Unlike the Danes' 56-0 laugher over Brooklyn on Saturday, their
next home game against Norwich won't be a joking matter. Just ask
Albany head football coach Bob Ford.
"It will be hard-nosed football," Ford said. "Norwich will be a
complete package - great kicking game, outstanding offense and a
respectable defense."
Following the Brooklyn victory, some of the Dane ballplayers
commented on their upcoming battle against a club that earlier this
season was rated tops in the East. Now the Cadets arc 5-1 and were
ranked ninth in the recent poll.
Defensive tackle Larry Pearson: "1 feel like we're in a big test lube
and we're ready to break. And we gotta break on Norwich. We gotta
rock the house."
Cornerback Joe Rajczak: "If we win, we'll have a good shot at the
playoffs. It's definitely our biggest week all year."
Linebacker John Veruto: "Whenever we have a game like this, we
always seem to rise lo Ihc occasion. It's all going lo be determined on
how we practice."
Offensive guard Tom Scarpinato: "We have confidence in
ourselves. We'll have pretty intense pracliccs. Everyone's going lo
crack down."
Halfback Sam Haliston: "Every time we play another learn, the
mentality of each player is different. Against Norwich, we know
we're coming up against a very good learn. The mentality of the learn
has lo escalate."
Halfback Jack Burger: "It's whal we've been"wailing for all year.
We can determine our playoff position. If we win, we go. If we lose,
ve don't deserve to go. But, I know we're hot going to lose."

game's finish, they would have only

Bob Ford was not at all shocked by

knew they were probably a weak
opponent," Ford said. "That's the

Maintaining the status quo of an

offense that has problems developing a passing attack, Ihc Danes
gained their third shutout of the
season, and had scoring plays of 50,
39, 38, and 27 yards among their
eight touchdowns. The final passing
statistics were not as impressive:

Jury Acquits Buchanan and Vita
Students Claim Injustice
by Michele Israel
and Sylvia Saunders
Albany police officers Michael
Buchanan and Richard Vila were
acquitted ol six criminal charges
Wednesday night as the 12-member
Albany County Court jury found
them not guilty of extortion,
robbery, and burglary.
After 90 minutes of deliberation,
the jury delivered its verdict at 11:15

robbery in the second degree,
burglary in the second and third
degrees, and two counts of petty
larceny.
If convicted, the officers could
have faced maximum prison
sentences of 22 years.
Prosecuting attorney Dennis
Acton said he was not surprised, but
disappointed with the final decision.
"Ever since we started this case, we
knew there were severe problems."
he said. "In a case like this, it's hard
to convince a jury beyond a
reasonable doubt."
Acton added that most of the
jurors "were middle-aged or older
and were raised during an era in
which police officers were always
admired and treated with respect.
The thrust of my approach was to
work against this preconceived
notion."
"The defense case." he said, "was
totally based on innuendos and
name calling. There were very few .
facts."
V i t a ' s a t t o r n e y Paul V.
Cheesemaii. said he was surprised til
the small amount of time in which
the jury was able to complete
deliberations. He added that one of
the reasons for the acquittal was the
"poor impression the students made
on the jury because they had
committed themselves, the students
destroyed their own credibility.
After those revelations, ihc unv
placed much less helievability in
their testimonies." Cheesemnn said.
"Based upon the evidence, he
added, "it was also apparent that it

it came out that alter the first
incident, all the students got
together before {SUNYA student

"I don't believe the verdict," said
Acton. "There were so many
discrepancies and ridiculous things
in both the stories of the
defendants."
I.enkiewie/, the student from
which the officers allegedly stole

A Partial Prescription
For Improving America's
Economics Performance:
The Case For Luxury Taxation
The unexpected growth in economic
activity which occurred in the third quarter of
this year was viewed by most economists and
governmental policy-makers as bad rather
than good news.
The reason for this seemingly strange view
has to do with the consumer's response to
currenl and expected levels of inflation.
Public attitudes of "buy now, before the price
goes u p " and "why save since inflation will
make savings worth less in the future" have
resulted in the consumer spending the highest
percentage of his income and consequently
saving the lowest percentage than in any
quarter since the great depression of the
19.10's.
Savings, however, provide the funds for
investment a n d investment p r o v i d e s
technological advances and productivity
increases which result in rising standards of
living in the long run.
America's penchant for high consumption
and low investment has been held by man to
be responsible for the very low growth in
productivity we have experienced in the past
several years. Indeed, our 4.2% third-uuarter
savings rate compares with a more than 15%
rale for Germany and more than 20% for
Japan, two high-technology fastcr-grwoth
economies.
the deficit will soar, and to inflict a substantial
tax cut on a rapidly widening budget deficit
amidst continuing rapid inflation appears
neither prudent nor likely.
Let us instead, reduce taxes or. profits, but
pay for these tax reductions by imposing taxes
on things that rich people buy. This would
create an additional incentive for people to
invest rather than consume, since the cost of
lavish consumption would be raised.
The proposed tax would cover a broad
array of goods and services: it would generally
not be imposed on sales below the median
selling price of the good or service and would
become steeply progressive at high
percentiles.
What this would mean, as applied to the
sale of. for example, an automobile, would be
thai there would be no tax on new car sales of
under $6,000, a modest tax between six and
ten thousand dollars, and perhaps a $2,000 to
$4,000 tax on a $20,000 car. The same
philosphy would be applied to sales of houses,
watches, hotel rooms, etc.
In addition, some goods could be classed as
luxuries and become subject to taxation at all
'levels of product sales. Examples of such
goods could include pleasure boats, jewelry
and entertainment.
As to the specific complaints that were

"I give u p , " he answered in lovelorn
resignation. "What was Hitler's second book
called?" And the next day, after he had spent
literally hours in the public library looking for
a book entitled, How to Make Friends and
Annihilate People, it dawned on Eb that his
little coquette might've been putting him on.
"Remember Eb," as his wise and sagacious
father was wont to say with his forefinger
pointed to the heavens, "never involve
yourself with a woman below yoqr station."
Accordingly, Flo could never understand
what it was Eb was looking for when he
peered below the train tracks at the depot
crying out, "Anybody there?" When someone
once told Flo that she was generous to a fault,
Eb somehow couldn't reconcile theronjii'-edup image of his sister throwing dollar hills into

"Never stain your heritage by cohorttng

warn as he marched about the house to
Wagner's Right of the Valkvries. "Avoid the
indulgences of the weak and shallow al heart.
Do not, above all, dilute the purity of your
race or creed, Eb, with a lewd and lascivious
tryist involving yourself and any young tart
deemed loose or frowsy. Unless you're very
very drunk."
Such was their father. Eb vowed to take
heed of his advice.
"By my faith," he asserted, "indiscretions of
this kind won't happen again!" But as (ate

"Forgive him father." Flo would plead in
Eb's defense, "for he knows nut what he is
doing."
But their father was adamant in his disgust
and Eb felt a cold darkness pervading his
vacuous existence.
"I guess Dad's mad, huh?" observed Eh
acutely.
" M a d ? " Flo countered, "he's beside
himself."
Eb wondered if such a thing was humanly
possible. He stared al the floor as his father
continued to browbeat him, mulling over his
future.
"Let's go to Sardi's" he said abruptly and in
a minute Eb had convinced Flo to accompany
him to Manhattan's elite restaurant. The two
dashed out of the house leaving their father
alone with his makeshift pulpit. They were
there iiTfto time at all and were escorted to a
comfortable booth by a window. As Eb and
Flo scanned the wine list, something caught
Eb's eye, sending---him into something
resembling an epileptic fit.
"Watch i t , " Flo reacted, " y o u almost

But such matters seemed positively
mundane at this point for Eb had spot led The

most intimate and most divine manner —
Jacqueline Bouvier Onassis. Flo turned
around and sure enough, there sat only a few

music, oppressive heat and smoky fog spread
evenly across the room. By the time a third
person jabs you in the ribs, you're about
ready to give up the fight and try to inch your
way back to the door. But then you catch
sight of a couple of friends seated in the back
corner. It's like seeing a light at the end of the
tunnel. Now if you can only get there.
Finally you reach the table. Eleven people
are huddled around the picnic style table
meant to seat six. Two amber colored
pitchers are strategically placed at each end
•)f the table so they're sure to be within
everyone's reach. After all, the contents of
these pitchers are what make the evening.
These pitchers provide the laughs, the
conversation, and set the mood for the entire
evening. Before you can even find a chair,
someone automatically hands you a glass
filled with beer.
It's amazing how you've acquired a taste for
the bitter beverage. It wasn't too long ago that
you didn't even like the stuff. You even have a
favorite brand by now.
You glance around the room to spot a few
familiar faces or at least to spot a few with
whom you'd like to be familiar. After all, that's
what bars are f o r . . . The juke box is blaring
continuously as songs like "American Pie"
and "White Rabbit" echo throughout the
room. You know every word. The lights are
dimming as it gets later and people seem to
feel the need to be hidden by the darkness. As
the evening progresses, there is less and less
floor space available and more and more
people b e c o m i n g their d r u n k e n a n d
supposedly uninhibited selves.
All of a sudden the people whom you hadn't
noticed at the table next to you start singing
"Happy Birthday" to the guy at the head of
their table. You know, he's the one with the
glazed look on his face and all the empty
glasses in front of him. They cheer him on as
he downs his 16th kamikaze and someone
else heads to the bar to get him another. After
all, how else can someone celebrate his
birthday?
Your attention is drawn back lo your own
table, Your roommate is sitting on the lap of
some guy you've never seen before. They
seem to be getting along pretty well. It must
be the alcohol . . .
Soon it's your turn to buy the next pitcher,
so you slowly t'dijt j your way up to the bar.
Now that you've become experienced at
pushing your way through the crowd, it only
takes about 10 minutes lo get your pile her

In a random survey conducted April '78,
Welly says that 94.7 percent of the students
indicated that 'they drank once every two
months. Of this 91.7 percent, 8 percent drink
once every two months, 7 percent drink every
month, 25 percent drink 2-4 limes per month,
27 percent drink 5-8 times per month, and 15
percent drink 13 or more limes per month.
filled.
The major reason for excessive drinking, he
says. Is peer pressure. "It's obvious," he explains, "that to be accepted in a group, drinking is important." He also said that students
may feel the need to escape since this Is a
competitive school.
Back at the table you stare into your filled
glass and try to see your reflection, but you
can't. How ninny beers have you had,
anyway? Your head starts to spinas if you're
on top of the double ferris wheel. You've also
got this funny feeling in your head . . . and
you start home.
On your way back to your room you stop in
the bathroom only to find the girl down the
hall kneelingin front of the sink swearing she'll
never drink again. She groans as she explains
how good the second floor whiskey sour
party was. With a little help, she passes
through a couple of hours of churning, barfing
and dry heaving. She looks as if she's lost just
about all of her insides. Finally it's safe to put
her to bed. You walk her down to her room,
but nobody looks twice because they've seen
this many limes before. You make her as
comfortable as possible and place the pail on

you could possibly match the quality, the price
would be roughly ten times that amount).

"Barbarosa" had hardly put a dent In his

felt significantly less remorse, however, during
a thorough customs search by FBI agents at
the Boston Airport upon his return.
Also acquainted, to some extent, with the
underground drug world in Central and South
America, "El Barbarosa" feels that although
the quality Is certainly superior abroad, things
are freer and more relaxed here in New York
State. Especially in Colombia, he recalled,
was the government strict - to the point of being abusive - about illegal drug trade and use.
Often people are nabbed off the streets and
thrown in jail, though only suspected of a

Without question, the most widely-used
drug around here (excluding alcohol) is marijuana. According to students and nonstudents who use or sell different drugs, LSD
(acid or just cid), amphetamines (speed or

Everybody has their favorite bar. It could be
the crowds, the music, the plnball games, or
the "atmosphere" that appeals to you, but
although the Rat, Sutter's, Lamp Post,
Bogart's, O'Heaney's, Washington's Tavern
and Frank's Living Room all have their own
style, there's still one common denominator:
alcohol. It's amazing, but all these bars are
thriving on college students. It Is definitely not
an exaggeration to say that alcohol is an Important part o( SUNYA.
One student, who admits she drinks at least
four times a week, says, "beer, wine and liquor are as much a part of college life as going
to classes, doing laundry and cramming for
exams."
"Drinking is a determinant of social status,"
adds her friend. "The more you consume, the
more accepted you are." She pauses and nervously lights up another cigarette. "If it weren't
such a social thing," she says matter of factly,
" I probably wouldn't drink."
Director of Residence John Welly says that
he recognizes that there Is a drinking problem
on campus. "Over the last five years," he says,
Brian Carroll of Middle Earth said that 10
percent of the calls to their counseling center
Is related to drugs or alcohol. He added that
the alcohol problem seems to be greater than
drugs. "People aouse alcohol much more than
pot," he said. "Alcohol is a big problem when
students don't perceive it to be a problem.
They Ignore It, deny It and rationalize It."
The other difference between drugs and
alcohol, he said, is that drugs turn a person Inward rather than outward. "They can get
violent or cause harm to themselves or others.
That's why we get more calls about alcohol,"
he said.
Carroll also said that there is an Increase of
alcohol abuse on campus. He thinks It Is mostly due to stress • both personal and academic.
"Both test anxiety and personal relationship
problems can lead to excessive drinking," he
says. He tells the classic story of the girl whose
boyfriend breaks up .with her.., After many
tears, sulking and dramatics, she heads to the
Rat to drown her sorrows, (only to be carried
home a few hours later by her friends).
ups), tranquilizers sedative-hypnotics (downs
or fades) are the next most popular, depending on individual preferences. Other drugs
are available, but aren't as widely-used for
various reasons. For example, cocaine (coke,
snow or blow),though probably the favorite
among all drug-users, is considered too expensive - usually costing $100 a gram.
(Depending on personal habits, a gram could
be consumed by one to eight people in a matter of minutes.) Also, with cocaine more than
with most other drugs, you can never be really
sure of the quality.
PCP and angel dust enjoyed vast popularity for a while, but the recognition of its immediate dangers and after effects contribute to
its rapid decline in acceptance. According to
Refer Switchboard coordinator Neil Klein,
only one in ten reported experiences with PCP
are enjoyable. Another source specifically
warned to stay away from crystal PCP
especially from prolonged use. Speaking
firsthand, he described not being able to concentrate and feeling very burnt-out.
Due to locale and climate, psilocybin
(mushrooms) and mescaline (puyote) are hard
to come by and when found are usually expensive. These are organic hallucinogens that
grow wild in hot climates. One strain of the
magic mushmom grows out of cow manure in
pastures, It's picked, then either eaten or,
more often, boiled,and the juices are drunk.
Mescaline grows in burtons on the peyote cactus, mainly In Mexico and the southwestern
states. It is carefully picked, then slowly chewed. It is rumored that the taste alone is so vile,
that many never get beyond the first swallow,
But those who do rarely report unsatisfactory
results. In his Don Juan books, Carlos
Castenada describes his experiences with
mescalih, aided by the Indian mystic. Don
Juan, as being more than just a brief trip.
Getting high daily has become a way of life
for many. Partly used to relieve the tensions of
everyday life, both on campus and off, most
drugs (especially pot) are used (or recreation:
for enhancement of ordinarily pleasurable
things; before a concert, movie, party (or
anything). Another reason is that to many, using drugs has simply become a habit; a ritual;
the thing to do when friends stop by. "It's like
going camping!"suggested one off-campus
junior.
In response to the apparent drinking problem, Welty recently instituted a new policy
limiting the use of alcohol In public areas of
university residence halls. The goal of this
policy was control of the "excessive consumption" which appeared to be directly related to
the increases of vandalism on campus. Welly
said that the vandalism which has Increased
over the last couple of years seemed to commonly occur after large parties.
Specifically, the guidelines set limits of 40
ounces of beer, 10 ounces of wine or three
ounces of liquor per person for group parties
held in group lounges.
While he does not believe the drinking
habits of students will be altered, he does hope
lo stop the continued increase. "We're not out
to eliminate drinking," Welty explains, "we
hope to promote responsible consumption.
We also hope to make people think twice
about just how much they are drinking."
Marijuana is, no doubt, readily available. In
one survey conducted by Mademoiselle
magazine (Aug.78) one student commented
that "obtaining pot is easier than finding
change for the laundry". But it's still a lot more
expensive than laundry - with the average
price per ounce hovering around $40. It's
Thursday is a big night at the Rat, he says,
because people want to relax without going
very far. He estimates that 4-500 people are in
and out on a Thursday night. When they do
their inventory for the night, they usually find
that they have gone through 250-400 bottles
of Molson's and about 15 kegs of other beers,
He said it's hard to estimate how much liquor
they go through, but it's clear that vodka is the
number one choice.
"We also sell a lot of pitchers during the
afternoons," he says, "It's a cheap, convenient
and fast way to get a good buzz between
classes."
a u m r t is not alone when it comes to having a drinking problem. Officials at the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism report widespread alcohol abuse
across the nation's campuses. They also point
out a new drinking style. They say, "More kids
are drinking these days, they're doing it more
frequently and more often to the point of
drunkedness."
Response to the drinking problem is coming
from all sectors. A number of states (Maine,
Massachusettes, Michigan) have recently raised their legal drinking age to 20; California
and Pennsylvania raised It to 2 1 , Most of the
northeast (NY, NJ, N H , RI, V T , and CT} is
also considering raising the drinking age in the
next two years. But don't worry • by the time
the legislators get around to doing so, we'll all
be of legal age anyway.

anymore," he says. "There are a lot of unhappy people around here."
"The only answer to the alcohol abuse problem is prevention," says Carroll. "There has
to be a place where people can go so they
don't feel the need to escape through
alcohol."
John Cribbs of Five Quad says that one
quarter to one third of their calls are alcohol
related. "None of the cases are that bad," he
says. "We get very few unconscious or very ill
people."
"Mostly," he explains, "the guy's roommate
panics because he doesn't know what to do.
He sees the guy throwing up all over the
place, and he gets scared. We kind of play
nursemaid and put the guy to bed."
Cribbs says that they get most of their calls
on weekends and during high pressure times
of the year. "For example," he says, "at the
beginning of the semester a lot of freshmen
who are away from home for the first time get
smashed because they never drank much
before,.." He also said that during mid-terms
and finals more people use alcohol to try to
relieve the pressure.

this fact has given rise to growing trend of
"small-time" dealers. (Some estimates are as
high as one per floor per dorm). These people
usually buy anywhere from one quarter to one
pound a week (costs ranging from $350 to
450 per pound, depending on quality). Then
It's bagged into ounces, or smaller fractions.
Often they deal with a limited number of connections (usually friends). A mutuallyagreeable arrangement, they get their pot free,
make some extra money and their friends get

theirs from Long Island or N Y C directly, or via

Tests and studies are continuously being
conducted to determine long term and more
immediate effects of marijuana smoking and
the results are often contradictory. But one
thing remains certain: pot has different effects
on different people.
One woman, a freshman from Westchester

throughout high school, but developed a
strong paranoid reaction. She fell she was
always the object of cruel plots by her friends

Speed is widely-used, especially around exam time. Some college Infirmlries actually
prescribe amphetamines to students for cramming purposes. With speed, you never really
know what you're buying. Black beauties are
the most popular ups and In recent years
bootleg beauiies have begun to appear on the
market in large quantities. One source confided that much of the commercial speed is just
diet pills, or even just caffeine pills! Speed's attractiveness seems to be based on the
"endurance factor," commonly used for
"all-nighters"

Critically It was bombed, commercially it
did well. Well enough for Elton's summer of
1076 tour to sell out seven nights at the
Garden, and similar figures all over the world.
Throughout the shows. Elton, was privately
miserable, publicly the same. He was sick of
his life, sick of performing Ihe same old songs,
sick of critical rejection, sick of being alone in
Ihe world, sick of hiding his bisexualily. sick of
the entire scene he had caught himself up In.
The last night of the Garden stand. August
17, 1976. Elton declared he would never play
live again. He is playing the Paladlum tonight.
So he did cry wolf, but he did so justifiably.
After the tour, he started getting his life
together again. Blue Moves was released, but
the two record set had been recorded before
the tour. It was bombed critically, bombed
commercially, but Ellon didn't seem to care. It
was almost a relief.
Elton was free again and he started doing
things he wanted to do, not things he had to
do. He recorded some songs with Thorn Bell
and Ihe Spinners in early 1977, he played
soccer a lot, he got an unsuccessful hair
transplant, and he receded quickly into the
public's mind as a memory; a former star.
Musically, he wasn't heard from again until
October* 197H, when he released his first
record of new material in two years, A Single
Man. Gone were all musicians from early
years, Gone was producer Gus Dudgeon, and
strangest of all. gone was Bernie Taupin. the
man who was as much a part of Ihe Elton
phenomena as the piano. The album was met
with terrible reviews, terrible sales, and it must
have effected Ellon this time, After Iwo years
away, he was itching for stardom again. He
decided to take those cuts with Ihe Spinners
and release them, hence, "Mama Can't Buy
You Love". He decided to return to the road,
hence, the Russian concerts and the current
American stands. And slranged of all, he
decided to release a pure disco album. Victim
of Love, wherein he simply sings.
Some call Elton pathetic, some have sluck
with him. It Is clear that the rock business has
been good to him In some ways, tragic for him
in others. These days, he has trouble finding
an appropriate audience. His older fans have
moved uii grown up into their late twenties
The pop fans are In college now and rarely

fans? Apparently, there aren't many, and the
new disco album on one hand seems like a

However, the concerts are meeting with surprised success, Elton Is only on piano with

the chance to play before when the audience
demanded only singles. He doesn't play one
song off the new disco set. and tells his audience that a new two record set will be out In
May.
A few years back. Ellon, al this height, said
that he never wanted to be playing the same
old songs once he got into his thirties. He has
been quoted as saying that no one slays on
lop for very long, and he knows1 that. Yet,
F.lton seems to have cried wolf again on both
those statements, and the current tour of old
songs, with the new disco album presents a
paradox of a man who seems to still possess
Ihe problems of not wanting to let go.

It is only the Albany State football team's sixth game,
just barely past the midway point of their season.
It comes against a squad that has lost once, compared
to the Danes unscathed record.
It features a club that is ranked below Albany in the
least, and has been defeated by the Danes two years in a
row.
But it is more than an ordinary sixth game against a
team with one loss and an inferior ranking.
It is Albany vs. Norwich. The absolute defense vs. the
ultimate offense. The playoffs vs. elimination.
What tomorrow's matchup at University Field has
become is a confrontation between the two leading
candidates for an NCAA Division III playoff bid. The
Danes post a 5-0 mark and a number-four ranking in the
Lambert Bowl, a poll which indicates eastern
supremacy. Norwich stands at 6-1 and is the seventhranked team, and behind both the Danes and the Cadel.s
is Ithaca, a squad that has slumped to a 5-2 record and an
eighth place ranking. One of these teams will mosl
probably receive one of the two eastern bids to the
playoffs.
Since few squads with two setbacks ever advance to
post-season play, Ithaca seems destined to remain home
come playoff time, leaving tomorrow's combatants in
Albany to battle for the lone spot.

They boast the most proficient offense (Division III) in
America. They've averaged 39.7 points in winning six of
seven starts while swamping opponents by an average
margin of 32 points.
They are the Norwich Cadets, and are a football team
to be reckoned with.
When Norwich invades University Field tomorrow
afternoon for the 1979 edition of the Albany-Norwich
rivalry, it figures to again be a traditional battle of teams
with opposing strengths.
The Cadets lead the entire nation in three major
offensive categories: rushing yards with 398.3 per game,
total offense — 488.1 yards and scoring with 39.7.
Anxiously awaiting them will be a lightning quick Dane
defensive unit which has been consistent almost to the
point of being boring. They've allowed only 18 points in
five games (three shutouts) to place them second
nationally in that category.
The Norwich season thus far has paralleled Albany's in
some respects. It began with a pair of games against
schools whose football teams are having down years.
The Cadets, like Albany, received outstanding defensive
efforts in winning both, allowing a stingy six points in
each contest.
It is on the offensive side of the ledger that the
similarities begin to end.

"This game is our season," said
.Ibany co-captaln John Veruto. "If
we win, there should be no question
that we go to the playoffs. We're In a
great position. The last two years,
everyone else was determined
where we were going. This year It's
In our hands; we control where
we're going."
"This is certainly a crucial
ballgame, but It Is only one In a
series," added Albany State head
football coach Bob Ford. "If we lose
to Norwich, It would dim our playoff
chances considerably. If we w i n , It
will keep us very much alive. If they
would select the teams this Sunday, I
would say 'yes, this Is the game.' At
this point, It will definitely be an Influence upon who Is selected, but If
we lose to Ithaca next week and Fordham the following week, It won't
matter much what we do against
Norwich."
However, losses by Ihe Danes in
both contests after Norwich is unlikely; thus Albany's playoff ambitions
could go a long way In becoming secure with a victory over the
Cadets. And the Danes will never
have a more opportune time; for the
first time since opening game,
Albany is completely healthy.
The Albany-Norwich matchup has
blossomed into an Intense rivalry
over the past four years. The Danes
lead In the series 3 - 1 , but according
to Ford, "from a spectator viewpoint, they have all been great college football games, with close
scores and hard hitting by both
teams." Albany took the initial encounter 19-12, and then after
leading 20-0 at halftime of the second contest, the Cadets came roaring back and came away with a
24-20 victory. In 1978, the Danes
trailed 14-0 at Ihe half in Vermont,
but this time Albany was the comeback team, winning 19-14.
Following In their tradition, the
1979 Cadets are a superlative often-.ive machine, and their numbers

pure and simple, the finest in Division III football, and no team In the
nation can match the Cadets' 398
lushing yards per game. Bui the
show does not stop there. Their 4K8
total yeards each game Is also tops,
and in the bottom line, scoring, no
other club can do it like the Cadets:
39 points a game, once again,
leading the nation.
This offensive prowess stems Irom
a wishbone attack that only slightly
resembles the Albany wishbone.
"They do not read for the triple OD
tion, and that's what we a l w a y s d o , "
said Albany defensive coordinator
Jack Siedleckl, "Their base play is
the power play olf tackle. Where we
run that play maybe three times in a
game, they will use It 25. They are
power oriented, they don't pitch the
ball too often."
The Cadets have no need for
finesse, their three ballcarriers can
each individually romp through any
defense. As a triumvirate, they have
done just that, and they form a
multi-faceted weapon that has not
been stopped all season.

Despite the flashy numbers, Norwich head coach Barry Mynter was
not satisfied with the early play of his
squad. "We were fortunate to play
teams early on in our schedule that

October 26,1979
by Mike Dunne
It was a year ago at this lime thai
the Albany State soccer team made a
trek to New York City lo lace a
highly regarded St. Francis College
team. Despite outplaying their
opponwit, a late goal cost Albany a
1-0 defeat. Yet they still managed to
earn an NCAA playoff spot.
This year things will be different.
The booters cannot afford the
luxury of a loss, regardless of how
close the score or how well they play
against visiting St. Francis
tomorrow at 3 p.m.
A win is essential to their playoff
hopes. It will not only raise their
prestige among the NCAA selection
committee, bul also keep them away
from a dreaded fourth loss on their
5-3-2 record.
St. Francis is a team thai has been
mired in a severe slump for the pasi
two weeks. Going into an October
13 clash with Oneonta, St. Francis
had sicamrolled to a perfect 7-0
record including an impressive 3-0
win over llariwick. In addition, they
were rated first in New York Stale
and among the lop 10 nationally in
Division I.
A lie with Oneonta began a
mysterious slide which has seen their
log drop lo 7-2-2. The first defeat
was a stunning 2-1 upset by lowly
Fordham, followed by a defeat at
the hands of a strong Adelphi club.
On Wednesday the slide

Harriers Host 13th Annual Albany Invitational
by HaroM Diamond
Albany Slate men's cross
country teams will host the I3lh
annual Albany Invitational meet
tomorrow. This has been a
prestigious event over the years, and
schools from New Jersey,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
and New York will be represented.
This varsity field will be most
challenging for the Albany harriers.
The 14 teams include: Binghumton,
Colgate, Cortland, Keene Stale.

" T h e three favorites are
Massachusetts, Rochester, and
Siena," said Albany co-captain Jack
Kusso. "Yet if our team runs as well
as it did in the SUNYAC, we should
be able to break into the top three
spots. We have to do that lo take a
trophy home."
Siena is favored OVC1 Albany

S U N Y A student John Robinson
faced trial in Albany County Court
Friday for the attempted robbery of
a Home Savings Hank branch office
last winter.
Robinson has been charged with
third degree attempted robbery in a
December 13, I"78 incident lit a
bank branch located at 163 Central
Avenue.
Press Allowed In Court
Capitol Newspapers Group Editor Harry Roscnfckl filed a formal
appeal 01 a court order issued Friday which would have removed the
press from a mistrial of an accused hank robber, according to Times
Union reporter Shirley Armstrong.
Roscnfckl argued that Ihe possible exclusion of Armstrong and
Knickerbocker News reporter F.d M c M a h o n from the mistrial of the
alleged robbery suspect John Robinson would he illegal.
Capitol Newpapers Attorney Peter Dan/igcr confronted Albany
County Judge Joseph Harris, who denied the motion to exclude the
press, said Armstrong.
The motion for a mistrial was introduced by Robinson's attorney
Lou Oliver, as a result of information printed in the Times Union on
Friday by Armstrong,
Apparently, Armstrong was present during a scaled indictment 01
the suspect, but was issued a "gag order" by Harris. Armstrong
explained that she confirmed the name of the robber but was unable to
print it. However, in her article, she stated Robinson as Ihe possible
suspect.
Oliver argued that the article was prejudicial and would influence
the decision of the jurors, said Armstrong. He added whether the
indictment was sealed or not, Ihe information would still be
prejudicial. Oliver said he has no personal knowledge regarding who
was named in ihe indictment.
Harris argued that the Information was printed alter j u r y selection
was made, and thai he had faith in the jury's ability to he rational in its
decision.

Robinson was on parole when
arrested, after serving a seven-year
p r i s o n term f o r t w o
prior
convictions.
Although ihe Robinson case is
now nearly a year old, opening
statements were fust presented in his
trial Friday by defense attorney
lewis B. Oliver and Assistant
Albany County District Attorney
Joseph Donnelly.
"1 will prove Ihe prosecuting
evidence is insufficient and that
there isa reasonable doubt that he is
guilly as charged," said Oliver, who
began his presentation with the
viewing of a filmed account of the
alleged robbery. He claims that Ihe
perpetrator depicted in the film
remains Indistinguishable due lo his
ski cap and scarf.
As p r o s e c u t i n g
attorney,
Donnelly introduced handwriting
and fingerprint experts as witnesses
against Robinson.
Hank teller 1.attic Pinney testified
she received a threatening note
attached to a Manila envelope.
Witness Kent Sopris also testified to
this threat. When questioned by the
prosecution and the defense
attorneys, neither could positively
identify the perperlrator.
No Students on Jury
The trial jury was chosen on
Thursday, alter Oliver charged that
students were restricted f r o m
serving.
" N o student will receive a trial by
his peers in Albany County," he
said.
