' PUBLISHED SportsFViday ASSOCIArespoil rs EDITOR One thing is for sure: this weekend's Albany Invitational softball tournament will not begin today, as was originally scheduled. Other than that fact nothing else is certain. The tournament was supposed to get underway at 3:00 (his afternoon, with Albany hosting Dinghamton in Ihc Danes' opening game. However, the inclement weather has CD MARUSSICH UPS Left fielder Tracy Kirk will play a key role In the Danes' bid to capture the Albany Invitational. forced that situation to be abandoned. According to head coach Lee Rhenish, a number of other possibilities do still exist: • One alternative would be to postpone the games until tomorrow, with the hope that the weather holds out and the field slays in good enough condition to withstand an entire day's play. This could become a problem for the players as well, as each team is scheduled lo play three games. By having three games in one day there could be a problem with fatigue on Ihc pan of Ihc players, as they are more accustomed lo playing a maximum of two games in one day. Coach Rhenish discounted the possibility of making the tournament run from Saturday lo Sunday, as the weather forecast for Sunday "looks very bad." »• The second alternative involves cancelling the tournament and just playing cither one game or a doublehcadcr against Dinghamton tomorrow afternoon. Wilh Slony Urook and SUNY Buffalo being the other two learns il may be loo much of a risk for their squads lo make the long Irip from their respective schools without knowing for sure thai the games will nol be called off, "Wilh Ihc long trip from Stony Urook and Buffalo Iherc are a lol of complications. There's the hotel reservations, Ihc transportation, and Ihc money for food. We don'l want them to come all the way up here unless we're sure the field is all right," Rhenish said. f The final alternative would be lo cancel the whole weekend altogether, which Rhenish is Irying lo avoid til all costs. "We're Irying lo keep all llie possibilities open," she said. "Unfortunately, we may nol have a choice. This would be one of the most important events for our team this season, and il may all just go to waste." With Ihc softball field in unplayable condition for u good part of the past week, Rhenish lias been forced to bring her practices indoors onto the hard wood floors of University Gym. This area is more suited for John Dicckclman to be practicing his jump shot than it is for Rhenish to have her squad practice pitching and lulling. Obviously, some adjustments had lo be made. "We've been downstairs in Ihc hilling cage every day we've been inside," Rhenish said. "I'm Irying to gel Ihc girls to keep their eye on the ball and practice making good VOLUME contact. The main thing is just to stay loose and try lo relax." One of Ihc biggest disappointments suffered as a result of the snow was the postponement of four games.Thc leam was beginning to weather up a storm of Its own, as they had won their last four in a row and seemed to be peaking with the state playoffs only three weeks away. After dropping their opening two games the defending stale champions got back on track by winning in dramatic fashion againsl LcMoync in the second game of a doublcheader on April 9. Albany scored three runs in their last at-bal to win 7-6, as freshman Diane Fernandes provided Ihc heroics wilh a two-out game-winning triple. The comeback win seemed lo ignite the team, as Ihey proceeded to sweep a doublcheader from the Oncontn Red Dragons three days Inter. Freshman Wendy Williams was the slur of the first game, pitching a two-hil complete game as the Danes won 3-1. Albany completed Ihc sweep by taking the nightcap 6-1, as center fielder Carol Wallace had a single and a triple and Ihree runs baited in. Freshman Andrea Plcconc pitched five innings lo register her first win In an Albany uniform, giving up one run on live hits before gelling relief help from Williams in the final two innings. The Danes continued their hot play wilh a 9-1 thrashing of Union Inst Thursday. Williams pitched another two-hit complete game and left fielder Tracy Kirk had Ihree Rills, while Wallace helled a homcrun and a Iriple and raised her balling average lo a team-leading .476. It was al thai point that Mother Nature look over. Weather permitting, Albany will have a very busy schedule next week. Tuesday afternoon Ihey play a doublcheader al New Pali/., und Thursday Ihey will (ravel lo Russell Sage for another doublcheader. Rhenish's main worry al this point is her team's ability lo withstand llie inconvenience of playing indoors and nol competing in a game for eight days. "My main concern right now is the motivation of my players. I don'l want them lo lose their competitive edge," she said. If Albany can forget about Hie recent misfortunes and gel back lo playing the way they did before Ihc siorms hit, Rhenish will have nothing to worry about. fI playable.

Following W e d n e s d a y ' s spring snowstorm, the Danes arc scheduled lo finally open their home season againsl Capital District rival R.P.I., Tuesday. However thai game and others slated for next week arc in jeopardy. "I don't anticipate being able lo gel on the fields for al least a week," Director of Physical Plant Dennis Slevens said. "We need at least a week of sunshine and no rain before ihc field is playable." Even before Wednesday's snowfall, tomorrow's scheduled doublcheader wilh Colgate was in danger of being postponed. Both the infield and outfield were soaked and as late as Tuesday afternoon, there were large puddles located on the dirt part of the infield. Walking on the field was treacherous and Ihe bascpaths were suitable for mudbaths.

"The weather this spring has just been abominable." "I guess there isn't enough manpower to adequately prepare all the fields," Haighl said. "Maintaining a baseball field requires a lol of work. It's a big job. The guys themselves arc doing what I hey can. Bui il just doesn't seem to be gelling any belter." Another problem with ihc vursily field is lhal Iherc is an improper mixture of soil in Ihc infield, according to Director of Physical Education and Recreation William Moore. Moore added lhal a summer project to improve ihe baseball fields is in Ihc works. "It is our intention lo redo the varsily infield," Stevens said. "We will regrade the infield. This means wc will lake the existing infield oul and replace it wilh new layers of soil and clay al the proper mixtures." Another project to improve the playing conditions is Ihe reseeding of Ihc outfield grass. Il was done lasl year and will be repealed this year, according lo Slevens. The money for these projects lias come from the Repair and Rehabilitation Fund used for maintaining Ihe campus. Stevens feels a major contributor to the demise of Ihe baseball field has been the leagues thai make extensive use of Ihe SUNYA alhlelic fields during Ihe summer. "They show little responsibility when they use the fields," he said. "They play when Ihey arc still puddles in the infield and they outfield is soaked. Their spikes chew up the field Into a sea of mud and there is no time for us lo repair il. This makes it exceedingly difficult for us lo maintain Ihc field for our team's use." Stevens added that Ihc leagues will not be using Ihc varsily field Ihis summer while Ihc improvements arc being put in place.

She noted lhal Ihis rally was a forum for women lo express iheir anger over rape. There were several speakers at Ihe rally, along wilh Ihc protesters, One speaker, Fcmlnlsl Alliance member Alexandra Carter, slated, "We are nol safe on campus, on Ihe streets or In our homes.

There are blue lighl emergency phones located in nine or ten different locations, several are in perimeter parking lots, one is near the commissary, and one is near ihe Western Avenue entrance, according to Assistant Director of Public Safely John Hcnlghnn, Hcnlghan encouraged women lo walk with friends, adding Ihat, "There Is a student patrol on call every night to eseori women If Ihey can't walk with their friends, but il is rarely used."

The main objective of the conference was lo "provide a better understanding of the conflict in the area," said Acosla-Bclcn, co-chairman of SUNYA's Depanment of Puerto Rican, Latin American and Caribbean Studies (PRLACS). "There is a tendency lo see il as an East/West conflict between Ihe U.S. and Ihc Soviet Union," she said. "We wanted lo demonstrate lhal (here are historical and social reasons that have nothing to do with the Easl/West conflict. These problems existed prior lo the Russian Revolullon of 1917," explained Acosia-Belen. The conference also focused on Ihc diversily of the area and Ihe diversity of the area and its unique problems. Harvard University professor Orlando Patterson explained Ihat in recent years, il made sense lo view the Caribbean area as a single entity because of crucial economic, political and cultural problems. According lo Paltcrson, countries in Ihc Caribbean "face similar dilemmas and face Ihem in similar ways. They fail In similar ways and face failure in similar wuys. The basic idea of Ihe Caribbean is an emerging one." He added thai "at one time il (viewing area as one entity) made no sense, bul it is becoming increasingly meaningful, particularly now." Barry Levine of the Florida Intcriialional University, however, disagreed, "The Caribbean Is an urea of abun- dant variety. There is diversity in economic styles, political institutions, religious preferences, language and ethnic traditions, racial and immigrant origins, and cultural and artistic manifestations," "It is also an area of conflict and change," said Levine, "with border conflicts among neighboring slates, conflicting interpretations of the law of Ihe sea, and much domestic civil strife including coups, civil wars, and revolutions." These two views on the Caribbean are only part of (he dichotomy with which outsiders view the area, according mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm^mmmmmm "Reagan is seen as the hatchet-man. . . he has no real hope of defeating the revolution." — Susanne Jonas Labor and Economic Crisis Institute lo Edmundo Desnoes, a native of Cuba and author of Memories of Underdevelopment, who cited the two visions outsiders have of the Caribbean Basin. "The Caribbean is seen as Ihc place where Europe spends Ihe wlnler," explained Desnoes, "Natives and women are part of the landscape. While men wear plan lalion uniforms. Dressed all in while, he has iIn.- world of passion at his cull," Desnoes claimed. "He Is reason, und the Caribbean Is passion and Instinct," While the advertisers depict Ihe Caribbean as a tropical paradise, the news depicts the turmoil of the area, Desnoes said. To Illustrate his point, he displayed an issue of Newsweek mugazinc on the cover of which was a photograph of a man in an Salvadoran uniform with cap and dark glasses holding a rifle. The inside cover had an airline ad wilh a woman in "nalive" dress, and photographs of sunny beaches und pulm trees. This dichotomy, said Desnoes, has existed since Columbus discovered the urea and called it the West Indies. Naiives of the Caribbean have been alternately viewed as "noble savages" and cannibals. Each speaker focused his discussion on one urea each of Ihc Central American/Caribbean area, including Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Guatamala, Costa Rica, und Nicaragua. Though none of the speakers chose to focus on El Saluvador, it was referred lo in several of the talks. Another topic of discussion was U.S. Intervention in the area. Ncfiali Garicu, an advisor on Environmental Studies for Puerto Rico, discussed the Commonwealth's tic to the U.S. economy. Garcia contended, "the Puerto Rican model is bused on the importation of capital, technology, raw materials, and science. All of Ihis is wrapped wilh the ideology thai all good comes from outside, nothing good from inside." The emphasis, Garcia said, Is on industry rather than agriculture, as opposed to fifty years ago when il was the backbone of Ihc economy. Agriculture is now subsidized and used us u way of avoiding unemployment, he suid. The present economic crisis in Puerto Rico has grown out of the economic stagnation in ihe U.S., according to Gnrcia. Real salaries, he suid, decreased in the 197()'s to one-half what Ihey hud been in 1967. Unemployment, suid Garcia, jumped from 12 percent (considered critical by U.S. standards) lo 22 percent in 1976.

Shultz seeks accord STATEWIDE Cairo,' Egypt (AP) Secretary of State George P. Shultz said Monday he thinks he can win an agreement for withdrawal of foreign troops from Lebanon, and indicated the United Stales would offer to help guarantee Israel's security to speed an accord. "President Reagan has sent me here to show America's determination to help in the process of peace in the Middle East," Shultz said following his 13-hour journey from Washington. He said he would slay in the region as long as there was hope of achieving a withdrawal agreement, which he described as "very doable." Shultz indicated that the actual limctable for getting about 60,000 foreign troops out of Lebanon may be worked out later. He said he would bring up the possibility of an expanded U.S. role in Lebanon during discussions with Israeli and Lebanese leaders. Shultz told reporters he also may discuss Reagan's faltering Middle East peace initiative during his trip, but that his chief aim will be a troop withdrawal agreement.

Word of the note readied rescuers outside the cave about 5:50 p.m., four hours after a lime written on the note. It said the eight look shelter on a dry ledge after a sudden ruinstorm caused a stream inside the cave lo rise Saturday, sealing the only escape route.

That's the scare lactic used by business, Industry and even the government lo frighten the public into believing that "overly stringent" environmental and health regulations will cost thousands of jobs, a leading environmentalist charged. "It's lime lo explode Ihc myth thai we need to sacrifice jobs for a clean environment," said Richard Grossman, director of Ihc Washington, D.C.-based group, Environmentalists for Pull Employment, and co-author of the recently-released Fear At Work: Job t'lackmall, Labor and the Environment. Job blackmail, a form of coercion dating back lo Ihe industrial revolution, is on the rise again in this era of great concern for both jobs and t lie environment, said Grossman during a press conference in ihc Legislative Office Building Friday. "Employers and polluters don't want people lo know Ihc facts. They would rather scare us into believing the myth ihnl wc must choose between our jobs and our environment. . .between our economic well-being and our health," contended Grossman, of jobs or environment exploration, divided the nation into two camps: "those who want to preserve everything" and "those who like to have jobs." While business and industry are "squawking" thai pollution control systems, clean air and water laws exact a heavy toll in employment, Grossman and his colleagues contend thai just the opposite is true — thai over 100,000 new jobs have been created as a result of clean air laws and more than 200,000 jobs because of clean water laws. In addition, more than 520,000 could be created by 1987 In the research, construction and maintenance or pollution control systems, he maintained. But, according to the EPA, over 35,(XX) workers have lost their jobs since 1971 as a result of environmental regulations. According lo Grossman, however, this equals "fewer than .1,000 workers a year since I97I — out of a workforce of more than I00 million." Grossman's new book, /'ear at Work, coauthored by Richard Kazis, details in 380 pages "the Reagan administration's attacks on worker and environmental rlghls, ihe effect of environmental laws on Inflation, productivity and innovation, and how job blackmail works."

The report cited 2,350 instances of vandalism in 94 dormitories, along with 5n(, fires in ciglil reporting campuses from 1978-81. The major causes of campus vandalism cited were alcohol abuse, academic and social stress on students, non-students on campus and poor maintenance and repair. "SASU believes the common area damage fee Is unjustifiable for several reasons," said Tierney. "The worst effect Ihe fee will have is lhal it will cause disincentive for the student government and resilience staff to form programs 10 slop vandalism. The money available from the fee will decrease Ihc Incentive to locate perpetrators and will increase the number of people held accountable for the damage." According 10 Tierney, "This collective guilt idea means thai more people will be billed for damage than arc actually guilty of Ihe vandalism." The proposal, according to Dr. James Smoot, vice chancellor of educational services al SUNY Central, "grew out of a study on the problem of vandalism in common areas. SUNY Central believes that the fee is permissive enough 10 he easily applied to Ihe various campuses in t he SUNY system in that it doesn't require each campus to adopt the proposal." The fee can be adopted by each individual campus that feels 1 hey can legitimately and fairly recover their cosls due to vandalism, according to Smoot. "I don't feel it will reduce incentive lo reduce vandalism because Ihe fee is similar to a deposit in thai il will be refunded, either partially or In full, at the end of the year if Ihe funds have not been utilized," he said. "This will retain incentive in that if Ihc money is not used to pay for willful and malicious property damage, it will be returned to the students. This also applies 10 students who do not remain in the residence halls for the entire year. They will be refunded Ihe appropriate amount." SASU, however, feels lhal Ihe money available 10 be applied lo vandalism will "create a pool of funds that can be abused," according 10 Tierney. "Approximately 89 percent of the common area damage is already paid for by the students themselves through dorm charges, which contribute to ihc maintenance operation budget. The remaining II percent of Ihe money allocated to pay lor Ihc damage is partially paid for by students who are billed for damages." Another objection which SASU has lo the dorm damage fees, said Tierney, is lhal through administrative cosls, the amount of money available to actually pay for damage 10 the dorms will be severely decreased. According to Tierney, "Ihe maximum amount per student which is billed to the general fund because of dorm damage is one 10 two dollars. Just Ihe cost of administering Ihc fee will be prohibitive enough 10 favor instead increasing programs and incentives against vandalism Instead of a fee. There could instead be cash Incentives for students that report vandalism, and programs focusing on drug and alcohol abuse, which arc the two main factors cited in dormitory vandalism." According lo Ticmcy, [he question of instituting a common damage fee for all dormitory students also has legal implications in that it would be billing all the residents of a dormitory for damage lo their common areas, which many of the students billed will have played no part in. The question raised, he said, "is if il is constitutional lo bill someone for common area damage whether Ihey are guilty of Ihe damage or not." Dr, Smoot, however, commented thai he did 1101 know if it would be legal: "The fact that this is a loliey for a stale school means lhal il has to face issues such is Ihis which private schools do not. We are basing the proxisal on a deposit arrangement that many private schools lave which charges students for damage done to common areas. Il is still unclear as to whether this will be legal for public Institutions or not." Finally, SASU's position is that Ihe fee is just a proposal lo "cool off legislators" who see this concern as a good chance to "promote themselves" said Tierney. "The commission on higher education has in fact praised SUNY on •heir reduction of vandalism" said Tierney. "And when ,'ou look at SUNY ill comparison to most Northeastern colleges, we have a vandalism raie which is approximately 50 percent lower than other institutions." Sieve Allinger, program analyst for the Higher Education Committee, commented that "SUNY already does a fairly good job in reducing vandalism. I don't think that il compares unfavorably 10 oilier institutions. We also have to consider lhal the institution of any fee is just another extra charge which contributes to the cost of ihe Institution, And considering lhal there is already going 10 be a raise in dorm charges of $150, 1 think thai il is preferable to see if other programs could be more effective." f! 4 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS r APRIL 26. 1983 APRIL 26, 1983 • ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 5 SA President Mike Corso given $1,000 award Got The school.

Danny Gordis, a student of Ihe Rabbinical Jewish Theological Seminary, described his experiences before a small audience in LC 22 last night as he showed slides of Jewish families which he and his wife Belli loaned in Russia. Under Ihe guise of tourists, the Cordis1 spent two weeks this pasl January in Ihrcc Russian cities, searching out Russian Jewish dissidents and their families. "The Russian Jewish people are helpless," said Cordis. "They have lost all hope that they will ever leave Russia." In a lensc journey thai took them lo Moscow, Kiev, and Odessa, Gordis described families who have often been reduced from high level jobs to menial labor and constant surveillance by Ihe KGB. "If the people do not try to be openly Jewish or If ihey never apply lo leave Ihe country, then they will not be bothered," said Cordis. If families do either one of these, he explained, Ihey arc fired from their jobs, put under surveillance, and often harassed. The first family thai the Cordis1 mel in Moscow was an example of ihe plight of all the Russian Jews described by Cordis during his lecture, " T h e husband was a professional photographer, his wife was a school teacher, Ihcy were well educated," he said. Then the couple applied to leave the country for ihe U.S., said Cordis, As a result, "Ihey were both fired from their positions. Now he works shoveling coal on a freight train and she is unemployed," said Cordis. "I never mel people so poor in my life," claimed Cordis, "especially people who have an apartment," He explained dial Ihe Soviet Union finds them enough work so lhat ihey can barely survive and have a place lo live.

One of the tasks of the Cordis1 was to bring religious liieralure, tapes and messages to the Russian Jews who Ihey could locate. Gordis had an address book listing families thai he was going to Iry lo contact, he said. The KGB found the book al the customs station and after much interrogation relumed it lo Gordis, he explained. "Some of the liieralure we tried to get in was confiscated ai the border, though," said Gordis. Russian Jews have a whole system of pholograpliing books and dislribiMing them in ihe underground refusenik community, according to Gordis. Pholograpliing is necessary because there are no copiers for public use in Russia; only stale personnel may use them, said Gordis.

Two classes of Jews exist in the Soviet Union, according to Gordis. "There arc Zionists, who only want to defect to Israel, and there arc the more religious Jews who want to go to the U.S.," he said.

That request came from his wife. Deep down he knew she was right but he also knew that some day he would return to her.

After all, how often do three prominent out of town players, all leaders of their own groups, come to play with the head of the local jazz community? Fortunately, Mr. Brignola has cut some albums with Mr. Holland, and his ties to the Woodstock-based Creative Music Studio and ECM record label (for whom DeJohnette, Holland and Redman al record) are close enough to persuade hi: friends lo spend a night playing jazz Ir Albany. A possible hitch, however, was the potentially different musical interests among the players. This proved lo create a very'-.small barrier. Even though the three " f r i e n d s " are considered p r i m a r i l y members of the new movement of jazz, they have proven repeatedly, on their various projects, Just how versatile they can be, and If there was any doubt as to how comfortable the usually "straight ahead" Brignola would be with his more avant • garde co-players, he put it to rest with . scorching alto sax solo during the concert's opening number. On that piece, Dave Holland's "Jurnpin' I n . " Brignola displayed the sensitive listening ability needed to play alongside a freer rhythm section than the one he usually plays with, while briliantly showing how the traditional jazz language can be molded to fit perfectly with newer jazz compositions. And so It went. Of the three remaining numbers performed during the first set, two were composed by Jack DeJohnette, while the last was another Dave Holland piece. De- ing was full of other displays of brilliance, After "Tin Can Alley," DeJohnette shifted to electronic piano for his "Pastel Rhapsody," a slow piece on which Nick returned to his alto. Dewey, who played tenor for the whole night, delivered a sparse, very m o o d y s o l o , w h i c h characterized his playing for most of the concert. Redman's career has taken him from Ornette coleman's revolutionary groups of the sixties, through the bands of countless other jazz players, to his current roles as leader of the Dewey Redman Quintet, and as one fourth of the But the real story is about Nick Brignola For years, it has been this area's priuiledge to have a man recognized as one of the world's best saxophonists living and playing here No matter which local place he plays in Nick always brings a horn or two and blows some of the best jazz sounds to be heard anywhere. "*UTU Johnette's first olfering was "Tin Can Alley," the title track of the latest album by his current group, Special Edition.

Nick was joined by drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Dave Holland, and saxophonist Dewey Redman. DeJohnette and Holland are undisputedly two of the most accomplished musicians on their respective instruments, while Redman has earned a reputation as one of today's highly regarded saxophonists, both through his long association with Jazz's leading figures (most notably with Ornette Coleman), and through his unique and soothing tone. • i -i i • O Egg- I -• The Verdict Is In Marie Thomas and Earle • Hyman, performing In Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night presented at the The long day of the play's title Is a single day In the life of the four members of the family Tyrone.

This oration has become firmly etched in the minds of TV buffs, the world over. You know it, you love It, and can recite It on a moment's notice at any given time. However, not only do we wonder about the last line of the Introduction, but we also wonder whether two gifted and noble men can share a show without one shining above the other. Once again, we must ask, whom do you like bolter, Felix or Oscar? J Last week we gave you Oscar's strong .points. This week we're giving you the flipside, Felix's finest qualities. j Felix Unger has an I.Q. of 1H6. He worked his way through college selling spot 'remover, he was betrothed to one of the 'loveliest women we've ever seen, Gloria, who was every youngster's first true love, excluding, of course, Jeannie of Cocoa Beach fame. Felix was almost voted the cutest boy in his high school but he couldn't win Iwo medals and he already had the Home Economics Award. Mr, Unger knows every Item on his person (comb, wallet, nose spray). His nickname as a child was Felix the Pest, when a week late with his milk money, his fellow grammar schoolers voted him the death penalty. His marriage counselor kicked him out of his office and wrote on his chart, "lunatic." I i. The grounds of Felix's divorce set a legal precedent In New York State, pestlness. He doesn't like pits in his orange juice ("Pill"). After breaking up with Gloria, he went on a hunger strike and would only eat >grapefruits, gizzards and garbanzo beans. He kept the plastic covers on "Mr. Friend", his version of Radar's Teddy Bear, with whom he (Felix, that Is} slept (or five years ("These things collect lint"). Felix is a irenowned honker due to a sinus condition. Mr, Unger has been known to be excessively neat ("This would be a perfect ime to shampoo the rug." "First I go for imy l's, then my l>'s. No. you gotta be bold, |you gotta go with the dice, No. I'd rather be ineat."). Furthermore, Felix demonstrates exttreme loyalty to his friends ("You are a no.ile drone though, aren't you?") After losIing Oscar's Job by annoying his boss f(played by the one and only Edward Piatt, (known to millions as the Chief of Control). ^e convinces him to rehire his chum. iAlthough 11 doesn't turn out as planned, he ideliberately performs poorly ("You couldn't afford a bat so you used your little Ibrother.") when given the role that Oscar iwas supposed to play in a commercial so !that they'd run out of time and use Oscar He comes through "like the cavalry" when Ithe Internal Revenue Service Is aboul to ihail Oscar for, back taxes, showing proof Ithai they actually owe him money Even ,after being cleverly deceived by Oscar. IF'elix comes lo his aid and announces the !square dance in order to help him pay a debt. He gives Oscar the encouragement he needs when he's having difficulties writing his book {"Knockout" by Oscar Madison), and all he asks In return is a simple dedication. It is quite obvious that we should be down on our knees thanking our maker for a friend like Felix. Felix's unrelenting loyalty Is not limited lo his best friend and roomie. He has been known to bail needy others out of sticky wickets as well. He defends his pal Murray Ihe cop after Oscar levels serious charges against him In one of the famous courtroom scenes. He shows his feeling for others by first bringing home a baby that has been errantly left al his office and then efusing to contact the authorities because le firmly believed that the child's mother would show up. As was alluded to just before, one of Felix's many talents is his courtroom expertise. He is, without a doubt, one of the most entertaining lawyers Ihis side of these writers, "It was a spur of the moment thing." One would assume after walchir.g one of his brilliant performances, that he has had some legal training, but that simply Isn't true. O h , by the way, "you should never assume because when you assume, you make an ass out ol u and me". So the question has weighed on your mind for more than a week. Do we love JFpllx the Pest more than Oscar Trevor? One must reach deeply Into his soul to answer this, Many will instinctively jump to a conclusion, rashly stating a preference, I but this is Is not how such decisions are made. God knows that there's a little bit of both of them in all of US, us. What we'd like to suggest Is this, can Felix and Oscar possibly be separatated? Perhaps a mother hen can ostracize one of her chicks Ifif it's been handled by a human, but a thinking person cannot possibly prefer one of Its own to another, and Fel and Osc are two of our own, aren't they? We love them both deeply and equally. FUTUREVISION: The competition has been fierce, the campaigning intense and the lobbying underhanded, but the Jurors jurors have steadfastly stuck to their vows of impartiality and the winner has been chosen. First, though, we'd like to explain the criteria by which the coveted Richard M. IVt'lssberg Memorial Award is given out. It must be earned. One must have spent many hours in front of the television, be a knowledgeable and Informed viewer and watch not only for pleasure but, more importantly, for content. We can only choose from those who we know about, so if you or anyone you know feel that you are deservent of consideration, send your credentials (old TV Guides, viewing schedules, program synopses) to the ASP office and we'll schedule an Interview during non-prime viewing hours as part of our quest to find that viewer who stands heads and shoulders above that of his peers. This week's Richard M. Welssberg Memorial Award winner Is Steve Stone. Steve viewed his usual cornucopia of TV events ranging from avid vlewings of old sit-coms to N H L Playoff Hockey (Rangers, obviously when still involved, Bruins now because of Brad and Rick), Mr. Stone Is a renowned theorist and his conservative outlook on viewing has Influenced many Albany households Steve especially shined during the Captain Video episode of The Honeymooners, aired last Sunday, impeccably anticipating each and every ensuing line and further informing his fellow viewers of background Information during those important hiatuses from viewing, commercials, Congratulations to Mr. Stone. Speaking of commercials, next week we will discuss two views of commercials. Are they to be treasured or are they rest periods or the weary viewer? Eclipse Shines At Mr, C's T his past Friday night saw the area debut of a new jazz quartet from the spawning ground of half of SUNYA. Long Island Eclipse played to a small but enthusiastic audience al Mr C's in Schenectady, If this show was any indication of ihe hand's talents and abilities, ^hen It's a fair but to say that Eclipse is just at the beginning of a long and successful career. Robert Schneider Eclipse has been together In Ms present form for about .» year, although Ihe members had known eachothei for several years before that Currently, the group is playing on the South Shore, In towns like |Bellmore and Massapequa, home of the [Stray Cats As a mallei of fact, guitarist Bob Gallo once played alongside Lee Rocker, In a Top 40 band Apparently Rocker didn't Impress Gallo loo mu< h, for when Gallo and keyboardist Greg Schlelch were forming their own group, they rejected Rocker, who cheered up by selling a million records, At this point, Eclipse is looking f<>i <i recording contract, with hopes of releasing a six or seven song EP. Although nothing is set yet, several record companies are involved. Schlelch told me that the band hasn't set any timetable for success. With a few breaks, it shouldn't be too long before things really start rolling their way. It's difficult for a Jazz-fusion band to achieve •widespread recognition among the •Teenage-Wasteland audiences that predominate on the Island. With this in .mind, Eclipse Is seeking venues In both New York and the Hamptons, where a liore sophisticated audience can be found Sophisticated is a word that describes the Eclipse style, with few exceptions All the songs are original compositions, written by Bob Gallo, who has studied with Pat Mar lino Gallo, when asked who he is Influenced by, responded by saying thai he is Influenced by many, but copies no one. This was borne out by ihe performance Friday night. The show opened with a dazzling latin lumbei known as "Slipstream " O n e of ihe ew criticisms of the show was found right at the Start, namely the sound quality. Bob Gallo's guitar was barely audible, and at certain points it almost seemed like he was trying Ins hardest to win an ait guitar contest Actually, the problems with the sound were understandable, as Eclipse's sound man didn't make the trip, "Slipstream" also pointed out the many things that are right aboul this band Greg Schlelch's keyboard performance can best be described as magical, i l e displayed an enthusiasm and talent for the ivories that is rarely seen anywhere, On "Believe It Or Else," If one closed his eyes. It wasn't too hard to Imagine that Billy Preston was up there, Schlelch views the synthesizer as an instrument with great potential. Fie showed this on a number of songs, as he threw in some experimental tricks. Sometimes experimenting can turn off an audience, but this didn't happen at Mr. C's. As a matter of fact, it was during these ventures that the crowd voiced its loudest approval. I As stated before, Bob Gallo's guitar was 'usually drowned out. This didn't happen I on "Also Too." As a matter of fact, the smoky leads that Gallo provided were quite impressive. "Also Too" demonstrated one of the most notable things aboul Eclipse — their sense of liming. Al several points, sudden drop-offs occured. and after liny intervals, the music began again. To their credit, every time that the music stopped, it did so in total unison. The same can be said for the start-ups. On a record, this would be taken for granted, but in a live show, il was a pleasant surprise. Bassist John Pandolfo, while being inderutlllzed, nonetheless did move to the .orefronl when he was called on. This oc:ured on "Double Agent." Pandolfo prodded a strong anchor for Schlelch's Improvisation. In keeping with the song's title, .the James Bond theme flitted through. It was a very clever trick, although it should have been the main body of the song, instead of the occasional treat. All in all, Eclipse shows a great deal of potential. One got the feeling that an EP, with several of the songs that were performed Friday night, would go very far among both fusion and rock fans alike. Schlelch is a superb keyboardist, and experimenting seems to suit him well. Aside from allocating a little more space for the other members of the band, especially guitarist Gallo, Eclipse put on a marvelous, professional show. Keep an eye on them. D^ L Front page news Be aware of reality or some unexplainable reason many women have developed a real feeling of security at this university. A naive philosophy seems to exist that all are protected within the mighty walls of Albany State. It simply isn't true. There is a serious problem with women's safety on this campus. It's a problem that must be recognized and dealt with. Of course not everyone has been blind to the violence occuring against women. Yesterday a march was assembled to protest against a rape that was committed on our podium April IS. In just three days women organized the event which attracted close to 50 participants. Their voice was loud and clear. The anger and awareness they displayed brought strength to a statement all people should voice. Above all else the statement heard from these protesters was that women can not take for granted that they are safe on this campus. Never walk alone. Stay with friends or call the university escort service (457-7616). " W o m e n united will never be divided." In dissatisfaction over the situation it might seem reasonable to put all the blame on the campus security system. However, that is a far too easy solution. The blame should be placed on all of us who haven't acknowledged that this problem exists. Incidents of F violence on account of sex can never be swept under the rug. The fact that we all must act responsibly still does not take university security off the hook. A more extensive system must be devised in order to meet the safety conditions that can be achieved here. The escort system and Blue Light Emergency Phones (which are direct lines to the Department of Public Safety) are a beginning, but they are not well E developed enough to serve this huge community. Perhaps a better screening process for the escorts, and a more publicized presentation of the phone system would be an improvement. Other efforts to alleviate this growing concern have been accomplished. The President's Task Force on Women's Safety established here in 1978 has made some positive strides. Among other aspects the group has implemented improvements of lighting at both the uptown and downtown campuses. Still, it's not enough. The list of things that should be done could go on and on. Realistically thinking, however, all the best trained escorts and all the lights and phones in the world mean nothing if they are not being utilized. Women must take advantage of what services are offered. If honest attempts at correcting the safety problem arc made and then ignored, it can certainly not be expected that further safety measures will be provided. What is actually the most upsetting about this entire matter is the fact that women are subjected to these horrid injustices in the first place. It's sickening to think of the precautions that now every women must logically take. Unfortunately, hiding from reality is not going to shield you from the rapist. D To the Editor: The policy and practice of women's safety here at SUNVA is a farce. As a woman and a SUNYA-taxpayer, 1 am appalled at the ASP's recent coverage and layout regarding the alleged rape of a SUNYA coed. It seems that J.V. sports and nuclear theory take precedence over women's safety. These two articles covered the first page of the ASP's April 22 issue while the coverage of a rape victim took a small left hand corner on page three. The article was situated In a way that made it easily overlooked. I object to the layout of the article. Why wasn't it placed on the first page, in the sight of everyone who reads the ASP? There was not any reminder to women not lo walk alone at night. According to people I've spoken with, women have been recently followed from the library laic at night. There was no mention of this in the article. If this university is concerned about women's safely, its practice had better change. This past December, a SUNYA bus driver would not allow me on the bus at 11:30 at night. Why? I forgot my ID and we all know that rules arc rules. Although a full bus verified that 1 was a SUNYA student, I was still kicked off the bus and forced lo walk for three miles alone. Arc rules more important than life? It seems so here at SUNYA. The article should have been on the from page. Nowhere else. I know how important JV learns and'nuclcar theory arc to this university, but what aboul human safely? From page coverage would alerl students to rape and possible precautionary measures. The policy on women's safely al SUNYA is worth nothing more than printed words on puper. The ASP has shown us thai. Let's have a little bit more practice and awareness, before it's loo late. —Cathy Anne Thlhuult Support South Africa A look at the Palestinian cause The Arab propaganda effort has promoted numeroui myths about Middle East issues in order to advana political goals. Fortunately, the myths about such subjects as "Zionism as racism" and "the moderation of the P L O " are usually exposed by knowledgeable individuals who know the absurdity of these politically motivated lies. There remains, however, a subject about which layer upon layer of myths exist as a basis for discussion, and yet little has been done to establish the truth. The subject I speak of is the question of the "Palestinian refugees," and Palestinian nationalism in general. Glenn Mones One prevalent myth is the "Palestinian refugees" originally left Israel as a result of words and actions by Jewish authorities designed to convince them to leave. The fact is, however, that the Arab flight was the result of certain political miscalculations on the part of the Arab leadership. At first, Arab leaders encouraged much of the local population to leave, telling them to clear the way for the invading Arab armies, and that swift Arab victories would permit them to return in a few days and reclaim not only their own property but that of the Jews as well. When the Arab leaders saw that this wasn't happening, they began making frightful radio broadcasts, hoping to arouse the locals as well as the whole Arab world into a holy war against the Jews. Instead, they just scared the local Arab and convinced many more of them to depart. A British eyewitness account, appearing in the London Economist on October 2, 1948, reported that "various factors influenced their (the Arabs of Israel) decision to seek safety in flight. There is but little doubt that the most potent of the factors were the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive. . ." Earlier that year, the Near East Broadcasting Station in Cyprus said "it must not be forgotten that the Arab Higher Committee encouraged the refugees flight from their homes in Jaffa, Haifa and Jcrsalcm and that certain leaders have tried to make political capital of their miserable situation." In contrast to these reports were the efforts of Jewish leaders to get the Arabs to stay. The British police in Haifa reported on April 26, 1948, that "every effort is being made by the Jews to persuade the Arab populace to stay and carry on with their normal lives, lo get their shops and businesses open and to be assured that their lives and interests will be safe." In 1962, Salim Joubran, an Arab citizen of Israel, told American audiences the story of his own experiences: "The Arab High Command asked us to leave for two weeks to make the battle easier for them . . . I heard the Haganah microphone asking the Arabs to remain and live peacefully with their Jewish brethren. The late Jewish mayor of Haifa also asked us to go back to our homes. The Histadrut, our trade union, was distributing leaflets asking the Arabs to'comc back. I still have that leaflet." Certain questions that arise out of the case of the refugees help expose still further myths. One Is forced to wonder why the Arabs were so willing to abandon their "homeland." If they were simply afraid of the impending fighting, why didn't Jews also leave? This action on the pari of the Arabs of the region seems starkly in contrast to the willingness of many Palestinians to light today. The fact is that the Palestinians of that time hud a very different attitude than the "Palestinians" of today. When the refugees left, they may have been leaving their homes, but not their homeland. There has never been such a thing as a slate of Palestine at any lime in history in any place. "Palestine" refers to a geographical location which now contains the countries Jordan and Israel. Prior lo British conirol and subsequent partilion by the U.N., Palestine was pari of the "Villict of Syria" and was ruled by the Ottomun Turks from abroad. Living in the land, in addition to a remnant of the descendants of the original Jewish population, were Jews, Arabs and Christians who had come to ihe area over the years. At thai time, to say that a man was a Palestinian was only to say where he lived, and it was necessary lo specify Palestinian Arab or Palestinian Jew in order lo indicate his nationality. While it was conceivable that these various national groups could have opted to unite and create a new nationality called the "Palestine" people, much the way Lebanon is "united" today, they did not choose to do so. Although a few Jews suggested Ihe idea, the Arabs of the region chose to remain a part of the whole Arab people. Israel's creation was, in fact, uol viewed so much as an occupation of Palestine, bin us an incursion into the Arab world. This was the reason why ihe Arabs attacked in 1948. As King Sand Ibu Ahdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia once put it "Israel lo the Arab world is like a cancer lo the human body, and Ihe only way of remedy is lo uproot it like a cancer." Thai the Palestinians are pari of ihe Arab people is indicated by the decision of the Arab league at Rubal lo make ihe PLO the sole representative of ihe Palestinians, There is a great sense of Palestinian nationalism among these people. This has come about largely because Ihe rest of ihe Arab world has isolated the refugees. Palestinians are uniquely discriminated against by every Arab country in areas such as employment, housing and welfare benefits. Even Jordan, which is the pari of Palestine reserved for Arabs and now occupies 77 percent of Ihe land, is ruled by King Hussein, a Hashemile and not an Arab, who only grams the "Palestinian" majority their rights because he is afraid of being deposed or assassinated. It should be understood from this discussion thai while the plight of the Arab refugees is very real, il docs not stem from the lack of a homeland. It is therefore absurd lo believe that Ihe solution to Ihe problem is to eliminate or reduce the tiny stale of Israel. Il is time thai the Arab world accept more responsibility for their fellow Arabs than lo simply promise continued efforts against the "Zionist entity." I I To the Editor: The editorial of Japhel Zwuna criticizes the policy of the current administration toward the Republic of South Africa. Mis typifies the negro attitude toward the South African Republic. A larger, more rational and factual view mighl help lo clarify United Slalcs policy loward SubSaharan Africa. The policy of increasing support of the United Slalcs loward South Africa is a direct result of Soviet expansionism within Ihe region. Il lakes only a cursory glance al a newspaper to sec the huge Soviet and Cuban presence in Angola, Ethiopia, and various other spots within the troubled continent. Additionally, the Soviets have vastly expanded Iheir naval forces in the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic. The Soviet threat lo the Cape trade route is immense. U.S. oil imports rounding the Cape of Qood Hope amount to 30 percent of our total Imports, and NATO countries have imported a total of 80 percent of t heir imports around Ihe Cape. In addition, the United Slalcs imports substanlial quantities of 7 strategic minerals from South Africa. The importance of South Africa's mineral wealth is readily apparent. American support for the sole civilized anti-communist government in Ihe region is a cornerstone to checking Soviet aggression. What alternative does Japhet Zwana advocate in South Africa? Look at the example negro rule has set. Tanzania's Julius Nycrere heads one of Ihe world's 25 poorest countries with no sign of democracy in sight, Machel's Mozambique has no food, no devclpmcnl and no vole. Danial arap Moi has arrcsled the entire Kenyan Air Force in a recent coup attempt. How aboul inflation ravaged Nigeria, starv- RtanuiaL ait. WPES;.. BMKWI1ES.FEES...

Who can forget the archetypal African ruler, Idi Amin Dada? The only conclusion that can be rationally reached is that Africans arc utterly incapable of modern, civilized democratic government. Economically, black Africa owes everything that it has (in a positive sense) to Europe and Europeans, most particularly the British. Blacks, colorcds, and Indians have a far higher standard of living than anywhere else in Africa. One need only watch the deterioration of Zimbabwe (formerly civilized Rhodesia) to understand the effect of majority rule in South Africa. The appeal of (he Soviet "something for nothing" system to the African is obvious. The challenge to America is to avoid that same simple minded approach. We must support the Republic of South Africa with the political and military support necessary to resist the Soviet Union's expansionism. — Paul Kruger Bus fee for 5th quad To Ihe Edllor: As a resident of Alumni Quad Tor Ihe last three years I have found the bus service inconvenient, but tolerable. As a freshman 1 had requested Dutch Quad as my housing preference, and when I found that I had been assigned to Alumni I was very disappointed and felt that I had been inconvenienced (I am on the Kosher Meal plan). After living there Freshman year however, 1 was glad thai I had been assigned to Alumni and 1 knew (hat I wouldn't move uptown. After reading the April 8 ASP article on the proposed bus fee I was angry and confused. Downtown students have just as much right to gel to their classes frec-of-charge as uptown students do. As far as I know Alumni Quad is campus housing the same as Dutch or Indian, and is not considered optional housing like moving into an apartment. To charge a user fee so that students can gel lo their classes seems lo me lo be an outrageous demand. SUNYA should nol admit the number of students it does if it will then have to house students "off-campus" (not uptown), and if it cannot then provide the transportation necessary for students to gel to their classes. Although some may claim thai no one has lo live on Alumni Quad or off-campus, these residences provide housing for a good percentage of SUNYA students, and as I mentioned before, as a freshman, I wasn't really given much choice. To be sure, I could have eventually moved uptown, after all de-tripling and lounge-clearing had been taken care of. Hypothct.cally, had there been a user fee at that time, I would have avoided it by moving uptown; but why should I have lo move from my friends and from a place I had made "home" in order lo avoid paying bus fees? And, of course, there just isn't enough room uptown for everyone downtown to do whal I just proposed. Although il may not sound like it, I am sympathetic to the budget cuts, being faced, like everyone else, wilh a three-hundred dollar tuition hike. Mul I feel thai some alternatives could be found, rather than charging students 10 go. to their classes. The bus situation is a serious one, and one that needs a solution. I am not claiming to have ihe solutions, but I do recognize the fact that this should be everyone's problem. Perhaps all students, those residing uptown as well as downtown, and faculty and staff should be charged, if fees are the only solution. Then, the fees could be lowered accordingly. As students here at this university, both uptown and downtown, we are all here for essentially the same purpose. The bus is a necessity that downtowners really couldn't do without. And, afierall, although the uptown students use the bus too, il sure isn'l for gelling to class.

Mailing address: Albany Student Press, CC 329 HOD Washington Ave. Albany, NY 12222 (818)457-8892/3322/3389 S Decline of Mayfest To the Editor: Jusl a Tew words to those students who will be attending Iheir first Celebration (better known as Mayfest) this year. There arc a few things for you to expect this May 7. Expect to be crowded. I am a senior, and have been attending this school since 1979. In my freshman year Mayfest was not fenced in, as il has been every year since. The atmosphere was one of students having a good time in a spacious field, not one of human cattle being herded into a pen to trample and sweal on one another. In all fairness, I must add that (he open atmosphere attracted some thirtyrive year-old bearded Harley riders, and more than one sixteen year-old was seen getting sick after loo many cups of beer. At any rate, it's all fenced in now, and that's the way ihe supervisors of Celebration like il (more control over ihe event). Gelling back lo Ihe subjeel of beer, don't expect too drink much of il, unless you wanl to make an animal out of yourself (which will probably be a natural desire, after being herded around and lagged like livestock). At Mayfest '80 Ihe crowds at the beer trucks ran out half way through ihe afternoon, but the beer didn't. It was great. I got bombed. Anyone who atlended last year's Celebration will tell you how impossible it was to get lo Ihe beer. I suppose those in charge were happy with this as well. Aflcr all, it would nol do lo have enough beer available for people like me who, given Ihe chance, would drink Ihcmsclvcs silly. Lasily, expect the atmosphere lo be at least a lit(lc upliglil. Eighteen year-olds won't be allowed lo gel beer, which may actually make the lines shorter, but I hope the authorities will lake il easy on those recently-minorcd individuals who may gel their hands on Ihe stuff. Wilh thai many people In thai restricted a space, a little discretion is needed. I know ilia! last year there were enough fences, green vans, and SUNYA's finest lo make me very nervous aboul having loo good a lime. listen, I know I'm nol being totally objective aboul this, bin this is supposed to be one day for the students lo gel out and have a good lime, within limits. The thing is, those limits are gelling closer and lighter. The administration is happy, bin ask your fellow students If Mayfesl/Cclcbraiion is gelling bettei oi worse. This ycai I expeel lo stand by the fence, have a beer or two. If I can get them, enjoy ihe hands, and remember how, three years ago, 1 drank beer aflcr beer after beer, ran around like an ass, and met a nice girl wilh whom 1 spent the rest of the day. Hoy, those were the days, huh? —David Chipps Suspend boycott In the Edllor: I would like lo address this Idler to two specific groups; The three gentlemen who complained about the bar "Lc Fat Cat" und ihe'SUNV population as a whole. I'm sorry thai the Ihree men didn't gel Iheir T-shirls Iwo Wednesdays ago. "l.e Pat Cat" was definitely in the wrong by nol idling Ihe truth aboul ihe lack of T-shirls but Ijynnol support a boycott as you advocate in you letter. The reason? "Lc Fai Cat" has generously donated (he cover charges of Wednesday, April 27, to Ihe New York Special Olympics. I hope thai as many people who can will come lo "l.e Fat Cat" this Wednesday lo support this worthwhile cause. I think that for this one nighi we could forego ihe boycotl and support Special Olympics. The cover price, Iwo dollars, is nol a loi of money per person bui if enough people attend, we will have a substantial amount of money lo help these special people. To look al il another way, your money is going entirely to Special Olympics, not a cent of il is going lo "Lc Fat Cat." So please, help someone who will never go lo college by donaling a Utile college fun. Thank you. — Barb Wcstbrook It's for the kids To the Edllor: There's a lot more lo Telethon ihcn the actual 24-hour iclelhon held each spring. Run for [he Gold, Dance Marathon and Afternoon al Ihe Hars are only a few events tun during ihe year in Ihe effort lo raise money for local children's organizations. Helping kids is whal Telethon is about, but Ihis is done nol only in monetary terms. Hbliday parlies, visits lo ihe recipient organizations and Ihe bonds ilia! are formed with the children constitute Ihe true essence of Telethon. As co-chairs, we're happy lo announce that Telethon '84 has begun. On April 26, (tonight) 7:30 in LC 6, (here will be an interest meeting for those people applying for staff posilions with Telethon '84. Applications are available in CC 130 and ihe final deadline is April 29. Telethon needs your time and dedication but can promise you a loi of fun and a sense of fulfillment in helping olhcrs.

(CPS) College and university administrators received average pay increases o f only 6.4 percent this academic year, compared to 10 percent and 8.7 percent pay hikes in the previous two years, an administrators' association has found. I This year's smaller salary increases "are probably an indication of what is to be expected over the next few .years," says Stephen Miller, executive director o f the [College and University Personnel Association, which .conducts the annual salary study. O f the 93 positions surveyed, executive and administrative officers got the biggest pay increascs-8.9 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively. Student affairs administrators, on the other hand, eccived the smallest salary increases, 4.2 percent,' 'ollowed by academic affairs officers with 6.5 percent aises. " W i t h declining enrollments and the ongoing economic problems colleges arc facing, I think a slower rale o f salary increases will be the norm for al least the next few years," Miller says, " I n terms of a career in higher education, though, it may mean good people will be leaving the profession, and that could cause some real problems in the future." Community college administrators fared best this year, averaging 6.5 percent more than they made last year. Officers at large universities were close behind with 6.2 percent increases, trailed by four-year college administrators, who netted only 4.7 percent pay raises. Private school administrators, for the first time in recent years, received smaller pay increases—5.6 percent compared lo 6.6 percent—than their public school colleagues. O f all administrators surveyed, deans o f medicine received the highest salaries, $86,700, followed by law school deans al $67,787. Nursing administrators al student health centers made the least at $16,640, followed by bookstore directors at $18,740. Women and minorities continue lo be the lowest paid administrators. Compared lo their white male counterparts, women earn 44.8 percent less and minorities make 37.2 percent less, the study shows. Miller says a number o f factors, such as length o f employment, could explain the disparity between minority and non-minority salaries. • U.S. research money stretched W A S H I N G T O N , LLC. (CPS) Federal research support for the nation's colleges and universities will " j u s t about keep pace with I n f l a t i o n " next year, despite the Reagan administration's proposed 18 percent increase in overall research funding, a new study shows. Most of the 18 percent increase in federal research money " w o n ' t oven be seen by colleges and universities," but will instead go to private corporations, says Albert Teich, co-author of the American Association for the Advancement of Science's annual study of research and development funding. Support for college and university research will increase 4.7 percent next year, according lo the study, amounting to a $236 million increase in real dollars. But in constant dollars, funding will rise only one-half o f one percent, or by $10 million. increase the administration has proposed for overall research f u n d i n g , " Teich notes. " U u t colleges and universities won't fare nearly as well as the private sector. Most of that money will go lo corporations like the big aerospace f i r m s , " Within the overall $7 billion increase, moreover, funding for defense research will increase by nearly 28 percent, while basic research funding will gel only a 5.5 percent increase in constant dollars. Funding for university research through the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, Education, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will actually decrease, the study points o u l . A n d the National Institutes of Health, which channel in u l y $2.3 billion in research money to colleges, will suffer a nearly two percent cut in federal support if O "A lot of people are talking about the big 18 percent Congress approves Reagan's funding requests.

Graduates lowering sights as jobs get scarce By Cheryl Jacobs COUMHI: PRESS SEK VICE After ten years of college, Cheri McKently Is getting a little depressed. Even after she gets her masters degree in industrial social work next fall from the University of Wisconsin, she doesn't think she has much of a chance to land a decent job. "I don't have any hope of getting that $25,000 a year job," says the 38-year-old mother of two, who holds down a part-time job at the university's Continuing Education service. In her job, she gets to see increasing numbers of people in situations like hers: recent college grads who, after periods of trying but failing to parlay their degrees into the jobs they were trained for, arc now lowering their sights and expectations. It is happening at similar continuing education and retraining offices around the country, too. "The people coming In for counseling arc in their twenties and thirties, and they feel angry, frustrated and betrayed," says Kent I caiuh ini, a UW career counselor. Especially among reccnl grads, "I think there is disenchantment, and expectations are not met," adds Judith Oumbcner, San Diego Stale University's associate planning director. . "More people are being educated, thinking lliis is going in open the doors," says Dr. William Bryan of the University of Alabama's Continuing Education Program. "But it Is not." Students and recent grads "have seen a pretty hard decade for employment," summarizes Paul Barton, head of the National Institute for Work and Learning in Washington, D.C. "These people don't sec themselves doing as well as their parents, and that is part of the disappointment." "There is a feeling that people arc not in control of their future," Lesadrlni explains. He sees post-graduate depression most often among liberal arts degree holders like teachers and social workers, but also among a surprising number of people who have earned their masters of business administration (MBA). MBAs, of course, were considered the golden job ticket of the late seventies. Part of the reason for the widespread disappointment and the increasing traffic at continuing education programs from recent grads is thai students treat their educations too much as employcnt tools, the counselors say. "People rely too much on education as a singular qualification for employment," Oumbencr contends. "The total being and image put forth are more improlant." Wolanin expects Congress will i'put more flesh on those bones" of ic new grade rules over the next :w years.

Technical school enrollment nationwide has gone up 20 percent over the last two years, in part because of the influx of college grads, reports Christopher Davis of the Natioal Association for Trade and Technical Schools. He says most fo them arc enrolling in data processing, electronics, dental technician and drafting technician programs. The programs "Make them more •narkctablc for entry-level jobs," he explains. But unreconstitutcd liberal arts majors like McKently sec a determinedly-downbeat future. "I'm facing a job market lhat doesn't want social workers," she says. After starting business school she married and had children before reluming to college for her B.A. in social work. Her one social work iob fell victim to a budget cut. After a divorce, she returned lo Wisconsin for her masters. Even wilh the advanced degree, she fears she won'l be able lo gel a good job, or hold onto one if the economy goes sour again. ' Q Watch for il in Friday's ASPECTS 'Moving to Stuyvesant Plaza" June 22 Nominations are now b e i n g a c c e p t e d for t h e May 4 t h NYPIRG elections: WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) The government will soon force colleges lo slrip students with bad grades of their federal financial aid, al least if a congressional advisory committee gels its way. The National Commission on Student Financial Assistance, created three years ago to draw up sludeni aid bills for Congress, lasl week recommended a series of new academic rules that colleges would have to impose on aid recipients. Colleges, the commission said, often don't take aid away from students who don't make "satisfactory academic progress" toward their degrees because of bad grades. To assure that grade standards are observed, the commission wants Congress to require schools to publish minimum course, alendence and grade requiremenls or federal financial aid. Colleges would also have to idenify students as part- or full-lime, et up provisions to account for ropped courses in computing ligibility and to allow for grade apeals, and bar aid to students whe 'on't gel Ihcir degrees wilhin a certain period of time, Wolanin exJains. "The computer, the chips and robots are coming in," he says. "Those with degrees from a couple of years ago are finding it difficult to compete in the higher technlogy )f the eighties." Whatever the reasons for the disillusionment, they are prompting a remarkable enrollment boom at the continuing education offices and especially technical schools around the nation. 'We're experiencing an Inordinate number of degreed students coming back," exults Robert L. Brown, admissions director for Wake Technical College in Rallcgh, N.C. Wake's enrollment is up 42 percent over fall, 1981. "I turned away 1,000 students last fall," he reports, "I'm afraid I'm going to be turning away 2,200 this year." Many of Ihcm have Ph.D.s and MBAs, he adds. "We have a lol of students with four-year degrees coming back" for retraining al Central Texas College, says Lillian Young of the Killecn school's Skills Training Center. They lell her, '"I've gone frm one place lo another, and 1 can't find a job,'" she says. Many of the :ollcge grads are now in CTC's auto N U K E S — an in-depth look: Dm the unrealistic job expectations arcn'l the educators' fault, the educators say. Poor grades may lose aid The proposed new rules are "an attempt to get (schools) to make it clear to students what the standards are," adds Ton Wolanin, an aide to commission member Rep. William Ford (D-Mi). In January, 1982, the Government Accounting Office (GAO estimated that as many as 45 percent of the nation's college aid offices may not monitor aid recipients' grades at all. Among the 5800 transcripts the GAO surveyed in 1982, it found some students with grade poin. averages as low as .11 still getting aid. "I don't think anyone ever promises anyone a position," says Dr. William Barton of the Unvlcrsity of Tennessee's continuing education program and vice president of the nationwide Association for Continuing Higher Education. San Diego State's Gumbeer also attributes the palpable "disillusionment" among the recent grads she sees to the current recession. Her clients "are tremendously frustrated because the job opportunities arc not the same as they were three years ago." Alabama's Bryan says brining down the state's 16 percent unemployment rale would go a long way toward Improving people's moods. But Wllliard Wirtz of the National Institute for Work and Learning says much of the underemployment and depression among recent grads can be traced to a fundamental shift in the American economy, not just to a temporary recession. "This has always happened" when economic activity mvoes from one base (say agriculture) lo another (industry), lie points out. "The disillusionment is nothing new." ' .

The Faculty Council at Cal StaleFullerton has voted 35-1 to submit a bid to the Nixon archive foundation, which previously has tried to place the library at Duke and then at the University of CaliforniaIrvine. Fullcrton's students government board unanimously approved making a bid for the library a few days before the faculty voted on it, according to campus spokesman Jerry Keating. I The former president is expected to decide which bid to accept - he's received bids from Whillier and San Clemente in California, and Abilene, Leavenworth and Shawnee in Kansas as well as Fullcrton sometime in April. Keating says the foundation wants to decide in lime to get the proposal to Congress this session. Two weeks before Fullcrton made its bid, Cal-Irvine lost its chance when lite academic Senate "wanted a little more lime to study" the idea, reports Helen Johnson, Irvine's public information director. She says some faculty members were "particulary concerned with the idea of a museum (attached to the library) that would glorify Nixon." But taking more time to decide if it wanted the library and museum would have meant Congress could not act this year, Johnson says, so the Nixon Foundation asked Irvine to forget hosting them. Similar faculty concerns over the museum, its potential for glossing over the former president's misdeeds, and the tourist traffic it would attract to campus ultimately convinced both Nixon and Duke, where Nixon got his law degree, to drop the idea of building the library in Durham. Indeed, the former president hasn't fared any better on most campuses since he left office than he did while he was still in office. The same week Cal-lrvlcc's faculty expressed its uncertainties about the library, the University of La Verne in California rejected an offer from the former president to build a Nixon Institute on its campus. Nixon would serve as the institute's chairman. Cal Stnie-Fullerton's proposal, though, would split the library from the museum, which would be built in nearby Yorba Linda, Nixon's birthplace. "The initiative for the library came from the faculty," Keating says, "not from an administration trying to foist something off." All t""piisc chin Keating credits the noncontroversial approval to the faculty's private, gentle persuasion. The historians' argument was that "you need not agree with every policy Richard Nixon espoused to sec the benefit of an archive." Besides, "this is essentially Nixon country," he adds. With Yorba Linda next door, Nixon's childhood house on a road leading directly onto campus, with Pat Nixon's alma mater (Fullcrton College) nearby, and with the campus already hosting a Nixon oral history archive, Fullcrton might be a natural library site.

"Carol and Nancy have been the steady, dependable players you need on your learn. I never have to worry about them — they have a great sense about the game," said Rhenish. Halloran comes from R.C. Kctcham High School in Wuppingers Falls, New York, where she played second base and shortstop. When she came to Albany, she was converted to third base where she played the next three years. This year she was convened to catcher because of an injury to the regular catcher. Wallace is from Deer Park High School where she played the mil field for four years. She was convened to firs! base in Albany, Inn Ihis year she is back in centerfield due to injuries. "Nancy and Carol are perfeel examples of leant players. In order to have a winning team, you have lo have players who will sacrifice something for Ihe good of Ihe team. These two players are indicative of this," Rhenish said. The team has showed steady improvement since Wallace and Halloran joined four years ago. 1980 marked Ihe first lime Albany Stale made the New York State playoffs. Halloran, as a freshman, was chosen as an all-star for Ihe tournament. In I98I, they placed third in Ihe Stales and last year they won ii all.

ASSISTANT The Albany Stale women's track and field team returned from the Cortland Invitational last Saturday with great limes and even some tans. Albany finished fifth in the team scoring with 43 points, well behind winner Cortland State's 125 points, but Ihc big story was the high level of the individual performances in the sunny, warm weather. "This was definitely our breakthrough meet," said head coach Ron White. "We had a national qualifier, two school records, and a whole slew of personal best times." White cited the good weather and tough competition as reasons behind the success. "And, of course, the team's been working very hard for this; it's nice to see it pay off." In only her second college 10,000-mcter race, freshman Kathy McCarthy demolished the school record and qualified for the Division III National Championships. McCarthy ran alone pushing herself to a best-ever time of 38:23.5 finishing second overall. Showing off Ihc Danes' depih in the distance events, Belle Dzamba look fourth place in 41:59. Another superior performance came when Donna Burnham ran wilh a very fast field in the 1,500-meter run. Burnham finished sixih overall, bin smashed ihc school record by more than three seconds with her lime of 4:54.7. "The old record holder, Chris Gardner, was a real premier runner," said White, "and now our freshmen are going beyond that." Sprinter l.inelle Skerritt had strong performances all day taking two thirds. The first came in the 100-melcr dash where she was timed in 12.8 seconds. Skerritt later ran a season besl lime on the way lo her third place finish in the 200-mctcr dash. Dane Jen Jones ran a great race in the 400-mcter intermediate hurdles.

Indoor soccer team excels By Adam Wilk STAFF IIRITUR This past weekend the Albany State indoor soccer leam competed in Ihc inaugural Lake Placid International Indoor Soccer Tournament. Albany finished with a 2-1-2 record for Ihc tournament, which featured teams from Canada, England and the United States. "The tournament went very well," outdoor soccer coach and indoor asistant coach Bill Schicffelin slated, "and with a couple of breaks we could have won the whole tournament." The tournament took place in Ihe 8,500 seal Olympic Arena, where only three years ago the U.S. Hockey leam captured the Gold Medal. "II was a grcal honor just playing in the tournament and in such a beautiful building," Schicffelin commented," but to do so well, thai jusi makes everything better," Albany defeated Oneonia, 5-2, in their first game and tied the University of Vcrnioiii, a Division I team, 1-1, in their second game. "We could have won ihai game loo," Schicffelin remarked, "bin we failed lo capitalize on our numerous scoring opportunities," Albany tied Johnstone College of New Hampshire in (heir third game and then lost in their fourth game to Carlton College of Canada, the eventual tournament runner- up, by a score of 2-1. In their final match of the tournament, Albany defeated the eventual tournament champion, the London AllStars, by the score of 2-0, a game in which Schieffelin said, "The (cam played very well." "It was a great experience to play in the tournament," Schicffelin commented. "It gave our players valuable experience which Ihey could not have gotten elsewhere." "The team played really well," assistant coach Bill Steffen remarked, "and I feel we were one of the top three teams in the tournament." Albany was one of the last teams to enter the tournament and because of their late entry some of Iheir regular players played for different teams. "Terry Bacchus, one of our regular players, played for Ihe Capital Land leam and made Ihe All-Tournament leam," Schieffelin slated. "But we were able lo get future MISL player Paxton Rose of Oneonia to play for us to make up for Bacchus' absence," he stated. Nevertheless, the lack of familiarity between ihc Albany leam member was fell by ihe leam. "In ihe beginning of the tournamcnl wc were unfamiliar with each uher," goalie Tom Merrill remarked, "bin ly Ihc end of Ihe tournament we had learned to play together as a leam, as witnessed by uu defeat of ihe London leam."

WHAT ARE LIFE II 5 I m Netmen beat Colonials for eighth win of year 150 Hunter Kings Shopping Center (Wcslgulc) Manny Cruz & Father 40 years automobile experience 482-0731 By Marc Bcrman STAFF WHITER DAVE RIVERA UPS Dave Ulrlch was victorious as the men's tennis team routed the Binghamton Colonials on Saturday, B-1. It was a very unusual day at SUNYA this past Saturday afternoon. There was no snow, no rain, ihe skies were clear, and a persistent flow of sunshine engulfed the campus. But something occurred on this warm spring day that wasn't so unusual; the Albany State men's tennis team was victorious again, boosting their season record to 7-1, by routing Binghamton 8-1. The Dane one week layoff due lo the weather' seemed to have no effect on their play. In the eight matches the club won, not one set was lost. Binghamton was hampered by the loss of first singles Tim Clark. Clark was declared ineligible for the season. This forced the Colonials to realign their lineup and ils effect was noticeable as Binghamlon, considered the toughest SUNYAC opponent, wenl down easily. Ironically, Binghamton still managed lo pull off a win at that slot as number two singles Peter Szabadhegy, subbing at number one, outlasted the slumping Barry Levlnc, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. Tile match was the only negative note, on a day of many positives for the Danes. "We played extremely well," said Albany coach Bob Lewis. "We practiced indoors throughout the week, so the week layoff didn't have any effect on us." In the second singles match, Dave Ulrich uintinued his sharp play, crushing Paul Terinno 6-3, 6-3. Captain Fred Gaber was triumphant at third singles in straight sets over Chris Olson. The most gratifying match was Ihe victory )>• fourth singles Lawrence Eichcn, snapping i slump that has plagued him for the past few vecks. His 6-4, 6-0 shellacking of Barry Goldberg impressed Coach Lewis, who has oecn critical of his play of late. "I was hoping those negative quotes that appeared in print would make him more aware of what was going o n , " said Lewis. "Judging by his performance today, I think it helped. He really played well." Eichcn wasn't too sure what caused the urnaround: "I think I found myself coming out of my so-called slump before I read those quotes in the paper. Maybe the quotes did serve as a slight catalyst. I knew I wasn't playing well and I put my mind to it more, concentrated harder, and it paid off." At number five singles, Dave Lcrncr continued his winning ways with a 6-4, 7-6 victory over Eric Elchhulz. Sixth singles freshman Dave Grossman, making a rare singles appearance, edged Andy Boyland 7-5, 6-4. Coach Lewis iried a major shakeup at the double spots, switching around Ihe positions to rewarding returns. "1 haven't been loo pleased with our doubles lately, so I wanted to try something different," said Lewis. Dave Lerncr, who has been the Danes' hoticsl player, was moved to first doubles with Levlnc. The duo were triumphant 6-3, 6-3. The second doubles team of Gabcr-Eichcn breezed lo a 6-4,6-2 victory as did GrossmanJay Eisenberg, 6-4, 6-0. The squad will host two more games this week; (his afternoon against a respected Amherst club and Thursday versus SUNY at Onconta. D Men's track team downs Binghamton, 122-40 By Tom Kacandes EIIITORIAI. ASSISTANT It had been almost two weeks since Ihe Albany Stale men's track and field team lasi competed. That meet, a one-sided loss to Cortland, was one they'd ruther forget. Captain Nick Sullivan described his team us "very hungry" before the dual mcel with Binghamton State last Saturday on the University track. That eagerness showed as the Danes slompcd the Colonials, 122 points to their opponent's 40. On the field, rookie Bill Waring started oil the Albany scoring first with a personal best leap of 6.27 mclcrs, leading teammates Paul Mance and Don Bleasedale to a sweep of Ihe long jump. Not lo be outdone, Mance won the triple jump with a very line jump of 13.56 mclcrs and Bleasedale took another third. Said Mance,"It's been so long since I've jumped, 1 thought I forgot how." Saturday's meet marked Ihe return of Dane thrower Bill Nason who is recovering from a bad cut on his throwing hand. Despite Ihe injury, Nason won the hummer throw, the shotput and the discus. In the shot, Nason's best event, his winning throw was a very solid 14.48 meters. "That's nol bad,"Nason said, "but there's a lot more there." Albany swept the shot put as senior Greg Dcdcs took second with a toss of 13.16 meters and Ken Yanneck took third. Dcdcs also took third in ihe hammer throw. The Danes also went one-two in the discus where Nason's winning throw was measured at 39.22 mclcrs and Yanncck's second-place toss was 37.32 meters. Rookie Pete Mario was the winner of the javelin throw in his first appearance for Ihe Danes. His winning mark of 50.46 meters stands as a superior throw. Albany's Ronald Jumcrson won Ihe pole vault with a jump of 13'7" after missing all three attempts at I4'0". Dane Jeff Garcia had a good day vaulting I2'0" for second place. In Ihe track events, Albany dominated from the first race taking first place in every svent but one. The 4xl00-mcter relay or Mike Riggins, Pat Saccocio, Scott Suchs, and Eric Newton beat out the Colonials' relay despite some messy handoffs. The winning time was 44.0 seconds. Freshman Ian Clements proved himself one very hungry runner by winning the 10,000-inctcr run in a (rack and school record lime of 33:03. Albany's distance squad swept the event as Cristopher Callaci and Pete Wamsleker got second and third place respectively. The pent-up competitiveness of the Dane squad became evident as the Albany team went on to trample opponents selling three more irack records in the process. In the 1,500-meter run, Dane sophomore Jim Erwin led ihe big pack from the gun, outkicking his big-name SUNY rival, Kurt Kroemer in the last 100 meters, Erwin's lime of 4:00.1 is his best by a lull eight seconds, as well as being the day's second irack record. "I took it out very fast lo make sure it would be a good race," Erwin said. "1 was ready today." Captain Nick Sullivan was also ready. He took third in the 1,500 with a very quick lime of 4:06. Freshman Bruce Van Tassel worked his hurdle magic yet again winning both Ihe 110-meter high hurdles and the 400-meter intermediates. Van Tassel broke his own irack record in Ihe highs wilh his first place lime of 15.1 seconds in a close race against Ihe quality Binghamlon hurdlers. In Ihe 400-meter intermediates, ' however, Van Tassel was all alone leading from gun lo tape and finishing in 57.8 seconds.

The Albany sprint squad had a field day against the Colonials and ugainst the clock, rlrst there was the 400-meter dash, where captain Eric Newton broke his own track record and took first place. After cruising through the first 110, Newton shifted gears and walked away from the rest of the field blasting through Ihe lape in 49.3 seconds. Senior Scon Sachs just barely losl a dual wilh Blnghamlon's Higgins for Ihird place. Both runners were timed at 51.6 seconds. Saturday's meet also marked Ihe return of senior sprinter Mitchell Harvard to full comoctition strength. Running like a runaway train, Harvard led an Albany sweep of the 100-incicr clash winning in a blistering lime of 10.7 seconds and establishing a new track record. Mike Riggins was second in 10.8 and Pat Saccocio was third in II.I seconds. Riggins came back to lead a sweep of the 200-meter dash where Riggins, Newton and John Reilly leaned together at Ihe tape. Riggins and Newton were both limed at 22.6 seconds with Reilly at 22.7. By far ihe fastest race of ihe day was the SOO-mcicr run, where all of the top six runlers wenl under two minutes. Freshman Tony Ri/zo look fifth in 1:59.2 and 1,500 winner Jim Erwin took fourth in 1:58.9. Both times were personal bests. The action was up from where Dane Noel Woodburn led from the siarl setting a very fast pace. Colonials Chris Allegro and Mark Siller pulled even with 200 lo go, bin Woodburn held '.hem off all the way to ihe tape. Woodburn's personal-best lime of 1:56.4, tenths of a second ahead of his rivals. The excitement carried over into the 5,000-meier run where Albany's Ed McGill battled back and forth wilh Blnghnmton's Kroemer. The lead changed hands six limes before McGill maJc his last bid with 200 meters to go, only to be outkicked in the last ten meters. Kroemer finished in 15:25.0 to McGill's 15:25.8. Fittingly, Albany won the last event, ihe 4x400-meter relay. Riggins, Newton, and Woodburn gave he lead to Pat Saccocio who went wild running his leg in an unofficial split of 49.2 seconds. "It was a great meet," said head coach Bob Munsey. "1 am a happy man."

With a chance to finally lake their bats and gloves outdoors to game compctilion, the Danes swept all Ihrcc games in the Albany Invitational, capturing first place, improving their season record to 7-2 and running their winning streak to seven games in a row. Originally scheduled to be played on Friday and Saturday, the Invitational was made a one day affair as a result of the inclement weather. This forced the teams representing the four University centers lo play all three games ii one day, beginning at 9:00 in the morning. Showing their eagerness to get back in the swing of competition, the Danes opened with a 5-0 shutout of the Binghamton Colonials. Freshman pitcher Wendy Williams tossed a complete game two-hit shutout in registering her fourth win of the campaign and her first shutout. As it turned out this was just the beginning of that was lo be a long and successful day for Williams and the rest of her teammates. Albany jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Nancy Doyle rapped a one-out single to left field and stole second base. Nancy Halloran singled putting runners at first and third, and Chris Cannata then singled for a 1-0 Albany lead. Tracy Kirk followed with Albany's fourth straight base hit, making the score 2-0 and giving Williams all the runs she needed.

Albany made a number of key plays defensively early on keeping Binghamton from gel- and one out in the first inning, second baseman Caryl Meyer made a diving stop on a ground ball, turning a possible RBI single into ihe second out. In the second, the Colonials had a runner on second with Iwo gone. Meyer then misplayed a bad-hop grounder, but recovered the ball that hud bounced behind her and threw the runner out at Ihc plate, Williams then helped bail herself out In the third, as she chalked up her third strikeout of the game with the bases loaded and two out. She then had no further trouble, retiring 13 of the last 14 batters she faced. In the second game Albany had ihcir only real scare of the tournament, as they had to come from four runs down to edge the Stony Brook Patriots 6-5 in nine innings. After falling behind 1-0 the Danes tied it in . their half of the fifth. Cannata executed a perfect suicide squeeze bunt, and Halloran crossed the plate with the tying run. Stony Brook then roughed up Williams for four runs in Ihe sixth, and the Danes were down 5-1 as they came to bat in ihe bottom of Ihc Inning. Albany managed to scratch out four runs without the benefit of a hit. Siasia Deals led off with a walk. After two outs Meyer, Doyle, and Halloran drew bases on balls, making (he score 5-2. Two more runs came home on a wild pilch, with Doyle coming home all Ihe way from second as Binghamton made a number of poor throws on Ihe play, making Ihe score 5-4 and bringing the Danes within striking distance, Albany fought back lo tie it in Ihe last of the seventh. Kirk led off with a base hit to left, and Wallace drew a walk. Deals then attempted to move the runners up with a sacrifice bunt, but Kirk was thrown out at third on a very close call. Things looked bad for Albany as Diane Fernandes popped lo short for the second out, but Williams then kepi Ihe rally alive with a base hit to load Ihc bases.

The stickmen played with tremendous intensity and blew away the Oswego Stale Lakers, 11-5, this past Saturday. "We were psyched lo play," said Don Casadonte, who led the Danes with five goals and two assists. "We had a lot of heart and intensity," added John Reilly, who had a pretty good game himself with three goals and one assist. Bob Venier scored twice and David Faust netted the other Albany goal. Alan Cornfield had a super game in goal as he turned away 20 shots. A solid Dane defense, led by Joe Campbell, Billy Watson, and Peter Wong, helped Albany improve its record to 5-3. Casadonte scored the first goal of the game five minutes into the opening quarter. Campbell led a rush up the field and then fed Casadonte in front of the net, who promptly put Albany up 1-0. Less than four minutes later, the Danes went up 2-0 on an unassisted goal by Faust. Oswego closed the gap to 2-1, cashing in on a power play at 10:24. But John Rcilly's" sweep goal at 12:07 gave Albany a 3-1 advantage after the first period. Two minutes into the second quarter, a defensive lapse found an Oswego player all alone in front of the Great Dane net. Cornfield had no chance, and the lead was cut to 3-2. An Oswego power-play goal five minutes later tied the game up, and it looked like the momentum was swinging toward the Lakers. "After those power-play goals, we figured out how to defend against them," said Cornfield, "From then on, they really didn't generate any shots when they were a man up." , The Danes began lo check well and swarm ling in a rebound shot at 6:56.

The tone of the game changed completely when Campbell leveled a thrashing check on Tony Spinella. This rallied the Albany bench, and it also rallied the players on the field, as things began getting a bit rough. Albany's checking and hustle led to another goal at 6:16 when Casadonte scored on a superb pass from Venier. Oswego looked perplexed as the Danes now led 7-3. Then the backbrcakcr came. An unsportsmanlike penalty on Oswego enabled Albany to wrap up the game. Reilly look a pass from Casadonte, who was stationed behind Ihe net. He then zinged it home in the top left corner. "That was just basically our free lance offense," Reilly commented. "I was just looking to get open." Less than a minute later, the same combination struck again. Casadonte was behind the net, and he fed Reilly close in front. That goal made it 9-3. "This goal was a set play. I just cut across the crease and he threw it in front," Reilly said. Cornfield had a relatively quiet period in the net. A frustrated Oswego team began to play rough, but while they took the penalties, Ihc Danes happily took the goals.

SA selects new officials for the upcoming year By Heidi Gralla STAFF WRITER Running unopposed, Bob Helbock and Lisa Kerr were elected lo the positions of chair and vice-chair respectively in Central Council's elections Wednesday night. Central Council also approved SA President Rich Schaffcr's appointments of Adam Barsky as controller; Richie Golubow, Director of Student Programming; Vivian Vazquez, Minority Affairs Coordinator; and Libby Post, SA Media Director. Helbock, entering his third year on Council, said he believes the chair's role is to act as a "mediator." "I don't consider myself Ihe 'ruler' of Council," explained Ihc off-campus representative and former two-year chair of Council's Intercollegiate Athletics Committee. Helbock noted that he hopes to cut down on some of the friction that existed this year between the executive branch and Council. "The Chair should act as a go-between from Ihe 35 members of Council to the executive branch," he said, adding lhat he, Sclultci, Kerr and SA vice president Jeff Schneider "have a very good rapport." Kerr agreed pointing out that all four have worked together as Central Council members this year. Kerr, an off-campus representative, said the position of Vice-Chair "has always been sort of played down" and she'd like to "build it into more of a leadership position." She maintained, however, thai her plans for changes arc not intended to criticize past Vice-Chairs. "I plan to build up the position to be a more working position," the former Internal Affairs Committee Chair asserted, noling that she plans to become more involved with committee work to ensure efficiency. Although the presidential appointments »verc approved with only one Council Tietnber voting no on any of them, there were several abstentions, and some members later expressed various reservations about the ap- A few members said they abstained because ihcy either didn't know Darsky or were unsure of Schaffcr's choice, but didn't want to vote in opposition because they said they trusted Schaffcr's judgment. Schaffer said he chose Darsky over Ihc other Iwo applicants because Barsky had past experience, is able lo deal with a lot of issues at once, and he's "personable — easy to get alone with."

Colonial Quad representative Nancy D. Killian abstained "because ullhough he (Barsky) has extensive academic experience in the realm of controller, I don'l believe that this background can replace actual SA experience, which he seems to lack. . , I don't believe he was the most qualified candidate." Adam Barsky Richie Golubow Vivian Vazquez Libby Post "The most important relationship in Ihc SA office is between Ihe president and the controller. I can work best with Adam (Barsky)," Schaffer commented. Former SA controller Dave Schncyman said Barsky "will have problems initially because of his lack of internal experience." Barsky, however, contends this will work to his advantage because he'll be starting "on a fresh slate." Golubow's appointment as Director of Student Programming was approved by Council 20-1, with two abstentions. However, several Council members had questioned Golubow's appointment prior to the meeting, because Golubow had been Schaffcr's campaign manager and did not have extensive experience with the Ihc internal aspects of SA. Former Director of Student Programming Mark Wcprin maintained thai this is not a problem. "The programming director is supposed lo be an advocate for the SA groups (he/she) doesn't have to be someone with SA experience," he commented. Golubow said he plans to "work closely" with all the SA-funded and recognized groups. "I'd like to meet with all the group leaders and just go over a lot of the scry small things lhal go on in SA," such as vouchers and finance policy, he explained. Vivian Vazquez was approved by Council unanimously for her position as Minority Affairs Coordinator, a new position, created by SA this year. Vazquez will receive a stipend of $1,350 and her own office within Ihe SA suite, Vazquez said she plans to "get the minority groups together to become a more visible group on campus, especially through SA." Further, she hopes to provide a focal point for minority groups anu avoid overlap of events sponsored by minority groups. Post has been SA Media director for several years. She said she is planning to put "a number of key issues in the forefront next iycar." Pornography on campus, women's safely, and communication between SA and minority groups are the key issues she mentioned. D
