Another S U N Y A resident o f Albany's Pine Hills "student ghetto"
became the victim of assault Saturday, Ihc first reported case of rape
since classes were suspended for the holiday break.
Albany Police arc currently investigating the rape and sodomy of
the 20 year old SUNYA'student, who was temporarily slaying in a
Hudson Avenue first-floor apartment. According l o the police, the
woman was awakened and attacked at approximately 1 a.m.
The assailant apparently entered the apartment through an
unlocked window of a rear enclosed porch, then forced open the kitchen door. Police believe he left the apartment in the same way.
The rapist was described as a black male, approximately 5 ' 9 " , between 28 and 30 years o f age, with a muscular build and a dark complexion.
Police said there were some reported burglaries during the three
week vacation period, and entry had been gained in a similar manner
to Saturday's break-in.
The rapist is not believed to be the " P i n e Hills Toucher," who
does not rape his victims, but fondles them Instead. However, he
does enter apartments Ihc same way as the rapist. -Andrew Carroll

Soviets May Use Chem Warfare
WASHINGTON (AP) The Soviet army has brought decontaminating equipment into Afghanistan, raising the
possibility that the Russians may be prepared to use
chemical weapons against rebel tribesmen, U.S. intelligence
sources said Thursday. American specialists have no way of
knowing what this means. The sources said, however, it
suggests that chemical warfare may be used against rebels
and to clean up affected areas so they can be occupied by
Soviet military forces or Afghan government Jroops. Some
U.S. military specialists say the Russians may have brought
the chemical decontaminating equipment into Afghanistan
because this equipment is normally assigned to many Soviet
army units.
Afghan Ousts U.S. Journalists
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN (AP) The Soviet-backeu
Afghan government has ordered all American journalists
out of the country, accusing them of biased reporting and
"interference in the country's internal affairs," a U.S. Embassy official told the journalists today. Authorities detained the Americans at Kabul's Intercontinental Hotel, where
most were staying, and told them they would be expelled
Friday. About 50 or 60 of the approximately 200 Western
correspondents, photographers and broadcast crew
members now in Afghanistan are American. Most arrived
early this month after the Soviet Union poured tens of
thousands of its troops into this central Asian country,
where they helped overthrow one Marxist government and

England Urges Pakistan Aid
LONDON(AP) Britain's Foreign Secretary predicted that
the Soviet Union will not advance beyond Afghanistan for
the time being but warned the Western allies to give top
priority to bolstering Pakistan's defenses. "Anybody who
does not take the Soviet threat to the region seriously is certainly deceiving himself," said Lord Carrington after a visit
Wednesday to a refugee camp in northwest Pakistan 40
miles from the Afghan border and 18 miles from Kabul, the
Afghan capital. "There will be a period of comparative
calm," he continued. "But it will be unwise for the West
not to understand the urgent need for the defense of their
interests, including Pakistan's security."

U.S. Searches For Grain Outlets
WASHINGTON (AP) The United States, selling Mexico
some of the millions or tons of grain embargoed for shipment to the Soviet Union, wants to expand sales to other
countries, an administration official says. Dale E.
Hathaway, under secretary of agriculture, announced
Wednesday an agreement under which Mexico will buy just
over 1 million tons of the 17 million metric tons of corn and
wheat embargoed to the Soviets. He said the United States
was looking into the possibility of having other countries
buy more of the grain thai had been destined for the Soviet
Union, but declined to name the countries or indicate how
much grain might be involved.

University Library Assistant
Director Richard Tastor appeared
before an Albany County grand
jury January 3, and testified that
the volumes were never checked out
of the library. A scaled indictment
has been ordered, he said.
Tastor said he became aware of
the therL when SUNYA officials
received a" telephone call from an
Albany landlord who complained
that one of his tenants had
"skipped town" without paying the
rent, leaving a huge stack of books.
"We have no idea when or how
this occurred," he said. "We hope
to find out how the books were
stolen to prevent this kind of incident from happening again."
Tastor said the books are currently being held as evidence in Ihe
custody of SUNYA Police and the
University Library. He said he does
not know when they will be returned lo the shelves.
The case was turned over lo
Albany County District Attorney
Sol Greenberg's office for investigation about a month ago.
Grcenberg refused to comment on
how much time elapsed before his
office began its investigation. "The
library wasn't too concerned about
'.he missing books until they called,
our office," he countered. "They
never made an inquiry all that time
when the books • were off the
shelves."
Tastor said he could not estimate
the cost of the missing books, pan
of the library's 1 million-volume
collection. The book thief was interested In economics and history,
said Tastor, who could not recall
any specific titles of the stolen
volumes.

was denied the $5 million loan that
would have funded an eightbuilding, two-story complex with a
housing capacity of 440 students.
Brown pointed out, however, that
the complex would take at least one
year to construct.
Brown may request a change in
the SUNY 1980-81 Executive
Budget proposal to provide for additional housing funds.
The building is within walking
distance of the downtown SUNYA
campus and the SUNY and CDTA
buslines. Brown estimates the
warehouse building could be converted to 50-60 apartments, housing
74-90 students.
In addition, Brown said that "tnc

"There may be some other options," he said. "There's no doubt
that the doubling RA's rooms and

A nationwide poll of American
women has found that there is virtually no difference in the sexual
practices of Democrats and
Republicans, or conservatives,
liberals and radicals.
The political newsletter The
Baron Report states that "over 90
percent (of the women) of all
groups arc fully faithful to their
husbands."
However, the pollsters reportedly
did fino that, when it comes lo sexual behavior, (quote) "Liberal
Republicans are the most liberated;
(and) Conservative Democrats the
least."
77ie Baron Report adds that — in
its words — "on the question of the
frequency of premature ejaculation, Liberal Democratic husbands
come in first. And Liberal
Republican husbands last." The

American dream Manhattan is where young maidens of
Nebraska and Wyoming come to become somebodies.
Some end up on the streets, but there's always that one,
one out of millions, who goes out there a nobody and
comes back a star.
They say it's a heartless town filled with ambitious types
who beat their kids and die of heart attacks before they're
4.r.. It's a tough town, demanding, persistent, it never lets
up though it often lets you down. They say that you
haven't made it until you make it on the streets of New
York. And for every light on Broadway . . .
Yet despite it all, the masses never stop looking east to
The City and the State of Possibility. Nor do its haters
ever abate their wrath: always rushing, all the dirt and
grime and crime, conjested. Like pepperoni, New York is
hot, spicy, and hard to swallow. You either love it or hate
it, but you must react to it.

Queens Stoops To Conquer
. In this country, there are three types of
animal: city dwellers, country folk, and suburbanites.
Each grows up with some knowledge the
other cannot readily acquire. The country kid,
for example, can reveal wonderful tidbits
abou,t,the milking of cows at 5 in the morning
and polling for Fresh Air Fund commercials
while splashing Into water holes.
The city kid, a much faster talker and walker
than his country counterpart, will be able to
guide you through the subways at age eight
and show you the art of "moving up" at
basketball games ($6 seats for general admission) .
And then there is the third member of the
species, the suburbanite, of which most of
SUNYA is comprised. The suburban kid mostly offers ignorance about Ihe things the city
dweller and country folk know. And he can
tell you all there is to know about hanging out
at a shopping mall.
I should know. I'm a suburbanite, from Northport on Lawn Guyland. I can cut grass, rake
leaves and cut off commuters while picking my
father up at the train station. But as a kid, I
couldn't fit into any of these categories. You
see, 1 grew up in Queens.
Queens, though technically within'the New
York City limits, has many sections which look
more like Long Island than Manhattan. People
in Queens brag to suburbanites that they live in
"the city," while Inwardly they consider
themselves as part of the suburbs.
The block I grew up on had trees, houses
and back yards with gardens. But former
Mayor John Lindsay made sure we
remembered we were part of New York: there
was the teacher strike, the garbage strike and
the Infamous Lindsay snowstorm. John Lindsay. Pretty-boy mayor of the 19_60's. Oh, did
Queens ever hate him. Which reminds me of a
little ditty we would sing that you wouldn't
hear in schoolyards in Syossel or Tonawanda:
Though we ventured Into Manhattan only
on school trips and visits to relatives (much like
the suburbanites), there was one aspect which
set us apart from non-city kids: the games we
played.
When I moved to Suffolk County at age 12,
I gazed around our block and experienced my
first case of culture shock. The houses had no
stoops! I couldn't play stoopball anymore — a
passion of my youth, along with dozens of
other games which would fade Into wistful
memories.
With a little league field on every corner,
suburban kids have " m deprived of the Imaginative and resourceful games the kids In
Queens and the clii jlay. Give us a "Pencle
Pinkie" (a rubber ball) and watch us go: handball, stoopball, stickball, catch-a-flles-up, errors, punchball, slapball. kickball, saluggi.
Make the ball a bit larger and we'd have a
dodgeball.
Have a car run down the street and we'd
see how many times we could chuck a ball
over it before it passes. Take an ice cream stick
and we'd see how many times you could hit it
In the street from several feet away with one of
those balls. For forty-two cents, the pencie
pinkie was the biggest bargain In town.
Soon we would discover hardballs, which
had a strange way of discovering windows.
With more windows per square block, Queens
has its share of more errant home runs causing
terror among kids
The other major sports had some variations,
too. Basketball hoops never had nets and
telephone poles served as yard markers (or
strt for>lbal: don'* ever remember playing
hockey. In our neighborhood, I don't think we
knew what It was.
And r there was stickball, which was our
answer to one-on-one basketball. In stickball,
the trick to winning was to find an opponent
who was shorter than you and chalk in a strike
zone box on the wall just a little bit over his
head. Feed him high hard ones and watch
him suffer.
On our block, all games would cease at the
sound of bells. Like Pavlov's dogs, we'd Immediately salivate because those bells meant
the arrival of the ice cream man. Those men In
white would really milk our block —
sometimes coming four times in the same day.
Our favorite ice»cream man was named John
and he worked for a company called
Bungalow Bar. To show him our affection,
we'd give him a rousing chorus of our version
of the Bronx cheer:
Bungalow Bar,
Tastes tike tar!
The more you eat it,
The sicker you are!
And then all us young Robert Frosts would
buy every cone and sandwich and dixie cup
he had.
The key to fun in my neighborhood wasn't
equipment, It was people — bodies. Get
enough kids together and you could play Red
Rover, Red Light Green Light, Freeze Tag,
Hide and Go Seek (which, with lite accent,
came out "hlnegoseek") and those two
classics: Johnny on the Pony and Rlny-OLiveo. Like baseball card flipping, these games
would often errupt Into wars. Bottle caps came
In handy In "skelly". a variation of marbles,
and even the yellow lines in a parking lot
would provide amusemenl In a game t ailed
Box-tag.
And when the girls got away from llieir
Barbie-dolls, they could do more things with a
jumprope than we could with a rubber ball.
For a kid, the difference between Queens
and Suffolk County was like night and day.
Most of those games were discarded in favor
of such strange pasttlmes as soccer ami Little
League.
But one never forgets a Queens childhood.
"Hey Lip, you wanna challenge 177th

can beat us."
"Tomorrow, maybe. We got a new
clubhouse we built from taking lumbet Irom
that new house. The Mets Fan Club. I lall Wes

Perhaps it's that numerous Illegalities and
degeneracies are traditional components of
street life, .We've always been fascinated with
the Illegal, the rebellious, and the hidden.

amidst this transportation turmoil.
When 1 was in New York City, for example,
during about the forty-fourth hour, I was suddenly struck with the fact that subway trains
entering a dimly lit, cold, sullen subway station
make unbearable noise. I realized that 1 had

that was there, that people endured, that people had to reckon with along with the
countless reasons that made It wonderful.
There were thousands of aspects just like these
too, though.
I had not yet said a solitary word to anyone,

felt like it, or back down again, or maybe over
to the east side if a stranger I was eyeing turned that way, and I could just stop when I
wanted, and shop, and eat at the hour I
chose.
Instinctively, I began heading downtown to
The Village of The City, but I decided to play a
walking game instead that diverted me right
through hour number five, when it led me into
an eating emporium and I found out suddenly
how hungry 1 was. In my game, I would eye
an individual walk out of a building or a subway hall, and I would follow that person until
they got to the next place on their city agenda.
I would then silently greet a new subject and
utter a low goodbye to my last leader. Randomly, I saw New Yorkers come, and I saw
t h e m , g o . I saw them meet appointments,
clean their clothes, satisfy their needs. I saw
them eat, I saw them buy, and I saw them go
home.
Near five o'clock, my last subject, a husky
American with a collar as blue as they come,
hustled Into a corner restaurant where he
bought a Post and left again. The place was
called Crete, a cheap, greasy New York City
eatery that could've been an insult to the
Island it feted, probably where the owner was
born long ago, maybe a place he yearns for
still.
I felt raw in the stomach, and my feet were
already asking for the weight to be put
somewhere else. 1 ate soup at the counter,
and coffee in a thick, thick, glass cup. My feet
slept on the ledge below the counter just off
the floor, and I read the newest Post (I believe
they put out a new one every hour or so),
while partially listening to the conversations of
Crete regulars, talkative and glad again just
because they got the hell out of work one
more time.
New York takes to darkness well, because it
becomes a different place. When I floated
away from Crete, it was already night. Neon
that was subllminally present all day suddenly
became a center of attention, and the Empire
State Building shot a beam of white light that
spanned the city.
At night, New York becomes a less natural
place, because all of the concrete and manmade things that fill It up and remain rather fitting just the same all day suddenly stand out,
flashing on and off, presenting conflicting light
against the sky's basic black. At night, New
York City becomes even more evident.
As a stranger in New York City with no
home to speak of, 'cept the ground below my
feet, I found shelter in bars and clubs. This was
where 1 could walk in and see a new stopping
place that usually welcomed me. 1 could iry
and meet people, I could fail and leave. Or I
coukTstay If things went that way. Bars were
home because wherever 1 was, I was only a
block away from home. So if it started to rain
(and it did), or if it was too cold (and
sometimes it was), or If the sign just seemed
like a light in the lightness, 1 went in.
I'm not much of a drinker, but I smoked a
lot of joints with a lot of strangers, and me and
New York got to know each other with and
without liquor and-or drugs, under sky and
bulbs and airs and first Impressions, and the
desire to make a few friends.
I walked down to the Village, and Into
Soho, where 1 shopped the chic stores thai sell
everything
save certain insaleable solids
There were new wave record shops thai wen
like honey to strange bees, with white make
up and dark eyes on their faces, bright red
lipstick, and black, tight pants. There were
punks with one hundred dollar Items that loolin make-up shops and try on every colored lip
gloss, all over their wanting faces, 1 stared at
faces In cafe windows, couples, gays, goons
girls, women. There was so much to stare at
down there, so many people to stare back al
you.
I breezed out of Soho. I had had two beers
there, in two small places. I had sat ai a bar,
put a quarter in the juke box. for two jaded,
flat selections, and walked.
It was near Tenth Avenue, somewhere
downtown, where 1 ran into the Ear, It was a
bar, but the B was partially painted so it
became an E. 1 met a woman at The Ear for
just a minute or so who kissed me before she
was leaving, so I sat down. There was white
wax paper all over the tables, and crayons in a
cup.
I took the hint and started drawing my
masterpiece to be left there for some waitress
to yank.off for a fresh piece for the artiste. I
drew New York City, realistically (?}, roughly,
with zeal. 1 chugged my brew, signed it in
some language, and walked.
I was feeling strange and alone now.
Everyone was going out now, with plans, with
someone, 1 felt unburdened but lonely. 1 was
worrying about the coming midnight, the impending dawn. I sat down with some strung
out black street bums who seemed hardly
older than me. They devoured a joint 1 gave
them as we talked, and I felt their hesitancy
slipping away to the taste of good weed and
my trusting smile. Now I felt even, on par with
everyone else: 1 was with friends, and I mas
doing something fine tonight.
I needed speed because I didn't want to
sleep. I needed to be awake, in a twenty-four
hour town where the ice of the night meant action, and I didn't want to miss any. The buddies 1 had brushed a goodbye to back on the
Library steps were in the past, except for the
information they had given me — speed,
street corner, name, look — in return for a
thick joint.
I approached the said subject cautiously, for
1 was white, non-Hispanic, and very possibly
an undercover officer of the law to these
fellows. I offered up tact and explicit instructions of what I was to say, and several dollars,
and 1 got speed, some of which I took right
away.
It was the heart of the night. My eyes were
to
city that was drifting. Partially
into sleep, or dreams, or sensuous love making after a night out, with fire engines screaming by to coincide with a mutual climax. I was
drifting through the drifting city, frequenting
less bars, taking my chances on the street.
I wanted It to get light out. but that wouldn't
happen yet. Even some of the neon was out
now, even it got tired and went to sleep. I
pressed on. stealing down blocks of east side,
recalling sights I remembered from that afternoon, ages ago. I walked by lonely Crete,
barely alive for all the hours in New York City's day. A new Post was on sale, new people
were buying it. Early morning workers were
downing coffee loaded with sugar, to wake
their muscles before going to gut New York City's garbage, or build New York City's
buildings, or maybe repair New York City
where it was hurting.
1 pressed o n . I wanted coffee, or tea, but I
didn't want to stop at the Crete. Going back
there would have made New York an enemy;
It would be a place I'd be using to gel away
from New York, familiarity amidst the
newness. Going back there would have been
unadventurous at this time of night, so I went
to a different place several blocks up: a carbon
copy that had a newer Post.
I sai there speed reading and drinking coffee
until just before the first glare of day's sunrise
was about to descend on Saturday in this city.
I walked the morning in by being there to see
it. I saw It completely. 1 saw the Empire State
Building end its beam, and I saw subway halls
start to spill INniy shoppers around to get the
best first. I saw the pigeons wake up and start
working again.
I found myself in Central Park, a natural
man-made wonder that lies in the heart of the
city, the eye of the storm, the peacefulncss
that I needed, to relax and enjoy as the
weather warmed a bit and glorious day got into full swing, a day that saw New York City
and myself a day older, a day more experienced. Hour number twenty-four was complete,
and 1 felt like I had seen the creation of light on
day one.
1 spent a lot of time in Central Park, sitting,
walking. 1 couldn't resist the steps of the library
again; human bonds, made even simply in the
heat of the night, were too strong. We sat on
the library tier, watching a crowded New York
take lively advantage of sweet weather.
Money was changing hands, and goods, and
words, and feet were heading Into mouths,
and other protruberances were going Into
other oraflces, because in New York,
everything is always going into everything, including cars into people and dogs, and other
cars.
Bloomingdales, and Korvettes. and Macy's
(The world's largest department store), and
Madison Square Garden, and McDonalds,
they all had me on Saturday, before the final
night, during the last full day,
The speed was worn off and 1 was feeling
pretty exhausted, and willing to abort,
unready to press on, It was the energy of the
knowledge of Saturday night, waiting for me,
like a myth to believe in, a source. I was
wondering if il would be repetitive, If New
York, the twenty-four place, wouldn't be able
The speed w a s w o r n off and I was feeling pretty exhausted,

to hold a willing victim for fifty. I wonderud
how my mind would take another ramble all
night on feet. Could I speed again, do 1 want
to? Could I sleep somewhere, do I need to?
1 . look out my wallet and eyed a nice
restaurant. The City was brimming with kitchens to sell food for any price. A nice meal,
alone. I thought, would energize me for Satur
day night, but so would a Big Mac. I ate dinner
at the Crete, familiarity after all. a compromise, a cheeseburger, coffee, ice cream
the new New York Post, and the blue collar
brigade. It was dark now In New York City
when I finished eating and (or sonic reason, I
didn't want to leave. 1 didn't waul to leave
Crete.
Il was even more crowded than the night
before. Bars were still home but I didn't want
to go home. 1 wanted to go in somewhere,
away from business, to a room with couches,
carpeting, a ceiling, and a drink without a
price on its head.
I had met many New Yorkers the night
before, but now I wanted one to take me
home. I was friendly but Icy last night and now
I was willing to warm up. 1 strolled around
Aves. and Sts. until my feet were ready to
strike, and I finally landed in a small spot in
The Village where I thought the natives might
be kinder, more willing to take a poor boy
home, hear his tales, and send him off with
breakfast and a hug the next morning:
I met Laurl. She was a plain looking New
Yorker, trusting, but wary, and I talked to her
for several hours at one table, and I would
have kept right on talking Until she was ready
to admit me to her world, o r a l least her apartment. She had been living in The Village of
New York for four years. She was twentythree.
had talked ourselves clean the night before.
Forty-eight hours after the 'F' train chauffeured me in, I was kissing Laurl goodbye with
an address in a lonely pocket. It was windy
and mean outside, but, aslired and used up as
I was. I had the means to bear it, For my final
act, I walked from the apartment straight up
S()lh Street, five miles in and out of the maze
the last atrocity niy feet would be subject to.
I walked up to Tin.' Park, and at two p.m.,
sat di )wn on a partially i iccupied bench, d< me,
victorious, an honorary New Yorker. A bum
next to me asked for change, and since we
were sharing a scat, I made him rich. I was
particularly vibrant as the wind whipped aged
Ppsts through the air violently, and hats flew
off pretty ladies' heads, ladies who had come
from church.
I arose with a goal: out, I insisted on walking
to .in 'F' train because I felt sentimental abon!
it. Like Crete, or That Empire State Place, or
The Post, or '-auri, or The Ear, or the bums
on the library steps, or that crack in the
sidewalk I had admired on some street during
one of the moments of my journey.
So New Yorl. was done, and an 'F' took me
under the East River into a comparatively
dreary Queens, where the street saw the city
as a scene, a distant mirage of imagery, reality
a river away.
I took a long hard look at that place, My
body was tired: that place was responsible. My
mind was filled, and that place took the blame
again. But what about /(? Had I changed that
conglomerate body, given any of its cells any
extra nourishment?
To be an individual in New York City seems.
hard, challenging. It's always willing to take
you in, but you will join millions, who make
you no more than a person at a desk, or a
figure on the street. And for every desk of
yours there are millions, and for every block of
sidewalk you are on there are millions. A n d
you decorate your apartment and buy your
own clothes but there are millions.
I didn't sleep In the same bed as Laurl, but
on her lovely couch, in her living room, in her
apartment, on Bleeker Street across from a big
supermarket that had pink neon screaming
The machinery of New York is living, grinPIONEER SUPERMARKET until the lights
went down. As It turned o u l , my eyes didn't ding real human gears to create an attempt at
shut off Laurl or New York until hours very harmony. Like the most complicated Interacnear Sunday morn, when 1 kissed Saturday tion imaginable, its network spans all that dare
night goodbye by whatever means were touch it. If i had any preconceptions about the
place, they were shattered. If I had any
available to all its citizens all around.
I dreamed about the Statue of Liberty, the dreams, they were strengthened, If I made a
Empire State Building, and the Trade Center, friend out of New York, it was a busy friend
and other big things, as people. People who just the same, with little time for me except as
had jobs like everyone else, a function in New a listener, a willing subject,
York City, For what would this place be
without these things? Ave they as vital as the
people: the lousy subway, the Post, Crete,
Laud's Image? F.verythlng in New York Is vital,
I dreamed.
We had a good time together, me and New
York, and we'll get together again. We'll meet
sometime on 14th Street, or at The Ear, to
share a tale or a drink, or maybe a tragico m i c moment that defines its heart.
Four hours to go. 1 spent half that time with
Laurl, eating breakfast and lunch over the
Sunday Times, chewing bagels and eggs while
sucking down coffee and penning The
Magazine's puzzle. We ate rather silently; we
1 shook hands with New York City and smiled. This was the end of my epic, and all
through Manhattan, a wicked wind swayed
trees and elderly women bending do\?n as little children ran through the legs o f the
mainstream.

: Gather* ng
a* the
Capital
There was a time when a basketball and a
schoolyard were enough to keep a kid from
Queens content. But then one day, I can't
remember exactly when, I must've grown up.
Suddenly my Interested In the rubber sphere
that said VOIT on It dwindled considerably. I
could still bear the day, but night time was too
much. I guess a famous fat man said It best, I
was "all revved up with no place to go." I
complained bitterly of boredom, but person
after person gave me the same response:
"How could you have nothing to do? You live
in the biggest city in the world." So on a summer day when the hum of middle class Fedders air conditioners was the only noise being
made In a dry and dull Bayside, I decided to
brave it. I had heard so much clamor about
"The City" and how excitement was handed
to you on a silver platter. So I got on the Q16
omnibus which stopped right in front of the
schoolyard, went to Flushing, and boarded
the F train.
As I said, I had heard a million tales of
Manhattan. My main interests at the time (I
was 16} were music and appearing "cool". So
the first place I deckled to go was Greenwich
Village. I hard heard about this record store
called Village Oldies and read about all sorts of
musical enaeavora* In a paper called The
Village Voice that I found on the door ol the
subway. There was Folk Clly, where Bob Zimmerman gigged every now and then. There
was .Jazz at Tuesdays, and good old rock n roll
at "OMFUG-CBGB's". I emerged from the
subterranean railroad and made my way to
Blcecker Si., where .Village Oldies was. I was
amazed at the a

bum sleeping on a bench. There were clowns
miming, and people roller skating with large
radios on their shoulders. "What a
kaleidoscope of life," I thought, purchasing a
Joint from a dredclocked Rasteman and bopping my head in time with a street musician. 1
watched until I felt I had taken it all In. Was this
it? Was this "The City"? There had to be more
so I decided to take a walk uptown. I,passed
the 8lh Street Playhouse, where some of the
rarest and best rock movies are shown. I saw
the Joseph Papp Theatre where you can see
the hits before they reach Broadway, and 1
walked down Christopher St. and saw a gay
guy wink at me.
To my dismay I found myself on Broadway,
I had gone west instead ol uptown. I made a
right and continued my stroll. I saw Sammy
Davis Jr. plop-plop-fizz-flzzlng away on the
side of a bus, and read a billboard that said
"Carleton es mas ba]o." 1 passed through the
garment district where men in suits bumped
into me and didn'l seem to notice. I saw black
men pushing carts wiih rows of dresses on
them.
Now by this lime it was beginning to grow
dark, and I had no Iritentions of spending any
of my nighl on the Infamous N.Y.C. subways.
But I was on ilStli St.. and there was no way I
was going home without a glimpse of 42nd St.
I had heard so much about how 42nd St. was
the epitome of sireet degeneracy. 1 saw
dealers, and a man selling little elephants for,
There was a
. jrtlslng "The
lid olher similar
M
neon deluge — "A Chorus Line, Broadway's!
Best Musical", "Yul Brenner In The King and
i". Now I knew where my parents went to
when they went to "the theatre". I followed
the signs all the way up to 54th St. and walked
towards 8th Ave. I saw a line of people waiting
outside a renovated movie theatre called
Studio 54. 1 watched in awe as limousines,
Mercedes, and other flashy cars dropped off
other flashy people. I here it was — the
longest running cocaine party in existence. 1
had heard about other good discos like New
York New York and Reglnes, and the Copa
Cabana, but the Studio was far and away the
No. 1 place.
Night was falling and 1 returned to Queens
to report on my journey. The next day I decid-.
ed to continue the venture. I went to Central
Park and saw a play In an amphitheater. I
walked through the zoo and saw another line
of people waiting to get into the Wolnian
Skating Rink where the Dr. Pepper music
festival was held every summer. Some people
on line were talking about other concerts they
had seen. I had heard about a small rock club
called The Bottom Line and a larger theatre
called The Palladium. Bowie was playing at
Radio City and I can't remember who was at
'where they sell the best hot dogs In the world
and had lunch.
1 walked back towards Central Park and saw
a hotel called The Plaza, where people dine In
a luxurious piano lounge and spend $7.00 for
two eggs. I walked down 5th Ave. and looked
in the windows of Cartler, Tiffany's, and
Rockefeller Center. 1 saw an advertisement for
Leonard Bernstein at Lincoln Center, and Arthur Feidler at Carnegie Hall, I was so crammed with ads and ideas that I found myself
dumbfounded.
But dumbfounded was a nice change from
boredom. I knew no matter how long I tried,
I'd never run out of things lo do. I welcomed
exhaustion, I was tired before one-half the day
was over. I had learned of an endless frontier
of experience, knowledge, and entertainment.
I felt like Columbus discovering the new
world, because as the saying goes, "If you
can't find it here, they probably don't make it."
There are rewards altached lo living in the big^jiist city In the world — you can develop the
broadest mind In the world. The only problem

check out the Planetarium instead. I saw a

The only way we can ensure the release o f
the hostages is to slop protecting the Shah.
Superpairioiism and war hysteria will not
help the hostages. The U.S. docs uol need to
prove it is not " s o l i . " We have tragically
" p r o v e d " that in Vietnam. Korea. Chile.
Greece, and in many oilier situations. When
Gerald Ford sent the Marines into Cambodia
to free Americans captured In t h e '
"Mayaguez Incident" more Americans were
killed than were captured in I he first place.

who is quoted wrongly'.1 Is that good reporting'! ASP, you arc a line paper but you have
some Haws. Why don'l you work on this one
for nest semester, You can quote me on that.
CORRECTLY!
What we need to prove to the world is that
American intervention in other nation's affairs and support of foreign dictators will
end. Only then will we avoid future hostage
tragedies.

It is very clear from the letters published in
this newspaper that many minds on ihis campus arc so clouded wilh their own ideals and
beliefs that the one and only issue at hand is
becoming grcally distorted. That issue is the
immediate and unconditional release of the
50 Americans that are unjustly, irresponsibly, and inhumanely being held hostage In
Iran. No other issue can be discussed,
debated, or defended until these 50
Americans are released. It is this violation of
international and basic human rights that has
united America. The cry for vengeance, lor
respect, and ultimately, for war, is not tillered lightly. Americans know the horror of
war. The memory o f Vietnam is ever present
on our minds, precluding the need to visit a
Veterans Administration hospital to see its
victims. However, there conies a time when
all diplomatic and peaceful means have failed. There comes a time when the burning o f
American Embassies, and the killing and kidnapping o f Americans in those embassies,
must end. There comes a time when one can
no longer turn the other cheek, for it has
been turned too often. If, unfortunately, no
other means but war will guarantee that the
rights of Americans will be protected, will be
respected, so be it. During the war for independence, one proudly displayed banner
read, " D o n ' t iread on m e . " The time has
come when all nations must learn to respect
that idea.

Last semester tax cards being honored.
To the Editor:
The ASP is a very fine college paper but,
like all, it has its faults. I believe that others
will agree with me in saying that the ASP has
been known to print misquotes. 1 understand
that the ASP wants to relay certain messages,
however, putting quotes around something
someone never said is very amateurish and
deceitful. A reporter has no righl to rearrange words in a statement and quote it.
Rearranging words can make the difference
between honesty and lying.
I am referring in particular to my quote in
the past December 7th issue of, "Where is
Power Bred — The Aspects 5 0 . " Alter seeing
the quote that was put next to my. name, I
wished I was never chosen. True, a quote saying, "Once the group chooses who tliey want
to hear, I have to sel up the whole t h i n g , "
may sound like a powerful statement, bu 1 I
do NOT do the whole thing, and I NEVER
said It, What I do is oversee the whole thing
(event). A word change like that lakes away
all die credit thai the group, and especially
the vice chairperson, deserve. Il makes a difference!
Now, I understand that the ASP iries to
present accurate quotes and stories, but is
their mistake lair to me'.' Is it fair to anyone
— Roberta I arkan
T o the Editor:
1 hove been on the faculty here for more
than ten years. While a student til a scry large
mid-West university 1 wrote for the daily student newspaper. I do mil read the ASP.,
However, your Idler sounded sincere so I'll
lake the time to write a sincere letter. I did
pick up a copy of the ASP last Fiidas lo sec
If, indeed, it had improved since my last encounter with it some years back. Il had uol.
So I'll go ahead with my note.
You said you had a desire lo do the " l i g l u
things" and become a "responsible publicat i o n . " Well, doing so is uol really using lo
see how many four letter words you can cram
into an issue. Before you label me a prude let
me say that I spent four years in the Murine
Corps. I've heard and used all of the words
and all of the combinations of words dial
your paper might come up with. I'lint doesn't
mean, however, thai 1 want litem llfnrslcd ai
tne in a publicaiion which may offend people
who read things in my office and in my
home.
You said you weren't aiming ai one group
o f people. You're wrong. I'd say you're aiming al the immature readers who gel a kick
out o f being able lo contribute or just read
the four letter words that Ihey won't find in a
"responsible" newspaper. There's an old axiom in journalism and in show business
which says that if the material has to he
" b l u e " and rely on lour letter words, I lien
the act is strictly second rate, tlow does the
ASP stand u p i o thai lest. 1 think you (and all
of the editors before you) base under-fated
the campus community. Most o f them seem
lo be able lo struggle through I he N. >'. Time,
and other legitimate newspapers without nisi
skimming and looking for I he compromise o f
obscenity. It appears that no ASP editors
have ever had the courage lo edit the letters
and articles which would fall fltu on their
face if they didn't create an interest by their
choice ol' words.
If you are as sincere as you say, give it a
try, You might end up with some credibility
after all.

An Irish Toast
I n the Editor:
Who be these Irish folk that do liner the
Podium sieps with their puddles of remorse
each parly night? How do they gel on campus, these Gaelic sots who would leave no poicni refreshments for the rest of us??? I sorely need a drinkydrink, but where is there a
bar stool without some Mickey O'Toole or
Molly Maguire perched upon il? I thirst for
justice and beer. We must harmonize our
parched throat-cries into a song o f indignation. Pop the Corkers! Dump die Dublincrs!

Last night, Albany went ahead
for good early on, and, in the second half. CSR never got closer
than 13, with the margin of victory
being the biggest Dane lead.
Five Albany players were in double figures in scoring (Hardy, Ray
Edwards and Glen Phillips-18,
Mike Gaincs-17, and Greg
Watson-12), For CSR, 6-8 center
Tony Franks netted 20, Mike Carrgol 17, and Ell Armstrong had 15.
Kopp cited strong rebounding
and fine bench play as keys to tlie
win. "We had more size," said
Albany's Mike Gatlo drives for basket in Dunes' 7(1-6.1 home victory Kopp. "If wc can gel the rebounds,
against Hnmillon Tuesday night.(IMiolo: Alan Ctilciu)
we can run well — and we goi the
rebounds." The running game was
important, at CSR was weary in the
final half. Offensive play improved
vastly from Tuesday's rusty performance, as Albany clicked for the
high score of the season.
T u e s d a y , sloppy
offense
characterized both sides, as an excessive amount of passes were either
thrown out of bounds or into the
arms of opponents. Four turnovers
were committed before the first 90
seconds ticked off the clock, and
there wasn't a bucket until albany
guard Greg Watson put one in from
close after 2:30. The Danes had
worked the lead up to 13 points
(24-11) with 7:00 remaining in the
first hald, but the Continentals ripped off a 10-0 spree in the next three
minutes, and oulscorcd Albany

three occasions, they almost gave
the ballgame away near the end as
Albany failed to hit on any of nine
one-on-one foul situations in the
final three minutes, enabling the
tenacious visitors to close the gap.
Albany head J.V. basketball
coach Steve Kopp cited several
reasons for his squad's sloppy play,
including the long layoff and the
fact that, in the four days of practice, the team was down to eight or
nine men due to health reasons and
was inable to run a full-court scrimmage. Nonetheless, he was pleased
with the game. "It's nice to get that
type of play out of our system,"
said Kopp.
Defense was the key, as a tight
Albany zone, although allowing
sharpshooting Hamilton guard Bob

The remainder of the game was
basically uneventful, as the teams
played inorc-or-less run and gun,
exchanging offensive foul-ups as
well as baskets. Albany goi the lead

Earl described this shortage of

Ram's Deep Men Face Test;
Must Stop Swann And Co.
LOS ANGELES (AP) "How do
you defend against Lynn Swann
arid a John Stallworth? Simple,"
says Dave Elmendorf. "You do it
with a Pat Thomas and a Rod
Perry." That may well be the most
critical matchup in Sunday's Super
Bowl game, with Thomas and
Perry, the Los Angeles Rams' cornerbacks, trying to muzzle the Pittsburgh Stcclcrs' terrifying tandem
of deep threats.
No other team has really been
able to stifle both wide receivers.
Double-covering one meant handing Pittsburgh quarterback Terry
Bradshaw an engraved invitation to
exploit the other.
"But no other team has two cornerbacks that are as capable as
o u r s , " Elmendorf, the Rams'
strong safety, said Wednesday
before the team began what Coach
Ray Malavasi described as its two
hardest days of workouts.
"When you've got guys who are
as capable as Rod and Pat and
you're matching them up against
Stallworth and Swann, you've got
two natural battles there — and I
think that in the past we've won the
battles," said Elmendorf, reflecting
on the Rams' 10-7 victory over.
Steelers during the 1978 season. In
that game, Pittsburgh's two wide
receivers were limited to just 69
yards on five receptions.
"We'll be up in their faces just
about all day," said Thomas, who
missed half the season with a knee
injury and returned as a starter in
the Rams' 9-0 shutout of Tampa
Bay in the National Conference
championship game.
Swann's biggest asset, Thomas
said, is his concentration. "The guy
can catch a needle in the dark — he
can catch anything," he said. "If
the ball hits his hands, he's got it.
That doesn't intimidate me at all —
but I think we can do a few things
to intimidate him . . . 1 think it's
my job to destroy the will of the
receiver. Swann is a man; he's
human. And you can destroy his
.will to catch the ball."
Spikers Look To Rebuild;
Team Hurt By Graduation
by Marc Ilnspel
As coach Ted Earl and the
Albany State men's volleyball team
look ahead to the upcoming season,
the squad's fate seems questionable. The loss of four graduated
seniors and other transfers has left
the present team with only a thin
nucleus of experience, and although
this year's squad is capable of surprises, Earl believes this season will
be essentially one of rebuilding
The 1979 Dane volleyball team
finished its season with a deceiving i
13-10 record, deceiving because six
of the ten losses was good enough
for a first place tie with Cornell in
Division III of the Eastern Collegiate Volleyball League. In the
tiebreaker with Cornell to determine which team would receive the
playoff spot, Albany lost in heartbreaking style, 16-14, 15-10 and
15-13. This match was to be the last
one played for graduating seniors
Andy Kinstler, John Shaw, John
Virgo and Kirk Andrews and a few
transfers who had to leave because
of financial and academic reasons.
Thus, only six of last year's starters
have returned this season: seniors

j Hamilton chipped away at the
Dane lead by employing a 1-3-1 trap,
defense which forced Albany into

made a tremendous block on a
Stanish drive, and Ron Evans1 two
foul shots cut the Albany lead to
64-59 with 1:40 remaining.
"1 was disappointed thai we let
thai nice lead get away," said
Sauers. "Pari of ii was due to
smarl, aggressive play by Hamilton,
but we didn't handle their pressure \
as well as 1 thought we would."
"I don'l think we played very
well," added Hamilton coach Tom
Murphy. "We had loo many turnovers. I think when I look at the
charts I'll be sick. livery lime wi
needed a basket we turned the ball
over. But we came back in the last
two and one half minutes of the
game, and that was encouraging."
Aflcr a timeout with 1:29 left, the
Danes pul Hamilton out of reach,
as Royal's halfcourl pass found
Stanish alone for a lay up, Jones
scored on his jam, and Jednak and
Stanish hit free throws, Evans' uncontested basket at the buzzer made
ihe final score appear closer than
the contest actually was.
"We arc a young team, and we
will be better," Murphy commented. "But it would have been
nice to gel a win over a good club,
and these guys are a good club."
With seven underclassmen on
their rosier, Hamilton is a team of
the future, while Ihe Danes, off to
their finest starl in Albany history,
are looking forward to the present.
And Jones, who received a standing
ovation after his dunk and again
when he. was taken out with six
seconds left, is also off to his best
start, and was visibly pleased with
his stirring shot. "I've never seen
the crowd act that way before," he
said.

game, and then back into a close

Potsdam Nips Danes; Hamilton Falls
Jones'Dunk Stirs
Albany Beaten In
Overtime Thriller
Enthusiastic Crowd
by Paul Schwartz
Even the build-up could not compare to the 45 minutes of tense,
dramatic basketball displayed at
Albany's
University Gym last
night. The two top ranked Division
III teams in the stale, number one
Potsdam vs. number two Albany,
squared off in a battle for eastern
supremacy. At the final buzzer,
Potsdam remained on top, but just
barely, edging the Danes 70-68 in
overtime.
Potsdam, the third ranked Division III team in the nation, improved their unblemished record to 11-0,
and overcame the jinx that
Albany's home court had on them.
In gaining their first-ever victory in
University Gym, the Bears also
broke the Danes I'Jgame home winning streak, handed Albany their
first KUNYAC loss of the season,
and dropped the Danes record to
10-2.
"We were fortunate to win,"
said Potsdam coach Jerry Welsh.
"We were also fortunate lo only be
three points down at the half,
because Albany c o m p l e t e l y
outplayed us. Albany's got a great
team and a great coach, and it's
tought to beat them anywhere— on
their court or ours. It was an important win for us."
Rob Clunc's two free throws with
1:17 remaining in regulation gave
the Danes a 66-64 lead, but Scott
Franko's . short jumper just 12
seconds later, brought Potsdam
even. A'hany held for the last shot,
but Chine's side jumpshot with four
seconds left was short, and bounced
just off the rim.
Potsdam's Derrick Rowland
fouled Dane center Kelvin Jones
with four minutes left in the overtime period, and Jones connected
on two pressure-packed free throws
to give Albany a 68-66 lead.
Rowland's one handed dunk tied
the score at 68-68, and the Danes
took control with 3:30 remaining.
Albany coach Dick Saucrs instructed his squad to stall for the
last shot, but after running all but
13 seconds off the clock, Dane forward Pete Slanish drove to the
basket, was fouled, and stepped to
the foul line. Stanish missed the free
throw, though, and Potsdam hurried the ball upcourt. With four
seconds left, Bear forward Maurice
Woods connected on a short
juniper to give Potsdam the lead,
70-68. After two Albany time outs,
Stanish's inbounds pass was stolen
by guard Ed Jachim, and the
Potsdam eclcbratfon began.
"We had our chance," Sauers
said. "If we hit that last shot in
regulation, we win the game. Chine
got a good shot off. In overtime, we
were trying to play for the last shot.
Stanish made his move .too soon.
Dm I'm not displeased with our effort. It was as good a basketball
game as you could see."
Woods and Rowland shared high
scoring honors with 22 points each,
while Dane guard Winston Royal
liii tin IK points, 14 in the first half.

Albany Tops In Capital District
in the past, the scheduled game!
over the holiday break have not
always been the kindest of friends
to the Danes. But this season, the
Albany Stale basketball team met
with nothing but success, starting
off the new decade by winning the
Capital District Tournament, and
then defeating RPI. The three victories boosted the suprising Danes
record to 9-1, their best start since
1958.
With a number of changes from
last year's squad, Albany basketball
coach Dick Saucrs figured his team
would need lime lo gel together.
This has not been necessary,
though, and even Sauers did not expect such a quick start.
"I'm very surprised," Sauers
said, "I looked al our schedule —
at the teams we had to play, and 1
couldn't see how we would be 9-1 at
this point. But this team has surprised me, and they are still surprising me. Actually, in our first ten
games, we didn't have a gpod
shouting night once. Din we've
shown poise, expecially al the end
of games,"
Albany successfully defended
their Capital District title by
edging Union on January 5th,
57-55 and downing Tufts 82-71..
The first round matchup turned out
to be a traditional Albany-Union
game — close, low scoring, and aggressive defense by both teams. The
Danes managed to take a 35-33 lead
at halflime, despite losing center
Kelvin Jones, who got Into immediate foul trouble and eventually
fouled out early in the second half.
Guard Winston Royal paced the
Danes with 16 points and five
assists, and forward Pete Slanish
came of the bench to hii all five of
his shots and contributed 13 points.
Both Albany players were selected
by Paul Schwartz
When he caught the ball in his
own backcourt, Kelvin Jones knew
what was about to happen. "It's
what I was thinking about," he said
afterwards. "When 1 looked up and
saw the basket at the other end, the
only think I thought of was throwing it down."
One other person in University
Gym Tuesday night 'also sensed
what was soon to occur. "1 knew
what was on his mind," said Dick
Saucrs, Albany's head basketball
coach. "1 could see it in his eyes —
there was such intensity in his
eyes."
Hamilton pud all but erased a 12
point Dane lead, and was trailing
66-62 when Jones began dribbling
across midcourt. At 6-6, 215 lbs.,
the Albany center charged upcourt
with 31 seconds left, soared over the
Continentals 6-3 Keith Whelan, and
let go a resounding, two-handed
slam dunk, bringing the large crowd
to their feet. Whelan even fouled
Jones on the play, but the excited
Dane missed the free throw. Albany
managed to hold on though, and
turned back Hamilton, 70-68.
"There's been a lot of pressure
on me from my teammates to throw
one down," said Jones. "It's such a
gamebrcaker."
The Danes almost broke the
game open way before Jones did.
After leading 28-25 at halftime,
Albany took control of the contest
in the second half, and ironically,
Ihey did it without Jones, who picked up his fourth foul with 14:50 remaining, and sat out for 8:23 as the
Danes boosted their lead to ten
points. Forward Steve Low replaced Jones, and did a credible job
containing Hamilton's leading
scorer, 6-6 center Kevin Grimmer,
who also was forced to sit for two
minutes with four fouls. Grimmer
finished with 25 points on 11 of 13
shooting, but many of his baskets
came on follow ups and offensive
rebounds.
After a short jumper by Charles
Robinson brought the Continentals
to within 42-40, Pete Stanish and
Ray Cesare combined lo lead the
Danes lo an 18-8 spurt and a 60-48
advantage. Before the game, Saucrs
opted to start Slanish in place of
Cesare, and Ihe move seemed to explain itself vividly in the first half,
as Stanish's strong drives to the
basket resulted in six of his 13 total
points. Cesare, however, struggled
through a scoreless 30 minutes in
which he missed an ahead-of-thefield fast break layup.
The Albany streak began with
Joe Jednak's side jumpshot, and
then Stanish and Cesare went to
work. Slanish plowed through the
Hnmilioii defense for one baskei
and leaped to convert Ccsarc's
perfect lob pass into two Albany
points. Cesare, still scoreless alter

all of his 12 points in the next four
minutes on two drives, two

half, but Albany fell behind once,
the second half began, and trailed
49-40 with 11:50 remaining in the
game. That's when the Danes got
offensive help from an unexpected
source — reserve guard Bob Collier. A long Collier jump shot
brought Albany within three points,
and then after another 18 foot
jumper, Collier's basket gave the
Danes the lead, 58-57, with 7:14
left. Royal's steal and layup and
Jones' hoop gave the Danes a fourpoint cushion, and a late surge gave
Albany an 11 point victory.
"It was very satisfying to win the

Reflecting both normal sWings and special expen
diture ceilings, State University's expenditures are sub
st-antially below appropriated levels. For example,
despite'an authorised level of 34,500 positions, the
University actually has only 31,800 filled"positions. The
negative lump sum that reduced SUNY's positions by
1,125 and appropriations by a gross total of ?12.3 million
serves to bring the gap between authorizations and expenditures to a more realistic level.
Allocation of the position and appropriation reduction
will be primarily the responsibility of the Trustees of the
State University, who will prepare and submit an
allocation plan to the Division of the Budget.
The personnel portion of the reduction, a total of
approximately S9.7 million, is actually a net amount
which reflects the fiscal effect of abolishing 1,125
positions, offset by significant savings relief. A substantial portion of this relief will be allocated to Stony Brook
to permit the phased opening of the University Hospital.
