And It's Off To Kentucky
Danes Passed Over In East; Picked For Southern Bid
by David Osborn
After being denied a bid to the
Eastern Regional of the NCAA
Division III playoffs early Sunday
afternoon, a potential uproar from
the Albany State basketball team
was coated over when they were
notified later in the day that they had
been picked to play in the Southern
Regional bracket.
For the Danes, a third crack at the
national championship in the fiveyear old event will begin Friday
night when they are paired with
Savannah St. of Georgia in an opening round game in Danville, Kentucky. Centre College, the host
school, and Lane College of
Tennessee will meet in the other
semifinal with the winners playing
for the title Saturday night.
Although Albany failed to receive
a ticket to the Eastern Regional, the
local committee felt the Danes
deserved to be in the tournament and
recommended such a move to the
national selection committee. The
six-man group governing the selection process nationwide then tabbed
Albany to go southward due to a
lack of quality local teams in thai
region.
"I'm just happy to be in the tournament but I can't see how we were
picked fifth in our region behind
Pratt," said Dane coach Dick
Sauers, referring to the school that
received the final eastern bid. "I'm
gonna just try and get as much information on the teams in the regional
as possible, but I know they haven't
done well nationally lately."
Should Albany win the southern
bracket, they would advance to the
quarterfinals in the 32-team tournament. Preliminary NCAA plans
schedule the southern champ to host
the winner of the Great Lakes region
in the quarterfinals. Those plans
could be switched by the national
committee but in all likelihood
Albany would host that game if they
can escape from the south unscathed. The final four will advance to
Augustana College in Rock Island,
Illinois for the semifinals
on March 16 and 17.
Before the Danes could secure a
slot in the title chase, they had to survive an extensive scrutinizing
process by regional and national
committees that included debate,
arguments and conference calls con-

nccting men from the entire nation,
First, there was the eastern selection process. Potsdam emerged as
the SUNYAC entrant by compiling
the best record among the three
squads that tied as conference trichampions, Albany and Plattsburgh
included. St. Lawrence got an
automatic spot by winning the Independent Athletic Conference title
and Stony Brook was already
by seven.
"When you analyze the results it
seems just about equal, so for me
personally, it came down to two
t h i n g s , " Bailey c o n t i n u e d .
"Plattsburgh won the head-to-head
encounter although I realize it was in
overtime. Then for me, Albany came
to Oneonta and we beat them by a
point and Plattsburgh came here the
next week and beat us handily."
Meanwhile, with the dilemma
seemingly solved in favor of
Plattsburgh, and Albany in a virtual
state of limbo, there were other
feelings over the conference phone
line. By now it was about 11:30 and
the five had been talking for half an
hour. Lew Alexander of R1T, the unofficial chairman and presently
vacationing in Florida, spoke with
the others from his hotel room.
Pete Finnerty, Pace's athletic
director and another member of the
crew, voiced the sectional side of the
debate. He was arguing vociferously
for Manhattanville, 17-9. Finnerty
admitted to knowing very little
about the upstute teams and said he
had been placed on the committee to
give it more of a balance. He said he
factor against Plattsburgh now was
their two losses to Potsdam, a team
already in the tourney.
"Beating Stony Brook in that last
game was certainly a good pitch for
Pratt," said Hobart's Athletic Director William Stiles, the final member
of the group. "They also won their
conference, they had an excellent second half of the season and so many
of their losses came out of Division
III."
Bailey says he remembers
recommending teams for the
regional and some for a national
ranking and nothing else definitive
when the call ended shortly past
noon. There was no positive talk of
putting in a fifth possible squad and
any debate had left Plattsburgh atop
Albany anyway. At this time, the
Danes were even slipping from limbo.
Such advisory committees exist in
each of the eight sections and their
purpose is just that; advisory. Alexander as chairman then joined in
another conference call with the
national committee and offered his
suggestion for the Eastern Regional.
Apparently, using his prerogative as
Albany coach Dick Sauora strotsos a point during a 'timeout In tha D a n e * win over Oswego Saturday

guaranteed an at-large bid.
So when the five-member NCAA
eastern advisory board picked up
their respective telephones to join in
on a conference call at 11:00 a.m.
Sunday morning, their major chore
was to pick a fourth team to Till the
at-large berth. Leading that list of
eligiblcs were Albany, Pratt,
Plattsburgh, Manhattanville, Elmira
and Staten Island.
"Before anything else we wanted
to decide between Albany and
Plattsburgh," said Dave Bailey,
Oneonta's Athletic Director and one
of the selection committee members,
over the phone. "That evaluation
came to a virtual tossup. But
historically our conference is one of
the toughest Division HI leagues in
the nation and I felt we deserved two
teams in the tourney."
The matchup was impossible to
decide, according to Bailey. Albany
finished 18-6, Plattsburgh 17-8; the
Danes lost to their lone Div. I foe,
Colgate, and Plattsburgh i»at theirs,
Vermont. Both squads went into
overtime before succumbing to
Hamilton and the Danes lost to
Hartwick by 12, the Cardinals lost
relics on others for upstate information.
"To be perfectly frank with you 1
don't know much ubout the basketball upstute and 1 rely on Alexander
to fill me in," said Finnerty from his
Manhattan office near City Hall.
"I'm an old friend of Doc Sauers but
we have to try to get more teams
from down south in the tournament;
I've already got the Manhuttunville
people yelling at me down here."
Nearing 11:45, it came down to
Pratt and Plattsburgh. Despite a
lackluster 15-9 mark, Pratt had impressive credentials. Six of their
losses came to Division II squads
and one to Division I LIU. Ihe
leading plus for Pratt was thcir95-83
win over Stony Brook Saturday
night that was fresh on everybody's
mind and also gave them the
Knickerbocker Conference title over
Stony Brook,
During the discussion of Pratt, E.
Wuyne Sunderland, Pratt's Athletic
Director, left the conversation over
an obvious conflict of interests.
Nearing 12:00, the four men still participating brought the decision to a
vote and Pratt got the nod. A major
chairman, he put forward Albany as
a strong fifth by himself.
So now a conference call existed
between the eight regional chairmans and Ralph Mcsillen, the
Associate Director of Events for the
NCAA and the man directly in
charge of Division III basketball.
Since Alexander is not an official
national committeeman, he gave his
picks first and then hung up while

the Danes' fate was quite literally
tossed among men from ocean to
ocean.
According to Mcsillen, Alexander
presented his four and then made a
strong pitch for Albany, while also
mentioning Plattsburgh, and expounded on the Danes' prowess and
said he felt they deserved to be in the
tournament. Then he returned to the
sun-baked beaches of southern
Florida without knowing if his
recommendations had been approved.
"We're looking for teams that are
eligible to play and deserving to play
in the tournament," said Mcsillen
from Kansas City yesterday. "We
felt Albany State deserved to be in
the tournament. We've moved
qualified teams around before and
the SUNYAC conference has a very
good reputation because of their
past success in the tournament."
Mcsillen explained that the south
is a relatively weak spot for Division
III basketball and last year two teams
in the regional came from out of the
area. William Penn, a midwestern
school, is playing in the western
region this weekend so the trend continues. In some years spots in the 32team chase have been vacant rather
than fill them with mediocre teams.
The main casualty resulting from
Albany's bid was the proposed
fourth team from the southern
region. In an eight-state area encompassing 23 teams, the south has the
same advisory committee and to
show the precuriousness of their
decision, Transylvania St. of Kentucky was felt not to be deserving of
the spot by the national committee.
"I wanted the team from my
region to get in there so I wasn't in
favor of Albany State, you might
say," said Willie Shaw, the Athletic
Director at Lane, with a chuckle
yesterday from Tennessee. "But the
committee is essentially looking for
the best team and my fourth spot was
rejected and after a long debate and
discussion, Albany was in."
Shaw is the southern advisory
chairman and also a member of the
national group so he was involved in
the cross-continental debate that
eventually saw the Danes get a bid.
He said that aside from results, there
really is little realistic chance for him
and others to be up on a particular
region other than their own. They
took the word of Alexander that
Albany was a solid fifth in the cast
and deserved a shot.
Alexander was unavailable foi
comment and even a search to locate
his Floridian hotel was futile. Yet,
from all apparent evidence his word
placed Albany as a strong choice
over Plattsburgh. The national committee of course had 32 other
positions to quibble over and after
three hours, they acquiessed with
their decision.
Finnerty and Sunderlund both expressed satisfaction over Albany's
delegation to Kentucky and Bailey
was surprised Plattsburgh was passed over in favor of the Danes. Mcsillen said it will be interestingtosee

Alumni Quad Election Questioned
Council Procedures Investigated
by Steven Osier
Recent Central Council elections
to select two representatives from
Alumni Quad have come under fire
due to alleged deviations from mandatory procedure.
The first election, held two weeks
ago, was ruled invalid after it was
learned that ballots were not distributed to Brubachcr Hull. A new elec
tion, which ends today, has also been
assailed when it was revealed that
mandatory ASP ads announcing the
ballot had not been submitted, ac-,
cording to candidate Steven Cox.
Central Council-member Scott
Lonsbury said that the earlier elections were invalidated after candidate Marvin Fcrmin filed protest,
citing the lack of ballotting in Brubachcr Hall as grounds. Lonsbury
said that, after informing SA President Paul Feldman of the situation,
Feldman "snid that they would be
back the next day."
Elections Commissioner Jane Beiber acknowledged the problem, but
said that Brubachcr was overlooked
because in the past voter turn-out
was quite low.
"In the last election," she explained, "only four people voted in
three days of ballotting , , . and this
time I left them off. However, after
the first day, when Fermin threatened to appeal, I returned the ballots
to Brubacher. Fermin said that he
wouldn't contest the elec ton, but he
did anyway."
Fcrmin argued that, since he lives
in Sayles Hall, and most residents of
that dorm eat in Brubacher, (he elimination of it as a polling place was
unfair. Central Council upheld his
appeal.
The current election has not been
spared controversy cither,
"According to the rules," said
Brubachar Hall on Alumni Quad was tho sight of one election foul up.
Deleted names, deleted ballots, deleted the election.
Cox, "an add is to be taken out in the
ASP announcing the election. They
just decided not to do it this time."
Bciber explained that the decision
not to place the ad was made "in
order to get the election over as
quickly as possible." Currently, two
of the three Alumni Quad seats are
vacant, a situation wind, prompted
Cox to ask that Central Council not
vote on several issues until the quad
can be properly represented,
Lonsbury said that "it appears
that regulations were once again not
followed in order to expedite the election as soon as possible."
Besides the Brubachcr incident,

Student Rally Hinders Proposal
hy Richard Hchnr
The SUNY Board of Trustees kept
the proposal for a tuition inrease off
their agenda Wednesday morning,
as approximately 120 rallying students piled into the small Board meeting room at the SUNY Plaza.
The rally, organized by the combined efforts of the Albany Student
Association (SA), Albany Student
Union (ASU), Student Alliance, and
Student Association of State University {SASU), was instrumental in getting the Board to postpone their decision on the proposed $150.00 tuition
increase until more legislative work
could be done.
Two buses, chartered by SA
brought most of the students from
the SUNYA campus circle to the
meeting.
The students arc hoping to block a
decision until April 1, when the Le-
gislature votes on the governor's
budget. An additional $9.1 million
is needed from that budget to stop a
tuition hike. SASU, along with various other organizations and coalitions, feels that a decision by the
Board before then, would be premature .since there is no way of knowing
until April 1 whether or not SUNY
will received the additional aid,
Steve AlUnger, President of SASl/
and a non-voting member of the
Board of Trustees said the Board had
planned to vole on the issue Wednes
day. He said the large student turnout and some legislative support convinced the trustees to hold back on
their decision, which would have
been in favor of the increase.
SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton told the packed room of chanting
students that the Board would meet
in New York City later this week to
discuss the tuition issued with legislative officials and the Division of
Budget (DOB). When AlUnger made
a proposal to move the meeting to Albany, the motion was rejected by
Board Chairman Donald BUnken
because of transportation inconveniences. BUnken said that most of the
members reside in the New York vicinity. According to AlUnger, tin..- meeting will take place today.
Garth Marchant, a senior at
CUNY's Manhattan Community Col
lege, later told the Board that they
could not run away from rallying students by meeting in New York. He
told the trustees that since CUNY
students could also be affected by a
SUNY tuition increase, city students
would pack that meeting too.

hope for a successful resolution of

SA Court Stops Council Vote
Ruffo Calls It Unconstitutional
hy Mlehelc Isruel
The Student Association Supreme
Court issued an injunction to stop
voting on a $9(),(X)() Dlppikill appropriation Tuesday, citing lack of representation from Alumni Quad.
The appropriation, which would
have provided the funds for a student
center, a log cabin, a washroom facility, and camping areas at the
SUNYA Warren County retreat was
delayed on request by Steve Cox, a
Central Council Candidate from Alumni Quad,
Cox said that the Student Association had been running "slipshod''
elections in the last two weeks, eliminating 900 students from discussion
of the Dippikill issue,
Central Council Chairperson Dave
Ruffo argued with the Court's injunction decision, claiming that the
court is not allowed to interfere with
a legislative decision unless a policy
has been passed or an election needs
to be invalidated. The voting on the
Dippikill funding, Ruffo said, did
not meet these requirements and
therefore could not be halted.
"The Supreme Court judgment
was based on emotion rather than
the Constitution," Ruffo said. "No
Court has he power to overstep a
legislative branch of power."
Ruffo and Supreme Court members reached a compromise on the
injunction at Wednesday's Central
Council meeting, the Council agreeing to voluntarily hold back on the
Dippikill voting in exchange for the
Court's withdrawal on the injunction
order.
Ruffo, in challenging the Court's
original injunction, said that the
Court's action was unconstitutional
in the sense that it attempted to extend the injunction power to voting
on any issue.
Ruffo said that the Court has acted in an inconsistent manner, for
the Council has passed numerous
policies without the full representation and the Court had raised no
objections.
Council Budget Committee Chairperson Sue Gold said that the Dippikill issue is a pressing one.
"The appropriation needs to be
voted on immediately," Gold said.
"Money must be cut from other
groups to make this appropriation.
The sooner the bill is passed, the
more likely it is that, money will be
available."
The Dippikill Governing Board

with the $90,000 budget request for
the next five fiscal years.
Gold said that the Council must
still decide on the form the appropriation will take. The original proposal
suggested a $30,000 initial appropriation with $12,000 per year for the
next five. Gold said that the second
proposal involved laying out $18,000
for the next five fiscal years.
An interim committee has been
formed by the Council to decide on
what form the appropriation will
take.

"Pattie is inexccssible and uncooperative to the dorm residents,"

"She has a condescending attitude

In a letter sent to Kleinman, however, Snyder cited two reasons for his
termination: failure to follow University Alcohol Guidelines and failure to interpret the use of Residence
Facilities Policy accurately to the students.
Kleinman said that he was fired
for three reasons. First, he admitted
that he made an inappropriate comment concerning residency regulations which was overheard by a dorm
director and reported to Snyder.
The second reason he cited for his
dismissal was his failure to follow
University Alcohol Guidelines concerning the promotion of Alcohol.

The counselor said that abortion
counseling is provided free of charge
for all women who have made the
decision to terminate a pregnancy.
This counseling attempts to support
the woman's choice as well as provide
her witli all the necessary information about costs, procedures, doctors, and medical risks, she said.
The counselor said the agency tries
to give a woman several different
referrals, thereby leaving open a
number c{ options that can be suited
to individual needs.
The factor that generally plays the
most decisive role In determining the
choiced of referral Is the stage of the
pregnancy. For example, an "early
abortion" (one which is performed
less than twelve weeks after the last
menstrual period) need not be performed in a hospital, but may be
done in a doctor's office or in aclinic,
for between S1S0 and $300.
An abortion performed after
twelve weeks must by law be performed in a hospital. Even though
such abortions are sometimes done
on an out-patient basis, hey usually
cost $300 or more,
The services offered by Planned
Parenthood are available to persons
of all ages. Although neither the
agency nor New York Stale requires
parental consent before an abortion
can be performed, the counselor said

The National Aeronautics and

calculations indicated that the giant
skylab space station will crash to

about 500 chunks of metal should
survive the fiery plngc and impact of
theeath.
NASA scientists arc estimating
that nearly 30 tons of debris will survive reentry, including parts of a film
ault and an airlock, each weirhing
4000 to 5000 pounds.
The bad news from NASA is that
no one can predict where all this
debris will hit.
Space agency mathematicians
have calculated that the chance of a
piece of skylab striking a city of more
than 100,000 population is about
one in seven.
NASA says that when skylab
begins to break up, sometime
between August and September, it
will reatc a dramatic, visible path of
sparks across the sky more than 4000
miles long and 100 miles wide. The
agency claims there is nothingat this

85-ton space station from crashing

Long Hard Ride
Atrophied Freedom
By Hubert Dicker
When asked what the price of freedom was,
Malcolm X replied "death". For most, if not
for all who live today this is the most telling of
insights, seminal in its import. While national
or cultural freedom, as causes, are usually the
recipients or the beneficiaries of human
sacrifice, precious little of the needed requisite
attention is paid the the "legitimate
aspirations for autonomy of the individual."
In the great battle for freedom, those who
should be enjoying freedom are those least
kely to receive its bounty.
Is not society the servant ot the individuals
who comprise it? The truth of the matter is
that in spite of the lives lost and the great
amount of lip service given ' to personal
freedom, individuals increasingly find
themselves under the aegis of govcrnmenl.
Which, in turn has become the ambassador of
a growing number of interest groups. Most
immediate of all is not so much how or why
this happens, but what course of action should
be taken, if indeed there do exist any real
plausible alternatives.
If the energy crisis and the effort needed to
deal with it can be seen as the "moral
equivalent of war," then it can be said with all
due modesty that the encroachment by
government of personal freedom is no less a
matter of concern. If one is to be proven
worthy of freedom thenfreedom's call must be
heeded with all due candor, vigilance and
AMERICA / 5
IWA RfSIUS
7105 Of
MJn-
To the EdUo"
As a full time student and part time worker l
•am shocked at the way the students at this
school are treated. Particularly, on those
marvels of efficiency, the SUNYA buses. Last
Tuesday morning, one of the most obnoxious
episodes in my three year Albany career took
strength of character. We who live today, are
faced with the growing problem of seeing civil
liberties taking a back seat to the need for
maintaining order. What once was seen as a
part of totalitarianism is now increasingly a
part of all the major nation states.
This crisis will not be overcome by a few
hasty and nervous attempts at suppressing this
newly a rising and troublesome problem. The
way out is to be found only through the
gradual extension and deepening of new
insights. We can never be satisfied with
narrow perspectives but must constantly seek
to become aware. The individual must stop
defying,' romanticizing or idealizing freedom.
For too long the individual has failed to
take account of the new realities applying to
this situation, or worse yet has thought of
these realities in categories which were
inappropriate. Antiquated and inapplicable
norms, modes of thought, and theories can no
longer be allowed to obstruct comprehension
of a constantly changing reality. All the talk of
freedom has blinded us tothedegree, to which
we arc subject to social determinants. If we are
to be free we must confront and examine
ourselves and remove the chains from our
minds as well as our bodies. We must unmask
the unconscious situational motivations in our
thinking.
It must be remembered that psychic
annihilation is more pernicious than its
counterpart physical repression. For, it is an
attempt to gain predominance, by means of
attacking the social status, the public prestige
and the self-confidence of an individual,
through the refutation of the theoretical
rclivance of the opponent's arguments.
It is always necessary for the individual to
make his judgments from a point of view of his
own interests. This will pot occur as long as
society is stabilized on the basis of authority
and social prestige is accorded only by the
standards of the upper class. Therefore, it
must be said that the cost of freedom requires
the present societal configuration to disappear
and be replaced by one which lends itself tothe
freedom of its members.
If freedom is to occur then the mind sets of
the individuals living in society must not only
change but they, the mind sets, must also
become the property of their owners and not
of society.

place.
Twenty other commuters and 1 .caught the
9:05 Wellington Express from the circle to go
downtown. We were all late by at least five
minutes already and very anxious to be
wherever, by 9:30. This of course, had no
effect on our bus driver's nutritional needs. He
casually stopped, for nearly ten minutes, to get
his coffee and bacon and egg on a roll at the
Manhattan Diner. Alright, he is entitled to
breakfast — but hang on, the best is yet to
come.
The bus then proceeded to the Draper stop
'where it pulled to the curb and opened its
doors. Then as if he were at the family picnic,
the driver carefully opened his sandwich from
the wrapping paper. Sipping his coffee sinfully
slowly, he ignored the various queries of the
confused commuters as to why we were there.
"It's my coffee break," he snapped, semiliteratcly. "Hut, we're late for work," someone
pleaded. He didn't respond.
Walking to the front of the bus, I asked for
the driver's name. His retort was, "Show me
ya' I.D." After complying, I finally got his
name, Tom Reckner. Upon arriving
downtown at 9:50, I called the motor pool to
complain. But, all they could offer me was
their kind compassion.
Besides getting this off my chest, it is my
hope that in writing to you, maybe the bus
people will start listening to student
complaints. The system itself is fine, probably
the best of any other school, but a reasonable
measure of concern for working students is in
order.

How You Play
The Game
To the Cditor:
It is at this time that 1 would like to
commend the Albany State Pep Band for the
fine job they do at our University sports
events. They work hard to generate a
tremendous level of enthusiasm, school spirit
and good sportsmanship. Their performances
during hairtime shows both at the football
games and the basketball games are very
professional.
This was proven Thursday night (February
MUORtTies
^r^W^Z
22) at the Albany vs. Binghamton basketball
game when their recent addition to the hall
time activities included free throws (costing
$1^ from half court to win $25. Their
professionality spoke for itself when one
contestant, abiding by the rules of the game,
threw the ball standing from behind the
designated line and sunk the ball. Three
officials ruled the basket good and said that
the prize should be awarded. However, the
announcer decided he was the official and
ruled the shot no good. Little did he realize
that due to the law of inertia (a body oncescl
in motion remains in motion) it was only
natural for the contestant to fall forward of the
line after the ball was thrown.
Good sportsmanship is realizing all factors
in a game. The Albany State Pep Band did not
display such a knowledge of fair play when the
$25 prize was not awarded. I hope in the future
that good sportsmanship in the spirit of
fair play will be included in the Pep Hand
organization.

Last semester saw SUNY's investments in
American corportations trading in the
apartheid state of South Africa become ii
campus issue at Albany. By now, due tothe
visible protest and criticism of students aimed
against this institutional link to one of (he
most reactionary social systems on earth,
divestment of the stock is a SUN Y-wide issue.
This is even more true now that both Albany
President O' Leary and Chancellor Wharton
have felt obliged to speak their minds on the
question. Now the problem is posed: Wliatarc
we to do about it?
Students and others who criticize llif
investments have spoken out Iron) Ikt
beginning in favor of divestment. The
university's spokespcople have been slower lo
make themselves clear. But through the
statements of O' Leary and Wharton an
"official" position is becoming visible:
SUNY's stock should stay in South Africa. Wc
must not forget that the Chancellor has added:.
lor the good of the oppressed Blacks. This is,
of course, the position of U.N. Ambassador
Andrew Young: that U.S. corporations area
"progressive force" in racist Smith Africa.
Already we arc hearing talk of the liustces
adopting the famous Sullivan Principles.
What are the Sullivan Principles'.' I liey arc
a sort of ethical code devised for American
enterprises in the apartheid state by leon

Chip, you might ask, is $3.80sucha big

yes — especially when the third layer is
comprised solely of lettuce and tomatoes.

^ B ^ * M ^ R a t . This week we lake
somewhat of a step up, and
check out two of Albany's noteworthy
delis, Piatt's Place and Joe's Caterers.
Piatt's Place is located at 44 Wolf
Road, next to the Chalet Inn. Upon first
glance it looks like a cafeteria; this isn't
too surprising, because it is a cafeteria.
There is a stack of trays, and a metal
railing to slide them along. And there is a
lady behind the counter who asks,
"Whattya want?" —just like home (here).

denin. jackets, a fat man exposing an
appendix scar that looked like a road
map, some nut wearing glasses that said
(the glasses, not the nut) Woogie, and
many other inspiring shots. We sat near
the fat guy staring at us, which was about
as appetizing as the runny mayonnaise.
Bon appetite.
Our next stop was Joe's Caterers, at
851 Madison Avenue. Outside, in a
display window, there is an article about
Joe from the Albany Times Union (Joe's
has also been mentioned by the New York
Times as a place for legislators and
knowing Albanians to eat) about Joe's
life. First off, his last name is Kulik.
Second, he was born in Albany in 1907.
Third, and to me, most important, his
wife and daughters were brought up with
"dill pickles, frog's legs, and chopped liver
in their blood." Right.
Joe's clientele is not exactly what you'd
call collegiate. Most of the business
comes from people like "Cy, Roz, Sam,
Morty," and their friends. They like lo
talk about Florida and condominiums,
their "sons the doctors," and every other
stereotyped cliche one could think of.
Upon entering, 1 expected to be seated
by the kitchen. I was. I was given my
menu, which is important — Joe's is a
restaurant. It is complete with waitresses,
and checks — this also means you might
want to tip, but that's up to you,

mankind, then I wholeheartedly
recommend Joe's — live it up while you
have time. If, however, we are goingto be
around a while, don't go to Joe's until the
next time your parents come up — the
prices are unbelievably high for college
budgets. Unlike Piatt's Place, though, it's
worth it.
The prices on triple deckers range from
$2.75 for a Page Hall Special (Chicken
Salad, Lettuce, Mayonnaise, and
Tomato) to $5.50 for Shrimp Salad, Eggs,
Tomato, Lettuce, and Russian Dressing.
Sandwich prices span from $1.25 for
peanut butter and jelly to(get this)$)0.00
for caviar, egg, and onion. I ordered Joe's
Deli-Medley, which consisted of Spiced
Beef, Corn Beef, and Salami, with lettuce,
tomato and Russian Dressing. Again I
skipped the Russian Dressing and tomato
(I had mayonnaise). The price for this
little extravaganza was $4.15.
Boy, was it worth it. With the exception
of the watery mayo (again home-made),
this was the tastiest, largest, most filling
sandwich I have ever had in my life. It's
more than a meal — it's the master pigout
of them all. The triple decker is cut into
four sections; I was full after two.
However, in the truest of journalistic
integrity, I forced the other half down. I
couldn't move the rest of the night.
Joe's is a place for those with hearty
appetites and wallets. If you really want
to try it, bring a date and split a triple
decker — you shouldn't be disappointed.
And say hello to Joe — he's a nice guy.

Kastle's students will perform at the PHC on May 9
" W e a r e the Sultans of S w i n g , " Dire
Straits claims in the song of the same
name, which is quickly becoming their
calling card. They'll receive no arguments from the over-capacity crowd that attended their first area appearance Wednesday night at the Hullabaloo. The
highly anticipated performance, by the
latest British band to receive FM acclaim, left no one disappointed.
Dire Straits was preceded by a warmup band whose name seemed to escape
Jack Kutner
everyone in the audience. After repeated
attempts to find out who it was that was
boring my senses, and receiving a different answer every time, I finally settled
on The Baruga Bandits, (but don't treat
'.that as gospel).
• After a pleasurably shorl intermission, Dire Straits took the stage.
Without comment, they opened with
" D o w n to the Waterline," one of the
stronger cuts from their first (and only)
album. The choice was a wise one. The
song is last-moving and got the se. off to
a proper start. Then they immediately
went to a slow ballad, "Six Blade
Knife," also from the album. The fact
that they were able to hold the crowd
with (his 'non-rocker' so early in Ihe set
is testimony lo Ihe quality of their performance. .
Now exercising their talents further,
lliey then played three songs which are
not yet recorded.
Although th'c crowd could never have
heard these songs before, they listened
attentively nonetheless. The best of the
new songs was entitled "Once Upon a
Time In The W e s t " . This proved to be
the pattern for the whole night: a
carefully chosen assortment of songs
from their increasingly popular album,
W€
with new cuts mixed in.
The songs were played without a lot of
stage theatrics, but with suitable enthusiasm. The stage versions were very
true t o the recorded arrangements, with
short, tight jams usually added at the
end. The songs 'came to life', as one
would hope for in concert. The tight
rhythm section of Pick Withers on
drums, John Illsledy on bass, and David
Knopler on guilar played simply, but
with excellent clarity. They did their j o b
well, and that j o b became more obvious
as the set progressed: to provide an
unobtrusive backdrop for the 'star' of
the band, Mark Knopler. Mark writes all
the songs the band performs, does all the
singing, and handles the lead guitar
The set climaxed with the band's
biggest hit (unfortunately also a shortened single "Sultans of Swing". Obviously the crowd favorite, and the
most warmly received song of the night,
" S u l t a n s " flowed from start to finish.
The song can be interpreted as
autobiographical with lyrics lhat emphasize Dire Straits no-frills approach to
their music/ "They don't give a damn
about no trumpet playing b a n d / I t ain'l
whal (hey call rock and r o l l . "
When asked if he sees any artists
making movies today, Kastle cites
Bergman, Fellini and Truffeau. As for
American artists, he is stumped.
"But then again, if you asked me about
American composers," he adds wryly, 1
can't say many of them are t o o great
e i t h e r . " W h e n Kastle s p e a k s of
composers, he means composers of "real
music". He doesn't want t o talk about
"that electronic stuff. As far as Kastle is
concerned, rock doesn't even resemble
music. "When rock people are referred t o

ng, comfort, and work facilities; equal and,
employment practices; equal pay for
nparable work; training programs for
onwhitcs and whites: an increase in Black
anagcrinl positions; efforts to improve the
ality of life outside the workplace."
)vcr 100 American corporations have
dorsed the Sullivan principles. But what can
i mean? The desegregation of lunchrooms
bathrooms does not guarantee equality
r Blacks. The experience of our own country
otild be enough to prove this. "Equal and
r employment practices" in turn, is nothing
t an abstract formula. When one considers
t South African law prohibits the hiring of
cks and whites for the same positions, not
r this but also "equal play, etc." and the
pining programs" are useless principles
. As for "more Blacks in managerial
litions" this is exactly what Afrohericans have correctly denounced as
Icnism since 1965. Does the presence of
Ting in the U.N., Sullivan in GM's
HRrdroom or Wharton in the D&H building
mean that A'mcrica has been cu":d of
•tlcism'.' Hut we are risked to believe that a
Black manager in South Africa is a heroic
blow against apartheid.
jgKlt may be argued that the Sullivan
Principles arc "not perfect" but still amount to
ah advance over the most extreme forms of
apartheid, litis point could be granted but the
advance could only be registered as real if the
- famous 'Principles' were being followed.*This
is not the case.

•ft^'As we have already explained, putting the
principles of "equal and fair cmploment
practices, etc" into practice is a violation of
South African law. Yet American
corporations in South Africa abide by the law
— while "up-holding" the Sullivan Principles.
Two years alter the original declaration of the
principles one hundred U.S. firms operating in
South Africa have accepted them on paper.
However, the white-to-Black wage ratio in
that country is still eight to one on the average.
•Even so, Ford Motor Company — for whom
our Chancellor warms a boardroom seat —
stays in that country.
In fact, the Sullivan Principles amount to
nothing more' than a few cosmetic reforms to
prettify the ugly face of apartheid. Their
adoption by SUNVs trustees as an investment
guide would signify a retreat in the face of
public opinion by the Board — welcome in
that sense, it is true — but nothing more.
Andrew Young's theory that US dollars
act as a "Progressive force" while proping
up apartheid is nothing but the defense of
a government that talks "human rights'
— but practices "ethnic purity." Its
endorsement by Dr. Wharton does not
make it any more believable.

To the Editor:
We. as residents of Steinmetz dorm, would
like to express our disappointment concerning
the suspension of our R.A. Steve Kleinman
On Sunduy morning, February 25, Steve
was called into the State Quad Coordinator's
office andfiredon the spot, thereby giving him
48 hours to leave his room. Although a Quad
Coordinator does have the power to make this
decision, no other staff member was even
consulted about the matter.
We feel the reasons given for Steve being
fired were insufficient, and therefore think this
-decision may have been too rash. There were
no specific facts to support the incident.
"An accumulation of events" was the best
explanation received by both Steve and the
dorm members of Steinmetz.
We feel Steve was a fine RA and know our
feelings arc shared by many people in
Steinmetz. We do not think it is fair to take
from us, a friend as well as a competent RA.

By Edward Lennox
g^Thc last time you were present at a posh
'social gathering, such as a dorm party, during
which time your stomach found reason to
evict its daily supply of victuals onto the
Carpel, were you able to forget your
embarrassment long enough to ask yourself
the question, "Why is this happening to me?"
jjjbw about your most recent encounter with
an officer of the law, or the last time you barely
sscaped a supposedly "easy" exam with your
Me? Do y°u ever wonder why certain things
Hep happening to you that should not keep
g^jf&ppening to you? Of course you do. Man,
like the chimpanzee, is an inherently curious
creature. But did you ever find an answer,
fljJEort of a trial membership in the Unification
JBiurch?
• Well, earlier this year I lost something very
HBfccious and dear to my heart, and, like an
.-} inquisitive little chimpanzee, 1 asked myself
Mttnd disinterested others), "Why?" After
£ ; Weeks of involuntary lasting and chronic
^Hocrastination 1 came to the conclusion that
H D the best interests of my emotional and
^Htysical health, 1 should most definitely seek
pffii answer to that universal question. So I
B n r e h e d day and night for the key, and, lo and
""'behold! one afternoon whilst warming the
throne, the answer came tumbling out of
^Bowhcre. — Missed me by a centimeter,
dually, I searched a bit too hard, for 1
ccidcntally came up with two answers. But
at's okay, because each may be used
dcpendcntly of the other, depending upon
ne's mood. If you are genuinely interested, or
imply too lazy to search for yourself, the
ollowing arc my two theories regarding an
nswer to that most prevailing question of all
why?
THEORY A: Sometime near the
ginning, a wandering puppeteer discovered
ur small planet and thought it might be fun to
set up a show. He started out with a rather
conservative production in Israel, saw that it
was good, and slowly expanded his talents to
other parts of the world. By the twentieth
century he owned millions of helpless little
marionettes, which existed only by his power
and guidance. Some call him God. I call him
Maize. We all belong to Maize; we arc his
puppets. The next time you find, with great
dismay, that you have become impotent, don't
worry about it. Take it for granted that Maize
simply forgot to pull a certain string, and hope
he docs not make a habit of k. If your boy or
girlfriend leaves you, it is because Maize
requires their services elsewhere. When loved
ones die, it is because Maize has pulled a bit
too hard on their strings. Maize rules all. We
can only hang in there and hope for the best.
TH FOR Y B: The people of the world exist
almost entirely by chance. Freedom of choice
and destiny is limited. Your potential for
happiness today depends upon what you ate
and who you spoke to yesterday, plus a
thousand and two other ever-changing
variables. You have little or no say in this
process, only varying degrees of luck.
Therefore, it is simply a lapse in your luck
which causes you to topple down a flight of
stairs and break your pelvis and right hand.
Chance gives you an A on a test, not a
tremendous amount of time spent*studying.
Likewise, when your mate loses interest in
you, it is because Chance has shown him or her
someone or something more desirable. Do not
ask why. There is no answer. For Chance and
thus happiness, are elusive and indefinable.
So, the next time something awful, or even
pleasurable, descends upon you, do not ask
why. It is of no use. We have little or no
control over our destinies, depending upon
which theory you subscribe to. If you believe
in neither, fine. It's okay with me, Don't ask
me why.
A Representative Council?
If Central Council is as important a body as some of its members choose to believe,
then one would think that more an effort would bet made to insure "fair, honest and
efficiently run elections. Recently though, the election for Central Council representatives held on Alumni Quad has been plagued by a series of problems that can only be
attributed to careless decision making on the part of the Elections Commissioner, who
disregarded certain regulations by omitting a polling place. She has since disregarded
regulations in new elections which were held to supposedly set right old ones.
The Elections Commissioner is in charge of the ballotting that theoretically will fairly
elect your SA President and Vice President.vour Student University Senators, and your
Central Council members. In turn, these men and women do have the power to
represent you, and decide where your student tax money goes, Therefore, it is utterly
imperative that all of these people are elected fairly, and that all those eligible to vote
are given the chance to do so. This was not done on Alumni Quad, and the more than
nine hundred students there are not getting the representation that they are entitled to
on Central Council.
Without those students being represented, it would be terribly unfair to them if
Central Council voted on anything until proper representation is restored. Although
that may seem obvious to you and me, it wasn't quite that way with some representatives, who were slow to acknowledge the fact that anything at all accomplished during
the absensc of these representatives would be an injustice to those nine hundred.
Yet, Central Council Chairman Dave Ruffo had no qualms about bringing up a
$100,000 plus Dippikill bill with two vacant seats. It took the objections of an Alumni
candidate to show Council that deciding this issue without giving Alumni residents the
say they have a right lo is totally unethical.
The backbone of democratic student representation is to have all students represented and elected fairly. With this in mind, much greater emphasis should be placed on
the insurance of fairness during the election. The Elections Commissioner must follow
the regulations, polling places must never be omitted and meticulous honesty must
always be guaranteed. If this is not done, then all that follows, including who gets in,
what gets passed, and what fails to pass, is nothing more than a farce; a shambles.
Arbitrary and capricious deviations from regulations in the name of expediency is as
dangerous as it is obviously wrong. Anything less than total dedication to the guidelines
that the Council themselves set down to insure fair elections is a crime whose
implications go. far beyond the Alumni Quad incident.
It's our Central Council and if some members seem to forget that every now and then,
then we must never forget it. Or else, it may become their Central Council, and that is
not democracy.
Quote Of The Day:
"No Court has the power to overstep a legislative
branch of power."
-Dave Ruffo, Chairman of Central Council,
commenting on the SA Supreme Court's injunction

clip. Curtis played on a summer
team with Louisville's slam dunk ar' list Darrell Griffith and was
reportedly recruited by several Division 1 schools, but chose Centre at the
urging of his school principle and
teachers, according to Colonel assistant coach Rick Wagner.
,
Centre doesn't run the ball much
and they can play zone or man-toman on defense, adapting well to the
situation. Neal Sterba, a forward, is
.probably the number-two threat
offensively. Matt Vonderbrink, at
5'K" the shortest starter in the
regional, handles the point guard
chores for Centre, but Scott Gregg,
the other guard, leads the squad in
assists.
Joe Sandy completes the front line
and is the only four year starter. He
is the emotional and inspirational
leader for the Colonels in addition to
chipping in neatly with 14.0 ppg. The
lineup does not present overbearing
height and Wagner admitted that
Centre docs get outrebounded often,
but they make up for it in discipline
and poise.
While Centre displays a squad
within the same essential sphere of
the Danes, the other two entrants in
the regional have a totally different
outlook. Before Albany climbs back
aboard a plane for a ride home Sunday morning, the results should
reveal how a New York school
matches up with the squads in Dixie.

Elections Questioned
continued Irom page one
name was left out of an ASP ad
announcing that vote, and another
candidate, Tony Leinkowitz, found
his name left off of the ballot itself.
It is not known at this time if the
latest election will be contested because of the missing ad.
Commenting on the Brubacher incident, former Elections Commissioner Douglas Freedman said that
."Ideologically, one would like to
make every effort to make it as convenient as possible to vote. Pragmatically speaking, however, it is rather
impractical when you take into account the perpetual minisculc turnout in Brubacher. During last year's
springelections, in which"three thousand votes were cast, less than thirty
ballots were turned in by Brubacher.
Besides, it's a short walk to the other
polling places in Alden, and Waterbury Halls."
Auerbach Says Larry Bird
Is As Good As Bob Corny
Bird, picked by Auerbach as the
Celtics' No. I draft choice last June
although he was only a junior,
scored 49 points and grabbed 19
rebounds as Indiana State completed a perfect regular season with a
109-84 victory over Wichita State.
"When he gets anywhere near the
ball, it belongs to him," Auerbach
said. "Everyone in the country
knows he can shoot. Other things
impress me more.
"He has a great concept of the
game, a great feel of what's going on
between the four lines. He's got
patience, he's strong and he's unselfish.
"I've seen him play and talked to
him just once. However, I'm going
out to see him in the playoffs. Then,
after the season, he'll get an agent
and we'll sit down and talk.
BOSTON (AP) — Indiana State AllAmerica Larry Bird brings back
memories to Red Auerbach, the
architect of 13 National Basketball
Association titles with the Boston
Celtics.
"He's a bigCousy," Auerbach said
Monday, comparing the 6-foot-9
Freedman characterized the elim- Bird with former Celtics' great Bob

for all elections."
"1 never thought I'd ever compare
anyone with Cousy, but Larry Bird
has those great hands and great vision," Auerbach said.
Like most national television
viewers, Auerbach, the former
Celtics' coach now the club's president and general manager, was
somewhat in awe watching Bird play

Danes Overpower Utica, 70-65
by Paul Schwartz
Despite all the excitement about
going to Kentucky for the NCAA
playoffs, the Albany State basketball slill had one more regular season
game to play before their trip on
Thursday. It was against Utica
College, and with really nothing at
itakc, the Danes dominated the
Pioneers off the hoards and went on
to beat Utica, 70-65.
In improving their record to 19-6,
the Dunes used a rebounding
barrage to their udvanlugc in Utica.
Albany outrcbounded the Pioneers
1
47-20, and Dane center Barry
Cavanaugh almost singlchandcdly
surpassed the Pioneer total.
Cavanaugh hauled down a careerhigh 19 rebounds and shared scoring
honors with Carmelo Verdejo with
19 points. Pete Slanish added eight
rebounds for Albany.
However, in gaining the victory,
the Danes may have lost the services
of one or possibly two of their key
players for the playoffs. With under
three minutes remaining in the game,
Rob Clune came down wrong on his
ankle and 'suffered a sprain.
Moments later, Bill Bellamy pulled
his Achilles tendon and had to leave
the game. Bellamy is listed as
probable and Clune is questionable
for Albuny's gumes this weekend in
Kentucky.
The Danes got off to an 8-0 lead
against Utica and never trailed.
Alter building a 34-27 advantage,
Albany saw their lead dwindle to
three points on three occasions late
in the game. A layup by Verdejo and
two foul shots apiece by Stanish and
Buddy Wleklinski scaled the game
for Ihc Dunes.

Rarely are committees praised for anything. Common arguments arc that
they take too long to make decisions, and the members really don't care one
way or another anyhow. But this past week, the fate of the Albany State
basketball team was in the hands of a group of men on the NCAA selection
committee, and their performance is worthy of acclaim.
This pat on the back is not simply because thecommittee picked the Danes
for the playoffs. There was no doubt that Albany deserved a bid, but looking
from an objective viewpoint, other schools, most noticeably Pratt, also had
strong claims for post season action. Basically, what it came down to was an
abundance of quality teams in the east, virtually assuring more than one disgruntled school.
Actually, the eastern committee was no help to the Danes at all. After a
long debate, they decided on Pratt for the remaining spot to the Eastern
Regional. It was the national committee, with persuasion by unofficial
eastern chairman Lew Alexander, that found a place for Albany.
This is where the NCAA should be commended. They showed that they'
were flexible, and that they actually had the best interests of the tournamentat heart. Seeing that the east was crowded, the national committee looked1
elsewhere, and finally found a spot open in the Southern Regional in Kentucky.
Where they could have went with a conservative move, instead the committee took a gamble. By placing Albany in the Southern Regional ahead of a
southern team, the NCAA must have incurred the anger of a number of
schools in the south. But the committee wanted the best teams possible, even
if il meant sending Albany, N.Y. to Danville, Ky.

Pratt Kicked Out Of Regional
by David Ostium
Fine print
in legal
documents can often
reverse
a
decision when it's discovered and a
special clause cited by the NCAA
basketball committee Tuesday morning changed ihe plans of two
eastern Division III teams and gave
the Eastern Regional in Stony Brook
the exact same pairings aslastycur.
Pratt Institule, which had
originally been selected to fill the
fourth spot in the bracket, was
replaced by Manhatlanville College
after the NCAA discovered an article stipulating that a conference
lucking mi a ui uiiiai i>' bid to the tournament can't have two teams
entered. Pratt and Stony Brook are
in the Knickerbocker Conference.
r
A conference like the SUNYAC
with an automatic berth guaranteed
to its champion is permitted to huve
two entries but Pratt lost out since
the Knickerbocker has no such
privclcilgejthcy're a new league with
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
too few members presently. The
lateness of the discovery forestalled
the possibility of tuking Albuny
state out of the Southern Regional,
bringing them to the cust, und sending Manhnttunvillc southward.
"We're just thrilled to be in the
i inn iiu mi- ui and our kids were elated
when we told them Tuesday night
because we were already planning to
go to the ECACs," said Tim
Cohane, Mnnhuttunville's couch.
"But I'd rather go soullr, the cast is
traditionally one of the nation's
toughest rcgionals and the competition down there may be a bit easier."
First round matchups in the
regional lit Stony Brook will puir St.
Lawrence with Manhatlanville und
SUNYAC entry Potsdam with the
hosts. Those matchups read the
same as they did one yueur ago when
St. Lawrence beat ManhuUanville
65-62, Stony Brook topped Potsdam
und Stony Brook edged St.
Lawrence in the finals and eventual-
ly reached the final four. Cohane admitted the prccuriousness of traveling to meet teams of unknown quality. But, he said, at least it bcuts going
to Stony Brook to play with three
acknowledged powers.'
An curlier rumor suying Pratt was
disqualified because they used an Inclligible player when they beat Stony
Brook last Saturday night was dispelled. "That was j list an idle rumor
und 1 even spoke with the Stony
Brook Athletic Director and he
agreed," suid E. Wayne Sunderland,
Pratt's Athletic Director and a
member of t he eastern advisory committee.
Sundcrlnnd explained that the
move hud been a clear oversight.
The national committee obviously
tubbed Stony Brook due to their outslunding rcgulur season record
despite the fact that Pratt actually
won the conference by beating the
Pioneers. Pittsburgh was passed
over in favor of Manhatlanville

Danes Begin Title Chase Tonight
Face Savannah St. In Opening Round)
dune Doubtful After Sprmning Ankle
by David Oiborn
A plane carrying the Albany State
basketball team to Kentucky landed
in Lexington yesterday at 5:49 p.m.
after a stopover in Pittsburgh and
the most unwelcome cargo aboard
was the swollen left ankle of Rob
Clune.
The Dane guard came down hard
on his left side after leaping to throw
a pass in the closing moments of
Albany's victory over Utica Tuesday night and is listed as
questionable for tonight's Southern
Regional NCAA Division III
semifinal. The Danes face Savannah
State of Georgia possibly without one
of their top guards; the prcgamc
show can be heard on WCDB 91
FM, beginning at 8:40 p.m.: the
finals are scheduled for 9 p.m. Saturday.
"He came down wrong and hard
on his ankle," Albany trainer Jack
Koelmel said about Clune. "We'll
keep it in ice for 48 hours and then
we'll see if there's fever in there or
not. If that hasn't cleared up by that
point we'll probably try some heat
treatment and reconditioning
exercises. I'd say he's questionable."
Clune's injury may throw a kink
into Albany coach Dick Sauers'
plans to counter the freewheeling
Savannah Tigers with a full-court
/.one .press. Clune, a soph, is a
tenacious defensive player and his
role in the proposed defensive
strategy would have been pivotal.

Flashback: The Long Road To The NCAA Ptagoffe
by Paul Schwartz
When the Albany State basketball team began the season over three
months ago, there was a feeling of confidence that overshadowed the
usual early season jitters. Possessing the talent and experience that is
essential for a successful campaign, the Danes set the NCAA playoffs
as a primary goal.
That goal has been reached, as Albany was selected to the Southern
Regional in Kentucky. 'I he Danes finished the year with a fine 19-6
mark, but it was a season that contained highs and lows:
Nov, 29: 'The Danes open the season with an unimpressive victory over
Southern Connecticut. Carmelo Verdcjo, showing signs of things to
come, pumps in 20 points.
Dec. 29: Getting revenge from a one point loss the year before, Albany
pulverizes Gencseo8l-56. In his finest all-around performance to date,
Barry Cavanaugh scores 19 points and pulls down 14 rebounds.
Dec. 13: Going against Division II power llartwick, Albany never gets
untracked, and loses their first game of the season, 61-49. The
Warriors' 1-3-1 zone shuts down the Dane inside attack with little
difficulty.
Jan. 6,7: After seven years, the Dunes finally win the Capital District
Tournament, defeating Union and after trailing Springfield by nine
points at halltime, go on in the opening round to pass the Chiefs and
gain bragging rights in the Capital District. Verdcjo is selected as the
tourney MVP.
Jan. 11,13: The action shifts to the Sunshine State. With an 80-63 win
over St. Leo, Albany scores their first victory ever in Florida. The
clouds come in the second game, though, as Albany loses u five point
halftime leud and ends up a 79-70 loser.
Jan. 16: The rematch with Hamilton. Albany is on their way to

Jan. 23: Hitting only seven of 20 free throws, Albany falls to SUN YAC
rival Oneontn 72-71. "They're in the drivers seat," says Dane coach
Dick Sauers about Oneonta. For Albany, the SUNYAC situation
appears glum.
Jan. 27: Cavanaugh explodes, scoring 34 points on 16 of 19 from the
floor, as Albany overwhelms C.W. Post 98-77. A spirited crowd at

most impressive triumph of ihe season, shock nationally ranked Jersey

SUNYAC situation appears bright.
Feb, 20: leading by six points with 73 seconds remaining, Albany
gives I'lattshiirgh a chance to pull even, and the Danes finally lose 6058 in overtime. Albany now cannot receive an automatic bid to the
NCAA playoffs. The SUNYAC situation is bleak.
Feb. 22, 24: The Danes play just well enough to beat Kinghamton and
Oswego. All Albany can do is wait to hear about the playoffs.
Feb, 25: I ate Sunday afternoon the NCAA committee states that
Albany was not selected for the Eastern Regional. Instead, Albany will
compete in the Southern Regional in Danville, Kentucky.
II the Board ol Trustees decides to raise tuition at their meeting
this month, Ireshmen and sophomores will pay an additional $150
per year.
The decision would hike tuition lor the 74,000 Ireshmen and
sophomores in the SUNY system to $900, the same amount upperclassmen are now paying. Professional school tuilions would also
rise, and community colleges would be authorized lo increase their
rates.
SUNY graduate programs in dentistry, medicine, and optometry
would go up an additional $300, to $3,300. The school ol law would
increase $200, to $2,200.
According to SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton, the tuition increase would affect only those families with incomes over $25,000
annually. He said that most students would not even leel the tuition
increase with the Increase In state tuition aid. Yet according to the
Higher Education Services Corporation, students with families earning between $11,000 and $20,000 will not receive any Increse
from the Tuition Assistance Program (T.A.P.) to cover the tuition
hike.
According to the National Commission on Poslsecondary
Education, there is a 2.5 percent decline in enrollment lor every
$100 tuition increase. In the Slate University alone, the proposed
tuition hike could lead lo an enrollment decline ol over 5,000
students. This could in turn lead to layolls and a reduction ol faculty
