Tuesday
Women cagers host Nazareth in ECAC opener
History will be made lonighi
when Ihe Albany Slate women's
basketball team tips off against
Nazareth College al University
Gym.
For the first time in the six year
existence o f the team, Albany will
be competing in a post-season tournament. The Danes are Ihe hosts of
the tournament and will play
Nazareth at 8 p.m., while Onconta
and Alfred square off at 6 p.m. in
the first round of the ECAC
tourney. The championship game is
slated for 2 p.m. tomorrow.
After last Tuesday's 72-58 defeat
to Onconta in the S U N Y A C
playoffs, it looked as though the
season had come lo an end for the
Danes. It wasn't until Monday
afternoon that Albany Head Coach
Mari Warner received word that her
team would be hosting the tournament. " W e ' r e psyched to play,"
said Warner. "Hopefully, we'll go
right after Ihcm ( N a z a r c l h ) . "
The Danes will have their hands
full with Nazareth. The Golden
Flyers have beaten the University of
Rochester, a team that will be competing in Ihe N C A A playoffs.
Nazareth has a big height advantage
over Albany, but the Danes' main
asset might offset that advantage;
speed. Albany will try to utilize thai
quickness by attempting to run
Nazareth ail over the court.
F A S T B R E A K S : Albany is 15-9 on
Ihe year...Danes are riding a
modest two-game home winning
streak.

Supreme Court Ruling on
college aid delivers
blow to women's rights
By Mark Wllgard
STAFF WRITER
According to Winner, Albany
will utilize a full court press for
much of the game. " W e need to get
the steals in order lo play our running type o f game," she said. The
Danes will have lo watch out for
Dcnise Hickey, a strong wing player
who is one o f the lop scorers on the
Golden Flyers.
Rainny Lesane and Ronnie Patterson are the big weapons for the
women cagers. Lesane leads the
team with 14.4 points per game (47
percent from the floor). Patterson
is second with a 12.1 average.
Albany must gel point production
f r o m their w i n g p l a y e r s , a
troublesome spot o f the team for
much o f the year.
" W e just have to hope for good
all-around scoring," commented
Warner. " W e ' l l also need scoring
from our wing players and we have
to hit a couple of free throws."
The foul line has been a problem
for Albany during the season. Patterson is shooting 64 percent from
the line to lead the team. I f the
Danes have any hope of winning
this game, they must convert from
the charity line.
Albany has had a long layoff
coming into tonight's game. Nevertheless, you can expect the Danes lo
be ready for Nazareth. " W h e n I
saw the looks on the girls' faces, I
knew they would be ready for the
tournament," said Warner.
If the Danes can gel by the
Golden Flyers, a possible match-up
with Oneonta looms for the championship game. In two previous
meetings this year, it was the Red
Dragons coming out on top.
Onconta topped Albany just last
week to knock them out of the
S U N Y A C playofrs. Perhaps the
third lime will prove lo be the
charm for the Great Danes.

" 1 was very surprised ihcy came out in a man-to-man," said Albany
Head Coach Dick Sailers recalling the last play. " O n every oilier out of

Albany was in control mosl o f ihe second half o f a poorly played offensive struggle while building a lead as large as eight points. W i l h 13:48 remaining in the game Doug Kilmer hit a sitot lo make the score 26-18 in
favor of the Danes.
The Colonials slowly but surely closed the gap as Ihcy scored eighl of

However, Mark Wright came up wilh one of his many second half offensive rebounds.

UAS Board to decide on 7.3 percent rate increase
By Michelle Busher
and J i m O'Sullivan
The University Auxiliary Services Board of
Directors will vote Wednesday on a proposed
7.3 percent rale hike for student meal plans.
At their meeting lasi Friday, the board
postponed this decision, bill did decide to sell

adopted, a breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal

and dinner plan will inerease'~S66 per

"Some son ol' (rale) increase will be
necessary," UAS President Johanna Sarrnceb said. The main reason lor a rale hike, she
explained, is thai Ihe slate is raising lire .surcharge on utility rales, which necessitates al
least a 2.4 percent increase.
In addition, Sarracco said, nexi year's
school calendar requires UAS lo serve meals
six more days than this year.
Another factor, Sarracco explained, is lhal
ihe costs of food and services have risen, and
lhal lo offset this inflation, UAS must raise
its rales.
The 1984 utility surcharge is $249,272,
Zahm said, up from lasi year's $135,012.
Next year's proposed surcharge will be
$393,300, he added.

'Drunk drivers' victims suffer the twist.
Facts, statistics and opinions were
bantered back and fonh Thursday night al a
debate discussing the virtues and drawbacks
of raising ihe drinking age to 21.
Proponents for raising the drinking age
were: the dircclor of RID (Remove Inloxicated Drivers) from Albany, Doris Ackin;
Ithaca College professor Loius Munch; and
Belly Martin, whose daughter was killed in
an alcohol related crash.
Those arguing for retaining the drinking
age al 19 included: Student Association for
Slate Universilies (SASU) member Hope
Gaislcr; the Long Branch owner Robert
Boor; and Tavern Assoeialion member Ron
Wolherspoon.
Marlin opened the debate, giving a brief
historical perspective on ihe drinking age.
She pointed out lhal ihe drinking age was 21
until 1971 when ihe 26ih amendment was
passed cxlending the voting age to 18. Soon
after, many stales lowered their drinking age.
"Out of ihe 29 slates lhal lowered their
drinking age, 19 of the slates have increased
the age because of the significant increase in
car crashes.among the young," she stated.
Marlin pointed put dial t.he ones^yjipJJUj'fe.r.,
Ihe most arc Ihe victims of drunk drivers.
"Tile decision lo drink precludes the decision
to drive. There is no appeal for those who
die. This is a denial of a fundamental civil
liberty," declared Marlin.
Boor presented a counter-argument saying, "the emotional tactics of Marlin
shouldn't be used to rule logic." He said lhal
neo-prohibition, a social and polilical
thought aimed al alcoholic consumption control for society as a whole, denies individuals
their rights.
In the 1970's there was a iccn population
explosion due lo Ihe baby boom of the 50's,
he explained. "Crashes increased not because
of alcohol, bin because of the increase in teen
population," said Boor. Although Michigan
reported a decrease in crashes, Minnesota
and Massachusetts experienced an increase in
'crashes alter ihey raised their drinking age,
he noted. "Each slate is unique. It is erroneous to atlrihuie a decrease in crashes to
merely one source," said Boor.
He maintained that because ihe young are
healthy, it is not surprising lhal accidents are
the prime killers of 16-21 year olds. The
, young are involved in more accidents because
of |hcir inexperience behind the wheel, not

! Ackin attacked Boor's argument saying,
'"there is no merit in protecting industry at
I the expense of public health." She pointed
on! lhal Ihe liquor industry made $24 billion
in revenue lasi year. "The liquor industry
was against raising the drinking age lo 19.
They would rather have profit than a low
death rate," declared Ackin.
According to ihe 1984 Gallup poll, 77 per
'cent of ihe public supports the raising of ihe
drinking age, Ackin noted. She added that,
i"RID has no other motivation than lo prevent injuries in the fairest way possible. If
New York raised its drinking age oilier
border states would follow suit."
Conlcnding that three out of every ten
drivers are drunk and speeding she insisted
that immediacy is imperative if lives are to be
saved. She added lhal Governor Mario
Cuomo said lhal 75 lives could be saved ihis
year if ihe drinking age were raised.
Gaisler prcsenled a common argument
about righls. She asserted that persons between Ihe ages of 18-20 are bound by a social

Task force strives to recruit minority students
By Dave Catalafamo
A group of sludenis have formed a Minorily Reeruilmenl
Task Force which hopes 10 aid disadvanlagcd sludenis
enrolled al SUNYA.
Blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians are Hoi well
represented on campus, according 10 ihc Minorily Reeruilmenl Program Coordinator Lois Tripp, who also heads ihe
Equal Opportunity Program al SUNYA.
. Last year, Ihc university initiated the Minorily Reeruilmenl Program to combat ihe problem of minority under*
reprcscntalion, said Tripp.
According to Director of Admissions Rodney Marl, the
Minorily Recruitment Program, "does not louch upon all
clhnlc groups." The program is targeted al Blacks, Hispanics
and American Indians of good academic slanding ihnl might
otherwise be excluded from the University, Hart cited a
reason for developing the program as being till aiicmpt to
diversify the university population.
Currently, interested university sludenis are being organized into a Minorily Reeruilmenl Task Force to aid Ihe Office
of Admissions in the Minorily Reeruilmenl Program.
Before the last academic year, there were only Ihrce admission programs available to applicants; which were traditional, talenlcd admissions ami EOP.
To be accepted under the admissions program a minimum
high school average of 80 or class rank in I lie top half of Ihc
class was required, along with college board scores thai range
between 900 and MIX), said Hart.
"The class is rilled by starling with ihe most qualified applicant and working down until ihe class is full," said Marl.
Acceptance to ihc university under ihc talenlcd admission
program requires an SO percent average or a rank in ihc lop
half of the high school class, along with board scores thai arc
belter than a total 900, with no less than 400 on cither the
verbal or math, said Hart.
The program is aimed loward sludenis who have special
talents, said Hart, such as, Ihc music sludcnl who expends a
great deal of energy pracl icing, which is not necessarily
reflected in ihe academic record.
EOP is a statewide program designed specifically for those
students who would not ordinarily be admitted to Ihe univcrsily, according 10 Han. Two criteria, academic and financial,
must be met in order 10 be accepted to the university under
EOP. Academically the program is geared loward the cducalionally and culturally disadvantaged sludcnl, who is in need
of some remedial help.
"Financially, it is not a mailer of just being poor, you
have to be really destitute," said Hart, who added that Ihc
New York Stale legislature passed legal guidelines to be eligible for EOP. Hart pointed out that "EOP is not done al the
expense of the students. Money and space for Ihe program
are always an add-on to ihc existing traditional program."
According to Tripp, the university, after identifying ihe
needs of the application pool, adopted the Minorily Recruitment Program. Tripp stressed that ihe program is 1101 an
equivalent of EOP. "The sludenis accepted through the
Minorily Reeruilmenl Program are not in need of any type of
remedial instruction." In addition, sludenis who enter the
university under ihe program are not financially disadvantaged.
Hart explained thut 10 be admitted to Ihe university under
tile Minorily Recruitment Programs a student musl have a
high school average of at least 80 percent, or be in the lop
one-half of the class. In addition, the applicant can have
scored no less lhan 800 lolal on ihe college boards, including
a minimum of 300 on both verbal and math. Applicants must
also submit recommendations, a list of activities and an
essay.
Han explained thai Ihe Minorily Reeruilmenl Program
and Ihc Talented Admission Program are similar in lltal they
arc both designed to recruit the sludcnl thai, for whatever
reason, falls below traditional standards yet is well above

and increase ihe probability thai ihcy will complete ihe application process.
At a meeting Monday of ihc Minorily Reeruilmenl Task

Jim Tierney, Vice President of the SUNYA Chapter of the
NAAC'P Dwayne Sampson and 10 01 her inlcrcsied sludenis,
an election was held. Dwayne Sampson was chosen as Ihe
chairman of the Minorily Reeruilmenl Task Force for Ihc remainder of the year.
In I'uiurc years, however, ihc SA Minorily Affairs Coordinalor will be the acting chair.
Tierney expressed his desire to lake ihc issue to ihe slate

said, are especially disadvantaged by scholastic lesis which
arc cullurally biased. Programs like ihe Minority Reeruilmenl Program and ihe Talenlcd Admission Program ate
designed 10 "make Ihc process more flexible," Hail said.
"We have 10 keep in mind we are a public insiiiuiiou ami
we need to gel a good cross section of the public," Han said.
For I his upcoming academic year, Hail approximates thai 60
sludenis will enter ihe university through the Minority
Reeruilmenl Program.
I'o aid ihe admission office, Ihe Minorily Reeruilmenl
Task Force is being formed wilh the help ol'SA Minority Affairs Coordinator Vivian Vazquez. Vazquez believes thai
"an exira effort has 10 be made in recruiting minorities/,"
Right now, Vazquez said, "we arc running scared."
Hopefully, if more minorities are recruited there will be "a
lessening of the impact of racism going around," she added.
According lo Vazquez, righl now the level of minorilcs in
Ihc freshman and sophomore class is adequate, however,
"there are hardly any junior and senior minorities.';'
Through ihe Minority Reeruilmenl Program, Vazquez hopes
thai levels of applying minorities will increase. Currently ihe
minorily sludcnl population of SUNYA is 7.8 percent, as
compared 10 ihe population of minorities in New York Stale
which is al leasl 23 percent.
Tripp noicd thai the task force will be doing work that has
been done in ihc past by inlcrcsied sludenis on an informal
basis.
One of ihe 1'unclions of the task force will be to call applicants and urge them 10 complelc the application process.

Chinese women in the 18th and
19th centuries had very low status
and no first names, but that's
changing now, according to Alice
Lin, who described her observations and perceptions of China Sunday during an international tea.
Lin explained the direction
women's roles have taken in China
by citing examples of their lifestyles
in the past two hundred years. "A
woman had no first name," Lin recounted. "She was known to her
friends and relations as Mrs. so and
so. Her first name was not recognized or used...she had no'status...she
was not educated at all in an institution," said Lin.
The Chinese women of the early
centuries were easily divorced by
their husbands for any reason, said
Lin. "The primary reason was if the
woman bore no sons," explained
Lin, "but no reason had to exist.
The marriage could be terminated if
the husband decided Id terminate
it." Women could not divorce at all
without mutual consent from their
husbands, asserted Lin, and
husbands could also have many
concubines "under the law."
The subservience of Chinese
women in the past began with training when I hey were infants, Lin
maintained. "The Chinese woman
was taught lo.obeyall men, first her
husband, and then her son... A son
was awarded (his father's) properly
over the mother in every case," added Lin, and "a woman could not
inherit properly or money."
A woman in China whose husband died wits expected to never
marry again or, "sometimes if she
committed suicide Ihc action was
looked at in a positive way and she
would be applauded by her contem-

poraries," noled Lin.
In 1911, the New Republic went
into action and it changed the role
of women in a gradual way, said
Lin. "The change wasn't drastic
because of China's size. The new
laws look a long time to reach all of
China," she explained.
The practice of having concubines was outlawed under the
New Republic, said Ihc speaker.
The 1931 Civil Codes gave
women rights and protection equal
to those of Chinese men, said Lin.
Lin explained thai in 1949 Ihc

women. "They wanted to arrange a

I hat were appealed to because Ihcy

China...They worked side by side

and politically and socially active,"
observed Lin.
"The (recent) role models of
women in China were educated in
Western countries and came back lo
China lo sol examples," said Lin.
Lin visited China in 1979 and
1982.
Lin made three major observations about 1982 China. "There

President Ronald Reagan is using
"electoral politics" by moving Ihc
Marines out of Lebanon and onlo
ships, said SUNYA Political
Science Professor Nabccl Khoury at
a speech Thursday night on U.S.
foreign policy in Lebanon.
By removing ihc Iroops from
Lebanon, Reagan avoids "liberal
criticism" declared Khoury. Shelling Beirut from the ships "avoids
conservative criticism", he added.
In order to resolve conflict in
Lebanon, all U.S. and foreign
forces must be removed from
Lebanon, Khoury emphasized.
Khoury said ihnt the U.S. is
"playing a game" in Lebanon, and
thai this " 'game' is dcslruclion."
In addition lo recommending Ihc
U.S. "extricate llself from playing
this game" Khoury said thai Ihc
U.S. is using a "cold war perspective!' m l n e ' r foreign policy.
Lebanese policy intertwines three
major components, said Khoury,
which arc international, regional
and domcslic in nature.
On ihc International level,
Khoury stressed the effects of
American "containment policy",
and
ils causing
of
ihc
"misunderstanding of social and
political systems" in Lebanon. Insisting I here arc no Icfiist motives to
Lebanese goals, Khoury asserted
thai Ihc Lebanese do not desire any
form of socialist governmcni.
Khoury noled United Slates'
"disinlcresl" in Lebanon during
the 1960's and 1970's, and concluded thai the U.S. did not recognize
any problems until Ihc "crisis"
began during the 1980's.
Khoury said that regional problems with Israel, Syria, and the
Palestinians arc "bargaining
chips," and asserted that ihesc problems have "no bearing on the
emerging system of Lebanon."
Khoury emphasized that the various
Lebanese political factions gain
their Importance by having equal
chances lo voice their views in Ihc
government.
"Rebuilding ihc Lebanese army
in 1983 didn't help" lite country, lie
said, because "there must be a consensus (between the interest groups)
of ihc army's military use." Khoury
said Ihc lenu "civil war" is inappropriate for the Lebanese conflict
because there is "every conceivable
kind of soldier involved."
To facilitate change, and adjusl
the Lebanese governmcni lo fil the
needs of the country, Khoury suggested that Ihc Lebanese governmcni should "sit down and address
I heir internal problems."
According lo Chair of the
SUNYA Political Science Department Martin Edelman, "every administration since Franklin
Roosevelt" has national inicrcst.
Edelman emphasized I his approach
to foreign policy, but noted thai ihc
Reagan administration has a '
"distinctive emphasis on force" in
their foreign policy. The Reagan
administration docs not lake the
long established Lebanese groups
into account, and it "doesn't have a
viable policy" he added.
The U.S. wants a pro-western
government at best, or a neutral one
at worst, to rule Lebanon, according lo Edelman. "The PLO has a
past history of not accepting the existence of Israel" he said. Without
this acceptance of Israel, the "PLO
will not make peace In Lebanon any
easier," he said.

Currently women in China have
started to reach the degree of status
that all people should have, Lin
said. She noled, however, that litis
is still only applicable to certain
women in China. She also observed
thai "a woman in China is not able
lo share the housework wilh her
husband like Wcslern women. They
are still responsible for ihc shopping, laundry and running of Ihc
home."
Lin left Chun King, China, in
1964. She altcndcd Taiwan College,

"most Americans sec no useful purpose for U.S. Iroops in Lebanon."
The U.S. docs nol want lo appear

U.S. is nol sympathetic to ihc PLO,

"Reagan views all foreign policy

The major goal of Reagan policy

Abuse may be linked to hormone
By Barbara Barron
Infant abuse may be linked to the
hormone testosterone, according to
the findings of SUNYA biological
psychologist Dr. Bruce B. Svarc.
Using mice as research animals,
Svarc said he has discovered that
the levels o f the h o r m o n e
testosterone influence the behavior
of the adult mice towards infant
mice.
" N a i v e female animals, or
females that have not previously
been exposed to infants show spontaneous maternal instincts," he
said, adding that the females will
nurse and care for the young mice.
"Naive males, on the other hand,
react aggressively to the young and
try to kill l i t e m , " he explained.
Svarc's research focuses on the
affects of hormone and gender differences on behavior.
As part o f his research, Svarc
said, he castrated male mice in
order to eliminate the hormone
testosterone. "These male mice
then lend to act Tike the naive
females and even try to nurse the
y o u n g , " he asserted. " O n the,other
hand, females that were injected by
the hormone tend to act aggressive
toward the y o u n g , " he said.
According to Svarc, it is not
known if this type of behavior exists
in humans. " I don't know o f any
research
that
shows
litis
phenomenon in people," he said.

In lower animals their sense of
smell is "refined and extremely im.
porlahl,"
he s a i d .
When
testosterone enters the brains of
lower animals it affects the olfactory bulb, or the sense of smell.
This somehow changes the way the
mouse perceives the baby, he said.
However, in higher animals, such as
humans, the sense of smell is less
important and "they arc probably
affected to a lesser degree than the
lower animals," Svarc said.

Solomon Amendment challenged
By Jon Willmott
.ST/tw it/tneR
Amy is fourteen, feels isolated and confused, has run away once
more from h o m e . . . M i g u e l , a truant feels he has to fight to make
his mark in l i f e . . . Mrs. Wilson, a single parent of three small children, feels she has no one she can turn to . . .
"There are other factors besides
physiological ones, like hormones,
that arc involved, like experience,
cultural factors and family relationships," he maintained.
A group of Minnesota college students filed a
lawsuit with the United States Supreme Court last
week, challenging the constitutionality of the Solomon
Amendment.
The 1982 law, sponsored by Representative Gerard
Solomon (R-Glens Falls) restricts students who fail to
register for the draft from receiving federal aid for
education.
According to John Kosios, a spokesperson for
Solomon, the law is supported by an overwhelming
majority of American people and Congressmen
although it is opposed by some college students and officials.
Student Association of the Slate Univcrsity(SASU)
President Jim Ticrncy called lite law economically,
racially andsexually discriminatory, Since females are
exempt from registration the law docs not affect
them,he noted. The law also suggests that those who
don't need federal aid could avoid fegistrarion, said
Ticrncy.
Martin Edelman, Chairman of the SUNYA Political
Science department, said that while he didn't think the
law was constitutional, the Supreme Court will probably decide in favor of the law because the majority
of the current court is not inclined to decide against
Congress concerning the Selective Service decisions.
Kosios said thai Solomon is confident that the
Supreme Court will uphold the constitutionality of the
law. Kosios claimed conscicnlous objection is nol a
Icgilamale reason nol lo register, saying thai the only
way to achieve conscientious objector status is by
registering for Ihe draft. " I f students arc not willing lo
go through the proper channels then they will nol get
taxpayer's money. It's as simple as thai",he added.
When Solomon found out that sonic schools were
offering lo make up I he lost federal aid, lie introduced
a second bill, dubbed " S o n of S o l o m o n " , which
would withhold aid from students lhal did so. Kosios
said,"currenily we are not moving forward on Son ol
Solomon because we have 99 percent compliance vsiih
Ihe l a w " .
Led by University of Minnesota and Swarlhntore
College, ten schools plan to file frlcnd-ol'-lhe-cuiiri
briefs willi ihe Supreme Court.
A federal disirici cpurl judge had ruled against ihe
Solomon Amendment but an injunction in Favor unite
law was recently placed by a Supreme Cpurl judge pending the full couri hearing, Ticrncy said.
He also remarked lhal SASU plays a minimal role al
this point because " y o u can't lobby or write letters lo
Ihe Supreme C o u r t " .

" S t a f f people from the kitchen reported there was a

the Public Safely office. The .
source also said that the two
students presented identification
peaceably and were lo be referred lo Judicial Board Monday
afternoon.
UAS chef Richard Anson said
he had called U P D and that
"there was no damage d o n e . "
He refused lo answer any olhcr

The H u m a n i t i e s

policy, said Dean of Humanities
Paul Wallace.
The lounge now enjoys " a Hide bit of both worlds," explained Wallace. " I t ' s not closed as a
lounge," but open for lectures,
conferences, and
poetry
readings, he maintained.
Wallace said he had heard o f
petitions circulating to re-open
the lounge, but added lhal only
one student had been in lo speak
to him about the issue.
CROP fast
The 30-hour fast sponsored
last weekend by People and
Food netted funds " i n the
ballpark of 12,000 or $2,500" lo
combat hunger, said event coordinator Gus Ribeiro.
The fast lasted from noon Friday to 6 p.m. Saturday, and
Ribeiro estimated lhal close lo
240 sludcnls participated. " W e

Ribeiro.
Smoking curbed
The University Senate's revised smoking policy which was
placed in effect over ihe semester
break has been functioning well,
according to Plain Director Dennis Slcvens. "People have been
extremely cooperative wilh enforcing I tic p o l i c y , " he said.
The new rules, which called
for the creation o f smoking
areas in each building but did
not allow smoking in hallways in
compliance with a new slate law,

because some people felt they
were unenforceable.

U A S board member and SA

as part o f the original proposal
U A S was to have given to Dippikill

budgets for Glen House, but that
the U A S Long-Range Planning
Committee had found that they
could not decide that, issue and so
had proposed only the sale of Glen

Barsky said that SA and UAS
had been fulfilling the same function at Dippikill. " I n this instance
we were competing against each

Dippikill " w i l l never gel the electricity without the $13,000 a year,"
he maintained. He said he expects
the issue will come up at the budget
meeting in late March or early
April.
Last year UAS offered Glen
House to SA provided SA would
lake over the operating costs of the

Former SA President Mike Corso
said that the UAS offer was refused
because Ihe costs would have been

Corso said he would like to sec it

This concern was discussed al the

Zahm said that money raised
would be placed in a separate account from the general operating
funds and used for long range
capital projects.
Long Range Planning Committee
chair Neil Brown said that presently
no new programs are planned. " N o

stated.
Brown said one possibility the
committee has been discussing is a
building on campus that might include additional student recreational areas and an expanded
bookstore. A health club with
weight rooms and a sauna, and an
additional snack bar were also
possibilities, he said.
Brown said that no specific proposals were being formulated by the
committee. " W e have nol honed in

One thing Brown said must be
taken into account is the location o f
the possible building. He noted that
SUNY-Buffalo's new bookstore

Sarracco said.
Barsky said (he vote, 7-6 with Iwo

He also said he voted against the

" I felt there was nothing in there lo

Zahm said he thought that the
decision to support a subsidy was a
policy that had lo be agreed on by
the board, but that he thought there
was a need for a kosher kitchen on

221 students, down from 264

TO
It's Party time as we
he sixties had movements in art that were
consumed as fast as they were created,
but this was not so the seventies and
eighties. Robert Hughes explores modern art
and Its future In the final film of his series.
"Shock of the New." This segment Is entitled
"The Future That Was."
Rina Young
The Idea of the avant-garde movement
passed with the late seventies. The alms of the
movement were to relate art to life, through
social change and by creating a model of dissent. Hughes states that we are now In the
post-modernism period in art and that modernism Is already a part of our history.
The present social reality of art is that it
treats the present as a stage that has evolved
from the past. The myth of the auant-garde Is
that the artists can prepare for the future.
Therefore the artist "Is gripped In a parenthesis
between the past and the future."
In the 19th century, art was the main
generator of public symbols. It embodied the
values of the day and became a social conscience. What art said mattered, and It showed
that It mattered. Today, we have no credible
art because the media has taken that away.
With the advent of the museum, art has been
removed from the normal experience. The
museum's goal has been to collect as much art
as possible from all sides, and In so doing, has
changed Its function and meaning by connecting a price to the work. It is hard to look at a

Picasso without thinking about the millions
that changed hands for that one piece.
The museum has also become a retreat
wherein art can exist as It can nowhere else.
The minimalist movement is highly dependent
upon this. For how could the sculpture of a
large rectangle of bricks, as created by Carl
Andre, be considered art when put on the city
sidewalk? A piece of sculpture by Rodin In the
middle of a street would look like a misplaced
work of art. The artisltlc relevance of a collection of bricks would be overlooked.
In the movement away from all this came
the synthesis
of earth-works; otherwise
known as land-art. These are massive
sculptures out in the middle of nowhere that
the general public Is hard pressed to reach on
any given day. In their Isolation, the artists are
attempting to get out of the mainstream of the
money and culture exchange to bring back
some of the meaning and significance which
they feel ahs been lost.
Other artists refuse to create objects that can
be bought and sold. These artists have created
something that you could not own. but rather
must experience. They have created body-art
whereby they perform a sort of "high Intensity
theatre." For example. Stuart Brissly drowning in a tank, and coming up for air at the last
moment.
All of these different stages of art were a way
In which to explore the realm of the human
experience. The question arises that If avantgarde has lost its direction and functions, has

Gardner's final effort stands as an exclamation point capping his career. The Art of Fiction has a poetic quality that rises from Its

modern art lost its meaning? We have high expectations of what art should be. and when it
doesn't turn out. we blame II.
The abstract art of the seventies had an impact, "but it is equally as clear that Us Inclusive
power Is not what the pioneers had hoped."
However, in not living up to the hopes of its
artislsic masles. abstract art has not completely
lost all sense and meaning. Modernism has
not attempted to do what has not been done
before, for that would negate the theory of
continuity h] ihg concept behind the evolutionary process of art. Hughes states that the
ultimate business of painting is not lo pretend
that things are whole when they are not. but to
creale a sense of wholeness which can be seen
oppostion to the world of chaos . . thereby
rising above the familiar.
We are in an age where modernism is our
culture, and art today is a represnetation of
that. Art tries to transcend what we do in our
everyday lives to a higher level of consciousness. No level of art is purely abstract,
because it tries to reach us In ways that we
don't normally connect. The energies of art today are not reading its full potential, and this
perhaps is a reflection of our culture today.
However, it still speaks to us in its many
languages that can change our constructs of
reality. The attempt lo convey meaning in art
is inherent in the need to create.
Hughes does not attempt lo theorize about
the future of art. He leaves us with the thought
that even though ai'ante-garde is dead, art will
never be.

Sexism in the Court
T
he Reagan Administration has scored a major victory
at the expense o f equality and justice for women. A recent Supreme Court rcinlcrprctaiion of a law tying sex
discrimination to financial aid for colleges and universities
(sec story, p,I) reveals Ihc typically backwards inhumanity o f the conservative mentality, and signals a clear danger
for the rights o f minorities In this country.
Title IX o f Ihe 1972 Education Amendments used lo dictate that i f sex discrimination was discovered anywhere on a
campus, Ihe schools entire federal aid program could be
completely cut off. With the recent ruling, only aid l o Ihc
specific program caught discriminating would be lost, leaving
the college or university as a whole unaffected,
The ruling has been touted in the media as the Reagan A d - ,
ministration's first key victory in the courts over the
women's rights issue. Why would something defying and
damaging Ihc efforts to achieve equality for women be a victory for the leader o f our nation? A n d why would his administration specifically work towards seeing this damage
done.?
The answer to these simple questions can be found in Ihc
basic dogma o f the conservative movement. Generally, this
entails a worjd run by (a minority of) rich, old, white, chris-
tian men at the expense of ihc remaining billions of humans
with whom they share this planet.
Conservative activists in government, such as those who
helped achieve this debacle in the Supreme Court, desire at
all costs to preserve the status quo. In many cases, such as
human rights, they wish to sec the social progress of modern
times erased, in favor of a return lo some form of the" good
old days." Unfortunately, the 'good old days," means
discrimination against, and oppression of women and
minorities.
The Reagan Administration is obviously pursuing such a
backwards and unjust course. Criticism of Reagan's policy
towards women's rights has been constant throughout his
term. The Court's ruling, which conservatives have labored
so hard to sec passed, clearly opens Ihc doors for discrimination lo return lo America's campuses. It is a loophole around
equality and justice for women. Therefore, it is a victory for
Ihe Reagan Administration.
The influence of Reagan and the conservative movement
on the Supreme Courl will not slop al sex discrimination. Title IX is strikingly similar to Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights
Act, the backbone of Ihc accomplishments of the civil rights
movement.

The ability for a conservative administration to initiate this
kind or rcaclionary policy must be put to an end Instead of
progressing towards equality we are regressing towards on
pression, a sad and embarrassing comment on the slate of 11 '•
l
nation.
The Court's tunnel-vision interpretation o f Title IX em
phasizes Ihe urgent need for an equal righls amendment li is
absurd thai our government cannot come out with a simnle
statement that women arc equal lo men as human beings mil
should be treated as such. There must be an unconditional
commitment to fight for Ihc rights o f women against the
status quo or sexism, which Reagan and his cohorts would
love lo sec preserved. Equality, nol sexism, should be the rule
in American society.
This being an election year, Reagan's treatment or women
and minorities could come back lo haunl him. IT Democratic
candidates have the courage to highlight these controversial
issues, and volcrs have Ihc good sense lo stand up for what Is
right, Ihc wounds o r (he conservative attack on human rights
can be repaired.
The effects or Ihe Title I X misinterpretation may not be
great, but the issues il raises arc.

Unified effort
To the Editor:
As a legislative intern in the New York Stale Senate, i wish
to give an Informed response to the ASP's February 24 article on Senator Jay P. Rolison's proposed alternative to raising ihe drinking age.
In a stale where there is growing enthusiasm lor a law to
raise the drinking age to 21, it is lime lor those with vested interests in prcvcnling the passage of this legislation to wake
up! Should the drinking age be raised; Students,
Reslaurantcrs, Bar Owners, Liquor Dealers and others
would suffer enormous financial and social hardships. The
purpose o f this legislation is lo reduce Ihe number ol'alcoholrelated traffic accidents, yet it would punish all 18, 19 and 20
year olds by revoking their right lo drink. Furthermore, il
would threaten Ihc livelihood o f many bar owners who cater
to an under 21 crowd.
On February 15, Senator Jay P. Rolison, Jr. (R-C,
Poughkccpsic) went lo battle on behalf of those who would
unnecessarily sutler il' Ihc drinking age were raised to 21. He
announced his sponsorship of legislation thai would serve lo
remove the young, inexperienced drinking driver from our
roads in order lo reduce auto accidents, bul without raising
the drinking age lo 2 1 . This bill would revoke, until age 21,
ihc driver's license of any young adult convicted ol' driving
while into.xiealed. Senator Rolison offers an alternative to
raising the driking age, based on ihc lac! lhal 90.5 percent of
all 18-20 year old drivers were not involved in any alcoholrelated traffic incidents. The legislation if passed, would
justifiably punish youthful offenders who drink and drive
bin Senator Rolison added, " i l would nol affect Ihe overwhelming majority of young drivers who have demonstrated
by their clean records their ability lo handle their responsibilities."
I was astonished by ihc mixed reaction on the part o f
SASU and some ol' ihe representatives o f bar owners in the
area. As these groups comprise members who would
significantly suffer if the drinking age were raised to 2 1 , I
think they should take the lime to properly inform
themselves of this valuable alternative to a 21 *car old drinking age. In lieu of the sympathetic considerations given to a
21 year old drinking age by various factions o f the State
(along with the Governor's support), those opposed to this
possibility had belter start mobilizing support for Senator
Rolison's bill! Only with a unified, determined and focused
effort on ihe part of si udenis, bar owners and liquor associations can ihe legislators in Albany be persuaded to adopt
Rolison's bill as opposed to raising the drinking age. It is this
student's opinion that the Rolison bill could accomplish all
the objectives of raising the Stale's uniform drinking age
without penalizing the 99.5 percent of 18-20 year old drivers
who have nol abused their privileges or ignored their responsibilities.

To Ihe Edilor:
In responding (o my letter, M r . McGuirc and Mr.
McParllin proved that they are excellent writers, however,
ihey lack in the area of reading comprehension.
I never said people should be politically apathetic, I never
attacked civil liberties, Martin Luther King or Roger
Baldwin. (Thomas Jefferson, by the way, fought the tyranny
o f a British King - nol an American President or an
American government.)
Whal I did say was that there is a world of difference between constructive political involvement (working on a campaign, petitioning or writing to your representative, voiing in
an election, etc.), and unconstructive bellyaching that
borders on the realm of civil disobedience. I refer lo those
who have no ideas lor the heilertnent of our society, jus! the
usual practice of living oft' their parents libcralisiic drolc that
has become all loo common on our college campuses. The
people who openly belong 10 sociaiisi, lacisi, or communisi

To Ihe Editor:
The ASP article, 3 U N Y A Social Prats Provide Leadership, Unity, of Feb. 24, described Ihe Kappa Alpha Psi in
glowing terms. It neglected to mention However that fraternities are exclusionary groups accepting only those who meet
the criteria. Unlike academic honor societies, however,
where the criteria is very clearly defined and anybody who
works hard enough can theoretically meet the admission requirements, admission lo a social fraternity/sorority is completely arbitrary, based on whether or not Ihc candidate is
thought to be " t h e type" or if he or she will " f i t i n " . The
Kappa mentioned in the article, as well as many other social

with a I7-3 record."
there are no post-season tournaments Tor
junior varsity teams; at the end of the season,
the Danes' thoughts will be on next year and
what it will have in store for them. Only one
player from varsity is graduating (starting
forward Wilson Thomas), so there won't be
many open spots on the roster. Two players
that have the best chances of making varsity
are Corley and Chapman.
"Duane took a big step from high school
to college this year," said Boland. "Things
he did and moves he made last year just don't
work in college-level basketball. Duane's
really come along, but he still has to improve
to help out varsity."
Corley has had some trouble guarding big
guards; in the second Union game, a bigger
Ken Levine gave Corley fits in the second
half. "Duane's learned to be a little more
physical," said Boland. " H e still has to handle big guards down low, and to do that he's
got to get tough — like Dan Croutier. I'd say
that Duane's got as good as a shot as
anybody on the team."
Of all the big men on the Danes, Chapman
has shown the most consistency of them all.
"Rich doesn't like losing, and he plays that
way," said Walton. "He's a tough k i d . "
The man whose opinion counts the most is
Dick Sauers, Head Coach of Albany's varsity
learn. Said Sauers, " I like Rich. He comes
from a good, tough program and he's a good
competitor who wants to play. He's also not
afraid of contact, which is an admirable
quality in a player."
Two players that also have solid chances of
making varsity arc O'Conncll and Oliver.
Both players have to improve ihcir work
habits, according to both Boland and Sauers.
"Andy needs to be more intense and he's
got to work harder in practice," said Boland.
"To his credit, he gave it his all when lie was
in the games. He's a good shooter that might
be able to help varsity."
Oliver has always been a threat to score,
and his defensive play has been improving.
Still, there are some doublts about Oliver.
"He's got a lot of natural ability, but he's got
to push himself harder," said Boland. " H e
should play with more intensity, because
sometimes it seems that he's just going
through the motions."
As a 6 ' 2 " forward, Oliver will have to adjust his game to the shooting guard position.
" I f Curtis wants to be the two-man, he'll
have to work on his ballhandllng," said
Boland. "He's going to have to work hard
over the summer if he wants to make varsity,
but he's got a good shot."
Guards Mick Fabozzi, Scott Jankcs and
Storey will have a hard time making varsity;
the varsity squad doesn't need anymore
guards. All three players were indispensible
to the j.v. team this year.
Fabozzi didn't come out for the team until
the second semester, so he never had a chance
to get rolling. "1 feel sorry that the season's
over," said Boland. "Just when he's starting
to play well, the games run out on him."
"Scott is the type of player that helps the
team in ways that don't show up in the boxscore," said Boland. "When him and Freeze
were in the game, we played a good defensive
game."
Storey started the last seven games and did
an excellent job replacing O'Connell.
"Freeze improved quite a bit this year," said
Boland. " H e learned to use his quickness as
an asset instead of a detriment. Freeze lias to
learn to throw a pass with some touch, rather
than drilling it all the time."
Forwards John Gore, Ray LaChance and
Mann and centers Scoti Ncuman and
Sweeney will probably be thinking two years
down the road. They always give Iheir best
efforts, but ncxl year's varsity doesn't have
thai many openings.
"They're all good team players that never
complained," said Boland. "Everyone
,couldn'l play all the lime, bui when Ihcse
guys played, Ihey huslled. They're good additions 10 any learn."
There's no guarantee Ihal any player on
this year's team will make varsity next year.

Lopiano to hold Softball clinic
By Marc Barman
ASSOCIATE SPOUTS EDITOR
Come see
OPAL GARDNER
Former soft ball great, Donna Lopiano, an inductee to the National
Softball Hall of Fame, will be conducting a pitching and hitting clinic
in the University Gym, this Sunday
morning, March 11th.
The 36-year old Lopiano, who
compiled a I 3 r . pitching wonloss record wh
he played in the
Class A sol'tball .--ague, will discuss
ilic basics of fast-pitch soflball,
mainly hilling and pitching. The
clinic will begin at 10 AM and conclude al 5 PM.
Over 150 high school and college
coaches from the Eastern region
will attend and still more arc expected. Albany State students are
also urged to attend at a special five
dollar discount rate.
Besides the clinic serving to
enlighten coaches on techniques
and theories, Albany State softball
coach Lee Rhenish, who has
organized the event, hopes to raise
enough money from the proceeds
for the school to buy an electric
scoreboard for the softball field and
install a permanent fence around
the outfield.
Lopiano, who retired from competitive softball in 1978, is now
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
for women at the University of
Texas at Austin. Her career accomplishments enabled her to be inducted into the National Soflball
Hall of Fame in Oklahoma in 1983.
Thus far 78 players have received
such an honor- 46 men and 32
women.
"She (Lopiano) is more qualified
than any other clinician in the country for softball," said coach
Rhenish, who has known Lopiano
since the 1960's. "Many men
coaches know a lot about softball,
but when it comes to teaching it,
they can't break it down to the
basics."

Five women runners gain
experience at ECA C meet
By Jim Erwin
The Albany State women's Indoor track team travelled to
Bates College in Maine with only
five members to participate in
the ECAC Women's Indoor
Track and Field Championships
this past weekend. The Dane
squad was limited because of extremely lough qualifying marks
needed to participate in the
meet. The Danes that did participate failed to score in any
event, despite most members
posting personal bests.
Karen Kurthy posted an excellent time of. 5:02.6 in the
1500-meter run, setting an indoor school record. Her time
was also a personal best for both
indoor and outdoor track.
Both Mary Carmody and
Dorccn Hutchinson participated
in
the
600-yard
dash
preliminaries but failed to make
the finals. Hutchinson ran a
solid time of 1:32.2 while Carmody ran a very fast 1:30.7 for a
personal best in the event.
Bctte Dzamba may have run
the best meet of her life, setting
personal bests in both events of a
grueling 5000-meter, 3000-meter
run double. Her times of 10:56.0
in the 3000-meter run and
19:08.0 in the 5000-meter run

Albany men swimmers finish fifth in SUNYACs
By Adam Goodman
This past weekend, the Albany
Stale men's .swim icam capped
their impressive season with a
sirong fifth place finish in the
SUNYAC Championships.
Last year, the Danes finished in
Mivcnlh place, wilh 90 points. This
year, Albany finished fifth, but
more impressively racked up 191
points.
In the meet, defending champion
Potsdam was upsel by Frcdonia,
with the Bears settling for second.
Corlland finished a close third,
followed by Oswego.
For Albany, several stellar performances led them to their good
showing. Bui one performance remained seperated from Ihe rest, as
Ted Ober, only a freshman, became
the first swimmer lo lake a Gold
Medal in an event, as he won the
200-yard breastroke. In Ihe process,
he shattered the Albany school
record, with a time of 2:15.27. The
man who previously held the mark
was in attendance. He was, in fact,

finish in the 200-yard individual
medley to earn him' a ribbon for a
top twelve finish.
Although no other Albany swimmers could equal Ober's Gold
Medal status, several swimmers accomplished a great deal.
Jeff Kennedy and Mike Wright
each won 3 Individual medals: the
maximum for any one swimmer.
Wright finished 4th in Ihe 200-yard
backstroke, 5th in the 700-yard
backstroke, and 6th in the 500-yard
free style. Kennedy finished in the
lop 6 in the 200-yard individual
medley, 400-yard individual
medley, and 200-yard backstroke.
Since up to thirty swimmers may
qualify for a single event, a finish in
the top six is quite good, and a ribbon signifying a 12th place finish or.
belter is also cherished.
Jeff Ball became the fourth and
final Dane to finish in the top
twelve in all three of his events,
when he look 7th place in the
1650-yard free style.
Other swimmers such as Frank
Cawley, Fred Greenbaum, Tom
Handy, and Frank Pastier took ribbons in various events. Albany also
performed surprisingly well in the
relay events.

JV Danes 17-3, compile best record in 10 years
By Dean Chang
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Head Coach Jim Boland had one goal for
Ihe Albany Stale men's junior varsity basketball team; if he could get his players ready for
varsity, his job would be done. After a 17-3
season, it seems that Boland got more than
he asked for.
The year began with the Schenectady Community College tournament. The Danes
defeated Albany Pharmacy to reach Ihe
finals, where they met Schenectady CC.
Albany fell behind by as many as 17 in t he second half, but rallied to defeat Schenectady,
62-60. That lournamcnl provided a sample of
what was forthcoming in Ihe games ahead;
the Danes were a talented Icam that wouldn't
quit and above all, would find a way lo win.
Albany reeled off eight consecutive wins
before dropping a pair lo the Junior College
of Albany. "We weren't ready for the second
JCA game," said Boland. "We just got back
from vacation and we didn'l get enough
practices in. Still, we should have won at Icasl
one of them."
The second JCA game marked ihe last
game that former co-captain Chris Jones
would play. Jones was the team's leading
scorer and the strongest inside player the
Danes had. Unfortunately, he was declared
academically ineligible for Ihe remainder of
the season. "Chris was our best player when
he left," said Boland. "There wasn't much
that he did wrong. The learn moved faster
with him on the court, and it was easier to get
the ball inside. We really missed him."
Jones' departure left a void inside that hurt
the Danes, especially when they needed a
basket down low. "We didn't get the ball inside enough when Chris left," said Boland.
"Me used to come out hard and demand the
ball. No one else did that."
i The second loss lo JCA was noteworthy
for another reason: Rich Chapman returned
1
to form. Chapman got cut from varsity
earlier in the year and decided to gel away
from basketball for a little while. He made
his debut in the Danes' eighth game, but it
wasn't until the second JCA loss (his third
game back) that Chapman made his presence
I felt. He grabbed 10 rebounds in a strong per-
formance that indicated that he would be the
man lo replace Jones.
After a 30-poini romp againsl RPI, ihe
Danes look to the road and faced College of
St. Rose's varsity squad. This game established Chapman as the Danes' only bonafide inside player. He scored 20 points, snared 11
rebounds and blocked five shots in the 82-66
victory. "Rich definitely took up the slack as
our inside player and as a leader on the
learn," said Boland. "He hils the boards so
well; without him, we would have been in
deep trouble."
One thing that Ihe Danes were guilty of
was inconsistency. There would be games
when an observer might wonder if he were
watching [he varsity learn by mistake. And
then there were times when that observer left
for want of a belter game, perhaps at the
YWCA. The second game againsl RPI would
be one of several games lhat would have
made the observer leave.
RPI's junior varsity team would be hardpressed lo defeal a good intramural team. It
wouldn't lake any effort for Albany lo beat
RPI and the second RPI game proved it. The
Danes sleepwalked their way lo a lethargic
20-point victory, a game thai should embarrass Ihe players just by being associated with
it. The victory did have one bright spot; Curtis Oliver.
"Curtis seemed to be Ihe only guy who
came ready lo play," said Boland. Oliver
scored 26 points and pulled down nine rebounds in an excellent performance. The
game appeared to boost Oliver's confidence,
as he began lo gel more involved on offense
in the next few games. The Danes' next opponent was Union. Oliver connected for 17
points, but more importantly, carried the
learn down the stretch. With three minutes
left to play and Ihe Danes up by only three,
Oliver stole Ihe show. He scored six straight
points, four of them foul shots, to seal the
victory over Ihe Dutchmen.
Albany's next game against New Paltz, as
well as Ihcir previous game against Union,
demonstrated how well Ihe Danes can play
when Ihcy play like a team. Cood learns seem
lo bring out the best in the Danes, and New
Paltz was certainly a good Icam. Albany got
solid play from Chapman, Oliver, and guards
Duanc Corley and Freeze Storey lo defeat the
game, starring Corley, Oliver and Storey.
Boland had so much confidence in their stall
lhat he used it with more than 12 minutes to
play in the game. Corley is the man who
makes it all work. "Duanetook big strides to
becoming a leader," said Boland. "As Ihe
year went on, Duane realized that he didn't
have to score 20 points to lead our team. His
job was lo set up the offense and to work the
ball around. He's really progressed this
year."
If one can find fault with Ihe Dane offense, it would probably be the lack of patience against zone defenses. "We relied too
much on the jumpers againsl the zone," said
Boland."Instead of being patient and looking for the good shot, we would rush our
shots off." This impatience was shown in the
Danes' last game of the year against Hudson
Valley CC.
Albany's impatience doesn't always have
negative results: when the shots arc falling,
Ihe Danes will win despite [heir impatience.
But when they're nol firing, Ihe Danes look
awful.
Hudson Valley held a 15-point bulge after
Ihe opening minules of [he second half.
Albany then played the bcsl 15 minutes of
basketball that you could ever expect lo see
from a junior varsity team. "We looked like
a learn out there," said Boland. "When I
broughl guys in off the bench, they filled in
well. We prclty much did whal we warned lo
againsl Hudson Valley." The Danes came up
a baskcl shorl lhal game, which left Ihcm one
win shorl of 1974's record of 18-2.
The Albany press shook up HVCC during
, the second half, causing turnovers every
year in review
Hawks, 80-74. But once again, il was Oliver
who look control of the game in Ihe last three
minules. With the score 66-65, Oliver scored
eight straight points (six of them from Ihe
line) and 10 of the team's last 14 points to
capture the victory.
The New Paltz victory was the first game
for Ihe Danes wilhoul shooting guard Andy
O'Conncll. O'Connell left the team for personal reasons. With O'Conncll gone, Albany
found themselves without a true outside
shooter. "When he hit those outside shots,
we were very lough to beat," said Boland.
"We missed him."
The Danes now had a new look lo their offense. In the early pan of the season, the
learn was a Fast-breaking team that could
score in almost any manner. When Jones
left, the Danes began lo rely on the jumper.
. But without O'Connell, the emphasis on offense went inside to Chapman and Oliver.
The following game againsl Onconla
underlined Ihe change; Chapman scored 25
and Oliver hit for 21 as the Danes beat the
Red Dragons, 69-62.
Albany was a team of streaks throughout
the year. The Danes had two eight-game winning streaks sandwiched around a two-game
losing streak. Against Hamilton, the team's
16th win, Albany was streaky on the court.
The Danes played horribly for the first 14
minutes of the game, but then ran off 11
straight points to take an eight-point halfiime
lead. In the opening minutes of the second
half, the Danes outscored Hamilton 10-2 lo

STAFF UHITER
The Albany State Women's basketball
team saw their season come to an end Friday
night in the first round or the ECAC tournament. The Danes bowed to second-seeded
Nazareth College at University Gym by a
score of 64-47.
A quick glance at, the statistics clearly
shows where Albany lost the game. The
Danes had the advantage from the floor,
making 23 field goals to the Lady Flyers' 21.
Albany even outrebounded Nazareth, a team
with six players over 5'I0". But once again it
was poor foul shooting that did Albany in.
The Danes made only 5 of 16 frceihrows
compared to the 18 of 18 the Lady Flyers hit
on.
With 3:45 to play, the Danes were trailing
54-45. During the next two minutes, their
lough defense held Nazareth scoreless.
However, in that time span, Albany proceeded to miss the front end of three one and one
situations. "If we had hit those free-throws it
would have been a different outcome,"
remarked Albany Head Coach Mari Warner.
"The line really killed us."
A major concern for Warner coming into
ihe game was the height advantage Nazareth
possessed. The Danes put forth a valiant effort on the boards and oulrcboundcd Ihe
Lady Flyers 48-34. "They outsized us, but we
still oulrcboundcd them, " said Warner. "If
we had a halfway decent offensive night, it
would have been a differenl ballgame."
The offensive troubles started for the
Danes midway through the first half. Rainny
Lesane's basket with 10:29 remaining pulled
Albany within two points, 12-10. Nazareth
then went on a tear, scoring 18 unanswered
points to widen their lead to 30-10. The

Albany trackmen finish close third in SUNYACs
By Mike Turkady
Head Coach Bob Munsey described his
team as "running at three-quarter speed"
because of pcrsonel lost to flu and injury, bul
the Albany Slate men's indoor track learn
was still able lo generate 60.5 points for third
place at the SUNY conference championships held at Fredonia this past Saturday.
The host Blue Devils dominated the meet
scoring 216 points to runner-up Cortland's 79
points, while Buffalo State totaled 53 points
for fourth and Gcncseo surprisingly outpointed Binghamton to slip into fifth place.
As sure as death or taxes, Marc Mercurio
won the 35-lb. weight throw becoming
Albany's first SUNYAC champion Saturday.
The junior weighiman was able to produce
the winning toss of 47'4" on his first attempt
in the finals of the competition, Munsey explained,"That mark isn't really meaningful
because they were throwing in 20-degrec
weather with a weight 14 ounces over the
limit. The important thing is that when push
came to shove, Marc look first place." The
win stretches Mercurio's undefeated streak lo
ten straight. "I've still got some work lo

got as good a shot as anyone at winning
Stales. They all know my name now."
Members of other teams must have been
wondering who the heavy-built guy from
Albany was when sophomore Chuck Bronner
passed teammate Ian Clements to take the
lead in the 5000-mclcr run which he won in a
personal-best time of 15:24.3. Clements was
unable to match Bronner's kick and finished
second in 15:27.9, marginally improving his
own personal best. Said Bronner, "I'd been

The Dane cause also got a big boost from
captain Ed McGill's second-place finish in
the 3000-meter run. Around 2400 meters into
tile race, McGill let Fredonia superstar Kevin
Rumsey gel a lead, and then closed the gap
steadily in the last 100 meters, but was unable
lo calch him. McGill's lime of 8:40.4 was
within a second of Rumsey's new meet record
of 8:39.9.
Captain Paul Mance recorded a besi-ever
mark in the triple-jump Saturday, but finished fourth in the exceptionally tough field.

Gee, last week Ian lapped me, bul I felt pretty good Saturday." Coach Munsey evinced
surprise, "It was the most unexpected performance in my coaching career. For Chuck to
be SUNY champ...the crowd was shocked, It
really gave the whole team a lift,"
In a brave effort, junior dislance-acc Jim
Erwin took third in Ihe 1500-meter run
despite a mild allergy attack and a lingering
chest cold. "The Fredonia guys (Ken Talbol
and Chico Purcio) up front weren't really
taking it seriously, but I just wasn't healthy
enough to make them work for it." Erwin
noted, "We'll see them again at Stales,
though."
Other notable Dane efforts include John
Reilly's fifth-place finish in the400-mcler run
and Bruce Van Tassel's fourth-place finish in
the 50-meter high hurdles. Senior Andy
Callari ran a superior double recording a
solid split in the fifth-place 4x400-metcr relay
and a split of :52.9 in the fourth-place
distance medley relay. Freshman Mike Haus
was clocked at 2:05 for his 800-meter leg of
the same distance medley relay, which was a
personal-best time for him. Senior Rcj

with his mark of 13'0" to round out the
Albany scoring,
"Our team was missing key people because

Alcohol Policy
to Univ. Senate
Christine Reffelt
All students interested in having a keg party should do so in the near future because,
according to Vice-President for Student Affairs Frank Poguc, a new policy is currently
being proposed which would prohibit
students from having kegs in suite rooms.
According to policies set by Ihe alcohol
committee, "The Stale University of New
York at Albany (SUNYA) is commiltcd lo
maintaining an academic and social environment conducive 10 Ihe inlellcclual and personal development of students and to the
safety and welfare of all members of ihe
university community."
The proposal will go lo tile Sluclem Affairs
Committee qn March 16, Then to cxcclutlvc
committee on April 5, wilh the final decision
being made al the full Senate meeting on
April 9.
The proposal, aimed al curbing excessive
drinking, included suggestions by the University Alcohol Policy Review committee, which
Is made up of both students and faculty
members. According to Poguc, the committee was "unable to reach an agreemenl of
alcohol in suites." Some members staled thai
the suile room is a private space, and
therefore students should be entitled lo any
form of alcohol'.
Other members however, stressed the
aspect of education, saying Ihat Ihe university has ihe responsibility to preserve the environment and make the campus conducive
to education.
Poguc, then, decided to compromise. "A
clean, safe environment musl be created," he
said. "I am not restricting parties," he stressed, "bul just reducing the amount of alcohol
in rooms."
Jeff Schneider, Vice-President of Student
Association, disagreed wilh Poguc, saying
that eliminating keg use would not solve Ihe
alcohol problem. "I don't like Ihe idea of only having beer balls in suites," asserted
Schneider, "because students can just as easily buy ten beer balls or ten eases of beer. The
keg ban would be impractical," he added.
In addilion, Schneider feels thai students
have not abused their right lo have kegs in
suites, and therefore the right should not be
taken away from Ihcm. "The proposal is a
slight infringement on students' rights,"
Schneider maintained, "because students
should not be given limits which are not legally defined by law."
SA President Rich Schaffcr agreed with
Schneider, saying Ihat "restrictions will only

One option is student housing al Ihe Thru way House.
Thruway House weighed as
alternative to Wellington Hotel
By Bob Gardinier
STAFF IIRITFH
The sale of Ihe Wellington Hotel has
brought aboul the question of what will happen to Ihe 150 students that arc housed there;
the'administration has noted the possibility
of housing at Ihe Thruway House Mold
across from Ihe uptown campus.
The sale by the city of the Wellington
Hotel was announced February 22 by Albany
Mayor Thomas Whalen III. Albany physician Michael A. Blase purchased Ihe building
for $1.25 million and plans lo convert it into
luxury apartments or condominiums. At the
lime of ihe sale Michael A. Blase Jr., Ihe
physician's son and business parlner, told the
ASP the students should be able lo continue
to live al Ihe hotel throughout the spring of
1985.
Affirming the conlcntions of Ihe new
owners of the hotel, Director of Residential
Life John Martonc said, "I have contacted
the Wellington and it is our expectation thai
there will be housing there through the next
year."
Bill planning ahead lo the future, Martonc
said that there has been discussions wilh Ihe
Thruway House over the possibility of housing students there on a permananl basis.
"We are talking lo the Thruway House and
they are very positive aboul il, they arc very,
very receptive," he said. He said thai they
have discussed the number of beds available,

because ihe proposal would have amended a
decision al this pasl Friday's meeting lo
decrease ihe subsidy within 3 years to $25,000
a year. '

enormous increase in (he utility rates," he
said. He pointed otil ihat Ihe state charged
UAS $250,000 litis year, but was asking for
$397,000 for ncxl year.
Zahm broke down ihe increase, saying Ihat
approximately 3.7 percent would go lowards
Ihe utility bill, while the rest would pay for
the expected higher costs of food, paper produels, and insurance, and for Ihe six exlra
serving days.

4.7 percent, Zahm said, although two years
before no increase was made.

the six exlra serving days in ncxl year's
budget, Zahm maintained "there's two exceptional situations litis year Ihat we haven't
met before."

price of a breakfast; lunch, and dinner plan
would be $1,033 ncxl year, as opposed lo Ihe
