Report claims bachelor’s degree losing value

Washington, D.C,
(AP) Colleges have become supermarkets

bachelor’s degree isn't worth’ much
anymore:

That is the verdict a panel of scholars
rendered Sunday in a major critique of
America’s colleges and universities.

“As for what passes as a collee cur-
riculum, almost anything does," said the
report released by the Association of
American Colleges. ‘'We have reached a
point at which we are more confident
about the length of a college education
than its content and purpose.’*

The 18-member task force blamed pro-
fessors who place a higher premium on
research and their own advancement than
‘on teaching. It also said that relaxed en-
trance requirements had contributed “to
the confusions that beset’? campuses.

The project was to redefine the meaning

Visitor jailed after attempted theft

The.attempted robbery of over $250 worth of
jewelry from a State Quad dorm room last Satur-
day night has landed a weekend visitor in an
Albany jail.

charges for the robbery of four rings, said

‘According to Siegel, ttley had come over to si

Party. When they first came. in, said Siegel,
Smith, who was already intoxicated, asked if he
could go into the room to turn the music louder.
“Before 1 could answer he was already in my

“He looked very suspicious and from right
then I knew he was up to something," Siegel
said.

Smith then entered the room a second time and

retense of increasing the volume of the music,

Siegel explained.

‘By this time I knew he bad taken something

Siogel said she then asked him to: empty his

Worldwide
Mandela rejects offer

Soweto, South Africa
(AP) Nelson Mandela, the black rights
leader who has been jailed for 21 years,
has defiantly rejected the white-ruled
regime’s conditional offer of freedom
and demanded an end to its racial
segregation policy.

Zinzi Mandela, 24, announced her
father's response to the offer Sunday at
a rally attended by about 10,000 people
of all races in Soweto, the huge
segregated black township outside
Johannesburg. She said her father gave
the statement to her mother, Winnie, on
Friday when Mrs. Mandela visited him
at Pollsmoor prison near Capetown.

President Pieter W. Botha told
Parliament last month that Mandela
and others jailed with him could go free
if they renounced violence as a tool to
end apartheid, the government's legal
policy of racial seperation,

But Mandela, who was president of
the outlawed anti-apartheid African Na-
tional Congress when he was arrested,
said he could not accept freedom while
the congress remained banned and
unable to take part in the debate on the
nation’s future.

MIA’s to come home

Barigkok, Thailand
(AP) The Vietnamese government will
turn over to the United States the re-

Americans listed as missing in action in
the Vietnam War, reliable sources

The United States has said that
substantial progress and cooperation in
resolving the MIA issue is a condition
for establishing diplomatic relations
with Vietnam,

Vietnamese authorities who deal with
MIAS told their U.S, counterparts at a
quarterly meeting in Hanoi last week
that they would hand over the remains
of the Americans but they did not tix a

Any remains will be flown to the

Budget and staff cut

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Reagan administration, which
‘once boasted that its ‘‘junkyard dog"
inspectors general saved nearly $6
billion in a six-month period, proposes
to save a fraction of that by cutting their
budgets and staffs,

With the exception of the Defense
Department, the budget submitted by
President Reagan last week calls for the
inspectors general in each of the major
federal agencies to spend less in fiscal
1986 than they did this year.

Leak harms wildlife

Island Park, N.Y.
(AP) About 100,000 gallons of home
heating oil leaked from a Long Island
Lighting Co. oil storage tank into a
marsh area on the south shore of the
island, threatening wildlife and setting
off an all-night clean-up effort, Coast
Guard officials said.

‘The leak was circled with a contain-
ment boom and the tank was secured
around 3am, Monday, said Loren
Bulard, a Coast Gurad spokesman,
Three contractors hired by LILCO went
to work cleaning up the oil, he said.

Coast Gurad Lt. Peter Blaisdell called
the major spill a direct threat to fish and
wildlife living in hundreds of acres of
surrounding salt marsh.

“The whole area is basically a salt
marsh, a recreation area and a breeding
ground for birds and fish," said

Rothenberg offers his personal
perspectives on homosexuality

By Andrea Corson
STAFF WRITER «
“Homosexuals are ‘finally coming out of the
closet," was one of the many remarks made at a
workshop given Monday night in the Assembly Hall
by David Rothenberg, an advocate of human rights

for gays and lesbit

“There is nothitig wrong’ with reality,’
Rothenberg; who told an audience of about 50 peo-
ple his personal perspective on homophobia ‘and
how he himself finally came out of the closet.

“At age four I knew I was gay,” said
Rothenberg. Aftr’ his realization of being a
homosexual he said he had to begin to lie to
‘everyone that matiered and that he continued lying
for the next 40 years of his life.

“Thirty. years ago,’ Rothenberg said, speaking
as part of Sexuality Week, ‘I made a life choice not
to.ruy ublig, office because 1 was gay, but.now .
n rat or big orton office as an open gay

along side of you?””
Rothenberg said that when he told his family,
they didn’t change their minds about him, rather
they “had to change their minds about what they
thought was gay," he said. He also said he does not
want people to accept the myth that ‘gays coming
out of the closet has weakened the American fami-
ly," because if “anything, it has made~ them
stronger,” he said,

Another myth Rothenberg addressed was the
idea that gays ‘‘can tell each other on sight,"” which
hie thought to be ridiculous, because, he said, that if
hhe were to tap everyone in the audience on the
shoulder whom he thought to be gay. ‘every
straight person would go into a panic."” Rothenberg
added that he “identified with Jackie Robinson
becatise he was an outsider too.

Probe unearths 125. violators of Grouper Law

By Jacqueline Clark
STARE Wi

The City of Albany’s Code Enforcement
Bureau has discovered 125 separate cases
of “Grouper Law’? Violations in the Pine
Hills area, said active director for Code
Enforcement Mike Alvaro.

‘Canvassing daone by the bureau di
the fall has served to show ‘‘how broad of
a problem’” the zoning ordinance violation
in Albany is, said Alvaro, The Bureau, hé
said, now has ‘‘a substantial list of proper-
ties"? in which there is obviously ‘strong
evidence’ of violations.

Alvaro said that he was.not_ready to
disclose specific details of the recently
compiled data, He did say, however, that
the canvassing of 1,700 apartments was
about *65 percent accurate’, and that the
number of violations in the Pine Hills area
would probably be closer to 165.

With the new. list, Alvaro said the
bureau was ‘* ready to act upon an o.k,
from the mayor.”” This action would be
directed at landlords, said Alvaro, ‘most
likely" in the form of fines. ‘If landlords
plan to ignore our pleas for compliance,
we're going to hit them where it hurts
worst - in the pocketbook." Alvaro said it

was a question of makina lnnidlords
“understand the law’? and obey it,

The fines are based on “commission of
the offense’ said Alvaro, requiring a
‘correction of the problem.’ “Each day
after the original conviction constitutes a-
separate offense", he addedz-Alvaro said,
however, that the ordinance would have to
be complied with by the new lease date. In
respect to students living in this housing,
Alvaro said that “It is not a.condition
{that landlords} keep them."”
e're doing everything in our power
not to infringe anything on the kids," said
Alvaro, adding that.“'We have requested
they not be removed."”: “They are: our
witnesses," he explained.

Mark Mishler,.$.A. Attorney, said that
action by the city against students living in
violation of the Grouper Law ‘‘could be a
possibility and has been threatened,
although it hasn't happened.” Mishler
said that students do have some rights in
these cases, ‘If a landlord knew about the
extra people and if the extra people end up
being kicked out, they may have good
reason for a lawsuit,"*

Mishler said that tenants have a right to

live according to agreements made. ‘If
landlord breeches that agreement,"” said
Mishler, students should be “compensated
for damages incurred.'' Mishler gave mov-
ing expenses and extra rent due to loss of
‘one tenant as examples of damages.

Alvaro said he believed many students
“came to the city not knowing the law’,
adding ‘It’s not their fault.” He also said
that the conviction of landlords was “out
of the kids hands" and asked: students to
cooperate,

“No one is denying SUNYA students’
importance in Revenue to the City. The C
ty owes a lot of thanks to the institution,
said. Alvaro, adding that the Bureau had
an ‘obligation to our citizens"? and could
not ignore the problems in heavily student
populated areas such as overcrowding,

“Citizens are very supportive of the
crackdown’, said Alvaro, adding that the
Bureau often recieves anonymous letters
from citizens identifying’ houses with
“Grouper Law'” violations,

“We allowed it (the number of viola-
tions) to get out of hand", said Alvaro.
“It is our problem", he added, ‘and
SUNYA's responsibility.

International Film Group, ‘its. screens

once again bring classic films to the

IFG originally folded because, accor-

new chair, “Two people were literally do-

alone, So they finally decided if there
wasn’t that much interest it was time to
end it.'” She’ added that her intent is to
return the IFG to its original purpose - that
of “showing the best films of the past.’”

‘The groups reemergence was made
possible by a $2,000 University Auxilary
Services grant, DeMarco said.

She said she did not know if the group
would be applying for Student Association
funding for next year. ‘I'm not sure, we
really need to see what kind of interest
there is,’ she explained.

The group plans to show some of the
“classic American and foreign films of the
twenties, thirties, and fourties,"” said Jim
Fulton, one of the new members, ‘a
period that was full of invention,
fascinating stars, and just good film

or, like shadows and lighting."”

The films [FG is showing are ones which
students normally wouldn't have access to
on campus or in the community. As IFG is
not a commercial venture, DeMarco cited
the need for “people who are sincerely in-
terested in film. We'd like this to become a
film society in the truest sense of the
word.”

One of the problems faced by the
original IFG was a shortage of projectors.
‘DeMarco said that the group is using three
of the four original projectors, with parts
being taken from the fourth to fix. the

other three.

‘Asked what leads them to think the
‘group will once again be a successful cam-
pus ofganization, DeMarco replied, “You
may have seen some of these films on
television, but there is always more to ex-
perience when you see it uncut, with good
sound and good, clear prints,”” Fulton ad-
ded, ‘The films stand on their own today.
They are not moldy. oldies,"”

‘The selection of films to be shown is
“quite diverse,” according to DeMarco, *
She said that a variety of pictures ‘offers
the modern moviegoer a chance to build
on their foundation of film.’

The opening films, Dracula and
Frankenstein, are the two films which
established the American Horror tradi-
tion. Their financial and artistic successes
launched the careers of Bela Lugosi and
Borls Karloff, who created the prototypes
of the vampire and the monster which con-
tinue to haunt the screen to this day.

Ethiopian native stresses need for extensive aid

By Michelle Busher.
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Famine relief in Ethiopia must be tied to
a long term developmental program: in
order to be successful according to:native
Ethiopian Alem Habtu,, Director » of
African Stndies and Research at Queens
College, who spoke on campus Monday
night.

Although the lecture, sponsored by
Students Opposing Poverty (STOP) and
Speakers Forum, only attracted about 20
people, Habtu said he is ‘impressed by the
concern the present generation of students
has shown.” He said, “Although my suit
does not show it, I was a member of the
Flower Generation," and have always ad-
vocated peace,

He attributed the Ethiopian dilemma
not only:to ecological factors, but also to
political and social concerns.

‘At present, said Habtu, ‘the U.S.
Government provides no’ aid to Ethiopia
and By law it is not allowed to,” expliinidg
that this is due to a dispute between the

“two countries.

“The. country {Ethiopia] has been in a
state of civil war for the last 10 to 15
years,” said Habtu, adding, “the state
now has greater control than ever."*

‘When the military decided to nationalize
industries in Ethiopia, the United States
declared that Ethiopia had' to reimburse
companies whose holdings were. taken
over, he said.

“The dispute,”” explained Habtu, “is
cover what the actual figure is, The United
States claims Ethiopia owes $30 million
and Ethiopia claims the amount is $11
million."

\sWhile the two countries are politically
antagonistic, millions of peasants are in

need of aid,” said Habtu.

“1 don't know what the way out is,"” he
said, ‘there was hope in the Carter and
Reagan administrations that the present
government will be overthrown.’

Habtu said he thinks the assumption is
unrealistic and that Ethiopians’ problems
are not resolvable, without some action
from the United Nations. However, “This
should not be,an area of superpower com-
petition,”” stated Habru.

“Hundreds\of millions of dollars are
needed. in. aid,'*. he said, andthe $30
million or $11 million that is being haggled
over is miniscule in comparison, he stated.
“There isa limitation to what we, as in-
dividuals in'small groups, can do. For long
term reéults,. we need to influence public
policy,"” said Habtu,

Referring to a bill in. Congress that
would allocate funds for emergency aid in

Helping hand extended to job seeking seniors

By Lynn Amitrano

Seniors wondering how to
tackle the ‘real’ world out there,
or looking to reinforce their job
seeking skills may find help at the
University's Career Development
Center.

‘According to the center's new
director, Dr. Gardy Van Soest,
three specific programs are cur-
rently being offered, and more
are being planned for the future
as resources allow.

‘The first of the programs of-
fered is an orientation session to
give students an idea of what the
center has to offer, Amy Ander-
son, the staff's graduate assistant
in charge of the orientation pro-
gram said that ‘live help is better
than handouts, even though by
necessity mostly routine facts are
given’ at the session.

“We just give a brief overview
of what the center is all about,”
added Van Soest,

About 600 students have
already been through orientation,
Van Soest said, and each was
given a file card and recommen-
dation forms in order to start a
reference file for prospective
employers or graduate schools,
The files, he said, can include
reference letters, an unofficial
copy of a student's transcript,and
a resume.

Generally, Van Soest said, per-
sons interested in education,
social welfare, or health care are
strongly recommended to begin
reference files, while it is tess im-
portant for students looking for
careers in business or technical
fields.

Students also learn about the

center's library, which, Van Soest
said, contains job guides, files
and diréctories, and information
about the. Computerized | Job
Matching Service which stores
listings of available positions
from across the state and the
country.

After orientation, a resume
writing workshop is available at
which the basic organization and
information of a resume is
discussed, as well as cover letters,
Van Soest said. In’ addi

students with rough drafts of |

their resumes can bring them to
the workshop for critiques, sug-
gestions, and general comments,

Finally, the center offers a
videotape which takes viewers
through the campus interview
process. Van Soest noted that it
was in these interviews that pro-
spective employers and graduate
schools decide who they would
like to speak with again and who
they were not particularly im-
pressed with,

“If you know how to package
yourself and sell yourself you're

A recently released report by the Independent
Commission of the Future of the State University
of New York has concluded’ that many im-
provements are needed in the management of the
SUNY system to secure SUNY's place among
top-notch publio universities.

The report was released January 16 and
reflected a year of study by the Independent
Commission on the Future of SUNY.

‘Among the recommendations cited was the
restructuring of SUNY as a public benefit cor-
poration. This would allow greater independence
from the legislature and state agencies so SUNY
could manage its own affairs and finances.

The Commission found the SUNY system to
be “‘the most overregulated in the nation."* The
report also stated, ‘we have explored other alter-

. natives, but believe that: this form of authority
provides the most feasible way to give SUNY’s
Board of, ‘Trustees, Chancellor and  state-
appointed campuses the responsibilities that the
university requires and that public universities of
other states get."”

Reactions from the State Legislature showed
eagerness to act on the recommendations.of the
Committee. Assemblymember Mark Alan Siege!
(D-Manhattan), chair of the Assembly Higher
Education Committee said, ‘this report sheds
lights on a long-standing problem — the threat to

| SUNY's quality imposed by excessive control.

Siegel added that his goal was to have legislation
‘on Governor Mario Cuomo’s desk by Flag Day,
June 14, 1985.

Senator Kenneth Lavalle (R-Suffolk), chair of
the Senate Higher Education Committee, was a
bit more reserved and would not-commit himself
to immediate action. “I am confident that we can.
strike a balance through appropriate stature
amendments,” he said. Lavalle also commented
that it is too early to say when legislation
be approved or what specific form it would take.

‘The report also encourages the recruitment of
minority high school students and efforts to in-
terest undergraduate minority students in
‘graduate studies. A need to strengthen the func-
tions of research and graduate and professional
education was also cited.

Both Siegel and Lavalle agreed that the SUNY
system needed more alumni to project a better
image of the system across the country.
‘Academically, we have a gem,” said Lavalle,
“but its lustre is not now gleaming throughout
the nation as it should be."”

A series of public hearings will be held by
Lavalle and Siegel within the next few weeks to
explore the recommendations of the Commis-
sion, One of these hearings will be held in Albany
at the Legislature Tuesday, at the Legislative Of-
fice Building featuring SUNY Chancellor Clif-
ford Wharton and Commission Co-chair Ralph
Davidson.

“We want to act this year to free the Universi-

said Schaffer, who said that
under current guidelines students
may have someone present to ad-
vise them, but no one may speak
on their behalf,

The guidelines for due process
have also been criticized by SA at-
torney Mark Mishler. In a
‘memorandum sent to the Review
committee in November, Mishler
maintained that the “University
does comply with the minimum
level of due process which” has
been required by the, courts,”
but, he added ‘why not provide
greater protection to. students
than. the minimum required by
law?"

The disciplinary guidelines
have not undergone a thorough
examination since its inception in
1967, said Pogue. The policy has
been approved yearly by the
Judicial Review Committee, but

no comprehensive review.

“The university and students
have changed’ over the years,
said Pogue, which makes it
necessary to update the policy.

Cafeteria fern stolen

The six-and-one-half foot decorative
fern from the Campus Center Cafeteria
has been missing since last Tuesday morn-
ing, according to Lester Hynes, Director
‘of Cash Sales for University Auxiliary Ser-
vices (UAS).

He said the plant was worth $350 and
was probably taken the night of February
11 after the cafeteria was closed at 4:00
p.m, Hynes hopes that ‘‘someone may see
it and return it to UAS,” although he said
the plant may have died in the sub-zero
weather of that night.

“All of these things (thefts and van-
dalisin) add up in the price of the food,”
Hynes commented. He asked that anyone

Student lobbyists find ‘21’ a rewarding issue

By Pam's Schusterman
STAFF

Forty SUNYA students made.
their way down to the New York
State Capitol last Tuesday to
begin the first of four successive
lobbying sessions against the pro-
Boxe raise in the drinking age to

ern possibility of the drinking
age issue coming to the floor this
term, is very great,'’ said Steve
Gawley, member of the Student
Association of the State Universi-
ty (SASU) Board of Directors and
Student Action Committee chair
at SUNYA. “' knocked it
down last year,” he explained,
but this year may be tougher.

Atcording to Gawley, Federal
legislation which will deny
highway project funding to states
who do not have a 21 year old
drinking age by October of 1986
is a big factor in the issue.

“This act of federal blackmail
is the basis of many misconcep-
tions pertaining to the alleged
urgency of raising the state’s pre-
sent legal drinking age.’” He ex-
plained that the legislators base
their judgements on the fact that
New York State stands to lose $90:
million in federal highway funds,

However, Gawley and other
SASU and SA members have
gathered research support from a
wide variety of sources ranging
from “Stop 21"' Committee of
Madison, Wisconsin, to the
Lieutenant Governor's Office in
‘Austin, Texas.

SASU’s arguments, according.
to Gawley, are based on raw data
which show that the rise to a nine-
pest year old driaking

reduce driving fatalities among

. eighteen year olds.

‘Also, he said, the money lost
from closing down liquor stores
and the decrease.in liquor sales
and related jobs may surpass the
federal highway income loss.
“This loss is a continuous loss,"*
said Gawley, adding, ‘it doesn’t
end after two years as does the
highway. cut.” i

main crux of our argu-
ment,’*” said: Gawley, ‘tis. that
education is the key to reducing
fatalities and that is what we are
proposing.”

However, on the other side of
the issue, he said, are the benefits

that increasing the drinking age
will reduce drinking-and driving
fatalities and reduce the number
of minors coming illegally into
New York to. purchase liquor.
“But these statements are often
based on one sided data," Gawley
said.

“Raising the drinking age is an

lution: to a difficult pro-
Gawley. If the drink:

ing age is raised, he said, the
legislature will feel as if they've
done something against the pro-
lem. but. “in actuality it is not

proven that this will reduce
fatalities,"" Gawley said.

“SASU feels very strongly
about saving lives of the eighteen
year Old..target. group,” said
Gawley, ‘fatality is our issue.”

‘With these’ arguments. and raw
statistics the lobbyers met With 42
senators, legislators, and
assembly members. ‘'From
meeting with legislators I'ye
found them to be more open-
minded than I anticipated,”’ said
Michael Solomon, Central Coun-
cil member and Lobby Leader,

“All the statistics that they
[legislators] have seen are very
one-sided,” he said, ‘and. they
‘were anxious to hear our side and
imake a fair judgement.”

Supporting this opeti-minded *

attitude, Assembleyman Armand
D'Amato from Baldwin, Long
Island, said, “I haven’t taken any
definite position yet, 1 cannot
commit myself until | know more
about it.’”
‘Overall,"’ said Gawley,
from. the people we have lob-
bied we have not seen a foregone
conclusion on the decision, a lot
of mutual respect was felt at the
capitol”?

However, according to’ Larry

Profs urge immediate action against acid rain

By Carrie E. Diamond

The time has come, according to SUNYA pro-
fessors Donald Reeb and Roman Hedges, to take
action on the serious and well-recognized problem
on acid rain:

Reeb, an'Economics professor who was involved
ina year long study for the State Department of En-
viornmental Conservation concerning the costs and
benefits of acid rain legislation, believes it is time
that something be done.

He stated that scientists dre trying to devise alter-
native technologies to the ones’already suggested,
but while ‘it may be that thesé are better, we don’t
have time to find out.”

It is generally believed that acid rain is caused by
the combination of precipitation and emissions of
sulfur and nitrogen substances from factories and
automobiles; Acid rain has destroyed several lakes
and rivers, and will continue to do'so until definite
steps are taken to control it, various studies have
shown,

New York State is the current leader in acid rain
legislation, according to John McCardle, press
secretary for State Senator John Dunne (R-Garden
City). Last year, a bill was signed by Governor
Mario Cuomo that calls for a reduction of sulfur
‘emissions within an eight to ten year period.

What the bill specifically accomplishes, actor-
ding to McCardle, is it divides New York into

tion is expected, while in 1990 the total thirty per-
cent’ reduction is expected.

No specific guidelines or regulations have been
laid out as to how the reduction is to take place.
“We're willing to do somethig here in New York,”
claims McCardle. He added that He hopes that this
will trigger other, states:to act, “3?

Reeb, on the other-hand, doesn’t think that a.
thirty percent reduction is enough. He said that
reasonably reliable studies have shown that a fifty

‘Asserting that a’ federal Tegislation has to occur ie
order to control the problem, Reb said that a great
percentage of acid rain comes from fifty.major..
Power plants in the midwest, known as the “Big
Fifty.”

“There are ways to drastically reduce the amount
of sulfur emitted from them, but they are very ex-
pensive, and, said Reeb, ‘‘the utilities do not want
to do this unless they are compensated. The only
‘way to compensate them is to apply an electrical
tax.!”

He claimed that the Reagan administration will
not propose this, but said that he does not ktiow

directed it, This is a Peter Weir film, and he

There are several stories weaving
through Witness, and each receives plenty
of attention, A young Amish boy visiting
Philadelphia for the first time witnesses the
murder of an undercover narcotics cop.
Enter John Book (Harrison Ford) as the
detective on the case, When Book
discovers too muich, he seeks refuge with
the boy's fecenlly widows ed mother in the
ageless. Amish town of Lancaster

Weir spends much time

and. the
mother, As the characters. interact more
closely, screenwriters Earl Wallace and
William Kelley throw in more emotional
obstacles, Some of these twists are quite
humorous. as modern day Ford attempts to

blend seamlessly into a foreign society.

Weir is a director with a knack for mak:
ing something, visually stimulating out of
the most:mundane of situations. Anyone
who saw his previous picture, The Year of
Living Dangerously, knows. this, In
Witness Weir manages to turn the cliche of
4 man watching, a woman cleanse herself
from an oikdlly erotic sequence into one
which.proves erticial to the conclusion.

To fully anderstand the manner in
which a talented director can take advan-

tage of film as an art form, Weir serves up
the run of the mill “kid tingers the suspect”
scene, “Seen it before,” you say? Maybe,
but this is a Peter Weir film. The
photograph of the suspect isn’t in/a mug
book, the boy doesn’t scream his head off,
Ford doesn't jump up and down like an
idiot. Here, the boy sees the man, reacts in
a quietly flabbergasted manner, and looks
to an occupied Ford who eventually cat
ches his glance. All of the action is shot
slowly, but not in slow motion per se.
Harrison Ford demonstrates he is a star
to be réckoned with. He is intelligent, per-
sistant, funny, and touching, Nary a trace
Of Indiana Jones or Han Solo is to be found,
He portrays the befuddled Philly cop sym
pathetically, and truly earns the sympathy
he receives. The only tid bit of Ford's
screen past arrives in the form of humor, as
his sardonic wit and cheezy smile recall the
common elements of his roguish heroes,
Kelly McGillis plays Ford's. protectd

which allows her to shine in even the mast

“Everyone remembers the lesson learned

from the dark alcove to the incinerator

“1 did, Tom, and I think | know the guy

Lesson in values

There's a sociology professor here whose lectures
lare often applauded by his students. Seniors who
took his intro course in the first semester of their
freshman year can still recall many of his lectures.
IStudents who aren't even enrolled in his courses
have actually been known to attend his classes in
their spare time. Imagine if most of our professors
Iwere this good, made their lectures this fascinating,
lor made their lessons that memorable...
It would certainly be a far cry from the education
we're getting right now. Most of our professors:
here were hired for their impressive backgrounds}
in research or the long list of books and articles|
they've had published.
Teaching ability is all but forgotten as our
prestige conscious administrators seek out the ap-
plicant whose research will bring the most notoriety
to @ particular department. But the administrators
who hire our faculty don’t have to sit in a classroom:
with a professor whe makes it clear that teaching is
jjust_an annoying interruption that comes in the
middle of a good day of research.
This University’s reseach oriented hiring and
tenuring policy has been weakening the value of its
undergrad program for years. Despite sharp
criticism from faculty and students alike, numerous
professors with excellent teaching skills whose
[classes have been jammed with eager students, have
‘been let go, all because of an inflexible policy that
makes research the number one qualification for
being a teacher. :

‘Until now, the administration has completely ig-
nored complaints about poor quality classroom in-
struction, but on Sunday a national panel of
educators released a report attacking colleges for
offering inadequate curriculums and lousy
teachers.**, . .We are more confident of the length
of a college education than its content and pur-
pose,” the report said.

Sadly, many undergrads probably feel the same
way. Perhaps its time for the administration to do
some research on that.

Ironic charity

Most of us with on campus meal plans will forego
the ‘succulent’ braised liver dinners UAS is serv-
ing Wednesday night. Instead, we'll gorge ourselves
lon pizza, go out for dinner, or in the case of one
ldorm, hold a special dorm dinner. All this will be
ldone in the name of Ethiopian hunger.

For every student that signs up to skip dinner
tomorrow night, UAS will give $1.50 to help relieve
famine in Ethiopia. This is a simple, praiseworthy
means of involving a lot of students in a worthy
cause. It requires no time commitment from us, and
it doesn't cost us anything.

But the plan has an unfortunate by-product: it’s
been made so easy for us to participate, that the
purpose has taken a sideline to the event. The event
seems to have accidentally turned into an excuse to
break the monotony of UAS meals and enjoy a
special dinner elsewhere; a dinner that will most
likely cost more than the $1.50 UAS will be
donating for your (sacrificed) meal.

We could resolve this ironic situation by suffering
through braised liver tomorrow night and giving the
money we would have spent on pizza or dinner out
to Ethiopian relief, but chances are we'll never get
around to actually making that donation, and
Janyway, braised liver is disgusting. We could skip
the UAS dinner and fast, but why starve just
because Ethiopians are?

The $1.50 per student that UAS is donating will
add up to several thousand dollars for Ethiopian
relief, For some of us, the knowledge that we
helped a good cause by eating dinner elsewhere will
be enough, and bears no further thought, UAS and
the students who organized the program are asking
no more of us.

But just as the meal eaten after the funeral isn’t
eaten with the same pleasure as the meal served at a
party (even though it may be the same exact food,)
maybe tomorrow night isn't the night to indulge
ourselves in an evening out with lots of food and
fun, A quiet meal ordered in the dorms might be
more appropriate, Let's c a little with the
absurdity of our prosperity in the face of another
country's starvation. Maybe that pizza we order
won't taste very good if, as we're eating it, wel
remember we ordered it in the name of Ethiopian!

hunger.

SUNY and the

“New York State runs its University like it runs its
isons" — W., Clarke Wescoe, former Chancellor of the

This statement was included in a recently released 78
pg. report entitled, "The Challenge and Choice,
prehensive ‘Examination of the Operations and Con-
figurization of the 64 Campus, 370,000 Student Universi-
y.”" This report is crucial to the future of SUNY and
whether you're aware of it or not, it affects all of us.

Jason J. Friedman

‘Challenge and Choice"? was prepared by the Commis-
sion on the Future of the State University, which was
established in February 1984 at the request of SUNY
Chancellor Clifton B. Wharton, Jr. Co-chaired by Ralph
P. Davidson, Chairman of the Board of Time, Inc. and
Dr. Harold Enarson, President Emeritus of Ohio State
University, the commission included leaders with ex-
perience in government, business, labor and education.
Much time, money, and research went into the final
report.

What did the report say? While it does mention
SUNY's accomplishments since its birth 25 years ago, the
main conclusion is made very clear: SUNY needs help.
This might sound crazy, but as { read the report { couldn’t
help but think of the New York Mets, I realized that
SUNY and the Mets have much in common, (Give me a
chance on this one.)

The report found that SUNY is the most over-
regulated, inflexible, and under-utilized University
system in the nation. This is not because of those who
teach, administer, and work for SUNY. Rather it is
because SUNY has been denied the administrative flex-
ibility and decision-making authority it needs to become a
great University.

Why? The bottom line is that the state does not trust
SUNY (o manage itself, By law the Board of Trustees and
campus Presidents are supposed to have authority over
the fundamental day-by-day operation of SUNY. This
just does not happen and the result has been disastrous,
The trustees and campus Presidents lack the esse
authority needed to decide crucial issues like how and
where state money is spent, the creation of University
positions, salaries, size of staffs, etc.

Unlike other great public University systems such as
those in California, Michigan, Wisconsis, and Min-
nesota, SUNY operates under the same system of accoun-
tability and restrictions of other state agencies, like the
Department of Motor Vehicles, for example. Well-

entioned as it was, it has become painfully clear that
this is not the way (o run a university. Over-regulation
and red tape has impeded SUNY's "Paramount Publi
Purposes — Quality education, Service, and Research.

Interestingly enough, running SUNY is somewhat like
running @ baseball team, You never have a winning team
when the owner calls all the shots, What does he know
about winning? Does he work out with the team and sit
on the bench? In the late 70's, M. Donald Grant ran the
Mets into the ground: he traded away key players, and
didn’t appreciate the talent he had, Grant didn’t know
how to win, so the Mets became a joke, and we Met fans
took a lot of abuse.

But as most of us know, there was a happy ending to
this story and a moral that the state should pay attention
to. If you want to win, let the people who know how to
win do their jobs. When Nelson Doubleday bought the
Mets he hired the best to do their job, win, He brought a
sense of purpose, pride and responsibility to his organiza-
tion all tied in with a specific goal for the future. The
Mets competed for the best talent, coaching staff, and
rewarded their star players.

The state can learn from this example, and I don’t
think I'm stretching the analogy too far. The report
found that SUNY’s research and graduate programs,
with some noted exceptions, are well behind that of other
leading public universities in other states and leading
universities. in New York, as well. ‘The bureaucracy
hinders attempts to recruit and maintain top faculty and
administrators, change the curriculum, and to secure
research funding.

‘The above just skims the surface of the problems that
plague SUNY. In the larger context, the commission
stressed that New York's need for a state university
system that can serve “In full partnership with the in-
dependent sector and CUNY, as a magnet for industry
and a force for community and economic development.”

In short, a beleaguered system can affect the future of
New York state: a weakened tax base, less steam in the
state’s economy and lost opportunity to stem
from New York. SUNY can play a crucial leadership role
in the economic and technological development-of.N:Y.,
but we must be given the freedom to define that role and
our goals for the fuiure. So, how do we climb out of se-
cond place into first? We give the people who know how
to win the means to win. The commission proposed that
legislation should be enacted to establish the university as
a Public Benefit Corporation. Basically, SUNY’s
trustees, SUNY-Central, and campus Presidents would
have the authority to manage its budget, academic and
personnel affairs free of the red tape and restrictions cur-
rently imposed by state law. ‘The commission was em-
phatic in stating that only by ‘this means will there be
continued improvement in SUNY's teaching, research,
and community service."*

This is all fine you might say, but what about now, and
what can this mean for those who care about the quality
of our education?

‘The report notes the significant success of Albany in at-
tracting the brightest undergraduates to its campus, with
freshman SAT scores rivaling those of the most selective
colleges and universities in the nation. Also, Albany is on
the way to national recognition in graduate programs
such as atmospheric science, creative writing, and public
policy studies, Moreover, Albany's funding per faculty
member is the second highest among SUNY's 64
campuses.

But we are unfulfilled in many areas. The Association’
of Research Libraries put the libraries at Stony Brook and
Albany in the bottom quarter of their stuily. And while
we can agree with Dr. Frank Pogue who told me that
“Rarely is a whole university ranked equallly across the
board for all its disciplines,”” we have our weak spots and
we know where they are.

But let’s make one thing clear: 1 never said you cannot
get a quality education at SUNY Albany, and ultimately
this is why I was prompted to write in the first place. Talk
about an all-star team! I could rattle off a list of names of
men and women who are recognized nationally and inter-
nationally for their work. We are indebted to the commit-
ment, dedication and scholarship they bring to the
classroom. If you don't actively, look for these people
then you've lost before you began

Finally, when I came to Albany in September 1981 1
demanded excellence, but I didn’t get it by sitting on my
butt, [actively pursued it, But we must do better. There is
no reason why SUNY cannot join the ranks of the
foremost public and independent universities of this na-
tion. To do this we must break free of the shockingly in-
appropriate restrictions which prevent us from taking
first place in our league, The pennant race has just
started, who's gonna run the club — the owner or the
team players?

Don't pass the guilt

To the Editor:

Isn't it too bad! In his State of the Union address Tues-
day night Ronald Reagan spoke out against abortion (as
was his right). The pity is in how he did it. He berated all
the women who chose abortion instead of giving their
children away to women who can’t conceive, Well.
without even mentioning the trials of 9 months labor,
etc., I ask — Why pass guilt? The truth is, there are
thousands of orphans here in the United States and they
will never have parentsibecause they are too old, or they
are handicapped, or they are the wrong color. Remember
the ad that ran in the personals last semester? A white
couple would like to buy a white baby, call such and such
number. Would you really give your child to a couple so
prejudiced? They weren't desperate to be parents — they
wanted to pick and choose their child. But really think
about all thost children out there. And remember that
some of them are there because their mothers opted to
carry them full term in hopes that someone would be able
to care for them although they could not.

—Stacey Kern

Catch the spirit

To the Editor:

‘One of the things that students often complain about is
the lack of spirit. Maybe one of the reasons is that people
don't put their money where their mouths are. In past
years, class dues were mandatory, but beginning with the
class of 1987, there were made optional. It hurt our class
and presumably the class of 1988 the most. Although the
classes of 1985 and 1986 lost money, they had a founda-
tion to build on, We don’t. More than two-thirds of the
class of 1987 has not paid their dues. How can any
organization such as ours promote worthwhile events if
we don’t have the money in our treasury. No.one seems to
think twice about spending money downtown any night
of the week or getting a pizza at night, but somehow peo-
ple balk at having to pay $3 each semester for dues.

money, here are some examples. The biggest reason is
Senior Week. The more money we have, the more we'll be
able to do, and the lower the costs will be. Also, we do
keep track of who pays and who doesn’t. If you don’t pay
by the end of senior year, you'll either have to pay back
dues or you won't be able to go. We know that’s two
years down the road, but as the saying goes: “You can
Pay us now, or you can pay us later.’ Pay now.!

The Council is working. We have ideas for semi-
formals, trips to Boston, jerseys, etc; but we need the
base before we can do anything. We have nothing to gain
from the class paying, the money goes right back to you.
Currently, we're offering trips to Florida and the
Bahamas, Any profit we make goes into the treasury, no
ong is going for free.

College is a great time so why not make the most of it
If you haven't paid yet, just do it. It’s not that big a deal
for each person but the money does add up.

Most importantly, go to Student Accounts, check if
you have paid you class dues. If not — Pay them! This is

The cost of rights

To the Editor:

1 feel compelled to answer Tom Gaveglia’s letter to the
Editor of 8 February 85. For those of you who missed his
letter, Mr. Gaveglia is against draft registration,

We live in a society that provides us with many rights
and benefits, and in return asks for money to help con-
tinue to provide these services. In times of war this society
has asked our young men to serve, and for many to die, in
our armed services. 1 myself see this as one of the costs of
living in this society. I feel that if 1 wish to live in this
society and enjoy its rights and benefits, then I must also
be willing to contribute something to it, I must be willing
to defend it,

It aggravates me that people are willing to live in this
society, enjoy its benefits and rights, but feel that they
should contribute nothing. It angers me that there are
people willing to take and take and yet contribute
nothing.

Those who are not willing to defend this country have
that right, however I think if they are going to make this
stand then they should stop being hypocrites and remove
themselves from this society. They should stop enjoying
the rights and benefits of the society that they are not will-
ing to defend.

Mr. Gaveglia, you and I choose to live in this society
and enjoy its rights and benefits, the only difference is
that I am a citizen soldier, a member of the US Army
Reserve, 1 am willing to support my country if the need
arises. I certainly could not continue to take from this
society if I were not willing to contribute to it. 1 feel that
supporting the common defense is the most important
contribution that needs to be made.

Mr. Gaveglia, like Thomas Jefferson said ‘1 may not
agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the
death your right to say it.”" This defense of your rights is a
benefit that you-enjoy at my expense, what are you will-
ing to do for me? Continuing to pay your taxes, if in fact
you pay taxes at all, at some point in the future will not be
enough. A society without a peace time draft cannot
make the transition from peace to war without
registration.

Going greek

To the Editor:

I would like to bring to everyone's attention something
which has the potential to change the social atmosphere
of SUNY Albany. I am referring to the recent explosion
of new fraternities on campus. Many new chapters of well
known national fraternities such as Zeta Beta Tau, Sigma
Alpha Mu, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and
other local fraternities have all started Albany chapters.
‘The significance of this should not be taken lightly.

All of these organizations are still in their infancy, yet
if they do succeed, as I hope they will, it will bring an ex-
citing new aspect to campus life. Not only will we have
more choices of parties, but a successful fraternity system
will also revive school spirit, and we can certainly use
more of that at SUNYA, Many of the fraternities will also
be involved with local charities and various community
service projects. Perhaps most important of all, incoming
SUNYA students will have a great way to make new
friends and become actively involved in campus life

As a recently pledged brother of the Zeta Beta Tau
fraternity, | am very enthusiastic about the emergence of

—Sonathan Newman

fraternities at SUNYA. I know that I speak for the rest of
my Zeta Beta Tau brothers in wishing the best of luck to
the other fraternities in the months ahead. We all have a
Jot of work cut out for us if we are to become a vital part
of campus life, but the groundwork has been laid and the
potential for success is there. We look forward to work-
ing with you all in the future as a way of furthering the
cause of fraternity life for all of us.

To the rest of the university community I would just

€ to say that you will be hearing a lot from Zeta Beta

Tau this semester. We will be working very hard to make

our fraternity a success, but we can’t do it without your

support, With your help, we can make fraternities a per-

manent and exciting new alternative in the social life of
SUNYA.

For the kids

To the Editor:

Telethon '85 would like to request the assistance of all
the offeampus students here at SUNYA.Once again we
are sponsoring a can drive to help raise money for ‘the
kids."* These children are from the Albany Boys Club and
the Drakeland Day Care Center; two very worthy
charities chosen after many hours of careful considera-
tion by the Telethon '85 staff,

We are simply asking you to save all those soda cans,
beer bottles, and any other redeemable containers and to
bring them to the Sayles Hall Ballroom ‘on Alumni Quad
between I and 4 p.m., Sunday, February 24. There will be
a grand prize of a basket of-cheer to those students who
collect the most returnables. Please help us and

Of mice and men

To the Editor:

‘What do you think of when you hear the words “mic
and “‘cockroaches""? I'm sure it’s not very pleasant. Well
can you believe there is a place on campus where you can
find both in great abundance? Would you believe that
ironically this place makes the workers wear hair nets and
gloves when working around food? Would you also
believe that you have to pay $1,013 to cat three meals a
day for the school year under’ these ‘clean’
conditions?

‘As a worker for the University Auxiliary Services, I'm
appalled at the conditions in the kitchen where I work.
Not two weeks ago we had a “mandatory crew meeting’
where a set of rules was laid down with strict conse-
quences if they were broken, Only approximately one-
third of the workers showed up. The very next week the
rules were being blatantly broken by a majority of the
workers. I find it thoroughly disgusting when people in
charge laugh off the rodent problem by saying that they
are only tiny field mice trying to stay warm. For the prices
we are paying for the food, I honestly believe I deserve a
cleaner environment for the preparation of my meals and
I'm sure my fellow students feel the same. I must say I'm
quite surprised that a corporate body as large as the
University Auxiliary Services would be so uncaring, un-
concerned and apparently willing to look the other way,
Each quad cafeteria is supposed to undergo “surprise”
inspections from the commissary regularly,
rather humorous that the people in charge in the kit
almost always know in advance of such inspections, or a
quick phone call from another quad forewarns of such a
Visit. I suggest they conduct completely unexpected,
thorough inspections, possibly even after a dinner meal
has ended. U.A.S. is the only food service offered to the
students.Despite their monopolistic position here at
SUNYA, I feel that under our meal contracts they are
obligated to serve us with much more quality and a great

deal more cleantiness,

‘Show Your Pride '85'’ is the slogan and $20,000
is the price tag in the Class of 1985's attempt to

" taige the money to leave'a gift to the University,

©The gift the class has picked is an electronic
‘message board, which would be used to advertise :
campus events and’ activities. The board will be
placed in the Lecture Center area at a cost of
$20,000. The money will constitute the highest
amount ever given to the University by a graduating
~ class, according to Dorina Friess Assistant Director
“of Development: in the Office of Research and
Development. ¥
The Seniot Class, the Office of Research and
Development; ‘and the Office of Alumni Affairs
have joined forces to begin what they hope will be
‘an annual event, she said.

prominence in the student community, they-will be
in charge, with the Office of Research and Develop-
ment providing backup support, said Friess, ‘It's
really a student campaign, but we're doing some of
the footwork for them,'? she added,

The Office of Research and Development will
provide printed brochures, dinners, and parties for
the volunteers as well as professional assistance and
training workshops, said Friess,

The project is intended to take place each year
from now on asserted Friess. The Class of '85 ‘tis
starting a University tradition,” she said.

“I think it’s going to catch on,” said Student
‘Association President Rich Schaffer, one of the co-
chairs. Each co-chair reports directly to a member
of the development staff. They will each recruit five
Senior Class Captains, who in turn will each recruit
five Senior Class Agents, who will do the actual
soliciting of the pledges, said Friess,

The members of the group will be trained in face-
to-face solicitation techniques, and then sent out in-
to the University community to solicit pledges from
their classmates, according to Friess. The drive will
begin in February and end in April and each agent
will be required to solicit pledges from eight or nine
classmates, she said,

Also in April, she added, will be a phone “clean
up,” during which all members of the senior-class
not contacted in person will be approached over the
phone.

‘The maximum amount’ asked for will be $100,
payable one year after -graduation. According to
Friess the average donation expected is ‘$85.

Incentive gifts will also be offered to students,
said Friess, For pledges of $100, a t-shirt, $85, a

‘as.

‘The drive is also intended to get students more in-
volved with the University. “This should be a shot
in the arm for school spirit,"* said Senior Class
President Jeff Schneider, who is also one of the
drive's co-chairs, “I'd like to see the senior class
present a pretty nice gift to the University," he
adued.

Plans for any future drives rest on the success of
this year’s drive. ‘As soon as people see an actu:
tangible thing...the next class will try to do better,
asserted Schaffer. ‘It has to be started. If it’s suc-
cessful then this will last as long as the Alumni
Association keeps it up," said co-chair Paul
Baldino.

‘The trenditoward’ student involvement is ex-
pected to be very beneficial to future drives.
‘Fraternities will make a big difference in the social

ity... This school needs something. What we're
doing is going to help a lot,”* said Baldino,

Success is anticipated by students and ad-
ministrators alike. “By doing this type of organized
event the potential to make the money is there. It’s
just if the students want to donate,” said Baldino,
“It's being really well done," added Friess, who
said she feels hier previous experience and the en-
thusiasm of the students running the drive will carry
them to their goal,

When asked whiy students would want to give
that much money to SUNYA, Friess replied, “you
get a really good education at a good price, and
when you leave you're giving something back.””

In recent years, Sorrell Chesin, Associate Vice
President of University Affairs, has met with the
senior class officers to discuss a gift to be given
from left over monies in the class treasury, but this
is the first time in decades, according to Marsha
McCarthy, Director of Alumni Affairs, that a class
has held a pledge drive to leave a gi

the Hawley library were donated by graduating
classes, and in the 1930s. pledge drive was held:that

The continued success of the pledge program is
hoped for on all sides. ‘I think the whole idea is a
great thing,"” said Dave Silk, president of the Off
Campus Association and a co-chair of the pledge
drive, “We hope that it’s going to become a con-
tinued tradition at the University,"" said McCarthy.

Block finds garlic has blood thinning effects

By Charles A. Coon

A new compound that could
help prevent strokes and heart at-
tacks has been derived from garlic
by a University researcher,

SUNYA Chemistry Professor
Eric Block and graduate student
Saleem Ahmad have produced a
compound that prevents blood
from beginning to clot.

Block said his discovery of the
compound “‘ajoene’ (pronounc-
ed ah-hoe-een) has resulted in the
production of “a totally new class
of compound," adding that “if a
good drug can be found from this.
compound, it could find use in
treatment and prevention of heart
disease, stroke, phlebitis and
arteriosclerosis.”*

Ajoene is derived from garlic.
The methodology of producing
ajoene-from garlic is part of pa-
tent applications filed by the
SUNY Research Foundation and
SUNYA. The patent applications
were filed in December, 1984 and
listed Block -and Ahmad as co-
inventors,

Block said the objective of en-
suing experimentation will be to
discover “if there is some
derivative of ajoene that would be
effective in clinical use," Using
their techniques, Block and
Ahmad are “producing and
testing a new compound every
week," Block said, If some of
these compounds are found to be
medically effective, phar-
maceutical companies would vie
for the right to use Block and
Ahmad’s invention.

Block said the compound may
be in the garlic humans eat, but
that that has not yet been fully

“A totally new class of compound”*

determined,

In addition to Ahmad, Block
also works with chemists from
Caracas, Venezuala and Delaware
on the project, although he used

ferent methods to abstract the
ajoene thant the other researchers,

‘The discovery of ajoene is the

latest landmark in research on the
medicinal properties of garlic and
onions. In his article to be
published in the March issue of
Scientific American, Block tells
of the history of the medicinal
and chemical properties of garlic
and onions, Block is also the
author of the textbook Reactions

of Organosulfur Compounds and
has published about seventy
various articles.

He, an expert. on sulfur
chemistry, was awarded a
prestigious Guggenheim
Fellowship in 1984, one of only
fourteen chemists in the United

States and Canada to be so
honored, Former Guggenheim
Fellowship winners include com-
poser Aaron Copeland and
chemis: Linus Pauling, who in-
vented the Polio vaccine

According to Block’ entific
American article, garlic is an-
tifungal as well as antibiotic, thus
protecting itself against decay in-
duced by fungus. Garlic and
onions’ irritating nature also
repels vertain animals.

‘The article states that the an-
cient Greeks ‘considered the

© odor of garlic and onions vulgar

and prohibited garlic and onion
eaters from worshipping at the
temple of Cybele."*

The reason garlic has
perseryered over the centuries is
medical, Block said, According to
the article, ‘the Phoenicians and
the Vikings took garlic with them
‘on long voyages to treat various
ailments common to sailors...The
Roman fiaturalist Pliny the Elder
gave numerous therapeutic uses
for both garlic and onions.
Garlic, he said, relieves
hoarseness and expels tapeworms
‘and other parasites; onions in-
duce sleep, cure ‘feebleness of vi-
sion’ and heal sores, dogbites,
toothaches, dyscentery, lumbago
and hemorrhoids,”” ‘the article
states.

Block's article. also tells of
more . contemporary. medicinal
luses of garlic, “In 1858, Louis
Pasteur reported that ‘garlic was
antibacterial," The article’ states
that garlic was used in both world
wars, with some success, as an an-
tiseptic in the prevention of
gangrene. Q

By Leslie Chait
STAFF WAITER

Students who live downtown will
soon have an attractive alternative to
studying. at the uptown library as
Hawley Library, SUNYA's Graduate
Library of Public Affairs and Policy,
undergoes renovations,

Hawley first opened its doors in 1909,
and is now under construction in order
to restore the building’s basic systems
such as heating, lighting, and floor sup-
ports, The building “‘didn;t comply with
code. The systems hadn't been changed
since the building was built," said Ruth
Fraley, head librarian at Hawley,

Funds for renovations were initially
requested 10 years ago, and the project,
with a cost of approximately $412,000
was finally funded one year ago, said
Dennis Stevens, Assistant Vice Presi-
‘dent and Director of SUNYA’s plant
department.

‘The heating and electrical systems are
as old as the buildi “we couldn't _
keep the building aoe ely hea
said! Stevens, adding that copiers
typeWriters couldn't be used at the
time because of inadequate wiring. %\

The building has been experiencing
frequent power outages, said Fraley,
and the rewiring of the electrical system
will ‘permit a larger load to be held,
since, when the building was first con-
structed, ‘there were no computers or
copiers.

UNIVERSITY NEWS BUREAU

Martin Rogers, the contractor hired
to make the renovations, has stated
summer of 1985 as the expected date of
completion, said Fraley, adding that
work inthe basement is complete,
“Beginning next week everything in the
basement will be moved to the first
floor, and everything on the first floor
will be moved to the basement,” said
Fraley. Students won't be able to enter
the building through the first floor, but
rather through the basement, she said,

Fraley said she thinks users of Hawley
would have preferred having the renova-
tions done at a different time,
disruptive,”” she explained.

It’s not_easy to renovate a building
when it is still in use, said Stevens, ad-
ding that SUNYA is “trying to provide
service and renovate it at the same
time.”

Stevens said he would like to see
Hawley made as functional as possible,
The renovation. is. “absolutely.
necessary. Rockefeller College is an im-
portant part of Albany
now,and will be-even better in. the
future,"” said Stevens.

Both Fraley and: Stevens expressed
their pleasure that funds were finally
made available for Hawley's renova-
tion. “(I'm) delighted the project is
underway and will be even more
delighted when the project is finished,

Galileo computing system makes
information accessible SUNY wide

By David Wertheim
STAPE WRITER

Through the use of state of the art
technology, SUNY Central can now access
data that measures public attitudes
towards SUNY.

The technology is called Galileo, a
method of Computer Analysis developed
by SUNY professor Joseph. Woelfel.
Galileo is able to receive information,
analyze it, and make it instantly accessible
to a terminal located at SUNY Central, ac-
cording to Rockefeller Institute Coor-
dinator Mike Corso.

The study, titled Community Attitudes
Towards SUNYA (CATS), is a statewide
survey distibuted by SUNYA's Rockefeller
Institute. Between 1000 and 2000 New
York State residents have been surveyed s0
far.

The Galileo Program diagrams public
opinion, It measures relationships between
various emotions to beliefs about the
SUNY system, Corso said, It measures
both general opinion and importance sur-
rounding particular issues, he added.

A random sample is drawn from various
constituencies: parents, students, Ad-
ministration, faculty, Alumni, high school
guidance counselors, media executives,

lators, govertiment agency heads, etc.
Galileo takes the information, and each
constituency is positioned on the graph in
relation to SUNY,

Within seconds of receiving the infor

mation, the SUNY Central Universtiy Af-
fairs office can access it, This office is
working closely with the Rockefeller
Institute,

SUNYA graduate and undergraduate
students from the Communications
department are conducting the surveys,
employing both phone and mail techni-
ques. SUNY is paying for the surveys, but
very little cost is involved beyond paper
and other supplies, Corso said,

This CATS project is unique, Corso

Communication may be aid
to campus racism problem

(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) Racism still
haunts blacks and other minorities at
mostly-white campuses, but the best thing
colleges can do is face the problem and
start talking about it, a new Association of
American Colleges (AAC) study said.

‘At the same time, black-white student
relations are taking historical turns at a
number of predominantly-white, southern
schools, which in recent weeks have taken
steps to integrate their fraternities and
sororities,

Most college students and faculty
members continue to harbor racial
stereotypes, said Carolyn Spatta, author
of the just-released AAC report and vice
president for administration and business
at Cal State-Hayward. ‘And the best thing
we can dois to first acknowledge that these
stereotypes do exist. Whites have them of
blacks, and blacks have them of whites,"*
Spatta said.

Such stereotypes, however, particularly
hurt black students on predominantly-
white campuses, she said, ‘*Whenever a
black student goes to a mostly-white cam-
pus, everybody gets the idea that this is a
poor student from an unstable, inner-city
family,” she explained. ‘But in fact the
black student could just as easily be froma
well-to-do, traditional family in the
suburbs."

For the black student surrounded by a
sea of white faces, the stereotypes can
harm his or her schooling, Spatta said.
Most harmful, she noted, are the ‘feelings
of isolation, lack of faculty and ad-
ministrative role models, and exclusion of
black figures and black contributions in
their subject areas."”

“Both black and white students (often
feel) the black student is little more than a
token on a mostly-white campus," she
said, But confronting these problems,
Spatta says, can help students and faculty
overcome them.

“We're encouraging campuses to take a
workshop approach or hold other related
activities that allow students and faculty to
realize the effects of racism and how to
deal with it,"* she said,

Spatta said she

thinks instructors

especially need to ask themselves,
does racism affect my teaching’

“How does it affect my students’ learn-
ing?” Black students, she said, also need
to establish “support groups"* to. share
feelings of isolation and frustration, ‘‘ac-
cept the fact that getting their degree is a
four or five year goal and not let racism
deter them from that goal,” and ‘‘unders-
tand the history and past experiences of
racism on their campus."”

At the same time the AAC released its
report, several campuses reported historic
progress in integrating their students.
Black and white sororities and fraternities
at the University of Georgia, for instance,
just voted to merge under one governing
council after years of having separate

ils. “We're very positive about the

* said Joe Fleming, president of

's newly-integrated Interfraternity

. “People are finally starting to

realize the benefits we all can have from
this. We will be stronger for uniting.”*

At the University of Arkansas, three
minority students have pledged at three of
the campus" traditionally-white fraternities
and sororities. Last year, eight Arkansas
sororities lost privileges granted to
registered organizations for refusing to
sign a pledge not to discriminate, They
eventually signed the pledge last January.

University of Texas-Austin students,
too, have been struggling to integrate their
greek systems. All the houses at UT have
signed the university's non-discriminatory
agreement ‘and there are some integrated
fraternities with a few. blacks,”’ reported
Eric Weber, UT’s Interfraternity Council
advisor, But black and white houses still
function under separate governing coun-
cils, Weber said.

Like Georgia, Texas’ next step_is to
merge'the councils, but conflicts on both
sides have stopped it so far, Weber said.
Not much is likely to change until they,
merge, however. ‘You'd have to be the
first group to break the tradition (of allow-
ing blacks into a traditionally-white
group)" noted Julie MeNichols, president
of Alpha Xi Delta, a

Cocaine is exception to diminishing
nationwide high school drug abuse

(CPS) Drug use among high school seniors
= this year’s college freshmen - declined for
the fifth consecutive year in 1984 for all
commonly-used drugs except cocaine, the
results of a nationwide survey released last
week indicate,

According to the survey, 5.8 percent of
the high school seniors questioned last spr-
ing had used cocaine in the most recent
month, up from 4.9 percent the previous

. Among students in the northeast sec-
tion of the country, the figure jumped
from 6.9 to 11 percent.

But use of all other drugs on the survey -
including LSD, PCP, cigarettes, alcohol,
marijuana, sedatives, and tranquilizers -
was down,

The percentage of regular marijuana
smokers, for exumple, dropped one-half a

ntage point to five percent, down

the 1978 peak of 11 percent,

e continuing decline stems from an
increasingly widespread view that drug use
is risky and, unacceptable behavior, said
survey director Lloyd Johnston of the
University of Michigan,

“In the long run, this may be the only

battle in the war against drugs that society
can really win," Johnston said of the bid
to change students? attitudes toward drug
use, The attempts to control the supply
and price of drugs are likely to fail, he
said.
But others, while accepting the validity
of Johnston's methodology, suggest other
factors may account for the continuing
decline,

“The use of achiever drugs, such as co-

caine, is going up, while the use of relaxing
is going down,” noted Kevin Zeese,
director of the National Organization for
the Reform of Marijuana Laws, which
discourage the use of controlled substances
but favors making marijuana legal.
“We're not so much solving the drug
problem as changing it,"" Zeese said,
pel, director of the Center
wana and Health, suggested that
students’ increased emphasis on learning
marketable skills is changing drug use
habits,

“People want to be energized,” she
doesn't do that
on marijuana,
but they can while on cocaine."
There are even signs of an i

NOL normally drug ex-
perimenters, Gampel said.

“One student at the University of
Maryland told the word on
that students don't feel that cocaine is a
drug," Gampel said, “It's just something
that gives you strength and energy. ‘They
want to get ahead in the world, so using
something that gives you energy

arguing the increase in cocaine use nation-
wide since 1983 is statisticall
What's more, Johnston's survey

dicates students are increasingly wary of
cocaine, In 1983, 74 percent of them said
they thought there is great risk in cocaine
use. Last year, the figure jumped to 79

There are signs the numbers

South Dakota's Board of
Regents, ‘This puzzles and sur-
prises us.'We did not expect this
at what has been a very popular

Even if nationwide numbers
approach 1983's , the downward
trend is expected to accelerate.
“We think the enrollment trend is
just beginning, and will last into
the mid-1990's,”” said Vance
Grant of the NCES in
Washington, D.C.

The reason is that there are
simply fewer high school-aged
people in the pipeline that usually
provides students for colleges.

There'll be ‘some. 50,000 fewer

Board predicted. ‘There is a pr-

Men swimmers top Colonials in home finale”

By Donna Altman

‘The Albany State men’s swimming team
was victorious against Binghamton in
their last home meet of the season, 68-45.

This past Saturday the men were ag-
gressive and it was evident in the pool.

“We did well today. We went into the
meet knowing that they were better than
they were in the past, but we proved to be
the better team,’ stated captain Jeff Ball.
“There was an outside possibility that they
might've won, but we were just a lot
stronger. We had a tough line up and by
the time the meet was half way over, we
were sure that we'd win."

‘The swimmers put in some great perfor-
mances and several records were broken.

Jeff Kennedy, a prime example, beat his
record in the 1000 yard freestyle.with a
time of 10:37. He also pulled an incredible
time of 2:10 in the 200 yard backstroke- a
season's best for Kennedy.

Once again, Fred Greenbaum had a
great day. He swam in the 200 yard
freestyle, coming up with an amazing time
of 1:51. Furthermore, in the 100 yard
freestyle, he swam a season’s best of 49.8.

Frank Parker must also be commended
for his skill in the 200 yard butterfly, He
took second with a time of 2:15, which was
his best time of the year.

Jeff Ball did well in the 200 Individual
Medley. He took second with a time of

, which beat his previous record by a
couple of seconds.

“Me and the other guy went head to
head. It was a great race dnd 1 was really
happy," commented Ball.

In the 200 yard freestyle, Michael
Wright had a fine time of 1:54, Wright
also swam in the 500 yard freestyle, but
was not too enthused with his
performance,

Hazime Dupo was disappointed with his
time of 2:04 in the 200 yard butterfly, He
also swam the butterfly in the Medley relay”

taking a time of :54,

Frank Cawley just missed qualifying for
the States with a time of 1:58.6 in the 200
yard freestyle.

Dean Wilson swam the 200 yard
breaststroke with a time of 2:31 which was
his best of the season.

Mike Feldman had a good day against
Binghamton, He felt that his times were
consistent, which pleased him. Feldman
performed well in all three of his events.
He swam the 100 yard freestyle, 50 yard
freestyle, and in the 400 yard freestyle
relay.

Freshman Mike Koutelis swam well in
the 200 yard breaststroke, taking first in
that race,

Jim Neiland qualified for the States in the
$00 yard freestyle with a fine time of $:29,

Andrew Motola had a great day against
Binghamton, He swam in :he 200 yard In-
dividual Medley grabbing a super time of
2:14. Motola also swam in the 400 yard
freestyle relay clocking another fantastic
time of :53.

The Danes took first in the 400-yard
freestyle relay with a dynamic time of 3:26.
Feldman led off with Kennedy swimming
second, Handy in the third slot, and
Greenbaum finishing off.

Tom Handy had an amazing time of

5:13 in the 500 yard freestyle taking firs:
place.
“Twas very pleased with the team’s per-
formance. The whole team is improving,"
commented Handy, “It’s very important
that our times continue to drop at: this
crucial point in the season."”

‘The divers also played an important role
in clinching this victory against Bingham-
ton, Mike Vardy took first inthe one
Meter competition, while Mike Cano took
third. Inthe three meter Vardy took se-
_gondj-with’ Cand: taking third

On the whole, the Danes swam better
than they expected to, making an exciting
victory for the swimmers,

“We looked good in the events we
swam. The guys are looking better every-
day with their times continually dropp-

The Dates brought their 6-4-0
record into Syracuse on Friday to
play LeMoyne College and suf-

was hard fought from the outset.
The Danes took a 2-1 lead after
the first period on goals by Tom-
my Wu and Mike Cavanaugh. In
a busy middle session, LeMoyne
College tied the score at four
heading into the third period,

then added and empty net goal to

brother, Pete, added a goal as did
John Knab for Albany.

‘The game was tight from the

After building up the two goal
lead, Albany lost Jeff Karenter to
an injury. At the time, the injury
appeared to be serious. At first,
the injury was thought to have
been a broken clavicle, but later it
‘was found that Karenter had a
severely sprained neck. Jeff will
miss between 4 to 5 weeks because
of the injury.

The loss of Karenter seemed to
upéet the club’ as they lost both
their momentum and their two
goal lead. The Junior Red Wings
tied the game at four. The Danes
then took a five-four lead only to
see that erased by the Wings.

Albany brought a 6-5 lead into

game, but could not hold on as

Women gymnasts fall from unbeaten ranks.

By Sarah V. Schuss

‘The Albany Staie Gymnasts were both
excited and disappointed at the end of
ti-meet against Salem State and MIT
this past Saturday afternoon. Although
the Dane gymnasts suffered their first
defeat’ of the season, they also scored a
season high of 152.3. The Danes were
barely nipped by Salem State, who scored
‘a mere 8 tenths of a point higher than the
Danes. MIT, scoring 121.75, came in 3rd
place,

For the Dane women, it was difficult to
accept defeat- perhaps even more so when
it's by fractions of a point. For example, 8
tenths of a point is worth possibly one fall
on the balance beam and two bent knees.
When asked to comment on the meet,

Coach Pat Duval-Spillane noted,

“Losing by .8 won’t
bring us down - it’s a
great incentive to
work harder.’’

"Granted, everybody likes to win, but we
were really shooting to break the 150.00
mark this meet, and we reached our goal.
‘was really pleased with a 152.30, and the
team was also. We keep on improving, and
that’s what really counts."

One ‘asset of the Dane gymnastics team
is their depth, In the NCAAs, six women
compete on each event, and the top 5
scores count toward the overall team
score. Therefore, it is not enough to have
fone or two standotit gymnasts in the
lineup. The Danes have been scoring con-
sistently in all four events all season long.

fort, or anything."

Albany sgored seasonal team highs for 3
out of 4 events, with the exception of the

uneven parallel bars.

‘Vaulting proved to be a strong event for
the Danes,’ who took first place as a team
in the event, Sophmore Susan Leskowitz’s
powerful vault scored an 8.45, and won
her first place, Junior Brenda Armstrong
followed in second place with an 8.35.
Karen Bailey. Karen Thamasett and Terri
Sokol all scored in the high 7's to help
Albany score their seasonal high of 39.90
for the event.

Albany had afew form breaks:on the
uneven parallel bars but still managed to
score well. Sophmore Leslie Steckel, con-
sistently strong for Albany all season, took
second place, with an 8.2, Steckel’s score
became Albany's new seasonal record,
breaking her 7.85 scored earlier in the
season,

After the first two events, .05 seperated
the Danes from Salem State. It was not a
strong day for Albany on the balance
beam, when crucial tenths of points were
given up over a few concentration breaks
and falls, Salem State proved to be very
solid on the beam, taking first'and second
places. Senior Jennifer Cleary pulled
through for Atbany State scoring a 7.8,
taking 3rd place.

Grapplers lose to second ranked Binghamton

SUNYACs next

By Cathy Errig

In finishing their dual-meet season with
a 30-14 victory over Cortland and a
somewhat disappointing 30-21 loss to
second-ranked Binghamton Saturday, the
Albany State wrestling team became the
winningest team in Albany State wrestling
history with an overall 18-3 record.

The 18 victories surpass the former
record of 17 set by the 198:
plers, and the .600 winning percentage
equals the former high of the 1973-74
Dane grapplers.

The record-breaking victory over Cor-
tland was highlighted by 118-pound Shawn
Sheldon pinning Cortland’s Jim Collet in
2:57, and, at 158, Andy Seras’ technical
superiority over Kim Fleischer. At 126,
Dave Averill remained undefeated with-a
7-1 decision over Joe Brillo, and Marty
Pidel, wrestling at 167, was also a winner,
getting an 8-0 decision,

Against Binghamton, however, the nag-
sing Dane injuries once again surfaced,
and proved too much for the Dane graj
plers to overcome. The match began ex-
tremely well for Albany, with victories by
Sheldon, Averill, and John Balog, 134), in

ing from the flu.

coach Joe DeMco. ‘We're still coming off
of injuries and are not up to 100 percent,
Not up to our best, Our team morale has
not dropped, though. We're going to just
try and live up to our potential which is all

you can do in sports."”

Thai potential has made them the winn-
ingest team in the team’s history not only
in terms of victories, in DeMeo's eyes, but
in other aspects as well.

“The amount of points this team has
scored is just awesome. We have beaten
some excellent teams this season by some
very substantial margin:

Directly proportional to this statement
are the records of grapplers Sheldon,
Averill, and Seras, all of whom boast a
team record 21 victories with no defeats.
In addition, Averill and Seras both sur-
passed the team record for career victories,
Averill now has 67 while Seras has 65, and
Sheldon, a sophomore, is well on course to
top their records, Averill is an NCAA
champion, Seras and Sheldon were Olym-
pic alternates. All three are All-Americans,

The Danes will next compete in the
SUNYAC's this weekend, in which the
favorites are Binghamton, Buffalo, and
Brockport.

“Hopefully jt will all come together this
weckend,"” said DeMeo with regard to his
injured wrestlers, ‘and we'll be back up to
100 percent by this weekend,"?

"We've had a great season,"
Sheldon, “and I'd like us to finish i
top three, Hopefully we'll even take the

Brian Croutier tries to fill his brothers’ shoes

By Dean Chang
MANAGING EDITOR

It was just like old times for the
youngest of the Croutier’ brothers. One
head fake to the right, and Danny Croutier
would be well on his way to the basket, his
younger brother Brian at his heels. But
something was different.

Instéad’6f ‘a’ Bobrly-lit Bian es QUEL A,
ent

the Croutier home in Roc ire, the
scene, was a, well-lit) University! Gym: In-r
stead of a one-person audience, usually a
non-partisan Marie Croutier,, mother. of
10, the Croutier,boy's show was played in
front. of close to 2000 Albariy supporters.
Instead of a close one-on-one game,
Croutier the elder outscored his brother,
20 points to none. Something was different
all right,

For the second and probably last time in
their basketball careers, Danny and Brian
stood at opposite ends of the court, facing
the flag during the national anthem, wear-
ing different colored uniforms. For Brian,
the color was Oneonta red, a color he'll be
wearing for three more years. For Danny,
the color was Albany white with traces of
purple, the latter being the color of
Danny’s blood for the past four years.
This wasn’t just another game in the
backyard by any means: the supporting

cast saw to that, as the Danes soundly
defeated the Red Dragons, 82-55,

“That sure was different from playing
in the backyard,"” said Brian. “There was
a lot of pressure and a lot of noise in this
gym.”

The first match-up between the two
teams last month gave Brian his first play-
ing experience against Danny in an Albany
uniform,

‘The first time 1 played him ina game
made me realize how different it isthan in
‘any other game,” said Brian. ‘It’s funny
when I look up and see him playing me."

But some things don’t change. Both
brothers have kept the fierce competitive
nature that has become a Croutier
trademark. The same goes forthe physical
play.

After being ‘ran off a few picks, Brian

subjected to even more rough stuff,

/e been getting the elbows for the past
12 years,"" said Brian, ‘I'm used to it,"”

Brian may have gotten off lucky, as
most of Danny's opponents have bruises
to match. Albany Head Coach Dick
Sauers is one who believes that.

“Playing full court, 1 noticed,that Dan-
ny wasn't as physical with Brign,': said
Sauers, “But I think that if the game were
close, he would have let them know where

Danny Croutir moots with his brother Brian after Saturday's game. The Danes beat
55,

Brian's place was."

There is no doubt in Sauer’s mind as to
which of the brothers is the better player.

“Danny was a much better player at that
age than Brian is,” said Sauers. “Danny
looked to score more, which isn’t a great
combination with being a point guard. But
Danny has matured a lot, and overall, he
has the edge."

Sauers believes that a comparison’ bet?

fair,

“Brian's just like Kevin- he never look-
ed to shoot," said Sauers. “He would
penetrate and then look to dish-off. I'm
sure that Brian will just do a great job-for
‘Oneonta; he just has to work on a few
things over the summer."*

If Brian does turn out to be just like
Kevin, Oneonta will have been doubly-
blessed. Jim Boland, an Oneonta alumnus
who is now Albany JV coach, remembers
Kevin as a “‘consumate point guard. He
was a great penetrator and a great passer.
He ran the offense, and he didn’t have t0

€ to be effective.”

While most of the campus was sleep-
ing off their Saturday night
hangovers,the Albany State racqetball
club trudged into the University Gym at
8 a.m. and became Northeastern’s big
gest headache.

Albany State's newly formed rac-
quetball team gave the fully established
Northeastern team all they could handle
and more, defeating them 10:8 Sunday
morning.

nent 15-1, 15-1 playing with. much

Brian has seemed to take that last part
of Boland’s description to heart. He didn't
take any shots in the 21 minutes he played,
much to Danny's chagrin.

‘He's got a good shot," said the Dane,
“+He wasn’t looking to shoot, and we knew

on the track, and not on the court,

This was the last time that the Crouutiers
had to watch their sons play against each

blems of whom to root for.

on in the afternoon, Thompson and

their doubles match,

Among the women, Albany's top:

Albany then got down to
business, reeling off eight straight

points and outscoring’ the
Dragons 21-9 through the rest of
the half, and taking a 37-24
halftime lead.

The second half proved two
things: how deep the Albany team
really is and how inexperienced
Oneonta is. The Danes’ starters
began the second half, but
halfway through, Albany Head
Coach Dick Sauers went to his
bench and finished the game with
his reserves.

‘On the other side of the court,
Oneonta Coach ‘Don. Flewelling
played everybody and, unfor-
tunately for him, nothing helped.

With less than two minutes
gone, Greg Hart took the ball all
the way in on a fast break and
slammed it home for two points,
charging up the crowd and giving
an indication as to what kind of
half it was going to be.

Albany was fighting on the
boards and hitting almost
everything, giving them a 20 point
lead with more than seven
minutes left to play. This is when,
according to Sauers, Oneonta
“threw in the towel."

Nothing could stop the Danes,
offensively or defensively. At one
point, they stole the ball three
timesin a row, coverting all three
steals and running up a 27 point
lead with 3 minutes to play, which
is the way it stayed for the rest of
the game.

Flewelling summed up his
team’s performance and dismal
season (3-14, 0-8 in the SUNY
Athletic Conference) very con-

cisely: ‘We're a very, very young
inexperienced team." Flewelling

added that, on top of being inex-

perience, ‘'we don’t have a lot of

talent."

“We were trying to rely on the
perimeter, and you can't win that
way," he said, adding that his
team spent a lot of time standing
around and looking instead “of
fighting for rebounds.

‘Sauers, on the other hand, felt
his team’ played ‘‘an intelligent
game." We have more good
players than they do right now,”
he said, ‘‘and everybody
contributed."

According to Flewelling, his
team stayed close in the first half
by changing their defenses, a
point which Sauers agreed upon,
“It took a while to adjust, but we
were able to recognize the dif-
ferent defenses," Sauers said.

‘Another problem Oneonta fac-
ed all night was the new 4$-second
clock, which is being used in con-
ference games. ‘I hate. it,
Flewelling said, adding that the
clock “always favors the team
with the most talent and takes us
‘out of the game.” Several times in
the first half Oneonta had to
force a shot just before the clock
expired.

Flewelling called Croutier the
key to Albany's attack, and
Saturday night proved it,
Croutier scored 14 of his 20
points in the first half and accor-
ding to Sauers, was responsible
for Albany's first half lead,

Carolyn Forshe

STAFF WRITER

Carolyn Forshe, a renowned
poet and writer, spoke with
sincerity and poise to an audience
of about 35 Thursday afternoon,

Forshe, author of ‘Gathering
Tribes” and ‘Country Between
Us" was referred to as a rare in-
dividual, an inner witness of our
time who uses language as her
medium.

And language did prove to be
her medium as she evoked a

dience in the question and answer
discussion she held in the Campus
Center Assembly Hall.

Forshe, a poet before all else,
spoke of her experiences with
poetry and of the many faraway
lands her work has led her to.

“The little choices one makes.
in life can follow no particular
pattern, just follow what you are
concerned with,’’ she said,

* Forshe said she is committed to

working against capital punish
ment, international torture and
guerrila warfare,

sizeable response from her au--

Forshe has traveled to El
Salvador, Lebanon, Israel, and
Northern Ireland and eloquently
described her exposure to the hor-
rors of civil war and injustice,

“It is in three places’ that 1
realized that torturing could hap-
pen to anyone, not just those that
knew it existed."* She explained a
story of a friend that was tortured
for four days straignt over a issue
she knew nothing about,

“She told me of the torturings
so many times, in such great
detail, it is almost as if she were
obsessed,"’ Forshe explained
emotionally,

Speaking of the injustices that
went on in these countries, she
said that what horrified her even
more was how we in the United
States perceived the tragedies.

“Pused to think the American

‘media was just limited but after 1

saw what reporters saw, read
what they wrote, and then saw
what American citizens read, 1
realized 1 was wrong," she ex-
plained, adding that the
American public ‘did not even
know about the nuclear warheads

currently based in Lebanon.

wouldn’t sound right, nuclear
warheads in Lebanon, so they
didn’t tell you,” she said.

However, in response to a ques-
tion posed by a student about
how she could witness all this and
still maintain her sanity, Forshe
said, ‘‘the more you witness the
more clearly you see,"” She added
that she is continually amazed
and must always reassess her
thoughts.

““What people did not realize in
Lebanon was that just talking to
Americans doesn’t change things
80 easily," she said, She explained
that she felt fear coming back to
the U.S. and expressing herself to
Americans,

“In these countries people are
so committed they will die for
you, you don't feel that in
‘America where everyone is in-
dividual,” she said,

Forshe, an individual who does
not speak in a cynical nature, ex-
plained the importance of getting
involved and seeking truth, ‘1
feel 1 do not really know a situa-
tion unless I am in that place but
you must always dig deeper."*

Last week's theft of two Accounting 222
exams was the latest incident in a round of
stolen Business School tests which are tar-
nishing the school’s reputation,

Mike Miller, Central Council Academic
Affairs Committee chair, asserted that
one of the exams was stolen from the
Lecture Center while the professor was
talking with one of his students.

Miller said, ‘Business School sources

Hamilton also expressed the belief that

‘AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

A new Affirmative Action policy, which
will create two new SA positions, was pass-
ed unanimously by Council after a long
debate,

Steve Russo, chair of the Internal Af-
fairs committee which developed the
policy, argued that only one position
should be created in the interests of offl-
clency. After the policy was passed, he
suid, “since Council has created two posi-
tions, then it must put its money where its

Koff was given no advance notice of
the demonstration, and, according to
Schaffer, “he tried to give us his

If their demands are not met, said
demonstrator Mike Miller, “we'll step
