Couch Bob Ford inra speech to his football

final-minute defeats to getting your heart

“The first time a gitl breaks up with you,
it’s very painful s0 you go into your next rela-

"The second time it happens it still hurts and

The Buffalo offense, led by the nation's
third ranked passer in Division 111, All
‘American Marty Barret, hay been labeled by
many as the college version of the NFL's San
Dleyo Chargers, whose explosive passing at
tack has given credence to the nickname "Air

last week, in which he broke three school
records, won him ECAC Division III offen-
sive player of the week honors. He passed for
school record 290 yards, and his 125 at-
tempts and #01 total passing yardage also
broke the Albany season mark set by Tom
Pratt in 1982,

“1 think Milano is probably the finest

sophomore, “He keeps improving each

Against the Bulls, the offensive line will be

“This game will really show how much our

Students deal with media issues at conference

By Jerry Campione
and Steve Fox

Student journalists from all over the state
converged on Albany last weekend to par-
ticipate in the 1983 Statewide Student Media
Conference. Speakers and workshops dealt
with the problems of both student and pro-
fessional journalism.

The fourth conference opened Friday with
SUNY-Central Day with journalists and
students meeting and questioning SUNY-
Central Administrators at SUNY's main of-
fice. Those present included SUNY
Chancellor Clifton Wharton, Provost
Jerome B. sar, Executive Vice-

ald O'Dowd, Vice-
Chancellor for Finance and Business Harry
Spindler and, by special telephone hook-up,
Chair of the SUNY Board of Trustees
Donald M. Blinken

Wharton opened the conference by speak:
Ing about the role of SUNY in New York
State and also by discussing the SUNY
budget, Wharton described the budget in
detail and said he felt it was important for
siudents to understand the budgetary pro-
cess, Wharton also discussed corporate in

nent in research on campus, and said

though he did not direct the faculty on
what to research, their research must be
usable

According to Mary Prendergast, Com
munications Director for SASU, the only
Kind of research usable in today's society is
corporate research. This, she said, is the kind
most beneficial to the public, Wharton also
mentioned that the presently sits on two cor
porate boards, Ford Motor Company and
Time, Inc, Prendergast, however, pointed
out that in his blography in the SUNY-
Central Media package, itis listed that he sits
on five boards.

Komisar was the next speaker and he
began with a philosophical speech on educa-
tion, He later entertained questions from the
reporters and according to Prendergast, was
very impressed with the sophistication of the
students and the SUNY press. “He mention-

ed {0 me afierwards that he thought it would
be short and sweet," she said, adding, ‘1
told him not with that bunch,”

During O'Dowd’s discussion on the
perceptions of SUNY Central by students,
the students present became quite agitated by
much of what O'Dowd said, O'Dowd men-
tioned that SUNY-Central is actually suppos-

ed to keep its role to a minimum and that
they were basically there to represent SUNY
in the legislature, which drew quite a heated
Tesponse from the crowd. At one point,
O'Dowd remarked that he didn't think that
the student press really cared about SUNY-
Central, If we didn't care, we wouldn't be
there (at the conference),’ replied
Pendergast, who added that ‘an apathetic
press is a very convenient relationship for
SUNY-Central, They want us not to care,

Spindler gave a very detailed exploration
of the budget and then took questions from.
the press, The question of whether or not
there would be a bus fee at SUNYA caused
quite a bit of controversy.

Alter belng asked about the buss fee by Lib-
by Post, Media Director of SA, Spindler
replied, “There is no bus fee at Albany
State." He later admitted that there was a
bus fee under consideration and, when asked
if he considered a fee that affects 15,000
students broad-based, replied that the fee
would only affect $,000 students, He also a
ded that he did not consider this braod-
based. Both Post and Prendergast were
puzaled by where he got his figure of 5,000
students, or why such a fee wouldn't be con-
sidered broad-based. Spindler did not
elaborate,

impeached two weeks ago by Schwartz after members of
Speaker's Forum found posters with Greenbaum's name on
them, advertising David Brenner tickets for $20.

According to Schwartz, Greenbaum. surrendered the
tickets and denied attempting to scalp them. He refused to
comment on whether or not he did put up signs with his
name and phone number on them,

Greenbaum explained that on the Tuesday before the
Dayid Brenner performance, three tickets were given out to
all present at the Speaker's Forum meeting by Schwartz.
According to Greenbaum, Schwartz sald, ‘If you don’t use
them then you can give them back to u He also said

According to Schwartz, Greenbaum will be referred on

Once the referral form has been submitted, Judicial

SA minority office gains widespread approval

By Ilene Weinstein ©

‘After several months in operation, Student
Association's Minority Affairs Office and
Coordinator have received favorable reviews
from SA's executives and mostly positive
reviews from a number of minority group
leaders

Some minority group leaders, said
however, that they had not yet fully utilized
the services of the Minority Affairs Office,
but planned to in the future,

Hoping to increase minority studen
volvement, last May SA officials created the
position of Minority Affairs Coordinator
with a stipend of $1,375, and appointed Vi-
vian Vasquez to the position,

According to SA Vice-President Jeff
Sclineider Vasquez’s job includes working
‘with minority issues, students, and groups.

The Minority Affairs Office handles all
groups, including ASUBA, Feminist

Alliance, Fuerza Latina, Gay and Lesbian
Alliance, Club, JSC-Hillel, Interna
tional Student Association, University A\
tion for the Disabled, and Returning Women
Students, explained Vasquez, Part of hi
also includes the “'chairpersonship of the
Minortly Task Force Board” which was
created along with the Minority Affairs Divi
sion to hear minority related complaints and

Vasquez sald she and the leaders of several
minority organizations are working on an
open house for Nov, 19, to welcome minority
high school and transfer students in the
capital district and increase minority enroll
ment at SUNYA

There are many minorities in the area, and
the minority groups provide role models,
noted Vasquez, "Personal contact js very im

The idea of establishing a minority affairs
office was formed during “a Minority

Hentoff speaks on media rights at conference

LISA SIMMONS UPS

Columnist

“The first amendment is paramount”

By Jer cempian®

Nat Hentoff, noted Village Voice
columnist and first amendment ad-
vyocate, firmly reaffirmed his belief
that ‘the first amendment is para-
mount’? when he spoke to a group
of student journalists at SUNYA
Friday at the Fourth Statewide Stu-
dent Media Conference,

Hentoff, who titled his lecture
“A free and responsible press —
who's responsible?” spoke of both
the professional and student press
and cited examples of responsibility
and irresponsibility in both sectors,
He also discussed the role of stu-
dent government and ad-
ministrators in regulating the stu-

disgusting."’ In speaking about who
the press is responsible to, Hentoff
said ‘tin the first case, to the public,
in the second to the defendant. 1
don't believe the public's right to
know means the right to know right
away,"

Hentoff then turned his discus-
sion to the student press, and
specifically to the recent goings-on
in the SUNY system. He first ad-
dressed the controversy on the
SUNY/Purchase campus in which
the editor, Tim McDarragh, was
fired for changing the name of the
paper from The Load to Newspeak.
"1 don't think that's the school or
Student Senate's business, 1 don’t
think an editor can be forced to cut
into his first amendment rights,"” he
sald, adding ‘I believe itis his right

of the ASP in which he sald the
‘committee “Will not negatively im-
‘act on freedom of speech,'? "Docs
‘ae think it might have a positive im-
act?,”” Hentoff asked, adding that
freedom of speech was there
before any review board,!”
Hentoff was further angered by.
the fact that Pogue planned to
review the financially independent
ASP, ‘‘By what right does any ad-
ministrator say he can review an in-
dependent paper — does he review
regular papers?” He said that this
whole idea ralsed the question of
who the paper was responsible to,
the university or its readers, “This
review board gives the impression
that the university wants to be
pleased by the paper,'" he said,
‘According to Hentoff, a media

dent press,

In speaking of the professional
press, Hentoff cited two different
examples of what he said is ir-
responsible journalism, In the first,
he told of an incident which occur-
ted in the early 1970s ii in which the
Press cooperated the CIA and
didn’t run a story about an opera-
tion the agency was performing in
the Pacific which involved raising
the wreckage of a downed Russian
submarine, What Hentoff couldn't
understand was why those who
knew didn’t leak it to someone to
run it,

Hentoff discussed the recent deci-
sion by CBS and ''60 Minutes"’ to
show tapes of John DeLorean being
arrested by FBI agents as another
case of media irresponsibility, This,
Hentoff claimed, —‘*was

within

the first
change the na
phasized that
editor’ and described the whole
story at Purchase as "tone very stub-
born young man, McDarragh, and
‘a jackass member of Student Senate
Who pushed an issue too far,"

‘The recent controversy on the
SUNYA campus was next on Hen-
toff’s agenda and he ripped into the
administration with full force, The
administration is planning to form a
media review board and the first
question Hentoff had was ‘'why???.
“What do they want to control?,"”
he asked, adding sarcastically, “'Do
they want (o give awards?”

Hentoff pointed to a quote by
Vice President for Student Affairs
Frank Pogue in the October 28 issue -

review board would cause (rouble,
“Whenever you have a media
review board, you will have pro-
blems because they create pro-
blems,’” he said, "You cannot have
Surrogates or supervisors telling you
‘what to do as journalists,” he said.
"'No yahoo is going to set up a
medin review board to see if you
said it right," Hentoff also advised
those in attendance to refuse to par-
ticipate in any type of board, ‘If

this board any student

you will be the victims,"*
he warned,

Hentoff offered advice to the
editors of the student papers that
‘were in attendance on how to make

New SUNYA escort
service formed;
response is strong

Members of Don't Walk Alone, the new escort service
at SUNYA, accompanied 35 women to their destinations
last Sunday, the first night of its operation.

s one of the coordinators, claimed the
service is “fa very worthwhile cause, It’s important to pro-
{ect students at this university.’

Two stations, one at the library and the other at Dutch
Tower, make it possible for students to be escorted from
Dutch Tower to the library or from the library to
anywhere on campus, Siudents are escorted by two
women or a man and a woman.

According to Dan Altman, another coordinator and
Central Council member, escorters were recruited from
dinner jines, After applying and being accepted, the
recruits were briefed at seminars, Rubinstein said that
next year escorters could get community service credits,

Libby Post, SA Media Director, brought up the idea
for a new escort service last year at a meeting of the Presi-
dent’s Task Force for Women's Safety, Post, an active
member of the Task Force, said that Student Patrol, the
old escort service run by Public Safety, was not being used
and had to be replaced.

Post said that the Task Force set up a ten member com-
mittee to study Student Patrol, Lisa Donahue, chairper-
son of the committee, Tom Gebhardt from Residential
Life, Beth Suter from Feminist Alliance, Dan Altman and
Scott Rubinstein from SA, and other members drew up
the plans for Don't Walk Alone which, according to Post,
is a pilot project that will be judged by how well the
university responds to it. Post sald she feels that the
“overwhelming response'” of 35 women on the first night
is a positive sign. She hopes that Don’t Walk Alone will

posium on the labor union held Monday night in LC 18, He
is a small frail man, whose appearance characterized the
people he described. Karpinsky had been imprisoned there
himself because of his activities as an organizer for student
‘ights in the 1960s.

‘The outlawing of this union had psychological effects as
well. Karpinsky pointed out that the Polish expression for
“martial law’? is the same as that for ‘state of war," When.
the military junta of General Wojiech Jaruzelski enforced a
state of martial law, they were actually engaging in a war
‘against their own people, Karpinsky said

“When the state of war was declared, the people felt that

hey had been invaded by an enemy force,"” he said

The effect of this, he described as ‘alienation

“The government was alienated from its people,"” he ex-
plained, and, asa result, Jaruzelski was commonly seen asa
traitor by his people, according to Karpinsky.

The imposition of martial law “underscored the brutality
Of the socio-political system, and pointed out who the
enemy was," Karpinsky said, ‘The legal or quasi-tegal ac-
tions taken reminded the Polish people of the German oc-
cupation during World War Two. The only difference be-
ing that the forces wore Polish uniforms,’

It was this psychological impact of martial law, accor-
ding to Karpinsky, that has led ‘‘to the present situation of
extensive underground support of the union Solidarity
amongst the common workers and to a wide range of
Underground activities such as the printing of journals and
literary works consisting of several hundred pages.

This is in direct opposition to Solidarity’s ‘open

riod," during which Karpinsky described the union as

‘A greatly programmatic organization, working on social
and industrial legislation,"’ He also said that ‘Solidarity
succeeded in achieving a lessening of censor
in education, and the right to set up organizations indepen-
dent of the government, Unfortunately, with the advent of
the state of war, all of these forward strides were
eradicated,

“During the state of war," Karpinsky sald, ‘'the govern:
ment made presently existing sections of the law regarding
censorship and the powers of the police in dealing with anti-
state organizations broader and more vague, Also, they ad-
ded sections to the penal codes, giving them the power to
dissolve associations and the governing portions of associa-
tions, and replace them with people of their own
choosing."* But it was the brutality of government forces:
against strikers that Karpinsky described with emotion.

“Thousands of people were horribly beaten, some were
shot, and many were Imprisoned, Many of those imprison:
ed have faced horrible conditions and frequent beatings,"”

Karpinsky was imprisoned from 1968-1971. Of his own
experience, he sald, ‘my situation was better than most,

SA proposes new fee for graduate students

By, Erle Hindin
STAFF WRITER

The SUNYA Student Association
has recently proposed the establish-
ment of a new student fee to be paid
by all graduate students attending
SUNYA.

Student Association, according
to SA Vice-president Jeff Schneider
offers many services useful to
graduate students, but collects fees
only from undergraduate students,
As of now, says Schneider, many
graduate students make use of SA's
services at SA's expense, Without
the fee, he said, SA will have 10
crackdown on the use of these ser-
vices. As an example, Schneider
pointed to the SA lawyer, Mark
Mishler. The legal services provid-
ed by Mishler are available to all
undergraduate students at no cost,
Graduate students, Schneider said,
have as much need for the services
of Mishler as undergrads, and thus
should pay a fee.

The proposal, sald SA Media
Director Libby Post, needs the ap-
proval of both the administration
and the student body, According to
Post, the proposal has been submit-
ted to the administration for ap-
proval, and if the administration
give its OK, it would be presented to
the students as a referendum,
Assuming both the administration
and the student body offer their
support, then SA would hope to
hold elections in early December,
Post said.

Approval of the proposal would,
according to Post, result in’ the
establishment of a separate body
within the SA, called the Graduate
Student Association (GSA), While

athe GSA would be part of SA, it

would have its own budget and
function as an autonomous group.

Though SUNY at Buffalo has its
‘own Graudate Student Association,
completely separate from the
undergraduate Student Associa-
tion, Post said she does not sce this
situation occuring at SUNYA at
anytime, The idea, said Post, is that
SA should represent all students,
and provide more and better ser-
vices for all students but as one
united group.

SA's proposal involves two
Issues, according to SA controller
Adam Barsky. First, said Barsky,
"Are the needs of graduate students
attending SUNYA being met, and
could SA do more to meet those
needs?!’ Secondly, he said,,"'Many
Brauduate students already make
use of SA services without paying
anything for them,

Barsky pointed to campus film
groups, the school radio station, in-
tramural athletics, Camp Dippikill,
and international clubs as being
some of the services SA provides
that graduate students make use of,

Barsky agreed with Schneider
With regard to the graduate
students’ need for legal services.
"Many graduate students live off
campus, and when signing leases

said, In addition, he said, SA will

‘The French Department will of-

at the elementary level this spring
under the direction of Dr, Joan N;
Savitt, Direcior of the Language
Center Project. In this program,
students will be able to earn from 2
to 12 credits in French in a single
Semester. The actual number of
credits they earn is determined by
the number of units they complete
during the semester. To earn
Credits, a student must pass exams
Which will test reading, writing,
listening, and speaking, Retests are
permitted,

These individualized sections of
French 101Y, 102Y, and 103Y will
not meet in a traditional classroom,
Rather, students will work out their
own schedule of individual
meetings with the instructor. They
will also participate in conversation
‘groups with other students in the
course,

Students will work in the
| Language Lab on a regular basis,
the Language Center (location to
be announced) will be open approx-
imately 20 hours per week, in-
cluding at least one evening.
Students who begin in the tradi-
tional classroom may transfer into
the individualized program up to

probably be three dollars per credit,
15 credits would be considered a
full time load, he added,

Barsky said he believes that the
administration will be enthusiastic
about the proposal because they
will see how SA could better serve
the needs of graduate students. He
added, however, that the ad-
ministration will probably reserve
its opinion in order to see what kind

Hentoff addresses conference

Ought to network more, He advised
Papers to cover stories on other
‘campuses and to run them “to alert
potential yahoos on your campus
that they won't get away with it” if
they try the same thing, he said, “If
you network, get some quotes, and
it in, then you will have a mirror
in which people all across the state
will have to look,"" Hentoff advis-
ed. He also suggested that. the
stories be played big to attract at-
tention.

Another piece of advice that
Hentoff had for student papers was
to “get the hell off campus," Hen-
toff sald that the paper should
“support yourself and the hell with
them,'* meaning the student assicia-
tions and administrations,

He did say that even though a
paper is funded by a Student
Association, the SA doesn't have

the right to censor or make deci-
sions for the paper. “In a public
college, it's the public that gives the
funding,"" he said.

“If you're on a public campus,
you don't have a right to have a
Hewspaper, but once there is a
paper, the very reason that it’s there
makes it a first amendment forum

to present views,"” he explained, ad:
ding that the state has exceedingly

limited power to say what you can
or can't do,"

Hentoff said that he felt there
should not be any difference bet-
ween journalists and student jour-
nalists, He advised that a student
reporter should not be afraid to
take risks, “When you're on a
story, you're on a story. Get it and
don't be worried about pleasing so-
meone like Vice President Pogue,”
he advised,

After opening the forum for
questions, Hentoff was attacked for
being sexist. Eveline MacDougal, a
staff reporter for Cardinal Points,
the newspaper of SUNY/Platt-
sburgh, accused Hentoff of “sexist
use of language’ throughout his
speech, Hentoff countered by say-
ing that he doesn't use all-inclusive
Janguage because it is "awkward."

Libby Post, media-director for
SA and Editor-in-Chief of the Stu-
dent Voice expressed her opinion on.

the matter by saying that “using
non-sexist language is not
awkward. I use it all the time from
writing in the Voice to academic
work and f've never been criticized
for awkward writing."” Post added
that “His (Hentoff's) perspective
comes out of resistance to changing

his way of thinking,"

Hentoff addressed the charges by
saying "I know what I want to say
and I say it and that’s it,"” He added
that he's “not going to manicure
my story so that people will ap-
prove,” explaining that, ‘my
responsibility as « journalist is to
vyrite as well as I can and not {0
follow every trend to show how it
should sound.”

On other fssues, Hentoff said
libel is the worst punishment for a
newspaper that has done something
wrong, “Libel can put a magazine
of newspaper out of business or
severely cripple it!” he explained,
adding that it costs an enormous
amount of money to defend, That's
why, Hentoff said, he urges
reporters to turn in stories that are
accurate and complete, "If a story
is accurate but not complete, then
i's not true," he said, adding that
“i's irresponsible if you don’t have
complete stories,

Hentoff sald that the worst part

of free press is that there is no way
to force a newspaper to reply to an
opposing letter to the editor,

“Freedom is not always free for
everyone,’ he concluded. oO

EDITORIAL:

he black voice on this campus is powerful

Although the struggle for equality seems to be a

perennial battle for black Americans, the SUNYA
black community has continued to exhibit a mature and
teadfast attack on racial discrimination.

“We must never forget how far we've come, nor how far
We've yet to go,”” wrote Laurie B, Midgette, Editor-in-
Chief of Unity News, a publication of the Albany State
‘University Black Alliance,

The black students here have indeed come far, The
NAACP College Chapter was recently founded and among
other things, it has kept the public aware of adverse effects
Of racial discrimination, Of course, ASUBA has continued
to serve as the social and political hub for black students,

The Office of Minority Student Services created by the

Solidarity through participation

university, and the Minority Affairs Coordinator and Task
Force created by Student Association, are two more recent
moves which have shown the proper respect and representa-
tion of our diverse community,

‘And just this Monday there was Black Solidarity Day. It
was a day in which blacks united to remind themselves of
thelr continuing struggle for basic human equality, Further-
more, blacks divorced themselves from the rest of the com-
munity in order to demonstrate their essential role in the
functioning of society.

What's the next step? Their is certainly no single answer
as to where the black community should concentrate its ef-
forts next} attempting a grandiose answer would be futile.
Yet there is an area that does deserve some attention,

‘Throughout this past semester and during last summer

the Albany Student Press has made noteable progress in
working toward the goal of multiculturism. The ASP has
finally experienced a concrete increase in the number of
minorities on staff, and has continued its solid coverage of
minority events and issues on campus.

In addition, minority group leaders received a letter
which invited all minority students to become involved and
educated in the working of our school newspaper. The let-
ter stressed that itis extremely important to understand that

creating a more diverse university community we all must
contribute.

Our door is open, The ASP is the perfect medium for
those who are trying to bring about awareness and educa:
tion for the people of this university. More participation is
needed for even better representation.

COLUMN:

A dangerous precedent

‘Tiget' Joe Smith of the Waverly ‘Daily News! was ex-
cited about covering the first big invasion since Vietnam.
‘As soon as word of the invasion broke, he and some other
reporters rented a boat and headed to Grenada so that they
could be among the first with the big stories.

‘This boat is great, guys, We got a good view of
Grenada, and the Cubans will never stop us. We'll be there
in no more than an hour,"

Bill Brewster

Just then a Navy F-14 buzzed close-by, It seemed
strange, but Smith was used to the realities of war,

“Hey, great action, ch? Haven't seen anything like it
since the Beirut air strikes last summer, Nothing like com-
bat to get the old blood pumping,”

Jim Jackson, a TV cameraman, agreed, "Yep. Almost as:
exciting as tHiat ambush down in El Salvador a few months
back,”

"Yeah, hal

The two combat reporters chuckled, Just then a Navy
patrol cruised up to their boat, A few U.S, marines and
sailors were on board, They were not overly-friendly look-
in,

'No press allowed,"” sald a young sailor, “The island's
closed.”

Smith was shocked, “What? Are you kidding? Get lost,
kidl'”

“'No press allowed!" The young sailor took out an M-16,
In the distance, gun shots were heard as fighting near Point
Salinas Airport was apparently flerce,

“Come on, kid,'" sald Jackson, “Who are you trying to
fool? Iwas in Nam. I've seen more real combat than you've

seen episodes of M.A.S,H! You can't keep the press away
from war when the U.S. Is involved. People have to know
what's going on in a democracy!"

"'Go back! We don't want any press to get hurt,”

“Since when? What, are you a Cuban???”

The sailor flicked the safety switch on his rifle to shoot,
Another F-14 buzzed overhead, In front of the two small
boars appeared a Navy clestrover with its auns pointed right
at Smith, Through the P.A. speaker a sailor on board sent
the ominous warning: ''Go back to Barbados! You can go
no further! You cannot go to Grenada! Go back!””

“Oh, 1 see,'? sald Smith to the armed sailor, ‘look, we're
Americans, See? We're not Russians. What's the deal?!”

"Yeah," said Jackson, ‘where do you guys get this
from? The Brits and their Falklands thing? What happened
to free press?!”

“National security, sir,”? sald the sailor, still pointing his
rifle, ‘We're proving to all the Communists that we mean
business,"

“Yeah, well how are the American people supposed to
find out what's happening? There hasn't been any objec-

coverage of this war since it started!"”

"We will tell them what they need to know,'’ sald the
sailor proudly, "It's much easier to be a world power when
no one is distorting our heroics and criticizing our every
moye."?

A “ther sailor, the C.O,, tall and distinguished, poked
his head out from the patrol boat cabin door and walked up
ext to the young sailor who, it seemed, was talking too
much,

“Look guys,"” he sald, ‘'don't you realize Grenada was
being groomed as a Cuban and Soviet bastion for the ex-
port of terrorism to undermine freedom and democracy?

‘This is no island paradise for tourism anymore! Don't you
listen to our Commander in Chief?!

"So how do we ever get on the island? Won't the press
ever be allowed to see any action?" Smith felt helpless

“Oh sure,"” answered the C.0, proudly. ‘Once we're
through mopping up."’ Gunshots and exploding ordnance
were heard in the distance,

“Then can we go and ask questions of the civilians and
Cuban prisoners?”

“Oh, heavens Nal We have guides who will show you all
the chlef attractions and military hot spots. Please, don't
worry, Our fine military machine has the whole situation
under control, Now just go on back to Barbados and we'll
call you and lead you around when it’s safe,"”

“Why the continued fighting anyhow?,"" asked Smith.
¥6,000 troops for a rescue mission? Half the med students
at St. George's were evacuated already and the rest want to
stay don't they? What's going on?!”

The officer thought for a second and looked up to th
patrol boat's American flag blowing steadily in the breeze.
He sighed deeply.

“Look, We have to make the island safe for democrac
and freedom, It's in everybody's best interests, Can't you
in the press understand? We'll let you know when you car
come back, and in the meantime, we'll be sure to let you
know if anything important happens,"*

The reporters grudgingly turned their boat around and
headed back to Barbados,

“Please don't worry!,"” shouted the C.O. ‘We're doing
an incredibly heroic Job saving this island, and we'll show
you, once it's safe enough. We know what we're doing
Why do you doubt us???

approached the album warily, On

the one hand, | was already inclin:

ed in favor of it due to the fact that
Simon ‘Townshend Is Pete Townshend's
brother. Pete, of course, is the brains behind
the rock supergroup, The Who. And not on-
ly is Pete Simon's brother, but he also pro
duced ‘the album. On the other hand,
though, 1 was prejudiced against the album
by its cover I tend to ignore the age-old
cliche, “don't judge a book by its cover,"
and, in this instance, the cover is awlul. It
shows Simon Townshend in a pseudo
macho pose looking like he just c

Keith Van Allen

So which of these preconceptions turned J

out to be more accurate after listening to
Simon Townshend's debut album, Sweet
Sound? Well, actually neither. It's not as bad
as the cover, but i's also a disappointment
coming from someone so closely associated
with Pete Townshend

The first song, "Sweet Sound,” is very in-
dicative of the rest of the album's music and
Iyrics, The music Is hard-driving, up-beat
but Inevitably unmemorable. As for
Iyrics, the meaning of such couplets as "We
can play together, when the Ke |s dry" are
beyond me. Frequently such lyrics can be
understood in the context of the rest of the
song. Unfortunately for this track, and the
remainder of the album, this Is not the case.

The next song on side one {s the single
which has been getting the most radio
airplay. “I'm the Answer” works well for this
purpose because it's catchy and has a simple
yet memorable chorus. Although Simon's
record company Insists that “the minute you
slap Simon's LP on the turntable all sibling
associations go out the window", | beg to dif
fer, “I'm the Answer” sounds a lot like the
elder Townshend's "Let My Love Open the
Door." Simon is the “answer” to someone's
loneliness, just as Pete implored the lonely
abject of his song to "release yourself from
misery." The similarity is also noticeable In

The guitar mix was so lull of distortion,
compression and other heavy metal effects
that 1 could hardly make out what the
guitarist was playing, It seemed like he was
playing quickly during one extended solo,
but it sounded like he was merely going
through scale repititions, not playing
anything resembling an innovative rock 'n
roll solo,

full, intense sound. The song has the nice
touch of a string arrangement during the In-
strumental break, which heightens the ten:
sion of the music.

The second side of Sweet Sound
demonsirates that Simon can write good
Ipries, but it suffers from — of all things —
poor production (sorry, Pete). Both these
factors are exemplified in the song
“Freakers." Its about how people explode in
‘anger, and then realize that they are no bet=
{er off for it Simon explains, "On kicking the
wall that day, I broke my toe, and I learnt my
lesson so.” The chorus then declares that
“freakers end weaker.” ‘The music to

reakers” comes through the speakers as
muddy and cluttered, unfortunately. With a
clearer, more precise sound, “Freakers”
would take best song honors for this album

Big Country drummer Mike Brzezicki took
some time out to play on Sweet Sound and
the song “Heart Stops’ showcases his
talents, This song {s the closest thing {0 @

Breezick''s frenetic pounding, Driven by this

The product of the collaboration of the
Townshend brothers, Sweet Sound , is an
uneven work indeed, When asked about
Working with Pete, Simon said ‘The best
part was that it was in no way a favor. Pele
decided to produce because he thought the
music was totally valid, not because he was
my brother." If any band off the sireet had
gone to Pete Townshend with exactly the
same material, I doubt that Pete would have
produced them, But this doesn't really
detract from the album, Sweet Sound 's an,
album which can be listened to very painless

Perspective

eminism from 9 woman's perspective — is
there any other? Some men attempt and
fewer succeed to understand feminism and its
implica. ons in our dally lives. Those who do are the few
ho really consider the privileges the patriarchy gives
en as a class and try to give them up on a personal
level,

The discourse around this long, but Hamilton took

women, our view of feminism and how it affects our
lives,

First, It must be sald that not all women consider
themselves to be feminists, In fact, some are very resis.
tant to Identify themselves with this particular aspect of
political and personal thought. For some it Is too
threatening, too boring, or too overwhelming and the
loption of just ignoring Its existence and hoping It will go
faway and not affect thelr lives Is too Inviting,

For those of us, however, who do attempt to bring it
into our lives, a mixture of rage, confusion and
fenlightenment weaves through our dally existence en-
ticing us to always think, question and change the ‘ways’
we've been taught to be. I can not be so bold as to speak
for all women and how feminism has changed their lives

can be sald — her understanding of the personal as the

to cover the controversy surrounding New York state's

Mormon Church for her active support of the Equal

From Housewife to Herectic, The book describes her
growing awareness of the ERA, her public support for
the ERA, and her excommunication from the Church.
An energetic activist for the amendment and other
women’s issues, she organized and participated in a

1982, She also established a feminist think-tank to

For me those arguments were hard and painful. They

Bergman’s Best

ngmar Bergman has been creating
films for almost forty years. His
reputation as an artisan of cinema
and his ability to direct films have enabled

him {0 experiment and incorporate sur
realism into his work

Ken Dornbaum

Fanny and Alexander is the culminalion of
his long career and his best work to date
The story is an intricate portrait of a Swedish
bourgeois family in the early twentieth cen
tury,

Fanny and Alexander was released in
New York City this past June and is now en-
Joying its premiere in Albany at the Cine
1:2:3:4-5-6. It Is a film of soft transition
romantic passion, religious ritual and family
tradition. Commencing In a yellow tint
Bergman slowly unfolds the vast complex:
Wes of each character. Alexander (Bertil
Guve) {is the first to appear. On this
Christmas Eve of 1907, the ten-year-old
plays with toys that imitate theatrical props
Through his eyes we see the fantasy-filed
house punctuated with mechanized
reproductions of people and statues which
move. All this sets the tone for the
household of the Ekdah! family, whose for
tune comes from the theatre it owns.

As Alexander plays, the various servants
Scurry about preparing for the family's
Christmas gathering, It is at this point that
Bergman unfolds the story dichotomizing the
real and the surreal

The juxtaposition of the many orderly

Random teachers

To the Eéltor:

Icame to this university in order to obtain the best possi-
ble education that I could. Since I am here I have come to
vealize that the quality of education that I receive is targely
dependent upon the instructors that I have, whether they be
professors of teaching assistants, While choosing my classes
for the upcoming spring semester | found that under each
section of Eco 100M no specific instructor was listed, but
rather the word ‘staff. Because I was concerned about
choosing my instructor 1 called the esonomics department.
I figured that they would be able {0 tell me which sections
the instructor that I desired was teaching. I was told that
they did not know who was teaching when, nor would they
have this information until a few weeks before the new
semester would begin,

Tcan understand that the instructors may not be decided
upon by the time the course booklets go to the printer, but I
find it unsettling that they are not chosen in time for early
registration. The fact that registration resembles a game of
Russian roulette is not very comforting. I feel that
something should definitly be done to remedy this,

—Laurle Putterman

Leadership problems

To the Editor:

Once again, we the students of SUNY Albany are being
taken for a ride by our lected leader, Rich Shaffer, I read
with ‘disgust Mr, Schaffer’s comments regarding the UAS
vice presidency in the Nov. 4, 1983 issue of the ASP, Schaf-
fer's ‘'screening”’ of candidates was obviously incomplete,
I find it appalling that Mr, Schaffer would even consider
submitting a candidate for the UAS vice presidency who
could not meet with the time commitments necessary for
the Job, Meeting attendance is a crucial aspect of the posi-
tion Schaffer nominated Ms. LaPorta for. The board of
directors took the right action by not electing Ms. LaPorta,
I fall to see how she could represent the student population
if she was not present to vote in their interest. Perhaps Mr.
Schaffer should have taken more time in his screening of
Ms. LaPorta and discussed time commitments more in
depth,

Tam shocked by Schaffer's comments regarding Ms. Sar-
racco’s leadership abilities. Ms, Sarracco's leadership is not
in question here, Mr. Schaffer's is. Placing the blame on
Ms. Sarracco does not alter Schaffer's nomination of an in-
appropriate candidate, I admire the board of directors who
acted in the best interest of both student and UAS by
refraining from electing a vice president who could not

fulfill the job obligations.

Mr. Schaffer should take a good look at his own leader-
ship problems and stop attempting 10 pass the blame to
students working to better the organization they work for,

—Lauren J, Walter

Get satisfaction

Yo the Editor:

As students of this university, we are privileged to have
0 many clubs and organizations in which we can get in-
volved, One of these clubs which is relatively new to this
community is Circle K, Although this club is now being
reactivated at SUNY, it has been around for many years
and, in fact, is the largest collegiate organization in the
world,

The main purpose of Circle K is service to our campus
and the community. These services include fund raising ac-
tivities, activities with children, services for the elderly and
service where needed on the campus.

Although Circle K is a service organization, we still have
fun getting involved with other people, parties, conven-
een, a

tions, and most important, a feeling of satisfaction for
what we've done,

Students, we have a lot to offer but we need your input to
make our club successful. Now is the time to get involved in
Circle K, help the campus and community and still have fun
at the same time, We hope to see you at our next meeting
Wednesday, 7:30 in BA 213.

—Dave Geleta
President, Circle K

A unique spot

To the Editor:

Ken Dornbaum, in his critical look at the Gemini Jazz
Cafe entitled '"A New Look at Gemini Jazz,”’ has done his
readers a disservice. Gemini Jazz is a unique spot in Albany
that no one who appreciates jazz should miss,

His statement that the food is"
lukewarm, but burned or undercook
wonder. How many times has he eaten there? If he has
eaten there only once or twice how can he say “usually'"? If
he has eaten there many times why does he keep going
back? Perhaps he has polled many people, but 1 tend to
doubt that. I have been to Gemini Jazz twice and I have
never had a real dinner. I did have a chef's salad there once
however, and I found it very unusual (containing many dif-
ferent kinds of fruit) and quite good,

Mr, Dornbaum contends that it is overpriced, He cites
$1.75 for domestic beer as evidence, Both times I have been
to Gemini Jazz I was out on a date, Drinking at a moderate
pace in deference to my companion, I had about six beers;
she had about four. That makes ten beers at $1.75 and a
four dollar tip gives a total of $21,$0. Ten dollars a person
is certainly not out of line for a wonderful evening of good
jazz, Just entering the door of a New York City jazz club
an easily run $10.00 per person. The Village Gate is often
as high as $15,00, The Village Vanguard runs at $10.00,

Finally, the staff and the customers are not snobs, I am
not a-snob. I have never read Dante, I have not seen any
Seal amount of Picasso, On both visits I found the at-
mosphiere quite relaxed, My date and I found our way
through many topics of conversation and no one made
“rude and uncalled-for comments."”

Right to know

To the Editor:

‘The staggering fact that New York spends more tax
dollars on non-public education than all other 49 states
combined, and that in New York known figures reveal
direct aid to non-public schools has jumped from $99.3
million to $160.2 million in four years is a fitting concern to
express during American Education Week, Besides visiting
Schools, taxpayers should pose some serious questions to
state lawmakers,

—John Lutzlus

How much public money are we spending on private
education? Since state aid to non-public education often re-
quires administrative services and partial funding from
ocal tax dollars, we have no accurate accounting. Conser-
vative estimates for K-12 non-public support approach a
quarter million dollars and, with higher non-public educa-
tion aid, the estimate jumps to $1 billion,

Where and when do we begin (0 cap this drain on public
resources as we struggle to find additional revenue to
reverse educational decline recognized by task forces and

Hating disorders

To the Editor:

On Wednesday, November 16 at 7 pm, Middle Earth in
cooperation with Feminist Alliance and SA will sponsor an
Informal presentation on Anorexia and Bulemia. Anorexia
is a threatening endemic signaled by the vigilant pursuit of
conirol through excess thinness, whereas symptoms
characteristic of Bulemia are binge-eating patterns, Since
25 percent of the victims of eating disorders are college age,
T especially hope that all concerned people in the campus
community will attend.

‘There is a good chance than you come in contact with:
someone suffering from Anorexia or Bulemia cach day,
viany of these people are reluctant to seek help on their
wn and may not recognize their disorder. Thus, it is im-
perative that the public becomes aware of this potential
fatal situation,

Through presentations by Gail George, psychotherapist,
Who deals exclusively with these issues, a nutritionist and
two volunteers who haye recovered from each disorder, 1
hope that people will come to a greater understanding of
this relatively new health problem. In addition, we will
learn how to help ourselves or a friend, what kind of
help/treatment Is available, and where to find it, There will
also be an opportunity for questions,

Again, I believe this Anorexia/Bulemia presentation will
be valuable and worthwhile, I urge you to be there,

—Donna Corwin

Colonialism today

To the Editor:

‘The Tartuffian American concept, of what Latin
America is all about, is one that merits clarification to those
who see the United States as a poor soul, lost in an ever
changing world, This concept that ‘democracy’ Is
threatened by those, who wish to bring equality and justice,
is often perceived as communism, is wrong, This is another
social condition that prevents the people of the United
States from seeing the reality of what is Latin America, The
United States paranoia of Communism, Socialism or any
{ype of progressive movement, sees them as a threat to its
interest,’ The policymakers of the United States never
acknowledge the importance or the interests of the people
Who live in oppressive countries like Haiti, El Salvador,
Paraguay and Chile. It is never pointed out that the United
States supports more dictators than any other country in
the world. Many people in the United States blame
everything, that they consider wrong, as being influenced
by Cuba or Nicaragua, Don't you think that the ingredients
‘are there for change. To those who believe that the people
in Latin America are one and they're all alike, may I take a
moment to educate them, There are 31 independent na-
tions, excluding Canada & U,S., in Latin America, All are
unfairly assembled under the title of Latin America for the
sake of simplicity and commodity. However, when one na-
tion brings change to its people, the U.S. reaction is often.
very forceful; instigating Coup d'Btats and creating civil
strife. One very interesting thing about Latin Americans is
that they seem to know just about everything one needs to
know about the U.S. By this IT mean they know U.S.
literature, music, politics etc. Unfortunately, one cannot
say the same thing about U.S. citizens or its policymakers,
They know hardly anything about Latin American culture,
I wonder how many know who Pablo Neruda, Cesar Valle-
jo, Octavio Paz or Don Jose de San Martin, Ernesto.
Guevara were, The U.S, associates Latin America with
coffee, soccer, kidnappings and military generals. It is this
ignorance that prevents the U.S, from ever attaining the
confidence and trust of Latin Americans, An attempt by,
the U.S, to know the people whom they share this part of
the world with, would inevitably lead to cooperation and
peace,

The advocates of U.S, policy always point out to the East
(Socialist) and West conflict, whenever there is change in
Latin America, 1 would bet that there are many people to-
day that believe that the Mexican Revolution occurred after
the Russian Revolution, or even believing that Fidel Castro
‘was a member of the Communist Party.in Cuba before the
victory of 1959. The U.S. always attacks the governments
who brought positive change to the people of Latin
America, Allende in Chile, Velasco Alvarado in Peru,
Arbenz In Guatemala, Manley in Jamaica, Somehow the
ULS. never attacked the governments of Somoza in
Nicaragua, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, nor do they
attack today Stroessner in Paraguay or Duyalier in Haiti,
Why does the U.S, continue to support oppressive regimes?
In the long run the U.S, will lose, Wake up! It's about time
to put aside the corporate “interest” and take a good look
at the people in the shantytowns of Port-au-Prince, Mexico
City, Sao Paulo. They are the future that will be raised with
the hatred toward Americans,

A philosopher once said, ‘The profound hypocracy and
inherent barbarism of bourgeois civilization lies unvelled
beforé our eyes, turning from its home, where it assumes
respectable forms, to the colonies, where it goes naked,"”
(K, Marx)

Genesis offers advisement on testicular cancer

Genesis is the sexuality educational
resource center staffed by student
volunteers. We are located in
Schuyler Hall, Rm, 104, on Dutch
‘Quad and work in conjunction with
Middle Earth offering phone and
walk-in information or assistance.
If you have any questions for
Genesis, please drop them off in the
Genesis box in Middle Earth or call
457-8015.
Dear Genesis,

I've been hearing a lot of talk
about testicular cancer recently, can
you tell me more about I?

Basically, there are two types of
testicular cancer (cancer of the
testes), seminomatous and non-
seminomatous, Seminomatous af-
fects older males, while non-
seminomatous affects more
younger males,

There is a way to test yourself for
testicular cancer. It is essential that
you examine your testicles regula
ly, If there are any lumps or swell

ngs consult a urologist immediate-
ly, Those that have undescended
testicles are more prone to get
testicular cancer, Be aware that it is
fatal if not treated,

Treatment for seminomatous
testical cancer entails removal of

the cancerous testicle and radiation
therapy. The cure rate is 90 percent
r higher for seminomatous,

Treatment for _non-
seminomatous also entails removal
of all the lymph nodes. This type is
more serious in nature,

At SUNYA there is roughly half
@ case every two years. This figure
does not include those that had the
cancer but did not visit the Student
Health Center. While there has
been much publicity of breast self
examinations for women, it is also
Necessary for men to examine their
testicles and breasts, for men have
also been known 10 get breast
cancer. If you are concerned that
you may have either of these pro-
blems or any other, consult a physi-
cian immediately,

Dear Genesis:

Thaye thought about going to »
gynecologist but I do not know
what will happen, Could you tell me
about it?

When you go to a gynecologist
You will first be asked about your
medical history and about any pro:
blem that you are having at the pre
sent time, The doctor ar nurse prace
ticioner will then check your heart
and Jungs, take your blood

pressure, and take a blood sample
to find out if you are anemic (low
blood count),

The doctor will then check yout
breasts for any lumps. The next
part of the exam is the pelvic exam,
If this is your first time, it is a good
idea to inform the physician so that
she can explain each step as it hap-
pens, in order to prepare you, A
metal of plastic speculum is placed
in the vagina so the physician can
examine the cervix for any
disorders. A pap smear is taken to
detect signs of cervical cancer. Cells

are scraped from the cervix
plainlessly with a scraper or cotton’
tipped applicator. The cells are
smeared on a glass slide and tested
by atrained technician, In addition,
the physician may take a gonorrhea
smear in the same way. This is not
always @ routine procedure, yet 80
Percent of women with gonorrhea
do not have outward symptoms 50
it is important to ask for this test,

The speculum is then removed
and the physician does a bimanual
examination, This is done so that
the physician can examine the

Gawley and the Student Action

to get students to come out and

polls, said Gawley,

In the race for Albany Cty Com-
piroller, ‘students supported
Hilary Ring by far over Charles
Hemingway, Gawley, “This

may be because he (Ring) cam:
palgned extensively on campus," he
said,

Hemingway stated Tuesday night
that he believes students may hive

didn't campaign on campus, He
mentioned that he liked to think he

Hemingway said that he didn’t

According to Gawley, the figures
released from the Board of Elec:
tions regarding the number of
students registered to vote are in-
correct, “The true amount of
registered yoters is compiled from
the list of the newly registered

Voters, Since students move every

There were approxiniately 5,000
student voters registered, including
off-campus students, according to
ichaffer,

Students recall Grenada attack

(CPS) Jeffrey Hough was scared.
He was away from home and his
new wife back in Baltimore, Six
days before, he'd seen the evidence
of a bloody coup on the tiny Carri-
bean island on which he went to
school. He was later to learn the
deposed leader of the island had
been murdered, The new govern-
ment had ordered Hough and his

Fioretti, who did his
Undergraduate work at the Unvier~

sity of Maryland's main College
Park campus before emigrating to
St. George's, says the med school
faculty decided ‘'to sce how things
went!’ the week of October 24th
before deciding whether to call the
semester off,

Things did look brighter at the
beginning of the week, when the
government lifted the curfew.

“1 even went to class Monday
afternoon," Fioretti says,

One school administrator was
quoted soon after the invasion
began as saying the worst was over
by then, and that students were
sale.

President Reagan, in his subse-
quent explanation of the American
invasion, said American troops had
uncovered evidence on the island
that the Grenadian government had
been considering taking the
students as hostages,

Regardless of his safety,
however, Floretti never got to
relurn to class after Monday. The
invasion began soon thereafter,
“and everybody's future changed."

thunder,

“For a minute, I just sat there, 1
wasn’t sure if it was just a Grena-

our government was trying (o get us
out, but it wasn't confirmed. But,
he sald for sure there was someone
landing on the island."

The students knew it was pro-
bably an American force, which
they'd seen stationed off the island,
and even watched as a sort of grim
recreation

Three days before, some of
Hough's classmates had even gone
down to the beach to pass the after

Women swimmers take second in Dane relays

By Michael Skoinick

‘The Albany State women's swim-
ming team opened Its season last
Saturday by hosting the Great Dane
relays. The Danes placed second
overall in the 16-team field, a mark-
ed improvement over last year when
the team finished eighth,

Ithaca College came in frst
overall, earning a total of 158 points
to Albany's 135, Ithaca has a
powerful swimming team which
competed in the Division III cham-
plonships last year and had won the
three previous Great Dane Relays.

In the different events scheduled
Albany won two gold medals and
three silvers, a dramatic improve-
ment over last year when the team
managed only two third place

‘The Albany State women's cross
country team finished a respectable
14th out of 25 teams at Saturday's
Eastern Championship held in
Willimantic, Connecticut, The
strong showing has the women
looking forward to this weekend's
NCAA Regionals,

The team's 14th place finish is
slightly misleading; only five points
separated Amherst College and
RPI, the 12th and 13th place
finishers, from Albany State, Given
the times recorded by these three
teams, Albany would have beaten
the other two in head-on competi-
tion, ‘It was primarily the displace-
ment of our runners by the other
teams that made us finish where we
did,'’ said Coach Ron White.

The tournament was won by Cor-
tland State with 61 points; Albany
was far behind with 331 points.
These post-season meets have less
emphasis on the team’s perfor-
mance. The women ate running as
much for themselves as for the
team,

Karen Kurthy once again led the
team, covering the 3.1 mile course
in 19:03. The time was especially
noteworhty since the winding, hilly
‘course was tough on speed runners
like Kurthy.

“The course was all hills
the co-captain, “The hills hindered
me timewise because there was no
place to recover one's speed and
momentum.”

Sophomore Donna Burnham
gave her best performance since
coming back from a foot injury
three Weeks ago, finishing in 20:04.
“Donna has been coming right
along,’ said Kurthy, ‘I'm not sur-
prised with her comeback; Donna's
been working hard and she always
hhad the ability,’

One of Coach White's goals this
year was to lessen the time differen-
al of the top fiye runners, The
Easterns was the closest the team
hhas gotten to his goal, Burnham's
time was only 53 seconds better
than their fifth runner, Erma
George. Kurthy, Burnham, Maura
Mahon, co-captain Bette Dzamba
and George finished 20th, 58th,
91th and 92nd, respective

Despite the narrowing of the time
spread, there were still 33 runners in
between Burnham and George, “It
was a very tough field,” com-
mented Kurthy, “With 145 runners
‘ut competing, It got pretty confus-
ing.””

The team is practicing this week
for their last meet of the year, the
NCAA Regionals, which will be
held at Cortland State. The tourna-
ment will determine which runners
will go on to the NCAA Cham-
pionships; White gives Kurthy a
remote chance of qualifying. ‘If
Karen has a real exceptional

In the 20-yard freestyle relay the
team of Sheila Fitzpatrick, Ellen
Gottlieb, Carole Elie and Carol
Pearl finished first in a time of
1:47.8, Coach Joe Shore com-
mented, ‘This was an excellent
time, only three seconds away from
qualifying for the NCAA Division
TI Championships,

In the 200-yard medley the squad
earned its other first place finish:
The team of Wendy Cedar, Linda
Cerky, Elie and Kristine Monahan

even more significant Is that three
of these four are first-year swim-
mers here at Albahy.

absolute best effort.””

Burnham also thinks that Kurthy
might qualify, "I really believe that
Kathy has a good chance to qualify
for the nationals,” said Burnham
“She's been working hard all
season and she could peak right

out now,””

The team won't be going into this
tournament expecting to win.
"We're just trying to have a pro-
ductive meet to wrap up our
season,"’ sald White, a

‘and feels they have unlimited poten-
tial,”

The final silyer medal was earned
in the 200-yard butterfly relay by
the team of Mary Anne Schmidt,

Father and son start making up for 14 lost years

‘The weather was miserable, and the game,
was far from thrilling, but still, when number
71 hit the fleld for the Buffalo Bulls there was
‘one man smiling from ear to ear.

That man was Frank Giacovelli, father of
Buffalo defensive tackle Mark Giacovelli,
Who has set up residency in a Buffalo motel
for the duration of the Bulls’ season,

Due to his military career and his job as a
pit-crew worker on the Nascar racing circuit,
the elder Glacovelll was separated from his
son for 14 years, He now feels itis his duty to
sit through the cold, the rain, the snow or
whatever else it takes to see his son play, "I
‘was away all of the time and I never got to see
him play in high school, so I told him,'when
you play in college I will go to every game’,"*
said the dedicated father

It doesn't stop at the games, Frank is out
watching the Bulls’ daily practices. In addi-
tion to that he travels to every away game.

Frank has seen drastic improvement in his
son. When Mark enrolled in Buffalo, he was
6'1"" anda slight 175 pounds, In order to
beef himself up enough to play on the varsity
squad he started an extensive weight-lifting
program.

In one year's time Mark bulked himself up
to 220 pounds, making him large enough to
compete at the varsity level. One year later he
found himself as a starting member of the
Buffalo squad.

This turn of events discouraged Mark, His
father, who is his main motivator, is doing all
that he can to encourage his son on the com-
eback trail,

“He wants me to get back in there, That
Vdefinitely makes it easier," suid Mark,

Mark doesn’t take his father being around

Dane harriers tune up for NCAA Regional meet

By Tom Kacandes
an

The Albany State men’s cross country
team passed up the State Championship last
weekend {o rest and tune up for the NCAA
Regional Qualifiers to be held at Cortland
this coming Saturday,

The State meet was held on the University
of Buffalo's 5-mile course in 3 inches of snow
and cold, windy conditions which slowed the
times somewhat. The team results were of
particular interest to the Dane harriers who
kept warm by working out in the tunnels

SPORTS BRIEFS

White tops Purple

It was downstate 2, upstate 1, and one tic
in the annual Purple-White intrasquad var-
sity basketball scrimmage, held last Fri
afternoon at University Gym.

The White tam, composed of players
from downstate and coached by head coach
Dick Sauers, won the first two quarters of
the scrimmage, which was actually four
separate 10-minute games, Wilson Thomas
led the White team with 20 points, while
Pete Gosule added 14 and Danny Croutier
chipped in 13, Gosule led all rebounders
With eight, while Croutier and freshman
‘Adam Ursprung each hauled in four boards
apiece.

For the upstate Purple squad, Daye
Adam led with 17 points as he shot 7 out of
10 from the floor, John Mracek added 14
points, Greg Hart 13 and Jan Zadoorian 11
After losing the first two quarters and tying
the third, the Purple came back to win the
fourth quarter.

Soccer SUNYACs

Cortland State defeated SUNY Bingham-
{on 2-1 to win the title game of the men's
SUNYAC soccer championships, held Oc-
tober 29 at Cortland, For the victorious
Red Dragons, it was their 10th conference
crown,

Cortland, who finished 14-2-1 on the
year including a 1-0 win over Albany, had
beaten Fredonia State in the semifinals,
while Binghamton had upset Buffalo State,
the number one ranked division IIT team in
New York State, It was Cortland’s first

conference championship since 1981

Siena won with a score of 31 points by plac-
ing all 5 scoring men among the meet’s top 10
finishers,

Division 1 Siena, however, will not be
among the teams competing with Albany at
the Regionals for the top 3 places that qualify
a team for the Division III National Cham-
pionships next week. The Fredonia State
squad that won SUNYAC finished second at
the States with 81 points with their runners
much more spread than usual. Despite this,
Fredonia remains the heavy favorite to w
the NCAA Qualifiers because of their con-
sistently strong team which boasts several

In addition £0 taking the conference title,
the Dragons placed two people on the All:

only freshman in either division named to
the team, and midfielder Jeff Hackett

RPI and has ayoided going head to head
against Albany all season. Said Dane runner
Tan Clements, ‘We don't really know what
to expect from them, I'm not even sure what
color uniforms they have,

An interesting development at the State
meet was the marked decline of Rochester
and RPI who had been big challenges to
Albany's bid for a spot on the plane to Na-
tionals, Rochester finished a distant third
behind Fredonia scoring 172 points in th
meet. Asked about Rochester, Dane capt
Jim Erwin, who is a Rochester native, com
mented, “They have been running a lot of
meets and training very hard, but they don't
have the studs they used to, I think they
might be burning out,” Albany outplaced
Rochester at the Albany Invitational without
an extraordinary effort, Said Clements, "We
could beat them again,

NCAA Regionals this weekend,

4go. Key in the RPI victory was Scott
LeMay, who had his ‘best race of the
season’’ against Albany and finished second
for RPI that day.

At the State meet LeMay finished an in-
credible 75th overall and fourth for RPI. In
addition Steve Shattil, the Engineers? first-
man, wasn't able to break into the top-10, It
may be that LeMay is running injured or has

Division II's best 2-7 team suffered
another tough-luck loss this past Saturday,

didn't play up to his nationwide press
publicity, especially in the second half. He
finished completing 24 of 39 passes — 16 of
them in the first half — for 263 yards. His
two touchdown passes combined with a Jose

heeded, but they still had to survive a major
scare imposed by the Danes in the final
minutes,

Coach Dando, confident that the game was

the substitution of Barett for second string
quarterback Ken Hyer with two minutes to
play in the game and the Bulls up 15-6,

‘On Hyer’s second play from scrimmage,
his handoff was fumbled by reserve running
back Fred Mueller and senior Dane quarter-
back Bobby Jojo recovered at the Albany 47,

From thete it was the Jones to Pete
McGrath show. First Jones, who completed
12 of 22 in less than two and a half quarters
of action, found McGrath deep for 33 yards,

Jones hit McGrath cutting across the middle
of the end zone with 1:19 to play. Following
Dave Lincoln's extra point the Danes were
within a fleld goal, 15-13:

It was all up to Lincoln's onside kick that
would determine Albany's fate. In a surprise
move to try fo catch the Bulls’ return team
off guard, the Danes broke out of the huddle
and Lincoln squibbed the ball immediately,
without letting the Albany special team line
up in standard position,

The unexpected move seemed to surprise
the Bulls as the Danes sprinted downfield 10
yards to apparently recover the ball in a mad
scramble, However, the referees said the
Danes had initially touched the ball before it
traveled the required 10 yards, ruling the ball
dead at the point where it was touched and
‘giving the Bulls possession and the ballgame.

The referrees' decision prompted an
uproar from the Danes’ sidelines and even
mild-mannered Ford went onto the field to
discuss the ruling

The Danes contended that the ball first
touiched a Buffalo player and that was the
consensus in both teams' lockerrooms after-
wards

1 was right there and the ball took @ bad
hop and hit a Bull player in the knee," said
wide receiver Bob Brien, who was inserted on
the special team coverage on the play

Senior linebacker Eddie Eastman agreed,
“J thought it was a bad call too," said the
defensive co-captain, who led the team on the
day with 15 tackles while his interception set
up @ Dane touchdown, “But it's not an easy
call to make for the referees When you've got
11 guys in the middle of the field going for
the ball and you have to rule who touched it

Coach Ford, who seldom comes out in
print knocking a referee's call even thought
the refs made a mistake, ‘I felt Buffalo
touched the ball first and so do our players,
but what are we going 10 do? We can't drive
back to Buffalo and replay the game,"”

A few players in the Buffalo lockerroom
admitted it was a lousy call, ‘It was a
legitimate Albany recovery,'” sald defensive
back Andy Hurley.

U.S. interventionist policy is protested at rally

By Jane Anderson

alliers from across the country, including
five SUNYA students, gathered in
Washington D.C, Saturday to protest United
States policy in Central Ameriea and 1
Caribbean,

The main aim of this march was 10 «
the attention of the American people (0 the
Unjust intervention of the U.S, in Central
America and Grenada," according to Ricar

coordinate Albany representation at the ral
ly, “The people and groups involved wanted
to show the government that we are concern:
ed and that we know what is really happen
ing.”

The focus (of the march) was on the half
truths and blatant lies on which the Reagan
administration is basing their justification of
the U,S, intervention in Ceniral America,"
said Lopez. **They are using such methods
because they couldn't get away with their
policy if they told the truth to the American
peoplle,"* he added,

gathering at three separate
meeting places in Washington D.C, chosen

for their symbolic significance Steinberg said

Some met at the Department of Health and
Human Services building, because of ‘the
cutbacks in social services to further defense

who met at the building housing the Im:
