For 14 Albany State Great Danes, Saturday's game against the Marist College Red
Foxes was the ideal way to end a college
football career. The Danes sent their departing players o i l ' with an all-out 48-0 battering o f the Marist College Red Foxes to end
Ihe 1982 campaign with a 6-3 record.
" I ' m very happy," said linebacker Bob
Cohen alter the lopsided victory. He is one
ol' several players probably planning not to
return next season. " W e could have had a
better season, you're never totally satisfied
until you win a national championship."
The players who wore their purple
uniforms for the final time in Saturday's
game included quarterback T o m Pratt,
defensive back Dave Hardy, offensive
guard Don Cordell, center Dave Krcc/ko,
place kicker Tom Lincoln and 1981 E C A C
Upstate New York Player o f the Year Jim
Canficld.
Canfield was humbled by the tremendous
victory in the final game. He made a long
awaited return from an injury which
sidelined him for three games this season.
" I didn't want to miss the final o n e , "
said Canficld. Fittingly, the big defensive
tackle's final play o f the season was a crunching sack o f Marist quarterback J i m
Clcary, " I had a torn ligament in my knee
and a chipped bone In my elbow, but I was .
pretty healthy."

guided his learn to a fourth touchdown.
Prall banded the ball lo Dunham on the
three-yard line lo increase the score lo 28-0.
On Albany's next possession, the senior
quarterback reached another milestone in
his successful career. When he connected
with wide receiver Pete McGrath for tin 18
yprd gain, it was Pratt's one-hundredth
completion o f his career.
Albany did not waste any opportunities
throughout the game. After Pratt's pass lo
Dunham brought Ihe ball lo Ihe Marisl
13-yard line, Lincoln led ihe field goal unit

half to iry a 27-yard attempt. Lincoln's
boot splil the uprights as time expired sending Albany into ihe lockcrroom with a
31-0 advantage.
The Danes refused to slop pouring on Ihe
points in the second half. Roth returned to
the quarterback slot, leading Albany
downfield. He helped his own cause witli a
17-yard run on a quarterback keep. On first
and goal from the Marist four-yard line,
Roth gave the ball to mnninghack Monte
Riley, a young back who made tremendous
strides with Ihe Danes this season. Riley
carried the bull into the end zone making
Ihe score 38-0.
Pratt returned on ihe Danes' next series
but could not bring the offense beyond the
Marisl 18-yard line, Lincoln was called

those o f the powerful Albany teams o f the
past. Albany relied almost exclusively on
the wishbone ground attack with windy,
cold playing conditions making an extensive
passing a t t a c k a l m o s t I m p o s s i b l e .
Nonetheless, the weak Marist defense could
not contain the Dane offense. Albany
churned out 574 yards o f total offense while
the defense limited the Fox wishbone offense to only 121 yards.
The Danes started their assault early. On
their second possession, junior quarterback
T o m Roth, who enjoyed his finest game as
a Dune, handed the football to sophomore
fullback Patrick Harrison. The small
fullback plowed into the visitor's end zone
from one yard out. Lincoln followed with
his first of six consecutive extra-point kicks.
" W h e n the wind is blowing so h a r d , "
Ford commented, "winning the coin toss is
worth a lot o f points."
It certainly was valuable to the Danes,
who won the toss but took the wind rather
than the ball. John Dunham added another
six point tally as he bolted into the end zone
on a five-yard scamper with 5:20 remaining
in the opening quarter. For the halfback, it
was the first o f three touchdowns during
the afternoon lifting his season's total to
ten. That total tied the record held by T o m
DeBloid set in 1975.
Albany continued to molest the Foxes
with another score in the first quarter. Roth
elected to keep the ball on first down and
raced untouched into Marisl's end zone. By
the end of the first quarter, Albany already
owned a 21-0 lead.
When play resumed in the second
quarter, the Danes had a new quarterback
at the helm. Making his final appearance on
University Field, Pratt was sent out lo command the wishbone one last lime. Although
hobbled by a hamstring pull and torn enrliledge, the senior Dane signal-caller didn't
want lo miss his final game.
" I really wattled one more shot. I fell I was

Andropov will "quickly be Ihe strongest and most effective Soviet leader since Ihe death of Stalin. "
Brezhnev successor viewed as 'ruthless9
but willing to discuss arms control
By Evan Schwartz
Yuri V. Andropov, successor to Ihe late Leonid 1.
Brezhnev as General Secretary o f the Sovicl Union,
has only been in power for approximately one week.
Bui SUN YA political science professor and established
Russisn foreign policy expert Erik P. Hoffmann
speculated that the former KCil) head will last "maybe
ten years" and is convinced " h e will, quite quickly, be
the. strongest and most effective
Soviet leader since Ihe death of
NfiWS
Stalin."
a

A l t h o u g h knowledge on Ihe
AflSlySIS
68-year old Andropov only recently
began to develop, Hoffmann described him as " f o r midable in many ways" and " m o r e intelligent, more
sophisticated,
more
decisive,
more i n eependenl—minded" than his predecessors.
Professor Henyrk Baran, a teacher o f various Soviet
studies courses at Albany, believes that Andropov "is
undoubtedly a ruthless man in a system thai rewards
rulhlcssness in politics."
Hoffmann thought that Andropov will not pursue
more o f a hard line in dealing with foreign policy.
"The chances are that he is willing to talk seriously
about arms c o n t r o l , " Hoffmann said, but added "this
will not mean thai he will be willing to put an end to
Soviet involvement.in third world countries."
The fact that Andropov was Ihe chief architect of
Ihe repression policies for the 1956 uprising in
Hungary is one of the main sources of informaiion indicative of his domineering personality. Baran said,
"Andropov's handling of Hungary certainly gives
evidence that he is capable o f deviousness and the use
of Torce to achieve Soviet objectives," while Hoffmann cmnhasized that, " A n d r o p o v was quite impress-
ed with ihe economic performance of Hungary after
Ihe installation of Janos Kader as First Secretary of ihe
Hungarian Communist Party," implying thai A n dropov lends lo favor supprcsslonalory methods in
government.
In addition, " A s former head of Ihe KGB, he has a
more realistic vciw o f ihe situation in ihe country," according to Baran. However, Baran doesn't see this as
an incication thai the new leader will crack down further on Soviet dissidents, since " T h e crackdown that
has been in progress is already extremely extensive."

The financial aid crisis of the past year is over, according lo
Donald Whitlock, Director o f Financial Aids and Harvey Huth,
Director of Student Accounts. Things are now returning lo normal
with money starling lo flow in from the government.
Whitlock said thai late federal appropriations decisions and increased processing were the main reasons for the delay o f financial
aid monies lo SUNYA.
WhllloL'k indicated thai foi the most pari, money Is flowing well
now, Inn cited backlogs in the Pell (lianl program which he attributed IO new validation procedures ami follow-up paperwork
forced on his department by ihe U.S. Department o f Education, in
addition, Whitlock said ihe decision by Clalrbornc Pell lo have Ihe
program switched lo his name caused delays.
Further problems with the Pell Program exist because awatds may
be recomputed based on a study to be conducted ovet Chrlslmas
recess, according to whitlock,
Whitlock expressed dissatisfaction with requirements and paperwork delegated b\ the government, " I he enrollment of the insiiinllon is static, bin out workload is Increasing, he said. "Because programs are being cut, people think our load is diminished, liven i f a
loan is denied, we slill have lo process i t . "
Whitlock sttid that because of the Increasing burden of office
puporwork, his office has had lo devote more resources to paperwork and em back on counseling services.
All of ihese problems inlcrruptcd the cash flow this semester,
Whitlock said, ami created difficulties. He said that now, for Ihe
most part, the situation lias improved, and there is now less student
pressure.
From his end of the financial aid process. H u l h shared many o f
Whlllock's feeling. He said that the strongest feeling he had at this
point, after what his office and the students had enduied, was appreciation with students for being patient and the staff for developing innovative methods io alleviate problems.
Among staff innovations, Hull) said, were a "student inquiry
f o r m , " which helped eliminate long lines by allowing students to fill
out the forms and gel responses in Ihe mail, and a policy of
disseminating aid cheeks by mail, again reducing lines by
eliminating Ihe need for students to come lo ihe office repeatedly.
Hulh asserted'that delays in aid can be traced lo Ihe federal
government. The delays, he said, averaged aboul 6 to 8 weeks,
depending on the program,' when compared l o last year. Federal
changes in the award schedule numbered about 850 — and the
average amount of change has been 36 dollars per student, he said.
One future benefit of student inquiry forms, said H u l h , was lhat
with the expected addition of word processing machines, the office
could delertnine patterns in student inquiries and establish standard
responses to them, thus saving more lime. He said lhat he was pleased with bis office's ability lo get NDSI. checks out within 10 to 14
days, bin reminded students thai Ihey must sign promissory notes lo
receive their checks.
Whitlock said thai he and his entire staff greatly appreciated student patience and understanding in Ihe face of difficult and
frustrating circumstances, " i t ' s been a nightmare for us this year,"
Whitlock said.
Whitlock said lhat student financial aid forms for next year had
been delayed, and he anticipated them by mid-December. He advised students to pick them up before imersession.

Poll criticizes Reagan
New York
(AP) A majority o f Americans think Ihe outcome o f the
mid-term elections was a signal for President Reagan to
change his economic policies, according to an Associated
Press NBC News poll.
In the poll, 56 percent said the election results indicate
lhal people arc generally displeased with Rcaganomics. In a
followup question, 54 percent said said the outcome o f the
elections means the president should change his economic
policies.
The poll said about half o f the people who voted earlier

according to how they felt about Reagan's economic
policies.
Fourty-threc percent of the people who voted for a
Republican congressional candidate said they did so
because they support Reagan's economic program, while 45

they did so because they oppose Rcaganomics.
In Ihe poll, respondents were about evenly divided over

Tax cuts lack votes
Washington, D.C.
(AP)I Republican congressional leaders informed President
Reagan on Thursday lhal he simply docs nol have the voles
to advance the lasl phase o f his income lax cut to January.
Senate Majority leader Howard I I . Baker and House
Republican Leader Robert H . Michel delivered that
message—along with sonic other unpleasant news—in their
first conference with Ihe president since the Nov. 2 election.
Reagan is considering asking Congress lo push up the
date o f the lax cut—the third installment of his 25 percent
income tax reduction over tbrce years—as a way to
stimulate the economy.
Under lhal proposal, Ihe 5 percent cut in tax rates due
Jan. I , 1984, and the second 10 percent reduction in the
amount of lax withheld from worker paychecks, due next
July 1, would instead lake effect Jan, 1 1983.
That change would increase a looming record deficit,
already projected al upwards o f $170 billion, by about $15
billion, and the Republican leaders said they feared it
would have Ihe effect of increasing interest rales as well.
The leaders also predicted it would be difficult to make
further cuts in non-defense spending, despite Reagan's
assertion in New Orleans on Tuesday that lhal is precisely
where he intended lo cut.
Baker said he believed Reagan would propose that the
lame-duck session of Congress pass a jobs program to
repair highways and bridges financed by fivc-ccnt-a-gallon
increase i n gasoline taxes.
Transportation Secrclary Drew Lewis has said that Proposal would create about 320,000 jobs. Reagan prefers not
to call it a jobs program, since he opposed Ihe public-works
approach l o the unemployment dilemma during the campaign.
The Northeastern Association o f the Blind will be

Reagan to announce MX plan
Washington, D.C.
(AP) President Reagan will announce his long awailccl
recommendation on a basing method for Ihe M X missile
Monday, jusl before a major televised speech on arms control, a White House official said Thursday.
The president is likely t o call on Congress t o adopt the
Air Force plan for closely spaced missile silos, a plan called
"dense pack" al the Pentagon, the official said.
The arms control speech will propose lhat Ihe Soviet
Union improve ils system o f notifying the United Slates of
planned missile tests, to multiple missile firings, according
to administration sources.
In a nationally televised speech at 8 p.m. EST from the
Oval Office, the president will offer proposals designed to
avoid a recurrence o f the bitter exchange that clouded the
beginning o f strategic arms reduction talks in June.
Reagan, in his speech, will suggest advance notice of
multiple tests as one of a number o f "confidence-building"
measures lhat could improve U.S.-Sovlcl relations,the
sources said Thursday,
Another will call for improving the 'hot l i n e " between
Washington and Moscow, said ihe sources, who asked not
lo be Identified,
The decision could raise immediate controversy over
whether "dense pack" would violate a provision of the
1979 S A L T I I treaty against additional fixed Intercontinental missile launcher. The treaty was never ratified, but the
United Siaies has promised l o abide by it.
Walesa blackmailed?
New York
(AP) Polish church officials have been shown pictures and
have heard tape recordings o f Lech Walesa in "sexually
compromising situations," apparently in an effort to
blackmail the popular union leader, NBC news reported
Thursday night.
The materials were shown to Roman Catholic church officials at u (irivnte-.meetlng wilh Ihe Polish security agents
shortly before Walesa was released front detention last
weekend, according to Ihe report by John Cochran on

NBC qirotcd Walesa as responding: " I am nol suprised
by these charges. I expected such attacks from my enemies
as long as 15 months ago. A n y such attacks are only a plus
for me. No one will believe I h e m . "
The pictures and tapes, along with documents the security agents claim implicate Walesa in financial irregularities,
may be used to discredit the 39-year-old union leader i f he
tries t o become a public figure again, the report said.
Library hours extended with work-study hiring
By Deb P r o f e t a
FDITORtAl. ASSISTANT
The university library will be Increasing
its operating hours beginning today, following a partial restoration of a federal cutback
making it possible t o hire more work-sludy
students, according t o Director o f
Libraries, Joseph Nitecki.
The library's new hours arc: Monday
through Thursday, 8 a.m.-l 1 p.m.; Friday,
8 a.m.-10 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m.-8 p.m.;
and Sunday, n o o n - l l p.m. During finals
week, the hours will be extended at Ihe
latest until I a.m.
Nitecki said the library began Ihe
semester with an additional 300 work-study
hour deficit than was originally anticipated.
With the added hours, Ihe library is " n o w
close t o (fulfilling) the 300 hours
shortage," he said.
In the lasl two weeks, 20-30 work-sludy
students have been assigned 10 the library,"
Nitecki added.
He claimed, " t h e restored schedule is
very close lo what wc had lasl year, with only a few hours difference, This is Ihe best we
can do presently with student allocations."
In addition to the shortage of work-study
hours, the library endures Ihe effects o f " a n
indefinite (hiring) freeze of 16 positions,"
said Nitecki. Vacancies may be filled,
" B u t , " he said, " 1 6 frozen positions must
be maintained." Nitecki added thai the
library nosv has close to 25 vacancies.
The main problem slill remains " a
very severe shortage o f s t a l l " in work-sludy
and full-time positions, he said.
The deficit is fell equally in all departments o f the library, said Active Head o f
the Reference Department Bill Young.
Insot: Director o l libraries J o s e p h N i t e c k i ; Student w o r k i n g behind c h e c k o u t desk
Willi federal funding restored, Ihe library can now hire more work-study students.
"People have been pulling in extra-effort,
definitely," he said.
Although the reference department did
receive " a l least one work-study student/ 1
said Young, " t h e reference desk will be exleiuiing services by one houi a week, on
Saturday," Young said his deparment has
suffered a cutback o f five work-study hours
ol' reference service a week.
The reference department must also combin ihe fact lhal " u n t i l very recently, wc
have been unable 10 fill certain clerical positions," said Young. Another problem is
lhat the reference desk is staffed by profes*
sional librarians. Young said, " I l Likes
longer 10 find replacements becuse wc must
recruit nationally,"
In spite of these added complication,
Young feels lhal wilh the added help "certain projects which were slopped will begin
again and increase efficiency all a r o u n d . "
As a result of the assistance, Young said,
"the reference service will be (provided) until 6 p.m. on Saturday as il was lasl year."
Although, "as wc slart plans for next
semester, we have to see if we will provide
extra hours on Friday," he said.

Feminist Joseph vows
to defend minority dignity
By D a v i d M i c h u c l s o n
STAFF WRITER
Describing herself as a visionary,
with a strong political ideology t o
take into consideration " t h e needs
o f the people," Gloria Joseph lectured to a packed Campus Center
Assembly Hall yesterday on coalition building and the women's
movement.
Joseph, the author o f numerous
works on classlsm, sexism, and
racism, is a professor o f social
science al Hampshire College i n
Amherst, Massachusetts.
From a "black, feminist perspective," Joseph said she is committed
to " c o n f r o n t , challenge, and combat any and all instances o f forces
that deny the oppressed their dignit y . " She told the group o f mostly
women that it is the power and
patriarchy from the white men in
this society lhal must be challenged.
Joseph, throughout the lecture,
carefully categorized and described
the roles and relationships among
" t h e victims o f ihe peculiar
Americanization o f racism, sexism
and classism."
" F e m i n i s m , " she said, "lakes a
back seal to racism. White women
still have skin privilege." She
described how black males constitute a highly disproporlionate
share o f the imprisoned and
unemployed. Consequently, she explained,black families arc struggling
for "basic survival."
" B o t h issues have 10 be
symmetrically addressed," one
woman later asserted during the
question-answer period. She said
one should not make priorities in
the struggle against oppression.
"Racism is more deadly than sexism in this c o u n t r y , " Joseph
replied. " I f anyone disagrees Ihcy
have half a b r a i n . "
" 1 have a half a brain then,"
another upset woman said, jokingly
offering to pool her half wilh the
other woman.
" W h a t arc we righting f o r , " n
third woman shouted out.
Joseph said this is what coalition
building was all about: discussing
Ihe " l i n k s " and relationships between sexism and racism. She Ihen
suggested, " w h i l e women are not
listening 10 what (black women)
are saying."
"Black women have to go open
the eyes of while w o m e n , " She
said, "Ihcy've (black woman) gone
through the most oppression. She
called black women " t h e last frontier o f unlappcd resources for
leadership."
Joseph criticized Ihe National
Organization for Women (NOW),
contending thai ihere is racism in
the organization, " N O W believes
lhal afler a few reforms and a few
belter officials, everything will be
alright," she said. "They're becoming part of the 'old boy n e t w o r k . ' "
" T h e grassroots movement gives
me hope and optimism
for
change," Joseph said. She described how women were meeting in
towns throughout ihe country
working in "meaningful, effective"
ways for change.
Joseph described a "quadrangle
of struggles" among the oppressed.
She said black women have 10 work
and cooperate wilh black men but
should still fighl sexism. Similarly

added lhal lie was "more lllilli anxious lo
increase hours" il lie could gel more help.
Nitecki said he would "very much like l o g o
back 10 lasl year's schedule."
Presently, Niiccki maintained, ihe hours
are "almost exactly Ihe same as what they
used l o b e . " He also added " t h e lecture

While Joseph believes lhat oppressed groups should mainlain

The objective being a "complete

10% OFF ALL MAJOR REPAIRS
Disappoinled in SASU and complaining o f administrative and atlitudinal problems within the organization, Randi Goda, SASU Vice President for campus affairs has announced her resignation, effective next
week.
Goda, an Onconia junior serving as VP for campus affairs since June
1982, has presented a ihrcc-pagc list o f grievances and suggestions to
SASU. Her paper criticizes SASU for having an "elitist a l t i t u d e , "
alienating students, "lack o f professionalism" and " p o o r fiscal
prudence."
" A lot o f structural and organizational changes must be m a d e , " Goda
said. "The organizaiion has a lot o f potential, but It's hardly used to any
capacity."
SASU Vice President Scoti Wcxler said there is no heir apparent to
Coda's position, and thai ihe 15-man Board of Directors will decide upon a
replacement later this month. " 1 don't think anybody could take my
place," Goda said. "There's nol a need."
As Vice President for campus affairs, Goda was one o f three SASU cxecutives, which included Wcxler and President Jim Ticrney. Goda said she
acted as a liaison between SUNY campuses and SASU, travelling and
working out problems.
Goda, who presently lives in Albany, said she will continue working this
weekend while attending a SASU-sponsored community college conference
Friday through Sunday al Albany. Wcxler said her formal resignation will
be accepted next week.
Coda's SASU career began in 1981 when she served as an Onconia
delegate. " I was a good delegate," she said. "They wanted me 10 run for
(Vice President o f campus affairs), but admitted she was " n o l up 10 p a r "
With Wcxler and Ticrney. " I was not as experienced. 1 hadn't even been
around a year."
She also criticized SASU for attracting primarily Albany people and not
cultivating enough student Involvement, especially women. The staff, she
wrote, is "exploited and unhappy."
"Cultivating student leadership should be a primary f u n c t i o n , " she conlended. Her paper listed these complaints; "Inadequate staff meetings and
coordination of effort. Not professional, 100 many screw-ups. Elitist

Healed outbursts and accusations
highlighted Ihe instructive historical forum,
"Perspectives: Lebanon and Israel — Crisis
and A f t e r m a t h , " sponsored by Chapel
House and held last nlghl in t h " Humanities
Lounge.
The presentation, attended by about 75
people, was opened by Chapel House
Director Fr. Bill Ryan explaining thai Ihe
goal of the session was to present " g o o d ,
solid information on the situation. We arc
concerned because what is done in the name
or religion in one part of the world affects
religion in all parts of the w o r l d . "
The session featured three speakers —
two Lebanese and one Israeli who were
each allowed 15 minutes lo speak. After
their speeches, debates erupted between the
speakers as some in the audience threw up
difficult questions for argument.
Speaking first was Carl Barbir, Professor
o f Middle Easlcrn HIslory at Siena College
and a native of Lebanon. Barbir primarily

Central Council
votes to impeach
off-campus
representative
By Liz Reich
SIAII HHIII.H
Central Council voted Wednesday night
to ImpV .ch off-campus representative Neil
Siegel occausc of excessive absenteeism.
The impeachment means that there is
enough evidence lo warrant a hearing on
whether Siegel will be removed from Central Council. The hearing will be December
I.
Ccnlral Council Chair Jeff Fromm said
he was not al liberty lo give specifics, but
did say that Siegel was impeached on the
grounds of neglect and malfeasance staled
in the Council's constitution. Fromm said,
" 1 asked Neil lo resign and he failed lo do
so. There was sufficient grounds for impeachment."
Siegel explained that he had a class on
Wednesday nights. Siegel said, " I missed
more than 25 percent of roll call voles. I
missed eight voles in one day because I had
a lest." Siegel thinks he deserves to be on
Ihe Council.
Mark Nelson, who heads the Internal Affairs Committee, which brought Ihe Impeachment charges againsl Siegel, said,
" T h e reason the Impeachment proceedings
were brought againsl Neil was that Neil had
broken the Central Council rules. I believe
Instituting a hearing was necessary."
Off-campus representative Milch Flick
said, "Personally, I think there are many
other Central Council members who don't
fulfill requirements. There arc a lot of
members wno don't do the productivity
they're supposed lo. My opinion is that Neil
is being used as an example. He is a concerned student who comes up with ideas."
Flick continued to say, " 1 disagreed wilh
Neil on ihul when he came to Central Council, I presumed he knew the meetings would
be on Wednesday nighls. Thai shows a lack
of responsibility on his pari. Bui maybe he
jusl needed a warning.
Now that the
is coming lo a close, things should be different."
The vole lo impeach Siegel was 17 In
favor, 12 opposed and one abslention. It
was done by secret ballot at an executive
meeting which excluded non-members of
Central Council. The hearing will also be an
executive meeting.
Off-campus representative Lee Eisner expressed some of ihe reservations she fell
about the situation, saying, " I have mixed
feelings. Neil didn't let people know he was
having difficulty. That meeting (he missed)
was an important one. 1 don't think he
realized how important. The fact thai he
hail a class was unfortunate."
•
Nabecl Khouri of S U N Y A and Dr. Steven
Leibowitz, assistant director of the Israeli
govcrnmenl press office.
Last at the podium, Leibowitz contended, " W e (Israel) did in Ihis war whai any
nation would have done lo preserve its integrity. The siege of Beirut was tragic — It
caused deep damage lo Ihe Israeli people
and to the Image q f Israeli people abroad,
but the P L O made us fight ihis war. They
hid behind the civilians."
Alter he finished, an angry Khouri stood
up and accused Leibowitz of quoting the
official Israeli line, while he and Uarbir, as
academics, were attempting lo analyze Ihe
situation. He demanded to know why a
PLO represenlative was nol invited. Addrcsssing Lcibowiiz directly, Khouri said,
" W h e n you use the word terrorist, you
should take perceptions into account and
include Israeli violence."
Khouri, speaking second, traced Ihe recent Israeli-Palestinian conflict back to
1948, after Israel acheived independence,
when Middle Eastern nations agreed upon a
"national pact." However, he pointed lo
various factors arising in the 1950's and
50's which strained the p a d and threatened
peace.
Khouri eiled Ihe rise of Nasserism and
leftist movement in Israel, population
growth among Shiitc musllms in Lebanon
and a buildup of Palestinians nrounds major cities — especially Beirut — who shacked up in shanty towns. These and other
political and economic conflicts, coupled
with Ihe growth of an illegal Phalangisl
militia, produced tensions which led lo the
Lebanese civil war in 1975.
Khouri continued to say thai this year's
Israeli invasion of Lebanon was designed lo
aeheive three goals. First, he said, was lo
destroy Palestinian nationalism, second was
lo strengthen the Maronilc and Phalangisl
positions in Lebanon, and third lo establish
a firm looolhold in southern Lebanon.
Khouri said only the third goal was accomplished.
In opening his talk, Leibowitz pointed
out thai after Lebanon's civil war, it ceased
l o exist as a nation, and instead became 100
different fcirdoms. He contended thai
Israel had no designs over Lebanese soil.
After its expulsion from other Arab
countries, Leibowitz said that Lebanon was
Ihe only place from which Ihe PLO could
operate againsl Israel. Israel's 1978 attempt
Middle East."
A l Ihe conclusion of Lcibowilz's speech,
he was barraged by questions from the audience. One man, obviously angry, stood
up and asked Lcibowiiz whether he had
ever asked himself why, i f Ihe Israelis are
nol lerrorists, innocents were massacred in
Beirut Ihis fall. Leibowitz responded that
Israel only wanted peace wilh its northern
neighbor.
Lcibowiiz was immediately accused o f
avoiding Ihe question by another agitated
man across the room. " W h a t Is Palestine,
and who arc Ihe Palestinians? Jusl answer
"The siege of Beruit was tragic — it caused deep damage to
the Israeli people and to the image of Israeli people abroad,
but the PLO made us fight this wai."
— Steven Leibowitz
lo clear the P L O from Lebanon failed, he
asserted, because as soon as the Israelis lefl,
ihe P L O would re-enter. In ihis fall's conflict, he said Israel was determined not lo
make the same mistake.
During his speech, the Lebanese Khouri
offerred two futuristic visions for Lebanon
— one pessimistic, one optimistic. The
pessimistic scenario, said Khouri, was the
continuation of the status quo, with foreign
forces remaining in Lebanon, fighting
amongst themselves and undermining ihe
Lebanese government. Optimistically,
Khouri hoped for Ihe clearance of all
foreign forces f r o m Lebanon, w i l h
American military pressure, and the reconciliation of conflicting factions within
L e b a n o n t h r o u g h President
Amin
Cicmaycl's role as arbitrator, This, coupled
wilh the establishment of a Palestinian stale
on llie West Bank and Cia/a strip would be
"good for Israel and for peace in the whole
t h a i ! " the man demanded. Lcibowiiz, now
visibly irritated, responded wilh a history of
the llrilish mandate and the 1948 partition
plan.
Another questioner directed his question
10 all three men. "Does ihe PLO really
wanl to push Israel into the sea," he asked.
A l ihis poinl some members of ihe audience
suggested Lcibowiiz read the PLO charier.
He read several ankles, none of which
specifically called for ihe destruction of
Israel. The first questioner arose and accused Lcibowiiz of again avoiding Ihe question. Another man jumped up and shouted,
" Y o u got the answer!"
At this point, ihe liisl speaker, Barbir,
seized Ihe moment ami said, " I f we continue lo project present hostilities, like the
Interpretation of the P l . t ) charier l o mean
that it calls lor ihe destruction of Israel, we
foreclose all hopes lot reconciliation and
just peace for both sides."

t's been a strange week. It all started out on
Sunday Morning, November 14, 1982:
I bought the New York Times, and twocans of pepsi and
crawled under the covers !o read, and came across the Book
Review. Scanning the list to acquaint myself with what was being
read more than anything else in this fine nation, I came across such
profound titles as Garfield Takes The Cake, Here Comes Garfield,
Garfield Bigger Than Life. Garfield Weighs In, Garfield Gains
Weight, and Garfield At Large. Six books about cats on the New
York Times Bestseller list. I don't understand! I mean, like, what
the hell is going on? Are cats that convincing an escape? All of us
here at Aspects have decided to write cats books also. After all, if
Jim Davis can do it, we can do it better. Our titles are going to be

Monday Morning, November 15, 1982:
Once again, I attempt to read The Times. In its usual informative
style, it reports that our own Nancy Reagan "used helicopters from
the Presidential fleet on three occasions when she traveled to
Camp David, Md., at a cost to the taxpayers of $3,110, White
House Records show." Seems old Nance was sometimes accompanied by her decorator led Graber, of L.A. Seems that Nance
and her pal don't have too much time these days to take the 90
minute journey by car. After all, she shouldn't have to sit in a car
for a few hours when it only costs a tad over three thousand dollars
to make the trips. I mean, why should she?
Now if I had it my way, I'd have her come to Albany some charming morning in early February and make a little-ole excursion up
to SUNYA on our reliable busses from North Allen Street at 8:55
AM. The temerature would be 10 degrees below not including the
wind-chill factor, and just so she doesn't get spoiled by too much
special treatment, two or three buses will pass her by.

Monday Afternoon, November 15, 1982:
I finally met someone I'd been watching for months. (I always
see him reading the paper) We were talking about what we each
do, and when I told him I work about forty hours a week on
Aspects, he asked me "What's Aspects?"
Tuesday Night, November 16, 1982:
I went to visit my dear friend Damian to give him an album to
review. Though it might not be obvious, he is doing much better.
The treatment is helping immensely. Cards and flowers are appreciated, however. (Wednesday was his birthday) and can be sent
to the ASP office. This encounter doesn't really seem to fit under
my list of strange encounters, but 1 still can't figure out why he kept
on screaming for Toni Basil and sauerkraut.
Wednesday Afternoon, November 17, 1982:
I was feeling like everyone was picking on me because of typos
in Aspects and started complaining to my old editor, Andy Carroll.
He casually reminded me about a little incident that occured a couple of months ago in an Aspects he edited. After picking up an
issue in which a few of the lines I had written weie accidently rearranged, I spotted Andy in the crowded campus center and yelled,
at the top of my lungs, "You fucked up my article." Nobody puts
thing into perspective like Andy.

t's all In the stars my friend, the
only stripes you'll see are those
on the (lag. So what's a nice boy
like you doing In this place? Say you lost an
arm in Vietnam, don't blame me I'm not
the one you seek, Well here's to the one
that got away. By the way did that foot
come attached to your ass or did the batteries cost extra? Please, please listen to
me. It Is Important that all adults leave their
children at home with their T.V's.

American girls, or so they say are loose
as a goose, if you know what I mean. Exactly what do you mean when It Is half pass
and you don't even have "gas".
Out o( shape and out of my mind, thank
god above. Little curls and pearls push
their ideas about life down to the local
thought control centers hoping that the sale
on men will be held over. Papa was a rolling stone, I guess, but at least he fucked
ma, so we all could be here now,
Nowadays, It's more than likely that the
wife Is fucking the kids in the master
bedroom, while the husband sits in the
bathroom Jerking off to the sound of his
own piss streaming down the side of the
face, arm and body of an Invisible lover.
In former times, it was assumed that
there were true religions and false religions,
and lhat it was an Important function of
family and society to teach people as they
were growing up lo distinguish the one
from the other.
In a secular society, where religion is not
taken seriously, neither is serious attention
given to the development of skills in making religious choices. Without such training, young people are indeed,subject to
undue manipulation by the purveyors of
religious schemes.
Failure to recognize the Importance of
religion In the society leads to overlooking
those human needs which are most often
served by religious involvement. In particular a secular society which prides itself
on being objectively rational in the scientific
mode may offer little challenge or hope to
the young person who longs to be fully involved in activity which Is of value even at
personal risk or danger. Objective rationality has a hard lime satisfying those who
would be heroes who spurn the pragmatic
tests of self-interest.
In modern secular society religion is
tolerated as a leisure-lime activity of the
private sphere of one's life, possibly
aesthetically enriching or capable of satisfying the need (or voluntary association, but
nothing more.
Members of the dominant society by
avoiding dealing with the weaknesses of
5ocleiy create the needs which are in turn
met by "new'' groups. There Is a need to
question some of the assumptions put forward by the dominant society, lest these
assumptions force people into unnecessary
choices (like the choice to drink Kool-aid
with Jim .Jones).
When you say that a face is beautiful:
then you create desire. The desire Is not for
that (ace or that body: It is for your own interpretation, your own projection. The person that is there, the real person has been
used as a screen, and you have projected
yourself. Then disillusion is bound to be
there because the real face cannot be forced Into unreality by your projection
Sooner or later the projection will have to
be dropped. The real face will come out.
and then you will feel that you have been
cheated. You will say. "What has happen*
ed to this face? This face was so beautiful
and this person was so beautiful, and now
everything has gone ugly." Again you are
interpreting The person remains whatsoever he is, but your Interpretations and
projections go on. and you are never
allowing energy to assert ilself. You go on
suppressing it. You are suppressing inwardly and outwardly also. You never
allqw the reality to assert itself
We create an untrue world around us
because of our projections, but if the reality
asserts and the horse neighs from the
stable, we ask, "Whom do you believe?"
We always believe ourselves, not the teality
Don't ask. Wait for the happening, for
what happens. You can ask and some
answer can be given, but that answer cannot become an authentic answer for you.
Never jump ahead. Don't ask what happens when one dies. What happens.
Whatsoever Is said will be meaningless
because you are still alive. What happens
when someone is dead? You will have to
pass through it. Unless you are dead you
cannot know it. Whatsoever is said can bei
believed on trust, but this Is meaningless
Words should not be allowed to exist
between you and reality. With fewer words
there are fewer barriers; with no words
there are no barriers. Words destroy
everything because they change the very
meaning of life.
Language never says what Is. If you say.
"I opened my eyes," it Is a lie. If you say
"The eyes opened by themselves." it Is a lie
again, because eyes are just fragments
They cannot open ihernselves. The whole
organism Is involved. Whatsoever we say Is
like that.
When you say."the river is flowing."
what do you mean? There Is Just flowing,
and thai flowing is the river. The walking is
the man. the seeing is the man, standing
and sitting is Ihe man, If you eliminate all
thesewaiking, sitting, standing, thinking,
dreaming*will there be a man left behind?
When all is said and done people require
more than what they have and yet they
(people In general) live In a time where
more material wealth and leisure are
available than ever before. The material
things In this world provide the basis of entrapment for the rich and the enslavement
of the poor Something, if not someone
will have lo fill this void. It would seem that
Bob Dylan is correct, ultimately we must
choose. "Il may be the devil or it may be ,
the lord, but you're going lo have to serve I
| somebody".

Pax Femina
P
eace. Not just a state of not-war,
of waiting for, thinking about, or
preparing for the next conflict,
ihe next reaction to provocation, or the
next police action-- but peace. Real,
secure, positive, lasling peace.
in the last 2,000 years, there have been
35 days of so-called peace. 35 days out of
over 700,000. 35 days when no-one was
shooting at anyone else somewhere In the
world. That's not peace, that's time to
reload.
A.G. Carter
The greatest threat to peace isn't the
Soviet Union, or the United States, or even
nuclear weapons themselves. The greatest
threat to peace are Ihe attitudes that equate
peace with cowardice, attitudes which require a violent response to a slight (real or
imagined), attitudes which polarize the
world and Its people Into irreconcilable
opposites-- either-or, good-bad, mindbody, white-black,
male-female,
d e m o c r a c y - c o m m u n i s m , and
even
leaders-people and human-anlmal-earth.
This either-or hierarchy has resulted In the
objectification and depersonification of the
"others", which In turn justifies any action
against that group, up to and including
slaughter.
Leave war- and peacemaking to us, we
are lold by the "experts". We know the
particulars of all the science and
technology, and we know what's best for
you, too. Leave it all to u s - the experts.
Another split: experts-everyone else.
Leave It all to us, they say. Well, we have,
and look where we have ended up-- on the
brink of annihilation by nuclear weapons.
But as a woman caught in this society of
which I am not considered a full and real
member, what can I do? How can 1 come
to grips with ihe polarized altitudes of
society, and with the male "experts" who
tell me that as a woman and a
"non-expert", 1 have nothing to contribute,
no valid opinion. Where can I begin?
1 have to realize and reaffirm the cycles
of my body, and their connection (my connection) with the cycles of the earth itself. !
cannot, as do some, view the earth (and its
resources) as something to be conqueredcontrolled-harnessedexp
<?d; for in doing so I buy into my own ppression as a
woman by men, and into the oppression of
other "others"- black people, poor people, disabled, etc. All are manifestations of
the same either-or mentality, and 1 have to
recognize them all as threats to me.
My capacities to nurture-- so often
maligned and used lo justify my
oppression-- have lo be developed and
validated- and presented in counterpose
to a violent, death-and destructionoriented society. I feel that if men gave
birth, or were responsible for nurturance of
children and Ihe aged, thai they would find
il impossible to disregard or belittle life Ihe
way they so blatantly do now. They are disconnected from birth and growth, and
therefore cannot feel the true horror of unn a t u r a l d e a t h of any
sort-even
(especially?) mass death.
I have to realize and claim my
"expertise" on the issue of war and nuclear
weapons. 1 am an expert by virtue of ihe
fact that I am a living, feeling being who
would rather be anything but dead; a
woman who cares about all people and the
earth we inhabit; who stands horror-
stricken at the ease and carelessness with
which Immediate death and everlasting suffering are being considered as options in
the charade of foreign policy (of all countries, not just the current holders of nuclear
weapons The countries that don't have
them want them and are working hard to
gel them ) I don't have to know the
amount of ICttM's or the throw-weight
capabilities of either side to know ihat my
life, and the chance of life for my descendants, is in peril. ! can feel it in my bones
and in my heart-- and that makes me an
expert.
Women around the world are taking
their strengths and expertise and transforming them into action, both within male
groups and in separate women's organizations. We are expressing our universal (and
specific) concerns, and defying the
nuclear, death-worshipping mentality.
We are taking our capacities to nurture,
love, and respect life and defining them as
'powerful forces which can be used lo reorder the world's priorities-- away from
death and destruction and toward lifeaffirming, people-serving areas. We can bring a unique perspective to the peace
movement, and we must do so. We cannot, however, allow ourselves or our
talents to be co-opted or used against us (as
o f t e n , happens In male-dominated
movements); but we must recognize, and
have others recognize, the validity of our
opinions-feelings, and the value of our
contributions.
The topic all last week In the Campus
Center was peace. Peace to us all. Peace to
us all.

Toni Basil's Babble
ome friend he turns out to be! He
tells me there's this girl he wants
me to meet and says she's coming to my house that evening. Flnel Terrific!
I've just moved into this place and I've
barely had the time to get things organized
and put away, and now I've got a date with
this girl I know nothing about. So I go running home and start throwln' Junk away, ya
see, anywheres I can find the space.
S
Damian VanDenhurgh
I run Into the living room, grab a cook book'
and slap on the new Tonl Basil album.
Word oj Moulh. Then It hits me. — what If
this girl has herpes?! So I'm a little freaked
but I don't give too much thought cuz I
don't have that much time ya.see. So I'm
leafin' through this book tryln' to think of
what kind of food to make when suddenly I
hear this stupid stamp-clap-stamp beat and
then this whlny gaggle of cheerleaders
squealing "Oh Mickey, your so fine/your
so fine you blow my mind/hey Mickey."
My thoughts of herpes suddenly come
creeping back when I realize who sings this
assinlne song. Owning this album is like
having herpes. You don't want it but now
you've got it and you don't know what to
do about It. You certainly aren't going to
tetl anyone about It and you know for a fact
that you'll be damned If you're going to
give It to a close friend. So you look at it
and never, ever louch It If you're smart.
Oh, that's right , . . dinner. Well let's
see, soup, salad, main course, desert and
an appropriate wine and liqueur for after
dinner. German food would be appropriate. What was her name again, Eva
Braun?
Walt a second.
This is "Rock O n " originally done by
David Essex. I hated it when II came out
and this version isn't doing much to change
my opinion. This music is really bad.
Sounds like they turned on ihelr synthesizers and left the room to have a
cigarette or shoot up. Gee. she even makes
up lyrics of her own. What a charming little
robot!
Sauerbraten sounds great. So I go running Into the kitchen and I'm chopping lettuce and slicing tomatoes and sprinklln'
flour and water and stuff all over the kitchen. At this point I'm makln' pretty decent
time ya know, I got the table set, the
water's runnln' In the . . . tub . . . and
what the hell Is this?! "Shoppin' from A to
Z." She means It too. Every leller Is hit on
this list, twice, (due to the facl that she loses
the list half way through the song). From
A, Apple t o Z , Zipper. Of course one could
make a comparable list: A. Atrocious; B.
Bland; C. Crass . . . well, the list goes on
but, I've got a shower to lake. I dive In and
out in record time and in doing so miss the
rest of side one. With titles like " Y o u Gotta
Problem" and "Be Stiff," I have the feeling
So I'm leafin' through this book tryin' to think
of what kind of food to make when suddenly I
hear this stupid-clap'Stamp beat and then this whiny
gaggle of cheerleaders squealing "Oh Mickey,
your so fine..."
I didn't miss too much. Granted I'm pretty
hesitant to go through with It, but I nobly
flip the record over and begin the drudgery
of attempting to listen to side two. Alas,
another victim of duly.
Side two Is even worse than side one
(and )ust when I'd thought I heard a new
high or rather, low In terrible recent music).
• "Nobody" is Tonl Basil's anthem—"Don't
want nobody" she cries to me, OK Tonl.
you got a deal. I'll leave you alone if you
leave me alone. In fact, I'll leave you alone
regardless of what you do
I glance at the clock which tells me that
I've got about a half hour to go until my
blind date arrives. So I freak this lime ya
see, cuz I haven't had a date, blind or
otherwise, in about three years. So I'm zippin' around like someone who's backed into a chain saw, casin' the place to see if It's
hallway presentable and the song "Little
Red hunk" comes on. It sounds like this
annoying circus music with all these mutant
clowns with three legs and things circling
around chanting "my little red book" over
and over. Then the gorgeous voice of Tonl
Basil comes shining through like a nuclear
explosion on a loggy day. I'm really startin'
to get edgy cuz I'm nervous as hell and this
music Is really gettln' to me. So I decide to
have a drink to calm my nerves. The place
looks fine, and not to pal myself on the
back or anything, so do 1. I pour myself a
glass, and I'm just sitlln' down when
"Space Girls" comes on. It's all I can do to
keep from screamln'! I wonder if Tonl Basil
listens to Devo's garbage songs, cuz this
sure as hell sounds like one. It has a beat a
two-year-old could decipher and all the
emotion of a piece ol driftwood. I pick up a
11.in ,lil Robbins novel and begin reading to
take my mind off this stuff Tonl Basil has
spent so much time doing computer programming In preparation for.
Ten minutes 'til she shows and now 1
can't read a thing cuz I can't sll still, ya
know? "Thief on the Loose" drives me to
the bathroom to relieve myself. Basil never
sounded like Benalar 'ill this album. And
I've never been so nervous. I open the
cabinet to get something to relax myself,
and all the botlles and razors and things
come bouncln' of the shelves cuz of the
music In the next room. The beat slams the
door shut and knocks the shower curtain
rod off the walls. Water starts spewln' out
from around the base of the toilet and the
shower head bursts out from It's tile base
spraying me wllh a steady, strong spray of
hot water. At this point I've totally lost It
and stay In the corner under the vibrating
sink until the song ends. As soon as the
fade out begins, action begins to cease and
I lake this as my cue. I go runnln' out of the
WC and grab Tonl Basil's album Word o/
Mouth off the turntable before "Time After
Time" has an opportunity to do any more
damage. I Ml the record up In both hands
over my head, blocking out the full moon
outside my window. In a twisted form of
Iransubstantlatlon, Ton! Basil becomes the
Supreme Queen of airhead technobop,
and lowering the disc, I break It in both
hands and place the album in Ihe garbage.
Both sections slipped In perfectly as If II had
been preordained.
Oh my G o d , the doorbell. I take out the
sauerbraten, light the candles and casually
stroll to the door to greet my date.
No. No It's not possible. It's Tonl Basil!
She smiles at me alluringly, apparently
unaware of the poppy seeds between her
teeth. Fie on her! She's already eaten! She
walks In and Is followed by zounds!?)! It
cannot bel Another and another and
another . . . Suddenly, my apartment Is
filled wllh Tonl Basils all In similar dress. 1
am trapped! Suddenly, they all begin to
clap and stamp their feet! No! They are going through the entire album for me! I run
to Ihe kitchen, smelling something foul and
realize that the sauerbraten has turned a
putrid green. Leafing through the
cookbook to the recipe, II suddenly hits
me. I've forgotten to add basil. The cruel,
sadistic Irony of It renders me unconscious,
as I collapse In a heap lo a chorus of
"You're so fine, you blow my mind."
This was a journal entry of a dream that
Damian VanDenburgh had during his slay
at our Institution. He Is apparently speaking
to an alter ego of some sort In the telling of
this dream. We published II In Aspects this
week In hopes that you haven't forgotten
him and lhat you'll all pray for a quick
recovery
Mr. Ethics
T
alking of Brezhnev's death last
week reminded me of Harry
Stein, which reminded me lhat
the St. Martin's Press has collected a bunch
o[ columns Stein wrote (or Esquire between 1979 and l'JHl and published them
as Ethics (and Other Liabilities). Stein was
a contributing editor of Esquire when he
was asked to write the monthly "Ethics"
column. "Make a serious point every
month, but stick In some laughs too," he
was told.
Brezhnev's death and a lunchllme
discussion afterwards broughl to mind my
favorite column of Sleln's, March 1980's
"On Not Turning the Other Cheek." Like
many others that day, a Irlend expressed a
touch ol sadness al the Soviet leader's
demise, and seemed much loo willing lo
forgive the man who unleashed his military
machine on Czechoslovakia In 1968 and
again In Afghanistan In 1979, whose
political enemies still languish In Soviet
prisons and menial Institutions, and whose
sudden shift In policies have made emlgrallon virtually Impossible for thousands of
Soviet Jews, My friends balked at my
hearllessness, but Stein would agree, at
least on ethical grounds, "lhat we tend to
forgive and forget — mainly forget — with
a frequency that suggests senility,"
ne of the highlights of this past
summer's first annual Greenwich
Village Jazz Festival was Arthur
Blythe's week-long appearance at the
Village Vanguard. Backed by the quintet
referred to by Blythe as "the guitar band",
the portly alio saxophonist roared ihrough
set after set of original and excitingly
modern music. Blythe is one of the real
gems In the CBS stable ol Jazz stars and. as
such, Is afforded enough promotional help
to bring his music to the attention of the
Jazz-listening public. And It's a good thing
because each of his five CBS releases since
1979, Including Ihe new Elaborations,
have combined Blythe's unique style as
composer and leader, wllh Inspired playing
by a host of prominent slclemen, to produce music which has lo be regarded as
some of today's most Important modern
Jazz.

Elaborations features the same quintet
that appeared at Ihe Vanguard. The group
has the unusual Instrumentation of alto
sax, tuba, cello, electric guitar, and drums.
Blythe calls It "the gullar band" to
distinguish II from his other group, "In The
Tradition", In which he Is backed up by the
conventional rhylhm section of piano,
bass, and drums. That group consists of
I-'red Hopkins and Sieve McCall, the bassist
and drummer from the group "Air", along
wllh pianist John Hicks. In addition to an
album called In The Tradition, on which
the group plays mostly jazz standards, the
quartet can be heard on Illusions and
B/ylhe Spirit. Released In 1980 and 1981
respectively, these two albums divide Ihe
vinyl between Blythe's two bands. One of
the remarkable aspects of Blythe's music Is
how smoothly songs, originally written for
the quartet (such as "Miss Nancy" from Illusions), have been rearranged to fit the Instrumental format of "Ihe gullar band" for
live performance.
The success currently enjoyed by Arthur
Blythe Is kind of a new thing for Ihe saxophonist from San Diego, California, who
started playing alto when he was nine.

Reluctant al first and fearful of charges of
Philistinism. Stein Instead rose lo the task
with style, and his monthly ruminations on
right and wrong (the book is subtitled "Trying to live right In an Immoral world")
broughl some conscience lo a magazine
which all too frequently condones various
aspects of conspicuous consumption, male
chauvinism, and unashamed careerism.
Stein's subjects ranged from adullery (he
thinks It's rotten) to gossip (It usually comes
to no good) lo ass kissing (his (irsl and
weakest column; Stein admits that It look
the position "thai anyone who sucks up to
superiors Is an asshole and that anyone
who doesn't Is something ol a jackass")
Stein claimed no credentials olher than a
guiding philosophy which he stated In his
ninth column In June of 'SO: "It Is simply
that In a society In which moral and ethical '
lalssez-falre (otherwise known as 'Hey, l( II
works for you . . .') has been elevated lo a
national credo, It had become terribly easy
to lose track of the obvious,"
Elaborating The Blythe Spirit
O
Stein relates how a Irlend o l his refused
to change his opinion of Thurman Munson
even after the Yankee catcher was killed In
a plane crash. "He was a son of a bitch
alive, he was still a son of a hitch when he
was dead," Stein quotes sportswriler Nell
Offen as saying. The conversation turned
lo Hubert Humphrey, and what Stein calls
"the national orgy of wailing and gn
o l teeth that had accompanied his final
days." Stein remembers the pre-cancer
politician, Ihe same Humphrey who fi
lour years acted as a cheerleader (or the
Vietnam War, who retained an apparent
insensitlvlly to the horrors of the
Democratic Convention In Chicago, and
equivocated of McCarlhylsm.
Stein refused to give In to Ihe notion that
forgiving and forgetting Is a virtue. Instead,
he says that there are times when It is right
lo "remain Intransigent" In delense of
Ideals. The victims of McCarthy's blacklist,
who alter 30 years still cross the street
when they see a former colleague who
named names, are Sleln's heroes, while
those who seek a "middle ground,"
"quiet consensus," remain villains, There
must be some unexcusable acts left In Ihe
world If we're lo retain a sense of purpose.
"There Is a fine line between Justifiable
anger and pettiness . . . but Ihe principle
remains exemplary," Sleln writes. "One
must lake a stand, unequivocal and
unswerving, against what one perceives as
Indecent behavior."
And that's what Sleln did In Ills "Ethics"
column, month alter month, as he continued to take black and while stands In a
world loo often painted gray, We need of
such unequivocal behavior today, and we
need Harry Stein,
age of thirty-four, Blythe worked as a
security guard al a Manhattan porno club,
trying to save enough money to bring his
wile and Ihrce kids to the east coast. Meanwhile, Blythe was earning a reputation as a
musician, working with the likes of David
Murray and Chris Tyler, until he was offered a Job In drummer Chlco Hamilton's
group, with whom Blythe subsequently
recorded and loured. Blythe has since
played In the groups of Gil Evans, Lester
Bowie, and Jack DeJohnette, and, In addition to the five CBS albums, has led his
own bands on records released by India
Navigation and Adelphl, two Independent
Jazz labels.
upper register of the horn, while also extending the length of the solo to marathon
proportions. Even the shortest songs on his
album become 10-15 minute numbers In
concert, because of the freedom of each
band member to explore his Improvlsallonal Ideas for as long as he likes. The second solo on Elaborations belongs to
guitarist Kelvyn Bell, who plays lead guitar
In a style which Is truly unique. Elaborations Is Bell's second album with the group
since replacing James Blood Ulmer, who
played on two Arthur Blythe records.
Kelvyn Bell splits his working time between
Blythe's group and the New York City
dance group, Defunkt,
Elaborations opens with the album's title
track, In which Blylhe Immediately
establishes his alto sax prowess. Watching
Blythe play, It Is easy to envision Charlie
Parker; the robust Blythe plays his alio with
the v i g o r a n d I n t e n s i t y t h a t Is
characteristically Bird-like. Bui listening to
his solos, one Is often reminded of John
Coltrane, whom Blylhe acknowledges as
his major Influence, Blythe's playing
fealuies ihe Coltrane trails of extending Ihe
"Metamorphosis" provides tuba player
Bob Stewart with a chance to solo. To really appreciate Stewart's contribution to the
group, his rhythm work on the whole
album must be checked out; but on his
solo, he shows why he Is one of the most
sought after gig men In New York, Stewart
plays around town almost constantly with
many different bands. He recently produced a concert where some seven or eight
tuba players got together wllh an all-star

rhythm section, along with some guest
soloists (including Blythe),
ijof jazz playing. "Metamorphosis" Is also a
showcase for the drumming of Bobby Battle, a powerful percussionist who formerly
worked In the group "Warriors" with Don
Pullen, Chlco Freeman, and Fred
Hopkins. Battle's playing on all of Elabora'
lions Is crisp and driving; his contribution to
the rhythmic flow of the group's music Is
Immeasurable, especially In light of the
band's lack of a bass player.
Side two of Elaborations opens up with
the only song on the album not written by
Blythe, the old standard "One Mint Julep".
The song is handled at a rapid pace, with
both Blythe and Bell delivering playful
solos, "Shadows" Is next, a beautiful composition scored for the trio of Blythe,
Stewart, and cellist Abdul Wadud. Wadud
Is another band member who Is thoroughly
In demand for his session work. A true
workaholic, he brings his unique sound to
the most recent albums by pianist Anthony
Davis, saxophonist Julius Hemphill, and
flautist James Newton. Wadud displays his
remarkable Improvlsatlonal skills on the
album's final piece, an eleven minute
number entitled "The Lower Nile", during
which the cellist plays an extended solo.
Elaborations may be Arthur Blythe's
most satisfying album as leader of "Ihe
gullar band". In addition to Us musical attributes, the album Is one of the best sounding jazz releases to date. It was recorded
digitally, becoming the second Blythe
release to employ that form of modern
recording technology (Blythe Spirit was the
first). Always concerned with clear sound,
In 1979 Blythe supervised the recording of
In The Tradition, and kept the sides to less
than eighteen minutes, a clarity trick he
says he learned from observing disco
mastering. Arthur Blythe's music Is, at
once, accessible, original, and undeniably
modern. Blythe expands on his many Innovative Ideas, while never losing touch
with the Jazz tradition. Perhaps this explains
why his music Is enjoyed and accepted by
fans of both old and new jazz. Elaborations,
Ihe latest manifestation of Arthur Blythe's
musical vision, can be undlsputedly heralded as one of 1982's finest Jazz releases.

Scary Monsters And Super Creeps?
I
ion still Mtnember when I used
lo go shopping wllh my mother al
our local grocery store, within
seconds I would be routed In my favorite
spot in front of Ihe books and magazines,
There, while she pushed her can pasl the
rows of fruit and vegetables, my chubby little hands would wrap themselves about
that week's Issue of Tales of Terror or
whalover similar material I could find Half
wllh d ,'llght and half with dread I would
pour over Ihose stories of ghosts and Ihe
undead unlll they chased me through my
nightmares later lhat night,
Ltsanne Sokolowski
with
Metin Ulug
But the thrill 1 had Inbelng frightened by
those stories was well worth the price of
bad dreams at night. Naturally then, when I
heard that my favorite author o( Ihe
macabre. Steven King, (The Shining, Carrie, Cujo, elc.) and the Infamous George
Romero (director of the Nighl of the Living
Dead) were collaborating on a movie
dedicated to Ihe tradition of those very
comics, I couldn't wait to see It. When I
finally got the chance to see II up al
Latham's Cinema Seven I was disappolnled, Kind of like going on a blind dale,
and expecllng the girl to be plump but finding that she's obese, Creepshow wallows
In excess from Ihe beginning.
George Romero discredits hlmsoll with a
movie whose campy style and editing can
only fall back on Us cast and a lew lolien

line between mastering scare tactics and
creating terror, Romero succeeds In scaring
the audience on occasion, bul II doesn't
leave you with the type o( enduring (ear ol
Ihe daik like Poltergeist or Ghost Story.
More than once the primarily young audience jumped nervously, but when Ihe
lights came on all they did was laugh.
The general (ramework is a series ol live
vlgnelles wllh an Introduction and conclusion. In one ol the stories author Slevcn
Klny manages lo make a complete (ool o!
himself In his acting debut as a stupid hillbilly who is Infected with a mossy covering by
a meteorite that happens to land 111 Ills back
yard. He never calls (or assistance, and the
story is as Implausible and stupid as King's
character.
Most ol Ihe vignettes have no particular
resolution, they were imaginative Ideas but
poorly developed. There are Iwo stories of
revenge by the living dead, a lurry meteor,
an attack by cockroaches, and an unldenlllled monster from the arctic. Most of the
stories depend on unnecessary gore and
special effects to maintain any sort of excitement level,The pacing was quick with
the stories mercifully short but over-all It
was substandard quality wllh cheap shock
effects.
The saving grace of Ihe movie Is the
fourth vignette, called The Crate. Classic
cliche storyline-• college janitor finds an old
box from an 1800's Arctic expedition, the
crate Is opened and a demonic wolfish
(lend starts gobbling everyone In arm's
reach, or less once the arm Is gone. Cross
The T/ilncjwIlh The IVol/man and a jack-inthe-box and you begin lo gel the idea.
This segmenl also has Ihe movie's besl
acting performances. Hal Holbrnok plays a
benign old English professor bullied by a
loud moulhed-drunk-embarrassment ol a
wife played by Adrionne Barbeau
(remember Maude's daughter?). With all
respect to Ms. Barbeau you will absolutely
hate her consummately bitchy characler.
And wait 'till you see what Holbrook does
wllh her (hell, heh, heh).
The Tldeand Father's Day are classic
reluming dead revenge themes. Scary,
yes, story no. But il you'ld like to see how
photography director Michael Gornick
recreates flesh that's been rotting In the

the filming.
E.G.Marshall, one the the grandfathers
of radio horror, plays a mean, eccentric
billionaire, who Is obsessed wllh living In a
germ-free environment In his New York
penthouse apartment (a Joke in Itself).
They're Creeping Up on You Is dull. dull,
dull until Romero reverts to an unexplained close-up of the cockroaches bursting
through Marshall's skin Just like Alien.
Just as a dime-store comic can't be considered fine literature, Creepshow Isn't a
good movie. It looks as If It were made for
television, kind of Steven King does Loue
Boat material. Like a comic book the
characters remain two-dimensional and
never lift themselves to real life. Creepshow was a good Idea with amazing promise but like the characters In the movie,
maybe It was better off dead.

Asked whether Brezhnev was really a peace-seeking
individual or jusl acting in the Interests of his country,
both professors agreed thai, " i h e two lerms aren't
contradictory." Baran added thai Brezhnev's regime
" h a d been unite cautious about using force."
The average age of Politburo members, ihe Sovicl
Union's mosl powerful policy making body, is 70.
Baran indicated thai "inevitably younger people y ill
he moving up; the only question is, 'how fast?'" Baran
said liiis new generation "mighi be more open to
Western ideas, more technologically oriented, and
more appreciative for a need for change."
As for Ihe new Kremlin, Hoffmann iluiughi,
"There (would) be efforts made lo insure collective
leadership, rather Hum allowing Andropov to be, far
and away, the strongest." Baran, however, pointed
out on the overall lhat, "Right now, whatever anyone
says is reading the lea leaves."

Turning away from us all
E
anh turning, the earth turns. Atcing along the sky
thousands o r small electronic boxes turn in time
with it.
The business o f the world is carried over microwave
antennas to satellites lens of thousands of miles away.
Military establishments all over the world have satellites
monitcring the airwaves, watching the land, tracking the
sky. The atmosphere is continually observed by cameras in
distant orbit. Telecommunications arc carried to every part
of the surface. Some advocate power from orbiting collectcrs, some say they can move industry outside o f the atmosphere.
The history of man's adventures off the surface of the
<lanct has not been one determined by concern for advancng science and the benefit of all people. It has been led by
the miliiarv dreams of the men who tell the rest of us how
to live.
After the war the effort was to just get into space. A l l the
thing had to do was to beep periodically, and it be embarrassing enough to the other guy. The whole idea was to embarrass the other guy. And it worked. After Sputnik, the
red-faced leaders pushed pratlcal science down the throats
of the country's youth. Now we had to embarrass the other
guy.
We had to do something totally outrageous, something
that would really intimidate them. The moon!.
After Kennedy's assnslnallon, the space program became
an unquestionable tribute lo a martyr. Billions and billions
of dollars were poured into the flights of fancy lo the moon
lo collect a few pounds of rock. Only one scientist made it
lo ihc moon — the rest were jusl rock collectors. We sure
embarrassed the other guy. He sent a rcmotc-conirol lander
that send hack their rocks at a fraction o f the cost.
The same thoughts control the was things work today.
Scientific programs like Voyager, the Hailcy's Comet explorer and Viking are cither dead or barely hanging on,
while commercial/military projects like the shuttle are emphasized. NASA Is busy retailing the shuttle flighls oul
while the Pentagon puts finishing touches on its secret
military launch facility at Vandcnburg Air force Base in
California.
The people who pay for the government arc becoming
less interesled in the military/space program than ever.
During the height o f interest in the Apollo program
millions of people would gather near the Florida launching
site to watch the lift-off, A liny fraclion observed the last
shuttle launch. People don't care because people realize
that the shuttle will benefit them very little, As the novelty
of space llight has worn off, more people question the way
the money is being spent.
The concern in government is not for the welfare of the
people on the street — a quick look at the most recent
unemployment figures will tell you thai. More of the
population is oul of work now than during any of the recessions we've had since the Second World War. We've almost
got the Great Depression beat.
The rhetoric from the Reagan-types is less and less opt i m i s t i c . The light-al-the-end-of-ihe-lunnel speeches arc
becoming fewer as the speakers now see that the light they
see is a poor person with a flashlight looking for food.
Their attitude lately has become more well, -we'll-have-towail-and-scc.
Most o f Ihc Reagan-types actually arc pretty well
satisfied. The interest rales and inflation rate are declining,
at the expense of jobs. Inflation has always been the stress
o f Reagan's economics, not unemployment.
Here in aeademia we're isolated for a few years from the
working world, but outside o f this place unemployment is a
reality graduates face. That's a reason why many people arc
laking their time lo graduate — more credits can only help
find employment, and majors can be added to make Ihc
lime until jobs are available again go a little more productively.
The working world is facing the lack of jobs now,
however. So many people have been out o f work for so
long thai unemployment benefits arc having to be extended
lo help people gel along. Food pantries are going bare, and
little end is in sight.
Bui as Ihc food panlries need to cover for more people
unable lo get sufficient aid, the missiles, rockets, fcts, tanks
and space shuttles of the people in charge get aid Tor the
companies o f those in charge.
It has been called wondering about stuff you don't know
aboul, but drawing lies lo isolated but related ideas such as
unemployment and Ihc space shuttle show that these ideas
do connect — the decisions aren't being made to benefit
who need and deserve assistance. The space program is
another subsidy of contractors such as Martin Marincttn
thai supply Ihc military and is a strong step away from the
concept of space technology for peaceful, earth-centered
uses. It Is another tool of the arms race. The shuttle Is a fancy when more people arc oul of work than in the past four
decades.
II
The rain of Reagan
W i l h President Reagan attempting 10 cut bureaucratic
red tape, and with his desire l o trim government regulations
and the accompanying expenses, Reagan is relaxing pollution control standards imposed on factories and
automobiles.
Supposedly litis will save ihc manufacturer and the consumer money. Reagan expects that with relaxed pollution
emission standards, (he cost o f manufacturing commodities
will be lessened and passed on t o ihe consumer.
Robert Martiniano
As we are all well aware, these savings never find their
way lo the consumer, and arc only gobbled up as corporate
profits for which onlv a few benefit.
More imporianily, however, ihese laved regulations will
lead to serious environmental deterioration. With acid rain
a serious problem in both this country and Canada, relaxing regulations will only exasperate the seriousness of Ihc
problem.
Though we commonly refer lo this as acid rain, it falls to
the earth as snow, sleet, hail, and hovers around cities like
Los Angeles as acid smog.
Born in the smoke stacks and exhaust pipes of Canada
and the United States, the acid precipitation finishes its lick
on our crops, in our lakes, on our homes, and on our
bodies. This is one problem we share with Canada. Apptoximately fifty percent o f the acid precipitation which
falls in Canada originates in the United Stales. Reciprocating that gift, fifteen percent o f the acid precipitation which
falls in the United States originates in Canada. No restraint
o f trade here.
A c i d precipitation begins as sulfur dioxide (SO,) and
various nitrogen oxides (NO-x); emissions from smoke
stacks and exhaust pipes. Combining these SO, and NO-x
particles with moisture from the clouds, sulfuric acid and
nitric acid respectively are formed. It is Ihese sulfuric and
nitric acids which fall lo earlh and destroy our environment.
Normal rain's p H is 5.6. Since 7.0 is p H neutral, normal
rain is naturally acidic. With the acid particles now in our
rain, the p H range is between 4 and 4.5. Fish begin dying
around p H 6 and most, if not all, Fish arc dead by the lime.
p H reaches 4.5. Currently rain in the Adirondack region
averages aboul p H 4.2. Needless to say, many lakes and
trout ponds in the Adirondacks no longer support life.
The fish are affected two ways by the acid precipitation.
Calcium is depicted from the fish's bones and body tissues.
This causes a multitude of deformilics. The acid precipitation also causes aluminum to be released from Ihe surrounding soil. Gradually clogging up the fish's gills, the fish die
a very slow death.
Eventually all animal and plant life is destroyed in the
lake. Remaining is an algae-covered mass of lifeless water.
A c i d precipitation also affects the forests. The acid
causes impaired plant growth and damage lo the leaves.
This has severe adverse affects on the logging industry, the
affects of long lerm acid poisoning would cause severe
repercussions throughout the entire American economy.
Accompanying Ihe death of the forest, wild life, both Hying and not, will also die, W i l h Ihc food supply decimated,
and their homes destroyed, nothing is left but starvation.
Though the direct correlation between acid rain and
human health is still being researched, indirect hazards are
evident. The acid in the rain is destroying statues, public
buildings, and our homes and automobiles.
We arc breathing in these dissolved particles as well as
older polluiants in the air. Our entire environment is intoxicated with Ihese panicles and the acid from Ihc rain.
Is the price of a car worth the environmental danger we
arc facing? We may save a litlle on the car, but the savings
are loo little if we lose the animal and plum life which coex-
-,;
••
;,-,.•*>..***
w
i $
ist on this earlh wilh us. Ultimately humankind will feel the
affects o f this deterioration.
Reagan must be made to realize lhat his decision to relax
pollution standards may be politically expedient bul will do
little for the environment.
Reagan cannol satisfy monicd interests while destroying
Ihe world we live in. The immediate rewards must be made
secondary lo the health of the environment.
New York Stale is in Ihe middle of the acid rain controversy. Our lakes and rivers are adversely being affected
more than in other sialcs. The pollutants travel across the
nation, front Ohio and Illinois, and arc deposited in our
lakes and streams, on our forests, and in our food.
If we continue to allow this, we are committing suicide
with our stale, We must speak oul and slop this holocaust
before the survivors are few.

"•"Although the young and ine
ed 1981-82 Albany State Grea|
compiled an impressi\J 18-1D p
eluding runner-up in the ECAC
New York regional, they wen
satisfied with themselves when tti
came to a close. In the past, Alba
were accustomed to particij ^ting in the
NCAA Division III tournament, but two
fateful losses in last March's SUNYAC
playoffs broke that tradition.
This season the Danes are looking to
rebound. Despite the presence of new
question marks concerning defense and
bench strength, the Danes are entering this
new season with confidence that they can
win — an important quality they lacked
last year.

4S GREAT D A N E S BASKETBALLS^STUDENT PRESS a NOVEMBER IS, mi
SUNYAC set for competitive year in '82-'83
By M a r c S c h w a r z
•VNVCHlvrf SrONIMDIfON
The SUNYAC is the best conference In
Division III basketball. No doubts, no questions asked, the quality of basketball played
rivals any around the nation on this level.
SUNYAC-East is the toughest division of
any conference in Division III. Again, no
doubts, no questions asked.
Potsdam and Albany are the toughest in
the SUNYAC-East. Now it's time to start
asking questions. True, the Bears of
Potsdam competed in the national championship game in three of the last four
years, winning one crown. But, they lost
All-American Maurice Woods to graduation. No longer is Potsdam the best team in
the conference. " I saw them in a scrimmage and they are not the Potsdam of o l d , "
said Blnghamton coach |ohn Affleck.
With Woods gone the key to the East is
John Dieckelman and the Great Danes of
Albany. Dieckelman is regarded as the top
player in the SUNYAC. It is for this reason
that the Danes must be considered the preseason favorite to repeat as Eastern Division
champs.
Oneonla is a good threat to break the
hold Potsdam and Albany have had on the
two East playoff spots. Cortland was considered a possible contender, but their
name must be withdrawn from that list. The
SUNYAC Conference placed them on probation for this year, disqualifying the Red
Dragons from post-season competition.
Binghamton and Plattsburgh are expected
to bring up the rear in the six-team division.
The SUNYAC was supposed to institute a
45-second shot clock this year, but the proposal had to be shelved because several
schools could not afford to buy shot clocks.
With competition for the top two spots
expected to be stronger than ever, here are
capsule summaries of the teams in the
Eastern Divsion of the SUNYAC:
POTSDAM
Despite losing two All-Americans from
their 1980 championship team, the Bears
clawed their way back to the national
finals, losing to Wabash 83-62, Potsdam
considers itself the finest Division III program in the nation. They have reached the
championship game in three of the last four
years, and won four straight NCAA
regionals, a feat matched only by lohn
Wooden's UCLA Bruins.
Once again Potsdam opens the season
without an All-American. How much the
Bears miss Maurice Woods will determine
how successful their season will be.
Key Returning Lettermen — Four starters
and eight lettermen overall will be back in
the Potsdam lineup this season. Leading the
way are senior renter Gary Sparks (6'6")
and last year's starting backcourt, Leroy
Witherspoon and Marty Groginski.
Sparks, a junior, who was second in scoring (10.9), rebounding and steals, adjusted
well to head coach Jerry Welsh's system
after transfering from Canton College in
Syracuse.
Witherspoon is the sparkplug of the
team, according to Welsh. Leading the
Bears running game, Witherspoon averaged 10.4 points and led Potsdam in steals
and assists. Also back is Groginski, who hit
the winning basket in three play-off games
last season.
Key Losses — The Bears lost several players
to graduation, but only one of consequence, Woods. " H e was just an excellent
first team All-American. A leader, a rebounder. We will miss him very, very
m u c h , " said Welsh. Woods led the team in
scoring and rebounding and was the reason
why the Bears were able to go all the way
to the championship game.
Strengths — The running is led by Witherspoon and the experience of four returning
starters. " W e have a strong nucleus of
returning players," said Welsh. " 1 his team
knows how to win so all that's left is to do
the j o b . "
Weaknesses — Welsh noted that the team
does not have the depth of previous years.
With the loss of Woods, the Bears are hurting In the rebounding department. Welsh
admitted that he Is worried about his team

games are listed in
staying out of foul trouble.
Expectations — "This team has quickness,
size and it shoots w e l l , " said Welsh. " I
hope we reach our potential and I hope it
will be rewarding." Welsh seemed concerned abut the loss of Woods and fell the
SUNYAC-East is the toughest it's been in
many years. "Each team has it's own identity and as long as we have some fun along
the way we are successful."
Versus Albany — This matchup seems to
have brought out the finest in both teams
over the years. It is considered one of the
best rivalries in Division III. In intensity and
enthusiasm for both the players and the
fans, no other game comes close.
However last year's game found the
brilliance a little dulled. The Bears came to
University Gym for the first game and were
handed a 72-62 defeat. The Danes controlled the tempo for most of the contest, led by
Dieckelman with 20 points, Dan Croutier
with 17 and Mike Gatto with 16.
Albany travelled to Maxcy Hall late in the
season without Dieckelman. The Bears
halted a valiant comeback effort by the
Danes and split the season series with a
63-60 victory. The game was meaningless
for the first time in several years, as both
teams had already clinched playoff spots.
Prediction — Second.
ONEONTA
The Red Dragons have made great progress in the last two years. After a dismal
5-16 season, head coach Don Flewelling
overhauled the program and produced an
11-13 year and last year's 13-10 record.
Oneonta can only be expected to improve
as they suffered no key losses from last
year's team and the returners have another
year of experience and a winning season to
their credit. Expect to see the Red Dragons
challenging the leaders for the playoffs.
Key Returning Lettermen — Nine lettermen will be returning to Oneonla this
year. Heading the list is 6 7 " center Mike
Pocyntyluk. All-SUNYAC last year, Pocyntyluk has been "All-Everything as a
freshman and sophomore," according to
Flewelling. He led the Red Dragons In 10
offensive categories and scored 15 points a
game in an offens- that is not geared t o any
one player.
bold)
The return of 6'5" Anderson Mitchell,
w h o was redshirted last year, will help
Oneonta tremendously in rebounding and
defense, jim Meyer and Charles Stoud also
will key the Oneonta attack.
Key Losses — None.
Strengths — " W e are a veteran learn with
four returning starters," said Flewelling.
The addition of freshman Vaugn Gibbs, a
6 ' 6 " front court player who was named to
the second New York All-Stale team last
year, will add depth. The Red Dragons
have good height and should be able to rely on their rebounding ganle to make up for
the lack of quickness.
Weaknesses — A lack of quickness and an
adverse schedule are the main problems
facing the Red Dragons this season.
Oneonta will be on the road more than at
home. Flewelling concedes that the
thought of not playing at home until
lanuary has him worried.
Expectations — Oneonta feels that it will
improve on last year's record. " W e are not
logically a contender, but we will be in
every game we play," said Flewelling.
Don't be surprised to see Oneonla sneak
into the playoffs.
Versus Albany — Albany defeated Oneonta in both games last year. "The Oneonta
|inx" seems to have been ended. After 10
years of futility, the Danes won in O eonla
for the second time in a row, 58-48. The
Danes defeated the Red Dragons in University Gym with Gatto scoring a season high
20 points to lead the way in a 65-55 victory.
Prediction — Third.
CORTLAND
The Red Dragons are on probation this
year and are unable to compete for the
SUNYAC playoffs. Following a 16-11
record last season, Cortland was expected
to be a prime contender for the playoffs.
However, they were placed on probation
for playing one game over the allowed
limit. Should they finish first or second, the
third place team would go to the playoffs
instead of the Red Dragons.
Key Returning Lettermen — The Red
Dragons will again be led by tri-captains
Walt Henson, Tom Spanbauer and Andy
Nolan. Henson led the team In scoring
(14.1) and rebounding, while Spanbauer
was named to the all-conference team.
Nolan was Cortland's sixth man last season
. and shot over 57 percent from the field.
Key Losses — Starting forward Dan Felder
will sit out this season. His loss, with the
graduation of center Bob Patch leaves Cortland without any real size.
Strengths — " W e are very quick, we play
pretty good defense and are fairly good
s h o o t e r s , " c o m m e n t e d C o a c h Bill
Williams.
Weaknesses — There is a definite lack of
size on Cortland. At times, the Red
Dragons will start three guards under
5 ' 1 1 " , according to Williams. " W e may
have the smallest team in Division ill
history," he said.
Expectations — " I don't know if we will
improve, but w e will be a better t e a m , "
said Williams. "Even though we can't go to
the championships, we expect to be in
every game."
Versus Albany — The Danes split the
season series with the Red Dragons. After
losing in Cortland 71-67, Albany destroyed
the Red Dragons 101-61 in University Gym
to clinch a playoff spot.
Prediction — Fourth.
BINGHAMTON
After last season's 4-17 season, the Colonials can only improve. Head coach Affleck feels that he has a team ready to compete within the SUNYAC and overall. The
Colonials should break out of the basement
this year.
Key Returning Lettermen — Binghamton's
hopes rest on returning forwards 6''4"
Derek Pankey and 6 ' 6 " Marty Young.
"They are our bookends," said Affleck.
Pankey, starting the second half of the
season, led Binghamton in scoring and rebounding during that period. Young was
named to the All-New York State freshmen
team and averaged 11 points a game.
The Colonials will also look to senior captain Kevin Ziesig to
contribute.
Key Losses — The Colonials lost a tough
defensive player in starter Bill Peterman.
Also gone from the squad is Daryll Buford,
who saw limited action last season.
Strengths — Binghamton is a little older
and more mature, according to Affleck. He
is looking forward to having Pankey for a
full season.
Weaknesses — The Colonials are an
unknown quantity. " W e are not tested, this
is a rebuilding year," said Affleck.
Expcctions — Affleck is looking for a .500
season. " I just try to get them in shape," he
said. " W e ' l l try to do well in the SUNYAC.
I'm excited about this year."
Versus Albany — The Danes also defeated
the Colonials in both meetings last season.
In Binghamton, Albany blew past the Colonials 59-43 and picked up a victory at
home, 56-45.,
Prediction — Fifth.
PLATTSBURGH
The Cardinals struggled through their second straight 6-18 season. Very little should
change this year as Plattsburgh faces a long
season ahead of them.
Key Returning Lettermen — The Cardinals'
hopes rest with senior Paul Glodis and Bill
Stevens. Glodis led the conference in scoring, averaging 20.1, and Stevens averaged
11.4 points while leading the Cardinals in
assists and steals. Plattsburgh will also have
*\f\ experienced backcouft of Mark
Sausvllle and Steve Flolmes.
Key Losses — The Cardinals lost two
starters from last year's team. Gone are Rob
McCorvey and Tom Curie, both forwards.
Strengths — Glodis is the key to the Cardinals. Coach Norm Law feels that his team
possesses good overall shooting ability.
Weaknesses — Law feels the team's main
concern is the lack of an inside game and
rebounding problems.
Expectations — "It will be a struggle to
make .500," said Law.
Versus Albany — The Cardinals fell twice
to the Danes last season, losing 61-40 at
home and 70-63 in University G y m . Glodis
scored 24 points in the loss at Albany.
Prediction — Sixth.

Sexual options
T o the Editor:
In reference to your article "Gays and lesbians face
homophobic society", wc have found that you have left out
several important points about homosexuality and
homophobia.
The first thing wc have noticed is the exclusion of bisexuals, who encounter not only prejudice from heterosexuals,
but also from homosexuals. We arc in a precarious situation being compelled to live in two worlds that both regard
us as misfits. Most homosexuals believe that biscxuals arc
"cop o u t s " who arc loo cowardly to admit to being gay,
whereas straight people generally lump us together with
gays and do not like to consider us for dating. Both groups
generally believe thai we are "fucked u p " in (he mind and
also think that biscxuality is not an option. Moreover, people tend lo ignore our existence. To prove Ihis, one can
point to your article which did indeed omit us.
Furthermore, we found your references lo the political
reality of lesbianism lo be unsubstantial, Lesbianism is an
option of sexual freedom. Many women become lesbians
after perceiving the sexism, degradation, and dominance
that men control women by. In the lesbian community and
in the lesbian relationship, equality is a given.
There was no need for the simile dial "lesbians and gays
(and biscxuals) are just like other people..." Wcane people.
Wc are your roommates, stiltcmalcs, housemates, friends,
relatives, and processors.
Even though the article was well-intentioned, it failed lo
explore how gays and lesbians face a homophobic society.
Wc are requesting anonymity due lo the possibility of
homophobic consequences. These include being called
various profanities in public, physical abuse, harrassment
by police, j o b discrimination, comments lo lesbians such as
"one good fuck with a 'real m a n ' . . . " , alienation by friends
and relatives, and being treated like a freak in a freak show,
as well as society considering us lo be immoral, mentally ill,
child molesters. To conclude, heterosexuals do not "come
o u t " o f the closet and live in constant fear of the above as
wc must. Our sexuality should not be an issue; it should be
a matter of fact.

Soccer injustice
To the Editor:
On Sunday, October 24th, an injustice occurred on the
soccer field. On Thursday, October 28ih, a greater injustice
occurred in the A M I A hearing room in the Campus Center.
The story goes something like this:
The Olympians played the Celtics for the Division I
championship, The Celtics drew first blood on a very nice,
clean goal. The Olympians then came back before the end
of the first half and scored a \ cry nice, clean goal. There the
"nicencss" ends. The referee called a penally against the
Olympians, even though the supposed penalty occurred on
the other half of the playing field, and the referee on thai
side did not call It, The kicking of this penalty shot is an incredulous story in itself, but loo involved and muddy lo
detail here. Suffice il to say, the score was now 2-1 in favor
of the Celtics. Now the story gels good. A pass is made to
one o f the Celtics who was clearly offsides, but no call is
made, and a goal is scored. The Olympians proiesi lo the
referee, but he begged off, claiming that il was noi his call
lo make since il did noi happen on his side of the field. Isn't
what's pood for the goose good for the gander'.' A M I A docs
not seem to think so, calling Ihis a "judgement c a l l " . What
is the rule? When A M I A heard Ihis protest Thursday night,
they were extremely sarcastic, uppity, and all in.nil not nice.
They acknowledged thai there is absolutely no protection
for a learn againsl bad referees, or biased referees. As an
umpire myself for 8 years, I realize il is difficult for the
board to make a decision when they were not Iherc. But
A M I A was callous and rude, and there was no excuse for
that behavior. I hope that somcihing is done about the
looseness of the rules, and about the procedural protections
for ihe intramural teams. It's loo laic for the Olympians;
let's hope another learn won't get their just reward for a
greal season taken away from them.

RZA's aims
T o Ihe Editor
It has come to my attention that there is a lack of
understanding on ihis campus as lo Ihe aims of the Revisionist Zionist Alternative, Let me use ihis forum lo try and
clarify the problem. Our aims are threefold: I) Educational, 2) Political, and 3) Religious.
The RZA's posilion is as follows: We put at Ihe forefront
Ihe strengthening of the modem democratic Zionist Stale
of Israel, respeel for human freedoms and the active p r o .
motion of Jewish freedom around the world, and Ihe
universal oneness of Ihe Jewish people and their land. We
respect everyone's right to worship as ihey choose;
however, il must he clearly understood thai we arc sympathetic to traditional Judaism because it is traditional
Judaism thai has allowed Jews lo survive for two millennia
of exile.
T
T
E
Lei mc now briefly stale what the RZA is n o i . We arc not
the Jewish Defense League. We arc not JSC-Hlllcl. Doth of
these groups are vital and respectable organizations in their
own right. We arc not racists nor fascists in any sense of
those words, and wc take issue with whomever may call us
so. Wc arc SUNY Albany students adhering to Student
Guidelines, the Laws of the City of Albany, the Slate of
New York, and Ihe Constitution of the United Stales. Wc
openly proclaim our Zionism and our American citizenship, Wc find il a privilege and an honor lo be citizens of
Ihis greal democracy. We find no,conflict between this and
our staunch defense of America's true friend and ally,
Israel. We sec no conflict in our condemnation of ihe single
greatest threat to world peace, Ihe Soviet Union. We see no
conflict in our calling for the obliteration of the leading terrorist organization, Ihe so-called PLC). In short, we sec no
conflict in our being both Jews and Americans. We have no
splil loyalties for we need not have them. America is a
democracy, and we behave as good Americans. We feci free
lo assemble; wc feel free lo petition; we feel free lo say whni
, il is wc believe in. These are American and Jewish principles alike. Those attempting lo "silence" or " m o n i t o r "
us we submit urc ihe Irue fascists and racist Anti-Semites.
We openly believe and sland for our principles without
apology.
I hope this Idler
lhal ihe University
RZA. I f Iherc urc
clarification, please
has cleared up many of the questions
community might have had about the
any oilier mailers lhal need furthct
feel free to contact us.
In closing, lei mc ask for ihe whole campus community
to join with us in the condemnation of Ihe Soviet Union for
their illegal Imprisonment of Anatoly Schuransky, who has
now passed the 50th day of his hunger strike for freedom,
and demand his Immediate release.

Desexualizing rape
To Ihe Editors
I am tired of the aci of rape being treated as a smutty
joke and tired of having rape victims blamed for their own
attacks.
Almost any psychological authority will sa\ thai rape has
very little to do with sex, and everything lo do with haired
and aggression. Why is rape perceived almost loudly in a
sexual context?
I'm sick of men saying of rape victims, " I f she didn't
want lo be raped (as all women supposedly do), she
shouldn't have dressed like that, shouldn't have gone out
alone like lhal. It's her own damn fault if she goi roughed
up a bit, losl a lew minutes, and lost a little dignity. Why
didn't she fighi hack more strongly'.'" These arc just a lew
of the misconceptions I had lo deal with as a rape victim.
They arc based on the male concept of rape as a sexual
event.
Rape, for women, is not remotely related lo sex of any
kind. It is a violent, painful violation of body and spirit,
unconnected lo any mild, kinky fantasies of gentle bondage
or passionate lo\clunking.
A woman ready for sex undergoes certain physiological
changes lhal make her vagina ready lo receive the male
organ. A woman who Is forcibly attacked isn't ready 10 be
pushed, prodded, and sawed in and out of. A man lied
down willi someone shining a giant rubber dildo repeatedly
In and out of his imlubrlcalcd asshole niiuhl get some idea
just how much fun it is to be taken against .your will, lo be
R
S
In my case (and many others), my vagina was permanently damaged by the raw friction o f my attacker's penis as it
was brutally rammed in and out of my vagina, which was
clamped in terror.
Why don't women resist more strongly? Maybe because
they have the urge lo stay alive in the face o f a demented attacker who outweighs Ihcm, outsizes them, outreaches
them, and is ready to go to any lengths to hurt them.
Not enough research has been done on the residual effects of rape, on the recurring nightmares, the resentment,
the fear, the society-inflicted shame and stigma, and the
long-term distrust of men.
My rape experience changed my outlook on all aspects o f
my life. It was noi just a brief cmbarassing inconvenience
lhal was ultimately inconsequential.
Until we can dcscxualize the concept of rape, it will remain an utterly divisive force making both male and female
understanding possible.
To the many rape victims who will read Ihis, good luck.
To everyone else, male or female, I hope this will help you
to understand what rape is and what it isn't. '

Sporty feminism
T o Ihe Editor:
We'd like to comment further on Ihe letter lo the editor
written by Kathy Alfieri and Lynn Rosenthal concerninr
the ASP's coverage of women's intramural events.
Il is indeed unfair lo stale lhal Barry Geffncr's writing?
are anti-feminist in nature. As a reporter Mr. Geffner must
rely on two sources of Information. One, of course, is " o n
ihe s p o l " reporting, and Ihe other source would be
whaicvct Information which is given to him by the people
running the event. In ihis case, Mr. Geffner covered Ihe
League 2A and 2B Softball finals; the A M I A and W I R A
supplied him with Ihe rest of the information.
Now lot a few corrections in the letter. First of all,
A M I A stands for the Association of MEN'S Intramural
Athletics. The A M I A docs not run women's sporis. Nor
docs Ihe A M I A run eo-cd activities, The W I R A , Ihe
Women's Intramural and Recreation Associalion, handles
both women's and co-ed intramurals.
This brings us to correction number 2. Looking back on
lite article written on October 26, M r . Geffner devoted
filly-one lines lo the men's playoffs, noi sixty-seven as
slated In the editorial. The other fifteen lines coveredsurprisc—thc eo-cd playoffs. Now doesn't the co-ed program include boll; men and women?
However, in fairness lo Ms. Alfieri and Ms. Rosenthal,
we understand the reasoning behind the letter. It's great lo
see such concerned people who obviously care aboul their
share of the program.
Dm thai's precisely the problem. This fall, there were 82
men's teams in soft ball, 26 co-ed learns, and two women's
teams. Thai's approximately 120 women participating in
Ihe intramural program. With 7500 women ai S U N Y A
lhal comes out lo less than 2 percent of the female student
body, liven ill a school where apathy reigns, that's nothing
short of pathetic. This winter there will be four women's
floor hockey learns and six in basketball. Add thai lo a
handful of volleyball teams and you gel Ihe picture,
In other words, how can Mr. Geffner go and cover an InIrnmurnl event when there is practically nothing lo cover'.'

A new beginning
for women cagers
By Disc Lcvinc
STAII WRITER
After a disappointing 9-13 season
last year, the Albany State women's
baskcttmll team is back and ready
Tor a winning season under the
direction of a new coach.
Mori Warner, a recent graduate
nl the University <>i Maine, is starling her first year as head coach.
She is assisted by Palti Becker, who
has coached high school basketball
and has worked at Delhi Tech
before coming to Albany.
Warner described this year's
team as "a young team with lots of
' talent." Only six women are returning to the team from last year.
The Danes ore headed by captain

a 5'6" junior who copped 22 steals
and shot a 73 percent free throw
average. Warner is counting on
these older players to help the
younger women.
The new players on the team include Wilhelmcna Lesanc, a 5'2"
guard. Lesane is a freshman who
Warner described as "quick on the

a 5'5" freshman guard and Debra
Pardcw is also a 5'5" freshman in
the same position.
Inexperience will be a problem
for this year's team, as well as the
height of the players. The average
height of the players is 5'5", ranging from5'2" t o 5 ' l l " . This will be
an obstacle for the team because
they will generally be facing women
who have a height advantage.
Warner's strategy will be to compensate for this with speed and
quick reactions on the court.

Danes tip off year in Capital Tourney
Albany battles with defending champion RPI
in preliminary round at Union College tonight
By Marc lluspcl
SmiHIM.MTOR
The 1982-83 local college basketball season begins tonight as the
Albany State Great Danes meet the
RPI Engineers in Ihc opening round
of the Capital District Tip Off
Tournament.
The tournament which dates
back lo I960 is kicking off the campaign for only the second time in its
history. Last season at RPI, the
«s
Engineers copped the season opening tournament upsetting the Danes
in the championship game 45-40 to
end Albany's three-year reign as
tournament champs.
Dul that was not the only time

SUSAN MINOICH UPS
Dane point guard Dan Croutier faces some tall defenders In Albany's scrimmage. Tonight the
Danes open their 1982-83 season.
RPI proved to be a pain for the
Danes. Two weeks later Ihc
Engineers visited University Gym
and Ihc Danes just barely defeated
RPI in overtime.
The Engineers are coached by Bill
Kalbaugh who begins his thirtieth
season at that post. He is chiefly
assisted by John Qualtrochi, a
former player as well as assistant
coach here at Albany Stale. QuatIrocchi understands the Albany
system very well and lhal may help
the Engineers do battle with the
Danes.
"John (Quatlrocchi) knows our
style. He knows what he should try
to do to neutralize us and he docs a
pretty good job of it," said Sauers,
The Danes can expect RPI lo play
a very slow and patient game. The
Engineers prefer lo slow down the
tempo of ihc contest, especially if
they get Ihc early lead.
"I'm sure tluit RPI will want lo
play u deliberate gume and I'm sure
that we will want lo make (hem
hurry," said Sauers. "We have a
little edge in experience, I hey have
an edge in size."
Much of thai size will be in ihc
form of a 6'8" center Tom Truax.
Joining Truax up front will be forwards Pete Donccker, 6'2" small
forward and 6'5" Bregman Jeffries.
Jeffries earned Capital District AllTournament Team honors for his
performances in last season's event.
He adds strength undtrncath the
hoop for the Engineers. He was
joined last year on the all-tourney
team by Albany's John Dieckclman
and Dan Croutier.
The Engineers look to be strong
at the guard positions. Leading the
backcourt is a (>'()" junior named
Eric Weinberger. This guard is a
"very good outside shooter," according to Sauers. He averaged 10.1
points per game last year on RPI's
9-14 Icam. The other guard position
belongs to Matt Fccncy. Standing at
6'0", the senior Feeney returns to
the Engineer lineup after starting
for ihc team two years ago.
The Danes will be trying to force
the Engineers into moving with the
ball. Offensively, the Danes will depend on perimeter shooting to open
up the inside game.
"We have a good shooting
learn," said Sauers. "It is going to
be like pulling teeth lo beat RPI.
We're looking for a lough game
and then we will sec what happens
after that."
The winner of the Albany StateRPI contest will face Ihc victor of
the other preliminary game between
the host of the tournament, the
Union College Dutchmen and the
Western Connecticut Colonials.
Union Is a team that ha always
given Albany trouble in the past
and sported a 13-11 record in
1981-82. Their opponents, the Colonials had a poor season last year
after coming in fourth place in last
year's Capital District Tournament
with a 4-21 record. The Colonials
are coached by Joe Koniushesky
who is starting his second year in
charge.
If the Danes beat RPI tonighl
and I hen win in the championship
game, Ihc two victories will raise
Sauers' career record lo the 450
plateau. Sauers is the winningest active Division III coach in nation, so
winning is nothing new.
"The team is the most important. If we win we'll be 2-0," said
the always pensive Sauers. "It will
be a nice way to start."

Women harriers gain fourth in NCAA Qualifiers
By Tracey Carmichael
STAFF HHITER
Last week the Albany State
women's cross country team completed its season by taking fourth
overall in the NCAA Regional
Qualifier'. Championship meet held
at Fredonia.
Cortland look first place of the
19 teams with a score of 30 points,
qualifying for the NCAA National
Championship. In second place was
Binghamton with 93 points, and
Hartwick came in third place with
104 points. Albany scored 111 and
look fourth place.
Head coach Ron White said the
harriers ran a consistent race,
despite the slippery course.
"Because the course was so wet
and, therefore dangerous to the
rjnners, the times were definitely
slower than usual."
Siohban Griffin had the best
time for the young harriers, taking
eleventh overall with her 20.56
lime. Karen Kurthy took twcnlythird with a time of 21:26. Belle
Dzamba took a spill at the two-anda-half mile mark, but was able to
regain her pace and finished Iwcnlyfourth with 21:30.
Karen McCarthy, who usually
leads the harriers, had trouble with
circulation due to the cold weather.
McCarthy came in thirty-fourth
with a time of 21:50. Donna Burnham rounded out Ihc scoring with
a 21:51 and forty-second place oul
of Ihc 145 runners.
While said this was Griffcn's best
race of the year and it was her effort
that made it possible for Albany
State to lake fourth place.
"Overall, I'm very pleased and
proud of this year's team," said
White.
"They really came a long way
and everyone improved tremendously."
White attributes their great
season to the team's ability to blend
together and become a cohesive
team. The women harriers agreed
thai it was ihc effort on White's
pari thai helped the learn lo become
unified.
"He wasn't the kind of coach
that just looked on," said McCarthy. "He ran with us and he really*
cares about us as people, not just as
runners."
The Danes ended their season
with a 7-1-4 record. In the championships, the harriers placed
within the lop four consistently.
White said the Eastern championship was definitely their best
race of the year, in which the Danes
took second place and proved Ihcir
strength. The Capitol District meet
was the best dual meet, where
Albany beat RPI and Union.
White is very proud of the young
harrier's high scoring season and is
looking forward to next year's
season.

t's been a strange week. It all started out on
S u n d a y Morning, November
14,
1982:
I bought the New York Times, and two cans of pepsi and
crawled under the covers !o read, and came across the Book
Review. Scanning the list to acquaint myself with what was being
read more than anything else in this fine nation, I came across such
profound titles as Garfield Takes The Cake. Here Comes Garfield,
Garfield Bigger Than Life, Garfield Weighs In, Garfield Gains
Weight, and Garfield At Large. Six books about cats on the New
York Times Bestseller list. I don't understand! I mean, like, what
the hell is going on? Are cats that convincing an escape? All of us
here at Aspects have decided to write cats books also. After all, if
Jim Davis can do it, we can do it better. Our titles are going to be

Monday Morning, November 15, 1982:
Once again, I attempt to read The Times. In its usual informative
style, it reports that our own Nancy Reagan "used helicopters from
the Presidential fleet on three occasions when she traveled to
Camp David, M d . , at a cost to the taxpayers of $3,110, White
House Records show." Seems old Nance was sometimes accompanied by her decorator Ted Graber. of L.A. Seems that Nance
and her pal don't have too much time these days to take the 90
minute journey by car. After all, she shouldn't have to sit in a car
for a few hours when it only costs a tad over three thousand dollars
to make the trips. I mean, why should she?
Now if I had it my way, I'd have her come to Albany some charming morning in early February and make a little -ole excursion up
to SUNYA on our reliable busses from North Allen Street at 8:55
A M . The temerature would be 10 degrees below not including the
wind-chill factor, and just so she doesn't get spoiled by too much
special treatment, two or three buses will pass her by.

I finally met someone I'd been watching for months. (I always
see him reading the paper) We were talking about what we each
do, and when I told him I work about forty hours a week on
Aspects, he asked me "What's Aspects?"
Tuesday Night, November
16, 1982:
I went to visit my dear friend Damian to give him an album to
review. Though it might not be obvious, he is doing much better.
The treatment is helping immensely. Cards and flowers are appreciated, however. (Wednesday was his birthday) and can be sent
to the ASP office. This encounter doesn't really seem to fit under
my list of strange encounters, but 1 still can't figure out why he kept
on screaming for Toni Basil and sauerkraut.

17, 1982:
I was feeling like everyone was picking on me because of typos
in Aspects and started complaining to my old editor. Andy Carroll.
He casually reminded me about a little incident that occured a couple of months ago in an Aspects he edited. After picking up an
issue in which a few of the lines I had written weie accidently rearranged, I spotted Andy in the crowded campus center and yelled,
at the top of my lungs, "You fucked up my article," Nobody puts
thing into perspective like Andy.

that goes on asserting. It Is asserting every
moment, but we go on forcing our Illusions. That is why every man feels disillusioned In the end. It Is not because of reality that every man and woman feels disillu. sloned In Ihe end. Rather the projections of

American girls, or so they say are loose
as a goose, If you know what I mean. Exactly what do you mean when It Is half pass
and you don't even have "gas".
Out of shape and out of my mind, thank
god above. Little curls and pearls push
their ideas about life down to the local
thought control centers hoping that the sale
on men will be held over. Papa was a rolling stone, I guess, but at least he fucked
ma, so we all could be here now.
Nowadays, It's more than likely that Ihe
wife Is fucking the kids in the master
bedroom, while the husband sits In the
bathroom jerking off to the sound of his
own piss streaming down the side of Ihe
face, arm and body of an invisible lover.
In former times, it was assumed that
there were true religions and false religions,
and that it was an important function of
family and society to teach people as they
were growing up to distinguish the one
from the other.
In a secular society, where religion Is not
taken seriously, neither is serious attention
given to the development of skills in making religious choices. Without such training, young people are Indeed,subject to
undue manipulation by the purveyors of
religious schemes.
Failure to recognize the Importance of
religion in the society leads to overlooking
(hose human needs which are most often
served by religious Involvement. In particular a secular society which prides itself
on being objeclively rational in the scientific
mode may offer little challenge or hope to
the young person who longs to be fully involved In activity which Is of value even at
personal risk or danger. Objective rationality has a hard time satisfying those who
would be heroes who spurn the pragmatic
tests of self-interest.
In modem secular society religion Is
tolerated as a leisure-time activity of the
private sphere of one's life, possibly
aesthetically enriching or capable of satisfying the need (or voluntary association, but
nothing more.
Members of the dominant society by
avoiding dealing with the weaknesses of
society create Jhe needs which are in turn
met by "new" groups. There Is a need to
question some of the assumptions put forward by Ihe dominant society, lust ihese
assumptions force people into unnecessary
choices (like the choice to drink Kool-aid
with Jim Jones).
When you say that a face Is beautiful;
then you create desire, The desire is not for
thai face or that body: it Is for your own interpretation, your own projection. The person that is there, the real person has been
used as a screen, and you have projected
yourself. Then disillusion is bound to be
there because the real face cannot be forced into unreality by your projection
Sooner or later the projection will have to
be dropped, The real face will come out.
and then you will feel thai you have been
cheated. You will say, "What has happened to this face? This face was so beautiful
and this person was so beautiful, and now
everything has gone ugly," Again you are
Interpreting. The person remains whatsoever he is, but your Interpretations and
projections go on, and you are never
allowing energy to assert itself. You go on
suppressing it, You are suppressing inwardly and outwardly also. You never
allow the reality to assert itself
We create an untrue world around us
because of out projections, but if the reality
asserts and the horse neighs from the
stable, we ask, "Whom do you believe?"
We always believe ourselves, not the reality
Don't ask. Walt for the happening, for
what happens. You can ask and some
answer can be given, but that answer can
not become an authentic answer for you
Never jump ahead. Don't ask what hap
pens when one dies. What happens.
Whatsoever is said will be meaningless
because you are still alive. What happens
when someone is dead? You will have to
pass through it. Unless you are dead you
cannot know II Whatsoever Is said can be
believed on trust, but this is meaningless.
Words should not be allowed to exist
between you and reality. With fewer words
there are fewer barriers; with no words
there are no barriers. Words destroy
everything because they change the very
meaning of life
Language never says what is. If you say,
"I opened my eyes," It is a lie. If you say,
"The eyes opened by themselves," It is a lie
again, because eyes are Just fragments,
They cannot open themselves. The whole
organism is Involved, Whatsoever we say is
like thai
When you say,"the river Is flowing."
what do you mean? There Is Just flowing,
and that flowing is the ilver. The walking Is
ihe man. the seeing Is the man, standing
and silling is die man. If you eliminate all
ihese-walklng, silling, standing, thinking,
dreaming-will there be a man left behind?
When all is said and done people require
mote llian what ihey have and yet they
(people in general) live in a time where
Mn ire material wealth and leisure are
available than ever before. The material
things in this world provide the basis of i
trapment for the rich and the enslavement

Pax Femina
eace. Not just a state of not-war,
of waiting for. thinking about, or
preparing for the next conflict,
the next reaction to provocation, or the
next police action- but peace. Real,
secure, positive, lasting peace.
In the last 2,000 years, there have been
35 days of so-called peace. 35 days out of
over 700,000. 35 days when no-one was
shooting at anyone else somewhere in the
world, That's not peace, that's time to
reload.
P
A.G. Carter
The greatest threat to peace isn't the
Soviet Union, or the United States, or even
nuc^ar weapons themselves. The greatest
threat to peace are the attitudes that equate
peace with cowardice, attitudes which require a violent response to a slight (real or
imagined), attitudes which polarize the
world and its people into Irreconcilable
opposltes-- elther-or, good-bad, mindbody, white-black,
male-female,
d e m o c r a c y - c o m m u n i s m , and
even
leaders-people and human-anlmal-earth.
This either-or hierarchy has resulted in the
objectlficatlon and depersonlfication of the
"others", which in turn justifies any action
against that group, up to and including
slaughter.
Leave war- and peacemaking to us, we
are told by the "experts". We know the
particulars of all the science and
technology, and we know what's best for
you, too. Leave it all to us-- the experts.
Another split: experts-everyone else,
Leave It all to us, they say. Well, we have,
and look where we have ended up-- on the
brink of annihilation by nuclear weapons.
But as a woman caught in this society of
which 1 am not considered a full and real
member, what can 1 do? How can I come
to grips with the polarized altitudes of
society, and with the male "experts" who
tell me that as a woman and a
"non-expert", I have nothing to contribute,
no valid opinion. Where can I begin?
I have to realize and reaffirm Ihe cycles
of my body, and their connection (my connection) with Ihe cycles of the earth itself. I
cannot, as do some, view the earth (and Its
resources) as something to be conqueredcontrolled-harnessed-exploiled; for In doing so I huy into my own oppression as a
woman by men. and Into the oppression of
other "others"-- black people, poor people, disabled, etc. All are manifestations of
the same elther-or mentality, and I have to
recognize them all as threats to me,
My capacities to nurture-- so often
maligned and used to justify my
oppression-- have to be developed and
validated • and presented in counter pose
to a violent, death-and destructionoriented society. I feel that if men gave
birth, or were responsible for nurturance of
children and ihe aged, that they would find
it impossible to disregard or belittle life the
way they so blatantly do now, They are disconnected from birth and growth, and
therefore cannot feel ihe true horror of unn a t u r a l death of any s o r t - - e v e n
(especially?) mass death.
I have to realize and claim my
"expertise" on the issue of war and nuclear
weapons. I am an expert by virtue of the
fact that I am a living, feeling being who
would rather be anything but dead; a
woman who cares about all people and the
earth we inhabit; who stands horror-
stricken .it the ease and carelessness with
which immediate death and everlasting suffering are being considered as options in
the charade of foreign policy (of all countries, not just ihe current holders of nuclear
weapons. The countries thai don't have
them want Iheni and are working hard to
get them ) I don't have to know the
amount of ICBM's or the throw-weight
capabilities of eilher side lo know thai my
life, and the chance of life for my descendants, is in peril. 1 can feel It in my bones
and In my heart-- and that makes me an
expert.
Women around the world are taking
their strengths and expertise and transforming them into action, both within male
groups arid in separate women's organizations. We are expressing our universal (and
specific) concerns, and defying the
nuclear, death-worshipping mentality.
We are taking our capacities to nurture,
love, and respect life and defining them as
powerful forces which can be used to reorder ihe world's priorities-- away from
death and destruction and toward lifeaffirming, people-serving areas. We can bring a unique perspective to the peace
movement, and we must do so. We cannot, however, allow ourselves or our
talents to be co-opted or used against us (as
often happens In male-dominated
movements); but we must recognize, and
have others recognize, the validity of our
opinions-feelings, and the value of our
contributions.
The topic all last week In the Campus
Center was peace. Peace to us all. Peace to
us all

what has resulted is that people have

Us many musical Influences Is without

we once were, Q104 provides more
musical choices to Its listeners than any
other commercial station In the northeast,
In a typical week. Q104 listeners are exposed to a diversity that Includes
everything from the Art Ensembles of
Chicago to Elvis Presley to Joy Division.
We are primarily a rock-n-roll station.
Unlike most contemporary rock stations,
we do not believe ihe idiom began in 1970
and ended in 1977. We place as much em
phasis on the pioneers of the 50's and 6Q's
as we have placed on the new music of the
KO's. When Q104 plays "Dancing In the
Streets", the artist is more likely to be Mar
tha Reeves than Van Halen. Since we enjoy the heritage of nearly three decades of
rock-n-roll. our listeners tend to be sllghlly
older than the traditional AOR audience
We feel that the people who loved Little
Richard in the 50's are the same people
who appreciate the Talking Heads today
We value spontaneity, Innovation, and

Elaborating The Blythe Spirit
O
ne of the highlights of this past
summer's first annual Greenwich
Village Jazz Festival was Arthur
Blythe's week-long appearance at the
Village Vapguard. Backed by the quintet
relerred to by Blythe as "the guitar band",
the portly alto saxophonist roared ihrough
set after set ol original and excitingly
modern music. Blythe Is one of the real
gems In the CBS stable of Jazz stars and, as
such, Is afforded enough promotional help
to bring his music to the attention ol the
jazz-listening public. And it's a good thing
because each of his five CBS releases since
1979, Including the new Elaborations,
have combined Blythe's unique style as
composer and leader, with inspired playing
by a host of prominent sldemen, to produce music which has to be regarded as
some of today's most important modern
Jazz.
Larry Rader
. Elaborations features the same quintet
that appeared at the Vanguard. The group
has the unusual Instrumentation of alto
sax, tuba, cello, electric guitar, and drums.
Blythe calls It "the guitar band" to
distinguish It from his other group, "In The
Tradition", In which he Is backed up by the
conventional rhythm section ol piano,
bass, and drums. That group consists of
Fred Hopkins and Steve McCall, the bassist
and drummer from the group "Air", along
with pianist John Hicks, lit addition to an
album called In The Tradition, on which
the group plays mostly jazz standards, the
quartet can be heard on Illusions and
Blythe Spirit. Released In 1980 and 1981
respectively, these two albums divide the
vinyl between Blythe's two bands. One of
the remarkable aspects o! Blythe's music is
how smoothly songs, originally written for
the quartet (such as "Miss Nancy" Irom Illusions), have been rearranged to (it the instrumental lormat ol "the guitar band" lor

Blythe Is kind of a new thing for the saxophonist from San Diego, California, who
started playing alio when he was nine.
Alter moving to New York in 1974, al the
age ol thirty-four, Blythe worked as a
security guard at a Manhattan porno club,
trying Io save enough money to bring his
wile and three kids to the east coast. Meanwhile, Blythe was earning a reputation as a
musician, working with the likes of David
Murray and Chris Tyler, until he was offered a )ob In drummer Chlco Hamilton's
group, with whom Blythe subsequently
recorded and toured. Blythe has since
played In the groups of Gil Evans, Lester
Bowie, and Jack DeJohnetle, and, In addition to the five CBS albums, has led his
own bands on records released by India
Navigation and Adelphl, two independent
jazz labels.
Elaborations opens with the album's title
track, in which Blythe Immediately

Blythe play. It Is easy to envision Charlie
Parker; the robust Blythe plays his alto with
the vigor and intensity that Is
characteristically Bird-like. But listening to
his solos, one is often reminded of John
Coltrane, whom Blythe acknowledges as
his major Influence. Blythe's playing
features the Coltrane traits of extending the
rhythm section, along with some guest
soloists (Including Blythe),
ijof Jazz playing. "Metamorphosis" Is also a
showcase for the drumming of Bobby Battle, a powerful percussionist who formerly
worked In the group "Warriors" with Don
Pullen, Chlco Freeman, and Fred
Hopkins. Battle's playing on all of Elaborations Is crisp and driving; his contribution to
the rhythmic flow of the group's music Is
immeasurable, especially In light of the
band's lack of a bass player.
Side two of Elaborations opens up with
the only song on the album not written by
Blythe, the old standard "One Mint Julep".
The song Is handled at a rapid pace, with
both Blythe and Bell delivering playful
solos. "Shadows" Is next, a beautiful com. position scored for the trio of Blythe,
Stewart, and cellist Abdul Wadud. Wadud

"The academic year 1970-71 was one of
acute and sometimes painful adjustment.
While lens of thousands. . . sought admission lo Ihe Slate University, . . . we were
confronted with a fiscal crisis of fairly
serious proportions. Abruptly, the University was forced to reassess Its future goals
and reduce several ongoing programs.
"Such rapid revaluation created considerable uncertainty and new tensions.
Almost overnight, il seemed, the State
University, like most other institutions of
higher learning, ended an era of rapid
growth and sustained support and entered a
period of more measured growth and more
cautious funding."
— SUNY Chancellor Ernest I. Boyer
from the 1970-71 Chancellor's Report
Chancellor Boyer could not have known
how bad things would be in 1970-71 — or
how bad they were to get. The "new
realities," as Boyer called them were a
shock after the State University's rapid ebpansion in the preceeding two decades.
When the State University was formed In
1948 to serve New York State's returning
veterans, the possibilities
for the nation's first

limitless. With Nelson A.
Rockefeller as governor when the state's
"gentlemen's agreement" not lo compete
with the state's private colleges ended, the
funds that poured into SUNY construction
and deveoopment it seemed, would never
end.
The inllation and recessions of the '70s,
however, have tightened the slate budget.
The State University has seen the end of
those seemingly limitless possibilities and
has been left with fewerand more difficult
decisions.
Rapid growth
In 1946, a commission established by the
Inset: Clifton Wharlon; SUNY Central building
Inflation and recession of Ihe 70's have tightened the stale budget, leaving SUNY with some difficult decisionsstate legislature found that less than half of
the slate students ranking in the top quarter
of their high school classes would attend
college. The cost of education was a major
factor, the commission found. At the time,
New York was the only state then in the
country without a public university. Today, the 64 campus system is the nation's
largest.
While % percent of SUNY's 380,000
students are slate residents, three of live
state high school graduates attending college leave the slate, according to ihe SUNY
Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, Jr. Yet, he
emphasizes, there is a SUNY campus wiihin
50 miles of nearly every stale resident, "and
1 don't know of a subject that you can't
study at some Institution,"
The growth of SUNY was limited in the
'50s by a "gentleman's agreement" with
the state's private colleges and universities.
The agreement allowed SUNY lo grant
liberal arts degrees only from the college at
BInghamton. SUNYjdid. however, found
the upstate and downstatc medical centers
and a number of community colleges.
With Rockefeller as governor in the '60s,
development of the Stale University accelerated, Founded were Ihe four university centers at Buffalo, Albany, Stony Brook
and Binghamton, most of the 30 community colleges, half a dozen agricultural and
technical colleges, several specialized colleges, and a handful of statutory colleges,
which are operated fointly by SUNY and
the private colleges at which Ihey arc
located. A dozen colleges of liberal aris
and sciences, including Frcdonia Slate
University, were developed mainly from existing teacher's colleges. In ten years,
SUNY enrollment quadrupled.
In Iwo decades, $3.3 billion had been
spent constructing the university system —
an accomplishment The New York Times
has called "one of the most dramatic feats
in American higher education."
The Times also called SUNY's design "a
combination of happenstance, politics and
occasional planning," citing the location of
campuses on already existing private college
campuses or where a community college
sponsor could be found, and political
reasons for spreading c a m p u s e s
geographically around the state.
An arguable result of this "decentralization" has been what some argue is a "leveling effect." Because there are so many
campuses, the argument goes, Ihe politics
of giving mi ire lo one campus than another
will prevent any one campus from being
"great." Willi current state underfunding,
Ihe argument is now used to predict the
deterioration of Ihe entire system, since all
campuses musl "suffer equally."
Another issue often argued is whether

The Falashas are faced with potential annihilation.
IIK//ZK
The plight of black Ethiopian Jews who have been
persecuted for centuries and who long for immigration lo
Israel was revealed last night to a group Of 30 people
in a Campus Center meeting room by JSC-llillcl's guest
speaker Barbara Gaffin, as pari of her continuing effort to
educate and motivate people to action.
No one is sure liow Jews came to settle in Ethiopia, said
Gaffin, but added, "most people lliink that they look a
different route from Moses and Ihe others in Ihe Exodus
from Egypt." Because they were isolated from mainstream
Judaism, they adhere only lo ihe laws of the Torah, and
Ihcir religious rituals are influenced by those of other
Ethiopians. They don't have Bar Mitzvahs, Gaffin observed.
Gaffin, who recently returned from a irip lo Ethiopia,
said that the Ethiopian jews, called Falashas, are forbidden
lo emigrate by ihe government. During her irip, she said
she was warned the villages were off limits to tourists, •
However, Gaffin was able to find someone lo take her to
the villages, via a three day trip over Ihe Simiens mountains
on horses and mules.
Gaffin explained thai starting in the 15th century, Ihe
Falashas have come under attack from Christian and
Muslim forces, and were forbidden to own land. She explained that Falasha, translated, means "one who does nol
own land."
Gaffin observed that the Falshas arc now in an especially
precarious situation. Since the Marxist revolution in
Ethiopia In I974, Gaffin said, the Falashas have been
caught in the crossfire between the government and the
rebels. " I hey each thought the Falashas were on the other
side." She noted that large massacres of ihe Falashas have
taken place, and now Ihey are faced with potential annihilation.
In addition, she said, Ihe governor of the Gondar province, where most Falashas live, is anti-Zionist, and subjects them lo Indiscriminate imprisonment and torture.
Gaffin added that a program offering food and medical
aid has been suspended and reported finding problems of
malnutrition and disease among the group.'
2500 Falashas have managed to emigrate to Israel, Gaffin
estimated, and said many have acculturatcd quickly d u e
to their "fervent religious Zionism."
' .
The Falashas, she continued, accept everything the
Israelis leach, and some even completely give up the Ethiopian culture.
Bui many Israelis, Gaffin said, don't believe the Falashas
are Jews, because of their apparent intermarriages. Before
1975 Ihe Law of Return, which states that all Jews have the
right to live in Israel, was not applicable to the Falashas.
Gaffin said she Is now following what a Falasha in Israel
advised her to do: "Tell the world what is happening."
"The lack of atlention by Ihe Jewish community is horrendous," she said, adding that she is committed to getting
a movement going to educate people on the Falasha's
"holocaust."
