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

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.

"The weather this spring has just been

"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

Ihey arc still puddles in the infield and they

for us lo repair il. This makes it exceedingly

Recent rape spurs women to march in protest
By Amcy Adams
STMT WRITER
In a direct response to the rape on campus
April 15, about 50 people, mostly women,
joined in a chanting protest lhal circled the
podium yesterday aflcrnoon.
One of Ihe organizers of the rally, Feminist
Alliance member Adrian Schrek.was impressed will) Ihc turnout at the rally, she said, considering lhal il was organi/cd very quickly by
ihe Feminist Alliance over the weekend. 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. Women should be
aware of the dangers lhal face us."
Carter emphasized that women be aware
of ihe rape problem saying, "Il is Important

us." She stressed that women be .Ware al all

on Central America, according to the First Secretary of
Ihe Nicaraguan Embassy in Washington, Francisco
Cambell, He said other Latin American experts were
featured al Ihis weekend's conference, titled Central
America anil the Caribbean; Crisis and Revolt, held in the
Campus Cenler.
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

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,

by U.S. standards) lo 22 percent in 1976. Puerto Rico, he

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.

Rescuers revel in note
Mount Vernon, Kentucky
(AP) Two rescue divers found a handwritten
note Monday that said eight amateur
spelunkers, trapped two days ago in a
southeastern Kentucky cave by rising water,
were alive and in good condition.
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.
Tom Staubitz, vice chairman of the
Greater Cincinnati Grolto, the club to which
the explorers belong, joyously announced the
finding.
The note indicated all eight were "active
and moving around," he said.
The decision noted, however, thai legislaion is pending to remove the duties from Ihc
jfflce of the county clerk because of the
"substantial operating deficits and practical
difficulties" of counties administering stale

Job blackmail. 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

and our health," contended Grossman,

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

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."

LISA SIMMONS UPS
pciidilure Review (LCER), which was based on a report ol
11 SUNY campuses.
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."

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,

Then the couple applied to leave the country for ihe U.S., said Cordis, As a result,
"Ihey were both fired from their positions.

in Israel, explained Gordis, but he and his
wife did not want to risk carrying it. If It was
found, the family could get into a lot of trouble, he explained. "So we memorized their

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.
Of these two groups, the religious Jews arc
better off, explained Gordis, "because ihcy
have their religious beliefs and praclices to
hold on t o . " The Zionists are frustrated, he
added, because they are simply being barred
from going to Israel.
"We have lo put pressure on the Russians
to release the Jews," Gordis maintained.
"We have to make noise; try wriling lo your
Congressman," said Gordis, when asked
what Ihe people of Ihe U.S. could do lo help.
The Russians will deal with you if you of'er them something in return, he claimed.

When the lineup for this particular concert was announced, It seemed almost too
good to be true . 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

Johnette's first olfering was "Tin Can

his current group, Special Edition. For this
number, Brignola was right al home on his
favorite instrument, the baritone sax,

Brignola stayed right with him with ,i rousing alto solo, closing the show with still
another display of talent.
The concert was marked by one

telepathic relallonslp between DeJohnelle

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.

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.

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.

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."

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-

mg Chad or Cuban occupied Angola? Examples like these
go on seemingly forever. 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.

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.

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?

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

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

of Telethon.

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 to 6.6 percent—lhan their public school
colleagues.
O f all administrators surveyed, deans o f medicine
received Ihe highest salaries, $86,700, followed by law
school deans al $67,787.
Nursing administrators al student health centers
made the least al $16,640, followed by bookstore
directors ut $18,740.
Women und minorities continue lo be ihe lowest
paid administrators, Compared to their white male
counterparts, women earn 44.8 percent less and
minorities make 37.2 percent less, the slttdy shows.
Miller says a number o f factors, such as length o f
employment, could explain Ihe disparity between

Pay increases of faculty declining in
colleges and universities nationwide
W A S H I N G T O N , D.C. (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

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.

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

economy goes sour again.

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

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

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."

(CPS)-One school has at last offered to let Richard Nixon build a
presidential library on its campus.
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.

seniors. "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

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. Jones broke
the school record with her very fast time of
67.1 seconds, which gave her second place
honors overall. Tcss Calma and Eileen Peppard both had personal best times in the intermediate hurdles.

The women's track team performed admirably In taking fifth place In the Cortland
Invitational on Saturday afternoon.
Jones, Tess Calma, and l.inelle Skerrill
finished fourth in a close finish. The team's
time of 51.7 is not far from the naiional
qualifying mark.
Heath also ran her season's best open
400-meter dash, finishing in a quick 1:00.1 lo
take third overall. She later led off the third
place 4x400-meler relay of Heath, Skerritt,
Burnham, and Jones who ran 4:14.
Other fine performances came in ihe 800
and the shot. Captain Sarah Cawley won her
heal of ihc 800-meter run wilh her personal
best time of 2:34.3. Mary Randalls threw the
shot over ten meters consistently and finished
seventh overall.
"The team was ready lo really pop and it
showed in our times," Cawley said.
"1 think Ihis meet was a good indication of
what could happen in the post-season,"
White said. "Our dual meet wilh Binghamlon this Tuesday should help encourage the

our schedule should help us out."
Indoor soccer team excels

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

to play together as a leam, as witnessed by

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

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

the tape in a very gutsy finish covering the
distance in 59.6 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

Softball team takes first in Albany Invitational
By Mark I.evinc
A SSOCIA TE SFOR TS EDITOR
Alter not playing in a game for nine day!
and being confined to practicing indoors during the recent snowstorms, the Albany Stale
women's softball team had to be ecstatic
when they awoke early Saturday morning to
bright sunshine and clear skies. 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 increased the lead to 4-0 by scoring
twice more in the bottom of the fifth. With

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

runs in Ihe sixth, and the Danes were down

without the benefit of a hit. Siasia Deals led

Stickmen top Oswego as Casadonte nets five
By Mark Wilgard
STAFF WHITER
Right from the opening face-off, it was apparent that the Albany State men's lacrosse
team had every intention of extending their
winning streak to three games. 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."

behind the net, he put in his third goal while
falling down.
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.
Casadonte capped off the third quarter

has no more money to spend on this event.
"We have already spent over $3,000 in getling Ihe bands, the kegs (40), and providing
for insurance." SA will be liable, and will
lose litis money if the event is not held, he
said.
"Events like this have been going on at
Washington Park with no problems for Ihc
past couple of years," said Schaffer, "there
is no basis for this." He added that the permil was signed April IB, but lhal preparations have been underway since ihe initial request was made in the beginning of February.
"We wenl around like everything was fine.
We got insurance, obtained a beer permit and
a special events permit, somebody should
have told us if there was a problem," Schaffer asserted. "Nol until a couple of days

city docs not have the right to cancel Ihe
event, because, Mishler said, "there Is nol
specification in Ihe permit about the right of
the city to cancel." Schaffer criticized Ihc
functioning of ihe city government, saying,
"they seem lo be Issuing permits blindly."

The "Party In the Park" scheduled at
Washington Park this Sunday is cancelled
because of "security problems," according
lo Albany city officials. SA President Rich
Schaffer said that he still considers the event
on.
Schaffer said he hopes thai they can work
something out with the city, but if the city officials attempt to cancel Ihc event, SA Attorney Mark Mishlcr will file an injunction in
court to prevent Ihc attempts of the officials,
Mishler met in negotiations Thursday with
Ihe Lawyer for ihe City of Albany, Vincent
McCardlc, to try lo reach some sort of compromise. According to Mishler, McCardle
said that the event was cancelled because,
"the police said that they could nol handle
the number of people that would be there."
Schaffer estimated that approximately 1,200
people would turn out for the event. McCardle, however, could nol be reached for comment.

"worried about a student uprising, about Ihc

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."

poinlmcnls, particularly thai of Darsky for

eight abstentions.
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."

"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.
