Varsity Hoopsters Have Depth
by Ed Moter
Last season, the Albany State varsity basketball team came perilously
close to having its first losing record
in its 21 years under head coach Dick
Sauers. It will be a disappointment if
a 1976-77 crew with far greater depth
and experience does not better last
year's 12-11 mark.
"At times we may play with one
guard," says Sauers. This is a reflection not of weakness but of strength,
for the Danes are stacked up front.
Senior Bob Audi, at 6'2" is the
recently reelected team captain. Asa
small forward, Audi has learned to
grab a rebound by boxing out his opponent. He also picks up a lot of'garbage baskets' by positioning himself
in the right place. A thoroughly solid
ballplayer, Audi was third on the
team last year in scoring, rebounding
and field goal percentage.
Another 6'2" forward with the
"smarts" is Vic Cesarc, also a senior.
Cesare drew some twenty offensive
charging violations last year, and his
leaping ability (a 6'5" high jump in
high school) makes him the team's
best rebounder. Percentage-wise, his
shooting was the sharpest.
At 6'3", Kevin Keane is another
relatively small forward. He's a versatile performer who can also play
center or guard, and led the Danes in
assists.
Intelligence and versatility can
only go so far, however. In a recent
scrimmage against Le Moyne
College, Albany's "biggest problem
was rebounding", admitted Sauers.
This problem, of course, stems from
the Danes' lack of big men. For the
Danes, the taller teams are going to
be tough.
Assistant Coach Bob Lewis feels
that "Staton Winston, will improve
our rebounding." Lewis adds,
however, that the 6'2" sophomore
needs more practice on his board
work, for he has a bad habit of
reaching for the ball with only one
hand. Winston can shoot as well as
leap: he led the junior varsity last
year in scoring. Sophomore Dave
Landry, standing at 6'3", rounds out
the Dane forwards.
The key man for Albany has to be
6'7" center Barry Cavanaugh, who as
a freshman last year, paced the varsity with a 13.5 scoring average. The
team's tallest man, he provides the
inside scoring threat. On offense, he
attracts attention, enabling his teammates to get tree. On defense, he intimidates, as evidenced by his 29
blocked shots last season.
Cavanaugh must "keep out of foul
trouble," says Coach Sauers, and
"needs work on his defense," according to Lewis.
Carmelo Verdcjo, a 6'3" soph, is
the second center. He's shown
promise in practice, and Sauers feels
"he could be a big surprise". Soph
Terry Miles, 6'5", is the other
middleman.
Albany's 'point' guards, two fine
ballhandlers who will direct the
offense, are Winston Royal and
Gary Trevett. Royal, another
sophomore at S'9", is the smallest
member of the squad. Called up
from the jv at mid-season, he
proceeded to hit on an amazing 34 of
35 foul shots, including a school
record 28 straight. A real crowdpleaser, the flashy Royal is exceedingly quick. Sauers says he has
the potential to develop into the
team leader.
Trevett, a 6'2" senior, was out with
a broken wrist for a good part of last
season. Albany's all-time assist
leader, Trevett was wOrely missed.
He's presently nursing a knee injury
which may keep him out of the
December 2 opening game against
Marist.
Trevett is needed to help direct the
"motion attack" the Danes will sport
this year. Look for screens and lots
of movement, as opposed to the
more set pattern of play used in the
past.
Another guard is 5' 10" soph Brian
Barker who as a freshman last year,
played in every varsity game. Senior
Mike Suprunowicz is the "gun" of
the backcourt; he's Albany's best
shooter. The 5'II" guard averaged
over sixteen points a game until —
like so many Danes last season — he
was sidelined with an injury.
Albany will be well off in terms of
experience. There are no freshmen
on this year's team, while four
seniors will return. One good thing
to come out of last year's injuries was
that several freshmen got varsity
playing time.
The Danes will need their experience, and should pray for few injuries, for their schedule is far from
easy. Seven of Albany's opponents

The Seventh Annual Great Dane
Swimming and Diving Relays were
held this past Saturday at University
Pool, and Coach Ron White's
aquamen finished fourth in the eight
team, four-year college division.
Albany's 66 points in the nineevent program gave them their second best finish in the history of the
relay carnival. Coast Guard's 152
points paced the competition. Other
schools, in order of finish, were RPI,
Oneonta, Binghamton, New Paltz,
St. Michaels, and Keene State.
The Danes' best effort was the
300-yard butterfly, where cocaptains Paul Marshman and Mitch
Rubin teamed with Ed Watkins for a
2:56.9 time and a second place finish.
The team placed fourth in five

Michael Rickman, part owner of a
Dove St. residence where three
SUNYA students were injured in a
Nov. 17 fire, was arrested last week
for two housing code violations.
Rickman was charged with
violating u condemnation order and
with not providing u sprinkler

than three apartments.
"The building hud been condemned in September I975," said City Attorney John Roe, "and a sign posted

August I976 that there was to be no
occupation of 48A Dove St. as he
prepared lor a September lease

"1 never got the ordinances from
Roe on the city property condemnation," said Rickman. "There was no
sign, although I had known of it
when I bought the buildings."
"I don't know when the sign came
down," said Roe.
A c c o r d i n g t o Roe, City
authorities did not know people
were living in the building until the
lire occurred.
"The house had been condemned," said Roc, "and when the lire
trucks showed up people started
jumping out."
Although he expects more charges
to follow, Roe said the City government would probably not be held ut
fault in any of them.
Members of the Albany Coalition

City authorities knew of the
building's occupancy prior to the
fire. "Rickman had applied to the

Landlord Is Arrested In
Dove Street Fire Case
by Ed Moser
Two student residents at the Hotel
Wellington claim that valuable items
were stolen from their rooms over
the Thanksgiving recess.
Rick Cortreneo reported a stereo
receiver and two speakers missing.
A second student who wished to
remain unidentified said he returned
Sunday and found his amplifier,
color television set and turntable
cartridge missing.
The two estimated the combined
worth of the missing items at about
$1,400.
The matter is currently under investigation by Albany police, who
have interviewed the two students involved and have searched their
rooms lor fingerprints.
"It looks like an inside job to me,"
said the anonymous student, who
stated he had his door double-locked
before leaving for the holidays. He
said that because the door was still
double-locked upon his return, the
thief must have had access to the
hotel master key.
The student threatened to "sue the
city for negligence" pending the
results of the police inquiry.
Cortreneo also thought the alleged robbery was an inside job. "The
person knew exactly whut he
wanted," he explained. "It looks like
he had lots of time, for my speaker
wires were not slashed." Cortreneo
said his room was not doublelocked.
Second Burglary
This was the second major
burglary at the Wellington in less
than a year. Over $2,000 worth of
student items were stolen during last
year's Christmas vacation break.
Director of Student Housing John
Welty said Thursday that he has
talked with the Wellington management about the affair and has requested a written report on the thefts
from Wellington Dorm Director

Welty said he would discuss with

prevent further vacation thefts. He
added "double-locking is probably
the best way to insure against theft.
Lack of Security
The unnamed student was incensed over what he termed lack of
security at the Wellington. He said
an elderly guard employed "for insurance purposes only," was the
hotel's only security.
The student claimed that despite
last year's major robbery and a series
of petty thefts throughout this
semester, the management tailed to

China's Trade Increased
LOS ANGELES (AP) Will
Americans be watching Monday
night football on Red Chinese television sets a few years from now?
That's one of the intriguing
questions raised by Barry Richman,
professor of management and international business at the Graduate
School of Management of the University of California at Los Angeles.
Richman, an expert on the
economy of the People's Republic of
Ching, thinks trade between the United States and China will increase
dramatically in the next few years,
with color television sets, transistor
radios and other consumer electronics among the possible items being imported by this country.
"You may well see color television
sets from China within the next five
years," Richman said in an interview. "They're producing them now,

them for mass markets. If they did,
they could undersell the Japanese. In
fact, I think you'll sec some of the
same imports here that you saw after
World War II from Japan and
Korea."
Richman, who has traveled widely
in mainland China, says the recent
purge of the so-called "radical"
Chinese leaders after the death of
Chairman Mao Tse-tung may lead
to more rapid industrial growth for
China under its new rulers.
"It remains to be seen whether
Chairman Hua Kuo-feng— Mao's
successor-will abandon substantially the traditional model of selfreliance in favor of a rapid, longterm infusion of foreigh'ciipftal'a'nd
technology tb meet the pressing
economic requirements of modernization," he said.
"But if the moderates can maintain control lor the next 10 to 15
years, China would be in a position
to achieve a real economic growth
rate in the range of 5 to 8 per cent a
year."
Richman says this could boost
Sino-American trade to the $3
billion ot $6 billion level, a whopping
increase from the SI billion figure of
recent years.
Some ol the products likely to be
exported from the U.S., in
Kichmun's view, are chemical plants,
agricultural machinery, computers
and heavy transportation equipment.
In turn, the Chinese are likely to
sell Americans gourmet foods, lextiles, sporting goods, musical instruments and minerals, he believes.
China has paid much more lor imports in recent years than it has gained on exports and suiters from a
balance ol payments deficit.
However, Richman thinks the vast
Chinese oil reserves could reverse
that trend.
"China may well have more oil in

BONN, West Germany (AP) U.S. Sen. Jacob K. Javits proposed Thursday
that the International Monetary Fund—IMF—and international banks help
solve Britain's financial crisis. The New York Republican, who is touring
Europe to drum up support for Britain, said the British econom.c crisis has
much greater implications for the Western world than Italy's financial
troubles. "An Italian crisis would not shake the foundations of the free world,
but a financial collapse of Britain would affect Japan, West Germany and the
United States as well," he told reporters in Bonn before confcrr.ng with
Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. Javits said the IMF should extend ao'dtional

The' University Community
Council will be holding three open
. hearings on the proposed modification of the Firearms Policy next
week, according to UCC chairperson Patricia Buchalter.
The decision to hold the open
forums was made at a meeting held
DeC. I to examine the different
aspects of the controversial
proposal.
On Nov. 17, the UCC attempted
to hold this informational meeting,
but luck of quorum and a dispute
concerning student admittance to
the meeting prevented this, according lo Buchalter.
The dispute occurred just prior to
the scheduled mcetingand prompted
a resolution lo be passed that night
by Central Council, expressing outrage at what was termed the
"Chairperson's refusal to admit
students lo the meeting."
According to Central Council
member David Gold, who introduced the resolution, about 25
students showed up for the meeting.
Ciold said that as he entered the
room. Chairperson Buchalter
attempted lo prevent him from
entering.
"I told her that she couldn't go
into closed session." said Ciold. "We
felt we had a riglil lo be there."
According lo liuchnller, the combination ol a small meeting room
and emotionalism added to what she
leels was a misunderstanding about
the meeting.

Motorbikes Now
Legal in NYS
ALBANY, N.Y.(AP) It is now legal
to run motorized bicycles in the
state's major urban areas. In addition, operation of "mopeds" and
some special, limited-use cars will
soon be licensed.
_ —•••"•'
. Under new state laws taking effect
today, the Department of Motor
Vehicles is to begin issuing licenses
for the the three categories of
limited-use vehicles. Use of the
motorized bicycles becomes legal
without a license.
The department announced Tuesday that it was retreating from a
policy it had proposed earlier and
would allow unlicensed operation
even of motorized bicycles powered
by a chain instead of a wheel friction
device.
Use of any of the limited -use
vehicles is to be legal only in the six
major metropolitan regions-the New
York City area, the Buffalo area, the
Syracuse area, the Rochester area,
the Utica-Romc area and the
Albany-Schenectady-Troy area.
The regulations may be expanded
to cover other parts of the state later,
however.
Under the new laws, the only
special vehicles immediately legalized will be the motorized bicycles.
The others covered by the new
laws-limited-use automobiles,
"Mopeds" and relatively slow-speed
motorcycles -can be operated only
with special licenses, which the
department is now prepared to take
applications for.
I he motorized bicycles are twowheeled vehicle* with imginfcs'ol1 brie"
horsepower t*r It'ss and a topspeed of
17 miles an hour or less.
Initially. Motor Vehicles Commissioner James Melton had
proposed regulations which an additional requirement that the
motorized bicycles be driven with a
friction device on the tire, instead of
a chain. The department said cither
chain or Iriction drives would be
allowed.
I he types ol limited-use vehicles
lor which licenses will be issued are:
Class U limited-use motorcycles,
capable ol speeds of at least 17 miles
an hour. Often called "mopeds,"
these sehicles will need license plates
and motorcycle lighting but no
periodic safely inspections.
Class A limited-use motorcycles,
capable ol speeds of more than 30
miles an hour but less than 40 miles
an limir. These need the same equipment standards and inspection
procedures as standard motorcycles.

Hajimu Ogawa, a faculty member
on the committee, said, "1 think that
there is a lot of merit in having a student get a broad education—I think
having students experience breadth
in education is valuable but I'm not
convinced that requirements arc a
way to accomplish that.""
He explained that in the 60"s,
because of student unrest, many
schools gave up liberal arts requirements in order to give students
more freedom. Now, some students
are taking a much more narrowly
trained approach than perhaps they
would have been under a more strict
requirements situation. Students arc
more concerned about preparing
themselves for a career, Dr. Ogawa's
experience in counseling students lies
in the Held of computer science.

President Field's. Special Committee to Review the Undergraduate
Experience is seeking feedback on
what students feel constitutes a wellrounded liberal arts education according to a letter released by Committee Chairperson Ray Ortali.
According to Ortali. the student
should "never use the word 'requirement' " because instituting distribution requirements is only one possible solution to a complex
educational problem.
Student committee member Ira
Zimmerman said any changes in
SUNYA's requirements would not
affect students already enrolled. On
the subject of distribution requirements. Zimmerman said, "We
want students to get a good education, but lorcing a student is not the
answer."
Zimmerman wants to see innovation so that merely grades don't get
students "honors". He thinks that
what should also cound is having a
distinguished assortment ol courses.
One example he mentioned is the
course in the world food crisis. This
course is interdisciplinary and is
taught by professors from different
departments. He reasoned that if a
student can do well in this course, he
must be well rounded. He further
adds. "If distribution requirements
are the ultimate answer, then I hope
there is a bloody light over it."

SUNY Budget Shows Increase
The State University's 1977-1978
budget request culls tor a $61 million
increase, largely to cover inflation
and increased debt service payments
on further SUNY construction bondings.
The Trustees recommend, in their
approved request now to be sent to
the Governor, that the State increase
its support $22 million to offset the
debt service payments.
The State must act on the $22
million SUNY request byeitherraising students costs approximately
$ 10(1, appropriating the $22 million,
cutting the University's base budget
by that amount, or some combination of these three solutions.
The speculation is that prospects
for a real budget increase are poor
and further cutbacks muy be likely.
Tuition and room rent were raised
$10(1 each this year, producing $42
million in income offset revenues,
which, when added to the actual $9
million state support slash for this
year amounted to a $51 million state
reduction.
The problem lies in the 1977-78
$25 million debt service increase.
The debt service remained for this
year and the two previous at $130
milllion,allowing the slate to
reduce SUNY's budget this year by
$52 million while only reducing the
amount of money SUNY had to
spend by $9 million after increasing

Manhattan'Pimp Squad'
Wages War Against Sex
NEW YORK (AP) A police "pimp
squad" to lure prostitutes away from
the men they support, and a drive
against parking lots that become
"drive-in whorehouses" at night are
the. latest moves in the unending war
against sex in mid-Manhattan's
Times Square.
The existence of the pimp squad,
and its leaflet campaign to alert
street girls to the possibility of ending their servitude to the pimps,
was disclosed Tuesday at a hearing
of the State Assembly's Committee
on Child Welfare.
The same committee heard three
young women, residents of the
Phoenix House drug rehabilitation
program, tell how they ran away
from home at the ages of 11, 13 and
IS respectively, eventually becoming
prostitutes to support the drug
habits of their older lovers.
All three told of running away
from alcoholic parents who beat
them, living in hallways and parks
until "befriended" by the older men
who became their pimps.
Meanwhile, representatives of
neighborhood groups in the Times
Square area, including a priest from
a Catholic Church on West 42nd
Street, went before the City Council's consumer affairs committee to
demand a measure requiring that
parking lots be closed at night to
transient sex.
Representatives of the parking lot
industry opposed the proposal to
close the lots with gates or chains,
saying only a few, if any, of the city's
1,200 lots were being used for
prostitution.
At the legislative committee hearing Sgt. George Trapp, head of the
pimp squad, said it has brought
about the arrest of 54 pimps and 11
"pimp associates" since April.
In recent weeks, he said, the squad
also has been trying to "gain the con-

A district court in the nation's

that could permit persons to legally
smoke marijuana to treat such discomforts as headaches, insomnia or
menstrual cramps.
The Washington court ruled last
week that persons may smoke pot if
it is a "medical necessity." The case
in question involved a 28-year-old
teacher, Robert Randall, who was
busted on pot possession charges last

Randall, who is functionally blind

help them "get out of the game."
Trapp said police were taking a
leaf from the book of the youths who
daily hand out leaflets to advertise
the area's massage parlors.
"We figured if it worked lor them,
it'll work for us," he added.
The leaflets are headed "Attention
Prostitutes of New York," and ask:
"Arc you tired of giving all your
money to your pimp'.'Getting beat or

The latest wrinkle in sex-selling,
the "open-air bordello" of the parking lot, was described to the council
committee by Austin Collier, an actor and officer of a block association who said he had often seen
prostitutes at work in parked cars in
the lots.
The Rev. Robert Rapplcyea of
Holy C r o s s Church, said
"prostitutes and drugs go on and on"
in the lots.
"The new kick now is sadomasochism with its beatings and
shouts and noise," he said. "The
behavior in the lots is uncivilized."
While the hearings were in
progress, police were padlocking a
massage parlor known as the
"Pleasure Palace", alter getting a

MILITARY EDSELS
You've heard about all those
w e a p o n s t h e Pentagon has
stockpiled that can destroy the entire
world many times over.
Well, now. Qui magazine in an article tilled "Military Edsels," is out
with a list ol the most recent military
boondoggles the million dollar
weapons systems that reportedly
don't work.
Management Consultant Hill
tiros, writing in the January edition
ol Qui, reports, lor instance, thai
more than $25 million was recently
spent by the Department of Defense
lo develop laser-guided artillery
shells at $5,000 each.
The trouble is that the guidance
system requires that someone get
close enough to the target to shine a
laser light beam on it and then keep
the light on the target until the shell
hits. The Pentagon, Efros reports,
hasn't been able to find a volunteer
to stand near the targets.
In addition to that, Efros says that
the laser system didn't work in rain,
snow, fog, hail or on a cloudy d a y only on sunny days.
Another military boo boo, Efros
reports, is the phalanx automated
gun attached to radar that is supposed to track an incoming missile,
compute its course and fire back at
it. The phalanx bombed out with
Pentagon brass, however, when,
during a simulated test, it identified
the Santa Harbara Islands as an incoming missile.
DULL SEX LIFE
Reports that turkeys have dull sex
lives arc untrue. As a matter of fact,
the turkey growers association says
thai turkeys have no sex lives at all.
It turns out thai all breeding is
done by artificial insemination,
often alter turkey hens and loms
have been matched by computer.
Sex is banned in the turkey pens
because an amorous 50-pound torn
would crush the rib cage of a 20pound hen.
Members of the Monty Python
group have incorporated for tax
reasons in the United States. The
name of their company: Evado Tax,
Incorporated.
LOST BOMB
If you happen to sec a 1200-pound
nerve gas bomb lying around
somewhere, the United States Army
would be very pleased if you would
let them know about it.
The Rocky Mountain Arsenal in
Denver revealed this week that, after
a three-year effort, army demolition
experts had finally detoxified all of
the nerve gas bombs being stored in
the Denver area.
According lo the official report,
exactly 21,114 bombs were
neutralized. Ihc problem is that the
Army's official inventory states that
there should have been exactly 21,115 nerve gas bombs--not 21,114in stock. The Army admits that, for
some unknown reason, il is one
bomb short.
STERILITY
The U.S. Government's Indian
Health Service performed sterilization operations on 3400 American
Indians, reportedly without telling
many patients thai the operation was
not necessary, and without obtaining their proper consent.
The General Accounting Office
(The G.A.O.) issued a report this
week on the sterilizations after conducting an investigation into the
sterilizations of native Americans at
the request of South Dakota Senator
James Abourezk. Abourezk said he
had asked Ihc G. A.O.. the watchdog
agency of Congress, to look into the
matter after receiving numerous
complaints that Indian women were
being sterilized as a birth control
procedure without their consent or
knowledge.
The G.A.O. report covers lour
areas administered by the Indian
Health Service in the Southwest over
a four-year period. I he investigation
lound that most ol the sterilizations
were performed on Indian women,
between the ages ol 15 and 44.
Thirty-six ol the women sterilized
were under the ages of 21, despite a
A spokesperson at the Rocky
Mountain Arsenal insists il is "highly improbable" that anyone removed
one ol the 1200-pound bombs from
the high security areas in which they
were stored. The Army is writing off
the missing bomb as an "inventory
error."
CELL AND BOARD
Ihc State of Michigan, in a
bizarre move, has filed suit against a
prison inmate in an attempt to
colled room and board for his stint
in jail.
The Michigan Attorney General's
Office has tiled the action against inmale Charles Frum, who was convicted recently of receiving stolen
properly.
According to the suit, under the
rarely used "Prison Reimbursement
Act ol 1935," Ihe slate may require
reasonable well-to-do inmates lo pay
$12.14 a day for their lime spent in
prison. Frum, needless to say, has
declined to pay for his cell and
board.

To the Editor:
Here we go again with the usual complaints
about the SUNYA-Shutlle. I guess we all have
to cope with a time schedule that doesn't work
most of the time because the drivers get tired
of waiting and leave earlier or take a coffee
break. But we dor.t have to accept bad treatment from these drivers.
On Wednesday morning, December 1st, a
lot of people were, as usual, waiting in the cold
on Partridge-Western all trying to make it to
nine o'clock classes. A bus coming in half
full is immediately rushed at by freezing
students. When the bus still easily can fit
another five or six persons, the bus driver,
without any warning, closes the door, leaving
a guy closed in the door. Naturally, he lets the
driver know the wrong he had done. Both of
them get fairly upset. The driver rises from his
seat and violently throws the guy off the bus
which he tried to get on. No other passenger
was taken up to school. Never before, during
my years here, have I seen anybody thrown
out ol a bus. Shall we really accept this? Who
knows to whom it will happen next'.' Some
drivers really need a change ol jobs.

true awareness . .
To the Kdilor:
As one who has a deep and solemn respect
lor historical truth and clarity, I felt it was my
duty to respond to lorn Schcrbenko's bizarre
dencgration of Israel Awareness Week and the
Slate ol Israel in his recent column, "Israel
Awareness: Just a Resourceful Country?"
hirst and foremost, it is absolutely

body at Albany to thoroughly understand that

all topics,'for those who were inquisitive
enough to seek it out. Obviously, Mr.
Scherbenko was not one of them.
This, however, is hardly the end of Mr.
Schcrbenko's slanderous efforts. His entire
column is, in fact, inundated with anti-Zionist
demagoguery, antisemitic overtones, and
worn out cliches aimed at villifying and defacing the nationalist movement of the Jewish
people. A brief letter to the ASPis hardly the To the Editor:

. . . or lots of lies?
It is only proper that, in the course of discussing an issue, the entire picture is
presented. Unfortunately Mr. Scherbenko did
not so this in his discussion of South Africa.
As is substantiated by the article which
appeared on the Op-Ed page of The New York
Times two weeks ago, there are many other
countries which have economic relations with
South Africa. Israel's trade with South Africa
accounts for less than one half of one percent
of South Africa's foreign trade. The rest of it is
with various countries of the United Nations,
most notably Black Africa and the Arab
states. We are neither defending nor criticizing
Israel's policy in this area, however, since Mr.
Scherbenko seems to feel so strongly about
this issue, we are surprised that he docs not
hand out even greater condemnations of the
Arab states involved.
With regard to Mr. Scherbenko's misstatement about Israel's treatment of Oriental
Jews, we are proud to say that Israel's policy is
one of absorption, education, and job training, Ol all the countries in the world. Israel lias
made the biggest effort to ensure that her immigrants can become comfortable in Israeli
society while maintaining their own identities
and cultures.
Mr. Scherbenko brings up the point thai
Israel invaded Eygpt in 1956. Let us get the
facts straight. We are not denying that Israel
invaded Eygpt in 1956, but the reasons behind
the invasion must be brought to light. Israel
attacked Eygpt because Eygpt ignored the armistice of 1949, illegally closed the Sue/ Canal
to Israeli shipping, and broke the agreement in
various other ways. Therefore, it was I'aypt
who provoked the Israeli attack thai led to the
1956 war. It was act of survival.
In 1973, Israel's primary concern rained
from national security lo world opinion. Due
to this shift, Israel did not attack ligypl «lien
Egypt was mobilizing her troops lor an attack
against Israel, hut instead waited tor ligypl hi
attack. The repercussions ol this decision KCK
near tragic.
To say that we should consider ilie Smict
Union as a friend to Israel because »l hei actions in 1948 is the same as saying that the I nited States should have no relations with
England because of the actions nt King
George 111 during and proceeding the
American Revolution.

One recent Tuesday afternoon,
the co-op's home was lull of the bustle ol its members as they rummaged
lor the food they had ordered a few
days before. The room is small and
dimly lit. the ceiling is low, and the
walls are ol brick and stone and

Irom the ceiling, and a piano sits

chattering to their friends or to the
air.
"Let's take care of the cheese. You
start cutting, I'll start bagging,"
suggests Reszin Adams, the Co-op's
coordinator. Exuberant and affable,
the locks of her long wavy hair bouncing on her be-sweatshirted
shoulders as she scurries from one
end of the room to the other to help
her friends, she appears to be the
only person around who understands the operation. Intermittently, she gets the opportunity to
sit down to work on the cheese with
her companion, and before long,
delicate morsels and massive chunks
ol Swiss, provelone. mo/.zerella,and
cheddar arc weighed and packaged.
"fhe co-op is an alternative to
capitalisi business." declares Honnic
Suttleman during her rounds Irom
station lo station. "Middle-class
families would rather go to
supermarkets they are not concerned at all with the energy expenditure involved."
Marie t'omeau dislikes supcrmarkei shoppingand feels the Co-op
"...is one ol the lew places where you
can gel fresh fruits and vegetables. I
do just about all ol my shopping

"I wish they had things like yogurl
here, bul they have no relridgeration," complained one member.
Ralph Blackwood says he learned
ol Ihe Co-op through friends. Is he
salislied'.'"Ycs! The savings are quite
large."
"Food tends to he fresher here
than at supermarket." explained
another member. "It doesn't hang
around lor a long time. And if
something isn't good, yon can refuse
it."
Sue Kiempa says confidently that
"...there's only good food here
Reszin rejects the rest. You have
someone here who is responsive to
your ideas about the quality of food.
Everything is top quality."
Ms. Adams leaves the cheese table
to say a lew words about the Co-op's
operation. But she is still much in demand; members need help in finding
the more exotic items, some ask
about work assignments, others
come lo chat.
"We've been at this location for
about lour years," she begins. "Now
we're a much smaller co-op than we
once were,.,I'm not interested in
expanding—it works well on a small
scale. Bul if more people wanted to
join, we would accomodate them."
She calls Ihe participation of
members "...a little uneven. We have
people who order once in a while
who never work. Most ol I he work is
done on Tuesdays...and everyone
can conveniently put in some time."
Although , group of people can

original. In one scene, the stormy

The question of whether pornography corrupts has become a
scientific issue. In a society where
there are no clear moral or sexual
standards that everyone accepts, the
arguments for banning or restricting
pornography tend to become empirical. Docs it do harm? Or does it
do good'.' The whole premise of the
argument on pornography has been
that one can show it has clear effects,
be they good or bad, and that these
are demonstrable.
This is obviously an almost impossible question to answer. Is the motor car good or bad? This might pass
muster as a question designed to

center of the building is used by religious
groups for their services.
On the right of the main room is the

perhaps originally designed as the den,
the walls are covered with old wooden
bookcases. They hold numerous volumes
of magazines and books on subjects of
religion, philosophy, ethics, sociology,
and others related to the topic of faith.
The room is furnished simply with soft
chairs and couches, creating an excellent
atmosphere for reading and reflection.
To the left of the main conference room
are two other rooms. One is a small octagonal room with a piano and brick
fireplace. Above the fireplace an antique

free community dinner. The meal is open
to anyone who is hungry, and those who
do attend usually bring a small donation
such as baked goods.
For the most part, the upstairs rooms
at Chapel House serve as offices for the
staff. The bedrooms of the original country house have been converted into office
space quite simply. One of the upstairs
rooms does not serve as an office. This
new addition is used as a meditation
room. This small and cozy room is fully
carpeted and has wooden walls and a
brick fireplace. The windows in this room
look out into the wooded area behind the
house and allow the alternon sun to come
in. The only furniture in the meditation
room arc pillows. It is a much needed

yellow in their dance about the
Virgin. Sheathed in I translucent
nebula, the planet appeared as if
enswathed in a filmy cocoon; Due to
the peculiar refractive propertiei of
this mist, the light from the two suns
blended together and imparted a diffuse green glow to the aura about the
planet. This emerald shroud was a
most fitting garment, as the Virgin's
verdant surface abounded with
teeming life. Sheets of green foliage
encased this world. Multitudes of
rodent-like creatures skittered
between thick treetrunks engorged
with sap. Graceful antelope raced
across tawny plains, bearing fantastically intertwined antlers atop
their heads. Veiled in a tenuous
green blanket, the planet spun about
a pair of suns that had never warmed
a man.
Silently, the engines of the Uypsy
belched forth their last remaining
drops of fuel.
Leaning back in his chair, the man
glanced at the ship's indicators. The
enumerable rows of dials, levers, and
lights informed him that all had gone
as planned. His eyebrows raised
slightly, and with lips drawn tight, he
coldy complimented his executioners' efficiency.
On a world renowned for meting
out both elaborate and inescapable
forms of punishment for criminal
offense, the man had been declared
an irreformablc outlaw. His exotic
fate had been conceived by an exceptionally imaginative panel of judges.
He was locked inside a tiny space
cruiser, the Uyosy. and brought by a
large transport vessel to within a
short distance of the planet Virgin.
Upon exhausting the meager fuel
supply, the inexorable laws of nature
dictated that he spiral into the atmosphere and slam into the fertile
surface.
The man, while living on his home
world, had at one time received
training in the design and construction of space vehicles. He found
himself somewhat familiar with the
rows of intricate devices lining the
interior of the spacecraft. He wished
that he were able to examine these
indicators more closely, but the
possibility of free movement was
precluded by the presence of bulky
banks of complex machinery jutting
out at him. He recalled that the type
of craft in which he was now imprisoned was basically intended to
operate within close proximity to a
planetary body. As such, it should
possess a gauge of sorts indicating
the ship's altitude above the ground,
as this information would be required by the pilot.
Minutes later, his eyes narrowed
on a luminous orange disc whose
periphery was calibrated in units of
distance. A sharply tapered needle
extended across the radius. He had
found the altimeter. He gazed fixedly at the pointer, determining its exact position against the increments
along the dial. At first, he attributed
the infinitesimal movements of the
pointer to harmless perturbations in
his orbit. Seconds later, the indecisive tremors ceased. The black
needle shuddered and began a slow
clockwise descent. He was losing
altitude.
He scanned the instruments with a
quickness that betrayed'the fear now
creeping over him. Levers proved in-
operative, and their ineffective clicks
provided the rhythm to accompany
his cursing. His fellowmen had been
thoughful enough to include a
spacesuit (through no act of charity;
it was certainly an oversight). This
made little difference, as he was now
well within the gravitational field of
the Virgin. Even if he were able to
leave the ship, he would only follow
it in his fatal plunge.
An unmarked button caught his
attention. He remembered that years
ago, when his people were at war,
many ships carried information and
equipment which were never intended to fall into enemy hands. Slowly,
the function of the button occured to
him. A while ago, the thought of intentionally destroying himself was
inconceivable, but he had known
once of a ship belonging to his world
which had lost all power while orbiting some planet. It had begun to
plummet into the atmosphere, friction with the air had heated the interior until the metal within the ship
softened and flesh burnt and cracked. He had heard a transmission
received from the doomed ship,
before the heat had caused the radio
aboard the ship to explode, For a
time alter, nightmares razed his sleep
as visions of blackened hands fused

Had Ywar Grttz
Today?
Hard Rain
By MATT KAUFMAN
George Uritzbach is one of many die-hard
musicians playing the blues in the Northeast at
small bars and coffeehouses. Unlike moat of
these bluesmen, Uritzbach has recorded an
album, entitled Had Your drill Today?
Most of the songs on the album are original
compositions, and only on three of the albums
14 tunes is Uritzbach singing and fancy fingerpicking enjoined by other musicians. For the
most part, Uritzbach performs alone on the
album, without overdubs.
Uritrbach's music has two strong points on
this album, his vocals and his fingerpicking.
His voice is deep and bluesy, and sounds much
older than you'd guess by looking at his young
face. Hut it is Gritzbach's guitar playingthat is
the true star of this album. A highlight is a
piece entitled "Ballad for Reverend Gary
Davis."
Rev. Davis was one of the best and most
reknown lingerpickin' bluesmen until he died
a lew years ago. Before Davis' death. Uritzbach was taking guitar lessons from him.
A lew of the tunes are instrumental* that
feature Urit/bach's lancy linger picking, such
as I'apa John Miller's "Skippin'Thru The fall
Urass ih the Moonlight."
For the benefit of the aspiring guitarist,
each song is listed on the jacket with the key it
is play in, along with special tunings.
One of the best songs is Robert Johnson's
"Kind Hearted Woman." As producer Hd
Denson said. "Listen to the way the guitar and
the voice work together . . . Cieorge does
well with it."
I hough (irit/bach's musicianship is of
superior quality, the production is Hawed.
Generally, the album lacks the sterile recording quality ol a modern 16-track recording
studio, the quality is not consistent, and during one song there is a sharp decrease in the
sound level. At a recent interview. Grit/bach
remarked that he had intended to re-record
the song for this album.
Overall, the recording job is adequate, and
the alburn has a.feeling qf'Warmth found on
blues records made many years ago. Like
many ol those old records, you probably won't
be able to find this one in your favorite record
store. Instead, il you want to purchase this
album, mid lind out about a whole slew of
similar recordings, you have to write to: Kicking Mule Records. Box .12.1.1. Berkeley.

along with the record is available from the

country's human resources." We are happy to
hear of this change in policy and hope that Mr.
Scherbenko will s o o n inform the Soviet Union
of it, since their actions prove that they know
nothing of such a policy. O n the contrary, people who ask for freedom t o immigrate to Israel
are punished by the Soviet Union. They are
harassed, tired from their jobs, and in many
cases, sent t o labor camps.
In reference t o the refugee issue which Mr.
Scherbenko mentioned, it should be pointed
out that it was the Mult of Jerusalem and the
other Arab'leaders w h o were the creators, of
this problem.'It is because of their actions that
the Palestinians left; when Israel urged them
to remain in their homes. Many Jews have.
been, and are still being, forced to flee from,
Arab lands. However, we d o not see reports
about the Jewish refugee problem because
Israel strives t o absorb them as quickly as
possible and at her own cost. On the other
hand, the Arabstatcs have let their refugees remain in refugee camps so that this false issue
may be kept alive.
We have now pointed out many of the untruths which fill T o m Scherbenko's article.
The last one that we will deal with is his c o m plaint concerning Student Association funding; a complaint that he has raised previously. The fact that T o m Scherbenko is a writer
for the ASP leads one to believe that he
respects the value of a newspaper. It is not only
a vehicle for airing opinions but also should be
read to learn the facts and opposing viewpoints. In our letter, 'Culture, Not Polities',
which appeared in the Sept. 28 issue of the
ASP, we dealt with this complaint regarding
SA funding. If Mr. Scherbenko was reully
concerned about seeking the truth, there
would be no need lor us to once again slate the
facts, lor he would have read the letter. T o
quote from that letter, "since S A does not fund
political or religious activities, no S A funds
are used lor these types of events." Furthermore, "SA funds support programs ranging
from student visits t o senior citizens, having
Hebrew bands on campus, to orgnni/.inga performing dance group, to educating people
about World Jewry and Israel." Il is this kind
of cultural and educational experience that

sical and it is meant to in order to illustrate the
silliness and bigotry in labeling all snotty people "JAPs".
Secondly, according t o the article, only
females are snotty, spoiled people. Gray
makes references to Cover Girl, mascara,
"battered women," etc., which can lead the
reader to believe that only women fit into the
category he describes. Certainly, many men fit
this description as well.
Thirdly, to return to Mr. Gray's assertion
that "JAH" can apply to any race or religion,
why does he refer t o "JAPs" with "eight inch
chais" or why does he associate "JAPs" with
bagels? In referring to S U N Y A a s a haven for
"JAPs" why does Mr. Gray indicate that
S U N Y A stands lor "Send Us N o Young
Arabs"? The answers to these questions are
obvious. Suffice it to say, by claiming the term
"JAP" can apply t o anyone regardless of race
or religion, and then by indicating otherwise in
his article, Mr. Gray is one of the genus
"hypocritical" and of the species "bigot."
Hopefully, this creature will soon vanish from
the lace of the earth. The sooner the better.

guns
on campus?
To the Kditor:
Communication, or rather the lack of il.
That is the true source of an issue on campus
which is now only potentially dangerous. That
issue is whether or not the university police
force should armed with handguns.
This is a difficult problem to approach, for
the group most affected by the final decision,
the student body, is laced with a dilemma.
When formulating an opinion, d o wc consider
such factors as the recent series of rapes, thus a
need for crime prevention, or d o we consider
the potential danger of arming a security force
in an atmosphere of uncertainty?
editorial
Guns Under Fire
The possession and potential use offirearmsby SUNYA's Public
Safety Department is once again a campus issue. The anti-gun faction
advocates no guns at all. The pro-gun faction supports the arming of all
officers. But neither of these extreme positions represent the best
solution.
A totally unarmed police force means free reign for anybody on
campus with a gun. An officer cannot be expected to confront an armed
criminal with a wooden club. True, the Albany City Police can be
summoned for armed support, but by the time they arrive innocent
people may already be dead. Emergencies tend to have a certain
immediacy about them.
The arming of all campus police officers doesn't make sense either,
simply because there are many daily routines and activities undertaken
where there is no need to bear arms. For an officer issuing parking
tickets or directing traffic, the possession of a gun would only encourage
its misuse.
Clearly, students want to be protected. Yet some students fear that the
police might use guns against them. But students cannot allow their
wariness of armed police to override concern for the danger posed by
unchecked, armed criminals on the SUNYA campus.
Without question, there are situations which can arise on campus
where police will be unable to protect the public without the aid of
firearms. Guns are readily available in our society, and are frequently
used in the perpetration of criminal offenses. At the same time, there is
no guarantee that police will never misuse guns. After all, they are
human beings, capable of irrational or mistaken judgements.
The horns of this dilemma are difficult to grapple with, thus the best
solution is to between them. SUN Y A's firearm policy should be tailored
to make guns readily accessible to qualified campus police officers when
the need for them is clearly justified, but keep armed police away from
students as much as possible.- Guidelines for the bearing of guns by
camrras officers—defining when and where they maybejbarried—must
be formulated and strictly enforced.
The goal here is to maximize public protection while minimizing the
risk involved in providing that protection. The total disarmament of
campus police hinders the former cause, while total armament works
against the latter. The controlled arming of campus police is the best
means for achieving this end.
As lar as most students are concerned,
security is around to ticket our cars, show up
alter lire alarms and occasionally hassle us
around the perimeter. Our security force is unfamiliar to us as we are to them. This unlamiliarity creates uncertainly and the uncertainty breeds fear.
Therein lies the potential danger of the
issue. We must anticipate situations on campus, whether I hey involve one or two people in
ii minoi incident or a group in n demonstration, iliat will lorce n security officer to make a
quick decision; to act withoin the use ol a

could have used. So why the hell can't you
define it for this obviously sincerely ignorant
person? Wait, how can you be certain of his
sincerity or ignorance . . . surely he (he/she)
'is familiar with i t . . . surely they who have
been moaning " We've all been socialized" all
semester, surely they know . . .
That's the way I feel right now. Love is but a
footnote, and everything requires cross
references. Options? As the sixth garage bus
passes us I hear several. " I ' m going to drop out
and go to Denver." Suicide is mentioned.
Arizona. Lying about a death in the family.
Dropping out and going to Denver is no
solution—The mountains looked better on
your Sierra Club posters, all the Denver populace is bummed-out New Yorkers and
remember the reason you're here is so you can
get out with a degree. Suicide? Wasn't I'lath a
suicide and wail 'til you realize you've nothing
lo do New Year's Eve. Arizona? D o you
honestly (or dishonestly, which is probably
cheaper) want to live with people who fill in
the blank nexi lo Occupation with breathing?
And besides, you killed off your nuclear family freshman year. Remember the ole "1 can't
take your exam our holler blew' up and my
mother and lather and brothers, they . . ."
You've aborted more times than you've had
sex and mono is a myth . . . so there are
always I lie Brothers Notes C'lill and
Monarch, who I have always believed wrote
every piece ol literature and do you know how
he feels about incompletes?

"You realize that from now 'til Christmas
(Keep the X in Xmas, a bumper sticker admonishes) it'll be pure hell," he says to me as
the tilth garage bus drives past us, waiting at
the circle. "This is like waiting for Godot,"
someone mutters and everyone ignores the all
too familiar simile. "Here we have a circle,
perfect, but empty," he continues. We arc all
gazing towards Colonial, having forgotten
that a watched bus never comes. It is the most
joyous of seasons and the worst part of the
semester. Soon we will be swallowing black
beauties whole, as we never quite did the fairy
tale. I am making a list of things to do and a list
of options. I am always making lists and then
losing them. The first item on the next list I
make is always " I . Kind old list." I will omit
the things to do, as it is more than likely that
you too have fifty thousand pages of reading
(or underlining, if you are in the social
sciences), then papers and exams, and if you
d'ni't. I don't want to hear about il - misery

Jockettes Take WIRA Crown Again
by Joe Tackle
The Jockettes of the WIRA Flag
Football League have for the second
consecutive season captured the
WIRA Championship. The
Jockettes did it going away, finishing
the season undefeated, 7-0, including
a pre-season scrimmage. In their last
two years, the Jockettes have not lost
a football game. All total the
Jockettes scored a record 243 points
offensively, while defensively allowing a mere 62 points.
Strange Competition
The Jockettes clinched the championship during the fourth game of
DRIVE OUR CARS
FREE
To Florida, California and
the season. Though no victory was
achieved by a margin less than six
points, the Jockettes faced tough
competition against the teams
"Afternoon Delight" and "Strange."
The explosive offense was led by
senior running backs and cocaptains Nancy "Touchdown" Paffrath and Norine "Broken Nose"
Karst. A combination of Paflrath's
running and Karst's blocking and
pitching sprung a running game
which often controlled the tempo of
a game.
When it wasn't Paffrath and
Karst, Sherri Zimet took charge,
playing both split end and runningback in place of Karst. Sherri's
excellent blocking and pass-catching
turned short gains into long ones. If
the defense keyed on Paffrath and
Karst, the team had the option of going to Zimet.
Skipper Uranltski
Quarterback Kathy Uranitski's
passing and ball-handling skills
directed the offense. Opening large
holes and protecting the quarterback
during the season was the "immovable force" of Kyle Lucy,
Phredd Kunz, Katie MacUowanand
Leah Zafran.

COLONIAL QUAD BIJOU presents:
Plattsburgh: SUNYAC Favorite
Defending champion Plattsburgh,
returning the entire starting team
that finished fourth in last March's
NCAA Division Hi national tournament, heads the list of contenders for
the 1976-77 State University of New
York A t h l e t i c Conference
(SUNYAC) basketball pennant. According to pre-season forecasts by
conference coaches, Albany, Oneonta, and Brockport will be the Cardinals' closest pursuers, with several
other teams rated as "dark horses."
Coach Norm Law rallied his
Plattsburgh team from a slow start
lasy year to win the SUNYAC title
with a 9-1 mark, sweep through the
NCAA East Regional*, and defeat
the New England representative,
before losing twice in the national
finals. Among the returnees this year
are All-SUNYAC performers Larry
Parker and Ron Wright, plus five
other lettermen.
Parker, a 6'6 junior, was the
leading conference rebounder (17.2)
and fifth in scoring (17.7). Wright, a
guard, led SUNYAC scorers with a
21.9 average. The Cardinal's only
conference loss a year ago was by
nine points al Oswego. They clinched the title with a final-game win
over runner-up Oneonta.
Oneonta, 8-2 a year ago, lost conference MVP and number two

21.4 scoring average was the conference's third best. Four other key
players return, giving Boozer a
veteran club that could challenge for
the top this time around,
Starters Out
The unexpected loss of two
starters rocked Oeneseo. AllSUNYAC Mark Klein, the conference's fourth leading scorer
(18.8), left school for academic
reasons, while team MVP'Steve
Hemenway, the No. 4 SUNYAC
rebounder (9.2), is ineligible to play.
They led the Blue Knights to a 4-6,
tied for seventh, finish a year ago.
Coach Tom Pope, a winner all seven
years at (ieneseo, must blend six
lettermen with several newcomers.
The top veterans are senior guards
Glenn Whalen and Kevin Canty, 6'7
center Pat Moriarty, and forward
Paul Tubinis. The best-looking
rookie is 6'3 Kevin Westfall, a
transfer forward.
Potsdam has its top six scorers
back from last year's youthful,
rebuilding team that went 3-7. One
of the victories was an upset of
Albany. Bob Ulrich, Ron Ezzie,
Charles Richardson, Paul Meade,
and Paul Hardy are the top
returnees. Tom Hutchinson, a standout before missing last year withan
injury, also is back for Jerry Welsh.
Women Cagers Begin Season Tonight
by Debi Schwartz
The women's basketball team
opens its 14-gamc schedule tonight
against Oswego at University Ciymnasium.
A quick glance al the Danettes
shows a very short team—70 per cent
of the players are under the 5'7 mark
and 40 per cent below 5'4. To
counleracl this height disadvantage,
they will have to rely mainly on their
speed in addition to utilizing a zone
defense and fastbrcaking techniques.
The rebounding chores will fall
mainly on Ellen Daly, a 5'l I junior,
who is a newcomer to the squad.
Helping her out in the forward spots
will be Mary Ann Crotty (5'7'/j
sophomore), Mary Ellen Foley (5'7
senior), and Kathy Harig (5'7
sophmore)—all returnees. Junior
Paula Canasick (5'8), a first season
player, rounds out the forecourt.
Playmaker Sugihara
In the backcourt, the Danettes will
rely on Tracy Sugihara (sophomore,
5'0) lor ball-handling and playmaking. Assisting her will be Marilyn
Hinden (junior; 4'10), and Nancy
Uarllc (senior; 5'4). Two freshmen,

eight lettermen back and should

Despite the loss of nine lettermen,
Brockport coach Mauro Panaggio is

Injuries to two key players
hobbled the Albany Great Dane
basketball team last night as it opened its 1976-77 season against Marist
at the University Gym.
Senior guard Gary Trevett, who
missed the final ten games last year
with a broken wrist, has been
bedridden for more than a week with
a severe charley horse in his thigh.
"I'll be surprised if he's able to play
before the Capital District Tournament (Dec. 28-29)," said Coach Dick
Saucrs, who added that Trevett "was
playing the best of our guards"
before getting hurt. The 6'2
playmaker is Albany's all-time assist
leader.
Bad Back
Captain Bob Audi, a senior
forward, injured his back in a scrimmage and is unlikely to see any action until next week. "There is
nothing structurally wrong," Sauers
reported, "but he's having muscle
spasms and stiffness that may take
time to heal." Audi averaged 11.0
points a game last year.
Sauers was "more concerned
about having to go tothe bench than
about who starts," last night.
Without Trevett and Audi, the
Danes are down to nine varsity
players.
Starting against Marist were
senior Mike Suprunowicz and
sophomore Winston Royal in the
backcourt, 6'7 sophomore center
Barry Cavanaugh, and 6'3 senior Vic
Cesare and 6'2 sophomore Staton
Winston at the forwards. First off
the bench were junior Kevin Keane,
a three-year veteran who can play all
three positions, and sophomore
guard Buddy Wleklinski. Behind
them were sophomore frontcourters
Carmelo Verdejo and Dave Landry.
Suprunowicz and Royal were
starters last year, with the former
averaging 12.2 points a game as the
team's second leading scorer and the
latter coming on strong alter being
summoned from the JV when
Trevett was hurt. Cavanaugh led the
teamwitha 13.5 scoring average and
should be the dominant Albany
player again this winter. Cesare led
the team in rebounds, while scoring
at an 11.0 ppg pace. Winston 23.7
ppgwith the J V and has great potential.
Marist opened with a 106-78 loss
at Division I lona last week. Coach
Ron Petro's Red Foxes are inexperienced with only one starter—6'4
forward John McKee—back from
last season's 15-10 squad. Freshman
John Cogswell, whoscored ISpoints
against lona, started at the other
forward. In the backcourt were 5'9
Ken Grimes and 5'10 Ollie Jones,
both up from the JV. Lack of size at
guard hurt Marist against lona. The
center, 6'6 Neil Lajeunesse, who was
averaging seven ppg last year before
leaving the team in January, scored
15 at lona. Albany had won six of
eight games with Marist before last
night's game.
.SUNYAC Hopes
Tomorrow's game against Cortland will be Albany's first hurdle in
the Dane's attempt to win the State
University of New York Athletic
Conference title for the first time.
Coach Al Stockholm is pinning his
hopes on transfers, three of whom
will be in starting line-up; 6'5 Gerald
Greiner, 6'4 Jim Staak, and 6'7 Tom
Howitt. Stockholm looks to them to
provide the strong inside game that
was lacking in last winter's 4-18
team. The guards are returnees Ed
Leone and Terry Murphy, with
Mike Valenti, former Albany J',
player, as a backcourt sub.
Albany, which won at Cortland
last year, 75-45, leads the series
between the two teams, 14-7. Game

Fieldhouse Vote To Be Decided
Council to Rule on Referendum Wednesday
by Jonathan Hodge*
The question of whet her to allow a
recreational fieldhouse financing
referendum to come before student
voters will be decided by Central
Council tomorrow night.
The fieldhouse, which would be
used to ease overcrowding in the
gym,is expected to cost approximately $2 million. The proposed referendum calls for a mandatory
student fee ol $l3.50asemesterfora
period of twenty years.
The referendum is the result of a
study conducted during the last nine
months by the Student Recreational
Center Committee. The final dollar
figure was arrived at by the committee's decision that a structure
similar to Boston College's
recreational complex would be most
suitable for the SUNYA campus.
Included in the referendum is a
stipulation that requires a voter turnout of 40 per cent. Of this 40 per
cent, a minimun of 60 per cent must
be in favor of the referendum. "The
committee felt that we could not go
forward Ion the fieldhouse] with
anything less than a mandate," explained committee chairman Robert
Squatriglia of the Office of Student
Lite.
In an effort to increase voter turnout, the proposal to Council contains plans for a new voting
procedure, said Squatriglia. Computer cards will be distributed to
students over a number of days.
Students will then fill in their social
security number.and vote.
The cards will be processed twice.
The first computer run will record
social security numbers to ascertain
whether the student is presently
enrolled and whether he has already
voted. When this is completed, the
social security numbers will be torn
off the ballots to insure secrecy.
The votes will then be tabulated.
The referendum will fail if less than
4,000 students vote or if, given at
least a 4,000 student turnout, less
than 2,400 students vote "yes" for the
fieldhouse.
The design for the fieldhouse was
chosen after examining various
alternatives presently being used on
other campuses. The Boston College
design was selected alter the committee rejected a 'bubble' concept
used at SUNY Buffalo as not being
permanent enough.
Architectural Estimates
The architect of the Boston
College structur, Dan Tulley, visited
SUNYA last semester. Tulley said
his buildings can be constructed in
about nine months. He estimates
that his buildings presently cost
between S38-S4I a square foot. Based on a committee's decision that a
fieldhouse of about 50,000 square
feet is needed, the target figure of $2
million was reached.
The fieldhouse, it' built, would
contain four indoor tennis courts
with the ability to expand to six.
Handball, paddleball and racquetball courts would be built as well as
a one-eighth of a mile track. Locker
rooms and saunas would be provided in addition to a number of smaller
area activities such as billiards, gymnastics and weight rooms.
In addition to its athletic func-
tions, the fieldhouse would provide
seating lor concerts. It is estimated
that the fieldhouse would be able to
seat between 4,500 and 5,500 people.
A referendum is required due to a
current SUNY freeze on the construction of capital projects. In
1971, SU N Y A was three weeks away
from the approval of a S3 million
recreational center bond when the
freeze was imposed, said Squatriglia.
The center would have been similar
to a structure at SUNY College at
Potsdam.
"During the summer we met with
two vice-chancellors," Squatriglia.
"When we told them about the plan
for students financing the fieldhouse
they said we were on the right track."
It' the referendum passes the mandatory tax would be imposed on all
The committee M l It could not go forward on the lleldhouse with
undergraduates with nine credits or
anything less than a mandate from the students, said Student
more. According to SA President

Potsdam Press Face Interference
by BUI Sloan
Any member of the student body
at Potsdam State now has the right
to take a Racquette editor before the
Student Judiciary Board. And ultimately, a student can have the
paper's budget frozen, if an article is

not printed to his satisfaction.
This new policy is the result of a
resolution, passed by a vote of 23-02, in the Nov. 19 session of the student senate. Penned by Senator Al
Sacks and seconded by David
Higgins, the resolution is policy lor a
year:
"Whereas the students of this
college uphold the idea of freedom of
the press
Therefore . . . we do hereby
resolve: that any student of this
college submitting any article or
letter to be printed in the Racquette,
and meeting the legal deadline for
entry, shall not be denied the right to
have his article printed. Material
deemed necessary to censor or alter
in any way which changes the
general intent or purpose of that article may be done for the purpose of
avoiding possible legal repercussions
which may subsequently, as a result
of its printing, be directed toward the
Racquette staff or the SCiA.
Should the author ol the article or
letter disagree as to the necessity of
the proposed changes, the author
may challenge the decision of the
Racquette through the court. The
decison of the court shall be final.
Any reason for non-publication of
an article or letter other than that of
foreseeable legal action taken
against the Racquette or SUA shall
consume an unreasonable breach of
freedom of access to the press as a
medium lor student expression.
Freezing Funds
Such a breach shall result in freezing ol funds to the Racquette
newspaper by the student senate.
In case more material is submitted
than could be printed, because of
space limitations, the Racquette, in
order to meet advertising
obligations, has the right to limit the
number ol letters submitted. They
then may print those letters the
following week if the author of the
letter wishes."
According to Senator Sucks,
"Right now the SUA could freeze
anyone's budget. If anything, this
resolution limits the SG A's power to
freeze the Racquctte's budget by setting guidelines for such action."
Gun Hearings To Begin Today
by Thomas Mirtello
The question of whether security
olficers should be allowed to carry
firearms will be discussed today at
the first of three University Community Council open hearings.
The discussion will focus on a
proposal by security officers to
modify SUNYA's Firearms Policy.
The modification would permit olficers assigned to motorized patrol
and the evening desk to carry
firearms, according to Director of
the Department of Public Safety
James Williams. Currently, 12ofthe
force's 48 officers are authorized to

carry firearms.
this proposal has met with student opposition, according to a
number of Central Council
members.
The proposed modification stems
from a letter two officers wrote to
President Emmett B. Fields requesting that he allow patrol officers
to carry firearms on duty and on
patrol. The letter, which was sent to
Fields Oct. 15, was in reaction to two
incidents with which the olficers felt
ill-equipped to deal unarmed.
One incident involved the
shooting out ot headlights with a
handgun.
"The olficers could have been shot
for their efforts," said Williams,
"They were unarmed officers."
The other incident was the arrest
of a non-student who had in his
possession a shotgun and a loaded
pistol.
"That was a real gun with real
bullets and they were two unarmed
officers. We've had other things. . .
these two incidents were the straws
that broke the camel's back," said
Williams,
In a letter to Acting Vice President
for Finance and Business John Hartigan, Williams supported the officers' request, Williams outlined a
number of serious crimes that have
occurred on campus in the past live
years and termed that request "not
unreasonable." He also modified the

Sacks believes that a change in
policy is needed. "A number of
students mentioned to me that they
had submitted articles that were not
printed. I am their senator, and they
asked if there was anything I couli
do."
Critics of the resolution have
stated that the new policy will enable
anyone to publish anything or to
freeze the budget. Sacks responded
by saying, "The resolution said articles and letters. I'm sure the senate
would not do anything so absurd as
to to freeze funds, if someone submitted something like a phone
book."
Directly opposing this point of
view, Editor-in-Chief of the Racquette, Bill La Rue had this to say, "I
feel the resolution has violated section 17 of the student code.
Therefore I will be protesting the
resolution in next week's senate session by submitting a new resolution
which will nulify the other."
Degrading Quality
He believes, "the resolution, if enforced, will cause a vast degradation
of the quality of the Racquette. Present editorial policies sufficiently
ported the student's access to the
Racquette."
La Rue also cited new editorial
policies voted in at a meeting of the
editorial board on October 3 of this
year.
The new rules state:

the right to confer with the editor
about changes in content.
