UPD seeking armed robber of Indian sub shop

By Bill Jacob
NEWS EDITOR

An armed robber held up the Indian
Quad sub shop late Sunday night and is be-
ing sought by the University Police
Department (UPD), said UPD director
James Williams.

After displaying a gun and compelling
the sub shop worker to hand over the
money from both the cash register and the
worker’s own wallet, the suspect fled
towards Indian Lake, said Williams.

UPD and Indian Quad cafeteria
manager Jim Tarulla would not disclose
the amount of money stolen.

Approximately 30 students were study-
ing in the cafeteria at the time of the inci-
dent, but no one reported having seen the
suspect before or during the actual rob-
bery, Williams said.

The suspect is described as a white male,
six feet, 200 to 220 pounds, with black
hair, a neat moustache, and no sideburns.
He was wearing blue jeans, a grey jacket,
sneakers, and a cap with a button-down
visor.

According to Williams, the suspect was
calm and quiet, wore gloves, and showed
no signs of alcohol or drug use.

The robbery took place at 11:59 p.m., as
the*sub shop worker was making a roast
beef sub for the suspect.

According to Williams, the suspect

The suspect forced the worker to place
the money from the cash register and the
money from his wallet into a white cloth
bag which was in the kitchen area of the
cafeteria, Tarulla said.

The suspect then asked the sub shop
worker where a rear exit door led to and
after being told that it led to the loading
dock, fled the scene, Tarulla said.

Williams said the worker called UPD at
12:08 a.m. Monday to report the robbery
and the first officer arrived at the scene
three minutes later.

Telethon celebrating its 20th year

By Bradley White

Telethon alumni will be “‘coming from
all over the country” to help celebrate the
event’s 20th anniversary, according to
Telethon co-chair Suzanne Murphy.

“Since it is our 20th anniversary, we
want to get some alumni involved,” said
Murphy, adding that Telethon ’86 has sent
invitations to previous co-chairs and
members of past committees.

“So far we have a definite commitment
from about 25 alumni,” said co-chair Lisa
Buitekant.

Murphy said that the response from the
alumni has been ‘really good’’ and that
one of Telethon’s original creators, John
Fotia, will be appearing during the event’s
televised hour to give a ‘‘spirit speech.”

Telethon also plans to integrate alumni
by featuring alumni acts on the second day
of the event, said Murphy. Telethon is
scheduled for April 11 and 12, which coin-
cides with an Alumni meeting.

Buitekant expressed her excitement
about Telethon’s anniversary, saying,
“We are so proud of it [Telethon], that it’s
been good enough to last twenty years.’’

The first Telethon in 1966 was, ironical-
ly, not televised, said Murphy, but was the
first major event to take place in the cam-
pus Center Ballroom.

According to Buitekant, Telethon has
grown from a single-day event into ‘‘a
year-long series’ staffed by 36 to 40
people.

During the year, said Buitekant,
Telethon raises additional funds through
such events as “Afternoon at the Bars’’,
Rock and Roll Warfare and the Dance
Marathon.

This year’s Dance Marathon was held
on Saturday, February 22 in the Campus
Center Ballroom and ‘‘was successful,”
according to Murphy.

“We had 20 couples who were very en-
thusiastic and each had a lot of sponsors,’

“We're so proud of it [Telethon], that it’s been good enough to last 20 years.”

said Murphy. ‘All the entrants lasted and
we got a lot of media coverage.

Monies raised at the Dance Marathon
will go towards the final total of Telethon.

Funds raised in this year’s Telethon will
be distributed among three area charities:
The Child Cancer Care and the Spina
Bifida programs at Albany Medical Center
and the Parsons Child and Family Center.

This year also marks the 300th anniver-
sary of the city of Albany. Murphy ex-
plained the close link between Telethon
and the city, saying “‘Most people on the
Telethon ’86 staff are from the Albany
area. We are trying to something for the
community and it’s a great year for
Albany because they are celebrating their
Tricentennial.””

Buitekant said that “‘the community
looks at students as people who stand on
line to get into WT’s [Washington
Tavern]’’ but Telethon is a chance for peo-
ple to see that “‘we are putting money back
into the community.”

Telethon is trying to ‘‘tie in the two an-
niversaries,”’ said Murphy. She added that
Albany Mayor Thomas Whalen has been
asked to be an honorary chair of the event.

“On April 2;” she said, ‘‘we will be hav-
ing a symbolic event on the podium”’ in
which 300 balloons, 20 of which will be
silver, will be released.

“The 300 balloons symbolize Albany
and the 20 silver ones show how Telethon
has been involved in Albany,”’ she said.

In 1966, said Buitekant, Telethon was
“‘pretty successful’’ despite receiving ‘‘a
lot of flak.’’ Money raised that year totall-
ed about $5,600, she said.

The amount of money raised by
Telethon has grown considerably since its
first year. ‘“We’ve made about $40,000 in
each of the past five years,’’ said Murphy.

Each of the organizations will apply for
and receive some sort of matching grants
from other sources. ‘‘We are just giving
them a head start,’ she said. Oo

area and a police dog was brought in by
the state police to follow the suspect’s
trail.

After exiting via the loading dock on the
side of the quad, the suspect fled towards
Indian Lake, Williams said.

However, the police dog lost the
suspect’s scent near the quad parking lot,
Williams said.

Williams said that the possibility of the
victim’s having committed the crime was
“one of the first things we checked.
However, there is no evidence that that
occurred.”*

The worker said he was questioned for
one-half hour at the scene and answered
further questions at the UPD office for ap-
proximately one hour.

“UPD is checking out my story to make
sure that I am not a suspect in the case,’’
said the worker, who is a sophomore on
Indian Quad.

The sub shop worker helped UPD Mon-
day afternoon to develop a composite
sketch of the suspect, Williams said. The
sketch is scheduled to be released early
today.

“I saw someone down here similar in
description [to the suspect] last week,”
said Maria DellaVecchia, a student who
worked at the sub shop Monday Night.

SUNY cutbacks
incite students
at Binghamton

Compiled by Karen Beck

(AP) Governor Mario Cuomo paid a
brief visit to Binghamton Sunday to at-
tend the dedication of a new arts center
and view the North American debut of
the Ballet Company of China, but he
found the concerns of state followed
him right along.

About 150 chanting students con-
fronted Cuomo outside the Floyd E.
Anderson Center at the State University
of New York at Binghamton Sunday,
demanding that he drop proposed cits
in the SUNY system.

Cuomo told the students that he was
sorry he ‘‘can’t give everyone what they
want,”’ Every government agency
wanted more than it was alleted in his
proposed state budget, the governor
told the placard-waving students.

“You want as much as you can get,
and there’s nothing wrong with that,”
Cuomo said. ‘‘But I will not sacrifice
the state’s tax cut to give it to you.””

Not far away, about 20 professors
from different SUNY universities
heisted posters protesting contract
negotiations.

One of the protesting professors,
John Carney of Oneonta State College,
claimed the instructors were being ig-
nored in their contract negotiations with
the state.

The SUNY professors have been
working without a contract since June
30, and Carney said negotiations were at
an impasse.

Cuomo, dressed in a tuxedo, had just
stepped out of his limousine when the
students pressed around him, firing
questions.

(AP) Corazon Aquino, proclaimed the
new Philippine leader by military rebels,

supporters Monday and urged them to
stand with the rebels against a possible at-
tack by forces loyal to President Ferdinand
E. Marcos.

Marcos declared a state of emergency
and said on government television, ‘‘I in- |

Marcos in the middle of a sentence, as a
rebel force took over the station.

Marcos then spoke to the country on

US extradites accused

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Supreme Court Monday cleared
the way for extradition to Israel of accused
Nazi war criminal John Demjanjuk, who
allegedly helped kill hundreds of
thousands of Jews in a World War II death
camp.

The court, without comment or record-
ed dissent, rejected an appeal by the
65-year-old retired autoworker from the
Cleveland area.

Demjanjuk is allegedly Ivan Grozny, or
“Ivan the Terrible,” a Nazi guard at a
death camp in Treblinka, Poland, who
beat and maimed prisoners and helped
herd 900,000 Jews into gas chambers
there. Demjanjuk, who is confined at a
federal prison hospital in Springfield,
Mo., has denied the allegations. Demjan-
juk, a native of the Soviet Ukraine, faces
execution in Israel if convicted there of

Greyhound bus terminal set to close by Oct. 1

Compiled by Ken Dornbaum

Greyhound Lines Inc. will close
nearly 35 of its 25 bus terminals
nationwide by Oct.1, including its
terminals in Albany, Binghamton
and Syracuse, NY, officials of the
Pheonix-based bus company an-
nounced last week.

The Albany terminal, located
downtown at 34 Hamilton Street,
will be closed on July 1 of this
year, said Greyhound spokesper-
son Herb Doherty.

However, according to Doher-
ty, “‘there will be no changes in
our routes or schedule...we will
only be relocating to the

suburbs.”’

Greyhound intends to get out
of the costly terminal business by
closing and selling terminals and
providing service through in-
dependant commission agents,
Donikoski said. He added that
Greyhound expects to generate
$100 million to $150 million from
selling the terminals.

Doherty said most of
Greyhound’s customers reside in
the sububs and not downtown.
“We will be moving closer to
(SUNYA) students” he said.

“‘Between now and 1988, we
will close all the terminals we

own,”’ said Doherty, adding that
the company is selling the Albany
terminal and looking to lease a
building in the Albany area near
the Thruway.

The terminals will be closing
because of decling ridership,
Doherty said.

“The whole upstate New York
area is nothing to write home
about. Business is down like in
the rest of the country,” said
Doherty.

However some routes are sub-
sidized by the New York State
Department of Transportation,
Doherty said.

“All these routes were losing
money and we could not continue
to absorb the costs.” he said.

Greyhound President Fred
Dunikoski said earlier this month
that the company probably will
eliminate 1,500 to 2,000 jobs by
year’s end, reducing its work
force to fewer than 10,000
employees. The comany plans to
close as many as 50 terminals by
year’s end, discontinue some
routes, and consider eliminating
charter operations he said. Local-
ly, Doherty said, at least 14
employees will be laid off.

James Cushing-Murray, presi-

dent of the largest local union of

HOWIE TYGAR UPS

Greyhound employees,
Amalgamed Transit Union Local

the 35 closures will affect fewer
than 5000 employees.

Doherty said he could not pro-
vide projected savings and was
not sure how fares would be af-
fected. ‘It’s too early to tell if
they will/be lowered or raised.””

“Our new terminals will be
operated by independent agents,”
Doherty said.

Despite losses, Gamble

The Campus Center Ballroom was transformed into a Las Vegas

SA, however, lost approximately $1,000 on the event, according

The Student Staff Association (SSA) a Resident
Assistants (RA) organization, has been formed in
an effort to provide a “‘straighter line of com-
munication” with Residential Life professional
staff and offer a ‘‘more well-rounded representa-
tion’”’ of the student staff, according to group
organizers.

Student Association has granted “temporary
recognition” for the group that plans to represent
RAs, Quad Assistants, and Student Assistants, said
SA President Steve Gawley.

Representatives of SSA are scheduled to meet
with Assistant Vice President for Residential Life
John Martone on Tuesday to discuss their pro-
posals said Gawley.

Mark Turner, an SSA organizer and an RA on
Indian Quad, said better communication with
Residential Life and more student staff input into
decisions are the main goals of SSA.

“We understand decisions are made on the
higher level, but we just want input,’’ said Turner,
“If the goal of Residential Life is to make a better
community, they should give RAs input in the
decision-making process.’”

On Sunday night in a meeting closed to the press,
a core of about 15 organizers met in LC 5 and
decided to conduct an informal poll of RA opinions
on the forming of the SSA, according to organizer
Robert Krisch, an RA from Alumni Quad.

Krisch estimated that at least 70 percent of the
RAs were contacted and nearly 90 percent express-
ed. support, a handful were neutral, and none
responded negatively.

According to Gawley, SSA representatives con-
tacted him Sunday night and he offered them SA
recognition. ‘The SSA has been granted temporary
recognition and upon creation of a constitution and
formal election of officers it will be granted formal
recognition.’’ said Gawley.

SA will ask Central Council to provide funds for
the group to support a “‘social”” for new RAs and
for general publicity purposes, said Gawley.

The RA Advisory Board is the present way, in
which RAs meet with Residential Life professional
staff. However, Jeff D. Stettin, an RA on Dutch
and an RA Advisory Board Representative said that
the board was insufficient.

“I was very disappointed in the Advisory
Board,”’ said Stettin, who helped form SSA. “‘We
didn’t really have any say in policy, it was a
mewscenter.””

Mark Ward, an Alumni Quad RA and SSA
organizer said with time, information, and a lot of
“leg work,’’ SSA could become a permanent body.
“I see it replacing advisory board if there is enough
support.” said Ward.

Krisch said SSA will provide RAs with a better
forum to express their opinions. ‘‘If they want their
opinions heard they just have to show up at the
meeting.” said Krisch.

“The difference is that there is greater in-
dependence from Residential Life—financial as
well as in organization,” said Colonial Quad RA
David Catalfamo, explaining the difference bet-
ween SSA and the RA Advisory Board. Either way,
said Catalfamo, “‘It can not work without coopera-
tion with Residential Life.””

John Martone confirmed that he is scheduled to
meet with SSA representatives on Tuesday, but he
refused to comment on SSA until he has the oppor-
tunity to hear the group’s proposals. ‘‘At this
point, I don’t have an opinion about the group,”’ he
said.

Vice President for Student Affairs Frank Pogue
declined-to comment on SSA until he confers with
Officials at Residential Life.

All of the SSA organizers interviewed expressed
hope that Residential Life will be receptive to their
proposals.

“] think the way we are going to present it (on
Tuesday) is going to be a very positive way,” said
Catalfamo. ‘

“Hopefully they’ll be supportive,”’ said Turner.
“What we are doing is not radical—it’s for the bet-
ter of the community.” 3

SASU disputes mandatory meal plans, dorms

By Karen Beck
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

“As students, we are tenants of the
dorms,’’ was the message presented by the
Student Association of the State Universi-
ty (SASU) at a press conference held Mon-
day by SASU President, Jane McAlevey.

The conference was held to discuss the
topic of self-sufficiency, which according
to McAlevey ‘‘means, in the most simple
terms, replacing the traditional state sub-
sidy with student-generated revenue.”

New York State is gradually phasing out
its subsidy so that all SUNY dormitories
will be operating on a self-sufficient basis
by next semester. The removal of state
subsidies has resulted in varied increased
dorm rates on each SUNY campus. The
projected increase for the SUNYA campus
is 7.5 percent.

At the press conference, which was held
in the basement of Waterbury Hall on
Alumni Quad, McAlevey outlined SASU’s
demands for student rights if SUNY dorms
were to be operated under a system of self-
sufficiency.

SASU’s position was also presented in a
six-page position paper which was handed
out at the conference.

The document defines SUNY’s role as a
landowner and the students’ role as
tenants.’ ‘For far too long,” said
McAlevey, ‘‘we have enjoyed little if no
rights as tenants in SUNY dormitories.”

In the SASU position paper, McAlevey
cited some of the demands that SASU will
make of the state legislature.

Among these demands are students’
rights to pay rent on a monthly basis, the
right of students to co-ed habitation, and
the right of students, particularly interna-
tional students to remain in the dor-
mitories during vacation.

McAlevey also plans to demand that no
college be allowed to impose mandatory
residence on campus or mandatory meal

plans.

While SUNYA presently does not de-
mand that students live on campus, it does
require that those who do so subscribe to a
meal plan which includes dinner.

Of 22 SUNY schools, 10 require man-
datory occupancy, 13 demand mandatory
one-year lease and 19 require that its
students subscribe to its meal plan.

“If you are eighteen years old,”’ said
McAlevey, ‘‘you should be able to enjoy
your basic rights as an adult. There
shouldn’t be a separate class for
students.’”

“informational picketing’ held last
Wednesday at the main entrances to the
SUNYA campus on Washington and
Western Avenues and a rally to be held
on the State Capitol Building steps
March 12.

The picketing ‘‘went very well,”’ said
UUP chief negotiator Tim Reilly, who is
also a SUNYA English professor. “It
was a simple way of asserting the state’s
reluctance’? to negotiate for a contract,
he said.

Approximately 30 UUP members
demonstrated on Wednesday and waved
the banner that was later hung up uot-
side the Social Science Building, said
Reilly. i

Also present at the press conference was
SUNYA Student Association (SA) Presi-
dent Steve Gawley.

‘‘We’re interested inincreasing
awareness of this issue in the legislature
through heavy lobbying,”’ said Gawley,
adding that he plans to lobby legislators on
March 3 and March 10.

“7 predict that the Albany Student
Association will see every legislative
member about this before the budget pro-
cess is complete,”’ said Gawley.

Gawley expressed disappointment with
the attendance at the press conference.

UUP pushes to publicize lack of contract

Across the state, similar demonstra-
tions were held, including a mock
funeral at SUNY Buffalo, where “the
future of SUNY without a contract was
buried,” said Reilly.

A meeting will also be held this
Wednesday for UUP members to
discuss the union’s current ‘‘work-to-
rule”’ status.

According to Reilly, ‘“‘work-to-rule”
means that faculty would refrain from
performing voluntary services for
SUNY and government activities and
would not contribute to SUNY funds
until a contract is signed. But, he said,
“‘work-to-rule is a very hazy thing.”

‘*Work-to-rule’’ affects public
schools where no contract is in force,
said the Albany chapter of UUP’s
Secretary Myron Taylor, who is also a
SUNYA English professor.

On March 12, the 32 UUP chapters
will send representatives to Albany for a
rally. The representatives will also visit
with legislators to discuss contract
negotiations and the effects of Governor

“While (it) didn’t draw as much interest as
we would hae like’’, he said, “‘it was held
to make a point that this is a vital issue to
students and that it isn’t dead yet.’”

SA is planning to meet with their Stu-
dent Action Committee on Thursday night
to “inform students about self-sufficiency
and budget cuts as issues we will be lobby-
ing on the legislature,” Gawley said.
McAlevey also distributed the SASU
position paper to whom she called “‘key
legislators,”’ who serve as chairs of the
Higher Education Committee of the state
legislature. oO

Mario Cuomo’s budget cuts on
education.

UUP is trying to draw attention ‘‘to
the fact that we don’t have a contract,”’
said Taylor.

UUP is the only satewide union that
has not completed contract negotiations
with the State, said Reilly, who added
that the organization is trying to
Publicize to the ‘“‘rank and file” of other
statewide unions.

A fact-finding panel was appointed
by the State’s Public Employees Rela-
tions Board in January to investigate the
Ongoing contract negotiations.

The panel, which met on January 24,
has not published any statements yet,
but will meet again on March 18, said
Reilly. The panel allows both sides to
Present evidence and to support their
case in the dispute.

‘New York State officials are challeng-
ing the submission of UUP’s issues
because “‘they say they are non-
mandatory issues,” said Reilly. But this
is a “stalling tactic,”’ he said. iz)

Abortion, racism topics at rally

By Colleen Deslaurier
‘STAFF WRITER

Eight speakers defended
women’s rights before over 150
people Monday night as this
week’s ‘‘Defending .Women’s
Rights Conference” got under
way.

The rally, which was held in the
campus center ballroom, was
sponsored by over 20 groups such
as the SUNYA Affirmative Ac-
tion Office, New York Public In-
terest Research Group

(NYPIRG), the Gay and Lesbian
Alliance (GALA), and University
Auxiliary Services (UAS).

“The significance of this rally
is unmeasurable,” said Veronica
Cruz, a member of Fuerza
Latina. Twenty-five years ago a
rally defending women’s rights,
especially defending women’s
rights on abortion, was unmen-
tionable, she said.

“There are all too many threats
to a woman’s right to choose,”’
said Carol Reichert, chair of the

Reichert also spoke in favor of

Reichert said that women used
knitting needles, lye, and coat
hangers in these illegal abortions.
“That’s not a myth, that’s reality. |
We can never forget these (abor-
tions), never, never again.”

Prior to 1970 in New York Ci-
ty, half the beds in any public
hospital were occupied by women
who had induced back-alley abor-
tions, said Reichert. ‘‘What went
on before could happen again.”

“Your life is worth nothing
without these freedoms and the
right to fight for these
freedoms,” Reichert said.

Colia Clark, a graduate student
in SUNYA’s department of

Students allege new weekend ticketing
policy on quads put into effect by UPD

By Craig Wortman
STAFF WRITER

Finding convenient weekend parking spaces at
SUNYA has become increasingly more costly,
because of what students allege is a new ticketing
policy.

“Pye had a car for two years and I’ve never got-
ten a ticket on weekends by the podium,” said
Gary Kutcher, a junior on Indian Quad.
“Everyone’s assumption is that you’re allowed to
park. . . (but) today I got a ticket.”’

The ticketing has occured around the podium
and in front of the four uptown quads, students
say.

Steven Kaplan, a sophomore on State Quad,
said, ‘(They) usually don’t ticket on weekends.”
But, apparently things have changed, he said, ad-
ding, ‘I was parked on Monday for about an hour.
to move my stuff in and I got ticketed.”

“T’ve alway thought that you could park up there
on weekends,” he added.

Director of Public Safety James Williams,
however, said that there is no new ticketing policy.
“(Illegally parked cars) have always been ticketed.
Now it seems like there are more (tickets) because
20-25percent of spaces are lost with the snow,”
Williams said.

According to Williams, students are allowed to
park in “Special Permit Only” spots after 4:00
p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends, but on-
ly if those spots are paved.

However, students assert that there has been a
change in policy.

“J got a ticket yesterday and I won’t pay it
because I’ve understood that you could park there.
I’ve never gotten a ticket for a year and a half,”
said State Quad sophomore Larry Stein. ‘‘I think if
they’re going to ticket, they should be consistent.”

Williams said that one reason for the parking
policy is to protect the landscape. “If it (the park-
ing spot) is not paved, we try to limit the parking
there so the soil won’t be compacted, oil drips down
and kills the tree roots.” he said.

“‘The administration says, ‘Look, we’ve spent a
million dollars on landscaping and it’s being
destroyed,””’ said Williams. ‘Trees are expensive; it
costs 500 dollars to plant them. Hundreds of
thousands of cars destroy the vegetation.”

Also, Williams said, ‘‘Crossroad parking (the un-

paved areas between Dutch and Indian Quads and
the podium) creates a fire hazard and can make the
campus both appear and be more dangerous. It
creates shadows that people can hide,” he said.

Students have cited safety as the reason they park
in the special permit lots that have been ticketed.

“T say forget it, I’ll risk the ticket,’’ said Stacy
Oberfield, a senior on Indian Quad.’’ I won’t walk
down there (the lower Indian Quad Parking Lot) at
night—it’s too dangerous.”’ She also added, ‘I was
under the impression that they don’t ticket on
weekends.””

Indian Quad junior Lori Miller said, “‘The park-
ing lot is totally unsafe, it’s a sheet of ice. Last week
I got my car stuck. I work, I can’t afford that.’ She
added that, “‘If they would take better care of the

lot it would be okay. . . .(but) they never ticketed ~

before on weekends.”

Some students, however, have not been aware of
a change in ticketing policy. Cheryl Ogman, a
junior on Colonial said that ‘‘I got one (a ticket)
recently. I’ve gotten tickets any time I’ve parked up
close, but not in the commuter lot. Sometimes, I
guess, people get lucky and don’t get a ticket.”

“A special permit is just what it says, a special
permit,” Williams said. It must be “medically
related, and approved by Student Health,”’ he said.
Or, in the case of faculty members, “‘If a depart:
ment head doesn’t sign it, we don’t even look at it,
Williams said.

Ticketing, according to Williams, hasn’t been in-
creased. ‘‘We consistently give out 200 to 300
tickets a day,”’ he said, ‘‘That’s not haphazard.””

The reason some cars may not be ticketed may be
that “We start ticketing lots at night after all of the
fights and injuries are taken care of first.”” he said.

“‘As far as nights and weekends go, a lot of park-
ing space in underused, Williams said, and Colonial
Pay lots are open during non-business hours,” he
said.

“The visitor’s lot always has spaces, and there’s a
lot at the Administration Building,”’ Williams said.

Williams said he recognizes the overall parking
problem, saying,“‘There are approximately 4,900
spaces and 10,000 people with registered cars.””

“Personally, I’d advise, if you don’t have a need
for a car, don’t bring it to campus. It’s convenient,
but it causes problems for people who need the car
(faculty, staff, and commuters).”’ said Williams. 0

A four year FREEZE

The Upper Hudson Nuclear Weapons
FREEZE Campaign will celebrate its
fourth anniversary at the Albany Public
Library on Wednesday, February 26,
from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Albany Mayor Thomas Whalen will
attend the event to read a ‘‘birthday”’
proclamation. The mayor who has been
a longtime FREEZE supporter, said he
“would encourage others to partake in
peaceful activities which make people
aware that nuclear weaponry stockpiling
is dangerous to our health.”

“’m looking forward to being there
and listening to the thoughts of others,’’
said Whalen.

Singer and songwriter Ed Degenhart
will perform at the celebration. Displays
and exhibits of FREEZE campaign ac-
tivities will commemorate the organiza-
tion’s past accomplishments.

The FREEZE campaign is currently
urging the United States to join the
Nuclear Testing Moratorium and to suc-
cessfully conclude negotiations with the
Soviet Union for a comprehensive Test
Ban Treaty.

Women lose edge

(AP) The increasing number cf female
smokers is caysing women to lose their
life expectancy advantage over men,
said Gus H. Miller, director of Studies
on Smoking Inc.

Miller, who studied statistics from the
National Center for Health Statistics for
men.and-women who died over age thir-
ty between 1920 and 1983 discounted
theories that the life expectancy ratio
was caused by women working in high-
pressure jobs.

“Smoking is the last explanation of
longevity differences,”’ Miller said. ‘‘In-
creased rates of mortality closely corres-
pond to the smoking habits of men and

women over the past century.’”

According to Miller’s findings, non-
smoking males live 12 years longer than
smokers, and non-smoking females live
16 years longer than smokers.
Dippikill winterized

The third annual Dippikill Winter
festival was:a slippery, sunfilled success
according to Dippikill Governance
Board Student’ Chairperson Donna
Villeneuve.

Over forty students and alumni took
advantage of the $35 offer for a
“‘getaway weekend” that included cross
country skiing, snow shoe races, and a
marshmellow roast, said Villeneuve.

Villeneuve added that Dippikill now
has two cabins with electricity, showers
will be added this May, and a new camp

more accesible for handicapped
students.

Leak silences WMHT

A water leakage which caused the
short circuit of WMHT’s (Channel 17)
antenna system last Thursday ‘has
resulted in the Public Broadcasting
System affiliate “temporarily suspen-
ding transmission,” according to
WMHT Editorial Assistant Barbara
Meacham.

The short circuiting was followed bya
brief power surge which resulted in a
small fire unrelated to present transmis-
sion difficulties.

Beginning late in the afternoon Mon-
day, WUSV (Channel 45) began broad-
casting all of WMHT’s programs. ‘We
are paying WUSY a fee to pick up all of
our broadcasting,” said Meacham.

WMHT is in the processing of remov-
ing the damaged antenna, and replacing
it with a standby antenna ‘‘until repairs
are complete,’’said Meacham adding
that WMHT hopes to resume. normal
broadcasting by Thursday.

September, said the person fit the
description of the suspect sought
in Sunday’s incident and that he
was walking back and forth in the
cafeteria.

She added that the person did
not look like a student because he
appeared to be older than most
students.

“T’ve always been scared to
work here alone,” said DellaVec-
chia, who mentioned that
“anyone working down here is
working by themself.’’

However, because of the large
number of people studying in the
cafeteria Monday night,
DellaVecchia said that she was
not particularly scared.

Tarulla said the cash register
will no longer hold as much
money as before in order to
reduce the risk of a robbery. He
added that he will discuss the
possible relocation of the sub
shop to a more conspicuous loca-
tion with Ronald S. Clough,
Director of the Commissary.

The worker who reported the
robbery said that he will continue
to work at the sub shop in the
future, but hoped that less cash
would be kept in the register.

Working at the sub shop is
similar to working at a 7-Eleven,
said the sub shop worker who was
held up, because in both places
the single worker is at risk
because he or she is ‘tin charge of
a large operation.’’

Williams said the only previous

bery occurred over five years ago,

Amid heavy rain, about 50 peo-
ple rallied in front of the Campus
Center fountain Friday to protest
the persecution of Soviet Jews.

Using megaphones, protestors
chanted, ‘‘one, two, three, four-
open up the iron door; five, six,
seven, eight - let our people
emigrate.”

The rally was sponsored by
SUNYA’s Revisionist Zionist
Alternative (RZA) and was pro-
mpted by the Soviet’s recent
release of jailed Jewish dissident
Anatoly Shcharansky.

According to RZA president
Robin Berloff, the rally was an
opportunity to awaken people to
the issue of Soviet Jewry.

“Beo things come from
Shchransky’s release. First, the
Soviet Union can no longer deny
human rights violations,’ said
Berloff. Second, she said, that
*‘protests such as these

throughout the world are making
an impact reaching the people.”’

RZA member Karen Herman
said that, ‘‘human rights are not
okay in the Soviet Union. We
don’t want another holocaust in
Russia.”

“Since Shchransky’s release
people assume everything is calm-
ed down, but it’s not,’’ Herman
said.

According to a fact sheet hand-
ed out at the rally, Jewish emigra-
tion from the Soviet Union since
1979 has plummeted by a shock-
ing 98 percent and in 1984 only
896 Jews were allowed to leave.

Hebrew is not allowed to be
spoken or taught in the Soviet
Union, said Herman. In addition,
when applying for visas, would-
be emigrants may be fired from
jobs and then arrested for not
having one, she said.

“We have to speak out for the
Soviet Jews because they can’t,
we have to do it for them,”’ said

RZA treasurer Denise Hurvitz.

“7 think the attendance (was)
low because of the Albany State
Campus. Students are more in-
terested in their studies,” said
RZA member Peter Pishko.

“Tn general this campus is
apathetic when it comes to
political issues. This is reality,
that Soviet Jews are not allowed
to emigrate to Israel.’’ he said.

“This has a place in the univer-
sity campus.’’ said Pishko.
“There sould be more involve-
ment from not just Jews. It’s a
human rights issue.””

SUNYA student Michelle Glass
who attended the rally said,
“*We’re here because we’re Jewish
and we’re concerned about our
brothers in Russia.”

Glass added, ‘‘I wish there were
more people here. On a campus
with so many Jews, it’s
disheartening that so few are
here.””

Ambach says SAT figures a misleading

picture of statewide achievement levels

Albany
(AP) New York Education Commissioner Gordon
Ambach said U.S. Education Secretary William
Bennett’s ‘‘wall charts’? were a ‘‘poor measure of
achievement.’”

“The nationwide figures both for the Scholastic
Aptitude Test scores and the graduation rates show
a good upward trend,’’ Ambach said Thursday
after Bennett issued his annual rankings of states’
test scores and dropout rates.

Ambach also repeated annual criticisms of Presi-
dent Reagan’s challenge for states to boost up their
SAT scores to the levels they were at in the 1960’s
and the 1970’s.

Bennett’s wall charts showed that New York’s
average SAT score was 900, the national average
was 906 and the state was ranked 10th of 22 states
where SATs are the dominant college entrance tests
administered.

In addition, Bennett’s statistics showed that New
York’s public schools had a 62.2 percent gradua-
tion rate, among the poorest in the nation.

Ambach said the SAT statistics cited by Bennett
were particularly misleading because about a third
of high school seniors nationally take the college
entrance examinations. In New York, about two-
thirds of the state’s senior high school students take
the test.

state could easily achieve the president’s challenge
of boosting SAT scores by “restricting the number
of kids who take the test.’” In the early 1970’s, Am-
bach said about 50 percent of the state’s senior high
school students were taking the test and now it’s
more that 60 percent. He termed Reagan’s
challenge as being “‘crazy.””

“The nationwide figures
for the SAT tests scores
and the graduation rates
show a good upward
trend.’’
— Gordon Ambach

Ambach said it was true that New York's
dropout rate was high. He attributed it to the fact
that the state’s Population was concentrated in ur-
ban areas, that the state’s poverty level was
disproportionately high as well as its numbers of
minority students all factors, he said, that ‘are un-
fortunately linked’ to higher dropout rates na-

Self-sufficiency, flexibility may
postpone UAS contract renewal

By Laura Liebesman

Self sufficiency and a new
SUNY campus autonomty ‘policy
may affect the renewal of Univer-
sity Auxiliary Services’ (UAS)
contract with the university this
summer.

According to William Anslow,
SUNY’s Associate Vice
Chancellor
Business, ‘‘the decision for an ex-
tension (of the present contract) is
under consideration right now’
and will be made between now

vand July 1, the expiration date of
the contract.

“Because of the workload for
flexibility in management, in ad-
dition to our regular assignments,
we need time to properly review
any proposed changes we’re going
to commit to,’’ Anslow said.

Self-sufficiency, which will
remove state subsidies of SUNY

fj dormitory costs, and manage-
ae flexibility, which will give
SUNY campuses more autonomy
in administrative decisions, may
both affect the manner in which
SUNY does business with campus
auxiliary service corporations,
said E. Norbert Zahm, General

. Manager of UAS.

“There are a series of items
that would impact on all cam-
puses.”” Anslow said, explaining
that the ‘“‘master’ contract is a
multi-campus type of contract
that generally standardizes items
such as payment schedules,
maintenance of equipment, and
obligations for equipment.””

Twenty-five auxiliary service
organizations within the SUNY
system would be affected by the
contract extension, Anslow said.

Not all SUNY campuses will be
affected by the upcoming con-
tract renewal. ‘‘Some campuses

“Gamble Fling’? was, “‘really,

190 people say they had a great
time, than 300 people having not
such a great time,’ said Ginz-
burg. “‘People said it was our best

Career workshops to offer job search tactics

By Colleen Deslaurier
STAFF WRITER

In an effort to “have better
prepared people going into
business’, Chrysler and Business
Week will be sponsoring two
career workshops at SUNYA, ac-
cording to Dr. Stanley Schwartz,
acting director of the Career
Development Center.

The workshops are designed to
provide college juniors and
seniors with the ‘‘basic tools
necessary to begin their job
search,’’ according to a press
release issued by the staff of
Business Week’s Guide to
Careers.

The workshops at SUNYA are
scheduled for April 2.

According to Sheila De
Pastina, one of the workshop’s
presenters, the program will con-
sist of both a live and a video
presentation, followed by an open
forum in which the workshop
team will relate personal career
experiences.

A workbook incorporating the
Chrysler-Plymouth Guide to
Building a Resume will also be
provided for students to follow
along with the video.

Among the topics covered at
the workshop will be resume
writing, interviews, dressing for
success, follow-ups, and network-
ing — the use of contacts in
business, said DePastina.

Schwartz said that this
workshop is unique in that it has
been presented at mostly private,
Ivy League-type schools in the
northeast and that very few state
schools have been chosen to host
the workshop.

Thirty schools chosen at ran-

dom will be participating in this
pilot program, said DePastina,
adding that Business Week is hop-
ing to bring it to a nationwide
level ‘‘depending on the audience
response.’’

DePastina said that so far
response to the program “has
been excellent. They want us to
come back again.”” The workshop
has already visited such
prestigious schools as Williams
College, Bates College, Brandis

Workshop topics
include resume

University, and the Massachuset-
tes Institute of Technology
(MIT).

According to Schwartz, the
workshop is _‘‘really a big deal’’
because it is being co-sponsored
bvy the Chrysler-Plymouth
corporation.

Funding for the workshops is
“‘solely due to the Chrysler Cor-
poration,’’ said DePastina.

The program was initiated after
Chrysler received an overwhelm-
ing response to an advertisement
which appeared in Businessweek
magazine, of which Chrysler is a
major advertiser,

The advertisement showed a
resume outline which the readers
could fill out and send in to
Chrysler to be evaluated by their

staff.

Because of the tremendous
response it received, Chrysler
decided that the student popula-
tion could use soni help with
preparing for their careers, said
DePastina.

DePastina said that this pro-
gram is a rather costly operation
designed to “‘reach out to the
students.’”

The program, according to
DePastina, is a coordinated effort
by two teams — the advance
team, whose function is to reach
audiences, and the presentation
team, who will actually present
the program.

The advance team consists of
DePastina who has worked with a
variety of marketing and advertis-
ing jobs in Maryland, and John
McShea, who has experience in
media and consumer relations.

Members of the presentation
team are Ellie Karr, program
director who has a wide
background in media; Karen
O’Grady, who has been employed
in the legal profession; and Tom
McClusky, who has experience in
both advertising and theater arts
as well.

There may also be a special ap-
pearance by Elizabeth Geraghty,
manager of special programming
at Business Week and Dennis
Flavin, the publisher of Careers
magazine, according to
DePastina.

DePastina said that the pro-
gram has received requests from
other schools and that they would
like to go ona a national basis.
‘All this is. considering Chrysler |
would back us.””

10 Aspects on Tuesday

n Wednesday, Feb.19, Jerome
Otters and Bertram Turezky
mixed poetry and music in a

presentation titled “Performance for Poet's
Voice and Bass.”

Elizabeth Miranda

Jerome Rothenberg is SUNYA’s writer
in residence for the Spring ‘86 term. He is
currently teaching a graduate poetry
workshop and will later conduct a non-
credit community workshop for writers.
Bert Turetsky, the most frequently record.
ed contrabass soloist in America, accom-
panied Rothenberg’s. poetry reading

bination of these two art forms both: sur-

Prised and delighted the Page Hall
audience.

After Donald Byrd, and English pro-
fessor at SUNYA, gave a brief introduc-
tion, Bert Turetzky appeared with a large
“B” across the front of his sweater. As he
fiddled with his contrabass (which looked
like a slender bass), he greeted the audience
and commented on his informal approach.
“It beats the hell out of the old idea that
equated a concert with a religious
ceremony.”

He then demonstrated the bass’s
magnificent range of sound. Using his
hands, a bow, and ultimately a chopstick
from “a fine Szechuan restaurant,” Turet-
zky created music which was at times
mournful, at other times dramatic, and
often saterical. He ignored parts of the pro-/
gram, terming the works as “too nostalgic,”
and instead recited a series of short poems

A pretty

eave it to John Hughes. The direc-
t tor of Sixteen Candles and The
Breakfast Club has produced yet
another superb film concerning teenagers.

Ian Spelling

Pretty In Pink is his latest, and it stars
Molly Ringwald as a poor but resourceful
girl who falls in love with a teen from the
tich side of town (Andrew McCarthy).
Their union creates problems at school and
at home as McCarthy's jealous friend plays
mind games with the couple and Jon Cryer,
as Ringwald’s best friend, makes it clear he
would prefer to be her boyfriend.

Howard Deutch directed Pretty In Pink
from a Hughes screenplay. He moves the
story ata fairly rapid clip, making good use
of a loud soundtrack to breathe life to the
few dull moments. Deutch doesn’t belittle
the sensitive material, though the conclu-
sion, which (too) neatly ties together all the
loose ends, seems a bit forced. Particulary
troublesome is the curt way Ringwald’s
father’s emotional dilemmas are resolved.
It just isn’t believable.

Still, Deutch takes the time to develop
the characters as much as possible. The best
example of this comes at the film's mid-
point, when Cryer sits sobbing atop a
mailbox during a driving rainstorm.
Deutch’s camera focuses upon.Cryer for
several moments, giving the audience am-
ple time to really sypathize with his plight.

Pretty In Pink features an outstanding
cast, not a single one of whom performs
less than honorably here. Ringwald brings
the necessary vulnerability to her role.
She’s tough until it's all too much for her
and she breaks down. She's a terrific ac-
tress; it will be interesting to see if she can
make the leap to adult roles successfully.

McCarthy plays Ringwald’s decent but
tich love interest with his usual charm,
while Jon Cryer all but steals the show
with his manic, seemingly improvised per-
formance as Ringwald’s wacky best friend.
He also hits all the right dramatic notes. As
Ringwald’s closest adult friend, Annie
Potts gives a splendid performance. Watch

while representing their content with
music. One poem involved falling leaves,
which actually seemed to descend as Turet-
zky skipped his bow along the strings.

Then, out wandered.a small man dressed
entirely in black, and the audience met
Jerome Rothernberg. His dark suit, along
with his beard and shoulder length hair,
leant him a wizard-like appearance. In their
first set, the two men performed a series of
poems about Poland. Rothenberg’s voice
boomed through the auditorium and then
fell to a whisper, only to rise again as he
derided Polish traditions. Meanwhile,
Turetzky translated the powerful and
angry lyrics into music just as expressive.
The effect was a dynamic exchange bet-
ween the two artists which’ infused the
poetry with energy and life.

After a brief intersession, the two men

poetry titled That Dada Strain. The poems
represent the Dada movement which
began during WWI. Disgusted with the
state of society, Dadists turned art and
poetry into tools of revolt. Their purpose
was to ridicule tradition and satirize con-
vention in order to create another kind of
reality . Wednesday night, Turetzky and
Rothenberg lifted. the’ audience with
outrage and mockery characteristic of the
Dada era.

At points, Rothenberg’s pitch virtually
matched Turetzky’s contrabass and the two
‘voices’ lingered eerily together. At these
moments, it seemed as if poet, musician,
and audience had all become mixed up as
one. We had entered the “Dada reality.”
But as the music died, the applause sound-
ed, all three fell separate once again. QO

The film works best when the characters
play off each other. One of the best scenes

ween Ringwald and Cryer, and Ringwald
and McCarthy are all quite good.

Pretty In Pink is the best youth oriented
film to come along since John Hughes last
film. Hughes has a knack for treating his
young characters and young audiences
with respect. He admirably continues that
trend with Pretty In Pink. a

Lennon’s posthumous career

et another “just discovered” John
Y: Lennon rarity has surfaced recent-
ly. This time, it’s a film of a concert
Lennon did in August 1972 to benefit One-

to-One, a charity dedicated to mentally
handicapped children.

Corey Levitan

Allegedly, the film has not been seen
since it was locked in a vault in New Jersey
13 years ago. The Madison Square Garden
concert now appears on a'55 minute Sony
videocassette entitled John Lennon — Live
in New York City. A live soundtrack
album has been produced for Capitol
Records by Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono.

John Lennon has been quite active since
his death in late 1980. In 1983, he released
the successful John Lennon Collection
album. Lennon followed this with an LP.
called Milk and Honey in 1984, for which
he starred in-no less than three videos. Also
in that year, he released a recording of in-
terviews he did for Playboy magazine in
1980 and donated a track to Yoko Ono's
Every Man Has a Woman album. 1986
promises to see the ex-Beatle no less busy.
In addition to Live in New York City, Len-
non is scheduled to release a videocassette
later this year which chronicles the recor-
ding of his Imagine album.

John Lennon lives on not only in the
hearts of his fans, but in the hearts of
money hungry record moguls everywhere.
And so the latest addition to the potpourri
of posthumous Lennon protractions is a
heavily promoted photoplay of “the last
live recording John Lennon would ever
make,” according to advertisements. Ac-
tually, Lennon’s last live recording was
made in November 1974 when he per-
formed at an Elton John show, but Capitol
Records already released the “just
discovered” tapes of that “last live recor-
ding” in 1983.

Live in New York City is most signifi-
cant for the fact that it is Lennon’s first ma-
jor concert since the breakup of the

Beatles. If anything, the film captures the
uneasiness Lennon experiences as he fears
he will screw things up. Conspicuously
guzzling Miller beer, his rapport with the
audience largely consists of nervous com-
ments such as “You probably know this
one better than! do,” and “Welcome to the
rehearsal.”

Occasionally, he offers a tension cutting
witticism such as “This song is from one of
those albums I made since I left the Rolling
Stones.” Despite the humor, Lennon seems
stiff and awkward. Of course, he had a lot
on his mind at the time. The FBI was har-
rassing the ex-Beatle for his involvement in
certain allegedly conspiratorial activities
Lennon's phone was tapped and he was
followed everywhere. Eventually he
received a deportation order. Yoko Ono's
child from her first marriage was kidnap-
ped by her ex-husband, Affairs with Len-

non’s record company were also a mess.
But then, this stuff is common knowledge
after last year’s special NBC movie presen-
tation of John and Yoko: A Love Story.
Live in New York City features Lennon
performing 14 songs with the Elephant’s
Memory Band, including the outstanding
Stan Bronstein on saxophone. The perfor-
mances are all excellent. Most of the tunes
are from Lennon's three solo albums to that
date, John Lennon and the Plastic Ono
Band, Imagine, and Some Time in New
York City. The more familiar ones include
“Instant Karma”, “Give Peace a Chance”,
“Imagine”, and the Beatles’ “Come
Together”, which has been released on
MTV in video. Yoko Ono also sings two
songs in her ustial style. In a particulary
outstanding moment during the show, Len-
non absolutely cuts loose — Elvis imper-
sonation and all — on the old standard
“Hound Dog” and seems to be having a ter-

Home, sweet home...

here it was: the apartment of my

dreams! A four bedroom beauty

overlooking scenic Western
Avenue and neighboring the renowned
Lampost! My heart palpitating, my pro-
spective housemates and I approached the
door and rang the bell to be greeted by a
somewhat dissheveled tenant with “bed-
head.”

Evelyn Snitofsky

I knew I wanted that place as soon as I
entered. There was nothing anyone could
have said to change my mind. It didn’t mat-
ter that the fourth bedroom was the size of
a large broom closet, that there were only
two windows in the entire place. I had to
have that apartment!

But I knew I had to remain rational. So
my roomies and I proceeded with our plan
to bombard the tenant with our questions:

Roomie 1: “Do you have a problem with
mice or vermin?’ (quoting from Residential
Life's handout entitled ‘How to Find Off-
Campus Housing,’ section four, question
eleven).

Tenant:We've seen one mouse, but we
got rid of him and I've never seen a single
bug, honestly.”

Roomie 1: “Mice . . . Shit! Yuk!”

Me: ‘Gimme a break, Sue. Mice beat
bugs any day. A few friendly rodents are
easier to get rid of than a slew of roaches.”

Tenant: “It's nothing a few traps can’t
handle, believe me. Or get a cat.”

Roomie 2: “T'm allergic to cats.”

Me: “Since when?”

Roomie 2: “Since birth, that’s when.”

Me: “So you'll take Allerest.”

Roomie 1: “Where the wall is cracked
over there — is that because of a leak or
something?’

Tenant: “Oh no. That's just where we
tried to put a nail in the wall to hang
something.”

The rest of the questions my housemates
asked merged into a blurred hum as I was
drawn toward the kitchen by an unfamiliar
force.

The kitchen! It was beautiful! True, it
cried out for a few coats of paint and the
floor was slightly warped, but the room
opened up onto a charming little porch
overlooking the backyards of Elberon St.
The chipped paint was nothing that
couldn’t be overcome, anyway.

But the real clincher was the two
bathrooms. Where do you find an apart-
ment in the student ghetto that has two
toilets? I stuck my head into the shower
stall — new faucets and butterfly decals on
the glass doors. As far as I was concerned,
my search had ended.

Rommie I: “You must hear a lot of noise
from the bars, huh?’

Tenant: “Not really, Since we only have
two windows, we don’t hear much of
anything.”

Roomie 2: “Maybe I'd get some sleep.”

Me: “Like you could sleep more than
you already do?”

As we left I released a sigh of content-
ment, “Isay we sign the lease this week, It’s
perfect. What do you think?’

Roomie 2: “I think you're just impressed
with the two toilets, that’s what I think.
What about the mice? The warped floors?

The lovely view of Elberon? Do you want
to look out at someone's laundry line over
breakfast? You're so easily impressed!”

Roomie 1: “But Beth, look! It has a
drivewaylll” ...

Now I lay back on the lumpy couch,
courtesy of the local Salvation Army, feet
up on the sawed-off coffee table sold to us
by the tenant for 5 dollars. There's the
chipped paint, the ever-widening crack
where the tenants before us tried to ham-
mer a nail, Drunken laughter . . screeching
tires. .. the flush of one of our two toilet.
Home, sweet home.

rific time of it.

Overall, the video and album are both
worth experiencing. The quality of the film
footage is excellent, as is the sound on the
digitally re-mastered soundtrack album.
But I must warn those who are resting
easier now that all John Lennon material
worth releasing has been released . . . there
is more to come — for years to come.

One record executive offered a legal ex-
planation for Live in New York City’s 13
years in limbo to Rolling Stone magazine.
“Where there's a Beatle,” he asserted,
“there are eight lawyers.” I think a mere
legal explanaton falls short.

Locked away at the Record Plant recor-
ding studios in Manhattan are hours of
unreleased material from numerous ses-
sions John Lennon held there. Similarly,
many previously unreleased Beatles songs
and films of good quality abound in Lon-
don. Bootlegged copies of this material, in-
cluding the Live in New York concert,
have circulated for some time.

Record companies not only know about
these “rarities”, but they've probably slated
most of them for remotely future release
dates and promotional blitzes. Doesn't it
seem strange that these “rare” discoveries
are usually made just in time for holiday
‘seasons and usually nonconcurrently?

The milking of John Lennon has been
deplorable. Material is being withheld
from the public in order to capitalize on
every possible drop of profits. A produc-
tion such as Live in New York City could
have been released years ago. To release
posthumous material in a manner
simulating the living artist's active creation
of a new work is an exploitative fraud.

1 honestly can’t forsee a period in the
next 15 years when we won't be treated to
“new” John Lennon music. As good as Live
in New York City may be, the production
is difficult to appreciate in light of the
possible motives behind its release.

Still, Lennon fans continue to enjoy his
excellent material, even six years after his
death. Keep up the good work, John! =O

Justifying
justice

The Supreme Court will begin hearing a case to-
day, the outcome of which may decide the fate of
affirmative action. aes
In pushing the case, the Reagan administration is
seeking to provide its own definition of affirmative
action, a definition that may set the civil rights
movement back two decades.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides
for equal opportunity in all hiring practices. Over
the years, the courts have used the law to force
employers to hire minorities. Opponents of this
practice call it quotas, proponents of this policy call
it goals. Either way, it is at the moment, one of the
only effective means of providing opportunities for
those who’ve been denied an equal chance in the
past.

The justice department contends that this prac-
tice is discriminatory toward whites and wasn’t the
original intent of the civil rights act. If the Supreme
Court agrees, it could mean the end of any legally
enforceable means of rectifying decades of minority
discrimination.

Without the law, past history has shown, unjust
hiring practices, as well as numerous other obstacles
will continue to make it difficult for minorities to
gain a substantial foothold in the workforce. Ac-
cording to Eleanor Holmes, former head of the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, if
the justice department wins, the Civil Rights Act
will no longer be an effective way to ‘‘eliminate
discrimination.’’

Actually, there may be some merit to the justice
department’s claim of white discrimination, but
tesolving the situation by returning to minority
discrimination, a far more widespread problem,
doesn’t make sense.

Attorney General Edwin Meese compares minori-
ty quotas to slavery. He contends that ‘‘counting
by race is racism.” Yet he offers no alternative to
the current policy.

Supporters of Title VII don’t advocate court en-
forced quotas; they want employers to be required
to constantly work toward goals — to make a con-
scious effort to continually build up their minority
workforce.

This is not discrimination; it is, in fact, a slow
struggle in the direction of equality. Perhaps the
Reagan administration offers no better alternative
because at the moment, there probably isn’t one.

More than wins
and losses

Violence has become an accepted part of every-
day life. It’s in the papers, on the television — in
fact, it’s hard to find something violence hasn’t
touched. The sports world is certainly no
exception.

It used to be boxing matches and hockey
games, or combination thereof, that had the
corner of the market on violence. But now almost
every sport has had its ugly moments.

Occasionally the violence hits home. That was
the case Saturday, as Albany State’s women’s
basketball team got involved in a brawl with their
opponents from Buffalo State in a playoff game.
The Danes may have lost both the the fight and
the game, but Buffalo State lost something more
important: dignity.

Albany was well aware of Buffalo State’s
reputation as a physical team; on more than one
occasion this season, Buffalo players have been
ejected from games for fighting. The Danes’
reportedly planned to neutralize the enemy with
good sportsmanship; if a Buffalo player went
down, an Albany player would offer a helping
hand. Buffalo State could have taken the hand.
Instead, they chose to spit on it.

The fight lasted only a few minutes. It ended as
three players were ejected, two from Buffalo and
one from Albany. It ended as the Buffalo fans
cheered their mighty champions. It ended as Buf-
falo players high-fived each other, seemingly con-
gratulating themselves for a battle well fought. It
ended as the Danes left the court a demoralized
team.

Although Albany State left Buffalo with its
24-game winning streak broken, it did leave with
one thing intact: its self-respect. And that’s more
than Buffalo State can say, win or no win.

Silent Scream:

Students on this campus are being given a unique se-
cond opportunity on Feburary 26 at 3pm to see the
film Silent Scream. If you are a woman of child-
bearing age you are a potential candidate for abortion.
(1,500,000 are performed each year in this country). If
you are a man you may someday father a child who is
threatened by abortion. Would you have any kind of
operation without first attempting to learn exactly
what would take place and what effect it might have
on your body and your life?

Rebecca Stanley

I attended the first showing of the Silent Scream, un-
sure of hou accurate its Portrayal might be. I had
previously seen still ultrasound Pictures, negatives, and
the image was quite blurred. Seen on the screen, however,
the ultrasound picture is much clearer. And the procedure
that it documents is not a simple little operation. It is a
forceful entry into a woman’s body with a series of in-
struments and the resulting destruction of much more
than a “‘blob of protoplasm’’. What I saw on the screen
prior to the abortion was a tiny body, his or her (sex is

" determined at the moment of cenception) heart clearly

beating, obviously sucking his or her thumb. And this
tiny life was definately ended moments later. If you
didn’t attend the first Screening and you accepted the
testimony of the film projectionist quoted on the ASP,
who alleged that the film was technically manipulated, let
me remind you of the testimony of Dr. Ian Donald, the
father of ultrasound,(and Presumabvly a higher authority
on the subhect than the Projectionist) who has sworn that
the film is absolutely unfabeicated. And let me suggest
that you see the movie and decide for yourself. And
please consider what would move Dr. Bernard Nathan-
son, one of the founders of the abortion movement and
performer of more than 65,000 abortions, to give up such
a lucrative practice, declear himself a murderer, and
create this film in hopes of educating the public. Who

would be better acquainted with the procedures and ef-
fects of abortion?

The main issue in abortion is one if life and death. Does
the baby die as the result of abortion? The very small,
very dependent, but very much alive baby I saw in the
film died. Abortion is legal in this country through the
ninth month of pregnancy. A few ‘‘aborted’’ babies have
been born alive and adopted. Others born alive have been
destroyed. The term we usually apply to the destruction
of life is ‘killing’, and when that life is human we call it
“‘murder”’.

A lot of emotion has been generated by appealing to
the ‘‘what if’’ of rape. Agreed, rape is a horrible crime,
and a pregnancy resulting from such an attack would be
anything but welcome. But statistically such incidences of
pregnancy are very rare. The image of a woman
crouching somewhere with a coat hanger is also emo-

tionally loaded. But I am old enough not only to
remember when abortions were illegal, but to have known
about obtaining them at that time, and the vast majority
of illegal abortions were performed. by doctors. And, let’s
be honest, for most of us the real issue is quite different.
For this paper’s readership the issue is one of having sex-
ual relations, taking precautions to a greater or lesser ex-
tent, and hoping or believing that one won’t get “into
trouble’’. I know, I’ve been there. And it isn’t that pre-
natal care isn’t affordable, because it is, or that one’s life
will be ruined forever by an unwanted child, because at
birth such a child would be welcomed by “‘wanting’’
adoptive parents, were that the mother’s decision. The
real issue is that we want to enjoy all of the pleasures that
go along with the act of procreation, while denying all of
the responsibility. The easiest way to do this is to let so-
meone else tell you than an unborn child is not a child,
that you are not ending a life when you have an abortion,
but ‘“‘terminating an unwanted Ppregnancy”’. And the
higher the authority that says this, the easier it is to shift
responsibility. Haven’t the history books taught us the
grisly lessons of societies that “awfully” preyed on
weaker elements of the population? And later the excuse
was that those in authority had said that these acts of
destruction were moral, and even commendable. How
many of us have let the Supreme Court or organizations
like Planned Parenthood decide for us on the issue of
abortion? And how many have taken the trouble to read
and learn for ourselves at how many days the baby’s heart
begins to beat, or when he has measurable brain waves, or
is first able to move on his own, and react to stimuli?

Not wanting to know is evading responsibility. Abor-
tion hurts everybody in the Jong run. For the unborn child
there is immediate death. The mother may have serious
physical complications. And the father, too, may be hurt.
Our society has been telling men that they need to be
morw ‘‘human’’, more sensitive and emotional. And yet
all too often abortion is considered only a woman’s
concern.

Shame, guilt, and a sense of loss often accompany
abortion. Pregnancy and childbearing are natural pro-
cesses. Abortion is not. Unfortunately, most of the pain
Tesulting from abortions goes unshared, and is repressed.
Women who are suffering these effects need to be treated
with understanding and forgiveness. I know what it is like
to make mistakes that have life-long consequences. I also
know the healing forgiveness of God’s love. It is far bet-
ter, though, to live reponsibly and avoid these
consequences.

Please go see the film Silent Scream. Go with an open
mind. Ask yourself if what you are seeing is real and what
your reaction should be. Listen to the objections raised,
and consider whether they really confront the issue of life
and death in the womb. The most responsible decision is
not always the easiest or most popular at the time. But all
of us will live a lifetime with our decisions on this issue.

Right swing

To the Editor:

Many students have found themselves on a campus that
is becoming increasingly conservative. Many SUNYA
students are looking for an alternative to this shift to the
right, and that is where the SUNYA chapter of Americans
for Democratic Action (ADA) hopes to fit in. There is
now an alternative to the group calling itself Young
Americans for Freedom and the so called Accuracy in
Academia. All interested students are invited to an in-
terest meeting which is to be held this Wednesday night
(Feb.26) at 7:30 in HU115S. Interested faculty members
are also invited. Now is the time to stand up and be
heard!

Rebel dollars

To the Editor:

The Reagan Administration has decided to seek $100
million in military and “‘non-lethal’’ aid to the rebels
(contras) seeking to overthrow the Nicaraguan govern-
ment. This is quadruple the amount the contras now
receive from our taxes. In this era of Gramm-Rudman, it
is fiscally irresponsible to fund these mercenary forces.
The contras are killing innocent civilians in their own
country. Continued contra support perpetuates a conflict
in which there are no winners, since the contras cannot
win without an all-out ‘‘Vietnamese-style”’ war involving
the U.S. War on Nicaragua undermines the chances for
democracy to succeed there,

The contra aid bill is expected to be introduced this
week, and Congress will probably vote on it within 3
weeks. The National Pledge of Resistance, with which
Peace Project is associated, is planning a major non-
violent demonstration 3 days after the bill is introduced
into Congrss. There will be street-theatres, a legal march,
and voluntary civil disobedience in downtown Albany
(ending at the armory on Washington Ave.) Several hun-
dred people are expected to demonstrate. For further in-
formation call 442-6964, Senator D’Amato (463-2244), or

Moral society

To the Editor:

I must honestly say that when I read Jahn Levin’s arti-
cle on our Campus Center’s so called Lesbian Lounge, I
felt it was pertinent in regard to the obvious problem at
hand, the gross blatant display of Lesbian tomfoolery. It
was the crude, retorting letters of two particular admitted
Lesbians depicting Jahn Levin as at fault, and not
Tepresenting a normal society’s true standing on the mat-
ter which provoked this honorable response on my part. I
will summarize my opinion about the actions of Lesbians
in a sort of biblical sense with this account of our evolu-
tion: In the beginning God created Adam and Eve, not
Eve and Eve. Furthermore, if only one thing is certain to
mankind and his place on this great terrestrial being it is
the passing on of the human species from generation to
generation through the process of male, female inter-
course. I am sure you Lesbians have tried this, and I’m
also certain that a little something was missing. It’s like
trying to get electricity out of two sockets, it just doesn’t
work. Granted, if this dispicable act of unclean unnatural
smut does not effect me and every other morally decent
human being on this campus, it is not of my concern, but
when these sick acts of affection from you, the unfor-
tunate misfits, is shown openly in public, well then it’s
time to set this problem straight. I feel it is not to late to
give up hope for you all. Like most understanding liberals
I would like to give you a chance to conform. Yes you
have sinned, and I feel you both owe Mr. Levin an
apology. I cannot’ plead with you to change’ but only ask
you see things through the eyes of the great beholder. No
thank you’s are necessary.

Letter from MADD

To the Editor:

Florida Mothers Against Drunk Driving, MADD,
hopes that this year’s College Spring Break will be safe
for everyone. Last year’s tragedies included three
students who fell to their deaths off hotel balconies and
two others who were murdered hitchhiking to Florida.
We sympathize with their parents because we understand
the anguish of senseless loss.

We want you to come to Florida to have good times
and enjoy well-earned vacations. But please do not come
to drive and drink or to use drugs.

Accuracy and “right”

To the Editor:

I applaud President O’Leary’s stand against Young
Americans for Freedom’s meeting for Accuracy in
Academia. Has it ever occurred to the Ramboids of YAF
that freedom applies to Academia as well as Nicarauguan
Contras? Those concerned with the “right” side of every
story is not necessarily the correct side. I, being a chris-
tion believe in the Bible, but, as a biologist believe that
evolution has more evidence behind it than any scientutic
theory. Creation ‘‘Science’’ has no place in any school ex-

442-5665.

The Albany Student Press will be accepting applica-
tions for the position of editorial pages editor until
11:59 p.m. on Friday. The job requires about 15 hours
per week and is a paid positon. Submit an informal
resume with a writing sample (a term paper is fine) to
Heidi Gralla in CC 329. For more info call us at

SRE AS ERE SEES

cept Sunday School. There is certainly more evidence for
evolution than Reaganomics as workable theories.

Another of YAF’s searches for ‘‘freedom’”’ was the
presentation of ‘‘The Silent Scream.’’ I don’t believe in
abortion, and ignoring the questionability of the ultra-
sound pictures; i.e. its speed of viewing, whether it’s a
ultrasound of a human fetus, or even a fetus at all. The
major question to me is, if this ‘‘doctor’’ is a believer in
right to life, why is he assisting in the murder of children.
The whole idea of a “‘right to lifer’ attending the ending
of a human’s life by tearing it limb from limb seems a
slight bit ludicrous to me

I suggest that Young Americans for Freedom change
their name to avoid comparison to other such named
organizations like the Peoples Republic of China, to
something more accurate. Possibly, Students Hiding In-
tellectual Truths. I’ll let you figure out the acronym.

Academic freedom

To the Editor

At its winter Delegate Assembly on February 8 and 9
the UUP Delegate Assembly, representating faculty and
staff at the branches of the State University, passed the
following resolution. The Executive Committee of the
local chapter endorsed the same resolution at its meeting
on February 12th.

Whereas, a group calling itself Accuracy in Academia
(AIA) has begun a nationwide effort to have students
monitor college instructors of ‘‘leftist’’ biases; such ef-
forts being a transparent attempt to impose the group’s
own biases on colleges; and,

Whereas, Effective teaching requires that facts be
presented in a broad context which may have political
implications;

Therefore be it resolved, that United University Profes-
sions condemns efforts by the AIA group or any other
group or individual to monitor the political views of in-
structors; and
Be it further resolved, that UUP calls upon all university
administrators, faculty and students to support academic
freedom and the presentation of all political views on
campus and especially in the classroom.

— Myron Taylor

Adam and Eve

To the Editor:

After witnessing a heterosexual couple engaged in a
very compromising position in the hallway of Business
Administration, I find it highly offensive that Jahn Levin
chose to single out lesbians as over-demonstrative in their
displays of public affection. One cannot go
ANYWHERE on this campus without being forced to see
rampant heterosexual ‘‘affection”. Jahn Levin chooses
to frequent a place that is also frequented by lesbians (not
gay men). Thus he has no right to attempt to police the
morality of a public lounge he, himself, chooses to
frequent.

Obviously Mr. Levin takes a lot of interest in lesbian
watching: he went into extensive detail on the actions of
those coming and going. I would like to inform him that
in my four years at SUNY, | have never seen anyone
“fiercely swapping tongues’’ in the ,ounge. Furthermore,
the lounge is not and has never been a pick-up joint’”’.
Perhaps Mr. Levin is projecting his own feelings and
morals onto the lesbians he so avidly watches.

His point, however, is not to be missed. Public Affec-
tion should have limits: FOR EVERYONE. Mr. Levin
claims to be indifferent to choice (but proves himself
otherwise). I claim it is impossible to be indifferent to
choice for even indifference is a choice. His obvious and
deep-seated homophobia causes him to single-out les-
bians when his statements should be applied to all orien-
tations (including his own). His letter was meant to pro-
voke; he would have had more of an impact if he thought
before he wrote.

“Let us demand a lasting
change,”’ she said, “. . . de-
mand a right to own our bodies
and our minds. We demand this
as women. Women have a right to
the tree of life, everyone’s got a
right to the tree of life.”

Focusing on women’s par-
ticipation in the South Korean
resistance movement, Chong
Amy Yu, Chairperson of the
University of Massachusettes
Third World Women’s Program,
said there are many acts of
violence against people in Korea.

Korean prostitutes, according
to Yu, are a form of recreation
for American soldiers. . They
“help boost their morale.’? she
said.

It is easier, said Yu to pay for
the prostitutes rather than move a
soldier’s family to Korea. Yu said
that there are well over 15,000
Prostitutes in U.S. bases.

The American tourist industry
and many hotels such as Korea’s
Hilton and Regal also encourage
the prostitution, Yu said.

Women are also exploited in
factories where they are paid low
wages and work up to 59 hours a
week, said Yu, “This is the
Jongest work week in the world.
These women are only off two
days in a month, if they are
lucky.”’

However, now many women
who work have become part of
militant unions. The Koreans are
fighting back against oppression,
Yu said.

“Sisterhood is powerful,’ Yu
said to the audience as it rose to
its feet. ‘Power to the people of
Korea; power to the people of
South Africa, power to the people
of Nicuaragua, power to those
United against imperialism.”

the African National Congress,
(ANC) spoke on the worldwide
fight for women’s emancipation.

Cuomo has proposed the
elimination of 177 faculty posi-
tions and 51 support staff jobs at
SUNY, with the addition of 108
staff positions in other areas. His
budget released in January calls
for an end to operating subsidies
for SUNY dormitories, which
totaled $27.4 million last year.
But state aid to the SUNY system,
the largest state university system
in the country, would rise by

$64.6 million.
As the governor’s car drew up,

According to Arlette
Slachmuylder, United States Stu-
dent Association (USSA)
delegates from the SUNY
Binghamton campus, the univer-
sity “‘tried to limit access by
students to Friday’s performance
by pricing tickets at $100 apiece
and by only making 100 student
tickets available.” Slachmuylder
added that “the university did not
publicize the event widely enough
for students to find out about it.””

century slavery’? must be
eliminated. ‘‘Apartheid needs to
be totally dismantled,” she said.

This will not be done, “until

legal leaders of the country

released from prison,” she
said. ‘Fight until you are given
all the human dignity you
desire.’”

Lauren Fleshler, a member of
the conference planning commit-
tee, said that the rally “was suc-
cessful,”’ however, she ‘would
have liked to see more in number
and mixture here tonight.”

“Tt was a lot of hard work, but
it was worth it.....There was a
definite feeling of sisterhood—a
lot of people were inspired,”’ said
Laura Lunt, another member of
the planning committee.

Louise Haberman who also
helped plan the conference, said
that the conference cost approx-
imately $2,000 to organize. This
money came from contributions
from the various sponsors, she
said.

“The central goal of the con-
ference is to get women to go to
Washington and partake in the
March for Women’s Lives on
March 9,” she said. The point of
the march is “‘to give a statement
that women’s lives are being
threatened by efforts to outlaw
abortion.””

Maretta Callahan, a SUNYA
graduate student who attended
the rally, said that her
“knowledge has been reinforced
(by the rally). It’s good these
topics are in the open and remain
in the open. (The rally) inspired
me to call in sick on March 9 and
go to Washington.”

According to Slachmuylder,
Raymond Dye, SUNY Bingham-
ton’s Vice President for Student
Affairs acted as a liason between
Cuomo and the students. ‘“Dye
told us that Cuomo was willing to
meet with four Student Associa-
tion members from the Bingham-
ton campus to discuss our pro-
blems with the budget cuts if we
cancelled the rally,’’ said
Slachmuylder.

“We felt that this was nowhere
near appropriate compensation
and we listed the demands which
we sought to have satisfied by
Cuomo,”’ said Slachmuylder.

Included in these demands was
the reinstitution of $18.9 million
into the state budget to compen-
sate for faculty and staff funds
that were cut, the replacement of
$5.4 million so that dorm opera-
tion could continue on SUNY
campuses without the system of
self-sufficiency and an additional
$30.4 million for the entire SUNY
system.

“*We felt that it was important
for us as students to send as
strong message to the governor
concerning budget cuts,”’ said
Azcarat.

The dedication was supposed
to act as a fund raiser for the
university, said Azcarat ‘‘but the
proceeds from it are not for pro-
grams during the academic year,
but for summer session projects.”’

Counselling eases incest trauma

By Annette Perot
According to Debra Whiting-Alexander, a sexual
assault therapist at the Albany County Rape
Center, approximately one out of every four girls
and one out of every seven boys is a victim of some
form of sexual abuse before the age of 18. Several
sources indicate that 85 percent of those children
were exploited by someone they knew: relative,
family friend or neighbor. In 7
other words, incest is not an Middle
isolated occurance. It is a serious E h
concern which affects thousands art
of lives every year.

Incest is a term referring Roots
specifically to sexual intercourse between persons so
closely related that marriage between them is illegal
and taboo. Here, though, the terms incest .and
family sexual abuse will be used interchangeably to
refer to the sexual misuse and exploitation of one
family member by another which is inapporpriate
due to the age and maturity of the victim. Incest in
this sense may also include such things as fondling,
oral sex, voyeurism, and child pornography.

Because of the topic of incest is such a taboo the
exploitation often remains undisclosed by the child.
In situations when the child does tell someone, he
or she is rarely believed. This only serves to aug-
ment the painful and confusing feelings that the
child experiences.

A sense of betrayal by the offender is a very com-
mon feeling among victims. Incest is a violation of
the child’s trust and an abuse of the social family
roles and authority over the child. Because incest
typically occurs without force, in what is supposed
to be a caring relationship, an incest survivor will
often grow up destrusting adults. The individual
may continually feel that he has no control over
future abuse occuring by someone else he trusts.

In situations where the incest remains a hidden
secret, without being disclosed or believed, the in-
dividual usually grows up with a tremendous
amount of agonizing feelings bottled up inside. In
silence, the person suffers as these feelings build
with no means of escape. The strong emotions are
like a snowball rolling down a hill, growing so large
with time that the person becomes petrified to tell

anyone about them. The individual may feel that
expressing such powerful emotions would be too in-
tense and overwhelming.

there is usually a need, though, for the individual
to work out the numerous, confusing feelings she
has because they have a way of gnawing away at
and destroying a person’s sense of self-worth. Feel-

unable to express rage at the offender. Instead the
anger remains inside, directed at the victim, which
only decreases the person’s self-esteem further.

It’s often difficult for the individual to accept
that the exploitation is not his fault, that the of-
fender is always responsible for his or her actions.
The incest survivor commonly feels alone, isolated,
and disconnected from the people around him or
her. He or she may feel ‘different’ from others
because of the abuse and become more withdrawn
and depressed.

If you are an incest survivor or still involved in an
exploitive relationship you are not alone. Support
groups, counseling, and information are available
throughout the capital district.

-Male students dominate classroom

Cambridge, Mass.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE—

Male students tend to dominate
the classroom conversations even
when the instructor is female, a
new Harvard study said. _

Previously, much education
research blamed women’s
classroom reticence on discom-
fort with having male professors.

The report is the second in as
many weeks indicating colleges
aren’t always as hospitable to
women as they are to men.

Two weeks ago Congress’ Of-
fice of Technology Assessment
found college teachers often steer
women away from high-paying
science and engineering careers
with subtly-descouraging
classroom behavior.

In the new Harvard study,
Education Prod. Catherine Krup-

nick. videotaped Harvard courses
taught by 24 different instructors,
and then calculated how often--
and how long--male and female
students participated in classroom
discussions.

Krupnick, who conducts
workshops on other campuses,
says men dominate classroom
discussions at colleges around the
country.

While Krupnick said men’s and
women’s grades and aptitude test
scores are about the same, whe
said male dominance in the
classroom is important because
“liberal arts schools are set up to
imply participation is impor-
tant.’’ The same problems show
up later in the workplace, she
said.

Krupnick began studying
classroom speaking habits to help

her figure out why women who do
as well as men in college don’t
seem to be keeping up in their
careers ten years after graduation.

Studies show that marriage and
childbearing are not the main
obstacles to career success, she
said.

Women’s career problems,
Krupnick said, are at least partial-
ly related to both their restraint in
participating in the classroom and
instructors’ acceptance of what
they have to say.

“In the real world, the ability
to express ideas forcefully is im-
portant. It’s highly correlated
with how you do in your career,””
Krupnick said.

“It confirms our findings,”’
said Bernice Sandler of the Pro-
ject on the Education and Status

Conflict of church and state aroused in Texas

Austin, Texas
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE—

Texas state colleges are going to
offer bible classes this spring after
all.

Last fall, state Attorney
General James Mattox advised
schools not to let teachers paid by
religious groups teach accre@ner
religion classes on their campuses.

The arrangements, which have
been in force for 80 years and are
common in the Midwest, came

close to getting the state into the
buisness of addvocating or sup-
porting certain religions, Mattox
said.

The practice of letting churches
sponsor academic courses was
“an excessive entanglement bet-
ween church and state,’’ Mattox
said.

Soon after Mattox announced
his opinion, a number of state
schools announced they didn’t
have enough teachers on staff to

teach the religion courses
themselves, and, consequently,
would fold most of the bible
course sections.

After months of controversy,
however, some colleges have
changed their minds, and schedul-
ed the courses--taught by teachers
paid by private church groups--
for the spring semester.

College officials said they’ll
wait until Mattox issues another
opinion in March before junking
the courses.

“Right now I don’t have the
money to hire more faculty,”’ said
Dean Thomas Porter of the
University of Texas at Arlingron.

Arlington, the UT campuses at
Austin and El Paso, and North
Texas State, among others, are re-
opening subsidized religion
courses.

“What we got here is an at-
torney general ignoring the state
constitution,’’ said Allan
MeNicol, chair of the Bible
Studies program at the University
of Texas in Austin. ‘‘It’s another
one of those issues where the state
is rubbing up against the believing
communities.””

But even some religion instruc-
tors agreed colleges, not chur-
ches, should control who teaches
and what they teach.

“I don’t think we have the
right to tell the university who
their faculty are,” said Richard

Albin, a campus minister who
also has taught at Texas-El Paso.

“‘We wanted more control’’
over who taught the classes, said
Richard Rafes, lawyer for North
Texas State, which first asked
Mattox to rule on the issue. ‘‘The
purpose was to get a higher quali-
ty program.’’

But college administrators said
that subsequent announcements
by Mattox’s office also encourag-
ed them to reactivate their
religion courses.

Mattox himself recently advis-
ed campuses to continue the
courses as they are until his office
puts out guidelines, said Jerry
Gilmore, the attorney for the
Texas Baptist General Conven-
tion. The guidelines are expected
to be released in March.

Some administrators, however,
speculate Mattox is retreating
from political pressure.

“Religion is a politically sen-
sitive issue in the state of Texas,”
a campus attorney said. Mattox’s
office maintained some educators
merely overreacted.

Contrary to some alarmed in-
ferences, Mattox said ‘‘religious
organizations can fund a chair,
but with no strings attached.”

Assistant Attorney General
Jennifer Riggs said ‘‘the issue is
one of control. We want the
universities to control who
teaches the courses, not the
denominations.”

But giving campuses control
may leave them without religion
courses.

“I don’t think they (churches)
will be setting up chairs in which
people they don’t choose would
be teaching a course they fund,”
Rafes said.

The ‘‘no strings attached” is
not going to bring much money
for the courses, he said.

McNicol and other advocates
of subsidizing the courses say
most bible teachers already have
legitimate academic credentials.

Yet “sometimes the balanceing
of the separation of church and
State, and the freedom of religion
is a complex issue,”’ Riggs said.

Many Midwestern colleges use
campus ministers to teach religion
classes, but the constitutionality
of the practice has not been
challenged, said University of
Nebraska clergyman Larry Doerr.

State colleges’ relationships to
church groups do arise frequent-
ly, though.

In 1984, the University of
Florida student government
withheld money from religious
organizations, claiming such
alloations violated the constitu-
tionally mandated separation of
church and state.

And in 1980, the 8th U.S. Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals in Kansas
City, Mo., ruled religious grous
could use U. Missouri-Kansas
campus facilities.

Group plans campus-oriented video network

New York, NY sound system.

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE—

Having once failed in its effort
to bring big screen video shows to
the nation’s campuses, a buisness
group says it’s ready to try again.

If the plan works, by next fall a
select number of campuses will be
getting concerts, lectures, shows,
movies and other entertainment
beamed to them via satellite, ac-
companied by what one previewer
said is an astoundingly good

The group, called Campus Net-
work, has been installing the
necessary equiptment at 20 col-
leges during the last two years in
preparation for the debut.

In 1982, a firm called Campus
Entertainment Network announc-
ed a splashy series of Broadway
shows and big-name rock con-
certs that it would beam to what it
hoped to be a network of 100
campuses.

“Jessica Moser

The effort, however, quickly
came apart amid complaints of
unmet promises, bad picture
quality, unpaid bills and terrible
scheduling.

For example, CEN’s last and
most expensive effort--The Who’s
last North American concert--was
beamed to only 13 campuses,
most of which had already emp-
tied for the Christmas holidays.

Intrigued by the idea, if not its
execution, Campus Network
bought CEN’s assets in 1983.

So far, 12 schools have signed
up for CN’s ‘‘video event
centers.””

“We think they had a great
idea, but it needed more research
and refinement,” said Marilyn
Freeman, who worked for CEN
and now directs network develop-
ment for Campus Network. In
fact, three other CEN executives
joined Freeman at the new
company.

Freeman said they’ll try to
avoid some of CEN’s mistakes by
offering deversified programm-
ing, as opposed to the exclusively
live events CEN broadcast.

Campus Network also has been
steadily improving the quality of
the video image, which Freeman
said will be as good as 35mm film.

In a few preliminary screen-
ings, Campus Network has run

Sexism
415
of Women.

Sandler and colleague Roberta
Hall have released numerous
summary studies documenting
differences in the way men and
women to to--and are treated in--
college.

Female instructors themselves
often were raised in homes that
considered men’s views as more
valuable, Sandler said.

Their upbringing, she said may
explain why women teachers
might allow men to dominate
class discussions.

“Many of the different expec-
tations for men and women are
carried over from the larger social
situation into the college
classroom,”’ Hall said.

In another study, University of
California researchers Candice
West and Donald Zimmerman
found men interrupt classroom
conversations three times more

video shorts similar to those
shown on MTv.

“Their sound system is ab-
solutely amazing,’ said Jack
Stiles, a student activities advisor
for the University of Tennessee at
Knoxville.

Stiles said the ‘‘video center’? is
a bargain because the service,
besides a few ‘‘minor ad-
justments”’ to the auditorium, is
free to the school.

Freeman said CN installs and
pays for the $60,000 worth of
equiptment--including satellite
dish, projector, screen and sound
system--it takes to send its pro-
grams to the schools at which it
will operate.

It hopes to make back its in-
vestment and make its profits
through ticket sales on the cam-
puses and by selling ads on its
programs.

“We are looking for ways to
minimize costs to students. We
keep that in mind because many
of us are not long out of school,”
Freeman said.

“The ability to get entertain-
ment to our students here in rural
USA attracted us in becoming an

affiliate,” said University of
Idaho student union director
Dean Vettrus.

He also looks forward to using
the system to stage conferences.

often than women. Also, women
wait twice as long to interrupt.

However, they also found that
women are just as likely as men to
gain the floor when they do
interrupt.

Previous research also in-
dicated women’s classroom
language is not as ‘assertive’ as
men’s. But Krupnick’s study
differed.

“Our farmers could talk to peo-
ple in Washington.”

Also, unlike CEN, CN isn’t
wholly dependent on its video
shows for its survival.

The company also runs Na-
tional College Television, which
supplies programming to campus
tv stations.

NCTV, started in January
1984, offers six programs ranging
form cartoons to documentaries
and two-minute news spots,
which are aired by college stations
five times a week.

Advertisers pay for the
satellite-transmitted programs,
which-are free to the campus
stations.

“We saw that many schools
had their own channel, but they
needed more programming,’’
Freeman said.

“More than’’ 125 schools, at-
tended by a total of 1.4 million
students, now subscribe to
NCTV. “Things are looking bet-
ter than ever. We are increasing
affiliates each week,’? Freeman
said.

NCTV brings in the bulk of
Campus Network’s revenue for
now, but the long range plan is to
make the video centers ‘“‘the ma-
Jor profit center,”’ Freeman said.

Krupnick said female students’
classroom problems to the plight
of immigrants being introduced
into the public school system in
New York City around the turn of
the century. ‘‘They did not speak
up as much in class because of
language barriers.”

Women, she said, are un-
familiar with the type of asser-
tiveness associated with success.

Basketball fracas

<Back Page

was grabbed by a Buffalo player and carried over to the
sideline. The fight was broken up as Albany head
coach Mari Warner reached Bayba. The senior showed
true spirit by bleeding purple, although her lip was real-
ly bleeding a very rich red.

As both teams returned to their benches, the dif-
ference between the two team’s attitudes was evident.
The Albany players sat there, staring at the empty
basketball court in disbelief, while the Buffalo Bengals
gave each other high fives and were laughing.

Three players were ejected from the game: Buffalo
State’s O’Callahan and Williams and Albany’s Bayba.

The final eleven seconds ticked away peacefully.
After the game Buffalo’s head coach Gail Malony
shrugged off the fight. She said that in basket ball there
is a lot of banging and a lot of contact. Then she tried
to draw a comparison between Division III women’s
basketball and the NBA.

It happens all the time she said.

As far as O’Callagan throwing the punch at Bayba,
Maloney said she saw Bayba squaring up to throw a
punch; O’Callahan was just quicker so she got a punch
in first.

As far as this sort of thing happening in a physical
game like basketball, maybe it happens in Buffalo
State games, but not Albany State games. Warner’s
reaction to the incident was that she was ‘kind of sick
about it.’

“We played a nice basketball game,” said Warner.
“Buffalo played an exceptional ballgame. It was un-
fortunate that it ended that way.”

Warner said her team did exactly what they wanted
to. They were trying to draw fouls, have people on the
Buffalo State team foul out, and get technicals called
against the Bengals. All of that occured, but the Danes
didn’t capitalize on it.

“Buffalo State beat us on the court pure and simple.
If we had lost the right way it would be fine,” said
Warner. “I hate losing that way, they stooped really
low. They’ve got a great ball club and then they don’t
have to resort to that.””

Maloney’s flip attitude about the altercation was
probably because she’s used to it. Marty Morahan, the
Editor-in-Chief of the Buffalo State Record, who also
writes sports, said the team has had players thrown out
of two or three other games. He cited-a Cortland game
two weeks ago when Williams hit an opponent in the
back of the head.

Just looking at the personal foul totals for each
team, a difference is evident. In the preliminary round
of the SUNYAC’s Albany committed 13 fouls to
Geneseo’s 9. But in the Buffalo-Cortland game, the
Bengals had 24 while the Dragons had 23. Three
players fould out of that game, one was from Buffalo
State. In the championship game a total of 49 fouls
were committed, more than twice as many as in
Albany’s game the previous night. Two Buffalo players
fouled out in the title game.

Throughout the game, Albany players knocked
down or fouling a Bengal would pat them on the back
or help them up, that’s sportsmanship.

The Danes had even known what to expect after a
similar game when they faced Buffalo State last year in
the SUNYAC championships. “‘It just happened we
didn’t go there intending to do anything,”’ said Lesane.
“Buffalo State—that’s the type of team they are. They
threw a cheap shot. There’s no reason for that.””

By winning their third straight SUNYAC champion-
ship, The Bengals recieved the automatic bid to the
NCAAs that, goes hand in hand with the title. There
were rumors over the weekend that Buffalo State
would host the NCAA regional this weekend and that
the Danes also had a good chance at a berth in the
tournament.

After the game many of the Danes felt that the
season was over already and they didn’t want to return
to Buffalo in a week.

“If I had gone around to all the players after the
game that night,’’ said Warner. ‘‘A lot of them would
have said let’s finish the season that night.’’

The Danes had worked all season looking ahead ot
getting the NCAA bid they felt they deserved last year.
One day after the Danes went through the biggest
nightmare of the season, their dream for the NCAAs
came true.

Albany will be seeded third in the NCAA East
regional to be held this. weekend. The best news of all
was where the tournament would be hosted. The choice
was New York University instead of the predicted Buf-
falo State site. According to Warner it’s a much better
facility than the Bengal’s gymnasium.

“Tf this is down at NYU its going to be a 100 percent
better tournament.”’ said Warner.

Inthe first round, the Danes face second-seeded Col-
umbia, 20-5, a team that beat Albany by one point arid
handed one of the first two losses-of the season before
the Danes went ona 24 game winning streak. The first

“The Columbia game in the first round will be
great,” said Warner. ‘This is a real milestone for us.
The NCAAs is a first ever for us.””

Sophomore Maureen McBride said, “I was Teally
glad when I heard where it was. I’m happy it’s at NYU
than at Buffalo. The NCAA is what we wanted to do.
Even though we didn’t win the SUNYACS it gives us
another chance. This is giving us a new hope.””

Only a few days after the Buffalo nightmare, the
Danes may still be a little down on continuing their
season.

“There was no question I was feeling it too,” said
Warner. “You just wanted to pack it up. I was in-
furiated about what happened. That’s just typical emo-
tions. We can’t let it bother us if we do let that carry
over to this tournament then Buffalo State defeated us
Not just once but twice.”

Lesane, a senior, was pleased with the news of this
weekend. She wanted to go back to Buffalo and beat
them on their home court.

“T’m glad because it’s a terrible gym (Buffalo) as
ong as we play somewhere on a neutral court it’s O.K.,
said Lesane “We're all happy.”

Even though the Danes lost the SUNYACs they got
the bid to the NCAAs that they truly deserved. Buffalo
State may have won the ball game, but the Danes were
the real winners with a winning attitude and
sportsmanship.

It would have been a shame if they would have had
to go back and play in Buffalo. A team like Buffalo
doesn’t deserve to host such a tournament.

Next weekend the Danes will get their chance to pro-

By Robert Farber

The ski season is well underway. Living
in the capital district is a plus due to the
great location of Albany and overall
closeness to all the mountains. All these
choices can create a problem.

If you’re an advanced skier most pro-
bably you have your own particular
favorites, and this information won’t app-
ly. If you’re a novice, intermediate, or
even an advanced skier with no special
favorites, pay close attention because this
guide may help to influence your decisions
hence forward.

There are many terrific ski resorts to
choose from be it in the New York, Ver-
mont, Connecticut, Massachusettes areas,
and all are not that far away.

In the New York area: Hunter,
Whiteface, Bellayre, Catamount, Gore,
Greak Peek, Windham, and West are
among the best.

In Vermont: Magic Mountain,
Bromley, Killington, Mt. Snow, Smug-
glers’ Notch, Stowe, Stratton and Sugar
bush, are among the finest.

In Connecticut: Mohawk, Powder
Ridge, and Sundown are all okay. In
Mass.: Brodie, Butternut, and Jiminy
Peak are all decent mountains.

Due to the vast amount of resorts, we
will narrow the ratings to the six best
(favorites) in the area.

The mountains will be judged on; level
of difficulty, can the slopes suit the novice
thru the expert levels. The skill of the ski
school; instructors at the mountain,
snowmaking facilities average crowd at the
mountain, vertical slope, number of lifts,
number of trails, special attractions, and
lift ticket fees.

Hunter Mountain Ski Bowl
Hunter Mountain has the reputation as
being a very crowded, over-rated resort
that New Yorkers flock to because of its

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1986 (1) ALBANY STUDENT PRESS Spo rts 21

Area slopes accomodate skiers of all abilities

singles population. If you can get there
during the week days, you can enjoy a fan-
tastic day of skiing because crowds tend to
be light.

Hunter offers excellent, reliable condi-
tions created by total snowmaking
coverage of all trails and constant neat
grooming.

The slopes range from very easy begin-
ner to very difficult advanced. Its terrain
varies from very flat and shallow elevation
to extremely ridgid and steep in elevation
offereing a challenge to the best of skiers.
The Hunter Ski School is among the finest
around. If you are a beginner, Hunter is an
excellent place to learn.

Hunter offers a 1,600 foot vertical with
one triple chair, 8 double chairs, one T-
bar, 2 pomus, 1 pony lift, 2 rope tows, all
covering 44 trails and slopes. A one-day
adult lift ticket is $25, with lessons starting
at $20. For further information (518)
263-4223.

Ski Windham

Windham usually attracts Hunter’s
“Seconds’’, especially on the weekends.
Windham is an excellent intermediate
mountain and offers a moderate challenge
for the expert skier.

Their recent expansion increased the
beginner terrain. Now making it a very
good place for beginners.

The only advantage that Windham of-
fers as compared to Hunter, is on the
weekends because of its less crowded
slopes. Windham, again, isn’t a bad
mountain and does offer a challenge for all
levels, but the best times to go are on the
weekends.

As far as snowmaking goes, they offer
95 percent (158 acres) coverage. Win-
dham’s Smokey Bear ski school is average
(again go to Hunter for a lesson). The
mountain offers a 1,550 foot vertical with
three triple chairs, 2 double chairs, and 1

futher information call (518) 734-4300.
Jiminy Peak
Jiminy Peak is located on the border of
New York and Massachusettes and attracts
many skiers from the Albany area.

The mountain is small offering 25 trails
and slopes yet it attracts skiers of all
abilities. It isn’t a good place to learn how
to ski, but offers beginners, with a basic
knowledge of how to ski, a semi-vast array
of slopes and trails.

This mountain doesn’t offer a big
challenge for the expert but one can still
have fun racing down the slopes. If you’re
the type of skier that likes to go skiing at
night, this is the place to go; it’s close, and
there are certain packages that you can ob-
tain for at night on lift tickets.

82 percent (85 acres) snowmaking
coverage can be found at Jiminy with a
1,180 foot vertical and 1 triple chair, 3
double chairs, and 1 rope tow. A 1 day
adult lift ticket is $25 and lessons start at
$10. For more information call (413)
738-5431.

Gore Mountain

Gore is a very underrated mountain
located in the central adirondacks.

Many beginner skiers haven’t discovered
this excellent mountain, for it has outstan-
ding beginner accomodations as well as be-
ing one of the first choices of expert and
intermediae skiers. This mountain has one
of the biggest verticals in the east and
shouldn’t be neglected. Gore offers a very
fine ski school and offers very fair lift
ticket rates.

Lift ticket rates are $21 a day and
lessons start at $12. Gore now offers more
than 52 percent snowmaking on its trails,
with a vertical of 2,100 feet, all of which is
well kept by their fleet of bobcats.

There are always plenty of moguls for

slopes with steep drops. Gore offers 41
trails and slopes with one gondala, | triple
chair, 4 double chairs, 1 T-Bar, 1 J-Bar.

The montain is crowded but the lift lines
move fast. This resort is a must for all in-
termediate and expert skiers. For more in-
formation call (518) 251-2612.

Killington

Killington is by far the biggest ski resort
in the east. Skiers from New York to
Boston pack this place in. Killington offers
six mountains with varying levels of dif-
ficulty on each, and is the target of many
skiing enthusiasts. This resort will meet the
needs of the beginner while giving the best
advanced skier a run for his money.

A main attraction at the slopes is a 10
mile novice run from the top of the moun-
tain. 60 out of 100 trails are covered by
snowmaking.

Killington’s 3,160 foot vertical is
covered with 1 gondola, 3 quad chairs, 4
triple chairs, 7 double chairs, and 2 pomas.
When you think about how much Kill-
ington has to offer, a $27 lift ticket is a fair
price to pay even though you might have to
wait a few minutes to get on the lift. For
more information call (802) 422-3333.

Mt. Snow

Mt. Snow offers plenty of top quality
skiing for all levels.

The mountain usually isn’t very crowd-
ed, which paves the way for some serious
skiing. 80 percent of the 1,700 foot moun-
tain, is snowmaking cupable with 1 gon-
dala, 5 triple chairs, 6 double chairs, and 1
rope tow. The price of a lift ticket is $28
and-is reasonable considering that snow
really provides a challenging terrain for all
levels.

has been an avid skier in the Northeast for
the past 10 years.

Albany gymnasts take on Division | Vermont

By Michael Bruno
STAFF WRITER

The Albany State women gymnasts have
peaked. Last Saturday’s crowd witnessed
the Danes score, a season high of 155.6
points, as they defeated City College, and
Coney Island University who accumulated
48 and 115 points, respectively.

The Danes began the domination of this
meet on the vault. Freshman Missy Livent
again dazzled the crowd and opposing
teams with her half on full off vault. Li-
vent showed good pre and after flight and
and a complete twist with a successful lan-
ding to score an 8.7. This mark shatters
her week old school record of 8.55.

Junior captain Sue Leskowitz threw her
handspring front but couldn’t stand up on
the landing. Despite this major break the
judges awarded the flight portions and dif-
ficulty of this vault with an 8.45. Senior
veteran Brenda Armstrong threw another
complete half in full off vault to receive an
8.3. Freshman Barbara Tiess completed
this series of high scores by earning an 8.2
with her half on full off vault.

The next apparatus, the uneven parallel
bars, saw five of the most consistent bar
routines for the gymnasts this year.
Sophomore Karen Vlasaty’s routine in-
cluded a toe on front off dismount to earn
her a season high of 7.05. Junior Leslie
Steckle hit another routine to add a 7.55 to
the team effort. Nora Bellantoni, a Junior,
literally attacked her routine and nailed a
front summi catch and full twisting hecht
dismouont an¢ scored a 7.65. Armstrong,
despite a missed front summi catch, ex-
ecuted a ciean routine for a meet high of

Down by nine, 73-62, with 3:34 left in
the game, the Danes put together one final
burst of energy. They outscored Buffalo
10-1 to pull within three, 75-71.

Mindy McLaughlin sparked the rally by
coming off the bench to gather five quick
rebounds. This allowed the Danes to get
second chance scoring opportunities.

With 1:45 remanining, McLaughlin
hustled after a missed shot by diving to the
floor to keep the ball in play. The ball was
picked up by Bayba who hit a layup and
got fouled. She canned the foul shot to
complete the three point play.

After a steal and two foul shots by
Lesane, the Danes seemed to have the
momentum. However, four free throws by
Buffalo opened the lead back to 6, 78-71.

The game had been very physical from
the opening tip. There was a lot of pushing
and elbowing occuring underneath the
basket. The officials seemed content to let
the contact continue.

With 11 seconds left in the game, an
altercation broke out between four
players, two from each squad.

Albany’s Fernandes and Buffalo’s
Karen O’Callaghan both went to the floor
after a loose ball, there was a lot of kicking
being done by O’Callaghan. Bayba went
over to help break up the altercation.
Williams, of Buffalo, went into the pack
swinging her arms. Both benches im-

high of 7.6. Bailey hit her double salto
‘front tuck back tuck pass and handstand
triple piroutte to score a 7.95. Livent’s
flashy routine included a high and com-
plete jump double full and a full twisting
layout salto to receive an 8.1. Bellantoni
hit her strongest routine of this season with
an arabian back tuck pass, layout, and
whip back pass to score an 8.35 despite a
hop out of bounds. Husak’s clean whip

mediately charged on to the court. Once
order was restored, the officials had
ejected O’Callaghan, Williams and Bayba.

“Tt was an aggressive game,” said
Bayba. “It was the same thing last year.”
Bayba, who received a bloody lower lip,
knew sonething was going to errupt.

“44 (Williams) was nasty throughout
the whole game. You could sort of tell
something was going-to happen. She had
to. be held \back by her teammates
throughout the game,” said Bayba.

“Basketball is a physical game,’’ said
Buffalo State head coach Gail Maloney.

“T'd rather not focus on the fight. ’'m
sorry it happened. That’s the nature of the
game. It happens in basketball. Even in the
NBA you see it. It even happens to Patrick
Ewing,’ concluded Maloney.

The incident took some of the delight
out of a well played ballgame.

Albany State coach Mari Warner com-
plimented the winners. ‘‘They just beat us
on the court. Buffalo played an excep-
tional ballgame. Not until I saw the tape
(of the game) did I realize they played a
good game.”

Warner also indicated that the foul
shooting was a crucial part of the game.
“We learned some things from this
game,”’ said Warner.

Following Fernandes, with 17 points
and LaBombard with 12, was Lesane, with
12 points, also four steals, three assists,

and six rebounds. Cindy Jensen, with 12
points and a game high 10 rebounds.

Tt was the play of Jensen which led
Albany in their opening round game
against Geneseo’s Lady Knights on Friday.
The Danes captured that game by winning
75-56.

Jensen led a pressuring defense that
enabled the Danes to open a 6-0 lead very
early in the game.

Albany’s first half lead expanded to 18
points midway through the period when
LaBombard hit an outside jumper to make
the score, 28-10.

However, Geneseo closed out the last
five minutes by outscoring the Danes 12-2,
making the halftime score 34-24.

The key to the Danes’ first half success
was their ability to handle Geneseo’s 6’1”’
center Sue Lind, who averages 17.6 points
and 8.5 rebounds per game. She was held
to only one basket and two boards in the
first half.

Most of the defensive work on Lind was
performed by Jensen.

The opening six minutes of the second
half belonged to the Danes. The opened up
a 31 point lead by going on a 25-4 tear.

Next up for Albany State is the NCAAs.
They are the third seed in a four team
eastern regional to be held at New York
University. The others are Buffalo State,
first seed, Columbia, second, and NYU,
fourth.

Just when it appeared that the Albany
State skating Danes were fighting only los-
ing battles, dropping their final two league
games, they uncovered their hidden talent
to destroy Le Moyne, 7-2.Sunday.night.at
Binghamton.

The Danes lost to Cortland and Broome
CC before coming back to blow out
LeMoyne.

Albany blew the game open in the se-
cond period. After dominating the game
in the first period but missing many oppor-
tunities, the Danes outscored LeMoyne 5-0
in the second period.

Center Tom Wu scored his first goal of
the season midway through the second
period on a deflection in front of the net.

Albany then replaced goalie Jim
Leskody with Tim Ruggerio, who was call-
ed upon to make several key saves before
left wing Dan Esler put the Danes up 2-0.
Center Dave Dalbec’s feedd from behind

the net set up Esler’s snapshot.

Team President and Co-Captain Rich
Diem continued the scoring for the Danes
as he pushed a face-off back to right
winger Pete Leskody, who hit the goalie in
the head with a snapshot. Diem converted
the rebound for the score.

The first four goals were scored within a
five-minute span. The Danes, playing with
intense forechecking, kept LeMoyne in
their own zone for the last four minutes of
the period.

Defenseman Andy McGowan added a
goal as he scored from the point with a
wristshot that beat the screened goalie.

Albany’s lead ballooned to 5-0 as
defenseman Billy Abrams lofted the puck
out to the center of the ice and Dalbec
streaked down the side, beating the goalie
on a backhanded move.

Albany lapsed in the beginning of the
third period, becoming too offensive-
minded and allowing LeMoyne to score
two goals, narrowing the gap to 5-2.

The Albany State women’s track
team, led by the record-setting perfor-
mances by Winsome Foderingham and
Keely Wilson, finished a respectable
seventh place at the New York State
meet held at Fredonia last Friday and
Saturday.

University of Rochester won the
15-team competition with 93 points,
followed by Cortland’s 67 and Buffalo’s
48. Albany’s 38 points were just five
behind fourth-place Stony Brook.

Foderingham, by winning the
50-meter hurdles and the 200-meter
dash, became the first Dane to ever win
two events at the state meet.

She won the hurdles with a time of
8.66, which broke her own school
record. Her time in the 200 meters was

“We had a lot of opportunities, but we

The Dane’s inconsistent play is ‘still a

“One weekend we have our best game of
the season against Binghamton and this
weekend we played awful,’’ said Diem,
“‘We just can’t figure out why we’re so

Women earn first ever NCAA berth

By Paul Lander
STAFF WRITER

The Albany State women’s basketball
team’s dream of the SUNYAC tournament
championship was shattered for the second
straight year by tournament host the Buf-
falo State Bengals. The Danes were
defeated, 80-73, Saturday night in a very
physical championship game.

Prior to this loss, Albany State had won
24 consecutive games. Their losses were
back in November during their season
opening tournament in’ Eastern Con-
heticut. This 24-3 record earned them the
first ever NCAA bid.

The key to Buffalo State’s victory was
the hot shooting hand of the entire team.
They shot 57 percent from the floor (31 for
54 shots).

The downfall for the Danes was their in-
ability to hit their foul shots down the
stretch. They hit 17 of 28 free throws for
61 percent.

Down by 10 with about four minutes left
in the game, the Danes hadd a chance to
close in. However, four misses, including a
technical shot, from the charity stripe
prevented them from deflating Buffalo’s
lead.

“We lost on foul shots,” said all-
tournament team selection Diane Fer-
nandes. ‘We usually shoot in the 70’s.
You have to make them in a close game.
We just didn’t do that tonight.”

Buffalo did their damage in spurts.

Despite losing in the finals of the
SUNYAC tournament to Buffalo State,
the Albany women cagers’ 24-3 record
eamed them third seed in the NCAA
East regional to be held at NYU.

After the Danes had taken an early 8-6
lead, the Bengals went on a 14-2 run to
give them the lead 19-10. This would be a
lead they would never relinquish. The run
was led by tournament most valuable
player Bridgett Howard. She scored six of

her 16 points during this spurt which con-
sumed 4:23 off the clock.

Buffalo’s lead reached 12 points with

Adam Urspung’s long jumper with five seconds left
bounced off the rim, and the ensuing scramble under the
basket resulted in Mike Cinque fouling Buffalo State’s
Rick Link. Link Missed the front end of the one-and-one,
but the Danes couldn’t get a shot off in the remaining two
seconds and lost, 66-64.

The loss prevented Albany from facing Potsdam in the
SUNYAC final on Saturday and also ended the Danes’
hopes of entering this year’s NCAA tournament.

Buffalo State went on to lose in the final, 77-59, to
Potsdam, who earlier demolished Oswego. Potsdam
takes a 27-0 record into the NCAAs.

All that remains for 17-8 Albany is a berth in the eight-
team ECAC tournament that features teams from around
‘New York State.

“‘We really wanted to make the NCAAs,” said a weary
Urspung after Thursday’s SUNYAC elimination at the
hands of the Bengals. ‘‘We have to play for pride now.””

Even though Albany State was downed in the
preliminary round, Ursprung was still named to the All-
Tournament team. Despite playing with a nagging illness,
the 6’4”’ junior forward from Catskill was the high scorer
for the Great Danes with 15 points, including seven of
eight free throws. He led all rebounders in the game with
10.

According to Albany State head coach Dick Sauers, the
Danes had already declared that they would particigags im
the ECACs should they lose to Buffalo State in the opm
ing round of the SUNYACs.

The. ECAC format dictated that Albany fans will be
able to see the Danes at home at least once more. Albany
is seeded fourth among the eight teams, behind Hartwick,
Hamilton, and Ithaca. They will take on fifth-seeded
Utica Tech at University Gym on Saturday, March 1 at
8:00 p.m. All games in the tournament are to played at
the home site of whichever team is seeded higher.

Each of the three teams seeded higher than Albany has
already defeated the Danes this year. Number one Hart-
wick beat Albany December 14 and second-seed
Hamilton won January 15 over the Danes, both losses
coming at Univerity Gym. The Danes lost, 62-61, at
Ithaca two weeks ago.

The second round will take place on Wednesday,

As Albany State guard Rainny Lesane brought the
ball down court one minute into the SUNYAC Cham-
pionship game against the Buffalo State Bengals,
number forty-four for Buffalo Kindle Williams threw
one of her elbows into Lesane’s jaw. The referees call-
ed the foul, while Lesane rubbed her. cheek and rolled
her eyes. It was going to be one of:
those nights.

“I looked at her and thought of
what I could have done, but then I
thought about Coach (Mari) Warner
and the team, ”’ said Lesann. “‘I gave
her the look to let her know that I wouldn’t let her dare
to do it again. If I didn’t do anything she’d think to
herself ‘Hit her again; she won’t do anything.’ Last
year she did the same thing right after coming in to the
game off the bench.”

This incident would set the tempo for the rest of the
game. The tension caused by the two teams pushing
and shoving for better positions under the boards built
‘up until it errupted into a bench-clearing fight with 11
seconds remaining in the game.

Another incident occured on a Dane fastbreak. With
Lesane breaking down court, one of the Bengals
hounded her the whole trip down and finally prevented
the lay up, not by the usual hand-in-the-face method,
but by practically tackling her.

Even though this extremely physical game wasn’t
what the Danes were used to, they handled it well. And
they kept themselves in the game despite trailing 40-31
at halftime. But by the time the fight broke out, the
Bengals already had the game in the bag. "

Exactly what happened is hard to tell because it all
happened so quickly. The fight was initiated when
Albany’s Diane Fernandes went after a loose ball and
got tied up with Buffalo’s Karen O’Callahan. While
the referees called a jump ball, O’Callohan hit Bayba
as Williams, arms flailing, hit her in the mouth. As the
team members and coaches flew onto the court, Bayba
