Speaking of "The Politics of Disarmament" before a crowd of approximately 75 people in Page Hall,
Citizens Party executive Barry Commoner blasted the military policies of
the Reagan administration which he
said are "eating away at the economic
structure of the United States."
Commoner, the 1980 Citizen's party
presidential candidate, claimed that
Reagan's policies arc taking jobs way
from the American people because
Reagan is shifting money from social
programs to foster a military buildup.
"The Reagan administration is not
culling the budget—military increases
arc equal to cuts in social programs,"
said the slight, grey-haired Commoner.
Every $l billion invested in defense
creates 14,000 jobs, he added, but since
the money is taken from hospitals and
schools where it creates 55,000 jobs, a
total of 41,000 jobs arc lost,
"Unemployment would be 6.8 percent
. (instead of over 9 percent) if not for
military expenses," he said.
Commoner believes a big military
budget not only "destroys economic
growth," but lowers productivity.
"The government is eating up productive capital the economy needs by putting it in the military," said Commoner, arguing that unless military
cuts arc made the economy will remain
weak.
Since the U.S. allocates 15 percent of
its military outlays for nuclear
weapons, Commoner fears the government is preparing for "Jonestown on a
global scale." But Commoner doesn't
believe the nuclear freeze proposal,
narrowly defeated in Congress recent;
ly, would prevent nuclear war.
"We must destroy every nuclear
weapon on earth—that's the only way
to be safe from nuclear war. It's conventional warfare that generates all the
hostility: 26 million have died in wars
since WWII. We must confront the
issue."
Commoner outlined America's
military need as follows: for responses
against threats to its security such as
global war, protection of resources
(Middle East oil interests) and proteciton of its shores. But unlike the
Reagan administration, Commoner
doesn't view the Soviet Union as a
global threat: "The Soviet Union
didn't invade Afghanistan until President Carter announced deployment of
the Rapid Deployment Force (to protect U.S. interests in the Persian
Gulf)-"
Ultimately, the question of whether
there will be a nuclear war depends on
whether the Soviet Union is as aggressive as Reagan believes, and
whether the Soviets arc out to conquer
the world. Barry Commoner thinks
not. Quoting from a Soviet booklet on
nuclear war, Commoner noted that

Bartendbr Randy Flife mixes drinks at the Rat
Many students will not be legally old enough to buy alcohol
New state drinking age can
create campus barring problem
The State Office of Employment
Relations (OER) decided last summer
that thcic has been no contractual
violation of cx-Chincsc Studies professor Yu-Shih Chen's teaching contract following the sudden termination
of her appointment by College of
Humanities and Fine Arts Dean John
Shumaker, according to Vice President
of Academic Affairs Lewis Welch.
An OER hearing represents the third
stage a grievance can reach in the
United University Professions fourslagc appealing process.
Welch declined to outline the OER
decision, only saying that, "The OER
decision did not support (Chen's)
grievance claim."
United University Professors (UUP)
representative John Ryan refused to
specity the exact claim, but panted out
that Ihe grievance is not aimed at Presi-'
dent O'Lcary or Shumaker, and claims
only that a New York Stale law was
broken.
Some Chinese department students
alleged Hiar (he decision not to hire
Chen was affected by a personal relationship between O'Lcary and Chinese
Studies Professor Li-hua Yu. O'Lcary
and Yu were married in late spring.
O'Lcary maintained he has "not influenced or interfered in (Chen's)
case."
Last April, Chen filed a grievance
with Ihe UUP, requesting an investigation into the possible violation of her
contract after her dismissal.
Chen was hired in 1978 as Chinese
Studies department head. She quickly
established a new undergraduate major, and created the China-US exchange program. When Cfren decided
to expand the program, she opened the
part time line, then occupied by Yu, to
competition.
Yu aid not reapply for the job, and
the position was filled.
Chen fully expected her contract

Mob ties questioned
NKW YORK, N.Y. (AP) A special prosecutor
said today that "there remains insufficieni credible evidence" lo conclude thai Labor Secretary
Raymond .1. Donovan once had lies lo mobsters.
In a report to ihe U.S. Court of Appeals,
special prosecutor Leon Silverman also said he
was concluding his 9-nionlh probe of ihe Reagan
administration Cabinet officer.
In his 100-page report, Silverman said there was
not enough evidence " t o conclude that Secretary
Donovan was untruthful when he testified before
ihe Senate Labor Committee and agrand jury as
to his relationship, or lack of relationship, with
Salvatore Brigugtio, William Masselli and other
reputed organized crim figures."
In an accompaning letter lo the appellate court,
Silverman also declared: " T o dale there has been
developed no evidence of any relationship" between Donovan and the gangland-style slaying of
Nalhan Masselli, the son of William Masselli, a
reputed mobster now serving a prison term on a
trueh hijacking conviction.
On August 25, the younger Masselli, who had
allowed federal authorities to record several of his
telephone conversations with a lawyer for
Donovan's New Jersey construction company,
was shot to death in the Bronx.
" O n the basis of the investigation lo dale, there
appears to be no evidence of a relationship between the Masselli murder and Secretary
Donovan," Silverman's report said.

dispersed into larger rooms on ihe livequads, Marionc said. They will remain
in increased occupance al least iwo
weeks.
The overcrowding is largely Ihe
result of "bogus" signups, said Assistant Director of Resideniial Life Dean
Knaplon. A " b o g u s " sign-up occurs
when a suite signs up upperclassmen lo
raise ihcir housing priority. Typically,
ihe "ghost" upperclassmen do not intend to slay.
After iwo weeks, the Residence Staff
will learn where vacancies exist and
assign students lo new rooms, Marlone
explained. The carliesi assigned to temporary housing will be the first moved,
he explained.
Only freshmen and transfers are
t e m p o r a r i l y housed, , c o n t i n u i n g
students are given housing preference.
" W c vvanl lo keep continuing siudcnis
on campus," said Marlone. "We don't
vvani lo discourage them."
In ihe pasi, the number of temporarily housed students has been as
high as 350. This decrease is largely a
result o f declining freshman enrollment, Marionc said.
"Presently, we are housing .100 more
transfers lhan lasi year, bin freshmen
arc out first priority. Any freshmen applying gets housing," he said.
, Marion continued, "The designed
housing facilities are for 6,200
students; we are accommodating
roughly 6,400. We want to house as
many as possible, ihe demand is there.
If we had the facilities wc could house
300-500 more easily."
Marlone expects to run the housing
system by computer next semester,
which he believes will be a big improvement over the present pen-andpaperwork.
Marionc concluded, 'We want to
give students what they want to
acheive—academic success and avoid
hassles. Most important is how
residents feel about living here. It's
more than a place lo study."

M.HI/ll;
Al a chilly April 2 am, nearly 200 semiconscious University of Oklahoma students were
rousted from their dorm rooms at Sanger
Residence Hall by a fire alarm. The alarm
' signalled the start of a $55,000 fire In ihe dorm
television lounge. "Miraculously," campus
police say, no one was injured.
Two days earlier al the University of
Washington, a $1000 fire forced several hundred
students from five-story McMahon Residence
Hall in the early morning hours.
A rash of len fires — ranging from small office
fires lo a major gym blaze — al the University of
Arizona over recent weeks has eosl the university
some $275,000 in damages.
All the fires were the work of arsonists.
In the last year alone, arsonists torched
buildings al Texas Christian, Northwest Missorui
Slate University, Maryland, Washington University in St. Louis, and Michigan State, among
olhers.
The true scope of the problem — which used
lo be thought of as ghetto and business crimes —
can only be guessed at by campus officials.
The most complete statistics, compiled by the
,federal Emergency Management Agency, show
some 4.10 college-related arson cases in I'M).
Before that, says Dr. Herman Weisman of the
agency's arson program, no one kepi slalislics
specifically on campus arson.
" I know it exists," says Gary North, president
of Ihe Association of College and University
Housing Officers. " I ' v e heard ahoul it from
other colleges. But we have nothing in Ihe way of
hard data lo indicate it is gelling worse or gelling
better."
The number of dorm fires has been climbing
steady for ten years, according lo ihe Naiioal
Fire Protection Association. In 1980, there were
iwicc as many major dorm fires as in 1979, with
'damages quadrupling lo $2.5 billion.
A recent insurance industry report estimates40
percent of ail major fires are dclieraicly set.
Reports of campus arson at least seem lo be increasing, Virtually every campus contacted for
this article had a recent arson Incident.
" I don't know o f a major campus with dorm
facilities that hasn't run Into arson problems,"
says Edward Kassingcr, University of Georgia
public safely director and a nationallyrecognized campus security expert.
The motives may extend from simple pranks to
revenge,

New Jersey PIRGS refuse to admit defeat | j 8 9 550S
by an organized, conservative attack
is
C A M D E N , N..I. (CPS) " T h e case is not
settled," stresses Evelyn Liebman.
Liebman, head 61' the Rulgers-C'nmden campus Public Interest Research Group (PIRG),
strenuously refuses to concede defeat to what she
sees as an organized, national conservative attack on PIRGs, the Ralph Nader-founded network of college-based "consumer advocate
groups."
Hut Liebman and the PIRGs ai least lost the
latest battle in August when a federal appeals
court said PIRCi's ftindraising methods raised
serious constitutional questions, and asked a
lower court to re-try the case.
Rutgers students automatically gave $2.50 of
their fees to Hie PIRCi unless they specifically
asked lor a refund. A decision against the
"checkoff system" of lundraising would "have
real significance for PIRGs around the
country," predicts executive director of New Jersy PIRG, Ed Lloyd.
summer, but the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in
August said the lower court failed to establish the
facts in the case before ruling. A new trial will be
I
scheduled soon.
Marshall denies any conservative plot against
PIRGs in general. While no admirer of the
groups, Marshall contends " t h e lundraising
mechanism would be just as improper if it were
going to a conservative group."
Mid-Atlantic was too small to lead a nationwide attack when the case was filed in 1979, he
says. " I f (brewer and lundcr of fight-wing
causes) Joe Coots would have wanted to do it, he
probably would have hired a couple of the
brightest people around and told them to go
crazy."
Marshall also questions if I he time is right for
an assault on PIRGs. " I wonder if 1982 in
America is the best climate for a sudden reexamination of P I R G . "
Directed or not, it is happening. Many PIRG

Rutgers attorney Gregory Rcilly agrees "other
schools would want to be guided by the court's
decision" if it goes against the checkoff system.
Joseph Mar.shall, staff attorney for the M i d Atlantic legal roundiuion, pari of a nationwide
network of conservative legal groups thai frequently challenge liberal causes in court,
speculates Rutgers could have to refund as much
as $1.5 million to current and past students if it
loses.
" I imagine thai administrators out in Wisconsin or elxcwherc would have to look at that,"
Mar.shall notes. " I ' d think that would stop a lot
of PIRG organizing."
Such talk convinces Liebman that this is part
of an orgainized conservative assault on PIRGs.
" W e feel (the lawsuit) was more than just the
three students who sued," Liebman says.
Three Rutgers students sued in September,
1979, soon after the Camden chapter refused to
fund one of the students' proposed "pro-life
study."
They charged the university made contributing
to PIRG a virtual requirement for registration
even though the group was p r i m a r i l y
"ideological," not educational.

The longexpected, forced student migration from expensive private colleges to cheaper four-and twoyear campuses may have finally begun, two justreleased studies suggest.
The primary cause of the forced march, the
studies say, are the cuts in federal students aid
programs.
According to a study by the National Institute
of Independent Colleges and Universities, as
many as 200,000 students have dropped out of
private colleges and universities this year. The exodus of low-income and minority .students is
" m u c h more dramatic than we expected," and
may broaden as this year's cuts in federal financial aid programs exacerbate student money problems, says NIICU's executive director, .lulianne
Still Thrift.
The American Association of Community and
Junior Colleges (AACJC) expects two-year college enrollment to surpass five million nationwide.
The reasons, according to the AAC.IC, include
an influx o f tin- and underemployed people
returning to school and a significant number of
students who chose two-year colleges at least
temporarily for financial reasons.
In some slates, as much as ten percent of (he
students who ordinarily would have gone straight
from high school to a four-year college have
chosen to live at home another year, and attend
cheaper local two-year campuses, the study
reporls.
Such movement suggests the onset o f the
massive "step ladder effect" educators began
forecasting when President Reagan introduced
his first federal education budget in February,
1981.
Federal budget cuts and rising tuition rates
would combine to knock students down the
economic ladder of education, I hey said. The
poorest students at private colleges would be
forced to transfer to less expensive four-year institutions. They, in turn, would displace (he
poorest public college students, forcing them to
transfer to still-less-cxpensive two-year colleges.
And because campuses can accomodate only a
limited number of students, they fear the poorest
two-year college students eventually will be forced out o f college altogether.
The migration out a private campuses began as
a triekly last January, but has grown to a steady
flow now.
The 200,000 who have dropped otil this fall are
"much larger (a group) than we thought, and
doesn't even include the effects of this year's cutbacks," says Thrift.
"Unfortunately, most of the decline was
among students in the $6(XK) to $24,(XX) income
bracket. While some o f our upper-income
students are getting more financial aid, the
number of low-income students gelling aid actually decreased by 40 percent," she adds.
"That means more and more students are having lo pick a school based on price rather than
academic considerations," she assets.

Ifs the alligator in Exxon's sewer
Just like the alligator in the sewer or the
automatic 4.0 if your roommate jumps out a window during finals week, the ASP seems to accumulate its share of folklore, most of it false. It
seems like it would be a good idea to .start o f f the
year on a positive note, so the first editorial of the
new school term is good time to talk about this
paper.
The ASP is run as democratically as possible. The
Editorial Board is made up of the spoTls, news, and
aspects editors, the production and business
managers, and the managing editor and editor-inchief. The Editorial Board elects the editor-in-chief
and can impeach him or her. The Editorial Board is
this paper — all of the policy decisions are made by
the Board, and the editorial policy is ultimatly at
the discretion of the members of the Board.
No one on the paper recieves academic credit for
working on the paper. Most of us don't get paid
cither, although editors are stipended and there are
some salericd positions in the business and production departments. The editor-in-chief makes $900 a
year.
VThc ASP is the only newspaper in the SUNY
system — and one of the few college papers in the
nation — that is financially independent. We
recieve no money from the university or Student
Association, although the university does give us
our office space. One hundred percent of our
revenue comes from the advertising space we sell in

On the road again
last week President Reagan look his traveling
road show to Manhattan, Kansas.
rrnvellng since the show opened in Washington
on a cool January day in 1981, Reagan and his
merry troupe of neanderthal thinkers have succeeded in keeping the American people off balance.
Never slay loo long in one place (including the
While House) is Reagan's mono. Prolonging a stay
anywhere only assists the people in realizing they
have seen this show before and panned it very badly
l he

I i in e.
Robert Martinaro
"Ronnie's I95()'s Revival" supposedly is delivering us from (lie o i l s of our eoiiiemproary
lieaihenisiie culture. The sins of our present
lifestyles,.according to Reagan, can only be aloned
by the actions of our past—or more specifically, the
philosophies of our past,
In Kansas, Ronnie look us hack to the days when
good girls didn't gel pregnant and had ones didn't
gel abortions, prayer started our days in school,
"heller dead than r e d " was the cry of the day, and
real men didn't eat quiche.
Reagan slated he would like the children of today
to begin their school day similar to ihc way Congress begins its day. flashing across my cerebral
seieen were the words "hangover" and "proslitul i o n . " My cynicism is obvious though not necessarily unwarranted.
All specifics aside for Ihc moment, Reagan is taking us back down a merry path into the Eisenhower
years, lie must have lost sight of the passing years
being hidden away starring in all those I) movies. .
Doesn't Reagan realize yesterday's values and
philosophies are of little use in today's world? His
actions demonstrate he failed to even realize that.
Let us examine the component pails of
"Ronnie's I950's Revival" traveling road show.
Reagan's economical program is the cornerstone
of the traveling road show. These programs,
however, have succeeded only in dividing Ihc country and ils people both philosophically and
economically. Inflation has declined; this is'true,
Hut with unemployment rising toward pic-World
War II levels, those of us unemployed or in meagerpaying jobs find inflation secondary to basic survival.
These inflation statistics which the government
throws our way are very misleading and fail to
demonstrate working class reality. A drop in Ihci
price of homes and cars may statistically bring!
down the inflation rate, but a working person can
little afford these luxuries when the prices of food 1
and fuel keep rising. The prices of cars and homes
may offset the rise in food and fuel costs statistical•ly, but they fail to offset each other in our pocketbooks—ihc working person's reality.
Those who can afford those luxuries, needless tc
say, concern themselves little wilii Inflation. Commodity wise, America is turning bp.ck into a two-tier
society. Those who have and those who suffer. The
great American dream of societal parity is not only
dead and buried but obsolete in our mindsets,
Reagan's financial policies do little else than
segregate Ihc economical classes further than ihcy
already arc.
Congress, on both sides of the aisle, has offered
liltJc assistance. Willi sudden need lo readjust ihc
government's financial fooling, il is the working
people who are gelling hit the hardest. While Ihc
govcrnmenl cracks down on waiters and waitresses
and their lips, which arc their sole means of keeping
them above the poverty level, (he fat cats of
America are gelling away, untaxed, with llieir three
martini lunches. Blatant is (he disparity. Criminal is
die thinking. The working person is represented
neither in the While Mouse nor in Ihc Congress.
Reagan's foreign policies are just as archaic as his
economical policies, His stand against the gas
pipeline from Russia lo Western Europe is only one
example.
Ronnie iliinks we will be depriving the Soviet
govcrnmenl of needed and wauled funds lo build
up ils military miglu. Some of the money miglii go
for military purposes. Hut with the Russian harvests
reaping less and less and I he Russian economy
needing financial infusions, an educated guess is
dial dial money will go loward purchasing food and
oilier commodities for the Russian people.
Reagan continues his opposition to the pipeline
by slating thai once the pipeline is in place and
working, the Soviet govcrnmenl could use il to
"each Issue.
Although we're financially independent, wc
strongly keep our ties to the campus. We're an SArecognised group, but we do like to stress that we're
not SA funded.
The ASP is incorporated. That's how we manage
our money. But please don't confuse us with corporations like Exxon, Gulf, and Shell.
We don't have any single binding ideology. Sonic
of us are liberals', some of us are conservatives, and
some of us are progressives. Some of us are Jews,
and some of us are fundamentalist Christians.
Some of us are athiests, and some of us arc Huddists. Most of us share a consuming appetite lor
newspapers, and a lot of us are big fans or the First
Amendment. For that matter, some of us arc Met
fans, too.
When you sum it up, we're students. Sort ol like
you. Like anybody else, some times wc do a great
job and some times wc really blow it.
We've got an interest meeting Monday,
September 20 at 7:30 in LC 7. If you're interested,
drop in there or stop in the offices up in the Campus

Unsafe fire policy
| To Ihe Editor:
_ ^ ^ _ i ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ _
Although I no longer live on campus, a disturbing new policy has been brought to my attention,
ind I feel obligated to speak out. I was shocked to
learn thai the new lire drill policy no longer requires
R.A.'a to open suite doors and check all bedrooms
for people who may nol have heard ihe fire alarm
or wdio may have thought it unnecessary to leave.
I .list December9al approximately 6:15 pm, n lire
broke on I in our suite in Slate lower. Ihe three of
us who were in Ihe suite al Ihe time ran down the
stairs in a hurry, past many people who were slowly
moving along and complaining about lire drills,
remembering Ihe false alarm of ihe morning before.
Everyone left because Ihcy knew Ihal false alarm or
nol, If ihcy were caught in their rooms by an R.A.,
ihcy could be in a lot of trouble. Thankfully, no one
J was hurl. •
Once people understand thai no one will come
looking for Ihcin, they will remain in their suites.
Others who might have left if ihcy had heard Ihc
alarms, may be sleeping loo heavily lo awaken
sjwiihoul someone shaking them. Il is an Interesting
f l n o l c that the woman whose room initially caught
J
fire was the heaviest sleeper .in the suite and could
only be awakened by another person. Since she
slept with Ihe door locked, if the fire had occurred
five or six hours later, she would probably have
burned unless an R.A. was able lo unlock her door
and wake her.
I believe ibis new policy is dangerous, and can
only cause injury in the event of a fire.

ROTC vs. liberty
To the Editor;
As a six year veteran of the University al Albany I
should like to lake this opportunity to voice my
view on the ROTC issue, which undoubtedly will
not disappear from ibis year's headlines.
I read Willi Interest last year's Idlers from supporters and protesters of the program, and I cmpatliize with Rich Icrner's claim that allowing the
military on campus violates basis academic
freedom. After two semesters' worth of statements,
letters and articles I now stand convinced lliat Ihe
Washington's belligerent, self-righteous foreign
policy lo keep their mouths shut. The impression is
existence of ROTC and ils subsequenl scholarship
criteria arc an affront IO all those students, faultily
ana''staff who neither fit nor approach the pro' totypr of sexuality and private behavior established)'
by the government. The line " w i t h liberty and
justice for a i l " is enough for a comedy routine if
our own system becomes deaf to it at opportune
dmes.
My own cdnccra in that th ^military can now exude repressive psychological pressure on those
S U N Y A i n d i v i d u a l s who do not
favor
'also given to Ihe Capitol District that the government's militarism is somehow condoned and supported by the university.
Let me close with this quote from Sinclair Lewis"
II Can't Happen Here as the Rotarians are addressed by General Edgeways:
"Why, here, as recently as three years ago, a
tlcke/tingly big percentage of students were blatant
pacifists, wanting to knife their own native land in
the dark. But now, when the shameless fools and
the advocates of Communism try lo hold pacifist
meetings—why, my friends, in the past five months, since January first, no less than seventy-six
such exhibilionislic orgies live been raided by their
fellow students, and no less than fifty-nine
disloyal
Red students have received their just deserts by being beaten up so severely that never again will they
raise in this free country the bloodstained banner of
anarchism! That, my friend, is NEWS!"
I hope you al Ihe ASP never will have Ihc occasion lo report such news happening al SUNYA.
Good Luck I

two emotional issues to national attention. Rationale has no place in Reagan's adminisnaiinn.
Why not bring two very emotional issues lot people
lo lighi over? The light miglu detract Ihc people's
attention from unemployment and the niicleai
cpicsiion. Divide and conquer could be Reagan's
campaign theme for I9K4.
We, as Ihe people who elected Reagan ami who
can remove him, arc in no position lo I'orgel we aie
unemployed. Nor are wc going to I'orgel thai archaic nuclear policy Reagan is professing, Finally,
we will refuse lo I'orgel his Interference in out personal choices, whether il be our method ol hinli
control, or how, when, and where wc pray.
Reagan's traveling show has turned into a freak
show. Let us close him and his show down before he
tries for another four year run.

do his worst.
The steely Lendl took the
dare and came out slugging. But
he found himself against a
scrappy old warrior who could
take his hardest licks and respond in double measure.
, Grunting, scooting, scrambling for every shot, sometimes
flying through the air, Connors
quickly took the initiative away
from Lendl, who had won 10
toumments and 228 matches
against nine defeats during the
past year.
Within an hour, he had
broken Lendl's grooved power
and won the first two sets 6-3,
6-2. A look of wonder and
desperation showed up on the
dark, sunken eyes of the year's
most successful player.
Connors lost the third set 6-4,
and, upstairs in the TV booth
John Newcombe, a former
champion who had picked
Lendl to win, commented:
"Jimmy suffered back pains
and near-leg cramps in his
semifinal match. It may be a
different ballgame now."
Never temporizing, Connors
won he eigth game to go up 5-3.
Lendl held service for 5-4.
Still one more game. Conners
belted two winners. "Two more
points," he told himself, seeming ready to jump out of his
skin. Then one. Then none as
Lendl erred on match point.
Connors let out a Tarzanic
yell and stood in mldcourt, both
hands held in triumph. Patti
finally smiled. Not Jimbo. He
couldn't repress a tear - No. 1
again after four frustrating
years.

The aging comebacker,
whom tennis galleries once loved to hate, brought the crowd in

case of McEnroe Saturday gives up in sheer frustration.
But Lendl, only 22, was not
playing McEnroe this time. He
was playing OP Jimbo, the alley
fighter, by his own admission at
the crossroads of his career at
age 30, but a guy who has never
found the word "quit" in a dictionary.
In the end, it was a victory for
grit and gristle, guts and gambling instincts over youth, power
and iron discipline.
The match was a stark contrast to the semifinal between
McEnroe and Lendl in which
Lendl's power destroyed the artistry of the man acclaimed by
some to be the finest talent in
the game.
McEnroe never broke service.
He was pinned to the baseline
by Lendl's whirlwind attack.
There was no whining from
Connors in the men's final. His
lips tightly set, his face frozen in
concentration, he immediately
took the battle to Lendl and

The very stingy defense of the Albany State Great Danes only allowed the
Bombers seven points, while holding Ithaca to only 44 yards rushing and 125
yards passing at University Field Saturday
vonlinued from back pane
Jim Butterfield, who has lead
the Bombers to the NCAA Division III playoffs five times in
the last eight years, including
appearances in the finals four of
(hose times and a national
championship in 1979, was
visibly upset with his team's
performance.
"They beat us completely.
We weren't even in the football
game," said Butterfield, who is
looking for his one-hundreth
•^collegiate coaching victory.
The Bombers did have success containing the Danes' running game, which helped open
up Albany's passing attack.
Albany only churned out 125
yards on the ground. Dane
fullback Pat Harrison led all
rushers1 out of the wishbone
with 52 yjiirds.
i "We jever really got the running attack going," commented
Ford.
The Danes now face a two
week lay off as no game has
been scheduled for this Saturday. "We've got to work
hard," said Pratt, orchestrater
of the Danes' air assault, "to
keep things where they are right now."

STAFF MUTEII
The Albany State Men's Tennis team opened up theif 1982
fall season, with disappointing
weekend tournament at West
Point. Although the Held of
teams which included Albany,
Army, Concordia, East
Stroudsburg, Fordham, Iona,
St. Johns, and Upsula, offered
very strong competition. Coach
Bob Lewis was "extremely
disappointed" at Albany's
eighth place finish. Lewis felt
that "no one played up to
capability and that his team was
definitely not tournament
ready."
Playing first singles for The
Danes was Barry Levine. Levine
won in the first round,
defeating Tim Bricker of E.
Stroudsburg, 2-6, 6-3, 7-6. He
• then went on to lose in the
semifinals 6-4, 7-6, to Chris
Gilroy of Concordia. Gilroy
was the eventual tournament
winner in this flight.
Playing second singles was
Rob Karen • 'ho lost to Bob
Sullivan of psula, 6-2, 6-7,
6-4. dave Ulrich played third
flight and also lost in the first
round. Lawrence Eichen, who
played as a freshman and now
has returned to the team, after
not playing for a year, competed in the fourth spot. He
won his first round match by
defeating Miguel Linan of Concordia, but then lost in the second round. His St. John's opponent in that round eventually
went on to conquer his flight.
Dave Lerner played in the
fifth singles spot. He defeated
Scott Monet of Iona, 6-2, 6-0.
He then lost to Neil Fern of East
Stroudsberg who also went on
to win the tourney.
Rounding out the singles
squad was freshman Dave
Grossman. He lost to Chris
Wilson of Army 7-5, 6-0.

Welcome Back
The teams' goals for the
season includes winning the
SUNYACS, which they have
won the past three seasons.
Another priority is to improve
their finish in our own Great
Dane tournament. Albany has
never finished better than
eighth, out of a field of eight.
The team hopes to improve
quickly, but they have their
work cut out for them, because
of the short fall season. If they
can get ready in time, Albany
State should provide tough
competition to all their opponents.

the only player to win in the
consolation round.
With Fred Gaber out with a
knee injury, the Albany doubles
teams also had a dismal day.
The one, two, and three flights
at Levine-Lerner, EichenUlrich, and Grossman-Todd
Schmidt, all lost in the first
round of action.
Despite the netters unimpressive performance, Coach
Lewis felt that with a great deal
of hard work, the Danes have a
potentially strong team.
However Lewis said, "I was extremely dissapoihted and have
no excuses. I am disappointed
in my players coming back to
school not ready to play. They
have let themselves and their
teammates down. They will be
working extra hardin getting
ready for season, and as coach,
I will see to that."
The coach does feel he has a
reasonably strong team ' with
potential. All his players are
back from last season which includes his top five singles
players. Last year's sixth top
man, Russ Casow did transfer,
but Lewis feels freshman Dave
Grossman is stronger than
Casow and will fill this void.

"You could sec his potcnlial
in training camp," Raiders
quarterback Jim Plunkctl
said,"but I really didn't think
he'd be so good so soon."
How good? "Marcus is a
subcrb football player—a greal
one, not just good," 49ers
coach Bill Walsh exclaimed. "I
imagine he'll be the NFL rookie
of the year."
New England's Tony Collins
had a big day on the ground and
on the receiving end. He rushed
for 137 yards—54 of them on
one jaunt—and caught four
passes for 56 yards, including a
15-yard 71) loss as the Patriots'
rookie coach, Ron Meyer, made
a successful debut with a 24-13
victory over the Baltimore Colls
and their rookie coach, Frank
Kush;
Eddie l.ee Ivcry, Green Bay's
banged-up back in two of his
three pro seasons, got 1982 off
to a bang with 109 yards and a
pair of touchdowns against Los
Angeles as the Packers rallied
from a 23-0 deficit lo a 35-23
victory.
In Seattle, Cleveland's Mike
Pruitt rippled through the
Seahawks for 136 yards and two
touchdowns as the Browns won
21-7, while Andra Franklin contributed 103 rushing yards and
two TDs to Miami's 45-28 battering of the Jets in New York.
Even Billy Sims, Detroit's
lale-rcporling runner, came
through for the Lions. He carried the ball only 13 times for 33
yards and a TD and caught
three passes for 25 yards in the
Lions' 17-10 victory over the
Chicago Bears.
"Billy played well. He made a
couple of mistakes but you'd
expect that in this instance,"
Coach Monte Clark said, referring to Sims' contract hassle that
kepi him out of training camp.
The Dears' Waller Paylon,
who struggled for his yards all
Inst year behind a line that
couldn't get the job done, was
overwhelmed again. He managed just 26 yards on 14 carries.

for the Danes.
Whether or not the team will
gel soon is a bit difficult to
foresee. However, after the first
two scrimmages, in which
Albany beat Fulton Montgomery Community College
1-0, and lost to Division II
Ithaca College 1-0, coach Kidder has workds of optimism. "I
already saw a great Improvement after the first two scrimmages. We have' more individual soccer experience than
ever" before. They are good
enough to make it work,"

Women booters near greatness
By Mark Gesner
ASSISTANT SPORTS ED1TOK
It might take a little time, but
when the women's varsity soccer team's individual talents
mesh, a winning squad is sure to
form. "If we gel quickly we'll
have a great team," predicted
Coach Amy Kidder. "I think
that we will get together soon."
At present, the individual is
indeed the Danes' strongest
asset. Last year Cathy Russo
was named to the All MidAtlantic Secon Team and to the
State's All-Tournament Team
as a mid-fielder. This season the
sophomore has been asked to
fill in at the goal-tending position where "she is already doing
a really phenomenal job for
us," according to Kidder.
Anna C o u r t n e y , also
member of last year's All MidAtlantic Second Team, should
prove to be an instrumental offensive weapon. As a freshman
last year, her total of 12 goals
and four assists led the squad in
both categories.
Although good things were
expected of Russo and Court-
ney, sophomore Sue Slagel ap<
pears to be the surprise of the
season. Even though the forward was the second leading
scorer last year, It was basically
an up and down season for
Slagel. "This year she has just
come to life. She is in the right
place at the right time," said an
enthusiastic Kidder. "This year
she's going to do it!"
If the former three cannot
always "do it," there is plenty
of team depth to back them up.
"Every year the talent seems to
get better. I don't think there is
anyone on our bench that can
hurt out play," commented the
coach.
Ia
Much of that depth will come
in the form of young recruits
and transfer students. Only
eight returned from last year's
team which had an overall
record of 11-6 and finished fifth
in the Division III state championships.
Amongst the players Kidder
and new Assistant Coach
JoAnnn Smith will seek for aid
are Karen Bartz and Dee Marfe.
Bartz has always been an extremely consistent contributor
inthe past, and transfer Marfe
will hopefully be a skilled and
tough competitor for the future.

(AP)National

League players will go out on
strike during the third or fourth
weekend of the season "unless
there is some dramatic development" in negotiations, according to the executive director of
the NFL Players Association.
Ed Garvey said Sunday - the
opening day of the 1982 regular
season - that the NFLPA's nineman executive committee will
meet next Monday to set a strike
date.
There have been no negotiations since last Wednesday
when the NFL Management
Council, representing the
owners, presented a proposal
for a five-uear package that
Jack Donlan, the management
council's executive director,
valued at $1.5 billion. The
union rejected the proposal
almost immediately.
"What I plan to do is call
Donlan tomorrow morning today and suggest that he come to
the bargaining table this week
so we can get on with it,"
Garvey told the New York
Times Sunday in a telephone
conversation
from
his
Washington home.
Donlan, when notified of
Garvey's comments, said: "The
union setting up strike meeting,
after the owners have offered
the players over $600 million in
new money, is consistent with
management's viewpoint that
Garvey wants nothing but a
strike. He has refused to have
mediation, which is almost
unheard of, and he continues to
harbor an interest in a concept
that is almost alien to labor
management in the United
States."
Donlan was referring to the
union's continuing demand for
53 percent of the. owners' gross
receipts.

passing for a record 235 yards not a bad way to start

SPORTS Bono*
If there was ever a right way
to celebrate a birthday, Albany
State head football coach Bob
Ford found it on university
Field Saturday. Ford, turning
43 years old, rejoiced as his
Qreat Danes soundly defeated
the Ithaca College Bombers
30-7.
Led by the passing of senior
quarterback Tom Pratt, the
Danes introduced an all-new
aerial attack. Pratt, who missed
five games last season with an
injured knee, returned with a
sparkling performance in the
1982 season opener amassing a
record-breaking 235 passing
yards and equaling his own
record of 11 completed passes.
"I expected to pass that
much," said Pratt. "We have
much more of a big play offense
this year."
The 1982 Danes do have a
new look. Sporting a trio of
quarterbacks who can gun the
ball and a slew of receivers with
good hands, Ford has planned
-to go more to the air.
"We knew were going to
come out throwing (against
Ithaca)," said Ford.
The air attack helped set up
the first Dane points of the
afternoon. Pratt found running
back Dave Soldini for 12 yards,
and hit tight end Jay Ennis for
another seven before Tom Lincoln's 36-yard field goal gave
the Danes an early 3-0 lead.
The Danes increased that lead
in the second quarter. Pratt
connected with halfback John
Dunham on a 56-yard
touchdown play with 7:44 remaining in the half. The Danes
opted to go for the two-point
conversion and dazzled the
already shaken Bomber defense
to make the score 11-0.
A bad snap that sailed over
IthacBj.punter Jeff Lacy's head
set the scene for Lincoln's second field goal of the day, giving Albany a 14-0 lead going into the locker room.
The Danes capitalized on a
lucky break In the third quarter
We have much
more of a big play
offense this year
—QB Tom Pratt
to further extend their lead.
Ithaca quarterback Tim Connolly tried to fire the ball to
receiver Kevin Finn, but the ball
bounced off of Finn's arms and
right into the arms of defensive
back Frank Qulnn, giving the
Danes possession deep in
Bomber territory. Four plays
later Dunham busted Into the
end zone for the score. A second two-point conversion was
unsuccessful, but Albany lead
20-0.
Before the third quarter ended, Ithaca put their first points
of the season on the board.
Connolly hit freshman George
Mack across the middle of the
end zone to cap a grinding
63-yard scoring drive.
A 52-yard strike from Pratt
to new receiver Pete McGrath
keyed
Albany's
final
touchdown drive. For the third
time in the game, Dunham carried th* hall into the end zone to
complete the scoring drive. The
successful two-point conversion
made the score 28-7 with under
10 minutes remaining in te
game.
"It's always a hard game,"
said Dunham of the I thaca contest, "We live for it the whole
summer, I though it may have
been a closer game."
Even the defense which had
an outstanding afternoon was
able to get into the scoring act.
Linebacker Bob Cohen's interception have Albany the ball
on the Ithaca 15 yard line. But
the Danes were unable to get the
ball past the goal line. However,
after turning the ball over on
the Ithaca six, fellow linebacker
Ed Eastman sacked Ithaca's
third quarterback of the day,
Mike McVey, in his own end
zone for a safety to close the
scoring.
Defensively, we excelled,"
said Ford. "They didn't seem to
play with the same intensity as
Ithaca teams In the past.
"Ithaca had always been
Ithaca;" Ford added.
Ithaca football head coach
continued on pane 21
For Great Dane football fans, Saturday's manhandling of
the Ithaca College Bombers was really something to see. What
ha's become the traditional season opener of the last few years
against the Division III powerhouse from central New York
State usually is a struggle from start to finish. But, on Saturday, the Danes coasted to a resounding 30-7 victory.
It was Albany's second consecutive victory over the
Bombers. Last season in Ithaca, the Danes set back their hosts
by a score of 17-7. That win and the following one against
Southern Connecticut the next week lead many to believe that
Albany was destined to make the NCAA Division III playoffs.
But the Danes lost the following week to Union College, lost
their starting quarterback Tom Pratt in the game against Buffalo and lost hope for the rest of the 1981 season.
Now the Danes are ready to go at it again. Except this time,
by, notching that 30-7 victory, the team is off to an even better
start.
Tom Pratt is back at the starting quarterback ppsition.
Agianst Ithaca, he picked up where he had left off at the time
of his injury the year before. According to head coach Bob
Ford and his staff, Pratt can run the Dane offense as good if
not better than anyone to hold that job in the history of Albany
State football. Already Pratt, almost completely recovered
from his knee njury of a year ago, has shattered the passing
yardage record for a single game. Pratt's 235 yeards bested
Brad Aldrich's mark of 166 set back in 1978. If he remains
healthy, he can help steer the Dane offense to many more victories while rewriting some records before he's through.
Pratt is fortunate to have several dependable receivers.
Leading the way are wide receivers Bob Brien, who should be
healthy by the Danes' next game, and Pete McGrath, a transfer
who was on the receiving end of a 52-yard bomb from Pratt.
Ford has moved veteran Jay Ennls from the backfleld to tight
end, hoping to capitalize on his strength, size, speed and good
hands. Another receiving threat is John Dunham. Dunham,
one of four captains along with Pratt, Jim Canfleld and Dave
Hardy, proved on Saturday that he can run the ball and be a
deep threat for the pass. Lastly, Pratt has Dave Soldini for
short passes out of the backfleld.
Against Ithaca, the Danes looked fantastic defensively.
Albany held the Bombers at bay the entire game giving up only
one touchdown. The defensive unit is anchored by the 1981
ECAC Upstate Player-of-the-Year, Jim Canfleld, at tackle. Inside linebackers Bob Cohen and Ed Eastman had strong games
against Ithaca, while Bob Jojo and Dave Hardy, who doubles
as the team's punter, did a fine job of patroling the secondary.
The Bombers will have a tough time forgetting the Danes'
defense. Canfleld made two crunching sacks on starting
quarterback Corey Davies. Cohen made a key interception that
eventually lead to Eastman's quarterback sack for safety, while
Jojo blocked a punt deep in Ithaca territory.
The Danes certainly appeared to have it all together on the
first day of their new season. But they still have a long eight
game road to haul. After an open date next Saturday, the
Danes travel to Brockport to face their SUNY rivals. Then, on
October 2, Albany returns for a revenge match against Union
College. Union defeated Albany last season on Union's home
field. That game kicks off a string of seven games, five of
which will be played right here on University Field.
Also included in the schedule are the usual host of opponents
such as Southern Connecticut, Cortland, Norwich, University
of Buffalo and Division III power Alfred.
So there Is plenty of football ahead in 1982. But on Saturday, the Danes were as hot as the 85 degree weather they played
In. For Ford and company, it was not a bad way to start.

Editor's Aspect Inside.**
I always wanted to be Diane Keaton. For me. she personified the ideal woman; she was beautiful, talented,
funny and she thought nothing about sleeping with a man
that was a hell of a lot shorter than she was. After I saw
the movie Annie Hall, I dressed in vests and ties, and
trapsed around saying "la di da". I searched for a Woody
Allen look-a-like, and when I found that a difficult task. I
decided that she was better off without him anyway.
When she left him for'Warren Beatty. I got very depressed; first of all, there are no substitutes for Warren, and
until Reds I couldn't take him seriously. Furthermore, by
the time Reds came out. I was practically over my infatuation. Yeah, she was still beautiful, funny, etc., etc..
but she just didn't inspire me anymore. Back in those
days I was living on Madison Avenue with three guys
(don't ask), and they didn't find her all that fascinating.
Not that that had anything to do with my changing ideals,
mind you, I simply evolved on my own. Nevertheless. I
was intrigued by the various attractions people formed for
one another, and the motivations inherent in these
choices. Mitch was into Bowie. Kenny was into Garcia
(yes, he also played guitar). Tim was into Phil Collins.
Hence, the centerfold.
And so it goes. Beauties have passed away, desires are
hushed, hearts are slow to learn. Yes, another year has
slipped away, and here were are again, desperately
waiting, and fearing the end. The men and women who
think . . . where does it lead them? Words that are life's
blind utterance. Of absolutes, ambition, alienation. The
shifting shores still shift, the beggars still hungry and wet.
Angels still sing a song whispering fire and thought: of absolutes, ambitions, alienation, and aspects.

Pete Gets Personal
An intimate look at Townshend:
The man and his music
ne of Hie most interesting aspects of Pete Townshend's
new album, is its ability to turn a person's opinion
around after a few listenings. All The Best Cowboys
Have Chinese Eyes is not the most appealing album In tile imnediate sense. After the first play, one wonders If this is a rock
jlbum or a recital of poetry with some musical background.
But after several plays, and willingness to accept Inevitable
:hanges. the record grows more complete in its originality and
beauty. The album holds considerable quality, but a different
type than that of Towhshend's previous solo projects.
O
I
n the time period between Who albums both John Entwlstle and Peter Townshend have gone solo and released their seperate projects. While bass player John Entwlstle's EP was weak, Townshend. the leader of the Who. has
given us another strong album. The follow-up to the highly
successful Empty Class. All The Best Cowboys Haue Chinese
Eyes, has also been doing well. If you're wondering where the
title came from, it's a line from a short story on the inner album
jacket. This story gives the album Its major theme; how success
Is not always so great.
I
[
\
Mike Gordon

-•'•,^rl
This particular theme popped up because success had no 1
been easy for Townshend. Devoted to the Meher Baba In the
pre-Tommy days, Townshend gave up drugs In his religious
zeal. But the bottle still remained and In the last .few years he
had become an alcoholic. Townshend was In such bad shape
that many thought that he would surely end up like his former
associate. Keith Moon. Soon drugs re-entered his life and he
left his wife. Karen, and their two daughters. Luckily, before
he could do himself any permanent damage he realized what
he was doing lo himself and managed to sober up, get off co
calne, and finally returned home. Chinese Eyes reflects these
hard. Intensely personal times In Townshend's life. In the song
Somebody Saued Me, he says that he "lived hippy Jokes, gel
ting stoned Insane" until he "finally woke up clean." In his own
words, he's glad to be back.
Some of the songs on Chinese Eyes represent a new style
for Townshend. The cover shows a somewhat new-wave styled Townshend but the music Is not quite new-wave. He still
considers himself the "aging grandaddy of punk rock", but not
here. In a few songs he does not sing, but Instead talks the
lyrics. T w o examples are Stop Hurting People and Communication. The first works very well, but the latter does not.
Communication Is his way of trying to gel people to talk to
each other, but Its lyrics are meaningless when he says
"Selbsdtarstellung/Gay Talese/Ronald Rocklng/Euthenasla",
what Townshend Is trying to communicate is muddled and
obscure.
-
Ira Band
This is clearly an album with a different method of expression. Townshend has usually used a musical/lyrical relationship of equal measure. But on Chinese Eyes, his'lyrics and
poetry play a more prominent role, with .he melody used
more as a vehicle of expressing his message The melodies are
synchronous, but more background oriented. During several
of the songs. Townshend recites a few verses, as If reading
from his own book of poetry, resembling an An American
Prayer the tribute album to Jim Morrison done by the three reTialning Doors a few years back. Despite this difference, the
poems and lyrics are very good, and lake on deeper meaning
w d appreciation the more they're listened to. Townshend's
iinglng Is. once again, excellent: and there Is a strong emahasls on Intensity of emotion In the songs containing personal
reflection.
Townshend made a point of relaying a few messages
through this album. In doing so he made this the most personally revealing material he has ever put out. Much of this
has to do with the personal ordeal he has gone through In the
past two years. Admitting to being an alcoholic, (with added
abuse In other areas), problems mounted and forced him lo
cease recording material for the present album
The song
Somebody Saved Me. contains implications of the period, using lines such as: "All I know Is that I've been making/and
'.here's been times I didn't deserve to/Everyshow there's been
more faking It/But right at the point of no return". Although
the song has more to do with its title, describing how he finally
-eaches out for external help. It reflects not only a period of
Jlspalr. but also his willingness to' rejuvenate himself back to
Health and his family, of whom he has lived apart from for a
;onsiderable while.

If the album is listened to with fixed expectations supplied by
nis past works, an unnecessary disappointment will be experienced. Any artist, including this one. cannot be expected
to sustain a related concept In their creativity every time they
go into the studio. Any innovative artist does not want to coninually put out the same music, concepts and feelings. Innovation occurs when the artist strives for new concepts that
have yet to be explored. In Pete's own words, "the music must
change." A n d considering all Townshend has been through,
(especially the difficulties during the past couple of years), he is
more than entitled to put out an album containing an abundance of intimate expression.
An artist can't be expected
to sustain a related concept
in their creativity everytime
they go into the studio
Along with the album. Townshend recently has granted
many interviews, and has a book of short fiction to be completed in the near future. But for Pete, there isn't a bejter tool
(so far. anyway) of expression than a solo album. Alone, he Is
free from any compromise lhat he would have made with the
rest of the Who. Working with the band provides a,potent anticipation among the public which forces Townshend into an
old disposition he has considerably outgrown.
All The Best Cowboys Haue Chinese Eyes has come more
out of a personal desire or need as compared to his previous
records. This gives his wriling a fresher, more honest flavor,
which, shines throughout the songs as one becomes more
familiar with them. This Is most displayed In the song The Sea
Refuses No River which, on first Impression, seems quite ordinary and even slightly boring, beating meaning only to
Tonwshend himself. But after several listenings, it is one of the
more beautiful songs he's ever written. Some of the songs do
have immediate appeal (Slit Skirts and Stardom In Action)
while others are social commentaries (Stop Hurting People
and Uniforms). But for the most part, the album requires a
degree of patience and If given the careful listening the album
deserves, it will communicate the most Intimate and
penetrating portrayal of music and life that Townshend has
ever expressed,

Most of the album contains some very catchy tunes, which
are enhanced by several listenings. Face Dances. Part Two Is
the single off the album, and probably the only song featured
regularly on the radio. Face Dances is this album's match for
Let My Loue Open The Door from Empty Glass. Anothei
song that might be familiar Is Stardom In Action. It tells how
Pete wants to be rich and famous - to be a star. Then he could
go and live in Southern California, like other stars, on the
other hand, he sings in Exquisitely Bored that when he Is ir
California he Is Just that.
The most appealing song on the album has to be Slit Skins.
Townshend starts out telling us about hlmself--how difficult il li
for him to accept growing old. Once he past age 34 he nc
longer had as much fun because "Jeannie never wears no
knee pants/We have to be so drunk lo try a new dance/So
afraid of every new romance." Silt Skirts also contains the best
guitar leads by Townshend, but unfortunately as he goes Inlc
an excellent solo the song ends. You'll get the feeling that tin
song should have continued for another ten minutes. North
Country Girl Is another song that has good acoustic guilai
playing by Townshend. The basic riffs are very reminiscent o:
early Who. This is a love song about a girl not seen In years
living In Scotland.
People expecting the album
to be like Empty Glass, forget
it. Chinese Eyes is as different as its name is strange.
Ferry To Avalon
R
oxy Music Is one of those rare
groups that Is more renowned (In
America at any rate) for its album
covers than it is for the music beneath that
cover. The majority of these covers pictured women In anything from lace lingerie
pinned against pine trees by harsh light, to
a woman in a red dress reclining on a fallen
tree. What looks obscene on the surface is
actually a calculated, blatant attempt at
obscenity which results in delineating if not
obliterating the sexual content of the photo
by being so blatant. Remotely heady stuff
for just an album cover.

Thornton on back up. These two team u p
on a number of songs on the album and for
once Ferry's voice Is not the key part in
each song. The title track Is yet another
successful change for Ferry. Ferry's vocals
on the opening track are echoed by an incredible newcomer. Yanlck Etienne in the
song Avalon- To my memory I have never
heard a voice sing this high with such
strength and endurance. She Is nothing
short of incredible.
Damian VanDenburgh
But soft, what yonder light breaks on this
new album cover? No women, no faces,
n o attempts at left handed sexuality.
Welcome to Avalon, the new Roxy Music
album.
In Arthurian legend, Avalon Is the terrestrial heaven; an Island of beauty, an
Eden. Bryan Kerry's voice Is as close as
one can get to this transcendent place.
From the opening cut. More Than This to
the last vocal piece. True To Life Ferry's
voice soars and swoops. He doesn't just
sing - his inflection and range "suggest"
and "Imply".
Every song becomes a
showcase for his voice and his band,
Roxy Music has always changed personnel, finding competent unknowns lo back
up the mainstays of the band: Bryan Ferry
on keyboards. Phil Manzanera on guitar
and Andy Mackay on sax. This album Is
no exception. The music is seamless, (lowing from song to song effortlessly and
almost unnotlceably. There Is a definite
sound to the alburn - light, ethereal, hypnotic.
There is also a new attitude to the music.
Bryan Ferry is no longer trying for the
outrageous
he Is streamlining his music
and his intentions.
Every Roxy Music
album (until this one) was a game. Ferry's
stance was the bored, dissatisfied romeo love was ")ust another high" or It was entirely nonexistent. This feeling or nonfeeling was projected in almost every song
from Roxy Music's first five albums and
perhaps epitomized In the minor hit Loue Is
The Drug from Siren.
Roxy Music disbanded In 1976 after
Siren and Ferry pursued a solo career.
(These solo albums are spotty and disjointed, weird covers of bland songs. In
short, pretentious and sell-aggrandizing).
In 1979, Roxy Music regrouped - new
members except lor Ferry. Mackay and
Manzanera and the same old thing.
Almost. The attitude was there Trash, My
weaker and boring. But It was good lo

This was and still is the worst Roxy Music

Every Roxy Music album (until this one)
was a game. Ferry's stance was the bored,
dissatisfied romeo: love was "just another
high" or it was entirely nonexistent.
Little Girl, and Mantfestoe the title track are
Indicative of the entire album, but Ferry
tried something different. The A side was
labeled The East Side and as fate would
have it the B side was labeled The West
Side.' There were two different sounds.
The East Side was lean and smooth while
the West Side was laid back and somewhat
funky. This was Ferry's approximation of
capturing two different (stereotypes) of
American culture. It didn't work. Both
sides start strong and get progressively

Avalon appeared on the scene.
One enters Avalon with caution after
Flesh and Blood. Fear not. the album Is
full of beautiful. Intricate sounds which
delight and hurt not. Neil Jason and Alan
Spenner the two bass players propel each
song or coax it along gently, The Space
Between is a fantastic example. A pecking
guitar opens the song and is quickly swept
up In a sleek, funky hook that insists but
doesn't demand Ferry's voice plays along

For those people expecting the album to be jusl like Empty,
I Glass, forget il. Chinese Eyes Is as different as lis name is
I strange. The album Is fuller with a higher quality to It. yel It
|does not have the same radio appeal as Empty Glass had.
Townshend wrote and sings some very fine songs, but there
l i s no consistent song In tempo, neither hard or soft. The music
l i s just plain good, and quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, after the
Inext Who album. It's Hard. Is released the Who will break up
Ipermapently, apd solo Townsjiend )s all.we'll get. But with the
|disappointing Face Dances, who's complaining?
Q
Ferry's lyrics are interesting. On the
album Country Life Ferry sings, "Throw
away lines often ring true." On Avalon.
almost every line Is throw away, but the difference Is that in the context of the music
and the tone of the album, one can sense
that Ferry is finally being sincere. The song
Take A Chance With Me sums this up: "As
they say. two can play/But keep that song
away from me/In my time, too much
love/Has made me sad for so long," He's
not Joking this time. Never before has
Roxy Music sounded so sincere and warm.
True To Life is perhaps the prettiest sounding song on the album. It's about Manhattan but It's not a dissection of the city; it's a
shimmering paean lo a faceless woman his
"Seaside diamond"; he knows there's someone there for him despite the "thousand
faces" that he'll "never know". Manhattan
is no Avalon. but it is an Island of beauty in
its own way.
All Is not bliss In Avalon though. While
My Hearl fs Still Beating is like Its title, a lit'
tie too long and plodding. To Turn You On
builds lo a crescendo then falls apart at the
chorus. But this music fs so pleasurable
and assured that these are minor points of
weakness.
The entire album Is pieced
together precisely and paced and timed to
perfection. This is the first truly consistent
Roxy Music album. It looks as if Bryan
Ferry has finally found a home in Avalon.
Elton Remembers John
ust two years ago. given the state
of Elton John's most recent
releases, an average fan' would
yawn when informed of an upcoming concert. Sure he was a legend, but if he played
his most recent offerings you just might
have "a better time at the show by watching
the fourteen year old couple next to you
discover puberty. Keep this quiet — If you
hear of an Elton John concert now, hock
your mother and buy tickets. Elton has
proved that you C A N go home.
J
Definitely Ihe emotional high ol the night, it
became even more so when Yoko stepped
up to the mike and said, "You are our
family now."
Following such an emotional moment,
one would expect a letdown, but there was
none forthcoming. Elton performed some
of his newer material, like Dear John and
Blue Eyes, the latter featuring a beautiful bit
of singing. Most of the songs were concise
and tight, but Rocket Man was dragged
out, with time-wasting techniques like
spelling out the title, and electronic bird
chirping. After a really good show, it was a
little annoying lo see a meaningless jam
session.
Robert Schneider
The Townshend family motto was thought up by Pete's
daughter. It is "The Sea Refuses No River" and il became an
excellent song, both In lyrics and In music with a lead I w monlca providing a fitting mood. The lyrics are a new reflection of Townshend-"The sea refuses no river/And ram fills
I t h e gutters/No'lime for stutters" throwing away the basics ol
I My Generation. This song also reflects how bad Pete feels I
I life has been. The opening lines. "I remember being rich
Ithan a king/the minutes of the day were golden/I recall that
| when the joint passed around/My body felt a little colder."
[Later he says. "I must admit I enjoyed their pain/But now it's
f me that's broken." He expands the theory of a person's place
in life in Uniforms, and how money is the all important possess i o n (next to drugs).
This song is followed bv one of two short
instrumental on the album. India and
Tara are tasteful but seem get lost In the
flow of songs. Perhaps In concert they
would be a little more memorable but they
are yet another first time thing for Roxy
Music.
Elton has been a busy boy lately. His
latest album Jump Up! has been doing well
in the sales department, and this has served to fuel the desires of people to see him
in concert. His 28 city lour served as a contrast to the predictions of many that the
concert lours of all groups will be smaller
and less well received..This month Elton's
In Australia, touring, but he will return to
New York to play a small role in the new
show Lennon. With the success of the
album and tour, more of both can be anticipated.
The show, the first of three at Madison
Square Garden, took place on a night that
saw the usual grimy New York air outdo
itself in murklness. Fortunately, inside the
air was clear and so was the music. After
Quarterflash politely escorted people Into
their seats. Elton and the band entered onto the unusually Spartan stage. Opening to
deafening cheers from a very enthusiastic
audience, Elton, along with Davey
Johnstone on guitars. Dee Murray on bass,
and Nigel Olsson on drums, treated the audience to an accelerated version of Funeral
For A Friend-Love Lies Bleeding amidst
dry ice fog. This foreshadowed what was to
be a consistent problem with an otherwise
superb show: many of the songs lhat were
done were just too damn fast. When a song
is played loo last, the words become Inaudible. Despite this. Elton and the boys
were very entertaining.
A criticism lhat could not be leveled at
Ellon John, at least on the basis of this
show, is that he's miserly with his music.
The selection of songs was both enormous
and varied. Along with his most familiar
songs, he delighted his true fans with fairly
obscure samples In his repertoire, songs
like Ticking and Better, Off^Dead.
The show_h,ad mtrjy touching.a.nd.e,tpp-,.
tlonal moments. Unlike many shows, the
poor suckers who got stuck behind the
stage had by far the best vantage In the
building, due to the bare stage. Ellon proved himself lo be rare among ihe crop of
haughty rock stars-he cares about his fans.
This observation was borne out many, times
during the show.
Two girls from behind Ihe stage jumped
the six feet onto it. They were quickly accosted by the Garden gendarmes, but
before they were led off. Elton walked over
to them. After speaking with them, and
planting a kiss on both of them, they were
quietly led off. Later, a guy tried to make
the jump, but didn't land right, and hurl his
ankle. Elton helped carry him off. The
crowd roared Its approval of events like
these.
. , Afl^r performing Empty Garden, during
whjc)(the gattje/jji'gjlt a galaxy of candles,
Yoko and Sean Lennon walked o n .
True to form. Elton treated the crowd to
three encores. The best of them featured
two Beatles songs, Twist and Shout and /
Saw hler Standing There. Ellon seemed to
enjoy these, as he kept throwing and kicking his plano/.bench around Ihe stage.
As good as the show was. there was a
glaring omission. The show took place on
the twentieth anniversary of Marilyn
Monroe's death. Incredibly, Elton didn't
perform Candle In The Wind, his tribute to
her. How this was overlooked Is beyond
comprehension. It would have been the
proverbial Icing on the cake.
This performance, coupled with his
latest releases, proves that Elton John Is
ready to resume his position as a musical
heavy weight. The band was excellent,
with Nigel Olsson standing out. The fact
that he's decided to bring the old band
together also signals his return to quality. In
a time of precious few talented and consistent artists, that's a comfort.

not want, the tension between the reality and
the ideal may drive him to drink, literally just
to avoid the situation.
Just as men are conditioned to want sex.
women are condiloned to say no. so that in
a situation where she may want to say yes.
the myth or ideal may gel in the way and denying her true feelings she will say no. Part
of this difficulty is the fact thai sex has never
been part of the romantic ideal The princess
in the story never has menstrual cramps or a
headache and the prince is never sore or just
too tired or lense Romance has strict rules,
and although the game is great it is not the'
total reality of love.
Romantic myths are a good refleclion of
the tone of society at any point in time.
Often they are the fust to mark a change in
the moral, ideological trends of the public
in the 50s when politically and economically
ihe country was conservative, the ideals had
shifted to musical heroes like Elvis Presley.

sexual revolution thai was not fully explored

classically romantic gestures of flowers,

romance like a palm gently kissed during a

In the interaction of discarding old ideals
and building new composites to fit around
our new found beloved, we often put thai
person on a pedestal. The problems with
pedestals is that they're very high and being
on top is scary There is a lot of responsibility
involved with staying up there, responsibility
that few of us really want. O h . the glory and
the reassurance of being admired and
adored is great (or the ego. but the truth is
that if you accepi the pedestal, like
Pygmalian. you become just the image, the

Dining with a Gentleman
wo recent major studio releases.
Diner ( M G M / U A ) and An Officer
And A Gentleman (Paramount),
deal with a sublect rarely explored in major
films • friendship between men. Diner starring Steve G u l l e n b e r g (a S U N Y A
graduate). Daniel Stern. Mickey Rourke.
Kevin Bacon and Timothy Daly explores
the competitive/supportive relationship
between this group of young men w.ho
now find themselves on the verge of decisions ih.ii will effect the rest of their lives.
T
Megan Taylor
There .ue scenes of the false bravado so
many men use to cover their insecurities
and impress women. Challenges to seduce
the "prettiest girl", arguments about who is
the best musician to make-out to (Sinatra
won) are the rules of the group, but
underlying these conversations Is a real
supparl system symbolized by their
meetings at the diner. These men are postcollege: Shreevie married to a woman he
realizes he doesn't know. Eddie about to
get married who as a last chance for escape
makes his betrothed take a Baltimore Colts
football trivia quiz which she must pass with
a 65 or he will back out of the marriage.
Billy in graduate school whose girlfriend
finds herself pregnant and questioning their
love. Boogie who plays the tough guy
always In control who is searching hardest
for something to believe in. as he says "if
you don't have dreams you have
nightmares", and odd ball Fen wick who
can answer all Ihe questions on Ihe College
Bowl quiz show but continues to play the
clown afraid he won't (It In.
Unfortunately this brave, and often fresh
project, highlighted by flawless acting and
slick set design fan original metal diner as
the focal point) gets bogged down with a
script that Is at best choppy, at worst In-
congruous. The film has a strobe-like effect, flashing a variety o l not necessarily
related episodes leaving Ihe viewer with the
distinct sense ol having eaten 'just one'
potatoe chip • the taste was great but not
enough.
When Eddie asks Shreevie what It's like
to be married, if it's what he expected, ihe
answer to this apparently simple questiu
finds Shreevie. (or the first time, examining
his marriage, Ihe script, however, leaves
Ihe character and the conflict unexplored,
the scene being saved by the expressive acting ol Stern In other situations 1 felt director writer Bany I.evmson backed away
from any intense emotional scenes, which
is perhaps .it the heart of this films dilemma: is it a comedy, a nostalgic piece of the
late 'fids or is it a serious look into the conscious and unconscious effects of friendship?
I walked away from the film laughing at
the funny one-liner routine over the credits
but at the same time (ell that was not
necessarily the feeling I should have been
left with. After opening a myriad of complex situations and unique characterizations the script falls into the' 'now where d o
we go with this' pitfall. The final wedding
scene (yes Eddie marries Elyse) tries to tie
up all the film's loss ends and gives us Instead a composite "happy ending", all the
characters and their respective mates all
seem' to have settled their difficulties.
Diner's most offensive p r o b l e m ,
however. Is its treatment of women. Ellen
Barkln. who plays the disillusioned
Shreevie's wife, gives a superb performance as the "lose" girl in high school turned wife, who desperately misses the emotional reassurance she found with men
after her. But the script reduces her to a
sleazy nympho. who should be the but of
jokes ralher than the recipient of support
and understanding. The rich wasp girl on
her horse who captures Boogie's fantasy is
about as sterotyped as a character can get.
and last but not least is Elyse. the bride-tobe whose face we never even see. as if her
real identity didn't matter because "women
are all Ihe same".
Despite Ihe flaws, the acting, and the
good parts of this film (and there are many)
make It well worth the price of admission.
In contrast to Diner is Ihe superby written, directed and acted An Officer and A
Gentleman.
This film gives us a very
serious, thought-provoking and emotionally complete look al one man's growth and
self-discovery as a direct consequence of
the men and women who touch his life
while an officer-candidate at Naval flight
school.
Ear from the "love story" the
'Studio Is selling It as. the heart of this film Is
lis star. Richard Gere's. Interaction with his
closest friend Sid Worley (a phenomenal
performance by newcomer David Keith)
and his drill sargent. Foley, a potential'
academy award performance by veteran
Louis Gossett. .Jr.
The film starts with a serious of flash
backs outlining Gere's childhood experiences In Ihe Far East living with his
drunken, enlisted man father after his
mother's suicide. The Hash backs continue
up to ihe point where Gere returns home
after college and finds his father in bed with
a prostitute, a common slate of affairs and
leaves with less than warm good-byes for
the naval training base. His father's last invlctlve. thai he will never be an Officer,
becomes the taunt that drives him onward
under great duress.
Gossett. as the tough sargent lakes an Instanl dislike to Gere and sets out to
eliminate him from Ihe group. Bui we see
thai the lough guy who sells polished
buckles and shoes to his 'friends' on Inspection day Is really paying for the stuff himself
In the hopes he'll be accepted; his father's
words a continual reminder of his part.
When Gosset finds ihe stuff he sets out lo
break Gere, lo force him to resign, and
there follows a series of scenes o l a
weekend long ordeal. Including push ups
In shoulder deep mud. leg lifts held for 45
minutes, etc. etc. but he does not break.
Finally Gossett asks him why he take It,
why doesn't he leave and In pain and
honesty he confesses he has no where else
lo go.
As a backup to this relationship is the
friendship he develops with Sid Worley.
the young man from Oklahoma who Is only there to fill his brothers shoes, an older
brother who was killed in Vietnam.
Through this relationship. Gere learns

is refused leave, and Is being harrassed be
Gosset. Worley and Ihe two women of th.
film hire a boat and sail by the base, mooning al the sargent. a comic and caring
touch that gives Gere Ihe courage to
persevere.
The love story between Gere and Debra

is touching, and very real. This is no Snow
White and Prince Charming, but rather real j

she only wants to marry an officer, and tells
him so. This Ingenuous man Is driven,
with all his Ideals and hopes shattered, to
rent the same motel room they had shared
and takes his o w n life, leaving no note
This scene, discovered by Gere, makes
him confront Ihe feelings he had so long
held at bay about his mothers suicide.
All along. Gere has been seen as a loner
striving only for personal glory within the
corp.. but after these events, on the final
day of training, he has Ihe opportunity to
beat the base record for Ihe obstacle
course. He runs II wlln a young woman
who has yet to get over the wall, and
although he Is near the finish line and is
well within a new record time, he returns lo
urge her o n . to make sure she beats her
obstacle, a scene that is the culmination of
his individual growth and the unity that has
developed within the group.
At the heart of this growth Is the ability to
accept a need within ourselves (or other
people.
To recognize there are no
guarantees in relationships, with men or
women, and to know that the moments we
share are worth the pain in the end. The
final scene of the movie will fulfill
everyone's need for a truly romantic ending to the love story that Is well developed
throughout the movie (punctuated by a
very graphic yet artistic sex scene).
This film stands alone In the current fare
of 'big' films, both because of Its subject and
execution. Taylor Hackford's direction Is
clean, tight, and has a steel knife emotional
edge thai Is certainly helped by the very
well written script by Douglas Day Stewart.
Don't miss this one.

Plant Reflects his Roots
B
ack when Led Zeppelin was realty
soring, in Ihe mid and late 70's.
there were persistent rumors that
the wildly successful English quartet were
splitting up. and that some of the members
were to do solo albums. While this was a
depressing thought for their legions of fans,
it was also an amusing scenario. Few could
imagine Led Zeppelin's singer. Robert
Plant actually doing a solo album. What
would he do - sing the songs with no backing music? It was simply Incomprehensible
that Robert Plant could be teamed with a
different set of musicians. Led Zeppelin
was a BAND, solid as metal (heavy), and
Just about as Indestructable.
Robert Schneider
This immunity from damage was typified
by the band's drummer. John "Bonzo"
Bohnam. On tours, he'd go through so
many llmos that GM stock would zoom.
Hotel rooms were reduced to SUNY quality after Zeppelin and Bonzo would do their
numbers, After In Through The Out Door
was released In 1979, everything seemed
great for the band. They were set to do a
U.S. tour In the fall of 1980, when the
most Indestructible one od all, Bohnam,
drank himself to death. Rumors abounded
that Carl Palmer, of Emerson. Lake and
Palmer was going to join the band and go
S e p t e m b e r 14. 1 W i i / p a g e 9 a
on to AT, much like Kenny Jones joined
The Who. Nothing materialized, and the
band broke up. Heavy metal fans soon
found other bands to satisly their hunger,
such as A C / D C and Ozzy Osborne. But
replacing Led Zeppelin with this was like
replacing filet mignon with liver - it just ain't
the same. When word spread that Robert
Plant was doing a solo album, heavy metal
fans got their hopes up. They propbably
won't like this album. Pictures At Eleven.
but most everyone else will.
Since the demise of Led Zeppelin. Plant
hasn't been too busy. He made his most
public appearance at the concert for Kampuchea in 1980. when he performed with
Rockplle, doing a nice version ol Elvis
Presley's Utile Sister. Other than that, he
mainly jammed with R and B bands, until
he decided to do this solo album. Plant has
been (airly open lo Interviews and the like,
something that would never happen during
Ihe days of Led Zeppelin. According to
him, the possibility of former Zeppelin
guitarist Jimmy Page playing on Plant's
solo effort never came up. However, this,
according to Plant, doesn't mean that the
two will never join forces again.
If this album Is anything to go by, the
breakup of Led Zeppelin may have been
the best thing that could have happened to
Plant, His new album reflects a maturity
that was lacking on many o l his past efforts
The album opens with Burning Down One
Side, a song that sets the pace for the rest
of the record. Phil Collins, of Genesis,
drums on this and 5 other tunes. He brings
part of the Genesis sound to the album,
and thai sound meshes well with Plant's
voice. On this track, some special! effects
are brought in, again a departure from his
past in Led Zeppelin guitarist Robbie Blunt
plays a atsteful guitar on this song, In that
there's a nice solo by him, but It doesn't get
on ones nerves by digressing and droning
on (or fifteen minutes, as Jimmy Page's
often would.
The songs on Pictures At Eleuen all
sound more or less like Led Zeppelin. The
ones that most bring to mind the old
supergroup are the ones where Cozy
Powell drums. Slow Dancer is the closest
thing to a sequal to Kashmir that Led Zeppelin or Plant has ever done. It features the
same style of exotic chordlng and rhythms
that its predeccessor had. Powell beats on
Ihe drums much the way Bohnam did. Unfortunately, Slow Dancer Is a bit too long, a
problem that's not really encountered
anywhere else here.
Proof of Plant's maturity Is to be found
on perhaps the best song on the record.
Fat Up. Jezz Woodroffe plays a beautiful
synthesizer on this one. as he does
everywhere else. Plant's unique style of
singing goes well with the synthesizers on
this fine, bluesy tune, with Blunt adding a
fine recurring guitar riff. This, along with
Moonlight In Samosa, sound like a logical
extension of the Zeppelin sound on their
last album. This album shows where the
group may have been going when
Bonham died.
As a package. Pictures At Eleuen
disproves the widespread belief that Plant
would never succeed as a solo arilst. He
has succeeded here, although It's not a
roaring achievement, His backing band Is
good, although Paul Martinez on bass
didn't have much to say on this record.
Plant has shown that he can Indeed make a
good solo alburn, but It remains to be seen
If he can defy the Sophomore jinx.

Washington Park Theatre Company first
went Into production in the summer of
1981, when the group presented Antigone

Washington Park.
This past summer.
Washington Park Theatre Company moved to the Grand Street location, where they
slagged Kurt Vonnegut's Happy Birthday
Wanda June and R.U.R. by Karl Capek.
The owners of Ihe church, the Sons of
Italy, leased the building to the theatre
group in return for a token payment of a
cake in addition lo the massive job of
cleanup, repairs, and maintenance.
Volunteers from Ihe community asisted the
company members In much of the
cleanup, and Ihe church was not so much
transformed as It was adapted to the needs
of a theatre company.
The sacristy became a combination
dressing room and Green Room. The
choir loft grew tendrils of electric cable,
transforming it Into a lighting and sound
booth. Church pews were uprooted from
their prim rows and arranged around the
large platform which was the stage. Yet
despite these changes, one Is constantly
reminded of the buildings former purpose.
After all, how many theatres have stained
glass windows?
When approached at the end of the
season, the Sons of Italy generously extended the group's lease until October 3 1 .

Guildenstern Are Dead went Into motion.
Stppard's play Is, on the surface.
Shakespeare's Hamlet seen through the
eyes of two minor characters, Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern.
More than a mere
retelling of the tragedy, Stoppard's play Is
an examination of the meaning of life and
___^.
death, man's control (or rather, lack of
control) over his destiny, and the exploitation and manipulation of the Individual by
society.
Director Charles Wagner expands on Ihe
themes of manipulation through the Innovative casting of Iwo women In the title
roles. Wagner feels thai "Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern Are Dead" is relevant to Ihe
problems of all people, but thai it relates
specifically lo what women have to go
through In society, "It seems thai women
are manipulated by both society and their
inner fears If women could learn Ihe art of
self determination that society falls to teach
them, they would be in control," said
Wagner.
As Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Jane
Lapolnte and Julie Ellis perform ably.
They Interact well, with the sensitivity and
precision necessary for the characters'
rapid (ire exchanges and thoughtful
monologues on death, life, and their purpose in relation to the situation they have
been unwillingly thrust into. As Rosencrantz, Jane Lapolnte evolves subtly from a
person who is not too concerned with the
implications of her situation lo a confused
pawn frustrated and frightened by her confusion. Her frustration is shared from the
beginning by Julie Ellis' Guildenstern. the
more thoughtful and perceptive character
of Ihe two. Ellis exhibits remarkable control
over her role, conveying strength without
the power lo exercise II fully. Despite the
differences in their characters, the Iwo do
not create tension between themselves:
rather, they are bound together by Ihe tension created around them.
As the leader of a ragged band of travelling players. Norberl Brown is appropriately
sleazy. One knows Instinctively not to trust
him. Brown controls his character well; his
voice Is insinuating without becoming
monotonous or overdone. The Players,
portrayed by Randall Klein. Tom Peterson.
Pauline Gadzuk. Greg Wolfe, and Mary
Beth Hassett. move together as one person. They are an anonymous unit programmed to follow the Leading Player and
respond lo his commands.
Their
movements are well choreographed; they
are restrained rather than manic.
As Claudius and Gertrude, the King and
Queen of Denmark. Mark Stevenson and
Laurie Szablewskl are regal without being
.Wagner has toned down the humor in
the play, and is successlul in thai the production achieves a more thoughtful level of
meaning without dragging. Remarkable
restraint Is evident throughout every aspect
of the production; the direction is light.
The play Is slightly flawed by the thrust
stage employed. The stage area Is just a little too small and appears cluttered when
there are a larger number ol actors
onstage.
Yet despite this difficulty.
Washington Park Theatre Company's production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

Visconli.
Bui what is Baal? Baal is Berlolt Brecht's
first play, written while he was a student at
Munich University shortly before the end of
W.W.I. (Baal premiered In 1923 In Leip
The term "Baal" was originally used for
the gods of Canaan in the Old Testament;
one Baal for each locality. Baal worship
was usually characterized by fertility rites
and human sacrifice. The term was also
adopted by the Hebrews for their God. but
as the struggle between Canaanlte
polytheism and Hebrew monotheism grew,
the term became synonomous with evil -
Linda Quinn
in The Elephant Man. as well as his
previous film appearances in The Man
Who Fell To Earth and Just A Gigolo. Last
year Bowie, in a cameo appearance as "the
thin white duke", performed Slallon lo Station In the German film Christian F. (Wlr
slnd Kinder von Bahnhof Zoo). and recently he finished filming The Hunger (a
characterization thai included a make-up
job which is truly phenomenal) with
Catherine Deneuve. Bpwie also wrote the
lyrics to Giorgio Moroder's music for the
theme song from Ihe film Cat People (Putting Out Fire).
Somewhere In between Putting Out Fire
and The Hunger, Bowie look on the starring role as the "Bedraggled Baal - poet singer - murderer." in german playwrile
Bertolt Brecht's Baal, which was filmed for
and recently aired on BBC-TV. In May o l
'82, RCA-Victor released an EP consisting
of five songs from the production under the
title Dauld Bowie In Bertolt Brecht's Baal.
All Ihe song lyrics on the EP were written
by Brecht, with the exception of the traditional German Lied "Remembering Marie
A " , and the .musical arrangements were
zlg, and was rejected as much too cryptlcpoellc-orlglnal. It was not until The
Threepenny Opera that Brecht became
popular with Ihe German Bourgeolse),
Baal - a play in 21 scenes was based on the
real life of a certain Josef K, and was
enhanced by the Idea of ihe semitlcphoenlclan deity, of Insatiability - Baal.
giving rise to the term. Beelzebub.
Brecht's slovenly character, Baal, rejects
societal norms breaking two of the Ten
Commandements; he covets his neighbor's
wife and he commits murder. Although
Baal is as corrupt as the society which surrounds him, he possesses a deep apprecialion o( aesthetics; he Identities with the sky
and al death falls into ihe earth Baal is ambiguous, he is Boudelaire's "Frere lecteur"
(brother reader) of Fleurs du.Mal. and Mick
Jagger's "Every cop is a criminal and all the
sinners saints'' of Sympathy for the Devil.
Baal represents the universal adage, "there
is evil within us all." In The Threepenny
Opera. Brecht himself reiterates this iheme
with: "We on stage may be little crooks: but
many of you out front are big ones", very,
reminiscent ol ihe medieval morality plays.
As for the album itself, one could listen
to this EP in less than 15 minutes, but
disregarding the length Bowie's voice
comes through crisp, ck ir and articulate
(even with the emphatic c ckney accent he
sports to enhance the chi acter he is playing). Fie captures Baal's cnel character: in
Ballad of the Adventurers I* is the cynical
crudeness of Baal which is evident but in
Remembering Marie A. it is his rich sensitivity.
Of the five songs, The Drowned Girl coauthored by Brecht and his legendary comi rade Kurt Weill, Is by lar Ihe most powerful
and moving. Bowie's voice is as deep as
the underwater world which he decribes,
'faintly reminiscent" of Wild Is The Wind
oil Station to Station and Scary Monsters
(and super creeps) off Scary Monsters. His
pronunciation is languid; his words linger
as he explicates the drowned girl's corporal
deterioration. His tone Is chillingly mournful.
If Bowie's fans have the eclectic musical
tastes he does, this record will do well at
the local record shop. Any hard-core
Bowie fan should enjoy Baal • another side
of David Bowie - artist.

Raped woman finds little University support
NEWS EDITOR
"If I'm nut back in an hour call
security," Ronna Shapiro recalled joking
with her suitematcs on a Saturday night last
October.
Shapiro was on her way to help a friend in fact, her suitemate's ex-boyfriend - with
a troubling English paper, in his Ten Broek
dorm room.
"When I walked into his room, he locked
the door, but I thought nothing of it," she
said. Shapiro remembered him writing at
his desk, telling her to watch T.V.. She
reminded him that she was here to help him
with his English paper, but he told her to
keep watching T.V.. A bit annoyed with
wasting her Saturday night, she got up to
leave.
That's when "he pulled me back, pulled
tore my clothes off, and raped me," she
said,
The assailant was eventually found guilty
of abuse and threatening behavior by a
school hearings officer, and is currently on
Disciplinary and Residence Hall Probation.
Disciplinary Probation is "a more stringent warning issued in response to more
serious or frequened violations of University regulations, while Residence Hall probation places the student on Probation in
University residences for a stated period of
time."
Shapiro said the student who abused her
currently lives in a low rise on Dutch Quad.
However, behind this conviction lies the
rlgamarole Shapiro said she went through
when she attempted to seek help.
"I felt there was no place to go to" the
petit, short, brown haired Shapiro related.
Her brown, almond shaped eyes look innocent, but this English major's mind is sharp
and analytical.
After the incident, Shapiro spent the rest
of the fall semester pretending it never happened. Her first action came early the next
semester, when she called Middle Earth, a
student run counseling center on campus.
According to Shapiro, the woman who
answered Middle Earth's hot line told her
to come in for an interwiew. The interviewer said she'd be assigned a counselor in
three days. However, Shapiro said when
she called Middle Earth back three weeks
later, they said they were just getting do her
Middle Earth, she went to the on-campus
Department of Public Safety. There she
spoke to a male detective who, she
said,"asked insensitive and impertinent
questions."
"It (the investigation) is not a pleasant
experience," acknowledged Assistant
Director of Police John Hcnnighan.
"There's no question - it's embarrassing."
Hennighan believed energy should be
channeled toward sex crime prevention,
and cited the new blue light phones, improved exterior lighting and student escorts
as ways of preventing some incidents.
Hcnnighan also emphasized that rape is
"not really an epidemic here." Public Safety's records show only seven cases of rape
were reported from 1976-82. Twent-four
cases of sexual assault were reported from
1978-82.
Student Health Service Director Dr.
Janet Hood agrees that "nut so many
students are involved (in rape) or else we
'iun't see them here."
Huwever, although Affirmative Action
Acting Director Gloria DeSole "doesn't
believe people arc jun <ing out of the
bushes," she thinks," there is more sexual
harrassment on this campus than we
realize."
DeSole sees women's safety as a continuum, believing that slopping violent sexual crime only becomes easier once women
recognize minor forms of sexual harassment.
Shapiro said DeSole was the only person
to offer moral support, and take a sincere
interest in her case. Desde informed
Shapiro of her right to the hearing that

Hi
.. i the support of Koch and Carey.
New York, N.Y.
(AP) Lt. Gov. Mario Cuomu scored a stunning upset Thursday over Mayor Edward
Koch in New York's Democratic gubernatorial primary.
With 95 percent of the vote in, Cuomp
led the New York City mayor, 54 percent tu
46 percent.
Meanwhile, millionaire businessman
Lewis Lehrman easily defeated former U.S.
Atturney Paul Curan for the GOP guabernatorial nomination. With 94 percent of the
GOP vote in, Lehrman led Curran 81 percent to 19 percent.
After more than two hours of watching
an early Cuomo lead hold and grow once
the polls closed at p.m., Koch finally conceded shortly before 11:30 p.m.
"I am supporting the Democratic candidate Mario Cuomoj a grim-looking
Koch told his suppporters. "I urge you and
all my supporters to do the same In
November."
As the crowd cheered "Mario, Mario,"
Cuomo made his way to a podium in the
Halloran House.
The victory for Cuomo was an especially
sweet one because just last week, lane-duck
Gov. Hugh Carey had endorsed Koch in the
Democratic race.
"You have won on your own term,"
Carey told Cuomo in a statement issued by
his office. "I offer any assistance you may
seek in assuring your election as governor."
On the Republican side, things did not
seem nearly as united as Curan refused to
endorse Lehrman — at least for the moment.
In other races, incumbent U.S. Sen.
Daniel Patrick Moynuhan - seeking a second six-year term - scored an easy victory
in his Democratic primary against Melvin
Klenetsky, a protege of Lyndon LaRouche,
the former head of the U.S. Labor Party.
Republican Lew Lehrman
Curran offered no challenge.
