The Albany State lacrosse team showed great character by coming Irom behind
to beat Buffalo State Saturday afternoon, 13-12.
and the Danes were being stymied by the
superb play of Buffalo State goalie Bob
Slate. "We had to start shooting well; he was
making great saves," said Casadontc
Albany made it 4-2 when Venicr put In a
beautiful over the shoulder goal, with an
assist from Casadontc. "That was a fast
break goal," commented Vcnicr. "Don just
fed it to me on the wing."
The teams traded goals and Ihc Danes
trailed 5-3 at the half. Rick Trizuno scored
Albany's third goal when he put a shot by
Slate on a pass from Joe Pallseno.
The third quarter was marred by both controversy and excitement. A tenacious Buffalo
State Icam made it 6-3 at the 45 second mark.
Kenny DaRoseut it to 6-4, putting a dribbler
by Slate at 5:38. But once again the defense
faltered, resulting in a 7-4 Bengal lead at
6:09.
Back and forth the teams went, as
Ccrny tapped in a pass from Casadontc less
than a minute later, making the score 7-5.
DaRosput in his second goal of the period at
8:30, and the electricity was flowing on the
Great Dane bench.
Albany finally got the tying goal on a
power play two minutes later. David Faust
took a pass from Casadontc, who was stationed in his customary position behind the
net. Faust put it in, and the Dunes were rolling now as Ihc game was all even at 7-7.
The furious paced third quarter then look
a turn for Ihe worse. At ll:IO the Bengals
regained the lead on a controversial goal. A
delayed penally was being called on Albany
when the ball hit the post, then the ground
and went right Into the hands of a Buffalo
State player. He scored, making it 8-7, but
the Danes felt the whistle should have blown
as soon as the ball hit the field. They received
no such help from Ihe officials. "It was sad
for both teams that the game was tainted by
poor officiating," said assistant conch Gary
Campbell. "Both teams were hurt equally by
An Albany bench penalty soon after that
led to another Buffalo State score and the
wild third quarter came to a close with the
Bengals leading 9-7.
The fourth period is where Albany showed
its determination. Twice they fell behind by
three goals and fought back. "The running
we did all week in practice really paid off,"
Casadontc said. "We just didn't give up."
An early Buffalo State score made it 10-7,
but two quick goals by Vcnicr and Casadontc
cut it to 10-9, and there were still over 13
minutes left to play.
A relentless Bengal team came right back
al 2:23 to make it 11-9, and a power play goal
at 2:58 gave Buffalo Stale their fourth three
goal advantage of the day. "We weren't expecting them lo be this lough," commented
Ccrny. "We just came out In the fourth
quarter determined to do it."
Rich Staracc made it 12-10 with an
unassisted goal at 6:58. Two minutes later
Casadontc completed his hat-trick and
Albany suddenly was trailing only by one.
Then, with 2:50 remaining, Venicr found
himself all alone in front of Ihc Bengal net.
He netted his third of the day and Albany
finally tied things up at 12-12. "The ball was
behind the cage, the goalie had it, bul Dave
(Ccrny) hit him and the ball popped right In
my stick," described Vcnicr.
Twenty-three seconds later, the Danes sent
Ihc Bengals home as a wide open Ccrny
slammed home the winner. Albany had come
away with a hard fought 13-12 victory.
"We showed a lot of character the way we
came back," said a happy Albany head
coach Mike Motta. "Trizano had a great
game facing off, and overall it was a good
day."
Campbell added, "It's been the same thing
all year; we came through when wc had to.
We just outhustled them that final quarter."
One quick look at some statistics reveals this.
Albany had the edge in groundballs, 81-49,
and in shots on goal, 58-32.

Cinema board faces additional investigations
comment. The others could not be reached.
Schaffer noted they were all "really
seared."
He said thai he preferred that SA, rather
than Ihe administration do the prosecuting al
judicial council. "I think Ihe administration
will just be lough," Schaffer maintained, "I
will be tough bul compassionate.I know all
that they've already suffered."
Dean of Student Affairs Neil Drown commended Schaffer on handling Ihe situation
"very responsibly."
Brown said Ihc Judicial Council sends their
recommendation lo ihe Student Affairs Office where a final decision is made. He noted
thai Ihc outcomes on any indicia! case can
range from a disciplinary warning, lo probation, lo restitution, lo suspension, lo
dismissal, which is irreversible.
Brown added that Ihe Judicial Council
plans to gel lo Ihis as quickly as possible. The
earliest it would be dealt with is Ihe middle of
next week.
Brown reported the situation to the
District Allorney earlier Ihis week. He contended that as a slate officer, he was required
lo do Ihis.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Daniel
Dwyer said he has instructed ihe University
Police to conduct a "general Investigation in
order to ascertain if certain people have
broken the law."
He said the agrcemenl Schaffer made will]
ihc executive board, which Schaffer claims is
••till binding, has no hearing on whether or
not the District Allorney decides to prosecute, "Thai couldn't alter Ihe I'acl thai a
crime was committed, II could have an effect
on n possible plea or plea bargain negotiation." Dwyer commented,
This issue has received extensive local
media coverage. Krome publically admitted
in the Wednesday edition of the Schenectady
Gazelle that he had taken Ihc money.
"Whatever I deposited was Ihe deposit. But
it's just that along Ihe way it didn't all gel
there," he said,
"The hooks were really a mess," Schuffer
noted, "ihey were keeping their own
numbers and handing in phony ones." SA
became aware of Ihis mutter when, several
weeks ago, an informant brought it lo their
attention. SA officials refused lo give the
name of Ihe informant. The executive board
had pocketed the money by "fudging" the
number of tickets sold listed on Ihc
manager's sheets; Krome was periodically
handing out envelopes with up lo $30 in
ihem, according lo Schaffer.
Schaffer said that all six members had admilled last week thut they had taken Ihc
money.
Schaffer said he's taken several slcps lo
rectify ihe problem and prevent recurrences
in Ihe future, He's contacted SA's insurance
agent about the possibility of bonding the

This year, for the I'irsi lime, eight lull
loams have been selected lo participate in a
separate "leant championship," which will
lake place from May 9-11.
The individual singles and doubles championships will then follow, beginning on
Thursday, May II, and concluding Sunday,
May 15.
The formal was altered by Ihc ITCA (Inter
Collegiate Tennis Coach Association) lo
allow for a "Inter leant champion," according lo Lewis.
Out of Ihe eight clubs competing in Ihc
team championships, four tire from California.
The entries are California University (Sanla Cruz), California University (San Diego),
II of Rcdlnnds (California), ClurcmonlMudd, Oustavus Adolphus (Minnesota),
Kalamazoo(Michigan), Swurlhmore College
(Pennsylvania), and U of Rochester, which
will be Ihc only representative of New York.
The favorite going into lite leant tournament is Rcdlnnds, who Is ranked number one
by the ITCA power rulings.
Rcdlnnds boasts iwo players who arc ranked al Ihe lop of the ITCA singles rankings,
Joe Alamo and -Erie-Mlchnelson. Though
Michaclson is ranked one, Alamo is favored
by many lo lake ihc singles tournament
which will include 64 players.
The dark horse team lo watch out for is
another California squad, Clnlrmonl-Mudd,
Their mosl feared player Donovan Junes,
who won Ihc championship in 1981 bill sal

Albany trackmen race past Hamilton, 102-61 Danes will host NCAA national championships

A combination of strong winds and lack of
stiff competition slowed the winning times on
the track where the Albany State men's track
and field Icam routed Hamilton by a scorfof
102 to 61 al University Track last Saturday.
"This was not a high pressure meet," said
captain Paul Mancc. "The only pressure was
on those people who still have to qualify for
post-season meets."
The lack of pressure showed in the shot put
where Dane thrower Bill Nason look first
place with an uninspired loss of 14.30 meters.
Similurly, Marc Mercurio won the discus
with no trouble. Returning after a short
layoff, Mercurio threw the disc 44.24 meters
for first place honors. Dane thrower Ken
Yanneck got third place for his throw of
39.12 meters. It was a different story in Ihe
hammer throw, where Ihc Continentals had
their strongest performance of the day. Torn
I amhdiu threw the nammer 49.6 meters, well
over the tough national qualifying mark lo
lake first place, overpowering Mercurio in his
weak event. Mcrcurio's solid toss of 45.5
meters took second place honors.
Hamilton also won the javelin in another
strong performance! Steve Morrison took
first with a throw of 51.19 meters. Albany's
Peter Mario's toss of 49.35 meters got second.
Despite these setbacks Albany went on to
dominate the jumps and Ihc hurdles. Dane
vaultcrs Rcj .lamcrson and Jeff Gar/ia look
first and second respectively in the pole vault.
Jamerson's winning height was 13*8".
It was a big day for Mancc, who won both
the long jump und triple jump. Mance's
superior winning leap of 6.56 meters in the
long jump demolished his previous personal
bcsl of 6.37 mclcrs. "I was kind of surprised
.
myself," said Mancc. Bill Waring jumped
6.19 meters for third place. Later, in the triple jump, Mancc pop, pop, popped 13.52
meters lo take first place.
Dane hurdler Bruce Van Tussel won boih
Ihe hurdle races for the third straight time
this season. Van Tassel ran virtually alone in
the 110-meter high hurdles, where his winning time of 15.4 seconds wns almost three full
seconds ahead of the sole Hamilton entrant.
Later, Van Tassel led an Albany sweep of Ihc
400-mcler Intermediate hurdles, winning it in
58.5 seconds. Rcj Jamcrson and Bill Waring
took second and third, respectively.
In the first relay event, the Albany team of
Mike Riggins, Pal Saccocio, John Reilly, and
Eric Newton walked away from their
Hamilton c o u n t e r p a r t s to win the
4xl00-metcr relay. Albany then swept the
1500-melcr run. Sophomore Jim Erwin led
the race from the gun, setting Ihe pace in Ihe
stiff wind. Dane captain Nick Sullivan was
unable lo catch Erwin as bolh kicked into ihe
wind on the homestretch finishing lirsl and
second, with Albany's Noel Woodburn a distant third. Erwin's winning time was 4:06.4
to Sullivan's 4:07.0.
The Danes also dominated the sprints, going one-two in both the 400 and 100-meter
dashes. Captain Eric Newton labored In the
wind to lake first in the 400 with his lime of
51.0 seconds. Senior Scull Sachs finished
close behind, taking second in 51.6 seconds.
Mike Riggins won the 100-meter dash, breaking the tape in 11.0 seconds as Pal Saccocio
leaned out Hamilton's Gugnon lo take second place. Bolh runners were limed al 11.3
seconds. Riggins later blew off Gugnon In Ihc
200-meter dash, winning that event In a slow
23.1 seconds.
Hamilton bounced back to win bolh the
800-inetcr run and the 5000-meter run. "Just
.
to take a break," 800-meter ace Noel Wood
burn ran the 1500-meter run, leaving Ihc 800
to Bill Browcr of Hamilton, who led from the
tape to win in a slow lime of 1:59.8. Albany's

NRC warns nukes
Washington, D.C,
(AP) The Indian Point power plants in
Westchester County will be shut down next
month unless their owners improve plans for
responding to nn emergency, the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission said Thursday.
The Indian Point complex, 30 miles north
of New York City, would be the first In the
nation to be closed on the grounds that
authorities arc unable lo ensure that a surrounding 10-milc /one can be quickly
evacuated. That requirement was imposed
after Ihe 1979 accident at Three Mile Island
in Pennsylvania.
Utility spokesmen, who claim Indian
Point's current preparations are adequate,
nonetheless said they will lake sieps to satisfy
the NRC before Ihe June 9 deadline Ihe commission set for its final action.
Some critics o f the utilities hailed the com-
mission's unanimous vote as a victory in their'
fight to close the plants, while others said the
NRC should have ordered an immediate
shutdown.
" I f emergency planning is to have any
meaning, we must be prepared to do what we
said we w o u l d , " Commissioner John F.
Ahearnc said. " M a n y people are watching to
see If we stand behind our regulations.
I f we do not, I expect emergency planning

Freeze vote passes
Washington, D.C.
(AP) Both sides claimed victory after the
House passed by a hefty 129-vote margin a
long-debated resolution calling for a " m u t u a l
and verifiable freeze" on U.S. and Soviet
nuclear arsenals.
Republicans allied with President Reagan
in opposing the measure said they won
crucial language linking a freeze with
weapons reductions. Freeze advocates,
however, asserted that the basic aim o f
halting the superpower arms race had emerged unscathed.
"This is a unique instance in the history of
arms c o n t r o l , " declared House Speaker
Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. (D-Mass.) just before
Wednesday's 278-149 final vole on the
resolution, which had grown out of a
grassroots freeze movement spreading nationwide from a handful o f town meetings.
The vote — culminating more than 40
hours of debate over six days — came after
GOP leaders seized on the announcement of
a new Soviet arms reduction proposal, saying
Moscow's offer showed Ihe need for giving
Reagan more negotiating flexibility,
The freeze resolution, which is nonbinding and largely symbolic, now goes to Ihe
Republican-controlled Senate, where Its fate
is uncertain.

Eraslus Corning II will never be well
enough to go back lo work, according lo
Thomas Whalen, President of Albany's
Common Council, and next in line 10 be
Mayor of Albany,
Speaking al a press conference in a
SUNYA journalism closs Tuesday night,
Whalen, who is in effect the acting mayor,
admitted thai ihe city has been having some
problems running smoothly with its mayor,
lighting lor his life, in a Boston hospital and
out of touch with city affairs since Oeiobcr.
Asked whether people now feel cheated by
nol having a full-time mayor, Whalen said lie
Whalen said, day to day operations are eonducted largely by an informal committee
comprised of Whalen, Corporation Counsel
Vincent McArdlc, Comptroller Charles Hemingway, and Deputy Comptroller Bob Kukla.
Meeting once a week, " t h e four of us really
run ihe c i t y , " said Whalen, adding thai actual control could be narrowed down lo him
and McArdlc, who inccl every day.
Whalen downplayed Ihe possibility of n
power si niggle after Corning passes from the
scene he dominated lor so long. "Corning
wore two hats — County Democratic Chairman and mayor — which will nevei again he
worn by the same person," Whalen said.
" B u t I like 10 think the organization will remain in good shape. Mayor of Rensselaer Fd
"It is true the mayor has been out
of touch. But the mayor is still the
mayor in every way."
be remembered as a great m a n . "
Whalen described Coming's style during
his long tenure as being totally involved. " I f
a woman called to say her cat was stuck in a
tree in the p a r k , " said Whalen, " t h e mayor
himself would lake care of it rather than let
Ihe park supcrinlendenl handle it. Erastus
Corning thrived on this sort of t h i n g , " he added.
The recent controversy over a student request 10 use Washington Park for a party
figured prominently in the questions of ihe
Student audience. Whalen opened Ihe conference with a statement on Ihe subject. According 10 Ihe Albany Student Press, the
students organizing the parly felt they had
received permission 10 use the park and had
complied with city requirements, and held
lhal Ihe subscqucnl cancellation of their permission was discrimination against students
and a violation o f their Constitutional rights.
According to Whalen,.Albany Police Chief
Thomas I I . Burke called him anil said lhal
Police could nol handle Ihe expected crowd
of 121X1 on ihe grounds ol security, Whalen
said lhal nol knowing Ihe pcrnill had been
issued, he decided nol to lei the students use
the park. This resulted in a court action by
students, who won a temporary restraining
older and ultimately held Ihe party last Sunday.
— Common Council President Thomas Whalen
didn't ilunk one would hear many people
saying that, bill it was a pertinent question.
" I t is hue the mayor has been out of t o u c h , "
he said, " b u t Ihe mayor Is still the mayor in
every way. He is the longest tenured mayor in
tile city's history and a legend in his own
l i m e , " Whalen said, "and he deserves our
respeel." Even If people are dissatisfied, he
added, " n o one will challenge h i m . "
Although Corning has not formally lurncd
over any powers, Whalen is effectively serving as acting mayor as well as holding down
hi-, post as Common Council President and
maintaining u privute law practice, Regarding
his ability lo devoie only part of his lime to
running ihe city, Whalen said " 1 make my
living as a lawyer. I do Ihe best I can even
though I have two j o b s . "
With the mayor unable to run the city,
O'Brien is Coining's hand-picked successor
as County Chairman, and is pretty much unchallenged," said Whalen, also adding thai
he docsn'l ihink anyone is in a posilion to
challenge hitn foi mayor.
Whalen said he was awaie of Ihe hazards
of succeeding a person of Coining's stature,
hut that he is nol 100 concerned about it, and
lie emphasized lhal he planned no dramatic
action upon assuming office. " T h a i is a very
sensitive question," he said, "and I don't
ihink a dramatic act would be good for Ihe
city. There would be personnel changes —
gradually."
Asked whether Mayor Coining's image has
been tarnished in the last year by his failure
lo step down, Whalen said, " Y o u can answer
dial belter than I can. I hope in all his accomplishments, which are substantial, he will
The ASP also repotted lhal Whalen said he
was worried about a student uprising, but
Whalen said " l never said 10 anyone that I
was worried about a student uprising, I was
worried aboul Ihe Tulip Festival, which Is an
Important event lor the c i t y . " Whalen
asserted thai he fell students arc a great asset
to Ihe community, and lhal there needs lo be
more dialogue between the two groups.
Asked to comment on Ihe apparent lack of
coordination among branches of Ihe government in the Washington Park incident and a
similar Incident regarding a permit issued to
Key It.ml. lo erect a massive sign at the lop of
'ils downtown building, Whalen said, " T h i s is
1101 all thai uncommon. Hul alter having a
mayor lor 42 years, people gol used 10 relying
on him. Now tilings are falling between the

In a el fori 10 prevent misiips like
Washington Park and Ihe Key Hank sign,
Whalen said " W e have issued a memorandum to all people capable of issuing permits
saying thai ihey have 10 clear all permits with
me or McArdlc. I was uying to gel them lo
ihink how will their decision affect the
Police? ihe l i r e Department? Public
Works'.'"
The hour and a half press conference was
marked by incisive, sometimes sharp questioning, if al a rather slow pace, and close attention to Whalen by ihe students, and candid, thoughtful answers by Whalen, In his
final remarks, Whalen piaised the students
and advised litem that good relations between tile picss and public officials depends

" A favorable decision," according lo
former SA president Mike Corso, who has
been active in Ihe litigation, " w i l l allow

I'he temporary injunction issued by Judge
Neal McCurn applied only 10 Ulster and
Albany counties, ami is ill el'l'cci pending a
summary decision.
Members o f ihe New York Stale
Legislature have been working for several
years ID reform slate election laws along lines
similar I D ihe current suit. Most recently, (he
assembly passed a hill on April 27ih reflecting the position o f Ihe suit, and a companion
hill is currently in ihe Senate Elections Coinmince.
According I D Senator Martin Connor,
(D-Brooklyn) a member ol'tlie elections committcc, the bill would suike all discriminatory
criteria from current election laws.
"Courts have nol said students cannot

Republicans ugainsl. "Republicans lend to

" H i e bill will never come out of the committee" in ihe Republican dominated Senate,
he concluded.

Elections Committee Thomas Spar go,
however, said ihai the committee is waiting
for the courl to act before it docs. " T h e court

he said.
" I n view of the fact thai the court is moving toward establishing guidelines," said

Because they arc non-unionized, T A s / G A s have no
power as collective bargaining agents, said Heidi
Siegfried of SUNY Buffalo. She continued to say lhal
Ihe average T A / G A stipend o f $4,500 deserves a hike.
The maximum stipend is $6,900 Siegfried said, but added that, "very few make the m a x i m u m . "
Meanwhile, said Siegfried, unionized professors are
earning "cost-of-living increases (a nine-percent pay
raise last year) while we continue to get the average stipend. They really rely on graduates to teach."
GSEU is also seeking lo represent some 2,000
research assistants (RAs), but that proposal is uncertain at present because "they receive Ihcir stipends
from the SUNY Research Foundation", whereas we arc
paid from the SUNY b u d g e l , " said Gary Ciurczak, a
member of the union. Ciurczak said he is hopeful
PERB will recognize RAs also.
Nancy Casna, a T A in SUNYA's biology department, thought Ihe union was a good idea because i l
would enable TAs lo get group health insurance, impossible before because health insurance companies
wouldn't deal with the large turnover rales of TAs.
Casna also said Ihc union would bargain for
G A / T A salary increases which haven't kepi up with
inllation in recent years.
The union would also help gel written contracts, she
said. As il is now, Casna weni o n , there is nothing on
paper explaining exactly what is expected of ihe
T A / G A when he lakes the position. Not having clearly
written expectations leads to Ihe Ihe T A / G A ' s being
taken advantage over occasslonally, she said, although
"we've (biology TAs) been Healed well here," and arc
mainly interested in the health insurance.

A T A in SUNYA's liisiory department who wished

The sludcnl also said thai T A / G A positions are loo
Iransllory lo warrant a union, ihe longest term being

Increased benefits, the graduate assistant continued,
would nol affect Ihe quality of people trying lo gel ihc

" n ' l l l l L ' individual first introduced
himself to the university community when he ran
for office just over one year ago. A Student Association
President with such a major handicap was an incredible
thought.
The thought became a reality when Mike Corso was
elected to represent the students o f Albany Stale in
1982- 83. There seems little doubl that he was totally successful In overcoming what some people saw as an insurmountable obstacle. In fact at the end o f Corso's term comments seemed to concentrate on the man's strengths and
weaknesses as a president, not on his performance as' a
blind president.
Throughout his term, Corso's most meaningful contributions came from his voice as a student advocate. He led the
movement that brought a polling place to this campus.
State and Dutch Quads will have public voting booths next
November because SA challenged the County Board of
Elections in court and beat them. Corso also helped
students deal with many of the hassles they faced during
voter registration.
As president he was also effective in working with SASU
to combat the gross injustices proposed in the SUNY
budget. A massive lobbying efrort combined with well
planned suggestions helped to assure that NY State students
would not be priced out of higher education.
Closer to home, Corso worked hard on providing SA
with a fair and realistic budget — a balanced budget all
groups can find some satisfaction in. This accomplishment
is especially noteworthy, considering the fact that Corso
entered office with a budget deficit close to $90,000.
Corso, of course, had his weak points. At limes his
obsession with proving he was capable of the j o b led to too
much of a one man show. Perhaps somewhat of a more
communicative team player would have proven to be a bigger hit inside SA. Also his failure to address the programming problems at OCA was unfortunate.
Subtle discrimination
Over the last twenty years or so the United States has
sought to " I m p r o v e " the socio-economic conditions of
"minority groups". Ironically enough these much sought
after changes have in many instances appeased the concerns
of those In government and have led many " m i n o r i t i e s " to
believe that the struggle against racism and discrimination
is complete.
overt forms of j o b discrimination which were characteristic
of the sixties. Once again there is no difference between
these two forms of j o b discrimination — both deny
" m i n o r i t i e s " equal access to the economic fruits of the
American economy. However we have yet lo hear the
sounds of protest from the minoriles o f the eighties as we
did from the minorities of the sixiics.
Van Henri White
The frequency wilh which " m i n o r i i i e s " ignore or fail lo
perceive these subtle forms o f racism is all too frightening.
" M i n o r i t i e s " at SUNY at Albany appear to be convinced
that "although things are not as they should b e " conditions
are much better than they once were. Subsequently
" m i n o r i t i e s " of this campus have accepted the university's
affirmative action program and admissions procedures
which only increased minority enrollment by a mere tenth
o f a percent. " M i n o r i t i e s " on this campus also seem to accept the fact that their attendance here at the University
may be in vain, since very little is said or done o f the fact
thai only six percent of the managerial positions in the
United States are held by " m i n o r i i i e s . "
While
" m i n o r i i i e s " are not directly responsible for these forms
of discrimination they have failed to react againsl them in a
constructive, effective way and consequently they have contributed to their own demise.
However let us not confuse the "perpetralors" of racism
and discrimination — administrators, bureaucrats,
educators, politicans, etc, — with those whom are Ihc victims — the " m i n o r i t i e s . " Administrators, bureaucrats,
educators, employers and politicans have a pltilosphophical
and legal committment to the eradication of these subtle
forms of facism and discrimination. They have a
philosophical committment because American society cannot allow the perpetuation of policies which result in the
Both the United States government and the " m i n o r i t i e s "
it purports to serve have made a grave mistake if they feel
that racism and discrimination have been eradicated in this
country. To the contrary, racism and discrimination arc
alive and well in the United Slates, yet they manifest
themselves in subtler ways.
" M i n o r i t y " groups often fail lo perceive Ihesc subtler
manifestations of racism and discrimination policies since
they aren't as conspicuous as the ones which " m i n o r i i i e s "
faced in the sixties, and those typical of Aparthicd in South
Africa. For example the " m i n o r i t i e s " of this campus have
appeared to acquiesce to a recent manifestation of racism
which failed lo increase " m i n o r i t y " enrollment at llils
university in any significant way, while in the sixties
" m i n o r i t y " students became incensed by the segregated
public school system, and protested against it. There is no
difference between these two forms of racism because they
both deny equal access to public institutions. They both
deserved some form of protest yet the " m i n o r t i i c s " of this
campus have failed to act as their predecessors had.
It is also apparently much easier for " m i n o r i t i e s " o f this
campus to accept a forty-eight percent unemployment rate
for Black and Hispanic youths as opposed to accepting the
S
Corso's charismifeid accomplishments will leave a
lasting impression. Hbisability as SA President has made
students, faculty, andljministration aware of the fact that
the student body is a pberful voice on this campus and In
the state.

unequal Ircalmcnt of its various peoples. Theirs is a legal
committment because the Constitution and the Civil Rights
legislation of the sixties also requires equal treatment and
results for " m i n o r i t i e s " in American society. They cannot
negate their responsibilities by citing the complacency o[
contemporary " m i n o r i t i e s " on this campus or elsewhere,
A couple of things can be done in order to eliminate the
apparent complacency o f both administrator and "minorit y " on this campus. First we must rid ourselves ol Ihc term
minority when we are addressing Ihc particular problems of
Blacks, Hispanics, Pan Carribeans, the handicapped, etc,
To conglomerate Blacks, Hispanic, Orientals and the handicapped Into one class of people inevitably results
[noring Ihc different social, economic and political problems
which these separate groups face. In essence, having ignored Ihc different problems which Blacks, Hispanics, etc,
face, the term " m i n o r i i i e s " evades particular problems and
specific resolutions. Often the reason why subtle racism
escapes notice is because we fail to address which particular
group it effects. Instead we simply label such occurences as
" j u s t another manifestation o f discrimination and oppression against minorities" — subsequently we opt foi general
and vague resolutions.
Secondly, after having asserted the diversity ol then problems, Blacks, Hispanics, Orientals, Pan Carribeans, and
the handicapped must proclaim their needs In -i unified
manner. Oppression and " d i s c r i m i n a t i o n " can be utilized
as a means of bringing these groups together. A join lire
unifying force should not be that we are all " m i l ui ities"
rather it should be that major institutions, polio making
and resource distributing bodies have left our disci se needs
neglected, ignored, diffused, and abused. The t' ills difference between now and then is thai "discrlminati"oppression" is much subtler.

I remember when we did our first issue, last
June. We didn't have enough copy for our
centerfold, and as Megan and I tried to lay it
out, we kept finding ourselves in front of the
typesetter, typing In more copy in order to have
the centerfold look "balanced". We titled our
first centerfold "Great Expectations", for the Incoming freshman class. But looking back on it
now I believe our title was as much for the high
hopes we had for ourselves In the months that
were ahead. I felt a lot of pressure taking on the
job as editor, there were so many editors before
me that had put out a section that was held with
such high regard. The genius of the past editors
was ominous: from the Gissen and Matranga
legacy lo,trie creative sensitivity of Edelstein to
the com/c ingenuity of Andy Carroll- this all
spelled djJl an alphabet of clearly defined standards lljlai I felt obsessed to equal. I came to this
job wltpthat first and foremost in my mind, and
workuo with everything I had in order to fulfill
whal/f had promised myself I must accomplish.
My firmer editor, Mr. Dean Betz told me on a
couple of occasions that I did. Whether he was
sitply biased because I was "his Aspects editor"
I'/riever know. But the day he told me that will
br in my memory forever. True or not.
, Back when I was a freshman I cut out an
editorial written by Jay Gissen wherein he
spoke of time, and making the most of ones life.
I still have it today and it's been hanging up in
every place that I've lived in since. It signifies
more than a mere philosophical essay for me.
At that time in my life I looked at the ASP and
Aspects as something I could appreciate from
afar; for whatever reason, I was too intimidated
to approach this place then. In a sense that
editorial symbolized something I believed
myself, but was not ready to challenge. Well,
it's been four years since then, and although I
am where I always thought I wanted to be, alas,
all fairy tales don't come true. Typically
enough, this has been one of the hardest jobs
I've ever experienced in my life. It's a trite and
cliched realization, but I guess thats what

understanding. (Great Expectations???) I'd like
to thank Wayne Peereboom and Dean Betz for

sticking up for me in times of question. 1 d like
to thank all my writers for helping me put out

may sound strange, I'd like to thank Rob Edelstein and Stu Matranga for inspiring me to try to

been all that successful), and a very special,

me this priviledge in the first place, really w,U

I remember when we did our first issue, last
June. We didn't have enough copy for our
centerfold, and as Megan and I tried to lay it
, out, we kept finding ourselves In front of the
9 typesetter, typing in more copy in order to have
'* the centerfold look "balanced". We titled our
first centerfold "Great Expectations", for the incoming freshman class. But looking back on it
now I believe our title was as much for the high
hopes we had for ourselves In the months that
were ahead. I felt a lot of pressure taking on the
job as editor, there were so many editors before
me that hadput out a section that was held with
such high legard. The genius of the past editors
was ominous: from the Gissen and Matranga
legacy to.-trie creative sensitivity of Edelsteln to
the comic ingenuity of Andy Carroll- this all
spelled id\ an alphabet of clearly defined standards that I felt obsessed to equal. I came to this
job wlt|i that first and foremost in my mind, and
work* with everything I had In order to fulfill
what/had promised myself I must accomplish.
My firmer editor, Mr. Dean Betz told me on a
couple of occasions that I did. Whether he was
simply biased because I was "his Aspects editor"
['/never know. But the day he told me that will
br In my memory forever. True or not.
Back when I was a freshman I cut out an
./editorial written by Jay Gissen wherein he
I spoke of time, and making the most of ones life.
I still have it today and It's been hanging up in
every place that I've lived in since. It signifies
more than a mere philosophical essay for me.
At that time in my life I looked at the ASP and
Aspects as something 1 could appreciate from
afar; for whatever reason, I was too intimidated
to approach this place then. In a sense that
editorial symbolized something I believed
myself, but was not ready to challenge. Well,
it's been four years since then, and although I
am where I always thought I wanted to be, alas,
all fairy tales don't come true. Typically
enough, this has been one of the hardest jobs
I've ever experienced in my life. It's a trite and
cliched realization, but I guess thats what
idealization does for you. I'm not saying this
wasn't a good experience; as 1 write this the
fondest and happiest memories are flooding
back to me, but I've learned many difficult
lessons here, spent what it seems like decades,
of all-nighters drinking caffeine, and felt the
frustration of realizing all that you meant to express was often completely misconstrued.Yet
the magical moments were there also. And
many of them. But now it's over. I've finished

A Time To Celebrate
o

y association with UAS. Providing the entertainment this year will be U2, David
Johansen and Robert Hazard.

Hot on the tracks of their current big' selling album War, U2 will headline the
event. They are currently holding the *12
on the Billboard magazine L P . chart, and
the two smash singles from the album,
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New
Year's Day," have propelled War to the *1
position on the P.M. airplay charts nationwide War deals with a touchy subject for
the native Dubliners, the sectarian strife
(termed "the troubles") In Northern
Ireland. The opening track, "Sunday
Bloody Sunday," Immediately makes the
listener aware of the album's message. It
deals with the 1972 Incident in which 13
civilians were killed by British paratroopers
In an Illegal civil rights demonstration In the
Irish city of Londonderry. During the song,
lead vocalist Bono Vox (credited as
Hewson on the band's first album), cries
out, "How long? How long must I sing this
song?"
U2's 1981 debut album Bov established
the Irish rockers as a new band to watch.
Boy displayed a raw sound dominated by
the power guitar of "The Edge" Evans,
Bono's passionate vocals and the
danceablc beat carried by the bass-drums
duo of Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen
Jr., respectively. The album, which, examines the anxieties and uncertainties of
growing up, starts off on the right foot with
the hard-driving "I Will Follow," which Is
about a boy's emotional hardships In his
transition to manhood.
October was U2's second offering.
Keyboards were added to spice the band's
rugged, hard-driving guitar-bass-drum Inslrumenlals. The album, like Boy, touches
on a few specific areas, this time the theme
being romance and religion. The popular
fast-paced rocker, "Gloria," Is followed by
another strong track, "I Fall Down," which
blends subtle keyboards and vocals with
the Edge's familiar forceful guitar that U2 Is
best known for. On another note, the
touching slow-paced beginning of "Tomorrow" followed up by the title track ballad
"October" shows a side of the band not
previously displayed.
Definitely no strangers to the Albany
area after three full-house JB Scotts performances, U2 will be at their best In bringing
their enlarged repetolre of rock and roll to
Celebration '83. In describing their style,
Bono Vox states "We're not punk, new
wave or heavy metal. We're Just one band
and we do what we do." A special sldenote
to the show will be listening for the band's
Import single apporprlately entitled
"Celebration." So far on their tour, U2 (all
The Graduate
Andy Carroll: SUNY - Product Of An All-Nighter
under 22 years of age) have not been performing this fast-paced tune.
Playing In the number two slot to the hot
new act 1)2, will be veteran rock n'roller
David Johansen. Johansen, who has been
performing with his own band since the
breakup of The New York Dolls in
mld-70's, Is a Celebration veteran, having
appeared here at the 1980 Mayfest.
David Johansen, a Stalen Island native,
began his career In the early 70's as the
frontman for the NY.'Dolls, who were the
true precursors of the New York City punk
scene. In the Doll's, Johansen played with
Jonny Thunders and Sylvaln Sylvaln, and
together they gained much attention with
their 1973 debut album featuring the still
popular track "Personality Crisis". They
soon became very popular In the Greenwich Village club scene. Their second L.P..
quite appropriately entitled Too Much Too
Soon features another Johansen favorite
"Stranded In the Jungle".
Since the breakup of the Dolls,
Johansen has gone Into the studio for three
albums. The most popular of these albums
was his first solo project In 1978. Included
on this album are the popular "Girls,"'
"Frenchette" and the dance lilt "Funky But
Chic," Johansen's 1978 followup L.P. In
Sly/e Included the hit single "Melody,"
which vaulted his solo career onto the
charts. Most recently Johansen released his
second of two live albums, entitled Live It
Up, which is notable for It's versions of the'
Foundation's "Build Me Up Buttercup"
mid his popular Animals medley.
Opening this concert/festival will be
Robert Hazard, a Philadelphia native who
promises to Impress many with his distinct
rock and roll charisma. Since releasing his
debut E.P. on his own RHA Records,
Hazard has played not only as an opener
for bands like the Motels, but also as
aheadllner himself. Hazard has sold
60,000 plus copies of his independently
released E.P. In Phllly alone and recently
completed an MTV video of his huge hit
"Escalator of Life".
Ol the five tracks on the E.P., "Escalator
of Life" and "Change Reaction" are by far
the most popular. Escalator's technopop
sound Is balanced by the fastmoving, 60's
style rocker "Change Reaction." Together
these two tracks have helped propell this
record near the top 100 albums on the
charts.
Perhaps the biggest surprise on the E.P.
Is the very last song on the record and the
one which Hazard saves for his encore In
concert. The song Is a cover version of
Dylan's "Blowln in the Wind" in which
Hazard speeds the tune up 200 percent
and proves It to be an everlasting favorite of
all generations and styles of music.
Overall, the U2, Johansen, Hazard bill
promises to be highly entertaining. The
show Is exclusively lor SUNYA students
and alumni, who should come away from
the event highly "celebrated."

Call it what you will, Celebration.
Mayfest, or Fencefest. this year's outdoor
event means fun. The people at U.C.B.
and U.A.S. have worked long nights to
make this year's Celebration better than
ever, but It's up to you to enjoy it. Here are
a few suggestions to help you feel more at
ease In the throng of people attending this
year.
To begin Willi, the proper attire Is essential. It's clear thai a three piece suit with a
lie clip of your favorite CPA firm is out of
the question. It seems so simple, but most
novices still question their clothing. The
best advice Is to wear as little as possible
without being lewd or revolting. If you
think you're bordering on lewd, don't
worry, but if you're leaning towards
revolting, bring a large, brown paper bag.
No matter how many times you've made
fun of the basketball team, for this one day,
It's cool to show some school spirit and
wear anything that says SUNY Albany on
It, except maybe underwear. It's alright to
.drag out that old SUNYA shirt that you
bought during orientation. Leave all the "1
hate all this concrete" whlnlngs at home.
Shorts: Shorts are very a la mode, but
Jeans can be tolerated If the sun doesn't
shine. Cutoffs are very comfortable; they
say one of two things about a person.
Either you're too poor after paying tuition
to buy new clolhes, or you're trying too
hard to act cool. Gym shorts give the Illusion of being a Jock, but they're still great
lounging attire. Tennis shorts have a prep>JV)"»|jaoH]fM|i^court look. They exude
Slqn<< weren't the first plans considered
for trjeew State University In Albany. The
flrm/cHarrlson and Abramowltz came up
with n earlier design, with buildings scatters all about the 400 acre site. Yet
Ro<efeller had final say, and thanks to an
or-esslon with tunnels and towers that
vmld persist until his death he gave the
rkay to Stone's "Versailles." But I don't
lilnk we're supposing too much when we
lisped thai SUNYA might have been a
rushed Job. If not the product of an allnjghter, then certainly it is the result of Professor Stone having farmed out one Job too
money, so watch out for pickpockets.
S h o e s : Shoes are optional. One's th.i
can be kicked off In a hurry to snag an er
rant frlsbee are ideal. Leave all hiking boot
at home.
Hats: Hats are the most underrated com
ponent of a wardrobe. Not only do thej
keep your head from frying like an egg
they also say a lot about your personality
Anything goes, except crass hats wllh frul
dangling from them.
Shirts: Clothes make the person and th(
shirt makes the clothes. Again, anylhinc
goes except concert shirts, especially ni
Rush T-shirts. This Isn't high school.
Of course, we're all here for the music
Right? Wrongl Invariably, half the day will
be spent watching members of yout
favorite gender. The middle of the field wil
offer choice viewing. It's here that the famed 'close-up' can be had because people
are sitting on top of each other, Dark or
mirrored sunglasses are essential to spot
without being spotted. Nevertheless, every
seat has a good view of the crowd keep
those eyes open. For those who actually
want to see the band, the front has the besl
view, but If you are there lake a deep
breath as the crowd squeezes your elbows
Into your spleen. Perhaps the best view is
on someone else's shoulders.
For the non athletic, there's the worlds
slowest sport - lounging. It appears so easy
that anyone could do II properly, but
serious lounging Involves great subtlety
Lounging can be done in any comfortable
position, but two easy rules must be followed. To lounge properly, you must have a
beer in hand. Having a beer In both hands
Is Improper loungingl The very cool will
have a sofa or a recllner to sit In while the
ultimate Is a bed. All veterans have a pitcher of beer within easy reach. Lounging is
the simplest of all human activity. Forget
about school (or the day and don'l bring
booksl
For those of us who's daddies can'l afford to send us to Florida to work on our
skin's hue, sun tan lotion may be
necessary. There's really not much you can
do, but be aware that If you decide to use
lotion, you'll probably slide around like a
greased pig and collect a lot of dirt
There you have It, the artful way to e
joy Celebration'83.
US Ncuis & World Report
you might find yourself In a sprint across
the hallway and through the piate glass of
the podium. Some prefer approaching the
stairs on the bias, hoping the diagonal approach will offset the anatomical unreality
of the Stone design. Or do as I do, and
avoid classes in the lecture centers.
The Pound Is Sinking, and S o Is the
Podium
If I learned nothing else in my (our years.
I've at least learned what to do when large
slabs ol concrete begin to cave in: surround
the depressions wllh orange sawhorses and
wait until spring.
The Campus Center
ext let us look at the lights, or better yet listen to the lights. Or even
better, let's listen to the people
who complain about the hum of
the jluorescents,
and think
they're making an original observation.
many to hisT.A.'s. Consider:
The Library
Stone's plans originally called for room
for 1.000,000 books, a figure I'm not
ready to accept, even though the library
claims to have reached the mark. Make It
999,999. the official figures less Ihe one
book I'm always trying to find.
Next let us look at the lights, or. better
yet, listen to the lights. Or even better, let's
listen lo Ihe people who complain about
the hum of the fluorescents, and think
they're making an original observation.
"Yes. yes. because they don't know the
words," you should tell such people. "Now
please leave me alone."
Finally, let us all make an effort to explain to the first library worker we see the
meaning of the word "ventilation." Wine
has been known lo breathe better than a
person studying in Ihe newly redecorated
periodical room.
The Steps Outside the Library
I'm really talking about the steps which
lead from Ihe lecture centers to the steps
outside Ihe library. Now be honest: have
you ever walked up or down those 15
steps the same way twice? Whoever
designed them had a better understanding
of trout than people, and built steps so Impossibly shallow that one has a choice of
approaches. You can try lo strike each step
on your way down, but you'll soon find
that you are in effect tall-gating yourself.
You can strike every other step, but then
Oh, where to begin? How about at
podium level, above the cafeteria, across
from the food and record coops, just
before the TV room? Stone probably
thought he had a good Idea when he planned a central meeting area where virtually
the entire studenl body might congregate
between classes. Unfortunately, the architect never planned on so many women
in sweat-suit ensembles and guys who wear
their athletic shorts ouer their pants. Nor
did he plan on mini-skirts when he designed Ihe staircase above Ihe cafeteria. Am 1 a
deviate because I'm forced to spend hours
pretending I'm looking at the wall clock?
While we're In Ihe cafeteria, lei's discuss
those chairs. You remember, the chair
your back pack got caught on, and which,
when you tried to release it, threw you to
the floor? Last year's refurbishing of Ihe
commuter cafeteria was one of the most
exciting things lo happen on campus In
years, yet some mistakes were made which
had nothing to do wllh Stone. Besides Ihe
chairs (and surveys have shown that the
only person not lo have tripped on them
graduated In December), there's Ihe fact
that the big super-graphics saying "Dell,"
"Cafe," etc.. are obscured whenever the
doors of the eateries are open. A design
flaw, unless the decorators think visitors to
the campus center plan Ihe night before
what they are going to have for lunch the
next day.
Not that it really matters what the signs
say. I've yet to detect a diflerence between
the "Ca(e" and Ihe "Dell" anyway, unless
Ihe University thinks II Important to draw a
distinction between a place lhal offers pita
bread and one that doesn't.
And why can't I get grilled cheese on rye
bread unless I go lo the Kumquat Cafeteria
on Ihe Draper campus? And why after
2:30 In Ihe afternoon does UAS oiler no
foods that can be eaten with a knife and
fork? And why don'l they Invest a Utile and
set up a real pizza oven, wllh real pizza?
Don't they want to make money, or would
that just force them lo lower their rates?
Finally, what's "yellow pea soup"? This
is a Joke, right?
Outside the Campus Center
Ever since I was freshman, tire time
when I still thought It was funny lo put Wisk
In Ihe little fountain, I've seen ihe same
faces, selling the same products. I'll show
you:
1) The Rose Man (who has never attended
a class, nor is ever seen without a
cigarette).
2) The balding fellow wllh Ihe feathered
earrings and the wood flute.
3) The guy with the white yarmulke who
sells incense, peasant skirts, and those really nasty smelling oils.
Let's call them the Big Three and salute
their competitors: Ihe guys with the crates
of scratched albums, Ihe stuffed animal
people, the Albany Evangelical Christians,
the military recruiters, the Dunkln' Donut
agents, and the personal computer guy
with the really neat space game.
The Gymnasium
Let me pass on the fruits of the research
I've done this week. When the University
was still In the planning stages, the stale
said that the athletic facility under construction would be the men's gym, with a
women's facility to be buill later on. Laier
on. the state said that the gymnasium was
in fact adequate as a women's gymnasium,
and they started to clear a space for a
men's gym and fleldhouse. Still later, the
state said "Fuck 'em." and if four racquetball courts are enough for Ihe Chancellor,
they're enough (or SUNYA (actually, my
research said nothing about racquetball
courts in the Chancellor's place. The
Chancellor loves when 1 kid him like this,
and I'm hoping he'll Invite me out on the
yacht).
But. as wllh the humming of the library
lights, it's boring to complain about the
overcrowding In the gym. Instead. I'd like
to mention some of the problems I've been
having wllh "fitness" swimming, and to
quote Ann Landers on the subject:
"Dear Ann,
"My university gym sets aside hours (or
'fitness' swimming, and they rope olf lanes
for Intermediate and advanced swimmers.
My problem is that I'm somewhere In between, and am too fast for the Intermediate
lanes, and too slow for the advanced. I
hate to touch people's feet when I'm doing
the breast stroke, almost as much as I hate
to have the bottom of my feet touched.
What do you suggest?"
Of course. Ann suggested that 1 either
talk to my parents and tell them how I feel
about their lighting, or get Immedlalu
counselling.
The Humanities Building
There are lar loo many people In Ihe
Humanities building, and worse yet, nearly
all of them are either students or professors. Something must be done about the
between-period traffic |ams, or hundreds of
English and language majors will die of
lung cancer. Try this, people: after one
'.class, go to your next. You'll be surprised
'how less congested the halls will be. and
how much belter you'll understand a lecture when you hear it from Ihe beginning.
Then there's the Humanities lounge,
which is notable for having the most chairs
of any room on campus. Believe it or not
'(or "Bee-lieve it or naught," as Jack
Palance says|, there are 160 chairs In Ihe
Humanities lounge, and on a weekday
morning each is filled with a person who
thinks popular entertainment hasn't been
the same since the Wakefield Master passed on.
The D o r m s
Have you ever heard of the Monroe effect? Named after a famous sequence in

Prose and Photographs by Debbie Millman
He remembered the summer she was born,
running to knock up Mrs, Thorton In
Dezllle street.
was getting darker, the moon made Its appearance In a hazy attempt. A wind was
gathering, It passed through her hair.
Walking. A car sped past, was It Alec? No.
Of course not.
It was dark. The moon was full.
She walked.
M
lllicent Theresa Bloom, her blond
hair blowing In the early summer
breeze, was Impatient. Sitting on
that stupid bus, she realized she was going
nowhere. And It was her birthday.
She remembered Alec. Last week.
Looked so handsome In his tweed shorts.
Showed up Mulligan, that's for sure. And
he thought he was so witty. Hal He wasn't
special at all. Rather boring, In fact. And so
stuck up. But Alec Bannon...well, he was
a different story entirely. She remembered
how she fought with her father when he Informed her he was sending her to study
photography at Mulllngar. But why, she
Implored him, did she have to go there?
She didn't understand those artsy people
and she had absolutely no Interest In
cameras. (She refused to talk to her father
for a week). Nevertheless, off she went.
She had no choice.
ack In her room, she was lost In
familiarity. She decided she had
to forget. The same sights seen so
many times before. Forget. (She wondered
if Mulligan treated his women as such) She
Imagined their death that night and
wondered if men knew the spontaneity of
falling back and tearing ahead with abandon, the aching, mournful despair that she
felt In Ihe darkness o( her vision. She
wondered If they ever trembled with
desires they could not control in desperate
tenderness, or Insane blindness. She didn't
know.
She felt the color of what only seemed a
moment ago,remembering their kissing.
She might have had his child thai day, if
they ha,' cade love. She was glad they
walled, bhe remembered her childhood.
Silly Mllly. She was still a child. / dream

he was going to meet him. He
had called her last nlyht and asked to meet him for her birthday.
Had something for her. She laughed. She
couldn't wait to see him. They met at an
exhibit she had to go to at school, she
thought it would be anothei boring afternoon, wasted on looking at some art she
didn't understand. His eyes caught hers
Immediately, and she )ust knew, she could
smell II right away. And afterwards they
went to the jazz cafe and Jived to a fat man
hammering on a grand piano. Later they
walked on Sandymoun! Strand and the
sand sparkled like tiny meteors of light
against the black water. The air was cool
and still and the sky was a silver-blue
velvet. The mood got so heavy then and
he tried to talk meaningfully . . .Yes, Yeats
Is wonderful, I particularly like "The
Tower", don't you, blah, blah. . . But, no,
she said, she didn't understand poetry, and
she took off her shoes and started running,
running down the beach. She felt so alone
suddenly, but then he caught up to her,
and they were laughing and running. She
couldn't remember when she had fell that
way before and then everything stopped
and was quiet and he leaned over and kissed her. A n d without warning she
remembered what her father said before
she left. . . she was only going to be sixteen be careful about boys that would take
advantage of her and not do too much
then her mother Interrupted and told him
to leave her alone she was growing up not
to bother with him she was old enough to
decide what was right for her and here she
was now being kissed by this person and
her heart was beating she felt so beautiful
she didn't want It to stop but she wanted to
but it had to be special she wanted to be in
love.
And now she was going to meet him.
At her room, and then he would take
her out.
It was her birthday.
S
he got off the bus one stop before
hers, Just because she wanted,
needed time to get herself
together, and think about what could happen, And then, walking right past her-was
Stephen, Stephen Dedalus himself, right
before her very eyes. She thought he was
still In Paris, but no, there he was. And she
yelled for him and he turned around and
gave that quizzical squint only Stephen
could give. He recognized her and she ran
to him, hugging him. They had known
each other for years, since they were little
kids (he still thought she was a little girl)
and she asked for all the news. He didn't

he felt the color again, and she
smelled him. She bolted awake,
and there in front of her, he
stood. He had some mountain flowers In
his hand. Where had he been? He was
sorry, he was sorry. Mulligan, his mother,
emergency, hospital, she didn't want to
hear It. He grabbed her hand, he was
sorry.
She grabbed a fistful of sand, and suddenly felt his warm face slip through her fingers and she didn't want to remember anymore
have much to say, he was rather quiet, as
usual. He adjusted his glasses. He was having trouble with Mulligan at their apartment
and he thought he would have to move. It
had been building up for a while, though.
He ran his hands through his short blond
hair.
-Hey, he said, Is It true you're seeing
Bannon?
(She blushed) -Yeah, it was true, she
was going to meet him now for her birthday.
-Nice guy, he said.
She nodded.
Suddenly he had to go, but he'd see
her soon, he was sure. Tomorrow he might
be seeing her father. He'd be sure to send
her love.
S
he wanted to walk faster but
didn't want to at the same time.
Silly Mllly she thought, her affectionate nickname. Her father loved that
name, used to call her that all the time.She
recalled the days when they were closer.
Her birthdays when she was nine, ten,
eleven. The year returns. . . History
repeats the old conceits, the same replies,
the glib defeats. . . Keep your finger on important Issues. Yes. Yes. . . She
remembered him ribboning her hair, her
giving him that ridiculous breakfast
moustache clip. And now she was the
"Photo Girl." Alec dubbed that one. Pretty
Ironic, really. He thought It was cute. She
started to walk faster. She stopped herself.
No. Not too fast. But she wanted to run.
She wanted to fly down the streets and see
him standing In front of her dorm she
wanted to crash Into his arms and take him
upstairs and never let him leave.
No.
No.
But then she started running down the
streets and she didn't care If she was too>
anxious she didn't care that she was out of
breath she was mad she was crazy she was
running running down the hills down the
slopes so fast feeling the wind under her
feet as she flew her blue dress was pressed
against her legs and her hips and she ran
and she ran and she ran.
She waited for about fifteen minutes before
she started to worry about his coming. Bui
an hour passed before she did anything.

Suddenly she wished she could see
Stephen Dedalus. Why couldn't she fall for
someone like him? His intensity scared her,
always t h i n k i n g those philosophic
thoughts. Why did he have such a need to

thought. And I have none. There was no
day that could fulfill a day, no moment
could succeed another.
The air was breathless. She turned over
and lay on her back. She absorbed the
elements surrounding her. An angle of

Where could she go? Home? No, her

Happy Birthday.
To you too, she said.
He gave her the flowers.
I'm sorry.
She knew she would forgive him. She felt
powerful. It didn't matter. She held out her
hand. She smiled.
It's my birthday, she laughed.
Suddenly she felt free, freer than she had
ever felt. The air wandered in through the
screen In the window, and it etched a path
permanently and transparently in the dark
room. There was no vanity there, no contempt. / am careless, she thought, I am
careful. He whispered sounds she heard
'nothing. She listened. There was no pattern, it was a randomless moment In an
hour crowded with many. Where was the
intrigue? The night spoke of mystery and
melancholy and she knew and she
understood and she loved him. She
thought how beautiful he looked next to
her. She knew the memory was already
apparent as he spoke to her. It was already
planned. She didn't have to do anything.
He loved her. Slowly she undressed first in
the dark room, a moment's hesitation apparent, briefly. Could she trust him? Could
she trust? The house was empty, the doors
were opened, the halls endless, the floors
_»ternal.
Yes he felt her and suddenly he was lying
upon rocks and the water was cascading
down down down falling gently harshly
pushing the air down further a leaf was
dropping from a tree falling to the ground
melting and crying a moment a motion a

in some outstretched shadows of clinging

Considtne
chool has been ruining college life
for me for the past four years. I
came to this b a s t i o n
ol
knowledge four years ago, a naive,
boyishly handsome seventeen year old, expecting to learn. In my foolishness I expected to do that learning In a classroom, 1
expected it to come from books. If I've gotten one thing out of my experience here, it
is that those things that I thought I was going to college lor: knowledge, career
preparation, etc., are only secondary and
supplementary. What happened Is that my
values have not so much changed as
grown and focused.
Whal are the important things In life? Are
they not merely the enjoying of II? Who's to
say that worrying about becoming an accountant is more important that worrying
about Tom Seaver going 11-11 in 1975
because of his sciatic nerve? Why have we
been compelled to feel that studying Aristotle's Rhetoric should take precedence over
an Odd Couple party In Sloner's room?
Why have we come here, and made some
of the strongest, deepest ties that we ever
will, only to abandon them upon graduation in our pursuit of a good career? Why
do we consistently isolate ourselves from
each other? Where have our priorities
come from?
There is a "logic" that will answer these
questions with a reply like, "there are more
imporlant things to life than hanging out
and having f u n . " I beg to differ. I have yet
to find the law that says we shouldn't enjoy
ourselves. It Is beyond me to understand
the attitude that pushes us to an abandonment o l the lun, friendships and life experiences that we've had here In exchange
for adoption of a pursuit of "achievement"
and "success."
Honestly (and sadly), I should retract
that last sentence. It isn't really beyond me.
I'm kind o l doing it. I'm out o l here In three
weeks and will be doing exactly what I've
just waxed seml-eloquently against. This
Inconsistency has been plaguing me lor
months. It's tortured me so much that I'm
writing a movie about It.
May I get lucky and make the movie |

Greenstein
chool has been Intermittently
ruining college for four years
now...I must emphasize Intermittently. This view is shared by many a
SUNYA-ile and collegians In general I'm
sure. Callous and un-loyal as I may be I will
betray this oath and slate the following:
This Is a narrow-minded way of thinking
and is Ihe antithesis to the learning and
growing that can occur In four years — or
even five.
Self-rlghteously I tell you that college has
boundless offerings, and I condemn those
who fall to take advantage. For not only
does apathy and lack of involvement Inhibit
growth but eventually It diminishes the
quality of one's life.
Learning Is spiritually exponential. It's a
bug that Is attainable through movement,
but once caught It is easily subject to
pressure Irom Its ever-tempting roommate
— pleasures of the flesh. You can't possess
lady knowledge and eat her loo, or at least
according to Ihe dictum at the lop of the
page.
But herein lies the narrowness: a 4.0 Is
not knowledge and pleasure should not be
fulfilling animal needs only. If pleasure's
values are changed then It Is no longer the
adversary ol knowledge. What I'm suggesting Is that the twain should meet.
The optimal place lor knowledge and
pleasure to meet are In one's career.
Wouldn't that be wonderful, to sincerely
like what you are doing. According to
many a rat racer, except lor a select lew, a
job Is just a damn job ten years down the
road, and money separates the happy from
the sad; Ihe content from the discontented.
Maybe so, but . . .1 don't know.
Yearning lo be one ol the "select lew"
should be the aim o l Ihe college student.
Getting Involved is Ihe method; searching
for that in life which is appealing and more
than bearable is Ihe goal.
Granted this nostalgic, reminiscent hindsight comes from an abuser of college opportunity, not a wise user; unsubstantiated,
unsupported by proof or fact, witless or
spineless these words may be, they should
nonetheless be heeded. Just as the overlyaware intellect claiming to be unaffected by
the inescapable manipulation carried on by
Ihe sales oriented, medla-bllzted advertising world, drinks his coke and plays with
his pel rock, a sludent who has done no
more than play Softball and podlale,
ponders on the morals and ethics of the
Lemuel Smith case, the absurdity of
Camus, and the genius ol the Galllleo
method. The learning environment ever
makes the trees reach higher.
I leave you wilh the following: pleasureseeking as a way of life is fine, but what of
pleasure? One great poet whose name and
poem escapes me, wrote this last line on
his death bed as he thought o l all the things
he could have lived, loved, and experienced, finished wilh, "If I had to choose between pain and nothing, I would choose
pain." No this man was not a sadist, just
one who appreciated that feeling and doing Is life.
1 also leave with these mandates ol college:
1. Take your time — dropping out or
temporarily withdrawing is no longer a lour
letter word.
2. Take advantage — there's too much
offered to be believed and it may be soon
unavailable or you'll soon be unable.
3. Take In the environment — "smell Ihe
roses" so to speak.
4. Take chances — throw yourself Into
something that you think you won't like;
you'll be the better lor it.
5. Take mushrooms — they're natural
and therefore safe, they're only a couple o l
dollars, and you're guaranteed to learn at
least one Invaluable lesson and have the
lime of your life.

silling in a large relrigeraled truck off to the

aboul the drab, cool, rainy day and push
Sunday's hangover back to Monday.
And so 400 or 500 people stood drinking out ol white plastic Genesee cups while
trying lo pretend II really wasn't raining. As
the alcohol began to lake effect, it really
didn't matter If It was raining,
As my eyes scanned the crowd, 1 noticed
a red laced man o l about 40 mingling with
people. Some people talked to him while
others avoided him as though he was a

able to neutrally observe the Intricate workings of the
dent Association. From secretaries lo executive officers,
as able to have the opportunity to meet many or the pcowho comprise SA. Many o f tItem must have often
ndcrcd who I was, always hanging out in the President's
ice. Now, after another academic year, a new president
taken over, with other new officers. Seeing this changof the guard, I felt compelled to express one important
Inl: Everyone I saw litis year worked exceptionally hard
representing the students and their Interests on the
NYA campus. Ex-president Corso's unending drive and
rgy was just one example o f lite dedication and personal
rificc that permeated SA this year.
Unfortunately, all the hard work goes unnoticed and
appreciated by many S U N Y A students, The students on
s campus should be deeply gratified and honored lo have
many hard working people working ror thorn. I pesonalwould like to laud this past year's Sludenl Association.
eryonc who participated deserves not only a pal on the
ckbul the highest praise for a job well done. I hope thai
new SA members and officers, under the leadership o f
new president, Rich Schaffer, will continue lo work
rd In serving the best interests or SUNYA students next

the Editor:
It has come to our attention that during the recent aprancc on the S U N Y A campus o f Israeli peace activist
tlr Pa'ail, and in discussions preceding the cvcnl, the
ent's sponsors and promoters listed Students For Israel as
Ing among these sponsors.
This statement was in error, as Students For Israel, a
vision of JSC-Hlllel, was not a sponsor or the event and
kes no particular stand on the issue presented. No
ember or JSC was authorized lo list the organization as a
-nsor, and to the best or our knowledge, no campus

eality of rape
0 The Editor:
In your editorial ol' A p r i l 26, you urged women to race
eality and lo not walk alone on campus. You complain
hal women on this campus have a false sense of security.
1 do nol believe litis is true. I find thai women I know are
ery scared and that this fear shapes their daily lives,
'omen do not need to be warned by men of the threat or
iolence against them by men. Rather, I find lhal men are
noram, (or are Ignoring), lhal rape and violence against
omen represent a stale ol' war against women. As a man I
anafiord to ignore this reality; I know no woman who can
fford lo ignore it.
You suggest that women can prevent rape by facing rcaliand not walking alone at night, By accepting as " r e a l i t y "
peas a given and by urging women lo merely adjust to
is "reality" is reactionary. Women arc already well aware
fthe threat of rape and neither you nor I need explain ii to
em. Why not suggest a curlew Tor ail men on campus lo
evenl rape. IT some group musl be rcstlctcd why not the

likely criminals, than the likely victims? ir this suggestion
seems ridiculous lo you Ihen adopting the same perscrlption
Tor women is not only ridiculous, but sexist.
Further the suggestion that women slay at home ignores
the reality that one-half or all rapes occurs in the home. The
recent reign or terror or rape in the Pine Hills
neighborhood should make this apparent.
Finally your editorial ignores the causes o r rape. You ignore that we as men view women as objects that we can
" s c o r e " with and who "really wanl i t " . You ignore port o g r a p h y , "serious literature" and ads that arc readily
available on campus that glorify rape. You ignore lhal men
us a group tacitly support rape and protect rapists. We as
men should become aware or our participation in violence
against women and break our support Tor the institution oT
rape. We should support women's struggle against rape instead of lecturing women aboul whal we allow lo be the
reality or rape.

Better to give
To The Editor:
1 would like lo respond lo a column written by Mr. Craig
Rucker denouncing Socialism. Such criticism is wasteful ir
lie has no solution to today's problems. It lakes little insight
lo see the faults in all rorms or government, yes thai includes our system as well.
The basis or my arguemenl lies in the American
democracy Itself. Our system operates on a complexity only
few can comprehend. The bureaucracy has grown so even
lawmakers musl rely on pressure groups and lobbyists to
determine priorities in lawmaking. Unfortunately, only a
Tew distinct groups have the money or the Initiative lo
pressure legislators, Business today is the priorily among
lawmakers as they, and Ihey alone profit monetarily horn
this. The result is the neglect or common goodwill, at the
expense of big business. The legality or handguns, and gun
manufacturing alone, is a prime example. The arms race
and the pollution o i our environment arc two other
capitalist cancers.
As business Interests grow, the public becomes losi in the
eye ol' the politician who has no morals to begin with, as
success and honesty don'i walk together in his game. I have
nothing against Ihe honest businessman, but does he
deserve a higher salary than the man doing cancer research,
or Ihe scientist exploring I'or new resources?
What 1 urn saying is that Capitalism sounds great to the
opportunist, bin lo Ihe humanitarian something is
drastically wrong. IT all the profits gained by big business
were surplus in a Socialized state, (Ills money would be
available lo improve living conditions lor all o f us. Socialized medicine would provide services I'or all, and more
money would be spcnl on Ihe people. Taxes would be
reduced, and workers would be paid what Ihey deserve. It's
very sclT satisfying lo ihink of all Ihe freedoms we have in
America, but unfortunately few or us deserve them. For ihe
human race l o possibly ever have a chance I'or survival, we
musl all make sonic personal sacrifices, and only then will
there be true peace on earth. This is whal Ihe professors,
and Ihe students who supporl socialism live I'or. They are
Ihe Irue lovers ol' mankind, who see beyond all the greed,
prejudice, and bigotry of modern America. The grip thai
our government has on the education system makes ii virtually impossible I'or teachers lo leach whal Ihey want, so
all Ihey can do is hope to point students in the riglu direction. II is unfortunate lhal only a prlvelcged few have Ihe
insight lo look behind the scenes. To you, Mr. Craig
Rucker, why don't you forget aboul capitalizing on

On Chomsky
T o the Editor:
Noam Chomsky came lo (own Monday night and, as
usual, pedaled his indistinct and disconnected ideas on such
important issues as Ihe "Jsluclear Freeze" and (he Middle
last conflict, Now I heartily welcome intelligent discussion
on these Issues by specialists in these area;, but nol by (his
fellow who, as a linguist, is a proponent or Ihe generative
and transformational grammar.
John Simon and Andrew Draper have some revealing
things lo say about Chomsky; first Simon: " l l seems lo me
thai ihe new sclcnllsm and socialism of the structural
linguists is nol truly disinterested...a form o f prescriplivencss and dogmatism would stem...from some sort of
populism, Marxism, bad social conscience, demngoguery,
inverted snobbery, or even moral cowardice. II is significant...that when a linguist like Noam Chomsky-a committed leftist • makes statements aboul history, Ihey can be
shown lo be tendentious and unfaclual." Here is Draper on
Chomsky's book: Peace in the Middle Fast? Relection of
Justice and Nationhood: "Chomsky makes statements in
his book which may or may not be true al Ihe lime o! his
writing, Inn subsequent events show lhal some Tacts arc nol
Irue, Thus Chomsky says: 'at no time has the Soviet Union
supporlcd ihe political demands o! the Arab guerillas.'"
What transpired at the lecture was crowd-pleasing untruthfulness: The high technological advancement of the
U.S. missiles pose a serious danger to world security - as if
the Russian multiple warheads are tonka toys. And by
criticizing the American press as racist Tor their bias against
the P.L.O. and then asking the audience to name one columnist or writer who supports coexistence in Ihe Middle
Easl. I am sure lhal modesty prevented Chomsky irom
mentioning himself, but I can name a few columnists who
view Israel rather unfavorable and supporl "peaceful coexistence" in ihe Middle Easl (endorsing Ihe terrorist P.L.O,
is rather risky). These people include: Evans and Novak,
Carl Rowan, Anthony Lewis, Jocscph Kraft, c l c , ad nausenn.
Therefore, Instead of gelling a well-meaning socialist, we
got fatly, petty bourgeois Hastiness - and arrogance.
Finally, there is Bojuna Jordan's moving rebullle to
" P a u l Krugcr's" offending leller-lo-the-cditor; moving,
thai is, until the hysterical last paragraph. 1 can understand
Jordan's anger al the Aftikaaners' unbridled racism, the
revolting " A p a r t h e i d . " But I cannot condone his unconscious anti-Jewish bias. By this I mean Jordan's inclusion of "ghettos" as the original homes of the Al'rikaaners.
New Mr. Jordan may be confusing Haarlem, The
Netherlands for Harlem,New York, bul history shows lhal
the ghettos were constructed by European cities for Ihe purpose of quartering the Jews lo keep them separate from ihe
Gentiles.
In addldion, there is ihe curious lumping of the United
States and Israel among the other 157 nations who condemned South Attica's apartheid as " a crime against
humanity," Why these two countries? Why not ihe
Maldivc Islands, for crying out loud? I think Mr. Jordan
wants us to believe lhal even a racist Zionist state is capable
of making a decern gesture. If lhal is Ihe case, Ihen Jordan
should have mentioned Zimbabwe, which now has
diplomatic relations with Israel, unlike the oilier subsaharan African nations which cravenly withdrew
diplomatic relations following the Yotn-Kippur war.
Bul I do nol wanl lo detract from Mr. Jordan's otherwise
fine letter. He should stick lo the topic of which he has personal knowledge of, and not, as I sec it, pull a " C h o m s k y . "

Clean up
To The Editor:
It's wonderful to see the sun and warmth finally arrive at
SUNYA. The sunshine always raises peoples' spirits. It sets
their minds thinking aboul upcoming outdoor parties,
H A P Day, and podiating. There is a direct positive relationship between the increase in temperature and the
number of people on the podium. Everyone podiales, including students, stall', and the administration. It's great to
sec so many people out dining the day.
I he sunshine and warm weal her also results in something
else. Something lhal cl'lccts everyone! Something thai is
totalis uncalled for and utterly disgusting! It is all the G A R BAGE lhal is left around the podium at the end of Ihe day.
I'heie are beet hollies, paper products, and general debris
strewn all around. Litter is everywhere!
I do not understand it. There are plenty of trash cans
throughout the podium. They are not hidden or hard to
locale. Is ii so much trouble to pick up your own garbage
and merely put it in a trash can on your way to class, the
library, the busses, or wherever?
If people can not take pride in our campus and how it
looks, they should at least have the decency to pick up after
themselves and throw away their own garbage! These are
nol strict regulations — but common social graces and
courtesy to others! Maybe we should all think aboul It, and
put a little cfi'ort in lo keeping our campus clean. Please.

Danes split with Binghamton in home opener
By Marc Schwarz
WORTS EDITOR
There is a saying that good things come lo
those who wait. The Albany State Great
Dane baseball team certainly will attest to
that fact.
The Danes finally played their first games
at home this season yesterday afternoon and
. won the nightcap of a twinbill with Binghamton, after losing a heartbreaking 5-4 decision
in the opener.
Albany finished a strenuous three day
stretch with a 2-3 record, moving their overall
season mark lo 4-8. The Danes won a tain
shortened contest with Capital District rival
Union, 3-1, In Blecckcr Stadium Tuesday
night. Wednesday, the learn traveled to
Oneonta for a doubleheadcr with their
SUNYAC rivals. The Danes dropped both,
in what Albany head coach Dave llaight
termed their worst showing of the year.
Albany sent 12 men to the plate in the first
inning of the second game against Binghamton yesterday, and rocked two Colonial pitchers for eight runs to jump to a lead they
would not give up en route to their 12-3 vietoiy. Freshman pitcher Chris Fletcher hurled
a complete game and set down 12 Colonials
on strikeouts. Five of his 12 third strikes were
called while Binghamton batters had their
bats on their shoulders. The flamethrower
limited Ihc Colonials lo four hils over the
seven innings, all singles.
Designated hitler Mike Murphy led the
Dunes at the plate by going two for three,
with three RBIs, Overall he knocked in four
runs on the day, including one wiih a line
drive shot over the lefl field fence in the first
game. "I'm timing the ball a lot belter now,"
he said. "The homerun was off a high
fastball."
Pitchers Pete Groves and Dave Acapuro
combined to walk five baiters and give up
four hits lo Albany in ihe first inning. Groves
threw 36 pilches, 24 of them being balls. He
walked the first four baiters and Ihe only out
he was able lo gel occured when Murphy was
thrown out trying to steal second after a tworun single. Andy Pcrsempire came in the second Inning and held Ihc Danes to four runs
the rest of ihc way.
Fletcher's only problems came in Ihc
fourth when he walked three men and gave
up two hils, allowing the Colonials to score
nil their runs. Otherwise the righty had Ihc
Binghamton baiters coming up empty. The
hardest thrower on the Albany staff was jusl
blowing Ihe ball by the hitters, striking out
seven of Ihe flrsl nine men he faced.
"Ills faslball was moving real well," catcher Jerry Rosen said."I was just trying lo
blow ihe ball pasi the hitters, I would gel In
trouble when I wasn't concentrating," Fletcher added.
Mike Vosburgh added two hits for the
Danes as eight different ilaycrs scored al
least one run. Lefl fielder I- ugh Davis crossed Ihe plate three limes and also had thai
many stolen bases.
The first game was a different slory as the
Colonials jumped out lo a quick 2-0 lead in
Ihe first and increased it to 5-0 by Ihe end of
live, before Albany rallied back to score four
runs in Ihc lust two innings. Their comeback
fell short though, and Bruce Czuehor picked
up Ihe win with relief help from Groves.
Mike Garnnun, starling his second game in
two days lor the Danes, was charged with ihe
loss.
Colonial Neil Berg led off ihe game by
smacking the first pitch for u double lo left
ccnicrfield. He advanced lo llurd on the next
pitch when Pcrsempire lined u single over second base. Boih runners came home when a
hard hit ball went off firsl baseman Jack
Tlcrncy's glove.
While Czachor threw one-hit ball over Ihc
first five innings, Binghamton added lo Iheir
lead by scoring once in Ihc fourth on a
homerun by Dan Tauken and twice in Ihc
fifth when Harry Caruso munaged a two-run
single off reliever Steve Dolen. Tauken was
on base all four limes in the game with two
hils and two bases on balls.

part of it that Is remembered. For any team,
looking back on a season consists or focusing
on that one thing that made that year special.
As the specifics of the whole season become
blurry, something remains crystal clear, that
element that represents the team and their
season.
As those athletes who competed for
Albany Slate Great Dane teams this past year
reflect on their seasons, they will recall that
game or match that sums up what being u
Great Dune wus all about.
A 25 second span on October 9 will be
forever etched in the minds of those who
pluyed for Coach Bob Ford's football team.
The jubilation of an apparent winning
touchdown by halfback John Dunham turned Into tears of disbelief as Southern Conncclicul's Sieve Compilcllo took the ball and a
possible number one national ranking for
Albany Into the end zone, giving the Owls a
I6-I3 victory on University Field In one of
the most dramatic finishes witnessed here
since the football program began nine years
ago.

before Iheir dclcrmination showed as they
tied the game and sent it into overtime. But
the team came up short again, just as it hud
most of the season, as North Adams scored
In overtime to win the game.
The lacrosse learn has come into its own
this year under Head Coach Mike Motta. A
snowy day in April will bring a smile to every
learn member's face. The Danes defeated
defending SUNYAC champion Gcneseo,
7-6. Albany is just a win away from achieving
their best record ever.
Thii baseball Icum will look buck al the
Spring 1983 season and will remember the
weather as their toughest opponent. The
Danes managed to get one home
doublchcadcr in before the season was out.
Last Tuesday's game at Blccckcr Stadium
against Union best portrays the troubles the
Danes have had this year. The game was
delayed for an hour because a track meet was
being run. The first inning was constantly interrupted by runners in the final races of thai
track meet racing through the oulfield. After
the game finally got underway, It wus cut
short because of rain.
The football team finished the season with
u 6-3 record despite injuries to All-Amcrlcan
Jim Canfield and quarterback Tom Pratt
The men's basketball team will have two
memories of the season, one pleasant, one
disappointing. The Danes rolled, winning
eight of their first nine games, but the one
that stands out is the title game of the Ithaca
Invitational Tournament in early December.
Senior co-captain Mike Gatto led the team in
Iheir finest performance of the season by
scoring 25 points and being named the MVP.
That high was not to be matched all year. As
the Danes stumbled through the second half
of the season, the hope and expectations of
the beginning of the season dissolved into a
bitter loss at the SUNYACs in the opening
round to Buffalo State. As the rest of the
team watched, John Dicckclman led the team
throughout the year with another banner
season, typified by the score in the Buff.
State game early in the first half: Buffalo
State 15, John Dicckclman 13.
The women's volleyball leant spiked iheir
way to another successful season, compiling
a 35-6 record. However they fell short In their
quest for a state title as Ihey lost to Nazareth
in the finals of the chumpionshlp. Thnt loss
was the first the team incurred in the
prestigious tournament, consisting of 16
teams.
The gymnastics team under the lutclcgc of
Pat Duval-Spillanc had one of iheir finest
seusons. They won their first six matches and
earned some of the highest scores in Ihe
teams history, including the highest in a loss
lo Brockporl.
After a frustrating fall season under new
head coach Jim Scrbulik, the women's tennis
leant bounced back lo have a fine spring. Led
by Debbie Leffe and Joan Phillips, Albany
has made great strides in restoring Ihe winning tradition of former coach, Peggy Mann.
The men's tennis team captured the
SUNYAC crown in Ihe fall for the fourth
consecutive year. Led by four seniors, Barry
Levine, Fred Gabcr, Larry Lichen and Dave
Lcrncr, Albany has continued its success this
spring. Coach Bob Lewis' teum defeated Colgate for the first lime In five years to make
their final record 11-3 this season.
The women's softball team had won the
Slate Championship in 1982 but still had a
goal that eluded them last year. Coach Lee
Rhenish's team captured the Albany Invitational this year by sweeping three games in
one day just a few weeks ago. More than putting numbers in the win column, the pride of
this team showed.
Under Coach Joe DcMeo, the wrestling
team has become one of the best in the nation
at the Division III level. They finished sixth
this year at the NCAAs, and four wrestlers
achelved All-American honors. But the shining moment for this team occurred on a
December night in University Gym. Before a
large and vocal crowd, the Danes defeated
Division 1 and bitter rival Boston University
when senior Vic Herman defeated Dave
Koplovitz in the final match. Koplovilz
outweighed Herman by 60 pounds.
The women's basketball team had a goal.
Rookie coach Mari Warner longed to capture

SUMMER, JUNE27, 1983
NUMBER 25
New directions seen as Whalen settles into post
By Wayne Pcercboom
vost'HmurtsG hotroR
Few would doubt lhat there will be some changes In the
city or Albany following the death of Erastus Coming II,
who served as mayor for 42 years.
The longest tenured mayor in Ihe country, Corning ran the last of ihe country's
urban political machines. Corning also
served a duel role as chair of Ihe Albany
County Democratic parly — a position he assumed following the death of party boss Duniel O'Connell. The
Democratic parly has controlled Albany since the 1920s.
Elected to his eleventh consecutive term in 1981, Corning
died on May 28. Suffering from cronic bronchitis, emphysema and asthma, lie was admitted to Albany Medical
Center in June 1982. The Mayor's condition grudunlly
worsened and he wus transfered lo Ihe nationally known
respiratory program at University Hospital in Boston. He
was hospitalized for nearly a year when a heart attack took
his life al the age of 73.
Coming's baudpicked successor is Thomas M. Whalen
III who served a year as Common Council President, A
graduate Of Albany Law School, Whalen was practicing in
a local law firm before he became mayor. His only other
governmental experience was as a cily court judge in the
curly 70's.
Corning was known to reserve all decisions — large and
small — lo himself. Whalen has indicated he wants to
disperse more of the decision making power among cily officials and department heads — a policy taken by Corning
at Ihe very end when lie Instructed department heads to
come to him with solutions, not problems.
II has been alleged lhat Corning refused federal urban
development monies because lie did not want to give up the
control he would lose by accepting Ihe aid. Whalen,
however, said "I have no apprehensions about taking
federal money. If il can improve the city, I'm all for it." A
key project for Whalen is the rcvitulizalion of downtown
Albany. "Revitalizalion is very important in the sense that
we create a healthy business environment," he said.
Anolher change seems lo be coming in city spending
practices. During Coming's convalescence, when Albany
was being run by a small "kitchen cabinet" of cily officials,
dubious garbage-hauling contracts were cancelled and cily
workers were given jobs previously assigned lo private
firms.
Most recently, city insurance policies — purchased
through a firm partly owned by Corning — have come
under scrutiny,
One of Coming's besl known characteristics was his willingness to deal with common people. No problem was said
lo be loo small for him. II was said that Ihe door lo his office was always open. Whalen said he wants to continue this
practice for department heads, citizens . . . and students.
There may be some students who will want to talk to
Whalen. While he considers Albany lo be an "educational
center," and wants lo maintain good relations with Ihe college communities, Whalen said he disagrees with Ihe federal
court decision which allowed Albany students to vole in
iheir college communities. Pari of reason for his attitude

own children in college vole by absentee ballot.
While Whalen said he would abide by Ihe federal order,
his attitude toward student voting rights may manifest itself
in oilier ways. Recently, SUNYA students requested
another polling place on campus in addition lo the two current locations, However, registered voters on Colonial and

voling booth but said he lias made no final decision. "How
far do we do we go lo accomodate them (students)?"
Whalen asked. He said he fell Ihe two present silos arc

On Ihe subject of student off-campus housing, Whalen
said, "It would be Ideal if students all could be on-cnmptis.

need for tighter controls.
By Belli Itrinser
STMT nmn:R
The last two of the six SUNY Albany
students arrested for stealing $3500 from
University Cinema were released from
Albany County Jail on June 23, after serving
15 days each.
The students, Michael Krome and Rise
Shaw, were among six members of Ihe Student Association affiliated with University
Cinema Executive Board who pleaded guilty
lo charges of petty larceny in Albany County
Conn on Thursday.
Judge Joseph Harris sentenced Krome and
Shaw to 15 days each, and released them with
credit I'or lime served. They were also
sentenced lo three years probation, and fined
$1000 each, as well as having lo return the
stolen funds.
The charge of petty larceny, a misdemeanor, was reduced from grand larceny, a
class D felony. According to Chief Assistant
District Attorney for Albany County Daniel
S. Dwycr, ihe reduction in charges occured
because, "under the Criminal Justice system,
we're not blind lo Ihe objective fads: ihey
were students who had no prior records, and
1 don'l think they'll be involved in our
Criminal Justice system again."
Dwycr said the students were given a relief
of Certificate of Disability, which means that
their criminal record will noi void any rights,
such as voting or obtaining licences.
The other four students, Michael Abneri,
William Braddock, Jay l.usigarlen, and
Agoslino Ribiero, were sentenced to identical
lerms by Judge Harris. According lo SA
Comptroller Adam Bnrsky, only Luslgarlen
lias relumed Ihe money he stole lo SA.
The students' academic standing, however,
is still in doubi. Dean of Student Affairs Neil
Brown said lhat ihe students had asked for a
postponement of of iheir hearing before ihe
committee on Student Conduct, Until a decision is made, all of Iheir records are on hold,
and Brown said ihe seniors, Braddock,
Krome, Luslgarlen and Shaw, would not
receive Iheir diplomas pending a decision.
According lo SA officials, the University
Cinema scam Indicated a need lo tighten control over SA groups, especially those that
handle large sums of money. SA President
Rich Schaffer said one measure SA has taken
is lo bond Ihe executive members of larger
groups involved with ticket sales, such as Ihe
Cinema, University Concert Board, and
Speakers Forum.
In addition, said Schaffer, "we have been
discussing Ihe possibility of buying an
automatic ticket machine, where numbers
can be recorded for use al larger events,"
Schaffer also said SA hopes lo receive advice from Independent auditors in July about
better bookkeeping practices, including
specifics which all groups can follow more
uniformly.
Schaffer said he feels dial Ihe six former
executives have gone through enough. He
said he would feel "a little upset if the four
seniors were denied iheir diplomas. This had
nothing lo do with Iheir four years here, and
Ihey have received their punishment through
the County Judicial System."
The problem with our Judicial System,"
said Schaffer, "is lhat it ruins you for
life."

rVe tuition increase will take effect this fall
A brief
look at
the events
of the
past year
By Amcy Adams
S W f HHIWR
The largest single tuition increase in SUNY
history is scheduled to hit students this fall.
On May 25, The State University Board of
Trustees approved a tuition increase of $300
for resident undergraduates, and $450 for
graduate students. There will also be a dormitory rental increase of$150.
This means that resident undergraduates
will pay $1350 in tuition and $1400 for room
rental (his year, for a total of $2750. Resident
graduates will pay a total o * $ 2 l 5 0 .
Non-resident studenis weie hit hardest of
all. Undergraduates will pay ah extra $900,
bringing their tuition up to $2fi50 a year. Outof-state graduate studenis received a hike of
$1000, for a total bill of $3185.
The reason for the increases is Governor
Cuomo's executive slate budget, according 10
SUNY spokesman Harry Charlton. " T h e
Governor's budget required Ihe university to
generate $44 million. The Hoard o f Trustees
is required 10 produce revenue and 10 function within the confines of a budget,"
Charlton said.
M
ay 2 8 , 1 9 8 3 marked the passing of an Albany institution. Mayor Erastus Corning II, leader ol the last ol
the big city political machines, died in a Boston hospital after a long illness at age 73. "The Mayor," as
he was commonly known, dominated Albany in unprecedented fashion for 41 years, and his passing
m e a n s certain change for the city. His successor is Albany C o m m o n Council President Thomas M. Whalen III
(see story • page 1).
Student trustee and SASU President Jim
Tierney, however, said another major factor
in the tuition hike is Ihe eighl-percent
negotiated salary increase for for university
employees for the next three years. The salary
increases alone should cause SUNY's budget
to rise $74 million, Tierney explained. " I t ' s
going to be a bad year nexl year. We expect
proposed increases already — it looks like the
governor is thinking Ihal w a y , " Tierney said.
" W h a t they always do is block access for
poor and lower income students," said
Tierney. "There is a national report by the
American Association of Stale Universities
and Land GranI Colleges which slates that
for every 10 percent increase in tuition, ubout

"They always block access for poor and lower income students. "
two percent o f students have 10 leave. We can
expect to lose about five percent o f ihe current student population because I hey can't
afford it. I think that's h o r r i d . "
Along with the tuition and dormitory fees,
a number o f additional fees were proposed
for the 1983-84 universily budget, including
fees for bus service, athletics, infimiiry care,
mandatory heallh insurance and damages.
According to Tierney, student services are al
the low end o f Ihe priorities list.
Tierney referred to Ihe outcome of ihe
SASU-orgnni/cd rally of February 28, in
which over 3000 students prolesied Ihe
hudgel hikes at the legislature as " a mixed
bag."
" W e ' r e never successful wlih increases," he added. " W i t h a budget deficit
of $1.8 billion, we came out pretly battered.
Dul SUNY and the Mental Heallh Care were
Ihe only agencies Ihal got anything back."
Tierney said SASU did manage to halt Ihe
passage of Ihe proposed fees.
An a n k l e in Ihe March-April issue of Ihe
SUNY newspaper, The News, said SUNY
was the only stale agency to come up with its
own plan fol generating income. The article
assened Ihal " f o r SUNY, (he results did
much 10 relieve the heavy cloud thai had been
hanging over Ihe universily for two months.
The final budget adopted much of SUNY'r,

transfers and allocations, earmarked $39.5
million to restore threatened positions and
rescind layoffs."

"Can you really understand this song? If

Frankly Living In J^^hmk ^ Living Room
T
o enter Frank's Living Room the
thirsty must descend. Beneath
the overhanging flourescenl sign,
past the neon Budwelser logo, and over
the crumbling concrete, the Frank's patron
cautiously steps Into the darkness of the
basement bar's entrance. Scrawled on the
door. In a hand warped by Intoxication or
psychosis Is, Inexplicably, The Magic
Theatre. Literary allusions abound In
Frank's, especially on bathroom walls.
Kevin Clarke
The simple plnewood door creaks out so
that the first act upon arrival at Frank's Is to
step back as the door pulls open. The Initial
blast of sight, scent and sound Is overwhelming. Many of the curious have been
observed retreating to the safety of the
street after opening that door for the first
lime. Inside Is an oozing and oily blackness
and a hazy, smokey warmth generated by
cigarettes and sweating humans. Once
across Frank's threshold the first striking
feature will not be its dlmlnultlve dimensions, not the awesome shout of rock ' n '
roll roaring through the speakers, not the
very rare prescence of an obviously wellused dart board, but the astounding
number of people who are willing to cram
themselves Into such an uncomfortably
small room. Frank's Is a Jostling, elbowsmashing, meat grinder of a bar where only
the strong and very drunk survive.
On a busy night (and Ihey all are).
Frank's makes the Chicago Stockyards
look empty, and the cattle here are equally
eager to get to the trough
the more amorous patrons are never quite
sure how ugly or attractive their companions actually are. keeping them Interested
enough to buy that special person who
they will never see again Just one more
drink. Some light Is provided by two tacky,
quasi-colonial wall lamps, one glaring pinball machine and the cold eye ol a Donkey
Kong video game. Arguably the crudest
aft of Insenslllvlly perpetuated In the west
occurs here every night at about 4 a.m.
(never before) when, after an evening of
screaming wide-open pupils, the lights are
turned up and a pained cry runs down the
length of the bar as the regulars rush to
cover their eyes, and spill their drinks.
Like other bars, Frank's has two
bathrooms. They are, however, absolutely
unlike any other bar's bathrooms. The
most obvious dissimilarity Is that they are
unmarked, making sexual orientation a
real dllemna. In practice, however, the
males lend to the toilet on the left, probably
because It Is slimier and lacks a mirror,
while the women frequent the bathroom
on the right. There Is no visual guide, say,
something as complex as a sign or a slick
figure to Indicate men to the left, women to
the right - that's Just the way habit has
turned.
The male Frank's-goer, acting on the
ever-Insistent bar room bladder-drive finds
himself in a box about three feet wide and
six feet long. Before him Is a sink and toilet
whose existence trivializes the expression
second hand. Around him Is writ the
board which, along with a black chalk rail
for keeping score and ample throwing
room, lakes up about 25% of the total
available area, in year's past the dart board
was hung so that Ihe "snooker" players
tossed their darts out in the direction of Ihe
crowd. This eventually presented some
problems. The most serious occured every
lime a novice player or a very drunk
player, or worse, a very drunk novice
player, slepped up lo lake his shot. Every
so often a craved dart would find Its way,
not lo Ihe board, but on Ihe unsuspecting
face, neck, or shoulder of an innocent
bystander. Tragedy! Followed closely by
either: fervent apologies gracefully accepted; Insults exchanged, then fervent
apologies gracefully accepted; Insults exchanged, followed by flying fists, then fervent apologies gracefully accepted.
Whatever Ihe reaction lo the mlstossed
darl. II became apparent to even the most
vacuous Frank's follower lhal something
had lo be done. After only ten or so years
i f piercing, cursing, fighting and apologlzuig, The Lining Room's management acted
with their characteristic sensitivity and zeal.
The darl board was lified from Its old wall
and positioned gently on a new wall by Ihe
door, out of harm's way, A sigh of relief
and appreciation was heard to escape
through the vaguely drunken lips of The
Lining Room's guests. The great tradition
of Frank's darl boarding was allowed to
continue, free from the (ear of sudden and
horrible Injury.

EDITOR'S NOTE:
As this issue goes into production, Frank's Living Room
is opening its doors once again, after being thoroughly
gutted and remodeled during the month of June. We at
the ASP sincerely hope that the Living Room has not losl
its unique ambiance, that special ye ne sais quoi which has
made it one of the legendary drinking establishments.
I
The bar Itself Is radically unpretentious.
Old wooden crates hold the bottles of
booze in place, the signs on the wall are
direct and handmade:

The bartender leans over a black, scratched and aged vinyl surface, tripping
around kegs of Mlchelob and Budwelser as
he endeavors to serve his customers. The
floor, treated only with the muck of a
million beer soaked, trampling, nononsense Frank's feet, Is merely plywood
tosed over the basement cement. The ceiling resembles something out of a paper
mache nightmare. Two wobbly tables surrounded by a row of run-down stools suffice for sealing.
Frunk's Is one of the dark places of the
Earth. Possibly It Is designed thai way so

"Fuck Disco; Lou was here: 8 / 2 3 / 7 8 , " or

was obviously an evening of trial for some
man of Integrity. Ultimately, no matter how
discerning the bar-bathroom-gibberlsh connoisseur act of bladder relief Is transformed
into a challenging Intellectual exercise,
Another
Important
physical
characteristic which has helped niako
Frank's the success II Is today Is the darl
t is Easier Sunday evening and
Frank's Lining Room Is dead.
Miraculously, this night Frank's Is
closed. Inside, a gray figure Is slowly mopping ihe floor. The proprietors are using
this Holiest of Holy days as an excuse to
remove the muck from the Living Room's
door. One Sunday last summer Frank's
was closed lor the same reason. For an entire week, the place was unbearably aflllcled with an invisible presence of ammonia, but one could assume It was clean.
It seemed a terribly futile act to attempt lo
wash away Ihe sins and filth of a thousand
alcohol-saturated souls In one night. Even
Christ required three days. Probably just
some state health regulation being reluctantly observed. No choice, however on
this evening, bul to go in search of a
suitable substitute watering hole. Perhaps
the lonely sancllfler will be successful, yet
the task seems superhuman. The Living
Room Is such a foul, slime-covered hole,
the bar so crowded, the music so loud that
even the most Insipid of observers must
pause to wonder why anyone would want
to hang out there. What attraction does this
disgusting, wretched bar have to warrant
the dedication and zealous spending It
receives from Its patronage?
The average Frank's customer devotes a
destructive amounl ol their free lime Imbibing In The Living Room. The wiser ones
are able lo maintain a hold, albeit a
tenuous one, on social responsibility. In the
slmpllst terms, people drink w i t h
masochistic excess here because they love
Ihe damn place, As Whltey, a while-haired
construction worker of about 50, aptly
phrased it, "people come lo Frank's
because it ain't a business here, its drinking
together like a family." Whltey's family
must be an Interesting group of Americans.
Whlley was Introduced to Frank's by his
boss Pele, who carries the dubious distinction of never having been found sober alter
more than twenty minutes at Ihe bar. Well
over hal( Ihe time Pole spends at Frank's,
he can be found slumped over the wooden
railing of the black vinyl bar, vital signs
possesses the most agreeable habit of buy
Ing total strangers a drink for Ihe mosl
trivial reasons. In one Instance, he bough! a
lucky and well-informed lad two pitchers ol
beer and two shots of Irish Whiskey foi
knowing the tale of the red hand of Ulster
(regrettably too long a digression to divulge
here).
Essentially, though. The Living Room Is
a student hangout, and the average Frank's
customer appears In his early twenties,
frazzled by loo much sludy or too much
drink (lo forget his studies), Cool Chris is
so called because of his always calm cle
meanor and determined adherence to all
that Is "cool" in the current new-wave
rockabllly-revlval scene. His hair style
especially Is Indebted to the ground broken
by Gene Vincent some twenly years ago.
Crowning the head of Cool Chris Is the
'80's rockabilly doo jutting defiantly over
his forehead. Spots of genuine grease
glisten on Ihe shoulders of his leather
Jacket.
It occured one Intoxicated evening lo
Cool Chris that It would be a truly cool
thing to go to Frank's and get trashed for
fifty days In a row. The general public was
Inclined to make light of his Intent until
about day twenty-seven. However by then
Chris' cash flow had been seriously
depleted, and he was In need of a
generous patron to keep his vision of a fifty
day marathon alive. He (ound one, unexpeclantly. In the oilier students living in his
dormitory. A "Keep Chris In Frank's Fund"
was established and small bul steady donations began lo reach Ihe bar-weary student.'
For his part, Cool Chris leap! lo Ihe task al
hand with a new vigor and grim determination thai was, lo the average mortal,
godlike. By day fifty, Chris was In good
spirits, and his academic career In ruins.
The fateful night came and ended In joyous
celebration. The man, now a legend, had
been drunk In Frank's for an epic monthand-a-half. When asked how he foil now
lhat this Inspiring test of human will and
physical endurance was al an end, Cool
Chris smiled shyly and said, "Drunk."
T
he shock of the rock blasting from
the speakers
leaves
me
speechless m o m e n t a r i l y . It
always takes several minutes to adjust to
the Insane sound level in Frank's Living
Room,but once made, screaming Into your
drinking partner's ear seems almost
natural. Roaring through the stereo is Tom
Verlalne, guitar squealing, whining about
something or other. I grip the glass of beer
tighter to steady myself, and watch a group
of college men attempt to impress their
dates with Informed commentary about
what's currently cool In the American
music scene. One of the slicker ones
notices me nodding to the beat. He approaches. His hair is suitably new wave, rising suspiciously above his head, chopped
short and savage up front, jutting out long
and awkward In Ihe rear. He wears a
leather jacket of course, but an unfashlonably expensive one, A gold earring
pokes through his right ear.
He speaks, "This Is Television, right
man?"
I glance over and see the girls watching
him. I must be cooler than usual this evening. A h , what the hell, 1 decide. "Yeah,
man," He smiles In vapid appreciation or
anxious relief.
"I just wanted to make sure." He returns
to his groupies.
Tonight's gonna be a bad one. I'm in a
rotten mood. When I'm In a rotten mood 1
get, as one friend has observed, "curl and
nasty." Leaning up against the Flash Gordon plnball machine. I'm striking what I
hope is a devastatingly casual pose as I
check out the evening's performers. The
place Is pretty empty tonight, sheltering
nothing more than the usual assortment of
habitual drinkers and potential wife
beaters. They look a bit disappointing this
night, I may have to put on a show of my
own.
Leo Is at the bar as he is every night. He
has weekends lo himself and his own
outrageous drinking habits, but while on
duly I have never seen him touch anything
more than the odd Helneken. He's constantly offered drinks, shots, maybe even
sexual favors, but as far as I can discern he
continually turns them down. Leo takes his
Job seriously. During busy stretches, Leo Is
a fireball behind the bar, working with the
efficiency of a shot of good whiskey. Pausing to take an order at one end of the bar,
he quickly catches a snatch of a joke from a
friend, makes It to the cash register at the
center, throws together a generous to
powerful drink at the other end and still
manages to squeeze in a game of plnball.
This Monday evening is slow and Leo
has plenty of time to challenge Flash Gordon, bul chooses not to. He stands by the
cash register surrounded by the bottles of
whiskey, wine, and other assorted booze
that make up his livelihood and silently
surveys his drunken dominion. I'm standing next to Chris and he is very happy,
He has brought a new-found drug that he
is especially happy with. It Is contained In a
small red vial labelled "Rush." Poppers as it
Is known lo the homosexual crowd, where
Chris discovered it.
Basically, the stuff works like instant
brain damage. The user places his nose
over the opening and Inhales deeply. For
the next forty seconds his pulse rate will Increase alarmingly as his face reddens and
his head and senses reel spasmodically. It's
all perfectly legal and a hell of a lot of fun,
but at Franks? Unheard of! The evil vapor
Is strictly a disco drug and 1 have never
seen it used elsewhere. Still Chris Is insistent, and waves the open bottle In front of
my face, taunting me. I breathe deeply.
Nothing happens for a second so I make
the mistake of Inhaling more through the
other nostril. Before I can finish my head
feels like it is about to explode and The Living Room begins to swirl crazlly. I latch onto a pole lhat stands Inexplicably In the
center of the smoke filled room. "Jesus
Christ!" Chris giggles and pushes the bottle
into his nose. "Jesus Christ!" I shout this
time and press my hands against the side of
my head to keep my brain from smashing
through my skull. People look over with
some interest as I begin to cackle with that
diabolical edge only artificially Induced
laughter possesses.
I asked Chris out for a drink this evening.
We haven't been out for a long lime and
I'm hoping to have a good night, bul at the
rate we are consuming beer. It won't matter
In a little while.
Chris leans over to me. "So big guy,
what have you been up to lately?"
"Same crap as usual," I reply. "Not studying and drinking too much," I pause.
" O h , and my woman's left me." The last
doesn't come off as nonchalantly as I
hoped.
Chris looks concerned. " O h . I'm sorry to
hear that, You two seemed to be doing
great, what happened?" I Just shrug.
Though I'd like to talk about it, I can't seem
to bring myself to. Besides I despise "that
women done me wrong" conversation at
bars. "Fuck It," I mutter to myself. Chris is
silent for a moment. "Well at least you've
got a reason to get drunk."
I change the subject and the mood again
by grabbing for the Poppers. Whew!
Massive brain damage, deformed children,
but Jesus, what a quick high. Lisa, one of
the best drinking partners I know in
Albany, a woman who has drunk construe*
tlon workers under the table, steps over to
us. " Y o u boys belter go easy on lhat stuff."
Chris responds by inhaling from the bottle,
His face reddens almost immediately as his
eyes water, and a drugged smile grips his
face. Lisa takes the vial and soon joins him
above the crowd. This round I just watch.
An old Beatles' tune drifts over the
stereo.
"/ got something to say that might cause
you pain,"
Ihe new waver shouts lo his date. "See this
place. Even when they play "Beatles" they
play cool "Beatles."
"// / catch you talking to that boy again
I'm going to let you down and leave you
flat!"
I'm dancing awkwardly to Ihe music, no
one is watching me and I couldn't care less
anyway.
"Like I told you before."
Lisa smiles at me indulgently, her eyes
glistening in pain from the Irritating
cigarette smoke. Chris lowers his head
drunkenly and pushes his hands together
almost to the beat.
"Oh, you can't do that!"
John Lennon's youthful voice invigorates
me. Another blast of Rush helps out.
"Jesus, Mary, and Saint Joseph!" Leo
laughs again at my antics. The new wave
intruders watch me with what I hope is
growing unease, but probably only
boredom. I glare at them. 1 resent them.
They come into my Living Room and
make it fashionable. They hear that it's
dark, dirty and loud, that the designer Jean
crowd mock It, and they come here lo spite
social conceit, not realizing that they create
their own by doing so, I come here to
drink. On this evening as on so many
others I have done so too much. I have
reached that stage of intoxication where
even melancholy thoughts can prove Incapacitating. I make my way to the bar
where I collapse on a stool. Another pitcher Is ordered and glasses filled all
around. Two dollars and fifty cents and
one can get very senseless.
Three men walk in and they are looking
mean and drunk already. At Frank's the
always tender balance between a student
hangout and a townle bar is shakily main-
tained. Those three — one a long-haired,
massive beast, another a well-built crewcutted obvious sociopath, and the final one a
greasy, simpering sleaze— could upset that
balance. The angry crew cut, wearing a
faded denim Jacket and a deranged expression, bumps Into me. "Excuse me," he
croaks Into my ear, pressing his face
against the side of my head.
I haven't been In a fight since eighth
grade when Jimmy Nolan beat the shit out
of me, and he was In seventh, so I'm not
about to mfx It up with a crazed sociopath
In Frank's. "That's okay," I smile back. He
looks disappointed. The longhaired beast
goes over to play some video madness.
Leo does not like the way these guys
look and although they are all obviously
over nineteen he proofs them anyway
Fortunately the greasy sleaze has not
bothered to bring identification with him,
There Is a shout as someone makes a good
shot at the dart board as Leo smiles cordially, "Sorry bro, but I can't serve y o u . "
The angry crewcut spits, "Fuck you!" at
Leo, whose smile remains. "Fuck you! I'll
beat the shit out of you right here." He
slarts moving towards the other side of ihe
bar. Great, I think, these three lunatics
jump Leo and I'll have to Join the fun just
out of loyalty, The long harried beast
comes over from the video and immedlalely sizes up the situation. Placing a calm
hand on his partner's shoulder he says.
"C'mon man. Let's just go," Probably been
arrested before under similar circumstances, I decide. His truculent pal
gazes at him for a moment as if trying to
remember if he has met this guy before and
then abruptly heads for the door, the
greasy sleaze tailing fast behind. The beast
saunters after them. When the sociopath
gets to the door he slams it three or four
times against the wall, screaming
something unintelligible. The greasy sleaze
follows his lead, the long-haired, beast
strolls out, no comment, and 1 breathe
easier.
Andre, a long-time regular who can
usually be found reclining al Ihe bar in between weaves to the bathroom, mutters
"Assholes," and the incident Is closed. Leo
returns to his post by the cash registei
Chris and Lisa have not even noticed the
performance but shriek once again in
delight as the Rush tears through their brain
tissue. The new wave Intruders have
departed without my notice, and I can feel
lhal post synthetic ecstasy depression laying a grip on my spirit. A cockioach makes
a quick steal across the (ace of the bar. I
allow It to pass unmolested, "Jesus," I mutter to myself, bars are miserable places for
social Interaction.

F.nglish could pull that off, and Pryce's Mr.
Dark looks like he take tea every afternoon
In between stealing souls.
The only man standing between Dark
and Green Town is the aging librarian
Charles Halloway (Jason Robards). The
old man Is riddled with guilt because his
weak heart denies him the chance to be a
real, "active" father to his son Will. With his
theatrical jowls, and voice like Ihe deplhs of

The carnival arrives under the cloak o(

lbany lost a legend, a man respected by friend
and foe alike when Mayor Erastus Corning II
died on May 28. " T h e M a y o r " dominated his
city in an unprecedented manner for 41 years, exercising
nearly absolute control over ihe city and the Democratic
Party. The new mayor, Thomas Whalen I I I , will probably
be tested early and strongly in his ability lo keep the formidable organization coherent.
, As Ihe new mayor plots the course of his administration
we hope Ihal he doesn'l overlook a rather large portion of
his constituency — students. SUN YR students, alone, account for some 15,000 Albany residents. This figure
doesn't even include the numerous other colleges in
Albany.
Nevertheless, studcnl relations w i l h Whalen seem l o be
off to a shakey start. It began last May, when IhcnCommon Council President Wlialcn Irycd lo call o f f
OCA's Party-in-thc-Park, fearing security problems.
Similar events had not caused problems In Ihe past and his
fears were unsubslanlated. A peaceful, orderly crowd
proved the point.
Most recently, Whalen has come oul against students'
request for an additional polling place, claiming the two
present on-campus cites adequately "accomodate"
Students, Perhaps the students who have access to these
polling places arc accomodated but this says nothing for
Ihe voters on Colonial and half o f Dutch Quads. They are
forced lo travel o f f campus l o a site that Is already 500
registered voters above it's legal limit.
These confrontations along with certain statements —
" I consider them (students) to be temporary residents"
and " I t would be ideal i f all students could live oncampus" — can't help but give one the Impression that
Whalen views students as little more than another
headache. This is not a good way to start o f f a new administration.
Students are more than " t e m p o r a r y " residents. They
arc citizens who spend valublc years o f their lives here.
Students contribute culturally and financially to Albany.
Many businesses thrive during our ten-monlh presence.
And despite Ihe mayor's statements to the contrary, many
'Jo slay in Albany and make substantial contributions.
Granted, 42 years of uninterrupted rule by one man is
hard lo follow. Indeed, Whalcn's position may well be
one o f the most unique in ihe nation and he has made a
number o f moves toward needed reforms. Nevertheless,
we have found his attitude toward studenls to be less than
desirable. He has however, shown a willingness lo talk lo
student representatives. We can only hope this will lead
him lo a greater appreciation o f students in the community.

cry out, yes! Rape makes tin incredible amount ol' trouble
in the lives of women, whether or no) ihey have been victimized. Worse yet, if tlie woman knew' the man who raped
her she often has lo face mote trouble than if she did not.
Know ledge of ihe rapist docs not logically spur on a conviction, but Instead illoglcally perpetuates the "blame ihe vict i m " syndrome, For example, there is the rape date. Ibis
lypc o f tape is often accompanied by the myth thai the
female provoked i l . What if the victim was walking to her
home, alone al night? The response — "she wauled to be
raped," or worse yet, "she asked for i t . " Find me a woman
Who wauled lo be raped. Better yet, and quite a difficult
task, find me a woman who has walked down lite street
alone in the dark and not fell her heart tale increase until
her tin oat begins to sob. I am tired, in fact exhausted, of
having to walk always accompanied by fear.
I hope it has been made clear thai rapists arc "nice guys"
too!

Unfortunately, ihe Alhanv Stale women's
Softball team round themselves as anothci example of a team being unable 10 repeal as
champions, as they had to settle lot i h i i d
place in the N Y S A I A W playoffs, held here ai
Albany the weekend of May 13 and 14.
The defending champions opened ihe
eight-team lournamenl In defeating Buffalo
State, before losing lo eventual champion
Cortland in the semifinals. The Danes then
came back lo defeat Brock port and gain third
place.
The Red Dragons of Cortland, who went
on lo defeat Oswego Stale in Ihe championship game, were simply loo overpowering for
Albany. Combining strong pitching with
timely hilling, the Dragons coasted lo a 6-2
win. Some shaky fielding early In the game
hurl Albany's chances, and Cortland shut
down the Dane bats lot most of ihe game.
Despite Ihe disappointment of not being
able to take the crown again, there wete
many bright spots lo look back on for coach
Lee Rhenish and hei squad, as well as many
things to look fowurd lu in I9K4.
To begin with the Danes finished Ihe
season with an outstanding record of 15-4,
for a winning percentage ol .789. Included in
those 15 victories was a nine game winning
streak, aftet Ihe leam dropped its l u - i two
games of the yeai.

Freshman pitcher Wendy Williams, also
named lo the All-Tournumenl learn, did a
simply superb job on ihe mound all year
long. Considering the fact thai she has three
years of varsity play ahead of her, opposing
batters will find it very lough to hit the ball
against Albany for a long while.
The Danes will also return with their entire
starling infield, f l u i d hascwoman Nancy

livery spoi is season is like a title al an amusement park
It goes up, ii falls down, it hits curves and goes through
tunnels, hut after it's all over there is always one special
pan of it thai is remembered. For any leam, looking hack
on a season consists of focusing on that one filing I lint
made thai year special. As the specifics of Ihe whole
season become blurry, something remains crystal clear,
iliat clement that represents the team and their season.
As those athletes who competed for Albany State Great
Dane teams this pasl year reflect on their seasons, Ihey
will recall thai game or match Ihal sums up whal being a
Great Dane was all about.
A 25 second span on October 9 will he forever etched in
the minds of those who played for Coach Hob Fold's
football team. The jubilation of an apparent winning
touchdown by halfback John Dunham turned into tears
of disbelief as Southern Connecticut's Steve Compltcllo
look the ball and a possible number one national ranking
for Albany Into the end zone, giving the Owls a 16-13 victory on University Field in one of the most dramatic
finishes witnessed here since the football program began
nine years ago.
The football team finished the season with a 6-3 record
despite injuries lo All-American Jim C'anfield ami starling
quarterback T o m Prati. Dave Hardy sparked a lough
Dane defense and the running attack of Dunham and
Dave Soldini led file Albany offense.
The men's basketball leam will have iwo memories of
the season, one pleasant one disappointing. The Danes
rolled, winning eight of their first nine games, bill Ihe one
that stands out is Ihe title game of Ihe Ithaca Invitational
Tournament in early December. Senior co-captain Mike
Oalto led the team in their finest performance of ihe
season by scoring 25 points and being named Ihe M V T .
That high was not to be matched all year. As the Danes
stumbled through ihe second half of Ihe season, Ihe hope
and expectations of Ihe beginning of the season dissolved
into a bitter loss al the SUN YACs in Ihe opening round lo
Buffalo State. As the rest of the team watched, John
Dieckelman led file leam through out Ihe year with
another banner season, typified by Ihe score in the Huff.
State game early in the first half: Buffalo Stale 15, John
Dieckelman 13.
The women's sofiball had won Ihe Slate Championship
in I982 but still had a goal that eluded Ihem last year.

I he men's soccer team suffered through a hard-fought

handed his first losing season. The leam was so close lo
the lop bin was just unable lo make it over that hump lhat
separates the successful teams from ihe tines that can only
sit back and ihink abotti whal might have been. Perhaps it
was ihe final game against a scrappy North Adams icam
that will be remembered. The Danes look file early lead,
only to fall behind, before their determination showed as
they lied ihe game and sent ii into overtime. But ihe leam
came up shorl again, jtisi as il had inosi of Ihe season, as
North Adams scored in overtime lo win the game.

opponent. The Danes managed lo gel one home

game ai Bleeckcr Stadium (now home of the AlbanyColonie A's) against Union best portrayed ihe troubles
Ihe Danes had Ibis year. The game was delayed for an
hour because a track meet was being run. The first inning
