DAY
Stun Ithaca 111-94
by Lea Zuckerman
The American drama had its
rebirth Saturday as Doc Sauers unveiled his newest production at University Gym. The play is called
"Forty-Two Seconds and Counting".
Sauers, an award-winning director, has written his finest script to
date with this entry. The action
revolves around the same group of
actors that he has used in previous
works. The collective performances
of the actors is impressive but individual credits are forthcoming.
The play is divided into two acts
and an epilogue. The first act is the
depressing tale of the home team unable to play fundamental basketball.
The defense is shoddy as they are
outrebounded 2S-L4. The Danes
(which Sauers calls this home team)
leave the floor with a six point deficit
to their name.
The first act brings to the stage a
rapidly maturing talent named Tom
Morphis. He is a bright spot in the
poor team showing. Morphis shoots
6-8 from the field for fifteen points,
Sauers has uncovered a natural
talent in Morphis; his actions are
aided by crowd applause. ,
Ed Johnson, the consistent star,

shoots 3-10 for only eight points.
The electrifying performance by
Johnson is saved for the climax of
the play. '.
Rich Kapner was injured onstage
durin the first act. His part was
played by the understudy as he was
unable to continue.
Act Two began with little change
for the Danes. The opposing team
(named Ithaca, presumably significant of Grecian tradition) builds a
64-44 lead with 11:55 remaining on
the omnipotent score clock high
above the stage.
The action is heightened at this
point as the home squad rallies for a
25-14 exchange in the span of eight
minutes. The Ithaca lead is nine
points with 3:25 left in the second
act. During the Dane spurt, there are
memorable performances by Kevin
Keane and MikeSuprunowicz.Thcy
hit six and seven points respectively.
Sauers has effectively set the atmosphere for the remaining
moments. The audience however,
becomes restless (as does this unsuspecting witness). The spectators
came tonigh'. to watch a comedy, not
a tragedy, the aura of doom lies over
the arena as the Greek opponents
check the Dane comeback. With
forty-two seconds remaining, the
score is 86-77, the Hellenic forces
safely ahead. It is now that Sauers
unleashes his trump card—Ed Johnson.
Ed Johnson is the star in Sauers'
cast for the premier performance of
this play. This is only Ed's second
year as part of Sauers' company but
he steals the show each time he is
called upon.
Sauers carefully unleashed his
finale. Gary Trevitt hits a shot to bring the Danes to within seven with
thirty-four seconds left. A quick
travelling violation gives the ball
back to the Danes.
Ed Johnson takes the ball and
drives past Achilles and Hector to
lay the ball safely into the basket. A
foul is added on and the Danes trail
86-82 with nineteen precious seconds
remaining.
Johnson, the protagonist, commits a back court foul and the free
throws raise the Ithaca lead to six.
However, the ball is returned to
Johnson who hits a short jumper
with nine seconds left. Now Sauers
can taunt his audience as he sees fit.
Ithaca is unable to find an opening
on the inbounds pass so they call
ti me out with a scant five seconds left
on the clock .
Doc Sauers now gives the
audience a startling soliloquy in
which Ed Johnson asks everyone to
believe. Ithaca's pass is thrown and a
whistle is blown. "Offensive foul
thirty-fiveblue"is the call. This line
will become a classic for theatergoers
everywhere.
The clock reads four seconds, the
players claiming it should be five
because of non-possession. In the
fracas, we see Mike Suprunowiczat
the foul line. Mike hits two perfect
charity attempts to bring the score to
88-86, again only four seconds on the
clock.
Ithaca again has trouble with the
pass and is called for travelling with
three seconds remaining. The climax
of Sauers' instant classic script is
about to materialize.
The Danes line four warriors in

performance leads a Dane surge of

Johnson would have this part in the
play? Sauers has a superb talent in
Johnson and the script emphasizes

Sauers' brought delight to the
audience that ventured to watch his
newest literary effort. Due to thespontaneous nature of the story, it is
doubtful that Sauers will offer a
return showing. Instead, he brings
another untried script to the gym on
Tuesday. The author tells us that it
involves his acting company in
search of conquest against a foe
named Geneseo. The performance
begins at 8:30.1 recommend that you

Sauers has proven himself a master
of entertainment. With Ed Johnson
in his cast he can never go wrong.

Sports Funding By SA Questioned
by Bell) Stein
Early last December. SASU
decided that Student Associations of
the SUNY system should not continue to assume as much of the
responsibility for funding intercollegiate athletics as they have ill
the pasi. According to Ira Bimbauin. Student Association VicePresident, a resolution was passed
urging all SUNY schools lo
withdraw from the NCAA until an
exception is made lo the rule which
requires that athletic advisory
hoards be under institutional control.
"SUNY's position is unique", said
Birnbaum, "in that their competitive
athletics programs are funded entirely by student tax money." Birnbaum
continued, saying "our policy has
always been that control over money
raised by students should remain
with students."
Such a resolution, il put into
effect, would make il necessary lor
the University lo consider assuming
a larger part ol Ibe financial burden
for intercollegiate athletics if the
program were lo be maintained at its
present level.
Two-Way Proposition
Physical Education Director, Joe
Garcia, when asked how he felt
abciui University funding of athletics
as opposed to sliidenl funding,
replied; "lean foresee no way for the
stale lo subsidize the program in ils
entirety. Il just has lo he a two-way
proposition." Speaking in reference
to financial contributions thai Student Association has made to the
athletic program, Garcia said, "they
have been just tremendous as fur as
funding is concerned, and I feel
we've given them back a darn good
investment."
This issue of the extent to which
the student body should be expeeled
to fund competitive athletics was
raised in a different form by Ditvid
Coyne. At a recent Central Council
Meeting. Coyne introduced a bill
that, had it been passed, would have
lowered the food allowance for
athletes on away trips from eight
dollars to five dollars per day. This
would have piu their food allowance
on par with that of other students
who make trips as representatives of
the school (i.e. SASU delegates). At
present, they receive only live dollars
per day.
Coyne claims thai the bill, which
was defeated 8-10-6. besides making
the situation more equitable, would
have involved a savings ol $7,000 per
year. In his estimation, its defeat is
bul another reflection of the "very
specific different treatment" accorded lo athletes by the Central
Council.
Unique Relationship
The nature of what Coyne refers
to as special treatment may be traced
lo the unique relationship between
the intercollegiate athletics program
and Student Association. Because
Ibe slate provides funds only for a
limited physical education program,
competilivcuthlelics require funding
from some other source. This other
source is student taxes.
Officially, the slate views physical
education as being on the same basis
as all other academic programs.
While it endorses intercollegiate
athletics and does provide funds for
a gymnasium and for personnel, it
prohibits the use of these funds for
athletic scholarships of any sort.
However, official policy does stale
thai any revenues from facultystudent associations or student taxes
may be used lo subsidize athletic
programs.
As far back as l')52, the Student
Association, initialed a largely

Approximately 7IKI athletes and

SUNYA Committee Against
New Structures Needed Saw Dr. May
by Doug Horwitz
In front of a large Schenectady
Freedom Forum audience last Monday night, the renowned psychotherapist. Dr. Rollo May, spoke
of the necessity for individuals to
reexamine the "spiritual foundations
of our society" which he claimed are
in desperate need of change.
Recovering from the flu, May
hoarsely remarked, "We now are at
the point where we are in a period of
reformation." Continuing, he stressed that it is our responsibility to dis- .
cover new structures upon which to
base our society and his, he added,
doesn't mean patching up the
problems of our present system.
In order for man to build a better
social structure, Dr. May, who holds
a Ph.D in clinical psychology, insists
that we have courage. May stressed
that courage is essential for it gives
man the impetus "to move ahead in
spite of our despair", adding that it
"gives' reality to our virtues and
values."
Dr. May, the author of several
best-sellers, said that our
deteriorating society can not be
rebuilt through rational and conscious thought alone. According to
the practicing psychotherapist, in
order to establish a new societal
framework, man will have to use his
creative abilities.
May believes that creativity is
brought forth when man deals with
the notion of death, his inevitable
end. "We must struggle to face
death," May remarked, and as a
result we "try to create something
that will live beyond us." Thus, May
continued, "Creativity is a yearning
for immortality." When we do finally create something that will provide

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) State Comptroller Arthur Levitt, a long-time critic
of "back-door financing" of government operations, proposed Thursday
light restrictions on the ability of public authorities to obligate the stale lo
pay their debts.
Levitt submitted to the governor and leaders of the legislature bills
designed to stop some public authorities and limit others from entering into
debts which the state has a "moral commitment" to guarantee.
The proposed legislation was unveiled one day after Gov. Hugh Carey
established a special commission to investigate the method used h>
authorities, such as the financially troubled Urban Development
Corporation, to finance public-benefit projects.
The comptroller has long argued that the broad powers of the state's
multibillion dollar authorities to sell bonds to finance projects skirts the
constitutional requirement that voters approve debts incurred by the slate
Levitt would remove the moral commitment of the state to support bonds
issued by seven authorities. The authorities in question have yet to incur any

Subjective Interviews Plague RA Selections
by Naomi Friedlaadn
"I walked in and I was really shaking. 1 mean it; I was so nervous that
my palms were sweating and I could
hardly talk."
This was how Tom Castcllano, a
sophomore at S.U.N.Y. at Albany,
described his anxiety concerning his
first interview for the position of
Resident Assistant on State Quad.
Castcllano, like many of the app r o x i m a t e l y five hundred
sophomores and juniors competing
for the select "R. A." post, blamed his
fears on the subjective interviews
which characterize the application
procedure.
This process, initiated after a mandatory campus-wide interest
meeting held each November for
prospective R.A.'s, terminated the
following Srping. In early March,
each applicant receives either a fat
letter, signifying acceptance, or athin
note of refusal. During the four intervening months, the applicants,
the present R.A.'s, and the Quad
Directors, undergo a rigorous series
of individual quad meetings and interviews leading to the R.A. selection.
Besides receiving written
evaluations from his current R.A. as
well as from his Residence Hall
Director, each applicant must attend
three, hour-long individual interviews. The first, an attempted informal conversation between two
students and the applicant, is an
endeavor to get to know the candidate and discern his ideas, feelings,
and conception of the post. Following this is an applicant-structured
interview, a meeting between a staff
director, a current R.A.. and the
applicant in which each candidate
chooses his preferred topic and setting. Finally, a director and candidate meet for a general evaluation
ol the process and for a discussion of
the student's chance of securing the
job.
By last week, only the initial interviews had been completed, but both
the applicants and the staff members
had already developed and
crystallized their opinions of the
selection process. "If you have a bad
day or have a personality conflict
with an interviewer, you might spoil
your chances. It's so arbitrary."
Castellano complained. Nancy

An estimated 5000 small pyramidlike objects. Irom seven to thirteen

protruding upward on the sands of
the Mojave Desert. Many nearby
residents suspected that "Hying
saucers" were behind ihe incident.
However, a .11-year-old Los
Angeles artist reported this week
that the teeth were merely his works
of art. Bonn Jones said he placed
what he calls ceramic candles on the
desert to dry. where they were discovered by puzzled travelers.

sophomore candidate agreed, saying, "No one can expect to know
whether you'll make a good R.A.
after talking to you for an hour."
Current R.A.'s agreed with these
charges. "I hate interviewing because
I hate beingput into a position where
I have to evaluate people," admitted
David Taffct, a senior R.A. "I can
give my impressions ofa person after
an hour, but I am never sure what
kind of R.A.'s they would make."
Bob Lew, a junior who is a current
assistant, affirmed this feeling of uncertainty. "You are evaluating a person in an hour's time who is going to
deal with 120 people within a year. It
is possible to completely snow a person in an interview so how do I know
what a person is really like, much less
whether they'd make a good R.A.7"
Though complaints mirroring
these are profuse, hundreds of
students continue to undergo the
process in the hope they will obtain
the job. The post, designed as a
linkage between students and theadministration, consists of dealing with
student dormitory problems as well
as working with the professional
residence staff. These duties, often
tedious, clerical matters, entail long
hours manning a desk orfillingout
forms. But both current R.A.'s and
prospective ones stillfindthe job attractive and desirable.
Remuneration for R.A.'s consists
of a free single room in a dormitory
and free local phone service. A token
stipend is also frequently given but
this is never guaranteed. This salary,
far less than what a student would
receive for working similar hours at
a part-time job, is minimal. "The
R.A.'s are grossly underpaid," Judy
Condo, Quad Coordinator forState
Quad, affirmed. "But the job
remains quite popular."
Ms. Condo and Sally Borner, a
Resident Director, listed several attributes of the post. "Because of inflation, many students are paying for
school by themselves and they often
prefer having a free room to working
at an off-campus job." Condo stated.
"And by lie time a student is a junior
or a senior and is involved with
someone, they want a single where
they can entertain in private,"
Borner suggested.
Candidates agreed that the free,
single room was an important factor
in their applying for the R.A. posi-
tion but they agreed that there were
other characteristics that were equally important. "It'sabigchallenge. At
the end of the year, if I feel that I
made it a more pleasant stay and
people came up and told me that, I'd
be really happy," Castellano explained. Bob Field (fictitious), a
sophomore applying lor an R.A.
position on State Quad, hopes "to
get the satisfaction of moldinga really close-knit group." Other candidates voiced similar desires.
"There is a kind of aura around an

a lot of people. It's just being part of
a team," Castellano stated. Both
applicants and current R.A.'s.aware
of this quality attached to the position, commented onit. "Youhavean
opportunity to meet a lot of people
and get involved more than most
students can," David Taffet pointed
out. The candidates questioned
agreed that the popularity most
R:A.'s seem to possess largely contributed to their decisions to apply
for the post.
Despite the grueling interview
process, many studentsarewillingto
try to attain the R.A. job. Agreeing
that the interview procedure may be
unfair and students are often hired
who make poor R.A.'s, Condo insisted that. "The subjective interview
seems the most effective way. If this
was an administrative post, we could
give a quiz or a test to see whether
you know all the rules. But it's not
and only through some informal
contact can we ascertain whether a
student can relate to people."

SA Sports Funding Questioned
continued from page one
The disposal of his bill proposing a
decrease in food allowance for
athletes coincided almost exactly
with the filing of a petition for his
removal from Council. This petition,
presented to Fidler by Councilmembers Gary Bennett and Gary
Cooke, both AAB representatives,
questioned his legal right to sit on
Council now that he is living offcampus.
Coyne, who moved off campus
over intersession, resigned from
Council several weeks ago, pending
replacement. He feels that, legally
their position is justified. However,
what he does not feel is justified is the
fact that it took a political activity on
his part to arouse their interest in the
legality of his sitting on Council: "i
think they were right in removing
me, but I think that their motivation
was wrong".
Coyne does not seem to enjoy a
harmonious relationship with those
members of Central Council who are
connected with AAB. Councilman
Lew Barr.aformermemberof AAB,
expressed his feelings about Coyne
in th is manner, "I've been on Council
for three years, and Dave hasalmost
an obsession against athletics."
Barr called Coyne's bill
"unreasonable" and insisted instead
that the meal allottment for athletes
should be raised. The fact that this
would make the amount even more
disproportionate did not seem to be
a valid issue to Barr, who explained
that "it's a question of simple
physics. You can't run on an empty
tank, and athletes obviously burn up
a lot more than you and I do in a normal day".
Not everyone follows that same
line of reasoning. Finance Committee Chairperson Ken Wax, commenting on the same issue, said
"We're all students and we all eat the
same," adding, "they're not special
people". In his view,fivedollars per
day is sufficient for anyone. When
the question of increasing the
athletic food allowance was raised.
Wax scoffed, saying that our AAB
budget is already ridiculous compared to other schools.
Someone who does share Barr't
overall view is AAB member Gary
Cooke, who said, referring to the
food allowances now given to other
students, "I'd like to see the allottment remain the same." He added
that, in many instances, it is possible
for these students to eat in other
school's cafeterias. He did not,
however, feel that the eight dollars
now alloted to athletes was sufficient. According to Cooke, "AAB
would rather see athletes...cat good
meals".
Interestingly enough, Varsity
basketball coach Doc Saucrs and
Athletic Director Joe Garcia take a
somewhat different view. In their
opinion, food allottments for
athletes should be equal to that of
other students. Garcia maintains
that, "if the students are representing
the University, the dollar should be
equal". That is, provided that the
present allottment is raised.
More central than the caloric intake of athletes versus that of nonathletes lie much more basic issues
concerning how much money the
Univeristy should expect students to
contribute to competitive athletics.

Dean for Student Affairs, claims
that the proportional amountof University funds that go toward
athletics is not predetermined by the
state. According to Bristow, "the
determination of how much state
funding is given to University
athletics is made in the context of the
total funds". He noted that, ultimately, the decision lies in the hand
of the individual school and is made
according to how important intercollegiate athletics is to that particulat school, as opposed to how
much they are willing to cut back in
other areas.
However, school administration
officials arc not the only ones faced
with dccisionsconccrning how much
revenue should be allotted to competitive athletics. The student body
must also make such a decision;
Should we, in the face of what Coyne
refers to as "the present fiscal crisis",
question the continued flow of student tax dollars into intercollegiate
athletics at the present level, or is the
program, as Joe Garcia views it,

students and faculty members, as

In the midst of the budget crunch, organized athletics is taking it firmly on the chin.
In San Francisco! the city's board of education has abandoned intramural and interscholastic sports in an effort to achieve a precarious balance of its funds. As is apparent from the outburst following that decision, it is not a popular one. Mayor Alioto
has promised to find the funds to reinstate the athletic programs, while high school
students threaten a general boycott of classes if the funds are not found.
The situation with respect to intercollegiate athletics in New York State is complex
and Albany State reflects that complexity in its own contusing style. While Central
Council defeated a proposal that would effectively reduce funding to the enormous
Athletic Advisory Board, (the group which officially controls varsity sports on thie
campus), a SASU resolution has called on all SUNY campuses to reduce its level of
funding to varsity sports, and to withdraw from the NCAA until that national
organization permits SUNY to put its athletics under student control. Presently,
NCAA rules require that the University control athletics, while student tax pays the
overwhelming share of varsity sports funds.
The AAB has gone Unquestioned for years, and the attempt by Council members like
Dave Coyne to put the AAB under wary student scrutiny is long overdue. The vitality
of varsity sports to a university community, especially to one as large as Albany's
however, is yet more important than the need to bring the giant under some sort of
restriction. Certainly the SASU answer to cut back or drop out of the NCAA solves
nothing. A pull-out removes all the remaining options which SUNY might have, and
thus we lose all force in bargaining for our goal. Cutting back on athletics merely skirts
the issue and delays an inevitable conflict between those who feel the university is solely
for academics and those who associate sports with emotions such as school spirit and
self motivation.
Organized athletics, both on the intramural and intercollegiate levels, are far too
important to the smooth running of a college campus to allow it to suffer an illconceived plan to return it to the control of the students who pay for it.

Faculty-Student Association is a multi-million dollar corporation and as such is a
bit complicated for a group of students, professors, and administrators to analyze. Yet,
this is exactly what such a group, the FSA Board of Directors, is going to have to do.
FSA Director E. Norbert Zahm is in the unique position of being the only person to
have the training and capacity to understand a six million dollar corporation budget.

Wailsfield is a small ski village located in
Vermont, nestled in a vast snow bowl within a
ten mile radius of three skiing areas:
Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, and Glen Elen.
From the endless branching Wailsfield roads,
one can catch a glimpse of the skiing terrain
which is sheltered by the overflowing forest.
Small shopping areas, restaurants, lodges, and
pubs, as well as a host of night entertainment
contribute to Ihe superbly comfortable rustic
atmosphere. The cabin which my group of
friends and I occupied provided everything
imaginable for our convenience, that is. when
certain members of the group could find their
way back.
A group ol thirteen struck out in four
separate cars lor Ihe hills of Vermont, in early
January, where picturesque mixes of forest
and streams and acres of downhill skiing run
smooth and continuous, Ihe circumstances of
the departure were quite auspicious, almost
spine-tingling, for we were all quite anxious to
hit the slopes. Each group was given a map
upon departure from the Albany area, which
s o m e w h e r e along Big' Dear Road in
Wailsfield. was thrown out of car windows.
I he driver of the ear that I was a passenger in,
relieved us of ours afler having traversed the
same lew roads along the Vermont hills a half
dozen limes, lor the turns indicated on the
map were directing us lo the wrong side of the
road. A Mr. Fine was responsible partially for
the directions, yet upon our arrival at the
cabin, w e found thai he had already been
dismembered hy other group travellers.
We were most honored during this snow
vacation lo have in our midst, a personage of
infamous stature, a Duke. The Duke's zeal
was unusual in thai he constantly fell asleep in
the car and never failed to give the wrong
directions. Upon awakening one lime from an
hour snooze and having been asked which way
the driver should turn, he austerely replied,
"Left." Of course, the party was to become
hopelessly lost. Also among the entourage of
skiers were three rough speaking, "osfidious"
characters, known as the Dakotas. who
enjoyed a hearty game of blood poker, and
were moved lo moments of timidity al the
telling of bedtime stories. The majority of the
people in the group were beginning skiers,
thoughJeun-Claude was an expert with twelve
years of experience.
While others went drinking the night of our
arrival, a buddy and I wenl for a brisk walk
along the bouncy access roads and trails that
thread through the spruce and hardwood,
posing an isolated charm. I was still reflecting
upon the crystal clear sky of the night before
while we were loading our gear the next
morning, in the hope of reaching Glen Elen
early enough lo enjoy a full day of skiing.
Upon our arrival at the ski area, the
beginners' hill became a plethora of virgins on
the slopes. All beginning skiers have the
inborn fear of falling down the ski slopes, so it
is natural for them to lean in toward the
mountain. This movement places the skier's
weight on the uphill ski, enabling the skier to
maintain a line across the hill without
sideslipping down the slope. This is a fairly
comfortable approach, but it becomes a little
tricky when il comes time to navigate a turn
without cruising on one's face. It is necessary
to use Ihe uphill ski to hold the line as Ihe skier
is going into the turn, for he or she must
prepare lo push off with the downhill ski in
order to start the weight transfer and edge
change which is a necessity for each turn.
Therefore, the weight is always transferred on
the downhill ski when angling into a turn, for
Ihe downhill ski and knee are used for balance,
acceleration and direction.
1 was in Ihe habit of coming down slopes
straight, without making many turns and
gaining an in crediblea mount of speed. Ispent
most ol my lime perfecting turns on the novice
slope, for this is not only a dangerous habit;
(the skier does not have a great amount of
control over himself), it is also quite a sloppy
practice. S o this was the season lo develop a
little skill. Ihe warm-up exercises which I had
done for the previous months, which ranged
from sil-ups, stretching movements, and
bending, served to develop my flexibility and
loosened my muscles. This is beneficial for
another reason, for it can lessen the severity of
an injury if one does occur.
Snow cats arc those monster pieces of
machinery that all skiers must contend with,
though beginners have the most difficulty
getting out of its plodding path. These cats
groom the slopes afler snow has fallen or
artificial snow has been made. Moguls, by the
way, are bumps in the snow caused by skiers
turning in the same place. Jean-Claude told
me that these bumps arc also made from old
sk iers who were plowed over by the giant snow
redeemer, the snow cat.
Ihe poet Robert Frost once said."Some say
the earth will end in fire/some say in ice "
After skiing al Glen Elen, 1 feel that the latter
will probably be true, for the landscape was
etched by flowing ice in certain places,
sometimes encouraging one's skis to work
independently of the skier. But snow or ice, I
felt myself gliding across a wondrous glittering
space. The only sound I heard was that of my
skis and poles.
At the end of an exhilarating day of
propelling ourselves down the slopes and
turning our skis in the valleys between the
moguls, attempting to maintain its track while
carving in the bumps, wc returned to the
cabin's crackling fire for warmth. What
ensued was not only a game of the ancient
"twister." which was complicated when the
spinner made the additions of various areas of
the body, but also a word game utilizing the
words: ZOOM . S C H W A R T Z , F1GLIANO
and SPLIV1CH, the latter being accompanied
by a raised elbow when a player said the wrong
responding word. I remember that il was
impossible lo "zoom" a "schwartz," but that a
"zoom" could follow in most cases. 'Then came
the big poker game. Jean-Claude supplied the
chips while one of the Dakotas, Wets, shuffled
the cards and deall 'cm around the table. Each
player maintained his own, but us the hours
passed on, there was a detectable intense
attempt on the part of each player to lead the
hands. Due to the analytical subtlety of a few
players during the course of the evening, men
steadily sifted from the game. Intermittently
the Duke improvised with raw jokes and
perverted behaviorisms. He w a s soon t o be
one of the final two players in the big game,
which he brought to a conclusion by quipping,
"Let's quit, cause we'll just be taking from each
other, and I want lo go to sleep." Thus, the
Duke came out ahead with over six bills, and
Jean-Claude with at least two, pillherating
with a head embossed with scotch. During
other moments, we played card games, pingpong, manual field hockey, battleships, as well
as a great deal of pocket pool.
Jean-Claude was worth his twelve years of
experience. I watched him as he look off and
absorbed the irregular terrain by allowing his
body to compress on the crest or top of a
bump. Then, he would extend his legs through
ihe fall line lo carve a turn with good ski-snow
contact. A less expert skier, such as myself,
might practice these extension turns ihe first
lew timeswilh different results. Al first, I often
fell a quick upmotionnnd straightening of my
entire body, therefore making my body weight
fall behind the center of the skis in an awkward
position, milk ing il difficult for me to get ready
in time on the next mogul. I didn't have many
fails, though one time, due to a'momentary
loss of control, 1 almost skied off ihe slope into
a woodland glade of spruce and narrow
winding trails. Afterwards. I found that
whenever I was going too fast. I commanded
my skis lo effectuate a series of turns.
Three days later we left the hills of Vermont.
Twelve of us relumed lo Albany, where the
D u k e look up someone's suggestion and set
out for Troy to open up a charm school for
perverts. I had experienced a strange aching
silence when the cabin was cmpiv. for ihe
spool of a lew exciting wintry days stretching
endlessly ahead, had wound up its ribbon and
suddenly disappeared.
My skiing had definitely improved, and on
the trip back, 1 imagined that I was still on the
slopes. There is a loneliness that keens through
one's mind, for when you are standing along
the pine bordered slopes or upon the stranded
summit of a hill, y o u can experience the
powerfulness of the environmental beauty
around y o u , and you can kindle a reaching
beyond the limits of experience. You learn lo
respond l o the shock of high speed mogul
skiing, as you become a soaring thrust of
freedom in such an authentic atmosphere of
wind and powdery snow, for you can actually
momentarily interrupt the horizon with your
presence.

Music Appreciation for the Tone JDeaf
The ancient Greeks often placed their sanctuaries and temples in location!"
of spectacular scenic beauty. The Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi, the Temple
of Aphaea on Aegina, and the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sunium will serve
as examples. The latter stands on a rocky promontory 197 feet above the see,
a conspicuous landmark serving the convenience of mariners. It'was built,
shortly after 450 B.C., in the Doric order and featured a peristyle of 34(6x13)
fluted columns, of which fewer than half are now standing. It found a place
not only in the literature of ancient Greece itself but also in that of 18th and
19th century England.

Many people who consider
becoming involved with "classical"
music feel handicapped in that their
capacity for music is limited by an inability to hear, commonly called
lone deafness. Actually tone
deafness is quite rare, und can be
determined by a simple test. If you
can recognize a familiar tunc, you
are not tone deaf. It's as simple as
that, and the truth is that most people are not tone deaf. In fact, mostly
everyone can begin to appreciate
music if they only give it a chance.
Marine Dictionary
William Falconer, a native of Edinburgh, was both a poet and a sailor. He
survived shipwreck twice, once in 1760 in the British Channel, and once in
1762 at CapeColonna, by which name Cape Sunium was then known. On the
latter occasion he was one of only three survivors. In 1769 Falconer lost his
life when his ship saflk on a voyage to East India. Just before his last voyage
he published his famous Marine Dictionary. His literary output also includes
a number of poems, the most important of which is "The Shipwreck." It is the.
length of a small epic und has been culled by some "one of the finest poems in
the English language." Wc are indebted for it directly to the tragedy of the
poet's second shipwreck at Cape Sunium. Understandably Falconer
describes Sunium not us beautiful but as sinister and threatening:
But now Athenian mountains they descry,
and o'er the surge Colonna frowns on high.
Where marble columns, long by time defue'd,
Moss covcr'd on the lofty cape are plac'd.
An archaic exhibition of graffiti is on display at the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sunion.

wall of the temple (for which we shall not forgive him], was impressed by the
lonely splendor of the place, and sadly reflected on the Greeks' loss of
freedom:

To truly appreciate music, both
listening and understanding are involved. Listening, however, is not a
passive process, it is in fact an active
one. Not only is it important to
recognize melodies, but also it is important to understand how they are
used to make a given piece into a
musical whole. In his book What to

Aaron Copland talks of three planes
of listening lo music, namely the
Sensuous, the Expressive, and the
Musical planes.

Beyond the sound appeal of
music, there is a message in music,
and the search for tis meaning is
listening on the Expressive Plane. "Is
there meaning in music'.'," asks Mr.
Copland. "Yes. Can you state in so
many words? No." In fuct very often
music takes on different meanings at
different times or means different
things to different people. But there
are some who claim that there are
only musical meanings in most
pieces. A good deal of music, namely
programatic music, deals with a
single extra-musical concept or idea.
However, a majority of symphonic
music is not simply that way.
Appreciating music entails understanding it, for anybody capable
of recognizing a theme can appreciate music. The intelligent
listener must be prepared to increase
his or her awareness of the material
and what happens to it. Allow
yourself to hear melodies, harmonies
and tone colors in a more conscious
fashion and follow the line of the
composer's thought. Listen actively.
Develop a deeper understanding by
being a more conscious and aware
listener, not by just listening, but by
listening for something.

comedy songs. The latter were sorely
missed Saturday night. When such
traditional Bromberg ' crowdplcasers as "Sharon" and "Kansas
City" did make their appearance, it
wasn't the same.
Almost from theoutset.it was apparent that something was wrong.
After the popular and infrequcntlypcrformed "The Hold-Up,"
Bromberg acknowledged cries from
the audience that his voice could not
be heard. "1 was born with this." he
.viiinittol, "Speak to the sound
man." It was unfortunate that the
sound mix prevented Bromberg
from really letting loose, since he's
one of those charismatic performers
who really seems to communicate his
enthusiasm to the audience (and
perhaps what most put a damper on
the eveningwas that Brombergdidn't
seem to be enjoying himself). Even
his acoustic guitar seemed defiant,
causing him frequent tuning hassles.
"I swear it was in tune when 1 bought
it," he noted.
When Bromberg didn't have to
worry about the voice microphones,
his versatile group performed its
usual block-busting instrumental,
ranging from bluegrass to Dixieland. Bromberg's backup groups
are notable for their intcrchangeability, and this one was a
potpourri of past chronics. What
usually remains constant, however,
is their muscial excellence. Here was
little room for disappointment.

The abbreviated brass and wind
section of Billy Novick and Peter
Ecklund really shone (although
Novick did tend tobesomewahtofa
ham), and the bass and drums were
better than adequate, as usual. What
was somewhat disappointing,
however, was the fact that the two
line fiddle players couldn't be heard
through much of the set.
In evidence throughout the performance were, Bromberg's
chitruoteristib musical proficiency
and versatility. He never ceases to
awe audiences with his lightening
quick guitar licks and incredibly inventive runs, and appears almost
equally competent on mandolin, fiddle, and dobro. In fact, hisdobro lick
on one of the instrumental was so
good that it would've been difficult
to find a Nashville picker to
challenge him. His "flat picking" was
technically superb during the evening and relatively free from the mistakes that Bromberg's critics claim
frequently flaws his playing.
Despite the fact that this was
definitely not one of Bromberg's
better shows, he certainly gave the
audience their money's worth,
reappearing for no less than three encores. During the last call-back he
confided, "Either you people are
musochists or the lighting guy is a
miser."
One of the brighter notes of the
evening was the warm-up group,
"The Buffalo Gals," an ensemble of
female blucgrasscrs from Syracuse.
Their harmonies were soaring and
beautiful, and although they may
have suffered, on the whole, from a
lack of bctter-than-average
musicianship and experience before
larger-than-coffeehouse-size
audiences, they do happen to possess
one of the best banjo-pickers around
("Bottle Hill Boys" and "Country
Granola" beware). She was good
enough, in fact, to be called up by
Bromberg to pick on a few of his
numbers, and she refused to be outclassed. It was a refreshing surprise
to hear female performers of
bluegrass—a traditionally maledominated area of American music.

Defense-one aspect ol bridge
which is left unstudied and neglected
by a great many bridge players. It
seems that this undertaking is too
laborious or too lime consuming
when there are advanced squeeze
positions and complex declarer
plays to be mastered. Although
these areas are indeed lascuuiiing
lliey are much rarer than nonadvanced defensive plays. Since
defenders arc unable lo see both
hands of their partnership they are
pretlymuch functioning in the dark:
and this is what makes defense a
most thrilling part ol bridge play.

play in the diamond suit, revolving

local entertainment happenings, expanded sports reports

Slackridge Stackridge won't be
successful in the US. Even though,
they're being produced by George
Martin, even though they're already
known in England, they will almost
definitely fall victim to what may be
called the T. R e x Syndrome.
Like T. Rex, their music is bright
and bouncy, their lyrics inventive
and interesting. Like T. Rex, they
have too pleasant a sound fnf ijj^j
ro
<* fSiis, bijt hot quite insipid
chough for the AM radio audience
(include there Albany's major contribution to FM radio: an AM station, in the form of WGFM). And
so, ItkeT. Rex, Stackridge is doomed to minor band status, an opening
act with a cult following.
All this is not to say that
Stackridge is simply an imitation of
Bolan's entourage; in fact,
Stackridge is not "simply" anything.
They possess a flexible musical style
that results in some very diversified
music, a far cry from the single note
rhythm/melodies fo England's own
electric warrior. They rely heavily on
their strong harmonious vocals,
sounding, at times, a bit like CSNY
or the Beach Boys. They also
manage to effectively employ a wide
range of instruments—although the
instrumental that winds up Pinafore
Days is best forgotten.
There's just no middle ground for
a group like Stackridge, and they'll
have to settle—at least for now—for
a few progressive radio stations,
small club dates, and nowhere near
the exposure that they deserve.

Mellow Jazz Explores New Areas

Jesus, what a weekend! The
arrival of winter weekend provided a
welcome change of pace to the usual
campus social scene. The regular
bars and movies were available of

traditional Albany weekends. For
many, the Colonial Quad Party
(with unlimited drinks for under a
buck) offered a relief from accumulating schoolwork and an alternative to seeing "American Graffiti"
for thefifth or sixth time. Yet for those
with somewhat different interests,
the highlight of the weekend was the
free jazz concert held last Saturday
at 8 P.M. in the Campus Center.

liekJ is younger while it's format is
looser. This style has endeared them
to a new brand of jazz fans. The
young crowd is tiring of many of the
mindless and exploitative hits pass-
ing themselves off as serious rock.
Instead many are exploring new and
less commercialized areas in music.
Jazz, the birthplace of modern rock,
has attracted most of this revived interest. If you're into serious rock but
don't like being spoon-fed, performers like Heath might be what
you are searching for.

The enthusiastic audience took it all
in stride and was quickly rewarded
for its patience. In the highlight of

letters
Godfather II Top Notch
by Icily Stem
Robin and Linda Williams have been described as a musical duo with the
ability to "radiate charisma to an audience even without singing". Be that as it
may, their varied talents as both singers and all-around entertainers will be
available to everyone tonight at the Freeze-Dried Coffeehouse in the
Assembly Hall.
Their repertoire runs the gamut from traditional to folk and country and
includes some original material as well. One of their specialties, however, is
digging up underrated, overlooked material of other songwriters that, if not
for them, most listeners would probably never get the opportunity to hear. In
fact, one of the songs they perform. Morning Paper, was written by Jack
Hardy, who appeared at the Freeze-Dried Coffeehouse here last weekend.
by C.S. Santlno
As rumor has it, director Francis
F o r d C o p p o l a , working at
breakneck pace, barely managed to
pull "The Godfather Part II" out of
the cutting room and into the anxious hands of the distributors for
Christmas release. The last three
weeks' worth of editing was said to
have been crammed into a few short
days. Coppola himself commented,
"If I had three more months on this
one, I'd have a great film."
Besides their talents as vocalists and guitarists, Robin and Linda have a
quick-witted humor that enables them to establish an easy rapport with
audiences of all types. It's the kind of rapport that, even for total strangers,
establishes them as the sort of friends everyone wishes they had.
After seeing "The Godfather Part
II" it is hard to imagine what Coppola could have accomplished with
more time—his finished product is
indeed a great film.
Robin and Linda WMams wIN b* appearing at « M Freeze-Dried Coffeehouse this weekend.
It should be stated up front that
"Part II" is a far cry from the infamous potboiler sequels that follow
hugely (or even mildly) successful
movies. This is top-notch filmmaking—a compelling masterpiece
in its won right that oushines the
original. It is also a distinct departure from "The Godfather"—
moving forward and backward in
time, Coppola picks up on some new
themes, vigorously expands on
others, and applies depth and color
to an array of fascinating characters.
"Part II" (produced and directed
by Coppola and written by Coppola
and Mario Puzo) is devised as a
series of flashbacks to the rise of Vito
Corlconc (Roberty DeNiro) in 1917
Little Italy interspersed with the
struggles and near-demise of
Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) in the
forties and fifties.
The story of Michael Corlcone is
picked up some years alter the death
of his father. At this point, Michael
has firmly established himself as the
new Godfather-he's completely
taken over the Nevada casino rucket
in a d d i t i o n to his father's
businesslike mercilessncss and
penchant for understated threats
("I'll visit him soon"). Michael has
done well for himself and the
Family—but it's no longer the "good
old days" and the complexities of
"modern times" (Cuban revolution.
Senate investigations, etc.) almost
prove too much for the Corleones.
The flashback sequences not only
provide a richly decorated history of
the Family but serve to delineate
Michael's character in comparison
with his father's. The Little Italy of
1917 is a world of relative
simplicity—Vito's crime life is one of
petty robberies; Michael's is one of
international interests. And where
Vito is motivated by selfimporvement and a sense of dedication to the Family—and this is the
crux of the film—Michael is driven
blindly by an obsession with the
Family.
Coppola makes fullest use
of the characters who surround
Michael to underscore this obsession, most importantly his estranged
wife Kay (Diane Kcaton), his advisor Tom Hagan (Robert Duvall),
and his pathetic brother Fredo (John
Cazale). This figures we met briefly
in "The Godfather" are here
solidified— especially Fredo, who
Cazale plays with marvelous sensitivity.
Special note should be made ol De
Niro's cunning performance as the
up-and-coming Don Corlcone. His
subtle and satisfying portrayal,
coupled with Coppola's cimple,
powerful direction, mingling of
murder and religious ritual, and
keen sense of atmosphere, make
"The Godfather Part II" a uniquely
rewarding film, one that never
becomes pretentious despite its
scope.

FEBRUARYS, 197S
Footsteps in the Dark
To the Editor:
In response to the article "Return to an
Earlier Mentality" appearing in the ASP on
Tuesday, February 4,1 am not sure where Mr.
Mayer is getting the information that within a
few weeks a "Dachau-on-the-Hudson" will be
opening up. Dr. Nahum Goldman, President
of the World Jewish Congress which met in
Jerusalem on Februarys, said "that because of
the barbarities performed by the Nazis, and
the feelings of guilt that arose in the West,
anti-Semitism hasdeclined tremendously." As
a matter of fact, the position of Jews,
particularly in the United States is so
respected that "There is no real danger of a
new holocaust, of pogroms, or of a denial of
the rights for the Jewish people."
Indeed, it is Mr. Mayer who is behaving
most like a German of the 1930's. It is he who
is jumping to absurd conclusions, hearing
footsteps in the dark, imagining conspiracies
brewing, and in general, proceeding into a
stale of paranoia. History shows us that when
anyone, repeat anyone, begins to act like this,
disaster is not far away.
Joseph McCarthy
Bad Connection
To the Editor:
In response to Tuesday's article, "Return to
an Earlier Mentality," one finds Mr. Mayer's
contention that the danger of an onslaught of
anti-Semitism in this country being imminent
simply does not hold water.
Today, no one can argue that the American
economy is not in poor condition. But to
compare the economic, social, and political
circumstances of pre-HitlerGcrmany with the
present state of affairs in America is absurd.
Prc-Hitler Germany was mired in the midst
of horrendous inflation and then crippling
depression. America in no way approaches
this situation.
The political situation that ushered in Hitler
was one of a nation thai had its first attempt
with democracy aborted, while the United
States is the oldest republic in the history of
the world. Thus, there is little resemblance to
the Germany of Hitler and the America ol
today.
Also, anti-Semitism in Germany did not
suddenly appear with advent of Nazism. AntiSemitism in Germany has roots going back to
the Middle Ages. Anti-Semitism in America,
if it does exist, does not reach back "quite"
thai far.
Mr. Mayer points out that America would
not support Israel if it meant "no oil, i.e. no
jobs, no travel, and so on." He states that for
anyone to believe otherwise is naive and is a
thoughtless individual.
Undoubtedly he is right. But it would be
equally naive for anyone lo believe that the
U.S. would support any nation at the risk of
incurring irreperable damage lo itself. To
expect any country to support another
country "to the bitter end" even if it means iis
own economic ruination is irresponsible.
Would we support England at the risk of our
own economic destruction? Or France? Or
Uganda? I think not.
Mr. Mayer then states that economics is
always superior to morality in this country.
Immediately implied is that support of Israel
and its policies of preventing the recovery of
their homeland by the Palestinian Arabs is the
onO'morally correct position on this question.
Without delving into the whole Middle Easl
crises, it is suffice to say that this is an arrogant
and self-righteous attitude.
Mr. Mayer errs grieviously once again in
linking anti-Semitism to anti-Zionism. He
would have on think that the two sentiments
are
inseparable. Zionism is a political
movement, not a religious one. Mr. Mayer
insinuates (hat todisagrcewith Israel's policies
towards Undisplaced Palestinians and its own
accumulation of land (for that is the essence of
Zionism) is to bean anti-Semite. According to

You have one hour.
Six minutes later, a funny looking youngster no more than ten or eleven, completely out of
place among the thirty or so other doctoral candidates in the class, stood up. He walked to the
desk in the front of the room, placed his answer booklet upon it, and quietly continued out of the
room.
And went, as he did cverday, to the boathousc in the middle of Fenway Park. He climbed up
on the big boulder in the back, nearly ripping his pants knee as he did so, to wait. For it was on
this rock everyday for the last 3 months, that hemel hisfairy-godchicken. Now what the hell is a
fairy-godchicken, you ask? I'll tell you: 1 don't know. And that's not the least of my problems.
I don't know how to end this damn story. Absolutely no idea what to do with it. Zero. So what
did I do? 1 invented a fairy godchicken to help me out, but it turns out I don't really know what
one is or what it can do for you.
And the kid,—who ihe hell is he? What is he doing in this class of grown-up doctoral
candidates? Is he some sort of whiz-kid or what? But even more importantly—what is he doing in
my story? I never met him.
I don't understand the test question posed at the beginning of this article, so, 1 hope you're not
expecting an answer.
And Fenway Park—What's the story? Why, 1 challenge you, does it have a boat house if it has
no lake? Why are all those boats stacked up, unable to be used? What the helfts going on here?
Alright, lets assume the kid has gotten to the boulder, like he does every day-hey-why
everyday? Docs he ever skip a day? Whal happens if it rains? Can he meet the fairygotfehicken in
Ihe boat house if it's real cold? No? Well, who does this little punk chicken think he'is ordering
this poor kid around like that?
If I were that kid, we'd all be having chicken-roll for dinner and I'd have my afternoons to
myself, that's what would happen if it were me and that faggot chicken. I often wonder why
ficticious characters put up with this sort of crap.
Meanwhile, we have no answers to the posed question, and deadline is only two hours away.
Why, oh why, do 1 put myself through this? Big deal, I get my name in the paper, but who needs
this so rt of g ricf every damn week? I should be studying marketing, got that test Wednesday. Oy,.
when will this get done? I'm getting dizzy, let me sit down for a minute . . .
You're laughing. 1 can't believe it, you sadistic bastard, you're laughing. Why you—DO YOU
THINK IT'S EASY? EH, PUNK, DO YOU?.' WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU
WRITE AN ARTICLE FOR THE PAPER? GODDAM LAZY LUMP OF CRAP, WHO
THE HELL ARE YOU! WHY I OUGHTA B E A T - . . . I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break out
like that. 1 just got excited, and you know, . . . well, . . . 1 am sorry. I'll be good, from now on. I
will.
But really, it gels to me, y'know? Every week these little snots pick up their paper, flip through
the pages, and expect to see me there. Yeah, Yeah, Good ol' Ken, he'll be waiting for me. I'm
getting a little sick of being taken for granted.
From now on, there's going to be no more of this "Yeah, I'll skim thorough CauUi while
taking a crap" attitude.
So listen all of you out there: it's gonna be a whole new ballgame. You're gonna start treating
me nice. You'll put on a clean shirt and good pants before picking me up Friday, understand?
And you can give me the eye during the week, too. No more weekend flings.
Think I'm kidding? Go ahead try me. Either you shape up o r . . . or . . . or no more sex.

Rapid City, South Dakota, June 9, 1972:
As late afternoon drew to a close, ominous
warnings began appearing, advising the
people of Rapid City of a possible flood. The
rain started to fall and full and fall and fall.
Near midnight, the surging Rapid Creek River
pushed away Canyon Lake Dam and washed
into the city, sweeping up people, cars, trees
and houses. The gushing water ripped up
eighty blocks of pavement, covered 20'Hni the
city in mud. snapped power lines and shut off
the gas supply.
Whole families were lost. Some people
managed to scramble onto roots or into little
bouts. But others were less ahleund less lucky.
One hundred million dollars later, insurance
adjusters and state officials pondered the
situation. It was u trugic occurrence, but alter
all. what could be done? A flood is, of course,
an "act of God."
Hut was it? It appears that this "act of God"
may have received a big push from salt crystals
injected into clouds in the vicinity of Rapid
City curlier that afternoon. "Project Cloud
Catcher," a weather modification experiment
undertaken by the Institute of Atmospheric
Sciences at the South Dakota School of Mines
set the stage. Available information indicates
that on June o, seeding caused unusually
heavy ruin und that these clouds were
curried still ruining-over two watersheds
which in turn led them with more moisture.
Confronted by opposing weather forces, these
clouds poured water into and around Rapid
City for the next six hours!
The implications are obvious. The infinite
variables involved in weather modification
make it a field where the utmost precaution
must be takca to prevent disaster. Slide rule
calculations fail to realize that a raining cloud
is not a "thing," but a process.
Weather modification is an idea which has
grown with leaps und bounds in recent years.
The original rationale behind the concept was
to increase the amount of moisture in given
geographic locutions, ultimately benefitting
formers through improved crops, belter
grazing and other related uspects. Hut how
advantageous is 20-30% more ruin when the
natural topography of u region is not
adequately designed for storing or distributing
the sudden growth?
Cloud seeding is an idea which works on
paper more successfully than it does in the air.
As the Interior continues to play in it's l.ub in
the sky. what excuse is offered lor the damage
and loss of life incurred in situations such us
Rupid City?
The danger involved in experimenting with
the weather was unwittingly hinted nl by Dr.
Pierre St. Amand. chairperson lor the Hoard
of Inquiry which investigated the catastrophe
of Rupid City. St. Amand is quoted assaying.
"You can go ahead und work on them (clouds)
all the time and not really have any great cause
lor concern, but you still have to adopt the
same precautions that you'd use when you're
playing with a rattlesnake."

Trevett Stars As Danes Win
by Nathan Salant
Sparked by a stellar second half performance by Gary Trevett (16
points and 9 assists; 10 and 7 in the second half), and the clutch
shooting of Mike Suprunowicz (20) and Ed Johnson (14, 10 in the
second half), the Albany State Great Danes varsity basketball team
came from behind to overtake the Geneseo Blue Knights, 64-60,
Tuesday evening. Over 2700 fans were on hand, as the Danes upped
their record to 10-5,5-1 in the State University of New York Athletic
Conference; while Geneseo dropped to 7-8, 3-2 in conference play.
The Danes are now in second place in the Conference behind an
undefeated Brockport team, and host Brockport February 22 in a
game which may very well decide who wins the SUNY Crown, and
the NCAA Tournament bid that accompanies it.
"Trevett did some incredible things
out there for us tonight", said
Albany's varsity basketball coach
Doctor Richard Sauers. "He must
ahve generated at clast 10 of their 18
turnovers, as well as hitting the tying
basket (52-52 with 5:15 to play)."
"Our game plan revolved around
stopping Ed Robota," (6'5", averaging IK points and 16 rebounds a
game)", said Sailers, "and although
he scored 17 and pulled down 19
rebounds, individually and teamwise
we did a good job on him, especially
during the last few minutes of the
game." (Robota scored 6 points and
pulled down 3 rebounds in the last
live minutes of play.)
I he game opened with both teams
trading baskets for 3 minutes, as the
s c o r e r e a c h e d 6-6.
Then,
Suprunowicz led the Danes on a hot
streak, as he tossed in 4 field goals.
Trevett 2, and Johnson one. as
Albany built up a 20-11 lead with
12:25 to play.
Cieneseo came storming back, outscoring the Danes 14-4. as Robota
scored seven points and assisted on
another two field goals. With 5:20
left in the hall, the teams began
swapping baskets, which ended with
a Suprunowicz 15-l'ooter with 2
seconds left, sending the teams to the
lockcrroms with the Danes ahead
34-33.
Suprunowicz led all scorers with
14 first half points, followed by
Trevett and Geneseo's Dave
Silliman (8), Robota (7), and Pete
Koofa (6). The Danes shot 15/28, to
(ieneseo*s 15/37. while the Blue
Knights outrchounded Albany 2713.
With the opening of the second
half, the Knights went on a 13-2 scoring binge, dropping the Danes 10
points behind with 14 minutes to
play. The outlook was dismal—the

the Danes were about to suffer a big
letdown-loss after Saturday's amazing come from behind win over
Ithaca (the Danes trailed by 20 at
one point Saturday).
Suprunowicz hit a jumberut 13:46

Next. Trevett stole the hall from
Kline, and hit lorn Morphis (6 pts.)
underneath to bring Albany within
six. Ten seconds later, Geneseo's
Gary Witter (8 pts.) fouled out, and
when Trevett hita foul line jumper at
12:55. the crowd and the Danes
appeared to have returned to the
realm of the living.
Kline broke the Dunes' string at
11:10, hitting from 5, to give
Geneseo a 48-42 lead, before Trevett,
Morphis, and Suprunowicz hit three
straight baskets to tie it with 9:10 to
play.
The lead sec-sawed for 4 minutes,
before Johnson and Trevett completed steals and layups. and the
Danes were ahead 56-52 to stay,
largely thanks to 3 key steals by
Trevett, and tight defense by the
whole team.
