Students rally with pro-choice advocates in DC

By Patti Martino
STAFF WRITER

Shouting “Albany one voice, Albany
pro-choice,” SUNYA students joined tens
of thousands of people in the nation’s
capital Sunday to rally on behalf of
abortion rights.

Daniella Korotzer.of SUNYA’s Students
for Choice, said she was not surprised by
Albany student turn-out, which she
estimated at 320. “If we had more money
from the Student Association we could
definitely have had more buses. That was
really disappointing,” she said.

Korotzer said it was important for
students to come to Sunday’s march
because the pro-choice issue is a student
issue.

“The groups most strongly hit by this
are students and other economically
disadvantaged groups (such as) African-
Americans, Latinos and people of color in
general. That’s why we have to come out
and show Bush’s Supreme Court that
we're not going to let them take away our
Tight to choose,” Korotzer said.

SUNYA students became a part of a
crowd estimated by rally organizers at
300,000, which began at the steps of the

participants cheered and applauded as
they listened to politicians and other
speakers pledge to uphold Roe v. Wade
which was challenged before the
Supreme Court in July.

In Webster v. Missouri Reproductive
Health Services, the Supreme Court
upheld a Missouri law which gives states
the power to restrict abortions.

National Organization for Women
President Molly Yard, from the steps of
the Lincoln Memorial, said she hoped the
tally would send a clear message “to the
political leaders of this country, to the
Supreme Court and particularly to
President Bush. We will not go back.”

Speakers celebrated recent abortion
rights victories in last week’s

gubernatorial elections in Virginia and
New Jersey and vowed to increase their
efforts in elections to come.

Elizabeth Holtzman, Brooklyn District
Attorney and Comptroller-elect, of New
York City said “We are here today to
announce that in every county, in every
city, in every state, in every election we
will work to defeat those who oppose us
and as last Tuesday’s election results
show we will succeed. We will say no to
those who say no to us.”

Speakers also criticized President
George Bush and and his recent veto of 2
major spending bills in recent weeks.
Bush vetoed the bills because they would
expand public financing of abortion.

Mayor-elect David Dinkins of New
York City said, “We call upon President
Bush in the strongest possible terms to
reverse his vetoes and to restore federal
funding of abortions for poor women. We
in New York believe that access to health
care must never be blocked by those who
hold other convictions.”

Dinkins, who was elected last Tuesday
on a Pro-choice platform, promised that
New York City “would preserve full
public funding for abortion even if it

expresses support at rally

By Beth Kirschner

New York city mayor-elect David Dinkins addressed a crowd
of about 250,000 at the National Oraganization for Women
(NOW) pro-choice rally in Washington, D.C. Sunday.

Dinkins, introduced to the ralliers by Molly Yard, president of
NOW, congratulated Virginia, New Jersey and New York City
for electing Pro-choice advocates in recent elections.

“The votes of Virginia, New Jersey and New York City were a
powerful statement about the health and well-being of this
nation’s democracy...the people voted and were heard, and the
people said ‘we believe in choice, we believe in liberty and we
will never be denied,” Dinkins said.

He continued, referring to himself as a “long-time foot soldier
of America’s conscience.”

“I come to you today from the grass roots of America’s largest
city, to say that New York will always protect a woman’s right to
choose. The right to choose is a right of all, not just the wealthy.”

Dinkins called upon President Bush to reverse his vetoes and
restore funding for abortion. If federal funds are not made
available, Dinkins said that he will work to have abortions
funded by the City.

“I have been a long time supporter and advocate of quality
health care for all women, regardless of their ability to pay,” he
said.

Throughout his speech, Dinkins reiterated the importance of
health and child care of both rich and poor wormen. “We must
continue to fight to keep abortion legal, affordable and safe for

all women, but we must also include in that struggle the right of
all women to have access to health care, child care, education,
and jobs.”

Dinkins warmed the ralliers never to underestimate the passion
of one’s opponents or overestimate the power of one’s positoin.
He said although reproductive rights are presently in the political
arena, this is the time to redouble the efforts to organize, to reach
out and build up the cause.

The mayor-elect concluded by expressing the great importance
of reaching out to all groups in order to strengthen the pro-choice
position.

“As important as it is in politics to have a constuency, it is no
substitute for coalition, inclusion and unity,” he said,

SUNY becoming more selective

Albany,
(AP) Ata time when colleges are
competing for a dwindling
number of high school graduates,
the State University of New York
is seeing more applications and
is admitting better-qualified
students.

That’s the good news.

And, some critics charge, it’s
also the bad news. A public
university that’s becoming
increasingly ‘selective is
defeating the purpose of a public
institution, they say.

Such heightened selectivity
has been forced on the nation’s
largest university system, in part,
because state budget problems
have promoted the system to
hold the line, or even reduce,
admissions at its schools.

That’s something high school
seniors are realizing this month
as they talk to their high school
guidance counselors and begin
filling out college applications.

But SUNY Chancellor D.
Bruce Johnstone said last month
that the university, for the first
time in several years, will ask
state officials to pay for an
increase in enrollment. If trends
continue, he said the university
could expect some “heavy
numbers” of new students in the
next decade.

The state university is becoming
more popular because prices,
once inflation is considered, are
going down and quality is going
up, said SUNY officials. Tuition
for New York students entering
SUNY has been $1,350 per year

since 1983, while private school
costs can be 10 times that or
more,

Nine years ago, 30 of every
100 high school graduates in
New York state applied to at
least one school in the 64
campus SUNY system. By this
fall, that number increased to 39
out of 100, the university said.

Meanwhile, SUNY’s
enrollment has only increased by
17,000, to just under 390,000
students, this decade. So it stands
to reason that getting into SUNY
schools is tougher than it used to
be.
Statistics bear this out. At 14
of the university’s 17 four-year
arts and sciences schools for
which statistics were available,
the mean high school average of
entering freshmen went up
between 1988 and 1989, SUNY
officials said. The only exception
was the SUNY-Albany
university center.

The improvement in
Scholastic Aptitude Test scores
is even more striking. The
combined average SAT scores
are up at 12 of the 13 schools for
which scores are available, with
SUNY-Potsdam the only
exception. In Plattsburgh, for
example, the average combined
SAT score shot up from 960 last
year to 1,043 this year. School
officials emphasize these are
only averages, and many
students with lower scores are
admitted.

“We're dealing with a stronger
academic student - a'student who

was not applying to the
university five years ago,” said
David Truax, Suny’s associated
vice chancellor for access
services.

Many people in the Northeast
who have always believed
private universities are better
than the public ones have taken a
second look at SUNY and like
what they see, said Fred Brooks,
assistant vice president for
enrollment at SUNY-
Binghamton.

Binghamton, with strong
Management and liberal arts
programs, is one of SUNY’s
most selective schools. IN 1985,
it accepted about half of its
11,300 applicants. Last year,
Binghamton admitted a little
more than a third of 16,000
applicants, Brooks said.

Fighting intensifies

San Salvador, El Salvador

(AP) Leftist rebels launched their
biggest offensive in San Salvador in the
10-year-old civil war, battling troops in
fighting in which at least 127 people were
killed, the military said Sunday.

President Alfredo Cristiani declared a
curfew and state of siege. Cristiani’s
official residence was among the targets
of the rebels’ offensive, launched
Saturday night. He was at his private
home and was not hurt.

Hospitals reported at least 197 people
were wounded in the offensive, which
continued Sunday.

The armed forces press office said 26
soldiers had been killed and 65. wounded.
Guerrilla deaths totaled 93 and 55 were
wounded, it said. Rebels gave no figures
on their own casualties.

Voters ignore threat

Lima, Peru

(AP) Thousands of Peruvians defied
rebel threats and voted Sunday in mayoral
elections. Maoist guerrillas trying to
disrupt the balloting killed a candidate and
blew up a church and a school.

Polls opened at 8 a.m. and were to close
at 3 p.m., but they were kept open another
two hours in Lima because of the lines of
people waiting to cast ballots. voting was
slower in the Andean highlands, where a
rebel-decreed strike paralyzed public
transportation.

An exit poll commissioned by television
Channel 5 showed Ricardo Belmont, a
political independent, the clear winner in
Lima’s mayoral race with 49.6 percent of
the vote.

Ships collide

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

(AP) A U.S. Navy destroyer and a 428-
foot merchant ship were limping toward
Singapore on Monday after a collision off
Malaysia killed one Navy crewman and
injured four others, a Navy spokesman
said.

The USS Kinkaid was bound from the
Indian Ocean to Singapore for a visit
early Sunday when it collided with the
428-foot Singaporean tanker Kota Petani
in the Malacca Strait, 240 miles northwest
of Singapore, said Lt. Cmor. Bob
Anderson, a spokesman for the Pacific
Fleet headquarters at Pearl Harbor.

The predawn collision tore a 15-by-56-
foot hole above the waterline on the right
side of the 563-foot destroyer, Anderson
said.

The Kota Petani sustained major
damage to its bow, but there were no
injuries reported on the merchant ship, he
said. There was no information yet on the

contents of the tanker or any leaks, he
added.

Bush wants reform

Washington

(AP) President Bush, praised by the
Soviets as “a real statesman” for his
response to the opening of the Berlin
Wall, wants to encourage reform in
Eastern Europe without promoting
instability, his secretary of state says.

The Bush administration is still
weighing a reply to a message from
Soviet President Mikhail S$. Gorbachev
backing the changes made by East
Germany’s new leaders and expressing
hope that the situation will remain
peaceful.

Tonight, Bush will present Lech Walesa
with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in
a White House ceremony. Walesa is the
Solidarity leader whose labor movement
propelled Poland into the vanguard of the
shift toward democracy in the communist
East Bloc.

By-election to determine SA vice presidency

By Tom Marsh and Irene Wouk

The Student Association will
be holding a by-election for the
office of vice president on Nov.
20 and 21.

Currently running for the
position are Paul Faulhaber, Ron
Halber, Mikey Green, Scott P.
Trent, and Giovanni Serna.

Beth Zuckerman, Shawn
Thompson, James Iniguez,
Guillermo Martinez and Jake
Walthour had also submitted
self-nominations, but have since
withdrawn from the race.

Zuckerman, a senior, said she
dropped her name from the
ballot because she didn’t realize
what she was leaving behind. “I
was already effective in what I
was doing. I didn’t want to take
away from all that I was already
involved in,” she said.

Zuckerman said she wouldn’t
have left the race if she didn’t
know there was at least one
candidate who was capable of
performing the job. “Paul
Faulhaber has my full support”
she said.

Green, 20, a Junior, said he
thinks that many things could be
improved within SA in order to
give it more power and make it
more accessible to students.

Green is a Student Association
of State University Delegate, Co-
Chairman of the Students for
Choice, is on the UAS Board of
Directors, Co-Editor of the
Student Voice and is an Eagle
Scout involved with the Boy

Scouts on a regional level which
he said demonstrates his
leadership qualities.

Green also said he has
organizational skills that he can
bring to the job and fresh new
ideas, including networking.

“T have connections with other
colleges and I can get in touch
with them and see what works

“Randi Panich UPS
Mikey Green

for them and what doesn’t work
for them and utilize that
information here,” he said.

Green made it clear that he is
involved with a lot of groups on
campus and said that he’d like to
avoid bringing those influences
into the vice president job. He
also said that he can handle the
added responsibilities of the
position.

Green said he would
like SA to take a more active role
towards safety on campus and

the problems of sexual and bias
abuse on campus that go
unreported, not only here but
throughout the country.

“T strongly feel students have
been the silent majority and they
should be heard, not just
ignored.” He also encourages
people to come down to SA’s
Campus Center offices to discuss

Ron Halber

problems and hopefully work out
solutions.

Trent, 21, a senior, said that the
Student Association (SA) isn’t
working for the students the way
it should. He said his viewpoints
and ideas would be beneficial for
SA.

Trent, who is presently vice
chairman of the College
Republicans and a supporter of
pro-life, said he backs unpopular
views but he feels he can keep an
open mind and that his

individualism will permit him not
to be swayed by his opinions. He
said he wants to foster
individuality.

“T think that in the post the SA
has been largely a victim of ego
but recently, with Guillermo
(Martinez, SA Media Director),
the head of the Student Voice,
that has changed. I’d like that

a

John Cienki UPS
Scott Trent

change to be permanent.”

Ron Halber, 21, a senior, said
he has a desire to improve
services through SA and he
wants the student body to be
more aware of the facilities that
they offer.

Halber was vice chairman of
the Undergraduate Academic of
the University Senate and the
leader and founder of the Albany
Israel Public Affairs Committee.
He said the experience of
founding and maintaining an

organization gives him excellent
leadership and organizational
skills.

He said he feels he can act as a
type of consultant on how to start
a group and teach groups to help
themselves.

Halber said he is also
concemed with the breakdown of
tace relations and wants an
Interethnic Dialogue Committee
that will create a positive and
conducive climate as part of the
“Just Community” program. he
also supports the directives of
Affirmative Action.

Halber would also like to see
the Media Office utilized to its
fullest potential; turning out an
alternative paper, adopting a
resume service and publishing a
magazine in which the various
groups on campus would submit
an events calender to give
students a way of finding out
what's available to them, without
having to rely on the podium or
finding out but chance,

“The equipment they use now
should be replaced. it is
outmoded and outdated,” Halber
said.

“I want to emphasize the
qualities of the office; that it is an
administrative position, and it
should be behind the scenes,” he
said.

Halber also stated that he has
experience in programming and
wants to see additional events
such as cultural events that

SUNYA students celebrate Black Solidarity week

By Stephanie Orenge
STAFF WRITER

African-American students and
members of the university community
honored themselves as people during
Black Solidarity week, held Nov. 6 to 10.

The event is traditionally held annually
the day before Election Day. However,
SUNYA students extended the celebration
for a full week.

SUNYA Minority Affairs Coordinator
Torina Armstrong said in regard to what
she saw as a needed increased in Black
owned businesses, “You invest in each
other.” %

The week opened Monday with a
‘Tribute to Black Authors” in the
Performing Arts Center Main Theater.

English professor Barbara McCaskill
began the ceremony by urging the
audience to “cast aside the walls built by
terror and time.,.claim all of Africa’s
people as our own.”

Students followed with readings of
poems, excerpts, and monologues by
black writers and with a skit portraying
images of Black women,

Senior and English major Marvin
Sanders called the evening “superb.” He
also praised an African-American
Literature class he attends this semester,
and said he plans to take Twentieth
Century Black Women Writers this spring.
Both are taught by professor McCaskill.

He said the specialized courses give
African American students the sense of
having a literature of their own to study in
addition to, and at the same time, with
European-centered writings.

Novelist, journalist and critic John
Williams discussed “The Politics of
Exclusion” Wednesday in the Campus
Center Assembly Hall.

During a question and answer session,

Williams said that there must be a change
in curriculums at colleges and universities
if they are to survive as academic
institutions.

He opposed the formation of African-
American Studies departments, calling
them “separate and vulnerable.” He said
he would prefer that courses taught within
them be incorporated into the more
traditional departments, such as History
and Political Science.

Williams criticized those black students
who tell their academically achieving
friends that by doing well and working
within “the system,” they act more
“white” than “black.”

Williams said everyone at an academic
institution should be there to get an
education, but that does not mean not
speaking up for one’s beliefs. “You can
work within the system without being an
Aunt Jemima,” he said.

When asked about self-hatred among
black students, Williams said that such
feelings are found in all ethnic groups,
and many young people go through
periods of having them.

Concerning self-pride, Armstrong
said,” You have to every day celebrate
your life and your existence, and I’m not
just talking about people amongst the
black community. I’m talking about
people as a whole. You just have to
continue to be aware and celebrate
ourselves, our existence, our culture.”

Armstrong and SUNYA African
Students Association Vice President
Theresa Williams agreed that the idea of
solidarity will embrace everyone if each
of us has a desire to know about peoples
and cultures different from one’s own.
Black Solidarity Week is an opportunity
to learn and to teach. 3

“Like they say, education is the key,

and especially on this campus, people need
education, not just in academics, but in
people,” she said.

Williams reported a great response to the
week overall, by many types of people.

Scheduled events were John Williams’
speeches, “The Politics of Exclusion” and
“Whose Literature? Who’s in It,” and the
Tribute to Black Authors, during which
Williams read an original poem entitled
“Wake Up!”

Tuesday was set aside as “A Day of
Reflection,” when everyone was asked to
wear red, black, and green, three colors
common in African and Caribbean

national flags.

Waldaba Stewart, guest speaker,
discussed “The Truth About Panama”
Wednesday. There was a poetry recital by
Dr. Leonard Slade, Chair of the African-
American Studies Department, Thursday.
Dinizulu and his African Dancers,
Drummers, and Singers performed that
same day. Friday, Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority held a party and fashion show.

Although he was reluctant to comment while the appeal is in progress, he repeated
that he was willing to discuss the matter with the students involved.

In response to the students’ claims that the meeting with Doug Samuels, Colonial
Quad Coordinator, was in vain, Samuels disagreed. “Since I do not have the files I

Washington, D.C.

The 14 million member
American Federation of Labor
Congress of Industrialized
Organizations is expected to
launch a major campaign to boost
the nation’s health-care system at
their biennial convention this
week,

The AFL-CIO, representing
nearly 20 percent of the nation’s
workforce including the New
York State University Teachers
and United University
Professions said rising costs are
putting health-care out of reach
of those even with insurance
policies.

expected to propose federal
legislation that would not only
make health-care more
affordable, but also provide
easier access for traditionally
disadvantaged laborers to health-
care as well as provide better
information sources to doctors
and consumers.

An AFL-CIO statement said in
1986 it was estimated that 35
million Americans were without
health-care and by the year 2000
current spendings could reach
$1.5 trillion.

“A total of $125 billion (of the
current health-care package)
could be freed up to improve
access and hold down costs for
those who are insured,” the

statement said,”providing access
to prenatal care to women who
could not afford it (and) well-
baby care for families...that find
the cost of regular check-ups and
routine injections for their
children out of reach.”
Child Care Agenda

Although the health-care
proposal is high on the
convention agenda, nearly 900
delegates from across the nation
will cast their ballots for scores of
other issues affecting workers,
especially at the university level.

The AFL-CIO will vote on a
platform to also improve the
nation’s child-care system, which
it said is “limited in supply,
costly, and of drastically uneven
quality.”

At SUNYA the Pierce Hall
Day-care Center, located on the
Alumni campus, is the only
available child-care facility and is
privately funded.

The labor movement, which
includes most of SUNYA’s
employees and has _ long
advocated uniform-high standards
for child-care, said many facility
workers go unlicensed, untrained
and are underpaid.

The AFL-CIO proposes federal
legislation that will make child-
care a “recognized benefit and a
right of employment.”

Walesa visits

The labor congress will vote on
hundreds of other platforms from
abortion to strikes, acting under

AFL-CIO to focus on health care

the focus: “Solidarity at home
and throughout the world,” the
convention theme.

Organizers said one of the
highlights this year is the first-
ever appearance of Polish
Solidarity leader Lech Walesa
and other labor movement
leaders in the United States.

The AFL-CIO awarded the
Polish Solidarity Party the
George Meany Human Rights
Award in 1981, but Walesa’s
fears that he would not be
allowed back into Poland ,
prevented him from visiting the
United States , until the
Solidarity Party gained political
leadership earlier this year.

Walesa will speak to
convention delegates today and
plans to meet with AFL-CIO
president Lane Kirkland about
union-to-union assistance.

Walesa received the
presidential medal of freedom at
the White House last night.

Strikes Recognized

The appearance of legislative
leaders like House’ of
Representatives Speaker Thomas
Foley (B-WA) and international
political figures has not
overshadowed the current plight
of striking workers in conflict
with their employers. In fact
union leaders have broadened the
issue, making local sanctions a
concern for all unionized workers
at the convention.

New contract proposal
may end NYNEX< strike

Washington
(AP) NYNEX Corp. and its two unions have reached agreement
of the framework of a new contract that could end a bitter 100-
day strike, the president of one of the unions said Monday.
Morton Bahr, president of the Communications Workers of
America, said a formal announcement would be made later in the
day in NYNEX’s home state of New York.

NYNEX, through its subsidiaries New York Telephone and
New England Telephone, provides phone service in most of the
Northeast.

CWA, representing 40,000 NYNEX workers, and the
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which bargains
for an additional 20,000 employees, struck the company more
than three months ago, resisting its attempt to shift health
insurance costs to workers.

Bahr said the unions had successfully fought off those attempts
in reaching agreement on the company-wide aspects of the
contract. Bahr, in an announcement to the AFL-CIO convention
here, said local issues remained to be resolved but said the strike
should be over in a week and the strikers back to work next
Monday.

He did not provide details of the framework but the
telecommunications workers traditionally negotiate three-year
contracts.

“We have saved our health care,’ Bahr said. “There are no
premiums.”

In Boston, a spokesman for New England Telephone, Peter
Cronin, confirmed that “a tentative agreement has been reached
with the IBEW.”

He refused to discuss details, but one IBEW member, Stephen
St. Peter, said in Boston that the contract, in addition to fully
company-paid health benefits, provides for a 3 percent salary hike
in the first year and 1.5 percent raises in the second and third
years in addition to a cost-of-living increase of 2.5 to 5 percent.
Bahr said he had returned to Washington Monday morning from a
negotiating session that began Sunday morning and had
concluded with the agreement on the company-wide framework.
Still to be resolved are local issues such as specific job titles and
work rules at the NYNEX subsidiaries.

Students Win Awards

SUNYA students received three of six
national awards given by the American
Meteorological Society this year, the
University said.

Maribeth Stolzenburg, from West
Bere, won the first place Father James
B. Macelwane Award for her research
paper on bipolar lightning patterns in
mesoscale storm systems. She was
awarded $300 and her paper will be
published in the Bulletin of the American
Meteorologi cal Society.

Gregory Hakim took the second place
Macelwane Award. The Sea Girt, N.J.
native wrote about synoptic-dynamic
meteorology. Haflidi Jonsson, a recent
Ph.D. recipient and post-docotoral fellow
with Prof. Bernard Vonnegut, won first
place in the Robert Leviton Award for
his paper on the development of
instrumentation.

This is the first time that three of the
awards have been won by students from
the same school, the, University said.

Wiffle ball exhibit

Wiffle balls have long been popular with
youngsters because they allow games to
be played in small areas with few people,
and because almost anyone can learn to
throw a mind-boggling curve ball with
them. But perhaps even the hollow ball's
fondest afficianados would be surprised
to see the Wiffle elevated to an art form.
Starting Nov. 27, Russell Sage College
will host an invitational art exhibit called
"The Wiffle Ball Show.” Invited artists
have received one baseball-sized Wiffle
ball, which can be pointed, altered or

embelleshed in any way, but must
ultimately be part of the finisted piece,
the college said in a statement.

The exhibit will be held in the russell
Sage College Gallery in the Schacht Fine
Arts Center at the college's Troy campus.
Gallery house are Monday through
Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30pm and
Sunday from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The
show is free and open to the public.

A reception will be held Friday, Dec. 1
from 5:00 to 8:00pm in the gallery.

Culture week
begins

November 13-17 is Latin American
Culture Week, and event sponsored by
the Department of Residential Life and
Housing.

Each day will represent a different latin
American country.

Monday is Puerto Rican Culture Day.
Events will be held in the Indian Quad
skinroom at 7:00pm.

Tuesday is Dominican Culture Day,

Elections postponed due
to lack of press coverage

(CPS)—The president of the College of
DuPage postponed student government
elections until Nov. 7-9 because he
thought the campus paper didn’t have
time to cover campaign issues thoroughly
enough.

Ken Harris, dean of student affairs at
the Glen Ellyn, Ill. campus and President
Harold McAninch decided to postpone
the elections after Stephanie Jordan,
editor of the DuPage Courier, told
McAninch she was concerned that there
was not enough time to let students know
about the issues.

The voting, normally held the third
week after school begins, was
rescheduled for Nov. 7-9.

“It’s annoying to have the elections
postponed without any say,” said Jeff
Russell, president of the student
government, of McAninch’s novel
experiment in democracy.

“We were infringed upon because of
someone else’s mistake,” Russell said.
“It’s not the job of the student
government to inform. In any election it’s
always the job of the press to advertise
elections. The federal government doesn’t
take out ads in the New York Times
asking people to vote.

“If the student body election was
important enough to postpone, then it

should have been important enough to
cover. I don’t think we’re getting
adequate or fair coverage.”

However, the Courier ran 13 stories
and editorials about the election as well
as several ads in its first four editions of
the school year. It did not report several
ballot issues because student politicians
were still debating the issues’ wording
the day after the weekly paper’s
deadline.

“T’m a student doing the best job that I
can. If they expect me to be like an editor
at the Chicago Sun Times, they are
asking a bit much,” countered Jordan.

“We are a student paper, but there is
more going on than just the student
government,” she said,

Even so, Jordan believes the
postponement isn’t such a bad idea. “It’s
good for us because it gave us time to put
more in the paper, and it’s good for
student government because the students
were more informed,” she said.

“There seems to have been some
rivalry between student government and
the Paper. I don’t know what it is
between the two groups, but there is
always something brewing,” said D.R
Petrizzo, vice president of externa}
affairs at DuPage.

Congress may ban alcohol ads in college papers

(CPS) — College newspapers around the country will
be barred from running alcohol-related ads in their pages
if a new bill introduced in Congress becomes law.

The bill, cosponsored by senators Jesse Bingaman (R-
N.M.) and Herbert Kohl (D-Wis.), cuts off all federal
funding—including student aid—to colleges that fail to
Testrict alcohol promotions on their campuses.

Separately, outgoing U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett
Koop in September sent a letter to all college presidents
urging them to disassociate their schools from liquor-
related promotions, and warning he’d recommend
“economic and legal sanctions” against schools that
ignored him.

The sanctions, however, seem to fall most heavily on
student ventures like sports and newspapers, many of
which depend on revenues from local bars and national
brewers to survive.

Student papers “are right to be concerned,” said
Keenen Peck, an aide to Kohl. “The penalties are so
severe that universities are likely to err on the side of
overcensorship.”

A variety of schools already have started to crack
down. The University of North Dakota, for example, in
September prohibited students from displaying posters
from beer companies in their dorm room windows,

California State University at Chico President Robin
Wilson announced he was forbidding the Orion, the
student paper, to run alcohol-related ads.

Wilson’s directive, Orion ad manager Perry Quinn
estimated, could cost the paper about $30,000 in lost
revenues from local and national liquor ads.

Under the measure now in Congress, virtually all
American college newspapers would face similar
budgetary blows.

“(An anti-alcohol ad law) would hurt us pretty badly,”
said Chris Roth, advertising manager of The Chinook at
Casper College in Wyoming.

Local bars and liquor stores buy about $5,000 worth of
ads a year in the Chinook, representing a third of the
paper’s $15,000 in annual ad revenues. The rest of the
Ppaper’s expenses are met by a $10,000 appropriation from
the college.

Local liquor ads accounted for $7,000—or 14
percent—of the ad revenues earned by the Kansas State
University Collegian in September, faculty adviser Gloria
Freelan reported.

Office coordinator Pat McNamara estimated The
Outlook, the weekly paper at Monmouth College in New
Jersey, gets “probably $2,000 a year in alcohol
advertising.”

A ban would also cause some big campus dailies,
which are paid to insert national magazine supplements
like U. several times a year, to lose money in other ways.

“T would imagine some schools wouldn’t be able to
insert our paper, so it is a concern,” said Annalee Ryan,
operations director for U., which typically includes
several beer company ads in each issue.

Students at The Communique at Kirkland Community
College in Kentucky voluntarily decided to stop
accepting alcohol-related ads this year, costing the paper
about $1,000—or about 10 percent-of its $10,000 a year
in ad revenues.

“In the short run, there’ll be (financial) problems,”
speculated Tom Rolnicki, executive director of the
Associated Collegiate Press, based in Minneapolis, “but
in the long run it'll even out. Eventually...something will
jump in to take the place of the beer ads.”

The big national brewing companies like Anheuser-
Busch and Miller also place ads, worth a total of “maybe
$1 million,” in college papers nationwide during any one
school year, estimated Mark Rose of CASS
‘Communications, a student newspaper ad broker based in
Evanston, Ill.

such revenues would hurt papers, noting the money is
spread among a lot of publications and that the beer ads
Tepresent a small percentage of the $18 million in
national ads the papers get.

To Bingaman, it’s a question of health and safety.

“Three years ago I would have said (the ban) would
have had a tremendous impact” on the papers, Rose said.
Since then, other kinds of advertisers like financial
services, telecommunications and computer companies
have come to provide the bulk of national ads in college
papers.

Nevertheless, Rose blasted the proposal as an
“unnecessary and unfortunate” attack on papers’ First
Amendment freedoms.

“We will never control the use of illicit drugs or the
abuse of alcohol among this age group if we do not take
the fundamental, though perhaps politically unpopular,
step of encouraging colleges and universities to adopt
policies on campus alcohol advertising and alcohol”
industry sponsorship of college activities,” Bingaman
said in a statement defending his measure.

His bill requires schools to provide alcohol counseling
to students, and to bar ads and events that promote
“irresponsible” or underage drinking.

If colleges don’t comply, they could lose all their
federal funding.

“We think (the measure) is like using a sledgehammer
to put a thumbtack into the wall,” said James Sanders of
the Beer Institute, a Washington, D.C., based trade group
for brewers.

College sports programs would be hurt most by the
ban, asserted Stephen Lambright of Anheuser-Busch in
St. Louis. Beer advertising at sporting events “provides
tens of millions of dollars in badly needed revenue every
year to the institutions of higher learning.”

Some campus papers, however, don’t think a ban

Ears of The World on Albany

Those with stars in their eyes
may have been disappointed, but
organizers and participants of the
Albany New Music Expo call the
seminar a success, and promise that
there will be more of the same in the
future.

Richard Crist

The expo featured Dirty Face,
Home, Colourforms, Even the Odd,
doubtingthomas, Blacksmith, and
Private Plain at four area clubs, and
Was designed to promote new, original
local music from all styles, and attract
record and media representatives from
entertainments capitals, mainly from
New York City, to Albany for the two
day event.

Organizers said that they were
initially concerned about turnout at the
two day expo, which ran last
Wednesday and Thursday at four area
clubs and featured top area bands. Dan
Griffin, promoter of area shows, and
owner of Wanga Records, which has
put out records by Mambo-X and Even
the Odd recently, worried that few fans
and record company executives would
show up at the expo.

However, Griffin reports that
several major label executives, along
with representatives of major press
organizations, publishers and
managers turned out for the event,
held at QE2, Justin’s, Bogie’s and
Pauley’s, along with packed houses at
every club both nights.

a thought it was
outstanding,” Griffin said, “that guys

At the very, very least, the

concept was good. Beyond that, I can’t
imagine what anybody saw in the
musical Night Riders that they simply
HAD to revive it this past weekend at
the Egg’s small studio’theater.

Eric Berlin

The concept is this (as taken
directly from the Night Riders playbill):
“The text of Night Riders has been
drawn from taped interviews with
truckers, truckstop waitresses, and
trucker’s wives... Thus, all spoken
parts (including those during musical
sections) are authentic and have not
been altered for this production. The

lyrics, while original, were
extrapolated from these same
interviews.”

But Allen Albert, the writer
and director, and Josh Rubins, the
lyricist, made several mistakes in the
course of realizing their project. Firstly,
truckers, as a general rule, are not
writers. Any of you out there who
think I’m stereotyping should sit
through this play that has been, for all
purposes, written by truck drivers.
While Albert edited it (poorly), it’s still
the truckers doing the talking. The
dialogue, while probably realistic, is
also boring and repetitive. The
material covers everything you’d
expect a play about truckers to cover:
truck stops, lonely wives, CB’s, wacky

in country bands were going to see
pop bands, and guys in pop bands
going to see heavy metal bands not in
a competition sort of way. Everyone
going out to the shows gave great
support, and we need support.”

Griffin said that the expo was
designed with the idea of promoting
area music, rather than falsely giving
bands the hope that they would be
quickly signed after performing for
major label reps.

“Record company reps got to
hear what was going on,” he said, “but
it can take months for a band to get
signed.”

Jim McNeil, music director of
WCDB, one of the forces behind
promoting the expo, agreed with
Griffin’s assertion. But even though no
bands were signed to major labels
deals on the spot (the record industry
equivalent of being spotted on the
soda counter at Schwab’s Drugstore in
Hollywood and signed to a movie deal
that day) the expo did give local music
a brief spotlight.

“It brought attention from
other parts of the country,” McNeil
said, “and created a real buzz. Just ‘
locally, it was a real boost, and a real
boon for local bands.”

Dominic Campagna,
songwriter, vocalist and guitarist for
Dirty Face, one of Albany’s top
contenders for a major label deal, said
that the expo “definitely gave Albany
a little more credibility.”

“But it’s a shame that it took
something special like this to bring
people out,” Campagna added. “It
seems that there is a constant lull in

Convoy o

practical jokes played by truckers on
other truckers. That's about it. A play
about a fairly mundane subject should,
at the very least, bring new
enlightenment to that subject, but
Albert’s play breaks no new ground
into the world of the truck driver.

The second mistake Albert
made was to have all the characters
talk directly to the audience, at all
times. There is no dialogue in this play
at all , which might not be bad under
other circumstances, but here, the end
result is a play that has been drained
completely of.conflict. There could
have been some juicy comedic and
dramatic situations here, but they are
never realized. Complaints about truck
stop food are delivered to the audience
(“Boy, is this food bad”), even though
there is a waitress right behind the
speaking characters who could have
responded or something, thereby giving
us a situation instead of just an
oration. One actress has a monologue
about being a lonely trucker’s wife,
and the material's potential is certainly
there, but, again, there is no conflict,
and all we have is a long, agonizing
monologue. —

The steel-guitar-heavy music
is not much better. I suppose that a
musical about truckers would have to
be packed with country/western
music, but some variety would have
been nice. And the music could have
been forgiven if the lyrics were good,
but at best they are only average, and
at worst (“These yapping CB’s/ give

turnout at shows.”

Campagna, whose band is
near to putting out their second album,
said that he and the band have been in
contact with representatives at major
labels in recent months, but didn’t
expect an appearance at the expo to
result in a big money contract. “It’s
always behind in your minds, but
realistically, we didn’t expect it to
happen.”

“Reps are a little cautious,”
McNeil said. “They aren’t too eager to
sign a band that doesn’t have national
exposure.” McNeil said that label reps

best song in the show, “Nice Talkin’ To

example of what this show could have
been. This funny song is the one place
in the whole show where two
characters, a truck driver and a
talkative hitchhiker, are trying to relate
to each other.

The cast plays a large number
of characters without ever changing
costume or even changing
personalities, leading to some
confusion for the audience. One actor
wears a mechanic’s uniform with
“DON’ sewed on it in big, red letters,
so it came as a surprise to hear other
characters address him as “Bob” and
then just a second later as “Hank.”

alike agreed that the expo more than

exposure and attention for worthwhile
bands in the area. “The end result

McNeil said, “but to get the

truck, but at the end of the play she
can’t wait to go on a long driving trip
with her husband. It wasn’t until this
point (the play’s end) that it was made
clear that these five actors were
playing more than just five characters.
An important thing such as that

obviously, in the way the actors

Although wildlife enthusiasts
will enjoy Ugo Mochi’s "Shadows in
Outline” exhibit at the New York State
Museum, the exhibit is not
recommended to the general public.
Mochi’s meticulous attention to scale,
form, and composition is virtually
flawless and often beautiful, but his
work lacks a fundamental passion and
a sense of motion necessary to make
his art come alive.

through the use of a small, extremely
sharp lithographer’s knife. Mochi
would place a sheet of white tracing
paper with a previously sketched
design over a sheet of black paper,
from which he would cut the design
in a single piece. Afterwards, the
picture would be mounted on a
contrasting white background.

A major flaw in Mochi’s
work appears to be the lack of variety
in subject matter. A former illustrator
for children’s wildlife books, Mochi
concentrates on two themes: animals
and modes of transportation. The
majority of his earlier work (1913

Optimism

The television and newspaper accounts. of the
historic breaching of the Berlin Wall were
astounding. Bands played, people cheered,
laughed and drank; they smiled and waved at
news cameras on top of the wall - where only
days before they might have been shot by
border guards.

We’re hearing all about it: how the newly free
visitors spent the $54 “welcome money” issued
to them by the West German government, how
they stood next to the guards and chipped off
pieces of the wall for souvenirs, how thousands
poured through border crossings so new the
paint wasn’t even dry.

The new freedom of travel in East Germany
is apparently the latest in a string of incredible
changes in the communist countries of Europe.
The USSR is making glasnost and perestroika
seem more like real policy than the public
telations ploy seen by some Western observers.
Poland and Hungary have ousted their
communist parties and elected more moderate,
more democratic, pro-western governments.
And now East Germany has put on the most
dramatic display to date.

Is it really the death of communism? Perhaps.
The new openness of the communist bloc is
almost surely motivated by the need to attract
money and brains to a country where buying
ordinary household goods can be a day-long (or
longer) ordeal. Capitalism means money, and
that’s something these countries need.

Still, the new freedom might be fragile. In a
totalitarian society, change comes from the top
down. There have been demonstrations and
protests, but it would be naive to think they
scared the governments into real reform. We
saw at Tiananmen Square that public outcry for
justice can be stifled quickly. The suddenness
of the new ways in communist Europe makes
them seem less a product of peaceful revolution
or political evolution than an experiment by the
tuling classes. The permanence of the
improvements wil] probably depend on the
success of the experiments.

If they succeed, will the freedom continue to

grow, until the USSR and her satellites are
indistinguishable from the U.S.? It seems
unlikely. Russia, which is obviously pulling the
strings in Eastern Europe, has always been a
very different country than America. A closed,
Statist society existed there long before 1917; a
sometimes-justified paranioa about security and
the equivalence of religion and the state are not
inventions of Lenin. Modern laissez-faire
economics will be a new experience for a land
that went from feudalism to communism. The
shape the “new” communist world will take
remains to be seen.

And if the experiment fails, will the
oppression become stronger than ever? If the
new spirit of toleration by government is
merely a sharp swing of the pendulum toward
freedom, will the swing back to imprisonment
be just as sharp, with devastating results? The
free world hopes not, but that, too, Temains to
be seen.

We’ve seen amazing things in recent weeks.
But let’s keep ‘our optimism guarded, and
celebrate only what we’ve seen and not what

we assume. Real improvement takes time; real
social change comes from the ground up.

A recyclable letter to Norbert Zahm

Dear Norbert,

I’m so glad that you have taken the time to
address us, your “Rathskellar and Cafeteria
Customers,” about what you are going to do about
the stacks of styro-foam that you provide so freely
to the campus each day. It really pleases me to
know that you, and UAS, are concemed about the
post Reagan/James Watt environment that we all
must live in. We are concerned about the

Paul C. Webster

environment aren’t we?

I’m overwhelmingly thrilled to learn that since
February 8th, some 10 months ago when we were
all still talking about what a great year 1989 was
going to be, “UAS had terminated the use of all
styro-foam containers manufactured with the
environmentally dangerous chemical CFC-12.”
Norbert, I could possibly kiss you for showing so
much concern about the environment and
woodland creatures like Bambi and Thumper, but
let me ask you a question. Are you best buddies
with Joe Isuzu?

On Saturday morning as I strolled through your
nice little kitchen in the Campus Center, I was
bombarded with stacks of styro-foam trays to place
my food on. That actually wasn’t so bad, knowing
that you are making a concerted effort to rid the
SUNYA campus of the styro-foam scourge,
because I read a copy of your important letter as I
waited for your cook to place my Philly cheese
steak on a styro-foam plate. Hmmm.

Making light of this to your cook, as he prepared
my food, he didn’t even make an attempt to locate
any of.the paper trays or plates that occasionally
appear in your UAS facilities, even after being
asked politely. Instead, he shook his head and
made this great exclamation:

“Oh, another one of you styro-foam people. Next
thing you know you'll be trying to save the
whales!”

Thank you for the compliment Mr. Einstein. As
far as I know, the last time a whale attacked a
human being was in some Hollywood feature, or
was that a Japanese flick with Godzilla and Rodan?

Norbert, neither you nor any of your employees
ever have to answer any questions from me about
the nine stacks of styro-foam trays (250 trays per
bundle), that stand in the Rat at any time. Nor do
you have to answer any questions about the styro-
foam dinner plates, sandwich plates, coffee cups,
ice cream cups, chili bowls, or any other
potentially hazardous substance in your kitchens. I
am strengthened by the knowledge that George
Bush is the “Environmental President” and he will
do something about this matter.

And while I’ve got your attention, I’ll never ask
any questions concerning the washing of hands by
your employees after they come out of the
bathrooms either, because I know you’ve got that
covered, or will at least post a warm and endearing
letter near our food telling us all about it.

Oh Norbert, excuse me. I didn’t mean to attack
you like this about some silly plastic that will still
be like new and we’ve all been rotting in some
grave for 200 years. I guess I took all of my
frustration out on you because I couldn’t get a hold
of Albany County Executive Jim Coyne to ask
about the $10,000 private scholarship his daughter
teceived from a crony this summer, But I guess
after reading some recent complaints about you in
the ASP, you should be used to people having a
beef with you.

PS.-[had your cook serve my food on two small
paper plates that were on the counter. He told me
that if I did that, my fries would be separated from
my cheese steak. I didn’t mind. I hope he isn’t
fired for giving me an extra plate. If I have to pay,
I'll just drop off a couple of extra pennies at the
Tegister.

Mind your manners

To The Editor:

A concert is a concert is a concert is a concert., as the
saying goes, and every kind of music, be it rock, jazz,
folk, pop, classical. etc., calls for an appropriate kind of
response and deportment. The loud amplified music at
pop-rock concerts as differing from the quiet ambiance
of classical music concerts produces the need for a
different set of rules of behavior for each category.

Over the centuries the beat of “popular” musics that
were current became “classics” and the audiences that
listened to these “classics” in turn became more
reflective. They had become intensely absorbed in the
music in the same way that an audience today viewing an
opera responds very differently from the way an
audience responded to a Vivaldi opera during the 18th
century.

Quiet times in quiet places: libraries, museums, houses
of worship, and yes, concert halls, did not happen by
decree - they happened by agreement. People agreeing
that in these places a particular mode of behavior quite
different from the market place or pub, quite different
from the athletic arena or TV, is called fro and is
necessary. Because concentration is essential, distraction
cannot be accepted. <3

Peter Haley, SUNYA graduate and music writer for
Capital Newspapers’ Albany Times-Union, writing
recently of a concert at Page Hall, properly took some
SUNYA students to task for behavior that was
inappropriate and offensive at a classical music concert.
In addition, Mr. Haley discussed ongoing disruptive
behavior by the students at other classical music concerts

that was disturbing to all in attendance, including ticket
purchasers not of the University community. He
suggested the Music Department offer a “crash course in
Concert Behavior 101”.

These SUNYA students are not alone. Let me share an
incident that happened last March at a world famous
concert auditorium, Weil Hall at Carnegie Hall, in New
York City. An obviously successful young man sat in the
front row with a group of well-dressed people. After
every movement of the first selection this seemingly
cultured individual was the only person in the audience
to applaud - loudly and persistently. He continued, even
though people in the audience turned to look at him with
shocked faces. Imagine the embarrassment he felt when
he finally realized that he was the only one in the
auditorium who did not know what to do. He needed that
“crash course in Concert Behavior 101.” Unfortunately
the results of his ignorance could be wider reaching and
far more deleterious to his future that simple
embarrassment. What if the group with whom he was
sitting consisted of his boss and clients? This well-
meaning but uninformed young man may have lost a
promotion and/or sale.

But how can this apply to our SUNYA students? Put
yourself in the following scenario: After graduation, your
employer is impressed with your work and wants to get
to know you better - with the possibility of a promotion
to follow. The employer invites you to dinner and a
classical music concert afterward. You carefully dress for
the occasion in order to make the best impression
possible. But, at the concert will you know when to
applaud and when not to applaud? And after the concert
will you be able to discuss intelligently the music
performed? Or will you be found wanting as was the
young man at Carnegie Hall? Surprisingly, your future
and job advancement may well be affected by a basic
knowledge of classical music and an understanding of
concert manners?

The above arguments presented for classical music are
admittedly somewhat superficial. An entire article could
be devoted to more profound and far-reaching reasons
for expanding your ears. minds and hearts. Classical
music, unamplified and filled with a multitude of details,
requires concentration and require the attention and
listening skills pertinent to classical music. Wynton
Marsalis, the young trumpet virtuoso equally at home in
both musical worlds, describes popular music as a
“candy bar” which of course “everyone likes”. Classical
music is more nourishing stuff that calls for a lengthier
development of taste: without this it cannot be
appreciated. Concert manners are necessary to protect
the right of those around you to enjoy the music and to
enable YOU to open your ears, hearts and minds to its
understanding and enjoyment.

Western art forms generally and classical music
specifically have been around a long time and promise to
be around for a long time to come. Classical music is an
important part of our civilization that is recognized and
cherished the world over. With care and effort classical
music can open many wonderful doors that will serve
you beautifully, in ways you probably would never
dream of or suspect, for the rest of your life.

One closing thought: At a classical music concert is
the audience appreciativ@,are the people having a good
time? Listen to the resounding applause and the loud
shouts of “Bravo!!!” at the end of a terrific concert.
Those broad smiles and happy expressions say it all.

s Irvin E. Gilman

Article not on target

Te the editor:

In reference to the article printed in the ASP on Nov.
7, two things came to mind: who wrote the article and
why? The first question I was able to answer: Tim
Devane. The second question remains a mystery to me.
You titled the article “El Salvadoran talks on country’s
internal conflict.” That was your first mistake. Your
second mistake? You surely did not put your 100 percent
effort into this important story. It seemed that you had
deadlines to meet and weren’t able to sit down and think
about what the speaker had to say.

To write or for that matter print the phrase “El
Salvadoran” when referring to a person, is as bad as
saying, “I is a college student.” Tim! The correct way to
refer to a person from El Salvador is “Salvadoran.” To
me, and to other leaders, this illustrates lack of interest in
Latin America and bad grammar skills. I do put more

emphasis on the first one because it does carry the most
importance.

The second point I want to make is about the article
itself. I was at the event and was very impressed with the
presentation made by the speaker. When I read the
article, I was very surprised. You seemed to be very
bored at the conference; it was obvious in the article.
According to the article, the conference seemed dull and
uninteresting. Did you think about all of the non-Latinos
who read the article and thought of it as an important
event, when in reality it had great importance not only to
Latinos, but to all who were there?

Ido wish to say that I do appreciate the effort the ASP
has made to cover such Latin American events. But what
I don’t understand is: how can a person print a story
without having any prior knowledge of the events? In
this campus we have Latino organizations such as Fuerza
Latina and the Latino Security Council, who are more
than willing to answer any questions you and your staff
might have about Latin America. Hey, guys, we are only
a few doors away from you. Come visit sometime and
ask questions.

Class of '91: Get active!

To the editor:

To the class of 1991: involvement with your
graduating class is something you should consider doing
tight now before your time at SUNYA is complete. It
would not be fair if you are not at least aware of some of
the things that we, the Class Council of 1991, are doing.
We are an SA recognized group that attempts to promote
fun and friendship amongst the junior class. We have an
executive board that oversees four committees. They are
Fountain Week, Junior Fest, Fundraising, and of course
the Social /Recreational committee as well.

Presently we are planning a trip to New York City to
watch a New York Knicks basketball game. We are also
planning a booze cruise trip for next semester as well as
several parties. Every group fundraises but we have a
natural desire to fundraise as much as possible because

the money we make as a class now will be used to make
our “Senior Week” better than any of the previous ones
to date. Membership also has many advantages because
many gain a tremendous amount of respect from their
peers by the work they put into the class. Some examples
are the participation in conference and group interactions
on the business and social level. One’s public speaking
ability will definitely improve by being on Class
Council, and yes, a resume can only be enhanced by
being on Class Council. To be brief, the Class Council of
1991 is for you but we need you to help us. Come check
us out! Meeting are on Monday nights at 8:00 p.m, in
Humanities 24 (in the basement.) In case you didn’t
know, you are already a member; we are just waiting for
you to show up. On behalf of the Class Council of 1991,
we look forward to meeting you.

would hurt them too badly.

In Bingaman’s home state,
alcohol ads accounted for
$7,000, or “less than 2 percent,”
of the ad revenue earned last
year by the Daily Lobo at the
University of New Mexico,
Lobo ad manager J.R. Spradley
said.

Rob Sims, editor of Newspeak
at Worcester Polytechnic
Institute in Massachusetts,
estimated his paper gets “only
$200 or $300 a year” in alcohol-
related ads,

Ad managers at some smaller
Papers worry a ban would cause
enough financial stress to alter
their operations. Casper
College’s Roth said The
Chinook probably would have
cut back the number of pages it
publishes each week if it lost its
alcohol ad revenues.

In Washington, Kohl adie
Peck wasn’t sure of the bill’s
chances of becoming law. “I’ve
been told there’s not a lot of
enthusiam (for the bill) in the
House.”

If it passes “ad managers will
have to become more
aggressive” in finding other
advertisers to compensate for the
lost revenues, Rolnicki
counseled.

Even if it doesn’t, local
campus bans promise to hurt
some papers. At Cal State-
Chico, worries that the Orion
would suffer financially from
Wilson’s September ultimatum
have led to a compromise,
Quinn said. Wilson agreed to let
the paper carry ads that mention
beer, while the paper agreed to
‘ban tavern ads that promote low-
Price drink specials.

“Tt cuts the ‘let’s get drunk’
attitude,” Quinn said.

them. Afterwards the Quad
Coordinator goes through all
rooms that have been billed
for damages in order to
make sure they were
properly assessed. Samuels
said he evaluated
approximately 600 rooms on
Colonial Quad last semester.
Included in those billed for
damages were several
Residence Assistants (RAs).

Samuels said that all
suites are evaluated in the
same manner. “If we bill
RA’s we are obviously not
discriminating,” he said.

According to Samuels,
Quad Coordinator, he is
responsible for the students
in the rooms. However, he is
not responsible for the
actual rooms themselves. It
is the Physical Plant that
controls them. That is why
the Physical Plant

would “integrate but not
assimilate,” entertainment
that the SA would sponsor
such as concerts with local
bands and more theme days
and comedians.

One concern that Halber
said he is fighting for is the
Legal Services Office.

“It's important that people
have legal representation in
court if they’re in trouble,”
Halber said. “You're in jail,

you're alone in a strange
town with a million things
on your mind...it’s nice to
know you'll have a friend to
help you out.” And it is for
that reason why Halber
supports the mandatory
activity fee.

“The Activity Fee is
supplementary for the kinds
of things that re not given
through the school,” Halber
said.

Halber also addresses the
problem of apathy on
campus. “There’s no apathy
on campus, It’s a joke. Ask
any Greek about apathy and
they'll tell you they’re
involved.” He also said that
the Greek community is a
large power that is not being
utilized in co-operating with
SA in putting together
projects.

“They have a tremendous
amount of man and woman
power,” Halber said, stating
that if elected, he would
share his office space with
the Greeks.

Halber also said he’s
realistic. “I know that I have
only one semester left, but
I'd like to spend that
helping the SA meet the
needs of the students and
hopefully the things that I
start will continue long after
I’m gone.”

“The single issue was a
fight to protect health care
benefits that were
negotiated, fought for,

struck for over 25 years of
collective bargaining,” Bahr
said.

He said he was proud the
unions had fought back the
attempt to shift health care
costs but said neither side
could claim victory.

“Both sides paid a very
heavy penalty for
miscalculations by
management,” Bahr said.
“They have undoubtedly
lost business to non-union
competitors, which will
have an adverse impact on
us, and our members are in
the 15th week of a strike to
protect what they had.”

AFL-CIO

Continued from page 5
Although the United
Mineworkers have not gone
on a nation wide strike, they
said they still stand united
with striking Pittston
mineworkers in Virginia, on
strike due to health-care cuts
and a host of other
complaints.

The AFL-CIO is expected
to reaffirm its position on
striking actions. Yesterday
striking workers marched in
solidarity with other unions
across the convention floor
in a symbolic gesture,
emphasizing their cries for
fair treatment and
compensation.

They were joined by the
Eastern pilots and NYNEX
communication workers still
on strike in Easter states,
including New York

Sunday’s rally was the first

The average SAT scores
required to get into Binghamton,
Geneseo and Buffalo outpace
such private New York state
schools as ST. Lawrence,
Skidmore, Hartwick, Ithaca and
Sarah Lawrence, according to
college guides.

Arco’s guide to the 300 most

“We're now in the big

Joseph Burke, whose advises
Students to apply to more than

These statistics - which most
Private schools would trumpet -
instead make SUNY officials
vaguely uncomfortable.

That’s because they snow
SUNY heading in the opposite
direction of the oft-stated goals
of Gov. Mario Cuomo and some
legislators to make the public
university accessible to everyone
who wants to get in.

“We don’t want to see SUNY

Tequest asks the state for an extra
$3 million to pay for 250 more

it’s a “conservative” estimate of

what SUNY will need.
“We want to watch very

said. “We think it shows we’re

Nonetheless, state Sen.
Kenneth LaValle, a Long Island
Republican who’s chairman of

Joseph Reilly, president of the

NFL playoff picture looks very confusing

(AP) With six games to go, nearly three-
fourths of the NFL’s 28 teams remain in
normal contention for a playoff berth. But
for all of them, one question remains:

Who is going to stop the San Francisco
49ers from becoming the first team in a
decade to repeat as Super bowl champion?

San Francisco, three games ahead in the
NEC West, got its most one-sided victory
in more than two years Sunday, beating
Atlanta 45-3. That made its record 9-1,
best in the NFL.

Here’s a look at the possible playoff
picture;

NFC WEST.

San Francisco, 9-1, has a three-game
lead over the Rams, who broke a four-
game losing streak with a 31-10 rout over
the New York Giants(8-2), who may have
spent too much time by the pool in
Phoenix. The Rams have much the easier

said. “We worked four long, hard years
to go out as winners.”

“On any given day we can beat
anybody,” Chruma said. “The defense is
tough. It’s nice to go out with 14 straight
wins.”

“We sucked it up when we had to. We
dug deeper than we ever had to,” Tim
Hearney said. Hearney also wanted to
thank the fans for their support. Many
Albany enthusiasts made the trip to
‘Massachusetts for the final, including
members of the football and women’s
soccer teams. “We have a good athletic
relationship here,” Nardiello said.

“It’s a great way to end the season,”

schedule-the 49ers must play the Giants,
Bears and Bills and the Rams get another
shot at San Francisco, whom they beat 13-
12 at Candlestick.

But other than the Rams, all of the
49ers’ though games are at home season
ended now the Rams, be in a three-way tie
with Chicago and Philadelphia for a wild -
card berth.

Give 5-5 New Orleans an outside shot at
a wild -card, too.;

NFC CENTRAL.

It still should come down to the Vikings
(7-3) and the Bears(6-4). If Chicago
remains within a game, it could win the
division by beating Minnesota Dec.3,
because it won the first meeting between
the teams.

The Packers(5-5) fell prey to the
bugaboo that besets young, coming teams-
after a big win over Chicago a week ago,

they lost to Detroit 31-22 Sunday despite
getting 31 first downs to 8 for the Lions
and outgaining them 432-128. The killers
were three turnovers and special team
letdowns.

:NFC EAST.

The Giants lost so badly to the Rams, in
part because of complacency, in part
because they were too relaxed staying in
Phoenix, in part because they didn’t need
the game and the Rams needed it
desperately. The latter was particularly
true after the Eagles lost to the Redskins
meaning New York would hold its two-
game lead over Philadelphia(6-4).

The Eagles still have a shot at the title if
they can beat the Giants Dec.3, although
they have to find their offense- Randall
Cunningham averaged 293 yards in the air
in the first three games; 186 in the last
seven.

AFC EAST.

Buffalo (7-3) is in good shape because
it’s beaten Miami (6-4) twice. But if
Miami doesn't win the division, it has a
good shot for a wild-card, its remaining
opponents are 20-40 combined.

Indianapolis seems demoralized, the
Patriots too banged up and the Jets.... the
Jets.

AFC CENTRAL.

Cleveland (7-3) has come alive ‘on
offense and has control, a game ahead the
winner of Monday night's Houston-
Cinncinnati game and two games ahead of
the loser.

AFC WEST.

It's hard to see Denver losing at this
point, particularly following the Raiders’
14-12 loss at San Diego Sunday night.
The Raiders remain in decent shape for a
wildcard.

Grimes said. “We had so much confidence
that there was never any doubt in what we
could do.”

“It was a pleasure and a privilege to
play with these guys,” said Goldstein.
“Coach did a great job.”

“The program is headed in the right
direction,” Erick Cifuentes said.

Lehrer played a big part in helping the
Danes set school records for shutouts (
twelve), consecutive shutouts (six), wins
(eighteen), and consecutive wins
(fourteen), but didn’t want the credit that
goalies are given, especially for shutouts.

“T did not say anything,” Lehrer said.
“Billy (Knapp), Timmy (Heamey), Scotty
(Grimes), Kenny (Perkins), and Scotty
(Goldstein) did it. Twelve shutouts is great
for the team, but it doesn’t mean anything

for me.”

“Tt’s-a great feeling to shut out a good
Williams team,” Lehrer added.

Nardiello will miss them, but he knows
his program is strong, and will continue to
be his returning players.. Freshmen
Lehman, Marty Hearney, and Bill Muller
were important in Sunday’s win, as well
as all season. “The young guys pulled
through,” Nardiello said. “They’ve been
plugging the gaps all year.”

The win moved Albany into the upper
echelon of New York Division III soccer.
“We’re not bitter,” Nardiello said,
referring to Ithaca making the NCAA
tournament over the Danes, “but we
proved that we belong.”

Now with an ECAC trophy to prove it,
there really is no doubt.

Women harriers finish fifth at regionals

STAFF WRITER

In it’s final meet of the season, the Dane
women’s cross-country team was at
Regionals Saturday in Rochester.

At stake was a Nationals berth. With the
top two spots virtual locks, Albany had a
good chance of securing a third place
finish and to earn a spot. However this
was not to be as the Danes placed a still
respectable fifth.

Winning the meet was Cortland State
with 17 points. They dominated the field
having six of the top seven runners and
showing why they are ranked first
nationally in Division III.

Second place was taken by fifth ranked
nationally Ithaca, with 52 points.

Earning that third and final spot to the
Nationals, was Binghamton State with
157 points. Fredonia State also snuck in
ahead of Albany with 159 points. Albany
was fifth with 167 points.

The race began under ideal conditions
on an outstanding cross country course.
Getting out well for the Danes was

sophomore Amy Mack. At the mile mark
she was pacing Albany in 6:08. At that
point she looked comfortable.

“I was not pushed and felt comfortable
at the mile mark,” Mack said.

Following her at 6:12 was junior Tricia
Shultes. Running two seconds behind
Shultes were senior co-captains Denise
Buneo and Kerry Charron. Slightly
behind was sophomore Colleen Shine.

Pacing the Danes through two miles
was Mack in 12:59. Following her was
Shultes and Charron 13:08 and 13:10
respectively. Also there were Shine and
Buneo behind Charron.

The race was won by Cortland who
placed six of the top seven.

The first Dane to cross the line was
Mack in 24th place, at 20:39. She has
consistently been Albany’s number one
runner,

“T knew it would be close and just did
my best,” Mack said.

She also commended her teanimates
for, “...giving it their all.” Placing behind
Mack was Shultes in 32nd (20:52). Coach

Ron White said she ran, “...gutsy and
determined” finishing her season well.

“This was a fatiguing race because
there were so many spectators, it was
tough to focus,” Shultes said.

Finishing third for Albany was Charron
in (33, 20:55). She looked good coming
off an injury and ran well.

She said she wanted to have a good
race and was nervous because, “I know
we had a good chance at Nationals.”

Next came Buneo (39th, 21:08) and
rounding out the scorers was Shine (56,
21:56).

“Colleen was coming off an injury and
gave it her all,” White said.

Also placing was senior Diana Peralta
(69th, 22:37) and sophomore Dawn
Dansky (79th, 23:05). Peralta ran well at
the end of the season and had a good day
here while Dansky, coming off an injury,
tried her best.

Out of the 20 teams competing,
Binghamton and Fredonia were the ones
known to be close competition. After
beating both teams at States, the Danes
realized they would be the chief

competitors at Regionals.

“The teams that beat us today were just
better than us today,” Shultes said.

This meet, although disappointing, caps
off a highly successful season. Winning
the Wagner Invitational, dominating
Capital District’s and taking second at
States are pretty impressive feats.

“We learned how to handle victory as
well as defeat,” White said.

“We were close as friends as well as
runners so defeat was easier to take,”
Charron said.

As echoed by almost every team
member, they gave it their best shot and
are now looking ahead.

“I hope we can stay cohesive for
further seasons because this is a key to
victory,” Mack said.

“I am extremely proud of this team and
especially proud of their enthusiasm,”
White said.

White now turns to coach indoor track,
but, “...1 am sorry this year is over
because I enjoyed this season and this
team immensely,” White said.

overconfidence may have plagued his
team.

“We were rested, but we weren’t as
sharp as we could’ve been,” Russo said.
“We played a difficult game and Williams
had a cakewalk,” Nardiello said.

One thing Albany’s fired-up defense did
do was keep high-scoring Rob Lake off
the board. Lake had entered the semifinals
with a total of 16 goals. The usual
defensive back starters - seniors Billy
Knapp, Scott Grimes, and Tim Hearney -
were responsible for this, but so was
freshman Kevin Lehman, starting in place
of Ken Perkins, who was home with
mononucleosis.

Williams’ other star, two-time All-
American Dan Calichman, also wasn’t the
force that Albany had expected. In fact,
Calichman’s play was so sub-par, that
Dane technical advisor Vlado Sergovich
labeled him, “...maybe their weakest
player.”

Many Albany players felt that Kean (19-
5) put up a tough fight.

Kean was a better team,” Nardiello said.
“Tactically, they were very fast and
smooth.”

The Danes had taken the first two shots
of the game, but with 30:30 left in the half,
Kean’s Jacques Gonzalez smacked Theo
Allotey’s cross pass by Lehrer.

At the half, Nardiello slightly altered his
attack. Scott Goldstein had been marking
Kean’s all-American midfielder, Greg
Bajek, one-on-one, Nardiello gave the job
to Tim Hearney, instead, because the
Danes needed Goldstein’s offense and
Bajek simply wasn’t deemed to be very

dangerous. “He was either overmarked or
overrated,” Sergovich said.

Lee Tschantret’s header with 36

Nardiello could find nothing but
positive words to say about the Danes’
newest title; ECAC champions.

He was overjoyed with the work that
his seniors have done for him in their
careers. “They showed tremendous
dedication,” Nardiello said. The played
soccer all year, including indoor season
and other leagues. That bonded us.”

“This season didn’t come out of
nowhere,” Nardiello added. “It took years
of hard work, dedication, commitment,
and professionalism.”

The seniors offered similar views about
the Danes’ progress and
accomplishments.

“We came in with a bad record,” Knapp

Senior Pat Ryder finished his last game
with 26 yards on 13 carries, including a
one yard TD run in the first quarter.
Passing, he was 8-14 for 121 yards and a
TD, a 22 yard scoring toss to senior Brad
Acker that gave the Danes a 12-0 lead in
the second quarter.

For his career, Ryder is the leading
passer in Dane history. He was 236-514
for 3,153 yards, all Albany records. His
25 TD passes ties the Dane record. Ryder
is also the leading scorer with 180 points.

Kevin Adams completed the Danes’
first half scoring as he went in from the
Saint two-yard line. Adams led the Danes
in rushing with 74 yards on 12 carries. St
Lawrence scored in the first half on a
eight yard pass from Phelps to Lanning
and a 36 yard Ron Frissora field goal.

Dane fullback Pete Pedro needed 110
yards to become the all-time leading

tusher in Albany history, but got only 41.
He ended his career with 2,612 yards and
his TD run in the third gave him 126
points; fourth on the all-time list.

Chechile’s field goal and PAT gave him
133 points for his career, third on the all-
time Great Dane list.

Mike Giroux had a 12 yard TD run in
the third to cap off a period where the
Danes scored 13 points.

Defensively the Danes were led by Jay
Austin’s two interceptions in the first
quarter and Dan Hershkowitz’s two
fumble recoveries. Davis had nine tackles.
James Watson averaged 36.5 yards on
four punts.

Albany may have finished 5-4, but its a
deceptive record. Three of the four teams
Albany lost to (Cortland, Union, and
Hofstra) are going to the NCAA playoffs.
A team they beat (Alfred) is going to the

ECAC’s. “I thought this team was a
playoff contender,” Ford said.

They lost to defending national
champion Ithaca by ten points in the
opening game. Then they beat Alfred ina
35-31 thriller. A win over Division II
Springfield gave the Danes a 3-1 record
and hopes of postseason play. But a 36-
22 loss to Union ended that.

“The only game I felt bad about was the
second-half of the Union game,” Ford
said.

From there was a win over Western
Connecticut, a loss to Cortland, a victory
against Norwich and a tough defeat to
Hofstra, before this nail-biter against the
Saints.

Although Albany loses it QB and two
of its top runners, a solid team is coming
back next season.

And that’s no joke.

Great Danes finish year
with wild win over Saints

By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR

For the 21 seniors on the Albany
football team, their last game will be one
they will not soon forget. With the Danes
beating St Lawrence, 34-10, 6:24
remaining in the game, this was a joke for
the Danes.

Like a trick cigar, the joke almost blew
up in Albany’s face.

The Saints scored 22 points in the last
three minutes and made a game of it. Jeff
Davis had to intercept Chris Phelps’ pass
on a two point conversion with 45
seconds left to save the win; 34-32.

“I’m very proud of my kids,” Saints’
head coach Larry Kimball said. “They
could have quit.”

After Anthony Chechile’s 33 yard field
goal made it 34-10, the Saints took the
ensuing kickoff and got to Albany’s 16
before Phelps fumbled and the Danes’
Mike Niebuhr recovered it.

Albany could have iced the game, but
on the first play, Burchell Reader fumbled
the ball right back to the Saints, as Peter
Ricker recovered.

Phelps then got the Saints to the Albany
four where he threw a TD pass to Kurt

Lanning. Lorry Rogers ran in the two-
point conversion to make it 34-18, 2:47
left.

Everyone knew what was coming next,
including the Danes, but it didn’t matter as
the Saints recovered the onside kick at its
47. Phelps kept the Saints alive as he
threw and ran his team to the Albany four.
Rogers took it in off right tackle on first
and goal.

Phelps completed the two-point
conversion as he threw to Randy Conrad,
Suddenly the Saints had made it 34-26,
with 1:13 remaining.

St Lawrence again tried the onside kick,
but while the last one was a squibber that
skipped off the ground, this one hung in
the air and landed at the Dane 47 where
Jim Kiernan fell on it.

“We work on it so hard,” Albany head
coach Bob Ford said. “We practice that
(onside kicks) two to three times a week.”

Impossibly, the Saints were in a position
to tie it. Phelps threw 28 yards to Jim
Currie to get to the Dane 19. There with
45 seconds left in the game, Phelps found

Albany defeated two-time defending
ECAC champion Williams College, 1-0 in
Sunday’s final to capture its first ECAC
championship. The Danes advanced after
its come-from-behind 2-1 victory over
Kean on Saturday. Williams secured its
place in the finals by breezing past
Frostburg St., 7-0.

A hostile hometown crowd of several
hundred witnessed a dramatic final on
Sunday. both teams initially had difficulty
in generating offense. The best early
opportunity was twelve minutes into the
game when Erick Cifuentes’ blast was
stopped by Williams’ goalie Chuck
Goldfarb. The rebound nearly trickled in,
but Goldfarb’s last ditch effort to punch
the ball out was successful.

This held until the 30th minute of the
half. This was when Albany (18-2) broke
through with perhaps the most important
goal in school history. Freshman Marty
Mearney took a pass from Chris Chruma
on the left side outside the penalty box,
dribbled about ten yards, and without
hesitation, fired away. Goldfarb appeared
to be in perfect position as far as the
angles were concerned, but Hearney’s
blast was by him on the near inside in an
instant.

Williams (15-4) managed several
scoring threats in the second half, but

scoring threats in the second half, but
couldn’t finish any of them off. Danes
goalie Brian Lehrer, who collected his
Albany record 12th shutout, came up with
a couple of big saves (unofficially nine
overall) in the 24th minute on a header in
a crowd and a dangerously close direct
kick. Less than three minutes later, Lehrer
came up with the save of the game. The
Ephs’ Laurin Laderoute took a low cross
and pounded a volley at Albany’s net.
Lehrer acrobatically dove left and
punched the ball sky-high backwards over
the goal. Unknown to many, Lehrer
played throughout the ECAC’s with an
injury to his right hand,

Williams coach Michael Russo
acknowledged that Albany defensively
did the job that was necessary to win.

“We couldn’t penetrate as well as we
liked,” Russo said. “We were trying to get
at least 15 or 16 shots (they had 12) but
we couldn’t do it. “I give them credit”

Albany coach Aldo Nardiello felt that
fatigue could have been fatal for his team.
Their semifinal win was in doubt until the
very end, while Williams’ starters enjoyed
much of their rout over Frostburg from
the bench.

“Had the game gone to overtime, it
would have been difficult for us,”
Nardiello said. Russo believed that having
such an easy win was detrimental. Some
