Close to ninety students met
Tuesday night with Plant Department Director Dennis Stevens to
discuss problems, causes, and possible solutions to bus service
"inadequacies."
Off-Campus Association Director Mark Dunlca and Student
Union Chair Jim Tierncy cited
women's safety and inconvenience
as two of the major problems caused by the change in bus schedules.
"The Pine Hills Molester has hit
over 50 times," said Tierncy, "and
now people are waiting at Draper
alone, sometimes for 25 minutes.
Also, the buses are not stopping at
requested corners after 6 o'clock as
they did last year."
Tierney and Dunlea also expressed discontent over bus overcrowding and the elimination of
direct Wellington routes and bus
runs to the Trailways station.
The students felt that the University was not upholding its responsibility to the students.
"If the University can't provide
adequate housing on campus, it
should at least provide adequate
bus service," said Dunlea.
One student remarked that "if
they're going to have a downtown
campus, they should provide the
facilities to run it correctly."
Stevens explained that "the

Cancer Warning Issued
WASHINGTON (AP) Reserpine, a drug widely used to
control high blood pressure, causes cancer in animals and
may pose a similar risk to humans, the National Cancer Institute said Thursday. The institute said a review of its
previously disclosed animal tests concludes that reserpine
causes breast cancer in female mice, testicular cancer in
male mici and adrenal gland tumors in male rats. The tests,
in which animals were given the drug in feed for 103
weekends, do not prove that reserpine causes cancer in
humans. But they indicate it is "a potential risk to man,"
the institute said. More than a million Americans take
reserpine in various forms to treat mild hypertension and
millions more have use it in the past. Industry figures indicate reserpine sales represent about one-third of the
market in drugs used to treat high blood pressure.
Cuba Returns Hijacker
MIAMI (AP) Federal officials jumped at the Castro
government's first offer ever to return a plane hijacker
Thursday, sending a U.S. jet to Havana to pick up the two
most recent air pirates within hours of Cuba's announcement. Dennis Feldman, a Washington spokesman for the
Federal Aviation Administration, said an FAA Lockheed
Jetstar was sent from Washington to Havana late Thursday
morning. The plane, carrying two pilots, a light technician
and an FAA sky marshal from Washington and two sky
marshals and a U.S. marshal picked up in Atlanta, was
schedule to return Thursday night. The hijackers were to be
flown directly from Havana to Columbia, S.C., where FBI
agents waited to arrest them on air piracy charges stemming
from the hijacking early Wednesday of a Delta Air Lines
plane. The charge carries a penalty of 20 years to life in
prison.
Billy Carter Forewarned
WASHINGTON (AP) Almost immediately after learning
last spring that White House officials knew of his planned
Libyan oil deal, Billy Carter began placing telephone calls
to an oil consultant and Libyan officials, telephone records
obtained by Senate investigators indicate. The records were
released at a special Senate subcommittee hearing Wednesday at which White House national security adviser
Zbigniew Brzezinski hotly denied trying out Billy Carter's
Libyan connection to keep it from damaging President
Carter's re-election chances. The panel has scheduled no
further hearings in its investigation of Billy Carter's activities and his refusal to register as a foreign agent until
Justice Department investigators learned he had received
$220,000 from the radical Arab government.
India Denied Nuclear Fuel
WASHINGTON (AP) The House Thursday overwhelmingly refused to permit Indian to put 38 tons of nuclear fuel
for its civilian reactor at Tarapur on grounds that India will
not agree to forego developing or testing nuclear weapons.
The House approved two resolutions disapproving the proposed sale and sent them to the Senate where a more narrow vote is expected next week. The first resolution was approved 298 to 98. The second passed by voice vote. The
House acted after more than three hours of debate in which
opponents of the sale contended that letting it procede
would signal the world that the United States is not
prepared to enforce its nuclear non-proliferation standards.
India secretly developed a nuclear bomb in the early 1970's
and exploded a test device in 1974.
CIA Reports Drug How
NEW YORK (AP) Gov. Hugh Carey said Thursday that
the Central Intelligence Agency had information that the
United States was being flooded with cocaine and heroin by
nations that sponsor terrorist organizations. "The CIA has
a report that there's a well-organized effort by nations
sponsoring terrorism . . . to ship into our country unprecedented volumes of drugs to deliberately cripple this
country's ability to exist," he said. Carey said that
"governments that arc hostile to our country" were getting
"young kids hooked on drugs" here. He called it a federal
responsibility to stop the importation of dope and to prodrug-lreatmcnt programs.
Polish Strikes Continue
WARSAW, Poland (AP) Communist Poland, coming out
of Its worst strikes in a decade, was plagued Thursday by
lingering labor unrest in a number of cities. Warsaw Television reported 16 struck businesses and sources said
walkouts had shut down the Katowice streetcar system and
a ball-bearing plant In Kielce. It was unclear whetherihe 16
strikes were the beginning of a new wave of unrest or the
residual effects of the old, which began easing with settlement of strikes in Gdansk, Szozecin and Silesia last month.
Those settlements granted workers the right to strike and
set up independent unions. Details on the strikes vyere sketchy but the workers were believed pressing demands for
higher pay, improved working conditions and in some cases
the removal of unpopular local supervisors. The number of
strikers or the types of businesses affected were npt given.
Carter Tones Down
WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter, who called
Ronald Reagan to task for using the words "states rights,"
denied Thursday he was accusing his Republican opponent
of "running a campaign of racism or hatred." "1 do not
think that my opponent is racist in any degree," Carter
said. In a news conference dominated by the presidential
campaign — and particulary Carter's conduct as a candidate — the president said he felt he had been running a
race that "is very moderate in its tone." The question has
emerged as a major clement in the general election campaign, which has been characterized in recent days by
charges and counter-charges between the Carter and
Reagan camps on the twin subjects of civil rights and appeals for black votes on Nov. 4.
Space Mission Launched
MOSCOW (AP) A Cuban cosmonaut and a Soviet mission
commander rocketed into space Thursday night aboard the
Soyuz 38 spaceship, the Soviet news agency Tass reported.
The Cuban cosmonaut, Arnaldo Tamayo Mcndcz, is the
seventh non-Soviet to fly in the Soviet Union's Intcrcosmos
space program. He and his Soviet mission commander,
space veteran Yuri V, Romancnko, arc to link up with the
Soviet Salyut 6 space station, where two Soviet cosmonauts'

Tass said the liftoff was at 3:11 p.m, EDT. Moscow television showed the rocket rising in a bright flash against nighttime skies at the Soviet space center at Baikonur in Soviet
Central Asia. Previous flights in the Intercosmos program
have involved Hungarian, Vietnamese, Szech, Polish, East
German and Bulgarian cosmonauts, each of them accompanied by a Soviet mission commander.
Somoza Assassin Shot
ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) Police announced they shot
and killed one of the suspected assassins of ousted
Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza in a shootout in a
working class suburb of Asuncion Thursday night. They
identified the man as Hugo Alfredo Irurzun of the Argentine People's Revolutionary Army, and said he was killed
after he opened fire on police who came to search the house
he was hiding in. They said the shootout took place in the
Lambarc suburb of Asuncion, and that a person accompanying Irurzun escaped during the exchange. Photographs
of Irurzun and a woman identified as Silvia Mercedes
Hodgers had been distributed by police following the
bazooka and machlnegun attack Wednesday that killed
Somoza, his chauffeur and a finacial adviser.
Israel Attacks Guerillas
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) Israel claimed its navy commandos
attacked two Palestinian guerilla targets on Lebanon's
south coast early Thursday. The PLO said it repulsed the
Israeli landing attempt. In Beirut, the Palestine Liberation
Organization said it rocketed a Jewish settlement in Upper
Galilee in retaliation for the Israeli foray, but Israel's
military command denied the claim. Lebanese provincial
authorities also reported an artillery attack Wednesday
evening on guerilla of Israeli-backed Maj. Saad Haddad.

Stony Brook Students
Face Early
Turmoil
New President Freezes Funds and Closes Bars
by Rich Bclnir
It's mid-September and SUNY
students from across New York
state have begun to settle into their
respective schools, their schedules,
and their activities.
But for those enrolled at SUNY
Stony Brook, adjustment may take
a bit longer. The students here at
this large Long Island university
have been faced with a brand new
president's stern alcohol policy and
the freezing of all student group
funds.
The removal of spirits
Wasting little time in "improving
the quality of student life," President John Marburgcr III, in his first
semester at Stony Brook's helm,
has ordered the closing of most
campus bars. Many of these, unlike
those at SUNYA, had been
operating out of the dormitories.
According to student government
(Polity) president Rich Zuckerman,
Marburgcr also calls for "the immediate removal of spirits and the
future removal, within three years,
of all liquor in the dormitories."
News Editor Harold Sallz of the
s t u d e n t - r u n n e w s p a p e r , the
Statesman, wrote that the univerlsty's plan includes the conversion of
existing bars into social-recreational
facilities, a reconstruction which
may cost the school $25,000 to
carry out.
Marburgcr's decision, claims the
Statesman, was based on the findings of Elizabeth Wadsworth, Vice
President For Studcnl Affairs, who
began looking into the issue at the
request of the university. She
reported that research began as far
back as three years ago because of
concern that the bars were having a
negative impact on the campus.
"I don't think the University
should participate in the distribution of alcohol", Marburgcr told
the campus paper, "but I do think
It's appropriate in controlled situations. The symbolism associated
with selling hard liquor in dormitories is a very shocking thing to
parents and the community."
Basically, the new president feels
that too much emphasis Is placed on
drinking.
"We need to have some alternatives. We can't have every socialrecreational area a bar. "We are trying to control sale, not consumption," he added.
Students Angered
According to the
Statesman,
"campus unrest and animosity" is
developing in response to the new
policy with several demonstrations
now in the planning stages.
"If drinking is wrong," reads an
editorial, "it should be banned
completely. If it is not wrong,
which we feel is the case, it should
be left up to the individual."
Both the newspaper and the student government have argued that
the amount of student input on the
decision was minimal.
Insists Polity president Zucker-

that there was a full committee
report. That committee never had
consensus at all."
In the bars, the sentiment was
similar.
Richie Fcdcrbush, manager of a
popular campus pub, feels that if
the university docs not alter its new
policy "they arc going to have an
enormous problem on their hands.
People are going to become
hostile and damage will be done. I
think people are going to make
noise."
Group funds in limbo
In another campus dilemma,
Marburger has refused to certify
Polity's budget that would allow
student activites and clubs to function.
According to the Statesman, this
decision is a result of charges that
the student government was in
violation of Affirmative Action
(A.A.) guidelines.
Although Marburger had offered
"interim" funds to those groups
stating intentions to adhere to the
A.A. statutes, Polity president
Zuckerman has rejected the proposal.
The issue stems from allegations
made last year by a coalition of
minority groups called the Progressive Alliance Of Stonybrdok:'
Organizations (PASBO). t h e y
claimed that the student government refused to give them a sufficient amount of activity money.
When the U.S. Office of Civil
Rights responded to the complaint,
they found that Polity had not produced sufficient advertising geared
toward minority groups and had
failed to keep adequate records of
the ethnicity of its employees.
Polity "uninformed"
Zuckerman's main objection to
the charges is that he claims Polity
had been uninformed of its Affirmative Action obligations. He also
insists that past presidents were
never told.
Certain student leaders dispute
this, however, and claim a letter

The New York State Department of Labor and the
SUNYA Office of Career Planning have joined forces to
help SUNYA find local employment more easily, according
to Career Planning Coordinator John Alexander.
The two agencies have negotiated for one year to create
the SUNYA NYS Job Service in the Campus Center basement, which will serve the student community by centralizing listings of available employment, siad Job Service staff
worker Diane Sabitclli. For example, students requesting
work in the quad cafeterias are now required to apply at the
job service. Previously, applications were filed at the
quads.

Student Reps To Work On Senate Study
Classics Prof. Barnard: 'two students will not swing the vote.'
by Susan Milligan
As a result of a recent faculty
vote, students will now have some
input in the discussion of options
concerning student representation
on University Senate. The vote provided for the addition of two voting
students on the Senate Study Committee. The Committee will discuss
the role of students on Senate during the year and prepare one or
more proposals for a vote in the

It has been barely two months
since young men of ages 19 and 20
treked to their local post office to
register for the draft, part of President Carter's plans for military
preparedness. But as quickly as
registration was instituted, it seems,
it has been forgotten. Is it a dead
issue?
"No way!" says SASU Organizing Director Bruce Cronin.
"It is not a big public issue now
because there is no registration taking place," he explained, "but it

would "assure students of a voice."
An additional "amendment to

Prof. Richard O'Neill that would
give the .students on the committee
voting status. Both motions were
passed with little opposition.
Classics professor Sylvia Barnard
spoke in favor of student representation, noting that "two students
on the committee will not swing the

" I feel students do have a role
here," she said. "It disturbs me

Congress considers instituting a full
draft, and in January during
registration week."
During January registration
week, January 5-11, all 18-year-old
males will be required to sign up for
the draft.
As they did during the summer
registration period, SASU will table
in January at post offices to inform
young men of their options regarding registration.
In addition, Cronin said, SASU
plans statewide campus teach-ins
and anti-draft rallies during a
"Week of Actions" from October
12-18, to be sponsored by the National Committee Against Registration and the Draft (CARD). This
effort will be coordinated by the
New York State Coalition for
Peace, a network of campus antidraft groups organized by SASU.
"SASU's major goal," Cronin
explained, "is to prevent the draft
from being implemented.
"The SASU delegation opposes
registration and the draft, and
voted last June to include this view
as part of SASU's platform," he
added.
SUNY's Student Union steering
committee member Dean Betz
agreed with Cronin's view that
draft registration is not a dead
issue. •
"This fall, the battleground will
be in the courts, but in Janunry it
will be in the streets," Betz added,
referring to the upcoming Supreme
Court ruling regarding the constitutionality of a draft registration excluding women.
The Student Union is having an
organization meeting next week to
gear up for this semester's antidraft activities. Signs will be posted
and all arc invited, according to
Betz.
Although the Selective Service
Department has warned that failure
to register for the draft is

they ran, that 25 percent of those

Professor Bell of the Criminal
Justice Department opposed the
amendment, remarking that he "is
always pleased and amused to see
the ingenuity" of students in such
matters, but that he would
"strongly oppose this amendment
to the amendment."
President Vincent O'Leary spoke
briefly in support of the amendment in his opening address, noting
that "one of the most important
factors in the 'Save SUNY' campaign was student action, and "ii
would be a great error (to be in opposition) when we should unite."
He concluded by "urging that
some plan be set up for formal student liaison with the Study Committee . . . so that the student voice
be heard."
O'Leary also noted that the
Alumni Hoard voted ill favor of student representation on the committee.
An additional proposal was made
by Political Science professor

Five Campus Burglaries
Reported This Semester
Waterbury Scene of\ Latest
by Sue Smith
SUNYA Campus Police Investigator Oary O'Connor has
estimated that 400 SUNYA students
are victims of theft each semester.
Since Labor Day weekend, police
records show there have already
been five burglaries on campus.
A recent occurence took place
last Monday in room 155 Waterbury Hall, Alumni Quad. Wallets
belonging to roommates Janene
Higgins and Nancy Dunlop were
reported missing shortly after 4:45
p.m. The wallets contained no
money. However, both wallets had
personal effects such as Social
Security cards and permits that
must be replaced.
Higgins described the incident,
"I stepped next door leaving my
door closed by unlocked. I was just
gone for about 60 seconds. When 1
returned, there was a black male in
my room. He said he was looking
for Donna Dowitl. I told him to go
to the R.A. and he just split. 1 asked
the R.A. and she said there is no
Donna Dowitt on the records. We
called the campus police and they
came over very quickly. They really
lectured us on the importance of
locking our doors and windows. We
lock our window and door all the
time now."
Higgins described the unidentified thief to be approximately five
feet, 11 inches in height, and
slender. He has short hair and was
wearing a cream-colored shirt and
jeans that appeared to be new.
The unidentified man reportedly
also entered another room in the
hall; however, nothing was stolen.
In response to such on-campus
thefts, O'Connor, along with the
Supervisor Student Patrol Andrew
Panzer, urges campus residents to
look for students who seem to be
:on fused, disoriented, or sneaking
around. O'Connor added that a
person charged with loitering is
liable either for an overnight stay in
jail or $100 bail and a sentence ol
up to 15 days in jail.
O'Connor said that SUNYA, being close to the city, has an environment that is conducive to
burglaries. Many drifters hitching
'hrough this city find the campus a
:onvenient spot to get food, rest,
ind possibly a $2,000 stereo system .
— not to mention cash, jewelry,
clock radios, and other valuables
owned by students.
Dinnertime is a prime time for
burglars to snag articles from the
dorm rooms and suites. Rooms left
unlocked and vacant provides opportunities for theft. O'Connor
noted that taking five minutes to
lock your doors or engrave propert)
can save hours of time replacing
goods.
Security has scheduled programs
in each dorm providing students
with Operation Identification
Numbers, engraving pens, and facts
on personal crime prevention.
Operation Identification is run by
the New York State Municipal
Police under the N.Y.S. System of
Crime Prevention. Each person is
given a N.Y.S. code number and an
individual identification code to
engrave on their personal property.
The identification numbers are on a
nationwide file insuring the owners
the chance to recover stolen goods
that are found anywhere at
anytime.
(Cap And Gown Firm Closes]
by Lillian Pearsall
B t ^ ^ ^ ^
Cotrell and Leonard, the Albany firm which has supplied caps and]
gowns for SUNYA for over 30 years, is going out of business. Company officials announced the firm was closing because of an inability to compete in
the modern market.
The closing comes on the heels of a strike of over a year's duration by ap-l
proximately 30 of the company's garment workers, supported by Hie Inter-j
national Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU). The strike was begunl
to protest what was called the company's anti-union campaign.
ILGWU representatives met early last spring with SUNYA official!,,
seeking support for the strikers through a boycott of Cotrell and Leonard's!
caps and gowns. They asked that the factory's decrepid condition also bci
considered, although the strike was for anti-union activities. University of-'
ficials declined support.
Cotrell and Leonard's manager, Anthony Harden, said thai the factory,
located at 472 Broadway, is closing because "our building is not suitable
for continued manufacturing in today's competitive market." Harden said
the o-impany is trying to sell its assets, and does not intend to reopen
elsewhere.
^ 1 ^ ^ ~ ^ ^ ~
The ILGWU is now trying to find another manufacturer to take over the
business. Edward Nash, ILGWU district manager, said "we've contacted
some of Cotrell and Leonard's competitors, but they weren't interested
We're still trying." Nash says the union is presently trying to find jobs for|

not register.
Yet the Selective Service says 93
percent of those eligible did

The reason for this, Bctz believes,
is that the Selective Service only has
the resources to contact about seven
percent of the nearly four million 19
and 20-year-olds who were supposed to have registered. The Selective
Service plans to contact those who
didn't register, he explains, and
since their resources permit them to
reach only seven percent of the people, this is the percentage they
declare as unregistered.
Whatever the percentages concerning summer registration, it is certain that there will be those who will
register this January. SASU and

everything they can to keep the

•JT only those people on the Spring 1980 ballot

Appliance stores
and department stores
are not the best places
to buy quality stereo.
You'll do much better at
a stereo store.
The problem is,
which stereo s t o r e 0 You're about
to read why over 2 million music
lovers have decided to buy from
Tech Hifi.
It's OK
to pick our brains.
(We know our stereo).
The salespeople at Tech Hifi
know what they're talking about.
They work at Tech because they
love stereo, not because they
love selling.

the latest equipment, and can tell
you the differences a m o n g the

At Tech Hifi our signs say
"Come Play." We encourage you
to spin knobs, push buttons, toss
switches, and try out any of the
components in our soundroom.

The reason why no store has
better prices than Tech Hifi is no
dealer buys quality components

good as anybody's, and often
better on some brands,
You might expect to pay
extra at Tech for all the extra

what you buy.

you in writing, right on

us ever needs service, we have

Slumping ticket sales at rock concerts may signal the end to those socalled "rider" clauses in the contracts of touring rock groups.
Rider clauses are special side
agreements in which the promotors
promise to provide back-stage extras for the musicians during a
show.
For example, the Grateful Dead
used to demand steak and lobster
for 20 people; Pink Floyd once
demanded and got a miniature golf
putting course, ping-pong and pool
tables, pinbail machines, and imported caviar — all backstage; and
Meatloaf always requests to have
cases of warm beer on hand.
The Washington Post reports,
however, that rider clauses have
gotten out of hand in recent years,
with some of the contracts running
with 20 extra pages of special
demands. The Post says that the
rider demands alone often cost a
promoter an additional $2,000 to
$4,000 per show.

Those names are being "bumped
from the rump," says the Chicago
Tribune, to make way for a new
type of signature: those of country
and western celebrities.
Already hot items are "Gilley's"
jeans, named after Mickey Gilley,
the country and western singer who
owns the bar made famous by the
movie Urban Cowboy.
Love Sick
Falling in love is good for your
health...but only if you don't do it
too often.
Two St. Johns University
sociologists say they have
discovered that people with the best
health are those who have fallen in
love only one, two, or three times.

Martinez Accused
Fries and Highs
A federal court in Boston has
halted the sale of T-shirts which
linked the McDonald's corporation
to the use of marijuana.
The shirts in question feature a
giant yellow "M" similar in style to
the McDonald's arches, and carry
the slogan: "Marijuana: Over 10
Billion Stoned."
A McDonald's vice president
complained to the court that
McDonald's had, in his words,
"spent an enormous amount of
money and time to develop an image of quality, friendliness, and
wholesomcness to the American
public." U.S. District Judge David
Nelson upheld McDonald's complaint and ordered several Boston
shops to slop selling the T-shirts.
McDonald's had another drugrelated problem recently when the
company ordered the redesign of its
coffee spoons after it was learned
.that the white plastic stirrers were
popular with cocaine users.

it seemed that the terror would overcome
him, the lady in the vision detached herself
from the boy. Erik ran away with boyhood
zeal and a speed frequently exhibited by his
dreaming counterpart. After racing for
several seconds he began to realize that his
movements were only slow motion exaggerations — he had moved only a few feet.
The sound of voices made him dash into the
adjoining kitchen and under the table. There
he kneeled, nervously anticipating his next
adventure. The voices began to get much
louder and before he knew it, twelve George
Washington look-alikes had entered the kitchen, with each occupying a seat around the
small table. The men were cramped and
agitated as they talked of their vicious intentions for Erik. Meanwhile the boy was safely
lucked in a near fetal position with the wall of
legs acting as his protection. His Increasing
feelings of security transferred Into
playfulness and he began poking the men's

SUNYA bus journey. The crowd was shrill
and tense as they arrived in anticipation of
the president.
At one point, a loud murmur caught my
attention, and 1 soon learned that it was due
to the arrival of a well known 1960's
Berkeley activist named Stony Burke. Thirtylsh, and clad In a grey suit, derby hat and
black loafers, Stony typified new-wave
rocker Elvis Costello. Perhaps Elvis may
have copied Stony.
The crowd's attention shifted with the arrival of the White House Press bus.
Demonstrators leaned over one another to
stare with a quiet curiosity as the 'biggies' of
the national media, gear and all, appeared to
stroll somewhat single-file Into the reception
hall.
But the scene was just too much for Stony
Burke.
"Hey media!" It was loud, crisp, and
highly audible.
"Down on your knees media, down on
your knees and get off 'he president like you
usually do!"
A dozen or so journalists turned sharply.
A few shouted back. Three secret service
men dashed toward Stony but several protestors had formed a solid chain between the
dark suits and the nervy activist. Many were
laughing hysterically, while others proclaimed, "First Amendment, Freedom of
Speech".
"Just cool It," said an agent, grey suit,
dark sunglasses, earphone engaged. He
looked like Maxwell Smart, especially while
chewing gum.
"Don't tell me to cool anything," Stony
quipped. "I'm here because I love people.
God knows what brought you here."
Burke's comment to the media, though
quite severe, raised some Interesting
thoughts in this mind. Many of the journalists
seemed bored, and many are. Ordered by
their editors to follow Carter from dawn to
dusk, city to service station, throughout the
campaign, many find themselves swallowing

Journalism Review, you can find a piece on
how Ihe press has been gulping Pentagon

Could the press be collectively buying the

believe so, but Stony is certain.
"You have to speak up and lay it on the
line at these occasions, level with them,"
Slony had said "You can't just stand around
like an impressionable moron and watch
them step all over you — giving an occasional boo or hiss."
A hall hour before the president's motorcade arrived, The Revolutionary Communist
Party marched, carrying effigies of both

Reagan For Shah people were there too,
decked out like new-wave clowns. They
were signing up prospective members. The

force also In costume; cute, tight blue slacks
tucked Into their boots. Helmets and clubs
too. Nobody knew what they were expecting. After performing In perfect order and
unison on mean Harley Davidson's, they
rode off In pairs of two. The crowd enjoyed
the exhibition, and showed It with Nazi
salutes to the forehead and German slogans.
The squad didn't seem to mind.
Spotting the presidential press secretary
across the street, some demonstrators began
chanting, "Draft Jody Powell, Draft Jody
Powell." Hearing his name, Carter's dapper
assistant sauntered across the street to talk
with the protestors from the Students and
Community United Against the Draft and
The Berkeley Anti-Draft Association
(BADASS).
"I'm too old to be drafted," he joked, trying to shake hands. But the demonstrators
weren't about to be satisfied with that
remark. They began questioning him about
the use of the draft to defend oil company
profits In the Middle East. As the chants of
"No draft — we won't go for Texaco" Intensified, Powell made a speedy retreat to the
safety of his limousine.
As in the days when Lyndon Johnson
could nol leave the White House without being met by a demonstration, the antl-drafters
didn't seem to be interested In dialogue
with the president. They wanted registration
stopped, and the message was ear-splitting
as the president arrived at Jack London
Square. Flanked on all sides by secret service
men, Carter managed to avoid various flying
objects. The screams and chants were
thunderous, and this writer blushed at seeing
a president get such a devil's welcome.
Before turning into the reception hall, the
president beamed and waved. Scores of
third fingers seemed to go up In unison and I
can remember feeling a llltle sick.
Long after the rally had ended, the president off to Portola Valley (where he was met
by more demonstrators), Stony Burke came
charging out of the reception hall raving
about free food and drink. And while the remaining police dashed over to refuse entrance, I managed to sneak in for a look.
While gazing at a huge yellow banner proclaiming OAKLAND WELCOMES JIMMY

little mention, If any, of the spectacle at Jack

of the rally, namely the Revolutionary Communist Parly, Most of Ihe pholos leatured

Soon after this rally and others of the sort,
focus shifted to Ihe post offices where
registration was taking place. At every office
in Berkeley, a table with abundant literature
was placed In front, and various anti-drafters
roamed throughout the premises in search of
youth to rap with. Their goal was not to convince others to resist; besides being Illegal
this is highly unethical. So they spoke about
alternatives and tried to encourage young
men to lake advantage of free counseling.
After drifting through post offlces*fbr most of
the two-week period, it seemed to me that
they were highly successful in this end.
I recall a conversation between an antidrafter and a young black man.
"Hey, it's the law so I've got to do 11," the
boy told the antl-drafter,
"Can I be frank with you?" he replied,
"Shoot."
"Twenty years ago, even less, the 'law'

about the treatment of blacks during Vietnam? The military Is racist — blacks were klll'ed In greater numbers than whites. So you
see, sometimes you have to decide what you
believe Is right and slick to your convictions.
Would you consider some counseling?"
The boy didn't care to answer. He tore up
his registration card and sprinted out of the
post office.
Others weren't so quick to open up. I
recall several militant youths who threatened
to beat up a reslster If he should try to hand
them any literature.

vocalists Kate Plerson and Cindy Wilson,

which Is where the group derives It's n ime.
As for their music, the B-52's sound as
distinct as they do familiar. Drummer Keith
Strickland and guitarist Ricky Wilson, who
uses only four strings, are the backbones of
the B-52's heavy dance-beat and slxty-lsh
sound. Lead vocalist Fred Schnieder and the
girls add occasional extra guitars, keyboard,
bass and assorted other sounds. There is no
official bass guitar In the band.
Wild Planet's first number Is "Party Out of

topics — party crashing. Fred and the girls

"Into the Lens", from Drama, followed.
The song features Buggle-lsh type lyrics and
a tight musical arrangement. The Buggle
type lyrics are mostly evident by the line "I

times throughout this piece.
Steve Howe picked up one of this acoustic

"Devil In My Car" Is about Joyriding wilh
the devil. It's the weakesl song musically on
the album. This weakness Is due lo lis repetition and length.
"Quiche Lorraine", besides its spacey aire,
thanks to the girls' background vocals and
organ playing, Is another song with deep
lyrics. Fred tragically loses his love, a dark
green Poodle, to a Great Dane. Smitten, he
locks her kennel and throws the key away.
The next tune "Strobe Light", Is another
hot one. This song Is coordinated very well
musically, like "Lava" off the debut album,
Aside from the driving beat, "Strobe Light",
features Interesting exchanges and breaks
between Ihe vocals and Instruments.
"53 Miles West of Venus" also features
Kate and Cindy on vocals as well as a light
musical arrangement and a haunting
melody,
The distinct sound and Incredible beat of
Ihe B-52's Is something thai should be experienced by all. This album Is guaranteed to
please the ears and beat the feel.

A Confusing Dorm Deal
While the notion of moving SUNY's housing into financial independence is a
commendable one, we must question whether SUNY's students can dish out the
money.
What brought many students into the system in the first place was SUNY's
pledge of low-cost, high-quality education. If it can no longer meet this end, then
it may be losing its initial reason to exist.
The Board of Trustees and the Chancellor believe that, even under no pressure
to do so from the state, the move toward dormitory self-sufficiency will create
more money for academics.
But h o w can we be certain that the Legislature will channel this money into that
area of concern? As talks of further tuition cuts and budget cuts will undoubtedly
arise this year, the Board could be engaged in their own neck-slicing right now.
They also sight inflation as a reason for (heir decision. While we won't be
foolish to debate the continuing high cost of living in Ihe state and the country, an
increase of $150 per year for four years docs not appear to be keeping up with our
current rate of inflation.
While off-campus living was once considered a financial luxury, it is now
cheaper, at least in this city, to share a room in an apartmenl outside the dormitories.
Perhaps our biggest complaint is the liming of the increase.
The Chancellor and Board of Trustees, in a quasi-closcd-door meeting withou!
much student input, appear lo have rushed iheir decisions. Students had already
dispersed for the summer after signing housing contracts for a determined
amount. When they received notices this summer of the increase, those on stale
financial aid were oul of luck. The forms were processed and impossible to alter.
Even though students were offered open release from Iheir housing contract,
August is rather late to take advanlagc of it,
SUNYA students , however, were fortunate due lo the sharpness of ihe Financial Aids office who, quickly adding the new rale into students' packets, saved
them personal costs.
Bui in most other SUNY schools, the $150 will come right oul of the lining of
empty students' pockets.
Surely the Trustees could have at leasl wailed until the nexl semester or school
year to debate and vote on ihe issue — before hitting most students with a charge
- Trustee Chair Responds
Bus System in Ruins
Few will deny that the S U N Y A bus service is attrocious at best. And as
semesters begin, year after year, the system continues to corrode.
One student, returning from a year of study in Paris, told the ASP he was
amazed at the rise of inadequacy the service has attained since he left. And he has
a right to be so amazed.
One needs only to spend time using the 'service' to see just how poor it really is.
More and more students are getting into classrooms late, some are forced to miss
them altogether as they gaze at stuffed buses whizzing past on their way to the
campus; buses which often exceed the legal load of riders.
The Plant Department claims that the main reason for the latest deterioration
is due to mandatory budget cuts, causing the loss of two drivers. They now have
more buses than drivers to operate them.
But a Plant Department source, who asked not to be identified, claims that the
two drivers had quit — and three more were hired. And 1980 employment records
list the names of 22, not the 20, drivers the department has claimed.
So what is the real problem? We're not too sure but a large number of bus
drivers are quick to point their fingers and their mouths at the management.
Wherever the problem actually lies, one thing is more certain now than ever
before — it needs to be solved. Service is decreasing and eroding as the downtown
population continues to expand.
Since we feel that the university has failed to recognize the dire seriousness of
the situation, the ASP suggests that administrators and Plant Department officials ride the buses to work each day for a week.
We're certain that after arriving to campus with ruffled suils and missed appointments, our leaders would soon opt for taxis.
But regardless, go on and give it a try. Just one week. We dare you.
And to the downtown students who arc becoming so disillusioned, we beg you
lo voice your complaints to the adminislralion and to the Planl Department. The
number is 457-8422. Ask for Dennis Stevens. He's in charge Ihere. And the only
way he can undersland what's wrong is if you tell him.
Al a meeling on Alumni Quad Tuesday night, Mr. Stevens pledged he would

To The Editor:
I have been receiving a good many calls
from sludents at Ihc Albany campus protesting Ihe increase in dormilory rental
charges put into effect for Ihc current
academic year. As much as I would like lo
respond fully to each caller, there simply
isn't the time lo do so. Therefore, I am laking this opportunity to give the rationale for
the Trustee action.
Concern over the increase by ihc sludcnl
consumer is very underslandable. Each
time prices increase on necessary items,
which is happening all too frequently, il
represents a greater drain on our purchasing
power and a gain for inflation. Yet, the
Stale University is a victim of the same cosl
pressures as is Ihe consumer.
In Ihc past five years, operating costs for
SUNY dormilories have increased by $300 a
bed, while the rental rale rose only $50 over
Ihe same period. The difference was made
up by a Stale subsidy included In the SUNY
budgel. This subsidy, in effect, is benefiting
only about onc-lhird of Ihe SUNY students
— those who live in Ihe residence halls.
The alternatives facing Ihc adminislralion and the Trustees were few. We could
continue to provide ever-increasing subsidies lo the residence halls and have lo
reduce faculty accordingly, or we could
move toward making the halls sellsupportlng and use the resulting $9 million

Fiorito kept it on the next play for
the score. On the play, though,
Burger got injured, and didn'l
return to action. Going into the
final period, the Ithaca lead was cut
to six points, 27-21.
The loss of Burger was evident as
Albany had trouble generating a
serious offensive attack. His
replacements accounted for only six
yards rushing in the quarter. Ithaca
notched two more touchdowns, one
with 1:11 to go.

Justice Department to visit
Meanwhile, PASBO leader and the initiator of the
original charges, Frank Jackson, is unhappy with Zuckerman's rejection of "interim" proposal.
"It is not us, it is not the president that's stopping activities now, it is Richard Zuckerman who is," he said.
According to the Statesman, Jackson said he had contacted the U.S. Justice Department and that it will conduct
an investigation on the campus this week.
Looking ahead
"Stony Brook is a funny mixture of things that are done
very well and things that are muddled through," Marburger explained to the Statesman. He expressed a strong
desire to "get started on reorganizing the university.
And while those involved search for solutions to SUNY
Stony Brook's early problems, its students, with no clubs to
join, nor booze to guzzle, have few other places to turn —
but the books,

nored.
A Polity senntor and a PASBO leader both insist that the
letter, stating their obligations to A.A. by-laws, was even
"condemned" at a June 23rd meeting of the Polity Council. Zuckerman has rebuffed the claims.
Rejects Marburger's proposal
According to the Statesman, Zuckerman has refused
Marberger's "interim" budget plan for legal reasons. He
feels that operating on a partly-certified budget "would
have opened up Polity and myself and the university to
lawsuits."
Instead, Zuckerman wants all of the funds restored.

abundance of freshmen and
sophomores, chalked up the meet's
first place finisher — Scott James,
who completed the course in 23

became the third fastest Albany
time on the Coast Guard course. "1
really didn't care too much for the
hills — in fact that's the worst facet
of my race. I really enjoy running
on the roads. That is where I made
up my deficit from Coast Guard's
leader. In the last mile I passed him
and held on to win by nearly 20
yards. I felt good at the end of the
race but I really was waiting for
myself to roll over and die — I
never did," said James.
the pressure is really on him. Scott's
performance was one heck of an
achievement," said Munsey.

Harriers Sunk By Coast Guard
by Jeff Scluidoff
Running in weather conditions
most favorable to long-distance
running, Albany State's men's cross
country team lost their opening
dual meet last Saturday to the Coast
Guard Academy, 20-41.
Knowing full well that his back
was up against the wall, Albany
head coach Bob Munsey felt "it
was a pretty bad score to be beaten
by. For us to have won would have
been by maybe a few points — real
close, but they just blew us out of
the park."
Coast Guard's home course,
which stretches 4.8 miles, begins
with a rather monumental mile or
so up a small path. Senior cocaptain Matt Van Buren felt,
"we've done a large amount of hill
work in practice in the past but it
really hasn't helped yet." The
crucial beginning might have proved to be an important liability to the
Dane runners for Coast Guard

The game started out well for the
Danes as they jumped out to a 1-0
lead in the first inning as Matt Antalek scored the first of his three
runs. Bob Arcario singled him in
from second base. In the third inn
ing; Albany got their second run in
similar fashion as Tom Verde poked a single to centerficld scoring
Antalek.
In the top half of the third, short'stop Bob Tortorello made a sensational catch of a line drive. A Bruce
Rowlands initiated double-play
followed, and a potential Siena
threat was thwarted.
Albany's solid defense suffered a
lapse in the fourth inning as Siena
broke through for three unearned
runs, highlighted by a two run
single from Siena infielder Chris
Clemens.
Albany lied the game in the bottom of the fifth inning as Antalek
'got his second single and scored his
third run of the game. The run was
j |drivcn in by Torn Verde who had
I .two ribbies for the game.
The tie was short lived, though,
as Siena slugger Chuck Sohl slammicd a three-run homer with two out
to make the score 6-3, Siena. The
four-bagger was the only hit off of
Jim Bittker, who came in to pitch in
! relief when Dane Ken Cambell left
the game in the fourth inning.
Cambell allowed four hits and no
earned runs.
The Danes made a comeback attempt as Rich Cardilio drove in a
run with a long double and Jerry
Rosen brought home the fifth and
final run for Albany.
The game was promising from
the Danes point of view because,"
although Siena is a highly rated
j team, the Danes out hit them 10 to
, five and proved to themselves that
they can play well against a top
quality team.
Albany head coach Rick Skeel
was "pleased with the way the guys
are working." He thinks that it's
just a question of time before this
team really puts it together. Skeel
especially believes in the team's
ability to hit. "Given a little time,
ithere will not be a pitcher around
who can hold down our bats,"
Skeel said.

Ford was disgruntled by the loss,

Ford felt thai the game could'vc

Albany did do many things correctly,
though,
including
outrushing Ithaca (241 yards to 226
yards). Dane quarterback coach
Mikq Walsh noled: "Wc had the
best offensive showing in our opening game in the last three years"
against what he called Ihc best
opening team they've played. The
Albany secondary picked off three
passes. Bowen had two of those
(one on a diving over-the-shoulder
grab in the endzone), and Dave
Hardy had the other (on the goal
line). Both prevented potential
touchdowns. Albany quarterback
Mike Fiorito was eight for 15 passing, for 107 yards, fulfilling Ford's
prc-game speculation that "We
don't have to throw more; we have
to throw better."
Albany had to punt on their initial possession, but Bowen inlercepted a DcCarr pass on Ithaca's

fourth-and-five from the Ithaca

highlighted by two fourth-down

Oneonta, Vermont, First Victims ofNetmen
Hold Up Under Pressure;
Depth The Key to Success
by Larry Kahn
The Albany Stale men's tennis
team got off to a roaring start this
season with two convincing victories in what figures to be an exciting year. The young team held up
nicely in competition and proved
they have the depth lo win the
lough matches.
On Tuesday, the netters smashed
Vermont, 7-2, al home in a match
that Albany clinched in the singles
competition. Last year Vcrmonl
barely edged the Danes,' 5-4, in a
very hard fought match.
"I figured it would be a much
closer match," admitted Albany
lennis coach Bob Lewis. "Although
wc won handily, Vermont is not a
bad team — a lot of good points
were played despite the lopsided
scores. I was very happy to clinch
the match in singles, but I didn't expect t o . "
In the continuing battle for the
number one position on the Albany
ladder, Fred Gabcr (l-l) has emerged as the early leader, but Barry
Levinc (l-l) is returning to last year's
form and freshman Rob Karen (2-0)
is challenging with a very strong
start. With a full week before their
next match there may be some
shake-ups as the team continues
their playoffs. "The players at one,
two and three are very, very close,"
remarked Lewis. " I wouldn't be
surprised If there were some
changes."
In Tuesday's action, Gaber
breezed through his match against
Bob McCrcdic in slruighl scls, 6-1,
6-2. "Fred played exlrcmely well,"
commented Lewis. In second
singles, Levinc ran into some lough
compclilion in Vermonl's Phil Abdalia. Abdalla broke Lcvinc's serve
first to take an early 3-2 lead, but
the Dane battled back to win, 6-4,
and then look the second sel, 6-2.
"I'm happy to see Levinc playing
well again," said Lewis. "He came
up against a very hard hiltcr, but he
hung in there and started playing
with more confidence. Midway
through the second scl he started
playing more like he is capable of
playing, though he's not quite back
lo where he was lasl year."
In other solid performances, Rob
Karen crushed Chris Holmquist,
6-1,6-2, and Russell Kasow (l-l) won
his first college match, 6-3,6-1.
"Rob played his second really good
match,' 1 noted Lewis. The lone
Albany loss in singles came in the
fifIh spot where Andy Diamond
(l-l) fell to Mike Bonfigli, 6-3,6-2.
"Andy played against a good
player," said Lewis. "He wasn't at
his best — he was tentative in the
match."
The most exciting match of the
day came from the bottom of the
ladder where Albany's Dave Lerncr
(2-0) locked horns with Ed Bonfigli.
Lerner barely slid by in the first set,
7-6, but jumped to a commanding lo win because Oneonla's top Iriumph. "Second and third

by the SUNYA Student Association, as well as SASU and

Legal counsel for Ihc students is
provided by SA Attorney Jack
Lesler. Paralegals, investigators,
and researchers are also employed.
Leslcr estimates thai the entire cost
of the litigation will approach nearly $4,000.
SASU spokesperson Pain Snook
said she does not consider the

will appeal to a higher court if the
judge's decision is negative.
"We will continue to fight this
thing, both In the courts and in the
legislature," she said.
In his first public comment on the
issue, SUNYA President Vincent
O'Lcary said he believes a student
who lives in a community ought to
be able to vote in that community.
"Students should be subject to
the same rules as anyone else," siad
O'Lcary.
O'Lcary added, however, thai he
is not sure about students who live
in dormitories. "They're kind of a
special case," he said. "You really
argue il either way."

thai Wellington students originally
proposed thai some Alumni bus service be eliminated. Stevens,
however, said he would not consider cutting any Alumni service.
"During the morning peak, Wellington students will still have to use

said. "We need to do that so we can
haul many more Alumni students."
In addition, Stevens said, the
shuttle service gives the Wellington
students more service too. With the

Stevens pointed to the areas
around the window casements and
the joints between the concrete
panels of the tower as allowing for

SUNYA President Vincent
O'Lcary prepared a 'Rehabilitation
and Repair Request' memo for the
Office of Capital Facilities and the
Division of the Budget (pari of the
New York State Legislature) requesting the replacement of window
units and the recaulking of vertical
walls on the exterior surfaces where
the leaks funnelled from outside lo
the points where the ceiling and upper window molding meet.

"repair resourceshave not been forthcoming in recent years."
This year, SUNYA estimates a

Repairs against window leakage
