Men harriers take strong second at SUNYACs
By Tom Kacandes
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Consistent talent and some tough
running were what placed the
Albany State men's cross-country
team a very strong second in the
20th SUNY Conference Championships held last Saturday at SUNY
Buffalo. Fredonia State won the
meet with a low score of 39 points,
while the Danes took second with
an 80 point tolnl. Cortland State
finished third with 112 points,
Brockporl Stale was fourth with
I2S points, and Oswego State
finished fifth with 147 points.
It was an up and down day for
the Danes as a team, but for captain
Chris Callaci and sophomores Ian
Clements and Craig Parlato, the
meet was definitely a positive experience. All three Danes received
medals for the ninth, twelfth, and
fourteenth place finishes, respectively. The three also established
personal best times over Buffalo's
fiat and somewhat muddy five mile
course with Callaci at 26:14,
Clements at 26:21, and I'arlalo at
26:29.
The second Dane pack was about
fifteen seconds behind Parlato.
Captain Jim Erwin and junior Ed
McGill, both bothered by colds.
finished 23rd and 24th respectively.
Sophomore Chuck Bronner displaced many scoring runners from other
teams by finishing 26th overall
while recording a personal best time
for five miles of 26:57. Said Bronner, "I didn't feel like I had a great
race, really. You need every place
you can get in big races, so you
can't ever be satisfied."
Asked about the race, most of
the Albany runners 'used the word
"interesting" to describe what was,
in fact, a very strange race. This
year's SUNY Conference lacks Ihc
big name national-class runners
thai last year's had. This allowed
Albany and Fredonia to dominate
the race, placing 14 runners among
Ihc lop 26 finishers. Two Oswego
runners look first and second, yet
their team finished in a distant
fifth. None of the times were spectacular.
This year's Danes have turned
out lo be a very tough team. Saturday's race left Albany runners with
a lot of questions, though, because
of McGill and Erwin's weak performances. Said Erwin, "Wc had second wilh the team running ui
about 70' or Its potential. If
everybody had been up, it would
iiave been a very close race for
first."

The men's cross country team captured second place in the SUNYACs held at SUNY Buffalo Saturday afternoon. The Danes finished behind conference champion Fredonia State.
Head Coach Bob Munsey commented that, "Our first three guys
did a great job when the oilier guys
were down, and that's strength.
Considering that not all Ihc guys
had good races, I think that
Fredonia can be beaten."
The Danes seem lo be developing

Parlato displayed tremendous

best performance all year. In addition, Callaci has shown thai be can

"Ever since I ran SUNYACs last
year, I've wanted lo be lop-10, so il
was very satisfying lo gel ninth,"
Callaci said.
The Danes gel another shot ai

Danes lose to Cortland, 14-7as late rally fails

Albany Stale football coach Hob Ford forecasted
before Saturday's Cortland game, "If a boxer has a
great right hook, you better stop thai right hook or
yc.u'rc going lo lose." If Ihc Albany Slate football
team were in a boxing match, they would have been
sent to the canvas early.
The Danes failed to slop Cortland's right hook, and
as Coach Ford foretold, the result was a Dane loss,
dropping Ihcir record to 2-4.
Fullback Dave Cook, the second leading rusher in
the Cortland history, ran for 185 yards, including the
Red Dragons' only Iwo touchdowns — a 23 yard score
and a 79 yard romp — lo pace his learn to a 14-7 victory over the Danes in a game that was up in the air until the final minutes.
The Danes' hopes of reaching the .500 mark were
dashed when quarterback Mike Milano's fourth-andseven pass from the Cortland 20 with 1:20 left in the
contest sailed over the outstretched arms of receiver
John Donnely in Ihc endzone.

On Cook's first touchdown run, which came wilh

On a controversial play, Cook appeared to be slopped after a five yard gain up the middle but no referee
blew the whistle. Cook bounced off the pack and dashed the rcsl of the way completing a 23-yard touchdown
run and giving Cortland a 7-0 lead.
"He was slopped and we all lei up," said Eastman.
"It was a very slow whistle."
Cook didn'l feel Ihc referees blew the call: "No one

a second, spun around and got outside."
Ford, though thinking it was a slow whistle, felt is
was still no excuse: "As long as a ref hasn't blown a
whistle, it's our job to gel him down."
Even first year Cortland coach Larry Czarnccki
thought it was a slow whistle. "It probably was, but
the referee called slow whistles all game. Cook was gelting hit unnecessarily sometimes so I think il evened
itself out."
Cook's first touchdown run cupped a 65-yard drive

The Danes' only score came following an Interception by cornerback Jim Collins al the Cortland 39.

Former Chinese Studies program
director Yu-shih Chen filed suit
against SUNYA last Thursday,
claiming that she was fired for not
hiring an Instructor who is now
University President Vincent
O'Leary's wife.
According to Chen, Ihc lawsuit,
filed in Stale Supreme Court In
Albany, asks for the court to require SUNYA to reinstate her and
set up a committee lo review her for
tenure, She also asks for back pay
and benefits.
Chen claimed her appointment
was "abruptly terminated" in Ihc
spring of 1981 because she would
not grant a full-time position to
Lihua-Yu, then a part-time lecturer
in Ihc Chinese Studies program.
According lo published reporls in
the Times Union, Yu, a well-known
novelist in China, married O'Lcary
in July I982 following O'Leary's
divorce from his wife Aclcle, in May
Of 1982.
Chen claimed thai Yu's "attempt
to by-pass open recruitment" for
the available position in 1980, and
O'Leary's "personal intervention
on her (Yu's) behalf" are what
precipitated her dismissal. She said
that she has held the position of
director since coining to the university in 1978. Chen also accused
university officials of "tampering
with faculty files, fabrication of a
phony 'chronology of events' lo rationalize the tampering and selfserving presidential Investigations"
in order to "push her out of Ihc
system."
O'I.eary, who declined lo comment on the case due lo the "legal
aspects of the case" has in the past
denied that his relationship with
Lihua-Yu influenced his decision
regarding Chen's contract.
Vice-President lor University Affairs Lewis Welch said he conducted -an investigation into the
charges that the administration was
"unduly influenced by outside
sources." "I was given a list of
charges and a list of people willing
lo discuss the matter," said Welch.
"Il was my conclusion that there
was no substance or evidence lo her
(Chen's) claims," he added.
According lo Chen, Welch's
report "turned out to be Incriminating" to Yu and that "It was
promptly suppressed by President
O'Lcary." O'Lcary had denied that
he withheld any information in the
rcporl conducted on the situation.
Chen contends that, al different
limes, specific documents have been
added lo , and deleted from, her official file in tlic Personnel Office.
A specific incident occurred in
April 1981 when, according to
Chen, she discovered a letter from
O'Lcary "in which he informed me
thai my appointment would not be
renewed," after August 31, 1982.
Later when reviewing her file, Chen
claimed "the letter wasn't there but
I hat other papers had been
inserted."
Welch called the letter incident a
"clerical procedure." "When a
faculty member is up for review,"
lie said, "several reports arc placed
in a file. A letter is then drawn up
by a secretary before the President
sees the file." "If Ihc reports appear negative then a negative letter
is drawn up," he continued, "but
Ihc Idler isn'l signed by the President until he reviews the file."
Welch added the procedure is out
of use.
When asked what had happened
lo the Idler, Welch said thai the Idler "had been removed because il
was discovered thai her file was incomplete. I recommended that her
review be done again, due to these
circumstances," he said.
According lo Welch, Chen's application for extension was reviewed again, but that President
O'Lcary didn't hand down his decision right away.

Following O'Leary's decision not

The grievance policy, according
to Welch, involves a three step approach. "The first step is review on

Ihc Chancellor downtown. The
third step is review by the Governor's Office of Employee Relations" he said. According 10 Chen,
Ihc Governor's Office of Employee
Relations finally recognized the
"outrageous behavior of the administration and offered a settlement." Chen claimed that the settlement was lo keep her on the

and the Chancellor was lo appoini a

decision of the committee would be

A computer owned by a SUNY Albany student was

Grenada Minister shot
Bridgetown, Barbados
(AP) Soldiers killed Grenada Prime Minister
Maurice Bishop and three Cabinet ministers
outside army headquarters in the capital of
St. George's, and the new regime Thursday
urged citizens to "be vigilant against imperialistic attempts at counter-revolution."
It warned again they would be shot on
sight if they violate martial law.
Radio Free Grenada repeated a statement
by the army commander, Gen. Hudson
Austin, who late Wednesday said a "revolutionary and military" council had been
established to rule the Caribbean Island and
all schools and businesses would be closed
until "normality Is returned."
In the radio broadcast monitored in Barbados, he said a 24-hour curfew had been imposed until 6 p.m. Monday, that no one
would be allowed to leave their homes, and
that the armed forces were under "strict
restrictions to shoot anyone who seeks to
disturb the peace."
Airport unsafe site
Beirut, Lebanon
(AP) President Amin Gemayel is asking
Lebanon's warring leaders to meet in
Switzerland for a peace conference canceled
before it could convene Thursday morning at
Beirut's airport, official sources said Thursday.
The sources, who requested anonymity,
said the United Nations complex in Geneva
now appeared to be the most likely site acceptable to the eight leaders invited to discuss
with Gemayel a new formula for peacefully
dividing power between Moslems and Christians.
The main three opposition leaders, who
are backed by Syria, rejected the airport as
an unsafe site for the reconciliation conference that Is intended to end eight years of
civil turmoil in Lebanon.
Their rejection, announced Wednesday,
was accompanied by widespread violations of
Lebanon's 25-day-old civil war ceasefire in
s o u t h e r n B e i r u t ' s Shiltc Moslem
neighborhoods and the Druse-populated
mountains overlooking the capital. Both

Baez awarded prize
Philadelphia
(AP) Protest singer and activist Joan Baez
accepted a peace prize from the SANE
Education Fund on a day she said held
special significance.
The award has "meaning for me in that it
points to a new future for peace and nonviolent social change on the day that Congress recognized Martin Luther King's birthday as a national holiday," she said Wednesday night after accepting the organization's
peace Award before 400 people at a dinner.
Ms. Baez worked with King until his
assassination in 1968. The SANE Education
Fund said it was recognizing Ms. Bncz's efforts to "heighten public awareness about
nuclear disarmament and the importance of
non-violence in building a more. . .just
world."
Crisis measures taken
Brasilia, Brazil
(AP) President Joao Figueiredo invoked
emergency powers in the capital shortly
before a defiant Congress rejected unpopular
austerity legislation intended to help rescue
Brazil from a $90 billion foreign debt.
The emergency measures, imposed
Wednesday night and set to last for 60 days,
allow for house searches and arrests without
warrants, suspension of freedom of
assembly, and control over state-run companies.
Police patrols were placed on alert and
public gatherings were banned, but the
streets of Brasilia, a modern inland city, were
quiet early Thursday.
A presidential decree said the emergency
measures were adopted to prevent "outside
agitators" from intimidating members of the
House of Representatives during their
deliberations. The military regime said the
"agitators" had been recruited from all over
Brazil but did not identify them,
Powers Act amended
Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Senate voted Thursday to amend
the 1973 War Powers Act in an effort to provide a constitutional means for Congress to
overrule a presidential decision and order
U.S. troops brought back from hostilities
abroad In the absence of a declaration of
war.
The amendment, offered by Senate
Democratic Leader Robert C. Byrd of West
Virginia, would permit Congress to take such
action by passing a resolution that would be
subject to veto by the president. To overcome
the veto, a two-thirds majority of both
houses would be needed.
The War Powers Act, in a provision that
has never been exercised authorized Congresi
to take such action by passing a resolution
nol subject to veto by the president. In this
way, Congress could overrule the president
by a simple majority of both the House and
Senate.
The Supreme Court, in a case this year that
did not involve the War Powers Act, ruled
that such so-called legislative veto provisions
are unconstitutional.
Former D.A. guilty
Nashville, Tennessee
(AP) Former Brooklyn District Attorney
Eugene Gold, accused of molesting a

admitting his guilt and agreeing to enter a
treatment program, District Attorney
General Thomas Shrlver said.
Shrlvcr said Gold, who prosecuted the
"Son of Sam" case, signed a statement in
which he agreed to seek long-term psychiatric
care.
Oold was charged with aggravated rape
after he allegedly fondled the girl in her
parents' Nashville hotel room during a
district attorneys' convention Aug. 10. The
charge against Gold will be shelved for two
years while he undergoes psychiatric treatment, then be dropped, Shrivcr said.
King holiday passed
Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Senate voted Wednesday lo honor
Martin Luther King Jr. with a federal holiday
bearing his name — a memorial created for
only one other American in the nation's
history. The only other day honoring an Individual is Washington's Birthday.
The holiday will be celebrated on the third
Monday in January beginning in 1986. President Reagan is committed to signing the
legislation, which the House approved Aug.
2 by 338-90.
Wednesday's vote ended 15 years of efforts by supporters to create the holiday as a
memorial to King, the Baptist minister whose
fight for equality by peaceful means won him
the Nobel peace prize in 1964.
In the final hours of Senate consideration,
backers of the bill endured one last charge
from Sen. Jesse Helms, the conservative
North Carolina Republican who contended
King associated with "far left elements and

PCBs kill owl

a Department of Environmental Conservation spokesman says.
Ward Stone, a wildlife pathologist, said
the finding last week underlines the persistence of the toxic substances In Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River.
"The owl is a good monitor of the local environment. . .because It doesn't fly to Louisiana in the winter," he said.
Tests conducted at the Hale Creek Field

costs do not succeed, President Kay Whitmore says.
"When a division or a department can find
no other way to operate effectively, it may
become necessary to reduce the staff on in:

saying.
Kodak has been hit hard by Japanese competition, global recession and the strength of
the U.S. dollar, which has made its products
overpriced in foreign markets,
Of the 90,900 U.S. workers employed by
Kodak at the start of 1983, 2,700 have been

the special expertise" that both he and Koch
had been seeking.
The 13-acre mart is a major clement of the

Project, which will include four office
towers, a 500-room hotel and the renovation

racism reached Albany this week when Revisionist Zionist Alternative and the Tagar
Zionist activists rallied at SUNY Central in
protest.
The controversy, which has blown into a
statewide rift with Governor Cuomo's personal involvement, started when a visiting
Israeli professor, Sclwyn K. Trucn, charged
that Stony Brook professor Ernest Dube was
using his classroom "for the sloganeering
practiced by an anii-scmile."
Steve Hilsenrath, chairman of the RZA,
suid at the rally fhul he believes that Dube is
spreading racist views towards .lews in his leclurcs. "Anti-semilism and Jew hatred must
be removed from the classroom," he
declared. "Spreading unli-zionism so easily
on campus leads to unti-semilism, which
eventually lends to the death of all Jews," he
added.
Dube, 54, has been leaching the "Politics
of Race Relations" course for three years.
Recently, several accusations agninst Dube
have been voiced because of the anti-semltic
nature of his lectures. The syllabus, which
states, "Firth week: The three forms of
racism and how they have manifested
themselves: I) Nazism in Germany. 2) Apartheid in South Africa. 3) Zionism in Israel,"
disturbed RZA president Gady Buiumsohn,
who commented that "anyone who sees
Zionism as racist and who leaches Zionism as
racism is an anti-semltic," Dube therefore,
"is a racist" added Buiumsohn.
However, according lo a New York Times
article on October 2, an Executive Committee of Stony Brook University Senate found
the evidence skimpy, and decided that Dube
had acted within the bounds of academic
freedom.
But local Jewish groups were notified, the
Times said, and they pressed the issue with a
Cuomo aide who specializes in Jewish affairs. Within two weeks, Cuomo had issued a
statement singling out professor Dube and
condemning anyone who linked Zionism and
racism.
On Sept. 12, the full Stony Brook Senate
met and agreed with the Executive Committee by a 54-14 vole, and the administration

agreed to review all courses considered racially or ethnically sensitive,
Debi Meyer, secretary for (he RZA,
however, said she felt that Dube is being protected by the Stony Brook administration.
"He has the academic freedom to teach what
he wants" she noted. Meyer explained lhal
"spreading views that Zionism is equal 10
racism leads to anli-scmitism running rampant on campus."She noted that it has taken
years to get anit-semitism out of the
classroom, and was disturbed ut how it has
been "allowed lo return." This type of
slander, emphasized Meyer, "is a real problem."
In a telephone interview Thursday, Dube
said that Ids "course does nol equate Zionism
with racism. I merely teach facts and provide
information. My students can verily anything
I teach through additional reading material."
Dube added that he feels the entire situation
has been blown completely out of propor-
tion, as have the fads. "Most of the
demonstrators don't even know what my
course is about" explained the professor. "If
Ihey did, then they would know that 1 have
never advocated racism, (but rather) I have
shown racism in all lights. Anti-scmitism is
not anti-zionism. It is impossible to parallel
the two, because they are so different."
When asked if he was nervous about his
current position at Stony Brook, Dube
replied "Of course not." He added lhal he
has nothing to hide, and would be "willing to
sit down and speak openly 10 the openminded people who have questions." Dube
clarified his position further, explaining that,
"I am not racist, nor do I leach that zlonism
is racism. I leach about the subject of
racism." "This cannot lead to the false statement that my course is in any way antisemltic," he added.
Geoffrey Rciss, a student at Stony Brook,
attended Dube's controversial lectures, and
said lhal "It's hard to tell if Dube's ideas are
accusations or realities because he's such a
highly opinionated person."
Such confusion must be eliminated and
can only be eliminated if and when Dube is
fired from his position. Hilsenrath and other
RZA members are, therefore, "calling for his
removal. Dube must be fired," said
Hilsenrath, adding that, "a man like this is
like a cancer that will spread. We must
ciiminatc il before it goes loo far and docs
too much damage."
RZA also feels that not enough SUNY
students ure aware of the seriousness or the
matter ai Slony Brook. "Albany students are
too apathetic and thus not enough can be
done to put an end 10 anti-scmitism," said
Buiumsohn. "All students must realize that
anti-semilism is far from being dead." "They
must actively involve themselves to realize
this" he added.

Council members may challenge SA elections
By Heidi Grulln
.-I.V.VOf 7/1
i TB NEWS
HD1TOH
Central Council Internal Affairs Committee will meet Friday to determine whether or
not they will contest SA's Fall elections, held
on Oct. 17 and 18.
The Alumni Quad Cenlral Council election
lias already been contested and rescheduled
for Monday, Oct. 31 and Tuesday, Nov, 1,
Council also voted Wednesday night to
establish an off-campus coordinator's
budget, to reject the appointment of
Hamilton South as a Supreme Court justice,
and lo pass l\vo proposals regarding SA tax
policy.
The Alumni Quad Cenlral Council election
was contested by Nathaniel Charney who accused one of his opponents, Sieve Sinatra, of
violating election policy by campaigning in
the cafeteria 011 election night. Elections
Commissioner Tom Busby said, however,
lhal the only reason he has rescheduled the
election is becasue Studenl Association President Rich Schaffer brought il 10 his attention
thai the voting booth was in the wrong place.
According lo SchalTcr, Internal Affairs'
committee chair Neil Shapiro unexpectedly
proposed lo Councll.thal Elections Commissioner Tom Busby he recalled for breaking
elections policy.
SchalTcr said lhal Shapiro then tried to
"extort" from council a yes vole by threatening that his committee would contest ilic enlire Fall election if llushy was not recalled.
The mailer was tabled after at least two
members ol' council slood up and accused
Shapiro of extortion, and council decided not
to discuss the issue, nywny, because Busby
was nol there lo defend himself, according lo
Central Council Chair Bob Hclbock.
"It was Ncil's(Shaplro) bombshell and the
way It was presented was atrocious," Schuffcr asserted.
Busby violated election policy, Shapiro
said, "by failing to appoint an election commission and failing lo have il approved by
Central Council and fniling to put candidates
names on the ballot in random order."
Shapiro snid thai it was unjust to the candidates to hold elections without an approved
elections commission, and an unfairly arranged ballot. The election commission
assists the commissioner in running SA elections.
Schaffer and SA Vice President Jeffrey
Schneider said Busby look the candidates
names out of the ASP in random order.
Shapiro, however, contended that Busby
should have "picked oul of a lull" and lhal
Busby may have put the names in a specifically chosen order. The election policy does

not make it completely clear whose responsibility it is to submit tile commission
members' names 10 council.
Several SA officials, including Schaffer,
Schneider, and Hclbock, accepted some
responsibility for failing to bring the elections
commisssion 10 council for approval.
Shapiro said the error was Busby's.
Schneider explained that "We (he, Hclbock
and Schaffer) were nol aware lhat we had to
bring lhat (the elections commission) before
council." "I question why il wasn't broughl
up by Ihem (Internal Affairs) before elections," Schneider added.
Schneider said lhat he and Minority Affairs coordinator Vivian Vasqucz conducted
I he interviews for the Commission. Busby
said that when he was appointed he was given
most of the names of the 10 member election
commission, three of who were members last
year. "When Jeff Schneider approved the
members of the commission I thought that
would be sufficient," Busby maintained.
Busby, who receives a $200 stipend per election was unanimously approved by council
on Sept. 28..
1007 SUNYA students voted in the SA
elections. The new Central Council members
ar: Eric Dorf, Indian; Andy Targovnik,
Slate; Mike Sirignano, Dutch; and Marc
Goldberg, Richard A. Saladino, Steve Appelson, Linda Carson, Lauri Cole, OffCampus. The new Colonial Quad Senate
representative is Todd Benlon. Mnlarie Sicin
and Jack Simon were elected as SASU
delegates,
Off Campus coordinator Suzy Aulctla
received a $700 hudgcl during the council
mceling, by a vole of 25-5-1.
$500 of the budget will be used for projects
and $200 will be used for administrative expenses, such as copying costs.
Although only five council members voted
against granting Aulciia the budget, the issuewas holly debated.
Dutch Quad representative Jeff Wcinslcln
said lie voted no because in the recently passed Executive Reorganization Act, it states
lhat the off-campus coordinator is "responsible l o " the Off Campus board of directors,
so, he explained, there should be one budget
for both the Off Campus coordinator and the
board of directors.
"I jusl don't think that is necessary to have
two different budgets," he added.
Schaffer said lie plans to submit legislation
to Council next week that would clear up
Aulelta's job description in the Executive
Reorganization Act.
Aulctta explained, "II isn't fair for me to

New York State Attorney General Robert
Abrams opened the third Consumer
Awareness Conference Tuesday by reminding the almost 700 people in attendance that
"no matter what we do, we are all consumers."
The conference, held at the Empire State
Plaza, was made up of keynote addresses and
specific workshops and marked the opening
of "consumer awareness week," according
to Senator Joseph Bruno (D-Rensselaer
County). Abrams, the key speaker at the conference, addressed such topics as a proposed
used-car "lemon law", a home improvement
act, landlord-tenant relations and Insurance
problems for the consumer.
The most urgent on his agenda of
priorities, Abrams said, was the used-car
lemon law. "One or the achievements of the
last legislative session was passage of a lemon
law (for new cars)," he said. "With that
behind us, we must face a bigger problem; a
lemon law for used cars," he added. Abrams
cited items such as the fact that "we spent
$79.4 billion for 16.6 million used cars in
1982" and that new car dealers accounted for
47 percent of those sales while independent
dealers accounted for 11 percent. "What the
law would do is require any used auto dealer
to disclose any known defect to Ihe consumer
at the time of sale" he said, adding that "this
seems like simple equity lo the consumer" on
Ihe pari of the dealer.
Abrams added that he "hoped the new car
lemon law will push the used car bill through
the political system." Wilh a law like Ihis,
Abrams said Ihal he "hoped lo protect even
more consumers" when they undertake what
is the "second largest financial commitment
a family makes."
In addition to Ihc lemon law, Abrams addressed the fact that each year he gets
"floods of complaints about rip-off artists"
who pose as home improvement contractors.
Abrams, who called a home the "single
largest Investment" said lhat he had seen
"people absolutely devastated" by these ripoff artists. According to Abrams, the bill that
he is proposing would require every home improvement contract to be writlcn legibly,
contain the name and address of the contractor, the agreed price and a clause that "the
down payment can't exceed five percent of
the total cost or $300, whichever is less."
Abrams added thai he would require a
schedule of payments and a stipulation lhat
"no payment can exceed 100 percent of Ihe
value of Ihc work done so far."Abrams
pointed out that a similar law had been in effect in California for some time and "according to Ihc Attorney General, fraud has
dropped considerably," he added.
In regard 10 landlord-tenant relations,
Abrams said that Ihe most common complain! was that the security deposit was not
returned. One of Ihe reasons he gave for this,
was that "buildings change hands quite
often." Under a bill proposed by Abrams,
landlords would have 30 days aflcr the tenant
moves out to return the deposit, and that
"any purchaser of a building is going to be
obligated for the security deposit."
Abrams explained that he was looking to
arrange for consumers to have the right to go
to court and litigate for themselves in insurance cases and saw a real "need to further
regulate in the area of travel." Abrams proposed registration of travel agents and
establishment of a fund "to protect travelers
from insolvent travel agents." Abrams
pointed to a similar law in Canada and said
that it was "effective." "I'd like to see thai
for the state of New York," he added.
Abrams' sentiments were echoed by Bruno
and Assemblyman Ralph Goldstein
(D-Queens) at a press conference later that
afternoon. Goldstein reiterated Abrams' sentiments saying Ihal "we are here to make the
consumers aware lhat no mailer what they
do... they are all consumers."
Bruno pointed out thai he hoped "we can
all work together to make sure that what we
have done so far works." He pointed to the
new lemon law and said lhat they will be
keeping a close eye on it 10 "make sure It
works."
Both Bruno and Goldstein had several
ideas Tor Hie upcoming year, including a lype
of lemon law for people who buy houses,
citing a "need 10 cover lhat kind of
situation," according to Goldstein. They also
will be looking at the raise in prices since the
bottle law went into effect, According to
Goldstein, "35 to 40 percent (of the cans and
bottles) don't come back" and he thinks that
this un-rcturncd deposit money should cover
the handling costs for the manufacturers.
Goldstein noted that the big problem now
is enforcement. "Enforcement Is the name of
the game," he said, adding that we "definite-
ly need better enforcement" of Ihe laws we
now have.
Kenneth Rosenblum, Commissioner of the
Suffolk County Dept. of Consumer Affairs,
agreed saying that "we have some very good
laws out there now" but, he added, "we need
more people to enforce them."Rosenblum
explained that the lack of enforcement just
"impairs functions" of offices such as his.
Used Honda for sale
Abrams urges "lemon law" for used cars.
"As the head of a local agency," he said,
"we need more enforcement and equipment
from the state." Rosenblum added that he
was bothered by the "vacancy at the head of
the consumer protection board." Goldstein
noted that that position "will be filled shortly."
When asked if they feel the governor is doing a good job, Goldstein replied that "the
governor signs all the legislature for consumers that we send him, so he must be doing
a pretty good job." Bruno added that the
govenor "made a great commitment to the
people of the state by signing the lemon
law."
Although the turnout was the "largest
yet" according to Abrams, Rick Ostroff of
the Attorney General's office was a little
disappointed. "There was a crowd of between 700 to 800 people," he said, then added
that, unfortunately, "there wasn't a large
student turnout." According to Ostroff,
there were students from Syracuse in attendance as well as several classes of high school
students on hand to hear the speakers from
all over the slate, however, the turnout from
local colleges was "disappointing".
While addressing the conference, Abrams
said thai he has "heard a retreat when it
comes to the protection of consumers" lately. "Basically, what Ihc average New Yorker
needs is for consumer advocates to make
some basic changes in ihe law 10 protect consumers," he said in closing, adding "Let's
hope (hat we'll bring about Ihosc kind of
changes this year,"

Expert analyzes Reagan policies
By Jon Willinott
In describing the affect of the downing of
Korean Airliner flight 007, Wednesday,
SUNYA political scientist Eric P. Hoffman
said that, "it almost insures the re-election of
Ronald Reagan." Hoffman spoke before a
mixed crowd of students and colleagues in
LC6.
Hoffman stated that the crash "bears out"
the President's interpretation of the Soviet
Union as a menace to the world.
He added lhat "the event was of major international importance because of the liming: noting the period of transition the Soviet
leadership is going through.
Hoffman quoted Ihc editor-in-chief of
Pravda, the official News Service of the
Soviet Union, as saying Ihal the military
made a mistake by not owning up to the fact
immediately. He criticized Reagan, saying
that Reagan "could have and should have
toned down the rhetoric" lhat surrounded
Ihe issue.
When questioned about the comparison
between the significance of the plane crash,
the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, and the
situation in Poland, Hoffman explained thai
the "highly emotional" nature of the crash
makes the incident significant to the public.
He explained that people can relate lo a plane
crash more than the far-off fighting In
Afghanistan.
Hoffman also discussed Soviet-American
relations before Ihc incident. He said thai
socialist and capitalist forces arc the basic
source of dispute between the Iwo counlrics.
Hoffman noled that relations between the
Iwo changed in the I970's when the Soviet
Union achieved strategic parity with Ihe
Large crowd expected for
peace rally at army depot

CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
At least two busloads of people from Albany will join an expected 30,000 others
Saturday for a march and rally at the Seneca Army Depot near Rochester.
Activists claim that nuclear warheads arc stored at the military base — the largest
such installation in upstate New York.
"The focus of the action is to stop the Euromissilc deployment," said Dirk Hoekstra,
disarmament director for SUNY Albany's NYPIRG chapter.
The Reagan administration plans to deploy 464 Criusc missiles and 108 Pershing II
missiles in Europe later this year.
"There currently arc binding resolutions in Congress to postpone deployment one
year," he said, "and it has picked up a lot of support — but not from the president."

U.S.. He characterized the 30 years after
World War II in which the United States was
already in the arms race an "exceptional
period." "Exceptional," he added, because
it had never happened before and never will
again.
Hoffman continued his criticism of the
Reagan administration is their "tendency to
think problems can be solved through
military means." Commenting on how relations have changed, he said "The East-West
confrontations of the '40s cannot be rcprduc
cd in the '80s."
Expressing some optimism from the
airliner incident, Carl F. Lankowski, an
assistant political science professor al
SUNYA slated that the incident could spur a
"quest for new cooperation." Hoffman
agreed with Ihis view, adding Ihal "We ure
going lo have to learn how to coexist wilh a
country wilh different values from ours."
The incident has also affected SUNYA
students directly. A group of scholars from
the Soviet Union were set to come to
SUNYA. However, Hoffman explained that
due to "fear for Ihc safely of these men due
to the political situation" the visit was
cancelled by Soviet officials.
Hoffman has written several books, including, The Modernization of the Soviet
Union and East West Relations and The
Conduct of Soviet Foreign Policy. He is a
specialist on Soviet politics and East-West

Hoekstra said "Until recently, the Department of Defense wouldn't say where they
were keeping nuclear weapons. But now they say lhat there are 30 bases in the country
where they store weapons, and Seneca may be one."
He added lhat other unofficial sources have verified that nuclear weapons are stored
at the base.
"One reason people should be upset about the missiles Is that should the weapons be
deployed, the Soviets would move their missiles up" to locations in East Germany and
western Poland, he said. These SS-20 missiles are now kepi far from the border areas In
Hungary ami eastern Poland, added Hoekstra.
The Seneca Army Depot was Ihe site of a peace encampment by feminists this summer. Beginning July 4, several thousand women camped on a nearby farm and participated in non-violcnl peace demonstrations at the depot.
Several women still live in a farmhouse al the site anil should be involved in the
demonstration Saturday, said Hoekstra.
On Monday, a group of about 1600 will attempt to block the depot's gates in a nonviolcnl civil disobedience action, Hoekstra said.
Information on Ihc demonstrations, including transportation, is available at the
Social Action Center on Central Avenue in Albany.

non-Tupaidable," he said addressing the fact that the slate's Tuition
Assistance Program covers tuition
only.
"As a board, we must move
toward a policy of calling tuition
tuition," he said. He cited a utility
charge to campus faculty student
associations, relayed to students, as
a "lithe," which averages out to
$23 per students' cost of an educa-
tion; it's a smoke screen."
Tierney said that certain costs are
involved in the provisions of services to students that "we previously considered educationally
necessary costs," and that calling
them fees instead will "create a
mess for students in the future."
He also cited a "California
system," where there is no tuition,
"but a fee for everything," totalling about four to five hundred
dollars a semester. "We may be going to a California fees system," he
said, "We just didn't sec it."
Trustee Judith Moyers questioned whether lumping the costs of certain specific needs into tuition
would be fair to all students. Wharton called the problem one of determining to what extent a majority of
students might subsidize a minority,
which he said might happen by raising specific costs through general
charges, a "difficult issue which the
university wrestles with every
year."

At the first Graduate Delegate Assembly
and Constitutional Convention held October
15 and 16, at SUNY Blnghamton Graduate
Student delegates approved a new constitution that will include the recognition of a
Graduate Student Employees Union
(GSEU). GSEU, which represents 1,000
employed SUNY Graduate Assistants
(G.A.s), Research Assistants (R.A.s), and
Teaching Assistants (T.A.s) was approved
"nearly unanimously" according to Keith Inglis, steering committee member from
SUNYA.
The conference which included representatives from all four University Centers was
the result of a long struggle that began in
1974. According to Gary Ciurczak statewide
president of the GSEU, the union started (it
the University of Buffalo in 1974 and then attempted to be recognized by New York
Public Employees Relations Board
(NYPERB). "But," said Ciurczak, "the)
were told they had to be statewide." The effort thus died as did a similar effort in 1977
he added.
In 1981, Ciurczak explained, students at
Buffalo decided to try to make GSEU
statewide. The major enrollment drive, according to Ciurczak began in November
1982, and by May 1983, several thousand
names had been collected and were submitted
to NYPERB.
The weekend convention was described by
Steve Tesser, a SUNYA math T.A., as having "lots of exciting controversy." "We approved a consititutlon that's important to all
G.A.s, R.A.s and T.A.S on campus. All major decisions that the union will make or participate in will be decided upon by the
membership."
According to Ciurczak the union will finally give G.A.s, R.A.s and T.A.s a "legally
recognized bargaining agent" to negotiate
with SUNY for pay scales and other benefits.
"A GSEU would organize Graduate
Students and perform the act of collective
bargaining for G.A.s, R.A.s, and T.A.s to
make certain minimal guarantees, such as income," said Tesser. "It's just luck," he added, "at Albany we're fortunate, other
Graduate students are forced to teach two tc
three classes because they don't have a contract."
However, while the GSEU is on the road to
development, the Graduate Student Associa-
there was a shortage of eligible
men, but because there were
economic factors to consider.
Women were not pleased with the
demands of married life and didn't
want to be confined to a limited
sphere of activity. For the first
time, they could earn an imcomc
sufficient to live on, and many of
them liked the financial independence."
White said that she has found
trends. "Many of the single women
were native-born Americans of immigrant parents," she noted. "The
parents expected their children to
climb the social ladder. The
daughters went to work and didn't
have a chance to meet men or
didm't want to after they had had a
taste of Independence," she told
her audience of about 20 women.
Danish advisors chosen
By Suzanne Murphy
Two
prominent
Danish
businessmen were appointed to the
Dean's Advisory Council for the
School of Business. They arc Hans
Goth Paaschburg, managing director of the Danish bank Prlvatbanken Akticsclskab, and Christian
Rovslng A/S, the largest manufacturer of computer equipment in
Denmark.
The council meets every six months to discuss such basic issues as
student recruiting and placement in
business, public relations, fundraising, and internationalization for the
school.
The dean of the School of
Business, Harvey Kahalas, traveled
to Denmark In August to help expand the foreign exchange program
for business students at Albany.
While there he met with leading
Danish executives.
tion is still developing. The G.A.s, R.A.S
and T.A.s are still striving to establish a
Graduate Student Association at SUNYA.
"Albany is the only campus without a
Graduate Student Association," said Inglis.
The GSA would be similar to the Student
Association working for undergraduates at
SUNYA, he added.
"It would seem to me that SA would
benefit by having a GSA on campus. A lot of
the things that SA is interested in a GSA
would also be interested in, such as lawyers,
and major medical health insurance plans,"
Inglis noted.
According to Tesser under the present major medical health insurance plan only
graduate students who arc United States
citizens can benefit from the program. "That
eliminates at least half of the G.A.s, R.A.s
and T.A.s at Albany. What kind of plan is
that?" questioned Tesser.
Both Tesser and Inglis stressed that a
Graduate Student Association would only
Improve the quality of SUNYA. "It is to
SUNY's advantage if the Graduate Students
become more professional and increase the
quality of education and research and SUNY
as a whole," Tesser said.
Inglis noted that Graduate Students have
not been led to believe that they are doing a
good job. Having a union and a professional
status, he explained, would encourage a feeling of professionalism and a commitment of
quality in education and research. "That is
our most important reason for forming a
Graduate Student Association," he said.
The GSEU still has another battle to fight,
Tesser stressed. Presently the GSEU has a
written constitution, a delegate assembly and
an executive committee, he said. "Our next
big task at this point is getting the state to
ccritfy us as the legal bargaining agent for the
funded Graduate Students throughout the
SUNY system," Tesser explained.
Members of the GSEU are also considering
affiliation with a National Union. One
member stated, "Affiliation with a National
Union would allow us access to information
and people who are used to bargaining with
the state." "We were given the authority to
go ahead and go into negotiations, but
general membership will have to approve it,"
Inglis added.
A total of twenty-seven graduate students
attended the conference in Binghumton, including five representatives from Albany.
Tesser and Inglis, two of the attendees both
agreed that the conference was a huge success
and a step in the right direction for Graduate
Students statewide. "I went there worried
about politics and power plays," said Tesser,
"but the amount of dedication and good
feelings that were generated by the delegates
was really inspiring."
Marketing manager tells why Coke is really it
By Mike Taubleb
Coca-Cola Vice President Thomas Bonfair
"Diet Coke was an unparalleled success in marketing.
One of the most effective ways to learn
about any subject is from leaders in the field,
and when it comes to marketing, Coca Cola's
leadership is evident, according to the Executive Vice President of the North East
Coca Cola Bottling Company, Thomas Bonfair. Bonfair spoke on the subject "How is
'Coke it' " held Tuesday afternoon in LC 18.
The lecture was a combination of advice to
prospective marketing majors and a
demonstration of these techniques in action
as integral parts of Coca Cola's successful
promotion of Diet Coke.
Bonfair spoke of "winning, working hard,
being a strategist and getting involved as the
major attributes of a good marketing
manager."
Addressing a nearly full lecture center, the
Vice President lamented the lack of strategic
thinking in students entering the professional marketing field. He labeled strategic
thinking, "the dynamic movement and
countermovement of forces. The Japanese,"
he explained, " have natural talent in
strategic thinking. Few business schools exist
t h e r e , nevertheless American industry—especially the automobile manufacturers—have a lot to learn from them," he
said.
prospective marketing executive must be
prepared for failure and success, and to start
at the bottom." He then elaborated on Coca
Cola's application of successful marketing
strategies in its struggle to increase its share
of the soft drink market.
"The successful introduction of Diet Coke
into the intensely competitive soft-drink
market was an unparalleled success in
marketing historv," asserted Bonfair, addinK
that "one million cases were sold in New
York in one month. Behind this success was
an intense level of secrecy concerning the
name and nature of Coke's new product.
Such tactics as code names and routine switching of offices mislead the competition
enough to prevent anyone from entering a
similar product on the market before Coke,"
Bonfair said.
A short promotional film dealing with the
preparation for Diet Coke's introduction was
shown midway through the lecture. Justifying the large cost of Diet Coke's advertising
campaign, the Vice President claimed, "the
best of everything should be invested in promoting the best product."
Speaking on the role of the marketing executive, Bonfair maintained, "it is the job of
the marketing department of a company to
develop products that consumers want." He
said, "the marketing executive should not
consider his own individual preferences and
should understand the effect of public relations on the successful promotion of a product." This was evident in the way Coke
manipulated the media to focus significant
coverage on the introduction of Diet Coke to
the public." Commenting on the necessary
evil of cannabilization — when one product
steals a share of the market from another
product of the same company — Bonfair
assured that, "Coca Cola came out ahead,
though Diet Coke has deprived Tab of some
of Its market."
"How is 'Coke it': Strategic Thinking in
Relation to Marketing Diet Coke" was sponsored by the Delta Sigma PI fraternity and
D
the School of Business.
In meetings with Paaschburg and
Rovsing, Kahalas discovered that
they were very interested in higher
education. Both are on advisory
counsels to universities in Denmark. "When I requested that they
join the council here at Albany,
they readily agreed," said Kahalas.
The advisory council was initiated last year by Kahalas who has
served as dean of the business
school for the past two-and-a-half
years. To assemble the group, the
dean, with the help of business
faculty members, first looked at the
local business area to ascertain who
might join the council. "I tried to
gel a cross section of the business
community on the panel," he said.
Local appointees provided contacts throughout the state. The
panel has members from New York
City businesses, national and International concerns, and the New
York State Court of Appeals.
The council met for the first time
last April and convened again two
weeks ago. "The advisory council
has been terrific," says Kahalas, "It
is an excellent example of the
positive relationship that can exist
between the private sector and
higher education."
Single women from Albany,
Schenectady and Troy are Included
In her studies, White said, explaining that these arc Ideal socioeconomic pools since the three were
different in the early 19O0's but
within the same locale. According
to White, Troy was a city of textile
f a c t o r i e s , S c h e n e c t a d y was
dominated by General Electric, and
Albany had more diverse factories
and an opportunity for women to
obtain clerical jobs.
White's study also takes into account other single women: nurses,
teachers, nuns, artists, and eldest
daughters who stayed home to
fulfill househould duties when their
mothers died and who remained
single, White explained.
According to White, the high rale
of single women in the early 1900's
had an effect on history. Women
became more independent and did
not feel inferior, White added.
One of the women attending the
presentation thought that It was
"fascinating that women were interested in independence and working for a living then." But another
woman found it hard to believe that
" a few, uneducated immigrants
could change the course of history
and give women more freedom."
White said she was excited when
she came across evidence of a sports
club called the Women's Gymnasium Club which existed from
1899 to 1906. She explained that
this club set up a memorial fund in
honor of its founder Etta Lansing
Wentz, which paid for the cost of
nursing bills of self-supporting
women of limited means. White
concluded that single women in the
early 1900's knew about each other
and wanted to help.
White said her sources include
the census data at the stale library,
annual reports of the Albany Guild
of the Care of the Sick, annual
reports of the YWCA, editions of
the Times Union from the early
I900's and literature of that era including Century Magazine, North
American Review, Atlantic Monthly, and Harper's Bazaar.

initiates." She pointed out that the
new Minority Affairs office has a
budget, and noted that nobody expects the minority affairs coordinator to share a budget with or
report to minority groups.
Council passed two proposals on
SA tax policy. One, which Schaffer
said he plans to veto, sets an $8
limit on the regular formula for
computing the differential prices
for SA functions.
Any event
costing more than $8 will now cost
an additional $5 for non SA tax
paying students. The sections of
the bill that Schaffer opposes grants
council the power to override, by
majority vote, any differential fee
waivers granted by the controller.
Schaffer said it should require a two
thirds majority to overrule the controller.
The second lux policy proposal
states that any tickets costing more
than five dollars will be sold to tax
card holders three days before they
will be sold to non-tax card holders.
Council voted 17-0-13 on the appointment of Hamilton South for
an SA Supreme Court justice. This
did not provide enough affirmative
votes to approve his appointment,
which requires a two thirds majority of nil of council (33 members).

By Art Vidro
An Ohio State University professor who
visited SUNYA two years ago said he loved
Albany so much he has come back to the
university for his last year of teaching, after
which he'll retire and permanently settle in
the area.
Classics professor Dr. Robert J. Lenardon
has a slight build, sometimes wears thlcklenscd eyeglasses, and always exudes a littleboy quality, a little-boy laugh and a constant
twinkle in his eyes. He is leaching Greek
Mythology, Beginning Greek, and Fifth Century Athens this semester.
"His love for the material comes through
in each lecture," said one mythology student.
"Because of his enthusiasm, It's easier for us
lo be interested."
This ciiilmsiam spurred Lcnardon's cnlry
into the classics field. " I read Homer," he
recalled, "and reading The Iliad convinced
me I wanted lo be a
classicist."
In the classroom, Lenardon supplements his talks
with audio and visual aids.
"I play tapes in many courses," he said. He
also shows many slides, particularly in the
large mythology course. "It just makes It
more interesting—I h o p e , " Lenardon
chuckled, "Where it's appropriate, I use It."
" I ' d like to consider myself a demanding
teacher, not a pushover. But the students, I
suppose, are better judges of that."
"The students required pushing, and he
never really pushed us," said Jennifer Herrala, a former Latin student of Lcnardon's.
"And It was too easy to get him off on a
tangent. But it's not like he's a pushover."
She said Lenardon was fairly strict when
grading tests. "He had a lot of resources on
hand," she said, "and that added a lot to the
course."
Classics Department Chairman John
Ovcrbeck says Lenardon is "a quiet fellow, a
nice person easy to get along with."
Hcrrala agreed. Lenardon is "willing lo
bend over backwards to help you," she said.
"If you were sluck on (translating) a (Latin)
word, he'd give it to you. He couldn't bear
the sight of a struggling student, especially in
little tiny classes. If you ever need help out of
class, he'll give ii to you in buckets," But she

"What I like best about Dr. Lenardon,"
said Ihe mythology student, "is his sense of
humor. Once, when he wanted to begin his
lecture but the room was too noisy, he said
into his microphone, 'If you keep talking,

"My best humor is unintentional," said
Lenardon, "but I do try."

The reporter then attempted to do a story by questioning

to a specific facet of thought that I felt was present in our
nation today. M y friend, taking my words literally, thought
I was unnecessarily trying to enhance his view of America
with false virtue. I said to him that I didn't think America
was becoming more sensitive to world affairs. I know very
few people who feel the pain of hunger for the starvation of
those in the third world, nor do I know anyone who shudders in genuine fear for those who live in fear under the oppression of totalitarian regimes around the world. But for
some reason, more people in America today, keep llicir
eyes on worldly events. I told him, that I felt that almost
everyone in America keeps worldly events on the fringes of
their minds and lives. Perhaps it's the media, I said, that
makes everyone watch and wonder more than they used to.
Perhaps it's the nuclear threat that makes everyone glance
over their shoulders more and peek into affairs abroad.
Whatever the reasons are, I feel that Americans today keep
the world on the edges of their consciousness more than
they used to.
Robert Litt
M y friend asked me if I really thougt everyone was thinking like this. I said of course you can never make absolute
generalizations, but 1 think it is becoming more widespread
than it used to be. Example, when 1 was recently in Florida,
I mel a man who lives on one of the smallest of the Florida
Key Islands. He told me that he doesn't see people other
than himself for sometimes, up to two weeks. The first
thing he asked me, alter my name, was " H o w were the
marines in Beirut," and " d i d any more of them gel k i l l e d . "
You see? I said to my friend; even the most culturally
deprived and alienated express opinions and curlouslty on
matters of foreign policy. A l l opinions may not have to be
educated, political rationale, but they are still expression.
So what does this mean? My friend asked. I don't know I
said, but I was very clear on the resolution that increased
awareness is not necessarily brining greater change. And
you know what? I said, increased awareness does not
necessarily mean Increased intelligence. The reason I even
noticed the phenomena 1 was speaking about, was because
o f ull the political incohcreney going back and forth. My
friend pointed out to me that calling everyone's opinion
"Incoherent" was a bit snobbish. Yes, I said but realize, I
think even the government is wrong. I think we are conducting our foreign policy Insensitively and with little regard
for our imperialist tendencies. Even I have my own " f i n a l "
word on the world.
But let's not talk about views anymore. Let's put aside
ideals and talk about reality. Reality? My friehd asked.
Yes, I said. Lcl's talk about the reulily of all foreign policy.
Let's talk about war. War. That's the real thing. Men
lighting, shooting and killing. War, romanticized by glory
until you arc there, then it is real and unromantieized, so
real that many do not .survive even i f they are not killed.
Wait a minute, my friend said. There are other
"realities" of foreign policy. Trade sanctions are one example. Nations have and will get around them, I said.
What about military excerclses that display force? My
friend asked. They are not the real tiling, they are inconsequential. Besides, they really don't Intimidate any more nations that aren't intimidated already. The reality of all this
talk is still war. Now, 1 said, since people supposedly think
about the world more, do you think they regard the
ultimate reality differently? Do you really think Ihut we are
any less willing to go to war titan past generations have
been?
My friend and I parted company here. The questions that
1 posed to him I could not answer while we sat there talking. I thought about Ihem for awhile and I realized I may
never be able lo answer those questions fully. However,
some thoughts and observations were spurred in my mind. I
first turned my attention to the home from, trying to
fathom what goes on right here in the streets of America
thai plays its part in Ihc Internatlon scene. What did I sec? I
saw ihc pawns of the lofty government dreams. I saw the
players of the reality. I saw men.
1 saw men who arc outspoken war hawks. 1 saw men who
are outspoken pacifists. But most of the men I saw were of
neither category. These were the men ol' my grcatesl
curlouslty.
Though I hesitate to make sweeping generalizations, I
think that these are mainly men who think thai war is not
good. Though these men may impress you with a sense of
social responsibility with ihnl statement, try a mental experiment on one sometime. Ask them what they'd do if

A
fter two years behind the scenes,
Howard Devolo, the man dubbed
the "most Important man alive" by
NME magazine, has released his debut
album, entitled Jerky Versions of the Dream,
and it Is a first rale effort.
Joe Romano
Devoto has been a mainstay of the English
music scene since 1976, when he emerged
as .the lead vocalist of a pioneer punk band,
Ihe Buzzcocks. He left this Manchester group
shortly thereafter because he felt he had lo
shout to get his point across, and use eight
words where one would have sufficed.
Magazine was his next project. They
developed a large cult following In the U.K..
but nevei caught on in the United Slates
After putting out six powerful albums, Ihe
band spill up In search of new horizons.
Jerky Versions of the Dream was released
late this Summer, and It Is a creative mastei
piece. Devolo enlisted a hodgepodge ol
musicians for the album. Including long-time
friend and former Magazine keyboardist,
Dave Formula. He helped wllh the musical
arrangements, as well as playing the l-SF.
synthesizer, and occasional piano on all of
Ihe songs. Former Magazine bassist. Barry
Adamson, who has also worked recently
with former Buzzcock Pete Shelley, also appears on a few cuts.
The album Is certainly reminiscent of
Magazine, yet It Is also quite dilferent. There
Isn't one set domlnanl musical style, but a
variety of types, ranging from a ballad to an
all-out rock-n-roll number. Devolo also
varies the musicians, and Ihe Instruments used for each tune. His creative genius Is
shown In that he alone wrole the music and
lyrics for eight songs, and co-wrote the other
two. He Is able to enjoy more musical
freedom now than he ever could while fronting Magazine. Howard Devolo's talents are
able lo flourish on this album as they never
have before.
The first cut, and perhaps the best on Ihe
album, is "Cold Imagination." It Is a very
upbeat song highlighted by the great piano
and synthesizer work of Formula, and the
t o p - n o t c h d r u m m i n g of Pat A h e m .
Although Devoto makes use of the synthesizer on every song, It merely adds to Ihe
music ralher than controlling It. Laura
Teresa's icy chants accent the song beautifully, as does Martin Heah's steady bass line,
and Alan St. Clair's subtle guitar riffs. The
chorus Is very catchy, as is Ihe case In mosl
of the tunes on the LP. The rest of the song
keeps you off-balance, which Is now a
Devoto trademark.
The single from Jerky Versions of the
Dream Is "Rainy Season," which is the only
tune getting any radio airplay. It has also
been released as an MTV vldlo, which marks
the first time Devoto has ventured into this
field. It Is a very quick paced, accessible
number, again highlighted by the stupendous work of Dave Formula and Pat Ahern.
Devoto changes speeds again on "Way
Out of Shape," as he finally unleashes St.
Clair, Heath and Ahern on an out-and-out
rockln' tune. He Immediately brings the
music to a grinding halt with a ballad entitled
"Some Will Pay (for What Others Avoid),"
on which Devoto utilizes a saxaphone
sound, courtesy of Gary Barnacle of Leisure
Process.
Through all of this, Howard Devoto
manages to remain in total command of the
situation, which Is his strongest attribute. His
thoughtful lyrics and distinct, nasal voice
make the songs. The Instruments are a subtle
background for his sentiments, rather than
he being the front man for a mere jam session. The. guitar of St. Clair, and the bass of
he fail chill arrived earlier than expected. Without a coat to protect
me, tackling cold winds before my

Heath, James, and Adamson are kept In
abeyance just enough so that they don't
overshadow Devoto, yet still keep Ihe music
tight.
His clear, crisp vocals bring his Ideas
across very convincingly. Most of these concepts are centered around the topic of love,
and they convey a feeling of rejection, disappointment and frustration. In "Topless," he
sings about a man who is infatuated wih a
certain woman who shuns him as if he were
some mindless, empty fool: "Your beauty's
making me seem free, there's never been
any choice (or me. You are perfect, you can
do no wrong. You are perfect, you make me
feel like Napoleon, and I love you like no
one else." She "Calls him topless and incomplete," In spite of his devotion.
Two of the other top cuts on the album are
'Waiting for a Train," and "Taking Over
Heaven." In the former song, a man Is hoping to leave behind his bitter past by taking a
train to see his lover once again. The music is
very upbeat, funky, hand-clapping, flngersnapplng material. Devolo's vocals are again
backed by the superb work of Formula, the
steady drumming of Ahern and the fine sax
work of Barnacle. "Taking Over Heaven" is
the most Magazine-influenced song o n the
album. The music has a very sharp distinct
sound and Is highlighted by drlfty keyboards.
Vocalist Penelope Houston, from the San
Francisco punk band, The Avengers, joins
Howard on this track to add a little spice. His
vocals are more biting and raunchy, as opposed to the strong harmonies characteristic
of Ihe rest of the LP.
The music on JerJty Versions of the
Dream lacks the power of Magazine's
material, but that doesn't make II any less enjoyable. Howard Devoto's departure from
his former band has allowed him to achieve
the control he never achieved with them,
and he has never sounded better. Through
his mastery of Instruments, lyrics and music,
he has proven that he deserves a place
alongside the top creative geniuses in the
music world today.

Community residents often visit the
gallery. Recently we had "Myths and Sym-

response was not overwhelming.
This Is a major setback facing our gallery.

ASPECTS 5a
4 a ASPECTS]
Those of us who have grown up in the 7()'s and
early Mils have watched more television than any
previous generation, despite the fact that television has had very little to offer in the way of quality, Some of the best TV available has come In the
form of reruns of "classic" shows from the 50's,
60's, and even the 70's, such as The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, The Odd Couple, and,
most recently, Mash. Probably the best thing
about reruns for the fans Is that Ihey are usually
scheduled daily. When originally aired, the
viewers had to wait a week between episodes, but
for today's fans, these shows can be seen at least
once a day. and twice or even three times depending on how well you can negotiate your cable
box.
Of all the "classics," the one that has offered us
the most, yet always seems to be the least accessible is, The Twilight Zone. The Twilight Zone was
originally aired as a weekly series on CBS, from
1959-1964, for a total of 156 episodes, all shown
In prime time. As a rerun, it has always been a surprise to find The Twilight Zone on before 11p.m.,
and oftentimes It can only be seen after midnight.
But the late air time that The Twilight Zone has
traditionally been scheduled for has actually added a lot to what Is already an Incredible show. The
Twilight Zone just isn't the same when it's light
out, and the later it's on at night, the more effective the stories become. Probably the most crucial
element for a proper "Twilight Zone" atmosphere
Is that the lights must be out — the viewer must be
Immersed In the mysteries of the night.
I'm from the New York City area, so I grew up
watching "The Zone" on WPIX (Channel 24 on
Capitol Cablevlsion). Throughout high school,
WPIX showed the Zone on a pretty regular basis
on weeknights around 1 a.m. This made things
pretty tough because of school, and my parents
didn't particularly enjoy finding me watching TV
that late, or sleeping in front of the TV the next
morning. So 1 didn't watch the show very regularly. The show was usually also aired,however, on
Friday and Saturday nights, though even later,
say 3 or 4 a.m. This was a great way to end the
night, whether still with friends, or at home alone.
Summers were, for me, the best time for The
Twilight Zone. Even if I was working, staying up
until 2 a.m. on a weeknlght didn't seem so bad.
The problem was that with summer came the
Yankees, and WPIX aired many of their games.
The games would always end after 11 p.m.,
pushing back the regularly scheduled programm-
ming. This wouldn't be so horrible except for the
fact that WPIX always seemed to try to get back
onto their correct schedule by putting on the Zone
"already in progress," which Is nothing shor( of
sacrilege, or by noi showing it at all! Nothing could
be more frustrating than staying up until 2 a.m.
and not seeing the Zone, or seeing half of it,
especially If Its your first time seeing the episode.
When 1 got to college (Fall 1980), 1 learned to
appreciate what I once had — The Twilight Zone
was not broadcast in Albany. I learned that
Capitol Cablevlsion had WPIX. but living on campus, I had very limited access to cable TV.
During the summer of 1982, a new station
started in Albany — WXXA, channel 23 (5 on
cable). Not only did it feature lots of great movies,
but The Twilight Zone was on every night at 11

that, "Each show is a carefully conceived and

and shot with an eye toward mood and reality."
This past summer a movie called Twilight Zone:
The Movie was released, receiving mixed
reviews which tended towards bad. The movie
consisted of four segments. Three were Twilight
Zone remakes and one was an original. The
original was written and directed by John Landis
and was very trite. It had a typical Zone plot, but
lacked the real surprise of the TV show. Steven
Spielberg directed an episode called "Kick the
Can," which was perfect for him. In terms of.sentlmentality, this episode is the ET of Twilight
Zones — you know, the kind that could make you
cry. ET almost had me crying, this didn't. The
third segment, called "It's a Good Life," was so
different than the original that I had no idea that I
had seen it until I looked it up In the book. This
The Twilight Zone is a truly remarkable
phenomenon — a TV show that originally aired
20 years ago, yet still has a "cult" following type of
status. What Is most Impressive about the show is
that each episode's moral or point is still valid today. Whereas The lloneymooners and The Odd
Couple can still he enjoyed because they're funny.
The Twilight Zone remains a pleasure because il
makes us think, and wonder. It presents us with
questions that force us to reevaluate the way that
we look at things.
Why this show was able to generate such a
following has been In part a matter of timing. Durone was done very well, but most agree that the ing a period where we were all addicted to junk

' l"l'
Such Is the invitation greeting the reader
on the Inside Jacket of It's me, Eddy, by Edward Llmonov. This "fictonal memoir" recounts the tragedy and ecslacy of a happily
married reknowned Russian poet turned
New York welfare bum. The vulgarlly and
Inelegance are indeed unrelieved, yet Ihey
are anything but predictable.
In his search for love and security In Ihe
Western world, "little Edchlka" plunges the
depths of personal and societal depravity. In
adolescence a hoodlum and streetwise
ounk, he became a radical Soviet Intellectual
and poet. Inspired by Ihe calls of Sakharov
and Solzenllchen, he ascended lo the
Wonderful West lo fight Ihe evils of Ihe
Soviet regime. Now his I, ime Is a slcezy,
cramped, neglected welfare hotel. Inhabited
by the various denizens of failure and
nothingness who comprise this nonexistence, which runs below Ihe currents of Ihe
ordinary In New York. Eddie quilled his
homeland armed nol only with idealism, hut
with the passionate love of his beautiful wife
Elena. Drawn by Ihe riches of Western
hedonism, Elena pursues a bevy of male and
female lovers, driving Eddie inwards lo the
depths of his tormented psyche, and outwards lo Ihe streets of the cily and a most
despicable search for gratification.
As the novel opens, we discover Eddie In
the throes ol his "six monlh slide Into
tragedy," catalyzed by Elena's betrayal. Yet
there Is more lo his acrid rantlngs and
depraved meanderlngs than Ihe selfindulgent bitterness of betrayed love. Af a
Soviet emigre, and a truly poetic spirit, 1 d
die's tragic slide Into Ihe murky Western mire
Is unique, and downright extraordinary.
Many of Eddie's compatriots are fellow
t
• Soviets, artists and Intellectuals who rode the
wave of a dream across the Atlantic, only to
find themselves Immersed in a nightmare of
failure and frustration. They expected lo be
embraced by Ihe Wesl as heroic anti-Soviels,
hailed as bastions of human intellect and
creativily in a repressive, monolithic regime.
|"People accepted me (In Russia)," explains
jEddle, "but the state did nol. They came
looking for justice and found only another
regime — another mafia, as Eddie calls It.
The cult of business, materialism and
marketing oppressed and thwarted them just
as the Soviet slate had. In Russia Eddie and
his peers refused to succumb to the system,
and they were celebrated In America. In
America they refused to succumb lo the
system, and Ihey were driven lo Ihe bottom
of the barrel. At least In Russia, Eddie
lamenls, the system recognizes the power
and uniqueness of the artist and fears It. In
this country, art is contaminated by the
bourgeois demands of the capitalistic system
and rendered veritably impotent. So Eddie
and his friends hang on Ihe edge, scraping
by on welfare, unemployment, and occassional odd Jobs, wailing for some chance lo
see their dream of artistic freedom come
true.'
America's pedantic hedonism has not only
stifled and rejected Eddie's art, but il lured
his wife away, leaving him to wallow In
psycho-sexual torment. Strangling and raping Elena, masturbating to Images of her
making love with other men and wearing her
soiled panties are only a few of Ihe
manifestations of Eddie's pain. As Ihe pain
begins to lade and the tragic slide botloms
out. Eddie finds himself desperately in need
of love and acceptance — to be worshipped
In the way he once worshipped Elena. This
need propels him Into making love in a city
sandbox late one night with a strange black
man he chances upon Ihere. For a moment
he falls In love with this man. and swears lo
him eternal affection and loyalty. Yet the
next morning, Eddie brushes the sand off his
tattered self, and rejoins his quest on the
streets of New York.
A good part of the novel covers Eddie's
.sexual exploits, both with men and women,
Ifrom "Ihe lowest man In Ihe world," a
homeless black bum to whom Eddie
becomes a slave on the streets for a night, to
;a Jewish American "phlllsllne," who Is so
'caught up In the neurotic mediocrity of her
society that she can neither know nor attain
the heights of passion that Eddie needs to
soothe his pain.
As graphic and upsetting as these scenes
.are, they are not obcene. There Is something
,ln Eddie's character, something extraordinarily honest and human, which elevates
his experiences above Ihe self-serving indulgences of an individual who's gotten a
bum rap. What is truly disturbing about It's
Me, Eddie is nol Ihe vulgar language, frequent and perverse sexuality, or searing Indlcmenls of bourgeolse Western society, but
the character of Eddie from whence Ihey are
born. Eddie Is a true poet, a pure, radical
•spirit, whose criticism is matched by his sen
isillvlly. He views trie world with both terrific
anger and sadness, lashing out at those
tragic and ridiculous weaknesses and ambiguities which Infect the very fabric of
human existence. Eddy calls for revolution,
total revolution. In place of our lying, corrupl
world Eddie offers himself. Ihe Insllclual and
,pontaneous embudlmenl of Ihe human
spirit. And this is how we find him al ihe end
of the novel, offering himself to the pavement five stories below. Eddie leaves his audience guessing, yet one must believe that to
lump would be to betray his extraordinary
poetic spirit, leaving Ihe mysteries of being to
be perverted and compromised by the
pedants of the world.
The ending of the narrative is superbly appropriate, for It forces a reaction out of the
reader, if one Is sensitive and open-minded.
It's Me, Eddie is a provocative, yet insightful
look into the kind ol world we choose to live
In, on both societal and individual levels. For
the less progressive, the novel will seem a
vulgar, unnecessary exposition of the
ugliness that should be eliminated in our
lives. What they will not recognize Is that the
ugliness Is within all of us. and that the beauty Is nol wilhln their ideals of perfection, but
wilhin the passionate embodiment of human
life and spirit that Is Eddie.

I An Exorcise In Horror
J
esus asked the man his name, and
he replied 'Legion, for we are

I Blatty, is a solid book.

llwlsls
and
surprises,
Blally's
I hemldemlsemlsequel lo The Exorcist Is fine
craftmanship, if little else. The work even
contains a fascinating treatise on the nature
ol evil, along with a shocker of a theory on
why a supposedly good God allows II lo exist. So why is it. wllli all these things going
for il, thai Legion fails lo Impress me as being
: a very good hook''
John Keenan
It certainly Isn't Ihe fault of Blally's main
[ character, Bill Kinderman, a mensch with
real chutzpah. As the aging Jewish detective
who cannot help hut wonder why all Ihe
atrocities he's seen throughout his career are
permitted lo take place. Kinderman is easily
Ihe besl pari of the book. A familiar
character lo old Exorcist fans, Kinderman
leaves a trail of goylm behind him, as he
copes with such obstacles as a visiting
mother-in-law and a huge carp In his
bathtub, In his pursuit of the Gemini killer,
an Insane murderer who it was thought died
12 years before (on the very day, for any Exorcist readers, that Father Damlen Karras
dove out of the window of a little girl named
Rags room, where he was exorcising a
demon. See how snugly this all begins to fit
together?) Old fans will also recognize Father
Dyer from Blalty's earlier work. Allhough
he father is only used in a minor role (indeed, he doesn't appear In Ihe latter half of
the book al all) lie adds a great deal lo the
work. It is Kinderman. however, who is Ihe
most absorbing character in the honk.
Il Is also Kinderman. unfortunately, who
becomes ihe major voice of Blalty's
theological musings, and II Is Hie amount ol
lime spent on these musings which helps
make the novel ultimately disappointing,
Although Blally's work is totally professional.
Ihe book [alls to hold Ihe readers attention as
well as most of his olher novels. Sadly.
Kinderman is allowed lo be constantly
diverted from finding the killer by his own
feelings ol futility, and this leads lo an inordinate amount of soul searching thai
becomes ultimately boring. The theory has
literary merit, certainly, in that It Is original
and Ihought-provoklng, However. Blally
overplays the'philosophy for whal Is basically a horror slory.
Kinderman's theory, which won't be
divulged here, is an Interesting one, and the
'revelation of II makes a fine epilogue for Ihe
book. However, all Ihe coy himllng Kinderman engages In seems a bll out of chancier,
and Ihe discussion of various theories, while
thought-provoking, slows the pace of the
novel a good deal. Doubly annoying was
Ihe presence of Ihe neurologist Amfortas- a
.character one at first suspects of being of major Importance, he ultimately becomes little
more than a device by which Blatty Is able to
further explain his theory.
Meanwhile, while enmeshing his
characters in all sorts of ruminations on the
nature of God and Satan, Blatty appears to
have forgotten one of the most elementary
rules ol story-telling...avoiding deus ex
machlna.
Although Blalty's reluctance to write
another exorcism scene seems understandable and even commendable, Ihe reader
finds himself wishing Blally could have
found a more palatable ending than Ihe
quick oul he eventually uses.
When describing Legion, the word that invariably comes to mind Is slick. Legion is a
.veil written, well.packaged, well merchandised piece of storytelling with all the ends
lucked neatly In. but it hardly seems to be the
work of Ihe major novelist Blatty Is supposed
to be. The difference between good writing
and good storytelling Is rarely more apparent
than It was with Legion, which, even for the
price of a paperback, may be "many," but
certainly wasn't much.

ivas very disappointed with the column in your October
|ssue, " T h e Politics o f Pornography," by Ken Dorn, What began as a fairly objective, interesting article,
borted by facts ( i f not always Incontrovertible facts),
Ikly degenerated into an individual's tirade against men
Icncral. I regard statements like " T r y i n g to take away
in from a man is like trying to take away candy from a
and " T h e obvious hatred pictured within the
| c r i a l lets women know exactly where they stand in
i's eyes" as offensive and bigoted,
lagrce that abusive pornography is a subject that should
piscussed, and that by definition a column is an cxpresJ of the columnist's opinion; but when this opinion canIbe expressed without prejudice it becomes dangerously
|ted to "misogynous propaganda" itself.
— David I.. Rockwell
Itudent help needed
Ilii- Editor:
Incc I've been the Director of a federal grant designed to
aic respite, or relief, services for parents with a disabled
I've had the pleasure o f enjoying the bright cnliasm that college students show in working with
drcn with ..pecial needs.
Do you think your readers have ever wondered what it
Bid be like not l o have a break, no December seasonal
•lion, no spring break, for say, thirteen years? Parents
Jve talked l o haven't been away from their home on
nlion for live, eleven, and sometimes thirteen years
I c their child was born.
Thanks to many college students in the Albany,
jtsselaer, and other areas, we at the Respite Project have
§n able lo offer a Friday night out lo some of the parents
fin've called us. After going through a 16-hour training
'Jion, the students have met a family who lives nearby,
sa»no teaches the students how to care for their child In[dually.
I'm writing because we need more earing people like tile
Junteers we have now. For the pie-uied, human services,
wising, and social work students, this experience means an
kcellent addition lo ilieir resume (both the naming and ihe
{Swiericncc working with one child) thai means everything
in ihe light j o b market, l o r others, ihe lime they give is
small compared lo what i l means l o iwo parents who
haven't been out lor a uuiel dinner lor iwo in years. I hope
you will pi till this so students who read your paper will
have an opportunity l o tunc in to whai they can do lo help
in their community. We hope potential volunteers will call
us ai 457-0443.

Bad trend noted

To the Kditur:
;^1 have been looking ai trends on this campus over several
years, l i v e years ago I could walk down Ihe dorm halls and
smell ihe sweel aroma of poi. Today as I walk about in the
residence halls 1 don'i find the smell flowing. Is ihis a good
sign? What does ii represent? To me there lias been an alar^ n g trend in recent years. In days gone by students sought
recreate, enjoy life, and grow. Today the situation lias
lerioraled lo a situation in which all that is valued is the

grade. A full well rounded education has been replaced by
concentrated effort to get marks and get out. The past atmosphere o f the college community has turned into a cut
throat competition center where the students only concern
is for him- or herself. Are we turning out better people, well
adjusted and ready to help their fellow man? Or are we nrong. They were maladjusted, self-centered, rude* uncaring
individuals. It is my opinion that this institution should
focus more on producing well adjusted socially concerned
young adults, rather then the self centered uncaring i n dividuals I see emerging today. Education involves maturing and growing not just book learning and memorization
of material. We must return to the time when students were
socially aware and concerned. I f we are to produce a better
society in which to live our emphasis must change.
— John Williams
Opportunity open
To the Editor:
Presently a iremendous opportunity exists l o r those
students with a desire l o get involved. The tutorial program
administered by EOP offers students a great opportunity to
further their education while helping someone else.
Once accepted, students arc assigned tutorccs in any
academic area Ihat s/hc feels most adept. Tutors receive
hourly wages o f $3.50 an hour and schedule sessions with
one, two, or three tutorccs. Typically, there arc too few
tutors lo meet the demand created by Ihe large number of
students thai enroll to receive academic assistance.
Drop in lo the LOP office located opposite CUE, follow
the signs and inquire aboui Ihis program dial benefits
everyone involved.

Rule violations
I d (lie Kditur:
As the 1983-84 Central Council elections in which one
seal was opened have passed, 1 would like l o detail the
violations o f the rules and regulations that occurred on
Alumni Quad, and the general "circus'* that it turned Into.
Firstly, I was quite appalled to have a campaign flyer
slipped nuclei my door with the quote "Endorsed by Rich
Schuffer" on the bottom. The implications of ihis quote
are that all of the candidates expressed their views to the
president, and from these views lie determined which candidate would receive his endorsement, However, there was
no forum in which the candidates expressed their ideas, so
no endorsement should have been issued in fairness to all

the candidates. What it appeared to be In the eyes o f one
who watched the campaign very closely was a last-ditch effort t o secure a position for a friend without regard as to
how hard the other candidates worked. This fact is further
confirmed in that only the candidate Steve Sinatra was endorsed by Rich Schuffer. The other four quads were also
electing one Central Council member, but no candidate was
endorsed. Why was only the candidate from A l u m n i endorsed?
On Tuesday night, the final night of the election, both
the Brubacher and the Waterbury-Aldcn cafeterias were
" i n v a d e d " by a crew of Sinatra supporters, including our
very own Central Council representative, Steve Russo.
What they did was electioneer in both cafeterias, an illegal
action. On Monday night they attempted to frame the main
opponent, Nathaniel Churny, by complaining that he was
electioneering in the cafeteria, when in fact he was responding to the question of which side of the cafeteria the polling was taking place that night. Upon the failing o f this
plot, they proceded to lake the rules o f the election committee into their own hands, The manager o f the Brubacher
cafeteria had three of them removed from the cafeteria for
illegal entry through the outside door and for electioneering. They were witnessed to be standing around the voting
booth in Brubacher. I hope l o gather the names and
testimonies of the witnesses and to present them to the election committee, I witnessed similar activities in Ihe Walden
cafeteria, and have filed u complaint.
liven stranger was the fact thai one person in Brubacher
overheard the statement, " W e only need seven more votes
to win B r u , " even before the polling was closed. A t 7:00
p.m. Tuesday night, well over three hours before the results
were announced on WCD11, Steve Russo and clan were
running through Alden Hall with champagne, proclaiming
thai Sieve Sinatra had won by four votes. Is there some sort
of hotline between the S.A. Office and the Steve Sinatra
team? I have some very serious doubts us to the validity of
Ihis election, and I intend to see that justice is administered
and thai (his pus! election is invalidated.
If Ihis is the way S.A. intends to run their elections, then
maybe I hey should change their name to F.S.A. (Friends ol'
Student Association), because it is apparent that helping a
friend gel Into student govern men I is more crucial than
fairness to all. II this election's results are allowed to hold,
then I want nothing to do with S.A., and people who are
considering becoming involved should take a second look
at what they are doing.
— Riehurd Wilson
Good show
To the Kditur:
I just want to commend the elclibn committee on a job
well done. I h i s past Monday and Tuesday S.A. elections
were held on all lour quads and in Ihe Campus Center. The
elections were professional!) set up with the utmost efficiency, Especially on Colonial Quad who showed their
Strength in force due lo the obstacles ol a missing noting
booth and wrote in ballots. Also piaise is in order for the
election committee head Tom Mushy who set the whole
iliow up. Thanks Tom from all of us concerned studenis.

the grievance procedure, Article 33
of the collective agreement between

According to Chen, she signed
the letter and understood the clause
to mean that she, " w o u l d not contest any o f President O'Leary's
previous non-renewals. It didn't
mean the Chancellor's review."
Welch stated that the review
upheld the position o f the University, and that Chen was removed
from the staff on February 28,
1983.
Professor Chen has said that,
"while
looking
over
the
Chancellor's Review Committee's
review process and its final negative
decision, I became al| the more
enraged with the contaminating
power o f a campus president."
Chen has claimed that " i n order to

president can corrupt not only those
administrative personnel working
under him but also implicate the
SUNY Central Administration in
the act of continuing injustice to a

member."
President O'Lcary tried to reaffirm his position by saying that he
just wanted "people t o understand
that It wasn't a one-person
decision." " T h e case was reviewed
four times and upheld all four

a recent article in the Schenectady

Suit against NYPIRG barred
By T i m Shell
STA TE PRESS S/:« VICE
Eight students who sued the New
York Public Interest Research
Group last spring, in hopes o f getting back activity money given to
the consumer awareness! group,
have been denied class action status
in the ease. This removed nearly $1
m i l l i o n in l i a b i l i t y
against
NYPIRG.
According to N Y P I R G Director
Marilyn Ondrasik, U.S. District
Court Judge Lloyd F. McMahon
denied the eight class action status,
which would have had the students
suing N Y P I R G on behalf or all
SUNY'students, because they filed
for that status a month alter the
deadline, about two weeks ago.
Why the plaintiffs', represented
by c o r p o r a t e - s u b s i d i z e d M i d Atlantic Legal Foundation, did not
make the filing deadline is presently
unknown. Mid-Atlantic attorney
John Collins, representing the
plaintiffs, refused comment on the
issue.
Ondrasik said seven SUNY campuscs.all with NYPIRG chapters on
campus, were also named in the suit
and that N Y P I R G attorneys will try
to remove three of those as
defendents because the eight
students come from only three campuses.
The studcnl plaintiffs, from
Albany, New I'allz and Stony
Brook, claimed that forced contributions, via activity fee payments
allocated to NYPIRG after campus
Yefcrendums, violated constitutional rights to free speech and due
process of the law.
Ondrasik said last spring that if
NYPIRG lost, other issue oriented
groups like gay and lesbian and
bluck student unions, and SASU,
could conceivably come under attack. SUM, she says, because the
judge "based his decision not on
the merits of the case, but on the
basis of being a month late,
students could^uc other groups on
a similar basis."
The class action suit, had it been
granted by the judge, would have
sought repayment of all activity
money NYPIRG had collected since
1972, approximately $1 million. ! I
Englishman finishes a long trek
NEW YORK
(AP)Now that he has rested a while
and is heading back home to
England, George Mcegan looks al
his record walk — about 19,000
miles — as a "celebration of
freedom, a celebration o f people."
" I t ' s not a bad world, my
w o r l d , " says Mcegan, who took six
years to trek from the tip o f South
America to Alaska's Arctic coast.
" I f I learned anything, it's that I
have confidence in people. We arc
all human beings in this world,
struggling to survive and willing to
help each other."
Mcegan, his Japanese wife
Yoshiko and their two children —
both born since he began his
journey — are scheduled to leave
Sunday aboard the Cunard Line's
QE2 for Southampton, England.
Until then, he and his family arc
"camped out in a friend's living
r o o m " in Brooklyn.. " I had to beg
and borrow to get here" from the
finale o f his walk.
Mcegan and his wife, whom he
met about eight years ago while hilchhikiug in Japan (she gave him a
lift in her car), managed to meet
from time to time during his
marathon journey. Their children
arc A y u m i , 5, whose name means
" w a l k " in Japanese, and Geoffrey
Susumu, 3, Ihc latter half o f his
name meaning "keep g o i n g . "
Mcegan, age 30, served seven years
as a merchant seaman. He was with
the merchant Navy in South
America when he decided to attempt the longest walk on record.
Mcegan and his family are traveling on the QE2 as guests o f the
Cunard Line, and he is set to give a
lecture on his odysscy to other
passengers in recompense. He Is
looking forward to his arrival in
Southampton, scheduled for Oct.
26, especially since he believes his
mother, Mrs. Frieda Mcegan, is being brought there from Kent to
greet him.
When he is settled back home,
Mcegan says he plans to work on
the manuscript for a book entitled
"Journey H o m e " which he hopes
will be published next year, and
which will try to show how a man
"can live so long on the good will of
people."

Study reveals sex gap
in faculty salaries
Washington, D.C. (CPS) The
average male faculty member last
year made over $5000 more than his
female colleague, and continued to
get higher raises than her, a new
study by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) says.
The gap between men's and
women's faculty salaries has widened steadily since a 1977-78 low of
$3500. Last year it reached $5374,
the NCES reports.
" M u c h of the overall difference
(in men's and women's salaries) is
due to women being at the lower
level positions on their faculty,"
says T o m Snyder, an NCES
analyst. Indeed, the report shows
there were 76,508 male professors
last year, compared to only 9654
female profs. A l the instructor
level, however, 11,735 were women,
while 10,527 were men. Snyder
believes the salary-gender gap will
narrow as more women work their
way up the ladder and achieve more
seniority.
Another
reason f o r
the
discrcpcncy," Snyder says, " c o u l d
be the salary differences among different fields o f study. More men,
for example, teach in engineering
and computer science fields, which
usually have higher pay scales than
other fields.
Male faculty members also got
higher raises last year — seven per-

women. Men out-earned women at
every academic level, the study
shows. Overall, male teachers earn
ed an average $28,394 in 1982-83,
compared to $23,020 for women.
The salary difference between men
and women varied from $1100 for
beginning instructors to nearly
$4000 Tor professors.
" T h e growing gap (between
men's and women's salaries) clearly
shows that there is still a lot o f
discrimination against women in
education," says Judy Touchton,
associate director for the American
Council on Education's Office of
Women in Higher Education. Even
considering that many women arc
newcomers to higher edueulion and
may leach in lower-paying fields
" t h e report is proof that Ihc progress women made in the seventies
is s t i l l far f r o m
finished,"
Touchton says. Furthermore, " t h e
proof is only Ihc first step. Based on
this information, institutions need
to look al themselves and sec (hat
men and women with comparable
years o f service arc getting paid
equally."
The NCES report,
which
surveyed 2748 public and private
schools nationwide, also found that
faculty salaries overall increased 6.9
percent last year, compared to a 9.2
percent increase for 1981-82.

Adam Fortunate Eagle Nordwall, a Chippewa Indian, was jailed a year and a half ago
for selling eagle feathers.
After a hung jury and an unpaid fine of
$15,000 Nordwall is still righting with the
federal government. He spoke about some
of the obstacles he's encountered with the
government and the plight of American Indians' civil rights at a speech sponsored by
the Anthropology Club Wednesday night.
Nordwall was introduced by Dr. Peter
Furst, a member of the anthropology department at SUNYA. Furst said he and his wife
Jill met Nordwall while camping in Santc Fc
last summer.
Nordwall addressed the audience with his
hair in two long braids, wearing traditional
Indian beads and shirt, and smiling as he
spoke. Yet, (he light for "the right to be an
American Indian" is a "somber thing," said
Nordwall.
He spoke of Indian civil rights, saying that
not until 1887 were American Indians
recognized as people by the federal government. "To prove that we were not animals,
but people," said Nordwall, "an Indian had
to humble himself and cry in a federal court.
Animals cannot cry," he said.
In 1924, the speaker pointed out, Indians
were finally given the right of citizenship.
However, "this only gave the Indians the appearance of citizenship." He explained that
Indians are required to take a competency
test. "If you don't pass, you are considered
incompetent and the federal government
sends the Bureau of Indian Affairs to guide
you. We have another name for the BIA:
Boss Indians Around," he said.
In 1969, he continued, the American Indian Freedom of Religion and Worship Act
was passed, proving that if such an act had to
be passed that "Indian citizenship was a
tokenism, a joke."
Nordwall then held up a thick volume of
papers saying, "In 1979 President Carter
signed one page of this: the American Indian
Religious Freedom Act. He directed it to
Congress to get some legislative teeth put into
Hoffman speaks
it, but that was never carried out. These
pages have no legislative backing. The
government doesn't want to talk to us about
it."
Nordwall also spoke of his personal battle
with the United States government over Indian ceremonial rights. "The outcome of
this battle could effect all American
Indians," he said. A year and u half ago,
he explained, he was approached on his reservation by an urban Indian from Oregon who
expressed the desire to return to the traditional ways. The Indian wished to purchase
eagle feathers from Nordwall. "I am a pipe
holder, which gives me certain rcsponsibilltcs
and obligations to help people who come to
the reservation and want something in a
ceremonial way. They have a kind of need
and they express that need. I believed this
man because he seemed sincere and spoke
such sweet words to me. I wish to trust
everyone. I wish to love everyone. 1 wish to
be friends with everyone," said Nordwall.

By Karen Pirozzi
The effects of raising the drinking age from .18 to 19 have not yet
become evident. Legislators are
awaiting a report from the New
York State Division of Alcoholism
and Alcohol Abuse (DAAA),
before voting on the bill sometime
between January and June, according to DAAA Public Information
Coordinator Madeline Lewis. The
division is withholding support of
drinking age. SASU itself would
not be involved in the education
aspect, but would support groups
that were.
A "massive protest" is also planned by bar owners across the state,
according to Albany Area Liquor
Dealers Association President,
Joseph Zarriello. The campaign Is
not yet fully planned but, Zarriello
says, last week's state convention of
"Young people are novice drinkers and novice
drivers... We put them on the road with 4,000 pounds
of deadly weapon."
— J i m Burnett
local liquor dealer associations
outlined some strategics.
Five or six delegates from each
county compose the 300-member
convention, where they approved
the fight against the new drinking
age as their number one priority this
year. Included in the campaign will
be public service announcements
for both radio and television.
Zarriello asserts that Cuomo Is
' using the bill as a political tool and
that 19 and 20-ycar-olds have to
make their feelings known. He
countered possible accusations that
bar owners are ignoring statistics
and don't really care about stopping DWI. "We have other statistics
that show drinking outside the
home starts at 16." Raising the
drinking age won't stop drinking,
but will "just push 19 and 20-ycarolds to drink in unsupervised ntmosphcrcs, such as cars and
parties."
Nov. 8 is Election Day
the bill until all data is in.
However, Lewis says, the data
received from seven or eight other
states which have raised their drinking ages show an average decrease
of 28 to 29 percent in alcohol
related uccidents. She stressed the
group's support for education and
rehabilitation where alcohol is concerned. "Raising the drinking age
to 21 represents a social change as
well as a legislative one. Social
change takes a while for people to
get used to."
The national organization,
Remove Intoxicated Drivers (RID)
Director Doris Aiken says that
although her group supports the
proposed bill because it will save
lives, what they would really like to
sec is one national drinking age.
It's "unconscionable that states do
not get together and decide what it's
going to be." "I'm fed up with
bartenders," Aiken added as she
charged that tavern owners and
lawyers do not want to see the present system changed because of a
potential loss of business. "They
don't really care about saving
lives," she contended. The New
York State Bar Association
(lawyers), would not comment.
If road blocks and immediate
license revocation programs were
set up, Aiken said, people would
curtail drunken driving. "Safety
check points will deter people if
they think they'll get caught," she
says.
The National Traffic Safety
Board recommends raising the
drinking age to 21 nationally also,
according to Jim Burnett, chairman.
He calls young people

how to do cither yet. We put them
is n social environment in which the
major form of entertainment in the
nation is to drive somewhere where
alcohol is being served. And then
we put them on the road in up to
4,000 pounds of deadly weapon."
Some statistics on alcohol related
accidents since the 19-year-old
drinking age was instituted arc
available. Malcolm Abrums, director of research lor the Department
of Motor Vehicles, says that in the
period from December 5, 1981 to
June, 1982, five percent of alcohol
related accidents (368 of 7240) were
caused by 18-ycar-olds. For the
same period one year later, after the
drinking age was changed to 19, the
figure fell to 4.1 percent (292 of
7161).
Abrams stressed that while these
statistics may suggest that the new
drinking age has been worthwhile,
more research is necessary before
conclusions can be drawn.

Center, which will be part of the
former president's library and
museum complex. Since Franklin
D. Roosevelt, every American
president has had a library and
museum crrected in his name to
house important presidential papers
and honor his administration. Hut
many of Stanford's faculty
members arc up in arms over plans
to locate Reagan's presidential
depository on campus.
While most agree (he presidential
library* — which would hold
millions of documents and archives
from the Reagan administration —
would be a valuable addition to the
campus, many faculty members are
concerned about the museum and
public policy centers that would accompany the library. The museum
and policy centers, they point out,
would be active, conservative
organizations operating on a supposedly non-partisan campus. In
addition, they would require private
funding and upkeep, while the
library — since it contains historical
federal archives — would be maintained by the federal government.
Much of the Stanford-Reagan
museum controversy is centered
around the already-existing Hoover
Institution, a conservative think
tank located on the Stanford campus and run under the auspices of
the university. "Last spring there
was a petition circulated on campus
asking for an investigation of alleged partisan activities by the Hoover
Institution," explains Stanford
spokesman Bob Beyers. With faculty and students already concerned
about Stanford's conservative ties
to the Hoover Institution, he says,
the prospect of adding Reagan's
library and museum has spurred additional fears the university will
become too conservativelyoriented.
Proposed draft bill attacked
Washington, D.C.
(CPS) Giving credence to their
earlier fears that forced Selective
Service military registration would
lead eventually to reinstatement of
the draft itself, student and antidraft groups arc voicing growing
concern over Sen. Ernest Hollings'
(D-SC) new proposal to establish a
peacetime draft.
"There's some debate over how
seriously to lake this proposul
because every year someone seems
to come up with legislation to reimplement the draft," says Alice
Hell of the Committee Against
Registration and the Draft
(CARD). "Hut there does seem to
be more interest this time around,"
she added, "particularly with the
U.S. having troops in the Middle
East and Central America."
The draft proposal also is garnering more attention than previous
ones because Hollings is one of the
contenders for the Democratic
presidential nomination, adds
Kalhy Ozer, legislative liaison for
the U.S. Student Association
(USSA). Hollings proposes that all
men aged 18-to-24 serve at least two
yeurs in the armed forces.

Controversy surrounds plan for Reagan library
time they were drafted and the lime
they would be inducted, while
seniors would get one year to
graduate before beginning to serve.
Hollings introduced the bill
"because he doesn't believe the allvolunteer Army has worked," explains Hollings aide Mike Copps.
"Sen. Hollings feels the present
system perpetuates Inequity by placing the burden of the defense of our
country on the poor, blacks, and
(hedisadvantaged," Copps says. In
addition, he says, "if yon look at
the demographics we won't have all
that much young manpower coming
along in the future, and it is doubtful an all-volunteer Army will be
able to recruit the number of people
we'll need to maintain our defense
forces."
Hollings' proposal "is very surprising to us," says the USSA's
Ozcr, "because he has been very
pro-education in the past, and the
draft is a very unpopulur thing to
talk about when you're running for
president."
Copps admits "there Is opposition" to the draft proposal, but
adds "Sen. Hollings is proposing
what he thinks is necessary, not
necessarily what everybody wants
or will gel him votes."
The bill, in fact, began winding
its way through the Senate
simultaneously with the October
3rd national "day of protest"
against the Solomon Admendment,
the law requiring men to show proof of registration in order to get
federal financial student aid.
CARD organized campus rallies at
Lehigh, Columbia, Wisconsin,
Hamilton College, Monlclair Slate,
Oregon, and West Virginia.
The U.S. Supreme Court has
agreed to decide whether the
Solomon law is unconstitutional,
but won't rule on the case until
1984. Until then, all male students
must register to get aid.
Rep. Robert Edgar (D-Pa) has introduced a bill to repeal the
Solomon Amendment even before
the court rules, Whether the
amendment slays on I he books or
not, registration will remain, and
the subject of reviving a full draft
has become current. The proposals
to revive it "are what we've been
warning people about ever since
Ihey rcinstituted registration," says
CARD'S Bell,
"In starting registration it was an
inevitable step in the direction of
bringing back the draft," she says.
"After all, (the government) didn't
want everyone's name just so they
could send them birthday cards."
Indeed, the Hoover Institution
lists among its fellows such names
as current Secretary of Stale George
Schultz, Undersecretary of
Transportation Darrell Trent,
presidential economics advisot
Milton Friedman, and special advisor to the prcsidenl Martin
Anderson. Overall, "more than 40
fellows and former fellows of the
Hoover Institution are members of
the Reagan administration," Beyers
notes. "And Reagan has said .hat
the Institute is one of the leading
sources of his ideas."
"We take various positions on
the role of the Hoover Institution,"
noted 20 Stanford Law School professors in a recent letter to a university advisory panel studying the
library/musuem proposal. But "it
is quite another matter to embrace
what would amount to a major expansion of the functions and Influence of the Hoover on campus,"
the law profs warned. "Over 200
faculty letters have been sent lo the
committee on the library and
museum proposal," Beyers says,
noting he can't remember "any
other issue on which so many letters
have been written."
The advisory committee is
scheduled lo meet with Stanford
President Donald Kennedy this
week to discuss preliminary findings
on the proposal, he says. Meanwhile, faculty members at Emory
University have voiced Utile if any
opposition to Ihe university's recent
announcement it will operate and
maintain the Carter Center In
Atlanta. But Ihe center — a liberal
think lank and meeting ground for
world leaders — will be run
separately from ihe library and
museum buildings, which will also
be part of the $25 million Carter
complex,
"The Cnrter Center will be
operated and staffed by Emory
University," says center spokesman
Steven Hochman. "But it is not
located on university property, and
we will not be responsible for the
library and museum," he says. So
far, "we haven't had any objections
or controversy concerning the
university's involvement. Bui
Carter is also a professor at
Emory," Hochman adds, "so it's
not like the center is his only involvement or presence with the
school."

Logo licensing means big revenues for schools
University Park, PA
(CPS) There's a new cat and new
lettering on Penn State t-shirts,
sweatshirts and mugs this fall. The
traditional Nlttany Lion with its old
block lettering are gone.
They're victims of a renewed
campus pursuit of as much as
$500,000 in licensing revenues. Indeed, more ichools — mostly in the
province of the Third Federal
District Court in Pennsylvania —
soon may be junking honored old
symbols and logos in favor of new
ones in the coming years, according
to v a r i o u s a d m i n i s t r a t o r s ,
trademark experts, and clothing
manufacturers.
The reason, they say, is to make
it easier to control and lay claim to
the money to be made from
manufacturers who put collegiate Penn State's assistant athletic direc"allied marks" — pictures of tor, "schools were pleased to have
mascots, school initials, etc. — on their names on things as a sort of
walking billboard. But along came

Dupree may challenge NCAA
Hallisburg, Miss.
(CPS) Running back Marcus
Dupree, after enrolling at the
University of Southern Mississippi,
hinted that he may try to buck
NCAA rules that would prohibit
him from playing college football
again until 1985.
"You never know what might
happen here," the 19-year-old said,
shortly after he enrolled Wednesday. "There's always the possibility
of going to court."
NCAA rules require an athlete
who transfers to sit out one calendar year before he can compete
again.
Dupree, who abruptly' left the
Olkahoma Sooners last week
because, he said, he wanted to be
closer to his Philadelphia, Miss.,
home, appeared a little annoyed at
the attention his registration at
Southern Mississippi had caused.
With his mother, Cclla Dupree
Conners, at his side, Dupree said

genuinely pleased at knowing that

spoke of maintaining close to a 3.0

a communications major.
"I figured I needed to get into

because

prises, which helps license the
marks ofYsomc 60 schools nationwide, points out Penn State is in the
only judicial district in the country
where courts have ruled against
schools In trademark rights wi'h
p r i v a t e m a n u f a c t u r e r s who
marketed products without paying
schools.
"They took an ounce of prevention," Crossland says. "They
figured 'If we're going to the hassle
(in the courts), why don't we go
ahead and change the marks?' That
way, their right to license them is
unquestioned, and the old marks
still being printed without licenses
become worthless."
The University of Pittsburgh
recently lost a battle in the Third
District Court with Champion Products, which has been producing
shirts with the Pitt name and panther symbol since 1936.
In 1980, Pitt had adopted a new
rule that firms must pay the school
a licensing fee plus a 6.5 percent
royalty, but Champion refused to
pay because of its long record of using the trademark without challenge
from Pitt.
the case is now on appeal.
A number of other schools arc
facing similar problems. Bigham
Young, Virginia, and Georgia have
all recently threatened to go to
court to stop private firms from
marketing beers and drinks with
their names and initials on the cans.
None of the schools, however, has a
long record of defending its
trademarks actively.
To keep a good legal claim on the
marks, schools must have a record
of protecting the symbols, and must
be able to prove having "first internal and commercial use" of them,
explains Edith Collier of the U.S.
Trademark Association.
Some schools can't even say
where their symbols came from,
since many originally were the informal work of students or local artists, points out Roy Parcels, head
of Dixon and Parcels, the New
York design firm that created Penn
Slate's new look.
The result can be the 21 different
versions of the same mascot like the
Nlttany Lion, or other symbols that
may not be "distinctive" enough to
provide an identity to fit trademark
laws, he adds.
In trying to create a new, distinctive Nlttany Lion, for example.
Parcels discovered 125 four-year
and 37 two-year colleges around the
country are currently using some
kind of cat as a symbol.
Parcels also recently created a
new visual identity for Georgia
Southern College.
But adopting wholesale changes
and risking the wrath of traditionalists — and grammarians
(Penn State, for Instance, is now
written as PennState In the new
trademark scheme) — can be expensive.
Fisher won't say how much Penn
State spent on the new logo. He
does remember the first bid he got
from a firm was for $150,000.
"That," he recalls, "was a short
conversation."
Crossland says throwing out all
the old for a new identity "really is
not a practical route unless there's a
strong likelihood of getting tied up
in litigation" over licensing
somewhere down the road.
"They would have changed
everything in a minute," Contends
the midwestern manufacturer about
the Illinois school that recently
"blackmailed me" into paying a
licensing fee.
It may be worth it. Crossland
says officials of the highlysuccessful National Football
League licensing program estimate
"that if colleges ever got themselves
organized and together, they could
do 10 times as much as the NFL."
That would amount to some $3.5
billion a year in revenues for the nation's campuses.

Women netters fall to Amherst

ches by the score of 6-3, 6-2.
As the regular season ended,
coach Mari Warner seemed very
pleased with the performance of her
squad. "We had. a real good fall
season. I just wish we could have
rescheduled the two games that
were rained out (Binghamton and
Vassar). I think we could have won
both of them."
It was a season of ups and downs
for the Albany State women's tennis team. They went from an impressive four game string of wins to
winning only one out of the last six.
It was a season of improvement
over last year's sub .500 record and
a season of injuries, rainouts, and
the loss of number one player Deb
Lcffc.
Although the regular season is
over, coach Warner will be escorting four of her players lo the State
Championships this weekend. First
and second singles Mindy Hartstcin
and .loan Phillips will join the double duo of Lauren Isaacs and
Helene Tishlcr in the New York
Slate Division III tournament,
The lurbulnnce of this team could
only be overcome by a strong
coach. Captain .loan Phillips summed It up best. "She (coach
Warner) earned our respect quickly,
which is really hard fot a rookie
coach to do. She really knows what
she's doing." For the Dane netwomen it was a season of improvement, for the fans, it was a season
of excitement.

Rose splits with Phils;
wants to play every day
Won't accept part-time status
Philadelphia
( A P ) pete Rose took his unconditional
release by the Philadelphia Phillies with
his usual homespun philosophy, but
made it clear he intends to remain in the
majors.
"If it's the best thing Tor the Phillies
for me to hit the road, and the best thing
Tor me, then hit the road," said Rose,
42, who was dropped Wednesday after
refusing to accept the status as a parttime player.
"I don't like to play parllime," said
the player who is among (he (op five in
almost every major league offensive
category. "I've been an everyday player
for so many years ii is hard for me (o
play three days a week. I'm sure (here
are sonic teams out there who want
me."
Rose turned down the role the Phillies
offered because lie wants to break Ty
Cobb's ail-time career major league hit
:ord. He has 3,990, just 201 short of
Cobb's mark of 4,191. He needs just 10
Ip become the second player in major
league history to record 4,000 hits.
He said he had not talked with any
nihci clubs, debunking a report that he
had agreed to play for the Atlanta
Braves who have a spot in the outfield.
There also have been reports he would
return to his native Cincinnati, where he
played 1ft years for the Reds, to finish
his career.
Rose's agent, Reuven Katz, who at-
tended the news conference disclosing
Rose's unconditional release, said:
"Any rumors are false rumors. We
laven't had any conversations with
anyone. We didn't know until an hour
ago what the Phillies had in mind/
Rose added, "It's against the rules toj
talk to anybody when you're under contract."
He said he would be willing to switch!
to the American League and perhaps]
play parllime as a designated hitter and
parttimc in the field.
"It's major league baseball," he said
Phillies' President Bill Giles announced the parting of the ways. He thanked
him for his part in getting the Phillies lo
(wo World Si-i I s and one championshipj
in Ills five years,
" I would ty I admire him more than
anybody who lias ever been in the
uniform," said Giles.
Rose said his greatest memory of his
stay in Philadelphia was the 1980 championship parude down Broad Street. He
expressed regret (hat the 1983 team
didn't achieve its goal of winning the
Series. "But we came close," he said.
Rose signed a four year contract with
the Phillies in December, 1978, at an
estimated $3.3 million. He signed a one
year contract last winter, which gave the
Phillies an option to renew by Nov. 15,
1983. The contract also called for
$300,000 buy out, which Rose described
as a "nice going away present."

a row and fourth in the last five games.
Albany's record is now 4-7.
The lone goal of the game came off the
foot of Onconta's Karnail Koona, who kicked in a loose ball in front following a Red
Dragon corner kick. The goal came at the
10:13 mark of the first half.
"We can't play with any intensity," commented frustrated Albany Head Coach Bill
Schieffelin. "We keep waiting until we're
behind, and we can't put the ball into the
goal. It's very disappointing."
Despite being outplayed in the first half,
the Danes came out stronger in the second
half and had a number of good chances to tie
the score.
Midfielder Jeff Hackctt's direct free kick
from just outside the penalty area barely
hooked around the goal, and defender Mike
Miller's header off a free kick was stopped in
front. But Albany's best chance to tie the
game was probably on a play that occurred
just as time was running out. Defender Bob
Garrett was standing about 10 yards in front
of the goal with only seconds remaining when
a corner kick came right in front. He volleyed
it towards the goal, but it sailed just over the
crossbar, and the Danes had a frustrating 1-0
defeat.
Earlier in the second half, forward Tihan
Prcsbie broke in alone on goal only to be
tripped up from behind just outside the box.
The foul, while giving Albany a free kick,
probably saved a goal.
"Their guy should have been thrown out
of the game for that," Schieffelin said. "But
that wouldn't have made a difference. It's no
excuse."
Oneonta controlled the game In the first
half, outshootlng the Danes 3-0 in the opening 45 minutes. On their goal, the corner kick
hooked towards the goal as Dane netminder
Tom Merritt came out and tried to clear the
ball out. But the ball was rolling around In
front, where Koona flicked it into the upper
right hand corner for the lone goal of the
game.
The loss, combined with Albany's 2-1 loss
at Binghamton last Saturday, dropped
Albany's conference record to 2-4 and
eliminated them from qualifying for the
SUNYAC Playoffs.

younger players look up to him."
With Canfield back in the lineup, the
Danes will have [o concentrate on stopping
Norwich's star running back sophomore
Winneford Brooks, whose 125 yards average
per game ranks him fourth in the nation
among Division III schools.
In last week's loss, the Danes were unable
to stop Cortland's fullback Dave Cook, who
ran for 185 yards and two touchdowns.
Tomorrow, if the Danes are unsuccessful in
containing Brooks, the result could be the
same.
The Danes will try to force Norwich to
pass especially since there is some confusion
as to who will call the signals for the Cadets.
Speculation continues that starling junior
quarterback Tony Circlli will be benched in
favor of sophomore Randy Gallagher.
Cirelli's unimpressive statistics of 29 completions out of 75 attempts is one good reason
for the change, but no official announcement
has been made.
Meanwhile, sophomore Dane quarterback
Mllano will continue to lead the Danes offense, who hope to be able to grind out yardage as well as they did last week.
Milano, who took over as quarterback in
the Danes' third game of the season against
Brockport, has showed continual progress
each week.
"I'm definitely pleased with his improvement over the weeks as a whole," said Ford.
"He still is forcing some passes and throwing
off balance once in a while, but that's due to
inexperience. One thing that he has though,
is confidence in himself to get the job done."
The Danes will continue to try mixing up
the wishbone running attack with Milans's
short passing game, which seemed to fool
Cortland's defense last week.
The young offensive line showed marked
improvement last week, controlling the line
of scrimmage while cutting off pursuit on
outside running plays, but Ford feels their
success had something to do with their opponents.
"Norwich's defense is a lot better couched
than Cortland's," said Ford. "They're a real
good defensive ball club."

Coming into this season nobody expected
the Albany State mcrf's tennis team to be as
good as they were, except for the players
themselves.
The Danes lost four of last year's top six
players, including numbers one and three, to
graduation last spring. In addition, the team
had to play without head coach Bob Lewis
who is considered in many tennis circles one
of the best coaches on the East Coast.
Despite these losses, a quality team emerged from the prc-season and played well
enough to disspcll observers' fears of "the
end of the dynasty."
Senior Dave Ulrich took the big move up
to number one singles in stride, winning all
but one of his matches In non-tournament
play. Ulrich was also the champion of his
bracket in the SUNYAC tournament.
The other senior on this young squad was
number three singles Rob Karen, who also
had a banner season. Interim conch Jim Serballk once said, "I have never seen a player
who could make his opponent look so good
while beating him."
A number of underclassmen were heavy
contributors to the team's success.
Sophomores Tom Schmitz, Dave Grossman,
and Jay Eiscnbcrg stepped right into the
number two, four and five singles spots
respectively. Meanwhile, the number six slot
was occupied by sophomore Mike Dcrmansky until an ankle injury forced him to limit
his play. He was then replaced by junior
Mark Sanders who was possibly the most improved member of the squad.
Perhaps Ihp biggest surprise was the way in
which Jim Serbalik filled in for coacli Lewis.
Serbalik got the offer to coach the team just
two days practice began. He then le.i the
team to an 8-1 dual-meet record and capped
off the season with Albany's fifth straight
SUNYAC championship. This success was
the reason that he was named SUNYAC Tennis Coach ol the Year.
The Danes did not start off the season
especially well as they dropped their opening
day match to the Division I Army. This was
in no way a disappointing loss as far as the
Danes were concerned. Army, a team rich in
talent, began pre-scason training in July two
months before Albany got started.
The next match put the Great Danes on
track when they shut-out the Oneonta Red
Dragons 9-0.
After the Oneonta meet, the Danes hosted
the Great Dane Classic and finished second
in a tic with local rival RPI, which was the
finest finish in the Great Dane Classic in
Albany's history.
Fresh from tying RPI In the Classic the
Panes faced the Engineers in a dual meet. It
was then that Albany was able to prove their
superiority by beating RPI 6-3.
The netmen next were tested in the ECAC
tournament. This turned out to be their
toughest test of the season as they finished
seventh. This was considered a very respectable placement as four of the teams that beat
the Danes were Division I and Albany finished in front of the two Division II teams in the
25 team tournament.
Albany then traveled to Oswego where
they burled their SUNY conference rivals 8-1
in their final tune-up for the SUNYAC tournament.
The SUNYAC tournament turned out to
be a walk over for the Danes as they captured
33 out of a possible 36 points while winning
their fifth straight SUNYAC crown.
The good tennis did not end there. The
Danes, still high from their conference championship, traveled to Vermont where they
met the University of Vermont. Albany easily
defeated the Division I Vermont 6-3. Then
the Danes returned home to host another
Division I team, the University of
Mussachusscls. The Albany netmen squceked
by U. Mass 5-4.
This is the closest knit tennis team this
university has seen in quite some time. This
sentiment seems apparent by Grossman's
comment. "I would like to thank coach Serbalik and the rest of the team. I really had a
good time this year. This team Is definitely
closer than last year's team." •
Coach Lewis was very happy with his
team's showing.
"1 was very pleased at what they „ccomplishcd. 1 would like to thank Jim Serbalik, who did an outstanding job. 1 don't
think I could have left the team in better
hand."
I'F.NNI.S RACKET: Coach Serbalik will now
move from the tennis court to the swimming
pool where he coaches w o m e n ' s
diving...Coach Lewis has been making fine
progress and reports that he will be back for
his second quarter course and definitely will
run winter workouts.

The head coaches of Albany State's men's
and women's cross country teams couldn't
have more different philosophies about
Saturday's Capital District meet.
Men's coach Bob Munsey claimed that
winning the meet is not a priority. "We're
just running through this meet," said
Munsey. "This is more of a workout-type of
meet; we're really not taking it that
seriously."
Coming off a strong second place finish at
the SUNYAC championship, the men will be
facing four-time defending champion Siena,
RPI, and Union. Siena, a Division I school,
is a strong fa'vorite to repeat, based on their
victory at the LcMoync Invitational, a meet
that involved several strong schools.
Coach Munscy has never seen Siena run
this year; how good they are is a mystery to
him. The incentive to beat Siena really Isn't
there for Munscy. His game plan would be to
stick with the RPI runners. But not
everybody lucks an incentive.
Leading runner Ed McGill, who was
bothered by a cold in last week's championship meet, has two reasons for wanting to do
well. "I don't like Siena or Union," said
McGill, "so I really would like to beat
them." On a more personal level, McGill is
trying to redeem himself after a disappointing 24th place finish last week. "I'm a firm
believer in the saying, 'you're only as good as
your last race,' so I'm looking to come back
strongly," commented McGill. Last week his
cold hampered his ability to pass other runners; though still sick, McGill will be closer to
full strength this week.
RPI also presents a challenge to Albany.
"It should be an interesting battle between
RPI and ourselves," said Coach Munscy.
"They'll be very competitive with their first

them this year." Albany finished third
behind Siena and RPI last year.
Munscy wasn't too concerned about
Union. "1 don't think that they're on the
same level as we are this year,"he noted.
Union was overwhelmed by RPI earlier this
year.
Despite Munsey's indifference towards the
Capital District meet, co-captain Jim Erwin
insisted that he won't take this meet lightly.
"I want to see if we can run with Siena," said
Erwin. "The meet will be held on our home
course, which should be to our benefit." The
last few years, the meet was held at a neutral

site.
Being a Division I school gives Siena certain advantages over a school like Albany
State. Some of these advantages aren't that
ethical, according to the coach. "I'm sure
that athletic prowess isn't overlooked when
financial aid is given out at a Division I
school," said Munsey. "Regardless of what
is said, I'm sure that these schools engage in
such a fashion."
The men will be concentrating on later
meets, rather than going all out here. To
Munsey, the Capital District meet is nothing
more than a timed workout. "With all the
big meets coming up, this meet just isn't that
important to us," noted Munscy. "It comes
along at a very awkward time for us,"
In sharp contrast with Munsey's views,
women's coach Ron White has been keying
his team for this meet for some time now.
"I've been talking Capital District since
September," stated the coach. "This is the
meet that all the girls have been waiting for."
White senses the mental readiness of the
women; they know that a victory here could
spell a turnaround for their thus far winless
season.
The meet also has some extrinsic worth to
Coach White; this weekend's performance
will determine which seven runners will go on
to the postseason events. The women that
don't make the top seven will represent
Albany in their Albany Invitational.
To repeat as champions, the runners would
have to defeat their main competition, RPI.
Albany lost to RPI 24 to 34 in an earlier meet
held at Hamilton; the women will be looking
to redeem themselves here. "RPI is a very
tight running team, "commented White.
"They pack five runners within a minute;
we'll have to break that up. The girls will be
trying to position themselves with RPI's runners to do just that. The physical contact that

Beirut, Lebanon
(AP) About 300 Marine reinforcements
began their new duties in Beirut today as
rescuers dug out four more bodies from the
bombed U.S. command post, pushing the
overall American death toll to nearly 200.
Marine spokesman Maj. Robert Jordan
told reporters the new contingent of Marines
arrived at Beirut's airport from Europe on
Monday night to replace those killed and
wounded in Sunday's suicide terrorist truckbombing of the Marines' headquarters.
Rescuers prepare to lower a Marine on a stretcher down to safety
About 200 soldiers were killed in the terrorist bombing.
Rescuers searched through the rubble for a
third straight day and four bodies were pulled
out this morning, zipped into olive green
nylon hags, put on a jeep and driven away.

Lebanese government and private firms In
Beirut worked under spotlights thoughout
the night and into the morning at the
Marines' airport zone and at another truckbombed post of the French peace-keeping
force about a mile away at Beirut's scafront.
Lance Cpl. Robert Calhoun, 21, of San
Antonio, Texas, said he was told by a Marine
sentry who survived the blast that the suicide
terrorist was wearing green fatigues and smiled as he roared towards the building. The
bombing at the French post was staged in a
similar fashion.
The Marine commander in Beirut, Col.
Timothy Gcraghty, was asked at a news conference Monday whether stringent security
measures could have foiled the two attacks.
Experts react to Lebanon tragedy
By Tuny Sillier
NEWS EDITOR
The question of the U.S. marine presence
in Lebanon and what the nation should do
now in the wake of Sunday's slaughter
brought widely differing reactions from local
government and foreign policy experts.
SUNYA Political Science Department
Chairman Martin Edclman said the marines
are in Lebanon as a tool of American foreign
policy — to exercise leverage in an important
part of the world. He added that he doubts
that Congress will force the President to
remove the marines.
Abdo I. Baaklini, Director of International Development Programs at the
Graduate School of Public Arfairs and a
specialist in Middle Eastern and Lebanese affairs, said President Reagan made a very unwise decision to put the marines in Lebanon
to fulfill a political role. "The sooner we
realize our marines arc not serving any purpose there, that they arc just largets, the better off we will be," he said.
According to Edclman, the three-week-old
compromise on the War Powers Resolution
between Congress and the President, when
Congress granted Reagan 18 additional months to keep the troops in Lebanon before a
reexamination, was the most significant legal
word on the policy. "In a formal way, they'll
stay there," he said, adding that the constitutionality of the resolution is in question since
the Supreme Court this summer declared
congressional vetoes unconstitutional.
Baaklini, however, said that although he
faults Congress for abandoning its nower in
the War Powers compromise, Congress and
the public are the critical factors in the policy
decisions in the wake of the bombings.
The difference between public opinion
following the Gulf of Tonkin incident, where
President Johnson received overwhelming
support, and this tragedy is extremely important, said Baaklini. The government is still
pursuing some policies and not garnering
from the past, but the public, judging from
reactions, seems much more aware, he
asserted.
"I hope the Congress and the media will
bring some sense into this situation," said
Baaklini.
According to Baaklini, the U.S. now has
two options. In the short term, he said, the
U.S. must make clear to the Gcmaycl regime
that it cannot count on it for protection for
long. The long term solution in both
Lebanon and the Middle East as a whole, he
said, is a resolution of the Palestinian problem.
The whole root of the tragedy, said
Baaklini, can be traced to U.S. attitudes
following the Israeli invasion of 1982.
Bashir and Amin Gcmayel were never seen
as legitimate leaders by other Lebanese, lie
asserted. Rather, they were seen as leaders of
an aristocratic minority installed in power at
the point of an Israeli bayonet.
"The U.S. made Gcmayel its man," he
said, "because he does what America and
Israel wanted." Instead of pushing for a true
national reconciliation, the U.S. supported
Gcmayel and attempted to legitimize the formula of the Lebanese Constitution, which
calls for a Christian President and a Moslem
Prime Minister, with other factions

Protesters arrested during Seneca Depot rally
By Lisa Mirubellu
More than 380 people, including eight
local residents, were arrested Monday for
blocking the gates of the Seneca Army
Depot. The civil disobedience was held after
Saturday's march and rally that brought
7,500 people to the upstate New York depot
that is believed to be storing Cruise and Pershing II missiles.
The attempted blockade had little effect on
depot operations because employees used
unblockaded gales to reach work, said Depot
spokesperson Robert Zemanek.
"As far as we know, all the ones who intended to work have come in," he said. The
depot has I,(XX) civilian workers, but
Zemanek said many did not come to work
because they were offered a liberal leave
policy for today if they wished to avoid the
protest.
Tile actions were part of world-wide events
protesting the deployment of nuclear missiles
and calling for a freeze on nuclear arms. Tom
Russell said, "There was a stress on the
solidarity between U.S. and European efforts."
The highlight of the rally was Women USA
chair, Bella Abzug who delivered a powerful
speech. Drea Leanza, a local organizer for
the Women's Peace Encampment, said of
Abzug, "Her speech was the most dynamic
one of the day. She put everything in a clear
perspective."
Other speakers included author Dr. Benjamin Spock and columnist Manning
