Booters Gain First; Bombard Potsdam, 7-1
by Mike Flskarski
It wis like target practice. But this
time, tome of the shott went in. With
an incredible 77 ihoti at goal, the
Albany varsity soccer team wiped
out a gritty Potsdam squad by a
score of 7-1 at the Albany soccer
field Saturday, thus breaking their
scoring famine.
And f o r c o a c h William
Schieffelin, it was the first victory of
the season. "We started being
aggressive today. I hope this is going
to be the beginning of our momentum. Even with a 2-0 lead at the
half," continued Schieffelin, "I was
u n c o m f o r t a b l e . T h o s e guys
iPotsdam] hustle."
But even with Potsdam's hustle
and the excellent play of Bears'
goalie Dan Nistilo—the score would
have been much larger witnout his
diving saves—the Booters were not
to be denied this day.
Coming off a frustrating I-1 tie in
Oswego on Wednesday, Albany had
no wins until Potsdam. In fact, they
had not scored until right halfback
Matty Denora tallied in the second
half of the Oswego contest to send
the game into overtime. Two ten
minute overtime periods produced
ho more scoring, and Albany had to
settle for the deadlock.
With all the missed shots in that
one, it was very similar to Saturday's
contest. Schieffelin explained: "At
Oswego, we had maybe ten shots like
we had today and they just weren't
goingin. When they go, theygo;and
when they don't, they don't."
Against Potsdam they did—some of
them—and against Oswego they
didn't.
And although Albany did score
seven goals on Saturday, it was not
Batters Split in Classic
by Jerry Gray
When the last game of this year's
baseball Fall Classic came to a close,
everyone expected one winner and
one loser. Instead, there were cochampions as neither Westfield
State nor Siena College could
manage a run to break a one-one tie
before darkness fell over University
field. The tournament, co-hosted by
Albany and Siena, was divided into
two brackets with games being,
played on Friday and Saturday.
Albany State was eliminated early
in the tournament, losing to North
Adams State on Friday. However,
the weekend did not turn out to be a
total loss, as the Danes bounced
back to win an exciting consolation
game against Adelphi 7-6, Saturday.
In the opening loss on Friday, it
was a matter of too little too late, as
North Adams jumped out to an early
4-0 lead with two runs each in the
first and third innings. The Great
Danes had enough opportunities to
score in the middle innings, but
could not capitalize on them.
The best chance for a big inning
came in the fourth, when Albany
loaded the bases with a one-out
single by Jim Willoughby and two
infield errors. But nothing came of it
as Marty Riccio hit into an inningending double play.
The Danes finally managed two
runs in the sixth inning, when with
two outs, Chris Sicgler scored from
third base when a ground ball got by
the North Adams second baseman.
Riccio then followed with an rbi
single to close out the Albany scoring. North Adams came back with
two runs in the seventh on a hit-andrun single to right that eluded the
right-fielder and a well executed
suicide squeeze.
In the consolation game win over
Adelphi, Albany again got behind
early, but this time took advantage
of its opportunities to gain a comefrom-behind victory. The big inning
came in the fifth when the Danes
took the lead 7-5, on three runs with
only two hits. Three passed balls
charged to the Adelphi catcher, as
well as three walks aided the cause.
Hittingstars included Roger Plantier and Richard Cardillo, who each
collected two rbi's, while Chris
Siegler scored three times. Howie
Markowitz also contributed to each
State rally with two singles and a
walk.
Panawos Hurls No-Hitter
As for the rest of the tourney, two
Westfield pitchers shone. Mark Panassos pitched a no-hitter on Friday
enabling the Owls to pull off a 2-1
upset win over favored Ithaca. And
then Butch Lamagdelaine turned in
a dazzling twelve inningstint against
Siena on Saturday giving Westfield
the share of the Fall Classic title.
really very much. When one realizes
that only ten per cent of the shota
taken actually found the net, it is evident that Albany has been having ita
problems this season.
The first goal came at 1:30 of the
first half. Outside linebacker Chepe
Ruano, with an assist from Jorge
Aguilar, came up with the ball about
eight yards in front of the net, and
blasted it by Nistilo.
The second came at 29:07 as
Denora scored to Nistilo's right off a
rebound. Nistilo had made a sliding
save only a moment earlier and was
out of position when the goal was
recorded.
In between those two tallies,
Nistilo was making more saves than
some relief pitchers make in a
lifetime. Following Ruano's goal,
Denora had two good scoring
chances—cither right at Nistilo or
over the net—and failed to convert.

SOP Escapes Recognition Loss
by Paul Rosenthal
The Student Organizing Project, a
group designed to provide an "examination of the educational
processes at SUNYA," has averted
revocation of its student government
recognition
Central Council, at its regular
Wednesday night meeting, rejected
SA President Steve DiMeo's
proposal for ending official sanction
for SOP.
DiMeo reminded the Council that
he had opposed recognition for the
group from the outset because he felt
"SOP would circumvent the role of
what Student Association should
already he providing."
The group's organizers, Harvey
Lull and Joe Dicker, then went to
Central Council, which granted SA
recognition. Dicker has since resigned from SOI'.
Much of the controversary surrounding the organization stems
from a demonstration organized to
protest the arrests of eleven students
at the Colonial Quad parking lot sitin. DiMeo said the arrested students
"were very much upset" about the
SOP protest because they were not
informed of the action in advance.
Council Chairperson Greg Lessne
agreed that the Colonial eleven
desired to make clear that they had
no involvement in the SOP
demonstration. He added that the
group was "detracting from the
credibility of Student Association."
SOP Coordinator Bob Cohen
pointed out the issue was "not
whether it adhered to its own constitution.
The group's charter states SOP is
to discuss education at SUNYA
"with the express intention of fostering and enhancing the organization
of a democratic union of students."
Council members discussed what
rights SA has tocontrol the activities
of its groups. Dutch Quud Council
Representative Rich Weiss said, "I
don't think we're within our rights in
denying an organization's right to
protest." Weiss added that SA
"doesn't have the right to make them
ISOP] go underground."
Commuter Representative David
Weprin said, "They want to work
with Student Association and they
have. They have become a recognized group."
DiMeo told the SOP members
that he and Central Council, being
elected officials, should be the individuals working on behalf of
students. He suggested that SOP
members might be aMe to work
more effectively within the student
government.
Lessne suggested that if SA
recognition was revoked, the group
could seek university sanction,
enabling it to make use of campus
facilities.
The motion to revoke SOP'S
recognition failed by a vote of 4 to

Lebanese Leftists Suffer Major Lost
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Syrian troops and tanks forced Palestinian
guerrillas out of a 20-square-mile salient east of Beirut yesterday in a major
loss for the guerrillas and their Lebanese leftist allies in Lebanon's civil war.
A guerrilla communique conceded the fall of all positions held by
Palestinians and Moslem leftist militia north of the vital Beirut-Damascus
highway. Witnesses said only sporadic shots were heard in the area as Syrian
forces mopped up in pine woods on the slopes of Mount Lebanon, a resort
area 15 miles east of the capital. The two-day Syrian operation touched off a

Ford Funds Mentioned By Dems
ATT Accused of Dangerous Grab for Power
WASHINGTON (AP) Democrats
are beginning to take some public
notice of federal investigations into
alleged misuse of campaign funds
during President Ford's congressional campaigns and Ford's
golfing trips,with corporation lobbyists. Democratic presidential
nominee Jimmy Carter, at home for
a rest in Plains, Ga„ has avoided
direct comment on the investigations
and, until Tuesday, so did other
Democrats. But Carter's running
mate. Sen. Walter Mondale, and
party chairman Robert Strauss both
offered comments on the Ford investigations Tuesday. Mondale, in
Toledo, Ohio, said Ford has been
"ducking and hiding" from
questions about the investigations.
And Strauss chastised GOP vice
presidential candidate Bob Dole for
suggesting that the probes were
political in nature.

that Ford had made trips to corporate golf courses while in Congress, but Ford press secretary Ron

asked if Ford had, as a congressman,
converted campaign funds to his personal use. Ford has not personally
mentioned the investigations and
has not been available for questions.
Ford remained at the White House
on Monday, meeting with foreign
dignitaries, setting the scene for his
next debate with Carter on the subject of foreign affairs.

At Tuesday's briefing session,
Nessen disclosed that Ford had
played golf on courses operated by

Explaining the golf outings,
Nessen said, "The President is an

SA Vie* President Gary Parker may be censured by
Central Council lor Improper actions over the summer.
by David Wimelbcri
A bill to censure Student Association Vice President Gary Parker will
be introduced to Central Council
next week.
The SA Internal Affairs Committee met for an hour and a half, in
a closed-door session, and decided
that Parker had acted improperly in
an incident with the Pan-Carribean
Association and Ihe SA van.
The censure issue resulted
from a complaint from members of
the Pan-Carrihcan Association, that
Parker used improper tactics in performing his duty as SA vice president.
In a written statement, PCA
member Emcric Urownc-Markc
charged that Parker followed him
while driving the SA van this
summer. According to the statement,
Browne-Marke
was
stopped and asked to produce a
driver's license and insurance card.
The statement said Browne-

A member of the PCA said he
thought the censure was "adequate."
He said, "He [Parker] acted totally
outside of his jurisdiction and in a
manner unbecoming a student.officer."
The Internal Affairs Committee
bill reads that on the night of August
7, 1976, Gary Parker acted improperly after encountering Emeric
Browne-Marke."
Ill Feelings
The bill states "this encounter
engendered ill feelings between an
SA group (PCA) and the SA executive Branch. . .we feel Mr.
Parker should exercise more care in
acting responsibly in carrying out his
duties as vice president."

both females and males, are paid

There are five groups of marshalls

tradeoff:
safety for money?
Oval Office
by Todd Miles
Contrary to the self-proclaimed wisdom of
the news media and the partisan rhetoric of
Jimmy Carter, President Ford does have a
clear vision of himself and the role he played
in the American government during the past
two years. It is a .vision which we, the public,
'. have fostered through out post-Watergate attitude, and expectations with regard to Ford's
'administration'; a vision profoundly influenced by the circumstances through which Mr.
Ford became President.
Usually in this country, when a person
wants to become President, the candidate has
time to : I) carefully examine the present administration, 2) identify and define problems
' needing attention, and 3) formulate a master
plan for a new administration to deal with
those problems. All of this is carried out in the
context of a Presidential campaign, spanning
several months, under the glare of national
attention, with daily criticism and evaluation
from every quarter, i
PresidentFord did not have the opportunity
to plan his Administration, define its main
concerns, or even benefit from the long-term
public scrutiny which shapes campaign
strategy into government policy. He was
suddenly thrust into the Presidency, as a substitute for a man who had bee publicly exposed as a liar and a cheat. Before we consider
Jimmy Carter's pious criticism, wc should first
try to put s in Mr, Ford's shoes on that fateful
day in August, 1974.
Here is a devoted Congressman, who
suddenly found himself sworn in as the leader
of a nation literally tottering on its feet. The
Nixon Administration was a complete
shambles riddled with resignations, indictments and felony convictions. The President, Vice-President, Attorney General,
Secretary of the Treasury Chief Domestic Advisor to the President and White House Chief
of Staff had all been forced out of office,
charged with everything from bribery and extortion to perjury and income tax evasion.
While enduring military humiliation at the
hands of North Vietnam, the nation reeled under double-digit inflation and excessive unemployment.
In the midst of all this, everyone of us looked to President Ford for guidance and inspiration. We asked him to stabilize the government, overcome the paralysis in Congress, and
once again restore some measure of trust and
respect to the Oval office. Very few men have
assumed the Presidency undersuch dangerous
and uncertain circumstances. The Civil War
and the Ureal Depression were perhaps the
only comparable crises that this nation has
faced; and Lincoln and Roosevelt are idolized
for the courageous leadership they displayed
in those difficult times.
President Ford was faced with an awesome
task, and he face up to it. He did stabilize the
government, stimulate the Congress toaction,
and restore our confidence and respect for the
Presidency. He began by pardoning Nixon, a
questionable decision, but nonetheless a decision calculated to satisfy the immediate need
for stability and re-orientation. Inflation has
been lowered to six percent and more people
are working more than ever before, although
unemployment is still a serious problem.
After being sworn in as the 38th President,
Mr. Ford publicly stated his intention not to
run for election in 1976. At that point, he
visualized his role as that of caretaker.charged
with the responsibility of guidingthe ship until
the electoral process could produce a new captain. This man had never sought the Presidency, and he probably had doubts about his
ability to fill that office.
For two years, Mr. Ford has weathered a
veritable avalanche of criticism, aimed at his
personal qualifications to be President. His intelligence has been questioned, his speeches
ridiculed and his life threatened several times.
Is this how a grateful nation should thank a
man who never asked for the job, but who
courageously accepted the challenge and
measured up to it?
We Americans, in all of our comfort and
security, tend to become complacent and
apathetic. Life goes on, and crises such as
Watergate and Vietnam tend to be forgotten.
Still, who can honestly and confidently deny
that this country has come one hell of a long
way since Mr. Ford took office?
To the Editor:
During the past three nights occasionally
I have looked out my window on Colonial
Quad, only tofindthe quad surrounded by a
sea of darkness.
I find this quite strange because we all know
that it is difficult to find one's way with only
the moon's light (if there is any) to guide us.
But, even more importantly, considering'this
day and age, society being what it is, it is quite
appalling to think that no individual is safe
outside the quad.
I have made a few phone calls, only to find
out that in the process of raping the land for a
new parking lot, power lines were accidently
cut. How long should it take to rectify a simply
situation like this?
But I don't want to rest my case here. When
looking at the entire lighting system on this
campus, I see that it is being used at only onethird to one-half of it's potential. What the hell
is going on here? Obviously there is a trade-off
between safety and money. I would hate to
think that for a lew cents per night per light,
the safety of everyone who used this campus is
being neglected.
Why don't you administrators stop worrying about your jobs for once any worry about
the people who make you and necessary?

To the Editor:
As a student working for U.A.S. (formerly
F.S.A.), I'm disgusted and revolted by the
behavior of the students I work for. I'm tired
of their petty complaints. I have a few of my
own.
When a U.A.S. worker doesn't measure up
to student standards, they can go toour bosses
and complain, maybe even get us fired. When
we're sworn at. threatened, hit, shoved and
even spit on, who do we complain to?
It's not our fault there's no silverware. It was
all stolen the first week ol classes so each suite
could have enough for themselves and company. I'm tired of seeing supposcldy mature
adults drop their trays and kick them across
the floor loudly announcing "I'm not going lo
pick it up"; or feeding a stray dog so much it
t brows up on the rug. I suppose you're not going lo clean that up either, much less help us
get it out ol the dining room.
Hooby traps on trays are not funny. A
broken spoon deftly placed in a glass of Coke
put a food disposal out of order and flooded
the dish crew area.
And how about the guy who was so
desperate to get down lor a meal without a
mealcard. he was threatening checkers with a
knife? Or Ihe guy who was so disgusted with
dinner, he told a lineserver to slick it up
between her legs'.1
Don't wasle your lime replying to this letter,
I've heard or seen it nil. What I want to know
is. who is responsible for the behavior ol the
students, so I can complain to them and get
results.

In the Editor:
Funny thing. I read that letter under the
'bold' caption "WOMEN WATCHING",too.
Il didn't seem to met hat the writer was implying anything about a direct correlation
between beauty and brains, simply that the
"scenery' had improved ihis semester. But iliis
minor controversy is not sufficient impetus lor
ihis letter. What I find fault with is the third
paragraph ol the letter written by "Lesbians
for Freedom" (LF). Il seems to me to be
perfectly natural lor any person, male or
female, to have a 'ruling system' designed to
determine the sexual capalihiliiy ol a potential
partner. Vocal cords and'grey mailer', or lack
thereof, are not necessarily important
measures of a person's sexual prowess. Onthe
other hand, a person's 'rating system' lor
choosing a spouse or a copartner in a
monogamous relationship may be based on
totally different personal traits or
characteristics, or the two 'systems' may be
identical. Is this a sexisl attitude?! think not.

Petty Plagiarism
Portions of SUNYA President Emmett B. Fields' proposed mission statement are
identical to a mission statement that was prepared last year for the University of
Houston, where Fields was serving as an executive vice president. Bob Shirley, one of
Fields' assistants at SUNYA, helped compose Houston's mission statement. This year
he was largely responsible for the wording of SUNYA's mission statement.
Fields and his staff plagiarized some of the Houston document, t h e y have openly
admitted that much. But before the good President and his staff are led off to a funeral
pyre, a closer look at exactly what was lifted from the Houston document is in order.
The major sections upon which the Fields mob performed the magic of xerography
deal with the "goals and objectives for student development" and the "goals and
objectives for societal development." Someone interested in discovering what is truly
significant about the mission would probably label these sections Bullshit I and
Bullshit II. Someone interested in a rationale for a university's existence—any
university's existence might read them. Both Houston and Albany are university
centers, and thus both share certain purposes. Any president of any university could
have reprinted these sections for a mission statement without risking inaccuracy or
distortion.
Certainly Fields and Shirley weren't exactly "each becoming all he is capable of
being" by copying sections of the Houston mission document verbatim. But they
weren't stealing the crown jewels either.
Fields and his staff could have been creative enough to remodel the verbose
description of the university's right to life in some other equally boring form. But they
didn't. They cheated a little. Maybe they should have their hands slapped and have an
"E" for mission writing placed on their transcripts. But to pursue the matter further
would be pure sensationalism. This brand of sensationalism was manifested in an
article which appeared on page one of yesterday's Times-Union. The article left the
reader with the impression that Fields had committed a grave misdeed, since it did not
emphasize the insignificance of the sections reproduced.
Look at it this way. Since they saved time by copying some of SUNYA's mission
statement from the Houston plan, they were free to attend to other more important
matters, like deciding what additional departments should be retrenched in the near
future.
Fields' mission statement, and the program cuts and faculty retrenchments that are a
part of it, raise many serious questions about academic freedom, tenure, due process,
and the general direction in which SUNYA should beheading. It is on these questions,
not petty incidents of plagiarism, that the university must focus its attention and
energy.

Now, this week something small happened,
yet it further exemplified the situation on this
campus. A group of st udents were arrested for
trying to stop construction of a parking lot
near Colonial Quad. Although the students
were promised a voice in the decision, their
opinions were ignored, the security police
moved in, made arrests and the parking lot
was begun.
When I first began attending this school it
was called The State University of New York
at Albany. It was thenchangedtoThe University at Albany, and if the last year and a hall is
any indication of things to come, I wouldn't be
at all surprised to see a sign go up on
Washington Ave. in the near future that read
"Fields' University." It Is his University now.
Although the state and the students pay the
bills here. President Fields makes all the
decisions refusing help from others. Why
wasn't each department cut back, instead of
the disproportionate cutbacks which occurred? The only answer is that President
Fields has forced his educational priorities on
all of us, he has shoved them right down our
throats. And this has all gone on at a University which was set up to benefit the state of New
York, the taxpayers and children of taxpayers
who couldn't afford private education.

To the Kdilor:
I would like to clear up any discrepancies
i hat might have resulted from Tuesday's Israel
committee meeting. The posters stilled that
the meeting was S.A. funded. However, this
was an error in publicity. The event was of a
political nature and, as we staled in Tuesday's
ASI'. S.A. does not fund political events. This
can be seen in the ad in the ASPSor the event
which did not stale that the program was funded by S.A. . I hope liiis will clarify any misunderslandings that may have arisen.

pre-eminent American sculptor,
David Smith.
Smith worked with found auto
and machine parts; ready mades.
He employed industrial techniques in his free adaptation of the
images of Miro, Kandinsky and
the Cubists. The industrial
language is glorified; durability
and resilience are paramount.
David Smith's sculptures are
monumental in scale, though
their expression is intimate. The
geometric masses are precariously balanced to produce a feeling
of lightness and motion.
This emphasis on lightness
and movement reveals Fcrro's

The sculpture of John Ferro
emerges from the language of
American life. His use of steel,
rusted or roughly finished, is part
of the American imagery. This
nation of movers, whose second
home is the highway, is comfortable with roads that are littered
with rusted and decaying autos.
We are used to iron girders that
thrust boldly into our urban
space. It is natural that this
should become an integral part
of our image making. John Ferro
is not the first to use this
language. It is a notion that was
born out ol DadaandDuchamp,
and that was mastered by the late

Prop-Pick: The Kandinsky Influence
by the sculpted planes.
The surface of all these works
is an integral part of the
composition. In the large works,
the red leaden paint has chipped
away or been corroded. This
suggests the processes of
building itself, as rust first
attacks the individual welds.
Ferro does not paint the
sculpture with bright pigment;
color is not essential to the
surface. The earth tones of red or
rust are appropriate in their
intended outdoor settings. And
like his mentor Smith, Ferro
must make periodical visits out
into the fields to repaint his
works. Thus the artist never loses
contact with his work; it is a
continual process of evolution.
Ferro works in an associative
manner. He finds a germ of an
idea. This suggests another form,
and another until a composition
is complete. It is an ecstatic
process in which the artist
releases, in the manner of the
expressionists, ideas and
emotions that are pent up inside.
Included in the show of
Ferro's sculpture are preliminary
drawings for these works. They
clearly describe the artistic
evolution of the works. Many of
them are collages in the manner
of the German Dada, Schwitters.
They reflect the found object
nature of the finished works.

modern revival of constructivism; the Russian movement of
the teens and twenties whose
manifesto in 1920 spoke of the
importance of movement and
space, rather than volume, as the
imperatives in sculpture.
Indeed, Ferro's large steel
works have little . volume.
The flat cast iron sheets, I and T
beams arc precariously joined
together with more empty space
than forged metal in each work.
The three dimensional lines and
angles jut out into space intruding upon the viewer's domain.
The small bronze works are of
a more human scale. The works
are molded in wax and cast in
bronze by the lost-wax process.
It is work of a different order that
is heavy; its massivity anathema
to its small scale. Yet they are
satisfying. The cubist-like
bronzes play tricks with space.
From one angle the space is the
subject of the work; the bronze
merely forming a border. From
another angle the bronze itself,
with all its surface modulations
and distortions, is the object of
attention.
The mid-sized works are very
fine. Here Ferro has mastered his
sculptural language. His PropPick is a three dimensional embodiment of Kandinsky's
geometric abstract paintings. It
is a triangular composition with
a heavy I-beam as its base and a
flat sheet at 45 degrees. Smaller,
thinner pieces of steel suggest intersection. The work seems to
have a single vanishing point; the
viewer's senses are manipulated
The photographs of Jo Ann
Callis arc the most striking.
These stark, powerful images
represent in the artist's words,
"my ongoing preoccupation with
a connection between eroticism
and morbidity". The world of
Callis' figures is dreamlike, they
emerge from blackness in ambiguous poses and setting.
The work of John Craig is
strikingly original. He has
employed design elements,
graphics and color in surrealistic
compositions. The works are
built architecturally, layer upon
layer
John Divola's prints are
manifestations of encounters
with specific environments.
Divola observes sparse walls
with great attention to surfaces.
Patches of darkness are ambiguously suspended in the spec
of the frame. The works "explore
the interaction between me, the
camera, and the environment in
which I act."
The preoccupation with the
surreal is alsocvident inthe work
of Melanie Walker. Her cut outs
pasted on compositions depicting nature are attempts to construct a different reality. The
prints are repetitive and unacsthetie.

Margaret tat down on the cold radiator
and contemplated a sack of brown rice.
She and Michael were in what was supposed to be a kitchen, waiting for Jack.
But there was no refrigerator, no table or
chairs, only a small camp stove and
twenty-odd boxes. The faint odor of
kerosene mixed with the swampy smell of
the bathroom that adjoined the room.
She felt cold and nauseated. On the window ledge behind her she noticed a carton
of milk and some hamburger. 1 thought
he was a vegetarian, she sniffed silently.
She had never suspected that
vegetarians lived like this. She had never
suspected that anyone she or Michael
knew would live like this. Looking down
at the peeling linoleum, she noticed a pair
of cockroaches. She had never heard of
cockroaches that came out in the middle
of the afternoon.

Jack was always coming up in
Michael's conversation. Whenever he was
bored it was always, "If Jack were here
I'd .•. . ", and whenever they were having a good time it was "If only Jack were
here." It was as if, Margaret decided,
Michael felt that Jack's existence justified
his own. But it seemed as well that Jack's
existence somehow undercut and unjustified Michael's own happiness.
By now Jack must be close to thirty,
like Michael. She wondered if be had
changed.
She began to rummage through the
box beside her. It was mostly filled with
teas and spices, but there were a few
books on the bottom: Siddhartha, The
"Jack had never seemed
quite human to her, but
something like the cross between
a lumberjack and a leprechaun."
She pressed her back against the glass
and drew her jacket around her tightly.
There was no heat; and the snap of fall
had carried itself within the flaking walls
of Jack's apartment. Across the room,
Michael lounged against a wall. The mass
of boxes lay between them. Pointing to
them, Margaret called:
"Do you think he'll have any more than
these?"
"How should 1 know?"
"1 thought you said he didn't believe in
possessions."
"Well he doesn't believe in waste cither.
Anyway, it's always nice to have some
things to come home to."
"I'm not so sure," she whispered, "That
we should store his things."
"Why not?" he replied with an edge of
surprise to his voice. "We have plenty of
room."
"Look at the bugs," she whispered,
pointing to the suddenly bugless floor. "If
we pick uptwo of them, we'll never see the
end of them."
"Hey, don't worry. We're neat. If we
pick up any, they'll just starve to death,"
responded Michael, ignoring the fact that
he hadn't noticed anything. "Besides, you
can't let a little thing like bugs come
between friends."
She shut her eyes and tried to block out
the sight and odor of the place. From
somewhere in the apartment she could
hear small scurrying noises. Were they
from the man who had let them in, she
speculated, or from a mouse, or a rat. It
was definitely the sort of building in
which a rat would live. Cautiously, she
opened her eyes.
And where was Jack, she wondered.
Michael was waiting soeagerly, his hands
pressed deep into his pockets and a
childish smile opening his face. He had
been smilingthat same dumbsmile for the
past forty-five minutes, she discovered
upon consulting her watch.
She had never imagined that she'd actually meet Jack. Michael talked about
him as if he were dead, or at least very far
away. Jack had never seemed quite
human to her, but .something like the
cross between a lumberjack and a
leprechaun

"Don't snoop."
"Oh damn," she sighed, "1 wish he'd

"He said the afternoon. Wc must be
early."
"Michael if we're early, then we've
come on the wrong day."
"He probably still gets up late."
"Well maybe he decided not to stop at
our house on the way to India alter all."
"Look at the boxes, Margaret. He's obviously going somewhere."

we move anything to your place."
"Ah, yeah," said Michael. Jack did not
continue. "What is it?" Michael finally
asked. Jack shook his head with a worldweary nonchalance, as if he were half trying to shake something out of his hair.
Not bugs, Margaret hoped.
"Well I'm having trouble getting things
squared away before 1 leave," Jack finally
answered. "Money, shots, you know how
it is. I might need a few more days with
you."
"Oh, that's no problem," Michael turned to Margaret, "Is it Mags?"
She shrugged. Despite the squalor ol
the place, he seemed clean enough.
Besides, she wouldn't want anyone to stay
a minute longer in this place than they
had to. There was something frail and
vulnerable about Jack too, that made her
forgive him the cockroaches and Hell's
Angels.
Jack turned and noticed Margaret lor
the first time.
"You didn't tell me you were shacked
up with anyone."
"Ah, Jack, this is my wife Margaret."
Jack smiled at her and the motion briefly
enlivened his face. She still could not
detect the mysterious spark.
"By the way," Jack turned hack in
Michael, "You remember Lenorc, don't
you?"
"Sure, Nevermore-Lenorc."
"Well, I gotta take back everything I
ever said about her."
"That sure was an awful lot."
"Lemme straighten things out wiih
you. Lenorc does have one saving grace."
"That's hard to believe," Michael
laughed.
"No, really, I mean Lenorc makes me
humble."
Margaret laughed. Jack was insane. He
turned to her. "It's nothing to laugh
about, you know. 1 mean, if I'm serious
about this pilgrimage to India, then I've
got to do it by the rules. And that means
giving up women. Lenorc is a laying-nll
lay."
Jack's qualities of frailty and
vulnerability were rapidly dissipating into
feeblemindedness and vulgarity,
Margaret decided. Jack slapped at his
thighs and Michael laughed along with
him in forced hiccup-like spasms.
"Ah, Lenorc is coming with me to India," Jack continued.
Michael grimaced in an exaggerated
fashion.
"Ah, Lenorc is coming with me to youi
house."
Margaret grimaced, then grimaced
again as neither of them had noticed her
"Well," said Michael, "If you can stand
her all the way to India and back. I guess
wc can put up with her for a few days "

reprimanded.
She gave up trying to make a conversation. It was odd that Jack had lived so
close to them, hardly half a dozen blocks
away, for so long without ever contacting
Michael. She wondered if Michael felt
hurt by this, but t heeager expectant smile
on his face did not betray any such thing.
"Hey man." A small man entered the
room and tapped Michael on the
shoulder. Margaret eyed him in surprise.
He was short and almost emaciated. He
seemed to bend slightly to one side and his
brown hair curled to the middle of his
back.
"It's really good to see you. Jack,"
Michael replied. Margaret wondered how
many times he'd gone over that sentence
in his head. Curiously, Michael seemed to
carry the vitality that he had so often attributed to Jack. He was smiling blithely,
exposing all his plain-perfect teeth, ard
he swayed very slightly on the balls of iiis
feet. Margaret had rarely observed him in
such a cheerful mood. Jack, on the other
hand, seemed drained and pale. His exhaustion coupled with the quiet features
of his face gave him the look of a child
who has stayed up long past his bedtime.
Together, they made a tableau of the
wasted prodigal son returned to the
robust and thriving father.
Jack nudged at Michael's stomach
where it swelled above the belt.
"I can see that the good life is taking its
course."
"I guess so," Michael readily agreed.
He continued to smile obliviously.
Jack leaned against the doorway.
"There's just one thing," Jack said,
'That 1 want to get squared away be lore
"Since you know where we live, We'll
walk and meet you there." Michael made
a feeble "V" and stepped back onto the
sidewalk.
"You're too old for that," Margaret
hissed as the van pulled away.
"For what?"
"For that peace sign crap."
"I guess it was sort of automatic from
seeing Jack again," he answered feebly.
"Well, what do you think?"
"1 think that was the most disgusting
place I've ever seen."
"I'll agree with you on that. But what
do you think of Jack? Isn't he just as 1
described him?"
"He seemed kind of tired out," she
answered diplomatically.
"But couldn't you see that spark?"
Michael pressed.
"I don't know. I guess I don't know him
well enough. He looked anemic."
"But hc'ssuchancxuberant person. He
always makes me feci alive."
"You seemed to be doing pretty well
without him for the last few years."
Michael ignored her comment.
"Has he changed at all?" Margaret
finally asked.

"That's David Carridine, from Kung
Ku." Jack smiled gleefully and pseudokarated the table; the picture fell.
Margaret turned to hide a smile.
"It's a really great program," he continued. "I watch it every week. Have you
ever seen it?"
"I'm not sure," she answered quickly
nnd turned to leave the room.
"You'll have to watch it with us
tonight," he called after her.
In the kitchen, she found an unlamiliar
woman unpacking the spices, the rices
and beans, the flours and the kerosene
stove.
"You must be Lenorc." said Margaret.
"I'm Margaret. I'm afraid I didn't see you
come in."
"I came in through the back."
Lenorc did not look nearly as bad as
Margaret had expected. She was tall and
rather heavy; but her voice was low and
pleasant, almost soothing. Margaret sat
down at the table and watched Lenore fill

A lew hours after they arrived at their

In the dining room, he had set upa little

of worry beads lay over them.

. dictated by the sets; through an exaggeration of normal gesture, the actors produce movement which is in
complete harmony with the broken
line and oblique composition. Every
clement within the reach of the director is stylized and fitted into an
overall structure achieving, in this
case, .subjective confusion and
despair. In terms of a consistent
mode of vision, Caligari is completely successful.
Caligari exerted a strong inf I uence
on the German film of the next
decade, although its long term effect
has tended to be overrated. There
was never another 'pure' expressionist film made. Among the
first generation of off-spring,
however, were Weinc's Hands of
Or/or (1925), Wegener's The Golem
(1920), Lcni's Waxworks(1924), and
Murnau's vampire tale, Nosferatu
(1922). And in less obvious ways,
Lang's Die Nibetungen (1924) and
Murnau's Faust (1926) incorporate
some Caligari vision.
Besides the overt expressionist
style in films like Caligari, the early
German film was responsible for
ushering in the first consistent use of
style in the cinema. German directors (most of them already trained in
the theater) were skilled craftsmen
and brilliant organizers; employing
meticulous care for lighting, acting,
set design, and camera movement,
they strove to produce a deep sense
of individuality in their work.
Although much of t heir stress was on
the theatrical, their films form a
coherent and organic completeness.
Nothing was left out of place or left
unplanned.
Maturity of cinematic style was
born in the classic German film of
the years just following the First
World War.

Agents
By SPENCE RAGGIO
The name is perfect: Blue Oyster
Cult. And they've spent a long time
reinforcing the image it conjures up.
Mysterious, satanic, leather-coated
pounding rock n' rollers who can
shake the walls of any concert hall
and when they leave, that last guitar
riff is still vibrating in the air.
So Agents of Fortune comes as
something of a surprise. Which is not
to say, by any means, that the Cult
are now an easy listening band; its
just that for the first time they're paying less attention to the Richter scale
and more to their music, and it's a
welcome change.
There arc moments on the album
that create a strange, sudden craving
for a dose of "Cities on Flame," but
never more thanjust a moment. It's a
problem, because on closer inspection Agents is a series of such
moments, good musical ideas that
for some reason just don't completely gel.
Songs like "Tattoo Vampire,"
"Tenderloin" and "Debbie Denise"
suffer
from
t h e sin of
amorphousness—even after ten or
fifteen listenings, they present no
clear identity of their own. There are
some nice synthesizer effects on
"Morning Final" that never go
anywhere, and "True Confessions"
would have been best left on the
studio shelf.
There are bright spots, though.
"E.T.I." and "This Ain't the Summer
of Love," which sounds like a combination ofthcTroggs and the Beach
Boys.
And there arc brilliant spots,
songs where the Cult comes
together, locks onto something and
holds it. "(Don't Fear) The Reaper,"
their first ticket onto AM radio, is a
captivating mesh of vocal harmonies, Buck Dharma's multitracked guitars and percussion that
almost sounds too polished to really
be Blue Oyster Cult.
"The Revenge of Vera Gemini"
also shines, mainly because it really
isn't Blue Oyster Cult; I'atti Smith
joins in, writing and helping out on
the heavily revcrbed vocals, lending
a tense eroticism to the song that the
cult ordinarily never reaches. Pin
that up with her reincarnated Jim
Morrison-Rimbaud imagery, and
the result is easily one of the best
things that the band has ever done,
with or without Ms. Smith.

1 "Mrs. Keith, Mrs. Keith," I yelled,
knowing she hadn't left the building
yet. She was trying to rent the room
next to mine.
"Yes,darling," to me. Thentothe
prospective tenant, " A lovely
Australian girl will be your
neighbor, such a charming girl and
from a good family."
"Excuse me Mrs. Keith, I'm
American and there's no hot water."
With that she shooed her prospective
tenant down the dilapidated
stairway.
"I'll be with you soon darling. Let
it run," she called. I shook my head
in disgust to the guy she was quickly
ushering away.
Two weeks later 1 got an explanation for the lack of hot water. Mrs.
Keith informed me that when there
was hot water it was free but with the
tremendous overhead she had, the
water was only hot five hours a day.
When, I wanted to know. From 5
a.m. to 7 a.m. and from six until nine
in the evening. "The bills, darling,
the bills" became her favorite
refrain.
1 quickly learned that Mrs. Keith
was anything but stupid, and certainly not harmless. Promises were
made and broken with a perfect
regularity. An uncracked cup, exterminating the mice, putting a toilet
scat on the bowl — all were promised
yet none ever materialized.
Mrs. Keith made promises like a
politician before election day. Soon
after my arrival, she decided that she
needed a security deposit. . When
sheinalched the money, she promised it would be returned in full.
Somehow though, when I saw that
money drop between those two sagging overstuffed breasts, 1 had the
feeling it was lost forever.
And I was right. I lived in Mrs.
Keith's "happy house" (as she liked
to call it) for five months. A week
before my departure she slyly informed me that my security deposit
would just about cover the repairs
for the scratch on my refrigerator.

while governing, that too is considered law."
A: "How then, do you define

Do we not speak of violence and

P: "I agree and withdraw my
earlier statement on that point."
A: "And when a minority enacts
laws against the will of the majority,
shall we call that violence or not?"
P: "Quite right, whenever
someone forces someone else to do
something against his will, whether
by passing laws or by some other
means, that is violence rather than
law."
A: "And if the people, prevailing
over the property-owning classes
and against their will, were to pass
laws, would that not be violence
rather than law?"
P: "My word, Alcibiades, when I
was your age 1 too was pretty clever
at this sort of thing."
Alcibiades is obviously enjoying
himself while demolishing Pericles'
preconceptions. At the same time he
is pointing to a moral dilemma
which has been a common one in our
own century.

Clearly Coincidence?
! by Ton Schfrbtnko
A strange coincidence occurred a while ago
which was hardly mentioned—it at all—in any
newspapers. Back in August, we all heard
about another case of "communist
aggression"—the death of two American GIs
in Korea. The media presented the entire
episode to Us as a direct provocation by the
North Koreans. This was not unusual, considering the attitudes we've developed about
North Korea in the twenty-six years since the
Korean War.
About this same time, President Ford was
eagerly courting the "right-wing" of the
Republican Party. Ronald Reagan had done a
good job of making Ford look like a sucker lor
the'Commies', at least in the eyes of some. But
Ford's reaction to the Panmunjon tree-cutting
incident smacked of the 'toughness' Reagan
boasted about for himself; various reinforcements, including bombers and
battleships, were sent in immediately. Ford
quickly earned a reputation lo counter
Reagans criticisms.
Meanwhile, in South Korea, the Irial of
eighteen people who criticized the government
was drawing to a close. These eighteen had
been nicknamed the "democratic personalities" for issuing, on March I, a
"Declaration for Democracy and National
Salvation." The group included the only living
former president of South Korea, prominent
anti-communist
politicians, and various
religious leaders. With the fear of North
Korean attack imminent, the South Korean
people knew thai criticism of the government
played into the enemy's hands—even if that
criticism were of a democratic nature.
Therefore, the Park Chung Hi regime was able
to hand out stiff prison terms to all eighteen,
and escape much of the verbal attack it might
have received if the situation had been
different.
Oddly enough, this case of "communist
aggression" did some good for Presidents
Ford and Park. This is where we might start
wondering how much ol a coincidence this incident was.
One fact I hat received very little attention in
the U.S. media was thai the axes used in the
Panmunjon incident, the weapons used to kill
the two Americans, belonged to the the

A NEW DIMENSION IN CINEMA LUXURY
1
by Cary Scott f.oldinger
I don't know about you. but it seems I'm
having more.lcisure lime Ihis year than in the
past three years. At first, I thought it might be
because of all the gut courses I'm taking this
year, but that's no different than before. Then,
I thought it might be because I'm taking less
credits, bul that's not it either. Finally it hit
me; this academic institution is so complete
t hat our schedules arc designed to give us more
"free lime" during our senior year. This is to
prepare us lor the next few years, when we'll
have all the time in the world as new members
of the unemployed. Experience always helps.
But we shouldn't waste our "free time" by
sleeping (or sleeping it off), fill in those voids
by partaking in the "wonderful world ol television."
That's right, television. T.V., the boob tube,
modern day's answer lo the babysitter. Not
just any old T.V.. I'm talking about cable
television, the new wonder machine with 30count 'em-30 different channels. That little tan
and beige control unit can do practically
anything, except the dishes. You see the
movies, watch the stock market, catch the
weather (without usingt he phone) and the late
sports, just to mention a lew.
Of course, with every good there's some
bad. For instance, by now I really do know the
"Blackout Laws." And where else can you
catch all the episodes ol the lloneymooners on
the same night. It's on at 11:00 on channel 23,
Gujyjoa
Sat.,
11:30 on 24, 12:00 on 22, and 12:30 on 24
again. "And away we go!"
That's right, it's time for the old shows to
return (that's return, not rerun) and new
shows lo take a crack at it. Sometimes, tojuice
up the ratings, the "oldies" add a new twist, or
subtract one. For those of you who haven't
heard the sad news yet, there's no pleasant way
l o tell you. so I'll give it to youstraight; Rhoda
and Joe arc "splitsville". More people watched their wedding two years ago than the
number ol times Franco "died" and Patty
Hearst took "the fifth" combined. Is nothing
sacred anymore? Even Archie Bunker was suffering from the Seven Year Itch.
The biggest rip-off by television is the
special one-hour, season premiere shows.
Alter sitting through Happy Pays last week,
and watching Fnnzic fall in and out of love
and back in again in only twenty minutes
{that's one hour minus commercial interruption), I felt cheated when t he "to be continued
next week" sign was flashed across the screen.
But then again, I've got all the "free time" in
the world. So I just set the channel selector at
one and slowly work my way through all the
stations. It's too bad that this is the last year
lor Mary Tyler Moore. I even liked her on the
old Dick Van Dyke Show, which incidentally,
is on at 6:30 on channel 23, 7:00 on 24, and
7:30on channel 25. Maybe I'll lake up knitting.

Another thing that received little attention
in the U.S. media was the North Korean side
of the story. (This isn't too difficult to understand either; yet, the North Korean Permanent
Observer Office to the UN puts out daily press
releases which any newspaper, radio or TV
station can obtain.) The North Koreans
naturally claimed the Americans started it—
specifically, by throwing an axe.

the Korean, it wouldn't be top herd for them
to get a hold of a couple and use them as
weapons. But the question that arises is; Is it
possible that our side started the whole thing?
At this point, we could jump to conclusions
and work out a whole scenario; Ford needs
right-wing support, Park needs justification
for repression, what would be better than to
start a little skirmish on an uneasy border, and
blame the communists? But since we lack any
concrete facts, we could be justly criticized for
forming such conclusions. People should look
into this incident to see. how another case of
"communist aggression" was probably a case
of a thief yelling "Stop thief."

Women Netters Split; Cop First

The Albany State Women's Tennit team faced two away matches
tins p u t Weekend. On Sunday they
brought home More than the rain; a
team victory. Splitting the weekend
results, the Danettes dropped
FrUay's match, 1-6, to St. Lawrence
for their fifth loss of the season, and
then reversed the score on Saturday
against Potsdam for their first team
victory, .6-1.
How can a team be so inconsistent? According Ito Coach Peggy
Mann, the Danettes are steady, it's
their competition that changes.
"We have a hard time finding
teams of our own ability," she continued. "Private schools tend to be
either too good or too bad."
Jane Maloy remains' the team's
best player. She captured Albany's

lost her match in two sets, 4-6,1-6, to

Carol Farrere and Lorna Stio
both moved up to the varsity squad
but neither one was able to turn back
their opponent. Scoring only 24
games off the opposition, the
Danettes marked up their fifth loss
of the season.

Albany lead at the half.
Second half action began with
Albany Med getting on the
scoreboard on a 30-yard penalty
kick, cutting State's lead to 16-3. Exfootballers Gary Boccio and Andy
Lee then scored their first trys for the
ruggers, as Albany ran the score up
to 28-3. McStay added two more
conversions, finishing off the day by
scoring 11 of State's 28 points.
The scrum was overpowering in
the game as hooker Dave Rosenberg
won 80% of them. The play of the
team could be attributed to State's
kicking game. In addition to
McStay's fine placckicking, the
game was greatly influenced by the
fullback kicking of George Luhrt.
Any time Med posed an offensive
threat, Luhrt would boom a kick

Rolando Sparks Danes to 3-2 Win Over RPI
Forward Selca Knocks In Two Goals
by Brian Orol
The Albany State varsity soccer
team, sparked by Johnny Rolando,
defeated RPI at the soccer field
Tuesday by the .score of 3-2.
Rolando, who has a pulled muscle, came off the bench in the first
half to help a non-hustling Albany
squad apply instant pressure on Jeff
Miner, the RPI goalkeeper. Just two
minutes later, Rolando, set up by
Matty Denora, found the net.

Council To Consider
Parker's Impeachment
by Jonathan Hodges
This Wednesday, Central Council
will vote on whether to start impeachment proceedings against SA
Vice President Gary Parker. This is
the first instance in recent SUNYA
history where such an action has
been initiated against a member of
the SA executive branch.
Council's decision to examine the
possibility of impeachment resulted
from charges of harrassment
brought by the Pan-Caribbean
Association against Parker. Their
insistence led the SA Internal Affairs
Committee to draft a resolution to
censure Parker.
The motion was tabled at last
Wednesday's Council meeting when
it became evident that there was substantial sentiment among members
to explore the harsher action of impeachment.
"As I understand it, the PanCaribbean Association contacted
Greg Lcssnc [Council chairman],
who referred them to us," said Cary
Klein, one of the four members of
the Internal Affairs Committee.
"After reviewing the evidence given
by PCA, we felt that the only action
mandated was censure."

Dutch Quad Election Status Uncertain
by Ed Griffin
The status of the election for Central Council representative from
Dutch Quad is still uncertain. The
apparent victor, David Gold, has not
been sworn in, pending resolution of
an appeal by one of the losers.
On the basis of a complaint filed
on Wednesday by candidate Rob
Hirsh, the Student Supreme Court
invalidated the election, noting that
Hirsh's name was not among those
listed in the ASP on Tuesday, as
mandated by the Comprehensive
Elections Act of 1975. Balloting was
conducted Tuesday, Sept. 28,
through Thursday, Sept. 30.
Always Irregularities
After some delay, elections commissioner Michael Lissner issued a
statement announcing that new elections would be held next week.
Lissner had earlier objected to the
expense of such a move, saying that
Hirsh received less than two percent
of all ballots cast and had conducted
only a token campaign.
"Youcan't expect thisthingtorun
like the national government.
There's no continuity in student
government and you always have
irregularities in these elections. On
principle, he [Hirsch] has a valid
point, but you have to use a little discretion."
Leaders Insensitive
Hirsh complained that student
leaders had been insensitive to his
plight and charged that l.issner told
him "I don't care", and hung up on
him. Lissner denied this charge and
countered by saying that Hirsh, in a
conversation with SA vice president
Gary Parker, offered to drop his
complaint in exchange for a job with
the SA. Parker and Hirsh both
denied that Hirsh made such a
proposal, but Lissner and SA presi-
dent Steve DiMeo both recall Parker
telling them that Hirsh suggested he
be given a job. Lissner described
Parker as "amazed" that Hirsh
suggested such a deal.
Thursday morning Hirsh was
determined to run in the new election, but after a conference with
Parker, he changed his mind. "1
proved my point," Hirsh declared
afterwards in a joint press briefing.
The Court has shown me to be right
on principle, and I can't see spending
140 dollars of student moneyjust on
me." Informed of Ussncr's idea for
reducing the cost ol elections, Parker
answered that the plan would violate
the election laws. Hirsh concurred.
During this session, Parker insisted
that Lissner had no authority to call
another election. "Since Mr. Hirsh
has withdrawn his request, there is
no need for a new election."
But, according to Chief Justice
Vicki Kurt/.man of the student
Supreme Court, as things now stand
there will be no Dutch Quad rep until the rerun is conducted. The SA
could, however petition for a reversal now that Hirsh has withdrawn his
objection to the original result.
Typist Error
The problem stems from an ad
placed by the SA in the ASP on
Tuesday, listing candidates for nine
offices. Although Lissner submitted
the complete sample ballot, a typist
accidentally left out the name of
Robert Hirsh. Hirsh filed his complaint the next day, before the election results were in.
Late Thursday evening, Lissner
and Parker informed Vicki Kurtzman that they would file a petition
urging an injunction against the new
election. Kurtzman declined tocomment, sayingshe had not yet received
the petition.
be following him. Upon reaching his
apartment, Browne-Marke's pursuer pulled up behind the van with a
siren blasting.
Browne-Marke was ordered by
the car's driver to produce a driver's
license and insurance particulars.
When he refused, the inquirer
ordered a friend in the car to "call
some other guys. This guy is giving
us some trouble." At no time did the
car's driver state that he was a police
officer or other public official. When
Browne-Marke moved away, the inquirer shouted, "I am going to have
this van impounded!" and left.
Soon after, the inquirer returned
and promptly identified himself as
Gary Parker. He presented BrowneMarke with a copy of the transportation request slip for the van which
stated that the van should have been
in New York City at thattime. When
he asked why the van was in Albany,
Browne-Marke replied that if there
was any complaint it should be
rendered upon return of the van.
Browne-Marke then went back into
his apartment.
Parker drove off in the van and
later returned with two policemen.
Browne-Marke explained that there
was a delay in the trip to New York

Fires In Gym Set Intentionally
Results of on* of the two fire* deliberately **t yesterday In the men'*

by Mark Grcenstcin
'The local McKownville Fire
Department responded to the University Gym's call I or help late Monday afternoon, and arrived within
minutes to discover fires in the men's
and women's bathrooms. University
Police believe that the fires were set
intentionally.
An unidentified woman ran to the
main office and reported the fire to
Gym Supervisor Jeff Carlson.
Carlson immediately called the
Department of Public Safety. University Police were overwhelmed by
smoke in the women's room and at
5:18 telephoned the local lire department. Meanwhile Carlson pulled the
fire alarm and evacuated the gym.
At 5:21 firemen rushed into the
bathroom and proceeded to fight the
smoke. No sooner did they have
things under control, when they
found another fire in Ihe adjacent
men's room.
Assistant Director for Security
John Henighan believes that the
same person began both fires. Heexplaincd how the arsonist most likely
began by starting the fire in the
women's room, left the bathroom
and proceeded down the stairs
towards the phones and vending
machines, grabbed a phone book,
carried it into the men's room and set
it on fire.
"It [the lire] wasn't discovered until an hour or two after il was
started," said Hennighan. "
lhat's the problem."
Al 4 p.m. a gym maintenance
man thought he smelted smoke. The
SUNYA Power Division and the
Department of Public Safety were
notified.
The Power Division inves'tigated
the third floor and the roof where the
heating and ventilating mechanisms
are located. They discovcredachewed up fan belt and attributed the
odor to this. Shortly after, both
maintenance and University Police
left.
"They probably didn't go
anywhere else," said Dr. Werner,
chairman of Ihe men's physical
education departmenl and director
of the gym.
Cigarette Butt
In describing the damage Werner
said, "The heat was so intense that
the tiles fell off the wall." He described both chairs which were inside the
women's room as totally demolished.
The men's bathroom reportedly
suffered only minor smoke damage
and a burned phone book.
Originally Werner had conjectured the first fire to have been caused by a discarded cigarette butt.
However, he changed his mind when
he learned that there were two fires
in the gym.
Henighan described the damages
as slight and said that things looked
worse than they actually were.
Those involved agreed that the
damage was minimal but held that
ihe smoke was intense.
When asked who might be responsible Henighan said, "It's probably
an attempt to harrass or inconvenience rather than burn the
building down." He explained that
when university police went to investigate the original 4 o'clock call,
"some kind of pully in the air conditioner needed to be replaced."
Henighan said there is an investigator working on the case and
that "it is probably not the kind of
thing a college kid would do."
