Friday, September 14, 1979 Two Or Three Day Delay Danes Look To Break Losing Trend In Opener Vol. LXV1 No. 31 Strong Running, Weak Passing Hobart Squad To Challenge Albany Tomorrow by Paul Schwartz Opening games and the Danes have not been the kindest of friends. For the past three seasons, the Albany State football team has gained nothing but frustration in losing their first game each time. So when the Danes travel to, Geneva, to face Hobart tomorrow, they will have one goal—to finally start off the season right. "For us, this is kind of a crucial game," said Albany Stale head football coach Bob Ford. "We Ihink we have the makings of a pretty decent football team, and after losing our first game the past few ycurs, we then made a run at the playoffs this year, the opening game is critical. It starts you off up in the ratings, and it sort of sets the tempo for the rest of the season." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^m-—^^^mi^^^-^ The Albany Stale football squad at practice before their opening game at Hobart tomorrow afternoon. (Photo: Bob Leonard) The Dane's first game losses in recent years came against powerful teams, an excuse that will not hold up tomorrow. Actually, Hobart is more of a mystery than anything else. The Albany coaches have not scouted them, and basing an opinion on last season's Statesman squad would be fruitless. Hobart struggled through a 2-6 campaign, completely decimated by injuries. In all, the Statesman lost nine players with broken bones, and do not have m i i n y returnees back from lust year's debacle. An area where Hobart docs have quality and experience is at fullback. Senior Ed Cooncy (6-1,215) has amassed over 2000 yards in his career, and is unquestionably the Statesman's strongest offensive weapon. "He's a great one," commented Albany defensive coordinator Jack Sicdlicki. "He's definitely one of the best backs we'll face this season. Even when they haven't had good teams. Cooncy has run well," A lew ycurs ago, Hobart set an NCAA record fewest passes thrown in a season—12. A potent ground uttack has been a Statesman tradition, and this year's squad is no exception. Their gnmcplan calls for Cooney to carry the ball over 20 limes an outing, and if he is not rushing, someone else will be. Passing is simply not u major factor in the Hobart offense. Junior Pal Tumucri (5-11, 180) directs the Statesman's powcr-I triple option attack, and as quarterback, prefers running to throwing. "He is a good runner, but, just an average passer," Sicdlicki said. "They don't throw very much, and when they do, it's mostly sprint passes. "We know they are going to try and establish the run. "But if we September 18, 1979 SVNY Fined $5000 h Sex Discrimination Case slam their running game, they've got to throw. That's what we want. They're the kind of team we want to play early in the Season. They use the option, and that's what our defense faces every day in practice. In fact, that's probably the best thing we do—defense the triple option." Little is known about the Hobart defensive team, except that only three players arc back from a year ago. One of them, noscguard Brian Whayleh (6-1,215) is a quality performer. The statesman set up in a 4-4 defense, the same type the Danes use, and Whnylcn is the key. "He is their best defensive player," said Mike Motia, Albany's offensive coordinator. "We saw him on Rims, and he just destroyed people." Legal Proceedings Continue but overall depth will be tested. Conditioning will be a factor over a schedule such as this, but Skeel is not concerned or worried about the physical fitness of his team. "Ask the players," Skccl said. "When we take the field, there will be no opponent in better shape than us." The old line that baseball players arc the worst conditioned athletes evidently docs not apply at Albany State this season. Skcel maintains that losses due to graduation is not a factor in this Fall's Danes. He's attempting to educate the team, and he feels that they have more baseball knowledge than before. They've been extremely responsive, according to Skcel, and the coach is very satisfied with their progress, and also the squad's willingness to work hard in practice. If there is to be a leader on this team, it is probably catcher Willie Gurra. "What Willie lacks in finesse," says Skeel, " he makes up • for in hustle." Tabbed by the coach as a "Pete Rose type player," Gurra has emerged as a gradc-A competitor never giving up, eager to learn, and eager to improve himself as a ballplayer. When the team is down, look for Gurra to lead the charge out. Other returning veterans are tackle Kyle Palmer and end Frank Vcith. After that, the rest are n e w c o m e r s . H o w e v e r , the Statesman defense did put together fine p e r f o r m a n c e s in two scrimmages, losing to powerhouse Ithaca 14-0 and tying Canisus 14-14. For the Danes, three positions that were up in the air now have been filled. At fullback. John Durant has won u sturling spot, Mike Arcuri will handle the job at center, and the kick-off and field goal chores belong to Dario Arungo. A key facet of any baseball team is how they stack up defensively in the middle: the catcher, shortstop, second baseman, and ccntcrfield positions. Skeel feels that the Danes are stronger here than in the past. Although Gurra seems the frontrunner for the catching pos(, he is getting strong competition from hard hitting Rich Cardillo. Nojob is nailed down as of yet. Before tomorrow's home opener against Utica, here is the rundown. At short, sophomore Bruce Rowlands is the leading candidate, but speedy freshman Francis Riviera is hot on his heels. At second will be senior Mitch Chusid, followed by Dave Silverman. Center has Mark McDonald, a newcomer from the football team, and freshman Carl Wilson. Skcel is very confident about his depth and defense in these four spots, as well as with the rest of the diamond. • First base will be tended by Boh Rhodes and Gary McCarthy; and the hot corner(third base) will be commanded by two juniors, Bob Arcario and Andy Dym. In right is Mike Turner and Matt Antalckjarid in left, rounding out the defense, will be Eliot Dikoik und Tony Moschella, who has been bothered by u nagging shoulder injury. On the whole, Skeel feels confident, except for his pitching. Led by ace rigluy Mike Clabcaux, Ihe stuff is only adequate, and lacks depth. There is a toss-up for the number-two spot between Gary LaConture and Mike Esposito. A bright spot for the future is Pete Dclmonice who, after arm trouble, is being brought on slowly. He will he an asset when at full strength. Pitching has been said to be 85 percent of a ballclub, but Skeel says, with this squad, it's only 65 percent. The Albany State baseball squad opens their aeaaon tomorrow with continued on pjge 21 , a doubleheader against Utlca College.

The subsequently-retrenched department was chaired by Joseph Szoverffy, who is named individually as defendant in at least one of the Leibowitz cases. This suit, Leibowitz v. Szoverffy, was filed in New York State Suprome Court and later dismissed. Supreme Court Justice John Pennock based his decision on plaintiff's failure to state a cause of action and the lack of "tryablc issues of fact." The case will be appealed by Leibowitz within the next two weeks, according to Leibowitz spokesman and former SUNYA Political Science Professor Clifford Brown. "There is a good chance on the appeal," said Brown. But Leibowitz presented her grievances against Szoverffy most ctearly in the Human Rights Commission suit, in which SUNY was held responsible for Szoverffy's allegedly discriminating acts. State HUman Rights Commissioner Werner II. Kramarsky concluded that Szoverffy: • was antagonistic toward female faculty members, that he harassed and mocked such members, threatened, and exhibited explosive behavior toward them, other female employees and students. • humiliated, threatened, verbally abused and physically manhandled the complainant (Leibowitz) • used sexist remarks denigrating to complainant and stated in conversations with her and others that comPhoto: Sass plainant is "evil," "dangerous," by Debby Smith Sex discrimination was the charge when New York State's Human Rights Commission recently ordered SUNY to pay $5000 in damages to former SUNYA Professor Judith Leibowitz. "It's the largest amount of compensatory damages given in the history of the State Human Rights Commission," said Division of Human Rights Assistant Counsel Robert Goodstein. The decision, in part, ordered SUNY to "cease and desist from mistreating its employees because of sex." While SUNY is currently appealing the ruling, Leibowitz remains Fundamentals + Execution = Batmen Success by Bob Bellaflore The 1979 Albany State varsity baseball team, according to new head coach Rick Skccl, can "hit. Held, and throw with anyone." But not overstocked with great talent, Skecl feels that this fall's batmen will have to "scratch and dent" in order to be successful. "1 have two basic goals this season," Skcel said. "I want to find out who we are as a ballclub, and what we can become." His long range goal, and that of the team, is to win the NCAA division III World Scries. Skeel insists that this is a realistic goal. "I've seen the teams there," he added, "and 1 know we can be one of them." The Danes who have been practicirg once, sometimes twice daily, have had fundamental i baseball drilled into them. 'Ihe new coach philosophises that no team can be successful if they can't perform the basics and perform them well. Skecl has admittedly left no stone unturned in this respect. Skcel has only two question marks on this squad. "Can we execute what we've learned?" Skcel wonders, "and is our pitching staff deep enough to handle the schedule?"' Indeed, the Danes must pluy 17 games in less than a month. Seven double-headers are slated, j with three in nine days in I September, and three more in seven ' days in October. Both stretches include one single game each. The longest rest between games is only Oirec days. Not only pitching depth I , Possible For Directory STUDENT PRESS Rights Comm. to Suriy: Pay Leibowitz $5000 In sex case. Same old game: Leibowitz and Szoverffy still at it. "We're shooting for October 19" P. 3 and "a threat." "The facts as produced in this case do not support a finding of liability against the University," suid SUNY Counsel Sanrord Lcvine. "We feel the University is not liable, even if the fads arc true." Brown called Levinc's appeal defective in that it was not filed in a "timely fashion." In fact, he said, a proper appeal was never filed at all. According to Brown, the document filed by SUNY was merely an "intent to appeal." "It was sloppiness on the part of SUNY," he said. "The appeal will probably not be dismissed." "It's a case of great injustice," said Szoverffy attorney Melvin L. Wolf. "We tried to get into it, so we could win, and weren't allowed to intervene." Wolf added that he is "as smart as he (Wolf) is because he was brought up in Troy High School, the best secondary school in the nation." Wolf feels confident that Leibowitz' case directly against Szoverffy will prove fruitless and a waste of time and money. Szoverffy, he said, feels vindicated of all charges. "He's been carrying a heavy burden of baseless allegation," said Wolf. He was represented by local ineffective counsel in Albany who kept gettin him in deeper and deeper until he got effective counsel, namely me. He was the victim of a vengeful teacher, who having failed to get tenure through regular steps in the University,persecuted him. He was innocent." Leibowitz' most recent legal action was a motion to obtain confidential documents in SUNYA's possession. The move came Friday in a further attempt to prove unfair denial of tenure. The long list of papers sought by Leibowitz includes teaching evaluations, in which Szoverffy allegedly falsified a statistical analysis. Although assailed in a 1975 presidential committee report as possessing "the temperamental and administrative incapacity" to chuir his department, Szoverffy was solicited for the position of German Department last year. A search committee formed to recommend a German chair, "side-stepped the issue and made a moot recommendation," stated College of Humanities and Fine Arts Dean John Shumaker. "The committee said many people in the department would be delighted to continued on page seven Former SA President Feldman Overspends SA Setback $14,000 by Bob Blascnstcin Former Student Association (SA) President Paul Feldman overextended last year's $70000 SA budget by $14000.

Feldman spent the extra money before the error was discovered this summer by former SA Controller Debbie Raskin. SA President Lisa Newmark said that a mistake "like this is very rare" and that it is difficult to pinpoint who made the error. Weinstock explained that the error was traced during the spring semester but was not corrected by the University Auxiliary SerivYces(UAS)'comPuler service "All deposits that arc made arc recorded and every expenditure is approved. This time the error wasn't caught," said Weinstock. "Paul should have been aware." Newmark explained cutbacks will have to be made to makd up for the loss of funds. "SA was used to being rich. Now we'll just have to cut back. It's just not realistic to try fundraising in this situation." Weinstock said that steps have already been taken to reduce spending, such as the removal of three telephones in Ihe SA office, and a reduction in xeroxing costs. There is also a possibility that there will be a raise in the Student Activity fee. He added that he plans to chec computer defects and "to use more prudent controls over expenditures" in order to avoid a similar -iroblem this year.

He said the letters promoted the department to begin checking failure rates. "There was a dramatic drop in the failure rate in some cases," he said. "We noticed that many people who were taking the exam as repeaters showed a 200-400 point improvement." He said about 70 percent of foreign-trained candidates failed the July exam, instead of the usual 85 percent to 90 percent, while there was a small change in the usual 10 percent failure rate among domestically trained nurse candidates. Sheldon said it was not known yet whether the security breach occurred on a state or national level. Arnold Bloom, a spokesman for the department, said the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the National Council of State Boards for Nursing were investigating the allegations. Bloom said there were indications that the questions were available in Chicago, Philadelphia and Detroit as well as in New York state. "Not only will we not accept the test results for the cxarn given in New York slate, but we will not accept results from candidates who took the exam in other slates," Bloom said. KWorld News BriefsD F.D. A. To Smoke Out Dope WASHINGTON (AP) Federal drug enforcement Administrator Peter B. Bensingcr called Sunday for new diplomat ic steps to wipe out drug crops, particularly in Latin America and the Mideast. Bensinger criticized a new federal law which limits U.S. support for spraying paraquat to destroy marijuana at its source. He said a new federal law which limits U.S. aid for hcrbicidal spraying programs of marijuana has hindered enforcement of drug control laws. "While I defer to HEW, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare on health, I wonder if this handtying approach was the real intention of the Congress when the paraquat amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act was passed," he said. "Moreover, I question if the harmful effects of marijuana with paraquat arc really more serious than of marijuana without paraquat." There have been reports that paraquat can cause paralysis. In a speech prepared for the annual convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police in Dallas, Bensingcr said, "Wc need to help turn off the free-flowing drug faucets around the world as has been done so effectively in Mexico."

(AP) In a move thut could afreet more than 100,000 nursing candidates, New York officials have decided not to honor the results of a nationwide certification examination because of reports of cheating.

"We began gelling letters in mid-July from candidates who said they had either purchased the exam or knew of people who had." said Thomas Sheldon, coordinator of professional education for Balloon Flight To Freedom NAILA, West Germany (AP) Four children and four adulls bet their lives on a hoi air balloon made of nylon and bedshects and drifted through the darkness of East Germany, hilling the jackpot — freedom across the border in West Germany. Peter Strclzek, an airplane mechanic who designed the escape craft, told reporters Sunday the 12-mile, 20-30 minute flight was his second attempt lo escape by balloon from his communist-ruled homeland. "It was no longer possible for us to lie to our children and pul up with Ihe political conditions in East Germany," he said.

(AP) A small daily newspaper, objecting to "the shadow of government censorship," has rushed into print with a letter that discusses what the government calls nuclear weapon secrets — information a federal judge had forbidden a California newspaper to publish. "Wc have had no c-ttact with any authorities and we hope it stays that way," editor Ron McCrca said after the II.0(10 -circulation Madison Press Connection printed the letter in a special Sunday edition. The pring came hours after U.S. District Judge Robert Schnacke of San Francisco signed a temporary restraining order Saturday against publication of the letter by the Daily Californian of Berkeley. The government, seeking a restraining order against the California student newspaper, said the letter contained "secret, restricted data," that could "help other nations develop nuclear weaponry and injure the U.S."The Energy and Justice departments acted against the Daily Californian under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, which provides penalties of up to 10 years in jail for possessing, and communicating "restricted data," The Press Connection announced Saturday evening that it had received from an anonymous source u copy of the letter written by computer programmer Charles Hansen, 32, of Mountuinview, California. Other recipients of the 18-page document were asked to surrender their copies, authorities suid. The New York Times today quoted Ihe Energy Department's deputy general counsel, Eric J. Fygi, as saying the Press Connection was not on the department's lisl of seven papers that had the letter. Meanwhile, ihe Chicago Tribune said it plans to publish parts of ihe Idler Thursday "because of the government's behavior concerning Ihe letter," A newspaper owned by the Tribune Co. also has already published a pari of Ihe letter. In San Francisco, the American Civil Liberties Union said il would seek lo vacate Judge Schnacke's order. Executive Director Dorothy Erhllch said il is a "serious abridgment of First Amendment rights," and that a ban on publication is now moot, U.S. Attorney Frank lucrkkeimer of Madison said Ihe Press Connection's publication of ihe letter was under'study by his superiors and that it was unclear what action might be taken.

Richard Ilehur After denouncing Congress' recent SALT 11 proposal as harmful to national Interests, former Army Chief of Staff Gen. William C. Westmoreland went on to call lor an increase in United States military power. S p e a k i n g before a^ press conference at the Empire Stale Plaza on Sunday, Westmoreland took his first stand on the controversial arms limitation treaty. After subjecting the proposal to careful scrutiny, he concluded that "the U.S. would be belter off without it." Westmoreland told reporters that ratification of the contract with the Soviet U nion would not only further Ihe buildup of weapons among lite two super-powers, but could also prove significant in restricting technology in which the U.S. "already lias a preeminent position." Citing the p r e s e n c e of Russian troops in Cuba as evidence of the' global threats facing the United States, the general requested that the Senate take a broad look at the nation's military readiness. He feels that U.S. defensive capabilities have wken a steady nosedive, producing a loss of strength to the Soviels. "We need a nuclear posture that is as invulnerable as possible," he told newsmen, "to the point where the U.S. will never have lo 'pay the price'." Westmoreland, who served as ALBANY STUDENT U.S. commander in Vietnam from 1964-1968 and as Army Chief of Staff in the late 1960s, suggested that the entire treaty be rewritten to stress botli Ihe number of weapons Ihe nations may sustain, and a U.S. move into programs that arc less costly and more effective. Westmoreland's position on the issue joins him with more than 1500 retired generals and admirals who, like himself, have recently requested Senate rejection of the agreement. Ihe general visited Albany and Saratoga Springs as part of Ihe third annual conference of the Great American Achievements Program, un organization designed to keep the public informed of US history and political evolution. During his stay, he was named as Chairman of the Advisory Board for the Bicentennial Council of the Thirteen Original Stales Fund, Inc. Westmoreland blamed many current American problems as stemming from a lack of good leadership. "Wc have too many elected representatives with myopic vision who arc begging for votes and too many followers and not enough leaders," IK said. He called Congress' failure to endorse a hill requiring ull 18-yearolds lo register for military service "unconscionable". The general referred to Ihe sharp reduction of manpower in the federal reserve, National Guard, and military services as sufficient ground for mandating selective service. "It would take seven months for a new recruit to be ready for battle at this point," he said. "A lot can happen in seven months."

The decision to retain the winnertake-all primary is worth 85 to 10 extra convention delegates for Reagan if his vote total next June 3 is the same as his current standing In the polls, which show him favored by 44 percent to 50 percent of the voters in a field of nine potential candidates. The proportional division of delegates was proposed by backers of former Texas Gov. John Connally and other contenders for the Republican nomination. At the same lime state party delegates were voting to retain the winner-take-all primary, they also overwhelmingly endorsed Reagan for president in an unofficial slraw vote. In the straw vote for president, which has no effect on the delegate selection, Reagan was the choice of 522 delegates. Connally trailed with 133, followed by U.S. Sen. Howard Baker ot Tennessee with 26. State party chairman Truman Campbell said he favored winnertake-all because it builds party unity and gives the state more clout at the national convention than a delegation divided among many candidates. called for U.S. Senate rejection of the SALT II treaty with the Soviet Union. He previously had questioned and criticized the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty, but Saturday he described it as a "fatally flawed" But he conceded the real reason the party voted to retain winnerlake-all was to help Reagan, the 68-year-old former California governor whose backers still dominate the state GOP. "1 don't think it excaped any of you that the percentage favoring winncr-take-ali closely approximates the percentage favoring Governor Reagan in the straw poll," Campbell commented al a news conference. Reagan; who was featured speaker Saturday at the convention, insisted he did not lobby any delegates on the primary question.

On a lopsided 675-227 ballot Sunday, delegates to the state GOP convention decided to let California remain the only state that gives all of its convention delegates to the winner of its primary, rather than dividing them In proportion to the popular vote.

Crntrr Adrienne McCann An elderly man jogged about the pavement in circles, his Adidas sneakers slapping against the sidewalk cement. And blue shorts, and a white and blue shirlfronl decorated with red striped sleeves flashed by. The band went on to disco, which sounded like a barely disguised polka. (Every selection sounded like barely disguised polka.) And a woman began discoing down the sidewalk. Her husband, walking nonchalantly a few leet ahead of her with another couple, turned around and with a quick jerk of his head, motioned for her to catch up. And the woman obliviously discoed on. A young, blond haired man, wire rimmed glasses framing his round (ace, wore a Playboy bunny insignia on his red polyester shirt. He walked briskly into the Convention Hall at the Empire State Plaza, unknowingly the leader of a small-but-growing crowd of followers. The group shuffled single file into the Convention Hall and quietly found seats amongst the black plastic chairs. Chair of the Board of Trusteesof the Great American Achievement Program (GAAP), Robert McKenna spoke on the Bicentennial: "Declaring independence was not enough. We had to win independence. We are now celebrating the U.S. Constitution," he said to the settled-in group. T h e Great American Achievement Program, which began in 1976, is held annually in one of the 13 original states, focusing on one of 13 different topics.

Inliuwltn AIWIU.HU A slimly built woman in the back of the Hall fanned herself slowly with a printed-oul copy of the evening's program, and stifled a yawn. "We've got to vote," he stressed. "Amei lea is not only a word, it is a dream . . . America is the land of honey. . .It is the land where an immigrant farmer can become anything he wants to be!" DiSienna concluded that we were lucky not to be in the U.S.S.R., where, after such a speech, he could be arrested by the secret police. "Or where you would be prevented from corning!" More polite applause. And more yawns. But then Art Buchwald crossed the podium to the microphone. The crowd came to life. "It is 9:35, ladies and gentlemen. Do you know where Margaret Truman is?" Art Buchwald. He bounced as he joked and grinned mischieviously when the audience laughed. "Despite what you may have heard, 1 have great respect for Jimmy Cartuh. 1 worship the very quicksand he walks on . . . Carter was not the first president to try the fireside chat. Jerry Ford tried it — but the fire went out As he read Irom the large, while index on the podium stand, his right hand quickly pushed his thick glasses, which kept slipping off his nose, back on. " . . . The President. I feel sorry for him. He's having all sorts ol problems now; running problems, Ham problems, rabbit problems . . . " As he rambled on, it was sometimes difficult to understand his slow, Brooklynaccented lisp. But that didn't, that couldn't prevent his listeners from thoroughly enjoying him . . . A man in the front row wiped his eyes wit h a green hanky, sat back in his plastic chair and sighed. Buchwald discovered a solution to the saccharin problem. "They've got to develop a stronger rat." And he talked abou| Henry Kissinger. "Even if Henry didn't tell the truth — he said it so well you didn't care. . . "And President Carter's killer rabbit incident particularly bothered Buchwald. "It was the lirst time that the Presideni of the U.S. was not believed by his own staff, and that disturbs me. It also says something about Presideni Carter's stall." And the group murmured their agreement. Half of Buchwald's humor Sunday night was contained in his voice; his precise timing, speaking-for-themselves pauses and the sharp rise in his whiney voice. "I get this stuff from the front page of the newspapers," he pleaded. "Honestly, folks. I couldn't — 1 couldn't ever make this stuff up." Buchwald stepped off the podium to thunderous applause. The crowd quickly began dwindling. And Benny Harris's orchestra, accompanied by Washington singer Cherlyn Hart, ended the evening with "God Bless America."

And the press woman in the next seat tapped her foot in time to the jiggling beat, her knee pumping up, down and up, and the jazz soothed on . . . The crowd relaxed and applauded politely when the musical interlude was over. President of the Boy's State Nation, a youth league of the American Legion for 1979, Frank DiSienna, Clifton Park boy made good, was introduced. The tall, dark-haired bearded high-school senior smiled, composed. "I'm pretending that all of you paid for your tickets to hear me," he told the group. The group tittered. But then DiSienna got onto the hard stuff. "It is simply not enough to say 'I'm an American.' There are responsibilities that go along with it," he lectured.

The Socialist Party has publicly supported the break-up of the French government's monopoly on local broadcasting, and plans to make free radio an issue in the 1981 presidential elections. As part of its "free radio" campaign, the Socialist Party put its own pirate station "Radio Riposte" on the air, and the station reportedly immediately received wide support from the French people. However, heavily armed police recently raided "Radio Riposte's" studio, using tear gas to seize their transmitters and equipment. A n d now, the French government has decided to prosecute those operating the station, including Socialist Party Leader Mitterand, for violating that nation's strict broadcasting regulations. Mitterand and other "Radio R i p o s t e " s t a f f members face sentences of up to one year in prison and a $2000 (dollar) line.

FINAL FALL to Israel Mon., Sept. 24th Jail Tale A committee looking into charges that John Spenkclink wasabused by prison guards before his execution has been told they may never find out if the charges arc true because no autopsy was performed on the executed man. Recent reports that the new Fleetwood Mac album " T u s k " cost $500,000 to produce may not even be close to the actual cost. The L-P's Producer, Richard Bashet, told Billboard magazine that the new album may be "One of the most, if not the most expensive album, ever produced." Bashet hinted at a cost in excess o f $1 million which may be a reasonable estimate, since the group spent nine months in the studio at a reported cost of $20,000 per week. That's $720,000 for studio time alone. Adding on the producers' and technicians' salaries and miscellaneous costs such as tape and equipment, the estimate of $1 million appears to be a realistic estimate o f "Tusk's" production costs.

The increase would reportedly put spending f o r the defense department at three percent above Ihe current year. Carter has said he will also seek an increase i n defense spending in I9K1.

ALB/.>Y STUDENT PRESS PAGE ELEVEN iini> nm ii<i iwln viewpoint columns To Ihe Editor: Another housing shortage. Your Iwo-part report that appeared recently told "about" it, but it fell short of explaining it. A few additional questions that might have been asked: * Has this happened before: Answer. Yes. For the-last six years, the University hus had students tripled, crowded in lounges, and told that there is noaddilional housing available on campus. The University has, however, been consistent in their explanation for the problem. "More people slaying on campus than we expected." "More new students accepting bids for admission than we expected." "The situation was particularly bad this semester." * Why is this allowed to happen? Answer, I honestly don't know. Someone gets paid a lot of money to plan admissions and housing policy. Can she/he be doing a good job? (Reminder: the last two years have yielded more on campus space through the opening of Mohawk Tower, and more space through increased occupancy at the Wellington and Pill mil n Hall. The triples, lounge students, and people turned down for housing altogether are numbers above and beyond even this additional space.)* What about students turned down for housing altogether? Answer: They were and still arc facing problems. (A) They received notification of their status in the first two weeks of July. That left them little time to consider other schools if housing availability wascrucialtotheirchoice of colleges. (H) They were turned loose, so to speak, on an already glutted housing market off campus. This, keep in mind, is a market limited by an anti-grouper law, rising utility costs, and other factors. (C) Landlords are not (despite popular opinion) stupid. They know that no housing on campus makes a sellers' market off campus. One need not be an economics major to realize what increased demand, constant supply does to rents. * What about students tripled, lounged, Pitlman-ed or otherwise not normally housed? Answer. Hard to determine without talking lo them. Your articles gave no indication that they had been asked their feelings. 1 would have to guess, though, that they are not pleased. I imagine that it's rough to study, part, entertain guests, or even relax comfortably when you're packed into a room that has more people than it was built for. The effects of this strain on students' academic standing, health, and sanity really can't be measured. Not knowing when their housing will be made normal and permanent can only add to the frustration. * What docs the housing shortage mean to the University? Answer: (A) A couple of people on the residence staff have to work overtime rationalizing the situation and trying to detriple when possible. (B) Ihe Infirmary and University Counseling Center are probably up their cars in distressed individuals. (C) The University makes money. THINK: If the University has a six-person suite uptown that rents for $375/person/scmcster, that suite brings in total revenues of $2250 per semester under normal occupancy. If the University puts a seventh student into that suite, residents are "compensated" by a rent reduction to $350/pcrson/semcster. This, however, brings total revenues for that suite up to $2450/semester ($350 x 7). If SUN YA triples 125 students for one semester, th y 2.

The tenant shall inform the landlord of his , intent to sublease or assign by mailinga notice of such intent by registered or certified mail. Illegal — Tenant will reimburse landlord for the expense of attorney*;' fees and disbursements if (he landlord shall institute an action or summary proceeding against the Tenant. by giving Tenant five days notice in writing.

NYPIRG News Sue Burke Digesting A Raw Yearbook Ever cat a raw steak? Some people have developed the notion that it is wiser to have a yearbook that only encompasses the events of six months, excluding spring, when the academic year's most touted and exciting events take place. The only logical reason for rushing the book is to have it out before school ends, and that just doesn't seem to make sense in light of all that will be missed. Mnyfcst, Graduation, Senior Spring Podiating, Spring sports, and the reopening of the fountains arc just a few events that will never make it into your documented remembrance of SUNYA if the editors are forced to meet deadlines in early March. If the book is mailed to all seniors in the September following, no event will be missed. The yearbook will be a current book, as up to date as the academic year it covers. Not only will more things be covered, but the staff will have more time to insure photographic quality and design excellence. Also, when a yearbook arrives while seniors arc still seniors, and not graduates, it might be taken for granted, as no one will have left yet. By September, anyone interested in their yearbook will have more of a desire to view it. This week, the seniors arc asked to give their opinions in a yearbook poll. If you want a better yearbook, covering a full year's events, at a time when you'll really enjoy seeing it, then vote for a Fall yearbook. You can cat raw steak, but if you're willing to wait just a little bit, you can enjoy it cooked. . — J.B.G. The Sardine Effect When a class fills up during registration, they don't let anyone else in. There would be crowding, congestion and a situation where some students would be forced to suffer because they are going to school under adverse conditions. This is exactly the situation in housing, wherein some administrators have not yet discovered that admitting too many students is detrimental to quality education. Il is understandable for a crowding problem to occur once, but there is no reason for it lo happen year after year, worstcning with each fall. It does not seem to be so difficult lo arrive at more accurate percentages for acceptance rates so students will not have to sleep in lounges, RA suites, or be forced to search for off-campus housing so hurriedly, thai more money is spent for less desirable accommodations. It was last year when the administration claimed that more students had been accepted than anticipated, but that claim is outdated now, and docs not suffice as a passable excuse. This university has an extensive housing office and admissions staff, and there is no reason why the acceptance guesses should be so far off from the truth. There is still tremendous overcrowding, after adding all of Mohawk Tower, a n d ' Pillman Hull. The building of eight two story garden apartments lo house 440 more students is a necessary, timely idea, but until they are ready to have students walk in and unpack, some extremely careful research had better be done lo insure that this sardine effect never happens again. — J.B.G.

A far more serious problem could be Carolyne Mas' unfamiliarity with fame. Many a musician with electric potential and a great . manager has been unable to reproduce that initial surge on a long term basis. For some, creativity inspires the title "flash in the pan." Five years ago Mas was singing in Gilbert and Sullivan operas and applying lo the Julliard School of Music. She didn't follow through on either. Instead she went on the rock club circuit, always as the opening acl for a more public name. It was only one year ago this month that Mas signed on a manager and producer (Faris Bouhafa and Steve Burgh respectively) and hit the smaller clubs outside of the Metropolitan area lo sharpen her skills in a cram course on stardom. March 14 and 15 were Carolyns Mas' lirst headline performances at a major club. Only ALBANY STUDENT PRESS six months ago. Mercury records signed her that week. Within a month she was touring the Northeast and Eastern Canada, an area often frequented by the big city rockers she emulates. The major cities on her tour include Boston, Albany, New Haven, Asbury Park (possibly to pay a tribute!), and a packed encore show at Syracuse. She has planned to continue on her present tour until at least the third week of October. Airplay on the group's first album is steadily increasing. Tours keep growing In length. Record sales are rising amid an industry slump. The luture looks rosy for thisnymphbecome-star. Her elegantly raucous flair for lyrical description and musical excitement make her an irresistable pleasure to watch. Some will say that she is diving head lirst into an arena she hasn't yet had enough exposure to. I think her finale number on Wednesday answers that best. "You cannot win if you do not play."

"With the triple option, you never Iknow what is going to happen,"said Ford. "You take basically what they're giving you. Terry's a good runner, and he was getting the keep off the corner a lot. The thing I was concerned with was that he never seemed to be coming out of there running. He came out stumbling too much of the time, and he'd stumble around the corner, and then once he regained his balance and his composure he made some pretty good runs." "It's a give and take thing." said Walsh. "If they're taking the corner away, we're just going to jump it up the middle, and if they jump lo me. then we take the corner. We were moving the hall on the ground, and We could have had two more touchdowns no trouble at all if we didn'l fumble the hall. It was just a matter of a couple of bad mistakes." Ten points was plenty, though, because the Albany defense was simply unyielding. Four players Sal Indelicato, John Veruto, Don Hyde, and Larry Pearson had six tackles, and whenever llobarl gave even the slightest trace of breaking through, a Dane defender put a quick slop to it.

Also I promised it to my girlfriend," beamed the sophomore who played a line defensive game. Scbieffelin was cautiously optimistic after his team's first showing, "We were a little frustrated," he said, "The score could have been much belter; we didn't have the finishes we wanted." Indeed, the Mooters had some line scoring chance's which failed. Center forward Afrim Ne/aj alone had two shots hit the post. "We played well. The score could have easily been four or five to nothing,"commented Ne/aj as he echoed the frustrations of his teammates. One area which continues lo b-- a problem is the mid field position. Schielielin has yet to come up with a combination that is effective. Robert Dahab, Alii Kamara, and Cieorge Forcro started on Saturday but some changes may be upcoming at this position. "Our midficld play wasn't good." Scbieffelin said. "They are overhandling the ball and not distributing quickly enough. Once we get this straightened out we'll be all right." A point which encouraged C^JIX <£8*Rq/<3CE£ performance of the defense as whole, the Danes achieved something unusual an opening game win. and something even rarer a shutout. "We had a good lime out there; il Wits fun," said Pearson. "Thai was Ihc higgesl pan about it. When they tried lo run. we were there. I don't know ihc last time we had a shutout.

There were some problems because il was our first game, but we dominated the first hall." ' Albany hardly had lime to celebrate as they returned home to face Soulhainpton University of England in an exhibition match Sunday afternoon. The Englishmen came out on lop 3-0, hut this result deserves some explanation. Scbieffelin used his starting players in the first half only al which lime Ihc score was 1-0. "Play was balanced in the first hall. We made a few technical mistakes hut they were a good side. The score was really 1-0," observed the veteran coach. Southampton has been a consistent title winner in Southern England and now stand 6-1 on their tour of the Northeastern United States. They suffered their only defeat al the hands of Oneonta Stale, whom the Danes will host 1 riday night at Meeker Stadium, Southampton team manager Neil IhilUwell made some observations im the match, "Albany obviously has several skilled ballplayers; but if they had a belter pitch (field) to play on they would.be improved."

That is a relevant number, because with 14 games to play, Mr. Rose needs 14 hits to reach 200 and salvage something from this otherwise sorry season. So what's the big deal about 200 »' hits, you ask. Well, if Rose makes the plateau, it will be the 10th time in his career that he's done it, and that's where Ty Cobb comes in. Cobb, with a world record 4,191 hits in his fabulous career, packaged 200 in a season nine times. Nobody — not Honus Wagner, not Cap Anson, not Willie Kceler— ever did it 10 times. With two weeks to go, Cobb and Rose remained tied for the most 200hil seasons in a career (9) and with 14 hits to go, Rose has a shot at his own line in the record book and you have to know he'd love that. Cobb, though, probably wouldn't mind. Rose is his kind of player — head first slide, never give an inch, hustle all the time. The problem with this season is that Rose is out of the pennant race, an unpleasant and strange situation for him. In his years with Cincinnati, Pete became accustomed to September excitement. The Reds, remember, have a proud history of autumn achievement during the last decade. When Rose walked away from Cincinnati last winter, via the free agent route, and Manager Sparky Anderson was unceremoniously dumped, it seemed the Big Red Machine might have suffered irreparable damage.

Moschella started the rally by lining a leadoff single to second. The first basemen bunted the ball to Mark Dodge, Utica's starting pitcher, who threw Moschella out at second. But due to Moscclla's hard slide, Utica's hopes for a double play were foiled. Albany's next batter, designated hitler Bob Rhodes, hit a ground ball to short, forcing McCarthy at second.

Sophomore Matt Brancato, aft-l205 lb. defensive end. , and junior Steve Shoen, a 6-1 230 lb. defensive tackle, though, had good reason to be jittery. Brancato was slatting for lire first time in his college career, while Shoen was making his return to the Danes' lineup alter a year away from school. Poor Hobart. The Statesmen's offensive unit fell the brunt of the two players' nervous energy, as Brancato stood out wilh three quarlerbuck sacks and a fine performance overall, and Shoen had lour tackles in addition lo a sack. "I fell more nervous this game than ever before," said Brancato, "because you know how the other guys are expecting you lo do your purl. I didn't wanl lo lei anyone down." It was Brancnlo's first-quarter hit on Hobart halfback Greg Heiu that caused Hcln to fumble the ball away to Ihe Danes. This eventually led lo Da rio Arango's 24-yard field | goal and Albany's first points of the season. | Defensive coordinator Jack Siedlccki is pleased with Brancato. "I feel Mall potentially is one of the best football players we have in our program." Siedlccki said. "He'sa big, strong kid and very touchable. I had him as a linebacker last year arrd then we moved him to defensive end and he just moved. He had no qualms about it. And now he's starling. He's doing a great job for us." Shoen, who led Albany in tackles and QB sacks two years ago, couldn't wait to get back in the trenches again. "I could hardly sleep lasl night," Shoen said following Ihe 10-0 victory. "I was up for the game prepared. I was jusl very excited to be back playing football I again."

Ever smiling and humble, he added, "1 guess I was just lucky." Unfortunately, Albany also scored the game's next goal. It was unfortunate because it counted for Pittsburgh, Under pressure from Ihe Cardinal forwards, sweeper back Vlado Sergovich and keeper Alberto Giordano misunderstood each other on how they were going lo handle a hack pass to Giordano. "Albc-lo came out lo receive Ihe ball," said Schieffclin, "and he hesitated just when Vlado kicked the ball. Because he was off-balance the ball rolled past him." That mistake lied Ihc match l-l. A play like that might have dented Ihc confidence of an inexperienced defense like Albany's, especially if it had cost them the game.

"There's no question, if they could have thrown Ihc the ball it would have been a different football game," said Albany defensive coordinator Jack Siedlccki. "Because everything we did was lo to defeat the run. Everything. And we really did a job on Ihem. them. We came up wilh with a lot of big plays." "They're like our offense," added cornerback Joe Rajezak. Rajczak. "When they're in a throwing situalion, situation, they'd rather run. So that's the way we had our game plan rigged — for the run mostly. Later on in the game, we knew they had lo to start coming back and start throwing the ball." Albany's passing game did not exactly distinguish itself, either. Dane quarterback Terry Walsh threw only eight limes, times, wilh with three completions, and adding in three trick pass plays, the Albany offense Hick compiled a less-lhan-robusl less-than-robusl 53 5.1 yards passing.

Walsh was the Danes' top rusher wilh with 91 yards, followed by Levi Louis wilh 50 yards and Jack Burger wilh 43. Both Albany scoring drives were composed primarily of running plays, but both also needed a crucial pass completion to continue the d r i v e .

This was Ihc first of three surprise plays attempted by Albany in the first half, with only one, an endaround to Lusher, meeting with any success. "I fooled around too much in the first half with a lot of different things," said Albany head coach Bob Ford. "We were reaching into a grab bag, trying to reach hold of something that would put us in Ihe endzonc quickly, and you get into trouble thai way. What you're looking for is shock value.
