UAS raises food prices 2 %
Student majority on board fails to overrule

By lan Wagreich
NEWS EDITOR

The University Auxiliary Services (UAS) Board
of Directors has yoted to increase the mandatory
board rate by two percent, in an effort to compen-
sate for growing costs and inflation.

In addition, the board voted to increase special
function costs, which includes conferences and lun-
cheons, by five percent and shot down a motion to
eliminate the 15 percent incentive offered to
students who purchase Quads Plus.

“At a time when students are faced with SUNY
budget cuts, discussion of a proposed tuition hike,
parking fees, towing fees, and bus fees, this is not
the time to sock the students with another fee that
UAS can absorb,”’ said Shawn Thompson, a
member of the UAS board, and a student active in
the Student Association.

But Thompson’s views as a student were not
shared by a majority of the board, as it is comprised
of 10 students, one alumni, two administrators and
seven faculty. The vote was 13 in favor of the two
percent hike with six against, which were all
students.

Norbert Zahm, General Manager for UAS, said

the board hike was necessary even though students
may be faced with increasing costs next year. ‘‘No*
one supports us, and we don’t support them,”’ he
said in reference to how UAS operates, specifically
without any subsidies by any other organization like
the University or the State.
Zahm said that he is sure the increase may affect
students’ choice to go to college, in light of the
budget cuts and other costs that may increase what
students pay out of their own pockets.

Zahm cited an increase in the hourly wage, ‘‘to
attract students,” to $4.25 an hour, which he said

must be compensated for in the increase.

“The corporation is doing really well, (there is)
so much cost increase in the next year, it’s not in-
credibly necessary to pass on to the students,’’ said
Brian Voronkov, a member of the UAS board.

Students opposed to the board hike have claimed
two defenses. One is the success of the organization
this year, especially due to the successful Quads
Plus program and the other, the placement of up to
$400,000 in funds annually into a long range plann-
ing account to fund a future building similar to the
Campus Center.

Students on the UAS board felt that the 15 per-
cent incentive for Quads Plus was a ‘“‘tradeoff’’ to
the board rate increase and the increase in special
services. Voronkov expressed the philosophy taken
at the meeting to ‘Let the students give and take.’
“We gave and we took, but Norb is going to take
what we took,” Voronkov said.

“The 15 percent incentive is very expensive to us,
the number of people that buy it gets very expen-
sive,” Zahm said about placing $15 into every
students’ account for every $100 purchased on
Quads Plus.

But the most serious issue that involved the
budget talks were the plans to constuct a building
similar to the Campus Center because of the need
for space. UAS is currently financially planning for
the future construction by placing at least $400,000
a year in a long range planning account.

“The current building (Campus Center) was
designed for 10,000,’ Zahm said. ‘‘Now there’s
20,000 and we can’t provide that service.”’ The pur-
pose for placing funds ahead of time before the
construction ever gets under way is to prevent UAS
from borrowing a significant amount of money, ac-
cording to Zahm.

SUNYA defends Sexuality Week

By Morgan Lyle
NEWS EDITOR

SUNYA President Vincent
O’Leary’s special review commit-
tee has given Sexuality Week its
blessing, and O’Leary has endors-
ed the committees findings,
University officials said.

Vice President for Student Af-
fairs Lewis Welch, speaking for
O’Leary, said that although the
committee’s report urged caution
and taste in advertising Sexuality
Week’s events, the program’s
concept was ‘‘entirely

appropriate.’”

“The objective of Sexuality
Week was without question en-
dorsed by the committee,’’ Welch
said.

But the committee’s report said
the week’s organizers were
“overzealous” in its promotion
and ‘‘may have overstepped the
boundaries of taste and may have
violated the principle of ‘truth in
advertising.’””

The two Sexuality Week func-
tions that drew the most criticism
from the committee were a film
and lecture on the ‘‘G-spot’”’ and
the Condom Dance. Both events
were strongly criticized by state
Senator James Donovan
(R.-Chadwicks) and Albany
Times-Union columnist Ralph
Martin. The controversy was
mentioned on the NBC Nightly
News and was spoofed on NBC’s
“Saturday Night Live.’’

The report said the ‘‘G-spot’’
program had ‘‘no relation to the
context or content of other pro-
grams aired during Sexuality
Week” and-said warnings about
the film’s explicitness should have
been included in its advertising.

in addition, the report took ex-
ception with the presentation’s
assumption that the ‘G-spot’ ex-
ists and said the subject would be
better handled in ‘‘the framework
of courses, workshops, seminars
or lectures,” in which debate
could occur, than in a 90-minute

presentation.

The group also found fault
with the Condom Dance’s adver-
tising, saying it “‘titillates the im-
agination of the consumer” and
did not ‘‘justly reflect the con-
text”? in which the dance was
held. The committee acknowledg-
ed the event’s ‘‘serious purpose”’
but found inappropriate ‘“‘the
promise of ‘hot music with sexual
messages’’’ in the Sexuality Week
brochure.

The committee’s other main
criticism was that Sexuality
Week’s programming, context
and advertising was not reviewed
by “‘higher offices and officers of
the University.’’ The report said
review of the event did not extend
much beyond the offices of Mid-
die Earth,” the counseling center
whose staff was largely reponsible
for organizing Sexuality Week.

This criticism led to a strong
recommendation that future Sex-
uality Weeks be subject to official
review at the vice-presidential
level.

But aside from these criticisms,
the report was supportive of Sex-
uality Week.

“The committee commends the
facilitators and organizers of Sex-
uality Week for their good inten-
tions, hard work and devotion to
the University’s educational mis-
sion, and recommends that the
University community recognize
and stand by such exemplary ser-

ice,”’ read the first of five recom-

Bus fare hike, cutback
in service proposed

By Karl H. Reichelt

STAFF WRITER

John A. Hartigan, vice president of Finance and Business at
SUNYA, has requested an increase in the bus transportation fees
charged to students who use the SUNYA busses on a regular basis.

According to a memorandum presented to the SUNYA University
Community Council of the University Senate, Hartigan has proposed
to raise the current cost per ticket from 14 cents to 29 cents and the
semester rates from $13 to $29 and also proposes the eliminationof
two full-time bus drivers by the beginning of the next academic year.

Also affected will be the frequency of scheduled runs to Alumni

Quad and below Draper Hall.

According to the memorandum, the latest ‘‘sobering financial cir-
cumstances faced by the campus”’ are forcing these increases but it is
stressed that the SUNYA bus runs will still be much cheaper and more
frequent than the Capitol District Transit Authority Service.

‘The rise in price can also be attributed to a $35,000 diiference in
targeted semester bus ticket purchases to the actual semester pur-
chases, Similarly, ridership projections have fallen short, Hartigan

said.

The report said ‘‘in 1983-84 we projected ridership at 2 million but
current activity is 1.4 million a year. Each 100,000 decrese in ridership
is worth approximately $8,000 in revenues.”

The increase in charges will generate $175,000 a year or 22 percent
of the total campus bus service cost of $776,000 a year. Without this
increase, off-campus students particularly will feel the losses in

service.

The University Council has accepted this proposal, which now
moves to the SUNY Cultural Administration for approval. Oo

Quarterback Pat Ryder is
penalized for Alumni fight

By Morgan Lyle
NEWS EDITOR

SUNYA quarterback Pat
Ryder has been ordered to move
off-campus after being found
guilty of threatening and
abusive behavior and non-
compliance with Resident
Assistants by a Judicial Board.

The charges stemmed from a
Jan. 27 fight on Alumni Quad
which sent one student to the
hospital.

Ryder’s original sentence,
suspension from school for the
remainder of the semester was
commuted yesterday by Vice
President for Student Affairs
Mitchell Livingston to banish-
ment from residence halls and
disciplinary probation.

Ryder has denied allegations
that he stole a wallet from Dan
Marcote, an Alden Hall resi-

dent, and that he used a racial
slur and harassed Marcote in his
room. The evening’s incidents
revolved around an illegal keg
party on the second floor of the
hall.

Marcote said that violence
broke out when Ryder and
others harassed and shoved
Marcote after the party was
broken up. Ryder claimed that
he was jumped by Marcote and
a group of other residents, and
that his companion, Nestor
Nicolaides, was struck by a
small bat by Robert Johnson, a
friend of Marcote’s

Nicolaides was taken to

The Wodd

Translation debated

Jerusalem, Israel
(AP) Holocaust survivor’s Hebrew
translation of “Mein Kampf” has touched
off a controversy over whether the book,
which inspired the slaughter of 6 million
Jews, should be published in Israel.

Author Dan Yaron argued Sunday that
a Hebrew edition of the Adolf Hitler’s
manifesto will educate young Israelis
about the evils of the Nazi regime. Other
Holocaust survivors say it should never ap-
pear on Israeli bookshelves. So far, Yaron
has not found a publisher.

“It’s not easy to get someone to publish
a book that is connected to Hitler,” said
Yaron, who spent the past 18 months
translating the first volume of ‘Mein
Kampf.”’

“But 50 years after Hitler, we must be
strong enough to look at who he was,”
said Yaron, who fled his native Vienna in
1938 after watching Nazi troops parade
down the main street of the Austrian
capital.

Yaron, a retired educator, said in an in-
terview that young Jews should read
“Mein Kampf” as a warning against racist
ideology. He said, for example, that there
were disturbing anti-Arab sentiments ex-
pressed by extreme right Israeli politicians.

Problems exposed

Moscow
(AP) President Mikhail S. Gorbachev’s
decision to permit freer expression has ex-
posed long-ignored grievances that could
threaten his effort to revamp Soviet
society.

When he came to power in March 1985,
Gorbachev inherited not only an economy
in virtual ruins but a union of disparate na-
tionalities bristling under Moscow’s yoke,
an environment poisoned by pollution,
and a system wracked by corruption.

Gorbachev’s predecessors generally
refused to acknowledge such problems and
were indifferent to public opinion, erecting
instead a facade of multinational
brotherhood, claiming that chemicals
pouring into the rivers and blackening the
sky were not harmful, ahd declaring that
crime was largely a Western problem. Gor-
bachev has lifted the veil. ‘‘Democratiza-
tion and glasnost have put the spotlight on
problems which were not always taken into
due consideration — issues of language,
culture, literature, art, historical heritage
and environmental protection,’’ he told a
Communist Party conference June 28.

Because previous administrations were
insensitive to the problems, he said, ‘“‘some
issues began to grow more com-
plicated. . . although in principle they
could have been settled quietly, without

providing a pretext for all sorts of specula-'

tions and emotional extremes.”’
Nationalism alone could break the

several are clamoring for greater control of
their own affairs. One republic even claim-

Solidarity expressed

New York, NY
(AP) Six organizations are asking news
media around the world to publicize the
fourth anniversary of Terry Anderson’s
kidnapping on Thursday.

“Today, March 16, 1989, the American
journalist Terry Anderson, 41, chief Mid-
die East correspondent for The Associated
Press in Beirut, entered his fifth year of
captivity as a hostage in Lebanon,” said a
statement that the groups asked broad-
casters to air and newspapers to use on
their front pages.

The ‘“‘statement of solidarity with
Anderson”’ is from ‘‘the leading freedom
of expression organizations in the Western
world,”’ Anne Nelson, executive director
of the New York-based Committee to Pro-
tect Journalists, said Monday.

In a separate letter to its members, the
150,000-member International Federation
of Journalists said: “On March 16,
another shameful date in the calendar
passes — the fourth anniversary of captivi-
ty for Amercian journalist Terry Ander-
son, who is held hostage in Beirut.”” Oo

Coverage in question

Albany, NY
(AP) Live television coverage of the Joel
Steinberg murder trial helped turn a

“dynch mob” atmosphere into a serious

deliberative process, the convicted child
killer’s lawyer said Monday.

Ira London told state legislators during
a hearing on New York state’s cameras in
the courtroom experiment that he and
Steinberg initially objected to the cameras,
but he changed his mind.

“‘A television camera has a chemical ef-
fect on people,”’ London said. “It makes
people more serious.’”

The Legislature is considering whether
to extend or make permanent the experi-
ment that began on Dec. 1, 1987. Both
chairmen of the Legislature’s Judiciary
committees have predicted the Senate and
Assembly would extend the experiment
beyond its May 31 expiration date.

SA appointment may raise questions of ethics

Associate Justices Dina Feldman and Alfred Malena

Fuerza Latina asks SA
court to hear dispute
over use of van

By John Chartier
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

In a petition submitted to the Student Association
Supreme Court, Fuerza Latina has called for an in-
vestigation into the actions of SA Transportation Direc-
tor Socrates Fronhofer after the group was denied use of
the SA van for an event held this past weekend.

According to John Ruiz, secretary for Fuerza Latina,
the group submitted a solicitation for the van on
January 27, long before any other groups had made re-
quests. However, Fronhofer decided to give the van to
the German Club, causing Fuerza Latina to question his
decision.

Last semester, Fronhofer’s appointment was
challenged in SA Supreme Court by a black student who
felt he was entitled to the position because of SA affir-
mative action policy. The court allowed Fronhofer to
keep the job but strongly cautioned SA to keep to affir-
mative action policy more closely.

Ruiz says that Fronhofer’s decisions are supposedly
based on whether or not a group is sponsoring a cultural
event, in that cultural events take precedence over other
kinds of events.

**We feel that the transportation director’s decisions
have been inconsistent,’’ Ruiz said.

According to George Serrano, president of Fuerza
Latina, Fronhofer did not even bother to inquire about
what type of event they were having. Regardless of this,
Serrano feels that the issue is not whether the event was
cultural or not, but that they were denied use of the van
after soliciting for it far in advance of other groups. Ser-
rano questioned Fronhofer’s actions when he claimed
that he evaluated the van requests only a week before
the event was to be held.

According to Ruiz, this is not the first time Fuerza
Latina has been denied use of the van. ‘In December we
had a group that was going to perform, and a solicita-
tion was put in by the debate team also,’’ he said.
Again, they were denied, and it was questioned as to
what kind of a cultural event was being held by the ,
debate team.

Serrano further added that Fuerza Latina has been
turned down at least five additional times this year. He
feels that the evidence shows that Fronhofer may have
something against Fuerza Latina.

Serrano said that as a result of this denial, he was
forced to rent a van which turned out to be more expen-
sive than if he had been allowed to use the SA van. This,
he feels is hypocritical on the part of SA since groups are
asked to spend as little as possible. ‘‘Due to the fact that
(Fronhofer) waits until the week before, I have to go out
and solicit a van,’’ Serrano said. “‘It’s costing me more
money and it’s not our fault,” he continued.

Although Fronhofer could not be reached for com-
ment, SA president James Lamb said when it comes to ,
decision concerning the SA van, “‘It’s at the discretion
of the transportation director.”” Lamb also said there is
no rule stating that cultural events must take precedence
over others, but that the final decision is up to the direc-

SASU mounts second budget rally

By Morgan Lyle
NEWS EDITOR
The Student Association of the State University
(SASU) expects 1,000 students to gather at the second
budget rally this spring on the Capitol steps today.
Those in attendance will have a chance to hear from
some of the key players in the battle over Gov. Mario
Cuomo’s proposed budget cuts to SUNYA. Scheduled to
speak prior to the rally are D. Bruce Johnstone, the
Chancellor of SUNY, State Assembly Minority Leader
Clarence Rappleyea (R-Norwich), and state Senate
Finance Committee Chairman Tarky Lombarki (R-

Syracuse), along with other legislators and SUNY
officials.

Along with students from SUNY campuses across the
state will be 500 students from the City University of New
York (CUNY), which also faces deep budget cuts, accor-
ding to SASU President Arlette Slachmuylder.

The students will be protesting a proposed cut to SUNY
of $47 million, on top of $23 million in reductions already
absorbed this year. SUNY officials expect the reduction
to cost the system 1,100 jobs and result in lower enroll-
ment, curtailed services and program eliminations.

The proposed cuts also have led Johnstone and several
members of the SUNY Board of Trustees to advocate a
tuition increase in hopes of softening their impact.

The first rally, on Feb. 13, brought upwards of 700
students to Albany to lobby the Legislature and protest
Cuomo’s budget. Those protestors marched noisily
through the halls of the Capitol, ending with a brief sit-in
in front of Cuomo’s office.

Genevieve Connor, the SASU delegate at SUNYA, said

she hopes to be more successful getting Albany students
to today’s rally than were the organizers , of the February
gathering, at which the SUNYA turnout appeared low.

“This time, I know Albany’s turnout is going to be bet-
ter,”’ she said yesterday at a pre-rally meeting of student
leaders. Connor said fraternity and sorority pledges have
been “phenomenal” in informing the campus about the
protest and urging students to show up.

The small group of students and student leaders who
attended yesterday’s meeting heard dire predictions about
the effects of the cuts on this campus. Five administrative
Ppositions.would be eliminated, and 30 faculty members
and 40 suppport staff members would lose their jobs, ac-
cording to SUNYA Assistant Vice President for Financial
Management and Budgeting Eugene Gilchrist.

“Tf the cuts stay the way they are, it is my sense that we
are not going to be able to avoid some program closings,”’
Gilchrist said. He pointed out that, assuming each fired
faculty member taught at least two classes, the budget in
its present form would eliminate 120 courses next year.

Other steps taken by SUNYA to close the $3.4 million
gap caused by the cuts would include accepting 200 fewer
freshmen and transfers than this year, reducing library
and computing center hours, and cutting back on student
services, Gilchrist said.

“The average legislator is not getting enough letters
about SUNY,” she said. “We really need to start
flooding their offices with letters.””

The rally was scheduled for 2 p.m. A legislative recep-

tion is scheduled for 5 p.m. in the Albany Room in the
Empire State Plaza. Oo

Bill proposes to protect student rights

By T.E. Kane

ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

An Amendment to the state’s Civil
Rights bill proposes that all students
at colleges and Universities be
ensured full protection of their
constitutional and civil rights in
judicial proceedings concerning
campus disciplinary actions.

The legislation states that the
universities and colleges in the state
are the sole exceptions in the use of
the universally recognized right to
cross examination, confrontation
with adverse witnesses, and councel
to speak on behalf of a client.

At SUNYA, Mitchell Livingston,
vice president for Student Affairs,
which oversees the Judicial Services
Department, said that the University
upholds the basic requirements set
forth by legal precedent for
institutions of higher learning.

A landmark case, Dixon vs.
Alanabas (1962), was the first legal
framework to set guidelines for the
minimum requirements that a

university must use in judicial
proceedings.

A university must provide a
formal statement of charges, timely
notice of a hearing date, allow for an
advisor, keep a transcript of the
hearing, and a full disclosure of
witnesses.

These requirements do not include
the same due process procedures that
are used in regular Civil courts.

Mark Mishler, a former Student
Association (SA) lawyer, said the
Administration guidelines do not
allow for the advisor to speak on
behalf of the client, or cross examine
any witness which violates basic due
process laws that exist in Civil court.

The reason that the
Administration does not use the
same due process laws as the courts
do is because the University is in a
different environment than that of
the Civil courts, according to
Livingston.

“We cannot evoke the same
penalties as a civil court can,”

Livingston said. ‘‘We cannot take
away the rights of an individual,
such as putting them in prison.”’

Livingston asserted that penalties
the Universities hand down in
disciplinary cases are educational in
nature.

“The worst we can do,’’
Livingston said, ‘‘is expel someone
from this institution. We cannot
take any other rights away.”

Mishler believes that the right to
an education is important enough to
warrent a full protection of civil
liberties.

Fall due process should be used
when state action is taken, sufficent
interests of a person are at stake, and
when life, liberty and property, as by
the 14th Amendment, are
threatened, Mishler said.

“The right to an education is a
property issue,” Mishler said, ‘and
ability of the adminstration to curtail
the right to such property should
give the accused party right to full

stuck,” Stevens said.

Stevens said he hopes to provide
diverse entertainment for this year’s
Mayfest, possibly including jazz, blues,
reggae and country western. ‘‘(In the
past) Mayfest has been a ‘white’ event
and anybody who says different is ig-
norant,’’ he said.

Another Mayfest detail being worked
out is the application for a beer permit
from the State Liquor Authority. ‘‘The
focus is away from alcohol, but we don’t
want to take it completely away,”
Stevens said.

ID may be colored

A proposal to color-code driver’s
licenses for persons aged 21 years and
younger was submitted to the State
Senate Transportation committee by
Senator Gary J. Vallela (R-34th District).

The legislation, not yet a formal bill,
was announced last week to make anyone
who buys alcohol ‘more easy to iden-
tify” as underaged, according to Carol
Cardell, staff member for Valella.

The bill. if it becomes official, will also
be intended to curtail forgery of licenses
used to purchase alcohol by minors. The
system would also be used on N.Y. State
Identification cards, Vallela’s office said.

A, similar bill was passed in the Senate,
but it failed in the Assembly because it
did not have a co-sponsor in Assembly.
This year the bill has sponsorship in the
Assembly, according to Cardell.

Offices sought

Shawn Thompson, who is presently
SA Central Council Chair, is running for
President of SA, and Fermin Espinoza,
Albany State Unviversity Black Alliance
President and presently holding a posi-
tion on Central Council for Indian Quad

Labor leaders vow support ©
for El Salvadorean workers

By T.E. Kane
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Members of the New York Area Labor Committee in support of Democracy and
Human Rights in El Salvador went to the Central American country recently to show
their support for ASTELL, the largest telcommunications union, in its fight to bring
ANTEL, the state run communications company, to the bargaining table.

The Labor group also went to El Salvador to inspect working and living conditions of
the people of the country, and the human rights record of the current government.

“‘We found that most of the working conditions were heavily guarded by the govern-
ment’s troops,” said Dominic Tomineri, counsel to Assemblyman Frank Barbaro
(-47th Dist). Both were a part of the delegation which found that living and working
conditions were at “‘subsistence’’ levels.

The Army is used continually by the government to intimidate the workers from
organizing, Tomineri said.

The struggle between the union and the communications company started seven years
ago when President Jose Napolean Duarte did not allow the members of the union to
organize to promote their agenda, despite a constitutional guarantee of free association.

During the seven year interim, the military has waged a campaign to threaten workers
by using death squads who routinely murder members of ASTELL, Tomineri said. Tor-
ture is also widely used to coerce members not to organize, according to the New York
Labor committee’s report.

“The battle between the union and the company is indicative of the divisions within
the country,”’ Tomineri said. The military is run by the ARENA, a right-wing party,
which is in control of the legislature, but not the presidency.

“The military is used by the ruling oligarchy against the majority of the people,”’
Tomineri added.

Duarte is a member of the Christian Democratic Party. It is widely believed that the
Central Intelligence Agency engineered his election in 1981 so that the leaders of the
ARENA party would not assume control of the country.

However, Tomineri believes that Duarte is unable to control the military, which is staf-
fed by many ARENA party members.

“Tn turn ARENA claims that Duarte is to blame for the country’s problems,”
Tomineri said. ‘Most of the country’s citizens get left out of the political process
because both parties are constantly fighting for power.’”

The civil war in El Salvador between the FMLN, a left-wing insurgency group, and the
Army is not a real civil war but a ‘“‘class war,’” according to Tomineri.

Almost 70 percent of the people live in poverty while the real wealth in the country is
held by a few, Tomineri said.

The people who are not represented in and by the wealthy class, and are not actively in-
volved in FMLN’s armed struggle centered in the southern mountain regions, are
peasants and members of fledgling trade unions who have been driven to seek an alter-
native voice because the ruling oligarchy had failed to heed the needs of the majority of

Bias is charged in probe of flawed experiment

By Greg Shaub
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

A dispute among two scientists at SUNYA over a
bungled 1985 biological science experiment has grown to
include the question of prudence on the part of ad-
ministrators in conducting investigations and has reached
as far as the United States Congress.

Arrigo De Benedetti, Ph.D., a former graduate
research assistant and post doctoral reseach associate at
SUNYA, claims he is being scapegoated by his former
close friend and associate, Professor Corrado Baglioni, in
the experiment he and Baglioni conducted which went
away in 1985.

De Benedetti, who believes he is the subject of an ongo-
ing investigation at SUNYA, has accused Baglioni, the
senior research scientist, of harrassment and intimida-
tion, poor judgement and negligence concerning the ex-
periment, and of unleashing a personal vendetta against
De Benedetti.

De Benedetti’s attorney, Lawrence F. Klepper, alleges
that SUNYA has “‘colluded with complaintant (Baglioni)
in an effort to conceal the lack of merit in complaintant’s
misconduct charges,” and of failure to adhere to its
responsibilities of insuring fairness and confidential treat-
ment to De Benedetti as called for by federal guidelines
relevant to the investigation.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is a branch of
the Federal Government which provides federal funding
for research at various institutions, including, SUNYA.
Any institution receiving federal grants is accountable to
NIH and is ‘subject to its ‘Policies and Procedures for
Dealing with Possible Misconduct in Science.”

Klepper has filed an ‘Application for Interim Ad-
ministrative Action”’ with the NIH, calling for the NIH to
intervene and recommend that SUNYA ‘“‘defer promulga-
tion and publication” of findings from the investigation
until it has adhered to the NIH guidelines. Klepper has
also forwarded his application to Congressman Ted
Weiss (D-NY), chairman of the subcommittee on Human
Resources in the U.S. Congress, which has jurisdiction
over NIH.

The application is being sought “‘to protect the public
interest in having misconduct investigations, in federally
funded research, conducted in a thorough, fair and im-
partial manner and to prevent abuse of misconduct pro-
ceedings, against graduate students or other relatively

powerless individuals, by large institutions with unlimited
resources who control the entire disciplinary process,”’ ac-
cording to Klepper.

SUNYA could be in danger of losing federal funding if
it is found to be negligent in its conduction of an in-
vestigation, according to Catherine L. Bick, NIH deputy
director for extramural research. The institution must
conduct a fair investigation and cannot ignore reports of
contrary opinions, Bick said.

Klepper has accused SUNYA of both violations.

A congressional source in Washington D.C. said the
subcommittee on Health and Human Services has been
looking into the general issue.

John Jacklet, chair of Biological Sciences at SUNYA
said he could not comment on the case, “‘not that I want
to be secret but because it is a confidential matter.” He
said that Klepper has publicly aired the ‘‘issue to distract
from the investigation.

Barbara Pytel, the third researcher in the 1985 experi-
ment also said, although she would like to talk about it,
the University would prefer no one discuss it.

However, Patrick Hunt, associate vice president of
University Relations said there are no NIH guidelines, on-
ly proposed guidelines and that SUNYA follows and ‘‘is
ahead of” those guidelines.

Klepper has charged SUNYA with inconsistency in its
stance on the NIH guidelines. Originally the University
agreed that the investigation was subject to the NIH
guidelines, but subsequently reversed its position, saying
the guidelines only cover misconduct allegations against
current employees of SUNYA, Klepper said.

Bick disagreed, maintaining that the fact that the sub-
ject of the investigation is no longer a member of the
University and does not remove the University from the
guidelines, as the recipient of federal funds is responsible
for the time during which the federally funded research
was carried out.

Illustrating SUNYA’s alleged failure to conduct a fair
investigation, Klepper maintains that throughout pro-
ceedings the “University failed to apprise Dr. De
Benedetti of complaintant’s (Baglioni) specific charges of
misconduct,’’ hindering De Benedetti’s ability to for-
mulate an appropriate response. “‘It is a scenario worthy
of Franz Kafka,”’ Klepper said in his application to NIH,
“that, at this University, a person charged with miscon-
duct must guess at allegations, in order to respond.’’

Hunt responded by saying that the subject of any in-
vestigation would receive specific enough questions from
which a person could infer the nature of the
investigations.

De Benedetti, who did receive specific questions,

maintains that the questions were biased against him and.

presumed his guilt.

Klepper has accused SUNYA of unfairness in denying
De Benedetti access to his own lab journals to validate his
hypothesis about the failed experiment and of ignoring
requests for De Benedetti to meet with the investigation
committee to present relevant evidence. According to
Klepper, De Benedetti has indicated to the University the
person he believes could be responsible for the failed ex-
periment, but the University has ignored the evidence.

Anyone involved in an investigation is permitted to
submit any relevant information in writing at any time,
responded Jeanne Gullahorn, vice president for Research
and Graduate Studies at SUNYA.

As to lab journals, they are the property of the person
conducting the research and that person has a variety of
appropriate procedures to access them, Hunt said.
However, he added that there may be circumstances sur-
rounding an investigation in which this would not be
prudent.

Klepper has also expressed concern that these journals
are in the possession and control of Baglioni, who is the
director of the lab, but Hunt maintains that in any in-
vestigation the Investigation Committee would take steps
to secure and guard them from foul play.

Another point of contention made by Klepper is that
De Benedetti took a leave of absense in 1985, while the
research was in progess, to visit his family in Italy, and
upon returning allegedly expressed concern to Baglioni
that a cell culture, used in the experiment, was overgrown
and might have become contaminated. Baglioni ‘was
negligent in refusing to even consider the possibility,”
Klepper accused.

Baglioni who, according to Hunt, has been in charge of
more than $2.6 million dollars in research funding from
federal granting agencies since 1980, is on sabbatical and
his telephone number would not be released by the
Biological Sciences Department.

However, in a recent Albany Times Union article con-
cerning the experiment, Baglioni ‘‘angrily denied De

The University council met Monday afternoon to discuss the proposed “*4x4”’ plan

and students all agreed that there existed a serious lack of information and thus
postponed any substantive discussions until May when more facts should be available.

The Committee on Educational Policies and Procedures (EPC) has employed a task
force to consider the applicability of the ‘‘4x4”’ proposal at SUNYA, but according to
the chariman of the EPC, Kendall Birr, the task force is still in its initial stages.

“The task force is relying on professional judgement due to lack of extensive
research,”’ claimed Birr. ‘‘It is premature to address speicific questions now because no
formal facts have been acquired,”’ Birr said.

Many of the attending Senators and faculty members were highly concerned over the
lack of facts and admitted that they were setting their postions on this matter based on-
ly on “‘academic instincts.’”

“How can we make judgements on a major university issue when we don’t know how
our departments or workloads or students will be affected?’’ said one professor.
“You've (the task force) got to give us specifics so we can make valid judgements.”’

Birr did stress that the Graduate Academic Council, the Univeristy Research and

Planning Board, the Academic Affairs Department, and various academic major
departments have been informed and are working on the effects of the ‘“4x4”’ program.

Martone hopes to streamline the
method of residence hall selection

By Elizabeth Meltzer
STAFF WRITER

On campus housingsign-upproblems will soon be
a thing of the past as Residential Life restructures
its procedures.

‘‘We want to create an alternative to traditional
residence halls,” said John A. Martone, assistant
vice-president for Residential Life. According to
Martone there will be ‘‘good and significant
changes in housing sign-up,” involving the uptown
campus, Alumni Quad, and Freedom Quad.

The changes taking place involve both lottery and
class standing, as well as a more centralized point of
operations. As it stands now Freedom Quad will
use both lottery and class standing as a means of
determining housing, with a priority being given to
current residents who wish to remain where they
are, and with preference going to graduate
students, seniors, and juniors, respectively.

The changes affecting both uptown and Alumni
campuses involve the elimination of the lottery
system, allowing the housing sign-up to be based
solely by class standing with a preterence to juniors,
sophomores, and freshmen, respectively, as well as
offering the opportunity for students to remain
where they are.

In the past, according to Martone, ‘‘there have
been a number of problems with a class standing.”’
This happens when discrepencies arise between
what the registrar says and what the student says
about current status.

Another problem involves ‘‘ghosts.”” This is
when someone who has no intention of remaining
on campus, usually a senior, signs up for housing in
order to help out friends by completing a suite and
then pulls out at the last minute. The problem with
this is that it takes housing away from other
students. Martone cited 212 seniors who signed up
for on-campus housing last year, of which 100 of
them cancelled.

According to Martone, ‘‘There have been a large
number of juniors and seniors ‘interested in

Freedom Quad, ‘‘which offers 48 three-bedroom
apartments, 37 two-bedroom apartments, and 11
one-bedroom apartments. All the apartments come
with a completely furnished and carpeted living
room, dining area, and bedrooms. A fully equipped
kitchen, as well as convenient parking and a laun-
dromat are offered.

Freedom Quad will not undergo any rate hikes in
the upcoming fall semester, Martone said. ‘‘We feel
we can go through a cycle without raising those
rates.’’ This is in contrast to the uptown and alumni
campuses which have already confirmed increases
in housing costs. According to Martone, “Inter
Quad enthusiastically supported what we are
doing.”

In the past, there have been problems in terms of
on campus housing accomodation for freshmen
and transfer students who have been “‘tripled’”’ or
have been placed in temporary housing in the
Thruway House. According to Martone, the ex-
cessive number of students is due to the budget
which is ‘‘predicted to have 100 percent occupancy
per semester. In addition, by second semester, we
are always able to offer on campus housing.”’ The
bottom line is that ‘we will always have increased
housing. . . we will be full on paper while we will
have more people than actually shown,”’ Martone
said.

This problem is being somewhat alleviated by ‘“‘a
more sophisticated system and a good handle on
figures due to experience and a computerized
assignment process,’” Martone said. ‘‘the number
of students can now be helping to alleviate the over-
crowded situation there will be 150 less freshmen
than last year,’’ Martone said.

In terms of housing Marone is confident that
things will run smoothly for the upcoming housing
sign up. “This year, I think it’s going to be great,”’
he said.

UAS faced a loss of about
$30,000 of revenue in the
residence hall food services for
the 1988-89 year, but forsees a
$9,000 net income for the 1989-90
year based on $7 million in sales,
according to Zahm.

Based on $15 million in net
sales, which does not include the
residence halls, UAS had a net in-
come of approximately $400,000.
This income was placed in the
long range planning account for
the building fund.

Lamb pointed out that UAS

Despite the two percent board

of the food offered, but a con-
tinued commitment to popular
food items, which Zahm said
“‘cost a lot of money.””

‘We will continue to maintain
what we’re doing, offering a good
quality food service,” Zahm said.

A fishing senator exhibits
weighted concern for seas

By Tim Devane
STAFF WRITER

State Senator Owen Johnson lectured on
environmental issues to College
Republicans here at SUNY Albany on
Monday night.

Johnson, a Republican from the 4th
Senatorial district, is also Chairman of the
Senate Environmental Conservation
Committee.

Johnson said he first got involved with
environmental issues because of his in-
volvement with fishing.

“I thought I was a fisherman, not an en-
vironmentalist,”” Johnson said.

Johnson mentioned pesticides as ‘‘long-
lasting killers” and one of the top threats
to our safety.

He also criticized-New York City politi-
cians for many of the problems regarding
Long Island’s environment. He cited the
medical waste and water shortage pro-
blems of Long Island last summer.

“New York City feels they have no limit
on water,’’ Johnson said.

As for Mario Cuomo, ‘‘he’s a snake-oil
salesman.”

Johnson stated that Cuomo is responsi-
ble for the mess involving the Shoreham
Nuclear Power Plant. According to

ATTENTION
FRATERNITY AND SORORITY PLEDGES

Your pledge experience should be a safe and
meaningful one! :

The University and State of New York Prohibit HAZING. The
University defines HAZING In Student Guidelines as: conduct
intended to cause psychological emotional or physical harm to any
person as part of initiation into or affiliated with any organization.

The State of New York describes hazing as intentionally or
recklessly engaging in conduct which creates a substantial risk of
physical injury to a person as part of an individual’s initiation into or
affiliation with any organization (even if no one is actually harmed,
the mere risk is against the law!).

If you believe you are being hazed you are encouraged to
report it to Jessica Casey, Director of Student Activities, CC 130,
442-5566.

Johnson, the plant was safe to open, but
Cuomo used it as a political tool when he
declared Shoreham unsafe to go on line.

Johnson said that if Shoreham isn’t
opened, the area will suffer an ‘‘economic
disaster.”

Senator Johnson also expressed his sup-
port for recycling and solar power as
waves of the future. He stated his approval
of the bottle bill (5 cent refund) although
he voted against it in the Legislature.

Although many improvements have
been made on environmental problems
over the years, Johnson said, it isn’t easy
to win support from the masses by voicing
environmental concerns.

“You can’t always tell the people the
truth,’’ Johnson said.

He proved this statement true when he
averted a question about Shoreham raised
by Andrew Greenblatt, State Board

Blackout called for in protest

of radioactive waste sites

By Elizabeth Meltzer
STAFF WRITER

A commission of consultants is presently looking for a site to store what they call
“low level’’ radioactive waste somewhere near the towns of Fort Ann and Hartford, 15
miles from Glens Falls. The 200 tons of waste would be transported via the Northway
(187) and local roads to the facility, which would probably utilize a radioactive
material-emmitting incinerator.

The Washington County Citizens’ Task Force on Radioactive Waste, and Don’t
Waste New York are two organizations which are fighting against the transportation of
this radioactive meterial. In an effort to gain some support for their cause. The two
groups are working together to organize a voluntary ‘‘blackout.”’ The groups are ask- ;
ing all residents of Washington, Warren, Albany, and Saratoga Counties to voluntarily
shut off all their electricity on Monday, March 20 between 7 and 8 p.m. as a demonstra-
tion of their support of the two organizations’ concerns. The groups hope that this will
facilitate a message to Niagra-Mohawk and other nuclear utilities, who are the largest
producers of radioactive waste.

“It’s time to move on and review our committment to various technologies,” said
Jack Cocheo of Greenwich, a member of the Washington County group. ‘Nuclear
power is in economic trouble, and this is a perfect time to review.”

Assemblyman William J. Larkin Jr., of the 95th assembly district, including parts of
Orange, Ulster, and Sullivan Counties, has been actively involved with the issue involv-
ing the search for a new site.

As of Dec. 20th, 20 of 30 sites under consideration had been eliminated, leaving the
commission with ten possibilites.

Orange County is presently trying to sell shares in its 675-acre water reservoir. It is
being hurt financially, Larkin said, due to concern over the possibility of contamina-
tion if Orange County is selected for the new radioactive waste site.

“Local authorities will not buy water from this local reservoir due to threat of con-
tamination,’’ Larkin said. ‘If they (the commission) had done their homework they
would have eliminated our site.””

According to Larkin, his taskforce provided the commission with extensive evalua-
tions on criteria. ‘‘We gave them an evaluation of everything in our book, item by
item,”’ he said.

Larkin said an unnecessary amount of time and money has already been wasted.
‘Why we have spent $15 million on consultants when all they (the commission) had to
do was call the Environmental Health Association to find information necessary to ex-
clude this site is a good question,” he said.

Larkin was responsible for sending 75 questions to the commission in an effort to
establish communication. The commission responded by saying it could not answer any
of the questions. ‘‘I find it hard to believe that they could make any decisions without
looking at our information,”’ Larkin said. Qo

Investigation

Benedetti’s allegations, conten-
ding instead that De Benedetti
made the mistake and now won’t
admit it.””

Baglioni retracted the findings
of the experiment published in the
National Academy of Sciences by
misrepresenting to the publication
that De Benedetti, co-author of
the article, sought the retraction,
according to Klepper. He believes
this was irresponsible as he feels
there was credible evidence that
the basic findings were valid
regardless of problems with the
experiment.

In the Times Union article
Baglioni said ‘“‘He (De Benedetti)
agreed that this was the best solu-
tion. He was fully informed.”

Of a retraction, Hunt said it is
entirely an editorial decision and
that the editor of a magazine
would have proper channels for
handling retractions. He is entitl-
ed to write to the journal and pro-
test the retraction, Hunt said.

Baglioni has been charged by
Klepper of being a ‘“‘loose can-
non” throughout the initial in-
quiry. He is accused by Klepper
of falsely representing himself as
a member of the Inquiry Commit-
tee to De Benedetti and to former
and prospective employers of De
Benedetti, thereby violating the
NIH requirement for
confidentiality.

In one case Baglioni called Dr.
De Benedetti’s employer, Dr.
Susan Linquist, at the University
of Chicago where De Benedetti
was subsequently employed doing
research and ‘“‘discussed the in-
quiry, and made highly
defamatory statements to her
about Dr. De Benedetti,’”” Klep-
per said. This resulted in the ter-
mination of De Benedetti’s
research position before the end
of the year, he maintains.

SUNYA denies that it is
responsible for Baglioni’s
“bizarre behavior,” according to
Klepper, although he is an
employee of the University and
“this actions violate the NIH

guidelines.””

Gullahorn said that within any
scientific community an in-
dividual has an obligation to give
frank references and ‘‘advance
truth,” although she would not
discuss the specific allegations.

Linquist, on maternal leave
from University of Chicago,
could not be reached for com-
ment and did not respond to
repeated messages. In the Times
Union story, she did, however,
comment that “‘De Benedetti later
was dismissed after questions
were raised about the integrity of
his work there.’’

Klepper is concerned about
what he called SUNYA’s conflict
of interest ‘between ensuring
fairness to all, and protecting
Baglioni from embarrassment.
He maintains that the University
has not sufficiently demonstrated
its assertion that the members of
the Investigation Committee have
no conflict of interest by being in
any way associated with Baglioni.

The Investigation Committee
has requested to meet with De

Benedetti after concluding its fin-
dings, according to Klepper. But
he maintains that to attend such a
meeting would be a ‘‘meaningless
charade,”’ as his client has had no
input and the investigation falls
“far short’’ of NIH guidelines.

“As they say in congress, if
we’re not there for the take-off,
we don’t want to be there for the
landing,’’ Klepper said.

Klepper believes SUNYA is
playing a game of “‘protect the
old boy network’’ by avoiding
any meaningful search for the
facts and conducting as narrow
an investigation as possible.’’
Baglioni has attracted a substan-
cial amount of grant money to the
University and therefore De
Benedetti is more expendible,
Klepper said.

De Benedetti, who currently
has grant for post doctoral work
at the University of Kentucky is
unemployable at major research
institutions and should be on a
tenure track position at a major
university, Klepper said.

“The destruction of the

academic career of a brilliant
young research scientist,” has
been the result of the investiga-
tion, according to Klepper.

De Benedetti maintains that he
conducted his research in accor-
dance with the highest standards
of integrity and has every expecta-
tion of complete exoneration
from any allegations of miscon-
duct in research, according to
Klepper.

Klepper, among other actions,
is seeking to have the NIH in-
vestigate Baglioni’s alleged ef-
forts to intimidate De Benedetti
during the investigation and con-
duct proceedings against him if
such evidence is found. oO

More on Towing...

To The Editor:

I am writing because of the overwhelming number of
cars that have been towed recently on campus. I unders-
tand that Public Safety has the right to tow cars that are
illegally parked on the quad, but do the ends justify the
means in this case? On the college budget, it is almost im-
possible to come up with $60 to pay for the towing. What
are they going to do with the extra money--buy parking
lots? A ticket perhaps--but towing is ridiculous!!! Tell
Public Safety to spend the time it takes to tow cars and
use it to patrol the campus and protect us from more
serious crimes than parking in the wrong place!!! Do ex-
tra cars cause a public hazard? I think not!

Also, Corbin said, the use of full

court proceedings would lead to [
Procedural delays because lawyers
would attempt to stall some cases.

Mishler also had criticism for the
University’s appeal process and the
use of temporary suspensions.

‘“My experience with a few cases is
that there is potential for abuse the
way the system is,”” Mishler said. |

In the first stage of a case, the
Judicial board makes a non-binding
Tecommendation to Judicial services
assistant director Karleen Karlson,
who in turn reads the opinions of the
Judicial board members, are which
consists of students. Karlson then
decides the outcome by these
opinions.

However, even if the case was a
total unanimous decision, Karlson
could rule against, and her decision J
Would stand according to Glenn
Graham, a Judicial board member.

Either party has the right to
appeal the decision to an Appeal |
Review Board.

The Appeal Review Board is either
Picked from experienced students or
& subcommittee from the Committee
On Student Conduct. Both are
chosen by the vice president’s office,
who will make the final decision
Tegarding the case.

“Tt smacks of a star chamber,”
Mishler said. ‘Appeals are not
handled by bodies that can be
Considered inpartial.””

Mishler reasons that the vice
President’s abilities to choose the
Students and/or faculty.

Appeal Review Board or the
Subcommittee from Students |
Conduct Committee is too much
Power put in one person’s hands.

The use of this system, the
University maintains, is in}
accordance with the eduational
Nature of the University community.

The University’s temporary |
Suspension policies was criticized by
Mishler because ‘‘the University in
_ Some cases unnecessarily placed ‘

_ Somebody on suspension.” ;

This policy allows the University

_ to place a student on a suspension
before his hearing date is set.

The law states that for student to
be placed on temporary suspension
there has to be ‘‘a clear and present
threat to the University community
‘OF property.”

| _ “Out of some 600 cases last year,”
~ Corbin said, ‘‘we put about five
_ People on temporary suspension.” L

Boards, but SUNYA officials
said University policy and
federal law prohibits them from
releasing any information about
who they are, what they have
been charged with, or the out-
come of their cases.

Ryder said the decision in his
case will not affect the status of
his enrollment or his involve-
ment with the football team.

Ryder praised Livingston for
having ‘a clear head on his
shoulders’’ and said an other-
wise clear record at the Universi-

For example, Tomineri said
many groups, such as mothers
who have children that have
disappeared, earthquake victims,
and trade unions have organized
to have their voices heard, but as
yet have not been able to have the
government of Duarte respond to
their claims.

“They tend to side with the
FMLN because these groups’
organizers have been shut out for
so long,’’ Tomineri said. They do
not believe in FMLN doctrine en-
tirely but overall they are ac-
cepted more by these groups.

spoke to while in El Salvador,
said that the FMLN doesn’t

their crops like the Army troops
do on a routine basis.

Tomineri add that in the pea-
sant’s eyes, it is easier to sym-
pathize with the guerilla forces.

Duarte’s government uses the
same tactic that the United States
used in Vietnam-bomb the
population into submission and
force them to leave, Tomineri
said,

The government uses the advice
and training of U.S, military ad-
visers, and give aid to the country
at a rate of $1.5 million a day.

With the presidential elections
scheduled for March 19, the U.S.

is in a difficult position, because
the basic tenet of Central
American policy is anti-
communist, and deploration of
far-right extremism.

The FMLN has communistic
elements, leans to the left, but the
ARENA party is a far-right
organization.

“The U.S. policy is in a box,”
Tomineri said. “They’re not a
strong centrist party that the U.S.
can form an alliance with.”

Tomineri predicted that the
Bush administration will side with
ARENA with accomadations

The Americans must unders-
tand the real situation before
justice can be done, and workable
solutions for El Salvador come to
fruition, Tomineri said.

“We are in the process of
evaluating the reactions of these
various departments in order to
present the Council with a con-
crete proposal and impact state-
ment by May 8, 1989,” Birr said.

The main concerns among
faculty and Senate members over
the ‘‘4x4’’? plan dealt with
workloads for both professors
and students and the eventual
restructuring of academic
departments.

Another professor stated that it
is one issue to address in-class
work as increasing but “‘for every
hour of in-class work comes
multiple hours of out-of-class
work.”

A concern over smaller depart-
ments, such as the Cultural

> a —_--------------,

Education Department,
raised,

These types of departments
have a limited staff and a small
number of classes offered which
would be affected by the
proposal.

“Students restricted to four

was

courses may overlook smaller
cultural classes and thus become
less educated about other cultures
and weaken what our campus has
achieved culturally over the
years,” claimed a third professor.

Another issue addressed by
both students and faculty was the
involvement of the student body.
The concern focused on the con-
sideration of student viewpoints
about the ‘‘4x4’” proposal.

According to Belinda Mason,
student representative of the EPC
and its task force, students are in-
volved in the proposal.

“Students have been invited to
attend ‘‘4x4’’ meetings and are
represented,’’ Mason said. ‘““‘We
have polled students and have
found them in favor of ‘4x4’’,
they are mostly concerned about
class time and coverage of class
topics.’”

However, getting Luks,
another student representatvie on
EPC and the task force, claimed
that those he has spoken with are
not in favor of the provision.

“This ‘4x4’ plan would prac-
tically eliminate double majors
and minors and will restrict
students in the variety of courses
they wish to take,”” Luks said.

Birr stressed that “‘an overall
survey of the student body hasn’t
been conducted but students are
represented.

The ‘‘4x4’’ proposal will pro-
vide the university with an op-

potunity to restructure the cur-
rent academic guidelines, provdie
more space to incoming students,
and allow for more intensive con-
centration in subject matter.

However, workloads would in-
crease, variety in course selection
would be limited, and transfer
students or credits would be
effected.

A full committee report is
scheduled to be given when the
council meets again. ao

Great Dane hockey club places second at ECHL

By John LeGloahec
‘STAFF WRITER

The Eastern Collegiate Hockey League
held its playoffs March 3rd and 4th in
Syracuse. Albany’s 15-5-1 record earned
them a ticket.

Albany’s 15-5-1 record was a noticeable
improvement over last year’s dismal show-
ing. The team boasted a 7-4-1 record
within their division, one of seven teams.
Albany’s only loss outside it was to
Broome Community College on January
24.

The skating Danes travelled to Syracuse
to prove their worth in the E.C.H.L.
playoffs. The first games pitted Albany
against Niagara University. During the
regular season they split two games.
Albany managed to defeat Niagara 3-2 in
overtime.

Niagara found the mark first, scoring
with fourteen seconds remaining in the
first period. Albany pulled even when
Scott Goldstein took a pass from Bill Hot-
ter and shot the puck past goaltender Mark
Babowicz.

The power play gave Niagara their se-
cond goal with 2:45 remaining in the se-
cond period. Albany played catchup once
again, Hotter scored unassisted just over a
minute into the third period, tying the
score at two.

Regulation ended with the score 2-2.
The two teams faced off for sudden death
overtime (ten minutes, whoever scores
first, wins). Finally, with just fifty-nine
seconds remaining in the first overtime,
Hotter fed Matt Singer, who scored to end
the game.

Niagara’s goaltender, Babowicz was ex-
ceptional in net, facing sixty-eight shots on
goal. Babowicz held Albany scoreless in
the first, even though the Danes unleashed
twenty-four shots at the net.

Albany’s victory over Niagara earned.
them the right to face off against Cortland

in the finals the next day. Albany lost both
games during the regular season. This
game proved no different. Albany lost by a
score of 9-3, and settled for a second place
trophy.

Albany scored first, when Steve Hart-
man put the puck home at 7:32 of the first
period. Cortland pulled even when Kelly
Garvin scored a power play goal with six
seconds remaining in the first period. Cor-
tland then scored two goals in the early
minutes of the second period. Albany got
one back at the 9:11 mark of the second,
when Ed Grano scored to make the score
3-2.

Cortland’s Tony Daley then scored
unassisted to put Cortland up by two at
10:32. Albany responded with a goal by
Hotter twenty-three seconds into the third
period. This pulled Albany to within one
of Cortland.

The third period proved to be a fast pac-
ed show of skill. Of the ten goals scored in
the game, half were scored in the third.
Hotter scored number five just thirty-eight
seconds into the period. One minute later,
Hotter completed his second hat trick
(three goals in one game), scoring again
off a pass from Dave Dalbec. Le Moyne
managed to score two more times, in-
cluding a power play goal with eighteen
seconds left in the game. Albany’s Mike
Frank scored the team’s seventh goal at
13:29 of the third period.

Albany’s backup goaltender, David
Wooley excelled in net stopping twenty-
seven shot, while Le Moyne’s netminder,
Jim Simons, deserves fair credit, stopping
forty-eight shots from Albany’s sticks.

Coach Bruce Pomakoy, speaking before
the game, had called these games
“crucial”” as they determined Albany’s
position and opponent in the playoff
round. Goaltender David Kornreich, who
had been chased from net in the defeat by
Ithaca, felt that, ‘‘We played the best we

have played all season in those two
games.’”

The rest of the game then belonged to
Cortland. They exploded for five
unanswered goals. The Albany defense fell
apart as five of the ten shots faced by
goalie Dave Kornreich found their mark.
Albany could not seem to get back into the
game. Cortland’s 9-3 victory gave them a
second place trophy which will serve as in-
centive to excel further next season.

Earlier, the team rounded out its regular
season games with two home games played
February 25 and 26 at Clifton Park Arena.

The first game found Albany facing off
against Ithaca. Albany went down to
defeat by a score of 10-4. Ithaca jumped
out to a 4-0 lead by the end of the first
period, taking advantage of a ten-minute
misconduct penalty served to Sean Mur-
taugh at 3:11 of the first. Although Albany
outshot Ithaca 15-9 in the first period,
none found their mark.

Ithaca opened the scoring of the second
period when Jeff Randall scored a shor-
thanded goal at 2:55. Albany’s Steve Hart-
man put the Danes on the board at 4:20 of
the second period. Hotter, scored the first
of his three goals at 7:08, taking a pass
from Dave Dalbec. Ithaca scored two
more times in the second, and Albany went
to the locker room at the end of two period
down by five goals.

The third period found Rob Hen-
drickson replacing Dabe Kornreich in net
for the Danes. Ithaca had no qualms about
a new goaltender, they posted their eighth
goal at 5:58. Hotter then scored goals three
and four for Albany at 7:51 and 12:23.

Albany managed, despite, the loss, to
outshoot Ithaca 36-20. Ithaca stymied
Albany’s power play, holding them to only
two power play goals in eleven attempts.
Ithaca also scored three shorthanded
goals. Ithaca’s power play team conbined
for four of their ten goals.

The second of the two game weekend
pitted the Danes. against Le Moyne Col-
lege. Albany rebounded from the Ithaca
rout, defeating Le Moyne 7-3. Hotter pro-
ved to be the star of the game scoring six of
the team’s seven goals.

Hotter drew first blood at 6:50 of the
first, scoring off a pass from captain Dave
Dalbec. Le Moyne’s Rob Malloy was then
assessed a delay-of-game penalty, allowing
Hotter to score a power play goal at 8:07.
Hotter continued to shine, scoring an
unassisted, shorthanded goal at 11:10. The
second period found the Danes up by three
goals. Albany posted number four when
Hotter shot the puck past Le Moyne
goaltender Jim Simmons at 9;45 of the se-
cond period. Le Moyne’s Blaine Perrin put
his team on the board, scoring a power
play goal at 10:21. o

field, 40 percent, after shooting 47 percent
on the season.
The victory gave Albany 20 for the
season and Sauers 560 for his career.
“The 20 is more important (than the
560),”’ said Sauers, ‘20 wins is a good
season.’”

The game was the last for Dane seniors
Russ Teague, Matt McClure, and Stephen
Jermyn, but the memories of beating
Potsdam and winning the ECAC cham-
pionship will remain with them forever. 1

On March third and fourth, Great Dane
wrestling coach Joe DeMeo watched six of
his top wrestlers compete in the NCAA
Division III Wrestling Championships at
John Carroll University in Cleveland,
Ohio.

The ensuing matches proved fruitful for
the Danes, as two of the six wrestlers
achieved All-American Status for their
outstanding perfomances: team captain
Chris Zogloy (150 Ibs.) and Albany native,
Junior Greg Jones (167 Ibs.). The 1988-89
season marks the tenth year in a row that
at least one Great Dane wrestler has earned
the All-American honor.

“4 program that consistently produces
wrestlers that receive national recognition
is one to be reckoned with,” said DeMeo.

Although only two of the six Albany
competitors received honors, strong ef-
forts were turned in by every wrestler.

Freshman Steve Mitola (118 Ibs.) turned
in a “blue chip’ effort as he nearly
defeated number one seed Joe Dasti of
Kean College in the first round, falling 7-5.

“Unfortunately, through the draw,
Steve had to wrestle the top man in his

Yet another
NCAA tourney

By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR

The pools have started. the forecasting
has begun. 64 teams will begin their quest
towards the 1989 NCAA Division I
Basketball Championship.

Before I make my predictions, let’s
take a run through the field.

In the East, Georgetown takes_on.
Princeton. Academically, I’ll give it to
the Tigers. Unfortunately, these games
are played on the court. Hoyas in the ob-
vious cakewalk.

The only other game with interest in
the East in our local Siena Saints (Don’t
you love their new nickname) taking on
the Stanford Cardinals.

The only thing these teams have in
common is that they both used to be call-
ed Indians. Stanford will scalp the Saints.
Nice try Siena, with you guys gone, I
won’t have to listen to Bob McNamara
on Channel 13 talk about how great you
are.

Heading out West, we find UNLV tak-
ing on Idaho. Oh boy, the team majoring
in Potato Studies plays against Blackjack
Majors. If this isn’t the Country vs. City
Matchup, I don’t know what is.

The Southeast regional features the
best player you’ve never heard of:
LaSalle’s Lionel Simmons.

Simmons, a junior forward, is third in
the nation in scoring (28.4) and sixth in
rebounding (11.3). Keep an eye on him
and the Explorers, they could surprise.

The last bracket; the Midwest boasts a
Match-up of Ball State vs. Pittsburgh.
Dave Letterman could play for his alma
mater, but the Panthers should win.

Now let’s get serious, and I’ll reveal
my predictions. Last year I only got one
tight. My upset special, Kansas, not only
got to the Final Four, but won the whole
thing.

This year, it’s (drum roll please);
North Carolina (S.E.), Arizona (W.),
Syracuse (M.W.), and Duke (E.). It'll be
Arizona vs. Syracuse in the champion-
ship. The Wildcats will be National
champs. ae

My associate, Gil, picks Louisville
(M.W.), North Carolina (S.E.), lowa
,), and Arizona (W.). It’ll be Louisville
vs. Arizona in the big one, and the Car-
dinals taking the whole thing.

No matter who wins, just sit back,
drink lots of your favorite beverage, and

enjoy a hoop junkie’s dream; two days of
Straight basketball. a

Two Albany grapplers become All-Americans

weight class in the first round,’ said
DeMeo. “‘It was a tough break, but I was
very proud of his performance.’”

At 142 lbs., Sophomore Bill Mallin was
defeated in a “‘pigtail’’ (qualifying) match
in overtime (4-3) to Jason Albaugh of
Wabash College.

“Tt was a tough loss for Bill,” said
DeMeo. ‘‘As a freshman he finished fifth
in the regionals. He improved tremendous-
ly by reaching the NCAA Championships
this year.””

Zogloy wrestled five times throughout
the tournament posting a very respectable
3-2 record. Overall, he placed eighth in his
weight class for the tournament. His first
defeat came against Dave Zariczny of Cor-
tland State, a foe from the regular season,
in a 1-1 overtime decision; Zariczny was
hailed the victor as he was judged as main-
taining a dormant hold over his opponent
for an extended time period. The second
loss came at the hands of Shawn Voight of
Cornell, 4-2, in yet another closely knit
encounter.

“Chris is a tribute to our program,”’said
DeMeo. “‘He is most deserving of his All-
American status.’’

Freshman John Pavlin turned a few
heads by qualifying for the tournament in
his first season as a Dane grappler. Unfor-
tunately, he fell in the early rounds to
some more experienced wrestlers.

“John is going to be around for a few
more years,” said Demeo. ‘‘We’re looking
for him to make several return visits to the
championship tournament.”

Jones (167 Ibs.) wrestled four times
posting a 2-2 mark for the tournament.
After a first round victory versus Rob Mc-
Cauley of Kean College (7-5), Jones, seed-
ed eighth in his weight class, fell to number
one seed Joe Schmidt (12-2), who was
wrestling on his home mat at John Carroll
University. Schmidt had pinned his
previous opponent at 2:26 in the first
period. Greg rebounded in fortuitous
fashion as he performed well in his remain-
ing two matches: overcoming Brian Bos of
Buena Vista College (6-4) and yielding to
Mike Yanasik of Cortland (3-2). Jones
placed seventh in the tournament, achiev-
ing his All-American standing.

“Greg has worked hard all season to
Overcome some nagging injuries,’’ said
DeMeo. ‘‘He is finally starting to fulfill his
enormous potential.”

Rounding up the field, sophomore Chris
Roberts (177 Ibs.) was overmatched by Bill
Finkle of Rutgers, seeded seventh, as
Roberts was shutout, 13-0. Chris found
the going equally difficult in the consola-
tion rounds as he lost to Peter Wang of the
University of Chicago by ‘‘fall’’ at 5:11 in
the second period.

Overall, the Danes had a strong outing
at this years NCAA Championships. The
most encouraging sign is that all six, that’s
right - all six, of the 1989 tournament
qualifiers will be returning next season.

Without question, DeMeo’s Danes have
much to be proud of and much to look for-
ward to in the upcoming seasons. The
tradition rolls onward. oO

Dane ski team remains competitive

By Peter Sterling

The 1988-1989 season has to be deemed
one of the most exciting in the Albany Ski
Team’s history. Bolstered by an impressive
freshman class, the Danes remained highly
competitive despite losing many of its top
skiers to graduation plus being hit hard by
a lack of snow at its practice site, Willard
Mountain.

Through the five race schedule, the men
placed 11th, 7th, 11th, 12th and 9th, and
the women 11th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 10th
in the 16 team National Collegiate Ski
Association Mideast Conference.

The men’s A-team lost five of its six
starters to graduation last spring and
number two skier, senior Bruce Berdan to
a season ending ankle injury in early
January. Berdan has been one of Albany’s
most consistent racers for the past three
years.

The women’s team also faced a
rebuilding year with only two returning
skiers, Daryl Bart and Pam Fishman. The
season’s lack of snow cut hard into
Albany’s practice time. Willard Mountain
was unable to provide enough snow to
practice giant slalom safely and as a result
the Danes managed only two days of giant
slalom training over the seven week
season. .

This year’s freshman class was an im-
portant part of the success of this year’s
team. Kingston freshman Mike Meagher

came in and filled the number one spot
better than anyone had hoped. He skied
consistently all season and was always
among the top twenty finishers in both
slalom and giant slalom.

Rafa Rodriguez, from Yorktown, N.Y.
and Dan Cuff from N.Y.C. are two more
promising freshmen who had an impact on
the team. Rodriguez skied in the fifth posi-
tion, where he performed well including a
33rd place effort. Although somewhat er-
ratic, Cuff skied well enough to earn the
number two spot on the B-team.

Also skiing for the Danes were junior
John Bricker in the number two spot,
senior co-captain Dwight Boerem number
four and junior Tim Hale in the number
three spot. All three consistently placed in
the top forty-five with Bricker twice in the
top thirty. With the loss of only three
skiers to graduation plus the valuable ex-
perience gained by the younger skiers. the
Men’s A-team should be ready to
challenge the top teams in the conference
next year.

The women’s ski team was led
throughout the season by Dutch transfer
student Carine Jaensch. Jaensch skied ag-
gressively all season long and suprised
many people with two outstanding perfor-
mances, placing her in the top 25 finishers
overall.

One of the most improved skiers is
senior Lorraine Ferrigno, despite this be-
ing only her second year skiing com-

petitively, she placed in the top 45 several
times. Senior Daryl Bart was also a solid
performer for the women finishing as high
as 24th.

The men’s B-team was highlighted by
several top tem performances, including a
ninth by Peter Sterling, seventh by Dave
Baxter, and senior captain Rich Cunn-
ingham placing a remarkable fourth in the
slalom in the season ending regionals.

A major factor in the success of the ski
team was the team’s physical condidtion.
For four days a week, from early October
to December, Cunningham led the team
through the dryland training regimen
prescribed by the United States Ski Team.
Included in the practices were cross-
country runs, soccer, Indian sprints and
workouts in the nautilus room. The
tremendous team spirit was also a part of
this year’s success. In an individual sport
such as skiing, you rarely hear of a team
being as supportive as Albany was. For ex-
ample, at the West Mountain race, thirty
spectators climbed the hill to cheer the
Albany racers on.

Among the goals being set for next
year’s team are hosting a race at Hunter
Mountain and the formation of a
Women’s B-team. Cunningham says,
“The number one goal for next year’s
team is definitely the development of solid,
consistent female skiers. The formation of
a women’s B-team is crucial for that suc-
ee

NCAA tournament begins this weekend

(AP) It is certainly the richest college tour-
nament of all time, and probably the most
wide open.

And the way Eastern teams are headed
west and Western teams are headed east,
this promises to be the most national Na-
tional Collegiate Athletic Association
basketball tournament.

“This year’s tournament is truly a na-
tional tournament,’’ Jim Delany,
chairman-designate the selection commit-
tee, said Sunday when the 64-team NCAA
bracket was unveiled. ‘I think we’ve come
as close to having equal brackets, with
equal regions, as we have in all my
experience.””

The committee met in Kansas City from
Friday morning to Sunday afternoon
before emerging with 34 at-large entries to
go with 30 automatic qualifiers as con-
ference regular season or tournament
champions.

Each of the four regions has teams seed-
ed one through 16. Picking the teams, and
deciding where to assign them, consumed
most of the weekend.

First-round play begins Thursday and
Friday at sites around the country, with
the No. 1 seed playing No. 16, No. 2
meeting No. 15, etc.

The second-round winners advance to
the regional semifinals the following

weekend, and the regional winners con-
verge in Seattle the first week in April for
the Final Four. The title game will be April
3, and each Final Four team is guaranteed
more than $1.2 million, according to
NCAA estimates.

The payouts, in the final year of the
NCAA’s three-year contract with CBS, are
slightly higher than last year’s and the
highest in tourney history.

The conferences that have dominated
the tournament throughout this decade
continued to hold sway. The ACC match-
ed the tournament record with six teams,
followed by the Big Ten, Big East and
Southeastern conferences with five. [

Albany- 1989 ECAC champs

Shene leads Great Danes to first championship since 1978

By Gil Kaminer
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Basketball experts say that the sixth man
is the most important on the team. Danny
Ainge and Kevin McHale both started as
sixth men. Albany sophomore forward
Michael Shene was the sixth man this year.

After Albany’s 83-76 victory (raising
their final record to 20-8) Saturday night in
the Upstate ECAC Champinshop game,
Dane coach Dick Sauers can say with con-
fidence “‘He’ll be the foundation of the
team next year.’”

Shene came off the bench to score 21
points on nine of 10 shooting to lead the
Danes over Geneseo State to capture the ti-
tle. The championship is Albany’s first in

11 years(also ECAC and second ever).

Shene came into the game with 13:36 re-
maining in the first and caught fire im-
mediately. With Albany down 17-13,
Shene scored the next six Dane points to tie
the score at 19 with 11:35 left, the last
basket coming after a steal by Jeff Farn-
sworth and a quick pass from Dennis
Cutts.

The spark provided by Shene ignited the
rest of the team. Over the next three
minutes, Albany outscored the Knights
11-7 to take a 30-26 with 8:38 remaining.
Farnsworth hit two jumpers during the
stretch, and the run was capped by a three
pointer by Cutts.

When Shene hit two free throws with
6:14, the Danes had a 36-31 lead.

Geneseo would cut that lead to two

39-37 when the Knights leading scorer Jim
Clar hit a jumper with 4:47 left.

Albany outscored Geneseo the rest of
the half, 9-4. The score at the half was
47-41.

The Danes used a new defense to shut
down Clar: a box and one. It is designed to
shut down a dominant player. It did just
that. Clar scored just seven points in the
half.

Shene finished the half with 14 points on
six of six shooting. He added four re-
bounds. Dane senior Stephen Jermyn
scored eight points in the half.

Geneseo played a tight inside defense
that held Dane leading scorer Russ Teague
to just five points in the half.

“‘He’s (Clar) so smart, defensively that
he makes the entire defense better,”’ said
Sauers.

Dane Matt McClure hit a three pointer
50 seconds into the half to give Albany
their biggest lead 51-43.

The Dane lead was seven, 58-54, when
Shene entered the game in the second half.

He again started with a bang. Just one
minute after entering, Shene hit two quick
shots to give Albany a 63-55 lead with
11:59 left in the game.

This time, Shene’s magic did not rub off
on his teammates. Over the next 4:30, the
Knights outscored the Danes 11-3 to tie the
game 66-66 with 7:43 remaining.

Geneseo scored four of the next seven
points and took the lead 70-69. It was their
first lead since 11:18 of the first half when

MIKE ACKERMAN UPS.

the score was 21-19. The field goal that
gave them the lead was scored by Clar, his
only points of the half. Geneseo increased
their lead to three, 72-69, with 5:21
remaining.

The rest of the game was all Albany.
The Danes outscored the Knights 14-4 the
rest of the game, including a buzzer beater
three pointer by Stephen Mulderry.

Clar tried to turn into a one man show in
the final minutes. He missed three shots in-
cluding a very big front end of a one and
one with 23 seconds remaining and
Geneseo down by four.

‘‘He’s like Croutier (Albany alumnus),”’
said Sauers, ‘he jumps in the air and tries
to draw a foul.”

Shene finished with 9 of 10 shooting for
21 points. He also added eight rebounds.

“I was just lucky,’’ Shene said,
“everything was just falling tonight. After
the collapses on Teague and McClure, I
just step into the open. I can’t think of a
better feeling that when your on,” he
added.

Teague had a big second half, shooting
four of eight to finish with 19 points. He
also had 11 rebounds.

“T was nervous. I got my act together in
the second half. I couldn’t have done it if
my number one fan, Danielle
Roseborough wasn’t behind me the whole
season.”

McClure led the team with 12 rebounds.
He added eight points.

“I wanted to do well,’’ said McClure,
“but I was rushing my shots. My Mom
and Dad were great supporters.”’

Geneseo had four players in double
figures. Clar was held to just nine points,
12 points under his season average. Clar
was also the leading assist man during the
season but had only three in the game.

Speaking of assists, Mulderry had 10 for
the game.

Geneseo shot only 28 of 69 from the
