Move toward integration persists

By Kent Bronson
STAFF WRITER

Caribbean integration, its past, present and
future, a topic that has persisted throughout
the history of the Caribbean, was addressed
on April 16 in a speech at SUNY Albany by
Dr. Kenneth Hall. a Jamaican native, who
has studied extensively in the Caribbean and
is an expert on the Caribbean nations.

Hall said even though previous efforts at
integration have failed, movements toward
political and economic integration have
persisted because some still feel such a move
would benefit the region both as a whole and
as individual islands.

The movement for a more unified
Caribbean began in the 17th century, when
many felt the islands were too small to be
self-sufficient, Hall said.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, when the
islands were under British colonial rule,
several proposals were made toward
consolidation in order to increase the
administrative efficiency and reduce cost,
but these proposals were sometimes
violently rejected by the Islands because it
was felt the resulting central government
would be less able to serve all of the islands,
and would threaten local self government as
well, Hall said. As a result, the proposals

never produced any lasting effects.

“There was considerable local opposition
to the idea of bringing these islands within
the same framework,” Hall said.

The movement for integration was
revitalized in the 1920s and 1930s by a wave
of Caribbean nationalism supported by
various political parties and labor
movements that called for independence.

“In order to deal with this question...(of)
the desire for independence, on the one hand,
and the notion that independent countries
must be viable, that is they should have
resources, they should have the capacity to
sustain their own development. Between
those two, one of the options chosen was the
idea that these islands should be federated to
form a single state which would be viable
economically and be sustainable politically
over time,” Hall said.

The idea persisted until 1958 when a
federation of ten Caribbean states was
formed under a single government in the
hopes that it would eventually lead to a West
Indian State, Hall said. However, due to
dissatisfaction with the weakness of the
central government, the consolidation was
short-lived, and in 1962, Jamaica voted to
leave the federation, and was shortly
followed by the other members.

Another effort at integration was
attempted in 1964 with the establishment of
a purely economic association, and in 1973
this integration was expanded to include
health and education agencies as well.

Hall said the current system of integration,
the Caribbean Community (Caricom) was
formed in 1973 and currently includes many
of the island nations, such as Antigua, the

Famous director dies

London, England
(AP) Sir David Lean, the Academy
Award-winning director of “Lawrence of
Arabia” and “Bridge on the River Kwai,”
died Tuesday with one last epic production
beyond his reach.

Lean, 83, fell ill in January after
announcing a date for the filming of
“Nostromo,” based on Joseph Conrad’s
novel. The project absorbed his final
years.

“When you get over 80 the pressures are
worse than they ever were,” Lean said in
an interview with The Associated Press
last year.

He died Tuesday as his home in
London, said his attorney, Tony Reeves,
The cause of death was not immediately
made public.

“He worked right up to the end, didn’t
he, and what an achievement that was,”
said Dame Peggy Ashcroft, who won an
Oscar in Lean’s “A Passage to India” and
remembered the director as “an absolute
perfectionist.”

Lean was born March 25, 1908 in
Croydon, south of London, and got into
the movie business in 1928 as a number-
board boy at Gaumont studios.

Israeli farm attacked

Beit Shean, Israel
(AP) A guerrilla squad infiltrated an
Israeli collective farm from Jordan
Wednesday, killing an Israeli civilian and
wounding three others, the army command
said.
The army said one guerrilla was killed.
The army said there appeared to be two
guerrillas, and that soldiers were searching
for the second one.

It was the second infiltration in as many
days in the area of Neve Ur, a kibbutz, or
communal farm, of several hundred
people in northern Israel.

The army said the infiltrators entered
the farm about 8:45 am and ambushed a
tractor that was pulling a trailer in an
orchard.

“The manager of the orchard came
running and said there were shots and
there were wounded people,” Zvili Nir, the
farm’s secretary, told Israel radio.
“Everyone immediately grabbed their
weapons and ran to the road and the
orchard to treat the wounded and look for
the terrorists.”

The attack came during Memorial Day
observances, when Israel commemorates
the 17,150 soldiers killed since the Jewish
state was founded 43 years ago.

‘PREVIEW OF EVENTS

The
College fires kills three

Oakland; California
(AP) A young man drew two years in
prison for starting a fraternity house fire
at the University of California at Berkley
that killed three students.

Brian Hilton, 23, of Pleasanton, had
pleaded no contest to involuntary
manslaughter and recklessly setting the
blaze at Phi Kappa Sigma the night of
Sept. 8. Hilton, who was not a Berkley
student, was visiting the house.

Police said Hilton and a friend were
playing with a lighter, and a sofa caught
fire. The two put out the fire and left, but
the sofa re-ignited, authorities said.

Hilton could have received up to nine
years in prison Tuesday from Superior
Court Judge Stanley Golde.

Gene Nelson, stepfather of 21-year-old
victim Robert Sciutto, said, “We’re
satisfied with the sentence, but we'd be
more satisfied if our children were alive.”

Also killed were Ryan W. Hamilton,
19, or Sacramento, and Natalia James, 19,
of Portola Valley.

Soldiers charged

Fayetteville, North Carolina
(AP) Three soldiers will be court-
martialed on charges of unpremeditated
murder in the death of an Army reservists
at Fort Bragg last year, a post spokesman
said.
General court-martials are tentatively
scheduled in mid-May for Cpl. Harold D.
Wheeler, 24, Cpl. Richard S. Tripp, 26,
and Spec. Dan L. Johnston III, 20, of the
1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment,

10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum,
N.Y.

The soldiers are charged in the Dec.
13 death of Staff Sgt. Robert E. Stocton,
27, of Route 2, Hampton, Tenn. Sgt.
Stocton died in Cape Fear Vallet Medical
Center. He had a severe head injury that
he received in a fight on post Dec. 11,
officials said.

Stocton, a practical nurse with the
912th Army Surgical Unit, joined the
Reserves in December 1984. He had
been assigned to Fort Bragg in
November and was preparing to be sent
to Saudi Arabia.

Gays fight battle

New York
(AP) Gay couples cannot legally marry,
and joint adoption has been sanctioned
only in a handful of cases. So before a
custody battle can even began, the court
first has to define parental rights - and
who has them.

That definition is at the heart of a case
being considered by the Court of
Appeals in Albany, N.Y., which heard
arguments last month and is expected to
issue a decision later this spring.

Two women identified only as
Virginia M. and Alison D. used artificial
insemination to conceive and bear a son
in 1981. When the relationship ended in
1983, Virginia - the biological parent -
agreed to allow her partner regular visits.

But four years later, Virginia was
dissatisfied and decided to end the
arrangement. A lower court ruled in
1988 that Alison had no right to see the
boy because state law generally limits
such access to parents, grandparents and
siblings.

“Our argument is that you’re either a
mommy or a daddy or you’re not,” said
attorney Anthony G. Maccarini, who
represents the biological mother. “The
courts protect above all the biological
parent’s rights.”

Girl kicked off team

Penn Yan
(AP) A freshman at Penn Yan Academy
is fighting a decision by school officials
to keep her off the boys lacrosse team.

The school, located about 50 miles
southeast of Rochester in the Finger
Lakes, doesn’t have a girls lacrosse team.
So earlier this spring, 15-year-old
Soupany “Pok” Sayavong asked to play
on the boys team.

Her request was denied by athletic
director Donald Meyer and school
physician Dr. Michael Boquard, who
said they were afraid she would get hurt.
School board members upheld the
decision by Meyer and Boquard.

“She is not a victim of sex
discrimination or of physical ability. She
is a victim of the liability problem,”
Boquard said. “Lacrosse is designed as a
boys sport. I cannot assume that liability
for the school.”

"There is no greater liability exposure
for the school with a girl who is fit to
play than a boy," said Catherine Weiss,
who has been working on the case.
Sayavong plans to take officials to court
for sex discrimination.

Weitz and Sharpe voted into office
Referendums receive overwhelming support from students

By Tom Murnane
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

In a close race for the Student
Association (SA) presidency
yesterday, Bill Weitz defeated
opponent Jose Maymi by a
narrow margin of 64 votes, 502-
438.

The race for the SA presidency
was clean this year, evident from
the positive campaigns of both
Weitz and Maymi.

“Jose and I get along well,”
Weitz said. “We each believed in
ourselves and our own merits, so
we didn’t need to sink to
mudslinging tactics.”

Sharply contrasting the close
presidential race, newcomer
Nicole Sharpe trounced
incumbent Larry Diamond for
the SA vice-presidency in a
landslide victory, 648-319.

“The turnout was between 13-14
percent of the undergraduate
student body, well over the 10
percent required,” Austin said.
Austin credited NYPIRG for
having a positive influence on
the voter turnout for the
elections. Before and up until the
polling places closed Wednesday
night, NYPIRG staffers canvased
the uptown and downtown

cafeterias and in some
classrooms, reminding students

said that his co-workers had
noticed many students “had no
idea what the activity fee
referendum meant,” so they
began lobbying for its approval
as well.

also stood by the bus stop near
Dutch Quad Wednesday
morning, urging students on their

By an almost identical vote,
both the NYPIRG and activity

percent approval from voters.

The controversial part-time
student activity fee referendum
was passed, and so were the
United States Student
Association (USSA) and Student
Association of the State
University (SASU) referendums.

“The part-time activity fee is
basically taxation without
representation,” outgoing Central
Council representative Sandor
Silverman said at a Council
meeting several weeks ago.
“Don’t you find it strange that
the part-time students weren’t
allowed to vote on a referendum

because they failed to receive the
60 percent required by policy,
the two referendums will be
decided on by Central Council in
an emergency continue of
‘Wednesday night’s session.
Since Central Council had
voted the increased activity fee

Dean receives Fulbright Award

By Natalie Adams
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Sung Bok Kim, a nationally
recognized historian and dean of
undergraduate studies at the
University at Albany, received a
Fulbright Award to carry out
research and lecture in Korea
beginning in September 1991.

As a Korean-American, Kim
said he planned to use some of
his 10-month stay in Korea to
research and write a history of
the past 100 years of Korea,
focused on the country’s
modemization. He also expects
to interviéw important Korean
leaders who played a key role in
Politics, economy, education and
culture over the last 50 years.
He also expects to deliver
lectures on American history and
culture to students at his alma
mater, Seoul National University.

Kim, whose area of specialty

is early American history to
1815, has published a number of
scholarly monographs and
reviews, including a prize-
winning book on agrarian society
in 17th and 18th-century New
York, Landlord and Tenant in
Colonial New York.

Having left Korea in 1960 to
pursue graduate work in
American history at the
University of Wisconsin at
Madison, Kim later received a
Ph.D. from Michigan State
University in 1966. He taught at
The College of William and
Mary and at the University of
Illinois before coming to the
University at Albany in 1973. He
has been Dean of the
Undergraduate Studies and
Associate Vice President for
Academic Affairs since 1987,
Kim was a Charles Warren
Fellow at Harvard University

and a post-doctoral fellow at the
Institute of Early American
History and Culture in
Williamsburg, Va.

Kim said he believes he is the!
first Ph.D. in American history
the Korea has ever produces, and
may still be the only Korean-
American holding an American
degree in the field,

“T believe that, given my rich
experience in teaching and
Tesearch in American history and
educational administration in the
United States, I have a lot to
offer to the field of American
educational administration in the
United States, I have a lot to
offer in the field of American
studies in Korea,” he said, “This
will give me the opportunity to
pay back the intellectual debt I
feel I owe that country and its

people.”

Greeks begin "friendly competition"
Greek Week celebrates strength through unity

By Melissa Cooper
STAFF WRITER

Greek Week, “a friendly
competition between teams of
fraternities and sororities,”
begins at 1 p.m. this Saturday
when University President H.
Patrick Swygert will cut a ribbon
behind the Campus Center to
begin the week’s events, said
Interfraternity President Craig
Snyder who is also the president
of Zeta Beta Tau.

The opening ceremonies will
include a barbecue with a live
band as well as a DJ.

All if the University is
encouraged to join in the
festivities, Snyder said.

Greek Week consists of varied
activities Snyder explained such
as athletics, community services,
skits and parties. Activities will
last until April 24th. 20
fraternities and eight sororities
participate, totalling
approximately 2,000 people.

The sororities and fraternities
are split up into eight teams and
each is designated a specific
color Snyder said. The teams
compete against each other for
points. The winner receives a
large banner and “bragging
tights for a year,” Snyder said.

The first days events include
each displaying team banners
they have made and later in the
day, “Afternoon in the bars.” For
“Afternoon in the bars” two
people are selected from each
team. These people have to start
at the Long Branch and “chug a
beer or do a shot and proceed to
the next bar,” said Nicole

Rothman, one of the chair
people for this event. The first
team to drink either a beer or a
shot in all four of the bars:
Peabody’s, Michaels, the Long
Branch, and WT’s, is the winner.

Sunday’s events will include
the Olympics and a scavenger
hunt at night. The sports for the
Olympic games are basketball,
football, soccer and softball and
the games will be judged by
Albany Collegiate Intramural
Athletics (ACIA).

Community Service Day will
taise money for the Disabled
Student Services on campus and
the Cerebral Palsy Foundation,
an Interfraternity Council (IFC)

pamphlet on Greek Week stated.
All the teams will assign people
to stand on different designated
corners downtown with cans to
collect money. The team
collecting the most money will
receive the most points,

Other events include the
Greek God and Goddess contest,
the skit competition and relay
races, The relay races will
consist of a three-legged race,
egg on a spoon run, a sack race
and an elephant run.

The final night is “Party
Night.” Each team will throw a
big party based on a theme to a
movie. The houses of the parties

Sales and marketing in
the high tech industry

By Tanya Egnuss
STAFF WRITER

Sixty students attended a
“Sales and Marketing in the
High Tech Industry” seminar on
Tuesday, where speakers
discussed the trials and
tribulations of trying to sell
products.

The program was sponsored
by the Pi Sigma Epsilon (Pi Sig
Ep) co-educational business
fratemity.

Bill Ash, who spoke at the
seminar, was a representative
from Oracle Corporation, a
computer software firm which is
a participant in Sales and
Marketing Executives (S.M.E), a
type of “fraternity” for
community professionals.

Ash said the successful
salesperson is one who is
knowledgeable about their
product, and who can persuade
prospective clients. He also said,
“Persuasion sells...but a
salesperson must be able to face
rejection and exercise good
judgment.”

In reference to high tech
industry there are no rules, Ash
said. This facet of the business
world is constantly changing and
growing, he added, so one must
be prepared to deal with new
situations and act accordingly.

Ash also said a great deal of
traveling is involved with sales
making it difficult for single
people to developing social lives
and relationships.

Interactions with people are
the core of sales, Ash said. One
must know what one is selling
and to whom. He also said
specialization is important.

Financially speaking, Ash said
sales is more lucrative than
marketing. The sales
departments are what keeps
companies running. He
explained although marketing
agents earn more recognition
and respect, it is still the sales
department that keeps most
companies afloat.

SUNYA student Craig
Ginsberg, Educational/
Programming chairperson for Pi
Sig Ep was responsible for
organizing the event. He said the
speakers Pi Sig Ep brought in
came from the Albany chapter of
S.M.E. ad well as the Chamber
of Commerce.

According to Jon Frideland,
founder and president of Pi Sig
Ep, they will present speakers

This will be the Fifth Annual

sponsored by University
Auxiliary Services, Student
Association Programming, and
the IFC, Snyder said. All the
teams have been planning and
preparing for many weeks. He
added, “Most Greeks look

Release of
woman's
identity debated
iBy Robert Dvorchak

(AP) Newspaper and broadcast
journalists debated whether or
Inot to name the woman who said
ishe was raped by a member of,
the Kennedy family in Palm
\Beach, Florida, after NBC, The
INew York Times and others|
Inamed her.
One women’s group said
\divulging the name without the,
lwoman’s consent was
‘vulturistic.” But a member of
ithe ethics committee of the
|American Society of Newspaper
[Editors said withholding rape)
victims’ names “shrouds them in
ithe stigma of being dirty.”
Among the newspapers who
identified the woman on
|Wednesday were the Des Moines|
(Iowa) Register, the San
IFransico Chronicle, the Denver
Post, the Fort Worth (Texas)
Star- Telegram and the Courier-
Journal of Louisville, Kentucky.
“Whatever anonymity this
iwoman had is gone. It became
lalmost an affectation not to run

the name,” said Geneva
IOverholser, editor of the|
Register,

The Register’s policy is to
shield the name of a rape victim
lunless she comes forward. The
jpaper won a Pulitzer Prize last,
week for a series about a rape
victim who went public in hopes
jof drawing attention to an
underreported crime.

“We are participating in the
Istigma of rape by treating =
crime differently,” Overholser
said.

David Roth, lawyer for the 29
lyear old woman said he was|
shocked and appalled” to hear
lher name had been divulged.

refrain from using the names of
lrape victims or those who say
they have been sexually

“Our primary obligation is to

said Allan M. Siegal, assistant,

“Once there is no point to shield

the practice of keeping

controversial

Fountain Valley, California
|By Deborah Hastings

(AP) Hyondai Motor America
Corp. has withdrawn a TV.
lecommercial following
Icomplaints it conjures up the
videotaped police beating of a
black motorist.

“We are going to have this
commercial sent to an
advertising research firm to
determine whether or not we
should run it,” spokesman Bill
[Wolf said Wednesday.
“Depending on the reaction,
we'll run it or it will be killed.”
Wolf said the Southern
California advertising firm of
Backer Spielvogel Bates wrote
the commercial before the
‘March 3 beating of Rodney
King, and it was in production
lwhen King was beaten by Los
Angeles police officers.

King was pulled over for
speeding in a Hyundai and was
kicked, clubbed and shocked
with @ stun gun in a beating
captured on video by a
bystander.

‘The commercial features a
ichase in which a policeman in
lan inexpensive Hyundai Sonata
overtakes a BMW and arrests
the driver of the German luxury
fear. AS the driver spreads his
hands across the back of the
ipoliceman’s car, he asks,

| “Hyundai?”

The commercial  was|
scheduled to premiere last night|
during NBC's “Cheers,” the
most-watched series on
television, But the negative

executives and community
Jeaders quoted in Wednesday's}
Los Angeles Times prompted
Hyundai executives to withdraw,
the 30-second ad.

Hyundai itself became part off
the beating controversy when
police officers claimed King's

travelling ay up to 115 mph. The!
car manufacturer publicly stated
its cars had never been clocked|
above 100 mph.

‘Wolf said of the commercial:
“It wasn't something that we felt|
bore any relationship to anything
else at all. We thought it was a|
good commercial. We thought it|
said something about the|
Hyundai product - that it has|
similar performance values of|

there is a similarity to the

Surrogate mom tries to get son back

By Michelle Albers and Jeffrey
Bruner
Des Moines

Despite a judge’s order to keep
him in the United States, a boy
bom to an Iowa surrogate mother
apparently has been taken to
Israel.

A couple who paid a Denison,
Iowa, woman to bear the child
took him to Tel Aviv, a
newspaper there has reported.

Kathleen King, 28, who gave
birth to Andrew McCoy King in
a Denison hospital in November,
said she learned last week that
Anet and Shlomo Rejuan took
the infant to Israel.

Shortly after he was born,
King had agreed to give the child
to the Rejuans. But she later
changed her mind and has been
fighting since then to get him
back.

The Rejuans, who are Israeli
citizens, had paid King $10,000
to have the child for them.

In January, a Crawford County
judge ordered the Rejuans not to
take the boy out of the country.
At that time, the couple and the
child were living in Florida.

King said one of her lawyers,
Tom Eller of Denison, was told
by an Israeli newspaper reporter
last week that Andrew had been
taken to Israel.

“The reporter said he was in
Tel Aviv and he (told Eller) it
was making big headlines over
there,” King said. “(Eller) told
me that my son Andrew was in

Israel. I was trying to hold back
the tears and when I got home I
cried myself to sleep.”

The story was printed last

week, Amos Regev, editor of the
Tel Aviv Yedieoth Ahronot,
confirmed Saturday. “The baby
is in Israel right now,” he said.
“The parents and the child are
living in the greater Tel Aviv
area.”
Zadok Yecheskely, a New
York correspondent for the
newspaper, said he didn’t know
when the couple arrived in
Israel. He said the Rejuans are
filing legal papers in Israel.

Though he didn’t know
specifically what type of action
they were taking, Yecheskely
said, “If there is a legal battle
over (the case), it will be in
Israel.”

Robert Jasinski, the couple’s
Florida lawyer, could not be
reached for comment Saturday.

Melio Tonini, a Des Moines
lawyer who has handled many
immigration and deportation
cases, said that although he was
not familiar with the specifics of
this case, “All advantages are
with the parents in Israel.”

Tonini said he thought it
would be impossible for the U.S.
government to have the Rejuans,
or Andrew, brought back to the
United States,

“I don’t know how you’d get
the baby over here without the
court order from over there,” he
said. “All the odds are against

(King).”

King said she didn’t know
what she would do if her only
option was to go to Tel Aviv to
get custody of Andrew.

“T always felt that they would
(leave),” King said. “But I
trusted them because I trusted
them before. ... I put my trust in
them and my faith in God, and
now they’ve left,” she said.

But King said she sympathizes
with the Rejuans.

“If it ever comes that criminal
charges are pressed against them,
I will try to seek immunity for
them because I still really care
about them,” she said, “This is a
case that has to do with an
innocent baby. I love him and
they do too. I’m sure that they
can’t help how they feel.”

both the course and the professor.

Included in the evaluations are the
number and format of tests/papers
required, the required texts, the
percentage of student enjoyed the class,
those that found it easy or difficult as well
as a general course description.

“SCATE is a good example that
students take charge of their own
education,” said Sung Bok Kim, Dean of
Undergraduate Studies. “Student
Association leaders got together to
compile a professor and course
evaluation,” he said. “The general
education courses are required and many
students only take them because they are
required, so they need to know what
they’re like.”

“Students need a guide to course
offerings from their fellow students, just
like this,” he said.

Andrea Hoffer, Educational Affairs
Director of Student Association (SA) was
head of the project, which took two years
to materialize.

“This is a good booklet, especially for
new students; we’re holding over 3500
copies for orientation,” she said.

However student reaction to the guide
book was not so favorable.

“The SCATE booklet is very
disappointing because very few courses
and professors are critiqued, but I think it
is a good idea and I’m sure future issues
will be more informative,” said Hector
Roman, a SUNYA student.

“The evaluations should have been
involved,” said Stacy Oberman,

Another student, Debbie Kowarz, said,
“T think it is a positive idea for the
students to be able to voice their opinions,
but I don’t know how seriously people
take these surveys so I don’t know how
valid they really are.”

“The students were asking for it,”
Hoffer said, “and this time last year I
didn’t think it would happen, but it did.”

“I hope we will see more of this next
year and that more professors get
involved,” Kim said. “It is a good way to
spend the student activity fee.”

“Three or four years ago there was a
SCATE booklet, but it had a very different
format,” Hoffer said. The project died,
however, because of lack of funding from
Student Association (SA), and the
administrators and professors were against
it, Hoffer explained.

“They were against SCATE because it
‘was done mainly for tenure and promotion

purposes,” she said.

Hoffer also said the students would be
more critical if they knew the evaluations
were for their peers, making it more
difficult for professors to receive tenure.”

The study follows charges by
civil rights advocates that
administration officials derailed
negotiations between civil rights
leaders and members of the
Business Roundtable, a group
representing 200 large
companies.

“We've run into a problem
here where a couple of business
leaders wanted to negotiate and
represent themselves as all of
business, and we’ve had
complaints from independent
businessmen and _ other
organizations that their views
weren’t necessarily represented
by these individuals,” White
House spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater said Monday. “And so,
we are trying to conduct most of
the negotiations ourselves.”

The lengthy report cites some
positive steps — the passage of
the Americans with Disabilities
Act, appointment of minority
meinbers to Cabinet posts, and
improved enforcement of the
Voting Rights Act and fair
housing laws. But it finds little to

“From Bensonhurst to Boston
to California, incidents of racial
conflict occur in increasing
numbers,” it said. “And racial
stereotypes of blacks and
Hispanics persist despite a
growing number of white people
who claim to support racial
equality.”

Among the study’s findings:

— 44 percent of black children
and 38 percent of Hispanic
children live below the
government's poverty line.

— 40 percent of black and
Hispanic children are born
without prenatal care.

— 25 percent of black and 35
percent of Hispanic children
have no health insurance.

— Among blacks, violent
deaths increased 51 percent from
1984 to 1988, while white deaths
by violence increased 6 percent.

— Unemployment among
black high school dropouts
stands at 37 percent.

— Women eam 66 percent of
men’s pay, while black men
make 75 percent of white males
and Hispanic males make 66
percent.

— 47 percent of all public
housing units are occupied by
black families,

— 45 percent of the 700,000
prisoners in state and federal
prisons are black.

— At any time, 25 percent of
the black male population is in
jail or on probation,

The commission’s first report,
issued in 1989, sharply criticized
the Reagan administration and
found that “a political climate
had been created in which the
rights and aspirations of one
group of citizens were pitted
against those of others resulting
in an escalation of racial
tensions.”

Wednesday’s report concludes
that “After two years, it seems
clear that dealing effectively
with intergroup tensions has not
been a first priority for the
executive branch or for the
nation and that opportunities to
set the nation on a course toward

Progress and reconciliation have
been lost.

“As a result, there has been a
continuing deterioration in
intergroup relations,
deterioration which threatens the
strength and unity of the nation
and which must be reversed.”

FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1991 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 9

Crowds of children mobbed
the front lawn of the Phillip
Schuyler Elementary School on
the corner of North Lake and
Western, getting in a few last
minutes of play before they
joined the small group of
children who were already
beginning to form a line on the
steps of the building waiting
patiently to be let in to school
for the day.

The impression-ability of
these young children was one of
Albany football coach Bob
Ford’s inspirations for sending
over his players to visit the
children three times this year to
talk to them about college life.

Though Ford conceded,
“There’s no way of measuring if
the program can have an impact
on some youngster’s life,” he
said the team’s efforts have been
worthwhile.

Junior team member Bruce
Kinisky agreed, “They’re
starting to get into junior high,
so they are exposed to more
drugs and stuff.” He emphasized
his point, “If you hit ‘em now,
let ‘em know older people are
backing them up,” they’Il be able
to resist the pressure more easily.

“I wanted to do something
positive with the football
squad,” Ford said. “I wanted to
create a better image for football
(players) as a whole because
they’re no different than any of
the other students.” He
complained, “Even if one
hundred and forty kids do the

right thing it’s the one kid caught
pissing in an alley that gives the
whole football team a bad
name.”

Ford suggested the team’s
effort was a way to give “our
guys more of a chance to stand
on their own feet.”

he

When senior Walt Chernosky
and sophomore Jim Buhmberry
entered room 303 and eased
their massive frames into the
miniature chairs placed at the
front of the room for them to sit
in, the children shuffled around
restlessly waiting for their
visitors to address them.

“I’m originally from Texas”,
Chemosky said, “but I came here
today to talk to y’all about
school.”

“You don’t have to have high
goals to get straight A’s or
nothing like that, but it’s
important to do well,” he
instructed.

In an attempt to get the quiet
bunch of children seated before
him excited about something,
Chernosky asked them if they
had any hobbies. One girl raised
her hand and told him she liked
to read, That’s good, Chernosky
said, and explained to the kids,
“Athletics can be a kind of
hobby you do; it could be a good
part of school.” Speaking from
his own experience Chernosky
said, “I started in the fifth grade
with football.”

“Sports or a hobby teach you
discipline, you can apply it to

your school work,” Chernosky
said. “(It’ll) teach you how to
work with other people.”

“It’s also important to be
yourself,” he said. “Don’t let
other people tell you what to do.
Be your own person. Stand up to

“I’m sure you've heard of
drugs,” Chernosky said
assuredly. “Peer pressure is
involved in drugs. Older people
will tell you to take them, but
stay way from them.”

comfortable , Chernosky told
them, “I’m a kid, just a little bit
older, but I’m still in school,
when I was in high school, a
good friend of mine, All
American Wrestling player, did
some drugs.” Pausing for a
minute to make sure the children
were paying close attention to
his lesson, he continued, “He
only did a little at first, but then
a little turned into a lot. By
eleventh grade he dropped out of
school.”

Shaking his head he faced his

audience grimly and said,
“That’s sad.”

Breaking up the seriousness of
the moment, Chernosky joked,
“Well, do you guys want to ask
questions about school, sports,
life...how we stay awake in
class!”

The children, shy at first,
remained silent for a few
minutes, but then they warmed
up and started firing questions at
the two players about college
classes, credits necessary to
graduate, and class requirements.
Buhmberry addressed their
concerns by telling the kids what
a typical week of classes is like.

Chernosky explained to them
how he balances athletics and
classes. “You have to learn to
budget your time,” he said. “If
you do your work when you're
supposed to, college is not that
hard.” Laughing Buhmberry
said, “Don’t leave three hundred
pages of reading for the night
before a test.”

One child asked whether or
not the two men went to college
to play football or to learn.
Chernosky answered,
“Education....it’s always first.”
He added, “Education can never
be taken away. Football can be.
The minute you're hurt, that;s
itr

Another child asked about
hobbies. To which Chemoc=sky
re-emphasized, “We're kids too.
We do our schoolwork, but then
we like to play, watch t.v., play
nintendo.”

Tackling the sticky question of
college parties, Chernosky
answered briefly, “You have to
respect other people’s right to
quiet time.”

Malinda Villegas, a soft
spoken twelve year old said the
presentation was “all right” and
the college students are “doing
pretty good coming here and
telling us not to make the same
mistakes (as them).” Villegas
said she liked hearing the players
talk about the dorms,

Aspiring teacher, twelve year
old Kimberly Greene,
commented on how she liked
that the students were closer to
her age than the adults who
usually try to teach he things,
“Younger kids know about how
it is in the 90’s better than grown
ups,” she said. “They’re (the
grown ups) like old or
something!”

“When they talked about
staying in school, it made me
want to go on to college,” said a
somewhat reticent Dawn
Boodraw, who added that she
has dreams of becoming a
doctor.

In stark contrast to Boodraw,
Jessica Maye bubbled over with
enthusiasm for the program,
“Every time they come it gets
more exciting. Kids ask more
questions, and it’s not often
people come in to our school
and talk to us and give us time
off from work.” She also said
she liked hearing them talk

EDITORIAL —__.

What's the most
fun a SUNYA
student can have?

Why Dippikill of course.

So why is the Dippikill referendum pending? Why,
when Dippikill is one of the best things about being a
student at SUNY Albany?

Perhaps not enough people know what Dippikill is
about. If you're one of those people, then read on,
because it's about time you learned.

Camp Dippikill is located about an hour and a half
north of Albany. The land is owned by the University,
and is operated by the Student Association. Anyone
who is enrolled in Albany or is an alumnus can enjoy
Dippikill's facilities.

What are the facilities, you ask? For one thing,
Dippikill has cabins. Big ones, small ones, ones with
Tunning water, ones without. There are ones with
bathrooms 50 feet away, and ones where you-have to
walk two miles to find indoor plumbing. The ones
deep in the woods are the best, because these are
equipped with lovely outhouses. You have yet to truly
bond with a person, unless you bond with them on a
trip to one of these shacks in the woods with a hole in
the ground. Clutching each other in the darkness,
looking for a place to go, when you really have to go,
you learn a lot about a person.

Besides the outhouses (some of the cabins do
actually have bathrooms, but bathrooms are for
wimps), many of the cabins have big pits for building a
fire. These are perfect for toasting marshmallows
around, while sipping a beer and getting close to a
friend.

At Dippikill, you don't have to sleep inside. You can
camp out under the stars. And there's more. You can
also take a row across the lake. Or go for a hike along
the trails. Commune with nature. And alcohol is
allowed, provided you're over 21.

It doesn't cost much to visit Dippikill. You just have
to reserve a cabin in advance, which you do through
SA, pay a small fee, and you're off. Many groups on
campus have already found Dippikill. There are cabins
that house up to fifteen people, and ones made for a
family of four.

For many, Dippikill is a tradition. In fact, the walls
of the cabins are covered with carvings, burned or
etched in by people that passed through. People that
left their mark with words like "Debbie loves Mike" or
“ASP '90". If you go there once, you'll find yourself
there for years to come. Each time, you'll discover
something new, whether it's a person you never spoke
to before or a sight you've never seen. People have
reported visions of shooting stars, and they've started
friendships that last a lifetime.

Dippikill is a chance to get away from the headaches
of college. It's a weekend in the outdoors, spending
time with friends. It's cooking meals over an open fire.
It's drinking water out of the creek. It's looking up at
the stars, while you're a little buzzed, and thinking,
"Wow. I've never seen so many.”

Dippikill is important. If you haven't been there yet,
then go. Once you do, you'll see how special it is.

Of course, Dippikill cannot run without your help.
Without funding, it cannot provide all the wonderful
things you've heard about. The referendum regarding
Dippikill was only supported by a little over half the
voters. Its fate now lies in the hands of Central
Council. Please urge your Council representative to
pass the Dippikill referendum. Call the SA office (442-
5640) and tell them you care. And then sign up to rent
acabin.

The ASP has been going to Dippikill for years, and
we always know what we're talking about.

MANUFACTURING THE
PERFECT CONDOM:

COLUMN

In the hope of preventing the spread of sexually
transmitted diseases such as AIDS and a few unwanted
pregnancies along the way, School Chancellor Joseph
Fernandez, the school board and Mayor David N.
Dinkins recently decided that it would be in the best
interest on both the students and the city of New York to
distribute condoms in city school. Ever since this
decision has been made public, a coalition of New York
City Assembly Members and Senators began rally around

Gina Barresi

legislation to ban distribution of condoms in city schools.
Opponents of the Mayor and school chancellor’s plan
advocate that the plan usurps the rights of parents and
promotes promiscuity.

Brooklyn Assemblyman Edward Griffith, a liberal,
Democrat is pushing for the measure to rescind action by
the City Board of Education, while a bill, sponsored by
Senator John J. Marchi of Ward Hill is Staten Island, has
gained the support of two of Staten Island’s three
assembly members. The bill calls for the extension of
health education programs to include instruction on
family living and sex education. Those districts that do
not comply with the bill and violate its provisions would
face the loss of state funding,

“By distributing free condom to school children; we
may be sending wrong signals - that schools are
promoting promiscuity and condoms are fail-safe,”
Assemblyman Griffith said.

“Instead, schools should be promoting attitudes which
enhance health, well-being> and human dignity. We
should be encouraging confidence and academic
achievement, not sexual achievement.”

Griffith argues that the free condom program “demeans
and demoralizés” students and parents and crosses the
boundary between advocacy and education. “It is an
affront to church and family wisdom and threatens
individual dignity,” he said.

But the bills sponsors acknowledged they expect to run
into a brick’ wall with the Democratic Assembly
Leadership, which could kill the opponents measure in
committee. Assembly speaker Mel Miller, D-Brooklyn,
and Assembly Education Committee Chairman Angelo
Del Toro, D-Manhattan, are expected to back Schools
Chancellor Joseph Fernandez, the school board and
Mayor Dinkins.

If proponents of this legislation are successful in their
endeavors, many opponents of this plan argue that there
is the potential for enormous liabilities particularly
arising from massive and Protracted class action
wrongful death claims. This analysis has the support of
other public health professionals, physicians, community
organizations, and a growing number of attorneys.

These opponents claim that advocates of this

Condoms in City High Schools?

ineffective and dangerous policy fail to realize the
profoundly disastrous effects such litigation could have
on the state. They claim the state would be liable for the
distribution of ineffective condoms. If the state was sued,
government immunity provided by the Tort Claims Act
may not protect the state. Can the state afford to take
such a financial risk when it is already in a six billion
dollar budget deficit?

According to the New Jersey Department of Health,
the state can not afford to take such a risk. In an AIDS
Public Hearing, this department claimed that the condom
has never been tested in vivo meaning under the actual
conditions when particle transfer will take place which is
at the moment of ejaculation. This, they state, is
equivalent to testing the effectiveness of brakes, for
example, at 30 m.p.h. and then proclaiming their safety at
90 m.p.h.

The New Jersey Health Department also cites that latex
is heat, cold, light and pressure sensitive and adversely
affected by humidity, ozone and air pollution as well as
the mere passage of time-deterioration. In addition,
condoms are rarely transported in compliance with
federal regulations subjecting them to intense heat and
cold and when quality control is conducted on a random
basis testing only 144 condoms out of each lot of 1000
are actually tested!

Furthermore, the department explicates that HIV is
three times smaller than herpes, 60 times smaller than the
spirochete that causes syphilis and 450 times smaller than
sperm. How fail safe can the condom be?

I think no one can argue that both sides do have their

points and both sides are trying to enact legislation they
believe will be in the best interest of both students and
the general public. But the question still remains, which
plan is, in all actuality, the one that will, indeed, be in the
best interest of the students and the general public? Will
the distribution of condoms in city schools really prevent
the spread of AIDS and unwanted pregnancies? Do you
think, if given the choice, students would actually
consider going to the nurse to request condoms when
considering having sex, or do you think they would
continue doing otherwise? If you are in favor of this
legislation, then should the state pay for these condoms
when the state is already in an enormous fiscal crisis?

What about those families who teach their children
abstinence, whether they are Catholic, Muslim or Jewish?
Should city schools have the right to negate or refute the
principle instilled by parents in their children? Is this
legislation not a violation of parental rights?

As in any debate, the questions are easy to address.
The answers, however, are not as simple. Which
legislation do you as students and as future parents
espouse? Which legislation do you believe is more
ethical and more humane?

Please write to the ASP. The editor would like to know.

A Convo With a Bunch of Jerks

One of the most dreaded questions
for a band is being asked “What does
your name mean?” or some sort of
variation of such. With Railroad Jerk,
I don’t ask. I don’t want to know. It;s
the music that counts, anyway. But
Marce Hall, singer/.guitarist says, “It
doesn’t mean anything, but I could
make something up if you want.”

For fun, let’s introduce them by
their nicknames. Chris Mueller, The
Dog-Headed Boy (guitar), Steve
Cerio, Mister Cornflake (drums),
Tony Lee, Mister Cinnamon Buns/T-
Bone (bass) and Marce Hall,
Mudfoot. Steve explains, “I once was
playing pinball with Chris, before I
joined in September, and I really
sucked. He was beating me and I
kept calling him doghead, for no
reason...Tony’s Mr. Cinnamon Buns
‘cause he liked cinnamon buns,
without raisins.”

Jodi Shapiro

“And Jez (Aspinall, their old
drummer) used to call me T-Bone.”
says Tony.

“Are you going to put in
parentheses ‘laughter’?” asks Marce.

“1 don’t like those editor notes.
They’re so smug. I'll bet your story
is full of them.” says Steve (this is not
asmug note-ed).

“Don’t put too many of those in
your story, ok?” asks Tony (okay, I
won't -ed).

“We love this is town,” says Steve.
“There were all these signs on the
highway from Boston — ‘Railroad
Jerk, this way ‘ — so we couldn't get
lost.”

“What is that big square building
all the way downtown?” asks Marce.
“The one with all of those columns?”

“Or the giant mushroom?” asks
Steve. “That big mushroom type
thing...it’s called The Egg? Tell Chris
that, he refuses to believe it exists.
They called me crazy.”

Steve: “The air is so great up here,
in the valley. This place is in a valley,
right?”

I shake my head. “I don’t know,
Tm not from here.”

Steve says accusingly, “But you
live here, right? I’ll bet you edit out
the part about you not knowing.”

“Maybe you should let us edit
this,” says Tony.

“Is the river past the giant egg?”
asks Chris.

I ask the band to describe their
music. “Isn’t this at your job?” asks
Marce. Okay, how’s this: basic rock-
n-roll with a touch of early punk
mixed in, laced with white noise but
deeply rooted in Robert Johnson.

“That's it!” say the band in unison.

Albany is just the first stop on
Railroad Jerk’s tour in support of
their self-titled LP (Matador Records)
and upcoming single, “Younger Than
You.”

“The other side is called ‘The
Ballad of Jim White’,” says Marce.
“He’s a fictitious character, but
someone we've all grown up with. A
couple of people in my high school,
some from Tony’s school and some
from Chris’.”

“But not mine, I didn’t play on it,”
says Steve.

“He didn’t play on anything,”

“We listen to WRRJ FM. Railroad
Jerk 24 hours a day, every day. And
Robert Fripp,” says Steve. I tell him
I’m supposed to talk about their
music, not about what they listen to
in their van. “Talk about the live
show, then.” says Tony.

O.K., I will. Live, Railroad Jerk
don’t sound much different than
their records. That’s because the
records are recorded live, basically.
No studio tricks or overdubs. Steve’s
drum kit is full of broken cymbals,
pots and pans, a toy xylophone and a
turbine stolen from the roof of their
rehearsal space. They move around

from The Partridge Family,” says Tony.

“No, Marce actually was Danny,”
corrects Steve.

“He’s a DJ in LA now — they’re
going to take him off the air,” ends
Chris.

Steve peruses this insanity. “Marce
tries so hard to cover this up. He
never talks about it. Marce, how’s
Keith doing? Tell us about
Keith...hey, didn’t you play drums?”

Marc shakes his head. “I think so,
if I remember correctly. I had freckles,
too.”

“He had them surgically removed!”
says Steve, almost in hysterics.

Railroad Jerk...they sing, they watch television, they wax witticisms, and they even
draw self-portraits for college newspapers

states Chris. “He's just along for the
ride. We just like him ‘cause he
drives the van.”

“There’s new songs he plays on,”
adds Marce.

“They're teaching me how to play
gradually. I think I may be able to do
a drumroll by mid-December, 1992,”
says Steve.

Chris pats him on the shoulder.
“Don’t push yourself.”

“We're also on a compilation (New
York Eye and Ear Control) that’s not out
yet,” says Tony with a smirk. “We
told Matador we didn’t want more
than one thing of ours released each

“I didn’t play on that one, either,”
Steve says glumly.

“Ask us what we listen to in the
van,” suggests Chris.

almost spastically, jerking back and
forth while they play their
instruments clean, with no distortion
audible.

“Our next record is called Weed,”
says Steve. He is cut off by Blue
Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the
Reaper” coming from downstairs.
The entire band goes crazy. “Where
else would they have Blue Oyster
Cult on the jukebox?”

“Ask us some questions.” says
Tony. “No, wait, we'll ask you. What
was high school like?”

“Wouldn’t it be cool if Fame was
about nerds?” muses Steve.

“Ym broken up about Cop Rock,”
states Chris. “I saw that show and
decided to become a musician. I
watch, like ten hours of TV a day.”

“Marce wanted to be like Danny

He gives some friendly advice: “I
want to tell all the students that
might read this, life can take you
down some strange, strange roads.
You can have your freckles removed.
Be careful which roads you follow.”

“Nostalgia is wonderful,” I say.

“I'm deeply bothered by your
sarcasm,” says Steve. “I’m just so
bothered. See, you're laughing now.
I'll bet you’re gonna write “ha, ha’
after this quote.”

“Don’t ever ride in the same van as
Steve Cerio,” says Chris.

“And never take 90 into this town,”
adds Tony.

Words to live by, I’m sure.

ExASPerated

Just yesterday | came upon this stunning revelation. See, | was in
my kitchen talking to my housemate, when this really nifty song came
on WCDB. | started bopping around the room, which is odd in itself,
since | don't like to dance in front of people, then suddenly swooped up
my cat, and started to dance with her, much to her sheer joy. |
suddenly got an image in my head, a celluloid one that | have been
forced to see at many a Christmas gathering: my mom on 8mm, about
16 years ago, dancing with my brother in the exact same manner as |
was with the squirming kitty.

My God, it's happened. I'm turning into my mother.

And so soon, too. | kinda thought it would take another 20 years and
a couple of kids to do this to me. But no. It's really happening. When |
get mad, | even sound like my mother, because suddenly this Brooklyn-
nasal inflection comes into my voice. I've never even lived in Brooklyn,
but my mother did. And I'm beginning to develop her old-maid-type
sleeping habits: naps, early nights, early mornings, BLEAH. Freshman
year, | was up till all hours, not even doing anything specific, just
hangin’ and talking, or maybe studying for a test. | never pulled ail
nighters, but | would study until about 4:00, then get up in time for my
horrid 8:15 class. On days | could sleep late, I'd emulate the dead,
sleeping for hours and hours....(sigh) | miss that about myself.

Somehow, I've become a dried-up fuddy-duddy. At midnight | begin
to get really tired, even when | go out with my friends. | can't begin to
count the number of times I've yawned in my best friend's face, which is
pretty rude (that trait | inherited from my dad; my mother is the politest
person | know). She has tried to cure me of that -- last year she had
some stranger stick his finger down my throat while | yawned. That
was pleasant. But anyway, | try to stay up, but then | start to thinking
that | have to go to work the next day, or | really should cut my toenails,
or | have to alphabetize my tape collection, then | just become awfully
blah and boring and go home. Such responsibility in one so young. Or
even when | do stay up late to study, invariably | end up snoring on my
textbook and hurt my nose. | have yet to make it past 2:00 studying
this year.

And the worst part is, since | go to bed so early, the sun's not even
out when | get up. This | definitely get from Mom, because she’s up
every day at 4:30 whether she likes it or not. Must be the internal
alarm clock innately wedged in my system. | have no idea why this
suddenly hit me this year, but it's giving me circles under my eyes,
lemme tell ya.

Oh, yeah. | suddenly developed the loud laugh my mother has, the
one that would send me and my siblings ducking for cover on public
streets or under desks at parent-teacher conferences. Just last night at
dinner | caught myself guffawing with that same machine-gun chortle
that she has: "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" No more delicate chuckles for me -
- I'm too busy turning into my mother. It's getting really distressing.

Not that | hate my mother. | admit that when | was a tender pre-
pubescent, | wished she could be cool like my best friend's hippie
parents who had gone to Woodstock and slid in mud. At that same
time, my mother was un-hiply (is that a word, or did | just create it?)
pregnant with me and just didn't feel like spreading peace, love, joy,
sex, and drugs around. But | was shallow back then; | truly am glad |
was born to her and not someone like Joan Crawford. | count my
blessings that | resemble her and not my father, who was bald at the
age of 25. My mom is a very attractive woman -- my friend Danny is
completely in love with her, even though he's 20 and she's 50, and at
the height of 5"7, she only weighs 120 pounds (isn't that just sick?!).
Thank goodness | have her metabolism. And she's pretty hip, even
though she thought the Beatles were hooligans and was too moody to
go slide in mud back in ‘69; my sister's boyfriend just bought a
motorcycle, and mom is gonna learn how to ride it. And as long as I'm
happy, she doesn't care who I'm with or where | go, which is cool beans
with me. | only hope | can be as mellow if | ever have three brats who
call me Edith Bunker as a term of endearment.

Okay, in reading this over, it sounds really sappy saccharin-sweet.
Sorry. | am turning into my mom, though, doing all the idiosyncrasies
that we kids used to make fun of her for. | know it. My brother and
sister know it. It's only a matter of time before | start putting my cat on
the phone to talk to my long-distance friends, the way my mom puts the
dog on the phone with me. Help!

Londonbeat
In the Blood
Radioactive Records

Londonbeat interlink rock, pop, soul
and funk into this one huge sonic
groove machine that will constantly
keep you on your toes. From the first
single, on their American debut, In the
Blood, “I’ve Been Thinking About
You,” to the last track, “You Love and
Learn,” these two Americans,
Trinidadian and Brit maintain an
electrifying beat and vibrating
choruses that has helped to make the
band a hit in 12 countries.

While all three singers sound like a
mixture of Roland Gift and Robert
Palmer (a former bandmate of co-
singer Jimmy Chambers in the English
group DaDa), they have a sensuous
style only they can call their own,
especially noticeable in “She Said She
Loves Me” and “It’s in the Blood.”

Their harmonies layer provacatively

upon instrumentalist Willy M’s
keyboards, helping to turn what
otherwise might be mindless lyrical
drivel into arousing, pulsing songs (“A
Better Love”). And don’t forget “T’ve
Been Thinking About You,” a Fine
Young Cannibals-ish reverberation
that’s just so undeniably catchy
(unfortunately, they had to stick an
unnecessary three-minute mix onto the
end of this song on the album,
rendering it snappy, but on the verge
of irritating. You know how that is).
And their re-vamped version of Bob
Marley’s “No Woman, No Cry” just
doesn’t sound that good as a pop tune.
Some things just shouldn’t be
tampered with.

But otherwise, In the Blood lays a
solid foundation for Londonbeat’s
transemergence into American radio.
They’re soulful. They’re sensual.
They’re pretty funky. And they've
arrived. Don’t miss out.

Tragically Hip
Road Apples
MCA Records

Don’t let their name fool you — the
Kingston, Ontario quintet The
Tragically Hip are anything but what
their name connotes. Self-proclaimed
fashion failures, the band refuses to
be just another product of record
company management teams and
prefers to concentrate on their music
rather than their hairstyles. This
attitude has definitely paid off on
Road Apples, the second U.S. release
for the band, a hard-driving,
appealing album.

Power seems to be the imperative
force behind The Tragically Hip.
From vocals to drums, all aspects of
the music play nicely off one another,
melding together to create a sound
which is clean, simple and
consistently, well, hip.

Aside from having the remarkable
attribute of enunciating his words
impeccably, vocalist Gordon Downie
hurls memorable lyrics (“Martyrs
don’t do much for me/Though I
enjoy them vicariously”) with a
passionate snarl, relishing each
syllable. The entire band is able to
tone down on the more mellow
tracks (“Fiddler’s Green, The
Luxury”), showing a flair for
diversity.

The Tragically Hip sums up their
philosophy of life in the song “Little
Bones;” “Baby, eat this chicken
slow/It’s full of them little bones.”
No such ambiguities with Road Apples
; swallow it whole — it goes down
real smooth.

—Tina Zaffrann

Too Much Joy
Cereal Killers
Giant/Warners

Nerd Rock? College Pop? Ironic
Slop? Bands like They Might Be
Giants, the Young Fresh Fellows,
Those Melvins and now Too Much Joy
mine this vein of highly catchy, witty
music. If TMBGiants were the
Replacements (“We're the
Replacements”), then TMJoy would be
the Mekons (“If I Was a Mekon,” from
their first release, Son of Sam I Am)

Too Much Joy were arrested down in
the southern states for doing a show
of 2 Live Crew covers. On Cereal
Killers, KRS-One makes a guest
appearance on “Good Kill,” a song
about war and killing and that kind of

yucky stuff.

Don’t think the lyrics are heavy

handed, though. They lyrics range

from sweet to salty. “Crush Story”

goes, “Everything you’ve ever said is
brilliant, anything you want is just fine
with me - this is much better than
love, babe, this is a crush story.”
“Long Haired Guys from England” is
about how the band can’t get laid :
“All the girls in the music biz have
credit cards/ they subscribe to Ms./
but they only want to fuck long haired
guys from England.” This album also
contains a song called “William
Holden Caufield,”a perfect title for
todays world (And if you say ‘wha?’
to that, then READ Catcher in the Rye!).
If you liked any of the bands
mentioned above, you'll love Too
Much Joy. Personally, I think this
album should be required listening for
all incoming freshman at their
orientation as “the future of rock.” No,
seriously. Not. Well, maybe a little.

Strong Characters on A Fertile Field

“In the beginning, God created the
earth, but it was seaweed that made
this field.” It is with this sentiment
the tone for The Field is set. The field
is a patch of lush green grass
surrounded by a sea of infertile,
stone-soaked land. It was the backs
of Bull McCabe (Richard Harris) and
his son Tadgh (Sean Bean), as well as
countless generations of McCabes,
that hauled buckets of seaweed to
fertilize the soil. In McCabe's Ireland,
a family without land is a family
without roots or respect. In the
Ireland foreseen by ‘the American’
(Tom Berringer), land is a commodity
to be exploited. This, as well as a
good dozen tragic themes, run
through this well crafted (but not
overly complex), thought provoking
(but not pretentious) movie.

Noah H. Wildman

The visiting American tries to buy
the land Bull McCabe toils on when
its widower landlord puts it up for
sale by public auction. The American
is ‘searching for his roots’ in Ireland,
and in the process decides to

industrialize this small, poor Irish
town by pouring concrete over the
field to gain access to the mountains
for limestone — the foundation for
highways to connect this town with
the modern world.

Bull McCabe is not a man to take his
life work, his obsession, lightly. ‘The
Bull’, as he is affectionately called by
his neighbors, is a huge, burly slab of
finely aged man with white, white
hair and a beard that gives him a
towering presence. He walks, talks,
even eats like a bull. In one scene,
Bull rages that it was his kind that
drove out the English, his kind that
suffered as the potatoes rotted and
“the last starving children howled in
the valleys,” and it was his kind that
was betrayed when his countrymen
left for America. Now those betrayers
were back to buy his | land, the land
they left behind.

Anyone who as ever felt that they
lived under the shadow of a well-
accomplished parent will identify
with Tadgh McCabe (pronounced
Tige), the angular, quiet son of the
Bull, the big man in a small town. In
the beginning of the movie we see
him pulling a childish prank that

would lead to the selling of his fathers
land, but the events of the movie
show us that its Bull’s over-bearing
obsession with the land and a
mourning for a dead son that
alienates Tadgh.

I say too much. Theres a lot to this
movie, such as themes of the place of
the Catholic church, the position of
women, and the guilt a father feels for
a son long past. The Field is a small
independent Irish movie and doesn’t
have the huge money machine behind
it like lots of American films do.

The strength of this film lies largely
in the complex and believable
characterizations created by a top
notch cast, especially Richard Harris
(and that beard!) and John Hurt.
Harris’s Bull McCabe is a character of
heroic proportions that we see
reduced from a strapping laborer to
an aged old man striking out at an
ocean of problems before our very
eyes. This is no small feat in this age
of special effects. John Hurt’s
character, Bird, is a perfect
counterpoint to Bull. Bird is a childish
little hatchling, friend of Tadgh and
attendant of Bull. Though he’s only a
childish hatchling, hes also a little

birdie in the tree spying and a stool
pigeon tattling. Hurt’s Bird is as small
and sadly stupid as Harris’s Bull is
huge and epic.

The directing by Jim Sheridan (of
My Left Foot fame) is sharp and keeps
this movie at a quick pace. The well
written script is adapted from a play,
which might explain the enthralling
way many themes are intertwined
without reducing the clarity of the
story. The rolling, treeless hills under
grey skies of Ireland give depth to the
feeling of people rooted to a harsh
land. The music score is set off by the
use of traditional Irish instruments.
All these factors give this film a
strong emotional punch that will
leave a boulder-sized lump in your
throat.

This is going to be my favorite film
for a while. In fact, I’m probably
going to see it again this weekend. If
you care to join me at the Spectrum,
it'll definitely be worth your time!

It's the state's fault

To the Editor:

On March 28th, the SUNY Board of Trustees approved
a long range tuition policy. The Trustees’ policy fixes
tuition between 25 percent and 33 percent of what SUNY
calls ‘educational costs.’ Since costs in SUNY are driven
by negotiated union contracts and inflation, this proposal
would raise tuition every year.

Currently, the Governor and the Legislature forge the
state’s public policy and SUNY’s role in that agenda.
Tuition is considered within the context of how much (or
little) the state has been able to fund SUNY, whether any
funding gaps should be filled with tuition dollars, and to
what extent increased tuition may inhibit access. After
these considerations, the Legislature and the Governor
may give the SUNY Board of Trustees authorization to
raise tuition.

What went wrong with the current policy that we must
throw it away and start anew? The fact is that under the
current policy SUNY has found it too difficult to raise
tuition. In order to raise tuition more easily the Trustees
are now advocating that tuition rates should no longer be
aresult of the public policy process.

The students believe that SUNY must be accountable
and responsive to the citizens and taxpayers of New York
State, and therefore it should remain an integral part of
the state’s public policy agenda. As we move closer to
the year 2000, public higher education becomes an ever
more important part of our economy. By the next
millennium - now less than nine years away - the
majority of new jobs will require one to three years of

higher education and more than a third will require three
or more years of higher education. Additionally, we will
be challenged by the need to educate populations that
have traditionally been closed out of higher education.
African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans and
Native Americans will comprise at least one-third of all
new entrants to the workforce.

The future development of higher education should be
very similar to the historical development of primary and
secondary in the U.S. As the economic imperative for
primary and secondary education grew in the Nineteenth
Century, a free public education system came into
existence. Given the coming workforce needs of the
Twenty-first Century, higher education - like primary and
secondary education - must be an entitlement.

The greatest challenge to SUNY in the coming years is
to educate all those who the State will need as educated
workers. To do that SUNY must have a better funding
base. Will raising tuition every year assure that this will
happen? We don’t think so, instead raising tuition every
year will only give us the assurance of - well, raising
tuition every year.

The current fixation on tuition as the answer to
SUNY’s problems is misplaced. Between 1980 and 1989,
state support as a percentage of all SUNY funds dropped
8.1 percent while tuition’s share dropped only .9 percent.
In 1983-84, the last time SUNY raised tuition (prior to
this Spring) state support dropped 2.4 percent. The $300
tuition increase this past January restored little to the $51
million SUNY budget cut. The Governor’s proposed
$500 tuition increase, if enacted, will still leave a gaping
$100 million hole in SUNY’s funding.

SUNY’s problems stem from inconsistent state funds
rather than from a lack of tuition dollars. Even if SUNY
had raised tuition every year since 1983-84 to keep pace
with costs, additional tuition would have only resulted in
a shift of state general fund monies from SUNY to some
other state expenditure.

The recession, and the subsequent shortage of state
revenue, really caused the recent fuss about tuition. The
argument that small yearly tuition increases will make
large abrupt increases unnecessary is wrong unless
someone can prove that the tuition freeze caused the
recession. The real issue is that it has become impossible
to guarantee stable tax-dollar support for the university.
As long as New York State does not have the money it
needs to operate, SUNY’s funding problems will
continue - with or without yearly tuition increases.

Athletic Fee Increase?

To the Editor:

On April 12, 1991, a bill was brought before Central
Council at the request of SA President Steve Rhoads and
Council Chair Jeff Luks. The bill proposed that a
referendum be included in the upcoming SA elections;
one which would ask for support of the notion of an
athletic fee. The amount of such a fee appeared nowhere
on the proposed referendum. It is my understanding that
this referendum proposal was drafted by the Office of the
Vice President for Student Affairs and was govern to
Rhoads and Luks by Vice President Livingston. I am
‘writing to inform the University Community of some
relevant facts regarding this matter.

* In proposing this referendum and requesting that it
be implemented next week during the SA elections, Dr.
Livingston engaged in an intricate consultative process as
required but SUNY Central. In the process, however, he
breached a 1989 legally binding agreement between SA
and the University at Albany, which is in effect through
July 1992; an agreement which was intended by both
parties to provide a stable source of income for our
athletic programs. Stipulation 12 of that agreement
requires that the University “provide SA with one year
notice of intention to implement a mandatory
intercollegiate athletic fee.” Mitchel Livingston, to my
understanding, gave SA one day.

* In requesting that SA implement the referendum and
in outlining a pathetic six day consultative process prior
to the elections, Dr. Livingston also violated SUNY
Central policy. According to Vice Chancellor Frank
Pogue’s memorandum of December 22, 1988 to campus
presidents, “the amount of the initial (athletic) fee should
be widely discussed.” Now a few days can hardly be
considered an opportunity to widely discuss the fee. As
of Wednesday night, according to IAB (intercollegiate
Athletic Board) officials (who were there in Livingston's
stead) no exact fee had even been set yet! They wanted

definitely be. Sounds like a last minute attempt to slip a
referendum through Council; a strategic plan devised, in
my opinion, by Dr. Livingston. Why else would he wait
until less than a week before proposing the fee? It’s an
old trick.

* Neither any SA officials, any representatives of the
IAB, nor Vice President Livingston notified Council
before asking its members to vote on the referendum.
Withholding information, another good tactic. Well, the
council found out about it.

This action by Livingston to attempt to implement an
athletic fee can be classified as nothing other than a
deliberate attempt to take control of the undergraduate
student contribution to the athletic department’s revenue
out of the hands of the very students who pay. Currently,
by virtue of the existing contract, these students have the
ability to decide: (1) how much of their money goes to
fund athletics; and (2) how that money will be spent.
Mitchel Livingston attempted to take that away.

Once implemented by the University, the amount of
money we would pay for the athletic fee would be up to
the University. Students could wind up paying as much
as $60 per year, twice as much as what they pay through
the Student Activity fee. The University would decide
how our money would be spent. In addition, an athletic
fee would place in jeopardy the contractual protections
we currently enjoy such as the right of students to free
admission to all home games.

Wednesday night these points were brought to the
attention of Central Council. Council rejected Dr.
Livingston’s underhanded, illegal maneuver. I am
appalled by the actions of Dr. Livingston and the SA
officials who cooperated with him. All those responsible
for this should be held accountable to the State
University of New York and the students of the
University at Albany.

Last Wednesday night Central Council acted in the best
interests of the student body. Its members should be
commended,

James Lamb
SA President 1988-89

Attacks are unjust

To the Editor:

Recently, a newsletter attacking the New York Public
Interest Research Group, (NYPIRG), called the “Right
Alternative” was distributed around campus. This article
contained outright lies and misconceptions, and must be
clarified. Here are the facts:

1. “Political groups like NYPIRG can be funded.
Mandatory Student Activity Fee funds over 100 groups,
including SASU, WCDB, ASUBA, as well as all
athletics. These bring a broad range of activities to our
campus. NYPIRG is non-partisan and works specifically
of environmental, consumer, and social justice issues that
directly affect as students. Whether an incinerator will be
built across the street from campus and issues such as
how much financial aid you will have next year are
political decisions. As students it is important for us to
have an organization like NYPIRG working for us on
these issues.

2. NYPIRG does not take money away from other
groups. When students agree to establish a NYPIRG
chapter, the Activity Fee was raised specifically for the
chapter. NYPIRG’s funding does not take away from any
other student organization.

3. NYPIRG is a student run organization. NYPIRG is
directed by a Student State Board of Directors. The
Chairperson of the State Board is currently a student
from Hunter College who recieves credit for being the
full time chairperson of NYPIRG. SUNYA is represented
by two students who are directly elected by the student
body to represent then on State Board. The State Board
make all the fiscal and policy decisions for the entire
organization. NYPIRG staff organizers increase
NYPIRG’s effectiveness by working with and training
students.

4. Students have a choice. Students vote on whether to
support NYPIRG through the referendum process.
NYPIRG is funded through the mandatory student
activity fee, as are all S.A. funded groups. Voting “no”
will mean that NYPIRG will no longer exist at SUNYA.

I hope that this will clear up the misconce; ptions
presented in the newsletter. NYPIRG is a vital part of the
campus community.

about football because she plays
the sport herself. “I like tackling
the boys”, she said, “because at
my age they think they know

Thirteen year old Sean Akpan
agreed with Maye about the
benefits pf an unplanned recess.
“Tt saves a half hour of school
work,” he said. Expressing a
more substantial evaluation he
commented, “TI liked it (the visit)
because it gave me an inside
look about how college is going
to be.” Akpan also said he was
excited because he wants to play
on a college football team when
he gets older.

Later on Kinisky related a
story about the last visit the team
made to the school. “We wore
our jerseys and they all asked for
our autographs,” he said,
chuckling at the memory.

Ford felt most of the guys
thought the program was
worthwhile to be involved in, but

admonished, “If you can get
more of these kids to be college
oriented, you’ll have less of a
problem down the line.” He
continued realistically, “An
athlete, good or bad, is placed on
a pedestal. Bring a college
athlete in (to the school) and
maybe it has an impact.”

Principal Jerry Spicer called
the program “effective”
although, he said, “You can’t see
it right away.” He further
explained, “The kids like it when
they come, it’s a novelty to them.
They’re getting a message in a
subtle way that if you stay in
school, study, and work hard, a
lot of good things will come your
way.”

As a follow up to this spring’s
program, Spicer said next Fall
the children will visit SUNYA to
attend a football game and
Purple and Gold will give them a
tour so they can get “hands on
experience of the campus.”

Sometimes, it seems, even
recess can be a learning
experience.

Safwan, Iraq
By David Crary
(AP) The U.S. military presence in southern Iraq
shrank to a narrow buffer zone along the Kuwait
border on Wednesday.
For the first time, meanwhile, U.S. soldiers
entered northern Iraq to look for sites that will
serve as camps for Kurdish refugees. The
Pentagon said, French and British troops would
build tent cities and provide food and medical care
for the Kurds.
At the southern buffer zone, the field
commander in charge of the 18,000 soldiers of the
3rd Armored Division said they would feed and
protect refugees in the area until relief agencies can
take over the work.
“We're not going to pull the plug until people
can take of themselves or until there’s somebody
else here to take care of them,” said Lt. Col. John
Kalb, who runs a sector of the Kuwait border zone
that includes the U.S. Army-run refugee camp in
Safwan.
An estimated 40,000 Iraqis are in the zone,
seeking refuge from civil unrest in southern Iraq,
where Shiite Muslims rebelled against Saddam
Hussein, About a fourth of them are fed and
treated for medical problems at the Safwan camp.
The zone, which was created under the cease-
fire implemented by the United Nations Security
Council, stretches six miles into Iraq and three
miles into Kuwait.

rs |
U.S. troops set up camps for Kurds

Iraqi and Kuwaiti military units are barred from|
the zone, but the Iraqi part of the zone is to return|
the civil control of Saddam’s government once}
U.N. peace keeping troops are deployed. Many]
refugees who deserted from the Iraqi army or]
supported anti-government uprisings fear that
changeover will give free reign to Iraqi police to}
exact revenge.

Kalb said the refugees would be safe as long as
U.S. troops were around. “If an Iraqi policeman|
shows up with a gun, I’m taking the gun,” he said.

He said that no regular Iraqi police had returned]
to Safwan, but that several secret police agents had}
been arrested by the Americans. They were}
seeking information on the U.S. military and the}
names of Iragis working with the Americans, he|
said.

Kalb said American soldiers might stay on to run|
humanitarian programs even after the 1440}
member United Nations peacekeeping force begins|
patrolling the buffer zone. No deployment
timetable has been set, and relief agencies have not}
announced plans to take over the Army’s
humanitarian work.

Kalb’s staff said the other major U.S. contingent}
in Iraq, the 1st Infantry Division, finished moving
out early Wednesday, leaving only the 3rdj
Armored from the 200,000 American Soldiers who}
occupied the area after the allied victory in late}

February.

military must first see a military
counselor. When Eric Hayes
went in for his appointment with
the military counselor, he claims
he was met with rude and
demoralizing comments. He said
his counselor told him, “I hope
you go to Saudi Arabia and
come back in a body bag.”

The next step the COs go
through is an examination by a
military psychiatrist to determine
whether they are mentally sound.
They are then sent to a military
chaplain who is usually
Christian. Keith Jones, one of
the COs sent to the chaplain
happens to be of Buddhist
Nichren Daishonin faith. Lavine
said after the men and women of
the Fox Company went through
all of the appropriate steps, their
situation went into limbo. Lavine
said only two of the twenty-one
were considered for CO status

by their superior officer.

All of the members of the Fox
Company are confined to their
base in North Carolina.

According to Lavine, who has
been a counselor to many of the
company members from New
York, they have been subjected
to cruel forms of punishment,

He said, “These people have
been put in the brig, put in
solitary confinement in cells
measuring six by eight feet,
given extra duties at all hours of
the night and they are only
allowed three hours of sleep a
night. One of the sergeants
enjoys making them line up and
ordering them to chant “I am
shit” over and over again.

Lavine emphasized the
Marines’ civil rights have been
violated, over and over again,
including the censorship of their
mail, the literature they read and
the artwork they view.

Lavine also said,” Marines
convicted of manslaughter and
armed robbery have been given
lighter sentences than the
resistors, whose only ‘crime’
was refusing to kill.”

myself from the Fox Company

U.S. Marine Corps.

Caribbean

Continued from front page
Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada,
Jamaica, St. Kitts, St. Lucia,
Trinidad and Tobago, is an

“elaborate structure of
cooperation in all areas outside
of politics.”

However, the movement

toward integration began to fade
in the mid-1980s, Hall said,
partially because of the U.S.
invasion of Grenada in 1983 and
partially because of the
criticisms of some of the
member states who claimed the
benefits from the union of the
islands were unfairly slanted in
favor of certain islands. They
felt islands such as Jamaica were
getting the better deal while
others such as Grenada were
losing out.

Hall also said several factors
have influenced the move
toward more complete
integration over the last several

84.

decades, and there has been
much disagreement over the
order in which these factors
should be considered.

External pressures have
played an important role in
encouraging Caribbean
integration. When Britain joined
the European Economic
Community, this left the
Caribbean islands with the
option of either dealing with the
EEC as individual nations or as a
federation of states, which many
felt would be a much stronger
bargaining position. This
occurrence increased the
strength of the movement for
integration, Hall said.

Both the United States and
Canadian foreign policies
encouraged the integration
movement because of their
desire to deal with the Caribbean
nations economically as one
group.

However, many Caribbean
leaders felt the movement
toward integration should not be
based on external pressures, but
instead on reducing the
dependence of Caribbean nations
on trading partners such as
Britain, the United States, and
Canada.

“Generally, the thrust was
instead of having individual
agreements, that they would
only negotiate with the islands as
a group, a package,” Hall said.
“If you look at those three
factors: the role of Europe, the
United States, and Canada,” he
added, “you can begin to some
logic to the persistence of the
notion that integration has some

benefit, so to speak.”

Other criticisms of the current
situation and move toward
greater integration include
arguments that there is a lack of
involvement and support on the
part of the Caribbean people,
with the movement government
being initiated almost solely by
government bureaucrats, he said.

Hail noted charges have also
been made that integration of all
of the islands may result in the
unfair distribution of benefits on
two levels, The vast majority of
the economic benefits will flow
to one social class, the
bourgeoisie or middle class,
including manufacturers, traders,
and bureaucrats. Secondly, he
said, the majority of the benefits
would flow to certain
governments, such as Jamaica
and Barbados and not to others,
such as Grenada and St. Vincent,
because 90 percent of the trading
that took place occurred on only
asmall number of the islands.

Hall noted three points that
were necessary for a fair and
productive integration of all
nations involved. He said such a
movement should aim at a
system of joint production and
industry, with all of the islands
linking their means of
production; such a movement
should focus more on genuine
free trade among the islands,
including the movement of
factors such as people and
investment capital, and that such
a movement should reduce the
dependence of the Caribbean on
the external world.

FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1991 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 15

By Dave Johnson

A seminar discussing the
career development process and
the work-related challenges that
face people with disabilities held
Monday in the Patroon Lounge,
was one of the numerous events
and activities was one of the
numerous events and activities
sponsored by the SUNYA
Abilities Awareness Month
Committee taking place during
Abilities Awareness Month.

Abilities Awareness Month
was designed with the aim of
increasing campus awareness to
disabled persons, the
committee’s pamphlet stated.

The seminar included a brief
video presentation on successful
disabled workers, handouts on
career planning and resources as
well as a group discussion led by
three panel members: Dr.
Delores Cimini, Ph.D., Kathy
Stock, C.S.W., and John Farina,
C.S.W.

The panel members and the
people who attended the seminar,
most of whom were disabled,
drew upon their own personal
experiences and knowledge to
answer each others’ questions on
various subjects.

In discussing career planning,
Cimini urged the group to

if the women don’t come out for
the sports. The lacrosse club,
which is in its third year of
existence and second year with
Student Association funding,
doesn’t face that problem. There
are currently 39 members on the
team. Add to this some
additional women who have
voiced an interest, and ther’s
“enough to field three teams,”
said senior Laura Garcia, who
along with Laura Damast, is co-
captain and co-founder of the
club.

Another factor that is given
weight by the IAB, according to
Moore, is ability. At this point,
women’s lacrosse is undefeated
in three games, including a 7-5
win over a varsity squad from
Castleton.

In Tuesday's ASP, more will
be discussed about interest and
some of the specfic problems the
women's lacrosse club has faced
in canpaigning for a move to the
varsity level.

examine their goals and values.
All of the panel members agreed
making contacts with people in
the field was helpful toward
becoming aware of the
responsibilities and difficulties
involved with any job.

“Talk with people who do the
job,” Farina advised.

The discussion shifted to
specific job-hunting and on-the-
job problems that confront
people with disabilities. Such
problems included companies
not calling back once they found
out that a person was disabled,
lack of accessibility, negative
attitudes toward disabled

workers and the need to educate
fellow employees about disabled
workers.

As an example of the
extraordinary circumstances that
disabled workers often face,
Stock spoke of an incident in
which an interviewer, after
finding out she was visually

orkplace

impaired, began phrasing
questions in a negative way to
make her feel like she did not
want the job. In order to receive
even basic information about the
job, “I almost had to interview
her,” Stock said.

Nearly everyone present
relayed an experience of their
own that was related to the
problems. Several people also
asked for advice in dealing with
specific problems they were
having.

Despite the committee’s
broader goal of increasing
campus awareness to people with
disabilities, there was a low
turnout.

Senior Tana Rozelle, who
participated in the seminar,
described the level of awareness
on campus as “next to none.”

However, those who attended
agreed the in-depth discussion
and advice about the problems
confronting disabled persons in
finding jobs and being successful
at them, was helpful.

Abilities Awareness Month
continues throughout the month
of April. Pamphlets containing
information about upcoming
events are available in the

Playing the number two
singles spot, sophomore Denise
Sharkey, pushed William Smith’s
Sarah Tiemey to a tie-breaker in
the second set, losing 7-5, 7-6
(7-2). Yakubowski referred to
Sharkey as an “awesome talent”.

During the Vassar contest,
Albany’s number six singles
player, freshman Gretchen
Ghent, demonstrated her ability
with a credible 6-4, 6-3 loss in
her first intercollegiate match,
versus Vassar’s Tracy
Richardson. “Gretchen’s attitude
is healthy and competitive.
She’ll develop into a fine
player,” said Yakubowski.

Freshman Stacy Sacco now
occupies the number four slot.
Sacco managed to grab four
games against West Point, and
captured praise for her intelligent
on-court mentality.

In an exhibition match against
Skidmore, a 6-3, 6-4 victory
went to senior Nancy Lederman.
Lederman has proven to be a

said Yakubowski.

Yakubowski in praise of
Roenick. “She has resilient,

An All-Conference player

Yakubowski said. Kennedy
wavers between the first two
team spots, working court angles
well and performing a power
game, he said. Last October,
Kennedy reached the
quarterfinals at the state
tournament.

Also adding to the spirited
team is sophomore co-captain
Ritu Singh from Red Hook High
and currently the number five

doubles player Robin Fox and
junior Colleen O’Connor
complete the team.

of Fitzgerald and Sharkey,
number two players Kennedy
and Sacco, and number three
players Lederman and Roenick.

The Lady Danes have faced
some elite tennis programs,
leaving them hungry for a taste
of victory. However, they are
gaining needed experience from
such steep competition.

The Lady Danes will battle the
University of Rochester here on
April 27 at 3:30.

Victory

Continued from back page
Garcia put Albany on the board,
but Debbie Guadagno knotted it
for the Saints.

Midway through the first half,
with the Lady Danes ahead 2-1,
Siena worked its way around a
poorly positioned Albany
defense and reeled off six
consecutive goals. Garcia’s third
goal ended the run, but Siena
entered halftime up 7-3.

“In the first half, the defense
did not play well,” said first-year
Albany co-coach Rob Perrego.
“It reacted to the ball, not the
players. In the second half, it
came together.”

And this was enough to keep
Siena scoreless while Albany
struck back with four straight
goals to get back in the game.
Three of them came off the stick
of freshman Virginia Postell.

“Virginia played against
Castleton with twoo sprained
ankles,” Perrego said. “I don’t
know if it’s because she’s better
or what, but I think we can see
that kind of scoring from her a
lot.”

Albany also received two
goals from junior Kathy Connel.

Junior goaltender Cori Mura,
who Perrego said is the team’s
most valuable player, was
credited with 14 saves for
Albany, including two tough
ones from point blank range with
the Lady Danes up 9-8.

The team will travel to
Skidmore College on Saturday at
12:00.

Mescallado. “We're not getting
respect. We don’t want (varsity
status) because of equality. We
want it because we deserve it.”

“Tt’s our peLiormance that
should do it,” said junior Connie

Palumbo. “We should get the
recognition.”

The club was founded in 1989
by then sophomores and present
co-captains Laura Garcia and
Laura Damast. With 15 women
on the team, Albany only played
a few games.

Last year, there were 24
members and the team finished
“2-4, 1 think, but I’m not sure,”
Garcia said.

And now? The club boasts 39
members and has received
interest from others, Damast
said. The women are undefeated
after three games (2-0-1)
including a 7-5 win over
Castleton’s varsity.

“We started with nothing,”
said Palumbo. “But now we have
35 girls (actually 39 according to
the team’s co-coach Rob
Perrego),” chimed in junior
Karen Konatich. “We deserve
ity

“We're better than half the
women’s (varsity) teams,” said
junior Kim Patlis.

“The sport is spreading across
the area,” said junior Suzanne
Meth, referring to Long Island,
where many SUNYA students
are from.

The team has managed to
fundraise $1300 last year, and
over $200 this year, said Garcia.

“There’s consistently lots of
dedication,” Mescallado said.

“We’ve done our part. Now
it’s up to the administration,”
Damast said.

addition of the women’s soccer
team in 1980-81, he said.

Further worsening the
situation was the elimination of
Albany’s gymnastics squad in
1988, although Moore claims
that this was because the team’s
coach, Tom Fiumarello, found
another job and the athletic
department was unable to locate
a qualified replacement.

3) If there is an
underrepresented sex in the area
of athletics and a continuing

necessarily have to be met as
long as the University could
show that athletic program fully
meets the needs of the
under represented sex, based on
consideration of the ability and
interests of current students. In
other words, male and female
students are satisfied with the
sports the school offers, and
don’t feel the need to any others.

Analysis of Albany: There is a
group of about 39 women that
feels the need for a varsity
women’s lacrosse team at this
school. That alone suggests
dissatisfaction with the current
status of athletics, and
considering the school’s apparent
failure in meeting the first two
standards, these women seem to
be justified in the complaints
which they have voiced.

Administration may not talk
much about the legal aspect of
the matter, but the University is
well aware _ that a strong
imbalance exists within the
athletic program.

“T wouldn’t disagree with the
numbers,” said Vice President of
Student Affairs Mitchel
Livingston, “but how do you get
the program to achieve
balance?...Athletics was only
placed within Student Affairs
this summer, so I have only had
a few months (as of February) to
become familiar with the
situation.”

“T have no problem with
change if it is appropriate,”
Moore said, adding that he is a
supporter of the women’s
lacrosse club’s campaign to
become a varsity team. “There is
no more viable possibility than
women’s lacrosse...It should
have come to fruition.”

Livingston has sent two
“unaffiliated individuals” from
Student Affairs to assess the
athletic situation. In February,
Livingston projected a target of
“before spring” for the
“assessment” (he frowned on the
usage of the word
“investigation”) to be completed.
Phone calls to Livingston to
obtain an update of the assessors
progress were not returned.

Moore sees a lack of
participation by women as one
reason for the imbalance. “Some
squads have more opportunities
(for women), they’re just not
utilized,” he said. Evidence lies
in the IAB’s April 24, 1990
“Athletic Program Review” of
Participation opportunities.
Spring track, for example,
theoretically has the space for 40
members on the men’s team and
40 members on the women’s
team. This is not what either of
these teams ends up having,
though. From 1980 to 1990, the
men’s team averaged about 45
members, while the women’s
team numbered, on average, 23.

“We go hand in’hand with the
men’s team as far as the rate of
attririon,” said Albany women’s
track coach Ron White. “We
seem to get about 50 percent of
the team to stay for the season.”
Out of about 40 women to try

" out, about 20-23 will be there at

the end of the season, he said.
Which is why women’s

‘lacrosse has such a strong case.

The university gives the
impression that little can be done

Two school records fall in men's track meet

By Mike Director
STAFF WRITER

Track is not seen as a team sport but a
telay team dispels this perception. This
past weekend the Albany men’s team took
part in the Williams Invitational and
although no scores were kept, the Danes
dominated the meet.

Competing against 14 other teams,
including Division I Colgate, Albany won
eight out of fourteen individual relays and
six out of seven running relays that it
entered.

The “Runners of the Meet,” as named
by Albany head coach Roberto Vives,
were senior tri-captain Jose Maymi and
junior Will Campana, both of whom were
members of three winning relay teams.

With the temperature in the low 40s,
times were slowed, but two school records
were still set.

The 4 x 200 meter relay team of senior
Bryant Denson, junior Wilfredo
Rodriguez, Maymi and Campana blazed
to a 1:29.12 first place and a new school
record. Denson led off with a 22.3 second

A bold move by sophomore Linda
Carioto enabled the Albany State softball
team to win a 10-9 nail biter against
Hamilton College Wednesday afternoon.
In the bottom of the seventh inning,
with the bases loaded, and two out, the
score was tied, 9-9. Senior Chris Carioto
lwas at the plate when Hamilton pitcher
Andrea Perotti threw past catcher Sarah
DeForest. Linda Carioto stole home plate
lon the play to score the winning run.

The scoring on both sides didn’t start
until the second inning when Hamilton
scored two runs. Albany (6-5) came back

split followed by Rodriguez (22.5),
Maymi (21.9) and Campana anchoring in
22.2.

The 4 x 800 meter relay team of senior
Scott McNamara, junior Joe McCullen,
freshman Dave White and sophomore
Howie Sellers set the second school
record as they broke the outdoor mark in
this race running 7:53.8.

The shuttle hurdle relay team team of
Rodriguez, senior Juan Sanchez,
sophomore Courtney Smith and
sophomore Jeff York just missed the
school record of 1:00.3 by .6 seconds.
York, who is returning from an injury, led
the way with a 14.9 second split.

The discus relay of sophomores Dave
Hurley and Brad Dean and freshman
Dimitri Jacotin set a new meet record with
a combined toss of 416’ 11 1/12”. Hurley
led the way with a toss of 147’ 7 1/2”,
followed by Dean (138’ 9”) and Jacotin
(131°6”).

This threesome then went on to win the
shot put relay with a combined effort of

Sophomore Judy Emslie brought in two
RBIs with a double,

Hamilton (1-6) scored three more runs
in the fourth to tie the score, but again
Albany came back in the same inning,
when Maria Veri hit a two-run double,

In the fifth, Hamilton scored three more
to grab the lead, 8-7, and Albany scored
one to knot the game. Hamilton failed to
get a runner on base in the sixth, but
Albany scored when sophomore Paige
Van Campen’s double drove in Cassie

with a toss of 469”, followed by Dean
(42’ 4”) and Jacotin (40’).

The 4 x 100 meter relay team of
sophomore Alex Vasquez, Denson,
Maymi and Campana won their race, in
43.0 seconds despite a bad baton pass.
Maymi took off too early and had to slow
down to take Denson’s hand off. In spite
of this, they still won by more than a full
second.

In the sprint medley (200m - 200m -
400m - 800m), the team of Vasquez,
Maymi, and sophomores Cecil Kelly and
Todd Orvis ran away with the race, as
they won in 3:39.8 and beat their nearest
competitor by over five seconds.

The 4 x 400 meter relay team made up
of Kelly, senior Derek Westbrook,
McCullen and Campana won yet again for
the Danes, as they captured first in 3:22.6.
Kelly led off in 51.9, followed by
Westbrook (50.7), McCullen (50.3), and
Campana anchored in 49.6. In their
efforts, McCullen and Campana set

clinging to a 9-8 lead, but Hamilton’s lead
off hitter reacted first on a controversial
call by the umpire.

‘That set the scene for Linda Carioto’s
dash to the plate to win the game.

Freshman Patti Gay was victorious for|
Albany, and Perotti took the loss for|
Hamilton.

Despite the win, Albany coach Ann|
Depperman was not pleased with her
squad. “We played like a junior high
team,” she said. “It was not a well-played
game. It’s frustrating.”

Depperman said one reason for her|
team’s performance is their youth and
inexperience. “We play up and down,”
she said. “We’re a young team, and it|
keeps getting thrown in our faces.” “It’s a|
good thing we played Hamilton,”
Depperman said. “A better team would
have taken advantage of us. “Indeed, the|
defense was played with errors (6 in|
total), but Hamilton had four of their own.

Depperman was annoyed enough to put|
her team back on the field for an
impromptu practice immediately
following the win.

Monday’s game against the College of|
St. Rose was rained out and rescheduled!
for Thursday.

The team will be in action for al
doubleheader at Hunter College on|
Saturday, and will play another
doubleheader against SUNY Binghamton|

Difficult paths for Albany's tennis teams

Women lose matches, not spirit

with the Division I U.S.

Senior co-captain Laura
Garcia scored five goals, but it
was a rejuvenated second-half
Albany (2-0-1) defense that shut
down Siena and propelled the
team to an 11-9 decision in
women’s lacrosse on Tuesday.
Siena (4-1 against varsity
teams) had seen a five-goal lead
completely evaporate in the

its sports programs.

There are three basic
provisions that determine whther
a school is complying with this

The first one mentions equity
in scholarship aid to athletes.
This refers mostly to tuition
costs and, in the case of SUNY
Albany, does not seem to pose
much of a problem.

The second component
concerns equity in athletic
opportunities. Among the aspects
to consider are equipment,
supplies, schedules, travel,
academic tutoring, locker rooms,
and publicity. Once again, major
violations cannot be proven here,
not necessarily because they
don't exist, but due to difficulty
in determining what all the facts
and figures are. One coach of a
women's varsity team has
complained that the squad
receives inferior uniforms to
those the men’s team gets,

second half when Garcia’s fourth
goal of the day gave the Lady
Danes a 9-8 lead. The Saints
retied the game, but junior Kim
Patlis fired a shot past Siena
goaltender Kathy Byme for the
gamewinner. Garcia, who now
has 12 goals this season, added
an insurance goal minutes later.
The two teams, who earlier
this season tied 9-9, traded
scores early in the first half.

In the third area, however,
Albany doesn't seem as clean.
This is the third part, which
Tequires the institution to
“accomodate effectively the
intersts and abilities" in order to
provide equal opportunities for
both sexes.Specifically, the
subsection titled "Application of
the Policy - Levels of
Competition” is of interest, no
pun intended. The following is a
summary and brief explanation
of each component of this
subsection, and how well the
university seems to be in
compliance of them.

1) The number of
intercollegiate level participation
opportunities for male and
female students must be
substantially proportionate to
their respective enrollments.

What this means: If SUNY
Albany, which receives federal
funds, were to have a population
of 50 percent men and 50 percent
women, then there would
theoretically have to be the same
ratio of “participation
opportunities”, or spots on
intercollegiate sports teams. If

there is a total of 100 men
playing varsity and junior varsity
sports, the athletic program must
accomodate 100 women, too. If
the population ratio was
approximately 60-40, the athletic
opprtunity ratio should be
approximately 60-40, too,
although a certain margin of
error is acceptable in some cases.

This does not mean that the
number of teams must follow
this pattern. One varsity football
team of 70 males does not equate
to one varsity field hockey team
of 25 females. In this instance,
the athletic department of a half
male, half female school would
have to find 45 more spots for
women. Realistically, an
institution with such a ratio and a
football program should have
more women’s teams.

Analysis of Albany: The
Office of Institutional Research
at the University keeps the
official records of the school’s
enrollment. For the Fall ‘90
semester, the population of
matriculating undrgraduate
students at SUNYA was 5,696
males (51 percent) and 5,463
females (49 percent), the Office
said. In the past 11 Fall
semesters, women have made up
between 49 and 52 percent of
matriculating undergrads, the
Office said. Between 1981 and
1987, women outnumbered men.

The only problem with this
estimate is that Title IX does not
explicitly state that only
undergrads are to be considered
for analysis. For the most part,
however, undergraduates make

up most of the school’s athletic
teams with perhaps an occasional
exception.

The number of athletes
participating during the year is
quite a different story. A
breakdown provided by the
athletice department showed that
in in 1989-90 (the most recent
year made available), there were
415 males (72 percent) who
competed on a varsity or junior
varsity level during the Fall
and/or Winter and/or Spring
seasons. The women only had
165 (28 percent) competitors.
Since 1980-81, the number of
male spots on teams has never
dipped below 67 percent.

2) The institution must show a
history and continuing practice
of program expansion which is
demonstrably responsive to the
developing interest.

What this means: SUNY
Albany would have to show that
as interest in sports at this school
has developed in the past, it has
responded to the interest, which
is largely accomplished by
adding new teams.

Analysis of Albany: Despite a
undergraduate which has
consistently been evenly
balanced among the two sexes
and the obvious imbalance in the
athletic opportunities, “there has
not been any sport added, men’s
or women’s, since I got here
eight and a half years ago,” said
University of Albany Athletic
Director William Moore. The
last time a new varsity team
came to SUNYA was the
