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

Acting Director Gloria DeSole "doesn't

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

New York, N.Y.
(AP) Lt. Gov. Mario Cuomu scored a stunning upset Thursday over Mayor Edward
Koch in New York's Democratic gubernatorial primary.
With 95 percent of the vote in, Cuomp
led the New York City mayor, 54 percent tu
46 percent.
Meanwhile, millionaire businessman
Lewis Lehrman easily defeated former U.S.
Atturney Paul Curan for the GOP guabernatorial nomination. With 94 percent of the
GOP vote in, Lehrman led Curran 81 percent to 19 percent.
After more than two hours of watching
an early Cuomo lead hold and grow once
the polls closed at p.m., Koch finally conceded shortly before 11:30 p.m.
"I am supporting the Democratic candidate Mario Cuomoj a grim-looking
Koch told his suppporters. "I urge you and
all my supporters to do the same In
November."
As the crowd cheered "Mario, Mario,"
Cuomo made his way to a podium in the
Halloran House.
The victory for Cuomo was an especially
sweet one because just last week, lane-duck
Gov. Hugh Carey had endorsed Koch in the
Democratic race.
"You have won on your own term,"
Carey told Cuomo in a statement issued by
his office. "I offer any assistance you may
seek in assuring your election as governor."
On the Republican side, things did not
seem nearly as united as Curan refused to
endorse Lehrman — at least for the moment.
In other races, incumbent U.S. Sen.
Daniel Patrick Moynuhan - seeking a second six-year term - scored an easy victory
in his Democratic primary against Melvin

Student groups sponsor annual voter drive
By Denise Knight
STAFF WRITER
As the dust from the primaries settles,
Election Day now looms large. Five student
groups have not forgotten that and are
sponsoring the second annual campus voter
registration drive. So far, 800 SUNYA
students have registered to vote in the
November 2 election, according to New
York Public Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG) Spokeswoman Jane Greenberg,
who is coordinating the drive.
The Student Associtation (SA), the Student Association of State Universities
(SASU), the Off-Campus Association
(OCA), and the Student Union (SU) are
i helping NYPIRG with the drive.
It will continue Monday through Friday
until October 15 in the Campus Center
Main Loby, between 10:00 to 3:00. In addition, door-to-door quad sweeps are taking
place through next Friday. Last year, 2,400
students were registered.
Two years ago, NYPIRG won a lawsuit
filed against the State of New York, claiming that students were disenfranchised when
they were denied the right to vote in their
college communities. Students have since
been allowed to change their voting district.
"The bottom line," according to
Greenberg, "was that students were being
denied the right to vote in the college community where they live, eat, sleep, and
drive." As a result, lawsuits were filed in
every county and were won in Albany and
Ulster counties. There are currently suits
pending in several more counties.
"Back In 1971," SASU President Jim
Tierney explained, "the New York State
legislature passed a series of residency requirements which stated that students must
use their parent's address when registering
to vote. Students were being treated like a
minority."
As a result of those requirements,
students had to vote in their home county
through the absentee balloting process.
"Students are more affected by the outcome of elections in their city of residence
than in their home towns," Tierney said,
pointing out that students arc subject to
criminal laws and traffic ordinances in the
communities where they live, and that they
1
pay local taxes.
SA President Mike Corso said, "I think
it is extremely important to have students
take part in the political process, especially
in this present fiscal crisis." Corso is in the
process of working with the County Board
of Elections in an attempt to get a polling
place on campus. However, shuttle buses to
the designated off-campus polling place will
be provided for students.
Ann Marie LaPorta, SA Vice President,
would also like to see a large student voter
turnout.
"Five thousand votes can swing an election. We need someone in the legislature
who's going to fignt for students. We all
have to realize how much even one vote can
mean."
Tierney agrees. "When students don't
vote, there are easy comers to cut In hard
fiscal times. If they don'l
be a miserable year for t
mlng system."

SUNY Central eliminates 26 positions
in effort to streamline administration
By Ray Caligure
I B * WRITER
SUNY Central Is reorganizing its structure to Increase efficiency by reducing administrative positions
in order to establish clearer lines of authority, according to Executive Vice Chancellor, Dr. Donald
O'Dowd.
O'Dowd said 26 positions have been eliminated as
was specified in Gov. High L. Carey's original 1982
budget. The budget called for staff cuts in state offices
and agencies, including the governor's office, O'Dowd
said.
One of the alms of the reorganization, O'Dowd explained, is to "narrow substantially the number of
people reporting directly to the chancellor." Prior to
the realignment, which began last August, there were
22 such people, but it has been reduced to 10 said
O'Dowd.
O'Dowd noted that an organization's "span of
management" should be six to ten people in order for
it to run smoothly. He expects SUNY Central will be
run "markedly better" in the future.
"The goal of this operation is to make clearer the
lines of responsibility and authority and to improve
communication within the administration," O'Dowd
said.
While cutting positions, SUNY Central board announced Jerome Komisar has been appointed Provost,
a position that has been vacant for four years. A provost presides over curriculum and faculty matters for
the entire SUNY system.
He is the chief academic officer of the 64 campus
SUNY system and receives an annual salary of
$64,538. .
SUNY Central is a five-tier organization consisting
of the Chancellor, Provost, Vice Chancellor, Associate
Vice Chancellor and Assistant Vice Chancellor. Positions were mainly removed at the Associate and Assistant Vice Chancellor levels, professional level staff
(middle management) and clerical workers, O'Dowd
said, adding that there are two fewer Vice Chancellors
as a result of the reorganization. The second phase of
the operation will be the realignment of the Administrative division which presides over matter of

O'Dowd believes that campuses and other agencies
will be belter served by SUNY Central in the future
because "there arc clearer lines of delegation. You
must sit down and clarify" what the organization
does, he said. He added that SUNY Central hasn't
been realigned in five years.
"And we'll probably do it in another five years,"
said O'Dowd.
Jim Tierncy, president of SASU, who closely
monitors SUNY Central's activities said he doesn't
have any objections to the reorganization.
Ticrney said he doesn't see this as a major change
for the organization. "Basically, these people will be
doing the same jobs with different titles," he said.

Campus vandalism incidents big problem
heavily taxing the University's budget
By Carl Patka
Two bulletin boards were apparently set on fire in
front of the library last Friday morning, according to
State University Police Oficer Thomas Sobkowicz.
The bulletin boards, the type found on many of the
columns on the podium, suffered damage in the form
of scorched notices, smoke stains, singed paint and
notices that had been torn off and left scattered
around the columns.
Vandalism is " . . .unbelievable at this University,"
said a night division police officer who refused to be
identified, and claimed it is a serious problem at all
State Universities. He said that the vandalism at
SUNYA takes the usual forms of smashed doors and
windows, graffiti, destroyed furniture, spray painted
walls and other "college pranks." He also mentioned
car vandalism was common. Each year, he said, cars
are found with slashed tires, missing or damaged windshield wipers, smashed windows, and paint deliberately scraped with car keys.
Director of Police at the Department of Public Safety, James R. Williams, agrees that vandalism is a problem. He explained that day and night division police
officers have different outlooks on vandalism because
much more vandalism occurs at night than during the
day. "People are on their best behavior in the
daytime," he said.
One hundred fourty-one cases of criminal mischief,
the legal term for vandalism, occurred in the eight Fall
and Spring academic months of last year alone, according to Williams. In 1981, there were 147 incidences
reported. He pointed out that about 80 percent of the
incidents involved state property.
Williams considers vandalism a major problem
because "it disrupts our schedule of routine
maintenance." Men who ordinarily work on upkeeping the University are forced to spend time doing
emergency repairs. Because of this, he said, there is
often a shortage of manpower to do the work.
Vandalism also wreaks havoc on the maintenance
budget. In April of 1982 alone, vandalism cost the
University $6,000 and in May another $3,600 was added to the running total. Williams said that this cost is
much higher than the figures indicate because they
don't include labor. "Union labor," he continued,
"often has to come in to do the j o b . "
The cost of vandalism hits especially hard because
the Budget Director makes no provision for vandalism
in the budget. "It comes out of the University's hide,"
Williams said. If the University budgeted for it, "there
would be no incentive to try and prevent vandalism."
Most incidents of vandalism are not very costly by
themselves. Some incidents, however, can tally a hefty
bill. For instance, a professor in the chemistry department reported that last year a student had purposely
turned off a lab refrigerator, an incident which cost the
University $200 in chemicals. Also, the car of the Colonial Quad Dorm Director was vandalized to the tune
of $480, a $75 window was smashed in the lecture
center and some students spray painted the halls of the
Fine Arts building which rang up a $250 bill. This
year's bulletin board fire is further evidence that vandalism is by no means a thing of the past, but may continue to be a problem for the students and administration,

AN EVENING WITH
By Mark Waller
The Off-Campus Association(OCA) is taking on added dimensions this year as its new coordinator, Diane
Podolsky, implements plans for a more comprehensive
organization.
Podolsky has a bright, service-oriented past, and
Student Association-president Mike Corso described
her as "experienced" and possessed with an "enormous amount of enthusiasm." Podolsky graduated
last year from SUNYA and has returned to start her
career. As coordinator of OCA, she is the only one of
the 21-person staff to be salaried.
Her first job as coordinator was to assemble 20 community service volunteers to work in the OCA. Each of
these students works six hours a week on various OCA
projects, and will receive three University credits for
their participation,
As Podolsky said, "The OCA will provide a large
number of services specifically designed to make offcampus living easier and cheaper. "There hasn't been
that much OCA programming in the past, and I'd like
to see more," she said.
One of the principle functions of the OCA "thinktank" Is research into the laws that govern the studentlandlord relationship. Under the"anti-grouper" law,
no more than three unrelated persons may occupy the
same dwelling, and since it restricts student choice in
inexpensive housing, the OCA is involved in the study
and possible repeal of the statute.
Another such law deals with the certificate of occupancy.that landlords must have. Corso said, "It's
very important that students ask their landlords
whether they have this certificate," she said, which
establishes the safety and cleanliness of the dwelling.
It often happens that an off-campus student lives
practically hand-to-mouth to alleviate financial
burdens. The OCA wil institute a coupon exchange,
where students with unneedcd food coupons can exchange them at the OCA o ffice for a comparable
amount of coupons they can use. This service is in conjunction with the OCA's "survival guide" which lists
the best places to buy the most inexpensive items.
Part of the programming the OCA will Initiate is
•* Front Pago
plagiarizing, dropping objects out
of a tower, and lighting a Tire
underneath a dorm room door. He
explained that the rules of admissible evidence for rape are often very
technical, and and that the school is
not prepared to rule on these cases.
Shapiro finally contacted Brown
who set up what she described as a
very fair hearing, but she still feels
the University should have
punishments for sex crimes.
Because of the long and winding
road Shapiro followed that finally
lead to action, she is starting a
group on campus called Sexual
Assault Victims Exchange Support
(SAVES).
Shapiro said her group will council victims of rape, establish a student escort service on the days
which Public Safety is inoperative,
and attempt to conscience-raise the
campus community on ways to protect themselves.

the expense of refreshments and fees.

One For SUNY
simple paragraph on a sheet of wire
service paper late last night made a
tense day a happy one. The paragraph
read "Lt. Gov. Mario Cuomo took a slim
lead over New York City Mayor Edward
Koch in New York's Democratic gubernatorial primary Thursday night."
Not only did Cuomo take a slim lead, but.
he ended the primary with a decisive victory
over Koch, the favorite in the race.
The fear that Koch would win was real. A
Koch victory would have been a tragedy for
SUNY. While he's supported an increase in
TAP funding, he's also said that Carey had
done a "bang-up job" on SUNY's budget.
Dorm rent increases, budget cuts and all.
While stressing increased TAP funding
might sound nice, it has a muted benefit to
SUNY. According to SASU, 78 percent of
TAP money goes to private universities. Increasing TAP funding benefits the privates
much more than public higher education institutions.
Cuomo supports increased TAP, but.he
stresses increased subsidies for SUNY and
A
CUNY. He's also come out in favor of student voting rights, requiring Faculty/Student Associations across the state (like UAS)
to reserve at least half of their board seats
for students, and many other important student issues.
We were particularly interested in
Cuomo's victory because everyone expected
him to lose. Koch has always been the front
runner with the well-organized, well-
financed campaign. Cuomo's campaign was
a rather convoluted mess — he won in spite
of his campaign, not because of it. Almost
all pollsters predicted a Koch victory. We
understand that even the bookies had strong
odds against Cuomo, although the odds
changed from 8 to 3 against Cuomo a week
ago to only 5 to 3 against him yesterday.
Cuomo won the Democratic nomination
because people began to realize that Koch
would probably do to the state what he's
done to the City.
Now Cuomo faces a challenge from someone who'd probably do the the state what
Reagan has done to the country.
Days Challenge the Night
s part of a national campaign, many
concerned people in SUNYA are taking part in various events next week to
bring attention to women's safety and sexual harassment. Ranging from panel discussions to a "Women Take Back the Night"
march, these events reflect the real concern
most people at SUNYA feel for these issues.
While few rapes are reported on this campus, every week sees attempted rapes and
A
u
M
other manifestations of violence against
women that, while less oppressive than rape,
remind us that such violence is never far
away.
The Women's Safety Awareness Days are
a positive step towards agressively challenging the belief that sexual assualt and the fear
of such violence is a fact of life that should
be blindly accepted.
N
Revamping the American Left
In recent years we have seen the Right mobilize its forces
and dominate our nation with its inept ideas and vile
values.
Whether or not we agree with what these people are saying and doing, they are both well organized and well finance d — a combination which is dominating and destroying
contemporary Leftist thought and action.
Robert Martiniaro
We have seen the Left play a prominent role in national
politics. Spanning the last three decades, we have seen
various Leftist-oriented groups rise to national prominence, only then to fade into text book obscurity. As
obscure as these political movements are today, the need to
explore the reasons for their demise are important.
Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority (which is neither) is the
Right's most potent force. Organizationally, the Left could
learn from Falwell's flock of fools. Unlike the Black Panthers, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the
Anti-nuke movement, and the Weathermen, the Moral Majority deals with a multitude of political issues. Not bound
by a single, all-consuming issue, the Moral Majority can
and does attract more people. If one issue were to become
politically extinct for Falwell's flock, the other issues would
still attract people. The Black Panthers lack that flexibility.
Society has also contributed to the demise of these oneissue oriented groups. We have seen the rights of the disenfranchised, whether Blacks, homosexuals, or women, once
at the forefront of national consciousness. Current societal
values, however, have placed these rights secondary and
tertiary to social and economical needs.
Incorrect
prioritization, yes, but current reality.
.
Unbridled internal politics also contributed to the Left's
downfall. Agreed, every organization does have problems
with internal politics; the Left Is r(0 different. With these
groups from the Left, however, these political struggles
challenged the basic philosophies upon which the groups
were founded.
Falwell's flock, again, fails to have these problems. And
why? Inherent within the Moral Majority is a hierarchy
with white males dominant, which isn't challenged; it's
God's way. Within the Left, however, leadership roles were
not well defined. This'lack of role definition led to these
political power plays. We would like to think the Left
transcended this type of politics, but we cannot.
We may believe that sexism or racism has no place within
our organization; fighting societal norms can even be difficult for America's high-flying Idealists. The Wcathcrmeh
had no Blacks in the inner circle of power. And sexual
politics, or bed hopping, played an important role in who
had influence and how much influence they had. Sexually,
free love is acceptable.
In reality, It served little
philosophically a,oti politically for the Weather
underground. The Left, in fighting society, failed to deal
successfully with both fighting societal norms and dealing
with their respective political issues.
Philosophy and executing that philosophy has also contributed to the Left's problems. We can again use Falwell's
group as an example. Historically and philosophically,.
Falwell's group was founded upon those dangerous
religious tenets which make us all nauseous. Falwell then
uses these principles w,hen developing the Moral Majority's
responses to political questions.
More importantly,
however, these principles have held fast when challenged by
current secular reality. The Left cannot say that.
We, the American Left, state our Marxist philosophy.
Marx envisioned social and economic equality. This Marxism ideally fuels our organization. We then look to current
reality for an example. Not one Communist country is a
good example of what Marx intended. Falwell can make a
direct connection from the Bible to the Moral Majority,
and, finally, to his group's actions. Can the Left make a
continuum from Marx to the Soviet Union to a group's actions? Not likely.
Contradictions also exist in the actions of the Leftistoriented groups. An anti-war group professes its opposition to the Vietnam war, then bombs a Federal building. A
female in the Feminist movement fights for equalily for
both sexes, then rejects males from the movement because
it is only a women's movement. Both have happened and
still are happening. The Moral Majority makes religious
statements with religious actions. Falwell does not place his
organization on philosophically shaky ground witli inherently contradictory statements and actions.
The three aforementioned problems have contributed to
the Left's downfall. These problems, however, are not irreversible, but do have to be addressed before any rational
attempt can be made to combat Falwell and his group or
any other group which limits the rights of others with archaic right-wing philosophy.

Yucch! I mean, like gross! I read a
quote like that In a popular magazine, and I
start looking under the bed [or the dogeared copy of last November's Hustler. At
least Larry Flint lays It on the line when It
comes to the boy/girl thing. None of this
"everyone Is beautiful" dogma. If you turned to the article entitled "can you find true

I don't know If there's a name for this
kind of journalism, but I know where It
originates: the C.T. desk. Start with two
reporters, male and female, and see if you
can come up with a three-page tease article

A
Hubert'Kenneth Dickey
Days, if not entire lifetimes are being
spent In Just such a quest. A quest for a
state of being that at best Is only a passing
fancy. Be honest, if you dare. Are you
looking for happiness in all the wrong
places? Is your heart, your mind, your soul
on fire for that special feeling?
,'
Look, If you'll take my advice everything
will look better in the morning. That all
consuming pain In the back of your soul, at
the bottom of your heart, It can be removed. All it takes is the removal of all doubt
from your heart.
Witness the couple standing on the corner , it's four in the morning and they are
fighting because of the love they feel for
each other. The police have more important things to do, but due to the magic of
writing, I'm able to bring to you this little
slice of life.
"What's the meaning of all this shit?
Why the hell are you mad at me? He tried

"That's the problem In a nut shell. He

"Isn't that a little out of character? Aren't
you the one who wanted to pursue other
relationships?"
"Well I've changed my mind. Why
should I expect you to care if I'm never
there when you need me?"
"Sounds like you're losing In your attempt to become the queen of the ball."
"That's a cruel thing to say. What have I
ever done to you? You're a very cold and
heartless man."
And you thought you had problems.
Now I ask you, when the basis of the world
that you Inhabit is about to be overturned;
do you, (a) react, (b) do nothing or (c) get
high? As you have Just witnessed, Bill and
Susan Peer face just such a problem. Personally, I feel that the problem Is a perfectly
human problem. Something that given
enough time will pass. Being human
myself, however, I realize that during the
period of time that the problem Is around,
the world can become a very cold and!
scary place. Moments like this are the
presenting an Image of glamour—and
making the reader believe he or she Is part
of that lifestyle, be It In a nightclub, executive suite, or a dorm room. That's how
you sell Estee Lauder cosmetics, Calvin

Doug Wolf
Ever since I can remember, I've had to
choose between doing things the normally
accepted way, or doing them my way. Fair
enough, everyone has choices to make In
life and nine out of ten of us go around
with Frank Sinatra crooning In our heads
as we go about making these all-Important
decisions. However, my choices have not
been the simple yes or no, right or wrong
type. Or at least I'd like to think that they
haven't. To me, the choices I've had to
make in my life have been more of a yes or
yes, right or right nature.
I can do the right thing In the normal
VUlon
sense of the word, or I can do the right
thing from a totally different viewpoint, an
abnormal one if you will. Take the beer
bottle for Instance. Normal logic tells me to
drink the remaining beer and get another
one from the refrigerator, but from a different and totally acceptable point of view,
If approached with an open mind, why not
try to fuck It?
Well, that's Just downright abnormal, Immoral and perverse, not to mention
physically Impossible, right? Yet It seems
to me the latter idea offers the promise of
more happiness. In the long run drinking
the beer will only get me drunk, while
screwing the bottle will get me off. And
therln lies my choice.
I admit this sounds like a very stange
idea, but this Is honestly the way I make my
decisions. Because of this I have at times
been called strange, weird, crazy, stupid
and an assortment of other adjectives too
numerous to even start to mention.
The dllemna I face when I make my
choices can naturally be extended to other
aspects of life, and by using the same logic I
have equally puzzling choices to make. Do
I try for Instance, to mask reality with an
unbelievable assortment of drugs and
alcoholic concoctions, or do I take what
comes tomeln life and pass It off as a reality
that Is, and therefore must be dealt with?
Well, that's a simple choice you say, we
don't need drugs to deal with life, and If
YOU do, well then my friend you're obviously unstable. Drugs are wrong. Sure.

H u
Lady Chatterley's Blunder
W
ould you believe Lancelot meets
Emmanuelle In a D.H. Lawrence
novel? Well the new film of
Lawrence's classic Lady Chatterley's Lover
brings Emmanuelle star Sylvia Krlstel
together with Excalibur's Lancelot,
Nicholas Clay for a barely R-rated soft porn
film with no redeeming social value.
Megan Taylor
The film falls on several levels but most
unfortunately Is the script adaptation.
Lawrence's novel is a complex, Imagistically beautiful portrait of a young wife's coming to terms with her husband's paralysis
and her subsequent affair with the estates
gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. The novel
also deals with the social attitudes and class
differences that frame and enhance the
lovers' story. Lawrence's novel was certainly controversial, labeled pornogaphlc
and temporarily banned, but the film
doesn't deserve that much attention.
Sylvia Krlstal has perfected the "thrown
back head" look of ecstasy (a mainstay of
her earlier x-rated films), but little else. Her
expressions range from static to blank, and
although she takes some striking poses,
(mostly staring forward through rain streaked windows), she evokes no sympathy or
compassion in the viewer.
Nicholas Clay as her lover counterpart,
Mellors, is perfectly cast for physical type.
His portrayal of the midlands gamekeeper
Is authentic and believable, but the script
never develops the characters Intelligence
or fluctuation of temperment. Mr. Clay Is
given little to do In this film other than to attack Ms.Krlslal at regular Intervals and this
reviewer hopes he returns to the Excallbur,
class of film, as he seems to have more
talent than this film warranted.
In most movies, good acting by supporting characters Is a plus. In this one It's not.

directed Emmanuelle), also worked on the
script adaptation, and has effectively expanded the part of Lord Chatterley. Shane
Bryant, a familiar BBC face gives a
superlative performance as the young Lord
who grows Increasingly bitter. But this performance, like the strong but rather sterile
performance of Anne Mitchell as the stole
Mrs. Barton, just underscores the blatant
weaknesses of this movie.
The problems with this film do not stop
at the script. Although the set Is a perfect
reproduction of Lawrence's description,
the continual attempts at artistic
cinematography, much of which editor
Eunice Mounljoy should have left on the
cutting room floor, become static and boring. And not to stop there the costume
design, though stunning on Ms. Krlstal
(when she keeps her clothes on, which Is
not that often) Is Incongruous as the movie
starts with her In a late 19th century ball
gown and In the next scene she appears In
pants (evening pajamas to be exact), which
were not acceptable fashion for some 30
years to come.
And last but not least, sex. Well never
let It be said I'm a conservative. I can be
titilated with the best of them. And I have
to admit the famous novel scene where the
lovers decorate each other with wild
meadow flowers Is perfectly recreated, but
because of the passionless (yes, I said that)
staged scenes earlier In the film, this one
I" all Impact. When Lady Chatterley
runs naked In the spring rain there is no
sense of elation or joy, rather the viewer is
cued into "here comes another one",
So the Inevitable question Is, can anyone
make a good film adaptation of a Lawrence
novel. The answer Is a resounding yes.
The british have given us two excellent
films In Sons and Lovers and Woman in
Love. This film had the potential to be
much more. A problem that has befallen
many movies lately is the combination
director/screenwriter, a situation that
seems to trigger a blind spot when It comes
to enough Is enough.
Even If you loved Emmanuelle, or better
still loved the book, don't bother with this
one. Better luck next week.

Robert Schneider
Right now, for most record companies, it's
much more like 1929 than 1964. Where
once the sky was the limit, now most companies are struggling to keep a roof over their
heads. CBS records, which over the summer had a whopping 25% of the top 100
albums, has laid off vast numbers of salaried
employees. These aren't loading dockers,
these are vice presidents. Surprisingly, small
labels, usually independent, are surviving,
and even some are thriving. This may have
something to do with their willingness to sign
the less well known groups who surprise
everyone with their success. Along with the
disks, concert promoters are ailing. This past
summer has been called the worst ever for
most concerts. Bands such as Blondle,
Cheap Trick, and John Cougar are drawing
pitifully small crowds. With the first two, this
Is understandable, due to their most recent
releases. A tuba ensemble would draw
more. But John Cougar has a bona-fide
smash hit, and even he is under-selling.
There are many reasons for these problems.
First, thanks to everyone's favorite cowboy,
students are in poor financial shape. It's hard
to expect people between eighteen and
twenty-five to buy records these days. They
have to waste their money on stupid things,
like food. Also, people are renting albums to
tape, or borrowing them from friends. For
only four dollars, you can buy a top of the
line cassette, and tape 2 albums on It. It Just
doesn't make sense to buy an outrageously
priced album or prerecorded tape. In addition to being more expensive, prerecorded
tape Is of awful quality. People aren't stupid
— If there's a way to do it cheaper, they will.
The record companies can scream for blanktape royalties all they want, but the fact remains — records are overpriced and no
stunning ones have been released lately.
Other sources of the Industry's woes are two
strange and diverse little critters — a little
man jumping over barrels to rescue his
girlfriend from a giant ape, and a lost, lonely
alien. Video games and flashy movies are '
draining off billions that would have been
spent on records and concerts.
The music Itself It being blamed for the
sorry state of things. In 1982, American
youth culture Is mired In the 1960's. Ask any
10 people between 13 and 25 who their
favorite group or performer Is. Chances are
you'll mainly hear groups like The Beatles,
The Who, etc. Mainstream FM radio can be
blamed for much of this. Although much of
the old stuff Is superb, It's slightly overworked. The success of radio stations like WPLJ
in New York, and WPYX here Is linked to
"classic rock". The only stations in Albany
that your can hear new music on are
WQBK, WRP1, and of course, our own
WCDB. The "classic" stations do pride
themselves on playing new music, but it's
basically a sham. Fo. example, "Don't You
Want Me", by The Human League, was a
very big hit this summer, on all the stations.
In fact, It had been played for months before
that on the more progressive stations.
Mainstream rock stations generally perform
abysmally when It comes to discovering new
talent. However, the mainstream stations
have the listeners, and therefore, the
money. Their gain Is music's loss. Things
may be finally changing though. Video
music Is catching on like wildfire. Currently,
when a new song Is released, there's a good
chance that the group will do a video to accompany It. A video does several excellent
things for a song: it makes the words much
easier to understand, it enables a viewer to
experience a better-than-llve performance of
the group, and last but not least, It's very
entertaining. Duran Duran's "Hungry Like
The Wolf" Is an outstanding video, and it's
receiving a great deal of airplay on MTV, the
showcase for videos. MTV Is doing very
well, better than It's originators ever thought.
Videos may change the face of the music
business. It's rather Impossible for groups
that broke up years ago to do a video of an
old hit, though artists like Steve Miller and
Elvis Costello are doing retroactive ones.
Videos, and the success experienced by the
Independent labels new groups and sounds
may force the Woodstock-era music Into a
second class citizenship. What will happen to
the older style of music during the coming
revolution? Three old groups and one new
one exemplify four dlvergant paths that will
be taken. An understanding of the future Is
unattainable without some knowledge o^the
past.
The story of The Who is a story of an
evolution ol a group from one that depended on gimmicks, to one that commanded a
leading role In innovative rock and roll. The
Who Is one of the oldest surviving bands,
and they've survived against tremendous
odds, both Internal and external. In 1963,
when guitarist Pete Townshend joined Roger
Daltrey and bassist John Entwlstle In The
Detours, a good degree of success was experienced by the band In small London
clubs. This wasn't enough for them, so later
that year they changed their name to The
High Numbers. Although their first single,
"I'm the Face/Zoot Suit", created little stir,
the band pressed onward and upward.
Perhaps the turning point was when Keith
Moon replaced the group's thirty-five year
old drummer. Moon supplemented
Townshend's already famous stage
presence. The Who, as they were now
known, depended a great deal on gimmicks
at this time. The band's name Is even a gimmick. The most famous thing about The
Who's stage presence during that time was
the way that they annihilated their equipment after almost every show. For example,
during the week of November 22-29, 1964,
the group spent approximately $1,700 to
replace equipment, while only earning
$700. The band began to push to the top In
Europe In 1965 with the release of "My
Generation". The Who cracked the tough
American market In early 1967, with "Happy Jack", Appearances on shows such as
The Smothers Brothers also helped the band
gain recognition.
At about this time, The Who began to
make the journey from shadow to substance.
A good part of 196P saw Townshend working on the Rock Opera, Tommy. A little
known fact about Tommy was that it was
originally written for television, but was turned down because it was too controversial.
Despite this setback, The Who enjoyed
titanic success when Tommy was released as
an album. They steered clear of entangling
political alliances, as witnessed at Woodstock
In 1969, when Pete Townshend physically
removed the ever-lrrltatlng Abble Hoffman
from from the stage. Many think that The
Who's finest moment occurred In 1971, with
the release of Who's Next. Undoubtedly one
of, If not the finest rock albums ever released, It also ended the era of frequent Who
releases. For the rest of the Seventies, Who
albums were much fewer and further between.
Controversy has stalked The Who from
day one. Far from one big, happy family,
The Who are more like adversaries. Tall tales
abound of violent flstllghts, especially between Daltrey and Townshend. According to

gorup was entering Ihe public's Interest. Oddly, this group had been disbanded for
years. The group was The Doors.
When one thinks of the Sixties,.one band,
The Doors personifies more of what was
happening then many other groups combined. Whether It be drugs, sex, or protest of
the Vietnam war, The Doors and especially
Jim Morrison were involved.
When Jim Morrison met Ray Manzarak at
UCLA In 1965, they were just two hippies
sleeping on the beach In Venice, Cal. Morrison Impressed Manzarak with his lyrics to a
song called "Moonlight Drive". According to
Manzarek " . . . we decided to get a group
together and make a million dollars". Back
then, like today, that Idea was far from rare.
Despite that, Morrison, Manzarek, and the
other two Doors, John Densmore and Robby Krieger slowly won fame in the clubs
along the Sunset Strip. They were signed by
Elektra, and their album, The Doors, was
hailed by many as the best album of 1967.
"Light My Fire" hit number one that summer, and remains a very popular, If slightly
overplayed tune. The Doors were constantly
on the charts between 1967 and 1969. Their
live shows were riotous affairs, with Morrison
hypnotizing half the audience. It was an
alleged event at a concert that signaled the
beginning of the endtorfhe Doors. Morrison
supposedly exposed himself In front of
thousands, though this was never proven by
the police, who, Indlcentally, had hundreds
of photographs of the concert. This supposed exposure Incensed Miami so, that a
decency rally, led by Jackie Gleason and
Anita Bryant, drew 35,000 teens. This,
along with mounting public criticism of The
Doors, deeply hurt the band, especially Morrison. He began to withdraw Into himself,
turning more and more to alcohol. He llteraly ruined his voice with his 3 pack a day
clgarretle habit. On his final album, LA.
Woman, Morrison's voice Is a shadow of its
former self. In 1970, he left The Doors, and
went to France. What happened then, was in
question for a decade. Morrison died of
heart failure in his hotel, although supposedly no one ever saw the body. The Doors
released other alburns, although none had
the impact of a Morrison effort. The band
disbanded In 1973. That would seem to be
the end of The Doors, but It wasn't. Around
1978, radio stations began lo receive
numerous requests for Doors songs. Their
albums also began to sell again. Perhaps this
resurrection of The Doors was just a trickle In
the wave of 60's nostalgia, though It doesn't
seem likely. Morrison himself wanted to be
remembered as a poet, although a sampling
of his poetry suggests that his calling in life
was as lead singer of The Doors.
Nonetheless, The Doors remain one of the
most discussed and beloved rock groups of
all time. Their story exemplifies what may
happen to other groups In the future—a
group may find Itself in better musical straits
years after it ceases to exist. Who knows
what groups may experience this rebirth?
Some groups may merge and the offspring
may do better than the parents ever did.
Though It's too early to tell, this may be the
case with Asia.
Asia is an aglommeratlon of several
groups, most notably Carl Palmer of ELP,
Steve Howe and Chris Squire of Yes. When
Asia released Its album In 1981, they were
hailed as the first new "supergroup" In years.
While It's a bit premature to verify that, their
first album has clearly placed them at the top
of many people's lists. Steve Howe brought
his Yes-born ability to Innovate, while Carl
Palmer, whom many consider to be among
the top living drummers, provides the anchoring of Asia'a sound. To be fair, It must-be
said that Asia draws more from ELP than
Yes. The vocals, guitars and general feel of
the music evokes the best of ELP, while leaving out the digressions that ELP (and Yes)
sometimes liked to experiment with. Some
Yes fans may feel alienated by Asia, but a
wait-and-see attitude should be adopted, at
least until the next album. The next album
should do extremely well, and that's
something that's Increasingly rare these
days.
As stated before, the major labels are experiencing some tough times. Many people
have said that the days of the big bucks are
over. While all these naysayers are talking,
events are occurring that very well may prove them wrong. First, legislation Is pending
that may clamp a royalty on every blank tape
that's sold. How will all thlj money be divvied up among al the record companies?
Who will pay the royalty: the tape buyers or
the tape companies? These questions and
many more will keep lots of lawyers busy for
lots of years. Perhaps the drain of money
from the record companies will be slowed by
this.
The real changes are occuring where they
should—In ihe music. Not since the British
Invasion of 1964 have so many new groups
and sounds come to the fore. 1982 so far
has seen an enormous variety of new groups
and styles. SUNYA students were lucky
enough to have two of the most Influential
groups play here at Mayfest . . er . .
Celebration 82. Squeeze, although several
' years old, has only recently moved Into a
leadership position with their latest effort,
'Sweets From a Stranger. Right now, they
share the spotlight with The Clash, whose
latest single, "Rock the Casbah" may be the
j best song released this year. The other band
seen at SUNYA was A Flock of Seagulls.
The smart money In England has picked the
Liverpool born band to mimic the success of
that other group from Liverpool.
Good new bands from England are popping up all over the place, and some are blessed with phenomenal hits. For example, the
Human League's "Don't you want me" is
among the best examples of the new, more
mature synteslzed sounds. Soft Cell has also
mastered the art of the synthesizer, "fainted
Love" has made them a group to be watched. Samples of their new album Indicate that
Soft Cell may be much more than a passing
shadow. In addition to The Human League
and A Flock of Seagulls, Haircut 100 has
also made a name for itself. Apparently,
however, they aren't taken as serlusly as
some other groups. Roger Daltrey has compared them to The Monkees. Despite this,
their most popular song, "Love Plus One" is
terrific. The rich sound, topped of by Joe
Jackson-style vocals Is the right blend for a
good musical brew. Men at Work, an
Australian act, Is currently hitting It big with
"Who Can it Be Now". A sampling of their '
album reveals depth and consistency, two
traits that many groups today sorely lack.
In addition to the prevously named bands,
many other unknown bands will begin to be
heard from, as they mimic the pioneers' style
(and hopefully success).
During this explosion of new talent, many
people are curious as to where their old
favorites will be. The answer Is right where
they are today—highly requested on FM,
and ever popular on the charts. It will take a
lot more than an Influx of new material to
change the tastes that people have
developed over the last fifteen years.
"Classic" rock will continue to be King, over
a smaller population. What will happen Is
that the new material should begin to shift
people's perspective; from being wrapped
up In events that largely occurred before they
could ride a bicycle, to a much more current
outlook on things. Who knows—we may
even adopt a futuristic attitude. As Charles
Kettering said, "My interest Is In the future
because 1 am going to spend the rest of my
life there."

But Albany Isn't Afraid
t's like being a big fish In a small
pond — It's not a very good end
but It's a good means," Fear of
Strangers bassist Steve Cohen commented
on the band's local success.
While the pond Isn't getting any bigger,
the fish deflnately Is.
I
Wayne Peereboom
The band's debut album, Fear of
Strangers, has been selling like wildfire In
area record stores since Its early August
release. The album's first pressing of 1,000
copies sold out within 10 days and the
band's label, Faulty Products, Is going
ahead with second and third pressings.
This combined with steady airplay on
several area FM stations and local media
I coverage has firmly established Fear of
I Strangers as the area's hottest band.
But, Fear of Strangers Is still a way from
the national success all four members say
they are looking for. Today, at least, the
band's success Is basically confined to the
Capital District — although they have
played gigs throughout the state and In
Rhode Island.
It hasn't, however, always been that
way.
Back In 1979, Fear of Strangers (known
at that time as the Units) were playing a
combination of covers and originals at area
clubs. Then one fine evening they warmed
up at the nearby Hulla Baloo for a group
that was Just beginning to make Its mark on
the American music scene - the Police.
Vocalist Val Haynes explained "We
changed after we warmed up for the
Police. We got more contacts and we were
using a New York agent to get us jobs and
he was booking us In Boston and New
York. Cohen said the Units were playing
New York, Boston, and Philadelphia clubs
practically every week, warming up for
such bands as Squeeze, XTC, Iggy Pop
and the Psychedelic Furs among others.
All of this led, natually, to hopes for the
coveted record contract. Cohen said that
Miles Copeland (brother of Police drummer Stewart and manager of that band)
wanted the Units/Fear of Strangers to sign
with a new label he had started, IRS - one
of today's hottest labels. However, a well
meaning manager convinced them to look
for a bigger label. "If we had hopped onto
IRS when they were small," Cohen
lamented, "we would have got big with
them, but eventually, It was too late. They
(IRS) were too big."
In the meantime the band went after the
major labels as Warner Brothers, Crysalls
and Atlantic.
"A lot of record company people came
to see us," Cohen said, "and for a while it
seemed we were just on the verge of signing with someone. But the business was In
horrible shape, as It Is now, and a company
like Crysalls may have only signed a couple
acts a year."
In February 1981, singer extraordinaire
Haynes got very III. The band cancelled the
rest of its New York gigs and came back to
Albany. "That's when we stopped playing
out of town and we never really recovered
until now," Cohen said.
After this, Drummer Al Kash explained,
"we basically started over. But, we did
leave a good Impression, people In the
business remember us."
The band kept playing local clubs and
was doing some recording. In November
1981, they signed with Faulty Products —
an IRS affiliate.
Now, Cohen explained, "The next real
step is to try to migrate our success out of
the area and also continue making It In the
area. It's different, real different. It makes
more sense. We have a lot more control
over things now. I'm a lot more optimistic
now. I was optimistic back then but naively
optimistic. It looked too easy. Now Its a lot
of work — ground level work.
After the debut album was completed
guitarist Doug White left the band. Cohen
explained, "It Just got to the point where it
was getting serious and he was never
serious enough. It was 'get out or get
serious.' It just wasn't him."
The band isn't looking to replace White
and they seem to be pleased with the current set up. Guitarist Todd Nelson sees a
"basic elegance" in the three piece band.
Musically, the Stranger sound Is a tough
one to define. There are Influences from
pop, new wave, rock, country, funk and
who knows what else. But the sound that
emerges Is a relatively simple one. Perhaps
•The person most qualified to classify the
music — on an international scale, at least
— is Kash, who spent 12 years in
Australia. He sees it as a "a melting pot
with no one influence overpowering — an
American sound."
Cohen, when pressed, digs back to a article In the Trouser Press which defined It as
"modish space funk and roll."
Haynes will tell you simply that it Is "Fear
of Strangers music."
,
The band has long since passed the
point when they played cover tunes by the
likes of Little Feat, Parllment, and the Talking Heads. According to Cohen, they now
have enough originals so they never will
need to play a cover again. However, on a
typical club date, they have been known to
throw In a R&B classic, or even hard core
country.
Taking nothing away from their musicianship, probably the most Impressive
aspect of the band lies in the song writing.
While Haynes Is the most prolific, Nelson"
and Cohen have penned some Impressive
tunes. Kash generally abstains, fearing "too
many cooks in the kitchen."
Lyrically speaking, the songs deal mostly
with the themes of politics and love.
Nelson said he feels "they all have
something pretty strong to say. Most of the
songs In the "love" category are united by a
common theme: pain. This provides a
refreshing change from the "love Is great"
tone of many pop songs which Nelson condemns in "Pack of Liars." With love songs,
Nelson believes "you have to try extra hard
to say something" new and different. And
they do succeed.
Besides the cuts on the album, the band
has enough first rate material to go Into the
studio and record another album. This
spells one thing — creative energy.
Another energy source is the group's live
performances. While their output Is not
quite the equivalent of a thermonuclear
blast, one will detect a massive energy
release.
Neither live nor on the album do Fear of
Strangers have a heavily polished or overproduced sound. "I tend to think we sound
a little loose In a good way, like Little Feat,"
Cohen explained. "We're not concerned
about making mistakes. We just want it to
sound good overall. I'd much rather make
mistakes than have the sound of the band
be as If we're doing nothing but avoiding
mistakes."
Born and raised In the Bronx, Cohen
migrated north to SUNYA In 1972.
Although he had played bass since he was
14, it wasn't until he got to SUNYA that
Cohen Joined a band. "It was a pretty
cheesey cover band," he recalled. "We
played at SUNY for frat parties and stuff.
The first time 1 ever played a gig I was
thinking 'oh, this Is great. I'm doing what I
want to do and actually getting paid for It.' I
started taking playing a lot more seriously
andthen after a few months I decided to
major In music. I Just got more Involved."
A year earlier a Rhode Island native,
Todd Nelson, had moved to Albany where
his father had taken a position In the
English department. Nelson had been playing guitar since he was ten and started playing In garage bands Immediately. "When
you were a kid there wasn't much else to
do," he explained.
He played In a series of different bands
around Albany before becoming a charter
member of the country rock band Silver
Chicken. From there, It was on to the
Units. Today, Nelson is a married man and
has a baby daughter,
Drummer Al Kash took a somewhat
longer route to Albany. Born In New York
and raised In Florida, Kash then moved to
Australia. There, he first took up music. He
played In blues, British Invasion and funk
bands while doing some recording on the
side.
Upon returning to the U.S., Kash got a
job in a Florida top 40 band but wasn't
satisfied "with just getting by" although ha
was making good money.
Kash ended up in Albany, he said,
"basically by chance.'
Kash has diverse musical Interests which
range from Azukl Indian music to Intricate
jazz. He said he likes to use other creative
outlets such as session work so that these
Influences aren't misdirected Into Fear of
Strangers.
Vocalist Val Haynes was brought up In a
Troy housing project among seven
brothers and sisters. She moved to Albany
at the age of 18 and held a number of drag
jobs until a friend suggested she try out for
a band.
Through a series of mutual aqualntances, bands and various other connections, the Units were formed.
When asked whether things worked out
as soon as they played together, Cohen
recalled: "Yea, oh yea. Right away we
knew. Even before we played we knew It
was going to work out.
But, folks, this Is not a script from a
Hollywood movie. "We deflnately have
our share of problems," Cohen said. "Like
we say, Its like a marrage of four people
and a marrage of two people is hard
enough. In a real good marrage problems
are delt with rather than avoided. We are
very good at solving our problems. That's
what makes or breaks a band — how
honest they are with each other and how
well they deal with their problems.
After four years of ups and downs, the
band Is as strong as ever. One has to
believe Steve Cohen speaks for them all
when he says "I want the ultimate success.
I'm happy with our success so far but it's
Just a start."

Of Strangers
Fear o/ Strangers Is one o/ those bands
uhere none of the members could be

Val Haynes Is the most essential member o/

She also has a unique ability for lyrical lm•rovlsation.

When did you start with music?
ten I was 23, so It was about five years
IO when I started singing professionally. 1
..ad always sung you know, but It had
lever really occurred to me to be a singer.
if/ou never sang In bands or anything like
I that?
'% high school? No.
Mow did you start?
Someone said 1 had a good voice and
Would try out for a band. So I did It. 1 was
(fared as hell and I was really surprised
When they said,"Wow, your're hired." I
never expected to really get Into a band. I
didn't think I was any good, but I guess I
must have been o.k.
Did singing really click with you? I mean,
did you feel good about It?
Yea, yea. It seemed like the only thing I did
right. I felt complimented and I could do It
and I liked II. Every other |ob I had I hated
— 1 totally hated, and would always quit. I
had no direction In my life at that point and
then this direction was thrown in my face
and It was good for me, I enjoyed It. And
. . . I made money at It.
What kind of jobs were you doing before
you joined a band?
Cashier, chamber maid at the Holiday Inn,
nothing good at all.
Do you feel like you developed your stage
presence?
I feel like Its developing.
When you first did it. . .
When I first started 1 was very . . . (stands

'danced. I didn't feel comfortable on stage.

more I've done it, the more I've developed
my own style, I guess.

and . . .
No, then be Val?

,Nooo, Come onlll
you find It hard to get psyched for a

R u t Its easy cause 1 really love to do It. I'm
always really scared. I even get sick before
five play. I've done it so many times and I'm
ptlll like a bundle of nerves. No one can
&ven talk to me. It's, like I walk around
f(paces around, taking deep breaths). But,
yt's the best time ever for me when I'm on
fstage, And I really mean that.
Do you feel more comfortable onstage than

an Instrument In a song for me. Not really
an audio Instrument but an Instrument, a
prop onstage.It's like anything goes on
stage as far as I'm concerned. Anything Is
valid unless you, you know . . .
Lewd behavior?
Yea, right. That doesn't go.
Do you use many props?
I don't know If I do. I really don't know. I
consider my clothing kind of props
sometimes. I spend a lot of lime and
money on clothes which Is crazy.
Sometimes I have to kick myself but I like
to have fun getting dressed.
Do you feel like you're a different person
offstage than you are on?
Sometimes, you know. I feel like I'm
basically a shy person. I probably don't
seem like one. But I am. I have a few
friends, good friends, and 1 don't go to parties much, cause It's like terrifying to me.
Terrifying, because people expect me to be
like Val onstage and that's not me. The
stage Is one persona and I don't have just
one dimension. I don't think I could live if 1
was like that (onstage) all the time. I'd go
nuts (laughs) I'd drive everyone else nuts
too, I think.
I don't think we had any intentions for really being an original band at first. You
know, we were musicians and this is our
job — work and fun. But we never really
started out like, "O.K., you know, we're
really going to really do It." 1 never felt that
was the Intention of this band.
When did It evolve Into something else?
When we started writing our own tunes,
that's when it changed and that's when we
realized what It could be and we might as
well try and go for It. It's much more interesting to play your own songs.
Houi did you start writing?
Well, I've always written poetry and I keep
a journal. I've always kept a journal since 1
was 12, you know, my diary. When I was
young, It was like "I bought a dress". But
now it's like, whenever I feel the need to
write a thought down. It's not like I make
myself write. I should but I don't. That's
how It started.
So you write mainly when you feel an Inspiration or whatever?
When I feel mad, down or depressed. 1
never write anything happy.
/ can see'that in your songs.
I'm looking forward to writing a happy
song but I don't get any . . . writing Is really
You don't walk around saying "I suck" but
secretly, I'm very insecure as a person. Going
to Price Chopper can be a traumatic experience
Do you feel confidence In yourself, as . . .
As what?
Off stage, in general?
No, no, Oh God. In this band, I'm like the
least confident person. As a person. I'm
not very confident in my singing talent or
writing ability either. You don't walk
around saying "I suck" but secretly, I'm
very Insecure as a person. Going to Price
Chopper sometimes can be a traumatic experience, (gets excited) Really, really I'm
like, I feel like 1 don't know how to act in
public. You know, like when you're a
teenager and you're always so selfconscious that you can't function? I'm like
that.
It probably makes It better for performance,
doesn't it?
Being not confident?
Yea, for some reason I think to really do
something like that good, you have to . . .

I guess If you're overconfident . . .

personal for me. It's like I can't pick a topic.
I wish I could be a craftsman as a writer and
not always Just relying on my feelings and
my emotions. 1 don't think that's a good
way to write but it's the way I write now.
How often do you write. Is it every week or
month . . . ?
1 could write three songs in one day and
then a year later, start writing again which
is really bad.
Do you feel your songwrttlng reflects
yourself?
Yes.
Is It autobiographical?
Yes, definitely. I hate to say that because
people . . . then they know. But It is
autobiographical. Everything I write either
happened to me or someone close to me.
The other persons shall remain nameless
but I write from a very personal point of
view.
Do you feel vulnerable exposing yourself
like that?
Yea, I feel a little vulnerable but I also feel
that my feelings aren't exclusive to me,
they're universal. Everyone knows what
loneliness is and the pain of breaking up
with someone ordisappolntment In your
life. Everyone knows that. It just happens
that I make my living telling the world
about my persona] . . . you know. Like a
lot of people can't do that and you speak
for them. I really believe that's a gift In a
way although It does make me very
vulnerable at times. People who are total
strangers know my life story.
Do you feel your songs would sum up your
life story?
' Not my life story, not totally, of course not.
But I feel like a few of them are quite personal. It's not like I write, "O.K., this happened to me. I got sick. I'm In the
hospital," — that's not how you write a
song. But . . .
I Interview; Wayne Peereboom Photos: Dean Betz
But basically your emotional life?
a
Yea, I think so. Yea definitely. I think my
song writing sums that up. So now
everyone knows that I'm sad, but.l have a
sense of humor.
Besides singing and art work, what kinds of
things are you In to?
I like to read. I don't like movies. I don't like
to go to the movies. I really have no patience. I'm not like a movie-goer and
everyone I know Is a movie-goer.
Everyone In the band, everyone, like, In
our generation — It's like they're really Into
the movies. And when I go It's like, "Oh
God," (stretches, yawns). I just dont have a
good attention span, visually, 1 think. 1 like
to read but that's about the only other Interest I have. Reading, drawing and I'm into clothes, that's about It (laughs).
Does the band Interfere with your other
life?
Yea, of course.
Do you put a really lot of time Into It?
It depends on the day . . . and I also take It
home. When you work for yourself It's
always there. You can't go 9 to 5 and then
just not think about It. I'm always thinking
about it. Part of my job In some ways Is
always looking nice even when I go out on
the street because people are going to see
me and recognize me. I'm like a spokesperson for the ban. I know I can't walk around
looking like a slob anymore which I would
love to do. Believe me, there are times
when 1 don't want to wear make-up and
shit like that.
What do you think about people calsslfylng
Fear of Strangers as a "local" band?
Well, we are a local band. We're in Albany.
This Is where we live. We play around here
mostly but I would love to be nationally on
the airwaves. Have everyone dance to
"Volts" in the nation (laughs).
What do you think about the chances of
making It?
I don't know, It's like a hellava lot and I'm
not a fortune teller. 1 don't know what the
chances are. I think It's very hard to make
It.
What // you don't make it or don't you
' think about It?
I don't, it doesn't enter my mind. I'm sure
I'll survive, (on afterthought)
Did you like the name change (to Fear of
Strangers}?
I didn't want to have to do It. I like the
name Fear of Strangers but I Just didn't
want to ever change.
You haue "unit" written on your album
several times.
Did we? Unit 1-A? That's our code
number.
Code number?
You know, every album has "a2zblahblah"
as the code number, well lhat's our code
number. I think, I don'Ueally know. I don't
even have a copy of the record.
You don't even own a'copy of the record?
No, I gave away my copy to my girlfriend. I

Not exactly the way to bring about
human happiness, well nobody is perfect
you say. Y o u Just may have a point there.
After viewing these two different scenes
of human Interaction, It would seem that
pain and not happiness Is the major theme.
You'll have to admit despite all the talk
about peace, love and understanding,
human beings tend to gain for themselves
by Inflicting pain o n others. Being outside
any feeling of this Imposition, the party that
gains feels Justified In the positions that they
have "Steaked o u t " .
I'm sure that the nation of people who
comprise this world are not likely to agree
that their actions are so motivated. Then
again, life seldom provides a mirror fpr you
to look at yourself In.
Just about
everything the human being does is a direct
result of a feeling, an attitude or perception. Sometimes In the course of life It is
necessary to apply certain cosmetics. In
the past it was thought that cosmetics
where for women and actors. Presently, 1
submit that "cosmetics" are now a part of
our day to day life.

the proper context, neither of them is
necessarily wrong. T o use a very trite example, a killer is judged as being In the
wrong when he kills, but the executioner
who throws the switch Is just doing his job.
Neither man Is any more right in his actions
than the other, but neither one Is anymore
wrong, they both have their reasons. W e ,
however, choose to judge, and of course
we are correct in o u r judgement because
we are a mighty nation based on principles
of Law and Order, Checks and Balances,
Right a n d Wrong.
I have had arguments with friends In
which I have stated that I am never wrong,
and I honestly believe that, not that they
do. Ifs Just that I don't happen to be right
for that particular situation. It's a different
way of thinking, and because of this It Is
often not tolerated. I've lost a few friends
because of this, but It Is only because of
their refusal to see beyond their o w n
limited point of view. I've asked them to
look at life through something other than a
tunnel. Yes, at times I'm guilty of the same
damn thing, I'm not Infallible, but I never
said I was, I'm Just right.
The room is still dark, the television
screen is still without life,, the beer Is empty.
Think I'll end this discourse and grab
another brew. Think about It.

[To the Editor:
Anybody who thinks Socialism is a dead issue should
have been at the recent National Convention of the
Socialist Labor Party (where I had the high honor of being
a delegate) held in Milwaukee at the University of Wisconsin that lasted for a week.
The Convention, among other business, adopted resolutions on the threat of nuclear war and the rights of Native
Americans. Both resolutions appear in the Labor Day issue
of the Socialist Labor Party paper, The People.
The general consensus of the delegates was that more
energy, time, and work must be done if the Socialist Labor
Party and what it stands 'for is to become known to the
great mass of the American people, the working class.
That the friends and members of the Socialist Labor Party raised more "bread" at the Convention Banquet this
year than in 1981, shows their determination to continue
the struggle to create a better decent social order—before it
will be too late. Thank you.

To the Editor:
To this tax payer, SUNYA payer, SUNYA student and
SUNYA servant, it is Indeed paradoxical that while the I.D.
1
regulation for riding the SUNYA buses is being so inex, orably enforced, the same strictness is not evident about the
[running condition of the buses. Especially in tight of the
: fact that when a bus breaks down, it could mean a delay of
as many as 35 minutes for the next bus to pick up students
[at the Wellington, for instance, Of course, there is not a
'paradox if the SUNYA buses are not a service, but an act of

Reagan's Rhetoric
To (he Editor:
Ronald Reagan's anti-Soviet rhetoric and his Imposition
of sanctions on corporations of our Western allies contributing in the construction of the European gas pipeline is
inconsistent with his new Middle East policy. This same
Ronald Reagan is now ready to consider placing punishing
sanctions on another ally and trusted friend because it
humiliated the armed forces of two of the Soviet Union's
chief clients. Israel has defeated the Syrian forces occupying Lebanon. Syria is one of the most radical, destablizing,
anti-American, pro-Soviet nations in the entire Middle
East. Israel has effectively destroyed and uprooted the
world's leading murder organization, the PLO. These terrorists were sent scurrying for cover throughout the Arab
World, their lives saved thanks to Israeli restraint and
American marines. Israel has given, for the first time in
twelve years, the hope of freedom to the only other
Western-style democracy in the region, Lebanon. Israel has
cracked the Soviet air defense system; the same one in place
over Eastern Europe.
These are truly strange times; American prestige, influence and power are at a zenith in the Middle East; a once
prosperous democracy has been given a new lease on life;
two Soviet clients have been humiliated and discredited;
valuable military information has been gathered on the

If the Soviet Union desires peace and opposes nuclear
war, why have they not followed Commoner's suggestion
that nuclear weapons be destroyed? Although the United
States alone possessed nuclear weapons from 1943 to 1949,
its leaders put forward such a proposal—the Baruch Plan.
Under this 1946 plan, the U.S. offered to destroy its atomic
bombs. Interestingly, the peace-loving U.S.S.R. rejected
the plan, objecting to the provision for unlimited inspection
of nuclear facilities that was necessary to ensure their
peaceful use. To date, the Soviet Union has never consented to on-site inspections.
S
' America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East?'
The Soviet Union has different alms than Commoner
purports and our foreign policy must reflect this reality.
The current Soviet view of peace is perhaps best embodied
in Lenin's historic words: "As an ultimate objective peace
simply means Communist world control." The U.S.
foreign policy must strive for the attainment of the twin
goals of peace and freedom. American leaders undoubtedly
would prefer that peace and freedom could exist unchallenged without a need for military forces; unfortunately, because of Soviet aggression, "peace through strength"
remains a vital doctrine.
The United States should, of course, continue offering
proposals for nuclear arms reductions and freezes. Any
agreement must be mutual, verifiable and equitable. The
ability to reach such an agreement will require the Soviet
Union to reverse their past anti-peace thrust. One should
keep in mind that we are dealing with a communist nation
that murdered over 20 million of its own people in its formative years. Hopefully, current leaders will forge a new
Soviet tradition of humanity rather than add to their sorrowful record of murder and oppression.
At the same time, debate on the ideological foundations
of the United States and the Soviet Union should continue.
This is another arena where the U.S. has taken bold initiatives. Contrary to Commoner's assertion, American
political leaders, unlike their Soviet counterparts, have not
been "afraid" to engage In thoughtful debate on this topic.
"The so-called arms buildup
is rooted in persistant Soviet
agression, not in American
desires."
The assertion that the Soviet leaders are peace-loving is
weakened further by the experience of recent years. While
the United States reduced national defense spending (In
constant dollars) by over one-third from 1968 to 1979, the
. Soviet Union Increased defense spending by roughly onethird. The United States is not preparing for "Jonestown
on a global scale" as Commoner fears. The so-called arms
buildup is rooted in persistent Soviet aggression, not in
American desires.
The Soviet violations of past treaties also highlight the
values of the Soviet leadership. The U.S.S.R. has violated
the 1925 Geneva Protocol, the 1945 Yalta and Potsdam
agreements, the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention and
the 1975 Helsinki accords. In the process, Soviet leaders
have discarded any pretense of respect for human rights or
for national sovereignty. Their use of chemical and
biological warfare also reflects their moral insensitivity and
ruthlessness,
The Soviet Union is not concerned only with providing
adequate defense of its borders as Commoner suggests. His
explanation that "the Soviet Union didn't invade
Afghanistan until President Carter announced deployment
of the Rapid Deployment Force" is a feeble attempt at
justifying their acts of brutal aggression. Does Mr. Commoner have an equally plausible explanation for the
presence of Soviet military and civilian advisers in Latin
A prominent example was President Reagan's speech on
June 8, 1982 before the British Parliament in which he
clearly set forth the idealoglcal differences between the two
nations. In his speech he challenged the Soviet leaders to
live up to their rhetoric. Reagan stated: "I am prepared to
offer President Brezhnev an opportunity to speak to the
American people on our television if he will allow me the
same opportunity with the Soviet people." To date,
Brezhnev remains silent, perhaps highlighting the intellectual bankruptcy of the Soviet system. The Soviet leaders,
who continue to preside over a war on their own people,
shun serious discussion of the basic tenets of their oppressive society.
Commoner's attack on Reagan's military policies is
misdirected, founded as it is on naive perceptions of Soviet
ambitions.

Soviet Threat
To the Editor:
Barry Commoner's presentation on "The Politics of
Disarmament" was an affront to the intelligence of Albany
State students. Commoner's idealistic view of the Soviet
Union's foreign policy bears little resemblance to harsh
reality: the Soviet's ultimate goal is global domination. In
quoting from a Soviet booklet, Commoner mlsleadlngly
suggests that the Soviet government not only desires peace,
but Is aghast at the prospect of nuclear war and maintains
conventional forces for defense purposes alone.

most advanced Soviet weapon systems; and a worldwide
terrorist program has been obliterated. All of thls.was made
possible thanks to the sacrifice in blood of one of
America's truest friends and staunchest allies, Israel. What
thanks does Israel receive? Ronald Reagan's Bechtel board
decides to impose an American peace plan on Israel, one
which would In the process of weakening Israel also weaken
American interests in the region.
If It is indeed as Ronald Reagan claims, that the Soviet
Union is the greatest threat to world peace today, it is Inconceivable that his administration would attempt to harm
Israel which has, unlike the Arab states or our European
allies acted in a way consistent with American global interests.

Coach Schieffelln was ecstatic
with his club's performance. "They
just keep on getting better. I am
very happy with today's performance. The learn was depressed
after the first half, Tommy have up
the goal and wc couldn't do
anything offensively, but they came
back," said Schicffelin.
Pittsburgh coach Uwe Mewcr,
showing his disappointment said,
"We dominated the game, but they
(Albany) beat us."
Albany had previously beaten
Skidmore 3-0 on two goals from
Bacchus and one from Mike Conolly, and tied Oswego 0-0. The Danes
have also beaten Hampton,
England in an exhibition 1-0. They
opened the season with a two game
invitational tournament in Montreal at McGill University, dropping
both matches 2-0.
Despite losing Ail-American
Al'rim Nezaj and several other
seniors, the Danes are a better
balanced club then last year's 7-7-1
team. They have added two allconference transfer players,
halfback Terry Bacchus from
Fulton Montgomery Community
College and sweeper Mike Miller
from Rockland County Community
College.
Miller is the stalwart of what
Schicffelin calls an "outstanding
defense". Along with returning letterman Jerry Isaacs, the two give
the Danes a pair of legitimate AilAmerican candidates. "Only time
will tell," said Shicffelin, "But
Jerry (Isaacs) surely played like an
Ail-American today."
A major question mark before
the season began was goaltcnder.
Six guys were fighting lor the starting job. The answer seems to be
Merritt.'r'" He certainly doesn't
play like a freshman. He saved two
sure goals in games last week. The
thing is he just keeps on
improving," said Schicffelin.
,-' The element of this year's team
that impresses Schieffelin is the
Danes' "cohesiveness". "They pull
together when they get in tight cor
ners. You wonder when a team
starts off playing so well, but I'm
ifright fully happy because they keep
improving every game."

Ominous skies and less than ideal

dampen the debut of Albany State's
new women's tennis coach Jim Serballk as the Danes opened their
1982 fall season Wednesday with a
4-3 victory over the visiting Oneonta Red Dragons.
Afterwards, the first-year coach
reflected on his team's performance. " I was a little disappointed

SHERRY COHEN UP!

IIW///W
Stale and federal budget cutbacks in Work
Study and other student employment programs have forced and schedule reductions
at the library and oilier campus facilities,
Also the Computing Center, Physical
Education Building, and Campus Center
have been affected by the recent budgetary
pinch. A state-wide hiring freeze has contributed lo the reductions in campus services, according to SUNYA officials,
Eighty percent of the Work-Siudy
prgram is federally funded with the remaining twenty percent coming from the
SUNYA budget, This year federal monies
wete cut back 26 percent trimming Ihc
number of eligible students.
The libraiy, has losl approximately 600
work hours per week, according to Director
of Libraries Joe Nitecki.
The Campus Center lias also felt Ihe impact from the cuts. "At any point In time,
the Campus Center employs 20-25 College
Work-Study assistants," said Campus
Center Director Jim Doellefeld. "This year,
4 or 5 fewer Work-Study student assistants
were assigned lo the Campus Center Ihun
last year."
The number of students assigned to each
facility is not the only area being affected.
"We're not jusl talking physical bodies but
also the number of hours each Work-Sludy
student is allotted.", said Denny Elkin,
Facility Coordinator for the Division of
Physical Education. Athletics and Recreation,
In the past, the university lias been able
to supplement deficiencies in Work-Study
with funds from the Temporary Service
budget. Which is used primarily to hire student assistants.
"In the past, we've used Temporary Service funds as a sort of band-aid. Bui in
general, nobody is gelling more money
from this area and, in fuel, (hey arc probably getting less," Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Alice Corbin said.
A direct affect of Ihe Temporary Service
cutback is evident at the Computing
Center. "We use our Temporary SErvlcc
money to employ students of hightly skilled
nature," said Ben Chi, Associate Director
of the Computing Center. "Students have
worked here on u volunteer basis in the
past. Bui wilh our Temporary Service
money being reduced, we have less money
to pay students. With fewer students to help
out wc can't deliver as inuny services."
While Temporary Service and Work
Study cutbacks have affected student
assistants, a stale employment freeze has affected professional staffs. In order to fill
vacancies, facilities must now issue a request to SUNY Central which Is then forwarded to the State Department of Budget.
Soaring Danes ready to resume with Eagles
By Marc Haspel
SPORTS EDITOR
. The waiting is over for head coach Bob
Ford and his Albany State Great Danes. It
has been nearly two weeks since the Danes
defeated the Ithaca College Bombers and
now, after some 11 days of practice, the
Danes are ready to resume their 1982
schedule with a game against the
Brockport Golden Eagles, tomorrow in
Brockport.
A scheduling problem brought about an
open date which the Danes had last week.
For some, an open date can be a blessing,
an opportunity for a team to correct
mistakes and for its injured players to
heal. But for others the open date can be a
curse, as staleness may set In while the
competition remains fresh.
"You have got to make the best of It,"
said Ford referring to Albany's week off.
"We have to continue to grow. There's an
old saying, 'If you've stayed the same,
you've gotten worse.'"
Considering Albany's last perfomance
against Ithaca, staying the same might not
be such a bad idea. The Danes, led by the
passing exploits of quarterback Tom
Pratt, routed the Bombers and are hoping
to continue that kind of dominance
tomorrow against the Eagles.
In the past, the Danes have had little
problems with their Division III counterparts from Brockport. Last season the
Danes ripped the Eagles 36-7 and over the
lost few years, Albany has averaged close
to 35 points a game against Brockport,
while the Eagles have averaged only seven
_

WILL VURMAN UPS
I The Danes hope to reaume their seaaon tomorrow against Brockport with the
same dominance they enjoyed over Ithaoa.
points per game in return.
But despite the lopsided results, Ford
docs not expect complacency to be a factor in this contest.
"We usually have not had trouble getting up for Brockport," Ford said. "They
have some excellent athletes."
Leading the Brockport attack is
quarterback Dan Grote. A versatile
player, Orote not only runs the offense,
but also returns punts and kickoffs. In addition, he is the team punter. In fact,
Grote was honored two years ago by the
ECAC for his punting performances in
the 1980 season.
The Eagles run their offense out of the
Wing-T formation designed to reinforce
the offensive line in order to increase
power along the line of scrimmage. Further, Brockport's front line is massive.
"They must average 235 pounds across,"
according to assistant coach Kevin
Guyette, who was one of two Dane
coaches to scout the Eagles,
Setting up behind Grote is fullback
Dave Cotter. Weighing in at 220 pounds,
Cotter can run hard, according lo
Guyette. "He seems to fire up the whole
team. They go lo him on short situations
and on the goal line," Guyette said.
Cotter is joined in the backficld by
Doug Nuvik, Mike Holland and Lloyd
Washington. Navik is Grolc's favorite
receiver. However, the Euglcs only ihrcw
17 limes in last week's victory over Buffalo Stale, 29-26. So Albany can expect
him lo keep the ball mostly on the ground.
Defensively, the Eagles arc led by some
very aggressive people. Anchoring the
defense is nose guard * litis Brescia.
" I l c ' s u stund out," Guyette said of the
5-10, 215 pound Brescia. "He's quick and
lie makes things happen."
Brescia stands at the middle of the
defensive line in a 5-2 arrangement, but
also drops off the line to play linebacker
in a 4-3 alignment. "He plays linebacker
, with good lateral mobility," said Guyette.
The Eagles are very good at mixing up
their defenses. Brockport uses the 5-2 on
running downs, the 4-3 on passing downs
and adds a special 6-5 set-up for goal line
stands.
Brescia is joined on the defensive line
by another standout, Frank Turpin. This
defensive end measures 6-3 in height,
weighs 220 pounds, and can run 40 yards
in 4.75 seconds. The other members of the
line average over six feet tall, while the
Danes do not list a single offensive
lineman over 5-11. "We'll try to technique them," said assistant coach Kevin
Karwath, "but we can't expect to muscle
them."
The Danes can expect to stick very close
to the game plan they used against Ithaca.
Pratt spearheaded the offense with 235
passing yards in 11 completions out of 16
attempts against the Bombers, while Jim
Canficld, Ed Eastman, Bob Cohen and
Bob Jojo led a stingy 4-4 defense that
limited Ithaca to only 44 yards on the
ground.
Jojo, a cornerback, earned ECAC
Defensive Playcr-of-the-Weck honors
after the game for his 13 tackles (including
six solo stops), a fumble recovery and a
blocked punt.
v
While the Danes scV'out lo Increase their
record lo 2-0, the Eagles arc also hoping
lo stay on Ihc winning track. Brockport
dropped its season opener lo Mansfield
Slate, n Division II leafy, 31-0. The Eagles
rebounded last weekend with the victory
over Buffalo Stale.
For Ford and his staff, this game curries
special meaning. The outcome of this contest will help give a better indication of
just what kind of a team the Danes really
are. Although the Danes have beulcn the
Eagles rather handily in the recent past,
assistant Karwath adds, "We can't afford
to take any team too lightly if wc want la

One third of her female acquaintances have been raped
Burstein fiercely addresses
problems of sexual coercion
By Laura Nu.ss
Karen Burstein, co-chair of the Governor's Task Force on Domestic Violence,
angrily addressed Albany students and
faculty on the problems of sexual coercion
on the podium Wednesday afternoon.
Burstein said she "regretted that she had
to be speaking about such an unpleasant
topic," then proceeded lo deliver an enthusiastic hour long speech on the subject.
Burstein, with reddened face and clenched fists, explained that the primary difficulty in dealing with acts of sexual coercion is
that it is a "hidden crime" rarely reported.
Burstein offered some advice on ways
women can protect themselves from sexual
abuse. "We can learn to be strong physically, possibly through martial arts," she said.
"Also, we must learn to report these violations, and not to blame ourselves. We have
the right to be enraged, and to fight for our
rights."
Burstein originally became interested in
working for the Women's Tusk Force while
she was a feminist senator in the legislature.
According to Burstein, "Many grassroots
organizations called me and requested my
support in the struggle to end violent sexual
crimes. This also proved you have lo be inside and outside the system," she continued. "This is why I strongly believe in
women running for Assembly."
According lo Ms. Burstein, "acts of
rape, sexual abuse, and sexual harrassmeni
arc not about sex, they arc about violence,
and power, and rage. Offenders are under
Ihc horrible misconception that their
capacity lo give love is also their capacity lo
give pain." she said, believing thai underlying most violent crimes is Ihc necessity lo
"prove one's power."
"Whal is so frightening," she said, is
that about one third of her female acquaintances have been raped. "These were men
thai Ihey dated once or twice, maybe even
slept with, who hud the absurd notion that
a negative response lo a sexual invitation
warranted his sexually abusing her,"
In I973, Ms. Burstein, in collaboration
with other feminists and advocates of
i women's rights, tried lo amend the : New
York State rape laws. At that lime, said
Burstein, "You couldn't win until you put
your bloody life on Ihe line." Under that
law, proof of ihe victim's "earnest
resistance" was required lo prosecute.
Theviclim was forced to risk much greater
brutality and humiliation In order to meet
the proper legal requirements of resistance.
This Injustice was an example of the common myth thai women provoke rape.
This year their diligent efforts proved
successful. A law was passed removing the
requirements of "earnest resistance"
'
thereby requiring the suinc proof for rape as
for any other violent crime.
Students were trapped in all three
elevators in Eastman Tower when Ihe
power went out on Slate Quad al 9:00 pm
lasi night,
The power failure, which lasted approximately 15 minutes, blackened both the
lower and the low-rise buildings. The only
illumination on Ihe quad came from ihc
emergency lights, which lit the main archway and ihe doun hallways.
Physical Plain Senior Engineer Hob
Baker, said the main breaker was tupped,
causing the power outage. When asked
whal caused Ihe breaker to switch off,
Barker said, "I don't know," bin cited an
electrical overload as a possible cause. He
did say, however, that he did not suspect
vandalism.
Tower Director Allen Longendykc refused lo comment on the situation,
Immediately alter the power failure, Jim
DcCltstro; an R.A. in Anthony Hall, ran to
the lower to gel instructions where he learned that the elevators were stuck. "I ran up
every floor and knocked on ihc clevalor
doors, and when I gol lo floor 12, I finally
got a response. I lold the two girls, Kelly
McDonald and Teresa Ashline to slay calm
and to sit down in Ihe elevator. They didn't
want me lo slop talking lo them, so I stayed
and rcassurccd them until Ihe power came
on about 15 minutes later."
"We went up and suddenly Ihe elevator
slopped and ihc lights wcnl out," said
McDonald. "We didn't know I lull the
power was out on ihe whole quad; we
thought that ii was jusl our clevalor."
"When wc slopped, wc didn'l know if we
were on a floor where they could pull us
out, or if wc were stuck between floors."
said Ashline. "It turned out that we were
caught between floors II and 12."
"The worst thing was the darkness, and
not knowing where wc were or when we
would gel out," said Ashline. "When
students stuck in adjacent elevators began
lo bang on the walls, Ihe girls thought their
elevator would fall."
Another result of Ihe blackout is thai
campus radio station WCDB went off the
air for almost an hour. The siaiion was
holding un interest meeting in LC 3 when
DJ Jo Carcnza ran down and lold Doug
Rein, chief of engineering that (he station
could no longer broadcast. Rein, wilh assistant Paul Steinberg drove over to State
Quad where WCDB's transmitter is housed
lo see whal the problem was. By then, the
power was back on, but Ihc transmitter has
a safety feature that requires manual resetling. The two had trouble resetting it, but
finally Ihc station came back on the air jusl
before 10:00pm.
