If there were ever a distinct parallel to
the Dane netwomen's season, it was this
year's State Championship. A tournament
marred by bad luck and flashes of
greatness were all too familiar to Coach
Jim Serbalik's 1984 edition of the Albany
State women's tennis team.
The flashes of greatness came in the
form of number one singles Debbie Leffe,
who went further than any Dane had gone
before. The seventh-seeded Leffe got a bye
in the first round and faced Alfred's
number two singles, McDaniel in the second round. Leffe made short work of her
in a strong 6-2, 6-1 win.
The third round pitted Leffe against
Rochester Institute of Technology's (RIT)
number two singles Tamler. A fine performance was turned in by Leffe as she overcame Tamler, 7-5, 6-4 to advance into the
semifinals. Unfortunately, the number one
seeded Pam Thompson was her next opponent. Skidmore's number one player had a
tough battle, but finally took Leffe 7-5,
6-3 in a thrilling confrontation.' Thompson
went on to win the whole tournament.
J
Leffe's work was far from over. In thi
consolation rounds, Leffe wreaked havoc
and advanced to the Finals. Her first victim
was the number ninth seede Payne of RIT.
In a tough three-set confrontation, Leffe
overcame Payne, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
Next, Leffe sought revenge on Skidmore
when she faced number eight seed,
Carolyn Spellman. In a resiliant effort,
Leffe fought back for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory that catapulted her to the finals. Unfortunately, Leffe ran into her old
nemesis, Bonnie Loedel. The number two
seeded Binghamton star ended Leffe's
reign of terror with a 6-1, 6-2 thrashing.
Coach Serbalik was quick to throw
heaps of praise on his singles star. "Debbie
had just a great, great tournament. I think
that was the furthest any Albany player
had ever gone. It was just a tremendous
effort."
The unseeded Geri Chiodo, Albany's
number two singles, ran into a tough draw.
Despite the bad luck, Chiodo fought ad-
mirably as she disposed of Hamilton's
number two singles player Wise, 6-2,6-0 in
a strong showing. In the second round,
Chiodo fought Ithaca's number one
singles Packer in a three-set battle. Chiodo
moved on to the third round after topping

As Albany luck would have it, Chiodo
had to face third seeded Laura Parker of
Vassar. Chiodo's luck had run out.

In the consolation round, Chiodo
bounced back to take Ithaca's number two

tennis coach as she has done all season.
However, eighth-seeded Carolyn Spellman
stopped Chiodo, 6-3, 6-2 to end Albany's
singles attack for 1984. Leffe and Chiodo
combined to win seven out of ten matches.
The Dane doubles didn't fare as well as
their singles counterparts. Albany's top
Dane doubles duo Ellen Yun and Nina
Cheung had to face the number two seeded
Valerie YiH°-Mary Vernon combination
from Binghamton. The Colonials' duo
blew Yun and Cheung out 6-1, 6-1.
Yun and Cheung did no better In the
consolation round as Kelly Lambert and

Former Buffalo University quarterback
Marty Barrett is now an assistant coach
somewhere in the state of Illinois, but
"Dando's Airforce" is still gunning down
opponents through the air.
Barrett quarterbacked Buffalo for four
glorious years, breaking every passing
record in Bulls' history. Following last
year's graduation, he was invited to tryout
for the NFL's Buffalo Bills, but was cut
two weeks into training camp. There were
no other offers so Barrett chose to become
an assistant coach at a small college in
Illinois.
There was speculation that without Barrett, "Dando's Airforce" (the nickname
given to Coach Bill Dando's pass-oriented
offense) might be temporarily grounded.
But that has not been the case this season.
Last year's backup,Ken Hyer, has stopped into the quartcrbacking role and has
done superbly, completing 57 percent of
his passes for 1403 yards. He has also accumulated nine touchdown passes in eight
games.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Bulls will
showcase their potent aerial attack as the
3-5 Albany State Great Danes battle Buffalo University on University Field.
The Danes are recovering from their
most heart-wrenching defeat of the season
- a 35-32 loss to sixth-ranked Hofstra.
According to some of the players, some
positive things did come out of the lastminute defeat to Hofstra. The Danes prov-

"In this tournament, the draw of the lot

remarked Serbalik. This was apparent as
the newly formed team of Nancy Forbes

The consolation round was just some

President Ronald Reagan
Second term goals are "strong economic growth without inflation and to keep America
strong."
Washington, D.C.
(AP) Ronald Reagan swept to a 49-state
runaway re-election over Walter F. Mondale Tuesday night, but Republicans strugg l e d to translate hs conservative landslide
into significant gains in Congress. The
president won every state but Mondale's
Minnesota.
The victoriou president told cheering
supporters in Los Angeles, "Our work isn'
finished, there is much more to be done.'
He said his second term goals were "strong
economic growth without inflation and to
keep America strong," adding he hoped to
rcduccnuclcar weapons and "ultimately
ban them from the earth entirely."
"You ain't sen nothing yet," the president said in echo of a campaign refrain.
With 82 percent of the nation's precints
counted, .Reagan had 59 percent of the
vote to 41 for Mondale - a margin of more
than 10 million ballots.
Mondale conceded defeat, telephoned
his congratulations to Reagan and told
•cheering supporters in St. Paul, Minn.,
"He has won. We are all Americans; he is
our president and we honor him tonight."
Democratic running mate Geraldinc
Ferraro phoned Vice President George
Bush, who praised his Democratic opponent - drawing some jeers from his
Houston supporters. "She campaigned
hard. She was a strong opponent," Bush
said.
Republicans held the Senate. Democrats
renewed control of the House, but by a
reduced margin.
Sen. Jesse Helms won a bitterly con-
tested fight in North Carolina, but fellow
Republican Sen. Roger Jepson lost to Rep.
Tom Harkin in Iowa. In Illinois, Foreign
Relations Committee Chairman Charles
Percy was trailing Democratic Rep. Paul
Simon.
Democratic Sen. Walter Huddleston
was defeated in Kentucky by Mitch McConncll, and another Democratic incumbent, Carl Levin, trailed Republican
challenger Jack Lousma in a long, late
count in Michigan.
The presidents victory was predicted by
all the polls, but impressive even so. He
and Bush came close to the 50-state sweep
they sought as Mondale won the District of
Columbia, garnering three electoral votes,
and claimed victory for Minnesota's 10.
Reagan won the other 49 states with 525
electoral votes. In the Associated Press
count, the electoral votes of South Dakota
pushed his total past the 270 majority
mark. Television networks foi ist the
landslide between 8 p.m. EST and 9 p.m.
Ms. Ferraro hailed Mondale in remarks
from New York City, saying he had won
another battle - "That battle for equal opportunity...he opened a door that will
never be closed again" by naming her the
first woman on a national ticket.
"There is absolutely nothing not to be
proud of," she said as the returns were
counted. "No one should shed any tears."
Sen Paul Laxalt, Reagan's campaign
chairman, said, "We've got at least a
reasonable chance to have the most
historic landslide in all American history."

Albany Dems sweep local contests
By Michelle Busher
EDITORIAL ASSISTAfitr
Local Democrats renewed their strength
in Albany, Tuesday, sweeping all area contests, despite a Republican landslide in the
presidential race.
\i
Four of the five Democratic victors were
running for re-election to offices they
already held.
In the Congressional race, Democratic
incumbent Samuel Stratton got 104,300
votes, defeating Republican Frank Wicks
by almost 33,000 votes, leaving Socialist
Workers Party candidate, Richard Ariza
trailing with 414 votes.
Democrat Howard Nolan held his position in the state Senate by a two to one
margin over Republican candidate Joseph
Frangella.
Nolan, a strong supporter of a 21-year
old drinking age, said his victory proves
students support him in spite of that
position.
Nolan said his success did not come as a
surprise. His opponent, he said, "is a
liar." He didn't bring this up during the
campaign, he explained, because he felt it
would be inappropriate. But, Nolan said,
"my opponent based his campaign on
lies."
In the state Assembly race Democratic
incumbent Richard Conners drew 42,184
votes triumphing over Republican oppo-
nent Paul Silvcrstcii, „/ a margin of 29,000
votes.
The Albany County Judicial races were
also dominated by the Democrats. John
Turner, appointed by Governor Mario
Cuomo earlier this year to replace a retiring judge, was elected to the County Court
judgeship garnering 85,220 votes while his
Republican challenger Steven Gates drew
42,384 votes.
"I think I ran pretty hard," said Gates,
"but I was running against a pretty heavy
tide."
In the Family Court judicial race,
Democrat Anthony Cardona beat out his
Republican challenger Dennis Irwin by
more than 40,000 votes.
"Student voters did affect the election,"
Cardone said, explaining, they "showed
their appreciation for my committment to
family court,"

Fair files bankruptcy
New Orleans, LA
(AP) The 1984 World's Fair, threatened by

bankruptcy laws.
The fair filed for bankruptcy protection
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code, said George Williams, the fair's
marketing director.
He estimated the fair would wind up on
November 11 at least $100 million in debt.
Much of that total is the $55 million put
up by fair backers, plus $27.5 million in
state loans or guarantees that will come
out of the taxpayers' pockets.
"I expect the fair will owe about $35
million to creditors," said Williams.

Bucking the national landslide,
SUNYA students supported
Walter Mondale over Ronald
Reagan at polling places for oncampus residents, voting for
Mondale 1524 to 1100 in a large
turnout in Tuesday's election.
Patty Salkin, a SUNYA student and a member of the
Democratic Committee in
Guilderland's 22nd District, said
the backing for Mondale showed
"students don't go for the New
Right policies and the don't support the mixture of religion and
government."
Student Association officials
estimated that 75 to 80 percent of
the 5,000 registered students turned out for the election, in contrast
to approximately 39 percent in
last November's election.
Salkin said that in the 22nd
District, which is comprised of Indian and parts of Dutch Quad
and votes at the Gym, 650
students voted out of 780 that
were registered.
In the local races, Democrats
drew the majority of votes at the
on-campus student polling places.
These include the Gym, State
Quad's flagroom, the Thruway
House, and St. Margaret Mary's
Church.
In the Congressional race, incumbent Sam Stratton, who has
served 13 consecutive terms, was
favored by 1396 SUNYA
students, while 584 voted for
Republican challenger Frank
Wicks, and Socialist Workers
Party candidate Richard Ariza

At least 150 students, however,

In addition, between 350 and

said the massive voter registration

Students whose voter cards

paper ballot, and swear lo an affidavit stating that they do live in
that district.
At some polling places, including ones at State Quad and
the Gym, the Board of Elections
did not provide enough paper
ballots, causing students to be
turned away when supplies ran
out.

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Ronald Reagan's strength in the election was predicted early in public opinion
polls and later validated by overwhelming
returns in his favor.
It was a somewhat different story in
Congress.
In the Senate, Democrats fought to narrow a 55-45 GOP majority.
Democrats counted two Senate gains; in
Tennessee, where Rep. Albert Gore captured the seat vacated by retiring
Republican leader Howard Baker, and
Iowa, where Rep. Tom Harkin defeated
the Republican incumbent, Roger Jepsen.
Reagan's coattails were evident in Kentucky, where Republican Mitch McConnell upset two-term incumbent Democratic
Sen. Walter Huddlcston.
Nine women battled incumbents, and
they all lost.
In addition to Harkin's victory over
Jepsen, Democrats in two other states kept
seats in the party — Lt. Gov. John Kerry
winning in Massachusets and Gov. John
Rockefeller doing likewise in West
Virginia.
Democratic Senators winning re-election
included Sam Nunn of Georgia; J. Bennett
Johnston of Louisiana; Joseph Bidcn of
Delaware; James Exon of Nebraska;
Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island; David
Boren of Oaklahoma; Bill Bradley in New
Jersey; Howell Heflin in Alabama; Max
Baucus in Montana and David Pryor in
Arkansas.
Republican incumbents Ted Stevens of
Alaska; William Armstrong of Colorado;
Mark Hatfield of Oregon; Alan Simpson
of Wyoming; Nancy Kasscbaum of Kansas; Strom Thurmond of South Carolina;
William Cohen of Maine; Thad Cochran

266-167 edge, with two vacancies, it was
the Republicans who were looking to gain
ground. But in many states were Reagan
rolled up lopsided victories, Democratic
Congressmen were holding off GOP
challengers.
An exception was Connecticut, where
Rep, William Ratchford fell to Republican
John Rowland in a district where the president campaigned personally. Helen
Bentley defeated veteran Democratic Rep.
Clarence Long in Maryland. Long had
chaired a powerful House appropriations
subcommittee.
Other Democratic incumbents ousted included Elliot Levitas of Georgia; Joseph
Minish of New Jersey; Jack Hightower of
Texas; and Robin Britt of North Carolina.
Rep. Dan Crane of Illinois, censured by
the House for sexual misconduct with a
female page, was defeated. A second
Republican incumbent also fell, Lyle
Williams of Ohio.
Rep. Gerry Studds of Massachusetts, an
avowed homosexul who was censured for
sexual misconduct with a male page, won
Democratic re-election.

hopes of gaining 25 seats. Combined with
the support of conservative Democrats,
that kind of GOP advance would have
given the president a "working majority"
for his second-term legislation.
In the 435 House races, Democrats won
225, and led for 24, while Republicans
took 164 scats and were ahead in 21 contests. It took 218 for a majority.
The old House lineup was 266
Democrats, 167 Republicans, and two
vacancies in scats that had been held by
one Democrat and one Republican.
Republicans wrested governorships
from Democrats in four states Tuesday

The Republican Party could increase its

A dynamic black woman sporting an all orange outfit, wearing
her hair comfortably tied back,
and describing her style as
"somewhat unorthodox," took
the stage in the Campus Center
ballroom Monday afternoon.
At 46, Lois Smith Owens told
the audience, she can usually
wake up happy with who she is.
But she said, achieving this sense
of self was a long struggle.
"I still contend," she explained, "that there is in the back of
every black person's head one
tiny little nugget that says 'It
would be easier if I were white'."
Although she went on to present this point humorously, and
was met with some laughter from
the audience, many of the 65
onlookers silently nodded in
agreement.
"The acceptance of ourselves is
the most difficult thing we face,"
asserted Owens, who is currently
studying for her Ph.D at Howard
University.
She urged the predominantly
black audience to take pride in
their heritage. "African people
are the originators of communication, medicine, education, and
civilization," she said.
Look proudly at the differences
between black and white people,
she told the audience. " W e are
different and that's very, very,
good," Owens declared.
Owens, speaking in honor of
Black Solidarity Day, explained
that solidarity, to her, means unity among all black people,
regardless of their jobs or income.
"In spite of our educational
backgrounds we still come out (of
school) as black people. We are
still looked at as black and we are
still stereotyped as black...to the
big world out there you're just
another 'nigger'," she asserted,
explaining why all black people
must work together to fight
discrimination.
"For black folks in America,"
she said, "if one of us is oppressed, we're all oppressed."
White people, she asserted to
loud applause, "should not come
into our communities with their
social workers and their bandaids, they should go out into their
communities and enlighten their
people while we enlighten ours."
Drawing on her experience as a
professor at the Universities of
Michigan and Virginia, Owens offered SUNYA's black student
leaders some advice. Set goals,
she said, and "find individuals
who have the resources you need,
then negotiate with the University
to get what you want."
Owens urged black students to
take an active role in campus life.
"It behooves you to educate
"Yes, I like the idea that
you've come together,and
you've organized, and you're
trying to help yourselves."

she asked the audience. About
half raised their hands to assert
that they had.
Owen was introduced by Vivian
Gordon, the new chair of
SUNYA's African and AfroAmerican studies department.
Stressing the importance of
Black Solidarity Day, Gordon
said, "The world is not waiting
for a black college graduate. The
world is waiting for you with a
bat in its hand, and you need to
know that."

Black Solidarity Day's history
It's no coincidence that Black Solidarity day, a national event, is
observed on November 5.
That's the birthday of Carter G. Woodson, a scholar and historian
who in 1915 helped found what is now called the Association for the
Study of Afro-American Life and History(ASALH).
For many years, Woodson's birthday has been set aside by black
leaders as a day to reflect on the past achievements and failures of the
civil rights and Afro-American cultural movements.
During the I960's, black leaders often selected November fifth as a
day lo show black economic strength through community wide
boycotts of companies that failed to desegregate. In addition,
November fifth has sometimes been chosen as a day to celebrate the
signing of the emancipation proclamation, and a day to honor Woodson's achievements.
Throughout till llie different November fifth celebrations and
events, the importance of black solidarity has remained a constant
I heme, explained Vivian Gordon, the new chair of SUNYA's African
and Afro-American studies department.
Black Solidarity Day, Gprdon said, evolved from the various
November fifth events celebrated each year. "It is a time lo assess the
strengths and weaknesses of past struggles,.,(and) The need lo have
cohesive supporl on crucial issues," she asserted.
"We have in our history," Gordon explained, "some failures and
lack of ability lo obtain certain goals, mostly because of a lack of
strength that comes in unity."
She stressed however, that "solidarity does not preclude diversity." Many cultural groups have organizations and hold events to
celebrate their heritage, she said, asserting "we (black Americans) gel
silenced and labeled as separatists and nationalists when we speak of

Computer music to play at PAC
By Christopher Blomquist
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Computers and music, two areas generally considered quite opposite, will be joined together by
SUNYA Music Professor Joel Chadabe in a concert
entitled "Music for Computer and Percussion" in
the Recital Hall of the Performing Arts Center
Thursday at 8pm.
Chadabe, who describes his music as "avantegarde jazz and sometimes serious concert music,"
said that Thursday's concert is going to be both
"unusual" and a rare event.
The first of the four selections, which will each
run about 15 minutes, will be " S o l o . " Chadabe
said he would make use of two "proximity sensitive
antennas" which would allow him to conduct the
computer with hand movements, similar to how a
conductor leads the musicians in an orchestra.
"Scenes from Stevens," the second piece, was inspired by the verses of poet Wallace Stevens,
Chadabe said.
The concluding numbers, "Follow Me Safely"
and "Rhythms" are two improvisational compositions thai will be accompanied by percussionist Jan
Williams.
Chadabe has recently performed in Paris and
Switzerland and will be performing next week in
Holland. Thursday's PAC concert,,he said, will be
the first time he has played his entire ensemble in
the Albany area. He said he expects a large turnout
to see his different style of music.
"I generally use the computer as an intelligent instrument," said Chadabe. He explained that he
programs the computer to generate music and he
then interacts with it by means of keyboards and
other devices, such as the antenna. The computer,
he explained, can compose the music as it plays it.
Chadabe said he has been involved with computer music for six years. "It's interesting and a
new frontier. It's interesting to experiment with it,"
he explained,
Chadabe said he believes this type of music "is
becoming more and more normal," adding that,
"the kinds of things I'm working with now are going to be in everyone's homes in ten years," lie said.
"This concert," he said, "will demonstrate that
computers can be musically situated and can be used in musically variable situations."
Tickets for the program are $1 for SUNYA
students, and $2 for general admission and can be
reserved by calling 457-8606.

While disputing the contention of some
educators that the media focuses only on
bad news New York Times President Fred
Hechinger, speaking Thursday night at
Alumni House, agreed that there are
"legitimate complaints" to be made about
education coverage as a whole.
Newspapers favor stories which contain
news that is either "extraordinarily good
(or) extraordinarily bad," he said. "The
(reader's) eye focuses on the crisis," maintained Hechinger.
"I'm sure Amtrak would want a story
on four trains arriving on time," he said,
adding that such events are not considered
important enough to be covered by the
media.
"There's nothing wrong and there's
everything right with the adversarial position of the press toward any institution —
that's our function. In our society we are
watchdogs," continued Hechinger.
However, he criticized reporters who
have "adversarial positions personally
toward education, teaching and the enterprise as a whole."
He said educators have "legitimate complaints" concerning such reporters and
also those who cover education merely
because it's an open job or because it's a
stepping-stone to another position.
"There is a lot really wrong with a lot of
media coverage of education," said
Hechinger. "The turnover of people
covering education is greater than of any
other- area covered by a newspaper," he
added, explaining that two major
newsmagazines which once had permanent
education editors no longer have those
positions.
"The publishers and city editors of the
great mass of newspapers of the United
States think they're covering education
when they send reporters to school board
meetings. It's like covering sports without
sending anybody to a game," he said.
He urged print and broadcast media to
send reporters to schools and to cover
specific programs within the schools,
citing the writing program for students at
P.S. 230 in Brooklyn, which was recently
featured in the Times. "That type of story
is passed up time and again.
Hechinger had particular criticisms of
the coverage of a 1983 report released by
the National Commission on Excellence in
Education. The report expressed concerns
that a "rising tide of mediocrity" afflicted
American education.
According to Hechinger by the time the
report was released it was outdated, but
the media did not report that. "The danger
is if you don't catch up and you report on
flaws that have already been corrected you
run the risk that the public will say 'Well,
if this is a failing institution, why support
it?' "
The American obsession with measurement, particularly its interest in statistics
that measure academic performance, leads
to inferior media coverage, claimed
Hechinger, explaining that when the press
focuses on SAT scores, he said, they j.
nore "realities" in favor of "shorthand"
He criticized the attitude among some
administrators that "the less the public
knows about (education) the bc-lter...Vou
(educators) must keep channels open all
the time...not just when you want a story
but all the time, and let the press decide
when there should be a news story," he
said.
He mentioned that it was, in 1959, dtiring his tenure as educaion editor of the
Times that that newspaper was the (irsl
newspaper or TV station to obtain and
report the results of reading tests for New
York City schoolchildren. When the scores
were published "all hell broke loose," he
said. "We had violated something," but,
he added, no one knew what had been
violated.

Students who are looking for a
new place to get together and
socialize between classes and
other activities now have another
alternative. The Jewish Students
Lounge, located in Campus
Center 320, is open Monday
through Friday from 11am to
4pm except during Jewish and
academic holidays.
The lounge was created as a
response to a need for a place
where "Jewish students could
relax, learn together, and have a
good time." It's located in part of
the JSC-Hillel office in the Campus Center, according to Steve
Greenbaum, chair of the Flame, a
Jewish organization on campus.
The lounge is a project of JSCHillel, The Flame, and Revisionist Zionist Alternative, the
three Jewish groups at SUNYA.
Also involved was Campus Commision, part of the Greater
Albany Jewish Federation, which
helped to fund the program.
According to Hillel advisor Jay
Kellman, the Jewish groups at
SUNYA decided over the summer
to begin working more closely
together in serving the school's
Jewish communtiy.
"It was felt last year...that the
(Hillel) office could be converted
into a lounge," Kellman said.
Kellman said a Jewish students
lounge was needed because other
lounges don't have the resources
of the new room. "The idea is
that in this lounge they're able to
browse through and use Jewish
resource material," he added.
Using the Fireside Lounge,
which is located in the Campus
Center, as an example, Kellman
said there was no place for Jewish
literature or information in that
room. The Jewish Students'
Lounge will provide the space for
the information, he said.
Since the lounge is located in
Hillel's office, Greenbaum said,
"it was easy to open the place up.
We already had the room and
some chairs."
Kellman said that the furniture
for the lounge-a few chairs, a
will include cookies, donuts, coffee, and tea. The food is free to
patrons of the lounge.
Response to the lounge has
been slow. Some students commented that they "didn't know
about it," and one student said '
"The idea is that in this lounge
(students are) able to browse
through and use Jewish resource
material."
—Jay Kellman
table, a used rug, and a coffee
urn, was donated by people in the
Albany Jewish community.
Refreshments will also be
available in the lounge. Greenbaum said that Campus Commission is providing about $2 per
week for the refreshments, which
that "the only way I knew it was
through JSC-Hillel mailing to
me."
Other students have questioned
the lounge's presence.
Although the Campus Commision's announcement state that
the lounge is "open to all
students, faculty, and administration," some students feel that the
lounge is making itself into a
place for the "elite."
"This society is supposed to be
a melting pot to bring different
cultures together. This could lead
to institutional segregation," said
sophmore Sheri Feinzig.
Although SUNYA student
Julie Seid said that this is "one of
the only ways to interact with
other Jewish people," Rob
Sardegna wonders why "all the
other ethnic and religious groups
are getting along Tine without a
lounge."
Sardegna said that all groups
don't have equal oppertunities to
acquire a lounge area. "If every
group wanted to get their own
lounge there wouldn't be enough
room," he said.
The lounge is "definitely not
needed," said Sardegna.

"In our society, (the media) are watchdogs,"
Hechinger noted that the Times was also
the first paper to print the "fads and
figures" of the admissions process for Ivy
League Universities.
However, higher education has not been
harmed by the media's greater access to information, Hechinger said, maintaining
that "It'sgood for education and it's good
for the public. To improve the perception
of education you must be more open about
what goes on in education."
Moreover, when an educator is portrayed favorably by the media there is a
surprisingly high amount of jealousy
among his. colleagues, said Hechinger.
"The letters we tend to get say, 'lie's really pulled the wool over your eyes' or 'He's
really not that good.' We read into thai envy, and the perception of this man's colleagues that he's making them look bad,"
he explained, "This happens in education
more than in other institutions because
(education has) been on the defensive."
Hechinger, who currently writes a weekly education column for the Times, said lie

the realities of the day" as a foreign correspondent in WWII.

Motidale told his supporters,
"I'm at peace with the knowledge
that 1 gave it everything I've got."
"This fight didn't end tonight.
It begins tonight," he said.
The president got news of his
victory in Los Angeles, where he
and his wife watched returns in a
Century Plaza Hotel suite equipped with four television sets.
His supporters greeted him
with chants of "Four more
years," and a smiling president
said, "I think that's just been
arranged."
"Tonight is the end of nothing.
It's the beginning of everything,"
Reagan said.
The president insisted all day he
was superstituously avoiding
predictions, but he felt confident
enough to tell reporters he hoped
to participate in a summit with
the Soviet Union during a second
term in office. In an interview
with the Washington Post, he said
he would push again for congressional approval of a balanced
budget amendment to the Constitution and the right to veto individual sections of spending
bills, two measures he wants to
help reduce federal spending.
He also renewed his call for a
defense system in space designed
to shoot clown missies.

The largest popular vote in
history belonged to Lyndon
Johnson, elected with a 61.05 percent of the vote in 1964. Ironically, Reagan emerged as a conservative spokesman for Republican
Barry Goldwater during that campaign.

Due to the discovery of an RCA Victrola needle
in the attic of the home of Assistant Librarian Mary
Osielski, the University Archives now has a taped

teacher and Dean of Women at the State College
for Teachers at Albany from 1886-1933. Previously, the 1937 NBC interview with "Dean Annie" was

Zebra In The Ballroom
This Sunday, November 11, University Concert Board will be presenting the
rock group Zebra in the Campus Center Ballroom. Zebra, who first gained
public recognition in 1983 with their self-titled debut album, consist of Randy
Jackson, Felix Hanemann, and Guy Gelso. The trio has just released their second LP, No Tellin' Lies.
The group's songwriting chores are handled by Randy Jackson, lead guitarist;
Jackson is also well known on Long Island (where the group first became
famous) as a guitar virtuoso. The group first became known for their fantastic
covers of Led Zeppelin; their own songs take on a Zeppelin-type air at times.
The song "Bears," off the second album has been recieving national airplay;
the most well-known cuts on the first album were "Tell M e What You Want,'
"Who's Behind The Door," and "One More Chance."
Zebra is basic rock n' roll; on stage, no sophisticated lighting or lasers arc used to pad the band's bluesy/rock sound.
Zebra isn't like any of the more "poppy" bands recording today; they're in a
class by themselves. No gimmicks, no flashy showmanship. Just straightforward
rock n' roll.

Obviously, nobody expected Broad
Street to claim a place alongside
Hollywood's finest, but somehow McCartney managed to find enough yes-men at
20th Century Fox to get the eight-milliondollar project financed. This was a shrew
move on his part, as McCartney himself
expressed doubts about the movie. In the
August issue of McCall's magazine, he
described the reaction he hoped Broad
Street would receive... "If people come out
of the cinema not cursing me, saying, I
didn't waste my time of my money', then
that's fine... As for the critics, I just have to
let them at Ibis film, like hyenas on a
bone." Is this the attitude of a confident
screenwriter? McCartney knew very well
how Broad Street would be received.
Here's what this hyena thought...
First I'll offer a brief synopsis of McCartney's box office career. Excluding Broad
Street and various concert films, Paul has
been in four feature films during his career,
all of them with the Beatles. Most people
arc familiar with three of these motion pictures, A Hard Day's Night and Help were
popularly-acclaimed, professionally written and directed comedies. Then there was
Let It Be, a simple, unnarrated documentary showing how the Beatles, who were
sadly about to break up, record their
average album. The movie that everyone
seems to forget is a 1967 project entitled
Magical Mystery Tour, a surrealistic film
about a rock group taking a ride into the
unknown. This plotless waste of celluloid
was the brainchild of, you guessed it, Paul
McCartney, who wrote most of the
"script" and directed the movie himself. No
movie company would bite and the film
was shown only once on British television.
It was considered by everyone, even the
other Beatles, to be a catastrophic flop and
the group never completely got over the
embarrassment it caused.
What we have here, folks, is the new
Magical Mystery Tour, except that insted
of a rock group on a bus ride, Broad Street
features a pop star on a busy schedule.
Really, this is the basic scenario for the
film I
At the beginning of Broad Street, Paul
McCartney (played by Paul McCartney)
flips on the computer built into his car's
dashboard. The screen displays Paul's
schedule for the day... 10:30 a.m. — Recording Studio, 12:30 p.m. — Filming, 2:00
p.m. — Rehearsal, 3>:3>0 p.m. — Interview,
etc. This is not only the day's schedule, it's
practically the script for the movie! McCartney goes from recording studio to film
studio to rehearsal hall, without a storyline
tying anything together.
When Paul announced his plans for this
movie in 1982, he said it was going to concern itself with a typical day in the life of
Paul McCartney. This premise seemed interesting, but one did expect it would involve more than just a camera following
Paul around on a busy day, capturing his
interaction with people you're not even introduced to, many of whom seem for a second to be major characters and then suddenly disappear.
Don't get me wrong. There's supposed
to be a plot in Broad Street; it's just never
developed. The alleged storyline involves
the disappearance of the master tapes for
an album Paul has just completed.
Eveybody suspects Harry Torrington, an
ex-convict whom Paul befriended and offered employment to, as long as he stayed
straight. Harry was supposed to deliver the
tapes to McCartney's office, but he and the
tapes are nowhere to be found. If the tapes
are not delivered by midnight, a mean
businessman will gel to take over McCartney's production c o m p a n y .
As far as Broad Street's acting is concern-
ed, McCartney is mediocre at best. He is
unemotional in his delivery and you never
' really forget that you're watching Paul McCartney act in a movie, He's not the worst
actor in the world, though, and a decent
script might have helped immensely. How
well can even Sir Lawrence Olivier come
off uttering, as Paul did to Harry when offering him a job, "If you're fibbing and you
do one thing wrong, you're out."
The rest of the cast, including Ringo
Starr, his wife Barbara Bach, McCartney's,
wife Linda, Bryan Brown, Ian Hastings and
the late sir Ralph Richardson, aren't amazing, cither. But how can you criticize the
cast or director Peter Webb, when these
people had nothing to work with?
The script is a joke, and not a funny one
at that. I'm not kidding when 1 say at least
half of Broad Street's dialogue could be
classified into one of two distinct groups of
rcpitious communication. The first is the
communication within McCartney's entourage of managers, lawyers, and
associates. This consists of hundreds of
variations on the question, "You don't
think Harry would do a thing like that, do
you?" The second form of communication
occurs between McCartney and people
outside his entourage. Similarly, the question here is, "Have you seen my old mate
Harry around lately?" Then, like
clockwork, after one of these two forms of
dialogue lakes place,- never leading
anywhere, Paul, who is conveniently
always in a musical setting, will obliviously
launch into song. He will say, "OK then,
let's do a number." When the song finishes,
he will say, "That was good." 1 couldn't
count how many times this pattern
repeated itself. It was like Chinese movie
torture!
liven singer Tracey Ulmann, who happens to be a good actress (in England, she's
a regular on a BBC sitcom), is stifled by the
script. The scene where Harry's girlfriend
Sandra (played by Ulmann) tells Paul,
while Hysterically crying, that she doesn't
believe Harry could do such a thing, is
pathetic. Because of the unbelicvability of
the acting and the lack of a storyline up to
this point, Sandra's sobbing is so obviously
Ulmann's acting that it wouldn't have
seemed unnatural for director Webb to
have walked in during the sequence and
yelled, "Cut, Tracey. That's a rap!"
Since music plays such an integral role in
the movie, a review of the soundtrack is
also in order...
. . .And N o More Lonely Nights
The music of Broad Si reel includes nine
old Beatle ami post-Bcatlc McCartney
solids that were re-recorded for the movie.
In my opinion, re-recording classic pop
songs invites trouble; Contemporary music
is unlike, say classical music, where the
music itself, so Intricately laid out by composers for generations of future musicians
lo perform, is what's most important. In
contemporary music, the magic of the song
is rooted in one specific recorded performance of il.
Ringo Starr seems to think along the
same lines. The ex-Beatle drummer refused
lo play on any Beatle remakes. Paul explained in a recent interview, "We were
going to do Hey lude and Ringo said he
didn't want to.., He explained to me,
'Look, I'll do all the new stuff but 1 don't
want to Iry and recreate my performance
on the Beatle songs', and I think maybe the
reason was in case he didn't get it any
belter."
Paul says the reason he didn't use the
original Beatle recordings was because he
wanled to do live performance in the
movie. "I couldn't very well turn up at a
recording studio, sit down and mime lo the
old version of Yesterday. There's no point
in just turning on a tape," he remarked.
Actually, the remakes aren't bad. yesterday and a lyrically revised Here, There and
Everywhere suffer from excessive reverb
and a McCartney vocal that shakes much
more than it used to, but they work. A
jazzedup Long and Winding Road sounds
even better than the overly-produced
original version, although Good Day Sunshine and For No One are rushed through
and lack the feeling conveyed in their
Beatle rendidtion. Wings' Silly Love Songs,
featuring Toto guitarist Steve Lukather and
the electrifying bass of I ouis Johnson
sounds fine and there's an ar zing version
of Tug of War's Ballroom Cjandng on the
soundtrack. This song, lo which Paul adds
another verse, features ex-Led Zeppelin
bassist lohn Paul Jones, Ringo and former
Rockpillans Dave Edmunds and Chris
Spedding. Edmunds' solo is the hardestrocking seventeen seconds on a McCartney song since Heller Shelter. So Bad,
which appears in the film and on the
cassclle, but npl on Ihe record, sounds just
like it does on Pipes oi Peace, so nobody's
missing out.
There are only three new songs on the
Broad Street soundtrack, but they're 'all
good. Nol Such a Bad Boy, again featuring
Ihe raunchy guitar riffs of Edmunds and
Spedding, is McCartney's first real rock
song since 1979's Back lo the Egg album.
No Values is also upbeat but a little less
musically and lyrically exciting. No More
Lonely Nights, which features the unmistakable guitar of Pink Floyd's David
Gilmour. is a great pop song, but a horrifying disco version at the end of both the
movie and Ihe soundtrack album almost
ruins it.
Actually, Broad Street would have made
a great music video. The music is good,
and the simple idea of a trusted employee
disappearing with the master tapes for an
album would work great in a three-minute
context. The climax of Ihe featured song
rnuld coincide with the star finding his
employee locked in a subway station. Give
My Regards to Broad Street is forly times
longer than it should be. Do not see this

Which America?
"This land is your land,
This land is my land
From California
To the New York islands
From the redwood forests
To the gulfstream waters
This land was made for you and me"
When Woody Guthrie wrote this ode to America, he
was celebrating its natural beauty and the chances for true
freedom and equality it offered.
But Woody was more than a nature-loving idealist. In
verses of the song that rarely get published he lashed out
against the conservative, big business world, for exploiting the environment and oppressing those who didn't
have a voice.
Reagan's near coast-to-coast sweep is a vote for the
conservative ideals that Woody saw as threatening to the
land and the people. We will be graduating into a world
that has just endorsed these threatening ideals like never
before in history.

The work of Reagan appointees Anne Burford and James

On the note of a healthy economy — this is where some
of the greatest threats face us. How long can we keep
feeding the wasteful military-industrial economy while
putting our government billions of dollars in the hole?
When the red ink begins to bleed, the fantasy of today's economic success will stain all of us, including those
who were fooled by it at the polls yesterday because they
had a little more money in their pockets right now.
To the equality of all people that Woody cherished: at
home and abroad, Reagan's claim of "bringing America
back," reviving the country's so-called strength, has dealt
a serious blow to human and civil rights.
The America that conservatives want to bring back is
an America that served the political and economic interests of a few at the expense of many; an America that
could get away with seif-serving intervention abroad, and
discrimination at home.

No shame here
To the Editor:
This letter is to thank everyone who aided and supported myself and Colonial .Quad Board in our attempt to
sign comedian John Valby. Unfortunately, once again the
odds were against us. It wasn't the snide comments,
threatening phone calls, SA Execs, the Administration
nor anyone on the ASP that forced us to give up our goal,
it was the subtle persuasion and advice given to me by a
nameless friend in SA. This person simply pointed out
that there were many groups capable of planning offcampus events with their friends, but there is only one
funded group on Colonial, and the money distributed to
the Quad Board should be used to plan an event on the
quad and for the quad. It took a while for me to be willing to put a halt to CQB's involvement, but I finally
decided that it was in the best interest for Colonial,
especially if wc want to plan any events where wc might
need help from the Executive Branch of SA. I'm not saying that the Execs wouldn't help us, I'm just saying that it
would make our working relationship easier.
I'm glad that the Class Council of '86 still plans on getting John Valby. I think that he is a funny man, and even
though I am a female, 1 am not offended by what he says.
John Valby makes his audience laugh at life, and those
who take his humor personally are ones with insecurities
about themselves. We never intended on forcing anyone
to see him, those who didn't wish to didn't have to. Those
of us involved were made to sound like insensitive and irresponsible people, and no one ever considered that we
were just doing our jobs by carrying out the wishes of the
people we represent. At least I'm proud that I tried and
gave it my best shot and never did nor said anything to be
ashamed of. It's too bad others can't say the same.
—Lori Friedman
President, Colonial Quad Board
Ideals and people
To the Editor:
When Anne Burford came to speak last Tuesday evening, she probably anticipated the cool reception she
would experience. There was quite a bit of disruption oci curing in the interactions between hecklers and Student
Forum personel. As one of the protestors I thought I was
exercising my civil right. Yet when I thought it over and
made some inquiries I found myself mistaken. I take
therefore this opportunity to apologize to the Forum and
to Anne Burford herself. I find her a courageous individual and even though my views still differ from her I
would like to thank her for her patience and the human
being she truly is for I owe her a lot. SJnce that evening
I've had time to reflect and see how I myself am a party to
narrow idealism and how this not only destroys any hope
of communicating with the 'other' but also has the nasty
habit of killing them off. Now I know what is meant
when one says, "Ideals don't mean a damn thing in this
world, people do."
—Dean Keichman
Eating disorders
To the Editor:
"After a long day of classes I returned home to find
myself alone in the house. I could do my homework, see
my friends, exercise, or go shopping. Instead my mind
wanders onto one of my favorite topics: food. I rummage
through the cabinets. I start to munch on a Snickers bar
while I prepare a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. After
my sandwich, I slice a piece of chocolate cake and garnish
it with a few scoops of my favorite ice cream. Still unsatisfied, 1 break open a bag of chocolate chip cookies
and sit quietly at the kitchen table popping cookie after
cookie into my mouth. I go to the refrigerator to get a
glass of milk. I take a few forkfuls of the cold baked ziti.
As 1 take my last bite I'm overwhelmed by an overpowering feeling of guilt. I run out of the kitchen and into the
bathroom where I try to get rid of everything I've just
eaten by vomiting it up."
Docs this story sound familiar? It may remind you of
yourself or someone you know. The siory is an example
of someone who is suffering from an eating disorder
known as Bulimia. Bulimics consume massive quantities
of food, usually those high in sugar and high in calories.
Their indulgence is usually followed by a self-induced
vomiting or the taking of laxitives in order to prevent
weight gain and to exert control over their own behavior.
Anorexia nervosa is another eating disorder in which
one starts dieting in the hope to lose a few pounds, but
doesn't stop, sometimes until they are extremely ill or
dead. For the anorexic, food becomes an enemy. For the
bulimic food becomes both enemy and friend or
comforter.
In both situations the struggle for control over one's
own eating behavior and indulgences can reach harmful
extremes. Food becomes the primary concern in one's
life. Days are scheduled around when and when not to
cat. Meals are thought out carefully in terms of what to
eat and how much. The concern for food is stressful and
disrupts the normal pattern of one's life.
The greatest struggle becomes the struggle to control
one's weight and behavior. For many women this struggle
becomes an obsession. The struggle for control is as great
as the yearn for food. It is a constant battle between those
two forces that merge into a single destructive force. The
intensity of both sides of this conflict leave many women
feeling helpless and they are left to continue this pattern.
The cycle of binging and dieting (starvation) becomes an
endless cycle.
The media's emphasis' on weight control, the social
standards for women set by society, family and friends
are all contributions to the disorder. The greatest frustration arises from trying to stop doing something you feel
you have no control over or getting help in a situation
where you feel helpless. Eveyone's biggest fear is change.
Yet, somewhere along the line, those with eating
disorders changed to be in the conditions they're in, so
there is a way to change back.
If you're having trouble handling your eating patterns,
don't be afraid to ask for help because you 're not alone.
Perfection and control can be dangerous goals to strive
for. To be thin can be very attractive, but to be too thin
can endanger someone's life.
A support group for Eating Disorders is being offered
through Middle Earth on SUNY Albany Campus. The
group will be meeting Sunday nights from 7:00 to 8:30
p.m. in the Middle Earth Center — 102 Schuyler Hall,

STAFF WRITE*
While they were waiting for the
final baseball scores and peeling
apples for that night's Community Supper a few weeks ago, Sister
Nancy Langhart and Father Jack
Molyn discussed their work-and
explained how they requested
their ministry.
Langhart and Molyn are serving as SUNYA's Roman Calholic
chaplains-posts they assumed at
the beginning of this academic
year after requesting the job.
" I think it is important for people to know who chose to be here.
It gives us more of a commitment," Langhart said.
Last spring " a notice came out
announcing that the position for
Roman
Catholic
Campus
Minister was vacant at SUNYA,"
said Molyn. He received the position after going through a series
of interviews. " I have been looking forward to becoming a Campus Minister," he said.
" I t ' s no secret there is a shortage of priests, but as long as I
can be spared for Special Ministry
I'll be h e r e , " promised Molyn.
Langhart said that in her order,
the Sisters of St. Francis, it has
only been possible to choose your
own placement for the past five
years.
No major shake-ups are planned, said Langhart. " W e ' r e not
going to try and change things,
since we're both new," Langhart
explained, stating that both
Amnesty International and People and Food would both be continuing their work on campus. In
the past, Catholic chaplains have
served as advisors to the groups,
and Langhart and Molyn said
Successful
Paralegal Careers
Begin at Adelphi
The Oldest & Largest American Bar
Association-approved program in New York.
Both requested lo come lo SUNYA this year
they intend to follow suit.
Molyn, who has been working
with People and Food, said the
group wants to work on publicizing the problems of world hunger.
World Food Day was recently
sponsored by the group, and included several speeches and panel
discussions which were televised
from Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, not many people were
able to attend the day's events on
campus, Molyn said.
Currently, People and Food is
sponsoring a food drive, and club
members tabled all last week in
the Campus Center lobby.
Langhart said she would like to
sec a branch of the international
Catholic peace organization—Pax
Christi established at SUNYA.
She also said she will be working with the Amnesty International chapter to help publicize
the plight of prisoners of conscience imprisoned across the
world.
But, " I don't want lo limit
myself to programs. I want to offer my services in any capacity, "
Langhart said.
Both said they are in contact
with their predecessors
for
guidance and suggestions.
One predecessor, Father Bill
Ryan, "is administering a parish
in Little Falls, before his sabbatical to Washington State,"
next year, Molyn said.
Sister Danielle Bonetti, who
held the job before Langhart "is
now working at Russell Sage. She
moved before I got going, but I
meet with her once in a while,"
said Langhart.
" W e ' r e planning a November
retreat at Silver Bay near Lake
George. It is entitled Journies,"
Langhart said, adding that
another future project will be the
formation of a discussion group
on Calholic identity to meet at
Chapel House.

There is, Gordon said, "a reuirement for a kind of cultural
mnesia (among black people) in
rder to be a good American."
Woodson spent his life trying
o combat this attitude, according
o Gordon. "Woodson devoted
is whole career to correcting
isconceptions about the black
an's past," Gordon explained.
In 1926, Gordon said, Woodon established the second week
f February as Negro History
Week. This observance was expanded in the late 1970's when
President Jimmy Carter signed a
bill making the entire month of
ebruary Black Culture Month.
In addition to founding the
organization that grew to become
the ASALH, Woodson helped initiate the publication of two
magazines, The Negro History
Bulletin and the Journal of Negro
History.
Woodson was born in New
Canton, Virginia in 1875.

With elections over, issues still loom
UCB presents
New York City
(AP) The voting might be over
but the issues remian. Little that
occurred Tuesday has had any immediate impact on them, and
there continues to be a question
of whether they will be dealt with
effectively.
Among the issues are three that
directly affect each individual and
which, for reasons that few will
agree on, have persisted in spite
of promises to deal with them.

There is the issue of employment, or unemployment.
Since the onset of the economic
recovery total civilian employment has risen by 6.5 million
workers — remarkable until it is
dissected.
Jane Norwood, commissioner
of the Burear of Labor Statistics,
points out that in spite of job
creations only 70 percent of the
manufacturing jobs lost during
the recession have been
recovered.
So, the same old jobless problems remain. The new jobs are in
trades and services, many of
which are in areas removed
geographically from the deep
pockets of unemployment, and

The growth of government also
remains an unresolved issue in
spite of efforts by the nation's
most powerful citizen. President
Reagan dedicated his presidency
to the task but failed to accomplish it in four years.
Federal government outlays
and receipts as a percent of gross
national product — the total of
all goods and services produced
— are still growing. In 1980 the
federal government's percentage
was at a peacetime record of 22.4.
It is true that some costs
haven't been rising as swiftly as
before.
But the fact remains that
without third-party intervention
in the form of insurance or
outright financial assistance
millions cannot afford payments.

from Schieffelin.
"The only thing that 1 learned
this year was how to lose," said a
disgruntled Tygar. " I wasn't used
lo losing in high school. We
didn't play with any confidence at
all. Playing next year is not a very
high consideration for me. I'm
definitely leaning away from it."
With some players considering
not to return, and with other
players graduating, Schieffelin
will be looking for players to help
his team.
"I'm going to look at a few
players so that I can start the
season with a different situation," said Schieffelin. " I ' m going to get a better nucleus; I'm going to get experienced players who
can function at a good, Division
III level."
Recruiting freshmen and inducing students to transfer from
other colleges doesn't necessarily
guarantee their being on the team.
This year, players that Schieffelin
had counted on to conlribu'e
didn't even come out for the
team.
"I got some of these kids into
the school, and even got them
jobs," said Schieffelin. "They
didn't even have the common
courtesy to tell me that they
weren't going out for the team. I
know that there's no guarantee
that they'll play for us, especially
in Division III. It shows their
family upbringing. Some people
just want to come to this school
without any intentions of playing.
That's being insincere."
Forget the record for the moment. If the team improved itself
over the season, then the year
wasn't a total loss. According to
Duarte, the team didn't even accomplish that small task.
"I would say that only two
players improved this year —
Scott Cohen and Carl loos, and
that's bad," said Duarte. "People have to improve for us to do
well. I know that I didn't improve. The coach should have
worked with the team and with individuals for everyone to improve. He should have been more
specific when he criticized me. Instead, he just said, 'Paco, you're
playing sh~ty.' Overall though,
he does a good j o b . "
According to Schieffelin,
Cohen was the most consistent
player on the field this year. It's
interesting to note that Cohen
didn't think he would be starting
his senior year.
"1 would have liked to leave
SUNY Albany with a few more
wins," said Cohen. " W e never
had one great season, and I was
hoping that this would be it. Playing soccer hear the past four years
was one of the only things that
kept me from transfering to
another school."
Hopefully the Danes will be
able to put the memory of this
past season behind them as they
look forward to nest year. They
will still have the talent. Whether
or not Albany can utilize that
talent will determine what kind of
year they will have.

'I'he season debut for the
Albany State hockey club
could not have started any better than it did.
In its second year of existence, the hockey club captured the first annual Albany
State Hockey Invitational this
past weekend.
The Albany squad swept past
the Adirondack Junior Red
Wings on Friday night,7-5, and
then edged Mohawk Valley
Community College 4-3 in
Saturday's finals.
In winning the tournament,
Albany's special teams sparkled, killing off II out of 12
power plays while converting 5
out of 12 of [heir one-man
advantages.
"For the beginning of the
season, we looked fantastic,"
said rookie Coach Jim
Cavanaugh. "Our specialty
teams, were just unbelievable."
"this is extremely gratifying," said winger Paul Essner.
"We didn't know how well
we'd size up against the team.
We all just went out there and
skated as hard as we could."
Mike Cavanaugh, the
coach's brother, keyed the
opening round over the Red
Wings by scoring a hat trick.
In that contest, Albany State
broke open a tie game by exploding for 5 second-period
goals and adding one more in
the third.
In the finals, Dane's goalie
Jim Lcskody starred, turning
aside 27 Mohawk Valley shots.
After two periods, the score
stood 1-0 in Albany favor
before both teams' offenses
came alive. MVCC's Jim Yandu tied up the game 52 seconds
into the final session.
Bill Abrams put the Dane's
up 2-1 minutes later, but Patl
Webb knotted the score midway through the period.
The Danes then added two
consecutive goals-one by Chris
Reed and the other credited to
Mike Mondiello-to lift the
Danes in the lead for good.
Albany will play trie Adirondack Junior Red Wings again
this week. According to officials, the game might be
played in the Glen Falls Civic
Center.

Men booters'season filled with disappointment
By Dean Chang
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
One word can describe the season that
Albany State's men's soccer team had:
disappointing.
Every player on the team, along with
their coaches, shared that feeling. The
season started with extremely high expectations, especially after the Danes first two
wins against Oswego and Manhaltanville
in their first two games. But reality and
tougher opponents shot down any illusions
of grandeur.
SUNY rivals Pittsburgh and Cortland
returned Albany to earlh, defeating the
Danes in relatively close matches. Albany
beat LeMoyne in their next game, putting
the Danes over the .500 mark for the last
time in the year. In fact, the LeMoyne
game marked the last time the Danes
would beat anyone in the entire year.
Three wins. Oswego, Manhaltanville,
and LeMoyne. Eleven losses. Plattsburgh,
Cortland, North Adams, Union, Potsdam,
Binghamton (twice), Oneonta, Vassar,
RPI and Stony Brook. Two ties.
Brockport and Siena. All that adds up to
one disastrous season.
There were games where the Danes
showed that they had the ability to compete against some of the best soccer teams
in New York. And then there were games
where Albany managed to play down to inferior opponents' levels, and lose in the
process. This inconsistency baffled
coaches and veteran players alike.
Motivation was questioned. So was ef-
fort. Some players even questioned some
of Albany Head Coach Bill Schieffelin's
techniques.
| "Everyone started to blame everyone
else," said Paco Duarte. "The players
would point fingers or the coach would

highly questionable to see if it's my attitude or the coaching that's caused us to
do so poorly."
The one thing not blamed for the Danes'
misfortunes was ability. It was Albany's
inability to manipulate their talent to produce victories that hurt them.
"We have more skill than the other
teams," said Assistant Coach Afrim
Nezaj. "We made the mistakes thinking
that we didn't have to push lo win. We
never lost a game because our opponents
were better. It would always be because we
didn't try hard enough."
Injuries certainly didn't help the Danes
this year. Captain Jeff Hackctt and Paco
Duarte were hurt for most of the year.
Two-time All-SUNYAC goalie Tom Mcrritt missed the entire season with an injured back. Pat DaCosta broke his wrist
against Oneonta. For these players, this
season was a source of frustration. For
some of their replacements, this season
was a cause of nightmares.
Howard Tygar served as Merritt's
replacement, and did a credible job most
of the time. Tygar did nave his off days

Danes' wishbone tramples over Buffalo, 33-10
Soldini looks to shoot down rushing record against Marist
By Marc Berman
SPORTS EDITOR
It took eight games, but the
Albany State football team finally
showed how unstoppable a
wishbone offense can be when all
the parts are working.
Rushing for a season-high 383.
yards, the Danes powered past
Buffalo University, 33-10, solidifying their chances Of avoiding a
second-straight losing season.
The 4-5 Danes host Marist this
Saturday, a hapless team Albany
has outscored 96-7 in their last
two meetings.
In this Saturday's game, junior
fullback Dave Soldini will need
155 yards to smash the school
season-rushing record of 1009
yards, set by Tom DeBlois in
1975. Soldini, after a slow first
, half in which he fumbled twice,
compiled 90 yards last week to increase his total to 855.
"It would be nice to get the
record," said Soldini, "but I'm
not going to think about it. In the
first half I played too tight
because I thought about it too
much."
Soldini was not the only
backfield threat Saturday. Ro
Mitchell's 134 yards on 10 carries
evoked the highest praise from
Coach Bob Ford. Mitchell, fresh
off a record-setting 96-yard
t o u c h d o w n return against
Hofstra, ran for two touchdowns
in the Buffalo game, including a
73-yard gallop on Albany's first
offensive play of the game.
" H e ' s going to be a great one,"
said Ford, who can already envision Mitchell, Soldini and Dana
Melvin in the wishbone backfield
next season.
In the past, Mitchell has not
been pleased with the treatment
he's received since becoming a
Great Dane last season.. As a
freshman, he was assigned to
junior varsity — a coaching decision he didn't revel in at the time.
Until the last few weeks, Mitchell
was returning kickoffs and played
only a minor role in the wishbone.
Now, after his recent performances, he has solidified his starting position.
"This year I was expecting
more playing time," said the
August Martin graduate. "The
last few weeks things have gotten
a lot better."
The saga of the Danes'
freshman quarterback also keeps
getting better. Jeff Russell, looking more in control of the
wishbone than ever before, scored
the Danes' third touchdown on a
13-yard keeper to cap a crucial
94-yard drive late in the third
quarter.
"That was a big o n e , " said
Russell, who was lifted in the
fourth quarter to rest his battered
body. "I felt good out there. I
was making the right reads. The
training staff did a great job getting me healthy enough to play."
"He's getting better each day,"
said Ford. " H e did a great job
today."
Safety Wayne Anderson was
another key in the Danes' fourth
victory. Besides playing an integral r o l e i n shutting down the
Bulls' aerial attack (known as
'Dando's Airforce'), Anderson
threw for a 39-yard touchdown
pass off and fake punt and ran
for a first down on another fake.
Southpaw quarterback Ken
Hyer threw an astronomical 46
times, completing 22 for 319
yards. Unfortunately for the
Bulls, Hyer also completed four
passes to the men wearing purple.
Although Hyer's yardage was
impressive, his interceptions were
costly to Buffalo. Coaches are
seldom pleased with turnovers.
"Hyer didn't have a good
game," said Buffalo coach Bill
Dando. " H e forced the ball too
much. 1 feel sorry for the whole
team, they embarassed themselves
today."
The Danes wasted no time
lighting up the scoreboard Saturday. On their first offensive play,
Russell made an excellent read,
faking a handoff to Soldini and
pitching the ball to Mitchell on
the option. Mitchell turned the
corner and 73 yards later the
Danes were up a touchdown.
Midway through the second
period, the Bulls knotted the
score assisted by a screen pass to
running back Dane Hightower.
The play netted 74 yards — 59
yards on the reception and an additional 15 on a late-hit penalty.
Two more short completions to
Hightower placed the ball on the
two where Ted Stepien punched
the ball in for the score.
The Danes took a 14-7 lead,
taking advantage of Jim Valentino's 42-yard interception return.
A Chris Haynor 28-yard reverse
play spoiled the ball at the nine.
The next play Mitchell barrelled
nine yards for his second
touchdown of the day.
Buffalo closed Ihe score to
14-10 by adding a 35-yard field
goal 39 seconds before the half.
The second half was dominated
by the Danes, breaking open a
tight contest by scoring one
touchdown in the third and two in
the fourth.
What proved to be the biggest
drive of the game started after
Frank Sarcone intercepted
another Hyer pass, killing a Bulls'
scoring threat.
The Danes then travelled 94
yards in 11 plays — 10 of them
rushing.
"We've moved the ball all year,
but never as consistently as that,"
commented Ford. "That was a
key drive."

The Tact that the National Collegiate
Athletic Association lost its exclusive
rights to televise college football games
will hurt Division III football according to
John Toner, the president of the NCAA
who spoke at Albany's inaugural Hall of
Fame inductions on Saturday,
Toner said that the NCAA will lose approximately $6 million of television
revenues it enjoyed last year. In previous
years, the NCAA had set aside money for
the Division III playoffs. The television
money lost will cause the amount of
money that the Division III schools receive
to be cut.
"That means,"said Toner, "that Division III itself will have to find the ways and
means to fund the championships from
Division III resources."
The Division III playoff format, according to Toner, will expand from its current
eight-team format to double that size in
the near future.
" I t is inevitable,"said Toner, "that
we'll go to 16 teams."
Toner also said that he was not in favor
of a move for Albany State from its present Division III status to ihe Division I
ranks.
" I am very much interested in this type
of Division III school," said Toner..
"Most Division III schools arc small,
private schools with one-twelfth of the
students that the University at Albany has.
This shows some of the bigger schools that
they are not too good for Division III."
Toner, whose two-year term as president
of the NCAA comes to a close in the middle of January, has also served as the
Secretary-Treasurer of the Association.
His relationship with the NCAA goes back
I-AA.
"In those years," said Toner, "we've
spent as much time in the courts as we have
spent out of them."
Toner, who is currently Ihe Athletic
Director at the University of Connecticut,
came to the Hall of Fame banquet as a
favor to Albany's Athletic Director Dr.
William Moore. Toner knows Moore

of the University of Connecticut.
After Moore spoke, the inductions of
the first five members of Albany's Hall of
Fame began. All of the inductees received
medallions at the induction ceremonies.
The first inductee was Gerald Amyot,
who won eight letters in basketball and
baseball, leading the baseball team in bat-
ting average in his junior and senior
seasons. He was also chosen to coach the
freshman basketball squad in his senior
year because of his distinguished career in
that sport. Amyot, who graduated in 1936,
was also given a special gold medal for being the " O n e Who Did the Most for
Athletics" at a personal testimonial dinner
in his senior year. Saturday night, his
medallion was presented by Elmer
Mathews.
The next inductee was Edith Cobanc,
who was a member of Albany's physical
education faculty from 1965 until her
death in 1980. Cobane was the chair of
both men's and women's physical education and she. was instrumental in developing Albany's physical education program.
She was the coach of Albany's gymnastics
team and was the driving force in getting
women's athletics where it is today. Her
medallion, which was presented by
Associate Athletic Director Patricia
Rogers, her successor, was accepted by her
niece, Cindy Cobane.
Next came the induction of Merlin

UAS reports $184,661 surplus in past fiscal year
By James O'Sulljvan
NF.H'S EDITOR
University Auxiliary Services (UAS)
posted a $184,661 surplus lor the
1983-1984 year, according lo UAS General
Manager E. Norbcrt Zahm.
The excess, he said, came mostly from
an improved computer system and a decision to pay for the system gradually,
The information was released at last
month's General Membership meeting of
the UAS corporation, during which Dan
Altman, a SUNYA junior, was elected
UAS Board President for 1984-85.
Half of the $184,661 profit, Zahm said,
has already been sel aside for the UAS'
Long Range Planning Committee, which is
currently looking into a major campus
project for UAS to fund. The other $92,00
will be used for UAS operating expenses,
Zahm said.
There is currently $122,130 in the Long
Range Planning Account, and Zahm said
the money could go towards a project such
as a roller skating rink, a small sports complex, or a UAS mini-mall building.
Zahm estimated that any possible project would cost "in the area of $1
million," and that at least 30 percent of
the total cost would be needed for a down
payment.
Most of the surplus came when the
money UAS set aside for bad debts (services rendered but not paid for) was largely
unused. The account went from $115,00
budgeted to less than $10,000 used, mainly
as a result of a new computer system
which, Zahm said, allowed UAS to collect
more money sooner, so that less money
was at risk.
Further, UAS came out $64,560 ahead
when auditors determined that a computer
program developed for the bad debt ex-

pense computer should be depreciated over
several years, rather than have the entire
cost written off in one year. ."We were anticipating savings (with the program) but
not like this," Zahm said.
Interest on investments was " a major
support of the corporation," Zahm said,
adding that it provides " a substantial portion of our net income each year."
"We're not very broad in investments,"
he said, "because we need to keep them
very safe and very liquid." UAS invests,
Zahm said, in corporate loans where banks
act as agents, such as Traveler's Insurance,
General Motors, Ford Molor Company,
and General Electric. "The bank says
'we've got commercial paper for
sale,' (and) we say 'what's the r a t e ? ' "
"Without interest we would have lost
$200,000" in the 1983-84 year, Zahm said.
UAS made $187,154 from its investments
last year.
"I think it's important for people to
know that the $184,000, or whatever the
net income is, stays on the campus," he
said.
In addition to the Long Range Planning
Fund, Zahm explained, UAS also spent
$47,000 on programming last year. This
money goes to University-wide events such
as Mayfest, where UAS and a campus
organization share the expenses.
"For a lol of organizations," Zahm
said, "without it(programming fund) they
wouldn't exist or they wouldn't have any
programming."
The 1984-85 Programming Fund has
been increased to $80,00, he said. The
"Don't Walk Alone" Escort Service, Five
Quad Ambulance's new garage, Commencement, and the Purple and God service organization arc some of the projects
being funded this year, Zahm said.
UAS does not budget to break perfectly
even, Zahm said, because money is needed
for various plant projects, such as
remodeling cafeterias. As " a slrictly break
even corporation we would do nothing but
just plain exist and there would be no improvements to facilities," Zahm said.
Last year Dutch Quad cafeteria was
remodeled, and this past summer the
Alden-Waterbury cafeteria was redone.
Although UAS does not have any specific
plans, Zahm said that UAS may plan to
redo either Colonial, Indian, or State
Quad cafeterias next summer. He mentioned Colonial has the oldest cafeteria,
but wouldn't say which quad was to be
done next or when the overhaul would be
made.
This year's 7.3 percent board hike was
necessary despite last year's surplus, Zahm
said, because the university has six more
days of classes scheduled this year, and
because of increased energy costs.
Labor, food, and operating costs of the
quad cafeterias requires, he said, "an
enormous amount of money—you've got
7,000 people that are going to eat" at least
one meal a day.
UAS also had to pay $85,000 more in
budgeted utility costs for the quads and the
Kumqual cafeteria last year, and that
figure will be larger this year, Zahm said.
The State Department of Budget, he explained, requires UAS to pay a certain
amount for utility costs over the basic utility charge.

Budget blamed for widening student-faculty gap
By Rick Swanson
NCAA's Toner speaks at Hall of Fame ceremony
OF NEW YORK AT lALBANY BY THE ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
While student enrollment shows no sign
of decreasing at SUNYA, the faculty size
has been shrinking in comparison, providing a widening gap in the student to
facu^y ratio.
Acting President Judith Ramaley offered little hope for immediate improvement, asserting, "there probably will be
very few positions available to the SUNYA
system, because of budget limitations."
In SUNYA's budget request for
1985-86, an additional thirty nine Full
Time Equivalent (FTE) instructional faculty positions are requested, as well as seventeen positions for support staff.
The budget request has been made part
of the entire 1985-86 SUNY budget proposal, which has been sent to Governor
Mario Cuomo for revision and inclusion in
his state budget. The legislature will review
the Cuomo budget, and must vote on it
this spring before the budget can take
effect.
"Each year we've had fewer people to
serve our students," commented Ramaley
on the declining number of faculty, adding
that if "we maintain the staffing level we
had or the number of students declined
somewhat, we could have a more
favorable ratio."
The student to faculty ratio has increased from 15.5 to 1 in 1973-74 to 19.2 to 1 in
1984-85, with the undergraduate student to
faculty ratio now at over 25 to I, according
to the President's Message in SUNYA's
Final Budget Request.
The message also states that "over the
past 12 years budgeted enrollment increased 14 percent while budgeted instructional
resources decreased 8 percent, creating a
net enrollment funding shortfall of 22
percent."
According to Vice-President for Finance
and Budget Gene Gelchrust, "an additional 39 FTE instructional faculty would
take us to an 18 to 1 student to faculty
ratio, which is in progress."
The request for 39 FTE instructional
faculty included five additional positions
in the Computer Science department,
Rockefeller College and the Humanities
and Fine Arts departments; two in the
E c o n o m i c s , Business, Psychology,
Sociology, Communications, Performing
Arts and Education departments; one in
both the Geography and History
departments.
"1 don't know how well likely it is we
will be getting any of these positions," said
Ramaley, adding that the SUNY system is
"but one of many competitors for state
funds."
In the SUNY budget request, Ramaley
said, "We (SUNYA) are not losing any
more money." The budget must be revised
and passed by the legislature by April 1,
1985. Ramaley noted that no loss in state
funds "means we will have a good budget
this year,"
