Steve Gawley, Student Action Committee chair, cited student activist
techniques as an influential factor.
"There were some real solid activist
techniques employed — even the threat
of student activism helped us reach our

Gawley added that a possible protest
aimed at the bookstore "was a major
factor in prompting the bookstore into
complying with our demands."
Dina Roman, assistant manager of
the bookstore, said that she thinks the
changes are very reasonable. "We will
do anything that we can to make it better for the students," Roman said, adding, "it was good that students did the

Ten attend hearing on 'impact of 21'
By Michelle Busher
CDITOR1M. ASSISTANT J.„; .
The Impact of 21 Committee, a group of
students; faculty and administrators
chosen by Vice President of Student Affairs Frank Pogue to investigate the fate of
the campus alcohol policy if the drinking
age goes up, opened the floor to a meager
crowd of ten Thursday hr ttte"Cmp*JP
Center Assembly Hall at a public hearing
of possible policy proposals.
Jim Doellefeld, Director of Campus
Life and chair of the committee, said the
public hearing was held "in order to get input from the community on what to do if
the drinking age is raised to 21." Anyone
with an interest in the campus community
was invited to make a statement.
Student Action chair Steve Gawley
dominated the public podium with his
comments on what he called "students'
rights to privacy in the dorms." ...
The main question, said Gawley, is "are
we in a landlord situation or a parent-child
relationship?"
Ross Abelow, a delegate to the Student
Association of the State University
(SASU), said he is "strongly opposed to a
'dry campus* in which alcohol is not allowed in dorm rooms or on campus at all."
"Students live here (in the dorms); they
pay rent here," said Gawley. "People
should not be allowed to barge into their
homes."
If the drinking age is raised to 21, "the
residence staff doesn't have to turn into a
police force," said Gawley. "I don't think
it's right practically or morally to put them
in that situation."
"If we make it a dry campus and it's
heavily enforced we will have the problem
of students going off campus and driving
back drunk," said Abelow. "If we allow
alcohol in suites and rooms we may curtail
that problem."
'Abelow said he doesn't think there is a
problem with student drinking on campus
now. Problems that arise with the present
policy "may be due to a lack of communication between administrators and
students seeing eye to eye on the rules," he
said.' •'.
"Students understand the rules, but
most are opposed to them," said Abelow.
"They want to be able to let their parties
spill out into the lounges if they have to."
Most people present at the meeting
agreed that people have to go somewhere
or do something as a social outlet.
JOHN CURRY UPS
Members ol the Impact ol 21 comlttee
Of 5,000 on-campus students, 2,150 are over 21
Norbert Zahm, General Manager of
University Auxiliary Services (UAS) and a
committee member, said he hopes to maintain the Rat if the drinking age is raised to
21.
"Business has gone down 32 to 33 percent since the drinking age was raised to
19," said Zahm. "Right now we get about
five percent of the drinking campus
population. If the drinking age goes up to
21 we will have to draw a greater percentage of the drinking population."
John Murphy, Assistant Director of
Residential Life and a committee member,
said that of the over 5,000 students
presently living on campus, approximately
2,150 students are 21 or over. This makes
the ratio of students under 21 to those 21
or over about three and a half to two, an
apparently surprising statistic to most in
attendance.
A big question at the hearing was
whether students would attend nonalcoholic events. Patty Saikin, SA Director
of Student Programming and a committee
member said, "I think fraternities are
answering that question. The fraternities
that were just getting started were made up
primarily of freshmen and sophomores
who were 18 and couldn't drink. They
were looking for something else to do and
tended to organize their events around
University projects," said Saikin.
Abelow said he thinks part of the reason
fraternities have been able to attract
students to non-alcoholic social events
easier than events thrown by the quads is
"students don't associate themselves
socially with their quads like they do with
the smaller fraternity groups."
Gawley also emphasized the promotion
of fraternities and said he hasn't "seen any
fraternities oriented towards beer blasting
or drinking contests. I think Animal
House set them back," said Gawley.
"The committee really won't be making
any final decision about policy," said
Doellefeld, "but we may make some
recommendations to Frank Pogue."
. Doellefeld said the hearing was Held early because "it could have its greatest impact now." Depending on when any possible legislation is passed,' 'we could be faced with the (policy) decision while school is
not in session. However, the committee is
remaining open minded with respect to a
second hearing," said Doellefeld.
"Should this legislation be stalled,
which I think it will be," said Gawley,
"you're looking at not having to deal with
this decision until at least spring semester
.1986."

All you ever wanted to know about sex

STAFF WRITER
University students and professionals
experiencing difficulties with issues
relating to sexuality will be able to hear experts address their concerns during Middle
Earth's series of workshops and lectures
collectively titled "Sexuality Week"
February 11, 12, and 13.
This will mark the third consecutive year
that Middle Earth,'an on campus counseling and crisis center, has sponsored Sexuality Week, according to Dr. David
Jenkins, Director of Middle Earth andAssociative Director of Residential Life.
The three day series begins on the 11th
with a speech titled "Homophobia: A Personal Perspective" to be given by David
Rotlicn* irg In the Campus Center
Assembly Hal! at 7:30 p.m. An activist in
the gay and lesbian community,
Rothenberg was the New York City Commissioner of Human Rights for seven
years.
SUNYA's Gay and Lesbian Alliance
(GALA) and Student Association (SA) are
co-sponsoring Rothenberg's lecture.
Jenkins noted that there is "plenty otit
(homophobia) here at SUNYA," and that
"one thing shown through research is that
you can reduce homophobia (fear of
homosexuals) through eduxatlon."
Six workshops on tcpics ranging from
health care to flirting will be held on

Campus Center. The day's activities will
end with a speech on the "Evolution of
Love" (b be delivered by Dr. Helen Fisher,
professor of Anthropology at New York
University and author of the bdok The Sex
Contract.
i Dr. Fisher's speech will take place in the
'Campus Center Ballroom at 8:00 p.m.
i Sexuality Week concludes on the 13th
with workshops in the Campus Center on
topics such as human sexuality from
religious perspectives and AIDS.
Tom Rose, Middle Earth's Outreach
Coordinator, said that Sexuality Week will
give people "an opportunity to explore
issues such as relationships, health care,
and homophobia." Jenkins added that
Middle Earth's 24-hour hotline "recicves

questions, or uncertainties regarding issues
surrounding aspects of relationships and
sexuality issues. We know there is a large
amount of concern" on the issues within
the SUNYA community.
Jenkins said that a committee of
students comprised primarily of Middle
Earth staff worked in conjunction with
Val Fahey, the group's Administrative
Coordinator, in choosing workshop .
themes and speakers for the event. "Decisions were based on our perceived reading
of what some of the current issues are."
• Rose added that there was a "fair •
balance of perspectives" within the committee, leading it to choose subject matter
with "a broad appeal."
One of the only things changed about
this year's Sexuality Week, according'to
Jenkins, was the scheduling of workshops. \
"In the past too many programs overlapped, this led to difficult choices" having to !
be made by participants. If two workshops
overlap this year, Jenkins said that their
respective subject matters would be of different natures so as to "diminish the need '
to make d e c i s i o n s b e t w e e n two
programs."
Although Jenkins said he knows Sexuality Week will be successful, he "regrets
that SA has sponsored a speaker on the
Ethiopian crisis at the same time as David
Rothenberg. It's regrettable that two
things of significant importance have ended up in conflict" considering th'.it both
are being sponsored by SA."

Reagan pushes
budget plans,
military, in his
Union address
Washington, D.C.
(AP) Calling for a federal spending
freeze and the elimination of the threat
of nuclear war, President Reagan
sought the support of the American
voters and Congress in his State of the
Union Address Wednesday night.
Using 'opportunity for all Americans'
as the theme for his message, Reagan explained that "pushing down tax rates
has freed our economy to vault forward
to record growth." i
To move toward a balanced budget
"we must. . .lighten pur government's
claim on our total economy. We will not
do this by raising taxes," said Reagan.
Reagan's plan for the fiscal year 1986
budget is an overall government program spending freeze at the current
level. "It must not be one dime higher
than fiscal year 1985," said Reagan.
The three key points of Reagan's plan
include the "slowing" of Medicare and
Medicaid, while "the social safety net
for the elderly, needy, disabled, and
unemployed will be left intact," he said.
Secondly, Reagan asserted that planned defense expenditures have been
reduced by nearly $100 billion over the
past four years and projected spending
has been reduced this year. "We must
not relax our efforts to restore military
strength just as we near our goal of a
fully equipped, trained and ready professional corps," he said.
I Government subsidies must be reduced or eliminated, according to Reagan.
'As an example Reagan explained that
'"deregulation of the airline industry has
'led to cheaper airfares, but on Amtrak
taxpayers pay about $35 per passenger
every time an Amtrak train leaves the
'station."
Federal subsidies to farmers must not

Reagan called for the support of the
American people in the-launching of a

According to Reagan, his administration has been committed since 1981 to

Investor's Club seeking
easy money, experience
By Rosalyn L. Lee
Want to make a fortune? Apparently a lot of people do, which
may be the reason behind the popularity of SUNYA's new Investor's Club.
"An interest in this type of club must have been building for a
long time," said the Investor's Club co-founder and co-president
Bruce Sherman. According to Sherman, the semester-old club's
first meeting attracted over 150 people. One hundred liked what
they heard and stayed on as members, he added.
"Only about half of our members are actually business majors,"
said Sherman, and not all those interested are students. "A
SUNYA physics professor showed up at our first meeting," he
stated.
Said Sherman, he and the club's other co-president, Steve Weinbaum, were faced with the problem of educating most of the
members about the stock market. "We created 'The Investor's
Game' to give members a better understanding of how the stock
market operates and have a good time learning. It's a sort of
'Monetary Pursuit'," explained Sherman.
Weinbaum and Sherman initiated the game at the club's second
meeting. "Each member received $25,000, in theory. They were
allowed to invest the money in one to five companies, which are actually part of the New York Stock Exchange. They were allowed to
buy and sell stock freely. The investor who gained the biggest profit, Neal Wilson, a student, received a $100 U.S. Treasury Bond,"
stated Sherman.
Sherman is quick to point out that the Investor's Club "does
more than just play games". "We have also put together an Investors Club Mutual Fund, which allows members to invest real
dollars in the real stock market. Last semester we collected over
$1000 from club members, with individual investments lying between $5 and $150.
The fund's guidelines permit members to buy shares in a commonly owned portfolio, "voted on by all club members". According to Sherman, "the club invested in U.S. Homes, a house constructing firm. For $6 a share, we bought 100 shares. As of January
29th, the stock rose to 8 and 3/8 a share, up 2 and 1/4. "At the end
of the semester, the stock was diluted and distributed back to investors," he said.
The leaders of the club have some new things in store for this

Comedy may be best remedy for ailing Dutchess
By Laurie Lewis
In an attempt to build the popularity of the Dutchess, SUNYA's Friday night version of the
Patroon Room, University Auxiliary Services and
Student Association presented "Comedy Night"
featuring top New York City comedians Thursday
night.
E. Norbert Zahm, UAS general manager, said
that comedy night Is "an attempt,to have students
become more aware of the Dutchess." He said that
the Dutchess was "pretty successful In the 83-84
term," but now business has slowed down.
Performing in Thursday's show were comedians
Jeff Justice, Stu Trivax and Gary DeLena. All have
appeared in New York City nightclubs such as
Dangerfields, Catch a Rising Star and the Comic
Strip.
Two shows were offered, one at 7 p.m. and one
at 9 p.m., with over 70 people attending the second
show.
The comedians commented that the Dutchess has
"great night club appeal" and that a comedy show
Is a "great idea." Justice said he liked the onion
rings. "I would drive back just for the rings," he
said.
Zahm said that a survey was made last semester
as to where SUNYA students go, how much money
they spend, and what time they leave campus. The
Dutchess concept was contrived from this idea, said
Zahm.
The Dutchess, which is open Friday nights for
dinner from J to 8:30 p.m., offers a selection of
what UAS calls "fun food." Zahm said, "meals
average $5.00," adding, "the most popular dishes
seem to be London Broil sandwiches, Chicken
Wings and Mozzcrella sticks."
Patty Salkin, SA Programming Director said,
"as program director, I'm always looking for
something to get away from alcoholic programs for
students." The comedy night "offers students
something that they can't get off campus," asserted
Salkin.
Les Hynes, UAS manager of Campus Center
operations said, "tonight was something different." He said that UAS is trying to plan more
events for students on campus, but students have to
come to the events.
Future plans for the Dutchess include another
comedy night in mid-March.
Larry Hartman, a Central Council Representative said, "this Is probably the best thing you can
get on campus for $3, The comedy shows in the city
cost $10 to $20."
"It was really funny," stated Jackie Bernstein,
presldentof theClassof 87. "It was enjoyable. You
could eat and drink in a relaxed atmosphere. It was
a nice alternative to off-campus doings."
Sophomore Paul Barnes said, "It's a great Idea
other than going out and getting drunk,"
Ross Abclow, who serves on the UAS Board of
Directors said, "it was a wonderful show — a new
option for students."
Comedian Stu Trivax
"It's a good Idea," said junior Shari Bardash.
"But It should be better publicized."

The birth of African-American

Carter G. Woodson who initiated

History Week has been extended
to African-American History
Month with the full intention of
educating all races about the
history of black people.
The importance of an individual or an entire race to know
its history extends beyond many
other concerns. In the same
respect, the needs for blacks and
whites to understand and '• articulate black history is crucial
and mandated. In knowing black
history, the many myths concerning blacks can be dispelled. It is
almost Impossible to distinguish
fact from fiction without knowing what the-facts are. Just how
do we learn facts? We learn the
truth by researching history to its
extreme without being content or
pacified by what we find in
universities' bookstores.
Many believe that black history
started with slavery. Why?
Perhaps these individuals were
recipients of this knowledge from
teachers whose awareness of
black history is limited. Indeed,
history was being formulated long
before the slavery era was
initiated.
Moreover, history is a measurement of race's progression.
Through black history, we can
trace and sight the progression of
black people in various facets of
their lives. This measuring of promotion is essential for racial
growth and prosperity, and saves
us from a high probability of
demoting our race. While looking
down their historical road, blacks
are becoming inspired and

THE QUALITY COES IN BEFORE THE NAME GOES ON
EDITORIAL
The Reagan
'Dynasty'
What could be more fitting than sitting
doyvn to watch an episode of Dynasty
after Reagan's State of the Union
Address?
After all, don't they both present the
same distorted view of reality? Aren't
both Reagan and Dynasty selling us an
elusive dream; a mirage in which everyone
happens to be rich, successful, happy,
(and almost always white?)
There's no doubt we're huying it.
Reagan proved that in November, and
ABC proved it Wednesday night when
they decided to show Dynasty instead of
the Democratic party's response to
Reagan's address, because they wanted to
ensure good ratings during the February
sweeps period.
It seems we're more comfortable with
shows (and presidents) that gloss over the
truth. As we sit in front of our TVs,
mesmerized by the glamorous cardboard
characters on Dynasty, who are living the
American dream that Reagan has promised all of us, the reality of our own lives
can easily become confused with the intrigue unfolding on the screen until suddenly it all seems possible; even the commercials offer us new hope that we may
finally obtain that elusive dream.
But beyond the magic world of television where a dynasty is living an exciting
glamorous life, and Reagan's reassuring
voice promises us that he's 'bringing
America back', looms the reality of the
state of our union; a reality in which college students may lose guaranteed student
loans, in which our nation has suffered
numerous civil rights setbacks, and in
which our president has set general
priorities that hurt just about everyone except the upper class, the very people we're
watching on Dynasty.
In his state of the Union address,
Reagan stressed the need for "freedom"
but advocated such infringements on
human rights as anti-abortion laws and
prayer in the classroom. Many of us
though, are too taken with his rhetoric
and image to notice the inconsistencies
and lack of substance to what he says. We
don't want to examine the truth of
Reagan's assessment of the state of our
union any more than we want to question
the reality behind Dynasty.
Reagan concluded his address by singling out two national heroes, a Vietnamese
woman who will graduate from West
Point this spring, and a black woman who
works with the poor in Harlem. While
their accomplishments may be examples
of outstanding achievements, they too, are
only superficial images created by the
media. In reality, the people in our ghettos
are living in intolerable poverty, and many
of our Vietnamese citizens came here to
escape a mess we helped create in their
homeland.
There's nothing wrong with escaping
from reality once in a while, but with the
escalation of nuclear arms deployment,
continuing tension in the mid-east, and increasing destruction of our environment,
we can hardly afford to be permanently
entranced by our television or our
president.

Choices of principled men
Six months from now, Andrew Mager will be released
from prison.
A free man.
But what sets Mager apart from other ex-convicts is a
vague notion called principle. Everyone is principled in
some manner or form, but not to the extent the 23-yearold Mager is.
;
I
Dean Chang
On Monday, Mager became the first New York State
resident to be tried and convicted for refusing to register
for the draft. Don't shed any tears for him; principled
men like Mager would want it that way.
Somewhere in New York, there awaits a cold, barren
prison cell for Mager. There'll be no more bright lights;
only the filtered rays of the sun will pervade Mager's new
home. The publicity and the attention that were focused
on a district court in Syracuse are things that principled
men like Mager thrive on; in his new home, Mager will
find that his neighbors won't be waiting on line to get his
autograph. Not by a longshot. But Mager knew what he
was getting himself into, for you see, Andrew Mager is a
principled man.
No one likes wars; there's too many senseless killings
involved for any human being to stomach. Mager is one
of those principled men that believe that signing up for
the draft means that you're condoning war. The purpose
of a draft is to replenish our depleted military'forces and
have them prepared to defend our best interests, if need
be. This raises two questions: why should we have a draft
and shouldn't we have a choice?
We have had a choice for more than a decade, and our
military personnel has suffered from it. Not nearly
enough qualified candidates join the armed forces, causing us to fall shamefully behind many countries in that
department. Hence, the need for a draft arises. Here's
where principled men like Mager start yelling.
It's so easy for Mager to lean back in his chair, prop his
feet up and espouse the values of peace. He's known
nothing but security in his Long Island home, finding
sanctity in a bubble. To Mager, democracy is just another
vague concept that insures his many freedoms. But for
those who live without this particular concept, talk
becomes cheap.
It's not so easy for people in Central America or the
Middle East; for them, war is a way of life. If they could
kill just one person from the other side, it would mean
one less standing in the way of progress. These people are
threatened every day of their lives. They know the value
what they're fighting for, and they would die to have the
opportunity Mager turned down.
Hey, but so what. Mager had a choice between registering for the draft or going to jail. He chose the latter, and
he is free to do so. Our government erisures that freedom
of choice. Not everyone in the world is afforded that
choice, or any choice, for that matter. But we don't know
what that's like. Principled men like Mager don't know
what that's like. We'll probably never know how it feels
to be threatened every day. For Andrew Mager's sake,
let's hope it stays that way.
Two, maybe three months after Mager has started serving his sentence, he'll realize that people have forgotten
about Aim. Never mind about the cause; that's not what
concerns men with principles. As Mager stares at the confines of his new home, he'll be thinking, 'What about
me?'
In January of 1981, Mager decided to go public about
his refusal to register for'the draft. He spoke at length
with a reporter from the Providence Journal, only to see
the article printed without a word about himself. His attempts for publicity thwarted once, Mager traveled to Occidental, California to participate in a press conference
with other non-registrants. Only problem is, the limelight
has to be shared, and that's not Mager's style. 'What
about me?'
Well Andrew Mager got what he was looking for in
Syraci & . Demonstrations, vigils and a host of other activities ;ent on in support of his case. Television cameras
were poised, ready to record any dramatic outburst for
posterity. Just the stuff principled men eat up.
When Mager joined Upstate Resistance, a network of
people based in Syracuse who actively oppose the use of
military force and are against draft registration, it was a
match made in heaven. Mager was your perfect candidate
to play the part of martyr. A three-sport varsity athlete
and valedictorian at Oyster Bay High School. Just the
type Upstate Resistance was looking to use.
There are ways to change laws in this country. Mager
and Upstate Resistance feel that an effective method is to
disobey the law in question. Sounds questionable to me.
Perhaps someday in the future, Mager might decide to
follow Henry David Thoreau's example and refuse to pay
taxes because he doesn't believe in supporting the government in that fashion. He will have a choice: either pay the
taxes, dr go to jail. Still following Thoreau's lead, Mager
will of course, choose the latter. .For you see, Andrew
Mager is a very princi^ed man.

This article's author is the Managing Editor of the ASP
Ignorance is a sin
To the Editor:
In response to the "Be Positive" letter concerning
Patrice Johnson's column which appeared in the ASP
February 5.
•
It seems that the writer has missed the significance of
Patrice's column. Most of Patrice's columns last semester
shed light on important aspects of the black experience on
this campus. There is one, in case you haven't noticed.
Contrary to the phrase ". . . finds racism and discrimination in everything," I strongly protest. The underlyng
themes in her column are positive messages to minorities,
especially blacks, to strive for their personal goals in spite
of racism and discrimination. She is not a militant or
radical in the traditional sense, nor is she a separatist.
Patrice's message is softly spoken, yet firm and articulate
in its presentation, finding positive things in almost every
subject she writes about.
Therefore, it is more accurate to say that in spite of
racism and discrimination (especially on this campus) in
virtually all aspects of life, we must continue striving in a
society where racism is inherently established.
I believe that the unknown writer's statements about
Patrice's column were unjust and inaccurate. Only a
twisted, misguided and psuedo-intetlectual could be blind
to the implicit and explicit positive messages in Patrice's
columns. I thank the ASP for running the much needed
Patrice Johnson's column.
Unknown writer, ignorance/innocence in America Is
not bliss, it is a sin.

Jabberwocky
To the Editor:
May I, as one who so gullibly "buys the government's
line" on draft registration, congratulate you on the latest
invective directed at the United States of America.
Although I thought impossible, you have managed to
out-jabberwockize your predecessors through your constant efforts to misinform the student body.
Far from giving the government a green light, registration simply alerts the government to your whereabouts
should an emergency arise. A registrant in no way compromises his right to conscientious objection should he be
drafted. This is an indisputable fact that in no way impinged on your ability to spew anti-military rhetoric at the
drop of a hat.
As to the statement that the defense of our nation is
akin to "fighting blindly for somebody else's cause," I
should say that it was my understanding that the
maintenance of personal freedom was everybody's cause.
There is little doubt that, should a political system be imposed, whereby your right to print misleading information and factually Incorrect editorials is stifled, nothing
short of a call to arms would be demanded. And so
perhaps, Mr. Editor, the impetus of this regular selfflagellation should be questioned prior to the next installment of denunciations being printed.

that is the lack of involvement from other students.
Without aid and effort from others our cause can not

groups on and off campus that are devoted to alcohol
awareness yet this group lacks the involvement it needs.

Usually chooses an area to work on and then the committee meets to discuss the development. This format allows
for many projects to be accomplished, but we need more

to provide this service but this group is determined to
strive forward and produce effective results. Whether we

others and even if we could help one person our goal
would be reached. If anyone is interested please contact

Stop the draft
To the Edjtor:
I would like to commend you on the February 5
editorial on draft registration. Andy Mager's open refusal
to register was a very brave act, and so was the protesting
by the eight people who were arrested at the federal court
in Syracuse. His refusal to register was certainly not unpatriotic. It was a way of protesting and petitioning the
government to change an unjust and militaristic law that
makes it easy to have a draft. If a person is drafted into
the armed forces he loses civil liberties such as free
speech, privacy, right to trial by jury, as well as being
forced to lead a harsh military life. He also is required to
kill another human being when ordered to do so, besides
putting his pwn life in jeopardy.
Draft resistance is not a new idea. It has been done in
many other countries, and was first resisted in the U.S.
during the Civil War, when many violent draft riots broke
out. There were a great number of resisters during the
World Wars, though the U.S. government took harsh and
violent. actions against them. Now there are at least
500,000 men who have failed to register. This is twice the
amount of people that refused during the Vietnam War.
What does the current registration mean? It means that
the military will get your name, address, social security
number, and phone number in their computers, so they
can track you.down any time. It also means that you'll
pledge yourself to the Selective Service System, and give
up control of your life to the government. The draft
means that the administration may be getting ready to
launch another war, which will likely occur in Central
America. The more names the Selective Service has, the
more ready, willing, and able the U.S. will be to deploy
the armed forces.
So far only eight people have been sentenced for failure
to register in the four years the current registration has existed. It takes too long to prosecute everyone, and there
wouldn't be enough jail space anyway. However, the
Solomon Amendment allows the denial of federal financial aid to students who fail to register. What this docs is
to Impose a punishment on an individual without even
having a trial. It also denies the right to education for
those who disagree with government policy. Fortunately,
the Selective Service gives plenty of notice that you didn't
register (if they discover this), and you'll be allowed to
register before they cut off your future.
I know there are plenty of conscientious objectors out
there like Andy and myself who have refused to commit
themselves to a system that discriminates on the basis of
age, sex, and socio-economic status. We want to stop the
draft, not evade it. We must all stand up for what we
believe in.

Stolen finals
To the Editor:
In an earlier article of the ASP regarding stolen
business finals, it states that the MSI21S and ACC222
classes had to retake the final. It also says that ACC211
students were not compromised by the rewritten final. I
agree that the ACC2U students were not compromised,
they were sacrificed.
The mean score of the ACC211 final was 20 points
below the mean of Dr. Cannon's previous classes. One
might think that Dr.' Cannon would curve somewhat to
make up for this, (considering that the class was four
points below the mean before the final,) but he did not.
What this meant was that only 20 percent of the 4S0 or so
students got an A or a B, while about 50 percent recieved
a D or an E as a grade.
Some say Dr. Cannon took his vengeance out on the
class, while others believe that he tried to be fair. I
disagree with the former. To see Dr. Cannon's face after
the final, smiling, all jolly, you would think that he had
just won the tottery.
It's interesting that the ACC211 students didn't have a
retest like the ACC222 and MSI215 classes did. Maybe
the results of the ACC211 finals were bad enough not to
warrant a retest, while the other classes did well. Because
of this past term's fiasco, I wouldn't be surprised to see
that the cumulative GPA of the class of '87 business
students is the lowest in the history of the "most holy"
business school.
With the lessons of this past term behind us, 1 hope that
future students don't think of the "all mighty" business
school as the next best thing to diet soda on this campus.

Serious matters
T o the Editor:
The controversial Affirmative Action Policy is being
reviewed and revised by the Internal Affairs Committee
of the SA. The importance of this policy warrants the input of many persons, in particular, group leaders. Unfortunately, not one group leader attended Tuesday night's
meeting.
Streamlining this policy is just one of our tasks.
Another task, and perhaps a more important one, is to insure that the policy is used, and used effectively. To this
end, the participation andjrooperation of group leaders is
needed. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, February
12, 1985 at 9:00 p.m. Affirmative Action is a serious matter and its policy implications are far-reaching. Therefore
it is imperative that group leaders who have suggestions,
or who will inevitably be affected by this policy, attend.

Central Council Member
Student book co-op
T o the Editor:
Regarding Jeff Turk's letter "Bookstore Ripoffs"
(ASP, February 1) in which he decries Barnes and Noble's
business practices and proposes instead of a University
run bookstore, I would like to go him one better: A nonprofit, student-run book co-op.
I haven't puzzled out the nuts and bolts of setting up
such an organization, but I'm certain there are people on
this campus supremely qualified to do so (our business
students, for example.) Obviously, a co-op would demand an enormous commitment and would bear incredible responsibility, but if enough students felt as strongly
as we, Turk and I, do about getting taken by Barnes and
Noble's unfair and un-cthical buy-back policies, and if
they expressed their feelings in the form of cooperative
action, the organization would gain all the support and
commitment needed to run smoothly.
Putting a co-op together shouldn't be taken as a
burdensome task, but as the idea of entering into a IIOHremunitlve enterprise might strike the more pragmatic
among us as a bit unfamiliar, perhaps credits could be
given to those participating at the managerial/organizational level of the co-op.
If the University wants a profitable business to rent
space, lei Barnes and Noble remain as a purveyor of
paper, pencils, magazines, etc. As I seem to recall a letter
lo the editor last semester in which some Barnes and Noble folks maintained those were the most profitable items
in their inventory.

vote, or take any part in law making, which are
made by the 4.5 million whites. When asked about
the fate of the minority of progressive whites who
protest apartheid, he said, "they have it just as bad.
They have two alternatives: Leave the country, as
many have, or go to jail." The opposition party
forms less than one-sixth of the South African
parliament, Jordan added.
Recently, Jordan has been working on
"divesture," trying to convince, or force U.S. firms
to pull, their investments out of South Africa. His
most recent efforts have been in behalf of the New
York State Bill ' on divesture introduced by
Assembly Member Arthur Eve (D-Buffalo).
The bill will be the subject of a debate sponsored
by the Black and Puerto Rican Caucus of the State
Legislature this Sunday in the Legislative Office
Building at the Empire State Plaza.
"There are $14.6 billion U.S. dollars invested in
South Africa," Jordan stated. "Removal of those
monies would starve the government. The peoples
of the world look to the U.S. for leadership. If they
see the U.S. investing there, or siding with South
Africa in U.N. votes, they think it is alright to do
the same. Divestiture would hasten the breaking of
the Pretoria government, morally, economically,
spiritually, and politically. The United States
should take the. lead," he explained.
Although Jordan hits beetl M'HSAhe'' for'sTjflhW'W
years, he is quite knowledgeable about the South
Africa of today. In addition to his research, he is in
weekly communication with Nobel Peace Laureate,
Bishop Desmond Tutu, an old friend.
- The issue of freedom in his homeland is an obsession with Jordan, and has directed his creative efforts as well as his political work. This summer, his
book of poetry, Poetry of Protest from a South .
African in Exile, will be published, and next winter
he plans to release a historical novel entitled,
Awake My Anguished Land.

Jordan especially praised students for their efforts, remembering that it was the protests of
students that stopped the Vietnam War, and that
students from all over the state will be coming to .
Albany on March 19 to lobby the legislature in support of the Eve divestiture bill.
But it is not as an author or a politician that Jordan is remarkable. His energy, his clarity, his
knowledge, and most of all his committment show
why the whites that rule South Africa have considered him an enemy for 25 years.

He added that in five lobby

Gawley also was vefy optimistic
about Student Action's

Steve Larfdis, Central Council
member for State Quad, stated
the importance of women's safety
and noted the formation of the

Flagroom. The Student Safety
Alliance is currently a pilot program on Colonial Quad.

tends to neglect the domestic
sphere. She added that women
who raise children fall outside the
political and economic realms
that Marxism operates within.
"Because they (women) are confined to the home, they are seen
as outside of history," she said.
What occurs in society doesn't
concern many women, she added.
Marx and Engel, according to
Jagger, felt that the sexual division of work in the home was
natural and they also believed
that women would do housework
."without any indication as to why
women do it," she said.They also
felt, Jagger said, that men had a
strong sex drive, so women would
have to endure their husband's
"harassment and rape."

Jagger said.
Capitalism, in.Marxist theory,
is seen as the creator of society's
ills. Class differences arise
because of capitalist ownership
and oppression, according to Jagger, thereby dividing society into
competing groups.
Marxism has made contributions to the women's cause, Jagger said, by revealing the oppression of marriage. In Marxist
theory, women exchange sex and
reproductive functions for the
economic security of marriage,
Jagger said. She added that
women are forced to endure their
husband's infidelity and abuse.
Marxists believe that by
abolishing capitalism, "true
love" would become the basis for
marriage, Jagger said.
However, while Marxism
cheers the entrance of women into the work force, it fails to
recognize that women are
relegated to sex-segregated jobs,
Jagger said. In turn, the low
wages earned by women hold
down all wages, thereby
benefiting and prolonging
capitalism, she added.
Jagger said that, except for its
critiques of marriage, Marxisrn
She said that the Marxist emphasis on men's labor has served
to oppress women throughout
Marxist doctrines.
Jagger concluded that a new
feminist theory would have to
recognize that gender and sex
roles are socially constructed, not
the result of nature's work.
"Women are not free as long as
men define their sexuality," she

Averill tops record, but Chiefs top grapplers
Ski team impressive on Toggenburg slopes
Albany State, in its First ever intercollegiate ski competition, came away with
a win, defeating fifteen Division II
schools, at the Toggenburg ski area.
Albany was represented by a men's team
consisting of Adam Margolin (captain),
Eddie Levine (co-captain) and John Kershko. With only three competitors,) five
racers make a full team), Albany State
managed to rack up 74 team points, a high
standard for full teams.
Levine was clearly the star of the meet,
punching through the gates taking first in
the men's slalom with 41.64 seconds and
41.56 seconds, combined 83.2 seconds,
and fourth in the giant slalom. "I felt okay
but I still need some work,"said Levine.
The giant slalom event was held late due
to timing problems. As a result the seventy
three men racers skied in the dark on a
poorly lit trail. In addition a squall line
passed over the mountain creating blizzard
conditions with 40 foot visibility.
"I couldn't see the course, all I could
make out were the flapping flags on the

gates," panted Levine as he waited to hear
his time.
Margolin had an up and down day on
the courses, no pun intended. You might
say, his first run in the slalom went clean,
placing him mid-pack. On his second run
however, he blew out catching his left ski
tip on a gate sending him hurdling through
the air and tumbling 30 yards down the
mountain.
"It's too bad they don't give points for
wipe outs, quipped Margolin. " I've been
told it was a solid ti'/i, blood would have
made it a 9." In the giant slalom, Margolin
took a respectable tenth.
John Kcrshko also had mixed results. In
his second slalom run, Kershko missed a
gate and was disqualified. In the giant
slalom, he did pretty well, finishing 32nd
out of the 73 competitors.
On January 26 a meet was held in Buffalo, however the team was unable to
attend.
"We really wanted to be there," said
Margolin," but we simply don't have the
money." He added: "The Student
Association has been very generous in appropriating the team $280. However', entry
fees to the four meets alone costs $1,000
plus transportation and lodging. You can
easily see why we decided not to go to Buffalo. It's unfortunate though, since we've
missed a meet we're no longer eligible for
the championships in Pennsylvania."
The team practices off snow, around
campus, on Mondays, Thursdays, and
Fridays and travels to Jimney mountain on
Wednesday nights.
Around campus you might see them in

perimeter or hopping up the tower stepson

The keys to the victory were a solid
pressure defense which cut the nine
point Union lead to two at halftime and
a patient offense in which the Danes
were able to feed the ball inside to Tom
McOuire, Brett Axelrod and Jeff Kee.
McGuire was the most effective of the
threesome scoring 22 points on 9 of 11
shooting from the floor and hitting four
out of five free throws. Another element
that was critical to the wi was the play
of guard Charles "Freeze" Storey, who
had seven steals and 11 points.
"Freeze played under control,'
organized the offense really well and
played a good defensive game," said
Head Coach Jim Boland.
The Dane defense, which had played
sub-par in the Hudson Valley game, rebounded and played one of their better
games all season.
"We beat them off the boards and
that was the key to the game," explained Boland.

been lacking was in foul shooting, but'

The Albany-RPI men's indoor track
dual meet has traditionally been a
nailbiter. There used to be another tradition: an Albany win. The Engineers broke
that tradition Saturday at their track as
they defeated the'Danes 73-63 in a typically exciting battle.
It was I lie first Albany loss in eieht dual
meets against RPI. The Danes' dual meet
record Tell lo 0-3.
"It looks as though we're going to have
a losing season," said Coach Bob Munsey.
To break .500 Albany must win all five of
ils remaining dual meets.
Albany could have tied the meet by winning the last event, ihe 4x400 meter relay,
but the Danes were 10 yards back at the
first hand-off and never got closer.
Though Munsey said, "It was not a
great day for the Purple," there were some
fine early-season performances by Ihe
Danes.
All-American Marc Mercurio extended
his own school record in the 35-pound
weight throw for the second consecutive
week. He heaved the ball-and-handle 53'
9.5". ' !
The toss was nearly lour feet over the
national championship qualifying standard, but .both Mercurio and Munsey said
he must tllrow even further to guarantee it
spot in ihe 12-iniiu'field at the nationals.
Freshman Curt Wledman had his second.
impressive pole vault performance in as
many weeks, as he again cleared 13' 6".
Wicdmiin won the "Red Feather,"
which Munsey gives lo the outstanding
Albany athlete of each indoor meet.
Tri-cnptniii Paul Mnnce missed a double

Paul Pearl In the "long". Mance soared
20' 8" in the long jump.
In his first meet of the season, Mike Rlggins won the 45 meter dash In 5.6 seconds.
Dana Melvin was second in an identical
time.
Pat Saccocio and Clinton Bell went 1-3
in the 500 meter dash, clocking 1:09.7 and
1:10.6 respectively. Bell said he was surprised that he had been entered in a dash.
"My best event is the 800 (meter run) or
the 1500 (meter run)," he said.
Before the 3000 meter run, sophomore
Timothy Hoff wondered whether he was
sick. "1 feel like I'm coming down with
something," he said. "Bui," he added, "it
will not stop me."
He was healthy enough to win in 9:12.4.
Ed McGill, who placed second in 9:13.2,
spent most of the race watching the runners behind him or encouraging Hoff.
Peart beat Albany's John Reillyjn the
400-meter dash for his second win of the
afternoon. Pearl's time was 53.3, while
Reilly ran 53.7.
RPI had another double winner in AllAmerican Scott LeMay. He edged teammate Steve Zen in the 1,000-mcter run.
The Danes' Tom Kaoandes was third in
2:40.
Earlier, LeMay had run 4:04.7 to beat
McGill (2nd, 4:06.5) and John Glaser (3rd,
4:17) in the 1,500-meter run.
The Purple also finished 2-3 in the
800-meter run. Freshman ,Pedro Valeria
ran 2:04, while classmate Craig Barbieri
was a second behind.
Bruce Van Tassel's 7.5 was good for second in the 50-meter high hurdles.
Freshman Mike Bivozi was third.
The 4x800-metcr relay team (Charles
Tuna, Dave Blette, Valerio and Kucandes)
won in 8:23.
Munsey said he was disappointed by the.

Albany kept hitting the important free
throws down the stretch.
"They tried to come back by fouling
us, but we were tough from the line
tonight," said guard John Burns.
The Danes were led in rebounding by
Axelrod, who grabbed 12 rebounds, and
Kee, who snared four caroms off of the
offensive glass.
Despite the win, Boland was able to
point but a weakness on defense. "We
kept giving up open jump shots to
Union, and we were burned at least four
different times."
The much-needed win raised the
Danes' record to 9-6 going into last

which lost to Hudson Valley by two
points.
Tomorrow night is a playback game

In coach Joe DeMep's opinion, there
was no excuse for the Albany State grapplers' 30-13 loss to Springfield College
Wednesday night. •
"I definitely felt we should have won
that, match," said DeMeo, "more after
having seen them wrestle. We just didn't
wrestle well."
DeMeo's comment was provoked by the
fact that the match between the Dane grapplers, ranked ninth in Div. Ill, and Springfield, ranked seventh in Div. II, was actually much closer than the final score
indicates.
The match began in the usual way for
Albany, with Ail-Americans Shawn
Sheldon and Dave Averill winning the 118
and 126 lb. weight classes. For Sheldon,
who won his match against Springfield's
Chris Perry by technical superiority, it was
his 19th straight win of the season. For
NCAA champion Averill, the win extended his streak to 19 as well, and made him

The grappler's next competition will
come on Saturday at Binghamton, against
the Colonials and Cortland. Binghamton,
although defeated by Albany at the State
Championships, is ranked second among
Div. Ill schools.
"They didn't have on of their best guys

3-point play 'the big play of the
night'. 'We wanted to score. We
wanted to be aggressive,' he said,
'but we made some awful decisions offensively.'
'We were in deep trouble,' said
Sauer and he wasn't kidding. At
one point in the first half, the
Danes found themselves down by
10 points, cutting the Union lead
to 4, 33-29 at the half. This was
the first time Albany had been
trailing at halftime since the
defeat at Potsdam.
'We weren't taking the shots
we should have,' said Sauers.
'Those things can catch up with
you.'
When asked why his team,
which was so aggressive in the
first half, came out so flat in the
second allowing Albany to score
eight consecutive points, Scanlon
said, 'Our intensity level had really dropped off. It's happened
more than once this year.' *
According to Adam, Albany
doesn't need an incentive when
playing Union, but he called
Scanlon his 'biggest incentive'.
Adam, who could have played for
Union or Albany, said he and
Scanlon have 'a friendly rivalry*.
In addition to Adam's 16
points, Ursprung had 11 points
Greg Hart was once again in double figures with 10 points. Hart
also grabbed 9 rebounds while
Ursprung led Albany with 11.
Mike Miller, who came into the
game averaging 5.3 points per
game, put in 15 points to lead the
scoring for Union. Also in double figures for the Dutchmen were
Kevin Bartlett and Tom Beck with
13 and 10 points respectively. On
the boards, Ken D'Orazio led all
players with 13 rebounds.
Going into Wednesday's game,
Albany was ranked 17th in the nation in Division III. According to
Adam, it may have 'helped our
confidence a lot'.
But Sauers warned not to put
too much faith in the poll. 'It's
the worst poll in the world,' he
said, adding that 'you can't compare teams in different regions.'

Oneonta a two-time victim of women cagers
By Krlstine Sauer
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
When it was over, the Albany State
women's basketball team members breathed a collective sigh of relief.
O n e o n t a ' s attempt at avenging
November's two point loss to Albany State
faltered as the Danes triumphed 65-46 on
Tuesday night.
The final score doesn't indicate how
close the game really was. The tied (29-29)
halftime score gives a better picture. In
fact, the see-sawing back and forth of the
entire first half tells the true story.
"We were challenged by them for the
whole game," said Albany coach Mari
Warner. "On offense in the first half we
weren't moving the ball. They were breaking our 1-3-1 trap so we took it out completely in the second half."
The first two periods were low scoring.
Albany never let Oneonta get more than a
two point edge over them. With two
minutes left in the half, the Danes were up
by five, the largest lead thus far in the
game. But poor Dane play characterized
by missed baskets and turnovers resulted
in Oneonta ending the half at a standstill.
"It was a tight first half," said Warner.
"They weren't missing many in the last six
minutes. We were getting the offensive rebounds, but couldn't get it back in the
Gymnasts win fifth in row
By Terrl Davis
The unbeaten Albany State gymnasts once again proved themselves on Tuesday,
Feb. 5 when they crushed New Paltz, boosting their undefeated record to 5-0.
The Dane gymnasts dominated the entire meet taking first, second and third in all
four events.
In the first event, vaulting, Sue " T " Uskowitz, strong for Albany all season, took
first place with an 8.35. She was followed by teammates Terri "Tsuks" Sokol (7.85)
and freshman Michele Husak (7.5) respectively.
Although It was an off day for the Danes on the uneven parallel bars, they managed
to glide to the top three places. With a fine repeat performance, sophomore Leslie
Steekcl captured first place with a 7.85 breaking the season record. The record that
Steckel broke was set in a previous meet by Nora Bellantoni. Nora finished second
(7.0), followed by Br end 9 "Stretch" Armstrong in third place (6.25).
lacking depth due to injury, New Paltz continued to trail behind Albany. Confidence and consistency aided the Danes in maintaining a solid team total on the beam.
Armstrong nailed first with a 7.85 followed by Carol "Baby" Bart in second (7.5).
Karen "Spike" Bailey, returning from an ankle injury, with much determination captured third with a 7.35.
High scores continued for Albany to its strongest event, the floor exercise. Season
record holder, Michele Husak tumbled into lirst place with an 8.35. Second was taken
by Armstrong (7.6). Surprise performer Jennifer Cleary danced her way Into third for
Albany with a 7.45 for the first time this season.
This Saturday at 1:00 p.m. in the University Gym the Lady Danes will take on
M.I.T. and Salem State, Albany's closest Div. Ill competitor to date. Come cheer
them on as they go all out to remain undefeated.
D
basket."
A big factor in the first half was
Oneonta's point guard, Janet Bignone.
Bignone penetrated the Dane defense then
passed off. Bignone, who scored only five
points, was not a scoring threat, but Lorl
Chamberlain, who she was constantly
dishing the ball off to was. Chamberlain
scored 12 points in the first half.
"In the first half they were shooting
really well," said Dane Kim Kosalek.
At halftime the Danes made some
changes. The Danes typically play a fast
game, with a lot of pressing and running.
Oneonta had broken the press and the
Dane offense just wasn't working.
"We adapted our offense, which helped
us out the second half," said Warner.
"There was more movement inside. We
were moving the ball quicker and better."
At the start of the second half the Danes
switched to man to man defense and stuck
with it. "The man to man helped a lot,
with it we were able to put more pressure,
on them," said Kosalek.
With the changes the second half continued to be tight until the Danes went on a
scoring binge. With 13 minutes remaining
the score was tied 38-38. Within the next
V/i to 4'A minutes, sparked by a Chris
Cannata-Donna Hughes substitution, the
Danes held a ten point lead, the biggest until the final minutes. The Dane defense
caused turnovers and kept Oneonta from
even attempting to shoot. Rainny Lcsane
started to penetrate, was fouled and went
to the line. Kosalek went to the hoop dished off low to Lori Bayba. Not one Dane
player was dominant. It was a five woman
effort.
"This win was very much a team effort," said Warner. "After this lead the
other players who went in kept it rolling
and we never let up after that. I had looked
up at the clock with 13 minutes left • the
score was tied. I thought to myself we have
to start pulling this out."
And they did pull it out. The Danes
outscored Oneonta 25-8 in the final eight
minutes. Point guard, Bignone was now
making bad passes and her teammates
were taking bad shots. "They got rattled
when we put the pressure on. The man to
man really came through," said Hughes.
Warner said, "Offensively we made adjustments, but our shooting was not
good." Overall the Danes shot 35 percent
from the floor.

Arts .Center, She Department of Music
presented a program designed to explore'
the work of 'percussion. The varied program, -presented works In the marimba;
horn,;timpani and amplified piano.
Rina Young
The concert was conceived by Richard
Albagli,; percussion soloist, orchestral per-,
former, and educator oh the faculties of the
University at Albany and the Rehsselear
_ Polytechnic Institute. Guest artists included'
David Saunders, principal hbrftist of the
Albany Symphony, percussionist Scott
Stacey, and pianists Diane Guernsey and
Ronald Gianattosto.
Rainny Loai.no drives lo the hoop.
Albagli began the concert with three
short pieces from My Lady White on the
marimba, which resembles a xylophone in
appearance. The slow echoes began to
rumble slowly and awaken, opening our
senses to the pulse, reminiscent of a distant
drumbeat. Similar In sound to kettle
drums, the slow progression surged ahead,
intensifying and then dropping back, lulling us with the melody and, weaving a
web of sound around the theatre. It
resembled the underwater echoes and
sonic communication among dolphins,
After surging back and forth, the composition tapered off until all that was left was
the memory.
The next piece, Who the Silent Hunter
Over a Sea of Mist?... was inspirled by a
poem by Dag Hammarskjold. Returning to
the marimba, again with two mallets In
each hand, it seemed quite a teat that
Albagli was able to manipulate them to hit
the correct notes with such deftness and
intensity.
Accompanied by David Saunders on the
french horn, the composition began slowly
and quietly, like a voice calling out Into the
darkness, hoping and waiting. Without an
answer, the voice trailed off Into silence.
The marimba began slowly but surged forward in a melody separate from the concerns of the lone voice and followed a different melody. The long notes of the horn
returned with the hope of a response, like
that of a ship in the black night searching
for another to ward off the loneliness of
solitude. Unanswered, the ship moves on
quietly Into the night.
In contrast to the haunting sound of the
horn, the timpani, which are drum-like instruments, pierced the calm mood, Usually
in the background of the orchestral composition, It was the sole instrument. Since
the timpani is restricted In pitches, the
types of melodies are also limited. The first
piece, "Saeta", was a melodic work that
held constant pitches In A, D and E. The
change of registers made it seem as if two
people were playing as the running undercurrent of the first register surrounded the
regal sound of the second. The sudden,
loud notes made one think back to the age
of dinosaurs; an image of magestic beasts
crossing the desert, pounding the earth,
slowly crossing the land to their ultimate
demise.
"Canaires," the second piece, was a nonmelodic piece in a tonal arrangement of
pitches. The strong rhythmic composition
worked with tempos and metres whereas
traditional melodic works use theme and
key in 4/4 time. Here, the tempo was
changed to triplets. This was done In a succession that progressively quicked to create
a surging energy in a flurry of motion. It
drove the adrenaline and raced the heart,
moving closer and closer in lime until they
were about the descend, then trailed off
until they once again surged forward and
triumphed In a frenzied crescendo.
The final composition, George Crumb's
Music for a Summer Evening, ,was the
centerpiece of the program. It was composed for two amplified pianos and a wide
variety of percussion instruments, many of
them unconventional. Each of the five
movements explored the range of emotion
, from tension to transcendence.
Starting out with the stark, surealistic imagery of a forest, the vibrating sounds
created a tension of the unknown in the
mind. A nocturnal presence was felt,
resembling the life that the night takes on
as it overcomes the day. Images, half
forgotten in the mist that lay deep in the
fermentation of dreams and ancient
rememberings'. The intensity of the music
increased as the random noises filled the
ear, only to stop, allowing the anxiety to
increase, Building up once again in a weaving manner, the dread mounted until the
clang of the Chinese gong reverberated
silent echoes.
Each of the movements articulated an
expressive momentum as "the first, third
and fifth movements would seem to define
the primary import of the work...a kind of
cosmic drama'." These movements were
inspired by poetic quotations which were
transposed into musical pieces.
Minimalist, yet ephemeral in nature, the
last movement, "Music ot the Starry
Night", left one floating in euphoric
calmness. It touched that part of our consciousness which is usually disjointed from
Ihe mind in the rush of life around us. But
he music and the tranquility that was left
in its wake calmed the nerves and (lowed
through the veins, renewing our life's
blood.
The concert juxtaposed the toe-lapping

"Puttin' on the Ritz". No crackers. Really.
"With the 100
people I had to turn
down with the Del
FuegOs, I'm not
afraid to try."
Michelle Krell
Puttin' on the Ritz, located at 8 Cental
Avenue, is the answer to what Albany has
been praying for since the cremation of J.
B. Scott's and The Chateau. Things looked
grim for a while as 288 Lark became
Albany's sole link to the world of national
garage pop and new wave. Intrigued to the
point of challenge, Ritz manager Kevin
Murray and partner Dolores Bianchino
decided it was time for a change.
On that note, Puttin' on the Ritz jumped
from an unsuccessful attempt at a 30's and
40's music club into modern crest and
trough. With bands like the Del Fuegos
and The Replacements headlining shows,
the club has itself become an item. The
club's relaxed non-pretentious atmosphere
could make anyone forget that they had
even paid money to get there in the first
place. Don't believe it? Does Opy have
ears?
A quickly squiggled eight is brushed onto the glass of the club's front door which
leads to a single flight of red carpeted
stairs. The three chrome bars that give the
door its deco look, "are from a coat rack,"
Murray reveals. "See that metal plate to
the left of the door? That came from a
trailer."
People are banging hammers upstairs,
making way for what Bianchino hints as
the club's expansion. Murray, excusing
himself for playing Ma Bell, is on the
phone with WCDB music director Claudia
Bensen, making plans for the evening
show. A few more calls and he swings
himself around one of the wooden tables,

turned on for the first time in three days
and everyone is rubbjng their hands
together.
"The club scene in Albany is terrible,"
Murray mutters in response to a question.
"There aren't any clubs here in Albany.
288 tries, but they can only do so much.
We had J00 people here one Friday and
had to turn down about 100 people."
Because of this incident, Murray and Bianchino are considering doing a double take
on the headliner shows with the advance
sale of tickets. Pretty big for a small time
operation that averages a headliner or two
a week.
In the December issue of Real George's
"Backroom Buzz," Mike Eck, a WCDB DJ,
describes Puttin' on the Ritz's booking tactics as "aggressive". Aggressive seems to be
an understatement as Murray divulges, "1

to check out bands I've heard about,

WCDB...I work through Northeast Talent,
BLOOD
a booking agent here in town."
The seating booths to the left of the
stage hint old time train coach seating, a
welcome diversion from the traditional
club table and chair. The club's stage has
room for a four to five person band and
even a few audience cohorts. Its floor is
covered in black and white tile and an unlit
neon sign that reads "Dance Hall" hangs ir
the very -'back of the stage (a remnant o
Puttin' on the Ritz's original intention).
"We originally opened up with the concept
of music from the 30's and 40's a little over
two years ago," says Bianchino. "We
changed our concept because the adults
don't support the music scene in this area."
If adults don't support the music scene
here in Albany then there is no question
who does. "Local colleges, SUNYA, St.
Rose, and R.P.I.," says Murray. Murray,
who books both national and regional acts,
banks on rising new wave entertainment
which caters to the college community.
Rising entertainment means taking a
chance, but Murray isn't afraid of it;

"When you're guessing at what's going up,
you find musicians try harder. With the
100 people I had to turn down with the
Del Fuegos, I'm not afraid to try."
Prices aren't bad either. For local bands
there's a two dollar charge. Anything
beyond local puts the range at three to four
dollars. Murray feels that he is "giving
New York City entertainment for Albany
prices," and he's right. He charges one-third
to one-half of what Danceteria or Irving
Plaza charge and those are the cheapies in
Koch Land.
If Puttin' on the Ritz doesn't get torched
or pull a Hullabaloo shutdown, Albany
may get the music miracle it's been praying
for. Grafitti may begin to blossom in its
bathrooms and more than a few people
might take the Kevin Murray Challenge
seriously; "Complaints about no music
since J.B. Scott's, The Chateau, and The
Hullabaloo being gone are past. Now it's
here so let's see if they really mean what
they are saying."

he 1980's have proven be very profitable for bjack American entertainers, especially in the field of music. The vast majority of national chart toppers were by black
American performers. And this year big names like McCartney and Jagger made it
to tW op ten with the help of an even bigger name, Micheal Jackson. Julio Iglesias finally
broke the barrier on the American music industry with his duet with Diana Ross (on his
album titled 1100 Bel Air Place) — a feat long awaited and denied, despite his enormous
international popularity.
There Were other successful team-ups in

The entire project of creating the / Feel

teamwork. Besides the obvious supercollaboration on the single "I Feel For You"
(song b y Prince, vocals by Chaka Khan, rap

overwhelming efforts that went into the

For this one album, 9 producers, IS

balladeers like Ugene Wilde (with his

Thelma Houston, Madonna and Nuance

in the years to come.
Is It possible that these and other such

D
Last year, hundreds of artists joined in
this jazz renaissance. But it's more than just
albums that made '84 a great year for jazz.
All you have to do is pick up a copy of the
.Village Voice to witness the explosion of
jazz in the clubs. On a given night you
might find as many as six or more well
known artists playing, often with backup
musicians accomplished enough to be performing on their own somewhere else in
town. Even Albany's own Nick Brignola is
back in the spotlight, playing every Thursday night at the Italia in Troy.
The heart of jazz is not in the studio but
in the clubs and the community of those
who play and love and live the music. And
that community is fast becoming the solid
foundation for great jazz, as it was back in
the '40s and '50s — spawning Parker and
Gillespie, Monk, Miles, Mingus, Blakey,
Coletrane and Coleman, among dozens of
other immortal artists of jazz music. 1984
proved that, far from fading away, jazz is
intensely alive — not as the passion of a
few odd fans here and there, but as
"America's classical music."
So who are these great jazz artists emerging from" the obscure woodwork? First on
the list must be Wynton Marsalis, the
brilliant young trumpeter (barely old
enough to be a grad student) whose
parallel talents in jazz and classical have
made him the Michael Jackson of the
musical elite. His album Hot House
Flowers, a pretty big hit as jazz albums go,
and has established Marsalis and his music
as a symbol of the jazz revival.
It's great to see jazz getting this long
overdue exposure, but don't let all the
Wynton Marsalis hype overshadow the
vast number of great jazz albums coming
out every week. For starters, there's Marsalis number 2, Branford, an excellent sax
player and composer who released his first
album, Scenes in the City, last year. Branford's solid quartet lays out some of the
finest traditional jazz music to be heard on
record today.
Among the dozens of new artists working in the sounds and spirit of jazz, one of
the best around now is sax player David
Murray, who i (finally!) released his first
solo album, Morning Song on the progressive Black Saint record label, last year.
A member of the inimitable World Saxophone Quartet, and a name that appears
on albums and club dates with the best artists around, Murray embodies the incredible potential for jazz in the '80s.
Speaking of incredible potential, 1984
saw the release of Renaissance Man. a new
album from Ornette Coleman disciple and
bassist extraordinaire Jamaaldecn Tacuma.
Never have funk, blues, and tree-form
been combined in such an exciting album.
The album ranges from last frenetic lunk
to narrated poetry and string quartets. If
you're a person who takes listening to jazz
seriously, Jamaaldeen's Renaissance Man is
worth your while.
And if all this incredible new music isn't
enough for you (gee - - we haven't even
mentioned Pat Methany yet), record labels
such as Pablo and Savoy are pouring out
recordings of Count Basic, Oscar Peterson,
Milt Jackson, Coleman Hawkins and scores
of other classic artists.
If you've got the blues (or if you want
them) just keep an eye in the cutout bins of
any record store, or even your campus
bookstore, for a seemingly endless slew of
obscure traditional and new blues albums.
And all this is but the tip of a veritable
iceberg of 1984's great jazz music.

searches for careful!)' measured answers
to probing questions, Ally Sheedy is also
a portrait of wistful vulnerability. The
young girl who achieved best-seller
status as an author at age 12 with her
book She Was Nice to Mice, grew Into an
accomplished actress, best known for
her box-office smash WarGames, and
soon tt> be seen in V.w Breakfast Club,
and Twice in a Life Time."
She has accomplished much in her 22
years, but Ally still readily admits to
searching for and believing in the possibility of real, lasting love,
"True, pure love can enhance your life
in every way; a free, warm, supportive
relationship is rare, but worth finding.
"1 think there is a return to old, traditional values," says the young woman
whose parents were divorced when she
was nine.
"I don't think there's anything wrong
with getting pleasure in sex. But personally, I'm not very promiscuous — not at
all. 1 believe a lot of people have a twofaced attitude that says that it's just a
function of human nature to sleep with
someone—a sort of release. Still, almost
every person I know, of both sexes, really wants to fall in love."
Firmly committed to her career and to
her ongoing major In acting at USC, Ally
nevertheless thinks that work and love
can be compatible, if they are rooted In
a sense of self worth.
"For me, as far as a career is concerned, love would not be a hindrance;
it would be helpful ... at the same time,
I feel that the other person would have
to feel good about his own work areas
and have his own work Interests."
Whether she's concerned with work
or love, Ally functions on the basis of
being absolutely honest with herself.
"I know that 1 have a little place In the
center of my gut that tells me If people
are on the level. Inside, I always know. I
don't know where It comes from, but If I
follow that little voice it usually leads me
to the right place and makes me a little
stronger."
That's very important, considering all
the temptations she's around, as her
career continues to soar in Hollywood.
"You want to believe there's a Santa
Claus, that it's all true, because It's all so
enticing. A lot of people float along, trying to give life some meaning with
drugs, drink and money. But I don't
think any of those things work. It has to
come from Inside. It takes a lot of work
for me to keep myself at peace, and I
often say, 'Thank God, I don't buy Into
the other scene.'"
Ally lives alone now, In a small guest
house In the Hollywood Hills, but a
few years ago, she lived with her boyfriend. That long-term relationship dissolved when they both grew In separate directions.

me to be an accountant.' Well, what
would be wrong if you ended up being
an accountant for a graphic arts firm?"
When Anderson talks about her book,
It becomes evident that helping others
find their niche Is her passion. The fiftyish Anderson makes a perfect example
of what she preaches. Her rendezvous
with career counseling was totally unplanned. She worked as a journalist, her
former husband was a career counselor.
When she helped him get started In a
private practice, she discovered that her
journalism background helped make her
a fine counselor, as well. There were
many similarities — knowing how to
Interview people, getting accurate data,
finding proper sources, and being a
good listener. Anderson started a career
consulting firm eight years ago in Mill
Valley, Ca., with her partner Carol Miller,
and hasn't looked back since.
Of course, Anderson's journalism
background didn't hurt when she felt it
was time to write a book. Extremely
readable, Work With Passion Is filled
with first-hand success stories of people
who made it, and explains exactly how
they reached their career goals. Other
things included are how to write to spe/
clfic companies, sample resumes and basically not just how to get your foot In
the door, but how to make sure you are
putting your foot in the special door you
want. To this end there are various tests
(see sidebar) that will give readers an
insight Into their personality strengths
and weaknesses and tell what kind of
work they should be pursuing. One
thing the book helps to do is eliminate
the normal fears that come whenever
anyone Is looking for work.
One anxiety that many college students face, says Anderson, is the fear that
the career decision they make ls one
that Is going to last forever. That's just
not the case, she says. Studies show that
most people make a career change
about every seven years. "It's perfectly
normal to have many changes and shifts
In a really great career," says Anderson.
"If you decide to try something for a
year or so, and It doesn't work out. that
doesn't mean that you've failed. It means
that you've learned everything you
needed to learn, gained a lot of experience, and you can be certain the experience will lead you to the next thing that
you will be doing."
Anderson believes that too much emphasis is placed on the idea of finding a
job while the student Is still In college.
"You are not supposed to be thinking
about a job while you are in college. You
are supposed to be thinking about enjoying college. Most parents don't understand the job of education and what it is
tor. College ls not a trade school. You
send a child to college so they can be
exposed to a wide variety of information
In a concentrated period of years. What
you will do with that Information, you
shouldn't even be thinking about. You
should just be acquiring information, absorbing it."
Anderson believes there should be no
rush for recently graduated people to
get Into the job market, saying that college students should take about two
years off to travel the world and learn
about themselves and what they have absorbed in school. During this period,
she says, the furthest thing from that
person's mind should be what they want
to do for a career. "There isn't anything
that makes me madder than to watch a
young person be Intimidated by misinformation and tyrannical forces and the
so-called experts that want to tell them
how to run their lives.
"You've got to see that all the materialistic things that you want — the car,
the fine clothes, the house — will all
come to you after you have done what
you love long enough anyway. The main
thing ls to protect your maneuverability
and your freedom to act. What traps so
many people is that they've got so many
bills and payments to make, they can't go
out and learn about the world. Don't fall
Into that trap. Choose the simple life and
success will come on its own."
Okay, you've followed your dream
and you know what you want to do.
Here are tome mistakes that college students usually make when venturing Into
the land of Jobs. Number one, says Anderson, is most people do not go high
enough In the organization they are interested In working for. "Most people
tend to go to the personnel department,
or they end up talking to people who
are struggling with themselves In their
own jobs," she says. "This Is why they
experience a lot of putdowns. I encour-

Guess which one will grow up
to be the engineer.
As things stand now, it doesn't take much of a guess.
Because by and large, he is encouraged to excel in math and
science. She isn't.
Whatever the reason for this discrepancy, the cost to society is
enormous because it affects women's career choices and limits the
contributions they might make.
Only 4% of all engineers are women.
Only 13.6% of all math and science Ph.D.'s are women.
And an encouraging, but still low, 31.3% of all professional
computer programmers are women.
In the past ten years, IBM has supported more than 90
programs designed to strengthen women's skills in these and
other areas. This support includes small grants for pre-college
programs in engineering, major grants for science programs
at leading women's colleges, and grants for doctoral fellowships in
physics, computer science, mathematics, chemistry, engineering,
and materials science.
We intend to continue supporting programs like these.
Because we all have a lot to gain with men and women on
equal footing. ===~^|f=°

Most mldls are designed after the

are better than one. If you want the best,
you need Dolby C (and all but the
cheapest components now have the better Dolby). Older Dolby B (or just plain
Dolby) insures compatibility with most
pre-recorded tapes and your portable or
car stereo.
Unless you're absolutely loyal to one
brand of tape, you'll need a tape or

choices for playback, four for recording
(alternately, two equalization settings
and two bias settings).
In phonographs, most considerations
are merely matters of styling. Although.

may look more high tech than oldfashioned pivoting or swinging arm designs, performance differences won't be
significant. However, the linear trackers
that act like clamshells, for instance the
Technics SL-J3, which lower their tone
arms only when you close the lid, may
be the best choice for your studying
room for another reason — they keep
the tone arm and cartridge out of harm's
way, preserving both your stylus and
your records throughout many a
weekend's revelry, wine, and beer.
More important is the choice of cartridge mounting. You'll likely have a
choice between P-mount, which is a nofuss system recently introduced by
Panasonic, and regular.
P-mount guarantees a match with any
P-mount cartridge. It has fewer things to
go wrong or be abused or misadjusted
— and that makes it a better choice for
your dorm room. The two top-selling
lines, Audio Technlca and Shure, have a
line of P-mount cartridges that come

If you get a radio, that's okay. Don't
worry about all the differences you're

you're better off worrying about turntable and tape quality.

(Continued from page 6)
and a couple of other roommates near
the USC campus—was easier than adapting herself to dorm life.
She disliked dorm living because she
was arbitrarily placed In a room with
three other girls. One became a friend,
but the other two were incompatible.
The experience with her boyfriend was
different.
"It takes a commitment, but it's not
like getting married. I wanted to move in
with this person. It didn't seem like such
a ma|or step, but more like just a part of
college life, because there were always
people around us."
Though she Is attracted to creative
people who have the same Interests as
she does — acting, writing, and the theater — she is clear-eyed about loving
someone In the arts.
"It's hard to keep going with someone
who's way up and way down. It takes a
lot of work and self-reliance to have a
relationship with an actor."
Yet, In some ways, it's easier, she says,
than with non-professionals.
"I either get Oh, my God! I saw you
In the movies,' which makes me blush
[and blush she did, at the embarrassing
recollection] — or a guy will meet me
and pretend it (her substantial fame]
doesn't exist."
The people she's closest to are those
she's met since coming to Los Angeles,
four years ago.
"One is a singer who's been through
everything with me. Another person I
16
February/March 1985. Ampersand
have a lot in common with is a young
man who acts, and who is a photographer and architect.... I know a lot of
people, but I have just a few close
friends."
Part of that selectivity may be attributed to the fact that she actively functioned in a sophisticated adult world in
New York, as she was growing up.
When she was 12, she danced with the
American Ballet Theater, and also wrote
her best-selling children's tale. The book
was an outgrowth of a story she happened to tell her mother, a literary
agent. Then she began writing features
for such publications as The New York
Times, The Village Voice and Ms. magazine.
Since then, Ally has been serious
about her writing and hopes to continue
penning short stories, poetry and novels
—In addition to acting.
Another element in Ally's early maturity Is quite likely due to her parents' divorce. She lived six months with her
father, an advertising executive, and six
months with her mother. After her parents split up, Ally was bitter for a while,
running scared and feeling It was best
not to need anyone. But her attitude
eventually changed.
"In my mind, my mother was a
pioneer. She was among a group of
feminists who built women's liberation.
She focused on her career and not on
needing a man. To tell you the truth,
that's as bad as telling a girl she can only
be a mother."
Leaving behind her parents' two
households and her younger sister and
brother, Ally came to Los Angeles at age
18 with two objects In mind — to further
her acting career and to attend USC.
Luck in finding the right agent was
with her from the start. Fiercely loyal,
Ally has continued with that same agent
— and public relations representative, as
well—since coming to Hollywood.
In such a fickle business, that's a real
rarity. She spent her first two years of
college balancing her studies with starring roles in television movies and
after-school specials.
Her first film was Bad Boys with Sean
Penn, and one of the professional experiences she's proudest of, to date, is having had the guts to go through the traumatic rape scene.
With WarCames she got her first real
exposure to fame—and it was a shocker.
The motion picture opened in June,
1983, when Ally was in Denver, doing
the lead in Mark MedofTs play, Majestic
Kid.
"From June through August, I didn't
know at all that it was that successful.
When I came back, it started to hit me. It
was hard to deal with. All of a sudden,
people seemed to know who I was. I
was taken aback... It was hard for me to
assimilate.
"Most people think that that period
should have been most exciting, but to
me it was most painful. My relationships
started changing. At first, I started to pretend it didn't happen. Then, I started cry-
ing : .ot. It seemed like my friends and
peers were either very attracted or completely repelled by it.
"I couldn't let myself be too swayed
one way or another. I had to let It happen, [but it's] frightening when something big happens and you don't know
what the new way will be."
Today, Ally has learned to handle
celebrity status with some aplomb. Admitting to being a homebody who enjoys
reading, cooking, long walks on the
beach by herself, Ally rarely goes to Hollywood parties or screenings. "When I
go, It's a major effort on my part," she
laughs.
Because her appearance has changed
since WarCames, with her new short
haircut, Ally can still walk around without being constantly recognized.
She says she's not mobbed the way
her friends Rob Lowe and Demi Moore
are.
"Sometimes I am recognized, and
people will come up to me and say
something like 'Thank you for your performance.'
I think there's something approachable about me, yet a lot of times people have a certain amount of respect
for privacy."
That privacy may greatly diminish, as
her new films open. The Breakfast Club
is an ensemble piece, set in an uppermiddle-class suburban high school library serving as a detention room. In it,
Ally plays Allison Reynolds — a seemingly disturbed, painfully withdrawn girl,
who spends nine very intimate hours
with Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael
Hall, Judd Nelson and Molly Ringwald.
Ally says that what was most difficult
about this film was that it all takes place
in one day. That meant wearing the same
clothes and spending eight weeks on
camera with the same five people.
By one of those quirks of acting fate,
Ally Is now back working with Nelson
and Estevez In St Elmo's Fire. Now filming In Washington, D.C., the story centers
on college friends who graduate from
Georgetown University and who are
now in their "freshman year" of life.
Ally's other soon-to-be-released film is
Twice in a Life Time. In this contemporary drama, she plays Helen Mackenzie,
youngest daughter of Gene Hackman
and Ellen Burstyn, a couple who seek a
divorce, after 28 years of marriage.
Though it's the screen that has given
her greatest recognition, Ally is proudest
of her acting In two other media — the
stage and on radio.
"Working through my limitations In
Majestic Kid, when WarCames came out
was one challenge. Another was Burled
Child, a play I did at USC. Ever since I
was a freshman, I wanted to be on the
main stage at USC. Playing to my peers
was very Important."
For a young adult of the 80's, radio
seems a strange, almost ancient medium
for triumph; yet Ally waxes positively lyr(Continued on page 19)

ical about playing Jo In Utile Women,
heard recently on National Public Radio.
In fact, she noted enthusiastically that
this Interview was the only time she had
been asked about that piece of work.
"In Little Women. I had to age from 16
to 35. Between one ^Isode and another,
10 years were supposed to elapse, so I
had to put 10 years of experience into
my voice.
"Your voice comes from a completely
different place. Sometimes, standing in
front of the microphones, I would close
my eyes and imagine the scene. For a listener to use Imagination Is one thing,
but for an actress, you get to create
everything."
Professionally, one of her major disappointments was Oxford Blues. She
went to England, to play the part of a
coxswain, and was on the river dally
at 6 am.
As she explains, "The opportunity and
challenge of jumping Into a boat with
eight British rowers and coaxing them
up and down a river was |ust too great
for me to pass up. I love the fact that as a
female and an American the odds were
really against me."
Obviously, they were against the film
as well. Opening briefly, it closed even
faster, and Ally will say only, "It didn't
work."
Though her priorities are In acting today, Ally Is committed to continuing her
education. If she were to go to school
full-time, she'd need about another 1-1/2
years of credits for graduation. But It's a
much slower process, going part-time.
She loves her acting classes and dancing;
and just tolerates the academics.
Ally believes that acting Is a craft best
learned from those with years of experience, and considers Katherlne Hepburn
her ultimate role model.
"My mother always said, 'Don't be afraid to say you learned from another
person; you learn from everything
around you,'" Ally says.
Surveying her future, Ally says, "When
you grow up, you're doing what your
parents tell you. When you turn 18 and
go to college you get a groundwork to
make decisions. The real thing comes
when you leave, and this first year after
going to college full time, I feel like I'm
putting my education in living to use.
"I feel like everything has gotten
much simpler. Coming out here I hail a
million choices to make — taking
courses; meeting friends . . . and everything was in the air. But over the past
few years, as time goes by, I've had more
selective needs,"
To Ally, those needs Include more

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Colleges have become supermarkets
in which students are shoppers and professors peddle learning, and where the
bachelor's degree isn't worth much
anymore.
That "is the verdict a panel of scholars
rendered Sunday in a major critique of
America's colleges and universities.
"As for what passes as a collee curriculum, almost anything does," said the
report released by the Association of
American Colleges. "We have reached a
point at which we are more confident
about the length of a college education
than its content and purpose,"
The 18-member task force blamed professors who place a higher premium on
research and their own advancement than
on teaching. It also said that relaxed entrance requirements had contributed "to
the confusions that beset" campuses.,
"The curriculum has given way. to a
marketplace philosophy: it is a supermarket where students are shoppers and
professors are merchants of learning. Fads
and fashions...enter where wisdom and experience should prevail,'' said the report,
titled " I n t e g r i t y in t h e College
Curriculum.''
"Teaching comes first," the educators
declared. "This message must be forceful-
The panel blamed the lessening worth ot a bachelor's degree on professors more
concerned with their own advancement than teaching.
ly delivered by academic leaders responsible for undergraduate education to the
research universities that have awarded the
Ph.D. degree to generation after generation of potential professors professionally
unprepared to teach.'*
"Unless the reward system in higher
education measures teaching performance
as well as research, all efforts to improve
college teaching will be to no avail," it
said.
The Association of American Colleges,
which. represents 560 public and private
research universities, liberal arts colleges
and others with an interest in curriculum
issues based the report on a three-year
analysis of college curriculums around the
country.
The document, prepared by a panel of
18' educators, called on colleges and
universities to change doctoral courses to
offer training in teaching as well as in
academic content.
The project was to redefine the meaning
and purpose of Baccalaureate Degrees. It
is the latest in a series of national reports
questioning undergraduate education in
the country's 3,000 colleges and
universities.
The report comes on the heels of two
college critiques released last fall: the National Institute of Education's "Involvement in Learning" and William J. Bennett's "To Reclaim a Legacy." Both
decried the tendency for college students to
take narrow, vocational courses.
The wave of reports coincides with a
period of national concern over the quality
of elementary and secondary schools. In
the past two to three years many states
have stiffened requirements for high
school graduation as well as enacted such
policies as merit pay plans for teachers.
The report said that improvement of
education at the elementary and high

Visitor jailed after attempted theft
By Pam Schusterman
STAFF WRITBK
The attempted robbery of over $250 worth of
jewelry from a State Quad dorm room last Saturday night has landed a weekend visitor in an
Albany jail.
The suspect, Darren Smith, of New York City,
who was visiting a friend on Colonial Quad, is
being held for $5,000 ball and faces grand larceny
charges for the robbery of four rings, said a
Public Safety official who requested that his
name be withheld.
•
The victim, Renee Sfcgel, a sophomore who
lives in Melville Hall, said she had never seen the
suspect before the night'of the robbety.
"He was a friend of a (riend of my suitemate,".
said Siegel, "and neither of us had ever met or
seen him before Saturday night."
According to Siegel, tBey had come over to say
hello before going to the State Quad Flagroom
Party. When they first, came In, said Siegel,
Smith, who was already* Intoxicated, asked if he
could go Into the room to turn the music louder.
"Before I could answer he was already in my
room," she said,
"He looked very suspicious and from right
then I knew he was Up to something." Siegel
said.
Smith then entered the room a second time and
remained a while longer, again under the
pretense of Increasing the volume of the rnwic,
Siegel explained.
"By this time I knew he had taken something
and I just wanted to confirm my beliefs," she
said, "and when he came out it was written all
over his face."
After Smith left the room Siegel went into her
room to see if the rings were still there, said
Gregory Ritucci-Chinni, the R.A. on duty, and
discovered the four rings were missing.
"I checked the room briefly and then confronted him immediately," Siegel said. "I knew
he had them," she. added.
Siegel said that when she confronted him he
responded with denial and guilt saying, "You
have to be kidding me, you can't be serious."
Siegel said she then asked hint to empty his
pockets and would not let him out of the room
until he did so.
Siegel explained that while she was in the
room, her suitemate Jean Tobln called the R.A.
on duty. The dorm director and University Police
were also called,
The four rings were returned, said Siegel, but
UPD officers suggested that she press charges.
"At first I wasn't sure if (his was the right
thing to do, but I knew he came here with the intent of stealing," she said, adding, "I agreed
because I thought it was the right thing to do."
At the present time, according to the UPD officer, Smith is being held in the Albany Police
Lockup and has entered a plea of innocent.

"The faculty and students of today make the decisions of tomorrow. Students that work on these
computers will influence their
future employers to buy them,"
he said.
"Traditionally, faculty and
students are underfunded. To
help them out we offer lower
prices. It also relieves the load on
the {main frame if computations
are made at home and the main
frame is used to facilitate communication," said Rogowski.
"We're filling a need that was
neither recognized nor filled
before. We're here for everyone.
We offer the best, most desireable
products," said Rogowski.
University Micros store does
not keep stock, said Rogowski,
but rather places orders only.
Delivery is then made to the
student.
Hooking new computers to the
main frame will be easier with the
new phone system currently being
installed at the University. The
system will be able to carry data
as well as voice signals, said
Rogowski, enabling microcomputers to be linked to the University's Sperry main frame on campus as well as to other computers.
University Micros effect on
area retailers is not yet known,
but according to Computer Age
Magazine, the University of Illinois Bookstore was named in a
lawsuit filed by four area
retailers. The retailers were forced
to close because of competition
from the bookstore, which had
access to low offers not made
