Men harriers place distant 16th
By Tom Kacandes
STAFF WRITER
Disappointment and frustration were the sentiments expressed by Head Coach Bob
Munsey and members of the Albany State Men's cross-country team after the Danes'
Ifith-place finish among the 21 teams competing at the Division III NCAA National
Championships held at Ohio-Wesleyan College last Saturday.
St. Thomas won the meet scoring only 76 points; North Central Illinois was second
and Brandeis was third. The New York Region fared only slightly better than last year
as fourth-ranked St. Lawrence finished tenth overall with 278 points, Albany was sixteenth with 378 points and Fredonia State took eighteenth, Albany's placing last year,
with 436 points.
A big factor in the Danes' disappointing finish was the allergy attack that Ed McGill
suffered the morning of the race. " H e was so b a d , " Coach Munsey recalled, "that we
thought that he'd have to be taken to the hospital after the race, but it wasn't quite
that bad." Despite the rashes and swelling caused by the attack McGill led the Danes
with his 60th place finish in 26:08.
"Ed had a good shot at being Ail-American," said Junior Ian Clements, "but he
obviously didn't have a good race when he needed to, which happens to everyone."
Possibly the biggest factor in Albany's finish was senior Jim Erwin's poor finish due
to an asthma attack suffered shortly before the race. Erwin finished second for the
Danes at the IC4A Championships this year, and was instrumental in Albany's thirdplace finish. Hampered by his restricted breathing, Erwin did not score for the Danes
when he would most likely have been the team's second or third man.
The man who came through once again to help the lean in the clutch was junior
Craig Parlato. Finishing second for Albany and 77th overall, Parlato ran an exceptionally strong race to finish in 26:22.
" I got a good start and felt god gaing up the hills, so I picked up places the whole
way," Parlato said afterwards. Coach Munsey waxed enthusiastic over Parlato saying,
" H e had a truly outstanding race, maybe the best of his career."
Clements was third for Albany in 101st place overall. "I didn't have an especially
good d a y , " he said. Captain Chris Callaci and sophmore Tim Hoff finished together,
132nd and 133rd, respectively, to wrap up the Danes' scoring.
Junior Chuck Bronner, who finished sixth for Albany and I58th overall said, "It's a
big honor just to qualify for the National Championships. There are over 250 teams
and only 21 get that far, so disappointed or not, it was a good season."
Certainly the disappointment is justified, but in fact, 1984 was the harriers' most
successful season in a decade. Ranked tenth for the last part of the season, the Danes
could easily have made good on the prediction with a healthy Erwin.
"You can play 'what i f all day, but it's in the history books now. I feel bad for the
guys because this team was ready to g o , " Munsey said. The harriers were undefeated
against Division III teams In the dual meet season and went on to snatch the SUNYAC
crown away from Fredonia, take third at the IC4A's and second at the Regional
Qualifiers.
" W e ran tough all season and we won SUNYAC's" commented Callaci, "we did
j the hard work, beat teams who underestimated us and qualified for Nationals twice in
a row: it was a damn good season and now we're done. Good Night."

Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sllwa
"Whether SUNY is adequately dealing with it's crime only students would know."
Sliwas address need for Angels
Vote urged to elicit students' view on campus chapter
By Beth Finneran
STAFF WRITER
"If there's no need for a SUNY
(Guardian Angel) Chapter one
simply won't exist," Lisa Sliwa,
Guardian Angels national director, announced Wednesday at a
Press Conference that preceded
her appearance with her husband
and founder of the organization,
Curtis Sliwa Wednesday night in
the Campus Center Ballroom.
The Sliwas, who were brought
to campus by Speaker's Forum
and were paid $500 each, spoke
b e f o r e a p p r o x i m a t e l y 200
students.
Curtis Sliwa said that his interest in establishing a "satellite
unit" of the Guardian Angels on
campus evolved because the need
was expressed by 13 SUNYA
students.
"Whether SUNY is adequately
dealing with it's crime only the
students would know," Sliwa
said, explaining that the interest
and input as well as the work
would have to come from
students. He added that the need
for a chapter had also been expressed by students at Russell
Sage.
"If students told us to pack our
bags and leave that would be
fine," Sliwa said after suggesting
a debate and referendum so
students could voice their views.
He said that the goals of the
Guardian Angels are to create a
positive role model as well as a
visual deterrent to crime.
Sliwa also expressed criticism
of the police system declaring,
"The quickest way to get in touch
with the cops is not to call 911,
but to get the number of your
local Dunkin Donuts."
Sliwa caused much controversy
when he first began an Albany
Guardian Angels chapter in October. Despite initial opposition
from Albany Mayor Thomas
Whalen, Sliwa confirmed that the
Angels are."here to stay" and the
current volunteers have finished
their first month of training.
The Guardian Angels currently
operate in 53 American cities and
four Canadian cities, said Sliwa
noting that no precedent would
be set by a SUNYA chapter since
chapters currently work at Northwestern, Ohio, and Syracuse
Universities. •
Lisa Sliwa expressed concern
over women's safety, saying it is
"overwhelmingly women who are
victims" of violent crimes. "The
people responsible for our safety
sould be ashamed," she said, adding that she is "sick of those in
power and their egos being more
important than our safety."
He encouraged young people to
get involved now because in the
future, "you'll be so caught up
in the rat race that you won't have
time for a n y o n e
but
yourself...give a little bit of your
time and energy before you get
bombarded."
Lisa Sliwa also slated that the
Angels success has enabled them
to branch into other areas such as
"food and clothing distribution,
self-defense programs, and a
speakers bureau which sends
speakers out into communities."
SA vice-president Suzy Auletta
said she didn't feel there is a need
for a Guardian Angel Chapter on
campus. "Don't Walk Alone
(SUNYA's escort service) is doing
a great j o b , " Auletta explained,
"We have a lot of people dealing
with the problem now as it i s . "
"Don't Walk Alone" is a
volunteer escort service set up at
the beginning of the year.
" A lot of people might get the
idea that there's a lot more crime
than there really is," Auletta said,
adding that the Guardian Angels
signify a high crime area which
she feels the campus is not. -
Auletta also said she didn't
think it would be a problem for
the Guardian Angels to get SA
recognition.
Curtis Sliwa said that every college chapter co-exists with an
escort program.
Rochelle Hichenson, director
of the Don't Walk Alone Program said she could not comment
on the subject of Guardian
Angels.
"We would not attempt to encroach on that (Don't Walk
Alone)," Sliwa said.
He also stated that he saw a
need for the Angels particularly
on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, since Don't Walk
Alone escorts are not available on
weekends, or after 11 during
wccknighls.
The Sliwas were loudly applauded by the enthusiastic
crowd.
"Their presentation wasn't a
pilch. It was more an informative
type of thing," said Liz Russo, a
sophomore. "They wanted to
give you an understanding of
what they stood for."
Joseph Maier, a Guardian
Angel trainee who formerly worked on campus for Burns Security,
said "They need it down where I
live — Arbor Hill is bad." Recalling his job on campus, Maier
said, "it was pretty rough then —
They should try it here."
Secretary of Speaker's Forum
Mike Berman said that the Sliwa's
"were very loquacious, they
didn't dodge any questions and
represented their group very
well."
He added that he personally approves of them greatly and has
nothing against a chapter on

"There's nothing wrong with it if

Q
If the thought of Star Wars
comes to mind when you hear
about the arms race, at least one
SUNYA professor doesn't think
there's much to worry about. " I
never paid much attention to the
technologies of 'Star Wars'
because it is not going to work
technically and it is economically
impossible," said History Professor Richard Kendall.
Kendall spoke along with three
other professors last Wednesday
at a Professors Forum on the
Arms Race held by the New York
Public Interest
Research
Group(NYPIRG) at SUNYA.
Topics discussed ranged from
the proposed nuclear freeze to
Presidents Reagan's "Star Wars"
space weapons proposal.
According to the forum's
moderator, Barbara Abrahamer,
the forum was held "basically to
educate people about the arms
race and to try to get them
involved."
SUNYA History professor
Donald Birn, who also teaches a
course titled Peace and the
Nuclear Age, "the arms race is
taking a dangerous new turn and
it is not appropriate to put all the
blame on Reagan. Nine new
nuclear weapons did not just spring out of Reagan's white
house." Birn said, "he (Reagan)
sees an ominous trend and the key
thing to focus on is new
capabilities of weapons and what
dangers they hold."
"What worries m e , " he said,
"is how much of focus there is on
technology."
" I am as much for peace as
anyone else," began Sandor
Balogh, professor at Hudson
Valley Community College, "but
the question is not who is for
peace and who is for war, but
what is the best war for peace."
Balogh said he believes we must
find a way to defend ourselves, "I
would like to have a system thatthe chance that I will be destroyed
is minimal...I don't want to be
killed even once, I want to be
defended."
Anne Sloan, from SUNYA's
Political Science Department,
said she feels, "we must have
faith in radical technical advances
and the Star Wars strategy falls
into this category."
The U.S. must dominate space
to make it work," Sloan said, ad' ding-that the U J , . s h o u l d "limit
offensive systems before we
develop a defensive system."

SA explores possible new
textbook buy back system
With finals approaching and students eagerly looking forward to
getting rid of their textbooks, Student Association officials are exploring a new buyback system for textbooks, but a University
bookstore manager says the idea won't work.
Student representatives assert that SUNYA's Barnes and Noble
does not offer students enough money on textbook buybacks.
According to Central Council member Michael Solomon, "an
alternative from Barnes and Noble is a necessity."
The alternative SA seeks is a buyback store where students bring
in used textbooks and fill out cards with their names, addresses,
and the amount of money they want for the books. When a book is
sold the card is sent to the student who can then pick up the payment at the buyback store.
However, Barnes and Nobles' manager Marj Campbell said student buyback plans usually don't work.
"This has been tried before on other university campuses, and
even on this one, and it has never succeeded," she said.
"It hasn't worked for a number of reasons," she said, "our
guide has the newest information," and so it would be difficult for
students to come up with information about which textbooks are
going to be needed the following semester.
"This school has an enormous turnover of changing books by
the faculty — most schools don't, but we d o , " Campbell said.

SUNY students.
SASU officials said they were approached by the advertising agency of Morris,
R u s h w o r t h , and p a r t n e r s , which
represents Kaypro. After examining their
proposal, SASU decided to work with
them.
Friedman said SASU is very interested
in acquiring a computer system that would
link all the SUNY campuses together.
Executive director of SASU Scott WexIcr explained, "With the tuition increase
issue, for example, we can use our preprogrammed modern communications
system to keep various student associations informed. It will have definite
political benefits."
As to SASU's motives behind the deal,
Friedman stressed that SASU stands to
gain thousands of dollars of computer
equipment. He also mentioned that SASU
had evaluated Kaypro's system and found
"it's the best for the money."
There were several important factors
that contributed to SASU's first official
entry into sponsorship of a public corporalion. The first is Kaypro's lack of dealings
with South Africa, a country that's come
under heavy criticism for its policy of
apartheid."We looked into it, and Kaypro
has a very clean record on this," according
10 Wexler.
Another main reason for working with
Kaypro, SASU officials said, is that the
political process is very time consuming
for SASU, and a computer would make
inter-campus communication much easier.
In addition, financial accounts can be accessed effortlessly.
One of the possible dangers involved is
that of losing objectivity in the face of a
free ride. However, Wexler dismissed the
fear saying, "There will be no infiltration
by Kaypro into Ihe SASU decision making
process."

A pilot program set up by the Student
Association of the State University
(SASU) and Kaypro Computer Corporation could earn thousands of dollars of
computer equipment for SUNY student
organizations.
According to SASU's executive vice
president Stuart Friedman SASU is not endorsing Kaypro computers, they're just
sponsoring informative demonstrations of
the equipment at five SUNY campuses including Albany, Binghamton, Rockland,
Pittsburgh, and Stony Brook.
Last Thursday and Friday Kaypro held a
demonstration in SUNYA's lecture center
halls. No actual selling took place, but instead students were referred to local
dealers, and offered a 5 percent discount
with their SUNY I.D. cards".
The deal between SASU and Kaypro has
not been specified on paper, Friedman
asserted, explaining that its a pilot program. "We're experimenting and they're
experimenting," he said.
In addition to the five percent student
discount, Kaypro will loan a computer
system to the five pilot campuses for a
several month trial period. If SASU and
Kaypro like the way the pilot program has
worked, Ihcy will explore a deal in which
SASU will receive a free computer system

more than $40 billion off the $206 billion
deficit projected in fiscal 1986, which
starts next Oct. I.
Speakes said that at Monday's first
meeting, the president and his aides were
continuing to look at domestic spending
programs. If they get that out of the way,
he said, the group may tackle the defense
budget in the afternoon. Final defense
numbers probably won't be agreed on until next week, he said.
The male dance review Class
Act will be appearing in the Campus Center Ballroom Thursday,
hul only after residence officials
refused to allow the event to be
held on Indian Quad.
Residential Life Staff decided
against the show about a month
ago, because of a plan to have
SUNYA students participate in
the show.
The event is being sponsored by
Colonial and Indian Quad Boards
and Class of '86.
According to Social Chairman
for Indian Quad Board, Ross
Abelow, "Ihcy (Residence Stall")
claimed it was an event ihcy
didn't feel was appropriate on the
Quad."
"I think it's people's choice off
campus," said Assistant Vice
President for Residential Life,
John Martonc, adding that he
didn'l think "that kind of sexisi
routine" was appropriate for the
atmosphere Ihe University tries to
present.
"1 think it's an absurd decision," Abelow contended.
"Indian Quad Board had
originally planned lo open the
show with a "Chippendale's Contest" in which male SUNYA
students could perform their own
dance routine, said Jessica Casey,
Director of.Student Activities.
The professional act turned out
lo be longer than expected, so the
Quad Boards decided I hat I here
was no need for Ihe warm-up
show, she added.
"It was the warm-up show thai
we were most opposed t o , " said
Martonc. He added that there is a
difference between an entertainment group that is somewhat professional and a warm-up, using
SUNYA students, that would
"just be a group of guys gelling
up and snipping."
Casey said that the Office of
Campus Life had wailed Until il
had all of the necessary information on the revue before deciding
whether or not the event could be
held in the ballroom.
"We don't think it's ihe best
way 10 spend money," said
Casey, adding however that the
revue, "seems to be done in good
laste." She also said thai she did
not foresee any protest to the'
event.
"It's a different situation (compared to female dancers)," Casey
concluded, "based on the fact
thai you arc dealing with men
who are not an oppressed
group."
Marloiic disagreed, saying, "It
would be the same thing as if we
had Playboy Bunnies." He added
that he didn'l ihink there was a
difference whether it was men or
women.
"It's a mallei of community
standards'," he continued. "The
campus community should be
respectful of each individual," he
said. "Our business is not enlerlainment bill education,'' he add-
ed, "I don't think this event accomplishes what we are trying to
do."
Martonc also mentioned that
he "would not be opposed to it if
the appropriate student groups
say this is what their constituents
want."
According lo Abelow, Indian
Quad Board as well as Class of
'86 voted unanimously in favor of
Ihe event and Colonial Quad
Board was strongly in favor of it.
Judy Williams, co-chair of
Feminist Alliance said, "I think
it's disgusting thai student activity funds arc being used for this. If

Officials alarmed at theft of computer programs
By Tom B e r g e n
siAir \\xniw
Despite various steps taken by the Computing Center to increase the security of
the SUNYA computer system, the theft of
computer programs is still a problem, according to faculty and students in the
Computer Science Department.
Computer Science Professor Dean
Arden, who teaches computer science,
said, "Computer cheating is fairly
prevalent...when we do catch somebody its
mostly by accident."
Security for students' files has been increased over the last year, according to
Benjamin Chi, Associate Director of the
Computing Center, who said, "We've set
up for each student a file of his own, accessible only by the user-I.D. and
password. Previously, we had common
files on a course basis, that provided some
degree of security but were potentially
violatable, and once you got into the file
you had access to everyone's stuff."
Chi explained that "the user-I.D. is a
relatively public thing, to prove that you
are using your user-I.D. you have lo supply your password."
The password, Chi said, can be changed
by Ihe student at any lime, and added
'.'There are people who never change Iheir
password and that's awful, it's so easy" to
break into a program in that case.
According lo Dave Reich, a Teaching
Assislanl(TA) in Ihe department, there are
several ways in which a student's program
can be stolen.
A program can be taken out of t h e T A ' s
mailbox, it can be stolen at the dispatch
window, or il can be stolen by gaining access lo a student's computer file, he said.
Reich said he considered the last method
to be the worst, and added, "If I caught
somebody going into a file and stealing a
program I would fail them for ihe
course."
When students want a paper copy of
their programs, Ihey instruct the computer
to make a print-out, and then pick it up at
the dispatch window in the Computing
Center.
When they pick it up, they identify il by
the "banner identifier," a number and letter combination. If the student is not
careful in keeping Ihe identifier a secret,
another student may be able to steal Ihe
printout, Reich said,
Scott Apfcl, a teaching assistant for CSI
201, fell Ihe most common problem with
programming assignments was sharing,
saying, "Most people, if they have someone else's program, Ihe other person
knows about i l . "
Reich said he felt thai much of Ihe problem with stolen programs is a result of
siudcnls not being careful enough, and not
being adequately trained " to use Ihe comp u t e r t e r m i n a l r i g h l to p r o t e c t
themselves."
Last September, the Computing Center
issued a publication entitled "Standards
and Ethics Governing the Usage of University Central Computing Facilities."
The Standards hold the student responsible for protecting the integrity of their
user-I.D.'s and passwords as well as for
"any misdeeds associated with that
user-I.D., regardless of who actually committed them."
Another problem is the theft of computer lime. Al the beginning of the

Student 'exam bank'
proposed in Council
to raise prof quality
By Christine Reffelt
STAPH WRITER
Students who arc wondering about the exams their professors will give next semester may be able to find out
before the day of the test.
During a Central Council meeting last Wednesday,
members of the Academic Affairs committee disclosed
that they are working towards designing an "open test
bank," according to Mike Miller, the
Committee's chair.
Pontral
"All types of tests from every class
Wllldl
would be filed for student use," he ex- C o u n c i l
plained. The new test system would
"prevent profs from encouraging
cheating" by giving the same tests out year after year.
"It's a pretty controversial issue for next year," Miller
said, "and President Ramaly supports the idea one hundred percent" because it would force professors to make
up new tests.
According to Miller, the test bank would most likely be
located in the SA office "for security reasons," and
would be available to all students.
It is being designed in an effort to curb cheating and
stop some students from getting an unfair advantage over
others. Miller explained that some students obtain old
tests, study them, and then take tests which arc either the
same, or very similar.
The test bank would put an end to this, he said. It
would also upgrade the quality of teaching practices, he
addded.
However, according to one student who prefers to remain anonymous due to "argument potential" certain
fraternities on-campus already have such "test banks."
Edward Milgrim, President of Delta Sigma Pi, a
business fraternity, flatly denied the allegations. "We do
not have a test file," Milgrim stated.
"As a recognized international fraternity, our image is
the most important thing we have...we never compromise
ourselves or the name of the fraternity," he explained,
adding that "for this reason it is impossible for me to
conceive that the fraternity would ever formulate a test
rile,"
The student claims to have seen the filing system in the
fraternity's office. "The tests are arranged in manila
folders and clearly printed on the provided tabs are the
course names." Any member of the fraternity has access
to the tests, "But it is very secretive," the source charged.
The fact that they have this study tool is an unfair advantage, the student added.
Milgrim however, denied the allegations. "I've been in
the fraternity for four semesters and as far as I know the
fraternity does not have or circulate any tests, other than
those which have been released by professors. As Professionals, the brothers do not promote or accept cheating
by formulating a test file," he added.
The student said s-he stumbled upon the test file last
semester. "I was having problems in statistics, and someone just opened up this filing cabinet in the office and
showed me tests from all different subjects. Some of the
tests dated back to 1978."
In other council business, SA Vice President Suzy
Auletta announced plans for a vandalism awareness program next semester, although she said, it is still in the
planning stages.
The program is necessary, she maintained, due to the
increasing amount of on-campus vandalism. Auletta explained that many students are abusing university
property,
"Recently a tower carpet was set on fire," she said,
"and our biggest target is fire safety equipment." An
awareness program would show students the seriousness
of such acts, she added.
•a
Student Association has backed off its plan to ask for
the resignation of Harry Hamilton, SUNYA's Dean of
Undergraduate Affairs, although according to student
leaders, great differences still remain between them and
Hamilton on matters of academic policy.
In particular the question of foreign instructors' ability
to speak English is still an issue, as well as the administration's plan, slated for next fall, to place a "W" on
students' transcripts when they drop a course later than
10 days into the semester.
Student leaders held a meeting with Hamilton Monday
and, according to SA President Rich Schaffer, "We were
going to ask for his resignation, but things got cleared
up."
SA officials had decided to ask for Hamilton's resignation after reading comments he made concerning foreign
instructors in the November 20 issue of the Albany Student Press.
In the article, Hamilton was quoted as saying,
"Students aren't tolerant enough to put in the effort to
understand the accent. If you listen you can understand.
If you resist it, you'll still be having trouble at the end of
the year."
In a letter dated November 29, and addressed to
Hamilton, Mike Miller, chair of \ Central Council's
Academic Affairs Committee said, "It can only be hoped
that the ASP issue containing your highly unattractive
comments does not find its way into the hands of prospective high quality SUNYA applicants.".
Later, in the same letter, Miller wrote, "It is as if you
have gone out of your way to antagonize and alienate the
undergraduates whose educational interests you should
be working to improve and protect."
In discussing yesterdays meeting with Hamilton, Miller
said, "We were concerned about communications between him (Hamilton) and SA, and the extent of student
input into policy decisions - and a lot of the problems
were cleared up."
Hamilton also felt that the meeting had improved relations, and stated, "Whatever real problems and perceptual problems there were between the people from SA and
myself got aired and were resolved."
Hamilton defended the " W " policy, calling it, "a
neutral grade" that would "by discouraging ovcrcnrollment, make more courses available to more students,
thereby adding flexibility" to student schedules.
He suggested that next year there would be greater concern with foreign instructors' ability to speak English,
and said, "We would have an opportunity to evaluate actual language skills of all potential Teaching Assistants
and make some decisions then as to their suitability to the
classroom."
Acting President Judith Ramaley also suggested that
tests of spoken English would be instituted saying, "Dick
Farrell (Associate Dean for Graduate Admissions and
Policy) is looking at that question with some consultants.
There are (oral) tests that can be applied by the faculty."
Farrell is head of the SUNYA program which evaluates
the English language ability of student teachers who do
not speak English as their primary language, Ramaley
said. Farrell could not be reached for comment.
Miller said that the Academic Affairs Committee hopes
to work more closely with Hamilton in the future. "We
still have major policy disagreements and still will on vital
issues, we want to be satisfied that both sides realize the
need to communicate."
He also said that the Committee is currently working
on new "W" proposals and "the role of students on

Controversy with Hamilton is "cleared up.'
Committee to explore "W" policy alternatives
By Ian Clements
STAFF WRITER
Two student-initiated alternatives to SUNYA's new
add-drop policy, known as the "W," which is to take
effect starting in the fall semester of 1985 have been
submitted to University Senate's Committee on
Academic Standing.
The committee is scheduled to review all proposals
for changes in the policy Tuesday morning.
At the committee meeting it "may be determined
that the policy, as scheduled to go into effect, should
be modified or should remain," said committee chair
Jonathan Bartow. The Committee's recommendations
will be passed on to the Senate's Undergraduate
Academic Council, he said.
The Council will review the recommendations and
will then submit a bill to the University Senate, according to Senate Chair Patricia Rogers. Most proposals
go through the Committee and Council rapidly, she
said.
Senate members approved changes in the add-drop
system last spring when they passed a measure that extended the add deadline to the tenth class day of a
semester. The drop deadline will remain near the
midterm point but any student who drops a course
after the tenth class day will have a " W " placed on his
or her transcript.
One student proposal calls for an add deadline at the
tenth class day of the semester and a drop deadline at
the fifth week, with no "W's" to be assessed when a
student drops. It has been submitted by the Committee
on Academic Affairs (A-Comm) of Central Council.
The other proposal calls for one "penalty-free drop"
which would allow students to drop one course without
receiving a "W."
Currently the add deadline is the sixth day of classes
asnd the drop deadline is near the midterm point.
When a student drops a course before the deadline the
course is deleted from his or her transcript.
Academic Committee (A-Coram) chair Mike Miller
said the reason his group has proposed a five week
drop deadline is not "to give students a chance to see
mid-term and other grades before making a course
retention decision, as the midterm point is at the eighth
week of the semester." Rather, it is designed so that
"students can decide whether a course is appropriate"
or whether a "professor is effective."
Miller said he hopes A-Comm's proposal reaches the
Senate floor "early next semester."He would like
changes to be made in the policy before the
"Undergraduate Bulletin goes to the printer in
February." According to Miller, "It would be hard to
make revisions and let students know about it" if the
Bulletin contains the policy slated for next fall.
Miller called the "W" policy a "band-aid," saying,
"Students are forced to abuse the system because of inadequate advisement. They're going into courses
blind," he assserted. "They (students) don't know the
courses' content or workload or the personal and
educational qualities of the professor. It is quite possible to sign up for courses inappropriate for them
educationally or career-wise," he added.
Other sections of the A-Comm proposal include
"pre-pre-rcgistration" in every department for
students majoring in that department and "strict enforcement of the 21-credit limit" during the add-drop
period. Both provisions will help students to register
for courses they wish to take, Miller said.
Alumni Quad Senator Irwin Weinstein, who is sup-,
porting a proposal along with Alumni Quad Senator
Andrew Wigler that includes a "W," acknowledged,
"There's a problem with overregistration, as much as
we hate to admit it."
Since their proposal permits one drop without a
"W" it will not stop students from experimenting with
subject areas with which they are unfamiliar, he said.
However, for abusers of the system, such as students
who register for 21 credits and drop down to 12, they
"would get "W's" like crazy," he explained.

Blood disorder tested
Former staff member of the Student Health
Service Margaret Krikker has founded the
Genetic Foundation for Hemochromatosis, a
disorder where people absorb too much iron into
their blood.
According to Krikker, Hemochromatosis can
be fatal without treatment, but if treated, the
symptoms, including liver scirosis, diabetes and
heart problems, may be relieved.
Testing for Hemochromatosis is currently being conducted in Red Cross bloodmobiles in
fourteen counties in the local region, said
Krikker.
By giving blood regularly, people with the
disorder may reduce the amount of iron in their
body, treat the disorder, and help others by giving blood at the same time.

social hour for the veterans.
Cable said that he hopes some students will
sign up to make return visits to the Hospital to

Community Service credits are available for
this, but Cable said the veterans are very happy
with the one time visit. The veteran's administration is very, excited about it, he said. . .

Wanted: Candidates for university presidents
(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) "The
American college and university
presidency is in trouble," a new
study reports.
Things are so bad, the study
says, that qualified applicants
don't want to become college
presidents, and, in some cases incumbent presidents want to get
out of their jobs.
The study, conducted by the
Commision of Strengthening
Presidential Leadership, warns
the president's job has become
too difficult, stressful and constrained at many institutions.
Colleges have "unnecessarily
and unwisely" diminished the
power of their presidents in the
past 20 years through increased
government controls, and meddling by faculty and governing
boards, the study says.
The study adds the problems
are driving away the top academic
officials most qualified for the
job.
"Institutions must ask 'how
can we make the presidency attractive to qualified applicants,' "
s u g g e s t e d Nancy A x e l r o d ,
spokeswoman for the commission's sponsor, (he Association of
Governing Boards of Colleges
and Universities(AOB).
"Presidential search committees cannot simply sit back and
wait for applications," she added. "They must carefully seek out
candidates who qualify for the
position."
But only about half of the nation's best-qualified academic officers want to become a college
president, the sludy claims.
And while finding presidential
applicants is frustrating, retaining
qualified presidents is often
harder.
Presidents are stymied by
federal and state controls, particularly "sunshine" laws requiring that they conduct official college business in open meetings,
the report asserts.
Increased faculty influence in
hiring teachers and governing
board intervention in daily
decision-making also discourages
presidents.
"The power of a governing
board and how it relates to the
president in many cases reduces
the power of the president,"
maintained Larisa Wanserski, an
AGB spokeswoman.
Governing board actions can
"isolate (a president) from the
public, making it hard for him or
her to make decisions," Wanserski said.
The beleaguered presidents
often act by resigning.
During any two-year period,
the study reveals, about 30 percent of the nation's college
presidents are leaving or thinking

15 or 20 years ago was fine for
that time. Now, it's time for
something else."
McCarthy said most colleges
are looking for presidents with
administrative experience rather
than strictly
academic
background.
Ramaley finds president's job challenging
By Lisa Strain
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
"The position of college president isn't as attractive as it used to be, especially in larger institutions," said Acting SUNYA President Judith
Ramaley in an October interview.
She went on to explain that "fifty years ago the
president was just the head of the faculty and was
still teaching and considered a scholar. The president worked towards creating an academic climate.
In more recent years the president has become the
resource collector—acting as a representative to the
outside, seeking political and financial support for
programs, and spending less time working with
faculty and students."
Ramaley is acting as University President while
President Vincent O'Lcary is on a study leave in
Yugoslavia.
"Some (college presidents) enjoy this, but others
don't want to get far from why they chose the
academic field in the first place.They find the
presidency to be like being the chief executive of a
large corporation—they're not directly engaging in
those activities which drew (hem in to begin with,"
Ramaley said.
For Ramaley, one of the best aspects of being acting president is that " I ' m more drawn into the
company of the many publics which the university
serves—I enjoy talking lo alumni, parents,
students, and community leaders. I try to find out
how the university fits into larger communities,
especially since we're approaching national prominence in many of our g r a d u a t e and
undergraduate programs."
Serving as Acting President of the university
while maintaining her position as Vice-President of
Academic Affairs has given Ramaley an unusual
perspective. "I've been working with every other
vice-president in a much closer, more open way
than I'd have a chance to do as vice-president. The
president presides over all the different functions of
a university and I can see the ways in which public
relations and fundraising can enhance the educational qualities" of a university, Ramaley said.
One of the reasons why the role of college president may not be as appealing now for academic officers is that "the president gets caught in the middle between groups on campus and the outside
world. The president works with a number of outside publics who feel they have some right to
oversee" activities within the university, Ramaley
explained.
Most academic officers don't want to lose touch
with the academic world, Ramaley said. "They're
having too much fun, and the president's role isn't
as satisfying. This is a tragedy, because the president embodies the whole institution,"she added.
Ramaley stated that " I realize how challenging
and interesting the presidential role is, but also how
hard it is to keep in touch with the academic
world." She went on explain, though, that in a
smaller institution with an enrollment of 1500 to
2000 this is not necessarily true.
Ramaley is looking forward to teaching a course
next fall because "once a teacher, always a teacher.
1 really miss teaching, and as a college president I
certainly wouldn't have the time to do both." According to Ramaley, her appointment is officially
terminated January 15, when Presidenl O'Lcary is
expected to return.

Jorma Kaukonen's Blue Tunes
O
n a rainy M o n d a y night a short
lime ago. the Lone Star Cafe, at Sth
Ave. and 13th Street in Manhattan.
was filled w i t h people talking freely,
laughing loudly, and d r i n k i n g excessively.
Jorma Kaukonen had just finished the first
of t w o shows that night, and most o f the
people w h o had come f o r the first show
had already decided to lay out another ten
dollars and stay for the second show.
ing, it's all a lot more obvious it)
an onew o u l d expect. I'm really an awesome
guitar player • and he did some stuif | na |
I'd have to really know what he was
doing."
Another one of Kaukonen's favorite
musicians is Jelly Roll M o r t o n a conlem.
porary of Blind Blake's. M o r i o n penned a
iot of blues tunes in his lime, many of Ihem
with sexual undertones (e.g. Dime ior a
Beer, W h i n i n g Boy Blues). Did Morion
have some hangup about, or preoccupation
w i t h sex?
" W e l l , we all k n o w that his songs have
something to do w i t h sex. and we assume
this because of the lyrics to his songs," explained Kaukonen," but, more specifically
I don't know.,.! think he just wanted Io parl y and keep the cash flow happening and
all that stuff. I've read a bunch oi stuff
about him and his songs, but I don't care
what people say • if y o u weren't there, you
don't k n o w what the hell lies talking
about."
Eric Nehrbauer
H o w does Kaukonen account for his
popularity?
It's hard to account ior these things
sometimes. I like to think it's because I'm a
good guitar player. There are a lot of guitar
players out there.- I've been pretty lucky I
guess."
Age has been kind io Kaukonen. now
43, w h o has retained his laid back manner
in spile of his nearly 20 years in the
sometimes chaotic sphere oi contemporary
music. Last year alone he travelled about
170.000 miles. Ireking across the country
five times in ten months. I could always
get a job as a truck driver if things get really out of hand." he mused.
There are those w h o have it alot easier.
When asked about his feelings towards
those in com temporary music who are less
talented, yet make more money than him
Kaukonen explained, "it doesn t tvther me
a bit. I mean, I feel free to criticize peoplel
don't like, but it's not on the basis, i making money: 1 hale Io see people starving.
As the audience patiently listened to the
ivarmup band before the second show.
Kaukonen relaxed in his dressing room
w i t h a bottle of Beck's in hand. His front
gold tooth, which sparkles in the spotlight
when he's on stage, appeared dulled in the
oO watt incandescence of the unkempt
room.
Kaukonen has been performing solo his
o w n unique style of timeless blues,
spirituals, and originals for nearly 15 years
now. He has played w i t h
Jefferson
Airplane, Hot Tuna, and Vital Parts, but he
admits his preference lies in the art of playing solo acoustic guitar. In an age of electronics and synthesizers, Kaukonen's audience continues to grow w i t h each passing
year.
His own way of life seems to have gone
directly opposite that of Jefferson Starship's. Though both have roots in Jefferson
Airplane. Kaukonen finds himself playing
in small to medium sized bars and
nightclubs, whereas
Jefferson Slarship
plays to megacrowds in football stadiums
He really doesn't w o r r y about this though,
and he confided, " I can honestly say that I
haven't heard a Jefferson Starship song in
probably six years."
His "devil may care" attitude towards
commercial stardom is reflected further in '
his opinion of those in the audience w h o illegally record his performances: " If
somebody asks me if they can record a
show, and they're nice about it. I usually
say yes; if they give me a bunch of shit,
then I say no...basically, it doesn't bother
me a bit, since it's bound to happen
anyway."
The Lone Star can legally accommodate
420 patrons. According to the manager of
The Lone Star, w h o asked to be identified
only as Sven. (Jorma is the celebrity
tonight, not me," he explained) the official
count at the end of the first show was 396
people.
H o w does the size of the audience affect
Kaukonen?
" The size of the audience really doesn't
matter too m u c h , " said Kaukonen. "I just
d i d this tour of Italy, doing just what I'm
doing now (solo acoustic), and I was drawing 2.000 to 4,000 people a night, which is
a pretty fair sized c r o w d , but because of
the way things are over there, it feels real
intimate. I k i n d of like an intimate feeling.
N o t that anybody is rushing to give me
stadium jobs, but I really don't like those
great big jobs f r o m a musical point of
view."
" A s far as people cheering or yelling out
in the middle of a song goes. I have a lot o f
concentration, and I've played so many
bars, it doesn't bother me. .as long as I can
hear myself playing."
His tour of Italy this past March, which
consisted of about a dozen shows, gave
him the opportunity to reflect o n the dif-
"Talent is not necessarily a prerequisite
for success, athough it helps sometimes.
There are a lot o f olher variable thai lake

ferences and similarities between audiences
in Italy and The United States.
because of a lot of intangible things. 1
usually like the Lone Star pretty much,
even though the sound is atrocious."
" The audiences in Italy are a lot like East
Coast audiences in their energy. The
Italians are far out • they're really into shit like opera, for example. If the soprano
doesn't hit that high C. w i l l then, shit,
you're nothing Io them. They're into all
different kinds of music though, whatever
it is, and if I'm playing and I gel off a really
good lick, they'll cheer " b r a v o " and stand
up and stuff...It's really exciting."
1 play at prisons (in the U.S.) a lot, and
in a way it's very similar: if y o u don't
satisfy your audience, they let you know
right away."
When asked if he has a favorite or a least
favorite place in which he plays, Kaukonen
gazed al the table covered w i t h emply beer
bottles and cigarette butts and mused, "Let
me see...I guess Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel is
one of my least favorite halls..." His mask
oi deep thought was betrayed by the wide
smile which he could no longer suppress. "
It really depends on so many things. Sound
isn't everything. Sometimes you can have a
great time in a hall even if it's lousy
" I prefer what I'm doing n o w (laid back
blues, spirituals, and originals) w i t h an
acoustic guitar, but if y o u want funny
noises and such, there's nothing like an
electric guitar. When 1 play w i t h Michael
(Falzarano, his friend, a r h y t h m guitarist),
it's somewhat different. W e usually just
call it "rubber rock". though I don't k n o w
exactly what you w o u l d call it if y o u were
looking for a catch phrase. It's rock and
roll, I guess."
There is an old song, "Police Dog Blues".
by Blind Blake, a bluesman o f the thirties.
It is a very complicated song, with many
subtleties navigable by only the most
talented guitarists. Jorma Kaukonen is one
of those guitarists. Is "Police Dog Blues"
the hardest song in his repertoire?
" If I've done my homework, it's all pretty much the same. That was a tough song
to w o r k out. but once you k n o w the lim-

Sweet success, sour suspicions
A
re we getting the best deal from SASU's
deal? '
Last week in our own Lecture Center
halls SASU crossed the capitalistic threshold in
a pilot program with Kaypro Computer
Corporation.
Their experiment to hook up with private
enterprise is promising, both for us and them.
But this involvement raises questions about how
a student group gets mixed up in the business
world.
The deal is that SASU co-sponsors demonstrations of Kaypro computers at five SUNY campuses. In return, Kaypro is giving a 5 percent
special discount to students buying their products.
In an informal agreement, Kaypro will provide a
computer system to each of the five campuses,
and one to SASU, for a trial period of a few
months.
In many ways, this is a really sweet deal. But
these sweet offerings arise from a half-baked
recipe that could sour in our stomachs after
we've already swallowed the bait.
In other words, there are some serious problems that have to be dealt with before we can
happily accept the apparent benefits of this
program.
In working with Kaypro, SASU, along with
the SA's o f the five campuses, has come within
a hair of endorsing a commercial product and
company.
There is a big difference between providing '
consumer information for students and working
to promote one brand of a product. Does SASU
have the right to start telling students what to
buy? Are they representing all students fairly, or
are they taking decisions into their hands which
aren't rightly theirs to take?
SASU 's intentions are to serve the students
of the SUNY system, but it seems they are letting their own desires drive them away from
their good intentions.
The lure of tens of thousands of dollars worth
of free computer systems, linking SUNY student
governments and groups across the state, is a
mighty temptation. That kind of information
processing and communication is normally
beyond the reach of our organizations, and it
could work miracles for what student groups all
over the state could do.
Kaypro is also one of, if not the only, major
computer company that has no financial ties to
South Africa. The fight for divestment of U.S.
corporations from the racist aparthied regime is
a major cause of SASU. Again, the temptation
of furthering a SASU cause may have pushed
them to overstep the boundary of fairly serving
the students they serve.
W i t h all their good intentions, SASU must
be more careful not to take more authority and
influence into their own hands to serve their
own needs, or their idea of students' needs, at
the expense of fairness and our free choice.
This pilot program is a good try at tapping
the massive potential of the marketplace to serve
students. As long as the students, all students,
remain the priority, SASU can expect the sweet
taste of success to come their way again without
the bitter aftertaste of sour suspicions.

Justice for whom?
Workers exposed to asbestos, women whose mothers
took the drug DES, homeowners in Long Island who used
the pesticide chlordane, tungsten carbide workers in
Syracuse and firefighters who inhaled polyvinyl chloride
all have two things in common: they are victims of toxic
exposure and victims of New Yorks unfair statute of
limitations law. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers
have been exposed to a variety of harmful substances that
cause cancer and other debilitating diseases yet they have
no legal recourse. New York law states that these victims
must sue for damages within three years from the time of
their exposure, but the latency period for their illnesses is
often 20-30 years. Thus, they are victimized twice: by
their often fatal medical problems and by their inability
to seek compensation.
John Goldsmith
The existence of such an unfair law is no accident. The
drug companies, chemical manufacturers and insurance
corporations that would be forced to pay for the damage
they have caused are some of the most powerful political
institutions in the state. These corporations, in many
cases, have knowingly exposed workers and consumers to
carcinogens and now hide behind a law that shields them
from financial responsibility.
For a year and a half NYPIRG has played an active
role in trying to change the law in an effort to open up the
courts for toxic victims. The legislation we support would
allow victims to sue within two years from the time they
discover their illness (the so-called "discovery rule")
rather than from the time of exposure. There are 39 states
that have adopted such a statute. In addition, the law
would contain a "revival clause" that would give all victims of past exposure one year in which to file suit.
This past year, NYPIRG and the Toxic Victims Access
to Justice Coalition came closer than ever to passing the
bill. After unanimous passage in the Assembly, a huge
statewide effort backed by unions, victims, environmental groups and religious organizations pushed the bill out
of the Senate Codes Committee for the first time. The
committee chair, Ronald B. Stafford of Plattsburgh,
became the chief sponsor and lent his powerful support to
the campaign. The bill then went to the Republican Conference in the Senate — a closed meeting of the
Republican senators where the fate of much legislation is
determined — where it languished for several weeks as
victims poured into Albany, phone calls came in at the
district level and pressure in the media mounted. This effort got 24 of the 35 Senate Republicans to publicly support the bill: a clear majority that would lead one to
believe the legislation would pass out of the Conference.
However, without the TV cameras and constituents
looking on, the Conference turned around and killed the
bill just before the end of session. Their strategy was to
propose a "compromise" that would have excluded most
existing victims and made product liability suits in general
much more difficult to win. The Senate recessed without
passing any toxic victims legislation.
Why did the bill die? Clearly, an important reason was
the opposition of Majority Leader Warren Anderson.
However, if all 24 senators who supposedly were "strong
supporters" of the bill had stood up in Conference to
argue on its behalf we would have seen a different result.
Apparently, some of our "strong supporters" either
stayed quiet or changed their minds when they went
behind closed doors.
Despite the fact that the legislation did not pass, the
campaign was by no means a failure. Strong coalitions
were formed in many areas around the state, the issue
galvanized and trained NYPIRG students, support for
the bill increased and we gained visibility in the media and
legislature. Now that we have raised the toxic victims problem as a major issue it is time to take the next step and
gain passage this session.
To The Editor:
The staff of Telethon '85 would like to thank everyone
who came out to "Twist and Shout" and raise over 6,000
dollars in support for Telethon. Dance Marathon was a
huge success due to the support we recieved from the
dancers, pledgers, and owrkers. We would also like to
thank Party Master Videos for giving us a four hour
video show that made the ballroom rock; and WCDB for
continuing the great music through the remaining 24
hours. Pepsi was kind enough to donate enough soda to
keep the dancers from dropping, and E&D Beverages
once again provided T-shirts and mugs as prizes for the
dancers. There were many other businesses which contributed to the dance marathon and we would like to extend our thanks to them as well. We would like to remind
the dancers that it is important to collect the money
pledged to them by Friday, December 7. for the final
prizes to be determined. You all did a great job in raising
the money, lets do our best to send it in.

Unfair advantage
To the Editor:
"Delta Sigma Pi is a business fraternity organized to
foster professionalism..." And so it goes in the printed
pages of a hopeful pledge's guide booklet to
Brotherhood.
Delta Sigma Pi is one of the few fraternities found here
at SUNYA. The members apparently are selected on a
basis of predicted academic success, future professionalism, and other qualifying attributes. The new
pledges are buffed and shined to become model brothers
of the professional organization.
Becoming closely involved with a brother, I have fallen
upon a hush hush atrocity. A filing cabinet of old exams.
After actually seeing the collection myself, I felt it was
imperative to make this known to others. The tests are indeed, professionally arranged in manila folders; clearly

F^T-rwecgA«i> serosa The author is a SUNYA student working on the Toxii
Victims Access to Justice project.
This year there will again be great emphasis put on bringing local organizations and victims into a coalition. In
order to get this bill passed this year, this coalition must
be larger, better organized and more visible than last
year. NYPIRG is working hard to help these groups join
together and work together.
Locally, NYPIRG has been meeting with the unions,
church groups, victims and community organizations in
the Capital District. The first step has been to give out information concerning the issue and to ask for support.
Next, on December 11 at the Albany Public Library,
NYPIRG plans to bring these people together to discuss
the issue and plan for future action.
During the spring, while the legislature is in session,
this coalition will work together to make the state government understand that there is a great deal of public support behind the toxic victims bill. Letter writing, petitioning and other events will be aimed at the legislators. The
successes of last year and this year again show that individuals can make a difference. People wishing to help
this campaign should contact the NYPIRG office in the
Campus Center.
Many thanks

I do not hazard the thought that anyone could deny the
beneficial value of an old exam used for study purposes.
In my two years of study here, I have never once been so
fortunate as to have "stumbled" upon an old exam
And now one sunny afternoon, a drawer slithers out from
hiding, exposing the markings of Accounting, Marketing,
Geology, Economics,..., in orderly patterns.
So hey Delta Sigma Pi, what do you say? Can you
share some of this professionalism with the rest of us?
How about offering all of the tests /or student use, evening out some competition? Since we cannot all sell donuts
for the fraternity, and have a special pin in our sock
drawer, at least we could have the same study tools.

Visit the lounge
To Ihe Editor:
I thank Robin Sardegna for her concern about the
Jewish Lounge. It is unfortunate that she formed her opinion about the Lounge without first coming to see it for
herself.
If Ms. Sardegna had visited the Lounge she would have
noticed that it bears no resembleance to her church "coffee house."
In fact, the Lounge has served students and faculty
members of many different religions and ethic groups.
We provide information and resource material on:
—Judaic Studies courses
—Jewish happenings on campus and in the community
—The Holocaust and the Potential Holocaust
—Anti-Semitism
—Jewish communities throughout the world
—Free counseling services
Students also come here to study for tests, write papers,
take naps, gossip with friends, eat junk food, and waste
time between classes.
Robin is absolutely right about the location of the
Lounge. It's not very easy to find. The Jewish Lounge is
located on the 3rd floor of the Campus Center in room
320 (smack in between WCDB and the ASP). It is important to note that before the lounge was opened, the space
was being underutilized by a handfull of students for a
few hours a week.
After sitting in the Jewish Lounge for 4 to 5 hours a
day for the last month, and witnessing its intermitant
usage, I can safely say that the major obstacle to starting
and maintaining a lounge is that few people have the time
to sit in it on any regular basis. The Jewish Lounge is
open 5 hours a day from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday - Friday. Complicating matters further, a room such
as CC 320 must be supervised or locked at all times to
protect furniture and office supplies.
I would very much like to see olherethnicgroups follow
our example; the Academic Departments and Hie Student
Association would be thrilled to see students express pride
in Iheir cultures and in the University.
Ms. Sardegna and everyone else at SUNYA has an
open invitation to visit the Lounge. We can discuss my
thoughts about starting and maintaining a lounge or
munch out on junk food and hang-out.
Even if it were generally true that women who have
abortions are coerced into doing so, as Miss Long
believes, this would at best be an argument for reducing
the social pressures that lead women to choose abortion.
It is no argument at all for depriving women of the choice
of abortion. That is objectionably paternalistic, and implies that women are incapable of making informed
choices about abortion, a suggestion I resent.
Certainly in the first trimester, and probably well into
the second, the unborn is neither conscious nor sentient.
It does not suffer nor is it made miserable by being killed.
For whose sake, then, must a pregnant woman be forced
to carry a child she does not want? No one is morally
obligated to serve as a life-support machine for a potential person, any more than anyone is obligated to create a
person by engaging in intercourse.
Few people regard abortions as morally neutral, or just
another means of birth control. We all wish abortions
were never necessary. However, making abortion illegal
will not prevent them from occurring, although it will
make them more dangerous. Since abortions do not
violate anyone's rights, it'is morally incumbent on society
to ensure that all women have access to safe and legal
abortions.
—Bonnie Steinbock
Male misconceptions
To the Editor:
I feel compelled to respond to the letters I have read in
the ASP recently concerning pornography. It appears
that there are many men on this campus who feel
qualified to discuss pornography without acknowledging
the limits of their knowledge and perspective. I would
like to suggest to these readers and others some methods
for educating themselves about the variety of political,
social and economic issues which pornography raises:
•First, read a book called Talte Back the Night:
Women on Pornography, edited by Laura Lederer. It is
an excellent source. Included in the book is an article entitled "An Interview with a Former Pornography Model"
by Laura Lederer, which addresses the many people who
are still arguing that women who pose for pornography
do so willingly, as if that were their "chosen profession."
In this interview, a woman describes how she answered an
ad for "models" because her rent was due and she had no
money. She was recently out of high school, and had held
a number of jobs, but was fired because of ill health. She
..hows quite clearly that women who enter the pornography industry do so out of economic need: "...most
women come in under a lot of stress. They're usually
desperate...maybe they need money for some emergency
like I did, or they've gone as long as they can doing odds
and ends or working at shit jobs, and they finally just
have to pay their bills...I met lots of women who were
financially strapped...most of the women who came to
the agency were poor, or in extreme times of crisis, or
ooth." (p. 47) She goes on to describe how the modeling
agencies stop giving models "sofl core" work after a
short time, forcing them into harder and harder core
work.
—Steve Grecnbaum
Pro-choice response
To (he Editor:
A column as thoughtful and well-written as Sharon
Long's ("Confessions of an Anti-Choice Feminist,"
November 20, 1984) deserves a reply. While there is no
contradiction in being an anti-choice feminist, I think the
view is wrong.
The statement that by 7 weeks the embryo can "certainly" feel pain is almost certainly false. Brain waves do
not appear until between 8 and 10 weeks. The ability to
feel pain has been estimated as late as 24 weeks gestation
age, because (it is argued) until then the fatty myelin
sheaths which surround the nerves are not sufficiently
developed to transmit pain messages to the brain. Since
the fetus cannot tell us what it feels, the best we can do is
guess, based on our knowledge of fetal physiology. The
scientific consensus seems to be that sentience occurs well
after the embryonic stage (that is, 8 weeks), but before
quickening (at about 5 months).
Miss Long argues that our uncertainty should make us
give the unborn the benefit of the doubt. Would we not
do everything possible to avoid hitting something in the
road that might be a person? However, our obligation to
avoid possibly killing a person does not entail a similar
obligation to avoid killing a possible person. It is not clear
to me that we have any obligations at all to merely possible people, and certainly not the obligation to make large
personal sacrifices to keep them alive.
If the reason abortion is wrong is that it deprives us of
people who will contribute to society, as Miss Long suggests, then the fertile young woman who resists her
boyfriend's sexual demands is also blameworthy, for she
too deprives the world of a contributing member.
Seducers might find this argument appealing, but no one
else can take it seriously.
Another article in the same book, Diana Russell's
"Pornography and Violence: What Does the New
Research Say?" describes some studies done on the links
between pornography and violence against women. One
study involved 53 male students who were given a story to
read which depicted a man violently raping a woman at
knifepoint against her repeated protests. When asked if
they would emulate the man's behavior if they could be
assured of not getting caught, 51 Wo of these men said
they might, (p. 221) There is nothing to indicate that these
male students are any different from any other male
students.
There are many excellent articles in this anthology
which addresses a variety of issues, including pornography and the First Amendment. It is a book that
everyone should read.
•Second, the men who believe that Playboy and other
so-called "soft-core" pornographic magazines are about
love, eroticism and the beauty of die female body have
obviously never put themselves in the woman's position.
I would like to challenge everyone who holds this belief to
do just that — literally. Here's your chance to educate
yourself about the issues you've been arguing: take your
magazines home, lock yourself in your room, take off
your clothes, and assume the positions these women are
in. Make sure you extend, twist, bend and otherwise
distort your body the way those women do. Imagine
yourself being viewed by millions of people while you try
to look like you're enjoying it. You will soon find out thai
those pictures are about submission and degradation, no|
beauty or love.
If you are afraid to do this, it appears that you already
(now that that's what you'll find out. Do it anyway, and
ead the book, loo — you will certainly find both to be
nighly educative, and you'll be much better equipped to
discuss the issues connected with pornography.

History professor Warren
Roberts called the series "a grand
idea." Roberts gave a presentation about the Tiffany stained
glass windows of Albany on
November 18.
The windows were made by
Louis Tiffany, who is considered
by many to be the finest stain
glass artist in the period of
1870-1920, Roberts said, adding
that Tiffany's work can be seen in
several churches and one
synagogue in the City of Albany.
Roberts spoke from the First
Presbyterian Church where the
Sea of Galilee window, one of
Tiffany's greates achievements, is
displayed.
Roberts said, "the situations
are too seldom that members of
the university can talk to the community," adding, "It's a great
way for the faculty to bring its expertise to the public."

the game was 102-67 in favor of the Danes.
With 1:05 left to play in the game,
Carmello had two of the most pressured
free throws you'll ever see in a blowout.
Albany was one point away from totalling
100 points and Carmello was fouled by
Mark Parsons. The freshman calmly sank
his first shot to put the Danes over the century mark.
Hart, with 15 points and II rebounds,
led five of Albany's players who scored in
double figures, the others being Ursprung,
11 (seven rebounds), Gosule, 12, Kauppila, 13, and John Mracek, 10. All 13 of
Albany's players that dressed for the game
scored at least four points. According to
Sauers, that was the first time in his 30
years of coaching that he had 13 players
score in one game. Croutier played a
phenomenal floor game dishing out eight
assists in 16 minutes. Zadoorian also had
six assists with Rich Chapman hauling in
eight boards.
Croutier was named M VP of the tournament and Ursprung and Hart to the alltournament team just edging out Kauppila. The rest of the all-tournament team
was comprised of Kevin Bartlett of Union,

The next Wednesday, Albany took on
Ithaca at University Gym. Albany used
tough defense to stop center Andy Vye and
the Bombers.
For 10 minutes Ithaca stalled, scoring
only two measly foul shots as the Danes
took a 33-20 halftime lead. "Our defense
played a very good game," said Sauers.
"And our main defensive effort was
definitely on Vye."
Vye, who came into the game averaging
27 points left University Gym with only 14,
most of which came after the Danes took a
65-48 lead with only 5:50 left in the game.
Croutier and Hart led Albany to their
86-65 win. Croutier had 26 points on 13-19
shooting and Hart scored 21 on 10-13
shooting and also grabbed eight
rcboumds, Zadoorian added five assists.
The Danes' season so far has featured a
team that plays stingy defense which is
characteristic for a Sauers squad and one
which has nine or 10 players that can contribute, which is a different story from last
year.
"Defense and depth," said Sauers, "are
no doubt the keys to our success."
Hart realizes that the depth of the team
is a great motivator for him. "Thank God
for Rich (Chapman) out there; he can really rebound. It makes me play harder,
because if I don't do the job 1 know damn
well they're going to take my a— out of
there."

percent from the field...Kauppila (must be

have a team field goal shooting average of
52.3 percent and a free throw average of 76
percent.

The team's next competition will be
Saturday in Springfield, Massachusetts,
where the team will participate in the Springfield Invitational. Albany's invitation is
a compliment to the team, as it was the only one received by a Division III school.
The others, Hofstra, University of Vermont, Ithaca, Springfield and Bridgeport
are all Division I and II.
"This meet will be a true indicator of the
team's true ability," commented DuvallSpillane. "Our goal is to hold our own and
look respectable against the other teams."
Saravis had a somewhat more relaxed
goal for the team. "I just hope we can
show that if you are in good physical condition and have the proper frame of mind,
it is so easy to go out and have fun."

JV Danes lose 57-56 heartbreaker to Williams
By Michael Skolnlok
STAFF WRITER
Two different teams showed up
for Albany Saturday night as the
junior varsity squad took on
Williams College. The first team
played strong defense, showed
poise and patience on offense.
The other team played a confused
and disorganized second half
both on-offense and defense and
lost the game by a point 57-56 on
a basket scored by Dave Swindell
of Williams off a rebound of his
own missed shot with four
seconds left in the game. The loss
evened the Dane's record at 1-1 as
the they opened their season with
a 91-68 thrashing of Division I
Colgate.
LUCKEY UPS
Tony Dickens goes up for a lay-up in a scrimmage earlier in the
year. The JV team is now 1-1 after their loss to Williams.
The game began sloppily as
both teams missed shots
and
there was no score for the first
two minutes of play. Albany
played in its traditional tough
man-to-man defense which starred two big men Brett Axelrod
and Jeff Kee causing Williams to
force many shots.
"We played tough in the first
half and we showed patience on
offense," said Axelrod who led
the team with 23 points and 19
rebounds.
It was Axelrod's three-point
play that stretched the Danes'
lead to four, 24-20, with five
minutes remaining in the first
half.
For Williams, their team was
composed of Swindell and guard
Mike Harrington who were
responsible for 32 of Williams 57
points. They were contained well
in the first half which allowed
Albany to go into the lockerroom
at halftime leading 31-26.
The team stretched its halftime
lead to 41-33 with 15 minutes left
in the game on strong play by Axelrod and Tony Dickens. It was at
this point when Harrington and
Swindell .went to work and the
Danes started to lose their
composure.
"We weren't patient enough on
offense and we started to make
fundamental mistakes on defense
which hurt u s , " explained Head
Coach Jim Boland.
Axelrod added, "They made a
good adjustment switching to a
man-to-man defense which put
pressure on us and our impatience
cost us.
This is probably best explained
by the fact that most of the
players are freshman and have to
make the adjustment from high
school to college basketball.
With eight minutes remaining
Albany's lead was cut to two and
the Danes would score only four
more baskets the rest of the way.
It was 52-48 with 5:54 remaining
and then Harrington hit two consecutive shots from the perimeter
to lie the game at 52 with 4:44
left. The Danes seemingly wrapped up their second win as Axelrod scored four points to pill
Albany up by four, 56-52 with
2:40 remaining in the game.
On the next sequence, Harrington made one out of two free
throws and stole the ball as
Williams cut Albany's lead to
5 6 - 5 5 w i t h 1:10 s e c o n d s
remaining.
Albany had a chance to put the
game on ice as freshman John
Carmello, who also suited up for
the varsity game, went to the line
for a one-and-one but he failed to
convert the free throw and that
gave Williams a chance to take
their first lead since early in the
first half.
They did so as Swindell followed his miss with a 15-footer that
was on target.
Albany then had one last
chance to come away with the
win. After Swindell's shot they
got the ball to midcourt and called time out with two seconds left.
Boland took that time to set up a
play that had Dickens coming off
of a back pick and Carmello inbounding the ball to him. The
play worked as Dickens received
the pass but his short shot went
in-and -out, which sealed the
Danes' fate for the evening
After the game Boland remarked that they didn't put enough
pressure defensively on their two
leading scorers. Additionally, he
noted that Williams benefitted
from being in the one-and-one
situation with ten minutes left in
the game while Albany didn't go
to Ihe one-and onc-until the final
two minutes.
"This was obviously a game we
should have won, but we let it slip
through our hands. We need to
correct some obvious flaws on
defense and gel better shots on
offense."
The Danes play their next game
at University Gym tomorrow
against Cortland wondering
which team will show up.

bane gymnasts topple Hunter in season debut
By Cathy Errlg
STAFF WRITER
Throughout the semester, a certain
group of women students have been
boasting of their unique capabilities. For
example, a recent ASP personal read
Albany State Gymnasts; we do it with our
toes pointed.
This weekend they finally went public
with their true abilities as they opened their
1984-85 season with a 147.9-135.1 victory
over Hunter College at University Gym,
outscoring the visitors in all four gymnastic events.
Pat Duvall-Spillane, presently in her
eighth season as head gymnastics coach at
Albany, was well satisfied with the team's
performance.
Said Duvall-Spillane, "My goal was for
the team to score over 140 and we achieved
that. For a first meet, we did very well."
Saturday's meet was, as are many first
seasonal meets, not without its difficulties.
The first setback occurred prior to the
meet's beginning, when one of the officials
failed to show up, (in gymnastics, at least
two judges are required to score each gymnast, the official score being the average of
the two marks). During the long 45 minute
delay, the spectators were treated to a unique spectacle: the two opposing teams, led
by Albany's captain Lynn Saravls, stretched In unison to maintain their warmed-up
condition.
After contacting the missing official,
who claimed to have never received the
contracts, the meet finally began with
Albany immediately taking the lead with
an excellent vault by sophomore Carol
Hart, a handspring thai earned her an 8.2
out of a possible 8.8.
Albany won the event by the score of
41.0-39.8. Individually, lop honors went
to Albany's Sue Leskowit/. and Hunter's
Stephanie Smith, both scoring 8.5's.
I-cskowitz, in achieving this score, set a
new University record.
The next rotation was to the uneven
parallel bars, where Hunter's Debbie
Oiangrasso executed a remarkably smooth
routine to win the event with an 8.1 score.
Albany's depth in the event, however,
which enabled the team to take the next six
places gave the team Ihe edge, as they
oulscored Hunter 35.6-29.2.
It was during the ten-minute intermission warm-up period that a major set-back
occurcd for Albany. Junior Karen Bailey,
while practicing a difficult tumbling run,
suffered a bad landing which resulted in
two sprained ankles. According to spotter
Brian LaDuke, whose experience in gymnastics includes seven years at the Northeast Institute of Gymnastics,
"If we had had the springed floor we requested at the end of last season, her injury would not have been as bad. At Northeast we have such a floor and it has
definitely cut down on injuries of that
nature."
Although obviously upset by Bailey's injury, the team maintained their concentration to increase their lead to 110.9-102.0 by
winning the balance beam competition.
Hunter's Jaime Schnitzer and Albany's
Brenda Armstrong won the event, both
scoring 7.3's.
The last rotation was to the floor exercise where Albany put the finishing
touches on its victory, outscoring Hunter
37.0-33.1.
Here, it was Albany freshman Michelc
Husak's turn to shine as she seemingly executed with ease a difficult routine
highlighted by an opening doublc-somi
tumbling run that earned her an 8.1. Armstrong, consistent throughout the entire
meet was so here again, scoring a 7.7 to
take second, and Saravls, performing to
"Hooked on Swing," roused the most enthusiastic croud response, placing third
with a 7.4.
The team was extremely pleased with
their first performance.
"It was good for a first meet,"
acknowledged LaDuke. "We could still
use a lot of improvement, however,
especially on bars and beam. The team is
going to have to do more full routines
everyday."
Saravis was especially pleased with the
team's response to Bailey's injury.
"The team kept itself together despite
the crisis and maintained a confident attitude; it really didn't affect us too much.
That's important In this sport because you
never know when changes will happen."
As for the seasonal outlook, DuvallSpillane forsees a promising picture.
"I feel this team is up to par with last
year's learn,(which set a University team
record with 156.25 points). There's a lot of
depth on this team and quite a few potential all-arounders. The range of scores was
very close today, which is a good indicator
of the team's depth."
The validity of this statement lies within
the fact that the '84-'85 Albany Gymnastics team is, for the most part, a
stronger, more experienced version of last
year's team. Having lost only two
members to graduation. The team added
five new gymnasts and will be further aided by three members who were unable to
compete throughout most of last season
due to injuries.
Returning this year for their fourth
seasons at Albany are Seniors Lynn
Saravis, Jennifer Cleary, and Anne
Thamasett. Saravis was awarded the team
Most Improved Player last year and was
voted team captain, a position she feels
allows her to become more involved with
the team as a whole. In demonstration of
this, "Vicious", as her teammates call her
put the team through an intensive sixweek, pre-season conditioning regimen
which resulted in the team's extreme
cohesivencss.
Cleary, a senior from Hicksville, has
been for the past three years one of the
team's most consistent beam competitors.
Thamasett, a senior from Vestal, is a
strong all-around gymnast whose ability is
highlighted by her difficult bar routine.
Juniors Karen Bailey, Karen Thamasett,
and Brenda Armstrong, all In their third
seasons, will all be strong all-around
competitors.
Armstrong and Bailey both had outstanding seasons last year which resulted in
their qualifying for the NCAA Division II
Regionals, In addition, Armstrong was
a w a r d e d t h e team M V P a w a r d .
Thamasett, from Vestal, is especially
strong on the vault and uneven parallel
bars.
Returning Sophomores include Nora
Bellantoni, Carol Bart, Karrie Brooking,
Lisa Albanese, Karen Davis and Terrj
Sokol. Bellatoni, Bart and Sokol established themselves last year as definite team
assets; Bellantoni adding depth on bars
and floor exercise, Sokol, an excellent
vaulter who also competes on bars and
beam, and Bart on the vault, beam and
bars.
Sophomores Brooking, Albanese and
Davis were all injured throughout most of
last season, Brooking and Davis with
elbow fractures and Albanese with a
separated shoulder. Brooking's specialty is
the balance beam while Albanese hopes to
compete on bars. Davis is an all-around
gymnast whose strongest events are the
beam and floor exercises.
New to the team this season are
sophomores Leslie Steckel, and Sue
Leskowitz, and freshman Karen Vlasaty,
Jennifer Seskin and Michelle Husak.
Steckel, from Brewster, is most consistent on bars and possesses, according to
21K
Karen Bailey sprained both her ankles
practicing her landing on a tumbling run.

Cindy Jensen guards an Onoonta player during Ihe Danes' two-point victory. The
women are now a heallhy 3-1.
After four games, two of which were
against SUNYAC rivals Onconta and Cortland, the Albany Slate women's basketball team can hold their heads high, as they
held their own, emerging with a 3-1 overall
record.
Starting off the season at R.P.I., the
Dane women defeated R.P.I., 80-59.
"It was a good first game," said Albany
Head Coach Mari Warner. "Everyone
played and got those first game jitters out
of the way."
The scoring on the team was wellrounded with high scores coming from
Kim Kosalekf 20 points),Rainny Lesane(l7
points), and Lori Bayba (14 points). Additionally, Kosalek dominated the boards
for Albany with 11 rebounds.
The Albany-Oneonla game last Tuesday
was a classic, with Albany edging past
Oneonta in the final six seconds to win by
two. Oneonta, who was in last year's
SUNYAC finals, was expected to be tough
competition.
The game seesawed back and forth until
the final quarter when the excitement really mounted. The Danes, down by five
points with five minutes to go in the game,
made a comeback and were up by four
with 55 seconds remaining on the clock.
Oneonta's comeback, to tie it with six
seconds, was followed by Lcsane's winning basket.
"It was a thriller, said Coach Warner."
The game was close all the way through, a
really physical emotional game."
High scorer was Bayba with 16 points,
followed by Lesane with 14 and Jill Silverman with 12. Bayba also contributed eight
rebounds.
After such an exciting game, the women
suffered their first loss last Thursday
against Cortland, another expected tough
one. Cortland won, 56-42. Lesane scored
17 points while Kosalek added 10 points.
Bayba, injured with a bruised foot, sat out
the game.
"We were murdered on the boards and
were playing really flat and slow," said
Warner.
On Saturday, at Binghamton, the Danes
were back to playing their game, defeating
Binghamton, 68-56. Top scorer was
Lesane with 25 points, most of which were
from break away layups off of steals.
Kosalek and Ronnie Patterson both had
seven points followed by a lot of one-point
contributions.
"I'm pleased we are running fairly
well," said Warner. "Against Binghamton
we were bringing the ball down the court
quickly and breaking. Against Cortland
they broke on us and 1 think of us as a fairly quick team, Rebounding is going to be a
continual problem. Overall we are where I
though we'd b e . "
The women Danes will host St. Rose
tonight at 7 p.m."Si. Rose is a smaller
team so we should control the boards, bui
they are also a quick team," said Warner.

Foul shooting was the most important factor in the
Albany State Great Danes' 75-60 win over the Stony
Brook Patriots last Saturday night at University Gym.
In the first half it was foul shots that kept the Patriots
close. While they only managed to hit eight of their 30
field goal attempts, the Patriots made all nine of their free
throws.
On the other side of the court it was a totally different
story. The Danes did not get a single chance at the charity
stripe while they shot 15-29. Albany was led in the field
goal shooting department in the first half by Brian Kauppila (4-5), Dave Adam (5-7) and Greg Hart (3-4).
But the second half was a different story. When Stony
Brook fell behind by six with 3:26 left in the game and
resorted to fouling Albany. But 'unfortunately for the
Patriots, the Danes made the most of these opportunities
and canned 16 out of 18 foul shots in a 3:12 span of the
second half that ran until there were only 14 ticks left on
the clock.
Leading the way for Albany was point guard Dan
Croutier who hit all of his eight foul shots. He was having
a rough evening hitting only two out of seven field goals.
But as usual, when the game comes down to the wire and
Croutier gets fouled, you might as well put the two points
in the books.
"I didn't want to jinx him," said Albany Head Coach
Dick Sauers. "But every time Danny has a big night (he
had 26 points on 13-19 shooting against Ithaca the
previous Wednesday), the next game he comes back and
he can't throw the ball in the Atlantic Ocean.
"But he hit his foul shots at the end when it counted,
which is par for the course."
Kauppila also hit six foul shots down the stretch to help
secure the victory. Kauppila has hit all 13 of his foul shots
so far this season, as well as 64 percent of his field goals.
At the outset of the second half, Albany built up an
11-point lead behind strong play by Hart and Kauppila.
With 14 minutes left, the Patriots made a strong com-
eback cutting the Danes' lead to four, 50-46 with 4:45 to
go in the game. But the Patriots would get no closer, as
Albany converted their free throws.
The win over Stony Brook was Albany's fourth on the
season without a loss. Albany has virtually the same cast
of players as they had last year, so the Danes are able to
go nine deep as opposed to the six or seven that they could
last year.
"My second team is very nearly as good as my first
team," said Sauers after the team's second game.
But, with recent injuries, Sauers has had to shift the
line up around a little bit. So far this season, he has lost
his starting small forward, starting shooting guard, and
his first guard off the bench. That is where the depth of
the team has come in so handily.
When Dave Adam was slowed down with one of his
three injuries: an ankle sprain or a sore back, Sauers
could put in Doug Kilmer or Kauppila to fill in. That was
not a luxury that Sauers had last year.
Then before Sauers could finish saying, "This is the
first time I have had my whole team healthy in two and
one half weeks," as he did after beating York College in
the second game, he found out that last year's leading rebounder, Adam Ursprung, would be out indefinitely.
Ursprung was playing with a deep bruise in his thigh,
which caused the condition to worsen. Ursprung has not
dressed for either of the last two games as further tests
showed that he has a calcium deposit on the thigh. But
Kauppila and senior Jan Zadoorian have picked up the
slack by filling in at that position.
Then when Kilmer was sidelined for the Stony Brook
game due to a sinus condition that is giving him migraine
headaches, Sauers decided to have freshman John
Carmello suit up for both the junior varsity and varsity
games in case he was needed.
But even with all those problems, the Danes have gotten off to a great start.

tacular. It started two weeks ago with the
capturing of the Great Dane Classic. Then
came two straight dual-meet massacres —
a 34-18 blowout over Potsdam and a 47-8
destruction of R.P.I.
But the best was saved for this past
weekend at the 16-team Coast Guard Invitational held in New Loundenberry,
Connecticut. The Danes even outdid their
own expectations by taking second place in
a tournament which featured eight Division I schools and four Division II teams.
"I knew we had a good team going into
the tournament, but I didn't know how
good," said Coach DeMeo. "This was a
real test and we came through."
Springfield College, a top-ranked Division II school, was the only team to top the
Danes. Albany nipped Division I Columbia for second place by three-quarters of a
point. The Danes finished well ahead of
the rest of the pack.
USA Olympic team-member Andy Seras
was named "Outstanding Wrestler" for
the second straight tournament. Coming
off his first-rate performance in the Dane
Classic, Seras pinned Columbia's Rich
White 1:45 into the 158-pound final
match, giving him not only the title, but
the Danes a second place finish.
"I told Andy before that match that we
needed a pin to finish ahead of Columbia," said DeMeo. "And that's what he
did."
In all, six out of the 10 Dane grapplers
placed. Last year's NCAA champion Dave
Averill took the 126-pound title as did
another USA Olympic team-member,
Shawn Sheldon, who captured the
118-pound class.
Sophomore Marty Pidell wrestled solidly, claiming second place, losing in the
finals to Southern Connecticut's Ed
Myers.
"Marty's coming along faster than we
t h o u g h t , " praised DeMeo of the
Brockport transfer.
142-pound Jim Fox nailed fourth place
as did the ever-improving Ivan "The Terrible" Katz in the heavyweight division.
Katz's outstanding efforts so far this
season have his coach bubbling with
complements.
"His turnaround from last year is
unbelievable," said DeMeo. "Last year he
wrestled not as well as we expected. Over
the summer he did some thinking and
came to conclusions about himself. And
he's just gone out right after his opponents
so aggressively. He's wrestling, almost
beating guys that destroyed him last year."
Averill's first place effort might not
have surprised D e M e o , but the
126-poundcr had to work hard for the
title.
Averill was matched in the finals against
Springfield's John Dunn, an opponent the
defending NCAA champion barely nipped
3-2 in an earlier round bout. In the finals
Averill soared to a 7-0 win.
"I was a little worried," said Averill.
"That early match was really tough. But in
the finals, I got ahead early and I knew I
had him."
Sheldon had an easier time of it. Never
tested throughout the two-day affair, the
Ail-American sophomore cruised to a 9-1
final victory over Columbia's Bob
Gladreaux.
TAKEDOWNS:!The Danes have the rest
of the week off due to the cancellation of
Thursday's Boston University match.
They will be back in action this Saturday in
a tri-mcet against Hartford, Brown, and
Boston College at Hartford.

This past week, the Student Action Committee's
campaign to defeat the 21-year-old drinking age
proposal saw the successful completion of a letter
writing campaign which was instituted on
SUNYA's four uptown quads as a way of making
legislators aware of students' views on the proposal,
which will be under consideration next year.
"I've never seen anything like it," said Steve
Gawley, chair of Central Council's Student Action
Committee, expressing his enthusiasm over the
results of the letter writing campaign thus far.
Student Action has obtained nearly 1,100 letters
from just the four uptown quads, with an Alumni
Quad and Campus Center campaign still planned.
"Students are intelligently protesting the
21-drinking age law with a strong case," Gawley
said.
Results on State Quad were especially positive,
said Gawley, where a total of 500 letters were written, up from 350 in last year's drive. "Of the 900

them wrote letters," said Gawley, adding, "I think
that Student Activism is on the edge of a whole new
trend for SUNY at Albany." He pointed out that
not only did the letter writing campaign serve to
educate students about a vital issue, but it helped
raise interest and concern for future actions.
Jim Doellefeld, Director of Campus Life, will be
accepting the position as chair of what he calls the
"Impact of 21" committee, charged by Frank
Pogue, vice president for Student Affairs, with
compiling a list of possible alcohol policy changes
in the event of a 21-year-old drinking age.
"I think there are some clear signs," said
Doellefeld, that legislators will act on the proposal.
"I think the pressure is really on the State
legislature," he stated, noting that Governor Mario
Cuomo is strongly pushing for a hike and that New
York will lose federal highway funds if the 21 proposal is not implemented.
Gawley said that a 21-year-old drinking age
would have several implications on campus life.
"This is not the solution becaue it will just mean
that students will drink in more dangerous situations," instead of drinking on campus, Gawley

College student growing target
By Judy Torel
BUSINESS MANAGER
The traditionally volatile college
newspaper advertising market which has
deterred national advertisers in the past is
currently experiencing a period of growth,
according to officials at leading college ad
agencies.
The three major ad agencies, CASS,
American Passage, and College Media Service, representing the 3,000 college
newspapers across the nation, offer several
conflicting reasons for this transition.
Mark Rose, Director of Marketing for
CASS, the agency representing the largest
percentage of advertisers to the college
newspaper media, says he sees the college
market place as expanding.
In the past, said Rose, college markets
have consisted of ads for beer, military
recruitment, calculators, and entertainment products and services. These ads,
Rose explained, were based on advertisers'
common knowledge that the college
market is receptive to those particular
products.
Now, Rose said, large corporations such
as AT & T, MCI, and Proctor and Gamble, who previously directed their advertising towards 30 year olds and heads of
households, are targeting their ads at college students.
Rose attributed the advertisers' new
strategy to research that found students to

said. The 19 year old drinking age and the
increased national enforcement of drunk
driving laws is the probable cause of the
decrease in ads for alcoholic products,
Bryant explained.
Larry Smuckler, Vice President of National Sales and Marketing for College
Media Placement Service, agrees that college students represent an increasing
market.
However, he said, he feels that color
magazines, such as Ampersand
or
Newsweek on Campus, inserted into college newspapers, serve as advertising incentives to large corporations like car
manufacturers, that might not advertise in
a black and white newspaper. Publishers
of these magazines pay college newspapers
for the right to insert them in the
newspaper.
Smuckler asserted that the different image of college students is another reason
for the increase in corporate advertising.
"As part of the 'me' generation, students
are concerned with getting out of school
and getting a job, instead of changing the
world," Smuckler said.
Rose did not agree, claiming "the college image is still the same as it was in the
60's and 70's. The sales representative
must convince the buyer that the real college student is the one research has uncovered,"
