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

Ithaca (the Danes trailed by 20 at

Suprunowicz hit a jumberut 13:46

Next. Trevett stole the hall from

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.

SA Begins Budgeting
by Ldward Moser
On Sunday evening the Budget Committee held an open hearing on the
financing of University organizations and activities for the school year 1975I ')76. Student apathy dominated the discussion, or lack of one, as less than a
dozen people voiced their opinion on how the half million dollars of student
tax money should be spent.
Those who were at ihe meeting tended to cither question or defend the
money requests of certain groups. For example, there was Chris Hubcn, Ihe
Dutch Quad Hoard President. She justified an increased request lor Dutch
Quad by saying that the Quads service in some way over two-thirds of Ihe undergraduate population. Ms. Hubcn also mentioned several of the concrete
uses of funding, such as coffee bouses and craft workshops.
Chris Aidun caused a bit of a stir when he followed an International
Students Association request to $7,400 by asking for a NYIMRG allocation
of $36,000. (The figure is based on a count of $2 per stuHcnt.) Aidun claimed
that S.A. funding of NYIMRG was essential since the idea of direct student
funding had been knocked down this summer in the courts. He said: "It's expensive to change the world."
Although ihe Budget Committee influences funding policy, the President
lias the final say on any plans the Committee draws up.
Curnin stated ill the hearing that a greater emphasis should be put on mass
programming, which he said affects the whole student body. He suggested
that oil-campus movies be made free. In regards to concerts, he thought it
best to spend less money on fewer yet "bigger' acts.
O m a n regretted the lact that so little lax money was spent on off-campus
students li\ ing at home, who pay the tax as everyone else does. Yet he admilled that it would be difficult to stage entertainments "in the suburbs" to
reach such people.
O m a n said Hal out that WSUA should he eliminated if forced to run on a
A.M. basis. And ciling the relatively greater expense of obtaining and running an F.M, station,felt lukewarm to llis continuance of even improved
operation, later in the meeting. CouncilpcrsonRick Mcckler urged the
Uudgel Commute noi to lake a stand on WSUA until the Council completes
its own research on the matter.
I he Budget Committee will continue for quite some time to continue to
hold hearings on each Sunday. From now on the sessions will be closed to
just a lew designated groups. Committee Chairperson Mark Goldstein says
thai uninvited people attending the hearings would cause too much confusion.
I he question of stipends will surely be discussed at these subsequent
meetings. Stipends are cash amounts paid lostudents in order to compensate
fur time spent in extra-curricular activities.On Sunday Kick Mcckler complained about the increasing number of people getting stipends and
suggested that such money grains might he limited to six or seven persons,
such as the S.A. President and Vice-President.
Other things that might be discussed in the future are the rights of
organizations to use tax money tu buy refreshments for their meetings, and
the use of funds by athletics.

Hale Boggs was a m e m b e r of the
Warren Commission, which investigated t h e J . F . K . assassination
eleven years a g o .
His son, T h o m a s , slates that his
lather w a s given information o n
Warren Commission critics by the
F.B.I, in o r d e r to d a m a g e their
credibility.
Thomas Boggs further states that
his lather w a s encouraged by the
T.H.I, to release personal information and c o m p r o m i s i n g photos of
the critics in an effort to stifle
criticism ol t h e Warren Commission
Report.
The younger Hoggs says his father
regarded the T.B.I.'s actions as
"Gestapo tactics."
Ilic F.B.I, has confirmed that it
gathered information on Warren
Commission critics. T h e Bureau
states, however, that it does not
know if this information, or material
was disseminated publicly.

According to the Department of

At the beginning of 1974, 31,000
tons of garbage were reportedly
collected each d a y . In recent weeks,
however, the daily garbage h a s
dropped drastically to 29,000 t o n s .
An Oregon State student has earned $100 by drinking II ounces of

EXXON HITS 3-BILLION
Exxon has become the first corporation on earth to report a yearly
profit exceeding three billion
dollars.
Exxon last week informed its
stockholders that the oil company
netted a hefty $3.14 billion in profits
during 1974—an increase of $700
million in earnings over theprevious
year.
A.T.&T. set the previous profit
record in 1973 when that telephone
conglomerate banked $2.9 billion in
profits.
A.T.&T. is also expected to surpass the three-billion dollar profit
mark when it announces its final
1974 figures within the next few

For months, the companion search committees, established to find a candidate to fill
the three year Arts and Science Dean vacancy and to select a replacement for President
Benezet, have been engaged in their laborious, tedious processes. The President
announced his intentions to resign early last year, effective at the end of this semester,
while the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences has been vacant since the demise of
I. Moyer Hunsberger. When the senior class graduates in June, there will be no one left
in this school who will have been here when Hunsberger exercised his full power.
State University oi New York at Albany
One man will always remember the way in which Hunsberger wielded his power. The
way the search committees' procedures are developing, Vice-President Philip Sirotkin
stands in the best position to win the presidency, if by no other means than through the
back door.
When t h e search committee Dean of the Division of Behavioral Social Sciences
began looking for a new dean, Richard Kendall was appointed as the acting Dean. He
held that post for t h e past two years. When the committee handed in its classic "no
recommendation." Philip Sirotkin skillfully put Kendall in the post permanently.
Amid strong dissent an equally strong support, Kendall stealthed his way to power
through the b a c k d o o r . That he might have beenappointed legitimately is undeniable,
but he wasn't.
If the Search Committtee for the Dean of Arts and Sciences reaches its findings and
hands in a positive report on someone, anyone, before its counterpart for the
Presidency, then Philip Sirotkin will become the next Presidentof this University. By
stealth, through the back door. Very simply, no one will want to take the job as
President w h e n the number three position on campus, and the number two academic
position (next to the Academic Vice-President) is a set job for three of the five years the
President reigns.
Such a position for a
president is untenable. It means he has little power to
effect academic reform because the A and S Dean will have been appointed by
someone else. T h e only one who would be willing to put up with a situation such as this
would be the man who appointed the Dean originally. As it stands, that man will be the
present Academic Vice-President Philip Sirotkin. Thus, it is all too possilbe for the
Presidential Search Commiittee to delay, or hand in a "no recommendation" to the
President, and Sirotkin will, through the back door, take over. It is an unacceptable
scenerio.

The recent report issued by the Office of Undergraduate Studies showing how
students have been taking courses without distribution requirements in enlightening.
Academic Affairs Dean Robert B. Morris correctly suggests it might have bearing on
o u r definition of liberal education at SUNYA.
The elimination of course requirements at SUNYA began in Fall. 1970 and has
continued without much fuss or fanfare.
What appears to be happening, according to the report, isan increase in the number
of courses an average student takes in his major and related fields.
In the class of 1974, music majors concentrated their course choices in theirown
department more than any other group of graduating majors. The average music major
completed fifty-nine percent of his work, within thedepartment. Artmajorscompleted
forty-two percent, a n d Afro-American Studies majors forty-one percent.
Most students in the Humanities and Social Sciences took very few courses in the
Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and the bulk of those who did were Economics and
Psychology majors. Natural Science majors took more in the other direction, but yet
not that large a percentage. This is no real surprise when you look at the major
requirements of the different departments. Major requirements make sense. Allcollege requirements don't.
We can argue about the meaning of a liberal education for len years and still not
really know more than when we began, but the trust that we put in the hands of
individual students is a sign of our confidence in thier independent pursuit of
knowledge. Some students will never care what courses they take, but care or not. no
all-college requirements means a more worthwhile, realistic and meaningful education
for all S U N Y A graduates.

—keeps the fruit sellers in business, though the use of chemical;
preservatives and potentially dangerous pesticides have caused many
Americans to wonder about the apple's effectiveness atkeeping the doc tor
away.
The health-care business is certainly not dying (though due to current
prices, many people are). Health in general, and proper eating habits in
particular, have been the topics of numerous gastronomic arguments in
and out of dining halls and cafeterias. Many books have been, and will
continue to b e written on food in an attempt to answer the "what, where,
when, how, why, and with whom" of eating. Publishers advertise these
books implying that the keys to happiness and health can be found by
eating papaya roots for breakfast and pigs tails soup for dinner, etc.
This is the way myths enter our culture and food fads start. On 4 and 5P
Beatrice Arzoumanian takes a look at some of these fads and gives us the

Flagyl, the b r a n d n a m e for

nnually the public spends
millions of dollars on many
unreliable nutrition and diet
books. The authors of these books
have no sound nutrition background,
make theories based upon personal
prejudices, misinterpreted personal
. experiences a n d certain incidents,
stress and promote the use and sale of
certain proprietary organic foods such
as wheat germ, brewer's yeast,
bulghur, papaya juice, yogurt, rose
hips, bone meals, etc., calling them
superior, magic, capable of improving
health, remedies of certain diseases
and causing rapid weight loss. These
books lack supporting data, scientific
proof, and are not recommended and
substantiated by medical, biochemical
research and the Department of Health
Division ol Nutrition. They are
inaccurate, misleading, can cause diet
deficiency, malnutrition, make the
laymen put trust and faith in miracles,
believe in lads, lallacies and lead them
to adopt bad lood practices.
A
Recently the Food and Drug
Administration (F.D.A.) made a rule
that would prohibit any lalse
advertisement saying that:
1. Organically grown foods are
superior and prevent or cure certain
diseases.
2. Ordinary loods can not provide
adequate nutrients.
3. Insufficient diet is due to the soil in
which food is grown.
4. Prohibits any nutritional claims for
non-nutritive ingredients and their
combination with essential nutrients
(such as inositol, paraminobenzoic
acid, rutin and other flavonoids).
These unrecommended books and
modified diets interfere with the
advancement of nutrition and are a
threat to health.
All over the world food prejudices,
superstitions, taboos, ignorance and
nutritional and religious customs and
traditions are one of the causes ol
malnutrition. Even in theU.S.A.certain
food faddists advocate the use of
"organic food" and deny nutritious
value of scientific techniques in
preparing, processing or cooking
loods. These authors believe in the use
ol foods grown on natural organically
fertilized soil and eat raw lood as the
primitives. So according to them we
have to deny all scientific, advanced
techniques ol agriculture, disregard
the use ol fertilizers, antibiotics,
additives, enrichment ol Hour,
p a s t e u r i z a t i o n , irradiation and

iodized salt, fluoridation of water and
forget all about sanitation and public

Through the years many weight
reducing fads and lallacies ahve been
practiced such as:
Egg diet,
Green Vegetable diet.
Banana diet,
Three Day Prune diet.
All Meat diet,
High Fat diet,
Grapefruit diet,
High Protein diet, etc..
These diets are sell prescribed and
leave out important nutrients. Most
s p e c i a l foods a r e expensive,
monotonous in taste, encourage bad
eating habits, provide food which are
high in cholesterol, cannot be
maintained for along time and are very
inadequate so that only harm can
result if continued lor long. Although
the list ol such food lallacies is long
here are some examples:
FALLACY: Margarine has less

weight reducing diet. In the "IJONOT

dried beans and dried peas. These
legumes are good and inexpensive

6. FSA needs money to payoff its loans
and build up a minimal surplus so that its
$2,000,000 of equipment can be replaced as is
necessary.
7. Part of the money FSA makes goes
back to students. Last year FSA gave over
$100,000 to student programs, (i.e., Mohawk
Campus, Commencement receptions, etc.).
K. If the entire FSA goes bankrupt, the
stale would lease out Food Service, Students

Certainly a tough financial situation exists.
The board rale question is now in the hands of
the ISA sub-committee. Hopefully they will
not find il necessary to recommend a board
rule increase.
To the Editor:
In the article on FSA in Tuesday's ASP
(Feb. 4) 1 was in no way advocating a hoard
rate increase. The current economic situation
clearly effects students to a degree greater than
other segments of society. During the course
of the interview relating to FSA I was only
attempting to state the reasons why a board
rate increase may have to be considered. A
FSA sub-committee consisting of three
students(Roberta Harwitt, Wayne Printi. Pat
Curran). one administrator and one faculty
member is currently investigating the hoard
rule question. This committee will look ul
financial projections forncxt year. If they find
that with increasing costs and inflation ISA
cannot generate sufficient income, there is the
possibility that they will suggest to ihe l-SA a
hoard rate increase. Below are facts thai will
hopefully help clarify the financial situation of
ISA. (Copies of FSA financial sluteinentsare

1. FSA suffered the following losses:
1070-71 $338,000, 1971-72 $203,000.
2. In Mayof l972thcd',reetorol l-SA was
relieved of his duties and expenses were cut

From the Capitol:
Lights, Camera,
No Action
by David Lemer
New York Post columnist Carl Rowan,
writing about the decision by Boston
University students to cancel the speaking
engagement of Ronald Zeigler said that
notoriety sells. "I could write a thousand
columns of unmatched genius," he wrote, but
"I'd be more famous if I was arrested smoking
pot in the White House."
The concept of the salability of notoriety
ties in directly with the advent of the television
candidate. That a candidate is a winner
regardless of his political appeal if he carries
well on television was a popular battle cry
which found its zenith in former President
Nixon's return to power in 1968. Television
personalities, especially political leaders, are
supposed to gain instant notoriety, due
exclusively to the fact that the face appeared
on television. Undoubtedly, a man like Dan
Rather is us popular because he carries
powerfully across television, as he is because
of his journalistic talents.
Television personalities are supposed to
attract a following. Once someone appears on
television people must expect that he will no
longer appear in the real world, and that if he
does, we had all better get a glimpse of the
human solar eclipse.
Governor Carey made an unprecedented
appearance on the Albany State campus on
Friday. As he walked out of the Campus
Center Ballroom down the steps that
thousands of students have walked down, into
the Lobby and out the door, there should have
been the tiir of unreality about the entire
incident. Television celebrities, especially the
Governor of New York, limply do not walk
down steps into the Campus Center Lobby..
Based on the notoriety theory, the usual
throng of students who frequent the Campus
Center at any given moment in the afternoon
should have rushed to his side to see a living
celebrity. But they didh't.
There' were a few curious Peeping-Toms
who walked over to find out why there were so
many jackets and ties on a university campus,
but there was no rush to see the Governor. The
press in fact, the people wearing all the jackets
and ties, looked sort of foolish jumping and
hopping around this short, overweight man
sweating TV make-up.
Hugh Carey is by now quite a notorious
figure, but to the students of Albany State, he
was a misfit on the campus. He didn't belong,
and as far as they were concerned, they were
not going to lend credibility to his visit by
swarming around him like a pack of rock and
roll groupies. On Friday, Hugh Carey did not
play in Peoria, and the theory of notoriety
began to go into its death throes.
There is certainly nothing mystical about
SUNYA students, nor are they especially
enlightened, but note that the last television
politician to gain an aura merely because of his
status was Richard Nixon.
What failed to happen on Friday in many
ways was far more dramatic than what did
happen. Carey, in his role as ceremonial chief
of state, addressed a no-students-allowcd
gathering of international trade leaders and
said nothing important. He spoke of leading
New York into a period of agricultural
aggressiveness, of remaining a labor-intensive
economy, all the things which'bring up bile in
ii normal listener. Robert Laird, the
Governor's press secretary, was sound asleep
through most of the speech. The Governor
promised that one day New York would lead
the nation in something other than taxes, but
the group of economists gathered in the
Ballroom failed to see the humor.
Nothing much happened on this campus on
Friday, and that alone may spell the most
important advance in enlightened politics
since America returned a verdict of guilty on
the whole process.
Notes From the House of the Dead:
Looking Into
the Crystal Ball
by Robert Mayer
A Republican President is forced to resign
his office in disgrace. A Republican
Administration witnesses each month a steady
rise in unemployment. A Republican
President accepts calmly the news that a
majority of Americans have little confidence
in his abilities to tackle the problems of
inflation and recession. A Republican party
suffers from low morale, diminishing funds,
and uncertainty as to its role in the future of
American politics. All this points to the logical
conclusion that the Democrats will recapture
the big enchilada. But not so.
Senator Henry Jackson announced his
candidacy last week, his hair dyed, face lifted,
and immediately was hailed as the front
runner. Of course being the only announced
candidate furthers that image. Yet Jackson is
recognized by his party as the man to beat and
nothing could more accentuate the dilemma of
the Democratic Party.
Jackson with over a million dollars in his
campaign vault, an enormous campaign
machinery, and constant publicity has done
little, if anything, to wet the appetite of the
electorate. He is a drab looking politician,
who speaks in a monotone equalled by few,
and il'hedocsn't rise above his 14% high water
mark, he is very likely to be the Hubert
Humphrey of 1976.
In addition. Jackson cannot shed his diehard hawkish image on Vietnam in time to
appease the Icl't-of-center coalition that is sure
to dominate and control the '76 convention.
Still, the lefl-of-center candidates are faring
no belter. Their problem can be attributed in
part to where they are coming from, mainly
Congress. Senator Birch Bayh of Indiana,
Frank Church of Idaho, Muskie of Maine,
Congressman Udall of Arizona, are all part of
a Congress that a whopping 82% of the nation
holds more responsible for the country's ills
than their President. To make matters even
worse, Muskie acknowlcgcd the obvious last
week when he said the the Presidential
sweepstakes has as many as twenty
contenders. Hardly an asset to the individual
that hopes to get the party nod.
In a normal year one could assume that a
first term Republican President would be a
sure bet for his party's nomination. But
normal years arc more and more like relics of
the past. Ford was not nominated by the
convention norelected by the people. The only
things right now that bar an open struggle for
the Republican ticket arc Nelson Rockefeller
and a deep tradition among Republicans to he
courteous to their president.
With the economy sinking the way it is, it is
only months before the Republicans' search
for a candidate is officially sanctioned by
party stalwarts. If Ford's decision on amnesty
did not alienate right wing members of his
party, his 52 billion dollar debt sure did. It is
that right of center core that controls the
convention.

Cobham Players
Burt By Feedback
by Spencer Ri|fjo
Cobham, atone on the cluttered
stage, bathed in coloured lights,
arms wildly flailing across the multitudinous array of drums surrounding Mm. Billy Cobham performed
two such solo spots, with keyboard
man MilehoLevievand bassist Alex
Blake each taking a turn in the
s p o t l i g h t . They were aided
throughout the remainder of the
concert by the four other members of
the group: Randy Brecker on electronically augmented trumpet;
Michael Brecker on woodwinds;
John ScofieM on guitar; and Glenn
Ferris on trombone.
Cobham gave SUNYA another
taste of the fast, loud, jazz/rock
offered by The Eleventh House and
Fusion last semester. However,
Cobham's variety is a more abstract
form of music, concentrating less on
traditional song-melody concept,
moving away from employing the
drum, bass and brass as a rhythm
section. The Billy Cobham players is
a group of seven lead instruments.
There were some prpblems with
the sound system. A lotof undesired
feedback was coming through, one
possible reason why the concert was
so short. The group only played an
hour and a half with no e n c o r e -
though it was obvious the audience
wanted one. Another sound
problem, at least for the audience,
was the volume. At times the band
plus the feedback combined to create
a loud mass of music from which the
individual instruments were indistinguishable. Due to the acoustics
of the ballroom, perhaps?
Lead Guitarist, John Scofield is
the newest member of the group, and
perhaps is not yet fully at ease with
the others, for he appeared to be not
fully into the music, and the few
leads he did take were sloppy, missing in brightness and clarity. The
band as a whole was very tight,
though, and each member was given
his spot to shine.
A much better concert could have
resulted had concert board booked
an additional group for Friday
night. Considering the three dollar
admission price and the late hour of
the concert, it doesn't seem too extreme to ask for a little more than
just ninety-five minutes of Cobham.
An opening act could also provide
variety, warm up the audience and
offer a point of comparison.
Zeppelin may not need a warm-up
act. but it would have been a better
show had there been a second group,
with Cobham as the main attraction.
Star Trek Revival?
(ZNS) Gene Roddenberry, the
creator of the T.V. series "Star
Trek," says that negotiations arc underway to make a full-length movie
version of the popular show.
The movie, says Roddenberry,
will feature the original "Star Trek"
cast, including William Shatner in
the role of Captain Kirk and
Leonard Nimoy as Officer Spock
from Vulcan.
R o d d e n b e r r y told
Sunrise
magazine that if the movie version is
successful, "Star Trek" might return
to television again—this time with
two or three specials per season, each
two-hours long.
Roddenberry's theory on evolution is that since the dawn of civilization, societies have undergone
repeated collapses and rebuildings.
He suggests that the society "Star
Trek" portrays may therefore not be
the result of an orderly and uninterrupted continuation of the 20th
century culture.
Roddenberry submits that it may
be part of society's natural processes
to crumble and be reborn.
Before a n y apocalypse,
Roddenberry suggests, a civilization
becomes "unglued," with pockets of
humans surviving the particular
holocaust and eventually constructing a new society. In this light, he
states, humanity has infinite opportunities to achieve a higher
evolutionary
plane—one
Roddenberry forsees as an intelligent species embracing the practical ability to love.

Swimmers' Hopes
With Easy Victory
by Rob Gritr
It looks as though the Albany
State swimming team might have its
first winning season in its six year
history. The mermen defeated Oswego on Saturday by a score of 59.52, to bring the overall record to a
solid 4-4.
Albany placed first in 9 out of 11
swimming events, and broke a
number of school and personal
records, definite signs of improvement for a team that is sharpening up
and preparing for the University
Center championships on February
22.
The swimmers took command at
the start of the meet by winning the
Medley relay with the team of
Siebccker, Seidenbcrg, Mitch
Rubin, and Mike Volpe. This was
the first meet Volpe wasablc to swim
since he punctured his car drum a
few weeks ago. Nevertheless, the
"Don" as his teammates call him,
was able to come through with a
strong swim as anchor for the relay.

even though each swimmer performs

Indians Scalp Great Danes 72- 57
Key Game Tonight
by Brace Maggln
For a while Saturday night, itlooked like the Albany State basketball team, was going to pull off the
area upset of the year. The Great
Danes played the darlings of the
Capital District, Siena College,
evenly for the first twenty minutes.
But in the second half, Albany ran
out of miracles and Siena rolled to a
72-57 victory.
4500 fans packed Siena's new field
house, including a large contigent of
Albany State fans. Potter Club was
there with their traditional "EEP
thinks Siena Sucks" banner and they
' led the pro Albany chants.
The Danes were sparkling in the
first half, as they played solid textbook basketball. Ed Johnson and

Albany didn't help itself in the second half. Morphis picked up two
quick fouls and he was on the bench
with four personals. Koola had to be
careful as he was playing with three
fouls. The Danes' offense in this half
came to a standstill. Albany could
not penetrate and ended up taking
poor outside shots. Often these shots
missed the basket. The team also had
the tendency to play one-on-one
basketball.
The biggest problem for Albany
was its lack of rebounding in this
half, as Siena completely dominated
the boards. The Indians were getting
two or three shots at the basket
before convcrtiing.Holle and Smith
were just too much for the Danes.
This all showed on the scoreboard,
as Siena outscorcd the Danes 23-9
from the start of the half.
The Danes tried dcsparatcly to get
back into the game. But there was
nobody there who could imitate the
Byron Miller heroics of a year ago.
Johnson and Supronowitz were
completely off target as Siena widened its lead to 19 points, before starting a slowdown. A couple of late
buckets by Gary T revolt closed the
gap to 15 nl the buzzer.
Walters led both teams in scoring,
us he chipped in 25 points, 19 coming
in the all important second half.
Smith und Holle combined for 33
rebounds us Siena outrebounded
Albany. 51-32.
For the Danes, il wus nol one of
their better performances. Johnson
was high man with 18 points but was
ineffective in the second half. Koola
played one of his better games of the
year, but he was hampered by foul
trouble. Trevett, the Danes best ball
handler and Suprunowitz, one of the
Danes besl shooters, both hud

SA To Fight 9% Board Hike
by David I.truer
Stud cm Association President
Pal Curran has confirmed that a
committee of the Faculty Student
Association Board ol Directors will
recommend a 9% board hike at its
Hoard meeting on Tuesday.
Cumin's statement has removed
all doubts aboul the status of the
proposed meal contract rate increase, which began when reports
from FSA indicated that Directorol
the Isix-million dollar company
Norbert Zahm was in lavor of a
board increase to subsidize an an-
ticipated loss due to the costs of inflation.
Cumin said however, that S.A.
plans to deal definitely on ihc issue,
citing a Central Council resolutionpassed Wednesday which would censure any student member of the FS A
hoard which voted in lavor ol the
meal increase. It is possible that
three of the live undergraduate student members of the hoard will vote
for the increase. Cumin said that all
student members will be informed of
Council's resolution today, and
threatened that he would ask Jura

Ken Wax. a member of Council.
"I he I'airoon Room is slill the best

"There has not been one suggestion

other than studenl vitamins." Wax
said, "faculty and administration

None til the students on the Board

comment on the Council threat, but
even with all live undergraduates
voting against the hike, a majority of
seven still remains which could support the proposed hike. One of the
seven is ihe graduate representative
I om Clingan. Dean of Student Affairs Neil Brown, also on the Hoard,
is reported lo have been against the
hoard increase if Zahm makes no
other effort lo cut back on corporate
expenses.
Student leaders have been pushing
loi elimination ol ihe barbershop, a
consisienl money loser which
Curran says has little student appeal.
Other proposals call for ihe sale of
Mohawk campus, and large price increases in ihc I'airoon Room.
Council Chairperson Lew Fidler
said that S.A. will threaten to
withdraw a SI80,000 loan it made to
FSA if Ihe board increase proposal is
not withdrawn. Though a drastic
step which potentially could ruin the
corporation, Fidler, and, he believes,
Council, will threaten FSA with the.
withdrawal to demonstrate the
seriousness of their position.
