PI HI ISHED AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY OE NEW YORK AT Aflt.iNYHY THE ALBANY STUDENT PRESS CORPORTATION Tuesday VOLUME ALBANY STUDENT PRESS L V I V September 14, 1982 N U M li E R 2 3 Commoner blasts Reagan's military policies OER finds Chen's contract was not violated By Ray Caligiure By Terl Kaplowilz .VtH'V EDITOR STAFF WRITER 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 17* 8USAN ELAINE MINDICH UPS 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.

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.

"We're happy thai another poll shows us with a strong lead," said Koch spokesman Martin McLaughlin. "But no one in I his campaign is going lo let up, including Ihe mayor."

" W h e n (Koch) was a congressman, you could really call him a super-liberal. Now that he's going fdr governor, he's gone totally the other way. He's become hardassed.

SCZEEM j£fV€$0A\ By Deb Profeta The large demand for on-campus housing has forced ihe Office of Resideniial Life l o temporarily house students in Resident Assisiant (RA) bedrooms, suileroom and lounges, according lo John Marionc, Director o f Residential Life. Approximately 200 freshmen and transfer students have been equally 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.

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.

(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.

I "« 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.

(CPS) 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.

Arizona's public service company burned 35,000 pounds of the week earlier this month, hut figures it saved only three hundred dollars, the street value to smokers, by the way, way around 35 million dollars. ; M E INTEREST T Wednesday September 15 8:00 LC23 in PART TIME JDHS DN CAMPUS-DFF CUMFUS N + Y+S+JOB SERVICE ROOM 6-54 CAMPUS CENTER Driven Insane 90-year-old Elsa Grove of Devonshire, England, spoiled a 67-year- perfect driving record when she forgot to put on her eyeglasses when leaving a service station and nearly ran into a police car.

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 C O L U M N 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 first 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 Center. There's usually somebody around. blackmail Western Europe. Doesn't Reagan realize that thai lactic would be of little use ol Ihc Soviets? They need the money as much as Western Europe needs the gas. Very few nations have cut oil bread 10 Ihcir people for the sake of an idcalogieal siaiul. 11 lends lo lead to Insurrection on the pan ol those people. Politically, this blackmail might work I'm a few monltis, but economically, the results would he as disastrous for I he Soviet Union as il would be I'm Western Europe. finally, the sanctions Reagan placed on companies dealing with Russia for pipeline miileriiils has hurl the American worker. General Electric in Schenectady laid off workers in part of ils plain who were working specifically on materials I'm ihe pipeline. While oilier countries and other workers are doing this work, more Americans are jniniiuj ihc ranks of Ihc unemployed. The hypociaey goes on ad infinitum. ' rmmmmc*wmmaam*mmmmmmmmm0KHHt> • < < 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. • —Madclyn K. Kclslcin 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 —John (Johannes) Parker Side by side by Stein Willi Reagan's economical and foreign policies leading ihe'retreat inio the l950's, Reagan is rounding out his traveling road show with societal values from the I950's. During his speech in Kansas, Ronnie spoke mil for prayer in public schools and spoke oui against abortion, Il does seem fitting he would brine- these 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.

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. .

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.

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.

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.

All his players are back from last season which includes his top five singles players.

"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.

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. OPENS IN SEPTEMBER AT SPECIALLY SELECTED THEATRES. Check newspapers for theatres. Sports SEPTEMBER 14, 198: Danes bomb Ithaca College, 30-7 Pratt leads Albany aerial surge Big Victory over Ithaca; passing for a record 235 yards not a bad way to start By Marc Haspel SPOUTS EDITOR • WILL YURMAN UPS New Albany light end, Jay Ennls, repositioned from the backfleld, cradles the football after a catch made against Ithaca. By Marc Haspel 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.

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?

' ' September'14.'Wrtii/page ria 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 | I [ | -•'•,^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. (O Q 010 w- .-* *, V .*> 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, I O' , • : • r - . • . °b 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. the edges and blends perfectly with Fonzl 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 have the band back Flesh and fj/ood was released In 19811 This was and still is the worst Roxy Music album • vapid and slick, il did itself In by being too smooth, (Some Old Scene is the only redeeming song on the album but It can be found on the Times Square soundtrack. To pick lhat soundtrack over Flesh and Blood says something about the album.) Nothing was heard from Roxy 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 Music In 'HI and then out of I he blue. 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 / Hi StM i mi^l 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. • p.tUtf ( M / S f p t c n i K i M l/l 1M.N1!

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. who clearly represented a move towards a sexual revolution thai was not fully explored it! the 60s If this trend continues.

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 what love and caring Is all about. When he 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 Winger (another outstanding performance) is touching, and very real. This is no Snow White and Prince Charming, but rather real j people w h o recognize each others weakness and strengths and grow together reaching out and taking a chance on really loving. When Sid Worley's local girl fakes a pregnancy In hopes of trapping him Into marriage he decides he really loves her. resigns from the corp and proposes, but 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. D 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. Q Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Girls M ove over, Mickey and Judy.

The company has recently taken up residence In the former St. Anthony's church located on the corner of Grand Street and Madison Avenue In downtown Albany. overbearing. Their presence together commmands the stage, without overtly revealing the control underlying their characters. Both actors give excellent deliveries of the Shakespearean dialogue excerpted (rnm Hamlet. Hamlet Is played by James Dutches he delivers an,effective portrayal of a man constantly aware of the danger sur| rounding him. Dutcher's Hamlet is like an ' animal determined to survive, even If It 1 means betraying his closest friends I Stephanie Starer Is a refreshing Ophelia, : in that she is winsome without being coy, and exhibits realistic, human reactions In response to Hamlet's erratic behavior toward her. Finally. Joe Bowen successfully conveys the character ol Polonius from the moment he enters. His character is perhaps the most amusing In Ihe play. In that Polonius inspires simple humor In a play otherwise shot through with black comedy. Donna MacMillan Washington Park Theatre Company first went Into production in the summer of 1981, when the group presented Antigone and Lysfsrrafa In the bandshell of Albany's 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 . and plans lo stage Tom Stoppard's t r a g i c o m i c p l a y Rosencrantz and 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 Are Dead Is certainly worth taking time to see. The play opens September 16 and runs through the 19lh. and again from September 23 - 2 6 Al performances begin at 8 p.m. Tickets for the Thursday night performances are $3/general public and $1.50/senlor citizens and students.

C Changes Three Bowie D avid Bowie hasn't released a lulllength rock album since Scary Monsters. However, this doesn't mean thai he hasn't been active musically or theatrically. David Bowie, rock legend, has established himself as a reputable actor slnceNhis critically acclaimed portrayal, on Broadway and across Ihe US, of John Merrick done by the teleplay's musical director, Dominic Muldowney, a very line job Indeed, The EP was produced by Bowie and his long-lime co-producer/frlend - Tony 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.

Applications due: September 17 at 2 p.m. September 24,1982 NUMBER 24 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 eventually found Shapiro's assailant guilty Womens' Safety Awareness Days, from September 29 through October 1, will of abuse. be a three day spree of speakers, panel discussions, and demonstrations, Shapiro could not actually charge her assailant with rape, since it is not expressly culminating In a Take Back the Night rally On Wednesday, Karen Bursteln will speak on sexual coercion at the podium. prohibited in the University Regulations.

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.
