The Albany State Football team should
win an award at the end of the season for the
"NCAA's Most Deceptive Record." Coach
Bob Ford should win an award also for keeping his sanity through it all.
Division Ill's best 2-7 team suffered
another tough-luck loss this past Saturday,
15-13, against the now 7-2 Buffalo University
Bulls, in a game marred by freezing rain and
lousy weather conditions al wet Rotary Field
in Buffalo.
Minus quarterback Mike Milano, who
pulled a muscle in his calf and was replaced
by sub quarterback Rich Jones, the Danes
staged a late second half rally only to come
up short once again, which has been the story
of their season.
Bulls Ail-American quarterback Marty
Barett, although finishing with statistics considered outstanding for most quarterbacks,
didn't play up lo his nationwide press
publicity, especially in the second half, lie
finished completing 24 of 39 passes — 16 ol
them In the first half — for 263 yards. His
two touchdown passes combined with a Jose
Lamblet 27-yard field goal was all Buffalo
needed, but Ihey slill had to survive a major
scare imposed by (he Danes in the final
minutes,
"It was the kind of ending (hat makes you
grow old quick," said Bulls coach Bill Dando. "I have a lot of respect for Albany for
not quitting. They're no 2-7 team, that's for
sure."
What occurcd at the close of the game was
Coach Dando, confident that the game was
in the bag, put in his second unit including
the substitution of Barett for second strinf
quarterback Ken Hyer with two minutes to
play in the game and the Bulls up 15-6.
On Hyer's second play from scrimmage,
his handoff was fumbled by reserve running
back Fred Mueller and senior Dane quarterback Bobby Jojo recovered at the Albany 47.
From there it was the Jones to Pete
McGrath show. First Jones, who completed
12 of 22 in less than two and a half quarters
of action, found McGrath deep for 33 yards.
One play later the duo connected again as
Albany
Jones hit McGrath cutting across the middle
of the end zone with 1:19 to play. Following
Dave Lincoln's extra point the Danes were
within a field goal, 15-13.
It was all up to Lincoln's onside kick that
would determine Albany's fate. In a surprise
move to try to catch the Bulls' return team
off guard, the Danes broke out of the huddle
and Lincoln squibbed the ball immediately,
without letting the Albany special team line
up in standard position.
The unexpected move seemed to surprise'
the Bulls as the Danes sprinted downfield 10
yards to apparently recover the ball in a mad
scramble. However, the referees said the
Danes had initially touched the ball before it
traveled the required 10 yards, ruling the ball
dead at the point where it was touched and
giving the Bulls possession and the ballgame.
The referrees' decision prompted an
uproar from the Danes' sidelines and even
mild-mannered Ford went onto the field to
discuss the ruling.
The Danes contended thai the ball first
touched a Buffalo player and that was the
consensus in both teams' lockerrooms afterwards.
"I was right there and the hall took a bad
hop and hit a Bull player in Ihc knee," said
wide receiver Bob Brlen, who was inserted on
the special team coverage on the play.
Senior linebacker Eddie Eastman agreed.
"I thought it was a bad call loo," said the
defensive co-captain, who led the team on the
day with 15 tackles while his interception sel
up a Dane touchdown. "But it's not an easy
call to make for the referees when you've got
11 guys in the middle of the field going for
the ball and you have to rule who touched it
first."
Coach Ford, who seldom comes out in
print knocking a referee's call even thought
the refs made a mistake. "I felt Buffalo
touched the ball first and so do our players,
but what are we going to do? We can't drive
back to Buffalo and replay the game."
A few players in the Buffalo lockerroom
admitted it was a lousy call, "It was a
legitimate Albany recovery," said defensive
back Andy Hurley.
Though the ending was very dramatic, the
rest of the contest was humdrum as both

The Albany State women's volleyball team easily won the
Purple and Gold Classic tournament they hosted this past
Saturday in University Gym. The Danes came out on top of
their pool defeating Siena 15-7, 15-1, and Russel Sage 15-0,
15-0, and then went on to dominate play during their 15-2,
15-3 wins over the University of Vermont in the semifinals.
Albany faced Siena again in the finals, which they won
15-7, 15-4
The Danes' biggest problem in the tourney was the consistent lack of quality opponents for them to test their skills
against. Albany began the pool play against Siena and
allowed the Indians seven points in the first game. Said one
spectator of the Albany squad, "They start out slowly and
build, build, build." A warmed-up Dane team showed
their strength in the second game as Ihey held Siena to a
single point and went on to shutout a helpless Russell Sage
squad in two straight games.

The Danes' kept that intensity going in the semifinal
round of play where they took two games from the University of Vermont 15-2 and 15-3. Albany's play in both games
was marked by the smooth consistency that comes from
good teamwork, good individual decisions, and sheer
talent. The Danes were able to capitalize on Vermont's
mistakes while committing few errors of their own thereby
keeping the pressure on their opponents.
All the Dane spikers played well and worked well
together point after point creating the illusion of effortless
domination in the semis. Senior Liz Rosentel put down a
number of masterful spikes and displayed a mature sense of
the gome In all its details. Sophomore Rhonda Rodgers also
played particularly well. Her strong, graceful serve and in-
telligent spiking helped the Danes into the finals.
Facing Siena in the finals did not bring out the best in the
clearly superior Dane ballclub. The first game started out
very slow for Albany as the team played somewhat inconsistently allowing the game to go back and forth through
the first eight points. Play seemed to center on the same
players instead of involving all of the team's excellent
players. Rodgers had a little trouble with netting and in
general, the team took a little while to get back to form
Towards the end of the first game, things came together
for Albany. Senior Rebecca Maggs made a couple of nice
plays and the team was much tighter in terms of short setspike combinations and defensive net play. The game winner was un unstoppable spike by freshman Patty Munhall
who had hung back for most of the contest which the
Danes took, 15-7.
That play seemed to get Munhall going in the second
game where she played good, aggressive ball and laid spikes
down all over Siena's side of the court including a fabulous
left-hander loward game's end. Once again warmed up and
ready lo play, Albany looked much belter in the second
game both defensively and offensively. Siena subbed constantly throughout both games, but could do nothing about
the big Dane attack and after n time, Albany turned a
foregone conclusion inlo reality, winning the second game
of the finals 15-4.

Trudeau urges limits
Montreal
(AP) Concerned with the pace of "conflict
and confrontation," Prime Minister Pierre
Trudeau has called for a five-power conference of nuclear states within the next year
to negotiate global limits on nuclear
weapons.
The proposal is one of several Trudeau
made to European heads of state during his
six-nation peace mission last week and which
he made public at a Liberal party fundraislng
luncheon Sunday.
"The choice we face is clear and present,"
Trudeau told party faithfuls at the
$l50-a-platc affair. "We can without effort
abandon our fate to the mindless drift
toward nuclear war. Or we can gather our
strength ... lo turn aside the forces bearing
down on us."

Dr. Enrique Baloyra
Outlined four steps necessary to solve the L'l Salvadoran crisis
slitute at the University of North Carolina
and advisor to the National Commission on
Central America (Kissinger Commission),
Baloyra stated clearly "I don'l work for Kissinger." He said later thai he expects "very little" from the commission.
He suggested Ihc analogy that U.S. Involvement only goes so far as lo "set a table"
for an El Salvadoran coalition, with one rule
— that no one can cat with his hands. "They
can serve whatever they want, and The U.S.
would only have to enforce that one rule" to
control the area, Baloyra explained.
Baloyra's severity with the crowd during the
question period mirrored the seriousness with
which he addressed his topic, asking that Ihc
audience refrain from applause even when
cheering his viewpoint. While explaining
". . .some power relations have to be changed and I don't know what Reagan has in his
head. . .1 don't even know if he can name all
the countries in that area," Baloyra seemed
surprised to see the audience wus amused
about the situation,
"I realize Ihc scenario is idealistic," lie said
of his plan lor a coalition 10 include both lell
and right-wingers. According to Baloyra, to
begin with, the U.S. would have lo hold back
the right 10 assure Ihul the left be allowed lo
participate. "I realize what I'm suggesting is
not around the corner," he added.
In response lo a question of the possibility
of the United Nations or some other power
stepping In Insleud of the U.S., Baloyra said,
"The U.S. has ihc idea thai everything lltal
happens in the world is because of something
we've dune or neglected to do." He added
that Ihis is not Ihc ease in El Salvador, bill
thai the U.S. is going 10 be involved unywuy.
Many of ihc oilier 16 events of ihc teach-in
focused on U.S. policy in Central America
and [he U.S. invasion of Grenada. Also, during the course of the programs parallels were
frequently drawn to Ihc Vietnam War and
he conlemporary Lebanon situation,
Not all of the programs drew the number
of participants that organizers from the
event's sponsor, the Puerto Rican In-
dependence Solidarity Alliance, expected.
PRISA member Pepc Rossy said, "It was
good to have many different people at each
event," although he said he was disappointed
that "verbal support promised from some
faculty and student groups did not
materialize."
A forum on Women and the War in Central America was given Thursday afternoon.
Yanira Chacon, spokesperson for the
Salvadoran Women's Association, explained
women's role in the revolution there. Willi
women comprising 60 percent of the population, Chacon said, it is not surprising thai
they joined the revolution. "II Is not
necessarily jusl combat thai makes a revolution," she said, although she assured the
group that some women have taken up arms.
Dean of Undergraduate Studies Helen
Dcsfosscs also spoke at Ihc forum, discussing
the "gender gap" between women's and
men's opinions on peace issues. "Women
have u low tolerance for swaggering, Ihc need
to exhibit a very macho attilude, and are
Tiore concerned with prolcction for the
home," she said. She pointed out that these
Jiscrepnncics arc even grenter in developing
countries.
However, Dcsfosscs said, "us you can sec
by Ihc turnout loduy, many women do not
extend the feelings ihey have to the national
and international levels."
Chacon said, "sometimes I understand the
organizations of women in the U.S.A., but
sometimes I can't understand how ihey can
spend lime deciding whnl lo support or nol
support while there arc mountains of women
and children dying in my country."
Student apathy was also questioned by
leach-in participants. Ricardo Lopez Torrijos, a graduate student from Spain and
member of the Central American Peace
Alliance, said thut he was surprised to find
Ihc media coverage in the U.S. so lacking in
criticism. "It's appalling that the reader isn't
critical and il's even more appall! thought the
student body would be a more important
force here, but Ihey let themeselves be led
around like everybody else," Torrijos said.D
Conference discusses politics, role of women
By Robert Lilt
and Jennifer Pruden
The presidential conference of Feminism in the Eighties
was held al SUNYA Saturday. The purpose of the conference, according to a press •release, was "lo question"
where feminism is going in Ihc next decade and reaffirm
where feminism came from.
The conference had a large, vocal turnout. The day was
composed of various discussion workshops, with Ihc structured program being highlighted by outspoken aclivist and
author Sonia Johnson, and acclaimed feminist poet Judy
Gruhn. Adrian Schrcek, a SUNYA student said, "The conference held a positive atmosphere in which women were
able lo reaffirm their feminism."
The conference was opened by Johnson, who hopes to be
the Citizen Parly's presidential candidate. Her keynote address was described by one woman as being "spiritually
uplifting." Johnson's speech urged women to never slop
believing their "spirituality as women," while Irying to effect change.
She spoke in Ihc rhetoric of Martin Luther King Jr.;
about the importance of having a dream. "Lei us remove
our energy from Ihc patriarchy, let us put our energy inlo
dreams. We arc going lo build a new world from our visions right in the wreckage of Ihc old one. That's nonputriurchial stuff." Johnson spoke of ihc need to dream
because she felt thai the archetype of violence in society is
violence against women. "If we can't stop incest and rape
in one city, we can't ever stop war," she claimed.
Johnson noted that it Isn't enough just to try and change
individual aspects of society, but thai women must begin to
create a whole new society.
In discussing her politieal views, Johnson said, "Third
parly candidates arc extremely valuable for American
politics." She poinlcd oul that many third parly ideas
throughout American history, such as Social Security and
child labor laws, have become accepted parts of society.
Her politics arc feminist politics, Johnson claimed. She
explained that ibis means a solid commitment to peace, as
well as end lo the oppression of women and other discmpowcred groups. "This can only be done," she said, "by
radically changing values and attitudes."
Johnson said she believes the model upon which all
violence in society is fashioned exisls nrchetypicnlly in
violence againsl women. This violence is in ihc form of battering and rape, she noted.
In 1978, Johnson went to the Washington Post with
documentation of Mormon activity againsl the Equal
Rights Amendment. Her excommunication trial was called
nol long after that, and was held without her presence, she
claimed. On Dec. 5, 1979, Johnson was excommunicated,
and she stated this started her political career.
"The excommunication was the best thing thai ever happened lo me. Il forced me lo make a break thai might have
liiken a half a dozen years to do on my own," Johnson
said. She has since devoted herself lo public speaking, the
ERA, and her presidential plullbrm since her excommunication.
After Johnson's speech u panel addressed Ihc relationship between feminism of the I970's and feminism of the
I980's. The panel met 10 bring Ihc two generations of
feminists into perspective and to show that feminism is nol
dying in the I980's. The discussion was inspired by a New
York Times article of Oct. 7, 1982 tilled "Voices from a
past feminist generation."
"The panel was designed to be one place during the day
JOAN E. BIREN
Activist Sonia Johnson
Women must begin to create a whole new society.
where the dialogue between the two generations would be
Ihc primary focus," said Judith Fetlcrly, SUNYA professor and a panel member.
Representing the feminists of the I970's were Cora
Watkins, noted activist and speaker; Linda Nicholson,
SUNYA professor; and Fellcrly. SUNYA student Karen
Gllnsky and Truey Morgan represented Ihc feminists of the
1980's.
Each speaker addressed how ihey came inlo feminism,
what it nieani in their lives, and lite differing political
climates of Ihc lasl two decades.
Morgan staled that Ihc "70's feminists have taught us
how to love women and how to value women. The 70's
feminists have opened our eyes 10 each other." She said
later the New York Times article was "a good example of
media manipulation. Feminism is not starling over from
nothing in the 1980's, nor is il losing force."
Felterly, speaking for the feminists of the 1970's said,
"Feminism has allowed me lo muke sense oul of my life."
She also spoke of her personal concern of carrying
feminism on to the next generation.
Watkins and Islcy addressed the question of the Black
movement and Ihc women's relations between the movement over Ihc last two decades. The speakers agreed thai
the only real difference between feminism of Ihc 1970's and
feminism of the I980's was the existence of a political and
economic environment now that might be more conducive
to the advancing women's movement more readily than in
the past. The conference was then convened to the individual workshops.
During the lunch break between workshop sessions,
Dana Cunningham, a member of the Women's Committee
for Ihc National Black Organizer's Conference, addressed
the conference. She spoke on "Why women should put
their energy inlo supporting Jesse Jackson for president."
A second and third workshop session convened after the
lunchtimc address.
The day ended with a poetry reading by Judy Grahn, the
author of eight books, including, "Edward the Dyke and
Other Poems," "The Common Women Poems," "She
Who," and "The Queen of Wands," from which she read.
She hns also has recorded an album of her poetry with Pat
Parker. She said Hint she draws many of her ideas for her
poetry from different cultural mythologies, such as Native
American and Chinese. The major themes of the poems she
read dealt with a female cicatrix, rather than a male
creator. As one women said, her reading "ended the day on
n powerfully spiritual nole "

During (heir regular meeiing,
Central Council passed a resolution
by unanimous consent establishing
a date for Ihe referendum on the

issue debalcd al Wednesday's
meeting was whether the graduate

charged such a fee.
The referendum will be held on
Monday, December 5 and Tuesday,
December 6.
A proposal was made al last

Maureen Ryan, chair of the committee on Graduate and Part-lime
Fees to charge the activity fee lo
graduate and parl-llmc siudenls.
She added lhal in order to implement the fee Ihe services of Student
In an unusual meeting Wednesday night. Central Council passed
out crayons, arranged themselves in
alphabetical order and created a
game using alphabet cards 10
discuss ideas and projects for Council lo work on in the coming year.
The two-hour session, which
preceded Council's regular meciing,
was organized by Council leaders as
a brainstorming session.
The purpose of the program,
which has been held in previous
years, was to bring "new ideas, new

Hclbock.
"This year's Council has not

Helbock explained.
Al the beginning of the meeting,

their names and something about
themselves lhal most people

Early in llie meeting a box o'

vening vigil protests Cruickshank sentencing
OH^S^ffS&fS
AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC
WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 16th AT 12 NOON
IN THE CAMPUS CENTER R J Q M "n
Protestors al Crulckshank vigil
There was a total disregard lo the Incest
BOB LUCKEVUPS
question.
About 150 people gathered at the steps of
the state capital in a candlelight vigil Friday
night to protest the sentencing of Dawn
Cruickshank. Cruickshank, who claims she
was raped by her father, was sentenced last
. Wednesday lo two and a half to seven years
In jail following her October 6 consilium of
manslaughter.
She shot her father — wealthy Clifton
Park real estate developer George Alan
Cruickshank — a year ago in Ihe garage of
his home.
Reactions (0 her conviction were those of
outrage. Sister Rita Curr of Arbor Mouse, In
Albany, maintained that "someone didn'l
hear her. There was a total disregard to the
incesl question."
Cruickshank, 18, was sent 10 prison after
her .sentencing Wednesday, bin was released
on $75,000 bond early Friday morning pending appeal, Saratoga County Assistant
District Attorney Frank Williams said, " T h e
D.A.'s office Is opposed 10 her release on bail
... il will be some lime before Ihe paperwork
is prepared for Ihe appeal lo begin."
Cruickshank killed her father November
15, 1982 when he arrived at their Clifton
Park home for his weekly visit with her. He
and his wife were in Ihe process of divorce.
According lo The Knickerbocker
News,
Cruickshank called the police and said, "1
just killed my father ... I can't stand il
anymore. He did this to me every Monday
night." What he did, Cruickshank told the
jury al her murder trial, was rape and sexually abuse her over a two year period beginning
when she was 15.
Saratoga County Judge Thomas
Moynihan restricted such testimony bearing
upon the sexual abuse issue, according to the
Cruickshank defense attorneys. The reason
for this, according to Saratoga County D.A.
David Wait was that Cruickshank only
remembered details when given sodium
amytal, a truth scrum. Moynihan and Wait
had noted that such testimony might be inaccurate.
" T h e criminal justice system is one in
which men protect other m e n , " contends
Tracy Morgan,onc of the vigil's organizers.
She claimed lhal Ihe court's action supports
this .statement. She noted lhal, "Women and
children's testimony in dealing with rape, incest, and child sexual abuse are not valid and
not taken into consideration. In this case, It
wasn't taken into consideration. Why didn't
the judge allow her testimony?"
Beth Sulcr, co-chair of Ihe Feminist
Alliance added, "this is only one example. In
Denver, Colorado this summer a man
pumped five bullets into his wife's head, killing her. He received 2 years of vveeknighls
and weekends in jail."
Wail could nol be reached for comment on
Ihe vigil.
Frustration was also echoed by peers of
Cruickshank who attended the vigil. Katie
llrenda, of Albany, who attended llie same
highschool as Cruickshank summarized the
reaction of the school. "Everyone was surprised. We were nol aware thai her father did
tliis. She was very quiet. I think the conviction was wrong because il was self-defense.
Why else would she kill h i m ? "
The jury in the case apparently did nol
find self-defense lo be Ihe motive, One juror,
according lo The Knickerbocker News, "called her account of ihe rapes 'fabricated,'"

Nuclear freeze is the subject of debate at CSR
By Jerry Cunipinne
ASSociAm srns u>iion
The pros and cons of a nuclear freeze was
the subject of a debate al the College of Saint
Rose last Wednesday afternoon. Speakers at
Ihe debate were Colonel Ignatius Ciennaei,
lawyer Wayne Jaqulth and Director of the
Anns Race and Nuclear Weapons research
project for the Institute of Policy Studies Dr.
William Arkin.
Ciennaei, director of Ihe Air Force Reserve
Officer's Training Corps program al RPI, explained that he was in attendance of his own
free will and thai his opinions might nol coincide with Ihose of the Air Force. Jaqulth,
author of 77te MX Missile Debate, is a
member of the Lawyers Alliance for Nuclear
Arms Control (LANAC), an activist group
located in Boston who co-sponsored the
event.
The question that Gcnnaci posed at the
outset was "how do we achieve a meaningful
nuclear freeze?" According to Gcnnaci, a
freeze can occur only after a balance of
weapons has been achieved. Jaquith explained that "we need a nuclear weapons freeze
and we need il now" explaining that the arms
race has gone on too long.
Gcnnaci noled that today the United States
is at a numerical disadvantage with the Soviet
Union in all categories of nuclear weapons.
"During the period of detente the USSR introduced many new weapons" he said, continuing, "the US did not introduce a n y . " Jaquith admitted lhat " t h e USSR has made
great strides in Iheir nuclear weapons but
claimed that Ihe US did lead in early phases"
of the nuclear age.
Gennaci claimed lhat "since 1945, there
have been many periods when Ihe US would
have accepted a nuclear freeze but our adversaries continued to try to overtake us in
nuclear a r m s . " Gennaci slated that there is
now at least a 3:1 ratio between the USSR
and the US in nuclear weapons. Jaquith said
he feels lhal "we cannot play the numbers
game anymore." He added that the United
Stales has enough weapons to destroy the
Soviet Union and the worl^ several times
over, explaining lhat Ihe US has destructive
power equal to one million times thai of the
bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Jaquith claimed lhat " a freeze is a call to
he hall of lite arms race in the simplest
form." However, according lo the colonel,
" a freeze would be dangerously irresponsible. It would perpetuate Ihe arms imbalance
and would suggest that we are unwilling to
meet Ihe challenge.
"The only language the Russians understand is force. Il is only Ihe force of threat we
can rely u p o n , " added Gennaci. Jaquith
claimed that it doesn't matter how many
nuclear arms the US has. "Il won't slop the
Soviets," he said.
One solution offcrrcd by Gennaci was Ihe
build-down, in which two or three older
weapons are dismantled for every new one
deployed. " I f we have climbed Ihe ladder of
nuclear expansion, why not descend Ihe ladd e r ? " Gennaci asked.
According lo Jaquith, a build-down is nol
the answer. Gennaci stated lhat the builddown still allows for Ihe production of Ihe
MX, Cruise and Pershing II missies which,
besides endangering Soviet security, also endangers Ihe United Stales. Jaquith claimed
that, in the event of a strike by Pershing II
missies, Ihe Soviet Union would have to
counter-strike upon warning by the US,
because the missiles travel loo fast to be intercepted. "Whose security is al slake if they
have to deploy on warning?" he asked.
Jaquith staled thai there are enough
nuclear weapons already. Gcnnaci asked,
"What is enough? It's not what it takes to
kill every man, woman and child on this
earth," he said. " I t is enough to assure that
not a single one will be used," he added.
Arkin, who good-naturedly kidded both
Gcnnaci and Jaquith, disagreed with both
speakers and commented lhat both speakers
seemed preoccupied with the number of
weapons. According to Arkin, " t h e numbers
don't matter. What matters is the perception
of security." He indicated that the Reagan
Administration is doing better than the
Carter Administration with (he same number
of weapons.
Arkin said he feels that " i n trying to scare
Ihe Soviet Union, they (the government) have
scared us and Europe." Gennaci disagreed
on that point, claiming that "despite the
political controversies, our allies have endorsed their development.
"The Soviet Union is not getting ready to.
strike the U.S. and vice-versa," said Arkin,
who added lhat in 38 years the U.S. and
U.S.S.R. have not even met in facc-to-face
confrontation. However, he warned, "when
It does happen, it will be a nuclear conflict."
Arkin explained that the objective of arms
control should be nuclear disarmament. " W e
could have a freeze tomorrow and still have a
nuclear w a r , " he said. Arkin said that a
freeze could slow the arms race between the
U.S. and the U.S.S.R., but wondered about
British, French and Chinese systems."We
have to Ihink about a comprehensive global
arms policy," he said.
Arkin claimed lhal a build-down "is not
worse or better than a freeze." He added lhat
"what is most important is for the U.S.S.R.
and the U.S. to sil down al 11 (able with the
intention of slopping ihe arms race."
At one point in the evening, Gennaci
pointed out that "we as democratic citizens
have the right lo voice our opinion, but not
10 Interfere in Ihose officials who negotiate
111- best for the U . S . " Arkin contested this
attitude, saying that " t h e public rules this
country." This brought loud applause from
Ihe crowded auditorium.
" W e are supposed lo have a s a y , " he said,
adding lhal "if our interference is so sirong
lhal policies get changed and the government
doesn't like il, so bo it."
Arkin concluded by asking how to achieve
disarmament if the U.S. fears the Soviet
Union. "You gel il through measures which
create security," he concluded.
The debate, co-sponsored by LANAC and
the CSR chapter of United Campuses lo Prevent Nuclear War, concluded a day of events,
including films and public discussions, aimed
at raising the consciousness of the CSR community lo nuclear weapons.

Students organize to protest
against Pine Hills Taxi driver
By Fran Silverman
STAFF WRITER
Approximately 60 students held a candlelight vigil Saturday night in from of Ihe Pine
Hills Taxi Inc. in response to Feminist Alliance posters saying that a SUNYA student
had been raped by a Pine Hills Taxi driver on Oct. 27.
Colonic police Lieutenant Donald Fialka confirmed that a female student had Filed a
complaint on Oct. 27 but "whether it was legitimate or not is unknown because the
complaint was withdrawn," later that day.
According to Beth Suter, co-chair of the Feminist Alliance, the vigil organized after
Colonie Police and SUNYA public safety director John Henighan confirmed rumors of
a rape.
John Henighan was unavailable for comment. .
Fialka couldn't release any further information on the incident becase he said, the
withdrawal makes the case inactive.
Suter said she had never spoken to the woman who had reported being raped, and
had no specific information on the incident such as the woman's name or where the rape
allegedly occurred. She further noted that'she did not know if the woman was aware of
the vigil or if she had attended. She said she did not know why the woman had
withdrawn the charge. However, Suter asserted, " I t is not important that the woman
didn't press charges. That is not the issue. A SUNYA woman said she was raped by a
Pine Hills cab driver and we believe h e r . "
During Ihe rally the crowd chanted songs and carried anti-Pine Hills Taxi signs. They
called for the boycott of Pine Hills cabs.
Responding to this, Vice-President of Pine Hills Taxi, Elliot Fienman said " I t is a
false charge. The- Albany Rape Crisis Center and Colonie Police,said no rape occurred.
The cab driver wasn't fired because there is no evidence of the rape."
Fienman said in a phone interview that if there was some evidence, action would be
taken against the driver. He added that if the incident happened, the woman should
come forward.

Musician honored
Joel Chadabc, professor of music at
SUNYA, is the recipient of a prestigious1
award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP)
for the ninth consecutive year.
ASCAP is the world's largest performing
arts society, offering financial encouragement and recognition lo members for their
role in American music. The awards program, begun In 1960, recognizes unique
writers whose compositions may not be sufficiently awarded through normal royalties.
The recipients represent all types of contemporary music composition.
According to Hal David, president of
ASCAP. Chadabc's award reflects "a continuing commitment lo assist and encourage writers of serious music."
Chudabe is especially well-known for the
electronically produced sounds known as
"new music" or "computer music."
Workshops begin
Off-campus students could save as much
as 30 percent on their heating bills with the
help of energy workshops recently initiated
by the New York Public Interest Research
Group (NYPIRG), according lo NYPIRG
officials.
Simple energy savers have been designed
lo substantially aid in reducing costs this

workshops, held on Wednesday, Thursday

a.m. and 2 p.m.
In an attempt to learn off campus
students' energy practices, an energy survey
was given to approximately 100 off-campus
students. NYPIRG found that the average
heating bill per month was $55 per person.
Given that the average temperature in each
apartment was 64 degrees during the day
and 61 degrees at night, the $55 a month
was not a bad figure, according to Rottman. According lo NYPIRG Project Coordinator Paul Herrick, 24 out of 50 students
do not turn down their heat at night, a fact
which also made the $55 a month heating
figure reasonable.
One measure lo cut down monthly
heating costs even more is lo seal up drafty
spaces by using plastic sheeting. Only 11
students said Ihey did this, while 44 said
Ihcy did not. Weathcrizing loose-fitting
doors, which lend lo lose heat through
cracks around the edges, is another energysaver.

Prof receives award
William N. Fenion, who gained Interna' lional recognition for his extensive research
into the Iriquois Indians in New York Stale,
has been named a recipient of the 1983
Distinguished Service Award by the
American Anthropological Association.
Fenton, distinguished professor of unthropology emeritus at SUNYA, won the
award for his "contribution lo ethnology,
clhnohislory, museum work and anthropology generally," said the American
Anthropological Associaiion. The award
will be presented at the Association's annual meeting in Chicago November 19.
.' Fenton, a member of the association
'since'1934, received his bachelor's degree
i from Dartmouth College and a doctorate
, from Yale University. He joined the
SUNYA faculty in 1969, after serving as
. assistant commissioner of the New York
i State Museum and Science Service from
1954-1968.
A specialist in ethnology and
•cthnohistory, Fenton founded the Conference on Iriquois Research and studied
other American Indian tribes. He was one
. of the first anthropologists to apply anthropological knowledge to solving practical problems in Indian affairs. In 1975, he
'so went to New Zcalandto research the
Maori culture there.
Fenton retired from the university In 1978
and resides in Slingerlands.

Anorexia Nervosa, according lo Gail W. George, M.A.,
, is an eating disorder occurring almost exclusively in white
females between the ages of 12-25 in middle- and upperclass families. In an article in the March 1982 issue of The
Runner, Shcrryl Henry, Jr. described anorexia as "a
I dangerous psychiactric disorder in which people, the majority of whom arc women, start dieting and don't slop un'til they arc dead."
i George Is a local psychotherapist whose practice deals exclusively with anorectics and bulemics. Bulcmla is another
' eating disorder, affecting people of the same demographic
'group, but which is characterized by repeated eating binges
, followed by self-induced purging. According to Jane E.
, Brody in the March 30 New York Times, "victims may consume up to 53,000 calorics in an hour or two, then induce
vomiting and repeat the behavior as often
as four limes a day. Others take laxatives
— as many as 300 a week — lo prevent
their bodies from retaining the enormous
amounts of food they consume,'
George will be the principle speaker at an informal
presentation on anorexia and bulemia, sponsored by Middle Earth in cooperation with Feminist Alliance and Student Association, Wednesday, November 16 from 7-10
p.m. In LC23.
According to George, the anorectic female usually has an
attractive figure before she begins dieting. She is typically
very bright, and does well in school. George said, "prior to
dieting, this particular child was considered 'the perfect
child. . .always helpful, hud lots of friends, easy to get
along with — certainly a child we never expected to look
like this!' The dieting child eventually looks so emaciated
that the most common description is 'she looks like an inmate of a concentration camp.'"
This willful starvation starts at puberty, when the female
figure begins to "fill out," according lo George. Through
fasting, the anorexic child halts this development. She experiences amenorrhea, which is cessation of the menstrual
cycle. Becoming skeletal, she refuses to cat despite
desperate urgings from family and friends.
Other symptoms, said George, include:
—a weight loss of at least 25 percent of original body
weight,
—periods of hyperactivity and unrelenting exercise,
—self-induced vomiting or excessive use of laxatives,
—a distorted body image (i.e., they actually feel fat
despite their emaciation),
—a preoccupation with food, such as excessive cooking
or fad diets,
—a morbid fear of obesity,
—a change from a very obedient child to one who Is
openly rebellious, and

perience.
A 5-15 percent mortality rate from starvation among
anorexics is a generally accepted figure. Pop music star
Karen Carpenter was one such fatal victim of anorexia nervosa. According to People magazine, "an autopsy revealed
no immediate explanation for her heart failure. But after a
long bout with anorexia, said Dr. Joel Yager of U.C.L.A.'s
Ealing Disorder Clinic, 'the most common cause of death is
low scrum potassium, which can cause an irregularity in the
heartbeat.'"
There are many theories as to the cause of anorexia.
George staled that "she has found a way to break out of
her earlier 'perfect, doll-like child' image, where she never
disagreed or created any trouble, always doing what others
wanted of her. For years now she has had awesome control
of herself. She has seemingly defied nature's most basic
function — seeking food when hungry. She has attained
mastery of her cravings for food, comfort, intimacy. She is
unique. She feels special.

Morgan explained further
reasons Ihe rally was held. "We
fear thai Ihe ('rulckshank case will
set a precedent in thai all victims
of violence and sexual assault will
have no alternatives al all to cope
with their abuse. The conn's
reluctance to give credence lo
Dawn's testimony shows everyone
(hat violence against women is lo
be conduncd, and if a victim, like
Dawn, fights back, she will get
punished for being a victim of her
father's sexual abuse. Despite
this, she will always bear Ihe
psychological effects of incest."
According lo Morgan, Ihe
Cruickshank family knew about
the vigil and were pleased by it.
She also attributed the "success"
of the rillly to all the women who
atlended.
The vigil was organized by
SUNYA students Jennifer Prudcn
and Tracy Morgan and lasted over
one hour, The mostly female
crowd listened lo poetry readings,
sang hymns of solidarity for
Cruickshank and called for her acquittal.

Another widely supported theory suggests that women
become anorexic through social emphasis on sllmncss and
the value placed on the "Ideal" female figure. Judy Miller
of Feminist Alliance agrees with this theory. "There is a
standurd of beauty for women in society. Women see being
thin us an indirect access to power through Ihe approval of
men In power positions," she said.
Dr. Janet Hood, Director of the Student Health Services,
said she is baffled as lo what causes anorexia or bulemia.
She said that the infirmary is currently working "with
about a half dozen anorectic patients. They are reported by
roommates, friends, R.A.'s. They never come in by
themselves."
Bulemia, which nearly always starts with a stringent diet
to lose weight, is now epidemic on college campuses, accor-
. ding to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and
Associated Disorders.
Dr. Craig Johnson, director of an eating disorder program at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, estimates that
up to 20 percent of the The crilcria, as outlined by Patricia
A, Newman and Patricia A. Halverson in their book
Anorexia and Bulemia: A Handbook for Counselors and
Therapists, includes:
—recurrent episodes of binge eating,
—consumption of high-caloric food during a binge,
—Inconspicuous eating during a binge,
—termination of binges by abdominal pain, sleep, or
self-induced vomiting,
—repeated attempts to lose weight through vomiting or
use of diuretics, and
—frequent weight fluctuations (greater than ten pounds)
due to alternating binges and fasts.
The most frequent age of onset for bulemia is IS years,
when significant life decisions and transitions are taking
place. Bulemia is also brought on by feelings of low selfesteem, lack of coping skills in stressful situations, and like
anorexia, by social obsession with sllmncss and dieting.
The key lo effective treatment of both anorexia and
bulemia lies in early detection, followed Immediately by
professional attention. If the pattern of fasting is not
changed early, the victim of an eating disorder may continue her life-threatening starvation behavior throughout
her life.
After a complete physical has been performed, a
diagnosed anorectic or bulcmic may need lo be hospitalized
in order to develop a safe, life-sustaining weight. According
to George, only then can psychotherapy be effective.
"My own treatment approach is through individual sessions combined with frequent family sessions, based on a
time limited, goal-oricnlcd contract drawn up by the
anorectic, her family and myself after the Initial session.
The sessions are experimental, with assigned tasks between
meetings," said George.
"Most Important," she stressed, "is that the therapist be
right for the particular anorectic and her family."

Hlzzoner tackles the subject of the flamboyant politician effectively, Compared to
Ed Koch. LaGuardla was a no-nonsense,
garrulous trendsetter on the liberal side of the
political pendulum. Elected In 1933. he remained mayor until the end of WW II. and
served as a congressman prior lo his mayoral
term. " I am nicknamed 'little flower' "(a
translation of Florello from Italian Into

He was the son of an Italian Jewish
woman from Trieste and "a lapsed Catholic
from Foggla" who came to this country Iwo ,
months before he was born Because of this
diverse ancestry, he was able lo speak
several languages, which aided him In getting elected. A great story-teller In the play,
he explains to us an Incident In which he was
running against an upper-class Jewish
lawyer. His opponent announced that
LaGuardla was an anti-Semite. Upon hearing this, LaGuardla challenged the lawyer lo
a debate In Yiddish. Since his opponent
could not speak Yiddish, he did not show
up, and LaGuardla won the Jewish vole and
the election. Anecdotes like this weave their
way In and out of the fabric of Hlzzoner.
This brings in one of the problems which
plagues one-character plays. They rely solely
on speech and have little or no action at all.
After a while, It could gel tiresome to listen lo

has no problem In this respect; Tony LoBlanco plays the mayor with a natural ease,
displaying Ihe colorful wll of his character.
Also, LoBlaco acquires Ihe mannerisms and
gestures of his characler quite credibly.
However Hlzzoner does fall short, since
some of the dialogue is drippy and corny.
For example, playwright Shyre has LaGuardla saying things like, "now, you children,

of Peace, has Just been released. It
contains that sweet pop sound that
I McCartney has been cultivating since 1976's
Wings at the Speed of Sound.
Corel/ Levitan
The album was recorded with essentially
the same musicians who played on McCartney's highly successful Tug of War album last
year. Contributors to both albums Include
ex-Wing Denny Lane, Stanley Clarke, Dave
Mattacks and Rlngo Starr. Michael Jackson
is also back again, as well as former Beatle
producer George Martin,
Although Pipes of reace Is mostly pop
mush, some of the songs are melodic, and
Paul Is certainly In top vocal form. The level
of energy he once put Into his rock songs is
evldentally now being applied toward the
mellower material, since the songs on this
album as well as last years Tug of War are
structurally more mature than typical McCartney offerings of late.
•Sound and Vision-
gests that people should be able to "learn
songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn" and
music must "teach them how to play the
pipes of peace." Interestingly, the song fades
out with the exact string arrangement that
•ended the song "Tug of War."
"Say, Say, Say," the album's already
overplayed single featuring Michael Jackson,
'could prove to be the album's only major hit.
The album Is so heavily rooted In soft pop
that it will probably not get rock radio exposure, and Ihe mellow stations traditionally
don't play McCartney records because of his
association with rock music, This Is unfortunate, because there are some good songs
that deserve airplay,
"Keep Under Cover" Is a strong track.
"Eleanor Rlgby"-lsh strings make the tune
sound uncannily reminiscent of Paul's old
Beatles offerings. McCartney employs a
.beautiful falsetto In "So Bad," surely the high
point of the album. He conveys believable
pain In the song as he sings. "Girl. I love you
so bad."
Most of the songs on the album are less
Impressive, however. There are some Inventive bass licks and a nice Spanish guitar solo
In "Sweetest Little Show." but the song is so
foolish thai nothing could save It. "Sweetest
Little Show" fades into a bland song called
"Average Person." The lyrics, however,
recall the satire of "Penny Lane," lo Ihe
song's advantage. Amid a teasing "na-na"
chorus, McCartney mocks the banality of orPipes of Peace could very well have been dinary life, He tells of a former engine driver

ple solve them. In Ihe title track, Paul sugA major reason for this musical Improvement Is probably the discipline Induced by
George Martin. "Since I'm the producer
now," Martin commented, "If 1 don'l think
the material is good enough, we don't record
It." He says McCartney raised an eyebrow
"because my flrsl reaction was that out of the
fourteen songs he had written, four were
good," Martin's production of both albums is
flawless.
"Tug of Peace," a Jazzy rewrite of the song
"Tug of War," recalls the conflict theme: "It's
a lug-of-war. . .no, no. Your troubles cease
when you learn to play the pipes of peace,"
This is an interesting premise, but the Idea
could have been better Illustrated If these
were not the only lyrics, Consequently, the
song comes off as Inane. "Hey, Hey" Is a
dragging Instrumental, co-composed by Paul
and Stanley Clarke. Another collaboration
with Michael Jackson, "The Man," is a
throwaway. Laced with musical and lyrical
cliches, "The Man" may be too poppish lo
become a hit.
t was a rainy Thursday night when
my roommate and I stumbled into
the Cinema 1-6 al Colonic Center to
see Educating Pita, The review was due the
next day. We were both irritable and grumpy, she from lack of sleep, me from the anxiety of a major Chekhov test. Regardless,
we gritted our teeth and sat down, ci\u\ surprisingly, what greeted our eyes was nothing
short of hilarious and touching.
Lisa Mirabella
The scene Is set In 1916 at the Dixieland
boarding house run by the Gant family. M.
Susan Peck's portrayal of the family's
matriarch, Mrs. Eliza Gant, Is extremely
powerful. She demands attention from both
the players and Ihe audience at all times,
while evoking respect, fear and pity from
them.
Overall, Pipes of Peace is a lavishly produced, lackluster album, It's basically a sequel to Tug of War, and as most sequels go,
il offers little originality, And it certainly offers
no hints that McCartney ever plans to stray
from the confines of sweet pop.
If you're not a pop fan, stay away.

and bold, yet redeems herself with a touch of
vulnerability. She wants an education, and
nothing, not even a "geriatric hippy" like
G.ibert Is going to stop her. As she puts it,
she wants "to learn a better song." .

(Walters are the best features of the movie.
Rita is always there with a smart-ass answer,
yet we learn to love her for it, not think less
of her.

The album finishes off on a high note,
since "Through Our Love" is a perfect finale.
An exploding crescendo of brass and string
accompany Paul, as he looks forward with
optimism: "Through our love, we can do
things that they said were Impossible."
Pygmalion Revisited
Shirley Davis
he University Theatre's production
of Look Homeward, Angel, skillfully
directed by Jerome Hanley, was
well-received by university audiences this
weekend. The Pulitzer Prize-winning play by
Kettl Frtngs Is based on Thomas Wolfe's
autobiographical novel.
Matthew Healy does an effective Job portraying the sensitive youngest son Eugene,
the only Gant who succeeds In escaping
from Eliza's stronghold. The moving display
of tenderness for and strength against his
mother In the last scene Is outstanding.
Healy's skill is complemented by that of
Micheala Rellly who plays Laura, his friend
and lover In Ihe drama. Although they had
never shared Ihe stage before, both have
been seen In SUNYA productions while Ihey
were still attending local high schools.
Chris Vecciarello plays the older brother,
Ben, who has been defeated by his mother's
severity. He Is first sardonic In his resistance
to her, and then despairing In his Inability to
escape.
The only persona in Ihe family who does
nol display Hanley's ability to build solid,
convincing characters Is Ihe father, W.O.
Gant. Il is Impossible to believe that Ihe
youthful and energetic Mark Heine Is portraying a oU-year-old man who has been

As the movie progresses, we begin to see
ihe educating of Rita spring Into full force.
Just as rapidly, we witness the deterioration
of Caine. Rita emerges from an existence of
avid Harold Robbins fandom to an intense
Chekhov reader (Yes. bad enough I had a
Chekhov test —.1 had to see it in living
color). She is like a sponge, soaking up
everyone's opinion and taking what she
likes. We see the transformation, physically
as well as mentally. She is shown at the
beginning of the film with clothes that match
her hair. Towards the middle, as she is slowly emerging from her Instinctive shell, she
becomes Susan, not Rita. As her learning increases, she becomes softer as a woman.
She is confident and sassier than ever and
Caine can't handle it- When informed of her
name change, he exclaims, "call me Mary!
Why?...l feel like Mary Shelly - I created
Frankenstein."
To lighten the atmosphere of heightening
tension, the director Louis Gilbert has included a second plot; the affair betweer
The university town setting of the film is
perfect. The clear, crisp photography of the
university clashes with the harsh lighting of
Rita's lower class world.
Rita, finally, is able to learn to write an
essay, and in the process of living and learning, surpasses her professor.
We left the movie with a smile, knowing
thai Rita could take care of herself and she'd
be O.K. Then my roommate and 1 looked at
each other, and realized while the educating
of Rita just ended, our education was still goInn on.

EDITORIAL
Where were you'
A
t Kent State students felt so strongly about the Vietnam issue that blood was actually shed. At Albany
State students did not even feci strongly enough
about the Central America issue to attend a teach-in.
Perhaps it is true that the issues in Central America arc
not exactly parallel to those of Vietnam. But the fact remains that an array of films, speakers, and discussions were
available for three days on the issues of this vollial part of
the world and very few Albany students found the time to
attend,
One of the sessions was a forum on Women and the War
in Central America. Yanlra Chacon, a Salvadoran woman,
was present to share her experiences with women in the
U.S. She said that she feels certain the Salvadoran women
will play an active role in any Salvadoran government after
the struggle ends because of their essential involvement
before and during the Revolution.
The truth of Chacon's statement is yet to be seen.
However, it seems that more than six people or this university should be interested in knowing the tactics of AMES
(The Salvadoran Women's Association), the struggles they
are in, and the reasons behind Chacon's strong convictions.
There were sessions that drew crowds of up to a hundred
people, but this hardly reflects the energy with which
students responded 20 years ago to what they considered errors in the policies of their government. Perhaps there was
only a handful of people at the first teach-in on Vietnam,
before our own soldiers started getting shot . Is that what
we're waiting for?
Today's students do not live in the past, but they should
have the wisdom to sec that the Reagan Administration
does. Although the conflicts are in different parts of the
world, many of the same errors are being made. The U.S.
Invasion of Grenada and the continued backing of (he
rightist dictatorship of El Salvador arc giving many people
a gnawing feeling of "deja vu".
The organizers of the teach-in obviously saw similarities
between the situations In El Salvador and Vietnam. In fact
they scheduled a session of testimonials on Vietnam. This
was a chance for faculty and students to share their views
during the Vietnam era and the similarities between that
period and today.
Maybe we arc all sick of hearing how great the students
of the '60's were. They didn't have all the problems thai
students of '80's arc facing, anyway. Or maybe their hasn't
been enough bloodshed to really get a student movement
off the ground. Maybe we need to sec our draft numbers
come up.
More concretely, maybe the poor attendence of the
teach-in was due to ineffective advertising. Or, as an optimistic organizer suggested, perhaps there were just too
many events scheduled during the course of three days,
Maybe there arc too many maybes.
Whatever the reason is, the real question we all must ask
of ourselves, and of each other, is do we have something to
say about our government policies? And can we view ihcin
in an historical context, so that wc may react to them before
they cost any more lives? If the answers to these questions
arc yes, then maybe we should start learning.

World policy reform
Should the advanced nations of the world reform their
policies toward developing countries? If so, in what direction should Ihcy be reshaped? If not, what will be the
ultimate outcome of mankind?
These Important questions have been debated lor centuries while the relationship between advanced nations and
developing countries has steadily worsened. The British invasion of the Falkland Islands, Israeli invasion of Lebanon,
United States invasion of Grenada, Vietnamese Invasion of
Cambodia, French invasion of Chad, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan indicate that policy reform between
underdeveloped and developed countries is inevitable.
Gerry Rolley
It is unfortunate and extremely remorseful that over 200
Americans must die needlessly before the Reagan administration critically reevaluates it's policies in the Middle
East and elsewhere. As with most other Americans, I
sincerely sympathize with those families whose sons were
brutally massacred in Beirut. Lebanon. This outrageous
catastrophe may have been avoided only if the Reagan administration had abandoned the "big stick policy."
In dealing with burdensome global problems, the U.S.
government should neither be optimistic or pessimistic, but
realistic. The stronger and more advanced nations must
reform their economic and foreign policies with developing
countries simply to alleviate misery and to avoid and-or
delay World War 111. And why is this so? Because the people of the underdeveloped world are disillusioned,
dissatisfied, and disenchanted by the constraints placed on
them by their stronger neighbors. They are actually fed up,
they are to the point of frustration where they begin 10 feci,
"What do we have to lose?" When you get to that point,
you are the lype of person who can create a very dangerous
explosive atmosphere.
This lypc of altitude now prevails in such troubled
regions as Lebanon and El Salvador, and is gaining
momentum in places such as the Philippines and Pakistan.
The advanced nations of the world practically control the
economic reins of all developing countries. Whether
through loans, equipment and machinery, military
assistance, technical expertise, or coerced special favors,
developing nations arc somewhat like orphan children with
nowhere to go. It is often asserted that the multinational
corporations play a significant role in assisting in the
development of poor countries. This worn-out myth has
been challenged and unearthed many limes. There Is irrefutiblc conclusive evidence that the number one goal of
the multinational corporations is to maximize profits and
minimize wages; resulting in massive starvation,
unbelievable health hazards, and wretched living conditions. Moreover, the United Nations tenaciously irics lo
eliminate economic misfortune in the developing countries,
only to be restrained by legalities, loopholes, and guidelines
established by wealthier countries; Benevolent public and
private agencies, such as the Peace Corps, Operation
Crossroads, Student Exchange Programs, Care, World
Hunger Inc., etc., have been criticized for being
hypocritical, overly bureaucratic, conscious saving, and
strongholds for spies. Hence, their usefulness is neither felt,
or desired by developing nations.
The advanced nations of the world must reform their
economic policies soon. Some sort of measure is needed to
redistribute the world's wealth equitably. Whether such a
radical equitable arrangement can be reached — at least ,
within the next several, years — is open to serious doubt.
It Is now evident that economic specialists from all countries, not just Europe, must participate equally in solving
the world's economic crisis. Economic views, opinions,
and policies which drastically effect the entire world cannot
be formulated by special-interests. There can be nothing but
world chaos and confusion as long as such a strange arrangement exists. No one Is going to stand still very long
when he knows he is being exploited, particularly when he
has no input whatsoever into the decisions which effect his
livelihood. Once a person realizes he is being used,
manipulated, and degradated, the worst form of hoslitlity
erupts within him. This person, at this particular moment,
could care less about laws, morals, ethics, or nuclear
missies. When the advanced nations analyze this fact,
perhaps wc will sec less bombings, massacres and invasions.
The world's present economic arrangement breeds hatred,
nourishes nationalism, and provokes wars. The people in
the developing countries have been treated like beggars,
bums, and "nobodys" long enough. It is time for the advanced nations to reevaluate and revise their economic
policies towards developing countries and permit them to
have concrete inpul into their own economic future.
The foreign policy of the Reagan administration, as with
other developed countries; is similar to its economic
policies — scary and dangerous. Our present government
has entangled us in a conflict on every side of the globe,
with the grcatcs disaster (so far) being in Lebanon. It is time
for the American people to get off of their knees and unequivocally demand the Reagan administration to pull U.S.
interest out of regions thai arc hostile towards us. This is
not rctrcatism but common sensism. For example, what can
be gained from the adminsitration's support of the racist
and barbaric regime of South Africa? A place where you
may be hung for simply stating Ihc word democracy. Why
should wc go-ahead and give Marcos of the Philippines 900
million dollars when Ihc citizens over there are burning
American flags and slicking pins in dolls of Ronald
Reagan? And in Central America, ihc Reagan administration is playing all kinds of games with Nicaragua and El
Salvador — seeking to overthrow one government while
supporting Ihc oilier. What kind of democracy is this? The
Reagan administration's foreign policy musi be reformed
noi only because it supports dictatorships around Ihc
world, more importantly, it enhances the potential for the
further spread of communism.
The foreign policy of Ihc Reagan administration is
vague, ambiguous, and obscure. It lacks consistency und
constructivcncss as vividly displayed in war lorn Lebanon
and Grenada. Congress is always at odds with the administration and is confused on how to handle the "John
Wayne" type of foreign policy il exhibits. This seemingly
aimless foreign policy confuses other superpowers, befuddles our neighbors, and nurtures international distrust.
So where do wc go from here? Surely not back to some
drawing board — we arc in the mist of a world revolution
where full scale nuclear war may erupt at any moment.
Perhaps we should say a quick prayer; but, by Ihc lime we
bend our knees il may be loo laic. The present U.S. administration, along with other advanced nations, must stringently reevaluate the economic and foreign policies it pursues. Then reform these policies in conformity with
humanism, not Republicanism. America will no longer he
recognized as the "land of Ihc free" and "home of the
brave", but will be stigmatized as the "land of Ihc
freeloader" and "home of ihc bully", If policy reform docs
not materialize soon. The Reagan administration must
reform these policies within the principles of reason and In
consistency with the facts of meaningful social and
behavioral sciences.

A bystander at a recent Albany State men's basketball
practice noted, " I heard a rumor that Dave Adam is going
to hit the rim on one of his jumpshols today."
The bystander continued. "You see this drill where they
shoot around the perimeter? The other day he made 14 out
of 18, and today he made 12 out of 15. This guy is
amazing." In short, Dave Adam Is the ideal shooting guard,
and the Danes will look to him for leadership both on and
off the court in the 1983-84 season.

Adam recently showed off his awesome shooting prowess in the November 4 Purple-White intrasquad scrimmage. He shot seven out of 10 from the floor and finished
with 17 points. It is this kind of production that is expected
out of Adam regularly this year.
Last year, Adam averaged 6.5 points per game on 46,8
field goal shooting in his role as sometimes starter,
sometimes reserve. He also shot a very solid 73.2 per cent
from the foul line. This year he is strictly In a starting role
and is expected to produce in a big way.
Adam was tabbed co-captain of the team along with forward Wilson Thomas. These two will have their hands full
trying to replace last year's captains, lohn Dleckelman and
Mike Gatto.
Dleckelman was not only the statistical leader of the
Danes in almost every area, but he also had that rare personality to lead a team through thick and thin.
One or two players will not be enough to pick up the
slack of such a superstar.
"All of the guys who were here last year have grown up a
lot. We're all going to have to be pretly much leaders,"
Adam said.
In addition to his leadership role, he will be counted on
for a lot of offense due to the loss of Dleckelman and Gatto.
"Last year you could just sit out there and jusl feed the
ball to John (Dieckelman) and John was either going t o
score or get fouled. The guys that are playing there now are
plyaing well, but they're not going be a I.D. This means the
guards are going lo have to score more and I'm going to
have lo score more,"Adam says.
"Dave is the best shooter we have, we will need at least
15 shots a game out of him to bo successful this year,"
commented Albany Head Coach Dick Sauers.
" I think he's got a lot more confidence in his shooting
than when he started two years ago, and he should have a
good year," Sauers said,
Adam doesn't see any problems with adding more lo the
team's offense.
"There were times last year when Doc (Sauers) used to
get mad at me when I didn't shoot. I worked hard over the
summer on my shooting and now I have a lot of confidence in it," said Adam, who then stated, " D o c has confidence in me, so I'm going to lake the shot."
Last season Adam generally came off the bench for Instant offense. This season he has been thrust into an entirely
different role. Now Adam is starting at guard opposite Dan
Croutier.
" W e work well together. If I make a mistake he covers
for me and vice versa. Each of us knows what the other one
is going to d o , " said Adam.
Without the big guy in the middle the Danes will be expected to push the ball up court and look for the fast-break
a lot more than in the past.
" M e , Jan, and Danny all like to run more. Last year ).D.
was one of the big cogs in the offense so you wanted to
wait for him to get d o w n . But, now we have a lot of guys
who can score; we're not just looking for one g u y , "
pointed oul the Niskayuna native.
Sauers will lake advantage of Adam's verstility by having
him play both the point guard and the shooting guard positions.
" H e (Adam) will see a. lot of time at both guard
positions," said Sauers.
" I would rather play Ihe 2 (shooting guard), but I have
Adam's most productive game scorlng-wlse last year was
in a 79-75 road loss to Cortland where he popped In 16
points. Again, this is hoped to be a routine sort of game for
him .his year.
Adam, who stands 5'10", sat out his freshman season
with an illness and he was redshirled before returning t o
action two years ago. Thus, even though this Is his fourth
year at school he is a junior and has one year of eligibility
left after this season. This Is good news for Great Dane fans
and coaches.
Watching Adam at an Albany practice Is like watching an
artist at work. He usually arrives at practice early, where he
shoots about 50 shots a day on his own before Ihe regular
portion of practice begins, This is where Adam is at his
best, Shooting Is his masterpiece, and his textbook form
and grace make his shooting a sight to see. It's almost as if
you're watching a machine. Head fake, dribble to the
right, shot, swish. Head fake, dribble to the left, shot,
swish. If you were to look In the encyclopedia under
"Basketball Shooting," you just might see Adam's picture.
When regular practice begins, things are generally no different. Whether it be a shooting drill, foul shooting practice
or a scrimmage, Adam wears out the nets.
Even his teammates marvel at Adam's extraordinary
shooting touch. P -tently at a practice the varsity was
scrimmaging against the junior varsity, and Adam was u p
to his old tricks. He hil three bombs in a row, prompting
teammates )| Junes and Adam Ursprung to turn around and
chuckle in awe. "This guy doesn't miss," Jones said, with
only the slightest bit of exaggeration.Adam's three
howitzers prompted Sauers l o slop practice and scold the
defense. "Can't you guys tell that he can shoot y e t f "
Sauers yelled. Adam went on to miss one shot, then hit
another one from downtown before being removed from
the game. His teammates congratulated him for his fine
four oul of five performance. He thanked them and stared
back on Ihe floor, seemingly embarassed. For Dave Adam,
it was just another day at the office.

just as much confidence in playing 1 (point guard)," said
Adam, who also added, " I don't think I can run the break
as well as Danny. He's a phenomenal passer. But, once w e
get into a half-court offense I think I can run it as well as he
can."
As far as predicting the team's success this year, Adam is
very optimistic.
" I think we have a chance to be very, very good. I know
last year there were a lot of times when the guards could
outplay us. That was one of the main reasons we lost
games. I think there are going to be very few games when
the guards get outplayed this year."
There is nothing more stimulating t o athletes than a loud
home crowd that is In their favor. Being that the Danes will
be a running team, they will be an exciting team that will
keep a crowd on Its feet. Adam hopes that this will renew
fan Interest In the team.
" O n e thing I hope we get this year are the crowds. It's a
lot more fun playing when people are yelling for y o u , " the
captain said.

This svar loots no"difierent. Despite the
loss of three key starters Potsdam still is expected to be the dass ot the East.
Albany State, even w i t h o u t John
Dieckelman, might give Potsdam their
toughest challenge. They are predicted for
second place. The rest of the division is up
in the air. Cortland, coming on a strong
16-7 record has lost all five o« its starters but
still looks lough.
Binghamton has a new coach, and
hopefully for their sake will have a brand
new record, a lot better than last year's
disastrous 9-15 clip.
Pittsburgh and O l e o m a might be in a
little trouble but neither team can be
counted out.
Ptarrsburgh might not be tough enough
on the backboards while Oneonta would
have been the tallest team if it weren't for
the loss of two 6'6" forwards, who are out
tor the season, one because of a physical
injury, the other because of emotional problems.
The players to look out for this season are
Potsdam's Leroy \ \ ,therspoon. Albany
State s Wilson Thomas, Binghamton s Creg

Danes combine guard stiength, frontcourt depth
in double figures consistently this year for the Danes to be successful.
"He's got to put up about 15 shots a game for us, realistically," Sauers emphasized. "Dave is our best outside shooter. I think he's got a lot more confidence in his shooting than when he started two years ago, and he should
have a good year."
" I worked hard over the summer on my shooting, and now I have a lot more
confidence in it," Adam said. "Last year there were a lot of times when the
guards got outplayed, and that was one main reason we lost games. I think
there are going to be very, very few games when our guards get outplayed this
year."
The frontcourt is much more wide open as far as starting positions go, with
only one set starter and the other two positions up for grabs.
Senior co-captain Wilson Thomas enters his final year at power forward.
Thomas has extraordinary leaping ability, and the Danes will rely on him to improve on his 9.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game average of last year.
" W e need a consistent performance out of Wilson game after game," Sauers
stressed. " W e need a consistent rebounding and a consistent scoring performance. I would like to see him contribute a lot more off the offensive boards
than he did last year. Dieckelman was by far our best offensive rebounder, .mil
I don't have that now."
The small forward position will be occupied by junior Jan Zadoorian, who
played shooting guard last year averaging 5.9 points and 3.4 rebounds per
game, and freshman Adam Ursprung, who has impressed Sauers in the
preseason and will battle Zadoorian for the starting slot.
"One of the reasons he (Ursprung) will play is that he is a very good rebounder," said Sauers. "He's got a nose for the ball both on the offensive and
defensive boards. Being only a freshman he's going to make some mistakes out
there that a freshman would make. But I think that we've got to ride with the
blows. We need him — he's only going to get better."
The postman replacing Dieckelman will be a big job for any one of three
players, all of whom seem to have an equal chance of earning the starling spot
and all of whom will see lots of playing time.
Junior Pete Gosule (2.9 ppg, 1.3 rpg last year) had an impressive showing in
the Purple-White intrasquad scrimmage as he scored 14 points and pulled
down eight rebounds. II is his rebounding that concerns Sauers.
"If Pete was a good, solid rebounder at both ends there would be no question in my mind that he'd start, because he's got the court intelligence thai we

fifth place team in the eastern division won't quality tor postseason competition. In the postseason tournament, the number one team plays the fourth
place team in their division, the number two team plays the third team, and so
forth. (In the western division, one plays six, two plays five, and three plays
four.) The winners of both divisions then play each other for the SUNYAC
Championship in late February.
The Danes have a 24 game schedule this year, the longest they have ever
had. "Our schedule is long and hard but I'm very happy with the new
SUNYAC Conference. It gives us a chance to play in postseason competition,"
said Wirner. Among the obstacles in the Dane path to the SUNYAC tournament .ii • some very improved teams.
"Oneonta, Plattsburgh, and Oswego are probably the toughest teams w e .
have to face. They are always good and have improved even more this year,"
Warner said. Two more interesting games this season will be against RPI and
the College of Saint Rose. Last season, Albany defeated CSR 57-49 in a stunning
"Our lack of height won't permit us to
work inside too much. We'll have to rely
on our quickness. "
—Man Warner
come-from-behind victory, and defeated RPI 58-53 in a close game. These two
wins gave the Danes their first Capital District Tournament Championship in
the four year history of the tournament. This year's Capital district Tourney will
be on February 17 and 18 at Albany and the Danes will be shooting for back-toback championships. Other exciting tournaments include the Manhattanville
Tourney on December 3 and' 4 and the SUNY Albany Tourney vs. St.
Michael's, Vassar, and Castleton. The Danes opened their season Friday night
against the'Capital District Cougars, a local AAU team.
The women's basketball program is under the guidance of third-year coach
Warner. After a disappointing rookie year as assistant coach, Coach Warner
piloted her team to an impressive 14-6 record and a 10th place finish in the
state, barely missing the playoffs. She seems very enthusiastic about this year's
team. "Overall we look very good. We have a lot of depth with thirteen players
who can all contribute. We're going to need good ball movement from our
guards, lough rebounding from our frontcourt and a lot of aggressive defense."
Part of the reason for Coach Warner's success is her ability to get things
done. At the end of last season, she vowed to go out and recruit some height to
go with her quickness. "Barb (Shipley), Kim (Kosaiek), and Loren (Coleman)
are going to have to contribute for a successful season." These three freshmen
have an average height of 5'8" with Kosaiek at 5'10".
Coach Warner offers no predicitons of state championships but does envision a successful campaign. Last season, she had hoped to finish at .500 and
finished at .700. If her success rate continues, she could finish at .900. "Highly
doubtful, but we will be up there," comments Warner.
It should be an exciting and successful season for Coach Warner and her

need out there," Sauers commented. " H e handles the ball well; he's very
good in our transition game."
Junior Greg Hart (3.5 ppg, 2.7 rpg) also will play a key role at center and
power forward. Hart, known mostly for his defensive play and strength last
year, is becoming more of an offensive threat.
"His shooting and his offensive moves have improved a little each year that
he's been here, and he is our best defensvie player," Sauers said of his 6 ' 5 " big
man. " H e provides a lot of muscle, and we're just going to need him in there
for defensive rebounding a lot of times because he does get the boards."
Also competing for the center spot will be sophomore newcomer John
Mracek, a transfer from Union who traveled wtih the team last year but did not
suit up for the games. Mracek should also provide a lot of bulk, according to
Sauers.
• "As far as strength goes he's the strongest guy we've got," Sauers noted. "He
doesn't always rebound well despite his strength. What John Mracek's strength
is is he's a great outside shooter. You can't leave him alone out there."
Individually, none of the three will be able to dominate a game the way
Dieckelman did. But collectively, they should provide variation ,\nd depth and
must produce for the Danes in 1983-84.
"They all have different strengths, they've got to complement each other and
I've got to get them in there at the right time," Sauers said.
Rounding out the roster will be three players up from lasl ye.ir's junior varsity
squad whose coach, former Great Dane player Barry Cavanaugh, is now
Sauers' assistant.
"Last year there were a lot of times
when the guards got outplayed. I
think there are going to be very, very
few games when our guards get
outplayed this year."
—Dave Adam
Doug Kilmer, a backup guard, will fill a reserve role at both backcourt positions.
"Doug Kilmer is probably going to see a lot of time at both second guard and
point guard," Sauers forecasted. "Doug is an excellent shooter, and I expect
him to fill the role the way Dave Adam did for a couple of years — generally
coming off the bench and playing at both of those positions. He's a good, intelligent player. I think he'll help."
The other two players up from JV are J) Jones and Brian Kauppila.
"They're a lot better players right now than they were last year," Sauers
stated. "Early in the season they may not get a lot of playing time because as
the season develops, I expect them to work their way into a more playing lime
role.
"One of the question marks last year with our bench was that if we got
behind and we had to use those people on the bench a lot, we really didn't
come from behind well because they couldn't contribute any scoring. I think
that our bench is capable of contributing some points this year. That should be
a plus to us."
There are a good deal of positive things to expect from the Danes in 1983-84.
But for them to qualify for a postseason tournament there are a number of
questions that must be answered.
Number 1: Can Albany overcome an apparent lack of rebounding strength?
" I think the biggest question marks we have are going to be our rebounding
and our inside play. As the season goes on we've got to prove ourselves,"
Sauers emphasized. It would seem that a physical inside team could cause the
Danes some trouble.
Number 2: Can the Danes put together a good defensive year, a trademark of
Sauers' teams in the past? "That's going to be a key to our season, too," Sauers
said, "because I think defensively we've got to have a strong effort every game.
We might, in that regard, because of the size of our guards use a little more
zone this year than we have in the past. We have to try and make the best use
of the personnel we've got. I'm concerned about that — I think we have to be a
better defensive learn than we were last year to have as good a record."
"A lot of what we do is going lo have to do with our defense," Croulier added. "If the defense works, the offense will flow."
Number 3: Can the Danes make up for the loss of Dieckelman, of whom
Sauers said last year, "I don'l know of any player that's ever graduated that
we're going to miss more,"?
" I think that the people thai are going lo gel all the playing time are aware of
the fact that they've got lo make a belter contribution," Sauers noted. "But I
think that as the practice season has gone on they've missed him less and less,
and they've realized what their role is going lo lie and the points are still going
to be there. But he's not there — what are you going to do about it? We miss
him not only because of his scoring and rebounding, but because of his leadership, too, and that's why I said that last year. They've all got to assume more of
that (leadership) too, which they're doing."
Number 4: Can the Danes learn to run more now that Dieckelman is gone,
thus abandoning somehwat their deliberate offense? "We're going to try and
run more this year," Sauers stated. "We're trying to work on our transition
game both offensively and defensively. I didn't think we were a good transition
team last year. We're trying to improve that phase of our game in both directions — we've worked hard at that in the preseason."
The running game seems to suit some of the players just fine. " I think it will
definitely help my game," Croutier said. " I also think it will help everybody
else on the team — somebody like Wilson likes to run more."
Thomas agreed. "The team's going to run a lot more," Thomas noted. "That
suits my style. I like that."
The schedule once again shows some very stiff competition. In addition to
playing Potsdam twice and Union possibly twice (the two teams could face
each other in the Capital District Tournament in addition to thier regular
season meeting on January 11), the Danes will face Hartwick and Ithaca.
"That's six games right there against NCAA teams," Sauers said. In addition the
Danes must face Hamilton, lo whom Albany has lost the past two years and
who would be an NCAA contender were it not for Iheir school's policy prohibiting them from NCAA play. Add to that list the Christmas tournament
featuring John Jay, last year's regular season CUNY Champion; Buffalo State,
who defeated Albany in the SUNYACs last year; and Clark University, who is
last year's NCAA New England Regional Champion. "That's seven games
against the potential best teams in the east," Sauers summarized.
One plus on the scheduling side is there will be 13 home games at University
Gym, where the Danes went 10-1 last year with their only loss coming at the
hands of Scranton, who went on to win the Division III National Championship.
Another asset the Danes possess is in the coaching department, where
Sauers' 465 wins in his 28 years at Albany rank him 15th among the nation's active collegiate coaches. His next losing season will be his first.
Sauers summed up his thought for Ihe upcoming season this way. "Generally, we're a very good team when we get control at a game. We're not going to
get control of every game, and how well we play in that type of situation is going to dictate a lot for us.
"I really dont' make long-range predicitons. I think that we're capable of being as good as we were last year, which means that we're capable of being a
contender for a postseason tournament."
Which tournament? Well, it's too early to say. Right now, It's just a well
guard-ed secret.

Plattsburgh talented in East esane sets flow for cagers
Sports Writer
The competition will be intense in the
Eastern Division of the SUNYAC for the upcoming 1963-84 campaign. Albany, Plattsburgh, Oneonta, Potsdam, and Binghamton
will battle each other for the top spot In the
first-ever women's basketball SUNYAC Conference.
Albany Head Coach Marl Warner will attempt to lead her young team to another
dazzling season. Last year, the Danes opened the eyes of many with an impressive 14-6
record.
Oneonta and Plattsburgh appear to be
stronger than last year, as they have many
top-notch players returning. Potdam and
Binghamton will also provide keen competition.
The general feeling of the SUNYAC
coaches Is that the conference will feature
tight, close play and plenty of exciting action.
Indeed, anything is possible for the inaugural
season of the women's SUNYAC Conference.
Here are capsule summaries of the teams
in the Eastern Division of the SUNYAC:
PLATTSBURGH
The Cardinals, off of a very impressive
14-7 season, appear to be the class of the
division. They have only one freshman on
the squad, plus all of last year's front-line
players are returning.
Key Returning lettermcn: The two highest
scorers on the team last season are back.
Anne Slattery and Maureen McLendon (15
and 12 points a game average, respectively!
lead the Cardinals. Sheila Higgins, Cathy
Clark, Kathy Hanlin, and Tracy Burris help
Plattsburgh form a very solid team.
Key Losses: None. As a matter of fact, the
Cardinals bolstered up the areas they were
weak in last year.
Strengths: " W e ' r e fast, and we have good
bench strength," remarked Head Coach
Phoebe Strum upon assessing her team. " W e
have only one freshman; the other players
are either transfers or have had prior experience playing basketball."
Weaknesses: Coach Strum (eels that rebounding might be a problem due to a lack
of height. But she says, "If we execute the
fundamentals, this won't be a problem."
Expectations: The Cardinals are a.better
group talent-wise than last year's team, but
Strum notes, "It's too early to tell how the
team will do. You have to wait to see how
the team will do. You have to wait to see
how they, jell on the floor. Potential doesn't
mean anything until you go out and
execute." The Cardinals should be able to
better their 14-7 re >rd of last season.
Versus Albany: Plattsburgh beat the Danes
by two points last year, and Strum anticipates
five all returning, the Red Dragons pose a
serious threat to the SUNYAC East title.
Key Returning Lettermen: Senior cocaptain Karen Haag returns, along with two
other key starters, forward Carol Condolff
and center Lori Chamberlain. Haag set the
school record for assists last season, while
Condolff and Chamberlain led the Red
Dragons In team scoring. The key nucleus is
returning.

Key Losses: None.
Strengths: Oneonta possesses depth and
height, with several strong people at each
position.
Weaknesses: Blodgett feels It will be some
time before the new players get poised and
ready to play. She notes that "The transition
from high school to college Is a difficult
one."
Expectations: The Red Dragons made the
New York State Division III Tournament last
year, but lost to Hartwick and Oswego. They
also bowed out early in the ECAC. But Coach
Blodgett notes "That was the first time we
had our foot in the door; this year we hope to
go a little further. The competition will be
much
keener
w i t h the
SUNYAC
tournament."
Versus Albany: The Danes haven't met the
Red Dragons In seven years, but a fine
match-up should be anticipated when the
two teams square off on November 29.
Prediction: Third.
POTSDAM
The Bears will be hard-pressed to finish at
.500 this year with the loss of four starters.
Head Coach ]an Reetz faces a rebuilding
year with her relatively inexperienced team.
Key Returning Lettermen: Shelly Davison
and Phyllis Fleishman will have to lead the
Bears this year. Missy Serrao, Tracy Fuber,
and Peggie Chmura will be the other three
starters for Potsdam.
Key Losses: Four starters arc gone, and this
will hamper the team in such key areas as rebounding and bench strength.
Strengths and Weaknesses: The Bears are
more or less a homogeneous group, and rely
on quickness and aggressiveness. They don't
possess a single standout and don't have
much in the way of size.
Expectations: Last year, Potsdam was
11-9, but this season Coach Reelz is shooting
for a .500 campaign. Roelz really doesn't
know how this '83-'84 season will turn out
because the Bears have never played most of
the SUNYAC competitors before.
Versus Albany: The Danes topped the
Bears 61-56 last year with a game-ending rally. Reetz is looking forward lo another tight
game.
Prediction: Fourth.

fy DEAN CHANG
lilorial Assistant
Most successful teams have one player that could be calla catalyst; if that person does well, then so does the
lam. Albany State's women's varsity basketball team has
uch a player: point guard Wilhelmena Lesane.
Lesane will play an integral part In Head Coach Marl
arner's offensive plans this year. Last year, the players
'ould take their time and look for the best shot. Warner
as changed the offense to better suit the sophomore
uard. " W e didn't have the quickness to run last year,"
iid Warner. " N o w we're more of a fast-break type of
learn; this year's team Is ready to r u n . "
Fast Isn't an appropriate term t o describe Lesane. Greaslightning is more like It. Chris Pritchard, the Head
:oach of RFTs women's basketball team, called Lesane
ultra-quick." "She can cause nightmares for opponents,"
noted Pritchard. " H e r quickness results In opposing
players getting Into foul trouble. She really causes a lot of
frustration out there."
Lesane, w h o prefers to be called Rainny, wasn't even
recruited by Warner. She played her high school ball at
Morris H.S. In the Bronx, but really developed her fastbreak skills at the famed Bronx playgrounds. "The competition is much tougher at the playgrounds than In college," said Lesane. "First of all, you're playing with guys so
you have lo prove that you belong out there. If you don't
play well, then you don't play at all. It's also much more
physical; the guys aren't afraid of giving you an elbow or
two."
Playing at the playgrounds gives Lesane the freedom to
try things that she normally woudn't do In college. "You
don't have to worry about making a mistake," said Lesane.
"I might make more moves or take some crazy shots. One
thing that Coach (Warner) told me not to do was to lake
the ball to the hoop in a one-on-two situation. At a
playground, I would definitely go for It."
, Last year, Lesane was reluctant to take the outside shot.
As a result, the offensive part of her game was basically
one-dimensional. Go to the hoop, get fouled and try for the
three-point play. Things should be different this year.
"Rainnydeveloped versatility this year," saidWarner.
"She's come up with a nice jump shot to go along with her
drives to the basket."
Her numbers last year are Impressive, especially for a
player who didn't becaome a starter until the latter part of
the season. Lesane averaged 10.5 points and three steals
per game; both figures can be improved upon, but are
more than adequate. She also averaged less than three
assists per game and converted only 50 percent of her free
throws. Those figures are not what you expect from a starling point guard.
"I really want to improve my free throw percentage,"
said Lesane. "Since the other teams know that I'm a little
•weak at that, they'll be fouling me near the end of the
game. But I have definitely improved at the line this year."
Lesane also said that the assists would come with the new
offense.
The biggest difference that Warner could see about
Lesane was that she gained confidence. " I always knew
that she could do things," said Warner, "but she wasn't
'self-confident. Rainny has seemed to mature over thei
summer. Her confidence is showing when she's on the
' court; she does things without hesitation."
Most people would think that at 5 ' 2 " Lesane would have
an extreme disadvantage against some of the taller guards
that she faces. Not on your life. Being the shortest person
on the team is seen as an advantage by Lesane. " I like guarding tall guards because it's easier to steal the ball from
t h e m , " said Lesane. "Being small makes me very hard to
defend against. I think I can break a zone because my dribble is hard to get t o . "
Lesane didn't relish the starting position last year. "It felt
good coming off the bench," said'Lesane. " W h e n I found
out that I was going to start against Ciarkson (her first start),
I got really scared. At first, the responsibilities of being a
starter were too much. But now, I'm happy that I'm being
depended on. It's a good feeling to have control of a
game."
Controlling a game Is something that Lesane does well.
During last year's Capital District tournament, Albany faced RPI. Said Assistant Coach Patti Becker:"When Rainny
came in the game, we just took off. She makes things go
out there." RPI Coach Pritchard paid Lesane a great compliment by saying, " W h e n she plays a controlled ballgame,
there's no one in the Capital District who can play w i t h
her."
Lesane Is looking forward to this season; there are a few
things that she's shooting for. " I want lo play harder and
put more into the game," said Lesane. " I also want to help
the team to improve upon last year's 14-6 record. We just
have to play like a team."

Section recap
fo the Editor:
I would like to thank all of the students who turned out
vote this past Election Day. Contrary to some television
cports, student turnout at the on campus .polling places
Us above the local average of 37 per cent and off campus
yas not that much below this figure. The State quad
flagroom experienced a 52 per cent and the Gym had a
(how of 41 per cent of those registered this past year.
There are several issues which I feel need to be addressed
It this time. First, the harrassment and the hassles that
fome students received at the polls were not uncommon for
\n Albany Election Day. In fact, usually it is worse. The
Joard of Elections, in their infinite (or finite) wisdom
decided to disobey the election districts which they gerrymandered back in September. Most residents of Dutch
Juad were placed at the Thruway House. This foul up
caused students to be delayed for at least an hour and a
half.
Some buff cards or registrations, mostly from summer
loricntation students, were discovered to be missing, causing
line to raise serious questions over the processing of these
Iforms. One student from Alumni Quad was even thrcatcnIcd when lie went to vote. SA worked very hard on Ihis voter
campaign, only to have the Board of Elections throw the
[election into utter chaos.
The misplacement of buff cards and the election district
screw up could have been avoided if Commissioner Kinley
of the Board would have taken my advice. In letters of
September 26, October 24 and November 3, I requested
thai these mistakes be corrected. I even sal al I he Board on
Thursday and Friday before Election Day lo correct these
cards. Unfortunately, I was only speaking lo a brick wall.
The result of this were the major problems of Election Day.
Students should also realize that they do not have lo
register here to vote. You can vote al home by absentee
ballot, but sometimes that ends up being a large hassle.
Voting in Albany allows students to be a credible constituency of the local Albany community.
Students should not be discouraged by the hassles of this
past Tuesday. They should be proud of the fact thai I hey
now have two on campus polling sites and hopefully will
win a third. They should also take advantage of this enormous opportunity. The main point is that students should
be proud of their actions on Election Day. Although there
were several students who laughed or snickered when asked
to vole, the majority exercised their right and displayed
commendable citizenship. The local press could not even
come up with one valid story to criticize Albany Slate
Students.
On a final note, I salute all who added credibility to our
cause by voting. I also have to say I am proud to represent
Ihis student body.
Thank you I

Quiet Riot
To the Editor:
We would like to lake issue with several points made in
Mr. Bclz' article entitled " Quiet Rot", although we must
admit we thoroughly enjoyed reading the article.
We thought ihc Quiet Riot concert was very good, but
even if we didn't, we feel Aspects has done students and
Quiel Riol great disservice by sending out an unprepared
reviewer who then devoted a large portion of his article to
To the Editor:
We noted with Interest the slory on the proposed SUNY
budget In the October II issue of Ihc ASP. While the
figures in the article appeared to reflect accurately what was
then our preliminary analysis, the headline was quite
misleading.
The headline staled that "SUNY budget proposes cut of
1,100 positions." In fact, the budget docs not propose
these position eliminations. Rather, it recognizes the fact
that SUNY's current budgcl(for 1983-84) requires us lo do
so this year, liven more important, It is correct that for next
year we are requesting lhal 31" of these positions be
restored.
SUNY's faculty and staff position losses over recent
years have been quite severe. The effects arc fell not only in
academic programs, bul ulso in such essential areas as student services and building maintenance. We hope in our
next budget lo correct some of the imbalance.

Feminist I have always strongly supported the primary concerns of the Feminist Movement; those being fair treatment
of women, and womens' safely. 1 have also in the pasi actively supported ihe ERA and womens' safely groups.
As I started lo read "A Woman's Perspective" by Libby
Post my enthusiasm greatly diminshed. I felt that Post's article was nol one of Feminism bul on Lesbianism and
haired of men. Post gave ihc impression that many men are
rapists and sexual abusers. This, of course, is not Ihc case.
Many men may be ignorant to Ihc plight of women, but few
arc rapists,
Post also stated lhal being a lesbian was fun; is lhal lo
say lhal being a heterosexual is not fun?
Post is lo be commended for all that she has tried to do,
bul if Post and the editors of Ihc ASP would like the issue

Aspects
Established
reviewing ihc audience rather than the concert.
How dare a writer review a group he is'so unfamiliar with
lhal he doesn't even know the names of their songs. Also,
the audience, as Ihc article said, did consist of some young
high school students, bul there was a substantial number of
SUNYA students in attendance, and not everyone there
was wasted.
Some of the talk by the lead singer was slightly adolescent, but most was completely inoffensive and served to
personalize the concert. Without some kind of performance, in between and during the songs, we might just as
well have sat home and listened lo the album Instead.
Journalists are supposed to do some research on their
topics, go prepared to whatever they're covering, and be
cautious not to judge by first appearances. We hope that in
the future Aspects will encourage reporters to familiarize
themselves with their subjects so that their articles will be as
informative as they are enjoyable.

Graduate view
To Ihe Editor:
In regard to Ihc article of November 9 "SA Proposes new
fee for Graduate Students," in my opinion there is a large
difference between the facts and what the SA officials
would have us believe.
SA's Vice President Jeff Schneider said that many
graduate students make the use of SA services at SA's expense.
The article suggests that graduate students use the services of SA attorney Mark Mishlcr. However, if you read
closely you see that Schneider did not say that graduate
students arc currently using the services of Mishlcr. He
simply states that graduate students could use his services if
they paid the fee.
SA Comptroller Adam Barsky said in regard to legal services thai many graduate students come to Mishlcr for advice before signing a lease. While Ihis may be true, and I
don't know since I wasn't there, the fact is thai Ihc administration already provides Ihis service through the off
campus housing office to nil students without regard to Ihc
activity fee.
Harsky mentioned thai SA funds SASU and NYPIRG
two groups which fight for graduate students rights. It is
ironic that Harsky should choose these two groups since
lliey are ill fact funded by a number of student organizations including graduate student associations throughout
the state, nol exclusively through SUNYA SA.
Harsky also said, "Many graduate students already make
use of SA service without paying anything lor them." The
fact is that services provided to tax paying undergraduate
students are not provided lo graduate students at the same
rate. Graduate students pay an additional charge per event
just like everyone else, so graduate students are not getting
frccbics now.
I.ibby Post, SA Media Director believes that SA should
represent all students to provide services as one united
group. Post claims that an independent graduate association could not occurr at SUNYA "at anytime," even
though such an organization exists at SUNY Buffalo. What
kind of thinking is thai?
What these elected officials of SA are really irying lo do
is get graduate students to foot the bill for increased services for undergraduates.
While some graduate students would like lo participate in
undergraduate activities, the majority have interests and
commitments that licclsewhcrc. The graduate students that
wish to can pay Ihc fee on a voluniay basis.
Let me make il clear lhal I am not against Ihe idea of
establishing a graduate student organization, but I fail lo
iscc how the SA really has the graduale siudcnls bcsl injtcrcsls in mind.
The fact is thai SUNYA already has several graduale student organizations within the different graduate schools
designed lo meet the specific needs of llieir respective
groups.
The decision lo have a campus wide central graduate
organization and how lo fund it should he made by Ihc administration and interested graduate students already involved in their various groups, nol by undergraduate
students who are looking for an additional source of income.
I will he meeting will] ihc administration to offer them
Ihc graduate students point of view. If there arc any other
members of the university community who would like to
assist me please feel free lo call 463-2870,

Walerbury Hall
"More exposed 10 Ihe community
than the uptown
By Liz Reich
SIM
I
HHttiK
Cash and possessions valued at
approximately $1400 have been
stolen from unlocked rooms on
Alumni Quud in the pasi month, according to Director ol Public Safety
John I lennighan.
The more expensive stolen items
include: a watch valued al $250
from Allien 11.ill on Nov. 9; a slcrlo
cassette player valued al $.100 from
Allien Hall on N m . 9; a stciio
valued al $200 from Walerbury
Hall on Ocl, 28; a Walkman radio
valued al $120 from Walerbury
Hall on Ocl. 30; anil a television
valued at $2(X) from Walerbury
Hall on Nov. It).
Henighan said ihe rcecnl number
of thefts is unusually high for
Alumni Quad. " I I is nut unusual lo
have occasional thefts bul there is a
particular problem al thai location
al this lime," he asserted.
He maintained lhat Ihe thefts arc
not due lo lack of security on Alumni Quad. "Every one (theft) involves somebody leaving Ihe door
open," he explained.
Henighan said, "Probably the
I
quads"
same individuals arc involvd in the
thefts,*' but would not speculate as
to their Identity. " A n investigator is
assigned lo i l , " he said. " H e (Ihe
investigator) is looking into patients among* I he thefts." Henighan
declined to cite specific patterns.
Allien Hall Resident Assistant
Mike Nango said, " I have a personal hunch it's kids from Albany
High School" who are responsible
for ihe ihefis. " T h e high school is
close and Ihe robberies arc oecuring
during ihe d a y , " he noted,
Nango said the first floors of the
downtown dorms are particularly
susceptible to crimes. "We're more
exposed 10 Ihe community than the
uptown quads, The outside doors
of the dorms are locked but no one
asks people who knock on them to
show their ID cards. Once someone
gels inside the dorm they can knock
on room doors and see if they are
opened," Nango explained.
Nango attributes the thefts to student apathy. " R A ' s can't be
everywhere. People have to tighten
up and ask people to show their
IDs. It's not loo much considering
whal's happening."
One student, who was robbed in
Allien Hall, said she was across Ihe
hall at the lime. "They stole my
wallet on Nov. 4 and I was 20 feet
away. I didn't see anything," she
said. According to the police blotter
for that day, her wallet contained
$45 In cash and personal papers.
The student said that on the same
day, a resident of Aldcn was
btlrglari; d while he was in the
shower, " H i s wallci with $30 was
stolen, hui he was really mad
because there were pictures ofsenlimcntal value In there."
Ihe student says she thinks the
same individual was responsible for
both thefts, " I t was the same day
and the same dorm, so it's probably
the same person,"
In a separate issue, men have
been reported looking in the
women's showers on Alumni Quad.
Henighan says this is not unusual.
" O n Ocl. 29, a male student was
looking in Ihe women's shower at
Walerbury Hall. He was referred to
judicial board." He further notes
that a man has been sighted on
several occasions looking into the
women's room in Aldcn Hall, but
no one has been apprehended.

Current economy and job situation
discussed by Israeli professor
By Christina Refiell
STAFF WHITE!)
The current economic crisis, the job situation and study opportunities in Israel were
the main issues addressed Thursday night by
Yoav Vardi, speaker and professor from Tel
Aviv University labor resources management.
Sponsored by JSC-Hillcl and directed by
the American Zionist Youth Foundation
(AZYF), Vardi is a member of the overseas
program, which includes Israeli scholars who
go to different American universities in order
to reach more students and faculty members.
Important topics regarding Israel arc discussed in order to familiarize Jewish individuals
about what is currently happening in Israel.
The economic situation is very important,
stressed Vardi, and the AZYF thus stresses
tourism as a major source of Israel's
economic recovery. Vurdi urges all "to be a
part of the tourist wave in order to bring In
much-needed American dollars into Israel."
Vardi continued by adding thai "Israel is n
major altracllon — there is a lot of beauty
there through scenery, and much knowledge
Is to be gulncd there through universities.
Please," he urged, "visit Israel!"
The inflation rate in Israel is still very
severe, at 100 percent, according to Vardi,
but is steadily decreasing. "People in Israel
had to learn how to cope with the situation,
and had to learn how to balance and sensibly
control their Finances," he said. The government took severe measures to save the
economy, Vardi said, "but under the circumstances, not much else could have been
done."
First, the government created more jobs
through industry in order to get people back
to work, said Vardi. This, he asserted, "led
the people to spend again in their economy.
For a long time Israelis were afraid to spend
their money because the financial situation
was so terrible." But once the crisis began to
be dealt with in an efficient, sensible way,
"people began to spend again," said Vardi.
This led 'to a partial recovery of the economy, i
he added.
Keith Wiseman, a junior who attended the
lecture, said, "I think he (Vardi) was talking
mainly from actual experience. He didn't
know too much about the theories" involved. Wiseman went on to say that "everything
Vardi said was basically accurate, but he
might have interpreted it differently."
Vardi and the other AZYF members hope
to aid Israel's economy through universal
knowledge by lecturing around the country,
said Vardi.

racist, immoral and unjust political system."
Ture ended his speech saying, "Unless you
act, all your thinking means nothing. You
can wish for a unified, socialist Africa, but it
is nothing unless you as Africans, join
organizations that further this end. You must
act on your beliefs. Brothers and sisters,
organize: ready for the revolution."
After the speech, Ture meet ASUUA and
NAACP members for an informal discussion. Students were given the opportunity to
join the A-APRF.

Tourism is further needed to pick up the
economy, and a familiarization of the overall
situation there by everyone, staled Vardi, "is
necessary for recovery."
Jewish students and faculty are urged by
the AZYF lo visit Israel "In order 10 fully see
the situation and at the same lime lake advantage of the job and study opportunities
available," he said.
"These are our main Intentions, for others
to know all the aspects thai Israel has lo oiler," said Vardi.

The purpose of this group is not primarily for counseling,
but rather to provide a place for women who are considering lesbianism, or are lesbians, to share their feelings and
concerns. This is a particularly difficult issue for many
women to face because they feel isolated. In fact, many
women are facing these issues, and the purpose of this
group is to bring these women together. Issues that the
group will discuss include: coming out, dealing with family
and friends, and dealing with society. The next meeting
will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 76; the meetings are at
Middle Earth (102 Schuyler Hall, Dutch Quad), from
8:00-9:30. For more info, call 457-7800.

Spikers fifth at States; still receive NCAA bid
By Tom Kacarides
SPORTS EDITOR
Mild-mannered consistency is one thing,
and performing when it counts is something
else us the young Albany State women's
volleyball team learned last weekend at the
Slutc championships held in Binghamton last
weekend.
The Danes seriously jeopardized their
chances of receiving a bid to the NCAA
Championships when Ihcy finished firth at
Stales. Albany lost to Brockporl Stale, 8-15,
15-8, 12-13, in the pool competition and were
later defeated by Bropklyn College In (he
quartcrfinuls, 14-16, 2-15. Albnny had been
seeded second.
Interestingly enough, despite their two
losses, Albuny received un invitation to the
NCAA tournament on Sunday afternoon,
according to Head Coach Patrick Dwyer.
"The States were very strong this year," he
noted. The teams that beat Albany,
Brockporl, and Brooklyn, went on to do well
finishing second and third respectively. In additilon, Brockporl's games against tourncywlnncr Ithaca College were both decided by
the mandatory two-point differential, 15-13,
and 16-14. "The whole thing was very
close," Dwyer said. No doubt lhat fact
helped Albany's cause at the NCAA sclecllon
committee meeting.
Albany began its pool play by defeating
Hunter College, 15-9, 15-7. After thai, the
Danes got their first taste of trouble.
Brockporl hit Ihe court reudy lo play and led
the Danes through three games, 8-15, 15-8,
12-15 Albany recovered enough to put Piatt-
sburgh State away in two games, 15-11, 15-6.
The Danes then advanced to the quarterfinals. Albany wos ahead all of the first
game, but Brooklyn came back to take It by
two, 16-14. After that, Albany folded under
the pressure, losing by a score of 15-2 in a
game marked by bad passing and questionable decisions by the referees. Said
Dwyer, "Only a few of our players had been
to the Stales before, but we never collapsed
like that all season. It was the pressure."
Ithaca. Coach Dwyer commented, "Of the
top four teams, MIT is the most vulnerable,
so wc have the best possible avenue to the
final-four competition we could have. We've
One bright spot in the Danes' dark day was
the selection of senior Liz. Rosentel to the
tournament's all-star team. Many times, if a
team docs not do particularly well, individual
standouts do not get enough exposure to be
selected to an all-star team, however,
Rosentel, who wns un all-star player in
several tournaments this year, was sufficiently well known to be chosen anyway. Said
Dwyer, "Wc had other players wlio had a
shot at il, bul Ihcy didn't gel seen because Ihe
selection committee didn't start looking until
Ihe semifinals."

Albany can now look forward to the

The question now is, "how fur can they

A lOih place finish at Saturday's NCAA
Regionals seemed a Titling end to Albany
State's women's cross country team's less
(ban spectacular season.
The Danes recorded one victory this season
as Albany repeated in winning the Capital
District meet. Thai was the only highlight of
the season. The rest of the year was filled
with "what might-have-beens", mediocre
results and two seasons worth of losses.
Despite the poor record, many of the runners improved ihroughoui the year.
Freshman Maura Million's improvement was

The first two Dane scores were sparked by

Bob Jojo picked off a Jim Cleary pass

Students increasing caution in college choices
By C h r i s t i n e Reffelt
STMT WHITER
Prospective students are shopping around
for colleges and wailing until much later in
the year before making their final choices, according lo Rodney Hart, Ihe director of admissions at S U N Y A .
The students are taking more lime, said
Hart, because Ihey want lo gel Ihe most for
Iheir money. "Recently, we've noticed thai
students are submitting reservation deposits
to more lhan one school, attending summer
orientations, and then making a decision."
Students used lo apply early and make Iheir
choice by May, slated Hart,
" b u t now they apply in
January," he added.
• According to Hart, the
key factor in Ibis trend is
that most colleges only require a $50 deposit.
He said he sees this figure as a problem. " F i l ly dollars is not enough," he noted, "because
il doesn't discourage students from sending
$50 deposits l o several schools." This leads
lo no-shows, added Hart, "because f i l l y
dollars is not a loi lo lose svhen you're talking
about spending $20,000 for an education,"
lie said.

Marci Levin, a prospective student visiiing

Suzanne Demutle, also a prospective siu-

"leaving more lhan one deposil gives me Ihe
freedom lo check oul the schools more
carefully and make Ihe right choice. Education is loo expensive now not lo do i h a l , " she
said.
The over-all concensus of Ibis is that the

Similarly, Scott l l o r a n , also a freshman

the cost of schools. So it was worth i l , " he
added, "because I felt confident in my final
decision."
University officials are also noticing that
more freshmen arc inking advantage of the
university's academic advising services, an
occuriancc which also reflects (he students'
desire lo be more informed about the univcrsily and Ihe courses, said Hart.
