Over a dozen representatives
from the Capital District
Armenian, Greek, and Cypriot
communities joined with several
University students and a faculty
member at Wednesday’s Central
Council meeting to support a
resolution condemning the
invitation of Turkish President
Turgut Ozal to speak at the
University’s 1991
Commencement Ceremonies.

Council broke their regular
agenda to discuss the resolution,
which called theinvitation of
Ozal by University President H.
Patrick Swygert to be a “direct
affront to the community,
faculty, and students,”

The resolution, which charged
the invitation “violates the
Principles of a Just Community,”
and demanded that “the
invitation...be immediately
rescinded,” was swiftly passed
by (unanimous) acclimation,

SSUNYA student Mark Dalzell
has filed a complaint against the
Albany City Police and the
Capital Police.

Dalzell, 19, was walking
through Washington Park on his
way from his mother’s house at
186 Morris St. to the SUNYA
bus stop at Draper Hall when
Capital Police stopped him and
questioned him, he said.

Dalzell said the officers asked
him for identification, told him
that he met the description of a
robber they were on the lookout
for, and conducted a pat down.
Police were looking for a lone
African-American who had
robbed a Norstar bank branch
located at 25 New Scotland
Avenue less than an hour earlier,
When the City Police arrived,
Dalzell said he was searched

The resolution charged Turkey
with “continuing to ignore the

resolutions calling for the
removal of all Turkish forces

“cited for Human Rights

Central Council also
condemned Turkey’s invasion of
the Island of Cyprus in 1974,
which killed 6,000 Cypriots, and
decried the refusal of the Turkish
government to take
responsibility for the massacre of
1.5 million Armenians by the
Ottoman government between
1915 and 1923.

Budget slashes Mid Earth funding

By Kerri Lewis
NEWS EDITOR

As a result of state wide
budget cuts, the New York State
Division of Substance Abuse
Services (NYSDSAS), which
funds one third of Middle
Earth’s budget, will no longer
fund the program next year.

According to Middle Earth’s
Coordinator for Resource
Development and
Administration Val Fahey, her
position and the two counseling
coordinator positions allocated
to graduate students will be cut
asa result.

“The rationale they
(NYSDSAS) used,” Fahey said,
“is they overspeculated on how
much money they have and they
already comitted more money
toward treatment.”

“Services for college
communities are very
specialized and they felt the
University wouldn’t suffer,” she
said.

“But we are going to suffer;
Middle Earth provides very
valuable services and Programs
for more than 5000 people,” she
added.

Fahey also said Middle Earth
will have to reorganize its
Money to keep the hotline going

next year.

The peer counseling service,
she said, will no longer be
available.

Middle Earth volunteer Al
Leach said, “Next year will be
tough because we’re going to
have to trim down to provide all
services we do now.”

“The hotline will stay the
same,” he said, “but the
Outreach will be harder to
Provide.”

Volunteer Karen Foshay
agreed it will be hard to provide
Outreach efficiently next year.

“The whole thing is Val is
really important to us at Middle
Earth,” Foshay said. “The
Programs Val started planning
this year like the date Tape
workshops won’t continue
because they’ll have to pass on
to a volunteer.”

She added, “She’s someone
who’s always here.”

Fahey said all the training
modules about eating disorders
and date rape come through her
Office.

She also said since she is
tenured she will still be
employed at the university next
year, but she won’t retain her
current position at Middle Earth.

Fahey has held her position at

Middle Earth for fifteen years.
Before that she counseled at
Planned Parenthood for two
years,

At last week’s Central Council
meeting, council members voted
unanimously to keep Middle
Earth intact and not to abolish
Fahey’s position.

The resolution stated, “Be it
hereby resolved the Student
Association appreciates the great
job Valerie Fahey has done for
the students, and that we would
like to see her continue in her
position.”

“It’s insulting for her to be
cut,” said Student Association’s
Womyn’s Issues Coordinator
Jessica Mann. “She had the
respect of everyone she worked
with.”

Mann added, “She was one of ©
the few people that actually goes
out and does things.”

“Tt feels like being stabbed in
the back,” she said, “as we were
going through all those hoops
with the administration and the
IFC she was always there.”

Fahey helped organize the
mandatory date rape workshops
for fraternities, sororities and
athletes this Spring. She has also

NEWS BRIEFS

Riots persist

Seoul, South Korea
(AP) Thousands of radicals battled riot
police in the streets of the capital
Wednesday in a growing challenge to the
government of President Ron Tae-woo.

Demonstrations involving at least
50,000 people were reported in 13 cities in
the third day of protests sparked by the
fatal beating of a student last Friday by
police.

Dozens of protesters and police were
injured and at least 170 protesters were
arrested in Seoul.

Protestors hurled rocks and firebombs at
police in a fashionable residential and
shopping area near Yonsei University, in
the western part of the city. Hundreds of
tear gas shells streaked through the
darkened sky, clogging streets with gas.

About 1,500 police guarding a major
intersection were surrounded by thousands
of protesters in swirling clashes that lasted
more than two hours.

Demonstrators overturned two police
vans and overpowered 12 officers inside.
Other police went to their rescue.

President shot

Moscow, U.S.S.R.
(AP) The acting president of the
Adzharian autonomous republic in Soviet
Georgia was shot and wounded by his vice
president, who then was killed by
presidential guards, Tass reported
Wednesday.

Only sketchy details of Tuesday’s
shootings were reported by Tass in its
dispatch from the Adzhurian capital of
Batumi, a Black Sea port near the Turkish
border. It gave no motive for the attack.

Vice President Nodar Imiadze and two
associates stormed into the office of acting
President A. Abashidze, who was holding
@ meeting on how to aid victims of the
Georgian earthquake, the Soviet news
agency said.

Abashidze and Georgian Deputy Prime
Minister M. Omanadze were wounded,
and guards immediately killed Imiadze,
who was armed with a submachine gun,
Tass reported. The two associates of
Imiadze were arrested, the report said.

Klein found a discarded tickets behind the
counter with all the right numbers and
made it her own.

She paid for it, signed it, laid claim to
the jackpot and was declared the winner.

State lottery officials are not contesting
the win, but the store’s owners and
another clerk are: They’re suing for the
money.

The computer-generated Lotto America
ticket was issued April 4 by a clerk at Mr.
G’s, a store in Gregory. The clerk thought
a customer wanted a $5 ticket. The
customer - who wanted five $1 tickets -
refused to pay.

While ownership is hashed out in
Circuit Court, the state Supreme Court
will decided whether Klein can have any
of the money before the mess is settled.

More junkets taken

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Vice President Dan Quayle took a
$27,000 weekend golfing trip on an Air
Force jet that left only hours after
President Bush promised a full-scale
review of taxpayer-financed travel, CBS
News said Wednesday evening.

Quayle, joined by Transportation
Secretary Sam Skinner, left Friday for
two days of golf at Augusta, Ga., while
Washington was abuzz over White House
Chief of Staff John Sununu’s frequent
flights on Air Force jets, the network
said.

It said no government business was
conducted on the trip.

Quayle and Skinner played 18 holes
Friday at the Augusta National course,
home of the Masters tournament, and 18
more on Saturday before jetting back to
Washington, the network said. Quayle is a

skilled golfer whose fondness for the
game is well known.

Quayle spokesman David Beckwith
said vice presidents have been travelling
on Air Force planes as a normal
procedure for decades.

“So where is the news value in this?”
Beckwith said. “This is another media
cheap shot at Dan Quayle.”

“We're taking a good hard look at the
whole travel policy,” Bush said.

Family found dead

Rhinecliff
(AP) A 29-year-old man fatally shot his
estranged wife and their two children in
the head before killing himself, state
police said Wednesday.

The bodies of William Allen Walberg,
of Rhinecliff, Dawn Walberg, 26, of
Hyde Park, and their children, John, 7.
and Kayla, 3, were found Wednesday
moming by Conrail workers at a freight
yard, said Capt. William DeBlock.

The couple had been having marital
problems and were living apart, though
they were not legally separated, DeBlock
said. The children lived with their
mother,

Walberg used a 16-gauge shotgun to
kill his family and himself, DeBlock
said. The positioning of the bodies did
not indicate that anyone was running
from Walberg, said DeBlock, who would
not say if there had been a struggle.

The isolated area where the bodies
were found is about 100 yards from the |
Hudson River and about a half-mile

from a train station.

SUNYA prof fired

Albany
(AP) A former professor says he had an
agreement with State University of New
York at Albany officials that he would be
reinstated after serving time for a
computer crime, not fired.

Richard Orville said he disagrees with
an arbitration ruling that upheld the
university’s decision to fire him in July
1990, a few months after he admitted to
selling university-owned computer
information.

Orville, 54, said he had a verbal
agreement with officials that is he
pleaded guilty to the computer crime
count, he would be returned to his post
as an atmospheric science professor.

Orville ran Albany State’s lightning
detection network, an organization he
helped to form in 1983. The group was
founded with an $8 million grant from a
coalition of electrical utilities to study
lightning and electrical storms.

Orville admitted in March 1990 to
selling access to the network’s computers
to insurance and utility companies, and
placing more than $75,000 worth of
proceeds into his personal bank
accounts. He was sentenced to 90 days in
jail and a $25,000 fine,

The proposed budget will affect
programs such as C-STEP which assists
many minority students in academics and
helps then get into college.

“How can you cut a program that helps
our kids realize their dreams? There will
be no more minority doctors and
lawyers,” said Roy Pompey, C-STEP
director of Hudson Valley Community
College.

“The real pain is that many students
won’t be able to achieve their goals,” said
an Albany High School student.

The proposed budget will also cut after-
school programs.

“My nine-year-old child will have to
walk home in the drug-infested Arbor

rich and make them pay their fair share,”

Ways to deal with exam anxiety

By Middle Earth Staff

It happens every semester.
Finals roll around and the
academic pressure begins to
build. The strain of cramming in
everything learned from an entire
semester has heads spinning. “Tis
the season to be anxious.

A brief definition of test
anxiety would be: unreasonable
or excessive amounts of fear in a

ROOTS we begin

preparing for
these exams. The term “test
anxiety” does not refer to any
real disease, but sums up the
difficulties students experience
in preparing for and taking
exams. There seems to be a
specific type of anxiety in many
students which can occur during
any testing situations. There are
some people who are specifically
test anxious. Some anxiety in
testing situations can be a good
thing, but when it reaches too
high a level, it can interfere with
a student’s performance. The
way it interferes is that it leads to
a decrease in attention to the
task.
Sometimes, the pressure of an
exam can break down a person’s
confidence, and the test taker
begins questioning their
intelligence, the importance of
the exam, and how nervous they
are. They may get carried away
with these inward feelings of

failure.

A more physical manifestation
of test anxiety occurs when
students focus their attentions
externally. The problem of being
over-attentive to outer things,
such as watching the clock and
following other students progress
can really heighten the anxiety
level. A Middle Earth Info-tape
states that the problem can
become detrimental both
psychologically and
physiologically. Hence, the
anxiety produces distractions in
both ways.

What we think, how we
distribute our attentions, what
our beliefs are and what
strategies we employ can all
affect test performance, even if
we are very well prepared for the
test.

Middle Earth is currently
offering stress relief and
relaxation workshops, in order to
help students. Being able to
relieve physiological stress, will
help students to function better
psychologically. Learning how to
relax one’s tightened muscles
and slowing down the heartbeat
can help to lower the stress level
in a testing situation. One
suggestion offered by workshop
presenters is that before picking
up your pen, try this, close your
eyes and breath deeply and
slowly and try to relax your
muscles.

In addition to offering

techniques to help relieve

exercises, a good diet, and good
sleeping habits are better means
of stress reduction in the long
run, is information given during
the workshops.

Improper preparation for
exams can also effect test
anxiety. An important factor
which affects one’s anxiety level
would be our study skills and our
abilities to manage our time.
Improving our study skills while
scheduling our study times can
reduce anxiety by not putting all
our academic pressures right
before the test time. Learning to
improve study habits can help to
reduce one’s test anxiety.

Aside from a normal test
anxiety, some students find
certain subjects particularly
pressuring. Math, for example, is
an area which has caused an
extraordinary amount of stress in
students. One way to describe
math anxiety is “a simple case of
drawing a blank.” The anxiety
situation interferes with our
reasoning process that can lead
to the answer.

Whether it’s math or any other
kind of test which makes you
anxious, there are suggested
places on campus where you
might seek help. Middle Earth
(442-5777) and University

Students explore future 2 Job opportunities

By Jillian Risberg
STAFF WRITER

Designed to introduce students
to potential careers and vocations
and offer the business
community interaction with their
future work force, the first
Capital Region Career and
Education Expo is being held at
the Knickerbocker Arena May 2
through 7.

The idea for the Career Expo
originated from Governor
Cuomo’s 1988 State of the State
address and the New York State
Department of Labor’s response
to the Department of the Child
Initiative, said Sandra Powell,
one of the event’s organizers.
“The Expo is to expose kids to a
variety of choices and to make
available to everyone the
information and tools necessary
to make the right choices,” she
said.

According to Powell the
exhibitors want contact with
their future work force. This is
more than just a job fair, it offers
people exposure to a wider array
of choices. “The career expo has
different environments with
different themes that all have a
common thread,” she said.

Most of the work world will be
represented, Powell said, from
those in corporations to those
who work in the media, unions,
arts organizations, agencies, and
health care services.

Participants will be able to
investigate the options available
to them in the work world in an
organized, appropriate setting.

They will also have the
opportunity to learn interview
techniques, how to write a
Tesume, and to get hints on

dressing for success, Powell said.

“The Expo offers hands on
contact with exhibitors, there are
over 48 represented,” she said.
“For instance, building careers
gives apprenticeship training,
General Electric (GE) shows
scientific displays.”

There are also workshops
being held at the Empire State
Plaza on writing resumes,
movement in the job market, and
interview techniques.

“Monday is Government Day,
we will be having representatives
from the State Legislature, the
Lieutenant Governor, etc.,” she
said.

We have a lot of group
leadership and development here
at the Expo, said Powell, who
explained the Capital District
Expo (CDX) is a group of kids
from different school districts
who have helped plan, design

and organize two stage shows, |

one 6 minute rap show and

another 12 minute performance.
“Over 100 kids will act as

guides, master of ceremonies,

and crowd and
controllers,” she said.

“Tn the last month these kids
have learned leadership skills,
how to manage and develop and
become partners with each
other,” she said.

Student rally draws low turnout

By Erin Bolton
STAFF WRITER

A small group of SUNYA students gathered at the small fountain
to rally against the proposed tuition hikes on Monday.

While the number of ralliers was small, their hostility was intense.

One rallier, a SUNYA freshman commented, “No other students|
care or else they would be here in support.”

However, not all rallier agreed with this statement, replying, “If al
few of us stand and speak, more people will come until our voices

fare heard.”

Another rallier said the low turnout was due in part to a ack off
organization. The rally was not run by a specific campus group.

The students who attended the rally said they would like to}
lencourage others to become aware of the budget situation and take a

stand.

“Our purpose was to give
input, and keep the interests of
the kids,” Adams said. “We’re
having a really good time doing
the whole thing,” they said.

“We have many people
working for us, retired state
employees and professional
athletes,” Powell said. “It gives a
sense of total involvement,” she
said.

The New York Department of
Labor, the city and county of
Albany, and the State Education
Department are sponsoring the
Career Expo.

According to Powell 25,000
student and residents are
expected to attend the program.

The Career Expo originated at
the Jacob Javitz Center in New
York City in the Fall of 1988.
Powell said it then went to
Rochester, “and now we brought
it to the Capital District.”

You have one night.

It seems unfair. The genius had all that time. While you have a few
short hours to learn your sun spots from your satellites before the
dreaded astronomy exam.

On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps
keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So

even when the subject matter’s dull, your mind will stay razor sharp.
If Galileo had used Vivarin, maybe he could have mastered the solar

School turns on more than spirit

By Melissa Cooper
STAFF WRITER

Hundreds of students gathered
on the podium at noon on
Wednesday to count down to
SUNYA's long-awaited rite of
spring - the turning on of the
fountain.

As the streams of water jetted
into the air, students celebrated
by playing with frisbees, beach
balls, and in the fountain itself.

However, there were no
balloons launched this year.

Students lined the stairs and
pledges held bright fraternity
banners over the top ledge in
preparation for the all-Greek
picture which was taken at 1:00
p.m.

Since it was close to eighty
degrees, men walked around
without shirts and women were
wearing bikini tops.

"Class? Who goes to class on
Fountain Day?," said one
student. Another student said
classes should be cancelled for
the event.

Many people on the lower
level were thrown or pushed into
the water, struggling and yelling
on their way in. Four big black
dogs joined in the fun, chasing
each other around the fountain
and occasionally joining in on a
frisbee game.

In contrast to last year's
spectacular balloon release, the
environmental group Earthbound
was instrumental in educating

the Class of 1992, who planned
this year's release, about the
dangers the balloons could
cause. Earthbound representative
Steve Young cited hazards to
wildlife, such as birds and

pis”

marine mammals, as a reason for
not having the relase this year.
Once alerted to this problem, the
Class of '92 agreed with Young ,
and did not release the balloons
as originally planned.

Kennedy Smith says alleged
"accidental event"

rape was

By CAROLYN PESCE
WASHINGTON
William Kennedy Smith said

' the woman accusing him of rape

is making a “federal case” out of
a series of “accidental events,”
his landlord says.

Smith’s comments on the case,
his first to be publicly disclosed,
were made Sunday to his
landlord, Judge Harold
Petrowitz.

Petrowitz is a 25-year
American University law
professor who has rented his
Georgetown carriage house to
Smith for four years.

“He’s terribly distressed by all

this,” said Petrowitz. “I think he
has the feeling that he’s been set
up.”
“As far as he was concerned, it
was a series of accidental events
that built on each other ... and all
of a sudden it blew up and now
this woman wants to make a
federal case out of it,” said
Petrowitz.

A 29-year-old woman told
police she met Smith at a
fashionable Palm Beach, Fla.,
bar Easter weekend, and

accepted his invitation for a
nightcap at the Kennedy estate,
where he stripped to go
swimming and then raped her on
the beach.

but has refused police
interviews. He’s been given until
Friday to present his view of the
case to Palm Beach authorities.
Smith declined to comment
Wednesday.

Petrowitz said he thinks Smith
should make the trip to Palm
Beach: “It’s certainly in his best
interest to get down there and
tell his side. ... He has to
capitalize on his credibility as
much as he can.”

Petrowitz said Smith has
maintained his routine as a
fourth-year student at
Georgetown Medical School, but
was “just too upset” to complete
medical boards, three days after
the reported incident,

“He was so unhinged,” said
Petrowitz. “He gave it a try. He
sat for one day at the exam and
had to give it up.”

Petrowitz said Smith is not
bitter about media coverage: “I
think he’s realistic to understand
the Kennedy name is news. ... I
don’t think he feels vindictive
about anything.”

Police expect to finish witness
interviews Friday and make their
case to local prosecutors early
next week.

FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1991 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 13

By John Casale

“Everything is a total sham once you start to dig below
the surface,” sophomore Beth Nutter uttered as she sat
painlessly pondering a political perspectives manifesto
on an Alumni bus headed uptown. Nutter is one of many
commuting souls whose only viable means of
transportation is the SUNYA bus, which, if we dig below
the surface, is an intriguing, subtle social phenomena.

The belching, diesel breathing bus is a temporary
templet, a collective collage, a social sardine can
crammed with people of all possible personalities.
Digging yet deeper, this ponderous person holder is a
mobile microcosm of the multi-faceted student mass, a

throngs of people during the morning and afternoon
passenger blitzes to and from campus, testing the tempers
of each person. Mired amid folk of all feature and type,
one is forced to tolerate the intolerable, highfalutin
passengers full of boisterous banal banter. Such
clamorous chatter can cause the most sedated to
suddenly become surly. Senior Chris Kosic, referring his
daily bus ride as a transitory “haven” between
burdensome classes and a ho-hum home life, talked of a
time when his placid “peace of mind” was impeded upon
by a furiously flapping friend “who was definitely from
some borough of New York City.”

“This person kept gabbing about a recent date, making

vagabonds, beatniks, bohemians and businessmen “stiff -
with rigamortis” who line up for the buses down at the
comer of Lark Street and Washington Avenue.

One can not help but mention the odious olive tint
(that ghastly green sheen which coats half of the SUNY
buses) which is sickening to most students, who refer to
it as “dreary, nauseating, and hideous.”

Bus operator Mary Upton thinks “four out of every
five students are decent” people to drive and notes “the
wide variety of people who ride the bus” on a daily basis.
Despite a frequent chorus of complaints, Upton insists
that the buses “are pretty much always on schedule” and
reasons that operators such as herself have to sometimes

for the outlandish, likens the bus to a “lurking green
lizard (that) swallows you up and regurgitates you on the
equally depressing and repressive confines of campus.”

Equally melancholic in her assessment is junior Patrice
Dupperrouzel, who points out that a “grayness often
descends upon a confined bus crowd.”

“Everybody usually keeps to themselves and looks
straight ahead,” observed sophomore Jennifer King.

So - digging yet deeper, we find that the bus crowd is
more than what most perceive to be a muted monstrosity.
It is an unconventional forum of mundane philosophies,
Personal plights, and intermingling insights. Murphy,
Sitting aboard a downtown bound Wellington on a dreary
afternoon, lamented the loss of his personal identification
card, and complained of an unappealing, “unbridled,
male bashing feminist professor.”

During a conversation with his fellow cohorts,
sophomore Hue Hashemi became concerned with “the
future state of his summer job,” and then talked tirelessly
of Fountain Week. “They should open the fountain
earlier. Besides,” he added, “Fountain Day is stupid; we
wait twenty minutes for the president to speak and then
we watch a bunch of stupid idiots jump into the
fountain.”

Dupperrouzel, peering dreamily out a window on a
typically tightly packed afternoon bus, regretted the
cancellation of Albany’s annual spring sprawl, Party in
the Park. “I came to this college for (that) party,” she
quipped. “I think they have taken away a very positive
experience,” she mournfully added.

The cantankerous carriers are often teeming with

‘me want to grab her head and neck in order to make her
stop talking,” he confessed, adding that he felt
“completely relieved” upon her departure.

Sophomore Noelle Heintz loathes the belligerent and
“obnoxious Happy Hour crowd that likes to fight
everybody on the bus.”

Student Kate Farrell, an early morning weekend
Wellington commuter, is vexed by a particular “person
who always rides alongside of (her) on Saturdays, always
in a bubbly, effervescent stupor.” She added that such an
aggrandized state of euphoria “isn’t exactly a welcoming
sight so early in the morning.”

Sitting aboard the elephantine machines, one can
always overhear the endless surreal personal fables,
formed, fabricated, and emphatically conveyed to patient
patrons willing to listen. Hashemi swears that a weekend
bus driver once drove “like a Mach I racer, scaring the
shit out (its) passengers.”

Talking across an empty bus, senior Chris Meyers
spoke in horrific terms of a fellow cohort who “likes to
play cards in a cemetery as a dating activity” and owns a
very unclassical CD collection that contains the likes of
“Wilson Phillips and Freedom Rock.” His fellow crony,
student Rob Ayala, swears “he always rides a bus with
the same bus driver - no matter what time of day or
week.”

More horrifying than anything, according to junior
Paulette Vita, is the “fear of not finding a seat when
you're too short to grab onto the bars lining the ceiling of
the bus.” Both Vita and sophomore Allison Boak have
boarded a bus in the past in desperate need of a ticket,
having to resort to the “nerve wracking experience” of
asking “apathetic onlookers” for an extra ticket, Boak
also waxed eloquently when describing the various

'g0 by the inclement weather “and road conditions rather
than by the schedule.”

The buses continue to roll and the latent phenomena
continues aboard each bus as the masses assemble and
disassemble daily, most unknowingly a part of SUNY
Albany’s massive, moving melting pot.

The “lizard-like” Wellington crept slowly along
Washington Avenue giving a diesel choke and chortle;
“You see,” continued Murphy, “diplomacy is the art of
letting other people have your way...”

commencements?

Why the sudden wave of protest over graduation,
speakers? Barbara Bush was protested at Wellesley
College. Billy Joel at Fairfield High. Even Captain
[Kangaroo caused a stir. And now SUNYA has its own!
little stir over Turkish President Turgut Ozal.
It's suprising that the administration did not consider]
ithe effects of bringing such a controversial figure to}
Albany. Students are up in arms, especially those of|
‘Armenian, Cypriotic and Greek descent. The
community is outraged. And many are planning to|
boycott their own graduation ceremonies, which they
say will feature a man that leads a nation with one of the|
highest records of human rights violations.
If we can, let's try and find a positive side to all of|
this. The goal of a University should be to educate and|
raise awareness. And they've certainly achieved this.|
Suddenly, Central Council is passing resolutions against|
ja leader most students probably never heard of before.
People are thinking about human rights. They're
thinking about role models. Suddenly, the
icommencement speaker is not someone to ignore and
fall asleep to. It's someone to take notice of. It's
someone thought provoking.
But is this what we want graduation to be? True, part|
lof college is controversy and awareness. And perhaps}
ithe University has done some service to all by making
lus think, and realize the world around us. But is aj
graduation ceremony, a celebratory event, really the time|
ito be offending people? If a student has to boycott their|
lown ceremony, something seems very wrong.
By inviting such a controversial figure, attention has|
already begun to shift away from what the day is about:
students celebrating the conclusion of years of hard|
work. They deserve to have their day. Save Turgut Ozal
for another.

There's nothing wrong with bringing controversial]
figures to this campus; Several years ago this campus|
became energized and polarized by the visit of Louis,
Farrakhan. It was an incredible moment in this campus’
history.

The Turgut Ozals of this world should always have al
chance to speak on college campuses. That is what an|
educational institution's mission is: to inform, to provide}
lan exchange ideas and access to the bad as well as the
good in the world. If students are denied access to seeing
Turgut Ozal and the corresponding protests, then their]
education is incomplete.
But a graduation ceremony is not the right time to do
this. We urge President Swygert and the Board of

Trustees to reconsider their decision.
Summer date

rape workshops

Over the past year, the campus community has come|
together to make significant steps to educate students|
about the issue of date rape and in more general terms,
campus safety.

The University at Albany now finds itself at a|
crossroads. Will it take bold initiative and become a|
leader in developing model programs, such as more|
inclusive date rape workshops, or will it be satisfied|
with following the lead and hope some other institution|
spends the time and energy to develop their own|
program which we can try to copy?

The University has the chance to take such a bold]
initiative. The Sudent Association has formulated al
proposal to hold date rape workshops during each of the
‘Summer Orientation sessions. Done in relatively small
‘groups, all incoming freshmen will learn the facts about
date rape.

Fact: 70% of all rapes occur in the first three weeks}
‘of school, traditionally called "the honeymoon period.”
This is a time of confusion, anxiety, and difficult
pressures for incoming freshmen. For many, it is their]
first time away from their families. Students must be}
informed about what they should do if she/he is raped,
how to prevent it, and the laws surrounding the issue.
Fact: One in four women are raped during their|
college careers. It has been revealed the University at
Albany falls into this category. So many people will be|
helped if the University gets with the program. We urge|
the administration to work with SA and Middle Earth}
before the next honeymoon period is upon us.

COLUMN

a
Ofer itis,

Lack of communication is frustrating

* Editor's Note: This column is a continuation of the
column found in the April 30 issue of the ASP.

The first reform, agreed upon by many, seems fairly
frivolous on the surface - the name. On several campuses,
though, the very mention of SASU in front of those who
know anything about it will evoke immediate distrust
and, in extreme cases, hatred. Therefore, I shall refer to
the “old” SASU as SASU, and the proposed, reformed
SASU as “the Association.”

The basic structure and procedures of the Association
need desperately to be called into question. In order to
prevent future “SASU groupthink,” or introspective
SASU members blinding themselves to their own
problems, I propose that non-members and member
organizations be part of the Association’s Restructuring
Committee. In this way, Association members will be
able to learn why non-members don’t join, and what
needs to be changed. Delegates from a soon-to-be non-
SASU school supported this idea wholeheartedly when I

Darrin Brightman

brought it up to them at the April SUNY Assembly
conferences at Binghamton, and I feel that many others
will support it as well.

Non-members schools must also be taken into account
when operating decisions are made. Therefore, I propose
that an Executive Committee’s Advisory Board be
created. The board, which would meet monthly, via
conference calls, and remain in touch by computer
networking or FAX, would be made up of representatives
from the three (soon to be four) subunions (caucuses) of
SASU and SUNY Assembly; representatives from
several (not all) member schools; and representatives
from several non-member schools (in both member and
non-member cases, including state-operated and
community colleges). The exact number of
representatives and the method by which they will be
elected will be determined by the Restructuring
Committee; however, they will be equally representative
of members of non-members. This board will help the
Association to address the needs of the entire SUNY
system, and will also encourage non-members to join.

The Association will take up many duties which have
been neglected by SASU. First, the Association will
make itself known to and accessible to all students. Not
only must the Association be a highly visibility
organization, it must have the full support of the students
(after all, it exists both because of and for the students).
In order for the Association to be able to both learn
student concerns and disseminate information among the
student body rapidly, I have proposed the following
system: On each campus, a group with regular meetings
will be formed. These groups will function as others on
their campus, co-hosting activities with other groups and
participating in campus-level student government. These
groups will hold advertised, public meetings, where
Association-related issues will discussed, and any
student can voice his or her concerns. The Chair of each
of these groups - who, on member campuses, will hold
an Association delegate seat - will submit a biweekly
report of student concerns brought to his or her attention,
along with group events, including meeting minutes, to
the following: the local student government; the student
newspaper; the campus Student Life (or equivalent)
office; and the Association’s main office. If the Chair

SS SESS 15 ERE

fails to report for three consecutive periods or more than
five in any one semester without acceptable excuse, she
will lose delegate status, and the local group will elect a
new Chair. If the campus group fails, the Chair’s delegate
seat will remain vacant until such time as the group is
reorganized.

I propose that the representation of member campuses
at conferences be changed to accommodate this. Within
SASU, members have one delegate for each 3,500 Full-
Time Equivalent students (FTE). Association members
will have two representatives for the first 3,500 FTE (one
being the student government president or next in line of
succession, and the second being the Chair of the campus
group), and one additional seat for each additional 3,500
FTE. This will allow for a better representation of the
students on each campus.

Several aspects of SASU will remain in the
Association. First, it is independent. Unlike SUNY
Assembly (SUNY Central’s pet student government), it is

financially and politically independent of SUNY Central:..

the Trustees will be unable to tell the Association what
its structure will be, when and where it can meet, and
what it can and can’t do. These restrictions are already
placed upon the SUNY Assembly, which acts as the
Trustees’ greatest tool for promoting disunity among the
students (it’s too detailed to go into here - ask your
student government representatives, especially if they
went to the Binghamton conference!). SUNY Assembly
structure is set according to Trustee policy (see SUNY
Board of Trustees Policy, Article XVII). It can only be
changed by the agreement of the Trustees. According to
NYS law, no state agency can lobby another; therefore,
SUNY Assembly, being an extension of SUNY, can not
legally lobby NYS legislators!

These problems eventually lead to what student
government leaders term, “The SASU Question.” Should
the president of SUNY Assembly and SASU/Association
be one and the same, as has been since SUNY Assembly
was created by a wave of the Trustees’ magic wand
seventeen years ago?

It is my belief that, in order for both organizations to
be fully effective, the Association and SUNY Assembly
must have the same president. First, the SUNY
Assembly holds a voting seat on the SUNY Board of
Trustees. While the vote is essentially worthless, the
information the Trustees seat makes available is
priceless. Unfortunately, this is the only benefit of the
existence of SUNY Assembly.

The SUNY Assembly is designed to serve a
governance function within SUNY. This (is all) it is
capable of doing. The Association will serve an
advocacy function, bringing students concerns to the
attention of the NYS legislature and the Governor, In
order for the Association and Assembly to both be truly
Tepresentative in their functions, the two must work as
one.

The transformation of SASU into the Association it
was originally meant to be will a time-consuming and
difficult process. It will require the calling of an
emergency membership conference of the SUNY
Assembly and the Association during the summer, and
probably require three or four days of deliberation to
hammer out an effective, fair Association structure and
revised By-Laws. Once the Association becomes a stable
body, however, those of us who put out the effort to
create the change and make it work will certainly all
agree that it was worth it.

We won't forget

To the Editor:

I am writing on behalf of my family to express out
gratitude to your staff — and to the students and staff of
SUNY-Albany in general — for your great showing of
kindness and love upon the death of my sister Susan
Friedman,

A number of Sue’s friends came down to Mastic from
Albany last week to express their sympathy and their
own sorrow. All came bearing news of last Tuesday’s
memorial service for Sue, which they said drew three
hundred people. We were very, very moved.

All too often a family becomes caught up in the
planning and the arranging that surrounds the traditional,
all too impersonal way of “grieving.” That so many
students were touched enough by Sue and her work to
show up, tell stories, and allow laughter to mingle with
tears was comforting — and a most wonderful testimony
to my sister and her happy life. At the mass last Friday, I
mentioned that Sue would have preferred an Irish wake
to the circus of ceremonies that actually took place, i.e.,
hard drinking, hoarse singing, stumbling-dancing ala the
early Pogues. I am certain that she would’ve approved
highly of your memorial to her.

Sue was a strong voice and a strong person. It is
impossible for me to believe that all that energy simply
dissipated upon her death. Although our loss is very real
in one sense, I think that it is surely illusory in another,
for the power Sue had in life still exists; perhaps, as in
Harold and Maude, it has merely taken another form, like

Help is needed

To the Editor:

We would like to encourage all students living in the
Pine Hills neighborhood to participate in the annual
“Clean-up Day” scheduled for Saturday, May 11th from
8:30 am-12 noon. The Pine Hills Neighborhood
Association has set this date in consideration of the
academic calendar so off-campus students living in the
Pine Hills area can participate. This will be an excellent
opportunity for students to work side-by-side with their
neighbors to clean up the neighborhood.

For information or to volunteer, contact the Pine Hills
Neighborhood Association by calling one of the
following individuals:

-Marggie Skinner: 489-5311
-Henry M, Madej: 465-6161
-Virginia Hammer: 438-0195

If you have other questions, call the City of Alabany’s
Department of Public Works at 432-1144.

Greeks are commended

To the Editor:

All too often fraternities and sororities receive
attention because of negative images and stereotypes (i.e.
hazing, excessive alcohol usage, parties, etc.) that the
public associates with Greek organizations. As the
Director of Disabled Student Services, I want to publicly
commend the Inter Fraternity Council for their recent
fund raising efforts. Over $5,000 was raised for the
Disabled Student Scholarship Fund by the IFC and the
brothers of SIGMA NU.

All of the monies raised will be used to provide
scholarships for students with disabilities at the
University at Albany. The hand of friendship and
generosity has been extended to students with disabilities
on our campus. I am proud and pleased to have
witnessed this fine example of a Greek Community
Service Activity.

Special thanks to Jeffrey Weissman and Larry
Bortstein and the pledges of SIGMA NU for the
successful SEE SAW event. Many thanks to Craig
Snyder, Kevin Belzner and the IFC for making 1990-
1991 the most successful fund raising year yet for the
Disabled Student Scholarship Fund,

We look foward to many cooperative future efforts.
Thank you GREEKS for a job well done!

Speaker is inhumane

To the Editor:

The invitation extended to Turkey’s President Ozal, by
the SUNYA administration, to speak at the 1991
commencement ceremonies is an affront to Armenians,
Greeks, Cypriots, Kurds and all members of the Capital
District’s human rights community. I am a graduating
senior who is boycotting the graduation ceremony
because, as an Armenian, I can not attend a ceremony in
which the key note speaker is the leader of a country that
refuses to accept responsibility for the massacre of 1.5
million Armenians between 1915-1923. I have worked
hard for four years, and the choice of speaker by the

other peoples who have suffered human rights and civil
rights violations under the Turkish government. Turkey
has one of the worst human rights records in the world,
yet this administration chooses to honor its leader with a
doctorate in Humane Letters! His appearance directly
violates the principles of “Just Community” that the
administration purports to pursue. This is not an issue of
free speech, I have and always will respect the right of
Turgut Ozal to speak, but not at here at SUNYA. I find it

unbelievable that my fight for human rights and the
struggle for a “Just Community” must take place at my
own graduation. I cannot understand why the president
of this institution would support such a hypocrisy.
President Swygert, how would you have liked F.W.
DeKlerk to have delivered your keynote address at
Howard? I think you would be outside picketing just like
me. Graduation is for the students, please, let us keep it
that way.

Educate incoming frosh

To the Editor:

The Student Association of the University at Albany
strongly urges the University’s Office of Orientation to
assist us in the formation of a series of date-rape
workshops to be held during each of the upcoming
summer orientation sessions for new students.

It is imperative for the University to get behind this
Project immediately in order to have enough time to
organize this program, which is intended to educate are
incoming students about date-rape and sexual
harassment.

It is URGENT because 70% of all rapes occur in the
first three weeks of school, a time commonly referred to
as the ‘honeymoon period.”

It is urgent because of this appalling statistic and others
which show that one in four women are raped during
their college careers. Middle Earth has confirmed the
University at Albany falls with in this category.

For frosh, college may be the first extended experience
away from home, and it is certainly a period of exposure
to a variety of pressures, uncertainty and anxiety. This
makes frosh especially vulnerable.

The primary purpose of this program is to inform
students about date rape awareness, prevention, what to
do if a student feels she/he has been raped, and the laws
concerning date rape.

The program should be seen as a positive step taken by
the University towards education, and is not intended as
a negative reflection on the University. z

For example, a Comell University study shows a 450%
increase in reporting to campus authorities after the
program was presented. Approximately 17% of the
Teports concerning incidents which had occurred two or
more years prior to the program’s presentation,
indicating the increased number of reports were due to
EDUCATION.

The University administration must recognize the
overriding need for a comprehensive date-rape/sexual
harassment program for all entering students. The facts
are in; now it is the time to get to work and educate the

students when it is most crucial - before the next
honeymoon period, before more fellow SUNYA students

become statistics. No excuses. Just do it.

A formal proposal outlining such a program was sent
to Mary Schimley at the Office of Orientation several
weeks ago. We have received no response. We are
concerned the sense of urgency of such a program has
been lost on the administration. Let’s hope this is not the
case.
