissed the
void where the groom's lips'should have been. The deed was done.
I snapped back to reality when a bee got caught in the netting of myhat. Con-
vinced that it was going for my red lipstick, | was pleased that a,seemingly or-
namental veil had a practical purpose. When the crisis was over, | looked under the
canopy. The bride was Cindy again, and | was just a red bridesmaid in a bee net.
She kissed the groom, and that was, it —,one cousin gone.
The white satin gown is stored away somewhere now. And somewhere, maybe,
there’s a man with a face to complete the daydream. The only thing I'm sure of is
that my dad/will be ready, raisin-in nose, whenever | am,

Careers For Liberal Arts Majors

Penguin Books
143 pages, $6.95
re you an English or history or
Ass major? Does the thought of
graduation make you quake with the
fear that you'll never find a decent job? Has
anyone (old you the one that the only job
waiting for a liberal arts major is a place on
the welfare line? Well take heart; they're
wrong. According to Manuel Flores-
Esteves, author of Life After Shakespeare,
Careers for Liberal Arts Majors, there are
jobs out there; In his book he lists 30 fields
which a liberal arts major can enter,

‘Robyn Stein

FloresEsteves realizes that it isn't easy
for a humanities student to find a job after
graduation because the networking just
isn’t there. “As a rule, business and
technical majors have the support of
substantiye job placement programs. On
the other hand, those who pursue studies
in the liberal arts find themselves without
the guidance they need in order to make
the transition into the professional world
‘There is no bridge to cross the gulf from
student to professional.” Flores-Esteves
believes that his book will help bridge that
gulf, And indeed it does.

Liberal Arts majors will find this book an
invaluable source of career possibilities
open to them. Each field is one in which
there are “professional positions open to
the holder of a bachelor’s degree.” Some of
the fields discussed are advertising,
business management, consumer protec-
tion, finans fund. raising, insurance, lob-
bying, personnel, publishing, real estate,

sales, and of course writing,

After each entry there is a brief descrip-
tion of the responsibilities the job encom-
passes, and the skills needed to be suc-
cessful at it. Also discussed are the areas of
specialization found in that field. At the
end of each entry is one list of books in
which further research and information on
careers in that field can be found, as well as
a second list of directories that list the
names and addresses of companies within:
that field.

Although the book is largely comprised
‘of the’ career descriptions, it also includes
four short, but useful sections on writing
resumes, looking for jobs, job interviews,
and internships.

recalls the smoky bars and honky tonks he
lived in,

The album shows off the best of both
Byrd's originals and choice covers. Bob
Smad's standard “Junco Partner” is given a
necessary reading; the same goes for ‘Fess’
definite arrangement of "Stag-O-Lee.”
Hank William's “Jumbalaya” seems even
more appropriate tn the context than the
original (and Brown's fiddle sawing doesn’t
hurt)

“Doin’ It" exemplifies his’ keyboard at-
tack; economic, joyous, and_ instinctive.
Occassionally, he shifts the beat and uses a
right hand trill as the harmonica accom:
paniment of left hand improvisation; a

Longhair trademark. Gatemouth crashes in
for the bluesy middle choruses adding, a
stinging bite to the boogie backdrop.

The opening track, “Hey Now Baby,” is
@ show case for his wonderful vocals -
crooning, growling, and moaning his way
through; he uses his mouth as an instru:
ment in the blues/jazz tradition, The lyrics
fall solidly into the New Orleans party
tradition with occassional patios (Cajun
jibberish),

Other highlights include the Ahmet
Ertegun soul chestnut “Mess Around” and
the wonderfully’ self-promoting “(They
‘Call Me) Dr, Professor Longhair.”

Rock and Roll Gumbo is not only a good
album but an important album - a state:
ment of music history.

4a Aspects

A word about pretty girls:
They don’t usually date ugly guys.

It’s a familiar scene; you and your friend, Joe McWASP, captain of the football team, are
leaning back against the bar at WT’s when across your field of vision strolls the most
gorgeous woman you've ever seen, that night anyway.

Now, 498 times out of five hundred, that woman is going to be walking next to a guy
who looks just like Joe, walks like Joe, talks like Joe, and expands two feet to either side
when he flexes, just like Joe.

Once out of every five hundred times, that woman will be alone, causing Joe to im-
mediately expand two feet to either side and leave you at the bar as he follows her.

And once out of every five hundred times, that girl will be walking with a guy so skinny,
so plain, or so downright ugly that Joe turns to you and says, “How come the prettiest girls
always date the ugliest guys?”

They don't, . always.

But sometimes they do.

Ugly Guy Erik of Paris tries to use his “personality” to impress Christine. Ugly guys can
often get pretty strange.

date, for an ugly guy, is a challenge far beyond any faced by his more attractive counter-

parts, Not only does the ugly guy have to contend with the same basic problems inherent

in this society's dating formula that every other guy must leam to deal with, he is further
hampered by dandruff, scabs, large moles above his eyebrows, or whatever else his particular
repulsive feature might happen to be. This puts a lot of pressure on his “personality.”

Now, to most college students, when the word “personality” arises in a conversation, it’s pret-
ty obvious that the person being discussed is at least somewhat ugly, because if he were good-
looking, no one would care about his personality. Because of this, the basic ugly guy
understands that to be socially acceptable, he must be able to use his personality as a weapon.
He must be witty, urbane, and charming... . moreso than his counterparts, the normal-to-good-
looking guys, because these people can also rely on their looks. In the real world, the ugly guy
understands that to be popular with the girls, or even tolerated by girls, he must cultivate the
type of personality that will make girls wish he wasn't so ugly. Once they start thinking that, the
ugly guy says to himself, at least I’ve got a chance.

ASKING

Ugly guys invite girls out on dates very rare-
ly (at least, ugly guys who realize their level of
physical attractiveness do), and when they do, it
invariably takes them much too long a time to
do so, as they will cheerfully spend upwards of
a month agonizing over whether or not to ask.

‘This is because the ugly guy understands that
he will probably be turned down when he asks,
so the longer he puts it off and attempts to get
to know the girl better beforehand, the longer
he can feel like he’s actually got a shot.

O.K., so let’s get a little unrealistit and
assume you've asked a git! out on a date, and
she’s accepted. Now, how to handle it. The
pressure. is still on, because if you relax and
begin to enjoy yourself now, it’s all over. Per-
sonality, remember, personality. It's okay to be
yourself, but be yourself well,

DATING

On a date, the ugly guy is working for one
thing, that pinnacle of ugly guy sexuality, the
good-night kiss, Any higher form of physical
pleasure will prove too stimulating for an ugly
guy's senses, and he will, undoubtedly, lapse in-
to a coma or die instantaneously. Of course,
there are exceptions to the rule, but whatever

the case, the pig-ugly guy must enter into his
big date (actually, any date for an ugly guy is a
big date) with a thoroughly planned, perfectly
executed strategy, which centers itself around
the all-important kiss.

Three popular ugly guy dating alternatives
are:
1,The Movie - the universal ugly guy dating
arena. This alternative offers the ugly guy the
advantage of darkness, No one can see his face,
not even (and this is key) his date, who is liable
to forget just how hideous he actually looks.
Also, the cinema frees the ugly guy from his
conversational obligations, allowing him to rest
his supercharged “personality.” Furthermore, if
the movie is good, it puts his date in a good
mood, and she would be more willing to ...
(dare we say it?) kiss the ugly guy good-night.
2.The Bowling Alley - A great release for the
pent-up frustrations common to all ugly guys.
The two most popular bowling strategies are to
either bowl so well that the date will be terribly
impressed with the ugly guys athletic prowess
and bowling skill, or bowling so poorly that the
date feels so sorry for the ugly guy, and doesn’t
have the heart to tell him he’s a toad later, when
he tries to kiss her goodnight.

Pretty Girls and Ugly Guys

3,The Bar - Back to basics. Today, only the most
chauvinistic (or desperate) ugly guy still resorts
to this callous, but almost surefire method of
getting the girl so drunk she forgets who she's
with, The biggest danger at the bar, however, is
that there are a lot of other guys around, and a
slightly tipsy date is liable to’ forget that she's
“his” date. Although an empty bar eliminates
the worry of good-looking sharks stealing the
date’s attention, sitting alone watching the
bartender wipe glasses puts a real strain on even
a drunken conversation.

Unrequited love has been a central topic in
Imale conversations since the first prehistoric
lturn-down, but it wasn’t until Shakespeare that
sensible advice on how to win your woman
became immortalized in literature. Although
Bill “Shake ‘em down” Shakespeare had no
trouble with women himself, he obviously
understood the plight of the ugly guy pretty
well. The opening of Macheth has the very
worldly villian, Iago, telling his friend Roderigo
again and again, “put but money in thy pocket.”
If you happen to be both ugly and rich, there's
hope. The theory was that sor.etime around
1977, at the height of the Carter administration
as it happened, women were no longer in-
terested in marrying or dating guys with money
unless they also had Alan Alda’s personality. In

If you happen to be both
ugly and rich, there’s hope.

ey ca
‘of your features, They are: 1a =

d iene

retrospective, it's easy to see that this was simp-
ly one'of those strange occassions when the
media, the communists, and the Alan Alda for
President Committee all teamed up to throw
that most industrious and gullible bunch’ of
American males, the ugly guys, off their guard.
Don't worry! Although most women will not
openly admit to being influenced by a date’s
financial position, well, let's just say that the
more things change the more they stay the
same. Chauvanistic as it sounds, it’s still basical-
ly true that most women allow themselves to
enjoy a night on the town, It's also true that a
lesser majority of women will go out with an
ugly guy “just one time” at least if he wedges an
offer to pick her up in his Porsche between his
asking her out and her answer. Lavish gifts
never hurt the cause. Plastic surgery is an option
that only the rich-ugly guy can seriously con-
sider. Big sprays of flowers, though hackneyed,
are still very effecti in helping a woman to
see just how “nice” an ugly guy can be
underneath his big sprays of blackheads.

Naturally, the majority of ugly guys find
themselves unable to travel the money route,
simply because there isn’t enough money for all
the ugly guys. For the ugly guy who finds the
“personality” option too exhausting, and the
money route too financially constraining, the
only suggestion would be to accept the fact that
he isn’t going to get a date in college, and to hit
the library and study hard enough so that, four
years later, he will be making enough money to
market himself successfully.

Or at least to keep himself drunk enough,

| often enough, so that he can forget it all.

‘my anaconda, ly guy, you're a very ugly guy.

The Ugly Guy in the job market

When an ugly guy goes out into'the real world, he’s facing the same serious disadvantage
he’s had to contend with all his life (he’s ugly), but the effects of ugliness become more in-
sidious, if less directly ego-threatening, as he enters the job market.

The college-graduate level ugly guy, while leaving all the sophomorific jokes about crook-
ed noses behind him, must now enter a world where his ability to sell himself is far more
important than his abilities,

So the ugly guy enters a situation where, if he forgets himself and begins to enjoy the
privilege of walking down a public thoroughfare without some bored college sophomore
coming up to him and asking him what all that crumbly yellow stuff in his eyes is, he’s in
danger of starving to death. You see, employers don’t ask you what the crumbly yellow
gunk in your eyes is, They just write down crumbly yellow gunk in eyes, and don't hire
you.

Don't forget, colleges are looking for ugly guys (see section on Intelligence), Out in the
job market, this situation is treacherously reversed; the betterlooking you are, so the, reason-
ing goes, the better you'll be able to deal with people, and the more valuable you'll be to
your particular employer.

It's a sad, ironic truth that after struggling through four years (sometimes more) of co-
educational learning, after attending countless hundreds of dorm parties only to find
yourself off in a corner somewhere, talking to a plant, after spending your every waking
moment in the library because when you get this diploma, you'll make yourself rich and
then maybe women will talk to you, you can’t get a job because nobody wants to be in the
same office as you for eight hours each day.

But as every well-adjusted ugly guy knows, there are Ways around everything, Indeed,
with the sudden emergence of the computer geek as a viable commercial employee, the
1980's ugly guy who knows what he’s doing can ride this wave of popularity right to the
top of some high paying profession. :

Something to Remember
(about Ugly Guys)
The best form of birth control is an ugly guy. They make the word “No” so easy to use,

Intelligence and The Ugly Guy

The genius and the ugly guy have become inextricably mixed in the minds of many. This
may have a great deal to do with Albert Einstein, who, while not being really ugly, did
have some rather unique grooming habits,

Some feel that brains are a sort of divine gift from God to the ugly guy. something like
"So you can think deep thoughts when you're alone in bed,”

Others feel that God simply enjoys taking the smartest minds, putting them in the ugliest
bodies, and watching them frantically scrambling to do something about it. This is the same
God who turned Lot's wife into a pillar of salt, remember, He obviously has a sense of

Tan Spelling

Bulbs flashed around thé house as police
photographers caught the: moment’ for
posterity’s sake. The guy in charge; the one
with the Indiana ‘Jones hat, wandered
about, searching’ for’ something.
“Anything,” noted Captain Collins, But
ait not, ‘aed to be found. Collins:
gently-lifted pillows, moved newspapers,
dissected garbage bags,’etc. He even went
59 far as to sift through ‘the kitty litter in
‘Gumby’s box. “Shit, noted Collins, who
liked to note things, “nothing but shit.”

Collins noted that Detective Rogers was
standing but two feet in front of him, and
proceeded to wipe his hands on the man’s

~toat. Collins then reached deep into his left
‘ket and pulled out a piece of chalk.
Handing it to Rogers, Collins said, “Do it
‘up, but don’t move him, I don’t know what
the hell to do, There's not’a clue, not a
Simark ‘on his face, not an object out :of
place. Nothing.”
+ Collins left the house in the quiet section
* pf town, walked past the inch thick yellow
ribbons reading “STAY BACK: POLICE
*ZONE,” arid’ into a dragnet of iron-willed
Teporters,

Carol Minterman, the on-the-run,
‘always-ready-with-a-mike trouble shooter
for Channel 24 News, stood poised for at-
tack. To her left, Quincy Marcus played
with his hair while telling his cameraan
to shoot him on his good side, Of which,
‘Minterman joked to no one in particular,
he had none. Marcus glowered, gave
Minterman the finger, and continued prim-
ping. Other rabid journalists sharpened
their teeth and claws, as well as their pen-
cils, while waiting for Collins.

. The distilled version of Collins’ explana-
tion was this: Walter Gaithersberg, age 42,
Was foung dead in the kitchen of his ranch
house at 534 Lomb Lane. There was no
evidence of forced entry, nor was there

J any motive for what is’ believed to have
been murder. A coroner's report was ex-
pected to. be released the following
Monday,

The report deliverd to Collins stated that
the sides of Gaithersberg’s head were cav-
‘ed in equally. Just how this was ac-
‘complished was beyond the coroner's
‘skills, Attached to the official report was a
little yellow piece ‘of paper with the
printed words, FROM THE DESK OF
GOD, along with a'bolt of lightning com
ing out of the ‘O,’ Mike Miner, Collin’s
longtime buddy and the county's coroner,
altered the note somewhat. It now read
FROM THE DESK OF A CLOD, Miner
also scrawled a short message: “Collins,
Sorry | can’t be of more help, But he should

not be in the refrigerator now, By the wa
call me if you're coming to dinner on Fri
day. (signed) M'n'’M"”

Collins: crumpled the message and
disposed) of it, He then thumbed further
through Miner's report. Pressure had to be
exact on both sides of the skull, as if
forceps were used. But no marks were
found, Whatever force crushed the skull
pushed the blood out of the sockets.

‘Shitt” shouted Collins, “How the hell
can'l make a case out of this. No motive,
no Weapon; just a fucking corpsel?”

Rogers ‘looked around the room, making
certain he had everyone's eye contact, and
tapped Collin’s ‘on the shoulder. “Why
don’t you ask Rod Serling?”

‘uck you, Rogers."

“Aw, come on Cap'n, Have a sense of
humor. Hey guys,” Rogers called to those
still interested, “Remember when Collins
had a sense of humor?”

A chorus of ‘No's’ answered that. And
Rogers, who had just succeeded in making
‘a bad situation even worse, suddenly turn:
‘ed pseudo-serious,

"The guy couldn't crush his own head.
Somebody had to-do it for hi

“Or something:..,” replied Collins. “...1
mean’someone with something...Ah, you
know what I mean.”

Collins used the middle finger of his left
hand to push his glasses up higher on his
nose, “The facts again,” he mumbled. “No
weapon. No motive, No nothing. Maybe
somebod..,""

Father Joseph explains it all

to. you

Collins stopped noting facts when he

“caught a glimpse of Franc Compton, the

District Attorney, standing against the wall
laughing away,

Compton took his cue, walked over to
Collins; and smiled. “So this is how police
work gets done in the naked city. Perhaps
you should call in Rod Serling,”

“Wonderful, I've got Pete and Repeat on
my hands, Listen Francis, you'd better have
good news for me."

‘Well, we found Gaithersberg’s ex-wife
and..

“So, what was her. motive? Alimony.
Right? No, no, he used to beat her and she
gat revenge. Well, come, on.”

“No such luck.”

“So she isn’t a skull crushing weight
lifter.”

“She's not lifting much of anything these
days. She's confined to a wheelchair, can't
lift her arms to wipe her ass. Seems she and
old Walter there just grew apart, They
broke up amiably. A couple of years later
she was returning some of Gaithersberg’s
belongings and lost control of her car when
the bag with his stuff fell over. It was in the
front seat and when she went to grab it she

awent straight through a red light, hit one
car, spun off that and smashed head on into
another car, Her car exploded, hurling her
through the windshield of the other car.
Her body shot through the glass, snapped
the neck of the driver, and landed in the
street after shattering the rear window.

"Sounds rough. | guess she's not a

suspect. Welll . «."

“Wait, it gets worse. She wasn't too bad-
ly hurt after all that. It was the Caddy that
ran her over. That got her. She says she still
got the tread marks on her back. Anyway,
‘she said Gaithersberg stayed with her for
three weeks in the hospital, voluntarily in-

“creased the alimony payments, and helped

at home until the day he kicked.”

"So we've got a dead Boy Scout, Shit.”

‘They scooped his stuff off the road and
gave it to him when he atrived at the
hospital to see her. It's ironic. When they
were done with him at the morgue they
gave his belongings back to her in a paper
bag. She was pissed, They kinda said
‘here's your husband's life in a bag.’ I don’t
think she particularly appreciated it

On the table at Natasha Gaithersberg’s
house lay a bloody shirt, a pair of shoes,
and the rest of what was Walter
Gaithersberg. She had the full-time nurse
trash anything covered with blood,
Everything else, including all _ useful
clothing and accessories from Walter's
house were delivered to a local thrift shop,
‘The nurse nearly threw out the blood stain-
ed glasses, but at the last minute she clean:
ed them off and put them into the pile to
be delivered. When she pulled up to the
Seagrove Thrift Shop; Joana Nitske grabb-
ed the glasses and gave them one last look-
ing over. Tiny specs of blood were trapped
in and around the screw holes on the
frame. She put the glases aside, But not
because of the blood. The gold color ap-
peared to be more than just color. The gold
may be real gold, Nitske thought to
herself,

She stopped off at the Bausch Cafe for a
cup of coffee, While there, she scrubbed
the glasses clean in the ladies room. She
polished off a second cup of coffee and
shot on over to the nearest pawn broker,
He told her the frames were made of real
gold, worth about $200, Rather than take
the cash she stopped at the optometrist and
had the lenses changed to match her hus-
band’s prescription. A week later she wrap-
ped them up and waited two weeks to give
them to her husband Jake.

“Happy birthday, honey. | hope you like
them.”

“New glasses, they're gorgeous,”

Joana Nitske pecked her husband on the
cheek,

“They're more than gorgeous, Jake,” she
whispered, “They'te real gold. So don't
Jose them.”

“How'd you afford them?"

jon't you worry about that.”
"Did you get a raise?”

es

“Oh yeah, I'm happy for you.”

“‘'m happy for me too,”

“You know something, though?”

“What?”

“The glasses are a little too tight.”

Back in his office, Collins twiddled his
thumbs, “Rod Serling,” noted Collins
“Fuck Rod Serling.” a

Not many college presidents have felt

cally have three- to fiv
year contracts, some feel
compelled to show quick
results, by any means nec:
essary. Penn State football
coach Joe Paterno, one of
the leaders in the effort to
reform college athletics, outlines the prob-

It’s not always the coach who goe:
ther. Earlier this year, a former condi
ing coach and a former track coach at Clem-
son pleaded guilty to charges of illegal
possession and distribution of prescription
drugs. An anti-inflammatory drug may
have contributed to the death last fall of

cross-country runner Augustinius Jaspers.
A grand jury found no criminal responsibil-
ity in Jaspers's death, but ajudge blamed the
coaches’ actions on “a national obsession to
win.” Clemson president Bill Atchley, in a
showdown with the school's athletic de
partment, asked his board of trustees for a
vote of confidence to reaffirm a commit-
ment to academics above athletics; hours
later, the board announced that Atchley
had resigned,

‘The sad truth is that unless a university
president is a demon fund raiser (and many
are), athletic teams may mean more to the
institution, in dollars and cents, than its
chief executive. At Notre Dame, for exam-
ple, the $10 million generated by football
and basketball carries the university's entire
athletic program, In the 1985 NCAA bas
ketball tournament, 64 teams split $18.6
million. Winning a single game meant
$300,760 for the school; reaching the Final
Four was good for $751,899.

The NCAA Presidents Commission, a
44-member group formed in 1983 to en-
able chief executives to become more in-
volved in athletics, proposed a stringent set
of rules changes. Among them: Division 1
schools (those with major sports pro-
grams) would haye to make annual reports
to the NCAA on the academic progress
and graduation rates of athletes; athletes
themselves would be held accountable for
any violations in which they participate;
an annual independent audit would be
made of all athletic expenditures, includ-
ing those made by boosters not officially
connected with an institution, and a

ool's athletic budget would be subject
to its normal budgeting procedure

dents also proposed that any NCAA re- |
strictions resulting from violations by a
coach be applied to that coach even if he
has already moved to another institution—
a provision that might have penalized
Florida's Pell for previous problems at
Clemson. (The athletes’ accountability
proposal must be ratified by the NCAA
next February; the others are
al NCAA rules.)

to two years: no recruiting, no scholarships

| you're losing because

Joe Paterno
Kooiball coach, Penn State

gram, After a 26-month investigation, the
NCAA prohibited SMU from awarding |
any new football scholarships next yea
and cut its new scholarship allotment in
half for the following year; the Mustangs
are barred from television appearances in
1986 and from bowl games for two

sons, The death penalty was a bold stroke,
and a potentially controversial one, but
it became an NCAA rule with 98.6 per-
cent of the vote. In fact, every proposal
brought to the ention floor passed |
overwhelmingly, some  unanimously—a
tribute not only to the presidents’ new
clout in athletic policy but also to high-
er education's profound embarrassment
about its sports scandals.

For the presidents the victory was as
satisfying, though certainly not as profit
able, as winning a big bowl game. “Now
that everybody in the business knows how
serious the penalties are, you'd have to be
very, very foolish to knowingly commit a
violation,
relieved that the convention had turned
back an effort to make the death penalty
retroactive. Tulane’s Kelly, who has stead-
fastly defended his decision to eliminate
the basketball team, allowed that if the |
tougher penalties had been in place, he |
might not have acted so dramatically. Wal-
ter Byers, the crusty executive director of

to

the NCAA who has said that as many as
30 percent of college athletic programs
cheat in some way, pronounced the con-
vention “a historic moment in intercolle-
giate athletics.”

For all the back-patting, it remains to be
seen how well the new rules will work. Some
prominent coaches—the people whose co-
operation is most needed to make them
work—applaud the attempts at reform.
“Many institutions have given in to the
amusement aspect of athletics," complains
Penn State's Paterno. “We have moved out
ofthe realm of education intoa realm where
coaches go out and buy players." Yet others
bear out the theory, advanced by Miami
president Edward T. Foote I, that if one
considers only the athletic issues in isola-
tion, “perfectly well-meaning people will
end up in a different place.” University of

| Oklahoma basketball coach Billy Tubbs,

for one, finds the rules ofien unrealistic in
the real world. He complains that athletes
aren't allov ed to work during the school
year, that cvaches can't meet with their
players in the off season or buy them a
dinner to talk about their problems or offer
their parents a cup of coffee. In his day,
Tubbs says, the coach was a father figure,
somebody who could look out for his guys.
But the way things are going now, Tubbs
frets, two things will happen to a potential
athlete at birth: “First they're going to hit
you on the butt to make sure you're breath-

ng.and all. Second, they're going to have to
give you an NCAA rule book."

So far, the problems don't begin quite
that early, But they show up soon. enough,
with gifted young athletes pampered and
groomed for stardom, often at the expense
of academics. The recruiting wars may be-
gin as early as junior high, and the NCAA
makes a point of contacting outstanding
high-school sophomore and junior athletes
towarn them of the sharks in the water. But
one aspect of the recruiting process, de-
signed to minimize abuse, speaks volumes
about the nature of the business: star ath-
letes don't signify their college choices by

deposits like other stu-

contractual “letters of in-

tent,” as if they were already coming to
terms with the Lakers or 49ers.

College admissions officers are the pre-
sumed gatekeepers; their job is to admit

nts who can be expected to do well at

their schools and who fulfill the schools’
needs. “Fulfilling the school’s needs” is the
loophole, which is sometimes wide enough
for a defensive tackle to slip through. Ad-
missions officers routinely categorize schol-
arship athletes as. special-interest-group
candidates, like a gifted violinist or a com-
puter prodigy or a minority student who
might be admitted in the cause of ethnic
diversity. But athletes are different, espe-
cially “franchise” players who can almost
single-handedly change a university's com-
fortunes (page 13). “If we're talking

college sports. The legend of the Fighting
Irish is so powerful that many people as-
sume the university must be a sports fac-
tory, where pampered athletes stich as Joe
‘Theismann and Joe Montana are treated
like gods by an awed faculty and adoring
student body. On the contrary, L’Univer-
sité de Notre Dame du Lac (still the official
name of the school, which was founded by a
French priest in 1842) is one of the few
institutions where the cloying term “stu-
dent-athlete” actually resembles the truth.

pared with any group ofstudents anywhere.
And Notre Dame doesn't rely on its tennis
or fencing squads to bolster its graduation
statistics. Basketball coach Digger Phelps
boasts a 100 percent graduation record for
his players since he arrived in 1969, and
only a few, like superstar Adrian Dantley,
needed to return to get their degrees while
playing proball. Last year, for thethird year
in a row, Notre Dame won the College
Football Association’s Academic Achieve-
ment Award for graduating 27 of its 28
scholarship seniors (Duke shared the hon

1966 national championship team and a
linebacker for 11 seasons with the Kansas
City Chiefs.

for three decades, Father Theodore M. Hes-
burgh, the president, and his right-hand
man, Father Edmund Joyce, the executive
vice president who oversees theathletic pro-
gram. Digger Phelps vividly remembers the
orders Hesburgh and Joyce gave him when
he was hired, the same message they've
personally addressed to every new coach:
“They told me three things very clearly: we
want our athletes to graduate, we want to be
competitive and we won't stand for cheat-
ing. It's as simple as that. There's no room
for misunderstanding.”

Mike DeCicco, a mechanical-engineering
professor, as full-time academic adviser for
all athletes—and cheerleaders and. team
managers. DeCicco, who looks and talks
like a line coach, makes sure that all of his
charges attend classes, keep up their grades.
and stay on track for graduation. Unlike
academic advisers at many schools, De-
Cicco does not work for theathletic depart-

office is just down the hall on the third floor
under the Golden Dome. DeCicco pos-

better job than almost any other big school
inintegrating its athletes into the relatively
small student body (7,488 undergraduates,
2,159 of them women). Some institutions
house their athletes together, often in
dorms far better than average, and feed
them at sumptuous taining tables, Notre
Dame's administration sees to it that ath-
letes live, eat, study and socialize as much

the 24 freshman football players this fall
are living in 12 different dorms. And an
All-American linebacker eats the same
food and stands in the same cafeteria lines
as a philosophy major. ‘I've seen schools
where the athletes don’t really feel they're

ent conflict is simple: admissions people
tend to want straight-A students, and
those are usually not the best athletes. Says
Indiana's Robert Magee: “We see some

Coach P. J. Carlesimo, who is
trying to build a basketball pro-
gram at Seton Hall that can be
competitive in the powerhouse
Big East conference, sees the
problem clearly. “You're trying
to marry two pools," he says.
“You've got your pool of talented
enough players, and you've got
your pool of acceptable students.
They don't overlap a real lot. We
can recruit better students, but
we can’t win playing them.

The NCAA is trying to merge
the two pools: little more smooth-
ly by encouraging prospective col-
lege athletes to become accept-
able students while still in high
school. Two years ago the associ-
ation passed a controversial rule,
known as Proposition 48, that
would require athletes to show a
2.0scholastic average in a specified curricu-
lum of college-prep courses; acing phys ed
nd “bachelor living” wouldn't count.
Proposition 48 also calls for student-ath-
letes to carn a combined score of at least 700
on the SAT or 15 on the American College
Testing program exam. Any student who
did not meet those criteria would be ineligi
ble to play as a freshman. Black colleges—
presidents as well as coaches—protested
the new rule hotly as unfair to black stu-
dents. In. 1982, for example, the average
combined score foral/ black students taking
the SAT was 707 (the average for all stu-
dents is just below 900). Some NCAA mem-
bers may propose modifications, which are
to take effect for the 1986-87 aca:
demic year, without changing the

intent of the rule.

There is also growing senti-
ment, within the commission and
among presidents and coaches
generally, for a return to the days
when freshmen were not eligibleat
all for varsity teams. Theoretical-
ly, this would allow freshmen ath-

letes to spend a year acting, more
or less, like other students. They
would have time to get adjusted to
college life and to devote to their
studies. [t might also help improve
graduation rates, another touchy
problem with college athletics.
One recent study conducted for
the NCAA found that of college

thletes entering school in 1975,
42 percent graduated within five
years. That figure seems not so bad
compared with the 50 percent five-
year graduation rate for the stu-
dent population at large, but there
is a trick in it. Most students who

runs out—and are still nowhere near
graduation.

The study also included some other trou-
bling facts. Only about one-quarter of black
male athletes graduated, for instance, and
some single-college rates for basketball
players, many of them black, were abysmal.
At Memphis State, in fact, only 4 of 38
scholarship basketball players have gradu-
ated since 1973, none of them black. “Most
of the players play four years and come out
with about 60 credits that don’t fit any kind

dent. “This is the norm.”

Dana Kirk (who supplements his income
by doing waterbed commercials on Mem-

Billy (Spook) Murphy and several mem-
bers of the enthusiastic Golden Tiger

disassociated itself last May. Everyone

No one has been charged, but the sit-

onor and fortune can come to a univer-

sity any number of ways. For the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma, it came recently in a
smiling 6-foot-9 package named Wayman
Tisdale. A three-time All-American and
member of the Olympic gold-medal basket-
ball team, Tisdale carried the Sooners to the
upper reaches ofthe NCAA rankings and at
the same time helped make football-crazy
Oklahomasafefor basketball. Just as impor-
tant in an era of grand-jury headlines, he
managed toaccomplish that withcharmand
grace and no hint of scandal. “Wayman
exemplifies what college sports are all
about,” says coach Billy Tubbs, “working
hard, doing your very bt and having fun,”

Tisdale’s success need not be measured
only in games won and postseason awards,
In 1981-82, just before “Mr. T” arrived, the
school grossed $278,000 in ticket sales onan

average attendance of 7,466 per game. Last
season's gross was $762,000; the average
crowd was 11,510—in an arena that seats
only 10,800,

Obviously a figure of stature at Norman,
Tisdale enjoyed the campus social life. But
heroomed with his brother and nearly every
weekend went home to Tulsa to visit his
high-school sweetheart and play guitar at
the Baptist church where his fathers minis-
ter. According to his mother, Deborah, not
one of the more than 200 schools that re-
cruited Wayman offered more than an edu-
cation and a chance to play. Any recruiter
‘who had planned to offer more would have
been quickly dissuaded. The family prac-
tices the religious ideals preached by the
Rey, Louis Tisdale, whoinsiststhat “sportis
sport. It’s good to win, but youdon't have to

football and basketball players, and
increasingly hockey and baseball players
uas well, want to be pro athletes but have
little interest in being students, Rather
than turning them away—or making a
farce of their educational experience
Green suggests establishing a separate vo-

cational curriculum for those who are, in
effect, studying for a professional athletic
career. “Universities should recognize peo-
ple who have athletic gifts and establish
appropriate courses of study, practical
courses that will meet the needs of those
students,” says Green. Such a curriculum,
as he envisions it, would provide some
basic financial-management training as
well as some preparation for life after a pro
career has ended, It would lead to a certifi-
cate of completion, not a bachelor’s degree,
so as not to compromise the academic
integrity of the institution. As many as 20
to 30 percent of college athletes might opt
for such a curriculum, Green
estimates. The rest would pur-
sue a normal college educ

“which, believe it or

says Green, “is what
most of us want.”

For one reason or another,
many athletes aren't getting it

he Center for the Study of
Sport in Society at Boston
Northeastern University has
developed an innovative ap-
proach to provide a second
chance for athletes who did not
get un education—and to make
sure future student-athletes
have their priorities straight.
‘The center’s University Degree
Completion Program encour-
ages athletes playing for pro
teams in the Boston area to fin-
ish up at Northeastern. Durin
first year of operation, 45 members of the

New England Patriots, Boston
Bruins and Boston Red Soxen-
rolled in special transitional
Northeastern courses to begin
work toward completing their
degrees. The courses were held
at the office, as it were—at Sul-
livan Stadium, Boston Garden
and Fenway Park.

The athletes were also at-
tracted by the opportunity to
participate in another of the
center's efforts—an outreach
program for junior-high- and
high-school students. Pro ath-
letes spoke, in both large and
small groups, to the awed kids,
counseling them about the pro-
hibitive odds against making it
to the big time. Many young-
sters, believing they can be the
next Dr. J but not Dr. James,
ignore their studies while pur-
suiing the dream of becoming a
sports star,” says center dires
tor Richard Lapehick. “The
truth is that the odds are better
for a high-school athlete to be-
come a doctor or an attorne

than to become a pro athlete.” The pro
athletes are uniquely qualified to deliver the
message, but the center's staff has an athlet-
ic pedigree as well: Lapchick is the son of|
legendary St. John’s basketball coach Joe
Lapchick, and associate director Tom
(Satch) Sanders was a basketball star for
New York University and the Boston Celt-
ics. Sanders says that the pros are enthusias-
icabout the outreach program. “They real-
ize that they werein some ways victims," he
says, “that they had not had the help and
guidance they should have had.”
This summer the center announced the
formation of a consortium to work with

William Paterson College of New Jersey,
Georgetown, Temple, the University of
Denver, California State University, Long

ley, and the University of San Francisco. All
11 schools will operate the degree-comple-
tion and outreach programs. They havealso
agreed to a radical new scheme: each insti-
tution will offer tuition-free education to
any of its own former athletes who have
attended on scholarship since 1975 and
have not graduated. Itisan amnesty of sorts
that applies equally to the millionaire pro
and the dropout bus driver. And it is re-
markable in that it acknowledges some un-
finished business on the part of both the
athlete and the university.

That unfinished academic business un-
derlies much of the integrity erisis in col-
lege sports. Potential for abuse can be
limited when athletes are admitted and
educated as students, when responsible
adults place humane values above com-
petitive pressures and when institutions do

| not succumb to a greedy pursuit of sports-

generated dollars. It can be done; some
schools still manage to play it straight—
and win. But it seems to be getting harder
all the time.

A Wide-Open Market
For Meat Majors

Tired of the phalanxes of business majors
all around you? How about a major that’s
different, yet practical ... like Meat? Sul
Ross State University, in the midst of the
‘west Texas cattle country, has developed
hefty Department of Meat Industry Man-
agement and Technology, with courses like
“Meat Science” and “Physiology and Bio-
chemistry of Muscle as a Food.” The Sul
Ross program covers the industry from
ranch to table, says Paul Will, associate
professor of animal science. It offers a four-
‘year B.S, degree and a two-year associate of
‘applied-science degree, plus internships,
which Will describesas “icing on the cake.”
|About 50 students are enrolled in the
program, morethan one-third of them wom-
fen. The Sul Ross meat-management bro-
ichure, the cover of which once pictured a
hard-hatted scientist wielding a chain saw
against a side of beef, entices potential stu-
dents with a wide-open job market: "There
fare more positions available in the meat
industry than there are qualified college
graduates to fill the vacancies.” And this
major offers an additional benefit: the lab
experiments, from hams and cured meats to
prize-winning sausages, canbe sold.

ity psychology Prof, Thomas Cash
asked 216 male and female corporate man-
agers (o judge the career prospects of busi-

styles and clothing than others. The m
femininely groomed women were judged
Jess competent than their more androgyn-

help women only when they are going after
“pink collar” clerical positions or jobs in

Tobeat such prejudices, Cash concluded,
women might have to give in somewhat—
not by being less attractive but by avoiding
such overly feminine styles as long hair,
low-cut sweaters, dangling jewelry and
heavy makeup. As Cash put it: "Ifa woman
wants to succeed in a man's world, she had
better not look too feminine. Several ‘dress
for success’ books have made it to the best~

business by wearing their hair short, using
‘cosmetics sparingly and wearing conserva-
suits. Our research suggests, sadly, that
the advice is sound.”

Once Again, the Threat of a Measles Epidemic

The '50s revival isn’t limited to fashion
and polities, Measles and rubella (also
known as German measles), once thought

almost vanished, have returned in

ind both are hitting

colleges hard. Out of 1,802 cases of measles
reported around the nation so far this year,
a record 334 have occurred on campuses.

Northeastern last year that students were
not allowed to gather at basketball games;
for one women’s game, students prepared

4 life-size cutouts so that the team appeared

to have a cheering section.)

College students have always been vul-
nerable to communicable diseases, mainly
becuse of crowded living conditions. The
current crop is particularly susceptible
to measles, however. The disease was so
rare when they were children that many
of them were never inoculated against it

‘The Atlanta-based Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) estimates that 5 to 15 per-
cent of the nation’s college students may be
susceptible.

‘Measles is a much searier proposition for
young adults than it is for children. For one
thing, older victims run a greater risk of
serious complications, among them, pneu-

ia, hearing loss and encephalitis. For
other, rubella is especially dangerous for
women of childbearing age, since it can
cause birth defects in developing fetuses. So
both the CDC and the American College
Health Association are calling for renewed
inoculation efforts. “Anybody born after

Aptitude Testing President Barry Gale, you can expect to

change jobs elght times in your professional lifetime; statistics show most people
make three major career changes before retirement.

Mfyou're like most students, the postgraduate decisions that lie before you—whare to
live, where to work—give you reason for pause, and perhaps It is well that they should,
Life beyond the nurturing confines of the college campus is not something to be entered
into lightly, but at the same time the collected wisdom of an assortment of professors,
Parents, career counselors and placement officers can leave you just a litie bit leery of

what lies ahead,

This is where The American Express Real Life Planner comes in. In our first
Installment— "Getting Started" —we'llstart you thinking clearly and sensibly about your
future, get you started on making some of those important beginning career decisions,
start you thinking about which directions you want your life to take, where you wantttollive,

don't work out quite the way you'd planned,

THE JOB SEARCH

how to begin your career search, For

the standard line on resume prepara-
tion, interview techniques and what not,
we refer you to the list of recommended
reading at tho end of this installment. For
information you won't find anywhere else,
read on.

Career Aptitude's Barry Gale tolls
students that the best first step in a beginn-
ing Job search |s to know what your talents
are—what you're best a!—before you
decide what itis you want to do for a living,
‘Though this seems obvious, Gale Is sur-
prised at the number of recent graduates
he’s encountered who not only have no
idea what they want to do for a living, but
who haven't a clue where their talents lie or
what they're capable of becoming.

“There are more than twenty-seven
thousand different career titles out there,”
Gale reasons, '‘and each year we add
about two thousand more, First things first,

seu has a piece of advice on

figure out what it Is you can do, what it is
that turns you on, what it is you want to
spond the rest of your life doing. If you're
going to spend more than eighty thousand
hours in your lifetime working, you'd better
make sure you're getting something more
ut of it than just a paycheck.”

John D. Shingleton, Director of Place-
ment at Michigan State University, cau-
tions students against seeking out the
“hot” career areas. “If you want to go into
atiold, if you're really interested in it, go i
toit and become the best in it and there
job for you," he advises. "There's a job in
‘every field if you're the best."

Students, says Stanford University
Director of Career Planning and Plac
ment Christopher J. Shinkman, should fee!
free to pursue thelr own intorests, chase
their own dreams, and not worry about
which fields have the most jobs. “They
should be interested in what itis they want
to do,” Shinkman says. "For a student to

come and ask me what the hot fields are is,
| think, an inappropriate question, the tail
wagging the dog. And the presumption is,
whatever | say, well then that's what
they're going to do. So if | say geology is
hot they'll say, ‘Great, I'll be a geologist.’
Well, that’s ridiculous.

Dogged persistence, many say, is one
of the best qualities you can take with you
‘on your job search. “! see a lot of com-
placence," Shingleton admits, “though
less now than four years ago. We still got
students who don't start looking early
enough. | had a student come in in April
who was graduating in June, and she
hadn't started looking for a job yet. By that
time, I'd say about three quarters of the
jobs are filled because the companies
have been recruiting since October and
they've made most of their offers. She
limited herself to one-quarter of the market
and that kind of complacency can really
hurt you.”

"They wait until too late,"" Shinkman
says of the graduating student. “Peopié
wander into this office toward the end of
their senior year for the first time, and
we've gota big job todo in a relatively short
period of time.

‘Though classified ads in magazines
and newspapers may give you a good idea
of what's out there for you, the ads typically
represent only a small fraction of the
available job pool. Jeffrey Powell, acting
director of the career placement services
at Tulane University, estimates that job
Prospects that reach the general public
represent only 15 percent of-all openings.
In other words, roughly 85 percent of all
Jobs are being filled behind the scenes.

Most schools invite local and national
firms to recruit on campus, and this prc
83, experts say, has both its advantage:
and its drawbacks. ‘The first and obvious
advantage Is convenience,” Shinkman of-
fers. “You can simply get out of bed and
walk across campus to your career plan-
ning and placement center, and it's right
there, You will also be seeing organiza-
tions that have come specifically looking
for undergraduates with your particular
background and degree, so you know up
front that you're an appropriate candidate
and on targe'

“The disadvantages include the fact
that only large, often national or even
multinational firms have the staff and the
resources and the hiring needs such that
they can predict ahead and hire people to
go out on campus and conduct these inter-
views. So that means students are only
seeing avery limited type of organization,"

By many estimates, campus inter-
views account for approximately 30 per-
cent of all jobs offered to graduating
students, and many of these are concen-
trated among a relatively small number of
the larger schools. Also, some fields of
study attract a greater percentage of

recruiting interest than others. Engineer
for example, will have more interview
possibilities on campus than liberal arts
majors; science, math, and computer
science students will outdistance social
and political scientists by a significant
margin, and soon.

‘Check the recruiting station on your
campus and proceed with your job search
accordingly. Make intelligent use of your
‘campus placement office, and get an early
jump on your career effort. “Our respon-
sibility is not simply to help people
job,” says Stanford's Shinkman, "
before that to help them determine what
kind of job they want to secure, and to help
in resume writing, interviewing techni-
ques, and job-search strategies."

“One of the things we've been pro-
moting at Tulane,” notes Powell, “‘is in-
ternships and externships, not only to give
people experience but so that they meet
people in their fields of interest. It's the
well-rounded student who is going tocome
across best to employers, the one with the
respectable average who has somehow
proven himself in the field."*

Off-campus, your time will be best
spent conducting your own information in-
terviews, a little-used practice to help you
decide whether a company or a position is
right for you, before letting the company
decide whether you're right for them. Most
schools will offer a list of prominent alumni
in various fields, and you would do well to
contact a few in your area to see firsthand

life is like out there in your field of
che .
Career Aptitude Testing’s Gale offers
his own list of questions to help you in your
search:
* “Ask someone now working in a job you
might enjoy what he did yesterday from
nine to ten in the morning. Nail him down
on it and make him be very specitic.””
# "Be sure to find outif there are particular
pressure times on the job, and, ifthere are,
do they occur every day, every month,
‘every season, or whatever.”
* “it's always a good idea to find out when
the person you're Interviewing last had a
good laugh on the job. Again, make him be

specific."

you can, get your host to talk about his
last failure on the job, and see what, if
anything, he learned from it."”

* “Always ask how frequently you'll have
to relocate if you want to get ahead in that
particular business. Also, find out early on
how much travel time will be expected of
someone new to the field."
*""Ifthere's a way to work the conversation
around to salary, | would strongly recom-
mend it. Too often the salary figures
Published in industry or career publica-
tions are far off the mark. Don't be afraid to
ask what you can be expected to earn to
start off, and what you can hope to earn
two, three, or five years down the road."

THE INTERVIEW

Imost never do in a job interview:
never tell the interviewer he/she
could stand to lose a few pounds (unless,
perhaps, the interview is for a job at a nutri-
tion and fitness center); never ask who
his/her favorite pro wrestler is (unless, ob-
viously, you're interviewing with the
Worldwide Wrestling Federation); and
never, under any circumstances, ask the
interviewer how longit will realistically take
for you to move up the ladder to his/her job.
There are a few, less obvious rules of
the road, and we'll start off with a look at
the Quaker Cats Tacky Ten Checklist,
developed by vice president of corporate
personnel, Larry Baytos:
1. Candidate does not make eye
contact.

. Candidate only asks questions per-
taining to salary/benefits.

. Candidate berates current boss/
employer.

|. Candidate smokes without asking.

. Candidate does not have a good
working knowledge of the company
and Its products.

. Candidate is tate for appointment.
Candidate dresses inappropriately.
Candidate shakes hands like a dead
mackerel.

Candidate rambles on with neediess
details,

). Candidate cannot respond maturely
to questions of personal strengths
and weaknesses.

Job applicants who fall victim totoo many of
the above are quickly out of the running for
Quaker Oats positions, Baytos says. No word
‘on how Baytos determines how adead mack-
erel shakes hands.

T= are a few things you should

Social Advaising Supplement

Most companies, you'll find, have similar
checklists that help them to sift through the
endless stream of job hopefuls and bring
them closer to landing the perfectjob candi-
date, and it's a good idea to tind out what's
accepted (and what's expected) before you
‘show up for the interview (on time, of course).

Resumes, many experts tell us, aro
not as important for what they say as for
how they're presented. “You'll still find
students who will send in resumes with
typographical errors," notes one college
recruiter. "| always look at it in the sense
that you take someone from Columbia
who has spent $40,000 on their education,
and you ask them to write on one piece of
paper their qualifications. To me that
paper should reflect $40,000 worth of
qualifications, because that's what
you're selling, and you have to put it on

lece of paper. It's an indication of

Personal appearance and personality
goalong way toward making a positive first
impression. "Look, subconsciously,
whether we like it or not, we're grading
someone on their looks," admits Don
Fleshman, a college recruiter for
Goodyear. “When I'm interviewing
someone I'm saying to myself, ‘Can | pic-
ture this person working at Goodyear?’
Whether we realize it or not, we recruit a
particular image. Luckily there are four or
five of us interviewing, because if | were
the only recruiter all the new graduating
seniors we'd bring in would look exactly
the same.”

Dress appropriately (a conservative
business suit is always appropriate for
both sexes), relax, and be your usual char-
ming self and you should be able to get
past what most interviewers agreeis an im-
portant hurdle, "When you go intoan inter-
view, it's best tobe as candid and open and
as straightforward as possible," observes
a recruiter, "That gives the Interviewer the
chance to See you as a person. If they stil
want to hire you then that ets you know you
have the type of personality that can fit into
that company because they are accepting
you for what you are."

One interviewer says he notices a
tendency among graduating students to
make the interview process too
mechanical, a result of many schools
developing training programs to improve
interviewing skills. A typical strategy that is
seen over and over is the students’ forced
effort to turn a negative into a positive, a
technique that is stressed in many campus
placement programs, "If | ask a student to
tell me about his faults," he says, “and the
student says, ‘Well, think my biggest fault
is that I'm too aggressive, | always want to
got the thing done, and I'm always pross-
ing for more work,’ that's turning the
negative into a positive. After a while you
hear it so many times, it doesn't really
wash,

“if someone isn't being candid with
you, you can throw questions at them to
show that, You'll say, ‘Well, give mean ex-
ample of a situation where you were overly
aggressive and it turned out poorly.’ And
then they'll sit there and they'll think and
they won't be able to come up with
anything.”

The technique he is describing Is an
example of a common interviewer
strategy, known in some circles as "the
stress interview."" By pinning the job can-
didate down on the finer points of his
resume, the interviewer hopes to see the
candidate perform under something
resembling pressure. Always be prepared
for an aggressive intorview session,

Lady Luck probably plays a bigger
role in your future than you'd like. Most
‘companies don’t look back in their resume
file when a new position opens up, so tim-
ingis everything in ajob search. ""You real-
ly have to be in the right place at the right
time," agrees Fleshman. “We might come
back to the office and discover we've had
our quota cut back and then two months
later it's back up again. Well, we usually
won't backtrack, 80 we might have by-
passed someone who would have been
the next Goodyear CEO."

"We might come across someone
who would have been good for a research
analyst position," explains another
recruiter, “but right then we might not have
anything available. We don't really
remember that person when something
comes up three months down the road.”

"Luck is where preparation meets op-
portunity,” notes Tulane's Powell. "The
student who has prepared himself, with
‘work experience in his field of interest, has
a better chance of being in the right place
at the right time,”

Of course its possible to increase the
number of “right times" you have working
for you. It’s always a good idea to follow-up
your interview with a call or letter every few
‘Weeks (or months, as indicated), to make
‘ure yours is the name that’s remembered
when an opening occurs.

Perhaps the most important thing you
can do to prepare for an Interview is to
Prepare for an interview. Really prepare.
“Too many people come into interviews
knowing very little about the companies
they're interviewing with," says a recruiter
for the Federal Reserve Bank. ''There are
People who come in and I'llask them, 'Why
are you interested in working for the Fed?”
And they'll say, ‘Well, it's one of the most
Important banks in’ the whole United
States.’ Okay, but you're not going to be
president of it. Do your homework and
know a little bit about the company to sea
Where you might fit in."

Fleshman always ends his interviows
by asking candidates it they have any
questions for him, “If they say, ‘Well, | do
have some question that you haven't

covered,’ and then they askme some good
questions, well then | feel that they've real-
ly prepared themselves for this interview."

There is a tendency to put too fine a
point on the interview process; if you're
qualified for the job, make a good first im-
pression, carry yourself well and with con-
fidence, and do a little bit of homework
about the company, you'll have all of the
variables in the process working in your
fav

"The most important thing is to be
yourself," advises Fleshman. “That
doesn't mean don't prepare. Prepare and
be yourself. if you don't want totake time to
prepare, well then don't interview with that
company; you don''t really want to work for
them anyhow.

CASE IN POINT

Tom Alperin, 26, is an executive vice
president in the Boston branch of National
Development Corporation, a Pittsburgh-
based real estate development firm. The
Boston office, which he opened two years
ago, has just completed its first project, @
$10 million office building in Andover,
Massachusetts. Ground has been broken
‘on two other projects, and a third project—
the development of 380 acres of Franklin,
Massachusetts property into 395 residen-
tial units, @ hotel, health center and 2.5
million square foot research and develop-
‘ment industrial facility (all at a projected
cost of $200 million)—is well under way.
Several other projects are in various stages
of development.

In the summer of 1980, as a Tults
University political science major, the only
thing Alperin knew for certain was that he
didnot want to go to law or business schoo!
when he graduated the following spring.
With an interestin urban and environmental
affairs, and city planning, —Alperin
Worked that summer assisting his faculty
advisor in a research project documenting
the changes in Boston's central neighbor-
hoods between 1945-1979. He was able to
parlay that experience into a non-paying in-
ternship at the Greater Boston Real Estate
Board during the first semester of his senior
year, and fram that vantage point he began
his job search in earnest.

“By pure luck I chose the best possible
job | could haye had," Alperin remembers.
Looking back on his first job, a $16,000-a-
year position as an investment analyst at
the Boston real estate firm of Meredith &
Grew, Alperin reflects: "I think It's impor-
tant to find @ job where you're comfortable
with your employer's personal interest in
your own career growth. You should look
for a job that gives you some indepen-
dence, the freedom and responsibility to
learn from your own mistakes. And the last
thing you should be thinking about is the
money you'll be making. Salary shouldn't
'be important the first few years,"

‘Special Advertsing Supplement

Alperin kept in professional contact
over the years with one of the firms he
turned down upon graduation; in 1983, the
National Development Corporation asked
Alperin to move to Miamito help them open
an office there. In response, Alperin drew
upaproposalto convince the firm to open a
development office in the Boston area.

“Itwas an ideal situation," he says. “1
had the backing of a strong corporate
parent, and the chance to start something
new, to lear, to break off on my own,”
Alperin now oversees a full-time staff of
seven, and he holds an equity position in
the firm's Boston office.

“An internship," Alperin reflects, "'is
the best way to break into any field. If a
schoo! dossn’toffer an internship program,
professors should be able to provide names
of peoplein particular fields who might be of
some help.

“I think what you do outside the
classroom is more important than anything
you do academically. People recognize
ambition and a certain amount of experi-
‘ence, and the kind of work you've done, or
the experiences you've had is really more
important than whether or not you have a
Phi Beta Kappa key."

WHERE TO LIVE

‘ice you've settled on what itis you
Ce) plan todo for aliving, you'll have to

land on a place to live for a living.
Juneau, Alaska, is a great place to live—it
ranks first among American cities with the
highest average number of days of
precipitation (220 per year; Syracuse, New
York, scores second with 166), first in
household income ($30,872 to runner-up
Livonia, Michigan—$30,068), first in per
capita income ($12,435, slightly higher
than Alexandria, Virginia's $12,177), and
last in the average number of cooling

degree days each year (0). Juneau is more
than three times the size of America’s se-
cond largest city (2,626 square miles ver-
sus Jacksonville, Florida's 759.7), and
you'll find fewer people per square mile
there (7) than you will in, say, New York

is all well and good if you're look-
ing for a big, cold, wet place to live, or if
you're overly concerned about the amount
of money you earn or the number of people
you'll likely run into over any given square
mile. Chances are, though, you're looking
for someplace alittle less sprawling, a little
warmer and drier, and even a little less
lucrative, After all, what good is all of that
per capita income if all you have to spend it
on is raingear?

The pointof all this is nottodiminish the
many wonders a nice place like Juneau (we
heart's lovely there this time of year), butto
suggest that you can find statistics tosupport
any real life decision you care to make. The
U.S. Census Bureau or the U.S. Department
‘of Commerce will be more than happy tobog
you down with more information than you
could ever hope to find useful. Or, you can
look to two resources that break down
government statistics for you—The Rand
‘McNally Places Rated Almanac available at
your local bookstore), or 199 American Cities

should be able to find in your campus library

federally designated metropolitan areas in
terms of climate, housing, health, transpor-
tation, education, crime, recreation and the
arts, and economic outlook. The Rand

try, but ifthe steel city doesn't quite fit your
idéa of the perfect place to settle down you'll
find Boston, Raleigh-Durham, San Fran-
ciscoand Philadelphia rounding out the top
five.

According to the Michigan State Univer-
sity Placement Services, which recently
surveyed a cross-section of 658 employers
in the areas of business, industry, educa-
tion, and government, the best avallability of
jobs for college graduates in 1985 will be in
the southwest region of the country (Califor-
nia, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, etc.),
followed by the country's south central region
(Texas, Oklahoma, idaho, Kansas, Louisiana,
etc.). And what's the worst aree o' he country
tolook for jobs? The Michige. state study,
reported in the annual publication Recruiting
Trends, finds the northwest region (Wash-
ington, Oregon, Montana, Utah, Alaska, etc.)
holds the dimmest prospects for job candi-
dates. So much for the wonders of Juneau,

Salaries, we've found, differ only slightly
from one region of the country to another,
Big corporations—IBM, General Electric,
Exxon—will offer the same salary for entry-
level applicants no matter which office of the
company is handling the placement. Start-
ing salaries will, of course, vary from one
regional company to another, although the
differences have more to dowith the typeof
work youdo than with where you want todo
it. Agood rule of thumb: the bigger the city,
the bigger the paycheck; of course, the bigger
the city, the bigger also the living expenses.

Since the cost of living will vary from one

will your ability to live a certain kind of lite-
style onthe same salary. For example, astart
ing salary offer for $20,000 from afirm in San
Francisco will not give you the same buying
power as a $20,000 offer from an Atlanta com-
pany. You would have to earn only $16,698
in Atlanta to match the San Francisco offer
in buying power; conversely, it would take a
$23,954 offer in San Francisco to keep pace
with the $20,000 Atlanta job.

You can drop appropriate cities into
the formula to come up with some figures
that mightbe of personal interest. To deter-
mine the Atlanta equivalent of the San
Francisco offer, simply divide Atlanta's
cost of living index (104.2) by San Fran-
cisco's (124.8), and then multiply the
resulting figure by $20,000. To assess the
San Francisco offer against the one in
Atlanta, divide the San Francisco index by

$20,000.

CASEIN POINT

“When | first started working in this
field | had no real idea of the kinds of jobs
that ware out thera, the kind of lifestyle |
was getting myseltinto," remembers Diana
Phillies, who this month completes a
summer-long stint as an assistant to the
production office coordinator on the set of
Alan Alda's upcoming Universal feature,
“Sweet Liberty.”

Philips, 24, graduated from Yale
University in 1983 with a degree in modern
American history, and an aversion to law
‘school or anything resembling @ teaching
career, "! thought about publishing for a
whita,” she recalls, “but | decided that the
area of video and fm production was anew
area of opportunity, holding the same sort
of promise the publishing fleld may have
held many years ago."

By the middle of her senior year,
Phillips managed to hook up, through a

family friend, with producer Jerome Gary
(“Pumping Iron"), who was about to begin
work on a new, feature-length documen-
tary. "I set up an appointment with him just
to get some more information about the
field," Phillips says, “buthe ended up offer-
ing me a job."

After a year and a half as Gary's pro-
duction coordinator (her efforts can be seen
on the recently released docu-drama "The
Stripper"), Phillips decided to make a go of
a free-lance career. “After a year anda hall,
you develop a lot of contacts in this busi-
ness, "she says. "You lear alotof names,
and | called anyone and everyone | knew
who had some connection to the business.
| spent weeks with nothing but phone ap-
pointments before anything turned up.”

Something did turn up, and Phillips
landed her first free-lance position, as an
assistant at a commercial company lor $75
a day; that, in turn, led to a $50 a day job
with an industrial production company.
“You get more experience in industrial
work, " Phillips says, ‘'so it's worth the dif-
ference in pay." In the year since she left
her full-time position with Gary, Phillips has
‘been out of work for no more than three or
four weeks.

During Alda's Sag-Harbor, New York,
location shooting for ‘Sweet Liberty,”
Philips earned $450 a week (plus another
$720 in weekly meal money). "I was lucky
enough to fall into something | really
liked,” she reflects, ''! mean, | could have
taken that first job and hated/it.""

kay, you've decided on that great
Ce) accounting job in Chicago (or was

it that terrific spot as junior public
relations executive at the racetrack in
Louisville, Kentucky?). Next step: find a
place to live. Once you've decided how you
want to live—alone, with a roommate, with
your parents (with your parents?), or with a
large group (in a boarding house situation,
for example)—you should run (don't walk)
to the nearest newsstand and pick up the
best daily newspaper in the area.

By assessing the prices in the area,
and knowing what's available to you, you
will now be equipped to ask some in-
telligent questions. Start with the person-
nel office of your new firm; if the firm is not
large enough for a personnel office, talk to
the person who hired you. Do as much
legwork as you can before visiting the local
real estate brokers, who sometimes (par-
ticularly in the larger cities) charge as
much as 15 percent of your annual rent in
‘exchange for their services. (In some other
areas of the country itis the landlord who
pays the brokerage fe, so check and see
what the accepted convention Is in the
area you're looking.)

You might want to look into the fur-
nished apartment market, which can lead
you to some pleasant surprises. You can
often find a furnished apartmentat close to
the same price as an unfurnished unit. If
you do decide to go the furnished route,

When you're starting out, it probably
makes good sense to seek a short-term
lease, which would leave you free to make
any career change that might come up. (Of
‘course, a longer-term lease locks you in to
a given rent for a longer period of time, 80

mobility against those of security.)

‘One last note: it's often a good idea to
consider buying an apartment (either in a
cooperative or condominium complex) if
you plan on living in a large city for a long
period of time. You'll rarely be called upon
to put down more than 10 percent of the
purchase price as a down payment (in
Texas, for example, you'll need only 5 per-
cent), and it is almost always possible to
get a mortgage as long as you're able to

your earning potential. Think about it tor a
minute: you put down, say, $4,000 against
a $40,000 apartment—the same apart-
ment you would consider renting for, say,
$650 per month. As a renter, it would cost
you (in most cities) two months’ rent
($1,300), one month as security deposit
(8650), and 10 percent of a year's rant in
brokerage fees ($780), for a grand total of
$2,730 before you even walk in the door.

Now, if you can swing the $4,000
down payment (and, face it, $4,000 isn't
that much more than $2,730), you can
probably arrange financing that would
keep your monthly payments at about
$420 (with a 14 percent mortgage), plus
anywhere from $100 to $350 in monthly
maintenance charges (a large portion of
which is deductible). Of course, it’s not as
simple as all this (nothing ever is), but you
get the idea. It you're interested in buying
some equity with your living allowance,
opening yourself up for substantial tax sav-
ings, and making sure your rent money
doesn't go out the window (never to be
seen again), talk to your parents, a lawyer,
or a real estate broker about buying an
apartment in the area you're planning to
live.

CASE IN POINT

The idea of moving out of New Orleans
was something Keith Horil, 22, had resigned
himself to before he graduated from Tulane
last May. A computer science major, Horil
realized the high-tech prospects in his home-
town were less promising than in other high
technology centers.

"lived at home during college," Hori
explains, ‘and on top of all that / was just
ready to go, just to get out of the house."

He accepted the first job offered to
him—as a telecommunications trouble-
shooter for Northern Telecom in Dallas—
after an internship with Hewlett Packard in
‘New Orleans did not lead to a promised job
with the Colorado Springs division of the
company. The Northern Telecom offer
came via Tulane's on-campus recruiting
effort.

So two weeks after graduation (the
company was anxious for him to start as
soon as possible), Hori hired a moving van
and shuttled off to Dallas. Northern
Telecom put him up in a hotel while he
began his apartment search.

“The first day | went out and looked on
my own,'"he remembers, "and | got really
upset when | didn't find anything | liked.”
Discouraged, he tured to a real estate
agent recommended by his tirm’s person-
nelottice and his luck, he thought, suddenly
changed.

"The next day the agent showed me
an apartment | really liked," he says, “and /
just on the spur of the moment said i'd take
it, which is the wrong thing to do. It's a litle
bit too far from where | work.

‘Special Advertsing Supplement

“Agents will tell you anything and it's a
good idea to check out what they say. [This
agent told him a 40 minute drive to work
would take him no longer than 20 minutes.)
Drive the commute yourself. And take your
time; don't take the first thing that looks
good to you, look at a few apartments you
like before choosing."

Horil ran into another sticky problem
before he finally got settled. “! overextend-
‘ed myself on my credit card," he tells, "I'd
had a card for some time and was used to
using one, but there are so many things you
need when you go from your parents’
house to your own. You spend a lot.

“| tried to be kind of smart about it; 1
had my credit limit raised before | left New
Orleans, but ! went way beyond it anyway.
You reaily should be conservative in your
firstfew months, until you settle in. Don'tbe
too anxious—that was one of my faults
Take a little time and think before you do
anything.”

‘It’s Time to Get Out and Raise a Little Hell’

Eleanor Smeal, 46, won back the presi-
dency of the National Organization for
Women (NOW) this summer with a promise
of new militancy. The daughter of Italian
immigrants, Smeal graduated Phi Beta
Kappa from Duke and earned a master’s in
political science from the University of Flor-
ida, She and her husband, Chat es, have two
children, Tod, 21, ajuniorat MIT, and Lori,
17, a high-school senior. She talked about
NOW's new goals, on college campuses and
elsewhere, with NEWSWEEK'S chief political
correspondent, Howard Fineman:

FINEMAN: Two-thirds of voters from 18
to 24 voted for Ronald Reagan against Wal-
ter Mondale, who described himself as a

“feminist.” What makes you think students
will respond to your mesvage now?

First of all, not all students are
young. A lot of them are my contemporar-
ies. Older women students havea profound
effect on the others. They're living testimo-
ny—the GI's on the domestic front. These
women have experience as to what sex dis-
crimination is all about.

Q Yes, but students still voted for Reagan.

A.Students voted for Reagan for primari-
lythesame reasons that the rest of the public
did—economics. They have conservative
attitudes on tax policies, on the role of busi-
ness, But that doesn’t make them conserva-
tives on social issues—reproduction, abor-
tion, comparable worth, pay equity, ERA
—and that’s what I'm organizing on.

Q And just what do you want to accom
plish on campuses?

‘A. want students to get activein the fight
to keep abortion and birth control legal and
safe, and also to get activein the fight tosave
Title IX through passage of the Civil Rights
Restoration Act of 1985. Also, we're going
tostart an ERA campaign on thestate level.

Q-How do you expect students to help you?

A. We're going tohhavea huge march next
spring for keeping abortion safe, and they
certainly can participate in and organize in
that. We have a lot of coming-from-behind
todo, and wecan’t doit just by making deals
with politicians. We have to show them that
they need us more than we need them. It's
time to get back out on thestreets and raise
little hell.

Q The Civil Rights Restoration Act would
restore and extend Title IX antidiserimina-
tion laws in institutions that receive federal
funds, Isn't it possible such federal compul-
sion isn't needed any longer?

A. It’s true that we now have substantial
numbers of women in all the professional
schools. But they're there because the laws

NEWSWEEK ON CAMPUS/SEPTEMBER 1985

| changed in the’70s. The doors were opened |
because we helped push them open, and we
pushed them open with legislation and the
possibility of a lawsuit, There are still preju-
dices in our society, And I believe that |
without the thrust of a mandate from the
federal government you will see a lapse.

Q. But there has been substantial progress.

Isthata problem in organizing one mpuses

and elsewhere? |
A. Our biggest problem in organizing

young people is to paint the picture as it is.

‘They have a picture that is more eg

than is in fact the case. Especially women in

| college situations—they by and large have

not run up against discrimination them-
selves yet. They have this strong feeling that
it won't hit them. They're not as worried as
women who have been out in the market-
place fighting for 5 or 10 years. On abortion
there is this feeling that it won't be made |
illegal—it can’t be. They just can't visualize
that this could change.

Q Aren't you in a sense victimized by your
own succesies—by a lack of knowledge on
campuses of the iys,"" by the fact
that most women feel the
sting of discrimination until they leave?

‘A. We have to ex
fight is not over. In fact, we're midstreai
this fight and we can go backward. We are
in fact, going backward! In the decade from
1965 to 1975 a lot of laws were passed that

ndicated the country was moving to elimi-
nate discrimination. Now it’s 1985, and we |

can point to people actually going back-
ward: the ERA failing, abortion clinics clos-
ing, the right wing on the attack.

Q In fact, aren't you being outorganized
by the right?

‘A. When I go around saying, “We've got
to raise a fuss,” people criticize me and say,
“Oh, those are the tactics of the "60s." They
don't even realize that it is right-wingers
who are using those “old-fashioned” tactics
now—the marches and demonstrations,

Q Are mate students with you too?

A. My analysis of polls and my real-life
experience is that women under 29 are the
most accepting group for our message. 1
wouldn't say men and women are equally
with us, It is primarily a female tar

Q. How do you win over college men?
A. You have to present the economic
analysis, which says that they are being
ripped off, too. Most of them are going to be
married, and most of their combined family
\comes will be affected by discrimination,

Q What would the reaction of the Ellie
Smeal at Duke in 1960 have been to the El-
Jie Smeal of today?

‘A. In thedays when I went toschool, Lean

When I went to college at Duke, my good-
ness, if you didn’t have a ring by your junior
year, this was a big catastrophe! Everything
Tevolved around the wedding ring, Those
patterns have all changed,

Q. What about the notion that many pro
Sessional women in their late 20s and their
‘30s—beneficiaries, in a sense, of the equal-
rights movement—are now deciding to
chuck it all and stay home and have kids?

A. There may be some stories in the me-
dia, but there is just not data to substantiate
this “late baby boom” business. Our oppo
nents are trying to encourage the notion
that women are giving up.

Q In this battle of images, what do
point to that's part of the American Way,
some positive thing that is the result of and
reflects equal rights and reproductive rights
for women?

A. Sally Ride is good imagery. Geraldine
Ferraro is good imagery. They can see that,
my God, there is a whole new door open to
them, We're not negativists. Young women
have their own aspirations. So we ask: do
you really want those doors closed? We ask
women in college: why are you here? What
do you want that's different? We just have to
remind them of their aspirations—and that
they are threatened now more than they
may realize.

lythesame reasons that the rest of the public |
did—economics. They have conservative
attitudes on tax policies, on the role of bus

ess. But that doesn’t make them conserva-

ves on social issues—reproduction, abor-

jon, comparable worth, pay equity, ERA
—and that’s what I'm organizing:

Q And just what do you want to accom-
plish on campuses?

to keep abortion and birth control legal and
safe, and also to get active in the fight tosave

young people is to paint the picture as it is.

A. We're going to have a huge march next
spring for keeping abortion safe, and they
certainly can participate in and organize in
that. We have a lot of coming-from-behind

A. I's true that we now have substantial
numbers of women in all the professional
schools. But they're there because the laws

not run up against discrimination them-
selves yet. They have thisstrong feeling that
it won't hit them. They're not as worried as
women who have been out in the market-
place fighting for 5 or 10 years. On abortion
there is this feeling that it won't be made
illegal—it can’t be. They just can’t visualize
that this could change.

When you write, you make
sound in the reader's head. It can
be a dull mumble — that’s why so
much government prose makes you
sleepy —or it can be a joyful noise,
sly whisper, a throb of passion.

Listen to a voice trembling in
a haunted room:

“And the silken, sad, uncertain
rustling of each purple curtain
thrilled me—filled me with fan-

s never felt before. . ."
's Edgar Allan Poe, a

s w of us can make piper
speak as vividly as Poe could, but
even beginners will write better
once they start listening to the
sound their writing makes.

One of the most important
tools for making paper speak in
your own voice is punctuation.

When speaking aloud, you

punctuate constantly — with
Poa language. Your lstenet
hears commas, dashes, ques-
tion mark: ion points, §
quotation marks as you shout,
whisper, pause, wave your arms,
roll your eyes, wrinkle your brow.
In writing, punctuation plays

My tons of the ae sol bye tnd, to.
(Gnade of paoncttaation can help you hal a

the role of body language. It helps

readers hear you the way you want
to be heard.

“Gee, Dad, have I got to learn
all

em rules?”

Dont let the rules scare you. For
they aren't hard and fast. Think of
them as guidelines.

Am I saying, “Go ahead and

unctuate as you please”? Abso-

of punctuation:

1. The loose or open system,
which tries to capture the way
body language punctuates talk.

2. The tight, closed structural
system, which hews closely to the
sentence’ grammatical structure.

Most writers use a little of
both. In any case, we use much less
punctuation than ey used 200 or
even 50 years ago. (Glance into
Edward Gibbon’ “Decline and Fall
of the Roman Empire,” first pub-
lished in 1776, for an
example of the
tight structural
system at its
most elegant.)

No matter
which

system you prefer, be warned:
punctuation marks cannot save
asentence that is badly put
together. If you have to struggle
‘over commas, semicolons and

you've probably built a sen-

never going to fly, no
matter how you tinker with it.
Throw it away and build a new one
toa simpler design. The better
your sentence, the easier it is to
punctuate.
Choosing the right tool

There are 30 main punctuation
marks, but youll need fewer than a
dozen for most writing.

I can't show you in this small
space how they all work, so I'll
stick to the ten most important—
and even then can only hit high-
lights. For more details, check your
dictionary or a good grammar,

Comma, }

This is the most widely used
mark of all. It also the tough
and most controversial. I've seen
aging editors almost come to blows
over the comma. If you can handle
it without sweating, the others will
be easy. Here’ my policy:

1. Use a comma after a long
introductory phrase or clause: After
stealing the crown jewels from the
Tower of London, I went home for tea.

2. If the introduc
tory material is
short, forget the
comma: After the
theft I went home
for tea.

3. But use it if
the sentence would
be confusing with-
out it, like thi
The day before I'd
robbed the Bank of
England.

4. Use a com-
ma to separate
elements ina

series: | robbed the

Denver Mint, the Bank of England,
the Tower of London and my piggy bank.

Notice there is no comma
before and in the series. This is com-
mon style nowadays, but some pub-
lishers use a comma there, too.

5. Use a comma to separate
independent clauses that are joined

by a conjunction like and, but, for,
or_nor_because or so: I shall return
the crown jewels, for they are too
heavy to wear.

6. Use a comma to set
off a mildly parenthetical
word grouping that isn't
essential to the sen-

irls, who have
always interested me,
usually differ from boys.

Do not use com-
mas if the word
grouping is essential
to the sentence’s
meaning: Girls who
interest me know how
to tango.

7. Use a comma in
direct address: Your majesty, tion mar
please hand over the crown.

8. And between proper names
and titles: Montague Sneed, Director
of Scotland Yard, was assigned the case.

9. And to separate elements of
geographical address: Director Sneed
comes from Chicago, Illinois, and now
lives in London, England.

Generally speaking, use a com-
ma where you'd pause briefly in
speech. For a long pause or com-
pletion of thought, use a period.

If you confuse the comma with
the period, you'll get a run-on sen-
tence: The Bank of England is located
in London, I rushed right over to rob it.

Semicolon [ ; ]

A more sophisticated mark
than the comma, the semicolon
separates two main clauses, but it
keeps those two thoughts more
tightly linked than a period can: I
| steal crown jewels; she steals hearts.

Dash [ — Jand
Parentheses [ () ]

Notice the comma comes
before the quote marks in the first

the second. Not logical? Never

Apostrophe [ ’ ]

The big headache is with pos-
sessive nouns. If the noun is sin-
gular, add 5: I hated Betty's tango.

If the noun is plural, simply
add an apostrophe after the s:

ose are the girls’ coats.

The same applies for singular
nouns ending in , like Dickens:
This is Dickens's best book.

And in plural: This is the
Dickenses' cottage.

The possessive pronouns

hers and its have no

apostrophe.

EDUCATION

Not Weird—Just Different

With no grades or course credits, Hampshire students help create their own education.

Tradition at the nontraditional: Randi King rings out the completion of her degree

44

rade-point averages do not exist at
G Hampshire College, for two very
good reasons. First, there are no
grades at Hampshire. And second, the
school doesn't give credits for courses
completed. There also aren't any freshmen
or sophomores or juniors or seniors. A
student graduates by passing a series of
“examinations,” which really aren't tests
the blue-book or multiple-choice sense.
If all this sounds confusing and weird,
well, it is and it isn't. Hampshire has
students and faculty and courses and
learning, but they combine in a way that
doesn't happen on other college campuses.
The school has been described as experi-
mental, alternative and nontraditional. “I
prefer distinctive,” says Adele Simmons,
president of the college. “It implies that we
have a clear sense of what we are, that we
are different and that we are going to be
this way for a while.”

Hampshire was born unique. Located in
the lovely Connecticut River valley a few
miles south of Amherst, Mass., it was
created by a consortium of four neighbor-
ing schools—Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Am-

| herst and the University of Massachusetts.

Back in 1958, even before the “troubles” of
the °60s, they laid plans to meet the “cri-
sis” in higher education by setting up a
new sort of campus where students would
take responsibility for building their own
academic programs and scholars would
break out of their rigid, departmental cub-
byholing. This dream did not start coming
true until 1965, when a wealthy Amherst
alumnus donated $6 million. In 1970—at a
time when student rebellion resounded
around the country—Hampshire accepted
its first class. Although the 1958 schema
was modified somewhat, the twin hall-
marks of Hampshire—self-motivated stu-
dents and interdisciplinary curricula—
were still intact. “When we were brand
new, there was a flush of freshness,” says
David Smith, codean of the Humanities
and Arts school and one of the first
faculty to arrive. “This was a virtually
Utopian place.”

Not everybody was quite that thrilled.
Many scholars judged the academic pro-
gram too permissive, and the liberal bent
of the students and faculty reinforced
the widespread belief that “Camp Hamp”
was a frivolous, almost completely anar-
chic place. Now, in the age of Reagan,
freewheeling Hampshire has regained its
momentum. Schoo! officials have craft
ly emphasized the opportunities for “e

AMERICAN EXPRESS REAL LIFE PLANNER

In October, The American Express Real Life Planner will cover
the fine art of net working, and help you learn how to discreet-
ly look tor your second job while still gainfully employed on
your first; you'll also pick up tips on working your way up the
ladder with the help of others in related fields. In November,
you'll learn more than you ever thought possible on the sub-
ject of office politics; learning what to wear, what to talk about
and where to sit (yes, where to sit) can often mean the dif-
ference between a promotion and a dead end.

In our February 1986 installment, The Real Life Planner
will help you manage your money smartly and efficiently, so

EDUCATION

Nugent took a total of eight structured
classes. Says Harmon Dunathon, Hamp-
shire’s dean of faculty, "We do not say to a
student, "You must do this, this and t
‘We do not say you have to have 32 credits
in these areas." Inevitably, many new stu-
dents have trouble adapting and end up
doing what has come to be known as
‘creative floundering." Says Jim Manolis,
a second-year student in environmental
studies and environmental education, “It's
hard to figure out the system—how this
place works.

Che college isn’t as anarchic as it
appear. Students must complete courses
and do a noncourse project in each of the
four schools; these are known as Division I
exams and are similar to distribution re-

rements at other colleges. The Division
il requircmen)—a grouping of rlaled ace:
demic work, both in and out of classes,
climaxing with a significant project—re
sembles a major, although it rarely consists
of courses in a'single discipline. Second-
year student Sameer Aurora, for example,

ics and Third World development.

he climax of a Hampshire educa-
tion—and the final requirement for
graduation—is the Division 11
am." Students must complete what
amounts to an ambitious honors thesis,
usually focusing on a specific topic that
grows out of their Div. II studies. (It's also
the occasion for one of the few traditions
that the relatively young school has devel-
oped: students celebrate the completion of
their Div. III by ringing a bell attached to |
the library building.) Last spring Paul
Robbins rang the bell after completing his
comparative study of mitochondrial DNA |
in different dog breeds. Stephen Hart satis- |
fied his Division III requirement through a
series of photographs of the Hispanic com-
munity in nearby Holyoke.

id he never got a grade for it, Faculty
believe—and students seem to agree—that
detailed, written evaluations give a better
understanding of how well a student has
performed. “I know so much more about
what I'm doing,” says Lila Hurwitz,
third-year dance student, “I know what I
did really well and what I could have done
better.” While evaluations help students
focus more on learning for its own sake,
they take some getting used to. “I miss
grades,” says Jennifer Vest, now in her

in.” The lack of grades, coupled with the

programs, makes Hampshire seem very

night, you're not going to get anywhere.”

It's not that the students are antisocial,
| really, as much as independent to an

extreme. Now in its entrepreneurial phase,
Hampshire may have lost its hippicfied
image, but it still attracts a different breed.
“It’s easy to get an impression that people
are wacked out,” says second-year student
| Peter Winters. Not everyone meets the
Hampshire standard. “We have an ex-
| tremely idealistic philosophy of educa-
| tion,” says Dean Dunathon, “and some-
| times it fails. Some kids can't operate in
| this system." Although Hampshire stu-
dents can't “flunk out” in the accept
ed sense, they can be dismissed for fail-
ing to make satisfactory progress. And a
| substantial number of students simply
| want more structure than Hampshire pro-

‘tor ordered

vides. The college has a higher-than-aver-
ansfer rate—from 20 to 25 percent in
| recent years.

Last spring Hampshire decided to make
it easier for new students to adapt by
allowing two of the Division I require-
ments to be satisfied through course work
only. Many Hampshire students complain
that this is the first step toward turning the
place into an ordinary liberal-arts college,
but president Simmons notes that two of
the Division I exams still must be complet- |
ed the old-fashioned (for Hampshire) way. |
And the suggestion that Hampshire may
be backpedaling philosophically annoys
Miriam Slater, dean of the Social Science
school, “What's really exciting here is
the intellectual substance Slater says,
tapping her right temple. “Where we're
going is the important thing, not the proc-
ess by which we get there.” But now, as
always, Hampshire gets there in its very
own fashion.

heads off live chickens and eating glass. Well, Harry is going geck.
For openers he sticks not one but two long needles through his

‘There's something about a guy who admits he's a liar that makes
you think he's telling the truth,” Anderson says, with the slightly
crooked grin ofa hustler who could sell acan of gasoline toa man on
fire and leave him thinking he had a bargain. James Burrows, pro-
ducer/director of “Cheers,” says, "He has a wonderful charm, a
very innocent face, sweet personality and sso endearing, Because of
it, youdon’tdislike him when he fleeces you.”

‘Anderson doesn’t talk much about his background, but indica-
tionsarethatit wasn't pleasant, alot ofstreet timeand shell gamesin-

“Night Court” role seemed al-

most written for Anderson—a As the judge: ‘A natural actor’

cocky judge named Harry, who

presides over a courtroom of misfits and pulls an occasional card

stunt to keep the folksalert. But to get the part Anderson had to beat

out “real actors” like Jeff Goldblum, William Devane and Barry

Bostwick. “I feel like I've succeeded with a big con,” Anderson |

says. “I don’t see myselfas an actor." His colleagues insist, though,

that the “Aw, shucks” stance is just-one more con. Markie Post,
who is replacing Ellen Foley this,
season as public defender on
“Night Court," says, “He'
most natural’ actor I've eve
worked with. He puts himself
into the character and makes it
work, whichallactors try todo.”

‘To Anderson, the con man is

more than an act—he is a sym-
bol. People are attracted to
“anyone who is in control of
the game,” Anderson says. “If
someone can handle people ef-
fectively, we are drawn to
him, whether he is a salesman,
actor, preacher or con man.”
Anderson says.a good con shows
people “what we hope we can
become—sane, in-control, well-
adjusted, wise individuals.” The
con entertains while he swindles
and learns as he teaches.

“We've been doin’ our hakes

chanan and bandmates Robert
Bell and Paul Moore have clear-
ly arrived. Their debut album,
“A Walk Across the Rooftops,”
impressed critics when it was
released in Britain last year—
and the record seems likely to
do the same now that it's been
picked up by an American label.

Buchanan, Bell and Moore
first got together as students at
Glasgow University. back in
1981. None had much musical
experience. “We just sort of
messed about for a wee while,"
says Buchanan. The trio’s inex-
perience, and attendant lack of
preconceptions, may explain
the distinctiveness

singer, Buchanan isn’t afraid to
push himself to the edge of his
vocal range in order to make an
emotional point; though he
sometimes risks sounding ama-
teurish, he always hits the evoc-
ative note he's after. As arrang-

For all their obvious talent,
Buchanan, Bell and Moore are
surprisingly little known—even

part, their continuing obscurity
is their own fault; unlike most
professional bands, The Blue

an album without ever playing

“The Big Chill on the Little
Screen” or “The Return of the
Return of the Secaucus Seven.”
After all, with its photogenic

Why shouldn't it be? The fact
is, Julie and Dinah Kirgo, the

SUNY votes to divest as S. African stocks drop

By Bill Jacob
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Although the SUNY Board of
Trustees fufitled a long term goal
of student activists when it voted
to divest its stock holdings in cor-
porations that do business in
South Africa ‘last Tuesday, the
change of policy may have been
supported by some trustees ‘for
all the wrong reasons,” according
to Jane McAlevey, President of
the Student Association of the
State University (SASU).

Concern about the declining
value of South African-related
stocks may have played a vital
role in the final vote, McAlevey
Said, rather than objections to the
South . African government's
policy of apartheid- a strict
separation of races with civi
rights reserved only for whites,

The board voted 9-4 in favor of
divesting the SUNY endowment
fund within the next year, while
reserving the right to rescind the
divestment resolution if positive
changes in South Africa warrant
the revocation,

“We came to a majority con-
sensus, if not a unanimous con-
sensus, because there area great
many opinions on this board in
question,” Board of ‘Trustees
Chairman Donald M. Blinken
said at the meeting. *

The stocks of thirteen com-
panies, valued at $11,512,94
cording to SUNY’s press office,
will be affected by the board’s
decision to divest, including those
of Eastman Kodak, CBS, and
IBM.

Opponents of the divestment
proposal made their statements at
the board meeting first, saying

that divestment would not help
blacks gain’ freedom in South
Africa. U.S. economic interests in
the country should instead be us-
ed. as political leverage in
negotiating for their rights: It was
also stated that the board could
not fully understand the situation
in South Africa and should follow
the anti-divestment recommenda-
tions of the Ford Foundation,
which has researched the issu:
‘American corporations are’ ac-
tually a positive force in South
Africa, said Darwin Wales, a
trustee who voted against divest-
ment. In an interview after the
meeting, he said,‘My. guess is
it(the end of apartheid) will take

some length of time and the’

cooperation of a lot of corpora-
tions and it would be better done
with the American corporations
present. The,way to bring about a
change is. going to have to be led
by important’ businesses and
personages.'?

_ McAlevey, a. member of the
Board of Trustees, concluded the
session with, a short statement
recommending that the board
follow public opinion and divest
its investments, ‘Thisis a, public
university. [ think it. is. very
significant that as @ public univer-
sity we do take some action in
V1 eareoenewpeor nif
public opinion,"” she said.

The Budget, Investment and
Capital Program Committee held
a meeting last Monday to
specifically discuss the divestment
issue and,make a recommenda-
tion to thie full Board of Trustees
the following day, McAlevey
said. ‘The chair of it (the
mereting), Darwin Wales, decided

he was going to allow all of the
trustees who were present to vote,
and not just the investment com-

Public Saftey continues to receive

telephone calls have diminished con-

plausible lead is investigated.

Calls from across the nation have been
reaching the two agencies involved.

Recently, a call came in, with inform
tion that Karen was seen working as a
waitress at a truck stop in Harrisburgh,
Pennsylvania, The Department “acted
quickly, and interviewed the woman.
Although there was an uncanny
resemblance, the lead turned out to be
negative," said Williams.

Williams said, ‘This investigation has

‘September 27 was not marked by any
ceremony:on campus. In fact the day pass-
ed:by much as any other Frida
ference was that it marked the six month
anniversary of SUNYA student Karen
Wilson’s disappearance.

Both University and state police are con-
tinuing the investigation and have ruled
‘out the possibility that Wilson left volun
tarily, according to Director of Public
Safety James Williams.

Police have determined, Williams ex-
plained, that Wilson had only $3.34 in
cash with her when she disappeared, and
that she left behind plane tickets for a
planned Spring Break trip to Florida.

Wilson also had a major credit card in
her possession when she disappeared,
Williams said, but the card has not been
used since then,

“To our complete satisfaction, we feel
that Karen did not runaway, She was a
good student, very close with her parents,
roommate and friends, and had no pro-
blems,"* said Williams,

‘The investigation is being handled by of-
ficlals at the Public Safety Division at
