Close to 150 women and about
10 men gathered in front of the
Capitol Building downtown Fri
day evening to demonstrate that
the almost total control rapists
and attackers have over women at
night is not an insurmountable
problem.
The gathering was part of the
annual ‘Take Back the Night"’
march and rally.
Before the march, rape crisis
counselors read a sobering set of
statistics to the crowd. Said the
events’ organizer, Debra
Schramek, director of the Albany
Rape Crisis Center, calls to her
office were up almost 40 percent
in the last year.
“A-woman is raped here once
economic or social.’”
“One of every three girls and
one of every eight boys is sexually
abused," Willard said, adding
that most of this sex abuse occurs
in the child’s home. 57 percent of
the caseload at the Rensselaer
Center are victims under 18 and
25 percent of teh cases are under
10 years of age, she said.
“The speakers at the march
were very informative and the
statistics were quite shockin
said Kimberley Hardt, a senior at
SUNYA. ‘Women's safety is an
issue and this reminds us all that

Fuerza Latina seeking help for friends in need

‘A variety of fundraising ideas are in the
works by members of Fuerza Latina in
hopes of raising at léast 5,000 dollars to
aid victims of the recent earthquake in
Mexico.
The September 19th earthquake,
measuring 8.1 on the Richter Scale,
devastated Mexico City, killing more than
7,000 people and leaving countless others
homeless.
According to Niurka Pion, President of
Fuerza Latina, ‘The situation concerns
all, not just Hispanics, We need everyone's
help.” Many members of the group are
from Mexico, she said.
To raise their immediate goal of $5,000,
Fuerza Latina has several projects planned
in the coming months
On Community-University Day, held
this past Saturday, the group set up a table
in the lecture centers to raise money- 25
percent of which will be donated to the
fund.
Fuerza Latina members will be going
door to door on a fundraising campaign
sometime this semester and will have a
table in the Campus Center to sell T-shirts
and to solicit donations.
Plans are alsp being made for a dance to
which all members of the campus com-
munity will be invited to show their sup-
port, 100 percent of the money raised from
these activities will go to the Mexico fund.
Fuerza Latina will be working through
the Red Cross to send the funds to Mexico.
Pion said she would like the moncy ‘‘to go
to a special neighborhood, so the money
can be used immediately for food, fresh
water and shelter,”"
Alfredo Rodriguez, Public Affairs
Coordinator for Fuerza Latina said he sees
Mexico as ‘‘a neighboring country whose
needs we cannot ignore."" He added that
he would like everyone to be generous and
to realize the urgency of the situation,
$6,000 has been rasised by the Red Cross
and other. organizations in the City of

A landmark decision, won by student
advocates last November to allow
.Students to vote in their college towns
‘has lost it’s statewide impact as a result
of a successful appeal won in June.
The case, filed by the New York State
Attorney General’s office, was an ap-
peal of the 1984 McCum decision which
gave students the right to register to vote
in the county in which they attend
college.
‘The victorious state appeal made Mc-
Curn's prior decision applicable to
Albany and Ulster(New Paltz) counties,

said, ‘Because the state law was ruled

The burials, attended by about 400 anti-

Conversations offer
students opportunity
to learn about world
By Kathy O'Sullivan
Foreign students can learn to do and speak as
‘Americans do while studying here at SUNYA by taking
advantage of the univeristy’s new Conversation Part-
ner Program, but the benefits may not be just for the
foreigner.
‘According to Suzanne Reeves of the Intensive
English Language Program (IELP) office, “It’s dif-
ficult for foreign students to strike up conversations
with Americans for fear of being misunderstood.”
American students are also “hesitant to approach
strangers of unknown English ability, she said.
“This situation is unfortunate,”* said Reeves, ‘‘since
so. much can be achieved through simple
conversation.
The Conversation Partner Program: attempts to
¢liminate this communication problem by pairing in-
terested SUNYA students with foreign students of
limited English proficiency. The partners meet on cam-
pus for an hour each week.
‘Sharing experiences as well as conversation helps real
friendships develop, Reeves said. ‘In this way their
meetings become social as well as educational ex-
periences,”” she added.
Chris and Olya Szyjka, who participated in the pro-
gram over the summer, recall how their partners, two
Cuban nuns, enjoyed the informality of their meetings.
According to the Szyjkas, once they all got to know
each other the nuns became comfortable speaking
English in conversation.
“The nuns felt relaxed talking with us because they
knew we were interested and really trying to unders-
tand what they were saying,”” said Chris Szyjkas.
‘The nuns felt less self-conscious making English
mistakes during their converstions than in their classes,
she added.
“It’s an excellent opportunity to learn about the
customs and people of another nation,” said Chris
Szyjkas.
Reeves and Ms. Szyka both said they feel that
American students benefit fromt his program by “‘hav-
ing their view of the world expanded.” -
This mutually beneficial program requires ‘‘only a
small committment of time and a good attitude,” said
Chris Szyjka. ‘(Communication may become difficult
at times, but this can be overcome with a little per-
sistence and some hand gestures,”” she added.
‘According to Reeves, this commitment pays off by
breaking down the communication barriers present at
such a large university as SUNYA.

Alan King pertormed before a capacity crowd Saturday night during Parent's Weekend.
C-U Day unites parents and students
By Pam Schusterman
and Robin Wenig
Saturday’s heavy rainfall dampened more than the
Albany area as it also cut heavily into the expected atten-
dance at Community-University Day and Parent's
Weekend events.
‘The Lecture Center hallway was alive with an activity
usually reserved for school day morning as student
groups and University departments put up displays and
gave demonstrations of the research they do to interested
onlookers.
Among the busier booths was the Five Quad Am-
bulance Service table where people could get a free blood
pressure reading.
Other popular booths offered fingerprinting of
children and information about Telethon '86. In addi-
tion, many groups offered ethnic foods for sale.
ickets for Alan King sold out on Saturday afternoon,
and King performed before a fuill house in the gym that
night,
For parents, the weekend was a time to see their
children and also the school.
Ira SAndler of Plainedge, Long Island, father of Jeff
Sandler, a first-year student on Dutch Quad, browsed
through some of the displays in the LCs. “‘I was very im-
pressed with the physics display, it kept my children in-
terested — which was important to me,"* he said.
According to Sandler, the campus seems to be a ‘vast,
sterile campus."” He explained that the campus is so big it
just isn’t “intimate.”
Parents did appreciate all the time students put into the
exhibits on the podium. Mrs. F. Gessner of Monroe,
N.Y., mother of Joan Gessner, a junior from Indian
Quad, said “We went through all the exhibits on the
podium, we spent a lot of time there because there was a
lot of time put into them." She added that the Russian
display was especially excellent.
Experiencing the. aura of the campus was something
parents indulged in this weekend. Mrs. Gessner said ‘We

Parents participating in the planned events seemed to
really enjoy them. Carol Tuttle, mother of Doug Tuttle,
said they attended Alan King and the President's
Breakfast. “We had a great time at Alan King and the
breakfast was very pleasant.””
Mrs. Tuttle said ‘We really enjoyed President
O'Leary's speech and the student’s speech, Parents need
reinforcement sometimes too, that their children are do-
ing a lot at school and enjoying themselves.””
Feeding their children with other than UAS food was
another priority of parents this weekend. Mrs Tuttle said
“We took Doug out for chinese food, and to Cosimo’s
for some good food.””
In addition to attending events parents seemed to enjoy
just seeing their children, Mrs. Tuttle said, “It was nice
just to see Doug, spend time with him, and talk. Q
SUNY victory inspires push for state divestment
By Pam Conway
STAFF WRITER
Encouraged by the recent decision of the
SUNY Board of Trustees to divest SUNY
funds from companies doing business with
South Africa, campus groups are now tur-
ning their attention to pushing divestment
on a state-wide level,
Stacey Young, project coordinatot for
the New York Public Interest Research
Group (NYPIRG) on campus stated that
NYPIRG's “ultimate goal is to achieve
state divestment in order to put pressure
‘on national corporations.””
State divestment would involve the
withdrawal of the pension funds of New
York, which Young estimated to be about
$2.5 million, from stocks of companies
which do business in South Africa.
NYPIRG is hoping to “build a coalition
of students and community groups who
are interested in state divestment’? and to
work in coalition with the Student
Association of the State University
expressed that he is in favor of the bill.”
Hartman will be heading up a letter-
writing campaign on campus this week to
enlist student support for statewide divest-
ment, He stated that student action is very
effective because “this is a pre-election
year, Senators are responding to public
opinion and don’t want any bad press."”
David Langdon, press secretary for
Assembly Speaker Stanley Fink, a sup-
porter of state divestment, explained that
the process would involve taking New
York pension fund money out of stocks of
companies doing business with South
Africa, money which is “almost complete-
ly under the charge of Comptroller
Rogan.”
‘gan and other opponents of divest-
said Langdon, ‘feel that money
for retired New Yorkers should not be us-
ed to solve social problems, Many retirees
are against apartheid but don't want their
money used to stop it,"” he said,

(SASU) now that SUNY has divested, said
Young. Until the recent victory, SUNY
divestment had been SASU's main
priority.
This spring the state Assembly passed a
far reaching divestment bill 98-43, but no
Senate action was taken, The bill would
not only have divested pension funds but
would have also. affected government
contracts.
Jay Halfon, legislative director for
NYPIRG, stated that in order to get the
Senate to pass the divestment bill, ‘we
must put pressure on Ned. Regan, the State
Comptroller, who has been shielding the
Senate and has said that state divestment
would not be good for the pension fund.”
In order to accomplish this,, Halfon
said that NYPIRG “will be working
through educating on campus, organizing
grassroots activities, and other efforts."
‘According to Larry Hartman, chair of
the Student Action Committee, efforts for
divestment statewide must now be geared
towards the Republican leaders in the State
Senate who ‘‘don't want full divestment
and are not allowing the bill to come up.”
If passed by the Senate, the last step
would be approval by Governor Mario
Cuomo who, according to Hartman, ‘has

Roots of student activism planted in history.
By Karen E, Beck
STAFE WRITER
Recently, the cries of “SUNY Divest!””
echoed across this campus. These were the
sounds of student activism — sounds that
once again are being heard on college cam-
Puses across the nation.
“Students are starting to see what’s go-
ing on around them, and they are uniting
together and seeing that by doing so, they
can win,” said Student Action Committee
Chair Larry Hartman,
“People are starting to realize how im-
portant, for example, the nuclear arms
race is,” said Hartman. “They are staring
to realize that by putting political pressure
in the proper places they can effect
change.”
“Activism is a lot more conservative in
the cighties,"” he added. “Students have
now learned how ta work within the
system instead of against the system. In-
stead of disobedience, instead of
firebombs and instead of acts of van-
dalism, we've learned that we can be a lot
more effective through lobbying, petition-
ing and letter drives,”
Many people view the recent resurgence
of student activism as a return to the ideals
which dominated the Sixties,
“The violent, activism of the Sixties is
over-emphasized,”” said Stacey Young, a
New York Public Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG) Project Coordinator, "I think
there was a lot more non-violent activism
than what we hear today. WE’re better
educated now about the practicalities of
organization and there are a lot more
methods of organization and methods of
making our opinions known."”
“The activism now isn't as exciting as
the activism of the Sixties, but I think it’s a

Sixties is an image given to us by the
establishment media," said Young. ‘Peo-
ple today have a more long range view of
things. If one thing doesn’t work, we'll try
another. We won't be as likely to resort to
desperate measures.”
Young added that she felt that student
ism is here to stay. “The Sixties was
the start of it, But when the world didn’t
change in a day, people got burned out.
Now I think people are going to stick with
student activism for the long haul,’ she
said,
Bruce Weinfold, president of SUNYA’s
Young Republicans, said he thinks
students see themselves playing a more ac-
tive role in the system.
“People do care,”* he said, “and there

in the Sixties, but they know the issues very

they get together on an issue. We
can't just look at problems like South
Africa," he added, ‘We also have to look
At issues around the world and in our own
country. We must examine issues rational-
ly, rather than emotionally.
“A lot of students are new to all this,"
said Tom Gaveglia, Coordinator of Peace
Project. “They're beginning to realize that
problems like apartheid and nuclear arms
do exist in the world.”
He added “Rallies and demonstrations
give students opportunity to see that other
student, a lot of other students, feel the
same way. It’s very hard to change a policy
alone. You have to work in groups."*
Complacency was easy in the seventies,
said Young, because it was before the con-
servative shift had really set in. ‘‘Now,"”
she said, “I think the conservative shift
has clearly arrived and it is showing up in
some frightening ways. Students are begin-
ning to feel more urgent about it now than
in the seventies.”
Gaveglia said that he didn’t feel that the
seventies were laacking in activism, but
rather that the media coverage dictated
what students were involved in. ‘There
was still activism here on campus, it just
wasn't as active,"* he said. “The media
‘Young explained that more of today’s
liberal student ‘activists are adopting dif-
ferent tactics in working against
conservatism. ‘
“They are not trying to undo what con-
servatives do,”* she said. ‘In a lot of ways,
that’s good, because when you get caught
up in trying to stop negative change, you
stop achieving positive change."”
“It’s hard to see where activism will go
after divestment,” ‘said Hartman. “It
could be the President's decision to. cut
student loans. It could be the nuclear arms
race. We act based on the consensus of the
student body and what they care about.””
He added that he tries to work with as
many different groups as possible to learn
about student concerns.
“Students turn out in larger numbers in
response to issues that affect them directly.
T think, we're seeing a growing amount of
students who are willing to take the time
and Who care enoligh to take part in what's
going on around them,” said Hartman:

ir decision to do so,” said
“Divestment is not over as an issue,’
agreed. Hartman. “SUNY. Central has
divested, but New York State and the
federal government haye yet to divest.”
He cited boycotting companies with South
‘African’ investments» as one: Way of
“This (divestment) is an issue that has
mobilized students like no other. recent
issue has. I think it will continue here on
this campus as well as others,” said
‘Young.
“Whether. you say apartheid was a stu-
dent victory or not,"’ said Hartman,
think the rally in general and the door to
‘door campaign to get people interested in
the rally, if nothing else, helped heighten
awareness and raise consciousness about
apartheid and divestment, It also, helped
inform us about’ student awareness,” he
said. 5
“We are at a turning point right now
where we can either continue on with stu-
dent activism or we can wither in the face
of this conservative shift,’’ Young said.
“Conservatives have always been par-
ticularly well-funded, and therefore par-
ticularly well-organized,” she added.
“Today's activism is different,
Gaveglia. “Students have begun coalition
building with community members,
inority groups and especially with other
student groups. This givs students a boost

Telecommunications minor expected in 1 986
By Angelina Wang
Within the next month, the Department
of Communication will propose an inter-
disciplinary minor in telecommunications
tentatively set to be offered in the fall
semester of 1986, according to Kathleen
Kendall, chair of the department.
This proposal has spent ‘‘over a year in
the thinking process,” Kendall said,
ding that it will face further refinements as
it goes through the University approval
Process,
Presently, the “department is talking
about putting the finishing touches on it”
even though ‘‘the idea has already been ap-
proved," Kendall said.
Kendall defined telecommunications as
“the study of communications at a
distance."’ It includes telephones, com-
puters, and even satellites “which are used
to communi very rapidly and over

There is a demand for people with this

in the capitol district, there exists ‘ta non-

Rapid development in our technology
has sparked interest in the telecommunica-
tions field careerwise, according to Ken-
dall, who said “it would be a good idea to
graduate from SUNYA with knowlege in
this field.”*
William Salerno, a junior and a com-

some knowledge of telecommunications is

When told about the proposed minor,

buses have stopped running.
This year the service has not started runn-

Council reps to be elected
By Roz Bickel toh

election year, but students will
still be able to go to the voting
booths to cast their ballgts this
Wednesday and Thursday in Stu-
dent Associations Central Coun-
cil elections.
According to Ele®tions Com-
missioner Guy Sansone, who has
met with all the candidates, there
have been no problems involving
the upcoming elections, and he
has advised the candidates on the
correct procedure for running for
office.
Students will be electing nine
new members to Central Council;
‘one new member from each of the
five quads and four new off-
campus representatives, Central
Council is the governing board oif
SA and elected representatives ac-
tively participate in the décision-
making process.
In addition, 15 positions on the
council for the Class of 1989 will
be elected, There has been a
“tremendous response"’ from the
class of 1989, said Sansone ex-
plaining that there are aver thirty-
five students vying for class coun-
cil seats, which is much more than

their hometow1 Riley said, ad-
ding that he believes the state law
permits students to register where
they go to college.’ ‘There have
been innumetable court decisions
which have held that the state law
does iiot prohibit students from
voting, he said,
The original law was passed
twenty years ago, one week
before the twenty-sixth amend-
ment waS approved, giving voting
rights to citizens over the age of
18, Oliver said. this was done
because politicans did not want
students to be able to influence
elections in college towns, he said.
“* “If we let all of the New York
City students Vote in our town,
they'll outvote us’ was the cry at
the time,” he said. Oo

said Langdon, “and time isa very

persuasion. }
Explaining how state divest-
ment would affect SUNY
students in particular, Young said
that it “would have implications
on campus if companies such as
Marine Midland decide that it is
economically, politically, and
socially feasible to be involved in
South Africa” even after a New
York divestment bill is passed.
haVe' shOWwst “ititetest'in” previous:
years, he said, Sansone added
that he is expecting a tremendous
tumout at voting booths on Siate
Quad.
The candidates are very en-
thusiastic this “year, noticeably
‘more than last year, said Sansone,
SA will be publicizing the elec-
tions in an effort to iricrease voter
turnout, according to Sansone. In
addition, candidates have ,had
campaign posters on the podium
‘and on the quads for some time.
Voting’ will bé easier this year
because there will be no paper
ballots, as was the case last: year,
said Sansone. This should help
things go smoothly he added. In
addition{,SA »President Steve
Gawley has arranged for a person
from the Albany County Board
of Elections to come to casmpus
and prepare ‘the machines for
voting.
‘The cost to SA for running an
election is minimal, said Sansone,
because they own the yoting
booths. The only other expenses
are paying the students who run
the booths, he said,

poured me a cup of coffee. The refresh-

stopped to greet a few people on the way,

“don’t know if that’s what made my

“Like | said, I'm not really sure, I could

he falls off the chair onto the floor with

Robert paused a minute. "Scotty freak-

“There was this guy living across the

“it was funny that they were so surpris-

Shakespeare: In theory and action
The workshop -—
walked around SUNYA‘s
Downtown campus three times on
Saturday afternoon, trying to find
an open door to Page Hall, where I thought
the the National Shakespeare Company's
workshop, “Poetry in Shakespeare,” was
going to be held. On my third time
around, I saw a bus with the words "Na-

Every hand went up but mine. | admit-

would be about Shakespeare's verse from
an actor's point of view, as opposed to a

“When I was-in high school we read
MacBeth, and | thought it was the most
boring thing in the world,” Leon admitted.
But if you go into Shakespeare as an actor
and not an English student, it becomes very
exciting.” I decided not to make trouble by
claiming to have enjoyed MacBeth in high
school English.
Leon addressed the fact that many peo-
ple are intimidated by Shakespeare's
works. “Every playwright has his own
feel,” she said. “Shakespeare's got the same

Packing in a lot of information from her
seven years of professional acting ex-
perience, Leon used verses from parts she
has played. and acted. out examples of
Shakespeare's style.
Leon focuséd on an intuitive approach to
Shakespeare. “Ask yourself, ‘What's going

The staging was sparse; a backdrop with
the ocean painted on it, movable pillars,
and curtains were arranged to fit every
scene. The simple ‘staging was very ap-
propriate for the play, allowing the au-
dience to focus on the acting and on the
play itself, ,
In the first scene the actors spoke very
quickly, making it difficult to understand
the opening of the play. Either the actors
were a little nervous, or the audience was
not yet adjusted to Shakespeare, or both,
By the second scene, however, the actors
spoke clearly and the audience was tuned
in to the moving tragedy of Othello. With
all its twists of love, jealousy, false friend-
ship and murder, one audience member
commented, “This is just like Dynasty,”
Richard Perloff played the dishonest and

intentions, but he seems to enjoy these acts
so much that the audience enjoys his
character. He works well with his naive,

Barnes, (the articulate young man who |
followed earlier in the day).
Dan Snow is a fantastic Othello, with his,
bald head sweating more profusely as he is
further tortured by lago's tales of his wife's
infidelity. He captures the dramatic com:

Fan appreciation
Love of winning has never been a
characteristic of a true New York Mets fan.
There have always been suspicions: of a
sadistic streak in all those who've managed to
remain loyal through some of baseball’s most
humiliating moments, and in those who've
helped cheer on those hard fought battles for
the proud distinction of finishing in the cellar
. again.
For real Mets fans, winning a whole game
was too much to hope for, so we learned to
settle for baseball's smaller pleasures, like an
errorless inning, or an attempt at nailing a
base stealer in which the ball did not go over
the second baseman’s head. And we justified
all the unneccesary walks by saying the pitcher
was ‘just setting up for the double play.’
That’s all over now. This year, the Mets
gave us a taste of victory. For once we wére
rooting for a team that was a contender, The
Mets became regulars on Monday night
baseball and Dwight Gooden became the talk
of the town, if not the nation.
As the victories piled up, the momentum
grew, and we all started to think about the
division title and then, of course, a subway
series. Suddenly, for the first time in years,
every Met pitch was crucial, every run was im-
portant; we had become much less forgiving
than we'd been in the past.
The Rat was crammed with students anx-
jiously awaiting every pitch, near sell-out
crowds were attending the games, and the
players became celebrities, New York became
so entranced with the Mets that not even
George Steinbrenner’s antics could take that
away.
But the spell was broken on Saturday. Not
only because St. Louis dashed all Met hopes
of the division title by beating Chicago, but
because Met manager Davey Johnson let us
down,
As the final score of the Cardinals game
was posted in the middle of the eighth inning,
more than 50,000 people stood up and cheered
in unison, applauding the Mets for an
outstanding season, pennant or no pennant.
Johnson, however, had a different attitude:
once he couldn’t have first place, it seems he
just gave up, right in the middle of the eighth
inning.
The Mets went into the ninth inning losing
4-2 to Montreal. Johnson brought Wes Gard-
ner, in to pitch the ninth, The Expos started
hitting him immediately, eventually tagging
him for four runs. Johnson just sat there. Not
only did he not have any relief warming in the
bullpen, he didn’t even go out to the mound to
settle Gardner down. Had the division titile
still been at stake, we all know Johnson would
not have stood by like that.
The sell-out crowd at Shea had just made it
quite clear that the pennant race wasn’t the
only reason why they were there. What they
came to see was nine innings of baseball; agg-
gressive ball that has become a Mets
trademark, Instead, they saw a sore loser.
‘The Mets went on to score another run
the bottem of the ninth. Had Johnson made
an effort to hold Montreal to its four runs, we
might have seen a very exciting ninth inning.
This doesn't detract from his performance
as manager this year; he is to be commended
for the excellent season the Mets had. His
poor sportsmanship though, was never more
evident than in the ninth inning.
Ironically, Saturday was fan apppreciation
day. Johnson sure had a funny way of show-
ing it.
A point of history
If not for the long drawn out rhetoric being outrageous
and ultimately counterproductive, well then, there would
be no inspiration to write about the ‘Vietnam War.”
Did America get its tail whipped? Perhaps if Ho Chi
Minh were still alive-he would certainly say so. According
to.a biographer, a French Journalist (I forget the precise
name), the Vietnam War was a conflict initiated by native
Vietnamese once and for all achieve total national in-
dependence and sovereignity,
Fred Tabaracci
In fact they, the Vietnamese, have almost succeeded in
this regard too. Vietnam — historically — has been
brought to its knees by various European and Asian ag-
gressors during the past. The most notable European na-
tion to conquer Vietnam was France. Hence, Vietnam
was formerly referred to as "French Indochina‘ on pre-
Vietnam War maps and globes generally.
However, sometime around the period of 1948-49, the
post WW II era. the Vietnamese peoples of the North
under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh managed to boot
the French out of Hanoi and the surrounding territories,
But not to be forgotten, Japan also had succeeded in
* subjugating the Vietnamese as well, While WW II was in
progress, Japan conqured Vietnam, The French col-
onialists were allowed to maintain the governorship of
Vietnam, but only such that everything was overshadow-
ed by the Japanese Imperial command.
‘Then at the end of WW IL, the Japanese relinquished
command to the British. In kind, the British turned over
|. Vietnam back to the French. However, by that time Ho
Chi Minh had garnered'the support and confidence of
Communist Russia, aka — the USSR, and Communist
China, aka — the Peoples Republic of China,(PRC).
And so North Vietnam achieved their independence.
How did America become involved? Simple — Western
“interests, exports/imports etc., were in jeapordy because
Minh sought to expand his nationalism into South Viet-
nam too, Just to name a few items exported from French
Indochina — rice, fish, and rubber.
But more so, America sought to contain the
treacherous influence of communism. By the peak of the
Vietnam War there were 500,000 Americans fighting the
Vietnamese, Yet, there was still no clearly defined pur-
pose for US soldiers to be there, The reason ‘to thwart
‘communism’? just wasn't good enough for the folks back
in the states who had been asked to send their children to
war.
By the late 1960's the Vietnam War was perceived by
Americans basically along two very different paths:
— The US was fighting to push back communist aggres-
sion instigated by the USSR and PRC,
— The US was fighting a war to deny the Vietnamese peo-
ple their basic rights of independence and soverignity.
In respect to thwarting communism America was ap-
parently in the right. The communist way of life espoused
by the USSR and the PRC, is unequivocally responsible
for millions of unwarranted deaths this century. And so
America was stepping in to put a stop to the senseless
starvation, injustice, and executions, that result of
communism.
Yet, as far as the Vietnamese peoples’ right to achieve
their freedom, well, America was in the wrong, The US
supported regimes in Saigon, never gained the popular
support of their citizens. The majority of South Vietnam
perceived their leaders as puppets of the West. And look-
ing back upon how South Vietnam leaders conducted the
administration of the country there is no wonder why
they never receive popular support from their people.
‘And so in the final analysis, maybe America did lose
the Vietnam War ... but if so, then the North Vietnamese
also lost.
‘The North Vietnamese fought, rather admirably, for
independence and sovereignty, but now in the 1980's
what have they really achieved thus far?, They adopted
communism as their way of life, and as a result they ap-
parently have compromised the fundamental freedoms
which so'many Vietnamese gave their lives for.
Vietnam is now subordinate to the USSR instead of the
French or the Japanese. The Soviets are now building
massive Strategic Naval Base at what was once the US
Naval Base at Can Ranh Bay, end the government of
Vietnam has no say in the matter whatsoever. Aside from
that, the people of Vietnam have been unable to produce
enough food and basic supplies to sustain themselves and
are thus absolutély dependent upon the USSR for this as
well,
‘So where is the independence, not to mention sovere-
ingnty? The Vietnamese simply traded in one yoke of col-
onialist subordination for another yoke. But if the Viet-
namese feel better for it...well fine, let them be.
But what about America? Yes, we had to pull out of
Vietnam, If this means we lost...then America lost the
Vietnam War, Nevertheless, losing a war surely doesn’t
mean that those fine young American men and women
died in vain.
All nations, especially great blessed nations, have to
confront and address moral dilemmas of the highest
magnitudes during their existence on this Earth. Just
pause for a moment and look back upon the history of
mankind. Why did the Byzantines, Romans, Greeks,
Egyptians, etc., decline and fall?
Throughout thelr respective histories, everything was
perfect up until the point when they lost a major battle, or
war. Then because the citizens of these once great nations
were unable or unwilling to cope with losing a war, those
people lost faith in whatever it was their nation stood for.
Now then, up until America was founded in 1776,
when one great nation fell another one emerged from
within the despair to take aver, The world has changed
since then, though. This time around, if America ever fell
there will be no’other great nation to take over where we
leave off. When the New World was discovered, the earth
was then totally circumnavigated. Just go visit.any nation
on earth — America is every nation’s hope forthe future
of mankind,
Finally, with the advent of the nuclear age, war and
peace — as perceived by pre-nuclear civilization — no
longer exists, War and peace is now obsolete, a dream of
the past and gone forever. Perhaps before the dawn of the
nuclear era the survivors of wars could be guaranteed a
place, a nation, to start over and rebuild, Not in the
nuclear age. There will be no place left to go.
If anything, the Vietnam War will go. down in history
as at least a stepping stone of American history. Or, if
you so desire, it can'also go. down as the point-in time
signalling the decline and fall of a once great nation,
‘There was no real winner or loser in Vietnam. There
never was, and there never will be. There are no winners
in war and peace. America, unlike any other nation in
history, is made up of peoples from all walks of life,
Peoples — Families of differing race, creeds, religions,
virtues, and more, There is no reason for war, and that is
why America decided to end the Vietnam War,
America's finest men and women didn’t die in vain.

To the Editor: =e
What is Feminist Alliance? This was a major question
addressed at our first interest meeting. Unlike some other
‘campus organizations, it is not a group devoted to a single
specific activity, Instead we work to meet the needs and
interests of our members and all women on campus, If
you have an idea of what you would like Feminist
Alliance to be, we are eager to hear from you, We
welcome suggestions and encourage you to’ bring-your
contributions to our next’ meeting. Feminist Alliance will
be what you want it to be.
A very enthusiastic group met last Thursday .and
started making exciting plans for fall, Our first activity
was participation in the Take Back the Night march on
October 4, Everyone who feels women have the right to
walk safelky down their streets after dark was strongly
encouraged to attend this event. Later this fall we hope to
have Martha Mollison come share videotapes of her ex-
perience at the NOW convention in Nairobi this summer.
If Feminist Alliance sounds interesting and fun to you,
we welcome you und invite you to our next general in-
terest meeting, Thursday, October 10 at 7:30, location t
be announced. We are looking forward to an exciting,
successful year and hope you will join us.

The forgotten quad
To the Editor:
1am writing this letter today to protest this University’s
blatant policy of ignoring Alumni Quad. Wherever we
“‘downtowners’ turn we are confronted by continued
references to SUNYA’s four quads, The last time I
counted, I came up with five.
We are constantly reminded of our general lack of
school spirit, but when we do try to participate in Univer-
sity functions, we are ignored and forgotten, It is an ef-
fort for us to get to these functions, but we are more than
This brings me to my first gripe: the bus system, We
have to ride the ‘Green machines"’ to get where we're go-
ing, namely, back home at night. Yet, the University
neglects this fact and stops bus service on weekends at

nighttime activities, paying,
for an unnecessary taxi ride, or walking the three
back home. None of these choices are very appeali
are they necessary, Couldn't the University find it in its
heart (and pocketbook) to spend a few more dollars and
keep the buses'running a little later, perhaps until 1:00
a.m.? Maybe the money could come from the temporary
(and superfluous) $500,000 athletic bubble.
My second gripe is also with the bus system, and .he
residents of the four uptown quads. Alumni, Wellington
and off-campus residents must use the bus system to get
back and forth. These ‘“uptowners"” abuse the system and
often prevent the ‘'downtowners” from even getting on
the buses because, especially on weekends, the “up-
towners”” are flocking to the bars downtown. 1 believe
that there should be a policy (e.g. special stickers) which
allows Alumni, Wellington, and off-campus residents the
privilege of getting on the buses first and then, if there's
room, lets others on. It may seem unfair and biased, but
we are going home for the night, whereas they are only
going out to get drunk,
My third and final gripe is with University Cinemas.
The people running this organization are highily inept.
They refuse to sell tickets a reasonable time in advance.
This creates long lines outside the theater and delays of at
least 15 minutes in starting, thus causing the movies to.
run later than necessary. Then, if we're lucky we
downtowners must pile on the last bus of the night if it
hasn't already gone. The Student Association provides
University Cinemas with about $30,000 a year. I think it's
about time that SA looks at who they give our money
away to. Let's get some intelligent people into leadership
of such a popular activity,
T hope I have opened a few eyes with my thoughts
because 'l think that groups ignored by the University are
an integral part of this community. It’s a shame that this
letter had to be written, but if the University wants our in-
volvement, they must begin to recognize our needs and
act accordingly.

Inadequate parking
Being a Resident Assistant, 1 can understand. the:pro-
blems of bureaucracy and red tape on this campus. But 1
refuse to accept the lack of common sense, This letter is
addressing the parking problem, specifically on Indian
Quad. From my own first hand experience I can say that
there were always open spaces in the Indian Quad parking
lot last year. This year, unfortunately due to increased oc-
cupancy, there isn’t, I’m not asking for a high rise park-
ing complex or even an additional balcktop lot, all 1 ask is
the clearing of a couple of yards of brush and new boun-
daries for parking. By doing these two steps there could
be enough parking for an additional 15-20 cars. The
equipment is on campus to accomplish this simple deed
and the need is there. Why mount additional pressures on
the student by making him/her worry about whether or
not there will be parking available or if they will get a
ticket?

Save civil rights
To the Editor:
In 1963 President John F, Kennedy stated the obvious
when he noted that ‘Every American ought to have the
right to be treated, as one would wish his children to be
treated. This is not the case."” With this statement, Presi-
dent Kennedy urged a national commitment to the protec-
tion of civil rights for all Americans.
A central aspect of this new commitment was the adop-
tion of a national policy of affirmative action in order to
remedy the injustices of the past experienced by women
and non-white Americans. For the past 20 years this com-
mitment has been continued,
The election of President Reagan has now come to
mean the termination of this national commitment to civil
tights for all Americans, This has been demonstrated
quite graphically by the efforts of William Bradford
Reynolds, head of the Justice Department's civil rights
division, and Edwin Meese 3d, the Attorney General,
who have repeatedly called for a color-bling society in
which no one would receive preferential treatment
because of race. To iomplement this color-blind society,
Reynolds and Meese are reported to be presenting a new
executive order to Reagan that will effectively end affir-
mative action at the federal level.
‘The Reynolds and Meese effort conflicts with the posi-
tion of Reagan's Labor Secretary Bill Brock. Mr, Brock
told the convention of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People in June 1985, that ‘this
country is going to have some form of affirmative action
for the foreseeable future’ to overcome the “remarkable
disadvantage” to which blacks were once subjected.
Unfortunately for this nation, Bill Brock apparently
does not reflect the views of President Reagan while
Reynolds and Meese do. As Chairperson of the New York
State Assembly Sub-Committee on Affirmative Action, I
am shocked by this abandonment of a commitment to
civil rights by our national leaders.
If these leaders would take the time to read their
history, they would find that it demonstrates the impor-
tance which color and sex have played in our natiuonal
development. If color had not been such an important
element in our national conscience, then perhaps there
would not have een a Civil War in the 1860’
‘The need for continued commitment to a
firmative action at the federal level is clear if the ‘‘disad-
vantages"’ of the past experienced by women and non-
white Americans are forever to be eliminated. The one ex-
ception to this emphasis on color was also noted by Presi-
dent Kennedy in 1963 when he stated that **No one has
been barred on account of his race from fighting or dying
for America — there are no ‘white’ or ‘colored! signs on
the foxholes or graveyards of battle."”

Job placement gripe
To the Editor:
Something has been bothering me since returning to the
university this semester. The issue at hand has to. deal
with the “discriminatory” policies of the University when
it comes to job placement. The system makes us crave
success yet is unable to guide us in reaching our ultimate
goal: getting a good job. A good example of the Univer-
sity's discriminatory policies is best evidenced by Accoun-
ting Majors. School has not been in session for more than
four weeks and Accounting Majors have had resume due
dates, mock interviews, and some have even been in con-
tact with prospective employers — all this under the do-
ings of the University! Well, what about the rest of the
majors in the University? Don't we account for anything
(no pun intended)? I was told that this situation occurs in
other Universities as well; that it is a tradition for accoun-
ting firms to recruit on campuses, that accounting majors
are somewhat of a small club, and that accounting as a
major is the most “prestigious.” Tome, this is
discrimination and 1 feel that no one should be overlook-
ed at SUNYA when it comes to job placement. It's time
for all students of all majors to get a fair shot at the ‘real
world” with the help and guidance that our University
has the ability to offer.

Music Council
To the Editor:
Attention all music lovers.
This is to inform you of an important, but often-
neglected cainpus organization. Music Council is an SA
funded group, designed to promote on campus musical
events, contact noted professional artists for SUNYA
performances, and bring about a greater awareness and
associated with the music department, but we are basical-
ly a student-run organization. We need the assistance of
thusiastic, ambitious students who wish to help with
publicity, fund-raising, receptions, and ushering — gain-
ing experience and having a good time as well. Music
Council officers and members are always open to each
other's suggestions — your ideas will be heard. °
‘Among the events planned by Music Council during the
coming year is a Young Artists Concert Series, the first
such series at the university in ten years. Featured per-
formers will be: acclaimed flutist. Gary Shocker
(November 6), and pianist Anne Marie McDermott
(February 6), who performed with the Albany Symphony
Orchestra last fall. Many student concerts and recitals are
in the works, such as a Noontime Concert Series (all stu-
dent musicians are urged to perform), and the day-long
music marathon, taking place on October 30, which
features both faculty and student performers, The
tricentennial anniversary of Bach, Handel and Scarlatti
has brought us harpsichordist Kenneth Cooper for a con-
cert on October 18; this event has been partially funded
by Music Council.
Music and the arts are alive and well at SUNYA. But
we need your participation and support to help promote
these activities and raise awareness. Join Music Council,

Lack of civic responsibility
fuels student self-interest
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE— Colleges are
abdicating their mandate to teach students
civic responsibility, thereby fueling
students” self-interest, the author of the
latest report critiquing the higher educa-
tion system says.
In a wide-ranging review of colleges and
universities, Frank Newman, president of
the Education Commission of the States,
called on college administrators to
rededicate themselves to making sure their
institutions graduate’ civic-minded
students.
College officials, Newman contsnded,
are well aware of surveys indica..ag that
students today are disinterested in their
surroundings and focused almost ex-
clusively on their ability to get a job after
graduation.
But most of them, he wrote, believe
there is nothing they can do about it.
“That is an abdication of responsibili-
ty," Newman declared, calling the
resurgence of civic education ‘‘a sizeable
task’” facing educators.
“The college experience should develop
within each student a sense of country and
community service, and a desire to help
others,’” Newman said.
“This must not be a welcome byproduct
of a college education, but a central,
urgent and conscious purpose
Toward that end, Newman wants to:
-Make more student aid contingent on
community service. Newman called for
community service programs modeled
after ROTC, in which students receive
financial help from the military in return
for service work,
-Expand work-study’ funds and programs.
Universities should set aside at least 20 per-
‘cent of their work-study funds for public
service projects both.on and off campus,
-Reduce federal furids available for loans.
The savings should be transferred to work-
study programs. ‘Working one’s way
through college is'a cherished American
concept that conflicts head on with ‘Go
now, pay later,"”” Newman wrote,
-Create a national civilian service program
modeled after the GI bill. In return for
community work, students would receive
tuition credits.
Newman's report, prepared for the
Carnegie Institute for the Advancement of
Teaching and released Sep. 16, is the latest
in a series of reports calling to reform:
higher education,
A similar series of reports on mei
and secondary educstion during the past
few years preceded a rash of reforms in
elementary and high schools.
‘The Newman report, “Higher Educa-
tion and the American ~ Resurgence,”
originally was to be a study of the role of
the federal government in higher
education.
The final version, however, is a broad
review of of almost every facet of higher
education , including research, access and
funding.
Newman's white paper ‘‘sets the agenda
for a vigorous new debate abo
federal government’s relationship" to
higher education, Carnegie Foundation
President Ernest Boyer proclaimed.
“Students too frequently sit passively in
class, take safe courses, are discouraged
from risky or interdisciplinary research
projects, and from challenging ideas
presented to them,"’ Newman wrote.
“Students must be willing to r
that learning is more than preparation for
a career, more than sitting in a class, and
more. than piling up credits needed for
graduation."

Sorensen measures success by faith in God
By Craig Wortman
Successful Wall St. financier Burt
Sorensen brolight his message to campus
last Thursday, but it probably wasn't one
familiar to most SUNYA, students,
“Success,” said. Burt Sorensen,
“shouldn't be judged by normal
standards.”
“A person who earns a lot of money and
gains fame, pwer and position seems to
really have arrived..,"” But, he cautioned,
“fame and fortune is not necessarily
fying. Success is not the answer to life.””
Sorensen, a 25 year veteran of Wall
Street, has certainly had his share of suc-
cess, Working for the firm of Goldman-
Sach’s, an investment banking company,
he has made “more money in one year
than most people make in a lifetime,”” and
this in an office which he considers to have
“the best working environment in the
United States."*
‘He began his presentation with a brief
of his life on Wall Street,
with his retirement from
chs. He subsequently took
and presidency of Ford
Securities, a similar investment brokerage
house.
he has found his job to be ‘tim-
make him happy, he added,
His success in life, Sorensen said is his
personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
“Having all the money in the world
wouldn't be fun anyway, because no one
else could play the game — money won't
make you succesful if you don't have
Jesus,"” he said.
Sorensen was not speaking to the
average student, however. His speech was
sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ,
members of which comprised the majority
of his audience.
Campus Crusade for Christ is a non-
“Jews will not to go
to heaven ... they
are condemned to hell
if they don’t accept
Jesus.”’

need the crutches of drugs and alcohol
(that attract other students).”*
John Hornberger, a junior, felt that
Sorensen hadn’t offered him any new in-
sights into Christianity, he had already ac-
cepted Jesus Christ, considering himself
born-again, “He did brighten up my day,
though,"* he said.
An interesting response came from
Frank Guetther, a graduate student from
Germany who said he was ‘‘now confident
I won't lose touch with God when I make a
lot of money, I was worried about that.’
When asked where Jews fit into the
grand scheme of things, Sorensen said,
“Jews will not go to heaven...they are con-
demned to hell if they don’t accept Jesus.”
Sy} ‘Yes, it is cold and brutal, but God put
denominational group which meets on a
weekly basis. ‘It was formed,” according
to its president, Orlando Rivera, “to give
students an opportunity to talk about God
with other students.” This is an activity
that otherwise “doesn’t happen often in
school,"” he added,
Sorensen often equated success in
business with his own brand of success.
“You must get good schooling, do well in
school, and develop strong interpersonal
skills if you want to be successful,” he
said,
Sorensen also strongly recommended
study beyond the undergraduate level if
possible. He in fact, doesn't condeffin
material desires and financial success,
simply saying, “it’s nice, but it’s not
enough.”
According to Sorensen, faith and belief
in God and the Bible are the most impor-
tant things. “Without faith it is impossible
to please God,” he said.
Likewise, Sorensen added, ‘without
faith, you cannot please the partners at
Goldman-Sach’s,” where a cash flow of
almost $15 billion a day is transacted over
the phone. ‘!It is necessary to have faith in
the person on the other end of the phone,
otherwise you couldn't work nearly quick-
ly enough to satisfy your boss,"" he said.
“There's little loyalty on Wall Street. If
you fail at your job, you often go out the
door, but God will never leave you, no
matter what you do, as long as you trust in
him, that's a great feeling," asserted
Sorensen. Referring to the risk/reward
ratio of making an investment, as com-
pared t0 other investments, Sorensen said,
“there's no risk in Jesus Christ, and the
rewards are limitless."
"Il be a success in life if God wants me

sénior, adding that, ‘If you have the Bible
as an authority in your life, you won't
Jesus, his only son, on the cross to die to
save us, Out. of his love for us. If Jews
refuse to accept God's love, that is their
choice," he added.
After being questioned about his
thoughts on the current proliferation of
religion in politics, Sorensen felt it was a
good thing, saying, ‘this country has gone
much too far in the direction of anti-
religion. There is no need for a state

state should have no religion at all, and
that’s wrong.”
When asked about the motives or value
of President Reagan, Jerry Falwell and
Jesse Jackson, Sorensen's opinions varied.
‘President Reagan is a beautiful Chris-
tian,’* he said, “there's no need to go to
church regularly (a fault that many have
found in the President) as long as you
believe in Jesus Christ and pray to him."
Regarding the stark opposition of views
between Jesse Jackson and Jerry Falwell,
two Christian ministers, Sorensen sug-
the Christianity of Jesse Jackson.”*

O’Leary lends an ear to off campus students
By Mark Kobrinsky
[STAFE WRITER
University President Vincent O'Leary
greeted six off-campus students with a
hearty “Hello,”* as he walked into the
‘assembly ball Monday afterrioon for the
latest session of “Conversations with the
President.’
‘O'Leary said that the meetings are ‘“‘an
‘experiment, a different way to meet the
student.”? This meeting was held in an ef-
fort to address the questions of the off-
‘campus student.
According to Tom Gebhardt, Director
of Off-Campus Housing, “Random
sampling was used to bring in the students.
Fifty invitations were sent to off-campus
students — both undertraduate and
graduate."”
However, attendance was sparse. A
total of six students,- including four
undergraduates and two graduates and
five administrators attended. Nevertheless,
O'Leary said, ‘I understand that this is a
hard group to get a hold of.”
John Harrison, chair of the Off-
‘Campus Association (OCA) said, “This is
‘a good time to make President O'Leary
aware of the problems facing students who
live off-campus."
‘Among the topics presented were re-
evaluation of SUNYA's bus system, pro-
posals for a downtown version of the
“Don't Walk Alone" escort service and an
explanation of the grouper law.
The bus system was a key issue to Karen
Seymourian, a junior. ‘Students are
unaware of places to buy bus tickets.
There are not enough advertisements
around campus. Furthermore, I have seen
students left stranded because they did not
‘The policy of this university is to get
students to and from school — not to leave
them stranded,” said O'Leary who added
that, “Ifa student has forgotten his bus
ticket, the bus driver should let him ride to:
his destination. The student should then be
iven a card allowing him to pay the bus
re at a later date.””
According to Frank Pogue, Vice Presi-
dent for Student Affairs, ‘Arrangements
can be made for students who cannot af-
ford the fee. There are free tickets in my
office, for those who qualify."
Patty Schuster, a senior, said, ‘‘There
hasn’t been any improvement in the ser-
vice. I wouldn’t mind paying if the service
was good, They (buses) never keep to the
schedules.
O'Leary offered an explanation for the
fee saying, \‘The state of New York sup-
ports bus systems that travel between up-
‘town and downtown campus. Our service
provides transportation in and between
those two points. We also had to let four
drivers go. That is the reason we had to im-
plement the fee,’” he added.
“The university deliberated for two
years on the subject of a bus fee. The con-
sensus of students and the administration
was to charge ten cents a, ride," said
O'Leary.
Harrison told O'Leary that while riding
‘a bus the driver got out and bought food at
Stewart's. “We give our drivers explicit
rules to follow, but it’s hard to keep an eye
‘on them while en route," replied O'Leary.
Another issue discussed was the
downtown “Don’t Walk Alone" program.
“There have been six assaults and rapes
within the past year. These victims are
SUNY students, We feel there is a need to
protect students who are living downtown
also," said Harrison, ‘We would also like
to have a ‘Don’t Walk Alone’ bus pro-
gram, This program would have one or
two monitors ride the SUNY bus between
the hours of 7 and 12 p.m., and escort peo-
ple,"” he explained.
“Bvery year, each group of students
must take it upon themselves to experi-
ment with this system. It takes student sup-
port to make these ideas a reality,"
O'Leary said.
“Because of the Karen Wilson case, use
+ of the ‘Don’t Walk Alone’ program has in-
creased. I think having a program
downtown is a good idea,” said Pogue.
Jessica Casey, director of Student Ac-
tivities, said, “If we find a great need for it
(Don't Walk Alone) on the uptown cam-
pus, we will implement it downtown. The
board of directors will handle this. We will
try to have both male and female escorts,
she said, ‘Maybe we can extend this pro-
gram to help people other than SUNY
students in the near future,"” suggested
O'Leary.
‘When asked what can be done about the
grouper law, O'Leary said, “t's a law,
we're trying to enforce it. There will be ac-
tion taken against students basically if
there are a lot of disturbances, and com-
plaints from the student's neighbors.”*
“We have approximately 6,000 students
living on-campus, and approximately
transfers, who were unable to
pus.” O'Leary added that, ‘There is a
renewed interest in the city of Albany.
Property prices have risen, and tension is
building between students and Albany
citizens.”
“A. person trying to live off-campus
should not try and think they still live on
campus. Not everyone goes to sleep at 3
am,," said graduade student John
Schneider. ‘it takes one bad apple to ruin
it for everyone else. Try to keep in mind,
Albany welcomes considerate students into
the area," he added

NEW ISN‘T ALWAYS BETTER.
This Simchas Torah we begin to read the Torah anew
for the 3298th time. It is a time for singing, dancing
and rejoicing.
Torah is both old and new. It goes back thousands
of years, yet is current to this very day. Timeless
and eternal, the Torah never grows old. As we declare
in the ‘‘Shema’’,‘‘Which I command you this day’’-
‘Rach day it is regarded as it was just given to us
for the first time.”
Sounds old-fashioned? Would you prefer something
more recent and modern? Then look at Coke- they

tried formula. People of good taste just wouldn’t
take it. So what else is new?

That isn’t to say that there is nothing new about Torah.
Every day and age offers new insights into its wisdom,
and new opportunities for growth within the Mitzvos.
Torah draws on new parables and parallels from our
living experience. Like this very article that you are
reading now.
But while the packaging and presentation may change,
the essence of Torah remains constant. As the Talmud
tells us in the Ethics of Our Fathers: ‘‘Do not look at
the bottle,- look what’s inside it.’”

“RPI — They're a good team,” he con-

Rami Hyari in 30:55. By putting their first
five men in the top five spots, Albany State

Running in a pack sparks harriers to victory
By Dave Blette
STAFF WRITER
The Albany State men’s cross country
team put three more marks in the win col-
umn last week.
‘The harriers narrowly edged Division.
Colgate 25-34 on Saturday, September
28th and defeated both North Adams and
SUNY New Paltz on Wednesday, October
2nd. The harriers currently have a record
of 10-4, Facing their fifth Division | oppo-
nent this season, the harriers were wary of
the home meet against Colgate, Their fears
were almost confirmed.
Just past the middle of the race, Col-
gate’s top two men opened up a gap om
Albany that was not to be relinquished, as
they took the first two spots at the finish.
Behind these two men was a pack of
Albany runners and the key to the race,
Colgate’s third man. Sophomore Pat Paul
commented on the race.
“Without a doubt this was our closest
meet this year, said Paul. "We almost got
shut out if you think about it. If Colgate’s
third man had run about 20 seconds faster
we would have lost.
The race's turning point came past the
three mile point when the Albany pack
started to move on the Colgate man.
Observing the race at this point was assis-
ant coach Chuck Racey.
Three guys: Jack Glaser, Tim Hoff
and Treuer Hash were running as a group
and they just blew by the third Colgate
eguy.”"
As the race came near the finish Albany
had their first five men in front of Col-
gate’s third man, Leading the pack was co-
captain Craig Parlato, who took third with
a time of 27:20. Four seconds behind him
as “Runner of the Meet” Hoff, who is
coming back strong from an early season
illness, Next in a tight pack came Glaser at
27:30.1, Hash at 27:30.3, and Kevin
Sheehan at 27:32.
Adding even more excitement to the
finish was freshman Vernon Miller, who
took eighth. e
“Vernon flew down the last hill and
outkicked the Colgate guy. I’m really im-
pressed with the way the team is running as
a strong pack," commented Coach Racey.
‘This pack running ability of Albany
State can be seen in this fact: this was the
second week in a row that Albany was able
to put together a solid group of six runners
in the top nine against Division I teams.
The time spread between Albany's first
and sixth man was an incredibly low 17.5
seconds,
Although the victory was a good one,
the finishing times seemed slow compared

hoped, no pun intended, for the Albany
State women's cross country team. With
a near-full squad returning after the
1984 team earned a berth to the NCAA
Division 111 Nationals, it is definitely
not a smooth ride.
Saturday, the Danes placed sixth in
the LeMoyne Invitational held in
Syracuse. Powerful Ithaca, which looks
to be among the top Division 11 con-
tenders in the nation this year, won the
meet with 29 points, according to Head
Cross Country Coach Ron White. Last
year Albany placed second in the
Invitational.
Sophomore Kim Pettichord led the
scoring for the Lady Danes with 2 15th
place finish over the challenging 3-mile
course. Petticherd’s 19:28 was quite
respectable considering the muddy and
very hilly course.
She said “‘I felt confident wearing
spikes but I was really scared when we
hit that narrow turn, nothing mattered
then."* Pettichord spoke in reference to
a sharp hairpin turn on a major

petitors in the meet'to fall down on the
muddy terrain.
Running second for Albany was co-
captain Karen DeFeo, DeFeo firmly
stated that “the course's tight turns
were hazardous to the competitors.””
Senior Lynn Jacobs trailed DeFeo by
14 seconds to place 23rd. Rounding out
the top five scoring for Albany were
junior Kitty Sullivan and senior Chris
Varley placing S0th and 58th
respectively.
Also running for Albany were team
members Roseanne Smith, Jennifer
Corby, Brendan Watson, Mary Lou
Webster, Sue Gulla, Carol Bart, and
Jackie Phipps.
“Anticipation” was a key word in
categorizing this meet before the race in
terms of its unpredictable outcome, and
the sloppy course, according to
Sullivan. The challenge here was to
finish without falling.
The LeMoyne Invitational marked
the first meet in which many of the
teams in Albany's region came together
to compete. Up until now teams really
only knew about each other through
paper results and word of mouth,
However, this meet has shown which
teams may in the future constitute
forces to be reckoned with.

Fortunately the Albany team has lots
of depth and has run quite respectably
so far this season. However the DAnes
have not had a 100 percent performance
this year. Meet after meet runners are
continuing to battle injuries. Albany's
performance at LeMoyne cannot be
called a true indicator of the teams

Bette Dzamba and Sue Spector remain
injured along with juniors and
sophomores Carla Docharty, Marla

White remains optimistic. He hopes
to have most of his forces in action next

With’a solid 7-1 record after Monday's
victory over local rival RPI, the Albany
State men’s tennis team is anxiously coun-
ting down the three days remining until the

Someone

‘The Danes, who soundly defeated the
Engineers 7-2, clinched the match after
‘winning the first five singles matches Of the
day. RPI was able to capture one doubles
match on top of the earlier singles victory.
The Engineers’ record dropped to 2-6 at
the hands of the Danes.
Albany’s first signles player Dave
Grossman took RPI’s Jeff Snow in
straight sets 6-1, 6-3, Second singles for the
Danes, Tom Schmitz, who usually is the
last one off the court, proudly finished off
Chuck Marden 6-3, 6-0 in record time to
be the first one done for the day. In third
singles play, Jay Eisenberg beat Jeff Snow
from RPI 6-3, 6-1.
In other singles action, Albany's fourth

Larkin 6-0, 6-3. In the second set, Zobler
was behind 3-1, but came back with strong
serving to win. Mike Dermansky fell to
RPI’s Greg Besner 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 at fifth
singles. Albany freshman Bob Siracuse
overwhelmed Sid Bhargaua 6-0, 6-2.
“1 came out playing well,” said Zobler.
‘I won a couple of three-all points early on
in the first set. In the second set 1 was
behind 3-1 then I started to serve really
well. My serve bailed me out."*
He continued, ‘1 was happy to win. 1
thought I might be in trouble during the se-
cond set, but I was. confident that I'd be
able to come back and I did.”
In doubles play Grossman and Schmitz
came back after losing the first set 2-6, to
beat Snow and Marden in the next two sets

You could tell by hearing Linda Myer’s
voice that the Albany State women’s tennis
team has gone through a busy four-day
stretch,
The Albany State coach, sporting a
hoarse throat after spending three of the
past four afternoons yelling instructions
from the sidelines, saw her Danes improve
its SUNYAC record to 4.0 and their
overall clip to 5-2.
The Danes two victories came against
Potsdam and RPI, but the squad fell to St.
Lawrence in that four day stretch.
Saturday was the day the Danes
humiliated Potsdam, 8-1. The Bears might
have 9 formidable basketball program, but
tennis is a different story. ‘We should've
won all the matches,”” strained Myers. In
fact, the Danes have blanked Potsdam for
the past three seasons.
On Friday, the Danes ‘came close to a
school they usually are outclassed by. Los-
ing 5-4 to St. Lawrence was a big con-
fidence booster for the Danes, who were
blanked by the upstate school 9-0 in 1984.
The deciding match occurred at third
doubles, whete co-captains Nancy Forbes
and Nina Cheung fell to pieces in the third
and deciding set. The Albany duo took a
2-0 lead, but failed to muster a game after
that. Cheung’s serve became erratic as she
double faulted three straight times in the
third game, From there, the St.
Lawrence’s Wendy Poole and Rachel Gilet
reeled off five straight games to win the
match and the meet. Yesterday, the
Danes beat RPI, 5-2. Geri Chiodo, at
number one singles, beat Laurie Com-
struck, 6-0, 7-5.
This week, the Danes play Skidmore on
Wednesday and the mighty Binghamton
Colonials on Friday. Binghamton, winners
of the SUNYAC conference for the past
few years, are heavily favored to beat the
Danes.
“I hate to say that our chances aren't
that good,” said Myers, ‘‘but you got to
be realistic, We're going to have to play
our best and that might not be enough.
Binghamton is that good.” o
Ellen Katz won 6-2, 6-4 against RPI.

The Springfield Chiefs bled purple Saturday.
In fact, by the time the Great Danes finished their
33-15 drubbing of the highly regarded Division II
team, the Chiefs had bled so much purple that it’s
doubtful the field will be green again by the time
Norwich comes to town two weeks from now:
“[ thought in preseason we would be decent,”
Albany Head Coach Bob Ford said, ‘but I wasn’t
sure how good. I think we have a solid team."
The Danes certainly seemed solid against’ Spr-
ingfield, tallying 33 points on the touted Chief
defense led by Bill Delaney. ‘They run the option
as well as any team I’ve played against,” said Spr-
ingfield head coach Mike DeLong, ““Mike Milano is
an outstanding athlete, and of course they're well-
coached.”
“We have to get a little better," DeLong added.
The Chiefs are now 0-3.
Milano, the Danes’ starting quarterback and
holder of the University’s passing yardage record,
broke his nose in the game, but Ford said he was
likely to start against Southern Connecticut. “It’s
the kind of injury you can play with,”* Ford said.
‘He thinks he’ll be ready and I think he'll be ready,

If Indian Quad seems noisier and
State quieter this year, it’s probably
because Residential Life decided to
integrate first, year students onto all
five quads, starting this sememster.
Eliminating the ‘freshman quad"
was a decision made by athe
Residential Life staff, according to
Director John Martone, ‘We con-
ducted a two month research period
in which we looked into the benefits
and negative aspects of having a
freshman quad,’” he said.
Martone explained the idea of
climinating the frosh quad had not
been a priority until 1984 because the
proportions of first year stories on
one quad were never so high, “In
1984, State Quad was 72 percent
freshman,” he said. In past years,
Colonial Quad and State Quad had
generally, the same percentage of
frosh even though State has been

done with several intentions in mind, all.
said Martone, ‘First off, it gives

This year, according to Martone,
the proportions have changed, ‘We said.

said Bill Naftel of Colonial Quad,
“who added that he doesn’t mind at
Jeff Sandler, a freshman on Dutch
Quad agreed: that living with up-
perclassmen has benefits. “You can
learn a lot about the school from
talking with upperclassmen about
classes and places to go out,” he
However, Sandler added that liv.
ing with all frosh would probably
create a friendlier atmosphere for in-
coming students,
‘Another reason for dispersing the
frosh, according to Martone, was to
lower the noise level on State Quad,
‘(We have not had as many problems
‘on State this year like noise and il-
legal parties,"” Martone said.
‘The assignment of frosh to dif-

4500 graduate students employed statewide as teaching
assistants (ta's), graduate assistants (ga’s), and
research assistants (ra's). OSEU is barred, however,
from collectively bargaining on behalf of its members.
Milowe said the hearings would be run by an Ad-
ministrative Law Judge and would attempt to deter-
mine- if the GSEU is an employee organization,
whether grad, students are eligible for representation,
and finally what the most effective unit for representa-
tion would be.
Many graduate students feel that representation is
needed to collectively deal with issues like wages,
health benefits, job descriptions and grievance
procedures.
‘In my department it is illegal to get another job,”
said Henderson, who works in SUNYA’s English
Department, ‘‘You have a choice between poverty and
hypocracy.” he added, Most ta’s hold other jobs which
is known by the professors and held over their heads,
he-said.
“We don’t have any health benefits. We go without
dental check-ups, eye glasses and God help ybu if your
engine blows up,"’ said Henderson.
‘One local issue which the GSEU is now focusing its
attention on is parking. GSEU feels GA's, TA’s, and
RA's should be granted faculty or staff parking. 7
