Rally protests SDI research

By Kristina D.H. Anderson
A crowd of students gathered

Wednesday afternoon in front of

the Campus Center for a rally

against ‘‘Star Wars’’ research on

SUNYA campus.

Similar demonstrations were
also held on the SUNY Buffalo
and SUNY Stony Brook
campuses.

Sponsored by Peace Project,
the rally featured speakers from
the Knolls Action Project and
New York Interest Research
Group. A demonstration of why
the ‘‘Star Wars’’ (SDI or
Strategic Defense Initiative)
won’t work was also held.

Students held hand-made signs
that read, ‘‘SDI Out Of SUNY’’
and ‘‘Teach Peace, Don’t
Research War.”’ _

SDI theorectically involves the
creation of an impenetrable shield
which would make it impossible

to attack the U.S. with nuclear

weapons. Thus far the govern-
ment has spent trillions of dollars
on the system, which is not yet
functioning, according to op-
ponents of SDI.
Peace Project’s objection to
the research here at SUNYA, and
to SDI in general, is that,
although many scientists involved

with the system claim that it will
never be effective, money is still

being poured into it. At the same
time aid Peace Project sees a con-
nection between these situations,
according to Peace Project. -

Since SUNYA is an educational
institution, Peace Project said
they feel it should not be involved
in warfare or even military
research.

Brian Obach, a member of Students debated Wednesday on the SDI issue

Peace Project opened the rally by
explaining what SDI is and why
SUNYA should not be involved
in researching it.

Obach spoke of the ineffec-
tiveness of the system and quoted
scientists as saying that missile
decoys or computer malfunctions
could easily overwhelm the
system.

The tremendous monetary ex-
penditure involved would
therefore be wasted and would be
used better on social issues such
as education, housing and health
care, according to Obach.
Carolyn Mow, a member of
Knolls Action Project, an anti-
nuclear group, then encouraged
the crowd to ‘‘keep fighting SDI

here at SUNYA-it’s the onl

morally correct thing you can
do.”’

David Finz of Peace Project

then mobilized everyone with
chants of ‘‘Books, Not Bombs’’
and ‘‘Money for Tuition, Not
Ammunition.”’
““‘We’re right here,’’ Finz said,
“‘but across campus in the Ad-:
ministration building is where
they make all the decisions. We
want to make enough noise so
they will hear us across campus.”’
Obach, Finz, and Daniella
Korotzer, also of Peace Project,
demonstrated SDI’s_ineffec-
tiveness by handing out balls of
rolled-up tin foil to the crowd.
Korotzer stood with a worn-out
umbrella with large holes in it,

Racist graffiti prompts action

Resolution addresses tension, calls for University coalition -

By Morgan Lyle
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The Student Association Cen-
tral Council passed a resolution
Wednesday condemning racist
acts and calling for the formation
of a University-wide coalition to

combat racial problems at
SUNYA.

The resolution is a response to
what some people have called a
high level of racial tension at the
University.

The resolution said the racist
graffiti that has been found in
various parts of the campus ‘‘has
significantly hampered student
life, and particularly that of
minority students,’’ and,‘‘also
has the potential to incite
violence. ’’ .

The resolution also said,‘‘The
Student Association feels that the
administration here at SUNY
Albany has not taken a strong
enough stand on the issue.’’

Indian Quad representative
Fermin Espinoza, Alumni Quad
representative Amado Lambert,
off-campus representative
Dwayne Wilkins addressed the
during the meeting’s in-
troductory remarks.

Each referred to a letter from
off-campus representative Brian
-Lowy to ‘‘all Minority Affairs
Groups,’’ in which Lowy express-

ed his disappointment over blacks.

leaving a recent racial tension
meeting.

The letter, which offended
some minority leaders, spoke
about ‘‘revenge racist attitudes
that have come as a result of the

racist graffiti found on the

elevators.’’

Lowy apologized at the Council
meeting to ‘‘anyone I might have
offended with my letter.’’

Lawson, Espinoza, Lambert
and Wilkins each thanked Lowy
for his apology, but added that

his letter ‘‘highlights’’? some of

the causes of racial tension.
“‘Even though you did
apologize...I think it is time to
‘educate’ on some of the things in
the letter.’’ Espinoza told Lowy.
‘**Our reason for walking out of
the room was that the meeting
was very chaotic,’’ Espinoza said.
‘*“We walked out to get our heads
together to say look, here’s what

we want the Student Association ,

to do.””
“Any group that experiences

racism knows it better than any

_ other group that’s not under the

same kind of oppression,’’
Esponoza continued. ‘‘You can
read books, you can write
theories, you can read articles,
you can read magazines, but
you’ve got to feel it.”’

“There is nothing you can do

Cohen questioned
in SA Supreme Court

By lan Wagreich
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR :

After a November 2nd deci-
sion by Central Council which
passed Student Association Vice
President Fern Cohen’s ap-
pointment of Transportation
Director, the issue was contested
and taken to an SA Supreme

Court hearing, held Thursday

night.

The appeal criticized Cohen’s
appointment of Socrates
Fronhofer. Fronhofer was ap-
pointed by Cohen under SA
policy, which makes that ap-
pointment her responsibility.

The complaint was made by

Rohan Campbell, who was the |

only other student considered
for the job. Campbell’s com-
plaint stemmed from Affir-
mative Action policy regarding
equal opportunity, expressly
giving the right to appoint an
‘equal’ candidate for the job if
he/she is considered equal and is
a minority.

Cohen was criticized in her
selection as prosecution counsel
Lou Tobias tried to prove that

Campbell was considered equal
= }-to' Fronhofers:>< <<.
| The scope of the argument lay

in whether Cohen expressly used
the term ‘equal’ in her conversa-
tions with SA Affirmative Ac-
tion Officer Lesley Messiah and
in Central Council minutes. ©
Messiah claimed that on three

occasions, including the Central -

Council meeting in question,
Cohen used the term ‘equal.’
Council minutes did not reflect
that allegation; neither did the
testimony given by Central
Council Chair Shawn Thomp-

son or Council Vice-Chair Dan.

Peltz.
“‘Fern stated they were
qualified, but never stated that

they were equal,’’ Thompson

said.

Messiah in her testimony said
that Cohen used the term equal
in defining both candidates’
abilities to handle the job, and
“I explained to Fern about the
Affirmative Action policy and
that we must comply,’’ Messiah
said as a witness for the prosecu-
tion. Messiah assumed that
Cohen was familiar with: this
policy that she was previously
given.

“*This is a state university that
operates under local, state, and
federal laws on Affirmative Ac-
tion. We must follow the
policies and rationale on
discrimination,’’ Messiah said
after the hearing.

The interview in question,

held by Cohen, with Messiah

present, focused on each can-
didate’s ability to handle the job

| as transportation director. After

the interview was completed,

Cohen felt it was necessary to

call each candidate and to find
out whether either was affiliated
with any organization on cam-
pus, according to testimony.

After conducting this call,

Cohen learned that Campbell is
the vice-president of the Pan
Caribbean Association and con-
sidered this in her decision.
Cohen did not want a person in
the position who was bogged
down with too much work or
would have a bias in allocation

of the SA vehicle. Cohen also .

tesitified that. which candidate
had a better mechanical ability
was a consideration.

‘‘Socrates had more detailed
experience, he has worked with
a mechanic,’’ Cohen testified.

Messiah also said that Cohen
did not notify her of the deci-
sion after requesting of her to
do so.

Alan Rafterman, counsel for
Cohen, claimed that ‘‘Fern
Cohen did not violate policy and
went out of her way to give each
candidate a chance. She made a
choice on the candidate that had
no affiliation with a.
group ...that is a perfectly

‘legitimate reason to use.’’

Rafterman added that Cohen
‘‘complied with Affirmative Ac-
tion policy.’’

Both defense and prosecution
battled issues. that more
specifically related to the deci-
sion made, such as whether or
not a transportation director
would be biased, was Cohen

discriminatory, did she actually

use the term ‘equal,’ and
whether she was biased to
Fronhofer’s appointment were
discussed. It was alleged by the
prosecution that Cohen sug-

gested to Fronhofer that he app-

ly to the position, before Cohen
was in office.

This was refuted. Cohen said
that this was brought up
amongst a group of people when
she was not in office. This had
no effects on Fronhofer’s deci-
sion, she claimed. _

Fronhofer concurred. ‘‘I
made the decision on my own,’’
and had no outside influence, he
said. ;

Rafterman moved for a
dismissal after an hour of

_ deliberation because, ‘‘the pro-

secution has failed to cite any
specific policy that has been
broken,’’ Rafterman argued.

The seven Justices voted to
decline Rafterman’s request. .

The prosecution was sug-
gesting a breach in Affirmative
Action on a grand scale rather
than anything specific, accor-
ding to Cohen.

‘*I was acting in my role a Af-
firmative Action Officer, which
is to make sure students have
equal representation, based on
the population,’’ Messiah
explained. —

Cohen was asked how many
other minority appointments
she had made and speculated at
three since she has been in
office.

“‘T thought that he [Campbell]
would be very valuable in
another position,’”” Cohen said,

Shooting kills six

Johannesburg, South Africa
(AP) The government on Wednesday
pledged to crack down on right-wing ex-
tremists after a shooting rampage by a
white supremacist left six blacks dead in
downtown Pretoria.

Barend Strydom, the 23-year-old ar-
rested after the shootings, quit the national
police force in February while facing
misconduct charges. At the time, Strydom
said officers searching his home had found
a photograph showing him with a knife in
one hand and a black man’s severed head
in the other.

Four men and two. women were killed in
the midafternoon shooting spree Tuesday,
and 16 people - 15 blacks and one Asian -
were wounded. Witnesses said the gunman
laughed as he fired at his victims with an
automatic pistol from close range over a
15-minute period before he was arrested.

Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok
said Strydom was a member of the new-
Nazi Afrikaner Resistance Movement and
claimed to be the leader of a right-wing
vigilante group called the White Wolves.
Anonymous telephone callers have claim-

ed responsibility on behalf of the White.

Wolves for recent arson and bomb attacks
on offices of anti-apartheid groups.

Rebels arrested

Caracas, Venezualz
(AP) A military court investigating the
killing of 14 fisherman by Venezualan
soldiers had two survivors arrested
Wednesday on charges of ‘‘military
rebellion,’’ and opposition leader said.

Wolmer Gregorio Pinilla and Jose
Augusto Arias were handed over to
military police in the presence of opposi-
tion politicians, Walter Marquez of the lef-
tist Socialist Movement party said from his
offices in San Cristobal.

EI Diario, a daily newspaper in Caracas,
reported Wednesday that the court at San
Cristobal, in Tachira state 330 miles
southwest of Caracas, exonerated the
soldiers involved in the killings on grounds
of self-defense. :

Philadelphia, Pa..
(AP) A man suspected of stealing an un-
marked State Police car filled with
weapons surrendered to police after
threatening to hang himself from the roof
of a rowhouse, authorities said.

Police spotted Andrew Kane on a street
and tried to serve a warrant for his arrest
in the Nov. 8 theft when he took off on
foot Wednesday afternoon.

Lt. T.Y. Blocker of the State Police said
officers chased Kane, 28, about a block
before he climbed onto the roof of a

rowhouse and continued to run along.

rooftops.

Blocker said Kane wrapped a rope
around his neck and waist and tied it to a
pipe on the second story roof of a three
story rowhouse and held police at bay for
1% hours. :

The rope had been attached to a televi-
sion antenna on the roof of the rowhouses,
Blocker said.

Kane surrendered at 4 p.m. and was
charged with auto theft, receiving stolen
goods and weapons violations, police said.

Proclamation rejected

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Reagan administration today re-
jected a PLO proclamation of an indepen-
dent Palestinian state, asserting that the
Arab-Israeli conflict must be settled by
negotiations and not by unilateral acts.
Spokesman Charles Redman said the
status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip
“cannot be determined by unilateral acts
of either side but only through a process of

negotiations. ’’

*‘A declaration of independent Palesti-
nian statehood is such a unilateral act,’’
Redman said. A similar statement was
issued by White House spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater.

Redman said the administration has not
yet seen the final text of the resolution ap-
pi uved by the PNC but promised it would
receive serious study.

The State
Plant OK planned

Albany
(AP) The state’s utility rate-setting body is
expected to give its final approval today to
the Cuomo administration’s plan to
dismantle the Shoreham nuclear power
plant on Long Island.

The Public Service Commission was
scheduled to formulate an order embody-
ing its 6-1 vote in September backing the
agreement between Gov. Mario Cuomo
and Shoreham’s owners, the Long Island
Lighting Co.

Commission members were generally
lukewarm toward the Shoreham agree-
ment when discussing the issue in
September, but said they were approving it

because there was no feasible alternative.

The lone dissenter in that vote, Commis-
sioner James McFarland, has informed the
commission he will speak against the
agreement again today at the commission’s
meeting in Albany, PSC spokesman Fran-
cis Rivett said Tuesday.

AIDS case decided

Albany
(AP) New York state health officials and
gay rights activists have won the first
round of a court battle against allowing
the AIDS-related virus to be considered a
communicable disease.

But an attorney representing the physi-
cians’ group filing the suit to force
designation of the virus as sexually
transmissible and therefore reportable said
Tuesday he would appeal the state
Supreme Court decision.

The ruling was handed down early last
week but only made public Tuesday.

Had the virus been declared a com-
municable disease under the Public Health
Law, doctors would have been required to
contact sexual partners of people who
tested positive for the HIV virus that has
been linked to AIDS. Such a declaration
would also have given local health officials
the power to quarantine AIDS patients,
according to state health officials.

The Student Association will begin
operating a computerized book exchange
later this month, according to Dutch
Quad Central Council Rep. Laurie Beth
Cohen.

Students wanting to buy textbooks or
offering books for sale will be listed in a
computer. Students looking for a par-
ticular book will be given the names and
phone numbers of those offering the
book and vice versa, Cohen said.

The exchange will not set book prices,
Cohen said. Students will set the prices of
the books they are selling, possibly enabl-
ing them to make more money back than
if they sold the books to the Barnes and
Noble bookstore, she said. She added
that the prices of used books may be

‘lower than those of Barnes and Noble.

The service, which will be free for
SUNYA students, is new to the campus,

Smoking trends change on campus

By D. Forster
STAFF WRITER
In 1977, SUNYA implemented a smok-
ing policy throughout the campus.
However, in the past 10 years the policy
has been subject to extreme changes.
The initial ban on smoking pertained
more specifically to classrooms. At that
time the primary concerns were with the
environment and the cost. ‘‘It is very ex-
pensive to clean up a classroom filled with
‘cigarette butts, not to mention burnt
rugs,’’ said Lewis Welch, Vice President
for University Affairs.
In 1984 such areas as elevators and
public corridors were added to the list due
to a concern with fire and safety, while en-

suring designated smoking areas in many ©

of the buildings.

The most recent policy, implemented in
1988, has severly cut down on areas for
smoking in addition to prohibiting it en-

tirely in dining areas and such buildings as"

the theatre, library, and the gym. All these

| areas obtained specific smoking areas this

time last year.

“There are nine buildings throughout
the campus that have no designated smok-
ing areas whatsoever,’’ Welch said. Welch
explained that included in the policy is a
statement that announces that the overall
objective of the policy is to have a smoke-
free campus by the year 1990. ‘‘What this
means is that there will be no smoking
anywhere on the SUNYA campus,’’ Welch
said. ‘‘I think it is very possible to have a
smoke-free environment.”’

Welch discussed the suggestion of a ban
on cigarette machines on campus. ‘“These

people believe that this is another step

towards discouraging smoking. They claim

we don’t have to conveniently provide
tobacco on campus.”’

‘‘Some feel very strongly about the right —

to smoke, and that’s understandable,”’
Welch said. ‘‘However, others feel that the
campus has the obligation to be hospitable
and corteous to its members and guests.”’

Welch said he believes the cause for the
‘new policy has to do with health. ‘“The.

change over the last 10 to 15 years is strik-
ing, dramatic,’’ Welch stated,
acknowledging that there has been a

significant decline in the amount of
smokers in the last decade.

“*You go to meetings where people can
smoke and they usually don’t,’? Welch
said, attributing this to what he believes is
an increase in conscientiousness. ‘‘People
are now more concerned with where and
around whom they are smoking.”’

Welch, who was a cigar smoker for 20
years, said he cut down considerably after
a substantial amount of negative responses
from others.

Elyssa Danels, a SUNYA student,
agreed with Welch. ‘‘I am a smoker, but I
don’t think people should be bombarded
with my smoke,’’ Danels said.

However, Danels’ faith that the policy is
being enforced is limited. ‘‘If they’re gon-
na make rules then they better follow
through with them or else they’re useless,””
she said.

Other student smokers were asked how
the policy affected them. “It doesn’t
bother us, we do it anyway,’’ replied
Jackie Eichner and Aimee Richter, while
smoking in the campus center cafeteria,
one of the places designated as a non-
‘smoking area.

According to the new policy the only
area in the campus center where smoking is
allowed is the west wing - the lounge by the
Student Association offices.

When asked whether he believed the
policy was being carried out, Welch com-

mented, “‘I think it has been generally well —

received.’’ He stressed that the idea behind
the policy is really to encourage people not
to smoke. ‘‘It is an awareness movement, =
Welch said.

Welch also mentioned ee type of
policy that was introduced along with the
first one in the spring of 1988. This policy
regards smoking in the work place. The
rule relates to all university employees, and

- once again is focused on finding a

designated area for personnel to smoke. In
addition, no employee can smoke in any

_ public access area, such as the pepisiral or.
- financial aid offices.

~ Smoking is prohibited i in any areas of the
‘quads except for individual suites, and one
area in which each quad governs: as a
smoking section. :

Students reactions to smoking were mix-
ed. One common response wah in respect
to food. ‘‘I don’t mind in a club, or ina ©
bar, but not when I’m eating,”’ said stu-
dent Marc Selden.

In regard to the policy itself, Charlie
Frisina summed up many students reac-
tions in stating, ‘‘any place that wears the
oppurtunity for offensiveness should pro-
hibit smoking,” 0

Smokeout tests

ability to quit

‘By David Cole

Smokers were asked to take the first
step towards quitting yesterday as part of
the 12th annual Great American
Smokeout.

Last year 19.6 million smokers par-
ticipated. However only 5.8 million suc-
ceeded in making it through the day.

The event’s chairs, Lynn Bove and
Gayle Thompson, said they had put
several programs together for the
smokeout.

One such program is the adopt a
smoker program, in which a non-smoker
adopts a smoker and helps him (her) quit
for the day.

Crossgates Mall is handing out raffle|.
tickets to smokers who hand in their
packs of the ‘‘cancersticks.’’ Drawings
were scheduled to be held and prizes were
scheduled to be donated. FLY 92 and ap-
proximately 20 to 30 area businesses also
participated.

Joshua Bogart, who said he has been
smoking for four years said, ‘“‘I would
quit for the smokeout, I would only quit
if I decided to do it on my own. It relaxes
me and for now it doesn’t bother me that
I smoke.”’ That feeling is the consenus of
many smokers.

American Cancer Society who sponsored
the event, people do not realize just what
a deadly habit cigarettes are. Every year

U.S. ties stressed at Manley’s visit

By John Chartier
STAFF WRITER

Beverly Manley, Sines First Lady of
Jamaica, speaking about the political and
economic situation of her country as well

as that of other Third World nations, ad-

dressed students Wednesday afternoon in
the Campus Center Ballroom. :
Manley, who is an expert in women’s
studies and Jamaican affairs, described the
political and social structure of Jamaica
before an informal group of about 40
students.
- According to Manley, Jamaica, a
former British colony, has a two party
system consisting of the Peoples’ National
Party (PNP) and the Jamaica Labor Party
(JLP). ‘“We have two political parties that

are trying to develop different ways of

governing,’’ Manley explained.

The political system is fashioned after
that of the British government. ‘‘In
Jamaica the model manifests itself by two.
parties. We’ve never had a third party,”’
Manley said. ‘‘Third parties have tried but
have never succeeded. These two parties
have been in power since 19.

Manley went on to explain that
Jamaicans take their politics very serious-

ly. ‘‘It’s like two tribes, we have become

very tribal in our political organization,”’
Manley said. ‘‘Tribal’’ refers to the ex-
treme to which politics is taken personally.
‘*People actually kill for politics, ”” Manley
said.

Currently Jamaica is in the midst of
their election season. Government changes.
hands every 10 years there. ‘‘The contest in

January is going to be very close, I think,’’

Manley speculated.

British influence also revealed itself in
Jamaica’s social structure. Distinctions in
social class are determined by color.
“Class and color are very related,’’
Manley said.

According to Manley, at the bottom of
the social ladder are ‘‘black people’’ who
form the majority of the population. They
are followed by middle class or “brown”
and ‘‘high brown’’ people. “At the top of
the ladder are people of pale color. We
have shades of black,’’ Manley explained.

“The 21 families who run Jamaica are pale
in color.”’

Beverly Manley, former First Lady of Jamaica |

Manley said she also devoted much time
to discussing the large debt owed by the
Third World. ‘‘First of all the figure that is
owed by the Third World is one trillion’
dollars. This is nothing new but this is a

crisis,” Manley said. Of that amount 4.4 _

billion is owed by Jamaica alone. This

Recognize racial violence, not just ‘‘graffiti’’

By George G. Lewis

MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR

‘Until the philosophy that
holds one race superior and
another inferior is finally
descredited ...there shall be
war.”’

Halle Selassie, Emperor of
Ethiopia

Apparent increases in the
enrollment of Black and Hispanic
students on campus has been
spread all over the newspapers. It
is constantly the main topic of
discussion at any type of social
gathering by administrators and
student government
representatives.

It is however, ironic that this
type of emphasis is not given to

the racial violence that has been
occuring on our campus for the
last three years.

Cases in point include: the
numerous racial epithets that
have been placed upon the
elevators on Indian Quad, as well
as on suite doors on Dutch, and

the harassment
of Afro- Beyond
American

women by The

males, to name
a few.

This behavior must be stopped
or else we will be faced with pro-
blems beyond the reach of
academic discipline.

home, we must not become
disheartened, but we must accept
the challenge placed before us.
We will have to pull together (no
‘‘half-stepping’’ as one brother
said) utilizing all the resources
that are available to us. We must
further realize that the struggle is
nothing new but is a continuous
effort that confronts people of
the African diaspora.

Students must press the Univer-
sity, especially the Department of
Residential Life and our Student
Association, for better services.
Realize, brother and sisters, that
this is a business, henceforth we
should not and cannot accept ex-
ecrable services for our hard earn-
ed dollars.

Acknowledgement of concern
displayed by some Residential
Life staff must be mentioned.
However, ‘‘cosmetic’? changes
are not sufficient; we must create
‘*structural’’ changes stressing the
need for cultural sensitivity to the
concerns of all students.

The practice of those ad-
ministrators attempting to
alleviate ‘‘grafitti’’ (racial
violence) through memorandums
is not only futile but is an insult to
the victims and provide an at-
mosphere that encourages the
perpetrators to continue with fear
of reprisals.

This is irresponsible and a
flagrant disregard for the suffer-

sensitivity on the part of those ad-
ministrators that attempt to
dismiss outright fascism as mere

‘grafitti’? increases in ‘‘our’’
buildings (mind you, it is state
property).

As with most problems it is
often two-fold and we must
recognize the role that is played
by our Student Association. The
Student Association of 1988 is not
the representatives of 1985, yet
still our elected leaders (President
and Vice President) have
disregarded the need and con-
cerns of the Afro-American and
Hispanic students.

SA draws its strength from the
diversity of the various cultures

that make up the University

community.

However, our illustrious ‘Vice
President has sent a message in
her recent appointments chastiz-
ing members of cultural groups
for wanting to get involved in Stu-
dent Association.

It is a foregone conclusion that
this is an outright biased decision
that must be repudiated because
of the dangerous precedent it
signals. Without question the VP
must be reprimanded.

It would be easy to sit back and
snicker, however we cannot af-

ford this to happen. We must all,

play an active role in whatsoever

changes that are to be imposed.
The remedy to many of these

problems lie in the need of sen-

sitivity of those that administrate
and legislate. Students do not
trust Residential Life due to its
history of ignoring the problems
of Afro-American students.
However, we must find a com-
mon ground that is based on
honesty and not attempts to
merely dismiss racial volence as
mere ‘‘grafitti.’’

Secondly, the University must
acknowledge the need for man-
datory Afro-American history
classes for the student community
at large. How can you legislate a
behavior unless you educate as to

what that behavior should consist
of?

Solving SUNYA racial in-
cidents will not reflect ad-
ministrative cosmetic changes.
Rather, it will require a strong
desire to educate the community
to the diversity of the campus.

Although there has been an in-
crease in recruitment of Black and
Hispanic students (no mention of
retention) there has not been an
equal increase in the number of
faculty, not to mention tenure
professors.

demand what is fair and decent.

Assistance for college success offered through EOP

By Steve Flaumenhaft

It used to be that students who could not afford college
were not able to attend.

However, now the Equal Opportunity Program takes.
students who are financially incapable and gives them the
opportunity.

According to Betty Sahadrick, associate director ‘of
academic support services, these students are from
predominantly urban areas where there is a lot of crime
and heavy drug traffic. These areas include the Bronx,
Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and parts of Long
Island. Sheldon Henry of Staten Island, and an EOP stu-
dent here at SUNYA said, ‘‘Some people I know from
back home are in jail now.”’

It is for these reasons that EOP, through the help of the
taxpayers, attempts to extract these students from their
rugged environments and place them in one that is more
conducive to learning.

However, there are many problems that can arise with
these students being in a highly unfamiliar atmosphere.
Because of their previous experiences, and EOP student
may be behind in certain scholastic areas. Pre-courses are

available to these students in reading, writing and math.

“If it is discovered through testing that an EOP student
is weak in any of these areas they’ll be required to take the
appropriate pre-course,’’ Sahadrick explained. ,

‘‘Each student is assigned a non-academic counselor

who is always available to them. These counselors are
there to help any personal problems, ranging outside the
realm of academics, that a student may be faced with,”’
Sahadrick added.

EOP also provides additional tutoring to any of these
students that find it necessary.

Henry and Bronx resident Renee Padilla, another EOP

*“People look up to me now
because I go to college.’’
— EOP student Sheldon Henry

student, applauded the job EOP is doing. ‘‘There is
always someone available for us, no matter what the pro-
blem is,’’ they both agreed.

EOP not only provides academic support for the
students, but they also assist the student with spending
money. ‘‘EOP gives us $43 or $44 a month, alternating
every month,’’ Henry stated.

EOP does all that it can to make sure these students.

continue in the program until they receive their diploma.
However, the most important efforts must come from the
individual student. Henry said he has no problem with
this.

‘‘I want to take advantage of this chance. I feel like so-
meone is reaching out to help me,’’ Henry explained.

‘*People back home look up to me now because I go to
college. If I could do good then maybe they’Il see there is
a chance for them too,’’ Henry added.

“My sister went to college through EOP and she’s in
graduate school now,’” Padilla said.

Both students said they feel an obligation to family
and friends, as well as themselves, to give college and
EOP their best effort and to acheive the ultimate goal.

If their individual drive and the responsibility they feel
to their family and friends is not enough to keep them
working hard, there is always Carson Carr, the Associate
Dean of Academic Support Services. Henry and Padilla
both claimed, ‘‘He is always on our backs to keep up.”’ ~

The percentage of EOP students that graduate is rising
every year, according to Carr. This trend shows the great
job that EOP is doing.

The general feeling about the program amongst the
EOP students themselves is a positive one, they both
concurred.

Amnesty receives $500 from Emergency Spending Line

By Morgan Lyle

_ EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The Student Association Shsiral Coun-
cil voted Wednesday to give $500 to newly
formed SUNYA Amnesty International.

The funding was taken from the SA
Emergency Spending Line.

Indian Quad representative Rory
Whelan, while expressing support for
Amnesty International, questioned the
wisdom of spending emergency funds
when SA has not yet been audited.

‘*We have not gotten an audit. SA does
not know if it’s in deficit or surplus, ‘‘
Whelan said.

Whelan added that he did not consider —

Amnesty International’s Jp eas an

_ emergency.

‘“‘Amnesty has made it aoa to me that
for as little as $200, Amnesty can save the
life of a person in prison, laying in a cell,
for their beliefs. That is an emergency, “‘
said off-campus representative. Steve
Goudsmith.

Off-campus representative Brian Lowy
agreed that the group deserves support.

‘‘What it comes right down to is, we
have this money. This money’s available...
If we can give money to the German club

- and racquetball, and we can’t give any

money for this, then we’ve gone absurd, “‘
Lowy said.

However SA Controller Alan Rafter-
man cautioned against judging the funding
of SA groups based on their merit.

‘“What gives SA the right to judge what
groups are better than others? ‘‘ Rafterman
asked.

“T don’t know how you judge that, and
once you do judge that, you open yourself
up to saying ’this is a good group, this is a
bad group, and this group’s going to get a
lot of money,‘‘‘ Rafterman continued.

“(Amnesty International) is no better

than any group on campus, unless you’re _

going to start ranking groups, ‘‘ Rafterman
said.

Rafterman said he supported the bill
funding the group. —

Vice-Chair Dan Peltz, although saying
he, too, supported the bill, warned that
“the Emergency Spending Line is not easy
access to money. It has to be carefully

scrutinized, every case. *‘‘

The bill passed 22 to one with two
abstentions.

Nov. 22 marks the 25th an-

Oswald was apprehended and
charged with the murder. Oswald
himself was murdered two days
later by Jack Ruby while being
transferred to another holding
facility. —

The government immediately
blamed Oswald as a lone assassin
and closed the case. At the time
the nation was in shock and the
solution was easy for everyone to
accept, but as time passed bits of
evidence were uncovered that left

- many people asking ‘‘Who killed

John Kennedy?”’

On Tuesday Nov. 16 at 8 p.m. a
lecture was held in LC 18 to
discuss the various possibilities
and to re-examine the case’s
evidence. The speaker was
Harvey Z. Yazijan, a leading pro-
ponent for reopening the Ken-
nedy case.

Yazijan did not offer any

definite answers, however he did
introduce discrepancies in the
case.

In one photograph, Lee H.
Oswald was shown standing in the
entrance of the building instead
of the sixth floor window where
he supposedly shot Kennedy.

Another piece of evidence
discussed showed Kennedy’s en-
trance wounds were in the front
of his body, yet the government
claims that Oswald shot the presi-
dent from behind.

Yazijan claimed that most of
this evidence is on record, but
nothing has been done because of
government pressure. He sug-
gested a strong link between the
assassination and a possible CIA-
organized crime conspiracy.

University art professor
Robert Cartmell first rode on a
rollercoaster when he was six
years old. Since then his life has
been similar to this amusement
park ride.

Cartmell has been constantly
on the go, often shifting the
focus of his artwork in a variety
of angles and directions.

The work that he devotes to
his projects is similar to a roller-
coaster car’s uphill climb in ef-

fort and difficulty. As in the

case of a rollercoaster ride,
Cartmell finishes in a rush of ex-
citement and a

sigh of relief.

hibit at the Smithsonian In-
stitute in Washington, D.C.,
and writing an article entitled
‘Quest for the Ultimate Roller-

' Lowy’s letter said, ‘‘By walking
out of that room a statement was
made, that only blacks can
understand racism...It isin the
same sense to say that only Jews
can understand the

Holocaust...By walking out you —

succeeded in only proliferating
the idea of separation and hurt
not only your cause, but the cause
of humanity.’’

‘Brian, your letter had good
intentions. We appreciate the
concern,’’ Lambert said.

‘““We’ve been ’sitting on a
powderkeg for years,’’ Lambert
said, referring to a quote in
Lowy’s letter, ‘‘from the first day
they allowed a black student on

this campus.”’

“‘The powderkeg analogy is
long overdue. It’s not a new thing
and it’s not going to go away
soon,’’ Lambert said.

Ken Bullen, president of the
Albany State University Black
Alliance (ASUBA), took issue
with Lowy’s perception of
“‘revenge racist attitudes.’’

“‘Black people cannot be racist,
for the simple reason are not in a
position of power,’’ Bullen said.

Bullen also said blacks ‘‘can
understand the Holocaust of
Jewish people,’’ saying that 96
million Africans perished during
one 12-year period American
slavery.

Bullen suggested that every stu-
dent at SUNYA be required to
take Afro-American or Latin
American history classes to foster
understanding between the races.

‘“We have to deal with [racism]
in our classes,’’ Wilkins said,

citing one professor who called a

group of black students in his

class ‘‘the ghetto section’’.

““‘We wake up. black every
single day. We have to deal with
this every day. We’re not going

away, SO you’re going to have to |

deal with us,’’ Wilkins said.
Vice-Chair Dan Peltz criticized
the University administration. ‘‘It
is. my belief and the belief of the
committee that the admimistra-

tion has done little or nothing to

ease racial tensions,’’ Peltz said.
“The administration should ac-
cept, understand and realize the
harm’’ caused by racial graffiti.
Peltz added that he ‘‘certainly’’

agreed with the idea of man-.

datory classed on Afro-American

-and Latin American cultures.

A copy of the resoltion will be
sent to all administrators, faculty
and staff.

‘I think everyone who is paid
by SUNY Albany should know
what’s going on,’’ Wilkins said.

Peltz said he expected to speak
to University president Vincent
O’Leary ‘‘within three or four
days’’ and that the coalition call-
ed for in the resolution would
first meet in early December.

Other campus organizations
took action to sway racial ten-
sion. Indian Quad’s tower staff
held a mandatory meeting in the
cafeteria Tuesday night, attended
by about 50 students. Indian
Quad Resident Director Bryan
Moody addressed the graffiti
issue in the tower, and said ‘‘it
should be offensive to all of us,
because we live around here.”’

Moody said judicial action
would be taken against the
perpetrators. ‘“The best you can

The deeper into the semester it gets, the
more things there seem to be to complain
about. In an abundantly bureaucratic
society such as Albany State’s, it is more
often than not that once you’ve found
something to complain about, it’s
impossible to find the. proper channels
through which to actually file a complaint
or a grievance.

Well, dear student, welcome to the one
editorial of the semester which is an
absolutely essential addition to every
refrigerator or dorm room bulletin board.
Yes, it’s the necessity of all
necessities . . . the handy-dandy, friendly
neighborhood Complaint Directory.

Below you will find a smattering of key
names and numbers. While this is but a
partial list, a quick call to the Campus
Center Information Desk — 442-5571 —
can hook you up with the correct office
and/or person to contact.

UNIVERSITY AUXILIARY
- SERVICE — Unaffectionately known as
UAS, this group is perhaps the most
complained about on campus. Next time
the salad bar more closely resembles
offerings from the devil, or something
funky turns up in your food, call them
and let them know. UAS General
Manager E. Norbert Zahm (442-5950) has
repeatedly offered his help in these
matters.

ACADEMIC ISSUES — If you’ve ever

sat through a class (NOT a language class)
and felt like you’re in another country
because your dog speaks hetter English
than your instructor, then the number to
call is 442-4803. Vice President for
Academic Affairs Sung Bok Kim can help
with problems like this and others.

BUS SERVICE — The Green Monsters
(and their attractive, though distant,
cousin) never seem to run on a true
schedule, especially as the cold weather
sets in, and sardine can buses pass you by.
Call Physical Plant Director Dennis
Stevens at 442-3400 with questions or
comments. :

TUITION COSTS — Oftentimes,
especially in the public higher education
system, those who take advantage of it are

the hardest hit when it comes to budget.

cuts and tuition hikes. When it comes
right down to it, the best place to take it is
straight to the top. The Governor can be
reached at 474-1041. Give Mario a call
and remind him that his kids went to

es MASOR METROPOLITAN AREAS

As a little kid, I used to always read comic books. My

- imagination, as a result, was vivid and idealistic. Every

jungle adventure, spy story, fire engine trip and space
mission ended happily, with the hero back safely at home.

Vincent Polito

- My- mother, who, like any other mother, would have

rather had me reading than not, enjoyed my idealistic im-

agination and promoted any constructive use of it that

- she could think of. She knew that one of the greatest at-

tributes a child possesses is his or her innocence and
idealism. It’s unfortunate that, as we progress from a
child into an adult, we have experiences counter to our
childhood beliefs, and we lose some of our innocence.
As an adult and a student, idealism is no longer con-
sidered to be charming. It is a naivete which, when handl-
ing issues of ‘‘real’’ importance, can ‘be very dangerous.

And one issue which is very real is national defense.

We live in a nuclear world where both the Soviet Union 7

and the United States have the capacity to destroy each
other many times over with nuclear weapons. So far, a
complex combination of prudent policy decisions, a

- delicate balance of power, and negotiations for weapons

reductions and restrictions have kept the threat of nuclear
conflict at a minimum.

Through arms control agreements and general negotia-

tions, the United States has established and maintained a |

line of communication with the Soviets. Such negotia-
tions and agreements have become vital to the

_ maintenance of our present system.

During the course of negotiations, American diplomats

learned early on that the supreme bargaining position

with the Soviets is one of strength. Secretary of State
Dean Acheson verified this when he said ‘‘the only way to
deal with the Soviet Union, we have found from hard ex-

_ perience, is to create situations of strength.’’

The Reagan Administration noted this, and in 1981
deemed that a military restoration would put the U.S. ina
position of strength. Part of this restoration includes

research and development of an ambitious concept |

system referred to as the Strategic Défense Initiative. :
The Strategic Defense Initiative, or SDI, as it is com-
monly referred to, is a multifaceted research and develop-

"ment program for a system which includes would-be

means of land-based lasers or space-based —rocket-

powered interceptors which would destroy Soviet ICBM’s

(Brian Obach,

The Story on Star Wars

aimed at American soil. Although there are ‘‘many other
types of nuclear weapons which we would have to con-
tend with’’, as opponents of SDI have claimed, if the
Soviet Union was to commit a first strike, the guaranteed
destruction of a percentage of Soviet ICBM’s would
make Soviet planners ‘‘less certain they would destroy all
the American targets at which they are aimed.”’

This certainty would undoubtedly aid in the ‘‘deter-

rence of.a first strike by the Soviets by making such a
strike less valuable to Soviet strategy planners’’ (c. Robert

Zelnick, ‘‘Obituary for Starwars’, New York ‘Times, Oc-

tober 26, 1988).

In addition to acting as a simple deterrent of promoting
strength, the SDI program has promoted positive scien-
tific research in numerous fields including laser, rocket
fuel and satellite technologies at both public and private
institutions. It has even been claimed that the benefits of
this program have extended to the University at Albany
where over one million dollars have been allocated
toward SDI research.

As an adult and a student,
_ Idealism is no longer
charming. When handling
issues of ‘real’ importance, it

can be dangerous.

‘Ata time when education funding is being slashed...

~ “Stop Star Wars Research’’, ASP,
November 4, 1988), such influx of funds can only be a
positive impetus for scientific research at Albany.

_ If I were an idealist in an ideal world where comic book
fantasies prevailed, I would wish away all nuclear
weapons as sO many opponents of SDI have been trying

to do. The realities of a nuclear world require a more

pragmatic approach toward the construction of defense
policies. The Strategic Defense Initiative provides the

U.S. with a first-strike deterrent, funds to research nas-

cent technologies and a positive bargaining position.
Since SDI is a purely defensive system, it’s implementa-
tion cannot be seen a supporting a policy of aggression.
Lastly, “‘the question of whether or not we can afford to
deploy such a system should be: can we afford not to
deploy it?’ (Casper Weinberger, Foreign Affairs, 1988)

R.E.M. have always been a progressive
band to go through experimental phases.
This, following a vault into commercial
success with 1987’s Document, is perhaps
their most multifarious (excluding, of
course, the motley “b-

tion, Dead Letter Of-

cessible effort. But

nor is it a feeble effort 7
to do too much. Suffice it to say that Green
is accessibility through diversity, without
loss of sincerity or potency.

“Sometimes I feel like I can’t even

scared for me,” sings Stipe following the
crickets on the single most rich in earthy,

stripped down heartiness — ‘“You Are the

R.E.M. counter-balance the mandalin-laced
acousic style of “You Are the Everything”
and ““The Wrong Child,” (with an in-
teresting vocal foray done up in ‘round’
fashion) with the album’s’ opener, the
perky and humorous “Pop Song 89,”
which after a salutory greeting, poses the
question, “Should we talk about the

Tracy Zamot

This isn’t any ordinary Disney album. If
squeaky Mickey Mouse jingles or cheery
dwarf songs are sought, there are none to
be found here. Stay Awake is coined as
“Various interpretations of music from vin-
tage Disney films.” The result is an album
of “kiddie” songs from an adult perspec-
tive, and often with a touch of cynicism
and lost idealism. Most impressive about
Stay Awake is the varied array of artists
who lend their talents — form the folksy
Suzanne Vega, to old standard Ringo Starr,
to. the harder rock sounds of The
‘Replacements, Stay Awake is a truly in-
novative album that casts an eerie overtone
to some old standards with unique con-

tributions by some relatively new
performers.

The instrumentals on the album main-
tain Disney’s tradition of lush orchestration
and have a characteristically rich, full
sound. But a new element is added, in
songs such as Pinoicchio’s “Little Wooden
Head” with the use of synthesizer, which
adds background sound that is incongruent
with the upbeat, light banjo and guitar.
This little touch of the eighties to a song
written in 1940 sounds disturbing, and
almost ominous.

However, nothing is quite as ominous as
Tom Waits nightmarish interpretation of
“Heigh-Ho.” It’s a highly mechanized song
featuring machine noises and the obvious
computerization of the vocals. These are
not the dwarfs of Snow White fame. No
Happy, Sneezy, or Bashful here — these
dwarfs are not happy campers.

Not all the cuts are so negative. Los
Lobos does an upbeat rendition of the
Jungle Book's “I Wan’na Be Like You (The
Monkey Song),” laden with exotic percus-
sion and sax. This is easily one of the best
tracks — Los Lobos shines. The Babes in
Toyland song “Castle in Spain” is done
dramatically by Buster Poindexter whose
sense of humor is the key element to the
song, together with some fabulous horns.
The Replacements’ “Cruella de Ville” has
definite commercial potential, and
showcases the lead vocals of a suprisingly
coherent Paul Westerberg, along with
some fine guitar work.

The only track that does not work is
Sinead O’Connor singing “Someday My
Prince Will Come.” It sounds like Sinead’s
already found her prince (by the sounds of
it she’s been keeping company with Prince
Valium). Someone should have told Sinead
to wake up before getting in front of the
mike. All the heavy breathing just doesn’t
cut it.

“Stay Awake/Don’t Nod and Dream,”
sings Suzanne Vega on the title track. Sleep
is probably the last effect this album could
ever have. First off, this is an album filled
with overflowing talent, creativity, and
star-quality. Secondly, there’s always the
chance of dreaming about one of the
dwarves in the Tom Waits song... O

CTE regen J OO OR a OE

The writer’s strike this past summer, before an agreement was finally met
between the stubburn parties involved, coincided with my desperate search
for employment. I was bored, I was broke and I spent hours moping ~
around. Usually I'd stay out late, wake up late, crawl upstairs, plop myself
onto the couch, and end up watching soap operas. I admit this freely only
because soap operas are socially accepted; sort of like how drugs are illegal
but alchohol (a drug) is completely permissable. Just about everybody drinks
and it’s considered o.k., just like watching soaps.

But anyway, until I found a job, I lived the life of the classic American
waste product, wasting my time watching soaps (though not admitting to it).
I‘d sit in front of the tube with the remote control in my hand and watch
them all — from The Young and the Restless at 12:30, to both Santa Bar-
bara and General Hospital at 3:00 (I flipped back and forth) and I'd come to
criticize them all.

- One day it finally occurred to me — the writers who were responsible
for writing these soaps were such-miserable writers that, with the strike still
on, it seemed the perfect opportunity for me. I could be a scab. (Actually,
anyone with a degree from kindergarden could write better than some of
the stuff I subjected myself to everyday). But I was out of luck — the strike
ended and my dream has yet to be realized.

Watching soap operas for too long makes me angry. It might be because I
know I'm more intelligent than the writers of most soaps presume (I would
hope that most other people are, too). Does anyone really expect me to
believe that these story lines reflect reality?! Please. But what's worse is that
I know I could be writing scripts to these shows — I figured it all out, and it
would probably be fun.

So I’ve figured out that soaps are unreal. Alla soap opera writer has to do
is take a situation that may actually exist and cause havoc or tag something

completely far-fetched to it (A couple is happily married — either make one
of them indulge in some extra-marital hanky- panky or let one of them go
on a psychotic killing rampage).

Sex is, of course, a given influence on all of the plots, but there’s always a
resident psycho, too — usually a split personality or psychotic killer. (Now

-really, what's the liklihood of some of these nutcases actually existing?) Then —

there's always someone “coming back to life” (most recently, Mason on San-
ta Barbara, and James Stenbeck on As the World Turns, ). There's always a
marraige on the rocks, and a family falling apart. But how trite. Something
completely amazing and usually impossible has to be added to spice things

up. Be Ean
Let's start with Santa Barbara because I happened to catch a few minutes

of it the other day. We have the lovely Eden who has been through a few

rough times. Of late, she has found out that her husband is the father of
another woman's child, she has been raped, and her best friend has been
murdered by the same man who attacked her. Eden must be superhuman,
for she’s taking it all in stride — the most pressing thing on her mind the
other day was her career. But give me a break. It’s not normal for someone
to recover as well as she has. It’s sick. .

The funniest of scenarios (and easiest to write for I'm sure) are the
pregnancy ones. Jane gets pregnant, but Jane has been a bit promiscuous and
doesn’t know who the father of the child is. Or maybe Jane is married with
a happy sex life, but one night she’s “seduced” and then suddenly pregnant.
(Einey meiney, miney, mo, does it belong to Tom or Joe?) It doesn’t matter,
though, as the expectancy of a soap opera pregnancy is about two weeks.
Jane when she’s pregnant usually decides to paint the ceiling or play hop-
scotch on the stairway.

Each day it’s the same thing and each day millions tune in. But a you
just picture the scene? Writers being paid a lot more than other, more
“respectable” writers sit around and create the same scenarios each time with
a different twist. They must be bored out of their minds to come up with
the story lines that they do. The off-the-wall scenarios, if they do nothing
else, humor me. Back a few years on General Hospital there was a “plot”
about a psycho with a weather machine threatening to freeze over Port
Charles. Yeah right. It’s almost funny.

What it comes down to is that regular life just isn’t good enough for soap
operas, and regular life is what everyone watching soap operas has to deal
with. I just hope that if I’m ies desperate for a job, — writers will strike

again. . . : oF

Doc Sauers with 540 wins i is one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history.

By Brian Ottman
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In 1955 Dwight Eisenhower was Presi-
dent, Jackie Robinson was playing second
base for the Dodgers(Brooklyn, of course,
not LA), and Richard “Doc” Sauers coached
his first game for Albany.

That is where he stayed for 32 straight
winning seasons, pacing the Dane sideline,
yelling at players for mental errors and get-
ting the most out of his team.

But then during the 1986-87 season,
Sauers seemed to tire. He no longer stalk-
ed the sidlines as once he had, he started
yelling less and he no longer demanded
perfection from his players.

“IT was tired,” Sauers said. “I was very
tired that entire season. I needed a change.
I needed to get away and recharge my
batteries.”

At the end of the season, Sauers an-
nounced he was taking a one year leave of
absence, to see other programs and how
they worked. He appointed assistant
coach Barry Cavanaugh to take over.

At the time no one was sure if Sauers
would ever coach for Albany again.

“Of course I had second thoughts. |
didn’t know if I’d be back or not,” Sauers
said. “But after I was away a while, I started
to miss it all. The ‘whole thing was very
reassuring,” he added.

Sauers is back and the desire is there
again.

“It feels good to be back,” he said. ‘I’m
eager to get the season started. We have a
very good nucleus on this team.”

It is Sauers’ 33rd season with Albany and
along the way he has compiled a 540-248

players.

record. That ranks number one all-time in
Division II.

During his year sabbatical, Sauers peck:
ed to 34 different schools to watch their
practices and to see how their programs
were run. He also visited two professional
team practices. Along the way he picked
up some ideas. _

“Some of them were good and we're us-
ing them, others didn’t turn out so well,”
he said.

‘Sauers first came to Albany in 1955.
Over the years, the Danes have had their
ups and downs.

The highest point in Albany history, ac-
cording to Sauers was a victory over Siena
in 1956.

“The first year we beat a was the
most important game in Albany State
history,” he said. ~

The lowest came in an NCAA tourna-
ment game against Wagner in 1969. It was

-Albany’s biggest loss ever; 109-64.

“The NCAA had overlooked us the past ©
few seasons and when we finally got the
bid we wanted to make the most of it.
Wagner blew us out,” Sauers said.

Sauers is known for his passion towards
the game and he expects the same from his
He recruits talent, but he also
looks for players with a tough mental at-
titude and great desire.

“Tl look for the gym rat that wants to
play,” Sauers said.

When asked about his future plans,
Sauers said he has none except ' ‘to have

this team do as well as it can.’

Another season is here and Doc Sauers is
back; going for his 33rd consecutive winn-
ing season. CO

McLaughlin wants to play her game

By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR

You can always tell a good basketball
team by the quality of its’ center.

Look what the Lakers did with Kareem
Abdul Jabbar, or what the Knicks are doing
with Pat Ewing.

If this theory holds true, then the
Albany women’s basketball team is in store
for another fine season.

Senior center Mindy McLaughlin is

coming back, anxious to embark on her

final campaign with the Danes.
Last year, she averaged 7.6 points per

game, 6.1 rebounds and

even found time to dish

out 43 assists and to steal P I a y er

the ball 36 times.

This year she looks Profile —
forward to her finest
season.

“IT want to play my game,” she said. “I
want to do as well as | can.”

Those words are echoed by her coach,

Mari Warner.
“This should be her year,’ “Warner said,
“She'll be coming into her own”.
McLaughlin is rested and ready. She
spent the summer running and stayed
away from the hoop.

“I came in with a better attitude,” oe

said. “I was a little burntout.”

She did try, out for the Empire State
Games, but didn’t make the team.

“It was fun, but I was a little disap-
pointed,” she said.

One of the largest contributions Mindy
will make to the team this year is leader-
ship. With six new players on the team,
McLaughlin will be expected to help on:
the court.

Albany center Mindy McLaughlin goes to the hoop.

“e's (the responsibility) going to be
equally on Lisa (Parish, the Danes’ other

~ senior) too,” she modestly said.

McLaughlin comes from Unatego High
School in Otego. She had played
volleyball early in high school, but after a
disagreement with the coach, she went out
for the basketball team. _

- She enjoyed a fine senior year as her
team was Section IV champions. Then it
came time to pick a college.

“Only Keuka and Albany were in-
terested in me,” she said, “but I heard

Keuka’s coach had brought in a lot of tall
people, so I decided to go to Albany.”
Quickly, she learned the difference bet-
ween her high school and college coaches.
“My high school coach was into the
game, he stressed fundamentals and he
would scout a lot,” she said.
“Coach Warner is a lot different. She’s
very organized,”she said. “She’s worried

. about the aspect of everything. How we

look and act (on the court), how we do in
our schoolwork, our futures.”
‘I was really score oriented in high

school. I came here and so many people
were better than me,” she said. “There
were new things to learn, but I’m more
comfortable with my game.”

- One of Mindy’s best qualities is that she
is a team player.

“The team is better this year, I think we
can do anything, it’s going to be a great
year,” she said.

She works with other players, helping
them out.

For Mindy though, there are still parts of
her game she has to work on. .

“Coach has been working on foul shots
and she’s emphasizing rebounding,” she
said.

One thing you can say about Mindy is

that she’s never at a loss for fan support.
~ Her father attends all home and a majority
of away games.

“I was never nervous (him being there),”
she said, “he went to them in high school.
He’s there and he’s supporting, he’s never ©
pushed me (to play).”

She also plays a lot of ball with her
brother, who is 6’-5” and played for Delhi

and RIT.

“He told me, ‘don’t copy me, play your
own game’,” she said.

It’s worked. Last year she had a good
season. She was fourth on the team in scor-
ing, second in rebounding, third in assists
and second in blocks.

Coach Warner expects more from her
this season.

“She has the desire to dominate and the
ability,” Warner said.

It won't be easy but somehow she'll try.

“I want a good solid year,” she said, “I
want the team to do as well as it can.”

Believe her. Oo

Men look to play up-tempo game

By Gil Kaminer
STAFF WRITER

The Albany men’s basketball team has a
new look this year; sort of.

33 year veteran coach Richard “Doc”
Sauers returns to the Danes after a one year
sabbatical.

During his absence, Sauers traveled the
east coast attending 34 college and two
pro practices.

Sauers was taken out to dinner by such
illustrious coaches as Villanova’s Rollie
Massamino and North Carolina State’s Jim
Valvano.

Some of the practices that pies watch-
ed were Syracuse, Duke, and North
Carolina.

With 540 victories, Sauers ranks as the
winningest coach in Division III, and 11th
on the all time (All Divisions I-II) list that
includes legends like North Carolina’s
Dean Smith.

Sauers was named NCAA Division III
coach of the year in 1984-85 when Albany
finished with a 22-6 record and a NCAA
tournament bid.

“I needed to get away,” said Sauers, “I
felt that I would not do a good job if |
coached the team.”

“I didn’t really miss it in the fall at all,
while I was traveling. I really didn’t miss it
until the middle of December. |

“IT didn’t particularly like watching, |
wanted to help,” said Sauers, “and as the
season wore on | missed it more, and |
realized I've got to get back.”

Even though he appeared in 20 games

~ last season, Dennis Cutts did not get many |

minutes.

“Dennis is probably the most versatile
player on the team,” Sauers said, “Over the
summer he and Michael Shene improved
more than anyone else.”

“At one time or another Dennis has
played every position on the team. He had
a very good European trip,” Sauers added.

“We worked hard to recruit Jeff Farn-
sworth,” said Sauers of the Shenendehowa
High School graduate.

Farnsworth was a member of a state
championship team in high school.

Originally set to play J.V., he showed —

enough in practice to make the varsity
roster.

Ed Feller will spend most of the season
on the junior varsity this year. If an injury

occurs, Feller will be called on to be the -

back up guard.

better player,”

“He is going to have a good career at
Albany because he’s smart and does a lot
of things well,” said Sauers.

_ Andy Goodemote is the man who was
supposed to run the show. A knee injury
suffered in a scrimmage will keep him out
for a few games.

In the eight games he played last year
before he was injured, he scored an

average of 13 points and 3.4 assists per —

game.
“Andy is our best outside shooter,”
Sauers said, “He knows our system inside
and out.”

In high school, Goodemote led Section II
in scoring two years in a row, and was a
member of the Empire State Games
scholastic open team.

The team is hopeful that Goodemote
will be back by the third game of the
season.

Senior co-captain Stephen Jermyn stayed
in Albany this summer and played in sum-
mer leagues to improve his game. His
team. made it to the championship.

“It helped his overall game,” said Sauers,
“he has a better nose for the ball now.”

Last year as a junior Matt McClure
averaged 13 points and five rebounds per
game.

“Matt played fie best of everyone in
Europe,” Sauers said, “McClure was the
leading scorer and defensive rebounder or
the trip.”

Stephen Mulderry was scheduled to split

‘time at guard with Stephen Sauers, but

because of the injury to Goodemote,
Mulderry will get the early season starts.
“He's a good enough shooter that I can
start him at the shooting guard pectin,
said Sauers.
Sauers stepped in when Gaodemote was
injured last year, and did more then a good

job.

He averaged 5.1 assists per game and ©

had 132 total assists, the 10th most in

- Albany history.

“His unselfish nature makes everyone a
Sauers said.

Last year the coaches tried to turn Ryan
Schoenfeld into a “3” man; a small for-

ward. When the experiment failed he was _

moved into the post position and has
excelled.

“He's probably our best offensive re-

bounder. He gives us everything he’s got,”

said Sauers.

Schoenfeld was a 1,000 point scorer in
high school.

Along with Cutts, Michael Shene is the
most improved player on the team.

He played the small forward last year,
but will play mostly at center this season.

“He’s got good timing and he’s an
unselfish player,” said Sauers. _

Shene had the best stats of all the
postmen in the preseason. He too, was a
member of the Empire State Games team
while in high school.

Last year’s leading scorer, Morrison
Russ” Teague, is back this year.

He averaged 18.5 points and 8.1 re-

bounds per game.

“We expect a big year out of Russ. He’s »

stronger, quicker, and more experienced,”
said Sauers.

For the Danes to be successful, Teague
must stay out of foul trouble.

“Dennis Walker plays hard every

minute he’s out there,” said Sauers. “His all
around game has improved greatly.”
6-5” sophomore Mark Zuklie is the
post-up man of the future.

“Mark needs a little more finesse inside,
and some work on his shooting,” said
Sauers, “hopefully we can get him the time
and experience he needs to help us next
year.”

Zuklie had good pre-season stats.

Although the team was not in a league
last year, this is Sauers first year out of the
SUNYAC's.

“The only thing we will miss is the All-

SUNYAC team, other than that there will

be no change,” said Sauers.

The team spent 10 days this past sum-
mer in Europe going against teams from
Holland, Belgium, and France. The Danes

played a total of six games. Albany played |

very competitively, winning five. They
played the six games in six nights so it
would give them the experience for road
games.

“It made the team a closer knit group,”

said Sauers.

The foreign teams were made up ok men
ranging in age from 19 to 30 years old.

“Playing in Europe gave us a chance to
play a lot of people and to see our

strengths and weaknesses,” said Sauers.

“We would like to get off to a good
start, especially with the injury to
Goodemote,” said Sauers.

“It will give the team confidence and it

will carry us for a while,” said Sauets.
_ “We're going to use our defense to
create an uptempo game. I am concerned
with team shot selection in the scrim-
mages,” said Sauers, “even though we're
trying to run a lot and push the ball up, we
have to as a team take better shots.”

“We're just going to take it one game at
a time and concentrate on that aici ” said
Sauers. |

The team plays a very competitive
schedule that includes four NCAA and
four ECAC playoff teams.

The Danes play such ex-SUNYAC rivals
as Buffalo State, Plattsburgh, Binghamton,
and Cortland. :

Albany also plays local rivals RPI,

-Union, and Skidmore.

The two toughest teams on the schedule
are Hartwick and Potsdam. Both teams
made the NCAA’s last season with Hart-
wick making it to the Final Four.

Hartwick is ranked sixth in the
preseason Division III poll in Sports

Illustrated.

The Danes play at Hartwick on

December 3. |

The big game for Albany will be on
February 18th when the Potsdam Bears
will come to Albany.

In the past, Albany and Potsdam always
played one game home and away. -

Starting this year, the teams will play

« alternately at each other's home, starting at

Albany this year. O

1e basketball teams as season awaits

Women: youth look to contribute

By Christopher Sciria

SPORTS EDITOR

Ponce DeLeon was looking in the wrong

place. The fountain of youth isn’t in
Florida, it’s here in Albany.

The Great Dane women’s basketball
team will consist of only two seniors, five
juniors, two sophomores, and four, count
them, four freshmen.

The baby boom has hit the Danes.

“What we have lost in experience,” said
Albany head coach Mari Warner, “we
have gained in youth, desire, and
aggressiveness.”

What the Danes lost in experience were
three quality starters.

Forward Cindy Jensen was the team’s se-
cond leading scorer and leading rebounder.

Point guard Donna Hughes was the glue
of the Danes last year. She dished out a
team high 136 assists and also led Albany
with 76 steals. Amazingly she also blocked
29 shots to lead the team.

The loss of her leadership will hurt too,

as the Danes played differently without
her.

_ and to stabilize the team.

“She is extremely talented,” Warner
said, but her drawback is her emotions.
She’s working on remaining calm.”

“My main goal is control,” Parish said,

““She’s something you dream about
building a running team around,” Warner
said.

“In a way I'm looking to score,” Parish
said. But I see myself running the offense.”

If Parish is running the offense, Mindy
McLaughlin will be expected to keep up
with her.

McLaughlin, the other senior, is a center
from Otego. She averaged 7.6 ppg and was
second in rebounds averaging 6.1 boards
per game.

Coach Warner hopes that Mindy will
score more this season. “She should shoot
15 times (a game) so teams have to come in
on her,” Warner said.

_ Rebounding won't be a problem for .
McLaughlin.

“She’s rebounding tremendously,”

Warner said, “but we have to get her the
ball.”

A EEA MRS PM SI ELT AE EI SESE RG

*‘T think we will surprise people. ’’
— Albany women’s coach Mari Warner

Guard-forward Julie Hotmer wasn’t
known for her offense (only 6.9 points per
game) but she played tenacious defense
and was a team leader.

With these three, Albany was 17-7 and
went to the ECAC’s where they lost an

opening round game to the University of
Rochester. »

For this year, the key to the Danes will
be their two returning starters, the quality
of their bench, and how much of a con-
tribution the younger players make.

Alisa Parish, a senior guard from Med-
ford, has to have another great year to lead
the Danes. Last year she led the Danes in
scoring averaging 14.1 points per game
(ppg). She also led Albany in steals with 61.

She will be looked on to take charge.

“Il have to speak in huddles,” Parish said,
“I find myself talking (to the team).”

According to Warner, those two are the
only Danes assured of starting. The other
three spots are up for grabs.

Junior forward Pam Wilson will con-
tribute more. From Albany High, she
averaged 2.8 ppg.

“Pam is tremendously improved,”
Warner said, “she’s more improved than
.any other player.”

“She's much more confident and a real
asset to the team,” Warner said, “she’s also
rebounding tremendously well.”

Warner also thinks Lisa Ginsberg has im-
proved over the summer. ;

The junior center from Syracuse averag-
ed 2. ppg last season. She did see time in 23
games.

“Gins has come leaps and bounds. Con-
ditioning has helped her,” Warner said,
“she’s more aggressive and she’s reboun-

ding well. I see big improvement and her
time is going to be increased,” Warner

added. —

The other junior forward is. Gina

Richardson from Albany. She averaged 6.4
PP8.

“Gina has the ability to be ee,
she’s very quick,” Warner said, “but Gina
has to work on her ball handling,” she add-
ed. “She's looking to be explosive.”

Another. major factor for the Danes is
outside shooting. Junior guard Sue Stemp-
sey, also from Albany will fill in that role.

Last year from three point range, Stemp-
sey was 8-16, best on the team.

“Everyone has a role, that’s hers,”
Warner said, “she’s a pure shooter and she’s
improved in rebounding.

Sophomore Michelle Traver will see
more action this season. The forward from

Ballston Lake only saw time in 12 games

last season.

“Michelle is much more comfortable this

year,” Warner said. “She's improved defen-
sively and if you get the ball into her
hands, she has the ability to score.”
Two players are joining the Danes this
year that are not freshmen. —
Junior Lisa Carraccio from Syracuse has
some assets, according to Warner.
“She brings maturity to the team and has

a nice outside shot,” Warner said. “She has '

three years varsity experience in high
school (West Genesee).

The other is sophomore Wanda Walker.
Another Syracusan (Corcoran High), she’s
been troubled by a bad knee.

“She's instinctive and knows the game,”
Warner said. “A nice passer and good on
boards too, the knee shouldn’t effect her.”

Now for the class of ‘92. The four frosh.
Warner is pleased with how they’re doing
so far. They're all guards too.

Faith Miller is from Plattsburgh,
Beekmantown High School.

“Faith is fundamentally sound, great hus-
tle on defense,” Warner said.

Sylvia Caldwell from Syracuse, Not-

_tingham High also impresses Warner.

_ “She’s really mature for her years,
Warner said. “A beautiful passer in the
open court. Extremely quick and
aggressive.”

Laurie. Annunziato from Nanuet is what
Warner calls a true point guard.

“She likes to direct things,” Warner said,
“has an outside shot and is surprisingly
quick.” ;

Tara Mizel from Huntington has a lot of
potential.

“One of the hardest working kids,”
Warner said. “She strikes me as an instinc-
tive player.”

Albany will be tested quickly. They
travel to the Eastern Connecticut Tourna-
ment this weekend where power Salem
State will be. After that they host 1988
NCAA tourney participant Nazareth on
November 29. Cortland, usually nationally
ranked comes to University Gym
December 5.

If the Danes are to make it back to the
NCAA's, a fast start is a must.

“We know we're going to be small and

_ quick. Sometimes too quick for our own

good,” Warner said, “turnovers are going
to be high.”

“We have to steal the ball,” she added.
“Our defense is going to be our strength. I
think we will surprise people.”

“(As for the schedule) It’s going to be
uphill every game,” Warner said, “I don’t
see us able to rest.”

Hopefully, with Warner's past record of
success; Albany will be playing in March.

November 18, 1988

King’s Dark Tower opened for business

tephen King’s newest release, The

Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, a

work just recently made available
in paperback form, proves that his
multifaceted talents are as easily used in
the writing of fantasy adventure novels as
they are used in the writing of horror
novels. If you are a loyal Stephen King fan,
and are still looking for his unique style of
horror, while not prominent, it is still evi-
dent in some of the more chilling scenarios
related in the book. King still lives up to his
high standards and reputation as “the un-
disputed master of modern horror.”

Jon Carlin

Gunslinger is the first installment in a
series of books entitled The Dark Tower
— a series already being referred to as
King’s “crowning achievement”, like Dune
was for Frank Herbert. King himself, in the
book’s afterword, refers to Gunslinger as
the “end of the beginning” of the Dark
Tower series and admitted that he has no

idea where this series is heading. As it’s ex--

pected that all deserving “crowning
achievements,” should, Gunslinger took an
incredibly long time to write, over twelve
years, in fact. King started, back in March
of 1970, to write Gunslinger. “It was time
to stop goofing around with a pick and
shovel and get behind the controls of one
big great God a’mighty steamshovel. . . it
was time to try and dig something big out

of the sand, even if the effort turned out to

be an abysmal failure.”

It was at that time that King wrote the
first two chapters of the Gunslinger, and in
the years that followed, King reportedly
referred back to Gunslinger whenever

another work was going poorly or when ~

he just needed an escape. It has turned out
to be anything but an “abysmal failure.”
The Dark Tower series with Gunslinger
tells the story of Roland, the last of the
gunslingers. Armed with two six-shooters
and a seemingly inexhaustible suppply of
bullets, this first installment in the series
follows Roland’s pursuit ‘of “the Man in
Black,” from a point twelve years after the
chase began, to the chase’s end. King im-
mediately draws the reader into the thrill
of the chase in the book’s first line: “The
man in black fled across the desert, and the
gunslinger followed.” King does not,
however, immediately tell the reader why
Roland is chasing the man in black. Or for

that matter, King doesn’t reveal who

Roland or the man in black really are.
The story the book has to tell extends
further than the chase, spending many
pages in the relating of Roland’s past to the
reader in flashback form. In_ these
flashbacks the reader learns about Roland’s
childhood and initiation into the elite
group known as “the gunslingers,” of
which Roland is the last. Serving not only
to relate Roland’s history, these flashbacks
also serve to destroy the reader’s initial
assumption that Roland is more than
human, more than mortal. The reader is
given into this assumption on the very first
page where Roland contemplates his level
of existance. “He [Roland] had progressed
through the khef over many years, and
reached the fifth level. At the seventh or
eighth, he would not have been thirsty; he
could have watched his own body
dehydrate with clinical, detached atten-
tion, watering its crevices and dark inner
hollows only when his logic told him it

Love Junk leaves
out the trash

he debut album from The Pursuit

a of Happiness is a strikingly mature

peice of work from these Canadian

newcomers. Beyond the racket of a grungy

guitar facade lies a core of finely crafted
melodies; pop with an edge.

Raymond Rogers

Lead singer Moe Berg’s harsh vocals
together with the sweet sounds of back-up

Leslie Stanwyck contrast perfectly with the

gruff overtones and pop-happy core of the
musical setting producer Todd Rundgren
has purposely given them. You almost
have to listen twice before realizing just

how good the album is.

More recognizable is Berg’s intuitive,

Sarcastic outlook. In “I’m an Adult Now,” |

the first single, Berg’s knack for noting par-
_ticulars shines through. Speaking of the
trauma of growing up, Berg, noticing in-
herent attitude changes, quips, “I don’t hate
my parents/I don’t get drunk just to spite
‘em/I've got my own reasons to drink
now/I think I'll call my dad up and invite
him.” His dead pan deliverance works
wonderfully with the propulsive guitar
surges.

tune, its most moving also, “She's so
young,” Berg points out, “she’s so young
that she’s got the answers; she doesn’t need
to question herself like I do, doesn’t need
to question the world like I do.” His in-
security and mixed emotions about grow-
ing older and relationships in general make
up the whole of this album’s content.

He questions his life, his reasoning, and
his love affairs (or lack thereof). The name
of the album, Love Junk, suggests that he
even questions his own concerns — things
really aren't that serious. —

What's serious here is the music: sound

melodies wrapped inside hard, propelling

guitar lines. One of the album's best is
“Walking in the Woods.” The beat of the
bass drum builds an exciting base for Berg’s
stark vocals while also creating a distant ex-
citement that continually grows nearer and
nearer. The jangly guitar lines and strong
harmonies of “Man’s Best Friend” are
especially entertaining with the Run-
dgrenesque style they posses.

Love Junk — the name says it all, junk
you love. On first glance, this may seem
like mere clutter, but a closer examination
proves otherwise. If honest emotion,
strong melodies and witty criticism of
human behavior is your kinda junk, you'll
love this. 0

In the album’s only out and out pop

must be done. He was not seventh or
eighth. He was fifth. So he was thirsty.”
But as King makes Roland seem superior to
the characters he comes across in the book,
it is only natural for the reader to assume
that Roland is in fact more than. human,
even though he never claims to be. “I'm

just a man.”, he tells one of the people he ©

encounters, even though the words appear
as if Roland is merely down-playing
himself.

The Man in Black is a mysterious
Stephen King villian that exudes evil. In at-
tempting to confuse the reader, King
makes the Man in Black seem noble in his
acts, by having him raise a dead man and
cure his illness, for instance. But Roland is
also portrayed as evil, in the act of betray-
ing trust when it comes between him and
his goals; and by performing horrendous
acts to achieve his ends. Yet even through
this clever smoke screen, the reader should
never have any doubt as to which
character is in the right.

The world King makes for this adven-
ture is one full of contrasts and contradic-
tions. It seems to be simultaneously
orimitive, post-holocaust, and modern. It is

world, yet for the setting of the story it
seems dead. (King has not yet explained
why this one time beautiful world is now
dead for one simple reason: “I (King) don’t.
know,” he writes in the afterword.) The
world is not our earth as a young boy nam-
ed Jake, that Roland comes across relates _

many of the same things that ours does

an understatement; if only to try to unders-

read in one sitting. : Oj

Greeks Here to Stay

To the Editor:

I am a 1988 graduate of SUNY-Albany. I spent all four
years of my college career in Albany, and in that time, I
picked up my pen many times to write to the Editor of the
ASP. This time, I chose to follow through with it.

You might wonder what gripe could be so irritating
that, as an alumnus, I finally chose to write. My problem
is with a book entitlied, Torch,
undergraduates who are unfamiliar with the book, it is
our yearbook.

Torch is supposed to be a reflection of memories for
the class it represents. Flipping through the pages, I
found some interesting photographs. There is one of a
man and woman in bed together. Then there is the stu-
dent urinating by WT’s. Who can forget the girl smoking
marijuana? I did not find this humorous, as I’m sure the
yearbook staff did.

Being a sister of a sorority, I was highly insulted that
the Greeks were told they could not be displayed as an

- Organization in the yearbook because, for one reason,
there wasn’t enough room. Obviously, the above-
mentioned photographs took priority.

As one of three co-chairpeople of Greek Week ’88, I
failed to find a single photograph of the event. I guess an
event involving over 1600 students is not important, but
events that never happened (Guiness Day, Mayfest) took
up two pages in this well-thought-out publication.

I was told that to put Greeks in, every organization
would have to be included. Well, it seems that the athletic
teams, Footworks, Peace Project and SA were included.
What gave them precedent over the group that represents
70 percent of all Corporate Executive Officers?

Possibly, the Interfraternity Council, and the SUNYA
Pan-Hellenic should consider having someone on the

yearbook staff. Since it seems that Greeks strive for ex- -

cellence, we should have a yearbook to be proud of,
rather than the one that now sits in my garbage can.
To all my fellow Greeks, I hope this is an incentive to

Raped and Crucified

To the Editor:

The ASP should publish articles on rape instead of |

“‘bad picures of Reagan’’?? Oh really?

Well, speaking not so much as the artist who drew
those pictures, or as a working member of the ASP, but
rather as a SUNYA student who watched Morton
Downey, Jr. this past Sunday, I take exception to that
suggestion.

Mr. Downey came to this campus to talk about campus
safety. Instead, he riled up the student audience into a
frenzy. This frenzy needed a scapegoat, and the editors of
the ASP fitted the bill.

Mr. Downey and others unjustly associated the ASP
with the problem of date-rape, and worse, clouded the
very important issue that was supposed to be under

_ discussion. Did Mr. Downey research the organizations

he was criticizing? It is obvious he did not.

What is obvious is that he acknowledged the baseless
premise felt by the audience, that the ASP was at fault
here, and then proceeded to nail the editors on his cross.
It didn’t matter to him which organization or person was
being crucified. That one was, was enough for him.

In any other forum, in any other setting, the negative
connection with the ASP and date-rape would be
ludicrous, if not unjustifiable.

As was brought up by one of the audience, it was ob-
vious that the majority of people were not there for date-
rape, they were there for Mort. Their ‘‘moral outrage’
was not genuine, it was fabricated and manipulated by

“Mr. Downey. A man called Hitler once did the same

thing.
Nothing is as simple as eee the editors of the ASP,
who happened to be on that stage that night. Other than

the blame of the rapists, blame is not clear regarding in

the issue of date-rape. What is clear is that when Morton
Downey, Jr. came to SUNYA, it was the ASP that was
raped.

—-Marc Guggenheim

A Little Class

To the Editor:

- As a member of Speaker’s Forum, I would first like to
thank all the panel members for standing up bravely in
the face of adversity during the Morton Downey, Jr.
show. You did a great job by not leaving the stage in
frustration. The sound system was poor, and the patience
you displayed in waiting for a microphone to be heard i is
definitely commendable..

I would also like to thank James Lamb for displaying
at least a little.class for the members of Student Associa-
tion. While I was tearing ticket stubs at the entrance, I
noticed that Mr. Lamb was the only member of SA to

stand on line with the hundreds of people entering while

other members of the SA hierarchy, such as Vice Presi-
dent Fern Cohen and a small number of SA officials had
the audacity to cut in front of everyone else upon entry.
I feel a small lesson can be taught to these people by
Mr. Lamb; that, in fact, they really are no better than
anyone else.
Speaking for myself, and not the Sacer s Forum, I

feel that although SA did co-sponsor the event, they did.

nothing to contribute to the show. The exception to this
is, of course, SA’s placing of the wrong ad in the ASP,
which erroneously stated that the show was sold out.

It took nerve for these people to believe that they did
not have to wait on line with fellow students. I personally

feel that Speaker’s Forum does not need to be connected.

with SA for events that we can run ourselves. We do not
need the hassle of ae ads or the rudeness of its
members.

I again thank the panel members and James Lamb for
displaying some charisma to an otherwise wild show.

Speaking now for Speaker’s Forum, we hope that the
people who were in attendance heard the voices of the
people and respond by getting involved.

Member, Speaker’s Forum

Undeserved Attack

To the Editor:

On Sunday night, along with a large number of other
students, I went to: see Morton Downey, Jr. in the gym.
The show started off well enough, but it turned into an
undeserved attack on the ASP.

Bryan Sierra and Colleen Deslaurier, the ASP’s co-
news editors, were attacked left and right about how the
ASP is not representing the students enough, and only
prints what the ‘‘faculty wants printed’’.

—Robert Noah

First of all, as you can see by this letter, that is not true.
When Ms. Deslaurier was asked what was on the cover of
the latest issue, the answer was: coverage of the problems
students had with registration for the election. At this, the
crowd and Mort went crazy. All they seemed to hear was
that the article was about the election, and not that it was
arguing for the students.

The issue at hand was date-rape, yet student after stu-
dent came up and attacked the ASP.

One of the students even went after the president of
*“‘Don’t Walk Alone’’, and said that ‘‘they were not doing
enough to protect the students’’. As with most other com-
plaints on this campus, this comes down to the students
themselves getting involved.

“Don’t Walk Alone’’ is a volunteer escort service, and
without the students, it would not exist, and will not ex-
pand. I would very much like to see students join ‘‘Don’t
Walk Alone’’, and do something about this complaint.

Even though the show turned (by Downey, himself) in-
to an uncontrollable event, there were some valid points
made. For example, that UPD seems to spend their nights
writing tickets in the paylots, rather than walking around
campus. It’s bad enough that there are only three or four
cars on patrol every night to cover six quads, but at least

they could be protecting us instead of having our cars
towed.

Also, as mentioned above, that comes down to the lack
of student involvement on campus. One student said that
if this was a meeting about public safety, there would on-
ly have been about 20 people there. Since this was the
Morton Downey show, however, everyone suddenly
became concerned and came out to voice their opinions.

As a returning RA, I can definitely support that state-
ment. Students complain about safety, but still open the
door for a stranger coming into the building while they
wait for their pizza in the lobby of their dorms.

I guess if there is anything positive that we can all- get

from going to, or hearing about the show, was that this

issue is up to the students. Whether that means to fight
for more officers on duty, j joining “Don’t Walk Alone’’,
or writing to the ASP and voicing our opinions, it is up to
us.

Maybe what this campus needs is a weekly Morton
Downey Show in order to get the students to think about
and act on their concerns.

—David Frucht
Resident Assistant

Apathy Gets
Nothing _.

To the Editor:

The Department of Residential Life has been, for
students, one of the major aspects of on-campus life.
Made up of students and professionals, Residential Life
does its best to promote a community environment in the
halls. The majority of the staff is made up of RA’s

(Residential Assistants) who, just like you and me, are
students.

In the student forum with Morton Downey, Jr. Sunday
night, students had things to say about Residential Life,
the most potent statement being that, ‘‘Residential Life,
RA’s (Residential Assistants) and RD’s (Resident Direc-
tors) do nothing.’’

That’s a very strong accusation. I’m not an RA, nor am
I any part of Residential Life, yet I have great respect for
the job RA’s do. And yes, it is a job. It is a job with the
craziest hours, greatest responsibilities, and smallest pay.

What many students forget is that RA’s are students
first, with classes to attend and tests to take. They also
may have other obligations like fraternities and sororities,
or extra jobs.

The 26 RA’s on each uptown quad are responsible for
many aspects of their jobs, but programming is one of the
toughest. RA’s spend a great deal of time and energy on
programming, only to have four or five people, the ma-
jority of whom are probably suitemates, attend. I’m sure
this can be very disappointing and frustrating. Why
bother to put together a fantastic program only to be the
single participant?

I’ve heard many people say that their RA does nothing.
But why bother to do anything when it doesn’t seem to
matter? RA’s get burnt out, and for good reason. All they
get is student criticism and student apathy.

_ Residential Life, like all other things on this campus is
student-motivated and student-activated. Without stu-
dent motivation, there is no activity.

When the woman in the forum said that Residential
Life does nothing, it is because students do nothing.
Nothing amounts to nothing. Student apathy leads to
Residential Life apathy and faculty apathy, which, in
turn, leads back to student apathy. It’s a circle this
university has been caught in for too long a period of
time.

Now is the time to change it through involvement in
hall programs, quad boards, and clubs on campus. Let’s
Start a new circle with student enthusiasm, causing
Residential Life and faculty enthusiasm. This will create a
more spirited campus. -

As Carter and Orfandis sug-
gest, families can be very power-
ful forces in an individual’s life.
This power is particularly evident
as the individual struggles to
develop his/her own sense of

gle might include:

> The college student who had
always gotten along with his/her
parents goes home for the
weekend, only to find him/herself
constantly battling and suffering
hurt feelings. The student gets
this vague sense that ‘‘things just
aren’t the same.’’

®& The friend who behaves in
ways to get other’s love and ap-

-proval or who rarely decides on

anything before checking it out
with others first.

In all of these situations a per-
son is attempting to change from
the child that the family fostered

to an adult. Along with this

change comes what appears to be
a rejection of certain beliefs, ideas
and values held by the family.
The reason it only ‘‘appears’’ to
be a rejection, is that the person is
not rejecting familial values, but
is instead beginning to define
his/her sense self. In other words,
the person is deciding who they
are, what they value, and why
they hold these values. This per-
son is beginning to separate emo-
tionally from the parents.

Not all the examples, however,
involved parental figures. How
could separation from parents af-

fect other” relationships? Oddly

enough, the level at which one is
separated from his/her parents
can directly affect other interper-

separated from parents may fear
their partner’s independence
because so much of their own
sense of self is tied into the rela-
tionship that their partner’s in-
dependence can feel like
rejection.

So what does separating from
parents mean? Separation is view-
ed on a continuum, with one end
representing those who are fairly
un-separated and the other
representing those who are highly
separated. Those who are
separated, are more autonomous,
base decisions on thinking rather
than feeling, and can use an ‘‘I”’
position when voicing their opi-
nions. For example, in the follow-
ing scenario, the male’s behavior

is typical of someone who has |

separated somewhat from
parents: a couple ends a long-
term, turbulent relationship. The
male is having difficulty accepting
the break-up. In dealing with his

Separation leads to identity struggle

anxiety and pain, he decides not
to call the ex-girlfriend for a while
so that she can have time to think.

The unseparated person,
however, lives his/her life
through their feelings. They chan-
nel all their energy into gaining
approval, love, and attention

from others. So much energy goes

into seeking approval, that little
energy is left to devote to the
development of a new self. For
example, in the above scenario,
the un-separated person whould
likely respond by repeatedly call-
ing the ex-girlfriend night after
night so that he remains in her
thoughts. The second response
was based on feelings with little
attention to the consequences of
his actions, while the first
response was based on careful

thinking.

tion, the person leaves behind

Freedom Quad Board established

By Beth Hyman

Residents of The Freedom
Quad complex have taken their
own measures to answer the
debate about whether the com-
plex is actually a ‘‘quad’’.

Freedom quad, the apartment

complex on Fuller Road, is now
built and occupied by approx-
imately 180 seniors and graduate
students. Most of the residents
are of age 21 and over, but is
becoming an active part of
SUNYA campus life.

On November 6, Freedom
Quad Board held its first meeting.
The quad residents are now being
officially represented by Presi-
dent Genevieve Conner, Vice-
President Laurie Seeling,
Treasurer Bill Kennedy; Cheryl
Dozier; Minority Assistance Pro-
gram, and Dwayne Wilkins, Stu-
dent Association Advisor.

The new Quad Board has had
three meetings of its own, and is
also represented in the Interquad
Council, where ideas are im-
plemented and feedback is heard
from all the other quad boards.
Although it has just. started,
Freedom Quad Board already has
many plans and ideas in the

waiting.

Committees have been formed
to facilitate development of the
Quad’s activities. These commit-
tees are: Special Events, Arts and
Advertising, Newsletter, and Liv-
ing And Learning.

A survey has been received by

all Freedom Quad residents con-

cerning what preferable
events/activities will also be pur-

sued in the future.

Presently, the Quad Board is
dealing with the tasks of getting a
bus, and obtaining lighting for
the sidewalks to enhance a safer
environment.

Freedom Quad is not con-

+ sidered an equal quad, according

to Connor. ‘‘It is a quad, but not
like the others.’? For example,

In the aftermath of Morton
Downey Jr., with the controver-
sies concerning the serious issues
of public safety and the Albany
Student Press reporting abilities
- the question which confronts
students is whether or not the
event was successful.
**We were very pleased with
the whole thing,’’ said Kevin
Gold, President of Speaker’s
Forum, the Student Association
funded group which help the
event.

‘‘Morton Downey Jr. was
pleased, as well, (especially

impressed with our panel. He
felt it was very diverse... He said
that he’s been to 63 colleges so
far, and they have all had all
male-white panels. We were the
first ones who didn’t,’’ Gold
said.

However, in searching around
campus for student opinions,
there were those who were not
as highly optimistic about the

event. Jeff Luks, a sophomore

at SUNYA, said, ‘‘I think he’s
(Morton Downey Jr.) an idiot.
All he is is an antagonist. He
just happens to be the one who
started it.’’

‘‘Maybe now the ASP might
do something to change their ar-
ticles - but I don’t think student
apathy will change, and that’s
the main problem,’’ Luks said
when asked if anything was
accomplished.

Luks also felt, concerning the
ASP issue, that, ‘‘most of (what
was said) was true. I don’t think
they’ve done enough about safe-
ty. Maybe they should devote
more time to students and less
time to advertising.’’

Senior Gregg Solomon
agreed, ‘‘They should stop
reporting on central council,
whom no one cares about, and
focus on the interests of the
wider student body,’’ Solomon
said.

‘“‘The ASP conflict arose,”’
Gold said, ‘‘when the issue of
‘date rape’ turned into one of

‘the ASP should do more.’

Separation

(<1

what is known and familiar for
what is unknown and unsure.
This can often leave one feeling
tenuous about old and new rela-
tionships. In addition this can be
a very confusing and painful
time. Separating from parents can
be especially painful because
parents often see this as a rejec-
tion of what they have to offer.
3 They see the child’s separation as
' a loss in a sense, the loss of the
child. The person trying to
separate also senses this loss. At
times there is a struggle over the
desire to be the child and have the
parents take care of them, and the
desire to be the adult.

Despite the fact that separating
is both a normal and healthy pro-
cess, it can still be quite upsetting.
College students are particularly
vulnerable to be experiencing this
developmental task. One reason

_ for this is that college is often the

first time that the student has
separated physically from the
parents. Another reason is that at
college the student is exposed to a
variety of people, all of whom br-
‘ing different values and ideas.
This exposure can challenge long
held values that the family instill-
ed. The result can be confusion.
There is no need for anyone to
sort through this confusion alone.

If anyone you know is having
difficulty sorting through feelings
described in this brief article, en-
courage them to get support dur-
ing this time; or if you are having
similar problems, reach out: for
support.

Support can be sought by con-
tacting the Middle Earth Crisis
Line (442-5777). Middle Earth of-
fers supportive on-going counsel-
ing, crisis contact through our

The topic of campus safety
was chosen because ‘‘It hits
home for everyone,’’ Gold said.
The ASP was merely made a
scapegoat for the graver pro-
blems at hand, and that, in this
instance, the ASP was not at
fault.

Jeremy O’Brien, a freshman
at SUNYA also stated that the
ASP ‘‘shouldn’t have been at-
tacked like they were.’’ He felt
that Downey ‘‘didn’t really do

anything. He wasn’t involved |

with the controversy as much as
he could have been.’’

And if Downey did say
anything, senior Karen Eisens-
tein said, ‘‘You couldn’t even
hear what was going on. They
kept straying from the topic - all
everyone did was rank on the
ASF.”?

Eisenstein however, felt that
while it is true, ‘“‘they (the ASP)

can’t print rumours.’’ She said —

it was also true that they do not
really print what the average
student might be interested in
reading.

Eisenstein also agreed with
the overriding negative view that
night, concerning public safety,
whom she feels is ‘‘too busy giv-
ing out parking tickets.”’

*‘For what it was worth it was
good,’’ said Eisenstein, adding
she has never seen Morton
Downey Jr.’s show. ‘“‘I just
thought the topic was stupid.”’
However, she also noted that
Monday night, as she was leav-
ing the library, there appeared
to be ‘‘ten times as many people
working for Don’t Walk Alone.
Usually there’s maybe about

four or five people,’’ she said. .

When asked if he felt the
Morton Downey Jr. Night ac-
complished anything, Solomon

- said ‘‘No, it was purely enter-

tainment.’’ Although many
other unnamed students did
have an enjoyable evening, at
the very least, as Gold says, “‘it
made students more aware that
a problem exists.”’ oO

representing SDI. When the foil
balls were thrown at her, the old
umbrella was ineffective in pro-
tecting her.

While the students were chan-
ting and listening to the speakers,
Andrew Greenblatt of NYPIRG
was on the sidelines arguing with
several students who were in
favor of SDI.

After the umbrella demonstra-
tion, Korotzer invited anyone
who wished to speak to take the
microphone, and begin a debate.

The argument in favor of SDI
was presented by a student wat-
ching the rally, who said, ‘‘A lot
of good things like medical ad-
vances have come out of military
research, and we need a strong
America.’’

Members of Peace Project
fielded this argument by restating
that SDI would be ineffective,
and that medical research could
be done more effectively for far
less money than SDI has cost.

‘I too believe in a _ strong
America, and that’s why I don’t
want to see us waste all this
money on a system that won’t
work,’’ Greenblatt stated.

‘*With so many people living in

the streets, it’s a crime to waste
money like this,’’ Korotzer said.

The rally concluded with
students chanting ‘‘Books, Not
Bombs.”’

‘‘I was pleased with the
results,’’ Obach stated, wearing a
button that said ‘‘Military Spen-
ding is Killing Us.”’

*‘Our lively debate really got
the point across. Clearly, the tur-
nout was significant,’’ Obach
added.

‘*The students showed a real in-
terest in this issue. They respond-

| ed well and really believe they can_|__ [—_________}

change things,’’ Korotzer said.
Both said it was encouraging that
sO many students believe federal
money should be spent on social
issues rather than on defense.

This was Peace Project’s first
major event of the year. They
plan to continue their activism
with petitioning, distributing in-
formation in Campus Center, and
showing films.

Peace Project members said
they have invited Robert Boeman,
former head of the SDI project
who now calls it unworkable, to
speak at SUNYA. They are also
state-wide
demonstration against military
research to be held at SUNY-
Central in downtown Albany.

“If anything, any harrassment
by the University only increases
our commitment to fight for an
end to military research here,”’
Obach said. O

Pedro moves up on Dane all-time rushing list

- By Jerry L. Kahn

STAFF WRITER

Junior fullback Pete Pedro, Jr., finished
the 1988 football season by becoming the
number two rusher in Albany history and
was name ‘‘Offensive Back of the Year.”’

With one more season to play, Pedro
needs only 554 yards to catch the Great
Danes’ all-time leader, Tom DeBlois. That
is easily within his. grasp as he has averaged
709 yards per season during his career, and
has had over 800 yards rushing in each of
the two past seasons.

Pete was born in Lynn, Massachusetts
to Pete, Sr. and Gloria Pedro. He is the
middie child of five. He has two older
sisters, a younger
brother, and a younger
sister.

Albany football
coach, Bob Ford, said ®
*“Pete Pedro comes from P r ofile
a great lineage.’’

Pete, Sr. was an All-American halfback
for West Texas State and was second in the
nation in running during his senior year.
Preacher Pilot led the country. He was a
kick returner for the New England Patriots
for one and a half years before a broken
leg in preseason camp ended his pro-
career. Afterwards, he played some semi-
pro.

Pete, Jr. said that if anybody is his idol,
it would be his father.

His parents come to all of the home
games. This year they attended seven out
of the ten games, although only six were at
home.

Pedro said ‘‘I love having them come to
the games. Even if I don’t have a good
game personally, they’re always there to
tell you they’re still proud of you. They
don’t mind the (three hour) trip at all.
Some nights, they’ll stay overnight.”’

Pete spoke about his beginnings in foot-
ball. He said ‘‘All the kids in the
neighborhood ...we’d always. play
together.”’

Pete played football with his friends on
the street. When he was seven or eight, he
began to play Pop Warner football. He
continued with that until he was 13 and
began to play high school football.

He went to Lynn Classical High School
and was coached by Dick Cerone. He
played baseball, also.

He said that they had a decent high
school team and that the quarterback and
the halfback were really talented. He was
the second string running back, but they
ran a split hack offense, so he received a
lot of playing time.

Player

After high school, Pete went to prep
school in Maine for one year where he
played a college junior varsity schedule.

. He said that people go to prep schools to.

improve their athletic ability. His coach,
Joseph Raczjak, was an All-American for
the Great Danes about seven years ago.

Pete said, ‘‘When I came here, the
coaching staff was terrific (to me). It was
more like a family atmosphere.”’

He said that two of the seniors told him
about how good the school is.

During his freshman year, one of the
people with whom he lived was Ben
Schmerler.

Schmerler said, ‘‘Pete was always a
good sport, despite twice being the runner-
up in our
contest.

‘‘He was always playing pratical jokes.
You could do anything to him and he
wouldn’t get embarrassed. No complaints
about him, everyone got along with him.
He always had a good sense of humor.”’

‘‘I remember the time that we
(suitemates Schmerler, Andrew
Dunscomb, and John Sherman) got a
(prank) call from one of Pete’s friends say-
ing he was in the Troy county jail and that
they were looking for money to help bail
him out. So, we were kind of

‘Suitemate of the Month’

Pete Pedro is only 555 yards c away form being the leading rusher in Albany history.

suspicious . . . so two of our suitemates
(Sherman and Dunscomb) went out to
look for him. When he returned late at
night, I pretended I was half-asleep and
told him that the other suitemates had
gone looking for him.’’

Schmerler said that Pete’s parents were
coming over to bail him out. So, Pete
started to call his parents but stopped when
John and Andrew came in and everybody
let him in on the joke.

Schmerler said, ‘‘Pete was very
generous, especially with his food. He
always shared his Pop Tarts with us.”’

Pete gets along well with his teammates,
also. After the season has been over for a
couple of weeks, he really starts to miss
everyone.

He said that the coaches help the players
with schedules, test advice, courses, and
other scholastic decisions.

Coach Ford said, ‘‘He’s totally
unselfish. Totally team-oriented, he would
be the first to give credit to the people who
blocked for him.”’

Pedro said, ‘‘The offensive line, they
just really work so hard. It’s just easier
when they open up holes. They don’t stop
until that whistle blows.

“It’s nice (being second on the Great
Danes’ All-Time rushing list). The per-
sonal things don’t really mean as much as

playing with the guys on the team. The
records are just a bonus, something extra
that you get from playing football. It’s
easy when you have a talented offensive
line blocking for you.

“‘T really can’t do a thing without (my
teammates). It starts out with Pat Ryder
(the quarterback) getting a good read.
When I had someone to beat, there was
always a receiver down there just to make
that last key block.”’

He gave credit to the coaches, as well.
He said that Coach Ed Zaloom really
helped a lot.

“This guy knows his game, inside and
out,’’ Pedro said.

Pedro, who is 5’7’’ and 185 pounds,
runs the 40 yard dash in 4.6 seconds.

He said, ‘‘At this level, you know, I do
have breakaway speed. I think that being
just a little bit smaller, and being a little
quicker (helps me the most). I think that.
it’s hard for the defense to see me.”’

Coach Ford described Pete, saying
“(Pete is) relatively small ...has ex-
cellent balance, a great work ethic, good

strength, breakaway speed,
(and). . . turned into a good’ blocker.”’

Pedro said, ‘‘I just try to go out there
and just play the way that I’ve been taught
how to play, and not try to be somebody
else.”’

Pete’s longest run this year was a 47.
yarder in Albany’s 28-20 win over Buffalo.

He described it, saying ‘‘It was blocked
up in the middle.-I think it was Dan
Hodack, the receiver, made a key block.
The offensive line made a couple of key
blocks . . . just walling down the defense.
It was just me and one man to beat and
Hodack made the big block. After that, it
was just a race to the endzone.”’

During his University at Albany career,
Pete has been held to only a seven yard
loss. In his freshman and junior seasons,
he was never held for a loss.

_ About not being held for a loss during

the entire season, he said, ‘‘It’s something
that I’m definitely pleased with, but | él
credit the offensive line).’’

Looking forward, he said, “I think
we're going to have a great season next
year. Next season, we have a good group
of guys coming back.’’

One of the things which he was happy
about was that three of the starters from
the offensive line will return.

He said that after he graduates from

here, he wants to go to graduate school.
Although he is majoring in sociology and
minoring in business, he is not sure what
he wants to become. O

Great Dane crew teams close out fall seasons

By T.E. Kane

STAFF WRITER _ .

The Albany crew team mens open eight
‘‘A”’ boat narrowly missed defeating the

Skidmore crew team boat twice in two

weeks.
After beating the Skidmore Crew for the

first time ever two weeks ago at the Head

of the Fish Regatta, the Albany boat at-
tempted to make it the first time ever they
beat Skidmore twice in a row. But a four
second difference between the boats
eliminated a chance for the Albany team to
set a new mark at the Head of the Hudson
Regatta.

The Albany shell raced to a time of
10:11 in the two mile course, while Skid-
more logged a 10:07, in a race in which all

of the competitors were only separated by

51 seconds. The Albany ‘‘B’’ boat in the
open eight class was one second behind the
Marist shell, which garnered a time of

10:31. The last place was the Albany ‘‘C’”’

boat with a 10:58 time.

The Albany ‘‘A’’ boat ran a strong race,
but just got beat by a better boat on that
particular day.

There were no problems, and there was
little the ‘‘A’’ shell could have done
differently.

‘‘Rarlier in the season we won by four
seconds and this time we lost by four,”’
Mike Meyer, member of the ‘‘A’’ boat,
said. ‘‘That’s the way it goes sometimes’.

“It’s a little disappointing to end the fall
season in this way,’’ Meyer continued.
‘‘We were really keyed up for the Fish
(Regatta) two weeks ago but maybe we
were not as keyed up as much for this
one’’,

The missed opportunity to beat Skid-
more again was but a stumble in a season
that saw great leaps and bounds in com-
petitiveness. The goal on the outset for

Albany was to develop a winning tradi-
tion, and become mentally tough.

‘‘We have to look at where we came
-from since last year,’’ said Nick Hawtin, a
-member of the ‘‘B’’ boat,‘‘last year we
weren’t competing in this division and this
year we are competing strongly’’.

The overall strength of the program has
increased. In their second race the frosh
novice team eight boat was victorious over

the Marist ‘‘B’’ group with a time of.

11:07, two seconds ahead of their second
place competitor.

The women’s novice eight ‘‘B’’ had a
stong showing by placing second with a
12:37 time. The first place boat was the
Marist ‘‘A’’ boat that had a time of 12:03.
The Albany ‘‘A’’ and ‘‘C’’ boats finished
third and fifth with times of 12:40 and
14:00 respectively.

The womens open eight finally gelled in-
to a cohesive and competitive unit with a

weren’t that dedicated,’’ Jody Langley —

The ‘‘real’’ intercollegiate season begins :
in early April with a Regatta on the |
Charles River against MIT and the Univer- —
sity of Rhode Island. The season will end
with the Small College National in
Philadelphia which will be the ultimate
goal of the Albany crew team.

Experience is the key difference between
this year’s team and last year’s, according ~
to coach Mike Davenport. 3
_ The crew team will attempt to set a
record off the water this winter as well.
The record they will be attempting to
break is one that they set last year for row-
ing the longest without stopping. Last year —
they rowed for over 100 years, and they
plan to exceed that this year. 13:
