Union Kicks Danes, 69-58
by Michael Smtih
This was supposed to be the game
Albany State paid back area-rival
Union College for the 72—49
blowout the Dutchmen laid on the
Danes in January's Capital District
Tournament.
Well, if Albany is intent on using
Tuesday night's effort at University
Gym to dear up its old debt, the
payoff check the Danes use will
probably bounce from here to
Schenectady.
Bill Scanlon's Union club buried
Albany for the second time this
season Tuesday, 69—58, leaving no
doubt as to which team owns the
bragging rights locally for the coming year.
If you're searching for a reason as
to why Union dominated the Danes
again, you won't find the answer in
the offensive arithmetic from the
scoring sheets.
Albany shot 30 percent from the
field, usually a game-winning mark,
hit 80% from thefoul-line(12for 15),
outrebounded the Dutchmen 32—
26, and posted 15 assists to Union's
six.
The tell-tale statistic, this time,
was the turnover column—Albany
22, Union 12.To put that figure in
perspective, if you concede the
Danes would have made 50% of the
total number of shots they were
denied, then Albany mistakes cost its
club at least 20 points, maybe more.
"On any normal night you expect
10 or 12 turnovers," Bill Scanlon
said later. "Tonight State made too
many mistakes and we were for-

State started the evening like they
intended to settle the score with the
rival. Dutchmen. A Bob Audi
patented' layup, Barry Cavanaugh's
h o o p off a steal by Mike
Suprunowicz and Brian Barker's
jumper gave Albany a quick 6—1
lead.
Kevin Keane's layup at 13:48 gave
the Danes a 9—5 cushion. But when
Pete Meola scored for Union two
minutes later, giving the Dutchmen
their first lead at 10—9, the Danes
would never catch up and only Mike
Suprunowicz's pretty spinning
floater at 11:36 prevented Union
from running off 15 unanswered
points.
Union broke fast once the second
half began. Six minutes past intermission the Dutchmen opened up a
44—33 lead, on baskets by five
different players.
After a Doc Sauers' time-out,
Albany made its last serious bid,
scoring eight straight points to close
to 44—41 at 10:56.
Enter Steve Kelly.
The 6 foot 3 inch Union senior
from Port Washington stole the
show and the game for his team. In a
six-minulc span Kelly hit 10 consecutive points via five errorless
shots, most under extreme defensive

Women Gymnasts Roll On
by Christine BeUIni
Facing their busiest weekend
schedule, the Albany State Women's
Gymnastics team skillfully captured
three of the four meets and broke
one uneven bar.
The gymnasts competed in a
three-way meet January 23 against
Hofstra and Hunter colleges, downing Hunter, 46.85—28.30, but losing by one point to Hofstra.
The breakage of the uneven bars
(no injuries) resulted in a three-piece
meet; the beam, vaulting and floor
exercise.
Although the total results were
low for all three teams, Albany:
46.85, Hofstra; 47.9, and Hunter:
28.30 points, Coach Edith Cobaneis
confident of the team's improvement.
"We're not scoring as well as we
should on the balance beam, but the
team is solid," said Cobane, "We're
aiming for the 70*1,"
Carla Landsman and Patty
Kampbell took second and third
places on the beam. Cathie Caperna
and Julie Acton gave Albany third
and fourth places in the vaulting.
Finishing up on the floor for Albany
was Carla Landsman (6.56) second,
and Barbara Hommel was third.
On the following day Albany
traveled to Queens College and
dumped the city gymnasts by 16
points, 63.10—47.60.
"We really cleaned up on that
one," says Cobane, "It shows an increase in confidence."
Competing in all four events
(including the unevens), Albany
took first and second on the floor
thanks to Landman's (6.9) and
Hommel's perfected routines.
Albany captured first and second
places on the unevens, Caperna
finishing with the top score of 6.28
points.
But that wasn't the end of it, as the
team traveled to Stony Brook Sunday and won its third meet of the
weekend.
Getting closer to that 70 point goal
with each meet, Albany's team
scored a commendable 66.7 points
against Stony Brook's 51.45 points.
Caperna once again led the sweep
on the beam with 5.05 points for
first, followed by Tracey Baker and
Cindy Cobane in second and third
places. A successful team of Caperna
and Acton look the uneven and

"I knew 1 had the hot hand," Kelly
said. "And the guys were looking

"We just made sure Steve got the

So much for strategy.

The Albany State junior varsity
basketball team defeated their Union College counterparts 82—75,
Tuesday at University Gym.
The first half was a see-saw battle,
as the lead changed handsfivetimes.
Albany had difficulty with outside
shooting, contrasting the hot hand
of Union's Mark Rekucki. Rekucki,
a freshman, scored 19 points in the
first half and plays both JV and varsity games. Dave Landrey led a
balanced Albany first half attack
with six points. Union held a 30—28

The officiating at Tuesday's Albany-Union varsity basketball game was
horrendous. It had no effect onthe score—Union outplayed Albany.and any

display at $50 a head.
Giving the players machetes, switchblades, and handguns, and then
adopting a "call your own fouls" method of enforcement, would have been an
improvement. The worst intramural officiating has never approached
Tuesday's version.
The duty of an official is to keep the game under control, and the UnionAlbany contest was an out of control free-for-all after thefirst five minutes of
play. Bodies rolled, faces were raked, and elbows flew all night without the

President Emmett Fields officially
closed the university at 7:45"yesterday morning. His reason was simple.
'Nobody could get to school."
University buses weren't running,
leaving off-campus students off campus. Icy roads, poor visibility and
blustering winds immobilized many
faculty and student motorists.
One thing, though, was virtually
unaffected. The Quad cafeterias
were in operation yesterday
morning—understaffed but still dishing out.
"I'm sorry it [SUNYA] had to

were experiencing a hard New York
day. Maybe everyone got caught up
with their work."

Tenure Case Draws Faculty Response
by C. S. Sintino
According to his colleagues in the
English department, Michael Kaufman has presented the strongest case
for tenure in years.
He will probably be fired by June,
1977.
The reason, says Kaufman, who
awaits President Emmett B. Fields'
final decision in his case, has nothing
to do with his teaching or
scholarship, which many cite as being beyond reproach.
Kaufman feels he is the "victim of
questionable procedures," used by
the administration, "in an effort to
fire junior English professors and
save the graduate program."
Fields, following the recommendations of an outside evaluator's
report submitted last fall, is pushing
to reregister SUNYA's English doctoral program. The program wasterminated in December by Education
Commissioner Ewald B. Nyquist.
The report effectively calls for the
hiring of a separate graduate faculty
at the expense of at least a half dozen
junior faculty members. Jerry Paris
and Victor Chang of the English
department have already been
notified that their contracts will not
be renewed.
Kaufman's tenure case, which
began last fall, has been beset by
controversy, paradox, and unusual
The report also praises Kaufman for
organizing the Humanities lounge.
Kaufman's case came before the
College of Arts and Sciences Faculty
Personnel Committee on December
4. This is the second step in tenure
proceedings.
In what -Vice President for
Academic Affairs Philip Sirotkin
himself admitted was an un-.
precedented move, Sirotkin
appeared before that committee to
read "relevant portions" of the
cvaluators' report on the reregistration of SUNY's English
Ph.D. program.
The committee voted 6-0 to deny
Kaufman tenure and 6-0 to deny
promotion, citing Kaufman's
Shakespeare scholarship as "illregarded" and his other articles as
"insignificant."
Kaufman asserts that there is "a

Kaufman passed the first hurdle of
the four-step tenure process, the
departmental review, last October.
The English department voted 49 to
4 in favor of tenure and 30 to l9for
promotion.
The recommendation called Kaufman "a devoted and highly effective
teacher" who has "a remarkable
range and sureness, a supple and
flexible mind." The report also
acclaimed his published articles as
"pioneering work."
"He is active in the department,
has a sense of community, and has
built an enviable word-of-mouth
reputation here," the report states.
High Profits Could Mean Board Cut

Planning Vice President John Hartley, Center, al Wednesday's Board
meeting. At left is student Board member Sandy Volt.
by Bob Wong
FSA may decrease their board
rates next semester due to excess
profits. These profits were largely a
result of the eight percent hike passed by the FSA Board of Directors
last year.
At the Faculty-Student Association Board meeting last Wednesday,
Vice President of Management and
Planning John Hartley surprised
student leaders by asking the Directors "to consider the possibility of a
reduction in the board rates."
The food service operations have
made $100,000 more than they did
last year at this time.
According to FSA General
Manager E. Norbert Zahm, the quad
food service operations made a net
income of $257,416 for the last six
months of 1975, as compared to a
$166,843 net income for the last six
months of 1974.
The $257,4l6comprises 156.6% of
the entire net income for the food
service operations. It was projected
to cover only 50%.
It was suggested by a few of the
Directors thai the excess in the net
income might be returned to the
students. FSA Director Greg Lessnc
says there was "talk of rebates."

I'he cost of getting soused at the
Rathskeller decreased M o n d a y as
the result of n resolution passed by
the l-'SA Hoard of Directors.
This ruling represented a c o m promise between Faculty-Student
Association General Manager E.
Norberl Z a h m a n d F S A Board
President Stu Klein. It was passed
last Wednesday with ten Board
members in favor a n d none against.
There were t w o abstentions.
According t o Klein, t he reason for
the move was based on the sixmonth financial statement for F S A
ending December 3 1 , 1975. It was
discovered that the bur had revenues
of over $10,000. t h o u g h it had only
been open for nine weeks.
The bar has a projected profit line
of $16,600 for 1975-76. At the present rate, the bar would easily exceed
that figure by the enu" of'thls'Hcrm'.'"
According t o Klein, " W e ' r e not in
business t o make money. The money
will he used t o cover up other
money-losing items like Dippikill
and M o h a w k C a m p u s , "
During the meeting, Z a h m noted
that the reduced prices
would be
"special prices for the Rathskeller t o
see what will happen. I don't know
what it will d o . "
Afterwards though, Z a h m expressed apprehension, saying that
the lower prices could create a point
of conflict between the Rathskeller
Bar and off-campus bars.
A similar situation existed at
SUNY Buffalo with their record coop, which was highly competitive
w i t h off-campus
record stores.
Recently, the co-op was forced t o

guilty t o charges of criminal possession of stolen p r o p e r t y a n d burglary
in t h e second degree. The burglary
charge was reduced t o criminal
trespass. T h e defendants received
sentences of six, six, a n d nine
months. T h e nine m o n t h s ' sentence
received by o n e of t h e burglars was
attributed t o the positive identification m a d e by a sUlteniate at t he scene
of t h e crime.
The burglars were non-student
Schenectady residents, described as
black males in their early twenties.
They entered a twentieth floor suite
of Eastman lit about 11:30 p . m .
One of the suite's residents, who
wishes t o remain a n o n y m o u s , heard
a loud crash from t h e adjoining
room belonging t o t h e victims,
Russell S c h w a r t z a n d Richard
F o r e m a n . H e said he had been
studying in his r o o m with t h e d o o r
closed, but had rushed out in t i m e t o
see t w o of the burglars, one of whom
h e later identified, r u n n i n g from the
suite.
After the burglars exited via the
stairs, t h e s u i t c m a t e r a n t o a
neighboring suite, where Schwartz
and F o r e m a n were visiting friends.
After relating t h e incident t o them,
the unknowing victims replied in unison, " O h really."
Walter Dcmpsey, Resident Assistant for the t o p section of t h e tower
was also in the r o o m . He wasted no
time.
Immediately Dempscy j u m p e d t o
the p h o n e and called Sally Burner,the director on d u t y and told her
what hud occurred. B o r n e r t o l d him

Quick action by students a n d University Police resulted i n t h e c a p t u r e
of three burglars shortly after their
exit from E a s t m a n Tower o n S t a t e
Quad last Tuesday, J a n u a r y 27.
The burglars were a p p r e h e n d e d
seconds after e n t e r i n g their c a r i n
front of the Q u a d , according t o
Detective J o h n Coleman of Security. T h e stolen items were a t a p e
recorder and calculator, valued
together at approximately $500, a n d
a checkbook.
T h e y all were
recovered lit the time of the arrest,
said Coleman,
In a court hearing the following
Thursday, all three burglars pleaded

change its policies t o a c c o m o d a t e the
off-campus business.
However. Klein believes no one
will
complain
about
the
Rathskeller's lower prices.
The price reductions which will
vary between 5 percent and 16 percent are only one facet in what Z a h m
calls a n overall plan, w h i c h " . . .will
make the place more attractive t o
students."
At t h e present time, over $7,000
has been spent t o refurnish the whole
Rathskeller, with an additional $1,000 being spent for a new s o u n d
system. Altogether, the costs of these
and various other innovations will
be approximalcly'S25,000.
Rathskeller Committee
To make the area more appealing
to students, Z a h m has expressed a
desire t o form a committee t o work
with him in the running of the
'Rathskeller.''
"•'•"••v J (i
The committee, like the old Campus Center Governing
Board
(CCGB), would be comprised mostly of students. The C C G B was
responsible for r e c o m m e n d i n g the
building of the Rathskeller Bar, a n d
has since been dissolved.
Jay
Miller, a n F S A Board
member, gave a dissenting opinion.
"I don't think that's necessary,
because it might become t o o centralized," said Miller. " T h e way it is
now . . . with several Student
Association committees advising,
may be a litte difficult for Mr. Zahm,
but it is good. In t h e event that t w o
committees are in disagreement,
then we [the committees and Mr.
Zahm] can meet together t o deal
with an issue."
Burglar Tracking
Horner and her husband s a w the
burglars exit the tower and followed
them t o their car. Taking d o w n the
license number, they saw Security
coming. The couple motioned them
t o t he c a r of the alleged burglars. The
burglars were arrested without difficulty at the scene.
According t o those involved,
llowslty
Walter Dempsey, Resident Assistant lor Eastman Tower's top section,
was Instrumental In capturing the three State Quad burglars.
Waller Dempsey was the hero of the
episode. His quick action in calling
Burner a n d Security was a decisive
factor in t h e capture. " N o w we call
him Dialing Dempscy," kidded
Schwartz.
The Bus Was There...and wasn't
by Sue Emerson
SUN YA student Susan Skorulski
waited for the 11:10 Wellington bus
last Wednesday morning. It never
came.
' . ,i,. i.
While she waited for another bus,
Skorulski explained, " T h e
Wellington bus today was supposed
to leave the circle at 11:10. and I got
out of class at 11:00. . .Iran. There
was no Wellington bus, so now I'm
having to wait for half an hour for a
Wellington bus that was supposed to
be here. I'd say it was probably supposed to be here about 11:05, and I
was out here."
Skorulski finally caught an 11:30
bus.
Motor Pool Supervisor Jack
Olsen explained what happened to
the 11:10 Wellington run on January
28.
According to him, the driver who
makes the morning Wellington runs
has a coffee break at 11:10 and is
replaced for that run by a driver who
has been making Draper runs all
morning.
According to Olsen, this means
that the relief driver "may not have
had a Wellington bus sign in his bus
or may have forgotten to put it up."
Olsen maintained that, although improperly marked, the 11:10
Wellington run was there on the
morningthat Skorulski waited for it.
In reference to the bus's improper
marking, Plant Superintendent Ira
DeVoe commented, "Sounds like
maybe we goofed."
Olsen offered additional explanations for buses which are
allegedly late. "Some of these people
[waiting for buses] aren't paying
attention or lose track of time," says
Olsen. "You've got a variance in
watches," he adds. Olsen maintains
that "given a given situation, I can
defend each bus."
Given the hypothetical situation
of an 11:05 Draper run which does
not leave until 11:20 Olsen explains,
"1 would doubt very, very, very
much that the 11:05 is 15 minutes
late."
One student who wishes to remain
anonymous commented,"I've heard
the bus drivers say that it is really
hard to make the [Draper] run in 20
minutes."
Olsen denies that his drivers are
not given sufficient time to make
their runs.
Allowing for traffic conditions,
Olsen claims, "You show me the
driver that can't make those runs in
reasonable weather, and I think he's
in the wrong profession."
According to DeVoe, the schedule
is designed for good weather conditions. "You can't plan for the exception," he says. "We never had a
problem at all Inst semester."
Everyone seems to have
something to say about the buses:
Saysjunior Jeanne Suiewitz,"The
buses have been victims [of] poor
planning. I'he number of buses that
run at the prescribed time of classes
is not proportionately correct."
Olsen maintains that he is never
given any information regarding
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
when classes arc being given or how
many students are enrolled in
specific classes.
Asked if such information could
be incorporated into the bus
schedule Olsen says, "I don't know.
I've never had it to work with. The
only thing I have to work with is my
past experience."
Not all student comments regarding the bus service have been
derogatory. On the question of
whether off-campus studchts should
be allowed to ride the SUNYA
buses, off-campus student Ellen
Sorrcntino says, "I think we're pretty
lucky to have the buses that come
down that far because actually the
buses, I thought, were onlytorunfor
the downtown dorm students and
the Wellington."
According to Saiewitz, "A whole
culture has almost arisen around the
bus line."
Whilestudcnts are waiting for and
talking about the buses, student
leaders are attempting to effect
changes in the present schedule.
According to Alumni Quad Board
Representative Bryant Monroe, it
has been suggested that buses wait
between runs at Alumni Quad instead of at Draper Hall, inthe hopes
that more Alumni students will be
able to catch their buses.
DeVoe says, "We're looking into
that, and we'd like very much to do
that."
Although problems with parking
regulations in the city of Albuny
prevented such a move several years
ago, DeVoe claims, "One of our people is now writing to the Albany
Traffic Division to see if we can do
that."
Regarding student suggestions in
general DeVoe says, "Any good input we get is taken into consideration." He adds, "You can't please
everybody with the facilities we
have. Nothing is a cure-all except
money."
Olsen suys of his schedule," By no
meansdo I say it's perfect, If there's a
problem, it's being taken care of to
the best of our ability."

tow Khoot acceptances. Four of
these six applied to three or less tow
schools, which implies their pursuit
•if other goals betides tow school.
Overall, 57 percent of all
applications sent out by those
responding to the survey resulted in
acceptances.
The average Law School Aptitude
Test score of SUNYA students who
took the test in 1975 was 570. The
national average was 520. In addition. 35-40 percent of SUNYA's
scores fell in the notable 600-plus
range, compared to 25 percent
national!).
A good deal of this success can be
attributed to the efficient work done
by Bob Gibson of the Pre-law AdAMP
visory Committee. His accessibility,
experience, and bis accumulation of
data regarding the successes of past
SUNYA school applicants allows
Gibson to provide effective and accurate counseling.
'J simply si! down with the student
and help him or her decide which
schools to apply to so that the
greatest 'return rate' can be achieved " explained Gibson.
Gibson supplies his advisees with
a chart of all law schools to which
SUNYA students have applied, their
grades, and the results. Using these,
the student can judge what his own
chances of acceptance will be for
each law school which he has considered applying to. Gibson stresses
the importance of subjective
criteria—extracurricular activities
and work experience—in gaining
acceptance to law school. This
applies especially in borderline
cases.
There are two widely believed
COUNSUOR
'Do-Nothing'Candidate
fallacies regarding admission to law
school. One is that it helps to be a
political science major. Another is
that being in student government
gives your application a big boost.
Statistics show both these beliefs to
be false.
Optimism Warranted
There are reasons for SUNYA's
law school aspirantsto be optimistic.
Large numbers of SUNYA students
have been placed in lawschoolsln recent years and t heir success has gi yen
us a good name. In addition, some
former SUNYA students have made
it to the admissions boards of their
respective law schools.
Another bright spot is that it
appears that the recent escalation of
standards for admission to law
schools appears to have ended.
The more applications they
receive, the more choosy law schools
can be. But after years of a steadyincrease in the number of applications.

Editor's Note: When the DoNothing Parly announced that its
1976 Presidential candidate would
be giving a press conference Wednesday at the Capitol, everyone came to
find out what was going on. The
following is one reporter's account
of what happens when a political
parly actually lives up to its name.
"Uh, sir, Where's the LOB Press
Room please?"
"Downstairs, to your right.
What's going on there?'
"It's the Do-Nothing Party. Utah
Something-or-other is running for

hobo, and ex-Peace and Freedom
candidate for the U.S. Senate from
Utah.
According to a Rolling Stone article about him and a short political
profilefrom Playboy, included in the
press release, Utah's real name is

him as the Golden Voice of the Great

is destined to be lukewarm in

policy of " M a s s a g e Parlor

"our allies have been rubbed the

his foreign policy will be as "offen-

China Will Fill Plate of Future
by Edward Moser
"The 20th has been the American
century . . . As I look to the 21st, I
think China will be equal to or
greater than America or Russia,"
said Dr. Mann-Chiang Niu,
professor of Biology at Temple University. In a lecture here Thursday,
Niu spoke of China's cgalitarianism,
progress, independence, and what he
called its future greatness.
In his four visits to the Chinese
mainland si nee 1972, Niu says he was
cspcciallyimpiesscd by China's open
door system of education. According to him, it stresses, "not only the
principle, but the practical aspect" of
learning.
In medicine, says Niu, prospective
doct ors "si udy in the classroom for a
certain time, then go to the countryside . . . where they learn [their
trade| from the workers and the
peasants." The purpose in this is to
"close the gap between city and
country, peasant and urban dweller,
so that everyone can be the same."
Niu said the results of such efforts
were remarkable. Staying with
health care as an example, Niu explained how everyone in China is
equal.
"Every family puts in a dollar to
cover the family's health care for a
year . . . Young doctors in mobile
teams arc sent to the countryside to
look for patients," said Niu."Inmost
other [countries], the patient has to
come to seethe doctor. . .here if a
hospital is overcrowded, the patient
is turned away.
"Everywhere' you go In China,"
said Niu, "you see slogans urging
[the Chinese] to rely on their efforts, file professor cited figures on
oil and agriculture which he said
proved the Chinese arc accomplishing t lii s goal of independence.
Niu told of the male workers in
desolate Manchuria who had built
machinery to extract oil while the
female laborers had cleared theland
around the oil fields.
"Now, half a million workers
supply much of their own food," said
Niu. "Soon they'll be self-sufficient."
New Progress No Lie
He claimed that, as statistical projections for 1980 show, the Chinese
will have quadrupled their grain
production in the post-revolutionary
period, and that China will start to
export grain in the next few years.
"When you hear what they (the
Chinese) say, you had belter believe
them," said Niu. as if sensing his
audience of about 45 people might
be skeptical of his claims. "Because

Niu commented on what he called
him. "for every gallon of gas used
the great disparity in wealth between in the two countries.

LETTUCE HEADS
A Maryland drug researcher is
attempting toturn us into a nation of
lettuce heads.
Bill Olmsted, the operator of a
company called "Natural Enterprizes", claims that he can manufacture a form of legal opium out of
plain, ordinary lettuce.
Olmsted has taken out a series of
ads in alternative papers around the
U.S., offering either to sell the instructions, or the opium itself. According to the amateur chemist,
several college botany books have
published the procedure for producing a mildly-intoxicating opium out
of endive or escarole lettuce.
Olmsted suggests that the only
way to outlaw his product is to outlaw the lettuce too. He explains: "To
make an ounce the really proper
way, it takes six hours, five heads of
lettuce and four gas burners going
full blast."
LETHAL BED
A California woman is charging
that her husband attempted to kill
her -with a waterbed.
Cheryl Bates of Mountain View
reportedly told police that her husband, Mark, had arrived home
shortly after midnight-thoroughly
intoxicated. The woman saidthal an
argument ensued and her husband
ZODIAC n
chased her into the bedroom, and
flung her on their waterbed. Cheryl
Bates says her husband proceeded to
cut the bed with a knife and tried to
shove her head into the water.
Police report that the woman's
husband's story was somewhat
different: Mark Bates explained to
officers that he wasn't trying to
drown his wife—but that he had
fallen down and was merely tryingto
right himself by putting his hand on
his wife's head for leverage, when it
went through the mattress.
C.I.A. NEWSPERSONS
Variety Magazine reports that
numerous news correspondents and
journalists for American television
networks and wire services secretly
work for the CI. A. in exchange for
pay, or just for news scoops and exclusive tips provided by the agency.
Karierv says that C.I.A. Director
William Colby has recently denied to
Congressional Committees that fulltime newspersons are currently on
the payroll of the C.I.A.
However, the magazine alleges
that House and Senate investigators
have established that many full-time
correspondents are regularly
debriefed by the C.I.A. when they
return from abroad. The publication
says that "payments" in return for
such debridings come "In some
cases as a direct salary." Other
payments reportedly include the
reimbursement of travel and hotel
bills or "gratis scoops" on stories
which the agency wants leaked.
Variety quotes one investigator as
saying the C.I.A. even resorts to outright blackmail to keep correspondents in line. The magazine
says that reporters who balk at continuing to spy for the C.I.A. have
been known to receive warnings that
their previous work with the C.I.A.
will be revealed if they attempt to
quit.
Ask Procter & Gamble
what you can do
with your BA degree!
TWINKY ADDICTION
In the magazine's words, "The
not-so-veiled threats such as these
have prompted a conspiracy of
silence among the press that isjoined
by top management, some of whom
established C.I.A. liaison while
working through the ranks."
One former C.B.S. and A.B.C.
correspondent, Sam Jaffe, recently
admitted to working withthe F.B.I.
NARK BUSTED
A former government prosecutor
was busted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration this week
after he strolled into the Federal
Building in San Francisco and
publicly puffed away on a marijuana
cigarette.
The former Government attorney,
Dennis Boas, told Federal Officials
he was smoking the weed in a
Government building to test the
Constitutionality of Federal Pot
laws. Boas sited provisions in the
Declaration of Independence, which
guarantee the rights of "life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness", as giving him the right to use the outlawed
weed.
Boas stated that when he
prosecuted marijuana cases for the
government seven years ago, about a
third of his colleagues in the
prosecutor's office were regular
marijuana users in private.

But this hasn't stopped the
Twinkie craze: the Journal reports
that it has gotten to the point where
an annual International Twinkie
Festival is held in Rochester,
Minnesota, featuring — among
other things — a Twinkie Derby in
which contestants equip the cakes
v/ith toothpick axles and wheels.

Here and Now
by Bob Wong
Theater is the most immediate of
the performing arts. As one actor put
it, it has the quality of being "here
and now."
In ihe entire realm of theater there
is none so endearingtothe principle
of "here and now" as the improvisational group.
Such a group performed at the

It Feels So Good
by Keith GVa'ham
at*
Picked up Grover Washington's new album and he
continues the funky sound. The album is titled It Feels
So Good and, as usual, includes strong backup
performers, including Bob James, Eric Gale, Randy
Brecker, and Jon Faddis. Faddis is a young brother who
has been receiving rave notices for his trumpet work
with Oscar Peterson.
The album is mostly funk, with side two being the
funkiest. It's interesting that percussionist Ralph
MacDouald is the man behind the new sound of
Washington. He wrote Mister Magic and co-wrote It
Feels So Good. The former was released as a single and
the latter may also be released. Both were tilled cuts
which made each album sell.
Washington again shines on sax and the music puts
you in a good mood. Unlike other jazz musicians
playing soul, Washington strongly maintains the lead
on his album.
The disco scene has brought back old songs like
"Baby Face" and "Tangerine" among others. Now it's
bringing back groups like Archie Bell and the Drells.
You remember them, with hits like "Tighten Up" and "I
Can't Stop Dancing."
They faded for awhile, and now return with "Dance
Your Troubles Away" on the Philly label. The music is
m o s t l y d i s c o and was wrilMn by the
Whitehead/ McFadden machine (lately these guys have
been writing a lot of songs for the Philly sound). With
MFSB (who else), in Ihe background, the album comes
off well.
However, I would question seeing the group in
PAGE TEN
concert, they can sing, but they aren't that strong
vocally. In the studio they don't have to be outstanding
singers with MFSB supplying the beat. In concert, you
have to replace them with studio musicians most of'the
time. If the band isn't good, then you are left with the
Drells. Good Luck!
Harvey Mason has an album out entitled Marching
In The Street on the Arista label. He's a veteran
drummer who deserves a chance for stardom of his own.
The dude can play different kinds of music well.
Look for Ihe LTG Exchange possibly moving up.
Formerly a little known disco group on a little known
label, they are now on RCA.
They released Susie Heart breaker (Ghetto Child), a
black rock operetta which is a pretty nice album. RCA
makes good recordings, helping the group's soilnd, and
they should benefit from the belter promotion staff.
Checked out Lola Fulanaonthetubcandsawalotof
talent. She needs her own music to really make it big...
I don't know who owns the CTI/KUDU label, but I
have noticed that they usually don't picture their white
artists on their album covers. Even stranger is that they
don't even picture some of ihem on the inside cover.
Ohio Players have been turning out albums like an
assembly line. The released Rattlesnake recently and it
doesn't seem too long ago that they released Honey,..
WFLY-FM 92.5 is playing a whole album each night at
eleven. The albums arc mostly rock, with soul and jazz
mixed in at times. A good station for progressive music
lovers. Later!

PAC Saturday, January 31. Called
The Proposition, this group is composed of four actors; two women and
two men, and a piano player. Working in a manner reminiscent of the
Italian Commcdia dell'arte, this
company improvisizes songs and
acts in various skils.
Before each skit the players ask
the audience for various specifics: a
name, an idea, an obsession. The
company then creates action using a
preset formula.
The skits cun only be as good or
bad as the suggestions from the
audience. The most imaginative
response from the audience was a
person named King Kong. This idea
was translated into an Italian opera
where King Kong is locked outside
of his apartment wearing a pair of
jockey shorts.
Of course the players themselves
did a great deal to improve the play.
For example: says a man,"My darling, there is so much electricity
between us . . ." Says the woman,
"WattT'
To review The Proposition is difficult. It is hard to pin down a plot
because it is improvised. 1 suppose
the actors have u great deal of
character and improvisation does
take a great deal of thought. In the
course of the hour and a half people
do speak, tell jokes and inflict horrible punishment on the audience in
the form of a few well placed puns.
There was a great deal of music and I
did need my spectacles.
Ihe Proposition was not as good a
show as last year. 'Ihe actors at times
lost themselves while telling a story
and some of the pantomime was not
convincing.
However it should be remembered
that improvised action is only as
good as the audience that plays
along.

fine without o n e if y o u just stay calm and tell
your story as dearly as possible. It is on your
facts that the case is decided.
12. What Happens If The Other Person
Does Not Show Up At All?
You win. If the other party in the case does not
appear, the judge may still ask you some
questions to determine if you have a legitimate
complaint and probably will grant you a
default judgement. If you don't come to the
hearing, your claim will be dismissed.
13. What WW The Judge Ask? What Are
The Procedures Involved?
>
5>
CO
H
G
O
w
z
»
m
CO
CO
The presiding judge (either the Honorable
Thomas M. Whalen ll, of the Honorable John
J. Yanas, or the Honorable Morton M. Z.
Lyn) will swear in both parties and then
proceed with questions. The judge will first
ask the person who filed the claim to state
his/her side of the story. Be calm and stick to
the facts, don't get overly emotional. Then the
second party has a chance to tell his/her side
of the story. Remember, do not interrupt. You
will have a chance to challenge his/her
statements whens/hefinishes.Thejudgemay
then ask questions to clarify the important
points. Basically, the court procedure involves
two people tellingtheir sides of a disagreement
and a judge making a decision about what
should be done. After all the questions, each
party will have a chance to say a final word,
summarizing their positions.
Witnesses arc helpful in court, even ones
who are related to you. If a witness cannot
appear in court, have a written statement
drawn up and the both of you present it to a
notary public for notarization. Thejudge may
accept this as evidence. Of course it is much
better to have the witness in court. The day
before court, call up all your witnesses to remind them of your trial.
A word of pre-advice: If you are involved in
a problem that might wind up in Small Claims
Court, write complaint letters. Don't just
phone. (For example, if you bought a pair of
expensive boots that fell apart after two day's
wear, write the shoe store a letter detailing the
problem and asking for a refund or exchange.
In this way you have written proof that you
tried to solve the problem.) Keep copies of all
receipts, letters and any other documents you
might need.
14. What Should I Bring To Court?
>
w
CO
Anything to prove your point. Bring
witnesses, letters, documents, written estimates, or anything else to show that your
daim and the amount you are asking for is
reasonable. Your proof must show that the
person you are suing owes you money or that
the person sold you damaged goods or that the
person performed services poorly. It is possible to subpoena (force the appearance of)
witnesses or documents under the control of
the other party. If you need to do this, ask the
Small Claims Court Clerk about it. It is a simple procedure, but does not cost money.
If you tried to settle the problem out of
court, tell the judge. This will show that you
tried to be reasonable.
15. How And When Will I Hear About The
Results Of My Case?
After listening t o your case the judge has
t w o choices—he can give his d e d s i o n right
away (while you're still in court) or he can
reserve d e d s i o n . Reserving a dedsion means
that he will send you away, later review the
facts and then notify both parties by mail of
his dedsion. T h e j u d g e can take as long as he
wants t o make the dedsion. but usually you
will hear within t w o months.
16. Can I Appeal?
Either person may appeal, but if y o u filed
the d a i m and lost, there usually is no point in
appealing unless you f e d t h e j u d g e was really
unfair t o you. It costs $2.00 t o start an appeal
and the case is then sent t o the County Court
which has regular court procedures. If y o u
wish t o appeal, speak t o a lawyer.
17. I've Won. How Do I Collect?
The court will teU the other party, either in
court or in the letter of dedsion, that payment
Hiring a Lawyer for a Substantial
Legal Work:
is due within 30 days. TH E S MALL CLAIMS
HAS NO COLLECTION RESPONSIBILITIES. If payment does not come
within the spedfied time you must take action
to collect. Go back to the small Claims Court
Clerk. You will be able to obtain an ' .ncome
execution (this is a claim to moneyfrom a person's salary), a property execution (claiming
personal property in the amount you are due).
or to attach ais / her bank account. For this
attempt at collection, you must supply the
Small Claims Court with the person's work or
bank reference. You must pay a Constable's
fee for the constable of the court to collect the
amount due on the execution or attachment.
This fee is no more tnan S10. (Note: the person
you are trying to sue must earn at least S85 a
week before any money may be taken from
his her salary. No execution may be filed
against persons who are on welfare aid, pension, compensation, etc.) If the constable is
able to get some money, it is put in a spedal account for you. which you will receive only
when the full amount due has been collected.
A Court judgment is valid for 6 years, and an
execution remains in effect until all the money
is collected or the person changes his/her job
or bank account. Don't let these collection
procedures discourage you, however, since
most people will immediately pay the amount
which the court has ordered. The person you
sue is most likely a member of the community
and would have more trouble than it is worth
if s h e tried to withhold payment.
Copies of the excellent Shopper's Guide to
Lawyers can be obtained by sending 26 cents
postage to the Pennsylvania Insurance
Department, Harrisburg, Pa. I7180. It
recommends that you question any lawyer
about his experience, see whet hers/he can explain the case to you in plain English instead of
legalese. and find out (l) how s/he might approach the case if s/he were arguing against
you instead of for you. and (2) whether s/he
has any conflicts of interest that could affect
the case.
The booklet also recommends reaching a
clear understanding about what the fee will be
and having this put in writing Ask for an
itemized bill for all services rendered and expenses incurred on your behalf.
A U.S. Supreme Court decision ruled that
bar associations can't fix prices for various
kinds of legal work. In some respects this
makes it very difficult for any one to know in
advance just how much legal work will cost.
One Albany attorney has offered a rough price
schedule, although the final cost will depend
on nature of the difficulty of the work- Here's
the list: S45 per hour or S150 per diem for office work; SI00 for an appearance and SI50
per diem to represent you in a trial in a City
Court or a town justice court; $100 for an
appearance and $225 per diem to represent
you in a trial in County Court; $75 for an
appearance and $150 per diem to represent
you in a trial in Family Court; $750 for a
divorce, separation or annulment; $250 to
adopt a child: $250 to change your name; and
$35 to write a simple will.
Of course the only time you actually know
went into your legal work is the time you spent
with the lawyer. You have nothingto go on as
to how long was actually spent on your case
when you're not there.
18. What It I Lose?
As stated in the introduction, there is no
penalty if you lose your case. You simply do
not receive the money you were asking for.
There is noriskotherthanlosingyour original
S3.20 filing fee.
19. Should I Dress Up? Other Amenities.
Judges are fair, but they are human too.
Dress neatly but not necessarily fancy. The
judge is interested in your case, not in your attire. But. do not give a bad impression by being sloppy. Use your common sense.
When your case is being discussed, be calm
and polite, but don't be afraid to speakupand
give any information you feel is important to
your case. The main point is to be respectful of
the court.
Some suggestions: Use a lawyer that has
been recommended to you by some one you
trust. Barring that, you may have to go to
several offices to find the right person to defend you. Remember, not all attorneys are
alike. In this case they are only a person you
wish to employ, so feel comfortable with the
one you hire.Question your lawyer as to how
much time will be needed and how much you
will be charged. Ideally, it would be best to get
a package price in advance so that you won't
have to worry about the cost of a dday. etc. If
you are charged per appearance and you get to
court only to find out that the case has been
postponed, ask your lawyer if you'll be charged the same as if the trial took place. Some
situations don't even warrant the presence of
an attorney. For example, if you are arraigned
it only entails entering a plea of not guilty
which is very easy to do. Just answer "NOT
GUILTY" when the judge asks how do you
plea. If you have a lawyer show up with you
for that it could cost a pretty penny.
Remember, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled
that everyone has the right to defend
themselves.
Consumer Information
,. ^..-~.
If you call them with a complaint, they will
send you forms to fill out. They then will send
a letter out to the business involved, explaining the situation and asking for a response
within two weeks. When they get an answer
from the business, they will contact you again.
Businesses often will be willing to make a
settlement in order to protect, their
reputations.
Caveat Emptor:
Get into the habit of saving sales slips. Most
stores will refuse returns if y o u cannot prove
that y o u purchased an item there.
If y o u have a problem with a local store,
resolve it there and then. Ask forthe manager.
If y o u can't get satisfaction at that level, g o
higher. Persist until y o u receive satisfaction if
you feel the complaint is justified.
Take your time before signing anything.
Read the fine print. If you don't understand it,
don't sign it. Remember, oral promises are not
binding, n o matter what the salesman may tell
you. Get it in writing.
Door-to-door sales are regulated by N Y S
law. The law provides for a three day coolingoff period t o permit the purchaser of a retail
installment sales contract t o think over the
purchase, change his/her mind and cancel the
contract, if s o chosen, by notifying the c o m pany in writing within three days of the initial
agreement.
Send the notice of written
cancellation by certified mail.
Any consumer that feels a bill is in error
may send written notice of his/her complaint
by registered or certified mail within 3 0 days
from the time the creditor mails thestatement.
The creditor must respond in writi ng within 3 0
days and take action within 90 days t o correct
the error or dispute the consumer's claim.
Consumer Complaints
I) You can submit the details of consumer
complaints of fraud to the Attorney General's
Bureau of Consumer Fraud and Protection
(474-5481) in the Justice Bldg.. Empire State
Plaza, and the Office will investigate to determine if fraud wasinvolved. If it was. the Office
will try to arrange a settlement between you
and the busines involved, if no settlement is
reached, you still can go to Small Claims
Court.

2) If you have a consumer complaint, or if
you want information on a specific business,
you can also contact the Consumer Relations

Coundl of Better Business Bureaus, they often
can get you information on the reputation of
businesses in other areas.

penny counts, make sure that you know what

tax in Albany is 7 per cent, whereas in

Small C l a i m Court
Small Cairns Court is the place where any
individual can go to recover money. This
applies to dealings with landlords, businesses
and private citizens. Here are some examples
of problems that you might take to Small
Claims Court:
1. Your landlord won't return your security
deposit after you have moved even though
gave him/her the legal and proper 30 day
notice.
2. The appliance you bought from a store
has a guarantee, but the store refuses to repair
it or to return your money.
3. You did work for someone who now
refuses to pay you for that work.
4. You paid someone to do work for you,
and s/he either didn't do it for you or did a
terrible job not worth what you paid.
5. A cleaning store damaged your dress but
won't pay for the damages.
6. You paid for a repair on a car or washing
machine or hair dryer, or some other
appliance, and the "thing" still doesn't work.
These are just some sample cases. If you
have a problem somewhat like one of these,
you can use Small Claims Court.
Whan D o I Bring A Probtam T o Small
Oaima Court?
If you can't solve the problems or reach an
agreement with the party after several
attempts, you should go t o Small Claims
Court and file a suit against this party.
H o w D o I File A SmaH Claims Court Case?
If you live in the city of Albany and want t o
use the Small Claims Court, go to the Albany
City Court Clerk's Office on the second floor
of City Hall. City Hall is the big brown
building directly in front of the State Capital
Buildings. You may not file a daim through
the mail. Bring $3.20 in cash.
Both you and the person you are suing will
come to court on the date set.
The judge will listen to both your story and
to the other party's story and then make a decision. If you win, the other person must pay
you. If you lose, there is no penalty. You do
not have to pay for the court time or anything
else except the S3.20 filing fee.
If you feel that you might need Small
Claims Court help, read the following more
detailed section. It outlines some of the
problems to avoid, and strategies to present a
winning case.
1 . W h o C a n S u e I n Small Claims Court?
Only individuals over the age of 18 may use
the Small Claims Court.
Corporations,
partnerships, insurers or their assignees can
not sue, but you can sue them. You don't have
to be rich or have a college education.
Everyone has a fair chance.
Talk to the person named on the summons
after the phrase "Take notice that blank asks
judgment." Find out why it was sent to you.
Try to settle out of court.
If you cannot agree with the other person,
you will have to go to Small Claims Court at
the time that is written on the summons. If you
cannot go at the time stated and you have a
special reason, call the person bringing the
claim and try t o arrange a more convenient
time. S/He will then call the Clerk of the
Court and ask to make the change in time. If
this is not successful, call the Qerk and explain your problem and he will request that the
court consider a possible change of the date.
Adjournment is at Plaintiffs option.
Normally a jury is not used in Small Claims
Court. However, because you arebeingsued,
you are entitled to a jury trial if you want one.
You must notify the clerk of the Court before
the date of the trial, in writing You will have
to pay a S12.50 fee and post $50.00. The S50.00
will be returned to you after the trial whether
you win or lose. It is required to show the
Court that your request for a jury is made after
serious thought and in good faith.
out certain forms, so be prepared to answer his
questions. You will be asked your name, your
address, the name and address of the person
you are suing, the amount you are suing for,
and the reason you are filing this claim. Be
prepared to give a short and clear answer to
this last question. The clerk doesn't want to
hear your whole story. The clerk will also explain court procedures. Your case will be given
a hearing date some time three or four weeks
later. Be sure to remember this date. If you
cannot appear in person during office hours,
you may send another person to file your
claim for you, but s/he must be a person who
knows the facts of his / her own knowledge and
is willing to swear to them.
For the fee of $3.20 you can file a claim
against someone and a hearing date is set. This
fee might be returned t o you if you win the

9. H o w T o Settle A Claim
n
w
w
05
2. Who May You S u e In Small Claims
Court?
4. H o w M u c h C a n Y o u S u e For?
You may sue anyone who lives, works, or
has an office in Albany County, and any
coporation with an address in the County.
(You must sue a person or firm in the county in
which that person or firm resides.) But, when
suing, make sure you give the proper name of
the person or corporation—no nicknames.
Sometimes a business doesn't use its real
name, a may be tricky to get the proper name
of a corporation but it is usually possible.
Most businesses have business certificates
with their legal name in a conspicuous place. If
not, call the Better Business Division of the
Albany County Chamber of Commerce, or
check with the County Clerk's Office. Also,
make sure you sue the proper party. If you
should be suing a business, do not sue an individual employed with that business. Getting
the proper name for your claim is important
and usually not difficult.
You may sue to recover money and not objects. You can sue for up to S1000 in Small
Claims Court. However, if you feel that you
have a claim of more than S1000, but are willing to settle for less to save expenses in going
to Civil Court, you may still sue in Small
Claims Cout, but $1000 is the maximum you
can recover. One thing to keep in mind is to
sue for the proper amount. Make sure you file
for an accurate and fair amount. You cannot
raise the amount you feel you should get
because of inconvenience or nusiance you may
have suffered. If property is involved, allow
for depreciation value. If you bought a sweater
for S10 three years ago, thejudge won't reward
you the full $10 now. He considers how much
the item is presently worth—the depreciated
value. An accurate claim has a much better
chance than one which the judge views as an
overestimate.
7-How A r e T h e People Notified Of T h e
Hearing Data?
At the time you come to the Small Claims
Clerk's Office and file your claim, you will be
notified of your hearing date. Small Claims
Court meets every Wednesday at 9:30 a.m.
and on the first and third Monday evenings at
7:00 p.m. The court will send a summons to
the other party (the defendent) by registered
mail. If the summons is delivered, then s/he
must show up at the time of the hearing: things
are going smoothly. If the summons is returned by the Post Office to the Small Claims
Court for reasons of "moved-left no address,"
"unknown at this address." "no such address,"
you will be notified. You will then be responsible for seeing that the summons is personally
delivered to ("served on") the defendent.
This is no big deal. Simply return to The
Small Claims Court Clerk, and he will explain
the procedures involved. For a $7.50 fee the
City Court Constable will serve the summons
for you.
S.More Filing Information

Sometimes the filing of a Small Claims suit
makes both parties more ready to compromise
and settle the claim outside of court. If a
satisfactory agreement is reached and you
want to make sure that the other party won't
change his/her mind, write the agreement
down and both of you sign it. To make the
settlement official, call the Qerk of the Court
and tell him that you would like t o have the
agreement "entered."He will tell you a date on
which to bring the statement to court. Once it
is entered you will always be ableto have it en6. W h e r e la T h e Small Claims Court?

If you receive a summons (and it may be
mailed to you) to go to Small Claims Court, it
means that you are being sued. Someone says
that you owe them money. Do not ignore it
because if you do, you will automatically lose.
You will be forced t o pay the amount it says
you owe.
8. C o u n t e r c l a i m !
The Small Claims Court Clerk's Office is on
the second floor of G t y Hall. When you intend to file a claim, come into this office and
speak to one of the clerks. You will probably
be directed to Donald Poiter, the Clerk of the
Albany City Court (472-5173). He must fill

may not bring it up till the trial. If you think

A Lawyer?

<
Lawyers do not usually appear, but
sometimes a person or business which is being
sued will bring a lawyer. This does not mean
that you need a lawyer, however. The main
thing which lawyers do in Small Claims Court
is to keep their clients calm and to make sure
their client's answers are short and simple. If a
lawyer does come t o help the other party,
don't be upset. S/he can ask you questions.
Answer his/her questions calmly. S/he is just
trying to get at the main points of dispute and
thejudge won't let him/her push you around.
Don't be afraid to ask questions of your opponent t o bring out a point. Since the lawyer is
helpful in identifying the important points of
the case, you might want to speak to a lawyer
before going to court. (Call the S. A Funded
law firm of Rosenbloom A Levanthal 4631107) Sometimes you may learn that even if all
of your story is correct, you still are not entitled to recovery for lack of legal grounds to
base your case on.
Lawyers are not necessary or especially important in Small Claims Court. You will d o CD

report to a lecture center if they wanted to continue studying. Understandably, most
students chose rather to go home than to
attempt working in a large room where they
would be distracted by other students' study
habits (gum-popping, pen clicking, talking,
curses of frustration, etc.) Consequently, the
lecture center set aside for late night studying
was not used by very many students, a fact I'm
sure some library administrators will construe
to mean that students don't want or need late
library hours during peak studying periods.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
There is a reason why people choosctotrcck
all the way to the library to do schoolwork.
The library offers both study booths, where
one can work undistracted, and lounges where
one can take study breaks and perhaps find a
friend who can explain a perplexing problem.
A lecture center offers neither, it only offers
tables, seats, and distractions. In a school
with academic pressures such as ours, where
final exams are of paramount importance in
grade determination, students deserve better.
I'm sure budget cutbacks will be cited as the
reason for the library's insufficient finals week
hours, but 1 don't buy it. The library is never
used as much as it is during finals week. Many
students only use the library during finals
time. To apply a cutback at a time where a
facility is most needed and most used is the
result of either poor priority setting, or of incompetence.
What sort of priorities does our library
have? Do they have any idea of what the
students on this campus want? At atime when
other colleges have their libraries open twentyfour hours and are serving coffee and donuts
to studying students, ours is kickingthemout,
suggesting they relocate to a large lecture
center. Could somebody please explain why?

To the Editor:
By becoming a student at this university I
had expected to be able to freely decide what
to do with my life later on. Yet. my choices on
which to base this decision on are seeming to
become increasingly limited.
Being a junior majoring in English, I have
almost completed my major's requirements.
Next year being practically free, I had hoped
to concentrate in business to maybe help me in
getting a job. Unfortunately, because of the
new business school policy. 1 will not be able
to study what I really want tostudy. 1 will have
to waste a year of my education.
But, because I will be a senior, 1 thought, of
course, there would still be a way for me to
take courses, since the policy has just gone into
effect. In my accounting class last Thursday,

Dean of Business, Donald Bourque, substit uted for t he regular professor. At t he beginning of class he reminded the students that

A free press is the heart of a democracy.
Without it, responsible contact between the

Palestinian act is not merely an attack against
free press, but against democracy in Lebanon
itself.
Recently much pressure has been leveled at
Jews throughout the world to start thinking
about readmitting the Palestinian refugees
into Israel in order to form a "free and secular
democratic Palestine." The Palestinian contribution to Lebanon's democracy displays a
dear example of what the PLO leadership
considers a "free and secular democratic
Palestine''. Not only do they attack one of the
bullwarks of freedom, but they attack a
religious group.
If imperialism isthe intervention intothc affairs of someone else's land, my limited
vocabulary contains no other word to term
such Palestinian actions. Arab terrorism aimed at Israel in order to "liberate" her for the
oppressed Palestinian refugees is comprchendable though intolerable; but the extension of

Lebanon remains to me unfathomable.
The Hebrew language contains no specific.

most Israelis do not consider their struggle
against the Arabs as a religious war but as one
of survival. The Arab nations however have
used religious fervor to generate support for
their cause. What I find shocking about
Lebanon is that the predominantly Christian
western world has not expressed the slightest
horror of a religious war direcled against their
co-religionists aside from the usual displeasure of "war in general".
I am by no means suggesting that
"Christians throughout the world unite and
lake up arms against the 'Arab scourge' "
(shades of the llth century). 1 am however
asking that more thought be given before
pressuring Jews into accepting the
Palestinians into Israel.
I wish that it could be proven that my fears
are unfounded and that a "free and secular
democratic Palestine" would not mean suicide
to the 3 million Jews living in Israel who have
nowhere to flee.
My desire as a Jew to settle in Israel has
been termed racist and a deprivation of
Palestinian freedom. This Palestinian attack
against one of the bulwarks of freedom and
democracy in Lebanon only strengthens my
fears of what they intend for Israel if readmitted. If I were proven wrong then my fears
would be allayed: but the events that are
transpiring in Lebanon merely give them more
credence.

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
Comfortable Chaos
by Chris Aidun
FEBRUARY 3, 1976
[
Old sores never, heal, we just forget lhat they hurt.
The controversy surrounding the Michael Kaufman tenure case painfully resurrects
the ghosts of the 1973 Carolyn Waterman case, and that of former English teacher Curt
Smith. Again we have administration tactics that can only generously be described at
questionable. At worst, the intrusion of the Academic Affairs Vice-President into a
purely faculty level tenure review (see page one) can be called a gross restriction of due
process.
Vice-President Philip Sirotkin has called his actions "extraordinary." We couldn't
agree more. But he attempts to excuse them by blaming these "extraordinary times."
The budgetary mess in which we find ourselves cannot be made the whipping boy for
repressive and educationally unsound practices, by the administration in pursuit of its
phantom dream—the English Ph.D.
If a university is to develop a solid base of faculty, the tested, though ambiguous
procedures of tenure need to be followed. Until a fairer one is developed the
convoluted one we have must do. Sirotkin, and by extension, President Emmett Fields'
techniques are a return to jungle law.
It is apparently their intent to commit a slaughter of untenured English faculty to
regain the Ph.D., a slaughter disregarding ability and quality.
The "most exceptional standards" which Fields' consultants would like to apply to
English tenure cases don't exist and they never have. They are a ruse to justify mindless
decimation and they must not work. The value of professors like Kaufman means more
to a viable university than the tragic behavior of the administration would seem to
indicate.
Therapeutic Distrust
Trust us.
These two words reveal the nature of our lives and the world in which we live. The statement
"trust us" comes from all levels of authority - business, education, and government. Though you
may never hear these actual words, their message should not be new to you.
The message comes from America's giant corporations every lime attempts are made at
regulation. What's good for General Motors is good for America. The auto industry has fought
all safety proposals from seat bells to bumpers which bump instead of crumble (bumpers arc now
able to withstand a "collision" at five mph). The industry has consistently opposed any auto
pollution standards and has shown reluctance in implementing those adopted. Yet. they are
hidden from scrutiny, very protective of their right to decide what's hesl for our lives. The "trust
us" philosophy of business is not limited only to the auto industry. Il extends as far as Chile
sometimes, and often borders on mind control.
Trust ihe Educational Testing Service. E IS knows how to determine what you know and
most admissions officers of undergraduate and graduate programs seem to agree. Furthermore,
EIS believes lhat you have no right to question or understand how they magically determine
your level of intelligence.
These are the private sectors of our society. This fact makes il easier! oat leasl understand the
secrecy and manipulation for private motives of power and profit even il one cumuli condone

distressing.
Sii back lor a moment and try to imagine Ihe massive apparatus of federal, slalc, and local
government: the money, the knowledge, live manpower, the political powci II is simply
impossible for any of us to completely know and understand Ihis massive labyrinth.
Indeed, very little is done to try to help us understand our enormous governments. From
Henry Kissinger down to ihe lowest paid county clerk, we are made to believe ihai we should
trust our public servants they know what is best I'm Ihis great country, and we have norighl to
question them. Just irttsi us.
Citizens in this kind of society may continue to vote for candidates, but il should he fairly clear

Consequently, we are left to live our lives under conditions that have been dictated to us: ihe
products we consume, the criterion by which we iry to find a place in our society, and I he quality
and quantity of life we are to have are completely out of our hands. But rest assured that this is
the best of all possible worlds. Trust us.
Our society need not he I his way. Instead we should be guided by a philosophy of therapeutic
distrust. This concept, coined by journalist Nat llentolf, is fundamental: You and I, merely by

Going Against the Grain
The communist ideology is
to destroy your (democratic)
society. This has been their
aim for 125 years and has
never changed . . .
A leksandr Solzhenisisyn
In the summer of 1975, Aleksandr
Solzhenitsyn came to America to speak
realistically of our relationship with the Soviet
Union. He clearly points out that Russia's
backbone its agriculture, is weak. Solzhenitsyn calls for the United States tostopbailing
Russia out of its economic problems by
trading with it and giving it loans.
Let's get to the very root ol the problem.
The reason why we even trade with Ihe
Russians is for the sake of detente. Di'lenle
means a relaxation of strained relations or tension, as in this case between two nations.
Noting the above qutoe, even though we
attempt to relax our tensions and to peacefully
coexist and trade with the Russians, I hey continue their ideological war ugainsi us.
Solzhenitsyn asserts thut an ideological war is
composed of a focus of hatred, a continued
repetition of the oath to destroy the western
world.
The Russians gladly accept our assistance.
Nevertheless, Solzhenitsyn states thai in their
schools they teach and in their newspapers
they write: "Look at the Western world, it's
beginning to rot. Capitalism is breathing its
last. It's already dead. And our (Russian)
socialist economy has demonstrated, once and
•:•) by Joseph Berry, Jr. KS*WSSSftWaSSSSSSft*Wft
for all, the triumph of communism." We
should let the Soviet socialisl economy prove
its superiority to the world. We should slop all
trade with the Russians immediately, and encourage our allies to stop helpingthemas well.
Why should we support the Soviet police slate
vvilh our grain and other exports?
If we no longer assist Russia with our
agricultural exports, they would have lo turn
most of their energy and attentiontotheirfarming systems. Consequently, if they have to
snuggle just lo feed the people, they will have
less time to work on their industries, space
programs and most important, military
programs. With this problem, Ihe Russian
system would be forced to relax.
The Cold War (a war of hatred) is still going
on, but only on the communist side. Even
though the Russians are doingthis, the United
States definitely should no! return lo Cold
War. The only thing we should do is to stop
helping Ihe Soviet economy.
Solzhenitsyn suggests that relations
between the Soviet Union and Ihe United
Slales should he such lhat there would be no
deceit in I he question of armaments, lhat there
would be no concentration camps, no psychiatric wards for healthy people. Also he
adds lhat relations should be such that there
would be an end lo the incessant ideological
warfare waged against us.
Therefore, since we clearly understand
Russia's point of view, we should stop all aid
to them until they act more sensibly and
humanly.
A child awoke, and began the daily routine common to all schooldays, communities
and seasons. The shades were closed, and the child thought little while choosingclothes
and brushing teeth. At some point, however, mother opened the shades: snow! Then
she announced: no school today.
Sometimes the child returned t o bed, but more often the gust of unexpected j o y
prevented that. Excitement was in watching the high winds, snow or empty streets
through a clouded window. Home was more than home; it was warmth and security.
Maybe father did not attempt to go to work, or returned from such an effort in failure.
The power of the snow . . . .
As if an extra day had been granted, there was an urge t o use it. Not only was it fun,
but an element of chaos was present. For the child, chaos is exciting more t h a n it is
scary.
Mother made hot chocolate, and by the time the sun went down the child was
exhausted. When sleep came, only the hope for more snow remained.
Older children, or adults as they prefer to be called, regard the storm more
objectively. It's dangerous, cars become immovable, skid or freeze. Plans are cancelled
and the day is one of inconvenience. There isn't any thought about release from the
routine.
When the college is closed, however, there is a release from the routine. The
childhood mood returns. The day will be used for pleasure: cuddling up for some,
drawing pictures in the smoke of a causal indulgence for others.
Of course, there will be those who will see the release as a n extra day of studying, or
time to fix the apartment. But it's still possible to look out the window, forgetting the
usual urges of discipline or reflex of annoyance. The years haven't removed that mood;
they've only buried it under seasons of snow.

The Crime
is Rape
by Cindy Klin*
The typical rape scene as presented by the
media and written about in books portrays the
victim as a young beautiful woman dressed in
provocative clothing walking alone on a dark
abandoned street. The rapist, usually labeled
'sickie', sex-starved, pervert, or maniac, is
lurking in the bushes, conveniently waitingfor
his next victim. These scenes, although effectively combining the two real elements,
violence and sex, are mythical creations. A
more realistic way rapes happen is presented
in the book Against rape by Andrea Mcdco
and Kathleen Thompson.
The woman is 39, separated from her husband, the mother of five children. Anattacker
breaks Into her house in the middle of the
night. He turns out to be a friend's husband,
the father of several children.
The woman who was raped was not dressed
in provocative attire, 'asking for It', as most
people would believe. Children as youngassix
months and women as old as 80 have been
raped or molested. No woman is safe from the
threat of rape.
Rape is not limited to dark streets and bad
neighborhoods. More rapes occur inside than
outside: inside apartments, dormitories, offices, garages, and cars.
Rape is not a sickness, a deviation from the
norms of social behavior, t h e ordinary rapist
is an ordinary man. He is expressing, not sexual desire, but all the hatred; contempt, and
oppression of women in thissociety in one act.
"If, to ordinary men a woman is not a human
. being but is a piece of ass, a box, a lay, acunt, a
hippie chick or a whore, then the ordinary
man is a potential rapist." (Against Rape)
Women must realize the constant threat of
physical violence is with them no matter where
they go. They must learn the rapist can be the
landlord, the next door neighbor, a friend's
fa.her or brother, a date, the boss or a
professor. 73% of all rapes arccommitted bya
man known to the victim. 7l%of all rapes are
planned and 25-33% arc committed by
married men; they are not results of uncontrollable sex drives.
Rape is a crime of violence, a crime against
women. We must reduce it from the dark evil
prospect we read about in novels so women
can deal with it seriously. We must change our
conception of rape to include "any sexual intimacy forced on one person by another."
When a woman's date makes constant sexual
demands on her and she must constantly
refuse, that is rape. When construction men
whistle and yell derogatory remarks at women
walking past their site, that is rape. When a
man sits near you on the bus and asks personal
questions alter you ask him to move, that is
rape. In all these cases the men were not concerned for the womens' feelings. They were
attempting to degrade and humiliate them.
Many women do not realize or admit that
rape or the threat of rape is a constant part of
their lives. They continue to believe rape will
or does not happen tothetn. To pretend it only
happens lo women who are inthc wrong place
at the wrong time, to think rape is an isolated
act committed by a pervert, to hide all the facts
is to ensure that more women will be raped
and more men will get away with it. To ignore
the problem is to do nothing about it. "Only
when we begi n to understand rape can we fight
it, and fight it we must." (Against Rape)

Alumni Recall 'Good Old Days'
continued from page nineteen
Scott Price and Rich Marajson (1969) shared the same favorite memory:
the NCAA Consolation victory against Lemoyne.
"We were down 20 points at halftime," Price said, "ami we were still
smarting from that 40 point loss to Wagner the night before. Anyway, we
went into that lockerroom and Doc didn't say a word; you could see the hurt
in his eyes. We all knew one thing: we couldn't let Doc down. And we didn't,
when good old Rich hit that foul line shot at the buzzer."
"I never met aguy with more enthusiasm than Doc," Price continued, "and
1 just don't know how he keeps winning with what he has."
Ever hear of the Three Stooges? No, not the ones who dominated
afternoon television for many years, but the Albany State version in 1966:
Tom Doody, Marty O'Donnell, and Tim Jursak.
"A lot of people thought we were a bunch of real clowns, and that we were
just out on Doc's bench because we had no place else to go," said Duty. "In
fact, we sat the whole first half ofthe season, until, one day in February, Doc
ran into this little problem at Siena: his three best starters fouled out. What a
look on his face when he realized we had to go into the game, what with us
losing by 13 points with just two minutes remaining. Everyone thought he
was conceding defeat, including us. So what happens, Jursak over here scores
ten points, and we each throw in a couple more, and Albany State beats "St.
Rose". What a burn, right in front of their home crowd in Gibbons Hall."
Where have you gone John Quatrocchi? The academy award winning
offensive foul draw-er is the varsity basketball coach at Whitesboro High
and this class of 1973 graduate lit up like a 500 watt bulb as he told his
favorite: the 1971 Capital District victory over Siena.
"They came into that one 6-0. We were just 3-2. and they were supposed to
kill us,"saidQuattrocchi. "When we left thecourt at halftime, trailing by four
points, they were chanting "beat Albany High." After the game we went
down to the lockerroom to celebrate and used a few good cheers of our own."
Bob Rossi, Quatrocchi's other guard, works for General Electric these
days, but remembers well the 1972-3 season.
"I'll never forget that Brockport game," said Rossi, whose eight
consecutive first half baskets kept the Danes alive. "They were supposed to
Mow us out. They had Gilliam, the man who was averaging 30 points a game.
The fans were berserk from the second we took the court, and we heat them."'
And for Rich Reni, the Danes' "ancient" scorekccpcr, the memories are
many: "Lemoyne, the win at Fredonia in overtime when Byron Miller went
wild in the second half to bring us back, last years' win against Brockport, but
most of all, the 1974 Siena game and the way we 'checked that score' "
Yet one more old-timer has yet to be heard from: the Doc himself.
"My most memorable game and favorite win, Siena in 1966, the most
important win to me personally, Brockport last year; but, and this will
surprise you, the most important game we ever played was way back in my
first year when we Went up to Plattsburgh. They were 18-0 at t he time, and we
did everything but win, but it gave all of us the confidence to know what the
future of Albany State basketball looked like."
by Christine Bellini
The play was rough.
"Castleton is a defensive, physical
team," said coach Barbara Palm,
"and we're not that physical; it's
something that's got to develop."
Wednesday, the Albany State
Women's Basketball team faced
tough competition against Castleton
College, fighting to the last second in
a strictly defensive game to lose t heir
second of the season, 82-73.
The Danettes record now stands
at I win and 2 losses.
"We let them intimidate us," said
Palm, "but we were definitely in the

Trevett: Watching And Waiting

Last Tuesday night at University

athletes in all sports fear more than
anything else.
Albany State's all-time assist
leader was forced to watch his learn
lose to Union College from the
sidelines, his broken right wrist
preventing him from taking his
familiar place on the court as the
Danes' playmaking guard.
"It was a very helpless feeling for
me." Trevett said. "The Union game
was especially frustrating because
Union College is in my home town
and I know all their players personally. I wanted to prove wc
(Albany) had a better team than Union, especially after they destroyed
us in the Capital District Tournament this year."
But the practical side is that
Trevett must realize sitting out the
Union game isjust the beginning of
an adjustment he has to make. It
won't be easy.
What Trevett and so many other
athletes in his position must adjust to
is no longer feeling a part of a team

hopes and preparations for this
season arc now just a memory for
Trevett.
He will miss not only the game
competition and the practices, he
will develop what athletes in his position can attest to as an indescribable
feeling of being an outsider looking
in at his teammates.
"During time-outs I really missed
talking over strategy with Doc
[Coach Sauers] and the players,"
Trevett said. "It's hard for me to
accept that I'm no longer considered
important as a player."

Where are they now. . . what are they doing. . .do former Albany State
Great Danes just fade away on the twine?
Today Gary Holway (Albany's all-time leading scorer) sits behind a desk,
and his best moves are no longer made toward the basket, but instead with a
scalpel. It's Doctor Holway now, 13 years a professor of Biology at Oneonta
State College, a balding giant who still stands out in a crowd.
"I'll never forget the old gym in Page Hall," said Holway after Saturday's
Alumni Contest. "We were just about unbeatable in there. We once won 34
games in a row, and when wc finally lost, it was in double overtime to New
Haven."
But it was Coach Doc Sauers who re-kindles another memory for
Holway—the I957 NAIA Eastern Championship game against Fairleigh
Dickinson.
"The night before I played terribly, but the team was great and we won,"
Holway said with an almost painful look, "And then we were in the regional
finals. I played t he best game of my career and if we had won, we'd have been
in the National Tournament in Kansas City, but we didn't, so it really doesn't
matter."
"I love coming back here each year for these games," he continued, "The
memories, the friendships, Doc. and a trip down to old Page Hall. . ."
Albany'sfirst"big man" was six foot, six inch Don Cohen, now aprofessor
at Coblcskill. In four years at State he pulled down I3I7 rebounds, and
averaged 20 points in the 1959-60 season.
"No doubt about it, I'll always treasure the victories over Siena when I was
a freshman and again in my senior year," Cohen said. "Boy, we really didn't
liketheGibbons Hall boys at all. I'llneverforgct oneother: welostonlytwo
home games during my three full years on varsity. The fans were, and still are,
something else."
Hewlitts Landing in the Township of Whitehall is miles from Page Hall,
but the most veteran ofthe Alumni here Saturdaycvening now resides there:
Jack Mi non( 1957).
"I guess I can safely say I'm the only one here who played before Doc came
to Albany." said Minon. "Our old coach was Merlin Hathaway, a gentleman
and a really nice guy."
"It's funny," he continued, "I remember my first meeting with Doc and he
still looks the same to me. Did he tell you we won ourfirsteight games that
year (1955-56), and then lost to Utica? What a difference between our team
and the ones you watch today. We had no defense, no inside shooters, but we
had the damnedest coach."

margin, as the fans. Tickle as ever,
cheered several Albany stalls, less
than one week after jeering Union's
use of the same tactics.
The statistics: Fredonia hit sixtypercent from the floor, but managed
only 33 shots all night against a
pressing man-to-man defense that
forced 21 turnovers. Pete Kawiak,
the game's high scorer with 22, shot 7

of his team's 28 points.
Coach Sauers said only early foul
trouble forced the Danes into a zone
against Union. Otherwise, he said,
"we would have used the same man
to man defense against them."
Albany, on the other hand, shot a
poor forty-percent from the field but
got off 25 more shots than the Blue
Devils. Fromthcfoulline.thcDanes
were nearly perfect, sinking 20 of 21
freethrows. Suprunowicz's Hpoints

Possibly as the climax of an internal crisis, SASU President Bob
Kirkpatrick has been told that he
may be impeached and removed at a
B i n g h a m t o n conference this
weekend of the Student Association
of the State University.
Why?
One theory is that he could
become the victim of a power play
led by SASU Vice President Betty
Pohonka and others. By spreading
false rumors and exposing minor
corruption that they themselves are
guilty of, the Pohonka group has
plotted since October to take over
SASU, says this theory. Pohonka
has been a do-nothing Vice President, it goes on, while all the real
work of SASU has been done by the
present staff, Kirkpatrick and Vice
President Stu Haimowitz. This is
Kirkpatrick's theory.
The other theory is Pohonka's:
Her group is trying to save SASU,
which has recently lost nine member
schools, from the incompetence and
destructive policies of Kirkpatrick
and Haimowitz.
Pohonka's groups has involved
SUNY Central and the non-SASU
schools of SUNY Central's student
arm, the Student Assembly: SASU is
a private corporation that lobbys.
Kirkpatrick is also President of the
Assembly; indeed, the two
organizations are parallel.
Pohonka's people instigated two
studies. The results:
— Yesterday, SUNY Vice
Chancellor Clifton Thome found a
solution to a problem of alleged corruption by SASU in using the Student Assembly to xerox and to obtain supplies at SUNY Central's
Twin Towers offices.
— Tomorrow, a report will be
given at Binghamton by a Student
Assembly investigative committee,
which was set up to look into the corruption and to find out why the
Assembly had already spent $ of its
budget by December.
Tapes of the investigative com- visited Vice Chancellor Thome.
Thome's study was prompted by

rumors spread by some Pohonka
group people that the Attorney
General and the Albany County District Attorney had been called in by
Thome, and Bauman was under the
impression a court order might come
at any time for the tapes.
An informed source said that the
committee will suggest that the Student Assembly have a tresurer and
that there be tighter reimbursement
procedures for trips and meals. The
source said that the committee will
come out against Kirkpatrick and
Haimowitz, in some way expressing
a lack of confidence in them.
But Bauman said he "sensed
political overtones" in the committee. Sue Hirschkowitz, another
member, was among those who

Another outspoken faculty
member, Bernard K. Johnpoll, of
Political Science, had this comment
on Sirotkin's resignation: "If I cant
say something nice about somebody,
personally I won't say it."
Humanities Dean Ruth A.
Schmidt feels Sirotkin has worked
well with the academic deans. She
said, "I don't know of anyone more
hard-working and dedicated to the
university."
David Coyne, Chairperson of
Central Council and frequent student spokesman, feels that, "The
resignation of Vice President
Sirotkin marks the removal of one of
the most controversial figures in the
recent SUNYA administration.''
Coyne says that, "Hopefully, the
opening of the new Fields era will
give the new 'general his first opportunity to bring in one of his own
lieutenants —a change expected to
be for the better."
WICHE, the organization that
Sirotkin will soon be in charge of,

Governors' Conference to "improve
the quality of education beyond the
high school." The organization, based at the University of Colorado
Campus at Boulder, represents 13

Wellington Hotel Management Offers A
Settlement To Recent Robbery Victims
by Ed Moscr
In a meeting Tuesday night at the
Wellington hotel, Dorm Director
Fred Lilt told students that the
hotel's General Manager, Reuben
Gersowitz, would pay back a "more
than fair percentage" of the value of
items stolen from their rooms during
the winter recess.
"1 met with Mr. Gersowitz yesterday," said Litt. "He says money has
arrived '[to pay for damages]... it
comes to a percentage, which he did
not care to tell me; he said it was
more than fair. I would think much
more than 50 percent."
Litt said Gersowitz would like to
meet privately with each person
robbed in order to work out a settlement. On Tuesday morning Gersowitz sent notices to students askingfor their "school schedule, sothat
a convenient personal meeting time
can be arranged."
Student reaction to Liu's talk was
mixed. RA Kevin Kovacs said the
students should "all stick together,
and if dissatisfied with 60 percent," a
figure often mentioned as a possibility during the meeting, should use
legal action to get fuller payment.
Another of those robbed said the
Wellington management "wants us
to come in alone and play on
people's emotions, so that we'll take
cut [from the full value of goods
stolen]."
Watchful Waiting
Others preferred to wait and see.
"I'd have to see what Gersowitz is
settling for," one student said.
Litt was pleased with the Gersowitz proposal, The idorm director, who describes himself as "in the
middle" between the Wellington
students and managemnet, said of
the affair, "It's over, hopefully. I'm
hoping the settlement is enough to
satisfy everyone." Litt termed the
management's response as more
than prompt: "Gersowitz promised a
settlement in two weeks. In the real
world, you'd be waiting months."
Kovacs was unhappy with Litt,
whom he feels is reluctant to antagonize the management in fear of
endangering his position of Dorm
Director. "He's been looking for a
raise for a long time," said Kovacs of
Litt.
Yet Litt feels that to hassle the
management would only cause trouble: "The Wellington is a necessity
with a 105-110 percent enrollment. If
we make a big stink, possibly this
place won't be here next semester."
Future Precautions
Litt said there would be
precautions against future robberies.
"There'll be electricians in the
building in a short time . ,
Havekost (the Wellington's
Manager) says there'll be no keys
given, and no more than two doors
at a time will be opened for them."
SASU President Bob Kirkpatrick, whose organization Is now suffering
from an Internal crisis.
As for the spring vacation break, Litt
and Gersowitz "made a point that
there'll be no repair work done during those weeks."
Gersowitz feels that the students
"jumped the gun" in acting on the
robberies. He said, "My main concern was to take care of the
students."
It is not known if there has been
any progress in catching the person
or people who stole the over $2,000
worth of goods. An officer at the
Albany Police Detective Bureau
said, "we can't reveal anything we're
doing except to say that it's under investigation."
