Renewed Interest Shown By Students
Slumping Danes Hope Finale Isn't Swan Song
by Paul Schwartz
After two consecutive startling
defeats, the sudden plunge out of
the playoff picture, and still faced
with numerous injuries, the last
thing the Albany State football
team wants is the Springfield
Chiefs. But they are the Danes'
final opponents of the season, and
at Springfield's home field tomorrow, Albany will look to contain
the powerful Chiefs.
Springfield is a perennial Division
II force, and after an orf year in
1978, the Chiefs are back — a 7-2
record this season, and still in contention for an NCAA Division II
playoff bid. Springfield has only an
outside shot at post season play,
and will be looking to make a final
impression against the 6-2 Division
HI Danes.
dropoff after him. Tackle Steve
Foster (6-4, 240), guards Tony
D'Errico (6-3, 230) and Glen Pires
(6-3, 255) and center Mike Duprey
(6-2, 225) add up to an imposing
group. "And it's not just that
they're big, but they're all good,"
said Albany coach Hank Hughes,
who scouted Springfield a week
ago. "The key to their offense is
their great line."
Directing an offense that has
averaged over 27 points per game is
quarterback Jim Col!is"(5-ll, 180),
who has not completed half his
passes during the season, but performed well last week. Collis hit on
12 of 23 of his tosses and amassed
196 yards and three touchdown
passes. While these figures are impressive, they do not indicate the
dominance they represent. With the
79
'
game still in doubt in the first half,
Collis threw for 189 yards against
the New Hampshire defense, and
after owning a big lead, Collis did
not pass often in the second half.
"He's not flashy, but he gets the
job done," Hughes said.
Utilizing a multiple offense that
runs an option, a wing-T, and
almost everything else, the Chiefs
have shown a potent offense
without the services of their top
runner, fullback George Richardson, who has been injured for most
of the season. Dashing through the
huge holes supplied by the offensive
line is tailback Norm England (6-3,
218), who blitzed New Hampshire
for 159 yards on 31 carries, and he
scored two touchdowns as well.
Collis' premier targets are tight
end John Cherry (6-4, 210) and
wide receiver Kevin Kcnyon. Last
week Cherry caught three passes for
73 yards, and Kcnyon garnered four
receptions for 72 yards.
On defense, Springfield again has
superior size on their line, with two
defensive tackles who both weigh in
at 240 pounds. Mark Harriman
220) Is the Chiefs' best linebacker,
but their most outstanding defensive performer is monster back Jack
Quinn (6-1, 205), who was a firstteam Division II selection as a
junior a year ago, and is regarded as
a professional prospect by some
observers.
"They are an excellent football
team," said Albany State head
football coach Bob Ford. "I just
hope we will rise to the occasion
tomorrow. We are the decided
underdog."
In building their line mark, the
Chiefs have stumbled just twice,
and both times, barely. Against
Ithaca, a Division III playoff team,
Springfield was beaten 21-14, and
the other setback occurred facing a
strong American International
squad, 34-21. Last week, the Chiefs
displayed their might, racing to a

Hampshire, a strong Division IAA

for a touchdown, and he often

Indicative of the Springfield club
is their punter, Tony Green, who at
6-4, 270 lbs., can put unmatched
amounts of force behind his boots.
"I saw him kick four 70 yard punts
in practice last week," said Hughes,
who played for Springfield last
year. "I've never seen anyone kick
the ball higher than he does."
Tomorrow's game will be played
on "super turf", an artificial turf
that was installed last year. The last
time the Danes played on artificial
turf was two years ago, when
Albany traveled to Springfield in
1977.
"It usually helps us," Ford said.
"We have never lost on artificial
turf, and for the wishbone, it
should be ideal."
For the third week in a row, the
Danes will enter a ballgame plagued
with injuries. Defensive tackle Steve
Shoen played last week with a
severaly strained ankle, but is
doubtful for Springfield. Comerback Jerry Wierzbicki's ankle injury will sideline him, reserve cornerback Ed Ragulc is out with a
pulled hamstring, and reserve tight
end Jimmy Johnson, who suffered
a broken nose against Fordham last
'week, will not see action. In addition, quarterback Terry Walsh reinjured his lender upper leg bruise,
and as of Wednesday, was not practicing in pads.
"I don't know how we arc going
to hide our injuries this week," said
Ford, whose Albany teams havenever lost three games in succession. Facing Springfield, the Danes
will be hard-pressed to keep that
claim.

After a two week suspension of
publication, The Press, SUC Cortland's student newspaper is
"enthusiastically back on its feet, "
said Press Editor-in Chief Jamie
Faricellia.
During the suspension period, extending from October 22 to
November 8, the newspaper staff
launched a campaign to increase
student interest in The Press.
Approximately 50 students attended workshops to learn staff
responsibilities and design and
layout techniques, in addition' to
learning writing skills.
As a result of its newly
formulated staff The Press came
back into view on November 9.
The newspaper originally ceased
publication due to an overburdened
production staff, according to an
October 19 Press editorial. Apparently, Ihe editor-in-chief, the
managing editor, and the business
manager assumed too much responsibility.
"The Press wasn't representing
Ihe students. The paper was put out
V&W
by only a handful of people who
couldn't possibly represent the entire student body." said Faricellia.
In addition, the staff cited a lack
of cooperation from the college's
Journalism Department.
In the past, said Faricellia, The
Press was not supported by the
department. Newly appointed Journalism Committee Chair Fobert
Kochersberger has improved
SUC Cortland students meet lu reorganize their school newspaper.
Turnout was the best in The Press' history,-
might be an answer to the problem

White concluded that the
strongest events are Ihe free and
breaststrokes, and that Ihe middle
distance and freestyle races are
superior lo the long distance races.
"The event I'm looking lo improve
Ihis year," said White, "is the
backstroke."
As far as diving goes, White is extremely pleased with and excited
about the squad of divers. According lo While, "Diving has more
depth than we've ever had before.
I'm impressed with the new coach
(Bruce Sickles) and the enthusiasm
of the divers."
The top diver for the Danes is
junior Bill Derkasch. In his third
year on the team, White calls him
"Albany's most dependable diver
in the history of our sport. He's a
most dedicated, hard-working individual." While is also pleased
with junior Tom Ballou and
freshman Jeff Goldberg.
The leader on the team, says
White, is Roberts. "He's got many
outstanding leadership qualities.
He's quite capable," according to
White.

Rundgren Concert Flop
Costs UCB Thousands
Failure to "sell-out" for the Todd Rundgren concert has brought
an estimated $10,000 loss to SUNYA's University Concert Board
(UCB), according to UCB Chair Evan Gold.
The Thursday night performance, budgeted for a loss of $4,000,
only brought in 1500 spectators", 1000 people less than expected.
"I don't think Todd Rundgren was a mistake," said Gold. "Last
year, the show would have been a sellout."
Goid attributed the poor turnout to the current recession which is
forcing concert-goers to be "more selective."
"In the past, people went to all the concerts, no matter who it
was," said Gold. He added a general lack of money will cause people
to pass up a concert "by someone not that well known," although
Ihey may have attended it in the past.
The loss has not cancelled future performances, but, explained
Gold, UCB "will go for something thai will sell. People can't go for
artists who were big once and arc on the road now."
He added that next semester UCB will bring concerts with currently popular bands that have a good basis in album sales. However, up
and coming bands, which usually play colleges, will be hurt by this
policy. "We have lo go commercial," explained Gold.
UCB members cited the lack of a large concert facility as one
reason for poor turnouts al performances. Schools with a field house
or stadium often guarantee a sellout.
SA Controller Craig Wcinslock said UCB's loss is not unusual and
that its $105,000 budgel is a subsidy lo the costs.
In 1976, UCB faced an $18,000 loss when vocalist Al Stewart
formed in SUNYA.

In addition, the Corporation has
ordered all centers, wherever
located, not to report test scores to
any New York State Institute after
December 15.
A Corporation spokesman said,
"Although it is our wish to continue to make our tests available in
New York, we cannot do so because
of the prohibitive costs of developing a new form each time a test is

HARTFORD (AP) - Calling the Iranians holding U.S.

economic sanctions against the Iranians. "There is also
something called food. I can't see why we don't cut off
shipments of food," he said. Buckley expressed obvious
anger at the Iranian situation, blaming it on a weakened

prayers of thanksgiving and, to the accompaniment of a

Indian Point Security Assailed
NEW YORK (AP) Two operators of the Indian Point
nuclear plants have been criticized by federal regulators for
not noticing "lack of management" by the site's contract
security force befofe it was exposed in the press. Consolidated Edison and the Power Authority of the State of
New York (PASNY), which operates the plants, announced
over the weekend that they were firing the Gleason Security
Service of Hartsdale for improper record keeping. The announcement came one month after a five-part Associated
Press series revealed allegations of lax security, improper
and illegal record keeping and vulnerability to terrorist attack at the plants in Buchanan, 24 miles north of New York
. City. Jim Devlin, chief of security investigations lor the
i U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Region I, said that
although internal audits by Con Ed and PASNY determined that Gleason had to go, the operators should have
discovered and acted on the severe management deficiencies before the charges were aired in the press. "They
should have noticed this stuff," he said. "They have a corporate staff up there. If they're on the job, the) should see
that things aren't properly supervised." Devlin said a major factor leading to the decision to fire Gleason was the
confirmation of an allegation in the AP series that guards
attending a "Crowd Control" training class had viewed an
X-ratcd movie. Such classes are held on plant grounds.
Contract Conflicts Spark
Trailways Bus Strike
Union failure to request a contract extension has prompted
employees of the Pine Hills Trailways bus line to go on strike, according to Pine Hills Trailways President Cynthia Bcrardi.
Twelve employees of the Kingston, New York bus line have been
striking since November 6 as a result of the United Transit Union's
failure to ask for an extension of the lines' contract.
The Adirondack Bus Company has been crossing picket lines daily
to provide transportation.
According to Uerardi, negotiations between the union and the bus
line began October 2 but ended on November 6. Two meetings regarding possible extensions have since been held.
Although Herardi declined lo comment on the extensions, she added that she had "no idea" why the employees, 10 bus drivers and two
maintenance men, are striking.
The Adirondack line will continue to service New York City,
Westchester, Long Island, and areas in the north until settlements
are reached.
"The Pine Hills Trailways has been providing service from
Kingston lo Ulica, New York since the I92()'s," said Uerardi.
She added that both Pine Hills and Adirondack Trailways are
members of the National Trailways.

While most students reside in
their college communities for approximately four years, "politicians
have not been responsive to the
students," said SASU organizational director Bruce Cronin.
"Most students at college really
aren't residents of their parents'
community anymore," he added.
He pointed out that many college
students pay local sales, gas, and
resident income taxes.
Cronin said students are con-
' sidered members of their college
communities, according to the
United States population census.
"While students are affected by
all local laws they are denied the
right to vote for those enacting
those laws," he said.
If students were granted voting
status in college communities,
politicians would be forced to be
more responsive to their needs, said
Cronin.
"In places like Geneseo,
Potsdam, and Oswego the students
would have a major impact on elections. The introduction of 7,000
new eligible voters can swing any
election," he added.
Off-Campus Association Coordinator John Kennedy cited-off-
campus students' involvement with
political issues, such as the antigrouper law and the enforcement of
housing codes, as a reason to grant
students voting rights.
"The off-campus student
population represents close to ten
pe-cent of Albany's eligible voters.
That has to be taken seriously and
can't be ignored," said Kennedy.
As a result of voter registration
restrictions, students are ineligible
for jury duty selection.
"We challenged the jury panel on
the recent People vs. John Richard
Robinson case because we thought
he would be able to get a fairer trial
if students were represented on the
jury panel," said Lester.

Theatre Group Upset Over Funds
by Laura Fiorentino
Citing lack of available resources
for
its productions, SUNYA's
Director's Theatre '79 has submitted a list of grievances to Theater
Department faculty, according to
Student Director Suzanne Snyder.
Grievances include the group's
inability to utilize department
props, such as furniture, costume
wardrobes, and lighting facilities in
addition to receiving limited
publicity funds.
Although the problems were
eliminated soon after the presentation of major productions, Directors' Theatre members hope the list
will prevent them from recurring in
the future.
Director's Theatre, a graduate
conducting class, is composed of 10
students who direct their own plays
and present them in the University
and Albany communities.
The program is an effort to provide the community with a service
while affording the student director
an off-Broadway-type experience,
according to Performing Arts
Center (PAC) Director and former
Director's Theatre Director Al
Ascrmely.
Snyder said the play Family

Parents Push For Laetrile Rights
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) They lost the battle to save their
3-year-old son from leukemia, but Chad Green's parents
say they will continue their fight for the use of Laetrile in
cancer treatment - a fight that forced them lo flee the country seeking help for their son. "We want lo share what
we've learned, we want to help others and we want n light
for individual freedom, the freedom of choice,"Gerald
Green said in a recent interview. Green, 29, and his 26-yearold wife, Diana, have joined the lecture circuit to "share
our story" and hope to win for other cancer patients the
freedom of choice in cancer therapy. It was their belief in
Laetrile and diet that led the Greens to discontinue conventional chemotherapy for their son. They lace a contempt of

Affirmative Action Backs Gays
by Sue Mllligun
Affirmative Action recently
voted to support a request from
SUNYA's Gay and Lesbian
Alliance for anti-discrimination.
The decision to vote was made
following an Affirmative Action
panel discussion on gay rights.
The Alliance has submitted a formal request to SUNYA President
O'Leary asking for an extension of
the University's anti-discrimination
policy to include gays and lesbians.
"The panel discussion was called
to explain why we need protcction"said SUNYA Gay and Lesbian
Alliance President J. Scott Robinson. "We're not asking for

protection and access to a grievance
procedure, if necessary,"he said.
SUNYA's current policy prohibits discrimination on the basis of
sex, color, creed, marital status,
disablity, and age, but does not provide for sexual or affcctional
preferences. Gays and lesbians arc
not protected under state or federal
laws.
Vice-President for University Affairs Lewis Welch has received the
request for the policy change in addition to the Affirmative Action
recommendation. After Welch
reviews the proposal, he will present
it lo O'Leary.
Affirmative Action Associate
Gloria DcSolc has written a letter to
SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton, urging a policy change at
SUNY schools with gays and lesbians protection rights.
"The individual schools' reactions to DeSolc's letter will indicate
supporl or non-support of Affirmative Action." said Affirmative
Action Assistant Vice-Chancellor
Delorcs Schmidt. "However, Affirmative Action docs not decide
policy; this is made by the
Chancellor. The policy of Affirmative Action is to enforce stale or
federal anti-discrimination laws.
Support of the request is actually a
departure from this policy."

Why has State's biggest white elephant become a dark

Why not sell Dippikill? With the northway going
through the land ten miles from Dippikill, we shouldn't
have to take too big a loss.
What to do with $40,000 or more? Surplus is easily
spent as we all realize. (Going home for Thanksgiving or
money?) There must be some area up near Thacher Park,
within an hours traveling distance of school where we can
buy a camp site. This could be used by more students and
would be within traveling distance for the almighty Greeks,
sororities and fraternities being the main interest of most
individuals.
You can all laugh but why not give SUB more money
for dancers. More students derive enjoyment from them
than the number of students enjoying Dippikill.
Somewhere I picked up the rumor the Dippikill had
become the hangout of a select few and outsiders weren't
welcome. Nice! Let's invest more of our money for someone else's pleasure. The principle—it is better to give than
to receive—can be carried too far!

Abortion: Pro-Choice
by Kathy Thompson
The pro-choice position is not proabortion. We recognize that having an abortion is not a pleasant experience. It is uncomfortable, expensive and sometimes painful.
The anti-choice would have us believe that
abortion is something millions of women do
for fun on a sunny Saturday afternoon
whenever we get our hands on two-hundred
dollars.
Ms. Burke's support of "The Right to
Life" muddles the issue of "free choice"
when she suggests that groups and persons
who support legal abortion should be the sole
flinders of abortions. She claims that
Medicaid funding of abortions actually
restricts free choice by requiring "that all taxpayers participate in abortions by paying for
them." Apparently, "free choice" for the
ami-choice boils dbwn to allowing the taxpayer to choose freely which taxes to pay.
What Ms. Burke fails to realize is that the
issue is not the legality of abortion — that has
.ilrcady been established as a right for all
women. Medicaid funding reminds us of the
problem of social inequality. This inequality
limits the options for people who can't buy
their rights. Medicaid exists to ensure that
poor people have the same rights to health
guaranteed to those who can afford them.
The anti-choice must be clear on what it is
objecting to — abortion or public health services. While abolishing Medicaid funding for
abortion may give the anti-choice satisfaction
that taxpayers have "free choice," it certainly limits the choices of poor women in
desperate straits.
Ms. Burke also makes the statement that
"abortion ends the lives of those already living, since the child inside the womb Is alive.
(This is not opinion, it is scientific fact.)" It
seems that her argument is not that the fetus
is alive (Ms. Burke underestimates our intelligence), but that the fetus is a child. The
argument over the status of the fetus has
been a heated but inconclusive one. The
Supreme Court wrote in its 1973 decision to
legalize abortion that "those trained in the
respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy
and theology are unable to arrive at any concensus . . . " and that " . . . the judiciary, at
this point in the development of man's
knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as

one's person) have control over our bodies.
We come now to Ms. Burke's next objection. She states that women cannot have control over our own bodies because other
bodies are involved. She argues that the fetus
"is not part of the mother's body; from the
moment of conception it is a separate individual with its own unique genetic structure." If the fetus is dependent on the mother
for survival, if it cannot exist outside of the
womb, then it is a part of the mother's body
and is not capable of separation. The fetus is
a potential human being. If the anti-choice is

they must object to birth control which certainly can be seen as an unnatural intervention of procreation.
That the fetus is not considered a separate
child by law and society but is seen instead as
a potential human being is clear. Our constitutional rights apply only postnally. Also,
why don't we 'have funerals for miscarried
fetuses? How about health insurance for
fetuses?
Since the right to have an abortion is

been steeped in anti-choice propaganda.

The Politics of Humor
To Ihe Editor:
I have been prompted to write in response
to the recent ridiculous theatrics displayed by
Central Council in eliminating funding for
that very funny humor magazine, But
Seriously Folks.
Who the hell does Mr. Castro-Blanco
think he is? "Wc arc not going to support
this type of idiocy" he is quoted. Our student
dollars support Ihe idiocy that he participates
in — Central Council. Surely, there are many
better ways to spend our hard-earned dollars!
Has Mr. Castro-Blanco written to the
editor of "National Lampoon", telling them
to shut down publication? Certainly much of
what they print may be thought of as tasteless
and offensive (I need not remind Mr. CastroBlanco of the readership the magazine enjoys.) Or has he urged NBC to drop
"Saturday Night Live" from its programming? You can't get much more tasteless and
offensive than some of the skits on that
show.
But Seriously Folks, though not perfect,
certainly fills an important void in the lives of
SUNYA students. So much of life is hard
work, disappointment, and pressure, thai we
need an outlet to turn to and let go once in a
while. To me, the very funny first issue of
But Seriously Folks was just that.
. Mr T Castro-Blanco was obviously
overlooking all of this when he fought to
eliminate funding for But Seriously Folks.
Perhaps Mr. Castro-Blanco has his own
political ambitions at heart rather than the interests of the students he purportedly serves.

Humanities
Advisement
To Ihe Editor:
A week or so ago (Nov. 7) the ASP ran an
article on the "budding success" of the new
Humanities and Fine Arts Advisement
Center (HFAAC). Those of us who have
been involved in getting the Center underway
were, of course, gratified to have attention
drawn to the fact that a growing number of
students — particularly freshmen and
sophomores — have been coming in to talk
with us about their course planning and
career preparation questions and problems..
The Center was established, through Ihe initiative of Helen Desfosses, Assistant Vice
President for Academic Affairs, and John
Schumaker, Dean of the College of
Humanities and Fine Arts, in response lo
widespread lament by students that faculty
were just not adequately available to talk
with about educational planning problems.
Since anxieties about getting an education
that will open up job opportunities are running especially high at this time, the Center
seemed an idea whose time had come.
However, I, as Director, was dismayed by
two serious misrepresentations in the ASP article.
In response to the interviewer's question as
to what were the advantages of having/acw/ty advisors available to freshmen and
sophomores prior to declaration of a major
in addition lo CUE advisors, I noted thai it
was felt that faculty would be able to draw on
years of experience ill fields the students were
considering, or just beginning to work in,
and thus should be able to provide helpful
perspectives and guidelines. In the article this
point was given a very questionable twist by
my being quoted as saying the faculty advisors "have more practical experience".
This is very misleading and in important ways
false in its connotation, for in regard to the
often very complex details of academic program advisement, it is usually the CUE Advisor who "has more practical experience".
The full-time CUE staff have usually had
years of practical experience in student advising and will often be your best resource for
in-depth answers to many kinds of questions.
And the graduate-student CUE advisors arc
both closer lo the undergraduate student experience and, usually, more systematically
trained for detailed program advisement than
is the case with faculty advisors at the Center.
The counselling opportunities you have at
HFAAC arc supplemental to CUE; you
should make use of both.
What Jimmy Should Do
To Ihe Editor:
The current malaise in Ihe White House is
totally and unequivocally reprehensible. Jimmy Carter in a display or inept, inert, and incompetent leadership has allowed Ihe United
States' Embassy in Tehran, Iran, lo be overrun by Iranian students. Sixty American
hostages have been taken in an indefensible
attempt of the religious nut Ayatollah Khomeini to blackmail the most powerful nation
in the world into handing over the Shah.
President Jimmy Carter's feeble answer to
this attack on American credibility has been
lackadaisical at best. Although he refused to
hand over Ihe ailing Shah, he gave tacit approval to the PLO, a terrorist organization
that hasn't even been officially recognized, lo
negotiate for the United Stales. He then cut
off oil imports from Iran in an action thai is
sure to prove to be more detrimental lo the
citizens of the U.S. than those of Iran. Fuel
prices are certain to spiral in face of the impending shortage. Carter's only other action
has been to recently freeze Iranian assets in
the United Stales. All of these actions have
done absolutely nothing lo address the real
problem of protecting American lives
abroad.
Jimmy Carter, a neophyle world leader,
should not permit a nation of 220 million
people, with the most powerful military in
the world, lo be manipulated like a puppet by
a bunch of religiously fanatic guerrillas. Jimmy Carter should make il perfectly clear to_
Khomeini that if one American is harmed,
Ihe United Stales will send in the Marines and
My second bone to pick with the ASP article is the gross unfairness of reporting one
student appraisal of the value of advisement
received at the Center. That one student
found HFAAC and CUE advisement equally
"impersonal" and "unhelpful", So many
students have expressed their gratitude for
what wc have been able to do for them, and
so many have expressed the same kinds of
feelings about their CUE advisement, that we
are confident that the one person interviewed
svas not speaking for any significant number
of students. What is shocking is that the
ridiculousness of reporting one interview on
an issue such as this was not overwhelmingly
obvious to both the writer of the article and
whoever else was responsible for reading it
before publication. Perhaps the guilty parlies
should make every effort lo gift into Prof.
Rowley's "Journalism and Ethics" course
coming up next spring and in the meantime
be especially wary not to further defame an
honorable profession.

60 Iranian Ostriches
W h a t ' s all this fuss about sixty ostriches being held in Iran? I understand that
ostriches are an endangered species, but are they worth the risk of a third World
War? I think not. I find it impossible to believe that President Carter was willing to
cut off our oil imports from Iran for the sake of these fowl-smelling birds. What
good are they? Why, I understand that they can't even fly. What am I going to do
this winter without oil? Burn a bird? I think not. I think President Carter should
stick his head in the ground like those stupid birds d o .
It seems to me that the whole solution to this problem would be to send Robert
Shaw back to Iran like they are demanding. After all, what do we want with this
third rate actor anyway? He's so stupid that he let the shark kill him in Jaws. I say
send back Shaw and get back our ostriches or just let them keep the birds. He's dead
anyway. After all, they are willing to release the female birds and that means that we.
can mate Ihem with our male birds, and then Ihe whole thing would be mute.
True Intestines
Another subject that I would like to discuss is this new True-Intestines Law that
was recently passed in New York State. This is ridiculous! Who's business is it what
1 eat? When I think that anyone will be able to demand the contents of my intestines
il just makes me sick! Under this law il would be possible for a newspaper to publish
the contents of YOUR intestines. Can you imagine that?
I am against this disgusting law because what's in a person's intestines should remain a private matter.
One for the Bird
Did you know that Ben Franklin wanted the lurkey to be the national symbol instead of the eagle? That would have meant eating eagle dinner this Thursday night.
Do you know what eagle tastes like? The proposition was soundly defeated because
of the difficulty of obtaining large quantities of twenty-two pound eagles. A sister
proposition attempted to bring in horse radish as the national sauce, at which point
Alexander Hamilton walked out with the whole New York convention.
Be that as it may, two hundred years havepassed, and the tradition remains that
turkey rules the table, eagles rule the sky (if wc haven't shot them all), and cranberry
sauce is the side kick.
Wherever you're going to, have a relaxing Thanksgiving, eat to the beat, party
hearty, and drive carefully going. The ASP will sec you again next Friday, when we
will almost be upon the last month of this fair decade. More about that later,
though.

Ferragamo, making his first National Football League start, threw
for two touchdowns and set up
another as the Los Angeles Rams
downed the Atlanta Falcons 20-14
Monday night.
The victory moved Los Angeles
into a tie with the New Orleans
Saints for the NFC West lead with
6-6 records. Atlanta dropped to 4-8.
Ferragamo, a third-year pro out
of Nebraska, staked Los Angeles to
a 14-0 halftimc lead, connecting
with Preston Dennard on a 29-yard
scoring pass early in the first
quarter, then hitting Billy Waddy
with a 40-yard touclidown play in
the waning moments of theppenlng
hair.
Fullback Cullen Bryant tallied Ihe
other Los Angels touchdown, sprinting 11 yards for the score midway
through the final period. Los
Angeles' 48-yard drive for that TD
was keyed by an 18-yard pass from
Ferragamo to tight end Terry
Nelson.
The Rams' defense, which had
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
been particularly effective against
Atlanta's passing game, had to hold'
off a late charge directed by
Falcon's quarterback June Jones
III.
Jones put the Falcons on the
board with a 15-yard scoring pass to
Wallace Francis late in the third
period, then marched his team to
another score with 4:11 remaining
in the contest- this touchdown coming on a 32-yard pass play to Fran?
els.
A 6-foot-3, 207-poundcr out of
Nebraska, Ferragamo was starting
in the place of Pat Hadcn, out for
the rest of the season with a broken
finger. Ferragamo finished the
game with nine completions in 22
attempts for 171 yards and suffered
one Interception. He had been out
of action for a month, nursing a
broken hand he suffered in a game
against the Dallas Cowboys.
Running back Wendell Tyler led
the Rams' rushing attack with 21
carries for 111 yards. But he fumbled twice to squander Rams scoring
opportunities.
Tyler had fumbled away one
Rams scoring chance on the first
play of the second quarter when he
lost the ball at the Atlanta 1 and it
rolled out of the end zone for a
touchback. In the third period, The
Rams were knocking on the door
again but Tyler lost the ball and
Mike Zele recovered for the Falcons
at their 20.
The Rams victory overshadowed
a fine performance by the Falcons'
Bubba Bean, who gained 104 yards
on 17 carries and caught two passes
foi f yards.
Jones, replacing regular quarterback Steve Bartkowski, who is out
with an injured hip, completed 11
out of 24 passes for 181 yards but
was intercepted twice.
Atlanta got the ball back one
more time after moving within six
points of the Rams in the final
quarter. Atlanta held the Rams and
forced a punt, but any chance the
Falcons had to pull out the victory
cvaporuted when Jones fumbled
and Mike Fanning recovered for
Los Angeles at the Atlanta 23.

The Studio Theater is small but director
.John Milllgan makes good use of offstage
space to the left and right, At one point several
of the actors gather on one side to create the
impression of a crowd straining against police
barriers at a movie premiere. Later we see a
radio broadcast being done concurrently with
action taking place onstage — Benson and
Friday are listening to the broadcast In Friday's
office. We also see a Hedda Hopper type
character — ostrich fealher stole and all — giving a gossipy broadcast from the wings. The
device works very well, not only because the
actors can perform two actions at once, but
because this double bombardment augments
the pleasantly frenetic feeling Imparled to the
audience,
The costumes have a wonderful look of
richness that gives us the feeling that
Hollywood was probably the only place In
those days where luxury was abundant. The

The Starship: Not Too Slick
Wish You Were Here is a great album.
Hearing II and wailing for the Starship to come
out on Sunday just didn't go together,' and
besides that, the opening act had just about
erupted my aurals with filth and garbage spewing out under the name Live Wire. The album
was calming me d o w n , relaxing me, not the
type of album you'd like to have shut off suddenly for a group like the new Jefferson Starship.Pink Floyd on album Istpogood an open'ng act for the live, new Jefferson Starship.

r even drummer John Barbata, whom they
ouldn't wait for to heal up from his car acclent. The one that has Mickey Thomas on
.vocals, from Elvin Bishop's band, because he
had a high enough voice to sound a little like
Slick, a lot like Balln. And Aynsley Dunbar, a
|5(esslon and tour drummer who's been with
Bowie, Zappa and enough other respectables
to know better than to join a crash landed
band who are pathetically trying to take off
without any wings. Such Is the new Jefferson
Starship. And you know what? They may not
be any worse than the old Jefferson Starship,
but the current tour only emphasizes that, proving that their real talent had only relied on the
eccentric personalities of their two former
stars; the mediocre but sometimes great
singers, Slick and Balln.
As in the old tours, the band opened with
"Ride the Tiger," from the first of the last Starshjp albums Dragonfly. If I had kept my eyes
closed, I might not have known that Grade
wasn't there, since she never gave her all
unless she was singing lead anyway. After the
first song, though, I knew. Their new album Is
called Freedom at Point 0 - as If Paul Kantner Is saying that he Is starting again, free from
the confines of the old group — auu iney did
Just about the whole thing. The album Is not
'too good, or maybe they Just didn't perform it
well because of nervousness, or lack of confidence, or both, or all four. I may not have
gone crazy over Earth, but I just cannot
stomach another Foreigner running around,
using the name Jefferson Starship, and then
trying to get Into souped-up, hyped-up bullshit
versions of "Wooden Ships," "Somebody to

Rory Gallagher - the name is really familiar,

about the Irish musician, O n Friday night,

In the smoke-filled hazy room, many semlburnt out types were milling around waiting for
their hero to appear. Jokln' and tokln', the audience waited expectantly for the heavy driving, bluesy musician to begin his high energy
assault on their eardrums. Finally, a lighting
person moved a lever, and J.B.'s dimmed. A
brief, excited hush suffused over the audience.
The tense silence was broken by a few lone
shouts of "Rory, Rory," then the chanting
gradually increased Into an uproarious
cacophony punctui'
lapping and stomping of leot. When the frenzy was at a climax,

a long-haired, checkered-shlrted man burst on
stage lashing out his high-voltage power
chords at the audience. Rory had arrived!
The three-man band broke Into "Last of the
Independent," a song very typical of Rory's
hard-rock, blues based jamming. Evident in all
his songs is Rory's command of the band. His
prominent guitar playing dominated the other
musicians, one of the reasons for the break up
of Taste, an earlier band. Listening to "Moon
Child" and "Tattooed Lady," one was Impressed by the great similarity between the
songs. Each tune began with Rory hitting a
few power chords, Gerry McAvoy following
up on a prominent bass, and Ted McKenna
banging out a series of sharp staccato notes on
the drums. Rory's solos were brief and did not
display much Innovative talent. Comparable
to Aerosmllh guitarist Joe Perry, Rory displays
a style which relies on a loud energetic sound,
not fluent, vlrluosic playing.
Members of ilk. band did ot exhibit their
talent until the performance of the band's standard first encore, "Bullfrog Blues." Unfortunately, the other musicians were not
noticeably better musically than their leader.
Gerry McAvoy's bass solo was comprised of
relatively few notes played with little variation.
On the drums, McKenna also tapped out a
few dull, routine sequences. After the "Blues,"
the band broke Into an updated version of
" L o u i e , L o u i e . " Their

The play was written in the 1930s by a '

happens also to be a light satire on Hollywood
nonsense of that era. We see that men and

public taste, but we are never asked to consider that Injustice seriously. The play was first
produced during the Depression and its power

team of their magnitude — you just
can't do that. I would say based
upon our defensive performance,
the score should have been 17-0, not
31-0."
The convincing setback was the
conclusion of a drastic turnaround
in the Albany season. After toying
with their first five weak opponents, the Danes were matched
with Norwich in the first tough
game, and Albany came up with a
comeback 28-25 victory, and as a
result soared in Division III polls.
But physically beaten and emotionally drained, the Danes had
nothing left when they faced Ithaca
the following week, and Ithaca gave
the Danes everything, a 46-6
beating and a swift boot out of the
playoff picture. Then Albany continued their downward swing, losing a 21 point lead and a ballgame
to Fordham, and finally, were
shutout for the first time in four
years by Springfield.
" I never want to get in the situation where we go 6-3 and we start
screaming and kicking in lockers,"
said Ford. "Mike Motta (offensive
coordinator) and Jack Sicdlecki
(defensive coordinator) and I got
together after the Springfield game,
and we asked ourselves, 'Did we get
the most out of the talent we had?'
We all agreed that unless we were
totally healthy, we couldn't have
beaten Ithaca or Springfield. If we
had done a better job of recruiting,
maybe we could have beaten them.
Those two games highlighted our
weaknesses. To be successful, we
must intensify our recruiting effort.
We must have better personnel at
our second-string spots.
"I guess I'm disappointed, but if
you take our three losses and
dispersed them, it wouldn't have
looked as bad. This way, it looks as
if the whole program collapsed. But
if we played Springfield the second
week of the season, we probably
would have also lost. The way our
schedule fell, we had five easy
teams first, and then we had, by
far, four tougher teams. We had to
stay healthy, and we didn't. In the
state we were in, Ithaca and Springfield were just plain better football teams than we were. Fordham
is where 1 have regrets. That game
came at a bad time. I think we got
the most of our talent, but I'm still
disappointed. I'm not happy, and
I'll never be happy until we win the
national championship."

Coast Guard Cops Relays; Albany Swimmers Last
by Jeff Schadoff
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Last Saturday, the Albany State
men swimming team hosted the
10th Annual Great Dane Relays,
and there were few exciting or surprising Dane results to speak of, for
the meet was dominated by the
Coast Cuard Academy for the seond year in a row.
Last year, the Cadets of Coast
uard pulled out a less convincing
ictory over the field of seven fourear schools with a winning margin
f eight over second place McGill,
-52. Albany fared fourth last year
iih a score of 35.
This year's relays were a different
tory. There were "some key inuries and some disappointments
ready this season. This definitely
a key factor," according to
Ibany head swimming coach Ron
hite. "We didn't have our complete team. In the future we need

college results as follows: McGill

Remarking on his team's last
place finish, White felt that "the
two disqualifications in the 300 yard
breast stroke relay and the 200 yard
freestyle relay put us out of fifth
place."
In the two-year college division,
Morrisville C.C. came out on top
with a point-score of 54, followed
by Orange C.C. with 32, Farmingdalc 25, and rounding out the
field was Cobleskill with 18 points.

"The 400 medley and 400 freestyle
are approaching good enough times
to gd to the nationals," commented
Albany swimmer Steve Bonawitz.
The next event was the 300 yard
breast stroke relay, in which Vermont took high honors with a
3:17.7, just 1.1 seconds over the
Relay record. Morrisville took the
two-year school heat with a 3:42.5.
The third event was the squeaker
with McGill coming out on top. in
the 300 yard butterfly relay with a

record crushed their own record set

time, RPI won the event in recordbreaking fashion with a time of
2:55.6, more than two seconds

ing out McGill 1:33.9 to 1:34.9.
The last event, the 400 yard
medley relay, composed of Steve
Bonawitz, Frank Meter, Kevin
Ahern and Dave Zybala for
Albany, was the only race that
merited an outstanding .Relay performance. Dane co-captain Tom
Roberts felt, "They all had fantastic splits on the 400 medley."
Consequently, the Danes were edged out at the finish. "They just
out swam us on the last lap," commented Heter.
Finishing the last event, the
Danes needed a first place to
salvage a fifth place finish and stay
out of the cellar. The Danes came
just three-tenths of a second shy of
Coast Guard's 3:51.5, with a
3:51.8.
White felt that "the guys who
scored high are competitive.
Overall, I'm satisfied. The Relays
that were loaded (400 yd. medley
and 400 yd. freestyle) and our
depth, came through for u s . "
After the meet, Heter reflected
on the finished meet and the upcoming ones: "We'll definitely
come on. In the Relays, we only had
a nucleus. We had to load up most
times, four swimmers in one event.
In a dual meet this "nucleus" is
spread out throughout the events in
the meet and gives us a better opportunity to display individual
talent."
Next swim meet for the Danes is a
trip to McGill in Montreal for the
McGill Relays November 30. The
Danes did not place too well last
year at McGill but Ahern stated
that "we're looking forward to
good times in our relays this time."

Weary Danes Close Out By Being Shut Out, 31 -0
by Paul Schwartz
SPRINGFIELD — On a crystal
clear Fall afternoon, on a carpetlike artificial surface, the Danes'
football season came to an end, but
it was not a pretty picture. Albany
battled with the Chiefs for one half,
but a jperior Springfield squad
then flexed their muscles, and broke
open a 3-0 halftime lead into a 31-0
victory over the weary Danes on
Saturday.
For the first time in their football
history, the drubbing left Albany
with three1 consecutive losses, and
dropped their final record to 6-3.
For Springfield, the contests marked the conclusion of a banner campaign. The Chiefs' 8-2 mark was
iheir finest since 1965, and the Division II club also established new
learn season rushing and total yardage records, both of which were
set in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game.
began to dominate behind their
huge offensive line, and used the
final half to score 28 points, 21 in
the fourth quarter.
No. team has ever stopped the
Danes as cold as Springfield did.
Terry Walsh started the game at
quarterback for Albany, but his
bruised leg forced an early exit, and
brought on Mike Fiorito, then
Walsh again, and finally, freshman
Tom Pratt. The Dane offense simply could not mount a serious scoring
threat, with their furthest penetration the Springfield 32 yard line.
Statistically, the numbers were
devastating: Just 50 plays from
scrimmage, 29 rushing yards, 53
total yards, three first downs, and
0-11 on third down conversions.
The Chiefs' numbers bespeak their
total control: 88 plays from scrim-
"Before we went out for the
game, we said to the players 'Here's
what we have to do to win this
game'," said Albany State head
football coach Bob Ford. "We were
probably three touchdown underdogs. We had to execute damn-near

leading ballcarrier was Jack Burger,
with six rushes for 18 yards.
Tailback Dave Godin of Springfield
tallied 137 yards on 31 carries, and
scored three touchdowns.
The Danes had two moderate
chances to score in the first half.
Tony Green's 30 yard punt was
turned into a diving fair catch by
Albany's Don Bowen on the Dane
49, and an interference penalty
quickly moved the ball to Springfield's 36 yard line. Looking for
a sudden big play, Ford called for a
split end reverse. But Chief defensive end Tom Wisnowski was also
looking for a big play, and his anticipation left him wailing for Scott
Lusher, and he dropped the Dane
for a four yard loss. Fiorilo then
overthrew light end Bruce Dey, and
Albany was soon forced to punt the
ball away. On Ihe nexl series, Chief
fullback Lonnie Burgess fumbled,
and Dane cornerback Joe Rajczak,
who was around ihe ball all game
and had an outstanding final performance, recovered on Springfield's 32 yard line. This opportunity was immediately wasted, as
Florlto's pilch lo Sam Halstion was
high, and by the time splil end Tim
Voiraw was able lo fall on the
bouncing foolball, Ihe Danes had
themselves a 15 yard loss and a lost
scoring chance.
The only points of ihe firsl half
came after a 14 play, 82 yard drive
by the Chiefs. Getting Springfield
in field goal range was a pass play
from- quarterback Jim Collis to
tailback John GusU. Faced with a
third-and-seven situation, the lefthanded Collis fired a high toss over
the middle, where Gusli leaped and
stretched as far as he could to make
a diving grab for a 24 yard pickup
lo the Albany six yard line. From
there, Collis looked lo throw again,
but slipped as he faded back, and
linebacker Sieve Dey tackled Collis
for an eight yard loss. With 55
seconds left in the half, Springfield
pul up the first points of the game,
as soccer-slylc kicker Jim Oliver

James ran ihe fourth mile in 5:23.
Some 20 runners had passed him,

The race emphasized speed rather
than endurance. The 4.96 mile
course was completely flat. James's
task seemed tough as he was forced
to change his strategy. He had lo
run all out from the start instead of
gradually passing runners on the
hills. James started out at a fast
pace. His split lime for the first time
was 4:40, and he was in 13th place
at that time. He was moving loo
rapidly, yel if he had slowed down,
even for five seconds, ten runners
would have passed him. Runners
were going fasler and faster and
there was no time even for brief
rests.
