Housing Rates to Rise $150
by Bruce Fox
A $150 increase in next year's
dormitory rales was approved by
the SUNY Board of Trustees ai a
meeting Wednesday.
Board Chairman Donald Blinkon
oiled inflation as the primary reason
for (he dorm rale hike.
Assemblyman Mark Siegel and
Senator Kenneth l.aVallc, both
chairmen o f legislative higher
education committees, sent letters
prior to the meeting urging the
trustees to postpone the dorm rate
hike vote one month " t o give
students a chance to [earn o f the
proposal." SASU President Jim
Stern echoed litis concern, charging
Ihul "the previous hike last May
was voted on before students knew"
about I I , unci now they're doing il
again."
Trustee James Warren defended
ihe board's decision to increase
dorm rales as being Ihc only
"responsible" thing to do.
" I can't see whal we would gain
by postponement," he said. " W e
have no choice in this matter — the
figures don'l l i e . "
Slern said he wasn't sure whether
figures justified the dorm rale hike
or not, since administrators have so
I in declined to show him any
figures.
According to SASU Organizing
Director Bruce Cronin, Ihc decision
of Ihc trustees was " n o t unexpected." He said the trustees were
likely lo approve till ileitis proposed
in Governor Hugh 1.. Carey's
budget message for 1981-82, and
ihc room rate increase was jusl one
item among many.
SASU's next step, Cronin said, Is
to i i y to prevent Carey's proposed
budget for SUNY from winning
legislative approval. He anticipates
a massive lobbying effort,
Other SUNY-widc rate Increases
proposed in Governor Carey's
budget include:
• A tuition rale Increase amounting lo as much as $300 per student.
• A board rate increase totaling
more than $.1 million.
• A $.100 room ronl charge for all
Residence Assistants {ending the
current "free r o o m " policy.)
Cutbacks proposed by the Governor include:
• A reduction o f $502,000 In the
Sludonl Loan Program.
• A reduction of more than $2
million in foreign sludcnl and
graduate student tuition waivers.

Reagan Begins Cutbacks
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) Presldenl Reagan, saying
there has to be " a change in direction" in the country
announced Thursday he is abolishing the Council on
Wage and Price Stability and prohibiting federal agencies from implementing new regulations for 60 days. In
an opening statement at his first news conference since
taking office, Reagan said the Council on Wage and
Price stability, which administered the Carter administration's anti-inflation program "has been totally
ineffective In controlling inflation and has imposed unnecessary burdens on labor and business." As for
budget cuts, Reagan said no area of government will be
exempt and he added that "the time has come where
there has to be a change in direction in this country. We
have lived beyond our means," be said. "Wc must gain
control of this inflationary monster." On Iran, Reagan
said "I'm certainly not thinking of revenge." The president said he expects the United Stales will honor the
agreements thai led lo release of (he U.S. hostages. A
day after his secretary of stale sounded a new hard line
loward the Sovlel Union, Reagan said thai "so far,
dclcnlc has been a one way slrccl ihai lite Soviet Union
has used for its own ends." As for his own view of
Sovicl intent, Reagan said, "I know of no leader of Ihe
Soviel Union since ihe revolution, including llic present
leadership, (lint has nol repealed more than once . . .
thai their goal musl be world domination."

U.S. Limits Arms to Iran
WASHINGTON, »•<-. (AP) The Reagan administration, slill suspicious of Iran, will nol deliver more Ihan
$450 million in U.S. military equipment purchased by
llic govcrnmenl of Ihe late shah, Seerclary of Stale Alexander M. Hnig says. Although Iran's revolutionary
government has nol requested delivery of Ihe equipment, Haig made il clear Wednesday Ihal the United
Stales had no Intention of honoring Ihal purchase agreement even if Iran asks for ihe goods and will Hoi enter
into any ruture contracts for military equipment with
Iran. "Lcj me stale cajcgorieully today there will lie no
mififary equipment provided lo the government of Irali;'
either mulct earlier obligations and contractual arrangements, or as yet unstated requests," lie said. Ilaig
said the United Slates might try lo sell the military
equipment — mostly spare purls for U.S.-built jet
fighters, tanks, helicopters and oilier weapons —
elsewhere and reimburse Iran for Ihe cash value of the
parts. In a telephone Interview Wednesday night with
ABC News, former Iranian Foreign Minister Sndegll
Cilmtlvatleh called Ihe U.S. posture "a very wrung and
unwise decision at tliis, time because . . . there are some
forces trying lo change llic entire weaponry system of
Iran." A Slate Department official said the issue of
military equipment, for which Iran paid $457 million,
was not raised during the final negotiations that led to
release of llic 52 American hostages.
Junta Critic Abducted
NI'.W YORK (Al1) A top Salvadorati human rights official may have been abducted and possibly slain
because of comments lie made in a television documentary shown in ihe United Stales, a producer says. Victor
Medrano, director of Ihe Snhadoran Human Rights
Commission, was abducted Monday on bis way lo work
and has not been seen since, according to a commission
spokesman. Medrano was the most outspoken critic of
ihe Salvadorati junta in a Public Broadcasting Service
documentary entitled "HI Salvador — Another Vietnam?" "It's pretty obvious lo us that somebody was
monitoring the film for the Salvadorati junta, and that
Medrano was targeted because of his statements," PBS
producer Glenn Sillier said Wednesday,
Oil Control Lifted
NKW YORK, N.Y. (AP) Americans could be paying a
dime a gallon more lor gasoline and heating oil as a
result of President Reagan's decision lo abandon price
controls on the nation's oil supply, Industry analysts and
government officials say. Bui Ihc'movc should also help
ihe United Stales conserve oil, spark increased domestic
production and reduce the imports that now provide
nearly 40 percent of the country's petroleum needs, they
said. Shortly after the decision was announced, Exxon
Corp. said that, effective today, it is raising wholesale
prices ul gasoline 2 cents lo 3 cents a gallop and increusInn ihosc for home healing oil and dicsel and jel fuel 1.5
cents lo 3 ceuls a gallon. However, a spokesman tin l.\xon, tin- nation's largest oil company, said the Increase,
which can be passed on by retailers, reflected past crude
oil price increases and was not sparked by Reagun's-ac-
tlon. Reagan decided Wednesday to lift controls eight
months before they were due to expire. President Carter
began lifting the controls in June 1979, and industry
spokesmen estimated that only 20-25 percent of
America's crude oil remained under control by Wednesday. U.S. fuel use already has dropped sharply after
more than two years of sharp price increases, and
Energy Secretary James Edwards said the early lifting of
petroleum regulations would cut consumption 50,000 to
100,000 barrels a day more — or as much as 0.5 percent.
The expected drop in consumption "will take some
pressure off world oil markets," said Daniel Ycrgin,
director of the International Energy Seminar at Harvard
University's Center for International Affairs. "The war
still goes on between Iran and Iraq," cutting off 3
million to 4 million barrels of oil exports a day, "and
there's still the threat of a tightening in oil supplies by
spring or summer," Ycrgin said. The precise effect of
decontrol on prices was not known. Standard Oil Co.
Ohio said "the near-term impact on the consumer could
be an increase of 7 lo 10 cents per gallon" in Ihe prices
consumers pay for fuels. However, Edwards said
motorists may pay 3-5 cents a gallon more for gasoline
and the impact on home healing oil prices would be
negligible, if any.
Peru and Ecuador Clash
LIMA, Peru (Al') All old dispute between Peru and
Ecuador over access lo Ihe Amu/on River erupted in

Poland to Stem Strikes
WARSAW, Poland (AP) Both the government and
moderate leaders of Poland's independent labor movement sought today to stem a growing rash of wildcat
strikes taking millions of workers from their jobs and
raising new fears of Soviet intervention. The government sent a negotiating delegation to one major center
of labor unrest, the southeastern city of Rzeszow, where
some 300 peasants and workers have been occupying Ihe
official trade union's former headquarters since Jan. 3
demanding talks on the delay in granting a charter lo an
independent farmers' union and olher grievances. A
union leader in Rzeszow said Lech Walesa, the national
chief of Solidarity, and the oilier 10 members of the big
independent labor federation's presidium would
negotiate for the peasants and workers while Slanislaw
Ciosek, the minister of Hade union affairs, headed Ihe
government team. Local labor leaders called a general
strike Wednesday in the Rzeszow and nearby Jaroslow
areas, and Warsaw Radio said millions of workers there
and elsewhere stayed off the jobs. With Ihe wildcat
strikes threatening to get oul of control, Walesa and
other moderate solidarity leaders launched a two-prong

Women's Safety Issue Studied
by Sylvia Saunders
Requests for increased women's
safety measures have been made for
the 1981-82, budget by the Pies-,

Business Vice President John Hartigan.
Last year the Task Force received
$10,500 for emergency telephones,
$2,000 for the cosl of the Commission, and $5,000 for Student
Patrol. This year the Task Force requested approximately twice that
amount.
" W e don't expect to get

some of the requests are more imporlanl than others. We decided lo

costing $1,175, in the Hawlcy parking lot on the Draper campus. This
additional emergency phone, intended for Ihe exterior grounds of

UAS Plans Renovations
Aims for Better Food Service
by Frank Gil
To "improve customer service
and increase sales," University
Auxiliary Services (UAS) is planning to renovate the Campus Center
cafeteria and the Rathskellar snack
bar this summer, according to UAS
manager E. Norbert Zahm.
The main objective for the
cafeteria would be remodeling the
eating areas in a sectionalized
fashion, improving the lighting,
putting in new furniture, and
developing a pew traffic pattern for
easy customer movement," Zahn
said.
Zahn plans to renovate the snack
bar to make better use of the space,
and to make it more attractive and
energy efficient.
"The main problem with the
snack bar is that in order to provide
the quickest service possible a fast
food menu, like McDonalds would
have to be implemented. But this Is
not wanted. We are losing sales
because we can't gel people through
quickly enough, bin we feel serving
fast lood would not he the
answer.
Zahn explained,"Cashiers cannot be linked with the food handlers
due to health regulations. UAS,
unlike a McDonalds, does not have
its food prc-wrapped, which
enables their cashiers to handle the
food."
University approval is needed for
the renovation, but Zahn fcols any
reasonable plan will be approved.
UAS will pay Tor the rcnovatio. s,
although both the snack bar and
Campus Center cafeteria are on
state owned properly.
Zahn plans to first rertiodcl the
cafeteria during the month of June,
and the snack bar during the remainder of the summer. "If we
closed both services at the same
time, we would lose too much
money," Zahn said.
Zahn added that students are Campus Center Cafeteria
welcome to send in ideas for the Soon lo be remodeled by UAS.

Oswego State May Lose Lab
by Wayne Pcereboom
The Oswego State campus school
laboratory may be eliminated due
to cuts in that college's budget, according to Oswego State Provost
Ralph Spencer.
Spencer said he proposed to close
the lab in response lo Governor
Hugh L. Carey's 1981-82 budget,
which calls for the elimination of 26
positions at Oswego Slate. Spencer
n
said Ihc school, which has just
under 300 nursery through sixth
grade public school students, "is
what we'd call an auxiliary enterprise." According lo Spencer, 20
positions would be dropped if the
school were eliminated,
Spencer noted, however, that his
proposal must be approved by the
SUNY Central administration
before the school could be closed.
Buying is Believing
The school is used for practicing
student teachers and for observation by psychology classes.
The students, Perdue said, will be
placed in'lhc Oswego public school
system if his proposal is approved.

The 1972 documentary concert
film "Pink Floyd at Pompeii" is
the latest rock film to be released on
video disc.
An RCA Seleet-a-Vision subsidiary has purchased the rights to
the film, and the company reports
the movie will be released on video
disc later this year.
The disc will include not only
footage of Pink Floyd performing
among the ruins of Pompeii, but
also filmed sequences of the group
in the studio as they recorded their
big-selling album, "Dark Side of
the Moon."
RCA says his Pink Floyd film
should be perfect for the home

a "cult" film in recent years.

rain drops keep
Acid rain is causing a growing rift
between Canada and the United
States.
When sulphur dioxide from coalfired power stations and industrial
complexes mixes with atmospheric
moisture, the result is sulphuric
acid, which eventually falls to the
earth as "acid rain."
According to New Scientist
Magazine, the U.S. sends six
millions tons of sulphur dioxide into Canada every year, and as a
result, hundreds of lakes in Ontario
are already "dead" — thai is, fish
life cannol be sustained — and
48,000 other lakes arc al risk.
John Roberts, Canada's Minister
of S t a t e for Science a n d
Technology, told a recent meeting
of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, "We are
frustrated in our efforts in Canada
(to control acid rain) by Ihe simple
fact that at least half of the problem
stems from sources outside our
jurisdiction."
The two countries are currently
negotiating a formal treaty for controlling the sulphur dioxide pollution, which is expected to be completed in 1982.
Meanwhile, Canadians are particularly worried, New Scientist
says, that President Carter's Administration will launch energy projects based on coal and will water
down the Clean Air Act. That
legislation, which controls emissions of the pollutant, comes up for
reauthorization this year.

. Legislation introduced in the last
Congressional session, and likely to
be passed under the recently convened 97th Congress, could rcsull In
a crackdown on sources who release
information deemed to be a threat
to national security.
Two bills, introduced in both the
House and Ihe Senate, and known
collectively as the "Intelligence
Identities Protection Act," would,
in effect, make releasing the names
of known intelligence agents a
crime.
The Progressive
Magazine
reports that the legislation, if passed, would amount to an American
version of Britain's "Official
Secrets Act." That legislation was
passed during what The Progressive
calls the "Spy Fever" era in 1911.
Under the act, a judge can declare
any Information a secret, whether it
is one or not, and impose criminal
penalties on anyone who divulges
the alleged secret information.
If passed, the U.S. legislation
would outlaw the identification of
intelligence agents, and could also
be used to impose criminal penalties
for publishing information that
might help in such an identification.
According to The Progressive,
the act would specifically target The
Covert
Action
Information
Bulletin,
a Washington-based
publication which Identifies CIA
agents in each issue. T h e
magazine's editors say the identifications are made entirely on the
basis of public information,
however.
The Progressive says that, if passed, the legislation would allow the
U.S. government to classify
intelligence-related information
from its inception without going
through any legal process to determine what should or should not be
censored.

Health Gripe
To (he Editor:
I must relate a most frustrating experience to the university community. On
Monday, January 26 I injured my upper lip
while playing racketball and went to be
treated at the SUNYA Student Health Service. A doctor recommended that I receive
a stitch to help in the healing process.
Because there were no drivers at the infirmary, I had to drive myself downtown to
,St. Peter's Hospital while holding an ice
pack to my mouth. Upon reaching the
emergency room, I was told that I would
have to wait about an hour to be treated
because it was quite busy.
While I expected to wait to be treated, I
did not anticipate a one hour wait to turn
into a three hour ordeal. Frustrated and
disgusted after waiting for three hours, I
left without getting a stitch.
What infuriates me the most is that I had
to go through all this trouble for a relatively
simple procedure. The infirmary is a
medical facility and should certainly be able
to render a simple procedure such as stitching for minor injuries. Instead, students
have to be subjected to horribly long waits
at local hospitals. Sure there are budget
cuts but that's no excuse when it comes to
health and well being of students.

The following will serve as examples:
•The residence staff, as a policy, violates
the r\g,Yus of privacy and the due process
rights of students by entering the rooms of
students without prior notification and conducting judicial hearings violating fundamental principles of fairness.
•The administration has used the process
of placing "hold" on students' records and
have very often prevented students from being able to register for classes before there
has been an impartial- adjudication of
claims against the student. Therefore,
students unfairly accused of owing the
university money can have their entire
educational future disrupted.
•The university refuses to recognize the
dormitory contract as having equal status to
that of a leases, therefore, denying students
their right to use rent money as leverage to
insure housing that guarantees their health,

•The focal administration has not advocated improved bus service for offcampus students.
•The university has no mechanism to
review improper actions against students by
university personel , i.e. professors or campus security.
The above arc only a portion of what I've

To the Editor:
The idea that since 1977 Assemblyman
George Hochbrueckner has been attempting to obtain political support for legislation to increase energy-conservation

introduced as legislation (A.11752) and this
time Assemblyman Hochbrueckner sent letters to college presidents requesting ". . .
comments and support " of the legislation.
In 1979 the issue was again introduced as
legislation (A.2709) and Assemblyman
Hochbrueckner sent letters to the SUNY
Board or Trustees for their assistance and
political support. The end result of this

World Government"
To the Editor:
Many people support the United Nations
hoping thus to better the world. My contention is that they must now begin to prepare
for the next step which is a world government under constitutional law. This world
government would be agreed to by all nations, with a world court to which all international problems must be taken, and
whose edicts can be enforced by an international police force. Tltis the United Nations
cannot do, not being a government, though
it has been, and will be, of the greatest
value until such an international government can take ils place. Peace may be the
opposite of war, but the only alternative to
war is the rule of law.
Since modern technology has drawn the
countries of the world into a single, global
community, that community must be
governed noi by some self-serving interest,
but by a world govcrnmcnl under constitutional law if we are ever to achieve a lasline
peace. Our present efforts toward a peace
seem, to me, impractical. We urge all nations to love one another and lay down I heir
arms. Maybe they will in some unbelievably
distant future, but I want Ihe killing and
misery stopped before that.
Also, it is impractical to expect the
responsible leaders or any nation to expose
ils citizens to attack from other nations.
Even a reduction of armaments is a very
chancy thing. Remember lite agreement not
to use poison gas in World War I? It worked only until the crunch came. Furlher-

was not positive, but, the SUNY administration did raise the rent to pay for the
costs of housing and heating.
The problems in the Persian Oulf, the rising oil prices, and the non-appropriation or
funds for energy-conservation measures by
the federal and slate governments indicates
that the policies are misdirected. To allow
the SUNY administration, the Governor,
the state Legislature, and the federal
government to ignore the issue is to
foresake friends, family and self so as to
continue the policy.
If you care, write Assemblyman
Hochbrueckner and your state Legislative
representatives about the issue and indicate
your political support for it's inclusion in
the 1981-82 budget. Also, since the SUNY
college presidents already know about this
legislation, then contacting your student
association's representatives could provide
the political support that is needed for Implementation of energy-conservation
measures on SUNY campuses, thereby,
stabilizing rents.

Under S.S. Martin, the days dropped
into unbreakable routine. Awake at
0500 hours, downstairs fully dressed for
reveille at 0 5 0 5 , breakfast after clean-up
at 0600 (the same meal every single
day), a march back to the barracks to be

from Air Force security, the Soviet
threat, to four hours on how to wear a
uniform. They were abysmally boring,
but falling asleep was considered an act
of treason,

conditioning, ended at lights out,

because he couldn't stand shaving every

Entitle this, " T h e Beginning .of the

One month into basic, we were
assigned to K.P., much like working for
college food service except for the
hours: 0 4 0 0 (that's 4 a.m.) until 0830.
But we looked forward to it as a chance
to relax from the mental pressure of the
barratks. Unfortunately, working in the
dish room aggravated a skin condition
on my hands. It's been diagnosed as

feel that I, too, must put uown on paper my
personal list of the Ten Best Albums of 1980.
Here they are In no particular order:
— Bruce Springsteen: The Bluer
Springsteen Is an artist who Is continually trying to better himself, and once again he succeeds. The River Is a masterfully produced
album In which the artist demonstrates
writing at Its best, with the E Street Band providing the music. The album rocks the way
rock V roll was meant to, lean and strong.
' — Steely Dan: Gaucho
Another fine work by two unequaled
songwriters, Walter Becker and Donald
Fagen, the long awaited Gaucho is
everything It promised to be. It is a richer,
fuller album than Steely Dan's last one, Aja
and Is definitely as satisfying. This Is not
Steely Dan at their best, but then even at
their worst, Steely Dan is head and
shoulders above everybody else.
-Talking Heads: Remain In Light

are, but the T-Heads apparently do, and by
utilizing them, they've put logether an amaz-
Rockpile: Seconds 0 / Pleasure
Why two successful solo artists would give
up their Individual careers to form a band
together Is the riddle here. The answer is fairly obvious — to make good solid rock 'n'
roll, and in doing this, they succeed. Billy
Bremner, Dave Edmunds,"Nick Lowe and
Terry Williams make music that brings back
memories of the early days of pop rock.
— Bob Marley: Uprising
Reggae has caught on with the English new
wave bands as witnessed by the Police and
the newest release by Joe Jackson, and Bob
Marley can take a lot of the credit for that. As
with his other fine works, Marley wrljes of
—The Police: Zenyatta Mondatta
Wllh the release of Zenuatta Mondatta, The
Police have given us a trilogy of fine albums,
each better than the one before It. They have
taken reggae and transformed It into
something different and totally their own.
The music Is crisp and punctuated by lead
singer Sting's hypnotizing bass, along with
very catchy lyrics.
Sting of The P o l i c e : A u n i q u e

— Rolling Stones: Emotional Rescue
So the Stones are all washed up, huh? Try
telling them that. Once again, Mick Jagger &
Co. have come out with an album that is the
essence of rock 'n' roll, and If you can
disregard Mick's singing on "Emotional
Rescue,"' is pure Stones. Keith Richards and
Ron Wood handle their Instruments
superbly, and drummer Charlie Watts and
bassist Bill Wyman keep everything running
smoothly. Truly a great album; gentlemen,

After a few disappointing albums, David
Bowie is back In style with Scary Monsters.
This Is Bowie at his best, with songs that
snap, crackle and pop. Good examples are
the title song and the hit "Ashes to Ashes".
— Peter Gabriel
This Is the third album by Mr. Gabriel, and It
should stifle all the critics who said that he
could not make It on his own. The album Is
sometimes strange, but always excellent, as
Is Peter Gabriel himself. "Games Without
Frontiers" and "I Don't Remember" are the

Liking The Pain
Jack Nuthall
When Lynn Halsey Taylor (Sandra

those things all the time. And when Clyde

it, It does appeal to the hostility many have
toward those public servants. Even the very
cheap special effect visual of super-imposing
the head of Phllo's aging foul-mouthed
mother (Ruth Gordon) on the body of Bo

movies, bul the fact that 1 had no
preconceived Ideas about Popeye seemed to
make II more Interesting. I knew Ihe
character from the cartoon, of course, but
with Robert Allman directing a Jules Feiffer
screenplay there was no guarantee the
character would be the same. At the very
least I expected that these two brilliant and
creative minds (along with Robin Williams
and Shelley Duvall, who are no slouches)
would come up with something Interesting. I
was wrong. It's not that Popeye is a bad
movie. It's Just strongly divided and hence
rather boring.
Altman and Feiffer are obviously torn between a desire to make the kind of personal,
Idiosyncratic film they've always made, and
the safer, more commercially oriented version producer Robert Evans wanted and
needed to make. Some films can thrive on
this kind of conflict and become stronger
because of It, but Popeye has all the depth
and complexity of a two hour cartoon. There !
simply isn't a strong enough framework for
everyone to do what he wants, leaving both
the film and the audience In a state of limbo.
The conflict In the film Is evident In a
number of ways. For one thing, Popeye .'
looks, like an Altman film, but the
characteristics that make it so are put in so
obviously it almost looks like someone directing in Altman's style. The use of the town,
peripheral
characters
and
an
underdeveloped soundtrack' are all
hallmarks of Altman's films, but they don't
seem lo be present for any reason but the
(act thai Allman uses them in every film. The
town of Sweethaven, like Presbyterian.
Church in McCabe and Mrs. Miller, is as
much a character as Popeye or Olive; In fact
the entire opening number (the film Is a
musical, of sorts) serves to alert us that
Sweethaven as a community should be one
of our major points of Interest. Unfortunately, Altman never develops the theme as he
had In previous films. There Is no conflict
between the Individual and the citizen
because no one Is ever explored closely
enough. Nor Is there any real change in the
town's altitude. True, they seem hostile to
Popeye at th,e start, but their "conversion" at
the end seems to be motivated by the
demands ol the plot rather than any moral
sland.
•'The secondary characters here,Jurilike in•<
McCabe, Ihe Allman film this most closely
resembles, serve only as comedians.
Whereas Keith Carradlne's cowboy and Ihe
lawyer had significant roles in McCabe. and
virtually everyone in Nashville was a secondary characler, the citizens of Sweethaven
are merely amusing rustics who add color,
but not depth, to the overall vision.
This film, merely because of its origin, is
too broad for Altman's experimentation wllh
sound to work. In his other films we could
only hear parts of the dialogue — the sound
was sometimes too fuzzy to get anything but
the general drift of a conversation. But it
worked because it gave the film a quality of
being covertly observed — the audience was
put in ihe role of eavesdropper. But here,
with characters already well known to the
public, the technique is merely irritating.
Popeye and Olive are "public domain," and
since they rarely say anything truly
fascinating, it seems unlikely that we would
feel like uninvited observers.
Feiffer's sardonic brand of wordplay is
hardly suited to comic strip adaptions, but he
is able to provide the film with many of its
more enjoyable moments, (However, one
can't help wondering how much of the
humor comes from Williams and a cast that
was encouraged to improvise as much as
they wished. In an American Film article,
Feiffer expressed a degree of displeasure at
' the way the cast, especially Williams, were
"playing" with his script.) There are very funny and inventive lines, but they are hardly
enough to sustain the entire film.
The confines of Feiffer's plot prevent the
kind of dark humor that distinguished Carnal

Popeye Is certainly better than the SuperMan/ Flash Gordon school of comic strip

more, when we, as pacifists, ask our nation
to disarm, or limit armaments, are we being
fair to al the non-pacifists (who have an
equal right to their belief) when we ask
Ihcm lo give up their only protection? We
don't even tell them how disarmament can
be safely accomplished. We may be willing
lo be martyrs to the cause, but we arc asking them to be victims of our belief.
The only fair and practical way to disarm
is lo have a world government under constitutional law with an international police
force capable of protecting all nations as
they completely disarm. Since such a police
force would'cost so little compared with the
present armies of the world, think or the
money saved for worthwhile purposes.
Greed and lust for power may yet embroil
Ihe world in a terrible armed conflict, but,
even so, let us start to teach the peoples of
the world thai there is a belter way of settling differences by creating a world government under constitutional law.

A Misunderstanding
To the Editor:
Birthright, Inc. was delighted to have
been included in your article "Pregnancy,
It Wouldn't Have Fit into My Life. "
The whole situation is devastating and wc
applaud anyone who shows sincere interest
in helping to alleviate it in a humane manner. However, I was upset by the interpretation of one of the quotes that I supposedly made according to Judie Eiscnbcrg.
Specifically, " T h e blggcsi problem,
especially if ihe girl chooses in how an
abortion is Ihe psychological I'aclor, The)
need n lol of support in older lo be more
emotionally able to deal with it. "
Wc counsel any women on all aspects of
pregnancy and do alert her as to what abortion entails and any possible ramifications,
especially the emotional ones, she may incur. If she chooses abortion, we cannot
console her in that decision, as your article
states. Since we regard mother-to-be and
her baby equally, that would be sheer
hypocrisy.
We do tell her that our services arc always
available to her in the future. Many times
this does involve a woman that already had
an abortion. She comes to us, emotionally
distraught and in need of loving support to
reaffirm that she is still a person of worth,
that she can learn fron her mistakes and
direct her life with more self-esteem and
confidence by choosing positive solutions
to her problems. I am well aware that your
interpretation of the quote could have been
a misunderstanding.

For S a l e
Winning Form Back For Jayvees
by Marc Haspel
ONEONTA — With over a third of
the season gone by, the Albany
Stale junior varsity basketball team
may be returning to early season
form — the form that the Danes
displayed early in the season with
their two opening wins and the
form that the Danes lost over the
nexl six contests. On Tuesday night,
the jayvees defeated the Oneonta
J.V., 65-53.
The game was never really close
to begin with. Wilson Thomas'
game opening slam dunk, though
penalized with a technical, sparked
a fiery Dane offense, which for the
first lime in a long while was pa
tient and executed well. Thomas'
personal flame was never extinguished either, as he lead all
scorers with 24 points.
Albany, scoring I I consecutive
points, jumped out to an early 13-2
lead. Realizing the futility of the
man-to-man defense against the
Danes cautious offense, Oneonta
J.V. basketball coach Hal Chase
removed four of his five starters
and replaced them with smaller but
faster men. II helped at first but il

certainly was not enough. By
halftime, Albany held a commanding 35-19 lead.
"We brought in the small guys to
try to press after the big guys played
man-to-man. But our guys just do
not have a lot of experience," said
Chase.
The second half of play was a bit
sloppier on the part pf both teams.
Albany lost some poise and had
trouble working offensive plays.
But Oneonta lost more than poise,
the Red Dragons lost all cohesion.
Oneonta
committed
many
fouls, eralicaily reaching in on the
Danes. Onconta's big gun, former
varsily player Tom Pelrowski, was
in foul trouble with four personals
and had an off night, scoring only
six points.
Billy Everett's basket with 5:36
left gave lite Danes their third twenty point lead of the game, in (he
final 4:55, after a slcal and bucket
by Dragon Andy Liss, Oneonta
went on to outscorc Albany, 10-6.
But the Danes' wide margin was too
much loo overcome as lime ran out.
"Discipline is important. They
oulscorcd us for a while al the end.
It's always nice to get a win on the
record, but we've got to try to
discipline ourselves," said Albany
J.V. basketball coach Rick Skeel.
"Everyone we played did a good
job tonight."
One Dane in particular, Thomas,
continued his fine play and currently is suiting up for varsity games.
After the Oneonta game Thomas
noted the Danes offensive poise.
"We weren't just shooting from
the outside. The last few games
we've been shooting low percentages but this game we shot high
percentages," said the freshman
forward.
While Albany played an improved brand of team ball, their opposition was not formidable. The
Oneonla junior varsily is a building
learn, lacking real experience. " W e
try to play everyone and are
primarily experimental — a leant on
display," said Chase. "But I'm
human and I'm upsel when I lose."
That six game losing streak which before the Oneonta victory, the
started back in November included Danes had extended their, losing
three intcrscssion losses. On streak with one last loss to DartJanuary 17 the Danes lost their so I mouth by a walloping 84-58 final

Women's Basketball Ends Slump £prjMP0 epfjctr mm
by Lorl Cohen
After a lol of somewhat disappointing play over the winter break,
the Albany Stale women's basketball team broke out of it's slump o f
apathetic play in a squeaker against
RPI Wednesday night at University
Gym. The women came up on the
short end of a 56-61 final score, but
singed a last minute comeback to
make it close.
The game began on a high note
for the charged up Danes. Coming
out, and continuing for the whole
game, in an aggressive man-to-man
defense led by Luannc LaLonde,
ihe women kept it close throughout
I k firsl twenty minutes of play.
The lead, never getting lo be more
ilian three points, changed hands
often in ihe last paced game. Lynne
Uurlon, covering RPPs six foot
high scorer Mary Halloran, and
Chris Carmala played excellent
defense for the Dunes. Cannula,
even though dwarfed by her player,
managed to grab 10 rebounds for
the ganic. A l the half the score was
even al 25-25 and ihe momentum,
along with breaks, going in
Albany's favor.
Once out of ihe locker room for
Ihe second half though, Ihe Dunes
hit a cold spol. Unfortunately K I ' I
got hot, hilling eight shots on
perfect shooting, for the firsl six
minutes of the second half. Albany
began lo gel back into the game and
staged an exciting comeback, scoring 10 points while holding KIM lo
none, in the closing 1:40. Uurlon
finished with 22 points and 26 rebounds while Nancy Halloran, also
a defensive siandoul, had 13 points
and five steals.
This game proved quite a difference from the games Ihe women
played over Ihe break. Their most
recent loss was an 84-73 loss lo a
scrappy, yel very quick, Union
Icam, now 1-4. A team with less
height than Ihe small Danes, Union
played a fast-paced, hustling game.
Albany was a direct contrast lo Ihe
always moving and boxing oul
Union women. Albany execuled
well, bul loo slowly; (here was little
extra movement, The Danes seemed
in slow molion. Menially, Albany
was not prepared lo play. Union
had excellent shooters, rarely missing, bin when they did, there were
no Albany defenders to rebound.
" W e had little rebounding on either
end of ihe court. Plus they had
some excellent shooters," commented Albany women's basketball
coach Amy Kidder.
Uurlon proved ihe only bright
spot, as she did Ihe whole break.
She poured in 28 points and managed lo grab 18 rebounds, almost as
much as Ihe rest of Ihe Albany
learn. During Ihe lasi 10 minutes,
Uurlon look control and her teammates, sensing this, began lo Wci\
her Ihe ball. "She played an excelleul game," eommenled the
Union coach.
Tile Danes sole win was over an
inexperienced C l a r k s o n i c a m ,
Possessing a loi of raw unmolded
lalenl, they got called on a lol o\'
skill fouls. Albany played well and
il showed on Ihe scoreboard, 73-37.
Executing excellently, Albany piled
up Ihe points early in the game. The
standout for Albany, al both cuds
of ihe court, was Halloran who
threw in 24 points, Uurlon and
Carol Wallace also played well,
scoring 16 unci 10 points, respectively.
LcMoyne, a Division II icam proved lo lie more than Ihe Danes
could handle. Nol losing a single
player lo graduation, LcMoyne
held a tremendous advantage ovei
ihe rebuilding Albany team. Each
Icam played ils kind of game and
eventually LeMoyne pulled away,
winning 84-46. Kidder admitted,
" W e are nol ready lo play al I lint
level. We slill have some rebuilding
lo d o . " Uurlon was ihe high scorer
again with 15 poinis. Co-caplalns
Halloran and Laurie liriggs each
pouted in eight poinis.

basketball rivalry, proved to be one
of the most exciting games of the
season. The game was close
Ihoughoul. To win, Albany had lo
stop Potsdam's quick guards from
executing the fast break. They did
for almost three quarters. Uurlon,
Albany's high scorer and offensive
leader, was Ice cold ihe first half
and was kepi from scoring. Yet,
always hustling, she grabbed 16 rebounds and five steals al Ihe half,
while Halloran and Chris DeSainis
had eight and six poinis, respectiveiy.
After the half, Uurlon came out
hot, throwing in 19 second half
poinis. Hut il was nol enough. The
turning point came at 7:28 in the second half. After hilling Iwo foul
shots and a technical, Burton led
the Danes lo within one. Albany
llien slopped doing everything they
had been doing well; things stopped
going Albany's way and Potsdam
closed oul the game in Ihe final
minutes, " W e hnd them by the

Not Even A Nice Place To Visit
by Bob Bclluflorc
O N K O N T A — The place is a pit. It's cold looking — not very well lit,
with stark, gray cinder block walls that only a home team could love,
or even feel comfortable with. It's close — the fans arc right there next
to the action. And although the place doesn't hold many people, when
the ones that do fit get whooping and screaming for their hometown
favorites, a visitor only wanls lo finish Ihe game and get out. The Tans
are just as uninviting as the building they sit in. When they see their
Oneonia basketball team get moving — especially againsl a S U N Y A C
rival like Albany — they get right behind them, and Ihcy let you know
il.
Generally, It's lough enough lo win on Ihe road. For Great Dane
basketball teams of the lasi ten years, it's been damn near impossible
lo win In Oneonla's Red Dragon Gym. The last lime one did do that, it
was way back in the 1970-71 season. Even in the Danes' most successful campaigns, there was always (hat one blemish, Ihe thorn in (he
side idling Albany that one gol away.
A typical example was just lasi year. Albany led al halflime, and
controlled the game. But Oneonia, spurred on by their vociferous
crowd, engineered a second half rally and beal the Danes in overtime,
forcing them into a "must w i n " situation for the rest of the season.
Hut Wednesday night, Albany rid itself of thai pesly Ihorn, and did
il in dominunl fashion by trouncing their usually ungracious hosts,
77-58, in from of a standing room only crowd in Red Dragon Gym.
" I hope the curse is l i f t e d , " said a smiling Albany head basketball
coach Dick Sauers, " I t ' s been a long l i m e . "
" I I feels greal," added Dane guard Rob Otitic, an Oneonia native
who chipped in with 11 poinis and some ball handling, " W e were

" t h a i your successors don't lake as long lo win here again."

afternoon, bul came back strongly
lo defeat P i t t s b u r g h Slate, 79-59,

The loss lo Hamilton was expected by Albany women's swimming coach Sarah Uinghani. " W e j u s t
got wiped off the face of the

Tuesday night's win against P i t tsburgh was a different slory,
however, as ihe outcome o f Ihe
meet was never seriously in question
after ihe lenlh event. Bingham said
her learn has their "best limes o f
the year in all of Ihe events except

The Albany Stale men's swim
learn traveled to Union College
Wednesday afternoon to return in
triumph by the score of 66-29 to
tven their season dual-meet record
at 3-3.
Although Umon did not pose
much or a threat to ihe visiting
Danes "We moved some people
around and tried them in different
spots," said Albany men's swimming coach Ron While.
The only possible hindrance the
Danes might have raced was
Union's "odd-shaped pool. Instead
of Ihe regulation 25-yard length,
there was an extra, one font added
which made the limes slightly inaccurate. We had to have a time conversion factor to compensate for
the extra root," said While.
Intangibles aside, the Danes had
some standout swimmers. Junior
transfer, Neil Ullman pulled in two
first place finishes in the 200-yard
Individual Medley (2:20.3) and the
200-yard Backstroke (2:23.8).
Ullman also was on Ihe winning
Medley Relay Team.
Senior Joe Shore also won two
individual events on Ihe day us lie
captured flrsl in the 200-yard
freestyle In 2:01.7 and returned lo
lake high honors in the 200-yard
flullerfly (2:16), Shore also was a
prime reason for Ihe Danes first
place in Ihe 400-yard Freestyle
Relay as he "came from a 2Vi
hody-lengih deficit to touch out the
Potsdam swimmer,"said While.
"Thai performance is a prime example of Joe's capacity lo challenge
liis competitors, Willi his intrinsic
qualities lie can reach down deep to
overcome what he needs lo achieve.
His pride and competitiveness are
stipes. He never ceases to ania/e me
apd Ihe thing is he really believes in
lilmself,"added White.
Not to be outdone by his teammates, senior Kevin Ahem was asked to do triple duly. He pulled off a
hal trick, placing first in all three individual races. He captured first in
the 50-yard Freeslyle in 23.4
seconds, and completed his effort
the 200-yard Breast Stroke In
2:34.7.
The 400-yard Freestyle Relay
featuring Albany's Shore, Dave
Motola, Larry Adolf and Kerry
Donovan was "Ihe most exciting
race of the meet," While said.
"Give Kerry a lot of credit for bringing back the race for us."
During the vacation ihe Dane
swimmers came back two weeks
early for three meels in which ihey
won one and lost two.
The University of Vermont
traveled south to Albany as the
visitors beat the Danes, 44-69.
"Vermont had two better swimmers

Danes End Red Dragon Jinx, 77-58
Security Debate Stalemates
Intensity And Experience Provide
Difference; End 10-Year Losing Streak
by Bob Bellafiore
ONKONTA — Ray Cesarc had
come into this town three times
before in his college career, and not
once had he left smiling. The same
holds true for Rob Clune. He lives
here, yet he has never been able to
claim a victory here. Pete Stanish
has been here twice before as a
Dane, and twice he has come up
empty.
As a matter-of-fact, nobody
from the Albany State basketball
team has been able to brag about a
win in Oneonta's Red Dragon Cym
since the 1970-71 season.
Until today.
Led by the seniors who had felt
the "Oneonta jinx" so often
before, an emotional and inspired
Great Dane basketball team overcame the "curse" in dominant
fashion, and trounced SUNYAC
rival Oneonta, 77-58, before a standing room only crowd here Tuesday
night.
The Red Dragons underwent a
wholesale revamping of their program this season, utilizing a crop of
freshman in an effort to rebuild.
Albany's strength is its experience,
and that was the difference.
"I was really pleased with the
way the seniors played," said
Albany head basketball coach Dick
Saucrs. "I think they played relaxed
and under control. They (the
Dragons) were tentative, and that's
because of inexperience."
"They stepped in and were ready
lo play," said Oneonta head
basketball coach Don Flewclling of
the Danes. "We were ready, loo,
but with a young team, maybe just
a little too much."
Albany's confidence and experience enabled them to open up a
13 point lead at halftime (35-23)
despite Oneonta's hustling and
crowding defense. The Dragons
kept the margin at four during most
of the half, but the Danes would
always seem to get the bucket when
they needed it, especially early in
the game. The only time Oneonta
led was after the first basket of the
contest, and then Ccsare (20 points,
game high) hit a pull-up jump shot
and a tlp-in off a fast break, and
center John Dieckclman (14 points,
six rebounds) put in a rebound to
give the Danes the lead they would
never relinquish.
"We had some key shots early in
the game that didn't go," said
senior Oneonta guard and floor
general Tony Saleh. That put us
behind, and they (Albany) play well
with a lead. I think the first seven or
eight minutes were the game."
The Danes controlled the tempo
as well as the rebounds throughout
the half, and finally pulled away to
their halftime lead with eight
straight points in the last three
minutes. Dieckclman hit a short
jumper, Clune (11 points) swished
from deep, Joe Jcdnak was good on
two free throws, and after stalling
for over 1:10, Stanish drove
baseline with only three licks left.
The second half was all Albany,
yet there was one point where it
looked as if history would repeat
ilscir. With the Danes ahead 51-43
and over nine minutes remaining,
the crowd, which hadn't really been
a factor yet, finally gol into the act.
Oneonla stole the ball and rushed
upcourl midst the deafening
crescendo, and the stage was set for
the upset. But Stanish silenced the
cheers by stealing it back, and converting the lay up.
"I thought we handled that situation well." Saucrs said. "I think wc
handled the crowd."
It was Albany's inability to do
that last year that led to their loss.
Not so this time around. Whatever
the Red Dragons threw at them, the
Danes stopped, and, on the other
end of the court, Albany's relentless
rebounding and patience on offense
spearheaded the attack.
"I think wc executed our offense
pretty well in the first half, and
defensively wc adjusted," Saucrs
said. "Wc were able to sit in the
zone in the second half."
"I think they played just a
perfect game," Saleh said, appraising the Danes. "(The way they
played) they could've beaten
anybody on our level."
The Danes and their 12-2 record
come home tomorrow night to face
Division II Southern Connecticut.
Tip ofr is at 8:30. The J.V. meets
RP1 in the preliminary game at
6:30.
Oneonta Win Special One
For Clune And Simmons
ONKONTA — Tough defense, aggressive offense, and smart play all
around may have won Tuesday's game with Oneonta for Albany on
the court, bin maybe the Danes' biggest bailie that night was with
themselves. A 10-ycar losing streak in a gym does not resl easy in a
player's mind. "It's negative whenever you walk into a place where
you haven't won in your career," said Albany senior guard Ray
Ccsare.
Instead of cracking under the weight of thinking thai I his might be
the year, the Danes reached down for 40 minutes of Intensity, and
took home a win that truly belonged to them.
"The seniors," said soph center John Dieckclman, "I don'i Ihink
they believed it until the very end. It was like they were opening a
Christmas present."
"We were up for them like we would be for a leant like Potsdam,"
Cesarc continued.
"It's really a satisfying win," adding Albany head basketball coach
Dick Saucrs.
Hut the biggesl thrill came lor senior guard Koh Clune and junior
forward Ron Simmons. They grew up in Oneonla, and perhaps felt
worse than anyone about the Albany "streak." II was Chine's iusl
chance lo play in front of his real home crowd. Simmons has another
year left, bul he and Clune were high school teammates, and lo win ii
together would only make il that much belter.
"Everybody was really up in warm ups," Simmons said.
"Everybody wauled il really had. Maybe I wanted il a little more Ihun
everyone else."
"I was even mine psyched for I Ills than for Potsdam," said an
ebullient Clune, a varsity player since his freshman year.
"Il rubbed off," Ccsare said about the enthusiasm,
"We wanted lo win," added Dieckclman, "Somebody said
'Enough of ibis — ii's time to win'."

Students receiving Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG)
or National Direct Student Loans

to finance their educations next

According to Secretary of Education T.H. Bell, "this administration
is going to propose cutting back on
both BEOG and loan programs. Wc
don't yet know how we're going to
do it, but we're going lo reduce the

The proposed cuts arc part of

Reagan Calls for Aid Cuts
Courage Keys Grappler Victory
by I.arry Kuhii
The Albany Slate wrestling team
has been struggling this season, bul
they picked up a courageous win in
nipping Falrlclgh Dickinson, 28-27,
in University Gym on Tuesday
afternoon to lift ihcir record lo 6-9.
The Danes triumphed despite an
abundance of minor bul nagging Injuries which caused litem lo forfeit
iwo weight classes, forced
everybody else lo move up a weight
class and some j o wrestle hurt.
Amazingly, they slill managed to
fend off their Division I opponents.
"The key word litis match was
courage," said Albany head wrestling coach Joe DcMeo. "We're a
very injured wrestling leant — no
major injuries, bul a lot of minor
ones."
Markovics claims that the security
ordinance serves as a "definition of
security," and that reliance on 235B
for standards of security Is inadequate protection.
Also, many tenants are either
unaware of the law's existence, or
do not know how to initiate legal
action against their landlords, explained SUNYA OIT Campus
Association Director (OCA) Mark
Dunlea. "The section 235B law
wasn't really meant for security
standards and the public Is not informed on how lo use il," Dunlea
said.
President Ronald Reagan
His cuts would affect almost five million students.
-. Student Education Fund Jim
Sweeny charged that "this Is a
potential disaster."
"Il's highly doubtful that other
forms of financial aid will be increased to compensate for these
cuts," he added.
Over 2,500,000 students receiving
basic grants and over 2,300,000
students receiving loans will be affected if the cuts become a reality.
United States Student Associa-
tion (USSA) Chair Doug Tutrhill
said the proposed cuts arc " a
viscious attack on working class
students who want a decent education."
"Money Is being taken from
education and being put into the
military," he charged. "Essentially,
they arc turning books Into bombs.
Reagan is giving the military a
blank check while at the same time
cutting back on education."
Seniors Owe $3.6G in Back Dues
by Sylvia Saunders
Because of a large number of unpaid class dues, seniors will be required to have membership cards in
order to participate in class activities.
More than half the senior class
did nol pay class dues over the last
four semesters, according to current
student account records.
"With a class of over 2400, unpaid dues amount to at least
$3600," said Senior Class President
Gary Schatsky. "Wc have to collect

He said all seniors must pick up
the cards before purchasing any
senior week tickets. The cards indicate what semesters' dues have
been paid and will entitle seniors to
discounts of at least 50 per cent.
Schatsky said the cards will be
available within two weeks.
Each outstanding semester will
cost $3. In addition, a $1 late fee
will be charged. Students can pay
retroactive dues at the SA sponsored group Fair or in the Campus
Center when membership cards are
distributed.
Schatsky said that many people
