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
keeping two lawyers on retainer, as
well as obtaining depositions from
students denied the right to register
in their college communities and
Trom those county's Boards or Elections, said Fine.
In an effort lo help the coalition
raise fonds lor litigation, Deputy
Speaker or Ihe Assembly Arthur
Eve organized a wine and cheese

Plaza's Convention Center lasl
Tuesday. Fine said between privale
donations and tickets sold al $20

Students Voting Rights Coalition
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'
local politicians Interested in
students as constituent, and may
possibly lead lo more legislation
passed on student-related issues.
The Studcnl Voting Rights Coalition is turning lo the conn system
now only because previous attempts
through other methods have failed.
"SASU has tried for Ihc lasl Iwo
years lo go through ihe legislative
process," Rolhslein said, "but/the

Law School Grad Picked to be SA Attorney
by Jill Langella
The Legal Services Search Committee has chosen a recent Boston
College Law School graduate,
Mark Mishlcr, for the position of
SA full-time attorney.
Mishler is training for his new
position, which will begin in
August, throughout the rest or June
and July, However, he will nol
receive notice o! acceptance lo the
Bar Association until December,
contingent upon his passing the
New York Slate Bar Asssoclation
exam at the end or July.
Mishler said he "will be carcfol
not to present myself as an attorney" before he receives notification from the Bar. Until that time
he will be available to students
through the Legal Services Office
for research and consultation on
legal matters.
SA part-time attorney Lewis
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.
The search committee also fell
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.
Mishler explained that because of
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.

SUNYA students and administrators have shown an Increasing concern this year in the issue of
sexual harassment on campus.
Last January SUNYA President
Vlcent O'Leary issued a letter to the
university stating that sexual harassment as a policy violation "applies
equally to all aspects of campus life,
Including the classroom and extracurricular activities."
This statement followed the
Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission's (EEOC) publication
of its final guidelines regarding sexual harassment in the work place.
The EEOC guidelines state that
sexual harassment is a violation of
Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964. These
guidelines apply for federal, state
and local governments as well as
private employers with 15 or more
employees.
The EEOC has defined harass-

called over nine weeks ago. The
dispute began after negotiations
between the union and company
representatives broke down on
April 25, according to Trailways
Vice president Samuel Hash. The
strike was called for at 12:01 on
April 27.
The main issue In the contract
dispute is the drivers' pay, both
Hash and Scattergood said. The
union, Hash said, "is demanding
more than the company can afford
to pay."
However, Local Adjustment
Committee Secretary William
Laurent said the union is demanding only " a small pay increase"
and a larger cost of living increase
than the company is willing to offer. Other issues, Laurent said, include personal days and accomodations for overnight trips.
Also on strike are 40 mechanics
and 20 ticket agents who are under
separate contract from the 85
drivers. Therefore, the recently rejected contract only covered bus
drivers.
A federal mediator is assisting in
negotiations.

Do you remember the days of ice cream
socials, meetings with advisors and podium
tours that summer you came up for your
orientation session? The curiousity, the apprehension, the excitement of living at this
university for the first, brief time?
SUNYA's Summer Planning Conference
(SPC) is still in operation, handling their
first carloads of incoming students this
week. And the ice cream socials arc still the
same, although there have been some minor
alterations in the program.
Freshmen now have the option of attending either a two or three day conference,
according to SPC Assistant Coordinator
Anne Anderson. Students living far from
the Albany area can now come up on Sunday night, giving them an extra day to meet
people and experience SUNYA dorm life,
Before this year, Anderson said, "people
who wanted to drive up early stayed on
Dutch Quad for the night. Now we take
care of them, under the direction of our
staff."
Freshmen orientation sessions run every
Sunday to Tuesday, and Thursday to Friday throughout the rest of June and July.
Wednesday is transfer day; the whole day
being devoted to advising, registering and
otherwise showing the SUNYA ropes to
those students entering this college from
various other schools. Only one day per
week is_ scheduled for transfers, Anderson
said, because most do not wish to take off
the time from work or other activities.
Slate Quad is the scene for this year's
planning conference; Whitman, Cooper
and Anthony Halls, to be exact. Also housed on this quad arc summer school students
who chose to live uptown and Summer
Plunnlng'Conferencc staff.
There arc one coordinator, two assistant
coordinators, 11 orientation assistants
(OA), and six student assistants (SA) com-
prising the SPC staff. Anderson basically
coordinates the OA's, who deal directly
with the incoming students and serve as
their peer advisors in the dorm. Assistant
Coordinator Ginger Potts is in charge of
the SA's, who handle the paperwork and
the parents.
Many parents come up with their
children, Potts said, and are usually
"interested in anything you have to tell
them about the university. Many arc nervous about housing, about whether their
son or daughter will have a decent place to
live. Most are impressed with the university," she added.
A full day's program is planned to meet
the needs of parents, including slide shows
and financial aid Information, Potts said.

Good Day Sunshine
There's something vey unique about summer at SUNYA. The
most noticable thing is the country club-like atmosphere by the
fountain. Sun bathers lounge on the perimeter of what seems to
be the largest body of water in Albany. The familiar scent of
Coppertone fills the air.
Frisbees whirl over the pool as people cool off in the spraying
waters of the fountain. And looking at this whole scene gives one
a kind of restful inner peace.
But for many there are classes to contend with. The classes,
however, have a more relaxed, laid back feeling. They may
almost seem to be a pleasant way to pick up a few credits, while
being able to podiate and getting a deep dark sun tan.
Then there are the new faces.
Who? You, with the green and white packets. You, freshperson, are the future and new life blood of this school. You should
be prepared for a lot of changes in your life over the next four
years.
And eventually, you will figure out how to find your way
around this concrete jungle they call SUNYA. But for now just
enjoy yourself and keep your eyes and ears receptive to the new
atmosphere around you.
This will soon be your home.
And for those of you who already call this place your home,
relax and enjoy the soothing warm weather. It is certainly one of
the nicest times of year at SUNYA and most people seem warmer
and more responsive.
In about two months fall semester will roll around again and
the dreaded Albany winter will only be a small whisper away.
And it will be a long time before we will once again feel the
vibrant sunshine.

But what really sets the film apart Is the

overkill. Spielberg cleverly cut corners, bringing his film In for twenty million dollars,
ralher than the thirty he could have 6penl.

Experience Faced The Challenge, and Beat It
by Bob Bellaflore
Not everything went according to
plan. Three players decided In preseason that they did not want to
play basketball this year — one
potential starter and two other
substitutes that no doubt would
have seen much playing time. So
that took away the tremendous
amount of depth that coach Dick
Sauers thought he would have at his
disposal,, but it did leave him with
an incredible wealth of experience.
TORT9 rfMLYW
It also confronted the Danes with
a challenge. If they were going to be
any good, Sauers would.havc to use
all of his 26 years of basketball
know-how, and everybody would
be forced to make adjustments.
Rob Clune, one of two four-year

Cesare both fouled out, combining
for two steals in the overtime
against Hamilton. And most of all
there was Gatto, and his two
dramatic crowd-silencing free
throws that gave Albany the
SUNYAC crown over eventual national champion Potsdam.
There were other disadvantages
the Danes had to face, namely a
schedule that provided only 10
home dates (out of 28 games), and
one stretch of five games in nine
days. "This is probably the best
road team we've every had," said

and Cesare came up through the
ranks together. Jednak and Simmons did the same. Simmons and
Clune played high school basketball
together. Stanish and Dieckelman
were also teammates in high school.
And in the pre-scason, they all went
to Sweden together.
"I think it was Important because
It made the team a very close-knit
group,", Sauers said. They were a
very close-knit group — as close a
team as I've ever had.
It is rarely the case where one of
Sauers' teams is led by just one
scorer, or just one reboundcr, or
just one player In any respect. This
season was no exception. As usual,
the scoring was balanced, with
Dieckelman leading the pack at a
13.4 points per game clip. Two
others were within one point: Clune
(12.5) and Stanish (12.4). Cesare
was also close, hitting at a 10.1 per
game clip.
But perhaps a more telling figure
as to their attitude was the number
of assists. Cesare was on top with
101 assists, followed by Clune (96)
and Stanish(88). The 1979-80 team
had more, but they were not as
evenly distributed.
"It's all spontaneous," Sauers
said. "They were all for each other
and that's why they played so well,
particularly in critical situations.
"The reason we had such a good
year is that they were a very
unselfish team."
As individuals, the Danes were
successful also. Four of the five
starters were named to alltournament teams at some point in
the season, with Clune getting MVP
honors in the Capital District
Tourney, and Dieckelman meriting
the award in both the Brockport
and SUNYAC Tournaments. Clune
became the eleventh man in Albany
history to score 1000 points, as well
as leading the team in minutes
played.
But still, like any typical Sauers
team, it was the group effort that
led to success. "They just seemed to
be able to rise to the occasion
whenever there was an injury or an
illness. There was never a letdown," Sauers said. "Even when
they shot poorly, they found a way
to win.

squads," was as good as any team

Business Admissions to be Limited
by Ellen Epstein
The number of students admitted
to SUNYA's business school may
be limited in the fuiurc, according
lo Dean of the School of Business
Harvey Kahalis.
"Enrollments probably will have
lo be diminished, as ihc business:
faculty is finding il almost impossible" lo contend with the expanding
number of business students,
Kahalis said. He pointed out that
even senior level business courses
now contain 50 to 60 students,
which he considers "unproductive
for education."
Contributing to the predicted
decline in business school admissions is the fact that student interest
in business has grown rapidly since
"about 1975 or six," said Kahalis,
while business faculty members are
"very difficult to recruit" and very
expensive (among Ihc highest paid
of any teachers, according to
Kahalis).
"Unless another mechanism to
get into the business school is devised" fewer admissions, and stiffcr
competition, seem inevitable,
Kahalis said. At present, he had no
other specific mechanism in mind.
Kahalis is now in the process of
preparing the enrollment plan for
this year. The requirements for admission to the School of Business
vary each year, depending on the
number of students to be accepted.
In other words, there Is no set
slandard for acceptance to the
business school. But, with the
predicted admissions decline,
students may have to prepare
themselves for a tighter, tougher
admission requirements than in the
past.
Kahalis, who is taking over as
Dean of Ihc Business School for Bill
Holstcin, called Ihc present business
program "outstanding" and is nol
planning to change the general
courses or program. The program is
"pretty much dictated by our accrediting agency," anyway, said
Kahalis, who pointed out that
SUNYA's business school is the only one in Ihc region accrcdiled at the
graduate and undergraduate level.
Assistant to the Dean and Head
of Undergraduate Programs John
l.evalo affirmed thai business
degree requirement courses for
SUNYA's School of Business have
been in effect for thicc ycais and
will nol change this coming fall.
The only program changes
l.evalo predicts will come in effect
after this coming year, when
distribution requirements for all
students arc mandated.
At this time, said Lcvato, all majors may possibly have lo alter in
some way in order "to meet new requirements for the new system."
During a lunch-lime press conference, tlie Honorable Kcilh Norton, Minisler of the Environment
for ttte Province of Ontario, said,
"acid rain is one of the most severe
environmental probtcim (Cunnun)
faces."
In his testimony, Norton said,
"We all share a common airshed.
And willi Ihal sharing comes a joint
responsibility," He said the Iwo
countries have cooperated in the
pasl lo control Iransboundary air
pollution. Bui Canada has adopted
stricter pollution controls, which
should be matched by the U.S.,
Norlon said.
Senator Moynihan said federal
proposals lo disassemble the Clean
Air Aot and leave environmental
slandards up lo the individual slates
would be counterproductive, since
problems such as Ibis require nalional slandards.
He added thai the committee is
"not going to tear up the Act
because someone in the White
House thinks it's fashionable this
year."
The Committee plans to keep and
revise the Act and Moynihan said
they "have Ihc support to extend
it."
Convention Celebrates BogcottSuccess
by Jill Langella .
Nestle boycott organizers from
across the country, meeting in the
fifth National Conference of the Infant Formula Action Coalition
(INFACT) in Minneapaolis, pledged to slep up the scope and intensity
of the international Nestle boycott.
The Nestle boycott seeks to
pressure the Nestle company to
abandon its aggressive marketing
and promotion of infant formula.
The world health community has
found that such proposals persuade
women lo bottle feed their babies
which, if not done properly, may
lead to infections, malnutrition or
even denth. Cases of these afflictions have been documented
throughout the world, especially in
third world countries.
The international baby formula
market is estimated lo be growing at
15 to 20 percent per year. Nestle
controls 40 to 50 percent of the
third world market.
Howcter, Nestle has recently announced thai 'is nel profits declined
by 16.9 percent in 1980. Industry
observers believe the boycott and
publicity contributed substantially.
The INFACT conference, held
on the fourth anniversary of the
boycott, celebrated this news, as
well as the formulation and passage
of the World Health Organization
(WHO) International Code of
Marketing Infant Formulas.
The code was ratified last May in
Geneva by'l 18 nations with only the
"Reagan administration" opposing
it, said local INFACT organize'
Scott Somrher.
"We prefer not to say the United
States opposed it, because .the
House and Senate overwhelmingly
voted on resolutions censuring the
Reagan administration for its
negative vote," Sommer said.
Addressing the conference were
two senior officials in the U.S.
Agency for International Development (A.I.D.), who resigned in protest of the Reagan administration's
decision — Dr. Steven Joseph and
Tony Babb.
"The Nestle boycott should continue and even intensify," said
Joseph, formerly the ranking health
official in A.I.D.
Joseph and Babb received an
award for courage from the conference participants.
Conference delegates renewed
their call for Nestle to negotiate in
good faith. Commenting on the
company's refusal to negotiate in ,
the past 32 months, INFACT's National C h a i r p e r s o n Douglas
Johnson predicted "they'll be more
enthusiastic about discussion when
the plans and energies of this conference show up on their'sales
figures."
