Plunging for dollars

Some people will do anything for a good cause, including getting
dunked during a chilly spring day at Telethon’s first-ever Carnival
Friday.

Between 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., SUNYA students walking across
the podium were able to play Carnival games like ring toss, win
prizes like stuffed animals, and eat foods from around the world.

According to Neil Kapolongo, Co-chair of Telethon ’86’s Car-
nival Committee, the event raised about $2,000 for the Charities.

Telethon ’86 will be donating their money to the Child Cancer
Care Program, the Spina Bifida Program at Albany Medical
Center, and the Parson’s Child and Family Center.

The Carnival could become a yearly event for Telethon, said
Kapolongo. Considering the weather, “‘we did really well,”’ he
said, adding that if weather was better they would have made bet-
ween $3,000 and $4,000.

Roadblock for dorm cleared ©
Construction to be completed by Fall ’87

By Ilene Weinstein
‘NEWS EDITOR

Plans for the construction of a $6 million dor-
mitory on Fuller Road can get underway again due
to a revision in a U.S. House of Representatives
tax-reform bill which had caused a temporary
postponement.

Scheduled to open by Fall, 1987, the dormitory is
to accomodate 400 students and reduce the demand
on off-campus housing.

The project will be financed through the Dor-
mitory Authority, which is empowered by New
York State to finance construction for a variety of
public agencies by selling tax-exempt bonds.

The bill, commonly referred to as ‘3131’,
originally called for a limit on the number of tax-
exempt bonds that could be issued to finance
construction.

A revision of the bill, which has passed the House
and is now under consideration by the Senate, mov-
ed the effective date of the limitations back to
September 1, 1986. Bonds sold before this date will
remain tax-exempt.

It is harder to sell bonds that are not tax-exempt,
said SUNYA President Vincent O’Leary. “Bonds
are always a sensitive issue.””

A project of build a $10 million dollar parking
garage at SUNY Binghamton was also postponed
because of the tax-reform bill.

Although the tax-reform plan has not passed
through.the Senate yet, it -is “‘being treated like
Jaw,” said Sam Davidson, Director of Project
Management for the Dormitory Authority.

In order to sell the bonds before the September 1,
1986 effective date, the Authority will be bidding to
investment bankers for about $10.3 million in
bonds.

These funds will cover both the Fuller Road"
dorm and the Binghamton project, said Tom
Devane, the Dormitory Authority’s Deputy Direc-
tor for Planning and Financial Analysis.

Bidding will open April 16 at 11 a.m. and a buyer
should be found by 11:30 a.m., said Devane. “‘It’s
all computerized,” he said.

The authority sells bonds to investment banking
underwriters, who in turn can make the bonds
available to the public, said Devane.

Once the bonds are sold, an architect and con-
truction firm will be selected by June 26.

According to John Ardus, the Dormitory
Authority’s Project Manager for SUNYA’s student
housing project, the dcorm is a ‘design-build pro-
ject,”’ where a team of an architect and construc-
tion firm will be selected.

Currently, four teams from Albany area have ex-
pressed interest in the project: Mendel, Misick,
Cohen, Waite, Hall Architects and the L.A. Sweyer
Co.; Clozier, Philippi Associates and the Beltrone
Construction, Co.; O’Connor and Marsh Co., and
Bast Hatfield, Inc.’ Einhorn, Yoffee, Prescott Ar-
chitects and U.C. Associates.

Design manuals with specifications for
bedrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, storage
rooms, etc. will be sent to the firms, who will bid on
the project.

While the designers are not “‘limited to suit the
exterior appearance’’ to the rest of SUNYA, they
must meet certain specifications, including a
minimum of 48 3-bedroom suites, 35 2-bedroom
suites, and 10 1-bedroom singles in the dorms, said
Andrus.

Construction should ‘‘start fairly rapidly,” said
Davidson.

N.Y. legislative budget protects 373 SUNY jobs

Albany
{AP) New York’s Legislators completed
action over the weekend on a new state
budget estimated at more than $41.5
billion.
The budget, for the fiscal year that
began Tuesday, represents an increase in
state controlled spending of at least 7.4

Governor Mario Cuomo

percent.

Legislation was approved that increases
SUNY dormitory rents about $100 a year,
and the Legislature rejected proposals by
Gov. Cuomo to eliminate 373 university
jobs.

Also included in the budget is $500,000
earmarked for scholarships to qualified
black South Africans who want to attend
colleges and universities in New York. The
program for distributing the scholarships
would be run by the state Higher Educa-
tion Services Corp.

In addition, the Legislature gave the
community colleges about $13 million
more in aid than the governor proposed
and it raised about $36 million the funding
for the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)
that aids college students.

After much haggling over the budget
document, the Republican controlled state
Senate finally completed action on the
final budget bill at 3:10 a.m. Saturday.
The Democratic controlled Assembly had
finished just three minutes earlier. ~

“Maybe we forgot to do something,”
said Assembly Speaker Stanley Fink (D-

Brooklyn) when he was reminded that the
61-member Senate traditionally was faster
than the 150-member Assembly in com-
pleting work on major legislation.

State Senate Majority Leader Warren
Anderson (R-Binghamton) insists that
Democrats Fink and Gov. Mario Cuomo
did forget something in the new budget-
new tax cuts.

Anderson and his GOP Senate majority
had pushed for bigger tax cuts than the
three-year plan enacted last year, but
Cuomo and Fink said the state couldn’t af-
ford them, The two Democrats stressed
that tax cuts worth $1.1 billion to New
Yorkers take effect this year as the second

. part of the three year plan.

Anderson’s proposed tax cut measures
would be worth $3.9 billion over the next
five years. He had the package approved
by the Senate and said he would make tax
cuts an issue to be used against Democrats
in this ‘November’s elections. While
Anderson’s tax cut package was shot down
by Democrats, the majority leader rejected
Cuomo’s various fee hike proposals, in-
cluding increases in the license and

registration fees of about 500,000 New
York professionals.

In the end, the lengthy budget adoption
process left many legislators exasperated.

“‘T think we finally reached the limits of
our capacity for whatever it was that was
going on,”’ said Assembly Health Commit-
tee Chairman James Tallon (D-
Binghamton) as he left the state capital on
Saturday carrying two suitcases.

Many of the legislators are headed off
for vacations. They are not due back in
session until April 16.

Fink described this year’s budget battle
as “tedious and nitpicking.’’ Anderson
called it ‘‘a breech birth.””

While lawmakers didn’t bring back to
their constituents news about more tax
cuts, they were able to report billions of
dollars worth of new spending backed by
Democrats and Republicans.

The budget included a record $695
million increase in state aid to 736 school
districts that will be sent out during the
next school year. The total level of state

aid rose to $6.55 billion. oO

Bush meets with Fahd

Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
(AP) Vice-President George Bush confer-
red with King Fahd until the early morning
hours Monday and the two leaders agreed
Saudi Arabia did not provoke the collapse
in oil prices that has punished American
producers, a senior U.S. official said.

The U.S. official, who spoke on condi-
tion he not be identified, said, ‘I'd say
what came through was he — Fahd —
thought that Saudi Arabia was being — in
non-royal language — given the bum rap
in stories about its role in the oil world.”

Bush made clear to the king ‘‘that Saudi
interests and U.S. interests are not iden-
tical with regard to oil pricing,’’ the U.S.
official said, without elaborating.

On Monday, Bush travelled to the oil
rich Persian Gulf state of Bahrain for the
second stop of a Middle East tour that also
includes visits to Oman and North Yemen.

Arab terrorists blamed

Berlin
(AP) U.S. military installations imposed
intense security precautions as police
pressed thir hunt for terrorists who bomb-
ed a West Berlin nightclub frequented by
American soldiers, killing two people and
injuring 204.
West German newspapers reported Sun-
day that city and U.S. military police were
focusing on Arab extremists who might
have crossed into West Berlin from this
divided city’s communist eastern sector to
stage the early Saturday morning
bombing.

U.S. diplomatic sources in West Berlin
said there eas strong suspicion the radical
Libyan regime of Col. Moammar Khadafy
may have been involved in the bomb at-
tack, which devasted the La Belle
discotheque.

West Germany’s foreign minister, Hans
Dietrich Genscher, set up a ‘working
group of experts’ to investigate possible
involvement of unidentified foreign
governments in the bombing.

The State
AIDS rule challenged

DeWitt
(AP) The teachers union in the Jamesville
DeWitt School District is challenging the
district’s new policy on faculty and
students who contract AIDS, but ad-
ministrators say it may be a moot
objection.

Last December, the board passed a
Policy saying that all teachers, staff and
students with Acquired Immune Deficien-
cy Syndrome would face temporary
Suspension until district officials determin-
ed whether they could safely return.

The policy carries a provision that it be’

reviewed at least annually.

In a filing with the state Public
Employees Relations Board, the
Jamesville DeWitt Faculty Association
claimed the policy violates its contract and
should have been negotiated.

Ruling may

By Pam Conway
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

A recent U.S. Supreme Court action on
funding systems of Public Interest
Research Groups (PIRGs) may jeopardize
current funding methods of NYPIRG.

Last month, the Supreme Court let
stand a Third Circuit court decision in the
case of Galda y. Bloustein ruling Rutgers
University’s “‘mandatory refundable’ fee
for its chapter of NJPIRG
unconstitutional.

Although Third Circuit decisions are
limited to New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, and the Virgin Islands, some
conservative groups are claiming that it
marks the beginning of an anti-PIRG
trend that may extend to other states.

Galda v. Bloustein was initiated in 1979
by three Rutgers students who oposed hav-
ing to-pay a separate $3.50 fee to NJPIRG
even though they had the option of getting
the money refunded. The plaintifs were
represented by the Mid-Atlantic Legal
Foundation which pursues conservating
issues through the courts.

The plaintiffs in Galda v. Bloustein, as
well as many conservative groups, main-
tain that any form of mandatory PIRG
funding on campuses, even if students may
request their money refunded, violates
students’ constitutional rights.

“Students should be given a choice,”’
said Craig Rucher, former member of
Students Against Forced Funding

cease NYPIRG funding

(STAFF), which fought NYPIRG’s fun-
ding system at SUNYA.

Rucher, currently a plaintiff in an anti-
mandatory funding case involving New
York State, Carroll v. Blinken, said that
while he is not against NYPRIG as a
group, it should not be funded through
student activity fees because of the
political nature of its work. Rucher’s case
involves funding at SUNYA, SUNY
Binghamton, and New Paltz.

However, Tom Wathen, NYPIRG ex-
ecutive director said that NYPIRG’s fun-
ding system is fair because it is a part of
student activity fees and students get the
opportunity to vote for or against it in
regularly-scheduled referendums.

Currently, SUNYA students pay $3 per
semester to fund NYPIRG and referen-

dums held every two years in which
students may vote on this) system.”

NYPIRG won its 1985 referendum by a
margin of 69 to 31 percent.

According to Wathen, Galda v. Blous-
tein set a ‘‘dangerous precedent’’ because
“the courts can now tell state universities
to exclude a student group from funding
because of what it-does.’’

Although Wathen said that the decision
in that case has “‘no precedential value,’’
he admits that it does ‘‘strenghten the
hand”’ of other would-be plaintiffs involv-
ed in the cases concerning funding prac-
tices in the Third Circuit.

Groups such as student newspapers

could conceivably lose funding, according
to Wathen, because of the Third Circuit
Court may now rule on the nature of their
work.

“It is the same reasoning,” said
Wathen, ‘‘as Accuracy in Academia,
which argues when it feels a professor is
too liberal.”

However, Rucher said that NYPIRG is
highly political because ‘“‘they maintain ac-
tive lobbyists, have an active agenda, and
the money they get exits the campus.”
Rucker suggested that NYPIRG be funded
on’a voluntary basis.

The Second Circuit Court, which has
jurisdiction over New York, is scheduled
to hear the case of Carroll v. Bloustein. If
Rucker and the other plaintiffs were to
win, ‘‘“NYPIRG would be forced to accept
voluntary funding,’ said Rucher, adding
that he is ‘‘very optimistic about
winning.”

Stacey Young, SUNYA’s NYPIRG pro-
ject coordinator, said that NYPIRG
*Sdoesn’t expect to lose’’ in the Second cir-
cuit because ‘‘ a lot of courts are conscious
of protecting academic freedom.”

Young also said that she feels NYPIRG
is not a political group. ‘‘We are an educa-
tional group working with political
activities.””

Under current SUNY funding, money
from student activity fees can only go
towards groups of an educational,

Student leaders clash on state of SA

By Ken Dornbaum
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Student Association’s Executive Branch
is in a crisis situation, according to key
members of Central Council, although SA
executives say the charges are unfounded.

Apathy has spread accross the Executive
Branch and has cause SA to have problems
functioning, charged Central Council
Academic Affairs Chair Mike Miller.

Programming has not been at all suc-
cessful, said Miller, and morale and effec-
tiveness are at an all-time low. Executive
Branch officials refuse to acknowledge the
situation, Miller added.

Miller, who ran against SA President
Steve Gawley in last year’s SA elections,
said that Gawley’s misunderstanding of
the University Senate is a prime example of
what’s wrong in the Executive Branch.
This, said Miller, has cost SA voters in the
Senate and set SA back years.

Miller explained that there are no stu-
dent chairs in the University Senate and
that there are only 19 student senators out
of a possible 22.

Executive Branch officials say that these
charges are untrue.

“SA is not in a crisis situation,’’ said
Gawley. ‘‘I think these accusations are
totally ridiculous.’’

Not very much has gotten done by the
Executive Branch this year, said Central

”

Council Internal Affairs Chair Nathaniel
Charny, who worked on Miller’s SA
presidential campaign last year. ‘‘They’re
not getting anyone outside of their clique
inyolved,”’ he said.

“The budget is in sad shape, said Inter-
nal Affair Vice-Chair Steve Landis. Landis
also worked on Miller’s bid for SA
presidency last year. Athletic-wise it really
hurts and it’s going to hurt future SAs.””

Miller said he may try toform a special
committee to investigate SA’s problems
and how to solve them. ‘‘Programming is
not going well at all and morale and effec-
tiveness is an all-time low,” he said, ad-
ding that February’s Gamble Fling, SA’s
big progrmaming event this semester, lost
$2,500.

Miller also said that many groups are
currently facing leadership problems, and
some, such as the Pep Band, have been in-
active since this year due to lack of
leadership.

Central Council member Steve Kaplan
said that although administering SA is a
“tough job, I feel they [members of the
Executive Branch] could do a better job.
What they do is play up popular issues and
avoid the big problems.’’

“The Executive Branch acts like they
run [Central Council] meetings,’ said
Kaplan. ‘‘I’d like to see Central Council
have as much over them as they have over

asi?

“Some people, like Steve [Gawley] are.
intolerant of divergent views,’’ said Miller.
**There were discrepencies on a bill about
about loans for Dippikill ... Steve harrass-
ed the members of Council who disagreed
with him,” he said.

“The [officers] are not always there to
be responded to,”’ said Landis. “‘Debate
that is entered into is not on a level to pro-
mote the best policy, but done on a level
which encourages personal conflict,” he
said.

“There’s an attitude of ‘agree with me
or I will crush you’ on the part of the Ex-
ecutive Branch,’’ said Miller. They make
those who don’t agree with them “‘political
lepers,’’ he said.

Kaplan said that although he doesn’t see
the situation as being the crisis that Miller
does, he said it is a situation in need of
improvement.

Gawley, however, said that SA is in
good shape and that his administration has
accomplished much,

Those who made the accusations had an
**axe to grind” stemming from last year’s
SA elections, said Gawley.

“Miller’s charge that I set us back votes
in the University Senate is totally
ridiculous,” said Gawley. ‘‘He can’t lay
blame on me for any single mishap.’’

Ce
Escort service

expanding to
Alumni Quad

By Evelyn Snitofsky
STAFF WRITER

The Don’t Walk Alone escort service
is expanding its program to Alumni
Quad, according to the group’s director
Cheryl Oransoff, but only on a trial
basis.

From Tuesday, April 8, to Wednes-
day, April 30 escorts will be available on
Alumni Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights from 9 to 11 p.m.

According to Oransoff, escorts will be
working our of a phone-equipped office
in Waterbury hall, and will be walking
down Partridge and Ontario streets bet-
ween Western and Washington
Avenues. ‘“‘We will only operate on
campus property, not city property,”’
she said, ‘‘so service will only be at those
two stops.’’

Whether or not Don’t Walk Alone
will continue operating on Alumni Quad
in the Fall will largely depend on how
many people use the service during its
trial period, said Oransoff.

“I will most definitely. use the escort
service,’ said Alumni Quad resident
Gayle Wayre. ‘‘Right now, if I’m going
to be uptown after 9 p.m., I won’t take
the bus alone unless I have someone
meet me at the corner of Washington
and Ontario. I’y had some bad ex-
periences (like) taxi drivers stopping and
saying things to me,”’ she said.

Stephanie Sanchez, a Teaching Assis-
tant for the Women’s Self Defense Class
offerred by SUNYA’s Department of
Physical Education and an Alumni
Quad resident said, ‘‘In teaching women
self-defense, we tell them to use the
escort service (and) never walk alone if it
is avoidable. The main part of self-
defense ‘is not the physical aspect, but
being aware and taking all the necessary
precautions, one of which is calling an
escort whenever possible.’’

Sanchez said the proximity of the
LaSalle School on Western Avenue to
Alumni Quad may pose a threat to
women. ‘‘LaSalle is a correctional facili-
ty for delinquent boys,”’ said Sanchez,
“and it virtually borders on Alumni.

“We also have to deal with drunk
people from the downtown bars,’’ said
Sanchez. ‘‘Respectable people can
become intimidating and even threaten-
ing when they’re drunk.’’

“T never understood why Don’t Walk
Alone was only available uptown, to
begin with,” siad Alumni Quad resident
Debbie Smith. ‘‘If they provide a service
for SUNYA, it shuld be for all students,
not just those uptown,”’ she said.»

Maureen McCullough, also a resident
of Alumni Quad said she had wondered
why Don’t Walk Alone hadn’t operated
on Alumni. “It’s about time”’ she said.

McCullough, however, said she. pro-
bably wouldn’t use the escort service. “‘I
feel pretty safe walking down Ontario
Street. It’s just a short walk, and there
are people walking back and forth from
O’Heaney’s.”””

Black, Jewish relations stagnant
one year after Farrakhan’s visit

By Angelina Wang
STAFF WRITER

The relationship between black and Jewish
groups on campus has been of indifference since the
time of Minister Louis Farrakhan’s controversial
appearance on campus a little less than a year ago.

Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, the
smaller of two factions of the American Black
Muslim Movement was invited to speak by both the
Albany State University Black Alliance (ASUBA)
and the Pan Caribbean Association.

His appearance, however, caused an uproar with
the Jewish Students Coalition (JSC) - Hillel, the
Revisionist - Zionist Alternative (RZA) Tagar, and
over 400 SUNYA students.

Protests were held outside the Lecture Center
where Farrakhan spoke becausé of anti-semitic
statements attributed to him in the past.

Although Farrakhan’s appearance did not result
in violence, there were several shouting matches
between the protesters and the members of the au-
dience as they left.

Laurie B. Midgette, former ASUBA chair in-
strumental in bringing Farrakhan to SUNYA, said,
“Last year, JSC - Hillel wanted to discuss relations
between the two groups, but after Farrakhan died
down, the effort was not continued.’’

‘Some of the issues Farrakhan raised are still
sore spots among Jewish students. The relationship
has not changed in terms of that, I think,” she said:

According to Eliot Frome, current Treasurer of
JSC and JSC President when Farrakhan spoke at
SUNYA, there was not much dialogue between
Jews and blacks before Farrakhan, and there does
not exist much dialogue now.

“‘We go our separate ways,’’ said Frome. ‘‘To
me, (the situation) is unfortunate,”’ but, he added,
“we are not fighting in the streets.’”

Pan Caribbean Association President Jackie
Fraites said although there was a little tension at
the beginning, after the event the tension started

easing. ‘Among civilized people there is tension ....

but we work things out,’ said Fraites.

There comes a time when you have to go past
racial issues, and some point in time you do that,”
she added.

According to Robin Berloff, President of RZA-
Tagar, there is no animosity between groups. ‘“We
are against Farrakhan, but we were not against Far-
rakhan speaking on campus,”’ said Berloff.

Frome said he felt that both JSC-Hillel and
ASUBA suffered a lot during the past year. ““We
should spend energy supporting each other rather
than fighting each other,”” he said

Even though the tensions between black and
Jewish groups on campus have relaxed, their con-
cerning Farrakhan continue to remain in conflict.

“We invited Farrakhan to speak, but they
(Jewish groups) made unfair assumptions of what
he was going to say,” said Veronica Anderson, the
current President of ASUBA.

“] don’t feel that it was so much a racial issue

than (one of) equal rights and freedom of speech,”?
she said. ‘‘Anyone has a right to speak on what on
what he believes in,”
" Anderson used as an example the on-campus ap-
pearance of Rabbi Meir Kahane, who spoke two or
three months before Farrakhan. ‘‘He made com-
ments about blacks, but we respected their rights of
freedom of speech,” she said,

“Is Kahane anti-black? No. He is pro-Jewish,”
said Berloff. ‘‘I am not personally condoning him,
but my personal opinion was that he was not com-
ing out and lashing out on anyone,”’

Kahane is the founder of the Jewish Defense
League, and is in favor of Jews standing up for
Jews, according to Berloff.

“I understand ASUBA’s willingness to bring
Farrakhan,”’ said Berloff. “He stands for black
pride and blacks standing up and demanding equal
rights, but so do other people who are far less
abusive than Farrakhan,”

“People can believe what they want,” said
Berloff, but Farrakhan is an obvious evil.””

Frome said that he is not against bringing black
leaders to speak on campus, but that he is against
those who come to ‘“‘badmouth 50 percent of the
campus.’’

“I think there is more need for positive rather
than negative speakers,”’ he said. ‘Louis Far-
rakhan had every right to speak, but we had every
right to protest.”

“On JSC’s part, we are going on with our pro-
gram...we don’t look back and say what can we do
to get even,” said Frome.

“We felt it necessary.to hold a. protest, but..we.

now go on with what we are doing,”’ he added.

Fraites expressed no regrets for inviting Far-
rakhan. “‘I have no regrets whatsoever, especially
since he is a voice who speaks on behalf of black
Ppeople,”’ she said.

Midgette said that she would “most definitely”
consider bringing Farrakhan to speak on campus
again.

“Protest is healthy and shows people are aware
of what is around them, and involved in decision-
making,”’ she added. oO

Black speaker at
Univ. of Maryland
riles campus Jews

College Park
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — After the latest in a
series of ‘‘small explosions’? in relations between
black and Jewish students nationwide during the
last year, University of Maryland students are
trying to restore peace in the wake of a Kwame
Toure speech.

The speech by Toure — better known to older
students and faculty members as Student Non-
violent Coordinating Committee leader Stokely
Carmichael, who popularized the fist-shaking
“black power’? chant of the sixties — led to a
spate of death threats and racist intimidations on
the College Park campus.

“The only good Zionist is a dead Zionist,”
Toure said during a speech sponsored by the
university’s Black Student Union, leaving Jewish
students offended and frightened. by some’
students’ cheering response.

“We wand some kind of assurances: of our’
security,”’ said Jacob Blumenthal of Maryland’s
Jewish Student Union:

Jewish students asked the Black Student Union
(BSU) to apologize or state it did ‘not support
Toure’s stand on the destruction of Zionists. The
BSU, however, refused.

“That part of the speech frightened a lot of
people,’ said Blumenthal, who also cited
Toure’s brochures, which ‘accuse Jewish but-
chers of selling bad meat to blacks and Jewish
bankers of manipulating national economies,”
as scaring Jewish students.

“That’s old and scary anti-Semitic tactics,”
said Blumenthal, ‘“‘the kind the Nazis used.”’

In other incidents surrounding Toure’s visit,
someone carved a swastika in the front door of
the Jewish student paper, the BSU president
received death threats on his answering machine,
and both black and Jewish students reported be-
ing taunted while on campus.

“We're seeing a spreading of hatred on cam-
puses,’’ said Jeffrey Ross of the Anti-
Defamation Leagu’s (ADL’s national office.
“Individual campus situations are being inflam-
ed by outside speakers.’’

Ross said frequent campus speakers like Toure
and Muslim Minister Louis Farrakhan often en-
courage the inflammations.

But the tension comes not only from Toure’s
and Farrakhan’s provocative opinions of
Zionism and Jewish theology, but also from
threats of reprisal from the militant Jewish
Defense Organization (JDO).

Riot fears were never realized during a Far-
rakhan visit to Pitt-in November, but recently at
Penn Farakhan aide Jamil Muhammad told
students Jews were ‘“‘chosen for that damn
hellfire for telling those lies they’ve been
spreading.””

“The greatest problem isn’t the violence at
campuses during (such) speeches, but after,’’
said the ADL’s Ross, ‘tin dorm situations and in
classes, when people who otherwise would be
friends see each other as opposing sides.””

“The small explosions are the most serious
thing,” said Ross.

One such ‘‘small explosion” came at the end
of a fist recently, as BSU President Tim Shaw
decked a Jewish student for “‘running off at the
mouth”.

The two students have since mended their hard
feelings, Shaw said, and general tensions seem to
be abating.

Since then, Shaw, Blumenthal and other sty.
dent leaders have been meeting “quietly,” said

Survey: students would rather sleep than date

Chicago, Illinois

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — It
doesn’t have much to do with
their high-living image, but col-
lege students probably prefer
sleeping to dating, a new Levi
Strauss Company survey of col-
legiate attitudes has found.

Dating, in fact, was only
students’ sixth-favorite activity.

Attending parties topped the
survey of student preferences.

“Partying is definitely a verb

company spokeswoman.

Of the more than 6,500
students surveyed, 70 percent
listed partying as one of their five
favorite pastimes.

Sleeping was third, with 56 per-
cent, followed by going to the
movies and eating.

Only 42 percent of the
respondents said dating was a
favorite activity.

There were, of course, regional
differences in extracurricular

South, for example, felt dating
was more important than did
Midwestern and Western
students.

Only about a third of the
Westerners listed dating as a
favorite pastime.

Levi Strauss calls the study its
“501 Survey”’ because the com-
pany is researching why tradi-
tional jeans are gaining favor
again on campuses, Boyle said.

In fact, ‘“‘jeans are more

students,’’ Boyle said, adding
students who have jeans wear
them 75 percent of the time.

Company executives theorize
singer Bruce Springsteen may be
partially responsible for keeping
jeans so popular on campuses,
Boyle added.

The study, Boyle said, ‘gives
the company an overview of the
habits of consumers. Students are
a prime target (market) for our

Breakdowns

of University Cinemas

to propose the allocation of $7,000 for the
purchase of new projection systems.

However, UC officials claim that the
proposal should have been made long ago
and that the previous cuts in funding have
done serious damage to the organization.
Faulty equipment has plagued UC for
the past two year, but last Saturday night,
breakdowns during a showing of White
Nights have left UC with virtually no
working equipment.

UC Associate Director Lisa Feerick
credits the group’s problem to lack of fun-
‘ding form Student Association.
$1,000 was cut from UC’s appropriation
in January and because of this, said
Feerick, ‘‘we will be able to get half the
kind of movies we want. Now we won’t be
able to get movies like White Nights . If
they [SA] would give ;us back our ap-
#4 propriation, we might be able to get back
on our feet.””

SA also recently cut 66 percentof
| University Cinemas films, limiting them to

SA Controller Eric Schwartzman said
that the cut was made because of low at-
|tendance and faulty equipment.
Schwartzman said that low attendance
was primarily due to the fact that ““Projec-
tors have been breaking down frequently
and that people just aren’t going to movies
this year. The ticket revenue wasn’t com-
jing in as much.””

SA made sure the movies kept were ‘‘the
better movies that would draw people,’’ he
added.

SA proposes $7,000 increase for Univ. Cinemas
Recent equipment failures linked to prior lack of SA funding, support

breakdowns, Schwartzman said that this
year’s budget committe has proposed to
set aside $7,000 specifically to buy new
projectors for University Cinemas.

According to Schwartzman, this money
is being taken from the budget for SA
funded groups. ‘‘The groups are going to
lose,’’ he said, adding that the projectors
are really necessary.

The proposal must now go through the
Legislative Budget Committee and then to
Central Council.

However, UC treasurer Rich Kunen said
that right now, UC is ‘‘just hoping to get
by this semester.’’

“We shouldn’t have to worry about that
[faulty equipment]. We have other things
to worry about. No one’s giving us sup-
port. We were not given assurance that we
were going to be around next semester.

Kunen said that SA cut UC’s appropria-
tion fee by about 40 percent. “‘I unders-
tand we have to have our fair share of
cuts,” he said, “‘but not 40 percent. We’re
losing a lot more proportionally [than
other groups].”’

“SA should buy the equipment for us.
They [the projectors] should have been
bought a long time ago,’’ said Kunen.

ing to have to start demanding things.
They should call their Central Council
Tepresentative and tell them how they
feel,’’ she said.

Feerick said that over seventy audience
members signed a petition to Central
Council saying that they would go to more
movies if the equipment were better.

2 “Those people may have saved Univer-
sity Cinemas,” because of their patience
and support, said Feerick.

Schwartzman said that SA is also re-
establishing the emergency spending line
next yhear. This spending line will set aside
$10,000 from the budget in case of pro-
blems. “It gives them [the groups] a little
leeway,” he said. Oo

Five candidates for SA positions | One test where only
start campaigning as vote nears

By David Spalding
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

With self-nomination forms for
Student Association’s upcoming
elections due Wednesday, five
candidates have already begun to
heavily campaign for their
offices. ae

Candidates who have submit-
ted self-nominations are Paco
Duarte and Mark Rivers for presi-
dent and Tihan Presbie, Doug
Tuttle and Irwin Weinstein for
vice-president, said SA President
Steve Gawley. ‘‘I don’t expect
any further nominations,” he
added.

“] don’t expect any serious
candidates to submit nomina-
tions,’”’ said Gawley, adding, “I
would call it irresponsible to run
this late.”’ Elections will be held
April 14 and 15.

Although Elections Commis-
sioner Guy Sansone hasn’t receiv-
ed ‘‘one complaint from the five
candidates,’’ the campaign has
not been without controversy.

Rivers has scheduled a thirty-
second commercial to appear
Thursday night during NBC’s
David Letterman Show.

Questions have been raised as
to whether the $60 commercial
violated the Election Regulation
Act passed last’fall. In particular,
it has been questioned as to
whether television- commercials
are allowed in SA elections and if
so, if there is a limit on the
amount allowed to be spent.

When asked if the commercial

: violated election regulations, San-

sone replied, -*“Wereally- don’t
know. There is nothing in there
{the policy] that says you can’t.
There is nothing about advertis-
ing on television and radio in the
policy.””

Central Council Chair Bill Mc-
Cann claims that there is no limit
as to how much can be spent on
advertising. ‘The only cap on
advertising is in the SA Voice or
the ASP.

“When we wrote this policy it
was incomprehensible. We never
thought anyone would do televi-
sion commercial,’”’ said Mc-
Cann.‘ If people have a problem
with this then Central Council can
always amend the policy next
year.”

Another’ problem: involved
posters circulated before spring
break depicting Paco Duarte as
“*honarary captain”’ of the soccer
team. According to Sansone, this
represented “‘unfair advertising.”’

However, he said Duarte was
not responsible for the discrepen-
cy. ‘Paco had nothing to do with
it,” said Sansone. Sansone added
that some members of the soccer
team had put up the posters,
which were eventually removed.

Presidential candidates Duarte
and Rivers both said they have
dedicated campaign staffs busily
campaigning and putting up
posters in an attempt to reach the
voters.

When asked why he wants to
run for SA president, Rivers,
chair of the Intercollegiate
Athletics Committee (ICAC),
said, “‘I’m running because I
think that I can do the job in a
way it’s never been done before.’”

According to Rivers, SA has
neglected some vital aspects of the
students it represents. ‘‘I want to
open SA to everyone. I want to
make SA a student association
again and i emphasize the word
student,”’ he said.

Duarte, current SA Minority
Affairs Coordinator, said, ‘This
year, while working for the Ex-
ecutive Branch [of SA], I had the
opportunity to do a lot of things
for students and I enjoy it.””

“In general, SA is not well
known,” said Duarte. ‘“‘Many
people don’t want to be part of
it.’”? Duarte said he originally had
not planned to run for president
until he looked at SA’s future.
“To me, it looked very dead. I
care for SA too much,” he
added.

“The whole theme of my cam-
paign is spirit, energy, and en-
thusiasm,”’ sdaid Rivers, adding
that the “‘new spirit’’ he wants to
encourage is not just school spirit
but the ‘‘concept of people being
excited to be involved [in SA].””

Rivers said SA has not served
the function ofhelping ‘‘all the
students in every way possible.”’
He added that if he were elected,
“whether you are a minority or
athlete, SA is there for you.””

Duarte said he sees the main
issue of the campaign as “‘Where
does SA stand?”’ Duarte said SA

should promote school spirit and
protect student rights, ‘‘not losing
dorm ratehikes and alcohol
policy.’’ He added that SA is too
*‘*inapproachable and
inaccessible.””

“I know the student communi-
ty better than any candidate,”
said Duarte. He said having lived
both on and off-campus, he can
relate to the needs of both
groups, and having played soccer
he understand what it is like to be
an athlete.

In addition, Duarte said he is
“caring and sensitive’ to the
needs of minority students,
women, traditional students and
“the average student.”’

“Vote for me because my
background covers every
background’’ for students, said
Rivers.

“If I’m elected you will see a
new spirit,”’ said Rivers. “I want
to make [student life] better.”’

Presbie, the varsity soccer
squad captain, is making his se-
cond attempt at the Vice-

Presidency and running to “‘im-

Gay rights tactics outlined

By Laura Liebesman
STAFF WRITER

An audience of fifteen gay and straight people
showed up on Monday night to hear Leon Rouse,
the keynote speaker for Gay and Lesbian Pride
Week, discuss the passing of the state-wide gay
rights bill in Wisconsin.

Rouse, a lobbyist consultant for the National
Organization for Women (NOW) in New York
State, said that the lobbying tactics used to have the
law passed in Wisconsin could be used to pass a
similar bill in New York.

Wisconsin is the only state with a gay rights bill,
he said.

Rouse said that one of the problems in getting a
law passed in New York State is the definition in-
cluded in the bill. ‘The definition included transex-
uals and transvestites. The definition was rewritten
as sexual orientation meaning having a preference
and being identified with it,” said Rouse.

Rouse said he relied heavily on the power of the
Roman Catholic Archbishop at Wisonsin in getting
a gay rights law passed. ‘‘The governor of Wiscon-
sin would love to have as much power as the Ar-
chbishop,”’ said Rouse.

Eighty percent of Wisconsin is Roman Catholic,
according to Rouse.

Rouse said he estimated “‘there is about an 80
percent similarity between Wisconsin and New
York in the political tactics that will be used. The 20
percent difference we will have to recalibrate,’’ he
said.

Rouse said that ‘‘Anita Bryant has helped us a lot
by forcing our supporters out of the closet. I have

to do something about her and people like her. I
can’t find her threatening.”

Joe Leonard, co-chair of the Gay and Lesbian
Alliance (GALA), said there are two avenues of
pride that should be reflected during Gay and Les-
bian Pride Week.

“First we should be out and show people we’re
gay and breakdown stereotypes. We have to teach
straights that the stereotypes are wrong. Second, we
have to fight for our rights by law not to be
discriminated against,” Leonard said.

According to Leonard, the change in the name of
Gay and Lesbian Awareness Week to Gay and Les-
bian Pride Week ‘‘reflects a change in attitude form
awareness to pride. We’re proud of who we are,’’
he said.

Linnae Sperling, who attended the presentation
as a project for her Introduction to Feminism class
said, ‘‘I think pride week is good for the group, but
I don’t think it’s doing anything for awareness.”’

First year student Rhonda Rosen said she attend-
ed the presentation although she is not gay because
she wanted to see ‘‘how politics are run.’’

Leonard said he was not disappointed with the
low turnout ‘‘because certain topics interest certain
people. Not everyone is interested in politics.”

Senior Inga Sarda said ‘‘The political process is
crucial in gaining not only legal rights and anti-
discrimination laws based on sexual preference, but
also in establishing a sense of acceptance on a
broader basis that lesbians and gays are also
humans deserving the same civil rights as everyone
else.’”

Cheaters beware

“Cheating is rampant in this universi-
ty,”’ said Andrew Campell, Central Coun-
cil’s Vice Chair of Special Projects Com-
mittee, explaining why council is conduc-
ting a student cheating survey.

Campell predicts the survey, distributed
on the quads and in the Campus Center,
will show that 50 percent of the student
body has cheated this year.

“Cheating is really bringing down the
reputation of this university,” said
Campell, who added that he hopes the
survey will lead to a ‘uniform policy on
cheating.””

The results of the survey should be ready
in two weeks, said Campell.

Meet the candidates

A “candidate’s forum” for the upcom-
ing Student Association Presidential and
Vice Presidential elections is scheduled for
Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. in LC 2, ac-
cording to SA President Steve Gawley.

“It’s a great opportunity if you are con-
cerned” about the candidates and the
issues, said Gawley, adding that the elec-
tion of SA officers provides students with
a chance to have an “impact on next
year.””

Each candidate will give a two-minute
statement, after which the floor will be
opened to any students with general ques-
tions, said Gawley, who will mediate the
forum.

At 8:30 the forum will turn its focus
over to ‘‘Greek issues,’’ said Gawley.

Florida officials to crack down on
spring break partying by students

Fort Lauderdale, Florida
(AP) Spring Break 1986 is over,
but officials already are planning
changes to make next year’s col-
lege student invasion of the
beaches quieter and safer.

Crowds along Fort Lauder-
dale’s ‘‘Strip’’ were smaller and
less rowdy than in recent years,
due in part to stepped up enforce-
ment measures, although seven
students died in accidents around
the state, city officials said.

About 300,000 students visited
Fort Lauderdale this year.

But several Fort Lauderdale
leaders indicated they would like
to see the Spring Break crowds
reduced even more.

“Spring Break doesn’t fit in
with our long-term objectives,”’
city commissioner Richard Mills
said. ‘“What we’d like to ge is less
college students and more af-
fluent tourists. I thing this year
was a step in the right direction.’’

This year, open containers of
alcohol were banned on and near
the beach, the city built a wall bet-

ween pedestrians and motorists
along the Strip and stringently en-
forced capacity limits in bars and
fire codes in hotels.

More than 2,200 people were
arrested, half for disorderly con-
duct and violaton of the new ban
on open containers.

Despite more arrest, police say
alcohol was a major factor in the
seven Spring Break deaths around
the state. Four students died in
hotel balcony falls, one died in a
fall from a drawbridge under con-
struction, another was killed in a

motorcyccle accident and a
seventh drowned.
Three other vacationing

students suffered serious injuries
in balcony falls.

Police say they can do little to
prevent the accidents, aside from
encouraging students to use com-
mon sense.

“We've got officers scanning
the balconies with binoculars,”
said Daytona Beach Sgt. Stephen
Szabo. “‘But we can’t baby-sit
everbody.””

prove the relationship between
students, administrators and
faculty,’ he said. Presbie added
that he wants improved student
life on campus.

Doug Tuttle, the current SA
media director said he is running
for SA vice president because ‘‘I
think that SA has an obligation to
do as much as it can for the cam-
pus and after being involved in
SA and seeing what we can do, I
thought running for vice presi-
dent would be an excellent oppor-
tunity,’’ he said.

Irwin Weinstein, the third vice
presidential candidate and Cen-
tral Council co-chair of the Stu-
dent Community Committee, said
“SA has seemed to have lost sight
of its responsibilities to the
students. I want to. restore the
responsibilities to the students.”

After three years in student
government, Weinstein said he
has seen ‘‘the ups and downs in
SA.”’ According to Weinstein,
the key to improving SA is in-
creased communication with
students, the administration, and
the community. ‘‘I’m not in this
to make promises of fighting
issues, but to open SA,’’ he said.

“Yd like SA to serve the
students better,” said Tuttle. “I
want SA to continue to be a
strong fighter for the rights of

students on campus. Tuttle said
he’d like to continue SA’s work
on improved lighting and
challenging Albany’s grouper
law.

According to Tuttle his cam-
paign strategy is to be well
organized and to work hard. He
said of his campaign staff,
“We're all having a great time
and that is the main point of it.”

If elected, Presbie said he wants
to put ‘‘SA more in touch with
the students.’”? Presbie said he
wants to program more projects
and avoid unprofitable projects.

“T’m the most qualified, most
experienced on the issues and pro-
gramming,”’ said Presbie. He ad-
ded that his candidacy last year
has made him the most well-
known candidate. Presbie said
that this year he has more people
and support for his campaign.

Weinstein said his three years

State Sen. Edgar Dunn of Or-
mond Beach plans to introduce a
bill that would broaden police
and hoteliers’ authority. It would
allow hotel workers to detain
students climbing on balconies in
the same way business owners are
allowed to detain suspected
shoplifters.

The” bill also would enable
police to make arrest based on
reasonable suspicion without
warant. Under current law, balx-
ony climbing is classified as a
misdemeanor, meaning police
must see the offense or get a war-
rant before making an arrest.

However, city officials said
they believe they have managed to
gain a measure of control over the
Spring Break invasion.

“Last year was totally ex-
cessive,’ Mayor Robert Dressler
said. “It had a detrimental effect
not only on our residents but on
our reputation nationwide. This
year we brought Spring a
under control.”

‘STROUD ASP

involved in “‘diverse’’ aspects of
educational, social, and cultural
issues makes him the most
qualified candidate for vice-
president. ‘‘I have a wide range of
knowledge of students and
students’ needs,’’ he said.

“We have to have the
students,”’ said Weinstein, adding
that there is little student input.
“T’ve done what I’ve said I’ve
done,’’ he said to emphasize his
“‘proven experience and
commitment.”

According to Weinstein, he is
tunning a ‘‘grass roots’? campa-
ing. ‘‘My idea is to shake hands
with everyone,” he said.

Students will have the chance
to question the candidates on
Thursday night at an SA spon-
sored ‘‘Candidates Forum.” The
forum is scheduled to be held at
7:00 p.m. in LC 2 and all students
are welcome. Bay

La Cage triumphs at Proctor’s

side Proctor’s Theatre suggested

that the travelling version of La
Cage Aux Folles might be something to
behold. It was.

Ian Spelling

Upon entering the theatre lobby one
could see an extra dressing room stationed
by the stage door, an obvious remedy for a
lack of space, and a batch of carefully
lined-up props which would eventually
find their way on stage.

The scope was no less vast inside, as
elaborate set after elaborate set reached the
stage. La Cage is a massive undertaking,
one which was pulled off in triumphant
style last week in Schenectady.

Billed as a “musical comedy,” La Cage
truly was far more. The story concerns a
married homosexual couple whose world
is turned topsy-turvy by the return of their
son,

If this sounds strange, it is, but all is ex-
plained. Peter Marshall plays Georges, the
husband of the couple, who, in a moment
of indecision, made love to a woman. The
result of that encounter, a boy named Jean-
Michel, has returned to tell of his love for 1
young lady whose father is an ultra-
moralist.

The conflict lies in the fact that George
tuns La Cage, a nightclub featuring
transvestites, and Jean-Michel’s potential
father-in-law intends to shut down such
clubs. Confounding matters is Albin
(Keene Curtis), the feminine half of the
couple, who literally raised the now
24-year-old Jean-Michel. And now the
young man must abandon his ‘mother’ to
impress his fiance’s parents and gain their
blessing. In addition to the homosexual
angle, librettist Harvey Fierstein examines

iP he seven 18-wheelers parked out-

the actions of the transvestites in the
French nightclub in order to conjure up
further confusion and plot twists.

The elaborate La Cage club scenes
feature spectacular musical numbers with
men in drag strutting their best stuff. These
are just icing on the proverbial cake, as the
behind-the-scenes drama provides both
laughs and a great deal of pathos.

Curtis, who played Daddy Warbucks in
Broadway's Annie, simply commands the
stage with his stirring portrayal of Albin.
Though he never questions his sexuality,
he does wonder what his connection to
others should be. In the song, “I Am What I
Am,” Albin makes it clear that he is com-
fortable with his inner self. But this song

also serves as a heartbreaking rendering of
the troubles of acceptance.

Near the end, Jean-Michel and Georges
tell Albin he may meet the future in-laws if
he can assume the role of a man. The
number “Masculinity” poignantly and
hysterically attempts to show Albin walk
and talk like a man, a real man, a John
Wayne sort, First Albin must lose the limp
hand, then the lilt in his voice, and finally
the remainder of the Truman Capote aura
surrounding him. This number, in Curtis’
able hands, is simply wonderful, as is the
rest of his performance.

Marshall, best known as the host of
Hollywood Squares, is also terrific. He plays
the ‘plain’ homosexual with a great deal of
humor and whimsy. But, as a most pleasant
surprise, Marshall excells in the dramatic
moments and also displays a solid vocal
range, :

Only Peter Reardon, in the pivotal role
of Jean-Michel, misses the acting boat. His
voice lacks emotion, his appeal is nil. Rear-
don simply isn’t believable, a real shame.

In all, though, La Cage Aux Folles is a
well-rounded, simultaneously heartwarm-
ing and enjoyable experience. A real ve
ner.

Stones come clean on Dirty Work

t's lewd. ... It’s lascivious. . . It's stained
I by imperfection. .. It’s Dirty Work,

the aptly-titled new album from the
Rolling Stones, . . And it's a hell of a lot of
fun. ; ;

Corey Levitan

The bad boys of rock are back, on a new
record label, playing up their raunchy im-
age to the max. As usual, their music is
dissonant. Everywhere, guitar chords and
vocals randomly wander off beat and out
of key. And, as usual, their lyrics reflect
the adolescent theme of mindless rebellion.
Check out these sizzling song titles: “One
Hit (to the Body),” “Fight,” “Too Rude,”
“Winning Ugly,” “Had It With You,” etc.
The effect of all this vociferousness is ex-
hilerating, but there is very little innova-
tion on this album. In fact, for Mick Jagger
it represents a step backward.

Through his solo excursion last year,
Mick began to reveal sides of himself scant-
ly seen in public. His album, She’s the Boss,
explored contemporary musical themes
and radiated sensitivity, humor and
vulnerability. On Dirty Work, Mick is
back in the domineering, sleazy rock ‘n roll
roles for which he’s been most revered —
and despised. The album is violent, im-
mature and sexist; the quintessential Roll-
ing Stones record. There's not one “Can't
you see I'm human?” in sight. Although the
album entertains, it never challenges the
listener. Witness its lyrical diversity from
“Back to Zero” and “Fight,” respectively:
“So you wanna blow us all to
pieces. .. /“Gonna blow you to a million
pieces. Blow you sky high, I don't care.” I
should be fair, though. Topical issues are
occasionally addressed. In fact, “Back to
Zero" is an anti-nuclear war statement. In

the song, Jagger confides, “I prefer to rot, I
don’t wanna pop.” Wow, that’s deep stuff.
Musically, the Stones are doing what
they always have done. They sound a bit
better this time, however, due to produc-
tion changes. Usually, Jagger and Keith
Richards single-handedly produce their
own music. For Dirty Work, they called in
» producer Steve Lillywhite, who is most
noted for his work with U2. Lillywhite’s
trademark amplification of percussion in
the mix makes these songs sound highly
energetic. Additionally, the backing in-
strumentalization is richly layered. Most of
Dirty Work’s numbers feature acoustic
guitar, keyboard and horn sections.
Featured in these sections are such notables
as Bobby Womack, Tom Waits, and Jim-
my Page. Thus, the songs sound more com-
plete than Stones material from recent
albums.

Production merits aside, however, we're

still talking about the Rolling Stones. The

basic music is raw, sloppy rock ‘n roll.

The album comes out swinging with
“One Hit (to the Body),” a vibrant tune
destined for commercial success as a single.
This is followed by “Fight,” a ruthless and
witless chant: “Gonna pulp you to a mess
of bruises, ‘cause that’s what you're looking
for.” “Harlem Shuffle,” the album’s promo-
tional single, subdues the fury with a plea-
sant melody courtesy of Bob and Earl, The
song was a hit in England for that duo in
1969.

Other notably upbeat songs include the
album’s title track and a joyous twelve-bar
blues stomper entitled “Had It With You.”
“Had It With You is in the same hyperac-
tive genre as “Respectable” and “Summer
Romance,” Stones songs from eight and six
years ago. It even utilizes the mouth harp, a
prevalent instrument in Stones material of
that period. Unfortunately, this rocker
may never see the light of radio exposure
due to its first line, “I love you dirty

fucker.” Energy, however, doesn’t com-
pensate for the lack of song in “Hold
Back,” a powerfully performed track that
contains no melody to speak of. The song
comes off as a shouting session with
musical accompaniment.

A little of She’s The Boss carries over to
the new album in two songs. “Back to
Zero” is a funk song on which guitarist Ron
Wood plays a potent bass. The flavor of
the song recalls “Lucky at Love.” The
gambling theme pervading She’s The Boss
resurfaces on another of of Dirty Work’s
more contemporary tunes entitled “Winn-
ing Ugly.”

The remaining two songs feature Keith
Richards on lead vocals. Richards, who
writes the music to most of the Stones’
songs, usually allots himself one rock vocal
per record. This time, however, he’s
chosen a ballad and a reggae number. The
ballad, “Sleep Tonight,” is quite good,
although on slow numbers Keith tends to
sound like a Bob Dylan impersonator. Con-
founding this lack of vocal identity is “Too
Rude,” a reggae-funk ditty which Richards
croons like UB40's Ali Campbell.

The album closes with some blues piano
playing, as a tribute to longtime friend Ian
Stewart. Stewart, the Stones’ road
manager, regularly played piano for the
group since their inception in 196]. He was
actually a full-fledged member until their
former manager decided that his image
was too conservative. Stewart died of a
heart attack in December at the age of 47,

Overall, Dirty Work is a great piece of
trash. If you like the music this outfit has
been churning out for years, the album is
certain to please. If you were hoping for
something substantially new, forget it. You -
know what they say about teaching old
dogs new tricks. Oo

Aspects on Tuesday 13

The man behind The Wild Things

aurice Sendak claims he was “an or-
M dinary kid,” not particularly gutsy
or bold, and not particularly suc-
cessful academically, either. Yet, as
Wednesday's fully packed Page Hall au-
dience could attest to, Sendak couldn’t be
farther from ordinary now; on the contrary
he is most extraordinary. His vivid, untam-
ed imagination, and his uncanny ability to
capture a child’s perspective of the world
have led Sendak to become the nation’s
premiere author and _ illustrator of
children’s literature.

Evelyn Snitofsky

The theme of his highly acclaimed and
most renowned trilogy, comprised of
Where The Wild Things Are, In The Night
Kitchen, and Outside Over There, is “what
happens at a single moment in a child's life,
when a parent turns his/her back,” said Sen-
dak. “I truly admire,” he continued, “the
way children traverse difficult situations
when left alone to deal with them, situa-
tions which they, for some reason, think
are think are too dark and serious to share
with their parents. I love them for the
seriousness with which they do
everything.”

Of his own childhood, it is not surprising
that Sendak remembers his father as “a
great storyteller,” whose nightly stories
made for memorable experiences. “T just
can’t imagine going to bed without a story,”
Sendak confessed. “By now it's an old
habit.” Sendak recently had his father’s
memoirs and stories published after 14
years of translating (from Yiddish), organiz-
ing, and illustrating them.

Comically enough, as a young boy Sen-
dak found it most humiliating going to the
children’s section of the library. “For me,”
said Sendak, “going to the library meant
finding the largest, thickest book in
there, and having my older sister take it
out for me. Then I would spend the entire
weekend just turning every single page.”

Sendak’s record best-seller, Where The
Wild Things Are, won both the Caldecott

Medal and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award
in 1964. When asked by a young fan (lut-
ching her personal copy of the book) if he
actually knew the “wild things,” Sendak
said matter-of-factly that they were some
of his Jewish relatives, the ones he disliked
intensely. “To begin’ with, they ate all our
food. And they kissed me, which was a
horrifying experience — not being able to
choose who I'd let kiss me. As their faces
would come closer, I would see moles, hair
coming out of their noses, and terrible
teeth. And then they would say, ‘We can
just eat you up, we love you so much!’ ”
Despite all the positive recognition Sen-
dak has received, including the Hans Chris-

Caroline doesn’t say
very much at all

‘hat Shall We Tell Caroline?, a play

written by John Mortimer and

directed by Callahan Boone, was
presented by the Theatre Department
Graduate Directing Project last Thursday
through Saturday in the Arena Theatre.

Mike Dermansky

The drama revolves around the plight of
Caroline, played by Donna Friedman,
whose 18th birthday is being celebrated. In
the first act, Caroline does not speak. Ms.
Friedman brilliantly displays Caroline as a
playful dixon who covers food she doesn’t
like, runs about with funny glasses, and
sighs desperately at her depressing en-
vironment as any teenager might.

Quickly, the mystery as to why Caroline
does not speak is in the forefront. Is she
retarded, or is this her way of adapting to
her environment?

Her home is on the grounds of a boys’
school run by her father, Arthur Loudon
(Gregory Ritucci-Chinni), a loud-mouthed,
jealous man. Her mother, played by Tricia
Mazzocca, detests being called ‘Bin’ by her
husband, who treats her as a companion
rather than a woman. A visiting teacher,
Tony Peters (Thomas Baldwin Barry) cat-
ches her attention. He presents himself as a
worldly romantic type, and has stayed
with the Loudons for 20 years.

It is not clear why Peters remains stag-
nant in the living room, flirting with the
headmaster’s wife, whom he does not love.

Mr. Loudon surprisingly confesses that Mr.
Peters is useful in keeping Mrs. Loudon
amused, while he himself prefers to treat
her as nothing more than a delicate, sexy
creature, which is also what she desires.
The threesome form a pathetic triangle
with unbelievable communication
problems.

In the second act, not only does Caroline
speak, but she speaks sharply, firmly
declaring that she has aquired a job in a
bank and is leaving home. Mrs. Loudon
desperately asks her husband why he
didn’t stop Caroline, and he dumbly
replies, “She talked to me. . . But she talk-
ed to me.”

It is a funny moment in the play. Amidst
the turmoil of the three  self-indulged
adults, a young girl has silently grown up,
hiding all of her inner strength, and when
she reaches the age of 18, she decides to
leave. It is a bold proposition to suggest
that a girl can spend 18 years without
speaking; a farcical proposition. The title is
a paradox in that nobody tells Caroline
anything. They merely speak to her as a
sounding board.

Unfortunately, this production attempts
to present the drama as a realistic situation.
The lead actors are bogged down by
lengthy speeches and forced English ac-
cents. They are subdued and distant when
they should be arrogant, annoying, and, in
turn, entertaining. What Shall We Tell
Caroline? is a most difficult script, and the
overall performance suffers, though it was
an ambitious effort. oO

tian Anderson Award in 1970, his work
has not been beyond criticism and threats
of censorship. Sendak said he has had to
deal with “the guardians of the gates of
Children’s Land” who insisted his “wild
things” were too frightening to young
children. With the publication of In The
Night Kitchen, concerned adults created an
uproar for a different reason. The hero
Mickey, appears nude and anatomically
correct, and is having somewhat of a sen-
suous experience, jumping into milk and
bread dough. “I didn’t know I was breaking
the nudity barrier with Mickey, ” said Sen-
dak. “It was really very humiliating to have
five years of work reduced to Mickey's

as if that said anything.

genitalia.”

After publishing and/or illustrating near-
ly 80 books, Sendak has, for the past five
to seven years, more or less abandoned
publishing to do sets and costume designs
for operas, a change which he calls part of
his “50’s fit.” He was first called upon to
create sets for Mozart’s The Magic Flute,
for the Houston Opera in 1980. He is now
working on four different operas concur-
rently, | based onWhere TheWild Things
Are, each recently brought over from Lon-
don. “I became involved with the produc-
tion to protect my ‘baby,’ but it has
become somewhat like the nightmare of
‘the Sorceror’s apprentice.’ The monsters
are at least nine feet tall.”

Sendak’s involvement with opera is an
effort to realize his ultimate goal — to at-
tach himself somehow to music, which he
says is his first love. He told the audience
he didn’t go into the field of music because
he had absolutely no inclination for it, “but
Hove to set anything, especially my books,
to music,” he said.

Sendak’s only formal artistic training
consisted of a few classes he took at the Art
Student League in New York to appease
his parents. He eventually became an ap-
prentice to q publisher. “She groomed me,”
he said, “like a plant in a hot house.” In Pro-
fessor Randall Craig's introduction, he
quoted Sendak as saying “(his) drawings
are the only school that ever taught (Sen-
dak) anything.”

Apparently, an education is of little help
in understanding Sendak’s work. He finds
psychoanalytical interpretations of his
books hilarious. Often college professors
and students dissect his stories in a furious
search for some hidden meaning. Said Sen-
dak, “children are able to see through all
metaphors and symbols and get right to the
heart of the story.”

Sendak said he is “really lucky that he
grew up to do the only thing he ever really
wanted to do “— to be an artist. “After
all,” he told the audience earlier in the
evening, “an artist is the best thing you can
be.”

His life made more precious

and somehow forgot:

Standing tall

In her sneakers, Rainny Lesane stands about
5-foot-2. But to her teammates on the women’s
basketball team and to others who knows her, the
senior co-captain stands much taller.

Lesane was named last week to the Kodak NCAA
All-American Division III Team, a distinction that
places her among the nation’s ten best players this
year, and undoubtedly assures her of being one of
the finest athletes ever to wear a Great Dane
uniform.

In her four years on the team, Lesane emerged as
a leader, both on and off the court. This year she
led the team all the way to the quarterfinals of the
NCAA Division III tournament, farther than any
Albany basketball team has gone, men’s or
women’s.

Even though her playing days are over, Lesane
will still help the team next year as an assistant
coach. After that, Lesane isn’t sure; a coaching
position on the high school level is a possibility.
Whatever she ends up doing, we wish her well.

Guarded steps

The Don’t. Walk Alone Escort Service has
escorted hundreds of students around the uptown
campus this year. But for all the students who have
enjoyed the safety of an escort service, many others
have walked alone on the downtown campus, where
the threat of harrassment seems even greater.

This will soon be rectified, but only on a
temporary basis.

The Don’t Walk Alone escort service is
conducting a trial program on Alumni Quad from
now until the end of April. Whether or not the
escorts will become permanent fixtures depends
largely on the number of people that choose to use
the service.

Escorts will only walk back and forth from the
dorms to the bus stops on the Washington Avenue
corners of Partridge and Ontario streets. The
escorts will be available from 9 p.m. - 11 p.m. on
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. No dorm-to-
dorm service will be provided.

Although some students still might feel silly
asking someone to escort them home, they should
realize it is no longer an unusual request on this
campus. In the past two years, Don’t Walk Alone
has escorted more than 3000 students, to various
places around the uptown campus. All the
downtown dorm residents have to do to get the
same service is to use it, beginning this month
during its trial run.

In self-defense courses offered at SUNYA,
instructors urge students to use the escort service.
Taking precautions, they say is for more important
than physical self-defense.

Downtown dorm residents are being offered a
simple, practical means of self-defense and safety.
They should take advantage of it.

End of an era

Clark Kent probably turned over in his grave
yesterday.

The bulky black Associated Press wire machine
whose constant clickety-clack has characterized
newsrooms throughout most of this century was
removed from our office. In its place was left a
dainty tan printer placed atop a small stand. Instead
of the clickety-clack of our old machine, our
newsroom now hums with a zzap-zzap-zzap.

What our new machine has gained in speed and
efficiency, our newsroom has lost in authenticity
and tradition. A newpaper office has always
conjured up images of a crusty old editor hunched
over an AP machine reading the lastest news; the
clickety clack of the machine drowning out most of
the sounds of a busy newsroom.

Actually, our machine was probably one of the
last to go. It’s hard to explain, but somehow it feels
like the end of an era. Maybe Lois Lane would
understand.

Libel awards and journalism

In 1789 freedom of speech and the press were
guaranteed in America by the First Amendment to the
Consitution. The concept of a free press is one that has
been strongly debated and addressed throughout history.
It is also a concept that, in recent years, has been en-
dangered by the rise of libel suits threatening U.S.
journalists.

Loren Ginsberg

In ‘‘Areopagitica,’’ published in 1644, John Milton
asks, ‘‘Who ever knew Truth put to the worse in a free
and open encounter?”’ Two British journalists writing in
the 1700’s under the pseudonym Cato rationalized the
First Amendment as a protection of the public from in-
justices by the government, stating that “‘... it is in the in-
terest, and ought to be the ambition-of all honest
magistrates, to have their deeds openly examined, and
publicly scanned: only the wicked governors of men
dread what is said of them.” In 1859 John Stuart Mill’s
On Liberty was published, stressing the belief that society
is constantly changing and developing, and it is the free
expression of a broad range of opinions that makes
societal growth possible. According to Mill, Truth, even
if repeatedly dismissed, will eventually re-emerge at a
time in history when it will be recognized as such.

In: recent years, a growing concern has emerged in
society as an increasing number of libel awards challenges
the freedom of the press. While the press should be entitl-
ed to free, unrestricted expression, libel laws are intended
to prevent the abuse of this freedom by the publishing of
unjustly defamatory material. Unfortunately, the fre-
quency of libel suits and the tendency of courts to grant
large financial awards to plaintiffs are threats that hinder
the fundamental freedom of the press.

Libel laws vary according to specific circumstances of
each case and the social positions of individuals involved.
To win a libel suit, for example, a public official must
prove that the statement in question was released with
“actual malice’ -- that it was published with either
knowledge of falsehood or reckless disregard for the
truth. This decision was reached in the 1964 suit of The
New York Times vs. Sullivan. Eugene Roberts, executive
editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer, states, ‘‘The good in-
tentions of the Supreme Court in the Times vs. Sullivan
case have been distorted by later court developments to
the point that the very decision which was designed to
protect the press and the public’s right to robust criticism
of public officials on public issues has become a weapon
aimed at the heart of criticism.’’ (Nieman Reports, Sum-
mer 1985)

One of the problems facing the courts in libel decisions
today is the vague and interpretive language of previous
libel decisions. For example, libel law; state that a public
figure, one who has placed him or herself in the public eye
in some capacity, must prove ‘‘gross negligence’? of the
press in a libel suit. In some states, a private individual
must prove simple “negligence.” It is obviously pro-
blematic for a court to determine what constitutes
negligence on the part of a reporter and then to specify
the degree of negligence involved.

Anthony Lewis, a New York Times columnist, points
out that the threat of libel suits has a “‘chilling effect” on
the press. ‘‘I think there is reason for concern about the
trend of libel cases these days: the outlandish damages
claimed and often awarded by juries, the burdensome
cost of defending against the most worthless claim,”’ says
Lewis. (Nieman Reports, Spring 1984) He refers to a case
in which a small Illinois paper, The Alton Telegraph, was
sued for libel and is now reluctant to ‘‘stick its neck out”
in its reportage. This is the most serious effect of libel
cases on journalism in the United States today; smaller
publications may face the possibility of bankruptcy
through legal fees alone, regardless of the outcome of the
trial. With this danger, the minority voice may be
silenced,

“Tf all mankind minus one were of one opinion, Mill
hypothesizes in On Liberty, mankind would be no more
juistified in silencing that one person than he, if he had
the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.’’ This
precept is one which is theoretically guarded by the First
Amendment for the good of society. Mill calls the silenc-
ing of an opinion ‘‘robbing the human race.”’ If the opi-
nion is right, he says, those who dissent from it will not
have the opportunity of considering it as truth; if the opi-
nion is wrong, they will have lost a clearer perception of
truth through its comparison with error.

Time magazine’s cover story on December 12, 1983,
“Journalism Under Fire,’’ quotes cases of libelous repor-
tage damaging the reputations of public as well as private
citizens. While the article asserts that the Press is
obligated to serve the public, it accuses journalists of us-
ing their freedom irresponsibly. Evidence of the Public’s
distrust of the press seems to be reflected in the growing
tend of libel suits favoring plaintiffs. As long as this trend
continues, journalists will be more cautious and in-
hibited, and they will be less thorogh in their task of serv-
ing the public,

Win tenant rights

To The Editor:

The New York State Legislature has decided that the
dormitories on SUNY campuses will become ‘“‘self-
sufficient.” Economic independence from the state and
campus budgetary process has serious ramifications, such
as a 12 percent dorm rate increase for Albany State, and
varying room rates for the different dorms. Yet this in-
itiative offers us, as students, the opportunity to demand
what should have always been ours: rights as if we were
(in fact because we are) tenants, in the dormitories.

SASU and SA are organizing a coalition of students to
fight for these Dorm tenants rights.

The first meeting of this coalition is Thursday, April
10th at 7pm outside of SA .

We need people to get involved in the legislative process
that will enact these changes, so please attend.

Sour gripes

To The Editor:

In Friday’s ASP Bruce Loren enlightened the university
community by informing us that if one earns some of his
money for school via menial labor because he must do so,
then he will graduate a person of higher character than
those who worked voluntarily and those who devoted
their time to other endeavors.

Mr. Loren offers himself as an example of his theory.
After graduation he plans on demonstrating his superior
character by making more money than members of the
Benetton generation and then bursting out with a hearty
laugh. Bruce, I’m sorry to rain on your tirade, but
character is not measured by one’s salary nor by one’s
background. All your letter shows is that in four years
you’ve built up a lot of resentment against affluent
students.

It’s great that you’ve taken pride in your accomplish-
ment and I agree that special congratulations are in order

for students who worked their way through school, but
the revenge you seek is unjustified. The good fortunes of
those students with new cars is obviously not their own
doing and their good luck is not a valid reason for you to
hold them in contempt.

Finally, concerning your indignance of the Benetton
boomers, is it wrong that these people ‘‘gain pleasure
from the sight of themselves,...and from hearing
themselves speak.’’ Perhaps had you got pleasure those
ways you would have never built up the tension necessary
to write such a bitter letter.

Keep watching

To The Editor

We the projectionists and managers of University
Cinema’s Saturday night’s showing of White Nights
would like to sincerely thank the patient audience of both
the early and late shows. The technical problems that
have plagued us for two years surfaced anew this time in
the form of failing sound equipment. We are grateful to
the several volunteers who helped us patch together a
makeshift sound system and to the other members of the
audience who endured the delays with a good humor that
encouraged us to keep trying. The support they gave us
came at a time when many of us were discouraged and
ready to give up trying altogether. They reminded us most
effectively what Cinemas is supposed to be about:having
fun at the movies. We haven’t had fun at the movies in a
long time. Despite all the problems we had on Saturday,
the supportive audience and eventual successful showing
of the film was just the boost we needed to keep going.
We'll keep on trying if you’ll keep on coming. Our au-
diences deserve that much.

To the people who got discouraged and left: our
sincerest apologies. If you wish to express your
dissatisfaction with the current state of our equipment we
suggest that you contact your central council represen-
tative and/or the SA Controller, Eric Schwartzman.
While Central Council has already voted on our equip-
ment issue and has voted us $7000 for new equipment,
that will only cover the cost of two projectors. As the au-
dience of Saturday night is well aware, the sound equip-
ment is also on its last leg. Our customers might also be
interested to know that our appropriation was cut to
$7,000 which means that we cannot show the same
amount or quality of film as they are accustomed to.

We have been trying to bring our technical problems to
the attention of those in a position to do something about
it for two years. We hope our customers will speak out
now on our and their behalf and have better luck than we
have had. Thanks again to the great crowd on Saturday
night. We hope to continue to see you at the movies.

Open-minded jeans

To The Editor:

I am writing in response to the wearing of blue-jeans in
support of homosexuality. I was really surprised to find
so many closed minded people. I must have heard ‘“‘If you
wear blue-jeans, then you are gay,’’ over a dozen times. I
cannot get over the stupidity of it. I am not gay, but I feel
that if anyone is they should be able to live their lives the
way they want to, without anyone judging them. No one
has a right to judge anyone else. I was also surprised to
find out how many people on this campus are in serious
lack of a back bone. These people are not against
homosexuality, but are afraid to say anything because of
what other people might think. People should also realize
that the wearing of blue jeans is not only in support of
homosexuality, but also in support of anti-
discrimination. People should be able to live their lives
the way they want to, regardless of sex, race, religion, or
sexual preference.

Farewell message

To The Editor:

In response to the April 4 ASP coverage of my resigna-
tion, I do not at this time wish to reply to the distortions,
inaccuracies and half-truths that emerged from some of
my former friends and colleagues. Sadly enough and once
again, the Jewish Establishment, and those involved with
it, have let me down. S

To those Jews who now wonder more than ever where
they fit in Jewishly, I beg you to keep searching. Seek out
the wisdom of our sacred texts, which have withstood the
test of time. Find yourselves teachers whose lives are ex-
amples of a living and vibrant Jewish spiritual tradition,
deeply rooted in service to G-d. Endeavor to locate others
who long to manifest a positive and active Jewish con-
nection. They do exist, at SUNYA and in the world - it
has been my privilege to have known so many of them.

I’m sorry for all the Jews that the Jewish Establish-
ment, with all its money, power and prestige, has turned
away from Judaism (or failed to turn on). If only it would
realize, as do more and more of those who circumvent it,

what spiritual wealth, what tradition, what holy writings,
what exalted master Judaism has for us to aspire towards.
But it will not, it almost cannot, for its tradition and
teachings are not rooted in G-d and holiness.

My task in this world is to open doors whereby Jews
from all backgrounds can begin (for some, renew) a per-
sonal exploration of their Jewishness, in a non-
judgemental environment of love, warmth and accep-
tance. For almost a decade, I have been able to teach this
way at SUNYA, be it while working for Chabad, UAS
and until recently the Campus Commission. But as the
events of the last 2 months unfolded and the Jewish
Establishment, both on and off campus, worked increas-
ingly harder to force me into its straight jacket that simp-
ly does not fit, it became clear to me that the message
from Above is that the time has arrived to take my work
elsewhere.

To the SUNYA community, I wish you much blessing
and light. May we be privileged in our day to meet again,
this Hine: in joyous celebration of the one G-d who created
us all.

— Rabbi Yaakov (Jay) Kellman

Cream your friends

To The Editor:

As the 85-86 academic year comes to an end many
things come to mind. One thing that may be on your mind
is revenge, or just a desire to embarrass someone. Well,
here is your opportunity. Telethon ’86 in the tradition of
Telethon will be selling pies for $50 to be thrown in the
face of the person of your choice. It could be your room-
mate who kept you awake at night. A friend who has
short sheeted your bed. Or even a professor, for whatever
reason. If you have someone you want to see covered with
whipped cream on telethon night, just get together $50
and be sure your victim is willing. and on telethon night
April 11 & 12, you will get your chance.

Undebatable success

To the Editor:

As the regular season for the Albany State Debate
Society comes to a close, the time is right to share our
results with the university community. The young team,
which has been without a coach this year, has been
something of a sensation. Competing in the Northeast
Forensics League of the NCAA for only its second year,
Albany State has quickly climbed into the ranks of the
elite. Surprising the perennial favorites including U.S.
Military Academy and Cornell University, Albany col-
lected three team trophies and three individual trophies at
the last NEFL sanctioned tournament at the University of
Rhode Island. Mark Brisman and Alan Rafterman took
7th aad 3rd places respectively for overall speaker points
and second in the debate category. Mellisa Visconti took -
6th with her Single Interpretation of Drama. The efforts
were strong enough to capture the 6th Sweepstakes
Award for overall team performance. Moveover, the
team trophies for the year’s regular season were awarded
at Rhode Island. Albany’s speakers placed six overall and
our debaters placed a remarkable Sth in the Northeast.
With your support the Albany State Debate Society will
continue to represent this school on the prestigious inter-
collegiate circuit. Several of our members have qualified
for the nationals in Blumsberg, PA.

—Sulian Ehriich
Secretary Albany State Debate Society

Poorly informed

To The Editor:

Bruce Loren’s letter in the April 4 edition of the ASP
was incorrect on at least one point. The College
Republicans of SUNYA never have, and so long as I am
president of the group, never will support any group
which sponsors or proposes the monitoring of professors.
If Mr. Loren had done some basic research, he would
have discovered this to be true. First, there was a rather in
depth article in the December 10 ASP which clearly
established the CR position on monitoring. Second, there
is a letter on file with SA president Steve Gawley which
also explicitly states our position. Finally, Mr. Loren
could have simply called myself or any other active
member of the College Republicans and asked.

Evidently, Mr. Loren did not-consider it necessary to
do his homework. His negligence can cost an organiza-
tion its credibility. An unfounded accusation such as Mr.
Loren’s is of such detriment to the future of our organiza-
tion that the Executive Board of the College Republicans
feels it necessary for Mr. Loren to investigate these facts,
and if he finds them to be true, to furnish the College
Republicans with a formal apology through this page.

said.

“A person should not have to

As a result of the varied
criteria, many students regard
voting as too great a hassle, Bot-
winik said.

Botwinik defended the propos-
ed bill, saying, ‘‘local officials
make many decisions which affect
students such as grouper laws and
fire codes, but many students
can’t vote for them because they
cannot present the correct
material to the election board to
prove them able to vote. Students
are an integral part of any com-
munity and should have the right
to vote for these officials with less
hassle.’’

According to Hartman, the
people lobbying in favor of the
bill want the law to explicitly state

procedure to be decided separate-
ly by each board of electors,” he
said.

WILL BE COMPENSATED

State, was proposed by Governor
Cuomo about three weeks ago,
according to Celina Roland, a
New York State Senate Commit-
tee clerk.

Roland added that it has passed
the Assembly Committee and is
now being reviewed in the Senate
Committee. If the committee
members approve the bill, it will
first advance to the House floor
and then to the senate floor.

SA lobbyists have focused their
efforts on Senator Eugene Levy,
the chair of the Elections
Committee.

“Many assemblypersons were
very favorable towards the bill.
We believe it will pass the house
floor,” said Phil Botwinik, Stu-
dent Action Committee Vice-
Chair. However, ‘‘the Senate will
have to be lobbied heavily,’’ he
said.

According to Botwinik, lobby-
ing is necessary in the Senate
because it is Republican-
controlled. ‘‘The Republicans
don’t want to support what
Cuomo represents.””

Another reason lobbying must
be stronger on the Senate, said
Student Action Committee Chair

Larry Hartman, is that, ‘‘Senator
Levy considers this bill as a poten-
tial Pandora’s box. Governor
Cuomo’s proposal will limit
restrictions on voting regulations
and qualifications for all in New
York State. Levy believes that
students should be able to easily
vote in their college communities,
but he is concerned with in-
dividuals coming from out of
state and taking advantage of lax
residency laws.’’

Ten other senators serve on the
Senate’s Election Committee,
Botwinik said. “If any student is
a constituent of any one of them
[Senate Election Committee
Members], he should contact that
senator and urge him to support
this bill,”” he said.

Levy was not available for
comment, but when asked which
way he would probably vote,
Roland said, “‘the senator is ex-
amining the whole issue. I’m not
in the position to say whether or
not it will be passed or if it should
be passed.”

“Students can help to lobby by‘
contacting Senator Levy by
phone, letters, or even a visit,’’
said Botwinik.

“The issue basically comes
down to changing the wording in
the present bill to make it more
convenient to vote in each
district,” said Hartman.

According to Hartman, New
York does not have a consistent
law regarding the process by
which students register to vote.
“The procedure depends on the
locality and on how the board of
electors want it done in their com-
munity,’’ he said.

“Students have a special in-
terest in this bill because they are
transient and are not viewed as
taxpayers so [they] are often given
a hard time when registering to
vote in their college town,”’ said
Hartman.

According to Botwinik, the
local board of electors have a
large influence on who votes and
who does not vote.

“Some communities can make
people present a birth certificate,
a social security card, or require
that one can prove that the com-
munity is his legal home. This
makes it difficult for students to
vote,” said Botwinik.

“Many election boards con-

Student lobbying is an effective method of
maintaining the quality and cost of a SUNY
education, say legislators who have worked with
student lobbyist.

Among the issues students have lobbied on
during this year’s legislative session are the
SUNY budget, dorm self-sufficiency, a student
voting rights bill, and a bill of rights for dorm
students, according to Student Association of the
State University (SASU) President Jane
MacAlevey.

Assemblyman Mark Alan Siegel (D-
Manhattan), Chair of the Assembly Higher
Education Committee, said student lobbying had
“a tremendous positive effect on’’ student issues
because it provides his office with ‘‘real informa-
tion of the needs of students, and for whom is
SUNY created and run? The students.””

Siegel said his committee ‘‘added millions of
dollars to the Governor’s proposals to see that
the quality of a SUNY education is enhanced.”’

State Senator Howard Nolan (D-Albany) who
represents Albany County, said part of the
reason that student lobbying is effective is ‘‘ob-
viously they’re talking about their own political
situation, they have their own axe to grind, as op-
posed to people who are paid to represent a
client.””

Assemblyman Saul Weprin (D-Queens) said
student lobbyists ‘‘do a very professional job”
but added ‘‘if they could raise the percentage of
students voting they might be more effective.”

Student lobbying effective

He contrasted student lobbyng efforts with those
of senior citizens who have a high election tur-
nout and receive considerable attention from
lawmakers.

MacAlevey said the perception that student
don’t vote does hurt SASU’s lobbying efforts but
“student are disenfranchised because most
SUNY students can’t vote at their college
communities.””

SASU is lobbying for passage of a bill propos-
ed by Governor Cuomo that would make it easier
for students to vote in their college towns. The
bill would change the fact that local election
boards can consider in determining a voter’s
residence and remove many of those such as
motor vehicle registration, that election boards
have used to keep students from voting.

Assemblyman Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan),
Chair of the Election Law Committee and spon-
sor of the voting rights bill in the Assembly said
he had heard from SUNYA students on the bill.

He also said that it was still unclear whether
the bill would pass. “I think there’s a good sym-
pathetic ear in the Assembly, but the Senate has
difficulty with the concept.”’

MacAlevey said the bill’s chances improved in
the Senate when Senator Eugene Levy (R-
Nassau), chair of the Election Law Committee,
put the bill in for sponsorship in his name.
“Many people told us we didn’t have a lot of
hope in the Senate, but it looks like it’s going bet-
ter than we expected,’ she said.

Silver said the students he met with were ‘‘ef-

The Statement of Policy which follows is in compliance

Reading is generally the biggest part of stu-
dying and much of our learning is
understanding and remembering what we
have read, which is very different from
merely memorizing.

One method of study-reading is the
SQ3R method, which was developed by
Francis P. Robinson. This method divides
study-reading into 5 parts: Survey/Ques-
tion/Read/Review/Recite. Briefly, the
method is as follows:

Survey: Glance over the chapter
headings to find the main points, read the
final summary paragraph if there is one.
This orientation helps organize the ideas.

Question: Turn the first heading into a
question, to make the important points
stand out.

Read: Read to answer the question. This
is an active search for the answer to your
question.

Recite: Having read the first section,
look away and try briefly to recite the
answer to your question in your own
words. This means you have an understan-
ding of the material. Now repeat the above
steps with each successive headed section,
and jot down cue phrases in an outline.

Review: When the assignment has been
completed, look over your notes. Check
your memory on the main points and sub-
points by covering up your notes and try-
ing to recall them.

This is a very effective and active
method of learning, and will facilitate a
real comprehension of your readings.

There are other techniques of academic
success in addition to time management
and study-reading methods. An excellent
book on the subject is How to Study in
Colleg by Walter Pauk. If you would like
further information, Middle Earth offers
many info-tapes on self-help. The info-
tape number is 442-5893. If you would like.
to speak with someone about any ques-.
tions or concerns you have about these
topics or any others, Middle Earth phone
counselors are available Sunday through
Thursday from 9 am until midnight, and
24 hours on Friday and Saturday. The
number is 442-5777, or by walking into the
office located in 102 Schuyler Hall, Dutch
Quad.

To quote Walter Pauk, ‘‘Achieving suc-
cess through learning leads directly to im-
proving or maintaining a healthy self im-
age. With success, comes a sense of per-
sonal dignity and pride, as well as a feeling
of control over your academic environ-
ment’’. With effort and commitment, this
success can be yours.

Cheryl A. Bellus is a staff member of Mid-

lege towns.”

Conners said that when he examined
1984 voting returns in Guilderland’s 22nd
District, which consists mostly of
SUNYA’s Indian Quad students, he found
many people had voted in the presidential
election, but not in the local reaces, which
he called “‘very responsible. It means the
voters are not from Albany and are not in-
terested or voting in local races.””

Conners said he does not have an opi-
nion on the voting rights issue because he
hnas not yet seen a copy of the bill.

Although student lobbyist were not able
to defeat the dorm self-sufficiency pro-
posal, ‘We were told by students’ best
friends in the legislature that we would
lose, short of holding the legislature
hostage,’’ said MacAlevey. Students were
able to get some concessions in the budget
and to gain ground on other issues,
however.

Two important budget victories were an
increase in child-care appropriations at
community colleges and an increase in the

Gawley said he appointed Miller to be
the Senate-liaison for SA and that it was
Miller’s responsibility to handle the stu-
dent vacancies on the University Senate.

“It’s difficult for me to imagine how
anyone leading a group of people could at-
tribute the failings or alleged failing of that
body to anyone but themselves,”” Gawley
said, referring to Miller’s accusaitons.

SA Programming Director Betty Ginz-
burg said that although it wasn’t the most
successful year for programming, this year
was far from being a disaster.

Because of the new drinking age, the rise
of fraternities, and self-sufficiency, Ginz-
burg said she has had enough work for
three people, and all have put a strain on
programming. She added that she is sup-
posed to get assistance from the S.A. vice-
president and has not.

This was a touchy year for the groups,
Ginzburg said, adding that SA’s being in a
deficit has hindered some of the program-
ming she wanted to do.

“Although this year has been very dif-
ficult,” said Ginzburg, ‘‘I don’t think SA
is in a crisis situation.”

“There are always conflicts between us
[the Executive Branch] and Council,” said
SA Vice-President Ross Abelow. “These
are people who have vendettas.

“T’m not on a vendetta,”’ said Charny.
“1’m just trying to get my job done as In-
ternal Affairs Chair.”

Gawley said his administration achieved
what it had promised. ‘‘We’ve built a bet-
ter relationship with the city despite our
challenge of the grouper law,’’ Gawley
said.

Nota single student was evicted from a
house for violating the grouper law since
he took office, Gawley said. ‘‘We bridged

they ‘‘focus on attacking.”

Also working against NYPIRG’s fun-

YAF president Rich Schiotis said that
the Third Circuit ruling “‘reflects a trend’”’
which ‘‘gives a boost to the New York
case.”

The current NYPIRG funding system,
according to Schiotis, represents the
“tyrany of the majority’’ in which a small
number of students who do not support
NYPIRG must fund the interests of the
majority who do.

Mayor Whalen will attest to this.””

Gawley cited an increase in student ac-
tivism during his administration. ‘‘We had
the divestment rally in September, the
open hearing on the alcohol policy in Oc-
tober, and the alcohol protest in
November,”’ he said.

“*We set up SARC which hasn’t worked
Perfectly, but has been effective,” Gawley
said, adding that SUNYA had the largest
voter registration drive of university
students in the country because of the ef-
forts of his administration.

Compared to the past few years, said
Central Council Chair Bill McCann, this
year has run smoothly between the bran-
ches of SA. ‘‘There’s no intra-branch con-
flict,”’ he said.

“You can have two philosophies,” said
McCann. ‘You can be antagonistic with
the Executive Branch, or quietly work out
your differences behind closed doors.””

McCann said he feels SA is in good
shape and not in a crisis situation.

It’s easy to have ideals, McCann said,
but you have to be practical and realistic
first.

“We can disagree and hash our our dif-
ferences. There’s a friendship,”’ said Cen-
tral Council member Eric Holzberg.

“There is a big strain between the Ex-
ecutive Branch and Council,”’ said Student
Community Committee co-chair Irwin
Weinstein, who is running for SA vice-
president this year. ‘It would be good if
everyone would drop their vendettas and
learn to work with each other. Things
would be better.’”

wouldn’t say things are. going great
either.” a

ding ‘“‘a great. racquet for them.’’
NYPIRG’s funding system at SUNYA is
due for a student referendum next spring,

Although Schiotis predicted that the
voting percentages in next year’s referen-
dum will be close, Young said that referen-
dum votes are ‘“‘never just a factor of stu-
dent support. It depends on who’s more
vocal.’

The College Republicans has also placed
the fighting of PIRG on its agenda.

According to Steve Korowitz, president
of the SUNYA College Republicans, his
group is “‘questioning the constitutionality
of a mandatory fee for NYPIRG, a group
which is politically biased.”

However, Korowitz stressed that if
NYPIRG were to lose its funding, ‘‘it is
important there ‘be an alternative. The
SUNY Board of Trustees have a discussion
of the ramifications of a possible decision
against NYPIRG’s funding. If they don’t,
there could be a threat to the existence of
NYPIRG.”” QO

Another problem facing the expan-
sion of Don’t Walk Alone, said Oran-
soff, is the lack of people willing to
volunteer as escorts. ‘‘We were hoping
to have at least eight people to escort per
night; so far we only have about five for
each night,’’ she said.

Don’t ‘Walk Alone held an interest
meeting Sunday night and no new
volunteers showed up, said Oransoff.

state budget has risen approximately 30
percent in the last four years, most of that
increase has gone to corrections and aid to
local school districts, leaving other in-
terests, incuding SUNY, to fight over the
remainder.

Now that the New York State budget
has finally passed, MacAlevey said SASU
will concentrate on the voting rights bill
and a bill of rights for dorm students.

MacAlevey said that in order to get the
two bills passed “‘there’s going to have to

Student apathy not the issue

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — To-
day’s students may be more in-
terested in jobs and wealth than
their predecessors, but it’s not
because they’re greedier, two
University of Wisconsin pro-
fessors say.

Their study of student attitudes
also suggests calling collegians
apathetic is a bum rap.

“7 think attributing apathy to
this generation of college students
is misleading,’ said Professor
Bud McClure of the University of
Wisconsin at River Falls.

In a sample of almost 300
students from the River Falls
campus, McClure and associate
Thomas Russo found students to
be most concerned with issues
that have immediate impact on
their lives.

Students listed abortion, the
nuclear arms race, drug use,
pollution, conservation, politics,
world hunger, unemployment,
poverty and equal rights as their
most important concerns.

“International issues of today
are perceived to be out of con-
trol,”” McClure said.

In contrast, the ‘‘quiet genera-
tion” of the fifties was more
orderly because ‘“‘there was a
sense of (national)
invulnerability.”

But today’s students, McClure
said, are not much different from
their predecessors of the late six-
ties and early seventies.

He said he thinks it’s because
observers often exaggerate the
number of students who were
politically active in the sixties,
and underestimate the number
who are active today.

“. . Attributing apathy to this
generation of college students is
misleading.’”’

— Bud McClure

The key to provoking student
activism, he said, is to find issues
that affect students directly, and
ones about which they feel they
can influence the outcome.

McClure said he attributes stu-
dent interest in South African
apartheid to students realizing
they can influence college
holdings in companies doing
business with the Pretoria
government.

J don’t disagree with” the no-
tion that students are not as
politically passive as some critics
suggest, said Kenneth Green of
UCLA, which co-sponsors with
the American Council on Educa-
tion an annual survey of some
200,000 freshmen nationwide.

Most observers who call col-
legians apathetic, in fact, cite the
UCLA study, which, among
other discoveries, has found
freshmen becoming ever more
materialistic in their life goals.

The findings recently convinced
a group of college presidents to
resolve to make ‘“‘community ser-
vice’? a graduation requirement.
The group hoped to end students’
“preoccupation” with career and
material goals.

But a number of other studies,
most recently from Mount Hood

College in Maryland, documents
that student attitudes generally
change and become less egocen-
tric during the course of college.

And many of the other impres-
sions of students as overly
materialistic are derived from
studies done at “‘private elitist
schools in the East,’ McClure
said.

NY, NY, what a wonderful town...
to host this year’s World Series

By Paul Lander
‘STAFF WRITER

This could be the year.

This is what New York baseball fans
have been waiting for - the opening of the
1986 baseball season. For the second
straight year, the World Series has a
chance of staying in one state - no, not
Missouri again - but New
York. Yes, the Big Apple

has a chance of hosting Sports
what could be one of the Column

greatest events in profes-
sional sports history.

According to many magazines,
newspapers, and sportscasters, this could
be the year for the long awaited Subway
Series. Both the Mets and the Yankees
have what it takes to get to the big
showdown. It would be a great matchup:
the Mets with the best starting pitching in
the major league versus the Yankees with
one of the best hitting teams in the major
league.

When you think of the Mets, your first
thought is Dwight Gooden. The best pit-
cher in baseball is coming off an
unbelievable season. He recorded a 24-4
record, with an ERA of 1.51. The National
League Cy Young Award winner finished
with 268 strikeouts and 8 shutouts. Amaz-
ingly enough, he is expected to exceed
these statistics.

There are other pitchers on the Mets
who have given the team a very young, but
superior staff. Seconding the starting rota-
tion is Ron Darling. The, 16 game winner is
followed by ‘‘El Sid’’ Fernandez and Rick
Aguilera, respectively. The fifth starter
will probably be either Bob Ojeda, picked
up in a winter deal with the Boston Red

_, Sox, or Ed Lynch.

The offensive power for the Mets will be
supplied by very capable bats. Gold glove
winner Keith Hernandez leads the way for
a team loaded with talent. The career .300
hitter will probably have another typical
Keith Hernandez year. Catcher Gary

* Carter will begin his second season as the

Met’s backstop. His 32 home runs and 100
runs batted in were enough to lead the
team. Also, his experience and knowledge
of the game allowed him to work with the
young pitching staff. He was a key figure
for their success in 85.

Maybe this could be the year for Darryl
Strawberry. Even though he missed seven
weeks of the last season - out with an in-
jured right thumb - he contributed 29
home runs and 79 RBI’s. If he stays
healthy, Strawberry could hit over 40 long
balls and drive in over 100 runs easily.

The rest of the line-up consists of Rafael
Santana, one of the most consistent short-
stops in the National League, Len
Dykstra, who replaced Mookie Wilson
(eye injury in spring training), in center-
field, a platooning third baseman -
Howard Johnson and Ray Knight (or
rookie Kevin Mitchell), and a platooning
second baseman - Wally Backman and
Tim Teafel. George Foster will continue as
a fixture in left field.

The main concern for manager Davey
Johnson’s Mets is the bullpen. If Jessie

averaging 19 goals a game, to a somewhat
more modest figure.

“I’ve been telling my players that we
have nothing to lose and everything to gain
(against Cortland),” said Priore. ‘We
have to limit them to 10-12 goals, because
we have the firepower on offense to win. If
we get that, and maybe a little rain, and
we're even.”

Orosco can come back to his 1984 form, 31
saves, 2.59 ERA, the bullpen, which also
has Roger McDowell, may no longer be a
problem.

The Yankees have a potent offense. Led
by American League Most Valuable Player
Don Mattingly, .324, 35 HR’s, and 145
RBI’s, the Yanks have probably the best
hitting team in the American League. Not
only does Mattingly do it with the bat, but
he is the best defensive first baseman in the
AL. If he could put numbers like those
from the ’85 season on the board, he’ll be
sure to be in the MVP running for ’86.

The Yanks also have speed on the team.
Rickey Henderson, ’86 AL base stealing
champ, will begin his second season in
centerfield for the Bronx Bombers. Also in
the outfield is the veteran Dave Winfield.
Winfield is coming off another stellar per-
formance in ’85. When he keeps the bat in
his hand when he swings, he’s a dangerous
hitter.

The Yankees may have platooning occur
in four different positions. Leftfield will
be shared by Ken Griffey and Henry Cot-
to, who had a tremendous spring training.
Because of Cotto’s success, young hopeful
Dan Pasqua was sent to the minor league
team, Columbus.

Thirdbase will be split between Mike
Pagliarulo (poor spring training) and, can
you belieye it, Dale Berra. Berra, who had
a very rough season last year, has perform-
ed well in ‘spring training. The catching
duties belong to Butch Wynegar and Ron
Hassey, a pleasant surprise last year. The
final position to be shared is*designated
hitter. Both players were aquired this past
off-season. Righthanded hitter Gary
Roenicke, from the Baltimore Orioles, and
lefthander Mike Easler, from the Red Sox,
will split the duties.

The rest of the infield includes co-

captain Willie Randolph, the keystone of

The big question mark for Lou

Thirty-six year old Ron Guidry, coming
off a 21-6 record in ’85, leads a staff that is
very interesting. Joe Niekro and Ed Whit-

However, the loss of Phil Niekro may hurt
down the stretch.

The other starters are young. Rookie
Bob Teuksbury, who played on the
Albany-Colonie Yankees last season, and
Dennis Rasmussen appear to have the final
two starting jobs.

The bullpen will be led by  starter-
turned-reliever Dave Righetti, 31 saves last
season. Also, second year man Brian

was last year, the Yanks could have a
strong one-two punch.

Albany trackmen outrun by Springfield, 105-53

Freshman David Walker took the high jump and triple jump Saturday.

By Steven Silberglied
STAFF WRITER

The Albany State men’s track team was
defeated at the hands of Springield College
105-53 on Saturday to lower their record to
1-2.

Albany was forced to compete without
eight scorers from the indoor SUNYAC’s
due to various injuries. In addition, most
of the weightmen were not able to attend
as Albany was outscored 35-0 in those
events.

Head Coach Roberto Vives had many
runners in off events. He stated ‘‘our goal
is to peak for the SUNY’s and states. Since
we don’t have much time to train we have
to train through some of the earlier
meets.””

Vives added ‘‘considering we haven’t
been on the track I was pleased with the
times. When we have our full team back
we'll be a strong team.”’

He was especially pleased with Senior
Chuck Bronner who ran a 0:33 in the 3000
meter steeple chase to break the school
record.

“‘That’s an incredible time for this early
in the season,” said Vives. ‘Though his
form isn’t perfect his mental toughness
makes up for it. He has an excellent shot at
qualifying for the nationals.””

Another athlete with a good shot at the
nationals is Senior Captain Bruce Van
Tassel, who has been extremely consistent
was a triple winner. He won the high
hurdles and intermediate hurdles and led
off on the mile relay. His hurdle times
were 15.6 and 57.2 respectively.

Sophomore Mike Bizzoui’s times of 15.8
and 58.4 placed him second in both hurdle
events. Bizzoui was another member of the
victorious 3:29.9 mile relay which also in-
cluded Van Rassel, Chris Lavoie and Ver-
non Miller.

‘Miller also placed third in the 1500 with
a personal best 4:05.6. This was after run-

ning a relatively slow 2:14 opening half
mile.

Albany teamates David Blette and
Trevor Hash took second and third place
in the 800 meter run. Their times; 1:57.6
and 1:58.7, came again after a relative
slow 58 second first quarter. Coach Vives
said “they picked up right where they left
off indoors.” They have been nip-and-
tuck all season long.

Another fine performance was turned in
by Freshman Bruce Gaynor. He placed se-
cond in both the 400 meters and 200 meters
with times of 50.73 and 23.7. These times
were encouraging as Vives has been con-
centrating on building up his speed.

Freshman David Walker led the field
sales with victories in the high jump,

6’6”’, and triple jump, 3’9””.

Bob Balach was the only other Dane to
score in the field. He was second in the
long jump 19°54” and third in the triple
jump 38°10%”*.

Many harriers returned for todays home
meet at 3:00 pm against Cortland. |

The ICAC threw around the idea for

Rivers estimates that Carnesecca will

Grossman shines in netmen’s loss

93-3 Danes fall

By.Brian Feinblum
STAFF WRITER

As the spring weather warms the cam-
pus, the Albany State men’s tennis team
could not fight off the heat of a smoking
team from Concordia College in Bronx-
ville, New York.

Albany State was defrosted, 7-2, last
Saturday, evening their spring record to
3-3 and over-all fall-spring record fell to
11-5. With eleven matches remaining this
fall, the Danes have an excellent chance of
breaking the all-time school record of 14
set ten years ago.

After whitewashing Binghamton 7-2,

the Danes could only make the Concordia

matches went the full three set distance.

Steve Greenberg of Albany State even
managed a shortout, 6-0, over Miguel

The lone victory in singles for the Danes
came from number one seed senior David
Grossman, who swept Anil Kottoor of the
Division II team, 6-3, 6-3.

The Danes took one of three doubles
matches, winning 6-2, 6-3 with the com-
bination of Jay Eisenberg and Mike

Netwomen ahead 4-2 before rain-out

By Danny Rosenthal

The Albany State Women’s Tennis team
still has to officially win their first match.
Unofficially, and in their minds though,
their first win was recorded Sunday after-
noon in a match shortened by rain.

Of the weekend’s two scheduled mat-
ches, this one, against William Smith
University, was the only one played; and it
couldn’t even be completed because of
poor weather conditions. The other slated
match against University of Rochester was
cancelled because that school no longer
competes in women’s tennis.

Before the rain made conditions

Women’s track bows to

By David Blette
STAFF WRITER

The Albany State womens track team
started off their season with some good
news and some bad new. The spring season
opened last Wednesday with a loss to Divi-
sion II Springfield College in Springfield
Massachusettes.

The good news was that the women set
four new school records. The bad news
was the team was beaten 101-32 by a
strong Springfield squad.

“This is the toughest meet on our
schedule and Springfield really loaded up
all the barrels this meet,’’ said head coach
Ron White.

The strong competition brought out the
best in the Danes as many athletes came
through with early season personal bests.

Athlete of the meet, Winsome Foder-
ingham led the team with two new school
records. Foderingham faced indoor hurdle
national champ Janice Williams in the
100m hurdles, taking second to her with a
new record of 15.7.

Foderingham’s time for the hurdles was
even more suprising because this was only
the second time she has done this event.

Later in the meet Foderingham ran away

from the field to take first in the 200m
dash with a new record time of 25.0.

The third school record of the day was
set by Barbara Shipley as she threw 116 *
4” to take second. Shipley also took third
in the shotput with a throw of thirty-one
feet, two and one half inches.

Freshman Keely Wilson broke a record
as she won the triple jump with a leap of

tion of these matches which seemed to be
leaning toward Albany’s favor.

Rain interrupted a tight first set being
batttled by the Chiodo and Levy duo.
They were down 5-4 when play was halted.
Second doubles was a match in which
Albany’s Katz and Goldberg appeared to
have easily in hand. They’d won the first
set 6-3, and were leading 3-0 in the second
set when rain hit. In third doubles, co-
captains Forbes and Nina Chung also held
an advantage, being ahead 4-3 in the
decisive third set.

Because of intercolegiate Athletic rules
regarding tennis, which states that one
team must win five of the nine matches to
be declared victorious, this match will of-
ficially go down as a suspension.

This means that the Danes would only
have to win one of the three doubles mat-
ches to officially win their season’s first
match.

‘Unfortunately,’ said Myers “the
William Smith coach insists that the match
be declared a suspension. Since we won’t
ever have the opportunity to complete it, it
will probably stay that way.”

Coach Myers and her players look at it
differently. The coach said that she was
“very confident that we would have won
the whole match. I’ll look into the rules
concerning this type of situation.’”” She
said, “‘but regardless of what happens of-
ficially, we'll take this one as awin.””

Springfield

In the 400m junior Parri Barrett took se-
cond with a fine early season performance
of 1:01.8. Facing tough compeition
freshman Kathy Bellantoni took third in
the 400m hurdles with a time of 1.11.9.

“7 am excited about my performance
for this meet but I am still hoping to im-
prove some more,” said Bellantoni who
also took third in the high jump going four

thirty-four feet, five inches.

‘With this jump she is only nine inches
off of NCAA meet qualifying standards.’’
said White.

In addition to the records, many athletes
had ‘‘breakthrough”’ performances. Top-
ping off the list was freshman Mary Lou
Webster who took second in the 800m with
an outstanding personal best of 2:23.4.

When asked how he felt about the meet
overall coach White commented, ‘‘Well
the score was not an indication of what I
saw in the team.””

The team will get to face competition on
their own level Wednesday the 9th, when
they travel to the Binghamton Invitational
at SUNY Binghamton. This weekend the
Danes host the Albany Invite. oO

SPORTS EDITOR

St. John’s men’s basketball coach
Lou Carnesecca will be the keynote
speaker at the first ICAC Athletic
Awards Banquet to be held on April
29th.

In his 17 years at the helm of the Divi-
sion I team from Jamaica, NY,
Carnesecca has a 402-136 career record.
This year the Redmen, after winning the
Big East championships, made their
13th trip to the NCAAs, where they lost
to Auburn in the second round to finish
the season at 31-5.

The St. John’s coach has won
numerous honors, including Coach of
the Year awards from the Big East Con-
ference, UPI, Sporting News, and the
U.S. Basketball Writers in his 17 years.
Additionally he has earned many
humanitarian awards for his contribu-
tions to civic, youth anc religious
organizations. Cornesecca was honored
by the New York legislature and govern
on Mario Cuomo for his contributions
to youth and athletics in New York
State. The coach is also chairman of the
International Basketball Committee of
the National Association of Basketball
Coaches.

“*The reason why we are doing this is
to bring attention to the athletic pro-
gram and a little recognition to the
athletes,” said ICAC chair Mark
Rivers. ‘“Having Carnesecca here will be
good for us as a school and good for our
athletic program.”’

The banquet is open to all Albany
State athletes and a guest. Athletes will
be receiving invitations next week and
will be asked to RSVP the following
week. ICAC is also sending memos to
all coaches informing them of the event.
Tickets will be sold for $5.00 apiece.
Since each meal is $9.95, UAS is sub-
sidizing the rest of the cost. Other
groups lending aid to ICAC are Athletes.
Council and Speakers Forum.

Tickets will be available for non-
athletes depending on how many
athletes plan to attend. Rivers estimates
at least 25-75 tickets will be available.

The main purpose to bring together
the athletes and coaches is to give
awards out to many of them. There are
six areas of awards.

Male and female most valuable
athletes for each seperate season, fall,
winter and spring will be named. Then
there will be a most improved male and
female athlete as well as a Rookie of the
Year, both male and female.

Additionally there will be an Ed Kelly
Memorial Award, named after a
SUNYA lacrosse player who died in
January of ’85. Rivers would like to see
that award also be annually given to an
athlete who displays outstanding dedica-
tion and sacrifice.

For coaches, there will be male and

Stickmen thrashed by fourth-ranked RIT, 19-7

By Mike MacAdam
‘SPORTS EDITOR

So far this season, the Albany
State lacrosse team has found that
the home field advantage is not all
it’s cracked up to be.

After enjoying some southern
hospitality in the Florida Sun
Coast tournament where the
Danes swept the four-game
round-robin event, Albany has
beaten Skidmore on the road, but
has lost their only two home
games, including Saturday’s 19-7
loss to the RIT Tigers.

RIT, ranked fourth in the na-
tion in Division III, only enjoyed
a 39-28 edge in groundballs, but
outshot Albany, 48-27. The
Tigers used deft stickhandling to
control the ball for virtually the
entire first quarter and led, 6-1,
going into the second. The Danes
controlled the ball well in the se-
cond quarter, but RIT power play
goals hurt Albany. The Tigers
were able to increase their lead to
10-2 by halftime on the strength
of those goals.

Albany State head coach
Chuck Priore, who is in his first
year at the helm, felt that the
Danes were not physically over-
matched with RIT, but that the
RIT program was at a more ad-
vanced stage of development.

“They weren’t better athletes
than us and they weren’t any bet-

second half as if it were 0-0 and
they did,”’ said Priore.

Albany’s offense got back on
track to score five goals in the se-
cond half, although RIT was
answering with nine of their own.

The Danes other home loss was
their opener last Tuesday against
RPI. The Engineers squeaked by,
13-12. Albany answered the loss
by beating up on Skidmore, 14-3.

“‘The difference between
Albany and Skidmore is the same
difference between RIT and
Albany,” said Priore. “If we
model our program after a team
like RIT and get a couple of good
recruiting years, in a few years we
can be at the same level.”

Dave Cerny has sparked the
Danes’ offense since Albany’s
return from ‘gator country’ by
totalling 18 points on 11 goals and
seven assists in the last three
games. Rich Spadaro, Tim Vottis,
Ron Heffernan, and Tom
Cegileski each have scored four
goals over that span, with Sadaro
adding four assists and Vottis ad-
ding three. Jason Hurley has
scored six points on three goals
and three assists, while Pete
Betschart has allowed 25 goals
and stopped 36 of 72 shots in goal
for Albany.

Only three teams are ranked
higher than RIT in Division III,
and the Danes are unfortunate
enough to have to. play one of

were really outsticking us,” said
Priore.”’ Their program is at an
entirely different level than ours.
A team like that, we have to hope
they they come in here flat, and

they weren’t.’’

The Tigers didn’t waste any
time demonstrating the difference
in their programs, as the Danes
failed to have a sustained posses-
sion until late in the first quarter.

“We needed to get a lead early
in order to have a shot at beating
them,”’ said Priore.

That lead never materialized,
and the first-year coach quickly
was in a situation that he’d just as

soon not have to be in: what to
say at halftime on the short side
of a lop-sided score.

“I told the team that no matter
what happened in the first half,
we were going to go into the the

Martilla, Fletcher spark Great Danes’ 2-1 weekend

By Cathy Errig
STAFF WRITER

Though it may appear that a baseball
team whose starting rotation includes their
centerfielder, and whose ace starter is a
key source of their offensive power is in
dire straits, the Albany State baseball
team’s utilizaton of such a lineup enabled
them to soundly defeat North Adams
State, 11-5 Thursday, and split a
doubleheader with Cortland, 5-4 and 8, on
Saturday.

“There is definitely a difference in at-
titude on this team from last year, ’’ said
senior righthander Chris Fletcher who pit-
ched a complete game against Cortland to
earn his third straigh win of the season.
“Nobody’s thinking about losing this
season, it’s like we’re the best team and
they have to beat us.”’

The Danes win over North Adams State,
a team that qualified for Division III semi-
final play last season, was awared to senior
Bob Martilla, who pitched the whole game
recording six strikeouts for his first col-
legiate victory. Martilla, who is normally a
center fielder walked seven and threw 155
pitches, but according to pitching coach
Denny Elkin, was never in serious trouble.

“‘Bob was outstanding in his first start,
he was never really in any trouble. He’s a
guy with a tremendous amount of con-
fidence, no matter what position yhou put
him in he’g got the confidence to handle it,
if not the shill,”’ said Elkin.

Martill’s effort was supplemented by the
Danes’ offense, which erupted for 10 hits.
Center fielder Fred Soccocio drove in

three, shortstop Dave Theleman drove in
two, and’ both Theleman and third
baseman Howard Hammond had two hits
each.

Against Cortland, the Danes started
seniors Fletcher and Bob Tobias, the same
combination that enabled Albany to sweep
a doubleheader against Binghamton, giv-
ing them a 2-0 conference record. In the
first game, the Danes were’ on the
scoreboard first, when in the fourth inning
second baseman Bob Petterson singled,
moved to second on Hammond’s single,
moved to third on Theleman’s walk, and
scored on Fletchers sacrifice fly. The
Danes added another run in the sixth when
Petterson reached base on a walk, moved
to second on Hammond’s sacrifice bunt,
and scored on Saccocio’s double.

In the top of the seventh, however, the
Red Dragons scored four on four hits and
a walk. The Danes came back to score
three in the bottom of the inning to win the
game.

“It was a very exciting game,”’ said head
coach Ed Zaloom. ‘‘Winning the game like
that in the bottom of the inning. We
scored three runs and I aged three years,””

Missing in the second game from the
Danes’ play was the offensive punch that
has been critical to their success.

“J hate to use this term,’’ said Fletcher,
“but we were flat in the second game. I
think we wore ourselves out in the first
game, we made mistakes right and left.’’

The Danes’ lone run was scored in the
sixth, when leftfielder Joe Pirrecca reach-
ed first on an error, moved to scond on DH

Craig Wallace’s single, reached third on
Jim Ross’ single, and scored on Petter-
son’s sacrifice fly.

“Bob, (Tobias), threw very well, he had
bad luck in the infield. Our defense was
bad,”’ said Elkin. ‘‘Overall, though he pit-
ched outstanding, he had good control,
mixed his pitches well and no one really hit
him hard.”’

“I feel that I’m pitching better than last
year, I’m pitching rather than just throw-
ing the ball,”’ said Tobias.

conference play, will face cross-town rival
Union today, then travel to Binghamton
Thursday and Cortland Saturday for
