Netmen Successfully Defend SUNYAC Title
by Larry Kalm
Sometimes a team wins because
of one or two great individual efforts, but the most satisfying win is
when everybody pitches in, when
everybody on the team can say,
"Without me we couldn't have
done it." That's the kind of win the
Albany State tennis team put
together this weekend when they
capped off their successful fall campaign by edging Binghamton in the
S U N Y A C c h a m p i o n s h i p s in
Rochester.
"It was definitely a team effort,"
said Albany tennis coach Bob
Lewis. "Everybody on the team
contributed, and there were some
key matches where the guys really
came through when they had to."
Albany topped Ihe 10-team field
with 26 points followed by
Binghamton with 25, and Onconta
with 22. "It was definitely a Ihreeteam tournament," noted Lewis, as

points. The championship was
Albany's second siraighl and fourth
in the last seven years.
The closeness of Ihe loarnamcni
made every match crucial.
Remarkably, all six Albany singles
players made il lo ihe semifinals
and only one failed lo make il lo Ihe
finals, where Albany captured individual championships at number
Iwo, with Fred Gabcr (who won al
number four lasl year), al number
three behind undcfcaicd Rob
Karen, and al number six with Dave
Lerner,
"All of our players did as well or
better lhan I expected," said Lewis.
"The only exception was al number
Iwo doubles where we were upscl by
Binghamton."
He added, "We expected good
things from ihe guys al Ihe lop of
Ihe ladder, but I'm proud of ilie job
everybody on the learn did, bill
especially the job (Andy) Diamond
and Lerner did. In a tournament of
this type everybody has to do their
share — and that's what happened."
"One good reason why we won
was ttiat we ail pui everything we

pumped each oilier up before Ihe

The contest wasn't really that
close being thai Buffalo's lasl score
came with 15 seconds left, but il
certainly was tight enough lo give
Albany some things lo think
aboul—namely consistency, The
Danes flew out lo a 24-0 lead less
lhan 20 minutes into ihe game, but
let Buffalo get as close as 24-16 in
ihe third quarter.
"We just haven't been able lo
put together two good halves of
football," said Albany head coach
Bob Ford.
The firsl half could nol have been
more lopsided. Albany rolled up
340 yards in lolal offense in Ihose
initial 30 minutes, which is more
lhan ihey had for their entire games
against Fordhain and Southern
Connecticut, and only eight less
lhan their output against Ithaca. Of
thai figure, quarterback Mike
Piorlto was partially responsible for
122 yards in ihe air, plus 54 more on
Ihe ground. Fiorilo, who played all
bui five downs for Albany, was a
torrid five for six passsing in Ihe
first half, The yardage gained pass-
ing by Ihe Danes in Ihe firsl half
equaled Buffalo's lolal offense in
I hill same lime period. Where
Albany gol 218 yards tunning Ihe
ball in Ihe first half, the Bulls
merited 56. By lialflime, wilh ihe
score 24-8 in favor of ihe Danes, il
looked like a long, rainy cud to a
perfect season for Buffalo,
"We looked its good as a football
team can againsl a strong defense,"
Ford said aboul Ilie Danes' firsl
half.
The second half was a different
story altogether, though, Albany
returned Ihe klckoff lo their own 40
yard line, bin losl six yards on I heir
firsl three plays, and punted. An inlerceplion by linebacker Mall Brancalo gave ihe Danes Ihe ball back
on I heir 42, bul ihe Albany
wishbone netted minus four yards
on the possession, and punted.
Dave Hardy's boot totaled only 19
yards wilh the return, and Buffalo
took over on their own 43. Fight
plays later, Bull quarterback Jim
Rodriguez eluded the Dane pass
rush and tossed a five yard
touchdown to sub fullback Jeff
Martin, who made a hobbling onehanded grab for Ihe score.
Rodriguez passed lo Frank Price
for Ihe iwo point conversion, and
Ihe Albany lead was cut lo eight,
24-16.
"There was a lit)Ic bit of a letdown — an emotional letdown,"
Ford said.
Buffalo's final touchdown came
al the end of the game, but would
have made a Dane victory into a lie
had il nol been for Arango's line
drive field goal. "That al leasi look
some of Ihe pressure off," said
Ford aboul the field goal.
Albany was unable lo musier any
teal offensive attack in ihe second
half notching 105 yards lo Buffalo's
170(138 in Ihe air).
Penalties are another Ihing the
Danes have lo think aboul after
Saturday. Eleven of them cost
Albany 106 yards, bul three in particular (Iwo on one play) led to
touchdowns. On ihe second play ol
the Bulls' only scoring drive of ihe
firsl half, Dane safely Bruce Collins
picked off whai would have been

Defensive back Mark Flanagan was

by IJruct' Levy
In response lo u receni influx of
heroin into New York Slate, Governor Hugh I.. Carey has declared a
"war on heroin" and has asked the
Stale Legislature for additional funding 10 establish ihe Citizens
Alliance to Combat Heroin
(C.A.T.CH) along wilh other programs.
C.A.T.C.H., directed by Stale
Department of Substance Abuse official Julio Marline/., monitors the
flow of heroin and aids in law enforcement and drug treatment, according to another department official, Bill McCarthy.
According to McCarthy, heroin
use has hit epidemic proportions in
New York City. The purity of street
heroin has increased from 3-5% in
1979 to 15-18% at present. The
number of heroin addicts, overdose
cases, and incidents of related
diseases such as hepatitis are increasing, Also, with more heroin
being made available, the price has
decreased, so thai heroin has
become affordable, even to
teenagers, said McCarthy.
Carey has also pioposed a surtax
on all distilled liquors, excluding
beei and wine, which would add additional funding towards the treatment of alcoholism and substance
abuse,
In addition, the governor has also
requested $fi million from the
legislature for the treatment, law
enforcement, and Investigation of
heroin abuse.
Those funds would include
$125,000 for Ihe New York Slate
Proseculer, $300,000 for heroin
detoxification centers, and more for
a widespread media campaign, and
a doubling of the New York CityStale Joint Task Force.
According to Carey's press
representative, Steve Morcllo, the
governor will also ask for $1.2
million of federal monies for a drug
treatment center. Carey will also
ask that the federal government do
its share in preventing ,i id fighting
the heroin crisis by increasing
federal prosecutions and by guarding more carefully against heroin
trafficking, said Morcllo.
Treatment of heroin abuse, according lo Slalf Counselor ol I lope
House, Hob Joel, comes in two
forms. One program is the "drug
free" residential centers designed
for behavioi and altitude modification for the drug addict so that he
can deal wilh his problems and
return lo a normal lite. Hope
House, as well as Phoenix House
and Odyssey House, are involved in
this lype of program.
The second lype of drug control
program is ihe methodone treatment, first used under President
Lyndon B. Johnson to control
crime by detoxifying the addict.
Laier, methodone was used as a
means of helping drug addicts in
general.
Assistant Director of the Whilnc..'
Young Rehabilitation Clinic
Methodone Center in Albany ex
plained that patients arc given
methodone in decreasing amounts
until the addiction is broken, usually afler 22 days. Afterwards, the
center deals wilh the patient's
medical, legal, marital and nutritional problems, followed up by
monthly counseling.

ATLANTA (AP) Police began organizing door-to-door

its barnyard language drew

Liner Stranded in Port
October 17, 1980
LONDON (AP) About 900 passengers, most believed
American, were stranded aboard the luxury cruise ship
Cunard Countess today in Barbados after its British
crewmen went on strike, according to initial reports
reaching the Brilish-owned line's headquarters here today. "We have had information that there's a problem
aboard the Cunard Countess, but are waiting for further
details," said Don Wcscoit, a spokesman at the headquarters of the Cunard Line, which also owns the Queen
Elizabeth II. "As far as we know, the ship is still stuck
in Barbados." Westcott said ihc dispute apparently
arose out of Cunard's plans lo sell the money-losing
17,495-ton Cunard Countess and its sisler ship, the
Cunard Princess, to an "overseas subsidiary." Under
the plan, announced iwo weeks ago, the vessels, which
ply the Caribbean on luxury cruises, would no longer
sail under the British flag and local — and therefore
cheaper — slaff would be hired. Westcott would not say

results from previous tests," said Harry Kelly, an official of the Environmental Protection Agency, which
monilors the fallout. The explosion occurred at 12:30
a.m. EDT at the Lop Nor nuclear lest site in northwest
China, the Energy Department announced. The aboveground blasl would produce the familiar mushroom
cloud and send radioactive panicles inlo the atmosphere
to be propelled around the world. Officials put the size
of the explosion al between 200,000 and 1 million ions
of TNT — or al least 10 times larger than ihc blast from
the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, in
1945.

by Sue Milligan
Since Presidential hopefuls
Carter, Reagan, and Anderson were
not able to appear in Albany personally, the Rotary Club of Albany
offered the next besl thing — a
debate among representatives of the
candidates at ihe Thruway House
yesterday.
Mayor
Erastus
Corning
represented Carter, Congressman
Gerald Soloman represented
Reagan, and Ambassador Soloman
Zurhcllcu spoke in behalf of Anderson in the debate.
Corning remarked that "Carlcr
has done an extremely good job in a
time that was difficult," and noted
thai "il is only now (under Carter)
thai we have an energy policy."
Corning also said that "Carter
has melded his own ideas with Ihe
ideas of olhcrs (concerning)
economic policy — a policy based
on jobs."
He emphasized "Ihe need lo
lessen dependence on foreign oil,"
and spoke of an "economic policy
that is world-wide,"
"We can give our knowledge and
funds lo other parts o\' the world,"
Corning said. "The major difference in ihis election is that Carter
sees the World picture better . . .
and sees its importance."

Zerhellcn, first commenting that
"Anderson stands for common
sense and progress," charges that
"there is something wrong with the
candidates and plal forms of both of
the other parties."
"Corning said he decided in May
of 1979 lo support Carter,"
Zurhellen said, "but Carler's
policies have changed many limes
since then. Carter used id be against
unemployment and inflation, but
he has brought about both of them.
He was against a lax cut — now he
wants one in January."
Zurhellen added that he "can't
figure oul what Carler's economic
policy is."
Zurhellen also said thai he "can't
figure oul what Reagan's policies
are either."
"Reagan used lo be againsi
equality for women, and now he
wants one on the Supreme Court.
Maybe he thinks she'll go for coffee
for the ol her judges," Zurhellen added.
The ambassador said thai
"Reagan's proposed tax cut will only drive prices higher and raise lite
level of inflation."
Zurhellen remarked also thai
"we have been so driven lo consume . . . we cannot use our capital
the way we have been. We must en-

courage saving, investment, and
hope in the future."
Congressman Soloman began by
dismissing Anderson since "he is
not a factor in this election . . . he
does not sland a chance lo win."
Soloman criticized Carter, noting
thai "prices have risen a great deal"
since Carter look office and that
"the federal budget has doubled"
since ihe Democrat's inaugcration.
Soloman also remarked thai
"inflation is breaking the back of
every American, and promised thai
Reagan would "fight lax increases."
Soloman sup'-orled Reagan's
proposed lax cut, emphasizing that
"we need to put the money back inlo Ihc pockets of Ihe people."
Mayberry referred to ihe incumbent Samuel Stralton as a "war
monger," and added thai the
unions at the conference "displayed
anti-war sentiment," .
Mayberry also spoke against the
recent SUNY dormitory rale increase,
emphasizing
that
"education should be a right, not a
privilege of those who can afford
il."
Mayberry also complained that
she and other Socialist candidates
have not received adequate press
coverage.
"Working people are refusing to
endorse Curler, Reagan, oi thill
clone — Anderson. Bin you never
read about il ill ihe papcis," sinsaid.
Mayberry said she thinks the recontinual on i>uge five
"The raising of dorm rales . . .
by Chancellor Wharton and thej"""C//p,
Trustees is pan of a continuing attack on education," she continued.
"We need more stale and federal
funding' for our colleges and universities."
Mayberry said she has encountered problems in Iter campaign because she is nol a nominee
of a major parly.
"1 wanted to leaflet al the Conrail yard," she said, "and they
wouldn't let me. 1 bcl if I were
Sam Stralton, they would have
allowed me to leaflet."

Bound said she felt this would serve as a preliminary move in preparing lot ihe next drufl registration which will begin on January 5. Sheadded thai it would give Hie groups a chance lo reflect on lasl July's

Rebirth of
Movement
Socialist Campaigns at SUNYA
by Sue Mflligiin
Although fewer ihan len people
attended her speech, Socialist
Worker Parly Congressional candidate Pal Mayberry made a sitong
plea for labor and higher education
funding as she campaigned at
SLINYA Tuesday.
Mayberry spoke extensively
about a labor conference on Safe
Energy and lull Employment she
attended this month.
"We are calling for a labor parly," Mayberry said. "The working
people in ihis country want public
ownership of energy . . . The labor
union at Ihe conference came oul
unanimously againsi nuclear
power. The labor movement is not
moving io the right,"
Mayberry suggested Ihe use of
coal instead of oil. "Coal is- a
cleaner fuel than oil and il is nol
radioactive," The Socialist nominee
also called for ihe immediate shutdown of all nuclear power plants in
! U.S.

"How to market oneself is a lifelong skill, it's important to give
people this know-how rather than
simply giving them a j o b , " maintains Alexander.
Making a Case
And marketing oneself is exactly
the aim of JSS. The first step is attending an orientation that outlines
the process of the series, which is a
sequence of seminars that should be
attended in order. Orientation
proceeds a two-hour Introduction
lo Job Search, which, according to
Alexander, "helps people arrive at
an understanding of their competence — not just by peddling
credentials — but by explaining that
competence in terms of achievement analysis."
Competency awareness is what
Alexander advocates in JSS, where
he tells his students that they must
show functional abilities to prospective employers (for instance:
the ability lo "organize lime, people, and resources" and giving supporiive evidence of this ability),
rather Mian presenting the employment with long lists of jobs and
titles held in the past.
"Forget lilies of the past jobs —
in your resume talk in lerms of
function — what you can do. No
one will hire you for your labels,"
says Alexander. "It's competence
thai makes the difference. Talking
functionally enables you lo bring n
other achievements (for example,
training Middle Earth candidates or
rebuilding ait old car were two
achievements discussed in Monday's Seminar I) interpreted in
terms of applying them to a job. It's
knowing how lo Interpret accomplisltmcnts and use them,"
Alexander asserts.
The first two sessions following
the Introduction to Job Search are
Seminar I and II (both given twice
weekly). They involve a systematic
look al pasl experience.
"I learned litis approach from
Bernard Iloldane, one of the most
'esteemed and widely known job
consultant in the country," says
Alexander, "Careei consultants use
it widely." 'faking the course from
Holdane now costs in the area o[
$1,800.
This syslcmutic-look at pasl experience enables job candidutcs,
through oial practice ami role playing, to make a " e a s e " for
themselves. Alexander firmly
believes I lull "you're not hired
because you're Ihe besl in Ihe world
and ih only one who can do the job
— there are others probably as
good — you're hired because you're
Ihe besl available who makes the
best case." This systematic approach to past experience also
enables job candidates to discovct
what I hey really enjoy and find
rewarding in the doing. Revealing
these rewarding feelings can add lo
Ihe enthusiasm thai employers look
for. Nobody wants to hire a
deadbeal.
"II cun only help"
Plenty of positive feelings about
the series come from participants,
past and present, of JSS. Dorian
Pappas will graduate in December
with a BA in E c o n o m i c s :
"Introduction to Job Search gave
me insight into the do's and don't's
of finding a job. JSS can't hurt — It
can only help." When asked, Pappas said he'll definitely continue on
witli Seminars I through IV.

"Who's" Calling?
One of the most frequently called
residential phones in the world
belongs to a Los Angeles resident
named "ZZZZZ".
The man apparently convinced
the phone company that he was
known to his friends as "ZZZZZ"
because he fell asleep in class all the
time. Thus, he became the last entry
in the phone book, which was
l*»ZZZ..
iiii© N
ZZZZZ's intention all along.
Now, he has an automatic
answering m a c h i n e with a
humorous message to callers who
dial his number (213) 836-5566.
Keep trying if you get a busy signal;
after all, it may be one of the most
frequently called numbers in the
world.
Government Can't Produce Enough Pot
Robert Randall — the first
American to receive federally
grown marijuana to treat glaucoma
— is charging that the government's
failure to supply federally grown
pot to states which have legalized it
for medical purposes is "an
anything-but-marijuanu" attempt
to avoid dispensing pot.
Since 1978, 24 slates have passed
liberalized pot laws which would
allow them to use marijuana for the
treatment of glaucoma and cancer.
The federal government, which
originally staled that it would supply these states with federally grown
pot, is now claiming it does not
have enough marijuana to go
around. It says it will instead provide less potent capsules containing
THC, the active Ingredient in marijuana. However, cancer and
glaucoma patients who have used
THC* pills experimentally say ii is
less effective than real marijuana
and also produces unpleasant side
effects.
Randall, who has been receiving
government pot for the past four
years, recently found lite Alliance
for Cannabis Therapeutics — or
ACT — a lobbying group aimed ai
ending the federal government's
fool-dragging on marijuana use In
medicine.
He says, the United Slates
Medical Marijuana Policy is now In
chaos because ihousands of patients
who were promised federally grown
marijuana by their slates over a year
ago are — in his words — "being
thrown lo the street criminally 10
gel the pot they need."
According lo Randall, lite stales
have clearly demonstrated public
desire for medical marijuana
reform bin the federal bureaucracy
keeps changing the rules and agencies the slates must go through lo
obtain federally grown pot,
Randall says ACT will focus this
public desire lo make marijuana
medically available through the
legislative process, so that the decision lo use marijuana can be made
by a physician and patient, and not

The head of Hie U.S. Census
Bureau is predicting thai the nationwide citizen count laken this year
will have a profound influence on

will reflect a "dramatic change" in
the lifestyles of women over the last
ten years.
Census Bureau Director Vlncenl
Barraba says thai in 1970, most
women said they were liomemakcrs.
Today, however, lie says, half of all
women — and prubably Iwo thirds
of all women in llicil 20's and 30's
— are in the laboj force. As a
result, Barraba says this will show
up on the census as a dramatic
change in the wa.v cieiety is structured.

Barraba says the effects of the
change in women's lifestyles will be

types of dwellings thai will be bu.h
for people in the 21 si century to the
types of political alignments in national government.
For instance, Barraba says that

Ronald Reagan—
Conservative Inaction
In Action
David Priebe
1 find it necessary to answer Jeffrey
Shapiro's defense of Ronald Reagan that
appeared in the October 14th ASP. To be
fair, however, a wider critique of all three
major candidates is required, for they arc
more alike than dissimilar if inspected in a
scope of political discourse broader than is
usually found in this nation. If you find
Reagan unacceptable, as I do, then the
choice for the Presidency may turn out to
be - none of the above.
Mr. Shapiro first dealt with Mr. Fitzsimmons' Marxist critique of Reagan. That he
did so very briefly may be an indication Ihal
such arguments are not politically respectable in this country. This can only be lo the
harm of the people, for any limit of information limits the possible solutions to our
problems. However, this point takes on added significance when Reagan's own feelings are taken into consideration. As President of the Screen Actor's Guild in the post
World War 11 years, Reagan led the fight to
persecute actors suspected of Communist
tendencies. In looking back at the matter,
he never once questioned the validity of his
actions, merely calling for the reacceptance
of actors who had recanted their "wrong"
beliefs.
arms-control negotiations process, a policy
also seen in the defense expenditures called
for by the Republican platform. This policy
would only escalate the arms race, and
would force a series of undemocratic actions (the draft, support of tiictatot-allies)
in the effort to "keep up with the Soviets"
and remain "number one." Of course,
there is no true rationality that would even
consider the use of atomic weapons, yet one
wonders how Reagan could display any
sense of restraint and cooperation with the
Soviet nation he so firmly dislikes in the
event of potential military crisis.
Mr. Shapiro next dealt with the charges
that Reagan is unintellectual, that he supports "Manifest Destiny" or a fundamentalist attitude. Mr. Shapiro, didn't you hear
Reagan's acceptance spech al the
Republican convention? Did he not call for
a "crusade"? Did he not stop for a moment
of prayer — nothing less than a call that
God is on our side? And is il not his avowed
belief that the United States should be ihe
leader of the world? (If il is nol, you have a
lot of explaining to do.)
I am not suggesting thai Reagan is a
stupid person. However, it is indeed significant that he espouses such highly-charged
rhetoric, a "fundamentally" non-rational

However, the Pre-Law Association's peer
advisement offers a specialized form of
counseling that probably cannot be gained
from the SA peer advisers.
While it is inevitable that the Pre-Law

She caught our center ring stare. She
knew our hesitance.
" Y o u guys," she started. Stutter. Again.
" Y o u guys,you come here in your flannel

She had nailed us, loud and clear. Four
school kids on the run and on the town, giggling, utterly entertained but removed .in
their observer attire. We danced, we sang,
we memorized and recited, committed only
to this sense of awe and strangeness.
The Third Eye
Now we were back, six years ahead of our
sophomoric nihilism.
This night was to be the New York of our
dreams. Saturday evening entertainmenl
with woven tweed sophistication and rainbow diamond love affairs that smelled like
roses in the morning sun. It was to be the
New York of Sister Carrie's ascent and Jay
Gatsby's spoils, and page six of the New
York Post. How far a workingman's son
could go with an education!
The lights did not dim as the Orchestra
began to play. Still there was no place to
hide. Chins perched on finger tips absorbed
in concentration all around. Silk and satin
and young girls with flowers on healthy
aristocratic bodies, wondering about love in
their stiffness. We sat conspicuously among
the first few rows in our flannel and corduroy.
The orchestra played a tribute to Andre
Kastelanilz, who wanted any such gathering
to be a merry occassion. The music was (used with optimism all night. They played
Ravel. The God seduced the nymph. They
played a portrait of Abe Lincoln, and "Porgy

blacks in the hall besides Bess's proud
mother.

had In its darkness six years ago. If only

with a fuchsia lining and pastel confetti sash.
How would she keep It straight this year?
There was so much to remember It was dizzying. She shaded her eyes and kept walkng. The shoes hail to be flat. As close to the
earth as a kolkhoznik. And the ribbon. Tight.

English majors were still studying the same
things, which was reassuring. But what had

the sign queried, mimicking 60's slang. Cull
self-consciousness seemed to scream from
every corner of the red & black parachutist's
motif. She looked down at her comfortable
faded Levis and was reminded of Kabir's
words: "Keep with you truth, detachment,
and love." But this was Urbany and there
wasn't a Banyon tree to sit beneath for
several thousand miles. And what of Zen?
Hadn't that philosophy proved useless I n j l e

water output. He knew he could no! miss the appointment, for he
feared taking another sick day off from work. After accumulating a
record of dilligent service in his twenty-five year association with Ad
Research Records, Incorporated, he despised blemishing it whatsoever.
Arthur's appointment was for the purpose of reconfirming the impressions of two previous doctors that he was suffering from a
disease of the cornea, a package which included a treatment or two.
There was no known cure, but Arthur could wallow in the fact that
ophthalmologists were working day and night on the problem. Until
such time as the appearance of a full scale medical breakthrough, he
would have to just stand and soak in the shower, or performing activities that others of his sort do.. "Others," he said to himself. For
sure, the key word. He was to look upon himself as an other, with a
different set of values and a different way of living. Suddenly, Arthur
began feeling the pangs of discomfort that run up and down one's
spine when one is greatly confused. The question was, could he live
normally at all? And the pressure behind the thought built until it
broke, leaving a forty-three year old man yelling for help, with the
strong silent force of the shower raining down upon him like
everything else.
"So things must be considered," he thought. "My job." He sighed, knowing full well that he had earned his trade through reading
small numbers off a sheet of newspaper and punching them into a
computer with codes.
"My life," he thought and the notion of taking his own life crossed
his mind in a quick flash, before skirting away into the dark recesses
of his mind, where the thought stirs in all, but abounds in only a few.
Lack of courage was his excuse for this final solution. Besides, he'

friendly smile and the movement of the man's arm, which moved to
rest softly upon Arthur's shaking elbow.
"I'll walk you across, " mumbled the partially muted Arthur who
choked slightly while gulping down the lump in his throat.
The man put his hand over his mouth and then replaced it upon
Arthur's elbow. "Are you deaf, my friend?," he asked, knowing the
answer. Arthur struggled to read the blind man's lips through his
own tears, and after squinting to get every other word, he stuttered
the response of "ye . . ye . . yes!" He began to sob uncontrollably;
an action that was barely quelled by the thrust of a handkerchief into
his hand. The accompanying words, unread by Arthur were,
"Please my friend, dry your eyes so that 1 may be able to help with
your problem." A car honked obnoxiously at the pair who stood
motionless in the middle of the road, and the blind man poked
abrubtly at Arthur, who glanced quickly. Then he walked the man to
the other side of the street, emitting cries that were soon pacified in
the tear-soaking movement of the handkerchief.
~~~~~"
" The blind man felt for Arthur's
head and, upon finding, he
pointed it in a position with its
general direction aimed at his
mouth. Then he pointed at his
own lips and said, "Please, speak
slowly." With that he placed his
fingers on Arthurs lips and throat,
in order to feel the vibrations of the
sounds.
'I may be going blind," said Arthur, trembling wildly.
A sign of sympathy preceeded the man's response. "Such is life,
such is life."
They walked silently for a moment before the blind man asked.
"Tell me, my friend, what is it that scares you the most? Is it the
blur?"
"No. Isolation," replied Arthur and he imagined himself floating in
a world with nothing but absolute silence and total darkness. A
world without warning, where fear is king and victims are only pitiful
slaves to the cause of life's injustice. The self-pity was beginning to
increase again, but Arthur forced it back.
"Ah, that's understandable," said the blind man.
"It's the loneliness. The terrible fear of being all alone that makes
me lose control." Arthur's emotions were surging upward again,
and they forced all their energy into his next question of the blind
man. "Why me?"
"God's will," was the reply of the blind man.
Arthur shifted his head and hands from side to side in frustration,
and the other man lost his placement on Arthurs face. Silently, he
grabbed for a graspable facial feature and eventually found the nose.
"It's not God's will," Arthur cried, "This is never God's will."
"Well it's certainly not yours or mine, is it?"
"No," answered Arthur, wiping his eyes.
"Whatever you do, don't ask 'why me', ever," started the blind
man, "Because you'll end up feeling sorrier for yourself, and that's
no good."
"How do you know?," quizzed Arthur, his voice laced with an
edge of hostility. "What makes you so sure?"
The blind man chuckled slightly before announcing, "that's not
important. 1 just know. Besides, you know that yourself. You're just
having trouble realizing it. Haven't you thought about how bad it is
to ask that question of yourself?"
•*•
He was a child of three when he went deaf from a fever. His
parents asked 'why him' and the doctor answered their questions using all his medical knowledge. He was a younger man with brown
horn rims and coke bottle bottoms as glasses. He understood the
disease and calmed the parents, realizing their fear and self-blame.
The doctor saw the boy whenever possible and tried to open up the
ears of his mind to the beauty of sounds in imagination. "The boy's
had three years of hearing," he said to himself. "He can be saved."
The little boy needed time to develop his curiosity before asking
questions about his fate. When th3 time came, his parents had
already rehearsed their routine. But there was little feeling to what
they said. Words of comfort were given mainly when they were
cried for. It wasn't their fault, of course. Deafness was not something
they understood. The boy tried to comprehend by remembering the
past. He didn't ask 'why me' too often. He was busy, try ing to fit into
a life of special schools, children with varying levels of unacceptance, and a growth of senses due to the loss of one. And if his
parents' confusion, his doctor's understanding, and his view of
nature taught him anything, it was this — how to feel. And that was
something he did very well.
"Yes. Yes 1 know how bad it is to ask that of yourself," replied Arthur, remembering the blind man's question. He closed his eyes and
imagined his world, if without hearing and sight. Walls were closing
in and Arthur, red-faced and hands on forehead, screamed in
claustrophobic agony. Life seemed nearly lifeless.
"So don't ask the question. Ours is not to reason why, my friend.
Especially for you and I. Ours is but to do. There is no other way."

quite understand, and his confusion brought him back to reality.
There he stood, in front of the doctor's office, squinting at the blurred address before him.
"You're not shaking, my friend," said the blind man.
"I know," replied Arthur. "But I'm still nervous."
The two men parted and Arthur'walked up the stairs slowly, looking for office number 207. After reaching the second floor landing,
he glanced to his left, and his eyes met a long row of flowers,
planted in a soil box five feet long, and raised three feel off the
ground. Arthur walked over to the plants and smelled the honeylike sweetness of its velvet petals. After a sigh of satisfaction he,continued his walk through the aisle, looking at the numbers on each
door. He still wasn't ready to hear what the doctor might say — he'd
never be ready. But some thoughts had changed. "Mine is but to
do," he heard himself say, and he sighed sadly. He grabbed the
door handle, letting the coolness of the metal shoot through him,
and then entered the office, with the intent in mind of at least trying
to accept fate.
For some, life may seem lifeless. But for all who can feel, any
realization is possible. Possible to sense the wonder that is life. •

remarked that the band would rather play to

Burnel's Fender Bass blurted through the

typical bass lines, while Black's powerful
drumming, and Greenfield and Cornwall's
solos and rhythms meshed perfectly to the
English accented lyrics of Cornwall and

favorites as "Duchess," "Hangin' Around,"
"Baroque Bordello," and "In the Sewer."

Bob Radliff: Local H i t
A fter playing the local club circuit
r * l and dabbling in a number of dlfi s ^ f ferent recording ventures for about
four years, Bob Radllff finally struck a vein of
opportunity last month. Not only did he
release his first solo extended play record,
Diarmuid Quinn
containing four of his own originals, but he
was also recently notified that his "The Best
Years" was the winning entry In the amateur
easy-listening division of this year's
American Song Festival.
Radllff Is a 1976 graduate of Albany
State's music department and since then has
had stints with a number of local bands, injcluding Opus and, most recently, Nightshifl.
He has been writing and performing original
material for quite a while but didn't have a
base for an EP until he got involved In channels that brought what became the title track

Kubrick not chosen to use yet another
classical soundtrack for his film. The Shining, Radliff's song could very well have been
the theme.
The fact that it was not chosen led Bob to
decide to release the song on his own. What

Bob on WCDB and we talked about the

adding strong backing harmonies. According
to Bob it is the song that appeals quickly to
the college-type audience due to the straightforward style and lyrics.
The song on the EP that lias received the

Loading Zone." Bob says that this is the one
that he has been most approached about,
and that If a choice had to be made as far as
his preference goes, "Loading Zone" would
be the pick. It appears to be the only realty

one might find his major influences, as far as

there is really no definitive base or style from
which he works. A prime example would be

Radliff himself playing all of the lead guitar

writing capabilities as he lays down clean,

excellent harmonies.
Overall, Bob Radliff seems to have come

has the talent and material to back it up (he is
currently doing sessions recording tracks for
his own LP). Bob will fly out to Los Angeles
in November, courtesy of the Song Festival,
to compete with the winner of other
categories for the grand prize, and he also
has a couple of sessions lined up with studio

performer can get. He was the embodiment
of the Kings' performance; they tried to
create a party atmosphere and succeeded for
the most part.
The lad that the warm-up band decided
not lo show up hurt the Kings right off the
bat. With only one album under their bells,
the Kings had to stretch their material over
two sets. The first one started off with a tune
called "Love Store," which had Keyes off

vocalist, was no wooden Indian either. Diamond's playing was tight and there was a
nice guitar solo by Ayran Zero, who co-
writes most of the songs with Diamond.
They segued into quicker tempo with a tune
which had sirains of the Stones' "Jumping
Jack Flash" buried under Zero's gyrations on
guitar and dancing on stage. "Don't Let Me
Know" featured a nice rhythm background
by Diamond and drummer Max Styles, as
Keyes banged away on the ivories. "The
Beat Goes O n " began with a good guitar Intro, followed up by Styles' drumming, which
eventually became thunderous. There was
much more keyboard presence on this one
and Diamond's mention of "lunatics" In the
song suited It quite well.

The story Is stock fantasy really, written by
Richard Matheson, one of the better-known
science fiction writers from the fifiies. Usually
Matheson writes more horror-oriented
novels and stories, such as / Am Legend,
The Incredible Shrinking Man, and "Born of
Man and W o m a n . " Somewhere In Time,
based on his novel Bid Tin\e Return, is a
gentle story, and has a few fairly imaginative
touches.
Some of the best moments, though, come
out ui the direction. Jeannot Szwarc, who
directed Jaws 2, and like Steven Spielberg Is
a Night Gallery graduate, pays a great deal
of attention to small details, giving the film a
pleasant unity. Sometimes these are
mlnlsculc details, such as the print pattern of

Ump Strikes Back
To Ihc Editor:
This letter is addressed to all students included or interested in the A M IA intramural program here at S U N Y A . If, In
the next few weeks, you discover that there
arc no umpires showing up for games,
resulting in game cancellations; or if you
are a lucky team, you may have one umpire, it is because SA docs not care about
the quality or The SA Budget Committee
has allocated enough money to the A M I A
budget for officials to receive a measly
$2.50 per game or about $2.00 per hour for
having lo deal with the basic pressures and
hassles associated with being an umpire.
The responsibilities ol an umpire gu
beyond just umpiring games. I f you think
this is a petty gripe, go the A M I A office in
the gym, sign up to be an official, umpire
your first game, get called an asshole on
every close play, miss dinner, and then
receive your total o f $2.50 at the end of the
week.
We are urging all students who participate in any A M I A sport to go to the SA
office and tell them that you feci that the
officials should be gelling paid at least
minimum wage for their j o b . I f you don't
think they should, then have a hell of a lot

reflects but reinforces attitudes. For example, children's textbooks which use
"mother and father" in their typical roles
as housewife and breadwinner have a great
effect on maintaining those roles as they
arc, just as the use of derogatory language
when referring to blacks perpetuates
stereotypes many people are fighting
against. Part o f raising one's consciousness
is realizing how powerful an effect language

So, believe it, M r . Shapiro, there arc

Speak Up and Vote
To the Editor:
Three weeks to go and one thing is certain, there will be a presidential election.
Who will win? Who cares? Everyone
should. Whoever is elected to the oval office will have the future of Ihe country, if
not the world, in his hands for the next four
years. Although most everyone agrees none
of ihc candidates are " b e s t , " one must be
better. This is whom the American People
must hope will be elected.
Who would be the best? Nobody will cvel
be able to answer this question but we inusi
try and guess. We can see President
Carter's record. Perhaps the past passivism
In world politics is what is most needed.
Perhaps his attacks on Reagan and Ander-
son are a new President Carter — and
maybe this will be what we need.
Maybe we need Ronald Reagan, a
dedicated fatherly type. Perhaps
"irrelevant," as Mr. Anderson states,
Reagan, if surrounded with competent advisors and a powerful Congress, will keep
American on a steady course.
Perhaps the lime has come to rid
ourselves of the two-party system and elect
Anderson and Lucey. Nobody knows if an
independent would be truly independent or
pick up new bases. Would he meet with
hostility from a Democratic and Republican
Congress.
Mr. Carter says Mr. Anderson's candidacy is simply a Republican ploy to elect
Mr. Reagan. Anderson, however, agrees as
much with Reagan as Iran agrees with Iraq.
Fiach candidate must be judged on his own
merits and faults. Passivism and indifference can be detrimental to Ihc future of
the world. Every vote will count and as such
every voler must carefully decide who lo
vote for. Students of America, rise up and
be heard, and speak wisely.

UAS is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary by offering
the student body "super discounts" on merchandise. Sounds
good, doesn't it?
Go on and check it out in their advertisements in current
ASP's. The service will give you a whopping 30 cents off a lousy
meal, or a free medium point pen when you lose $3 or more from
purchasing goods in the Bookstore. Big Deal!
While we're pleased to see that they celebrate — we can't! Only
a campus of masochistic consumers would find joy in getting
ripped-off for thirty years.
Now the ASP isn't quick to denounce our own advertisers, but
when the services involved fail to make a fair deal, we feel we can
make an exception.
For instance, you can purchase a hero of equal weight and
substance at a local sub shop for much less than in the Rat. The
difference in quality, of course, leaves little debate.
And if you happen to be on the Campus Center dinner plan,
UAS provides you with a generous $1.80 toward your supper.
Two bucks couldn't even get you a turkey sandwich — never
mind a drink.
We won'l even waste your time discussing the beauty of our
Bookstore — the student body knows too well how this monopoly of services continues lo clip their butts. (Remember that sit-in
last year which lowered prices? Well, our ba. ks have turned and
they've risen again.)
The list goes on.
Thanks for the free pen, UAS. And for the 30 cents off my
sandwich, too. But il mighi be just as well if you kept your
coupons.
We're waiting for genuine efforts to make life more affordable
for low to middle income, public university students. And then
we'll celebrale loo.

"JSS and M r . Alexander do an
excellent j o b o f turning you about,
making you realize that you have a
capacity to do more than you think
you c a n , " says Jeremiah Schneiderman, an " e x - " full professor. A n d
for Schneidcrman a " t u r n i n g
a b o u t " is essentially the reason he is
attending JSS. After 19 years of
teaching Russian history at New
Pallz — a full professor for 10 o f
those years — Schnciderman, sporting impressive credentials, was
retrenched as a result of SUNY
budgcl-cutiing.
H e is n o w

curreiilly taking courses in library

" T h e end-product of JSS Is a
systematic job-search plan, complete wiih drafts of materials l o be
used in an actual job-search camp a i g n , " says Alexander. The
resume, Idlers of reference and a
record-keeping system of names,
uddrcsscs and phone numbers of
contacts, and people already seen,
arc all pari o f the job-search plan.
Record-keeping, Alexander noled is

" I i is w o r k , " says Alexander.
" T o wrile a resume is to undertake
a very challenging writing assignment
Before you can write
aiiylhinn, you have lo know what
you have lo say — and in order lo
do I ha I you have to t h i n k
systematically aboul yourself. A n d
you can't do dial withoul some
training and practice, It isn't easy,
by any means," Alexander conlends.
Over ihe years JSS has gone from
informal workshops, to resume
workshops (slill offered in conjunc- '
lion will) JSS) lo being, as Alexander stales, " o n e o f the most advanced programs of its k i n d . " (One
nole: Simple resume workshops
taken withoul Ihe benefit of JSS are
nol as good according lo Alexander. " I t ' s people writing aboul
themselves before
they l o o k
systematically at themselves, before
Ihey realize Ihcir goals.")
" W h y do people resisl?"
Only one myslery remains: Why
don'l more people attend JSS? O n ly 241 students look ihe seminar last
.semester — only 7 percent of the
May graduates!
" W h y do people resist?" Alexander lossed Ihis question out. His
answer: " T h e y want a simple
answer. . . bill it's a challenge lo be
creative, lo be self-assured, and to
be self-knowing. People feel they
d o n ' l need us and then come back
us desperate unemployed alumni,
begging for some help." Alexander
cited the example of a frantic call he
received from an alumnus on Ihe
West Coast asking Alexander whal
in the world lo do to find a j o b .
A blind doctoral
student,
Carloinc Forsberg, thinks highly of
JSS. " M r . Alexander and 1 discussed ways thai the seminar might
benefit the handicapped more. He
said to call in him at any time in the
future and I firmly believe that he
meant i t , " Forsberg said.
Job Search Seminar is a no-risk,
no-loss deal. The evidence is i n , the
choice is yours.

At the end of the fall campaign,
Skeel cannot help but be pleased
with his squad's performance.
After a hard recruiting year, the
coach is still laboring to turn
around the "stagnating" program
(as he called it last year) that he
took over in 1979.
" I was pleased with the improvement, "Skeel said. " O u r team lias
peaked ill the last eight games. Our
defense and pitching have been
especially tough. We're looking forward to a big spring season."

"Wc played a really good offensive game," said Albany coach
Amy Kidder. The Danes kept the
pressure on the Engineer defense
the whole game by shit'iing the attack toward the K l ' l end of Ihe
field. " W e wanted to keep pressing
offensively," Kidder continued.
The Danes opened up with Lisa

II you're a ' i n of the Albany
Slate defensive si ondary, then you
don'l want to remember the lasi
lime the Danes played Corlland.
Thai was two years ago, afid Ihc
Red Dragons Ihrcw for an
astronomical 436 yards. The Corlland quarterback was good on 34
of 67 passes, and one Red Dragon
receiver had 230 yards in catches by
himself. Yet, Albany won, 41-31.

445 yards in total offense against

Albany wishbone, behind an offensive line ihal Walsh called Ihc besl
he's seen here, may be able to exploit ihc weaknesses in the Red
Dragon defense.
Discipline is a problem on the
Corlland defensive unit, according
lo Albany coach Jacques Dussaull.
"They are good athletes'," Dussaull
said, "bul Ihey don'l play as a
leant. After a while, everybody was
irying to do the job on iheir own
(against Brockporl)."
"It's hard lo say something
positive about a team defense when
a leant runs for 500 yards against
Ihem," Dussaull concluded.
The keys to the Dragon's spread

controlling lite ball — ihc backs,

'They're nol rinky-dinks," said
Albany coach Mac Diange.
'Watching the (scouting) films, I
bought they were a much better
football team. Playing Brockporl,
they had their problems."
Defensively, they had some
massive problems. The Red
Dragons gave up 485 yards rushing
to the Golden Eagles, and lcl Ihem

game (Brockporl ran off 91 offensive plays lo 56 for Cortland). The
Eagles had 527 yards in total offense, despite 135 more nullified by

One reason for their defensive
difficulties might arise form the installation of the 4-4 defense by new
coach Ed Decker (a former Ithaca
assistant). The Red Dragons utilized a 5-2 alignment (which depends

"Their skill positions arc good,"
said Albany defensive coordinator
Mike Moita of Corlland's ballcarriers. "They're noi as bad as Iheir
record shows — al least nol offensively."
Al the helm of Ihc attack for the
Red Dragons will be sophomore
quarterback Jay Cicply. Normally a
45 percent thrower, he was only
good on seven of 21 passes againsi
Brockporl, with two interceptions,
but the completions were good for

When he throws the ball, Cieply

Debate Room Rate Increase
by Wayne Pccrchoom
SASU and SA sued Chancellor
Wharlon and Ihc SUNY Board of
Trustees in the Slate Supreme Court
Friday afternoon to contesi ihc recenl room rale increase.
The suil is based on an alleged
violation of the Open Meeting Law
involving closed meetings held by
I he Chancellor and ihc Board on
April 22 and May 28, 1980, according lo SA attorney Lewis Oliver.
Although the aclual vole on the rale
hikes was taken al an open meeting,
Oliver contended thai "the real
decision" was made at those closed
meetings, He used an affidavit signed by Student Trusie Sharon Ward
to reinforce (his claim.
Although Ihe judge's decision
will nol be known for some lime,
Oliver said hopefully ihal "Ihe
judge was interested in our
arguments." Oliver added thai SA
and SASU arc seeking 10 nullify ihc
Board of Trustees' decision 10 raise
Ihe dorm rales $150 per year over a
four year period, amounting io
$600. Oliver said if il is nullified,
money thai students have already
paid will be refunded.
Oliver claimed Ihal
Ihe
Chancellor "used Ihc device of closed session lo keep the decision making process secret" and, therefore,
"preventing student input," Since
Ihc open meeting was nol held unlil
May 29, Oliver said thai Ihe
students were prevented from
mobilizing" since most of Ihem had
left iheir campuses for Ihe summer.
He added thai student activity
could have made a difference, citing
Ihal student lobbying had assisted
in the pariial resloralion of univcrsiiy funds that had been cut in last
spring's slate budget.
discussed al the April 22 meeting
because "a provision in the executive law binds the student trustee
to silence."
Jane Snyder, who represented the
administration, said in rebuttal thai
"whatever was discussed at the
closed meetings was discussed at the
open one." She added ihal "there
was no way Ihc board could have
made a determination at the April
22 meeting." Snyder filed an affidavit signed by Ihe Chancellor,
which she claimed Ihal the rale
hikes were only one possibility during ihe closed sessions. Oliver said
ihal Ihe Ward affidavit confirmed
that the Chancellor had presented
different proposals, but "each plan
included a dorm increase."
Referring lo Ihe judge's extensive
questioning of Snyder, SA Attorney
Jack Lesler said, "The judge tried
to pul her on the spot and she never
really answered." He said this was a
"good sign" for SA and SASU.
Flasher Nabbed Near
Fine Arts Building
by Judie ICiscnberg
SUNYA Campus Police arrested
a man suspected of exhibitionism
in the Fine Arts Building lasi
Wednesday, accoring lo Investigator Gary O'Connor.
Kevin Golden, a 22-year old nonstudenl who has admitted exposing
himself before, was arrested for
loitering rather than public
lewdness because he "didn't get lite
opportunity to expose himself,"
O'Connor said.
According to Campus Police
reports, police began invesiigaling
ttic case after receiving several complainls from anonymous Fine Arts
female staff members. The women
-reportedly said ihal several limes
when Ihey left the building al 5
p.m., a man would expose his
genitals to them from an open window of the first floor men's room.
O'Connor said ihey caughi
Golden as he was fleeing from the
Fine Ails Building on Oclobcr 15.
He was arrested for loitering
because "he had no legitimate
business on campus ai thai lime,"
Assistant Public Safety Director
John Hcnighan said. Loitering is
the same level of charge as public
lewdness.
O'Connor added Ihal Golden
gave a weak slory when questioned
about his activities. "He claims he
always goes to Ihe bathroom in the
Fine Arts Building on his way home
from work," O'Connor said. "He
works in Albany and lives
somewhere else. He's a cupcake —
a real fruitcake."
"If it happens again," O'Connor
said, "We won't be as nice to him.
We'll teach him lo stay away. Wc
don'l need him.
O'Connor added Ihal Golden
was "very emphatically warned nol
to come back on campus again."
A c c o r d i n g lo O ' C o n n o r ,
Goldcn's arraignment was lo be
held in Albany Police Courl ycsierday. If found guilly, he could
receive a fine and-or 15-day jail
sentence for loitering.
"Flashers arc nol uncommon on
campus," O'Connor added. "The
University attracts a lot of them."
According lo Hcnighan, "Ii happens in lite dorms and in ihe gym —
especially in the women's locker
room."
There have been several previous
reports of men exposing themselves
on campus, O'Connor said. There
is even another flasher in the Fine
Arts Building, he reported.
O'Connor said police believe this
person may be 14-ycars old. Police
are still invesiigaling this case.
Another man was arrested two to
three weeks ago for exposing
himself in the gym. He was in the
men's locker room and he reportedly exposed himself to a female student on the pool's diving board.
Oliver added thai Ward could nol
have warned students of the rate
hikes after Ihey were initially
Sharon Ward, Chancellor Clifton Wharlon, and Sue Gold
Mel in court to argue alleged violation of Open Meeting Law.
No Verdict Yet on Gty Ordinance

I errlamie Falcone
"They'll get a lot of flack.
by Bruce Levy
Albany Common Council Housing and Urban Renewal Committee
Chair Joseph Bucchs promised on October 3 that the five-member
panel would meel within 10 days to discuss the proposed cily security
ordinance. However, nearly three weeks later no decision has been
reached on the ordinance whicli would set the minimum standards for
safety proteciion required by the landlords of rental housing.
While Ihe landlords complained al a public hearing about the expense of installing locks, solid core exterior doors, adequale lighting
and secure windows, tenants stated that Iheir safety must come firsl,
especially with Ihe Pine Hills Molester still at large and break-ins remaining commonplace incidents.
President's Task Force for Womens Safety member Terrianne
Falcone feels Ihal "on Ihe one hand women's safety is not important
to the Common Council, but on the other hand the delay may be due
to the large number of people who showed at the hearing, putting a lot
of pressure on the council. . . either way they'll get a lot of flack for
their decision."
SA President Sue Gold said she saw no significance in the delay, but
fell that "Ihc landlords had been very organized and very vocal in
stating their case against the ordinance." Gold continued that SA
would "review and evaluate all wc can do to make sure the ordinance
eventually is passed."
