September 14, 1979
By Aaron Smith
An on-campus apartment
complex may be fully construct-
ed, ready for 40 SUNYA under-
graduates and graduates to move
into by the fall of 1981.
It all depends on a loan from
the Federal Department of
Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).
According to Dean for
Student Affairs Neil Brown,
SUNYA has applied for a $5
million College Housing
Program loan in an attempt to
ease the student housing short-
age that occurs each fall.
HUD’s offer appeared in the
July 12th Federal Register, con-
cerning “eligible housing and
related dinning facilities to alle-
viate a current severe housing
shortage.” |
Kirchner was relieved of
many of his duties for several
weeks, so that he could devote
full time to preparing a loan pro-
SUNYA tackles housing crunch
posal that will be acceptable to
SUNY Central and would place
SUNYA in a favoring position
for receipt of the loan.
Brown and Kirchner demon-
strated the severity of SUNYA’s
housing situation by document-
ing
the large number of students
_who are “inadequately housed”.
“The definition of ‘inade-
ponse
Housing Office questionnaire
last year. There were questions
like ‘do you think that you are
presently living in an apartment
that is in violation of the City of
Albany housing code?’”
Others considered “inade-
quately housed” include those
living in increased occupancy
rooms on campus, in temporary
facilities (lounges, RA suite-
rooms, or temporarily staying
off-campus with friends), and in

certain Albany neighborhoods.
“By not very objective criteria
we’ve determined some areas of
the city are less desirable than
others,” said Kirchner.
Also included in the group are
students who live in areas which
require them to commute long
distances to reach SUNYA each
day.
“We have students who live in
Hudson. We have students liv-
ing in Glens Falls,” said
Kirchner. “We have students
who live in Schenectady and
that’s far, even though it’s only
ten minutes away. With the
energy situation and the gas
crunch, we’ve determined that
25 miles is a reasonable limit.”
Brown and Kirchner deter-
mined that nearly 2,000 SUNYA
students are inadequately
housed, and that 1,300 of these
would apply for new housing if
it were available on campus.
They then requested HUD deal
with one-third of these, arriving
1996
at the 440 occupancy figure.
There will be considerable
competition for the loans, as
HUD is making available a total
of only $95 million. Brown said
he knows of two other SUNYA
‘schools, SUNY Binghamton and
“SUNY Purchase, which have
applied for the loans.
“There has been considerable
negotiations as to what sort of
Dean for Student Affairs Neil Brown
housing deficit we could demon-
strate, an absolutely provable
deficit,” said Kirchner.
The most important question
by HUD concerns whether
SUNYA will need increased stu-
dent housing facilities in the
future.
By 1981, Kirchner expects to
house 55% of SUNYA’s full-
time enrollment.

Frosh kick off first year with a bash
Pachanga
By Howie GREENFIELD
Managing Editor
After their first night of partying,
the freshman class awoke to the
sounds of music. This past sunday
on Indian Quad, the student associ-
_ation sponsored Frosh Mosh for the
class of 2000.
“The weather was beautiful and
all who came out had a great time”,
said Jason Kass, the SA controller.
With the combination of Food and
live bands such as Fat Mooken,
Pachanga, and Who Cares from
Long Island, the turn out of was
phenomenal. DJ El Incognito was
Staff photo by Dan Schlosser
also doing his thing throughout the
day.
Frosh Mosh featured more than
bands, as the freshmen class was
out playing football, and also
throwing the disc around.
“The goal of Frosh Mosh was to
get the Freshman out and mingling,
and here they are,” said Steve
Rubin, assistant to the vice presi-
dent. The Edge, 103.9 was also in
attendance with a rock the vote
table in the quad, which had an
excellent turn out. Once the food
disappeared, so did the freshmen.
SUNY library in the works
Construction began over the
summer for SUNYA’s new elec-
tronic library. The $22 million
facility, to be located behind the
Campus Center will feature com-
puter laboratory facilities, electron-
ic classrooms, a 260,000 volume
science library, seating for over
500, and the ME. Grenader
Department of Special collections
and archives.
The library will also hold a “gate-
way laboratory,” where information
professional can work with faculty
and students to experiment with
what the university is calling “new
information resources.”
A special ground-breaking cere-
mony was held on June 10th for the
new library, the third SUNYA
library.
SUNYA President’ Karen
Hitchcock described the library as
an “ever-evolving research and
development site.”
The anticipated opening will be
in 1999.
Tuition hikes frozen for this year’
Tuition for undergraduate
students at SUNYA did not go
up this year, students learned as
they received their tuition bills
last month,
Tuition for full-time under-
| graduate students at SUNYA,
as well as other SUNY schools,
will be $3400 for this academic
year.
This is expected to cause a
sigh of relief for some students,
as undergraduate tuition was
raised $750 a year for last year.
Despite the efforts by SUNY
schools such as SUNYA to set
their own tuition rates, at least
for this year tuition at most
SUNY campuses has remained
uniform. However, according
to the Associated Press, several
of SUNY’s agricultural institu-
tions have reportedly received
tuition cuts, due to their more
limited range of programs and
offerings.
The AP also reported, just
prior to the announcement of
tuition rates in July, SUNY
officials had been contemplat-
ing raising tuition by $250.
Although SUNYA does not
set its own tuition rates, it does
set the rates for other charges,
such as room and board.
Effective this semester, all
students must pay $180 for a
“Comprehensive Service fee”.
This fee replaces the separate
fees students have had to pay
for health, transportation, and
improved technology. The cost
of the fee is $20 per credit per
semester, up to a maximum of
$250 (the equivalent of 12.5
credits).
The AP reported that SUNY
tuition has raised by 58 percent
since 1992.
U
New changes affects newspaper
Effective this issue, the
Albany Student Press is making
some important changes.
The ASP will only be coming
out on Fridays each week, dis-
continuing the Tuesday issue
that was put out weekly last
semester.
Along the lines of the ASP’s
goal of becoming more graphi-
cally oriented, the front page
will now consist of a single pic-
ture and headline. Editor in
Chief Natalia Armoza likened
the new format to that of
Newsday.
The ASP had been running
twice weekly for about twenty
‘years, until the fall of 1993.
With the exception of the
past two semesters, it has come
out on Fridays every week ever
since. |
Construction continues on science center
By KEVIN DEVALK
News Editor
Construction continued over
the summer for the Center for
Environmental Sciences and
Technology (CESTM), SUNYA
new science research center.
CESTM, located on Fuller

SUNYA President Karen
Hitchcock said the center,
which will open next year, will
help the local economy. She
said the construction has
already brought in 150 jobs,
and research and National
weather service activities could
add 129 jobs.
According to Joel
Blumenthal, associate Vice
President of University
Relations, a “topping-off” cere-
mony was held at the site to

of its first stage of production.

away from the traditions and cul-
tures that are most comfortable

uncommon to experience home-
sickness if students leave fami-
lies in which a member is ill, is
experiencing financial or person- >
al difficulties, or does not agree
with a student’s decision to pur-
sue a college career.
CONCERNS ABOUT FIT-
TING IN. For many students,
especially those coming from
smaller schools, it was easy to
join groups of peers and “‘fit in’.
In a larger university, this task is
made more challenging by the
number of options for students to
choose and the number and vari-
ety of students who are also
seeking solid peer groups.
Unfortunately, with the need to
fit in often come temptations to
drink when one is underage, to
use illegal drugs, and to engage ©
in unprotected sex. Each of these
pressures places students at risk
in terms of health, safety, and
life. Though people may say that
_ there is always an option of say-
this may be a frighten-
ing * 310:
ing choice for some people to
make in the face of peer pres-
sure.
WHAT TO DO. The most
important thing to remember for
any student facing the new chal-
lenges of college is that you are
not alone. There are people to
assist you in the residence halls,
in advisement offices, and among
our student leaders. There are
also places that you can go, such
as the University Counseling
Center and the Middle Earth
Peer Assistance Program, to dis-
cuss your concerns. The Univer-
sity Counseling Center offers
services to all registered students
free of charge. Services are con-
fidential. The University Coun-
seling Center is staffed by pro-
fessional psychologists and doc-
toral students in clinical and
counseling psychology pro-
grams. The counseling Center is
open from 8:30am-5:00pm Mon-
day-Friday. Come to Room 230
of the Health and Counseling
Services Building or call 442-
5800 to make an appointment.
The Middle Earth Peer Assis-
tance Program is an agency in
which students help other stu-
dents meet their personal and
educational goals. Our crisis hot-
line (442-5777) is open Monday-
Thursday from noon to midnight

urday beginning on Wednesday,
September 6, 1995. We also pro-

The cult of no personality
lere are many warnings given to students as they pre-
. to begin their Freshman year in college. Don’t walk
-e€ at night, don’t get in a car with a drunk driver, drop
be »wacertain GPA and you’re out, don’t have unprotected
sea. But despite these many warnings, there is a cult
spreading at this university, and that disease is involvement
in the Student Association.
There is no doubt that students involved in this pathetic
exct’ for an extra-curricular activity are brain washed into
becc ig rah-rah school spirit knuckle heads who can’t
sleep at night because of inter-office politics. Carrying a
beeper and having ~ ulcer is a sign of power and accom-
plishmert, and forze*ting that college is about being happy
ind yg is a major symptom of SA membership.

the SA at their orientation, and at the time they may have
seemed important. In reality, the only importance they have
is the importance they give themselves. Soon, freshman
will learn that, except for concerts, SA events ‘are always a
flop and SA directors are nothing more than pompous
windbags who like to hear themselves speak.
The best warning any freshman can receive is to stay
away from the SA. An office in the Campus Center may
seem like something big, but considering that Taco Bell has
one, it really means nothing. Students should take SA drib-
ble for what it is, meaningless talk based solely around the
SA leaders’ own pathetic sense of self-importance.

politics, it has no importance on anybody’s life. Use your

was the development of chil-
dren’s liver and kidney’s after
exposure to large doses of radia-
tion. The journalist had spoken
to one of the doctors who partici-
pated in this program, and his
response was, “ Well I had just

are still spent on research like
this. A prime example of what
people would do for money. I
leave you with a thought, politi-

themselves. Remeber a congress-

a group of SUNYA students.
Over 30 students gathered to hear

Lee Wasserman speak and get
involved in the grassroots cam-
paign to elect him to Congress.
The event was organized by Stu-
dents for Lee Wasserman, a new
student group which has been
organizing for Wasserman’s elec-
tion. Lee Wasserman spoke about
the importance of investing in
higher education and the value of
voting and civic participation. “
Through higher education comes
the opportunity for personal
growth and community empower-
_ment. SUNY Albany should be
proud of it’s role in achieving that
mission and if elected I will be a
strong advocate for providing
access to quality higher educa-
tion,” Wasserman said.
Wasserman also criticized
McNulty’s voting record, and
asserted that by voting against
higher education, against tax
relief for families with children in
- college, and against the Ameri-
Corps program McNulty abonded
Democratic values. “My oppo-
nent’s votes against students, their
families, and the college commu-
nity; (he) represent the wrong
direction for this country, this
community, and this campus.”
Wasserman also emphasized that
key campaign issues in this race
include funding for higher educa-
tion, environmental legislation,
and the right to reproductive
healthcare.

New look Cowboys catch break in schedule
By CHRISTOPHER MCMAHON
q Associate Sports Editor
Last January the Dallas Cowboys won their third
Superbowl in four years. They were led by Emmitt
Smith, Michael Irvin, and Troy Aikman in their vic-
tory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, this will
not be the same team facing the Giants come Sun-
day.
With Michael Irvin’s problem already public
knowledge, and Emmitt Smith’s injury last Mon-
day, only Troy Aikman will remain from the potent
offense of a year ago. Also with the loss of Jay
Novacek, their All-Pro tight end, the Cowboys are
left scrambling for offensive players.
Last Monday Deion Sanders played over 100
plays on offense and defense combined. Although
his efforts were heroic, one man cannot be expected
to keep this up week in and week out. The average

player usually only runs about half that number of
plays in a particular game.
Kevin Williams is the other receiver trying to fill
the void left by Irvin’s five game suspension, and a
virtual no-name played quality minutes at tight end
for the self-proclaimed America’s team.
Even the ever consistent Darryl “Moose” John-
ston was ineffective against
Chicago without a threat of a
passing attack.
Not only was Dallas plagued
by injuries, but by penalties also.
Erik Williams, considered to be
the best offensive lineman in the
game, committed several penal-
ties that hurt the ’Boys.

Albany makes big changes to improve on 3-7 mark
By J. MICHAEL PRESCOTT
The 1996 University at Albany
Football team begins its second
season as a National Collegiate
Athletic Association Division II
program on Saturday, September
7, against Central Connecticut.
There are six returning starters
on offense and defense, and 29
letterwinners on the roster. The
Great Danes were plagued by
inconsistent play and an offense
which averaged 3.6 turnovers
per game in 1995, and the result
was a 3-7 overall record.
““We’ve made a major change
in offensive philosophy and
staff,” says Bob Ford, who
begins his 24th season as head
coach. “We must become more
consistent on offense, and get
better in the kicking game. On
defense, we need to continue to
work on not giving up the big
run or the big pass.”
The Albany Offense has modi-
fied its attack from a freeze
option scheme to a multiple for-
mation . Junior Joe Savino and
sophomore Eric Williams give
the Great Danes a solid one-two
Joe Savino begins his third year at the helm of the Great Danes offense.
combination at quarterback.
With three returning receivers,
Bob Thorne who also plays tight
end, Dan Gmelin, a junior split
end, and Seth Thomas, Albany
quarterbacks will not be short of
targets in their passing attack.
On the running side with last
years leading rushers gone,
Frank Coluccio returns with an
average of 4.5 yards per carry for
a total of 306 yards last season.
Sophomore Mike Browne starts
at full back while freshman Greg
Garret and sophomore transfer
Robert Anderson will compete
- for playing time at tail back.
The Great Danes switched to a
4—3-—4 alignment last fall, and
the moves paid dividends with a
more aggressive unit. Anthony
Vitti, a preseason all American
selection, made the move to
roverback and led Albany with
72 tackles including nine for a
loss..While senior free safety
Ted Bearor made a school high
four interceptions to go with his
64 tackles. Damin Waring daz-
zled in his first year at corner-
back getting credit for 44 tack-
les, breaking up nine passes and
making one interception. Shawn
West and Harold Valestin are
expected to be more prominent
in the secondary this year. The
linebacking corps remains in
tact. Senior Steve Flood became

recording 60 tackles and two
sacks. John Moskoy, a 6’0”, 235
pound senior, had a combined 88
tackles over last year. Since all
four starters on the defensive
line are gone, the coaching staff.
is working hard at shaping a
brand new line.
Special teams figure promi-
nently in Coach Ford’s restruc-
turing of the team this year. For
starters he has two experienced
place kickers Sean King and
Deron Regev to rely on. Regev
converted 14 of 15 extra point
attempts and kicked two field
goals. King who is also the top
candidate at punter, made nine of
ten PAT’s and two field goals.
While the Great Danes make
the transition to a more aggres-
sive game, and begin their quest
for a winning season at Division
II athletics level, student support
iS critical in not only boosting
the players morale but also for a
stronger school spirit and a
‘greater pride in our University.
The Great Danes kick-off time is
at 6:00 PM on Saturday, fol-
lowed by fireworks provided by
the Student Association.
Great Danes open season with two shutout victories

By THomMAs MCMAHON

The University at Albany men’s soccer
team traveled to Cortland last Saturday to
take on Cortland State. It was the season
opener for each team, and a very impor-
tant contest for the Great Danes as Cort-
land is known for their athletic teams.
Albany came out firing and scored just
35 seconds into the game. Junior forward
Kevin Koscielniak took a pass from Gene
Dove after a thrown in and gave the Great
Danes an early 1-0 lead.
Sophomore Mike Cooper made that
lead stand in the Albany net as he record-
. ed four saves and a shutout in only his
second career start. Koscielniak’s fifth
career goal proved to be the only tally in
the game as the Great Danes began their
second season in Division II with a 1-0
victory: Cortland State goalkeeper Terry
Moss made three saves, but that wasn’t
enough as the Red Dragons fell to 0-1.
Albany returned to the field on Wednes-
day afternoon against Mercy, a non—con-
ference opponent.
After a scoreless first half, it became
the Tom Mason show. The sophomore
forward scored two goals just six minutes
apart to make the Great Danes home
opener a successful one. Mason broke the
scoreless deadlock at 68:48 when Joe
Augienello sent a short pass across the
middle, and he was able to find the right
side of the net. Mason’s second goal was
Overtime
into an open net off a headed ball from
defender Russell Di Benedetto. _
Again Cooper was able to make the
lead last as he and Dean deFreltas com-
bined on the Great Danes second consec-
utive shutout. Mason totaled just one goal
and one assist as a freshman, but was the
key factor for Albany as they move to 2-0
on the season.
The Great Danes are coming off a
7-7-3 campaign in their first Division II
season in 1995. Although this was quite
an accomplishment, this expects better
this season and is off to the start they
wanted.
Albany will look to captains Jomo For-
rester and Gene Dove for leadership as
they try and improve on last seasons
accomplishments. A key for the Great
Danes will be goaltending, which has
passed with flying colors thus far. Mike
Cooper will have to be strong all season
long, and he will get support from Dean
deFreltas.
Albany is also playing without Chris
Mogavero for the first time in four years.
Mogavero led the Great Danes in-scoring
the past two seasons and was signed by
Albany’s professional soccer team after
he graduated last May. It won’t be easy
replacing that many points, but if every-
one raise their level of play Albany
should be able to 3 dikes oer for their
losses.

In 1994 the Great Danes made a playoff
appearance, but that was in Division III.
Using last season as a learning experi-
ence, this Albany team has their sights set
on another playoff run. This time in Divi-
sion II.
