Cesare’s Jumper Nips Jersey City 76-75;

Albany Breezes To 75-56 Win In Finals

by Paul Schwartz

Tt could merely have been a
confidence builder. Or iicould haye
been the lifference in receiving a bid
to the NCAA Division 11 playofs
Whatever the result, one thing is
certain: the Elmira Invitational
Basketball Tournament this past
weekend was an event that
showeased one team — the Albany
State Great Danes.

The first game was a battle, the
second a breeze, With the pairings
matehing Albany and national
power Jersey City State in the
opening round, the prevalent feeling

Inthe finals, Albany met Elmira, a
86-76 first round winner over Mercy
College, Fresh off their stunning
Victory, the Diines simply toyed with
the host school, exploding on a 19-2

Building on that margin in. the
second half, Albany coasted to the
wn with a 75-56

‘Jersey City game was x0
tense and emotional,” suid Dune
coach Dick Saticrs, “We both felt we
were the two best teams, and that the
tournament winner would come
from our game, It was such & close,
hotly played game — itseemed every
basket was a big basket and every
lay was «big play.

our whole team

just had too much intensity, We were
too ready for them, and they never
had @ chance.”

The Dane-Gothic clash was
undoubtly the highlight of the
tournament, In the first half alone,
the score was tied seven times and
the lead changed hands on six
‘occasions, Tourney MVP Carmelo
Verdejo paced the Dane attack.with
16 first half points as Albany took a

40-39 halftime advantage. Brett
Wyatt, the Gothics leading scorer,
was almost immediate foul

trouble, and sat confined to the
bench for most of the opening half,
finding time to score only five points,

Hoth squads exchanged small
leads for most of the second half,
iis the Danes managed to open up &
50-45 led, countered by Jersey
City’s 70-66 advantage with 4:51
remaining. With just over two
minutes left in the game, the Gothies
still led, 1) +68, and appeared to bein

But is time for Cesare’s heroies
wits approaching.

Cesare promptly narrowed the

Jumpshot. Leon Smith answered
With i layup fora 73-70 score. Jersey
City pot the ball back, and stalled
until Wyatt was fouled with 1:13
remiining. Wyatt missed on his free
throw attempt, and after an Albany
time out, Verdejo put in his 23rd and
24th points to bring ths Danes closer
at 772

Coming out with a full court zone
press, the Danes applied heavy
buckcourt pressure and forced the
Goihiies into 10-second violation

with :37 to go. Albany wasted no
time in putting upa shot, with guard
Bill Bellamy connecting to give the
Danes the lead 75-74, With the
Gothics now looking almost
exclusively for Wyatt, Albany was
caught defending bit too closely
‘and Wyatt went to the foul tine with
23 left. The All-American calmly
k two shots for this 13th point in
the second half, and the Gothies had
pulled ahead 75-74,

The Danes inbounded the ball and
quickly called time out with :17
remaining, The Albany players
huddled as Sauers set up the final
play

The play was designed to get the
ball into Verdejo on the low post,”
sald Siuers, “But the timing wasn't

Cesre had possession of the ball
near the foul line with 10 seconds to
go, He dribbled to the right, but
there wis no opening for a pass

with :05 remaining, leaned into the
lune. The Gothic man-to-man
defense had Wyatt on Cesare, and,
now with four fouls, Wyatt avoided
contact with Cesare and gave the
sophomore room to shoot

{was surprised that the defensive
man wasn't near me," said Ce:

really wasn't that tough of a shot.”

Cesare’s leaning 10 foot jumpshot

ball and letting his teammates set up
his shots. His shot gave the Danes a
76-75 lead, but there was still four
seconds left on the clock

After calling a time out, the

throw the inbounds pass, which was

For Albany, it was a victory over
the 1Ith ranked team in the nation,

and a squad that was riding a 12
game winning streak, On defense,
the Danes pressing man-to-man
execution slowed down the potent
fast break of Jersey City, and
Wyatt's foul trouble caused him to
total a sub-par 18 points, However,
the 6-2 Wyatt showed his All-

game, exploding for $2 points as the

Paul Hornbach sat in the top row
of the nearempty side of the
Hleuchers in University Gym
Saturday afternoon, He watched the
‘action down below on the yellow and
‘white mat with only half-interest and
‘tinge of disgust. “I know I can beat
both of those guys. 1 just know |
" sid the Albany State soph
talter the competition had ended

Earlier in the day, Hornbach had
lust a tough 4-2 decision to
Cortland’s defending national
chimp Rick Armstrong in the 158
pound semifinals and he said he had
been intimidated by Armstrong's
title, The Dane went on to wina pair
of consolation bouts and place third
tocarnatripto the NCAA Division
II championships: but he still
wanted the title

Armstrong, a senior who is tall but
slim in the upper portions of his
body, increased his seasonal mark to
23-0. by nipping Brockpon’s Lyn
Vandenberg 8-6 in the 158 final
which Hornbach viewed with
anguish. His victory helped the Red
Dragons nip the Golden Eagles 77%
to 72% for the team in the two-
day 19th annual SUNYAC
Wrestling Championships.

The host Albany squad ran up
Against a tougher level of
competition than they had faced
while powering to an 11-9 season;
the Danes finished dead tast for the
second straight year. Buffalo placed

third with 45 points followed by
Potsdam, Binghamton, Oswego,
Oneonta and Albany lagged behind
with 13 points,

The seeding committee had put
Hornbach in the fourth slot
although he may have been the equal
of anybody in his class. On Friday
night, when the opening rounds were
conducted, Hornbach had little
trouble with Scott Slade of Buffalo
and posted a 16-7 win, The stocky,
sandy-haired Dane knew he would
be facing a national champ and may
have let it affect him

*T should have beaten him but 1
hhad it fixed in the back of my mind

that he was-a defending national
said Hornbach, who
transfered to Albany from Indiana
University last January, “He's taller

know I'm much stronger than he is
Inthe nationals, I'lljust show him no
respect.”

At the start of his confrontation
with Armstrong, Hornbach
Appeared to have an emotional edge
over his suprisingly sedate foe, The
Dane trotted around the dirt-stained
mat, he slapped his hips, fluttered his
palms and arms and confidently
snapped on his helmet, anxiously
awaiting the start, Armstrong
limbered up slightly and. calmly
strode into position,

But when the official began the
match, Hornbach went clear ayay

Students Over Old Folks

SUNYA President Vincent O' Leary may manage to aptly
coordinate the affairs of a large university, but last night he
was unable to save his team from the jaws of defeat in
Telethon's Faculty — Student Basketball game.

Coach O'Leary and his faculty team scored just 43 points
to the student’s 59 in last night's match. That sixteen point
spread was just enough to add $60 to Telethon’s 1979 funds,
for the faculty members had staked that sum on their ability

to come within fifteen points of the students total.

‘Telethon worker Diana Oruci said that the attendance at
the game was about 125 patrons, many of whom paid a
quarter for the half-time privilege of taking a shot.

‘Oruci estimates that Telethon grossed about $150 from the
fund raiser.

Remember ea

‘The prolonged sub-zero temperatures into which Albany
hhas been plunged have by now left many of us thinking that
springtime must be a long way off.

Yet all hope need not be loxt.

Think back three years, to February 1976, and maybe the
despair will fade. It was on February 2, 1976 that a
“superstorm” swept into A-town and forced then President
Emmett G, Fields to shut down the university.

But even greates relief for SUNYA students was tofollow,
for later that month the temperatures rose to the mid 70's, the
sun shone brightly and everybody's spirit received a boost

This may happen again. . . but not this weekend. The

Cold Night For Jorma

tickets for the Jorma Kaukonen concert which went on sale the

following morning.

Participants in the slee} ivi

8:30 the same evening, a few dozen
Were milling about getting
‘Acquainted with one another while
the sounds of Jorma eminated from

‘A warm, mellow, and friendly
atmosphere permeated the campus
center lounge, with an essence
typical of crowds spending the night
on a ticket line, _

“I think the togetherness is really
great,” said freshman Li
Milchman, “You get to meet alot of
people who you normally would just
say bello to.”

University Concert Board
approved the sleep-out and had
representative Bob Rothbart read a
list of names of the participating
students every hour, While those
who left were crossed off the list, the
fans who lasted the long night got
priority in their choice of seats for
the concert,

The ticket buyers stayed in the
heated campus center until midnight
when university security came to

lock the building. They then moved
outside the building where they
partied, listened to music, and tried
to keep as warm as possible in the
minus 10 degree cold.

“There should be a better system
instead of having us sleep outside in
the cold,” complained sophomore
Ron Lifson. “This is our campus
center, and special arrangements
should have been made to let us stay
inside.”

Rothbart, ajunior, who orgainzed
the turn-out, said that students have
unsuccessfully attempted in past
years to get special privileges for
concert sleep-outs.

“If you're gonna freeze to death,”
he exclaimed, “you might as well be
first for tickets.”

Rothbart, who was first on the list
of ticket getters, was amazed at the
large number of people who showed
up, He said he recognized many of
the people Wednesday as those who

The state has not yet appropriated
all of this money, he said,

Stevens feels that Draper and

Lower ceilings and new carpeting
were installed, and heating,
plumbing and electrical fixtures
were updated, But many distinctive

Stevens said that the builders are
now installing partitions to suit the
new occupants, He said these
dividing walls are being built in
what is already a finished, open
space, complete with carpeting and

for the flexibility to move office
walls around to suit future needs.

Glass Covers Stop False Alarms

by Jullette Montemurro

In an effort to combat false alarms, glass covers will soon be

installed over fire

‘According to Kirchner, 85 covers arrived yesterday morning,

though the original order was placed on September 6, Another 21

covers will be arriving soon,
Kirchner said. He hopes that by
making it more difficult to pull the
alarms the covers will discourage
people from doing 40.

The arrival of the covers follows a
meeting held Wednesday, at which
Colonial Quad Central Council
Representatives, Lloyd Bishop and
Lisa Newmark, made clear to Dean
of Student Affairs, Neil Brown,
student concern over the recent rash

of false alarms at the Colonial Quad

tower.
\ The covers due to arrive in

October never did due to #
manufacturers delay. The
‘Administration has been in frequent
contact with the manufacturer,
However, as a result of student
pressure, Kirchner admitted, “We
have called them more in the past
two days.”

The 300 covers costing $19 a piece

will be placed in the towers rather
than the low rise dorms, ‘since they
fare more susceptible to false alarms,
explained Newmark, Colonial Quad
will be the first to receive them.

In addition to the glass covers, «
fact sheet has been drawn up by
Newmark, Kirchner, and head of
Fire Safety, Karl Scharl. Aimed for
those people who during alarms no:
longer leave their rooms due to the
frequency of false alerts, it will be
distributed throughout the campus,

asked why they decided to hold
class downtown, Dumbleton said
they wanted “to appeal to an
Audience of adults.”

In his lecture Dumbleton
explained that SUNYA wanted to
“touch the public” and make the
“resources of the university available
to them."He said in mid-March
there will be an Irish exhibit at the
museum displaying various artifacts
and crystal, with photographs of the
landscape and the authors of Irish
literature.

Irish Literature Taught

tm"Bredents” of all ages flocked to downtown Albany on Saturday
afternoon to hear Professor William A. Dumbleton begin a unique
‘or the first time a SUNYA course, Irish
Literature and Culture, is being taught outside of the Campus at the
Cultural Education Center Auditorium in the Nelson A. Rockefeller

“[ was overwhelmed” with the attendance stated Dumbleton in an
interview at a later date, He said 438 people attended, even more than

only.

Dumbleton began his lecture by
saying that he has taught at
SUNYA for 25 years. He has a
doctorate in 19th and 20th Century
British Literature and a masters
degree in Irish Literature, which be
received at Unitversity College in
Dublin. He is having a book
published on the Irish poet James
Cousins and is working on 1 second
book on Irish authors who moved to
England,

Dumbleton briefly explained
what would be covered by the five
units” throughout the 15 weeks and
indicated the books or movies which
would be discussed at each lecture:
Irish history with the turmoil of the
1978 rebellion, potato famine and

the 1916 rebellion; Irish country life,

literature and music; later poems of
Yeats; Dublin; and growing up in
Ireland.

Dumbleton said he has found a
recurring theme throughout his
studies of the Irish: “The Irish haye
an individual or distinctive
perspective and see things in a
different kind of way. This dual
vision includes not merely « material
reality but a supernatural realitu at
the same time, beyond that which is
concrete and material.” He credited
this uniqueness to the country's
isolation from the rest of Europe,
which allowed Ireland to be
unaffected by the Holy Roman
Empire, its fall, and the Dark Age:
The Celtic civilization was highly
developed and did not become
Romanized with the rest of Europe.

An interesting lecturer,
Dumbleton related anecdotes of his
year in Ireland, In one of his
conversations with an Irishman in a
pub, the Irishman, complaining
about the building of the Panama
Canal, stated: “If the good Lord
wanted the Atlantic flowing into the

Acquisation.
“Instead of telling me what to do
whent [got in the game,” Frazier
said, “he told me be doubted I would
play again this season. That didn't
make much sense to me.”
Quatrocei, who is in his first year
of coaching at Albany State denied
this and said it was ridiculous,
Quatrocei’s being a first year
coach may have been a small part of
the problem said Suckett but
Frazier wasn't sure, “Iaon't know if
that had any bearing onit," he said.
Five players on the Junior varsity
team were questioned about the
situation and gave varied responses.
All the players asked to remain
anonymous.

Two of them said they thought it
was the basketball program itself,
not the J.Y. coach that caused the
situation, They Went on to explain
that the J.V. coach was required to
use the same system as the varsity
team, That system calls for emphasis
of three big men {forwards, center}

(on the floor and forces the guaras to
concentrate on getting the bigger
players the ball, reported the two
Beye ite

The problem, they said, is that
most of the black J.V, players are
small (Frazier is 5-10, Duckett 6-1)
and had {o adapt to the guard's role
of sit the bench.

‘One player said, “Guards can't
‘open up because of the system.” In
reference to the discrimination
question, Whatever
happens isn't the j.v. coach's fault.
You can’t blame him, you have to
blame the system.” He continued
with, “He [Quatrocei] has never
shown any prejudice towards meand
Ive never seen him show any
towards other players,”

The second player agreed. “I
‘wouldn't say it was him personally, |
guess he has to foli w the format,
being the J.V. coach,” he said,

The first player cited the coach's
move from high school to college
coaching and his lack of having
(coached biack players as another

possible cause of problems. “It's a
fbig step coming from high school t0
college,” he said. “I don’t know if he
eally knew how to relate to black
players.”

Other players also had thoughts
on the matter. One said, “I don't
believe it was a matter of prejudice; 1
don't think the coach is prejudiced. 1
think the main problem was a
personality conflict.”

‘Two players took opposing sides
onthe issue, “No, Ldon't think ther is
any prejudice at all, coach isn't like
that,” said one, “He would go out on
fa limb for any of his players. He
treats everyone as an equal.”

The other player expressed the
opposite sentiment, “I feel they had
every right to quit, especially Keith.
No one could explain why his
playing time was cut," The coach, he
said, “acted ina prejudiced manner.”

When asked how many black
players started, Quatrocci said, “I
don't know. I know my players by
name not color.”

hhave been evidence to arrest me
because I sort of fit the description,
but not beyond that.”

“When you're in here for

can't rule him out. All she saw
during the minute or two the man
was standing at her window, was his
face from the base of the chin to just

hove the eyebrows, He had as arf
‘around his neck and a knit cap
pulled down over his head. She
testifies that the man had a brown
mustache, not a long one she s1ys
more likely of medium length.

Robinson as a bushy, ted
mustache that even conservatives
would estimate as being long. It
extends back to his sideburns to
form a very turn-ofsthe-centuryish
look,

Robinson doesn't own a camel

describes the man in the bank as

Albany Police Officer Douglas
Maysille, who made the fingerprint
identification that led to Robinson's
‘arrest, testifies that in his six years
experience he hud never made an

‘entification based on as few as

seven points. In fact, Mayville
admits that the identification was a
“marginal” one, and that the number
of distinguishing points in a
fingerprint can be as many ai 25 or
30,
‘But Mayville says it is “the latent
fingerprint examiner's decision,
through his experience, through the
‘amount of latent fingerprint that you
have, if the points match in the same
given area, its an identification.”
Oddly enough, at the same

bank robbery takes place at the Bank
of New York's branch on State St.
The robber who gets away fits the
descriptions of the man in the Home

Robinson is still in jail, because of a

would force ETS and other testing companies

{o disclose test questions and answers, and all
studies and data on the tests; it would also
require companies to keep information on
applicants confidential, Disclosing test
answers would enable students to contest
disputed answers, and thus eliminate much of
the mystery surrounding the tests. ETS has
said it is willing (o release 99% of its test data.
But, Nairn says, the bulk of this 999% is the

This letter is in reference to the letter

‘The first set concluded with an upbeat
tune, during which Mr, Moses had his
chance to solo. Moses, with roots deeply
embedded in the 1960's New York City
style, is a very reactive player and showed
his alert responsiveness during his solo
work. Polyrhythmically developing his
solo into acomplex, but coherent mass of
sound, he did not once lose his audience,
While he is not an innovator on the
drums, Moses certainly contributed to
the group's improvised segments, He
frequently had control over the tone of
the group's playing.

resembled a four-way conversation, with
each player answering the others.
Included in the set were two new Chic
Corea tunes — “Song for Gayle,” and a
composition not yet titled. Additionally,
they played “I'm Your Pal,” a
composition by former Burton bassist,
Steve Swallow, whose absence after many
years with the quartet was notable.

Chip Jackson, a rc *:nt addition to the
group, handled the bass parts
competently, However, he was unfamiliar
with some of the tunes, and at times had
to read off his music. Jackson was not as
free on his instrument as the others, and
during his solos was hesitant in “going to

should have written this article

about a year and a half ago,

In the past 16 months, two

events have transpired that

make me question the theory

behind the upcoming discourse, The

theory is this; Bruce Springsteen, Billy

Joel, and Jackson Browne are the three

biggest names in American rock music

these days, and they ought to be

compared or scrutinized since they so

richly deserve their respective positions.
their respective positions,

Richie Mermelstein

The two events that seem to mar the
theory: the releases entitled 52nd Street
and Running on Empty, Springsteen's
‘most recent endeavor doesn’t lend much
credence to my theory either, but
Darkness on the Edge of Town is at least
consistent with the works that brought
him to the top, whereas the latest albums
from Jackson Browne and Billy Joel are
complete puzzlers. So, I'll simply pay the
two discs as little attention as possible and
concentrate on other aspects of the
performers and their works,

In a time when British stars threatened
toblow American solo artists off the map,
Springsteen, Joel, and Brown arrived as
saviors, The Elton Johns and Rod
Stewarts and eventually, Peter
Framptons had gotten too big for their,
or anyone else’s good. Neil Young and
Bob Dylan had carried the ball for quite a
while, but found their interests had
changed, and headed for pathetic movies
and intangible recordings. The U.S.
didn't have any respectable rock kings.

It wasn't merely that the time was ripe
for the three to emerge. The trio didn't
magically appear overnight, and,
importantly, didn't make a million bucks
their first time out. Billy Joel tells us in
“Piano Man” how he toiled along the bar
route, Jackson Brown admits that he
spent years touring Greenwich Village
clubs, and when Springsteen showed up
‘on the covers of Time and Newsweek,
people were shocked to learn that the
“sudden smash star” had already released
three albums,

Ron Guidry will tell you how valuable
a long apprenticeship can be. Those who
work so hard for their success, and so
long, seem to appreciate it more when it
strikes. Springsteen, Joel, Browne, and
Guidry deserve their fame, They work at

their craft, -

Before Springsteen does a concert, he
spends the better part of the afternoon
testing each section of the arena for
sound, Among promoters, his stand: ds
are reknown as the most stringent —, ~'s
not just meticulous, they say, he's
outright pain in the ass. And Jackson
Browne spent two years deliberating how
to follow his Late for the Sky.

So, the bottom line appears to be the
amount of effort that the performers with
the already extraordinary talent put in,
Aside from this, it's hard to find pegs to
plant in comparing the artists, other than
the fact that they all have impressive lyrics
in their songs, when compared to the rest
of the music world.

Jackson Browne's talent is for
discussing big things, I'm talking very big
— apocalyptic, Somehow, he saw the
futility of some people's existence when
he was still a teenager, and wrote “These
Days” in 1967. Joel, on the other hand,
tells personal stories, and like
Springsteen, frequently intends the
stories to ring true for a generalized niche.
Browne sings fewer direct love songs tha:
the other two, and refuses to perform his
best one, “Ready or Not,” since his wife's
suicide.

The characters in Jackson Browne's
and Bruce Springsteen's songs have
suffered. Billy Joel once visited the
suburbs and found it unpleasing, but
"The Great Suburban Showdown”
hardly compares with the helplessness felt
by Rosalita’s lover, or Adam's friend

wrote “Factory,” after watching his father

defined.

Speak with the experts, the policy-
makers, the policy-followers, and the
viewing public. Attempt to arrive at a
conclusion. But the only real consensus is
the confusion, the ambiguity. about the
Jaw, and the nature of the subject. The
problem starts at the top.

“The average person, applying
contemporary community standards
finds the material patently offensive and
appealing to the prurient interest. In
addition, the material, taken as a whole,
must be void of any artistic, political, or
scientific value,” This is part of the
Supreme Court's definition of obscenity,
Who's the average person? How do you
define community? The Court leaves us
hanging. And arguing, in courts around
the nation. Probably, some small
community somewhere could find a Walt

sex-crimes.” Maybe,

Dr. Robert Athanasiou became
interested in the subject of pornography
sometime around 1970 (he kiddingly
answered, “At age 11 or 12.") while doing
postdoctoral work at Johns Hopkins.
Since then he has lectured extensively on
the topic. He is an acknowledged expert.

Athanasiou relates that studies have
shown that the whole Danish experience
(where obscenity laws don't exist) has
decreased their’ incidence of sex crimes
and, more importantly, the recidivism
rates of sex criminals in that society, Itis

his contention that the same
desensitization of society to the issue
could occur here, given similar
circumstances,

But, obscenity laws do exist here, and
Athanasiou is well aware of the many
problems that exist in making the laws
work, To make his point clearer, he tells a
story.

“Every year I must badger the customs
department so that I can materials for my
lectures,” he said, “I need permission so

York. 1 stopped into an adult bookstore

currently on the market, They had the
exact materials that L,imported from
Denmark. This is an example of the
pluralism of ignorance. Officials are
trying to prevent méterial from coming in
that is already a part of the community.”

Definition of community is the
important concept in the current debate
at SUNYA over whether Tower East
Cinema and Albany State Cinema will

January 1976, it is stated that
‘community is defined as broader than the
campus community, Also, if the film is
currently on “trial” in the New York State
or Federal Court System, it cannot be
shown (except when it is part of an
educational program that is in keeping
with the educational program standards
of the University.) This is why ASC and
‘TEC were advised not to show “The Devil
and Miss Jones,” and “Deep Throat,”

respectively.

‘According to Kathy Nussbaum (Asst.
Director of Student University Activities
and Campus Center), there is litigation
against both movies in Albany County.
While Jim Doellefeld (Acting Director)
has commissioned legal advice to find out
exactly who would be liable (if a
complaint was brought against a movie
shown here), and what the likely
definition of community is as applied to
this campus, Dr. Athanasiou vehemently
asserts the rights of the university to show
these movies without fear of prosecution.

“I find it offensive that a state
institution is being intimidated when law
precludes their being prosecuted,” he
said. Athanasiou claimed that there has
never been a case of university losing such
‘a case, It is always considered that the
movie is shown for educational purposes
in such a situation. Also, the University is
‘a community in and of itself (especially
when non-ID holders are not admitted to
the movies — ASCand TEC policy for X-
raters), “If you could show a clear and
present danger, it would be different,” he
added, “That’s not what we're talking
about. Limiting what people can do based
on taste, values, opinions, not on
behavior — for that to go on in an
institution of higher learning is totally
offensive to me.”

Doellefeld, in a sense, agrees. “People
should be exposed to the full range of
cinematic endeavors. We do not in any
way want to censor the films.” But
Doellefeld, after considering that since
1976 precedent has been set in the courts,
has decided to retain legal advice before
changes, if any, are made in a new film
policy. Would the film policy be
developed before the student groups have
to inform the distributors whether or not
to book the films? “I don't know,”
‘answered Doellefeld.

Why do people want to show X-rated
movies in the first place? Money?
Admiration for the quality of the
product? Cheap thrills?

Bob Leo, Director of TEC, says that his

‘organization (which is not SA funded)”

looks for movies that are good and will
make money, Why “Deep Throat?”

“T've been told it is the best porn movie
ever made, It's funny and entertaining. It
is a way tomake money,” Bob answered,

He went on to explain that “Throat”
only costs $375’ as compared to “Foul
Play” which costs $1000. He considers
“Throat” a guaranteed sellout.

“People don't usually get a chance to
see it, We would want to show movies like

‘Star Wars,’ ‘Close Encounters’; movies
people would go see. ‘Deep Throat’ fits
into that category.”

‘There are some people, however, who
do not hold “Deep Throat” in such high
regard, Leo attributes the following
statement to the assistant D.A. —“If my
daughter went to that school and they
showed ‘Deep Throat’, I would pull her
out.”

Albany State Cinema, although funded
by SA, has a similar philosophy to TEC,
Marilyn Forman, president, explained
that their aim is to show popular movies
at low prices. She said that they also

movie available on a certain date. They
have set aside an open date foran X-rated
movie. Does this mean some sort of
acknowledgement of the high quality of
production associated with X-rated
movies?

“We're using student tax dollars. If
that’s what they want, we'll show it,” she
commented. Marilyn conceded, however,
that if there was a choice to be made
between the porn flick and any other
movie on the schedule, the X-rater would
not be shown. Furthermore, the ASC
‘board vetoed “Fritz the Cat”, a critically
acclaimed X-rated cartoon — for “racial

to book the “First Erotic Film Festival,”
provided there is a new policy front SA
that permits such a movie to be shown, In
business, whatever the
people want, the people get. On this
campus, they want porn.

On the other local campuses, the
situation varies, Are there any specific
policies regarding the presentation of X-
rated movies on the campus of RPI?

‘The spokesman at the other end of the
phone laughed. “I think it’s against school
policy — it’s never been done.”

Siena?

An official-sounding voice in their
Student Affairs office answered. Very
officially, “There is no separate policy.
However, Code of Rights and
Responsibilities has a statement that
covers the exclusion of X-rated movies
from being shown on campus.”

Dave is okay too, by some community

‘Springsteen relies more on the harsh
‘sounds of the words he chooses, but ran
rampant in one outing, attempting to use
every poetic trick in the book at once. The
result sounded, great, but upon second
reading one realizes that the lyrics’ make
about as much sense as a schitzo's
ramblings (“some brimstone baritone

the cast, He says, ‘Dethrone . the
dictaphone, hit it in it’s funny bone, that’s
where they expect it least.”)
What Springsteen does portray
inimitably is the futility of being trapped
in the trenches alongside New York City.
‘A powerless yearning to escape their
‘overwhelming environment lives within
Wendy and Rosalita and Eddie and Mary

‘Of the three, Joel is the most talented at

Springsteen's recent hiatus led to a
growth in his guitar playing prowess, but
he's content to let Clarence Clemmons
gain the notoriety from the instrumental
critics.
From the standpoint of the concert-

It's surprising that of the three, Browne
was the first to come out with a live
album, because he’s the most inconsistent
‘on stage. At RPI two years ago, his only
contact with the crowd was while
wondering aloud what the name of atown
near here was —“it began witha'C’”, he
said over and over, through the course of
the show. Finally, he remembered that it

Browne's Running on Empty is
Unconventional in that it’s live, but filled
with new songs, only two of which are his
compositions. That’s why it has so little
relevance to any flaming generalizations
I'd make here,

All three of the American superstars
have put out their least noteworthy
albums during the past sixteen months.
After cach artist's next record, the list
may be shortened, for they've already
beaten the odds by staying on top for this
long.

It’s unlikely that any one of them will
lose their favor in their native towns,
though. The Los Angelinos will still take
care of Jackson, and Bruce will always
have the boardwalk. Billy Joel, who has
managed to make every Long Islander
swear they know him, or his brother-in-
law, or the village green, or the Italian
Testaurant he sings about, will probably
cling to a youthful audience of Oyster
Bay, Cold Spring Harbor, or Syosset
devotees. For the record, he actually did
play piano at my aunt's house in
Hicksville, but I'm sure there's a thousand
‘Gislanders’ here making the sameclaim,

emember The New York
Dolls? That weird bunch of
guys (girls?) that used to play
strange, [oud rock and roll
decked out in drag. Well, if
lyou don't, David Johansen can tell you all
about them, although he'd probably
rather forget. Johansen was the Doll's
lead singer. He has recently gone solo. As
ithe Doll's principle lyricist /songwriter,
johansen was responsible for some of

hat group's unheralded contributions to

frock and roll, Songs like “Personality
,” “Trash,” and “Vietnamese Baby”

have become classics of the New Wave
orld, as well as to the rock and roll

bstablishment. Singing about personality
rises and appearing on stage as
insyestites, the group cleverly mocked

the experience of growing up.

ary Douglas

ithe Dolls broke up after experiencing
personal problems. Since then, Johansen
formed his ownn group (The David
Nohansen Group), cuthis hair, cleaned up
i}his appearance, released an album, and
toured extensively, This included a stop
last Thursday at the Hullaballoo.

His music is energetic, witty and
engaging. There is an air of intelligence
and sarcasm behind a facade of
simpleness. He is self-effacing and modest
— least of all pretentious. When asked
what his favorite groups were during an
\ |) .interview. with the media before last
week's performance Johansen replied, “I
like everything, everything affects me. I
guess I'm a pretty affected guy.

In concert, his music is frenzied and
fratic. Last week’s performance, which
‘was an encore performance of his sold out
concert at the Palace a month ago, was
wildly exciting to say the least. Johansen
seemed to thrive on the crowd’
enthusiam. Called out for four encores,

After The Dolls
Still Exciting

he was still able to gather strength each
time, frolicking about the stage with great
energy. At one point, in between encores,
the crowd, obviously familiar with
Johansen's material, began chanting the
‘back up vocals to “Girls”, a song from his
first album that leaves no doubt about
David's heterosexuality,

Johansen played most of the material
from his first album including a great
rendition of the most popular song from
the album “Frenchette”. Remembering
his past, Johansen played three songs
from the old New York Dolls; “Looking
Fora Kiss", “Babylon”, and “Personality
Crisis” (the first encore).

Also included in the repetoire that
night were some bubble gum oldies done
in a rare streetwise style, Given a fast
steady beat, “Build Me Up Buttercup”,
was done with serious overtones as
Johansen shook his fist and sung, with
outrage “Why do you build me up
Buttercup just to let me down?” Johansen
seemed sarcastic also, this remaining
humorous and unpretentious. The group
did another bubble gum song by the Four
Tops, whom he claimed were one of the
greatest rock groups. Also performed was
‘an obviously mocking rendition of
Bonnie Tyler's “It's A Heartache”,
Johansen saw the need to makefun of the
seriousness of Tyler’s song.

Johansen now seems preoccupied with
keeping things on the lighter side. In his
first album, Johansen sings of pretentious
romanticism — sarcastically replying to
an overloving female in the song
“Frenchette”, “I get all the love I need in a
luricheonette, I've been to France, so lets
just dance.”

Perhaps, ironically, dancing is all that
Johansen wants people to do today,
Having accquired a sense of modesty and
having lost a little fait in the rebel image
of rock and roll Johansen sees no need to
romanticize rock and roll, In short
Johansen no longer suffers from a
personality crisis,

“like everything, everything
affects me. | guess I’m a pretty
affected guy.”

The Real
Man of Steel

To the Editor:

I'm writing in regard to Ben Gable’s “Up in

the Sky It’s Superman.”, Perhaps Ben Gable

BP and I saw different prints of Superman — the
DY) Movie, or perhaps we are familiar with a
| different character, or maybe even somehow
he hits been on the moon or Krypton itself for
two years and did not have a chance to be
bombarded by all the media hype that told us
the producers wanted a story about people

and Superman's interraction and conflict with
these people. As recall, they also haye said on
countless occasions that they wanted to avoid.

the Batman Television Show “camp”

k approach, We got what they promised.

Mr. Gable claims he grew up with
superman, Well, so did 1 and J have read his
n years and

exploits in the comics for sevent
have watched The Adventures of Superman
on TY for twenty, I believe Mr. Gable wants to
have his cake and eat it too. On the one hand
he claims the comics are unreal, On the other
J) he claims some of the episodes of the TV show
f fare unrealistic, Isn't it amazing that in the
Dy movie we get realism, as well as funny lines,
and what Ben likes best is character
development. Not only is belief well
Psuspended™, remember, this is Super!
BP we're talking about and how realistic is he?
PP This movie works well. It is about Superman,
Punlike the old Television show which might
Bhave better been called “The Adventures of
[Clark Kent”, for it took place in the Daily

PpPlanct and George Reeves only had a brief
fptint as Superman once or twice a show to get
HPthngs moving or to wrap things up.

The comics are Superman's first and purest

medium. The movie does not overlook this
and perhaps you noticed the movie pays
homage to Action Comics and June 1938,
here and when Superman debued, in the first
Hew frames, This indicates to me where the
novie gets its background
And the movie is a delight to fans of
Superman and of his comics. A very special
Jegend has developed around the defender of
truth, justice, and the American Way” and
the movie is true to it. This unfortunately for
Ben includes the silly role of Jor-Eland the
council where he tries in vain to warn them of
Krypton’s impending doom. I was touched by
the farewell to baby Kal-El
I'm glad Superman finally looked like he
leould fly, He certainly didn't dwell on his
abilities, He landed on Lois’ balcony as if he
had just gotten out of a car and went on to
more character development
Yes Ben, there was character development
Clark Kent was finally a good disguise. He
finally showed affection for Lois Lane and in
his final triumph did he save Metropolis from
arth from a missle? No! He

an asteroid? T

fails saving California because hi
Someone's mother and Lois Lane dies! Di

Then the orphan from k

ypton must make a

moral decision greater than any of us will ever
be forced to make, to save Lois or let her die.
He cries out in anguish and flies skyward. His
father forbids. him to interfere with history.
His foster father tells him, “son, you are here
for a reason,” The very man he “with all his
powers... . and he couldn't even saye him.”
“The Man of Stee!” defies his father and turns
back time (something he has always been
unsuccessful trying todo in the comics) to save
his love. What a final moment!

I will not bore you with other examples of
character development. However, the marvel
of this movie is that the background and
development is portrayed visually, not roldin
an introduction, The only introductions are to
Superman's birthplace: the depression and
Action Comics and to the Daily Planet, Even
casual watchers of the old Superman TV
program will remember “Faster than a
speeding bullet, more powerful than a
locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a
single bound, look up inthe sky... .” Ben, you
claimed you missed this in the movie, That is
why I question whether we saw the same print,
Try to remember the first three feats we see
Superman perform: Clark Kent catches a
Muggers speeding bullet aimed at Lois, young
lark Kent jumps a Kansas Star train, and
Superman, in aspectacularentrance, leaps the
Daily Planet building to save Lois Lane ina
helicopter accident.

Isn't it wonderful to see humor without
camp. I refer to the color of Lois’ underpants,
the phone booth scent, and Superman indeed
making himself the “Man of Steel,” when he
stops a train from derailing, 1 could go on.

Yes, 1 too went into the movie with certain
expectations, twenty years of them asa matter
of fact, Everyone of mine was greatly
surpassed.

Is Justice Alive?

Ever since about third grade, we young Americans have been
constantly taught the basic tenets of democracy that supposedly
underlies our existence as a republic. They are fused into our minds,
much in the same way as propoganda is spread, and once imbedded, not
easily forgotten.

Maybe that’s good, or maybe that’s bad; it depends on what you
think. But one underlying cornerstone of rights in America that cannot
be denied is that a person is innocent of a crime until proven guilty
through due process of the law. The very essence of our justice system
relies on keeping to this; for once this right is denied, everything that
follows is nothing more than mockery of the law, from arrest to !rial

John Ritchie Robinson, a fellow SUNYA student, was arrested over
two months ago at his room in Seneca Hall, for an
attempted bank robbery, and has been sitting in a jail cell ever since,
guilty until proven innocent. The evidence they have on Ritchie is
absolutely inconclusive- a seven point matched finger print, when the
FBI's minimum standard is twelve points for identification.

All of the other facts seem to prove Ritchie innocent- the testimony of
friends as to his whereabouts during the attempted robbery, his looks
compared to the description the tellers provided and a subsequent
robbery that occured while Ritchie was in jail, Yet Ritchie still sits in
jail. Why? Because of one piece of “evidence” that the State will fail to
mention as a cause for the arrest- the fact that Ritchic is an ex-convict.

So Ritchie Robinson still sits in a jail cell, and his trial won't even
come up before April or May. He is a victim; a victim of the American
legal system's violations. But he is not the only victim. By i ignoring

Ritchie, and others in his same position. we are in a sense givingintothe
dissolution of an America based on some “inalienable” rights, and
allowing this trend to continue,

Recently, though, a group has been formed called the Committee to
Uphold Student's Legal Rights, and they are in the process of taking a
number of actions to support Ritchie and pay for his legal fees. This
new group is frighteningly necessary in this day and age, yet itis relieving
to see fellow students who will not let their rights be violated.

‘This newspaper wholly supports the efforts of this group in their aidto
John Ritchie Robinson, and hopes they continue on this campus long
after Ritchie has his day in court, working to help students take full
advantage of their rights. But at the moment, students must work to
make sure that when that day in court does come for Ritchie, it will
arrive on the wings of true American justice, and not ona ghost ofanage
long past.

Hayes Is Defended By Colleague

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Ohio State
University handled the dismissal of
longtime head football coach
‘Woody Hayes “miserably,” says
Duffy Daughtery, former head
conch at Michigan State,

“There should have been a
cooling-off period,” Daugherty said
Wednesday. “ The president really
should have called him in and said,
“Woody, you're 66 years old and it's
time for a change.”

Hayes was fired Dec, 30, the day
after slugging a Clemson linebacker
whose pass interception in the Gator
Bow! killed Ohio State's Iast chance
to win,

Daugherty, who coached more
years against Hayes than anyone
¢lse, said the former Buckeye mentor
is far from tne reporter-hating
introvert he appeared to be.

Daugherty, head football coach at
Michigan State from 1954 to 197?
and a veteran of 10 Big Ter
Conference battles against Hayes
recalled him as a masterful tacticia’
who was devoted to past and present
Ohio State players and self-effacing
in defeat by his peers

“I remember one year when we
beat Ohio State near the end of the
season and it cost them the national
championship. Woody fought his
way through the crowd and —I was
‘on my players’ shoulders — took
both my hands and congratulated
me," said Daugherty, here for a
sports awards banquet.

Daugherty also predicted the so-
called “Little Eight” of the Big Ten
would reach football parity this fall
after years of being dominated by
cither Ohio State or Michigan, and
said he expects Michigan State to
play in the 1980 Rose Bowl

Daugherty said the resurgency of
teams such as Michigan State and
Purdue would have come regardless
of the Buckeyes’ coaching situation.

Daugherty, who went into
broadcasting from his retirement
until 1977 and now runs Coach of
the Year Inc, clinics, said Hayes.

clinic Sunday in San Francisco,

“T have never heard one bad word
about Woody —from his players or
anyone else who knew him,” suid the
white-haired former Michigan State
mentor.

Daugherty, a former Syracuse
University performer and assistant
coach for the Orange and at
Michigan State under Biggie Munn;
said he thinks Michigan State
proved the equality of the league by
lying for the Big Ten crown in 1978
although ineligible for post-season
play because of an NCAA
probation,

New Coach
He said it would be difficult for
new Buckeye Coach Earl Bruce to
keep Ohio State in a two-way
stranglehold on the conference,

“He is an outstanding coach, but

Layoff Causes No Problems
As Spikers Down Two Foes

by Mike Dunne

“It was like starting the season all
over again, We practiced hard but
were game-stale,” said men's
volleyball coach Ted Earl after his
team's performance in victories over
New Jersey Institute of Technology
(NJIT) and New Paltz Wednesday
ight. T © squad was forced into an
eleven day layoff following the
cancellation of a match with Rutgers
on February 7,
sThe opening match was not as
tough us expected because NJIT was
without three of their starters, The
Danes were sharp but still managed
to stay unbeaten on the season witha
15-7, 15-5 triumph

Stiffer Test

New Paltz posed a stiffer test for
Albany as the home team came back
from an early deficit to close within
two at 8-6, The Danes then scored

four straight points with Gene

Sosiak serving to put the game on

ice,

‘The New Paltz squad started
much better in the second game,
staying close to Albany, However,
Earl's team got it's offense clicking
during the middle part of the match
and went on to win 15-8

‘These two road victories give the
Danes a perfect 4-0 record for the
season, They will get their first test of
the season this Saturday when they
Visit Piscataway to face Rutgers,
Rutgers is ranked Sth nationally and
they possess what Earl describes as
a very quick offense,”

Earl was once again pleased with
the strength of his bench and felt that \
everyone on the team played well.”
Earl feels that his strong depth will
bea key factor in the Danes success
this season,

Tonight’s The Night: Albany vs. Potsdam

SUNYAC Title At Stake As
Danes Seek Playoff Berth

by Paul Schwartz

Anything but this very situation
would have been a surprise, Both
teams expected to be somewhere

near their present positions, and both
looked at the other as the team to
beat, The teams — Albany State
Great Danes and Potsdam Bears
‘The stakes — high. The prize —very
likely the SUNYAC basketball
championship and an automatic bid
to the NCAA playoffs.

When Albany and Potsdam clash
tonight in University Gym, it will be
the first head-to-head confrontation
this season between two squads that
haye been watching each others’
every move, The Danes enter the
game with impressive enough
credentials — a 6-1 record in
SUNYAC competition and 15-5
overall, plus a seven game winning
streak,

However, those numbers pale
when compared to the package
Poisdam has managed to put
together. The Bears own an 8&1
conference mark, and boast a
glittery {9-2 overall record, Also,
Potsdam is currently riding a 15
game winning streak,

“They are the best team that will
come into our gym this season,” said
Dane couch Dick Sauers, “And
they're better than the team they had
last year — the one that won the
SUNYAC championship.”

‘As far as this year's SUNYACtitle
is concerned, it appearsto be a three-
team race, Behind the two favorites

conference record, Potsdam handed
the Cardinals their first SUNYAC
loss Tuesday, whipping the home
team 65-53, and the Danes will travel
to Plattsburgh this Tuesday.

game looms even more crucial,

Albany a great deal of trouble

Potsdam has clearly been effective
Using the zone defense, butit has also

Oneonta earlier in the season,
Potsdam’s unwillingness to part with
their zone played a major role in
Oneonta's 79-54 victory, “Potsdam
wanted to play their zone,” said
Sauers, “but they got way behind
early inthe game, and eventually had
to come out of the zone,”

The Danes will also have to deal
with the Bears solid front line, fed by
6'4" center Derrick Rowland and his
22.9 scoring average,

“He's one of the pest centers we'll
see this year,” said Sauers, “He's not
that big, but he’s very agile, He is
similar to Carmelo Verdejo in terms
of physical ability. Our post men are
going to have to outduel theirs.”

Besides trying to deal with the
Potsdam strengths, Albany will also
look for weaknesses to exploit. Ifthe
Bears have a weak link, accordingto
Sauers it is in their depth, or actually
lack of depth. Sauers said that

Wharton Raises Activity Ceiling

by MJ. Memmott

SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton has approved a raise in the
student activity fee ceiling from its current level of $70 to $80 per year.
According to SUNY Vice Chancellor for Educational Services and
Student Affairs James Smoot, Wharton released a letter yesterday

authorizing the hike,

also wanted to allow each school the

the Student Tax ceiling.

“He was also concerned that some
student governments might design a
budget and set a fee that wouldn't
take the student's opinion into
consideration,” Smoot continued,
“Therefore the letter takes into
account an expectation that @
referendum will be put up to the
students in each school should their
governments elect to raise the fee.”

Smoot said the Chancellor could
not mandate that each SA in the
SUNY system put a referendum
before their student populations, but
that “he (Wharton) was merely
making an advisement.”

“As 1 interpret it, it will be up to
each student government to
determine whether to propose a
referendum,” Smoot said.

Wharton approved the raisein the
ceiling, despite the opposition of
college presidents from throughout
thie SUNY system. SASU President

presidents were dissatisfiec with the

Students at the SUNY college at Plattsburgh are currently
involved in the operation of a campus television station, Known as

the Instructional Television Fixed Service (ITF

, the station is

licensed by the Federal Communications Commission and features
video and audio television programming three hours daily.

Since last April, the students have
been broadcasting a 15 minute news
program each day, as well as the *
other programming on the station.

ITFS transmits its programs to
“Various sites within a 25-30 milearea
surrounding the campus. Any
community cable subscriber within

the ITFS range may view the
programs it offers. Each television in
the Plattsburgh dormitory lounges is
wired to ITFS.

According to Plattsburgh
Directoof Instructionall Resources

an educational public service, He

said ITES is not competing with
commerical or public television and
is not intent on building a large
