NUMBER 28

Community outraged at SU

By Pam Prednis

Jn a meeting of Albany residents last
Monday, neighbors voiced their concerns
about recent incidents involving SUNYA
students,

“The problems (with the students) are
just endless,” several Washington Ave.
homeowners said. “Not just with the
urination, but with the garbage, noise,
vandalism, everything”, they said.

Michael and Sheila DeMartino,
residents of Washington Avenue who
recently moved to the Albany area, said
they were warned by area residents that
their new, relatively peaceful
neighborhood would change as soon as
“the students came back.”

Sure enough, neighbors said, the
Sunday before Labor Day, the problems
began. Suddenly, the DeMartino’s said,
they found their back yard used as a short
cut to the bars and their driveway a public
bathroom.

“My brother gave me the idea to go out
and take pictures,” Mrs. DeMartino said,
adding that she and many other area
neighbors hope to use their collection of
photos as evidence to present to the
Mayor to persuade him to do something
about local noise, parking problems and

littering, along with a vast array of other
problems that occur most week nights in
the blocks surrounding the Western and
Washington Avenue bars.

The collage of pictures that neighbors
have collected include various scenes of
students urinating on houses and
driveways, groups of people jumping on
parked cars, and young men smiling
proudly while exposing their genitals
through unzipped flies.

“In addition to the photos, we also have
a petition (defining the problems in the
area) of 200 names which we're sending
to the Mayor,” Mrs. DeMartino said,

Neighbor and recent SUNYA graduate
Laurie Lederman said, “The problems in
this area are horrible this year. Someone
on Ontario Street actually wanted to know
if there was a way to keep landlords from
renting to college students.”

According to the neighbors, comments
like “Why don’t you.-moye to Colonie:
where real people live? This area is for
college students”, and “Why don’t you
get a real job, make more money, and live
somewhere else” are typical statements
made by students. But Lederman said,
“Just because there are bars here doesn’t
mean it’s a student area. This

students also who. don’t like the garbage
and vandalism. We've even had some
students sign the petition.”

“We know it’s not all students,” Mr.
Demartino said. “It’s not just college kids
we’re picking on. The laws go for
everyone, but they aren’t being enforced.
About 95% of the cops say that they’re

understaffed and they do have more
important things to do than check on
someone urinating on someone else’s
steps,” he said. But Mr. DeMartino said
that the resolutions to the problems have
to start somewhere,

Livingston speaks on WCDB

Administrator addresses several student concerns

By Jillian Risberg

Dr. Mitchel Livingston, vice
president of Student Affairs,
spoke on WCDB radio Saturday
afternoon to address several
issues facing the SUNYA
community.

Steve Rhoads, Student
Association (SA) president,
interviewed Livingston. Rhoads
asked him his feelings on going
Division I. “There is no reason
why we can’t have excellence in
all aspects of higher education
including academic and
intercollegiate athletic
programs,” Livingston said.

While Livingston conceded that
there is a feeling from many that
this excellence can’t be achieved
all around, Livingston stressed
that Albany should strive to
achieve this excellence.
Livingston also spoke about
the mandatory health fee. He
said there must be more self-
sufficiency established on
campuses. Therefore, Livingston
said, we need to come up with
creative ways to establish
revenues that would preserve the
livelihood of the University.
Livingston said he doesn’t feel
fees should be charged in every

service area.

Livingston displayed his views
on the tuition increase. “It might
be of certain advantage, but the
State must make education in the
teach of the citizens,” he said.
“Tf you overdo on the tuition side
then you are contradicting the
idea of accessibility.”

Recently, an article in Money
magazine rated three SUNY
schools as top buys in the
country. Some people chastised
this, Livingston said, because
they asked how the State of New
York can afford to do that. In
response, Livingston said, “How
can the State of New York afford
not to do.that?”

The state must make public
higher education available and
affordable, Livingston said. He
explained financial aid would
cover all fees that are mandatory
and part of the educational
program. There would also be
provisions to cover mandatory
fees that economically
disadvantaged students can’t
handle, he said,

According to Livingston,
Albany is attempting to be a
‘just community,’ where

Career Development
Center plans programs

‘By Daniel Maish

The Career Development Center (C.D.C.) is planning a busy Fall
schedule, including Wednesday’s Career Fair, where over seventy
[businesses will compete to attract potential employees.

Designed to help students find jobs or internships, the fair will run
from 9:30 am to until 3:00 pm. CDC Internship Coordinator and
Career Counsellor Patricia Rumore, said, “It’s (the fair) a good
opportunity for students to learn about possible careers because they
can ask a lot of questions without having formal interviews, and
earn about possible internships or careers.”

Rumore said the day is designed to give all students a sense of
what they’re getting into. In addition, Rumore said, “Business can
break stereotypes about who their employees are: a computer
company needs more than programmers.and business majors,
psychology majors, educators and women’s studies majors might all
ibe eligible.”

CDC has scheduled several other events for the fall, including
mock interviews, Rumore said.

“A student can be interviewed by a person pretending to represent
a major firm, and be videotaped doing so. Then, that student can
watch the videotape and analyze how the interview went.”

“We'll go over strategies,” Rumore said. “It’s important to
rehearse and see for yourself what you’re doing. You just can’t!
prepare enough,” she said.

Rumore said students must sign up with the CDC office for the
interviews, which are scheduled for October 17th and 23rd, and
|November 8th.

Another set of events to premiere this fall, Rumore said, are
several different “Careers In...” programs beginning with “Careers in
Communication” on October 15. The programs will feature,
accomplished members of each profession who will talk to students|
labout their careers, she said.

Rumore said students are encouraged to stop into the CDC Office,
which is located behind the stairway between the library and
Business Administration buildings.

UN considers kids

United Nations
(AP) More than 70 presidents, kings ang
prime ministers assembled Saturday at the
United Nations to plan a concerted
campaign to fight off the scourges of
childhood - disease, war, poverty and
illiteracy.

The World Summit for Children is the
largest gathering ever of government
leaders.

“The response has been absolutely
overwhelming,” said Canadian
Ambassador Yves Fortier, one of the
organizers of the summit.

“There are 73 governments whose
sovereigns or presidents or prime
ministers are here in person this weekend
to attend this meeting at the highest
political level,” he said.

The summit “is going to launch a
consciousness by the public, by the
international community, that it is time to
put children at the top of their political
agenda, both domestic and international,”
Fortier said. The summit “sends a
message to the world, it serves as a
catalyst to mobilize public opinion,”
Fortier said.

President Bush arrived Saturday with a
plan to combat measles, polio and other
childhood diseases and AIDS among
American children,

Disaster declared

Moscow, U.S.S.R.
(AP) The president of Soviet Kazakhstan
asked the Kremlin on Friday to declare an
ecological disaster in part of his republic
following a Sept. 12 explosion at a
nuclear fuel factory released a cloud of
toxic gas, Tass said.

The blast and fire at the Ublinsky
metallurgical plant in a workshop using
beryllium spewed the toxic gas that
affected “a considerable part of the
population of Ust-Kamenogorsk,” a city
in eastern Kazakhstan near the border
with China and Mongolia, the official
news agency said. ,

“The public of Kazakhstan and
population of the city demand urgent
measures to improve the situation and
they demand compensation for damage to
their health,” said a telegram sent by
Nursultan Nazarbayev, president of the
republic, to Soviet Prime Minister Nikolai
Ryzhkov.

Nazarbayev also asked that a group of
Soviet experts be sent to Ust-
Kamenogorsk to decide on the continued
operation of the plant, and he requested an
investigation by independent,
international ecological experts, Tass
reported.

He was quoted as saying in the

telegram that local authorities had already
declared the region an ecological disaster

zone.

PREVIEW OF EVENTS

Bodies identified

Bel Air, Maryland
(AP) The strangled bodies of two women
dumped in a trash bin last year were
identified as the wife and mother-in-law
of a New Jersey police officer already
charged with murder in their deaths.

Diane Palumbo Woodrow, 32, and
Yolanda Palumbo, 67, both of
Williamstown, N.J., were identified
Friday after a review of dental records
and forensic evidence from an autopsy,
Maryland state police said.

The bodies were discovered Aug. 12,
1989, in a trash bin at the rear of a
Joppatowne shopping center.

Sgt. Andrew J. Woodrow, 26, a six-year
veteran of the Woodbury, N.J., police
department, was indicted Sept. 13 in New
Jersey for murder. Over the past year, the
indictment charges, he cashed 13 Social
Security checks issued to his mother-in-
law, worth more than $5,000.

Saliva might stop AIDS
Atlanta, Georgia
(AP) Amid concern over the spread of
AIDS in dental offices, new research is
aimed at finding whether something in
saliva can actually inhibit transmission of
the AIDS virus.
The National Institute of Dental
Research has funded four university

Moonlight swimming at SUNYA

studies to explore why saliva seems - in
culture tests - to inhibit the growth of
HIV, Dr. Matthew Kinnard of the NIDR
said Friday at an international AIDS
symposium.

“We are not prepared to make a
statement about why this infective
capacity was reduced,” Kinnard said.

“But,” he added in an interview, “we
simply know it works, whether the saliva
is from males, females, children or
adults.”

The NIDR is spending nearly $1
million this year to fund studies on the
subject at Emory University, the
University of Pennsylvania, State
University of New York at Buffalo and
the University of Miami, Kinnard said.
The studies, launched earlier this year,
will be funded through 1993,

Whatever it is that seemingly inhibits
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, could be
helpful to ntists looking for ways to
prevent the disease, he said.

Bush praises UN

New York
(AP) Three years ago, Georg: Bush
complained that the United Nations was
“another light that failed,” largely
ineffective and sometimes

counterproductive. Yesterday, he stood
before the General Assembly and praised
the U.N.’s resolve in opposing Iraq’s
aggression.

There has been a remarkable tumabout
in the White House attitude toward the
U.N., which not so long ago was viewed

as a platform for anti-Americanism and
Third World dissent.

Now, administration leaders do not hide
their delight over the tough stands taken
by the UN. against Iraq, spanning eight
Security Council resolutions condemning
its invasion of Kuwait and imposing bans
on trade and financial dealings.

“It’s unbelievable,” said John, assistant
secretary of State for international
relations, “It’s like being in San Francisco
in 1945” when the U.N. was founded
amid an air of idealism.

Lay-offs delayed

Watervliet
(AP) Thawing relations between the
United States and the Soviet Union meant
planned layoffs for the Watervliet
Arsenal. But recent military operations in
the Middle East could end up saving over
100 jobs at this 108-year-old cannon
factory, officials said. :
The arsenal planned to lay off 218 of its

j— 2,900 employees this November in

anticipation of Defense Department cuts
for the coming fiscal year.

But arsenal commander Michael J.
Newman has since concluded that
military activity linked to Operation
Desert Shield could bring about a rally in
the cannon-making business, arsenal
spokesman John E. Swantek said Friday.

Newman plans to hold on to an
unspecified number of personnel
originally scheduled to be cut, Swantek

A union official told the Daily Gazette
of Schenectady that 175 of those workers
who received layoff notices will stay, 93
on a permanent basis.

Speaker addresses educational concerns

By Katie Meech

The U.S. higher education
system has reached a crossroads,
Dr. Emest L. Boyer, president of
the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching and
past Chancellor of the SUNY
system said, in his speech tot he
1990 Fall Convocation of the
School of Education on
Wednesday.

Ina speech entitled “Education
for a New Century,” Boyer
traced the historical development
of the country’s public education
system, while outlining his major
concerns for its future.

“After more than 300 years of
local administration,” he
said,”the last decade and a half

education has come increasingly
under national control.” Boyer
attributed this change both tot he
wane of localism in all spheres
of life and to institutional reform
necessitated by foreign military
and economic threats.

The most crucial question
now, Boyer said, is whether a
national system of public
education can be balanced with
the need to revitalize school
management at the local level.

According to Boyer, another
major conflict of interests arises
over curricular content. Boyer
argued for both the study of our
Western heritage, to understand
the past, and of our non-Western
heritage, to understand the
future. He also stressed the need

science, history and art; subjects
traditionally studied in isolation
from each other.

New methods for evaluating
student evaluations are required
also, Boyer said. One of the most
pressing problems that schools
must confront is balancing the
academic and social obligations
of public education, Boyer said.
It is a problem that so far has
only been dealt with by stop-gap
measures, he said.

In conclusion, Boyer asked,
“Does the U.S. have the
dedication and will to close the
gap between the privileged and
the poor?” In a_ society
increasingly divided by tribalism
and clannishness, he said, real

WCDB recognized nationally by Rolling Stone

Two SUNYA graduates and former music directors featured

By Mary E. Nonkes

SUNY Albany’s WCDB, 91 FM radio
was recognized nationally in the October
4th edition of Rolling Stone magazine as
being “one of the music industry’s most
influential alternative outlets.”

The article “College Radio Crosses
Over,” also spotlighted two of WCDB’s
former music directors and SUNYA
graduates, Jim McNeil and Josh
Rosenthal.

WCDB is an entirely student-run station
that plays “alternative” music, and it is
one of the only stations that promotes
music by local performers, Carl deLeon,
‘business manager of WCDB said.

“Students here are close-minded about
trying out new kinds of music. We're just
trying to make people aware that there’s a
lot of good music out there,” deLeon said.
“We make an effort not to play typical
rock or Top 40 music,” he said.

Not all college radio stations are willing
to take chances like WCDB, deLeon said.

It was not until recent years that these
“alternative” stations have gained
recognition by major record companies,
the article stated.

The article said the major label

tecognition by major record companies,
will they be able to keep the influence
these companies have over them
controlled, and will they be able to
maintain their own “underground edge?”

"Students here are close-minded
about trying out new kinds of music.
We're just trying to make people
aware that there's a lot of good

music out there...”

companies have realized that there
continues to be a growing interest in the
music these stations promote.

The question raised in Rolling Stone’s
article was as college radio stations such
as WCDB gain increasingly more

Carl deLeon said he feels WCDB will
be able to maintain its identity. He said
the station has always and will continue to
do what it wants to, and not what record
companies necessarily went.

McNeil, who is currently working at

RCA records, shares the same optimism
as deLeon. In the article McNeil said,
“They (college radio stations) believe in
what they’re doing, and I respect what
they’re doing.”

The article also stated Rosenthal has
been given credit by many for turning
WCDB into the influential station it is
today.

Outside of running the station itself,
WCDB D.J.’s at parties, and on October
10, the station, along with the Student
Association and the University Club, is
sponsoring the on-campus performance of
Robin Hitchcock.

In addition, deLeon said WCDB is
hoping to increase the power for its
transmitter.

“There are a lot of people that work
really hard and put in a lot of time,”
deLeon said, “but when we see our name
appear in something like Rolling Stone, it
makes us feel really good about what
we're doing!”

Fuerza Latina honored community leaders on Thursday

By Kerri Lewis
NEW EDITOR

One hundred and fifty people
attended Fuerza Latina’s
Hispanic Heritage Banquet on
Thursday, where several
prominent Hispanic leaders
received awards for their service

President of Fuerza Latino Guillermo Martinez speaks at the banquet

to the community.

Four awards were given out.

Julio Martinez, Director of
Substance Abuse Services for the
State Department of Mental
Hygiene, received a Latino
Leadership award for addressing
the issue of substance abuse in

the Hispanic community.

J. Martinez addressed several
model programs he has created
for drug abusers.

One example, Martinez said, is.
the Phoenix House: the first
treatment center in New York
City for drug abusers,

Armando Vargas UPS

established in the late 60s.

Political empowerment of the
Hispanic community, J. Martinez
said, can be achieved through
people being “self starters” or
“making their own breaks.”

J. Martinez also said, “Today
Latinos are leaders in
government, business, education,
sports and science... So,
remember we are in a time of
great opportunity for our
people....”

Racism in the media, J.
Martinez said, that portrays
Hispanics as drug dealers or
pimps serves to discriminate
against the community b y
perpetuating harmful
stereotypes. J. Martinez cited
Mayor Marion Barry who he
said was found guilty by the
press but not in court.

Fuerza Latina President
Guillermo Martinez said J.
Martinez suffered from
tuberculosis as a child and later
became addicted to drugs. He
broke through these barriers, he
said, to work his way up to a
governor appointed position.

The Simon Bolivar award,
which is awarded to someone
who has worked to bring the

Hispanic community closer
together, G. Martinez said, was
given to Carmelo Rivera, the
New York State department of"
Environmental Conservation
contract specialist.

G. Martinez said Rivera hosts
a television show, Hispanic
Perspectives, on channel ten.
More important, he said, are
Rivera’s contributions to the
community in the areas of needy
children and better education
systems.

“He has always been
accessible to the campus and we
wanted to acknowledge his
ability to bring everyone
together,” G. Martinez said.

The remaining awards,
received Thursday, were for
Fermin Espinoza and Guillermo
Martinez for their advocacy for
students of color.

G. Martinez,commenting on
the presence of Hispanic leaders
from Troy, Schenectady and
Albany at the banquet said, “Our
ability to have community
leaders at our banquet shows our
efforts to help out these
communities and _ their
recognition of what a strong
group we are.”

Central Council meeting

By Leanne Warshauer
NEWS EDITOR

“This is going to be a very long
meeting,” Central Council Chair Jeff Luks
said at the start of Wednesday night’s 7
hour Central Council meeting.

One of the first matters addressed was
the mandatory health fee. Vice President
of the Student Association of the State
University (SASU), Anita Elliot, updated
Council, explaining the fee had doubled
from $50 to $100 per year.

Elliot also said the state dollars
collected are not required to go towards
health services.

The “hiring practices of the Executive
Branch” were also questioned when one
Council member called for an Internal
Affairs investigation of Student
Association’s (SA) appointment of an
Elections Commissioner.

According to SA Vice President
Michael Brodack, Paul Redza was
appointed interim elections commissioner
because of the “urgency” of the situation.

At the time Redza was appointed,
Brodack said, “I had one application for
elections commissioner. I felt myself with
my back against the wall.”

Brodack said Council was concerned
because SA, “didn’t do it by the book.”
There was no affirmative actions officer
present at Redza’s interview, Brodack
said.

An Internal Affairs investigation is in
progress,

Internal Affairs also presented several
bills, one pertaining to affirmative action
policy. The bill proposed word changes in
policy, substituting "people of color" for

"minority","differently abled” for
"handicapped" and "disabled" and

“sexual/ affectional orientation” for
“sexual orientation,” to name a few.

An amendment was added, to change
the spelling of women, in “Womens
Issues Coordinator” to “Womyn.”

Luks said this spelling change is
becoming standard in all national and
regional organizations.

“The purpose is to take the ‘men’ out of
“‘women’,” Luks said.

The bill was passed...

Central Council member Cindy
Goldberg introduced a bill from the
Student Action Committee, requiring SA
to refrain from selling Greyhound bus
tickets at Copies Plus until the Greyhound
bus workers strike is over.

“I don’t know if we should take sides,”
Council member Harry Jos said.

Kazim Ali, chairman of the Internal
Affairs Committee, disagreed.

“When I look at this bill, I see one -ide
of the story, and it’s the students,” Ali
said. He went on to explain that students
are not safe when they ride Greyhound
due to poor or unexperienced drivers,

With twelve Council members in favor,
the bill was passed.

One of the final bills proposed to
Council was introduced by six Council
members. The bill stated that Central
Council recognizes the diversity of its
members, and suggests that “people of
diverse backgrounds and perspectives
have not been treated on parity with other
people, and their perspectives and
background have also not been accorded
with respect.”

The bill resolves not to accept personal
attacks and encourages Council members
to respect one another.

“T am against this resolution,” Central
Council Vice Chair Judy Zuckerman said,
“Personal attacks are no longer germane;
we resolved that today,” she said.

Several Council members suggested
that the bill itself was a personal attack.

“I see this directed at a few members of
Council, including myself,” Luks said. “I
just wish people had come to me, instead
of (submitting) a resolution,” he said.

Ali, one of the bill's supporters, denied
it was meant as a personal attack.
However, Ali did ask Council, “Did a
white student write this?”.

“No,” Ali said, “it took ‘us’ and Cindy
(Goldberg).”

Council member Shelia Stowell also
defended the bill. “Nowhere does this
have any specific names or labeling of
people,” she said.

“I don’t act this way,” Council member
Rachel Rogers said.

Rogers also said the bill has “malicious
undertones.”

“I feel I am being put down,” she said.

Zuckerman said,“This resolution
undermines the basic practice we’re trying
to bring about.”

Two Council members said they agreed
with the bill’s undertones, and suggested a
rewriting of the bill.

McNamara said, “There’s been a lot of...
we-them talk which is completely
inappropriate. If there was an element of
Personal attack in this bill, it was
inappropriate to do it in this manner.”

Ali again defended his position. “I don’t
like people questioning my motives,” he
said. He asked Council not to “drag out”
the debate.

“I’m getting more and more upset,” Ali
said.

The bill did not pass.

Sig Lam to hold reunion

By Carin Grisafi

Sigma Lamda Sigma (Sig Lam), the
oldest fraternity on the SUNYA campus,
will be holding their alumni-reunion
dinner on Saturday, October 13.

The Alumni Coordinator, Pete Fischer,
who organized the dinner said among the
alumni expected to attend were members
dating back to the SUNYA graduating
class of 1952.

The dinner will be held at the
Boulevard on Central Avenue. Fischer
said he expects 80 brothers and their
guests to attend the affair.

According to Michael Farkas, the
president of Sig Lam, past attempts have
been made to organize a reunion, however
little success has been achieved until now.
With the help of Fischer they were able to
organize the reunion, Farkas said.

The theme of the dinner is “la rat
morte”. “La rat morte” which, according
to Farkas, has been a traditicn since the
1930’s, is the title of Sig Lam’s formal
weekend. On the day following the
formal, an informal party, known as “la
rat morte”, is held at a brother’s house,
Farkas said. The catered affair is held,
according to Farkas, in the spirit of
togetherness. Even if a brother didn’t
attend the formal they can still get
together with their other brothers and
celebrate. This year they hope to embody
that same feeling of brotherhood with the
dinner, Farkas said.

Sigma Lamda Sigma was founded in
1937 by five SUNYA students in
cooperation with then University

President Bruebacher.

Sigma Lamda Sigma, which was the
fourth fraternity on campus, has since
grown to contain 25 brothers and over 700
alumni, according to Farkas. In Sig
Lam’s 53 years of existence they have
been discontinued twice due to external
affairs that led to a disinterest in Greek
life, he said. The last hiatus, which
started in 1965, ended five years ago in
1985, Farkas said.

Sig Lam has been an active part of the
SUNY Albany Community. Farkas said
“As long as there is SUNY Albany there
will be Sigma Lamda
Sigma...Because...we (Sigma Lamda
Sigma) were born and tfaised
here...Albany is the foundation for
anything that means anything in our
fraternity,” Farkas said.

American-lsraeli committee
representative speaks on campus

By Judith Moldover

Mark Sachs, field representative for the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee]
(AIPAC), spoke to the campus based Israel Public Affairs Committee (IPAC) on|
Thursday night.

In an interview, held prior to his address to IPAC, Sachs said he hoped students|
would get involved politically on campus by writing to their congressmen and inviting,
them to speak on campus about U.S.-Israeli relations, especially in light of the Persian|
Gulf crisis.

“Currently,” Sachs said, “Israel is staying behind the scenes, for obvious reasons,
because Israel doesn’t want to unify the Arabs, who are already split.”

However, according to Sachs the American-Israel bond is secure, with the U.S.|
giving 3 billion dollars in aid to Israel. The U.S. and Israel exchange an incredible
lamount of intelligence, Sachs said. Israel provides the U.S. with live testing o!
ammunition and dessert warfare training for its troops, he said.

Addressing the Palestinian issue, Sachs said he feels Arafat has “shut the door on the}
peace process due to his openly embracing Saddam Hussein.” Palestinians are not only
supportive of the Iraqis, but have become radicalized towards a “anti-Israeli and anti-
| West sentiment, Sachs said.

Two unique characteristics of Sig Lam,
Farkas said, are the longevity of their
local fraternity and the closeness that
exists between the brothers. Farkas said
he feels these two distinctions are directly
related to each other.

Farkas said he feels that although they
are a small fraternity, this brings about
more advantages than disadvantages.
“You won’t see the comraderie that exists
here in other, larger faternities.” Farkas
also said, “our closeness...is because we
are small and (have) our roots here.”

John Ziemann, a brother, echoed this
sentiment, “being a local organization
gives us a sense of individuality and pride
in knowing that we are truly fraternity”.

Catfish workers still on
strike at Delta Pride Inc.

By Robert Morris
(Indianola, Miss.)

Sarah White only wanted
more money and longer
testroom breaks when she
walked off her job gutting
catfish for Delta Pride Inc. here.

What she got was a labor-
management standoff. that
began Sept. 12. The strike is
expected to affect wages at
catfish plants across the
Southeast.

“We decided to ask for some
things that would have made it
a better place to work,” said
White, who helped organize the
Delta Pride union-in 1987. “We
wanted to be treated as men and
women; them telling me I have
five minutes in the bathroom is
alotof b.s.”

Plant owners and union
organizers are closely watching
how Delta Pride — the nation’s
largest catfish processor —
handles the 900-employee
strike.

“These companies are
completing their first-ever
contracts with the unions at the
same time they’re losing
money,” said Mike McCall,
editor of the Jackson, Miss.-
based Catfish Journal. “What
happens here will probably
determine what happens at
other plants.”

Isola, Miss.-based Country
Skillet’s contract with 600
employees terminates next
month. Farm Fresh Catfish in
Hollandale, Missy faces a
November deadline with its 250
employees,

“I’m sure what happens at
Delta Pride will affect "the
contracts across the industry,”
said Jerry Whittington, vice
president of operations at Farm
Fresh.

It also is expected to affect
the expansion of organized
labor into catfish plants, which
until 1980 were not unionized.
With 90 percent of the
processors in the country
located in Mississippi,
Arkansas, Louisiana and

Alabama — all right-to-work
states — labor was slow to get
a foothold,

“There’s been a plantation
mentality,” said Joe Price,
spokesman for the Atlanta
UFCW office. “These people
have come out of the cotton
fields and into the 20th century,
but the management of the
plants still sees them in the
fields.”

Delta Pride’s starting wages
range from $3.80 to $6.20 an
hour, but union officials say the
majority of workers make
around $3.90.

Delta Pride contends the 4.8
percent average wage increase
it proposed is more than fair
since a deteriorating market has
cut wholesale catfish prices 20
percent since 1987. Four
Processing plants went out of
business this year, company
officials point out.

“Delta Pride ... has made a
fair and final offer,” a written
statement released by the
company said. “We continue to
provide the highest wages and
best benefit package in the
farm-raised catfish industry.”

That’s simply not true, said
Carlton Dorey, plant manager
of Dorey’s Catfish Farm south
of Little Rock, Ark.

“Mississippi processors have
traditionally worked people at
dirt cheap wages,” said Dorey.
He estimates his 100 employees
make an average $6.50 an hour.

Dorey said he fears low
wages paid in Mississippi could
spread unions to plants in other
Southeastern states.

The UFCW has contracts
with five of the 14 processing
companies in Mississippi; none
for plants in Arkansas,
Alabama or Louisiana.

Delta Pride said it won’t give
in to union pressure. It has
hired 278 replacement workers
to join employees still on the
job.

University Library offers
research assist program

By Brigitte Foland

From September 24 through
November 21, the University
Library is offering a
personalized service titled
Partners in Research, devised to
assist individuals in obtaining
Tesearch,

Dorothy E. Christiansen,
associate for library
development, said the service is
a take-off from the term paper
clinic used last year, which
assisted students in writing term
Papers.

However, Christiansen said,
“The new program being
offered this year is for all
students and is suitable for
meeting all levels of the
researcher’s needs.” The
program includes introducing
the researcher to the availability
of materials, access to these
materials, and a structured
research strategy, Christiansen
said.

According to Christiansen, the

main objectives of the program
are: to help individuals when
determining how to approach
their topic, planning research
strategies, and explaining library
sources and services to assist in
acquiring the information.

Trudi Jacobson, bibliographer,
instructor and coordinator,
commented on the program’s
convenience. “The student or
researcher must simply come
into the library and fill out an
appointment form 24 hours
before they wish for assistance,”
she said.

“This will secure the student
with one on one service from
one of the librarians, and will
allow the librarian to review the
Tesearcher’s needs before hand,”
Jacobson said.

Jacobson said, “Most
importantly, the program is to
benefit the students, although
it’s for anyone doing research.”

U.S. stock market in serious decline

By Gary Strauss

The quarter that just ended has
been like no other in almost a
decade. For the first time since
1982, stocks are in a genuine
bear market. The economy
appears to be in a recession.
Hundreds of thousands of people
who became investors in the
mid- to late-1980s have never
grappled with either.

“I never thought the market
would fall as much as it has,”
says Rick Peters, 29, a Rockford,
Ill., postal worker who began
investing in stocks in 1989. “The
*80s were such a sizzling period,
when I saw all the high returns, I
decided I wanted a part of the
action. The scary part now is
waiting to see what happens.”

The third quarter has turned
From a record-setting rally in
mid-July, the stock market has
plunged into the first bear market
— or broad, prolonged decline
— since 1982. The Dow Jones
industrial average has dropped
547 points, or 18.2 percent, from
its July 17 peak of 2999.75. It is
down 14.9 percent for the quarter
— the Dow’s 15th worst quarter
since 1929 — and is almost
certain to finish the year at a
loss. Smaller stocks have seen
even greater carnage: The
NASDAQ composite index lost a
whopping 25.4 percent in the
quarter.

“T want to stay with it because
I want to be able to retire
comfortably,” says Deambra
Hopgood, 30, a Boys Town,
Neb., school teacher, who began
investing in stocks via payroll
deductions soon after the sudden,
but brief, October 1987 market
crash. “But with what's going on

With the

world going
to pot, isn't
it nice to

the ASP is

and Friday?

RAISE A

economy, I don’t know what’s
going to happen.”

For Hopgood, Peters and
thousands of others, the third-
quarter brought a stinging
teality: Wall Street’s eight-year
winning streak has come to an
abrupt end with a relentless
racheting down of stock prices
across the board. The Dow has
fallen between 50 and 112 points
in seven of the quarter’s 13
weeks,

Now, even veteran buy-and-
hold investors are having a tough
time plotting strategy. It was
sighs of recession that started
stocks sliding in July. But it was
Traq’s invasion of Kuwait Aug. 2
and the soaring oil prices it
triggered that made the bear a
certainty.

With the markets held hostage
to the Middle East crisis, some
investors are falling back on
long-term investing rules.
“Maybe it’s a good time to invest
more money right now because
stock prices look cheap, but I’m
still afraid about the future,”

notes Donna Fenton, 28, of
Williamstown, W.Va., a
pharmaceutical sales
representative for Marion
Merrell Dow. Fenton has reason
to be more optimistic than other
investors: her Marion holdings
rose 28.4 percent during the
quarter. Still, she isn’t convinced
this is the time to buy other
stocks.

“You have to do some hand-
holding for the people going
through this for the first time,”
says August Yanke, a retired
police detective who became an
A.G. Edwards stockbroker in
Panama City, Fla., in 1985 and
now has 450 clients. “People
have to have a level of comfort,
and there’s a lot of uncertainty
now.”

Part of the uncertainty is
knowing where the bottom is. If
this turns out to be an average
postwar bear market, the Dow
will hit bottom at just under 2200
late next summer, (The eight
bears since 1946 dropped the
Dow 27.6 percent and aed 13

months.) But if this matches the
worst postwar bear, in 1973-74,
the Dow will drop 45 percent, to
1646, and it will last until June
1992.

In few previous bear markets
did there seem to be as many
crises at once: the budget deficit;
foreign competition; record
corporate, personal and
government debt; a sinking
economy; a looming crisis in
banking to accompany the one
among savings and loans.

Not to mention the prospect of
war. “Hussein is crazy enough to
Start a war, and if he does, stock
prices are going to go way
down,” laments Fidel Sanchez of
Las Cruces, N.M, “If anything
worries me, Hussein does.”

Sanchez, a Continental Air
Lines pilot, says the 83 percent
jump in jet fuel prices since the
invasion likely will force
cutbacks at the airline. Sanchez,
a veteran investor who’s
weathered two previous bears,
has no plans to change his
investment strategy yet, but he’s

concerned the market won’t
bounce back soon. And if the
Dow plunges sharply from here,
Sanchez says he may bail out
altogether. “I’m planning on
Tetiring in eight years,” says
Sanchez, 52. “I’ve seen bad
times before, but a heavy duty
war could bring havoc.”

Other investors are worried
about corporate earnings
disappointments that have been
cropping up in increased
numbers, along with the lower
earnings projections of many
former high-flyers.

Geoff Mayo concentrates the
bulk of his portfolio on a handful
of blue-chip consumer stocks
with steady earnings growth. He
has watched his whole portfolio
fall almost 20 percent the past
few weeks. Blue-chip growth
stocks were about the only safe-
looking arena this spring.
Traders swarmed into them
during the last-gasp rally,
pushing them up too far. So

Unified Germany still faces major divisions in culture

By James V. Higgins
(Berlin)

Berlin, an island of capitalism
in a previously communist sea,
has become the shopping capital
of Eastern Europe. The
differences across the border that
disappears Wednesday are stark
and won’t vanish with the
dividing line.

West Germany bustles and
glows with prosperity, while
East Germany is grey and old.
Streets and squares in East
Berlin are horribly polluted by
smoke-belching Trabant,
‘Wartburg and Lada cars.

The two Germanys are
“together but unequal,”
proclaims the news magazine
Der Speigel, saying that the
Easterners will be second-class
citizens for a while in the new
Germany.

But East Germans mostly
wear smiles while they adjust to
the blooming of capitalism.

“T believe the reunification is a
good thing, overall,” said
Claudia Leitzke, 21, as she
strolled across the
Alexanderplatz in East Berlin on
her way to work as a waitress.

“But it’s not all good.
Everything is more expensive
now.”

Heinz Mannsfeldt, a 58-year-
old East German police officer,
also finds events dizzying. “It’s
happening so quickly,” he said in
front of the old Berlin Town
Hall. i

“It’s difficult to say now

whether my life will be better
than before, although I can
certainly buy more things. I hope
the economic reforms come
about quickly here, and we’ll
just have to wait and see what

happens then,”
Asked if he still felt like an
East German, Mannsfeldt

replied: “I feel like a German.”

Nearby, signs of economic
unity literally hang on
storefronts. An old auto repair
garage sports a new
Volkswagen-Audi dealership
logo. Clothing boutiques have
opened along the famous Unter
den Linden street leading to the
Brandenburg Gate.

But Helmut Perl, a 19-year-
old sipping coffee at a mobile
snack bar near the East Berlin
Art Academy, doesn’t see
fancier shops as an important
reward of reunification. “The
point isn’t just to buy more,”
said the teen, wearing a leather
jacket and jeans. “There’s much
more to it than that.

“Now I can go West whenever
I want to. I can go there to study,
maybe even to America. That’s
the important thing.”

Soon after the Berlin Wall fell
last Nov. 9, hundreds of
thousands of East Germans used
their newfound liberty to travel
west.

In Frankfurt, Germany’s
business capital, they jammed
the broad square in front of the
Opera House to gaze at
capitalism’s wonders: streets

filled with Mercedes and BMW
cars, packed restaurants,
skyscrapers built by banks and
insurance companies, and
construction cranes erecting
more buildings in nearly every
direction.

Dieter Schneider, 46, said the
visitors were like monks and
nuns suddenly turned out of a
convent and forced to make a
life on their own. East
Germany’s communist
government was severe, but it
also promised that the people
would subsist, come what may.

“The East Germans will have
to find out that one’s living
doesn’t just fall from heaven,”
said Schneider, a taxi driver who
cited his life as a example of
cashing in on capitalism.

“T own my own cab. I work 14
hours a day, and therefore I have
more money than a lot of
others,” Schneider said in his
Mercedes 180E. “And that’s the
way it should be.”

Capitalism also shows its
uglier face in Frankfurt.

The main train station attracts

a nightly knot of homeless
people. Sullen young men and
women arrogantly block a
staircase, sitting with beer cans
in hand. Drugs are dealt and
taken more or less openly.

Another blot is created by
Germany’s skinhead movement,
neo-Nazis who oppose
unification and occasionally try
to intimidate people. This is
especially troubling to German
Jews, who see a kernel of danger
in unification.

Ernst Loewy, 70, lives in a
northwest Frankfurt apartment
crammed from floor to ceiling
with books.

He believes the steamroller of
unification travéled much too
fast.

“I don’t see the urgency,” said
the author and retired chief
researcher for West German
television. “Hurrying won’t help.
The main problem is not at all
German unification — it is
European unification. The
question of urgency to unify
Germany should be solved on a
Europe-wide basis.”

He fears that too much is
being promised to East Germans.
“Only a small part of it can
become real,” Loewy said. “For
a big part of the population,
nothing will come of their
hopes.”

But that’s not the only
objection. Loewy fled Nazi
Germany in 1936 and went to
Palestine, as Israel then was
called. But in 1956, he
reconsidered. Germany is his
homeland, the site of his mother
tongue and career opportunities.
So he returned to study, and he’s
now a specialist in literature.

From what he reads and sees,
nationalism and anti-Semitism
seem to be on the rise again in
the world.

“As a Jew I’m not happy
about reunification,” he said.
Loewy wonders whether East
Germans have “the same sense
of personal responsibility for the
horrors of World War II as their
Western kinsmen.

Survival of Yosemite National Park in question

By Don Vetter

Yosemite National Park enters
its second century next month,
but the celebration is colored
with an overriding question: In
the next 100 years, can the Sierra
Nevada treasure be saved from
its own popularity?

About 3.4 million visitors visit
the grand expanse every year,
which puts enormous pressure
on Abraham Lincoln’s mandate
to “conserve the scenery and the
natural and historical objects and
the wildlife therein, and to
provide for (their) enjoyment ...
for all future generations.”

Most of the dispute concerns
the 7-square-mile Yosemite
Valley, a temple of natural
wonder with few rivals, offering
everything from the delicacy of a
mountain meadow to the grand
view of El Capitan, a granite
monolith that rises more than
3,000 feet above the valley floor.

But each summer evening, the
valley becomes one of the
nation’s most densely packed
cities, with 12,000 overnight
guests bringing cars and
campfires and the need for
shelter, sewer systems, drinking
water, police protection and
food.

But the “marvelous
wonderland” of John Muir —
the Sierra Club founder who
lobbied for the park’s protection
— is still there, in the gentle
rainbow mists of Nevada Falls,
an early morning walk through a
meadow or an evening swim in
the Merced River.

Marion Knight, camping with
her husband and father-in-law at
North Pines in Yosemite Valley,
says, “Once you’ve been to
Yosemite, you know that it has
to
be protected for future
generations. There is something
about Yosemite that is good for
the soul. It’s important that we
have this and preserve this.”

But the park is not wearing
well. Many high country hikers
find trails have become foot-
deep grooves of sand. Several
times a year, air quality in the
valley falls below state health
standards.

The park experience of
yesteryear is further eroded
because of the cut in the
National Park Service budget.

Park Ranger Cherry Payne is
coordinating Yosemite’s
centennial plans for a low-key
affair. There is no need to attract
more visitors to the valley.

“There is this perception, right
or wrong, that Yosemite is very
crowded and busy,” Payne says.
“But it is very easy to get away,
to find a quiet place ... when
everything clicks together and
there is the phenomenal
harmony between me and the
world around me. I find those
moments in Yosemite.”

In 1980, the National Park
Service completed a general
management plan for Yosemite
with the help of more than 5,000
public comments.

The plan, the park service’s

third attempt, took five years.
The proposals would cost a little
more than $145 million.
Yosemite’s annual budget is
$13.8 million.

“Ten years have passed, and
very few of the large-ticket items
have been done yet,” says Don
Fox, a park service planner and
landscape architect. “The things
that are identified to make this
more of a park-like experience
are really a long way off. De-
emphasizing the automobile and
looking at satellite parking lots
for day users — next to none of
that has happened.

“Basically, all we have done is
say that we don’t know how to
solve the problem. I guess that’s
a step in the right direction.”

The Sierra Club and
organizations such as The
Wilderness Society say many of
the problems have been at least
aggravated by the park’s major
concessionaire, The Yosemite
Park and Curry Co,

Once a mom-and-pop hotel
operation that began in 1899, the
company teetered near
bankruptcy in the late 1960s.
After the company changed
hands twice, the entertainment
conglomerate Music Corporation
of America bought the

concession in 1973.

John Poimiroo, vice president
of communications for Yosemite
Park and Curry Co., says the
corporation is a victim of a

“smear campaign.”

“We see ourselves as the hotel
division of the park,” Poimiroo
says. “We are in a partnership
Telationship with the park
service. A lot of people have
criticized that relationship

because they feel that it is
inappropriate to be a private

which has consequently imparted a
bad reputation to your kind. Procure a

What gives? Why do you stand

fear retribution? If this is the case, fear
not. Do you really think we could pull
the plug on millions of your electronic

The soporific Death Warrant is the

most inane, useless piece of cinematic
refuse to ever grace the screen That’s
right, I said ever. It doesn’t begin to
encroach on the high standards set by
historical oeuvres like Plan 9 From
Outer Space or Attack of the Killer
Tomatoes — those revered cult films
that are best classified as bad-funny.
Death Warrant is bad-bad. I would
rather suffer through two hours of
Chuck Woolery’s Love Connection or
ingest ten pounds of salmonella
infested chicken or surf the gale force
winds of a hurricane in a dingy or
grapple fifteen rounds with Mike
Tyson, than have to endure watching it
again. If you think I’m kidding? I’m
not.

Clarence Eckerson

Taking center stage is Jean-Claude
Van Damme, the foreign kickboxing
import and star of such lightly
regarded works as Bloodsport and
Cyborg. If you haven’t seen Mr. Van
Damme in action, envision a well built,

then your roles border on the farcical
or idiotic. For example, the Abbot and
Costello comedy relief of the bumbling
pair of droids in the Star Wars trilogy
or the annoying, input crazy Johnny
Five of Short Circuit fame:

I realize it must be tough.
Meaty, respectable roles like the tender
hearted Bishop’ (played by the
underrated and unapprecia.ed Lance
Henriksen) of Aliens are hard to come
by (The underlying reason being that
we of the flesh and blood have
developed and apprehensive angst to
your super intelligence and
conceivable immortality). We are
uncomfortable with the achievements
we have earned together because we
realize that we could not have
accomplished then on our own. You
have travelled through the vacuums of
space and past the outer perimeter of
our solar system, you can probe into
the bowels of our bodies and cure us of
deadly maladies, and you can seal a
parcel faster and more efficiently than
us without requiring a respite or
vacation. But -to- us you're
nothing but a:slave.

This big philosophical tirade
provides a neat little segue to your
latest film, Hardware, another of those
Road Warrior wannabe films that puts
bales of plastic bags and old television
sets to good use and calls it set design.
Beneath its neon vermillion sky,
Hardware paints a dim glimpse of the
future where the discourse centers on
the byproducts of nuclear war; namely,
cancer, death, starvation, and
oppressive heat. Once again, the villain
is composed of cold prosthetics, iron
circuits, and a cobalt heart. The robot's
name is Mark 13, a lethal machine
developed by the army to combat over
population. Ironically, the day is
Christmas and a desert warrior, Mo
(Dylan McDermott) unknowingly
gives his on-again, off-again (literally)
squeeze, Jill (Stacey Travis) a
dismantled, but still functional
prototype of the Mark 13 as a gift. Jill is

an artist at heart, and her hobby is
assembling myriad pieces of waste into
twisted sculptures. She immediately
seizes the ominous head of the Mark
13, adorns it with the colors and stars

of Old Glory, and uses it as the
centerpiece of her latest project. But
one evening while asleep, the robot
mends itself together and traps her
within her apartment, and its up to Mo
and his supporting cast to save her
from death by lethal injection,

I know you will try to
rationalize being beguiled into playing
the heavy in Hardware. You will say
you needed the work and that at least
the script allowed you to vent some of
your frustrations by killing a few
humans in route to earning a paycheck.
You may add titillatingly that you even
got to tangle with the scantily clad,

A Damme Cliche

good-looking French guy who thinks
he is a talented smorgasbord of Sly
Stallone, Bruce Lee, and Charles
Bronson. Funny, he isn’t half the actor
any of them are.

In Death Warrant, he plays an
undercover cop sent to a state
penitentiary to investigate why nearly
a dozen apparently hale inmates have
died suspiciously. The large prison is
an inner city microcosm; its’ denizens
look like characters lifted from Escape
From New York. These hard line
criminals freely brandish guns and
knives, do massive amounts of drugs
in open areas, and one guy — the token
black ringleader — even has his own
harem and telephone in the basement!
These guys could order out Chinese
and the inept guards would probably
invite the delivery boy in for his death.

The plot of Death Warrant is
designed exclusively to showcase Van
Damme’s bravado and athletic skill. It
has a sketchy, raw draft feel to it: like a
handful of grossly uncreative
screenwriters brainstormed (for about
all of thirty seconds) and came up with
the combat scenes first. The rest was
hastily penciled in (or ad libbed) later.

Most glaring is that the action
sequences are suffering from a lack of
energy and genuine spontaneity. This
inability to fulfil Death Warrant’s chief
attraction — macho brawling — only
further highlights its’ other gross
inadequacies. And Van Damme’s
deadpan mode and monotone delivery
does nothing to invigorate the story.
His biggest weakness is that he
believes he can charm the audience
with this coy reticence. As a hero, he
has little appeal. Very little.

Ultimately, the real blame lies with
Van Damme’s technicians who afford
him little support, The staged fighting
the choreographers use resemble
cliched clips from the A-Team. The
stunt victims are no better, standing at
attention in the shadows like human
bowling pins, awaiting their turn to be
struck with a glancing blow from Van
Damme’s lethal appendage. :

Just how abysmal does Death
Warrant become? Try this: In one
scene, of Van Damme’s inmate allies is
axed to death, and he kneels next to the
supposedly lifeless body. Yet, in the
foreground you can see the cadaver’s

shapely Travis in a shower stall.
Furthermore, you may try to explain
that Hardware, especially in the early
going, was making a very serious stab
at classic science-fiction drama, which I
admit is true.

But these excuses don’t change
the fact that Hardware is one long,
predictable bore. The camera angles
aren’t flattering to you at all. Even with
the cliched strobe light blinking away
in your attack scenes, your menacing
motions are static and lethargic. The
special effects by Image Animation are
atrocious. However, I doubt even
Roger Corman could develop a fully
dexterous menace on a scant $1.5
million budget. From now on if you
decide to play the antagonist, choose
your roles more carefully. Terminator
was pure excitement, and the stoic

- HAL provided a good role model for
: young computers breaking into the

business. Hardware’ was a career
blunder. It only bypassed the jump to
theaters thanks to a much publicized
battle with the MPAA over an initial X
branding.

One other suggestion: Brush
up on your acting. You're beginning to
hesitate too much - your starting to act
human! In Hardware, your prime
directive was to kill, so each time you
supposedly die (there are many false
endings), you logically shouldn’t wait
for a lull in the action before
unleashing your next attack. You
should be unrelenting, you are not
supposed to give your co-stars or the
audience the common courtesy of a
break in the action. Remember, you are
a robot! You run on your batteries until
they are exhausted. Got it?!

I just hope some of this got
through to your CPU. |

P.S. Good luck in Terminator 2. You'll
need it. ies

chest rising and falling at regular

of the Breathing Corpse — the lazy
actor who finds so much discomfort in
holding his breath for ten seconds that
he ruins the shot.

Amid the desultory story and pell-
mell rhetoric, Death Warrant manages
to insult just about every demographic
group within its grab. Forget that Van
Damme and the two central black
Players work together to start a prison
uprising against the corrupt hypocrisy.
That is all one big front. In its’
shameless reliance on stereotypes,
Death Warrant parodies blacks, whites,
Hispanics, prison guards, wardens,
males, females, and nerds. I didn’t
even find any humor in watching
Robert Guillame (star of televisions

To continue to highlight the

The self-titled album and first

American release from the Dublin-
based band Into Paradise is
refreshingly simple. Their pre-synth-
hype style, led by singer David Long,
relies on guitar-driven melodies and
personal lyrics to deliver its clean
sound.

Anyone who’s experienced
the tragedies of love will appreciate
“Closer,” a melancholy song about
being engulfed by someone (“She
brings me closer still/She gives me
nightmares that won't end”).
Following in the same somber vein is
“Change,” with its brooding images
of falling into a rut and trying to
escape — “Your day begins like the
day before/Just step outside? Take a

Blues (another Bochco creation) was
made by Andrew Lloyd Weber. This
is a show that almost everyone is
curious about and skeptical of. The
question is: Is it any good? The
answer is “yes.” If you view the
show’s two elements separately, both
stand quite well on their own. The
drama aspect is very good. The show
was created by Bochco and William
M. Finkelstein, both from LA Law
fame. The pilot was produced and
directed by Gregory Hoblit, who also
directed the LA Law pilot and several
episodes. So, it’s not wonder that the
drama aspect reminds one of LA Law.
(In fact, the court room scenes look
exactly like the popular legal drama.)

The musical numbers are also pretty
good. The songs for the pilot and the
theme were written by Randy
Newman, who shows a broad range
here, writing rap, gospel, do-wop, etc.
The songs are actually pretty good.
Future musical numbers will be
written by a staff of five songwriters
headed up by Mike Post, who has
written the themes for LA Law,
Donahue, Hill Street Blues, Wiseguy,
Doogie Howser, and millions of other
shows. Under his supervision, I’m
sure future songs will be just as good.

So, the ingredients are good;
however, when they’re mixed
together does the final product taste
as good? I think so. Granted, it’s a

Not Just 4 Flash in the Pan

producers tace three big problems:
1) Finding a convincing
actor/actress. 2) Making a
convincing costume. 3) Creating
convincing special effects. Well, The
Flash producers have cast John
Wesley Shipp in the main role. He
plays the character very straight and
does a great job. He’s convincing.
The producers have reportedly
spent several million dollars on both
the costume and the effects. In fact,
this show is supposedly the most
expensive Warner Bros. has ever
produced. It seems that they got
their money’s worth. Both costume
and effects look very good. (The
costume is a “Flash equivalent” to
the costume Michael Keaton wore in
Batman.) In short, the costume and
the effects are very convincing. The
entire show is very faithful to the
Flash comic book tradition. The
writers have taken some of the best
elements of all three Flashes (if you

look at yourself? Just step outside
and change.”

Not to worry that this band
takes itself too seriously, though. The
second side launches into “Hearts and
Flowers,” an upbeat, optimistic ditty
(“There’s a little piece of me/in a little
piece of you.”) about the lighter side
of love. In the effervescent “Heaven,”
Long repeatedly moans the title,
leaving no uncertainty about his state
being due, of course, toa woman.

Into Paradise is looking
forward, on their next album, to
paring down their sound even more
and achieving a perfect connection
between their recordings and live
performances. Given their diverse
musical talents, the band should be
able to find and stay in a niche in the
American music industry.

require another article) and created
a hybrid that should work well on
TV and is interesting to boot. So, if
the producers were able to get over
what are probably the three biggest
hurdles in making a comic book
television show what's the problem?
In a word: The writing and the
directing. By the time this article
sees print, the pilot and one regular
episode will have aired (or erred,
depending on your opinion). Both
shows suffer from mediocre scripts

The Pixies
Bossanova
4AD
What's the new Pixies album like?

When I asked this question of the
people I knew who already had the
record, the general reply I recieved
was, “Well, it’sd no Dolittle.” “That's
not fair,” I said to myself. “You
should judge works of art objectively
and independantly, not through
comparisons to other works.” With
this standard of criticism in mind, I
got my pathetic ass down to ERL
Records and picked up Bossanova,
the band’s latest release.

Well, it’s no Dolittle.

While many of the songs follow a
formula previously established by
Pixies composer Black Francis, the
group’s approach to presenting the
songs has changed dramatically from
their last album. They seem to have
abandoned much of _ the
charming/goddamn weird quirkiness
that characterized their previous
work in favor of a balls-out, full-
speed-ahead attack. Gone is the
roller-coaster of dynamics that made
their sound so innovative. Gil
Norton’s wall-of-slick-guitar-noise
production nearly destroys the
contrasting interplay of Joey
Santiago’s and Black Francis’
fretwork. Subtlety has apparently
been abandoned for impact, but the
constant state of overdrive becomes

lot to get used to. The viewer truly
has to suspend his/her disbelief
when a jury delivers it’s verdict in
rousing gospel: “He’s guilty, guilty
guilty. / You can see it in his eyes. /
He did the crime and now he’s got to
pay. / He's guilty, guilty, guilty. / We
have seen through all his lies. / The
time as come to put this boy away.”
It’s not easy, but if you can do it for a
Broadway play, you should be able to
do it for a TV show. It’s a concept
that won’t appeal to everyone, but it’s
done so well that it’s worth a look-
see. It may be a crazy concept, but
the execution is very good.

and slipshod directing. ‘he pilot,
for example, featured the Flash
gaining his powers and fighting a
biker gang.

Basically, this show does have a lot
of potential. It has good actors,
good costumes, and good effects. It
is based on an interesting comic
book character. It has the potential
for an interesting romantic triangle
between the Flash (aka Barry Allen),
his girlfriend, and Tina McGee, his
partner. Maybe the Flash can

improve. Maybe it just needs time
to....get up to speed.

deadening over the course of an
entire album.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. The
record’s not all that bad. The Pixies
are so unique that their most fervent
strivings for mediocrity would stil
result in something 61/2 cuts above
the bland pap that passes for music
today. A certain amount of
idiosynchrasy is inherent in the band.
“Is She Weird” is the most direct
descendant of Dolittle, and best
displays their penchant for melding
quirkiness with catchiness. And the
closing “Havalina” manages a surreal
combination of beautiful and
disturbing, a piece that would be
perfectly at home in a DAvid Lynch
film. There's still no fear of the Pixies
being confused for New Kids on the
Block.

Wiyth its heightened level of
accessability, Bossanova will no doubt
score the band a legion of new fans
and at least begin to impose a Pixies
awareness upon the general
population (something which, if there
were any justice in the world, would
have happened with Surfer Rosa).
Hopefully, in the future, the band will
come across a more rewarding

of-freaks bizarreness.

Central Council circus
sinks to new levels

Central Council is once again beginning
to resemble a three ring circus.

The legislative branch of the Student
Association is spending more time
arguing about what type of arguing should
be allowed than on real issues that affect
students. This was exemplified in
Wednesday's seven hour marathon
meeting.

RING #1-

The council spent nearly an hour and a
half deciding the fate of a bill that stated
that council members should respect one
another and not make personal attacks.
This, of course, led some members of
council to state that the bill in itself was a
personal insult to certain council
members.

Sound confusing? Inane would be a
better term.

How can a group possibly be effective if
they need to even think about putting
down in writing legislation that calls for
courtesy to fellow members.

RING #2-

A finance bill was voted not to be heard
since it was not received within the
councils aging requirement. According to
Central Council Chair Jeff Luks, the bill
was on time but was dropped on the floor
and not found in time to fulfill the
requirement. This prompted the bills
author, Harry Jos, to make an extra point
attempt out of a chair.

RING #3-

The council debated policy changes for
nearly four hours. This was highlighted by
a passed bill that changes terms and
spelling in policy. The word "women"
will now be spelled "womyn,” to "take the
men out of women." "Religion will now
be referred to as "religion/creed.”

Is this really necessary?

There is no doubt that there are some
qualified, dedicated students on council.
Instead of using up energy arguing about
logistics, council needs to spend time
dealing with real concerns.

It's time to put away the egos and
personal vendetas and get down to
business.

The Student Association is funded by
the students. They don't want’ to see their
money go to waste.

University needs stricter smoking enforcement

When I walk through the halls outside the L.C.'s of this
great university, I am consistently disgusted. Not only
does it seem that every other person standing around has
got a "butt" hanging out of his or her mouth, but there are
an equal number of these disgusting instruments of slow
suicide strewn on the ground.

Jeffrey Budzynski

It's not that I don't respect their right to smoke,
(although I don't respect them for smoking, since it's a
rather stupid habit to let oneself pick up) but they don’t
belong smoking in a posted NO SMOKING area. That
brings me to the heart of what is really wrong here.

People are going to do whatever they find themselves
able to get away with. If the university administration
doesn't realize this, well, maybe it can get someone from
the psychology department to clue it in. Then what it
should do is have the guts, or at least the organization, to
enforce the policies that it has stipulated so proudly all
over the L.C.'s and in the Campus Center. (Ever sit, as a
non-smoker, outside the Food Co-op? Betcha can't do it
without gagging.)

It would seem ludicrous if the university put up speed
limit signs along Perimeter Road without having a police
force to see to it that they are obeyed. Yet, this is pretty
much what is going on with regard to smoking. (And
someone smoking in a prohibited area is more likely to
offend a lot of people than someone doing 45 m.p.h. in a
30 m.p.h. zone is.)

In the case of what is legally permitted, the populace

should know by now that there is a New York state law
against smoking in many areas. The Campus Center is
most assuredly one of those areas. (This is evident, in
case anyone is wondering, by the signs posted at or
about eye level all over the place.) There's an interesting
question raised when one mentions legality on a college
campus. There is certainly a law that prohibits smoking
in many public places, but the university is sorely
lacking where enforcing it is concerned. Why, then, does

What I would like to see,
however, are personnel whose
job it is to stop the rampant
proliferation of smoking on
and around the podium. It is,
after all, illegal.

the university enforce such a stringent policy against
academic dishonesty, when there is not a state law to be
found that makes it illegal?

I mean that, of course, as a rhetorical question. I
wouldn't want to see a bulletin announcing that SUNYA
has decided to put up with cheating. What I would like to
see, however, are personell whose job it is to stop the
rampant proliferation of smoking on and around the
podium, It is, after all, illegal.

Segration, integration and

cultural plurality

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to Dan Marsh's editorial
column “Don't segregate: integrate and live together." If I
had not written a response to such ignorant statements
concerning my culture, I would have to resign as Pharaoh
of the Albany State University Black Alliance (ASUBA).

First of all, Mr. Marsh, if you want "our children" to
"be fair" and “judge not by the color of skin," try
referring to people on the basis of culture. If you tell
children “don't judge black people by their skin color,”
how will that erase prejudice? What will they judge by?
(See the contradiction?) It is immistakable that I am a
black man, but more so I am an African with a particular
cultural heritage.

Mr. Marsh stated, “As long as a group continues to be
identified as a collective, not as individuals, prejudice
will exist." How? African culture is grounded in the
concept of a "collective consciousness." We embrace the
philosophy "I am because we are; and because we are,
therefore I am," (Mbiti, 1970). We respect the uniqueness
of the individual self as a component of the collective.
Must we adopt this Either/Or philosophy to integrate? I
thought you said, Mr. Marsh, that we (minorities) would
not have to lose our identities,

Mr. Marsh also stated, “The solution to the prejudice
problem is fairness. Not justice as perceived by a
committee." Correct me if I am wrong, but what's the
difference? How can a just man not be fair, and how can
a fair man not be just?...Only i. America. Hmmm,
fairness on the basis of "observable competence." Who
determines what "competence" is? The power group
which views everything from a Euro-Anglo male
perspective. So in order to “integrate and live together," I

must adhere to Euro-Anglo male standards, values and
perceptions. All too often to integrate means to
assimilate at the expense of losing one's culture for
inclusion into the dominant culture. On those grounds, I
tefuse!

Mr. Marsh indicted EOP, diversity requirements, and
freshman quotas as promoting prejudice on this campus
based on his "psych class" last year and claimed "In
short, nearly anything designed to help minorities,
instead of just people, is prejudiced and causes more
prejudice." Freshman quotas or any other type of quota
system with regard to higher education was made illegal
by the Bakke v. U.C. (Davis) Supreme Court ruling. If
SUNYA is using this practice, Mr. Marsh, you have
grounds for suit. The Educational Opportunities Program
state-wide has many more students of European descent
than of African, Asian, or Latino/Hispanic descent. So I
guess your erroneous unfounded claim holds no water
and I will not let it pass unscathed. Diversity
requirements “promote prejudice" and don't benefit all
people? If we are all human before anything else, doesn't
learning about the diversity of people different
(culturally) from ourselves benefit humans?

If there is no doubt that the human race is the only
race, then why do we use terms like "race" to classify
people inside the same race? Hmmm. Integrate into the
dominant culture and live together - never! But we could
live together in a culturally pluralistic society. One day,
everyone will appreciate and be cognizant of each others’
culture, history (not His-Story) will be placed in its
rightful perspective, and everyone will be able to love
together peacably. Until that day, we have to destroy the
myths, fallacies, lies, stereotypes and other chains of
mental enslavement that form barriers in our path.

In reference to your song:

“What color is God's skin?

I said it's black, brown, it is yellow and it's white.
Every man's the same in the good Lord's sight."

(You left out red) God is a spirit, not a man; he has no
skin.

I do not wish to engage in a paper war. However, Mr.
Marsh, we could arrange forums on these issues and
discuss their impact on our campus. I am very easy to
contact,

-Sincerely,

"Sexism?" No- just profit
To the Editor:

This letter is in response to "Why is sexism invading
the Rathskel...er...McDuff's??" in the September 28, 1990
issue of the ASP.

I would like to see these four "offended" students
lighten up a bit. Not only is it time to respect women, it is
time for you to realize that the advertising industry, as
well as all creations of Hollywood, are geared towards
the male gender. It has been as such for a long time, and
it appears it will stay. In addition, the girl in the poster
was not threatened, drugged, or had a gun pointed at her
head. She is a model trying to earn a living. Her job is to
attract the males’ eyes in order to sell the product. And
don't tell me that when you are walking through the mall
and see a picture of a toned, tan, dark and half-naked
male model, you don't stop to take a second look. That is
the purpose of such posters, and the sex appeal is a very
successful means of doing so.

This idea of "stupid black," “lazy hispanics," and
"greedy Jews" posters appearing is ludicrous. I have
never seen such stereotypes publicized and obviously by
making those actions, you are the ones who are
degrading races and religions to even think such things.

I think you should relax and concentrate on other
things, at this institution of higher learning, than a poster
in McDuff's.

I think women are respected more now than ever. I
respect them to the fullest. I am an army cadet and many
of my superiors are women, who are respected. If you
want to be respected, then make people want to respect
you. After something as ridiculous as this, I think you are
far from it. Please try to have an open mind and not
become part of those radical groups that drive the public
crazy. Just like this whole crazy record production
mayhem. Just remember the first amendment...

Does Guinness Day= Activism???
To the Editor:

While leafing through the Friday, September 28 issue
of the ASP, I was annoyed when I noticed that three full
pages had been used to advertise "Guinness Day."
Guinness Day is an activity which, according to this
advertisement, was established so that SUNYA would no
longer be considered an apathetic university. C'mon,
guys, does anyone really believe that a campus wide
game of “Simon Sez" (in which less than 20% of the
student participates) would prove that our campus is not
apathetic? I call this attempt pathetic. There is so much
going on in the world today, but our campus seems to
think that partying and Greek life are all that is important
to college life. If we are to be the future leaders of the
nation it is necessary to get involved now. There are
groups on campus associated with just about every issue
in the news, and it is unfortunate that these groups rarely
get greater than twenty people at their meetings. Please
help our campus gain a new title for itself.

U.S. Supreme Court begins new term

(Washington)
The Supreme Court opens its term
Monday with 57 cases already on its
docket. Here are some of the key issues
the court will consider:
*Women in the workplace: Female
workers at Johnson Controls Inc. battery
factories are challenging company policy
that bars women of child-bearing age
from jobs that pay better but expose
workers to lead. As many as 20 million
jobs could be closed to women.
Companies contend that high punitive
damage awards levied against them by
juries violate the Constitution. Could lead
to cap on million-dollar verdicts.

*School desegregation: Oklahoma City
case could define when a school district
can claim success in ending bias at school
and when the supervision of federal
judges can be removed. Roughly 500
school districts are under judges’
desegregation orders.

Abortion counseling: Family planning
clinics, claiming their free speech rights
are at stake, protest federal rules that bar
counseling about abortions in programs
that receive federal funds. Could turn into
abortion rights battle. Currently, the only

abortion case on docket.

*Capital punishment: Lawyers for
mentally impaired Louisiana death row
inmate Michael Perry claim his
constitutional rights are violated if state
medicates him for sole purpose of making
him competent to be executed.

«Mandatory sentencing: Michigan
defendant Ronald Harmelin is challenging
fairness of state law that requires life
imprisonment for possession of more than
650 grams of cocaine. Case could spur
stiffer sentences for drug crimes.

Savings and loan crisis: Texas banker
Thomas Gaubert is suing federal
government claiming that failure of thrift
institution resulted from negligence by
federal regulators. Government claims
suit could lead to “enormous and
unpredictable” claims against regulators.

Labor: Professors at Ferris State College
in Big Rapids, Mich., challenge the use of
their fees paid to faculty union for
lobbying and strike preparations. Could
hurt unions’ ability to collect fees for
bargaining from non-union members.

Confessions: Arizona murderer Oreste
Fulminante challenges the state’s use at
trial of a confession he made. He
confessed to the murder of his
stepdaughter, Jeaneane, to a fellow inmate
— a police informant — while in prison
for another crime.

Neil Bush stands his ground in savings-loan scandal

By John Hanchett
(Denver)

Through almost four hours of
cross examination Thursday, an
combative Neil Bush stood by
his position that conflict-of-
interest charges against him as
director of a failed thrift are
meaningless.

With his wife, Sharon, looking
on and nodding approval from
the courtroom’s front row, the
feisty presidential son sparred
with attorney Stephen
Hershkowitz at almost every
question,

Hershkowitz is a lawyer for
the Office of Thrift Supervision,
the Treasury Department agency
bringing the charges against
Bush.

Bush, 35, who quit as a
director of Silverado Banking,
Savings and Loan in August
1988 — four months before the
thrift failed at a cost of $1 billion
to taxpayers — drew frequent
admonitions from administrative
law judge Daniel J. Davidson to
quit making speeches and
<livering legal interpretations.

Bush specifically and
repeatedly denied the three
government charges:

— That he voted to approve
$104 million in Silverado loans
to Denver developer Bill L.
Walters, a partner in Bush’s oil
exploration firm, without
revealing his true relationship
with Walters.

— That he failed to disclose
that his business might profit
from a $900,000 Silverado line
of credit he arranged for another
Denver developer, Kenneth
Good, who had lent Bush money
he didn’t have to pay back.

— That he failed to disclose he
stood to gain financially when
the board approved letting Good
out of $11.5 million in Silverado
loan obligations in exchange for
$3 million in cash.

Bush, who received $12,000 a
year as director and an additional
$10,000 in meeting fees,
abstained from voting on the
latter two transactions.

Bush said he applied the
“Smith smell test” to his
relationships with both Walters

and Good. That, he explained,
“was the test I used if someone
approached with possible sinister
motives or political reasons —
I'd always ask if my name were
Smith, would I be getting this
offer?” He said both men passed,
and that neither asked him for
favors on the board.

Bush claimed he told Silverado
President and Chairman Michael
R. Wise that Walters and Good
“were joint investors in my
partnership” despite listing
“None” on conflict-of-interest
notification statements the S&L
passed out to directors.

“My loyalty to Silverado was
never impaired by my
relationship with Bill Walters,”
Bush insisted. “I had no financial
gain, period. So there was no
conflict, and no need for
disclosure.”

Bush revealed Good eventually
bought out Walters’ share in the
oil firm because the two
developers had a personal fight
over Walters’ 1985 divorce.

Bush claimed previous
testimony by Silverado loan

officer Russell Murray was
wrong. Murray had claimed
Bush did not adequately disclose
his affiliation with Good in a
proposed Argentina oil and
natural gas exploration that was
to be funded with the $900,000
line of credit.

The credit line was never
intended to be funded or drawn
upon, Bush said. It was simply
listed as a letter of credit to the
Argentine government, he said.

“I never would have brought
the deal to Silverado if I knew it
was to be funded,” Bush said. “I
know it sounds bizarre — like
complete and utter nonsense. But
it was a bells-and-whistles
process,”

Bush conceded he knew the
line of credit would push Good
over Silverado’s “internal policy
limit” of never lending anyone
more than 40 percent of the\
thrift’s net worth. Good already
owed the S&L $31.7 million. In
the end, he and Walters defaulted
on $130 million in Silverado
loans, helping push it into
bankruptcy.

Bush noted the federal
government’s mid-1980s
relaxation of thrift regulations
actually allowed any S&L to
loan 100 percent of net worth if
it wanted.

At the conclusion of the three-
day hearing, Judge Davidson
explained the lengthy and
arduous timetable for document-
filing and submission of briefs
that remains. Davidson probably
won’t make a recommendation
in the case until February, and
then OTS Director Timothy
Ryan, who makes the final
decision, has until mid-May to
do so. After that, Bush has three
months to appeal,

To some in the courtroom, it
seemed like a long and
expensive way to go for the
government’s goal: to get Bush
to concede to the conflicts and
Promise he won’t engage in them
again, or else be barred from
working in a federally insured
bank or thrift.

“The OTS is just looking for a
big political name to embarrass,”
Charles Pickett, former federal
banking regulator who testified
for Bush, said. “It’s a political
crucifixion.”

Bush faces more serious
trouble from a $200 million civil
lawsuit filed a week ago in
federal court here. The suit
names Bush, Wise, and several
of their colleagues as allowing
“gross negligence” in misusing
deposits.

Continued from front page
trespassing in their backyard, and
although it “may seem picky” they said
that after endless nights of the same
problems being repeated over and over,
they have to start somewhere.

“If enough kids hear about the
arrests, maybe they’ll stop” Mr.
DeMartino said. “At the same time
we're the only people arresting, but in
time other neighbors probably will,
too,” he said . “It’s too bad, you’d
think all the student’s would like to
keep their neighborhood nice, but only
some do,” he said.

The neighbors said there is a definite
split between the students who care and
those who do not. According to the
DeMartino’s, “All the kids who go to
that school (SUNYA) are going to be
somebody-lawyers, doctors, the future
teachers of your kids. Probably 90% of
them are damn good kids, but that other
10%...When you see a man who can
stand in front of a woman and display
himself like that you look at him and
say ‘Is he going to be our next Supreme
Court Justice; when it comes down to
voting on women having any rights
when he can look at her now as a piece
of garbage?”

The DeMartino’s and other area
neighbors said what they hope to
accomplish-a safer, cleaner, more
comfortable neighborhood-will not be
established without waging an uphill
battle in which the sides and numbers
are grossly mismatched. The neighbors
said they have several ideas they would
like to see implemented, including
having cops “on the beat” to ensure that
laws are being enforced, and having the
uptown SUNYA campus provide more

activities on campus so that students
don”t need to “raise hell downtown to
vent their frustrations,” they said.

“On campus there are rules students
live by, but when they come downtown
the University washes it’s hands of
them,” Lederman said.

Describing scenes form catching
students in the driveway “doing it” to
witnessing a young man in the yard so
drunk that his “bowels let loose” before
his pants were even down, Mr.
DeMartino said he wonders, “Is this
type of person the University wants at
it’s school?”

While neighbors in the affected area
said they realize change may not come
soon, they said thy hope enough people
will realize what they are doing, and
maybe that will make some difference,
whether by scaring off would-be
offenders with the threat of arrest or
persuading people to take better care of
their environment.

“We've all gone out and raise hell in
our lives, but it doesn’t have to be at
anyone else’s expense.” Mr. DeMartino
said. “If everyone has just a little
respect for each human being, it just
keeps going along and people really
start helping other people. Suddenly
we don’t have half the problems we
used to have, and all it took was a little
care and respect for each other,” he
said.

Holyfield looking to lose ‘other guy’ label

By Joe Santoro

RENO, Nev. — At least
Evander Holyfield knows who
he is. On the back of his T-
shirt last week while he trained
next to the quarter slots at
Bally’s was the
phrase “The Other Guy.”

Buster Douglas is the

unlikely 1969 New York Mets-
like champion. Mike Tyson is
a former Husband of the Year
and the best fighter in the
world. George Foreman is the
idol of everyone who’s ever
collected all the McDonald’s
Happy
Meal toys. And Evander
Holyfield is the other guy.

“That’s all he is right now,”
trainer Lou Duva said. “But
that’s all right with us. When
we become champion, then
he’s ‘The Real Deal.”

That’s Holyfield’s other
nickname. Ah, boxing.
Nobody will remember you if
all you have is the name mom
and pop gave you. And
Holyfield has endless
possibilities.

He can have shirts that read:
“T’m a Buster-Buster” or “The
only robins I’ve
whistled at are in trees” or
“The Real Deal doesn’t need
Deal-A-Meal.”

Sorry, just trying to help.
Holyfield needs a better P.R.
guy. After all, this is the only
guy — Mike, Buster and
George included — who
hasn’t lost a pro fight. And the
nickname, “The Other Guy” is
nothing to be proud of. Just

ask Michael Dukakis and
Walter Mondale.

Like those Democratic
runner-ups, Holyfield needs a
big victory. All along, he was
supposed to be the guy to melt
Tron Mike. He knows he can
beat all the Buster Douglases
in the world; it doesn’t mean
anything until he beats Tyson.
Beating Douglas will give him
a heavyweight title. Beating
Tyson will give him respect.

“T need to fight him,” said
Holyfield, who will train at
Bally’s daily except
Sundays until a week before
his Oct. 25 Las Vegas meeting
with Douglas.

“Winning the heavyweight
title wouldn’t be complete
without beating him.”

Holyfield and Duva aren’t
worried about Douglas. Not
really. “The bottom line is that
my guy will wear him down in
the later rounds and win
easily,” Duva said.

He isn’t the only one who

thinks so. This is one
challenger who is no
underdog.

“I’m going to have to go out

there and fight a smart fight,”
Holyfield said.
“T have to use my quickness
and fight a faster fight than
he’s used to.” And wear him
down. Douglas isn’t even
supposed to be in shape yet.

While he was talking to
Dave, Arsenio, Bryant and
Johnny and proving the
heavyweight champ doesn’t
have to ram his car into trees
to get attention, Holyfield was

working out.

“We're already in shape,”
Duva said. “This is our first
(week) in Reno, but
Evander has been in Houston
the last six weeks working out.
The other guy is
out of shape. We’re just fine-
tuning.”

Holyfield didn’t want to
comment on Douglas’ physical
condition. He has too
much respect for the champ.
And it’s a genuine respect.

This is no Barry Switzer
praising Kansas before
Saturday’s big game.

“He proved he has what it
takes,” Holyfield said. “He
fought a beautiful
fight (against Tyson). I’m not
going to take away anything
he accomplished.”

It will be a different story
Oct. 25. Holyfield plans to
take two things away from
Douglas — his championship
and a rematch title bout with
Tyson, though Douglas-Tyson
II would mean millions even if
the two of them had nothing to
win but a free weekend at The
Mirage.

Holyfield-Douglas is
interesting, but it will be a bit
like watching this year’s
National League
Championship Series. They’re
only staging the thing to see
who gets to lose his title belt to
Tyson. Tyson’s the Oakland
Athletics of boxing. Holyfield
and Douglas are the Cincinnati
Reds.

“Both of these guys

Rookie of the year up for grabs

(Holyfield and Douglas) don’t
have the charisma of a
Foreman or Tyson,” Duva
said, “but this is going to be a
hell of a fight in the ring.”

That won’t cut it, Lou.
Charisma is what we want.

Duva and Holyfield say they

aren’t too upset that Douglas
knocked off Tyson,
though that upset robbed
Holyfield of a fight with Tyson
afew months ago.
“Douglas’ win cost us about
$3 million and about eight
inches,” Duva said, referring
to the smaller purse and
Douglas’ height advantage
over Tyson.

But Duva and Holyfield
should be smiling inside. The
toad to the championship is
much easier now that the belt
isn’t around Tyson's gut.

“T’m not concerned who my

next fight will be after
Douglas,” Holyfield said.
“All along all I’ve ever wanted
was to be the champ. I don’t
care who I have to beat to get
there. My goal is to be the
champ, not to beat Tyson.

“And when I become champ,
Tyson will have to come to
me. I won’t have to go to him
for a fight.”

First, though, he’s going to
have to become a Buster-

Buster before he can take off Drake.

Tennis team has
a bright future as
freshmen shine

by Rob Permutt

This past Tuesday, the Albany State men’s|
tennis team defeated Siena college 8-0 in al
dual match. The victory raised the Danes|
record to 5-2.

Playing against a weak team, Albany did|
not use their top four players. This gave}
[Danes Coach Bob Lewis a chance to give|
several freshmen playing experience.

Albany’s future appeared bright as|
freshmen Steve Cohen and Matt Presser,
both won their first college singles|
matches. Fellow freshman Paul Malec was
[just as impressive. Malec defeated Chris|
Drake in straight sets 6-0, 6-0.

“We have a good team, with a lot of
seniors. I was happy to get a chance to play
land prove myself”, Presser said about his'
match.

In the other singles matches, Brian
'Worobery defeated Mark Brenner, Adam|
Addelston defeated John Gerardi and co-
captain Andy McGoey defeated Lorenzo!
Azzi.

In doubles, Brian Worobery and Adam|
Addleston defeated Matt Brenner and John
(Cavanaugh. In the other doubles match the’
all freshmen team of Steve Cohen and Matt
Presser defeated Justin Murphy and Chris,

Albany Coach Bob Lewis was very happy,
with the match, “It was a good match. A lot
lof players gained experience. Everyone’
performed well,” Lewis said.

The Danes next match is home , today
against Division I Army at 3:00.

Albany Ruggers run record to

By Michael Paolerico

CINCINNATI — Last winter, Hep Cronin
made a prediction. This summer, it may be
coming true.

Now a full-time scout with the Atlanta
Braves, he said David Justice, if given the
opportunity, would be the National League’s
Rookie of the Year.

It hasn’t happened yet and it won’t be
announced officially until November, but
Justice is leaving a highly competitive field in
the vapor trails of his home run power surge.

“I based that on watching him when he came
up last September and he hit the ball well off
the (Mike) Scotts and the (Orel) Hershisers,”
Cronin said. “It (his prediction) looks all right
now.”

“T came up last September and hit well, and
started thinking that I couldplay up here,” he
said.

Justice returned after an injury, he started
out hot, but cooled a bit when the Braves tried
to work him in at first base. He had never
played the position before.

Since the All-Star break, however, Justice
slowly made his presence known. Then on
Aug. 4, the Braves traded Dale Murphy to the
Philadelphia Phillies — and the 25-year-old
began to exploded.

After going 0-for-4 in his first start after the
bombshell deal, he has batted .343 (61-for-178)
with 19 homers and 44 RBI. He has hit 22
homers since the All-Star break — the most by
any major leaguer. He was named National
League Player of the Month for August.

“Here’s a rookie leading the entire major
leagues in homers since the All-Star break,”
Cronin said. “I don’t see how he can’t be
Rookie of the Year.”

Certainly, it’s been a strange surge that has
catapulted Justice to the top of the heap, which

started out as almost a “gimme” in spring
training for St. Louis catcher Todd Zeile.

The field has come down to three candidates,
led by Justice, who has 27 homers, 72 RBI, a
.283 average and a .543 slugging percentage.
Cincinnati’s Hal Morris, batting .347 with 20
doubles, seven homers and 34 RBI; and
Montreal second baseman Delino DeShields,
who is batting .293 with 28 doubles, four
homers, 44 RBI and 39 stolen bases.

“DeShields has had a good year,” Justice said,
“but I think it depends on what type player you
like. It’s up to the writers. As for the numbers,
T’ve got the home runs, runs batted in and runs
scored over him.

“But I’m not going to worry about it. I just
want to have a real good, consistent rookie year.

One of the things that concemed Cronin was
major league managers’ and organizations’
penchant for platooning left-handed hitters.

“Sometimes you get tagged with that before
you even get the opportunity,” he said of
Justice. “I lobbied against that. He stands in
against left-handed pitchers better than any
hitter I’ve ever seen, I think he concentrates
even more.”

Indeed, the statistics seem to support Cronin’s
view. Since the All-Star break, Justice has
batted .446 against left-handers (33-for-74),
including 15 hits in his last 26 at-bats against
lefties with four home runs,

Cronin didn’t exactly find a diamond in the
rough with Justice when he was scouting him at
Thomas More College.

He recalls the one day he brought in the top
scout from Atlanta, Paul Snyder, and there were
“15 other scouts there that day.”

On Saturday, September 29,
Albany State Rugby defeated
LeMoyne College 46-0. Scoring
only ten points in the first half,
Albany State rallied for thirty-six
points in the first second half
extending their undefeated record to
4-0.

In league play the ruggers have
scored 89 points in three games and
have only allowed 6.

With thirteen returning A-side
players from last year’s play-off
team, the squad hopes that this will
be their championship year.

The success of the season thus far
is a result of the teamwork between
the forwards and the backs.

The forwards, led by team
president P.J. Haberstock, are
playing with both intensity and
cohesiveness. With five returning
seniors and a sophomore in the
back-field this season,

“The experience the backs have
this year is just one advantage that
Albany has over the other teams,”
Albany team captain Billy
O'Connell said.

This year’s B-side squad is also
in contention for post-season play.

The B-siders are also undefeated
and are lead by both strong forward
play and excellent back-line
execution.

Team vice president “Little

4-0 with big win over Lemoyne

George” Loiodice and team
treasurer Pete “Humpty” Ragone
are just two of the returning
forwards who have added to the
success of the team. The back-line
is led by fly half John “Ducky”
Corson and wing Steve “Stick”
Lantz.

This year the rugby team has
increased its potential as a
formidable force in the Up- State
Conference with its’ newly added
rookies composing the C and D-
sides,

The Albany State ruggers have
the toughest part of their season
awaiting them. On Saturday,
October 6, the ruggers face the
Oswego Wizards, who are
undefeated.

The following Saturday, October
13, Albany will travel to Siena
College to face the rival Saints.

The victor of the Albany vs. Siena
match will be the winner of the
Mohawk Conference and will
proceed to the first round of the Up-
State Collegiate Championships.

Danes go down tough to Union

By Jerry Kahn
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

It was a game that may lead to a
longtime rivalry. Albany(1-3) hosted
local rival Union(3-1), but lost 10-0 as
the Danes’ offense seemed to forget why
they were standing in front of over 3,000
fans.

The Great Danes’ defense knew that a
tough game had to be played, and they
Tose to the occasion.

Last week, Albany defensive back
coach Dave Clawson said, “If we can
hold Union to 130 yards in the air, we'll
feel pretty good about ourselves.”

The Dane defense, after holding Union
to only 95 passing yards, has every right
to feel good about themselves,

Albany’s offense was another matter.
Although they were missing starting
quarterback Martin Gordon, due to the
chicken pox, they cannot excuse
themselves for netting only 63 yards of
total offense.

“(DeMatteo) didn’t have the speed
Martin (Gordon) does,” Albany head
coach Bob Ford said. “(He) didn’t throw

the ball as well as he’s capable of.”
On Albany’s first drive to the second

quarter, the Great Danes displayed most
of their offense. Running back Eddie
Lemon gained 16 yards on a second and
seven play, and Saunders caught a pass
for 42 yards on second and 14 to help
Albany drive from their own six yardline
to Union’s 34 yardline, However, the
Danes lost 15 yards, and were forced to

The Danes defense has carried the team so far this season

punt from Union’s 49,

In the second half, Albany’s offense
continued to sputter. After, the Danes
took possession on the Dutchmen’s 35
yardline. Albany was unable to do
anything and punted from the Union 49.

Union capitalized with a field goal.
The Dutchmen took a 3-0 lead.

“They (Union) ran fairly well,” Ford
said. “They’re a good football team.”

On Albany’s next drive, Jaan Laap
fumbled the ball on the Danes’ 15
yardline, Union recovered.

“Offensively, we’re still self-
destructing too much,” Ford said. “Union
dominated the line of scrimmage .”

Three plays later, the Dutchmen scored
a touchdown. The extra point was good
and the score became 10-0.

“We're giving up a lot of yardage,”
Ford said. “Let’s get it together.”

Albany’s next drive was in reverse.
They started on their 20 and finished-by

punting from their 14.

“Union just shut us down,” Ford said.
“They shut our inside trapping game.
(Lemon) couldn’t hurt them enough.”

Finally, Albany launched a series of
short gains to legitimately pose a scoring
threat. They drove from their 37 yardline
to Union’s 9. The key plays were a 14
yard run by Fraguela. For Union, a key
play was their deflecting a pass in the
endzone away from Marin. Albany
concluded the drive by attempting a 26
yard field goal. It was blocked.

One bright spot for the game was the
return of many injured players: defensive
back Tim Dieter, linebackers Sonny
McTiernan and Dave Hurley, and
defensive tackle Rich Seidenstein.

“Our first thing is try to: get healthy,”
Ford said.

Albany’s next game will be on
Saturday at Western Connecticut.

J. V. Football's
season and offense
is offtoa slow start

By Ari Kampel

The Albany J.V. football team is off to a
rough 1-2 start, losing games by wide margins
to Hudson Valley and West Point. Their lone
victory was against R.P.I.. However, the
season is still very young, and anything can
happen.

Albany Head Coach E.J. Mills knew his
team was facing a tougher opponent in
Hudson Valley, an excellent junior college.
Although the game resulted in a 27-0 loss for
Albany, Mills felt his team “should show some
signs of brightness.”

Mills said the coach explained that he
played predominantly freshmen and cited the
special teams as the reason for the loss. He
admitted that his team was outmatched up
front due to personnel.

For the second game of the season, a 21-14
victory against R.P.I., Mills felt the score was
not an indication of the way the team played.

“We somewhat dominated the game,” Mills
said. Some second team varsity players
participated, and the defense played very well,
recording four interceptions, including two by
sophomore cornerback Eugene Johnson. The
other two were picked off by Chris Lewis and
Sean Smith.

On offense, Dana Johnson had a forty yard
touchdown mn, and John Bottinger had a sixty
yard touchdown reception. Mills cited his
“Kahunoa Unit, which is the team’s goalline
defense (“Knock and Hit Until No One
Answers”). The unit did an excellent job,
stopping R.PI. at the goalline for four plays,
but a penalty resulted in a touchdown.

Tschantret will leave his mark in Albany

By Andrew Schotz
STAFF WRITER

No matter how well his
men’s soccer team finishes the
season, Albany head coach
Aldo Nardiello will be faced
with mixed emotions at year’s
end. After seven years, the
coach-player aspect of his
association with his squad’s
top goal-scorer, Lee
Tschantret, will have ended.
Nardiello was Tschantret’s
coach from 1983 to 1985 at
Christian Brothers Academy,
and for the past four years at
Albany. The two have
developed a friendship off the
field, as well, to the extent
that Tschantret is the
godfather of Nardiello’s first-
born.

“My first contact with Lee,”
Nardiello recalls, “was when
he was in seventh grade. His
cousin was on my CBA team,
Lee would come to the games
and be a ball boy.”

Tschantret received some
local recognition during his
high school career, being one
of the top players on a team
that were league champions
his junior year. Several
colleges were interested in
him, including about half a
dozen Division I schools, but

the choice to come to Albany
wasn’t very difficult.

“I wanted to stay close to
home,” Tschantret said. The
fact that he would be playing
for his old high school coach
surely didn’t hurt much,
either.

Now the two look back and
see a program that has
skyrocketed during their stays
here. In 1987, Tschantret’s
freshman year, Albany was 9-
7. That was the team’s first
winning season in many
years, Albany then improved
to 12-2-2 and made the ECAC
playoffs in 1988, and finished
18-2 in 1989, after winning
the ECAC tournament.

By no coincidence,
Tschantret’s goal totals have
risen with the team’s success -
9 goals in ‘87, 11 in ‘88, 16 in
“89, and 8 so far this season,
in which the Danes are 5-0-1.
These numbers could put him
on pace to be the school’s all-
time leading goal producer.

“One man does not make a
team,” Nardiello says, “but he
is an integral part of this team

The worst in the Danes’
opponents frequently comes
out, often directed at
Tschantret. Last week’s win
over Siena is a good example
- the Saints’ compiled four
yellow cards, one red card,
and three ejections in
attempting, among other
things, to rough up Albany’s
dangerous offense.

Tschantret, however, has
developed an affinity of his
own towards yellow cards. He
has four already this season.
These violations, though, are
for such offenses as
encroachment and contact
with the opposing goalie.

“They’re silly fouls,”
Tschantret admits, but feels
that they don’t conflict with
his leadership role as a co-
captain.

“He has to learn to control
his temper,” Nardiello says.
“Lee’s a fierce competitor. I
