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
red hot freshman center M i k e
Pocyntaluk's 30 points. The Red
Dragons fought back from that 17
point deficit to within five, 27-22,
and came to within a basket, 42-41,
o f taking the lead halfway through
the seeond half after being down by
eight at the intermission.
But Albany's own pivol man,
John Dicckelman (17 points, 8-10

points, and with Ray Cesare's bank

Further, of the five tuition hikes

center, three were at the request of
Governor Hugh L. Carey.

NEWS ANAIYSIS
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.

of
Rockercltcr's budget was earmarked I'or education. SUNY's appropriation was increased more
than $40 million. Despite this, additional money was needed to mainlain the SUNY construction fund.
O n January 29, 1971, the SUNY
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
was needed to cover a $63 million

The Albany Student

According lo SASU Legislative
Director Beth Zlcglcr, students

downtown as pari of a continuing
campaign againsl Ihc proposed increases. They hope to convince
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
raise undergraduate tuition by $150
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
Bernadctte Bossert, a rreshman on
Alumni Quad, who said, " M y
. parents pay far my education, so I
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

ATHENS, Greeee (AP) Panicky Athenians streamed
out of the city Wednesday after Greece was hit by two
strong earthquakes that killed 13 people and injured
dozens of others in collapsed houses and hotels. The
quakes damaged the east and west faces of the famous
Parthenon, including two corner columns of the ancient
temple on the 2,500-year-old Acropolis overlooking
Athens. Police said five people were reported missing
after the quakes.hit the country during the night. The
capital city was almost deserted by mid-afternoon as
people drove into the countryside, fearing that more
buildings might collapse in new tremors. "Houses that
didn't suffer from cither the first or second large quakes
have proved that they can stand." The two quakes
registered 6.6 and 6.3 on the Richter scale. Their
epicenter was 42 miles west of Athens in the Gulf of
Corinth, the Athens Seismologica! Institute said. Corinth, 40 miles west of Athens, was one of the harden hit
cities. The shocks destroyed five hotels in the area

Jenny knows it is only a matter of
time before she has to leave. Things
were not good with her parents
before she became pregnant, so her
condition has only served lo intensify an already bad situation.
Jenny Morgan is a fictitious
name, but with some details adjusted, hers is Ihe slory of 95 percent of the unwed teenage mothers
in Rensselaer County, which has the
highest teenage pregnancy rate in
the Capital District area.
The Teenage Parenting Program
(TAPP) of Rensselaer County is a
program designed to help teenage
mothers cope with pregnancy — its
burdens and responsibilities, as well
as learning parental skills.
According lo Program Coordinalor Alaiinah Fitzgerald, peer
pressure has served to push
teenagers into becoming sexually
active at an early age, the average
age being 16. Another reason for
early sexual activity, she added, is
the desite to gel away from a bad
home sit nation.
" A teenager will become pregnant so that she can gel on some
lypc of social service and,
therefore, have money to leave her
parents' home. This is a drawback
because if parents arc not eligible
for social services like welfare, Ihe
teenager will not be eligible either,"
Fitzgerald said.
Instead of opting for adoplion or
abortion, Fitzgcrland explained,
teenage mothers arc keeping their
babies, hence the need for a program like TAPP.
"There isn't a stigma attached to
being illegitimate any more. In fact,
if a girl has an abortion or gives up
her baby for adoplion, she is
ostracized by her peers," she said.
According lo Fitzgerald, there
are problems getting pregnant
teenagers into the program, because
many arc afraid to ask for help.
"1 meet with the girl at home, at
school, or any place where she is
comfortable, receptive and doesn't
feel threatened," she added.
According 10 Fitzgerald, securing
permission from parents has not
been a problem. "I have been lucky
so far — I haven't encountered any
hostile parents as yet," she said.
Any girl is eligible for the program as long as she is a teenager and
pregnant. "We like to have the girl
figure out while she is pregnant
what she needs in the way of help,"
Fitzgerald said.
This help entails culling through
red tape and trying lo put Ihe pregnant teenager on social services
such as Welfare, Food Stamps,
Family Planning, Medicaid, and
Women's, Infant's, and Children's
Program (WIC), a federally funded
food program which is easier lo
qualify for than food stamps.
But because one is on the program does not necessarily follow
that one is automatically going to
receive these services, Fitzgerald
said.
"If she is not eligible, there is not
a whole lot we can do for her. We
try lo get help through another
source — we ask for donations
from anybody, including the Salvation Army," she added.
Of all the services, Medicaid is the
one for which teenagers lend lo be
ineligible. At delivery lime a
hospital cannot turn the girl away;
consequently, she has a high bill
which often becomes the burden of
the parents, Fitzgerald said.
Every Thursday at 2 p.m., Fitzgerald holds a two-hour education
session at the Troy Y.W.C.A.
These sessions give the pregnant girl
information on nutrition for
mother and child, infant care, child
development and Lamazc (natural
childbirth).
Rensselaer County Services also
sends social workers to discuss
alternatives, such as adoption. They
usually do nol talk aboul abortion,
Fitzgerald said, because Ihe
teenager is generally loo far along In
the pregnancy. Many girls opt to
keep the child after il is born.
Aside from the social workers,
there are, nurses from nearby
hospitals who leach the Lamazc
method of natural childbirth and
counselors from Unified Services of
Rensselaer County Mental Health.
Fitzgerald added that there are
anywhere from six lo twenty girls in
a session on any given week. She
said that often there is not a lot of
motivation among Ihe members,
and thai she has to prod them to attend class.
Fitzgerald likes to keep the girls
at least six months after delivery,
but prefers them to stay longer.
"Some girls have stayed with TAPP
for as long as two years. However
long a girl stays, we stress going
back to high school, taking the
equivalency exam, or entering a
vocational program," she said.
TAPP is made up of approximately 60 percent while and 40 percent black girls from lower
economic backgrounds. "Girls
from these backgrounds do not feel
threatened — they ask for services
quicker than, for example, middleclass girls, since some of them may
already be on some type of public
assistance," Filzgerald noted.
She explained that she thinks
pregnant, middle-class girls usually
have abortions or lhal their families
support them and their children.
She noted that this group is
predominantly white. Black girls,
she added, are more accepted and
supported by their families.
TAPP was started in January,
1979, by Cooperative Extension
through a Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA)
grant. II is now funded by the
Rensselaer Department of Youth
through private donations.
Cooperative Extensions is funded
on county, state, and federal levels
through the division of the Land
Grant College at Cornell University.
Alannah Fitzgerald, herself a
divorced mother of three, runs the
program alone. Being a single
mother, she said, helps her empathize with the young expectant
mothers in the program.
Fitzgerald has worked with the
Albany Police Department on their
Family Crisis Intervention Unit as
well as in psycho-drama, where patients are encouraged to act out
their aggressions.
"Most of my experience was in
sociological and psychological
areas, and 1 have always been interested in teenage pregnancy, so
when 1 heard that TAPP was being
started, 1 applied for the j o b , " she
said.

To help dcdl with the special
needs and problems of lesbian and
gay students on campus and
statewide, SA has formed a Lesbian
and Gay Task Force.
SA Vice President Brian Levy
said that problems of gays at
SUNYA were to be originally
handled by the Minorily Task
Force.
According to Gay and Lesbian
Alliance President Mike McPartlin,
Affirmative Action, whose main
concern has been problems of
racism and sexism, is not required
lo handle issues concerning gays.
Questions about student altitudes
towards gays on campus have not
been answered by the Affirmative
Action Office at SUNYA in the
past, he added.
McPartlin has been appointed
head of the new task force.
Affirmative Action Officer
Gloria DeSole said that her office
was "in favor of all efforts on campus toward equanimity." She added that she has been accessible to
respond to the problems of gay
students on campus.
* Last spring, SUNYA President
Vincent O'Lcary added a clause to
Ihc university's anti-discrimination
policy stating thai the university
would not discriminate on Ihc basis
of sexual or affectional preference.
McPartlin said thai there has been
little publicity about the new policy
and that an informal task force

way we can cover our costs is to
have less s t u d e n t s , which
theoretically means less costs for
the university."
Indeed, Tennessee's Board of
Trustees has decided that Tennessee's Knoxvillc campus should
cut enrollment by 1,000 students
the fall of 1981.
Norman adds the trustees made
the decision only after Ihc state
assured them that the university's
appropriations would not diminish
along with enrollment. As at most
state schools, Tennessee's appropriations were based on enrollment until lasl fall.
State funding also became a particularly bad problem lasl year for
Cleveland State University (CSU),
says Admissions Director Richard
Dickcrman, when his office misjudged fall enrollment. The stale
based its appropriations on CSU's
enrollment predictions, as it has
done every year, but when a record
19,250 — over a thousand more
than CSU had predicted — showed
up, Dickerman says, "we knew we
goofed."
CSU ended up with a three percent cut in appropriations, when il
actually should have had an increase based on the number of

students.
Dickcrman vows that he'll never
let enrollment reach that number
again. He says it Is impossible to
receive additional state monies in
the middle of the year, so all the
university can do is "accommodate
all the students that arc here," in
spile of a faculty that Dickerman
describes as "rather shorlhandcd in
areas."
Cleveland's situation is hardly
unique, as more and universities admil to having been caught by the
"squeeze." Officials at San Diego
Stale University (SDSU) misjudged
what their fall enrollment would be,,
and found themselves with 6,000
"extra" students,
Denied additional funds by the
state legislature, SDSU President
Thomas Dcy now aims lo cut
500-700 students from the rolls lo
bring the school's tolal down to
24,500 by nexl fall.
The University of Arkansas has
decided the best way lo limit enrollment is lo raise admission standards. University President James
Martin told a Student Services
group lasl month lo pay special aiIcnlion to applicants who graduated
in the lop 40 or 50 perccnl of their
high school classes.
Martin complained that Arkansas' enrollment rose three percent
last year, while funding remained
the same. He hopes to sec at least a
three percent enrollment decline by
next fall.
Until self-imposed cuts can be
made, crowded classrooms —
especially in the more popular
departments — pose the biggest
problem for administrators, says
Peter Flawn, president of the
University of Texas-Austin.
Flawn told "a General Facully
meeting last fall thai "very large
enrollments present us with a very
formidable challenge" that merits
"another look" at a plan to limit
admissions of freshmen and
transfers.
Based on Ihc problems of high
sludcnl-lo-teaeher ratios and
sludenls' difficulty in gelling
classes, Flawn recommended that
the schools of engineering and
business limit enrollment next fall.
The schools of nursing, law, pharmacy and architecture already impose limits.
Earnest Gloyna, dean of Texas'
engineering colleges, agrees that
funding and paying facully is Ihc
biggest problem.
"Most of my belter faculty could
leave the university tomorrow and
double their salary," Gloyna told
the Dally Texan.
CSU's Dickerman agrees that
'engineering professors are a scarce
commodity because universities
can't pay them enough. He points
out that someone with a bachelor of
engineering degree can easily earn
more in his first job than an
engineering P h . D . can earn
teaching. The result, say both
Gloyna and Dickerman, is large
classes and less "student-teacher interaction."
Even when a school can find additional teachers, Dickerman says,
it will often opt to cope with crowded classrooms until enrollment
might decline naturally within the
next few years.
"We have problems in staffing
freshmen engineering and math
classes," he says, "but we're reluclanl to add staff because we are so
certain lhal enrollment will go
down in the eighties. If our school
grows to accommodate the present
increase, then we'll be too big when
the population goes down and we'll
have extra staff and extra facilities
lhal will requite unnecessary wages
and upkeep."

Colleges To Cut Back Enrollment In The '80's
(CPS) In defiance of worries that
drastic enrollment drops in the
1980s would tempt colleges into trying to lure any old warm, tuitionpaying bodies to their campuses, a
large number of schools are actually
starting to limit their enrollments in
the face of what one university
business manager calls "the budget
squeeze of the eighties."
Unexpectedly large enrollment
increases — national enrollment is
up 3.2 percent over fall, 1979, according to the National Center for
Education Statistics — have gravely
strained campus services across the
country, exacerbating housing shortages, classroom overcrowding, and
understaffing problems.
But the money pools where colleges would ordinarily go lo help
pay for expanding campus services
have largely dried up.
Doug Norman, information
director at (he University of Tennessee, says the money simply isn't
available to alleviate these problems, especially at state universities which rely most heavily on
stale funding.
"The cosl of everything —
library materials, utilities, facully
— is going up, but stale funding is
not," Norman explains. "The only

Food Poisoning Might Not Be Culprit
by Dr. Janet Hood
Often confused with "food
poisoning," acute gastroenteritis
occurs from time to time on campuses and in other semi-closed
population groups. When there are
many cases at one time, people
often wrongly conclude that it has
been cause by bad food. This is
understandable, since the symptoms are primarily nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea.

Ihc bacteria that commonly caused

To (he Editor:
Can anything be done to improve the on
campus mail service? Is there really such a
thing? I wonder. First of all, my roommate
sent a Christmas card, last semsler, to an
on-campus friend, he has yet to sec it.
Secondly, I got this pink notice (2/18/81)
saying that I owed 15 cents on a letter which
was waiting for me at the Pine Hills Post
Office. So, I devoted 45 minutes of Tuesday, Feb. 24 to take the bus down, pick up
the letter and catch a bus back up. In ihe
process, I found out the hard way that
there's no bus stop at the corner of Western
and Pine streets. What business is It of
yours? In the top right-hand corner of the
envelope was written, very clearly, "ON

that she'd mailed it in the mailbox under
the archway at Colonial Quad. How it got
to Pine Hills is a mystery to me. Does
anybody else have an explanation??

Our Future
To Ihe Editor:
We think we arc so grand! Elephants are
grand. I saw a little boy, possessor of our
future, and he was sucking a lollipop. I asked him his name. He said to me: "You are
black!" Chairs and tables arc made of
wood, are they not? Who does not see
wooden faces or wooden eyes on a walk
across SUNYA's own podium? We must
stop and think and live, and end our existence as mere pieces of wood!
In my native land, there is hatred and
wai. People kill for pleasure. There certainly is much to be thankful for in these United
States. But we must terminate these images
which maddened. Without social or moral
conditioning, we are animals who flash
leeth. Designer jeans may appeal to our
animal drives_but can they feed the hungry
people or Africa or Asia???

PUNY
To the Editor:
Welcome to PUNY Albany, the Private
University of New York at Albany, unless
students decide that it is time to stop
Carey's service cuts and price hikes.
M A State University system implies that the
<i-tr«-n-Ti-rrB-ir-nrrt-Tt-rriiri»^^
state is picking up much of the costs of running the system, but this is no longer the
case. Our tuition is going up, our room
rents are going up, our board rales are going up, and none of these increases arc due
to inflation.
The increases are due to the faci thai the
governor no longer wants to subsidize the
system. We feel, however, that through the
legislature, budget cuts can be restored and
tuition hikes rolled back.
Therefore, we are organizing a LOBBY
DAY this Monday, March 2nd. There will
be a meeting on Sunday, March 1st at 7.30
in the Fireside Lounge to explain whal lobbying is all about and how to do it.
Lobbying is the very important next step
to insuring that New York retain low-cost,
public, higher education. We don't want

reader) is known In economics as an externality. A n d , as any disciple of Samuelson
can lell y o u , where externalities develop,
government must intervene
Of course, In these days of fiscal eonservallvlstn, there Is not likely to be much sup

John Irvin On Films And Filmmaking
Albany's being haunted.
The city abounds with ghost stories, If you
brush up on your local history. But the new
ghosts are from out-of-town. Peter Straub's
noue/.Ghost Story, an eerie tale of a group
of elderly men who share a secret and a
haunting, Is being filmed in town by Unluer-
Jim Dixon
sal Pictures. Parts of the film, which is costing
a hefty twelue to fifteen million dollars, are
being shot on a specially-constructed soundstage In Albany's Union Station. The ghost is
named Eua Galll, and the upstanding citizens
are being played by an all-star cast Including
Fred Astaire, John Houseman,
Meluyn
Douglas, Patricia Neat, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
The man responsible for bringing the pro>?ct off is director John Irutn, a fortyish
Britisher, who is making his American debut.
Though Iruln may be a new face on the
American filmmaking scene, he's hardly a
newcomer to his craft. A one-time architecture student, Iruin Is a twenty year veteran of
the British Broadcasting Company, having
worked his way up from the editing room.
Most recently, Irvin directed the BBC's
highly
acclaimed
production
of
John
LeCarre's Tinker,Tailor.Soldier.Spy which
starred Alec Guiness, and the new production of Frederic Forsythe's The Dogs of War.
Mr. Iruln consented to an interview in
Saratoga, where much of Ghost Story is being filmed. We talked about The Dogs of
War, Ghost Story, and his thoughts on film
in general.

Capital Rep's Hostage Captivating
><ri h, laddie, those Irish playwrlghtsl
ml) Can they ever give us a play that
'-'
doesn't reek of just a bit too much
alcohol? Not to say that Capital Rep's current
production The Hostage, by Brendan
Behan, Isn't a sober analysis of politics and
captivity. It Is. But at times this serio-comic
rendition of Behan's play tends to get lost In
'he sauce. Set In a Dublin lodging house In
Kathy Kissane
1950, the action concerns itself with the colorful, if disreputable lodgers and the man
they hold prisoner, a young British soldier
taken In retribution for the arrest of an IRA
soldier. It's not so much about political issues
-as It Is about how those Isues affect the
residents of the lodging house and their
hostage.
The play is rather long. It runs approximately 3 hours, with 2 intermissions. A long
time to sit — compounded by the fact that it
Isn't until the end of the (Irsl act thai we are
Introduced to the hostage. The audience is
left wondering what Is going o n , as the
playwright paints a long, detailed exposition.
Through the songs of the lodgers we are
given the necessary historical background on
the IRA and the War of Independence
shines through their bawdlness, the common
bond between captive and captor that
transcends politics. That's what The Hostage
Is all about.
But Behan meant to have fun with his play
too. The lyrics to all the songs are written Into the script; It's the musical arrangements
that have changed. This score was composed by George Andonladis for Capital Rep's
production. It's lull of moving ballads, robust
drinking songs and spirited Irish Jigs
choreographed by Kathleen Angus and performed by a youthful, exuberant casl. There
was one particularly beautiful ballad that
started out as a duet sung by Pat (Richard
Zobel), the caretaker of the lodging house
and Meg Dllllon (Kate Kelly), his consort,
and ended with the rest of Ihe cast joining In.
Ms. Kelly exhibited good solid control over a
difficult melodic line, bringing strength and
clarity to her part.
If the play lacks a clear sense of focus and
continuity In Its structure, that doesn't
necessarily mean that its characters do. It is
rare. In a play consisting of fourteen
characters, that such a sense of Individuality
Is apparent for each. Notably there Is
Mnnsewer (Stephen Nesltt), Ihe owner of

accompaniment was needed. The director,
Michael C. Van Landingham, used a novel
approach for initially incorporating the audience into the play. There was no curtain,
house lights were lull-up when Ihe play
began and the audience was still filtering In
as Ihe actors began entering the set. What
began as barely inaudible mumbling gradually built lo Ihe distinguishable dialogue of the
characters. The set, designed by Dale Jordan and Leslie Taylor, was ingenious In thai
II afforded the director the means to deal
with numerous entrances and exits In the fast
paced production that The Hostage proved
to be.
There were many funny moments,
highlighted by Rio Rita (Richard Gambe), a
homosexual drag queen, and her boyfriend
Princess Grace (John Grlesemer). Similar
comic performances were given by Nancy
Halfner as Miss Gilchrist, a hypocritical social
worker, and her prime target of reform, Mr.
Mulleady (James Goodwin Rice),'a decaying civil servant.
There Is also the young servant girl.
Teresa (Kallh Callln), who falls In love with
the young British hostage. They have some
tender, poignant moments together that only
serve to illuminate the barriers between
them. She Is Irish Catholic, he Is British and
a member of the Church of England. They
can understand their love, but not each
Is real bul is not enough lo save him. The
reality of "the hoy In Ihe Belfast jail" is never
obllleraled completely by the humanity present In that Dublin lodging house.
The Hostage is In production until March

and Sunday matinees at 2:'M) pm Student
tickets are available and additional discounts

Rep Is a company lhat is not In the business
of "selling" plays. Rather they are in the
business of tackling the kind of material that
will best serve the talents of their company
members, and expose the area lo new and
exciting theatre. The Hostage Is not an easy
play to stage, and Capital Rep is to be commended, for taking on such a tremendous
challenge. Plays have a habit of growing as
the production gets further and further Into
the run. This Is one of those plays lhat
deserves to be seen twice. It was long, but a
lot was crammed Into lhat two and a half
hours of stage lime. The Hostage brings
Capital Rep's first season at Page Hall, on

due mainly to script and editing, falls short of
the best of Disney. The plot of this movie has

This film is obviously supposed to be funny

clean, fun entertainment for adults and
children alike. Generally, the plots of these
movies are clear presentations of "Good
Guys vs. Bad Guys": humorous, slightly
moralizing stories. There Is usually a bumbling, but charming underdog style adult hero
a vlllanous ruffian who is out to corrup
children; and several children who are faced
with temptation, but who, with the help of
the bungling hero, prevail, and preserve
their innocence.
Adult viewers of these movies do not have
*o stretch their minds greatly, bul they
seldom leave the theatre not feeling good Inside. As for children, they leave the Iheatte
having had a great deal of fun, and having
been taught a moral lesson. Walt Disney
Productions Is at its best when It presents
these light, but uplifting tales, and Is woefully
inadequate when it ventures Into other
genres.

boring, even to children. The audience Is Introduced to Max Devlin (Elliot Gould) at the
outset. Devlin Is an unfair landlord who Is
run over by a bus while chasing an elderly
tennant who owes back rent. Devlin
descends inlo Hell, where he meets Barney,
a souls manager for Ihe Devil. Barney (Bill
Cosby) offers Devlin a choice of punishment
at level four (we are assured that this Is not
pleasant) or a job as a soul procurer. Devlin
opts (or the latter assignment, and Is given
task of corrupting the souls of three perfectly
innocent children.
All of this occurs In the first ten minutes of
the movie, and is really quite entertaining.
Screeches of delight and fright were heard
from younger members of the audience, and
pleasant laughter was heard from the adult
segment. The screeches of fright I referred to
were caused by a very imaginltive depiction
of Hell. Unfortunately, the first ten minutes
of the movie are the best, and boredom
quickly sets In, We follow Devlin on his antics lo corrupt his three chosen youths and
we are seldom amused, Of course, everyone
lives happily ever after, and we d o , feel
somewhat uplifted by that, bul it is not
enough to justify the price of admission.
Despite the disappointment of Ihe usually
reliable Disney plot, there were some bright
moments, all of which occur through the acting. Gould has rarely given a bad performance. Dcsplle an incredibly weak script, he
still manages a charming porlrayal of Ihe
bumbling adult hero, and his acting could
very well be the best part of this movie.
Cosby Is a lalented comic performer who has
tremendous rapport with children. Bu; in
The Devil and Max Devlin, Mr, Cosby's
talents are shamefully wasted. When he
does get a moment or two on the screen he
brightens up the movie, bul his scenes are
few and far between, When one views the
movie carefully enough, It is easy lo detect
that many o| Cosby's scenes are lying on a
cutting room floor. This is unfortuate for all
ages In the audience, because Cosby and
Gould together were very funny.
The final performance worthy of a comment Is given by screen newcomer, Julie
Budd. Budd plays one of the young people
Devlin must corrupt. Her character is lhat of
a teenage singer without much talent, until
Devlin conies along. As an actress, Ms.
Budd was fair. Frankly she didn't have much
to do. and her Brooklyn accent Is as grating
as Barbara Streisand's.
However, as a singer she Is exceptional.
Not only does Julie Budd bear an uncanny
physical resemblance to Streisand, but her
singing voice has all the depth, range, and
resonance of a young Streisand Budd may
have an outstanding futuie. il her agent is
careful enough,
Despite its all loo evident flaws. The Devil
and Max Devlin is worth taking the children
to see. For adults there are some good performances, and some very charming
moments. Don't be embarrassed to go see
this movie, bul please lower your expectations first.

Local Bands Cure Rockin* Pneumonia
Stfhough
the circumstances were sad,
(Ji
the effects were joyful, as five local
t ^
bands drew crowds to J.B. Scott's
Sunday night In a benefit concert for an III
colleague.
Ray Caligiure
Blotto and The Units headlined Ihe concert, a benefit for Val Haynes, The Units'
lead singer. Haynes has been hospitalized at
The A l b a n y M e d i c a l C e n t e r
with
pneumonia. Heavily advertised on local
radio stations and sponsored In part by
Q-104, the concert was a huge, if lengthy,
success.
The A.D.'s opened the show wilh a lastpaced, hard rocking set. With a simple three
instrument line-up of gullar. bass and drums,
and a lead singer, The A.D.'s showed good
form performing their original songs. "Alone
Again" featured fine singing and excellenl
raw and raunchy guitar leads. Changing
gears. The A.D.'s displayed their ability lo
play at a slower tempo with "Makln' the
Change," a tender and melodic song.
Luckily, the club's tables and chairs had
been pushed to the side to create a huge
dance floor, as the Executives took the stage
next. Their dance-oriented set featured
"Right Direction" and some classic Motown
cover versions, utilizing the superbly emotional singing of Lisa Robillolo. The dance
floor was quickly mobbed as the band followed with stylish rockers. The momentum was
broken towards the end of the set, however,
as a blown amplifier caused a ten-minute
delay.
Taking the stage after a thirty minute intermission were The Mechanical Servants, a
two-woman band comprised of an organ
and guitar player and a bassist. The women
looked interesting In their clipped and dyed
haircuts, bul unfortunately displayed only
limited musical abilities. Their songs had a
quirky disjointed rhythm, and an echo effect
only made their vocals seem more complex.
Interesting (or a while, they grew tiresome
after three or four songs. The least talented
of the five bands, The Mechanical Servants
may have fared better had they played first.
At this point the concert was running
about an hour behind schedule, and It
became evident that It would run Into the
early morning hours.
Blotto came on soon after midnight. The
most successful of the five Albany-based
bands to perform Saturday night, Blotto
delivered a totally enjoyable show. The band
has six members, each contributing an important element to their total sound.
Blotlo exhibited their professionalism with
driving rhythms and excellent singing. Five
of the six Blotto members joined in complex
harmonies, complementing tightly structured
danceablo melodies.
Besides their musical abilities. Blotlo added comical theatrics to their set. Refusing to
lake anything seriously, they delighted Ihe
crowd with versions of their own "My Baby's
I he Star of <i Driver's Ed, Movie' 1 and "I Love
You. Calvin Klein." a hilarious poke «it the
designer jeans Industry. They were a treat for
the eye and ear — musically rich and enjoyable performers.
The same could not be said for The Units,
whose disappointing set showed a lack of Imagination and creativity. Their sound was
monotonous, and their stage presence was
hurt by Hayne's absence.
The best songs The Units played were
written by other artists. The high point of
their set came with a rendition of The
Beatles' "I'll Cry Instead," played loud and
hard. Harvey Kojan of The Executives was
added on keyboards, and he provided extra
energy with his wild pounding piano.
The show's finale came at close to 3:00, as
The Units were joined o\\ stage by each of
the bands for an old rock classic, "Louie
Louie."
The audience had been saturated with
good rock l n ' roll, and everyone involved
went home happy. In addition, the benefit
raised much of the cash needed lo help Val
Haynes. Let's hope she gets well soon.

album, Feelin' Allrlght, their eleventh effort

Ellis Albright
The band hasn't sounded this good on
vinyl in years. Perhaps it has something to
do with March 12 marking ten years since
the release of the classic. New Riders of the
Purple Sage, John Dawson's masterpiece.
The current lineup includes: John
Dawson, acoustic guitar and vocals; David
Nelson, lead guilar and vocals; Allen Kemp,
lead guilar and vocals; Buddy Cage, pedal
steel guilar; Patrick Shanahan. drums and
vocals; and Billy Wolf, bass guilar. O n Ihe
album, however. Michael White plays bass
gullar.
Allen and John contributed eight of the
ten new songs; only Iwo are covers. Two
beautiful songs, "Tell Me" by Allen, and
"Day Dreamin' Girl" by John, are the only
slow numbers on the album. "Pakalolo
Man," also by John, has a funky reggae feeling, and Ihe rest of the songs are all genuine
rock 'n' roll — New Rider style! The title
track, "Night for Making Love." "The Way
She Dances," and "Fly Right." are all sung
Riffs
by Allen. John handles vocals on "Full
Moon al Mldnile." "Snralyn." and the hottest
track. "Crazy Utile Girl."
The band was In lop form last Saturday
night at J.B. Scott's for Iwo sels which Ineluded all the new songs (except "Fly Righl"|
and thirteen old favorites. "Glendale Train,"
'Fifteen Days Under the H o o d , " and the
dope smuggler's anthem, "Henry," got
things cooking right from Ihe start. The next
lour songs, all from Feelin' Allrlght, featured
Allen on lead vocals. "Night for Making
Love" spotlighted Buddy and David playing
some fine and funky solos. "No Other
Love," and "The Way She Dances"("il you
want lo know how he-she makes love, look
at the way he-she dances"), brought the
Riders jamming to the hilt! "Tell Me," a
beautiful ballad written by Allen, was Ihe last
new song of the first set. David took over the
vocals on "Red Hot Women and Ice Cold
Beer" and "Teardrops in my Eyes." The
classic, "Louisiana Lady." played wll
much feeling as ever, closed the sel
After everyone In J.B.'s became a little
more Intoxicated, Ihe band came out lo r Ihe

song, gol tilings rolling right away. F rank
Waketield's "Ashes of Love;" sung by David,
was next.
John took ovei the lead vocals for Ihe next
lour new songs, as the band started wailing
on "Crazy Little Girl" and "Full Moon at Mldnite." "Day Dreamin' Girl." "Pakalulo Man,"
(Panama Red's new Hawalin cousin), and
the new whiskey tune, "Saralyn," completed
all the new material lor Ihe evening. John
picked up his harp and the crew banged out
the old "New Minglewood Blues." Buddy
and David exchanged sizzling slide solos
while the crowd became ecstatic. Everybody
was on his feet as Buddy kicked off
"Lonesome L.A. Cowboy." The crowd's
shuuls anil cries were dually answered, as
Ihe Riders cranked oul "Panama Red," their
blggesl single and only gold record. Nobody
was leaving until Ihey did a lew encores. The
medieval English folksong, "Dead Flowers."
and "Redneck Molher," which (ealured Ihe

There are two Evans originals on this session and they stand out In terms of melodic
Interplay between band members. On B
Minor Wallz." Evans carefully dissects, explores and reconstructs chords as Gomez
and Sigmund keep II all together. "We Will
Meet Again" features fine ensemble playing
and light, relaxed piano. "The Peacock," a
Jimmy Rowles composition. Is given the
royal treatment Willi solos delivered by all
players. The theme from M'A'S'H
never
sounded belter. Bill plays with the theme,
stretches II as far as he can and reshapes the
tune as only Bill Evans could. This Is a good
place lo start lor those new to the sounds of
this key board master. Evans fans will find
great joy and satisfaction in discovering yel
another facet in this gentleman's personally
which jumps al one right off the vinyl. Bill
Evans lives!

his trio collaborated on Magico and
L/M
the results were Indeed magical.
f^r
They are equally intriguing on this
session. Garbarek plays tenor and soprano
saxophones, Haden bass and Gismonti
guitar and piano, and the tonal textures
created by this Instrumentation paint delicate
pictures. These compositions are somewhat
like tone poems; carefully constructed and
carefully executed. This Is not an Improvised
session, nor is It Intensely Impassioned, bul it
is beautiful and colorful and good listening all
al once.
The material Is mostly relaxed In tempo
and the trio uses many economical passages
lo create the horizon of moods and patterns.
Gismonti and Haden stand oul for the
listener as the truly Inspired players on this
date and the lunes "Folk Song" and "For
Turya"(a fine ballad) show their sensitivities
to be at a very high level. Jan Garbarek
sounds like he always sounds o n
E.C.M.records. If you dig him, you'll dig this
too. He Is an Integral part of this effort bul his
sparse style and almosl calculated performances can leave one searching lor more.
Like many E.C.M. disks In this vein, Folk
Songs Is lor special moods and whether or
not this music will maintain It's freshness Is
yet to be seen. For now, however, It Is
beautiful.
The Rova Saxophone Quartet with Henry
Kaiser

/ i f
his music Is not to be pigeon-holed
£*M
and Is as difficult lo describe as It is
*~*
pointless to Judge. It Is no! as Immediately accessible as the previous disc and
some may find II Intimidating. This Is highly
creative music and Is therefore vulnerable to
crillclsms by those who wall to attack new
music as 11 it were freshly killed prey.
The Rova Saxophone Quartet consists of
Jon Raskin, Larry Ochs, Andrew Volght and
Bruce Ackley, who all play the gamut of saxophones. The explorative nature of Ihe four
composilions of Daredevils is not meant as
an intellectual exercise; these men feel this
music- It is their breath. Guitarist Henry
Kaiser evokes incredibly unique sounds from
his Instrument and his sound acts as a
catalyst for some sections of the four compositions presented.
The title track, "Daredevils," consists of a
rhythmic framework that Is repeated by the
Quartet In a variety of patterns.Dialogue seclion featuring the saxophones with gullar
juxtapositions blend Into the chordal suslalnmenls that close out the piece. All four
cuts are noteworthy as well as varied and It Is
Kaiser's twenty-seven minute work Mai Que
Amir, that Is the most diverse. It Includes
dialogue sections, solo sections and Intricate
ensemble playing. As I said, there are a lot of
new sounds to be heard on Daredeulls, Be
forwarned.

t h e turtle's death was t h e store's fault.
(Incidentally, I a m a biology major with a
particularly concentrated interest in herpatology, t h e study of reptiles). Having
owned a turtle back home for almost ten
years n o w , I c a n safely say that only the
best of care was given that turtle.
W h e n asked what he was going t o d o
with C o c o a in t h e mean time, T o m said
" I ' l l freeze h i m a n d then have a herpatologist take a look at h i m . " Well this
sounded a bit t o o troublesome for a thriving business — contesting the loss of a nine
dollar Item. T h e mercenary act this m a n
committed was less than despondent compared t o t h e merciless slaughter of the
animal.
James R o b i n s o n , a Delmar veterinarian,
was supposed t o inspect our deceased turtle
on Tuesday, February 24. O n Wednesday,
Feb. 2 5 , we called Pet World and spoke
again t o T o m w h o told us that under no circumstances would h e refund o u r money or
even replace o u r turtle o n an even exchange. W h e n asked whether Dr. Robinson
had actually inspected the turtle; T o m said,
"No,".
T o add b a c k g r o u n d , my suitcmatcs purchased a fish t a n k , gravel, filters a n d ten
dollars w o r t h of fish last semester. Within
two m o n t h s , t h e ten dollars worth of fish
died of u n k n o w n causes. When asked
where t h e fish were p u r c h a s e d , my
suilcmates responded " t h a t new store, Pet
World, at t h e N o r t h w a y M a l l , "

Kangaroo Court
To the Editor:
Wednesday night, I appeared before the
University Judicial Board as a witness for a
defendant in a particular case. Never before
have 1 seen such a group t h a t , in their attempt at fairness, did more injustice than
justice to the defendant.
Besides myself and o n e other witness, t h e
defendant a n d the other witnesses, totalling
eight people, did not know a n y of the rules
of parliamentary procedure, n o r did t h e
board make a n y attempt at the outset t o explain these rules, even in a modified form.
The witnesses could not have known that
they were speaking out of turn a n d at one
point they were threatened wilh expulsion
from the hearing if they continued to speak
out of turn. T h e rules of parliamentary p r o cedure came u p as the case proceeded, but
there was n o explanation of each rule. Still,
I am wondering h o w many of the witnesses
know what ' P o i n t of I n f o r m a t i o n ' means.
Another instance of unfair trial was when
one of the b o a r d members started yelling al
the defendant a n d the witnesses in much the
same way a parent yells al a three year old
child for doing something w r o n g .
I d o realize that a n adversary stance
should b e taken by t h e b o a r d members
against b o t h t h e defendant a n d t h e complainant, but t h e board seemed to have
. t a k e n the stance that the defendant was
already guilty before t h e case was finished
being heard.
As there were a lot or witnesses, two were
asked t o m a k e closing statements. This was
understandable, since the case would have
' extended well over Iwo hours a n d the
witnesses' closing statements would probably have overlapped; however, t h e t w o
who m a d e closing statements were n o t , in
my opinion, listened to by the board
members. I, as one of thcwiincsscs making
a closing statement, did not sec any of the
board members writing clown any of my
statement, which included material that had
not ycl been brought t o light.
My final complaint is that although the
charge was that t h e defendant violated one
of the rules in the student guidelines, that
specific guideline was so vague that the actual violation, in regards t o the guidelines,
could n o t be seen.
I am very disappointed t o think thai litis
is a student-run judicial h o a r d . The lack of
concern a n d courtesy ihul these student
showed t h e defendant, another student,
just proved t o me that this is not an adjudicating council, hill a kangaroo court, 1
also hope that my criticisms in this letter are
taken well by the judicial board members. I
would hate t o sec the verdict be a result of
this letter against the b o a r d .

Busing Problems
To the Editor:
I was appalled by the editorial, " B u s
Stop Blues" especially since I have been a
member of the d o w n t o w n community for
the past three and a half years.
W h o cares if uptown people have t o wait
a half hour t o gel a bus at three in the morning? It was their choice to come downtown
in the first place. Alumni quad residents, on
the other hand, are forced to use these
buses every day. W e ' r e lucky if we gel a bus
every half hour during the day, never mind
at two or three a.m. I
D o you know how hard it is to gel a bus
for a 9:45 class? O r h o w much you have lo
fight to get on the bus once it comes? You
say it's dangerous for drunk people lo fight
their way o n t o a bus. H o w about totally
sober people at 8:45 a m , pushing each oilier
on Icy sidewalks? I've seen people slide
under the bus, gel hit by wild pockctbooks
a n d backpacks, and gel poked in the eye
with umbrellas.
You ask for new proposals to solve this
problem; firsl of all, you should realize that
it took over Iwo years for them to run buses
at t w o a n d three in l he morning. I
remember when the last bus ran al 12:35
a . m . a n d personally, 1 think Ihe bars
d o w n t o w n were a lol nicer t o go lo then. Second, you should realize thai every year I
have been here new proposals have been
made and none of ihem have worked.
There are still loo few buses for too many
passengers, t o o few Wellington buses for
the people w h o live east of Draper Hall, t o o
m a n y busdrivcrs w h o a r e forced l o
dangerously fit t o o many people o n o n e
bus, a n d a b u s schedule that still has three
buses sitting at Draper for lunch breaks
while the bus slops fill u p with people. S o
you think that Ihe people w h o wait daily
d o w n t o w n Tor these buses really feci sorry
Tor d r u n k e n uplowners al three a . m . ? I
d o n ' l think so at all. As a mailer of f a d ,
it's about lime that uptown people fell a little of the inconvenience we feci every day.
T h e administrators should try t o change
the daytime b u s schedule before they Ihey
worry about Ihe evening one.

Our Turn Now
One of the most important attributes of the SUNY system in
the past has been its low cost, high quality education. The SUNY
Board of Trustees has lost sight of this fact. In calling for a tuition hike, they are neglecting their responsibilities to the students.
The trustees are unwilling to fight for SUNY.
If they won't act, we must find the solutions to these problems
ourselves.
Through the combined efforts of SU, SA and SASU we now
have a chance to state our views to our elected officials in the
legislature,
On Monday, it will be our turn to lobby in a strong and unified
way.
We must all join together to tell our legislators that we cannot
afford a tuition increase.
It is the obligation of the state to provide students access to a
quality education. We must convince our elected officials that
there are reasonable alternatives other than a tuition increase in
order to balance the SUNY budget. We are sure that there are
other areas of the state budget that can be cut which would have a
less detrimental effect on the future of the state and our nation as
a whole.
If the necessary money cannot be found, the alternative would
be tragic.
With Ihe decrease in government grants and loans, many
students may find it difficult to cope with the present cost of
education. With an added tuition increase it could become impossible to deal with.
We cannot allow public higher education to be used as a pawn
in the budget game. It is a necessity and the legislature must
realize its responsibilty to provide it.
So on Monday, we must all descend on the Capitol and let our^
voices be heard. Wc must go in numbers to make them aware of
our needs.
Without sizeable student support, our pleas will not be heard.
And the trustees will continue to raise our tuition annually until
higher public education becomes a luxury only the rich can afford.

Not A Majority

*V^
T o the Editor:
1 would like to complain about the colu m n o n the Moral Majority in Ihe ASP o n
Tuesday, February 24. While I agree completely that the Moral Majority is a
dangerous, puritanical group of extremely
misguided people w h o presume to tell the
country about its sins, I d o not agree at all
with your attack on Christians. Christians
consist of a wide range of religions which
are very different, save one respect. Not all
Christians a r c trying to make Jewish kids
pray t o a Christian god and there aren't
very many Christians who are right oul of
the Spanish Inquisition. The Moral Majority is not a majority of Christians, 1 ant a
Christian and I d o n ' l think there is
anything wrong with that, I found your
generalizations highly insulting.

Oneonta earlier In the week. Saucrs
calls Jcdnak his best defensive big
man, and his absence will leave the
Danes lacking in the middle.
"There's no way he's even close
to playing on the tournament,"
Saucrs said. "That makes it difficult for us matching up inside."
So the Danes will have to rely on
their bench power more this
weekend than ever before this
season. The Albany subslitutes
have outscored their opponents second line players all year, but the
true test,is still to come.
"If we're going to win the tournament, we're going to have to get
some good playing from our bench
— get some contributions from our

"Every player has got lo fulfill

running events, a 60-yard dash and
a half-mile run. There is also a

Henson drove inside to put Cortland within one, but the Dragons
knocked the rebound of the back
end of Dicckclman's one and one
and one out of bounds. Stanish
then iced the victory with two free
throws with 21 seconds remaining.
Cortland dropped in another
bucket at Ihc buzzer, but all for
naught.
"It was hard for us to play
without Feldcr and Meycrdierks,"
Cortland head basketball coach
Alan Stockholm noted.
"It was foolish," Sauers commented, "for them to foul out
when they were ahead — that's
bad."
"As long as they had the lead
they had the quicker team in there
(without Feldcr and Meyerdierks)
and it could have worked in their
favor," Clunc pointed out. "But as
soon as we got the lead it worked in
our favor.
"I think this game could be attributed to Ihc crowd," Clunc added about the small, but noisy home
audience. "If we were on the road it
would have been real hard for us to
win. Hopefully this will give us
momentum," he continued.
The Danes will need all the
momentum they can get when they
take on the University of Buffalo in

without the services of their two top

Cortland picked their shot

Albany Comeback Nips Cortland In Overtime
Seniors Playing In Final Home Game
Notch 20th Win Of The Year, 66-64
by Larry Kahn
It has been a long time since an
Albany State basketball team won
20 games in the regular season, but
the Danes notched their twentieth
In the season finale on Tuesday
against Cortland in University
Gym.
But it wasn't easy. Albany was
down three times from the second
half on, but each lime they fought
back and finally edged the Red
Dragons in overtime, 66-64.
"I have never been so proud of a
team," said Albany head basketball
coach Dick Sauers. "So many guys
were sick and hurl. Coaching was
no longer a factor, it was their individual effort and pride. They're a
bunch of winners — the whole
damn team."
The victory extended Albany's
record to 20-4 — the best regular
season mark Ihey have ever posted.
The Danes hadn'i matched that
output since the 1960-61 campaign,
although they have gone on to win
over twenty games in eaclt of the
past two seasons in post-season
play.
The game was also special for
another reason. With Potsdam
already selected to host the NCAA
Division III Eastern Regional,
seniors Rob Clune, Ray Ccsarc,
Pcle Stanish and Steve Low played

Chine, who has played in every
Albany contest for four years, also
set a new team record with 101
games played.
"We were kind of charged u p , "
Clunc said.
"It felt a little special," Cesare
added. "I realized it might be the
last one here and I gol a little up lor
it."
Albany, with all four seniors starling, controlled the game in the first
half, leading by as much as 20-12
despite 38 percent shooting from
the floor. The big difference in the
half was Albany's control of the
boards, with John Dicckclman (13
points, 13 rebounds) ripping down
six of the team's 21 rebounds while
Cortland was held to only 14.
The Danes led 29-24 at halftimc,
but the Red Dragons came out roaring in the second half. With 15:48,
left star forward Jim Meycrdierks
(23 points per game uveragc), who
had been held to only six points and
had three personal fouls in the first
half, stole the ball in the backcourt
and dropped in ah easy breakaway
lay up to give Cortland the lead,
35-33. Aided by Albany's horrendous outside shooting they extended their advantage to 44-37.
Then the momentum began to
swing back to Albany. Dicckclman
blocked a shol and Cesnre drove inside for two lo narrow the lead lo
44-41. Slowly the Danes closed the
gap and tied il with seven minutes
left on two Mike Gallo free throws,
47-47.
Cortland regained and held a
four point lead, but at 3:31, Meycrdierks committed his fifth foul and
left the game with only 12 points.
Without their big man the Dragons
began to flounder.
"He's their leader — when he
went out they were looking for
somebody lo give it t o , " noted
Dieckelman, who covered Meycrdierks most of the game.
Dicckclman missed three consecutive free throws, bin a Stanish
short jump shot brought the
crowd back to life and the Danes
with Iwo. Cortland turned it over
quickly and Stanish (game high 18
points) hil on a baseline jumper lo
even it, 55-55, with only 2:06 left.
Cortland attempted to play for
the last shot, but the strategy
backfired. Clune and Ccsarc trapped Tom Spanbaucr and when he
tried lo pass il Galto came up on the
right wing for the steal and an easy
lay up with 0:32 remaining.
"It looked like a watermelon il
was so big. I couldn't believe he
lobbed it up there like thai," Gallo
said.
Down by two, Cortland failed on
two shorl jumpers by Sieve Frenchman and Mike Polan, but the
resulting scramble for the hitler's
rebound ended in a jump ball with
two seconds on the clock.

Dick Sauers hates it. He feels that
even though a team plays a 20 game
plus regular season schedule, it
must. still subject itself to the
hazards of a four team tournament.
Potsdam's Jerry Welsh agrees
with Sauers. His Bears arc 25-1
undefeated in the conference, rank-
ed third in the nation in Division
111, and have been in the io| five
for the substantial portion of the
season. Now they must survive a
tournament in order lo prove their
worthiness of the conference

is right.
"Potsdam, with their record,
should've already won the con-
ference and been declared the
champion," he said.
But no matter what the coaches
say, the SUNYAC Tournament
begins tonight at Potsdam's Maxcy
Hall. By winning the East Division,
the Bears gained the right to host
the second annual go-round to
determine who gets the conference
title, and the automatic NCAA
regional bid that goes with il.
Two learns from each division arc
participating — Albany (20-4) and
Potsdam from the East, and the
University of Buffalo and Buffalo
Slate (17-8) from Ihe West, which
were lied for their division title with
8-2 conference records. By virtue of
a coin flip, UB was granted first
place, and the right lo play Albany,
the number two team in the East, in
the first round tonight at 7:00.
Potsdam plays Buffalo State in
the second game, and Ihe winners
meet tomorrow night for I he championship at 9:00.
The set up is an exact repeal of

Ruling Challenges Title IX
by Susan Milllgan
A federal judge in Michigan has
ruled that colleges and public
schools arc not required to provide
equal athletic programs for men
and women If those programs do
not receive direct federal monies.
The decision, still under appeal,
may be a major setback for Title
IX, a federal law mandating equal
opportunity for men and women in
the athletic programs at federally
funded educational institutions.
Title IX states that "no person in
the U.S. shall, on the basis of sex,
be excluded from participation in,
be denied the benefits of, be treated
differently from another person, or
otherwise be discriminated against
in any inlcrscholastic, intercollegiate, club, or intramural
athletics offered by recipient, and
no recipient shall provide any such
athletics separately on such basis."
The scope of the law extends
from preschool to graduate
students and from professional
staff to support staff.
Non-compliance with the law
could result in the cut-off or federal
funds to a school district.
U.S. District Judge Charles W.
Joiner ruled, however, that "the
reach of Title IX extends only lo
those educational programs or activities which receive direct financial
assistance."
The ruling was a result of a
lawsuit filed by Arthur Owen, who
demanded thai a women's goir
team be started at Ann Arbor's
Pioneer High School.
The ruling would not al'fecl
SUNYA unless affirmed al an appellate level.
Women's coach Lee Rhenish said
she "hopes the (ruling) won't affecl
us" and added that although "Ihe
federal law is the pressure behind"
Title IX compliance, she hoped thai
Ihe institution itself would provide
equal opportunity regardless of
regulations.
Rhenish remarked, however, that
. the issue "may end up in the
Supreme Court . . . and In view of
the administration (the result may
be) what Ihe National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) has
been promoting for years."
Several of the member schools of
the NCAA have argued that their
programs are sclf-supporling and
subsequently should not be subject
lo Title IX regulations.
SUNYA Athletic Director Bob
Ford said thai most of those schools
who opposed the regulation "were

Texas and Alabama." The athletics He said he "has always been in favor of the Title IX admendmeni.

Feds Tighten Controls Over Foreign Students
by Susan Smith
In an attempt to tighten controls
on foreign students in this country,
Ihe U . S . I m m i g r a t i o n and
Naturalization Service (INS) has
ruled that students' Arrival and
Departure Form must now list a
specific departure day.
Previously, students could stay in
the country as long as they were
enrolled in classes. In order to
maintain student status, Assistant
Dean for Student Affairs in the International Student Service Paul
Ward said, individuals must be
bona fide students, "rry a full
academic load, speak fluent
English, and have sufficient funds
lo support themselves.
The new regulation, elective
March 30, will afreet 300,000
foreign students throughout the
country. At SUNYA there are 465
roreign students from 79 different
countries, Ward said.
The tightening or controls on
Toreign students was stimulated by
the Iranian situation. In the rail or
1979 Iranians were required by Ihe
INS to have their status cards
revalidated, as well as interviews
conducted
and
individual
photographs taken. Although Ihe
INS asked for a list of how many
Iranian students were presently
enrolled in U.S. schools, not all
schools complied. The exact
number of Iranian students was nol
known.
Ward
said,
however,
that
"SUNYA had eight or nine Iranian
students at that time and we had no
problems complying."
Janet Orahm of the INS said Ihe
new controls will be implemented so
lhal belter records can be kept.
"Now we can monitor foreign
students b e t t e r , " explained
Graham. "We found that in admitting them for a 'duration of status'
il was easy to lose track of them."
"The new controls force a
stricted adherancc lo Ihe minimum
time required lo complete two or
four-year degree programs, and
make sure students keep to the
school-designated timetable," she
said.
Foreign students rind the new
regulation confining, according to
Ward. "A finite dale raises a
modest amount of anxiety because
students now feel pressured to
finish by a certain date," she said.
"However, if Ihey have substantial
reasons why they can not complete
requirements by lhal date, the
students should nol have any problems."
"Say a person has problems with
a research project and musl stay an
additional year," Ward continued.
"The new regulation docs allow
students to extend their stay by appealing at the INS. Presently, it's
not yet clear how that system will
work."
Graham suggested it would be
difficult to change the status duration of the currently-enrolled
students. "The new regulation Is
not really here for students enrolled
now, but for the incoming students.
We're not asking anyone lo come to
the INS," she said.
According lo Ward, currcnl students will be integrated into the new
system through their many contacts
wilh Ihe INS. "Students must contract the INS for work permission,
(ol' which they're allowed 20 clock
hours), notiricalion lhal Ihcy're
transrerring lo anolhcr school, and
when Ihey relurn lo porl or entry
after going home for vacalion," he
said.
Graham said lhal although she
has no idea or Ihe effect the new
regulation will have on presently
enrolled students, she reels the
situation "will balance itseir out."
