Public workers demand fairness from Cuomo

By Cindy Chin
STAFF WRITER

Chants of “Cuomo Sucks”
vibrated through the Washington
Avenue Armory Tuesday as
members of four of New York
State’s biggest public employee
unions demonstrated against
Governor Cuomo’s budget cuts.

Albany police estimated
10,000 protesters marched from
the Armory to the Governor’s
Mansion.

The streets were lined with
men and women holding up
signs of protest in hopes of
making an impression on the
governor. The slogan was “New
York Works Because We Work.”

The crowd cheered as the
union presidents made their
speeches.

“We stand for the worst of
“times. Brothers and sisters, as
blood flows through my veins,
we will stand together,” said
Tom Kennedy, president of
Council 82 which represents
about 21,000 state corrections
officers and security personnel.

Cuomo's

By Kent Bronson

The Student Association of the
State University (SASU) of New
York issued a strong statement in
opposition to Governor Mario
ICuomo’s 1991-92 proposal to
increase tuition and cuts in
financial aid programs, totaling
almost $100 million.

SASU President Judy Krebs
lexpressed outrage over the
igovernor’s proposals and the
fact that there have been no
proposals made to increase
corporate or income taxes to
help deal with the state fiscal
crisis. “It’s time that pledges of
‘No new taxes’ also apply to
students,” wrote Krebs in a press
release dealing with the
iproposed budget cuts.

SASU reported Cuomo’s
1991-92 proposal consists
roughly of an overall $500
tuition increase for both
dependent and independent
student who fall within the
maximum income ranges, as
well as a partial increase for

protesting against layoffs the

“The state plans to lay off

“The state should not place the

“We're do jobs that are world

said Rand Condell, president of

In a show of support for the

SUNYA. students gathered
outside the small fountain to
participate in a candlelight vigil
Tuesday night.

Paul Faulhaber, Student
Association (SA) programming
director led the event by saying

there would be no speeches.

“This is not an anti-war or pro-
war rally,” he said. “This is not
the time to think about what has
happened. We are in a war. Take
time to think about yesterday and
tomorrow, but mainly think
about today,” he said.

“This is just a time to reflect,”
he added. “These candles are for
our mothers, fathers, sisters,

brothers and friends in the
Persian Gulf. Keep thinking
about them,” he said.

“Stay here as long as you like,
maybe until your candle burns

Aides sent to Gulf

Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
(AP) As allied warplanes battered Iraq for
a 20th day Wednesday, President Bush
said he was sending his defense secretary
and top military man to assess the war
effort.

The president said he is sending
Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney and
Gen. Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, to Saudi Arabia late this
week to get “a first hand status report” on
the Persian Gulf War.

In other developments, Syrian and Iraqi
forces exchanged fire near the Saudi
border, in the first reported combat by
Syria in the Persian Gulf War, and another
four Iraqi warplanes reportedly sought
tefuge in Iran.

Baghdad was rocked early Wednesday
by another allied bombardment, AP
correspondent Salah Nasrawi reported
from the Iraqi capital. he said smoke and
fire reached into the sky and residents fled
to bomb shelters. Nasrawi quoted
travelers as saying Saddam Hussein’s
hometown, Tikrit, also was attacked.

Poll rejected

Moscow, U.S.S.R.
(AP) Mikhail S. Gorbachev stepped up
his war of words with Lithuanian leaders
on Tuesday by rejecting their
independence poll set for Saturday and
ordering instead a Kremlin-controlled
referendum.

"Lithuanian President Vvtautas
Landsbergis insisted the non-binding
ballot would be held as planned.

“Lithuania is in observance of law...and
views the president’s decree as
impermissible political interference in the
matters of the sovereign Lithuanian state,”
he said in a statement read by
spokeswoman Rita Dapkus.

The decree followed Gorbachev’s order
for new talks with the Baltics and seemed
a clear attempt to force Lithuanians to
seek independence only on the Kremlin’s
terms. The decree did not threaten any
action if the poll was held, indicating only
that the Kremlin would not accept its
results.

“The poll and the attempt to call it a
‘plebiscite on the future of the Lithuania
state’ (are) legally invalid,” his decree
said, according to the state news agency
Tass.

The poll “cannot be seen as anything
other than an attempt to block...the
holding of a national referendum on the
question of preserving the Soviet Union,”
said Gorbachev, who has called for all 15
republics to vote March 17 on whether to
preserve the union.

Danny Thomas dies

Los Angeles, California
(AP) Emmy Award-winning actor-
comedian Danny Thomas, star of the
popular television series “Make Room for
Daddy” and benefactor of St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital, died
yesterday at the age of 79.

Thomas was pronounced dead early
yesterday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
about a half hour after he suffered a heart
attack at his Beverly Hills home, said
hospital spokesman Ron Wise.

Thomas made a guest appearance on
Saturday’s episode of the series “Empty
Nest” as an aging physician. He appeared
to be in good health and recently
completed a tour promoting his new book,
“Make Room for Danny,” said Norman
Brokaw, chairman and chief executive
officer of the William Morris Agency.

“It’s hard to believe. He really wasn’t
sick,” said Brokaw, Thomas’ longtime
agent. Brokaw said Thomas was 79,
although reference books show his age as
71.

Money goes to dead

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Federal agencies, lacking prompt
notification of deaths, make millions of
dollars worth of erroneous payments to
dead beneficiaries every month,
congressional auditors said today.

Checks were mailed to some
beneficiaries who ‘had been dead six years
or longer, the General Accounting Office
reported, and in some cases the
Overpayments were in the tens of
thousands of dollars.

Lawrence Thompson, an assistant
comptroller general, told the House Ways
and Means oversight subcommittee of one
case involving a federal pensioner who
was found to have died in November
1985.

The Office of Personnel Management
eventually verified the date of death and
cut off benefit payments last October.

“Erroneous payments to the account
totaled $122, 335,” Thompson said.

STATE &

Rule challenged

Albany
(AP) New York’s judiciary has adopted a
new rule that prohibits judges from
sealing civil court records without without
“good cause,” a move designed to give the
public greater access to potentially
important data.

Monday,

judges must consider the public interest
before determining whether to allow court
records to be sealed. Judges who allow
records to be sealed must issue a written
decision explaining their records.

The new rule does not define “good
cause.” Judges will determine the standard
on a case-by-case basis.

Advocates for the new tule say it will
give the public greater access to
information on potential environmental
and health dangers. Such information had
previously been routinely sealed, the
advocates said.

End predicted

New York
(AP) The commander of U.S. troops in
the Gulf War said Tuesday he doesn’t plan
to be in the gulf a year from now but
declined to be any more precise about
when the fighting might end.

Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf said in
an interview with CBS that the conflict
would be over “sooner rather than later,
and it’s going to be over the right
outcome.”

Asked whether it would take weeks,
months or years, the general said, “I don’t
plan on being here next year at this time. I
can assure you that, and I don’t think
anybody over here plans on being here
next year at this time.”

Schwarzkopf said he has been surprised
by the lack of aggressiveness on the part
of the Iraqis but that he expects President
Saddam Hussein to do something “just to
save face.”

Seminar dispels myths about dating violence

By Natalie Adams
STAFF WRITER

Approximately 70 people
attended a seminar addressing
the problem of dating violence
and acquaintance rape conducted
by Dr. Bonnie Carlson, an
associate professor in the School
of Social Welfare, and J. Bebb, a
resident director on Dutch Quad,
on Wednesday night.

The event began with Carlson
Teading a letter from a teen-aged
girl to Ann Landers, who said
she had been battered by her
boyfriend and wanted others to
know that violence occurs on
dating relationships as well as in
married relationships.

Carlson said up to 65 percent
of college students have some
experience with dating violence -
either in college or before they

even get to college.

In a factsheet on dating
violence distributed at the
seminar, it (dating violence) is
described as “a violation of the
physical integrity of a dating
partner. It consists of such
behaviors as slapping, shoving,
punching, kicking, beating up,
and using a weapon against a
person one is dating.”

Carlson also said many people
thought the violence would help
the relationship because they
saw it as some positive feedback.
“They might say to themselves,
‘If he/she didn’t care, they
wouldn’t hurt me.”” “But,” she
said, “we’re not just talking
about men hitting women, for
women do hit men. I’ve seen it
on the Podium.”

Carlson also told the audience
about some of the warning signs
of dating violence as well as
several methods of prevention.

She said, these signs include
family history of violence, stress,
constant arguments, high
dependency and low self-esteem,
excessive jealousy or
possessiveness, substance abuse,

poor communication, and
incidences of violence in a
previous relationship.

Carlson said couples that have
arguments where they shout and
threaten one another could be
heading for danger; yet she said
with some time for rational talk,
things could get better.

Carlson recommended that
people should discuss problems
in a semi-public area or over the
phone to help avoid violence. “If

Since this is the first year
SUNYA will hold its graduation
in the Knickerbocker Arena,
there are several policy changes
which graduating students
should be aware of.

All students who have
graduated in August 1996 or
[December 1990, and thost who
will graduate in May 1991 are

eligible to attend
commencement said Sheila
Mahan, assistant to the
|University President.

In previous years if a student
planned to complete the
required 120 credits for
graduation by August, they were
lallowed to attend the spring
icommencement, Mahan said.

Originally the administration
planned to bar summer
lgraduates from attending the
IMay commencement, Mahan
said. However, due to student
complaints they have decided to
lallow August 1991 graduates to
attend commencement in May,
but only after receiving
permission from the Dean of
Undergraduates, Sung Bok Kim.
Students must receive
lpermission from him, anytime
before April 29, 1991, Mahan

said.

Although students graduating
in August 1991 can receive
permission to attend the May
1991 commencement, their

names will not appear on the|
program until the following
year’s commencement.
According to Mahan, assistant
to the University President,}
there is not enough time to get
the late graduates’ names;
printed in the program.

Graduating seniors who plan
to have 120 credits completed
by May must file for a degree’
by filling out an application at
the registrar’s office by Friday.

After registering each
graduate will receive six tickets
for their family and friends,
which will contact the students,
when dispensing tickets, Mahan
said.

Although students graduating
in August 1991 can attend the|
May commencement, the
current policy is under review
for next year, Mahan said.

She said the University wants|
to bar August graduates from
May commencement because “it
is unusual to have people attend
graduation before they

graduate.”

Mahan said the policy is
clearly stated in the current
undergraduate bulletin. “The'
policy is not to let students}
graduate until students have
completed the proper
requirements for graduation.”

Graduation at Knick | Cuomo's
requires new policies

By Katie Meech
STAFF WRITER

The New York State Civil
Commission approved Governor
Cuomo’s request last Wednesday
to extend salary protection for
the estimated 400 State
employees called to active duty
in the Persian Gulf.

According to a statement
issued by Cuomo, the State will
pay the difference between
employees” military
compensation and their state
salaries. This protection will be
available after employees’ initial
60-day entitlement of full-pay
military leave expires and will
continue through December if
needed.

Cuomo explained the move,
saying, “These brave men and
women, who leave their jobs and
families behind to serve our
country, deserve economic peace
of mind.”

Karen Polk, a spokesperson at
the Press Office of the New York
State Executive Chamber was
unable to provide figures about
the likely cost of such measures,
but said, “These
extraordinary circumstances.
These are people who put their.
lives on the line, and if we can
do something to ease their
burden, then it’s the least that we
can do,”

In addition to last week’s
guarantee of salary protection
for mobilized state employees,

you’re in a semi-public place,
you're less apt to cause scenes,”
she noted.

She also said sometimes the
victims stay in violent
relationships for fear of
retaliation and low self-esteem.
“Low self-esteem is a factor that
is common in relationships,
either in the victim or the
victimizer,” she added.

During the second half of the
seminar, Bebb showed a film on
acquaintance rape and date
violence which stated
approximately 1 out of 6 college
students are raped by someone
they know. “It’s a very prevalent
issue and not common more on
one campus than on another
campus,” Bebb said.

Bebb also handed out a survey
which asked questions on date
rape attitudes. One question
asked if a woman who teases a
man, or dresses provocatively
“owes” him sex. When many of
the attendees responded no,
Bebb announced that in the state
of Florida, a serial rapist was
acquitted of rape because he
claimed that the woman dressed
provocatively and had on no
underwear.

“This same man was then
extradited to Georgia to face the
same charges. It’s amazing,”
Bebb said.

In research, studies have
shown that more people are apt
to answer questions about rape
of the word ‘rape’ isn’t used...it’s

the stigma that’s attached,” Bebb
stated,

Bebb told a story of how he
was in Washington Tavern
(WT’s) some years ago with a
female friend who told a guy
who asked her out to dinner that
yes, she’d go out with him, but
she wouldn’t sleep with him.

Bebb used this as an example
of making sure you set rules up
for the date before the date.
“Setting up rules before you get
involved is very important,” he
said.

Another handout distributed at
the seminar stated 47 percent of
college men have used
verbal/emotional violence to get
sex and most rapists are
between 15-24 years old and
come from all walks of life.

The handout also noted,
“Couples who are sleeping
together are more likely to use
violence to solve disagreements
than a dating couple that does
not have a sexual relationship.”

At the end of the seminar,
students were given handouis
concerning harassing phone
calls, sex crime prevention and
dating violence.

Senior Nicole Davids said,
“The program was good, but
there wasn’t adequate time to
cover other aspects.”

Senior Andy Cohen felt the
seminar was “pretty
informative...1 liked the
students’ responses to the
questions...it was good.”

In his statement, Cuomo also

"War and Peace" forum airs concerns about the Gulf

By Theo Turque
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Panelists from different
student organization on campus
gave their opinions on the war in
the gulf during the second of a
series of forums entitled, “War
and Peace,” in the Campus
Center Ballroom on Wednesday.

It was made clear from the
beginning of the forum by
Geneva Walker that a reaction to
opinions voiced by students isn’t
necessarily a reaction to the
people who hold the opinions.

Steve Rhoads, Student
Association (SA) president,
opened the discussion by talking
about America’s reaction to the

war in the Gulf.

“The American people, whole
slow to anger...have proven
ready and able to defend (our

country).”

Rhoads discussed the New
World Order and said, “We must
insure cooperation of the global
community.”

Rhoads said, “New World
Order won’t work as long as you
have world leaders who feel
justified in using naked
aggression to enforce their
international policies.”

Rhoads said we waited while
they (Iraq) built their forces up.

“No one wanted war, not
Bush, Congress, (or the)
American people,” he said.

Rhoads admitted while he
didn’t know the opinion of the
University, after attending the
candle light vigil in support of
troops on Tuesday night, he said
people both for and against the
war were singing the Star
Spangled Banner.

Susanne Ziegler, a
representative for the College
Republicans spoke of Hussein’s
environmental terrorism and how
the POWs aren’t being treated in
a humane manner, since they
have been brutalized.

opinion of the war.”

“Lots of money has been spent

for economic equality. We are
fighting this war for the upper

said.

The floor was then opened for
questions and anyone who
wanted to voice their opinion.

A student speaker said he
heard words such as “Nuke
Traq,” and “Don’t smoke crack,
smoke Iraq,” shouted at the pro-
war demonstration last week.

Ziegler responded, “Emotions
began to run high. They started
shouting things that were
ludicrous. I walked away,”
Ziegler said. “I understand ice
was thrown at the speaker and
the microphone was unplugged
(referring to the pro-involvement

speaker).”

Another speaker compared
Saddam’s environmental
madness to Bush’s rape of our
Jand, and said Bush is a madman
too.
Ziegler said chemically
bombing people in Iraq
(referring to the Kurds) is much
worse,

The speaker responded by
pointing out people who die by
chemicals are dead and gone.
Bush’s economic wargame puts
people in poverty and oppression
for the rest of their life.

“Wouldn’t you rather be alive
in poverty and oppression then
dead?” Ziegler asked.

Gulf war

Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
By Edith M. Lederer
(AP) In endless hours of
airstrikes, U.S. and allied pilots
rocked Baghdad, key bridges,
and the bunkers of front-line
troops Thursday, and blew two
more Iraqi “getaway jets” out of
the sky.

Four Iraqi soldiers turned
themselves in to journalists near
the Kuwaiti border while
muttering incessantly about the
“bombing...bombing...bombing.”

A U.S. Navy FA-18 Hornet
fighter went down in the
northern Persian Gulf,
apparently not from hostile fire,
and an Army helicopter crashed
in Saudi Arabia. The Navy pilot
was missing; one soldier was
killed and four were wounded in
the helicopter accident.

President Bush’s two top war
advisors- Defense Secretary
Dick Cheney and joint chiefs
chairman General Colin Powell-
were flying to the gulf to confer
with local commanders on the
countdown to a _ ground
offensive.

Lt. Gen. Peter de la Billiere, told
Teporters he believes “the land
war is inevitable.” A U.S.
command spokesman disputed
the use.of ‘inevitable’, but up on
the northern desert line, U.S.
troops had little doubt.

“This could get very ugly at
any moment,” one officer told a
reporter visiting the Saudi-
Kuwaiti front. That view found
high-level support in France,
where President Francois
Mitterand told reporters, “the
ground battle promises to take
place... this month.”

Allied warplanes battered
Baghdad for 12 hours from
Wednesday night to after 8 a.m,
Thursday, Associated Press
correspondent Salah Nasrawi
reported from the Iraqi capital.

He said at least ten homes
were destroyed or heavily
damaged in the attacks, and Iraqi
authorities said that 22 civilians
were killed.

An attack in the al-A’ eamiya
district may have been aimed at
a bridge over the Tigris River,
about 200 yards from damaged
houses, Nasrawi said. He said
the bridge still stood.

Other houses were hit in the

Sheikh Omer neighborhood,
apparently in raids aimed at a
highway heavily used by
military vehicles heading south,
Nasrawi said.

Ramsey Clark, the former U.S.
attorney general and peace
activist who is in Baghdad this
week, told reporters that damage
to the resedential areas showed
that the U.S. air war exceeded
the mandate of U.N. security
council resolution 678, which
authorized the use of force to
expel Iraq from Kuwait.

“You don’t have to bomb
cities. It has nothing to do with
Resolution 678.” he said.

Allied bombing of Baghdad continues

(AP) Allied warplanes and the
USS Missouri’s mighty guns
shattered the morning peace
from Baghdad to Kuwait’s
embattled shores Tuesday. Iraq
banned sales of heating oil and
other fuel to its increasingly
desperate people.

Baghdad said 428 civilians
have been killed thus far in what
the official radio condemned as
“savage” bombing.

The Syrian contingent in
Operation Desert storm engaged
in its first combat, driving 30
Iraqi intruders back into Kuwait
with artillery fire, Saudi officials
reported,

In telephone calls and private
meetings, diplomats and
government leaders conferred on
Monday’s bid by Iranian
president Hashemi Rafsaniani to
mediate the Persian Gulf peace.

The Soviets and Turks
signaled support for Iran’s
initiative. In Washington,
however, President Bush said he
had seen no Iranian peace plan
and saw nothing to negotiate

with Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein.

“He’s got to say, ‘I’m going to
get out of Kuwait.’ Now. Fast.”,
Bush said.

The U.S. command reported
another 2 000-sortie day in the
Desert Storm air war, and six
American warplanes took special
aim again at the dug-in
republican Guard, backbone of
the Iraqi defense of Kuwait.

Six “packages” of B-52
strategic bombers struck Guard
positions, the command said.

It said U.S. warplanes also
continued focusing on resupply
lines to the Iraqi troops in
Kuwait and southern Iraq,
striking a 25-truck convoy in one
instance late Monday. British
officers reported strikes on an
ammunition storage site south of
Baghdad, and a railway junction
and rail bridge in southeast Iraq,
among other targets.

They said one-third of the key
bridges in Iraq have been
destroyed. A key U.S. Air Force
commander, Col. John
McBroom of the First Tactical

Fighter Wing , told reporters
Tuesday some Iraqi ground
units’ fighting “capabilities”
were cut in half by air strikes.
American commanders say they
want the attacks on armored
vehicles and bunkers to reduce
Iraqi fighting power by half
before they will order a U.S.
ground offensive against the
half-million-man army
assembled in Kuwait and
southern Iraq.

“The air war is absolutely
getting to him,” McBroom said,
the U.S. command reported. The
Missouri’s 16-inch guns opened
up twice over night, once with
six rounds that knocked out part
of a long range Iraqi artillery
battery shelling coalition troops
across the border in Saudi Arabia

and once with 28 rounds that
destroyed an Iraqi radar site.

At midday Tuesday, the
Missouri could be seen off
Khafji, in Saudi Arabia's
northeast comer, firing its guns
toward the Kuwaiti coastline
again, an informed source

Clark said he visited the
heavily bombed southern port of
Basra and described what he saw
as a “human and civilian
tragedy”. He said bombs had
destroyed hospitals, coffee
shops, offices, and other non-

He also said a Baghdad doctor
told him that thousands of people

“War is a dirty business and

SU-22 attack jets as they tried to

television said five Iraqi
warplanes, including those
caught by the American pilots,
crashed while fleeing to Iran.

On Wednesday, the U.S.
command reported that four
other Iraqi ‘getaway’ warplanes
were shot down. But Neal said a
total of 134 Iraqi pilots have now
managed the desperate low-
altitude race to get their aircraft
across the border to protect them
from allied attack.

Tran, which professes
neutrality, says it will impound
the planes until war’s end.

Program offers innovative options
for continuing education students

By Jennifer Grant

The Professional Development
Program (PDP) of Rockefeller
College, situated on SUNYA’s
downtown campus, distributed
their new winter/spring 1991

catalog containing
approximately seventy-five
courses. Courses include

alcoholic and substance abuse
counseling certificate programs
and microcomputer software
courses.

Continuing education students
who wish to augment their
personnel file at work, gain
valuable skills, advance in their
career, and possibly perform a
career switch are urged to seek
out the assistance of PDP, said
Associate Director of PDP Joan
Krejci.

Director for the Professional
Development Program Thomas
J. H. Kinney, stated in a letter to
prospective students, “PDP is
nationally recognized as a leader
in providing high quality,

innovative, educational programs
for managers and executives and
is one of the world’s largest
providers of public sector
professional development and
training.”

Operating for New York State
since 1976, PDP has catered to
the public, including the
Department of Social Services,
public service training programs,
and the Government Office of
Employee Relations, Krejci said.
However, it is also translatable to
non-profit and private sectors,
Krejci said.

PDP’s non-credit courses,
gauged by Continuing Education
Units (CEU’s), where one CEU
is equivalent to ten hours in the
classroom, is “a_ nice
complement to credit course
work,” said Krejci, emphasizing
the merit of training in more
applied work experience
acquired in PDP in lieu of solely
theoretical courses.

Krejci, a former director of
career planning and placement
and associate ean of Graduate
Studies at Union College,
expressed the benefit of the
program’s concrete courses in
relationship to degree students;
“They become more marketable
in the eyes of the outside world,”
she said.

PDP works with the schools of
Business and Public Health and
potentially the School of
Education. The program
provides for diversified fields of
study, rather than being confined
to the business department alone,
said Krejci.

Summer courses will be
offered during both daytime and
evening hours. Early registration
is stressed for all seasons, and
the number to call for a PDP
catalog from Richardson Hall is
442-5791. General questions
concerning a specific major may
also be directed to this number.

Risky
By Marilyn Elias
Sexually active young teens are far more likely
than those who have never had sex to practice an
array of self-destructive behaviors — drug and
alcohol use, school delinquency, even suicide, a
new study suggests.
Sex by age 16 may reflect a “risk-taking profile”
that should prompt strong parental moves to get
help, said psychologist Gary Ingersoll of Indiana

~-University, Bloomington.

“We've tended to look at these problems in
isolation. But parents need to be sensitive to the
full range of behaviors. If they’re engaged in one,
there may be other things going on, too,” said
Ingersoll.

He and Dr. Donald Orr of Indiana Uniyersity
Medical School, Indianapolis, surveyed 1,504 12-
to 16-year-olds about their lifestyles. Among
findings, in Pediatrics Wednesday:

— Some 63 percent of boys and 36 percent of
girls said they’d had intercourse at least once.

— Sexually experienced girls were five times
more likely to have been suspended from school
than those who never had sex. And the experienced
were 10 times more likely to have used marijuana.

— Boys who had sexual experience were six

behavior linked to teen sex

times more likely to have used alcohol, five time
more likely to have used marijuana and 10 times
more likely to have been in a car with a drug-using
driver.

— Girls who had had sex were six times more
likely to have attempted suicide,

— Girls with no sexual. experience had
significantly higher self-esteem.

— There were no self-esteem difference between
boys with and without sexual experience.

— There was no link between sexual activity and
more suicide attempts for boys.

“We may still be seeing a double standard here,”
said Ingersoll. “Girls with lower self-esteem may
be using sex as a way to build esteem, but then it
only makes them feel worse about themselves.
Early experience is still regarded as more deviant
for girls.”

He advised parents to keep communication lines
open. “If you keep hearing, ‘I don’t want to talk
about it,’ and it looks like they’re getting into
problem behaviors, it’s important for the child and
the family to get into counseling.”

Tiny shards of glass found in
a 65 million-year-old layer of
iclay may be the strongest proof
yet that a giant asteroid smashed
ithe Earth and created the climate
ichanges that killed off the
dinosaurs, says a report in
today’s Nature.

“This is the clincher,” said Jan
Smit of the Free University in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands,
who wrote an editorial on the
report by researcher Haraldur
Sigurdsson.

For a decade, scientists have
debated whether an asteroid or
volcanic eruptions led to the
dinosaurs’ disappearance.

The clay layer, known as the
(Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary
for the geological periods it
represents, is the focus of most
hunts for clues about what really
happened. It was formed from
huge amounts of dust and ash

that settled after being spewed
into the atmosphere from an
impact or a period of volcanic
eruptions.

About 10 years ago, scientists
theorized that an asteroid would
pulverize the Earth’s mantle and
create pure glass particles. The
glass shards in Sigurdsson’s
report do not contain gases,
water or crystals commonly
found in volcanic glass and
probably are the long-sought
evidence, said Smit.

“Now for the first time we’ve
found the original glass from an
asteroid impact,” said Smit, who
believes the crater from the
impact is in the Yucatan
Peninsula of Mexico. “This is a
crippling blow to the volcanic
theory.”

The clay layer, which appears
to be spread over the earth, also
contains a rare radioactive

But what do people in the
volcano camp think?

“Nonsense. Garbage,” said
Dartmouth geophysicist Chuck,

of the glass fragments found in|

material from the site.

“J think their glass is

Environmental consciousness
hits the compact disc industry

(CPS) - When music lovers buy
Sting’s new compact disc “The
Soul Cages," they may notice
something funny about the
packaging.

Instead of ripping off the outer
paperboard box and throwing it
away, the paperboard box will
double as the CD cover.

Indeed, much of the new
music about to be released by
Sting, Phil Collins, Peter
Gabriel, U2, and other musicians
in coming weeks will be
packaged in different devices
that are supposed to be
environmentally saner than the
paperboard “long boxes” that
traditionally have encased
compact discs.

“Tt’s a wasteful package that
exists only for the retailers’
convenience,” complains Robert
Simonds, a Rykodisc, Inc. record
company who founded a group
called “Ban the Box” in 1989.

Ban the Box wants record
companies to get rid of the “long
boxes” that, he says, people
quickly throw away anyway.

Some musicians have
responded.

Gabriel released his new
album, “Shaking the Tree”, in
just its hard plastic cover, called
the “jewel box” by music
companies, and U@ has said it
wants to do the same with its
next album.

Yet not all environmentalists
are overwhelmingly concerned
about CD boxes.

have made clear that their last

Surprisingly, the packaging
industry agrees with Ban the Box
advocates.

“Tn the opinion of the industry,
it is overpackaged,” said Floyd
S. Glinert, vice president of
Shorewood Packaging
Corporation and President of the
Entertainment Packaging
Council.

The people who want to keep
the long boxes, Glinert
explained, are the retailers who
sell the discs to the public.

For one thing, the long boxes
are the only place on which
sellers can splash colors, images,
and messages to try to get
browsers to make an “impulse
buy” of any given album.

(Also, the 6-inch by 12-inch
paperboard box deters shoplifters
who might find it easier to steal
the smaller jewel boxes.

Finally, the long boxes fit into
the bins in which retailers used
to keep LPs. New CD racks
could cost stores thousands of
dollars.

Nevertheless, packagers are
looking for alternatives, Glinert
said.

One option may be the folding
box called Digitrak, in which
some copies of Sting’s new CD
will be encased.

Slide Pak, a new form of
packaging developed by
Shorewood Packaging
Corporation works “like a
drawer at a desk” and will use

current CD cases, Glinert said.

19-year-old gang member was

life in state prison for the murder
of a Rialto teen-ager and the

Bernardino man.

Jermaine J. Dunlap, a member

sentence in a plea agreement
stemming from a two-day crime
spree last summer,

“He’s immoral. He has no

Superior Court Judge Craig
Kamansky said in agreeing with
a probation department report
saying Dunlap is “a great danger
and menace to the community
and should remain behind bars
for the remainder of his life.”

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1991 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 9

By Marlon Dorn
STAFF WRITER

Who would have thought that
a single volleyball game last
April would change the direction
of two lives,

Certainly not Jason and Kristi,
two SUNYA students, for whom
that game was the start of a
friendship which blossomed into
a romance that is still burning
today.

They both blushed when
describing how they first met.

Jason said a mutual group of
friends played volleyball every
afternoon last spring as if it were
a ritual.

“Well, he was going skiing
every weekend and I was having
relationship problems at the time
and we didn’t think
anything of it when
we met playing

volleyball,”
Kristi said.
Over the
summer she
said she
tried to
keep ~ in
touch with
Jason but

when she sent

him a letter and

he didn’t respond,
she assumed he
was uninterested.
Jason snuggled closer
to Kristi and
laughed when he
said he never €
received the
letter.

In the fall, Kristi, who is an
R.A., said she recognized Jason
when she was checking him into
his room and snuck him an extra
Good Stuff box. At that point
she said they renewed their
friendship.

Kristi said they went out
several times with groups of
people to the movies and
rollerskating which gave them
many chances to become better
acquainted.

Kristi said Jason began
confiding in her about the
problems he was having with his
current girlfriend, and she as any
good friend would, gave him
advice as to how to work things
out.

“T guess I didn’t do such a
good job,” Kristi joked.

Jason said their friendship
only grew stronger because he
found Kristi not only to be
trustworthy but fun to spend
time with.

Kristi confided, the thought of
some-thing more than a
friendship didn’t enter her mind
until the end of September.

She giggled and leaned against
Jason when she said she learned
of his attraction toward her
shortly afterwards.

“He leaned over and kissed me
as we were spending time in my
suite!” she exclaimed.

The following weekend Kristi
said Jason treated her to two
days of horseback riding at
Hunter Mountain where his
family owns a condo.

Kristi said they started
spending more time together
after that weekend with dates for
dinner, the movies and the
symphony bringing them closer

WEHBREINE 199)

together.

As Christmas vacation neared
Kristi said she was afraid she
would miss Jason since she lives
in Florida and he lives on Long
Island. But, the problem was

solved since Jason visited Kristi
in Florida for two weeks.

She beamed, “I got to
see him for two
weeks!”

Now to get
away from their
hectic classes, Jason
said he has taken it

upon himself to
teach Kristi to ski.

She hugged
him and said, “He’s
a very good teacher!”

Kristi doesn’t know
what awaits her this
Valentine’s Day, their first
together, since Jason who
wants to surprise her said, “I
will not divulge that
information.”

"You can't be pregnant. We only did it during the

Unfortunately this is the misconception of many

think that this myth would be dispelled after a semester
of required health education in high school. . But a
conversation with the average college male would
prove that some, if not most, believe there is a "safe"
time when a woman cannot get pregnant.

This just is not true.

A quick glance at a medical book would show that
while there are times when a woman is less likely to
get pregnant, there is no time when pregnancy is
absolutely inconceivable. It makes no difference what
time of the month it is. The human body is built to
teproduce itself...and will any chance it gets.

So use protection!!!

This is not a game of roulette. When you have
intercourse, you're dealing with powerful stuff...the
stuff human beings are made of. Is it worth the risks
involved not to invest in some kind of insurance?

Recently, according to the New York Times, the New
York City school system has been tossing around the
idea of providing condoms to high school students that
want them. The proposal has been met with equal
amounts of support and opposition. Those opposed to
the “condom giveaway” argue that the virtue of
children everywhere is at stake. Those in favor of the

With teenage pregnancy, AIDS, and sexually
transmitted diseases on the rise, it is foolish not to
make condoms available to students that need them.
This need should be assessed on a school by school
basis. It is true that there are some school districts
where passing out condoms is not a necessary course of
action. But in areas where students are poorer, or
where there is less sex education and help available,
condoms may be necessary to protect young people's
safety.

The argument that making condoms available to
students will increase their sexual activity is ludicrous.
People don’t have sex because there's birth control
available. No one catches a glimpse of a condom and
thinks,"I have to go out and use that.”

By making condoms available, you are educating
those that may not realize there is birth control
available to them. Or, you are helping those that know
about birth control but simply do not have the means to
get it. These people are going to have intercourse
whether they have protection or not. How safely they
have sex depends on what kind of help they get from
those older and more knowledgeable than them.

We at SUNYA have no excuse for ignorance.
College students should be old enough to realize there
are many things to consider before having intercourse.
Questions like, "When can a woman get pregnant?"
and, "How can I protect myself from disease?" should
not be answered with," think so," or "I heard this was
true." People should take the time to learn the facts
and behave accordingly. Try asking a physician, or
reading a book, or opening a newspaper. All will tell
you that it has become a very dangerous time to have
intercourse, and now, more than ever, it is important to
use care and consideration.

‘COLUMN

Wi

Why is the U.S. in the Persian Gulf? —

“New World Order, same old shit.”

That’s one of the many things the crowd had to say
Saturday in Washington D.C. while marching to protest
the war. Jesse Jackson was there. Where were you? The
police reported 75,000 protesters. Jesse Jackson said that

Jeffrey Humphrey

there were about 300,000. I climbed on top of a statue at
the foot of the Capitol to get a photo of the crowd in the
Smithsonian mall. I’ve been to concerts at Saratoga with
40,000 that weren’t even close to the size of what I saw.
Although Jesse is prone to hyperbole, I’d have to go with
his estimate over the cops’. Cops aren’t exactly famous
for their great attitude towards dissension.

There was a clot of about 40 pro-war protesters
tromping around before the march itself began, waving
the flag and oversized pictures of President Bush. It
looked just like all those rallies in Iraq, with Saddam’s
grinning face on a stick. I wonder if they caught the
similarity. I doubt it.

The pro-war folks eventually ended up at the White
House. They were protected by anti-war demonstrators
who formed a human chain, either to keep them from us
or us from them, I don’t know. “Eighty six percent!”
yelled one of them, refe’ ing to Bush’s approval rating.
“Eighty-six percent J!’ . barely refrained from yelling
back. “ Stupidity is unpatriotic” somebody else yelled.

I think those people have a few misconceptions about
theicurrent situation that seed to be addressed.

We.are not there to stabilize the region. That has never
been our desire. For eight years we supported Iraq’s
invasion of Iran, our intention has always been to pit the
major powers of the mid-East against each other and let
them beat the shit out of each other. Peace and stability
are not part of the picture, as the U.S. government sees it.

If we were interested in stability, we would have sent
troops into Israel to demand enforcement of the U.N.
resolutions demanding some resolution to the Palestinian
problem.

I realize that Israel is the only democracy in the area,
and that is something to be protected. I realize that Israel
was attacked by Arab nations, and the seizing of the West
Bank and Gaza were defensive. But Israel has had many,
many years to resolve this problem, and has done nothing
but exacerbate matters. To make things even worse, the
Israeli government has imposed a draconian 24 -hour
curfew in the occupied territories, and didn’t distribute
gas masks to Palestinians until moved to action by
international outrage. The Israelis are at fault for most of

their present troubles,

It is true that Saddam is not a nice man; he slaughtered
his own people, the Kurds. The Turks, at the same time,
were committing genocide against their Kurdish
minority. It hasn’t been in the news simply because
Turkey is on our side. It’s in the library.

Pro-war factions claim that Saddam, unchecked, would
be dominant in that part of the world, except Israel (of
course, they have no reservations about spying on us, but
‘we generally let it go). The majority of mid-East oil goes
to Japan and West Germany, and we can and should
manage on our own. West Germany gave Iraq the
technology for their chemical and nuclear programs, they
deserve whatever they get.

The Israelis, as they proved in 1981, are more than
willing to disarm Iraq’s nuclear weapons program. Keep
in mind that Israel has 150 to 200 nuclear warheads, with
highly accurate delivery systems ( stolen from the U.S.,
thank you). Saddam knows this.

Keep in mind that South Africa has the bomb, but we
aren’t at war with them. We should be. Pakistan and
India, among others, also have the bomb. None of these
nations are stable democracies, by any stretch of George
Bush’s more than fertile imagination. These nations are
our allies, now.

So was Iraq.

Did you know that war-related terrorism has already hit
the U.S.? A shop in Cincinnati was recently firebombed.
It belonged to an Arab. An Arab-American. He was not
an Iraqi, as if that matters. Did you know that the Pope
has appealed to the president to end the war? No, you
probably don’t because the same press that calls 300,000
people 75,000 reports these things. It is convenient to
ignore some facts.

Such as: 6 percent of all Kuwaiti citizens are (were)
allowed to vote. W are not fighting for the American way
of life. Kuwait barely deserves its sovereignty. And they
certainly don’t deserve to have American lives lost to
defend them.

“Hey George Bush, send Dan Quayle, send Neil Bush
when he gets out of jail.”

Did you know that in order to get China’s approval in
the U.N., the U.S. had to relax most of the sanctions
imposed after the Tiananmen Square Massacre? We are
not fighting for democracy. We are shaming the name of
democracy.

Recapping the Soule of IP9O
Part Three: New Groups and Old Greats

Looking back one last time,

1990 indeed saw more enclaves of
African-American Artists into Pop
Music territory than ever before. Here
is a new generation of performers
coming into their own and their

music coming of age.

Penn & Black , Inc.

Our final installation in this
series must include a pause for the
passing of a great showman and all-
around entertainer, Sammy Davis Jr.,
who was honored only months before
his “final bow,” in his own 60th Year
TV Extravaganza. Sammy topped a
“Pyramid of Inspiration” which
inspired young stars like Jackie
Wilson, Smokey Robinson and Stevie
Wonder, who, in turn, influenced
young stars like the Jackson Five, who
then inspired the next generation of
stars like New Edition and others.
And so the tradition continues...

New Edition continued their
tradition of making news last year,
but this time not as a group. Some of
the biggest news of 1990 was the
busting out of the candy-sweet image
of New Edition. Johnny Gill (“Rub
You the Right Way”) hit the charts,
solo again, and turned out to be one of
the biggest male vocalists of the year
on Contemporary Soule Radio, finally
getting some of the recognition long
overdue him. If you enjoyed his Pop
success, you'll probably dig his older
material from his teen years (Johnny's
been kickin’ gospel and soule since he
was a wee manchild). Ralph Tresvant
(“Sensitivity”) and Bobby Brown did
their own thing; Ralph started striking
out on his own with his new project,
after being a lead vocalist for N.E. for
so many years. Some are comparing
his soft, mellow vocal style to Michael
Jackson. Bobby didn’t hit with
anything of his own, but did get
billing as a rapper on a Pop hit with
Glenn Mendieros (“The Girl Ain’t
Worth it”). Meanwhile, the rest of the
group tightened up to put out a sound
that would change the chemistry of
things forever, as Bell Biv DeVoe did
what New Edition would never dare
(before). Ricky Bell, Michael Bivens
and Ronnie DeVoe exploded on to the
air waves late last summer with some
lethal vox and beats they rightly
dubbed “Poison”! They kept the tide
comin’ in with their videos, which
took a dual purpose; besides
visualizing the music, they also took

the opportunity to push their own
brand of paraphernalia and fashion
propaganda. They still have more
treacherous action on deck, so stay
posted in ‘91. The other major
happening male group last year was
Tony! Toni! Toné! (“It Feels Good”),
who did their share in re-establishing,
Oakland California as a musical town.
They really meant business when they
chose to name their LP “The Revival”!
Honorable mention is due to Surface
(“The First Time”) and after Seven
(“Can't Stop How I Feel”) who fared

better on Pop Radio than they did on
Contemporary Soule.

Now strictly on the Male Solo
Vocalist tip, let’s scope what little
action there was in this domain. Keith
Sweat (“Make You Sweat”) was in the
area this past December along with
Bell Biv DeVoe and Johnny Gill, but
many say his act was too, too hype!
He left his tourmates hangin’ in the
breeze; his band was tight and — as
one spectator put it — Keith’s dancers
could give Hammer’s troop a run for
their money! But the stage show was
merely the follow-up attack to his
initial studio assault with his second
pressing “Giving All My Love To
You,” which, in many ways, exceeds
his first attempt with more polish on
the vocals; this album will hurt you!
(Watch for more trouble from him in

‘91). If you remember the Deele
(“Night and Day”) not too far back,
then you already know Baby Face
(“Whip. Appeal”). Since the time the
group hit big, he and his partner L.A.
have been running production
projects for other acts, including his
“pet” group After Seven , who
debuted last year on the Pop Charts.
He also did some vinyl of his own
with his solo project “Tender Lover.”
It’s good to have him back on the
scene. Another male voice to return
to the scene was super Soule vocalist

Listen Up...Quincy Jones discusses a scene from his movie

very last recordings of the immortal
voice of this great fore-sister before
her untimely passing last year) to
work for him. He also rounded up
Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Siedah
Garrett, Karyn White, the Winans, and
newcomer Tevin Cambell, along with
rappers Big Daddy Kane, Kool Moe
De, Melle Mel and Ice T! Catch your
breath — this is one man working on
one project. Also last year. he released
a quasi-anthology album of the

different projects he’s done over the
decades, as well as a motion picture

producer, Ellen Weissbrod

and songwriter Barry White. The
most distinct voice in Soule Music
today was back and throwin’ bass on
“I Wanna Do it to Ya” and making the
rounds with interviews left and right
with Don Cornelius (Soul Train),
Donnie Simpson (Video Soul), et al, for
the first time since over a decade.
Theory has it that it all started when
Quincy Jones coaxed White out of the
woodwork for help on his track
“Secret Garden,” from the monster
album “Back on the Block,” which
Quincy released as a single. B.W.
shared the mic with Al B. Sure!, El
DeBarge and James Ingram on what
may have been the biggest slow jam
of the entire year.

Quincy is not shy with his
clout; he called in Bobby Mc Ferrin, Al
Jarreau, Take Six, Ella Fitzgerald and
Sarah Vaughn (including some of the

(subtitled the Lives of Quincy Jones) to
tun a video (featuring most of the
aforementioned stars) of the same
name. He entitled all three co-projects
“Listen Up.” All this after recovering
from brain surgery only a few short
years ago. Greatness such as this is
the most precious asset to the African
American Community! And in that
spirit, this article and this series
-concludes with a prayer for the souls
of Soule/Jazz/Pop Superstars Sammy
Davis Jr. and Sarah Vaughn. . . Peace!
There will be a special tribute
to these two music greats, along with
music from most of the artists in this
article on the Special Black History
Month Affair featuring the Top 30
artists of 1990 at 5pm tomorrow night

Ambition is a wonderful thing. Too bad | don't have any.

| think | get it from my mom. | once asked her what she had
wanted to be when she grew up, and she told me she always
wanted to be a housewife. Of course, | am aspiring a little higher
than that 50's mentality, but at the age of 21, in my third year of
college, | have no clue as to what | want to do or any drive to do
anything.

| finally came to this realization in one of my classes last week,
where we all had to go around the room and tell about our
journalistic experiences. Just about everyone in this class is a
journalism minor, myself included, but the things these people
have done already to further their career left me reeling. All |
have to my credit is a summer interning at WAMC, a public radio
station on Central Avenue. What a fiasco. | almost broke the cart
machine a total of ten times, asked a Palestinian professor a pro-
Israeli question, and was trapped speaking to a representative of
the White Water Rafting Association of America about the pros
and cons of rafting in a Massachusetts reservoir for three hours,
my punishment for being such a bumbling fool.

Oh, | could get an internship pretty easily, I'm sure, but | really
don't want to. | have no desire to work at TVTen, or Metroland, or
wherever. | have no qualifications -- my work experiences include
scooping ice cream for rich people in the Hamptons and cleaning
trash off the beach. Offices make me itch. For the moment, all |
really want to do is go to London and become a bar wench in
some pub. This must be some sort of Peter Pan syndrome,
which upsets me because it's only supposed to affect the men my
sister has dated in the last two years.

| just don't know what to do with my life. My dad wants me to
make a ton of money, to make up for the fact that he spent
$70,000 for my sister to go to law school and she's going to work
for Legal Aid and make less annually than my brother did washing.
dishes at the Boatyard Cafe the summer he was 14. My mom
wants me to win the lottery, which | don't even play, so | can buy
her a summer home. One grandmother wonders why I'm not
married, and the other wants me to take over the New York Times
in a grand coup. None of these sound so hot to me right now. So
much for turning to my family for support.

What sucks is, a lot of people | know that had no direction in
high school are now actually doing things with their lives, like
going into the police academy, and without a doubt will make
more money in one year than I'll ever have in a lifetime (alright,
slight exaggeration, but Suffolk County ‘cops are the highest paid
in the country...). Now the tables are turned, and | have no
direction, which | suppose is what.! get for being a repressed,
good student in high school. Now it's my turn to be aimless and
lazy. Problem is, | like being aimless and lazy. Will | ever find
ANYTHING that makes me happy that requires little effort? (Hey, |
could marry well -- no, that'd take effort)

| just thank God I'm not a senior. Right now | can kid about my
job lethargy, but next year I'll probably be tearing the hair out
strand by strand of people who say, "Graduating, eh? Whatcha
gonna do with the rest of your life?” And I'll be the one beating
people off the ASP computers so | can frantically add one more
creative "special interest" to my resume ("breathing!!! | like
breathing!!!!"). And I'll be the one trying to figure out which non-
academian besides my mother will write me a letter of
recommendation. Or maybe I'll just become a professional
student and get degrees in bizarre subjects like the Sexual
Patterns of Mollusks. Hmmm... wonder how hard it would be to

Give Once Around the Once Over

Movies like Once Around generally

send movie studio executives into fits
of panic, for this film is almost
impossible to describe, let alone
market. I guess the best word you
could use is “quirky” and that usually
translates into box-office D.O.A. I
certainly hope that that is not the case
for this sweet little gem (albeit a bit
flawed) of a film. Those who are
lucky enough to discover it amongst
the cinematic spittle usually released
in January are indeed lucky.

Ed Vaira

Once Around best falls under the
umbrella category of “family” films.
No, this is not a nauseating Disney
comedy, but rather a sophisticated
film that tries to uncover the
complexities that exist in an extended
family. In this case, we learn of the
Bella family of suburban Boston, led
by gruff and proud Joe (the
wonderful Danny Aiello) and slightly
confused but sweet Marilyn (the
equally fine Gena Rowlands). They
are the parents of two somewhat
flaky daughters, Jen and Renata
(Laura San Giacomo and Holly

Hunter). Jan has a fling with a
wedding photographer on her
wedding day and Renata flies off to
Saint Maarten when her fiancé dumps
her. There she meets Sam (Richard
Dreyfuss), a flamboyant and very
lively condo salesman and falls, very
tenuously, in love with him. Sam, on
the other hand, flips head over heels
for Renata, and soon he relocates his
business back to Boston and proceeds
to move into Renata’s life. Here is
where his zesty love of life clashes
-

with the quiet sedate Bella household
and slowly drives everyone nuts.

One of the charms of this film is
how it always keeps one guessing
what’s going to happen next. We
never quite can believe that Sam and
Renata are really in love with each
other because their relationship
moves so fast. That tension is
refreshing and Dreyfuss and Hunter
work very well together in their roles.
This is their second film together
(after last year’s Always), and they

f

All Quiet on the Eastern Seaboard: Richard Dreyfuss has a

suprisingily peaceful meeting with future in-law Danny Aiello

seem very natural, which translates
noticeably onto the screen. The other
actors are also top notch, with Aiello
and Rowlands really clicking as
Renata’s parents. What flaws this
otherwise enjoyable film are the
somewhat spotty script by newcomer
Malia Scotch Marmo and the overly
symbolic direction of Lassé Hallstrom
(My Life as a Dog). Marmo’s script is
usually on mark, nicely blending the
subtle humor with some really
moving dramatic scenes. However,
while the scenes work well
individually, they don’t blend well
together. Marmo needs to work on
her transitions more. As for
Hallstrom’s direction, it’s generally
competent, but he seems to have this
annoying habit of repeating
seemingly meaningless symbols over
and over again, a prime example
being five different shots of a traffic
circle.

Otherwise, Once Around is a
pleasant experience that deserves a
chance to find its own audience and I
would heartily recommend seeking it

Victor DeLorenzo

Peter Corey Sent Me
Chameleon Records

After three years in the making,
Victor DeLorenzo’s first solo attempt
Peter Corey Sent Me finally meets the
public. DeLorenzo, best known as the
somewhat avant garde percussionist
for the Violent Femmes, has produced
an odd, yet interestingly original
expression of himself musically.
Refreshingly, this is not a mimic of
what he helped to produce with the
Femmes, but instead is a compilation
of timeless songs that utilize a wide
variety of musical styles.

Peter Corey Sent Me, or better yet,
Victor DeLorenzo’s music is what I
would expect if someone were to
commission Laurie Anderson, R.E.M.,
and Paul Simon to collaborate on a
musical vision of our world. The
originality of this record has to be
applauded. His music, although very
different, is fun to listen to. I was
pleasantly surprised to hear what a
percussionist can do on a solo
attempt. DeLorenzo is definitely a
very talented musician and he has an
imagination that promises much for

the future.

“I guess I always wanted a record
out with my name on it” noted
DeLorenzo “because you can take all
the chances you want, which is really
important to me.”

Take chances is what DeLorenzo
did, and it payed off in a fun, almost
folky album. This is definitely a
listening record and not something to
pull out to lift spirits at a party. From
track to track, it almost sounds as if
someone has changed the record.
Several songs carry a folky, almost
country-western beat. Others haunt
with a methodic beat and lyrics that
draw us into DeLorenzo’s personality
(seary!). One track “Miss Miranda
Walks Away” has a jazz march that
throws the album’s focus all about in a
classy way.

Peter Corey Sent Me is an imaginative
yet somewhat realist escape from
today. The album draws us into a
musical vision of the world. What
word, I’m not quite sure, but the
experience of listening to an album
and forgetting the hear and now can
be rather positive, especially in times
like these.

Screaming Trees
Uncle Anesthesia
Epic

Screaming Trees are a band that

consistently turn out great songs. By
great, I mean richly melodic (but not
sappy), real intelligent songs with
superb musicianship to boot.
Throughout their six year history,
they’ve written songs other bands
have wet dreams about. Rumor has it
that there are reels of unreleased Trees
songs somewhere out there. Their
heavy but not too dense guitar sound
is immediately identifiable and
irresistible, but impossible to
pigeonhole or adequately describe.

With a track record like this, critical
hosannas piling up like last weeks
laundry, the inevitable happened.
Signed to a major label, folks thought
the Trees would lose their edge.
\Uncle Anesthesia comes as a relief to
old fans, and a blast of fresh air to the
rest of the world. Gary Lee Conner’s
godlike guitar glory of old is still
present, Mark Lanegan’s voice has
still got a gravelly bottom, Van
Conner’s bass still thunders in your

ears and Mark Pickerel (who has
since left the band) ties it together
with his intricate kitwork.

There are no dull moments on this
record. You can listen to it for weeks
(I did) and never get tired of it. It
would sound fantastic on your stereo
at home, your car, or your local radio
station, rock or college. No ranting
and raving, no half-unintelligible
(and unintelligent) lyrics. “Bed Of
Roses”, “Closer” and “Alice Said”
sport soaring melodies with a ringing
guitar. The title track, “Uncle
Anethesia,” has got a matchless wah-
wah sting, with a chorus that clings to
your thoughts like Saran Wrap.
Perhaps the most haunting song on
the album is “Before We Arise,” a
spooky bass based song with equally
chilling background vocals. Uncle
Anesthesia alludes to past Trees
records, taking bits and pieces of
history and in the process create
something very different, very
pleasurable, and very excellent. The
first LP of 1991 worth every cent you
pay for it. A must for all.

Isolationism best for U.S.

To the Editor:

As I read the article in your Tuesday issue about the
pro-war rally, I couldn’t believe some of the things that
were said.

Nick Raio said that the protesters based their whole
argument on the assumption that the U.S. is fighting only
for oil. I will have him know that when I marched in
Washington last Saturday, I saw signs saying to end the
war for environmentalist reasons, signs expressing anti-
imperialist sentiments, and signs saying that war for any
reason was bad. This variety goes to show that the war is
being protested in many levels.

Victor Brocobio said that we need to protect our
economy. I couldn’t agree more; we need to protect our
economy from dependence on foreign markets.

Chris Sandor, the chairman of the College
Republicans, said, “We see all the liberals on campus
protesting but they don’t have a reason why we should
leave.” Well, Chris, I was a vice-president of the New
York State Teenage Republicans, a position liberals don’t
qualify for, and I’m asking you to give me a reason we
should be there in the first place. To protect democracies?
To secure the minimal amount of oil that we export from
these countries? To show the world that we really are a
super-power? Our country should heed the parting advice
of our first president and follow a policy of isolationism.
The College Republicans should stop spending time
bashing other campus organizations and shrouding
themselves in secrecy, and spend their time re-aligning
themselves with the party they profess to represent!

""Womyn" need to feel safe

To the Editor:

T have been increasingly concerned with the amount of
harassment on this campus. More and more womyn have
been victims of this crime, which leaves them fearful for
their property, safety or even their lives.

I am writing this in light of a recent incident which
occurred on the Podium. She went in to report this act to
Campus Life, as it is an obvious infringement of
University policy. The man followed her, verbally
harassing her the entire time. As she filled out a
complaint in the office, he leaned over her, and
whispered, “You're dead.”

Her life was threatened.

Womyn on this campus need to feel that their safety is
a priority. This semester, the Student Association has
made a commitment to womyn’s safety, and related
issues. There has been increased awareness throughout
the whole student body. We have to support one another,
and stand up for one another. I suggest that if you are
concerned for this womyn’s safety, or the safety of all
womyn in general, you write to the University Police
Department, thanking them for their concern and
committment to womyn on this campus, and urge them to
actively follow up all reports of harassment, and assault.

Jessica Mann
Womyn’s Issues Coordinator

War coverage is biased

To the Editor:

It seems frightfully apparent that the United States has
entered a useless war. It is splashed all across the
Network Media, newspapers, magazines and other
sources of information. The coverage of these forms of
news information is extremely biased in one direction -
the pro-war mentality.

During the first months of Operation Desert Shield, a
majority, if not all, the so-called ‘experts’ on the Network
news (ie. ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC) had professed that the
United States should move toward confrontation, a war,
if necessary. I wonder where the doves were? It seems as
if the National media was so much hooked on the pro-
war sentiment of ‘King George’ that the group as a
whole, forgot their purpose: to report all sides of the
story. If the Peace movement’s feelings were being
revitalized, their activities were down played in the
papers and on television as only ‘fringe group’ offerings.
“Only the true ultra left would dare support peace in this
present conflict,” as is the basic premise of the reporting
that network media has broadcasted to me, an acting ‘’joe
observer.’ This is at least my impression, and only the
alternative news sources have been reporting the other
side.

I truly do wonder what the national media has to hide
in their present style of reporting. Gee, maybe people of
this country may not want to die on the sands of Iraq?
Maybe there are more pressing social problems that must
be answered first. If coverage is not blatantly biased, it
rivals true censorship or the active internment of
alternative points of view. I have not seen or heard of
discussions with Noam Chomsky, or Seymour Melman
or other intellectuals of similar backgrounds at the same
discussion with other experts on ABC or NBC. Although
I have not watched this form of media every day (I try to
avoid it if possible), I do have a very sharp impression of
their reporting; pro-militaristic solutions and strong
support of the military industrial complex. I wonder
why? Who owns NBC? GE, a major defense contractor.

I can not exactly say where my own political beliefs
are anymore. I am definitely in support of this particular
war, but I would be willing to fight against the South
African government, or the Right-Wing government of El
Salvador. I am definitely disillusioned with our political
system at the same time. The fact that I did not learn
about African (Afro-American, Black) history prior to
entering this University is an insult to those people of the
ethnic group and our education system as a whole. I do
not support the Ultra right or Ultra left, even though I do
have leanings toward one, more so than the other. It is
hard to distinguish which side is more fascistic in their
propaganda; the neo-conservatives who draw on their
false sense of patriotism and flag waving, or people of
the politically correct mode, who will outrightly object to
anything that support unequivocally. Both act in away
that seems self-serving, and I will not tolerate the dogma
from either side. I want to think and not be manipulated
by those few who wish to control my views, and my

voice while they attempt to brainwash me.

I will say that for those of you who do wish to hear
another perspective on the media, either subscribe to
EXTRA, a newsletter published by the group FAIR
(Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, or In These Times).
If you would rather listen, then tune in to WRPI 91.5 fm
Troy for Pacifica news, weekdays at 6:30 p.m. for a half
an hour of news, Also WRPI has a public affairs show on
Sundays from 8 to 10 p.m., where various perspectives
are voiced and programs like Consider the Alternatives,
and Voices of the Americas are heard. Unfortunately,
Peace Radio, which was aired on this station for more
than ten years, is no longer on the air. Live broadcasts of
speeches and discussions with local and national activists
were heard, including national intellectuals Noam
Chomsky and Seymour Melman and others were heard.

Thanks for your time.

Zionists have" chutzpah"

To the Editor:

Chutzpah. There are different ways to translate this
yiddish expression, but most have negative connotations.
Usually, it is translated as nerve or gall. To use chutzpah
in a sentence, one could say that certain individuals in the
‘Coalition to the War’ have chutzpah. Not everyone, but
acertain few, who lead among other groups, coalition for
the P.L.O. (Palestinian Rights), the Socialists and
Communists clubs, Protest Project (aka Peace Project),
SCARR, etc. There is an obvious trend here. Among
other issues, all these groups oppose Israel’s right to exist
and would rather see Jews living in Aushwitz then in
Israel. They say they are Zionist when they really mean
Anti-semitic. They say they believe in the “inalienable
tights of the Palestinian People” when they really mean
the complete annihilation of the state of Israel. They use
false guises to lure innocent students to swallow their
hate-filled ideology, but that is not the real chutzpah. The
real chutzpah is when they say that they support the
American troops . Right. These same people, who would
sooner burn an American flag than recite the Pledge of
Allegiance suddenly feel for the American troops. These
same people who are anti-Armed forces “support” our
troops all of a sudden, That’s the real chutzpah! Why
aren’t these groups honest? Say what you mean, don’t
use false pretenses to lure support. How is it that these
wanna-be hippies suddenly feel for U.S. troops? What
they really mean is that the U.S. should not stop Saddam
Hussein, who can then attack and conquer the rest of his
neighbors and develop a nuclear bomb to launch a
Holocaust with. These same people, who applauded for
Saddam Hussein when he threatened to “scorch half of
Israel with chemical weapons” and cheered when he sent
Scud missiles to Tel Aviv and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia don’t
give a damn about U.S. troops. They are really saying
that Saddam Hussein is their hero ( although why
socialists and communists support an ultra-fascist like the
Butcher of Baghdad ? ) and no one should stand up to his
aggression. That’s the real chutzpah!

Lorne Newman
President of RZA/Tagar

P.S. This letter was written to expose the above
mentioned groups for their chutzpah.Tthere are real
concerned people in the coalition who are honest about
their feelings and just have a different opinion.
Unfortunately, these innocent people with good
intentions are lured into the “coalition” and indoctrinated
by the above -mentioned groups.

educated work force,” Donahue
said.

Representing 21,000
university employees, the United
University Professions (UUP)
pointed out the need to avoid any
more cutbacks in the education
systém.

“What’s more important than
education in the world today?”
asked Mike Kelley of the
University of Plattsburgh.

“With our hearts and minds we
must question their idea of
fairness. We are men and women
living and struggling together,”
said John Reilly, president of
UUP.

Protesters travelled from all
over the state to voice their
opinions, including Buffalo,
Plattsburgh and Long Island.

“We came to make ourselves
publicly known. We want to
restore jobs and services,” said
Bob Hanke, Division 172, PEF.

“Cut the fat but not the
muscle,” Hanke said.

“Save the jobs for the little
guy. They had their party, let
them pay the bill,” said George
Ballard, vice president of Local
507, CSEA.

Vigil

Continued from front page
Association, and the Coalition
for a Just Community.

The “reflection vigil,” had
special meaning for several
students who attended.

C.J. Twomley, vice president
of Phi Kappa Sigma, stood on
top of the small fountain, passing
out candles from a cardboard
box to the crowd below.

“One of our brothers, Dan
Medhi, has been over there since
August,” said Twomley. “We
wanted this (vigil) to happen
because we wanted to show how
much we care about each other,
how much we miss him...we’re
happy to see the turnout that
we've got here...this is really
something,” he said.

Central Council representative
Tom Schevlin and SA
comptroller Ed Fagan were two
of the student leaders at the vigil.
Shevlin’s colleague on Central
Council, Transportation Director
Christopher Holmes, was one of
the SUNYA students sent to
Saudi Arabia to take part in
Operation Desert Storm.

Last week, Central Council
passed a resolution to praise
Holmes for his contributions to
the Council and the University
community.

Both Faulhaber and Twomley
said they were pleased that the
vigil did not evolve into any kind
of rally. “It’s just a beautiful
thing to see,” Faulhaber said, as
he lifted an participant up onto
the small fountain.

Rev. Marc Brice-Baum of
Chapel House, said he has also
pleased with the vigil. “We just
want people out there to know
that we are available to help
them deal with any problems
they may have with the war.”

ASP

SASU

Continued from front page

A part of the overall plan
includes slashing approximately
2,338 campus jobs, according to
the governor’s division of
budget.

Obach echoed Krebs
sentiments concerning Cuomo’s
proposals, and said SASU plans
to “mobilize students against
such actions.”

“We think that it (the
governor’s proposed budget) will
have a devastating impact on the
SUNY system,” Obach said. He
also said the title “public
institution” will be a misnomer,
because many students will be
unable to afford a SUNY
education if the tuition increases
and the cuts are made.

Obach said the group would
first target Cuomo himself in an
effort to get him alter his
proposal, then, if those efforts
are unsuccessful, they would
focus on the legislature to make
the changes. He said SASU’s
goals are to stop the tuition hike
and restore the entire $150
million SUNY budget cut.

Obach stated the proposed
measures were an extremely
unfair blow to SUNY students in
general.

“Cuomo says we all need to do
our share,” Obach said. “But
(under the current proposed
budget) SUNY will be
contributing $150 million, while
at the same time the wealthiest
New Yorker’s aren’t paying an
extra cent in income tax. This
flagrantly displays how the

students are being tured to pay
the deficit.”

As was the case with the
tuition hike and TAP cuts for the
current semester, Cuomo
explained next year’s proposal is
a result of the state budget crisis.

But SASU executive vice
president Mary Kate Cullen said
she feels the current proposals
will only worsen the crisis in the
long term.

“By harming SUNY, the
recession will only get worse,”
Cullen said. “Business in New
York State will not be able to
survive without an adequate
supply of educated workers.
Nothing will drive us deeper into
this recession than destroying
our public higher education
system.”

Herpes virus might speed AIDS

By Kim Painter

The nation’s most controversial
AIDS researcher continues to
bolster his theory that a common
herpes virus can speed up the
progression of AIDS.

But Dr. Robert Gallo of the
National Cancer Institute stressed
Wednesday that his latest work
does not suggest the human
immunodeficiency virus can’t
cause full-blown AIDS by itself:
“In my mind, there’s no question
that HIV is the etiological agent
in AIDS.”

In today’s (Thursday’s) Nature,
researchers from Gallo’s lab
report that human herpes virus
type 6 can make certain immune

system cells vulnerable to HIV
by prompting them to make a
protein targeted by HIV.

Lab dish studies have also
shown HHV-6 can infect and kill
the same cells HIV infects and
kills. Yet most people carry
HHV-6 without apparent ill
effect. Gallo suggests it becomes
a threat only when the immune
system is first undermined by
HIV. The viruses may then work
in concert to destroy immunity
faster than HIV alone. So,
finding drugs to stop HHV-6
might help.

Albany swimmers suffer twin losses to Binghamton

By Leon Feingold
STAFF WRITER

The SUNY Albany swim teams
competed in a home meet Saturday
against perennial rival SUNY
Binghamton. The anticipation turned into
disappointment for the Danes, however,
as the men’s team was trounced by the
Colonials, 148-73. The women’s team
fared better, but was nipped by
Binghamton, 119-105.

The coach of both Albany teams, David
Turnage, was not excessively
disheartened, noting that the Danes did
show bright spots in defeat.

One such bright spot for the men’s team
(1-8) was freshman T.J. Davis, who set a
personal best in the 200 meter freestyle.
His time of 1:54.30 placed him second in
the race. Turnage declared Davis
‘Swimmer of the Meet,’ as he was also
second in the 100M freestyle and a
member of the winning 200M freestyle
relay team that clocked 3:27.53. The other
members of that relay were Steven Stern,
Ken Brandas, and the previous Saturday’s
“Swimmer of the Meet,’ Larry Hassos.

Individually, Stern was third in the 50M
freestyle, and Hassos won the 1000M
freestyle (10:46.46) by nearly a full
minute. Hassos and Brandas also teamed

with Axel Ward and Mark Potash to place
second in the 400M medley relay.

In the 200M breaststroke, Ward’s time
of 2:40.37 was good enough for first.

Other Dane performances include:
Scott Horn - second in the 200M
breaststroke; captain David Bentley -
third in the 200 individual medley; Dan
Coffey - third in the 200M breaststroke;
and Rob Sullivan - third in the 500M
freestyle.

Turnage named captain Kim McDonald
the women’s team ‘Swimmer of the Meet’
for the second time in two weeks. She
won the 100M breaststroke, placed
second in the 200M individual medley,
and (along with Siobhan Martinko, Sarah
Klein, and Karen Greiten) captured the
400M medley relay.

Turnage noted that Martinko had a
strong meet, too. She was a member of
the first-place 400M freestyle relay team,
which finished in 4:00.33, and she won
the 100M backstroke (1:06.2). According
to her coach, Martinko has never lost an
individual backstroke race, and is ranked
second statewide.

Klein, Greiten, and Megan Fairlie were
the other three members of the winning
400M freestyle relay squad, and each
performed well in their individual

improvement encouraging for women's track

Despite early season difficulties, the SUNY Albany women’s indoor track appears to}
be peaking as they head into the second half of the season. Last Sunday, they placed in|
ithe top six in seven events at the Hamilton Invitational, including two first-place
performances by freshman Heartwill Barko-boateng and Susan Johnston.
Barko-boateng sprinted past her competitors to first-place in the 55-meter dash with,
la time of 7.88 seconds and was quicker than all but one competitor in the 200M run,
coming in second at 28.41. Breathing down her neck in the 2000M was teammate|
Francia Crump. The senior sprinter finished right behind Barko-boateng with a third-|
best time of 28.74. Head coach Ron White was very pleased with Barko-boateng’s
Sunday’s afternoon.

“She’s short, compact, and quick so that it (55M dash) is a perfect event for her,”|
|White said. “She was runner-up in the 200 with what I’d consider a pretty good early]
season time, so she had a nice double.”

Johnston produced “the best shot put of her life,” according to White, and the best in|
lher event on Sunday, as she notched a first-place finish with a throw of 35 feet, eight]
3/4 inches,

“We're quite happy with her progress,” White said. “It looks like she’ll be right up|
there with the top six throwers in the state and possibly top six in the ECAC.”

The 4 x 400M relay team, which White says has Penn Relay potential,” generated a)
time of 4:27.4 for a third-place finish. The team consisted of Crump, freshman Letitiaj
Tish” Lamanga and sophomores Cara Pace and Tiery Samuels. Pace and Samuels|
both augmented their 4 x 400M performances by placing in individual events. Pace ran|
what White termed an “aggressive” 55M hurdles, and finished third at 10.29, while]
Samuels, in her first meet since last season, grabbed sixth place in the 400M run at
12:31.6.

Junior middle-distance runner Fiorella Finetti was able to place fourth in the 1000M)
run at 3:20.74. Finetti’s time was about a second away from qualifying her for state|
competition, White said. Rounding out the Lady Dane finishers was another middle-
distance runner, sophomore Sue Ebel, whose 12:31.6 time in the 3000 was good]
enough for sixth place.

White said Hamilton was definitely a tune-up, especially for the Danes' next two!
meets, the Southern Connecticut Invitational and the Collegiate Track Championship,
also at So. Connecticut.

“We'll have outstanding competition,” White said. “Also we’re going to be on the|
track that we'll be running on the week after next at the CTC.”

Familiarity will prove to be a boon in the CTC, White said.

“It gives our high jumpers and our throwers a chance to come off the same
approaches and platforms,” White said. “Our runners and hurdlers will be able to come!
}off the same texture track and they'll get to know the turns and lengths of the track.”

competitions. Greiten placed second in
the 100M butterfly, and Fairlie took third
in both the 50M and 100M freestyles.
Other top-three finishers were:
Michelle Trudell - third in the 1000M
freestyle and second in the 500M
freestyle; Fiona Regan - third in the 100M
backstroke; Daphna Sprinzeles - second
in the 100M backstroke; and the team of

Diving has been a strong point for the women's swim team this year.

Trudell, Regan, Tara Speiss, and
Sprinzeles - second in the 400M freestyle
Telay.

Divers Brenda Braun and Katy Duncan
placed one-two with 208.55 and 173.45
points, respectively.

Both teams will be in action on
Saturday, home at 1:00 against

Running indoor track imposes an extra
burden on competitors. A slow track or
hard running surface (boards) can slow
down runners by several seconds.

This past weekend the Albany men’s
track team competed at two meets where
the above was the case.

Their first competition was the Millrose
Games at Madison Square Garden. A new
track was laid down and times suffered
considerably.

The Danes had one team entered - their
4 x 400 meter relay team that has
qualified for the nationals.

This team sophomore Steve
Rocomboli, junior Wilfredo Rodriguez,
junior Will Campana, and sophomore
Howie Sellers - finished second in their
heat (3:25.57) behind Penn State.

Albany competed next at the Capital
District Track Championships at RPI. The
Danes showed their prowess, winning for
the third year in a row. They took 14 out
of 18 events and compiled 127 points,
their highest total at this meet to date.

In the 50 meter dash, freshman Andre
Rush won in 5.9 seconds, tying the school
record. Taking second was senior Jose
Maymi (6.1).

Albany also went one-two in the 50
meter hurdles. Winning for Albany was
senior Juan Sanchez in a personal record
(p.t.) 7.0 seconds. Second place went to
sophomore Courtney Smith (7.3).

In the 400M, Albany again took first,
this time sophomore Alex Vasquez, with a
time of 54.7 seconds.

In the 500, sophomore Cecil Kelly gave
Albany yet another first place finish,
crossing the line in 1:10.0.

Moving to the middle and longer
distances, Albany continued their
resurgence, winning four out of five
distances and the distance relay (4 x 800).

In the 800, freshman David White
captured first in 2:06.4. At 1000 meters,
senior Scott McNamara gave Albany
another victory, winning in 2:36.2.

In the 1500 meters, Albany took second
and third, Joe McCullen (4:01.6) and Joe
Ahearn (4:08.7), respectively.

In the 3000 meters, Albany swept the
top three spots. Leading the way was

freshman Bill Vanos (9:.01.5) and
following him were junior Chuck Tanner
(9:10.3) and Ahearn (9:24.8).

The Danes finished their dominance in
the distance events as freshman Todd
Rodgers took the 5000 in 16:14.0.

Albany swept both relays. The one-mile
Telay team of Sanchez, White, Rush and
Kelly took first in 3:37.2 and the two-mile
telay team of Gregorio Luciano, White,
Kelly and McNamara won in 8:32.0.

In the shot put, sophomore Brad Dean
took first with a throw of 45 feet and
freshman Dimitri Jacotin took second
with a 43’5” toss.

The long and triple jumps were also
swept by Albany. Transfer Peter Rugel
filled a much needed hole in Albany’s
roster, as he won the triple jump with a
46°6” effort and the long jump with a leap
of 2278”.

The pole vault hold no surprises, with
state champion Tom Mead winning with a
vault of 14”, Taking second was freshman
Darrin Webb (13°6”).

“The team is starting to pull together
and this is an indication of our depth,”
said Danes coach Roberto Vives.

This weekend makes another first for
the men’s track team. They will be
competing at the U.S. Olympic Festival
and for the first time an individual has
qualified for competition. Sellers earned
this honor when he set a school record in
the 500 meters. Most of the other runners
will be resting in preparation for the CTC
Championships on February 16 and 17 in
Connecticut.

Fredette, Saint Rose triumph over listless Lady Danes

By Patrick Cullen
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Lady Danes suffered from
a lack of intensity in the early
going and an inability to control
the offensive glass on Monday,
which contributed to its fourth
loss in a row, 63-55, to local
Division II adversary College of
Saint Rose.

“We were really lethargic in
the first ten minutes of the first
half,” said Albany coach Mari
Warner. This was contrary to the
previous game against Nazareth,
in which the Lady Danes showed
unusual ferocity from the
opening tip.

Warner tried shuffling the
lineup during the game in order
to stir up the Albany attack. She
said, “I thought trying different
combinations of players might
help us put a little life back into
our game.”

‘With the score tied at 11 and
11:32 left in the first half, Saint
Rose embarked on a 12-2 run,
started by two consecutive three-
pointers by Jolene Fredette and
ended by two free throws by
Fredette.

Albany settled down after the
tun, but was unable to cut the
Golden Flyers’ lead to less than
seven, The score at the half was
36-29, Saint Rose.

Albany got the lead down to
six with 11:46 remaining in the
second period, but Saint Rose
put the game away with a 9-2
run that turned a six-point lead
into a 13-point gap.

Warner thought that her squad
played a much better second half
than first. “I was happy to see
that the team came out with more
intensity in the second half.” She
added, “I grilled the players at
halftime and basically told them
that if they don’t want to give
100 percent during the game,
that they won’t get to play.”

Noticeably absent from the
second half lineup was Ikeuchi
Franklin, the Lady Danes
Starting center. “Ikeuchi must
learn that we need her best
efforts on defense as well as on
the offensive end.”

The Lady Danes may have lost
the services of starting guard
Laurie Annunziato for the next
game or two. With 16:50 to go in
the second half and the Golden
Flyers up by four, she jumped
high in the air to block a pass at
mid court and landed flat on her
back. Annunziato walked off
under her own power but
experienced back spasms after
the game. Warner saluted
Annunziato for her scrapiness
and said she’ll miss her presence

SENIOR EDITOR

If someone told you that
Albany trailed by four and then
came out in the second half and
shot a meager 30 percent from
the floor on Tuesday, what would
you conclude? Well, think again.

Following a 38 1/2 minute
offensive performance that
resembled something out of a
Doc Sauers nightmare, the Great
Danes mounted a last minute
change en route to a 52-50
overtime victory over Eastern
Connecticut (8-12) in University
Gym.

Down 48-42 with 1:20
remaining in regulation, Albany
(12-10) went on a 7-1 run,
including five by Michael Shene,
to send the contest into overtime.

Freshman Bob Miller, in a
tepeat of some late game heroics
that he displayed against
Potsdam, buried an eight-foot
jumper to cap off the spurt with
103 left.

“We came back,” said Sauers,
who picked up his 592nd career
victory as Albany head coach.
“We could’ ve died out there. We
showed a lot of heart.”

For Shene, it was a personal
triumph, as the senior captain
became the 17th player in
Albany history to break 1,000
points. His game-high 17 points

on the court.

After a couple of off-games,
Michele Traver returned to old
form, scoring 11 points and
collecting 10 rebounds. Faith
Miller, who Warner thinks has
been the most consistent Lady
Dane as of late, also scored 11
points. Point guard Tonya
Morrissey had seven points and
nine rebounds, five coming off
the offensive glass.

Fredette wore out the Lady
Danes in the early going, scoring
10 of her 24 points in the first ten
minutes. Josette Reintzel added
15 on 7-8 shooting for Saint
Rose.

Albany continued its shooting
woes, only converting 38 percent
of its shots. Saint Rose wasn’t
much better, with 39 percent
shooting from the floor. The
Lady Danes were 7-10 (70
percent) from the line, whereas
the Golden Flyers were an
atrocious 9-26 (35 percent) from
the charity stripe.

Saint Rose had the advantage
on the offensive boards, 21-12,
and converted many of those
boards into points. This sunk the
Lady Danes down the stretch,

Saturday and Utica College on
Monday. Both games are at 7:00
p.m. in the University Gym.

moved him into 15th place on
the Great Dane all-time scoring
list with 1,015.

“It’s a sigh of relief to get it
over with,” Shene said.

The overtime period, just as in
regulation, wasn't exactly an
offensive showcase.

Alex McClean put the Danes
in front with a hook shot in the
lane with 4:30 to go.

Bunky Gonzales drew the
Warriors to within one after he
connected on the first of a pair of
free throws at the 2:21 mark.
Albany’s Steve Ries tallied the
game’s last point with :07
remaining by converting the
back end of two charity shots.

“We didn’t give it to Albany,
they took it,” said Eastern
Connecticut head coach Daniel
Switchenko. “We just didn’t
know how to win.”

Despite shooting only 29.8
percent from the floor, the
Warriors’ slow-down offense
threw Albany slightly out of
synch,

“We knew that they wouldn’t
be expecting that type of
offense,” Switchenko said.

As the Danes enter the stretch
drive of their season, Sauers has
to be scratching his head a bit
when reflecting upon the year.

“It’s been a testing year,”

Sauers said. “We've had a
terrible practice situation due to
class conflicts. It’s been one
battle after another. It can really
take a lot out of you.”

The last time Albany did not
make the post-season was during
the 1987-88 season in which the
Danes were coached by Barry
Cavanaugh. Sauers took a year
off that season. The last time
Sauers found himself without
post-season plans was during the
1975-76 campaign.

With four games remaining,
the only thing that is certain is
that Albany will not be returning
to the NCAA Tournament.

If the Danes win their
remaining four, they are almost
guaranteed a berth to the ECAC
Tournament. Three out of four
may also get them a bid. Because
of a school regulation that
prevents teams from going to
post-season with under a 60
percent winning percentage,
however, special permission
would need to be granted to take
the bid with a 15-11 (.577)
record.

Albany plays their final home
match of the season on Saturday
in a make up game with Ithaca
College. The Danes will then
ere to Hartwick for a Sunday
