Albany Netmen Win Notches 100th For Lewis
by Bob Bcllaflorc
The task was simple. All the
Albany men's tennis team had to do
was win once more, and coach Bob
Lewis would have his 100th career
victory. Last week, a better,
prepared Middlebury team delayed
the milestone, but when Union
came to the Dutch Quad courts
Tuesday, nothing was getting in
Albany's way — not the icy-cold
wind and the near-freezing conditions, and certainly not the Union
tennis team.
Carrying out the task ended up
simpler than Lewis thought. The
Danes completely dominated their
foes from Schenectady by taking all
nine matches — most of them with
comforting ease.
Albany won three of the six
singles contests in straight sets, and
won the first set in all but one. And
in the other three pairings, the
netmen had no trouble getting the
third. When it was time to play
doubles, Albany already had the
match clinched but did not let up,
and breezed through to complete

the shutout. .
Third singles player Rob Karen
had the easiest day of all in beating
Tom Lestena by successive 6-2
scores. Number two man Fred
Gaber had a similar lack of difficulty and did away with Dwight Moore
in straight 6-3 sets. Fifth player Andy Diamond squeaked by in the
first set (7-6) to slam the door shut
on Union's Steve Eskanazi in the second, 6-2.
In the contests that went the
distance, Albany always recovered.
Dave Ulrich made the best com-
eback. After losing the opening set
to John Antiles, 4-6, Ulrich
manhandled him, 6-3, 6-1 to win.
Top Albany player Barry Levine
sandwiched a 4-6 loss to Barry
Rosenberg between 6-2 and 6-1
wins. Russ Kasow, playing in the
sixth slot, took the first set over
Dave Katz, 6-2. Katz rebounded for
a 6-1 win in the middle set, but
Kasow efficiently squashed his
hopes with another 6-2 victory in
the final set.

Gaber, Karen and Ulrich, Kasow

wins against a talented Middlebury squad. (Photo: Dave Asher)
and Dave Lerner all vyon their proset matches by 8-4 scores.
Strong winds and cold weather
do not make for top-notch tennis,
but Albany overcame the conditions in classic style. While the
Dane netmen may not have played
to the best of their ability, they certainly performed well enough to
win.
"Whenever you have a cold and
windy day, it's hard to play well,"
Lewis said. "But you have to adjust
to the weather, and 1 think out guys
adjust really well.
"1 think we're just a better team
than Union," he continued, "I
figured we'd beat them, bin 1
wasn't sure if we'd sweep all the
singles."
Last week though, the netmen
had trouble adjusting to four
straight days without practice, and
fell to a talented Middlebury learn,
6-3. Albany's only wins came off
the racquets of Karen in third
singles, Kasow in sixth singles, and
from Ihe combined efforts of
Levine and Gaber in first doubles.
"I'd liked lo have played them
when we were a little sharper," said
Lewis, without taking anything
away from Middlebury. "We 'vere
not match-tough for them."
The neimcn lake their 5-2 record
to Cornell today, but are back
home tomorrow to face conference
rival Binghamton. The Colonials
were second to the Danes in the
SUNYAC's last fall by a solitary
point, and Lewis expects a similarly
close contest tomorrow.
Action starts at noon on the
Dutch Quad courts, and Lewis
hopes to start working on his second hundred.
Skeel Gets Win Number 200; Danes Get Eighth
by Larry Kaliu
The Albany Stale baseball team
went into RP1 last Thursday looking to reach two milestones,
but they had to put one on
hold. However, the Dunes slill
hombed hard-hitting RPI, 16-12.
The win was Albany's sixth
straight, extending their spring
record to 8-1, and also marked Rick
Skeel's 200th career victory as a
couch. Skeel has coached al Albany
lor only a year and a half, collecting
must of his 200 wins and 70 losses al
Heidelberg College in Ohio.
"It's nice lo achieve that kind of
milestone," Skeel said, "but this
win doesn't mean as much to me as
it meant to the kids to be 8-1 and to
beat a good RPI ballclub."
Albany starting pitcher Mike
Esposito went into the game looking for a milestone of his own, but
he came up short. The Dane ace
tied the Albany record for most
wins in a season when he picked up
his seventh against Binghamton last
week (he was 5-2 in the fall), but
couldn't survive the fifth inning
against RPI after being shellacked
for eleven runs by the Engineers.
"The umps were not giving Mike
much on the corners," Skeel noted.'
"His curveball has to be on the corners to be effective."
Ron Massaroni picked up the win
with a very good relief stint for his
third victory of the spring season,
tops on the team, against one loss,
Massaroni entered the game with
Albany down, 11-10, but held Ihe
RPI offense lo one run, while Ihe
torrid Dane bailers exploded for six
more of their own.
Albany rapped 16 hits off RPI's
iwo lop hurlers. Mall Anlalek led
ihe Albany allack, reaching base all
six times he was al bai with three
hits and iwo walks, as well as being
hit by a pilch. Bruce Rowlands contributed four hits and Bob Arcario
and Jim Lynch also slood oul.
"Everybody jtisl hit the heck out
of the ball," said Skeel, and he also
noied that the Danes took control
when they knocked RPI's ace out
of the box in the fifth and continued lo pound the bullpen.
"It was like pouring kerosene on
a fire," he said. "We just went
crazy after that."
Albany's offensive attack was
never stronger, bul the defense left
something lo be desired, allowing
eight unearned runs to let Ihe
Engineers stay in the game. Crucial
errors like misjudged fly balls were
committed on routine plays that
should have gotten the Danes out of
big innings.
Albany meets Colgate tomorrow
afternoon at home in a
doubleheader. The first game
begins at 1:00.
"We know we're playing good
baseball," said Skeel, "and we're
going to go out and keep knocking
heads together."
ROTC to Locate at SUNYA
Several Campus Groups Protest
by Susan Milligan
An ROTC "extension center
agreement" has been approved by
President Vincent O'Lcary to allow
SUNYA students enrolled in the
program lo attend ROTC classes at
SUNYA, according lo Vice President of University Affairs Lewis
Welch.
"What it involves is thai courses
presently given at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute (RPI) - for
which SUNYA students had to
travel 10 RPI - will now be offered
on campus," he said.
Welch said that the proposal was
reviewed and approved by the
Educational Policy Council (EPC)
of the University Senate, the executive board of the University
Senate, and ultimately O'Lcary.
The Scnale as a whole did not vole
on ihe plan.
"We're one of the councils thai
approved it," said EPC Chair Al
Cali, "and we recommended that
the President approve it...bul it
originated with the students."
Several campus groups are
disturbed by the agreement as well
as the manner al which il was arrived.
"There was no debate or discussion," said Peace Project steering
committee member Dave Dragcr.
"They didn't want anyone to know
aboul It."
Drager said the Peace Project has
taken a stand against ROTC on
campus because "il is nol
academic."
"This is not a vocational or
military school," he continued. "It
is a liberal arts and sciences school.
Teaching people how to kill is Ihe
antithesis of the humanities."
Drager said also he thinks Ihe
ROTC program competes directly
with education.
"Financial aid and student loans
arc being cut back tremendously
and the military budget is being increased," he explained. "While
education is cheap, people will go to
school. Bul (the cuts) are forcing
students inlo ROTC.
"This campus doesn't have lo offer courses that aren't academic,"
he continued. "The school is failing
in ils mission lo offer low-cost,
quality education."
Cali stressed thai "there is a difference between having an extension center agreement and voting
ROTC back as a university activity."
Drager argued thai "Iwo years
ago, negotiations were made so that
SUNYA students could take pari in
Ihe ROTC program with Ihe condition thai those courses nol be
taught on this campus.
"Two years from now, we could
easily have Ihe program reinstated
completely," he said.

He said an ROTC "extension center agreement" was approved.

Election Redistributing
Divides Student Ward
by Ken Gordon
AcwdlnTto Election Commissioner Mickey Tarplnian, 1329 SUNYA students turned out lo vote in
!ast week's ll.ree-day SA elections. Dave Pologe won the SA presidency virtually unopposed, said Tarpinion: his only competition came from a write-in candidate, Mike Van Norstrand, who received 50
voles None of the vice-presidential candidates obtained over 50 percent of the voles, lurplnian added.
Consequently, a run-off election will be held today, Wednesday and Thursday between Ihe two top contenders - Woody Popper, who received 631 voles, and April (.ray, who received 373 voles. Students
may vole for cither candidate In the same polling area they used for the regular elections. Tarplnian a so
said that the three referenda - mandatory sludenl activity fees, funding for NYIMIH., and funding for

Plans to rcdislricl Albany's
voting zones were released last week
by Albany Dircelor ol' Human
Resources John McEneny.
Among the changes proposed by
McEneny is ihe splilling of heavily
sludenl populated Wurd 12 into
three new wards.
Ward 12 is bordered by Lake,
Main, Bradford, and Madison.
The three new wards lo be
created are Ward ?, bounded by
Partridge and Western anil continuing to the north and east; Ward 10,
bounded by Partridge, Weslcrn,

Area Groups Stage Washington Park Rally
by Julienne Boslic
"We must a build a union that
will light lot the human rights of
(all)," said speaker Leon Van Dyke
at a rally in Washington Park Sunday, where approximately 75 people
gathered 10 express their concern
over such issues as U.S. military aid
to El Salvador, draft registration
and nuclear power.
The rally was sponsored by
several
groups,
including
Americans Againsl Nuclear Will,
Knolls Action Project, Ihe Troy
Peace Coalition and the Community I'm Common Sense. Many of ihe
groups voiced concern ovel government defense funding. Although
the Reagan administration claims to
be making substantial budget cms,
more funding is actually being
maneuvered to defense, suid John
Ragusa of Ihe Knolls Action Projects, an anti-arms race organization.
"We pay for the arms race with

", . . and have used atomic
weaponry twice on human populations."
Anti-nuclear demonstrators protested ihe U.S. Navy's plan lo updale the sea-leg of ihe U.S. strategic
nuclear triad, Ihe submarinelaunched ballistic missiles. The submarines arc called Tridents and its
crews are trained al Knolls Atomic
Power labs In nearby West Milnm.
According lo Ragusa, the Navy
wants 30 Tridents by l'J92 al a cosl
of $1.8 billion each. Each one will
be capable of destroying 336 cities
witli a blast five limes lhal which liil
Hiroshima. People held placards
denouncing ihe "Trident Monster"
and held a symbolic and visual
representation of the Trident submarine, a 560 fool rope with 336
pennants representing the Trident
nuclear war heads.
Representatives of the Military
Tax Resistance Group said lhal they
did not pay their taxes litis year
because they arc "refusing (o pay
for win." Instead, Ihey donated
their las money to local service
organizations.
One rally organizer, Franclc

Off Campus Association (OCA)
Dircelor Mark Duntca said he
believes Ibc iiucnlion of this
redisricting is to spilt student v o l e s .
McEncny's proposal follows a recent courl decision giving Albany
students the right lo vote in their
college communities.
McEneny, however, denies
Dunlca's allegations. "The ward
lines were primarily determined by
traditional neighborhoods," said
McEneny.
"Students are historically split inlo several wards because of Ihe
location of the old SUNY campus
and Ihe roule of Ihe SUNY bus
line," explained McEneny.
One reason cited by McEneny for
the redistricting is lhal Albany has
seen a population reduction of
14,000.
"The redislricting is necessary to
maintain the one man-one vote concept outlined by the Supreme
Court," said McEneny.
McEneny added that Ihe
redistricting would have been
neccssury even if there wasn't a
population loss because of the
tremendous shift in population.
According to McEneny, many
people have moved out of the
Southend district of Albany.
This has resulted in the merging
of three wards into a new ward, pitting the only Iwo black aldermen in
Ihe city against each other in the
next election.
Dunlea questioned the methods
used in determining the new wards,
and said lhal Ihere is some controversy as to the determination of
Ihe newly created Ward 14.
The estimated number of voters
in this area is 7,200, said Dunlea.
He claimed, however, that the actual number of volers on the SUNY
uptown campus was undercounled.
McEneny stated thai the number
of voters on the uptown campus
was counted al 3,400 by the last
census.
McEneny is also in charge of conducting the census for Albany.

Agnew Ordered to Pay
ANNAPOLIS, Maryland (AP) Former Vice President
Spiro T. Agnew was ordered today to pay the state of
Maryland $248,735, a sum the judge said represented
money Agnew allegedly accepted as kickbacks while
governor of Maryland. The amount that Judge Bruce C.
Williams ordered Agnew to pay includes $147,500 in
kickbacks, plus $101,235 in interest. Williams ruled that
the evidence clearly showed Agnew had violated his
public trust by accepting kickbacks and that he had an
obligation to repay the people of Maryland for violating
their trust. The state had tried to subpoena Agnew as a
witness, but Williams ruled he did not have to testify in
the civil suit filed by three taxpayers. A federal investigation of the alleged kickback scheme resulted in Agnew's
no-contest pica to a charge of income tax evasion and his
resignation as vice president on October II, 1973. He
paid about $160,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest
to the state and federal governments in 1974, according
to his lawyer, Thomas R. Harrison. The state has never
tried to prosecute Agnew, but Harrison said criminal
charges still could be filed. Agnew's former lawyer,
George White, Jr., testified Friday that he confronted the
former vice president in February, 1973, with allegations
that Agnew had shared in kickbacks that had been
solicited from consulting engineers. During that California meeting, Agnew admitted to receiving kickbacks,
White testified.
Killer Still Unknown
BUFFALO, New York (AP) Photographs and ballistics
tests have failed so far to establish a link between a series
of slayings of black males in the Buffalo area and a while
soldier at Fort Benning, Oa., Ihe Buffalo Evening News
said Monday. The newspaper said witnesses to the fatal
shootings of four black males here last September and a
black man who survived a knife attack failed to pick the
soldier's picture out of a lineup of photos on Sunday.
The Evening News also quoted sources as saying
preliminary tests failed to match the bullets from the
September slayings with bullets and bullet casings seized
at the soldier's Buffalo home and the family's hunting
camp 40 miles southwest of Buffalo. Investigators
reportedly were waiting for results of tests on clothing
and knives confiscated at the soldier's Buffalo home last
week. The News said a preliminary report had shown the
stains on a military-type jacket owned by the soldier to
be human blood. Police in Buffalo and New York City
have been interested in the soldier, identified by some of
the news media as Joseph G. Christopher, 25, after he
reportedly bragged to nurses at a Fort Benning hospital
that he had slain blacks in Buffalo and New York.
Bomb Exploded in Belfast
BFLFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) A bomb exploded
Monday in a booby-trapped truck in West Belfast, killing
one policeman and wounding three others, after police
arrested 20 supporters of jailed hunger striker Bobby
Sands. The 27-ycar-old Sands, a convicted Irish
Republican Army guerrilla, was reported close to death
on the 58th day of his fast at Northern Ireland's Maze
prison. The bomb was planted in a delivery truck hijacked earlier in central Belfast and driven into Ihe
predominantly Roman Catholic Andcrsonslown district.
Spokesman Gerry Carson at Belfast's main hospital, the
Royal Victoria, said the slain officer was dead on arrival.
Two of the injured policemen were reported in critical
condition. The bomb exploded as the officers tried to
move the truck, police said. There was no immediate
claim of responsibility for the act. The blast came after
police arrested 20 prominent supporters of Sands early
today, following a day of rioting in Belfast and clashes
with police in London.
Body Found Near Atlanta
ATLANTA (AP) Members of the special police task
force Investigating the slayings of 25 young blacks were
called in Monday after a body was discovered in the
Chattahoochee River northwest of Atlanta, authorities
said. Cobb County police spokeswoman Lisa Crowder
said homicide detectives "think it's a black male." She
said the body was discovered by two people about 4:30
p.m. in the river, which forms the boundary between
Atlanta's Fulton County and suburban Cobb County to
the northwest. She said authorities had not determined if
the body was that of an adult or a child. Four of the 25
victims in the string of slayings that began in July 1979
have been found in the Chattahoochee River, Three of
them were discovered in the river In the past month in
Fulton County, south of where Monday's discovery was
made. Two other victims in the scries of killings have
been found In "the South River in DcKalb County, and
one victim was discovered on the banks of the South
River. Earlier Monday, mourners buried the 25th victim
while police debated whether the search for a man missing since last week should be assigned to the task force
for Investigation. Michael Cameron "Mickey" Mcintosh,
at 23 the oldest of the victims whose deaths date from
July 1979, was buried at Kennedy Memorial Garden,
near the graves of seven earlier victims. Medical
authorities ruled that his death, like those of more than a
dozen other victims, was probably caused by asphyxiation. Only three of the murder cases involve adults. All
three victims were small In stature and two of them - Eddie Duncan and Larry Rogers - were described as mentally retarded. Police were debating whether the case of a
missing 21-year-old man should be turned over to the
task force, which also is Investigating one other disappearance - that of 10-year-old Darron Glass, missing
since last September. Police spokeswoman Beverly Harvard said Monday that the disappearance of Jimmy Ray
Payne is still being handled by the missing persons unit,
which is attempting to check out reports that the man
has been seen. Public Safety Commissioner Lcc Brown
reviewed the case Sunday and decided not to turn It over
to the task force because the missing persons unit still
had leads to investigate, Ms. Harvard said.
Pres. Optimistic on Budget
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) President Reagan's
economic plan regained momentum In Congress today as
House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, D-Mass., all but conceded the president's spCnding-cut package would pass
the Democratic-controlled House. At the same time,
Reagan's plan appeared to be back on the track in the
senate as well. The chairman of the Senate Budget Committee predicted today his panel will meet Tuesday and
approve a revised budget blueprint to accommodate
President Reagan's program of lax and spending cuts.
O'Neill told reporters: "I've been in politics an awful
long time and I know when you fight and when you
don't fight." The speaker said a headcount of Democrats
— a day before Reagan was to address a joint HouseSenate session — showed numerous defections to the
president's side. The House will debate Ihe budget bill
later in Ihe week. He credited Reagan's enormous
popularity in the aftermath of the attempt on his life for
building support for his programs. This momentum,
O'Neill said, would be difficult to stop. Congress
members "go with the will of the people and the will of
the people today Is to go with the president." However,
he accused the president of "not knowing what's in his
own program," asserting that the budget could seriously
ieopardize the federal program to inoculate youngsters
against polio, smallpox and measles.
Second Mission Planned
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma (AP) The space shuttle
Columbia, riding atop a jumbo jetliner, landed Monday
at Tinker Air Force Base for an overnight refueling stop
before flying on to Florida, where its journey as the first
reusable space craft began. Once back at the Kennedy
Space Center at Cape Canaveral, where.it was launched
on its maiden space flight April 12, the spacecraft will be
re-outfitted for the second of perhaps 100 missions.
NASA says the next Columbia mission may takeplace
within six months. The 534,000-pound shuttle-Boeing 747
combination landed smoothly at 3:53 p.m. CDT in a
strong headwind. It had taken off from Edwards Air
Force Base in California some three and one half hours
earlier. The takeoff had been delayed some three hours
while technicians installed a strut to secure a 17-plecc
aluminum tail cone to the shuttle. The white cone lits
over the shuttle's rocket engines and reduces drag. 1 he
747 jetliner and the shuttle arrived at Tinker accompanied by two blue and white NASA T-38 chase planes
One of them, flown by Donald K. "Deke" Slaylon, shut,
tic test flight program manager, will accompany the ship
on its second three and one half hour night home to
Florida. Oklahoma Gov. George Nigh was among about
100 people who came to watch as ihe 747 and ils cargo
drilled in to a landing that was nearly as smooth as the
one the shuttle made by itself when it returned to Ihe
California desert after its 36-orbit mission.
Group Charges Fraud
ALBANY, New York (AP) Continuing ils drive for
public campaign financing, a public-interest lobbying
group charged Monday that 146 state legislators have SI
million left in ihcir campaign war chests from last year's
elections. "There is absolutely no restriction on how they
can use that money," said Dcrick Berlage, dircclor ol the
state chapter of Common Cause. "They can divert those
funds for personal use. They could build a swimming
pool with the money if they wanted to." Berlage admitted that Common Cause had no evidence of any
legislator building a swimming pool with leftover campaign dollars. But he said that state Assembly Minoriiy
Leader James Emery, R-Livingston, had used "about
$300" of his surplus to "send but Christmas cards."
Clarence Bassett, a spokesman for Emery, said the
minoriiy leader had used the campaign money to send
out "about a thousand cards" to "contributors, campaign workers and the press. These were professional,
not personal contacts," Bassett said. He said he fell the
expenditure was a proper campaign expense, adding that
"politicians are campaigning 12 months of the year."

"I appreciate this honor," said
Craig Sipc of the Teacher Education Department as he accepted the

which students bestow upon faculty."
Sipe, the recipient of this year's

advising, thanked the members of
the awards selection committee as
he walked off the stage al the Second Annual Teaching and Advising Awards Banquet this pasl Sunday. Committee Chair Maria Abcte
then announced the winner of the
award for excellence in teaching. A
round of applause burst out as T.J.
Larkin of the Rhetoric and Communication (RCO) Department
walked up to receive his certificate,
"Heavens," exclaimed Larkin,
who then went on to say he fell this
award was particularly meaningful
for him, as this is his first job and
since he is younger than most of his
colleagues in the RCO Department.
He recalled his pre-teaching days in
graduate school when he wondered
whether he was "going to be any

from the students," he said.

Committee Established to
Improve Bus Service
by Susan Milliaan
The University Senate has approved ihe Implementation of the
Transportation Advisory Committee, according lo the bill's Initiator
Gary Silverman.
The standing committee will meet directly with Plain Department
Dircclor Dennis Slovens in an effort to establish effective SUNYA bus
service, Silverman said.
Committee members will be selected in May so that they may work
on Ihe Fall '81 bus schedule with Stevens during the summer.
Although Central Council has a similar committee, Silverman
believes thai the existing group "has not been an effective liaison between (Stevens) and the students."
He noted that the Central Council committee is established at the
beginning of the semester and, therefore, it "usually lakes some time
for the committee lo go into effect." He'added thai while Central
Council lias student support, the University Senate is hacked by the
entire university.
"Mainly we arc Hying lo develop rapporl with (Stevens) and
establish the committee as the sole representative . . . instead of ten
different groups" negotiaiing with Stevens, Silverman said.
The committee will probably consist of one facult) sennlor, one student senator, and three oilier Interested sutdenls, one of whom is n
resident of Alumni Quad, he added.
Stevens said lie thinks the newly established commillee "will build
on Ihe committee we hud this year.
"The more input, the belter," lie said.
Senate University Community Council Chair Rich Tasior said ihe
council is accepting applications for membership on the new committee. Applicants should submit a idler explaining [licit interest and experience in transportation matters lo Ihe council. Students who use the
bus service or live on Alumni Quad are especially encouraged to apply,

to something as positive as the
awards banquet. "Students have
converted dissatisfaction (with advising) certainly in 1978, into a nice
event in 1980 and now in 1981," she
said.
Gold explained the impetus for
this evcnl. "Aboul four years ago,
SA began to look more closely into
academia and problems students
would like to address with it," she
said. "A Central Council Ad Hoc
committee was formed to look into
this, and they found that teaching
and advising was an area in which
people would like lo sec more
students Involved."
At last year's banquet, the first to
be held, John Lcvato of the
Business School was honored for
excellence in advising and Helen
Horowitz of the Economics Department was awarded for excellence in
teaching.
The five member selection commillee, comprised of student
volunteers, had begun seeking this
year's award candidates among Ihe
SUNYA faculty in January. According lo Maria Abcte, Ihe committee
studied department evaluations,
and recommendations from
students and faculty, as well as Informal questioning of students and
reports received by word of month.
They also reviewed office hours
iindidales kepi, their ac-
cessibility and empathy towards
students, and their success in
stimulating students in their fields.
The committee, Abete said,
originally selected 40 candidates
and later narrowed it down to nine
finalists before selecting one professor to be honored for teaching
and one for advising.
Larkin and Sipe are to have their
names engraved on a plaque under
the names of last year's recipients,
said election committee member
Mark Hirsch. The plaque, which is
presently in Ihe SA office, will be
hung in a prominent area in the
SUNYA Library, said Hirsch.
Also, the nine finalists received
certificates of recognition at Sunday's banquet. Besides Larkin, the
Jfinalistsin the field of leaching were
Jeffrey Herman of the English
Department, Adriennc Gouraige of
French, Donald Rceb of Economics
and Joseph Shcehan of Business.
Along with Sipe, the finalists in the
area of advising were Helen
Horowitz of the Economies Department, John Lcvato of Business and
Joseph Zimmerman of Political
Science.
Al the end of the evening, Gold
and Central Council Chair Peter
Wcinstock presented a special
award lo Dean of Student Affairs
Neil Brown, "In special recognition
of outstanding achievement In nd-
vanclng the quality of life on this
campus."
"This award is special to me,"
Gold explained as she presented
Brown with a wood plaque,"
because Dean Brown was once an
SA President, And not just an SA
President — the SA President that
bought Camp Dippikill!"
Brown laughed as he accepted the
award. "If only I'd bought Dippikill for myself!" he jokingly said.
He explained that he had always
tried lo he a good alumnus and lo
he responsible to student needs.
The time lie has spent working at
SUNYA, he said, have been "30 of
Ihe happiest years of my life which
are, after all, mosl of them."
N.Y. State Sued by NYPIRG

The New York Public Interest
Research Group, Inc. (NYPIRG)

Supreme Court lo prevent any further expenditures of taxpayer
money until a slate budget is passed.
NYPIRG Executive Director
Donald K. Ross said the slate's arrangement with Key Hank and Ihe
facl thai state employees receive

Ross said thai this scrip is an
agreement between the slate and ihe
hank that extends credit to the state
and promised payment 10 the hank.
According lo Ross, the slate constitution expressly forbids the extension of credit in Article Seven,
section 8.
"The stale is also in violation of
Article Seven, section 7 which forbids payment of stale money
without a legal appropriation,"
said Ross.
Hugh Carey, Slate Comptroller Edward Regan, and Commissioner ol

Financial Aid Application
Processing Starts Again
WASHINGTON D.C. (CPS) In
what some called a compromise and
others an approval of an "illegal
act," ihe critical logjam of some
federal financial aid applications
, has been broken.
In late March, U.S. Department
of Education Secretary Tcrrel Bell
announced he was hailing the processing of aid applications for 45
days, or until Congress agreed to
ihe Reagan Administration's plans
to cut student aid.
Tlic hah came al the time most
financial aid packages are normally
assembled for the next academicyear. Students who would usually
discover if they had enough money
i' May or June wouldn't find out
.. iil August of early fall.
The delay in nwarding aid, many
administrators warned, threatened
to throw every filing from Fall 1981
enrollment to academic year
budgets Into chaos.
Now the House Subcommittee on
Poslsecondary Education, though
as yet unwilling lo agree to all the
cuts, has agreed to stiffen eligibility
requirements for Pell Grunts
(formerly called Basic Educational
Opportunity Grams). In response,
the Education Department has
agreed to start once again processing Pell Grant application.
Removal of Fence Leads to Feud
by Dave Lunlz
The sudden removal of a fence
from the women's soflball field has
raised an argument between the
women's softball team and the
Physical Plain Department, according to soflball coach Leona
Rhenish.
The fence, which lias been built
every Softball season since 1974,
was erected to enclose the Softball
field from ihe activities of adjacent
fields.
"While ihe fence was still up, the
games ran much more smoothly,"
Rhenish explained. "We didn't
have to worry about dogs running
on Ihe field or balls constantly rolling off the playing area.
"The posts were installed at ihe
end of March," Rhenish said, "but
some rainy and windy weather
followed, and ihe niainicnencc men
were nol working. Shortly after

He received Ihe leaching award.
The Reagan administration
wanted to make students from
families thai earn more than
$25,000 per year or that don't contribute much loward their
children's education ineligible for
Pell Granls.
The House subcommittee, while
failing to fix a strict income ci toff,
did agree in principle to lower the
amount a family can earn and increase the amount it must contribute in order to qualify for Pell
Granls.
The Congressional Budget Office
estimates Ihe move will disqualify
100,000-154,000 college students
from the Pell Grants program.
The subcommittee, however,
refused to lower the maximum
grant from $1750 to $1200, as the
administration had requested.
The subcommittee went as far as
it did said Rep. William Ford
(D-Mi), because il had "a cocked

delay in processing the 1.5 million

would "wreak havoc."

Many of us treal our bodies like
our cars. When they break down,
we fix them. These automotive
breakdowns would be fewer and
farther in between with proper
maintenance. The same-fact holds
true for the body, and one of the
best modes of such care is proper
exercise.
z
HEAITII COIUMN
The body is a functional
organism. Muscles and joints were
designed to move and our cardiorespiratory system was designed
to function at certain levels.
Technological advancements in our
society have reduced the responsibility of our bodies in this capacity. As a result, the efficiency of our
physical parameters such as
strength, flexibility and cardiorespiratory fitness to maintain the
quality of life or to meet emergency
situations has been severely affected. Continued inactivity also
makes the body susceptible to certain conditions which are direct
causes or major contributing factors to illness. Obesity and its relationship to bean disease is a prime
example.
Strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular efficiency, which are
the three major
physical
parameters, will all increase with a
well designed and implemented exercise program. Strength is the
muscles' ability to contract cither
once or several times against a
resistance. This resistance can take
the form of a fixed weight, another
object (e.g. a racquetball or tennis
ball), another individual (e.g. eontact sports like football), or your
own body weight (e.g. gymnastics).
Out of all the factors of human
performance, strength is the only
one that docs any actual work and,
unfortunately, is probably the least
understood and the most feared by
a large percentage of individuals in
relation lo their sport performance.
An individualized program of progressive resistance that involves all
major muscle groups of the body
can improve not only the muscles'
basic ability to contract, but can increase flexibility, speed, power, and
cardiovascular efficiency as well.
Recent studies at the U.S.
Military Academy have shown conclusively that high intensity strength
training done properly will result in
lower heart rates at various exercise
workload levels, ability to sustain
workloads longer, and a lower twomile run time for subjects tested.
These results were in addition to
basic improvements in strength as a
result of the weight training.
Flexibility .is an important
parameter in Alation lo health and
fitness. Our muscles and joints were
designed to move through a specific
range, and lack of this movement
due lo life style (i.e. silling at a desk
for extended periods, wearing high-

heels) shorten specific muscles and
decreases their flexibility. As a
result, the joint involved becomes
less functional in a performance
situation, and more susceptablc to
injury. Muscle groups on the
posterior portion of the lower body
(hamstrings and gaslrochimius) arc
extremely susceptablc to the condition defined above and should be
concentrated on in most stretching
programs.
All stretching should be slow and
steady and held at a maximum
point for a total of 15 to 20 seconds.
A stretching routine should work in
the major muscles that will be involved in a specific activity in addition to the two groups mentioned
previously.
Flexibility is a characteristic that
can be vastly improved with very little effort. Programs designed lo increase flexibility can serve as a
w a r m - u p / d o w n for a more
strenuous activity, or can be a
workout in itself. Proper .strength
training can serve lo increase flexibility to a great degree because the
muscle stretches with increases of
weight. Decreasing Ihc participants'
susceptabilily to injury, however, is
the most positive aspect of flexibility training.
The ability of (he body lo
transpurl oxygen lo the working
muscles and the manner in which
those muscles utilize that oxygen is
defined as cardio-vascular efficiency, ll is medically known thai after
a program of exercise Ihc resting
heart rate is lower; therefore, it has
to beat less lo pump out the same
amount of blood, From this rclationship, although it is not as simple
as slated, comes the theory that if
the system has to work at a lower
level of intensity, it will last longer
and be better able to handle
stressful situations whether they be
self-imposed or of emergency
nature.
As the rate of cardiovascular
disease increases (recent reports indicate that cardiovascular disease
related deaths number one in every
three for the American public at the
rate of one per minute), concern
regarding its relationship to our
sedentary lifestyle is evident
through numerous longitudinal
studies. Although conclusive
evidence has not yet been found
proving that exercise will decrease
an individual's susceptabilily to
heart-attack, research seems to indicate that exercise will decrease
several risk-factors (e.g. obesity,
high blood pressure, cholcst c r o l / t r i g l i c e r i d c levels and
stress).
Any activily thai increases your
heart beat lo a training level (60-90
percent of your maximum heart
rate) and is sustained for a prolonged period of lime (15 minutes or
grcaler) will serve lo increase cardiovascular efficiency. Jogging,
cycling, swimming, aerobic dancing, roller skating, skiing, are all examples of this type of training. The
intensity as measured by the heart
rale, the duration of lime that this
rale is sustained and (lie frequency
of Ihc workouts (per week) arc key
variables in designing an effective
program.
Physical activily of almost any
nature is considered good preventive medicine. Along with increases
in physical factors, the participants
will also benefit from many side-

Just pretend that your economics

Many students are, unfortunately, reluctant to embark on a fitness

with anything physical is (he letter

fitness is not an easily obtainable
commodity, it docs not have to be
painful to the point that it scares the
participants away. For the most
part, any activity that increases the
heart rate, such as jogging, cycling,
raquctball and swimming, is good
for cardio-vascular efficiency. Simple stretching exercises will increase
flexibility, and there arc several
slate of the art machines that will
produce strength increases.
We arc all creatures of habit.
These four years of your life are important in regard to habit setting
patterns. Now is the time to "make
time" for exercise. Don't use
classes and studying as an excuse,
because it is a poor one. Take your
academic schedule and your study
schedule, block out eating and
sleeping periods, and I'm sure you
would find al least one or two hours
to devote to exercise.
As a result, you will definitely

Doug Wolf
The album Is a two record set recorded
live at Radio City Music Hall In New York City and The Warfield Theater in San Francisco. The album is a definitive description of
the "Acoustic Dead."
When I, first heard the album I didn't
believe it was a live recording. The music is
as crisp and as perfect as anything done by
The Dead In the studio, and probably a little
bit better as The Dead Is a better "live" band
than a "studio" one.
I can't say there are any really outstanding
songs on the album, but all of them are solid.,
A true Dead Head may disagree, but they're
kind of biased.
Reckoning Is an album better suited to
those people who know Just a little Dead and
would like Just one album lo get lo know
them better.

The plot centers around a clown who
loses his Job when the circus he works for is
shut down (and with clowns like this one It's
no wonder). The clowp, played by none
other than Jerry Lewis, must then try and
find work in the "real" world. The rest of the
movie grlpplngly chronicles his most unsuccessful attempts at keeping a job (though he
gets them with remarkable ease). This complex storyline would no doubt be dull as a

Bennett provides a bit of finals week inspiration, as he juggles the twin tasks of
directing both a revival of Godspell, and the
world premiere of The First Barefoot
Dancer, SUNYA professor Albert Weiner's
recreation of two days in the life of modern
dance pioneer Isadora Duncan. Godspell
opens tonight al the PAC. and Dancer
previews May 5 before a five week run at
New York's Wonderhorse Theatre.
The 44-year-old professional director
from New York City has directed over 40
productions during his career. Bennett has
won "Best Director" awards for the Passion
of Dracula, which ran In New York for 22
months; Steambath at the George Street
Playhouse in New Jersey; and The Boys in
the Band, which won five awards In a New
York State Festival competition.
Besides directing such musicals as New
Girl In Town, You're a Good Man Charlie
Brown, and Three Penny Opera, he has
acted and sung In over 20 musicals. His last
stage singing was two and a half years ago in
the New York City produtlon of Cowboy
Jack Street by Joan Tewksbury, who also
wrote Nashville.
Bennett has directed some well-known
performers — Klrn Huntger, Celeste Holm,
and Jose Greco among them.
One might wonder what could lure a successful director away from the city to work
with students In Albany.
But the transition is not so unlikely for
Bennett, who claims Albany as his
hometown. He grew up here, went to local
schools, and received his B.A. and M.A.
right here at SUNY Albany. He directed his
first play. The Boyfriend, at SUNYA as an
undergraduate.
Bennett opted to be Interviewed over a
cup of coffee in the Campus Center. His
easy-going manner was reflected In his
casual dress of plain flannel shirt and Jeans.
He is a soft-spoken man. with piercing bluegreen eyes and wavy brown hair peppered
with gray. As he spoke, he smiled often with
a boyish grin.
Bennett traced the zig-zagged path of his
theater career, and talked about Godspell
and his residency on campus.
And return he did. In 1975 Bennett left
psychology behind to go back to New York.
Bennett said he was very fortunate to get
work in the theater almost Immediately.
"I've been making up for a delayed start,"
he said, and has been working fairly consistently ever since.
Bennett said he received offers for both
acting and directing, but because of conflicts
in time commitments, he eventually had to
choose one or the other, He decided to concentrate on directing, but added, "I miss acting and would like to do it from time to time.
1 think it's good for me as a director."
"My approach is to give

hope they learn from doing Godspell is the selfdiscipline to use this

After graduating from SUNY In 1959.
Bennett went to New York to pursue acting
and directing, but had to take a job teaching
English to earn a living. His school contract
kept him from taking full-time work In Ihe
theater. Still, he managed to get his equity
card doing musicals in the summer and
showcases in the evening.
"After I taught for three of four years, it felt
like a dead end to me," Bennett said.
Although his teaching job paid the bills, it
was difficult to look for acling and directing
jobs at the same time.
So he decided to return to SUNY for a
masters degree In psychology in 1967. He
worked as a psychologist at SUNY-Fredonia
until 1974. "It was a good career — 1 really
enjoyed it," he said. 'I wanted lo get away
from the theater for a while and build up a
nest egg. But 1 knew I'd go back to it."
Word of his work in New* York reached
Dr. Albert Asermely. Chairman of SUNYA's
Theater Department. Bennett said he was invited here a year ago to direct Endgame in
Spring 1980. He also taught a combined
acting-directing workshop. Last semester he
was on campus to conduct a graduate
course in directing.
Godspell, a musical adaptation of the
Gospel At cording to St. Matthew, marks an
innovation at SUNYA. It will be the first lime
a major musical had been produced here,
according to Bennett.
Why was Godspell chosen as SUNYA's
first musical?
Bennett explained lhat they needed
something that would work here. "The
choice of Godspell was based on Ihe kind of
talenl available. We couldn't do a big splashy
musical with a lot of dancing, because we
weren't sure we had dancers. Besides," he
said, "Godspell has always been very
popular with students."
Bennett said that he Is "delighted with the
casting" that features twelve students.
"Godspell was a good choice," he said.
Bennett is using an original concept to
stage the musical as a circus. He said it Is
given in the script that the actors appear as
clowns, but the original set was Intended as a
vague urban area. "I thought that was very
boring," he said.
The main stage In the Performing Arts
Center will become an actual circus ring, '
thirty six feet In diameter, for this production.
Bleachers will be on stage around the ring for
some of the audience seating, to simulate a
real circus atmosphere. Juggling, tumbling,
and acrobatics will add to the lively numbers
that deal with some of the teachings of
Jesus.
Bennett talked aboul the difference between directing students and directing professionals.
He said that beyond the obvious level of
skills, students are more likely to expect to be
led. Wllh professionals, it is a cooperative
process, with a great amount of input from
the actors. Since the first rehearsals of
Godspell he has encouraged avid participation from the students.
"My approach is lo give students a lot of
artistic freedom for contributions. One thing 1
hope Ihey learn from doing Godspell Is the
self-discipline to use this freedom constructively."
After Godspell is finished, Bennett plans
to take The First Barefoot Dancer to New
York following Its run here. Then he'U head
for the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival,
where he wlH direct As You Like It, and two
other shows this summer.
Bennett's schedule doesn't leave him
much time for relaxation these days. "I
would love two weeks In Aruba right now —
or even Troy," he chuckled.

You see, strange as It seems to think of it.
Star Wars is almost four years old, and someone al 20th Century Fox must have
woken up to ihe (acl that Ihe country Is
crawling with a whole new generation of kids
who have grown up literally with Star Wars
toys and dolls, bedspreads, wallpaper,
underwear, drinking glasses, lunchboxes,
comic books and wristwatches, and yet
haven'l seen the movie thai started it all.
Last Monday afternoon my kid brother
and I went lo see .1 mallnee ol Star Wars,
and noted that aside from bored-looking
parents, we appeared lo be aboul Ihe only
people In the audience over Ihe age of
twelve. Il seemed odd. remembering Saturday nights during the summer of '77 when
college crowds lined up around Ihe block.
Star Wars wasn't Ihe merchandising
phenomenon il is now. For my brother and
I, this was a nostalgia trip. Very possibly we
were ihe only people in Ihe room who
weren't seeing whal is now the highestgrossing film (four-hundred million dollars
worldwide) ever for the first lime.
20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm would
probably rather I not call It Slar Wars
anymore, though. Technically, Star Wars is
a title encompassing a projected group of
films lo be packaged much like the old movie
serials producer George Lucas Is so fond of.
The most popular film in the world is really
tilled Episode (V: A New Hope. The public
relations people want us to think that this
was always Lucas's plan. In any event, prints
of Star Wars now start in much Ihe way that
Ihe immensely successful sequel Episode V:
.The Empire Strikes Back does, wllh an
episode number placing us somewhere in
the middle of a series. This fall, production is
slated to begin on Episode VI: The Jedi's
Revenge.
Personally, though, 1 don't really care
what they call them, or whether the present
marketing strategy is part of a master plan
known for years, as long as they keep making them.
Star Wars wasn'l made for the science fiction fanatics who have claimed il as their domain. Star Wars is an exercise in pure
cinema, made by an excellent young filmmaker who is pari of the new generation of
directors and writers who have grown up
with the movies in a way thai earlier generations didn't. They grew into a tradition completely free of the stage — free even of the
novel. They grew up on film, Every frame of
Slar Wars reflects the exuberance of the
clneaste. and the plot and treatment are full
of Hollywood's most revered traditions.
When it opened, I was a little surprised
lhat it went over so well, It seemed an almost
arty, self-indulgent sort of movie to make —
an expensive homage to the movies thai
George Lucas loved as a k i d —
swashbucklers, westerns and war movies —
Francois Truffaut out of Flash Gordon.
If Ihe intent wasn't obvious to Ihe mass audience, Ihe freshness and energy was. Francis Ford Coppola says that George Lucas has
"a bank called Slar Wars," and Ihe man who
saw Ills script rejected all over Hollywood
found thai people were begging for Ihe sequel he left the door open for.
It's a rule lhal sequels cost more lo make,
. aren't as good, and aren't as successful at the
box office. But Luke Skywalker, Princess
Leia. Han Solo. Chewbacca and even Darth
Vader are national heroes. The Dallas syndrome is In effect and people want lo know
whal happens nexl.
For example, I'd been having running
arguments with various friends of mine for
two years over whether Leia was going to fall
In love wllh Luke or Han. I'd been a strong
backer of Luke's, and was more than a Utile
chagrined — though delightfully surprised —
when she told Han she loved him Just before
Vader had him lowered Into Ihe carbonfreezing chamber. I was right lhal Lucas
would feel compelled to Introduce a major
black character, and lhal Obi-Wan would
appear In Empire whether he was dead or
nol.
Right now I'm embroiled In a new sel of
arguments. Whal lo me seems a surprising
number of people feel sure that Darth Vader
is lying about being Luke's father, and none
of Ihem feel that Luke himself will be
subverted by Ihe dark side of the Force —
which I'm absolulely sure he will be. (Oh,
he'll probably redeem himself with a selfless
and heroic act while mortally wounded, but
he's going to do a true Shakespearean flipflop.J 1 think the beginning of the end will
come when he and Han have a violent
falling-out over Leia. And Leia is going to be
the "another" savior Obi-.Wan reassures
Yoda exists when Yoda bemoans the fact
that Ihe impulsive Luke is their last chance.
The question that troubles many movie Industry observers though Is not whal will happen In The Jedi's Revenge, bul will audiences wait three years for each installment
of a movie series that keeps them hanging?
The Empire Strikes Back doesn't end with a
climactic battle, and a triumphant ceremony,
but with one of the heroes the captive of one
of Ihe villains, another facing the unresolved
possibility lhat Ihe villain Is his father (and I
think he Is), and Ihe rebellion running for its
life. This Isn't a case of "Same Bat-time,
same Bat-channel," but wait until 1983.
And we will, At least I will. 20th Century
Fox will find new ways lo merchandise the
films, and keep the name a household word,
The kids my brother and 1 sal wllh last
Monday struck us as a dead crowd. We
cheered and clapped much more than they
did, but they loved It too, and even Ihe
bored-looking parents came In with applause
when Death Star finally exploded. The
energy of the movie iranscends the age barrier. It's a movie which Is either accepted In
totp or not at all. Those who have trouble acting and feeling like kids have no trouble
believing II all. And If Ihe trend continues,
Obl-Wan's last words to Luke could be more
prophetic than even George Lucas realized:
"The force will be wllh you — always." •

Three Mile Island clean-up has

his wife and two children, disappeared in late February rrom a picnic ground in Taos, New Mexico,
and haven't been heard from since.

Thompson had been a chemical
engineer wlh RAD Services, Incorporated, a Pennsylvania-based
company involved in cleaning up
the Three Mile Island Nuclear
Plant. He had moved to New Mexico after allegedly receiving death
threats about a book he was
writing. That still-unpublished
book alleges there have been coverups concerning radiation doses the
workers had received.
Taos Assistant District Attorney
Jerry Wells, who has been investigating Thompson's disappearance, says that, once in New
Mexico, Thompson became increasingly "paranoid" after being involved in a car accident in which a
close friend was killed. Thompson
claimed that someone had
deliberately run them off a mountain road. Several months later,
Thompson and his family dropped
out of sight.
A Washington Post reporter,
who interviewed Thompson and
read his book, says the book was
never accepted for publication by
any of the publishers Thompson
had submitted it to. Joan Omang
adds there was nothing in the book
that should have made Thompson
afraid of threats. Reporter Omang
says both pro- and anti-nuclear
scientists who read the manuscript
claimed it contained material which
"defied the laws of nature and was
hearsay, gossip and unscientific."
Wells, in the meantime, says his
investigation has conic to a dead
end, with no evidence either for or
against foul play. He adds,
however, that the only personal
belonging found missing when the
Thompsons disappeared wus a brief
case containing personal family
papers, Ihe book's manuscript and
olhcr papers possibly relating lo ihe
case. He says some people arc culling the disappearance a publicity

Life in the U.S.S.R.
Richard B . Levlne
Saturday afternoon. A gorgeous white
birch forest. Delicious "shaslilik" on a
skewer. Beer and soda. A cool September
breeze blowing. Students throwing a frisbee
around while listening to cassette tapes of
the Cars and Neil Young. What a lifel
That was our welcome-to-the-U.S.S.R.
party that our student and faculty counterparts (most of whom were in Albany the
previous year) at the Moscow Institute of
Foreign Languages organized in our honor
last autumn. This started off the 1980-81,
seventh
annual,
SUNY-Moscow
undergraduate exchange program which I
and nine other SUN Y students participated
in.
My four-month stay in the U.S.S.R. was
a fabulous and unforgettable one. Our
group was in Moscow to study Russian intensively at Moscow's Institute of Foreign
Languages, the U.S.S.R.'s top foreign
language interpreter's and teacher's Institute. Besides over 20 hours a week or so
of classroom instruction (in Russian), we
were scheduled to take short and long
cultural excursions. Local excursions
around Moscow included fascinating tours
of the Kremlin, historical sites, art
museums, the theater. Our longer excursions took us to picturesque Leningrad and
Kiev, and to ancient Vladimir and Suzdal,
ISO miles cast of Moscow.
In spite of the hectic academic and
cultural program I still found plenty of time
to get out on my own to explore. This
enabled me to become totally immersed in
Soviet life, to live as a Soviet lives.
1 ate in Soviet cafeterias and restaurants,
shopped in Soviet stores, used Moscow's efficient and inexpensive, but sometimes
crowded thus unnerving, public transit. All
of this involved being forced to constantly
speak and listen to Russian and see firsthand just what the every day Soviet is like.
There was a great deal of exchanging of
ideas and opinions at the dormitory where
we all lived. Our dorm included not only
Soviet students but foreign students from
over 60 nations. In our somewhat decrepit,
but cozy, living quarters, our roommates
and neighbors helped us to cope with our
new and unfamiliar surroundings by making us feel at home with their generosity,
hospitality and patience, which were way
beyond the normal call of duty.
I was truly impressed by the wealth of
cultural and recreational resources that the
U.S.S.R. has to offer. But rather than
speak about each and every museum or play
or sports event that I attended, I'd like to
mention just a few of the more enjoyable
and unusual experiences that I personally
had.
I attended Mass on Christmas Eve in a
"working" (not a museum) Roman
Catholic Church in central Moscow. The
church was filled with young and old alike
while gorgeous holiday songs were being
sung in Latin and Russian.
Another memorable experience occurred
after prolonged applause and fifteen curtain calls at a major Moscow theater's
"Swan Lake" ballet performance, 1 and the
few dozen other people remaining and still
applauding were invited backstage to meet
the" performers. What a thrill that was!
When one of the four other SUNY
students and 1 were clowning around in the
Moscow subway, a cute little boy and his
grandmother started to exchange smiles and
laughs with us. Finally, my companion offered them some "Wrigley's Gum."
Needless to say, they genuinely appreciated
it. The point is, it really was possible to
make friends with Soviets on the streets and
in the subway . . . and it was a lot of fun.
Of course, I missed the United States
during my stay, especially on holidays, and
friends' and relatives' birthdays. However,
getting letters from home, reading
"Newsweek" once in a while at our Embassy, watching the Carter-Regan debates;
Barbara Walters and all, on videotape al
the U.S. Ambassador's Residence, and
even drinking Soviet "Pepsi" and "Fanta"
helped to bring home that much closer.
Perhaps it seems that I'm eliminating the
unpleasantnesses there (which certainly do
exist in varying degrees). I am not denying
that they do exist, I am merely discussing
particular experiences — experiences which
are rarely brought to light, given the stule of
affairs of East-West relations today. To be
sure, whether I was engaged in fierce
political arguments or enjoying a quiet chat
with my Soviet friends after a delicious,
h o m e - c o o k e d meal, the common
denominator was a felt common respect.
That respect is absolutely essential in order
for good, peaceful international relations to
Waste Not
To the Editor:
"Big deal!" "The carrots aren't cooked
e n o u g h ! " "There's t o o much fat o n the
roast beef!" For over three years, I've
heard these comments and other similar rationalizations regarding U A S cafeteria
food. Sure, everybody Is entitled to complain, protest and scream about the quality
of food that they eat. However, wasting it
not only hurts other people (indirectly) but
it by n o means leads to improved food.
I've been a dishwasher o n State Quad for
one and a half semesters now and I am
amazed at the amount o f food that is
squandered. Half-eaten hamburgers and
grilled cheese minus one bite d o add up. I
realize that this sounds extremely frugal and
to some people even ridiculous, but it's also
reality. There is a lot o f edible food that is
unnecessarily wasted.
I'm sure that everybody has heard that X
percent o f the world is starving and would
love to have the food that you reject. This
may be an over used and non-effective
statement lo most people; it is nevertheless
true. Cutting down on the amount o f U A S
food which is wasted most likely will not
alter the diet o f any undernourished person
anywhere else in the world. But this does
not mean that human beings should treat
food as if its supplies arc Infinite. Well off
people should not fail to realize what it
must fee! like not to have a plentiful supply
o f food.
develop. T h e fact that an American, their
supposed " e n e m y , " shows genuine interest
in their language, culture and opinions
enables them to feel comfortable, not
defensive, and to open up, just as I was able
lo d o . And we have a lot l o learn from each
other.
Just last week, I read about a study which
characterized the average American student
as grossly uninformed and unaware of the
international arena. These findings are very
unfortunate and embarrassing. S U N Y ' s
Moscow exchange program nol only offers
a beginning, a start towards casing international tensions through mutual understanding at a time when it is sorely needed, but
it gives the participant a chance to g o where
the vast majority o f Americans will never
go, and an opportunity to learn about a
totally alien system while looking at him or
herself and the United States in a different
light, objectively and intelligently. N o w
that is truly a learning experience.

Special Thanks
To the Editor:
On behalf o f New York Special Olympics, Area 10, 1 would like lo issue a public
letter o f thanks to the students and faculty
of the State University of New York al
Albany for an outstanding job done o n the
recent benefit Telethon.
Area 10 Special Olympics was one of two
recipients o f funds raised by this endeavor,
and not denying the importance o f the
monetary donation to our organization, I
feel that an equally important emotional
contribution was made as well.
Throughout the many hours, days, weeks
and months of preparation for Telcthon'81,
their purpose remained clear and unwavering: to help those individuals who are handicapped or otherwise disadvantaged.
Our special thanks to David Yokel and
Sidonic Contino, chairpersons o f Tclethin
'81; to the committee volunteers, advisors,
friends and parents who stood behind their
efforts.
Our thanks, also, to Robin Hirschman,
who chaired the Children's Hour Committee. T h e joy experienced by our athletes at
the parties was undeniable.
Not only have the students touched the
lives of the nearly 1,000 Special Olympians
in Area 10 with their love, but also, they
have opened their hearts to the continuing
needs o f the mentally retarded.
The mentally retarded have always been
told, " Y o u can't d o it." Special Olympics
says, " Y o u can d o it; all you need is a
chance."Telethon '81 has helped provide
that chanc;. 'ind we are sincerely grateful.

T o the Editor:
Noi many university students know that
110 years a g o , on March 18, 1871, the
workers o f Parks, Prance struck a blow
against class oppression thai senl shock
waves around the world and provided a
p r o f o u n d inspiration for workers
everywhere.
What had been up to then just another of
many rebellions of the oppressed turned into a true revolution, the establishment of
the first worker's government in history,
the Paris Commune.
Without any vanguard party to lead them
and without any lyrant to direct their actions, the starving, untrained, barely
literate, out-numbered and out-gunned
workers smashed the French capitalist state,
ran its army out of town and checked the
advance o f the crack troops o f a victorious
Prussian army.
For 63 days these brave people showed
that the collective genius and will o f the
working class can take hold o f its own
destiny and found a society free o f tyranny,
want, and class rule.
The Socialist Labor Party celebrates this
great event every year as the Paris C o m mune is a landmark in working class
history.

Private Party
T o Ihe Editor:
1 a m upset and annoyed to see that
S U N Y A has destroyed an old tradition, to
make room for a new one. I am referring to
the private party the University Concert
Board is throwing this year at the expense
of the university community. This year's
ticket policy is discriminatory and infringes
upon the rights of students as well as other
university personnel. U C B is assuming that
the only people who are entitled to use
university facilities not only possess tax
cards, but also have agreed l o attend this
gala event.
What if a student chooses to decline this
invitation and nol attend this Celebration
'81? Should she be encouraged to leave her
dorm room (as suggested) and in the event
she does, where should she go? What about
graduaic sludeiils, continuing studies
students, and oilier staff who frequent the
library a n d / o r seek refuge in the campus
center for a break or for a bile lo eal? Is it
righl to deprive these people o f their rights
as part of the university and close down certain facilities or discourage them from frequenting these facilities just because they
were nol invited to this private parly?
tioner, who shall remain anonymous, asked
Ms. Snyder why she had promised that the
group interview would not be used for RA
selection this year and yet it was. Ms.
Snyder responded immediately that she had
not made such a promise. There was more
discussion about whether or not the promise had been made. At this point, the
president asked if the discussion was really
pertinent to the meeting at hand (a general
Quad Board meeting), Ms. Snyder then
agreed to talk to the questioner following
the meeting. That discussion occurred in
the Eastman Tower Lower Lounge, where
any interested individual who had been at
the Quad Board meeting could have joined
or listened to what was being said.
N o w , some may say that since I have
recently been appointed as an RA on State
Quad, 1 am trying to butter up my boss,
Ms. Snyder, by coming to her defense. On
Ihe contrary, 1 feel that my past record
shows my complete honesty and the fact
that I do nol "kiss ass." I wrote this letter
lo clarify some tilings that I felt might be
misconstrued by a reader who docs nol
know all the facts about the above mentioned points.

Uncertain Past
To Ihe Editor:
In accordance with the Domestic Relations Code of New York, an original birili
record is scaled once an adoption is completed. This prevents Ihe adult adoptee
from having legal access lo her biological
past unless she can demonstrate good
cause. In practice, this means the adoptee

psychological problem. In defense of their
position, the courts talk of protecting

T o the Editor:
The birlh of a child may reactivate this
As secretary o f State Quad Board, 1 feel
it is my duty to respond l o some o f the questioning. Normally friends and relatives
points brought out by Mr. Sieve Gerber in can't wail to find resemblances between the
his recent letters, "Quad Politics" and newborn and grandma. Everyone wonders
when Ihe child is the only family member,
" R A Warning."
The first point is the case o f Mr. Gcrber's past or present, with strawberry blonde
selection as a member o f Judicial Board. As hair. For the parent who is an adoptee, this
he slates, "I was selected by a committee of enigma is sometimes compounded later on
which Ms. Snyder was a member." Thai is by a child's similar queries.
Out of Control
Let's put aside all of our personal opinions for or against an
organized military group on campus. The issue has been debated
at many schools across the country, with emotions running high
in both directions.
Instead, let's just get to the root of the problem: the recent
decision to allow ROTC on SUNYA's campus. There are a lot of
things that bother us about this.
For example, why was the decision to allow ROTC on campus
made so quietly? And why weren't the students consulted or told?
Although it was reported to the University Senate, the surreptitious way in which it was done spurred no debate. How could an
issue which has caused so much controversy at other campuses be
railroaded right through? It seems to us that an issue of this importance deserved a lot more scrutiny.
In addition to the sneaky way it was passed through, there are
other problems. In the past, the army has shown outright
discrimination against homosexuals. The university's new antidiscrimination policy, however, clearly states that there cannot be
discrimination against someone because of his/her sexual
preference. If ROTC violates this, will the university stand
behind its own policy?
The university has also given ROTC carle blanche when it
comes to holding classes on campus. There will be no input from
or control by the university administration. Those in charge of
the ROTC program will have the right to teach, conduct classes
and treat each student in any way they see fit. How can the
university relinquish its control to ROTC when it comes to
academic credit and use of our facilities? This sets a terrible
precedent.
While we don't deny a person the right lo join such an
organization, we do question many things about its being at
SUNYA. These questions need to be answered, for it is our
university and we must have a say in decisions which affect us.

Clarification
just ihe point. Ms. Snyder was a member o f
that committee and whether she wanted
Mr. Gerber as a member o f Ihe board or
nol is not the question. II was a committee
decision made like any other. Mr. Gerber
makes it seem as if Ms. Snyder is a dictator
who has total control over the committee
that chooses Judicial Board members.
A second point I want lo bring forth is
Mr. Gcrber's statement that SA applications were not opened because Ms. Snyder
didn't want someone to gel the job. I personally wanted to apply for the position
when I learned there were vacancies.
However, I realized that since the S A staff
is not very large (there arc normally six), in
order to prevent the remaining four SA's
from being overworked, the process would
be speeded up by considering only those applications that had been received previously. It also seems to me that even if there had
been a re-opening of applications, if someone wasn't wanted as an S A , all that
would have to be done would be nol to
choose that person.
The third, and final, point I'd like to
clarify is Mr. Gcrber's section concerning
Ms. Snyder's "evasion" o f a question
about the RA selection process. The ques-
As an older person, the adoptee may find
difficulty in putting her life into perspective. Although able lo take pride in family
and achievements, can she know her place
in the larger order? Such a realization may
be different given her uncertain past.
Perhaps the law maker should carefully
review his statutes, Or if he is ambitious,
should lake a close look at the people affected by his work. Most people want prolection under ihe law, nol protection from
themselves. When Ihe adoption law is
leviewed, a distinction might be made between the adoptee as a child and as an adult.

continued from page three
(D-Il) added the move was "not
completely satisfactory," while
Rep. Ted Weiss (D-NY) said it
merely sanctioned Reagan's "illegal
act."
Two student groups, angered by
what they also termed an "illegal
act," contemplated suing the administration in Ihc wake of the subcommittee's compromise. The U.S.
Student Association (USSA) and
the Coalition of Independent College and University Students (called
COPUS) assert the revised schedule
for how much money a family musl
contribute lo its kids' college education violates the Higher Education
Reauthorization Act of 1980, passed jusi last October.
The act stipulates changes in the
schedule had lo be published before
July I, 1980, to give Congress
enough lime lo cotilemplale them.
The Mexican-American Legal
Defense and Educalional Fund
(MALDEF) is also considering filing suit on the same grounds.
But Ihc three groups' resolve to
sue is somewhat tempered by their
fear an Injunction lo slop the terms
of the compromise might hall aid
processing altogether.
Another delay in processing
would almost, certainly pose even
more problems for students figuring out where they can afford to go
to school In the fall.
Nevertheless, COPUS' Steve
Licfman is determined to get a legal
judgement on the matter.
"We want to set the precedent of
not allowing the Dept; of Education
to do what they've done," he told
Higher Education Daily.
Students arc equally upset over
Senate approval of drastic student
aid cuts three weeks ago.
The Senate approved measures to
make students with Pell Grants contribute $750 in "self-help" money
lo qualify for a grant, lo drop inschool inlercsl rate subsidies for
Guaranleed Student Loans, and to
raise the interest rates on parent
loans.
The Senate Labor and Human
Resources Committee, however,
still must fit the programs into the
larger federal budget. That means
Ihe policies — though not the
numbers — of the budgcl can be
altered, according lo Sen. Robert
Stafford's office.
Stafford hopes lo introduce a bill
lo preserve Ihc "critically imporlanl
payment of inlercsl for students
while in school."

taken.
Somach explained then that an
ROTC proposal must pass through
the Undergraduate Academic
Council (UAC) and the Educational
Policy Council of the Senate,
wherein suggestions and revisions
may be made. The Proposal then
goes to the University Senate, he
said, which would make a recommendation to the President.
O'Lcary makes the final decision.
However, the proposal was never
voted on by the University Senate as
a whole, and UAC Chair Dean
Snow said he "didn't know a thing
about it."
O'Leary lias the power lo change
academic policy, and thus could approve the extension center agreement without consulting the Senate,
Somach noted.
O'Lcary contends that the decision was not insidiously made.
"The proposal was made by the
EPC and reported to the Senate,"
he said. "Any Senator can ask for
discussion, ll was very openly and
carefully done." He noted also that
Ihc EPC is comprised of both faculty and students.
O'Leary said Ihe qucstlonn regarding the "academic" nature of the
courses was essentially decided by
Ihe EPC.
"In iheir view it was academic,"
he said. "We do not give credit for
military drills. The students will only receive credit as they have been
for courses laken at RP1.
"Originally, the proposal was
made so that our students would
not have lo travel to RPI," he explained.
O'Leary changed Ihc univcrsily's
anti-discrimination policy last year
to prohibit discrimination on campus on the basis of sexual or affcetional preference. Asked if the
university policy and the Army's
historically ami-homosexual policy
would pose problems, O'Leary said
"il would raise an issue in my
mind."
Ex-Beatle
Ringo Starr
Weds Actress
Barbara Bach
LONDON (AP) - Former Beatles
drummer Ringo Starr married
American actress and Playboy pinup Barbara Bach in a civil ceremony
here Monday.
Paul McCartney and George
Harrison, former members of the
world's lop rock group, attended
the ceremony at the Marylcbone
Rcgisler Office. John Lennon, the
fourth member, was shot to death
in New York City last Dec. 8.
Scuffles broke out among hundreds of fans who had waited for
hours to catch a glimpse of the
40-year-old Starr and his bride. One
man was knocked unconscious and
taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Starr courted Miss Bach, 34, during the making of the film
"Caveman" in Mexico last year.
Starr has not released a record
album for nearly three years and is
concentrating on an acting career.
Miss Bach, who appeared in the
James Bond film "The Spy Who
Loved Me" posed for revealing
photographs in Playboy three years
ago and also appeared in a recent
issue of the magazine.
She listed her name on the marriage license application as
Goldback. Ringo used his real name
of Richard Starkcy.
The two, who have lived together
for more than a year, gave their address as London's plush Dorchesler
Hotel, but were thought to be planning a trip lo Ihe United States this
weekend.

We Think We Know Who
Will Win the Stanley Cup
Sports April 28, 1981,
Women's Track 10th at Cortland
by Lnrl Cohen
The Albany State women's spring
track and field team braved the
cold, wind, snow, and rain Saturday at the Cortland Invitational
Meet and came out with a tenth
place finish.
Running against larger and more
experienced teams, the small
Albany team managed to capture
several places. In the first event of
the day — the 10,000 meters — Liz
Ncporcnt placed sixth with a time
or 46:58:01. Barb Hill put on her
running shoes and blazed to a sixth
place finish in the 200-mclcrs with a
solid time of 27.8 seconds.
In the field events Kim Lozicr put
the shot far enough to qualify for
the State Championships, finishing
just out of the points in seventh.
Sandy Wilbur, a state qualifier in
the shot, sprang her way to a sixth
in the high jump with a leap of 4-8.
In the relays the Danes put their
team work together. The Medley
Relay consisting of Lois Mattaboni,
Kathy Gollogly, Winnie Weston
and anchor JoAnn Shecran, placed
fifth with a lime of 2:05.7. The
440-yard relay team, already a stale
qualifier, finished fourth with a
good lime of 53.9. Hill, Gollogly,
Lisa France and anchor Weston
compiled that relay.
The Danes will take a break this
weekend, except for those qualifying for the Stale Championships at
SI. John's. Those team members
are Weston, France, Lozicr,
Gollogly, Hill, Wilbur and
Ncporcnt.
The Rangers are once again trying to prove they are the most
mediocre team during the regular season and the best playoff team.
For the second time in three years they will show the Islanders what
hot goaltending, heavy hitting, inspired play and a little luck can mean
in the semis. The Rangers will beat their cross-town rivals in seven,
after leading the series 3-1. They will then complete their dream by
beating Minnesota in six.
—Sieve Greenberg
Both Calgary and the Islanders have put on many miles lately. I like
the Rangers In seven and Minnesota in six. The North Stars have
played exceptional hockey the past three weeks in beating the Bruins
and the Sabres. They 'II win the Stanley Cup in five over the Rangers.
- B i f f Fischer
The Islander-Ranger series will be as intense as the last time they met
in the playoffs. The Islanders are impressive, but because of the emotions involved, the Rangers have the best chance of beating them. But
hey won 'I. The Islanders will win the series in six games on their way
o a second straight cup, where they will top Minnesota in five.
—Paul Schwartz
The problem with the Rangers is that they are so hot they do not
Realize that they're the 13th best team in the league. The Islanders will
Wemind them. Sorry city-slickers, the fantasy is oyer. The Isles are just
Boo deep and too talented. The Islanders will win in six, and then in six
more over the North Stars.
—Bob Bellaflurc
5*1 Once Is never enough, and the Rangers will beat the Islanders in six
'lames again. It will take hot goaltending from Steve Baker, as well as
mtavy hitting. The Nilsson line will be a force. The other series will be
close and it will lake seven before Minnesota will force Calgary to get
the golf clubs out. Ultimately, captain Barry Beck will proudly hoist
the cup as the Rangers defeat the North Stars in six.

Finally, after four disappointing years of inefficient student government,
there is now something for seniors to write home about.
On a cold, dark, lonely night in the campus center, Crazy Gary, Crazy Bob,
Crazy Brad, Crazy Frank, Crazy Tommy and the rest of the Crazy Class Council slashed
your senior week ticket prices by an incredible SO percent over last years prices.
But that wasn't good enough!! We defied inflation and stayed well past
building hours and slashed those prices to such incredibly low levels that even
government economists winced at our fanatic disregard for the laws of finance.

The pole vault was won by
Albany's Keith Koster, by leaping a

completed Albany's sweep in the
field events by winning the triple
jump competition.
The Danes fared just as well in
the running events. However, one
of only four running events the
Danes lost all day happened to be
the first one. In the 10,000-meter
run, Albany's Chris Lant made a
valiant effort in finishing second to
Binghamton's Kurt Kroemer. Lant
finished with a time of 34:10.3;
Kroemer finished the race in a time
of 33:48.5.
"I stayed with him for the first
half of Ihc race, but he put on u few
good moves to pull away. I'm happy with my lime, but 1 think I could
have taken a few minutes off, if it
wasn't so windy," Lant said.

Martinez from Vassar and won 6-3,
6-2. Her quick gain allowed her to
move into the finals competition
where she was knocked out immediately by a strong tennis player
from Mt. Holyoke, 6-2, 6-3.
Duchin, though overcome in her
initial match by the number two
seed from Springfield College, 6-4,
6-2, was able to advance into the
consolation round. There she excelled all the way to the semi-finals
by beating a woman from Whcaton
College 6-3, 6-1, and a competitor
from Barnard in the quarter-finals
6-0, 6-4. She was finally stopped by
a woman from Colby-Sawyer College, 6-3, 6-2.
"Pam did remarkably well indoors against Springfield," said
Albany women's tennis coach
Peggy Mann, "and continued to
play well until the woman from
Colby-Sawyer beat her in the consolation semi-finals."
The doubles squads from Albany
also split themselves between the
finals competition and the consolation finals. Bard and O'Conner
beat the duet from Barnard in three
sets, 6-2, 6-7, 6-2. Sunday they met
the number one seed from Skidmore and lost 6-2, 6-4.
"The Skidmorc team continued
to win advancing farther into finals
play," remarked Mann. "It's great
that our team got into the finals by
beating Barnard, but usually we fair
better in the consolation finals."
Like Duchin, Phillips and
Feinberg were downed in their first
round of play, 6-3, 2-6,6-1 by a duo
from Mt. Holyoke. Because of the
loss, they proceeded to play in the
consolation round. "We started out
slow," mentioned Feinberg, "but
after a while we got better."
Due to the 29 pairs in doubles
play, three byes were awarded to
various teams. Phillips and
Feinberg received the advantage in
the first set of the consolation finals
so automatically moved up to the
quarter-finals. Meeting Whcaton
College in this series, Albany
managed a 6-7, 6-4, 6-0 win.
Moving on to the consolation
semi-finals the Danes were ousted
by a Springfield team, 6-3, 6-1.
"It was an exhausting weekend,"
said Mann, "but fun to watch.
Saturday it rained so we had to
drive an additional 18 miles . . .
where the women played indoors.
Later it cleared so we ended up back
at Mt. Holyoke for some late afternoon outdoor play. The extra
traveling time was trying on
everyone and quite tiring but music
kept our spirits up. Sunday the skies
were clear so v/e played outdoors at
Mt. Holyoke, It was a good
weekend and the women played
some very good tennis."
The Danes are in Oneonta this
afternoon, but will be back in
Albany Saturday, hosting Concordia at 11:00 a.m. on the Dutch
Quad courts.

Poor weather conditions could
not stop them. And neither could
the team from Russell Sage as the
Albany State women's Softball
team kept up their winning pace,
sweeping their local rivals In a
doubleheader Saturday at Russell
Sage by scores of 5-1 and 10-4.
The Danes received an outstanding performance in the first game
from hurlcr Lynn Truss. She pitched masterfully allowing only four
hits, walking none and striking out
six batters. "She pitched an excellent game," said Albany Softball
head coach Lee Rhenish of Truss.
In thai game, played under wet
conditions, Albany was flawless in
the field. "Defense is what won the
game for us," Rhenish commented.
"Our ability to play together was
obvious."
At bat though, the Dane hitters
were virtually silenced. Albany only
collected two hils in the opener. Bui
five walks along with several Sage
errors helped Albany build their
runs.
In the top of the first inning, Sage
drew first blood as Truss had trouble for the only time all game. Sage
scored its only run on a walk, a
stolen base and a double. However,
in spile of this minor rally, Truss
still managed lo strike out two batters in that inning and settled down
Ihe rest of the way.

Albany quickly got that run back
and took the lead in the bottom of
the first. Nancy Halloran and
Trudy Eisaman both scored on a
pair of errors in the Sage infield.
The Danes Increased that lead to
4-1 as with runners on second and
third, Tammy Dorman doubled,
driving in two runs.
The Danes added one more in the
bottom half of the fourth inning.
Carol Wallace reached on an error,
stole second and advanced to third
on a base on balls. She then came In
on Kathy Curatolo's fielder's
choice, giving Albany Ihe 5-1 lead.
With Russell Sage starting the
same pitcher in the second game,
the Danes hitters came alive. The
Danes smacked seven hits which
were good for 10 runs.
Down by one run in the bottom
of Ihe second, Albany exploded for
four runs, on two hits and a pair of
Sage errors.
Russell Sage scored another run
in the third, bul Albany brought
two more across the plate in the
bottom half of that inning on a
double by Sue Schulman. The
Danes scored two more in the fifth
and another two in the seventh,
while Albany pitcher Mary Ann
Connery coasted to victory giving
up only four runs on six hits.
Mailman's fifth inning double
helped her towards getting three
RBI's on the day.
Albany, now boasting a strong
8-2 record, is in good position for a
bid in the New York State Championships to be held May 8 and 9.
Rhenish right now is wailing for the
word on that bid, noting that the
Danes have a better record than any
of the local area teams.
"I'm real pleased al Ihe way their
playing together," Rhenish said,
"and Ihe progress that they've
made individually and collectively."

With the fourth quarter at hand,
Oswego was down six goals and
were forced to resort to a game construed of sloppy ball-handling. The
Lakers were frustrated — playing
overly aggressive and taking poor
shots along with unenthusiastic
passing.
Oswego tried to rally late, scoring
two quarter-ending goals. Both
goals were scored by Dan Head at
10:07 and 12:15. Albany goalie J.D.
McMahon came in at the end of the
game to replace Tirman who had 15
saves.
"They weren't ready to play.
They were supposed to be a better
team but they didn't move too well.
Their specialty teams hurt them,
but we moved the ball around real
well," said Motta.
Albany had 42 shots on goal.
"DaRos had an exceptionally good
day — always firing on goal. Our
extraman offense went well and we
cleared the ball successfully," Motta said. The win keeps Albany(2-3)

Danes Sweep Colgate as Esposito Gets Record
by Bob Bellaflore
As a rule, Division III teams are
not supposed to beat Division I
teams.
So much for rules.
The Albany State varsity baseball
team won its eighth game in a row
and increased their already impressive record to 10-1 by sweeping
a double-header over Division I
Colgate, taking the first game 4-2
and coming from behind in the
night-cap, 3-2, Saturday afternoon.
Ace righthander Mike Esposito
got a complete game victory in the
opener for his third win of the spring (his eighth overall) and the alltime Albany win mark. Ron
Masseroni also went the distance in
the night-cap and grabbed his
fourth win in five decisions.
The Danes wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard in the first
game and did it with classic baseball
strategy. Leadoff hitter Bob Tortorello walked and stole second.
Center fielder Matt Antalek followed with a sacrifice bunt, moving
Tortorellb to third. After top Dane
hitter Bob Arcario (.432, 16-37) was
walked, number five hitter Frankie
Rivera singled Tortorello home.
In the second, Albany had
another run before Colgate could
get an out. Right fielder Tom Verde
(2-5 for the day) doubled off the
bag at third base. Then designated
hitter Bobby Rhodes singled over
shortstop Ken Slaats' head, and the
Danes led, 2-0.
Left fielder Jim Lynch's first
home run of the season in llic
fourth inning gave Albany all llic
runs they needed to clinch the win
for Esposito.
The Danes got one more in the
sixth when Rhodes (2-3) doubled to
the right field corner. Designated
runner Steve Shucker went to third
on Colgate hurlcr Joe Spofford's
wild pitch, and came in on Lynch's
line single to center.
Colgate's runs were all unearned.
They got one in the fifth when John
Kratley reached on a force play,
went to second on a perfect bunt
single by Jim March, and came in
when Rivera's throw to first to first
trying to complete what would have
been an inning-ending double play
was too high for Bruce Rowlands to
handle.
Their second tally came in the top
of the seventh inning. Kratley led
off with a single to right and went
to third when Antalek could not gel
Ihc handle on March's ensuing
single. A walk to Dan Trunfio loaded the bases, and Kratley scored
when Slaals grounded out to second.
But Ihe Danes got out of the jam
when Arcario snared Joe Murphy's
soft liner at third and stepped on
Ihe bag for the game-ending double
play.
In the night-cap, Albany wenl
out to an early lead again — this
time in the second inning. Red
Raider starter Carter Mann walked
Rowlands on four pitches to lead
off. Rivera followed with a high fly
to right thai got caught in the swirling wind. Trunfio twisted and fell
while chasing it, and the ball dropped behind him. By the lime he got
Ihc ball lo the infield, Rowland
scored, and Rivera was parked on
Ihird with a stand-up triple.
Colgate Med ii up in the Ihird. Second baseman Dave Nuli singled
past ihird lo lead off. March tried
to bunt him over, but Masseroni's
throw pulled Rowlands off the bag
and both men were on. Kratley
struck out on three pitches, but
Staats singled to right and Nuti
scored.
Colgate went up 2-1 in the next
inning. Tortorello went deep in the
hole at shortstop to field Dave
Wolf's hard grounder, but his
throw was in the dirt, skipped by
Rowlands and Wolf look second.
Trunfio followed with an RBI
single up Ihc middle.
"When we got behind 2-1, it
woke us u p , " said Albany baseball
coach Rick Skeel.
The awakening became unpleasant for Colgate, and Albany got
two runs in the fifth. Designated
hitter Jerry Rosen walked, went to
second on an errant pickoff attempt, moved to third on Verde's
single, and was awarded home on
Mann's balk.
Lynch brought Verde across the
plate with the winning run with his
Ihird RBI hit of the day. Masscroni
retired Ihc last six Colgate batters in
order and completed Ihc sweep on a
day not exactly made for baseball.
The freezing cold and riddling
winds made il lough for the hitters
all day. Since the regular field was
in bad condition, Ihe Danes played
on the J.V. field and had lo face the
wind.
"If we had played on our field,"
Skeel said with confidence, "il
wouldn't have been close."
This afternoon, Ihe Danes face a
quality RPI team at 3:00 behind Indian Quad, and Skeel is taking litis
one like he has laken every game so
far. "We've got lo lake one game at Albany ace Mike Esposito lakes the sign en route to selling Ihc all-lime

Cocks' New Contract is Recommended

Faeully and students afire over
Vice President for Academic Affairs David Martin's recommendation thai Political Science Professor
Peter Cocks' contract not be renewed, can relax. After reconsidering
his position, Martin sent a recommendation thai Cocks be rehired lo
5UNYA President Vinceni O'l.cary
yesterday.
O'Lcury said Ihc vice president
for academic affairs is responsible
for issuing recommendations regarding llic appointment and reappointment of faculty, and although
O'Lcary has final approval, ihe vice
president's recommendations arc,
as a rule, accepted.
Martin said his decision reversal
was an "outcome of a discussion"
with Department of Political
Science Chair Alvin Magid, who
recommended llial Cocks' contract
be renewed. Since Magid is a new
department chair, Marlin felt it Im-
portant llial he be shown .support.
Marlin said lhai on a personal
level he had "mixed emotions" and
"severe reservations" about his
latest recommendation ihni Cocks
he retained on stall'.
Cocks would not coiumeni officially on the issue before Marlin's
reversal, and was unavailable for
comment afterwards.
Several faeully members and
students believed the reason for
Martin's original decision nol lo
renew Cocks' contract was dial
Cocks did noi publish enough.
Mailin would nol specify why he
did nol Initially give Cocks a
favorable recommendation. He did
say, however, lhan when Cocks'
new iwo year contract expires in
September 1982, he will be eligible
for lenurc consideration, and thai
"a two year term would allow him

favorable conditions with rather
overcast skies, a chilly wind and a
low temperature.
Right off Ihc opening face-off,
Oswego's Mark Mancini took the
ball and scored the game's first goal
with only 14 seconds elapsed, but
Ihe Danes rebounded in fine
fashion as Mike Slocum got a pass
from Tom Prall at Ihe five
minute mark to lie Ihc game al one.
At Ihis poinl Ihc Danes began to
dig into the Oswego squad with efficient aggressive play in and around
the Laker cage. Warren Wray
scored Ihe first of his three goals
with just 15 seconds to go in the
first quarter as he fired an
unassisted shoi into the Oswego
net.
On the afternoon Albany did noi
fare lo well on face-offs — taking
only one all game. To open the second 15 minutes quarter, Slocum
was called for delay of game and
was handed a technical violation.
The Danes began a quarter
characterized by aggressive defense
and offense-minded determination.
Ken DaRos got a pass from Wray
jusl 1:40 into the quarter thai jusl
wenl above the ncl on a solid passing effort.
"I like to shoot high bin Ihis time
I shot the ball just a little too sharply," said DaRos. Al Ihis poinl
Albany dominated play with end lo
end lacrosse.
At the 5:15 mark on an Albany
powerplay, DaRos took a pass from
Bob Venier with fundamental play
in ihe attacking zone. At 7:35 and
9:15 of the second quarter Albany
scored it's fourth and fifth goals as
Wray look a pass from Slocum and
DaRos caught a pass from Wray.
"The play was an unsettled situation. We were filling the lanes and
Warren came around and fed the
ball to me so I could gel a shot al
the ncl," said DaRos.
"This was the best game I've ever
played. 1 haven't been playing real
well lately and the team has been inconsistent but today I was looking
and playing good learn ball. 1 was
really hustling and in turn I was inthe right place to score goals," said
Wray.
Venier came on strong with four
minutes remaining in the half to up
the score for the Danes lo 6-2, bill
Oswego's Mark Serron closed ihe
half wilh his unassisted tally al
12:40 to end half wilh Albany up by
four al 6-2. Al Ihis slage of the
game, the contest was luming
slighlly in Oswego's favor based on
I heir timely stick-checking and
hard-hilling.
Again, Oswego won the opening
face-off •. f Ihc third quarter. The
quarter began wilh an early Dane
fasl break with midfielder Luke
Esposito attacking wide on the
Oswego ncl with a fine pass to Jon
Reilly who rammed a sharp shot al
ihe ncl that was blocked by a fine
save al Ihe hands of Oswego goalie
Evan Sovring.
Al the 1:36 mark Oswego's Serron scored his second goal of the
game to pul the Lakers within three
— Ihe closest they would ever come
the rest of ihe game. Early in Ihe
quarter, the game was mining inlo
a torrential battle with sloppy play
and careless mistakes by the visiting
learn. There was also some nice
defensive saves by Albany netminder Ken Tirman on Oswego's
Serron as his point-blank attempt
on net was thwarted.
At 8:20, Esposilo look a pass
from Wrag for Albany's seventh
goal. The assist was Wray's second
on ihe afternoon lo go along wilh
his Ihree goals.
"Today was undoubtedly Warren's finest performance," said
Albany lacrosse coach Mike Moiia.
Thirty-five seconds later John
Nelson pin Albany up 8-3 as the
Danes had Oswego in a man-up
situation and Nelson fired home an
unassisted goal. Wray ended the
third quarter scoring al the 10
minute mark with an assist from
DaRos. "We are capable of playing
good lacrosse. It's jusl a mailer of
pulling il ail together," said
DaRos.

Truth-in-Testing Applied Nationwide
by Bruce J. I.ieber
The College Entrance Examination Board, administrator of the
Scholastic Aptitude Tesl (SAT), has
voluntarily decided to extend the
disclosure provision of New York's
TtmIt-In-Testing law to the rest of
ihe nation, according lo College
Board Executive Director of Public
Affairs Barri Kelly.
The disclosure provision of the
Truth-In-Testing law, enacted on
January I. 1981, requires the College Board to disclose graded exams
and answers to test-lakers upon rc•que?!-. Under the law the College
Hoard nuisl also file each lest and
accompanying data witli the New
York Slate Education Department,
According lo Kelly, Ihe major
factor influencing the decision was
the College Board's "experience
wilh Truth-ln-Tesiing in New
York." Only five perccnl of New
York lesi-takcrs have requested information from Ihe College Board,
he said.
Predicting a similar, national rate,
Kelly feels that complying with national disclosure requests will pose
no difficulties,
Also influencing ihe decision was
Ihe recent case of an SAT answer
being proved wrong by high school
student Michael Galligan of
Rockland County.
"While we had been considering
national disclosure since December,
the incident clearly contributed to
our decision," admitted Kelly.
Assistant Lobbyist for Trulh-lnTesling Leslie Habcr called the College Board's decision "a major victory lor students across the country.
"Until recently, the College
Board hasn't staled publicly thai it
was important to disclose answers
nationally," she said.
However, the New York Public
Interest Group (NYP1RG) cautioned llial "voluntary disclosure Is an
extremely weak substitute for
legislation," and called for federal
Truth-In-Tcsting legislation in its
April 28 news release.
Kelly responded thai the College
Hoard will continue its opposition
to legislation, which il views as unnecessary governmental regulation
ill the testing process.
Compliance wilh the Truth-lnTesling law forced the College
Board to cut the number of tesl
dates in New York from fourteen to
eight this year in order lo "maintain
the quality of the lesls." The test
fee was also raised from $9.25 to
$ II .00 to cover the costs associated
with compliance.
Nationally, twelve tcsls will be
administered during Ihe 1981-82
academic year, five of which will be
disclosed lo students on request.
Tesl fees for these exams will also
be raised lo $10.50 to cover the
costs of disclosure.

Gloria DeSolc explained why it appears thai many women are going
lo "belter schools."
"They talk of a style and if Ihey

lo learn to see more merit in a variely of women's styles, be willing lo
take risks.
"Il is sometimes hard for men to
see women as their colleagues. It is
more common for them lo see
women as lovers, wives, and
secretaries. Men feel more comfortable wilh men.
"Tile diversity in hiring is not
.sufficiently prized here," she added. "The men are the ones doing all
the hiring."
Bose agreed, saying "There's stilt
that pool of pcoplejuil there that
we haven't met yet."
Dean Robert Kofr of the School
of Education remarked, "We don't
know why, but more males have
more mathematical aptitudes.
There are major shortages of
women in ihe biology, chemistry,
and computer fields. Those who arc
qualified lo teach Ihesc fields are
now in high demand by companies
such as IBM who offer them more
money."
Bose, who has a BA in
mathematics countered, "Research
.shows that males only have higher
mathematical aptitudes in reasoning problem-solving. There is a
great deal of overlap ill skills for
males and females. Furthermore,
the computer staff is losing men to
industry, not women."
