V-a-u-g-h-a-n Spells "Sweet Belief" for Danes
by Bob Bellafiore
If there is one term that best
describes Tuesday's Albany StateRPI clash that pitted two of the top
Division 111 teams in the Capital
District, it is "sweet relief." Both
teams had to rely on their bullpcns
early, and both Engineer reliever
Doug Woods and Dane Jim
Vaughan turned what looked like a
slugfest into a quiet pitcher's duel.
But seven Albany runs in the first
two-innings off RPI starter Paul
Daniell, including a five-run second
proved to be enough as the Danes
beat the visiting Engineers for the
second time this spring, 8-6. The
win boosted Albany's spring record
to 11-1 and was their ninth in a row.
While Albany starter Mike Gartman was having control trouble in
giving up two runs in the first on
leadoff walk, a line double and a
sharp single, the Danes were
treating Daniell with equal
disrespect. A Bob Tortorello walk
and a pair of up-thc-middle singles
by Matt Antalek and Bruce
Rowlands quickly knotted the score
after one.
Gartman got the Engineers out in
order in the second but Albany continued the barrage on Daniell, who
did not last the inning. An opposite
field double by Bobby Rhodes
knocked in Tom Verde and Jerry
Rosen, who had hit on back-toback singles. Jim Lynch walked and
Yortorellcj reached on an error to
when, after a walk and a single put
men on first and second, with two
down, Eric McMahon pulled a
Gartman pitch over the left field
fence, and Albany coach Rick Skcel
• went to the hard-throwing righty.
Vaughan, who had pitched less
than seven innings all season, struck
out three, walked three, scattered
five hils and did not allow an RPI
runner past second base while on
his way to his second win in as

was not supposed to play in.
When Gartman's trouble began
in the fourth, both Vaughan, who
hurt his knee last week, and rubberarmed Ron Masscroni (who got a
complete game win Saturday)
warmed up, but when it came time
to take his started out, Skeel turned
to Vaughan.
"I would'vc started him, but I
didn't know he could play," Skcel
said. "But Jimmy did a very very
nice job. He shut the door on
them."

job, Woods was even better. He

Winning Habitual as Trackmen Face SUNYACs
I

by Mare Haspel
For head coach Bob Munscy's
Albany State track and field team,
winning is becoming habitual. The
trackmen destroyed Union and
Marisl colleges on Tuesday in a
triangular meet by the convincing
score of 108-60-17. The twin victories increased the Danes' perfect
record to 5-0 as they prepare for
Saturday's SUNYAC Champion-'
ship meet.
Against Union and Marisl, the
Danes had very little trouble.
Albany captured twelve first places
in the triangular meet.
Howie Williams got things
started for Albany with a first place
finish in the 100-mclcr dash.
Despite just returning from a thigh
injury that had kept him out of action for the last six weeks, Williams
st|ll managed a very respectable
11.1 second run.
Eric Newton look the following
two events. He clocked a 22.9 in the
200-meter run and a 50.7 in the 400
meters. In the absence of number
one sprinter Mitch Harvard,
Newton has done a very good job
filling in, according lo Munsey. "It
shows good depth," commented
Munsey.
Dane Scott James lopped his old
800 meter record with a 1:55.2 in
that event. While in the next event,
the 1500 meters, liruce Shapiro
finished in first place with a timcof
4:03.3. following that was Tim
Kane's 16:05.2 in [he 5000-meter
run.
Steve Decker claimed the
110- high hurdles with a mark of
15.5, as Brian Ragule obtained a
height of 13-2 good for a first place
in the pole vault. Also, Dune relay
teams won both Ihe 1600-meter
relay (3:30.3) as well as in Ihe
400-meter relay with a 44.4.
But perhaps the most impressive
performance of Ihe afternoon was
turned in by Albany's Tim Gunlher
in the leaping events. In the long
jump, Gunlher reached a distance
of 6.10 mclcrs, giving him his first
win oT the day. In the next event,
the triple jump,, Gunlher won
again, leaping 13.51. For Gunlher,
that jump, equivalent to 44 feel,
bested his old personal record by meter throw placed him in second in
Ihe javelin competition, completing
over two feel.
The Danes were unable lo lake a very fine win for Albany.

10,000 Attend SUNYA's Celebration
by Judie Eiscnberg
The fields between Indian and
Dutch quads were fenced- in, the
food area was moved from behind
the Campus center to the lawn
alongside Dutch, tickets were mandatory for admittance and the name
of last Saturday afternoon's event
was changed from Mayfest to
Celebration '81.
Those involved in the operation
of last year's Mayfest said these
changes were necessary to control
crowd size, insure safety and reduce
the strain on university facilities.
University Concert Board (UCB), a
major organizer of the event, said
student cooperation was needed in
order to "preserve this tradition"
and to ensure that Celebration '82
would be held.

Sue SUNYA for Team Cut
{
The Third Annual Human Awareness Program (HAP) held last Sunday through Friday featured a picnic on Ihe lake, Take-A-Prof-To-Lunch, a Teaching and Advising Awards Banquet, and several sports
activities to promote communication and interaction between students, faculty and administration outside an academic arena. According to HAP Committee Chair Mary Beth Lorich, few people attended the
events and virtually no faculty members were involved in its organization. However, she felt it was a success because "the people who got involved really got into the feeling of what HAP's about." Funding for
HAP week activities came from contributions by SUNYA President Vincent O'Leary, Dean of Student
Affairs Neil Brown, UAS and Central Council, as well as an SA income line, said Lorich. The week of
events ended last Friday with the Festival of the Fountains, in which hundreds of students and faculty
members gathered on the podium to watch the fountains being turned back on.

Members or the SUNYA men's
volleyball team have Tiled a suit
against the university with the Office of Civil Rights claiming their
rights were violated when their varsity team was eul and reduced lo
club status.
The team claims thai Title IX was
nol used in determining which
teams would be cm. A student
survey on sludent interest in various
sports which supported men's
volleyball was ignored, said team
member Tom Leahy.
The team also feels its record of
achievement validates its place in
the university. The suit claims
discrimination on the basis of sex
since men were barred from playing
on Ihe women's team.
Last spring the men's varsity
volleyball team was cut in the
budget determined by then Athletic
Director Robert Ford. At that time,
members of the men's team decided
to try out for Ihe women's team.
However, Ford determined this was
unfair since certain rules for Ihe
women's team would be advantageous to men. He noted that
women use a 7-and-one-half-foot
net while men use an eight foot net.
According to Leahy, teams must
be established and maintained on
the basis of a student survey indicating interest and support. In
1980 the men's volleyball team
ranked second on that survey.
However, Leahy said, since there
must also be an equal number of
men's and women's learns, a men's
learn was dropped.
Leahy claims that there is "no
justification" for this since it docsnol adhere lo the student survey.
He says the decision was arbitrary.
"If this can happen to us, not
jusl men's sports but women's
sports can be hurt," Leahy said.
The men's team received club
status and some funding from SA,
since as a varsity team they were
part of the official budget.
In ihe team's five-year history as
a NCAA Division III team, they
had a .713 winning average and had
sent former members to the New
York Slate Men's Gold Medal
Volleyball Team. One rormcr
member was also on the United
States Men's National Team.
Leahy said that since their varsity
status has been cut, they no longer
have priority for money or use of
the gym facilities.
Ted Earl, the coach of the men's
volleyball team, said he is "pleased
that the suit has been accepted (by
the Office for Civil Rights)."
He noted that in conversations
wiih the university administration,
the reasons cited for cutting the
men's team included claims by the
{university that the team used unsafe practice facilities. However,
Earl explained that these facilities

method the Justice Department had for enforcing Bell's
policy was to refuse to defend an agency if It was
challenged in court. Because only a small proportion of
FOIA requests wind up in court, many government
specialists on the act have said over the last several years
that Bell's guidelines made little difference in how the
act was administered. Thus it was not immediately clear
how much of a real change would result from Smith's
announcement. Nevertheless, Jack Landau, director of
the Reporters' Committee for Freedom of the Press,
said, "Unfortunately for the public and press, this unwarranted action by the Reagan administration will
severely restrict the public's right to know government
information under the federal Freedom of Information
Act and will send a clear message to all government
agencies: 'when in doubt, keep it secret'."

ROME, Italy (AP) U.S. Secretary of State Alexander
M. Haig, Jr. announced to the Western Alliance Monday that the United States intends to start negotiations
with the Soviet Union by the end of the year to limit
nuclear forces in Europe. Haig also said at a private
meeting of 15 NATO foreign ministers that President
Reagan sent a lengthy handwritten letter to Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev responding to a letter from
Brezhnev In March. No details of Reagan's letter were
revealed. Brezhnev's letter described his proposals for
improvement of East-West relations. Conference
sources said Haig told the ministers he would have
preliminary talks on limitation of medium-range nuclear
missiles with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko
during the U.N. General Assembly session in
September. Lower-level talks to establish ground rules
might be held earlier, the sources said. At the start of the
meeting of NATO's highest policy-making body, the
North Atlantic Council, Haig reiterated the Reagan administration's view that arms talks depend on Soviet
conduct and that heightened Soviet pressure on Poland
could endanger talks. He said the success of arms talks
would depend also on NATO's determination to abideby a decision to deploy 572 U.S. cruise and Pershing II
missiles in five European countries beginning in 1983.
Syria Defies Reagan
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Syria defied the Reagan administration and Israel Monday and refused to
withdraw surface-to-air missiles from Eastern Lebanon,
demanding instead that Israel be pressured Into halting
all military activities in this war-scarred nation, Western
diplomatic sources said. The embattled peaks thai
overlook the Christian-held Mediterranean coast north
of Beirut, and Zahlc, 30 miles cast of Beirut, were quid
for a fifth day Monday. But there were sporadic exchanges of sniper lire and rockcl-propcllcd grenades
along Beirut's Moslem-Christian demarcation line. The
diplomatic sources, who declined to be identified, said
U.S. Embassy officials in Damascus have been in daily
contact with lhc Syrian government in an effort to have
the SAM-6 missiles removed from eastern Lebanon to
dispel the threat of a Syrian-Israeli military showdown.
But the Syrians remained adamant, contenting that the
sending of the missiles last Tuesday was an act of selldefense after the shooting down on two Syrian
helicopter gunships by Israeli jets near cast Lebanon's
embattled Christian cily of Zahlc, the sources said.
Syria's hard-line stance was underscored by a slate radio
commentary that said Syria would pay no heed to any
Israeli "red line," beyond which the Syrians were not to
venture, and by Syrian President Hafez Assad's charge
that the United Slates was helping establish "Israeli
hegemony in Lebanon." President Reagan, in a cable
Monday to Israeli Prime Minister Mcnachcm Begin,
asked for more lime to solve the Syrian-Israeli crisis by
diplomatic means.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) White House press
secretary James S. Brady, wounded in the assassination
attempt on President Reagan, underwent two hours of
surgery Monday night to place a liny sieve in a vein and
keep blood clots from flowing into his lung, a hospital
spokesman said. Several tiny blood clots were
discovered Monday in Brady's right lung, Dr. Dennis
O'Leary, a spokesman at George Washington University Hospital said. While the clbls were expected lo
dissolve on their own and were not considered
dangerous, doctors were concerned that larger clots
could form which would be "potentially life threaten,

Geologist John Dewey, a SUNYA Distinguished Professor, and Lewis Swyer, an area businessman and civic
leader, will be honored June 13 as 1981 Citizens
Laureate by the University Foundation of .SUNYA.
Established in 1977, the awards publicly recognize one

of leadership and citizenship in their communities.
Dewey and Swyer will he honored at it formal dinnei

SUNYA Grants Increase
In the period from July 1980 through February 1981,
SUNYA received 271 grants totaling $9,925,464. According lo Frank Lucarelli, grants coordinator in llie
University's Office for Research, the dollar amount
represents an increase of more than $3 million over the
corresponding July-February period of the previous
year.
For February 1981, the most recent month reported,
25 faculty members received $290,455 In grants. The
February total is iradilionally low, Lucarelli explained,
because of die federal government's funding cycle.
The largest single award for February 1981 was
$70,000 IO geology professors Kevine Burke and John
Dewey for research on "The Structural and Tectonic
Evolution of the North Anatolian Fault." The Albany
scientists tire considered worldwide experts in the field
o' plale tectonics, the study of continental formation
and chiflW
dropped, Weinstock said.
The debate over the OCA position had arisen after the SA budget
committee'eliminated the coordinator position. When former SA
President Sue Gold reviewed the
budget, she reversed the committee's decision.
However, Gold's reversal was
challenged in Central Council by
member April Gray on behalf of
former SA Controller Ira Somach.
The final decision to retain the
OCA coordinator position was
rendered last Wednesday.
Somach had sent a written statement to Central Council proposing
that OCA should stipend one student director at $2,000 per year and
three directors for programming,
activism and outreach al $1,200
each.
According lo Sontach's statement, the OCA director would
serve at least 30 hours per week in
the OCA office "coordinating programs and priorities." The other
three directors would be required to
serve 18 hours weekly in either programming social and educational
activities, serving as the "political
arm" of OCA or "developing
public relations with the student
population."
Somach slated in his proposal
that four directors could accomplish more than one. He wrote
thai OCA should be run by students
since a "proper student perspective
originates with the students and
does not filter down from a fulltime paid person."
Dunlea, however, argued that
paying a full-time coordinator ensures continuity that is unaffected
by SA's end of year transitions,
semester breaks and final exams.
Dunlea also said thai "il takes a

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Irish Republican Army guerrilla Bobby Sands died early Tuesday in the 66th
day of his hunger strike at Belfast's Maze prison, the
British Northern Ireland Officre reported. It said llie
27-year-old Sands, who had campaigned from his jail
cell and was elected lo the British Parliament on April 9,
died at 1:17 am, 8:17 pm EDT Monday in the prison's
hospital wing. His death was expected to bring a new
storm of violence to this British province, lorn by a
decade of bloody underground warfare between Roman
Catholic and Protestant extremists. Sands was the 13th
' Irish nationalist hunger striker to die in British jails this
century and the first to perish in Northern Ireland. The
Northern Ireland Office issued a statement saying: "Mr.

ALBANY, N.V. (AP) A newly formed stale Council on
Occupational Safety and Health, in its first meeting of
delegates, has opposed closing of New York State offices of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Seventy labor representatives met Sunday
to elect officers. The lobbying organization claims to
comprise seven regional councils across New York,
representing 130 labor unions and more than 1 million
workers. "The closing of OSHA offices will cause
delays in obtaining inspections, particularly in imminent
danger situations," the council's unanimously approved
resolution staled. Federal officials have already announced the closing of OSHA offices in Rochester and
Westchester County, organizer Sean Turlcy said. "Thecommitment to a healthful and safe worksite is being
totally destroyed," said Chris Keogan of Auburn, who
was elected chairman. Keogan represents Auburn Fire
Fighters Local 1446. The organization resolved to oppose budget cuts for OSHA and the National Institute
of Occupational Safety and Health and claimed
workers' rights to participate in workplace inspections
Bell Policy Rescinded
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) Attorney General William
French Smith today lightened (he policy on release of
government documents to citizens under the Freedom of
Information Act. In a memorandum to the heads of all
federal departments and agencies, the attorney general
rescinded a policy established by the Carter administration's first attorney general, Griffin Bell. The Bell
policy, which was Issued May 5, 1977, told federal agencies they should not use technical exemptions provided
by the act for withholding requested documents and
should make Ihcm available unless disclosure would be
"demonstrably harmful" to the government. The new
guidelines say federal agencies should be guided by the
principle that disclosure of agency records is the
foremost goal of the act, "subject to the specific exemptions provided by Congress." Smith also announced
that the Justice Department is beginning a review of the
act for the purposes of proposing amendments to Congress. He said he would ask other agency heads for their
suggestions soon because experience has made clear that
many people are employing it in ways Congress did not
intend. "As a consequence, informants are more reluctant to share information with enforcement agencies,
foreign intelligence services are more reluctant to share
information with U.S. intelligence agencies, companies
are reluctant to provide reliable information to the
government, and other impediments to effective government are created," Smith said. Under the act, the
Justice Department is responsible for providing
government-wide guidance on its administration and lot
defending any lawsuits which arise from disputes between citizens and the government over whether
documents should be released. However, the only

KENT, Ohio (AP) Memorials attended by some 1,200
students Monday quietly marked the 11th anniversary or
the anti-war protest here that left four students dead
from National Guard bullets May 4,,1970. Classes at the
northeastern Ohio campus were suspended from 11:50
am to 2:15 pm to allow students to take part in
ceremonies which Included speeches by two actors from
the television movie "Kent State," which aired on NBC
in February. The memorials were sponsored by the May
4lh Task Force, a student organization. Unlike the 10th
anniversary and earlier memorials, it was held without

Most students who visited the site of the shootings were
in junior high school when the four students were killed
and nine others wounded by gunfire 11 years ago as they
protested the Vietnam War. About 600 people marched
in the annual Candelight Procession on Sunday night,
sponsored by the Ccnler for Peaceful Change. An

Military Officers Meet
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) Military officers from the
United States, Israel and Egypt are meeting in
Washington this week to discuss details of establishing a
multinational peacekeeping force for the Sinai outside
United Stales auspices. The meetings, held through
tomorrow, were begun after the United Stales concluded the United Nations would be unable to create the
force called for under the Camp David peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, said Anita Stockman, a State
Department spokeswoman. She said Soviet opposition
to U.N. sponsorship of the peacekeeping force requires
the United Stales to take the lead in creating it. Among
the questions to be considered by the military officials is
(he composition of the Sinai contingent, Miss Stockman
said. The three-day conference will pave the way for
"political meetings" between the three nations later this
month in the Egyptian city of Giza, Miss Stockman said.
The U.S.-sponsored Camp David accord gave Israel until April 1982 to complete its withdrawal from the mountainous Sinai desert area it occupied during the 1967
Mideast war. The accord envisioned a U.N. peacekeeping force, but the Soviet Union has said it would veto
any proposed Security Council action creating it.

Drinking Age Legislation Debated
by Ken Gordon
Last week State Senator Frank
Padavan released a study entitled
"Why Nineteen" which outlined
legislation that would raise the
state's legal drinking age lo nineteen.
Padavan quoted statistics which
show automobile accidents to be the
leading cause of dcalb in the 15-1019-year-old age group.
"A one year hike in the stale's
legal drinking age would substantially curb llie ever-increasing incidence of alcohol abuse in high
schools and would dramatically
reduce the number of alcohol
related highway deaths involving
young people," Padavan concluded.
However, Assembly Health
Committee Chair James Tallon,
does nol agree wilh Padavan.
"This is nol llie answer," said
Tallon. "Abuse is not going to be
limited. This legislation misses the
poinl."
Tallon favors a program of belter
and increased education and
counseling and belter enforcement
of current laws.
He remarked that raising the
drinking age lo 19 would establish
the age of 18 as a "quasi-adult"
age.
" W e should approach this
legislation with the presumption
thai adulthood begins al age 18,"
said Tallon. "There has lo be a
compelling argument against this
presumption to reverse il."
Tallon recognizes teenage alcohol
abuse as a significant health prob l e m , but feels that this
phenomenon sets in at a much
younger age.
"Public Policy should concentrate on youths of ages 10-13," said
Tallon.
Padavan agrees thai drinking early in life leads to problems later on.

Film Board to Begin Regulating Policy
by Sylvia Saunders
Although Film Board has been
inactive for the past three years, it
will begin enforcing policies
regulaling movies shown on campus, according In Albany Stale
Cinema (ASC) Chair Mike Fried.
Film Board consists of representatives of the major film groups on
campus, two students and a central
council member. The group liaisons
include ASC Chair Mike Fried, International Film Group (1FG)
treasurer Gary Skidmorc, ASC
Direclor-Elecl Diarmuid Qulnn,
Tower East Cinema (TEC) Director
Peter Engel and Fireside Theater
Presidenl Frank Kaspcr. To avoid
bias, the chairperson of the group,
Michael Kellman, is not affiliated
wilh any of ihc major film groups.
The board recently became active
again due to scheduling dlscrepen-
cies this year and problems with
smaller groups showing Ihc same
movies as ihc major film groups.
For example, the tennis team showed the Richard Prior movie while
TEC Director Peter Engel claims it
belonged to his group.
"From now on outside groups
will have lo come to us first lo ask
for permission," according to
Kellman. "Otherwise they won't be
allowed to show them." He said
groups will have to request a film
solicitations permit al least four
weeks in advance. Kellman explained lhat the four-week requirement
is necessary so Ihe group doesn't
book the movie and then be stuck
without an alternative if permission
is denied.
" W e ' r e not out to screw
anyone," said Engel. "But we have
to start enforcing this. Otherwise it
would be unfair. We can't lei other
groups show whatever they want
just to meet their income line."
Fried pointed out that many
smaller groups arc realizing that
Ihey can make a great deal of
money if I hey show movies. "For
example, on No Nukes
or
Clockwork Orange, they can make
a thousand dollars in one shot," he
said. "In addition, these same
smaller groups also gel their films at
lesser rales than we d o . "
Film board has also decided lo
suggest that the smaller groups
charge comparable admissions, so it
will be fair to all the groups.
"When a group charges 50 cents,"
Fried explained, "it Isn't fair lo the
larger groups who have a huge income line to meet."
In addition, there will be a limit
to the number of movies which can
be shown on campus each weekend.
On any given weekend, the three
major groups (ASC, TEC and 1FG)
can each show movies and two outside g r o u p s may schedule
something. "Thai way only five
movies will be offered on any single
weekend," Fried said.
One oilier restriction is that only
the major groups may show x-rated
movies. This, Engel explained, is
because the major groups show a
broad range of movies rated from
'G' to 'X'. He said il wouldn't be
fair for a smaller group which only
shows one movie a year to sponsor
an x-rated movie.
"Hopefully we won't run into
any problems with the new policies.
We're not trying to limit the smaller
groups. We're just trying to protect
the groups which have to survive on
their film profits," Engel said.

Stanley Schwartz, Director of
CUE, Helen Desfosses, Dean of
U n d e r g r a d u a t e Studies, and
Frederick Volkwein, Assistant to
the President, all agree advisement
has improved greatly since 1978,
though all recognize the need to
continue improvement.
What has improved and what
seems to be the major concerns in
Ihe immediate future?
In a February 6 letter to the Middle States Evaluation Team, who
was here last December to decide on
national accreditation of SUNYA
for the next ten years, President
O'Leary wrote, "Several steps have
been taken lo improve advising services and, based on survey
evidence, the improvements have
been successful."
According to Volkwein, Ihe
"survey evidence" primarily
reflects an academic survey done by
Student Association (SA) in the fall
of 1980. The survey indicated a 12

One of CUE'S greatest problems
is the frustration felt by both
students and advisors prior to preregistration. "We are available

a program with SA. in which'
students are available at preregistration to help with immediate
problems which may arise.
"We've gotten a very positive
response," Weinstock said.
The pre-rcgistration program is
funded by SA through a grant from

II only to display Ihe beautiful scene of the
Harvard graduates waltzing In unison on Ihe
lawn. The ending Is also a problem. On a
yachl somewhere, some years hence. Averlll
reminisces about his Wyoming days. Though
It ties up certain loose ends of Ihe story. Ihe
jump through lime and space is jarring and
unjustified.
Lack of continuity Is matched by vague
characterization. This is Ihe result of bad
directing, nol bad acting, Huppert and
Kristofferson boih play their roles well and
The main Issue then Is Cimlno's attempt tc
recreate the reallly of Wyoming In 1890. Il
was an Impossible task that drove Clmlno to
the brink of madness. He made the entire
casl attend bullwhip and wagon driving
classes. He had an antique train that was too
large to (It through tunnels and under bridges
rerouted all over us so' he could have It on
location. He even built two cities. Cimlno's
obsession overtook him and prevented him
from making Heaven's Gate coherent.
Money and time aside, It Is foolishness.
Reality simply can't be duplicated In
with anachronisms. The Harvard shown Is
nol the Harvard of the 1890's but the Oxford
England of today. The Baroque and Gothic
architecture of Oxford cannot pass for the
restrained Colonial of Cambridge, Mass.
Even the Montana landscapes used In the
film don't look exactly like Wyoming. Also,
the characters speak with contemporary
dialects and linguistic structures.
Art simply never can be an Imitation of
reality. Art Is itself a metaphor (or life and as
a metaphor It Is by nature an Illusion.
Therefore, art should celebrate, not mimic.
Heauen's Gale Is the loosely structured account of Ihe Johnson County War of 1890
In Wyoming. The villain Is the Cattlemen's
Association, whose leader, played by Sam
Walerslon, bears a great resemblance to
Snideley Whiplash. There Is. of course, a
good marshal — James Averlll (Kris Krisloflerson), a great-hearted whore — Ella Walson ( I s a b e l l e H u p p e r t ) , a n d
Ihe
"bad-guy-gone-good" foreman — Nathan
Champion (Christopher Walken). Il is a
classic Western plot with a vivid period look
and feel.
The attention lo detail is In fact quite Mauling. Watching this film Is like watching a
photograph suddenly spring lo life.
Everything balances. Everything is Integrated
properly. Everything adds lo the creation of
a lime past. Il Is the past nol of movie (anlasy, but of photographs found in a trunk.
Clothes, guns, glasses, and pens, all have an
authentic appearance that can't be doubled.
To add to this effect Ihe film Is bathed In
sepla-loned soft focus, which further creates
Ihe Illusion lhal this film Is itself from lhal era.
The attention lo reality extends beyond
historical detail. The nude scenes of Ella are
appealing in their freshness. Instead ol the
erotic or quasl-Playboy style poses usually
used. Ella appears Innocent and very human
in her nakedness, making one wonder why
clothes were ever invented. (It Is a pity lhal
this point of view is confined to Ihe treatment
of Ella. Averill's nudily was handled with an
embarrassed sell-consciousness.) Ella's innocence is important. It is Ihe violation of
lhal Innocence. Ihe rape of Ella, lhal provides one o l Ihe most powerful scenes of Ihe
film, and functions as a warning that in Ihe
world of this sioryrlhere is no protection,
and no rules.
Detail would be Insignificant without good
photography. The brilliant cinematography
of Vilmos Zslgmond (Deliverance, The Long
Goodbye, Close Encounters of Ihe Third
King. The Deer Hunter) brings the world lo
life. It's a dreamlike perspective we are
allowed lo revel In. Characters continually
vanish Inlo swirls of dust, steam, and smoke,
all of which mirror Ihe effects of lime. People
are viewed under webs of telegraph wires
and barn beams. They are caged behind
lean-to frames and bunk slats. Zslgmond
makes Wyoming splendid and awful, entrancing and revolting.

he had been raped by a woman, he
found the idea hard to accept and
that a colleague was "frankly
disbelieving."
The doctor reports, however,
that -- in his words -- "The men
who have told us about being
raped, sexually assaulted or strongly coerced by a female have found
the experience enormously upsetting. They have experienced," Sarrel says, "Immediate and prolonged
after-effects similar to the traumatic
reactions experienced by female
rape victims, including the suspension of social contacts and disruption of sexual response."

A new study has found that the
mates of joggers are enjoying an
unexpected benefit; the wives of
middle-aged men who recently took
up jogging say their husbands
became more satisfying lovers after
the men took up running.
However, that same study found
that the runners themselves arc experiencing a different reaction. According to the Stanford University
study of 81 runners and nonrunners, the joggers complain that
their sex lives arc slightly less

they began running.

and that there "has not been much
action" on the part of the university
to attempt to do so.
SUNYA's tenure policy is often
described as essentially "publish or
perish." Martin admitted .that
publishing requirements are strict at
SUNYA, but explained that "as a
university center, there is a difference in the mission of our institution from four-year colleges . . . we
must produce knowledge."
Students have complained that a
professor who spends a great deal
of his or her time fulfilling
publishing requirements would
have little time to devote to
students, but Martin feels that
"good people have time to do
both."
Krosby agreed, remarking that
"publishing cannot be too heavily
weighed.
"If (u professor) is not constantly
reviewing himself, what does he
learn?" he asked. "Is he giving
students the best that can be offered
in the field? A candidate can show
excellence in both teaching and
publishing."

End of a Season:
SA Accomplishments
two years since 1975, to determine whether
we have student support on the campus.
Each year we've run a referendum at
SUNYA, a large majority of voters have
shown their willingness to contribute $2.00
per student per semester out of the student
activity fee to NYPIRG. The purpose of
last week's referendum, therefore, was to
determine whether students wanted to keep
a NYPIRG chapter on this campus-not
whether the student directed consumer
group would be funded with a mandatory
or a voluntary fee.
In the past year, students have worked
with NYPIRG experts to document the existence of toxic chemical contamination In
Long Island's drinking water; to increase
usage or New York's Truth-in-TestingLaw, which allows students and test experts
to scrutinize the standardized testing industry; and to demonstrate that local
emergency response personnel do not know
how to respond in the event of a nuclear
waste transport accident.
' If you believe that NYPIRG's work is
worthwhile, we hope you were not persuaded to vote " n o " on the basis of Mr.
Cohen's misinformation. Whether misled
or not, if you support what we do and want
to gel involved in the state's largest nonpartisan consumer group, give us a call at
457-4623 or attend our General Interest
Meeting which will be held at the beginning
of next semester.

Mr. Freilach mentioned a $3.50 ticket,
which was to cover bus and admission.
WCDB had charged $3.50 for a roller disco
party sponsored by WCDB's Third World

This price included admission and transportation. This unfortunately seems to have
supplied the source of Mr. Frcilach's misinformation.
Tickets for WCDB's Rafters party, an
event which was to take place one week
later (April 9) could only be won by listening lo WCDB and calling in at a specified
time in response to the D.J. on the air. No

A good time was had by all due to the

To the Editor:
We are writing this in response to the letter by Steve Elie (alias Erie) entitled
"Clarification." We commend him for his
efforts even though he was way off base.
Mr. Elie felt that it was his duty as Quad
Board Secretary to respond lo a letter by
Steve Gerber. We presume that this meant
it was his duty to respond even if he knew
nothing about the subject matter (as was
the case).
To begin with, Mr. Elic's comment on
Ms. Snyder's involvement in selecting Mr.
Gerber for Judicial Board was wrong. He
said that, "Ms. Snyder was a member of
that selecting committee and whether she
wanted Mr. Gerber as a member of the
board or not, is not the question. It was a
committee decision . . , " , Mr. Elie was
referring to Mr. Gerbcr's comment on how
ironic it was that Ms. Snyder would select
him to be on Judicial Board and then feel
(hat he was too biased.
The fact is that Mr. Gerbcr's appointment to Judicial Board was a unanimous
decision by the selecting committee. In
other words, il was Ms. Snyder's decision
too. As a matter of fact, Ms. Snyder was

Mr. Elie might feel the need to come to Ms.
Snyder's defense again, but this point was
verified by members of the selecting committee.
The second point brought up by Mr. Elie
was that Mr. Gerbcr's statement was false
when he said that SA applications were not
opened because Ms. Snyder didn't want someone lo gel the job. Either Mr. Elie needs
glasses or we got different copies of the
ASP. In our copy, Mr. Gerber never said
that Ms. Snyder had anything to do with
the SA application process. He merely said
lhal (he application process was not opened.
Mr. Elie seems so eager lo come to Ms.
Snyder's aide that he'll even defend her
against accusations thai weren't made.
The third point Mr. Elie tried to defend

You know it's funny how it takes a whole year before wc all appreciate SUNYA. The sun is shining; the sky is pastel blue and the
fountains are finally on.
HAP Day on Friday was an amazing event. The podium was
crammed with students each jockeying for position to get a good
view of the fountains being turned on. And when the moment
came, the campus burst with happiness. It almost seemed as if the
fountain's water flowed into everyone's veins, providing a fresh
outlook and new vitality. Shorts, tee-shirst, frisbees, sun worshippers and fountain bathers emerged — and it certainly was
about time.
Celebration '81 took place on Saturday and it was a success.
The problems of the past were eliminated and those who attended
were treated to a day of fun, sun and music. Now this tradition's
future is assured.
Yesterday with the temperature climbing into the 70's, the campus continued to be full of life. The podium and fountain areas
were packed with students. Evuyone seemed content to be at
SUNYA. And as long as the weal tcr stays nice, the same electricity will continue to flow all over :ampus.
But all this won't last for long, In just two weeks, spring
semester will be over and many v ill leave Albany for the summer.
Some will leave Albany for good. And even those returning in
September won't be able lo have what we have right now. We'll
have to wait all winter to once again experience spring at
SUNYA. So why nol enjoy the best few weeks lhal SUNYA has
lo offer?

Huge Success"
To the Editor:
University Conccrl Board(UCB) has proven themselves the victor. This year's
"Celebration ' 8 1 " wenl off without a
hitch. Although scoffers and detractors on
Dutch Quad put up signs referring lo
"May-Fence" and "Fence-Fcsl ' 8 1 " , you
couldn't even see the fences, cxcepl when
you walked in.
This year was nice. With only
12,000-14,000 people attending, food and
drink was easier to gel and there was more
room to lie down in the sun. And there were
no lines al the entrance, thanks lo Ihc advance sale discount price implemented by
UCB.
This is a lot considering thai last year half ,
of Hell's Angels showed up al the evcnl.
And because of all the townies, clean-up
became all the more difficult. This year,
because it was a student-only event, cleanup was completed by Sunday morning.
UCB should be applauded for all ihc
time, effori, and abov.c all, patience lhat
they put in. Whether or nol people want lo
hear it, the fences lhal UCB put up, plus the
other changes preserved the event for years
to come. Il was truly a great day.
Now, il" only il was eighty degrees.

There were no problems regarding security at Celebration last
Saturday, according to John
Hayner of the University Police.
"It was mellow," Hayner said.
"There was one fight, bul it was a
minor one. I'm just happy everyone
had a good time."
The Department of Public Safely
hired 40 extra guards lo work the
day of Celebration, .according lo
Assistant Director John Henighan.
He reported a number of incidents
of assault and vandalism Saturday,
which he attributed to the large
number of intoxicated people on
campus.
Henighan also said he was
originally reluctant to support this
event. "I wasn't sure whether my
department could handle the
number of people," he said, "but
under Ihe conditions it went off
well."
Clean-up, which was a large problem last year was also though! to
lyive gone well. "I think we've conquered the glass and safely problem," said Brown, "And 1 can't

single, Rowlands doubled to left
center, and Rivera knocked In the
eighth run of the inning with a
sacrifice fly to right. That brought
up Verde who responded with his
third homer to finish the inning's
scoring.
Albany added four runs in "the
sixth, but it was just icing on the
cake to make the final score 23-7.
In the first game, Albany was
leading all the way behind a fine
performance by Esposito who
seemed well on his way to his fourth
victory of the spring, but it was not
to be. Down 11-4, Onconta's Kevin
Underwood led off the seventh with
a triple and Tom Lorenzo followed
with a double, and he scored on a
single.
Then Torlorello made the first of
the Dane miscues when he took a
grounder in the hole and threw it Into right field. Arcario then bobbled
a double play grounder at third, but.
still managed to get the out at first
base. | Another double and Skeel
brought in fircballcr Jim Vaughan
in favor ol Esposito, still leading
11-8 with a runner on second.
Vaughan walked the bases loaded, but got the next batter to pop to
short right field. Rowlands, the first
baseman, had the play but couldn't
hold on to the ball. He managed to
gel a force play at second base but a
run scored from third.
The Danes still had a chance to
gel out of it with only some scarred
egos when Underwood hit what
should have been a- game-ending
grounder to Rivera, but the second
baseman' threw it low and away to
the outfield side of firs! base to
allow one run to score and put runners on first and second. Lorenzo
followed with his second double of
the inning to drive in both runners
and give Onconta the lead, 12-11,
and Ihey added one more before it
was over.
Albany had one last shot, but
they could only come up with one
more run. Rhodes led off with a
single, but Lynch and Torlorello hit
into force plays. Antalek brought in
Torlorello with a long double to
center, but was stranded there when
Arcario lofted an easy pop to right.
"They didn't beat us, we handed
it lo them," Skeel said, but added,
"If we were ever going to have to
learn a lesson this is the right lime
to do it."
Dane bailers have been tearing
the cover off the ball with the
regulars averaging about .380 as a
unit. They added 31 hits in the
double-header including five home
runs. Rhodes increased his teamleading baiting average lo .484 with
his 5-7 day and added two homers
and five RBIs. Verde added 100
points to his average, now at .354,
and tied Rivera for the club RBI
lead with 20: Rowlands (.429) and
Lynch (.378) also shined for the
Danes. Rowlands collected three
doubles in the second game and
Lynch had four hits, three stolen
bases and three RBIs (12 on the
year) all while batting ninth.
The batmen next meet Southern
Vermont on Thursday. They then
take on Cortland, one of the top
teams around, on Saturday in a
double-header at home.
"We're doing what we have to
do," said Skeel. "If we win the next
two games, split with Cortland,
we're silting just where we want to
be. But," he cautioned, "as I've
said all along, we're going to take
them one at a time."

Costa in the pole vault. He 'placed
sixth behind five vaulters from a
superior Cortland team. His vault
was measured at 13 feet.
Albany was well represented in
the throwing events as Ron Gainor
continued his fine season with a
fifth place in the javelin. His throw
of 165 feet was his personal best.
"He has had a very good spring,"
commented White.
Munsey knew that Scott James
had a tough race ahead of him in
the 800 meters, but just as he has
done all year, James rose to the occasion taking a very close second
place with a time of 1:55.2. Only
eight tenths of a second separated
him from the race winner.
Dane Tim Kane did well taking a
sixth place in the steeplechase, a
3000-meter event in which competitors must jump over hurdles
and water obstacles. His lime was a
10.29.
A final good individual effort
was turned in by Todd Silva in the
10,000-mcter run. Silva look a fifth
place with a lime of 33:57.
The Dane relays also enjoyed
some success on the day. The
400-meter relay anchored by injured sprinter Williams came in
fifth. But the 16,000-mctcr relay did
even better taking fourth with a
time of 3:28.3. That relay t( am consisted of Eric Newton, Tim Gunthcr, Darren Pratt and Tony Ferretti.
"One reason why we were not up
there in the lop was our depth. We
did not have the numbers (of competitors) in the' events that those
teams had," said White. " W e

won their doubles play in three sets,

came when Rob Karen took the
court against Steve Cohen. Karen
defeated Cohen in their first
meeting and Lewis expected the
same in Friday's match. That was
not to happen as Cohen dropped
the first set, but played well enough
to take the next two and the match,
4-6, 6-1, 6-4.
"Karen played very tentatively
throughout the contest. His net
game was just not up to par,"
evaluated Lewis.
The biggest upset was seen in the
number four singles match. Dave
Ulrich and Jay Fertig of Oneonta
were the contestants. Fertig usually
plays in the number five spot and
had lost to Albany's Andy Diamond in the fall. Friday he was to
surprise everyone as he easily overlook Ulrich, 6-1, 6-3.
In the fifth singles even! Diamond lell to Wayne Cutler 6-4, 6-3.
In ordi* to slay even with Oneonta, Russ Kasow had to defeat
George DloGordo, 6-0, 6-4. "The
match was relatively easy for Russ.
He played well and has been very
steady al the number six spot,"
assessed Lewis.
When it came lime to play the
doubles matches, nothing was
decided. The learns were deadlocked al 3-3 and one squad would have
lo take iwo of I he three matches lo
claim victory.

and Comple. The Danes' duo
defeated Oneonta's, 6-3, 2-6, 6-0 to
put Albany on top momentarily.
Karen and Ulrich made the
Danes' lead short lived as they fell
to Arnold and Cutler, 6-3, 6-2. " I
was disappointed with the play of
Karen and Ulrich. I expected much
better play out of them," said
Lewis.
The day all came down to the one
match still in progress, Levine and
Gaber against Karpf and Cohen.
These two Danes had fallen to
Karpr and Cohen in the SUNYACs,
but this would not be the case today
as Lcvine and Gaber handed
Oneonta a 7-6, 6-2 defeat.
"I was very proud of Lcvine and »
also Gaber who has been able to
defeat Arnold in some lough matches. On the whole the day was
much loughct than 1 expected. We
heal Oneonta in the fall 6-3 and I
anticipated the same Friday,"
pointed out Lewis.
The Danes have one match remaining against West Point tomorrow. Albany has never defeated the
Cadets and everyone must play well
in order to overtake them, according lo Lewis.
Following lite West Point match
will be the NCAA Division III tournauK'iii at Salisbury Slate College in
Mill viand. Lasl year Levine made
the tournament and this year Lewis
is hoping I hal Levine, Karen and

The contest came down to the
final match of the day and fortunately for the Albany Slate men's
lennis team, Barry Lcvine and Fred
Gaber toppled Oneonta's Rich
Karpf and Steve Cohen 7-6, 6-2 to
lake the event, 5-4.
There were several surprises and
the first one came when the Dane's
number one singles player, Lcvine,
ousted Karpf, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. Levine
found himself behind 5-0 in the first
set, bui managed to take the next
three games. He eventually lost the
set, but it proved to be n confidence
builder as he took the next two sets
and the match.
"Barry played extremely well. He
lost to Karpf twice in the
SUNYAC's and today Barry put on
one of his best performances of the
year," slated Albany men's tennis
coach Boh Lewis.
In lite second singles match, Fred
Gaber needed three sets to defeat
Dan Arnold of Oneonta, 6-3, 6-7,
7-5. Gaber had defeated Arnold In
the SUNYACs lasl fall, also in three
sets, and this match proved to be
one of the key matches on the day.

Stickmen Get Fifty Shots
But Hartwick Wins, 10-9

Hartwick 50 to 24, but still ended up on the short end of a 10—9 score. (Photo: Sue Mindich)
If any coach has a right to be confused, it is Mike Motla. His Albany
State varsity lacrosse team has been
riding the proverbial roller-coaster
since day one of the 1981 season —
sometimes looking like the kind of
team a coach can point to with
pride, yet often being so inept that
Motta has simply not known what
to do.
Saturday's game against Hartwick is a classic example. Although
the Danes launched an unbelievable
50 shots, 34 of which were directly
on Warrior goalkeeper Mike
Doucette, only nine made it into the
net. Hartwick, on the other hand,

Weak Concordia Trounced by Women Netters
by Robin Brown
While thousands of Albany State
students flocked the Celebration '81
festival on Saturday, 11 Great Dane
netwomen challenged a weak Concordia tennis team on the Dutch
Quad courts. The vibrations of the
music didn't harm Albany's concentration any, as Ihc women conquered their opponents, 8-1.
"Last year we lost to Concordia
6-3," said veteran women's tennis
coach Peggy Mann. "They used lo
have three or four excellent players,
bul now have only one."
Sue Miranda was Concordia's
trump against the Danes. She
displaced Albany's number one
singles player Nancy Light, 6-2, 6-3,
"Nancy played far heller than Ihc
was much more efficient and made
10 of their 24 shots and handed
Albany its sixth loss of the year,
10-9.
"It was just one of those days,"
Motta said with resignation in his
voice. "We couldn't buy a damn
goal." One stretch saw the Danes,
rattle off four shots in five seconds;
without getting a score, and that
typified the troubles Albany had
around the Hartwick net. "With 50
shots we should've had about 20
goals."
While Albany was controlling the
play in Hartwick's end for about
tworthirds of the game, the Warriors were wasting no time in scor-,
ing. Exploiting shoddy Dane midfield play, Hartwick got eight of
their 10 scores on breakaways and
transition plays.
"Defensively, we were totally inept," Motla said. "They'd wind up
just taking the ball up the field."
The one Warrior who feasted on
Albany's errors was speedy Jay
Gilbert who sprung for three goals
and three assists. "He was the only
kid that really hurl us," Motta said.
The one Dane that suffered the
most was goalie Ken Tirman. With
Hartwick streaking downficld at
every opportunity, there was not
much Tirman could do. But after
surrendering nine first half goals, he
settled down to allow only one
more.
"The first half for him was horrendous," Motta said. "For us as a
team it was horrendous."
Albany got the lead first on Tom
Pratt's score, but Hartwick lied il
up and went aheud, 5-4, at the end
of the first period. They extended
their average to their largest of the
game at Hie Intermission (9-6), but
Albany oulscored them 3-1 in the
second hair. Warren Wray's tally
witli 1:50 lo go brought the Danes
within one, but Ihal was il.
Ken DaRos led all Albany scorers
with three goals to increase his
team-leading total to 20 (with six
assists). Pratl added two goals and
an assist and Mike Slocum had one
goal and two assists (15 goals, eight
assisls for second on the team).
Bruce Collins and Dave Faust were
the other Dane scorers.
So while Moita ponders his
troubles, the Danes must contend
with a very good Colgate team in
their lasl home game Wednesday at
3:30.
"We're going lo have to play
pretty well to beat them, and we're
just going to have to straighten
ourselves out defensively," Motta
said.
But who is to know how Albany
will play? Their season has been one
of terminal inconsistency, and nol
even Motta is able lo explain it.
"This learn is a schizophrenic
team," Motta said. "One game we
play great, the next lime we don't..
One quarter we play greal, the nexl
one we don't. We would have a
greal week of practice, and then we
give it away. I can't figure out
why."

"She played better than I've seen
Iter play all spring."
Miranda was Concordia's saving ,
grace as Ihc powerful Albany team
went on to win the remaining
singles matches and doubles matches witlt runaway victories.
Pam Duchin ousted Iter opponent Becky Witt, 6-2, 6-0; Amy
Feinberg hit past her challenger

Phillips overcame Claudia Landaburo, 6-0, 6-1; and Lauren Isaacs
and Sandy Borrcllc beat Eve
Passfeld and Debbie Malcwitz,
respectively, by identical 6-0, 6-0
scores.
Concordia brought six players
wilh litem so their singles players
repeated efforts in the doubles competition. "I only had to repeat one
woman. Lauren Isaacs played in
both a singles match and a
doubles," explained Mann.
In the doubles rounds it was

Sue Bard beating Miranda and Witt

Oneonta Nine-Run SeventhWins Opener
But Albany Slugfest Gains a Dane Split
Oneonta that the Danes' 12-2
record is no fluke.
"We just put on a clinic out
there. We just demoralized a pretty
good ballclub," said Albany head
baseball coach Rick Skeel. "I'm
pleased with the way we didn't lay
down and die and think about the
loss."
"We just came back and showed
them what we were made of — we
showed a lot of character," said
Dane right fielder Tom Verde, one
of the hitting stars for Albany with
seven hits in nine al bats, including
three home runs and 11 runs batted
in.
All of the Danes just exploded in
the second game. Oneonta used
their momentum from the opener to
grab a four-run lead in the top of
the first, but Albany battled back
with four runs of their own in ihe
bottom half or the inning.
Bob Tortorcllo was hit by a pitch
and moved to third on Matt Antalek's double. Tortorcllo scored on
a wild pilch and Antalek scoolcd

by Larry Kahn
When a streaking team loses to
an also-ran there are generally three
things that can happen. They can
get down on themselves and think
about their mistakes for a week —
but the really great teams don't do
that.
Or they can figure that their luck
has finally run out and the law of
averages Is about to catch up with
them. Great teams don't do that
either.
Or they can start a new streak.
That's what the Albany State
baseball team did on Saturday after
suffering what could have been a
demoralizing setback against lowly
Oneonta in the first game of a
double-header, 13-12.
Albany led 11-4 going into the
last inning of the opener behind ace
Mike Esposito, but then the roof
fell in. They committed three errors
in the top of the seventh, including
a sure gamc-ender, and allowed
nine Red Dragon baiters to cross
the plate, giving them only their second victory or Ihe season againsi
14 defeats.
But the Danes didn't think about
their mistakes, and they never really
Massaronl out of the jam with only
one run.
From there on it was all Albany.
Bobby Rhodes opened the Dane second with his second home run of
the day, this one to the opposite
field, to tie the game. Tortorcllo
slashed a double down the left field
line and scored on Antalck's
grounder through the second
baseman's legs. Antalek stole second and came around to score on
Rowlands' double up the power
alley in left.
Albany added two more in the
third, but turned it into a laugher in
the fourth when they sent 13 men to

hits, four walks, two wild pitches
and a sacrifice fly.

Jim Lynch walked and stole second, and when the catcher didn't
hustle after a ball that got away,
Rhodes scored on a delayed steal.
That brought in Onconta's third
pitcher of the inning, still with no

" / have trouble getting along with presidents.
In an address sponsored by
S U N Y A ' s Speaker's Forum,
Anderson recounted many stories
from his career and offered
humorous but sincere perceptions
of the characters involved. He is not
a dynamic speaker, bin a very
reflective and honesi one — and the
effect was nonetheless riveting.
"I have trouble getting along
with presidents," he admitted to a
crowd of approximately 200 last
night. "Jimmy Carter was a nice
man, a decent fellow . . . but his
ambitions outstepped his qualifications.
Anderson said "the real power of
the Presidency is In the office
itself," citing John F. Kennedy as a
President who "had a charisma . . .
an ability lo communicate with people who hold power. And what
power," he continued. "Kennedy
had it everywhere I've been."
The journalist said "It's too early
to judge Ronald Reagan," but
noted thai (Reagan) "may have that
gin."
Alluding to the President's
jocular manner after being shot
outside the Washington Hilton
Hotel, Anderson remarked, "it was
more than just one-liners . . . I
don't know if ii was Instinct or
wisdom, but whal a wise thing lo do
— lo put the country at ease."
Anderson noted that Reagan's
"coming out" was before a joint
session of Congress, at which time
he presented his economic plan.
"Congress wouldn't be sure if their
applause was out of sympathy or
for the economic plan," he explained.
"He has done what I would have
thought impossible," Anderson added. " H e has changed the
economic thinking of Washington
. . . where three months ago, his
economic philosophy was ridiculed."
Anderson spoke of government
bureaucracy, budget cuts, and their
end effect. "(When budget cuts are
made), the bureaucrats don't do
away with their endless committees,
their meaningless reports," he said.
"They cut where il hurts. Then the
deprived people descend on the

Reagan's Budget Proposal Approved by House
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) The
House passed Thursday a $689
billion budget plan drafted to President Reagan's prescription for
economic recovery through massive
cuts in spending and taxes. Scores
of Democrats joined a unanimous
Republican minority to seal the lopsided decision. Il was the finest
legislative hour to date for Reagan,
who called it "a resounding victory,
nol only for our economy but for a
spirit of bipartisanship thai we can
build upon in the months and years
ahead.
"Today," he declared, "the people have been heard . . . let us never
forgcl this historic moment of commitment."
Reagan prevailed by 77 voles in
the more critical of Iwo separate
tallies. He reaped Ihe backing of all
190 Republican and 63 or Ihe 241
Democrats for a margin or 253 to

Reagan declared: "This budget

spending limits within which we
must now work together.
"There is another message here
