Danes Overcome Weather and N.Y. Tech, 41-7
by Larry Kahn
The Albany State home football
season came to an. end with the
Danes overcoming Division I I New
York Tech and the weather in a 41-7
win on Saturday. The. Danes increased their record to 6-3 in the
cold, driving wind and snow. New
York Tech dropped to 4-4-1.
The weather played a major role
in the game and also kept the fans
at home. Attendance was estimated
as less than 100.
" W e did it for ourselves," said
Dane co-captain Chuck Priore, one
of 15 seniors playing in their last
home game. " I f they don't want to
support us that's their business."
The wind, blowing hard from
west to east, made punting very difficult, and the cold and snow made
Ihc ball hard to handle. Both or
these factors seemed to hamper
New York Tech more than Albany.
The Bears turned the ball over seven
times, the Danes only twice.
John Berry, the Bear punter, had
the roughest day of all. He averaged
only 21.2 yards on five punts,
fumbled two snaps and had a punt
blocked — all deep in his own territory.
" T h e i r kicking game must have
cost them half their points," said
Albany head coach Bob Ford.
Albany had the wind at their
backs in the first quarter and used it
to their advantage. On their first
two drives Berry punts of 21 and 18
yards left the Danes al about midfield. On the first they marched 49
yards in eight plays with John,
Eric Newlon and Gerry Wicrzbicki almost blocked John Berry's punt.

Standardized Testing Reform Raises Debate
by Elizabeth Reich
The new prcsidenl of ihc Educational Testing Service (ETS) proposed al a Congressional hearing
lasl week lhal Ihc nation's testing
organizations voluntarily j o i n
together to prepare an industrywide " C o d e of Fair Testing" lo further " t h e principle o f openness in
testing," according to The Chronicle of Higher Ethical ion.
ETS is a non-profit corporation
thai develops standardized tests.
The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
alone is taken each year by 1.3
million college-bound high school
juniors and seniors.
Gregory R. A n r i g , who has been
prcsidenl of ETS since September,
also suggested ETS name a commit;
lee o f outside visitors
from
organizations which have in the
pasl been ethical of ETS to convince the public I hat the corporation is obeying its own "standards
for quality and fairness" and to
assisl ETS trustees in publishing a
yearly "accountability r e p o r t . "
A n r i g claimed that federal
regulation is unnecessary, because
of whal he calls the testing industry's good response lo calls for
increased openness and accountability. He said regulatory legislation
has created reams of regulations,
forms,
and
bureaucratic
guidelines" in the pasl.
The American
Psychological
Association, the American Educational Research Association, and
the National Council on Measurement in Education are now revising
the standards on which Anrig's proposed voluntary code would be bused. Those groups would also be asked lo monitor compliance with the
code.
Last month ETS extended ils
Icsl-dlsclosurc programs required
by New York Slate, to students nationwide, according lo Anrig.
This legislation know as Ihc
" I r u l h in testing" law was adopted
by the New York Stale Legislature
in 1979 after extensive lobbying by
consumer, civil rights, and other
groups. According lo 77ie New
York Times, the law look effect in
January 1980 and "requires sponsors and manufacturers of college
admissions examinations to offer
test-takers the right, al Ihc lime
scores arc reported, to obtain copies
of the lest along with their answer
shcel and a key lo the correct
responses."
ETS was opposed to the legislation because the cost o f lest
development would increase since
questions lhal were disclosed could
nol be reused. They aiso fell lhal
test quality could be threatened
since many more questions w o u l d ,
have lo be developed, The New
York Times reported.
Students who have seen their
tests, due lo (he current legislation,
have found flaws in ETS's grading.
Two different but correct answers
which students brought lo the Service's attention resulted in Ihe Increase of scores for more Ihan
20,000 of Ihc 87,000 New Yorkers
who took Ihc SAT in Oelohcr 1980.

Chemistry Regains its Ph.D. Program
by Bruce J. Levy
The S U N Y A Chemistry Deparlment has re-gained authorization
from Ihc Stale Education Deparlmcni for a doctoral program .
According lo Department Chair
Lawrence Snydei, "having the program reinstated was a hard, arduous process."
The Ph.D,program was suspended in 1977 by S U N Y A Prcsidenl
Vinceni O'Leary aflcr a critical
review by the New York Slate
Education Department,
Snydei explained lhal " a l lhal
lime, ihe slate was culling back on
the number o f Docloral programs
. . . In both private and public
Universities,"
University programs were at the
lime divided into three classes —ihose lo be cut, those lo be continued, and those lo be put on a
three-year probation period, according lo Snyder.
Snyder explained, " W c were one
of those put on probation . . . and
when Ihc program was reviewed, il
looked like ihc report would be unfavorable." Prcsidenl O'Leary ihen
suspended the program on his own
initiative lo give the departmem
more lime 10 re-organizc.
Snydei explained llini "hack in
1979 the decision was made to try to
gel the Ph.D, program back and a
.formal application was made to the
Department of Education."
According to Snyder, several problems uncovered in pasl years were
corrected,
First, recruitment of graduate
students had 10 be increased. To
deal with ihis, Snyder said, "flyers
and brochures were made for
recruitment . . . and stipends to
graduate teaching assistants were
Increased to be mote competitive
will) othei schools."
"Second, out department was
weak in ihc area of Organic
Chemistry, so wc added two staff
members (profcssoi Eric Block and
Assistant Profcssoi Jolun Welch),"
Snyder said.
Otic of the flrsl steps in litis
dcriarlmcnl reorganization was Ihe
hi.nng o f a new chairman.
Finally, reports from an advisory
committee of scientists were given
to ihe University regarding how the
Chemistry Department mighi improve ils performance,
After each of these steps was
taken, ihe Education Commission
recommended on June 18 Ihc rcinslatcmcnl o f the program which
in turn was approved by New York
Stale Chancellor o f Education
Gordon Ambueh on September 4.
" W e ' r e all feeling pretty goiid
around .here," Snyder said, " a n d
everyone is working quite hard lo
see that graduate education works
in Ihc f u t u r e . "
According lo SA Legal Advisor
Mark Mishler, New Yokr Slate law
s p e c i f i c a l l y exempts students
associations in colleges and universities from mandatorily paying their
sludent employees minimum wage.
Bui, Mishler feels, the fact thai
they don'l have to pay minimum
wage docs not mean they shouldn't.
" I ' m amazed that this is even an
issue," Mishler said, adding lhal is
several students were employed by
an outside company paying less
Ihan minimum wage, he felt sure
SA would organize to stop the Injustice.

judged Ihc cighl comely contestants
by their general appearance and
poise, and how they looked in
swimsuits and cowboy outfits. The
winner was appropriately happy.
" I t ' s great to be a winner," exhalted Bernard Fricvalds, who took
Ihc title despite an excess of body
hair.
Fricvalds and Ihc seven others
were part o f a satirical beauty
pageant at Montana State University held l o protest the campus appearance of ihc decidcly more
famous
Dallas
Cowboy
Cheerleaders squad.
The cheerleaders' music and
variety show on campus " i s another
example o f using women's bodies lo
sell a product," contends protest
organizer and MSU housing official
Jan Snout.
S e p t e m b e r , their appearance
brought an all-lime record crowd lo

Icasl the minimum wage be p a i d , "
Mishlcr continued, saying it was
SA's responsibility as a serious
organization to do so.
Mishlcr interpreted ihc exemption in Ihc law as a benefit for these
student associations which don'l
have Ihc funds to pay their
employees minimum wage.
However, he said, " i t ' s my
understanding that's not the case
here," alluding lo SA's present
surplus of over $150,000.
Suydam contended lhal Ihc
surplus in Ibis year's SA funds is
nol relevant in this case; the money
for SA employees comes from Ihc
already appropriated operating
budget.
I f the salai.es were to be raised,
Suydam continued, the money
would have l o come from cutting
group programming or raising the
mandatory Student Activity Fee.
Similarly, Central Council Internal Affairs Chair A m y Adelman
said, " W e don'l believe in slave
labor,' but added lhal SA did have
financial restraints.

Adelman also brought out ihc
fact lhal student employees o f ihc
student associations of hoi It SUNY

However,
Legal

Secretary Andrea DiGrcgorio fell
SA employees deserve at Icasl
minimum wage.
" W c do regular secretarial work
in IheSA office, which wc migln be
paid close l o $100 for in an outside
company," she said.
DiGrcgorio was most upsci over
whal she fell were uneven cuts in
pay.
" I Ihink its very unfair thai (SA
elected officials') stipends weren't
decreased i f they were so worried
about money," DiGrcgorio said.
Snout finds it "sad those women
have been socialized Ibis way.
They're simply used by other people
to achieve oihcrs' goals. I have their
press publicity packet. It is really
gtoss."
To make Ihc point, Snout helped
organize the satirical beauty
pageant and circulate a petition
ultimately signed by 100 Montana
Stale faculty members and administrators.
Snout questions how fairly the
money raised by Ihc cheerleaders'
visit will he distributed.
"It's doubtful much, i f any, of

James Bcall may be the most
warned student in America.
Bcall isn't a hcarthrob or a
criminal. Instead he's at or near the
top o i his engineering class, which
happens to be at Texas A & M —
widely-recognized as one o f the best
engineering schools in the land
(along with Purdue and Cal Tech).
As such, Beall's already been
wined and dined by companies that
wain 10 hire him after graduation.
He expects to be wooed and conned
by dozens of olhcr firms by the time
he graduates later ibis year. He probably won't be disappointed.
Nalionwlde recruiting for engineering
grads is fierce. They are the surest
bets to gel good jobs among the enlire Class of 1982. James Bcall, as
one of the top two grade-getters ai
one of Ihe lop engineering colleges,

" I started Interviewing this summ e r , " Bcall recalls. " I ' v e had two
plant tours and several j o b offers
already, one with a petro-chemical
plant and another with an aviation
firm."
He figures ihat whatever firm he
eventually chooses will probably
slart him ai $30,000 a year " o r
maybe even a little higher,"
Beall's expectations aren't out o f
line. The average 1982 engineering
grad will earn $25,000 next year,
compared to liberal arts grads, who
will be scrambling for average starting salaries of $10,000. Engineering sludenls were less lhan len percent of the 1980-81 graduating
class, but gol 65 percent of the oncampus j o b offers, according lo the
College Placement C o u n c i l o f
Belhlchcm, Pa.
Judith Kaiser, a College Placement Council spokeswoman, says
the current market is far different
from seven years ago, when a recession in ihe wake of the Arab oil embargo slowed indusiry demand for
engineers, and engineering students
actually flocked lo change their majors.
" I n 1972 we had 3495 engineering sludenls enrolled," recalls Dr.
Robert H . Page, Texas A & M ' s
dean of engineering. " H e r e we arc
nine years later with Ihrce times that
number: 11,502."
The reasons for the change are
evident, he says. "Technology is
gelling more and more complex,
and ii has created a great demand
for quality engineers. The orders
are out lo recruit engineering
students."
Engineering enrollment at A & M
is up 1,000 from lasl year, and Page
expects similar increases in ihe next
several years.
National engineering enrollment
has skyrocketed from 195,000 in
1972 lo over 350,000 in 1980.
" I would expect it's up another
len percent for this curreni year,"
speculates Dr. W. Edward Lear,
director of the American Society
for Engineering Education,
" T h e j o b opportunities are
g r e a t , " Lear explains.
"The
average four-year engineering sludenl will have three or four j o b offers before graduation, and will
cam an average of $23,000 to
$27,000 the first year."
" T h e favorable job market has
created significant increases in the
total number of students who
choose engineering as a m a j o r , "
understates Iowa Stale engineering
Dean David Buyland. " A n d most
projections indicate the demand
will continue."

ROTC Ridicule
To the Editor:
Did you know that ROTC follows a
policy of legal discrimination? Did you
know Ihai ROTC advertisements and pamphlets are deceptive and misleading?
The following statement appeared in an
ROTC advertisement in Ihe November 4
issue of Ihe ASP. "The Army offers college
sophomores ihc opportunity to earn an officer's commission in Iwo years."
This statement implies that Ihe opportunity is open to all college sophomores.
This implication is false. ROTC is nol an
equal opportunity employer. ROTC
upholds a policy of legal discrimination
against people based on their sexual and affeclional prcfet enccs, Homosexuals cannoi
become commissioned officers.
I think il is unfair that I heir policy toward
lesbian and gays is not clearly slated In
ROTC advertisements. ROTC should make
Ihis policy clear lo people before they gel
involved in the program.
I am surprised ihal ihis university allows
the presence of an organization which legally discriminates against homosexuals. In lire
spring of 1980, President Vincent O'l.caty
issued a non-disciimination policy based on
people's sexual and affcclional preferences.
This policy statement and ROTC's
discriminatory policy arc clearly Incongiucni.
The university attempts lo justify this apparent contradiction by allowing lesbians
and gays to lake military training courses
offered by ROTC on campus. ROTC training courses iuc of little use lo homosexual
students who arc barred from the possibility
of cvei becoming a commissioned military
officer.
Although the discriminatory recruitment
process takes place here on SUNYA campus, the university docs not uphold the
policy of non-discrimination issued hy
President O'l.caty. The rationale is the actual commission begins after graduation
which is out of the jurisdiction of the
university,
Since ROTC is deceiving on the issue of
equal opportunity, the ncx.i_ time you look
at an ROTC brochure consider the other
ways they may he misleading you.

about three days and my roommate asked
me to go over with him and meet the guy
next door. This guy pulled out a small
cellophane bag of pot. He informed us
Ihal Is was Panama Red. No big deal. I
thought: I'd smoked pot before.
Twenly minutes later I excused myself
and went to my room. I lied down on my
bed and waited to die.
Most of my other experiences with pot
were more pleasant. As a matter of fact, I
began to love getting high and listening lo
spacy music. Frank Zappa stood out from
the rest. I think It was his bizarre story of
"Billy the Mountain" that did II. Billy, who
happened lo be a huge mountain, got Ihc
royalty money for the postcards that had
been taken of him. With all his money he
took off on a cross country trip with his
wife Ethel who was a tree.
By my second semester, I was getting
high every day. To be accurate, I got high
every single day that semester. I kept count
lo make sure. II was as though I was trying
to sel some kind of record — one that has
long since gone unrecognized.
One thing led to another and pretly
soon I was willing lo take anything put in
front of me. As I think hack. I really didn'l
have any good reason for il. but il seemed
like a good idea at Ihe lime.
When I made il back lo my small home
town for summer break, my hair was well
beyond shoulder length.
One of Ihe village sons hail lefl the nesl
lo explore the horizons and had come
home a bonaflde head.
Besides my old friends, the village police
were quick lo notice the change in my
lifestyle. They began lo pull over my reel
Volkswagen for trivial reasons and then
proceed lo search through ihe whole thing,
One night has always stood out In my
mind. Il was around three in Ihe morning
and 1 drove through a flashing red light
(which. Incidentally, was Ihe only slop light
in the entire town) I got pulled over. The
cop. who was one of Ihe slralghlesl
bastards Ihal I've ever known in my life,
shlned his flashlight through my glove
compartment. The light hit upon a shiny
metal object. A gleam came to his eyes —
he thought he'd come across a pipe or
some other drug related paraphernalia.
"What's thai?" he said
" Y o u mean these?" I replied as I pulled
Ihe pair ol pliers out ol the glove
compartment.
He jusl shook his head and walked
away. It was a great moment.
The cops never got me. If anything did,
it was my own mind. Somewhere over the
next two years, among the mescaline and
the dope, a paranoia began lo creep Into
my mind — I began lo think I was losing il

Thai's not really what I want lo do.
However, I might jusl as well finish Ihe

A few months after Ihal whacked out
night with the psychiatrist and Ihe phone
book I stopped taking drugs. Il didn'l last
but I have managed to limit It lo a llllle pot
now and then.
It's good, because with prices the way
they are today. I don't thlhk I could afford

I am silting here, still waiting for a place

t h e m d o w n Ihe toilet. A n d beneath Ihe
city streets are swarms of alligators, posing a constant l i n e a l to Ihe sanctity of
life as w e k n o w it.
Of course a variation of that sewer
story has caught Ihe fancy of college
students, or d i d in Ihe sixties w h e n d r u g

at the University of U t a h , has studied

Legends
( W . W . N o r t o n & C o . ) . H e calls urban
legends "realistic stories that are said to
have h a p p e n e d r e c e n t l y . " S u c h stories
usually have an Ironic or supernatural
twist. T h e y differ f r o m fairy tales in lhal

S o m e of these are r e w o r k i n g s of classic
folklore plots, updated lo the patterns of
m o d e r n industrial life.
T h e a u t o m o b i l e is a c o m m o n participant in these tales. " T h e V a n i s h i n g H i t c h h i k e r " is of an old horse a n d b u g g y

"typically told in a d a r k e n e d
d o r m i t o r y r o o m w i t h fellow students

A y o u n g couple was driving out towards

waiting, gelling more and
more
f r i g h t e n e d , especially since she keeps
hearing "scratch. , . scratch. . .

Finally a c o p comes by and helps her
oul of Ihe car a n d lells her not to l o o k
back. Of course, she does, and sees her
b o y f r i e n d hanging f r o m the tree, his feel
scraping against the roof.
T h e slory has many variants (such as
the girl's hair turning w h i t e — in fact,
m a n y p o p u l a r legends end with a victim's hair turning w h i t e ) , but Ihey all
share a quality. M a n y of the listeners
believe it I r u e , a n d k n o w Ihat II h a p p e n ed "right near w h e r e 1 l i v e . "
M a n y of the legends are atlempts lo
reconcile fears of future shock. T h e
" C a l In T h e M i c r o w a v e " concerns a
w o m a n w h o m a d e the mlslake of
washing her cat and d r y i n g it in the

" I r u e r " version has the cat c o o k e d f r o m

T h e o v e n also plays a part in the
" H i p p y Babysitter" story. A y o u n g c o u ple hires a stranger to w a t c l i their baby
for Ihe e v e n i n g . T h e y call later to hear
that all is w e l l , that the sitler stuffed the
turkey a n d put Ihe baby l o sleep. Of
c o u r s e , the c o u p l e c o m e s h o m e to find
the t u r k e y in the crib a n d . . .
A n o t h e r b r a n d of legend draws its inspiration not f r o m horror tales or ] 984
but rather f r o m the soap-opera existence o f e v e r y d a y life. " T h e Solid Cement C a d i l l a c " is a f a m o u s example. A

songwriter), Gene Taylor (piano), John Bazz

The band is proud of their Amrlcan roots,

T o the Editor:
It has recently come to my attention,
when trying to pick up my tax card, that
there have been numerous problems for
students with ihe accessibility of the
distribution and the obtaining of these
cards.
We, Ihe student body, pay a mandatory
student activity fee Of $77 at the beginning
of each fall semester, This fee entitles us to
many student discounts which we cannot
reap the full benefits o f because of delayed
distribution of these cards.
1 feci that some money should be returned from the original $77 fee. or lhai some
sort of compensation should be made to
those students who have run into complications receiving their cards.
Furthermore, the distribution of these
cards should be handled nunc efficiently in
future years.

I lake for grained I hai Mr. Roihman and
ihe rcsl of our mortal administration has
read Jacques Bar/tin's " T h e Wasteland of
American Education" in Ihc New York
Review of Nov. 5. II is sad that I can also
take for granted thai our administration intends lo do nothing about i i .
M r . Roihman appeals his case lo Ihc
m o n o of the SUNY system: " l . c i each
become whai he is capable of being." And
then he says: "Titus ihc declared purpose is
having reasonable fulfillmcnl In dm
system." And thus we have another failure
of logic.
I don'i know how anyone can assume
thai reasonable fulfillment, which sounds
like immense personal compromise, in our
syslem, which Indicates an Inability lo see
anyililng beyond lite given fabric of reality,
can approach the declared mono of out
university.
How many people subjeel Ihcntselvcs lo
our system, having been inughl nol (oqueslion ihe given ot to imagine the olher, finally to feel a sense of loss, of spiritual desolation? I recommend ihnl Mr. Roihman consldei thai mono again, unless of course ii is
I who reads inocemoielj
M r . Roihman falls elsewhere, lis claiming ilini moral issues are socio-poliiieal pro.
blems, not necessarily lo be deah wlih h)
Ihe university ai large, he lias relinquished
ihc univcrsii) ol its traditional responsibility of thinking ilnoug.h society's m'osi complex problems; and lit has conferred thai
responsihillis upon thosi leiisi .villiny ' '
solve ihcm: politician . coipoiinions, and
lite uneducated.
I miglti also add iliai Mr, Rolhman's real
world is myopic when compared wiili Mr.
Dickey's, Did M i . Kolhinan mention
anything like humankind? Should the
university concent Itself with something so
silly as humanity?
It's lime for the university l o spend more
lime and money on creating an educational
system that would instill the desire for
social goals rather than personal goals.
Also, to develop a responsibility fell for
mankind rather than encouraging the student to fit, like a cog, Into a system which
survives on the oppression of minorities and
third world nations, and which builds big
bombs tltal can blast our world into bitty
little pieces.
—Robert Lerncr
Writing Questioned
To the Editor:
A college publication cannot be expected
to produce articles on the level o f any large
metropolitan newspaper, but certain standards should be upheld. It is my opinion
thai lite ASP lias often failed to uphold
such standards. The student body is continually bombarded with letters and articles
written in a mosi careless manner. One receni article, however, prompted this letter.
Rose Herschherg's column in the
November 10th ASP is a vetitable poipourri o f grammatical errors, historical Inaccuriaclcs and inane staiemenis. She starts
her piece speaking of her unique experience
of visiting New York, and then tells us she
boards ihe familial ' I 7 ' train. She also stales
that her real life menial processes were
begun al this lime. One wonders how Ms.
Heiselibcrg had survived Ihc previous 20
years or so.
She ihcn proceeds 10 expand on her conviclion dial ihc woild is a sorry place in
which lo live by staling two recent
tragedies: the attempted assassination of
ihe Pontiff and her having lo cal all Ihe
Hershcy Kisses due lo a shortage of young
children in her neighborhood.
'Politics seems to be a favorite topic of
hers and she invents nn eleventh commandmenl solely lo break il sir site can air her
views, She is greatly disenchanted by Ihe
sale of Ihe A W AC'S. Why jusl llie
The U.S. has always been the biggest
purveyor o f ihc instruments of death and
ihe AWAC'S arc just anoihei small step
towards doomsday.
Met aiticle continues in a mosi disjointed
manner. She censures the h'iist Lady for hci
elaborate Inaugural dress after telling us
about liei own gold chains and diamond
siuds in ihe second paragraph. Finally, she
ends Iter article with a paraphrase of
Franklin Roosevelt's famous quotation,
" W e have nothing lo feat bin feat itself,"
and then ainibntes il lo Ihe wrong
Rooscvcll.
Thus we sec ihe kind o\' nonsense lhal
passes for journalism altogether loo often
in Ihe ASP, There arc a great many ereaiivc
minds here al SUNYA, and I feel Ihe
siudeiiis are being shortchanged jusi
because a few uninformed columnists arc
icluciani lo pul sonic thought into iheir
work.
—Michael Cuinpnnclli
Military Madness
To the Editor:
I would like to cult attention lo what I sec
;is ii nap in higher education by the mililary
and the Reagan administraiion.
On one hand ihe Reagan administration
is makiny cuts in education aid. On ihc
othci hand, according 10 an article in lasi
Friday's ASP, ("The Campus Military is
Making iis Sales Pitch1*) ROTC and oihei
mined services branches arc offering
scholarships as well as loans.
It scctus that the adinjniMiaiion K taking
iiv i; s i m i . " ! ' , ' ahi|t'\ io finance n college
education and uiviny it back (0 them only il
they join the military.
1 oi matt) students, ii appears the day is
lasi coming when the only way to afford a
college education is through the military.
Sitklenis will have no choice.

Space: The Final Battlefield
The driver of a cement truck in southern California is wiping the
dust off his rear-view mirror, trying to get a better look at a
uniformed technician guiding him and his truck up a narrow dirt
ramp.
Two men who are watching the Earth serenely turning beneath
them engage in idle conversation as they perform routine experiments in their winged spacecraft,
These incidents are more closely related than they may appear.
The two men in the spacecraft are the crew of the space shuttle that
is now circling "Spaceship Earth." The cement truck driver is a
construction worker at Vandenburg Air Force Base, which will be
the site of the military's own manned space center.
Thai's right, ihe Pentagon is going to have its own space shuttles
to play with. Thai's why Ronald Reagan didn't totally cut NASA's
budget — he thinks Ihc space shuttle has military potential. And it
does.
The head of Ihc shuttle program is an Air Force general. The
military is pouring millions of dollars into its Vandenburg launch
facilities. Also, a group in the nation's capital called High Frontiers is pushing for Ihc use of solar power satellites lo exploit the
energy needs of Ihc third world — sort of the OPEC of outer
space.
It seems lhal our government isn't content with the Earth's surface for its war making, so il has decided to expand outside the atmosphere.
Science hasn't been this perverted by the Pentagon since the
Manhattan project. The development of space should be for the
benefit of everyone, nol jusl a few stockholders of Martin
Marinclta, North American Rockwell, and other military/space
contractors.
Space technology can benefit everyone. Satellite technology has
helped in the study of environment, geography, and atmosphere of
olher planets, giving insight into our own planet. It has helped to
survey crop and weather patterns of Earth, giving us a chance to
ease the famine facing much of the world's population.
Unfortunately, space lechnology has also been used for stupid,
wasteful games like sending people to the moon and launching
recyclable spacecrafts with the primary intent of escalating the
arms race.
Let's bring Ihe space program down lo earth. The goal of this
technology should lie lo help solve Ihc serious environmental and
food problems we face, nol to become pari of a dangerous military
build-up.

American League
Best Manager
Elsewhere, i t ' s b u m p e r - t o bumper, rush hour on ihc road lo
ihe playoffs.
Applying a dictionary definition
of mediocrity, i.e., " T h e quality or
state of being intermediate bclwccn
extremes," we're talking about half
Ihc league — or more, depending
on your degree of charily.
Naturally, a .500 record is
perfectly mediocre. The level by
which all other stages of quality oi
lack thereof must be measured.
This laic in lite season, a leant one
game over or under .5(X) deserves
thai label, loo. Some less chariiablc
folks have said Iwo games over or
under deserve to be lumped in
ihere, loo. But then we're talking
aboul half Ihc division leaders.
How would you like lo he in firsl
place with a " s o - s o " tag? So let's
limit it lo 6-4, 5-5 and 4-6.
On the winning side of Ihe ledger
arc Buffalo, Kansas City, the New
York Jcls, Minnesota and San
Diego. The .500 leanis arc Atlanta,
Houston, Los Angeles, Ihe New
York Giants, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay. The losers arc Cleveland,
Detroit, Green Bay, Oakland and
Washington.
That's 16 of Ihe league's 28
teams.
Is that conglomeration llic result
of a balanced schedule, or is ii a
mailer of chance?
A comparison o f ihc pasi six
seasons, 1975-1980, is in order. The
most recent three were "balanced."
Before thai, standings had no
relevance 10 scheduling.
A year ago at this time, 13 teams
were wilhin one game o f .500. A l
the 10-gamc mark in 1979 there
were 15 teams hovering between 6-4
and 4-6. And in I978 ; the firsl year
of Ihe balanced schedule bul corn-
also were again 15 teams in our
group.
Compare that to 1977 when, after
10 games, there were 13 teams
within a game of .500. A n d 1976,
when there were 11, and 1975, when
ing o f f an unbalanced one, there
there were seven.

Basketball is a team game, and the teams that win play it thai way.
No individual should be indispensable, for one injury'could wipe out
an entire team. Each player should play a role, with specific areas o f
responsibility, whether il be scoring, rebounding or defense. Good
learns also have depth, so i f one player goes down with an injury,
another with similar skills can sicp in and do a credible j o b . A learn
lhal loses a key player, and still maintains a winning pace, Ihal is a
learn with a good chemistry. Such is the case with the San Antonio
Spurs.
There has been no heller offensive basketball player over Ihe past
four seasons than George Gervin. Despite a switch in position from
forward to guard, the Iceman has averaged 29.3 points per game since
1977. He is Ihe epitome o f a scorer, and lie is also the hearl o f Ihe
Spurs. When he went down with an injury ten days ago, doom was
predicted, for the Spurs without Gervin were thought lo be like Wilhui
Post without M r . Ed.
The unenviable task o f replacing Gervin went to Ron Brewer, an
outstanding collegian who had failed lo realize his potential in four
years as a pro. In the three games ihal Gervin has missed so far,
however, Brewer has scored 39, 40, and 44 points, and, more importantly, the Spurs have defeated Cleveland, Ihe Knicks and Los Angeles
10 hold onto a slim lead in the Midwest Division.
Why have the Spurs been so successful in Ihe absence o f their besl
player? For one, San Antonio has depth. Not too many N B A learns
can come o f f ihe bench with a player of Brewer's quality. Secondly,
the Spurs have a coach, Slan Albcck, who has drilled the role-player
philosophy Into his entire team. Brewer becomes a substitute piece o f
the Spur puzzle, bill the remaining players' roles are not changed in
the least, and it may be tine that the remaining San Antonio regulars

Take a look, then, the next lime a learn loses their besl player for a

Munscy, however, docs gel infuriated wiih the administration,

is a situation in which there is

by .luilii' Eisenbcrg
SA President Dave Pologe vetoed
Sunday the Ccnlral Council bill
which would have decreased from
$3.35 to $3 per hour the pay talc o f
several SA employees.
" I am dead set againsi the issue
(of paying employees sub-minimum

After Central Council passed ihis

secretaries, Contact Office staff
and Gel-Away Bus coordinators,
Pologe had the choice o f signing Ihe
bill, vetoing i t , or taking no action,
in which case Ihe bill would

Defense Secretary
Caspar
Weinberger, described by Ihe Pentagon as supporting " i h e right o f
free

and peaceful
assembly," ordered a reduction in
the number of special civilian
guards who had been assigned to
shield ihe department from Ihe
demonstration.
Tile size ol the Federal Protective
Service force was reduced from 238
lo aboui 175, the Pentagon said.
Tlie demonstrators, organjzed by
a group calling itself the Women's
Pentagon Action, generally confined themselves to chanting, singing
and stringing the cord.
Five women were reported by
security officers to have been ar-
rested on charges ol' destroying

blood-like substance against Ihe

Much o f ihc demonstrating

Officials said Weinberger saw the
young women arrive in a long
parade about 10a.m. EST but there
was no indication o f his reaction

guards be reduced and hopes that

In addition t o opposition to
nuclear weaponry, the signs and the
songs indicated the demonstrators
were protesting any U.S. Involvement in El Salvador, alleged racism,
alleged sexism and a variety o f other
matters.
