Danes lose to Ithaca; face Hofstra tomorrow
By Marc Schwnrz
SPORTS EDITOR
Ithaca, N. Y.
The young Albany Stale Great Danes arc
gearing up for their second test in what might
prove 10 be a painful learning season.
The Danes will travel to Hempstead
tomorrow night to take on the Hofstra
University Flying Dutchmen looking for their
first win of this football year. Last week,
Albany lost 10 the Ithaca College Bombers
23-0 in a game played before 4,018 fans at
South Hill Field in Ithaca.
The Bombers scored the first two times
they had the ball, traveling 77 and 99 yards to
move out to an early 13-0 lead. From there
they held the Danes to only 186 total yards
and added 10 second half points for the final
margin of victory.
The young and inexperienced Albany offensive line hud trouble handling the Ithaca
defense, which inlcudcd returning AllAmericans Jeff Stone and Bill Sheerin. The,
two combined for four of the six Bomber
quarterback sacks and Sheerin added a fumble recovery. The Albany front line features
only one returning starter and two of the five
are freshmen.
While the Ithaca defense was controlling
the line of scrimmage and preventing Ihc
Danes from posing any serious offensive
threat, the Bomber offense opened up strong
against the Albany defense. Starling quarterback Kurt DeLuca threw a nine yard strike to
Kevin Finn to cap off the opening drive of
the day.
On Ithaca's second possession, following a
punt by Albanv's Mark Oalusky that died on
the one-yard line, the Bombers marched
down the field In 11 plays and scored on a
13-yard gallop by halfback Howard Horton.
Horton gained 35 yards on that drive and
finished the day with 77 yards on 13 carries.
The Dane defense then came alive and held
the Bombers in check the rest of the half and
for most of the third quarter. But the Albany
offense was unable to put any points on the
board and was hurt by five turnovers.
Albany Head Coach Bob Ford, although
disappointed by the outcome, did find some

positive points. "I don't think wc quit. It was
a good game to get under our belts, I'm not
discouraged at all." Ford added that the
main problem with his team is their lack of
experience, especially on offense, "We only
have two people who started on offense at
their positions before on a varsity level. Wc
will eventually become a good football team
this year. The question is when. We have
good people here, they are just inexperienced."
Tomorrow night the Danes face another
lough opponent in the Flying Dutchmen.
Albany will have to contend with a multifaceted offense and defense that routed lona
30-0 last week. Under the leadership of third
year coach Mickey Kwiatkowski, Hofstra is
looking for a spot in Ihc NCAA playoffs.
Featuring a well-balanced offense that
mixes up their running attack with the passing game, the Albany defense will have to be
ready for any type of attack, according to
Dane assistant coach Mike Toop, Lust week,
Hofstra was led by quarterback Rich Codclla
who threw for three touchdowns and scored
one himself. Bob McKcnmi powered the
rushing attack with 73 yards on 13 carries.
Defensively, the Flying Dutchmen totally
shut down lona, according to Toop. Led by
Iheir big defensive tackle Chuck Choinski
(6-1, 255) and linebacker Jamie LaQclle (6-1,
235), Hofstra will throw different defensive
formations at the Danes. "They constantly
switch up their alignments to give different
looks. They disguise their defenses well,"
Toop said. That could present a problem for
Albany and their young offensive line, according to Ford.

Booters defeated in opener by Oswego, 2-1
By Mark I.evine
ASSOC1A TE sroR TS EDITOR
When the Albany Stale men's soccer team
looked at their 1983 schedule they knew they
would be in for some stiff competition with
three teams in their conference ranked in the
lop 10 in the New York Slate Division III
preseason poll. However, one Icam they did
not look upon as one of their tougher opponents was the Oswego Lakers, the Danes'
opposition in their home and season opener.
Yesterday afternoon at University Field the
Lakers provided the Danes with a very rude
surprise, lopping Albany by a score of 2-1.
Oswego's Eric Anderson scored Ihc gamewinner, his second goal of the game with 8:30
left to play in regulation time. Dane fullback
Dominique Cadet, trying to give Ihc ball to
goalie Tom Merritt in his own penalty area,
had his pass intercepted by Oswego's Marc
Thoiner, who crossed it in front. Anderson
deflected the ball past a helpless Merrill,
breaking a l-l tic and giving the Lakers a 2-I
win.
"We had a couple of lapses, and wc gave
ihem an opportunity to score," commented
head couch Hill Schieffelin following the loss.
"This was one we shouldn't have lost."
This may prove lo be an understatement,
as the Danes now must hit the road for three
straight games. Saturday, Albany will visit
Manhaltanvillc, and from there things really
start to get lough. Wednesday, Albany will
pay a visit to Pittsburgh and Saturday the)
will venture to Cortland. Both arc top 10
teams and both arc conference games, so it is
vital that the Danes get off to a good starl.
Four out of five conference games are on the
road, with the only home game against Division I Onconta.
Albany is sporting a new look in I983, with
a lineup that features eight players who did
not appear on last year's squad that finished
with a disappointing 4-6-3 record, Wednesday's starting lineup also saw four freshmen
make their initial appearance in Albany
uniforms.
On offense, the Danes boast a talented hut
relatively untested trio. Center-forward
Leslie Severe returns to the Albany lineup
this year after coming back to school last
January. Severe last played two years ago,
and Schieffelin feels he is "a potential AllAmerican." Joining him up front are junior
Mike Williams at left wing, and freshman
Tihan Presbie at right wing. Presbie scored
the Danes' lone goal in the loss to Oswego.
The Albany offense this year will be missing
the services of 1982 All-Slate center-forward
Jerry Isaacs, who left school.
The midfield Is also a talented group, but
has not yet had much experience playing
together. Center halfback Jeff Hackctt is a

key player for Albany this year. A transfer
from Fulton-Montgomery Community College and former member of the national team
of Barbados, Hacked should be a welcome
addition lo Ihc Danes. "Jeff is a tremendous
team player," Schieffelin said. "He is a
leader, and he is one of the most skilled
players in the conference, if not the
country." Hackctt's leadership skills have
earned him the title of co-captain in his first
year as a Great Dane. Joining Hackctt in the
midfield arc senior Matt McSherry at right
halfback and another freshman, Daniel Colon, at left halfback.
The defense is headed by senior co-captain
Mike Miller at stopper. Miller was an allconference performer last year, and at 6'4"
should provide stability on the back line.
Joining him arc senior Robert Garrett at left
fullback, freshman Francisco Duartc at right
fullback, and freshman Allen Wcstcrman at
sweeper back. Sophmorc Tom Merrill
returns to Albany lo begin his second year as
varsity goalie. Merrill was an all-conference
player last year, so the Danes appear to be
solid in net, although presently they lack a
sufficient backup.
There arc many other players who will
open as substitutes but should see plenty of
action. Senior midfielder Man McSherry saw
lots of playing time against Oswego, and
Schieffelin says he is "blossoming into a very
solid soccer player." Also sure lo see playing
lime, according to Schieffelin, arc junior
midfielder Scott Cohen, freshman forward
Darwin Valencia, freshman forward Mclvin
Espinal, and fullback Cadet.
Schieffelin feels his them is very talented,
but also sees his competition as very rugged.
"Seven out of the lop 10 learns in the stale
are from our conference," he noted. "It is
oneof the toughest conferences in the country. But wc should be an exciting lean) thai is
enjoyable to watch. If we get a couple of
good wins under our bell we could be a very
dangerous team and potentially one of the
best in the stale. The word is out that we have
a good Icam." Hopefully, the top-notch
competition will bring out Ihc best in the unproven, bul very talented Great Danes.

Faulty fire alarms cause evacuations on Indian
By I'hyliss Lcrkowitz
The newly installed fire alarms in Mohawk
Tower on Indian Quad set off seven false
alarms in four days this past weekend causing
all the students in the Tower to be evacuated.
According to Quad Coordinator Gayle Griffith all but one of the alarms were set off
either by steam from the showers or cigarette
smoke in the suite room.
Although all uptown quads have the new
sensors in the suite rooms, the problem is
unique to Mohawk Tower, Griffith said,
because of the close proximity of the sensors
lo the bathroom showers.
The new smoke sensors are of a different
type than the ones contained in the dorm
rooms. The new detectors are photo-electric
smoke sensors which, according to Director
of Physical Plant Dennis Stevens, work on a
light sensitive system which, when blocked by
smoke or steam, triggers the alarm. He noted
that "the dorm rooms contain ionlzationlypc detectors which arc sensitive to a different type of smoke." The fault, Stevens
stressed, was not in the system, but in the setup of the detectors in a "slcam-pronc" area.
The course of action the Plant will be taking, Stevens said, is to disconnect the photoelectric sensors in each suite in Mohawk and
relocate them, two to a Boor, outside of the
suite room doors. This is scheduled to begin
Monday, September 26, he added.
Director of Environmental Health and
Safety, Karl Shaar said that the new sensors
were part of an ongoing university campaign
to update campus safety. He stressed that
'the university is under no legal obligation to
lo this, but in the past few years (the Plant)
las installed smoke detectors in all dorm
rooms, smoke sensors in suite rooms, ABC
iry chemical fire extinguishers in suite
ooms, and is planning to install photoelectric sensors on Alumni Quad in the near
future." There have also been photo-electric
sensors installed in all dorm hallways, he added, which arc directly tied into the dorm
alarms and the Plant.
Both Stevens and Shaar feci that students
ihould be aware of what fire safety features
are available and how to use them correctly.
"Buildings arc only as safe as the care people
take. Carelessness can jeopardize the health
and safety of all the residents," said Stevens.
"All the dorms have heat and smoke detectors in the dorm rooms which sound off only
n the room," Shaar explained. In case of
Tire, he noted, these will alert the students so
they can go to the pull station outside of their
suite, or in the dorm hallway, which then sets
iff the dorm alarm. Every hall has one, he
iddcd, and each tower has two pull stations,
located near the stairwells. "The stairwells in
the tower arc separate from one another and
fire-safe," Shaar said, "but the doors must
be kept closed at all times to contain smoke
and fire, as should the doors to the lounges in
the low-rises."
"Smoke detectors in the rooms can be
csted by either pressing a small button (it
nust be held for at least half a minute) or
lulling down the red lever on the side all the
vay," Shaar said. If anyone thinks their
•moke detector doesn't work, they should
notify their R.A., he added.
Dutch Quad has also been having smoke
alarm problems. The problem was noticed
when a resident of one of the dorms, Eric
Levcnthal, decided lo test his smoke detector
ind found that it apparently wan'l working.
Lcvcnthal's suitcmalcs tested the one in their
room, wiih the same result. When Levcnthal
called the Office of Residential Life, he was
told by Assistant Director of Residential Life
James Hallcnbcck that he had to report it to
his Resident Assistant who would in turn
notify Ihc Dorm Director who would notify
the Office of Residential Life who would
notify the Plant Department, who would
replace it if needed.
Levcnthal cited a few oilier cases .1 Dutch
Quad in which the detectors apparently
weren't working and was told by Hallcnbeck
that "many smoke detectors on Ihc quad
were not in working order," bul didn't know
how many. The "majority of alarms just
haven't been tested properly," by students.
If a student just plugs in the alarm and then
decides to lest it, he should give it about a
minute to warm up.
He also noted that all room alarms arc
tested during the summer and inter session,
ind all building alarm systems are checked
monthly.
SA Vice-President Jeff Schneider became
aware of the problem and got in touch with
the Office of Residential Life, He was told by
John Martonc, Director of the Office of
Residential Life, that the problem was out of
the jurisdiction of the Office of Residential
Life.

International Programs Director Alex Shane
; Students were victims of international furor.
Ten Russian exchange students who were supposed to
attend SUNYA this fall are still in Moscow, victims of the
international furor resulting from the Soviets destroying a
commercial jet liner on September 1, According lo Alex
Shane, director of the Office of International Programs,
the students' flight was canceled when Canada suspended
all Aeroflot operations in Montreal.
The students and their advisor were scheduled to arrive
September 8,Shane said. He noted, that they had to land
in Canada because American airports have been closed to
Aeroflot since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1981.
The students are from the Maurice Thorcz Institute of
Foreign Languages in Moscow. As part of the exchange, 9
SUNY students and an advisor left for Moscow on
September 12. They arrived a day late on Sept. 14 after an
overnight slop in Amsterdam and a detour through Vienna.
Shane continued, saying it is "highly unlikely that the
Soviets would pul them (the students) on any other carrier
than Aeroflot." " The students will not arrive until
Aeroflot resumes service 10 Montreal," he explained. The
Canadian government suspended Aeroflot privclcgcs for
sixty days on September 6, Shane commented on how
long the waiting list will be when service is resumed, quesioning whether students will have priority.
The Soviet students were to have laken courses in Conversational English, English translation, Modern
American History, French, and Speech Composition and
Presentation, Shane said. The speech course has now
been filled with American students, he added.
In a memo sent from the Office of International Programs to professors who were to have been teaching the
Soviets, they were advised not to expect the students' arrival until at least the second quarter, sometime around
the first week in November. Professors were asked to
keep the scheduled course hours open, and warned that
they might have as few as two days notice before classes
begin.
Shane stressed that never in the ten years of this program has there been any similar disruptions. SUNYA and
SUNY-Ccntral co-administer seventeen exchange programs with twenty-seven universities throughout the
world. Out of the almost 530 foreign students on campus
this fall, 85 are exchange students, Shane noted. The exchange students generally live on one of the"quads paying
tuition equivalent 10 what Ihcy would pay at their home
universities, he added. Also, he noted, exchange students
are usually responsible for their airfare. American
students at foreign universities pay for SUNY tuition and
Iheir airfare, plus the cost of room and board at lite host
university, lie explained.
Shane described the exchange as a service "providing
an international experience (which) is important because
it enables college students to experience life in another
culture and have first hand contacts with students of the
other country."
Advisor of International Students Dr. J. Paul Ward
refused lo comment.

Riots leave 11 dead
Manila, Philippines
(AP) President Ferdinand Marcos Thursday raised the threat of reimposing martial
law and ordered his troops to shoot if
necessary to counter anti-government rioting
that left 11 dead and 200 wounded.
But he said he was not thinking of reimposing martial law "right now."
The street violence Wednesday - exactly
one month after the assassination of opposition leader Benigno Aquino - was the
bloodiest in Marcos' 18-year rule.
"I warn the opposition - do not force my
hand, do not compel me to extremes that you
already know of," Marcos said in a nationally televised address Thursday. The "extremes" were an apparent reference to the
imposition of the martial law in 1972.
Although Marcos lifted martial law in
1980, strict controls remain. He said an order
he had given to the military lo observe "maximum tolerance" with demonstrators, including banning anti-riot troops from carrying guns, was being reversed.

Procedural error results in missed bus fee vote
By Nicole Keys
A resolution recommending the delay of a
proposed bus fee was not voted on at Monday's University Senate meeting because it
was mistakenly not labeled for action, according to SA President Rich Schaffer,
Schaffcr proposed Ihc resolution recommending the fee not be imposed this
academic year to allow a task force assigned
by University President Vincent O'Lcary to
fully examine the issue and its alternatives.
The senate's Executive Committee voted
on Sept. 7 to take the resolution to the floor
of the senate as an item marked for action,
Schaffcr said.
Senate proposals can be headed as either
"action" or "information" items. When
taken to the senate floor, only an action item
may be acted and voted upon. An Information item may only be discussed.
When University Senate members received
the agenda the Friday before the meeting, the
bus resolution appeared as an "information"
item, according to Schaffcr. He and others
said that apparently English professor
Ronald Bosco, the senate chair, had misinterpreted the proposal from the Executive Committee. Bosco could not be reached for comment. According to Kendall Birr, Chair of
the Executive Committee, the resolution was
intended to be an action item. "I assumed it
would come to the senate for action," Birr
said.
When the resolution was brought to the
floor as an information item, Cathy I.aSusa,
University Senate liaison, moved that the
resolution become an action item placed
under new business, but failed to get the twothirds vote necessary to secure the motion.
The vote was 35-35.
Monday's meeting was "the only time the
senate would have had to discus; and have
time to take action on the resolution," Birr
said, adding that the misinterpretation cost
students this chance.
The task force designated by O'Lcary to
research the bus fee issue consists of three
students: Schaffcr, Off-Campus Coordinator

Student leaders Interviewed feel the task
force needs more time to resolve the issue of
bus fees, which is now in its seventh year of
debate. "O'Lcary is not giving enough time
for the task force," said Student Association
Vice-President Jeff Schneider. "You can't
rush things like this. This is a decision that
will affect the campus for a long time."
The students arc trying to get across that it
is not so much the bus fee that is the problem
but rather its future implications once It is
implemented.
"The Issue is not the $10 fee," Aulctta
said. Studcnl acceptance of this fee is high
because Ihe fee is deceptively low, she said.
"Students arc not taking Ihe bus fee seriously."
She added that students arc unaware of the
underlying implications of Ihc bus ice, and
stressed lhal with implementation and acceptance of the bus Ice, other fees implemented
lo replace stale operations deficits arc more
likly to occur in ihc fulurc.
This fee is not covered by financial aid and
would be a burden to students with fixed incomes, Aulctln pointed out. "Willi tuition
covering all of basic support services students
should nol have lo pay more fees," she said.
The administration faced budget cuts
which resulted in Ihc loss of 113 posiiions
iince March 1982 and would be facing more
cuts next year, according to Vice-President of
Finance and Business Hartigan, all of which
contributed lo the administration's defense
in implementing the bus fee.
"I as an administrator and the administration generally have wrestled with Ihe problem
over the past five years, and have made purposeful decisions lo preserve the bus
system," Hartigan said.

contractdispute
dispute
By Jerry Campione
Apparent misunderstandings between the
Student Association and a bus company
hired by SA caused several hundred students
lo be stranded downtown Friday night, according to SA Vice-President Jeff Schneider.
Schneider said the Folsmbec Transportation Company broke their contract by not
contacting SA within 72 hours, the time
period specified in a contract mailed (0
Folmsbce in early September. Folsmbee
disagreed saying they had never even agreed
to definitely do the job.
As a result of the misunderstanding SA will
not be providing late night bus service this
weekend while it tries lo find another company. Schneider and SA Programming Director Richard Golubow are now working on
finding a company thai, according to
Schneider, "is efficient, dependable, and
reasonably priced." Hopefully, service will
be restored by next Friday, he added.
Despite the fact lhal this is what Schneider
calls "a blaianl breach of contract," he says
SA probably will nol pursue legal action.
"Although Mark Mischlcr (SA Attorney)
said that we do have legal recourse against
them (Folsmbee), he said it would take a long
time and cost money," Schneider asserted.
Besides, even if we did win, 1 wouldn't trust
Folmsbce to do the job. They don't seem 10
be dependable."
For the past several years, said Schneider,
SA has provided free round-trip transportation downtown on Friday and Saturday
night, "as a community service." The
University only provides bus service during
library hours, he said adding, "SA fills a gap,
it's basically a bar run."
This year, Schneider and Golubow were
faced with a budget of $80 per night for the
service and a raise in price of last year's carrier, The Brcnnan Bus Co., from $70 per
night to $95.
After contacting several carriers, SA struck
up an apparent oral agreement with the
Folmsbce Co. for a price of $75 per night for
one year. Schneider said he did this despite
Ihc fact that he hud been advised by Ann
Marie LaPorla, last year's SA VicePresident, nol lo use them. The price was Ihe
lowest he could find, however, and, since
budgeting for Ihe service was tight, he felt
obligated 10 save Ihe students' money.
In laic August, after making Ihc apparent
agreement, Golubow drew up a contract
which slated Ihe price, Ihe bus stops and Ihe
fact thai payment for the service would "be
made In advance upon receipt of a bill." The
conlraci, dated September 2, was then mailed
out with a letter advising Folmsbee to sign it
and return it along with a bill for the first
month's service, Golubow added.
By Tuesday, Sept. 13, the signed contract
still had nol been received, nor had a hill,
Golubow noted. After repealed attempts he
finally gol in contact with the bus company
and was informed by a secretary that the job
"had been put in the log book for Friday."
According lo Schneider, sometime bel-
"We have 92
funded groups
on campus who
use buses. We
definitely will
not recommend
Folmsbee.
They
don't seem to be
dependable."

ween lute Thursday and 5 p.m. Friday,
Folmsbee called and said they were "unable
to do the job." "I tried calling to find out if
it meant Friday, or the entire weekend, but
no one answered," said Schneider. He finally
gol through to Folmsbee on Tuesday, Sept;
20. "At first lie denied having an oral agreement with us," said Schneider. "Then he
said that he did but that he couldn't get
drivers to do the run. Apparently, he changed his mind."
Roger Folmsbce, a spokesman for the
company, had said thai he was "pretty sure
we could provide the service but that he had
to check with his drivers.'"' Upon checking,
said Folmsbee, he found lhal " n o one
wanted it."
"We'd had the job before and they (SA)
look ii away from us," said Folsmbee. "My
drivers didn't want il. We'd had problems
with kids getllng sick on the hoses."
Folsmbee also added thai the drivers weren't
happy about working until "3 or 4 in ihe
morning."
According lo Folsmbee, he had his
secretary contact SA "cither Tuesday or
Wednesday" to inform ihcn lhal they were
unable to do the job. When asked why he
hadn't returned the contract, Folmsbee
replied that he "didn't want a contract."
"At firsi they wanted two years, and I said
no. Then they mentioned one year. I didn't
want a contract, but they sent me one
anyway" said Folsmbec. "I still have it here,
but I'm not doing anything with it."
Even though Schneider feels there won't be
any legal action, he says thai Folsmbee is the
clear-cut loser in the case. "We have 92 funded groups on campus who use buses," said
Schneider. "They usually ask us which company lo use. We definitely will not recommend Folsmbee." What this amounts to is
the loss of thousands of dollars lo Folsmbee,
said Schneider.
Schneider and Golubow must now work
fast to find a replocement company. "This
lime," said Golubow, "we'll deal with the
company in person, not on the phone or
through Ihe mail."

Future is uncertain for aging Wellington Hotel Campus plans Women's Safety Awareness days
By Bob Gardinier
ASSOCIA TE NEWS EDITOR
The future of the Wellington Hotel, an optional dormitory facility for SUNYA
students, Is still uncertain after the University
refused to buy the hotel from the city this
past summer.
On June 17 Mayor Thomas Whalen III
and City Engineer James Waugaman conducted a tour of the building for university
officials President Vincent O'Leary and Vice
President for University Affairs Lewis
Welch, and others, with the hopes that the
University would buy the downtown structure.
According to Whalen the city offered the
whole structure to the University to be
redone as a SUNYA dormitory. "The
University turned it down because it would
cost too niuch to make it conform to dormitory standards," Whalen said.
"There was nothing about dollar price (for
the hotel), we just looked at it," said Welch.
"We looked at the heating systems, rooms,
roof, furniture and decorations and decided
that it would be millions of dollars over some
years to bring it to dormitory status," he
said. "It's an old building and the systems
and equipment are aging," he added.
As far back as last December Whalen announced that the City wanted to sell the hotel
and that it ran $144,000 in the red for the
1981-82 year. However, neither Whalen nor
Albany Corporation Counsel Vincent McArdle could specifically quote any additional
losses that the hotel might have incurred for
the 1982-83 year. Whalen did say though that
the hotel does continue to lose money.
"It (the hotel) is for sale but we have not
put it on the market," Whalen said.
For the past eight years the Wellington has
housed about 150 students per semester, according to SUNYA Director of Residential
Life John Martone. He explained that the
hotel has its own residential director who
takes care of all student requests for housing.
The university is simply a referral source for
the students who wish to, or have to live at
the hotel, he added.
"We don't want to be In the hotel
business," said McArdle, "It is not
something that a municipality should do."
The city simply wants to divest itself of the
hotel, he said, and is looking for someone to
buy it and operate It for the betterment of
downtown Albany,
The city of Albany bought the hotel In
1975 and SUNYA students have lived there
since that time. "Probably an arrangement
between the former mayor (Erastus Corning
II) and the University," said McArdle. "The
City bought the hotel because it is a prominent building on a prominent street and we
got it at a low price, only $100,000," he said.
The former owners foreclosed on the property and the City bought the hotel from a city
bank, McArdle added.
When asked about the security of the
students now living at the hotel, Welch commented that it depends on who buys it. "It's
200 spaces for students but there arc 5,000
off-campus students so that In totality It
might not be that bad," he said. "We have
been for years looking for additional campus
housing on or near the campus," sais Welch.
According to McArdle the hotel is in much
better shape than when the City originally
bought it. "Since then the City has put a half
a million dollars into It to refurbish it," he
said.
Because the hotel is owned by the City, Its
deficit is financed by city taxpayers and in
discussing the amount of revenue lost an
Albany Times Union article on Dec. 8, 1982,
pointed out that the hotel did business with a
"favored few ...with sometimes no attention
to state requirements about competitive bidding." According to the article the hotel took
in $361,922 in 1981-82, $175,913 of which
was collected from SUNYA students for their
rooms in the Howard Street portion of the
building. The rooms were rented for $550 per
semester.

Women's Safety Awareness
Days, a three day program beginning September 28, sponsored by the
President's Task Force on
Women's Safety, will provide a
forum to examine (he question of
women's safety on campus.
According to Crimes Against

New coordinator lives on campus
Central Council established the
position of SA off-campus coordinator Wednesday night, then appointed Suzy Aulctta to the position, and reviewed an audit of Student Association for the 1982-83
fiscal year. Previously, the position
was a professional one funded by
SA.
Aulctta, a Dutch Quad RA and
former Central Council member
will receive a stipend of $1375. The
council vote was 22-2-0.
Several off-campus residents
however, spoke in opposition to the
appointment. They argued that a
student living on-campus might not
be as effective as an off-campus student. They also criticized Schaffcr
for the selection procedure, saying
that not everyone had been given
adequate time to apply for the position. "What's not silting easy with
me," said off-campus coordinator
applicant Melinda Miller, "is the
excuse that she's (Auletta) been ap-

City Alderman Gerald Jennings,

Off-campus representative Dave
Silk and Colonial Quad representative Nancy Killian cast the votes
against appointing Auletta for the
position. Killian later said she voted
no because she felt a "substantial
number of constituents were obviously opposed to the appointment
of an on-campus person for an off jam pus position."
Silk agreed with Killian, adding
that "the total lack of respect
shown for the concept of fair interviews and equal chances for all applicants made it impossible for me
to support the President's appointment." He later noted, however,
that "the most important thing that
came out of (Wednesday night's)
meeting was that the lines of communication (between the executive

statements on the Record Co-op and other

Another precaution being taken against
embezzlement is bonding officers of large SA
organizations, Barsky said. This, Schaffer
explained, would provide insurance for any
missing money. "The Insurance company
covers the money and does a serious investigation, much more serious than could be
done within the campus," Schaffer explained.

A closer watch will be kept on student
group funds as a result of last year's $3,500
embezzlement by the University Cinema's
Executive Board, SA officials said.
According to SA President Rich Schaffer,
changes arc being made in the handling of
funds within campus organizations.
SA Controller Adam Barsky said he has:
designed a Central Sales office to regulate
ticket sales and revenues for SA funded
events.
Schaffer explained that this will reduce
"the number of people handling the money
for the larger organizations such as University Cinemas and UCB."
The office, which will be located next to
the Contact Office, will provide SA funded
groups with prenumbered tickets prior to
each event, Barsky explained. Students running the office will record the number of the
first and last ticket each group sells.
Revenues will be collected immediately
following an event and the number of tickets
issued will be reconciled with the amount of
revenue received, Barsky said.
Barsky said SA is also working with the
Accounting Club to develop specific projects, including a new inventory system for
the Record Co-Op, identifying and tagging
In addition, Barsky said, he plans to conduct more "spot checks" on groups spending
and revenues. "Groups found In violation of
SA policy will be subjected to disciplinary action," such as freezing their budget, Barsky
asserted.
The six University Cinema Board members
charged with embezzling SA funds, served IS
days each in Albany County Jail, arc on probation for three years, and were fined SI0O0
each. In addition, they were each required to
return $584 to SA.
One member, Jay Lustgartcn, has returned
his share of the money to SA. The other
students involved arc former cinema director
William Braddock, and Executive Board
members Michael Abneri. Michael Kromc ,

Academic cutbacks
have demoralized
college professors
Morgantown, West Virginia
(CPS) When West Virginia developed the
worst unemployment rate in the US and Guv.
Jay Rockefeller cut the state budget in
response, Dr. Donald Menzell figured it was
time to make a choice.
West Virginia University lold him he'd
have to forget getting any significant salary
increase for the second year in a row.
It was too much for the political science
professor, who not only wanted more money
but was dispirited by the constant cutbacks
and academic compromises forced by the
budget problems.
"I cannot function with that much instability," he complains. "If you are at all
professionally-minded, you cannot do that."
So Menzell went job hunting, finally finding an open spot at the University of South
Florida, where he'll start this December.
Menzell, of course, is jusl one of many college teachers and administrators who are
opening classes this fall trying lo escape
severe morale problems while keeping an eye
on the job market.
The severe budget culs of Ihc last three
years, in short, seem to be pushing teachers
over the edge this year.
No one knows exactly how many teachers
are moving. Estimates range from 30,000 lo
100,000. Most likely to move arc the
100,000-some non-tenured teachers now
working on U.S. campuses, says Irving Spilzberg, retiring head of the American Associalion of University Professors (AAUP), the
third biggest college teacher's union.
To cut, colleges have fired teachers, leaving students with fewer, more crowded class
sections from which to choose on many campuses. In some cases, whole academic departments have been abolished.
All kinds of students services — from
faculty evaluations to free phones in dorms
to campus escort services — have also been
axed at many schools.
And to raise more money, colleges have
been raising tuition and fees, sometimes by as
much as twice Ihc inflation rale.
Observers say that, even in light of improved economic indicators over the last six months, American higher education is in for more
of Ihc same in the near future.
"Even with a good year, we'll still probably have about the same amount of
unemployn
" predicts Illinois State's
M.M. Chancers, who tracks state funding of
higher education across the country.
"We've simply reached a stage where we
have to raise taxes to increase stale
revenues," he says. "If state services are going lo be maintained — education included
— slates have lo collect more in taxes."
"Stale funding culs are probably hitting
higher education hauler now than ever,"
adds Nancy Verde of the Education Commission or the States (ECS), based in Denver.
"We've had budget culs exceeding $75
million over Ihc lasl five years," reports
Charles Davis, spokesman for the 19-campus
California Stale University system.
And for 1983-84, "our system is in for increased culs and a marked increase in student
fees" in order to cope with the slate's projected $3 billion deficil, Davis says.
The woes arc national. Verde of the ECS
says the Pacific and Great Lakes stales are
suffering Ihc most. Missouri, Ohio and
Oregon colleges can also look forward to

College officials fear new round of budget cuts
(CPS) The halting economic "recovery" Isn't
cheering up too many college officials, who
now worry that even a faster approach of
prosperity may not prevent a new, even
deeper round of cuts in academic programs
and student services for the next school year.
"It's like running full speed ahead jusl lo
slay in one place," says Ken Kirkland, fiscal
affairs director for the National Conference
of Stale Legislatures (NCSL).
"Thirty-nine out of 50 states have already
cut their (higher education) budgets for this
year," he reports, "And there's certainly no
relief in sight for higher education."
Over the last year, bad business and
unemployment have cut the amount of

The dynamics of the president
W
.
"
hen the ASP endorsed Rich Schaffer for Student
Association president our one reservation was that
he was undynamlc. He has proved us wrong. His
battles with City Hall over the location of polling places
and his fights with the university administration over jusl i
about everything else have made him a media star
However, It seems his extreme confrontational attitude ha:
been counterproductive.
Schaffer's efforts this past summer were concentrated on
a head to head battle with Albany Mayor Thomas Whalen
over the placement of a new election district In Ward 15.
Schaffer argued for another voting booth on campus, saying that the vast majority of the people In the newly drawn
sixth election district are students. He said placing the
booth off campus is an attempt to the dilute the studcnl
vote, as well as being a dangerous commute for the student.
The city finally placed the booth at the Thruway House or
Washington Avenue. The city never said exactly why it op
poses another booth on campus, but it is safe to assume
they look at students as outsiders and don't want to cater to
them.
The Student Association argument is valid and must be
_
...• _ .
.. . . j
.. i
supported.. Essentially,
SA argues that
students
have every
right to vote In their college communities, and that
realistically, locating a polling place away from campus is
an effort to discourage student voting. In making his point,
however, Schaffer has found It necessary to make personal
attacks on the Mayor. "Well, If Mayor Whalen Is compar
Ing a given right (the right to vote) with a pie, he Is out ol
his mind," Schaffer said.
Statements that lack professionalism and that resort to
such harsh rhetoric certainly do not gain respect. A polished politician like Whalen can concentrate his response or
Schaffer's manner rather than his meaning. "I've had some
bad feedback from residents about some of the statements
that he's made, and I would prefer to deal with somebody
else from the student body, whoever that might be,"
Whalen stated.
Students arc continually struggling to be recognized as
adults and equal members of the Albany community. Yet
inane accusations and sarcasm can easily smother earnest
progress. There Is nothing more enjoyable for City Hall
and the Albany media than to put 'those kids' into their
proper places. Indeed a Times Union editorial had some
u
fun
r..« mocking
mnolrino Schaffer:
Rphnffer; "To
" T o hear
hei the president of the State
University at Albany Student Association tell it, you'd
think that Albany would be an ideal place to shoot a
remake of Gone With the Wind."
It is time for Schaffer to do a little maturing in the
presidential office. He obviously has the knowledge and the
research to make a large effect down at City Hall. He must
learn to stop criticizing people and start responding more
directly to statements. Schaffer is certainly an astute and
hard working individual, yet he has been unsuccessful in
properly displaying his many attributes.
Whalen Is correct in saying that Schaffer's "frontal attack really doesn't benefit the university or the
community." Yet the Mayor would be wrong in thinking
that Albany State doesn't have a qualified president.
While Schaffer is undoubtedly adversarial in his relations
with the city and the school administration, too often these
groups will take students for granted. Schaffer serves a
valuable role in preventing this by being a convinced, determined, and eloquent advocate of student rights.

Lost credibility a tragedy
The shooting down of Flight 007 by the Soviet military
was a tragedy. The obvious tragedy was the massacre of 269
innocent men, women, and children of various nationalities. This blatant waste of human blood though most
obvious isn't the only negative outcome. The general loss of
confidence and credibility in the Soviet government that Is
experienced by both policymakers and the American
general public is a true crisis In United States foreign
policy. How can we negotiate and trust a country capable
of reacting in such a harsh way and then promising they
would do it again?
Ronald Brant Gersten
I'm sure that most people that follow the press with any
kind of regularity are aware of the media overkill that this
issue has provoked. Therefore, I will not go through the
whole event but there are a few points that should be
remembered when one considers the Soviets patchwork explanation: There is no reason for the United States to use a
big slow moving airplane to do spying that could more easily be done with satellites, AWAC'i or eavesdropping.
Secondly, there is very little chance that a Soviet pilot could
have confused a spy plane with the object that flew with it's
lights on at 33,000 miles (commercial altitude in contrast
to 60,000 for spy planes) shaped like a 747 and at the time
far-eastern soviet military personnel are aware that a commercial jet flies adjacent to their airspace.
What this add:; up to Is the Incontrlvertablc fact that the
Soviet military cold bloodily shot at an aircraft known to be
a commercial passenger jet. We have heard with sorrow
about the lives of these pawns in the Superpower's game of
death. This tragic loss of life further emphasizes the need
for peaceful resolution of world conflict.
Which brings me lo a few months back when it appeared
the Soviets were truly serious about peace. After all they are
people. Andropov had made some concessions at the
START Talks, their was talk of a Reagan-Andropov summit, a grain deal was in the works, and a westernized
Hungary made itself obvious. The talk coming out of the
Kremlin was clearly that of peace seekers.
I had become what I considered a detentenik. I thought
to myself that Reagan is going to get us in trouble with his
harsh rhetoric calling the Soviet Union an "evil empire" as,
though they were insensitive killers! The United States
negotiations at Geneva seemed less than willing, we had
troops in Lebanon and advisors in El Salvador and Honduras. We semed like we had evolved Into a warlike power
with proxies doing our dirty work around the globe.
Well, I was completely wrong. I had become a victim ol
the polished Soviet propoganda machine. The Soviets
responsible for the mass murder are a group of middle aged
elderly men who have worked their way thru the system by
being yes men, part of the power elite and totally insensitive
to individual rights and lives. These are the qualities
rewarded with advancement by the giant Soviet
bureaucracy. For example, the reason the Soviet pilot did
not think of the innocent lives he was ending was because
he was so busy thinking about the pilot who in 1978 allowed
a commercial pilot to travel 2,000 miles into Soviet territory
unimpeded. The reason it must have been in the forefront
of his mind is that the pilot was another vlctm of the
Totalitarian Soviet Regime, he had been ordered killed for
his ineffectiveness.
How can we trust a system like this that isn't held accountable to anyone except the greyhaired men of the
Politoboro. Why should they abide by agreements thai are
unverifiable. They can say one thing and do another eonsistantly, one has to look no farther then the Madrid conference which included many references to human rights.
Like the freedom of movement of individuals which they
ore hardly sensitive to. It can safely be assumed most
everything out of Moscow is preconceived propaganda paying lip service to the foreign press.
Oviously we can't communicate and negotiate towards a
better world. But we must not be fooled into thinking that
the Soviets are anything less than they are. If one is curious
about what the Soviets "are" all one has to do is take old
Reagan speeches and add a few grains of salt.
The lost confidence In the Soviets desire for peace and
their sensitivity towards the much talked about masses both
Soviet and worldwide including those killed on Flight 007 is
a true tragedy with no solution in sight.

Stephen King At The Wheel
i
n today's book market. If you are a
fan of novels In the horror vein,
you are most likely a fan of
Stephen King. King's books seem to spring
to the top of the best-seller list within weeks
of their release and plant themselves
tenaciously, like one of King's own clutching
fiends.
John Keenan
King's latest novel, Christine (published In
hardcover by Viking press at $16.95 a
copy), has In Its turn, stuck its claws Into the
New York Times bestseller list, and Is currently at number eight. Although the premise
of the novel (which concerns a car controlled
by a malevolent spirit) Is enough to balk even
the most loyal ol fans ("Ah, c'mon, Steve, a
haunted carl"), the novel emerges from this
handicap triumphantly, largely as a result of
King crafting some of the most appealing
characters he's vet produced.
The nucleus of the story Is Christine, an
Autumn Red, 1958 Plymouth Fury whose
odometer runs backward. The Fury, whose
radio only seems to play songs like "TeenAngel" or "Runaround Sue," Is a far cry
from either the Overlook Hotel or the
Marsten House, but It has It's memories —
and ghosts — as well. Arnold Cunningham,
a hapless teen-ager known to his schoolmates as "Ole Pizza-Face," discovers
.Christine In a state of wretched disrepair one
afternoon and, falling In love, promptly buys
her. His friend Dennis, who doesn't like Arnle's new love at all, Is the only one who
seems to notice a strange smell that seems to
be coming from somewhere under
Christine's flooroard.

Enter the third corner of this boy-glrl-car
love triangle, and the story begins to compell. Leigh Cabot, "the prettiest girl in
school," is as about as enthusiastic about Arnle's "other girlfriend" as Dennis; the car
makes both of them uneasy.
The events that comprise the major portion of the work shouldn't suprlse any reader
already familiar with King's novels; Christine
begins looking newer and newer, "ole pizzaface's" complexion starts looking better,
Leigh begins to get worried, and people start
to die.
In Christine, King's fondness for working
with young characters (as he did in Carrie
and The Shining) and his skill with them,
become evident. Although the three major
characters — the acne-cursed,sensitive, Intelligent wimp, his football playing best buddy, and "the prettiest girl In the school,"
whom they both love — seem to have stepped directly out of the pages of some
unmemorable juvenile romance, his skill In
handling and creating these characters Is
what lifts Christine above mediocrity. The
book is an absolute triumph of characterization. The reader finds himself feeling for the
downtrodden Arnle, a type, as King points
out, recognizable on nearly every high
school campus. The real tragedy of Christine
Is that Arnle's eventual emergence from Insecure adolescence to manhood is so brief,
quickly overshadowed by his growing obsession with the Fury.
The violence In Christine Is gory.
Although King uses all the finesse he can
muster when portraying the killings, a car
lhat runs over people Is hard to play down.
Although he mixes his gore with truly professional horror writing and a great deal of
suspense, I found myself thinking of earlier
works, such as The Shining, where the brutal
bloodiness of the climactic scene had all the
more Impact because It was one of the only
pplnts In the work where actual, physical
violence was used to produce the horror.
Also, of course, when writing about a car
that kills people, the first thing to avoid is the
temptation to have the car come crashing Into someone's house to do away with them.
King, unfortunatley, succumbs, and the Image of an enraged Plymouth Fury rampaging
through a llvlngroom Is one of the most
ridiculous scenes in the book. This Is,
however, the only lapse In an otherwise very
skillful piece of storytelling.
Christine cannot be called one of King's
best efforts, for his best works are much better. Nonetheless, while it may fall short of
some of his preceding works, It Is still a cut or
three above Carrie and Flrettarter, not to
mention Floating Dragon, or The God Project, the two most current offerings' from
King's chief competitors, Peter Straub and
John Saul.
In overcoming the initial handicap of It*
subject matter, and most especially In Its truly
interesting protaganlsls, Christine Is an enjoyable book, and an admirable effort.

was said to be Ihe definitive Jim Morrison
and The Doors bl-.graphy. At the time,
everyone was playing The Doors, even formal radio stations, and everyone was
wondering why. Even Ihose who were doing

what had motivated litem; everyone wanted
to be Ihe (Irsl lo say lhat their own lasles had
launched Ihe rebirth,
Ben Gordon
No One Gets Out o/ Here Allue became
:he bible of Ihe new Doors fan crusade, and
Jim Morrison became Its deity, for as It has
been said, dead heroes are the best heroes.
Danny Sugarman, the author of Ihe book,
helped propogate the kind of hysteria that
doomed Ihc craze, with his mystical
philosophizing about Ihe present location of
Jim Morrison. The generally sensallonallst
approach of the book discredited Sugarman
as a serious observer of not only The Doors,
but of the Doors era as well. And because he
was Morrison's favorite groupie side-kick, It
seemed a shame lhat what must have been
Innumerable personal observations of the
band's leader were to be lost in a cloud of
drooling, slavish worship. Sugarman's
presentation was exactly the sort of thing that
sabotages sincere and Informed observations
aboul rock and roll.
With the arrival of The Doors: The Illustrated History, Sugarman's second book
about the band, It seemed at first that Sugarman was out to milk his association with Ihe
band for all'lt was worth. Here, however, he
has redeemed himself and saved this book
by keeping, his opinions to himself and simply telling It like It Is.
In return for being allowed to hang around
with the band, Sugarman was given various
menial tasks to perform. Perhaps the most
Important of these was the collecting and
assembling of Doors-related press clippings.
These clippings and a surfeit of photographs
form the Illustrated History.
The real interest of the book, however, lies
In Its curiosity as a period piece, both for the
reader who was there when It all happened,
as well as for the neophyte wondering what It
was all about. Strong Images can be found
throughout the book, Images that recapture
Ihe meaning of Ihe mood of the sixties with
Jarring Impact. In many of Ihe pholographs,
members of the band are wearing clothing
that makes today's outrageous styles seem
almost ordinary. Photos and accounts of
I crew-cut policemen arresting Morrison for
charges such as "Public Lewdness" are
strangely shocking now. Viewing them Is
refreshing, serving to remind us that the
under twenty-one population did accomplish things during Ihe Sixties. There Is a
common tendency today to dismiss the Sixties as a naive lest, a (ailed experiment, and
'this lack of appreciation for all lhat was happening at Ihe lime results In numerous
misconceptions aboul what rock music and
culture loday Is altempling to do.
| Fortunately, for Ihose of us who appreciate Jim Morrison, the book has
moments that demonstrate his Intelligence,
an Intelligence lhat was frequently obscured
by his self-abuse and sell-Indulgent pro
nouncements. Morrison had a Masters from
UCLA, and Ihe weaknesses In his work are
more easily attributable lo his being caught
up In the mood of the lime than to any deficiency in Intelligence or talent. Had he survived the pressures and abuses ol the era, a
more mature Morrison probably would have
risen as one of the elder statesmen of rock
and roll.
Like most "Illustrated histories," the expense Involved In production results in a
cover price that Is discouraging to all but the
most devoted fans, Only a fanatic or a fool
would shall out fifteen bucks for this ona;
better to pull It off someone else's shelf lor a
quick browse on a rainy day.

by David L.L. Loskinj
W» ; 'I love you."
I Three simple words which, when proclaimed, mumbled,
I chanted, whispered, bellowed, scrawled, carved, painted,
I sculpted, broadcasted or stamped on aluminum and shot out into
deep space, in their proper sequence, form the most complex, incomprehensible and — on occassion — profound sentiment In
human relations. It has been glorified and romanticized ad infinitum, and at times elevated above God, country and morality.
After millenia of oversimplification, oversentlmentalization and
oversensuallzation, romantic love ran Into a brick wall with existentialism.
Existentialism is fundamentally two things: a philosophy of existence (existentialism), or a so-called movement of the 18th and
19th centuries (Existentialism), which many claim to, but few truly
understand. A philosophy of existence implies that men and
women must deal with reality — their perceptions, hermeneutics
and actions — in a very spontaneous, sensitive, and creative manner. It is taboo to turn our perceptions of the world around us and
our own lives into stagnant, contrived objects, and to depend upon
preconceived notions of human nature and action In creating our
ethics. It is simply the chaotic continuum of existential reality which
is the raw material from which we participate in the ongoing process of being,, and creating ourselves.
Based on this tip-of-the-lceberg explanation, one can derive a
rough sketch of the notion of existential love. A good focal point is
the idea of objectivity. Lovers cannot allow themselves to treat
each other as objects, basing and running the relationship on
preconceived notions of love, romance, and their own personalities. They must respect each other's Individual freedom and
creative potentials. The relationship, like the individuals, is a
dynamic process, requiring the same sensitivity to existential conditions (such as the changing emotions of the partners) and spontaneous creative power. A romantic love Is one which Is mired In a
stagmant prison of objectivity, delusion and human weakness, and
divorced from the freedom, spiritual strength and dynamic participation In the mystery of being which marks an existential love.
Two of the most romantic love scenes known to
mankind are the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet
and the airport scene which climaxes the film
Casablanca. Imagine what would have become of
these two scenes had Rick Blaine and Romeo been
cast not as classic romantics, but as great existential
lovers.

It seems that Elvis Is very pleased with the
popular single, "Every Day I Write the
Book," because I've never seen him smile
while singing any other song. He might be
smiling even more If this breaks as the first
big hit by Elvis Costello and the Attractions.
It's presently In the Top 50. It's also their first
song made Into a video since MTV and, get
this, a 12 Inch extended dance remix has
been released, although I haven't seen It or
heard It yet. I happen to think that the next
song on the LP, "The Greatest Thing," Is a
more danceable cut.,
Elvis Costello has a well deserved reputation for his meaningful and often biting lyrics,
and though he seems to get more romantic
and less mean with each record, a sharp
edge still cuts through his work. The happy
chorus of "Love Went Mad" fits In well with
the fun romantic side, but the verse with It's
spooky sound and tough lyrics Is quite a contrast. The line "1 wish you luck with a capital
F" sets the tone. Another spooky sounding
song Is "Pills and Soap." Elvis had some
trouble with his UK record label, F-beal
Records, and released "Pills and Soap" In
the UK, before Punch The Clock came out,
under the name The Imposter (the name of a
song from Get Happy), rather than as Elvis
Costello and the Attractions. It wasn't supposed to, and didn't fool anyone. The
reason Elvis released It when he did was to
coincide with the British elections last spring,
because the song does have a potent
message.
The most meaningful song on the LP is
the ballad, "Shipbuilding," Inspired by the
Falklands war, and co-penned with Cllve
Langer, who along with Alan Wlstanley produced Punch the Clock. Langer and

Three years later Elvis has yet to write a
bad song. His latest release. Punch the
Clock, Is wonderful. While the music seems
to flow logically from the last album, Imperial
Bedroom, it also explores new souncU,
featuring Ihe T K O horn section, and female
background vocalists called Afrodlzlak (you
know, like green M&M's). Elvis has never
had any background vocals besides himself,
and these women are a great new touch.
While Elvis has never had a horn section, his
new album relies heavily on T K O — formerly Dexy's Mldnite Runners.
interestingly, Elvis' old material also
generally goes great with the horns. In concert this summer, the horn section played for
about two-thirds of the show and was a
superb addition. Imagine the riff of "Pump It
Up" done with horns, or any of the soulful
Gel Happy songs perked up by a hom section. The results were great.
The first song on Punch the Clock, "Let
Them All Talk," Is a perfect demonstration of
the powerful new h o m sound as well as the
female background vocalists. Elvis probably
recognized this, as he not only opened the
album but also his concerts, with this tune.
The thing I'found puzzling about the live
shows was that he didn't Include Afrodlzlak.
In his past shows, the vocals were always a
little peculiar, because certain things that
Elvis could do In the studio on vocals were

As a former resident advisor, my main concern has
always been the safety and well being of all residents. The
key to this, it would seem, is to have a properly working fire
alarm system.
It seems to me that bureaucratic obstacles and the lack of
initiative by the Residential Life Office is impeding the
•csolution of this potentially lire threatening problem. 1
nave seen two fires on State Quad and know that each and

Unfair selection
Tn the Editor:
People arc always saying that off-campus students arc
apathetic regarding campaign issues. As off-campus
students, we each applied for the position of O.C.A. Coordinator. Much to our regret, neither of us was appointed to
tliis position. An on-campus student received the position
of O.C.A. Coordinator, that left the two of us very befuddled and perturbed,
There are a number of issues which arose from this appoiiiimcnt, the first being how this opening was advertised.
There was an ad placed In lust Friday's ASP, which came
out at 5 p.m., a time when a loi of students were home for
the holiday weekend. The ad slated that all applications
wore due in by 12 p.m. Monday, The luck of substantial
imc to lurn in applications definitely hampered the amount
if people who might have applied for this position.
At the interview, most of the questions were fair mid
nisi; however, there was one question which we were each
isked regarding the members of the Albany City Council.
We realize that it is important for the O.C.A. Coordinator to work with the council, but being that we were
never in the position to work with these people, it is unfair
for us to be expected lo know who they are.
It bothers us that the same people continue to be appointed to positions, while others of us who try to get involved arc not able to break through the barriers.
We truly hope that a person living on campus can be sensitive to the needs of us students living off campus.
We believe, at this lime, it is very important for offcampus students to unite and work together as a team lo
have our voices heard.

reference to is campus toilet paper. The material used is
cardboard-like, rough, flimsy, and on numerous occasions

is admirable but this is getting carried away. Why should
soft decent toilet paper be a novelty? Is that pleasure too
much to ask for?
If the administration thinks that it is a matter of
economics than I have a solution. Charge an extra fee to
our bill (about five dollars) and give the people what they
want. I don't think many people would complain about an

extra few dollars for this necessity. It's time that something
should be done. This extra pain that we must endure (from
the pscudo toilet paper) is ludicrous and in violation of
Mother Nature and our natural bodily functions. Now that
I have brought il out into the open we should ban together
and get some action. We shouldn't close our eyes and cars
to this matter and keep on suffering.
—Peter S. Herzog
Non-apathy
To Ihe Editor:
Apathy...That sounds wrong, let me start again. Nonipathyl There now, that's much better. As we launch into a
mind new academic year, many students are confronted
with such a variety of activities to choose from that they
can't decide where to get involved. However, other
students simply don't pay attention to the multiplicity of
ivents and groups that surround then, and that's too bad.
Throughout the years, many observers of university life
have come to the conclusion that students arc apathetic. I
leg lo differ. It may be true that students often don't in
/olvc themselves in politics and policy formation, but that
s not the only realm of student involvement. At SUNYA
here is a wealth of student run organizations, few of which
arc lacking active members. Participating in a campus
group Hikes time and energy, serves as a social mixer, and
contributes to a well rounded education. So when you heat
someone talk uboui student apathy, thell them they're
harking up the wrong tree. Il has been my experience over
Ihe past couple of years lluii students are more involved and
dedicated to tlie various groups thai interest them than
most people living in the "real" world. Of course, there are
exceptions, and as I said before, Hull's loo bad (for llicin
that is). So gel involved and help show the world the reality
of student "non-apathy".

WCDD News Director
Welcome back
To Ihe Editor:
I would first like lo welcome everyone back after a long,
and hopefully enjoyable summer. For the uppcrclassmen I
can dispense with words of saturated elegance and try not
to beautify any of your expectations with Illusions of
grandeur, beccause it is generally assumed that by now
"you know the deal."
For the freshmen and incoming transfer students I would
like to wish you well in your future endeavors and try not to
besway you in a direction filled of ironical criticism or one
if marvelous content, but to ask you to be intentive and
determined.
SUNYA is a University, like any other, filled with Its problems financially and politically and like our minds, is at
our disposal to make use of. From myself and the united
body of the Albany State University Black Alliance I can
say that we wish everyone a very prosperous and proud
school year.
-Marcus Griffith
Poor scheduling
To the Editor:
On Friday September 23, 1983 the Student Association
will be holding the annual group fair. This date coincides
with the second day of the Jewish festival of Sukkot on
which, according to Jewish tradition, no work may be performed. This presents a number of problems to the RZA
and any other Jewish group, as well as to leaders of othei
groups who may be Jewish and wish to honor their traditions. The RZA will be unable to play music, sell food and
other items, use the telephone, write, or collect membership
dues. It is little wonder why this unfortunate scheduling error has created such a furor and protest both within the
RZA and throughout the campus Jewish Community.
The RZA, which pledges itself to inform the campus and
local communities on matters affecting the Jewish people,
continues to be at the disposal of the SA's programming office. We hope that through cooperation such unfortunate
and avoidable instances can be prevented in the future.
—Steve Hllsenrath

needed to balnnce the budget was

deficit "is attributable to student
groups not making income lines or
uverspending their appropriation.*'
The remaining $55,195 deficit was
ipent on typewriters, a compugruphic, two new vans, and Dip
p t kill development and improvements. Barsky added that SA

The two sides first meet in Bogota
on Aug. 28.
Francisco Quinoncz, head of the
three-man commission, was
unavailable Thursday for comment
on the meeting in El Salvador, people who answered the telephone at
his office said.
Salvadoran officials repeatedly
have said talks only can serve to bring the left into elections, and they
reject rebel demands that a coalition government be formed first.
Two other developments concerning Central America:
In Washington, The House Appropriations Committee approved
54.'8 million in military aid for
ElSalvador in fiscal 1984, compared
to 86.3 million sought by President
Ronald Reagan, Congress has approved 81.3 million in aid for the
Salvadoran government this year.
And the Senate Intelligence Committee Thursday night agreed to
release the 19 million Reagan requested for covert aid to anti-leftist
Nicaragan rebels, but said the administration must ask before spending more on the CIA program.
The decision conflicts with u House
vote July 28 to cut off all aid to an
.•stimated 7,000 Honduran-bascd
ebeld fighting under the
Micaraguan Democratic Force. D
Faculty fed up
Stevens Point, Wisconsin
(CPS) "We had nothing left to
lose," remarks University of
Wisconsin-Stevens Point faculty
member Pete Kclley, regurding a
controversial ad which he and 31
fellow instructors recently ran in the
Wall Street Journal.
After "trying all summer to gel
people's attention" for a new
system-wide salary freeze, Kclley
and his colleagues decided to make
their anger public. They chipped in
$150 for the Aug. 3hi ud ill the
nationally-circulated business daily.
The two-sentence ad, which ran
in the "Situations Wanted" section
of the Journal's classifieds, was
headlined "Professors," and rend:
'Many professors in nil academic
disciplines are available for an
honest wage at universities with
lommltment lo quality higher
•duration. Contact department
.•hnirs at University of Wisconsin
campuses."
University administrators,
needless to say, "were not pleased
with the a d , " says Steve
Schumacher, spokesman for the 13
camus Wisconsin system. And the
Executive Faculty Committee at the
main Madison campus chastised the
Stevens Point instructors for claiming to speak for the faculty
members on all campuses.
"Our own view is thai the advertisement is inappropriate and selfdefeating," the committee said in a
Idler lo the Board of Regents. "We
do not believe most fuculiy
members arc prepared lo write off
the future of their university ns
readily as the ad implies."
But Kclley, who is also president
.if the Stevens Point chapter of The
Association of University of
Wisconsin Faculty, says he and
many other instructors were serious
about looking elsewhere for
employment.
"We have hundreds and hundreds
of angry faculty members in this

Last year when the Albany Slate
women's volleyball team opened its
season, Patrick Dwyer, the team's
coach, had one goal: to finish in the
top four in the EIAW tournament.
The team responded with a brilliant
35-6 regular season record and
barely missed winning the N.Y.
State Championship, where they
finished second. They participated
in the NCAA tournament for the
first time and accomplished
Dwyer's preseason goal by finishing

New-look netmen split opening two matches
By Marc Berman
STAFF WRITER
A new era in Albany State men's tennis has
begun.
It was launched earlier this week, as the
Danes split their first two meets of the 1983
fall season, losing to West Point 7-2, before
walloping Oneonta 8-0.
Gone from the old era, which produced
four SUNYAC Championships, arc four
graduated starters who were all instrumental
in the team's dominance over the other
SUNY schools. Captain Fred Oabcr, Barry
Lcvine, David Lerner and Lawrence Eichcn
have all graduated. All four set numerous
records in their four year slays.
But jus. as importantly, (he Danes will be
wilhout the strong leadership of 14-year
veteran coach Bob Lewis for the fall season.
Lewis (old the club two days before praclice .ha. he would be unable to serve as coach
in (he fall due to a back injury. He was
opcra.ed on last Tuesday and is resting at
Memorial Hospilal.
In a hasty decision, Jim Scrbalik,' las.
year's interim women's tennis coach, was
nibbed as this fall's men's inlcrim coach.
Scrbalik, who was offered the job Ihc firs,
day of practice, is coping will, .he bizarre
situation well.
"They were in a light bind and ihcy needed
someone immediately," Scrbalik said. "I enjoy coaching and 1 feci I have the experience
from Inst year lo do a decent job."
Lewis, despite his condition, has been u
grea. help lo [he new coach, lessening what
would have been a very messy situation.
"I've spoken to Lewis on the phone many
times and he's taken care of most of the administrative responsibilities, leaving me with
just the tennis end to worry about,"Scrbalik
said.
And "worry" is just what Scrbalik might
be doing for most of the season. It appears
that the days are gone when SUNYAC
Championships came to Albany as easily as
U.S. Opens come to Jimmy Connors. The
Danes' quest for their fifth straight
SUNYAC Championship, to be held this
year at Albany on October 8, will depend on
many factors. With four of last year's
starters graduated, many question marks arc
present.
Four of the six singles spots will be occupied by returning sophomores, all of
whom played sparingly in their freshman
seasons. Can four sophomores handle the
pressure of winning another SUNYAC title?
"They have some experience from last year
and I've already seen improvement in only
ten days of practices," said the new coach.
"Our season will depend on how these
sophomores mature as the season progresses,
and how well they will adjust to the stiffcr
competition [hat they've faced in the past."
Scrbalik is pleased so far with the leadership provided by his two senior captains,
Dave Ulrich and Rob Karen, the only reluming slartcrs from last year's team.
Ulrich will move up to first singles for the
first lime in his career, while Karen will remain stationed at the number three singles
slot.
The rest of the singles lineup will consist of
the sophomores: second singles, Tom
Schmitz; fourth "singles, Dave Grossman;
fifth singles, Jay Eiscnbcrg; and sixth singles,
Mike Dormansky.
The doubles alignment will have Ulrich
paired with Grossman at first doubles,
Shmitz-Karen at the second spot, and
Eisenberg-Dormansky playing third,
The 1-1 Danes will play four more dual
meets and host three tournaments, Including
the seventh annual Great Dane Classic which
began this morning at 9 a.m. Sixteen teams
were expected.
The Danes will also host the ECAC .tour. V "\ V V V V V S \ V V * V \

Women harriers beaten
By Keith Murder
1983 is expected lo be a rebuilding year for
the Albany State women's cross-country
team. Alter a very successful campaign last
year, Ihc Danes have lost four of their lop
runners to transfer and graduation. Also, the
leant will temporarily be without the services
of Donna Bumham, a very gifted runner,
who suffered an injury in Ihc team's first
meet and will not start running again for al
least a week. Returning from last year's
powerhouse squad are captains Betty Dzamba and Karen Kurthy, in addition.lo two-time
letter winners Erma George and Kim Patch.
Also returning is Carla Dochanty, who is
now recovering from a slight case of
mononucleosis.
The new faces which round out this inexperienced group are transfer Carolyn Collins
from Cazenovia Community College, and
ircshmen Maura Mahon, Kitty Sullivan,
Evcttc Runcie, Cris Varley, Anne Fergusen
and Anita Heath. These girls all have enormous potential but must get some more experience to help this team regain its status of
last year.
Albany has already had one scrimmage
and two meets. Their first competition was a
scrimmage against Cobleskill on September
12 in which the Great Danes were defeated
26-29. Albany was led by Kurthy, who
covered the 3.1 mile distance in 19:49. Their
first official meet was a four team meet
against three tough New England teams,
Middlcbury College, Bales College and
Williams College. Albany was again led by
Kurthy, who came in fourth place, as the
Danes lost lo Williams by one point. But the
loss seemed secondary to the loss of Burnliiini, one of Albany's top runners, who was
injured in this meet. The scoring of the meet'
was Middlcbury 25, Bates 45, Williams 83,
and Albany 84. Coach Ron White said afterwards, "We could have beaten Williams with
a little bcter team effort. During the last mile
they put some pressure on our athletes and
they didn't respond too well."
On September 20 the team had their second official meet where they were invited to
Hamilton College along with R.P.I. The
Danes, who came in third, were again led by
Kurthy, who ran the 3.3 mile course in 20:41
in blistering 88 degree heat, which was a
superb time as it currently ranks number 22
on the all time list al Hamilton.
This slow start has not alarmed coach
While, who says, "I would rather have my
team peak at the end of the season rather
than being inconsistent or sliding at the end.
This Is a team with a lot ofpotential with a lot
of room for improvement, and they have a
chance to go from nothing to something."
Albany's next meet is Saturday at home
against Binghamton beginning at 2:00 p.m. •

Harriers hit tough competition in full stride
nament from September 30-Octobcr I, and
finally, the most prestigious tournament — at
least In the Danes' ey'to — will be the
SUNYAC Championship held here on October 8.
The Danes would love to win their fifth
straight SUNYAC title, but It won't JJC as
easy as previous years. Binghamton appears
to be the team that the Danes must overcome
if they want to reach their goal.

Scrbalik. "From what I've seen and heard,

of new kids. It was our depth that put us past
Scton Hall."
Wednesday the Dane harriers beat the
Pirates of Seton Hall by a score of 25-35 on a
very soggy 4.75-mlle course at Garret Mountain State Park in New Jersey. Wet conditions prevailed throughout the race and slowed the runners' times somewhat. Erwin noted
that, "The guys were psyched, so we didn't
let the weather bother us; we wanted to win,"
Scton Hall took the first two places, but
the Danes ran in two packs and took the next
five positions to lake the meet. Erwin took
over for Albany about mid-race to lead the
first Dane pack across the line. Erwin finished in 26:16 followed by Met iill in 26:24 and
Callaci in 26:34. "They had two guys on
scholarship out in front of me and I just
couldn't catch Ihcm,"explained Erwin.
Freshman Mike Haus ran well leading the
second Dane pack with his sixth place finish
overall. Sophomore Chuck Bronner and
freshman Todd James bounced back from
bad performances Friday to finish seventh
and eighth respectively on Wednesday.
Sophomore Greg Blount rounded out the
pack as Albany's seventh man in his varsity
debut.
The Danes' record now stands at 2-2
against their early season Division I and II
competition. "It's really tough to run against
scholarship runners, but it makes you tough
mentally," Uronner explained,"and it's great
when you can beat those guys." Inspired running has served the Danes well so far.
"We're n very young team and there's an cxhubcrance among the guys you can feel,"
said Callaci."Enthusiasm can make the difference sometimes."
Two meets into the season, the Albany
State men's cross-country team has
demonstrated surprising strength and depth.
A young, untested Albany team travelled to
West Point last Friday where they lost to
Division I powerhouses Army and Syracuse,
but came out on top in a duel with Division II
East Stroudsburg State. The Danes continued their winning ways last Wednesday
with a big victory over Division I Scton Hall.
Friday's individual winner was Syracuse's
Jim O'Conncll, who covered the five-mile
Army course in a near record 24:34. Syracuse
oulscorcd Albany 15-48 as well as beating Army and East Stroudsburg, The race was a
very fast one with Syracuse and Army battling up front and the Albany-East
Stroudsburg duel going on behind.
"This is the first lime in our duel mccl
history with East Stroudsburg that we've
beaten them; they're always a strong team,
but we've gotten strong too. I'm very pleased
with this team," Head Coach Bob Munscy
commented.
The Danes oulscorcd East
Slroudsburg 25-31.
The East Stroudsburg runners went out
fast and Albany juniors Ed Met ill Jim Erwin, and Chris Callaci went with Ihcm. The
Danes second pack of runners hung farlhcr
back and moved up slowly. In the third mile,
Erwin passed East Stroudburg's third man
and narrowed the opposition's win margin.
Lutcr, sophomore Craig Pnrlalo, Albany's
fourth runner, passed East Stroudsburg's
fifth man and lied the score. Soon after,
junior Tom Kacandcs passed the same man,
locking up Ihc win.
Met iill finished first for the Danes taking
One factor in Ihc Danes' future success will
22nd place overall in 27:04 with Erwin right
be the return of sophomore Ian Clements,
behind him crossing the line in 27:06. Callaci who ran in ihc number one spot for Albany
finished 25th overall in 27:19, with Parlato last year, but sat out the last two meets
and Kacandcs in pursuit finishing in 27:31 treating what might be tendonitis in his
and 27:48 respectively. Said Callaci,"Our knees. With Clements up front, the Danes
first five guys finished close together with a could have a big year. Said Munscy, "There's
spread of only 44 seconds between us. If you no doubt that Ian would make a big concan run in a pack like we did, then it's hard tribution to our attack, but I'm very encouraged that we've been winning without a

Friday's victory was a very important in- big gun like Clements; that's depth."

Women's soccer team upended by Ithaca, 3-0
By Murk Wilgurcl
STAFF WRITER
Tuesday was just one of those days when
nothing would go right for the Albany Slate
women's soccer team. The team van broke
down on their way to the match in Ithaca.
They arrived there only ten minutes before
game lime. Co-caplain Dee Marfe hurt her
ankle and missed most of the game. And
Albany was demoralized by the home team,
3-0.
"It was a bad all-around day," noted
frustrated head coach Amy Kidder.
The game was delayed 40 minutes to allow
Albany warm-ups. Once they got started, Ihc
Great Danes put tremendous pressure on
llliaca, who was finding it difficult to get Ihc
ball oul of its own end. "During the first 15
minutes, I thought lo myself, 'we're going to
kill these guys'' " Kidder said. But then
Marfc went down wilh her injury and the
Danes fell apart. "Everyone slopped running. We sat back and played defense, and
never pushed the ball forward. We totally
slopped playing soccer," explained Kidder.
She did point out a couple of fine performances, though. "Sue Slagel did a great job
, * " striker, and Karen Smith (stopper back)
jlwas one of the few players running."
Albany only trailed 1-0 at the half, but be-
ing outshot 22-4 for the match is an indication of how hard it was for them to generate
any offense. Kidder said, "We never tested
their goaltcndcr and never got off a decent
shot."
This game was a complete turnaround
from last Thursday's 2-1 viclory over Skidmore. In Mi.u match, the Danes had a great
advantage in shots on goal (44-17), and that
helped them come up with a win. Marfe
tallied firsl al 31:00 of the opening half. Early in the second half, Skidmorc tied it up on a
goal off an Albany defender. "Thai put us a
little bit in the hole," Kidder said. We had
been realty dominating up (o dial point."
This scl the slage for the game winner, which
Kim Kosalek scored at 4:56 of the second
overtime. Kidder praised Marfe, Lisa Lum
and Dana Stain for their fine play. "They
were the work horses of ihe learn. They each
did a tremendous job."
The upcoming picture looks very challenging for Ihe 2-2 Danes. Tomorrow, Colgate
will visil Albany lo provide ihe lough competition. Then Siena conies lo town before a
big match ncxl Saturday at Corlland, whom
Kidder labeled as "awesome. Hopefully we'll
pick up a few games before thai match, and
feel a lot belter. We'll just have to sift
through the excuses and make things work
for us," she added.

Roth's ineffectiveness, but the need for Jacobs did not play. The junior is the only
change. "I do not .think you can point the returning starter on the line from last year's
finger at Tom Roth. He threw fairly well and team and its only member with varsity exran fairly well, but sometimes you need a perience prior to this season. He is expected
change. The bottom line for this coach is we to play tomorrow. However, Scth Denberg,
who started both games this season at center,
are 0-2," he added.
Tomorrow's contest between the Albany
State Great Danes and the Brockport State
Golden Eagles finds both teams looking for
their first win of the season.
With the two offenses combined having
scored only 19 total points in four games, and
the Danes still looking to put the ball in the
end zone for the first time this year, both
teams will have new field generals when they
play on University Field. Sophomore Mike
Milano will be making his first start at
quarterback for Albany and freshman Bill
Murphy will be setting foot on the field for
the first time when he takes his first snap
from center for Brockport.
Last Friday night, the Danes dropped their
second game of the season to the Hofstra
University Flying Dutchmen, 20-3. It was a
7-3 ballgamc with 1:42 left in the game when
Dutchmen fullback Bob McKcnnn raced 78
yards for a touchdown. On Albany's first
play from scrimmage following the ensuing
kick-off, John Dunham fumbled and the
Dutchmen converted the opportunity into
seven points as Emil Wohlgemuth caught an
eight-yard toss from Rich Codclla to provide
Hofstra with its final margin of victory.
In two games this season, Albany's
wishbone attack has yet to go over 100 yards
rushing in u game, and most importantly has
not scored a touchdown.
"This is an extremely pivotal week for us.
We have to establish an offense and get our
confidence back," Albany head coach Bob
Ford said. "We have to get on the winning
track."
In Brockport, the Danes arc facing a team
in a similar predicament. Rookie head coach
Keith Moody is hoping to shake up his team
by starling Murphy at quarterback. The
Eagles' former starting quarterback, Gordon
Bukaty, threw six interceptions in an opening
day loss to Mansfield State, 31-7. Offensively, the Eagles will be led by running back Ron

The defense, which limited Hofstra to 210

and lead the series, nine wins to one. ECAC

Brockport will throw a pro-type offense
against the Danes and a 3-4 defense to try to
stop the Albany attack. Moody is a former
member of the Buffalo Bills and played for
the Washington Federals of the U.S.F.L. this
past year. The Danes will have to be prepared
to stop the passing game, according to
Albany secondary coach Jim Gush, who
scouted the Eagles. "They have good speed
and will try and get the ball to their big play
man, split end Steve Grote," he said.
After giving up 31 points to Mansfield
State in the first game of the season, the
Eagle defense limited Buffalo State to only 13
points In a 13-9 defeat last week. "They are
playing a lot of guys on defense. They have
been splitting time between 16 guys and three
at strong safely," Gush said.
For the Danes to have success against the
Eagles and for the rest of the season, they
must improve on first down situations. "We
have been forced into too many second down
and long situations. This causes us to throw
on second and third down and wc arc unable
to establish our running attack, which is the
key to the offense," Ford said.
The game will be broadcast live on WCDB,
91FM beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Voting district change prompts new SA suit
by Jim O'Sullivnn
Student Association initiated a lawsuit
against the City of Albany Monday, in an attempt to overturn a city ordinance and to
have polling places established on campus,
according to Mark Mishler, SA attorney.
The issue centers on a complicated
'redistrlctlng plan in which a new voting
district has been formed and an old district
has been divided in order to accommodate
population chunges.
" SA "objects to the plan because it is seen
as an attempt to continue a long-running program by Albany City Mayor Thomas Whalcn
of discrimination against SUNYA students,"
according to SA President Rich Schaffcr.
When reached by telephone Monday night,
Muyor Whalcn said he had "no comment at
this lime" on the issue.
The suit, which is schedualed to be heard
at Stale Supreme Court on Sept. 29, is based
primarily on the contention thai the Albany
City Council did not have the authority or
jurisdiction to alter election districts after
Jan. 6, 1983 on the basis of Stale Election
Law. After Jan. 6, according to the law, the
authority to create new election districts is
given only to the Albany County Board of
Elections, not the Common Council.
"It is clear that the city acted without
jurisdiction and authority in dividing the
district in August," Mishler said.
The suit also attempts to show that the
districts are as "compact" as required by
law, and further that the districts are the
result of gerrymandering in order to
discriminate against SUNYA students.
The district changes involve splitting the
old 3rd district of Ward 15, which had included half of Dutch Quad and all of Colonial, into only that half of Dutch and surrounding areas of the community. The new
6th district is comprised of all of Colonial
Quad and approximately 14 families on Rapp
Road, the only other residents in the district.
The polling places for both districts are offcampus, located at St. Margaret Mary's
School on Western Avenue for the 3rd
district; and at the Thruway House on
Washington Avenue for the 6th district.
The suit documents a history of the city's
attempts to discourage SUNYA students
from voting.
The suit also makes references towards two
previous SA suits which bear on the this case.
The first is a 1980 suit which resulted in a

Solomon Amendment delays aid processing
By Eric Hindln

Midfielder Jeff Hackett had a goal and an assist In helping the men's soccer^
team shut out Manhattanville and Plattsburgh.
More than 1,500 SUNYA students who have not filled
out a mandatory selective service registration compliance
form in accordance with the Solomon Amendment are in
jcapordy of losing federal financial aid, according to
SUNYA Financial Aid Director Donald Whitlock.
Checks for aid such as Pell Grants, Guaranteed Student
Loans, National Direct Student Loans and others, due to
be mailed September 26 by the Office of Student Accounts, will not be sent to students who have not complied with the amendment. The new law, named after its
sponsor, Congressman Gerald Solomon, R-Glens Falls,
was passed by Congress last summer. It has since been
signed by the president and requires all students receiving
federal aid to complete a form stating that they have
registered for the draft or arc exempt.
According to Whitlock, out of 5,300 forms sent out by
SUNYA's Financial Aid office, only 1,600 were sent to
students eligible for selective service registration. Federal
regulations require ail students regardless of sex or age to
complete a form in compliance with the amendment.
Whitlock said the 3,700 forms handled needlessly have
left the Office of Financial Aid with a larger backlog now
than they've had for the past two years. Guaranteed Student Loans and Pell Grants, the two most popular forms
of federal aid, arc affected the most.
Whitlock, irate, described the issue as harassment by
the Reagan administration, in an attempt to cut back on
Federal financial aid to lower and middle income
students, although he was denied many of his proposed
cuts by Congress.
Said Whitlock, "The proccdureseems so illogical that
some members of the1' financial aid profession are commencing to feel that some form of administrative harass-

mem is being brought to bear upon them."
When informed that work-study students who have not
complied with the amendment would not only be taken
off the payroll but be required to repay any money earned
while on the program since July 1 of this year, Student
Association President Rich Schaffer culled the situation
"absurd." He added, "If existing efforts for the repeal of
he amendment were not successful, the SA would take
iction."
Schaffcr stated that this past summer he sent a letter to
University President Vincent O'Lcary on behalf of SA expressing his concern with the bill and asking O'Lcary to
press for its repeal.SA has continued along these lines,
Schaffer said, trying to make both students and faculty
realize the implications of the amendment. Beyond that,
Schaffer sees massive lobbying by students directed
primarily at local Congressman Samuel Stratton,
D-Schenccludy, and Solomon. A delay in the date the
amendment was to take effect and modifications in the
amendment itself would be goals.
"Eventually," Schaffer said, "SA would join other
student-run organizations, most notably SASU, in
challenging the amendment in court."
Both Schaffcr and Whitlock echoed each other's antiReagan sentiments concerning the amendment. "This one
piece of legislation," said Schaffer, "will cut buck on
social and economic aid while strengthening the military
in the process."
The amendment's discriminatory nature was also cited
by both men. Whitlock nolea "it affects those students
