Hartwick Gives Tired Albany A 96-76Drubbing
by Bob Belliflore
ONEONTA — A weak and weary
Albany State basketball team
played its fifth game in the last nine
days Wednesday night — their third
on the road.
Perhaps they should've stayed
home.
Worn down by the rigors of the
most exhausing stretch in their 24
game schedule, the Danes were not
big enough, strong enough, nor
quick enough to handle a talented
Hartwick College team, and were
shellacked by the Warriors, 96-76,
at Harlwlck's Binder Physical
Education Center.
A patient Albany offense was
able to penetrate the Hartwick 1-3-1
zone defense early, with four of the
five starters getting inside hoops,
and staying baskcl-for-baskct with
their Division 11 opponents for the
first nine minutes. But the Warriors
changed to a 2-3 zone for the rest of
the game, and forced Albany lo
shoot from the perlrnc!
"I felt their outside shooting was
suspect," said Hartwick head
basketball coach Nick Lambros.
He was right as the Danes wcnl
on to connect on only 30 of their 79
field goal attempts for a dismal 38
percent for the game, and 34 percent in the second half.
On the other side, Hartwick nil

scoring sprees, pulling in 10, shutting the Danes out lor almost three
minutes, and opened a 14 point
bulge. O'Brien got six of those, on
the way to a career high 35 points.

where they've lost to Oneonta and

"We're a funny team. We've had

Student Input Determined Today
A meeting of the University Senate

For the results of the distribution

by Ken Gordon
The fate of student representation on University Senate is lo he
decided al a 3:00 meeting of thai
organization today in the Campus
Center ballroom.
Two proposals will be presented
to Ihe faculty: a resolution and a
by-laws amendment.
The resolution stales that Ihe
Senate chair will call the faculty
senators to meet al least once a
semester 10 "discuss wilh and advise the president on mailers of
faculty concern, and to provide
faculty senators with an opportunity lo identify and discAss issues thai
should he considered by the
senate."
In addition, Ihe resolution requires that "whenever more than 40
percent of the total faculty membership of the scnlale and more than 50
percent of those faculty senators
present and voting take a position
on an academic matter and it docs
not carry, the president shall be
notified."
The proposal stales also that the
president .shall report any such matters lo the general faculty, which
may act as it chooses to advise the
president,
"The resolution gives the faculty
senators an opportunity to advise
Ihe president (Vincent O'Leary)
directly and to organize a faculty
'caucus' in the Senate if they so
desire," according lo an explanation attached to the resolution
prepared by Senate Nominal ions
and Flections Committee Chair
Kendall Birr.
The by-law amend mem calls for
Ihe reduction of graduale student
seals from II' lo 3, wilh the
replacements of these eight seats to
be elected from Ihe voting faculty.
This revision would give the
faculty 44 senate scats; the students
would permanently retain 25 senate
seats.
Birr explained that another part
of the amendment stales the faculty
will base Ihe power lo change the
structure of student representation
through a simple resolution.
A simple resolution requires only
a 20 percent quorum of the voting
faculty instead of Hie current 40
percent quorum now required to
make a by-law amendment, Birr
said.
Birr noted thai Ihe resolution and
amendment were "shaped-by the
committee using Ihe results of the
two advisory referenda and other
daia.
"Both options outlined in the
December referendum have considerable support, but in Ihe view of
the committee, it is unlikely thai
any single option could successfully
win faculty approval," he predicted
in a letter lo faculty members.
Birr emphasized the importance
of a 40 percent quorum of faculty in
attendance at the meeting.

The officers told the Cabinet members and members of

who remained as caretaker premier, were among the
hostages. EFE said that when Suarez asked, as head of
government, for an explanation of the action, a civil
guard told him to shut up and escorted him from the
chamber. Defense Minister Agustin Rodriguez Sahaguri
also was told to shut up. The Defense Ministry alerted
all troops to stay in barracks, said everything was under
control and the police surrounded the Parliament
building. Reporters who fled the building before it was
blocked identified the revolt leader as Lt. Col. Antonio

Tejcro was given a six month prison sentence. The civil

Porn Movies Nixed
by Sylvia Saunders
Albany State Cinema (ASC) has
been denied permission to show
Deep Throat or Devil in Miss Jones
on campus by Director or Student
Activities Jim Docllcfeld, according
to ASC President Mike Fried,
University policy mandates that
any movie under litigation in
Albany County cannot be shown to
the SUNYA community. Both requested movies have been in litigation for over a year under original
charges of obscenity. Doellereld
said his office periodically checks to
sec what cases arc still active.
Fried said he thought the movie
should be allowed to be shown
because Ihc university is separate
from the community. Docllcfeld,
however, said the university should
strive to be a part of Ihe community
and consequently denied permission.
"We were quickly told wc
couldn't do it," Fried said. "There
isn't anything wc can do about it.
We need Doellefeld's signature as
well as (SA Controller) Ira
Somach's,
Fried said he thought one or the
movies might be allowed since Deep
Throat was shown on campus two
years ago by Tower Easl Cinema.
However, Doellereld said the only reason the movie was shown was
because Tower East had already
firmly committed itself. Doellefeld
said if they tried it again, he
wouldn't let a "mistake" happen.
Fried said he thinks students
should be able to see whatever
movies they wanl. "Deep Throat
was shown Iwo years ago. That
means half the school hasn't been
given the opportunity lo see it. A lot
of other movies are available. Bui a
lot of students want to sec these two
particular movies out of curiosity."

by Sandy Schaikowaitz
The Indian Quad production of Grease will be performed in the
quad carcteria on February 27 and 28 and March 1 despite rumors or
cancellation due lo vandalism.
On Ihc weekend or March 15, Indian Quad was the site of several
incidcnls of vandalism. A large plate glass window, valued at approximately $300.00, was shattered in Ihe flag room. Two couches were
dcsiroyed. On Sunday a food fight erupted in Ihc cafeteria, leaving the
carpel and curtains slaincd and a mess that University Auxiliary Service (UAS) employees were left lo clean.
UAS decided that some punitive aclion should be taken againsl the
quad, according lo Crease producer Diane Bartosch. One course of
aclion, proposed by UAS Assistant Food Service Director Peter
Haley, was lo cancel Ihc quad's production ol Crease. However, according lo Bartosch, none of Ihc members of the easl was involved in
Ihe incident. Haley informed Bartosch later thai week thai ihe cast of
Grease -would be able to use Ihc cafeteria as planned for its production.

The ASP randomly surveyed 253
undergraduates and 33 teachers lasl

Overall, 67 pcrccnl or SUNYA

Although only a small sample of
teachers was taken, those surveyed

disparity among majors was nol
greal.
The ASP survey read as follows:
"There is presently a committee on
distribution requirements which
proposes that, lo graduate, SUNYA
studenis would have lo complete
one or two courses in each of Ihe
rollowing calegories: Other
C u l t u r e s , Social Sciences,
Literature, and Fine Arts, Natural
Sciences, and Symbolics.
" R e q u i r e d courses would
amount lo a minimum of 18 credits
and a maximum of 36, depending
on how the final proposal is devised.
"Pro: A person who graduates
with a degree should have been ex-
posed lo certain kinds of knowledge
basic to an educalcd person, lo
prepare him nol only for a job, but
for anything he might encounter in
lifa.
"Con: A student is limited in
academic freedom. i Required
courses may not be within his interests."
The person's class, major, age,
and sex, were asked, as well as Ihc
' following questions: "Are you in
favor or distribution requirements?
Why or why not? Whether in favor
or not, how many credits would be
a fair amount to require (18 to 36)?
Wilh or without such requirements
have you, in your opinion, taken a

Alcohol Proposal Criticized
by Chris Koch
Governor Carey's proposal to
give wine and liquor licenses (o
supermarkets has met with angry
opposition from liquor store
owners, and mixed reaction from
supermarkets.
Wine and liquor is currently sold
in supermarkets in California and
Illinois, while states such as
Massachusetts allow supermarkets
to sell only wine.
"1 think Carey is shooting from
the hip on this one," said Director
of Consumer Services for Price
Chopper/Sue Ann Richco. "If he
docs decide to think this proposal
out, 1 think he will drop it entirely."
"We sell wine in Massachusetts
with no problems," she continued,
"and wine is a natural with the food
wc sell, but selling liquor would be
going one step too far. Wc have a liquor problem in this country, and I
think that selling hard liquor would
only compound the problem."
Richco added, "We arc a
business that depends on young
people, and we can't let seventccnyear-olds al the register sell
whiskey. I don'l think they would
be able to handle it."
William McDivitt, Legislative
Chair of The State Federation of
Package Stores, angrily criticized
the Governor's proposal. "This is
an ill-advised proposition made off
the cuff and without much
thought," he said. "Well over 50
percent of our liquor stores arc adjacent to supermarkets, and I'd say
two thirds or the liquor stores in the
slate will go out of business if this
gets passed,"
When asked to respond to the accusation on the part of some liquor
store owners in Albany that large
New York wineries such as Taylor
and Monsieur Henri are pushing for
supermarket sales, McDivitt said,
"I haven't seen any of the big winerics lobbying for this in Albany,
but the New York Slate Food Merchants Association has been actively campaigning for it."
The Food Merchants Association
is an organization of large and small
grocery stores in New York State,
of which Price Chopper is a
member. Price Chopper's Richco
said that while the association had
campaigned for supermarkets sales
two years ago, they are no longer
lobbying for the proposal.
"Our activities were part of an
overall drive to'try to improve sales
of New York wines. We wanted to
begin supermarket sales to try to
stop the influx of California wines,
which have really damaged the wine
industry here."
McDivitt also said selling liquor

The Executives are a five member band
led by a pair of SUNYA alumni, who are
drawing crowds with an appealing mixture of
danceable originals and Innovative cover
versions of early rock and Motown standards.
The band Is centered around the
songwrltlng abilities of Sande. Sande, who
describes himself as a "simple song form
player," has written all the original material
the band Is currently performing. Many years
of classical guitar training have greatly Influenced his playing and writing.
"Being classically trained helps my
understanding of musical forms and harmony," Sande explained. "Technically It has
helped me play guitar. I know where the
melodies. "Right Direction" has a fresh
uncluttered sound with all musical elements
clearly defined.
The only song The Executives have
recorded to dale, "Right Direction" has
received considerable airplay on Q-104 and

hit for the band.

Slade, who Is adapting his Broadway
show for the screen, doesn't bother to confront any of Ihe conflicts he's wrlllen Into Ihe
situation. If Scollle's lifestyle Is so great why
is his private life such a disaster? His wife left
him, his son hates him and we're asked lo
admire Scottle. The "this Is your life" tribute
staged for him at Ihe end seems a confirmation of the old theory that Ihe number of
friends you have Is more Important Ihan the
depth of those 'friendships. Throughout the
film we're shown the problems wilh Scottie's
way of dealing with things, yet at the end
we're asked to embrace and admire it.
Jack Lemmon acts so horrendously that
he too makes it difficult to sympathize with,
or even care a b o u t S c o t t l e . T h e
"llghthearted" Scottle mugs shamelessly, like
a third rate vaudevllllan who's never seen a
camera before In his life. A n d as Scottle, the
anguished dying man trying lo make sense
of his life, he stares, sighs heavily, and closes
his eyes a lot. These are Ihe stock Lemmon
mannerisms, the ones he's been using for
almost thirty years. In fact this Is the stock
Lemmon performance, no different than Ihe
ones he gave In those awful sex farces he
made In Ihe sixties, or Saue the Tiger. The
latter was overplayed so badly that it won
him an Academy Award and, lo and behold,
he was nominated again this year for
Tribute. The competition Is too strong for
him lo win again, but the fact that he
prevented Donald Sutherland's magnificently understated work In Ordlnarv People from
being recognized, Is tragic (I am, however,
aware that the fault for this lies with Ihe
Academy and not Lemmon).
Tribute won't settle with being simply a
tear-jerker. It will stop at nothing short of
"slobber jerking." It wants the audience crying hysterically because they have been so
moved by the experience they've just had,
but It overplays Its rather skimpy hand and
ends up being a disaster. Tribute Is a movie
totally lacking In taste, dignity, and, except
for Lee Remlck's performance, any sense of
subtlety.
I'm suprlsed It's not up for Best Picture.'*
Vanities A f f a i r
s f y rue or False? Women today
L//
generally go through school either
*-J
as confetti headed " p o p u l a r "
types, or cerebral "lonely" types.
If you answered "true," then you are in
agreement with Jack Helfner, author of Ihe
long running off-Broadway play Vanities
which toured at the Egg last weekend.
Mr. Bruce W. Fox
The play follows three women, played by
Sally Sockwell, Sharon Ullrich and Jane
Dentlnger, from their high school days as
cheerleaders, through college sorority
aSventures, and finally lo five years later In
"Ihe real world." One ends up a traditional
housewife and mother, another becomes an
erotic art dealer, while the third "lives wilh"
someone, presumeable male. All, however,
feel unhappy and unfulfilled — though
reluclanl to admit It.
The play especially attempls lo destroy Ihe
myths surrounding good looking "popular"
girls who people generally envy, and think of
as .lucky and well-ail justed. Slereotyplcally,
"popular" girls become prom queens, maintain a constant supply of boyfriends, and If
they play their cards right, easily secure a
husband and money for the rest oi their
lives.
The question posed in Vanities Is: are
such women really lucky? A n d If they aren't,
are women who grow up "non-popular"
ultimately any better off? You can't help
coming away from Ihe theater thinking about
these questions. The play however offers
no clear cut answers.
My friend Lynn, a graduate of SUNYA,
thought Ihe point of the play was to show
that no woman can ever feel truly fulfilled.
•Lynn majored In RCO, though, so there's no
telling how badly damaged her brain Is.
Van/ties assumes thai there Is a clear
demarcation between " p o p u l a r " and
"non-popular" girls. This assumption creates
a problem In evaluating Ihe theme. Surely
there must be women who have found a
Jiappy medium between popularity and in-
telligence! In Vanities If such women exist,
they are not mentioned.
Upon entering the theater, I was astonish
ed to see the three actresses putting on
make-up and getting dressed right on the
stage. They continued that throughout the
Intermissions. I suppose the point was to
force the audience to see what a narcissistic
and time consuming process making-up can
be In a "popular" woman's life
Very Utile scenery was used. The props
and costumes provided most of Ihe setting
Jane Dentlnger as Kathy played her role
of head cheerleader and compulsive
organizer with great conviction. Her dismay
when she discovers that her leadership
qualities mean nothing In the r e a l world Is
conveyed subtly, as it should be.
Sharon Ullrlck as Mary comes across very 1
nicely as the most politically and socially
aware of the three, who liberates herseli by
finding a career and steeping with countless'
men. Somehow she Is able to maintain
( brash exterior, while at the same time showi n g that she Is quietly susceptible lo maternal
' desires.
Sally Sockwell stole the show with her
portrayal of the traditionally Inclined
Joanne. The almost fanatical fervor with
which she maintained her virginity, plotted
f6r marriage, and took courses In college
based on which registration line was shortest,
kept t h e large a u d i e n c e
laughing
throughout.
Generally, then, for those not Initiated In
the wild, wonderful world of Women's
Studies, Vanities can provide a stimulating
Introduction. For those uninterested in
Women's Studies, Vanities offers an opportunity lo laugh al Ihe antics of confettheaded women.

PerpetuaM^regnancy
Moral Majority:
To the Editor:
Recently, N.Y. Senator Alphonse
D'Amato announced that he is cosponsoring a bill to effect a constitutional
amendment that might deem certain forms
of birth control (such as the Pill and the
IUD) illegal. Feminists and ovcr-scxed college students might think he is going too Tar
with such a proposal. Yet in actuality,
D'Amato is not going far enough.
If we truly believe in an individual's right
to life as provided for in the constitution,
we must also illegalize menstruation. Every
month, women all over America between
menses and menopause arc releasing an egg
that is a potential life form, a potential
child. Left unfertilized, the egg leaves the
body of the woman and dies.
These senseless murders must stop. On
any given day, millions of killings are taking place all over the counlry that professes
lo preserve human rights. Something must
be done.
Women who have already passed Ihc age
of menopause must be spared from any
retroactive legislation for the sake of expediency. II would be impossible lo prove exactly where and when the murders had
laken place. It would also be very difficult
lo conic up with witnesses.
However, something can and must be
done about those women who are selfishly
menstruating each month. Punishing them
by death or imprisonment is Inefficient; our
newly-slashed federal budget cannot handle
ihc expense of executions or long-term imprisonment of such a greal part of the
population. The answer is clear: women
must be required lo be perpetually pregnant
until menopause. A two-month interim between pregnancies might be allowed lo permit the woman's body to rest before conceiving future Great Americans. With
women forced to slay al home rearing
children, men could again solely control Ihc
economy. "Pregnancy leaves" would be
non-exisienl because women would never
be able to leave home for work. Our counlry could again achieve greatness, not to
mention military and nuclear superiority.
Of course, since the federal sterilization
of unknowing Native American women has
already proved effective, they may remain
exempt from this proposed policy.

Community ActioTT
To the Editor:
The Pine Hills Sludcnl Community
Alliance would like lo respond lo your article In Friday's ASP entitled, "Community
and Students Join Against University,"
The article Incorrectly gives the impression
thai Ihe main purpose of the alliance is lo
organize against SUNYA because il has ignored the problems il has created in Ihe
Pine Hills neighborhood, such as high
rents, poor bus service, inadequate security
for women residents, high noise levels, and
parking. While SUNYA has certainly contributed lo such problems, Ihey arc not the
only culprits. Much of the Pine Hills Sludcnl Community Alliance activity will also
be focused at City Hall because of ils long
term neglect of the neighborhood. The
Slate will also receive a fair share of the alteniion because of its failure to adequately
protect Ihe public against such problems as
the excessive rale hikes that Niagara
Mohawk is continuously asking for, such as
the proposed 14 percent increase In electric
rales.

To the Editor:
Ever since January 20lh I've been very
upset. Why? Is il because of Ihe coming of
Reagan? The leaving of Carter? Noi really.
Did someone near and dear leave me? Noi
ihis lime. Was my allowance cut? No. Then
why am I upsel? I'll tell you.
On January 20lh, Ihe day of Reagan's inauguration, Ihe hostages were released. No,

For Ihe ncxl lour weeks, ihe biggest thing

Another thing that has been causing me

Bus Stop Blues
Every Saturday night it's the same scenario. A massive group of drunken
students gather on the corner of Quail and Western to try to get back uptown.
A large crowd forms, extending well into the intersection, as students impatiently wait for the last two buses of the night.
Those who couldn't squeeze on the late 2 a.m. bus are left waiting for the 3
a.m. bus, which is also many minutes overdue. The crowd continues to grow
to an overwhelming size.
Little did they realize that going downtown for a few drinks would result in
a brutal battle just to get back home. They must become experts in the fine art
or jockeying for a strategic position to get on the bus. They must become
masters at shoving, climbing and anything else necessary to get a space on that
bus.
Parking Gripe
To Ihc Editor:
1 was one of Ihose people who had their
cars paper mached with tickets while I was
parked in trout of Dutch Quad one
weekend. Until recently I never had trouble
with Ihis. This university has Ihe absurd
policy of making il illegal to park around
ihc quads 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. 1 can understand the regulations during weekdays bin on weekends Ihcrc is plenty of parking space around the quads. Il is a
waste to have to park in the other lots when
there is room in from of ihe quads on (lie
weekends. And il seems like a wasle lo pay
security lo go around ticketing cars al .1:30
in die morning when Ihey could be pui lo
better use preventing rape or robbery.
Peter lluinillon
Tension builds. And as the bus pulls in, it is already three-quarters full
because some clever students were wise enough to walk down a couple blocks
to Robin Street.
Those on Quail compete viciously for the few remaining spols on the bus. It
is every person for him/herself as people trample mercilessly over each other.
Tempers flare.
It is a dangerous and highly explosive situation. Just last Saturday night a
student was arrested for refusing to get off an already crowded bus.
We must revise ihc late-night weekend schedule. Buses must run more often,
perhaps every half hour. They must also run on time. Wc must nol wail until
someone is badly injured before we act on this problem.
We realize additional buses are cosily, but as always, safety should he the
number one priority. Students should not have to fight to gel on ihc buses; nor
should Ihey have to worry whether Ihey can gol home.
Boycott
To Ihe Kditor:

However, this dissemination of Information
is noi enough. Students must band together

On the other hand, according to
Chase, the size of his team's roster,
consisting of only nine players, was
definitely a deterring factor. "We
haven't got any depth. We did not
have many guys. Albany was running them in and out," Chase said.
"You do what you can with what
you've got."
But as far as Skeel was concerned, the .real key was Albany's
defense. "We played good defense
and that was the key. When you
play defense like that, it becomes
your offense," said the Danes'
coach.
Best exemplifying Albany's
defense on Saturday was the play of
guard Carl Askew, who took on the
assignment of guarding Pctrowski
in the second half. "He's a good
shorter," Askew said of Pctrowski
(a former varsity player), "He had
lo slay in his place. We played a
-'•nod defensive game."

on Albany's pressure defense. "We
pressed a lot throughout- the
game," said Skeel.
Going into halftime Albany lead
by the slim difference of one
basket, 32-30. That difference was
quickly made up as Tom Pelrowski
(10 points) opened the second half
scoring with only 21 seconds gone
by. But Albany, over the next nine
minutes, outscored Oneonta 26-13
and the Red Dragons never
recovered.
The Danes flirted with a 20-point
lead late in the game on Craig
Kinn's follow-up shot that made the
score 84-64. However, a last second
shot by Mark Shcppard was good lo
•keep the Red Dragons from the nil
of a 20-point loss.
Albany's comfortable lends
allowed Skeel lo use most of his
troops. "1 wauled In play a lol of
people unci we did. We gave an
honest and sincere effort lonighl,"
Skeel comnienlcd.

novcrs. "It seemed that most of my
points came on fast breaks," said
Thomas. "The coach (Albany J.V.
head coach Rick Skeel) had hie play
on the wing and we made a lot of
fast breaks."
The 13 turnovers committed by
the Red Dragons is indicative of
Oneonta's inexperience, according
to Oneonta J.V. head coach Hal
Chase. "1 have two or three guys
who haven't played high school
ball," Chase added.
Except for the final 6:30 of the
first half, the game was never really

competitors have qualified for the

lo gel his team ready for Ihe allimportant SUNYAC meet in two
weeks.
in reference to the RPI mec|
Munscy expressed, "This meet will
be beneficial because the hurdlers
and some of our top runners will
really be tested." Munscy was referring lo the facl that a lot of schools,
including some junior colleges from
places like Maryland will be there.
The general consensus of the
Icam members was that the RPI
mcel will noi be that important.
They all seem to be getting ready
for the SUNYACs.
The success of Ihis squud has no

made litem even stronger. With the

The Albany State men's swimming and diving team concluded their
dual meet season on Friday, falling
to RPI despite superb performances
by Joe Shore, Bill Dcrkasch and
Kevin Ahem.
Albany bowed to RPI 64-46 lo
drop their season record to 6-7.
"I'm not really disappointed
finishing under .500 because we
have shown marked Improvement," commented Dane swimming coach Ron White.
Shore's performance was the
highlight of the meet. He was a
double winner as he recorded a personal best in the 400-yard Individual Medley, clocking In at
4:38.22. lie also placed his name in
the Albany State record books with
a pool record in the 100-yard Brcasl
Stroke. His time was 1:03.22.
Dcrkasch equalled Shore's winning total as he took both the onemeter and three-meter diving events
with 193.75 and 220.20 points,
respectively.
Ahem also etched his name in the
Albany books with a 1:49.63 clocking in Ihe 200-yard Freestyle. That
was good for a pool record as well
as a first place finish. He also grab-

but you'll find yourself better

Now.
In Saturday's meet some of
Albany's times were a little slower
than usual because of the weaker
competition. "When you're beating
a team by those kinds of scores, it's
hard to put in a good perform a n c e , " explained Albany
women's swimming coach Sarah
Bingham.

school records were broken. Sheila

6:05.77. Fitzpatrlck also combined
with Lisa Sotnek, Robin Brown,
and Judy King in the 200-yard
Freestyle Relay for a school record
of 1:51.47 timing.
Other outstanding performances
were turned in by Beth Larson in
the 100-yard Butterfly (1:12.41),
Sotnek in the 50-yard Freestyle
(0:27.96) and Carol Lim In the
50-yard Butterfly (0:31.13).
In the diving competition, Joan
Meiklcham continued to excel. In
the one-meter diving required
event, she attempted an inward.dive
in the pike position and received
scores of seven, eight, and nine. A
score of nine is very hard to cor
by in collegiate diving.
"It's almost unheard of until you
get to Olympic competition — it's
very rare," noted Bingham.
The State meet is next up for the
Dane swimmers and eleven people
have qualified. Bingham lists seven
teams that should, In all likelihood,
place ahead of Albany In the
26-leam field, but she is confident
they will improve on last year's 19th
place finish.
"Any other team at the Slates we
have a crack at," she said. "If we
really get cooking, we could place
as high as eighth place. Right now,
Barbara Stachowiak came in second in Ihe 50-yard Breast Stroke
with a 0:37.5 clocking. Brown and
Sotnek both turned in personal best
times in the 100-yard Freestyle with
Brown in first at 1:01.78 and
Sotnek in third at 1:02.85. Brown
also swam in Ihe 100-yard Individual Medley for the first time
and barely missed qualifying for Ihe
States at 1:10.34.
"The 800-yard Relay was a very
close event. We showed some good
individual performances, but we
were just touched out by RPI,"
evaluated While.
The Danes qualified 13 athletes
for the SUNYAC Championships
to be held March 5-7. White is anticipating a fourth or firth place
finish, but thinks the squad has a
legitimate shot at third place.
Against conference competition,
the team has accumulated a 2-2
record, defeating Binghamton and
In addition, five relay teams have
qualified and their performances
will be critical in the team finish as
relay points count double for the
team. Bingham feels that this could
be an advantage for the Danes.
"I feel overall that my relays are
jngcr than my individual events
or the most part," she explained.
we're aiming at the top twelve."
Being among the top six competitors in each event is the goal
that the swimmers will be striving
for. Bingham feels that Albany's
best chances for that mark will be
from Meiklcham in the diving, King
In the 50-yard Backstroke, and
Lauriann Baines in the 50-yard and
100-yard Breast Stroke. She also
noted that Brown had qualified in
seven events — the maximum
number allowed.

Finale As Danes Go For 20th Win
by Bob Bellaflorc
The Albany State basketball
team, in a way, played two different
games in Saturday night's 60-54 win
over Oneonta.
There was the first 10 minutes o f
the first half. That's when the
Danes exploded to a 27-10 lead over
Oneonta, led by an incredible 12-13
shooting, and four Pete Stanish
bombs.
Then there was the other 30
minutes. That's when Oneonta
outscorcd Albany 44-33 behind a

Dragons fought back from that 17
point deficit to within five, 27-22,

the seeond half after being down by

Carey has proposed either a spending cut or a tuition hike or both
during five o f his seven years in office. The Iwo years he did nol make
such proposals were 1975, his firsl
year in office, and 1978, when he
was up for re-election.
Carey's record o f support for
higher education is in stark contrasl
to llial of Governor Nelson A .
Rockefeller,
Rockefeller was elected governor
in 1958. In 1963, SUNY tuition was
$400 per year. That figure remained
unchanged until 1971.
The '60's was a period of tremendous growth for SUNY. Increases
in sales taxes and banking taxes in
New York Stale generated enormous revenue, enabling Rockefeller
to almost single-handedly create the
entire 64-campus system.
During Rockefeller's 15 years as
governor, the state budget increased
from $2 billion lo more than $8
billion. Much o f that money wcnl
lo higher education.
The number or college students
enrolled in New York State increased during thai period from 38,000
to 246,000.

Rockercltcr's budget was earmarked I'or education. SUNY's appropriation was increased more

Board o f Trustees voled 10 raise luilion from $400 lo $550, with a
similar hike planned for 1973.
The tuition increase ihat year
went virtually unnoticed. No angry
letters or editorials graced the pages
of the ASP. No massive lobbying
efforts were organized. Students, il
seemed, were too busy protesting
the war in Vietnam.
The first real outcry against rising
tuition occurcd in 1972, when Ihc
SUNY Board of Trustees approved
a tuition hike for the second year in
a row.
Ernest L. Boycr, then chancellor
of the SUNY system, said the hike

The Albany Student

legislators to raise approximately
$20 million in needed revenues from
state funds instead of Increased tuition.
The Executive Committee of the
SUNY Bourd of Trustees passed a
recommendation February I I lo

and graduate tuition by $300. On
February 19, Governor Hugh L.
Carey amended the stale budget to
allow SUNY to use additional
revenue received through tuition increases for SUNY. programs and
services. The slate legislature must
decide whether or not to approve
this allocation o f fands by Ihc April
1 budget deadline.
" W e want ihe expenditure side to
remain -the same," Zicgler said.
" T h e money is going towards programs we need, such as restoring
400 facully positions and retaining
free rooms for residence assistants.
But this nioncy should come from
the stale."

survey Ihat asked Ihc question,
" H o w docs the tuition hike affect

would need to work part-lime,
some said they would lake out

however, echoed the sentiments of

Alumni Quad, who said, " M y

don't have to w o r r y . "
No tuition hike occurcd again until 1976, Carey's second year as
governor.
Citing New York Stale's fiscal
crisis, far which the near bankruptcy or New York City was largely
responsible, Carey called far a
SUNY budget cut or $51 million.
He requested, in addition to this
cut, a tuition hike and a dorm rate
hike or at least $100 each.
Boycr denounced Carey's proposals as being "severely harmful lo
S U N Y . " Others said that Carey
was intent upon "Icaring down
whal Rockefeller b u i l t . "
As u result of the cut, 1,000 racully and siarf positions were lost
statewide. Most campuses phased
out entire programs, hoping to
maintain the quality or those that
were lefi. S U N Y A lost five masters
and eight undergraduate degree
programs, including the school o r
nursing.
Meanwhile, the legislature introduced bills to cut the SUNY
budget even more. On March 16,
10,000 students participated in a
mass demonstration at the Capitol.
Violence erupted, however, when
200 students surged through police
lines, smashed glass doors, and
swarmed into Ihe second door o r
Ihe building. Several arrests were
made.
The SUNY Board or Trustees increased tuition that year to $750 for
lower division and $900 far upper
division. Board President Elizabeth
Luce Moore said she "deeply
regretted" the necessity or the act i o n . SASU President
Bob
Kirkpatrick called the board's decision "irresponsible."
In .1977, Carey again cut SUNY's
budget, this lime by approximately
$40 billion. Tuition was nol raised,
but many faculty and staff positions were cut. The board o f
