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

(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
SUNYAC East, and also a playoff
appearance. It was accomplished
wilh no star performer — no Dane
averaged 14 points a game, and six
different playe s split high-scoring
honors during Ihe season. Despite
Ihe cliche, Iherc's no gelling around
il — il really was a leam efforl.
Before Ihe season, Sauers set
down certain necessilies — things
lhaLwould have to happen ill order
for Ihe Danes lo win. These included a successful return by guard
Winston Royal, a combination of
poslmcn to offset the loss of Barry
Cavanaugh and Carmelo Verdejo,
and added scoring punch by
relurnecs Ray Cesare and Rob
Clunc. Like magic, Sauers waved
his hand, and ihey all became
realities:
• With ihe return of Royal from ihe

Ihe hands of the speedy 5-9 captain
usually provided positive results.
Royal finished up his career as tlie
Danes' leading scorer for ihe season
(13.3), and his assist total of 133
was ihe second highcsi in Albany
history. Although his shooting fell
off a bit as Ihe season wore on,
Royal was there when Albany needed him most — early in the year.
"Winston's return was obviously
important, particularly in Ihe first
half of Ihe season," said Sauers.

well-deserved fifth in the one mclcr

performance. His diving is a big
breakthrough in Albany Siaie diving," said While. Dcrkasch commcnlcd on his efforls by explaining

Swedish Nuke Vote
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) Sweden's voters, with ThreeMile Island on Iheir minds, willdccide March 23 whether
Ihe coumry's half-completed twelve planl nuclear power
project should be finished or scrapped. The referendum lias
divided the people and Iheir political parlies and sparked a
mud-slinging media war. Sweden began ils construction
program jusi five years ago but already has six plants in
operation and the oilier six compleled or partially built. In
the year since Ihe Three-Mile Island nuclear accident In
Hurrisburg, Pa., the issue has become something like a na• tional obsession. Swedes have been deluged with propaganda from all sides and appear confused by the not very clearcut choices Ihey are offered. Polls indicale a close race.
Voters must choose among three proposals — two of which
arc essentially the same — or casl a blank ballot. The deci• sions lo continue or lo slop within ten years a program that
ihe coumry's major political parlies agreed on five years
ago — one of the world's mosl ambitious programs per
capila. Now the parlies have come up with differing proposals, and some unusual alliances have formed..Cenlcr
Parly Premier Thorbjorn Falldin, who heads the country's
first non-socialisi government in four decades, has joined
forces with Ihe Communisis and anti-nuclear environmentalists on ihe issue. Social Democratic opposition leader,
former Premier Olof Palme, calls the referendum "a lesi
for democracy." He joined conservative leader Gosia
Uolunan in condemning what he called "a wave of unbridled intimidating propaganda" from ihe ami-nuclear campaign. The energy issue, very complicated technically, was
not supposed lo have been subject lo a plebiscite at all. Bui,
after fears were raised by the Three-Mile Island nuclear accident, politicians chose to give the issue 10 the people.

"I think this has been going on a
long lime," said sophomore David
Stern. "And this is just Ihe lip of
the iceberg. SA ia a complementary
society, anyway. This doesn't surprise me — as I see it as 'business as
usual'. Il just goes lo show ihat
[here's no sense of responsibility or
accountability. Nobody's taking
this seriounly."
"The thing thai really bothered
me," Slcrn continued, "was the
guy who said he'd do it all again.
Sympathy
He had no remorse al all. He probably doesn't even think he did
anything wrong."
Sophomore Joe Williams said he
was not surprised al Ihe cover-up
either. "After the fiscal crisis last
year," he said, "I'm not surprised
al all. It was kind of a precursor tot
his year's crisis. I've come lo expeel
il."
Oilier students interviewed,
however, did not expect it.
"I fell surprised il could happen
in our siudeni government," said
junior Roland Shar.. "I've come lo
expect it on a government level, but
I didn't expect il al our school."
Cancelled
Due lo lack of siudeni response, CUP. advlscmenl 111 I hi
quads will not be continued for Ihe remainder of iln
semester.
"Al this lime, we arc feeling fruslraied and disappointed
with ihe dismal siudeni turnout. We only had Iwo or line
undergraduates per quad taking advantage of this service,
reports CUB Director Stanley Schwartz,
According to Schwartz, several advisors from Ihe Centci
for Undergraduale Education went to each quad for several
weeks beginning in February to assist students with
scheduling problems. Each advisor had previously seal
each undeclared major a letter informing him of the proposed plan, and siudeni response was enthusiastic.
However, siudeni showing was not as large as anticipated.
Schwartz said, "this particular venture did nol seem like a
good use of our lime."
^B^^
"Perhaps we were violating the students' sense of privacy
on ihe quads," said Vice-President of Undergraduale Affairs Helen Desfosscs. "Maybe they did nol want academic
concerns interfering with their residcnl life."
However, Desfosscs is optimistic about reinstating thi
service in ihe future. "These quad visils were an attempt in
personalize CUE," she said. "Although we have been
delivering good service here in Ihe office, thai does nol rule
oui oilier possible Innovation."

Newsday Comes lo SUNYA
All you Long Islanders finally have a chance lo buy your
hometown paper, Newsday, on campus.
According lo siudeni Hon Schildkriiul, who Initiated the
project, SUNY-Folletl Bookstore began selling the paper
iwo weeks ago "lo give students an opportunity to read the
paper they're at home with."
"The market of students from Long Island is a large
one," he said, "and Ibis gives them the opportunity to keep
up with ihe Long Island news."
Sehlldkraul said ihe idea was an Immediate success.
"Two weeks ago, the bookstore started out with a dozen
copies and ihey sold out,in 15 minutes."
Since then, he said ihe number of copies ordered has
gone up steadily. "We'll order as many papers as the
students demand."
I think Ihey lost themselves in
their own power," he added.
"They're our representatives and
they're responsible for us. Now
"there's a problem concerning trust.

Quad Advisement
CHICAGO (AP) Representative John H. Anderson accused Ronald Reagan of desperation tactics for inviting him
put of Ihe Republican parly, while Senator Edward M.
Kennedy marched Monday for whal he conceded is close lo
a losl cause in his campaign — the Illinois presidential
primary. On the eve of ihe contest all entries have called a
watershed lesi of strength, Reagan, Anderson and former
U.N. Ambassador George Bush roamed Chicago and Ihe
slate in a final quesi lor voles. Kennedy was marching with
Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne in Ihe Si. Patrick's Day Parade.
Kennedy and his wife also went to Mass with the mayor, a
key ally in his challenge lo President Carter. But Kennedy
virtually conceded thai he will lose the popular vole in
Tuesday's primary. In an eleciion-eve television interview,
he said he is most hopeful for a strong showing in the
delcgale-selection phase of ihe contest. The popular vole is
advisory; delegates are elected separately. On a raw and
rainy campaign day, Anderson and Reagan did some handto-hand vole hunting at Chicago commuter slops while
Bush loured the stale in an effort lo boosi his loitering
campaign. The big parade stepped off in controversy, since
ihe mayor al first refused lo invite President Carlcr lo
march, then relented and asked hini al Kennedy's urging.
Carler declined, remaining in Washington as he has
throughout the campaign. Vice President Waller P. Mondale was his stand-in campaigner in Illinois, as in early conlests. Cartel's wife Rosalyn went lo New York for the St.
Patrick's Day parade there, where Democrats vole in
another big primary election next Tuesday. Reagan has suggcslcd that Anderson, Ihe liberal congressman from
Rockford, 111., niighl be more Dcmocral than Republican.
Anderson called thai a "desperation, last-minute election
charge."
Mayor Found
Jurva, 61, a live-in handyman employed by Mrs. Smitli and
her 91-year-old husband, pleaded innocent Monday and
was jailed following his arraignment for lack of $25,000
bail. Police said Jurva was seen leaving the Smith's home
shortly after the 10 a.m. shooting. Neighbors called police
after the mayor began screaming for help from a second
floor window. "I was so frightened," saida neighbor who
heard the shouts. "I went out in bare feet with just my
housetjoat on and heard her shouting 'Please - Help Help.'" Word of the shooting spread quidkly through the
community of 8,000 residents. Handy, whom the 66-yearold Mrs. Smith defeated in the March 4 election, said he
didn't "even know how to understand il," Neighbors said
Jurva had been living in the Smith's home for several years.
Jurva "helped Mrs. Smith a lot," said Arrielta Demar, the
Smith's housekeeper. "He was a lot of help to Mr. Smith
100,"she said. "When she had lo go lo City hall he would
sit with him."

Panel Discussion Focus
On Women's Safety
by Aron Smith
This is the first of an Albany Student Press series detains with the
problems encountered by SUNYA
students in association with the Pittman Hall dormitory in Loudonville. The facility was closed in
December,
Grassy fields. Great football and
soflball games. Close friendships.
And isolation , filth, and vandalism.
This is Ihe way former residents
of Pitlman hall have described what
was until recently their home away
from home. The facility is located
, off Route 9 in Loudonvillc, approximately six miles from SUNYA's
uptown campus. The dormitory, an
adjacent gymnasium, and 36 acres
of laud comprise the campus of Ihe
abandoned Saint Agnes School for
Gills.
Ill Ihe spring of 1978,the vacant
facility was considered for possible
lease as a means of easing the siu-
deni housing shortage which has
recurred each fall in recent years.
The decision lo lease Ihe school property front the Epicsopal Diocese of
Albany came one semester following a University decision nol lo
renew a lease witli ihe Country
Squire Mold. Following difficulties
ranging from improper healing and
Insufficient room furniture lo irregular bus runs and disputes over
the handling of fire safety violations, only a handful of students
opted lo relum lo ihe motel for

students indicated preferences for
remaining al the facility through ihe
spring of 1980. Isolation, unsanitary conditions, lack of repairs
and maintenance, and the dormilory's alcohol policy were ihe
primary reasons cited by students
for leaving I'itiman Hall.
Isolation: Pro unci Con
While many former residcnis of
Pitlman Hall found the isolation of
the site attractive, iherc were others
for whom inadequacies in* the bus
link to the uptown campus far
oul weighed any pastoral advantages offered. Transportation difficulties have been cited by SUNYA
Director of Residences John Wclty
as the reason for closing Pitlman
Hall.
"Il was great," said senior Nick
Vlsbcck of the facility. "We'd walk
oui the back and hit a few balls, sit
on the grass. It was a beautiful
place."
"I know people who hated it ihe
first few weeks," said sophomore
Peggy Price. "It was almost like
camping. So who cares if you failed
out o[ school?"
"Il was almost like you weren'i
living in a dormitory," said
sophomore Lou Pcluso. "The atmosphere was really nice. Bui the
buses were a problem because of the
gaps between the runs. If you missed your bus, you missed your class.
You couldn't count on gelling the
nexl bus like you can here [on
Alumni Quad)."
"You jusi had lo live by the
schedule," said former .Piitmau
Hall resident Raymond Rcmy.
The Pitlman bus runs were divided between SUNYA mini-buses
(daytime) and state-owned vans
(evenings and weekends). According to Welch, one-quarter of these
runs were driven by students. "It
was a matter of scheduling and
making sure thai everyone would
show up for ihe runs," he said.
"Unfortunately, some of the
Students — via a test of having to go
home — wouldn't show up. At
times, people were stranded at the
Circle. Ihe Motor Pool was always
tin schedule, It was ihe van parts of
il which were studeni-run."
Weekend Van Runs Even Worse
While most students found the
one-hour gaps between weekday
runs tolerable, weekend gaps of up
to two hours were ihe subject "of
repeated complaints.
"On Ihe weekends you were virtually stranded there if you didn't
have a car," said Re my. "There
were so few buses,"

A Child's War
Are you ready for lalking dolls
that will carry on complete conversations? Or lor armies o f toy
soldiers that will fight intricate battles at the verbal Instructions of a
child?
According lo The Los Angeles
Times, these and similar gadgets are
expected to be in the toy siorcs of
the 1990s.
Tlw Times says thai leading toy
makers are already experimenting
willi computerized dolls capable of
responding lo virtually any question
asked by a six-year-old owner.
What's more, the newspaper says,
these dolls of ihe future may be
built so thai they will respond lo only one voice — that of their child
owner — while ignoring all others.
The 'Times says that one inventor
— who asked not 10 be identified —
is working on toy soldiers dial can
be marched Into battle and
deployed against opposing armies,
all at Ihe instruction of a human
voice.

According to Pacific News, the
Army currently has a serious shortage of personnel in such mid-level
j o b s as " A v i a l i o n
Repair
Specialist," " E l e c t r i c i a n " and
" T a n k Mechanic."
Since Ihe old draft was ended in
1972, ihe number of blacks in lite
Army has Increased by 103,000,
while Ihe number o f whites has
declined by approximately 400,000.
Even ihough 30 percent of Ihe
Army is now made up of blacks,
only 6.1 percent of the officer corps
is comprised of black men.
Pacific News suggests thai reinsliliuing Ihe dral'l would enable
ihe Army lo induct while men with
technical backgrounds and assign
iliein lo Ihe higher levels of the Army.
li would reportedly also enable
ihe Army to continue to enlist
blacks as infantrymen and foot
soldiers where they would end up

I n the Ediior:
Having read the ASP article regarding the
l ° 7 " runoff election and Ihe fiery editorial
regarding the same topic, I find it necessary
lo clarify my lole In the mailer. I also feel
compelled lo air my feelings regarding these
events.
Upon hearing the story of Ihe alleged
tampering from Jim Castro-Blanco (a story
thai as far as I could tell was several limes
removed by the time I was told), I was
tremendously upset and confused. I did not
know whai to say or do, and walked around
Lisa's parly that niglu in a daze, mulling the
thing over in my mind. Shortly afterward,
Jim Mitchell, who (he said) could tell from
my distressed look that I had beard, summoned me lo the now-famous " m e e t i n g " in
Lisa's suite. Your account of what followed
is essentially correct, with Iwo exceptions:
1) I do not remember agreeing to do
anything at the meeting except to await the
election returns. I " c o n s p i r e d " wilh no one.
2) Craig Weinsioek later apologized for his
threat, However, he bad siill made it and I

Firsi, I was, as your article staled, seared
by the threat. Second, and no less Important,
was the fact Ihai Lisa was nol responsible for
any alleged tampering, Were a new election

Pissed At SA
To the Editor!
Well, It's surely splattered all over the
front page. Readers will invariably see il
before they gel io the editorials, ihcse last
slabs of frustration.
As the "Quad-Organizer" of Sharon
Ward's Colonial campaign I cannot say il is
vindication I feel. A f i c r all, we losi didn't
we? For those of us connected wilh Sharon
Ward, ihe news of election tampering by the
opposition is only a bitter-sweet reminder
thai the people we had, worked for and w i l h ,
were the best.
As an acquaintance of Lisa Newmark all I
can feel is sorry. Thai her workers, her
" f r i e n d s " , perpetrated these shenanigans
(which were ironically unnecessary) behind
her back, can only be an overwhelming
disappointment lo her. With friends like
thai....
As a student, I'm pissed off, Our so-called
leaders, who pull this nonsense and then
complain about sludent apathy, have lost
iheir right io represent us and have Jeopardized the credibility of those In SA who are conscientiously committed,

A State of Bliss
r j ' h e Proctor's Theatre in Schenectady
• • has undergone renovations recently
that have left it one of the.most elegant
theatres in the Capital District, and it was Indeed an amicable setting for the music of the
Bill Evans trio and Oregon this past Saturday
night. The show was the first jazz bill to play
the Proctor's since the renovation, and was
also the'flrst put on by the Production Company, a new promotions agency based In the
theatre. Aside from a late start (the musicians
were late) and a too-quick segue to taped
music after the finale, the concert was
everything one could hope for.

Bill Evans Is just about a walking history of
modern jazz, having recorded profusely in his
twenty-five years as a jazzman, from the
seminal Kind of Blue LP with Miles Davis and
John Coltrane to extensive work with his
various trios. The newest Incarnation of the
Bill Evans trio Is ah exciting one, and much of
the excitement is generated by bassist Mark
Johnson, a flamboyant sololsl with a boyish,
yet Intense (ace. His solos were caplivatlngly
structured, erasing the bit of tightness he
showed during the opening number. Despite
the hubbub generated by Johnson's performance, it was Bill Evans who made things
click. After twenty-five years, his post-Bop
style Is not stale, merely refined, and there is
no sign of Bill Evans letting up. If Saturday is
any indication.

Oregon was a truly happy bunch. Maybe it
was in part the relief of having finally wrestled

piece from their Roots in the Sky LP, but on
ending that song, pianist Ralph Towner and
bassist Glen Moore broke Into wide smiles. In
fact, they were smiling throughout much of
the performance. This buoyant mood
manifested Itself In other ways as well: Colin
Walcott's trancelike kalimba-playlng dance;
Paul McCandless' bouncy oboe, soprano sax,

It turned out that this was a fitting prelude to
the show because It foreshadowed the energy
and power which was to be generated Ijy the
band. The Pretenders came onstage to play a
set of music which plugged pop into a Knolls
nuclear reactor for a truly electrifying effect.
Their music incorporated everything from R &
B in "Brass in Pocket" to heavy metal In
"Private Life." One explanation for their wide
range of music is thai Chris Thomas, the producer of their album, has worked successfully
with everyone from Procol Harum to the Sex
Pistols. His Influence on The Pretenders was
certainly apparent in the show, as was thai of
Nick Lowe, who produced the song "Stop
Your Sobbing."
played guitar, but also succeeded In arousing
the desires of some of the more drunken male
fans near the stage.
The rest of the band were also pretty well
suited lo their respective instruments. Pete
Farndon's bass thundered on "Space Invader," and James Honeyman Scott's lead
guitar provided the necessary complement to
Hynde's hoarse vocals, especially on
"Precious." Drummer Martin Chambers contributed that al! too familiar, but nevertheless
essential, consistently pounding beat which
has become a trademark of punk rock.
Naturally, the audience frenzy led to a three
song encore'which left fans dralhed but, alas,
unsatisfied.
Opening (or The Pretenders was a band
called The Proof, the members of which proved that weak vocals, an over-amplified sound,
and a bassist who tried his best lo stand like

century; still, Strl b'berg should have reaped
he was being dull Ultimately, A Dream Play
can only be viewed as the product of «i
puritanically simplistic sensibility, It reminds
one of the temper tantrum an adolescent
bridegroom might throw upon discovering
that the honeymoon is over.
There is a strange unevenness in lone. A
few scenes are marvelously funny and effective, like those with the four academics:
theologian, philosopher, scientist and lawyer,
all refuting each other's words endlessly. In
these scenes Strindberg illustrates an idea,
rather than merely staling It. Unfortunately,
we are usually told, in the most mundane
fashion, that human life is painful. The
daughter of the god Indra — a female Christ
figure — walks around saying: "Being human
is hard!" or "Being human is impossible!" So
I've heard.
We are told again and again that love brings
about the sweetest joy and the must hitter suffering. Again, this is a tiresome and simplistic
view, brought emphatically home by a trite
scene in which a honeymooning couple
decide to commit sulcfcfe, rather than see
their passion fade. We have lo put up with
more than one such couple, stumbling or
waltzing through the play; and disappointment
in romantic love becomes the play's central
thematic complaint. There is no escaping,
however, the feeling that this view of happiness and its converse comes from a rather
juvenile world view.
The big question Is why SUNYA chose to
do A Dream Play. It must have had real shock
value when it was first produced, but is that
necessarily a virtue? Clearly, audiences then
were not so accustomed as we are to squaring
off in the theater with the essential defects of
human love and family life. Then too, before
the advent of ihe bomb, people were not so
obsessed with their mortality — or at least they
were bothered by it in a less collective way.
Our era informs us incessantly about impen
ding doom: we're a bit numb to the message.
Indeed, contemporary audiences have been
confronted with a flood of black questions in
the theater and the cinema. For one thing,
there is the post WW 11 French Theater which
poses many of the same questions Strindberg
raises, but in a far more arresting manner.
What it comes down to is that A Dream Play
does not age well. By the time the spectors

Prior to the show I heard many different

Albany Loses To Nemesis
Springfield;
Match With Cornell, Syracuse
by Larry Kahn
Albany Stale volleyball fans were
cheated out of an afternoon of exciting volleyball by the weather on
Saturday. The triangle match at
University Gym scheduled against
Cornell and Syracuse was forced to
be cancelled after the Syracuse team
bus had a minor accident and the
Cornell bus was waved off Ihe road
by the state police because of zero
visibility road conditions.
"Hoih coaches called me and wc

volleyball coach Ted Earl. "We
didn't want to have a repetition of
ihe U.S. Boxing team incident." He
added that "the cancellation could
be a blessing in disguise for us. It
will give us a chance lo take a
breather and think about our ncxi

has yet to be rescheduled.
Last Thursday Albany attempted
lo end a four year losing streak
against Springfield College, including a defeat curlier this season,
but failed amid controversy as their
record dropped lo 9-4. The match
went four games with scores of
15-10, 11-15, 14-16, 12-15, In
Albany's second straight loss of the
week. Earl saw a pattern emerging
in both of these tough losses. "Wc

Ihcn we went on lop In the second
game. Then we lei up. Wc seem to
get ahead and then give up u little
and let the other team catch up."
About Thursday's match, Earl
said thai "Springfield is basically a '
one-man team. They had one player
who we couldn't stop all night long.
He made us look bad out there by
making really good plays." Earl felt
that the team could have and should
have won by working around him,
and he shouldered much of the
blame himself. "I have to lake
some of ihe credit for losing il," he
said. "Wc could have adjusted our
serving pattern by serving away
from him. Uuforumalely, we didn't
do il. I just didn't icll Ihem what lo
do."

Council Censures Members
Calls For No
by Andrew Carroll
and Michele Israel
Central Council voted Wednesday night lo censure and demand
written apologies from an
unspecified number of its members
t'oMheir involvement in the alleged
ballot-stuffing scandal that marred
last May's presidential run-oil'election.
The decision came in response lo
Ihe suggestions of SA President
Lisa Newmark's Special Presidential Commission which called for
the resignation of four council
members cited as the most heavily
involved in the scandal.
Council's vote was prompted by
the recent discovery of an alleged
election cover-up which began lasi
May and included many prominent
SA members.
SA Controller Craig Weinsiock,
University Senator Mark Lafayette,
and the Internal Affairs Chair Jim
Mitchell were ihe alleged key
leaders of the scandal, after
former Indian Quad assistant election commissioner Mitch Davis.
Davis apparently replaced 15 votes
for candidate Sharon Ward wilh ihe
