A wrestling season marked by
ouisianding individual efforts came
to a fining end at the Division I I I
Wrestling Nationals, as Albany
Stale captain Paul Hornbach placed
eighth at 177 pounds to become
Albany's firsi All-Amcrican since
1974-75.
Hornbach, and teammates Mark
Dallcy and Vic Herman all qualified
lot the nationals by placing In the
lop folir at the S U N Y A C ' s at Buffalo. Herman and Dailcy placed
fourth and Hornbach placed second. A fourth wrestler, Rob
Spagnoli, also placed fourth but
was not invited lo the nationals,
At the S U N Y A C ' s . Hornbach
breezed Into the finals, maintaining
liis undefeated record. W i l l i the
score 0-0 at the end o f the first
period, Hornbach injured his knee
early in the second period, but
finished the match, losing 7-5. The
injury was severe enough to require
the use o f crutches for four days.
He was back in shape for the
nationals at New L o n d o n , C o n n ,
two weeks later, however. A t the
tournament Dailey was eliminated
in the first round lo end his senior
season. Herman, a freshman, won
his first match, then lost Ihe second

won his first wrestle back bui lost
his second to be eliminated:
Hornbach dominated his first
match, 20-8. He then losl to the
eventual champion 8-4. He won his
two wrestle backs to assure his
eighth place finish. The following
day he losl twice but walked away

H o r n b a c h , always a perfectionist, was honored lo he an A l l A m e r i c a n , but also somewhat
disappointed. Moth Hornbach and
Albany wrestling coach Joe DcMco
agreed that Hornbach could have
done better.

him from achieving litis goal next

Always a fanatic with regard to

A claim by Davis last spring thai

Lisa Newmark in the SA presidential run-off election has sent shock
waves up and down the organization and resulted in one of Ihc most
widespread cover-ups In recent SA
history.
Davis told several Newmark supporters Ihal while he was assistant
election commissioner on Indian
Quad, he replaced 15 voles for
Newmurk's opponent, Sharon
Ward, with the same number o f
Newmark votes. Newmark subsequently won the election by a
90-votc margin.
Davis, who graduated in May
and currently lives in Oceanside,

The uncertain future of University programs and academic departments in the shadow of extensive
proposed budget cuts is very much
on the mind of SUNYA President
Vincent O'Lcary. In an effort to
evaluate the funding requirements
of these programs, O'Lcary appointed an eighteen-member advisory committee Wednesday night.
The group, consisting of students,
faculty and staff, will make recommendations to be used by O'Lcary
as he decides upon the distribution
of funds for the coining fiscal year.
All committee members, chosen
by O'Lcary in conjunction with the
University Senate Executive Committee, have previously served on
one of four advisory panels
(Academic Affairs, Business and
Finance, Research, University Affairs). The four groups were each

"This is the first time we've put
representatives of the panels
together to look at the campus,"
said O'Lcary. "This bus some implications. It gives us somewhat ofa
base relative lo what happens in the
legislature."
"Obviously, when a budget is

While O'Lcary is concerned with

Budget, he slresscs that the panel
findings may result in the injection
of funds into programs calling for
such action, Placing SUNYA programs ink) perspective will result in
financial additions for some and
reductions for others, he said.
"The Governor's budget plan has
cut ihe University," said Aimospheric Sciences Professor
Harry Hamilton, "The only thing
in cnieslion now is the amount.
They're certainly not going to
restore the money. If a panel Is
assembled to look at resources, then
obviously the panel will have to
look into cuts."
Although Birr claims that
O'Lcary has not set a deadline for
the rcceipl of a committee report,
he indicated lhat recommendations
will probably closely follow the
release of the slate budget.
"I think we're probably expected
to do the job fairly quickly, since
the expectations arc that the
legislature will approve the budget
by April I," said Birr. "In the 28
years that I've been here, however,
there have been a couple of years
when the legislature didn'l pass a
budget until sometime toward the
end of. May."
According lo Birr, committee
members will gain a broader
perspective of lite University as they
examine Ihe reports of panels with
which they were not originally involved.
"I, for example, will have the opportunity lo compare support services with business and finance," he
said.
Hirr claims that many programs
will probably remain at their current funding levels, experiencing
neither cutbacks nor endowments.
"Most of the areas should probably be stayed state," he said.
"It's obvious that there is not going
lo be any more money around and
we're going to have to examine Ihe
budget applications and wishes of
every office at the University."
Committee member Susan Sherman of SUNYA's School of Social
Welfare stressed the importance of
O'Leary's committee as "a way of
having faculty input into some very
difficult budget decisions."
Hamilton is confident thai Ihe
group will succeed in this objective.
"This is an advisory group. II, by
definition, will achieve its purpose," he said. "Its purpose is to
give advice lo Ihe President, It will
do lhat. It will meet; It will consider
material; it will give a repori.
Therefore, it has achieved its purpose of rendering advice."
"Everyone wants to keep the
University al Albany as strong as
possible," said Birr. "What can we
do with the limited resources
available lo keep the University as
strong and vital as possible?"

by Edmund J. Goodman
Judaic Studies Department professor Alan Yuler has been all but
officially denied tenure for his position by the department. The final
vole rests with SUNYA President
O'Lcary, whom Yuler believes will
also turn down his requcsl.
This theme denial has followed
right on the heels of the controversy
surrounding the lack of contract
renewal for Puerto Rican Studies
professor Juan Angel Silen.
Concerned students recently protested Silen's dismissal, citing unfair d e p a r t m e n t a l and administrative treatment of his position.
Yuler said he feels there will nol
be any similar student protests on
his behalf.
Yuler is planning to appeal the
decision sometime next October.

Rally Speakers Protest
Drafting Women and Blacks
h> Janice Relnharl
Women and blacks in Ihe military and the threat of nuclear war were
lopies highlighted at yeslerday's SUNY Peace Projeel anli-diafl rally in the
( K' lobby.
Both Albany Women's Center spokesperson Libbj Posl and SUNYA
student Howard Snaker saw the drafting of women and blacks as unfair
They argued lhal while both groups are discriminated against, they are
slill dialled tin an equal level with white males.
Posl said that women cannol "win equality through war." She pointed
out lhat 75 percent of military positions are closed to women.
She also nolcd lhat there are no women in the Pentagon — "nol even
secreiarics." She added that if "the male power siruciurc will nol trust a
woman with national security, why should (women) light a war?"
SUNYA student Howard Slrakcr argued lhat blacks have had a similar
experience, "Ulacks are victims of Americanization," he claims. Until
recently, blacks have been denied boih educalion and the right to vote, but
were always allowed to fight U.S wars, he added.
Snaker went on to say lhat while Blacks remain underprivileged in
many oilier ways, "Blacks arc 25 percent of your armed forces."
"We have no intention of being on the front lines," lie concluded.
Another speaker discussed the possibility of war on more general terms.
Student activist Terrianne Falcone proclaimed that "a war now would be a
war wilhuul winners."
"The possibility of a nuclear war is very real indeed," she said, stressing
the dangers inherent in the use of atomic weapons. Falcone warned lhat in
creased reliance on nuclear power will lead lo the importation of uranium
and a subsequcnl dependency on foreign resources comparable lo the current American petroleum situation,
Falcone also discussed the arms race in terms of Soviet-American rela
lions, calling nuclear power "a new variable in the equation of war."
'It's the mosi frightening thing lhal has ever happened to humankind,"
she said.

Nuclear Alert
Some zoo physicians and Nobel
prize winners have taken out a full
page adveriscment in 7Vie New
York Times warning President
Carter and Soviet Chair Leonid
Brezhnev of what they call the unparalleled horrors of nuclear war.
They claim that a nuclear war,
even a so-called "limited one,"
would result In death, injury and
disease on a scale that has no precedent in the history of human existence.
The ail warns that a single 20
megaton thermonuclear bomb exploded above an eastern U.S city
would create a fireball one-and-ahalf miles wide, with temperatures
of 20 lo 30 million degrees
fahrenhcil. According to the
message: "Everything in the
downtown area, the strcels and the
earth below and all the living tilings
would be vaporized, leaving a crater
several hundred feel deep."
It adds that: "Hospitals would be
destroyed and most medical personnel would be among the dead and
injured. There would be millions of
corpses. Food, air and water would
be contaminated. Survivors would
die from starvation dehydration,
radiation sickness and infectious."
The sponsors of the ad, an
organization called Physicians for
Social Responsibility, says tliey
hope to meet will) Carter and
Brezhnev to discuss the medical
consequences of nuclear war."

One 1953 memo Indicates that the
CIA went so far as to infiltrate
seances and other spiritual gatherings in an effort to locate individuals with true ESP or
telepathic powers.
As one CIA scientist put it: If it is
possible lo "identify the thought of
another person several hundred
miles away, the adaptation to practical requirements for obtaining
secret Information should not give
serious difficulty."
It is believed that CIA interest in
ESP continues to this day, although
agency officials refuse to comment
on the nature of such research.

What's Worth
Dying For?
Andrew Brooks
As the youth of America attempts to corns
to grips with the question of what 10 do in the
ev ent of ihe draft, the need for resolution of
the individual and group moral and practical
problems is becoming more and more urgent.
One of the most pressing issues is the question of "What is worth fighting for?"
Many young people, worried about the
draft, are quick to answer "Nothing is worth
dying for!" or more locuratejy, "Nothing is
worth risking m\ life for!" Bui upon reflection of the consequences of this attitude, one
can see that it is a dangerous and shortsighted one, indeed. For. who in his right
mind would prefer submitting to the whims
of foreign military might than enjoying the
protection of the U.S. Constitution?
Think of the consequences that would have
resulted if American vouih had refused to
fight in 1941. during the last grave threat lo
America's security as a sovereign nation.
Good 'ole Albany State would probabb no)
exist now. (lis large Jewish population never
having had the chance to be born, and the
others working as slaves for Germany or
Japan at best.)
At me otner end ol the spectrum is the
American folly in Vietnam. Here, clearly,
was a cause not worth dying for, as evidenced
by the incredible lack of motivation to fight
on the pan of the South Vietnamese people
(to the chagrin of Vietnam's once large
Chinese population).
However, to show a total defiance to the
U.S. government now because of its blunder
in Vietnam makes no sense at all; the stakes
involved in the present situation are much
too high. There does come a point at which
the price of passiviu in the face of nonaggression becomes too great to pay. Such a
time was in 1939, when a lack of cooperation
between England, France and Russia to stop
Hitler led to the fall of Europe, and the
resulting savage consequences. Lei us not be
deluded by those who argue thai Russia
merely fears her neighbors, remembering her
terrible losses of WWII. Preservation of
human life is just noi an integral pan of
Russia's expansionist strategy. What u

To think the Soviets will restrain
themselves after Afghanistan is to indulge in
a kind of wishful thinking that the world cannot afford.
For instance, Russia has invaded Iran four
times in this century alone, onlv withdrawing
after WWII in the face oi American pressure.
It is onlv for Moscow to know which country
it will consider as part ol its future orbit. The
Soviets, though, are ever more cautious and
economic fo their miliiarv aggression than
was Hitler; thev keep a careful eye on indicators of American inteniions, such as the
attitude of American youth.
Still, we would do well to show those in the
Middle East who owe their sovereignty to the

American troops to protect them. The logical
thing to do is to lei the front-line nations do
whatever thev can with their own manpower
while supplying technical assistance. We
must also demand that our Western European allies {?) do their share, as well as
Japan, who owes her great economic prosperity in pan to the fact that we spend
millions on unproductive arms thai protect
her from Russia.
To the Editor
Webster's dictionary defines rhetoric as using words and language effectively. Yet, in
the March 11 editorial, "Rhetoric on the
Home Front," one line in particular strikes
me as being an outrage to effective and
honest communication. "SUNYA board
rates have just been increased, has the food
quality done the same?" In light of the entire
editorial, it would appear that you are encouraging students to question those actions
that directly effect us, which in itself is great.
Yet here you intimated that the board rate
hike was not justified, and thai students
should be outraged and lake appropriale action. Did you boiher lo read Ihe article in the
previous issue of the ASP explaining why
board rates had lo go up? Thai social securily
laves and wages will be going up? As Ediior,
il is not your responsibility to know ihe fads
before voicing your opinion, even if il means
reading your own newspaper? 1 realize ihai
this M s only one sentence in ihe editorial, yel
il serves lo "bad mouih" UAS, which,
frankly, I am tired of hearing.
If the food is so terrible and ihete appears

National
Trust
When we found out Alexander Hamilton was an
adulterer we lost something. When we realized that the
Indians weren't the bad guys and had been brutally
mistreated by white settlers and the U.S. government we
lqst something. When we saw blacks getting clubbed in
the streets by fat white sheriffs and when we saw riots in
Chicago and Washington ovei a place called Vietnam we
lost something.
*
Some say we lostJinnocery e. Others say we gained insight. Whether something ».ew has or will replace it is
beyond our present ken. F ut something we once had,
held preciously, had a faiwiiih, trusted, swore by, died
for, that is gone.
It was nationalism: a commitment to the slogans, symbols, and artifices of the United States. Nationalism, a
stubborn belief, was often most rigorously revered by
those who were ignorant of, or ignored, the values, concepts, and ideals that the Founding Fathers expressed. It
is harder to sit down and understand Jefferson,
Hamilton, Madison, Adams, Paine, Franklin, and
Washington than it is to get up and march in a parade
waving the flag, singing the anthems, blessing the virgin
Statue of Liberty. An inevitable inverse ratio exists between nationalistic fervor and true understanding; the
more slogan swearing, the less appreciation of the ideas
in the Constitution; the more red, white, and blue, the
less Locke, Rousseau, and Pericles.
Yet today, in an interim between nationalistic periods,
we see true Revolutionary spirit in the Anti-Nuke, Conservationist, Anti-Corporate Tyranny and the other protest groups that most of us pass by in the Campus Center.
The freedom to dissent from popular belief, the willingness to accept change when necessary, and the opportunity to grow are the principles of Revolutionary
America.
Let's hope we have lost a naive and blind trust in the
superficial pomp which some have used to replace the
true American ideology. Our only hope for the future is
to return to the basic precepts of this still experimental
democrasy. We must commit ourselves to and respect
everybody's right to change, freedom, and opportunity.

College affords one with the unique experience of being in a four year fantasy world.
If we have problems, we've got about 10,000
fellow 18 to 22 year olds to sympathize with
us. With such homogeneity, It is nol uncommon to lose sight of what happens in the "real
world". When one dares venture off the uptown campus or out of the student ghetto,
there are people that exist who are
youngsters, old folks and who aren't worried
about midterms . . .
The sun thawed some of the frozen ground
that Monday morning, a break in the cold spell
that had plagued Albany. As I approached the
bus stop, I saw an old man knocking on the
window of a car parked at a red light.
" I miss my bus, 1 miss my bus," he said to
the driver. "All I want is a ride to the Price
Chopper." The driver shook his head and
pulled away when the light turned green.
The old man had a foreign accent, but 1
couldn't distinguish his native tongue. He
wore a dark overcoat and a grey scarf and
held his gloves In his hand. Supporting himself
with a can, he limped back to the sidewalk.

"Price Chopper is a few miles away," I said.
" Y o u shouldn't walk there."
"I know I know. But there is no bus for a
while. I ask the people for a lift, but they just
leave."
The light turned red and the old man hobbled to the first car.
"I miss the bus, can you give me a lift to the
Price Chopper? Please, I hurt my foot, It's only a few blocks away."
The driver, who was around the same age
as the old man, shook his head sternly and
pulled away.
The old man turned around and shrugged.
"Nobody cares. All I want to do is go shopping. It is nice out tnday. What bus you waiting
for, the SUNY bus?"
I nodded. " Y o u know I sent bolh my kids to

When he said lhat, it reminded me of a

stopped at a red light when I saw an old man
approach the car ahead of me. The driver
panicked and ran the light. The man came to
my car and asked me for a lift. I let him In.
"I'm only going a few blocks before I turn," I
said to him.

I drove into Ihe Veteran's hospital, a large

at the sky. Though I had passed the hospital

Defense officials say that without women, an all-volunteer army could not survive. Economical

women are making advances in Ihe area ol responsibilities. As in the other Jobs, women are

Titan Intercontinental ballistic missies. The Navy and Marine Corps are also expanding Ihe role
of women. Many are assigned lo intelligence and demolition units and to crews of non-combat
bessels such as destroyer tenders.
Yet the armed services, Ihe great equalizer. Is not so equal. In the Army, women must score
higher than men on tests for specific positions. Women are required to have earned a high
school diploma; nearly any male high-school drop-out can be admitted to the Army. Justification for these rules Is that since (ewer women than men apply, the Army can afford to be more
selective. Women are also barred from serving on Navy ships, inhibiting certain promotions. But
the greatest segregation factor — thai which caused controversy in Congress, that which
discourages many from supporting the drafting of women, that which frightens many from the
Equal Rights Amendment — is also Ihe most basic: women are not allowed In combat.

But times change and the ferverent na

fascists went on to accept a purge upon
itself which would eradicate all things
"un-American." Those years in the late
40s and early 50s were called the Red

Again, it Is the community, not the nation
as a whole, which is the object of loyalty.
( a f ' h e definition of a community is
necessarily broad. It may be a

Entropy to nationalism. It seems that
throughout history local groups united

protection and economic security. The
Pelopeneslal league is one example,
Rome Is another. Eventually these
kingdoms or federations become empires
which expand. Alexander's Hellenistic

Napoleon's Third Republic, the Ottoman
Empire, the Spanish conquests, the

matchmaking comic foils of the piece. Simon's
writing Is certainly at a peak when dealing with
George and Jennie, but the cast also deserves
a good deal of credit.
Jennie has the flashier part and Mason pulls
out all the stops. She runs the range of emotion from idyllic love to the desperate fear of
losing it. Mason who. while talented, has
never been the subtlest of actresses, handles
all the nuances with expertise. She seems
more relaxed than usual and she's so strong
ami wonderfully supportive that even when
the spotlight is somewhere else, she still keeps
making an Impression. If Mason gets more attention than Caan, it's only because of the
nature of the role, He hides all his feelings. So
instead of getting to go on the kind emotional
tirades Mason does, he just walks around
brooding and being introspective. This is not,
however, to fault Caan's performance, which

Nonethele*6, Caan's Is a fine performance
which, like Mason's, deserved an Oscar
nomination. With this, and The Last Married
Couple In America, Valerie Harper has been
trying to do two things: bury her Rhoda image, plus establish a film career. She's doing
well in both areas. Now that she's finally stopped playing dumpy repressed Jewish girls,
Harper is letting herself go and proving that
she can indeed be a fine comedienne. I've
never been overly fond of Joe Bologna as an
actor (he's a good writer though), and I'm not
quite sure why. Maybe it's because he always

the European and American slyles of Im

mixtures of Afro-American blues and European classical forms, and most Jazz styles lean
discernibly toward one or the other (the ex

groups such as Oregon). Although both were
European, Django and Grappelli embodied
this stylistic mix. Although Coryell is the only
American on young Django, the sound Is
upbeat American. The distinction is no longer
geographical, but philosophical. Nor Is It
limited to jazz; American symphonic music
also tends to be more brash, composers often
having the gall (!) to write parts for saxophones
and even an occasional washboard for that
down-home touch. The refinement of Silent
Feet is somehow consistent with the notion
many Americans have of European
cosmopolitan life. The exuberancy of Young

We urge you to read the front page, and read it carefully. The matter at hand is of
crucial importance and will affect the present framework of student leadership on
this campus. Let Student Association and your Central Council representatives
know how you feel about this issue.
According t o various members of SA, ballots were switched during last May's
run-off election between SA President Lisa Newmark and her opponent Sharon
Ward by then Acting Assistant Election Commissioner Mitch Davis. While Ihe
number of ballots involved apparently would not have affected the election's outcome, and while Davis has recently claimed that the ballot switching did not in fact
actually occur, it was the subsequent knowledge and cover-up of this incident by
high level SA officials (hat is the most shocking aspect of this horrendous affair.
Within hours after the incident, six officials learned of the alleged ballot fraud
and, under the direction of present SA Comptroller Craig Weinstock and SA Internal Affairs Chair Jim Mitchell, a consensus was reached to tell neither Newmark nor
the election commissioner. From this began the growth of a widespread cover-up
within the organization whereby both Weinstock and Mitchell (who both hold
powerful SA positions) failed to institute an investigation into the election fraud, instead opting for silence.
Over Ihe past ten months, member after member of SA has learned of the incident; all failed to question Newmark (who apparently still did not know) nor check
the charge's validity. This passive inaction by the very " l e a d e r s " entrusled by
SUNYA students to appropriate three-quarters of a million dollars of our tax money
and represent us in the academic community, can nol easily be pardoned.
Despite Mitchell's contention thai if Davis never switched ballots then no judicial
action need be taken, the harsh reality is that such a lack of ethical behavior by our
sludenl leaders in such a conspiracy musl be responded lo.
How a dozen leaders could morally justify withholding such knowledge from the
SA president puzzles us profusely. How Lisa Newmark never learned of the charade
thai her closest advisors were involved in forces us to question the control she has on
ihe association as a whole.
In an effort to combat the widespread Watergate mentality this cover-up has
fostered; to try to restore honesty and integrity as central components in campus
politics, the ASP recommends the following actions:
•The immediate resignation of Craig Weinstock as SA Controller. If only half the
information obtained concerning Weinstock's role in the cover-up is true, then there
is certainly little room for Weinstock in a leadership posiiion in SA. In addiiion to
conspiracy, leading a cover-up and neglecting the responsibility of an Investigation,
threatening students with physical violence is a part of polilics we had hoped had
been long layed to rest.
•The immediate resignation of Jim Mitchell as chairman of Internal Affairs as well
as his removal from both University Senate and Central Council. Like Weinstock,

In my mind Iherc is no excuse that can
justify the refusal of an administrator lo
speak wilh a student with Ihe complaints I
have outlined. 1 understand the difficulties
involved in the operation of your office, but 1
also strongly believe that some of Ihe people
who work there should seriously consider exactly for whom they are working lo serve. I
feel lhat in the spirit of service to students
and community that arc considered basic
foundations of this university, Ms. Farley
and yourself have certainly misplaced your
priorities and that although apparently
nothing can be done to help me, no other student should have lo be treated in the manner
in which I was treated. For the sake of
students of this university, 1 hope that in the
future actions such as those I have encountered will nol be repeated.
Sincerely,
Waller Slryker, Jr.

A Rafters Apology
To the Editor:
This letter is an apology to all those
students angered and inconvenienced by the
bus foul-up during the Stale Quad Rafters
Irip of Saturday, March K, 1980. The people
who payed their money with the intention of
having a fun time lhat night, were greatly
wronged. A bus company error had sent only
(wo buses for ihe trip instead of the prearranged four. Mistakes happen, however
litis one never should have!
To the people who made it to the Rafters
laler lhat night, I hope you all had a good
time, even though Ihe duration of lhat slay
was shorter than planned.
And lo the people who cancelled out, I
know the lickei refund could never make up
for a ruined evening.
This incident could have been avoided if
belter Intercommunication skills had been
present on the part of the bus company.
Again, we're sorry for the "royal" screwup.
Sincerely,
Bob Wirth
Slate Quad R.A,

he played a leading role in the cover-up, made a mockery of the Internal Affairs
Committee and showed the same blatant disregard for political integrity and honesty.
•Dismissal of Mark Lafayette from University Senate and Central Council. Though
not involved as heavily in the conspiracy, both Lafayette and Jim Castro-Blanco
were led like sheep by Mitchell and Weinstock. In addition, Lafayette and CastroBlanco have recently decided to run in this coming year's election for the positions
of SA vice president and president, respectively. Wc urge ihese two to withdraw
their names from consideration due to a displayed lack of leadership qualities.
•Unfortunately, little can be done lo the remaining students primarily involved in
the conspiracy. Davis, Ron Frank and Abbic Havkins have all departed from SA.
Lei llteir actions rest heavily on their consciences.
•Of the several SA members who learned of the incident at various times following
the Mav election, justice cries out but musl be tempered by reality; for lo decimale
the ranks of Sludenl Association would result only in students being the losers once
again. We sharply criticize their poor judgment in nol exposing it regardless of Ihe
time element and hope that they have realized that honesty musl be a major tcnel in
any polilican's political philosophy. Upon learning of ihe incident, Central Council
members should have pursued i( wilh a vigor and singlemindedness al all costs. A
cleansing of SA — nol silence — should have been (heir decision.
Il is lime for the legislative branch to regain ils independence so as lo assert itself
more In checking lite executive branch. The oalh taken by Craig Weinslock on
Wednesday as a new member of Council was a flagranl disregard for ibe role of the
different SA branches. This was turned into an even greater insult considering ihe
fact Ilia! a prime topic on (he agenda was (he election cover-up. Whal is an executive
leader doing in the legislative branch? And why wasn't his Induction postponed until
a proper investigation could be conducted?
The election process is a disgrace. It musl be lightened and heavily monitored by
impartial people al all limes. Under no circumstances should Ward or Newmark
campaigners have been allowed within throwing distance of those ballots. While the
question of whether Ihe ballot switching was " a j o k e " remains lo be answered, it
must be emphasized that it is not the principal issue. We have a conspiracy, a
resulting cover-up, and the apparent crumbling in the very ethical fiber of Sludenl
Association.
Newmark has recently appointed a commisssion lo investigate the incident. In
hoping lhat the findings arc fair and accurate, we ask that the results be open, public
and published. Newmark can and must prove herself lo be a strong and capable
leader. She should contemplate well the type of people she turns lo for help and advice. Choosing (he righl help at this junclurc will be Ihe true key to reconstruction.
Hopefully, this will all be done so SA can gel back lo the business of looking oul for
the interests of 15,000 students and readying for the new elections, only five weeks
away.

From The
Writings, [3
There is only one God and only one Truth.
That Truth has been revealed to man many
times. Each time men. have distorted it so
that a new revelation was required. Since
followers of older revelations often did not
believe the newer ones, one result of this process has been the forming ol many religions,
each with a fragment of God's truth mixed
with man-made ideas. The Writings claim to
be the revelation that 'gets it all together',
unifying all the Truth fragments and providing a fuller explanation of spiiitual reality
than has ever been given to man.
The divinely Inspired parts of the Bible are all
a vast parable, containing deep and
fascinating symbolic spiritual symbolic
meanings. Seen In light of theselnner meanings, the puzzling and apparently inconsistent statements of Scripture, its many apparently cruel and strange stories, and its
great.amount of apparently trivial detail all
take on a dramatically new aspect. In this
spiritual light, the Bible can be seen far more
clearly than ever before to be as full ol
goodness and profound truth as would bo expected In teachings
of the God of the
universe.
Creation Itself is 'a parable, a living physical
symbol of deeper spritual realities. The complex and beautiful relationships of physical
ecosystems are symbols of the even .more
complex and beautiful relationships of the
spiritual ecosystem, which in turn Is a
parable of God.

Spikers Come Closer, But FaU To West Point
by Paul Schwartz
After the tough- five game match
was over, the coach and players of
the Albany State volleyball team
were in agreement. They had just
been defeated by West Point Tuesday night in University Gym, and
the feelings on the Albany side were
verbalized by their coach, Ted Earl,
"We had a team meeting after the
match and we all felt that we could
have beaten them, and the closeness
of the scores proves it. It was a
disappointing loss."
Even feeling they should have
beaten West Point was a positive
situation for the Danes. Earl
described West Point as "probably
the number three team in the east,"
and they had already handed
Albany a convincing setback when
the two squads met earlier in the
season. This time, West Point
registered an 18-16, 13-15, 15-8,
7-15, 11-15 victory, dropping the
spikers' record to 9-3 for the
season.
S u r p r i s i n g l y , t h e closelycontested match did not start out
with either team displaying an
abundance of quality volleyball.
Although the: res in the first two
games were as tight as ossib \
there was no real oi
ding play,'
"Both teams started uii ..lowly,s'
said Earl. "The first Iwn names
were marked by errors by both
learns — stupid errors neither team
should have been making."
Despite the sloppy play, the
Danes could have put themselves in
a dominant position in the second
game. Albany had already won the
first game, and they led 8-2 in the
second. Another victory and the
Danes would have had West Point
on the ropes. But the visitors ran
off a string of points and were able
to take what Earl tabbed "the
pivotal game."
Both teams healed up in the next
three games. An aggressive Dane
squad kept West Point on the
defensive, winning the third game
with a solid performance.
"We played very well in the third
game," explained Earl. "We forced
ihcin into errors, and it was our
finest game all year."
Albany faltered in the final two

continuously diving to perfect all
aspects of diving. I spent a lot of
lime refining my dives and picking
the ones I'll use for the SUNYACs.
I'm very happy with the fifth place
finish in the one meter and I
couldn't be more happy with my
third in the three mcler event. Our
diving coach Bruce Sickles devoted
a lot of time and without his amazing knowledge and effort, 1
wouldn't have done half as well as I
did."
Moving on to the second day of
competition, Ahem set the first of
two new school records he personally broke as he won the consolation
finals, placing seventh in 1:48.71.
"I was kind of disappointed that I
missed the finals. 1 lost out by sixhundredlhs of one second. But, 1
put my mind to it and I'm really
happy to win the consolations,"
said Ahern.
Heler swam the 100 yard bulterfly in 54.89 to lake second in the
championship race. Heler also took
another second place finish, on the
same day no less, in the 100 yard
breastslrokc in 1:02.53, breaking
yet another Albany school record.
"It's the best one day performance
I've ever seen," said While. Teammate Shore placed fourth in the
same event to make both Hcter and
Shore qualifiers for the nationals in
the 100 yard breast-stroke. "I'm
very excited about the whole situation," said While. "We've never
had an All-American swimmer
from Albany and now these guys
have got that chance."
Also scheduled in Friday's
events, the 800 freestyle relay team
— Roberts, Hcter, Dave Zybala
and Ahern. As a team they placed
fifth in a time of 7:34.31. "It was a

three meter board, was highlighted
by Dcrkasch as he gave the Danes
an unexpecied ihird place.
The final event of the meet was
the 400 yard freestyle composed of
Hcter, Zybala, Ahern, and Roberts.
The team placed fourth in 3:22.04.
Unable to score for the Danes yet
a driving vocal force for Albany
was swimmer Kerry Donovan, who
summed up his feelings — present
and future, by saying, "As a
freshman it was a great experience
to be the only one at the SUNYACs
from Albany. My times have really
improved immensely over the
course of the rigorous season and
I'm looking forward to next
season's competition as Albany
strives to place even higher next
year at the SUNYACs at Binghamton."
The final day of competition
opened up with Ahern's second
school record in as many days as he
got a third in the 100 yard freestyle
event in 49.36 seconds. Ahern commented on his record and compel ilion overall: "I thought that we
could break some school records
here at Potsdam. The competition
really fired us up and made winning
limes record times."
Bonawitz repeated his fourth
place finish in the 100 backstroke
with another fourth in the 200
backstroke in 2:06.84. "Steve's two
fourths was a truly tremendous and
outstanding effort," said White.
A Heter-Shorc combination placed fifth and sixth, respectively, in
the 200 yard breaslstroke. "Frank'
and I had some real stiff competition in the race, especially from the
two Polsdam competitors. I'm kind
of disappointed with my sixth
although 1 did give il my best shot,"
said Shore.
The second diving event, the
Assistant Coach Jeff Kennedy
summed the whole season up by
saying, "I've never been more proud of a bunch of guys. They all
came out here to do something and
they did it."

Earl called the fifth game "a carbon copy or the first game."
Albany found themselves trailing,
11-7, but four consecutive Dane
points evened the score and shook
West Point. "We forced them to
call a time out after we lied it u p , "
said Earl. West Point then tallied
the next three points, and alter four
side-outs, secured their victory,
15-11.
"1 thought we served them excep-
tionally well," commented Earl.
"In the games we won we were able
to serve the ball to their poorer
passers. I felt Gary Becker played
well — he made a lot of blocks, and
Rob Harrington also did a good
job. West Point was not able to
take advantage of his height like
they did the first time we played
them."
After facing Springfield yesterday, the Danes host Cornell and
Syracuse tomorrow. Syracuse
recently won the B-open in Cortland, and Cornell is "a good,
quality volleyball team," according
to Earl. "They are very small, but
they arc quick and they play good
defense. We will have to play well
to beat them."

Swimmers SUNYAC Finish "Major Step Foward"
by Jeff Schadoff
"Not only an Albany State
record-breaking performance but a
major step forward," said coach
Ron While in summation of his
men's swim (cam's fourth place
showing at the SUNYAC championships last weekend in Polsdam.
The Danes finished a three-day
tournament with a personal recordbreaking total of 203 points. "Last
year we came home with 155poinls.
I'm ecstatic over this year's
results," said While.
Cortland won the entire mecl
with a score of 424, followed by
Gcneseo with 396, Polsdam (361),
Albany (203), University of Buffalo
(149), Binghamton (136), Oswego
|i07), Fredonia (76), Buffalo Slate
(56), and rounding oui Ihe field of
len was Brockpon with 31.
Competing in Ihe championships
lakes much more preparation than
most people could ever imagine.
Each day of competition included
excrutiating menial preparation,
and (he Dane swimmers had only
one thing in mind — to swim like
ihcy never did before.
Respective coaches loaded each
of their entries in each particular
event so as lo gel the greatest maximum results. II has lo be noted thai
the meet spanned three successive
days, and swimmers, so as to be
able to maximize (heir efforls lo
each race involved, were limited lo
a physic.illy maximum level of out-
put in races; usually a maximum
Ihree races a day.
The most eminenl psychological
preparation for Ihe meet is the actual shaving of Ihe hair on the body
highlighted by the ultimate — shaving the head. "Shaving makes your
body smoother. It makes your skin
very much like that of a porpoise,"
said Dane swimmer Frank Heter.
"Shaving ihe hair on your body exposes Ihe nerve endings by shaving
away ihe inilial layer of skin. The
waier goes over your skin giving
you a belter, and definitely the
uliimaic, feel in the water."
To give an indication of how important shaving Ihe head was lo the
swimmers competing in ihe
SUNYACs — Ihe cnlire learns of
bolh Corlland and Polsdam along
wilh a vasi majority of Gcnesco's
squad shaved I heir heads. The lone
individual for the Danes was Joe
Shore.
Gelling down lo Ihe hard facts,
ihe festivities opened Thursday
morning for Ihe day's preliminaries
which were held each morning for
Ihe Ihree days lo determine who
would qualify for I lie finals 'held
each evening.
Shore scored Ihe firsl points of
Ihe meel for the Danes as he caplured llih place in ihe consolation
finals in Ihe 200 yard individual
medley in 2:08.69.
In the 50 yard freestyle, Albany
placed three in Ihe lop 12 as Tom
Roberts look 12th in 23:51, Dave
Zybala placed 10th in 23.35 and
Kevin Ahern took an impressive
fourth in 22.58. "I was really happy
to finish that high," said Ahem,
"My goal was lo jusi make the
finals (the top 6 qualifiers)."
The 400 yard medley relay —
Sieve Bonawitz, Helcr, Shore, and
Ahem, proved to be a compelitive
combination as Ihcy placed third in
3:45,39. The lime enabled them lo
break the old Albany school record
in Ihe event and ink their names in
Ihe record book. "Even Ihough my
time was nol a solid showing, il was
a good leam e f f o r t , " said
backstroker Bonawilz. Helcr fell
lhal it was " a tough race.
Everybody had pretty good split
limes. Even though the medley was
seeded firsl coming inlo ihe
SUNYACs, we mighi have been
overanxious."
Dick Sauers had been wrong, but
he admitlcd his error readily, even
happily. You see, Sauers misjudged
the chances of his 1978-80 Albany
State baskelball squad, and now,
after the season was over, he
acknowledged his miscalculation:
Sports
Analysis
"I'd never thought we could win
that many games," he said. "I
thought we had a real chance al
winning ihe conference, a chance lo
go to the NCAAs. But lo say that
we would win twenty-one games —
I just couldn't see any way that we
Kelvin Jones
(1'hutit: Steve i;\Wn)
would win twenly-one games."
Bui Ihey did. And Sauers, whose
coaching surpassed his predicting,
guided Ihe Danes to their 21-6 campaign, a second place finish in Ihe
