Another One in a Series of Up and Down Years
by Marc Haspel
It is that time of year again and
another Albany State Great Dane
athletic year is quickly coming to a
close. Not surprisingly, it has been a
year of success and failure. A year
that will be memorable for some
and not so for others. But overall
» t h e year 1980-81 will be
remembered as a pretty successful
one. "Another in a string of successful years," according to Albany
State athletic director Bob Ford.
"It's been another very successul
season in terms of individual and
team accomplishments," Ford continued.
And there were many. Though
sometimes a team's record did not
reflect any, there were accomplishments in every sport here
at Albany.
Take the Albany State varsity
football team, for example. The
Danes were 5-5, with head coach
Ford commenting afterwards, "I'm
grossly dissatisfied." He had a right
to be considering the Danes had
received national recognition the
year before.
But this year the Danes had their
problems at the outset of the
season. If a shaky personnel situation stemming from the graduation
of an explosive quarterback wasn't
enough, the Danes had to face
Ithaca College in the season opener.
At that time Ithaca was the defending national Champs (they went to
the finals this year also but lost to
Dayton) and top-ranked in the
country.
Albany did the best it could to
prepare for that game and produced
what was their best losing effort,
40-21.
The 1980-81 Season in Review
Still that might not have been the
worst blow of the season as
Southern Connecticut came in the
following week. The Danes felt that
a repeat of the pTior performance
against Ithaca would be good
enough for a win against the Owls.
Maybe so, but Albany didn't gel
that kind of performance. The
Danes lost 6-2, and for all intents
and purposes the two consecutive
losses dropped the Danes out of the
playoff picture.
Suffering from a losing streak
that had extended over two years at
five games, Albany got on track

New York's so-called "Bottle

Assembly committee vote last week
16-6, killing the proposal for this
legislative session.
Supporters or the bill are particularly upsei wiih Governor
Hugh Carey because he announced
less than 24 hours before the vote
that he maintained his opposition lo
the legislation. Bottle Bill advocates
feel Carey's statement hurl their

In addition, the political lobbying
group Common Cause charges thai
Bollle Bill opponents have made
political contributions to Carey,
totaling approximately $I40,0(K)
between January 1, 1978 and
January 15,1981
The Common Cause report said
that during the same period, anliBoitie Bill forces contributed a total
of $273,000 to Carey and various
state legislators.
"We believe that special interests
opposed to the Bottle Bill have attempted to use their "vast financial
resources lo derail this popular environmental reform," said Common Cause State Director Derick
Berlage. "Campaign gifts of this
magnitude provide the givers with
privileged access lo elected officials and create an appearance of
conflict of interest,"
The report shows thai Carey's
largest single contributor among
anti-Bottle Bill forces was the state
AFL-CIO, with $81,225 in contribulions.
Berlage admitted the slate AFLCIO had other interests besides the
Bottle Bill lo protect, bin added
thai "we don'i believe (the Bollle
Bill) is u minor ihing to them."
Among the 29 Carey contributors
listed by Common Cause were the

gave $7,500, and Coca-Cola Bottling Company of New York, which

Reagan's supply-side economic
theories are debated in Washington,
they're being discussed more and

number of the nation's leading
economics professors.
"With

essential lo give the theory more attention in Ihe classroom than it got

of
Economics, Finance and Legal
Studies at the University of
Alabama. "Unlike most of my colleagues though, I'm waiting to sec

we become its disciples."
"Giving the theory more attention" in the classroom usually
means lengthening lectures lo include possible effects on the nation's economy, both negative and
positive, says Dr. Axel Leijonhufvud, c h a i r m a n of U C L A ' s
undergraduate economics department.
Because of student interest, "we
devote more time lo il, bin we arc a
bit critical of it here," lie says.
Supply-side economics generally
emphasizes culling taxes lo
stimulate businesses, which then
theoretically have more money lo
invest in more productive capacity.
More productive capacity, in turn,
means more jobs.
The approach contrasts with the
theories of John Maynard Keynes,
the British economist who recommended stimulating the economy in'

for certain products, Those theories

Concrete Summer
Welcome home.
T o all those taking a class this summer, welcome t o Finance. Sorry.
T o all those attending summer planning conferences and who are probably
in Albany for the first time, sorry.
Just kidding.
Life in Albany is really not that bad for most, but practically all agree that
the summertime is the best time of year to be here.
Many of you returnees are on your second or even third Albany summer.
For those who are here for their first, a word of advice — buy a fan. This place
can get as unbearably hot as the winter gets cold. But with the heat comes the
podium hanging, frisbceing, barbecuing and relaxation. Relax and think.
Realize your potential this summer. Get a good job this summer (for some,
wishful thinking). Go to dinner with "that p e r s o n " this summer (for others,
very wishful thinking). But above all, relax. That's what the summer is here
for. Yes, summer courses arc a pain, but there's no crime against learning
when it's nice out. Just don't get loo into the work. Find the medium. Do your
work and have your fun.
Hello freshpersons!(?) Welcome lo beautiful uplown Albany. 1 hate.to say
this, especially so early on, but there are a few things you should learn before
you start " l e a r n i n g . " it might not be easy, but whoever said anything was easy
(aside from some upper level Educational Psychology courses that you'll eventually learn about). For one, don't be afraid to ask anyone here where
anything is. We know where things arc and we'll help out. Also, look at those
little metallic campus maps on the podium and the quads. They'll help you get
lo wherever you're going. Lastly (and mosl importantly), be " y o u . " It might
sound stupidly simple, bul It's not as easy as one might think. Everyone at
orientation is in the same boat. Make those friends who you'll look up when
you conic back here at Ihe beginning of September. Browse through your
packets a bit before dumping them. Talk, listen (mostly listen) and gel the Tccl
of Albany State.
Enjoy and good luck.

Sayles Sells Out With Class
' / * j » ' y rlter/filmmaker John Sayles has to
(Jim/'"be
a practicing schizophrenic to do
> ? r
what he does. To critics, though
not audiences, Sayles Is best known as the
creator of serious, non-bestseller novels, and
as the writer and director of the critically ac, claimed Return ol Ihn Secaucus 7.
Jim Dixon
Massachusetts ensemble actors who you
won't recognize and who give performances
of laudable credibility. Considering the low
sixty thousand dollar budget (which wouldn'l
finance a coffee break In Hollywood) the.
level of filmmaking Is fairly high. But make
no mistake about IL This Is a home movie on
thirty five mllllmeler slock, It just happens to
be the best written film In years. Really.
•But this Is not how he earns his living.
How could he? As any English teacher will
tell y o u , writing Is no way lo make money
unless you're Harold Robblns.And.lhen are
you writing? But Sayles wanls to write good
novels, and make Intimate, meaningful films
of quality. Y o u cannot pay .the bills this way.
John Sayles also writes screenplays for
Hollywood's B-movIe moguls like Roger
Corman. Among his credits a n ' Piranha,
The Lady In Red, Battle Beyond The Stars,
Alligator, and The Howling. There are two
distinct sides to this man.
Sayles, who comes originally from
Schenectady, New York (Jusl to prove the
place has something lo recommend II,
beside It being the bull of Kurl Vontiegui's
humor), Is a serious writer. A n d even In
writing shameless B films, he manages In infuse a project wllh Intelligence.
Return Of The Secaucus 7, which is playing In Ihe area, is a touching, funny story if a
group of sixties graduates who have a summer reunion. They've shifted relallons'hlps.
mellowed, and share a nostalgic memory o!
Ihe lime they almost made'll lo one of Hit
last big D.C. depionslrallons, hut got busied
enroule oulslde of Secaucus. The scieenplay
Is brilllanl. Nol since Paddy Chayefsky wrote
naturalistic dialogue in Ihe fillies has Ihe
screen been sprinkled with characters whose
speech \s so real — so YlgViV. The actors are
J o h n S a y l e s ' Return of the
Secaucus
7: " I I j u s t h a p p e n s t o b e t h e best
written Him In years."
Sayles, who appears on screen In his projecis from lime lo time, claims he only does
so when Ihey need a cheap actor. His supp o s i n g performance in Secaucus
7,
however, Is loo good lo loss o i l his acting as
Ihe resull of irrepressible ego. A n d his cameo
as a-morgue attendant In The Howling is one
of the besl bits ol black humor I've seen on
the screen since Jack Nicholson crashed
through a bathroom door to The Shining
yelling "Wendy! I'm home!"
This points out the sensibility at work In
Sayles'. genre pieces. The Howling Is one of
the. besl contemporary horror movies in
some lime, largely because II brings back Ihe
idea of being scared of Ihe unbelievable.
(The knlfe/ax/lceplck/chalnsaw-welldlng
maniacs populating ihe seemingly endless
crop of "Stab'em-slash'ems" has been gelting tiresome.) O n Ihe olher hand,
werewolves are silly. Virtually every plot
twist" Imaginable In werewoll movies has
been long-exploited. Nol thai this means
Ihey con'l be frightening, if done well, bul II Is
almosl unavoidable thai they have lo be al
leasl somewhat comic.
Sayles. co-scrlpler Terence H. Wlnkless.
and director Joe Danle have made a movie
lhal will scare you. It'll also give you a good
case of Ihe giggles.
Bee Wallace plays an L.A. TV newsperson, who Is selling up a meeting with a
deranged murderer In Ihe peepshow booth
of an adull bookslore. The police are supposed lo be on lop of everything, and Ihe
killer will be In cuslody before anything can
happen. The police gel losl. and Ihe reporter
is almosl raped before a rookie bursts In like
Elliol Ness and blows Ihe rapists' brains oul
righl In front of her.
Understandably upsel. she goes off'lo a
Iherapy resorl colony run by a psychlalrlsl
she knows. The olher clients, of course, lurn
oul lo be a cull of werewolves. There are
overtones of Rosemary's Baby throughout,
as Ihe heroine finds she doesn't know whom
she can trust, even down lo her Arian )ock
husband (Christopher Slone) and her
psychiatrist (Patrick Macnee.)
The Howling Is, depending on your point
of view, junk food with an Irreslslahle drcsi
Ing. or hokum for the drive-In natives There
are plenty of gralullous Ihrills. Including ihe
mosl startling werewolf Iransinrmnliuns
you'll ever see; bright, gaudy, neon
photography that doesn't forgel In be
spooky; some good cheap ihrills
both sex
and only marginally graphic violence, and a
few good laughs.-The men who've made this
know H's silly. They're also loo shiewd In
make II an outright parody. The suspense is
real. This Is a straight genre piece lhal wun'i
lake itself too seriously. Lillle visual wall
Jokes are everywhere though (mm Ihe
brand ol chill we see Slim Pickens eallng, In
copies of books like Alan Glnshuig's Die
Houil lying on desks.
The filmmakers here, especially Sayles,
who's done Ihls sorl of thing before, realize
lhal good horror movies have' a sense ol
humor. Mosl audiences don'l wanl lu be
brulalized. Horror movies are escapism, nol
April In Auschwitz.
In any evenl, John Sayles Is a lalenl "no
strong nol l o b e reckoned wllh. And perhaps
mosl admirably, from a movie-lover's pnlnl
of view, he's found a way lo sell oul Willi
class. If he doesn't become Ihe next Coppola, he could bring Ihe li's bai k wllh ,i
vengeance.

"I've missed you so much!" he said, hugging her closer.
"So've I," she said soflly, lucking her head
under his chin. "1- can't believe you came
down here to meet me. How did you know
what bus I'd be taking?"
" I didn't know specifically. I Jusl (Igured
lhal since you always sleep late you'd lake
an afternoon bus. I was here about three."
"You're kidding. That's over four llhurs
ago," she screamed. " O h G o d . you're so
crazyl" she laughed.
" O h , so what. I deserve lo be a little crazy
after this summer. Okay, let's go. I've made
reservalions at Jack's for 7:30. You would
have lo take the last bus." He smiled.
"Wall, I Just wanted to go back and sleep
I'm really tired after thai ride."
"But I wanted to celebrate and everything
All you have to do Is gel changed In Ihi

"What!," she exclaimed, "Now I'll go lo
dinner with you but don'l expect me to unpack and go change In Ihe middle .of a scuzzy
bathroom!"
"Well, okay, bul comb your hair or
something. We've gol a few minutes."
"Okay, okay. I'll be righl back."
They had been separated lor three and z
half months, 118 days according lo her. It
, was all due to the conservative altitude of her
parents, barbaric and archaic, according to
him. There was lo be no mixing of Ihe blood,
no fraternizing wllh Ihe "enemy," no nonJewish boys.
"Well, what do you think of II. Does II
taste good?" he said.
"Ldon'l know. I never had lobster before.
Shellfish Isn't Kosher," she said.
"I can't believe they never let you have
lobster before. Isn't It great?"
"It tastes weird, like shrimp and chicken
bul klnda springy texture . . . like sponge
rubber or something," she said.
" W h y don't they let you have lobsler
anyway? What's the logic behind that one,"
"Well, shellfish Is unclean. They feed off
the wastes of other animals."
"Well, It's slill dumb, like all lhal racial
purity sluff anyway."
She nodded silently. He ordered a second
bollle of white wine, although she only
wauled one. When Ihe desert menu came
around Ihey were too lull to even lift It. The
bill was $73.00.
"We can'l afford this!" site said lo him
urgently.
"Of course we can. 1 saved up Iwo weeks

"Bul what abuut books and things for Ihls
semester. You'll need some money."
"Oh, well, I'll have some money led over
after lulllon and sluff. Like I said, don't
worry." he said with an agitated tone lu his
voice.
" Y o u lold me thai the money led over was
In Ihe bank for gelling started afler you
graduate. You're nol going to go blowing It
on silly Ihlngs like expensive gifls are y o u . "
No. now stop worrying about me, okay!"
He paid Ihe check and led a $15 dollar lip
but asked the waller lo call a cab.
" O h . . . . say. do you Ihink I could borrow, soy five, Jusl for Ihe cab?" he asked
house or something. Anyway, I was wondering if you'd like to . . . "
"Yes," she said back, looking Into his
eyes.
After classes slarled she began lo feel a little restless. One afternoon she met an old
friend. Since her boyfriend was going home
thai weekend she asked her friend oul lo a
movie,
"Michael?!" lie screamed. "You're going
out wllh h|m? My G o d . what are you doing
lo me! I thought we were going steady or
something."
"Wha! do you mean 'doing Ihls lo you'?"
she asked. "1 Jusl dldn'l wanl to sll around
this weekend and twiddle my thumbs while
you wenl home and had a good lime."
"Bul my friends aren't of Ihe opposite
sex!"
"So. H's nol like I'm going to bed wllh him'
quietly.
"Say. we don'l have lo take a cab. We can
lake the bus back,"
"No, I wanl to do this righl. I'll pay you
back tomorrow."
"Okoy. gel In, I'll help you oul of this
one." she said wllh a vague smile. He smiled
back and gol into Ihe cab.
The ride hack was quiet. He reached over
and squeezed her hand llrmly. smiling a
well-intentioned smile, She smiled back.
"Did you miss me?" she asked, almost In a
whisper.
"Wha!?" he asked, "I dldn'l hear what you
said?"
"Did you miss me?"
" O l course. I couldn'l help bul miss y o u . "
"I know, I Just wanted you to say It." she
said. " Y o u know, I really dodove y o u . "
"I know, I love you too." he said and slid
closer lo her. "I Ihink my roominale won'l be
back till tomorrow, He had lo go lo his aunt's
or anything,
"Thai's nol Ihe point. I dldn'l Ihink you
were so bored and restless lhal as soon .is I

" O h , G o d . I can'l believe you're saying
these Ihlngs. It's jusl a friendly evening,
nothing more."
He said uolhlng.
"Besides, why must you he so damn selfcentered. 'Everyone Is afler you; everyone

"I am not selfish. I would give you Ihe
world. Why do you Ihink I spent $00 lot dinner last week!"
" Y o u did It to Impress yoursell! I was

much money spent on me (or no reason al
continued from page two
show, I started teasing."
The teasc/bio concept was an
overnight success, with Kasem using anecdotal introductions to (lie
songs, followed by the " p a y - o f f "
after the song is played.
The approach took him south to
KR1A, then the top rock station in
Los Angeles. Between 1965 and
1967, he hosted a syndicated T V
dance show called " S h e b a n g , " and
in July, 1970, the first syndicated
version o f " A m e r i c a n T o p 4 0 " was
released.
" I t was the wrong place at the
wrong t i m e , " Kasem reflects now,
" T o p 40 was a dirty word. Il was
passe. Everybody lold me lhal term
was the death k n e l l . " .
But Kasem had faith, " I never
believed that disc jockics or T o p 40
would disappear. It's got deeper
roots than any kind o f music I can
think o f . "
He was correcl. From the initial
seven stations i l played o n ,
American T o p 40 has grown to
roughly 500 stations in the U.S.,
plus 400 afiliatcs o f the A r m e d
Forces Radio Network. The show is
not only profitable for local stations — it is the top-rated show in
some markets, and thus commands
top advertising rates — but it helps
clue program directors into new
music trends.
American T o p 40's countdown is
obtained from Billboard magazine.
Inlerviews and research, based on
Kasem's guesstimates o f which so»g
will be most popular, begin even
before the magazine arrives. The
last three days o f the work week are
devoted to final production o f the
program, which is shipped by air
freight each Saturday to its clients.
A l l o f which gives Kasem a rosy
view o f Ihe industry. " I d o n ' l hear
the blandness of the sameness in
radio thai some people say they do.
1 think radio is healthy," reasserted.
But Kasem doesn't shy away
His syndicated television version
o f American T o p 40 is shown in
mosl parts o f the country. Bui
there's more. His production company is helping develop "Portrait
o f a Legend," a summer T V show
on which actor/singer James Darren will hosl tributes lo famous
music figures.
"Fortunately, all my careers are
going at full l i l t , " Kasem said. He
looks forward lo still more projecis
saying, " 1 think down the line I'll
certainly be doing more aclltig and
producing."

next stop: the moon
Moon Flights overbooked: If you
want to take a Pan American
Airlines flight to the moon, you'll
have to stand in a long, long line.
Pan Am reports that 93,000
Americans have already signed up
with that airline to be among the
first to take a journey to the lunar
surface and back again.
These 93,000 would-be space
travelers don't have formal reservations. Instead, they have what Pan Am calls "queue cards" — or
special certificates that guarantee
them a place in line whenever airline
tickets to the moon go on sale.
Pan Am began offering these
queue cards about 12 years ago,
when the Apollo space ships were
making journejra to the moon's surface. However, Pan Am's James
Avey says the program was discontinued because the airline was being
swamped by too many requests.
Avey stresses that Pan Am will
honor these queue cards, whenever
the round-trip moon flights become

when commerical flights to the
mdon will happen, but he says that
when the technology is right and
when the goverment gives the goahead for such flights, "We'll be

Designer jeans tragedy: The
tight-fitting jeans fad has claimed
what may be its first victim.
eat right deer
A Danish doctor reports that an
18-ycar-dld man has been crippled
for life simply by wearing wet,
tight-fitting jeans which shrak as he
slept.
Dr. Bent M a t h i e s e n - of
Copenhagen says that the youth
was tossed Into a bathtub during a
party and later slept for 11 'hours
while fully clothed. According to
the doctor, the shrinking jeans cut
off the young man's blood circulation, causing permanent muscle
damage to his right leg.
Dr, Mathiesen is cautioning
young people against the practice of
trying to form-fit already tight jeans
by wearing them wet. He says many
of his young patients prefer jeans
that are — in the doctor's words "so tight they have to screw
themselves into them."
laugh It off
Giggles make you beter: A good
laugh may be all you need to cure
the blues or what ails you physically.
Dr. William Fry of the Stanford
University Medical School reports
that laughter stimulates the brain to
get the endocrine system working,
which in turn can alleviate some
diseases.
Fry says without laughter we
would be sick much more often
than we are. He adds that once we
are turned loose by levity, hormones are released that reduces tension which is a major cause of pain
and emotional problems.

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of
Pinball: Do children have the constitutional right to play "Space Invaders"and other pinball games in
public?
The weighty question has been
accepted for review by the United
States Supreme Court, after being
debated in the lower courts for the
past five years.
On one side of the controversy is
the town of Mesquite, Texas, where
officials have enacted a ban against
kids playing coin-operated amusement machines. The town's legal
representatives claim that "Space
Invaders" and similar games increase the truancy rates and expose
minors to corrupting influences.
On the other side of the issue is
Aladdin's Castle Incorporated, a
company which has been trying to
open a penny arcade for kids in
Mesquite. The company argues that
the anti-pin ball machine law infringes on a child's fundamental
right. . .the right of free association
and the right to play such games
without a' parent or guardian present.
Don Kosin, manager of a national refuge on Big Pine Key,
Florida, says there were once
thousands of rusty-colored goatsized deer on the refuge, unique to
the Florida Keys. However, now
Kosin reports there are only between 350 and 700 of the species.
Kosin says the diminishing
number of rare deer is a direct result
of the public feeding the animals
junk food from their cars. Kosin
says, "People are feeding the deer
all kinds of junk food — marshmallows, bread, dog food, etc.
As a result," Kosin adds, "the deer
are trying to get near the cars, and
are being killed at a high rate."
According to Kosin, as many as
57 junk food-addicted deer were
killed by moving vehicles in the past
year.

(CPS) The Orcal Money Crisis of
intercollegiate sports has deepened
as it' enters its third year, and now
athletic directors at even relatively
successful sports departments.say
they see fundamental changes in the
way colleges compete as inevitable.
Despite NCAA contentions lo
the contrary, sports directors blame
inflation, state and federal budget
cuts, fiscal mismanagement and the
federally-mandated funding of
women's sports for what ihey now
refer to as "the end of an era" in
college athletics.
The maladies have already
dramatically altered programs at at
least a dozen campuses..\mong the
recent casualties:
•The University of Colorado,
straining under a $1.6 million sports
department deficit, has slopped
funding wrestling, baseball, swimming and gymnastics.
•The University of CaliforniaBerkeley has dropped wrestling,
volleyball, and golf from its sports
list.
•Michigan Stale, in an effort to
save its hockey program, has moved
its team to a different league, which
requires less travel.
•Students al lite University of
Oregon recently agreed to pay an
extra $20 per year student activity
fee lo help bail out their ailing
athletic department.
At Yale, where President. A.
Bartlell Ciamatti lasi year shocked
the Ivy League by proposing lo dccinphasi/c athletics, Athletic Director Frank Ryan says no new cuts are
planned' in the immediate future.
But Yale recently reduced
volleyball, men's gymnastics and
water polo lo "club slalus," which
means Ryan's department no longer
has lo fund them.
"Our situation is stable," Ryan
now says.

Suit Planned for Voting Rights
by Judie Eiscnberg
A Student Voting Rights Coalition has been formed in an attempt
lo expand last October's court decision, allowing college students to
register and vole in Albany County,
lo include 64 counties in New York
Stale.
The coalition, comprised of
members of the Student Association or the Stale University (SASU),
the New York Public Interest
Research Group (NYPIRG) and
others, is planning to file a law suit
on behalf of students in several
counties in order to enable them lo
register and vole in their college
communities.
Besides Albany, Ihe only other
New York counties in which college
students arc allowed to register are
Ulster, Broome and Oncndaga.
According to SASU Vice President Tor Campus Affairs Janice
Fine, the coalition is presently
preparing their case lot trial, lo be
held early this Tall. However, she
said, they must raise approximately
$20,000 for litigation fees.
These Tees include the cosl or

well as obtaining depositions from

raised over $3,000.
More fundraisers will be held lo
gather supporl before the fall trial,
said SASU Executive Vice President
Ed Rolhslein, although "a considerable amount " of Ihc cost has
already been raised.
Their goal is lo register one '
million students in their college
communities nationwide, Rolhslein
said, by drawing upon Ihc supporl
of such national groups as the
United Slates Student Association,
College Democrats, Ihc Studcnl National Education Association and
Frontlash (AFL-CIO's youth
organization). Unlike New York, 47
states allow college students to vote
in the county in which they attend
school, Rothstcln said.
"We wanl lo make studcnl opinions known. Students arc interested in local politics, but if Ihcy
can't vole, they coan't get involved," said Rolhslein. "And their
real influence would by locally.
Students can swing local elections."
In Albany, students account for
over 20,000 potential volers.
Also, Rolhslein said, gelling
students to vole in their college
communities would serve to get'

students as constituent, and may
possibly lead lo more legislation

The Studcnl Voting Rights Coalition is turning lo the conn system

legal matters.

Oliver will still be available for
litigation cases, and the present SA
foil-time allorncy, Jack Lester, will
remain until January to handle court appearances.
II has not yel been decided whal
will happen if Mishlcr fails the Bar
examination.
The Legal Service Search Committee, an ad hoc group of four
students, Oliver and Lester that was
formed to find a new attorney,
realized the disadvantages of
recommending Mishlcr for the position before his acceptance to the
Bar. However, they felt that his experience in housing and consumer
remedies, as well as in draft
counseling, gave him an advantage
over the other 28 applicants.

Mishler would better develop the
Legal Services program, and
pointed out lhat third year
Massachusetts law students arc
allowed to practice law before taking the Bar exam.

the Massachusetts Student Practice
Rule he was able lo counsel clients
and go to court for a neighborhood
legal services office this year, He
said he worked on cases in family
law, welfare benefits, *consu*!er
law, child abuse and neglect, and
y
landlord/tenant disputes.
SA President Dave Pologe, who
had been authorized by Central
Council to contract with an attorney after the search committee
made its recommendation, felt
Mishlcr "showed a genuine concern
for working in a legal services office
rather than in privale practice."
Mishler said he had been looking
primarily for a legal services job,
and that he was interested in working with students.
He is also "interested in preventative legal education, and in
demystifying the law for the
students here through articles and
informal forums" to be held in the
dorms, he said.
Director Dennis Stevens said repairs
began the day after graduation.
In addition to routine repairs,
each year one quad receives extensive repair and a complete paint
job. Quads arc restored on a
cyclical basis. Last year Colonial
quad was done, and this year Alumni quad will get the facelift.
Stevens said this work consists or
repairing bathrooms, electrical
systems, roofs, and exterior
lighting. Also, new ceilings will be
installed in all the public areas on
Alumni, lnsead or the present one
by one foot square ceiling tiles,
which were frequently broken and
labor intensive to fix, according to
Stevens, a ceiling which spans the
entire width of the hallway or
stairwell will be installed. The ceiling was designed and built by the
Plant Department, Stevens said.
Other major plant department
projects include the refurbishing of
roofs on Schuyler and Beverwyck
dorms on Dutch quad. Also, the
vicrotex wallpaper, called ' a
"maintenance headache" by
Stevens, will be removed from the
public areas of Dutch, where the
vicrotex Is a particular problem.
"There are many 'hot spots'
behind the vicrotex," Stevens said,
"where the plaster has crumbled.
The vicrotex bubbles and is easily
lorn." Stevens said the problem is a
result of poor quality control when
the facility was constructed. The
new walls will have a smooth,
painted suface.
Repairs are prioritized by the Office of Residential Life, and Stevens
acknowledged, "we won't get to
everything." Those repairs essential
to a "working room" will be top on
the list, he said.
