Clarence Thomas confirmed for Supreme Court

By Douglas J. Rowe

(AP) Some Americans are hoping the
ordeal Clarence Thomas went through
will make him a better Supreme Court
justice, while others worry that the whole
lurid process will leave him embittered.

People also differed sharply over how
the laserlike focus of the Senate hearings
on Anita Hill’s allegations might affect
both awareness of sexual harassment and
victims’ willingness to come forward.

“He may turn out to be a different
justice than he would have been if he had
been confirmed a week ago,” said Gerald
Uelman, dean of Santa Clara University’s
law school in Northern California.

He said Thomas found out “who his
friends are and who his enemies are. I
frankly would be worried that that’s going
to affect how he sees the issues.” Uelman
said Thomas may be antagonistic toward
the women’s rights groups and other
liberal organizations that opposed him.

Uelman was one of dozens of people
interviewed Tuesday night by The
Associated Press after the Senate’s 52-48
vote to confirm Thomas. The vote
followed three days of hearings into

allegations by Hill, a University of
Oklahoma law professor and former
employee, that Thomas had sexually
harassed her.

“T hope the suffering he has endured has
helped him reconnect with the suffering
of other Americans,” said Carol Konek,
an associate dean at Wichita State
University in Kansas. “I hope it has
deepened his compassion or given him
compassion that he never exhibited
toward anyone but himself during the
hearings.”

Alexander Williams, state attorney for
Maryland’s Prince George”s County, said
he believes Thomas will emerge a wiser
man.

{Thomas is going to be a better judge, a
more broad-based judge because of the
experience he has gone through,” he said.
“Having been the victim of what he calls
racism is going to make him a little more
sensitive to the issue.”

national debate when she resigned from

said the outcome will discourage women
from complaining about sexual

“There’s going to be tremendous
backlash in the next few weeks,” said the
50-year-old brain surgeon, who recently

without her help.

“Women’s issues in this regard are
going to again be trivialized to an
incredible extent. Women are going to

Robert Burns, a political science
professor at South Dakota State
University in Brookings, disagreed,
saying the hearings raised awareness of
sexual harassment to a new level.

“T think men will certainly be much
more conscious of sexual harassment in
the workplace, and I would expect women
to actually be more prepared to blow the
whistle when sexual harassment in the
workplace occurs,” Bums said.

William Mavity, a Minneapolis lawyer
who has represented many women in
sexual harassment lawsuits, also didn’t
see Thomas’ confirmation necessarily as a
setback for women.

“T think Anita Hill’s courage by itself
will give women strength and make them
feel that it’s important to come forward,
even women working for people in
positions of great responsibility,” he said.

An investigation of the Albany
State University Black Alliance
(ASUBA) by the Central Council
Internal Affairs Committee, has
led to the dismissal of ASUBA
President Kahina Van Dyke, due
to her lack of qualifications and
violations of the group’s
constitution, according to Central
Council Internal Affairs Chair
JGdy Wolpoff.

The investigation was
Prompted by the discovery of
unauthorized vouchers from
ASUBA’s programming line,
according to the report which
was released at Wednesday’s
Central Council meeting.

ASUBA’s officers was another
issue being investigated but the
“money was a catalyst which
made people look further into the
situation,” Wolpoff said.

The investigative report
contained a memo from Craig
Butler, last year’s Political
Action Chair (PAC) for ASUBA,
which invalidated this year’s
ASUBA elections. The reason
for this action was a lack of
qualifications of the officers.

According to the constitution,
the PAC can recall elections at
any time if they are in violation
of the constitution, according to
Nicole Sharpe, S.A. vice
president and ASUBA member.

enforce these decisions even
though he is not presently a
member of ASUBA or enrolled
at SUNYA, since the position is
ratified in ASUBA’s constitution.

Van Dyke attempted to spend
approximately $1800 of
ASUBA’s money without
authorization, said Derek
Westbrook, ASUBA’s former
president, who has been
reinstated.

Van Dyke said she did not
know anything about the
investigation. “I feel 1 attempted
to do programming and was
hindered by a small group of
junior politicians of SA’s
executive board.”

When asked about the cause of
the investigation, she said,
“personalities were mixed with
politics, people started choosing
sides, like Nicole Sharpe,
Vencent Lewis and Derek
Westbrook and it started getting
out of hand.”

Lewis, a member of Central
Council and ASUBA, responded
to Van Dyke’s statement, “This is
not a Clarence Thomas trial. If
Ms. Van Dyke has any problems
with the investigation of ASUBA
or any other groups, she has the
right to hold people accountable.

grad employee ruling

State University of New York
officials Wednesday said they
may appeal a decision
recognizing graduate and
teacher assistants as state
employees with the right to
unionize.

The Public Employment
Relations Board (PERB)
decided last week that although
ithe assistants are students, they
maintain a regular and
consistent work schedule.

“The assistants are substantial
employees, in that they worked
15-20 hours a week during the
academic year,” said John
Crotty, a spokesman for PERB.

However, SUNY Chancellor
'D. Bruce Johnstone said
students are primarily students
land should not be considered as
employees for the purpose of
collective bargaining.”

“Student status is necessary to
the assistant position and their
employment is only secondary
to that,” said Mardi Massaroni, a
spokeswoman for the Office of
Employee Relation.

SUNY officials said an appeal
would be filed by OER on
SUNY’s behalf.

The Graduate Student

Employees Union has sought!
state employee status for grad
students since 1984, when it first
filed petition to PERB.

They have since organized)
under a parent union, the
Communications Workers of|
America.

“Students who are required by
financial circumstances to work
while getting an education|
deserve the protection of a labor
union,” CWA said in a prepared|
statement.

In 1987, a previous decision
made by PERB’s director of|
Practices and Representation|
said assistants were students
first.

Jan Pierce, a spokeswoman}
for CWA, called last week’s|
reversed decision a “major
victory for these workers who}
deserve the same rights as public’
employees.”

Eric Coppolino, editor of the|
New York State Student Leader|
news service, said grad students|
do a significant amount of work|
for SUNY.

“Although employment may
be incidental, some GA’s and!
TA’s teach up to 40 percent of|
classes, such as (at) SUNY!
Stony Brook,” Coppolino said.

POWs tortured

London
(AP) Two British flyers captured in the
Gulf War tell in a book published
yesterday of their torture by the Iraqis and
say five British commandos had their
fingernails torn out.

Flight Lt. David Waddington, 24, and
Flight Lt. Robbie Stewart, 44, are quoted
as saying the commandos belonged to the
British army’s-€lite Special Air Service
regiment.

The SAS committed sabotage behind
Traqi lines, and Waddington and Stewart
said the five were subjected to especially
horrific torture because they were the
toughest of the captured Britons.

They said Iraqi interrogators tore out
the commandos’ fingernails and burned
their legs but gave no other details about
them. SAS activities are shrouded in
secrecy and the regiment gives no public
details about its members.

The $29 book, “Thunder and.

Beirut, Lebanon
(AP) A Hezbollah official said Tuesday

heads the chief executive body of the pro-

He said the Iranians were dealing with
the United Nations, but did not elaborate.

“Hezbollah is concerned with the

holds Israeli prisoners. We do not hold
any of the hostages.” Khalil told a news

He was reiterating Hezbollah’s position
that it has nothing to do with the
kidnappings, although Western

Tuition on the rise

New York

Public colleges and universities are
hitting students with the biggest tuition
increases in eight years as campuses in at
least 30 states struggle to make up deep
budget cuts.

Average tuition and fees at four year
public institutions rose 12 percent from
$2,137 this fall from $1,908 in 1990-91:
the first return to double digit college
inflation since 1983-84 when rates also
went up 12 percent, the College Board
reported Tuesday in its annual tuition
survey. -

Counting average room and board
charges of $3,251, the typical four-year
public school tab for state residents stands
at $5,488. At 2 year public colleges,
average tuition and fees are up 13 percent
to $1,022, compared with $906 the
previous year.

Average rates at four year private
colleges went up by a far smaller 7
percent.

Prison tempers flare

Albany
(AP) Tempers flared over state prison
policies Tuesday, with the president of the
guards union calling legislators “slimy
bastards” and a simmering battle between
the corrections commisioner and the top
prison watch dog boiling over.

Disagreements over how to handle new
inmates entering the 58,000 inmate
system may dominated a meeting of the
state Commission of Correction Tuesday.

Council 82 President Thomas Kennedy.
blamed the state legislature for crowding
the system because it has not authorized
new prisons. The system was operating at
116.9 percent capacity on Tuesday.

“The only way we can get out of this
problem ...is new construction,” Kennedy
said. “The slimy bastards in the legislature
are not dealing with the issue at hand.”

“You Can only put so many sardines in a
can,” Kennedy complained of efforts to
increase capacity of the existing prisons.

“I think he must have meant the
Assembly because the Senatre has always
wanted to build prisons,” said Sen. Paul
Kehoe, a Wayne County Republican and
chairman of the Senate Corrections
Committee. Steven Greenberg, a
spokesman for Assembly Speaker Mel
Miller, had no comment.

New phone system proposed for all quads

By Liz Donatello

The problem of students
propping open residence hall
doors or the banging on
windows could end, if the
proposal for a new phone system
being developed by the Plant
Department, in conjunction with
the Department of Public Safety
(UPD), is successful.

UPD Officer Randy Fine
suggested, in a comprehensive
proposal he put before the
President’s Task Force on
Women’s Safety, the installation
of telephones on the four major
quads uptown, each of the
Freedom common buildings, and
each of the Alumni Quad
buildings.

The purpose of the suggested

Students

By Janie Ja-Eun Kim
A series of workshops held
this week helped “students
acknowledge they had to
reevaluate their drinking habits,”
said Scott Mimms, director of
Middle Earth Counseling Center.
The workshops were held in
conjunction with National
Collegiate Alcohol Awareness
‘Week, which ends this Saturday.
According to Mimms, the
week provided a forum for off-
campus treatment centers, civic
organizations, and county
agencies to communicate what
resources they have available to
students. Everyday,
representatives from Conrail
Police, Rid, Albany Citizens
Council on Alcoholism, Albany
Traffic Safety, Albany County
Substance Abuse, Stop DWI,
Middle Earth, and UCC
dispensed information from
Campus Center Info Tables.
Presentations and workshops
were held in the residence halls,
discussing the physiological
effects of alcohol and the steps
to alcohol abuse rehabilitation.
Mimms linked alcohol to
safety issues. Alcohol is a

phones is to allow visiting
students to call a friend’s room
from one of the phones outside
and have them come down and
open the door versus, standing
out there knocking all night, or
worse, propping the doors open,
according to Fine.

“The biggest security issue we
face is students propping doors
open,” Fine said.

The proposed phones would
include out-dialing only
capabilities, and a speakerphone
feature to discourage personal
calls. The number of phones,
and their exact placement on
each quad is still being assessed,
said Fine and Dennis Stevens,
assistant vice president and
director of the Physical Plant,

commented.

Fine and Stevens said the
phones will be placed in an area
centrally located on the four
uptown quads, at the entrance of
the five Alumni Quad buildings
and the entrance to the four
Freedom Quad common
buildings.

The phones would also
provide students with emergency
call access to UPD and Five
Quad ambulance.

Fine’s proposal is not the first
proposal of its kind, nor is it the
only one currently being
reviewed by Stevens. The Plant
Department has to assess the
proposals and come up with a
single cost effective plan before
the phones can be put in place,

Stevens said.

The greatest concern is to find
a phone system which is both
minimal cost and vandal
resistant.

“The potential for misuse is
high and we want to plan for
that,” Stevens said.

Fine expects to have a
complete proposal ready for
consideration within the next
few weeks, It will then be
reviewed by Residential Life,
and ultimately by University
President H. Patrick Swygert
before the phones can be put in
place, Stevens said.

The new proposals, and the
attention being paid to the issue,
reflects the University’s growing
efforts to make the campus safer,

contributing factor in
acquaintance rape, vandalism,
racial incidents, Mimms said. It
is also the number one killer of
young people under the age of
25.

A community forum on
Tuesday helped ease tensions
between students and their off-
campus neighbors, Mimms said.
It left civic leaders with “ a good
impresseon of our students,” he
said.

“Unfortunately, there is a
small percentage of of our

student body with alcohol
problems that define the rest of
us in many’s eyes.”

Many students expressed
discontent with the University’s
alcohol policy. After recieving
literature on DWI from
“Vince”and “Larry”, the crash
test “dummies”that roamed the
podium all week, Tim Coleman,
a junior, said, “I think it’s
hypocritical for faculty to and
legislators to condescend to us.
They had their fun and now they
are trying to deny us our rights.”

Bryon Moody, programming
director of Residental Laife said
the purpose of national
Collegiate Alcohol Awareness
was not to tell students to drink,
but to equip them with the facts
needed to make informed
decisions. As a former residence
director, he said, “I believe that
at least 70% of judicial referrals
made are linked with alcohol,
whether it be vandalism,
conflict, or violence.” He added
in matters of alcohol and
substance abuse,“we need to act
collectively as a community in
addressing issues.”

Early prevention is crucial,
said Mary Kelly, an education
referral specialist at Albany
Citizens Council on Alcoholism.
“Its a lot easier to prevent a
problem then having to treat the
problem later.”

“Alcohol is a toxic substance,
If you ask how many people
drank when in high school,
probably, the majority of hands
would go up. If you asked how
many people ran into problems
because of it, not too many
hands would go down,” Kelly
said.

Fine said. At least one Albany
student agreed. “I’m glad the
University is showing a greater
commitment to safety this year,”
said an Alumni Quad resident.
“Tt’s about time.”

The main benefit of the new
phones seems to be convenience.
“Personally, I think it’s a great
idea since I’ve stood outside for
fifteen minutes in the freezing f-
ing cold, waiting for someone to
let me in,” said Adam Viveritto,
an off campus resident with
friends on campus.

As another SUNYA male-puts
it, “Hey that’s great. Now I don’t
have to break into the dorms
when I want to see my friends.”

NYPIRG launches the James Bay Protest phase two

By Mark Gillman

Several SUNYA students
participated in a protest against
the James Bay II hydroelectric
project on Monday.

The project’s first phase,
James Bay I, was started in 1973
by Hydro-Quebec, Inc. It is
about to begin its second phase;
an effort to flood a sparsley
populated area of Canada in
order to produce electricity.
Some of the electricity will be

exported to New York State and
several New England states.

A New York Public Interest
Research Group (NYPIRG)
spokesperson said the purpose of
the protest was to “ask Governor
Cuomo to cancel the contracts
with Hydro-Quebec.”

The protesters marched from
the New York State Capitol to
the Governor’s Mansion carrying
signs reading, “Save the Cree
and Inuit [Indian Tribes]” and

Protesters marched from the Capitol to the Governor's Mansion Monday.

“Conservation

Environmental destruction. The
choice is simple.” They chanted
slogans, such as “Hey Hey! Ho
Ho! Hydro-Quebec has got to
go!” and “Ban the Dam.”

Among the protesters was the
coordinator of SUNYA
NYPIRG’s James Bay project,
Michelle Gibbens. “We oppose
James Bay for economic, human
rights, and environmental
reasons,” Gibbens said.

According to Darren Dopp
from Governor Cuomo’s press
office, “New York State recently
put off a decision on the
contracts until November 30 of
1992. We have until that time to
review the need for power and
the environmental impact.”

The environmental impact,
according to Gibbens, has been
great so far. “Many Cree have
mercury poisoning. The mercury
always existed naturally in the
earth and soil. When the ground
was flooded it got into the water

and then into the fish the Cree
ate,” said Gibbens. Another
environmental impact “in
addition to an entire ecosystem
being put underwater and the
resulting mercury poisoning is
the release of Greenhouse
gases.”

Dopp said if the state does not
go through with the contract, it
may be necessary to build coal
fueled power plants, which are
polluting.

Gibbens said other alternatives
are available. “According to the
Rocky Mountain Institute, an
energy consulting organization,
New York State can reduce its
energy need by 34% with
existing technology...[this
includes] things like going into
existing plants and replacing
motors.”

Dopp said the state will
consider all alternatives.

Gibbens said, “The Cree have
been fighting it [the project] in
court since James Bay I was
started in 1973,”

“It requires large scale

movement of the Cree, They
have to change a lifestyle
they’ve had for thousands of
years,” she said.

Dopp stressed the right of
Canada to handle its own
internal affairs. He said, “I don’t
believe the Governor would say
the Canadian government should
do one thing or another.”

A member of the Grand
Council of the Cree, Wil
Nichols, disagreed with Dopp’s
Statement.

“That’s a bunch of B.S. You
have standards for meat that
comes into your country. Why
the hell not standards for
energy?” he said.

Nichols, outraged by the
Hydro-Quebec project said,
“They’re paying us only $.15 an
acre. It’s land theft in this day
and age.”

“It’s wrong, it’s injust and it’s
definitely against any human
rights. It belongs back in the
1800's,” Nichols said.

Dating violence can be stopped if signs are recognized

By Bonnie Carlson

“Did you see Julie this
morning?” “Yeah, she looks real
bad. What happened to her?”
“Her boyfriend was up for the
weekend again and they had
another fight, I think. It sure got
loud there for a while.” “You
were around when they were
fighting?” “Yeah.” “Why didn’t
you try to do something?” “Like
what, you know she would just
be embarrassed. And there’s no
telling what he would do.”
“Yeah, I guess you’re right, we
better mind our own business.”

These two students are
discussing “Dating Violence,” a
phenomenon they have not even
have a label for yet. And it’s not
only affecting their friend Julie,
but probably lots of other
students they know, male and
female, on this campus and most
others. In fact, recent research
studies on campuses similar to
Albany have shown that
anywhere from 20-35 percent of
students have been involved in a
violent relationship.

What do we mean by
“violence” here? Violence in this
situation can be defined as any
behavior intended to hurt
another person. This would
include fairly minor things like
slapping or shoving a dating
Partner, to more serious kinds of
behavior such as kicking them,
beating them up, or using a
weapon on them. The more
serious types of violence are less
common, but based on the

research findings, as many as
150 students on this campus
might be expected to use a
weapon against someone they
are dating in a given year.

What kinds of students are
most vulnerable to ending up in
a violent dating relationship?
Students just like you who find
themselves in a relatively
serious, long term relationship,
who may live together.
Generally they say they are in
love with each other and really
care about them; typically have a
sexual relationship with one
another. And it is not just males
who engage in dating violence
— women are also violent,
although it is not known how
often they initiate the violence
versus retaliate violently or use
violence to protect themselves.
Most victims and perpetrators
are embarrassed about their role
in the violence and know deep
down that it’s not a good thing.
But this embarrassment may
prevent them from obtaining
help to end the violence, which
usually means telling someone
else. Many victims don’t even
tell their best friends.

Why would a couple who care
about one another hurt each
other this way? Some don’t view
violence as deviant in a loving
relationship, because they saw or
experienced such behavior when
they were growing up. Slapping
others and exploding violently
are considered normal.

experienced the kind of intensity
they have found in this important
love relationship, and the belief
develops that they could not
function without the partner. An
unhealthy degree of dependency
has developed and the person
feels so desperate to maintain the
relationship that they will do
anything to keep the other
partner.

Still others are under
tremendous stress from a variety
of sources, tend take it out on
their loved one, Others get
extremely jealous of their partner
and have unrealistic expectations
about relationships.

But regardless of the kind of
people involved, or what their
particular issues are, what many
of these incidents have in
common is that one or both
partners have consumed alcohol
or drugs in large amounts prior
to or during the conflict. Being
intoxicated quickly helps move
things from bad to worse by
enabling people to say and/or do
things that they might not
otherwise. There is no way
alcohol can help an argument.

There are numerous possible
consequences of being in a
violent dating relationship from
social, to academic, and legal
that are worth considering. For
one thing, we have learned that
over time, violence tends to
escalate rather than go away, so
if you don’t do something
significant about it when it first
happens you can assume it could

get worse. Which also means
that one or both of you could be
injured, seriously, especially if
weapons are involved. Since the
behavior we are talking about is
assault, a crime, irrespective of
the relationship between the
Perpetrator and victim, arrest is
another possible consequence.

Other negatives _ that
Participants report include
academic problems, as their
primary focus gradually shifts
from school to a dangerous
relationship. Social problems
may also occur; once violence
has become part of a regular
pattern in a relationship, it is
pretty hard to keep a secret. It
makes others uncomfortable.
Initially they may want to help,
but not know how or be
ambivalent about how to go
about it.

But eventually, other people
get frustrated and give up,
leaving the participants socially
isolated at a time when they
perhaps most need others.
Substance abuse may occur or
increase as the participants
attempt to medicate their
emotional symptoms. This
couple may even go on to marry
one another, and have children;
we know that in many cases
Marital violence began as
premarital violence.

What can you do if you are in
a violent relationship now, or
fear that it will become violent?
What about if you have a friend
who is so involved? The first

thing is to recognize that you are
not alone but you do not have to
continue being a victim or being
violent. Help is available at
several places on campus.

If you are living in a residence
hall, most RA’s and Directors
have received information and
training on dating violence and
are prepared to talk with you and
refer you to the most appropriate
place on campus to get help,
which might well be the
University Counseling Center
(5800) with professional
counseling staff.

Students can be seen
individually, as part of a group
of students with similar
problems, or as a couple. *

Seeking help doesn’t mean
you’re crazy; it means that
you’re healthy enough -to
recognize that you’re into
something too big to handle
alone. Helpers recognize that
many students wish to continue
the relationship with their
partner, but in a nonviolent way.
Others may need assistance in
ending a relationship that does
not seem salvageable. It may
also be appropriate to take
advantage of mediation services
offered through Dispute
Mediation Center on Campus
(5830), or even to contact
University Police (3131).

By Lance Vallis
[EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

In recognition of World Food
Day on Wednesday, the
University at Albany
participated in the Eighth
‘Annual World Food Day
Satellite Teleconference.

This year’s conference,
which was entitled “The
Hunger Puzzle: Adding the
Macroeconomic and
International Pieces,” dealt
with the new free market
leconomic policies now
spreading through Latin
America and the Caribbean and
their impact on hunger and
|poverty.

The first hour of the three-
hour seminar was an open
discussion among panelists
Antonio Cabrera, Brazilian
minister of agriculture;
economic futurist Hazel
Henderson, economic advisor
for Latin America and the
Caribbean at the World Bank
Norman Hicks; and Caribbean
development specialist
Atherton Martin of Dominica,
moderated by author Georgie

Economics Jolyne Melmed-
Sonjak, who also has a joint
appointment with the Latin
‘American and Caribbean
Studies Department and is

In the last hour, high schools
and colleges in the Western
Hemisphere were given the|
opportunity to phone in
questions to the panelists in
Washington, D.C,

“The economic policies
imposed upon Latin American
countries by the World Bank}
and the International Monetary}
Fund (IMF) have shown little]
progress. The powers—that—be}
who insist upon these policies
argue they will improve}
conditions in the long run.
Currently, however, they are}
doing little,” Melmed-Sonjak|
said,

According to
Melmed-Sonjak, one of the
main macroeconomic problems|
facing these countries is the
need for structural adjustment.
This involves taking away!
government subsidies and
reducing government
involvement in the economy.

Another change which needs|
to be made, Melmed—Sonjak,
said, is agrarian reform. In

land, while the poor have little
or no land. Melmed-Sonjak}
said, “Thére must be more land]

BDITORIAL
Phones are a

good idea

Congratulations are in order to Randy Fine, public
safety officer, and the Plant Department. If their,
proposal for a telephone system on the four quads,|
Freedom Quad and Alumni goes through, this campus
could be a much safer place to live.
The proposed system would station a telephone in a
central area outside the dorms, so that visitors could call
friends to let them into the building.

This is much better than the current door-propping or|
‘window opening method. Few students give thought to}
danger caused by leaving doors and windows open.|
Anyone could gain access to the dorms. With all the!
recent crime, both on and off campus, this is not the time
to be taking chances.

Another idea the campus should consider is replacing}

suite room doors that automatically close. The doors on!
Dutch Quad, for example, do not stay open unless you|
prop them open with a chair or other heavy object. It is|
very easy to forget the door has been propped, and leave!
it for extended periods of time. Students would probably,
be much more apt to close their doors if keeping them!
open was not such an involved task. The mentality is,
why move a couch more than once a day. I'll just prop
the door open in the morning and (maybe) close it at
night, thus avoiding too much heavy lifting.
This is a dangerous habit to get into, and increases the|
probability of robberies or worse. _
Furthermore, the suite doors on Dutch could also use|
new locks. It is very difficult to tell when the door is}
locked and when it is not from the outside. A wrong
turn of the key, and the door could be left open.
Suite doors should be constructed like room doors.
‘When you want it open, you should be able to just have|
jit open, without moving furniture around. When you]
want it locked, a simple turn of the key should lock it;
ino automatic locking, no complex turns. When safety is
jat hand, the rule is , the simpler the better.

Hey you -
Look out!!!

SUNY Albany, once deemed a haven for pedestrians,
is now a pedestrians nightmare. Why? Because fimess|
land thrill freaks on wheels have taken over the podium.
It doesn't matter what the mode of transport is. In-line’
skaters (a.k.a. Rollerbladers), bicyclers, and even
skateboarders all seem to have the same effect. They,
travel at amazing speeds, with little thought or care for}
those around them. Walkers are forced to step aside, or}
ibe flattened.

People that use recreational or fitness equipment on|
campus should be wary of those around them. Walkers,
lor people in wheelchairs, should not have to fear for}
their life and limb every time they turn a corner.

The campus is a tempting place to bring blades or al
skateboard. Its smooth surface makes it an ideal place

COLUMN

Real issues were clouded

It’s a shame that such a cloud hangs over the Clarence
Thomas hearings. It’s even more shameful that the
considerations that should have weighed heavily did
not.

Ask anyone whether they felt Thomas should have
received the Supreme Court confirmation (he did), and
most replies, male or female, black or white, Democrat
or Republican, will sound something like, “Yes, I don’t
think he made those sexual comments,” or “No, he
probably said those things.”

The issue of sexual harassment has covered the real
issues like the robe that will cover Thomas.

What is Thomas’ stand on abortion? Before the
judiciary hearings, that’s all anyone discussed. One Anita
Hill spoke out, abortion and other issues were pushed to
the background. It’s ironic that had the sexual harassment
accusations never surfaced, with a Democratic majority

in the Senate, Thomas may have faced more opposition

abortion.

Instead, news junkies were treated to Senator Orrin
Hatch reading excerpts of The Exorcist.

How does Thomas interpret the First Amendment?
“Free speech” issues to swirl overhead, with arguments
focusing on flag-burning, obscene lyrics, and nude
dancing. We as United States citizens would probably

‘ prefer to know if Thomas feels that a gag order on

federally-funded clinics who advise clients on abortion is
constitutional, not whether he fits the “endowed black
male” stereotype.

Instead, we hear references to human/animal sexual
relations and large breasts. And discussed by Senator Ted
Kennedy (D-Mass.), no less.

If you feel that the investigation by the Senate
Judiciary Committee was worthwhile because it cleared
Thomas’ name, consider this: according to several legal
experts, Hill’s testimony, along with witness
corroborations, would have clearly won her a civil suit in
a court of law. A former press secretary of Thomas’,
Angela Wright, testified that Thomas had made queries
about her breast size, had arrived unannounced at her
apartment, and frequently pressured Wright into dating
him.

Conversely, supporters of Hill shouldn’t act too self-
righteous, either. As Thomas noted, he has been
confirmed more than once since the alleged harassment
occurred almost 10 years ago, and not once did Hill
speak out. Her timing, by her own admission, was

undoubtedly poor. Besides, why did she later go out of
her way to associate with a man who harassed her, to the
extent of following him from one job to another?

A panel of senators was recruited to be judges but none
of then. vanted to do it. They had one week to determine
which of the two sides was lying when perhaps no one
will ever be sure. All were white males who called Hill
“professional” and “brave” in one breath, and said their
opinions of Thomas were unchanged in the next.

Senator Dennis DeConcini (D-Arizona), no stranger to
accusations of impropriety, summed up nicely why the
whole sexual harassment tangent ended up worthless in
the minds of the Committee. “It’s inconclusive, the whole
progress, in this senator’s judgment...to change my
support, so I will vote for Judge Thomas,” he said.

Hill’s accusations should have been noted (without her
public appearance, as originally intended) and presented
to Thomas, who would have then denied them. The
committee could have moved on to more productive
questions, like why is Thomas opposed to affirmative
action, a policy which is undoubtedly responsible for his
new position on the Court? Or how does he feel about
sentencing a mentally retarded and/or underaged killer to
the electric chair?

In the hours before the yote was taken, one by one,
senators stood up and argued whether or not Thomas was
to be believed. It took Senate Majority Leader George
Mitchell (D-Maine) to voice his discomfort with
Thomas’ sidestepping of the real issues, way back when
the confirmation proceedings weren’t scandal-ridden. BY
then, the only accomplishment from the hearings was 2
newfound demand for footage (no pun intended) of the
now-famous Long Dong Silver.

Why didn’t the issue of Thomas’ lack of judicial
experience ever come up? He has only served one year
on federal appeals court, if anyone is interested.

After the vote, the whole process seemed ludicrous.
Who is to say there wasn’t a conspiracy involved. In an
attempt to draw attention away from Thomas’
conservativeness, perhaps President Bush or Thomas of,
in a rare flash of guile, Vice President Quayle, paid off
Hill et al to act out this devilish play.

Maybe Hill made up the whole story, as some senators
believe, because she’s unstable.

The strangest scenario is the simplest one. Maybe the
United States Senate has just confirmed to the Supreme
Court a foul-mouthed conservative who will furthef
restrict laws governing abortion.

| Pret OMGN and Ex-CoOn

Garry Marshall is a Hans Christian
Andersen for the ‘90’s. His last
fairytale, Pretty Woman, grossed more
money than I can imagine, and his
latest, Frankie and Johnny, should do
just fine at the box office.

Adam Meyer

What he did for whores he now tries
to do for released prisoners. Johnny
{Al Pacino) is the nicest ex-con you'll
ever meet. He’s witty, a skilled cook,
carves flowers out of raw potatoes,
and quotes Shakespeare. He takes a
job working the grill at the Apollo
Cafe, where he meets the woman of
his dreams, Frankie (Michelle
Pfeiffer).

She’s the kind of gal who doesn’t
need a man; after all, what did she
buy a VCR for? Actually, Frankie is
very lonely but, having been in one
failed relationship too many, is afraid
to get involved. That doesn’t deter
Johnny, who borders on the annoying
in his single-minded pursuit of her.

Finally, he convinces her to go to a
party with him. (Actually he shows
up at her apartment that night and
leaves her no choice.) Their pleasant
evening ends up with a role in the

hay, but the next day Johnny finds
that Frankie is more distant than ever.

Will these two ever get together? Of
course they will, but it’s great fun to
watch them realize it. The acting is
superb, from the stars to the
supporting actors. Pacino is believable
and sympathetic as the lonely cook,
but Pfeiffer is a stand out here.

In a role § <
originally
played . by
Kathy Bates
(Misery) on
stage, Pfeiffer
is made up to
look quite
plain looking
and somewhat
drab, an effort
which only
half succeeds.
She adds to the
illusion by the
way she acts,
moving like a
woman
uncomfortable
with her own

best actresses working today.
Someone should get Gary Marshall
a prostitute so he realizes what they
really do for a living. Perhaps one of
the funniest scenes in the movie (this
one unintentionally so) is when
Johnny, feeling down, goes out and
gets a hooker. He asks her if she

knows the “spoon position.” She

doesn’t, but
she’s willing to
learn. They go
back to his
place and we
see them lying
in bed, fully

clothed, like
spoons in a
drawer. Do

prostitutes
ever have sex
anymore?

single room on a single night. The last
scene, set in Frankie’s apartment, does
get a little claustrophobic, but the
performances are strong enough to
maintain viewer interest.

Some of the serious scenes border
on the melodramatic (tor example,
Frankie and Johnny sharing their first
kiss in front of a flower truck),
undermining the film’s power, which
comes mainly from it’s humorous
moments. The employees at the diner
are all good for a laugh or two, and
frankie’s gay neighbor steals every
scene he’s in. Both Pacino and Pfeiffer,
an unlikely pair for a romantic
comedy, have genuine comic ability.

Frankie and Johnny is predictable,
sentimental, and not very subtle. But
it’s also witty, touching, and rather
funny, and with the drought of
movies that trigger any emotion, let
alone such a range, this is a film that
should not be overlooked.

SUNY Albany-Life in the Coliege Zone
The Stepford Roomate from Mars

At first, everything seemed terrific.
You met each other on the first day
and it was like you had known each
other all your life. She even let you
have the bottom bunk so you
wouldn’t fall three feet to that cold,
hard floor in the middle of the night
while you were dreaming about
having sex with Tom Cruise, Rob
Lowe and Patrick Swayze in your
Soc115 class in front of LC7. He was so
cool to let you drive his Ferrari
Testarossa convertable around
Perimeter Road doing 120 without a
license. And he didn’t care when UPD
caught you, slapped him with a $300
ticket and suspended his license for
reckless endangerment of
speedwalker’s lives. Then things
started to get a little weird.

Sheryl Rubin

You hadn't noticed before that your
roommate never has even one crease
in his perfectly pressed Izod shirts,
even when they are still hung up. You

never looked closely enough to notice
that all of her shoes are always
polished, shiny and lined up by color
order on shelves at the bottom of her
closet. The strangest thing was that
your roommate always has this glassy
look in his or her eyes like someone
who is totally spaced out, but he or
she has never gotten a grade below
110 or A+++. Finally, the last tell-tale
sign unearths itself when you go
down to dinner one night and your
roommate not only enjoys UAS food,
he goes back up for seconds and
thirds.

Something definitely isn’t kosher
here. She’s nice, but she definitely
reminds you of Carol Brady. He’s
smart, but no normal person is that
intelligent, unless your talking about
Doogie Howser, M.D. And even he
seems more grounded than this guy
is. There is absolutely no way that this
person can be for real, unless your
living in 1950's TV dreamland.

Then one night, typists revenge!, at
about 3 A.M., you hear this really
eerie noise coming from the lounge in

your hall. You notice that your
roommate hasn't slept in his bed and
the hospital corners are neat as a pin
as usual. You go to check out what's
going on and as you are leaving your
suite, this blinding light hits you in
the face. You hear a voice calling you,
telling you not to be afraid, that no
one is going to hurt you as long as
you do what you are told. All of a
sudden, you feel something pulling
you, a force that can not be fought.
You are pulled into a silver colored
Toom with 1,000 other beings that look
like college students with no eyes.
Your roommate is there, smiling that
dopey smile that annoys you to death.
Everyone else there has the same
freaky look.

A high powered super computer is
programming all of them by voice
activation. It sounds like your mother.
“You will eat your vegetables and
take your vitamins. You will get
straight A’s. You will act as perfect
ladies and gentlemen. You will keep
your room immaculate.”, etc.
Everyone in hearing distance gets

brainwashed, including other
perfectly normal students like
yourself, You try to fight it, but the
force is too strong. Suddenly your
roommate comes over to you, to
comfort you. “It’s all right”, she says,
“Everything will be fine.” Then she
reveals her true self. Oh, no, she’s
Felix Unger! They’re all Felix Unger,
screaming at you “How can you live
in this pigsty?”

Is it a dream? Maybe, maybe not.
The next time you see your roommate,
take a good, long look at him or her.
Does she stay up until all hours of the
night studying and still wake up at six
in the morning, always looking as
perky as Mary Tyler Moore? Does he
ever even have one hair out of place
or smell like bad morning breath? He
could be one of thm. They could be
all around you, in your hall, your
classes, your fraternal organization, a
favorite club or bar. They could be
anywhere. I could be one of them.
Just might approach you with that
same stupid look and say "Gottcha!".

Ad's Last GASP

This week, Gaspers, | come to the word processor without any
agenda or topic or even the vaguest clue about what to write.
Instead I'll just be rather informal, discussing whatever happens to
be on my mind. (Which at the moment is fantasizing that Michelle
Pfeiffer is brushing my teeth. Maybe I've seen her new movie one
too many times.)

| should inform all of you that | have discovered a conspiracy
between UAS and the KGB. You see, the Soviets are trying to
poison the brightest American minds by depriving them of decent
meals. Why they came to SUNYA is anyone’s guess. If you notice
that my column is blank next week, you'll know why.

By the way, those people who persist in adding an ‘S’ to the end of
my name, it’s MEYER, like Oscar Mayer with an ‘e’. From now on |
won't open any fan mail on which my name is misspelled. Okay, |’ll
open it but | won't hang it on the wall behind my desk. All right, I'll
hang it on the wall behind my desk, but | wont frame it. All right, I'll
frame it, but | wont be happy about it.

For those who give a shit, did you know, that this is the fifth
anniversary of “Ad’s Last Gasp”? That's right, this is my fifth
installment of the (in)famous column. You may be thinking, Big deal.
If you knew how many death threats | received daily, you would be
more impressed.

There are probably a lot of people who see the same names in the
ASP, week after week, year after year, and wonder what the people
behind them are really like. Perhaps you've even created images in
your mind. If so, I’d like to shatter them with the uncensored—and,
in some cases, unflattering—truth.

Here it is: Andy the sports editor is incredibly good-looking, and
I'm not just saying that because we're practically twins. His taste in
baseball teams is questionable, but nobody’s perfect. Meghan the
managing editor looks a lot like a giant pumpkin; of course, maybe
she looks different without that silly costume on. Working.at the
newspaper has left her a couple of beers shy of a six pack, and
she’s convinced I'm as sick as she is. | continue to deny these
allegations, but | fear she may be right. Tom the news editor is the
person most wanted by people who can't find him. (I'm proud to say
that yours truly is a close second.) Jon from ad prod is the ASPs
Rodney Dangerfield, but if it wasn't for ads we'd all be paying ten
bucks an issue, so | think he deserves a little more respect. Noah
the typist is more than just a typist, he’s a critic, too:he not only
reviews movies and CDs but the articles he types in, too. (‘It's all
shit, | tell you! Utter shit!”) I've been told that Kerri the features
editor makes great brownies on news production nights, but since
we Aspects folks do our section the night before, | wouldn't know
about that, WOULD |, KERRI?

| don’t know how many are aware of the fact that my associate
editor, Erika, is preparing to take over the job of managing editor at
the end of the semester. Well, she is. However, allegations were
made by a member of the ASP photo staff (I can’t name names) that
she sexually harassed him. “She lured me into the stat room and
made obscene remarks referring to the negative paper,” he claims.
An investigation is currently underway. Read the ASP for further
details.

Call me crazy, but | don’t think UAS cuisine is that terrible. Hell, it's
better than the food | eat at home. You think I’m nuts? My brother
came up and he was highly impressed by the food quality. “This is
better than the stuff mom and dad makes,” he said. Which probably
says more about the Meyer homecooking than UAS.

I'm taking a journalism class (actually, half the class is made up of
ASP staffers—aren’t you glad we're all first learning how to be
journalists?) for which I've had to visit court a few times. Great
place. It's the next best thing to cable TV: you've got sex, drugs, and
murder. Speaking of the latter, | witnessed testimony in a case
where a man was being tried for killing his girlfriend's infant son. The
defense attorney was attempting to convince the jury that the
paramedics bashed the kid’s head in inside the ambulance. Ahuh.

According to my watch it’s now 12:68 (damn watch, it hasn't been
the same since | visited that nuclear power plant), which means it’s
time for me to split. Thank you, Gaspers, for indulging my madness
for yet another week. Until next time, | remain ...

Prince and the
Generation
Diamonds and Pearls
Paisley Park/Warner Bros. Records

New Power

Since the announced release date in
early August, when the new Prince
album didn’t come out, I roamed
around sadly humming “Someday my
Prince Will Come”, Snow White style.
Finally, a month later, the big day
arrived, so I scrounged up my pennies
and jauntily skipped to the record
store.

Prince’s new backup band, the New
Power Generation, played with him
on the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack, so
when they recorded Diamonds and
Pearls, they had experienced working
with the Royal One, and the
relationship between them showed in
the whole style of the album.

Although I’ve never been too keen
on rap, and a considerable portion of

the album can be considered as such,
his majesty did not disappoint me.
“Money don’t Matter Tonight” and
“Strollin” are cute jazzy pop songs,
that I’m sure everyone in the world
can relate to. “Insatiable”, one of the
two ballads, hits those bluesy
passionate, falsetto notes that are
practically Prince’s trademark. Prince
being a brutally honest (one might
even say crass) kind of artist,has
many songs on this album that deal
with sexual feelings and relationships,
and get pretty graphic. “Insatiable”
and “Gett Off” (the first release) are
prime examples.

Most of the rapping throughout the
album is done by Tony M. The
language is stark, raw, honest, and
sometimes angry. Let’s put it this way:
Tony got his point across to me and I
grew up in Wonder Bread, U.S.A.
(A.K.A. Beverly Hills, CA).

Naturally, there’s a lot of Prince-

style dance music, so don’t listen to
this album if you don’t feel like
getting up and boogying your butt off,
because that’s what you will end up
doing.

Provocative, honest, and real, this
album is a must-buy, because it’s got
at least one or two songs for every
mood you might possess. Whether
you are lonely, fed-up, in love, happy,
sad, horny, or otherwise, Diamonds
and Pearls is appropriate.

Oh! And by the way, the cover is
worth mentioning. Its a holograph of
prince with two beautiful girls. When
you move the cover back and forth,
one girl rubs Prince’s chest as he
closes and reopens his eyes!

[Billy Bragg
Don't Try This At Home
Electra Records

Upon hearing the words “don’t try
this at home”, images come to mind
lof T.V. commercials where fast racing
cars speed down slick mountain roads
lor skydivers on skis jump out of
helicopters onto snowy slopes. In the
fine print at the bottom of these ads
they always warn the unwitting
viewer not to attempt these fabulous
stunts on their own. The new release
from Billy Bragg, Don’t Try This At
|Home, possesses none of the risk that
these feats do unless intelligent,
thoughtful songs are prone to cause

bodily injury.

From the first guitar strums on the
fantastic opening track, ironically
named “Accident Waiting To
Happen,” one can hear that these
cleverly crafted songs about love and
Politics were no stroke of good luck. It
seems that Billy didn’t want to leave
anything to chance; it’s no accident
that he enlists the help of musicians
like guitarist/songwriter Johnny
Marr, vocalist Kristy Macoll, and the
guys who seem to be everywhere
these days, R.E.M. ‘s Michael Stipe
and Peter Buck. The talents of these
greats plus the heartfelt sentiments
Billy Bragg injects into every song
make Don’t Try This At Home a

fantastic collection of upbeat rock
tunes and tear-jerking ballads that
would compliment anyone’s record
collection.

Billy Brage’s style is unmistakable.
His distinctive vocals, melodic guitar
and wry sense of humor add up to
great songs that can be amusing at
times but usually carry a serious
message.

The message in “Rumors Of War”
and"Everywhere”has an especially
current theme about the horrors of
war. Other compositions like the
soulful “Wish You Were Her” and the
“Mother of the Bride" stray away from
the political and delve into the world
of lost loves and regrets. Not quite as

powerful as statements about war, but
moving nonetheless.

Although this entire record is|
enjoyable, the one track on Don’t Try|
This At Home that stands out is|
“Sexuality”, which could possibly be
the best single of 1991. It has a simple
melody, is catchy and the lyrics show
us Billy Bragg’s wit at its best,
“Sexuality” as well as the other fifteen
tunes on this album are definitely
worth a listen so, despite the warning}
in the title, do try this one at home.

Michael Hart and the Big Band Sound
provided an often unheard genre of
music to the University at Albany
community.

Playing almost exclusively jazz
Standards and ballads from the 1930's

The Verdict

LA Law is back in session. Last
Thursday, the Emmy award-winning
show returned to begin its sixth
season with a few changes. In fact, so
many people have been leaving,
joining and returning to the show that
viewers need a score card (and Benny
is having apoplexy just trying to keep
up). Also, the episode has a few
problems, but on the whole it’s a well
written effort which puts the show’s
best foot foward.

Mark Gallagher

Michelle Green is written out with
little more than a passing mention.
Her departure from the firm is a bit
contrived in light of the fact that she
was made partner at the end of last
season. (Her presence on the show is
felt in the character of Ann Kelsey,

trumpets, one drummer, one bassist,
and one guitarist that substituted fora
pianist. At a glance, the diverse ages
of the members in the band were
apparent, ranging from nineteen to
the late sixties and seventies.

The audience was fairly sparse
when the show first started at 9:00
P-m., perhaps due to discrepancies in
publicized times. Soon, however, a
respectable number of people filled
the ballroom. “Mediation” a bossa
nova featuring Tenor Saxist Danny

highlights. Although be started this
piece a bit unconvincingly, he soon
built up to an impressive finale. The

her look like Abby’s Twin.)

Susan Dey returnes as Grace Van
Owen, who was written out at the end
of last season. Grace is back with a lot
of emotional baggage and a client
who is a battered wife accused of
murdering her husband. This story
comprises the central plot and it is an
emotionally charged one. Dey does
an excellent job of giving Grace a hard
edge and a sense of subtle tragedy.
This plot will interest viewers for
more than a few episodes.

The three’new” characters that are
introduced in this episode show little
promise. Tom Verica plays Billy
Castroverti, the firm’s new associate.
This character appeared in two
episodes last season, but he now
appears to be included in the cast for
the sole purpose of increasing the
show’s hunk ratio in the wake of

softer tunes” Skylark” and “The
Music Never Ends” convinced quite a
few people to dance.

The second set began with”But
Beautiful” and “But Not For Me”, an
up-tempo jazz version of George
Gershwin’s ballad. The remainder
turned out to be a tribute to Glenn
Miller, a renowned composer of the
big band era. The band went through
“Serenade in Blue”, then a melody of
Miller’s songs, including “Little
Brown Jug” “Jersey Bounce” and
“String of Pearls”. Before closing the
second set, Hart warned the
audience,” when you leave tonight,
you won’t forget these two songs.”

Harry Hamlin and Jimmy Smits’
departures. There is slighty more
potential evident in Michael
Clumpsty’s “killer” ligitator Frank

sleazy that he makes Tommy
Mullaney look like a chior boy, but
doesn’t possess the ideals and charm
that make Tommy appealing. The
third addition, Susan Bloom, is by far
the worst, though. According to
Leland, she’s “vulgar, crass, and
insulting.” Personally, I think Leland’s
being kind. Bloom, played by
Conchata Ferrell (who played food
critic Lorna Landsberg during the
show’s second season), is a
Hollywood-type entertainment
lawyer who belongs on a sitcom, not a
drama.

The show’s veterans,however, are
still the cutting-edge characters and
lawyers they've always been. In the

The band then played “Moonlight
Serenade” and the Miller anthem “In

First trumpet Al Stewart
commented that playing in the
ballroom was a flashback to the forties
when he used to play with Benny
Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Charlie
Barnett, and Louis Prima. Stewart also
said he felt the music was appreciated
more by the older people in the
audience. According to Stewart, “the
music is only occasional fun for the
younger people. I can appreciate the
fact that they like contemporary music
better.”

Grace and tries to keep her personal
feelings from damaging their case.
Stuart and Ann struggle over a male

its exodus of attorneys and financial

secretary last season, serves on a jury
in a case that gives new meaning to
the term “sex and violence”. (A

SASU works for you

To the Editor:

Students on SUNY campuses are approaching the “winter
blues.” Its getting colder, and the days are about to get
shorter. Classes are dragging, and many of you are probably
worried about your finances (or lack thereof); budget cuts,
tuition hikes, and the higher costs of attending the
supposedly “accessible” SUNY certainly. Heighten your
concerns. As administrators close their doors to your
queries, it seems that no one is listening. Well, just before
you throw up your hands in despair, read on. That’s right,
there is light at the end of the tunnel.

The Student Association at the State University (SASU) is
that light. For those of you who don’t know (and for those
who forgot), SASU is a student run advocacy group, which
fights day (and often night) for SUNY students. And we
win!!! SASU has a long history of smashing victories; we
were instrumental in establishing thé Tuition Assistance
Program (TAP) in 1974, we won the right to have a voting
student sit on the SUNY Board of Trustees, and we
successfully joined the fight for SUNY divestment in South
Africa. In addition, SASU fiercely fought the tuition hikes,
by organizing and participating in numerous demonstrations
on many of the 64 SUNY campuses, and by getting media
to cover those actions. Last year, SASU succeeded in
increasing part time aid for community colleges, and helped
insure the passage of the Sexual Assault Bill, requiring
sexual assault prevention information to be distributed to
incoming students. So you see, SASU will stop at nothing to
alleviate the hardships of attending SUNY.

Another main goal of SASU is to work closely with
activists on campus, networking, and sharing ideas. In unity,
there is strength, right? So, to this end, SASU is holding our

Where were you?

To the Editor:

This letter is directed to all those “Latino” students who
were not present at the Candle Light Vigil on Monday,
October 14. As you may already know, the purpose of this
vigil was to inform people on the truth of Christopher
Columbus. Being a Latino of Puerto Rican descent, I felt
obliged to attend this event. However, some of these want-
to-be Pro-Latino individuals were not present. You may find
it interesting that these were not present. You may find it
interesting that these were the same, (or at least the most),
individuals who were against Fuerza Latina having a party
with BABGO. If you were not one of those individuals,
perhaps you are the one who have spent the past 1 - 10-years
complaining that the Latino Organizations on this campus
rarely do anything for the Latino Community. Or perhaps
you are the one who celebrated Columbus Day with the rest
of the others. In any event, YOU were not there,

If I insulted you, GOOD. You deserved it. Our people
have been struggling for years to finally confront this
problem and your support was definitely needed,

Nathan Lebron
President, Lambda Delta Eta Society

UPD and you

To the Editor:

This letter is written with the hope that the people affected
by the situation described herein will take it upon
themselves to bring pressure to bear so that change can
result. Tens of thousands of people, your sons and
daughters, attend institutions run by the State University of
New York. These Universities and Colleges are generally
self contained units within your community and provide all
the community-type services for those people attending and
living on the campus. There is one thing that you may not
know about, and the recent push to disclose crime on
campus statistically and realistically makes this issue all the
more important.

The State University system created what they call Public
Safety Departments. Some campuses call themselves police
or security but they all operate generally the same. These
Public Safety Officers are called upon to the job of police
officers but are asked to do this without sufficient statutory
authority, without being armed at most campuses, without
needed safety equipment, and without adequate training to
handle some of the calls that they are faced with. What does
this mean for the person attending these schools? Simply
that they receive less protection and services than ANY
local municipality would ever think to provide. The people
running SUNY will tell you different, that their officers are
the most educated, best trained officers around. But in
reality, they have stymied the measures that these Public
Safety Officers need to do the job that they are called upon
to do.

No other police department in the state sends their
officers out unarmed. Other police departments issue soft
body armor to protect their officers from attacks, both
physically and weapon inflicted. Other police departments
have provisions for disability retirement if their officers are
injured on the job. They also have provisions for either the
25 or 20 year half pay retirement so that when an officer
teaches the age where he can no longer be expected to chase
the bad guys, he can retire. Statutorily, police officers in
New York State can stop and frisk persons they encounter,
for weapons, to increase officer safety. Police officers are
not restricted from performing duties by arbitrary
jurisdictional boundaries. Believe it or not, Public Safety
Officers for the State University of New York have none of
these safeguards or provisions,

Why does the State University of New York, who is fully
aware of these inadequacies and limitations, allow this to

Continue? There is a school of thought that says police are
incompatible in a university environment. That is old
thinking. Until the State University of New York moves
their thinking into what is nearly the 21st century, they are
subjecting your children and yourselves to less than the
safest environment they could provide.

The officers of these public safety departments have been
trying for years to effect these changes. Because they are
Scattered across the state at various SUNY institutions, it is
difficult for them to get the necessary people to listen. As
we all know, there is power in numbers. If what you have
just read disturbs you as it does the officers who must do the
job, please let your senator or assemblyperson know how
you feel.

Marvin Miller
Public Safety Officer

Editor's note: this letter previously appeared in last Friday's
ASP. It is being reprinted due to typographical errors.

Concentrate on the job

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to Marvin Miller’s letter of
10/11, Mr, Miller’s request to have UPD officers carry
‘weapons is not only preposterous, but scary as well. While
he feels that students do not receive “equal” protection as
the citizens of Albany do, they in fact get more. The
students receive 24-hour protection from the UPD and if
any situation arises that requires the use of weapons or
force, the Albany, Guilderland, and State Police are each a
phone call away. Why should UPD officers be afforded the
same privileges as the men and women of the police who
spend years training and learning how and when to use
weapons and handle delicate situations. Surely such things
could never take place at SUNY, with so much of the
officers’ quality time being spent writing parking tickets,
and setting clever speed traps. Also, are these people really
qualified? If so then why aren’t they police officers?

The UPD officers’ desire for weapons is certainly more a
cry for respect than a decree of need. Exactly how many
armed robberies, hostage situations, and shootouts have
taken place on this campus in the past 100 years? Obviously
more than we know if the UPD is truly convinced they are
“under-equipped.”

Whether they like it or not, the real function of UPD is
like that of a security guard in any building; handle small
complaints, keep the peace, deter crime, and to tum matters
Over to proper authorities if it is so required. There are no
electrical gates or guards guards encompassing the campus,
so there is no reason UPD should feel obliged to be the only
outlet. (Hey UPD,) instead of getting too big for your
britches do your job effectively, look for those yellow
hangtags, and in this time of economic unrest, be damn
thankful you have a job.

people is wrong.”

“The investigation was done
because ASUBA’s constituents
were inquiring about the
leadership abilities of the
organization.”

Sharpe said, “If students are
doing activities violating policy,
then they will be investigated.
This isn’t an issue of personal
vendetta; I think that would be
childish.”

Derek Westbrook could not be
reached for comment.

Van Dyke entered into a
$1,000 contract to pay for a
conference leadership retreat in
Lake Placid last summer. Only 5
of ASUBA’s members attended,
according to the investigation

report. An estimated $375 was
spent on aparty for ASUBA
given this September, Sharpe
said.

ASUBA’s budget had a freeze
put on it until last night’s
Council vote. The vote, which
passed unanimous consent,
removed the freeze as a result of
Westbrook’s reinstatement and
called for a mass meeting of
ASUBA to inform its members.

Westbrook said he felt
ASUBA members had been
cheated since they lost half a
semester of programming and
activities due to the budget
freeze.

Jose Maymi, SA’s director of
multicultural affairs and a
member of ASUBA agreed with
‘Westbrook.

“ASUBA members on campus

are being short-changed because
we’re a month and a half into the
semester and no programming
has been done.”

Maymi commented on Van
Dyke’s position. “It’s
unfortunate that she was placed
under the microscope, it slowed
the movement of the
organization. I’m glad that
Derek is back,” he said.

The main goals Westbrook
intends for the future are “to
build back ASUBA, train new
members for leadership positions
and get things back on track as
soon as possible.

Keeping on top of SUNYA’s elevators

By Leanne Warshauer
_ EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
‘There are over fifty elevators
jon SUNYA’s campus. “That’s a
lot of elevators,” insisted Jim
(Fontaine, head stationary
engineer, in charge of keeping
the University’s elevators
running.
Some elevators are harder to
take care of than others.
‘Students may have noticed that
one elevator, located in the
‘Campus Center next to the
bowling alley, is always out of
order. Presently, it has been
inoperative for two weeks.

“It’s an old elevator,”
Fontaine said. He explained

most of the elevators on campus
were installed in 1964 or 1965,
when the University was being
built.

The elevators are “Dovers,”
he said, which is an old
company. “It’s hard to get
parts,” he said.

Fontaine said the Campus
Center elevator has a door
problem. The parts are on order,
he said, but it is impossible to
tell when they will arrive,

In the meantime, students can
use the other elevator in the
Campus Center, stationed next
to the bookstore. Or, they can
take the stairs.

College presidents tackle First Am.

By Ellen Kackman

First Amendment rights have
been the subject of intense
discussion within the State’s
educational ranks in the
aftermath of the highly
publicized Professor Leonard
Jeffries controversy. Three local
college presidents, including
University President H. Patrick
Swygert, met Wednesday in the
Campus Center Ballroom to
discuss the relationship between
the First Amendment and
college campuses,

Swygert, Sage Colleges
President Sara Chapman and
College of S. Rose President
Vaccaro met for the second
campus-sponsored forum of the
1991-1992 year, entitled The
First Amendment and Free
Speech on Campus: Presidential
Perspectives.

Chapman said the First
Amendment was the cornerstone
of the Democratic process.

“When analyzing the First
Amendment, we should keep in
mind what our founding fathers
wanted for the future, but we
shouldn’t necessarily feel limited
or bound by those ideals,”
Swygert said.

Swygert stated it is the
responsibility of the University
and the state to maintain a
“healthy balance” between
freedom of speech and
sensitivity.

He discussed the role of
educators, saying, “We both
administer policy and bring our
own beliefs and values into what
we do.” He said he and his peers
should continue to challenge
each other in the academic
community.

‘Vaccaro said colleges exist for
the purpose of discovering and
enhancing knowledge, and the
“essence of a university should
be free speech. The way we can
discover and augment the

knowledge a college was to offer
is through examining questions,
debating questions and
evaluating all the information we
have picked up,” she said.

The presidents agreed free
speech invites dispute but
dispute and debate should not
intimidate members of the
university community. They
were asked how each one
encourages a healthy procedure
of debate and dispute on
campuses.

Chapman said the way to
promote respect and civility
which permits further discussion
is to encourage students mo
develop their speaking and
literary skills.

“As individuals, in society, we
have ‘to others and it is essential
that we incorporate this respect
in our university,” Vaccaro said.

Young love banned at Beijing University

By Kathy Wilhelm

(AP) Young love is out at
Beijing University. School
officials have banned hugging
and kissing in public as an
“offense against decency,” and
campus police are energetically
enforcing the rules.

Students and teachers said
more than 100 people have been
taken in for failing to contain
their affectionate impulses since
the ban took effect Oct. 5.

They said police reprimand
record the names of first-time
offenders, but repeat offenders
may be fined an undetermined
amount or given school

demerits.

Traditional Chinese
abhorrence of public displays of
affection has relaxed
considerably in recent years,
nowhere more so than on
college campuses. Beijing
University’s Weiming Lake has
become a favorite spot for
amorous couples, apparently to
the dismay of school authorities.

The ban on public hugging
and kissing has been posted
prominently around the campus
as well as read on the school
loudspeaker system.

One poster proclaims: “In
order to improve the educational

environment hand build a good
school spirit beneficial to
students’ healthy development,
we must resolutely stop
uncivilized behavior on
campus.”

Other new rules require
students to wear “clean, neat,
simple and tasteful clothes,” ban
men from walking about bare-
chested or in undershirts and
forbid whistling and shouting
after 11pm.

There also is a new ban on
bottle-breaking. Students at
Chinese colleges have smashed
bottles as a form of political
protest because the word for

“Jittle bottle,” xiao ping, sounds
like the name of China’s leader,
Deng Xiaoping.

Beijing University, one of
China’s most prestigious
schools, was at the center of the
1989 pro-democracy movement.
Many of the movement's leaders
and participants were students
and instructors at the school.

Political education has been
intensified since the movement
was crushed, and Beijing
University freshmen now must
spend a year at a military
academy learning discipline
before beginning regular classes.

score, but Harlow denied them.
“She played a superior game,”
Depperman said.

The Lady Thoroughbreds did
break through after a defensive
lapse by Albany at the 24:50
mark of the first half. Jen Jacobs
fed the ball to a wide open,
uncovered Jen Gallagher who
was directly in front of the net.
She put a beautiful far post shot
past Harlow to give Skidmore a
1-0 lead after the first half.

Albany came out with more
offensive power at the start of
the second half and played a
very competitive style of soccer.

Skidmore had a chance to go
up by two goals five minutes
into the period when Chrissy
Wasik had a partial break-away
but fired high and wide of the
Albany net.

Half way through the period,
the Lady Thoroughbreds again
took complete control of the ball
and took advantage of an Albany
mistake to secure the victory.

With less than a minute
remaining in the game, Albany’s
Robin Kozlowski tried to feed a
loose ball back to Harlow.
Instead, the two players got
crossed up and the ball went past
Harlow and headed for the
unattended net. Skidmore’s
Joanna Morgan was there to
bang it in and send Albany to
defeat.

Albany was outshot by a huge
margin. Skidmore took 22 shots
compared to Albany’s harmless
three. Harlow made 20 saves for
the Lady Danes while Skidmore
goalkeeper Kate Bradley had to
make only three to complete the
shutout.

Without Harlow’s outstanding

| play in the Albany net this game

might have been a blowout.
“Albany’s goalkeeper played real
well,” said Skidmore coach Paul
Dion. “She didn’t allow us to
have our way in the box.”

“T though that they (Albany)
were a much improved team
from the one we played last
year,” Dion said. “They have a

The ax runneth wild for major league managers

By Adam Meyer
ASPECTS EDITOR
If you’re looking for a steady
job, managing a baseball team is
not the profession to go into. A
week ago Thursday, Jim
Lefebvre of the Seattle Mariners
earned the dubious honor of
being the fourth manager to be
COLUMN fired in as
many days. It
started last Monday, October 7,
with the firing of Yankee
skipper Stump Merrill, who was
followed onto the
unemployment line by Boston’s
Joe Morgan and Milwaukee’s
Tom Trebelhorn.

That makes a total of twelve
managers fired this season. The
Phillies’ Nick Leyva was the
first casuality back on April 23.
All was quiet for almost a
month, and then came the three-
day wipeout: from May 21 to

the 23rd, Don Zimmer of the
Cubs, John Wathan of the
Royals, and Frank Robinson of
the Orioles all were let go.
Montreal’s Buck Rodgers was
canned in June and Cleveland’s
John Macnamara followed suit
in July.

On August 26, California
Angels manager Doug Rader
was axed, only to be replaced by
the recently-deposed Expos
manager, Rodgers. The last
manager to be fired before this
most recent cluster was the
Met’s Bud Harrelson, in late
September.

Some of these replacements
were necessary for the good of
the organizations. Others seem
hasty and perhaps foolish
decisions.

Both of the New York teams *

desperately needed new leaders.

criticized by Yankee fans, and
on many counts rightly so
(particularly for his handling of
the overworked pitching staff),
Stump Merrill played a large
part in bringing the Yanks out of
the cellar. Having already
coached many of the Baby
Bombers in AAA Columbus, he
was already familiar with much
of the team. But with the Yanks
hoping to contend as early as
next season (and in the AL
Least, don’t rule it out), they
need a more experienced
manager.

As for the Mets, Buddy was as
incompetent a big league
manager as Stump was, and
from the start of the 1991
season, the team slipped further
and further out of his control.

The Cubs were picked almost
unanimously to finish atop the
NL East, but from opening day
on, they did not perform up to
expectations. As a result, Don
Zimmer (who has since become
Boston’s third base coach) was
replaced with Jim Essian. The
irony is that the team fared no
better under Essian’s rule,
finishing
Philadelphia for third, and his
future is now uncertain as well.

Joe Morgan has given the Red
Sox a couple of division
championships, in 1988 and

1990. This year the Sox finished
in a tie for second with Detroit

drive ran out of steam. Not too

Cross-country leaves field behind in five-way meet

By Mike Director
STAFF WRITER

On Saturday, a sunny 55 degree day, the
Albany men’s cross-country team hosted
a five-way meet with Southern
Conneticut, Siena, St. Rose and Hudson
Valley Community College.

The Danes dominated the meet, winning
with an impressive score of 17 points.
Following them were’ Southern
Conneticut (61), Siena (86), and HVCC
(101), and St. Rose (108).

The meet was a true team performance,
with 14 of the 16 Albany runners
achieving personal records.

When asked to name an athlete of the
meet, Albany coach Roberto Vives could

not answer the question.

“This was the best team performance in
anon-championship race during my years
here and every runner contributed,” Vives
said.

Albany sent out its runners as a pack
and they stayed together through three
miles.

At the one-mile mark, a pack of seven
Albany runners passed through in 5:15.
The pack consisted of junior Todd Orvis,
senior Joe McCullen, sophomore Todd
Rodgers, senior Chuck Tanner, freshmen
James Dolny and Howard Zebersky and
sophomore Keith Reilly, After two miles,
Orvis, McCullen, Rodgers and Tanner
were leading the race, passing through in

10:28.

These four were still together at three
miles (15:35). At this point, Orvis took
off, ran the last two miles in 10:04, and
won the race in 25:39.

Taking second for Albany was
McCullen who ran 26:11.

The remaining Albany scorers were:
Rodgers (3rd, 26:30), Tanner (4th, 26:40)
and Dolny (8th, 27:31)

The victory raised Albany’s record in
dual meets to 8-2

Last year, the top seven Danes averaged
27:53 at this meet, while this year, the top
seven averaged 26:50. This was
accomplished with out senior Jeff

Sullivan, a consistent varsity runner, who
was resting after he injured his heel last
week,

After the meet, Albany assistant coach
Kevin Williams had high praise for the
runners.

“T expected us to do well, but not this
well,” Williams said. “This was a real
confidence booster for the guys and they
really ran well.”

Albany will host the Albany Invitational
tomorrow. With over 35 colleges in
attendance, Albany will face its first stiff
competition from Division I powers
Dartmouth, Columbia and Colgate and
Division III rivals Ithaca and R.I.T.

A.C.I.A. happenings

By Ari Kampel
STAFF WRITER

Another exciting season of A.C.I.A. is well underway. A
successfull softball season is just about over. Each team will have
played between five and seven games. The playoffs, weather
permitting, should start this weekend. All teams with winning
records will qualify for post season play.

In basketball, three on three games started on Monday. According
to Commissioner Nerissa Mescallado, there are 23 teams, and league
one is “very competitive.” Five-on-five games will start once
softball is over, because Rob Dumas, who is in charge of the latter,
will also be running basketball.

A few flag football games were played this weekend, Many teams
had to cancel because of parent’s weekend. Other teams found it
difficult to get their teams ready in time: Red Bull 40 Dogs and the
Silver Bullets won by forfeit. The House of Pain defeated OX
Crimson Tide, and ZAM scored a 30-6 victory over TE®.

This weekend, there will’be a full supplement of games. Schedules
will be worked around both softball and soccer. The games are
normally played on the practice football field, but because of the
rugby match, they will be moved to the field next to Indian Quad on
Saturday. On Sunday, the games will be played at the normal site.

The soccer season began two weeks ago, featuring three leagues
(men, women, and co-ed) and 16 teams. For the first game of the
season, Piels United, last year’s champion, defeated a first-year
team, XE II, 2-1. Goals were scored by Mike Peckham and Steve
Shubert for Piels.

In other action, Andy Printz scored a goal with one second
remaining for the Sig Rebels, but it wasn’t enough to overcome
TKE, and the Rebels were defeated 2-1. Other teams who scored
victories were ZBT Puck (4-0) and BJFC (3-0). Due to the weather,
games were cancelled the opening Sunday.

Last Friday, Piels United evened its record at 1-1 with a loss to
SAM. On Saturday, winners included @X (4-1), A Touch of Grass

Overtime victory for men's soccer is “big’

By Andrew Schotz
SPORTS EDITOR

The new era of Albany men’s
soccer continues to thrive, but
the wins haven’t come easy. The
Great Danes (6-3-1) needed 80
minutes to score against RPI (6-
4-1) on Wednesday, and a full
120 minutes to emerge with the
win. With the 2-1 overtime
victory, Albany has won five
straight games and is unbeaten
in it’s last seven.

“It’s our biggest victory of the
year,” said weary Albany coach
Roy Pfeil. “Nothing has been
sweeter.”

The Engineers, showing how
they enjoyed success against
Union, RIT, and Alfred, used a
strong defense to keep Albany’s
attack just out of reach for much
of the contest. However, the
Dane’s defense was even
stingier. In fact, Albany

Danes win fifth straight;

Paul Feeny’s (#10 in white) goal with less than 10 minutes in regulation gave Albany a short-lived lead.

post.

The game-winner came aft
an excellent effort by Albany
Andy Nadboy, who was fightin;
for possession with an RPI back
in the Engineer half. Nadboy
won the battle and put a left-
footed cross through the penalty
box. The pass found Hearney,
who knocked a shot off-the
underside of the crossbar and in,

The excitement wasn’t over,
though. Steve _Wintonick’s
second yellow card forced
Albany to play a man down over
the final 51 seconds, but RPI’s
all-out pressure wasn’t enough.

“This is what it’s all about - to
fight, crawl, scratch, and come
away with victory,” Pfeil said.

The past two seasons, Albany
handled the the Engineers’ with
ease - 3-0 last year, 4-0 in 1989.

managed only seven shots, but
allowed RPI a paltry two.

With less than 10 minutes left
in regulation, Albany moved the
ball end to end very quickly.
Gary Safran made a defensive
stop and hit Marty Hearney with
a touch pass just short of

midfield. Hearney sent a long
ball for Paul Feeny, who raced
down the right side of the field.
When the RPI defender marking
him fell down, Feeny calmly
slapped a shot past onrushing
Engineer goalie Andy Bast.

It took Albany 80:14 to gain

the lead, but only 49 seconds to
relinquish it.

Given a direct kick, RPI
elected to have freshman Kevin
Young to take it. With the
Engineer offense and the Dane
defense bunched up to the far
post, waiting for a head ball,

Young took everyone by surprise
when he pushed a hard shot to
the near post. Albany goalie
Mike Baker could only get his
fingertips on it.

In overtime, Feeny nearly
scored his second at the 7:47
mark, but his shot banged off the

Plattsburgh, Binghamton, and
Cortland on the road, Pfeil

he did a month ago. “We can do
well against anybody,” he said.

champion, tomorrow at 1:00.

Rugby wins Mohawk title with 9-3 win over Siena

By Ari Kampel
STAFF WRITER

The Albany State rugby club won its
fifth straight game of the year Saturday
with a hard fought 9-3 victory over its
arch rival, the Siena Saints, in
Loudonville. The loss dropped Siena out
of playoff competition, as the Saints
finished their season at 3-2, The Great
Danes have yet to lose this season.

All of Albany’s points were scored by
Dan “Big Foot” James, who booted three
penalty kicks.

It was a bitter, physical game, as the
Danes only led by three points (6-3) at
half-time. The key to the game was the
play of Albany’s forwards, who
dominated their opponents. The fine plays
of Adam “Dough Boy” Baker, Mark
“DA” Hayden, Mike “Pinky” Schickram,
Jeff “Choke” Roberts, and Bill “Wilber”
Carraher led to the victory.

The Danes excellent stamina
completely wore their opponents down. In
a dual of scrum halfs, “Flash” Pettilina
emerged the victor. Fine defensive play
was turned in by Bobby “Hurricane”
Higgins, Rob Dapaah, and Pete “Wrong
Way” Duggan.

The victory gave Albany its first ever
Mohawk Division Championship. The
Danes will now enter the Upstate
Conference Championship, which is
comprised of eight teams, including tough
opponents from Cortland, Oswego, and
Buffalo. The quarterfinals begin this
weekend.

The Danes will play Hamilton, who
they shut out just a week ago, 23-0. The
game will be played on Saturday at the
practice football field at 1:00.

Next weekend, the semifinals and the
finals will be held in Schenectady.

The B side will not get a chance to
defend last year’s championship. They
fell to Siena’s B team by a score of 20-4,
The loss dropped their record to 3-2 and
knocked them out of playoff competition.
Albany’s lone try was scored by Brad
“Bates” Serlin.

Although the Danes came close to the
try line on several, they could not produce
a score. Larry “Sweater” Cooper fell a
few inches short of the try line at the end
of the first half.

For the second time this season, the C
side defeated Siena, 11-8. The win was
difficult because Albany was playing with
one man short due to the ejection of Pete

“Who” Maherr. The Backs were anchored
by Serlin, who played in this game as
well.

Albany’s tries were scored by Ralph
“Tatash” DeLuca and Dave “Band man”
Zellinger. The forwards, as in the A game,
dominated play, and were led by veterans
Brian “Grizzly” Shell and J.P. “Bag of
doughnuts.”

Pittsburgh

(AP) The Atlanta Braves shucked their loser’s image,
shutting out Pittsburgh in Game 7 of the NL playoffs and
setting up the most unlikely World Series ever.

The Braves made winning look easy Thursday night as John
Smoltz pitched Atlanta past the Pirates 4-0 for its first pennant.

Now, a season full of surprises ends with the biggest one yet.
‘The Braves, baseball’s poorest team last year, and the
(Minnesota Twins, the only other team this century to go from
worst-to-first, meet in the World Series Starting Saturday night
‘in the Metrodome.

Brian Hunter’s two-run homer capped a three-run first inning,
land that was all Smoltz and the Braves needed. the Pirates’ big
hitters again went poof, and Pittsburgh was shut out for the
second straight game.

A day after NL playoffs MVP Steve Avery and Alejandro
Pena shut down Pittsburgh 1-0, Smoltz won his second game of
the series with a six-hitter. In reversing their history, the Braves
also stopped the Pirates’ series of Game 7 successes, Pittsburgh
had played five previous deciding seventh games, and won
them all.

This time, it was over early. After the Braves knocked out 20-
game winner John Smiley in the first inning, the Pirates had
their best chance when Orlando Merced and Jay Bell led off the
first with singles.

But the big three of Andy Van Slyke, Bobby Bonilla and
Barry Bonds each made outs, failing for the umpteenth time.
‘They were a combined 0-for-33 with runners on base until
Bonilla singled in the eighth.

Smoltz's six-hitter sends Braves to World Series

In the ninth, with 500 Braves fans chanting and chopping in
the far reaches of the upper deck, Smoltz finished it quickly
with a 1-2-3 inning. That set an exuberant celebration on the}
field, and triggered an even wilder scene in the clubhouse.

For the Pirates, the loss marked another season off
disappointment, far worse than last year’s six-game playoff]
defeat by Cincinnati. -

Pittsburgh was baseball’s best team during the regular season|
at 98-64, and came into the playoffs calm and confident. The}
Pirates won the opener, took of two three in Atlanta and
returned to Three Rivers Stadium this week with a 3-2 lead.

But that’s where it stopped for the Pirates and started up for
the Braves. Smoltz capped a streak of 27 straight scoreless
innings for Pittsburgh at home.

The Braves won the fifth pennant in franchise history, and|
first since 1958 in Milwaukee. Atlanta had been swept in its
only other playoff appearances in 1969 and 1982 before this
year.

The Pirates went meekly, and so did their fans. A crowd of
just 46,932, more than 10,000 fewer than watched Game 1, saw
the season end.

Hunter, a rookie, drove in three runs, He hit a two-run homer
after Ron Gant’s sacrifice fly in the first inning, and added an)
RBI double in the fifth. Se

Smoltz, in danger of losing his spot in the rotation in|
midseason when he was 2-11, won for the 14th time in 16
decisions since the All-Star break. He pitched his first shutout
of the season - and Atlanta's third of the series - striking oul}
eight and walking one.
