Carey Slashes SUNY Budget
$26 Million Cutback Proposed
by Mlchclc Israel
Massive cutbacks in SUNY expenditures have been proposed by
Governor Hugh Carey in his
1980-81 Executive Budget. Stale
fiscal plans call for the worst financial setback to hit SUNY since Ihc
early 70s. •
Carey has called for a
$12,300,000 base reduction In
SUNY expenditures, which will
result in the elimination of 1,125
positions.
In addition, Carey has further
proposed to cut the budget by $14
million for the purpose of reexamining current staff and programs.
The proposed budget is based on
a SUNY-wlde enrollment level of
161,976 full-time students, a
decrease of about 1,500 students
from the 1979-80 budgcl levels, according to Executive Budget
figures.
According to SUNYA Finance
and Business Vice President John
Harligan, the New York Stale Division of the Budgcl initially requested a 475 position cut

The Albany State men's swim
team rebounded in superb fashion
from the winter break to defeat
Bridgewater State College and a
"quality" Division I University of
Vermont on Saturday.
In the tri-meet, the Danes
defeated Bridgewater by a lopsided
92-18 score and thwarted Vermont
66-47. Vermont placed third overall
in the Great Dan? Relays earlier this
season.
"The majority of the swimmers
stayed active over vacation. When
they got back we worked hard right
away," commented Albany men's
swimming coach Ron White
"In the solid week of practice
that we had to tune-up for this
meel, we had intense workouts
comprised of three hours of swimming each day and weight training
three limes last week," mentioned
swimmer Tom Roberts.
Opening up the festivities was the
400 yard medley relay which was
the first of a slew of records that
were broken. A medley team of
Steve Bonawitz, Joe Shore, Frank
Heter and Dave Zybala outdistanced the Vermont squad by over eight
seconds in 3:47.6. The winning time
was good enough to crush RPI's
oldstanding pool record of 3:49.3.
Heter mentioned that "this time is
in range of qualifying for the nationals in the event."
The 1000 yard freestyle placed
Albany second and third, with John
Doerner and Steve Ellenberg
finishing behind Vermont's firstplace finisher Steve Levy.
Kevin Ahcrn broke his own pool
record in the 200 yard freestyle;
placing first in the event with a
1:51.3-1.1 seconds belter than his
1979 record. "I felt real good. I hit
my turns real well along with a good
start. We worked out pretty hard
over vacation and the times showed
real well," Ahcrn said.
Capping off another first-place
finish was Roberts, who out-swam
the rest of the field with a 23.6 in
Ihc 50 yd. freestyle. "The race went
well. We blew them away.
Although I won the race, it was still
a full second off my best time in the
event," stated Roberts.
The Danes followed-up with a
first and second place finish in the
200 yard individual medley. Shore
took high honors in 2:07.76, edging
out teammate Heter. "It was a real
tough race wilh great dual competition between Joe and 1 for
first,"said Heter.
Both diving events turned out
disappointing, with Vermont's
Gary Clark taking first place
finishes in both the one and three
meter competitions. In the one
meter event Albany's Bill Derkasch
placed second, highlighted by his
inward, one-and-one-half twist,
tuck position dive with a 2.2 degree
of difficulty. The judges awarded a
6-5-6 score for the effort. Derkasch
also placed second behind Clark in
the three meler, losing to the. Vermont competitor due to a "fail

C a l i f o r n i a G o v e r n o r and
presidential hopeful Edmund G.
"Jerry" Brown drew a standingroom-only crowd in SUNYA's
Campus Center ballroom Tuesday.
In the presentation, co-sponsored
by SUNYA's Poiilical Science
Department and Political Science
Association, Brown criticized the
Carter administration and outlined
his policies for change.
Brown began by discussing the
1980 presidential campaign, which
he described as a "process that is
progressively deteriorating."
He called upon students to form
a "new political coalition" to
"bring new values into the
(poiilical) process." Brown then
responded to complaints about
local election laws which do not
allow students to vote as Albany
residents. He called the laws
"inefficient" and said students
"better start the revolution now."
Unemployment, Missiles, Oil
Brown emphasized the importance of domestic problems, which
lie feels should play a larger role in
the presidential campaign than they
presently do, He pointed out
unemployment as one of our largest
domestic problems, proposing a
program of environmental conservation which would involve
"putting Americans to work" in a
way that "doesn't wreck the environment."
Discussing the federal defense
budget, Brown criticized Carter's
proposal lo spend $50 million on
the MX missile system. "$50
million in mass transit for people is
much more iniporlraut than spending $50 million on a racetrack for
200 nuclear warheads," he said.
Brown outlined a policy of calling on our allies, singling out Germany and Japan, lo pay for a larger
share of American-provided
defense. He suggested that these
funds be used in the Mid-Easl and
lo "rebuild at home."
Under a Brown presidency, he
said, gasoline rationing would be
implemented lo "send oul a
message of discipline" to the
American people as well as lo
decrease our "vulnerability" caused by a dependence on Mid-East
oil.
When questioned on his position
on nationalization of oil industries,
Brown claimed he was willing lo
"have Ihc government do the
negotiations,
to

he added, approximately 25
SUNYA positions would have been
eliminated.
Harligan said, however, since the
posilion culback has increased, it is
noi possible lo determine how many

"The picture gels even cloudier
when you move to Ihc $14 million,"
said Harligan, ciling the difficulty
in determining the lime it will lake
to decide wlial cuts should be made
in staff and programs.
"There will have lo be an Internal

would be cut. I hale lo speculate on
results," said Harligan.
Dean of Sludcnl Affairs Neil
Brown said ihc impact of the proposed budgcl will not be fully
known until passed by Ihe
legislature in March.
However, he explained thai currenl cutbacks have severely reduced
staff in SUNYA's Financial Aids
Office, and in other student affair
offices.
"There arc big reductions in big

Finance and Business Harry

Spindler said it is possible that

However, according to Carey's

SUNY has not been hil harder than

severe cutbacks have been made to
reduce the level of spending on slate

YouthMayRebel
WASHINGTON (AP) Opponents of Pres. Carter's plan to
register draft-age youths vowed Thursday to "picket,
teach-in, protest and demonstrate" in every major city, but
acknowledged they will have a hard time stopping the program. As student groups and others mapped campaigns to
rally public opinion against registration, several members
i of Congress denounced Carter's action and promised to try
to block it. One idea being examined is an attempt to deny
the administration the money it would need to take the
Selective Service System out of mothballs, where it has been
since 1975 when President Gerald Ford halted registration.
. Carter already has authority under his
executive powers to order registration. Congress also would
have to change Selective Service laws if Carter decided to
compel women as well as men to register. In his Stale of the
Union address Wednesday, in which he announced plans to
begin registration for the draft, Carter did not say whether
he intended to register women. Administration officials
have said that is an open question. The president already
has strong backing on rcgistration-from key congressional
leaders, including Scnale Democratic leader Robert Byrd
and House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, and it appears now
thai his plan would be approved. House Republican Leader
John Rhodes of Arizona said Carlcr has overwhelming support among Republicans on the issue and that he sees no effective opposition lo it from any quarter. Even so,
representatives of various groups opposing registration
went 10 Capilol Hill and declared they would fight an admillcdly uphill battle. Most of the spokesmen predicted
thai registration would lead loadrafl. In his speech, Carler
said he hoped a drafl will not be necessary but that "we
musi be prepared for that possibility."
Carter to Arm China
WASHINGTON (AP) The Carler administration has
decided to sell military arms lo China lo help deter Soviet
aggression, the chairman of a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee said today. Rep. Lester L. Wolff (D-N.Y.),
chairman of the Asian and Pacific Affairs subcommittee,
said the formal announcement would be made by the While
House later in the day. In a brief floor speech, Wolff told
the House: "There will be an announcement within hours
that military sales to the People's Republic of China will be
authorized." Wolff said he personally opposes such a
move. "This is a great departure from previous relations
with lhat country," he said. "I must say thai I strongly oppose this idea until such lime as we know what we are going
to get in return from the People's Republic of China."
England Supports U.S. Stand
LONDON (AP) British Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington
announced a tough package of anti-Soviet measures today
to protest Moscow's military intervention in Afghanistan.
They included suspension of high-level and ministerial contacts. The British government also voiced full support for
the main goals in the U.S.-Soviet clash over Afghanistan as
defined by President Carter in his Stale of Ihe Union address to Congress. Other moves announced by Carrington
in Parliament included cancellation of military exchanges
between Britain and the Soviets and an increase in the
number of broadcasts beamed into the Soviet Union and
Afghanistan by the British Broadcasting Corp. But Carrington said: "1 don't think the situation at (he moment
makes it necessary lo reintroduce conscription or anything
of that kind." Britain abolished military conscription in
1960 and now relies entirely on volunteers to man ils forces.
Toss Criticizes U.S. Position
MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet news agency Tass today
described as absurd President Carter's claim in his Stale of
the Union message thai Ihe Persian Gulf area is a sphere of
vilal interest to Ihe United States. In a Washingtondatclined dispatch, the news agency said Carler emphasized
the claims of ihe U.S. administration to the "right" to interfere in the internal affairs of other stales which possess
raw materials or lie on oil-supply routes. Tass said Carler
arbitrarily proclaimed the Persian Gulf area as a sphere of
vital interest. He made no secret, the news agency said, that
"at the ba.iis of the false thesis of the 'vilal interests' of the
USA in ihe Persian Gulf lies a desire lo keep Ihe dominant
position of American monopolies in the region." "Carler
alleged that there exists some 'threat' lo the 'free movement
of Middle East oil,' a threat allegedly coming from Ihe
Soviet Union," Tass said. "The absurdity of Washington
claims that the Persian Gulf area is a sphere of U.S. 'vilal
Interests' is an axiom which needs no proof and which is expecially obvious to the peoples of the region or countries lying in immediate proximity to it," the Soviet news agency
added.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A powerful earthquake shook a
large area of Northern California on Thursday, swaying
buildings in downtown San Francisco. Initial reports said it
apparently caused no major damage. The National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo., said
preliminary readings about the quake registered from 5.2 lo
5.5 on the Richtcr scale. A quake with a reading of 5 is
capable of doing considerable damage. But Jim Watkins,
chief of the planning division for the state Office of
Emergency Services in Sacramento, said preliminary
reports indicated there was no damage. "We felt it here in
Sacramento," Walkins said. "It shook a lot of plants, and
it stood me up as I was sitting in my chair." Sacramento is
100 miles east of San Francisco. The quake, which occured

Wellington Buses Rerouted in Safety Move
by Patricia Branley
In an attempt to protect students
living in the Pine Hills "student
ghetto," Ihe weekend Wellington
bus has been re-routed this
semester, according to Physical
Plant Director Dennis Stevens.
According to SUNYA Supervisor
of Vehicle Operations Bill Gathcn,
Ihe Wellington's new route went into effect on January 14. The
changes arc effective after 6 p.m.,
he said.
According to Stevens, the bus
travels ils regular route but turns
right on Ontario Sirecl and slops in
front of Alumni Quad's Pierce
Hall. The bus then makes an immediate left onto Western Avenue,
a left on Quail Street, and a right
back lo Washington Avenue to continue ils regular route,
"Both the Wellington and Alumni buses will make slops at any corner upon request," he added, "but
no other changes in the lime
schedule or route have been made."
"The small buses have to be used
on this Ontario-Quail loop because
the larger buses cannot make the
turns," said Gathen.
Gathen anticipates no problems
maintaining this loop. He said,
"Even with snow and traffic the
loop'can be made using Ihe small
buses."
"This roule, which previously existed in 1976 and 1977, only had to
be suspended on one or two occasions due to extreme snow,' Gathen
said.
According lo Stevens, there is
presently enough manpower lo staff

two-and-a-half positions have been
lost due to cutbacks and no overtime can be authorized.
"However, this manpower silualion may be a problem in bad

University Senate Reviews
ACT Reform Proposal
SA Seeks Funding Change
h> Ann Savage
The proposed establishment of
SA's Assessment of Courses and
Teachers (ACT) on a Universitywide basis is currently under review
by University Senate's Educational
Policy Council. According lo ACT
Coordinalor Ira Somach, ihe move
is designed lo increase participation
in the project and provide for its
finance.
Somach cites figures showing
that only 10 percent of University
faculty have been involved in the
annual student evaluation of
SUNYA academic programs. Both
he and SA Director of Academic
Concerns Jim Mitchell claim that
broadening ACT'S coverage will
benefit teachers as well as students,
as faculty members recognized for
excellence will experience increased
enrollment In their classes.
"If a teacher has a weakness lie
will have a full sample of what was
good and bad about the course,"
said Somach. "Through meaningful feedback, it (ACT) can turn a
mediocre leacher into an excellent
teacher."
Money: SA and ACT
Mitchell and Somach view ihe
proposed resolution as an opportunity to relieve SA of the burden of
funding ihe project. In addition lo

cost of ACT, the two claim ilial SA

He added, "We are making 120

Short Run Problems
An additional problem Gathen
cilcd was Ihal "slopping on request

"I feci Ihal this bus route is an
important factor in providing safety
in the downtown campus area but it
makes me angry lo have Ihis route
being used as a short run bar bus,
servicing those going from
O ' H e a n e y ' s to W a s h i n g t o n
Tavern," Stevens said.
"It's purpose is to eliminate
walking from Washington Avenue
to a dormitory," he added.
The new bus route is a result of a
proposal raised last semester at a
meeting of the President's Task
Force on Women's Safely. The task
force, an advisory group created by
SUNYA P r e s i d e n t
Vincent
O'Lcary, was created in response to
the recent rash of assaults in the
Pine Hills area.
of administrators and students, addresses the growing concerns of
women's safety on and off the cam-
pus. Numerous projects are currently being undertaken
Task Force Goals
The installation of an on-campus
emergency telephone system, providing student patrols and escorts,
and training women in self defense
are some of the group's goals, according to Task Force member
Janice Fine.
The task force is responsible for
the improved lighting conditions on
Partridge and Ontario Streets. Al a
meeting last semester a proposal for
adequate lighting in the downtown
area was made, Stevens said.
During the recess, through the
combined efforts of the City,
Niagara-Mohawk and Stevens,
sodium vapor lights were installed.
"This should make the, area more
secure," said Stevens.
Warm Winter Delays Ice Rink
by Rich Krasluw
Unusually warm wcaihcr and
, construction difficulties have
delayed completion of SUNYA's
first on-campus ice skating rink.
According lo an SA spokesman,
Iherc is an 80 pel. chance that the
rink located on ihe east side of the
Phys. Ed. building will not
materialize. He cilcd "basic Incompetence" on the part of the
plain administration as a reason the
rink may remain inoperable. "They
have made something thai just
won't work," he added.
The cost of the rink, in ils unfinished stages, is in an estimated
range or $1000-$6000, said the SA
source. However, according lo
Physical Plant Director Dennis
Stevens, the rink was built al no administrative cost.
Freeze Needed
A major obstacle hailing rink
completion was created when
builders dug loo deep and reached
sand, which may have attributed to
the prevention of Ihe rink's freezing
earlier Ihis year.
Atmospheric Department Chair
Harry Hamilton said, "Since heat
flows up from the ground, il would
have been more practical had ihcy
dug less deeply."
Grounds Foreman Fred Fortuin
admitted he is "no expert.-'-' He said
that he never built an ice skating
rink before, but fell Ihe project
would have been a success had
weal her conditions been cold
enough to permit freezing. Fortuin
added Ihal he did uol know Ihe cost
of Ihe project, but estimated that
the crew worked several days on
completing il. In Fortuln's opinion,
the project is complete.
Dean for Student Affairs, Neil
Brown said "The famous Albany
weather gave us warm, nearly
balmy weal her which acleil against
formation of ice in the rink."
Brown added lhat, "a period of
cold weather (several days of 10-20
degree, lor example) would be sufficient to make the rink feasible for
the winter weekend." Brown feels
the project was not yet a success,
and he could not offer an estimate
as to the eventual cost to the administration.
Plain Superintendent Ira Devoe
said, "The skating rink could be a
howling success if the weather
cooperates." Devoe added thai
"Ihe ultimate success of the rink
will depend upon Ihe students' reaction."
Hamilton said, "Based on
Albany climatology, it is doubtful
that the rink could be used during
any given winter." Me added that,
"there is never a large period where
ihe rink could be self-maintained."
Hamilton noted that this condition exists for any man-made rink
in ihe area. With regard to our
unusually mild winter, Hamilton
feels the rink could be maintained
for short periods of time.
Best Site
The ice skating rink has been
under SA consideration Tor eight
years, during which alternate sites
were discussed. The fountain was
one consideration but was discounted because of the possibility
of concrete cracking,
A patch of land near the Biology
Building was also considered as a

$50,000 refrigeration unit would be

According to Fortuin, future
plans lor Ihe present silc Include
sloping il gradually and seeding it
for the spring in hopes lo Iry again
next winter. He did not feel this
would impose any additional cost.
Stevens said Ihe plant department
absorbed the entire cost of Ihe project "by diverting manpower which
was not needed because of the lack
of snow.
"If there had been snow, "he added, "the project would never have
been considered."

not be justified. "It might not help

While Mitchell denied the validity

troubles which he claims will be

Transfer Now in Senate Hands
First published about six years
ago as an SA project, ACT was
discontinued in 1976. SA made
another attempt at the booklet a
year and three months ago, and has
since come out with two publications. A third publication is currently in the works.
In order for ACT to become
university-wide, it must be recommended by the Educational Policy
Council of the University Senate.
The recommendation would then
go to SUNYA President Vincent
O'Leary, who is charged with a
final decision.
The University Senate proposal
requests that, in the event of failure
to be accepted as a university-wide
method of evaluation, individual
departments submit their cvalualions for publication.
Governor Brown Addresses SUNYA

Soviets. Instead, he called for an acceleration of the NATO summit
scheduled for June to be held by the
end of January, allowing the allied
nations to "formulate a common
strategy."
Brown received applause when lie
called for ihe U.S. lo turn away
from Ihe role of " w o r l d
policeman," pointing - out the
possibility of a reinstatement of the
draft. "It's not ihe job of ihe U.S.
military to make the world safe for
Pepsi-Cola," he added.
Brown criticized Carter for being
inconsistent on the issue of
American hostages in Iran. He voiced his support of "continued
diplomatic pressure" and not
"giving in in blackmail."
in responding lb the results of the
Iowa caucus held Monday, Brown
told Ihe audience Ihat "Carter won
rather well, and Kennedy lusi rather
badly. My presence was not rather
obvious," he added.
" I n for (he Duration"
Al a later press conference at the
Albany County Airport, Brown
outlined some of his immediate
campaign strategy.
Calling his campaign an
"insurgent effort," Brown said he
is "in it for the duration." He said
he "plans lo provide a challenge in
New England," and it is there and
in Wisconsin that he feels his campaign will "come lo the test."
Brown pointed out thai of $1.2
million of campaign funds, approximately "a quarter of a million" has
been raised from rock concerts.
When asked about his chances
against Carter, he staled "Carter
has momentum for the moment,"
but that il will "slow down."
Brown's ueM stop was lo be Burlington, Vermont. He said lie pla'ns

Carey Puts Budget Squeeze on SUNY
continued from front page
Snyder said Carey is aware of the
problems SUNY will encounter, but
he is confident that the SUNY
Board of Trustees, will submit a
workable plan to benefit the
system.
The Legislature is currently
analyzing Carey's revenue projections. David I.angdon, Press
Secretary to Assembly Leader
Stanley Fink, said a long process is
involved when examining the
budget. "There arc lots of cutbacks. Ii takes time to look al them
and analyze numbers."
He added thai Link, u strong supporter of the CUNY and SUNY
systems, "will look Into the entire
system and sec what the governor
has done. We have to find out if the
revenue projections arc correct.
Maybe they will show that more
money is available," said Langdon.
SASU Communications Director
Pum Snook said Carey "is not doing the budget in a sensible way.
He's nol looking al Ihe strengths '
and weaknesses of programs before
lie eliminates positions."
She added that while higher
public education has been hit with
annual budget reductions, Bundy
Aid lo private colleges has increased. "There has been a $22 million
increase in Bundy awards over the '
past year. The trend will continue."
Snyder said he is not aware of an
increase in aid to private colleges.

Stinky's Healthy

for a child to be called "Stinky"

Professor Ron Harre, writing in

that he has interviewed thousands
of people in his study of childhood

He says he has concluded that
"those who have no nicknames
have no social existence — they are
non-people."
According to the professor, to be

of attention by your peers — even if
the attention is unpleasant. Thus,

Thus began one of the most incredible

The word rolls off the tongue like a piece of
fetid cheese. It brings lo mind pictures of
depression-era type dole lines, middle aged
women flailing students with "Sorry, it's
closed" and that last minule prayer to the
Lord for that "fifth gut".
The worst part, of course is the
psychological expense involved with the
ulcerous U-lounge labyrinth. While probably

But why? Why is this mind-Tucking procedure in existence? With all the highly trained and paid management, public administration, organizational, and systems analysis

be simplified? Yes, yes, I know, "we're
working on streamlining the system night and

If we can send men lo the moon, dock
space ships together thousands of miles
away, clone cellular structures, and elect Nixon twice, surely a relatively simpler method
of registration can be devised. Well, what
should be done?
How about forcing administrators to draw

Dear Governor Carey:
I am a student at SUNY Pittsburgh, and
am sure that you've heard the quote "A mind
is a terrible thing to waste" and quile agree to
do so would indeed be an atrocity.
I strongly feel that you are wasting hundreds of minds through your proposed
budgetary cuts, especially those in higher
education. Who will have the knowledge to
carry on where you and other great leaders
leave off? If your cuts do see implementation, a number so insignificant as to be able
to count them on one's own hands will resull
over the next few years. This will mean a virtual hall of our economy, advancements in
technology, increase in the standard of living,

— There would be fewer academic advisors, fewer financial aid counselors, and
fewer student services.
In 1976, Carey forced SUNY to increase
tuition by $100 while forcing the retrenchment of hundreds of faculty positions.
SUNY has never recovered from those cuts.
Last year, Carey again forced SUNY to
raise tuition, this time by $150 for lower division students. We were told thai the increase
was necessary to avoid cuts. Now weareforced to accept both higher tuition and more
cuts.
While the stale is forcing SUNY lo accept
cuts, decreasing the quality of education,
state aid to private colleges has been greatly
increased. Bundy Aid (direct aid lo private
schools) was increased this year by S22
million. These schools arc not even held accountable for how the money is spent. $22
million would fund more than 1000 faculty
positions at SUNY.
We can slop these attacks against nur
faculty and education by organizing and
fighting back. Join the SASIJ, SU, SA, ami
UUP efforts to save SUNY. With your support and active participation, we can save

surely I began to feel more and more comfortable following The Dead, as well as being part
of all the crazlness that goes along with It. The
unity created in the air, though often
generated by hallucinogens, could be felt even
without a drug. One could just walk through
the crowd feeling Ihe energy.
As of this very moment, for me at least,
walking Into a Dead concert, anywhere, feels
like . . . going home (no violins, please).
Familiar faces can be seen everywhere. I've
often walked through a crowd trying to match

(usually). Getting there Is half the fun. In fact,
truckln' to a Dead show seams to be what It's
all about — hitting ihe open road for a great
time — meeting northerners, southerners,
midwesterners . . . The network Is just . . i
amazing. Anywhere and everywhere new
friends are found — ones you know you won't
see again, until maybe you make It back to
Buttfuck, USA for another show.
Attempting to catch more than one or two
shows on a given tour can have its drawbacks
too. The Dead, you see, are always touring.
Unlike any other band that's ever been, they
never really take a break. And because they
don't do a "tour", their shows are varied,
though sometimes not varied enough. This is
quite unlike any other major band which
would do the same show continually
throughout their lour. School, II seems, is
usually In session when there is a tour going
on. The lack of money also can stifle Ihe attempt of seeing more than a few shows . . .
nonetheless, Ihe music never stops and very
often giving up a show 400 miles away may
enable you to catch two within one hour of
each other.
Whatever . . . As I said, I traveled this past
vacation to the other coast to see the beautiful
Californlan sunset and catch some shows.
Neither let me down. The sun shlned for most
of the two and a half weeks I spent there and
the shows were amazing with some surprises
from the past. The walk into the Oakland
Auditorium sent my senses a reelln' and a

began to become more than a feeling. Faces
from Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Utah, Providence

me as I stood there. The lights went out and it

The preceding notes were scribbled on the
back of a little pamphlet I had been carrying
around. The pamphlet had been given to me
by one of the aforementioned "street acts" In
Berkeley, and It read "May the 70s rot In
peace! In the 80s the Empire's gonna shake,
rattle 'n roll! The pamphlet foretold of a night
of iconoclastic rock'n roll ("Rock'n Revolt")
and was sponsored, In part, by the local Communist party. The starring acts were bands
called Prairie Fire and the States, acts that
promised to "bring d o w n " the Red Flag
theater, "the house" as It were, in a gala New
Year's Eve bash on Chestnut Street In San
Francisco's North Beach area.
My whole state of mind had been altered in
that long-needed vacation. Berkeley Is so
stimulating that you would have to go quite
out of your way to be bored. Even shopping
for food Is an experience, being that there still
exists an older, more conservative element In
Berkeley; those who, Incredibly, still frown
and won't look In the eyes of the "hippies"
who share the frozen food aisles with them.
Vegetarian restaurants abound as do smalllime jewelers and leather craftsmen who sell
their wares out on the street. There are
violinists playing Beethoven, poets chanting,
oracles and modern-day soothsayers trying to
raise someone's consciousness for maybe a
quarter. The Shakespeare Book Shop on
Telegraph Is full of used classics that sell for as
low as a dollar. A glimpse In the university
bookstore reveals a liberalized curriculum; leftist philosophy and revolutionary economics.

down Lombaro Street and you have to marvel
at the fact that someone decided to build a city
here! Moreover, one can find Moonies, LSD,
and strong gay communities In many
American cities nowadays, but this is where il
all started. New Years' Eve was a testament lo
the festive sensibilities of San Francisco. In
North Beach a roadblock had been set up at
the corner of Columbus and Broadway where
staggered and milled about, the largest mass
of Inebriated humanity I'd witnessed since the
Mardl Gras. Similar to the Mardl Gras and the
annual Times Square ritual, social convention
had been cast aside for an orgy of indulgence
and gratification. 1 can't desert the subject of
New Year's Eve without mentioning the Tom
McFarland Band, a local act that played some
of the best, hard-ass rock 'n roll in a little club
called the Sacramento. The club Is perched
atop an incline on Green Street and is painted
with aesthetically pleasing colors and designs.
To avoid paying the $2.00 cover charge I
stood outside the club with a friend and sonicstrangers, sharing a joint and I remember
thinking that this was a magical moment, eternally etched In my subconscious, to be recounted many times In the future. Another
peculiar aspect of that evening was that the
Jefferson Starship were playing in a club on
Columbus Ave. We walked by, in fact, as they
were doing "Jane" and could've gained entry
for only $25 a head. A t that very moment, the
Grateful Dead were playing in Oakland. There
must've been a real familial feeling that night in
the Bay area.
In the Halght Ashbury district at the foot of
Golden Gate Park, one can find something of
a renaissance taking place. Victorian mansions
that housed and even helped kindle the first
spark of the hippie "movement" in the middle
60s are being renovated and repainted in the
same loud colors that characterized those embryonic day-glo years. Unfortunately, the promise of a new life and a new start attracted not
only adventurous free spirits and naive kids,
but also those looking for a shortsighted way
out of Ihe confines of social responsibility.
Subsequently, the Halght Is now rife with
drifters, beggars, drunks, real down-andoutters becoming gray at the temples. It seems
that the Halght had been an ordinary
neighborhood prior lo the "Awakening", and;
resumed lhal status shortly after. In fact, the
area around Halght and Market streets Is a
rough section of town. Bui in contrast to even
Iwo years ago, when I first visited the area,
there appears lo be revitalized interest in
boosting the spiritual awareness of the
neighborhood. The Halght Street bookstore Is
a nice, homey place to browse and nearby Is
Vivaldi's wherein Is served superb pizza at a
reasonable price and the best jukebox you'll
ever find.
O n the fifth day of our sojourn, we decided
to rent a car. Our first stop, upon leaving
Berkeley, was to cross the Golden Gate
Bridge (which is in fact orange) into Sausallto,
the beautiful little island that is usually Included
In the ferry ride from the Wharf to Alcatraz and
Marin County. Sausallto Is, also, somewhat
commercialized, but it still Is the residence of
an esoteric colony of artists and philosophers
(Alan Watts among them) whose presence undoubtedly contributes to the clear and good
feeling one gets when walking those roads that
spiral continually upward. From Sausallto we
drove south on Pacific Coast Highway N o . 1
and camped on a beach whose name was
unknown to us — this spontaneous and arbitrary decision to compenste, perhaps, for the
entirely bourgeois feeling of riding in a new
automobile. There is nothing like'the sunrise
over the ocean, and soon we were off the Big
Sur, my weak constilulion being overtaken
with nausea as we twisted and turned down
the tumultuous Pacific coast. Big Sur Is
something of a fairyland, Immortalized In pan
by Jack Kerouac and Richard Brautigan.
Here, now, let my notes tell It:
Big Sur, Jan. 4, 1980
Having just awoke after a cold night inside a
"sand-cave", the gulls are coming In, circling,
looking for breakfast. A black goose struggles
for its life. There are no humans in the
panorama. From a distance, these divinely
conceived caves appear as brown dots along
the blue water. Up close, purple silt and white
gull entrails paint the strangely sculpted rock
smooth impressions that look like smiles and
other facial mannerisms. The rocks we stood
on were centuries in the making, the tenuous
water slaps down o n the surface, hewing a
coarse edge, rounding out an angle. There's
something very uniform in the design.
There Is no township or settlement of Big
Sur, per se. There are houses, very geometric,
that nestle In the mountains, lodges and commercial outposts accompany the redwoods all
along Highway I. The weather Is at best indecisive. From atop the mountains, fresh
water trickles down, carving Its own passage In
the sand, emptying In the sally ocean. There
are...
Southern California is an entirely different
story. From the cliche of the uninhibited and
contemplative granola freaks of the north, we
headed south and the fast-paced, open-shirt,
cocaine aura seemed to enguif us iinme palely
Hollywood Boulevard, the thoroughfare
celebrated by the Kinks and others, Is the embodiment of all that Is affected and contrived
and Is an Integral pari of one of the most toxic
and spiritually bankrupt settlements in the
world — Los Angeles. Down the boulevard,
tourists from all over the country eye key
places — Grauman's Chinese Theater for Instance, and are careful not to be so gauche as
to look down at the sidewalk momentoes
commemorating every entertainer with Ihe
money or the Influence to be Immortalized
on a umcrete slab. Women try to be
glamorous, sucking In their pale cheeks just
slightly so as to appear consumptive and
bored, while men shake their asses and
cultivate a delicate appearance because these
days it's very In to be effeminate. The stars,
not the entertainers, but the actual concrete
pentangles, are about three by four feet In

star's particular forte, nor are any vital statistics
such as blrthdate Included. Only the names
are given, accompanied by one of the four
symbols In a code designed to underscore that
star's field of entertainment — e.g. a movie

star, a disc for the musicians, a microphone
for radio celebs, and a television screen with
two long antennae prominently perched on
top indicates a career in lunacy (pun intended

a television event and given Ms own little slab
of eternity). Some other unllkelys appear, Igor Stravinsky has a niche on the Boulevard as
do Ronald Reagan, Crosby, Stills, and Nash,
and Peter Frampton.
Los Angeles is a very large city in area. In
addition lo movies, it was once a major aircraft
manufacturing site. The city has no rapid transit system and the exhausl fumes emanating
from Ihe infinitesimal number of autos that
drive through L.A. every day are trapped In
the San Fernando valley by the warm
Southern California air, hence Ihe world
famous smog. Despite its great size, or possibly because of it, there Is no section In Los,
Angeles that can be casually walked through.
The city's claim to fame among the young is
Van Nuys Boulevard, a paradise for horny
adolescents (but then, what adolescent Isn't?).
Van Nuys, by Ihe way was totally deserted
when we toured through It, In the final
analysis, if such a thing is possible, Los
Angeles stands oul as a city without substance.
I wasn't aware of any unity of esprit de corps
(except during the playoffs). G'-""iour and
good weather are L.A.'s attributes. It should
be seen and discarded.
It rained during my entire hiatus In San
Diego. I was granted, however, one sunny
day to hitch from the beautiful city back to
L.A. for my flight home. As you proceed
south in California, Ihe population of Mexicans, many of them illegal aliens, thickens.
Bus drivers take pains warning passengers not
to smoke pot. Road signs become bilingual.
Outside San Diego live two high school friends

omelette so large I couldn't finish it.

no place to search for the American Dream.
California sets the trends. Who Isn't aware of

centers that have sprung up in California? . . .
not reflective of a "Me Decade" but the logical

The second side of the album is comprised
ol electric and acoustic numbers, "When You
Dance I Can Really Love," and "The Loner"
start off the side with fine, driving guitar work
in the heavy metal vein.
"The Needle and the Damage Done," an
acoustic number written for Danny Whitten,
former lead guitarist of Crazy Horse, who died
of a heroin overdose, is a mournful anti-drug
song. Young warns the audience, " A junkie's
like a setting sun," and "there's a little bit in
everyone." The song does not come off topheavy, but it leaves the audience thinking,
which is evidence of Young's capacity as a
meaningful songwriter. 'Lotta Love," an easylistening middle-of-the-road song about
building a relationship, nnd "-Sedan Delivery,"
an interesting electric number which begins
with 3 Ramonlsh one-two-three assault-onthe-cardrums opening, completes the second
side.
regular who's been with Boz, and Steely, arid
Rlckle Lee, too. But he knows just what he's
doing, because once one accepts The Manhattan Transfer as presumptuous and the
epitome of 'over-done,' then one can a p preciate Graydon's complete adherence t o
that, and he has indeed provided the best,
most diverse, and fullest Transfer record yet.
The Manhattan Transfer Is one of those
hybrid groups that take two musical categories
and bring Ihem together. They enjoy adding
silly words to famous jazz and swing songs and
playing them with grand, new arrangements,
and the jazz ranges from Weather Reports'
1978 classic, "Blrdland," to 1938's, "Wacky
Dust," a tongue-in-cheek referral to the champagne of powdered drugs. There's a song
from 1959 about Insanity called, "Coo C o o
U," and the 1933 standard, "Body and Soul"
Is lyricized and revamped again, as Is a 1958
forgotten one called "Tickle Tickle."
In between these covers are two new songs by the
producer that stand out sorely and don't quite
cut tl next to the pre-1960 stuff. Disco even
made it onto the nostalgia group's LP, possibly
an interesting comment about its future. The
tune Is "Twilight Tone," an excellent
danceable disco gimmick that follows a
remake of "Twilight Zone," the classic T V
iheme by the score writer, Bernard Hermann.
The best shot of all though.isn't jazz or disco,
but a delightful remake of Tom Wait's,
"Foreign Affair," a sentimental song about
life's quest, and the challenge being the thrill
over the solution. It's the only song with lyrics
worth reading, but they're included for all of
them.

well, another Innovation that may soon find
favor In mainstream recordings.
This reviewer has never seen them on;

flawless recording can never be matched live
under any conditions. This foursome needs
the studio to survive. Their four voices

person who's ever been In love can relate.
Finishing up an exceptional side Is "Into the

the Night, an early Nell Young piece. It Is Interesting to note the difference between the
studio version, which has Its roots In R & B,
and the live version. The Live Rust version Is
an Interesting combination of hard rock, soul
(evident in the throbbing bass), and Interludes
of acapello singing. All in all, the music of
"Tonights the Night" comes across as an Interesting, tasty, and foot-stomping tune.

The Enemy is Here
Approximately 2500 years ago, man started a technological journey that took him
from the advances of the ancient Greeks to the creation of the atomic bomb. N o * , it
is 1980, and man refuses to believe that this technojourney is at its culmination, and
an entire new system of existence is in store for us.
People have become suddenly upset because President Carter has taken apparent
first measures towards possible war. Unfortunate as it may be, history has
demonstrated that war is a part of man, as it has never left him in his entire civilized
existence. One does not have to like war; one shouldn't. But for the last 4000 years,
there have been wars, and for the last 4000 years, people fought them with enthusiasm, an enthusiasm they had to muster because they were fighting to preserve
something they wanted to preserve.
The current world situation brings it all together, so predictably. Raving maniacs
screamed years ago that we were using up our resources too fast, polluting our environment too heavily, but the sane men in power chose to ignore the future and put
down the maniacs, and not il's loo late. You're worried about war? We've already
lost the war against cancer. We've won the war against nature — we've annihilated
Ihe " e n e m y . "
And as America fell so, so secure living on easy street in the wake of a World War
victory, seven completely crazy presidents dictated priorities that let weapon
development step up lo a degree where a situation has been created that is too late to
control. The atomic bomb is definitely in the wrong hands these days, as smaller
countries with unstable governments will soon have Ihc power to start World War
111. What happens when all of the Mid-East nations have it, when North African nations have il, when some crazy dictator uses it?
Thirty years of cold war escalation have gone by, and there had to be a cost.
We've sacrificed America al ihc cost of making it safe against communism. So this
time no one wants to fight, and we can't blame them, because there ain't nothin'
worlh preserving.
The war is at home, and if you want to be really patriotic, that's where you'll stay.
Are we going lo lei millions of Americans die for some oil fields that will be gone in
ten years anyway? If we elect leadership that continues on this destructive, inane
path, then our fate is scaled. Sitting back and letting government take care of
America is no longer acceptable, because government doesn't know what the hell
they're doing. And if we do sil back and let all of this happen, that will only prove
just how low the so-called leaders have pushed the morale of Americans.
Whether wc agree to register for the draft or nol is nol the issue. The issue is why
it's necessary, why we have no say in il, HOW W E CAN SET T H I S RUINED
P L A N E T STRAIGHT AGAIN!
Wc have given control of this world lo people who have subsequently created certain frightening inevitabilities. Many of those inevitabilities have already come (rue,
and Ihe worst of all, nuclear war, seems nearer than ever. This issue is not Iran, it's
not registration, il's not Afghanistan. It's all one big issue called survival, and we're
losing it fast.
We leave you with one thought as you head into your weekend, partying planned,
fun on the mind: Just what the hell will Monday bring?
Sec you in class, maybe.

OGDEN, Ulah (AP) Question:
What major college basketball team
has the longest winning streak in the
nation?
If you guessed 18th-rankcd
Weber Slate College with 17
straight, you probably live in the
Rocky Mountains. If you guessed
No. I DePaul, 160, you may be
asking yourself, "Weber who?"
But that kind of anonymity
doesn't bolhcr Coach Neil McCarthy, whose Wildcats may be one of
lite better kept secrets in college
basketball.
Not only has Weber State won 17
in a row, but the Wildcats in Five
years under McCarlhy have posted
a 104-46 record and arc favored to
with their third straight Big Sky
Conference title.
Weber State has an enrollment of
10,000 and didn't become a fouryear school until 1962. But since
then the Wildcats have been
awesome, going 120-33 under Dick

Washington Bullets — and 68-16

under Phil Johnson, an assistant

Still, Weber State always has
been a poor cousin to the much
larger and better-known schools
downstate — Utah and Brigham
Young
"I just thought we'd eventually
be rated," McCarlhy said of his
club's first appearance of the
season in The Associated Press'
Top Twenty this week.
In March, Weber State will get
even more national exposure. Its
12,000 seal Dee Events Center is
one of two West sites for the First
too rounds of the NCAA postseason tournament, and the home
court advantage could propel the
Wildcats into some pretty rarificd
company.
Last year, Weber Slate, 25-9,
heal New Mexico Slate in the opening round of the NCAA tourney
ficforc losing lo Arkansas.
The Wildcats' only loss this
season was an opening over-lime
road sclback to Utah Slate. Their
winning streak includes a triumph
over defending NCAA champion
Michigan Slalc and a 7«-78 decision
over Nevada-Las Vegas in the Las
Vegas Holiday Classic.
McCarthy starts four seniors and
a junior. Richard Smith, a 7-foot-1,
245-pound ce.tler, averages nearly
13 poinis a game, 6-8 forward
• David Johnson 15, and 6-6 forward
Gerald Maliinson nearly 10.
But the guards make Weber Slalc
roll. I'laymaker Mark Mattos is
averaging 7.5 assists a game, and
smooth 6-5 Bruce Collins is averaging 17.7 poinis and is the school's
all-time leading scorer.

The Albany State men's J.V.
basketball team, recovering from
the loss to local Union, extended
their home winning streak to seven
games Tuesday night by trampling
an extremely out-of-practicc
Oneonta squad 107-74 in University
Gym. The Danes went up in the
first five minutes, led by as many as
24 points near the end of the opening half, and prevented the Red
Dragons from ever really threatening throughout the contest.
Albany's record is now 7-2.
Defense was the name of the
game for tlie Danes. Even though
they yielded 74 points, tight
coverage enabled Albany to score at
a much quicker rale than their opposition. Sub Glen Phillips and
guard Greg Watson both hit for
their seasonal highs, and tied for
the game's scoring honors with 22
points each. Phillips also passed
well, serving up eight assists.
"We just played real good
defense," said Albany J.V. head
coach Steve Kopp. "It was our best
defense of the year, which gave us
many easy baskets."

resulting in the high score (the
Danes' second three-figure total of
the season). For Oneonta, Jim
Boland (15 points) and Guy Pepe
(10 points) were the only men who
scored in double figures.
Rounding out the Albany scoring, Mike Gaines and Dave Hardy
had 14 points, and Mike Gatto was
credited with 13. Hardy once again
was a force underneath, pulling
down ten rebounds, seven offensively.
Kopp noted that this Red Dragon
team (who beat Union earlier this
year) had returned to school Monday, and only practiced once since
December 14. The extremely long
layoff ending when it did had a
definite influence on Tuesday's
game.
According to Oneonta J.V. head
coach Hal Chase, the visitors were
out of shape. He also stated that
two starters were missing due to injury and illness, but that this
Albany team "would beat us 99 out
of 100 times." Kopp tends to feel
differently: "I expect that game at
their place to be a lot closer than
this one. They're a lot better than
they were on Tuesday," said Kopp.
Onconta's record is now 3-4.
The Danes travel to RPI tomorrow to meet the Engineers. After
that, seven of the ten remaining
games will be played on the road.
Swimmers Stay Undefeated
By Downing Kings, 5 6 - 4 7
not pose much of a problem lor the
Danes "as long as they didn't make
any mistakes," Albany Coach Ron
White used the meet as a sort of
" t u n e - u p " for the important
Potsdam contest tomorrow. "We
moved people around to see how
they could do in events unfamiliar
to them. Steve Bonawltz's 2:15.4 in
the individual medley was a real
good showing," said While.
The meet was characterized by
White as "one of those meets where
nobody stood out. The times were
off and we relied on second and
Ihird place finishes to pull the meet
out."
Winners on the day for the
visiting Danes included Joe Shore,
who won the 200 yard breastrokc in
2:26 and the 200 yard individual
medley in 2:12. Diver Bill Derkasch
placed first in the optional diving,
highlighted by his forward, oneand-a-half, somersault, pike position dive, which was given a sixand-one-half — six — six-and-onehalf awardings by the judges.
THHMIAK- "Evcrythings feeling better. That
lAiOtrnA,~
big week of working out after vacation sure helped a lot. The team
swam pretty well even though the
pool seemed slow —.maybe because
of the temperature of the water"
Every Sunday, Monday & Tuesday
mentioned Derkasch.
The Danes won both the relay

DRAGON SLAYERS: Danes Whip Cortland, Oneonta
Draft Protestors Speak Out
Two SUNYAC Wins Leave
Albany 12-2; Utica Sat,
Over 150 Rally
by Paul Schwartz
CORTLAND — A disciplined, poised Albany State
basketball squad pooled all their diverse resources last
night, and they were enough to put away a determined
Cortland team, 76-67.
On offense, it was the trio of guard Winston Royal
(20 points) and forwards Ray Cesare and Pete Stanish
(18 points each) that provided the Danes with enough
firepower to stifle the rugged Red Dragons. On defense,
it was an aggressive Albany second half zone, coupled
with some wild late-minute shots by Cortland guard
Tom Baez (21 points), that allowed the Danes to pull
away.
"This win puis us in a good spot," said Albany coach
Dick Sauers. "Our scoring was unbalanced for us, but
those guys happened lo have the shols. I'll take
whatever way wins."
Albany, now 12-2 overall and 4-1 in the SUNYAC,
led 40-35 at halftime, but after Cesare's juniper gave the
Danes a 48-41 advantage, Cortland reeled off six consecutive points, closing to 48-47. "They had the ball,
and they could've gone ahead," Sauers said. "They
didn't, and that was a psychological factor."
Guard Rob Clune found Stanish inside for a basket,
as the Danes opened up their largcsi lead, 64-51, with
7:20 remaining. Cortland closed the gap to 70-65 with
Gary Maltraw's short jumper, but Royal's burst up the
middle and Bacz's errant shot sealed the Albany victory.
On Tuesday, everything seemed
primed for an upset — all the classic
signs were present at University
Gym. The Danes were coming of/ a
tough overtime loss to Potsdam,
and their opponents, the Oneonta
Red Dragons, hardly posed much
of a threat. "When I looked
them in warmups, I thought they
might be able to be taken," said
Oneonta coach Don Flewelling.
"Albany didn't look really ready to
play."
For much of the first half, the
Danes did nothing to disprove
Flewelling's claim. Although lacking in talent, Oneonta's intense play
and puzzling triangle-and-two
defense held Albany in check, and

Vol. LXVII No. 4

Over 150 people held a peaceful
dcmonsiration at noon Saturday to
protest President Carter's plan to
reinstate registration for the draft.
The protest, sponsored by the
Albany Peace Coalition, was held
in front of the Broadway Post Office in downtown Albany in reaction to Carter's State of the Union
address on Wednesday.
A petition condemning the draft
registration was signed by 125 people according lo Capital District
Ami-Nuclear Alliance representative John Cutro,
"We only had a couple of days lo
organize it. 1
thought the
demonstration was very successful," said Cuiro.
"The ongoing goal of the Albany
Peace Coalition will be to develop
widespread opposition to the draft
and to stimulate action among the
people who will be most affected,"
said a spokesperson for the Coalition, Pat Beetle.
Despite adverse weather conditions, the protestors carried signs,

Women Cagers Fall Short, 58-47
by Amy Kunlor
Despite a valiant second half
showing, the Albany State women's
basketball team dropped their fifth
game of the season, losing 58-47,
Monday night against Hamilton
College at University Gym.
Hamilton took an early lead, and
kept scoring on the Danes. By the
half, Hamilton led, 30-11, and an
"upset" rookie conch Amy Kidder
led her Albany team into the locker
room. "I wish we could have
knocked off lite first 20 minutes of
the game," she said, attributing the
19 point Dane deficit lo poor

outscored Hamilton, 36-27, in the
second half. According to
sophomore team captain Laurie
Briggs, "The second half was probably the best basketball we played
all year."
Freshman Luanne LaLonde attributed the fine Dane third and
fourth quarter play lo "aggression"

led the team in scoring with 18
points, sinking 16 of them in the second half. Center freshman Theresa

According to Coalition member

Adams said, " W e oppose

"We applaud what Carter has
done in his handling of the hostage
situation, because military alternatives arc very dangerous in this
nuclear world," said Adams. She
added thai just as Carter realized
that military force wouldn't have

She staled that the Peace Coalition believes that preparation for
war leads to war.
"Our government should start
from the premise that war is not an
acceptable means to protect our interests. Our government is trying

Adams said.

Faces Life Imprisonment
Hearings to Investigate Past
by Susan Milligun
A former SUNYA student
recently convicted of third-degree
attempted robbery may face a life
jail sentence, according to Albany
County Disfict Attorney Sol
Greenbcrg.
While the maximum sentence for
the charge is four years imprisonment, Greenbcrg noted that the
previous criminal record of John
"Ritchie" Robinson may classify
him as a "persistent felony offender," making him eligible for
harsher punishment.
Robinson was charged in the
December 12, 1978 attempted robbery of a Central Avenue branch of
Home Savings Bank.
Robinson was further indicted on
charges of third-degree grand
larceny in the July, 1979 robberies
of Manpower, Inc. and City Service, both on Western Avenue. A
total of $750 was involved in these
incidents.
Albany County Court Judge
Joseph Harris will be conducting
hearings to evaluate Robinson's
background and habits. Harris will
determine whether Robinson is "in
need of extended incarceration" of
a minimum 15-25 years and a maximum of life Imprisonment,
"(Robinson) admitted to sniffing
glue at age seven, and using cocaine, heroin, and marijuana," said
Greenbcrg. "He I as a long juvenile
and criminal rect rd."
In reference to Robinson's past
record, Greenbcrg described Robinson as "the lowest of the low,"
During a court interrogation,
Robinson denied having committed
incest with his sisters. When asked
if he was guilty of 18 rapes, Robinson replied, "No. . .only three or
four."
Greenbcrg stressed that Robinson's confessed rapes are in no way
related to the recent rapes of SUNY
students in the Pine Hills "student
ghetto" area of Albany.
"These rapes occurred when
Robinson was in jail," Greenbcrg
pointed out.
Robinson's defense attorney Lou
Oliver declined comment.
