‘Although the recent five percent budget
cuts for Student, Association funded
Groups is due largely to athletic teams
overspending, the'reason behind it is far
“Jess grim than its results.
According to Mark Rivers, chair of the
Intercollegiate Athletic Committee of Cen-
tral Council one of the main reasons for
the approximately $7743 overspending is
that more teams made it to the finals than
were expected to. Ten thousand dollars
was allocated to the post-season con-
tingency fund, which is used when teams
qualify. for the finals. So many teams
qualified for post-season play said Rivers,
that $15,313 was spent, leaving a $5,313
deficit in the post-season contingency
fund.
According to SA Controller Eric
Schwartzman, the extra money was spent
gainst the general SA banking
ascount."*
Men's Varsity basketball coach, Dick
Sauers, said that the National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) has reim-
bursed the teams for post-season play in
the past, but now the women's division II]
basketball team also has a post-season
tournament and theNCAA cannot afford
to reimburse. the teams 4a‘ more. ‘The
team cannot be denied attending the
playoffs,”* said Sauers:.
According to Schwartzman, another
cause for-the deficit is inflation in food
prices.
“The teams are budgeted a certain
amount of money for each meal. At mid-
year there became a need to increase the
per diem. When the team’s money
allowance was increased, the appropriated
fund was not increased,’’ said
‘Schwartzman.
When asked why they took the risk of
creating a deficit, Schwartzman said, “It
“We are going to
keep better tabs with
the teams this
year. ..””

Winning teams key to SA deficit
"TANIA STEELE UPS,
was something we felt was unavoidabl
‘The lack of gate ticket sales was another
cause for the deficit. According to the
schedule of receipts and expenditures from
the. athletic. advisory board activities,
$6,000 was estimated for gate receipts and
only $5,290 was taken in, leaving a $710
deficit. “We over-anticipated what gate
receipts would be,’* explained Rivers.
‘According to varsity baseball coach Ed.
Zaloom, the baseball team overspent their
budget because ‘!when baseball is schedul-
ed, you figure for, a few rainouts..Two.
years ago twenty-eight games .were
scheduled and orily twenty-three were
played. Last year twenty,severi games were
scheduled and twenty-six were played, so
more money was needed than anticipated,
We just got lucky as far as weather was
concemed. We had a nice Spring in
Albany last year." ,
The athletic over-spending created “a
deficit in the SA budget leat year, and, as a
result, SA was forced to cut funded
groups’ budget spending lines by 5 percent
this year and income lines by 3 percent.
The athletic fund was not cut.
According to Schwartzman, the reason
is that athletic teams receive a separate
portion of money from the Student Activi-
ty fund, The athletic budget is controlled
by the SUNY Board of Trustees, while SA.
controls the budgets of other campus
groups.
“If we cut one basketball game it
doesn’t only affect SUNYA. SUNY all
conference doesn’t. want one game to mess
up the ‘entire schedule,’’ said
Schwartzman.
‘When asked how a deficit will be avoid-
ed this year, Rivers said, ‘We are going to
keep better tabs with the teams this year
and work closer with them so we know
when they are coming close to overspen-
ding their budget. Then we can help them
out.'” a

finds misused
sabbaticals
Albany, N.Y.
(AP) SUNY’s sabbatical leave program
and the financial controls at one of its
colleges in Syracuse have been criticized
in audits issued by State Comptroller
Edward Regan.
Regan said last Thursday that some
SUNY academic and administrative
‘employees were taking sabbatical leaves
improperly by not meeting all condi-
tions of the program.
The leave policy allows employees to
take off a year at half their normal
salary or a half year at full pay to travel,
study, do research or write, During the
two academic years ending June 30,
1984, SUNY spent $18.5 million to pay
yaa employees on leave, the audit
"Tho audh found dist 14 employees
failed to return (o SUNY for at least one
year after their leaves, in violation of
SUNY policy, but no attempt was made
to recover their sabbatical salaries of
$228,000.
In addition, the audit said that: five
employees were granted leaves even
though the required six years hadn't
lapsed since their last sabbatical leaves,
23 were granted leaves based on vague
roposals, 34 performed activities on

their approved activities, and 12 failed
to accomplish their leave objectives
because they became sick,

Quad walks shed light on dangerous areas
By Olivia Abel
‘To promote and improve campus safety,
Student Association is conducting
“lighting walks’ around each quad to in-
spect the safest and most dangerous places
to be at night,
‘SA Media Director, Doug Tuttle, led
about 20 students around Indian Quad
‘Thursday night, pointing out areas that
should be avoided and noting things that
the University could do to improve campus
safety.
Major suggestions included fixing
broken: lights and making existing lights
brighter, removing large bushes and trees
along the path to the parking lot and in-
stalling more emergency blue light phones
on Perimeter Road.
Although not much of Indian Quad is
brightly lit, the Indian Quad parking lot
and Perimeter Road area surrounding the
quad is considered one of the most unsafe
places on campus, according to Tuttle,
There is only one blue light emergency
phone in the parking lot and it is located
close to the quad. Tuttle suggested that it
should be placed closer to Perimeter Road,
and most of the students on the walk
agreed.
‘The soccer field behind Indian Quad is
also considered a potentially dangerous
area, said Tuttle. Students often walk
through the field at night returning from
hang-outs like Sutters and Across
the Street Pub. One student described it as
“walking through total darkness."
According to Tuttle, ‘attacks occur
much less frequently when women are
together in lighted areas.’’ Tuttle also suid
that the more students who get involved,
the greater the chance the administration
will do something about he lighting issue. .
There has already been a lighting “walk
on State Quad and all the remaining
quads, including Alumni will be toured in
the near future, said Tuttle. On Monday,
October 28, the Women’s Safety Task
Force will lead a walk of the entire
campus.
“We're trying to add a sense of urgency
to improve lighting on campus. We want
the university to reevaluate its priorities so
that projects that are now nine years down
the road get consideration now. We want
the lighting more closely monitored and
the lights reparied more quickly,” aid
Tuttle,
Students who participated on the walk
agreed that it was helpful and informative.
Gretchen Saborit, a first year student liv-
ing on Indian Quad, said she participated
in the walk because she ‘wanted to know
Studente partlolpating In Indian Quad lighting walk
Women's safety cited in effort to coordinate lighting.
where to walk and where not to walk and
to make my job as an escort easier."
Saborit is a member of the “Don’t Walk
Alone” student escort service.
D.J. Barish, who is also involved in the
“Don't Walk Alone" program, said she
participated in the walk because she
wanted “to improve the safety of the
campus."
Betty Ginzbergy SA Director of Student
Programming, helped to organize the
walk, and stressed the fact that ‘especially
women should never walk alone," Ginz~
berg, who is actively involved in the
‘Women’s Safety Task Force said she feels
that ‘because of Karen Wilson people will
take this issue more seriously."” Wilson, a
SUNYA student, disappeared over six
months ago.
While Ginzberg quoted an ad-
ministrative official who said that there
had never been a rape on Indian Quad, she
said she feels that improvement is needed
on the campus to insure that there never is.
Ginzberg said she wants to make
students aware of Women's Safety
Awareness Day on Nomvember 7. The
theme of the event will be “Living Safely
in an Unsafe World,” and will include a
variety of workshops and events.
It is very important for first-year
students to attend the event because there
will be a special section devoted to rela-
tionships, said Ginzberg, and many frosh
“may be dealing with sexual relationships
for the first time." ia)

Students offer varied views on divestment
By Pam Conway
‘STAFF WRITER
‘Students had the chance to express their
Support for divestment last week, but not
all chose to do so...
‘Student Action Committee chair Larry
‘Hartman coordinated a letter-writing cam-
paign on quad cafeteria dinner lines last
Monday and Tuesday, which allowed
students to write to Senate Majority
Leader Warren Anderson asking for state
divestment.
The majority of those who wrote leters
agreed with Colonial Quad resident Sam
Rosen, who said, “‘I don’t know too many
of the details but 1 know the situation there
(in South Africa) is horrible. I wrote a let-
ter basically to make a statement.”
Deborah Reuben, a junior from Dutch
Quad, said apartheid is ‘‘unfair to the
black majority who are persecuted and
face oppression just because of their
race,””
“Our country is supposed to represent
freedom and equality, therefore | feel it is
our duty to set an example for other coun-
tries through divestment," said Reuben.
The majority of the students in the
cafeteria, however seemed uninterested,
and when asked if they would like to write
Ee
Lary Hartman
letter in favor of state divestment, many
answered, “Didn't we divest already?”
But those who did participate were con-
cerned about how they could help in the
fight against apartheid,
Marc Musman, a freshman from Dutch
Quad: said ‘that “racial discrimination is
wrong and-I feel that divestment could
force the.South African government to
change its position, even if they are chang-
ing for the wrong reason.’
Although in support of state divestment,
Sophomore Jeanne Benecke “from State
Quad said that she doubted her letter
would be effective, ‘From what I hear, the
chances of the divestment ill passing in
the Senate are pretty slim,, but writing a
letter can’t hurt,"” said Benecke,
While all students seemed to be opposed
to apartheid, not all felt that state divest-
‘ment was the answer.
Senior Jeff Viezel from Dutch Quad
said that he was planning to write a letter
to the Senate against state divestment
‘because he felt the action would be ‘too
indirect. A company the size of IBM could
easily resell its stocks. Economic sanctions
would be a beter method because it has a
direct effect on the government."
Although Viezel opposes divestment, he
said that he supports as letter-writing cam-
paign because, “it lets people say what
they feel and to show that they are inform-
ed, unlike a petition which people will sign
even if they don’t know what they're sign-
ing for.”
Freshman Larry Glass from Dutch
Quad said that divestment is not the right
course of action in opposing apartheid,
saying “If we divest, it will only hurt those
we are trying to help. The South African
government will take it out on the blacks
and treat them worse economically.”*
Offering an alternative to divestment,
Glass said that students should “write to
Congress and their local officials asking
them to put governmental, not economic
pressure on South Africa.’
But, senior Da. id Bucci from Colonial
Quad disagreed, ‘New York is like a large
corporation and can put its money into
different places. New Jersey divested and
is now investing its money wisely,”’ he
said,
Divestment would pressure the South
African government to change their
policies by ‘‘cutting off their cash flow,
and weakening their economic base,’ said
Bucci,
Freshman Eileen Murphy from State
Quad said that although she was unsure of
her position on the issue, ‘‘students should
get involved, Writing letters is a good thing
but knowledge of an issue is involvement

SUNYA gets $860,000 for defense research
By Ken Dornbaum
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
‘Among the over twenty million dollars
the University receives as research awards
from various sources, almost $860,000
originated as grants from the Department
of Defense, according to Frank DiSahto,
SUNYA’s Director’ of the Office of
Research.
“None of these research contracts from
the military is classified,"’ said DiSanto,
adding- ‘we: don't do any classified
research would be too difficult to do at a
university since it would beitoo hard to
maintain secrecy because of the need of
faculty members to print,"” he said.
“We do the same type of research done
at schools like Siena (College) and RPI
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute). Most of
these monies come from Air Force and
Naval Research,” said DiSanto, who ad
ed that the funds were dispersed to several
departments, mainly in the field of the
sciences.
‘The grants are unsolicited grants recei
ed by faculty members, said DiSanto,
“The monies from the grants are used to
support graduate and undergraduaste
salaries, supplies and other costs con-
nected with the research,"’ he said.
An official at RPI refused to divulge the
amount of monies received from the
military nor the ratio of such funds com-
pared to the toal amount of grant funds
received, He did comment, however, that
RPI did receive more than SUNYA.
“The grants are established under the
name of the faculty member,” said DiSan-
to. ‘This is the policy for each grant," he
added.
“Certain organizations, like Naval
Research, have interests similar to the Na-
tional Science Foundatiuon,”” explained
DiSanto, adding that a faculty member
will send out his or her grant proposal to
various foundations, not just a.single one.
‘Among the professors who receive
research funds from the military are
William Lanford and Walter Roth, both
of the Physics Department. Neither could
be reached for comment,
Some students, however, said they
believe the University should not accept
military grants,
Claudia Meyer, a senior who is on the
steering commmittee of the Gay and Les-
bian Alliance (GALA) said, ‘I think the
fact that they are on campus is unknown."
“1 don’t think it’s a big issue," Meyer
added, “but it is wrong to take money
from places that don’t ascribe to
humanitarian principles."
“‘As long as there is a policy against
discrimination on this campus based on
sexual preference, I think it would be il-
legal for the Unviersity to accept a contract
that is discriminatory against homosexual
people,” said Meyer.
Stacey Young, a SUNYA. graduate,
said, “I’m concerned about the increasing
ties between universities and the military
around the nation." The military-
industrial complex, she said, “‘has pervad-
ed all aspects of our society so thoroughly
that we become numb to the effect that it
has.
“We must keep in mind that the
military's business revolves arund war and
death," said Young, adding that “we need
to think critically about whether we want
to play a role in that, however innocuous
that role may appear to be.
Young is working on campus as the pro-
ject coordinator of the New York Public
Interest Research Group. She stressed,
however, that NYPIRG does not have a
stand on the issue and her comments were
ony her own opinions. a
Career Day may open doors
By Andrea Corson
STAFE WRITER
SUNYA's business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi,
will act as matchmaker Wednesday by helping to
pair students with prospective employers at Career
Day to be held in the Campus Center Ballroom
Wednesday.
Companies to be represented include AT&T, the
Albany Medical Center, J.C. Penny, the Office of
State Comptroller, IBM, NBC, Sperry Univac and
the N.Y. State Department of Social Services, ac-
cording to Jane Carlos, a member of Delta Sigma
Pi and co-chair of the event.
Carlos said that one of Delta Sigma Pi's objec-
tives is to get as many different companies as possi-
ble in order to make the event more diverse, ‘‘We
are offering this as a service to the entire communi-
ty,” she said.
“We are helping students to find out about life
after the Unviersity,”” Carlos added,
Carlos said that there are many jobs available
within any one company, but she is not sure what
positions firms are scouting for. For example, she
said, Albany Medical Center may be looking for
anyone from hospital administrators to lab techni-
cians to researchers. ‘They need someone for
everything,” she remarked,
NBC is a company which has a diverse number of
Job opportunities, as well, Carlos said. Other com-
panies like Arthur Anderson may be looking for ac-
countants as well as people with management or
marketing backgrounds, she added.
In addition to business companies, there will be
government groups like the Navy, Army, Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the State Department of
Social Services, and the. Library of Congress
represented also, Carlos s
“*| like to think the fact that companies come,’*
to events like Career Day, ‘‘is the way we address
our. opening letters,"’ said Carlos.
Delta Sigma Pi stresses that Albany students are
intelligent and would be a benefit to any company.
“We receive a quality education at SUNYA,"
Carlos said.
“Getting more firms to recruit means we are
helping to get more students careers,"’ Carlos said,
addi “we look at firms that would interest our
students as well as firms that would be interested in
our students."”
The Career Development Center, suggested
Carlos, can also help a student get in touch with a
particular company. The Center has manuals which
contain hundreds of firms, their areas of interest,
their locations and phone numbers. ‘Mailings are
the best way to meet them,’ she said.
Career Development Center Assistant Director
Gwen Simmons said her office would not be setting
up a table for Career Day beause of a scheduling
conflict.
“However, some of the counselors will go over
and greet the companies, but we won't be operating
there on a formal ba: ‘Simmons said.
‘The University does not sponsor a career day of
its own and Simmons said she feels that a second
event is not needed, “They should try to build that
‘one instead of having theirs scatttered throughout
the year,"" she added,
Carlos said that she was told that the Career
Development Center would have a table set up, like
they have had in the past, as a service to students. 1)

Gawley and Alvaro: answer
questions on grouper law
By Roz Bickel *
Student Association President Steve
Gawley and the Albany City Director of
Code Enforcement’ Michael Alvaro
directed a discussion of the grouper law
Thursday night for about 30 Albany
residents.
Gawley and Alvaro, who is in charge of
enforcing the grouper laws, took turns
answering questions from concerned
residents and explaining their policies
toward student housing.
The grouper law forbids more than three
unrelated persons from living in the same
housing unit.
The meeting, held at St. Vincent’s Com-
munity Center, was sponsored by the Pine
Hills Neighborhood Association.
Mainly, people at the meeting wanted to
know what was being done in enforcing
the grouper law. One after another
residents who live in student housing
neighborhoods registered their complaints.
‘One woman complained of the noise, one
complained of the trash in the street,
another complained of parking problems.
‘As SA President, Gawley said he was
aware of the problems and that ‘‘the time
has come to do somethii
ing community relations wi
Gawley added that,
tonight to say things have totally improved
— we're trying to get these things going in
a positive direction,”
Amidst frequent interruptions from
residents, Gawley explained what SA has
been trying to do to improve relations in
the community, and what has been done to
find a solution for the students who will
soon be affected by the grouper law.
“Something has to be done,” Gawley said,
“and we're just asking that you give us a
little time for our programs to get going.”
Because of the threat the grouper law
poses to many students, who could be
kicked out of their houses, Gawley said SA
has been pushing for the construction of
the new dormitory that will house up to
400 students and which should be up by
fall of 1987. The new dorm will be built on
Fuller Road.
SA is also in favor of the “Matchmaker
Project,” in which students are matched
with neighborhood residents who have an
empty room to rent. _
A “University As A Neighbor” commit-
teevhas been set up to aid communication
between residents and the University and
to deal with student housing problems in
the community. ““The University is making
an effort. We see, feel, and hear more than
a Grouper Law coming up and we're try-
ing right now to correct things before that
happens," said Gawley.
The programs initiated, Gawley said,
need time before they can really be effec-
tive. ‘Students are violating the Grouper
Law right now, but it’s not by choice. For
some there is no alternative but to violate
it,”” he said. “There is a problem with
housing, the dorms are at 103 percent
capacity, many students just have no
choice.””
The solution, Gawley said, is to ‘‘allow
for us to get our alternative housing pro-
grams started before kicking students out
on the street.”” In addition, he said, SA has
been reminding the University of its pro-
mise not to increase enrollment next year.
“We know we haven’t touched reality
yet," Gawley said, “but we are trying. The
time has come. You're tired, we're tired,
we want to get it worked out.”?
Gawley was addressing many residents
who feel the only alternative to getting
theif problems with students solved is strict
enforcement of the Grouper Law. “The
main criminals are the landlords,"’ said
one resident atthe meeting, “but that

Non-alcoholic programs to
be explored by task force
By Melissa Knoll
If you're wondering how you'll
entertain yourself after the im-
plementation of “21,” the Task
Force on Non-Alcoholic Pro- fF
gramming.may be able to help
you.
The task force, which met for
the first time last Thursday, was
formed by Student. Associ
with the purpose of discu:
ideas. for non-alcohol related
activities.
Nine out of the 15 members of
the Task Force discussed issues
concerning the increased drinking
age. ‘I've asked them all:to serve
‘on the committee so we can com-
bine resources,” said SA Director
of Student Programming, Betty
Ginzberg.
The committees involved in-
clude SA, the Office of Student
Affairs, the Intercollegiate
Athletic Committee (ICA
dent Acitivities, University Aux-
iliary Services (UAS), Residential
Life, the Athletic Department,
Interquad Council, Minority
Group leaders, Alumni House,
and the Spirit Committee.
Not only was there a diversity
of groups invited to participate,
but the program,
with their
s, Ginzberg said,
‘everybody was extremely
responsive. They took it very
seriously. This is a really good ex-
ample of how we're combining
resources because we're
concerned.'*
SA President Steve Gawley said
that the idea to begin a student-

Betty Ginzberg
initiated program started ‘when
we saw that the University wasn’t
going to act on the need for non-
alcohol programming ideas." He
added that ‘we're not going to
gamble with Student Activity fee
money. Down the road, creating
non-alcoholic programs is going
to cost more money."”
Mark Rivers, chair of ICAC,
said that athletic events this year
will be free. “‘As far as I have a
say in it there will never be a
charge for a game," he said. In
the future, there will not be
budgeting or gate receipts for
athletic events, he added.
“The way athletes can bridge
the gap is by providing an alter-
native to those who can’t drink
and those who can drink, also,"
said Rivers.

Anti-Apartheid Day
Due to publicity problems, the NYPIRG
Divestment Project’s Anti-Apartheid Day,
held last Friday, attracted few people at its
events in the Rat, said co-chairs Rob Gullo
and Gary Sealey.
“The event was part of National Anti-
Apartheid Day which was established by
the American Committee on Africa, a New
York City based group,” they said. A
film, Generations of Resistance, which
highlights the history of apartheid, was
shown and was followed by student
speakers who discussed divestment and the
istory of apartheid,” they said,
‘uture events include a pledge drive
against South Africa, and on November 1,
the National Student Conference on South
Africa and Namibia will be meeting at
Hunter College.’* The two added that they
plan on bringing ds many people as
possible.
Volunteers needed
‘The Teresian House Nursing Home is
looking for volunteers to provi iety
of different services.
Volunteers are needed to work in their
country store, visit residents who have no
families, walk with residents, transport
residents to various therapies within the
home and provide other services to the
residents,
‘The home is located as 200 Washington
Avenue Extension. For more information

SA registers 4,100
According to Student Action Committee
chair Larry Hartman the committee has
registered 4100 students to vote. He
‘estimated that NYPIRG registered an ad-
ditional 200 to 300 votes.
“In a non-presidential election year this
has to be termed a success,” Hartman
said, He explained that registration was
Student Action’s ‘utmost priority” from
the beginning of the semester until the
deailline Friday, October 11. 2
Student Action’s next major goal is “to
get ‘people to vote on election day,” said
Hartman. He said that a “‘Meet the Can-
didates Night” will be held on Sunday,
November 3, at 7:30 p.m. in the Campus
Center Ballroom. ‘Publicity about where
to vote will be available on every quad,”
said Hartman. He added that election day
they will be going door-to-door to remind
students to vote,
Information moves
The information office in the gym has
been moved to the center of the building
near the vending machines.
‘According to Andrew Schoenfeld, com-
missioner of intramurals the information
office was moved to it’s new location
“because it is bigger.” Schoenfeld explain-
ed that the information desk was formerly
the intramural office.
The intramural office is now located in
room B-109 near the. women’s locker
room. Schoenfeld said that the new office
is ‘‘a little bit inaccessible."* He added that
the move may have hurt the intramural
program because people have trouble fin-
ding the office and it currently has no
phone.
Editor still sought
Although the deadline for applicatioris
for the Minority Affairs Editor/of the
Albany Student Press was last Friday, the
position is still open, said Heidi Gralla,
editor-in-chief of the ASP,
“We haven't chosen anyone yet," said
Gralla who added that several applications
have been received. “We are still accepting
applications for anyone who expressed in-
terest prior to the deadline or who can pro-
idequate justification for a late

Students who get hungry while
they're studying at night no.
longer have to order out for food
and wait a half hour for it to
arrive. Instead, University Aux-
iliary Services now offers a more
varied menu at their cafeteria sub
shops on weeknights.
Starting this week, UAS will be
selling croissants, fresh fruit, and
bagels at sub shops, in addition to
the current fare of soda, pretzels,
potato chips, and submarine
sandwiches, said UAS General
Manager E. Norbert Zahm.
Jobs are provided for 15 to 20
students through the sub shops,
according to UAS Director of
Food Service Ronnie Clough.
Phil DiGiorgio, one of the
students who works for the Dutch
Quad sub shop, said the sub
shops provide an important ser-
vice to the students. “I think it’s a
good idea. It's convenient for
students and provides jobs for
students. It’s run pretty well, and*
everything’s organized, and the
food's fresh every day. I think it’s
a good ide he said.
Zahm said that UAS is ‘very
responsive to new products,"” and
that the new items, which have
been requested by students, will
not only bring more business, but
will also add a greater variety to
the sub shops. .
'We think they ‘(sub shops)
have been very successful. It
started seven years ago as a pilot
project. The students were very
enthusiastic and we’ve had them
Because not many students
know about the sub shops, UAS
has also been trying to publicize
the service with table tefits in the
dining halls and ads in the Albany
‘Student Press Zahm said.
The sub shops on. the uptown
ni Quad, the sub shops are open
from 9pm to, midnight on Mon-
days through Thursdays, and
8pm to midnight on Sundays.
Business is generally very good
and consistent, said Clough, ad-
ding that the sub shops do better
in poor weather because students
stay on campus when the weather
is*bad.
The sub shop on Alumni Quad
does just as well as the uptwon
campus sub shops, added Zahm,
saying all of the sub shops pay for
themselves.
Clough stressed the conve-
nience of the sub shops and said
that UAS tries “'to be competitive
in price and product." He added
that the sub shops are “profitable
and provide a service to students
they otherwise wouldn't
have . . . I believe its a good ser-
vice to the student.””
UAS will be offering specials in
the sub shops, both this week and
in the future. Both Zahm and
Clough would not comment on
the specials in order not to ‘ruin
the surprise,”” but they did say
that the specials would be adver-
tised and will be beneficial to
students.
The subs offered are:
vegetable, roast beef, mixed,
turkey, ham, tuna,
bologna, and salami, Prices range
from $1.60 to $3.10 and can in-
clude various toppings as well.
Soda sells for 45 cents, and
chips are 25 cents. Fresh frult and
granola will be 50 cents, The new
croissant sandwiches come in
almost es many varieties as the
Sub shop worker
‘More varied menu being offered
sub sandwiches and are priced

“I didn’t even know about
them (sub shops),"’ said one stu-
dent, “but I like the idea, It
sounds a lot easier than ordering

Publishing ban inspires petitions
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE— Some
campuses may pull out of one of
the largest university research
bonanzas in American history if the
Reagan administration's recent
hints that it will stop professors
from publishing their research
results prove true; an official of a
national administrator's group
warns.
In October, the government will
begin pumping another $600
million into university research labs
that help it research new Star Wars
weaponry,
The controversial project ~ for-
mally called the Strategic Defense
Initiative (SDI) ~ would put lasers
and other high-tech weapons into
space to shoot down Soviet missiles
in the event of an attack.
Petitions in which university
researchers promise not to solicit or
accept Star Wars research funds are
being circulated at more than three
dozen campuses this month.
The petitions protest the SDI on
political grounds, and because the
research contracts may restrict the
publication of research funded by
Star Wars grants.
Scientists seem most worried
about the publication issue.
“The worst case scenario would
be that dozens of universities would
be forced to pass on Star Wars fun-
ding because the restrictions would
violate their policies against con-
ducting classified or secret
research,” said Jack Crowley, who
monitors federal research funding
for the American Association of
Universities.
Initially, SDI officials insisted all
university funding would be for
fundamental research. Professors
‘and graduate students thus would
be free to publish the results of their
work.
‘Then in August, SDI university
research director Jim lonson issued
a memorandum reaffirming that
position, yet adding research on
operational capabilities and perfor-
que and critical” to defense pro-

Schools also are worried about
recent statements by SDI director
Lt. Gen. James Abrahamson, who
said in July that all SDI research
will be subject’ to “sensitivity
checks.”
If SDI decides certain research is
“just really amazingly important"?
and that it was “absolutely critical
the Russians don’t get it," it would
bbe classified, Abrahamson told The
Institute, the newsletter of the In-
stitute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers.
In other words, SDI could decide
to classify all the research even after
it promised to treat it as non-secret,
The restrictions “‘would give rise
to even more tension within any
campus over whether individual
professors should be doing SDI
research,” Smith predicted,
Star Wars already has triggered
the most vociferous debate over
federal funding of university
research since the Vietnam War.
At the time, most large research
universities prohibited their faculty
from conducting classified
resea’, Smith says.
Secret research is best left to in-
dustry, university officials conclud-
ed, because academic freedom re-
quires the results of scientific
research be available to all.
The petitions now protesting ad-
ministration efforts to force schools
to violate the anti-secret research
policies began at the University of
Minois.
“It's absolutely unprecedented
for researchers to agree not to a
cept research funds like this," said
IMinois assistant physiology pro-
fessor Eric Jakobsson, one of those
who started the petition drive.
Earlier this year, the federal Na-
tional Science Foundation pro-
hibited four universities ‘with NSF-
funded supercomputer centers from
allowing Russian and Eastern Buro-
pean scientists. to use the
computers,
After Cornell and Illinois of-
ficials refused to accept the restric-
tions, the NSF withdrew the ban in
July, pending a study of the issue.
“The whole thrust lof this ad-
ministration is to increase the level
of restrictions on all sorts of
research," Jakobsson charged.

Jakobsson said, because it's #0 big.

“Twenty percent of all food bought to-

“We'd hope that spare, uncooked food
could be donated to food banks who
would be willing to pick-up unused food
from UAS and destribute them to local
emergency food pantries,’’ said
Longobucco.
One student said that UAS workers only
use the centers of bread loaves and throw
out the end pieces because they are too
small, If all that bread could be saved and
donated, local hunger would be somewhat
alleviated, she added.
Referring to student eating habits on
campus, Longobucco said, ‘‘In light of the
hunger in our world and our community, it
is wrong to leave half a tray of food un-
wanted when it could mean so much to so
many.”
Citing current food stamps proposals in
Washington, Longobucco said, ‘Food
Stamps provide a diet that is below the
U.S. recommended daily levels of nutri-

hungry at least one day a month,” adding
that, “This is the program that the Senate

‘A Chorus Line has been playing on
Broadway for eleven years now. The show
is a Manhattan staple, a legend in its own
time, But why? It's an enjoyable show,
granted, but better musicals have opened
and closed while the line at the Shubert
Theatre, and now Proctor’s, continues
kicking up its heels.
Perhaps the simplicity which
underscores the entire production makes
the show tick, The story is simple enough:
A group of nearly twenty dancers dying
for a precious few spots in the chorus of a
Broadway show audition for a casting
director, For two hours they dance, sing,
and describe themselves,
In the end, who earns the jobs and who
doesn’t proves not nearly as important as
the challenge. The casting director selects
the dancers based solely on talent and per-
sonality, The audience is left wondering
why those who weren't chosen failed the
test. The majority of the dancers were
superior. What gave those selected the
edge? We never find out.
‘A Chorus Line takes place in 1975, and
this time frame remains. Therefore, when a
dancer says she was born in 1945, the
assumption is she’s forty years old, A forty
year old dancer? There are only so many
Ann Millers on this earth, so A Chorus
Line loses a degree of truth,
‘On the other hand, the play is timeless.
It’s 1985, and still the only line a dancer can
count on in the theatre business is the
unemployment line, Thus, the problems
the various dancers mention still ring true
today. Also, in 1975, when the play
premiered, it was ahead of its time, The

The Proctors version was neatly iden-
tical to the Broadway production. Though
the Proctors’ stage was smaller than the
Shubert’s, this actually permitted more in-
timacy, The lighting was also effective,
particularly during solos, when a colored
light or spotlight set off an actor's face or
body. The large mirror at the back of the
stage reflected the dancers, as well asa

Acting is A Chorus Line's greatest at-

Herzlich,

Perhaps the best performance of the

Mike Dermansky
A community troupe is, for the
first time, presenting an origianl. work,
Theater Row, a comedy written by native
Albanian Ross Alexander; Albert Aserme-
ly, a theatre professor at SUNYA, is direc-
ting a cast which includes three SUNY
students: Marcelle Langan, Richard
Weidert, and Kolette K. Stim. Helene Ross,
a graduate student who teaches two
theatre classes, is also in the cast.
When asked how he got involved with
the play, Asermely answered, “I had done
a stage reading in New York two years
‘ago. A play similar to’it opened off Broad-
way (Noises Off), which held up its pro-
duction, That play has closed, so I see this
play moving on.”
‘The fact that there are so many SUNYA
students in the cast is unrelated to
Asermely’s irivolvement. “The cast was
selected by a casting committee, The audi-
tions were open call, with over 20 people
trying out for each part," he explained,
Assistant director, Ross Meyerson, a one
year graduate of SUNYA, ‘spoke of the
play as a super vehicle to get outside the
university. “This is what an actor's resume
is made up of. It is hard to get work, and
this is '‘f btep towards regional exposure.”
Meyerson is founder of a traveling com-
pany, The Altemate Theatre, which
recruites SUNYA students.
Helene Ross commented on how very
professional the SUNYA students trying
out appeared, “They said they have never
seen so many. I'd like to say I have lots of
talented kids in my beginning theatre
classes and would like to see them branch
‘out, get a feel for the acting world, There is
more and more theatre, especially for
SUNYA students and new playwrites.”

Richard Weidert also enjoys the

“But how wilt we know if you made it or not?”
“f I'm not back in four days, assume I am dead and send

“So let us live and die together. Oh, George please, | beg

“Don’t you see, Anne, if there was no hope’at all I would
stay and die afin with my family, But there is food atop

“Do you truly believe you'll make it?”
"{ pray I will, But i's a long trek, and no one has ever

make it. Now bring the children to me, Anne.”
Anne walked away, dejected. Her family was starving,
facing a slow, painful death. But Anne was a faithful wife.
She gathered her brood of six children and stood them
before their father, Her husband.
Though they tried, the children could not remain still.
give up. Not now. Not ever, Do you understand me?”
‘The children weren't quite smiling, but they were proud
of their father. They knew. he loved them. He had always
been kind, loving, and affectionate; sometimes overly affec-
tionate. Every morning and every night George Would hug
his children, Occasionally, in’ the middle of the night,
George would check up on them and plant quiet kisses. The
‘children would pretend to be sleeping, or in some cases they
would not let George know he had awakended them with a
‘wet kiss. As soon as he would leave, they’d rub their faces
and wipe the saliva somewhere, anywhere — as long as the
stuff was off their faces.
But a quiet reality now set in, What if Dad never returned
to offer one of those sloppy smooches?, Who would do the
hugging? Mom was the disciplinarian, Dad ran interference
when she was on the warpath. Who'd do that? Who'd cry
when the children eamed A’s in school? Who'd be willing to
play a marathon game of hide and seek?
Tricia crawled to her father's side. “I love you Daddy,”
she squealed with delight, as she hugged him fiercely.
George smiled. The other children gathered around their
father, who continued smiling that smile, the one that says,
“Hey, they love me.” And so they did. Though reveling in
pride, George stole a glance at Anne. She was sobbing
violently. Would they be expressing such devotion to her,
she wondered. George read this in the tears streaming down
her cheeks,
“Anne, join us," George demanded through a smile.
“Please Mommy,” pleaded Tricia.
*Come‘on, Mom,” urged Bob.
Simultaneously, Mike and Sue shouted, “We love you
too, Mom!”
So Anne joined the happy family. Happy in love. Happy
in the shadow of death because love conquers everything,

addy, what does death feel like?” queeried Bob.
"Well, you know that feeling in your stomach now, that
grumbling sound it makes. Well, that gets worse, really bad,
hurts so much it just stops hurting. And you're dead.”
“But what's after that,” cried-Mary, “do we suffer after
that?”
“No honey, we reach peace after that.”
“Peace?,” Adam wondered out loud, “How do you know
what it's like. Have you ever been dead, Dad? Huh.”
"Yeah, Dad, how can you talk about death?” murmmered
Sue,
George kept a calm face about him, but peered pleading-
ly toward Anne, whose look, translated, said, “You got
yourself into this mess, get yourself out of it.”

lifetime of hardships awaits us all — even the non-believers,
“But, no,” George admitted without reserve, “I have
never been dead, And | hope not to die soon, | want to
watch you all grow. I love your mother dearly and want to

For George and Anne it conquered only as much as it had
to; should George survive, life would be better than ever,
should he perish in his quest, the family will have known
love, and knowing the meaning of love stabs death in the
heart.
‘The next morning, George was ready for whatever fate
had in store, During the night he snuck his usual kisses, or at
least tried, All except Tricia opened their eyes upon hearing
the. smack of lips. The kids smiled and said “I love you,
Dad.” But Tricia slept right through. Later, when George
had fallen asleep, Tricia crawled into the space between
George and Anne, She pecked her father for hours, though
he failed to awaken. Finally, when the alarm clock within
sounded, George‘awoke to a young face peering into his,
He gently reached for this face and brought it close to his.
“Kiss me again," cooed Tricia. And George did. Anne laugh-
ed and wiped Tricia's face. She then joined in the kissing
contest and was soon teamed with the remainder of the
family. “Bliss,” exclaimed George to no one in particular,
Soon enough, George kissed the children good-bye. He
walked over to Anne, “George,” she said seriously, “do you
believe those things you told the children about Christ and
death?”
“AIL know is I never questioned those things as a child. If
Idie, you and the kids will have to face reality. I will have to
face our maker, Sure, | wish Christ would come to me to-
day, in person, I'd say, "Christ, where have you been? Have
I got a shopping list for you, Look at what the world has
done to itself since you left, You've got a lot of work to do,
starting with getting food for me and my family.”
“But, do | believe everything | told the kids? I don’t know.
Somebody had to create all of this, We can’t just live and
die, Just like that. There has to be more, there just has to.
But there are so many religions, and so many problems in
this world, And many of these problems are caused by
religion. In fact, since you put me on the spot, and since 1
may never see you again, Il tell you something else, Every
‘once in a while, and quite often lately, I think religion causes
more problems than it solves, Who is right? I can't say
because I don’t know. Everyone thinks he is right.”
“But what counts is | love you and the kids. And I do
believe that if 1 die I will see you all again somewhere,
sometime, You and I are one, and the children are a part of
us both, Take good care of them if I don't return, and take
care of yourself. love you and | always will. You can forget
religion, but don’t ever forget that.”
With that, Anne and George kissed. George then hugged
and kissed each of the children, “I love you all,” he said,
choking back tears, but they knew. that already,
It was daylight as George began his ascent, He took with
him no.food, or water, or tools. Alll he needed was himself,
and his desires, and his desperation. That would be enough.
Home was but a faint blur on the horizon by the second
day, And George kept going. Onward, forward, upward, he
told himself. George thought of Anne and the children. He
was sort of their mother, not that she didn’t love them as
much as he, but he was always the affectionate one, the one
who answered questions and cried when the children did.
‘Anne was tougher, or so she believed, he thought. But hope
filled his head. “I will make itt” George screamed, And if he
didn’t, Anne would make the adjustment to playing both
mom and dad. She realized the children loved her in the
days before George left. They could count on her, and she
‘on them, George smiled at the thought.
The mountain proved fairly easy climbing.
Higher and higher he went
Higher and higher.
Higher.
Finally, George reached the top. It-was broad daylight.
And George celebrated his arrival in a triumphant silence.
He then sighted the bounty, tons and tons of food, Enough
to feed everyone in town, But, of more import, enough to
feed his family. His family. The tough part was complete,
Grab the stuff and run for it, George figured as he headed
for the miass of food, Suddenly a cloud shadowed the area.
George panicked, He ran in circles, Around and around,
Serpentine, serpentine. He screamed within himself. Terror.
“I'm in hell,” George cried. “I must be.” The cloud then
lifted, and George let down his guard,
Then, without warning, the blackness, in all its horrible
glory, befell George. He was pinned under something —
something dreadfully heavy, something deadly. George, us-
ing the last of his strength, turned his head and saw the
master of his fate
“God damn ants, Rose. | just smashed another one of the

THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON
compromises
Last week, Mike Alvaro, Albany’s director of
Code Enforcement, (a.k.a. the grouper law hit-
man) informed us that he’s got 125 houses he
could charge with grouper law violations —
tomorrow, if he wanted to.
‘At the moment, it doesn’t’ appear that he’s
going to. For now, University and Student
Association officials seem satisfied with this. But
that’s not good enough for the students living in
violation, for whom temporary non-enforcement
is hardly the solution to the ever-present threat of
eviction,
To be fair, SA officials have not been
completely inactive in addressing students’
concerns over the grouper law. They've set up the
Matchmaker Program, which offers students
listings of homes that are looking for boarders,
and their Community Relations Program is
certainly praiseworthy. The problem is, SA has
been completely reactive, They're working within
a discriminatory law that needs to be changed, not
dealt with,
‘There are times when it's in the students? best
interests to work with the city (o resolve
conflicting needs. This isn’t one of those
situations.
Unfortunately, there's little room for
compromise here. As long as the grouper law
exists in any way, enforced or not, it's a constant
threat the city can hold over students’ heads, Non-
enforcement is an easy out right now, but what
about next month, or next year? SA relations with
the city don’t stay this good forever.
Right now, SA is using non-enforcement as a
means of buying time. As SA President Steve
Gawiley told a Neighborhood Association meeting
last Thursday, ‘We're just asking that you give us
a little time for our programs to get going." He
contends that students don't want to violate the
law, they’ just lack alternatives. Once SA's
programs (such as Matchmaker) are in full swing,
Gawley maintains that the number of students
living in violation will drop off significantly.
This seems a bit optimistic or maybe” just
intentionally naive. Students are violating the law
because it’s arbitrary and impractical. A landlord
who owns a large four bedroom apartment can't
afford (o rent only three of the bedrooms. And
three students living in a four bedroom apartment
can't afford to split the rent for the extra
bedroom. Asa result, both landlords and students
have few options but to violate the law.
A law that determines the number of tenants a
house can have, based on the size of the house
would be a much more practical approach,
protecting both students and residents from
unreasonably overcrowded situations.
no doubt, an alternative SA has
recommended to the city. But the city doesn’t need
alternatives. What they’ve got right now is better:
non-enforcement with the students as their pawns.
Still, SA's reactionary approach is preferable t0
that of our University administration, They've
done nothing at all, except make a vague offer of
possibly providing housing to evicted students in
SUNYA's already overcrowed dorms,
‘They too, seem satisfied to accept the law,
despite the fact that the overcrowded housing
situation may deter students from attending the
University. In addition, their complacency fails to
address one of our University missions, which is
community service. If this University is creating a
housing problem within the community, then our
administrators should take an active role in
resolving it,
President O'Leary has demonstrated many
times in the past that he does hold the clout within
the city government to assist in creating a more

A Democratic appeal
This month, Democrats in the House of Represen-
tatives are embarking on an ambitious program to reach
out t6 America’s college students, More than 50
Democratic members plan {o travel to campuses across
the country, holding ‘Forums for the Future"’ on 16
campuses this month, and hopefully many more in the
months to come.
Dick Durbin
We are reaching out to let America’s students know
that our party embodies the spirit of America’s future:
the spirit of opportunity, frredom, economic advance-
ment and individual achievement. And we are reaching
out to hear the message America’s students have for us:
their hopes,’ ideas and concerns for the future.
We've been told that the groundswell of support for
Ronald Reagan on campus in 1984 signaled a major
political realignment in our country. We've heard that
just as campus activism once made a generation of young
‘Americans safely Democratic, that Ronald Reagan's
popularity on campus is turning students safely
Republican.
But. as Democrats, we're not ready to concede
America’s college students to the Republican Party.
Students may have voted for Reagan because he seemed
to stand for new, bolder leadership after a decade of
frustrations that included Watergate, the energy crisis,
and the hostage drama in Iran. In fact, students’ vote for
Reagan may have carried a bit of idealism of its own —
the promise of a stronger America and a growing
economy,
But young Americans ought to ask today whether the
Republicans plan to keep that promise. As Democrats, we
think students looking for real leadership for the future
‘ought to be listening to what our party has to say,
Let's first look at the reason many students voted for
the President: economic security, While students may
have felt more hopeful about our nation’s future under a
Republican President, some lingering ‘doubts remain
today.
Polling data indicate that an increasing percentage of
students have real doubts they'll eveniually be better off
financially than their parents. Students quite properly
should ask which party will do the best on long-term
economic planning, which will make the real difference
for today’s young Americans in tomorrow's world,
During the Reagan Administration, the federal deficit
has grown to more than four times what it was during
Jimmy Carter’s presidency. No matter whom you blame
for it, that deficit will take years to pay off. It’s a debt
students will keep paying long after their student loans
are taken care of, as they face higher interest rates buying
a house, starting a business, or thinking about college for
their own children.
‘The Democrats are concerned about that deficit, and
know ‘that it cannot be remedied through rhetoric and
simplistic solutions. This year, the Democrats in the
House led the way in assuring passage of a budget that
cuts the deficit $55 billion in the 1986 fiscal year. The
Republicans worked to make those cuts, too,-but the
Democrats assured that the budget would be cut respon-
sibly — so that crucial life-support systems such as’stu-
dent loans and Social Security weren’t comp! i
Young people also voted Republican, show,
because that party: seemed.to promise military strength
and resolve in a darigerous world. The Arab oil embargo,
the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the wreckage of
U.S. helicopters in the Iranian desert made many young
people long for a government that would be firm and
tough.
‘The Democrats know that in a changing world, our
country has to be as strong as any on the globe. But we
also have to be smart. Our position in the world relies on
large part on gaining advantages now that will benefit us
in the future — in the world your generation will inherit,
Take the case of South Africa. It is only a matter of
time before that country’s vast black majority assumes
power over their land and their destiny. The U.S. can
stand up firmly for justice, and win a friend in the future
government of South Africa, or we can continue the Ad-
ministration’s “constructive engagement”? policy, which
ties us to a brutal, unjust white minority regime. The
Democrats have led the way in forcing the U.S. to impose
economic sanctions against South Africa, a first step
toward aligning our nation with that country’s majority.
As students look to the future, they need to think about
the role they want government to play. Do they want na-
tional leadership that constantly declares government the
enemy — as the current Administration does — or do
they want leaders committed to*making government
work?
The role of government is indeed critical as we think
about solutions to the problems of the next decade: clean-
ing up toxic wastes, expanding and improving education
and job training, combatting illiteracy, improving mass
transit, Should these problems be left in the hands of so-
meone committed to dismantling government, or should
they be handled by people who are dedicated to finding
efficient and realistic solutions?
We think most students genuinely seek a government
that works, a government that deals with the pressing
issues of tomorrow. That's why we're speaking out. But
we're not only asking students to listen to what we say,
but to tell us what they think. Our party needs young
voters: their energy, thelr ideas, and their optimism. We
hope students will hear us out, because we both have
something pretty important at stake: our future. [=}

LETTERS
Needless problem
To the Editor:
Saturday, October 5 at approximately 8:15 p.m., I was _
dropping off a friend and her parents at the University
Gym to attend the Alan King performance.
A problem arose when.I went to allow my friend, a
fellow student*here at Albany, out of the van we were
traveling’ in. Because ‘she is a disabled student in a
wheelchair, I wanted to let-her out of the yan in an
authorized ‘location. When‘ asking a’member of UPD
where this could be done he told me to do so
further along. Perimeter. Road. The spaces normally
reserved fot making-the gym more accessible to the
disabled were thoughtlessly blocked by several UPD cars.
Perhaps the. officer was acting under orders, however,
his behavior was both discourteous and irresponsible. If
this is departmient policy the whole force should be
brought under scrutiny, Perimeter Road is no place to
discharge a disabled student in a wheelchair, especially
with its poor visability and the increased traffic due to
Parent’s Weekend.
The van in which we were traveling has both University
and New York State authorization stickers. This incident
should never have occured and shows very little respect
for or compliance with the law.
This matter should be looked into with regard to the
origin of this directive and the officer's action. Further-
more, steps should be taken to insure that an unfortunate
incident such as this never occurs again.

Thank you, UPD
To the Editor:
In my two and a half years as a student here at SUNYA.
I cannot recall ever reading a positive letter regarding
UPD. If students would look more closely at UPD, they
would realize that they are doing a good job:
I have had* several experiences’ with UPD and every
time they have been ‘both courteous and helpful, par-
ticularly today (10/10). At 5:45 a.m.; on my way to my

UC responds
To the Editor:
This is in response to Mr. Michael Kohut’s letter of
10/8, which was directed at the leadership of University
Cinemas.
Mr, Kohut, you made several statements in your letter
which we feel need clarification. You say that ‘they
refuse to sell tickets a reasonable time in advance.’* What
exactly do you mean by a ‘‘reasonable time?" Do you
‘suggest that we sell tickets a week or two in advance? Un-
fortunately, we are unable to do this because of the book-
keeping procedures within our group,
In addition, you made a reference to the length of the
ticket lines. They exist for several reasons. First, we are
bringing movies which appeal to a great deal of students,
Thus, it takes considerable time to sell 200-300 tickets,
Realizing this fact, our managers are instructed to begin
ticket sales 30 minutes before showtime. However, many
students wishing to see the movie arrive only five to ten
minutes before the show is supposed to begin. With only
a handful of people inside and several hundred outside, to
start on time would cause a riot.
You also say that if you are lucky you can catch the last
bus downtown. According to our bus schedule, the last
Draper bus leaves the circle at 12:35, while the last Well-
ington leaves at 12:30. This occurs on both Thursday and
Friday. On Saturday nights the last scheduled bus leaves
5. Allowing for a delay of “about 15 minutes in
their late night buses soon. If there is no bus, that is a
concern which should be expressed to the appropriate
Persons, not University Cinemas. Also, if you are still
concerned about not being able to get downtown, come
to the early show.
Just one other minor point has to be brought out. You
state that the Student Association provides us with
$30,000: Apparently, you were quite misinformed as to
exactly how much money we receive. In fact, we are ap-
Propriated an amount which is considerably less than
what you stated.
It is our opinion that you are uninformed as to the in-
ner workings of University Cinemas. We invite you to
come down early one night to find out what really goes
on.

Appalled at Sorenson
‘To The Editor:
Tam writing in response to,the article I read in the ASP
covering the recent appearance of Burt Sorenson on cam-
pus. As a Baptist Campus Minister, I was shocked and
appalled at the comments Mr. Sorenson had to make. =: +
First of all, let me say that I make no apologies for be-
ing a Christian and a minister of the gospel of Christ, but
what we as Christians don’t néed is someone like Mr.
Sorenson making irresponsible, inane remarks like he
did,
Christians should be about the business of redemption
and reconciliation. No one has any business going around
publicly declaring the eternal destiny of other human be-
ings. We are all God's children, and He loves us equally.
It’s best, I think, that we let Him decide how He will han-
dle matters such as this.
There are people around us in the world who hurt.
‘There are people who are hungry, homeless, and in
prison. Let us, as children of God, busy ourselves with
ministering to these. In a world of strife, let us bring
peace. May God's blessings be upon us all,

Grateful for support
To the Editor:
I Would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire
University Community for the support they have shown
for what could be considered a major step in awareness
for the disabled students on our campus and maybe on
other campuses in the state. I am referring to efforts to
raise money to purchase a riew van for the students. The
Disabled Van Task Force is only in effect now for one
month and already there has been a quick interest arising
from all members of the university.
Already we have verbal commitments from the Student
Association Media Office, Purple and Gold, the Ad- “>
ministration, University Auxilliary Services, and a few
other sources in the University community, as well as
manpower assistance.
I would also like to thank the Campus Crusade for
Christ for starting the whole effort off with an interesting
twist. — the Mega-Split.
This overall effort is one of the best ways to show how
many people can come together for a needy and wor-
thwhile cause.
Thank you all,

Similarities in people measured
by more than sexual preference
By Claudia Meyer
Have you ever met @ homosexual? Do homosex-
uals really exist, or is homosexuality just some ab-
strd conception that is fun to joke about? Perhaps
you have heard about the social issue: human rights
for homosexuals, but do you personally know
anyone asking for them? Are homosexuals, in fact,
discriminated against? Would
you mind a homosexual teaching People
your children? Why do we hear 9 iy
about discrimination without be- Like
ing able to identify its victims? Us
Did you ever ask yourself these
questions?
Homosexuality:’ being. sexually-oriented toward
or having an affectional preference for people of
ne’s own sex; romantic involvement, i.e. love, bet-
‘ween members of the same sex. Maybe that is hard
toimagine if One could feel comfortable in or desire
intimate relationships with members of the opposite
sex, But fundamentally does it matter what sex the
person that one loves is, especially if the two people
are happy in their relationship? What is the issue ,
here? Are homosexual people fundamentally, evil? |
‘Does the devil make them do it?
Don’t heterosexual and homosexual people have
a lot in common? All people are only people,
besides, aren't there some things that either of these
groups can do in bed? Are all these acts evil?
‘There seems. to exist in this world an entity
known as homophobia, a concept implying 2
discomfort on the part of those afflicted with the
idea of homosexuality of with homosexual people.
Perhaps the existence of this entity is due to a
misunderstanding of homosexual people and
homosexuality by non-homosexual people.
However, such feelings are probably not the fault
of the afflicted non-homosexuals. It would be
understandable if the misunderstandings were due
to misinformation. What images come to mind
when: you try to picture a homosexual person? A
gay male? A lesbian? Perhaps your images are in-
fluenced by stereotypes. Have you ever met a
homosexual'person?
People say things like, ‘I don’t care what two
people of any sex combination do in bed. I don’t
see the need to discuss discrimination against gay
people.” Okay; but how do you feel about seeing
two people of opposite sexes kissing or ‘making
out’? in public? And when two people are of the
same sex? Does the latter scene make you feel un-
comfortable? Can your reaction be Geectibea as
“homophobic?”
Most people would agree that discriminating pre~
judicially against different groups of people is
wrong. A homophobic reaction to the above
scenario is unfair, too. Sure, there are some dif-
ferences between’ gay and non-gay people — take
their sexual preferences for instance — but all peo-
ple have oné thing in common: we're all people.
Across all groups, there are a lot more similarities
than differences among us.
Task force
There are many more gay people around than
most people realize, and cet\ainly more than most
People know. Gay people can hide, gay people can
pretend to conform, That which makes gay people
-“different"® does not have to be obvious to
everybody. After all, it seems that most people
assume that others are heterosexual unless they feel
they have evidence to the contrary. Such evidence
can be taken from stereotypes, but how. many gay
people do you know who conform to stereotypes?
However, the heterosexual assumption is unfair,
catties the same implications as the word
when it stands for. ‘‘heterosexual,’” that
heterosexuality is right and homosexuality is not.
What difference does it make who you love and
make love to? Procreation is one good reason to
have sex, but homosexuality has oni thing going for
it: it beats heterosexuality with respect to birth-
control.
. However, the point here is not to advocate
Becoming gay, or to “convert” anyone, but rather
to encourage people of whatever persuasion to feel
comfortable with themselves with respect to their
sexual and affectional: preferences as well as with
the preferences of others,
Prejudice, by definition, is unfair and both gay
and non-gay people must work together to
eliminate the prejudice against gay people, To the
but to the “oppressed,” we have to let the world
know we are people, too. Stereotypes cannot ac-
curately represent any group of people; people can
only represent themselves.
The only generalization that can'be ascribed to
gay people refers to sexual preference, period.
Perhaps if non-gay people were sensitized to gay
people, it would not be such a big deal and there
would be less misunderstanding. Sex and relation-
ships are two pretty broad topics for anyone to have
to censor from public expression.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance is the only
S.A.-funded group devoted to the interests and
concerns of homosexual people as a minority group
on this campus. We meet Tuesday nights at 8:30
p.m, in Campus Center 375, and though we want to
emphasize that anyone is welcome to attend, we
have speakers and hold discustions about questions
relevant to the gay community besides organizing
social activities. The GALA office is located in CC
333 and the phone number is 442-5672.
If you are questioning your own sexual
preference or just want to find out about gay con-
cerns, stop by the office or come to the meetings.

Associating with ‘subversives’
could force prof out of country
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE— University of
New Mexico assistant professor Margaret
Randall is a native of the U.S. with a hus-
band, parents and a brother who are U.S.
citizens, But now she thinks the govern-
ment may force her off campus and out of
the country, primarily because she has
associated with leftists,
Randall became a naturalized Mexican
in 1966, afd last summer, after she applied
for permanent resident alien status in the
U.S., an Immigration and Naturalization
Service (INS) officer grilled her about her
friends, activities and writings during her
23 years in Latin America.
“It was a political inquiry,”* said Ran-
dall’s attorney, Michael Maggio, who, like .
Randall, now expects the INS to reject
Randall’s application for permission to
stay in the U.S. sometime this fall.
Tf that happens, Maggio said Randall
will appeal.
‘And that battle, Maggio predicted, will
become “a focal point of national atten-
tion” because he says few people challenge
those rulings.
“Margaret Randall is being told that
even though she lives in the land of her
birth, has parents and a husband who are
American and teaches at an American
university, she can't stay here because of
what she thinks,’* Maggio said.
“The higher education community
‘ought to be concerned if the INS is going
to be a brain police.”
U.S. immigration laws allow the INS to
reject visa applications from applicants
who haye joined or affiliated with com-
munist, Marxist or ‘‘subversive’”
organizations.
The INS also can reject applicants who
have advocated communism, anarchism or
opposition to organized government, or
applicants who may engage in activities
that would be ‘‘prejudicial to the public
interest?!)
Jean Paul Coiffures, one of the best
in the country ~ Dec. '83
‘The beginning of a trend in facials - Oct. '84
“As seen in
. MADEMOISELLE:
_ Rejecting applications for permanent
Fesident status — as opposed to turning
down requests to visit the U.S. — on
political grounds are more rare.
“Both categories are equally politically
obnoxious,” said American Civil Liberties
Union attorney Steve Shapiro,
“But in terms of consequences for
building a life, rejections of permanent
residency status are much more
devastating, The human dimension involv-
ed is greater.””
However, Joshua Koltun, a legislative
aide to Rep. Barry Frank (D-Mass),
argued Randall's case probably won't af-
fect many other people,
But Frank has sponsored a bill to nar-
row the number of political exclusions
from the U.S.
In the year ending September 30, 1984,
253 applications for permanent residency
status were rejected for political reasons,
according to figures compiled by the State
Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs.
The State Department rejected about
600 potential visitors for political reasons
during the same period.
Prominent academians. like South
African poet Dennis Brutus and Latin
‘American literature professor Angel Rama
are among those denied permanent
residency for political reasons in the past.
Rama, who was teaching at the Univer-
sity of Maryland, was killed in a plane
crash before the final outcome of his case
was determined.
Brutus eventually received political
asylum, after which the government drop-
ped objections to his request for perma-
nent residency status. He is now an English
professor at Swarthmore College in
Pennsylvania.
As in the Brutus case, Randall has at-
tracted the support of prominent U.S,
‘writer's in her anticipated battle with the

that would have reduced abuses of sab-
batical leaves.
‘Another audit by Regan said that the
SUNY College of Environmental
Science and Forestry in Syracuse failed
to adequately control cash receipts of
almost $3 million per year.
The audit, covering a period ending in
June 1984, said that cashiers had too
much control of money, opening the
way for possible employee theft. It sug-
gested that responsibility for dealing
with cash, handling accounting records
and bank deposits, and preparing
checks be split up among more
employees.
Ina written response to the sabbatical
audit, SUNY officials said that ‘we ~
believe that, on the whole, the State
University and its faculty have made a
wide and appropriate use of sabbatical
leave privileges, and that the campus ad-
ministrations have been vigilant in con-
forming to the Trustees’ policies concer-
ning the granting of these leaves.”"
‘The SUNY response said that "99.3
percent of the faculty who were granted
sabbatical leaves satisfied all of the
eligibility requirements, and 98.1 per-
cent satisfied the obligations to return

After arriving forty-five minutes late,
Alvaro addressed the group saying that
“my job is to enforce the Grouper Law to
get safe, clean, quiet neighborhoods." He
said he is willing to ‘give Steve a chance,””
but he won't let the community ‘put up

long.” Student housing “‘is Albany's pro-
blem, but the University’s’ responsibility,”

‘The response said that about 90 per-
cent of the required reports by those
who took sabbatical leaves were com-
pleted before the audit period ended last
December and said that since then, 99
percent of the reports have been
completed.
SUNY officials said that ‘the Univer-
sity has seriously considered the com-
ments provided in the audit report and
has established new administrative pro-
cedures which will provide the ap-
propriate corrections.”
In response to the audit on the SUNY
college in Syracuse, SUNY officials
issued a statement saying there is no
evidence that employees have taken or
improperly spent money.
SUNY officials said that under ideal
conditions they could separate the job
of dealing with money among more
employees but said that ‘with our cur-
rent staffing level, and level of
workload, it is not possible to imple-
ment suggested changes and still main-
tain a timely operation.””
‘The officials said they are developing

he added.
“Everything Steve says and you say
makes us understand the problem," said
Alvaro, ‘but students can’t come crying to
us when we enforce the law. Students
know they're breaking it when they sign
that lease. They have to learn they're
responsible for their own actions."”
“The problem exists but is the answer
the Grouper Law? We have proposed
alternative solutions that we feel will be
very effective once they get a chance to get
started,"* said Gawley. [=

play to give the Owls a 16-7 lead
at intermission, but for the re
mainder of, the contest, the
Albany defense completely shut
down the Owls’ ri, riented
offense.
“It’s a great fecling.'* said
linebacker Frank Sarcone, who
played with a slight groin pull.
“After a while we knew we could
hold them."*
The tide turned Albany's way
early in the second half as the
Danes scored two touchdowns a
minute apart, thanks to a cleverly
executed on-side kick.
The first touchdown drive
covered 68 yards on 12 plays as
the Danes mixed up the pass and
run. The key play came en first
down from the Owls’ 27, when
Carlin took a reverse hand off
and tossed the ball 23 yards to
Scott Reagan, who had caught a
14 yard pass earlier on the drive.
Kicking from the Owls’ 45, kicker
Tony Amarante caught Southern
Connecticut off guard as he
squibbed the ball to the 29-yard
line where Bo Murphy pounced
on the ball.
One play later, the Walt Whit-
man High School connection gave
the Danes a 20-16 lead as Milano
and John Donnelly hooked up for
a 29-yard touchdown pass.
“That was an audible.” said
Donnelly. ‘The guy covering me
was looking for an interception
all day. So Mike pumped-faked
and we beat him. It felt great
because I wasn't having a great
day.”
The Owls had six more posses-
sions to’ regain the lead, but the
combination of poor field posi-
tion and a well-disciplined Danes’
defense aimed at stopping the
run, nullified a comeback.
‘Amarant, the punter, gave his
best. performance as a Dane,
averaging 35 yards a kick, in
chiding a 32-yarder coming off a
fake field goal which pinned the
‘Owis back to the one-yard line,
“1 said before the game that
field position is going to make the
difference,” said Ford. “I
thought if we could give them
poor field position, we could hold
them."*
The Owls give a little scare to
the Danes in the last two minutes.
Tacaks hit John Tito for 26 yards
and a tipped pass landed in Tac-
cetta’s chest for another 13, br-
inging the ball to the Albany 32,
But on the next play, Tacaks
was stripped off the ball by Den-
nis Murphy, who put in a solid
day of work, and Anderson fell
on the ball to insure the Danes’
fourth consecutive triumph.

Celebrating was done in a non-
traditional way by the Albany
State rugby team following their
16-9 loss to arch-rival Union on
Saturday.
“Traditionally, we'll invite the

said junior wing, Dean Nasca.
“But we and Union have a bad
rivalry. We clash like oil and
water.””
Albany's dislike for their oppo-
nent was by no means lessened by
the loss, which will keep them out
of the Upstate Rugby Union
championship next weekend. *

dent Pat Corrigan. ‘We should
have beat them, we made a lot of
stupid mental errors.”
The Danes took a 3-0 lead in
the first half when senior wing
Tory Ellis scored a penalty kick.
Union then scored a try to lead
6-3 at the end of the haif.
Both Union and Albany scored
twice in the second half, Ellis
scoring again for the Danes, mak-
ing the score 12-9. Later in the

Saturday’s narrow 2-0 loss by the
Albany State men’s soccer team to
Binghamton, a team ranked third in New
York, illustrates, that while the Dancs
have proven they can play with the best,
they have yet to learn how to defeat them.
“We played a good defensive game,"
said co-captian Carl loos, ‘And we had
early chances to score but we didn’t
capitalize on them.”*
‘The game was scoreless for the entire
first half, the most significant occurence
for the Danes being co-captain Tihan
Presbies’ receivance of a yellow card for
tripping Binghamton’s Kevin Martin, who
scored at 66:47 in the second half for the
Colonials. Binghamton’s John Sherman
Fullback Franz Mitchell passes the ball off In recent action,
Men booters blanked, 2-0
scored at 76:58 to give the Colonials a 2-0
lead.
‘The Danes’ scoring chances were crush-
ed when Presbie received a second yellow
card, and was ejected from the game with
three minutes remaining.
“Overall, we've had better games, it was
a disappointment,” said loos. ‘“We had a
lot of trouble with the midfield, and
whoever dominates the midfield usually
wins the game, They're a good team, but
they're not anywhere near Union or Cor-
tland. We could defeat them in the Univer,
sity Center Championships,””
The Danes’ next.opponeni will be
Oneonta, a Division { team on Wednes-
day. Presbie, who received a one-game
suspension due to Saturday's game, a

The Albany State women’s soccer team
finally have their heads above water again.
Consecutive wins over’ Williams and
Oneonta brought them back to .500 for the
first time since September 23.
The Danes looked in playoff form in the
3-1 decision over Williams last Thursday,
but had to come back against Onconta on
Saturday to post the 3-2 victory that im-
proved their record'to 6-6,
‘The Danes made Coach.Amy Kidder's
job easy against Williams as they finished
plays well and declared open season on the
Williams net with 29 shots to a meager five
for the opposition,
“We were sharp, we played some super
ball,” said Kidder, ‘they didn’t have to be
coached too much out there."*
Kidder did perform what she termed ‘‘a
major shift,"* however, when she put Mary
Dulkis, normally a forward, at right mid-
field and backer, Cheryl 'Hensen at left
midfield,
“That made a difference in our of-
Kidder,» “they. really “got
The strategy paid off at 33:05 of the first
half when Hensen assisted forward Sue
Frost's goal to put the Danes up 1-0, High-
scoring forward Joan McNamara added
goals at 42:16 of the first half and 16:30 of
the second half, and it was more than
enough as Williams managed only a se-
cond half goal by Gigi Madore.
“They weren't a pushover, but it didn’t
matter who we played,” Kidder said of the
all-around team effort.;
Kidder also had high praise for
freshman sweeper Sandi Buitron, ‘Sandi
did a great job,” said Kidder. ‘She came
up nicely and attacked.” Co-captains
Sharon Yablonski and Laura McGrath,
and sophomore backer Kathy Parker also
had, according to Kidder, ‘‘games of their
season,"*
And the good habits established in the
Williams game were evident carly on when
Albany faced. Oneonta last Saturday, but
this time McNamara’s first half goal was
equalled by Oneonta’s Kim Disser at 38:22
of the first half. Suddenly, Albany’s offen-
sive gears were jammed as they tried to
make passes that weren't there,
“We played real well, and then
something happened,"* explained Kidder,
“they were shutting down our passing
lanes, but we still tried to force it."
Lisa Aniano put Oneonta on top at 8:25
of the second half, but Albany's scoring
duo of McNamara and forward Joanna
Lazarides brought them back from the
dead. Lazarides cancelled Aniano's goal
seven minutes later, and McNamara got
the game-winner at 31:38 on an’assist by
Mary Dulkis.
Lazarides played despite sore ankles that
kept her out of the Williams game, ‘She
had:no business being out there,’ marvell-
ed Kidder, and she put her feeling about

When the final second ticked

20-16 victory over the Division IL
Owls official, pandemonium rul-
ed the Albany State sidelines as
the players pranced about Bowen
Field, leaping into teammates’
arms and giving out bearhugs to
all willing to accept.
For Albany State, it was their
fourth straight victory and second
straight win over ‘a Division IL
school, which should convince
Lambert Poll voters that the 4-1
Danes are worthy of a Top Ten
national ranking, and enhance its
chances for the NCAA playoffs.
It also marked the Danes sixth
straight win at Bowen Field.
“Since I've been here, there has
been no greater satisfying win
than today," said offensive line
coach Ed Zaloom in the winning
lockerroom. “It was such a
courageous victory. This
showed that they had heart

The dynasty lives on.
The Albany State men’s tennis
team put their names in the record
book Saturday when they rose
above a strong field to capture an
unprecedented seventh straight
SUNYAC championship,
The Danes totaled 29 points to
overcome University of Buffalo,
who came in second place with
25, and third place Binghamton,
who had 22%.
While Albany only outscored
Buffalo and Binghamton by one
point in doubles play, good team
balance in singles gave Albany a
decisive edge, as they scored 20
points in singles to Buffalo's, 16
and Binghamton's, 14,

ning the seventh time is just as
good as winning the first time, “It
was very. satisfying, especially
because we knew we were facing a
very tough field,"* said Lewis,
“The overall». competition was
great this year.'!
‘The spotlight match in first
singles was the final between Buf-
falo's top seed Ken White and se-
cond seed David Grossman of
Albany. Grossman took White,
this fall's ECAC champion, to
three sets, but lost, 6-1, 2-6, 6-3,

“Milano is a gutsy kid, a real

Southern Connecticut Coach
Rick Cavanaugh. ‘‘He’s a real
winner,””
‘The Danes’ offense started the
day tentatively. Milano didn’t*
touch the ball until Albany State
was down 7-0, Albany won-the
toss but elected to kick, a move
that backfired as the Owls march-
ed down the field 65 yards in nine
plays. The ninth play’ was an
8-yard touchdown pass from Jim
Tacaks to Joe Taccetta, The extra
point was blocked by Wayne
Anderson.
The Danes’ first. possession
was over before it) started as
Albany was stopped cold on three
straight plays, On their ‘next
possession, disaster” struck.
Milano made an errant pitch to
Caesar Revano, which brought
the ball back to the four-yard
line. After an incomplete pass,
Caesar Revano fumbled a pitch
and Bob Wilson caught the loose
ball in mid-air. On the first play
from the 3-yard line, Tacaks
found John Miller in the endzone
to give the Owls a 13-0 bulge.
The Danes looked in trouble.
They failed to get a'first down on
the next possession, but after a
strong defensive stand, the Danes
got the ball back one minute later.
After getting their initial first
down of the game with 3:41 left in
the first quarter, Milano-ran the
option 43 yards to the Owl 27
yard line before being stopped
from behind by Stan Morrison. It
was a crucial play for Albany
mainly in terms of confidence, ‘1
think we were nervous as a team
at the beginning,” Milano said.
“But after that drive, we settled
down.””

One of the turning points of the
tournament came in second
singles when Albany's Tom
Schmitz surprised first seed Dan
Scheulfand of Buffalo, 7-6, 6-2,
in the quarterfinals,
“Tom Schmitz had a tough
match," said Lewis, ‘but it was a
big turning point for us because
he knocked off the number one
seed immediately, which was ac-
tually a 7-point swing in our
favor."
Lewis was referring to the four
points Schmitz earned when he
won the final over second-seeded
Mark Birnbaum of Binghamton,
1-6, 7-5,6-1, That left Buffalo
with only one point in a bracket
they were favored to win,
Another important turning
point came when Albany's fifth
singles player, Mike Dermansky,
shook off injuries that kept him
out of practice all week to storm
past Binghamton’s Hall Groat in
Straight sets, 6-1,6-1,
“1 was a little skeptical about
our chances because Mike was
hurt and he hardly practiced all
week," said Lewis,"* but he was
the key for us.””
At third singles, Albany's Jay
Eisenberg fell in the finals to Buf-
falo's Ed Wagner in a close match
that required two tiebreakers, 7-6,
7-3. Albany falled to produce a
singles finalist in only the fourth
singles flight as David Zobler lost
in the quarterfinals to the even-
tual champion, Joe Alfano of
Binghamton, 6-0, 4-6, 6-1, in the
quarterfinals.
At sixth singles, Albany got a
tremendous boost» when Bob
Siracuse came back in the finals
after falling behind by a set to top
seed Brian Myerhofer of Buffalo,
7-5. Siracuse took the next two

ched top-seeded White and
Scheulfand of Buffalo against
Grossman and Schmitz of
Albany. The Buffalo duo prevail-

Albany did pick up some im-
portant points in second doubles
as Eisenberg and Dermansky
whipped Oneonta’s Jim Wilk and
Scott Aitchinson, 6-4, 6-2. This
was the Albany duos second
straight SUNYAC doubles cham-
pionship and gave Dermansky
two championships again this
year,
‘Third doubles found Albany
being defeated in the semifinals,
6-4, 1-6, 6-0, to Binghamton
when Siracuse teamed with Mit-

Pros to advise

‘A new Women’s Studies Internship which will provide
students the chance to gain experience in the traditional
“man’s world” was announced Tuesday as part of a lec-
ture titled ‘Taking Charge of Your Career.
Dr. Susan Kaplow, who will direct the internship,
discussed the benefits of networking among women when
seeking, a job and also the best method of determining
what job is the right one.
‘1 want to introduce you to a different philosophy and
different method of thinking about career and career
planning," Kaplow said, “I think the way we usually
think about career is we get some information . . . and
then we figure out which box of the different boxes of
society we might fit ourselves into,””
She continued, saying, ‘I'm going to suggest turning
this process around and not start with what are the ex-
Usting boxes .... professions and career tracks that we
can fit ourselves into, but start instead with ourselves,
“To me, that’s the essence of the difference between
haying a job and having a career," she emphasized.
“A career is something that expresses you, The place to
start building something like that is yourself,” Kaplow
added, before handing out an “office politics self-
‘assessment questionnaire" which Kaplow said will help
students “‘hone in on what kind of person you are and
points you in the beginning directions of your career
rae questionnaire had students pick adjectives they
would use to describe themselves and ended with one of
the-six categories being pointed to. Categories included
groups like “‘artistic’” or “enterprising.”
“After you have some sense of how you can begin to
sort jobs through, what do you do next? You do some
research," Kaplow told the audience. ‘There are many,
many books in thé library which are really nothing but
fancy lists’of the different things people can do in this
world, she added,
© any, other infectious patient.”
““Allof the staff feel the same way,” he sald, ““Any stu-
dent or visitor to campus would recelve treatment or
emergency care upon initial diagnosis of AIDS just like
any other health issue," Brown said, adding that depen-
ding upon the severity the patient might be referred to an
off campus health facility.
The infirmary lacks such facilities as'a radiology unit,
and x-ray machines which diagnose pnuemonia, an ail-
ment sometimes afflicting the AIDS patient. Such pro-
cedures could have to be done at a hospital, Brown
“Our health educators do need education about
AIDS." continued Brown. “We have sent our nurses and
physicians to conferences, and they've all been made
aware of the AIDS Council in Albany as a resource,” he
said.
“1 went to a two-day conférence held at the Police
Academy,” said Michele Lennon, the nurse in charge of
the out patient department at the infirmary. ‘The con-
sensus of opinion at the conference was that among all
the health care workers who have dealt with AIDS, there
have been no cases of AIDS," she said.

use...

“Although 1 feel comfortable about dealing with
‘AIDS, I need more information,” Lennon said, adding
that there has been no panic among the infirmary staff.””
“We do treat hepatitis and infectious mono,’ said
Lennon, ‘and we will treat an AIDS patient the same as

Dorm rate increases
feared as SUNY votes
on self-sufficient plan
By Karen E. Beck
STAFP WRITER
Students may have to pay more for on-campus hous-
ing next year if the SUNY Board of Trustees and state
legislature approve the concept of “dormitory sel
sufficiency.
Self-sufficiency means all facility operations and
maintenance costs are funded primarily through dor-
mitory fees while state subsidies are eliminated.
While the idea could be applied in many different
ways to include many combinations of costs, SUNY
Central is working with a form of self-sufficiency
which would include all direct and indirect costs of run-
ning a dorm.
The self-sufficiency plan goes before the SUNY Cen-
tral Board of Trustees on Wednesday, October 23 and
before the New York State legislature in January.
Self-sufficiency is a system in which the income of
the dormitories pays for the dorms themselves,”” said
University President Vincent O'Leary.
The Board of Trustees announced its first steps
toward self-sufficiency in 1980 with a $150 dorm room
rent increase. Increases have followed, but a full self-
sufficiency plan requires legislature approval,
“What self-sufficiency boils down to is that SUNY
wants more control over campuses and wants the New
York State Department of Budget to have less control
over it. In this way, self-sufficiency could be a good
thing.”” said Steve Saroki, Executive Vice President for
the Student Association of the State University
(SASU)....
“This is something that's been developing for about
five years, Over that time a member of the Board of
Trustees said the dorms should go self-sufficient,”” said
O' Leary.
“In order to decide what will be encompassed by
self-sufficiency,”” said O’ Leary ‘we've had to reach in
‘a decide what (cost) is uniquely the dormitories and
what is uniquely the institution’
According to the self-sufficiency plan, dormitory
fees could include such services as grounds department
or campus security.
“1 think the issue of self-sufficiency demands our at-
tention most importantly because we should sce that
dorm rates don’t increase prohibitively,”’ said Student
Association Vice President Ross Abelow.
SUNY's application of self-sufficiency could cause
dorm rates to vary throughout the SUNY system.
“it’s a dangerous proposal for students," said SA
President Steve Gawley. ‘‘It will seriously effect access
on the part of the students applying to state schools. A
further danger is that room rates will vary statewide
from SUNY campus to SUNY campus. A student's
choice for school might have to, for example, be made
based on utility costs in a specific part of the state, or
something as bizarre as that.'*
“Variable room rates on campuses across the state is
one on the biggest problems with self-sufficiency,”
said Saroki, “The way SUNY is defining self-
sufficiency right now, it doesn’t help to improve stu-
dent life at all. It could, in fact, lead to discrimination
against students on the basis of how much money they
have,
“The campuses which will undergo the greatest
room rate increases are the dorms which are most
underutilized,”’ said Saroki, noting that Brockport and
Now Paltz are such campuses. ‘'Students will have to
pay more money in order to make up for the costs of
the rooms not being used,” he said,
“Costs for schools will no longer vary according to
the quality of education available at each school, but
will be determined by other less relevant factors," said
Gawley. “Public education's mission is to provide
