loll from Ihc blast Monday could rise because at least two other
Americans were missing. A Lebanese official said 22 Americans and
98 Lebanese were wounded.
The blast, which oeenred at 1:05 p.m. (6i05 EST) blew o f f Ihc front
wall o f the center section o f the seven story embassy from the ground
to the roof and devastated the ground rioor visa section in the northern wing.
Ambulances and fire engines raced through lleitut siieets with wailing sirens after the attack, rushing casualties from the scene and pulling out fires In the building and several cars parked around it.
Casualties also were airlifted lo U.S. and French hospital ships sin
lioncd off the Beirut coast as state and private Beirut radios blared ap
peals from hospitals for urgent blood donations.
Police said the front of (he seaside embassy was blown oul by 500
pounds o f explosives packed Into a vehicle which witnesses described
as a " C M C p i c k u p . " Hut I ho police said il was not known if the explosives were scl o f f by remote control or if Ihc driver was still in it and
blew himself up.
A n earlier police report said the vehicle was a gray ear used by Ihc
Lebanese security police.

on a lower floor. He suffered minor cuts and said the bomb-laden
vehicle may have crashed through a barricade.
" 1 was standing up with a telephone in one hand and a T-shirt in the
other. I was preparing lo go out and jog, when all of a sudden my office collapsed," Ihc ambassador told reporters.
" I was unable to move. Someone picked Ihc rubble o f f me. My
secretary and my deputy, Hob Pugh, pushed the nibble off me. I went
out the window ami down a few floors and ihen o u t . "

Shakers, A's dispute stadium site
By I .villi Krakinowskl
The Albany-Colonie A ' s , a Class A A minor league
leam for ihc Oakland A's, and their sponsors, the
town o f Colonic and Albany County, have already had
their share ol headaches in a season that lias barely
begun.
With a lawsuit pending over the construction of a
$1.2 million, 5,000-scat baseball stadium, and delays
over the signing of a Ihrcc-way agreement, il looks as
though the new Class A Eastern League leam will be
playing more than just a few games at Albany's
Blocker Stadium this season.
Recently moved from Walerbury, Conn., the A's
first home game is scheduled for tonight.
After several months of consideration, the 10-acrc
parcel of land near the Albany County Airport adjacent to the 18th century historic Shaker Cemetery was
chosen as the prime spot for the future home of Ihc
A's. The town o f Colonic and Albany County will be
joint owners of the proposed stadium and plan lo
share in the proceeds o f ticket sales and pari of the
concessions,
.However, eight survlvng eldrcsses of the Shaker
Christian religious sect have sought an Injunction
against the construction o f Ihc stadium. They claim the
building o f the stadium would disturb Ihc 21X1' x -100'
cemetery where the founder of the Shakers, Mother
A n n l.ee, is buried.
Shakers believe in the duality o f Gods, and consider
Ann l.ee to be the female equivalent to Christ.
I f ihc stadium is built, home plate would be about
5(X) yards from the rounder's grave, just south of the
stadium sile. Albany attorney Douglas Ward,
representing Ihc Shakers, said, " I f Ihc stadium is built
near the cemetery, it will become the sideshow of the
baseball f i e l d . "

Student exchange programs between the
United Slates and the People's Republic of
China apparently will not be affected by the
cultural embargo announced by China last
week, according to Associate Professor Alvin
Magid, Chairman of Ihc Political Science
Department of SUNYA.
Responding to the recent U.S. decision to
grant 19-year-old Chinese tennis star I In Na
political asylum, the Chinese government announced a halt of cullural exchanges scheduled lor 1983.
" I ' m not aware ol' any Chinese person al
S U N Y A who has been lold lo pack their
bags," said Magid, " n o r of any American
students in China who have been asked lo
leave. A l l I know al Ihis point is that it has
nol affected university exchanges."
Magid said he could only speculate as to
Hu Na's reasons for defecting. "Being
manipulated by the C I A Is a popular, easy
charge. It could be that she was exposed lo
pro-Taiwan Interests, or maybe she's out to
make a million bucks."
Mugid suggested Ihal had Hu Na not mentioned parly pressures us her reason for
defecting, " t h e Chinese reaction might not
have been so "sharp. I think she hit a raw
nerve when she indicted ihc party in explaining why it was ihal she was seeking political
refuge." Hut " t o repudiate the Chinese
ideological line is lo declare war. She exacerbated Ihc problem of face for the Chinese by
the remarks she made,"
Magid also pointed out thai Ihcrc have
been previous defections "without obvious
political motivation on the pari of Ihc
Chinese defector" and which met with little
protesi from the Chinese government.
" T h i s is u very selective response on their
purl. Cancelling student exchanges would be
seriously disruptive," he said.
International Student Services Director
Dr. Paul Ward saw no Immediate threat to
present or future student exchanges. " T o the
best of my knowledge and from what I've
read in Ihc press, educational exchanges are
nol affected. There have been no queries lo
tills office by Chinese students regarding
their status."
Ward said thai he knew of no cancellations
of exchanges planned for the fall o f 1983,
and thai the 16 Chinese exchange students
now al Albany were in no danger.
When asked whether he might be asked lo
return to China, Visiting Scholar I Ian Zhang
Ye said, " I don't think s o . " Ye, who is working in S U N Y A ' s Biology Deparlment, commented on the reasoning behind the Chinese
decision.
" H u Na wants to make asylum in Ihc U.S.,
bin ihc Chinese government doesn't think
there is a reason. I ihink somebody instigated
I lu Na to make this action. She's a young girl
and doesn't understand any English al a l l , "
said Ye, who is from Eudan University in
Shanghai.
Exchange student Yan Una Zhu was also
suspicious o f wily Hu Na defected.
"Somebody miisl have arranged for her lo
deled. She has a lawyer." Zhu said she fell
ihal Hit Na was " h o o d w i n k e d . "
Dr. Magid pointed out Ihal any emphasis
pul on l l u Nu's retaining a lawyer is
understandable, because lawyers are extremely rare in China. I le added Ihal there was nol
evciiM criminal justice system under the communis! regime until aboul five years ago.
Furthermore, Magid said Ihal since Hu Na
has a lawyer, it is implied lo Chinese
observers Ihal she has al leasl one go-between
assisting her, since she does not speak
English.
Another exchange student, Ju Ynnaii, said
Ihal in a recent television appearance, Hu Nn
used Chinese phrases nol usually used by
Mainland Chinese. Said Yannn, " 1 believe
someone was working behind her. She is being lured away. I don't think a kid like her
can make any sensible decisions."

Rally decries taxes for defense, unemployment
By!Tim

STATE I •HESS SERVICE
A rally of about 250 people followed by a
march from ihc Washington Avenue Armory
Sunday highlighted this area's participation
in a first ever altcmpl to open up a dialogue
on the subject of military spending and the
effect that a multi-billion dollnr defense
budget has on American citizens.
Coordinated locally by the Albany Peace
and Energy Coalition (APEC), Sunday's
"Jobs With Peace" rally was one of a large
number of similar events over Ihe course of
the past week which saw over I50,(XK)
Americans from 150 cities call for an examination of "ihe largest peacetime military
buildup in history" — $1.6 Irillion between
1981 and 1986 — in relation lo "over $200
billion in cuts in domestic programs," according to the peace coalition,
The ralllers amassed al the Armory, sang
protest songs and then marched to Ihc
Federal Building on Broadway — the Local
office of US Representative Samuel Siralion,
as well as the Internal Revenue Service.
APEC spokesperson Ruth Fosier said lhat
Ihc march lo ihc building had Iwo purposes:
one, to let Slratton know ihcy were concerned with unemployment and Its relation to the
military budget buildup, and Iwo, lo prolesl
Ihe use of laxes for defense to Ihe IRS.
According 10 a Jobs Willi Peace National
Network campaign coordinator in San Francisco, Selh Adler, "Tax Day" look place in
50 US cities last Friday, 10 prolesl ihc sending
of lax dollars lo the Pentagon.
Organized labor, for the first lime in the
recent history of the peace movement, look
pan in Ihe effort both nationally and locally,
accordirg lo Adler, Foster, and SUNYA
United University Professions (UUP)
spokesperson Jim McClellan.
"The UUP delegation here, including
chapter president Tim Reilly, look Ihe lead in
gelling Albany County Central Labor
Federation involved ill this," McClellan said,
"they donated niosl of the money for prlnling." He added thai AFL-CTO offices in Ihe
area all participated, including the building
Irndcs, the Federal, Stale, Counly, Municipal
Logo from NYPIRG pamphlet stressing "Jobs With Peace."
Calls for an examination of "Ihe largest peacetime military buildup in history?.
Employees Union, United Auto Workers,
small clothing and textile unions, sheet metal,
bus drivers and longshoreman groups.
"The range of representation was real
good," McClellan continued. "II was a first
small step and we're going lo go all ihe way.
There's no fooling around litis lime. While
Students fought for nine years, Ihe war (in
Vietnam) wenl on and we didn'l do anything.
Labor stayed pro-war (ill Ihe end. This lime,
we're gcling out there and showing (people)
thai this is 1101 only doing damage 10 ihc people in El Salvador, bui hurling Ihc very
livelihood of Ihe American people — jobs."
"Every level of organizing" produced
"good, marked achievements," Adler said.
"The lypc of events aiiempiing 10 open
discussion on this issue were as diverse as one
can imagine," he commented.
Adler agreed with Foster and McClellan.
"Organized labor participated in many ways,
something we've never had happen in a
peace-type movement." He added lhat labor
groups held press conferences, military
budget hearings and tax day events.
In February, Ihe New York Slate Assembly
passed a resolution calling for support or the
Jobs Wilh Peace project and for New York
slate residents to "participate in educational
activities lo examine Ihe Impact of military
spending on jobs and domestic programs."
Over 70 cities have passed a Jobs Wilh Peace
resolution as well, Foster said, including San
Francisco, Milwaukee, Baltimore and
Boston.
Other events held nationally included inlerracial religious services, military budget
hearings in city councils, neighborhood
breakdowns of lax dollars going 10 ihe Pentagon compared 10 lax dollars coming in as
social programs, and a number of statewide
budget dollar breakdowns similar lo
NYPIRO's recently released report. Among
slates releasing similar reports arc
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio and West
Virginia, according lo Adler.
A new concept is the leaching of a curriculum on Ihe subject of jobs and peace by
high school teachers, some of which will exlend beyond lasl week's "Jobs With Peace
Week." Adler reported thai 12 cities are currently involved in Ihe leaching of this curriculum, which he said is also being
developed for Ihe university level.
The concept was developed in pari by what
Adler described as a "type of work going on
(in the peace movement) that is qualitatively
different than Ihe lypc of work lhat has gone
on in the past."
The curriculum encompasses nuclear war
and weapons, jobs and unemployment, and
military and domestic spending. Developed
Dy the Massachusetts Teachers' Association
for a "Jobs Wilh Peace Week" lasl year in
Boston in conjunction wilh community people, Adler says, the nationally available curriculum was then overseen by the National
Education Association.

Defense industry hurts NYS'Black Women's Week' geared to
By Matt Reiss
STATU PRESS SEH VICE
Increased military spending will not benefit
New York stale residents as much as a
decrease in military spending would, according to a study presented last Wednesday by
Ihe New York Public Interest Group's Disarmament Project. The authors of the study,
entitled "Production for Destruction:
Military Spending in New York Stale," called upon the governor and elected representatives to redirect their efforts from Irying lo
altraci more military contracts to the slate
towards attracting programs in education,
public works, housing and health care, all of
which they conlcnd create more jobs and services.
Although New York Stale is Ihc nation's
second leading recipient of military contracts
and has never been lower than third in
decades, residents and corporations paid out
$2.4 billion more (in federal tax dollars earmarked for ihe Pentagon) lhan Ihe stale
received in Ihe form of military contracts in
1980, according to the report. This amount is
"almost exactly the amount the Reagan
budget cut in civilian spending from New
York lasl year," said New York Stale
Assembly Assistant Maiorily leader Dick
Goafi-icd (D-Manhallan).
Goltfricd recently sponsored a resolution
which passed Ihe Democratic Assembly by a
large margin, to proclaim April 10-16 "Jobs
with Peace Week." A similar resolution,
sponsored by Sen. Franz Lcichlcr, was referred to Ihe Republican-controlled Senate
Finance Committee Feb. 15 bill never reached
Ihe Senate floor.
NYPIRG Legislative Director Arihur
Malkin explained lhal only lOof New York's
62 counties benefit from these military contracts, while Ihe other 52 (wilh 80 percent of
the stale's population) lose an average of $97
million per year amounting lo some $600-800
per worker.
Belh Chocn DcGrassc, disarmament project director and one of Ihe authors of the
report, explained, "The 10 counties lhat now
benefit would have 10 run even faster 10 gel
more coniracls as ihe Pentagon budget expands." An example is Long Island's Nassau
and Suffolk Counties, which experienced an
increase of contracts of 8.5 percent between
1976 and 1980 and had a defense-oriented
employment decline of 24 percent during Ihc
same period.
According lo the report, 1.2 percent of Ihc
slate's workforce was employed as a result of
military spending, with a majority of the jobs
going to while collar and highly skilled
workers who currently enjoy one of the
lowest unemployment rales in Ihe country.

events of April 9-15 was called "Black
Women's Week," it was "geared lo include
both men and women," according lo Dawn
Workman, coordinator of ihc activities,
The wecklong events were sponsored by
Albany Stale University's Black Alliance

"We had about an even amount of both,
which is good, because that was our objective — lo unite black women and men,"
Workman said. The social events included a
gospel lest, a soul food dinner on Dutch
Quad, a gym night and a Sadie Hawkins
Dance. These events, she explained, were
"mainly to increase black unity. The soul

Ihe week
A show entitled "A Tribute 10 Beautiful
Black Women" also emphasized black
women's participation in Ihc arts. The
event, a cooperative effort between
students and Ihc community, "was a

explained Valeric Benjamin, a committee
tncmber^who assisted in qjie planning _of#
Black Women's Week. The poems included
Ihc reading of verses by Sojourner Trulh,
and a reading by Helen Rhodes, a SUNYA

included Ihc participation of Carla Page, an
Albany talk show hosi.
The highlight of Ihc week was an "Inspirational Night" held on Thursday in Ihc
Campus Center Assembly Hall, an event
which featured several guest panelists from
ihc community, including Jan K. Meyers,
atlorney; Pal Zuber, Key Bank Supervisor,
Dr. Arlcne Delaney, physician: and Lillian
Rogers, Commissioner of Ihe Department
of Labor, as Ihe keynole speaker. Delaney
said that she "wanted students to know that
they should strive to do whatever they
want, and become what they desire.They
should lake the chance to follow their
dream," despite any obstacles.
Delaney continued, "They should also
realize that there are many members of the
community that are willing to help, lo give
advice or jusl for the benefit of our experience. We are willing lo help, but we
must first be approached by the students."
Benjamin, instrumental in recruiting the
speakers for the event, said, "The subtheme of Ihe night was 'black women's
struggle for achievement.' We wanted lo
show ihe obstacles that ihey overcame, not
only in Iheir careers, bul also in civic activities," she explained. "We warned Ihem
to share their achievements wilh us. We
were hoping lhat young men and women
would be encouraged to struggle on and
strive lo achieve their goals," said Benjamin.
The events, said ASUBA President EddieEdwards, were a "successful recognition of
the significant contributions of black
. women in American life. I think that we
had a good turnout for Ihe events, and thai
people enjoyed them. We were very pleased
wilh Ihe results."

Would you like to be the student

at Commencement
Exercises?
If so9 the Class of '63 is now
accepting
speeches for
consideration.
Seniors pursuing [heir first job may be encouraged by the
findings of an Employmcnl Outlook Survey conducted by
Manpower Inc., a temporary service firm. The Survey
predicts a sharply improved job situation during the next
three months. However, Director of Career Planning and
Placement John Alexander warns students not to get lulled
into a false sense of security by the survey results and to
maintain a persistent job search.
The survey polled more than 11,175 employers in 348
U.S. cities and predlcts,"that a significant number, 21
percent, ol firms plan to hire additional workers during the
second quarter of 1983 (April, May, June), while the pace
of staff reductions will diminish dramatically."
"Nationwide, the 21 percent of employers planning to increase staff size represents the highest level since 1981. For
the second quarter of 1982, 9 percent had planned staff additions, but this was dulled by 13 percent of the respondents
who expected staff cutbacks. Companies that will decrease
employment Tell from last year's 13 percent to 8 percent this
year, the lowest level since 1980. Also, 69 percent plan no
changes for the next three months and 2 percent arc unsure
of their plans. Last year, 65 percent planned no changes in
staff levels and 3 percent were unsure of (heir plans," according to Manpower's findings. Manpower, lire . is a temporary set vice firm based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin which
employs 700,(XX) people. The survey was developed in 1976
by the University of Michigan, according to manpower
spokeswoman Kathy Rogge-Anas. It is based upon
telephone interviews with over 11,175 public and private
employers in 348 U.S. cities. "The businesses surveyed are
the same ones every year," Rogge-Anas said. "They were
chosen as a representative sampling of businesses nationwide by the size and nnlurc of lite company," The survey
polls employers from 10 different employment sectors.
Manpower President Mitchell S. Fromslcin attributed
the survey results to a cautious hut still very solid rise in
business confidence. He said, "The most dramatic improvement in job opportunities is expected to occur in
those sectors which were hardest hit during the recession —
construction and manufacturing of durable goods.
Jobseekcrs in the troubled Midwest are likely' to find a
much improved job climate with survey figures the best
reported for that region ofany quarter during lite past three
years."
The survey predicts major improvements in the finance,
insurance and real estate sectors, and in wholesale and
retail trade. It also claims that the manufacture of nondurable goods, the transportation and public utilities sectors
and education arc improving, but to a lesser degree than the
former groups. It further says geographic regions where the
recession hit hardest are expected to show the sharpest improvement, For instance, the Midwest reported the largest
gain in employment opportunities. Southern jobseekcrs are
likely to find an improved job climate, but not as
dramatically improved as the Midwest. In the Northeast
and West, an expected upward movement in job prospects
based on seasonal factors is predicted, but the upswing is
no greater than the survey reported last year at this time.
The survey predicts a dramatic seasonal increase in hiring
in the construction industry. Nationally, 34 percent of

employers polled in this sector plan to hire additional
workers in the next three months compared to 30 percent
with similar Intentions last year. Ten percent expect reductions as opposed to 18 percent last year, and 53 percent plan
no changes in staff levels, as opposed to last year when 49
percent planned no changes in stall' levels.
A further decline in the number of cutbacks is expected
by manufacturers for the second quarter of 1983. The
number of durable goods manufacturers planning on additional workers in the next three mouths, 24 percent, is the
highest since the fourth quarter of 1981. Three times as
many employers in the Midwest plan to add staff as expect
reductions, and the outlook is the best reported Tor any
quarter since the second quarter of 1980. Nationally, 9 percent of durable goods manufacturers polled expect to cut
back workers, 65 percent plan no changes, and 2 percent
arc unsure. Last year, 20 peceut planned to increase staff,
16 percent expected reductions, 60 percent expected no
change and 4 percent were unsure.
Manufacturers of non-durable goods also report an improved employment outlook, with 20 percent planning to
increase staff, 8 percent expecting reductions, 69 percent
planning no changes and 3 percent unsure of their plans.
Last year, 19 planned to add workers, 12 percent predicted
reductions, 66 percent planned no changes and 3 percent
were unsure of their plans.
Hiring strength in the finance, insurance and real estate
sectors is also predicted to be the strongest in over two
years. Nationwide, 21 percent of employers polled plan to
hire additional workers while only 6 percent expect cutbacks. Seventy-one percent plan no changes and 2 percent
are unsure of their llll Ing plans. Southern employers predict
the most dramatic Improvement in the job outlook for this
sector. There, 29 percent plan to hire stall' while only 2 percent expect reductions.
The survey also predicts an improvement in wholesale
and retail trade. Nationwide, 6 percent of merchants polled
expect staff cutbacks as opposed to 12 percent last year.
Currently, 23 percent plan to hire additional workers during the next three months. Sixty-nine percent plan no
changes and 2 percent arc unsure of their plans. Last year
20 percent planned to increase staff si/c, 65 percent planned
no changes, and 3 percent were unsure of their hiring plans.
A decline in cutbacks is reported by transportation anil
Utilities employers according to the survey. Seventeen
percent plan lo expand staff size while 10 percent expect
cutbacks. Last year 16 percent predicted layoffs. The South
and West rcporl the highest number of job opportunities in
this sector.
The service sector was not as severely affected by the
recession as other employment sectors, but its hiring
strength is not expected lo return lo normal levels before a
solid trend lor Improvement is established by the hard-hit
manufacturing sectors, according to Manpower. Overall,
23 percent of service employers plan lo expand staff size, as
opposed lo 24 percent lasi year. Another 6 percent evpeel
reductions and 69 percent plan no changes.

SUNYA's 'Telepledge' drive dialing for dollars
By llenc Weiiistein
STAFF WRITER
Topic: "Welcome to Commencement"
Students at graduation last year.
Jobs forecast should lift dampened spirits.
Telepledgc, a telephone solicitation program aimed at
alumni, is being included as a principle fundraising device
in (he University's Annual Fund campaign this .semester.
The program began as a short-term pilot program last
semester but will be continued due to tire overwhelming
response il lias received, according lo Carol Clas, the
assistant to the director of Resource Development and
supervisor of lire program.
Before the program was put into effect, the university
solicited alumni by mail only. This method produced only
a two percent mail return, according lo Clas, a SUNYA
alumnus. Tclcplcdge's efforts last semester produced
$95,(XX) in pledges and (he administration is hopeful that
their goal of $150,000 will be reached. An estimated
$45,(XX) has been pledged so far.
Alumni who donate money arc given the opportunity lo
designate the specific area their pledge will support. Diane
Grinnell, a former caller, said lire Annual Fund includes:
the Library Development Fund, the Great Dane Fund and
the Alumni Program Fund. All non-dcslgnalcd donations
arc placed in the University Progress Fund, which uses its
resources for projects that (he state refuses to underwrite,
such as extra departmental support, speeches and
demonstrations,
In addition, alumni with a special interest can designate
their money in that direction, for example, a specific
academic department, Most pledges lend, however; to
leave the decision up lo (he university,
According lo Clas, detailed "lead" letters arc first sent
lo the alumni several weeks in advance of the telephone
call lo explain the needs of the university. "It's much
harder lo deliver a cold description of ihc program on lite
telephone," explained Clas.
The the good results arc attributed, by Clas, lo the
unusualness of the program, "People arc not used lo gelling a call from SUNYA."
According to Lisa Pazer, an economics major who
cams extra money as a studcnl caller, "The people who
run Telepledgc are very diplomatic and thoy give us a
loose structure on which to base our calls. We lake il from
there."
'People are not used to
getting a call from
SUNYA. "
— Carol Clas
Grinnell agreed, saying, "Basically we start off asking
them what they are doing now. We have some really nice
conversations, but we face rejection, loo."
After the telephone calls are made, follow-up letters
and pledge cards arc sent Immediately to the alumni who
have made contributions lo the fund. Clas added, mail
solicitation Is continued for those people who arc
unreachable by telephone.
A test-run to solicit money front parents of current
students was done two weeks ago, according lo Dr, Sorrell Chcsin, vice president for university affairs, Bight
hundred parents of current seniors were called. Chesln
said that the "response was enormous. Forty percent of
the parents pledged Immediately, Thirty-five pcrcenl promised to contribute Inn could not give an exact amount at
ihc lime." Il is not known if the solicitation practice will
continue.
Louis Schrihz, an expert In the field of telephone
solicitation, was hired by ihc administration (o establish
lire Telepledgc program. He is now employed on a temporary basis as a advisor lo the project. He was
unavailable for comment.
Studcnl callers are employed In Ihc program because of
the anticipated Interchange of ideas between former and
current callers. "Some pledgers graduated with the class
of 1912," said Clas, "and the university has really changed since then."
The program was established with the Intention of
employing ihc student callers instead of seeking
volunteers, which lias been done In the past. According to
Clas, "There is no w'ay lo run something like this on a
volunteer basis." A volunteer program would work for
maybe two weeks, but not for any long term period. Clas
explained thai this way enabled her lo train the students
and keep Ihc good workers.
Of the 30 students employed, most have some sort of
telephone solicitation experience and have the ability to
respond quickly and articulately. The ability lo listen is
important, according 10 Pazer, "an average call can lake
15 minutes, and If you gel an alumnus who wants to talk
ahum the school, you can't cut them off. You have lo
listen."
Clas Insisted that practically all major departments are
represented through the students. "The only difference,
basically, is in (heir approaches. Business majors tend lo
be more business-like and psychology more chatty and
able lo put people more at ease."

When It comes to dealing with the
disabled, the "real problem is attitudes," two Hofstra University
psychology professors told an
Assembly Hall audience last week.
Take, lor example, TV's "Six
Million Dollar M a n , " Steve Austin.
Although " h a l l ' of his body has
been replaced by prosthetic parts,
lie is not looked at that way by the
media, who judge him on his attractiveness," said Dr. .1. William
Block.
A videotape montage of Austin
in action was shown, Block explained, to demonstrate that the treatment of the disabled is " a question
of whether people think o f the
disabled in that way. A disability is
a physical or mental condition,
whereas a handicap is simply a
psychological weight put on the
backs of the disabled."
"Most
presentations o f the
disabled in the mass media arc
stereotypes," Block said. " I t is very
rare to sec a disabled person as
'average.' Instead, they arc cither
very bad or saintly."
Prejudice towards a disabled person is his [greatest obstacle towards
Hue equality in America, said Prof.
Harold Yukcr. "People that have
prejudice towards certain groups
have prejudice towards most other
people," Yukcr said.
Attempting to explain the causes
behind people's bias, Block maintained ill.II, "individual differences
ill attitudes towards disabled people
arc the result of past experience.
People learn their altitudes from
those around I hem and from the
mass media."
These misconceptions are laid
down early in life, according lo
Block, even by teachers who may be
scared of Ihc disabled because they
don'l believe lltey call cope with
them.
Poetising his a t t e n t i o n on
"telethons," Yukcr said thai they
"never emphasize the abilities of
ihc handicapped and disabled. The
main theme is money and all this
ends up c r e a t i n g
negative
attitudes."
Many people do nol know how 10
behave with disabled people and arc
uncomfortable which creates problems, Ihc professors believe. "This
iineoml'orlablciicss
leads l o
avoidance," Block explained. " T o
find Pitt what Ihc disabled person
wants, look for visual clues or just
ask," he said.
Employer altitudes also need 10
he changed. " A lack of Information
is the reason for mosi employers'
refusal to hire I lie disabled. They
make the inisiake, as most oilier
people do, of associating attractiveness with competency. If they
had disabled employees before,
ihey are likely lo have a much more
positive altitude."
Bui ihc future looks bright lor
ihc disabled, according 10 Block
and Yukcr. " I l has been proven
thai Ihc disabled perform equal lo
or belter than their able-bodied coworkers in lerms of productivity,
sal'eiy, attendance and lurnover
rale, ihey said. The dramatic labor
shortage forecast I'ot the near
future In America will show thai il
doesn't make sense lo turn away
good workers."

Fame. It Is the story of a young
' girl who works as welder by day and a
3 dancer by night. Her goal Is to become part
of a real dance company although she has
had no formal training. Just to keep things
Interesting there Is a wonderful little love
story too,
Megan Gray Taylor
The star of this movie Is Jennifer Beals
who plays Alex Owens dancer/welder extradlnalre. Beals, a freshman at Yale, was
discovered for this film and I suspect after
this performance she will become a
household name. Not only does she have
poise, sincerity and genuine compaslon
that comes right off the screen, but she Is
also an amazing dancer.
Mawby's Bar where most of the dance
sequences take place Is a strange little club
that hosts out of the ordinary dance
routines by some exceptional dancers. The
dancers Include Cynthia Rhodes as Tina
Tech (she does a fantastic Interpretation of
"Manhunt" by Karen Kamon), Durga
McBroom as Heels, Stacy Plckren as
Margo and Liz Sagal as Sunny. The
routines are equal to the best video of any
song on MTV. All this previously unknown
talent, suddenly appearing in this film has
to remind you of Fame.
There Is another reason Fame may come
to mind and that Is that the theme song
"Flashdance-What A l-'eellng" (which Is
getting alol of popular air play these days)
is performed by Irene Cara (who also wrote
the lyrics with Keith Forsey). The soundtrack Is a major (actor In this movies success. It Includes such hits as "Gloria", "I
Love Rock 'N' Roll", "Romeo" and Kim
Carries' "I'll Be Here Where The Heart Is".
This movie has a lot of assets not the
least of which Is Michael Nourl as Nick
Hurley, the love Interest. Some of you may
remember him from the days when he was
a soap opera heart-throb (I believe it was
on Love of Life). K you don't you will certally remember him after this appearance.
He Is the rugged, sensitive hero who is not
only good-looking but a good actor too.
He Is totally believable as the tough kid
|f who made il bio, and has achelved a refine-
Requiem For A Rock Group
ment that allows him to be sensitive and
strong.
There rest of the cast which Includes
Alex's best friend Jeannle (Sunny
Johnson) and her stand-up comic/cook
boyfriend Richie (Kyle T. He(fner) are also
excellent. Jeannle as the waitress who
dreams of being in an Ice show is another
of these super talented actresses who not
only can act but In this case she Is an excellent skater. The owner of Mawby's Is
Jake (Ron Karabatsos) and he Is the quentlsential overweight Pittsburgh barkeep with
a down-to-earth crudeness that Just barely
covers an enormous heart.
There Is one other character In this film
that deserves special recognition. That Is
Jumbo Red who plays Grunt. Who you
may ask Is Grunt? Well he Is Alex's faithful
(albeit Incredibly ugly) dog. BenJI doesn't
have a prayer when this guy Is done
wledellng his way Into your heart.
The film was written by Tom Hedley and
Joe Eszterhas and directed by Adrian
Lyne. There is no superflous filler In this
film. Every line Is nedded, every action
motivated, and every scene tightly
directed. Film editors Bud Smith and Walt
Mulconery also deserve credit for the
smothness of this movie. There is mood,
too, to this film that Is facilitate by the
bleakness of Pittsburgh. This sense was
captured by photographer Don Pelerman.
This has been one of the hardest reviews
I've had to write all year because I liked this
film so much I'm not sure what lo say first.
Jennifer Beals Is one of the most beautiful,
talented discoveries In years. Michael Nourl
could rival Paul Newman If given the
chance. Every localllon shot, every set
design, every costume was perfect. But
more Importantly this film leaves you feeling so good you want to dance out of the
theatre. Alter a screening the other night I
happened to be In the ladles room. This I
what I heard from others: "That was such a
great movie," "I want to see It again right
now," "I want to see it twenty times."
F
or those who thought that 1979's
The Wall and Its subsequent motion picture were the ultimate —
and final — purges of Roger Waters' personal anxieties and remorses, behold The
Final Cat. Regrettably, Waters' Big Statement for 1983 Is with few exceptions, one
long and stagnant bitch.
Ben
Waters' father died in World War II at the
age of thirty-one, and Waters has never adjusted to the fact, Instead, he Is crushed by
feelings of personal guilt ("Was it me?/Dld
I watch too much TV?/ls that a hint of accusation in your eyes?") and despair for the
demise of a post-war society's naive aspirations ("What happened to the post-war
dream?/ oh Maggie/Maggie what have we
done?"). The result is a despairing production which hills itself .is "a requiem for the
post-war dream."

Nona began hei career In Labelle, a
group winch was both daringly theatrical
and politically provocative. They had ihe
hlppesl of audiences-heavy contlgents of
blacks, gays, and trendies of all denominations Labelle became the-first black pop
group to perform al New York's
Metropolitan Opera House. On the
strength of their hit, "Lady Marmalade,"
I'heir album Nightsbird went gold
Labelle dissolved in 1977. Nona felt that
as a writer for a consciousness raising
group, she was beginning to repeat herself.
She then based herself in New York City,
touring, writing and recording in Europe
and the States. She became a prominent
member of the New York club scene,
writing, recording and performing with
such diverse acts as Defunkt. David
Johansen, Garland Jeffries and Rough
Trade,
Nona became friendly with Jerry Harrison, the 1 eyboardisl in Talking Heads.
The friendship led to astounding performances w"h the Head's on their live
album. Tin Name of This Band Is Talking
Heads, anii on their Remain in Light project, which features some of rock's most innovative performers. Nona and Jerry continued to work together. He and Busta
Jones produced her European hit single, a
cover of the Supremes' "Itching In My
Heart," and In turn. Nona contributed
lyrics and vocal arrangements to Harrison's
solo debut. The Red and The Mack.
Nona kept very busy, and with the
Indian-J llspanlc guitarist Naux. she put
together the experimental rock band, /.exo
Cool, who played everything from atonal
|azz lo electronic Motown. She also con*
iiniied independent projects, scoring a
<l,nice floor hit with "Do What You Wanna
Do," recorded with Ihe Cage, an English
gi tup featuring Visage drummer Rusty
Egan She also had a minor hit with
"Rusting Out," her first studio colloboralion
with Material.
Nona has continued working with the
funk it•// unit Material. Both she and they
co produced her solo album. Their
resulting effort is a powerful, richly textured
LP. with many of the songs dealing with
tlie power, elusiveness and constant
changes of love. "Transformation." says
Hendryx, is abou! "inevitable oscillation,
how we're constantly swinging back and
forth between poles In every area of life."
The spell-binding "Dummy Up" suggests
"llou quickly people change partners in
our modern nightlife." Nona's most overtly
political statement. "Living On The
Border" denounces the dominance of
fashion in contemporary life. And "Keep It
Confidential," a perfectly crafted dancerock number keeps the beat by flirting between funk and country rhthyms.
At once elegant and streetwise. Nona
fully captures one of progressive pop
music's most enigmatic personalities. It is
an artisitic expression first, as it seems that
for now Nona Is through with being a
spokesperson. "1 don't think of myself as a
female. I "don't think of myself as a black
female, and I don't think of myself as a rock
artist," Nona Insists. "I'm not afraid to
touch something because it's not supposed
to be of my ilk--in fact, makes me want to
do it more. I'm Interested in the new and
unlried, and I don't mind accepting the
consequences."

Nuclear reactions
T
he threat of nuclear war is a horrifying condition which has loomed over the lives of
citizens across the globe for several decades.
The advent of nuclear weapons alone has dictated the
course of history during the latter part of this century
to a very large degree. While never being unrelenting,
at times the threat has been most severe. Events such
as the Cuban Missile Crisis did little to case the tension enveloping a frightened world victimized by two
superpowers jostling for superiority. Two decades
later, with the possibility of nuclear destruction ever
increasing, a more realistic and mature attitude in
handling the issue of nuclear war would be expected.
Unfortunately, despite the groundswell of protest
from every corner of the planet, the threat continues.
During the last decade, it appeared that perhaps the
leaders of the United States and USSR had come to
grips with the problem and would try to deal with it
in an effective manner, as evidenced by the SALT I
agreement and the policy of detente. But more
recently, under the thrust of the present administration, the threat of nuclear war has again come to the
fore.
The Reagan administration, with Russophobia being the only thread of consistency in an otherwise
confusing foreign policy, has plunged this nation into
the throes of a neo-Cold War. The confirmation of
Kenneth Adclman, an advocate of the abolishment
of arms control, as Director of the Arms Control and
Disarmament Agency, indicates the Reagan stance
on this critical issue. The president's continuing
rhetorical battle with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov
and his request for a fanciful nuclear missile deterrent system which will fire the arms race into Low
Earth Orbit, illustrates his disregard for control and
his insistance on superiority at any cost.
L
Though the administration employs complicated
logic to support its position on the nuclear threat, the
basic facts are clear. Nuclear war means destruction,
annihilation and perhaps global extinction. This
message has been clear to all those whose lives are in
jeopardy.
After 35 years of dormancy, the peoples of the
world have finally risen to take their survival into
their won hands rather than blindly trusting distant
leaders. Never before has the world witnessed such a
universal outcry for nuclear control. Over the Easier
holiday, thousands of Europeans staged die-ins to
send their message to world leaders.
Zionism isn't racism
To The Editor:
Through lack of knowledge, distortion, and equivocation, Mohammed Kayed attempted to equate Zionism
with racism.
To Mr. Kayed I pose the following questions: Why is it
right for every major religion and ethnic group to have nations in which their cultures dominate, and not for the Jew?
Why should the only Jewish state in the world be turned into a non-sectarian state when no such state exists in the
Moslem dominated sections of the world? Why are Jews
not entitled to a small speck of land only several miles wide
when Moslems control such a vast area on two continents?
Why do you address yourself only to inequalities among
Arab Jews and other Israelis when such great differences
exists among the various Moslem sects which has led to
discrimination and bloodshed? Why is Israel the main concern of Arab student groups on campus when there is, and
has been, terrible fighting between Iran and Iraq, Syria and
Jordan, Egypt and Libya, North Yemen and South Yemen,
etc? Why do you continue to blame the massacre of Palestinians committed by other Arabs on Begin, yet no blame for
(he massacre of thousands of Moslems in India has been
put on Indira Ghandl, nor has this been made a major
issue? Why do you use a U.N. General Assembly resolution
in support of your evidence, knowing that the judges,
witnesses, and prosecutors of Israel have included such
notables as Amin, Khomcni, Quadaffi, and slews of dictators from around the world who demand Israel give rights
that they do not grant their own people?
How can you distinguish between Judiasm and Zionism
without having read the Hebrew Prayer Books and Bible?
Why did you not name a few of "the many distinguished
Jewish leaders and writers" to whom you referred that opposed Zionism, or are they just a few leaders and writers
thai happen to be Jewish by birth only? How arc Jews and
Arabs to coexist with equal rights if Arabs can't do this
amongst themselves? What is Ihe "Zionist propoganda
machine" — it sounds like Hitler's "world Jewish conspiracy?" Why in proposing a secular state, in which all are
equal, do you list Jews last (the rest of the world always
seem to consider Jews last too)?
Why is the privilege of return "racist" for a people who
have suffered so much, when in this country programs to
correct the wrongs of the past arc known as equal opportunity. Why is Jewish self-determination called "racism"
and Palestinian self-determination called "human rights."
If you, Mr. Kayed, can honestly answer these questions
and are sincere about eliminating racism from the world,
then you should first re-examine your own views, and those
held by some of your Moslem brothers, before judging
others.
-Marvin S. Iluuin
We share that message. In o u r inserted parody
issue, we have attempted to use humor in
highlighting what could be the result of a world
ravaged by nuclear war. Our parody issue is meant lo
be funny, but the world issue is not. We urge a
serious and realistic approach to arms control so thai
the conditions depicted in the parody may never
come to be.
Symptoms of Apartheid
At the beginning and end of every day since Sharpcvillc,
there arc news reports about sabotage attacks against the
Boer regime of South Africa. These acts are aimed at
government strategic installations from the network of
power stations to so-called public facilities and transportation systems.
JaphetM.Zwana
The 1975 Official yearbook of the 'Republic of South
Africa' tarries the following statement under the section on
Tourism: "The tourist industry, as presently organized, is
comparatively young, but it has already made its mark.
Foreign tourists visiting South Africa totalled 610,170 in
1973 and it's estimated that they spent approximately 250
million in foreign exchange while I hey were here. It is expected that by 1980 one million tourists will visit the
Republic of South Africa annually." Against this glossy
background, however, is the fact that the industry has been
ailing visibly for a long time. More gun towers have been
established not only along the fenced perimeters of statcgic
structures but also along runways of civilian airports and
railway stations. Significantly, two of Johannesburg's
popular tourist vantage high points, the 882-foot Strydom
Tower and its slightly lower counterpart in Brixton, have
recently been closed to population traffic.
Road blocks and body searching arc a daily feature along
the main thoroughfares leading to Soweto. The "national
key points" is a recent legislation purporting to protect sensitively strategic installations of all sorts. Under this
measure, even private companies arc now required to form
employee vigilante squads to defend their plants against impending attacks.
Authorities of the regime are empowered to detain/arrcsl/ban any person or group that might jeopardize the
continuity of the country's white supremacist apartheid
slave rule.
All this is the fruit of the black intense determination to
derail the entire system of legally entrenched white domination.
•
The total rejection is reaching a crescendo at a time when
the Afrikaners arc busy trying to deceive the outside world
into believing that limited reform efforts arc being made.
The following catalog of events and statements is a
significant revelation of the mood of the South African
Blacks:
Whole communities, families and individuals facing forced eviction under the nation's harsh racial population
relocation scheme have openly threatened to use violence to
forestall the plan. Recently, an African township near Port
Elizabeth has been promised demolition. The local
Anglican priest was heard to say, "If they try to move us by
force, there will be bloodshed."
Leading church leaders, including Bishop Desmond Tutu
the President of the South African Council of Churches,
arc calling for the outright excommunication of those who
practice apartheid.
Old men in their late fifties and early sixties have been
turned back from enlisting in the liberation forces that do
battle with the regime,
Two years ago partial legalization of Black unions was
grudgingly granted. Since then more African workers have
openly espoused political causes and have inflicted upon
the mineral-rich nation's booming economy the longest and
costliest period of industrial disruption and havoc.
Non-white groups (Blacks, Asians and Colorcds) have
become more militant, better organized and united against
the common enemy.
In May the so-called republic's 20th anniversary happened to occur at the same time as the fifth anniversary of the
1976 Soweto uprisings. The regime was embarrassed when
millions demonstrated and called for the boycott of the
Republic Day activities.
At a time when the regime and the educational
authorities least expected it, a concerted campaign ol
disruption of schools and colleges by students, teachers ami
parents, unheard of in 20 years of Nationalist Party administration, has taken place.
The scope of change that has taken place is echoed in the
statement attributed to Winnie Mandela, wife of Robin II
and Prison perpetual inmate, Nelson Mandela. While shopping with the masses in Brandfort, after her release from a
four-year detention she said, "The Afrikaner here knows
no other black except that subservient Kaffir (a term
equivalent to "nigger") at the back of his castle. That little
Bantu boy who tills his farms, brings up his children, looks
after his cattle and sheep. Now, these Bantus have suddenly
gotten cheeky, and the white farmers can't get their cheap
labor. These Bantus who worked for one rand (about 74
cents) a week, sudddenly want five rand."
There is very little doubt that in the face of continued intransigence on the part of whites in South Africa, nonviolence will suddenly cease to be regarded as a noble option.

Nothing is free
: To The Editor:
We have to let the students know about what has been
happening at Le Fat Cat, the disco located at the corner of
j Quail and Central. This past Wednesday there was a special
i Midweek Madness night with (and we quote) "Free T-shirts
j for all." After being told the shirts would be given out at
eleven, then twelve; finally at one aim. they admitted to not
having any shirts, never did and never would! We had paid
our admission to have a T-shirt and got nothing from it, except thrown out for asking about the shirts too many times.
The manager had already left, and credit was blamed on
Timeout Productions, the sponsors of the party. If no
T-shirts were to be given out they certainly knew before we
paid to get in and they outwardly lied to us.
This week there may be another special on and we urge

To The Editor:
In this reader's opinion, the ASP's coverage of the Student Association elections this year was poor.
Not only did you continue your endorsement policy of
years past, but you continued to sensationalize the candidates and their campaigns after the elections were over. I
am, obviously, referring to the article in the ASP of Friday,
April 15: "Missing ASP's could be lied to endorsements."
You were, 1 think, loo quick to get a story; no one closely
associated with Rob Fishkin's campaign would ever have
stolen and disposed of several hundred ASP's — particularly not Michelle Lcgcndrc. Thclr's was an extremely well
run, close-knit, and internally communicative campaign
staff. The confiscation of the only University newspaper on
campus would be political suicide to anyone of campaign
strategy knowledge. Nol only did Ihe ASP of April 12 conlain iwo major (and expensive) advertisements for Flshkin,
but it also contained a very weak endorsement of Jeff
Schneider. It was not particularly damaging to Flshkin.
Anyone who bothered to read even the opening sentence of
the Flshkin profile was aware of this fact. Although the
Fishkin campaign people were undoubtedly upset over not
receiving the endorsmenl, none of them would have been
even momentarily stupid enough to condone such actions
as stealing.
Michelle Lcgcndre was a major coordinator in Rob
Fishkin's campaign. I have lived and worked with her closely for a year, although not on Ihe campaign. Personally, I
do nol believe she could do such a thing. One final point:
obviously, someone was lying. It therefore logically follows
that there must have been a motive of some sort. Thomas
Allen, "of Alumni Quad," and the man who brought the
story to you, lives immediately next door to Miss Legendre.
There have been antagonistic feelings between them for
longer than Rob Fishkin was a candidate: a fact not mentioned in the article.
Your's was an irresponsible move. Perhaps the story
should have been better researched. Granted, ASPs may
have been expropriated, but not by an upper member of the
Fishkin staff, and certainly nol by Michelle Legendre.
Faulty Premises
To the Editor:
The title of Friday. April 15th's editorial was "The Uncredible Election." Admittedly, the conduct of some candidates and people acting on their behalf left much to be
desired. However, the implication thai the Spring 1983
Election lacks credibility is ludicrous. First I would like to
point out a few things the author seems lo have overlooked.
I) The bi-eleciions were not postponed due to a lack of
communication among election officials. Elections officials
were never informed of election lime revisions. It is impossible lo deliberately implement procedures you have no
knowledge of.

2) The author refers to confusion in the counting procedure as the causal clement in the invalidation of Alumni
Board Elections. This Is just not true, and I would like to
point out that neither I nor any other member of the commission ever spoke with an ASP representative about this
invalidation. Twenty-eight ballots for this election were
mistakenly given to ineligible voters. All cast ballots were
counted lo determine if the margin of victory exceeded the
number of illegal ballots cast. If it did, the election would
not have to be voided and rehcld. Unfortunately the margin
was inadequate. The commission Invalidated the election.
3) Misprogramming of polling booths is cited as the
reason for Ihe Off-Campus Central Council Election's invalidation. If the ASP ever had truly researched the matter
thoroughly, it would have found out that there is but one
polling booth used for this race. I do accept full responsibility for Ihe misprogramming of this one booth. The
reason I bring up this point is that it is just another reflection of the general carelessness the ASP has exhibited in
covering these events. Ann Marie LaPorta is quoted on
Page 1 by Steve Fox on the result of the machine's
misprogramming. Although Ann Marie is to be praised for
her willingness to provide information, she is really not the
source to quote on the dynamics of the machine. In this instance us well, neither I nor any member of the Election
Commission were ever called upon by any ASP reprcsenuillsc for information concerning this matter. Corroboration of l.al'ona's statement wus never sought. Her statement hud no foundation in fact.
I imagine ii is these faulty premises thai arc used to arrive
at the conclusion thai this election lacked credibility. In the
editorial the terms "inane proceedings," "l'arcc"und "apparent fiasco" are used lo describe the election. Of all Ihe
unmitigated gull! I low dare the ASP challenge the essential
integrity of the commission's efforts?! Constructive
criticism is welcomed, but when Ihe ASP publicly criticizes
a group's efforts without the slightest conception of what
the group's obligations truly entail, then a loss of respectability is inevitable.
Members of the Election Commission arc full-time
students, Above all else, wc arc here for a sound education,
Much lime and effort was pui into this election by quite a
number of people. As a result, there was an increased voter
turnout of over 20 percent, Mosi of the voting took place
during dinner hours, which were slushed 33 percent. Due lo
these circumstances, voters often waited over 15 minutes to
enter the machine lo vole. They are to be praised for their
patience.
Speaking of percentages, statistics are fascinating and
can impurt much Information, A total of 35 elections were
programmed into the election machines (five elections per
machines x seven machines), One misprogramming occurred. That's an accuracy rale of 97.15 percent. Otil of approximately 5,2()0 paper bailors distributed mid cast, 28
were mistakenly given lo ineligible voters. (Ineviiubly some
people will become disillusioned and realize that human beings are going lo make mistakes. That's why pencils have
erasers.)
Another illuminating statistic: There were u total of 27
individual contests held (Pres., Vice-Pres., SASU
Delegates, University Council, six Referenda, six University
Senlule, six Central Council, five Class Council). Two were
voided due lo irregularities. That constitutes an accuracy
rate of 92.6 percent. I do not wain to belabor this point.
What I'm trying lo indicate is that, us with any large enterprise, a point is reached past which you will experience
diminishing returns lo scale. When the magnitude of this
election is taken into account, a far belter estimation ofthe
true effectiveness of the Election Commission is realized.
Even with the implementation of any grading revision, the
Commission has earned an " A " grade.
Now I must question the fundamental reasoning the ASP
has been demonstrating. I find particularly notewonhy the
editorial's sentence, "It's revolting to think thai fellow
students are trying to determine what is lv-i lor you."
Questions immediately come to mind.
1) Does ihe ASP Endorsement Boaii
•n-.ist of any
"fellow students"?
2) Does an endorsement constitute a determination of
"what is best for you"?
With respect to your endorsements, ihui statement reeks of
hypocrisy. Think about it.
This brings me to perhaps the mosi significant and deeply
disturbing point that must be made: Did ihe same diligence
and attention to detail that went into ASP coverage of the
election proceedings go into Ihe endorsements? If so, then
the ASP has done a major disservice to the student body.

rant the Shakers' request to halt
onstruction o f the ballpark. One
before the hearing, the agreeent between the town of Colonle
I the A's authorizing the team to
se a new stadium was postponed,
he team's general manager, Den
crnard, failed to show up for the
igning.
In the Interim, Ward has charged
at both the county and the town
: failed to fully examine " a l l o f
e environmental issues" surrounthc construction o f the
adium, and said he Is requesting
Environmental Impact Stateem (EIS) be made by both parties.
Ward argues that the entire area
ctween Albany Airport and Ann
ee Pond is Ihe site o f the first
haker settlement In the country,
'c also says the cemetery has been
designated as a national historic
landmark in the National Register.
County Executive James Coyne
has insisted that all the issues were
examined, and that is why the county went ahead with the signing o f
the agreement with the AlbanyColonie A ' s . In a recent article in
the Albany Times-Union,
Coyne
said, " I could understand it (the
Shaker lawsuit) if we were moving
the cemetery or bulldozing i t . "
Coyne said he is optimislic about
the outcome o f the lawsuit, while
Ward offered he is only "guardedly
optimistic."
Sources say the town o f Colonic
made only " a cursory review of environmental issues" at the stadiumcemetery site, and that It was a
"crazy decision" to begin construction so soon.
The decision of whether or not to
halt construction will be reached
some time later this week, following
Ihe environmental study.

U.S. Embassy blasted in Beirut, Lebanon
•^Front Page
States is mediating talks aimed at
getting Israeli, Syrian, and Palestinian forces out of Lebanon.
Special U.S. envoys Philip C.
Tiabib and Morris Draper were in
the presidential palace five miles
away at the time o f the explosion,
but Draper's wife was visiting the
embassy and he raced back to the
compound to search for her. A
U.S. Marine said she was taken lo a
hospital with cuts on the temple.
The bombing was the worst attack against a U.S. target in
Lebanon, and a pro-Iranian terrorist group, Moslem Holy War,
claimed responsibility, telling the
newspaper A l Liwa, " T h i s is part o f
the Iranian revolution's campaign
against
imperialist
targets
throughout the world. We shall
keep striking at any imperialist
presence in Lebanon, including the
multinational f o r c e . " Moslem Holy
War has claimed several previous
attacks on the multinational force.
President Reagan denounced the
bombing Monday as " a cowardly
a c t , " and pledged that it will not
deter the United Slates from pursuing peace in the Middle East.
Reagan said it was apparent that
some Americans were among the
casualties, " b u t we don't know yet
Ihe exact number or the extent o f
injury."

Employment outlook
Educators, public administrators
and mining employers predict weak
hiring plans for the second quarter
of this year. Southern and
Midwestern employers report the
highest number of job opportunities.
"The reason the Improvement
was so significant is that the last two
years were so terrible, " explained
Rogge-Anas. She said Manpower
conducts the survey quarterly as a
public service lo businesses and also
for the resulting publicity. The
results are "very valid," according
lo Rogge-Anas. "We don't release
what predictions came true but we
do have informal research which
supports our findings. Alter the
general findings of the labor department ure released we chart them
and make our predictions," she
said.
Director of Career Planning and
Placement John Alexander warned
students not lo pay too much attention to such surveys. "If a survey
says prospects are good, our
counsel is still the same — start early and use very bil of your energy
and mind to search for a job. It's
unrealistic to look at a survey if you
don't know what it is to look lor a
job," said Alexander. "You're going to fall on your race," Alexander
stressed that job search is a lifelong
process, "first jobs last under three
years. You're going to he doing job
search you whole life. People have
to actively plan and manage
themselves.

With the weather continuing to
raise havoc with the Albany Stale
Great Dane baseball team's
schedule, the junior varsity team is
supplying the only version of the
national pastllme.
The J.V. Danes take their l-l
record on the road against Schenectady Community College. The j . v .
squad lost their season opener to
highly regarded Hudson Valley
Community College I.1-0. Albany
bounced back to even their record
by defeating the College o f Saint
Rose on University Held by the
score of 4-2.
The varsity team has only played
three o f a scheduled 11 games anil
t o m o r r o w ' s double-header with
llinghamton has been called o i l
because the field conditions tit
University Field are unplayable.
Doth varsily coaches Dave llaighi
and Kevin Karwath as well as j . v .
coach Kick Marcclla were attempting to remove the puddles from the
muddy rain and snow soaked field
yesterday afternoon.
The Danes have not been able to
play a single home game this season
because of weather and field conditions. Single games against Hartwick, St. Lawrence and Union as
well as doublehcaders with Cortland and Blnghamton have been
postponed.
The J.V. Danes have played two
of six scheduled games and except
for the first three innings against
Hudson Valley, they have provided
Marcclla with some solid baseball.
In the opener, Hudson Valley
scored all itl o f their runs in the first
three innings. The Albany defense
was porous, according to Maicclla.
" A n d thai is being polite," he added.
Pitcher and team captain H.J.
Kcane was the victim of the Albany
mlscucs being charged for all the
inns, only five of litem earned. " I
thought he pitched a decent game,
lie threw five uroundbnlls ilint
should huvc gotlcn him out of the
first and second innings, Inn he gol
no support at all from his defense,"
Marcclla commented.
Bob Tobias pitched the final four
innings against Hudson Valley and
shut them out.
Albany began their home opener
with St. Rose playing the same type
of baseball that got them in trouble
with Hudson Valley. They made
four errors in the first inning to
allow St. Rose to score their only
iwo runs of lite game. The Albany
bats which had been non-exisieni in
the opening game of the season
began to wake up and the Danes
scored lour runs to win the game.
Catcher led Dicks had an Kill double and second baseman Joe I'iconc
had l u o singles and an Kill to lead
the Danes.
" I think our hitting will come
around. Our defense is ihe big question m a r k , " Marcclla explained as
he filled buckets with wnlei in an attempt lo drain the Infield tit Unlvcrsiiy Held. " W e base a pretty solid
pllchlllg stall il our defense can jus!
keep them in Ihe game."

The first question Is whclhcr or not the I.akers can
repeal as champions, n real that has nol occurred since the
last playing days o f BUI Russell In I969. Pal Riley's team
certainly has enough laleiil lo repeal, but last week's Injury l o James Worthy has put a gaping hole In the Laker
picture. Since Worthy's leg was broken, the Lakers have
given Billy Ray Bates a 10-day Iryoul, cut him, picked up
Steve' M i x , cut Eddie Jordan, and activated Bob
McAdoo, who is out o f action for al least three more
weeks. He will probably play If Ihe Lakers advance lo the
Weslcin Conference finals. The queslion is: will they?
The Philadelphia 76cts played the first two-thirds of
Ibis season us If they were playing for iheir very lives.
Then ihcy realized ihcy didn't have l o go all o u l , and
couslcd home the lasi five or six weeks, can ihcy turn il on
like a failed when ihcy start play i n a week or so? Is
Moses Malone's troubled knee bud, or was he jusl resting
lasi week? Will the 76crs ever win a championship under
Billy Cunningham? Regardless o f all Ihe conjecture and
rumor, the 76crs must be considered Ihe favorites, bin
that's a familiar story,
Boston's Celtics were rumored l o have a lot o f dissension Ibis pasl season, and Iheir second half record was
very un-Ccltlc. Larry Bird has been truly sensational this
season, but his supporting cast has not been, l l has also
been rumored lhai Bill Tltch's Job is in jeopardy, and that
Georgia's Hugh Durham will take over next year. It is
ironic that Tltch's Celtics will mccl Dominique Wilkens
and Ihe Atlanta Hawks in the first round, for Wilkens wus
Durham's best player al Georgia.
Anything Involving Larry Brown is always a question
mark, so the New Jersey Nels arc definitely ail enigma.
Can Bill Blair pull Ihe team together In lime to defeat
Huble Brown's Knicks? Why are ihe 76ers rooting so hard
for the Knicks? Because Ihcy have serious trouble matching up with Ihe Nets, while Ihcy tend to pummel the
Knicks. When n coach bolts a club, a la Chuck Fairbanks
and Ray Perkins, it very seldom has a positive effect on a
team, and Larry Brown's departure has been so bizarre
that It has to have an adverse effect. Take Ihe Knicks t o
upset the Nets and then fall to the Sixers,
If the Celtics dcfcnl Atlanta, and Ihcy really should,
Ihcy would mccl the Milwaukee Bucks, a learn modeled
after Ihe Celtics by iheir coaches, former Celtics Don
Nelson and John Kllleleu, The Bucks base gambled more
Ihan any other NBA team when Ihcy nailed point guard
Qiiiiin lluckner for retiree DavcCowcns, in hope lhat the

Bucks, l i e has done anything but. Milwaukee bus used 27
different players and 20 different sinning lineups. A irade
for Phil Ford was a Hop, bill now Paul Prcssey is sianing,
so maybe all ihe confusion will result in sonic poise for ihe
Ducks: look for Don Nelson's club lo pull ihe upset and
reach Ihe NBA finals.
If the Lakers can'l win ihe West, who will? San A n tonio's Spurs have been a fine club since Ihcy joined the
N B A , but they've always fallen shorl in ihe spring. This
year, though, the Spurs have Iheir best club ever, with Ihe

When a Softball team has jusl won its

doublehcader against Pace. The Danes were
looking lo extend their four game winning
streak as Ihey gear for this weekend's Albany
Invitational, to be held this Friday and Saturday on University Field,
Albany's latest win came at the expense of
Union College last Thursday at ihe Dutchmen's home field in Schenectady. It was a
9-1 Great Dane rout, with Wendy Williams
providing Ihe pitching heroics and Carol
Wallace and Tracy Kirk supplying the offensive punch,
Williams pitched Ihe entire seven innings,
surrendering jusl one run on two hits. She
also recorded five strikeouts, and did not
walk a batter.
Catcher Nancy HaHoran led off the game
with a walk and stole second, and she scored
on Kirk's RBI groundout. Wallace Ihcn
cracked a Iwo-out solo homerun, giving the
Danes an early 2-0 lead.
Albany scored twice more in the third,
HaHoran again got the Danes going, leading
off with a single and stealing her second base

four times.
All Ihe runs' came with two men out.

issfK IAII.
AT THE STATF
ED MARUSSICH UPS
First baseman Chris Cannata Is batting .368 lor the 4-2 Albany State women's
softball team. Albany faces RPI In a doubleheader today.
The Danes upped their record lo 4-2 by virtue of ihe win. Head coach Lee Rhenish is
happy with her team's turnaround after
dropping their first two games, bin hopes her
team doesn't Icl up, as the Slalc Playoffs are
just around the corner.
"Wc can't get complacent," she said.
'This weekend is a must weekend for us
because we have lo realize that wc must be
ready for the States. We've got to get serious
about what we should do. There arc no
games left on our schedule that wc shouldn't
win."
Through the first six games there have
been a number of key contributors to
Albany's success. Wallace, the cleanup hitter, is hitting a blistering .476. She also leads
the team with eight runs scored and seven
RBIs. Leadoff batter HaHoran is hitting .389
and Iter on-base percentage is a very solid
.560. She has scored seven runs and has ignited several big innings. Williams is hitting
.417 in her 12 plate appearances, while Cannata is presently swinging at a .368 clip. Left
fielder and third place hitter Kirk is batting
.333 with six RBIs and four runs scored.
Rhenish expressed some concern about her
team's lack of depth offensively.
"The first four hitters (HaHoran, Cannata,
Kirk and Wallace) have been carrying the
load for us. I wish wc had some more depth
for the designated hitler. But I think some of
our lack of hitting is mental. Wc just have to
have the desire to swing the bat and relax at
the plate."
Williams' pitching has also been a major
factor so far, as she has been simply overpowering in most of her starts and has done a
fine job in relief as well. The freshman sensation has pitched 31 innings, allowing only IS
hits, 12 walks, and 16 runs, with six of them
being earned. She has 18 strikeouts and a
1.35 ERA. "She's been absolutely great,"
Rhenish noted.
Albany's other freshman pitcher, Andrea
Picconc, has shown marked improvement in
the later innings of her two starts. In her 11
Innings, she has allowed 11 hits, 16 walks,
and six earned runs for a respectable 3.82
ERA. She has helped provide Albany with
some depth at a key position, and her success
in the ensuing games could be an integral part
of Albany's stretch drive.
This afternoon Albany hosts RPI in a
doublehcader beginning at 2:00 in their last
lest before this weekend's big matchups.
Albany will open the Invitational on Friday
at 3:30 against Binghamton. They will then
take on Stony Brook at 10:00 on Saturday,
followed by a 1:00 meeting with SUNY Buffalo. Coach Rhenish summed up Albany's
feelings about the Invitational, which is won
by the team with the best overall record in the
three games, with run differential used as a
tiebreaker.
"Last year we lost by one run, and you
better believe we're determined nol lo let thai
happen again."
Netmen hang on for thrilling win at Middlebury

STAR: UNHID
DAVE RIVERA UPS
Barry Levlne suffered a three-set defeat against Middlebury on Saturday, but the
men's tennis team came out on top In a thrilling meet.
When four and a half hours of hard fought
and nailbiting tennis had been completed in
Ihe most lengthy meet for the Danes in 10
years, the Albany Stale Men's tennis leant
found themselves on top once again,
defeating Middlebury College; 5-4, surviving
the biggest scare of the season up to dale.
The meet, played litis past Saturday at
' Middlcbury's indoor facility, extended the
Dane winning record lo 6-1.
A total of 240 games were played in all,
with six out of the nine matches going three
sets.
"I'm pleased we won," said coach Bob
Lewis, "but I don't think it should've been
litis closet We beat them 7-2 lasl spring and I
really feel that Ihey (Middlebury) aren't as
strung as last year."
First singles Barry Lcvine and fifth singles
Lawrence Lichen continued their slump as
both players dropped their third straight
match.
Lcvine was outclassed by Fain Hackney in
three sets, 6-2, 2-6, 6-1.
"There's alot of pressure on Lcvine," said
Lewis. "The problem is thai at first singles,
unless he is at his best all Ihe lime, it's lough
for him to win consistently, because the competition is so fierce."
For Lichen it was a different story. His 4-6,
6-3 1-6 loss lo Dave Revclle infuriated Lewis,
"He's just not playing intelligently. He's losing lo people thai he's belter than. His pluy
has got me perplexed."
On the oilier side of the spectrum, number
six singles Dave Lcrncr continued his winning
ways. After a slow first sol (4-6), Lerner came
roaring back, sweeping the next two by
scores of 6-1, 6-2.
Dave Ulrich won his match tit second
singles 6-3, 7-6, as did captain Lied Ciabcr
(6-0, 6-7, 7-5).
Fourth singles Rob Karen had no trouble
with Middlcbury's Andy Chcna, 6-4, 6-3.
In Ihe doubles slots, the Danes lost Iwo out
of three. But it was the third doubles combination of Ulrich and freshman Dave
Grossman, making his first slarl of the spring, who clinched the meet for the Danes.
Willi the matches at 4-3 in Albany's favor,
Ulrich-Grossman were able lo bounce back
from a second set letdown and lake the
match 7-6, 3-6, 6-3.
First doubles Lcvine and Giiber and second
doubles Lichen-I.erncr both suffered straight
set defeats.
"Although we're winning, we're not as
sharp as we were when we played the South
during Easier," concluded Lewis. "Up
North we've been very fortunate to win a lot
of our matches,"
When Captain Fred Gabcr was told of the
coaches remarks he responded, "I think the
coach has a good point because I don't think
we're playing up to our capabilities. We
should've beat Middlebury by more than
5-4, but you've got to consider thai twothirds of the team are seniors and Ihey have a
lol on their minds such as getting their lives
settled for next year. Meanwhile, we've been
still winning while nol playing up to our
potential. I think that shows alot about the
quality oT our club."
The 6-1 Danes will host their next match,
today against Union - pending the court conditions in the aftermath of the weekend snow
storm.

Four J.V. teams to be eliminated from program
By Marc Schwarz
SPORTS EDITON
Junior Varsity teams will be eliminated
from the intercollegiate athletic program
because of continuing pressures on budget
funds for the sports programs, according to
Vice President for University Affairs, Lewis
Welch.
The four teams are men's J.V. lacrosse,
men's J.V. soccer, men's J.V, baseball and
women's J.V. tennis.
"The decision was arrived at based upon
the fiscal reality as a driving force," Welch
said, "The precipitating elements in dropping the sports were cuts in temporary service
funds in those programs. Second, continued
pressures on regular funded positions forced
our hand."
The temporary scrive funds pay for the
coaches and come from Ihe stale budget. Included arc salaries and facility maintenance
which arc provided through the University.
All other costs, including equipment,
transportation, meals, lodging and first-aid
are paid by the Student Association, according to S.A. President Mike Corso,
A minimum of 85 students arc presently on
the rosier of the four teams being dropped,
recording to Ihe Director of Physical Education and Recreation William Moore.
Moore added that it has been a growing
trend among schools in the NCAA to drop
junior varsity programs. "In all divisions, I,
II and III, schools have been forced to cut
back their piograms because of monetary
considerations," he said.
The coaches of the varsity programs involved expressed concern over the loss of
their J.V. teams. "The kids arc the ones lhal
arc hurt. I have 30 kids on my J.V. Icam this
year," lacrosse head coach Mike Motta said.

that generate gale revenue arc football and
basketball. They will be Ihe only two teams lo
field junior varsily squads next year.
The decision to cut the four learns instead
of spreading the cut backs among the entire
athletic department is consistent with University policy on dealing with loss of funding,
according lo Welch.
" Wc faced Ihe choice there always is in any
kind of enterprise, whether to share the pain
broadly or to cut an entire segment of a program. Spreading Ihe cuts is not our view on
Ihe best way lo deal with thai type of sit union,' ' he said. "In our opinion that is the

A similar decision was made several years
tgo when the University faced with severe cut
sacks in funding shut down the Nursing
School, according to Welch. Instead of
weakening the entire system, a purl of the
base was eliminated, he explained.
No further cuts in Ihe athletic budget are
foreseen, according lo Moore. "We fell we
had reached the breaking point in terms of
funding and providing the essential services
and facilities for all the teams," he added.
"When the budget came out, a rationale
had to be drawn up according lo the amount
.if money wc had lo work will), and what
teams would be dropped first," Co-chairman
of the Athletic Finance Committee of S.A.
Bob Helbock commented. "S.A. had little lo
do with Ihe decision. Basically it wits the decision or the alhlctic committee and we went
along with it."
The S.A. budget for next year for the
athletic department is balanced and the savings from the loss of the jumior varsily
squads amounts to $5756, according to Lord.
The breakdown is $1558 Tor baseball, $1819
for lacrosse, $1707 for soccer and $672 for
tennis,
"Without any question the loss of the J.V.

Coach Dave Halghl said. "We won't be able
to keep as many people on the leant. Where it

Harvard's Hoffmann expounds nuclear theory
By Debbie Jiiilne
NeWS EDITOR
If the United States were to eliminate iis
own land-based continental missiles, Ihcn the
Soviet Union wouldn't have the incentive to
take them out in a nuclear strike.
This was the gist of one strategy discussed
WARREN STOUT UPS
Stanley Hoffmann
Would eliminate missiles.
jy Stanley Hoffmann, professor of government at Harvard and reknowncd political
theorist, at his afternoon talk yesterday in the
Campus Cenicr Assembly Hall. "The Soviet
missiles will be utterly wasted," Hoffmann
continued, if the U.S. dismantled its landbased missile system. "They will find they
don't need their arsenal. Suddenly there are
no targets." Then Hoffmann said, "we
wouldn't have to fear a first strike out of the
blue."
The Chairman of Ihe Center for European
Studies at Harvard, Hoffmann came to the
United States from Austria in 1955: the midlle aged, balding man still retains the European accent.
Hoffmann is a member of the Council on
Foricgn Relations as well, and the author of
several books on American foreign policy
und European politics, including Gulliver's
Troubles (1968), Decline or Renewal?(l974),
and Primacy or World Order! 1978). His forthcoming book Dead Ends, is a survey of
past and present American foreign policy.
One fairly consistent fear of American
policy makers in the nuclear age has been
that of a strategic first strike by the Soviet
Union. Such a strike would cripple present
U.S. nuclear forces before they could get off
the ground. This so called "window of
vulnerability" was one part of a two- fold
problem in American nuclear policy which
Hoffmann described. The second dealt with
the current issue surrounding deployment of
572 U.S. Pershing and cruise missiles in
Western Europe.
Having a "first-strike capability" is what
would give the Soviet Union political
leverage, Hoffmann explained. This situation
of missiles targeted at missiles, or counterforce targctling,' is extremely unstable, built
on an arsenal of "use them or lose them
weapons." It is a situation, Hoffmann
pointed out, that generates "an extraordinary Itch to strike first."
One solution, he said sarcastically, was the
idea of "missiles that circle around
mysteriously at night."
But he explained the United Slate's efforts
lo malch Soviet forces was a case "nol of
missile envy but of counter-silo envy."
Several times he drew from the Scowcraft
Committee report released lasl week, an investigation which looked into several options
regarding strategic deployment of the U.S.
nuclear arsenal, and which subsequently
recommended placing the missiles in
supcrhardened silos.
In looking at the question of U.S. missile
vulnerability, Hoffmann also passed to the
crowd the "latest fashion"as he described it,
in nuclear strategy — non-MIRVed U.S.
missiles.
The mx, which carries 10 nuclear warheads
per missile, is a recent example of a Ml R Veil
or Multiple Independently targeted Re-entry
Vehicle missile.
Reducing the number of warheads per
missile would create problems for the
Soviets, Hoffmann explained, who then
could no longer wipe out a number of nuclear
devices in one fell swoop, thus lessening Ihe
threat of a preemptive first strike.
And having multiple U.S. missiles targeted
at Soviet forces puts Ihe Russians in a tough
position. "The Soviets have three quarters
(of their nuclear forces) in the form of silling
ducks," he said, describing the Russian's
arsenal of land-based missiles.
"It's nol the world's most reassuring position to be in," Hoffmann said.
Recent negotiations, including the strategic
Arms Reduction talks and the recent Intermediate range nuclear force talks in
Geneva, arc nearly hopeless, said Hoffmann.
For his attack on START, Hoffmann
spared the details and said that "the U.S. put
forth a proposal to the Soviets which was
ludicrous," and not simply self-serving.
It is ludicrous, Hoffmann said, because it
"asks Soviets to dismantle by negotiation all
heavy missiles," while it "leaves us free lo
produce bombers, continental missiles, MX
and Trident too."
It is a proposition, Hoffmann said, which
requests the Soviets "give up what wc fear
while we go on with everything they fear."
Hoffmann was hardly optimistic regarding
the INF negotiations in Europe, either, which
include Reagan's abandoned "zero-option"
plan which was "already proven a failure."
In this regard, Hoffmann stressed that
U.S. strategists should not forget that the
Soviets loo are "political animals."
For one, he said "They know Mr. Reagan
is not Mr. Nixon." "And they know not only
Jon't they (the present administration) like
