m Central Council elects
new chair and vice chair

By Tom MuRNANE

Senior Editor

Karima Wilkman and
Christian Klossner were elected
Wednesday night as Central
Council’s chair and vice chair
for 1993-1994.

Wilkman, a junior from Forest
Hills, Queens, defeated current
vice chair Jason Stern in the first
round for the top Council seat.
Stern later resigned his seat on
Council, but was unavailable for
comment Thursday.

“This looks like a record to
me,” said outgoing chair Sarah
Zevin of the election, which took
just under an hour to complete.

This year’s election contrasts
sharply with the one of two years
ago. In that one, it took a record
23 rounds during a marathon 14
hour period for Cindy Goldberg
to edge out M. Kazim Ali.

While Wilkman’s victory was
quick and uneventful, the oppo-
site could be said for the
Klossner- Rokida Eytina race for
vice chair.

Though Klossner was the win-
ner, it wasn’t easy. It took eight
grueling rounds of debate and
almost four hours before

Klossner was named vice chair.

The reason it took so long- nei-
ther candidate received the two
thirds, or 14 votes, necessary to
win. Round after round, the two
candidates were logjammed,
with Klossner one vote shy of
the victory in most of the rounds.

And the main cause for the
logjam was Klossner’s backers,
including a block of fellow New
York Public Interest Research
activists, refused to waver.
Neither did Eytina’s, whose
most outspoken supporters were
ASUBA Candace Rosa
Clemente, and Council represen-
tatives Maylyn Thomas and
Mike Lewis.

Klossner’s supporters praised
him for his work on last fall’s
voter registration drive and the
landlord exchange program he
said he just started to help alert
potential renters to the good and
bad landlords.

And Eytina, a freshman and
Colonie native, was supported
just as strongly. While
Klossner’s backers cited his
experience as an organizer,
Thomas and Clemente said elect-
ing Eytina would encourage
other freshmen to get involved in

the Student Associatiorf.

And her work in a African-
Latino professional organization
and other groups gave her
enough experience, they argued.

By the duration of the logjam,
it was clear the other Council
members had to choose between
two strong candidates and sever-
al Council members said just
that.

Both candidates voiced their
Tespect for each other’s qualifi-
cations, a mood shared by the
test of Council, as shown by the
uncharacteristic absence of snip-
ing and bitter arguments. :

Tronically, had more Council
members been veterans rather
than relative newcomers, a ques-
tion by Thomas could have hurt
Eytina before the eighth round.

Thomas asked both candidates
what they thought about the
ANSWERS incinerator located
on Sheridan Ave. in Arbor Hill,
an issue brought before Council
several times during the past two
years.

Through his work with
NYPIRG, which has staged
numerous protests about the
incinerator, Klossner jumped to

Methane takes dump

Istanbul, Turkey
(AP) A methane gas explosion at a city
dump killed as least 13 people today and
buried up to 100 slum residents under
heaps of burning garbage and debris,
officials said.

The explosion dislodged tons of refuse,
burying squatter houses in a gorge below
the dump, about 20 miles northeast of the
city center. Firefighters worked for hours
to put out the blaze caused by the
explosion.

Between 50 and 100 people were
believed buried, said a municipal
spokesman, Yalcin Sonmez,

Crews using heavy machinery and
metal detectors rescued at least five
people and recovered 13 bodies, said city
official Mahmut Koca.

Relief experts at the scene held out little
hope of people survjving for long under
the garbage because of the methane gas
produced by the decomposing refuse, said
another city official, Coskun Yeniay.

Ismail Hakki Celayir, chief of the
rescue effort, said there was a fear of
other explosions.

About 1,500 rescue workers were sent
to the scene.

““We were all concerned about such an
incident because of the methane gas and
were looking for a dump ‘site outside the

city limits,” Yeniay said.

NASA reroutes urine

Space Center, Houston
(AP) NASA hung the “Out of Order”
sign’on the urinal aboard Space Shuttle
Columbia for about an hour.

Engineers believe an accordion-like
device that squirts waste overboard from a
storage tank got stuck Tuesday. Pilot
Terrence “Tom” Henricks rerouted the
urine into two rubber—lined storage bags

Health ins. explored

Washington D.C,
(AP) President Clinton’s advisers are
considering phasing in health insurance
coverage for the 37 million uninsured
Americans over three to seven years, an
official familiar with the deliberations
says.

Clinton has publicly pledged his reform
measure would provide universal
coverage by the end of his term, which
ends in January 1997. But the official that
discussed the matter Tuesday on condition
of anonymity, said the timetable may be
slowed because of the huge sums needed
to extend coverage to the uninsured.

Authorities arrested Keeler in
September 1991 in a raid that uncovered
about 60 marijuana plants, some as tall as
12 feet.

Officials said Keeler’s yard was
protected by an electronic sensor alarm
system and had signs warning thieves that
they would be killed.

Bullard’s case withers

Ballston Spa, N.Y.
(AP) A former politician who once ran

The accordion-like device, or bellows,
uses nitrogen to pressurize urine and other
waste water and force it overboard
through a nozzle. When it got stuck, it
caused a nitrogen buildup in the tank,
which than sprang a small nitrogen leak,
NASA said. That in turn, reduced
drinking water pressure aboard the
shuttle, but NASA said that was only a
minor inconvenience for the crew.

Mission Control spokeswoman Kari
Fluegal said the problem would not cut

second-degree grand larceny.

In a plea bargain, Bullard admitted to
County Judge Frank B. Williams that
while he was trustee of Helen E. Bullard’s
estate, he diverted the funds from the
estate to Bullard’s Orchards. Bullard said
he intended to pay the money back.

While Williams said it was up to
Bullard to return the money, he said it

Garbage part of ANSWERS

Arbor Hill residents up in flames over
continued existence of incinerator

By Pam RESNICK
News Editor

The smell of burning garbage still
fills the air of downtown Arbor Hill,
as a controversy ensues among
environmentalists and officials of
the ANSWERS incinerator.

The ANSWERS incinerator was
put in line in 1982 and has since
been the center of negotiations for
closure in 1995 or 1996, said Peggy
Tyler, technical communications
manager of Energy Answers, the
company that constructed the plant.

“A lot of people who are up in
arms want it to be closed a lot soon-
er than is being negotiated,” Tyler
said,

Sean Fitzgerald, project coordi-
nator of the New York Public
Interest Research Group said even
at optimal efficiency the plant’s
dioxin levels are still 188 times

higher than the standard, dioxin
being the most toxic compound
known to science.

Although this high level of pollu-
tion was detected by the New York
State Department of Environmental
Conservation in 1987, Tyler said,
“They have not linked it to any
health problems.”

Tyler does agree ANSWERS is
“not a state of the art facility...there
would have to be extensive air-con-
trol improvements.”

They started building waste ener-
gy facilities [which] burn gas and
make steam,” Tyler said,

The ANSWERS plant currently
runs the heating facilities for the
state office buildings, Tyler said.

“Most of the groups that are
protesting,” Tyler said, “believe that
garbage should be used as fuel.”

“They have mandated that [the
plant] be converted to natural gas,”

“Most human interaction is mediated with

Tyler said.

Fitzgerald said NYPIRG would
accept a plant using natural gas but
at the moment “it can’t improve
because it wasn’t built to fill the
specifications” of the 90s.

Fitzgerald said the State Health
Department has been giving their
complaints about the conditions of
the plant.

He said the plant gets inspected
once every three years and is
allowed one month notice.

“They are aware they are being
inspected,” Fitzgerald said, so they
are able to insure they are “working
at optimal efficiency.”

But optimal efficiency “doesn’t
meet the current standards” the state
has set since the opening of the
plant in the early 80s.

At the moment, the state pays
$34.50 for every ton of Albany’s
garbage.

City of Albany to “buy out the
waster disposal” for $29 million

symbols,” said John Justeson, associate pro-
fessor in the Department of Anthropology at
SUNYA.

Justeson and his co-author Terrence
Kaufman published the cover story of the
March 19 issue of Science magazine, which
revealed their decipherment of part of the
epi-Olmec script of ancient Mexico.

“Recovering actual words of such solemn
and sacred importance to people, recording
things about their lives; it was awesome.
You feel humbled by it,” Justeson said.

“The fun part of the research was the puz-
zle aspect, linking the clues together,”

Justeson said.

Southern Mexico is considered the former
heartland of Olmec civilization (1200 B.C.
to 500 B.C.) Therefore, Justeson and
Kaufman refer to the script tradition they
analyzed as epi-Olmec “because the archel-
ogical cultures of the area descended from
that of the Olmecs.”

Justeson and Kaufman deciphered the long
inscription on a stela that was found acciden-
tally in 1986 by local loggers at La Mojarra,
a small ranching and fishing settlement on
the Acula River in southeastern Veracruz.

great discovery

The stela depicts an epi-Olmec warrior-like
king, and the text revealing a “lengthy
description of his rise to kingship through
several years of warfare and ritual activity,”
according to the authors’ analysis.

Also, Justeson and Kaufman deciphered
inscriptions on the famed Tuxtla Statuette
found in 1902 plowed up in a field in
Veracruz. The statuette depicts a man, wear-
ing a duckbill mask and a cape of bird wings
and claws. This text on the statuette is con-
sidered closely related to the text on the stela
because the shaman is
“mentioned twice on the
Stela in association with
the accession rituals of the
La Mojarra ruler,” and
several other factors.

The inscriptions on the
La Mojarra Stela 1 (A.D.
159) and the Tuxtla
Statuette (A.D. 162) were
deciphered but Justeson
and Kaufman provide the
earliest currently readable
texts in Mesoamerica,
according to their article.
Justeson and Kaufman
identify language revealed
in the ancient script as pre-
proto-Zoquean, the ances-
tor of four languages now
spoken in the states of
Veracruz, Tabasco,
Chiapas, and Oaxaca.

Justeson is teaching two
anthropology courses in
semester.
“Symbols in Human Nature
(Ant 160M held in a LC),
will focus on how symbols systems work
and how writing systems and alphabets
evolved.

“IT am planning on teaching the course
with more emphasis on “hands on” experi-
ence. One of the exercises might include
learning how to make quipu, which are knot-
ted chords used as a method of recording by
the Incan Empire,” Justeson said.

The other course, Writing Systems
Seminar in MesoAmerican is a new course
designed by Justeson.

_ Discrimination against short and fat may

_ come to end if civil rights law is changed

By DENINE MILNER
Albany, NY
(AP) A tall, thin assemblyman
carried the banner Wednesday
for the calorically and vertically
challenged.

State Assemblyman Daniel
Feldman, who’s 5 foot 11 and
165 pounds, said that New York
state civil rights law should be
amended to protect short and fat
people from discrimination in
housing, employment and edu-
cation.

Feldman said the measure
would help elimi-
nate the “last con-
ventionally accept-
ed form of bigotry
in our society.”

“People who
claim a degree of
cultural civility do

pared statement that the guide-
lines are part of an appearance
program which assures “that our
inflight personnel project a pro-
fessional image to our cus-
tomers.”

“United believes that its cur-
rent height/weight guidelines are
a reasonable practice,” the state-
ment said.

USAIR spokeswoman Susan
Young said weight requirements
at the airline are enforced for
safety reasons.

“If you have to evacuate the

harassed because of their weight
can sue for damages, just as a
black person or a woman can
under the state’s civil rights pro-
tection laws.

The measure would include an
exemption for businesses which
feel the law could cause them a
financial burden. For instance,
airlines would be forced to
revamp their seats to accommo-
date fat people, Feldman said.
“But I don’t think asking them
to allow someone to pay for one
seat instead of two will cause

Feldman said.

not generally feel
comfortable expressing preju-
dices toward race, religion or
ethnic groups,” Feldman said.
“Many of those same people feel
perfectly comfortable making
slurs about people based on
body size. That’s wrong.”

He was joined at an Albany
news conference by the National
Association to Advance Fat
Acceptance.

A study by the National
Center for Health Statistics said
that more than 27 percent of
Americans are obese. Members
of the association said it is those
} people who face discrimination
everyday — from taunting, to the
denial of housing, transporta-
tion, medical services and jobs.

Supporters of Feldman’s mea-
sure pointed to the airline indus-
try as an example of job dis-
crimination against fat people.
Nancy Coopersmith, a member
of the Association of Flight
Attendants, said flight attendants
are forced at some airlines to
“weigh in like cattle” to keep
their jobs.

“If you’re over the weight
they say you should be, then
you're sent home like an unruly
child,” said Coopersmith, who is
a flight attendant for United
Airlines. “They tell you lose the
fat and meet the guidelines, or
you can’t come back. I can’t tell
you how dehumanizing that is.”

United Airlines said in a pre-

State with a similar
law on the books, Feldman said.

Gov. Mario Cuomo, com-
menting Wednesday on the pro-
posal, said this might be one law
too many for New York.

“We should urge people not to
insult other people, that’s a valid
function,” Cuomo said on
WAMC on _ Wednesday.
“Whether you should make that
a law or not, you should be more
careful about it because there is
a good reason to believe we
have too many laws already and
that it’s difficult to make a law
to achieve all the good things
you want it to achieve.”

plane, or get through a window
or get in tight to push passengers
by you — that involves certain
types of physical requirements,”
Young said.

But that was just a small prob-
lem to Patti Horton,’ who
described herself as “super-
sized.” Horton, 42, of White
Plains, detailed instances where
she was asked to pay for two air-
line seats because she could not
fit into one. She also said she has
faced taunts from bus drivers
and passengers when she’s taken
up two seats.

“I’m not saying you have to
make bigger seats,” Horton said,
“Just don’t give me a hard way
to go because I need two seats.”

Under Feldman’s measure,

discriminated against or

Lighthouse Award named
Disabled student wins nationwide contest

By JENA GIuRICEO
Staff Writer

Joy and surprise were two words
Michelle Macalalad used to describe her
reaction to winning the Lighthouse
Scholarship award.

Macalalad, a SUNYA junior, was a
winner in a nationwide scholarship com-
petition sponsored by the Lighthouse, a
non-profit organization that helps the
visually impaired and blind.

Applicants were based on academic
merit, extra—curricular activities and an
essay.

Macalalad won in her category in
which she wrote an essay relating her
career goals and extra-curricular activi-
ties to her studies.

Since the competition was nationwide
Macalalad said winning was quite an
accomplishment.

“Jt’s an incredible feeling (to win). I
think my feet have finally touched the
ground,” Macalalad said .

On June 2nd, at a reception in New
York City, Macalalad said she will
receive a check for $5,000.

The money is free for her to use toward
her education, whether it be tuition or to
upgrade her visual equipment, she said.

Macalalad said she plans to put the
money toward graduate school.

Macalalad lost her vision as a result of
a brain tumor that was diagnosed at age
17. She had two operations that removed
ninety percent of the tumor but she

Computer minor not stable

By Davin KaPLan
Senior Editor

As_a result of budget constraints, the
computer minor, currently available to
majors in the School of Social Sciences is

in danger of being wiped out according to

Professor Al Higgins, director of the pro-
gram.
Higgins said the computer minor is one
of the most valuable and useful programs.
“The minor provides the basic skills for
general computer use. In todays competi-
tive market, graduating seniors need
every little bit of help they can get to gain
an edge” Higgins said.
Higgins said he does not think there is
any alternative: to the ‘program.
~ “Computer literacy should be a part of

every undergraduate experience. This
program provides the basic skills for gen-
eral computer use, and the students love
it,” Higgins said.
The minor is currently in danger.
“Since its origin, the program has been
hurt as a result of financial cutbacks.

-Today the program is walking with a

cane,” he said.

“The minor has been the bread and but-
ter of many students in the social sci-
ences. Hopefully, Dr. Judith A. Gillespie,
the new dean of the College of Arts and

Sciences will‘help restore the program to

what it was once was,” Higgins said.

The minor was once a strong program
with several hundred students, Higgins
said, but now there are only sixty to seventy

Paths to walk when choosing a career

Reviewing past experience,
skills and interest are important

The best place to start the pro-
cess of choosing a career is with
personal assessment. Step back
from the urgent need to know
right now, and review your past
experience of yourself. List your
past work experience, paid or
Ques volunteer; list the
Middie positive and nega-
Earth ; 3

positions: the sensé
HOOts. a cicipins eines

the paperwork; the constant
deadlines, the camaraderie with
fellow workers, the style of
supervision which brings out
your best, the kind of physical
environment in which you work
best, etc.

List your interests, from seri-
ous avocations to casual dab-
bling: natural history, literature,
science, etc. Finally list your cur-
rent talents and skills: writing,
public speaking, group organiza-
tion, computer usage, typing,
foreign language, etc. Look at
the lists, and add all of your
accomplishments that reflect a
body of skills, no matter how
unimportant they may seem. In
short, develop a real-life autobi-
ography of career interests, skills
and talents, needs, and values
that are uniquely you.

A second step in a career deci-
sion making process should be
an attempt to get in touch with

tive aspects of those

the personality variables that
relate to your career choice.
Whether or not you liked math in
high school, or got A’s in col-
lege, may or may not mean that
you should be a mathematician.
Much of what brings about suc-
cess is how well you are able to
fulfill your personality needs and
values in a given career. If your
5 are met, you'll be happier;
if you're happier, you'll give a
greater effort; the greater the
effort will usually mean greater
success.

So, including a view of your
personality needs and style is an
important part of the process.
One of the frequently used mea-
surements in this area is the
Omnibus Personality Inventory
[OBI]; there are many others.

This test discusses your char-

acteristics among various per-
sonality variables: social and
cognitive, introversion/extrover-
sion, theoretical applied thinking
styles, needs for structure or flex-
ibility desire for personal deci-
sion making authority, material
vs. spiritual needs, flexibility,
desire to have personal impact
on the lives of others, etc.

The next step could be use of
at least one of the various inter-
est measures. The Strong-
Cambell Interest Inventory
[SCII] is frequently used, It
attempts to delineate your most
dominant interests among six
general occupational themes:
artistic, social, enterprising [ver-
bal persuasion], conventional
[repetitive tasks, office prac-
tices], realistic [physical effort],
and investigative [cognitive, sci-
entific endeavor].

It also categorizes your inter-
ests from among twenty-three
basic interest scales: nature, mili-

Controversy surrounds alleged gang rape

Minors claim that 13-year old girl
agreed to having sex with them

By, YVETTE H. BLACKMAN

North Greenbush, N.Y.
(AP) Her words bear witness to a
child- growing up too quickly.
Lost is the “sugar and spice and
everything nice’ innocence of
generations gone by.

“Tom began pushing me
around to the other guys in the
room. He said that now I would
have to have sex with them.
They were pushing me around
and Verbally abusing me.”

“The guys forced: me onto the
bed and they all were touching
me all over my body, and they
were pulling at my pants, trying
to get them off.”

Those words are in a statement
given police by a 13-year old
girl who alleges she was gang
raped and sodomized by five
high school boys, the youngest
of whom is 14, All five have

been charged as adults.

The boys don’t deny having
sex with the girl, two law
enforcement sources said. The
accused insist that the girl con-
sented, authorities said.

“Tf these kids have done what
she said they did, they are seri-
ous and terrible crimes and they
should be punished for it,” said
Steven Coffey, the attorney for
14-year old Cory Frank. “If they
had intercourse with her consent
or sodomy with her consent,
that’s a different story.”

The girl’s statement to police,
which was published in local
newspapers, describes a scene of
violence and menace, not con-
sent.

“Cory then got behind me on
the bed. I was lying on my back
because they were holding me
down.”

“He grabbed my head and
placed the knife blade under my
chin by my throat. Cory said,
‘Don’t move and let them do
whatever they want.’”

Her bedroom is filled with
stuffed animals, the walls plas-
tered with posters of Marky
Mark, Vanilla Ice and other pop
idols. Taped to a wall is a list of
dozens of friends’ telephone
numbers,

It is here that the eighth grader
alleges the crimes were commit-
ted.

“She said, ‘Mommy, my
karate didn’t even help me,’” the
mother told a reporter three days
after the incident.

It started on April 15th, the
day before the alleged attack.

Two of the boys, Thomas
Moran, 15, and Frank, the girl’s

ex-boyfriend, spent that night at
her house, with the approval of
all the parents involved. They
tried to have sex with her then,
she said, but “they finally gave
up because I kept resisting.”
The following day, while her
father was at work and mother
was enrolling at an Albany busi-
ness school, the boys left the
house, only to return that after-
noon with three friends — Kristen
Cedar, 16, Michael Flick, 16.
and Christopher Ferrotti, 15. All
of the youngsters live within
miles of each other; the girl’s
home is in North Greenbush, a
community of 11,000 just across
the Hudson River from Albany.
Moran “and the others came
into my bedroom where | was
still on the phone. Tom kicked
me in the ribs with his foot. He
was wearing sneakers, and I
pushed him away. I tried to
ignore him and I told my friend
to stay on the phone. She said

she was getting scared and we
hung up the phone. All of the
guys were in my room,” the
girl’s statement said.

“Tom unplugged my phone so
that I couldn’t talk to anyone,
and Cory closed my bedroom
door. Tom then pushed the dress-
er against the door so I couldn’t
get out...One of my bedroom
windows was open and my
stereo was on very loud.”

Moran jumped out the bedroom
window and returned with a sil-
ver, six-inch butterfly knife
which he gave to Frank, the girl
said.

The boys took turns raping her,
she said, and later forced her to
perform oral sex on each of
them.

Then the boys all piled into a
car driven by Flick and sped
away.

Later that evening, the girl told
a family friend what had hap-
pened, then recounted the inci-
dent to her parents and to two
police officers. She was treated
that night at Samaritan Hospital
in Troy.

A hospital source who request-
ed anonymity said the girl has
what appears to be knife wounds
on her legs and neck.

All five boys were arrested
April 17-and charged with
first-degree rape, first-degree
sodomy and unlawful imprison-
ment, all felonies.

The boys and their parents have
deferred comment on the inci-
dent to their attorneys.

“They thought this was a
joke,” North Greenbush Police
Chief Bernhard Peter said.
“They weren’t taking the situa-
tion seriously until they were
arraigned.”

The attorneys representing the
five boys have taken issue with
the media for publicizing the

‘ identities of their clients, three of

whom are minors charged as
adults.

“Tn light of the fact that she has
voluntarily contacted the press
and, along with her mom, has
attempted to portray her story to
the press, is the press’ policy of
protecting her identity fair and
logical?” Coffey asked.

Each boy is out on $2,500 bail,
while Rensselaer County District
Attorney Mary Donohue pre-
pares to take her case before a
grand jury.

The evidence, according to
Peter, consists primarily of the
girl’s six-page statement, and
condoms and semen stains on @
bedspread.

The activities of the girl and her
parents in the days following the
teen-agers’ arrests have fur-
rowed many brows.

The girl and her mother granted
interviews to local and national
print media, even allowing
access to the bedroom where the
alleged rape took place.

“If that were my daughter, nO
way was I letting her talk to
reporters, let alone let them into
my house,” a law enforcement
source involved in the case said.

The girl’s mother defended the
interviews as therapeutic.

Woman could be top gun in armed forces
Defense secretary may sign to allow females to fly in combat

(AP) Female pilots could be fly-
ing Navy and Air Force war-
planes within months and Army
combat helicopters within a year
under a new directive set to be
signed this week by Defense
Secretary Les Aspin, Pentagon
Officials say.

The directive also will tell the
Army, Navy, Air Force and
Marine Corps to provide justifi-
cation if they want to put any
battlefield role, including ground
combat units, off limits to
women.

“It’s big, it’s a very big move
for Aspin to be making,” said
one senior official, who like the
others spoke Tuesday night only
on condition of anonymity.

White House spokeswoman
Dee Dee Myers did not confirm
the report today, but said Clinton
supports allowing women in
combat.

“T would point out that it is
something the President did sup-
port during the campaign,” she
said.

The action means Air Force
and Navy women could be in
fighter cockpits within months,
but female pilots in the Army
will have to undergo special
training before flying front-line
Apache attack helicopters, offi-
cials said.

Because the Marines have no
women in training in any avia-
tion unit, changes will take

longer in that service.

The law banning women from
warships prevents them from
serving on an array of vessels
ranging from small frigates to
aircraft carriers.

The New York Times pub-
lished the first account of
Aspin’s plan in its editions today
and the report subsequently was

+ Fast 386 SX

* 2 MB RAM

* Mono VGA Monitor

* 40 MB Hard Disk
(80 with DOS 6.0)

confirmed by Defense
Department officials.

Aspin’s directive is clearly
designed to upgrade the status of
women in the military. It comes
at a time when the Navy has suf-
fered a black eye resulting from
a 1991 convention of the
Tailhook Association, a private
group of pilots and other sup-

porters of carrier—based aviation.

The Defense Department
issued a report last week saying
as many as 175 officers could
face disciplinary action as a
result of the three-day meeting
in a Las Vegas hotel in which 23
women were assaulted.

Even before Aspin’s plan
became known, Adm, Frank

Kelso Jr., Chief of Naval
Operations, had been preparing
to create more postings for
women on combat support ships.
And Aspin himself had taken
note of the Navy’s move,
expressing concern to reporters
that the services should be syn-
chronized in making greater

Final

Another wonderful semester has ended at SUNY
Albany; with beautiful weather, great activities, and
more*tacial harmony then when Ghandi and Martin
Luther King Jr. did lunch.

While many SUNYA students now prepare
vigorously for finals, seniors are definitely working
the hardest. Seniors are ready to take on the world
after graduation — most have important jobs or
graduate school waiting; these folks care unreservedly
about finals and they are going to work (at 7-11) this
summer,

Strangely, seniors do not see Senior Week as one
huge party because it has an awesome climax. Though
the Class of 1993 has put together some wonderful
activities, nothing.compares to the Graduation
Weekend the University has put together. Besides a
wonderful and intimate graduation ceremony, where
everyone is recognized individually, the school has
planned a cornucopia of activities that no one would
dare miss.

Most of these people are truly sorry to leave
SUNYA — with the wonderful food, the non-alcohol
based nightlife and always responsible landlords.

This tops off a year that has been a rare one for
SUNYA. The Student Association proved its ability to
competently manage elections and referendums by
having...seven of them. ASUBA showed its taste in
fashion by moving against certain gaudy tastes and the
Administration finally cracked the earth on the
Campus Center extension. Hopefully, someone will
see fit to “offer” Ranger Danger a gangland
“apartment” in-the extension, maybe it will be finished
faster then the RACC. In sports, SUNYA once again
burned up the record books — football turned in a bone
crunching ‘season, reportedly most of the “Great
Danes”! survived and will again grace’the field next
fall.

The Violence Of Summer

On May 16, 1993, the best and the brightest students at
our University will take their place along side the
distinguished alumni of our remarkable public educational
institution. The graduates from all undergraduate,
graduate, and doctoral programs will march into the
Knickerbocker Arena triumphant, carrying forth the
knowledge and wisdom that our University has bestowed
upon them. Students, parents, the administration, and
assorted relatives gathering together, will think of this
warm Albany day in May as a point of transition, a
platform that can only lead to greatness.

Daniel Collender

As a student at this University, I can only wish our
graduates the best of luck, and hope they fulfill their
dreams, whatever they may be. Unfortunately, the world
in which they will enter is not what it may appear to be.
The society we find ourselves living, working and
growing in, is quickly deteriorating, leaving little
opportunity for the new graduates.

When we came to this University as freshman, we were
young, semi-innocent, anxious, and willing to learn
something new. Free from the confines of living at home,
we took advantage of our new living space. Hey, Albany
was not the most active town in New York State, but
compared to some other towns it had an active bar scene,
lots of bands, and was within distance of several
recreational activities. On top of
that, the academic quality of the
University was not that bad. I know
it was number eight in some obscure
ranking of public universities. When
you are living in Albany, no matter
where you may be from (even New
Jersey), the rest of the world seems
very far off. Events that may change
the: world overnight, seem remote
and not as important to your immediate student lifestyle.
The weekly specials at W.T.’s or the weekend fraternity
social have a great deal more appeal then some political
issue or social concern. Even to the very active, and very
curious, the state of local politics holds little interest for
many students. This alienation is nothing unique to our
student body, but does say something about the
significance of our existence and our desire to learn as
much as we really can.

Student groups on our campus have tried and continue
to stir up emotional debate about a variety of issues.
ASUBA works to educate students about the economic,
political and cultural state of African-Americans; Fuerza
Latina works to inform students concerning issues facing
the Latino community; the Jewish Student Coalition does
the same important work with regards to the Jewish
population on campus, and so on. These groups and others
are here to teach us what we continue to fail to learn.
These groups understand that the informed student will
make rational decisions. Unfortunately, as the graduating
class must realize by now, these groups with the Student
Association by their side, have failed our community.

Year after year, the Albany Student Press has followed
the issues that concern us all. As Communism fell, SUNY
tuition rose, and our national leadership changed political
parties, the Albany Student Press has fulfilled its
responsibility as the campus information source to its

“The SUNY graduating
class of 1993 provide
the rest of us with the
hope that things can
get better.”

readership. The students who help put this paper together,
many of them graduates this year, dedicate their time and
effort, for very little financial reward, to produce our
product. Week after week we watch as the students of our
University tear each other apart at forums, group
meetings, in podium postings, and in the pages of this
newspaper. The staff of this paper works tirelessly to
bring the student body together, to no avail. Nothing
changes. The same issues are dealt with time and time
again, by the same four or five groups, with little or no
progress. The Student Association funds these groups,
with a pathetic attempt at oversight, prolonging the
debate, and tolerating the same racist, sexist and
polarizing behavior that many of these groups fight to
bring to an end. The only positive aspect being the
cohesive force that the Albany Student Press provides and
fosters to keep our community united. As the graduates of
our University know, our school is a microcosm of our
greater society. If we can not bring people together on a
campus of 16,000, what hope is there for an planet of five
billion? What hope is there for our graduates who have
worked to reach the pinnacle of academic success only to
be rewarded by a miserable life experience?

Each day we read the papers, watch CNN, and listen to
our professors lecture us about what will come tomorrow.
The Rodney King verdict, the continued severe (because
of its subtle qualities) oppression of minorities in our
nation, the Balkan disaster, the Palestinian dilemma, and
our county’s failing economy,
leave little hope for our
future. What kind of world
will our graduates live in,
where they can’t drink the
water, they can’t breathe the
air, and they are constantly
being watched by some
police force dictating our
moral values? With all of the
despair in our world, certainly
there is room for optimism. The SUNYA graduating class
of 1993 provide the rest of us with the hope that things
can only get better. ‘

Many summer seasons are known for their heat, theit
uprisings, their discontent, and most of all their violence.
As humans, we accept the fact that we sometimes act
belligerently, like animals defending their young, in the
name of some greater good, Other times we act violently
for reasons that are not exactly obvious, though they may
become later. As Americans, we have a history of violent
summers, violent acts, and attitudes. This summer will
probably be no different than others. *

The violence will continue in the Balkans, in Palestine,
in South Africa, in the former Soviet Republics, in Tibet,
in the arms of America, and countless other regions.
Human beings torn apart by “artificial divisions” that
obscure the truth behind who we are, continue to divide
us, and will eventually destroy many of us. It is 0UF
mission as graduates of SUNY Albany to conquer the
hatred that is within all of us. As: graduates of this
University we cannot measure our success in the world 09
Our acceptance into law school, our starting salaries. OF
our value to ourselves, We must measure our success 07
the ways in which we learn to live together, improving he
quality of our lives, and the lives of countless millions.

America Number One

To the Editor:

Lately I have been hearing that our country — The
United States — will never be able to regain its economic
strength and that Japan will be the dominant economic
super—power of the 21st Century. I am SHOCKED to
hear Americans say this. Let’s consider the alternatives.
Japan historically has behaved in two ways, as an
isolationist or as a leading power.

If Japan takes the isolationist road, then Japan, with its
well-known commercially industrial institutions, will be
closed to the rest of the world. Since Japan now is the
dominating world economic power, and the United States
is now flabbering in economic strength, there will be no
dominating world power if Japan takes this route. That is,
no pax. In the 19th Century the British were the
dominating power, via Pax Britannica, America in this
century, via Pax Americana. Historically in the absence
of a dominant world power, the world has only seen
stagnant or declining economic growth and possibly
instability, chaos or war. Consider the first half of this
century, two world wars separated by a Great
Depression. The second half of this century under Pax
Americana was shaped by relative peace and prosperity.
If Japan refuses to lead as a world power, then that
burden falls on the United States.

If Japan takes the road to lead, the world would be
radically different. Under Pax Nipponica, individual
freedoms would be sacrificed for the group under a

hierarchical political system that seeks to benefit strong
industry and cutting-edge technology. A system that
works well in a homogeneous culture but breaks down in
a multiethnic society — such as in America. Also twice in
this century, Continental Europe has rejected Germany’s
attempt at hegemonic control. Also earlier in this
century, Asia and America rejected Japan’s attempt at
dominance and control. One should note Japan’s
historical values, but it is not clear that the industrialized
world will. Least of all, America.

Does it really matter whose fault it is? Japan’s or
America’s? Stop right now and ask yourself this; “Are
you right now prepared to face America’s future as a
second-rate economic power?” Let’s stop blaming Japan
and stop blaming the United States, it's time to start
rebuilding ourselves.

America does not have to fall, like all the great powers
before us — England, Spain, Italy, Egypt. Americans can
change to meet this challenge, for I have often been told
that the history of America is about ordinary people
striving to achieve extraordinary things. What is wrong
with this extraordinary thing? To be the number ONE
economic power. Do we want to learn from history or go
into that history trend?

And if we can’t? Then the doomsayers of America will
have their day and America will have given Japan the
right to be the preeminent power by default. It is a
question of leadership and will. For us Americans, do we
have a choice?

What is highly ironic out of all of this is that Sezaburo
Sato, foreign policy advisor to former Prime Minister
Nkasone, said the following recently: “The 20th Century
was the American Century, I think the 21st Century will
be the American Century, too.”

Fight the Fascists

To the Editor:

Upon reading Marc Caroul’s column in Tuesday’s
ASP, I was first amused, then amazed, then very angry. I
walked up to the ASP office demanding to know who
could be responsible for such an example of ignorance,
intolerance, and bad journalism. My apologies to the
staff whom I berated; they had nothing to do with it. I
now know that it is Daniel Collender who chose Caroul’s
tirade for printing; I hope he will be fair enough to print
this response.

Caroul’s column does not belong in a newspaper.
Arrogant enough to call his opinions “truth,” he ought to
have provided some factual substantiation for them.
Instead he jumped from one topic to another, linking
animal rights activists with those in the pro-choice
movement, Marxists with hippies, and otherwise
generalizing about anyone left of center. Distorting,
quoting out of context, and simply misrepresenting
liberals, Caroul doesn’t give an iota of evidence for any
of his invective. Half the column is a critique of a single
book, “Feminism Without Women.” No intelligent
student could possibly believe one book stands for the
views of all liberals.

Let me make it clear that I do not consider myself a
liberal. I, too, have become so disillusioned with the
American left that I shun such a label. But no screaming
“animal liberator,” and no complacent hippie has ever
caused me to feel the disgust and contempt I feel for
Caroul. “The 90’s are not the 60's,” he so brilliantly
deduces. This concept has come into fashion with
conservatives of late, as if the end of a decade of
activism signals the permanent end of all future activism.
No one wants to revive the sixties — that would undo the
lessons of the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War,
and the other dramatic social and political changes that
were accomplished. What activists, and liberals, want
from the 90’s is to build on those changes. But in
Caroul’s world, all is fine and dandy. Except for the evils
of liberalism.

Just what Caroul hates about leftists is never made
clear. He seems to have no faith in his own ability to
present a logical argument, so he resorts to cheap jokes
and demagoguery. He also resorts to unsubstantiated
statements. For example, that all feminists want to
castrate men. Is: Caroul aware that women earn only a
fraction of the male income, though they account for just
over half the world’s population? Does he know that one
in four women will be raped? These are the concerns of
feminists, and ought to be the concerns of all dutiful
Americans, as Caroul espouses to be. Caroul wonders
why liberals are “worked up about Catholics.” Certainly
this is partly due to the Vatican’s refusal to recognize a
woman’s control of her body, without interference by

faceless bureaucrats and judges. Perhaps liberals attack
Catholicism more than Islam because Christianity is the
world’s most popular religion, and Catholicism the most
popular form. The Catholic Church is the second largest
landowner in the United States, behind the U!S.
Government. Granted, all Western religion is misogynist
—all their Gods are men. However, the Vatican deserves
special attention due to its extremely powerful status. Is
Caroul unaware of this, or does he simply ignore:it?

I hesitate to do this, but Caroul’s pro-life rhetoric
makes it necessary. If you can’t trust.a woman with a
choice, how will you trust her with a child? If abortion is
murder, then by forcing women to carry to'term, society
is allowing one who contemplated murder to raise a
child. All women who are prevented by-law from
aborting their pregnancies will be mothers, unless their
children are‘taken from them..Will Mare Caroul be
around to babysit while these mothers go to work to feed
their families? Or are these women to stay home and
cook all day while Marc holds down two jobs?

Jumping from subject to subject does not fit my writing
style, but since I am responding to Caroul’s disorganized
diatribe, I must sacrifice some continuity. Very few
people, right wing or left, supported the violence and
destruction that residents of South Central Los Angeles
wreaked on their own community. However, those of us
who are aware of the realities of racism, class struggle,
and inner-city gentrification do realize that the riots were
a symptom of deeper problems. No one with any sense of
justice can acquit the rioters and looters of responsibility,
nor can we vindicate the police, the government, or
society at large. Throwing blame is a problem on both
sides of the political spectrum.

Caroul continued to spout ridiculous claims throughout
the article. For example, he insists that distributing
condoms to thirteen—year olds has increased teen
pregnancy. However, he failed to cite any program which
distributes condoms to people that young (and there is
none that I have heard of), and he did not cite any: study
which made any claim..He also wrote that abortions lead
to child abuse, and again failed to provide factual
evidence. Yet he called liberalism a hoax!:, Caroul needs
to educate himself via a’ source besides the hateful,
ignorant Rush Limbaugh. Meanwhile, I trust Albany
students are smart enough to recognize a fascist when
they see one, and Caroul’s column will only give
conservatives a bad name. pee!

Prejudice In The’ Park

To the Editor: Bey |

As a recent graduate of the University ‘at Nee
looked forward to Party in the Park with great
anticipation. It was a day to celebrate with friends and
strangers alike and to share in an Albany tradition. I'am
sad to say though, the day ended on a disconcerting note.
For those of you who rode bus 206, the 6:00 departure
from Party in the Park, I am sure you would agree. For
the rest of you, I'll explain. There were three or four boys
(that’s right, I'said boys, though all wore arm bands
indicating they were at least 21!) seated in the back ofithe
bus making a drunken nuisance of themselves. The Test
of us just shook our heads., The situation, however,
became intolerable when the Profanity and Joking turned
to comments that were vicious and degrading to others.
For the next fifteen minutes these boys Subjected.the rest
of us to comments that were anti-Semitic, racist and
sexist. The boys were asked several times to stop and
refused. Finally, one young MAN stood up, and declared
that he had had enough — he was sick and tired of
listening to their garbage! Then another young MAN
stood up to back the first, shouting at the boys to stop
their hateful comments. Others also raised their voices in
support of these two MEN. The boys, perhaps fearful of
the angry bus passengers, insisted they were only joking,
and were silent. sh

I am disheartened and sickened to see that such
ignorance still exists among “educated” people. As: for
their apology, I for one do not accept it. You can
apologize for profanity. You cannot apologize for
anti-Semitism, racism and sexism. The words “nigger”
and “JAP-whore” are not joking words. Certainly, no
one on bus 206, other than the offenders, were laughing.
At one point, a friend had sarcastically remarked to me,
“Nice to know they got something out of their
education!” Well, for all you boys out there, there are a
few weeks left until Albany’s 149th commencement. See
if you can find a clue. The rest of the world may not be
governed by the Principals of a Just Community as the

University at Albany is, but, be warned — fewer and
fewer people are going to tolerate your ignorance!

If college is a microcosm of the real world, it is
comforting to know that the majority of Albany students
are offended by such displays of ignorance and hatred
and that they are willing to take a stand against it. So, to
the MEN and WOMEN of bus 206, I extend my
admiration. You are the men and women who make me
proud to call Albany my Alma Mater.

Whites Must Respect

To the Editor:

I'm writing this letter in response to Miss Fitzpatrick’s
letter to the editor (Fri, April 23). Her letter was written
in regards to the controversy over White sorority and
fraternity members wearing T-shirts with lyrics from the
rap group Digable Planets written on them. The sorority
and fraternity members that called themselves the Black
team, wore shirts that read, “Hip like dat. Cool like dat.
Black like dat.” Miss Fitzpatrick, like many White
students on this campus, does not understand why
African-American students found these T-shirts to be
highly offensive. So instead of trying to find out the
reason(s), she wrote an incredibly ignorant letter that just
added “fuel to the fire.” Well, I would like to try to
explain to Miss Fitzpatrick and all the other students that
don’t understand, why I, as an African-American female,
was offended by those T-shirts. African-American
people have a rich and complex background. Our race,
the BLACK race, had to overcome several injustices to
be where we are today. And though we’ve come a long
way in our pursuit for equality in a White-dominated
society, your letter proves that we have a long way to go
in our struggle to completely terminate racism. In the rap
song, by Digable Planets, when the female rapper states,
“I’m BLACK like THAT,” she is not referring to the
complexion of her skin, or the COLOR of the SHIRT she
was wearing that day. She is referring to her nationality.
She is a woman of African descent, and the word
BLACK in the lyrics of this song refers to the name of
our race — the BLACK RACE. Therefore, it was
absolutely wrong for the White fraternity to call their
team the Black team for that matter! Call them the red,
white or blue team, but not Black because the simple fact
is — you are NOT! In her letter, Miss Fitzpatrick also
questioned if it is okay for other races to listen to
African-American music and share other aspects of the
culture. She also suggested that if we could all learn to
appreciate and to incorporate each other's cultures into
our lives, “instead of keeping them separate... we could
achieve some of the ideals of this country.” Personally, I
have no problem with other races enjoying and sharing
certain aspects of my culture. We should all be able to
enjoy the music, art, and theatre of different cultures.
However, certain aspects of the African culture (African
fashions, history, etc.) are not and aren’t meant to be
understood by: or shared with non—African—American
people. I am, by no means, advocating the separation of
races. I just firmly believe that only an
African-American person can fully understand and
appreciate the plight of our people. And as long as
people, like Miss Fitzpatrick, continue to practice
ignorance by not just trying to understand why even an
incident like this can offend African-American students,
there will never be an end to racism on this campus or in
this country. I’m not asking that you agree with me, just
that you try to understand and respect my viewpoint.

To Each Their Own

To the Editor:

I would like to address Edward Lieb’s recent letter
regarding Greek life here at the University at Albany.
Firstly, I would like to say that I understand your distress
over the Greek letters that seem to engulf desks all over
this campus. However, it is simply a way to convey the
pride that people have in their individual organization.
Perhaps in the last four-years that you’ve been attending
our University you have found yourself in a class with a
professor whose lectures are so incredibly boring that it
makes televised fishing look like a contact sport. In the
midst of your cinematic daydreams you find yourself — I
believe you used the term scribbling — something of

interest that is ripping through
your mature brain (as opposed
to the juvenile minds of those
who are exhibiting their pride
with a little artwork — again
using your vocabulary). Then
again, perhaps not.

Secondly, who are you to
decide what format an
organization should pursue in
its charitable endeavors. The
mere fact that you find events
such as see-sawing and
television marathons in front of
the Campus Center annoying
supports the reason these and
other events are held there — to
gain your attention. I am sure
that you do not oppose the use

[VE THOUGHT ABouT iT”
POR 24+ HOURS

of a lectern placed in front of

the small fountain by various

groups so that they might gain attention and thereby
convey their message to a larger audience. Then again,
perhaps you also find this annoying? Please do not
discredit an admirable activity because you would not do
it yourself or because you are anti-Greek and therefore
all Greek activities are pure evil.

Finally, it seems only fitting that you would see
fraternities and sororities as conformist and lacking
individuality. What makes you think that because a group
of individuals have many of the same interests they are
conformists? Greek organizations are as different
internally as you believe yourself to be from them. Each
fraternity and sorority stands for different ideals and
values. They each offer something unique. Some
organizations have some commonality among them
while others are remarkably different. To each their own.

A Question of Speech

To the Editor:

I am so enraged that I don’t know where to begin.
Perhaps there should be a poll conducted on this campus
in order to determine who is ‘more pathetic: the LF.C. or
ASUBA? I have chosen to begin with the I.F.C.
although, I do not intend to imply that I am privileging
the LE.C. over ASUBA by creating any sort of hierarchy
represented in the order in which I wish to discuss both
groups.

I dislike fraternities and sororities as much as the next
student on this campus. I have a problem with any group
that imposes restrictions on the numbers of individuals
(and I use the term individuals loosely) in a social
context. I have always believed in the old cliche: “The
more, the merrier.” But it’s their rules and if you want to
participate that’s your choice. I’m okay with that.
However, what I'am not okay with is the LF.C.’s reaction
to ASUBA’s protest over the black Greek Week T-shirt.
How can the LF.C. possibly decide not to use the color
black because a group claims to have a monopoly over
that color. Don’t they have an argument or do they just
lay down and apologize for not doing anything wrong?
Oh, and in the future, the LF.C. had better not use red,
white or yellow either. And by the way, maybe they
should eliminate colors altogether in order to not offend
anyone who is blind. Being that I’m on the topic, does
the ASP print in brail? Oh, perhaps I should use the term
“pressed” considering the nature of brail type (can you
see the insanity?). That’s my beef with the LF.C. I think
that their reaction was spineless. Now onto ASUBA.

From what I understand, ASUBA’s problems are that
Greek Week should not involve a team known as the
“black team” because ASUBA is the Albany State
University Black Alliance and/or they disapprove of the
use of the phrase “black like dat.” If the former is the
case, then I have already addressed the issue of any
group claiming to corner the market on the use of a color.
If the former is not the case, then I apologize for
misreading the situation. If the latter is the case then I
must assume that: (a) The use of the phrase is being
protested because it is cited from a group that is made up
of black members (Digable Planets a very cool group) or
(b) The use of the phrase is under protest because the use
of such language perpetuates any negative connotations
associated with the users of such language (in this case,
street talk is usually associated with the black
community).

In this case, if the former is the argument, then 1 am

appalled that anyone who has any respect for civil rights
and the freedom of speech can make such an argument.
Never mind one of the most celebrated themes of the
nineties is the attempt to understand the many different
persons who make up our social community. How can
we achieve any understanding if we do not permit each
other to engage in cross—cultural experiences such as
listening to music?

Tf the latter is the argument, and ASUBA is offended
because they disapprove of the use of street language,
because people may misinterpret and misread those users
of the language, then ASUBA had better be consistent
and start protesting such artists as House of Pain, Snow,
and yes, even Digable Planets. Let’s face it; if the
language is dangerous then no one should use it. But hey,
if we stop using street language and slang, then aren’t we
giving in to an elitist and conservative ideology? Maybe
we should vote for Pat Buchanan.

Basically, the F.C. is spineless and ASUBA is way
too uptight, Aren’t there real issues such as the
marginalization of black leaders and the disproportionate
representation of the black community in upper—-income
positions? Or maybe we can discuss the inability for
different groups on this campus to share the same space
at the same time. It’s time people on this campus stopped
being petty. I often find myself in agreement with the
issues raised by the black community and agree that it is
an outrage how certain aspects of the black community
have been commodified and thus cheapened. But this is
ridiculous.

Greeks Stand Proud

To the Editor:

Once again, the ASP has printed a letter by a
non-Greek student putting down the Greek system. An
outsider, commenting on a system of which he knows
nothing about. SUNY Greeks happen to contribute more
to this campus, this community, and to local and national
philanthropic organizations than any other group on
campus. Those of you who don’t know us think we’re all
about partying and causing destruction, like you have
seen in such movies as Animal House. I can’t deny that
we like to have fun — excuse us, but we were always told
that college is Supposed to be the best four years of our
lives. But, that is not what SUNY Greeks are all about.
We care about this school and the community in which
we live. On campus, we have helped move in the
freshmen, helped to repair broken windows and doors,
paint walls, and have sponsored seminars on date rape,
alcohol awareness, and sexually transmitted diseases,
We've donated thousands of dollars to such
organizations as the American Cancer Society, the
Arthritis Foundation, Toys for Tots, and Heal Appeal,
just to name a few. What I have mentioned is just the tip
of the iceberg as to what we have contributed to this
community. What other group on campus can boast of
such contributions? I’ve read the ASP every week and
I'm tired of hearing the Greek system, which I pride
myself of being part of, constantly being slandered by
non-Greeks who don’t have a clue as to what we’re
about.

One of Eyhtina’s priorities
would have been to call attention
to police brutality in the area, a
problem which Clemente also
said is. “not only affecting blacks
and Latinos, but whites and oth-
ers also.”

After an aborted attempt to
suspend S.A, policy requiring
the two thirds margin of victory
in favor of a simple majority,
which would have clinched it for
Klossner, it looked like a reprise
of Goldberg and Ali was under-
way.

But then the tide suddenly
changed in Klossner’s favor in
the eighth round, First Marcelle
Aparo of Alumni Quad darted
out of the room for unknown
reasons. And while she was
absent, Council hastily called for
another vote.

Aparo still absent, an unknown
Eyhtina backer surprisingly
switched support and voted for
Klossner, giving him the win.

“Oh, you noticed that too,
huh?” said Ali of the bizarre fin-
ish, Ali wouldn’t say whether he
thought it was a coincidence or

Orchard Park, N.Y.
(AP) “Terrorists” took over the home of
the Buffalo Bills on Thursday in a mock
hostage drama played out by the FBI and
police handling security at this summer’s
World University Games.

The event — the world’s second-largest
athletic competition after the Summer
Olympics — could be a prime target for
terrorism, authorities said.

In the scenario Thursday, four FBI
employees posing as terrorists took about
a dozen people hostage in the press box
at Rich Stadium.

FBI agents and about 75 swat team
members practiced hostage negotiations
and mock assaults to free them.

“Could something like this happen?
Yes, it could,” said Sal Valvo, who is in
charge of security for the event.

“A terrorist group may want to stage
an international event or an international
forum to espouse their views.”

Thomas Coyle, who heads the FBI
office in Buffalo, said federal authorities
have had no indications that terrorist
groups might be plotting violence at the
games.

Coyle said any _ international
Olympic-style event is a potential target
for terrorism.

In 1972, Arab terrorists killed 11
Israeli athletes at the Summer Olympics
in Munich.

About 7,000 athletes and officials from
114 countries are expected to attend the
games, which will be held July 8 to 18 at

Bills are terrorized
just for the fun of it

sites around Buffalo and southern
Ontario.

It will be the first time the games, held
every two years, will take place in the
United States.

The U.S.-Canadian border will compli-
cate security, authorities said. Games
organizers are working out plans with
U.S. and Canadian customs officials to
allow athletes to move back and forth
across the border.

Law enforcement officials are devel-
oping tactics to handle potential terror-
ism or other security problems at 42 sites
where games events will be held.

Authorities said they are preparing for
anything from rowdy spectators to an all-
out attack by terrorists at a crowded sta-
dium.

“Can you simulate 80,000 people in
Rich Stadium? No, but the fundamental
tactics are the same whether there’s one
person involved or 50,000,” said FBI
spokesman Paul Moskal.

The opening ceremonies for the games
will be held at Rich Stadium, but no ath-
letic events are planned there.

Sites for the events include a stadium
at the University of Buffalo that seats
15,000. Valvo said spectators will be
checked with metal detectors and X-ray
equipment to prevent anyone from smug-
gling weapons into the games sites.

New York has assigned 366 state
police officers to provide security for the
games. Counting local police, there will
be 900 officers patrolling games sites
every day, Valvo said.

A Final Word...

I asked for this space in the newspaper because I am extremely egocentric and
have busted my ass as Business Manager of the ASP for the last year. Therefore I
thought I deserved it. I have now sat in front of this computer for five hours trying to
decide what to write and realize I really do not have a clue. However, I have a space
with my name on it and if it is not filled in half an hour, the shit will hit the fan. SoT
figured that what I would do is say what I have to and ask some other people at the
ASP to write something in order to fill this space. I hope it turns out all right. I am
graduating in two weeks and after spending four years at this University, I have been
stressing out about what I will do next year and what it will be like. Even though I
came to Albany because it was cheap and the only place that accepted me, I_have
grown to like it, Probably the best experience I had was working at the ASP. When I
first came to work here I thought it would be like any other job. I needed money and
the fact that it is located right on campus made it convenient. After a while though,
Ifound that being here became addictive. I started spending more time in the office
and just hanging out with the rest of the staff. Eventually I found that everyone here
was more than a co-worker. We all became a kind of family, as corny as that may
sound. Because putting out an issue twice a week is a shitload of work we all spend
the better part of our days and nights here, so inevitably we all started hanging out
and I have made some of my best friendships here. After a year as Business Manager, I
have had to deal with a lot of shit. Like any other organization, we have our internal
problems, yet despite all the conflicts we always pulled together and managed to put
out the best issue we could. Working here was the best decision I ever made, and I find
that it is harder to leave than I thought it would be. I want to wish everyone who is
staying next year the best of luck. Though I cannot mention everyone, I would like to
thank Pat, Joe, Kevin, Leanne, Pam, and Tom and all the other editors, managers, and
associates who made my time here worthwhile. In addition, thanks to Rita Levine,
Director of Operations at SA for all her help, and Corey Anthony, SA Controller for all
his help and not so timely payments. All the other people I wish to say something to
can find their names in the classified section. Good bye to SUNY Albany, the ASP, Phi
Alpha Delta and everyone else. I will miss you all. Good luck to the class of 1993.

Jason said I have to fill space, so here goes. Actually, I had a remarkable revelation
tonight that I would not mind sharing with people. I was talking to Red, _who is one
of the Campus Center's late night cleaning crew members. I’ve known him for a few
years now, and he is always eager to talk whenever our paths cross. Tonight he was
particularly talkative, and might I add insightful. We spoke about the power of the
human mind, arid the control we have over our bodies. Red said he can tell himself to
do something and his body obeys. He’s trained himself to wake up in the morning. I
think he could explain the process better than I could, and if you're interested stop by
the Campus Center and ask for him. Anyway, what affected me was not so much
what Red was saying, but rather the fact that HE was saying it, at five o'clock in
the morning, on the third floor of the Campus Center. My revelation: you can learn
the most amazing things, at the most ynlikely times, from the most interesting people.

Dream of the future. Remember the past. But always live for the present. Humor
goes a long way but there is always a need for seriousness. We are the future and we

have to remember that. I’m not saying that we should always give in to stuffy rules or
boring riggamarole, but what I am saying is that we are responsible for ourselves
and our society. Always search deep inside (yes it sounds corny but I’ve always found
it to be the truth) to do what's right. Now that I’m done preaching all I want to say is

have a great summer and party (just don't kill anyone), 77 <= ——e

I never knew how much there is to learn outside the classroom. In fact, | now
know the most important knowledge one can gain is the . knowledge one gets not
from a book, but from living. It's the kind of knowledge you can’t find at a bar or at
the mall. We all need something that can teach us, and people we can learn from.
That's the most important part of being in school. If one isn’t willing to grow
here, then the whole experience is a waste. I don’t know how many_ people will
agree with me, but if it encourages one person to go out and do something he or

she believes in, then that’s all I wanted to do.

Just when I thought Ihad written my last column, I find myself with one more
space to fill. Just when I thought the sleepless production nights were over, I'm at
the ASP late at night one last time. That's the thing about this place. You never get it
out of your system. You are always a part of it, just as it is always a part of you.
Never did I believe that I'd be in the position that I’m in today. My, have the years
gone fast. So best wishes to my fellow members of the graduating class of 1993, and all
the friends I will be leaving behind here at SUNYA. Nas

It is now 6 am on Friday, April 30. Ihave not slept since 1 pm on Wednesday, April
28. This means that I have not had any sleep in the past 41 hours. This is a very odd
feeling. Earlier today-oh, God, I mean Thursday morning--it wasn't so bad. It sort of
felt like being stoned (not that I would know what that feels like). At times, especial-
ly later on that night, I could swear that I was in another dimension. Like, 1 was
there, but not there. I have been from daze to reality, and then back into another daze.
Right now Iam in one of a dwindling number of periods of lucidity, but I fear it's fad-
ing fast. They say that if you don't sleep for long enough, you begin to hallucinate. I
don't know if I believe that. Anyway, I'd better get some sle-- oh no! A giant snail is
sliding across the room. It's coming at me! I have to get out of here. I have to get~

AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! ey

Now this is pressure. 1 have been under stress before but when the Business
Manager sits you down in front of a computer and says "WRITE!" what do you do?
Well, let's see...the ASP. I can't even say in words how much this place means to me.
Never before have I felt so strongly for something I can't understand. I defend it to no
end and probably will defend it until I die. What bothers me the most is that no one
can fully understand the amount of dedication and passion that encompasses these
three little rooms. Amidst all of the tension and frustration, is a place where anyone
in the world can go to feel like they belong. Who knew that the shy little girl that
walked through these doors over a year-ago would turn into a determined journalist
ready to take on the world. I have made friends here that will be a part of me for the

rest of wig rdless of where we all end up. No one will ever be able to compre-

thanking all of the people who have made
my job enjoyable. First and foremost is
our renowned managing editor Patrick
Cullen. Pat has served as my mentor and
his help has been critical in putting out a
good section. Many times I would have
been sunk without his advice and guid-
ance and I am forever in his debt. Next is
Eric my trusted associate and my right
arm. Your help especially when I was
sick was much appreciated and I hope
that you enjoy being editor as much as I
have. In the last ASPects I was named as
Rob’s number one fan. Well Mr. Tiger
you may be a Ranger fan, but you know
sports and your advice and columns were
welcome and appreciated.

I can not make this list complete with-
out talking about Tom Murnane. This
man is a truly remarkable person who
provided the inspiration for me to take
this job. Your wit and good humor as
well as your ideas were always welcome
and almost always appreciated. And last
but not least I would like to thank our
esteemed EIC Joe Faughnan who provid-
ed support and encouragement when the
going got tough.

As for the rest of the staff and my writ-

ers(what writers?) I say thanks. To all of
the typists who have slaved reading my
horrible handwriting I extend my thanks.

Most of all I wish to thank my beautiful
girlfriend Maria who has been there
through the tough times and whom I love
more then anything. I wish we had found
each other sooner, but now we are togeth-
er and will be for a long time to come.

I hope that I have done a good job
bringing Albany sports to you and bid
you a fond adieu.

both August and Liu scored within min-

Unfortunately, Liu’s enthusiasm and
effort got the best of her as she received a
yellow card, a red card, and then was
thrown out of the game. Mescallado was
able to earn one more goal for Albany in
the last 23 seconds.

Finerghty said although the game went
downhill from there, the team played
pretty well and ran hard.

Cortland is a top team and at one point
was ranked 13th nationwide.

school and collegiate wrestling programs.
Greco-Roman wrestling differs from
freestyle in that Greco-Roman does not
allow a wrestler to use his legs for either
attack or defense. Prior to the Soviet
boycott of the 1984 Olympics, no
American wrestler had ever won a gold
medal in Greco-Roman wrestling.
Previous to his 1984 victory, Blatnick
made the 1980 Olympic team, but was
unable to compete because of President
Carter’s boycott of the Summer
Olympics.

Addelston leads men’s
tennis over Union, 7-2

By Epwi FontTANILLA
Staff Writer

The Albany men’s tennis team’s
attempt to finish up the season strongly is
only meeting moderate success.

On April 26th, the team beat Union
College at home, 7-2.

The first doubles team of juniors Matt
Presser and Steve Cohen destroyed their
oppenents, eight games to one in pro-sets.
Senior Adam Addelston and junior John
Rudnick edged out their oppostion ten
games to eight. Sophomore Paul Garnock
and freshman Ken Blume then lost to
Union’s Evan Hyman and Andy Schwartz
eight games to four.

In singles, Addelston saw time in the
top spot and defeated his opponent in two
sets, 6-0, 6-3. Presser also beat his oppo-
nent in two sets, 6-2, 6-2.

Cohen, playing in the number three
postion, had a tougher time and lost to
Union’s Schwartz, 7-6, 7-6.

Rudnick managed to defeat his oppo-
nent in two sets, 6-4, 6-4. Garnock and
Blume, playing in the fifth and sixth spots
respectively, both beat their adversaries in
two sets, 6-1, 6-1.

The team then hosted Williams College
on Wednesday. Williams beat Albany,
8-1.

“The team didn’t play well today
because it seemed that they were intimi-
dated,” said Albany coach Bob Lewis.
Williams is ranked 14th in the country.

Playing again in the number one spot
against was Addelston. He came against

Dennis Geronimus, who is ranked seventh
in the country. Geronimus beat Addelston
in two sets, 6-2, 6-0.

Presser was also defeated by a national-
ly ranked opponent in two sets. The score
was 6-2, 6-1.

Cohen went down fighting in the first
set when he lost seven games to six in a
tie-breaker. However, he proceeded to
lose the second set six games to two.

Rudnick was defeated in the first set,
6-1. He fared a little better in the second
set but still lost, 6-4.

It took three sets for Williams’ Eric
Roiter to defeat Garnock. The first set
went to Roiter, 6-3. Garnock managed to
come back and win the second set, 7-5.
However, he went down in the third set,
6-0.

Blume played the number six position
and lost in two sets, 6-4, 6-1.

Presser and Cohen played the number
one doubles match and lost, in pro sets,
8-1.

The number two doubles team of
Addelston and Rudnick scored Albany’s
only win, eight games to five.

However, Garnock and Blume went
down, 8-4.

“We didn’t compete anywhere near as
well as we could have,” said Lewis. “We
have to do much better next time.”

Albany’s next match will be against
Hobart College at home on May Ist..

Albany’s final match will also be at
home on May 3rd at 3:00 p.m. against
Colgate University.

To the family and friends of Amy

Two years ago last week, a very good
friend and colleague, Sue Friedman, died
suddenly. Despite the loss, it's as if she
helped the rest of us get closer than we
ever were, and we often laugh and feel
good when we think of her. That's what we
hope for you.

‘The ASP

Well, gang, we all made it through one hell

of a ride this year. A year ago, Wayne and
| predicted that if we didn't wake up, we'd
be in for some very tough times. Now look
at us. We made it through the worst
because we pulled together. Now we've
got to get ready for next year. Like any
family, we have had our share of bickering
and posturing, but we all have some things
in common. Sleep deprivation, no exer-
cise, a tendency to drink heavily and the
simple fact that we have lived one of those
“landmark periods” of our lives doing
something that we love. The luckiest peo-
ple at SUNYA. And speaking just for me,
having had the chance to work with each
and everyone of you, | wouldn't trade
these memories for anything. Leanne, I've

‘said this before. You are the treasure who
has quietly heiped keep this paper going
until the next crew was ready to take over.
it looks like they're on their way. Now we
can get on with our lives, right? | keep
telling myself that. Maybe someday. We've
done a kickass job, girlfriend! Jason-
though our styles are different, it couldn't
have happened without you, It all started
with a litte chat with you me and Jen,
Pat-you and | made the ultimate sacrifice
to step back from school to help keep this
baby alive. Now it’s time for us to do our
things, eh? GLO always.

Joe- it was a bumpy ride at first, but
you've got be proud of the way every-
thing's starting to fall together now and
you wrotea few nice editorials too.Pam-
ditto.til get the rest of you later-Tom
Kevin-You are the “unofficial* heir to the
throne. You've watched the master for a
year so I'm sure you are prepared to do
whatever it takes to get us out of the hole.
Nil be sure to leave my phone number
behind in case you ever get stuck, yet |
doubt you will ever need to use it, You
know the way you business minded peo-
ple are, you can spot it all a mile away. I'm
sure you'll do a great job, if elected. Good
luck and thanx for taking care of a lot of
the shit | chose to ignore. Pat-not only did
you dish a lot of the shit out, but | must
‘admit you had to put up with a lot too. |
admire your persistence and dedication
and am glad i had a chance to work with
you. Good luck next year. | wish you alll the

to stay out of it and when to say what you

me when it was necessary. You are the
true diplomat. it all worked out well so we
didn't do such a horrible job after all. Beth
thanx for saving the day, what dedication, |
still can't believe it. Good luck next year.

scenery. To everyone else-There is no
room but thanx for everything, Good

Listen all you hosers-I love youll! lil miss

you, i think | said it best at the base of the
editorial. Know if their were a bit more
room I'd send something to all the ASPies.
There is very little room though so I'll walk
around at the next party with a copy of the
ASP and make little "personal personal" to
each of you. Come early I'll be drunk fast.

good sport. Dave K.-Class was really

Brendan, Beth (great job this issue), Josh,
Jon, and Renee. Finally, three more.
Jason-You did a great job this semester

didn't deserve. Joe- it was great bugging
you for editorials. What power I had. It was
a lot of fun hanging out with you leaving
scenes of accidents, also. Pat-My bro, my
Partner in crime, it was great working with

Albany endures tough losses to Oneonta

By Hat Moss
Staff Writer

The Albany baseball team has suffered
some heartbreaking losses lately.

After routing New Paltz, 12-3, on April
2 lst, the team lost a tough doubleheader
to Oneonta State on April 25th, and was
then defeated at Westfield State on
Tuesday.

After the Albany win against New Paltz,
the Danes improved their record to 6-2.
Senior Clint Kiehl pitched seven impres-
sive innings without yielding any earned
runs. He struck out nine and only surren-
dered three hits.

Senior Duane Theleman was two for
three with two runs scored, one RBI, and
a double. Junior Howie Rosenkrantz was

Albany lost 5-3 while only collecting two
hits. Theleman and junior Matt Curley

each had RBI's.

Albany almost pulled off a great come-
back in the top of the seventh inning. Two
errors and a walk loaded the bases with
two outs. Rosenkrantz grounded out on a
hard hit ball to end the inning and the
game.

“Tt was a heartbreaking loss,” Albany
coach Ed Zaloom said.

In game two, Albany lost another tough
game, 7-5. Sophomore Marty Geagan had
two hits and scored a run. Theleman col-
lected two doubles, two RBI's, and scored
a run, Junior Dave Sottile was two for

In the bottom of the sixth, Oneonta ral-

the bases. A grounder to first baseman

crucial play. Rosenkrantz flipped it
to pitcher Kiehl, who ran over the
bag, scoring the first run of the
inning. Joe Mancini subsequently
tripled in all three runners, giving
Oneonta the lead they would never
relinquish.

“We went from a blowout to los-
ing the game in one inning,”
Zaloom said,

Lady Danes Sweep

The Albany softball team took their bats to Westfield State
Wednesday and came away with a doubleheader sweep.
An all-around team effort helped put the Lady Danes (9-6) over the

top.

Patti Gay won the first game while giving up four runs. Kristy Marino
put up similar numbers in the second game, also giving up four runs.

However, it was the offense that carried the Lady Danes to victory.

In the first game, both Holly Whipple and Romi Rotello went two for
four giving Albany a 6-4 victory. In the second game, Linda Carioto
powered the Lady Danes to an 11-4 victory. She went three for four

Blatnick tells of overcoming disabilities

By Hers TERNS
Staff Writer

Olympic wrestling gold medalist Jeff Blatnick joined
Abilities Awareness Month last week in his quest to edu-
cate the campus about overcoming physical challenges.

Blatnick was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease two
years before he won his gold medal in Greco-Roman
wrestling at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Blatnick said, “people who can adapt and adjust are
people who can overcome.”

Hodgkin's disease is a form of malignant lymphoma
characterized by a painless enlargement of a group of
lymph nodes, usually those in the neck or armpits.

Blatnick said he was told the bumps on his neck were a
result of Hodgkin’s diseasein July 1992.

Blatnick said he temporarily reduced his workout after

he recovered from having his spleen removed; his spleen
was enlarged, presumably as a result of the disease.

Blatnick discussed the importance of becoming active
in your goals. “You can listen to other people, or you
can step out and do it yourself,” he said.

Blatnick said three lessons he could share would be the
importance of attitude, pride, and success. He said atti-
tude is really faith in your own abilities.

Blatnick said people who want to succeed should ask
themselves everyday, “did you take a step that day to get

-any closer to your dreams... The only way to find success

is to accept challenge.”

Blatnick said he trained at the SUNYA gymnasium
before going to the Olympics. He won his gold medal in
Greco-Roman wrestling, a type of wrestling not as com-
mon as freestyle wrestling which is taught in most high

conditions, the Lady Danes had some impressive perfor-
mances against their local competition.

Two of the major contributors in the meet were Mary
Walminski and Bonnie Boyette.

Walminski placed in four events, coming in fourth in
the discus, third in the javelin and the shot-put, and sec-

It was also a busy afternoon for Boyette, who again
was dominating in the jumping events. She had two sec-
ond place finishes in the long jump and the triple jump,
and a third place showing in the high jump. :

Boyette also competed in the 4x100 meter relay, along

Albany loses the Capital Cup

Union dominates early to regain the title, 16-12

File Photo by Edwil Fontanilla
Paul Ramirez battles his way past a defender.

By Patrick CULLEN
Managing Editor

In its seven years of existence, the Capital Cup championship
has become a benchmark for men’s lacrosse supremacy in the
Capital District,

The Uiiiversity at Albany, Siena College, Skidmore College,
Union College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (R.P.L.) all
compete in round-robin play during the regular season to deter-
mine the Capital Cup winner.

One team, however, has stood above the rest, owning a
strangehold over the Cup. That team is the Dutchmen of Union.

For five years in a row, Union retained the championship and
reigned over the Capital District. But that ended just over a year

ago, when the Great Danes of Albany came into the picture,
beating the Dutchmen, 16-15, on the strength of a late game
comeback in Albany.

It was Albany’s first Capital Cup Championship and it was the
strength of this win that pushed the Danes into the Eastern
Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament, which they
lost in the championship round to Hartwick College, 24-11.

This year’s matchup was the second year in a row that the Cup
would come down to a single game. The scene moved to
Union’s Bailey Field this past Wednesday for a matchup
between two teams which came in undefeated in Capital Cup
competition.

When it was over, the Danes’ brief reign had ended and the
Dutchmen were again atop the Capital Cup throne with a con-
vincing 16-12 win.

While the defense was shutting down Albany’s leading scor-
ers, junior attacker Kurt Randall and senior attacker Mike
Tesoriero, the Dutchmen offense broke open a tight game with
six unanswered goals, running from midway through the second
quarter and into the third.

This turn of events saw Union (7-4) take a slim 5-4 lead and
stretch it into a gaping 11-4 chasm, one which Albany (6-2)
would not recover from.

Randall (two goals, two assists) was effectively shut out of
scoring in the first half and Tesoriero (four goals) could manage
only a single goal in the half.

Both did their damage in the second half when the game was
well in Union’s hands.

Union’s winning run started with four and half minutes left in
the first half. Senior Tim Fisher (four goals, two assists) scored
at 4:31 and then assisted on a goal by junior Ted Sidel (three
goals, one assist) at 3:08.

The Dutchmen added two more goals to lead at halftime, 8-4.

Just four minutes in the second half, Union had extended its
lead to 11-4, thanks to goals from senior Jon Bang (three goals,
four assists), freshman Andy Hunter and freshman Scott Porter.

One bright spot was Albany’s defense, which shut down
Union’s star attacker, senior Nate Fitch, to two assists.

Women’s lax heats up down the stretch

By KarN STEIN
Associate News Editor

The Albany women’s lacrosse team
rounded up their second season as a varsi-
ty sport, winning two of their last three
games and leaving their season record at
7-5.

The Lady Danes traveled to R.P.I. yes-
terday to win the season’s final game,
9-8. The high-pressure game went into
overtime after R.P.I. scored in the final
minute of the game, tying the score, 8-8.
Sophomore midfielder Liz Rogers (10
goals, one assist) scored in the second
minute of overtime.

Throughout the game, the score
remained close but Albany was able to
achieve a four goal lead.

“Every time we'd get ahead they'd fight
some more,” said Lady Dane coach Judy
Finerghty.

Leading scorer junior Alicia Liu (25
goals, four assists) scored three times
against the R.P.I. team, making her the
highest scorer ever at Albany.

“A lot of teams have been keying in on
her,” said Finerghty. “Teams have been
increasing defense on her. Liu has a

Women’s Track

tremendous amount of speed and a lot of
good moves.”

Throughout the tight game, Albany’s
many scorers kept the plays high-paced.
Attackers Kelly Peyton (seven goals, two
assists), a freshman , Krista Hohlfeld (15
goals, three assists), a sophomore , and
Nerissa Mescallado (15 goals, three
assists), a senior, as well as senior mid-
fielder Andi Rice (seven goals, two
assists) each scored one goal.

Sophomore midfielder Kim Silinsky
(12 goals) played exceptionally well all
over the field and had eight ground ball
controls.

Junior goalie Monica Harlow saved
seven balls each half including a dyna-
mite diving save and an additional two in
the overtime.

Sophomore defender Noelle DeLuca
picked up four draws which gave Albany
significant advantages and allowed them
to maintain possession for most of the
game.

“Tt was a horse race right from the
start,” Finerghty said. “There were no dull
moments.”

Albany also celebrated a success after
their Tuesday game against Vassar

College, 18-10.

Ten Lady Danes were able to get past
the two-year old Vassar team and score.
Hohlfeld and Rogers each scored three
goals while Liu, Mescallado, Rice and
Peyton each scored two. Jen O’Donnell,
Silinsky, Deb August and junior defender
Celia Mosier (three goals, two assists),
rounded out the Albany scorers with one
goal apiece. Liu, Peyton and senior
attacker Maureen Fioresi (two goals, one
save) each assisted one goal.

Finerghty said the game was a
“grudge-match for my kids because I’m
going to be coaching their team next
year.” She will be leaving the Lady Danes
in June.

Facing the strong Cortland State team,
Saturday, a hard battle was fought but the
challenge was not met.

The Red Dragons soundly defeated the
Lady Danes, 14-7.

Cortland opened the game quickly and
scored within the first 15 seconds. They
scored three more times in the opening
minutes before Liu broke through and
scored assisted by Hohlfeld.

Ramblings

of a tyrant

By Mike DirEcTOR

Sports Editor

As Il end my reign of tyranny as
sports editor, I have taken some time to
reflect on my years here. From the first
time I walked through the doors I knew
the ASP was a special place.

I never intended to be an editor, but
this place kind of grows on you. To any
of you big sports fans out there I rec-
ommend working here it is not just a
job, it is an adventure.

Covering men’s cross country and
track and field has been a pleasure over
the past five years. These are two of the
finest sports at Albany and coach
Roberto Vives is to be commended for
the fantastic job he has done with his
athletes and the program. Last year
Albany placed in the top ten in Division
Il in cross country and indoor/outdoor
track&field and this year Vives’ cross
country squad took third at Division III
Nationals. This is not the only area
where Albany sports excels, however.

The basketball and wrestling pro-
grams are also a source of pride for
Albany. The men’s basketball team
under the leadership of Richard “Doc”
Sauers made it to the Division III
National tournament in 1991-92 as did
the women’s team coached by Mari
Warner. The wrestling team had five
All-Americans last year, and one
All-American and three scholastic
All-Americans this year.

Over the five years I have attended
this school, I have seen a pitiful lack of
school spirit. With results like those I
wonder why.

Meanwhile, the professional sports
world has had its share of interesting
stories. The revelation that Magic
Johnson and Arthur Ashe have con-
tracted AIDS, was a startling announce-
ment which made many people take a
closer look at how they live their lives.
Sports provides many heroes to our
youth and when two major figures
revealed they had AIDS hopefully a
message was sent. With the recent
antics of the National “Basket brawl”
Association I hope a different message
was sent. Sports figures should set an
example for our youth and fighting,
whether it be in hockey, basketball or
baseball, is inexcusable.

I guess what I am trying to say is that
I love sports and think that the athletes
should set examples for the millions of
youths who idolize them. If you exam-
ine Albany sports you will see some of
these ideals being attained. Every year
there are a handful of athletes who earn
scholastic All-American honors and
many of the coaches I have spoken with
say that academics come first.

Now I would like to take some space
