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

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

right wing for the steal and an easy

"It looked like a watermelon il

said.
Down by two, Cortland failed on
two shorl jumpers by Sieve Frenchman and Mike Polan, but the
resulting scramble for the hitler's

Albany head basketball coach
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
crown. And Sauers doesn't think it
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.

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

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

And fresh in Albany's mind must

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."

U.S. Aid to Nicaruffua Cut
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) The Reagan administration already has cut off U.S. aid to Nicaragua because
of that nation's role in the relay of arms to El Salvador's
leftist insurgents, Sen. Jesse Helms said Sunday. "They
have cut it off," the North Carolina Republican said on
NBC's "Meet the Press" when asked whether such a
severance was likely In light of administration contentions that military hardware from various communisi
nations is. being channeled through Nicaragua to the
Salvadoran guerrillas. While $50 million in aid to
Nicaragua's recently installed Sandinista government is
"In the pipeline," Helms said, "I have a note here from
the State Department that says the rest of that is going to
be withheld." Helms added that he didn't know "if
they've announced it. yet." State Department
spokeswoman Sue Pittman confirmed the essence of
Helms' remarks with the following statement: "Helms is
technically correct. Aid to the government of Nicaragua
has been suspended. None is going forward. However, a
decision on this matter will not be made until we have
completed a thorough review of Nicaraguan compliance
with all the conditions related to extension of aid as provided for in U.S. law." Pittman declined to elaborate on
the statement. Helms expressed support for the administration stance toward El Salvador, which has
toughened since the State Department released a "white
paper" to support its- contention that communist nations are providing arms to the insurgents.
Israel Attacks Palestine
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) Israeli warplanes today attacked
Palestinian guerrilla bases northeast of the Lebanese
town of Tyre, the military command'said. A communique said the attack was designed to prevent guerrillas
from regrouping and setting out on missions against
Israel. All planes returned safely after scoring "accurate
hits," it said. It gave no further details. There was no
immediate comment from Beirut. The last Israeli raid
into Lebanon was a ground sortie against guerrilla bases
near the southern Lebanese town of Nabatiyeh Feb. 23
in which the Israelis claimed at least 10 guerrillas were
killed.

discoveries with the help of a sophisticated, cumputcrcontrollcd spectroscope at the Lick Observatory of the
University of California at Sanla Cruz. The galaxies arc
about 10 billion light years from earlh, meaning the light
that left them 10 billion years ago is just now reaching
the earth, Spinrad said. Light travels at about 186,000
miles per second. Two of the galaxies have been
catalogued and have been reported officially. Two
others have been identified, but have not yet been
recorded officially, Spinrad said during a telephone interview from his home in Moraga, about 35 miles east of

Marijo Fasulo, assistant director of the Art Gallery,
said works on paper in the gallery's collection have suslained the mosl damage. Some of the damage .occurred
as a result of a dry-mounting process used several years
ago which involved hot-pressing prints on a paper backing wilh a glassinc tissue, as an adhesive. The heal of the

Two Men Are Suspected of "Peeping "in Showers
by Judle Eisenberg
Reports of men walking into
bathroom facilities and "peeping"
at women in the showers in Indian
Quad lowrises have prompted an investigation by the Department or
Public Safety, according lo Investigator John Coleman.
The department believes two different men are responsible for four
reported incidents oceuring from
last October to February.
A suspeel apprehended February
21, was soon released because no
witness could positively identify
. him. Coleman explained the man
was picked up because the deparlment thought he was "a good
possibility. He was an outsider —
not a student — and he was walking
around Indian Quad early Saturday
morning when usually no one is
awake. One of ihe residence slaff
who was unlocking the dorm doors
saw him and notified us."
The suspect denied he was on the
quad to peep inlo women's
showers, Coleman said. The depanmenl hasn't come up with any new
suspects.
The situation on Indian Quad
seems to be unique, he continues,
"Although men have peeked under
the stalls and into the showers, in
women's hall bathrooms on Alumni
Quad in the past year, and similar
incidents have been reported in the
Campus Center after a function,
these reports have tended to be
isolated incidents.
"On Indian, it's a different type
of occurence," he continued. "It
happened a couple of times in one
week."
A victim accosted while taking a
shower in Onondaga Hall lasl October said she was in the bathroom
alone al approximately 8 a.m.,
when she thought she saw someone
move the curtain. Not believing
anyone was really there, she said,
she continued wilh Ihe shower. A
fully dressed man, wearing a
dungaree jacket then opened the
curtain and looked in. She screamed, and lie ran out.
She said her screams caused a
female resident across the hall to
come oul in lime lo see Ihe man
fleeing. He reportedly said, "Oh, I
thought it was a boy's shower" as
he ran down the hall.
A similar occurence happened the
next week to another woman using
the Onondaga facilities alone In ihe
morning. A man, believed lo be the

Carey Rescinds Alcohol Proposal
by Frank Gil
Governor Hugh Carey has
rescinded his assumed proposal for
24-hour bars, claiming an apology
to anyone who was misled by his
original statement.
Carey said last week that his
earlier statements may have changed in "translotion""and even suggested that he might soon support
the raising of the state's drinking
age.
The governor explained lhal he
"has never recommended 24-hour
bars" and that his "emphasis" at
the time was intended to be in the
marketing of "wine and spirits in
grocery stores." Carey reaffirmed
his support of closing some small liquor stores and switching the liquor

He added, however, that he has
no immediate plans for proposing a
bill lo Ihe stale legislature to expand

grocery stores.
"I'm nol going to offer the

unless they ask for it," he said.
"And nobody's asked for it."
Director of Communicalions to
Ihe Governor Bill Snyder said that
"no formal proposals are in legislation—everything is just in Ihe talking stage."

"The governor wants to have a
minimum number of regulations on
alcohol industries while not
boosting the consumption of
alcoholic beverages,'1 he explained.
"This is just a highlight in the continuing cfrort of deregulating them

must be looked at closely."
The governor's initial proposal
was severely criticized by antialcoholism and anti-drunk driver
organizations, causing legislative
leaders to quickly move away from
Carey on Ihe issue, according lo the
Associated Press.
Carey also suggested thai he
might support the raising of the

BERKELEY, Ca(CPS) Hoping for
what they sec as an historic victory,
anti-nuclear activists here are optimistic they will soon force a
divorce between the University of
California and the university's
government-sponsored nuclear
weapons research.
Largely because of public controversy over the research, the U.S.
Department of Energy Is "seriously
reviewing" its contract with the
university, which operates the
DOE's Los Alamos (N.M.) and
Lawrence Livermore nuclear
weapons research laboratories.
The review will be finished by
March 31, at which time Ihe government will decide whether to renegotiate its relationship with the
university, or let it drop.
The relationship dates to the
mid-I'MOs, but has been under increasing pressure from university
anli-nuclcar activists for the last
five years. '
The activists gained a powerful
ally in state Governor Jerry Brown,
who sits on Ihe university's board
of regents and who has asked Ihe
regents repeatedly lo let the
research contract run out, His motions have failed, but a compromise

Alberto Carlos commented thai the

Several who attended the

that a new program would be an

A proposal to establish a LatinAmerican-Caribbcan Studies program at SUNYA met with mixed
reactions at a meeting of Ihe Advisory Planning Committee for the
Department of Puerto Rican
Studies last Tuesday.
According to clean of the Anthropology Department Dean Snow
the new program "is totally
separate" from the Department of
Puerto Rican Studies. The program, developed by Peter Furst of
the Anthropology Departmcnl, is
intended lo offer a broader perspective of Caribbean and LatinAmerican cultures than Puerto
Rican Studies, said Snow.
Snow emphasized, however, that
the program, if passed, "shouldn't
interfere" with the budget of the
Department of Puerto Rican
Studies.
The new program, which would
be offered under the College of
Social and Behavioral Studies,
Snow explained, would replace Ihe
lntcr-American Studies program
now offered in (he College of
Humanities. The focus, then,
would become "more clearly Latin,
with a Puerto Rican component,"
Snow said.
Elia Chrislcnsen of the Puerto
Rican Studies Department commented that the Puerto Rican
studies major encompasses courses
in Caribbean studies.
Snow said, however, that while
complaining thai Ihe oversight committee, by more closely and publicly
examining the research performed
at the labs, was jeopardizing national security.

"No-Show" Buses Cause
Feud Over Bus Service
by Wayne I'eereboom
A controversy has emerged between Dutch Quad Board and Brennan Bus Service concerning the chartering of buses to the Rafters
Saturday night.
Scott Rothenburg of Dutch Quad Board claims his group chartered
three buses from Ihe Brennan Bus Service to leave that quad at 9 p.m.
The class of '84 had also chartered three buses scheduled lo leave at
the same time, Rothenburg said.
The quad board member said that the buses did not show at the
scheduled time. He called Campus Security, who informed him that
three buses were seen on Slate Quad.
"Brennan Bus Service owner James Brennan claims his company had
only one order that night. "One group said they ordered them (the
buses), but they never did," he said. Brennan did not specify which
group had not ordered the buses.
Rothenburg claims he called Brennan twice last week to confirm the
reservation. "I don't know if the other group ordered buses but we
didn't get any," he said,
Rothenburg said he eventually contacted Brennan, who sent buses
to Dutch Quad. However, by the time the buses arrived two hours
later, Rothenburg said, only 20 of the 120 students who bought tickets
were left.
According to Rothenburg, his group "is In the midst of negotiating
the terms of payment" for bus service. Brennan suid he intends to
charge for half a busload because "that's the amount oT kids that
went."
Rothenburg said his quad board will refund the tickets of the student who did not intend.

Actually, we were not entirely unfamiliar
with the play. We had read it before, for Dr,

was very good then, too.
We don't think they used the same translation in the production as the one we read for
Dr. Martland. We remember reading a few
lines in our translation which they didn't say.
We can't remember exactly which lines they

could he? The other way Is so much more
succinct. We hoped he wasn't ad libbing.
We suppose we ought to tell you what the
play was about, in case you didn't see it. Of
course, if you didn't see it, you probably
aren't reading this review, so what's the use?
In either case, the play is so darned complicated, and so much has- been written
about It academically, we wouldn't be
presumptuous enough to tell you our Interpretation, Suffice lo say the play is basically
about three dead people locked in a room
.for all eternity, who create their own Hell
through the sheer dynamics of their personalities.
One of the dead people locked In the
room Is Cradeau. the "macho man" turned
coward. He was played by Glenn E.
Russow. We though he was very good, except sometimes he was a little too stiff."He
was also constantly harsh, loud and an-
noyed. We wished he would try some other
tones of voice to give the character more
dimension.
We thought Deborah Sperry did a terrific
job as the avaricious "dumb blonde," Estelle.
She perfectly combined passivity with utter
confusion, and tortured her fellow Hellmates in the most begullihgly Indirect of
manners.
Lynn Holland stole the show as the
wonderfully contemptuous lesbian, Inez.
She was the very essence of "bitch." Her
face reeked of evil and hatred, even as she
smiled. Her seduction scene with Estelle was
hypnotic, and the sheer disgust and envy she
portrayed when Estelle refused to comply
was unnervingly realistic.
What else can we say? We saw the play,
we have written about it, but now we must
move o n . We have a lest later this week
which we must study for, We are also going
to a birthday parly later this evening. We had
so little time to write this review. So you see.

However, if you re looking for
the peanut bin, forget it. Since the
first of January, those bins have
been emptied and refilled with a less
expensive, more available commodity.
Crop failures resulting from a
scorching heat wave in the Midwest
and South have made' peanuts a
costly and scarce luxury. The hot
weather lasted from June 23 to
August IS, making it the worst heat
wave since the dust bowl days in the
1930's.

A g r i c u l t u r e estimates t h a t
Americans consume about 64
pounds per person each year.
"Peanut butter is a main staple in
many homes," she said, "but it will
be expensive and hard to find.
Planters Peanuts have already stopped making peanut butter."
Nicholas Cassimeris, co-owner of
the Empire State Nut Co., agreed
and said there has been a 60 percent
loss of the entire peanut crop grown
in the United States. The remaining
40 percent of peanuts arc "smalller
and less tasty than peanuts in
previous years."
While availability has decreased,
prices have increased, Cassimeris
added. His firm still has peanuts,
but prices have doubled from 99
cents to $1.99 per pound.
"Peanut prices haven't gone up
in the past 50 years. The last time
we saw something like this was in
the 1950's-and that was just onefourth cent per pound," he said.
As a result, peanut dealers are
forced to import peanuts from
Brazil, China, India and Africa.
"Yet this won't be enough to meet'
the American demand," Cassimeris
said.
SUNYA students will also feel
the effects of the shortage. Peanut
butter, is now only served in
cafeterias during lunch, according
to Commissary Director Ronald
Clough.
"Peanut butter is just not
available. We have been paying 25
percent more for peanut butter

"We were really patient and we

Pete Stanlsh and Ray Ccsare, went
on a 12-2 seoring spree — a highly
uncharacteristic event against
Potsdam — and took a 38-33 advantage and grabbed the momentum. The two seniors scored all 12
points, wilh C'esare netting eight of
his 13 second half tallies (two jump
shots and two lay ups — one on a
steal from Jaehlm), and Slanish gelting four on his way to a game high
18 (on blistering 8-9 shooting).
But Albany didn't do it alone.
Potsdam abandoned their /one for
a man-to-man, letting the Danes
utilize their motion offense. And on
their side of the court, Potsdam fell
victim to Jachlm's unusual rash of
errors. On three consecutive trips
downeourl, Jaehlm had Ihe hall
stolen from him, charged into
Slanish, and dribbled Ihe hall off
his leg on a drive.
"We went stretches where we
didn't run our offense," Welsh
said, along wilh his usual high
praise of Ihe Danes. "We've beaten
,so many teams so easily, we forget

good team."

NCAA Bid Doesn't Fare Well
by Bob Bellariore
The NCAA Eastern Regionals will be held at Potsdam next
weekend. That was decided last week. That was also a very large booboo.
The book says that the winner of the SUNYAC gets an automatic
bid to the Eastern Regional. Last year, Potsdam won the conference,
and only then were they granted the right to host the regional.
Now, in the NCAA's infinite wisdom and foresight, they figured
that the Bears were a shoo-in to take the SUNYAC title again, and
hence cam the right to host the regional.
Wrong.
Albany State won the SUNYAC's, the automatic bid, and the right
to host. The NCAA probably didn't expect that to happen. Now what
do they do?
They can't go against their own handbook. They can't take the
regional away from Polsdam. So they send Albany back up to
Potsdam for another possible showdown — a fourth of the season,
and the third in five weeks.
How can the major governing body in intercollegiate athletics be so
needlessly presumptuous as to all but award a conference crown and
all the spoils that go wilh it to a team that hadn't rightfully earned
them yet?
Okay. Potsdam is 26-2, and the only losses they have arc by one
point each. They really do deserve to host. But those aren't the rules.
When the SUNYAC realigned before last season and the tournament
was instated to decide the champion,, the team that won, it was decided, would get the bid, and the chance to have the NCAA's at their
court.
Put simply, Albany won the tournament, and they should host.
The NCAA was quite mistaken in their assumptions. Now the Bears
will play the weaker of the four teams, and Albany will face St.
Lawrence — the other team that beat Polsdam, and he forced lo fight
and scratch their way into the finals, and possibly another game with
Ihc Bears.
Basically, it is stupid for the Danes lo have to go back lo Potsdam

Seras A Ibany 's First Freshman AU-American
National Crown Only Tick Away
by Larry Kahn
Andrew Seras was just one second away from becoming
Albany's first Division III National
Wrestling Champion on Saturday
night at John Carroll University in
Cleveland, but he had to settle for
runner-up as he paced the Albany
State wrestling team to an excellent
15th place finish and became the
D a n e s ' first freshman AllAmerican.
Seras, the only underclassman to
make it to the finals, met Chad
Gross from John Carroll University
in the 134 pound championship. The
two wrestled to a 5-5 tic in regulation and Seras led 3-2 in overtime
when with one second left Gross,
wrestling before a large and noisy
hometown crowd, scored two
points on a reversal to steal the
crown.
Still, Seras advanced farther than
any Albany wrestler ever has with
his second place showing. On the
season overall the 134-pounder had
a phenomenal 45-5-1 record and
had Ihc second winningest year in
Albany wrestling history.
"The job Andrew did was
outstanding," said Albany head
wrestling coach Joe DcMeo.
"Throughout it all he kept his cool,
and you can't come any closer than
a reversal in the last second.
"1 was really just so pleased and
proud of him. He certainly exceeded everyone's expectations and
goals — or at least equalled them,"
DeMco continued. "He's the best
freshman I'vcr ever coached — no
question about that."
"I'm happy. II would have been
nice lo win, but I'm happy," said a
very satisfied Seras, who was voted
one of five wild card bids to the
Division I National Championships
in Princeton in two weeks for his efforts.
To get into [he final Seras had to
defeat the lop seed, Pat Holmes,
and "he kicked the living hell right
out of him" according to DcMeo as
he crushed him 13-4.

and finished fourth among

Up And Down Year
by Marc Haspcl
The season is finally over for Ihc
Albany S t a l e J . V . D a n e s .
Characteristically, it was one of
highs and lows. And the jayvecs'
final two games reflected the extremes that typified the season.
Both contests resulted in losses
with Albany hitting the lows Saturday, against ihe Albany Business
College Owls, 105-98, and reaching
the highs Thursday night against
Colgate, just barely losing to the
Division-1 school 61-60.
Without the services of Hilly
Evcrell and Wilson Thomas, who
were in Potsdam with the varsity,
the Danes took on ABC in what
amounted to be a very offensive
battle. However, Albany fell behind
early and could never recover.
Paced by the combined 68 point
effort of the backcourt tandem of
Willie Jones and Mike McBride, the
Owls jumped to a 54-39 halftimc
lead.

by Bob Bcllafiore
POTSDAM — Despite a deafening Maxcy Hall capacity
crowd, Mike O a t t o sunk two free throws with four seconds left
in overtime to give the Albany Stale basketball team a thrilling
60-59 victory over Potsdam in a wild-and-woolly SUNYAC

game, and was 0-2 from Ihc line (including an air ball 1:03
earlier), drove to Ihc basket and was fouled by Polsdam guard
Scoll Franko. The basket was disallowed, and Galto went to
the line. Blocking both the crowd noise and Ihc memory of his

Students Prepare March on Capitol
by .Indie Elsenbcrg
and Matthew Haddad
SUNY and CUNY sludents
throughout the state,will prolesi tuition increases proposed in Governor Hugh L. Carey's amended state
budget by marching on the Capitol
in downtown Albany this Tuesday,
March 24.
The prolcsl, which is being
organized by the Student Association of the State University (SASU)
and supported by ihe Student
Union (SU) will be held jusl cighl
days before the April 1 budget
deadline.
"We're playing out Ihe last hand
of the tuition drama now" said
SASU Vice President of Campus
Affairs Janice Fine.
Proposed increases of $150 for
tuition and $150 for dorm rales
would raise the cost of attending
SUNY to over $4,300 for the
'81-'82 academic year.
"SUNY students arc already pay-

ing too much for tuition," Fine
said. "The average cosl of tuition,
fees, room and board for the
1980-81 academic year In public
colleges nationwide was $2,542.
The cosl of attending SUNY for the
same year was $4,000."
SASU President Jim Stern charged that Chancellor Clifton R.
Wharton and the SUNY Board of
Trustees were "selling Ihc students
out" by refusing to seek additional
funds from the slate legislature and
forcing the students to pay the cosl
of running Ihe university.
Fine agreed, saying "Chancellor
Wharton is cutting SUNY's throat,
and it's the sludents who will
bleed."
An estimated 2,500 lo 4,000 people will attend litis rally, which Fine
feels will be "the largest in Iwo
years."
SU Chair Jim Tierncy is also optimistic aboul the outcome of this
rally.
"Al Ihe Fight the Hike rally Iwo

"We're shaping up even heller

"Everyone seems ready for it.
There's no longer the feeling wc

The rally will begin at II a.m. In

Gatto Merits Hero Role
With Game On The Line
POTSDAM — He has only taken a total of 51 shots all season — the lowest
amount of any of Albany's regular players, and he's not known around the
conference as an offensive threat, so il was almost ironic that he would be
the one to go lo Ihc basket with four seconds left, and the Danes behind by
one lo Polsdam in overtime.
The plan that was drawn up was that he would get lite ball, and look lo
pass to teammate Rob Clune, who would lake the last shot.
"I knew if he wasn't open," Mike Gatto said, "it would be me."
II certainly was.
Gatto drove on Potsdam's Scott Franko, who fouled the Dane before he
could get his shot off. Gallo, and most of Ihe Danes, thought.the bucket
should have counted, bill it didn't. Now all Gatto had.to dowas sink two
free throws with the Maxcy Hall crowd of 3,000 screaming forhim to miss.
Gatto weni lo the foul line twice before in the overtime, and came up
empty both limes — his lasi try fell way short for an air ball. Bui now the
game was on Ihe line, so lo speak, and Gatlo knew it.
"I could hear the crowd and I could also hear my stomach shaking,"
Gatlo said. "I tried lo gel Ihe air ball oul of my mind.
"Aflcr I hit the first one, the second one was easy."
The iwo he hit were enough to give Albany a 60-59 win over Polsdam,
and their first Sole possession of lite SUNYAC title.
But it's noi Ihe firsl lime Gallo has won tournaments for the Danes from
the free throw line. In Ihe season's opener against RIT al the Brockporl
Tournament, Gallo hit one of two tries al the end, and Albany won 51-50.
And when Potsdam beat Albany in triple overtime in University Gym
this year, Gatto had a chance to win the game in regulation. But his shot
from the side missed, and Ihe Bears went on to win, 71-70.
"1 was really happy for Gatlo because he could'vc won that firsl game,"
said Albany head basketball coach Dick Sauers. "It's only fining that hebe
the hero."

He 's glad issue is resolved.
by Debbie Judge
A by-law amendment decreasing
the number of studcnl seals on the
University Senate from 33 to 25 was
approved last Wednesday by mail
ballot.
The amendment eliminated eight
of the eleven graduate studcnl
senate seals which, according to the
senate's Committee on Nominations
and Elections Chair Kendall Birr,
have not been filled in recent years.
Eight additional faculty members
will assume those positions.
Prior to this amendment the
senate voted each year to retain the
student positions. However, accor-
ding to Ihe amendmcnl, student
membership can now be terminated
by a simple faculty rcsolulion,
rather than by amendment. Birr
said, though, that this is a "remote
possibility."
The faculty is also granted the
power, by simple resolution, to
reduce the number of student
senators, or re-apportion the mixture of graduate and undergraduate
student senators.
A simple resolution requires only
a 20 percent quorum of the voting
faculty instend .of the current 40
percent quorum now required to
make a by-law amendment, Birr
said.
A second amendment, also passed Wednesday, states that the Executive Committee would be composed solely of members who hold
certain positions in governance, including council chairpersons.
Also passed is a resolution staling
that the senate chair will call the
faculty senators to meet at least
once every semester to discuss and
advise SUNYA President Vincent
O'Leary on matters of faculty concern and to discuss issues that
should be considered by the senate.
The result of the ballot "seems to
indicate that the faculty do not
want sludcnls on Ihc senale but
want a place lo regard faculty concerns," SA President Sue Gold
commented. Gold viewed the adoption of the resolution and the
amendments as a successful and
positive "middle ground."
The status of student senators has
been an issue since last May when
an attempt to extend the student
membership to four years failed.
Students lost their positions in the
senate until O'Leary called an
emergency meeting to extend the
membership to one year.
Last February the Committee on

Board Rates to Increase 11% Percent
SUNYA's University Auxiliary
Services (UAS) will institute an 11
