Voter sign-up drive peaks in October 4th effort
NYPIRG registration booths in New York City 'mobbed'; Albany's push called 'successful'
By Rick Swanson
STAFF WHITE*
While NYPIRG voter sign-up booths in
New York City were "mobbed" with people, tables set up in Albany were not quite
as busy during Thursday's statewide voter
registration drive.
Susan Stanler, New York City Coordinator for the Public Interest Research
Group's (NYPIRG) registration drive, said
the response Thursday in the city to'the
Millions more on October 4 effort has
been "wild and amazing; I can't get over
it."
Noting that in Times Square alone seven
sites were "mobbed with people," Stanler
said it was "by far the largest drive I have
ever seen."
Though the turnout in Albany did not
match New York City's response, Albany
coordinator Reese Knorr said that Thursday's drive was definitely successful.
"Things went pretty well," Knorr said
of Albany's effort in the voter registration
drive.
"People are glad to register to vote,"
said Knorr. "Most of them did not even
know how to register, and if we didn't approach them they never would have."
NYPIRG's drive, which started at the
beginning of the fall semester had
registered more than 60,000 voters before
culminating in Thursday's statewide
effort.
New York City NYPIRG volunteers,
working on the streets, in movie lines and
in bus stations were flooded with people
seeking to register to vote, Stanler said.

Zappala quoted one newly registered

Democratic box.
NYPIRG is a non-partisan organization. Zappalo stressed that he had not tried

Zappala, noting that elderly members of

been registered since the effort began at
the start of the semester. She pointed out
that Student Association at the University
and Student Association of the State
University (SASU) were part of the campus voter registration drive.
NYPIRG joined with other groups to
boost voter registration and voter turnout
as part of the national effort sponsored by
the National Student Voter Registration
Campaign. The New York Citizen's Coalition (NYSCC), the National Organization
of Women (NOW) and the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) were all part of the
effort To strengthen the voting power of
traditionally disenfranchised groups.
These traditionally disenfrachised
citizens, according to Knorr, consist mainly of minorities, the poor and women.

Speakers say Berkeley protests had ironic result
By Lisa Mirabella
STAFF WHITE*
As an ironic but direct result of the free speech movement of the 1960's, American Universities have become
more bureaucratic and depersonalized, asserted many of
the speakers at a conference Thursday entitled "Berkeley
Revisited."
Thursday was the first day of the two day conference,
held at SUNYA.
Professor Larry Spence of Penn State University, a
graduate student at Berkeley in 1964, said that contrary to
what the students were fighting for, universities have
Blackout caused by
faulty safety device
By Heidi Gralla
and James O'Sulllvan
A fire in a voltage switch was the cause of Tuesday
night's blackout, which left the podium and State
Quad in the dark for about an hour, starting at 8:50
p.m. according to SUNYA's Physical Plant Director
Dennis Stevens.
The fire was caused by the failure of a "fail-safe
mechanism" in a voltage switch in the Lecture Center
sub-basement. When the switch was turned on last
week, it did not lock into place properly, creating a
poor connection for the electricity to travel through.
The damages, Stevens said, would cost physical
plant about $10,000 to repair.
Plant employees were able to restore electricity
Tuesday night by switching State Quad and the
podium to the campus' other two power feeders.
Stevens explained that the whole campus could actually be powered by one feeder, but that the system was

become less personal and, "the daily routine of a faculty
member is more like that of a corporate executive than a
professor."
Major administrative changes that came, about in
response to sit-ins and student demonstrations were
evaluated by Berkeley professor Charles Muscatine.
Muscatine had chaired a committee which, through a
report, helped make far reaching changes at schools
across the country.
The report, issued in 1966, was called "Education at
Berkeley," and started a trend across academia of
"reconnecting, at a deep level, (faculty members')
research with (their) teaching, (and) treating students as
individuals," Muscatine said.
He credited the committee and the report for the
widespread establishment of student evaluations of faculty, student membership on faculty and administrative
committees, and creating stipends for teaching assistants.
Muscatine said he was disheartened to look at what is
going on at Berkeley now, as many of the committee's
policies have been changed or discarded.
"One of the negative effects of the free speech movement," he explained, "is that many of the ideas are
tainted with political radicalism."
His list of discarded programs ranged from the liberal
pass/fail system that has been curbed considerably, to
voluntary faculty advisement, designed to avoid
uninspired advisors for undergraduates, which has left
10,000 Berkeley students with no advisors at all.
There were, however, many positive effects of the
movement that Muscatine, and his (then) colleague
Sheldon Wolin, now at Princeton University, mentioned.
"There was a comraderie," Wolin explained, "a feeling of belonging to something important, that people
were willing to sacrifice their time for." He said, that
before these developments, Berkeley "was a campus
without Blacks. It was a campus without Chicanos. A
campus where Orientals were seen and not heard, and
women were not considered significant."
A different perspective came from history professor
Warren Roberts, who said, "Berkeley was a paradise
when I left in 1963. I was baffled by the explosion of
revolution because one could do all that one should be en-'
couraged to do at a university," at that time.
Participants took exception to Roberts' statement. One
person noted that, "it was not paradise for women who
were patted on the head and told to go make babies."
'...many of the ideas (of the
free speech movement) are
tainted with political
radicalism."
—Charles Muscatine
SUNYA Political Science professor Bruce Miroff was
starting his third year as an undergraduate at Berkeley
when the protests began. After two years of what Miroff
said was a "lousy education," the free speech movement
gave students a vision of a "university as an immensely
exciting place...where everything could be explored and
everything was connected."
Warning the audience that he would "indulge in a little
nostalgia," Miroff spoke of the "moral seriousness"
with which members (of the student protests) would approach political decisions. "Pressure made us reason out
why it might be legitimate to break the rules...why you
boycott classes when you want better education," he said.
The speakers said they saw the 1964 protest at Berkeley
as the beginning of a decade of Important political activity. Conference organizer Anne Roberts explained, "It
was really an event of tremendous significance, and not

New York
(AP) New York Telephone was granted an
$11.6 million rate increase and a one-year
surcharge of S31.1 million Wednesday by
the Public Service Commission.
The new surcharges take effect October
10.
The surcharge dispute involved how the
company split some $31.1 million in costs
between interstate and intrastate operator
expenses.
"The court upheld our position that
$31.1 million of operator time expenses
should be allocated to intrastate operation
costs," said John Quinn, a telephone company spokesman.
He said no decision has been made yet
on whether the surcharge will show up one
time only on consumer bills or be spread
out over time. How much it will mean for
the average residential phone has not been
determined yet.
"The rate change on the depreciation
expenses is a matter of pennies a month for
the average home phone bill," Quinn said.
During an emotional eight hour
meeting Wednesday night, which
included heated arguments and
charges of racism, Central Council approved one of two contested
appointments of minority
students to Student Association
positions.
Council okayed the appointment of Oscar Lozano to Assistant Elections Commissioner, but
after two separate votes, denied
Laura Johnson a position on the
University Auxilliary Services
(UAS) Board of Directors.
The debate, which was puncuated by frequent shouts for
order from Council Chair Mitch
Feig, included discussions and
arguments on affirmative action
policy and the SA interview
process.
After approving several other
appointments, including two
minority students, without
debate, council moved to con-
sider Johnson's appointment to
the UAS Board.
The Internal Affairs Committee of Council had deleted her
name from a bill appointing the
other 14 members of the board
because after interviewing her
they had voted against her
appointment.
All other UAS appointees were
unanimously appointed by the
committee.
The Internal Affairs committee
had opposed Lozano's appointment by a vote of 4 - 0.
SA has a two-tier interviewing
process, which was questioned
throughout the meeting. All applicants are screened by an executive committee. Those approved are then interviewed by Internal Affairs, which makes a
recommendation to Council.

Although the SUNY Board of Trustees recently rejected proposals
which would make some SUNY schools eligible for NCAA Division I
sports, several key legislators may push to bypass the Trustees and
make those proposals state law.
Student leaders have repeatedly expressed opposition to the policy
changes and fee increases needed to go Division I, and last week the
SUNY Board of Trustees voted down proposals that would establish
an administration controlled athletic fee and grants-in-aide for student athletics, two requirements for participation in Division I sports.
Student governments currently have budgetary power over athletic
funds.
The legislature would not require approval from the Board of
Trustees to implement the proposals.
Senate Higher Education Committee Chair Kenneth LaValle is currently working to get a better impression of which specific campuses
are interested in pursuing this (Division I sports)," according to
LaValle's spokesperson Mary Ann McLean-Austen.
"The issue isn't dead," she stated.
It could be a serious threat, said Student Association of the State
University President Sue Wray, adding,"if we face the question again
it will be on that front (the legislature)."
"When the legislature believes a particular interest is not being considered by the people directly in charge" it will step in, said McLeanAustin.
According to McLean-Austin, many SUNY students have independently informed LaValle's office that they are interested in
Division I participation. She added that "many (students) choose not
to go to SUNY" because the state system does not sponsor Division I
sports.
"Don't student governments represent the students?" Wray
demanded, adding, that she believes that the "overwhelming majority " of students are not in favor of a move to Division I sports.
A bill which would have required the Board of Trustees to establish
grants-in-aide for athletics and a student-approved athletic fee was ,
proposed late last spring in the legislature, but was never voted on in
either house.

ROTC protests ban on Campus Center tabling
Council votes to continue stance
By Tom Bergen
Central Council voted to uphold its decision to bar ROTC from
tabling in the Campus Center, even though several cadets attended
the meeting Wednesday night to protest the resolution.
.The Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) pays students to train
to become commissioned Army officers. Since Army policy does not
allow gays or lesbians to become officers, Student Association officials decided their non-discrimination policy and ROTC's policy
conflicted.
The original resolution banning ROTC was passed 15 - 3
September 19, Wednesday's vote to rescind the resolution failed
16-5.
ROTC had been unaware of the resolution when it was first passed.
The cadets attended Wednesday night's council meeting to explain
their opposition to the decision.
Although the resolution does not bar ROTC from any other
recruitment activity on campus, ROTC cadets said they felt that denying them tabling rights in the Campus Center would seriously
hamper their recruitment efforts, and negatively affect the future of
ROTC on campus.
"ROTC is designed to be a part of the curriculum of the Universtiy
and as such it is open to any student otherwise qualified to attend any
other course offered by the school," said ROTC Captain Jim Daron.
"There is no reason why a homosexual could not take ROTC,"
Capt. Daron maintained, adding that the Army's commissioning program is separate and distinct from ROTC.
However, SA contended in their resolution that allowing all
students to participate isn't enough.
"The goal of the vast majority of SUNYA students when enrolling
in ROTC courses would be the attainment of a placement in the formal commissioning program," from which gays and lesbians are excluded, the resolution stated.
Opponents of the resolution pointed out that many students on
campus rely on ROTC scholarships for their education.
They also contended that the resolution would deprive ROTC of its

A SUNYA professor whose research
was inspired by a 60 Minutes segment on
alcohol and pregnancy, has been awarded a
five year, $282,000 grant to continue his
studies.
Associate Professor of Psychology Edward P. Riley has received a Research
Scientist Development Award from the
National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism, to study the effects of low
doses of alcohol on the fetus.
"The grant will enable me to be free of

"With exposure to high alcohol levels,

occur with exposure to alcohol are quite
serious. The children can have IQ's of 100

To show that low alcohol doses effect

"Rats can be raised in a constant environment and be fed only alcohol," he explained. "We can easily control what they ingest and study their genetic makeups."

The SUNYA administration is hoping to cut its phone bill by $114,000 next year.
A new multi-million dollar phone system is being installed in SUNYA's faculty and
administrative office. The entire system is expected to be in service by the end of
March 1985, according to Karen Zimmers, SUNYA's Director of
Telecommunications.
The"system has been leased from Continental Telephone Company (Contel) for a 10
year period. It will replace the New York Telephone equipment now being rented.
The new system will not, however, be extended to the quads. Only administrative
and faculty offices will receive the equipment, said Zimmers.
Zimmers explained that SUNYA decided its new system could not offer competitive rates to students, because the new system will only provide a savings on
business phones.
At SUNY-Binghamton students are paying several dollars a month more than
NYNEY rates, using a new system that was established there last year to replace both
administration and dormitory phones.
Zimmers said many schools were consulted before the decision not to include the
dorms in the system was made. Binghamton, SUNY Brockport, RPI, College of
St.Rose, and Russel Sage College were some of the schools they asked. "Most of the
colleges were not including the students in their new systems,"Zimmers noted.
Charges for calling off-campus will still be handled by New York Telephone, said
Zimmers. With the new system a fiber obtic cable will be installed connecting the two
campuses, which will allow both voice and data communications between the two
campuses.
The fiber obtic cable offers several advantages over the current service. Administrators downtown will be better able to access the main frame computer uptown
with the cable, she said. In addition, the fiber obtic cable will allow transmission of
word processing data between the two campuses.
The Educational Communications Center (ECC) will be able to send video data via
the cable to the downtown campus as well, said Zimmers. This material will consist of
courses show on video tape, said Chuck LaMalfa, Technical Operations Supervisor of
ECC. He added that the service is scheduled to start next Fall.
Since the new equipment will not be rented, Zimmers said, additional maintenance
costs may be incurred. The equipment will come with a warrantly for the first year,
with an option to buy a maintenance contract in future years. The maintenance contract would cost .2.25 per phone per month for each of the university's 2,500
telephones, said Zimmers, adding that the maintenance contract could be purchased
at any time.
Since the administrative phones are considered business phones, SUNYA can not
get a fiat rate for local calling, Zimmers said. It is also cheaper for SUNYA to leasepurchase their own system, rather than renting from ATT, she stated.
The Contel system was chosen out of 11 bids submitted, after a three volume"Request for Proposal" was sent to 35 telephone system companies, Zimmers said.
"Contel met all the specifications and basically they met our requirements as to the
size of the system,"she added.
SUNYA required that the company have a service center within 50 miles of the campus, and that the company have a large enough staff to adequately teach SUNYA personnel how the new system works, she said.
In addition, Zimmers said, Contel was required to supply customer lists and meet a
state requirement that the company has been in operation in New York for a certain
number of years.

Student demonstrators got the results they
wanted last week when the SUNY Board of
Trustees voted down two proposals that could have
made a move from NCAA Division III to Division I
sports possible for several state schools, including
SUNYA.
At the same meeting, the SUNY board
unanimously approved a third measure that mandates the creation of a Board of Athletic Control on
each campus to administer funds for all intramural
and intercollegiate sports.
This biU, however, does not affect SUNYA
because such a board is already in existence on the
campus, according to SUNYA Student Association
President- Rich Schaffer.
One of the rejected proposals, which was voted
down 5 - 4 by the Board of Trustees, would have
established an administration controlled athletic fee
at each school. This proposal drew the strongest
student opposition.
The other proposal, defeated by a vote of 6 - 3,
would have allowed state schools to offer grants-inaid to students on the basis of their athletic ability.
The ratio of students to faculty to administrators
on the SUNY Boards of Athletic control will be
discussed by the trustees at their next meeting, according to Schaffer. NCAA regulations require that
the boards consist of at least 51 percent faculty and
administrators, and at least 33 and one third percent students.
More than 60 students packed the Board room
and later staged a sit-in opposing the proposals on
the first day of the two day Trustee meeting.
Meanwhile, students who were told that they
could not enter the 13th floor Board room because
of fire safety laws picketed outside in protest of the
proposals.
Student leaders have opposed the athletic fee, the
Boards of Athletic Control, and the grants-in-aide
to student athletes from the start, calling the moves
"an administration power grab" to take control of
the mandatory student activity fee away from student governments. Funding for campus sports currently comes out of the student activity fee.
At the Trustee meeting last Tuesday, Student
Association of the State University President Sue
Wray said that she was willing to compromise on
the issues of the Control Board and the grants-inaide, but maintained that she remained firmly opposed to the institution of an athletic fee.
"I will not accept a fee—Ican't—a fee impedes
access" to the SUNY system, Wray insisted. She
argued that the athletic fee would "open a Pandora's Box for anything." Wray is the only student
member of the Board of Trustees.
While the students stood up silently and joined
hands to express their opposition to the proposals,
Wray made an appeal to the other trustees, asking
them, "Why is it so hard to decide on this?"
She proposed an immediate vote on the issues,
arguing that "We know how people feel — you're
never going to get a concensus."
The sit-in occurred after the Board chose to
postpone its vote until the second day of the
meeting.
SASU Communications Director Eveline MacDougall said that the students then decided that
they "were not going to leave." Approximately 40
students staged the sit-in.
"They just let them sit there for a while, and then
they started getting very nervous," said
MicDougall.
The students left a few at a time for about an
hour, she said, until a "core group" of students
"took over the Trustee table and held a meeting
about how the (board) meeting had gone."
MacDougall said that, after about an hour had
passed, two Board members went up to speak to the
students about the issues, and, because of the talk,
"things have just turned around."
"I think the sit-in had a lot to do" with the
Trustees' rejection of the athletic fee and the
grants-in-aide, Wray said. She added that many
campus presidents had spoken out against the proposals at the dinner following the Tuesday meeting.
"This was very crucial to the next day's meeting
and vote," Wray said, noting that "it wasn't just
students" opposing the changes.
The proposals that were under consideration
came out of a report from the Quality of Student
Life Task Force, a Trustee appointed group that
took on campus athletics as its first topic for study.
The task force recommended that control of the
funds for intercollegiate and intramural sports be
taken out of the hand* of student governments
SUNY-wide, and be placed under the jurisdiction
of a "Board of Athletic Control" on each campus.
This proposal, task force members claimed,
would ensure that schools conform with the NCAA
bylaw requirements. Student leaders insisted that
SUNY Athletic Conference is already in compliance
with the NCAA rules.
The second action proposed recommended that
the mandatory student activity fee be lessened by
approximately 23 percent on each campus, and that
a separate "athletics fee" be charged to cover the
cost of intercollegiate and intramural sports
programs.
The third action suggested by the task force

Claims "dedication and concern" for athletes
would have changed SUNY policy to allow grantsin-aid, regulated by the Chancellor and funded
from "non-state" sources such as the athletic fee
and possibly Alumni contributions, for student
athletes.
The Trustees heard testimony from four student
representatives and from one faculty representative
during the two hour meeting, as well as explanations of the issues from Vice Chancellor for
Employee Relations and Educational Services
James Smoot.
SASU's Vice President for Campus Affairs
Thomas Swan spoke first, giving a brief history of
the Quality of Student Life Task Force and of intercollegiate sports at SUNY.
Swan accused "certain administrators," which
he did not name, of setting up the Task Force with a
pre-determined outcome, and of attempting to
railroad the three proposals through the Board of
Trustees.
He noted that there were only four students on
the 27 member task force, and that these students
voted three times to boycott the meetings.
Swan asserted that the task force was to review all
aspects of athletics at SUNY, but that "intramurals
and clubs have never even been addressed."
Schaffer discussed the issue of student control
over the funds for campus sports programs. He
quoted from a task force staff report, which he said
stated that SUNY student governments could hold
sports programs "hostage for political reasons,"
and then gave examples of student governments'
relations with campus sports to counter this
argument.
At SUNYA, Schaffer said, the average increase
per year in athletic funding over the past seven years
has been $13,000. SUNYA's student government
has shown "dedication and concern" for athletes,
he asseted, adding, "the stability argument is
basically out the window."
SUNY Buffalo Student Oovernment President
Jane McAlevey said that the proposed move to
Division I has already begun to affect Buffalo with
the loosening of admission guidelines, and with
football coaches refusing try-outs to students who
haven't played ball in high school,
President of the State University Faculty Senate
Joe Flynn said there are "critical issues facing
SUNY and intercollegiate sports is not one of
them." He said he opposed the athletic fee, grantsin-aid to student athletes, and a move to NCAA

Two or Alumni Quad Board's top posts
are still vacant after no candidate for
either office received a majority of votes in
elections held this past Monday and
Tuesday.
Run-off elections for President and Vice
President for Student Programming will
be held this Saturday and Sunday, in
Alumni's Walden cafeteria, according to
Quad Board's Vice President for Student
Development Irwin Weinstein.
Three candidates ran for President, and
three contended for the empty Vicepresidential slot, said Weinstein.
Of these, Olga Colletti and Rich Wilson
made it the presidential run-off, and Billy
Eichorn and Evan Silberberg are competing for Vice President of Programming,
said Wenistein, who is currently serving as
acting president.
240 votes were cast in the first election,
with none of the three candidates for either
office getting a majority over 50 percent of
the votes, which is required to win the election, Weinstein explained.
Warren Friss, who was elected President
in last April's election, said that he decided
to resign before ever taking the post
because of financial reasons.
Friss, currently an RA on Alumni, said
that "between school, RA duties and
working 25-30 hours a week, I had to drop
something."
Meagan McNamara, President of Quad
Board last year, decided last spring not to
run again for Quad Board's top post.
McNamara said she made her decision
because, after taking nineteen credits,
working, and serving as an Alumni RA,
she felt she would be overextending herself
in serving as Quad Board President.
"I talked Friss into running for president," said McNamara, explaining that
she thought he would be "ideal" for the
position.
"I would have liked to be President .hi.
year." said Friss in a telephone I n 2
"I had a lot of ideas that I though 2
m
m
be good for Alumni."
According to Weinstein, several com
rhi*ees will be involved with Quad Board
this year, including an Activities Commit
tee, Student Action Commit!,'
Newspaper Committee, and a YearbJ
Committee.
More committes this year will hoperullv
help things run more smoothly, and "tat
the emphasis off the Executive Board"
said Weinstein.
The Executive Board is made up of the
President, Vice President, Secretary
Treasurer and Chairpersons from «,»
Hall Council.
Alumni Quad Board will sponsor ai
least six parties this year and has already
held a welcome back party in September,
which was funded by Quad Board but run
by Alumni's RA staff, according m
Weinstein.
Friss' resignation left the post open to
anyone on Alumni Quad willing to run for
the position.
Potential candidates were required to
live on Alumni Quad for their term as
president, and they had to submit a petition with 75 signatures of Alumni
residents.
These two regulations left the post of
presidency open to anyone, including
freshmen and transfer students, Weinstein
noted, "Those are the rules. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about it."
According to Alumni Quad Coordinator
Thomas Gebhardt, the Quad Board "has
been functioning quite well" even with the
post of presidency vacant.
Gebhardt however, said that things wil
run more smoothly once the post is filled,
and he hopes Alumni will "get someone as
soon as possible" to assume the presidential responsibilities.

New podium policy bars professional vendorsRecalling the struggles to compete
By Barbara Abrahamer
A new policy governing vendors working in the campus center fountain area may
make it more difficult for Student Association recognized groups to make money.
As a result of a policy change that
University Council made early in the summer, professional vendors are no longer
permitted to sell goods in the campus
center fountain area. In the past, SA
groups have often sponsored these vendors
in exchange for a percentage of the profits.
Patty Salkin, Director of Student Programming for SA, explained that University Council decided that this practice of
sponsoring vendors not affiliated with the
university is illegal. "SA doesn't own the
podium, we don't have the authority to
rent space," Salkin maintained.
Director of Campus Life Jim Doellefeld
added that the policy's "overall objective
is to keep money spent by university
students, faculty, and staff within the
university community."
Les Mattes, a professional vendor sponsored by the class of '87, was recently asked by Doellefeld to pack up his goods and
leave, making Matles the first casualty of
the new policy.
Jackie Bernstein, president of the Class
of '87, said she doesn't understand why
the policy was changed. "This is the easiest
way for groups not funded by the Student
Association to raise money," she said.
Matles, said he was puzzled by the new
rule. "SUNYA is the hardes college to get
into to sell," he said. "Some colleges just
impose a set fee for selling privileges," he
claimed, "and at least they (other colleges)
provided tables," he added.
This year's vendors are a combination
of first-timers and seasoned veterans.
Leslie Reaves, a sophomore from what
she called "money-making Manhattan,"
has been selling cosmetics on the podium
since last month. Similarly, Mark Boyle, a

"It is the redundancy in the
system that allowed us to restore
power," Stevens said.
The two-key fail safe
mechanism designed to warn
employees of the poor connection
did not work. Over a period of
about four days heat built up in
the switch, Stevens said, resulting
in the fire Tuesday night.
At the time of the blackout,
physical plant employees did nol
know whether the back-up feeder
line for State Quad could be used
because it had been shut down by
SUNYA's power supplier for
maintenance purposes.
Buses had been brought over to
State Quad in preparation for a
full evacuation to the other
quads, when Stevens got word
that the back-up feeder for Stale
Quad could be used.
Complete power could nol be
restored to the podium, however,
until the carbon smoke from the
fire was cleaned off the back-up
switch for the Lecture Centers.
The fire, which was contained
inside the switch cabinet, about
half the size of a car according to
Stevens, was put out by plant
employees. Stevens said the fire
was so hot that the metal cabinei
housing the switch had turned
bright red with the heat.
At the Campus Center several
groups had meetings disrupted by
the blackout.

How to face up to common traffic tickets
and avoid any hassles they might cause

This article will trace the story
of a traffic ticket from beginning
to end and explain options
available to you at each step.
Remember that the general information provided here is not a
substitute for legal advice. Consult an attorney if you have questions regarding a traffic ticket.
Most traffic tickets begin with a
law enforcement officer who has
personally observed a vehicle being operated in a manner the officer believes to be in violation of

and director of Legal Services.
the law. The officer will signal to
you, the driver, to pull over to the
side of the road and stop. Once
stopped, the officer will ask to see
your driver's license, registration
and insurance card. It is a violation of the law to fail to stop
when directed to by an officer, as
is the failure to produce your
license, registration and insurance
card. These actions can lead to
additional charges.
After checking to make sure
the license and registration are
valid the officer will issue a
ticket(s) charging you with
whatever violations the officer
believes were committed. Do not
lose your cool or argue with the
officer. The officer is not likely to
change his/her mind about issuing a traffic ticket. You will have
an opportunity later to explain
your side of the story.
In New York, most traffic
charges are not crimes. This
means that you will not be "arrested," will not be fingerprinted,
and will not have a criminal
record if convicted. Thus, in most
instances, you will be permitted to
continue driving after the officer
has handed you the ticket. You
will only be placed in custody and
brought to the police station if
you are being charged with a
crime such as Driving While Intoxicated, Reckless Driving, or
Driving with a Suspended
License. Another article will
discuss your rights if you are
arrested.
The ticket will state the violation with which you are charged
and will indicate the date, time

In defense of ROTC
It is again the fall season, the leaves are turning, the air
cool, and oh yes, ROTC has once again become an issue
of heated debate here at the University. For the fourth
year in a row, ROTC has been attacked through and by
the ASP. The time has come when inaccuracy, insult, and
downright lies concerning ROTC will no longer be
tolerated without rebuttal. This must begin with a discussion of the events of last week, and the ROTC situation
on campus in general.
Timothy Taylor
Two weeks ago, Central Council voted to ban ROTC
from tabling in the Campus Center. Although a nonbinding decision in itself, this decision dictates the individual who is responsible for approving solicitations
permits for tabling to deny any request by ROTC
representatives to present written or verbal material in the
Campus Center, using designated table space. While this
act represents SA's stand on gay and lesbian rights and
their disagreement with the federal law that prohibits gays
and lesbians from being inducted into any of the armed
forces or intelligence bureaus of this nation, it represents
a violation of civil rights. Specifically, ROTC has had its
right of assembly (14th amendment) and right of free
speech (1st amendment) taken away.
The article in the September 25th issue of the ASP that
dealt with this decision was followed a few pages later by
an editorial that was riddled with inaccuracy and
uninformed attacks on ROTC and the military in general.
One of the paragraphs of the editorial specifically states,
"ROTC also discriminates against women and racial
minorities, is economically less effective than civilian
vocational programs, is a drain on our education dollars,'
and if nothing else, it exists to train people in the art of
war 'and the ignorant narrowmindedness of blind nationalism, things the world can definitely do without."
If ROTC Indeed discriminates against women and
racial minorities, then why are both these groups well
represented every summer at ROTC Advanced Camp at
Ft. Bragg, Ft. Riley, and Ft. Lewis? Why do the armed
forces, more than anyone, impose strict punishment on
those who engage in sexual or racial harrassment? Why
are these groups well represented in every segment of the
armed forces, both enlisted and officer?
It is impossible to compare the "economic effectiveness" of ROTC and civilian vocational programs.
Obviously, if some individual is enrolled in ROTC, he or
she must be enrolled in college, and therefore would not
be among those individuals who- normally apply for
civilian vocational programs.
Since I fail to understand what the Editor means when
he says, "drain on our education dollars," I am unable to'.
comment.
Despite the editorial, ROTC does not exist to train
students in the "ignorant narrowmindedness of blind nationalism." In addition to military training, ROTC
students spend their classroom time on such topics as
military correspondence, personal counseling skills,
organizational behavior, and yes, even a block of instruction on ethics and morals. To imply that men like
Eisenhower, Grant, and McArthur were engrossed in the
"ignorant narrowmindedness of blind nationalism"
because they were products of a military-officer training
program is ridiculous in itself.
The editor mentions that, we can do without being
trained in the art of war. One needs only look at history
to see how shortsighted this statement is. Imagine if we

had never fought in a war when the situaiton demanded
it. Our civil war to free the slaves and our involvement in
WWII to help free Europe from the grip of the Nazis are
examples of our necessity to learn the "arts of war." Tell
those who were at Pearl Harbor that we can do without
being trained in the "arts of war." To argue that every
war we've fought is a just war, is ridiculous; so to is it to
argue for no military training whatsoever.
The editor who wrote this editorial has never sat in on
an ROTC class or lab, nor has this individual made any
attempt to gain information from SUNY Army ROTC
concerning what is ta ight in class. Yet, he maintains that
he knows exactly what is and what is not taught. One can
only assume that his sources are poor, or that he bases his
conclusions on rumor and speculation.
As .for the "Coalition against ROTC;" form it. I
seriously doubt any of the lies, injustices, or abuses that
the Editor insists exist will have any tangibility.
Finally, on the issue of the editorial. The Editor closes
by saying that "The students have made it clear on which
side they stand." The students have done no such thing.
Rich Schaffer and Suzy Auletta may have made it clear
how they stand, but the opinion of two does not create
the stand of 13,000.
What logically follows is a discussion of the general
situation pertaining to ROTC on this campus, and a great
deal of insight needs to be lent to this topic as well.
Often, articles in the past have referred to "Army
Policy" or "ROTC Discrimination" concerning gay and
lesbian students. As previously stated, this "policy" is
not controlled by the Army, Air Force, Navy, .on Marine
Corp. It is a federal statute controlled and instituted by
congress. Despite this fact, the ASP and SA continually
threaten to remove ROTC from campus in retaliation for
the federal law. They insist on punishing cadets because
of a law ROTC has no control over. If the ASP, GALA,
and SA are so concerned on making a stand for gay and
lesbian rights, why don't they pressure congress instead
of constantly threatening a tiny ROTC detachment whose
membership accounts for less than 1 percent of the total
number of cadets in Region 1 (east coast)?
Some argue that Army ROTC on this campus violates
the University's equal access policy. The policy states,
"the University should not permit the imposition of an
inappropriate criterion, such as one's sexual or affectional preference, to bar an individual.from full access to
its educational programs, to its collateral services, or to
employment opportunities in the University." Any gay or
lesbian may take ROTC classes for four years and receive
academic credit. Some individuals belive that the commission an individual receives as an officer in the U.S. Army
upon completion of ROTC classes is still within the
bounds of "educational programs." Based upon the
policy statement, what the Army does with an individual
after the completion of his or her academic career is of no
concern to the University, SA or anyone else here at the
University, i.e. the denial of gays and lesbians into the
military because of federal law has no connection with the
University's "educational programs."
At the end of nearly every article the ASP has done on
the GALA-ROTC issue, they have written, "ROTC officials in the gym were unavailable for comment." This
is quite odd, since there is someone in that office between
the hours of 9 - 4 on Monday through Friday. The phone
number is 438-2010. The article in last week's ASP stated
that a letter had been drafted to inform ROTC that they
would be banned from the Campus Center, yet ROTC
never received any notification, written or otherwise.
Finally, in almost every circumstance, ROTC has not
been asked to discuss or provide input on their role here
at the University, or their future. Articles concerning
their activities and classes are non-existant, while inaccuracies are constantly in print. Central Council and
Schaffer are quick to push for "rights," as long as the
rights are for those they deem fit, for the time has come
for equal representation. .

n i g h t . . . partying like crazy."
John Keenan
The words are Rob Mathew's, the subject, Ronald Reagan, and the song -"Ronald
Reggae"- is the title track off of Mathew's
and partner John Foldy's new EP on Blotto
records.
The record, produced by Art Snay and
Broadway Blotto, features four original
songs by the duo, who've dubbed
themselves "The Amazing Rob and John
Band." The actual band, however, is simply
Rob Mathews and John Foldy, an acoustic
duo, with aid from various other area musicians, most notably Lee Harvey Blotto on
drums.
The album opens with a pop-rock mix
called "I Give You My Best," a "nice" song,
but not as good as the albums next three.
However, "I Give You My Best" does give
Rob Mathews opportunity to flaunt his
vocals, one of the most appealing things
about the record. Mathews, a former
SUNYA graduate student, has been
writing songs since high school - one of the
albums cuts, "Veronica Likes To Dance,"
was the product of about four years onand-off work.
The second song is the title track,
"Ronald Reggae," a novelty s,ong first performed, interestingly enough, at last year's
Telethon, where it was met with roaring
student approval. The song boasts lyrics
like:
Fidel Castro, he's there too;
plays the congas and sings "Babalool"
It's not particularly deep, but funny
enough, and the song makes for entertaining listening, if not deep satire or the reggae it's title seems to imply.
The second side opens with the album's
strongest cut, a studio mixed song called
"Long Speed," featuring a lot of electronic
wash not used on the rest of the album.
Mathews' lyrics are at there strongest here,
too; although the subject of the song (love
and cars) is nothing particularly new,
Mathews' ability to fit lyrics into the bouncy beat of the melody is probably best
described as "nifty." Foldy (who originally
wrote the tune) is fond of pointing out that
he'd written a song about ESP, and
Mathews came along and changed it to
cars speeding down the highway.
Finally, the EP closes down with another
strong pop-rock cut, "Veronica Likes To
Dance," which Mathews' calls "his" song.
Accessable and catchy, "Veronica" ends
the EP strongly, all in all a very satisfactory
first effort for two Albany boys.
Both Foldy and Mathews have been connected with SUNYA at one time or
another; Mathews, as a grad student who
took his Masters in Computer Science
here, and Foldy as a Communications instructor who's submitting his thesis for his
doctorate this May. They began playing
together a year and a half ago, and hit the
clubs about a half year later. In fact, their
first public appearance as a duo was at
SUNYA's'own Telethon, last year.
They're both employed full-time, but
are eager to publicize their first record with
hopes of a recording contract. Although
Blotto Records put out Ronald Reggae,
Rob and John hive not signed with the
label.
"We had the song, "Ronald Reggae/ and
we knew we only had a certain amount of
time with it," Mathews relates, "because
the election was coming up. There'd never
been a reason to record it before."
So Foldy got in touch with Broadway
Blotto, an acquaintance, who asked to produce the album. Naturally, Foldy and
Mathews were elated, and so, the Amazing
Rob and John Band (including Don
Mathews, Kevin C o n r o y , D a v i d
Dlugolucki, Mel Schiff, Lee Harvey and
Broadway) was put in back of the two principles, and with the production know-how
of Art Snay and Broadway Blotto, produced an EP which may not break into the
mainstream (or even make that big a dent
on the alternative) radio market, but is
nonetheless an outstanding effort by an
acoustic duo who will probably be heard
from again.
"We've been getting some airplay from
CDB and RPI," Mathews relates, "but none
from QBK, which we're a little disappointed at." Still, Mathews and Foldy are
proud of their record, and committed to
finding a market for it. "We've done Ihe
fun stuff.. .making the record, that's fun.
Now comes the work."
Neither Mathews nor Foldy could say
enough about the helpfulness of the Blotto
people. "They're supernice," Foldy said.
"Broadway was a real good producer,
Sarge helped with the production, Lee
Harvey, of course, played drums.. ."
The pair have "a lot more songs," but for
now plan to concentrate on promoting the
EP, on a local scale, with newspaper and
radio ads. The pair also play at Lark Tavem
often, and did a set during Larkfest, also.
"Even if it doesn't take off," Maihews says,
"111 always have my record to show to my
kids and grandkids." He grins. "Of course, I
hope it takes off."
The record's greatest problem might be
it's strong pop-rock influences. Although
the music is good, the "pop" tone may put
off the college stations, while the commercial stations rarely play anything that college radio hasn't been playing for five
years already. But whatever the case, Foldy
and Mathews have their record.
Of course, they'd like it to take off.
Benton Takes Troubles To Heart.
P
laces In The Heart is a motion pic- •
ture boasting top-notch performances, photography, oldfashioned nostalgia, and stark realism.
At the core though, where it counts,
stands Robert Benton. Benton reached the
pinnacle of success in 1979 when he wrote
and directed the slick but engrossing
Kramer vs. Kramer. After receiving Oscars
for his efforts, Benton turned to a thriller
called Still of the Night. This ersatz Hitchcock tribute failed critically as well as
financially.
Ian Spelling
For Places in the Heart, Benton
journeyed to where it all began, Waxahachie, Texas. In this little town four
generations of Benton's family have resided. His new film addresses and salutes
relatives who valiantly fought the depression of the 30's.
Sally Fields stars as Edna Spalding, a
young woman with two children who is
suddenly widowed when her sheriff husband is accidentally killed by a drunk
youth.
Places depends on Fields for stability as
she struggles to keep her family intact
through hell and high water. Fields does
manage to come through, transforming the
helpless widow into an independent,
tough, but loving matriarch,- just look at
her lips, eyes; and hands as the story
unfolds.
Fields' performance never rings false,
despite a feeling of deja-vu. Fields has
already won an Oscar for a similar portrayal in Norma Rae. Fortunately, her
work in Places displays the proverbial third
side of the coin, and will surely earn her
another deserved nomination.
Sterling performances are also achieved
by Danny Glover and John Maltovich as a
black cotten picker arid a blind boarder.
respectively. Places utilizes a tornado and
the Klu Klux Klan as vehicles to broaden
the depth of these unique characters. Benton allows both of them to play off each
other, just as much as he allows Fields and
her children.
Lindsay Crouse hits all the right notes as
Fields' caring sister. As the woman who inadvertantly comes between Crouse and
her husband. Amy Madigan is fine. Only
Ed Harris, Crouse's cheating husband, appears out of place. The man cannot act
sympathetically; he's apparently cut from
stone and bleeds granite. An icy stare
coupled with an emotionless voice blend to
create a member of the walking dead. We
are blessed though; his role works more as
a catalyst for Crouse and Madigan to strut
their stuff.
Benton has Nester Almendros to thank
for making Places gel both visually and
cinemahcally. Credited as Director of
Photography, Almendros creates a
believable 30's aura via lighting, armies,
and sweeping motion. The employment of
close-ups, pans, and a floating camera gives
the eye a chance to ingest the tale. Silent
story telling was the norm for years, and
used correctly, a camera can offer proof
positive of the saying "a picture is worth a
thousand words." Places in the Heart furnishes thousands of pictures and millions of
words.
Places in the Heart idealizes the struggles
of the 30's and those who struggled, win or
lose. Beating the odds makes for a
fascinating picture replete with surprise intangabies. Despite this. Places fails to tug at
the Iscartstringt. It simply lacks the emotional impact of, say, Terms of
Endearment.
Here, you care for the characters, watch
them grow and learn, but you do not
become emotionally involved. While Benton's picture is wonderful and a must see, I
left the theater questioning why I wasnt
crying.

VEL< Love... On The Edge
_,0VE
LOV
by Joseph F u s c o
went to a wedding recently..It was interesting,
to say the least (dare I say inspiring? Nan.) The
couple had been "a couple" for a couple of years
so we all assumed to decision to marry wasn't made
with a coherence one usually associates with LSD. Still,
I couldn't help but notice that the groom might have appreciated a blind fold, preferrably the kind one finds in
a shot glass. It may have been my imagination but the
bride's walk up the aisle appeared to have an historical
precedent, say, in the Long March.
It was all so final, so total, so intractable.
I wonder if they felt it.
Never mind. There was a job to be done.
So rings were exchanged, candles lit, promises made,
readings read, and parents thanked.
Dangerous
things to do in front of so many witnesses.
I wonder if they realized it.
Never mind. Pasts were concluded and a future was
charted. This young man and woman used to date.
They used to leave the cap off the toothpaste. They
came and went as they pleased. They indulged in
self-indulgences.
No more.
Now dreams will be compromised. Ambitions will
face the test of temperance. Somebody will have to
deal with the checkbook, cholic, and the burnt lasagna.
Lately these weddings are not trivial events to me. As
hard as I try to maintain a certain distance emotionally
from the significance of that which unfolds before my
eyes, I can't escape the subtle bombardment of the Big
Hints. After all, more then I'd care to admit, the people
being married are my age.
My peers.
Scares the hell out of me.
What about you?
Let's face it, if you're twenty-one or twenty-two,
sooner or later you'll come to a certain realization.
Every Move You Make Could Be Your Last.
I
Marx And Monogamy
b y M i c h e l l e Krell
M
onogamy. Just think of the word. It sounds like a disease; "Oh, Joe had to
go home for the semester. He came down with a bad case of monogamy.
Did you hear? His girlfriend has it, too!"
Not only is the word stupid and misleading, but the concept. .! Mutual romantic infliction is lewd, crude, and totally undesirable. If Marx were alive today, he'd
probably have written a manifesto on the neverending struggle between the
monogamists and the hedonists.
Revolution is the only approach we repressed hedonists can take in a world of
"Hi, honey, I'm home!" It's tough admitting you're a lefto-pinko and don't believe
in the cupidist system.
But seriously, folks, it's tough being a hedonist. How would you feel if you
were walking down the street and saw three members of your opposite sex, and
wanted to get superficially involved with each one of them? Think about it. It's
safer. You get three chances to get rejected.
Some of you may be happy with the monogamous lifestyle, and it's okay, if
both parties feel that way. Sometimes, however, monogamists become possessed
by that little hedonist devil in each of us, and indulge in others on the sly. If a
"monog" indujges with a "hedon," we ha>'e the equivalent of mixed nuts, a very
diverse but interesting combonation. If a monog secretly indulges with a betrothed monog, it's called bad philosophy.
Don't be naive. Monogamists cheat. Hedonists are just honest about the whole
deal. They lay their cards on the table. Monogamists are merely good liars.
Haven't you ever wondered why marital monogamists invest in side by side
graves? Mr. and Mrs. just isn't enough anymore. They've all got to pull daisies
together, six feet under.
Monogamy perpetuates shallow, close-minded unionsin one usually amounts to
one giant ego. Tisk, tisk, tisk, on the dionysians. They have fun, and fun
engenders bad laundry etiquette. Listen, monogs, non-fun is dirty diapers, divorce,
and yes, even death.
Escape from the three "D's" means the big "B;" yes, the bar. Monogamists say
that they do everything together. Wrong. All those husbands that go out for a
night with the boys, what do you call that!? They don't go out just for the sake of
going out. These reason why these men go out together is commiseration.
Together they bitch about the wife, the kids, etc. in between beer slugs and the
Dallas game.
"B" is also for bridge game where wives bitch about their husbands, the job, and
the children. Do you really think that any monogamous woman really gives a
damn about trumps? Do you really think thast any monog man cares about
Donanld Trump's football team? If you do, you're way behind primeval wo-nian.
Speaking about primevals, Darwin was right. Hedonists may have fun, but
monogamists have proved the theory of survival of the fittest. Many hedonists
have converted because many monogamous relationships have proven more
fulfilling as well as lasting. This article is proof of that. Its writer was born of a
monogamous relationship that still continues to flourish.
So what's the purpose of "Marx and Monogamy?" There is none. It's just here
to make you laugh, but hopefully it will make you think, really think.
Q
Don't fret. I'll explain.
When you were younger, and I assume all of you
were once, you may have dated with wild abandon.
You looked for relationships and relationships came
and went. Relationships were one of the many passages
in your life.
Relationships.
Relationships.
Relationships.
But regardless of the tumult, regardless of the joy,
regardless of the warm fuzzies, regardless of the security and insecurity, you knew you could, you must, live
to love again. Nothing was final, total, or intractable if
you were careful.
But as you approach the erid of your college career
Let's
face it) if
you're
twenty'one
or;
twenty'two,
sooner or laterlyou come to
a certain realisation.
Every movs you
make
could be your last.
the situation becomes moreind more precarious, more
and more serious and you twgin to solemnly abandon
your wild abandon.
You are running out ol causes.
Heaven help you if you inould fall in love. You're
educated, you're approachingja career and you have in
come potential. I wonder if llie thought that if you ever
should stumble into a serioa relationship or wake up
tomorrow and find yourself jn love it would be final,
total, or intractable is some III ng you've considered,
It's nearing that time of on •lives.
Choices have consequence
Suddenly relationships r^uiere serious consideration. We all have ambitions 11 d desires. Medical school
is difficult to swing when a small mouth demands cons-
tant spoonfuls of Gerber's strained beets. That first
novel, undoubtedly the Great American novel,
somehow finds itself buried under gas bills, phone bills,
and the front lawn, which is now knee high. The
"Porsche" is really a 1978 Ford Pinto.
Not that it can't be done, but at this stage, relationships may have a tendency to take on a life of their
own. They may snowball and you may find yourself inextricably linked to another soul. Not that it's such an
awful situation to find yourself in, but as you approach
the end of your college years, it may not fit into the ole'
Game Plan.
I know several people who have a tendency to shy
away from relationships, because although they find
being in love satisfying, they fear that a kiss is not "just
a kiss," a sigh not "just a sigh." Many feel that to start
something at this age, so close to that B.A., still building
those dreams, is to secure a denial of the goals in their
future. Their lives and ambitions are centered on
freedom, and the commitment to the ambitions of
another person as well as their own threatens to drain
the life from that freedom.
I know still more people who, past that stage, found
strength in another person while pursuing that career,
that novel, those dreams. Someone to draw on, someone to lean on.
I don't have any answers for you. I could never attempt that impossible task.
The point is, we're older now. I've noticed a lot of
people my age making those final, total, and intractablechoices, and I can no longer pride myself in distancing
my emotions from the encroaching reality that someday I, too, will require this responsibility from myself.
One day I may irreversibly identify with that bride and
groom, and it scares me. It scares me because I may not
yet be the person I want to be, the person I want to present to the person I make that promise to.
It scares me because I may wake up tomorrow and
find myself in love.

hung up the phone, drained. My right ear felt red and sweaty from too
much time pressed against the reciever, and the palm of my hand had red
imprints from gripping the phone so tightly. My chest ached from holding
in sobs. I was in love, of course. Dammit.
I went straight to the bathroom, which I generally did after Judy's calls. I winced
as 1 switched on the light, the sudden brightness a jolt after (he dimness of my

I once had a story published in my college paper about the trials and tribulations
of trying to remain true to my high school sweetheart, back when I was a romantic and idealistic freshman. Now, a slightly older and tougher sophomore, I pushed
my hair back over my forehead and looked at the tearstreaks running down my
face. My eyes were red from crying. Like a baby. Like a lovesick freshman. Like
an idiot.
I scooped up a handful of the cool tapwafer and dashed it in my face, fo fix me
up and calm me down, and raised my dripping face fo stare in the mirror once
again. Jim Lopresti, epitome of Ihe lovesick sophomore, pining for a girl a hundred

When I was seven, long before love had reared it's ugly head, in the high summertime I once caught twenty-two frogs at one time, in the span of a week. Being
very proud of myself, for I was egotistical even as a seven year old, I interred them
in my father's toolbox, which had been emptied and filled with an appropriately
impressive amount of mud, grass, and dead leaves for the occasion. With visions
of a Frog Farm, and tycoondom selling frogs to the other neighborhood boys (for I
was greedy as a seven year old, also) I pul the toolbox on a high shelf in the garage
and went away, promptly forgetting about them.
For two weeks.
When I was 18, five days after my birthday, I was delivering a carload of invoices for my father (who was a printer; more egotistical, less greedy). In a hurry,
for what seemed like a fantastic reason at the time, I pulled off onto a side road
after realizing that I'd been travelling in the wrong direction for upwards of twenty minutes. After spinning Ihe car around quickly, in a manuever only 18 year old
drivers seem to know and use, I pulled quickly back onto the main road.
Completely failing, as 1 was told later, to see the red light.
I sal in my suiteroom for about an hour after Ihe phone call. I thought about
crying. About wanting. About saying "1 wish I could marry you now," and feeling
really stupid immediately afterwards. I thought about all the things the word love
had ever connoted to me in my brief experience of it, and the thought that kept
flashing in my mind is the thought I had as I saw that white Buick Electra bearing
down on me, impossibly big and too fast to stop, the thought that sprang to mind
when, a long time ago, I'd thrown open the lid of that toolbox (two weeks later)
and the ripe smell of twenty-two dead and rotting frogs wafted up to me; An incredible mistake has been made, and I've just screwed up my whole life.
Love. Gift of the gods.

distanced from the main theme, which is
supposed to be child-neglect. Throughout
the film, little Casey is barely noticeable.
There are plenty of scenes in which the
adults are having fun or buying clothes
while the child sits in the corner and reads
a book. She is brought into the main picture occasionally, but we feel little relation
to her. She is rarely shown interacting with
others; we are not sure how she is affected
by all that goes on.
rreconcilable Differences, a new
movie which opened at Crossgates
last week, features Ryan O'Neal
and Shelley Long as two parents who have
been taken to court by their daughter.
Drew Barrymore plays the nine year old
Casey Brodsky, who attempts lo divorce
her parents for neglect. The film is essentially a morality play, dealing with the
.inhappiness brought about by fame and
fortune in West Coast high society. It's as if

The film is built on a series of flashbacks
dealing with the meeting and ill-fated marriage of Albert and Lucy Brodsky (O'Neal

Lucy, headed west. The two tall in love,

The director, Charles Shyer, maintains
his genuine sense of humor throughout.
When Lucy and Albert are at their most
snotty, they are most laughable. As each
becomes wealthy, she surround themselves
with a comical crew of hangers-on. For instance, when Albert plays tennis with his
girlfriend, they act like royalty on the
court. The game is even filmed in slow motion, letting the audience soak up the wellto-do image.
Irreconcilable Differences does offer
some interesting camerawork at times, during which the camera is used to really communicate with the audience. At Christmas,
as Lucy sils depressed about her divorce,
the camera darts around her apartment. It
picks up on her loneliness; we see an empty mantelpiece, a single string of holiday
garland, her mute typewriter. You feel for
her. Unfortunately, such introspective
cinematography is rare.
Taken on the level of an entertaining,
big budgeted soap opera, Irreconcilable
Differences is not bad. It moves with such a
rapid force that you can overlook it's
general insensitivity. However, as a piece
of social commentary, as which it appears
to have been intended, it fails. Irreconcilable Differences could have been a really good film, with a relevant subject and a
worthwhile story to tell. That good film

A Band That's A Blast
T
his Sunday, October 7th, the folks
in attendance at Fallfest '84 will be
in for one of the biggest treats of
the year. The featured band will be one of
the top American bands around, the
Blasters.
tour. Next came their critically acclaimed
debut album. The Bitten. Unfortunately,
the public didn't bite, although they did
manage 60,000 sales.
They then released a live EP recorded in
London, for which they caught a lot of
critical flak. Critics said that Alvin couldn't
write anymore, which was far from the
truth. The band just wanted to release a
party record, and help push their European
tour, in fact, it's Dave Alvin's consummate
talents as a songwriter that underscore the
Blaster's potent originality. Touring the
country, and seeing contemporary forces
at work, was the inspiration for his lyrics,
which deal with such themes as economic
strife, love and loneliness, boomtowns and
new beginnings. "I wanted to write songs
that people would understand and relate
to," says Alvin.
Moreover, he says, "it was important for
the band to make a statement about how
they felt, or at least about how I felt, we've
accomplished that, in a sense. I don't just
want to write about cars and girls. I want to
keep the lyrics real and grainy."
Their second LP, Non-Fiction, brought
Alvin's ideas out even further, as well as
showcasing their roots even more. It also
gave them a firmer grip on success, which
they admit is partially due to the more experimental nature of the 1980's movie industry. Still more recently came an appearance on the Street Of Fire soundtrack,
and their new album (the best yet, they
promise) is due any day.
As someone who's already had the
pleasure of seeing the Blasters live, I can
guarantee that the entire crowd will be
dancing until their clothes are sweated
through. The Blasters are a group who live
to play the music they love.
'To me, the most important thing is putting out good recordings. But if commercial means doing things like Thomas Dolby
or Soft Cell, I'm not going to do that," say
Dave. "We're not a radio band, and we're
not MTV actors."
If you come out to Fallfest '84 this
weekend, you are guaranteed a rockin'
;ood time, with the Blasters, who

music.. AMERICANMUSICI
D
Joe Romano
The band hails from Los Angeles, and is
made up of a melting pot of musical Influences, including Dave (guitar) and Phil
(guitar, lead vocals) Alvin, Gene Taylor
(piano), Bill Bateman (drums), John Bazz
(bass), Steve Berlin (sax), and "Walkin"' Lee
Allen (sax).
Allen has been in the music business for
about thirty years, and is best known for
his hit fifties single, "Walkin' with Mr Lee."
How, you might ask, did Allen wind up in
an '"Bo's" band with young musicians?
Well, the AllenBlasters union goes back to
the band's formative years. According to
Phil Alvin, they met Lee through a guy at a
music store. Phil was about fifteen at that
point. Allen hails from New Orleans, and
brings to the group a solid injection of
rythym and blues.
Gene Taylor is a well-known jazzblues
pianist, and adds just another fine touch to
the Blasters, but it's Phil and Dave Alvin
who are at the core of the band. The siblings grew up in Downey, California, and
haven't always been the best of friends, but
what can you expect from brothers?
"We fight constantly," Dave says, but it
was actually older brother Phil who gave
Dave his start in music. Dave remembers
watching his older brother and their
friends jamming on old blues tunes and
thinking "It was bitchin'.. .1 just watched
and wanted to do it so bad, but all I did was
play guitar around the house. Phil had
been playing seriously since he was 13, and
he was GOOD.. .when he asked me to be
in the band, I couldn't believe it, I was so
happy..."
There's never been any regret on Phil's
part, despite their quips.
In fact, Dave not only went on to
become lead guitarist, but he also writes
the songs. He acknowledges that the L.A.
'50's rock scene (which spawned greats like
Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, and the
Burnette Brothers) was a seminal influence,
"as well as some of the Mexican music
around here, Black music, the fact that 1
was thirteen. I got to meet with Lee, Jr.
Walker, Big Joe Turner. People like that
had a big effect."
So you can see how the group has melded their influences into an assimilation of
true American music traditions, including
rock, blues, country, R and B, and
rockabilly.
Tin; Blasters, appearing at SUNYA tills wi'i'koiul
They do not merely rehash fifties music,
though, (unlike the Stray Cats) but, as
Alvin claims, the Blasters strive for
originality in their sound. They like to add
new twists to the music, while at the same
time paying homage to the artists they love
and grew up on (such as their song "Long
White Cadillac," which is a tribute to the
late Hank Williams).
The bes thing about the Blasters is their
steadfast refusal to compromise their music
for commercial success. "We get paid to do
what we want," Dave Alvin explains, "we
don't have to compromise. We're real
lucky that people want to come out and
see us. Not everyone gets a chance to express themselves."
They have had some success on the college level and among the lucky people that
have seen them live, yet Dave remains unchanged by it, eschewing any rock idol
lifestyle. In his spare time, he plays in a
folk band with his good friends, John Doe
and Exene of X. He also keeps in touch

with his Downey roots. The Blasters are
proud Californians, who stick together and
mingle with other top bands on the L.A.
scene such as X, the Gun Club, Fear, and
Boston's Del Fuegos. There has always
been a great camaraderie among L.A.
bands, which is a rare quality in today's
fast-paced music industry.
The road to critical acclaim and little
popular success has been a struggle. The
Blasters (whose name originated as a
shortened version of a previously established blues group, Jimmy McCrackJin and the
Blues Blasters) began in 1979, doing
rockabilly mainly, with bits of RB, blues,
and country thrown in. Since then, they've
progressed into one of the country's hottest
"roots" combos. It began with an LP released on a small label and in small quantities,
which never went anywhere. After that
the group played biker bars and taverns
until their first big break. Members of
Queen saw them, liked them, and put

Unhealthy Rat
To w e Editor:
If the Rathskeller is so concerned with making a profit,
I why doesn't the Rat operate at more reasonable hours
[ with more competitive prices?
The Rathskeller has the advantage of convenience, but
I it cannot compete with its primary competition — other
I bars. Many bars feature drink specials on Monday nights
I to accompany Monday Night Football and they pack peoI pie in and operate at tremendous profits. The Rat, on the
J other hand, offers no specials and closes down before
half-time. No wonder why the Rat has such a small crowd
[ on Monday nights. Serious football fans, your most pro[ fitable patrons, have no option but to go elsewhere to
j watch the games.
Weekends are the time, when most bars make their
| hugeat profits between 10:30 p.m. and 2 a.m. What does
| the Rathskeller do? They close on a Thursday at 12 a.m.
and at 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, regardless if
the place is busy or not. Until the Rat changes its policies
and starts better serving the students' needs by operating
at more reasonable hours, students will have to continue
I to find alternative means of entertainment.

To the Editor:
After being told about a recent decision by Student
Association Executives which banned all SA funded
groups from holding "Chippendales Nights" on campus,
we would like to address a problem of growing proportions at this University, the rights of freedom of
expression.
This set of rights includes the right to form and hold
beliefs and opinions on any subject and to communicate
this information through any medium; speech, writing,
'music or art.

We belive that in the p u t two years SA Executives have
denied certain SA funded groups this inherent right by
refusing to sign money vouchers to allow what they consider to be "controversial" events.
The executive branch of SA is attempting to be very
liberal in its thinking by disallowing these groups the right
to hold such events. But in their haste, to deny these
events because of the possibility that the subject matter of
the event is offensive, they are in effect being ultraconservative, denying the vast majority of students the right to
participate in these events. By "vetoing" events like a
Chippendales Night or a concert by comedian John
Valby, the executive branch of SA is censoring the rights
of freedom of expression.
When SA escapes controversy by protecting the rights
of those who do not support or do not wish to view such
an event, they have in effect discriminated against those
who feel strongly for the event.
We are not discreding the individuals who are opposed
to these events; however, we feel by allowing dissenting
views to dictate what events can or cannot be held on
campus is a violation of students' rights. For those individuals who oppose these "controversial" events there
are
always the options of non-participation or
protestation.
The university system should be an open forum for all
who wish to express themselves, even those whose opinions differ from our own. Obviously, the SA executive
branch has yet to realize this.

Poor editorials
To the Editor:
I believe recent ASP editorials lack the objectivity and
substantiating facts fundamental to good journalism.
As of late, I have become increasingly cognizant of the
extremely pro-homosexual overtones put forth by the
ASP and a number of student organizations which claim
to represent the interests of all students. The zealous collaboration betwen these groups has lead to a gross perversion of our student representational system. Frankly,' I
couldn't be the least bit concerned about issues homosexual and lesbian groups support or oppose, but do expect
our representatives to begin to act on issues which are of
concern to me. For example I would like to know exactly
what is being done to increase school spirit.
As a concerned student, I am inevitably concerned that
the reputation of our fine university is being maligned
through the editorial support given minority segments in
our university, such as the homosexual and lesbian sector.
The mere mention of our University's name has become
synonymous with homo-sexual and lesbian activism, a
point of pride for few and source of shame for many. It is
time that we students restored a favorable impression of
SUNYA by proving to our friends and families that we
don't support and will not allow minority groups to continue to dictate student policy. This is a plea for student
activism which will result in the removal from student office, those who continue to ignore the student majorityl

When malicous and vandalistic students destroy and
romove these buttons our means of access to any building

As a result, we are vituaily unable to independently

thoughtless acts of vandalism.

Black out
To the Editor:
On Saturday afternoon, Sept. 22, State Quad had a
major power failure. Not only was the quad without
power for over 2 hours, but also without water and a
working emergency generator. Throughout this power
failure, four Eastman Tower residents were stuck in an
elevator without any way of getting out.
Power Plant was called immediately, but were not
knowledgeable enough to help us out or the four students
,;»••,•^Irl''^».,'.'>>"•*•*••,V,'""
stuck In the elevator. Two hours is • long time, and if h
had not been for the competency of our Resident
Assistants and the Director on duty, this emergency situation could have gotten out of hand. The stairwells had
few lights, if any, and walking through them was like
walking with your eyes closed. Also, if a fire had broken
out, there would have been no way of getting those four
girls out of the elevator,
A power failure also occured later in the evening, after
we had been assured that everything was alright. Power
Plant was more efficient this time, but only because
regular staff - not the "weekend crew" - came out to
help. Still, the quad was without electricity for several
hours again. Even the fact that the head of the Power
Plant himself arrived on the scene did not excuse what
happened in the afternoon.
I am not blaming anyone for this incident, but there
must be steps we can take to prevent this from happening
again. We need a more competent weekend staff at Power
Plant because if we can not rely on them, then who are we
supposed to turn to? After all, emergencies happen on the
weekends too.
I intend to follow up on this matter with the administration of our school until we can find a solution to
make sure that our residence halls can provide adequate
safety precautions for all students living on the fivequads.

State Quad Board President
Favorable response
To the Editor:
As an active member of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance,
I agreed to coordinate GALA's participation in Group
Fair Day. In the past we have always been able to work
well with Student Association. This year was no exception. In fact, SA outdid themselves in their responsiveness
to GALA and other small groups. They are to be commended for their effort, expecially the office of Patty
Salkin, Director of Programming.
The response from the University community was also
generally favorable. The day passed almost without incident. Except for a small group of young men we presume
to be freshmen, the people visiting our table were concerned and polite. To these disruptive young men we remind you that you are now at a University, no longer in
high school. You may not realize it now but you are fortunate to be exposed to the diversity that Albany State
represents. You also reinforce the argument that GALA
is necessary to address the homophobia that still exists in
society.
As to the young man who deemed it necessary to
"moon" us, all we can say is, we have seen better.
—Jim Glenn
GALA member
Free speech
To the Editor:
It would seem that leaders on this campus fail to learn
the lessons of their predecessors. Two years ago, when I
served as a University Senator, the issue of ROTC at
SUNYA earned much discussion. At that time it was
decided, by the full Senate (including several student
reps.), to allow them to remain on campus. Why then
does this year's crop of student leaders believe that sentiment has changed since then (keeping in mind that it was
not a very close vote), especially since the Senate is
dominated by faculty, many of whom have heard the
debate only too often?
With repsect to the ROTC tabling in the Campus
Center, it would seem that SA is forgetting a concept
which has been guiding college activities for nearly two
decades. Back in 1964, something which came to be
known as the Free Speech Movement took hold at the
Univ. of California at Berkeley. It was the forebearer of a
student movement which swept the nation so as to allow
all members of the academic community to speak freely
on issues of concern to them. The restrictions being placed on the ROTC run contrary to all that has been fought
for over the past 20 years.
I only hope that today's student leaders remember the ^
fights and controversies of yesteryear, and that they apply
what they learn from those actions to this year's problems. In addition, I hope that our student representatives attend the conference being held at SUNY in commemeration of the 20th anniversary of the Free Speech
Movement on Oct. 4 and 5. Many of our professors were
involved in the actions of that period and could probably
help to illuminate my colleagues.

Blackout

[ wheelchairs who had attended the
| debate in the second floor
; Assembly Hall.
Just before he was to be carried
J down the stairs, one of the
students, T.K. Small, said
J nothing like this had happened to
I him before.
At one point Campus Center
employees were afraid someone
. was stuck in one of the building's
' two elevators. A man had
a- reported hearing a voice in one of
the two shafts, but when he was
S asked to show where he had heard
it he walked out of the building
saying he didn't want to get
j | involved.
Staff members checked the
„elevators and found that both
I were empty.
| Associate Director of the Campus Center Scott Birge said the
•decision to clear the building was
(made after the building superVisor on duty, Mark Noe, called
him to report the outage. "The
decision to evacuate was based on
health and safety reasons," Birge
stated. He said estimates from
security said it would be at least
"an hour before power was
restored, and that was one reason
the building was closed.
Students studying in the library
were also forced to leave that
building as a result of the electricity failure. "People were just
kind of annoyed because they did
have work to do," reported
[Howie Bernstein, who was studyling in the basement of the library.
Stevens stressed that a blackout
on State Quad two weeks ago
' 'was not related in any way to the
equipment malfunction that took
place in the lecture centers last
Tuesday night. They were
unrelated incidences.
The original problem on State
stemmed from a defective circuit
breaker. "The sensing device
within the breaker malfunctions
and trips it out," Stevens said.
Plant employees have temporarily
repaired the breaker, but, Stevens
said, a new breaker will be installed soon at an estimated cost of
$14,000.

preparing for a trial. It is also
helpful at the trial itself, as it can
be used to discredit the officer if
they testify at trial in a manner inconsistent with what they wrote in
the supporting deposition. The
charge will usually be dismissed if
you have properly requested a
supporting deposition and have
not received it by the time of the
trial.
Your fourth option is to appear
in court on the date indicated on
the ticket. If you appear you can
choose to plead guilty or not guilty with the same ramifications
discussed above. You also may
have another choice: plea
bargaining. This means a compromise is worked out with the
judge and the prosecutor. Many
judges are willing, for example, to
reduce a first speeding ticket to a
less serious offense. This is in the
discretion of the judge; you do
not have a "right" to a plea
bargain and every court has different policies. Consult with an
attorney prior to appearing in
court.
If you have pled not guilty,
either by mail or in person, a trial
will be scheduled. An explanation
of trial techniques is beyond the
scope of this article. However,
several points will be mentioned.
First, you may want to hire an at-
torney to handle the trial. Particularly if you are at risk of losing your license, the expense of
hiring an attorney may be
worthwhile.
Second, if you do not hire an
attorney, you must prepare for
the trial yourself, gather all
documents and witnesses you will
need. Review the facts of the case,
possibly return to the scene to'
familiarize yourself with the location. Figure out how you will respond to the case presented by the
officer.
Third, at the trial be courteous
and respectful to the judge and
the porsecution. You will have an
opportunity to question the officer, but do not argue with
him/her. Present your side Of the
story in a calm and clear manner.
Remember that the prosecution
has the burden of proving you
guilty. You do not have to testify.
After the trial, the judge will
decide whether you are guilty or
not guilty. You have a right to
appeal if you lose, and, if interested, should consult an attorney regarding the procedure.
The first step in an appeal must be
taken within thirty days of the
original decision.
One final caution: drive safely
and obey the traffic laws. These
laws are for your protection. D

point of the arguments against
her were discrepancies in the
answers Johnson gave to the
questions posed by the two
committees.
On one question about the services IMS provides, Johnson was
said to have given the EC a detailed list, but told Internal Affairs
that UAS provided only food services and a newsletter to the
campus.
In the middle of the debate, SA
President Rich Schaffer said, "I
couldn't understand why Lauro
wouldn't answer the same questions that she answered in our interview," adding that, "Interpretation and cultural differences
played a part in what her
responses were."
"Johnson gave two different
sets of answers to the same questions in two interviews, there is a
problem there,1' said Internal Affairs Committee Chair Steve
Russo.
One Council
member
wondered how Johnson would
perform at a board meeting if she
couldn't answer questions posed
by a panel of four.whites.
Johnson had several strong
supporters at the meeting, including Schaffer and SA Vice
President Suzy Auletta. Also
speaking on Johnson's behalf
were several members of the
Albany State University Black
Association (ASUBA), who attended the meeting.
Council member E. Paul
Stewart supported Johnson's
nomination, explaining how last
year she had successfully met personally with Norb Zahm, UAS
c o m m i s s i o n e r , to get the
bookstore to sell black hair care
products and to secure jobs for
m i n o r i t y s t u d e n t s in the
Rathskeller and quad cafeterias.
Auletta also spoke up in
J o h n s o n ' s defense, saying
Johnson had participated in
SASU meetings. "I've worked
with her at SASU and at many
conferences around the state,"
Auletta stated.
ASUBA Chair Laurie Midgette
spoke, making what some council
members called threats if Council
did not approve Johnson's
appointment.

SAFundat
Midgette ended her speech by
saying, "If you do not vote on
just her qualifications we will deal
w i t h t h i s by any m e a n s
necessary."
In Council's first vote on
Johnson's appointment, she was
rejected 9 - 8 - 3 , lacking the twothirds majority necessary for approval. A move to reconsider the
bill led to more debate and
resulted in a second vote,
1 1 - 8 - 1 , still failing to get the
necessary majority for apporval.
Council then considered the appointment of Oscar Lozano as
Assistant Elections Commissioner. Many of the issues, such
as interview policy, which had
surfaced during the debate over
Johnson reappeared in the debate
over Lozano.
Lozano, head of Furenza
Latino, and a poll watcher last
year, had received a 0 - 4 vote in
Internal Affairs, raising more
questions about the interview process, which Auletta termed "not
functional."
Lozano had been informally
appointed to the elections commission last year by then elections

commissioner, Tom Busby. His
appointment had never been approved by Council last year, so
members of Internal Affairs
challenged Lozano when he said
he had already served on the elections commission.
In addition, Auletta said, she
supplied Lozano with a shortened
copy of election procedures
because there were no full copies
in the office, but the members of
Internal Affairs who interviewed
him were not aware of this fact.
Because of that, Auletta said,
Lozano was asked questions he
had no way of knowing in his second interview.
Auletta said she sat in On
Lozano's interview with the EC.
"Everyone on the committee
thought he was good. I think
there were major discrepancies in
his interviews that had no reflection on whether or not he was
qualified for the job," she stated.
Council member Joe Jackson
charged that racism was playing a
part in Council's deliberations,
saying, "I see through every racist
on this board and its gonna be
changed because we're not going
. The debate ended with Council
approving
Lozano's
appointment.
Questions over affirmative action policy arose throughout the
night, especially in reference to
the i n t e r v i e w i n g p r o c e s s .
Members of Internal Affairs
made it clear that they felt their
job was merely to judge the competence of the applicants and that
affirmative action was to be taken
into account only by the original
executive committee and by Central Council.
Schaffer disagreed, saying that
Internal Affairs "is not above affirmative action policy."
Auletta insisted that the two
appointments were affirmative
action decisions, saying, "If they
aren't I would like to know what
is."
Japhet Zwana, SA's affirmative action advisor, said SA's
affirmative action policy is in
need of revision.
Stewart echoed Zwana's comments, saying, "Perhaps that's in
order; no policy can work at all if
its not Carried out and followed
through by SA elected officials
who implement Ihe policy to
begin with."

Women booters fall to Division II LeMoyne, 4-0
By Michael Skolnlck
STAFF WR1TBII
The team earned its second win of the
season easily against Siena by a score of
3-0. Still, they had problems breaking the
ice. Their first goal came at 24:55 of the second half as Joanna Lazarides scored her
second goal of the season. Then the team
scored its next two goals quickly thefirstat
28:55 off of a corner kick by Kathy DiBennedeto which landed at the feet of Ann
Baker who put it in. The final goal came
on a beautiful pass by Kim Kosslek to
Stam who converted the pass easily.
It was a rough, physical battle and it got
ugly in the late second half when
goaltender Maureen Keller took a cheap
shot in the back after making a save.
The team has become used to these
tough contests in the past. Last Saturday
the squad hosted the Division I Cortland
Red Dragons. Unlike LeMoyne, the Red
Dragons have a bunch of players who can
wear a team down physically. The squad
was affected by the absence of co-captain

she suffered in the Colgate game. "Dana is
our team leader on the field and we were
hurting without her in the lineup," said
Coach Kidder.
Keller played an outstanding game making 28 saves. It wasn't enough as Cortland
outlasted the Danes 4-0.
Last Tuesday, the women's soccer team
traveled to LeMoyne College, a tough
Division II team where they lost by a score
of 4-0. This loss brought the team's record
to 2-5 on the-season.
Controversy reigned on the field as LeMoyne scored their first two goals, both of
which Head Coach Amy Kidder contended
were offsides. Kidder explained, "We
play down defense and try to draw the
other squad into an offsides and we did,
but the referee didn't give us a break. Additionally being down at the outset on bad
calls demoralized our kids." Coach Kidder also said that the team suffered a
defensive lapse by failing to pick up Deb
Wagner, a player who makes things happen on the field.
Two words come to mind
about Albany's match Wednesday against New Paltz and Army:
confidence and consistency.
These are two things the Great
Dane spikers lack.
Albany beat New Paltz in two
games by scores of 15-6, and 15-8.
In this match the Danes may have
had their best outing of the
season.
But they then lost to Army
14-16, 15-10, and 2-15. Said
Coach Dwyer, "This was
definitely the toughest team we
played yet, but we still should
have won. The team played excellently at times but couldn't
seem to hold it together.
"Against Army we had good
defense and blocking but we just
didn't have the self-confidence,"
added the coach. "We just didn't
have it upstairs."
Volleyball is a game of momentum and you could just see it drifting away from the Danes. In the
first game they were ahead 14-12
before giving up four straight
points to lose the game.
In any case the team is still
quite successful. Their record
now stands at 11 wins and 3
losses. In Division III play they
are now ranked 11th in the country. Their hitting percentage,
which is a statistic similar to
baseball's batting average is at a
nearly impossible 500 percent.
Several players on the team are
averaging over 700 percent.
Clearly this is a boost as the team
tries to find that special connection that will give them the consistency needed to win it all.

Men's soccer team loses to top ranked Union
By Dean Chang
SPOUTS EDITOR
For a team that has gone winless in their
last three games, Albany State's men's soccer team has taken on the appearances of a
winner. After Wednesday's 4-3 defeat to
Union, the top-ranked team in the state,
the. feeling is understandable.
As the eighth-ranked team in the nation,
the Dutchmen weren't expecting a tough
game from the Danes, whose record stands
at 3-4-1. If it weren't for two critical
mistakes, Albany would have recorded one
of the biggest upsets of the year.
Union could thank the referees for their
second goal of the game, as the Dutchmen
were blatantly offsides according to Head
Coach Bill Schieffelin. The goal gave
Union a short-lived 2-1 advantage.
Jerry Isaacs, who got Albany's first goal
off a beautiful feed from Tihan Presbie,
had a hand in the next two goals, but one
of them was for Union.
Isaacs scored an unassisted goal to tie
the game up at two, only to commit a
crucial error half a minute later. Isaacs
tapped the ball back to goaltender Howard
Tygar, expecting Tygar to clear the ball.
To Albany's misfortune, a Union forward
anticipated Isaacs' pass and beat Tygar.
Despite that defensive lapse, Isaacs'
overall performance still stood out. Said
Schieffelin/'Jerry stood out like a sore
thumb. He's so strong and quick that very
few defenders can handle him. It's unfortunate that he gave the ball up, because he
gave a first-team, Ail-American performance on the field."
Union placed a lot of pressure on offense, moving their midfielders up to keep
the ball in the zone. Albany's strategy was
to avoid advancing the ball through the
midfielders, Union's strength, and instead
try to bypass Union's midfielders with
long passes to Isaacs and Presbie for oneon-one situations. This strategy was effective both in practice and theory, but instead of goals the Danes got near-misses
off shots.
IS minutes into the second half, Union
scored to make the score, 4-2. Less than a

The booters lost a squeaker to New York State's number one-ranked Union, 4-3.
minute later, the Danes got the goal back.
Isaacs won the ball 30 yards out and beat
the fullback on the left side. Isaacs sent the
ball to the middle where Mike Jasmin
deflected it to the goalmouth where Scott
Cohen knocked it in with his left foot.
Cohen's goal inspired the Danes to press
The Danes weren't helped by the injuries
to Jeff Hackett and Francisco Duarte, two
experienced players that could have helped
the team. Hackett, one of the acknowledged team leaders, only played half the game
and was at 75 percent even when he was in
there.
If Albany were to play with the same enthusiasm and effort against all their opponents, Schieffelin feels that they will win
most of their remaining games. But inconsistency has been a problem with this inexperienced team, and just because they
played well on Wednesday doesn't mean
that Albany will play that well next game.
"I thought we really looked good",said
Cohen. "We played with such high intensity and I expect it to carry over to the rest of
the season."
Last Wednesday, the Danes fell to
North Adams of Massachusetts, 3-0.
Albany did not play particularly well.
Ousty winds made it difficult for either
team to shoot effectively. On one goal, the
ball fluttered like a knuckleball with eyes,
as it avoided Tygar's arms. When
something like that occurs Tygar tries to
forget it ever happened.
"There's nothing you can do once the
game is over,"said Tygar. "Having a bad
game is a fluke type of thing, I hope."
The Danes played Brockport to a 3-3 tie
on Saturday, and once again Albany
outplayed their opposition only to come
out without a victory. Isaacs scored the
first goal of the game four minutes into the
first period, assisted by Jasmin. In the second period, Pat DaCosta scored two
goals to close out the scoring.

The Albany State men's cross country
team hit stride last Wednesday when the
Dane's trounced Hartwick 17-48 taking
1-2-3 and five of the first six places. The
following Saturday Albany soundly
defeated Division I Colgate for the third
year in a row, 22-34. This past Wednesday
the very deep Dane squad shut out North
Adams State while many of the team's top
runners rested. The team has now gone
undefeated since its losses at Syracuse a
month ago and has upped its record to 5-3.
Junior Chuck Bronner won the meet for
Albany followed by Albany captians Chris
Callaci and Jim Erwin both of whom beat
out Hartwick's first runner. Senior Tom
Kacandes led the next Dane pack finishing
fifth overall while freshman Pat Paul
finished sixth to complete the Danes'
scoring.
The Danes had their best performance
of the last two weeks against rival Colgate
on the Red Raiders' home course last
Saturday. Colgate's Jim O'Connor had to
run 26:16, the 14th fastest time ever on
that course to beat out Albany's Ed
McOill, whose 26:22 was the 21st fastest
time ever. Erwin noted that,"McGill's
time was only two seconds off what Pete
Pfitzinger, the 11th place Olympic
Marathon finisher, ran on the same
course." Junior Ian Clements look third
place after running a strong race and crossing the line in 26:41. Junior Craig Parlato
was named runner-of-the-meet for his
outstanding fourth-place finish. Coming
off the knee injury that had kept him out
of competition for a week and a half.
Parlato ran very smart and outkicked Colgate's Neal Durant over the last 200 meters
to finish in 26:41.
The meet was over when freshman Tim
Hoff and Callaci finished together in 27:19
to take sixth and seventh place respectively, completing the Dane's scoring.
Coach Munsey's decision to rest most of
the team's Colgate squad in the meet
against North Adams Wednesday gave
some of the younger Danes a chance to
shine. Sophomore John Olaser led a shut
out as he kicked past teammate Rami
Hyari in the last mile to finish in a personal
best time of 27:45. Sophomore David
Blette finished third in 28:04 closely
followed by freshman Pedro Valerio, who
was fourth in 28:07. Hyari, Blette and
Valerio all ran personal best times. Senior
Jim McGinty finished fifth for Albany and
fifth overall to complete the Danes first
shutout of the season.
Tomorrow the team travels to New
Jersey for a three-way dual meet against
host Trenton State, Montclair State and
Queens College.

Netwomen drop two out of last three matches
By Perry Tlschler
STAFF WRITER
It's been a long, long week for a small,
small team. Coach Jim Serbalik's Albany
State netwomen dropped two out of three
matches while losing another player in
what has become an injury-riddled season
for these young players.
Things started out well as Albany grabbed their fourth victory by shutting out St.
Rose, 9-0. First singles Deb Leffe easily
handled Pat Seras, 6-3, 6-1 while second
singles Gerry Chiodo made short work of
Karen Rochning, 6-0, 6-0. Helene Tischler
continued the rout by taking Lisa Delzio,
6-2, 6-3, while the vastly improving Ellen
Yun shut out Kathy Loomis, 6-0, 6-0. In
the fifth singles match, Nancy Forbes shut
out Mary Helen Russo, 6-0, 6-0 and Nina
Cheung took Dawn Prineau, 6-1, 6-0 to
complete an awesome Albany singles
sweep.
The doubles matches held nothing for
St. Rose as they were swept again. Dane
duo Tischler and Chiodo thrashed Seras
and Boehning, 6-1, 6-0 while Yun and
Forbes took Delzio and Prineau, 6-0, 6-1
in something less than a thriller. Cheung
and Lisa Bahrami beat Loomis and Russo
for Albany's ninth consecutive win.
Although this display of Dane domination
was "good psychological experience" in
the words of Coach Serbalik, it must be
noted of the dire straits that have plagued
the tennis program at St. Rose.
On the other side of the coin is Vermont,
a team that is Division I, a team that is well
organized, and a team that beat Albany
8-1. In first singles action, Deb Leffe continued her winning ways by taking Sue
Stein, 6-2, 7-5. Things went downhill from
there. Sue Lewis easily handled Gerri

Carolyn Brain handled Nancy Forbes, 6-1,

with Lisa Valens, 1-6, 7-5, 7-6.
Vermont continued to show why they
are Division I by sweeping the doubles

dropped a tough decision to Natalie Grim,

also played very well despite dropping

Johnson-Cury thrashed Valens-Chcung,
8-1.
Head Coach Serbalik felt good about
the match. "We definitely played way
above our heads considering the conditions," said Serbalik. "With a full squad,
we might have beaten them. With a
healthy squad, we have great depth."
The record stands at 4-3, the squad
stands thin, and Coach Serbalik stands

Jim Valentino spearheaded the
defensive unit by making IS
unassisted tackles while the secondary picked off five Brian Timbrouck passes including three by
Anderson in the first half.
Despite Springfield's
dominance, the Danes found
themselves down by only 10-7 in
the fourth quarter. But in the
final 10 minutes, a rash of Albany
State turnovers led to 17 Springfield points, transforming a
tight contest into a blowout.
The beginning of the Albany
State collapse started when a Nozzi pass was picked off, setting up
the Chiefs at the Danes' 15-yard
line.
Timbrouck, who had an
unbelievable night running the
ball for 104 yards on 20 carries,
found success in the air on the
first play, completing a 14-yard
pass to the two. One play later,
fullback Don Boland dived over
the goalline to up Springfield's
lead to 17-7.
Russell was sent into the game
on the Danes' next possession
and, under a heavy rush, threw an
errant pass into the chest of
Chiefs cornerback Bryan Durrington, who ran it back to the
Albany 35.
Four plays later, Timbrouck
threw his second touchdown pass
of the night, a 14-yarder to a wide
open Dave Woods.
Minutes later, kicker John
Welling kicked his second 35-yard
field goal of the night, which was
set up by another Dane turnover,
a fumbled punt by Ray Priore.

which they admirably rose to, even if the
sun didn't. For it was on this cool, overcast September 29 that 10 Albany State
runners ran the best races of their lives,
resulting in the 35-25 Dane victory.
Hamilton's Sirpa Rehn and Pam Fanning finished the course in 18:14 and 18:25
respectively, to take first and second place.
However, that would be all for Hamilton
until Connie Harrison's eighth-place
finish, for Lynn Jacobs (18:32), Karen
Kurthy (19:09), Bette Dzamba (18:54),
Kim Pettichord (19:09); and Donna Buruham (19:21), all personal bests, occupied
the next five positions. Jacobs' outstanding time is now the new record for an
Albany State runner on the course, and
Karen Kurthy finished under the old
record as well. Moreover, the first five
finishers combined times of 94:35
established a nes precedent for the top five
times in a home meet, shattering the old
record of 96:23.8.

the next obstacles in the Danes' path,
Smith proving to be an obstacle the women
could not overcome. Despite the fact that
five of Albany's runners, Karen Kurthy
(18:39, third overall), Donna Burnham
(19:03, fifth), Rachel Braslow (19:46,

Sue Gulla (21:04, 16th), achieved personal
best times, the runners from Smith, led by
Kirsten Kannergieser (18:16), and Owen
Hordesty (18:33), and aided by the fact
that Albany's front runner, Lynn Jacobs,
had to sit out the race due to a sore hamstring, edged out the Danes by a final score of
30-25.
The loss was disappointing to the team,
and the decision not to run Lynn was one
that may have cost Albany the meet.
However, Coach White is confident he'
made the correct choice.
"In order for Lynn to have made the
difference between winning and losing, she
would have had to better her previous best
time of 18:32," said White. "That would
have meant running her all-out which
would have further aggravated the muscl

The future looks exremely bright for th

Most off-campus students will have until June, 1985 to
comply with a city zoning ordinance, known as the
"grouper law," which prohibits more than three
unrelated people from sharing an apartment or house,
Albany city officials said Wednesday.
However, at one house located near Quail Street in the
student ghetto area, students say they are caught in the
middle of a struggle between their landlord and the city
which could lead to their eviction under the grouper law.
The three floor house contains 14 students in three
separate apartments, according to residents. Under the
"grouper law" ordinance, the house can only contain
three students in each apartment.
The Bureau of Code Enforcement is currently "in the
process of evaluating" the house, said bureau director
Mike Alvaro, asserting that the landlord "will be
prosecuted."
One tenant claimed that the city "is after" the
landlord, Jack Buckman, and that the students "just happended to be in the way."
Off-Campus Housing Director Karleen Karlson stressed that this is the only house currently under
investigation.
The tenants, Karlson said, will be allowed to stay in the
house for at least another month.
Alvaro said that, while the eviction of tenants "still is a
possibility" in severe cases, the city has agreed to a "tentative deadline" of June 1985 for landlords and tenants to
comply with the ordinance.
' More than 4,500 students live off campus in areas near
the SUNYA bus line. In the past the city has not rigidly
enforced the grouper law, but many landlords' practice of
renting to more than three unrelated people has, according to city officials, led to the overall deterioration of
the city's housing stock.
Total enforcement of the grouper law ordinance could
cause over 1,000 students to be displaced, said Karlson,
who has contended that there isn't enough housing
available to absorb these students. Albany currently has a
vacancy rate of less than two percent.
The residents of the one house under investigation, explained that each tenant pays $150 or $160 per month, including heat and utilities. "It's not worth it," said one te17»-

As parents and guests crowd the podium this
weekend they will find a potpourri of happenings
awaiting their attention.
The visitors will be taking part in the Fourteenth
Annual Community University Day, Parent's
Weekend, and the Alumni Homecoming.
On Saturday, the Lecture Centers will be filled with
exhibits celebrating SUNYA's "140 years of service"
to the community. This theme was picked to honor the
1844 founding of the Albany Normal School, an institution which has evolved into the University at
Albany, one of the four University Centeis of the
SUNY system.
"This is the single event that the entire University
sponsors to reach out the community, parents and
Alumni. It's University wide. We are going to open up
our doors," said Event Coordinator Sorrell Chesin,
associate vice president for University Affairs.
For each of the groups participating this weekend,
different events have been prepared.
Parent's Weekend, beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday,
will offer a variety of "topic sessions" to interested
parents. Subjects offered range from admissions to
law and medical schools to a discussion on the collegiate experience led by Vice President for Student
Affairs Frank Pogue.
Comedian Robert Klein will perform for Parent's
Weekend. Guests will be treated to a fireworks show
following Klein's 8 p.m. performance Saturday night.
C-U Day's open house will feature campus tours
and various department exhibits. A "must see," according to Chesin, is the Wally Balloon Display in the
LC area. Children and adults will be able to talk with a
televised cartoon character at that exhibit.
Also featured at C-U Day will be discussions for
prospective students, led by groups of faculty
members from SUNYA's science departments. In addition, they will conduct a tour of the Nuclear Accelerator Lab. "Most people have no idea we have
one," Chesin said.
The Alumni Association will also be_ hosting
members of the classes of '69, '74, and '79 Saturday.
As part of those festivities a barbeque for the classes
will be held Saturday evening in the Campus Center
Garden.
Of course, everyone is invited to the Homecoming
football game against SUNY-Cortland, 1 p.m. Saturday at University Field. During halftime banners submitted to the Banner Contes will be judged, and the
Pep band and kickline have promised to be out in full
force to support the Great Danes.
Parent's Weekend will close Sunday morning with
the traditional "Breakfast with the President," an
event which in the past has had the Patroon Room filled to capacity. Acting University President Judith
Ramaley will speak this year.
