‘JIM LUKASZEWSKI UPS
Governor Mario Cuomo

By T.E. Kane
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

At the eleventh hour on Tuesday, Gov. Mario Cuomo
vetoed the proposed tuition increase of $200, leaving a
$28.2 million budget gap for the SUNY system.

Cuomo reasoned in his veto message that the language
of the appropriations bill sought to spend money without
stating where the money would come from, and that the
bill did not authorize a tuition increase.

The SUNY Board of Trustees, according to Cuomo’s
message, assumed that the language of the legislation
constituted an approval of a tuition hike by lawmakers.

Student coalition is not satisfied
— See Page Five.

“To put mildly, the language and the SUNY responses
are confusing,’’ Cuomo said.

The veto message also pointed out that many Assembly
members including the chairman of the Higher Education
Committee, did not want an increase, and that many of
his colleagues had expressed to the governor in recent
days before his decision that they did not want a tuition
hike.

Cuomo stated that a tuition increase, and any

“substantial program cuts,” contradict his longstanding
stance against such.

“J will not allow a tuition increase to occur without the
clearest showing of absolute necessity, and exhaustion of
all other possibilities,” Cuomo said.

With the veto now signed, the deliberations on the
SUNY budget goes back fo Assembly which could over-
ride the veto by a two-thirds majority vote, or 100 votes.
Cuomo will also present an alternative budget plan to
both chambers of the legislature.

“Tt is the opinion of the Democratic conference that we
will not attempt an override,’’ said Speaker of the
Assembly Mel Miller (D-Bronx) Wednesday. He ruled it
out at this time, but did not eliminate it as an option in
the future.

“The ball is now in the governor’s court,”’ Miller said,
to come up with a new dialogue and process for the
budget.

Miller said that the bill was straight-forward and did
mean a tuition increase for the SUNY system.

SUNY chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone clearly showed
that without a tuition increase there would be a major
retrenchment, according to Miller.

“The legislature did it up front to use its ability to in-
crease tuition,” Miller said.

“I don’t know what the Governor means by the show-
ing of absolute necessity,’’ Miller said, “the members

O’Leary: 47 positions may be cut

that we got said there was necessity.”’

Since the Governor opposes the budget there is a “‘ma-
jor hole” in the SUNY budget of $28.2 million that needs
to be filled.

“T don’t know how we are going to fill it,’”’ Miller said.
The Assembly will wait for the actions of the governor to
determine which of the several ‘‘options’’ they will use.

Johnstone said Wednesday that Cuomo’s veto of the
budget, more than a month after it was due, presents a
“serious and immediate crisis,’’ to the SUNY system.

“The consequences to future and present students of
the state system are grave,’ Johnstone said of the veto.

Johnstone said that he asked campuses of the state
university Wednesday to begin to take steps to cut and
save.

“The governor’s new budget proposal is expected to be
sent back to the Assembly sometime by Tuesday or
Wednesday, according to SUNY Central Administration
spokesman Harry Charlton.

Cuomo has claimed that SUNY could ‘‘save’’? money
by trimming the fat throughout the budget process, and
mentioned it again in his veto memo.

“My Budget Director has pointed to millions of dollars
he believes can be saved,’ Cuomo said. ‘‘Until now,
those savings apparently have been rejected by SUNY of!
ficials who at the same time request more tax payers’

As it stands, SUNY is facing a
28.2 million budget cut as both Gov.
Mario Cuomo and the Legislature
begin round three in their quest to
reach a compromise on the univer-
sity’s budget.

SUNY Central has handed down
to the separate universities across the
state their share of the shortage.
Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone has
sent a message to SUNYA president
Vincent O’Leary that he must cut
$2,352,000 from the budget im-
mediately to compensate for the
State’s shortage.

This means cutting approximately
47 faculty, staff and administrative
positions from the University, accor-
ding to O’Leary.

Although some relief may come
from other sources like the Graduate

Research Initiative, a state-wide pro-
gram that was allocated $5 million
more this proposed budget, O’Leary
and state officials cannot speculate
on any extra funds.

The budget process on this cam-
pus is a thorough one, according to
O’Leary. He charges a budget panel
consisting of 18 members, three of
which are students, to study every
aspect of this campus. The budget
panel then sends its recommenda-
tions to the resource allocation com-
mittee, which then recommends to
the Educational Policy Council of
the SUNYA University Senate. The
Senate then makes its final recom-
mendations to O’Leary who assesses
the proposal along with chosen
members of his staff.

“We try to make judgements
about where human resources are
best placed,” said budget panel

chairman Dr. Eugene Graber, from
the English department.

Although O’Leary has a proposal
on his desk after the budget panel
completed speculative planning, it is
not known yet where actual cuts will
take place.

“Programs are very important on
this campus, we’ll try to protect
them all,’’ O’Leary said about the
possibility of making cuts in other
areas than staffing, he added that
cuts would be made where it hurts
the least.

““We are ranked as-one of the top
research universities in the country,”
O’Leary said. ‘‘I would kid you if I
say this didn’t hurt.’’

He said SUNYA has been in this
budget situation before, in 1983.

Despite the current shortage that
the SUNY system is facing, there are

Police show force

Masan, South Korea
(AP) Thousands of baton-wielding
police blocked an anti-government ral-
ly Thursday after authorities, stung by
the deaths of six riot police, warned
they would take emergency measures
to halt violent protests.

About 8,000 riot police blanketed
the downtown area in a major show of
strength to block a rally called by strik-
ing workers and dissidents to denounce
the government of President Roh Tae-
woo.

Dissident leaders had claimed that
up to 50,000 workers and students
would take part in a major rally in this
industrial port city that is 120 miles
southeast of Seoul.

Many of the riot troopers wore black
mourning ribbons for their comrades
who were killed early Wednesday in the
nearby city of Pusan during a raid ona
college to rescue five police officers be-
ing held hostage by radical students.

Police said today that they would
charge five student leaders with murder
and arson, charges which could be
punishable by death. Police said lesser
charges would be filed against 40 other
students.

Deaths draw fire

Moscow, Russia

(AP)Thirteen infants died in a two-
week period in an Armenian hospital
where cockroaches scuttled around the
cabinets and doctors set mousetraps
under the operating table, a newspaper
revealed.

In a blistering attack that accused of-
ficials of indeference, incompetence
and a coverup, the Armenian
newspaper Kommunist said 25 children
born at the Krupskaya Scientific-
Research Intitute in the capital of
Yerevan had died this year, including
13 alone in the first two weeks of
March.

In another Yerevan maternity
hopital, three children died because
they were given overdoses of medicine,
according to the April 29 edition of the
newspaper that reached Moscow on
Wednesday.

A government commission establish-
ed that many of the infants died of in-
fections caused by unsanitary condi-
tion ‘‘on the operating table, in the
birth area, in areas for premature
babies, on nipples, oxygen masks,
breathing tubes, and even on medical
lamps.”

Chopper crashes

high-tension power line and crashed in
southern France, killing five Marines,
officials said Wednesday.

The UH-! Huey, from the am-
phibious assault ship Guadalcanal cur-
rently in port in Toulon, exploded
when it hit a hillside at about 9:45 p.m.
Wednesday near Rougon, a village 500

miles southeast’of Paris.

A local resident saw the explosion
and called firefighters.

Local police said all five men aboard
were killed.

In Washington, the Marine Corps
said the Huey was one of two conduc-
ting a navigation training exercise and
that the lead helicopter crashed. The

Death penalty hinges on one,
vote; Assembly decidesin June

By T.E. Kane
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

New York state is closer than ever to reinstating
the death penalty with the Assembly one vote shy of
overriding Gov. Mario Cuomo’s veto of the
legislature’s earlier passing of the bill.

The state’s death penalty bill aims to execute per-
sons who are convicted of Ist degree or second
degree murder, killing a police officer, correction
officer or employee, murdering a person while in
the act of robbery or a burglary, and an act of ter-
rorism or a mass murder.

With the pending June vote on the override, the
debate is heating up among pro-death penalty ad-
vocates and no death penalty supporters across the
state in and out of the Legislature’s corridors.

SUNYA is no exception to the swelling tides of
sentiments for or against the death penalty. The
argument was brought to campus last week when
Professor James D. Acker of the SUNYA Criminal
Justice department met with a crowded lecture
room filled with students.

Currently the latest poll does indicate that a ma-
jority of the state citizens are in favor, according to
Rory Whalen, SUNYA College Republican
president.

Acker said that there are two kinds of death
penalties; one in principle and another in practice.

“The death penalty in theory says that if we ex-
ecute murderers of horrible crimes the street will be
safer,” Acker said.

“The other is discriminatory along ethinic and
socio-economic lines,’ Acker said, ‘‘and the occa-
sional mentally retarded or innocent.”

There are two main resons for the death penalty,
according to Acker. They are deterence and
retribution.

“The state is going to kill, to scare us from kill-
ing,’”’ Acker said. ‘I don’t need the death penalty
not to kill.””

Assemblyman Vincent Graber (R-Buffalo), a
13-year supporter of the death penalty said the
statistics for murder have increased since the death
penalty was repealed in 1963.

“] can’t prove that it deters but we’ve rose to be
the second in the nation for murders,’’ Graber said.

“Yes, the murder rate has gone up in the states,”
Acker said, “‘but it has gone up all over the
country.””

Acker added that states who have the death

penalty, such as Texas and Florida, have had their
murder rates increase as well. As for retribution,
“retribution is a nice idea. . . (but) an eye for and
eye is too simplistic for complex social problems.”

The victims of such heinous crimes cannot be
brought to life again, and the families of victims
have no retribution for the loss of life in their fami-
ly, Graber said.

“It’s just not right to have the perpetrators of
such crimes out on parole in 25 years,’’ Graber said.
“The loss of life for victims doesn’t return ever
again.”

Whelan said that 60 percent of the prisoners who
are convicted for murder are released and murder
again.

“‘That’s not justice,’’ Whelan said.

Acker said he advocates life in prison without
parole. Cuomo also has proposed life in prison
without parole.

Acker refutes the figure that 60 percent of
murderers released on parole murder again.
“Murderers have been proven to have better in-
stitutional records,’’ he said.

“‘Life without parole is open season for correc-
tional officers,’’ Whelan said. ‘‘(Murderers) do not
adhere to discipline.”

“Ridiculous,”” Graber said about the governor’s
proposed plan of life without parole. ‘‘Not only are
corectional officers at risk, the cost would be
astronomical.”

The cost of the death penalty for the state would
be more than $800,000 per execution and as muchas
$1.8 million if the covicted murderer uses his full
appeal process, according to Kathleen Bove,
SUNYA president for Amnesty International.

A convicted murderer with the death penalty has
at the most eleven appeals and most average six,
Bove said.

The state does not have the right to take a life,
because it sets a bad example for society and would
add to the number of heinous crimes, Acker said.

“The state reserves the right to do certain things,
like taxes,’’ Whalen said. ‘“What about a cop who
kills someone in self-defense?”

Graber echoed Whalen’s sentiments. ‘‘I guess we
should take away the guns on policemen,” he said.

The issue of self-defense is not the same issue,
because the law accomodates the right to self-
defense, according to Acker. Oo

The average salary for a full
professor at SUNYA is the 31st
highest in the nation, and is
$7,200 higher than the national
average, according to a recent
study.

The study ranked 1,600 public
and private colleges and univer-
sities ranging from doctoral in-
stitutions to two year schools. It
said that SUNYA professors
earn an average of $63,600 per
year.

The national median salary
for a professor is $56,400, ac-
cording to the survey by Maryse
Elymonerie Associates of Hilton
Head, S.C., which was publish-
ed in the May 3 edition of the
Chronicle of Higher
Education.

The highest average salary
reported was $79,300 at Har-
vard University.

Of the four SUNY university
centers, Buffalo had the highest
slary, $66,000. The average for
Stony Brook was $65,500, and
professors at Binghamton harn
$61,600, the survey said.

Among the 12 SUNY colleges
listed, the median salary for
professors was $53,500.

SUNYA President Vincent
O’Leary said Monday that high
salaries reflect the quality of the
teaching at the University — in
effect, that the school gets what
it pays for.

“A lot of people don’t
understand how good this place
is,” O’Leary said. ‘‘We are a
major national university.”” He
pointed out that SUNYA has
recently been rated one of the
top 100 schools in the country.

And despite the fact that ‘‘by
and large, the SUNY system
does relatively well on salaries,”’
he said, the University still loses
professors to more prestigious -
and lucrative - positions at
schools, like Princeton Universi-
ty, which the survery said pays
professors an average of
$71,400.

SUNYA’s professors
among best paid

O'Leary also pointed out that
other factors come into play
when comparing salaries, such
as cost of living. that observa-
tion was echoed by professor
William Hammond of the
department of mathematics.

“Salary comparisons are
tricky,”? Hammond said. ‘‘You
have to look at a number of
other factors.’’ For example, he
said, some institutions offer
facutly mortgages at low interest
rates.

Linda Rosenblatt of United
University Professions, a union
which represents many faculty
and professional positions at
SUNYA, said that the Unviersi-
ty will have to pay to get high
quality insruction.

“I think that in order to at-
tract people and prevent what
we call the ‘brain drain’ syn-
drome, they’re going to have to
go one better,”’ Rosenblatt said.

The salary range for full pro-
fessors is $30,600 to $77.000,
and accociate professors earn
between $24,100 and $58,000,
Rosenblatt said. She added that
some lecturers and instructors
make less money that elemen-
tary and secondary school
education teachers.

“J would not say that we are
by any means rich,’’ she said.

Among other major state
university systems in the country
listed in the survey were Califor-
nia State University, where the
average pay for a full professor
at its 19 campuses was $53,200;

the University of North
Carolina, where professors’
salaries at 15 schools averaged
$47,120; and the State Universi-
ty of Florida, where the figure
was $48,000 at nine campuses.

Six institutions pay there full |
professors an average salary of
more than $70,000, the survey
said. They include California

ty, Harvard, the Massachusetts

Last night students rocked the Campus Center during the Albany
State University University Black Alliance's Springfest.

WCDB spun records for a crowd of about 700, other entertainers
performed as well.

On Saturday, May 6, students will once again participate in the an-
nual spring Mayfest on the field located between Indian and Dutch
Quads.

Headlining the entertainment will be Cheap Trick. Also appearing
will be the two bands, NRBQ and the Cool Running Reggae Band.

According to Nancy Graham of Campus Life, it has been estimated
that 8,000 to 10,000 people will attend.

For $8 a ticket, currently on sale in the Campus Center, the student
receives food and beverage of their choice. An additional $4 is re-
quired for the beer gardens, where students can drink alcoholic
beverages if they are of age.

To prevent undreage and excessive drinking, several safeguards
have been adopted. ‘‘A student must present two forms of ID stating
their age,”” Graham said. A driver’s license, birth certificate, passport
or Sheriff’s ID are all exceptable forms od identification. ‘Also a stu-
dent in the beer garden will only be able to take one (1) beer at a
time,’’ she went on to say. =

Anyone who is intoxicated beforehand will not be allowed to at-
tend the event, Graham said.

Additional buses will be pressed into service to bring off-campus
students to and from the event.

Graham said all this will be done to foster the health and safety of
the students. Sthe said that it is ‘nothing short of miraculous” that
the State Liquor Authority granted the license and organizers want
nothing to go wrong.

“Mayfest is a chance to wind up the school year and also to
possibly foster some new relationships,” Graham said. she had
endless praise for Andrew Korns and Robert Levin, chairman and
vice-chairman of University Concert Board.

“They deserve applause ten-fold,” she said. she also said the Plant
deprtment, the Student Association, University Concert Board, Cam-
pus Life and other groups have contributed to the success of the
event. = 5

Val Fahey’s goal: ‘we’re here’

By Melissa Bower

Val Fahey says that there are
talented people at Middle Earth
who have the skills and the
resources to help students at
SUNYA. She says the people she
has worked with, past and pre-
sent, have an “‘inner glow’ that
hasn’t changed throughout the
years she has been here.

Perhaps that inner glow comes
from working with Fahey, who
has given much to this University
through the Middle Earth
program.

Fahey is the coordinator of
Resource Development Program-
ming at SUNYA. She works with
both students and faculty ad-
dressing needs in the areas of
health, mental
and physical.
Her primary
job is working
with Middle
Earth, the

Friday
Profile

counselling service here at the
university.

Middle Earth is made up of
mostly graduate and
undergraduate students who have
an interest in helping other
people.

Fahey notes that one of the
reasons that Middle Earth is suc-
cessful is because students work
together. “‘There is a lot of energy
and creativity [at this university],
and that’s exciting to work with.
There are a lot of people with the
skills to help others.’”

Fahey works with both student
volunteers and faculty. She is
closely affiliated with the Student
Association, Middle Earth’s
primary source of funding, and
the University Senate, where she
sits on the Student Affairs Com-
mittee. Her recent work on a
faculty advisory board dealt with
informing people about eating
disorders.

All this interaction with
students gives Fahey insight into
the problems they can encounter.
She said there aremany problems

students have aside from their
studies. Personal relationships,
friendships and sexual relation-
ships all factor into student stress.
One of Fahey’s objectives is to
make students aware that there
are ways to combat this stress,
and resources to help them.
“There are a lot of good ser-
vices on this campus, and there
are a lot of good people who are
available [to help],”’ she said.
Fahey said the most important
thing people should know about
Middle Earth is that ‘‘We’re here.
Some people do not understand
what we are here for. People
underestimate their problems.”
She stresses that if people are
stuck in a troubling situation,
Middle Earth is ‘‘there to listen.”
“Sometimes people say, ‘there
is no one listerfing to me.’ We try
to focus on the individual, when
perhaps no one has done that
before,”’ she said.
Communication seems to be

Pi Lamda Phi donates toys

The brothers and pledges of Pi Lambda Phi donated $200 worth
of toys to the children of St. Catherine’s Center for Children in
Albany, according to that fraternity’s community service chair, An-
thony Angelo.

The Greeks raised the money through pizza sales on State and
Colonial Quads, Angelo said, adding that residents of the quads
were generous with their business because they were sympathetic to
the cause.

Angelo said the knock-hockey, Pictionary Junior, Sorry, Nerf
Ping Pong and Basketball and other games, toys and books went
over in a big way. More work with St. Catherine’s is planned for the
future, he said.

“Tt worked really well. . . it was a group thing, we had the
brothers and the pledges working together,’’ he said. Oo

‘Arms’ struggle: US/USSR

SUNYA’s Socrates Fronhofer, a professional armwrestler and

Fronhofer will be traveling to Russia as one of 36 people selected

enough sponsors.

This is the first competition with Soviets ever and attention to the
competition is hoped to help it to become and official sport of the
Olympics. The games will be held August 4 to 11.

“T’ve been training really hard, and I hope I can do well,”
Fronhofer said.

Lawson elected Council chair

Student Association’s Central Council held its elelctions for chair

Nadya Lawson and Mitch Posner, both off-campus represen-
tatives, ran for the position of chair. Lawson won on the third
ballot, after neither candidate received the %4 necessary on the first
two.

In the vice-chair elections, off-campus representatives Nicole
Michaelson and Paul Faulhaber ran. On the fourth ballot,
Michaelson dropped out, making Faulhaber vice-chair.

Lawson and Faulhaber assume office immediately. Oo

Seniors prepare to party (~~

in week long celebration

By Karl H. Reichelt
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Senior Week, packed with 16 different
events all designed to bring the senior class
together for one last blast around campus
and beyond, kicks off next week.

Beginning May 11 and carrying through
the coveted graduation day, Senior Week
events will range frm a pleasant canoeing
expedition to the five booze-laden
‘fishing’? excursions around Lake
George.

The festivities kick off with six trips in
the first three days including visits to the
Baseball Hall of Fame, Saratoga Winners,
Riverside Amusement Park, the Budweiser
Brewery, and the ever popular overnighter
to Montreal.

Cruisin’ and boozin’ on the good ship
Defiance will take up the mid-week ac-
tivities as the seniors hit Lake George for
an unprecedented five scheduled hoist-
offs. Tanning lotion and saddle bags will
be in order for a fun-filled, two hour tour

great outdoors. A trip to Boston and the
Saratoga race tracks is also tabbed for the
tourists and bettors of the Class of ’89.

Food, dance, and more booze rounds
out the week with the annual Senior Luau,
semi-formal, and night at the bars. Those
who survived the early trips, might finish
themselves off here.

Friday, May 19 brings a flood of ’89ers
to “block”? off Hudson Avenue for an
“awesome”’ afternoon of partying in the
streets. WPYX-106 of Albany will be on
hand and all proceeds from this
neighborhood melee will go to the
American Cancer Society.

Graduation Eve will bring the symbolic
passing of the ‘‘Torch of Knowledge”’ that
the seniors have acquired which involves
family, friends, and the professors
celebrating the last hours of their SUNYA
life. The well respected Professor Philip
Cooper of the Political Science Depart-
ment will speak to the “‘gowned’”’ and
ready senior class.

Don’t be locked in by the night r—— CRACKED

No one would argue that the
SUNY campus is indeed very
large and that can be quite
frightening to some people. I am
not talking about your basic ad-
justment scares which hopefully
we all get over sooner or later, the
type of fright I am speaking of is
night fright. It can be extremely
scary for example to walk from
your quad to the library late at
night. Walking passed all those
stairs and corners can bring about
memories of every horror movie
you’ve ever seen in which the col-
lege co-ed is brutally murdered by
a guy in a sky mask. You can feel
your heart beating with every step
you take and your body starts
sweating profusely. In many ways
this may sound humorous and a
bit like a movie scene itself but a
few things are different in this
picture. The setting is your cam-
pus and the actors and actresses
could be many of you. Walking
alone on campus at night is a real
fear for many SUNY Albany
students.

I was personally confronted
with this fear not long ago. As I
left SUNY to go home one night I

noticed that I was being followed.
The driver followed me all the
way to my home. Fortunately I
had enough control over my fears
that I knew what to do. I con-
tinued to drive around the block
several times until the other driver
decided to Ay

leave. There are Middle
many things

that could have Earth
happened that

night. He or she Roots
could have returned. I could not
have noticed that I was being
followed and led this perosn right
into my home. These are frighten-
ing thoughts but luckily I was in
control of my fear and didn’t let it
get away from me. Had I not
known what to do, it would have
been a terrifying experience.

Tam sure that I was not the first
to have such an experience and I
am sure I will not be the last.
Many students, out of fear of
walking alone on campus, don’t
even leave their rooms to go to the
library or to attend evening events

on campus. Regina Williams, the
outreach coordiantor at Middle
Earth, speaks of an experience
which happened while she was at-
tending Russell Sage College in
Troy. ‘‘Everyone was talking
about the girl who had been at-
tacked on campus a few weeks
after school started. For a month
or two after that girls were afraid
to leave their rooms to go
anywhere. We always tried to
walk in pairs or we just didn’t go.
It was very frightening and it even
made me feel angry. Many of us
felt that it was our right to be able
to walk freely on our campus, to
be able to leave our rooms
whenever we wanted to. All of a
sudden that right was gone.

For a short time that right was
stolen from us and there wasn’t
really much of anything that we
could do about it.’

That right to feel safe in a
familiar environment is a very im-
portant right indeed. We
recognize this right by having
campus security and other such
precautions. However, this is
often times not enough to

“HOW I MADE $18,000

FOR COLLEGE

BY WORKING WEEKENDS.”

~—
Whei my friends and I graduated
from high school, we all took part-time
jobs to pay for college.

They ended up in car washes and
hamburger joints, putting in long hours
for little pay. 3

Not me. My job takes just one
weekend a month and two weeks a year.
Yet, I’m earning $18,000 for college.

Because I joined my local Army
National Guard.

canes and floods. They’re also an__

So, since i'm helping them do such
an important job, they’re helping me
make it through school.

Army

As soon as I finished Advanced
Training, the Guard gave me a cash
bonus of $2,000. I’m also getting
another $5,000 for tuition and books,
thanks to the New GI Bill.

Not to mention my monthly Army
Guard paychecks. They'll add up to
more than $11,000 over the six years
I’m in the Guard.

And if J take out a college loan, the
Guard will help me pay it back—up to
$1,500 a year, plus interest.

It all adds up to $18,000—or more
—for college for just a little of my time.
And that’s a heck of a better deal than
any car wash will give you.

EDITORIA
A New Era...

Twenty five years ago, a new era was born.
The State University News changed its name to
the Albany Student Press—the ASP. Next
semester, the ASP will enter a new era, as we
move toward the future of newspaper
publishing—desktop.

Of course, with the introduction of the new
goes the departure of the old. In our case, the
old is a typesetter we affectionately call
Hoover. Affectionately, meaning we talk to
him, beg mercy at his feet, and rub his sides
when he’s not working right. Hoover is loved,
hated, feared, and respected. And after this
issue, he will be gone.

There have been many changes since the
mame change 25 years ago. The biggest
occurred in 1977 when we went from an SA
funded paper to an independent, self-funded
paper with full editorial freedom. And
although this change pales in comparison to
independence, it means a lot to the scores of
students who make the ASP their home (be it
their first, second, or third).

In a way, the departure of Hoover is
symbolic of the direction of the ASP. This
newspaper is always changing, whether it’s an
editorial shift, new machinery, or a personnel
change. With every change comes the potential
for greatness. It is hard, when a group is as
proud of something as ASPies are of the paper,
to admit that things could actually improve.
Every group thinks that it’s better than the
group before, perhaps the best ever. We do,
and we’re not afraid to boast.

Not many outsiders know about the ASP.
Not many people know that there’s a small
group of us who stay awake twice a week to
produce the paper, and not many people realize
that there is a tremendous support group of
writers, business people, and others who are
part of our family. Not many people realize
that we are simply students with a common
interest and a common goal—the publication
of the ASP. Not many people realize the
sacrifices (school, personal lives, and sanity)
that we make to attain that goal. And nobody
from the outside realizes how close we become
while attaining our goals. But that is the
ASP—the real ASP. It’s fine that nobody
realizes these things, because we don’t do it for
recognition or mongy. We try our best to do
our best, and we gain a lot along the way.
The friendships that we make here will stay
with us long after our graduations. Our walls,
which used to be lined with infamous quotes
but were made barren by a virgin-white paint
job, are starting to reflect the new traditions of
the ASP. Those quotes that were lost will
always remain in our memories, but thanks to
Mitchell Hahn, the future of the ASP will
always remember us. Even a new computer
system can’t erase these traditions.

Aside from Hoover, we are also losing some
fantastic staff to the real world. We will always
remember and love these people, as they will
always remember and love us. It’s almost a
scary though, but the bond that these students
create stays with them long after graduation.
So, despite the fact that our method of
production is changing, the ASP is not, and
never will. It will still be dedicated, hard
working people who prove that even students
can uphold freedom of the press. It will still be
lamateurs who are, in every sense of the word,
professionals. It will still be long production
nights, controversial news and views, long
imeetings and debates, inside jokes, parties, and
tradition. It will still be friends.

Goodbye Hoover. Goodbye Colleen, Kelli,
Greg, and the rest of the graduates. Thank you
for putting in the dedication that gives birth to
the ASP, and carry that dedication into your
futures. Rest assured, the ASP may eventually
get some sleep, but the real ASP will never
change.

History Will
Us Nothing. .

From the day that you enter elementary school,
regardless of your race, religion, or ethnicity, you are
constantly reminded about one of humanity’s greatest
horrors--genocide. Every sixth grader knows that from
1939 to 1945, Hitler’s Nazi regime was responsible for
the extermination of six million Jews and
“‘undesirables.’’ Everyone knows of Kristallnacht, of
Auschwitz, of the gas chambers...but does anyone
remember April 24th, 1915, the date and following
years that gave precedent to the Holocaust?

Raffi Varoujian

From April 24th, 1915, through 1923 — under the
cover of another world war -- in a country called
Turkey, 1.5 million Armenians died at the hands of the
Ottoman Turkish regime. It happened in this century,
on this planet, in a supposedly ‘‘democratic’’ country.
Like Hitler’s Final Solution, there was Talaat Pasha’s
Armenian Question. The aim, under the official guise
of deportation, was the total and complete annihila-
tion of the Armenian race.

To this day, few remember it, and the present
Turkish government still continues to deny that it ever
happened. Even the government of the United States
officially calls it an “alleged” genocide, refusing to
recognize the violation of human rights and decency in
favor of Turkish friendship, and a few strategic
nuclear bases on the doorstep of the Soviet Union. It
does not matter to this government that justice is not
served, it does not matter that 1.5 million people died
in vain, that children were torn from the arms of their
mothers and thrown into rivers to drown, that preg-
nant women had their wombs cut open. Atrocities like
these are ignored and put aside, forgotten convenient-
ly, in order to grease the palms of a nation that has
continuously violated human rights and human decen-

The Turkish government has budgeted several
million dollars for lobby firms in Washington D.C.,
for the express purpose of defeating any legislation

Teach

that might even hint that the U.S. recognizes the events
of 1915-1923. Turkey has been found guilty in an in-
ternational court of crimes against humanity, yet
Turkish children are still not taught of their nation’s
dark past; and, at the same time, Kurdish settlers are
given tracts of land in old Armenian villages in ex-
change for completely erasing any evidence of Arme-
nian inhabitance, culture and architecture.

Because of the genocide, Armenians were scattered
all over the world, with no country, no land to call
their own. They assimilated and married into other
ethnic groups, becoming more American, Brazilian,
French with each passing generation. Armenians are
very resilient people; it has taken a massacre and a re-
cent earthquake to prove that. However, time is taking
its toll. The survivors, now in their 80’s and 90’s, will
soon no longer be able to provide eyewitness
testimony to what was the first genocide of the 20th
century. What is most important is that the people of
the world know what occurred and remember it.

We want to believe that man is too civilized to com-
mit such acts again in this ‘tage of Enlightenment’.
But facts show us otherwise. After the Armenian
genocide came the Jewish Holocaust, and even now, in
the 1980’s, the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia is
responsible for the death of one million
Cambodians...

Many have heard the adage, ignorance is bliss, But
the dangerous folly of ignorance is perhaps best ex-
plained by the conclusion of Adolf Hitler’s speech to
his cabinet concerning the plans to liquidate the Jews
in Europe: ‘‘After all,’ he said, ‘‘who remembers the
Armenians?”

April 24th is a significant, if not dark, date in the
history of the world. Few wanted to face its reality in
1915, and few, other than the Armenians, remember
its significance today. I ask that you remember and
reflect on its implications. Imagine what could have
happened if the Armenian genocide had been
prevented, even punished. The apathy of humanity in
1915 cost the world six million more lives by 1945.
History does repeat itself... It’s up to us, to prevent it.

We Announce Afternoon At
THE BAR Friday, May5th
3 - 6pm

I'm down to my last ten cents and the caffeine in the five Diet Pepsi’s
I've had so far this morning isn’t enough. It’s 4:30 in the a.m. on
Thursday (but it’s really still Wednesday for me). Just a long Wednesday,
I guess you might say. About three hours ago I joked about writing this
column about not knowing what to write my column about. I decided
five minutes ago that I may just have to do that (“writer's block” is real
— it sucks).

The radio station still hasn't played my request — and I need to hear
some inspiring tunes.

“Some records are made to be broken . . . others are made and become
a part of life.” How about others which become a part of a column?

Flipping across the dial, I’m the product of the t.v. generation. Our
attention spans are short (the length of a typical song, they say). We rely
on the remote control to lead us through life. So now writing a column
about not knowing what to write my column about, I’m flipping across
the radio dial (wish I had a remote control) and looking for a song. The
Beach Boys — I remember getting a kick out of listening to their “Surfin’
USA” with my cousin — old Doobie Brother's records too (my dad is
Michael McDonald).

Donny Osmond — he’s staged a comeback. From “Puppy Love” to
“Soldier of Love.” What will happen if Shaun Cassidy follows suit?

Realization sets in : if I continue to change stations, my request will
surely be played and I/ll miss it — it's Murphy’s Law.

But I have this sick urge to listen to Electric 99 WGY-FM (when you
say it, sing it). | may actually miss the jingle this summer when I'm away
from Albany. It’s part of massive brainwashing operation staged by the
programmers at the station, I’m sure.

Edie Brickell — spokeswoman for me this morning. “Being alone is the
best way to be.” Ain’t it the truth. Next: “She drives me crazy.” Too
many songs sung by men, leaving us women with the hassle of changing
the sex around — at least “He drives me crazy” sounds a lot better than
“take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the boys

A rose to bloom in Albany

erb Pedersen is a patient man. “You
H really don’t know too much about

this stuff,” he exasperates when he
finds that my knowlege of the Desert Rose
Band, which will help kick off the Tour de
Trump at the Empire State Plaza, Friday,
May 5; a group he co-founded along with
former Byrd's bass player Chris Hillman, is
less than limited.

Richard Crist

So Pedersen slowly recounts his band’s
formation, and the daunting ac-
complishments of the various members in
the field. If you put together the collective
experience of the five-man band, you have
a veritable who's who of rock and country
music.

Pedersen and Hillman met when both
were 18 and playing in separate California
folk bands. Shortly after apprenticeships in
folk and bluegrass bands, Hillman met
Roger McGuinn and his twelve-string
Rickenbacker and joined the Byrds. After
quitting the Byrds, Hillman, a co-writer of
“So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n Roll Star,”
and a member of the band when they
recorded “Sweetheart of the Rodeo,” a
landmark album in the fusion of country
and rock, joined the Flying Burrito
Brothers with Graham Parsons.

Pedersen, though out of the limelight,
kept busy, backing Linda Ronstadt, John
Rivers and Kenny Rogers on a number of
projects, and eventually joined up with
Hillman backing Dan Fogelberg.

“Basically, Chris and I found we liked
singing together, and he had written some
great material that he was saving for future
projects, so we thought that getting a band

—ear plags

together was the next logical step.”

In the summer of 1985, along with Steve
Duncan on drums, J.D. Maness on steel
guitar, and Billy Bryson on bass, and set
about recording their self-titled debut
album in 1987. Both Duncan and Bryson
have backed country legend Buck Owens,
and Maness is the winner of Steel Guitarist
of the Year at the Country Music Awards
for eleven consecutive years.

But that collective resume isn’t necessary
to hear the fruits of Desert Rose and
Hillman’s songwriting, even though the
band has been slow to receive the help of
mainstream radio despite three number
one country singles. Pedersen places the
band in the “new country” category while
still drawing from traditional sources that
he and Hillman were playing as teenagers.
“There's always a little bit of our pasts in
the music we play,” Pedersen, the rhythm
guitarist and banjo player said. “It’s an ex-
tension of 20 years experience.”

The group is currently recording a third
album, which will follow “Running,”
which produced the hits “Summer Wind”
and “I Still Believe in You,” along with the
recently released cover of John Hiatt’s “She
Don’t Love Nobody.” The group is cur-
rently recording a third album, which will
follow “Running,” which produced the hits
“Summer Wind” and “I Still Believe in
You,” along with the recently released
cover of John Hiatt’s “She Don’t Love
Nobody.”

The best way to check out a band is at
free show, and that’s how the Desert Rose
Band will be featured, Friday, May 5, at
the Empire State Plaza to help open for
Donald's bicycle race, the Tour de Trump.

A lonely hearts Club visit

ing — even seductive — about a

woeful, lonely songwriter who's
got a way with words. It’s something in a
pathetic nature that charms and demands
either consolation or company.

Stef McDonald

Songwriter/lead singer/guitarist of the
American Music Club, Mark Eitzel asks for
both on his band’s latest, California,
fashioning his somber contemplations in
mostly despondent ballads, textured with
touches of pop, folk, and country (pedal
steel guitar salvation you might say).

‘About to jump off a cliff or else let it all
out (the silly raving “Bad Liquor’), Eitzel
leads the Club through his tales and on
California none is as bare and sparse
(musically and lyrically) as “Laughing
Stock.” Eitzel sorrowfully rambles to “just a
couple of strangers in a bar giving me a
chance for me to explain myself away,”
which pretty much sums up his role in the
Club.

The album opens with “Firefly,” a pop
song about fatalism (‘just a flash and then
they're gone”) and romantic loss (“you're
so pretty/ where did you go?’). A self-

a3 here is something captivating, lur-

described “loser,” with a “morbid” nature,
Eitzel pulls everyone in to his songs.
“Somewhere” is everybody's rallying
escape song: “Come on, we got a lot to
lose/ so maybe we can lose it all tonight/
and then when they shoot us down/ we
won't be around.” But it might not be such
a good idea to go out and drown your sor-
rows, as Eitzel knows. “Bad Liquor” is the
only song of the collection that really
shouts.

Loneliness even has its own song here
(‘Lonely” which begins “Well you don’t
want me to touch you/ just want me to
shut up). Yet its sound isn’t as morose as its
content, which is nearly matched by the
despairing “Highway 5” (echoes of
Leonard Cohen here), the terribly morbid,
dark “Jenny,” and the chilling “Last Har-
bor” which ends the record. “Falling, fall-
ing, hey, I don't see the bottom.” Hey,
things can only get better, and besides,
Eitzel’s voite doesn’t really moan. His
vocals are more like sighs of desperation.
And rather than drown his lead in tones of
blackness, layered in drones, the songs
tread on bare acoustic compositions. It's
Teason even more to want to embrace the
poor guy, or at least spin the record some
more. oO

The Cult
Sonic Temple

Have you ever done anything almost
satanic just for kicks? You know .. . like
putting caterpillers and other insects into a
tennis ball can and setting off an M80 in it
to see the guts ooze out? Or finding a col-
ony of ants and torching them with an
aerosol can and a 39 cent Bic. You pro-
bably enjoyed these activities in junior
high and perhaps you've mellowed out just
a tad since then. But even if you've only
got an ounce of that diabolic blood left in
you, chances are you're going to break
something when you hear the new Cult
album. Sonic Temple.

“Sure,” you're saying to yourself, “The
Cult sold out. I heard that new song,
“Smoke Screen” or something on FLY 92
— they can’t be that good.”

You wouldn't sound that great either

sandwiched between Milli Vanilli and Jody
Watley — especially if you were a hard
rock band. Actually “Fire Woman” is get-
ting air play, but don’t count on it climbing
from the bottom of the charts. Indeed, the
Cult is still a cult band as far as exposure
goes. Unfortunately, the songs no longer
speak for themselves; the. record com-
pany’s promoters now do the talking.
Otherwise Sonic Temple would sell as well
as AC/DC's best.

The problem is, the Cult is too
dangerous. Lead vocalist Ian Astbury
sounds too much like an exorcism at peak
level. Guitarist Billy Duffy rips leads like
the Texas Chainsaw Killer. Bassist Jamie
Stewart contributes the ghost-like thumps,
especially eerie during the intro to “Sun
King.” Micky Curry eats up the beats on
the drums like a rabie-infected doberman.

Still, the scariest thing on'Sonic Temple

is the guest appearance by Iggy Pop sing-
ing backup vocals on “New York City.”
And you thought Satan only appeared on
Beatles albums played backwards.
Somehow it all works. And if you've still
got some fiendishness, check out Sonic
Temple, just for kicks.

— Joey Schneider

drivin ‘n’ cryin
Mystery Road

driving ‘n’ crying are a lot like a spicy
Southern recipe: a dash of this, a dash of
that, and little of everything mixed in. The
band manages to blend together their in-
fluences with a result much like the dishes
of their native land; you like the taste, but
spend a while thinking about exactly what
the ingredients are.

driving ‘n’ crying’s muscial hodge-podge

works for the most part, but sometimes
sounds downright hokey. A case in point is
“Wild Dog Moon,” from the band’s second
album, which tries to cover the bases bet-
ween a raunchy rocker and a moving folk
ballad and falls apart somewhat short of its
goal.

There are more successes than flops on
Mystery Road, which takes equal parts
from folk, country, rock and heavy metal,
and mixes them up with some idealistic,
socially conscious lyrics thrown in. The
band owes just as much thanks to say,
Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bad Company, as
they do to Woody Guthrie.

“Ain't It Strange,” and “House for Sale”
get high marks, along with “You Don’t
Know Me,” the hardest edged cut on the
record.

ittle did I know that when I came to
L college, I'd have an identity crisis

about my town. I mean, I expected
that no one would have ever heard of it
(not because it’s small — it’s not, just in-
credibly nondescript), but I didn’t expect all

what it’s like.

“Mastic?” Invariably, the conversation is
always the same. “I thought that was in
Conneticut.”

“No, you're thinking of Mystic Seaport.
Mastic really is in New York, on Long
Island.” (Actually, I'm just testing your
geography skills. You're batting 1000 so
far)

Island? What exit on the LIE?’

“T was born in a

“Really.” The Pause. “That's out East,
right?”

Suddenly it dawns on them. “Ya mean
people actually live out there all year
round? I thought it was just like a summer
place.”

You're right, you're right, I want to say.
Actually, my parents are the caretakers for
the whole Eastern part of Long Island, and
hence, are the only people who live out
there all year round. I had a happy
childhood, even though there was nobody
to talk to in the winter. But that’s okay I
had the forest creatures to keep me com-
pany. (The sad part is, I don’t even live that
far East there’s 60 miles more of long Island
to be found after my town, each town
smaller than the first. 1 wonder how their
inhabitants handle this.)

“So what do you live by?” I always get
asked this, to which I have a whole slew of

small town...”

answers — the Pine Barrens, the beach,
Westhampton beach, Imelda Marco's sum-
mer home, the Long Island Game Farm.
The amazing thi: z is, not one landmark
seems to register with the person I'm speak-
ing to (“the be2eeeaaaacchh. You know,
sand, water, kiid of like Daytona only
without MTV”), so usually I give up.
Okay, you're right, there's no mall in my
town , mayte it is the boonies,

Which brings me to my next point. My
suitemate from Brooklyn insists that Iam a
hick from Booneyland, while my room-
mate, who's from a farm outside of
Kingston, keeps calling me “city folk” (
which I find hysterical). I can’t even claim
I'm suburban, because I live too far from
the city at least that’s what the “honest-to-
goodness” suburbanites tell me. My town.
has no classification — it’s not even on the
Rand-McNally road map. (Is it any wonder

I'm developing neuroses?)

Sometimes, though, I talk to a person
who has heard of my town. But that’s only
because a) they've passed my town on their
way to their summer homes or b) their
high school football team slaughtered ours.
Hell, I'm just grateful for the recognition.

When I went back to Mastic for
Passover, I tried to look at my town
through different eyes, to determine an
identity and classification that I could tell
to my friends at school (“Hey guys, |
counted 23 Chinese restuarants — it really
is suburbia!”) But I realized that it doesn’t
really matter whether I should be called a
suburban cupcake or townie or what-have-
you. What truly matters is (no matter how
sappy it sounds) the fact that that
anonymous town on the South shore is my
home, and it’s worth the hassle to tell peo-
ple that Mastic is my hometown. o

THOU SHALT NOT

QUESTION THE
ALMIGHTY ?

The appointment with Christ

that got cancelled

wamp Thing”, by all rights, should be a

S happy muck-monster. His comic book has

been widely acclaimed, a movie sequel

called Return of the Swamp Thing is going to be

released this summer, a Saturday morning car-

toon show featuring him is being planned (I kid

you not), his first child is about to be born (Real-

ly), and to top it all off, he was suppposed to meet
Christ in the pages of his comic book.

Swampy is not too happy, though. If Swamp
thing is a little blue, lately, it’s because his currrent
writer/artist, Rick Veitch, is seeing red over the
latest issue of Swanp Thing. You see, Swamp
Thing was supposed to meet Christ in issue no. 88
of that comic but Jenette Kahn, the book’s
publisher, rejected the story. The story was
(reportedly) okayed right on up to the pencilling
“stage and was cancelled with half the pencilling
completed (comics are written and drawn is
stages: plot, art, script, inks, letters, colors; but not
always in that order).

The controversy surrounding this incident is a
clear example of the debate which has been sur-
rounding comic books for many years, indeed, a
debate outside and within the comic book in-
dustry. Comic books, in recent years, have been
getting more mature. “They're not just for kids
anymore.” The problem is many people feel that
now they're not for kids at all. The feeling is that
comic books have gotten too mature and this has
sparked debates of censorship. These debates
have been centering on thé creator's (people who
write and/or draw comics are called ‘creators’)
rights to the characters they write/draw. “Does
Mr. Veitch have the right to write a story
wherein his hero meets Christ?’ “Does DC (the
comic book company which publishes Swamp
Thing) have the right not to publish it?” These are
the questions being asked by people outside and
inside the comics indudstry.

Some feel that DC was acting within its rights
as publisher in pulling the story, that they were
simply censoring something that might be regard-
ed as offensive. Some feel that DC had no right to

censor the controversial story, that the creator's
rights to write (almost) anything he wants are as.
sacred as the First Amendment. Kim Thompson,
who edits the comic book magazine, Amazing
Heroes, wrote a guest editorial for Comics
Buyer's Guide (the “Bible’ of the comic book in-
dustry). In the editorial she expressed her view
that had DC “nixed the story in the first place,”
rather than at one of the final stages, it “would
have been fully within its rights.” She feels that
“DC, after all, has the moral and legal right to

refuse to have one of its characters meet Jesus

Christ .. . But DC also has the obligation to make

these policies clear and explicit from the start.”

Some have felt that DC’s policies regarding
what is acceptable and what is not in their
“Mature Readers” line (of which Swamp Thing is
a part) is unclear. One of Albany's comic shops,
FantaCo, is of the opinion that DC has published
stories considered much worse. A representative
of the shop cited a recent issue of Green Arrow

choose to disagree, or even chose to be disgusted,
by the book, but its theme seems too close to

Pepsi puts an “Amen” at the
end of Madonna’s prayer

epsi invested a great amount to sign

Madonna to it’s ranks, paying her an alleg-

ed $5 million for a year-long contract that
was to include a series of commercials featuring
the mega-star as well as sponsorship by the soft-
drink company for her upcoming tour.

The first commercial — a two minute long t.v.
spot treated as a “media event” — was filmed and
aired in March, as Madonna's latest record Like A
Prayer was on the verge of release. After one
showing of the commercial in its full length and
one showing of the shortened version, however,
Pepsi pulled it from further broadcasts.

It seems that the commercial has been confused
with Madonna's “Like A Prayer” video, and the
video has been met with mounds of opposition.
The controversy relates to the religious sym-
bolism and imagery in the commercial; the confu-
sion stems from the fact that both the commercial
and video use the “Like a Prayer” single as their
soundtracks.

Call it corporate censorship — Pepsi's $5
million investment has gone amiss. Pepsi claims
that the t.v. spot and video were to air “a month
apart.” When they didn’t — the commercial ran
on March 2nd and the video “world premiered”
on MTV the following day — it was, according
to Pepsi, “like two planets collided.”

“Quite frankly, we've been hearing from
thousands of consumers who have confused the
musical video with the commercial,” said a
spokesman for Pepsi. “In the consumer eye they
are indelibly linked as one.”

Pepsi is less than pleased with the confusion,
which spokesmen say is the reason why the com-
mercial won't be aired any longer. Consumers as
well as a number of conservative groups (The
American Family Association, the biggest
amongst those who have blasted Madonna and
Pepsi alike) have expressed their opposition to the
nature of the video, and the commercial along
with it.

The New York Times reported that Pepsi re-
quested that the airing of the video be discon-
tinued. Pepsi denies asking MTV to drop it from
rotation, MTV denies being asked, and
Madonna's record company “can’t answer” ques-
tions concerning the artist’s Pepsi commercial and
video. While MTV and Pepsi agree that the com-
mercial and video are “two separate entities,”
Pepsi basically answered the cries of opposition
by copping out.

According to a Pepsi spokesman, “Madonna is
certainly entitled to her art.” But Pepsi isn’t in the
art business. And if Madonna is to ally with Pepsi,
her art must be sacrificed.

imagery, is on the grounds that it is sacreligious, if
not blasphemous. Madonna, clad in a black slip,
makes love to a saint in church, her palms bleed,
she dances “erotically” before a gospel choir, and
she dances before a row of burning crosses. It's
not to be taken literally.

In the video, Madonna portrays someone who
witnesses an attack on a woman and then the ar-
rest of an innocent man (who resembles the saint),
while she watches the guilty men flee from the
site of the crime. She runs to a church, receives
guidance. In the end, she goes to the police with
her eyewitness account, thereby freeing the inno-
cent man. It’s the triumph of good over evil, the
strength of belief that prevails.

In a New York Times interview, Madonna ex-
plained the video's “questionable” contents. The
involvement with the saint in the church occurs
after she “falls into a dream.” The bleeding palms
are explained as “the guilt in Catholicism that if
you do something that feels good you will be
punished.” It is her “love of God” that directs her
to do “what she believes is right,” and go to the
police.

“Art should be controversial and that’s all there
is to it,” she was quoted as saying. Indeed. Con-
troversy has been a force that Madonna has used
to her advantage in making a name for herself, It
took balls for Madonna to market herself as a
“boy toy,” identified through the public eye by
her over-exposed navel, bra on the outside of her
clothing, thick eyeliner and hanging crucifixes.
She created a persona that very few saw through,
with “parody” as its name. Then having establish-
ed herself, she asked to be taken seriously as an
“artist” — as well as an established commercial
success. Controversy becomes her; it worked.

Pepsi had to have known who they were deal-
ing with and what they were headed for when
they signed with Madonna. On one hand it may
have been a marketing ploy — Madonna has cer-
tainly grabbed headlines with the controversy.
On the other hand, Pepsi may have miscalculated
and underestimated the potential of Madonna's
art.

Regardless, those that took offense should
remember first that this is Madonna, and second-
ly that she is “entitled to her art.” Even so, Pepsi
won't run the commercial (the choice for a new
generation?), nor will they answer questions
about the current standing of her contract. An
MTV spokesman called the controversy a “dead
issue.” It should be.

Say Anything speaks from the heart

presents to the public a work so

overflowing with faith, hope, and
eternal optimism that even the most
radically cold-blooded beings are compell-
ed to shed a few tears of joy. In recent
years, films the likes of The Breakfast Club
and The River's Edge have profoundly il-
lustrated the shocking realism of being
young and lacking direction and purpose in
a world of pain.

Greg Localio

Say Anything, written and directed by
noted screenwriter Cameron Crowe (Fast
Times at Ridgemont High, The Wild Life)
combines the timeless nature of a classic
with the stunning realism of a contem-
porary film addressing the trials and
tribulations of young love and late
adolescence.

The primary focus of the plot revolves
around a delightfully provocative
triumverate of characters consisting of
Lloyd Dobler (john Cusack), Diane Court
(lone Skye), and her over-protective father
James Court (John Mahaney). Lloyd, a
high-school senior lacking direction, is a
young non-conformist whose dream in life
is to be a kickboxer. Upon spotting Diane
Court, Lloyd suddenly happens upon his
newfound goal. .. Diane; a bio-chemistry
major who is the valedictorian of her class
and is as equally beautiful as she is brilliant.

E very once in a great while an artist

Diane's father thinks she's too good for
Lloyd and will eventually break his heart.
But Diane thinks Lloyd is unique in the
fundamentally basic nature with which he
chooses to view and approach his life

through the radiation of relentless

Sometimes dead
(and the book) is better

B efore entering the theater a poster

warns movie goers, ‘Sometimes

Dead Is Better’ and that precisely is
the feeling you will get after suffering
through two hours of Pet Sematary.

Clarence Eckerson

The film is rather faithfully based upon
the Stephen King novel of the same name
which topped the best seller charts over six
years ago. Traditionally, King’s works have
not made the transition to the big screen
and Pet Sematary is no exception. This
despite King himself having written the
Movie screenplay and putting in a
Hitchcock-ian cameo as a priest.

He has also given up directing (following
the terrible Maximum Overdrive) and
hands over the reins to Mary Lambert
Whose most recent credit includes the con-
troversial Madonna video “Like A Prayer.”
Lambert has an uncanny flair for producing
stomach-turning scenes and provides plen-
ty of them. However, somewhere along
the line she has failed to connect
everything together and this, combined
with some bottom of the barrel acting,
keeps Pet Sematary six feet under.

The main action centers around Louis
Creed, a young doctor who moves with his
wife and two children to a remote section
of a Maine village. Here the family meets
up with a giant of a neighbor named Judd
Crandall who drinks so much Budweiser
that he looks like he is auditioning for the
Companys’ next beer commercial. Crandall
is played by former Munsters star Fred
Gwynne who somehow turns the utterly
stupid lines he is given into an amusing and
Sometimes brilliant portrayal and ends up
being the one bright spot in the film.

Judd proceeds to give the Creeds a tour

the final resting place for various family

Eventually Thanksgiving approaches
and while the rest of the family visits

the family cat dead — a victim of one of
the reckless truckdrivers. Judd realizes that
Creed’s daughter will be heart-broken over
the animal’s death and (knowing

ground located beyond the pet sematary to
bury the animal. The next moring Doctor
Louis is astonished to find the feline alive
and somehow changed.

Later that night-over'¢-couple of Buds
(product placement — and it is very an-
noying), Judd tells Louis the past history of
the town and the burial site, which pro-
mpls the doctor to ask his new friend, “Did
they ever bury a human up there?’

By now, it’s obvious that someone close
to Louis will conviently die within the next
ten minutes and be laid to rest in the
mysterious ground. Following a couple of
bloody murders the stage is set for the
showdown between father and _ evil
offspring.

Dale Midkiff as the father never quite
wins us over to his cause and in his best
moments come off as medicore. Denise
Crosby is equally inadequate and
unbelievable as the mother, who at times
ends up looking like a cardboard cut-out.

Furthermore, although it's hard to
criticize young children. actors, in the
critical moments of the film where one of
these kids is trying to kill dear old dad, he
looks much too comical and cute. When he
comes towards the camera with scalpel in
hand he doesn’t look like a killer but more
like he is being prodded off camera with a
lollipop and his favorite stuffed animal.

King must take some of the blame for
cluttering the action with ghosts,
flashbacks, dream sequences and confusing
illusions. Also, Louis Creed’s daughter is
armed with such an unbelievable ESP that
she seems to know more of what is going
‘on than the audience. Director Lambert
also over-uses the cheap device of having
the resurrected cat jump into the scene
almost everytime someone is alone in the
house.

Pet Sematary pulled in 12 million at the
box office and is still going strong. It even
has a video on MTV with a song by the
Ramones called, oddly enough, “Pet
Sematary.” Although the song is quite
good, a sampling of the lyrics — “I don’t
want to be buried in the pet sematary ... I
don’t want to live my life again’ shows
some of the silliness that plagues the film.

optimism.

Cusack plays the part of Lloyd in such a
“zen-like” manner that the viewer is temp-
ted to draw connecitons with works the
likes of Easy Rider. Undoubtedly, Cusack
(Better Off Dead, Fight Men Out) is a ris-

ing star who's innovative leading man-type
qualities just may make him a mainstay in
American film. He possesses a certain (un-
canny) combination of qualities, encom-
passing an almost brilliant blend of in-
telligence, sensitivity, strength, honor, and
courage.

What makes Cusack’s crusade as the
“dare to be great” Dobler ever more im-
pressive is that he accompishes this without
stealing any thunder from his co-stars Skye
and Mahoney. Skye, is at once perfectly
heart-breaking and sexy as she plays
golden girl Ms. Diane Court who has been
slated for greatnesss by her father, played
by Mahoney. Mahoney's character is
awesome in that Diane's father is as com-
plex as Lloyd is basic. This fundamental
conflict presents interesting opportunities,
with the vulnerable Diane caught in limbo,
for some rather surprising occurances as
the film progresses.

The “love conquers all” theme that runs
throughout Say Anything has the power to
instill constant hope and faith throughout
in the minds of even the most cynical
viewers. Say Anything, by Cameron
Crowe, requires nothing to enhance the
soul but a watchful eye and a beating
heart. Oo

THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON

“Oh, Mrs. Oswald ... you've
forgotien something again.”

Separatism

To The Editor:

On Monday, May 1, I attended a lecture given by a
person who survived the Holocaust. There I received
the most blatantly racist verbal harassment I have ever
experienced in my entire life.

A man sitting a seat away motioned me over. With a
very harsh, cold expression, he asked me what I was
doing, and didn’t I know that this was a sensitive topic
and that millions of Jews died? Then he looked at me
like I should be ashamed. ‘‘Weren’t you at the Kwame
Ture lecture?’’ he asked. ‘‘Do you support Kwame
Ture?”

At first I was confused, but then I started getting
scared. I told him that I didn’t know if I support
Kwame Ture, and that I never heard of him before I
got assigned to photograph him. He looked at me in
disbelief and turned away. A few minutes later I asked
him if we could talk outside.

As the door closed Behind us, I started speaking very
loudly ‘‘I don’t understand you. You don’t know who
I am, you have no idea!’’ I couldn’t help but cry the
more I realized the hatred this man had in his eyes. I
became hysterical when I found myself explaining to
this man why I went to the lecture in the first place. I
was very interested in the topic because my father lost
a lot of relatives in the Holocaust. He is extremely sen-
sitive about it and doesn’t really like to discuss it. I felt
really hurt and still confused.

Then it came to me. | asked him if it was because of
my skin color. He said ‘‘Yes, well you are
dark...Black”’ like it was nothing. After that he carried
on fora few more minutes and he apologized. Back in-
side, I couldn’t stop crying so I left again for good.
That night I walked around in the rain crying for an
hour thinking about what had just happened to me.
Doesn’t he realize that the same type of hatred and

seperatism cause his people death? He picked me out
because of my darker skin color and decided that I
hated Jews. A white person would not have received
any abuse and humiliation from this racist. Even with
this horrible experience | still would never generalize
about Jews like he did with me.

I think it would be beneficial for biased non-Jews to
attend such lectures. It might rid them of their
dangerous hatred.

Supports hike

To The Editor:

While everyone is protesting to the cry of “SAVE
SUNYA’’, I would like to point something out. A
leaflet I saw had two contentions:

No Tuition Hike

No Faculty/Staff Cuts

Well, in the real world, these two desires are general-
ly contradictory. What do you want? Personally, I
would rather pay a little more money and be able to
find a T.A. when I need one, or to have more than a
handful of classes to choose from within my major.
Wake up! We have one of the best educational
bargains in the country! Better to pay for its preserva-
tion now, than to allow it to degenerate to the point
that your diploma won’t be worth the paper it’s
printed on, like many public universities costing twice
as much,

On a related note, I just would like to congratulate
Andy DiPalma. The ASP’s first DiPalma quote that I
have come across reads: ‘‘This is fucking great’’. A
great way to lend creedence to your cause in the eyes of
the University.

Richard J. King

Hunger Artist

To the Editor:

I submit this poem as a closing statement to a very in-
vigorating semester. A small summary of events, a good-
bye kiss to the campus center crowd. May we all live hap-
py face stickers ever after.

A hunger artist walks, blood on canvas,
Past the idiots in jams on campus.

Hands red with paint, art’s passionate lover,
Now eats granola, his class is over.

Sits with musicians, singing protest songs
With hoarse feminists fighting all our wrongs.
A rebel, mad, unshaven, sunglasses,

“Oh, the unsophisticated masses.’’

No television show he would ever watch.
A crystal, a tye-dye, a beard, a swatch.
All his black brothers, oh how they suffer,
Sit ins, Riots, JAIL, right after supper.

Beers with Bukowski, gin with Hemingway,
Pina Colada spring break Hawaii.

Down and out hitch-hiker wears leather boots,
Laughs at businessmen in three-piece-suits.

It’s cool to be gay even though he’s not,

T.V. ruins the brain, would rather smoke pot.
College is useless, confined by good grades,
Mother Nature teaches, in the park, frisbee.

A hunger artist walks home, sad, often
Waits a beautiful angry young woman.
Tired feminist, unmade water bed;
Romantic, Middle-Class, Granola Heads.

—Joel Warshaw

Party in the Park

To The Editor:

On Sunday, April 30th, the Off Campus Associa-
tion put on Party in the Park. The event drew around
five thousand students and community residents. To
everyone there, it was one of the best parties ever.
Everyone had fun and there were no serious injuries or
arrests made. For that, I thank all the people who
came and enjoyed themselves.

With an event of this size, no one person can take all
the credit for putting it on. Planning for this event
started way back in December and continued until the
event was over. Back in December, many people

volunteered to head various committees needed to
have this event. These people did everything that was
needed to be done within their respective committees
and updated the chair of OCA as to their progress.
This was the extent of the chairs responsibilities. I was
updated to what was going on and if need be, coor-
dinated a little timing if one group had to have
something done. Before another group could start on
their project.

With this in mind, I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to give emphatic thank yous to all the people
that worked so hard to put on this very successful par-
ty. Barbra Gray, who coordinated everything with the
Parks Commissioner; Steven Harrison, who did all the
budgeting and also got all the vendors; Dave Samuals,
for getting all the licenses, permits, and insurance;
Susan Estroff, who handled all the day of the event
coordination; Gayle Faerstein, who handled every
aspect of advertising; Lisa Rizzolo and Hillary Rosens-
tein, who did press releases and day of the event; Brian
Lowey, who got al the bands to play; Kerstin Cox,
who helped most every committee and day of the
event; and all the new OCA Board Members for day of
the event help. Once again, thank you! It was an in-
credible time and best of luck to OCA next year.

Dave Salem

Goodbye, Larry

To the Editor:

This is written for and dedicated to Lawrence Manis, who
recently died from Muscular Dystrophy. Larry was a
SUNYA graduate of 1988, whose most visible difficulty
was life in a wheelchair; however, the pain was more dif-
ficult for him than maneuvering around. This is in
memory of Larry and of the times he spent here at
SUNYA.

Some would utter a prayer

Others might carry forth a tear

A few don’t know or even care

I just wish you were still here.

It was just a short time ago, I recall

Wearing a smiling face and keds on your feet

You were gliding through the corridors of our hall
Heading for the library or perhaps the cafeteria to eat

Taking food from the backs of spoons and drinks from a
straw.
Watching Rudolf and Frosty frolick in the snow
And every time we’d whistle along and heartily guffaw
The lamp went out and only a tiny red bulb would glow
He will never forget, nor will I
Playing Bone checkers, when we first met
I taught him, then he beat me and every other guy
I could tell then that he wasn’t finished yet
Taping up for a wheelchair hockey_game
Kicking up your wheels as you danced in the flagroom
Realizing then, that we are all the same
Only that, some of us have a little more time.
Now I know what it means, they live on in memory.
cules something you said too often, never with a reason
why.
You apologized for everything, yet I’m the one who’s
sorry
I’m sorry, sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye.
As for the procession, Larry, I’m sorry I was late
But to love you, I couldn’t have done it any other way.
And as you stood there, looking back from heaven’s gate
You knew your friends would come, despite the rain or
traffic delay.
And as my heels sunk into the moistened ground
Drenched from all the endless rain
The birds in the trees were making happy sounds
As we stared, numb from all the pain.
It all went by so fast
I didn’t know when to cry
There I was, with you at last =
Of all the words I know, all I could say was ‘why?’
Why, just when he was going somewhere,
Was he starved of his well-earned life?
How could a benevolent God put some in chairs
And wound them, deeper than any knife?
But there is one thing I owe to Larry, it’s the will to live.
To never ask for more, never complain, but always to
give.
Give from the heart and soul and never ask why.
To keep on giving with a smile, even if it’s meant to die.
So that’s what I believe he did, gave his life upon the need
In order to help someone or something to live, breathe
and feed.
It was back in the fall of 1985
When Larry’s SUNYA career came alive.
Four years always seemed so few to me
But not when life ends at twenty-three.

—Forest Cotten

Fountain

~<Front Page

many more students were
gathered in corners of the podium
enjoying the beautiful spring day
between their classes.

Fountain Week, organized by
the Junior class council, is meant
to be a ritual associated with the
beginning of spring and also a last
week of relaxation before finals,
according to Jessica Casey, direc-
tor of Student Activities.

In its original incarnation,
Fountain day was held in con-
junction with Human Awareness
Program (HAP) week. This pro-
gram was created to aid in reduc-
ing the alienation between faculty
and students, and between
students of different
backgrounds. Some students call
HAP day Happy Apathetic
People.

According to Casey, HAP-type
programming is “happening in a
better way now, with World
Week and other activities to bring
people together now happening
year-round, instead of for just
one week at the end of the school
year.”’

SUNYA’s Greek organizations
contributed to the Fountain Week

festivities with many tables on the |

podium selling everything from
cotton candy and popcorn to
flowers, t-shirts and Mayfest
tickets.

The Interfraternity Council and
SUNYA Panhellenic joined
forces to raise money for the
Children’s Hospital at Albany
Medical Center. Balloons were
sold at $1 a piece; students receiv-
ed a balloon and filled out a gift
card that would go to the children
along with the donations.

According to Peter Fante, past
President of Sigma Nu fraternity,
more than $700 was expected to
be raised by the end of Thursday
afternoon. Although the fund-
Taising was not officially a part of
Fountain Week, Fante said the
decision to table during the week
was simple; ‘‘It was a great op-
Portunity to reach large groups of
People”’ in order to raise as much
Money as possible.

“Tt’s our obligation to serve the
community, and we’re just fulfill-
ing that obligation here,” he said.

The warm weather did not,
however, prevent some dedicated
Students from talking about their
final exams, and one or two were
taking advantage of the afternoon
to study in the open air.

Friday should provide time for

elleviate a student’s fear of walk-
ing alone on campus at night.
Many of us still picture that dark
and dangerous shadow lurking in
the background. Many of us are
Tobbed of that feeling of safety
and it can be very upsetting.
Sometimes the fear which people
have of leaving their rooms or
homes can become crippling emo-
tionally and can also lead to the
development of such phobias as
Agoraphobia. Webster defines
Agoraphobia as ‘abnormal fear
Of crossing or of being in open or
Public places.””

As a student on a very large
campus, it is important for you to
feel safe and comfortable in your
environment. There are alot of
©xperiences that could be missed
Out on by a fear of walking on
campus at night. However, the

x
SSOP wees ease cee wN Ie

fear of walking alone is not total-
ly unwarranted. There have been
incidents of students who were at-
tacked on college campuses like
the one described by Miss
Williams. It is essential that you
| make yourself aware of services
which are available to you so that
you can make your nights out on
campus a little safer.

Self defense classes and books
on the subject are available to
students. The Don’t Walk Alone
services could be utilized. This
service is located in the SUNY
library and provides an escort to
walk students to various spots on
campus. There is always, for most
of us, the option of walking with
a friend, boyfriend or suitemate.

| These are all very important con-

siderations to make before you
take that first step out into the
night.

If you have had experiences in
the past which are making you a
little leary of walking on campus
at night even with an escort, Mid-
dle Earth is available to help you
sort through those feelings. If you
think your fear goes beyond just
walking on campus at night, The
University Counseling Services
can provide you with more infor-
mation on phobias such as

raphobia.

KEEP MAYFESTALIVE

Mayfest ‘89 is here. University Concert Board

has its liquor license, its insurance, and now |
| SUNYA has its famed Mayfest. It will all take
place on May 6, 1989 at noon(gates open at

| 10:30) and here are the rules: |

1) Two positive forms of ID, verifying a student's age as 21 or over(at
least one of which must have a picture of the student), will be re- |
quired in order for a student to receive a wristband which allows en-
try to the beer garden. Acceptable forms of ID include: Sheriff's ID,
| Driver's License, Birth Certificate, Passport. A University ID will not
| be considered proof of age, but may be used to prove identity when

| used with another form of non-picture identification.

| a) Any student that presents an altered University ID will have it

| | confiscated at the entry area and will be referred to the Universtiy

| Judicial System.

b) Any student that presents an altered Driver's License will be sub-
/ ject to criminal charges, in addition to the University Judicial System. |
|

2) Absolutely no cans, bottles, or coolers will be allowed in the area.
This will be enforced at the entry gates. In addition, students that
| somehow smuggle such “contraband” into the Mayfest area will |
| have it confiscated and be referred to the University Judicial System.

3) No one who is apparently intoxicated will be admitted to the
| event, regardless of their age or possession of a ticket.

4) In order to discourage students from driving, there will be extra
busses to bring off-campus students to Mayfest and to bring them
back home.

under the drinking age, don’t buy a drinking ticket(you will waste $4)
and don’t even try to gain access to the beer garden. This event is an
| on-campus event; you need SUNYA ID with a valid tax sticker to
buy only one ticket. NO EXCEPTIONS. When buying a ticket you
will have the option for buying ONE(1) guest ticket at the guest ticket
rate. Last but not least, we have worked very, very hard to bring
Mayfest back to SUNYA, if the event doesn’t (due to lack of ticket
sales or problems at the show), Mayfest ‘90 is highly unlikely. We
have done our best to provide a variety of music for Mayfest ‘89, go
out and buy a ticket. It promises to be the best and biggest event this
campus has seen in years. Enjoy! Andrew Korus
; Chairman, University Concert Board
Robert Levin
Vice-Chairman, University Concert Board

dollars or tuition increases.”
Budget officials for Cuomo say
that these savings could be made
without diminishing the univer-
sity’s academic programs and
support services.
Johnstone has repeatedly said
that any further cuts in the
University would severely hurt

Many programs and support ser-
vices that SUNY offers.

“I think the treatment of these
universities (SUNY and City
University of New York) has been
horrendus,” Miller said about the
cuts last year and the projected
cuts this year.

“T see it as a further downward
destruction of the University,”
Miller said.

Budget officials for Cuomo

said that they are looking at possi-
ble measures to trim the fat from
SUNY to put into the proposed
budget.

One option is to tighten the
university’s methods of collecting
tuition delinquency. “A large
percentage of the tuition goes un-
collected,’’ said Anne Dowdy, a
Cuomo budget official.

Another method to trim the
SUNY budget, according to

Dowdy, would be to limit the °

amount of health coverage the
University gives to its students.

“Many of the students are
covered by their parents, and also
are covered by the university,”
Dowdy said.

Cuomo budget officers might
ask SUNY Central Administra-
tion to start major Alumni fund
raising on all campuses.

““Many of the SUNY campuses

don’t have fundraising from
alumnists,”” Dowdy said. ‘The
ones that do are not big money
makers.””

Arlette Slachmuylder, a SUNY
Trustee, said Cuomo’s office had
also said that teachers do not
teach enough, and that Cuomo
budget officials wanted to in-
crease the student-to-teacher
ratio. o

Track coach Vives has run a tough road

By Michael Director
‘STAFF WRITER

Growing up in the South Bronx, Albany men’s track
coach Roberto Vives learned how bad life could be. He
stayed clear of all the drugs, crime and gang violence he
saw and by following a strong family life he stayed out of
trouble.

His life was influenced immensely when at 23 he saw
the murder of his father. The person who did it, Vives
calls a ‘‘product of society.”” This made him want to work
with people especially young kids. He then turned his
energies into coaching.

Turning 34, he is entering his 20th year of coaching.
Starting at 14, he coached a neighborhood track team. He

, also founded the Bronx International Track Club in 1975,

At first it was five people and no money, but it changed
into a club with 200 members, several national cham-
pions, and three Olympic athletes.

Vives himself is an accomplished runner. He won a
gold medal on the 4x400 meter Empire state team and
won a silver in the 110 meter high hurdles.

He was hired at Albany in 1985 and has compiled a
65-19 coaching record. His coaching has produced 11
State Champions, seven All-Americans and three Na-
tional Champions. In addition, his 1987 team placed sixth
in the indoor nationals.

His proudest achievement however is the one academic
All-American he coached. He likes to coach because he
..-‘‘likes to work with people’’ and is ‘‘an educator at
heart.” This is what makes the academic All-American

very important to him.

He came to Albany because he thought it was a nice
place for his family. He values that and thinks it is very
important. He then turned to his second love, education,
and took the Albany coaching job.

Aside from coaching, Vives is an instructor of tae-
kwando. He is a red belt and has recently won a N.Y.
State ATA championship.

Vives has done much to improve the track program
academically as well as athletically. This year he went
8-0-1 indoors and 4-2 outdoors and has already had an
athlete qualify for National competition.

He loves his job and as for the future he said ‘‘I will
stay here for as long as I see.’”” Hopefully for Albany this

Lacrosse goal keeper
faces painful occupation

(AP) Gary Gait emerges from a throng of
players at midfield after the opening face
off and heads down the center of the field
with the ball toward the Cornell goal,
where All-American goalie Paul Schimoler
waits.

Meanwhile, Gary’s twin brother Paul
scampers down the right side, twirling his
lacrosse stick as though he has the ball. In
the dimly lit Carrier Dome, Schimoler is
fooled. While he intently watches Paul
Gait’s every move, a huge grin creeps
across Gary’s face as he unleashes a
blistering, 20-yard shot that whizzes past
Schimoler’s ear and into the net just 13
seconds into the game. Schimoler never
even sees it.

SUNY Albany

By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR

Ah, sitting in the fountain on a
beautiful Thursday afternoon. Another
year over, and some time to look back.

This was definitely a fun year for
sports at the ASP. We saw some new
writers burst on the scene and saw two
Teliables go. (Best of luck Steve and
Denise.)

Football was a new experience. I
Played in high school, but covering it is a
different story in itself. You see when the
game is away, you have to get there. Ever
try to rent a car in Albany on a Friday?
Here’s a word to the wise: don’t. And if
you don’t know your way to Fordham,
don’t ask the toll collectors on the
Thruway. One more thing, have you ever
had a Chinese Fire Drill at a toll booth?

Seriously, thanks go out to the sports
guys at WCDB, Alex, Howie, and Vince.
We had some good times on the road,
and I’m looking forward to next season.

To the fine staff at the SID’s office
(that’s Sports Information Director) that
were always quick with post-game stats,
thanks for a good job.

This one is for football coach Bob
Ford and women’s hoops coach Mari
Warner. Whenever I had a question (no
Taatter how stupid they were) they always
had an answer. They were always around
(including the time I interviewed Coach
Ford in a van on the way to a car dealer
‘On Central Ave.) to talk too. Any coach
who can talk to a reporter after a heart-
breaking loss like Coach Warner did has
My unbridled respect.

Well that’s it, 46 issues under the
bridge. Before I forget, I want to thank
my associate editor Gil. This guy worked
his butt off and put up with me. Thanks

caged helmet, a throat protector and a
chest protector thinner than a baseball cat-
cher’s, gloves, and an oversized stick.
Never mind that most shots originate
within 8 to 14 yards of the goal. And that
5% ounce hard rubber ball doesn’t exactly
tickle when it hits bare skin.

It may just be the toughest, most
unrewarding position in team sports.

“T suppose it requires somewhat of a
different mental approach,” says former
Hobart netminder Guy Van Arsdale.

As for injuries, amazingly, they’re
usually just bumps and bruises. Sure,
there’s the occasional mishap that leaves
the crowd buzzing. Like when Hobart’s
Dave Creighton suffered a black eye when
a shot went through his mask in the 1972
North-South game. Or when Van Arsdale
caught one on the thigh against Syracuse in
1981.

“They had a native American named
Greg Tarbell whose shot was clocked at
well over 100 miles an hour,’’ Van Arsdale
said. ‘‘The whole leg went dead. The next
day the leg was black and blue from about
just above the knee to almost the groin,
and all the way around the whole leg ex-
cept for about a four-inch strip of white
skin.” oO

will be a very long time.

The goalkeeper position in lacrosse can be as painful as it is difficult

Baseball team sweeps doubleheader

By Jerry L. Kahn
STAFF WRITER

The SUNY Albany men’s baseball team
won a make-up doubleheader from
Binghamton by the scores of 2-1 and 7-0.
That raised their record to 7-13.

Stellar pitching performances by Vic
Gordon and Thad Luke, respectively, led
to the sweep. Luke has now yielded only
one run in his last two games, both of
which were complete games.

Coach Ed Zaloom said ‘‘Thad Luke pit-
shed a great game.”

The first game was close. The winning
run came home when Bobby Pettersen
singled home Steve Sassano. Sassano had

hit a double. He was three for three overall
in the game.

Gordon gave up six hits and two walks,
and had eight strikeouts.

Coach Zaloom said that Gordon ‘‘pitch-
ed beautifully. I was very happy for Vic.’”
He added ‘‘We played good defense. (The)
infield was solid all day.’’

In the nightcap, the offense was sparked
by three of the Great Danes. Tom Bravata
was three for three. He had a double and
scored twice. Dan Proper hit a three run
triple in the fourth inning to make the
score 5-0. Will Frank was two for three.

Coach Zaloom said that Frank ‘‘con-
tinued hitting the ball well.”

Luke threw a two hitter and struck out
SIX.

Zaloom also said ‘I’m happy with the
way the team is playing. We’ve improved
drastically. We’re starting to play real
good ball.””

The final game of the year will be today,
Friday May 5 at Westfield State. It is a
make-up for Tuesday’s rainout. Ed Han-
nan will hurl for Albany.

Graduating seniors include Bravata,
who has caught every inning of every game
during the past four years, Gordon, John
Krall, and Pettersen.

Zaloom said that Krall ‘‘gives you 100
percent all of the time.”” Oo

Celtics not same team without Bird

(AP) The hallowed hall, filled so often
with sounds of celebration, was silent and
almost empty. From the balcony’s
shadows, one lingering fan’s pained plea
echoed mournfully through the gloom.

“‘La-reeeee, La-reeeee, La-reeeee.”’

Where were you, Larry Bird, in our time
of need?

The wail bounced off Boston Garden
rafters decorated with 16 championship
banners, reminders of happier times.

Boston’s worst season in a decade had
just ended. Bird spent the final game — a
100-85 loss to Detroit Tuesday night — in
a sweater at the end of the bench instead of
in a Celtics’ jersey in the middle of the
action.

Forget about the Celtics’ other injuries
and inexperience. Forget about the im-

provement of NBA rivals. The fan’s cry
cut right to the heart of the proud fran-
chise’s problems.

Without Bird, the Celtics are ordinary.
With him, they’re outstanding.

“You take Michael Jordan away from
the bulls, you take Magic Johnson away
from the Lakers, you see where they are,”’
Boston center Joe Kleine said.

When Bird is healthy and in playing con-
jition again, ‘‘I would think that he will be
what he’s always been,’ Coach Jimmy
Rodgers said, ‘a great player.”

Until Bird goes through training camp
without a recurrence of physical problems
and shows his skills didin’t wither during
his lost season, there will be doubts that he
zan be the dominant player he once was.

He had surgery to remove bone spurs

from both heels Nov. 19 and didn’t play
again. In a sport that requires so much
running, jumping and changing direction,
there is no guarantee that his repaired feet
will carry him to his previous heights.

Bird played in only six games this
season. He missed the next 79, including
all three in the playoffs.

Boston was 42-40 during the regular
season, its worst record since 1978-79, the
last time it missed the playoffs. It lost the
opening series to the Pistons, 3-0, marking
only the fourth time it had been swept in
the 82 playoff series in franchise history.

But Bird’s absence wasn’t all bad. It ac-
celerated Boston’s already planned transi-
tion from an aging squad with a halfcourt
offense to a younger team that could run
and leap. Qo

Task force to look into Division | move up —

By Alyse Krieger
‘STAFF WRITER

Many changing events on cam-
pus have raised consciousness for
a movement in the athletic depart-
ment toward more competitive
levels. .

Recently at a meeting of th
University Senate, SUNYA Presi-
dent Vincent O’Leary indicated
that an interest has been express-
ed by the campus, alumni, and
community for the athletic teams
to move up to a higher division,
especially in the sport of basket-
ball, according to Lewis Welch,
executive Vice President for
University Affairs.

The concern first arose last

change and upgrade their athletic
programs,’’ Welch said.

Presently, the University at
Buffalo has already started the
transition from Division III to
Division I in all sports. _

O’Leary will be appointing a
task force, which will compose of
faculty, students, administrators
and alumni representatives. The
taskforce will also include
members of the Senate Educa-
tional Policy Council (EPC)
which will report back through
the EPC to the University Senate
and finally recommend to
O'Leary.

“Tt will decide whether the
University should be reveiwed to

see if we need to be more com-
petitive,’’ Welch said.
According to EPC chair Ken-

“Maybe | didn’t motivate then properly,”” said Dane tennis coach
Bob Lewis after the men’s tennis team completed their spring season
with a record of 1-7 and 6-13 (combined fall and spring).

“We have a lot of young players,”’ said Lewis of a team that con-
sisted of three sophomores, two juniors and five freshman.

Number one singles player Don Brahler, one of the five freshman,
finished with the best individual record, 4-4, despite dropping two of
his last three matches, the one win coming against Colgate.

The Danes lost to Colgate by a narrow mangin of 5-3, winning
three of the four singles matches. The one loss was by transfer student
Dave Lencewicz by a score of 1-6, 6-4, 7-5. Lencewicz was up 5-2 in
the third set. Lencewicz on the other hand won two of his last three
matches.

The team as a whole suffered their second consecutive losing
season. Before last year they had not had one since 1969, the year
Lewis took over. It was also the third consecutive year the team did
not qualify a player for the nationals.

“‘We play a rough schedule,’’ said Lewis, ‘‘that and the fact that
we had internal problems contributed to our won-loss record.”

“(We) all need to work harder,” said Lewis, ‘myself and the
players; we have the talent to have a good team.”’

“}’m disappointed but not discouraged,’’ said Lewis. i

dali Birr, ‘“(O’Leary) told us its a
subject he wants us to look into
but we’re not sure what his plans
are.”’ Birr explained that they
have been approached on the
matter but have not yet examined
it directly. ‘It will be on next
year’s agenda,” he said.

If it happens it will be a long
one. “Its a four-five year pro-
cess,”’ O’Leary said.

According to Dr. William
Moore, Director of Athletics,
“The NCAA manual has - well
defined steps to move to Division
bw

Moore explained that “if we
make the move, all the teams will
move except for football.’? There
are additional regualations that
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) requires.
However, though, the football
team cannot move to Division I
unless all the other teams do. Ac-
cording to NCAA rules to be a
member in Division I for basket-
ball, a school must sponsor a
minimum of six varsity sports, in-

cluding two team sports, in Divi-
sion I. For the football team,
there must be at least seven.

Teams are also required to play
a certain percentage of their
games against teams in specific
divisions.

The process to move from Divi-
sion III to Division I is a “long
Tange project that must have
practical consideration and be
carefully orchestrated,’’ Moore
said. “Before moving to Division
Il you need to meet a list of
NCAA criteria, that takes about
one year. Then you must be a
Division II team for three years
before you can become Division
I,” he said.

It was also noted that the new
fieldhouse will play a role in this
move. ‘The new facility will pro-
vide us with the extra room to ac-
commodate the move,”’ Moore
said.

Another effect, which is also
included in the rules, is the crea-
tion of an Intercollegic Athletic
Board (IAB) and an Income Fund

second or third seed and will be in the
tourney for the ninth time in the last 10
seasons.

Reimbursable (IFR). ‘‘A member
of Division I strives to finance its
athletic program so far as possible
from revenues generated by the
program itself. All funds suppor-

ting athletics should be controlled

by the institution.’” The Universi-
ty Administration and the Stu-
dent AsSociation have just recent-
ly come to an agreement over the
formation of IAB with respect ot
funding.

The board will consist of six
faculty and administrators and
five students, who will regulate

the IFR so that it is spent in accor-

dance with the SA budget.

The taskforce will be reviewing
morality and integrity of the pro-
grams and whether or not
SUNYA can meet the re-
quirements and how it will all fit
together, O’ Leary said, as well as
other aspects of the decision.

Once the taskforce gains all its
information, a report will be sub-
mit to O’Leary and the Board of
Trustees who will then decide. 0

The University is contemplating a move into Division | athletics.
