There's something extra about a local rivalry. On the
schedule the game fits in like any other, but on the playing
field there's something more. The players feel it and the

I.asi year, ihe Albany-Union contest was the first
meeting between ihc two teams in several decades. I i was
supposed l o have been a one-sided affair. The Danes were
3-0 ai ihe lime and, coincidcnially, had a third place ranking in ihc Division i l l national polls. Further, ihe Dutchmen didn't seem l o have the talent needed lo slop Ihe
high-flying Danes. When the game was over, however,
there was celebration in Schenectady (Union territory) and
despair in Albany. Union defeated Ihe Danes 10-7.
This season things are a little bit different. Particularly

Booters drop two games but still remain intact

ST/IFF WKITtH
The Albany State men's soccer team has survived Ihe
toughest part o f their schedule. A bit loose at the seams,
but still intact.
The Danes dropped two games last week, 4-0 to Cortland
and 5-0 l o Hartwick, following their hard fought victory
over Plattsburgh last week, putting their record at 2-2-1.
The Danes were expected to lose on Wednesday at home
lo former Division I national champions Hartwick. The
Warriors, coming o f f tough losses to Clemson and St.
Francis, took out their frustrations on the Albany squad in
a rough match.
Hartwick moved out to an early 3-0 lead on goals by Dan
D'Angelo at 9:14. T h e Warrior's leading scorer Eddie
Hawkins netted a disputed goal at 15:19 and Mike Lopoyda
closed out the first half scoring at the 20:14 mark.
Flawkins' goal was scored on a play that appeared to be
off-sides. Albany coach Bill Schieffelin and Dane players
vehemently protested the counting o f the goal.
Hartwick controlled the tempo o f the entire game, outshooting Albany 17-1. The Danes seemed in awe o f their
nationally known rivals at times, giving the ball away to
create numerous scoring opportunities for the Warriors.
D'Angelo scored his second goal o f the game 24 minutes
into the second half and Pat Cruickshank closed out the
scoring nine minutes later heading the ball past goalie Mike
Brand. Brand had just replaced starting goalie Tom Merrill.
Tempers flared in the second half with two players
receiving red cards (ejections) and one a yellow card. The
first incident occurred less than two minutes into the half.

Later in the half, Warrior Lopoyda was also given a red

Despite the lopsided score, Schieffelin felt there were
some bright spots on his team's performance. " W e got a lot
of experience playing against Hartwick. Y o u learn a lot
playing against a good t e a m , " said Schieffelin. " N o w we
can look ahead to the rest o f the season. Hopefully wc can
go undefeated and we will be in good shape. It will be difficult, but I ' m happy with the way my boys are playing."
However, Schieffelin was not happy with his team's performance last Saturday against Cortland. Again the Danes
could muster no offense, as they were outshot 16-3 and
outscorcd 4-0,
" I f we play the best we can, I'm satisfied, w i n , lose, or
draw. I was disappointed because we did not play our best.
That is what is d i s t u r b i n g , " said Schieffelin.
Schieffelin felt that the Plattsburgh game had taken a lot
out o f his team, physically and mentally. " W e had four or
five guys who shouldn't have played because o f injuries or
sickness. Cortland just physically outran u s , " he said.
The Danes, who were ranked 10th in the slate in the
latest poll, hope to strengthen their midfield in order lo
bolster their sluggish offensive play. Albany will play their
next two games on the road, Brockport on Saturday and
Union on Wednesday.

Women rally Capitol to 'Take Back The Night'
said strong networking and lobbying i n the
legislature contributed to the bill's passage.
Condo added that rape laws concerning
ihe degree o f rape arc purely statutory, Ihe
degree o f the felony o f rape or sodomy being determined largely by the age difference
between the victim and the assailant. In the
eyes o f Ihc law, rape occurs when a sexual
acl Is performed without the consent o f
both parties involved, and that Ihe law
determines who is and isn't capable o f giving statutory consent. Condo slates that
this is inadequate due to the f a d that a 25
year old Is just as easily raped by force as a
17 year old. She said ihai more emphasis
should be placed on Ihe severity o f the sexual crime, rather than ihc ages o f Ihc victim
and assailant.

Armed with llushlights and a cause, approximately 400 women rallied i n front o f
Ihc Capitol steps last Friday night l o , according to a rally program guide, give " . . , an
opportunity for women to unite in their efforts l o heighten awareness around the

As o f Monday, October 4, there has been

"Because we had over 1,000 persons

New leads In Tylenol case
Chicago, HI.
(AP) A task force hunting a "random murderer" who
killed seven people by placing cyanide in Extra-Strength
Tylenol capsules is following up several "very
substantial" leads, authorities say.
Illinois Attorney General Tyrone Fahncr said at a news
conference Sunday night that the task force has at least
two dozen suspects, including "malcontents,, and wierdos who don't act right or did something extremely out of
the ordinary."
We're trying to understand what kind of person could
do these things," said Fahncr, the chief of a state-federal
task force with more than 100 investigators looking into
the string of deaths. "It is an act of a random murderer
who filled the capsules with cyanide and them place them
in the stores," he said.
One of the "very substantial" leads, Fahncr said, was
the news that two Kane County sheriff's deputies found
Tylenol bottles and capsules strewn in a suburban motel
parking lot Tuesday, one day before the deaths began.
Balloon blast kills four
Albuquerque, N.M.
(AP) Passengers in a hot-air balloon were about to "applaud a good landing" when the craft suddenly exploded
in flames and shot skyward, and four people aboard
plummeted to their deaths. Five others were injured.
"Jump, It's going to blow!" Thomas Spcer, 43, said he
shouted to his fellow passengers an instant before the
blast Sunday during the 11th annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
The five people injured included pilot Joe Gonzales of
Albuquerque, who was hurled from the gondola when
the fire caused one of the propane tanks aboard to errupt
in sizzling flames.
Gonzales was bringing the balloon, called the El Globo
Grande, gently to Earth at 9:30 a.m. when leaking propane vaports apparently ignited the wicker gondola.
The balloon, which was carrying nine people, exploded,
and four passenger jumped out at or near ground level,
witnesses said. The balloon, free of the weight, shot
skyward, and four others jumped or fell to their deaths
from heights of up to 200 feet.
China and Russia to meet
Peking
(AP) After a break of almost three years, representatives
of China and the Soviet Union today prepared to hold exploratory talks on improving strained relations between
the two communist rivals.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Leonid F. Ilyichev arrived Sunday with a small delegation for consultations
that will begin Tuesday,. foreign diplomatic sources said.
The arrival was not announced in the state-run Chinese
press.
Chinese, Soviet and foreign diplomaticc sources have
emphasized that the talks are the first step in resuming a
dialogue between the two countries and are not expected
to yield anything substantial.
They arc neither normalization nor border talks,
foreign sources say, but the Soviet side is expected to urge
resumption of both.
It is the first high-level contact between China and the
Soviet Union since normalization talks in Moscow in
1979, when Ilyichev headed the Soviet side. China broke
off those talks after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in
December 1979. Border talks last were held in Peking in
June 1978.

GOP differs on Cuomo
Albany, N.Y.
(AP) Republican gubernatorial candidate Lewis Lchrman
and his running mate James Emery continued to sing different tunes Monday about Lt. Gov. Mario Cuomo.
Emery, the state Assembly minority leader, staged a
news conference at the state cupitol at which lie accused
Cuomo, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, of nol
having attended imporlunt meetings between Gov. l-lugli
Carey and the leaders of the state Legislature.
"I can tell you, he Cuomo wasn't there," said Emery of
meetings between Carey and Ihe leaders.
Ihe Emery comments seemed to echo Ihe "he lias no
record" attacks make against Cuomo in the Democratic
gubernatorial primary campaign by New York City
Mayor Edwurd Koch. Koch lost that primary to Cuomo.
However, while Emery seemed to be agreeing with
Koch, Lehrman has been busy doing his best ol link the
lieutenant governor to Ihe Carey administration.
All of a sudden I have a record," said Cuomo last

Candidate for the U.S. Senate on the Socialist Workers
ticket, Steve Wattenmaker, held a slide show and discussion last night on "Ihe continuing U.S. attempts to
destabilize the Sandinistan government in Nicaragua."
Addressing a sparse but interested audience, Wattenmaker related ihe details of a fact finding mission he undertook this past Slimmer.
Sponsored by the socialist newspapers, The Militant and
Perspective Munclial, Wattenmaker and approximately 30
other trade unionists from across the United Stales found
that Ihe American media coverage of Nicaragua and its
problems was at best incomplete, and in most cases grossly
inaccurate.
Prior to their two week fact-finding tour, the group had
read reports on a Nicaraguan people that were "disillusioned with the revolutionary government. Businessmen wanted
a return to the good old days," said Wattenmaker. Native
Indian tribes, such as the Miskitus, were supposedly being
"repressed and forcibly transported to refugee camps."
Cuban influence was allegedly dangerously high.
Wattenmaker proclaimed that "the opposite was occurring" in all these cases. The population (especially the poor)
was "overwhelmingly supportive of the revolutionary
government." An optimistic look 10 the future was far
more common than any reactionary scntimenl, and what • • • • • • I

asserted. Government stores have been set up to insure that
no one goes hungry." Gone are "the misery, fear, and

Man denied suit against day care center
By Debbie Judge
STAFf WRITER
Last spring, John Kocthcn of Winthrop
St., Albany, was refused his claim against
Pierce Hall Day Care Center in Albany City
Court due lo an apparent technicality.
Kocthcn, however, maintains it was
discrimination.
The small-claims suit involved Kocthcn's
five and a half year-old daughter, Nora,
who was enrolled at Pierce Hall. Because
he does nol have legal custody, center personnel would not allow Kocthcn lo pick up
his daughter on Friday afternoons when,
Kocthcn said, he had been granted visita-
tion rights. Kocthcn is sueing the center for
the cost of its services - $95.75.
"He was in the wrong court," Peter
Loomis, Pierce Hall Day Care Center's attorney, said, pointing out thai the issue was
one of custody which should properly be
settled in family court. Loomis said he had
suggested this lo Judge John Turner during
his and Kocthcn's "two minutes" in court.
The judge agreed, refusing 10 hear the case.
" I n my mind," Loomis said, "he
(Koelhc) didn't appreciate Ihe fact that he
was in Ihe wrong court." Koelhen said
later that he did nol take Ihe case to family
court because he saw his case as one of con-
trad law over which family court has no
jurisdiction.
Koelhen, who is also involved in the
"Equal Rights for Fathers" movement,
points 10 his difficulty as discrimination
against non-custodial parents.
Several
other divorcees - women as well as men have had similar problems, he said.
Kocthcn, however, decided to go public in
pursuing his case against what he termed
"the edge of the wedge" of discrimination.
He posted open letters in the area, and senl
his protest to several newspapers, including
The Times Union, Knickerbocker News,
The New York Times, and the ASP. He
also directed copies to The New York State
Commission on Judicial Conduct, the
Committee on Professional Standards, the
Office or the SUNY Chancellor, and
SUNYA President Vincent O'Leary.
In the letters Koelhen protested Judge
Turner's refusal to hear the case, arguing
that "non-cuslodial parents must have Ihe
same rights as any citizen to seek justice in
Albany's city court."
In addition, he

Lucrative video games booming on campus
SUNYA has its own video game addicts
National phenomenon
Lexington, KY
(CPS) College officials have found video
games extremely lucrative. In an average
campus arcade, each game can rake in
$200-$300 a week, according to various
estimates.
At the University of Arizona, students
plunked in over one million quarters —
some $280,00 — at the 35-gamc arcade in
the University Center. The school's profit
was $150,000.
Texas Tech, which converted a meeting
room into an arcade two years ago, now has
75 games that bring in $300,000 a year.
The Universities of Illinois, Washington,
Cincinnati and Tennessee, to name a few,
also report fiscal success with the machines.
Some psychologists have even warned the
games can foster anti-social behavior' —
from increased violence to alienation and
withdrawal — among children who play
them excessively. One expert claims the col-'
orful and pulsating lights on game boards
can pitch players into seizures, comas and
cardiac arrest.
Brownsville, Texas officials recently
complained teenagers are sniffing painted
quarters to get high at local video game arcades.
But so fur, none or Ihe dozens or colleges
(hut have instullcd the games has reported
such side ejects, In fact, some college
union officials claim the games are good

There's also some evidence the games are

A California physiciun, ror one, says Ihe
games keep kids active and alert, as opposed to watching television, a passive activity.
Optometrist John Rogers prescribes video

And at SUNYA, the lines are long and
Crowds arc large as anxious patrons wail 10
Teed quarters into noisy electronic machines
that lest their skills and challenge their proficiency, in the campus center Game Room.
Currently boasting 21 games, including
Donkey Kong, Centipede, Pac-man,
Caveman, and a hosl of pin-ball machines,
the Game Room is a haven for video-game
fanatics. Located on the first floor or the
Campus Center, the Game Room is now in
its eigth year or operation, according to
manager Nelson Swart or UAS.
"The games we have are leased to us
from the Lewis Amusement Company in
Troy," Swart explained, adding that "the
proceeds arc split 50/50 between the leasing
company and the UAS." Business is booming, and although Swart didn't have an exact amount, he estiinaled lasl year's intake
at "somewhere in Ihe neighborhood of
$60,000."
Under the five-year lease agreement,
Lewis Amusement is responsible for
machine repair and maintenance.
On a typical uflernoon, the room, which
seems to attract more men than women, is
alive and thriving, us the machines keep
swallowing quurters from people looking
for a temporary diversion.
"Actually, it's a good way 10 unwind,"
said Jill Lcnard, a self proclaimed vidcoa
game addict who "spends ten dollars a
week, at least," on her habit. "We come
here after classes 10 relax," she said.
Natalie Lipnick agreed. "The Game
Room offers a change away from the tension or classes. Even though the games can
get lense, it's a diHerein kind or tension,"
she explained, adding that her weekly game
expenditures average around five dollars.
Phillip Chonigman, who also calls
himseir a "addict", spends about a dollar a
day. "A quarter can but you a lot or playing time ir you're having a good day," he
said. Chonigman added that sometimes
there arc long waiting lines ror some or the
games and said that he'd like to see the new
" T r o n " game installed.
According to Swart, the leasing company
is currently attempting lo secure a "Ms.
Pac-man" game as well as some others.
"Ms. Pac-man is on order, but they've been
having trouble getting it," he explains.
Currently, Donkey Kong seems to have
:dged out Pac-man and Centipede In
popularity."Anytime n new game comes
out," Swurt says, "far the first six months
or so, they do extremely well. But I think
lhat eventually you'll see Ihe pinballs pick
up again. The popularity seems to go In
cycles, but I think they'll be back up
again."

you what some of the views arc on
common psychological issues fncing
today's student.
You might
discover dial you arc neither alone
or "weird" in your feelings and
anxieties. The ankles also include
a list of agencies that you can refer
to with any further questions.
Topics such as stress, anorexia,
alcoholism and drug issues, and
human scxuulily concerns arc some
ideas that are currently being explored by Middle Earlh Roots.
This is an idea stemming from the
work of Middle Earth's Oulrcach
Coordinator, Dave Miller.
Any ideas or suggestions that you
would like to see in the column may
be placed in the news box located at
the ASP office, Campus Center
329.
Stress. The mere mention of the
word can give you a tension
headache. However, it's important
to realize that stress is not always a
negative or unhealthy part of our
life. According to a pamphlet entitled Reducing Student Stress Experiences: A Training Manual by
Bud and Betcc, it is at the point
when a situation creates an unmanageable amount of stressful
feelings that the stress becomes
"distress", and has a detrimental
effect on our normal life style.
University students are especially
vulnerable to distressful situations.
In addition to dealing with adulttype problems, Ihey must also attempt t« adjust and succeed in the
competitive world of academia.
The dating or non-dating scene,
along with experiencing the first exam of the semester, arc two major
causes of student stress that the
pamphlet describes as common for
the October month.
Bud and Betee explain that the
best way to deal with stress involves
preparation and prevention. The
latter suggests that we should never
ignore what our bodies tell us. If
you feel that you're in a tense state,
stop, listen to that message, and
rest.
The other mainstay in dealing
with stress is through preparation.
"I think a lot of it is to attain great
personal insight. To take a step
backward and assess what issues
and concerns that predominate
one's daily experience. To work on
these issues one at a time," said
Middle Earth outreach coordinator,
Dave Milter.
Essentially, preparation comes in
the form of time management.
Although everyone has the same
amount of time each week, some
people can manage a corporation
while others have problems simply
getting schoolwork done.
A Middle Earth tape on How to
Handle Stress explains that the
secret lies not In working harder or
longer, but in working better. It's
quality, not quantity, that should
be one's goal, Concentrate on doing the right thing rather than doing
things right. The difference is being
effective - not just efficient. Efficiency is good, although it's merely
an end in itself.
A tape on Time Management explains that in order to start managing time more effectively you must
first know how It is presently being
spent. This may be accomplished
by keeping a log of your activities
for a span of three days. Next you
can look at what you did and how
long it took to do it. The
knowledge should help in prioritizing, eliminating, simplifying and
combining your activities.
Miller explained time management as, "seeing the environment

rather in a warning of what could happen If
his messages aren't heeded, especially on
"Treat the Youths Rlght":"Treat the youths
right/Instead of putting up a fight/Treat
the youths right/Or you'll be playing with
dynamite". This tune also features a salsatlnged percussion section,
A criticism thai has often been leveled al
reggae Is that much of the music is
repetitive While having some merits, this
criticism Is a bll slmplemlnded. To a reggae
fan, this criticism would seem absurd. Jimmy Cliff, on Special does his part to dispel
the notion that the only thing lhat seperales
one song from another Is the words. On
"Originator", Cliff uses a great deal of
African percusion and rhythm, a musical
style which he has great respect for. Cliff
shows that he's open-minded as well, as
witnessed by his utilization of Ron Wood
on two tracks. Wood's guitar definitely
enriches Ihe album. Bertram Ranchl
Mclean and Mickey Boo Edwards, both
members of Cliffs backing band, Oneness,
each do an excellent Job on bass and
drums, respectively.
With Special. It appears that Cliff, who's
paid his dues with interest, may finally get
the mnlnstream recognition he deserves.
All t h l , week, W C D B is featuring Speclol.
Check it out. It offers the reggae fanatic
more of Jimmy Cliff to love, while showing
those who haven't been exposed to it why
reggae Is a religion to some.

Fear Of Albany
F
rom a SUNYA point of view
there has never been any such
thing as an Albany rock scene.
Oh sure, ever since I was a freshman the
Units and Blotto have been here, but the
first were an opening act at J.B. Scott's so
often I thought that they couldn't slay out
past 12:00 a m , and the latter were a novelty Item and hung out at 288 a lot. Then the
A.D.'s put out two dynamite singles, and
things were looking up. Singles are only
songs, though, and their Impact was temporary. New bands seemed to pop up
every week, play a few gigs, and then fade
away. And how come the same guys were.
In every band?
Craig Marks
Various conglomerations continued to
release good singles, but nothing much
came out of It.
This past summer Fear of Strangers (The
Units) released something I'd never
thought I'd live to see — a full-fledged LP.
Distributed by Faulty Products (Dead Kennedys, Human Switchboard), Ihe album
received substantial airplay on Albany
radio and favorable reviews across the
country. There Is hope. Yes, finally, comes
Hudson Rock, a compilation of fifteen
bands from Albany, N Y , and thankfully
this record is real good, because the time
for Albany to make Us move is now.
H a v i n g e n c o u n t e r e d many
cltywlde compilation LP's, this one holds
together much better than most. The
"Albany sound" Is well defined here — for
the most part — loud, fast, sloppy rock and
roll, with strong roots In 60's and 70's
punk. One possible weakness of Ihe album
Is the lack of different new music fragments
here; no art-funk, no no-wave, no synths,
elc. Luckily the bands on Hudson Rock
have enough strength to cover up for any
absense of styles.
Side one contains the three best known
Albanians: Blotto, the A.D.'s, and Fear of
Strangers. The tracks stand up as some of
Ihe best music these bands have ever
made: Blotto's remake of Lou Christie's
brilliant "Lightning Strikes" is faithful and
Jubilant, though a bit heavy handed and
too pat at times; the A.D,'6 loo sound a little tired, although " W h a l Do You Say" Is
fast and furious (great drums), Fear of
Strangers "Sappy for Ihe Guy" Is as good If
not better than anything on Ihelr debut LP.
Not as structured as the album, "Sappy"
showcases Val's floating voice and some
quirky Instrumentation.
Hudson Rock works so well, though,
because of the bands that aren't so well
known. This Isn't an elitist knock against
the few bands who are well known, It's just
that Ihe freshest rock on the Hudson comes
from Ihe Verge, the X-lstentials, Lumpen
Proles, Capltle, etc. Yeah, you've caught
their names on posters, but have you ever
seen them live? Probably not, or more accurately, definitely not, Henceforth Ihe
reason for this album.
Some stuff here is too regressive: the
Hot Lobsters play weak power sap and
don't belong here; the Rockin Dakotas, a
late great live band, sound watered down
and played out; and the Weekenders
"Powersurge" lacks just that; It rips of Bo
Dlddley and adds nothing to It.
On Ihe other hand, there are at least five
or six songs here which lend hope lo the
Idea of an original Albany sound. The
Young Reptiles cover "Cast Iron Arm"-and
Brad Whiting's vocals and the hilarious
Jack Nicholson type breaks end the record
wllh an all important sense of humor. The
X-lstentials downbeat Is similar lo that of
Slouxsie and the Sanshees and they have a
better grasp of psychedelia than most of
those British poseurs do. The Crude happily remind me of Iggy and the Stooges, and
Capllle's " f u n " is a 30 second hardcore
gem.
At the lop of my list are the Lumpen Proles and Ihe Verge. I can'l figure out w h o m
the Lumpen Proles sound like, but that's a
tribute to Ihem. " Y o u Can't Forget" Is hypnotizing and haunting, but nol by the usual
sloom and doom way. Things are kept simple and distant while maintaining a pop
charm. They draw a successful line between tension and restraint Instead of
smashing you over the head. The same applies lo the Verge's "1-2-3-4-5-6", probably the best cut on Hudson Rock. Once
again, Instead of overemphasizing Ihe obvious, the Verge {an appropriate name)
hover on Ihe edge and give you a great
chorus to boot. The guitars are submerged
In the mix and provide the song with a
quiet power. Very impressive.
Now all that remains is for anyone outside of Albany to hear llils. The Importance
of Hudson Rock Is a little scary; if Albany is
to ever become some kind of decent place
for rock and roll, II appears lhat this is Ihe
medium through which to do It. Even more
Important than oulslde help, though, Is for
our little town to make some noise, Just
about all of these bands can be caught on
any weekend downtown (the Chateau or
Bogarts once In awhile) for only a couple of
bucks. If we don't care, who will?!

To the Editors
Students mistakenly assume several things about Ihe OffCampus Housing Office ( O C H O ) , with often costly results.
I had lo learn the hard way how Utile the office does lo keep
had landlords from ripping o f f students, and so I'd like l o
present a few hard facts to my fellow students. If 1 can prevent j 11st one other person from being ripped o i l , ibis leiiei
will have been worth it.
The ( K i l l ) decided Ibis suminei that it would slop
screening bad landlords from advertising llicii housing!
Knrlene Knrlson, head o f the O C H O and Neil Drown, Dean
for Student Affairs, were worried thai upset landlords
would sue the University if (hey continued screening for
bad landlords. As a result, almost nothing a landlord does
can now prevent him from advertising 10 unknowing
students on the off-campus housing board. Earlier ihis
month, lor example, my landlord, one Michael Kiekman,
broke a lease with me and my housemates by reining out
our house to someone else. We were all shocked when we
drove Into Albany 10 find out thai we had no place to slay;
nowhere 10 live, Yet, O C H O ' s new policy prevents them
from laking this landlord's name down. I was told that
even if this man is convicted in court for acting illegally
towards me and my housemates, O C H O will still refuse to
bun this guy's ads from their board!
In other words, ihe O C H O window has become little
more than a free source o f advertising for the landlords of
the Albuny area, and a cheap way lo hit the vulnerable sludeni market. Those students must, on their own, research
the record of each landlord. The University has given up on
its chance to try and protect students who ate looking lor
good off-campus housing from good landlords. Fortunately for students, the O i l Campus Association, a branch o f
the Student Association, is now Hying ils best 10 provide
some kind o f protection for students by providing ihem
with some information about bad landlords. Still, Ihe
University's decision not to protect ils students has already
caused needless suffering and financial loss.

The Union is you
T o the Editor:
No, ihe Student Union is not the Campus Center! It's
nol even ihe same thing us Sludent Association,
Ihe Sludenl Union is a grassroots organization lliul was
originally formed eight years ago when ihe green SUNY
buses were threatened Willi a lake ovei by CD I A. The
students weie successful in keeping Ihe green buses and
since I licit, ihe Albany Student Union has been involved ill
many efforts such as Ihe Save SUNY rally anil the 1 ollelt's
bookstore sit-in Ihree sears ago.
Recently. Ihe Sludent Union played an inipoiiani role in
gaining ihe right lor students in Albany lo tegisiei and vole
in their college community, Previously, students wishing lo
vole had to regislei in Ihe dislricl o f their parents' home
and vole by absentee ballot. However, students weie often
affected by legislation in Albans. Students can now regislei
and vole where Iheir voices can be heard as a block (most
elections are decided by less thai 10,000 voles — there are
more than 10,000 students ill Albany) and where ihey spend
most of Iheir time — ill Albany.
Now that students have the right to vole here, the Studeni Union is pari of a live group coalition registering
voters on campus lo help insure thai the students vvill exercise Iheir right 10 vole — whether in Albany or by absentee
ballot in another district.
What kinds of activities does the Sludenl Union involve
itself in? .lusi about any issue thai is pertinent to students,
be it a campus, local, state, or even federal issue (such as
Idler wriling campaigns to Senators and Congressmen to
protest cuts In student aid for tuition.) Because of its affiliation with the Student Association o f the Suite University (SASU — a statewide SUNY organization) the Student
Union has been effective in the past in dealing with statewide issues like the SUNY budget. Methods include nol only the more publicized rallies ul SUNY Central, bill intensive lobbying of slate legislators by students, However, victories can only be accomplished if enough students are willing to participate and speak up. I f students don'l defend
their own rights, no one else vvill.
This semeslei tl e Sludenl Union has plans 10 sponsoi a
eanditlatcs' I'oiuni foi congressional enndidales, among
othei things, fins is 10 be part ol 11 votei education campaign to make student voters aware of the issues and the
candidates. I his way students van vole with thought, nol
jusl vole.
Ihe main reason foi the Sludenl Union's existence is
you! 1 his is an organization thai will listen lo any student
who has something to'say - yet many students are unaware
of its existence. Apparently without the knowledge of the
majority of students, the Sludenl Union had a general interest meeting last week. If more people were aware of
Union meeting, perhaps Ihe Union could be a more effee-
T
T
E
R
live vehicle for student opinion on campus. W i t h this in
mind, ihe Student Union has decided to give students
another chance. There will be another general interest
meeting tomorrow night, Wednesday, October 7 at 7:00 pin
in LC 17. In order 10 be a more effective organization sensitive 10 student needs, more students must speak up and lei
the Union know what their needs are. A small number of
students can only speculate as to the needs and opinions o f
the majority of students. A n organization that attempts 10
speak for ihe student population needs input and support
from the student population.
The Student Union attempts 10 he as vocal as possible lo
notify students of its evenls, bin if Union membership
dwindles, the voice is quieter, For whatever reason - ignorance of the existence of ihe Student Union, misconceptions about its role on campus, or the by now all 100
familiar favorite — student apathy — the Student Union is
having trouble attraction membership and support form
the student body, there is strength In numbers - - but the
numbers must include you.

Drink to freedom
T o the Editor;
America is truly the land o f ignorant Intellectuals. We
never seem to realize how privileged we are 10 have free
discourse o f our misguided rhetoric.
Perhaps America is like a quad parly; the beer always
runs 0111 before everyone has had their fill and ihe students
complain for a few minutes before ihey stagger o f f to find a
belter parly (there are always parties to find if you have the
right friends). We always want more beer ami don't consider il possible to be without it. I never believed my patents
when they said "Stevie... drink your beer...children are
sober in E u r o p e , "
We hear a lot of opposition to the New York drinking
age. Who wants 10 he proofed? What are parlies like
abroad? Ihey don't proof in a few Central American
Countries-It's an invasion o f privacy. And you nevei have
to worry about getting a rltle-thcy send social evenls committee to your bouse to pick you up. Their parties are so
successful that most of these people never go home again.
O f course students in Islamic countries don't have beer at
their parties, hut Ibis doesn't make them dull. Did you hear
about the Iranian shindig thai lasted lor over a year? What
a blast I I hey had singing and slum ling ami all soils ol Inn.
What u turn out there was. fhe U.S. charge d'affaires and
his stall weie the guests of honor.
Kemembei lib A u i i n , the well rounded African fellow
who like 10 diess up in elaborate military costumes ami
throw lavish dinners? Hefore bidding laiewell to his euests
he invited Ihem hack for ihe nest evening 10 be served as
leftovers.
Poland is an liiteicsting country to celebrate in. It wasn't
always lJ5 percent Komaii 1 'atholic, you know. 1 hey eniei lalncd themselves with camp fires in the I'WO's, before die
allies invaded ihey weie really into " s o m o r e s " ol the
human variety, l o o k ,11 ihe Poles now...they're overparlyed and bankrupt. When they complain iibout not getting
enough beet they're treated to watei cannons ami riot
police.
I f you must rant and ruse, have a beei I'irsI and ihink
about what parlies are like in oilier countries, kemembei
that many foreign governments aie \ei> soeial—they wain
us 10 come ovei for some beers one day.
S
I f you're Intoxicated by this time d o n ' t despair, the real
meaning o f all this nonsense Is simple. The United States
guarantees our freedom and acts in the interests o f our
security and well being. Many people, nations, and other
political factions throughout the world are opposed to these
ideals and always had Iried to crush them. Hefore we rant
and rave we must compare our lives to theirs — our beer to
their vodka — our peace to theirs . . .

Tell it to Middle Earth
111 the Editor:
I am pleased l o see the ASP laking leadership in helping
make ihe University Community aware of problems of sexual assault and rape. Over Ihe past several years, ihe Middle
I i i i i h program and die Residential Fife staff have offered
and presented a number of programs and workshops on
Ibis lopie designated 10 increase awareness o f ihese problems, ' l o o often, however, student response has been
apathetic ul best. I hope your attempts will Increase campus
awareness and also assist those who are assaulted in reporting this Information in a timely fashion so that appropriate
intervention may commence immediately.
I would also like 10 comment on the statements atIt United to me in Inst Friday's ASP. Because Middle Earth
is prohibited from divulging the Identity o f any client, or
any client information, when we call to make counseling
appointments, we may only speak directly with the client
him or herself. I actually slated 10 ihe reporter thai delays
(such as have been alleged in Ihe ASP) in scheduling appoinimenis nevei last for three weeks' duration when we
have an accuiaie phone contact through which we can
speak to Ihe client directly, We may 1101 leave messages with
third panics. Iheie have been rare bin unfortunate incidents when clients have left wrong numbers, or for other
reasons cannot be reached directly at the numbers they give
us. Delays do unavoidably result in such instances.
We wish to eiieouiage any person who has a complaint
about Middle Fault's services to contact us. We want 10
know if we have pioblems with our procedures so we cun
make changes ami avoid further problems for many
other clients. W'e must insist, however, that Ihe client contact us directly, as we cannot discuss such concerns with
any third parly.

To the unknown driver
I n lite Editor:
I'm 1101 ceil.tin, but I lln'tik he was in his liile fillies 01
eaily sixties, l i e had brown hair thai was graying in the

was a SUNV \ bus driver, and he stopped to pick up a sludeni half a block Mom the Urevator/ Western snip because
be could see the student running lor the bus stop, lie was
obviously nol ilk' same driver who roared past me last

Midwest Retreat
When the Presidency gets to be
too. much for Ronald Reagan, he
can always retreat to Camp David
or his ranch in California. Now a
Nebraska man wants to give him a
third choice, right in between. Mark
Fickes is an 85-year-old retired
builder, who is trying to raise
100-thousand dollars for a
presidential retreat in Western
Nebraska. Fickes says he doesn't
expect the chief executive to endure
the state's broiling summers or
freezing winters, "But if we can gel
a President lo spend some time in
Ihe Midwest," he says, "that's a
plus."
Death Rule Broken

A British clergyman is writing a
handbook for emergency room doctors, so they can tell if patients arc
victims o f . . . w i t c h c r a f t .
The
Reverend Steve Morgan says he
started the project after helping
awaken a man who was hospitalized
in a trance after laking part in a
voodoo ritual. Morgan says his
manual will list such black magic
symploms as great strength,
violence, staring eyes, and "the
presence of evil."
The family of an Illinois
policeman who drowned while trying lo rescue a 14-ycar old boy last
month has been told il cannot collect death benefits because he did
not die according to the rules. Officer Larry Holder was a member of
the Illinois Police Association,
which provides $2,000 benefits to
the families of officers who meet
dculh by violent means. Bui the

must have been "shot, slabbed, or
beaten to death." Officials in the

Nature's Music
Vou might call il Ihe ultimate in
New Wave music: K M A H Radio, a
100-wall station in Menlo Park,
California, is attracting listeners
with the song of the sea. From ten
o'clock every night 'til seven-thirty
the next morning, the station
broadcasts nothing but the sound of
seagulls, foghorns, and Ihe surf
crashing on the shore. The Idea was
born of economic necessity, says
Frank Spinclla, who manages the
station, which is owned by Ihe local
high school. When funds ran short
a few months ago, he just put on
the roar of the ocean for a few days
— and the calls and letters started
coming in. Now it's a nightly
feature, appealing mainly to
students and insomniacs. The only
problem was ihe sea lions. " W c had
to take out the sea lions," Spinetta
says. "They sounded like pigs."

against Union, however, as the
Danes began to open up their
ground game.
Sophomore fullback Pat Harrison scampered for five yards to
get the Danes moving. By game's
end, Harrison had enjoyed his
finest afternoon as a Dane with 99
yards on 18 carries.
"The line did a great job," said a
modest Harrison. "We've been trying to pass more and I'm trying to
stabilize it with my running game.
A quarterback keep, two consecutive gives to Harrison and a fine
juggling reception by tight end Jay
Ennis brought the ball near midfield.
After Harrison carried the ball
for four more yards, Ford called for
Albany's patented split-end reverse
option pass play. It had worked the
week before against Brockport

Two plays later Pratt hit Dave

Albany touchdown. Albany tried a
two-point conversion but that failed
leaving them with the early 6-0 lead.
The Danes added to that lead
later in the second half. Starting on
their own 24 yard line, Albany let
their backficld do the work as Harrison and Dunham, who had 63
yards on the day, continued to cat
up yardage. But the big play of the
drive was a controversial 38-yard

through the fourth quarter Union
struck back. A Bob Bertagna interception gave the Dutchmen the
ball on their own 18 year line.
Steward led his team down field
with a passing exhibition hitting
eight complete passes along the
way. The final one gave Ihc Dutchmen Iheir first points of the game
as Stewart hit Rich Kcllahcr in the
end zone with 8:14 left to play. The
poinl after was good and the Dutchmen chalked up their first seven
points.
For Ihc Danes, il was not one of
Iheir more dominating wins this
season. A strong Union defense
forced Albany more to the ground
away from Ihc wide open style they
had shown against Brockport and

"They have a very good pass
defense. When coach Ford saw
that, he stuck lo the ground,"said
Dunham. "It was tough yardage lo

nabbed bronze. Bloomcr-Stem-Dann-Erma
George took sixth in the 4x880 relay, while
Hill grabbed sixth in the 200-meter dash,
and Smyth crossed the finish line fourth in
the M)• meter hurdles.
In the indoor season's final event,
Albany finished well. Bloomer ugain placed

NYSAIAW performance and finished second in the EAIAW. Stern raced to a
fourth place finslh in the 800 meter and
Ilill-Bloomcr-Stern-Dann enjoyed a sixth
place finish in the distance medley relay.
A team lhat only months earlier were 0-8
was now placing highly at regional competition. Everyone else felt lhat they had gone
as far as they could go. But While and his
troupes saw (heir success as only a icam
which began to show some potential.
"I fell lhat Bloomer could be an AllAmerican," praised Sniylh. Now Ihc Icam
was not only having a good lime ill WT's,
but were also being successful when they
run. While was beginning to see the fruits
of his efforts. The leatn that threw him a
birthday party after knowing him for two
weeks was seeing the birth of whal would
become Albany's most successful season In
a women's program,
Going Into the outdoor season, the
emergence of a truly credible relay Icam was
present. HIII-Smyth-Stcrn-Bloomcr were
developing rapidly in the 4x400-melcr relay.
Stern and Bloomer were running
phenomenally. The women were ready lo
conquer the world. But in the opening event
of (he spring season, they couldn't even
conquer Brockport. Brockport spoiled Ihe
Danes outdoor debut and once again
Albany was winlcss. But the women would
not stay winlcss for long or lose again as
they recorded six straight victories en route
to a 6-1 season. "The outdoor season was

crossed the tape in 58.72 good for a second
place finish and, much more importantly,
All-American status.
In the 800-mctcr final, Sue Stern did not
leave Bloomsburg empty-handed. She also
became an All-American, finishing sixth
with a time of 2:18.58. The 4x400 relay
team with the now familiar names Hill,
Smyth, Stern, and Bloomer barely missed
earning All-American status finishing
seventh and just out of the money.
Interestingly, that team was so psyched
up the night preceding the relay final that
they were seen running through the streets
of Bloomsburg passing the baton. "I was at
a coaches' social when I heard about these
crazy girls running around town. I quickly
realized that the girls on the move were my
girls," related White.
The women's track program is also on
the move. White is very pleased about the
progress Ihc team has made. For this year's
Icam White had an opportunity lo recruit (a
word he hales lo use) and had Iwiee as
idany girls turn out for Ihc cross-country
season.

The team is presently very young and
White is dedicated "to build the program to
a respectable image." He would also like to
see his entire team qualify for national competitions. The close feeling between the runners and White was pointed out by all as a
contributing factor to success. The runners
praise White for the team's march to
respectability and White credits the runners. In any event the final result is what
counts and no one inside the program or
out would have ever considered In
September that two Albany women would
be crowned All-American In May.
Patience by all involved, especially the
coach, to wait for results relieved pressure
on the runners. Eventually White's program worked and the rest snowballed.
While found it easy to relate to his female
runners and the favor was returned with
Dann expressing her thoughts on her coach
very concisely: "He is Ihe best coach I ever
had." The best deserves the best and Coach
Ron White's future as women's track and

The 6-1 record could be called a highlight
of the season, but it could not top what was
to come startirlg in Ihe NYSAIAW.
The relay team that was emerging could
not possibly climb any higher when they
finished first in their event, the 4x400-mctcr
relay. Bloomer, Stem, Hill, and Smyth had
reached what every track athlete strives for;
gold medals. The women athletes would not
stop at lhat event and placed high in other
events. Bloomer placed fourth In the

The Albany Stale men's soccer team had to settle for
a disappointing 2-2 tie when Brockport scored a goal
with a minute and a half remaining in the second overtime period, Saturday, in Brockport,
The Danes had taken the lead at 5:05 of the second,
extra ten minute period on John Isselhard's second
goal of the game. The tie left the Danes with a 2-2-2
mark for the season.
Coach Bill Schicffelin was disappointed with the
result. "We tried to protect our lead and they just
snuck one In on u s , " he said. "We became too protective, bringing the defense too close in to the goal."
Brockport scored first at 27:35 when Dane defender
Michael Miller miskicked a ball and Bob Barber ran
past him and netted an easy goal past a flat footed
goalie, Tom Merritt. Miller, a standout for the Danes
all season made one of his rare mistakes. "I guess he
just proved to us that he's human," said Schicffelin.
The Danes responded with a goal of their own at
53:10. Issclhard took a pass from Jerry Isaacs, beat a
defender and drilled it pass Brockport goalie Steve
Pauley from ten yards out.
Albany controlled the game and had two or three
good opportunities to win in regulation. "We were on
the thrcshhold, but we couldn't put the ball in the net.
It's frustrating, there was no reason why it should have
gone into overtime," said Schicffelin.
After a scoreless first overtime, Issclhard again look
a pass from Isaacs and beat Pauley to the right side.
According to Schicffelin, that was when the Danes
went into their shell: "We retreated so much, we
couldn't hold on." A ball in the penalty area bounced
over Merritt for the tying goal.
"We have to get on track. I thought the go ahead
goal would start to build some momentum," explained
SUNA STEINKAMP UPS
The Albany State men's soccer team had to settle lor a disappointing tie with Brockport.
Schicffelin. "It would have been a good win, but it
feels like a loss."
Except for the finish, Schicffelin was pleased with
the way his offense performed. Following last week's
loss to Hartwick, he felt that Issclhard needs to be integrated into the offense more. "Then son-of-a-gun,
Johnny goes out there and scores two," he said. "I
feel this team is ready and capable of an offensive explosion, we just have to work on finishing off a team.
We don't make the most of our opportunities."
Albany will have a chance to regain their winning
form on Wednesday at Union, The Dutchmen (0-5-1)
are looking to get into the win column against their
local rivals. The Danes then face Potsdam und Siena.
Schicffelin feels that Albany must win the next three
games. After the Danes get by their next three opponents, they will have key SUNYAC members against
Binghamton and Oneontu.

The mens cross country track team raised its record

Shapiro. I hope we can carry the momentum for the
next few weeks."
Albany's Ian Clements took first on the 5.15 mile
course finishing with a time of 27 minutes. Colgate's
Joe O'Connor took second with a time of 27:12.

the SUN Y 5, which will be held in a few weeks.

Women booters split pair in week

Slagel. What made France's goal remarkable was that
she went down in the first half with a head injury and
played the reaminder of the game with blurred vision.
Albany dominated play, outshooling Siena 21 shots
on goal to one. Even though Coach Any Kidder fell
the score should have been higher, she was optimistic
about the future of the team. "All we need is the kind
of experience and maturity to be able to dictate the
level of play in the game," said Kidder, "But the shifting of players (the return of Bartz and Anna Courtney, last years leading scorer) can lead to the ineffective way we have played."
Plagued with injuries and suffering a slight mental
letdown from a tie with Cortland, the seventh ranked
Albany State women's soccer team dropped a 3-1 decision to Colgate but salvaged the week by defeating
Siena 1-0.
With right halfback Karen Bartz out due to an injury, Colgate dominated play with' masterful onetouch. The Danes played flat, in spite of an early goal,
and really didn't start hustling until the last fifteen
minutes of the game.
At Siena on Thursday, the return of Bartz was marred by the absence of midfielder Gina Tucci, but the

Women harriers peddle to victory
By Mark Wizard
The women's cross country team helped Ron White
celebrate his birthday in high fashion on Saturday.
Freshman Kulliy McCarthy led the Danes to a 21-35
victory over Plattsburg with a course record time in
18:49.0. She tied the school record of Chris Gardner,
who set the mark in 1080. McCarthy's milestone also
placed her 26th on the all-time Albany course list. She
credited the achievement somewhat to her teammates.
"It really helped that we stayed together in the pack
for the first couple of miles. We had more team
depth," McCarthy commented.
The Albany squad was never really challenged. At
the first mile marker, four out of the top six runners
were Danes. McCArthy, who was clocked at 6:00 for
the first mile, had the lead the entire way and never
looked buck. Her closest challenger finished II
seconds behind her.
Coach White couldn't say enough about McCarthy
and tlie rest of the squad. "The win was a nice birthday present. It was a real nice team performance. I
consider Kathy potentially a slate caliber runner, and
to have a spread of 1:27 between first and fifth runner
Is marvelous."
Other top Albany runners who turned in outstanding performances were Siobhain Griffin, Karen Kurthy, Donna Burnham, and Belle D/amba. Griffin's
time of 19:15 was good for 50th place on the all-time
Albany course list. Kurihy was clocked at 19:23, Burnham at 19:32 and Dzamba at 20:16.
The next meet Is Saturday at home.

The library last week filed a "special request" with the State Division of Budget

"I fully agree with students: I think we

A statewide SUNY hiring freeze lasl

SASU conference promotes issue awareness
WRITER
SASU, the advocacy organization for
SUNY students, will hold its Fifth Annual
Ray Glass Student Action Conference,
beginning here today and continuing
through Sunday.
SASU president, Jim Tierney, said the
conference is being held during a critical
time for SUNY students. Citing Reagan's
student loan cuts and the State's SUNY
budget cuts, Tierney said the conference is
"part of the process of working together to
stop the destruction of higher education."
He said the conference will train students
on how to organize and become active to
"defend their education."

When a team gels a new coach and then
has an 0-8 record you dismiss the year as a
rebuilding year and look towards the
future, say two or three year'- from now.
When another team has a -5-I record,
finishes highly at the Nationals, crowns two
Ail-Americans and barely misses AilAmerican status in another event you
assume the team has been established for
many years and has an experienced coach.
This is the story of the women's track
and field program and Coach Ron White's
progression during the 1981-82 season.
During the cross country season the women
and their new head coach could not win.
They were even shut-out five limes. White
had been appointed coach the March before
and had no opportunity to recruit. "I
basically built a pick-up squad. I found
people on perimeter road and in classes.
The season was a disaster," said Coach
White.
The team ran against tough competition
and became demoralized as the season wore
on. Despite their winless record the women
and their coach had a "fun time and were
dedicated."
"We arc very close, We're all concerned
about each other and everybody is supportive as a team," commented Julie Smyth,
member of the Danes' very successful 4x400
meter relay team.
Despite the lack of success in the fall,
White was too experienced as a coach to be
demoralized for too long. White had coached the men's swimming and diving team for
15 years. "It was a very demanding program and I needed a change. Fortunately I

When the Albany Stale Great Danes marched onto University Field to tangle with
their cross-town rivals, the Union College
Dutchmen, there was a bit more at stake
than just winning a football game.
First, the Danes were coming in
undefeated with a 2-0 record and had just
received national recognition by landing a
third place ranking in the Division III
polls.The Danes did not want to spoil their
early season success.
They didn't.
Second, the Danes remembered last
year's I0-7 loss at the hands of the Dutchmen. It was a loss (hat at the time severely injured Albany's chances of participating
in post-season play . It was a loss that ignited the young fiery Albany-Union rivalry.
Albany certainly wanted to even the score.
They did.
Before a large crowd Saturday, the Danes
defeated the Dutchmen I7-7 evening Ihe
local rivalry at l-l and lifting their own
record to 3-0 this season.
"It feels great," said halfback John
Dunham. " I think we needed to regain our
respect back. We went to play the ball
game as hard as we could.
In the opening minutes of the contest, it
appeared that Albany would be snakebitten again by the Dutchmen. On a third
and eight situation during the Danes' first
possession of the game, quarterback Tom
Pratt found himself under heavy Union
pressure. Pratt was jolted and fumbled the
ball setting up Union's first serious threat
of the game.
The Dutchmen didn't waste any time getting started.Taking over the Albany 40-yard
line, Union quarterback Dan Steward, who
threw for 234 passing yards,completing 23

SASU's Executive Vice President Scotl
Wcxler, said thai 150 student leaders from
all SUNY schools arc expected to attend.
Wexler said a variety of workshops and
guest speakers will familiarize students with
all the major issues facing students and
make them more effective leaders in
organizing amd motivating their constituents.
Speakers scheduled include Peter Peyser,
"one of the best Congressmen in terms of
higher education," according to Wcxler.
John Dow, a candidate for Congress
will speak on the nuclear issues, said Wcxler.
"Teach someone to organize and they
can address and challenge any issue,"
Tierney said. Workshops leaching the importance and methods of organization arc
included on lite conference agenda.
Other workshops include: "Financial
Aid," which will discuss the current stale of
federal and slate student aid programs;
"The Draft," a discussion of draft experiences and alternatives; and "Tuition
and Budget," a discussion of the politics of
rising tuition and budget cuts. The
workshops cover a broad spectrum of issues
facing college students. "Most students
think their doing just fine," said Tierney.
"But there is a crisis in American Society.
A lot of Reagan's policys are incredible."
Wexler will conduct a workshop on the
multi-phase Rolling Plan, the SUNY Central Administration's plan to deal wilh the
increasing stale budget cuts. "They claim
it's the same high quality program," he
said, "but it's just an excuse and rationalization of program cuts and retrenchments,"
Registration for the conference will take
place in the SA office from 4:30-7:30 p.m.
There is a five dollar registration fee.
Feeling indignant over the reverses taking
place in higher education and facing college
students, Tierney said, "We have lo wake
up, we are losing all Ihe things we have
foughl for and this conference is going to
show someone to stop."

Mishler also noted thai any election
district may be established for the convenience of the voters. Low student volcr turnout in the 1981 election has been attributed lo the inaccessibility of the 15th
ward polling place located at St. Margaret

Corso believes since the district must be

campus.
Subparagraph five of the Election Law

Mishler questioned why this booth was
