It didn't seem to matter that there were so many,
people in Ltcture Center two that they had to sit on
the' floorj the 350. students who had traveled to
Albany, from Buffalo and Stony Brook and the
many points in between were still enjoying
themselves and their togetherness.
Trie scene was the annual Spring Conference of
the New York :Publjc interest Research Group
(NYPIRO), a statewide consumer and environmental lobby group, funded and governed by college
students, and the largest organization of its kind in
the state.
"The theme of this conference is Student Activisim in 198S: A New Committment, it could not
be more timely. In the seven years I have worked
for NYPIRO, I can't think of a period with a more
desperate need for students to work for social
change," began Program Director Gene Russianoff
in his speech Saturday morning at the conference's
opening.
The policies of both the Reagan administration in
Washington and New York Governor Mario
Cuomo were attacked and debated at the various
events held in the LC's.
Russianoff referred to a recent meeting between
the president and his cabinet officials, saying, "He
(Reagan), told them he was determined to win his
program in his second administration. He said he
wanted them to 'Shake, Rattle, and Roll.' "
"Now isn't that a classic?" Russianoff asked the
audience. "There he goes again'stealing metaphors
— like FDR and the New Deal — that have zero to
do with who he Is and what he represents."
" 'Shake, Rattle and Roll,' as if he were the
apostle of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll," scoffed
Russianoff.
"Here in Albany," Russianoff continued, "we
have an administration that's been great on rhetoric
and short on results. It's not enough to talk about
the homeless, and the need to clean up hazardous
waste."
Russianorf recalled a NYPIRO victory that happened about the time he had Joined the organization. New York had just passed the Truth-InTesting Law requiring that answers of standardized
tests be given to people who took the test)
"Every time some imart-assed high school student finds an incorrect SAT question and gets

One of NYPlRG's greatest assets, he stated, was
the people involved. "We have each other. We area
community of activists. Social change can be slow
and frustrating, we all make mistakes and
sometimes it can be painful. But it is also rewarding
and it is unbelievable fun."
"In 1985, students must renew their committment to take on the bums and villains and power
brokers who would grant tax abatements to the rich
while abandoning the homeless, who would shut
the victims of toxic substances put of court, whp^
would continue to allow our Water and air to be"
poisoned in the name of progress without reason,"
Russianoff declared. .
. "We talk, about being non-partisan; that's not.
just a phrase, that's not a convenient expression,"
said NYPIRO Executive' Director Tom Wathen,
who spoke at a later session Of the conference.
NYPIRO works to empower citizens, he said, by
working on voter registration reform and the
Freedom of Information Act among other,
measures, because, "in many cases they (political
parties) have failed" to address these issues.
Non-partisanship means one other thing, Wathen
said, referring to former Vice Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro's commercial for PepsiCola and former Senate Majority Leader Howard
Baker's endorsement of USA Today. "It means not
getting trapped into what is trendy."
Paraphrasing a magazine ad, Wathen said
NYPIRO members are people who are concerned
about today's society, willing to work to make
tomorrow better, and realistic enough to know that
things won't change overnight. "If the'answer to
that is yes, then you're an A-person, an activist,"
.he told the cheering audience.
"I'd say this is one of the best conferences that
I've ever been to, the level of excitement and the
level of learning were both very high," said Project
Coordinator at SUNYA-Efrem Kami.
"Most people," he added, ''came away from the
conference with a renewed committment for the
work that they're doing on their campuses and a
sense of shared effort."
"One of the most moving events was the Public
Citizens Award which is given yearly by NYPIRO,"
Km 111 said.

Corp6rate recruiters seeking
liberal arts majors' versatility
By Carrie E. Diamond
First of a two-part series
Liberal Arts majors may not
have the corporate persona many
business majors strive for, but
that doesn't necessarily make
them any less likely to receive job
offers from company recruiters
who visit the University.
For the national
view on this Issue
see page six
According to many professors
and career counselors, there are
many other areas of study that
can well prepare a person for a
career in business. They say that a
liberal arts education,, while
scorned by some, is becoming
recognized as an invaluable step
towards a successful future,
especially in the business fields.
"A liberal arts graduate can be
very successful. They have
developed good interpersonal
communication skills, and have
been exposed to a broader range
of disciplines, philosophies, and
ideas which will help them
become more adaptable in a
changing world," said Oardy Van
Soest, director of the Career
Planning and Placement Center.
He added that "Many companies
are cognizant of this fact."
By concentrating on a specific
discipline, and paying little attention to more people-related subjects, business majors often have
a narrow scope of experience,
said Van Soest.
Paul Wallace, Acting Dean of
Humanities, agreed, saying,
"Business majors have narrowed
themselves to such a degree, that
frankly, they have become
uninteresting."
Business, according to Wallace,
is essentially a field requiring a
basic knowledge of people, which
a business oriented education
alone does not provide. "A
liberal arts education gives a person a sensitive understanding to
other people and cultures, a view
that is larger than their own
careers. Essentially it creates a
person with a better understanding of morals and ethics, who
would make a better society. The
kind of person who would think

Soviet Union, the latest sign of increasing
contacts between the estranged communist

Following two weeks of negotiation with

(AP) New York has 978 inactive hazardous

the state's Superfund that was designed to
pay for the cleanup is far short of the projected costs.

that the state Superfund is broke, and not

University choir ushers in World Week's many events
World Weak was kicked off Monday afternoon In the campus center with a ceremony which Included speeches from University officials and singing.
The events planned are attempting to help the SUNYA community "celebrate our diversity," said
World Week co-chair Japhet Zwana, from the University's Affirmative Action Office.
The annual event, which Is being held for Its fourth consecutive year, is sponsored by the office of
the University President, but has Traditionally been organized by the Student Affairs division. .
The University Choir opened the week's events with a performance in the Campus Center Monday.
President Vincent O'Lesry wss present to address the crowd and make his opening remarks.
The most visible event of World Week is the Ethnic Block Party which will be held Tuesday from
12-4 p.m. in the Lecture Centers. The Block Party will feature displays from various ethnic groups on

First year and transfer
students hoping to gain admission to SUNYA's Business
School this fall will need to
have a slightly higher Adjusted
Grade Point Average (AGPA)
according to Business School
Dean Harvey Kahalas.
The change is a result of an
enrollment quota set by
University President Vincent
O'Leary. "To keep enrollment
in the Business School at the
level it should be, we had to
have this slight alteration,"
Kahalas said.
At the present lime, the
AGPA for Business School applicants is a 3.038 for students
who have taken all their core
classes at SUNYA and a 3.163,
3.347, or a 3.408 for transfer
students, depending on how
many core classes they have
taken al SUNYA.
These figures have been raised for Fall '85 applicants to a
3.055 for students who took all
core courses at SUNYA and a
3.3, 3.4, or 3.5 for Iransfer
students.
Kahalas explained lhat the
quota for Business School majors is 800 students and for the
past several years ihey have
been admitting up to 880
students. "To keep the quality
of the school, we must limit
enrollment," he said.
Leonard Lapinski, Associate
Dean of Undergraduate
Studies, explained that the
AGPA is a "sliding thing" that
changes with the number, of applicants. He said, "the AGPA
can change from semester to
semester according lo the
quota."
The quota for the Business
School varies according to funding, and according to
Kahalas, money is an indirect
cause for the raising of the
AGPA. "If we could get additional funding we could hire
more staff and accept more
students," he said.
However according to Coordinator of Advisement Services
and Assistant Dean of CUE,
Dick Collier, "the slight raise
will not have much of an effect
on the students." He explained
that students with straight B
averages never got into the
Business School in the past. He
added, "Iransfer students only
make up a small percentage of
the population so t heir increase
will not have a big effect on
them either."
Collier also explained that
students could reapply in the
spring if they missed the AGPA
by a small amount.

NY legislators seek South African divestment
By James Thomas
The end of public funds being invested
in South Africa, long a priority for the
Student Association of the State University (SASU), may soon become reality ii
three bills recently introduced into the
legisture become law.
Two of the bills have been introduced in
the Assembly by Deputy Speaker Arthur
Eve (D, Buffalo) and Assembly member
Herman Farrell (D, NTC), while the third
bill has been sponsored in the Senate by
Leon Bogues (D, NYC), according to Jerry
Lee, Counsel to Eve.
Pulling investments of companies that
do business in South Africa, commonly
known as divestiture, is a tactic advocated
| by many people to bring an end to that
• country's political system of apartheid.
Four and a half million whites control
almost the entire country's resources and
the lives of the 26 million blacks living in
South Africa, said Bojana Jordan, President of American-South African Peoples'
Friendship' Association during SASU's
Legislative Conference in Albany last
week.
"Blacks may not hold national offices
or choose their education,' in South
Africa, Jordan stated.
Eve, commenting on the apartheid
policy of South Africa, said, "the quicker
we deal with it the less likely we'll have
massive violence" In the country."
The bills, if passed, will restrict the
deposit of certain pension fund moneys in
banking organizations which lead money
to the Republic of South Africa, and will
also prohibit the investment of common
i Retirement Pension Funds In the stocks or
securities of companies or corporations
doing business in or with the Republic of
South Africa.
Their object Is lo refocus state investment practices such that moral leadership
will result and (he investment shift will
foster New York State economic development, wilh each bill working toward Its
particular goal according lo a New York
State Assembly Memorandum.
"I'm thrilled with the fact that they're
dealing with the issue," said SASU President Sue Wray, ' 'SASU has been a part of
divestment for six years."
According to Wray, there are three
SUNY groups dealing with devestment in
South Africa: SASU, United University
Professions, and United Faculty Senate.
The Issue will be studied by these groups
and recommendations will be referred lo,
''I'm thrilled with the
fact that they're
dealing with the
issue.
the bills will go to the floor of the
Assembly during that week.'
When asked what he feels the chances of
each bill or all the bills being passed, he
replied, "support in the assembly is good
(but support in the) senate is fair."
Assemblyman, Richard J. Connors (DAlbany), when questioned about his view
on divestment, replied, "I'm for it."
Andrew Chin, a SASU intern, said
"students across the country are recognizing the struggles of the black people in
South Africa," adding, "SASU feels that
it's time for SUNY to divest." According
to Chin, April 16 will be a SASU statewide
lobby day when SUNY schools and other
interest groups will come to Albany to lobby for divestiture from South Africa.
Eric Bowman, Student Association
Minority Affairs Coordinator, said "it's a
shame that (the) SUNY system is using
students' and tax payers' money to oppress
the black people." Jordan commented,

the SUNY Board of Trustees on April 24.
"If SUNY divests, it's plating pressure
on (the rest of) New York State," said
Wray, adding that "students educating
other students is what is important in dealing with this problem. We do not support
the (South African) oppression," she
asserted.
SUNY Chancellor Cliftp.n Wharton supports a complete pullout of U.S. corporation funds from South Africa, according
to Eveline MacDougall, SASU Communications Director.
According to a SASU report on South
Africa, SUNY has 15 million invested in
companies which have dealings in South
Africa.
But, although Wharton supports the
pullout, "I don't think he'll play a large
role in the decision of the Board of
Trustees," said Wray. "1 think he'll just
lay back and go with whatever the Board
decides," she added.
According to Lee, March 19 will be

organizations will be lobbying against

Feminist Alliance is reborn with
more clearly defined objectives
CHRIS ORSINI UPS
Anil-porn rally earlier this semester
. "Pornography can either be blatant or subtle,'
By Pam Conway
After a period of disorganization, the Feminist
Alliance (FA) has regrouped and strengthened itself
in an. effort to more effectively address issues of
concern to women at SUNYA.
According to FA co-chairs Maris Delmonaco and
Judy Williams, the organization had previously suffered setbacks because of internal fragmentation
and a lack of a clear set of goals, which left FA
unable to fully serve the needs of women and
feminists on campus.
Under the direction of Delmonaco and Williams,
an effort is now underway to strengthen the group
and FA members plan to address issues currently of
importance to all members of the SUNYA community. Said Williams, "The basic goal of FA is to
get all different types of feminists in a coalition to
deal with issues such as sexism, racism, antisemitism, classism, and homophobia."
The FA co-chairs also stated that they are
presently trying to attract various feminist interest
groups in order to create a more diverse and effective organization. To accomplish this, FA has joined forces with other on-campus groups with similar
goals.
One such group is the Coalition Against Pornography (CAP), which works on the issue of pornography and its exploitation of women. According
to CAP'S co-chair Ken Dornbaum, CAP'S main
goal is to "educate SUNY students about the
adverse effects of pornography."
Dornbaum said that CAP is now working as a
subcommittee of FA in order to more effectively
combat pornography and, although CAP is still an
independent organization, they are operating with

Bombs were flying across the
Sayles Ballroom downtown last
Wedesday night. The battlefield
was "Arms Negotiations and the
Arms Race" and the bombs were
the viewpoints of the six members
participating in the panel
discussion.
The forum, which was organized as the RA project of Brandon
E. Fletcher, a senior in the
Rockefeller College Political
Science program, drew an audience of about 35 people.
In her opening statement,
Political Science professor, Dr.
Anne T. Sloan asserted, "Arms
control has been seen as a failure
because it has not met public ex-
pectations. Expectations have
been for a cutback. There hasn't
been that...The prospects for
amrs control are low, and the prospects for an arms race are on the
increase."
History professor, Dr. Richard
T. Kendall said, "I think we
should get out of the arms
race...I'm not worried about the
question of a piece of hardware or
new h a r d w a r e c o m i n g
along...The central point for me
is that we (the U.S. and the
USSR) have an inability to talk
our way out of our mutual problem. We've institutionalized
apocalyptic warfare."
Philip D'Elia, a former
SUNYA representative to the,
state board of the New York
Public Interest Research Group,
characterized the arms race as "a
game, with the time clock running
out." D'Elia says trie"U.S. and
the USSR arc both trying to "win
the race" but noted that "there is
little agreement on what the rules
are...The basic ground rules are
not agreed upon." D'Elia added
that until the U.S. and USSR
"agree on what the rules are, we
face a very uncertain future."

of Albany State College

Solution sought to graduation guessing game
By Patrick J. Paul
SUNYA seniors may no longer have to
guess whether or not they have enough
credits for graduation when a new computer service is put into operation, possibly
by May 1986.
Preliminary tests of the program called
ADAPT could take place this spring, according to Associate Dean for
Undergraduate Education Leonard
Lapinski.
A similar system of "technical advisement," as it was referred to by Bob Gibson, director of the Center for
Undergraduate Education, is already in
use at Tulane University in New Orleans.
Lapinski said the system's creator,
William Franzen, has been ' making
periodic visits to the University to determine what would be best for this campus.
The program would provide students,
Lapinski said, with a data sheet of specific
remaining degree requirements.
Research on this new program was actively started two years ago. Lapinski said,
in an effort to improve and update the current advisement system. It is an offshoot
of the Student Information and Records
System (SIRS), which is an attempt to centralize all student records under one program. Currently,' a student's academic
records are not stored in the same system
as their personal records and it is often a
time consuming process to locate specific
funds allotted from FA's budget.
In the past, CAP has attempted to fight pornography through protesting films shown on campus which it felt were explicit and exploitative of
women.
CAP has staged demonstrations against the
showing of The Opening of Misty Beethoven and is
also planning to protest the upcoming movie Body
Double.
In addition, according to Dornbaum, CAP is
working to have all pornographic materials removed from the bookstore and is bringing slide shows
from the group Women Against Pornography to
campus.
Williams asserted that "pornography can be
either blatant or subtle" and states that FA plans to
work against both.
'
Along with the issues of pornography and sexism, FA also plans to address the topics of female
sexuality and the needs of the lesbian community
and they are planning many events in the future to
address these and other topics.
In March, FA will sponsor a lecture and discussion by singer Karen Beth, and author Pam
McAllister will talk about her book Reweaving the
Web which deals with non-violence and feminism.
Also in March will be lectures on abortion by Bonnie Steinback and Carol Reichart, a community
organizer for family planning.
"Images of Women and Peace" will be presented
in April by Judith McDaniel, Barbara Smith and
Beth Brandt, and the issue of black women in the
civil rights movement will be addressed by graduate
student Colia Clark.

according to Assistant Vice President
for Facilities Dennis Stevens.
The first of three new "dishes"
located in the field behind the Education
Building will enable the Educational
Communications Center (ECC) to
receive 22 different programs from 18
separate satellites, according to Grant
Van Patten, who is in charge of the
technical aspects of the operation.
The second station, which is presently
located on top of the Campus Center,
will actually be a renovation of the present system said Van Patten. The dish
will be converted from a low-frequency
receiver to a higher frequency which will
allow more programs to be accessible,
he said. Once in service, there will be a
variety of educational, entertainment,
and sports programs available to the
public at large as well as the University
community, said Van Patten.
The two ECC dishes arc intended to
be used cheaply for tele-conferencing,
according to Charles ! aMall'a,
Technical Operations Supervisor for the
project. This icle-confcrence capacity
will allow groups or organizations to
hold conferences in conjunction with
national and regional organizations.
According to LaMalfa, the conferences will include two-way audio,
and one-way video communication.
SUNYA is a member of the National
University Tele-Conference Network
(WUTN), he said, which includes 70
universities nationwide.

The third station will be located next

Lance Bosart, will be to receivo information, sent via satellite, from/the National Weather Service. At present, the
Atmospheric Science Department obtains this information by means of
telephone cables, but, said Bosart,
because of increases of $300 per month
in the cost of service, it was no longer
feasible to continue using the telephone
wires.
The cost of this "weather dish" is approximately $3,600, according to
Bosart, and will have a payback period
of about 18 months. He termed it
"mure economical," and added, "we

Because the system is still being

Women explore racism of each other's culture
By Beth Thompson
Black feminists and Jewish feminists expressed their views on each others cultures
Saturday during the Women Right History
bialogue held Saturday at the New York
State Museum.
About 50 people attended the Black
Feminist/Jewish Feminist Dialogue in an
effort to become aware of why these two
groups have not always understood each
other.
. "I will always say that I speak of one
black woman's experience, not of all black
women's or black people's...But I do
speak as a black woman. 1 give this voice
as my voice to this dialogue," stressed Betty Powell, a professor of education and
linguistics at Brooklyn College.
Powell spent her early childhood in
Miami, Florida. "In Miami there was very
much presence, an awareness of the
presence of Jews. For me, the awareness
came, first of all because my mama worked for Jews as a maid. Because she worked
for Jews and non-Jews, I did have a sense
of difference. Difference in the way she
talked about them with familiarity and
connectedness. She brought home books
along with old clothes and left-over food."
"There was always a type of molding
that would creep in our sense of differentness and in Miami there used to be signs on
Miami Beach that said 'No dogs or Jews
allowed.' " Powell said she grew to have
an even greater sense, of connectedness
with Jews when she became aware of both
groups' struggle for liberation, but she
also described a coexisting feeling of
alienation in the sense that Jews were still
whites. There was a kind of materialistic
distinction according to Powell.
Her experience with racial prejudice also
extends back to the portion of her life she
spent in Germany around World War II.
Few black people were there during that
time, she said and people would come up
to her and rub her skin saying "Schwarze,
schwarze" and look behind Powell to find
her tail, because- Hitler had taught them
that black people were monkeys.
judices in society are learned, and that
people must be aware of them and learn to
deal with them. "To simply talk about
racism doesn't mean that we are nonracist," said Bulkin. Powell agreed, saying
"We have to own up to our racism" and
none of us are exempt from the absorption
of the racism of our culture.

Frosh going back to basics with remedial courses
New 'dishes' bring varied programs
By J.C. Hayden
5
(CPS) More and more college freshmen
are enrolling in remedial education courses
designed to teach them what they should
already know, according to a new report,
by the U.S. Department of Education.
One out of every four entering
freshmen, for instance, takes at least one
remedial mathematics class, according to
the survey of over 500 colleges and universities compiled by the department's National Center for Education Statistics.
More than one of every five students
also take remedial writing courses, the
study showed, while 16 percent take
reading review courses.
"It's just a sign of the times," said
Elaine El-Khawas, Vice President for
Policy Analysis and Research with the
American Council on Education. "It's a
very disturbing reality that so many
students are not adequately prepared for
college," she added, attributing the problem to "a decade of loose high school
graduation standards."
And It's getting worse. Among the 500
institutions surveyed, nearly two-thirds offer more remedial courses now than they
did in 1078. One-third of the schools offer
the same number of remedial courses as six
years ago, while only four percent have cut
the number of review courses they provide.
The report suggested that many four-

Although two-year schools are offering
more remedial courses, the majority of
four-year colleges have increased their
remedial course offerings as well.
Public colleges have the highest number
of entering students in so-called catch-up
courses, the study showed.
Private school students, on the other
hand, took the fewest number of catch-up
classes. Only 15 percent took remedial
classes in math, 12 percent in writing, and
nine percent in reading.
Addressing long-standing concerns by
some educators that the nation's high
schools are not adequately preparing
students for college, the report cautioned
the increased popularity in remedial
courses could aslo be linked to lower college entrance requirements and tougher
courses in general.
Regardless of the problem's cause, "it's

Liberal arts grads market skills for small firms
(College Press Service) When
Iowa State University senior
Jeannette Fielder recently walked
into a job interview with some
conservative bankers, she figured
she didn't have a chance. She
was, after all, an English major.
"I said 'Do you realize that I
haven'; had any finance classes?'
And they said 'No problem. We'll
train you,' " Fielder recalled.
"They all said they wished they
had been a liberal arts student."
"They felt their perspective was
so narrow. I was tickled."
Fiedler, who will go to work for
the bank after graduation this
spring, was, in fact, interviewed
by about 10 corporations.
Though her case may not be
typical, college placement officials across the country report
that the number of firms looking
to hire liberal arts grads is up
substantially over last year.
"Even major corporations are
now giving an increasingly sincere
look at liberal arts graduates,"
reports Victor Lindquist, who
directs Northwestern University's
career placement center and is the
author of an annual report tracking job offers nationwide.
Lindquist says the increasing
interest in liberal arts graduates is
part of a trend that began in
about 1980.
Liberal arts grads "tend to
have marketable communication
skills, both written and oral,
' analytical tools, and tend to be
more trainable," he explains.
Small businesses are also hiring
more this year, and are more
receptive to liberal arts grads than
to grads with technical or
specialized degrees, who demand
higher salaries.
"It's hard for a liberal arts
graduate to convince a major corporation that he or- she has
valuable skills," Judith Kayser of
the College Placement Council
says.
"But with a mom and pop
operation, it's easier to get the
time to sell yourself."
If the trend in favor of liberal
arts grads is reaching new highs, it
could mean the end of what some
administrators have dubbed the
"taxi-driver syndrome:" the spectre of bright, pverqualified
humanities graduates who drive
taxis while waiting for "meani n g f u l ' j o b s t h a t never
materialize.
But others say the increase in
job offers for' liberal arts
graduates is no larger than for
graduates in other disciplines.
"I'd like to believe that
employers have come around to
the advantages of liberal arts
graduates," says Gary McGrath,
the career development director
for liberal arts majors at the
University of Minnesota. "But
that's not the case."
McGrath says an improved
economy is the reason more
employers are interested in liberal
arts grads.
"When the economy improves,
employers are willing to look at a
more diverse group of applicants," he says.
The College Placement Council's annual survey of major corporations indicates business executives plan to hire eight percent
more grads this year than last.
Other surveys, however, sug- •
gest that liberal arts majors will
not benefit from that increase.
In fact, both Lindquist's survey
and a similar study by Michigan
State University placement director Jack Shingleton, show the
number of job offers to liberal
arts grads will decline slightly this
year.
The surveys, however, focus on
large firms' recruitment plans and
may not reflect interest by small
firms in liberal arts majors.
Stanford liberal arts grads
began doing better in the job
market in 1980, despite surveys
showing a general pall in student
job prospects at the time.
One hundred sixteen firms interviewed liberal arts majors that
year, compared to only 11 four
years earlier.
Similar increases were reported
at other schools.
The proliferation of pracitcal
courses in liberal arts curricula,
and an increasing realization that
the technical skills required in
business can be taught on the job
helped liberal arts grads, career
placement officials say.
However, many liberal aits majors are still said to suffer in the
job market because of a fixation
on one subject.
"To deny the existence of
business courses and become
ostrich-like is to be myopic to the
point of being insufferable," Lindquist warns.
"The liberal arts graduate
should have experience with
almost any activity.""

for the world, instead of their
own careers," he said.
Donald Hester, director of the
Graduate Academic Services of
the Business School admitted that
there is some validity in that argument. He said he considers the
ideal education to include an
undergraduate degree in liberal
arts, with a Masters of Business
Administration (MBA).
Acknowledging that "Clearly
the work place is changing. To be
able to cope with these changes,
people will need to be well
grounded in liberal arts, increasing their ability to communicate,
encourage, reprimand, etcetera."
He said he firmly believes that "It
is ridiculous to think that someone can operate in the business
world without an education in
Accounting and Economics.
Wallace considers a technical
education not very important, he
mentioned that "People in
business that we've had contact
with, indicate that they would
much prefer to have someone
with the basic skills of literacy,
writing and understanding. They
are perfectly willing to train in
their own specific way."
"People have to do a lot on their
own...Major companies are looking for people with different
backgrounds. They're more.in-
''Major companies are looking for
people with different backgrounds."
—Gardy Van Soest
Van Soest agreed with Hester in
that certain fields of business require more specialized
knowledge. He said that, "It
depends on the company, and the
kind of position. There are some
positions such as management
and sales, that don't need a
technical background, in which
liberal arts graduates can be very
successful, there are also some
positions, however, that require a
more detailed business knowhow."
Basically, Van Soest said,
terested in personalities of people
than their majors."
Companies seem to be agreeing
with Wallace. In. a survey in
Dorm Magazine's Spring '85
issue, several corporations have
found the most valued employees
are those with liberal arts
educations.
Both AT&T and Chase
Manhattan Bank, N.A., were
quoted in the survey, with Chase
reporting that 60 percent of their
most unsuccessful managers held

Myth: The offender is usually a

Fact: Jo Ann C. Beasley's 1984
article entitled, "Basic Facts of
Child Sexual Abuse" tells us that
in 85 percent of the cases of
reported abuse, the offender is someone the child knows and trusts,
such as a father, uncle, babysitter, or neighbor!. '.
Myth: Physical force almost
always accompanies the sexual
abuse.
Fact: While physical force is
sometimes a factor, the majority
of incidents involve the emotional
coercion of the child. Because the
offender is someone the child
knows and trusts, it is easy for the
adult to twist the child's naive
need for love and affection. This
is often done with threats, bribes,
or tricks.
Myth: Sexual abuse involves intercourse and happens only once.
Fact: Sexual contact is accomplished in a variety of ways.
Often, because of the proximity
of the offender and the power of
his position of trust over the
child, the abuse extends over a
long period of time.
Myth: Children lie,, fantasize, or
provoke the abuse.
Fact: This myth is perhaps the
most damaging to the victim of
child sexual abuse. The trauma of
not being believed, and/or being
held responsible for the abusive
treatment is often permanently
damaging. The Albany Rape
Crisis Center stresses, "Children
do not invent stories about their
own abuse. The offender is
always responsible for his actions.
Child sexual abuse is never the
victim's fault."
There are some other facts
regarding child sexual abuse. The
overwhelming majority of the offenders are male. (Estimates
range from 90-97 percent.) The
majority of offenses are
heterosexual in nature, and the
average age of the victim is
eleven. These facts are frightening
and the extent of the abuse must
be acknowledged before the problem can be confronted.
It is due to the dedicated work
of concerned groups and agencies
that the victims of child sexual
abuse are finally being encouraged in open and healthy ways to
confront what has happened to
them. The Capital District
Psychiatric Center is holding a
conference on child sexual abuse
on March 6th and 7th. The
workshops will range from emotional affects to legal measures.
This conference, and other programs like it, are designed to inform the public of the problem
and to provide preventative

Community service to remain intact
By Doreen Clark
Although the retirement of SUNYA's Communi-1
ty Service Director Hedi McKinley may be an
unwelcome change to those who work with her, no
changes in the program are foreseen after she
leaves.
McKinley has headed the program in a part-time
position since its introduction by students in 1969.
Located near the uptown Rockefeller College
contact office, the program supplies an average of
one thousand students to almost 280 agencies in the
Albany area, according to McKinley. Students
volunteer a minimum of 84 hours during the
semester and receive three course credits, she
explained.
McKinley's retirement is not expected to produce
any changes in the way the program is run. "I
would hope that there would be no changes whatsoever," she asserted, "since the program is doing
exactly what it is supposed to do — provide
service."
Because of the strong demand for the program in
the community and University and student support,
McKinley said she was "sure the program would
continue." The only change McKinley would like to
see in the program would be to make the course a
requirement for graduation. She said she feels it is
an invaluable service to the community, the
students, and SUNYA.
Stuart Kirk, dean of the School of Social
Welfare, said that a committee has recently been
formed to review the program and possibly suggest
candidates for McKinley's position. The committee
Includes people from the School of Social Welfare,
Graduate School of Public Affairs (GSPA), and
Undergraduate Education. Their review should be
presented about midway through the semester, said
Kirk.
According to McKinley, SUNY Albany is the only school that offers a program such as Community
Services and the only cost the program generates is
her salary. Students may work for agencies ranging
from the New York State Division for Historic
Preservation to the Girl Scouts of America.
Students participating in the program regard it
highly. "It has taken the student out of the

The Department of Puerto Rican, Latin

"We had over 250 attending during the two day
conference," said Edna Acosta-Belen, chair of the
Department of Puerto Rican, Latin American and
Caribbean Studies, adding that "the response we've
received from participants has been nothing but
positive."
Acosta-Belen said the success of the conference
was probably due to the increased time for publicity
as well as an Increased population of Hispanics in

display of solidarity and a pledge to work for
By Patrick J. Paul
Vestiges of a 3,000 year old city
on Cyprus, which is probably
evidence of the first trade link
between Athens and the Mediterranean island, have been
discovered by a university
Classics professor.
According to Paul Wallace,
who made the discovery after a
month of intensive surveying and
excavation fast summer, the find
will help to more precisely determine when the mainland Greeks
first came to the island bringing
their language, technology, myths
and culture in return for copper.
Wallace described his work as,
"An attempt to reconstruct
aspects of earlier cultures by examining the physical remains."
This Bronze Age revelation, according to Wallace, is the most
significant of the 10 to IS towns,
which he has discovered in over'
two decades of exploration in the
Mediterranean basin.
Marion, a site from the late
Bronze Age which covers the
period from 1400 to 1100 B.C.,
eventually transformed into the
center of classical art for Cyprus,
said Wallace. This area in northwest Cyprus has generated
some of the most aesthetic
classical art of its kind, including
the best rcd-and-black-figured
pottery, he asserted. Because art
is the only real substance that can
be, salvaged from the site, he
classified the discovery as a
"scholarly contribution,"

about the culture of that time

Outta the garage
he Vipers, New York City's "Diving"
Cave Stampers, gave Albany a touch
of their sting Friday, March 1st, at
Puttin' on. the Ritz, and their bite was
melodically infectious.
T
Michelle J. Krell
Garage pop has come back from the
dead of late, and The Vipers are a major
force in New York City along with The
Fleshtones, Fuzztones, Raunch Hands, and
Tryfles. Besides The Dive, The Vipers have
done gigs at Irving Plaza, The Peppermint
Lounge, and The Ritz. The four-year-old
band isn't your typical paisley groovywow group. Bassist-vocalist Graham May
insists, "We're stylized in what we do.
We're not strictly a garage band in the
revival sense at all. We're just playing rockn-roll. All we want to do is spread the
word, cut loose, drink, and have fun."
"C'mon, let's rip up some rug!" shouts
vocalist Jon Weiss (ex-Fleshtones sax
player). He plays pattycake in the air as he
comes towards me with the kind of look
that I thought only Jack Nicholson had.
Sliding into Graham's chair, he raises an
eyebrow and says, "Got any questions?" If
I were five, 1 would probably ask for my
mother and plead bathroom privileges, bul
I'm 21 and cryptics don't feel like
boogiemen anymore. Before I can put my
pen down, Weiss throws his head back and
exclaims, "Influences? Yeahl Jimmy Breslin,
Charlie Bukowski, and Bob Chich (Chich is
their manager, a friendly, accomodating
"nice guy" who's trying to get the band on
a major label).
The Vipers' recently released debut LP
Outta The Nest is a collection of 12 tunes,
one of which is getting air play on our own
WCDB. Of the other 11 songs, two are
covers. The Standell's 'Medication" and
The Loved One's, "Surprise, Surprise"
aren't carbon copies of the originals. They
are marked by the distinct vocal harmonies
of May and Weiss.
The Vipers were well received at Puttin'
on the Ritz. Most of the audience couldn't
contain toe tapping to Nest tunes "Cheated
and Lied", 'Tears", and the yet unvinyled
Dive-stomp "Psycho". On stage the band
sported, happy antics. Weiss stomped,
stared, and smiled even when he cut his
left hand on the mike. Drummer Pat
Brown beat his drums with child-like glee
and wasn't the least bit disturbed when one
of his drums slipped out of place.
"He found himself transformed into a large cockroach..."
All-around musician Dave Mann
(Keyboards, 12-string guitar, harmonica,
and "a little singing") like May, insists that
The Vipers aren't trying to revive anybody
else's music. With a Lou Reed grin (the
resemblance is there) he proclaims, "We
aren't a revival band. It's not our scene. We
do what we do because we love it." On
stage, Mann switched off to different instruments periodically with ease, even
when his voice organ gave opt in the first
set.
Guitarist Paul Martin, the only married
member of the group, shied away from inquires, but had this to sign on my copy of
C Ma The Nest LP: "Rock to the Dock and
Float to the Clock," (profound). While performing, he maintains an impish stance.
Like a car in neutral, he seems to let go of
his enthusiasm, but not quite all of it.
For all of you Viper fans out there, here
is some fanzy news. Weiss revealed that a
new LP with "12 bone crunching originals
will be out in about five months." The title? Well, well, you devoted cave
stompers, it's right' under your nose. Check
out the violet print on the back of the Nest
LP. In Our Own Time baby, that's the
scene.
Garage pop, paisley underground,

people. It's always been there. It's rock-nroll period," says May. The paisley of the
80"s is not the paisley of the 60's so re-stock
your ties, folks. In the words of Jon Weiss,
"Why worry about the stale of the union
when I can't get dressed in the morning
and need help in tying my shoes when I'm
wearing my boots?'

More mini music reviews
THE SMITHS
The Smiths
Meat Is Murder
The second domestic release from one ol
the best up and coming British bands in today's "new music" scene. The Smiths prove
their point with a distinct sound combining
the acoustic guitar style of Aztec Camera
with the melodic, off-tempo vocals of
Spandau Ballet and a very strong backbone
from drummer Mike Joyce and Bassist Andy Rourlee. The Smiths join other progressive bands, such as The Alarm and
Echo and the Bunnymen, in the use of the
acoustic guitar. Opting for a melodic
sound, instead of the harsh, clanging guitar
attack, the Smiths use variations on their
style to reach out to a diverse listening audience. From the poppy tune of "Headmaster Ritual" to the folky sounds of
'Rusholine Ruffians" to the punky "What
She Said", the Smiths bring about a
message of depression, suffering, and coping in a very strong manner. Lead singer
Morrissey conveys this theme well with
his gentle, yet firm, singing style. He is supported pleasantly by the strength of
Johnny Marr's guitar work. Like U2, the
guitar makes its presence felt without overwhelming the listener. Lyrics like "1 smoke
coke, I'm hoping for an early death, AND I
NEED TO CLING TO SOMETHING"
from "What She Said" and "I think about
life and I think about death, and neither
one pariiculary appeals to me" from
"Nowhere Fast", as well as the strong anticruelty to animals message of the title track
"Meat is Murder", make this a tough
album to listen to if you're in a depressed
mood, but don't let that get you down.
Songs such as "What She Said", the stylish
air of "Well I Wonder", the slow acoustics
of "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore", and
the bonus cut of previously released "How
Soon is Now?" on the U.S. Edition of the
LP carry this album very well, and make it
one of the most solid albums to hit the airwaves this year, and it should remain
towards the top in 1985.
Andrew Skibins
Howard Jones' The 12" Album
The man who won over many listeners
with "New Song" Is now back with a compilation of various songs which were
released over the last year or so. The songs
are very danceable like those in his first
LP, Human's Lib. and are, for the most
part, remixes of those songs. One stand-out
is the new version of "New Song" which
incorporates new precussions and better
vocals. "Always Asking Questions" is a
"hew" song and contains the characteristic
beat and vocals which Howard is known
for. Musically, he does basically all the instrumental work which includes various
synthesizers. His synthesizer work is at its
best in "Total Conditioning" with some
weird but pleasant sounds. Although the
lyrics might not be the most abstract, they
don't have to be. It's the music which
counts here, and it is great. This is a great
compilation, and you will find yourself
dancing to every beat.
Gary Bass
Art Ensemble
The Third Decade
The Art Ensemble has been a major
creative force in jazz since the 1960's. Fusing experimental "free form" and traditional jazz with the music of Africa, composer/leaders Lester Bowie, Joseph Jarman
and Roscoe Mitchell have consistantly
been charting new frontiers for the enjoyment of hardcore jazz fans throughout the
world. Still, their music has not been for
everyone. Known for being somewhat
dissonant and, to say the least, lacking
rhythmic and tonal structure, no one, in a
practical sense, could expect them to be
embraced by the masses. But then again, it
Is unlikely that anyone could have possibly
predicted that the Art Ensemble would
release anything as universal as 77ie Third
Decade, their latest on ECM records.
The Third Decade is more accessable
and eclectic than previous efforts. The
opening piece, "Prayer for Jimbo Kwcsi," is
a surprisingly light and spacious swing,
which grooves smoothly to a restful resolution. In direct contrast, "Funky AECO" is a
colorful and uplifting jam which incorporates the syncopated rhythmic qualities
of soulful horns and hard driving percussion. In closing out side one, the Art
Ensemble continues with the unexpected: a
slow blues ballad cut right out of the New
Orleans Traditon. Side two ventures
through the spectrum of sound: "The Bell
Piece," a spacy interplay between percus-

sion, bass and horns; "Zero," a catchy yet
expressive straight ahead bop piece; and
the title cut, "Third Decade", a pulsating
free-form piece featuring the African percussive talents of Famoudou Don Moye.
In a nutshell, 77ie Third Decade has
something for all. Whether your tastes are
firmly traditional or on the fringes, the Art
Ensemble of Chicago's latest offers creative
vitality that is simply inspirational. The only question is - what will they do next? I
can hardly waitl
Andrew Morfopoulos
Billy Bragg
Brewing Up With Billy Bragg
The beauty of Billy Bragg's latest effort,
Breyving Up With Billy Bragg, lies mainly
in its simplicity. Bragg combines raucous,
hearty British vocals with bold guitars and
injects punchy, opinionated lyrics to give
us what he calls a "Puckish Satire on Contemporary Mores." And so it is. Here is a
collection of stories, complaints, and viewpoints, all touched with irony. Bragg sings
about everything - love, war, and politics and presents it with definite flavor. He has
the ability to transform his ideas into simple, yet poignant words, and the instruments never fail to guide these words.
The guitar speaks with the singer; when
Bragg is bitter, we feel his guitar become
forceful and tense, as In "Island of No
Return"; but the music flows, becomes
melodious and almost weeps in "St.
Swithen's Day," a beautiful song mourning
a lost love. The lyrics are detailed, reflecting clear memories and observations. In
"A Lover Sings," Bragg amusingly recalls
his love of trivial details; he makes ordinary perceptions so important.
Each song is written and performed with
care. Since Bragg has chosen to pare down
music to its basic elements, everything • the
instruments, the vocals, and the lyrics must convey the feeling and tone. Brewing
Up With Billy Bragg is successful In that
each of these elements share tfje task equally, and they consistantly blend together to
keep the music whole.

read the curriculum guide till 8:35, and
briskly walked to his 9 o'clock class.

Bud Deskan walked past all the long
buildings, with flat classrooms, with
separate desks, down an uncovered
stairwell into his new arena. There was a
sign that said with black metal letters on a
magneta metal back drop, LECTURE
CENTERS. 'Psych 101 is in LC 5', he read
to himself off his program card. All his
classes were in LC's, he just couldn't
remember the numbers. He got there 15
minutes early. He opened the doors. The
door crashed in behind him. All the lights
were off. He stood by a tall white square
column. He didn't move. He saw the
stage. People streamed in. They didn't
notice the dark. The professor entered
from a side door, turned on all the lights
from his podium, plugged in his miniature
mike, attached it to his shirt and began talking despite a'murmer in his audience.
Three people' swarmed the mass of
students, demanding they receive three
sets of papers. Bud Deskan went to the
men's room after class. He walked past the
soda machine, the ice cream machine, the
newspaper machine and the candy and
chips machine on his way to his next class,
Sociology 120A, in LC 19. Biology was
also in LC 19.
The walk back to the dorms seemed as
cheerful as the one from the dorm, except
it was slower, not rnuch slower. His eyes
weren't bloodshot but Bud Deskan felt his l:
eyes were only three quarters open. He
tried to get them all the way open but he !

"Jesus Christ." the voice said, "What are
you doing jumping around so early?"
"Aren't you going to lunch?"
"Yeah, but its no big thrill." He burped
and spat.

brother said that "Classes are terrible, lame
movies, or scuzzy soap operas, that keep
coming to you until who are you is a
metaphor." He told me they think they're
holding your attention by threatening you
with curves, but BAM, you're a seat.
You're a goddamned seat in a LC. Some
plastic colored seat. You're probably a light
blue. Girls are typically orange but my
brother wasn't sure of the colors. Don't
you see, just like any film, you can come in
on the end. It's the best part, right?"
"Do you want to go to lunch with me?"
He crawled out of bed, took two beers
out of the frige, popped both tops off, "Ah,
O.K., after we finish our beers. Listen I'm
going to help you. Help you exist. I'm
your chance."
"I can't wait, I've got a 12:20."
"Yeah, but please, buddy, don't sit in the
light blue seats.
After three weeks the system of classes
was memorized. He didn't know the

He carried his closing eyes like a limp. He
became jealous of his roommate. Before
class he stared at the white panels of the
LC's walls instead of rehashing his previous
lecture notes. He rubbed the palm of his
hand against the front of the plastic chairs.
Whenever he studied his nose would run.
One day his Psych professor showed a film
about Harlow's monkeys. Noise was
rumbling from the LC next door. It sounded like, Huey Lewis and the News. Tie

Deskan wanted to get up and go to the
bathroom; get up and go home. He didn't.
He sat low and high on his seat, pushing his
behind on every corner of the chair's surface. His sociology teacher crossed his legs,
sitting on a lone chair on his stage, talking
and coughing into his mike, "I am available
for questions during my office hours. 1 am
getting no questions, cough, no visitors for
that matter, so I feel free to push on, is that
a good assumption?" Bud Deskan raised his
hand to ask a question, maybe about his
test, but he was practically in the back row.
ly. It was time Bud forgot about over and
over. Wailing for his sociology lecture he'd
rub his hand onto the bottom of the fold
up desks, pushing his hand across the bumpy gum and screws. The teacher, in his
familiar position, spoke of apathy. A
young girl wearing wide glasses and loose
hair barraged him with questions, "I don't
understand how you can say our modern
society is apathetic." ,
'"I say this in comparison to previous
societies. If you are reading the text you'll
realize that today, with computers,
political party breakdowns and mass
media, per say, man has been alienating
himself from his neighbors, his fellow man.
Things in general are just no longer done
on a personal basis. That's why today's
society has become apathetic."
"Bul what about me and the row of girls
sitting next to me? We're all friends. We
came here as friends."
"You must expand your mind, outside
of the college community, our LC's, this atmosphere is not an adequate sampling of
society at large."
Bud Deskan's roommate had steadily cut
back on his beer intake and was involved
with intramural hockey. Bud Deskan
wanted to join him. Join his ways, avoid
the plight his roommate's brother had prophesized. But Deskan couldn't get out of
his plastic chair and wail, "Help me, ah, ah,
ahhhhh, kick me in my gut." He wasn't
supposed to need these things. Besides, the
offer came so long ago. His roommate
didn't seem to know he existed, or even
know his class schedule.
While urinating in the same urinal he'd
been urinating in, in the only bathroom
he'd been in outside of his dorm, the LC
bathroom. Bud Deskan philosophized. He
thought about things. All of the school's
classes were in the LC complex. The other
buildings were.just historic places for the
speakers to sit, the performers. If only his
mother would call him up, maybe someone was dead. He'd miss class, pee in a
new toilet. Somebody had to tell him to
miss class.

always be ready for classes. And he was.
For his first test, a sociology 120A test
worth one third of his grade, he thought
about that text book all day. He showered
the night before and the morning before.
He went to perform in his best cotton shirt
with three well sharpened pencils. He
broke the points of two of them while filling out his - name and social security
number on the maze of green dots. He
pressed so lightly, filling in the remaining
dots, to save the point of his last pencil that
the computer didn't pick up his marks.
He started sitting on the very end of
rows, moving back a chair for every class,
skipping over rows with light blue chairs.

Shyster tricks
Four to six hundred w o m e n will probably
leave the Albany area to get abortions this
year.
In fact, health department studies show that
more w o m e n leave the Albany area to get
abortions than any other comparable city in
the state.
Currently, an abortion in the Albany area
costs $700 or more. The closest clinic, which
generally offers abortions at $200 or less, is in
Schenectady.
These facts show a definite need for a low
cost abortion clinic in the Albany area.
But the Catholic Church doesn't think so.
The Albany Roman Catholic Diocese has
taken the Health Department to court in an
attempt to stop the opening of an abortion
clinic on Lark Street. The church officials
claim they aren't fighting the constitutional
issue of abortion rights; they contend the
Health Department hasn't
properly
demonstrated a need for such a clinic.
Actually, they've caught the Health Department on a procedural technicality. They maintain that the health department failed to
follow proper internal procedures in researching Planned Parenthood's request for a
license.
S o , while the church fights out an
ideaological dispute with the government,
under the guise of a concern for proper procedures, those who can't afford expensive
abortions will have to seek out other options.
Some will go to Schenectady for an abortion,
possibly riding a bus home from what is
sometimes described as a painful procedure.
Others will attept abortions on their own,
often causing irreparable internal damage or
costing them their lives. And still others may
feel they have no choice but to bring unwanted children into the world, children
who've been known to later face intolerable
abuse. The picture may not always be this
bleak, but social workers can offer countless
cases that document its truth.
Clearly, the church is fighting its battle in
the wrong arena this time. The only issue that
should considered now is one of equal access;
abortion is legal and as long as it is, it ought to
be accessible to all.
The health department has proven the need
for a low cost, accessible, abortion clinic in
downtown Albany. It's sad to see the church
lowering itself to shyster tricks in the name of
holy causes.
Our diversity
Where can you enjoy an evening of German
rock music? Or talk to an expert about U.S.
relations with Nicaragua? Or see the academy
award winning film Moscow Doesn't
Believe
in Tears?
It's all happening on the S U N Y A campus
this week, as part of the fourth annual World
Week. The event is organized and run by the
administration, with participation from a
broad spectrum of the campus community.
The programs offered throughout this
weeklong celebration of S U N Y A ' s diversity
provide us with an important opportunity to
get a brief glimpse of a variety of peoples and
cultures. Many of these people are full-time
members of our campus community who we
pass on the podium every day.
For one week every year the administration
goes to the trouble of offering a program to
explore our diversity. But it shouln't end
there. A n awareness and tolerance o f the
many cultures represented on this campus is
an important outcome of both this week, and
the college experience as a whole.

Election reform: Now
Since its creation eleven years ago as a student-based
research and advocacy organization, NYPIRG has yearly
registered tens of thousands of New York State students
to vote, the majority of whom are first time voters. At
SUNY-Albany alone, close to 6,000 students were
registered during last semester's voter registration drive.
We also have successfully litigated path-breaking legal action to gain students the right to vote in the campus communities in which they live, along with the Student
Association of the State University of New York (SASU).
Gene Russianoff
Last fall we expanded our registration drives to the
community. On October 4, 1984 NYPIRG coordinated
an effort in which 1,500 volunteers in New York City
registered more than 52,000 people, primarily in lowerincome and minority neighborhoods. In Albany, close to
100 volunteers registered 900 people on that day.
Voter registration activities during 1984 were unprecedented. Civil rights groups, peace activists, religious
workers, students, conservatives and liberals, Democrats
and Republicans, all joined in efforts to register people to
vote. Yet, millions of Americans eligible to vote did not
take advantage of this opportunity. In 1980 only 52.6 percent of voting age Americans participated; about 78
million eligible voters did not.
Low voter turnout is not the fault of lazy or indifferent
citizens, but of government. Although many complain
about voter apathy, the overwhelming proportion of U.S.
citizens who do register end up voting. In 1980, 86.8 percent of those who were registered voted. A panel of
scholars, reporters and public officials found that "...the
greatest obstacle to voting in American is erected by laws
and administrative practices that make registration
significantly more difficult in the United Slates than in
any other democratic country."
Registration is hampered by needlessly complicated
forms; voters who do not know to reregister when they
move; and cut-off dates that bar registration just when
potential voters have turned their attention to the election. The inability of Americans to vote is due, in large
part, to the lack of effort that our government has place
on voter registration.
The U.S. Is one of few large democratic nations in
which the government does not actively register people to
vote. In Canada, government workers canvass door-todoor for new voters and many European nations
automatically register individuals through their census. A
study by the University of California at Berkeley ranked
voter turnout in the U.S. 23rd out of 24 democratic nations In recent years.
In New York State, low voter turnout and registration
are particularly severe. In 1982, only 56.5 percent of all
eligible voters in the state were registered, leaving 5.5
million voting age Now Yorkers unregistered.
Each election season politicians usually complain about
voter apathy, low turnout and difficulties voters face at
the polls. Yet rarely do these officials follow-up their
complaints with action. The reason for this is simple: one
factor prevents them from acting on the rhetoric. Former
President Carter declared at a Harvard symposium that
the one factor is "incumbency." Carter declared, "Incumbents don't want to see additional, unpredictable
voters registered. To have a 25 percent or 30 percent increase of unpredictable voters is something they don't
relish — I would suggest to you that this is the singlemost
important obstacle to increasing participation on election
day."
.„.•
Although politicians are reluctant to see the electorate
expanded, citizens concerned about low voter turnout
must take action. NYPIRG has been in the forefront of
election reform in N.Y.S. This year NYPIRG presented a
package of changes that would dramatically improve the
ability of citizens to register and vote.
An important step to increasing voter activity would be
to simplify registration forms. Small type, confusing
design and unnecessary details hinder potential
registrants. Many forms are rejected by local election
boards for technical omissions. The forms also
discriminate against naturalized citizens, who are asked
for their naturalization number from legal papers they are
not required to carry. The number is not needed or used
in the registration process.
Other steps that N.Y.S could take include: 1) Requiring
election boards to make registration forms available to
the public in government buildings. 2) Providing grants to
private, non-partisan groups (i.e. — League of Women
Voters, NAACP) that conduct voter registration drives.
One grant program, implemented in Idaho, paid fifty
cents for every new voter registered in door-to-door canvass. Idaho now has a 90 percent registration rate. 3)
Making the State, rather than Counties, responsible for
printing and paying for voter registration forms.
1984 was an unprecedented year for voter registration
efforts. On the SUNY-Albany campus, and throughout
the slate, activists increased the number of potential
voters. NYPIRG, and others, are committed to seeing
that 1985 is a year for elimination of laws that make our
voter registration work so hard. Students should address
concerns about election reform to the leaders of the
N.Y.S. legislature's elections committees:

To the Editor:
It is ironic that the school's new cheating policy is a
"model of integrity" (Tuesday's ASP) because the Student Association now sells old exams to students, which
undermines the basic principles of academic integrity.
Selling exams reduces education to a market for grades,
thus diminishing the value of learning. Obviously those
"students" who buy exams have a better chance at an A
than students who honestly study. And that's really a
shame. Vending exams also diminishes the prestige of a
SUNYA diploma. When employers recruit students on
campus and see ads for the test bank, they'll rightfully
come to the',conclusion that SUNYA is a school where

grades can be bought, not earned. It's not appropriate for
SA, an organization dedicated to seeking a quality education for students, to contradict its ideals by emphasizing
grades, not learning, defeating the purpose of an exam
and furthering SUNYA's image as a degree factory. It
also sets a bad precedent for SA. What will they sell next?
Term papers or class notes? There are far better ways SA
can channel its funding and energy. They could lobby for
a repeal of the grouper law in Pine Hills, work on offering students an alternative to the overpriced bookstore
(e.g. a co-op) or schedule some much-needed additional
buses on Friday and Saturday nights. Selling tests will only denigrate the value of education in the long run.

The silent majority
To the Editor:
For the past four years, I have been content to read the
ASP twice a week and silently tolerate the views of the
anti-porn crusaders. But it's time that the vocal minority
stopped getting ail the attention.
Opinions are just that: opinions. The freedom of their
expression, in the absence of outright treason, is an absolute. Even the opposition of 100 percent of our society
is insufficient justification for the suppression of any
idea.
Unfortunately, precedent has its power. The banning
of one magazine is only a short step away from the prohibition of some book. From there, you can kiss your
liberty goodbye and you might as well lobotomize babies
at birth for all the freedom of expression they'll have.
Listen to people who tell you what you should or
should not see, people who would subjectively impose
their morality upon you. Odds are that they'll bug you.

Open test bank
To the Editor:
On behalf of the Student Association and the
Academic Affairs Committee, we would like to announce
the opening of the SA Test Bank which opened Monday,
Feb. 25, 1985.
For those of us who have worried before our exams and
asked, "what is he going to ask?" or t'what are her tests
like?" the key to success is well within reach. The bank is
located in the Campus Center, at the Central Sales-Office
(in between Key Bank and the Contact Office) and will
consist of tests that have been generously donated by
various members of the University community. These
tests are being made available at a minimal cost only to
compensate for operating expenses. We are not looking
to make a profit.
There are many good reasons for the initiation of such
a bank. First of all, the Test Bank will help alleviate much
of the mental strain that is encountered by students when
preparing for exams. Also, the test bank is accessible to
all students, therefore possibly removing the advantage
some students have over others when they acquire some
of the many past exams in circulation. This is reinforced
by the fact that some professors give identical or extremely similar exams semester after semester.
This program is already in effect at many large universities nationwide and is extremely popular. The key to the
success of the test bank however is continued student
patronage. Not only in purchasing exams but also in contributing to the ever growing supply of past exams.
In order to encourage students to utilize this valuable
source only recently made available to them, the Student
Association is offering, for a limited time only, an exchange program. For every old exam brought in that is
not yet on file, you will receive an equal amount of test
pages for free. All test donations arc kept confidential
and original test papers are returned.
As midterms approach, we would like to encourage
students to make use of this great study tool.

Take it seriously
To the Editor:
"This can't be happening! But, they arc civilized
cultured people!" Everyone has claimed (hat this is so.
Yet, prejudice and racism are realities, even in civilized,
cultured worlds.
Racist hatred and death plots are not a new
phenomenon in history, and they are not dying from a
case of extinction either. They have existed from the
earliest pre-written histories and are predominant even to
this day.
This week marks the anniversary of a time when a blatant Persian anti-Semite vowed to annihilate the Jewish
people. The Jewish Persian Queen Esther fasted and
' prayed for salvation and was granted her wish, hence the
joyous celebration of Purim. This may seem like an end
to most, but it is truly the beginning of a long score of
events that took place, nearly reducing the Jewish people
to extinction, of which few of even the "highly educated"
individuals are even aware of.
Some of these "highly educated" individuals swear incessently that atrocities like the Holocaust never even occured, and they deny that Jews, among other nationalities
and races are being tortured and persecuted in Russia,
Ethiopia, and Syria. What is the price that humanity and
dignity and civilization must pay before people become
aware of this?! It is possible, anywhere, and everywhere,
and anytime! Civilization and culture by no means
prevented Germany from perpetrating the most vulgar
and dehumanizing acts of all times! How long will we be
blind? Queen Esther, by her prayer, fasting, and fervent
devotion merited salvation and the salvation of her people. May we all be able, in our own devotion, prayer, and
fasting on the Fast of Esther, March 6th, to aid in the
salvation of our brothers, the current prisoners of conscience in Russia and Ethiopia, and Syria.
The story of Purim, as the holocaust, is an amulet
against further atrocities, but only if we take it seriously
and learn from it.

Secular aid
To the Editor:
The other week I noticed a table set up by students in
the campus center asking for donations to help the Ethiopian Jewish refugees. I wondered what these people were
going through that the rest of the Ethiopian population
had not suffered already. It seems apparent that the
Ethiopian Jews, Muslims, Christians and animists are all
sharing the same problem, starvation. So why only help
the Ethiopian Jews? Are the other religious groups not
deserving of our aid? Highly unlikely! Should other
students start organizing committees to help save the
Ethiopian Christians and the Ethiopian Muslins. Since
Israel is only aiding the Ethiopian Jews, should the
United States (since the majority of Americans arc Christian) only support Ethiopian Christians? Should Egypt
only aid Ethiopian Muslims? Obviously this is upsurd!
All Ethiopians need our help. Let's not categorize people
in limes of crisis. Should race, religion and/or nationality
determine who should be fed and who should be ignored?
Yes, I do want to save a life but not because he is Christian, or Jewish or Muslim or animisl, but because he is a
human being!

Poor service
To Ihe Editor:
I don'l mean lo bring up an old, annoying subject, but
I feel I have lo...
The University bus service is nol operating up to its full
potential: Over the past three weeks I have heard around
100 complaints about Ihe bus schedule. All you have lo
do is stand al a bus stop for 60 seconds and you will hear
[hem too.
I find absolutely, positively, no reason whal-so-ever
that I must stand on the corner of Quail and Western and
see four full buses pass me by. Nol only do I freeze, but 1
become late for class to boot!
Something must be done aboui this and quick!
I cannot forget to add Ihe icing on the cake. (This
message should hit home for Ihe off-campus students.)
You are paying to wait out in the cold! The brunt of the
bus fee falls on you!
We must ban together and get this present bus schedule
changed.
I am also very curious about the amount of income that
the University has generated from our bus fee money. We
have a right to know how much money and exactly what
il is being used for. Perhaps some of our bus fee money
could be used lo create a new schedule. (What do you
think?)
If you find yourself on a corner watching full buses go
whizzing by — jot it down. Write down where you were
standing, what time it was, how many buses passed you
by, the date, and sign your name. (You can write the
temperature outside, and.how late you arc to class if you
are really upset.)
Please drop these "little notes" off in S.A. (CC 116)
and we'll see if we can't solve this problem together.
While we're at it, we going to demand to see Ihe figures
(dollars and cents) that the bus fee has generated. It's
amazing how these things are hush-hush.
And remember, if you write down your grievances today — you might not be waiting in the cold tomorrow.
See you at the bus itopl

Arms race
is inherently hostile towards the
idea of arms control. In my opinion," he said, "the goal to
achieve superiority over the
Soviet Union in nuclear weapons,
(is) a superiority which the Soviet
Union would not tolerate our
having. This attempt, this drive,,
is going to make arms agreements
virtually impossible." Harrison
added, "it is a populasr myth,
propagated by the press, that
'what is good for us is bad for the
Soviet Union and vice versa'."
Mitchell Goldstein of. High
Frontiers and the Capital District
of Peace Through Strength differentiated High Frontiers, which
is a space-based non-nuclear
system to defend America against
incoming nuclear missiles, from
the Strategic Defense Initiative
(SDI), explaining that "High
Frontiers is something (we could
be) doing right now. The High
Frontier is put into effect for thirty, thirty-five million dollars, and
will be up, working, saving your
neck in two to five years. While
critics scoff, the public, in
general, seems to appreciate the
common sense approach of
defending ourselves. Therefore,
what is the sin in attempting to
develop a defense against the
Soviet attempt. Governments are
formed for just about, the sole
purpose of defending the nation
against attack. Otherwise, there is
very little purpose for a national
government, and it so states in
our own constitution,"
When asked if the U.S. should
negotiate with Russia, D'Elia
said, "we owe it to ourselves, to
the rest of the globes to
negotiate,"
.Goldstein disagreed...,''We.
should not negotiate with the
Russians. To the Russian mentality, negotiation is just another
form of warfare. If ,ypu,.don't
believe me, please read their own
periodicals. Anything, they sign
cannot be (rusted."
Korowitz stated that we "can't
expect much...until we can learn
to respect each.other." Goldstein
asserted that treaties have not
been effective, while Sloan noted
that "neither side has negotiated
in good faith."
Most panelists agreed on
negotiating down offensive
missiles. Kendall suggested to
"whittle down to bare minimal
defensive missiles (with no offensive)." Harrison said, "don't
negotiate weapons, negotiate interests. We have a whole area of
mutual interests — like survival,
for example." Goldstein said he
owuld negotiate only if he was
" d r a g g e d in kicking and
screaming."
As for the future of dterrcnts,
Harrison said he felt it was
"poor...there would be a greater
chance for accidents," while Kendall proposed that "maybe (a
deterrent doesn't exist."

Media fuels student anti-apartheid movement
(CPS) "Nothing happens in the
winter," lamented Dumisani
Kumalo of the American Committee on Africa (ACA), referring
to the scarcity of student protest
against South African racial
segregation during the beginning
months of 1983.
But, in the dead of winter, the
student anti-apartheid movement
suddenly heated up, surprising
even movement leaders.
Fueled by Jesse I Jackson's
ongoing anti-apartheid crusade,
South African Bishop Desmond
Tutu's recent winning of the
Nobel Peace Prize, numerous
marches on U.S.-based South
African diplomatic offices, and
the arrests of some 200 protestors
since late November, 1984, the
campus Sputh African movement
is going strong, leaders report.
"A lot more students, because
of the media attention South
Africa has been getting among the
general public, are suddenly
becoming aware and interested in
stopping apartheid," noted
Joshua Nessen, ACA student
coordinator.
Nessen, who in the past has
tried to spread the word by
associating it with more highlypublicized causes like the antinuclear movement, thinks he may
have turned a corner.
"You know the campus movement is gaining momentum when,
in the midst of Christmas vacation at Berkeley, you have 1,000
students marching on the administration building, locking
arms, and demanding
divestiture," he said.
Indeed, in just the last two
months students on dozens of
campuses across the country have
protested the plight of the black
majority in South Africa, demanding that their colleges stop investing in U.S. companies which
do business with the white
supremicist government there.
During the ' December 7th
march at Berkeley, for instance,
38 students were arrested as over
1,000 protestors encircled the administration building for three
hours.
The day before, several hundred University of MarylandCollege Park students, locked out
Test bank
of a planned sit-in at the admistration building, boarded
buses and marched on system
President John Toll's office to
protest the system's $6.3 million
in S o u t h
African-tied
investments.
.
'We're planning a record year of
student protests and civil
disobedience."
—Joshua Nessen
Likewise, a group of University
of Texas students chanting
"Board of Regents, you can't
hide, we charge you with
genocide," protested outside a recent board of regents meeting
demanding the UT system sell its
estimated $600 million in South
African-linked stock holdings.
And in a somewhat more
radical tactic, 12 members of
Oberlin College's Student Coalition Against Apartheid tried unsuccessfully to shut down the
campus computer system and
hold it hostage until the school
sold off its $30 million in South
African-tied companies.
Accustomed to a regular,
organized series of student protests during the warmer, spring
months, this winter's spontaneous uprisings have caught
even anti-apartheid activists by
surprise.
"I don't think any of us expected (the campus protests) to be
this big, at this time," Nessen
revealed:1 "I don't know what
w o u l d h a v e h a p p e n e d at

demonstration.
Ruled by a minority of five
million whites, South Africa's 22
million blacks are forced to live,
work, play, and attend school only with other blacks.
Campus anti-apartheid leaders
want to force colleges to sell off
their billions of dollars in endowment stock holdings in some 350
U.S. companies which do
business with South Africa.
Such "divestiture," they say,
will force U.S. companies to
pressure the government to
amend its racist policies or lose
American business.
"It's too soon to tell if (this
winter's campus protests) are actually resulting in more colleges
divesting of South African-tied
stock," said Knight.
"But they are going to find it
harder and harder to stall as long
as there is continued student protest and as more states and
localities enact divestiture
legislation."

Famine aids Peace Corps recruitment
(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) The
famine in Africa has inspired an
unprecedented number of,
students to inquire about joining
the Peace Corps in recent weeks.
More than 12,000 prospective
recruits — as many as 8,000 of
them college students —- have
called the agency since Jan. 10th,
when it launched an appeal for
workers with agricultural-related
skills to help combat the famine
in Africa.
Nearly a month after the
recruitment drive was launched,
calls are still coming in at three
times the normal rate. The interest has been so strong that the
agency may met its recruitment

goals for the first time in 24 years,
Peace Corps officials said.
"It's incredible what we've
created," marvelled press officer
Ron DcFore. "We're breaking all
records, both for quantity and
quality." DeFore acknowledges
the unprecedented response is
almost entirely attributable to
widespread publicity in recent
months of the extreme famine
conditions across much of Africa.
"The most common reaction to
our pitch used to be 'Gee, 1 didn't
know the Peace, Corps was still
around,"' DeFore recalled.
"Now, it seems we've reawakened the American population as a
whole to the fact that the Corps is
still alive.

Men's swim team captures seventh in States
By Donna Altman
STAFF WRITER
The Albany State men's swim team
finished the season with a splash, taking
seventh place in the state competition this
weekend in Potsdam.
"It was a really good meet and a great
weekend. Everyone did well and we all had
fun," said team captain Jeff Ball.
All the men had phenomenal times,
creaking records left and right.
Both Jeff Kennedy and Mike Feldman
lad incredible performances. Kennedy,
\ho swam several races, broke Tom
• landy's record with a 17:42 in the 1650
reestyle and his own record in the 400 Inlividual Medley with an outstanding time
if 4:27. Feldman, another fantastic swimner did well in the 100-yard backsiroke
with a time of S9.4. In the 100-yard
freestyle, he had a 49.4 and in the 50-yard
freestyle Feldman swam like a
powerhouse, taking him to the consolation
finals.
"Overall Jeff Kennedy and Mike
Feldman were key in the competition.
Their times really dropped. They stood out
in the meet," said Ball.
breaking his own records in the
500-freestyle with a 5:13.2 and in the
200-yard freestyle with a 1:56. He cut his
times down a great deal in this important
meet.
In the 500-yard freestyle, Michael
Wright pulled a season's best time of 5:07.
He also performed with excellence in the
100-yard backstroke, taking a 1:01,

The divers did great as expected. Mike

"People basically did well at their own
level,"-commented Mike Wright. "The
conference has gotten a Iqt more difficult,
especially since New Paltz is competing. It
makes things even tougher."
The nine seniors played a bjg role in
Albany's victorious season and they'll be
tough to replace. Captains Jeff Ball and
Tom Handy, Mike Cano, Frank Cawley,
Mike Feldman, Frank Parker, Joe Pastel,
Caleb Schulman, and Dean Wilson will be

Andy Seras captures NCAA championship, Danes finish 13th
a Back Page'
For the four time SUNYAC champion,
foure-time All-American, and 1984 Olympic alternate, the NCAA title was one he
had long coveted. This weekend, in what
DeMeo called a near-perfect effort, he got
it.
In the four matches Seras wrestled, the
only points scored against him were escape
points, most of which Seras gave up
voluntarily.
"He wrestled smart, tough, aggressive,
and near-perfect," said DeMeo.
Seras' first match, against St. Lawrence,
was won by forfeit. The St. Lawrence
coach, hoping to advance his wrestler further in the tournament, was afraid to risk
an injury against Seras and threw in the
towel.
"It was the only time that was done in
the entire match," said DeMeo.
Seras' second match was aginst
Brockport's Scott Slade. In what DeMeo
calls an almost identical match to their
SUNYAC confrontation, Seras easily
defeated Slade.
"It was unbelievable," said DeMeo of
the match. "He took him down in the exact same spot with the exact same take
down. "
Seras' third match was against an opponent from Trenton State, the team that
went on to win the championship.
In the fourth and final round, Seras
defeated Matt Bouslog, the top seeded
wrestler of the match. With the victory
came the long sought-after title.
"I expected to win the title, said Seras,"
but when you finally get, it sure tastes
good." good."
"Andy did a great job and definitely
deserved to win," said Averill of his teammate. "No one worked harder than Andy,
and I'm very happy for him. He will
definitely place in Division I."
"Andy was just so amazing," said
DeMeo. "He has proven himself to be the
greatest wrestler in Albany State history,
and, the greatest I've ever coached. This title was very important to him, and he was
every bit as good as he could be."
The team finished 13th overall, down
from the fifth place rankage they had carried going into the match.
"The team finish was not what we had
hoped for," said DeMeo, "But we had a
terrific season."
"Overall we didn't do as well as we
could have," DeMeo went on, "but Andy
was just great."

game was the last of their career at
Albany. "I just wanted to win my last
game because I lost my first game," said
Patterson. "I think people on the team
didn't want it as much as if we were in the
NCAAs, but to me it was' so important to
win and I wanted to better our record on
the way out."
For Nazareth, who were happy to just
be in the tournament, the win put their
record at 15-7. "Albany has a nice team.
Given a little more time the game could
have gotten closer," said Decillis. "We
feel good because we beat a good team."

The Albany Stale hockey club beat Siena, 6-3 on Saturday.
Danes skate by Siena
By Larry Hanover
Last Saturday night, the Albany State
hockey club took on rival Siena College.
With solid defense and an overpowering
offense, the Danes defeated the Indians,
6-3.
The Indians took a quick 2 - 0 lead as
Albany started the game with sloppy
play. After the 2 - 0 Siena lead, Albany
took control of the game. Led by Mike ;
Mondiello's two goals, the Danes rallied
to score five straight goals midway
through the second period to lead 5 - 2.
The three goal lead was cut to two
when Siena scored with two minutes left
in, the second period. Despite
dominating the remainder of the game,
Albany added only one more goal to
make the final score 6 - 3 , breaking a
two game losing streak for the Danes.
Albany's goal scorers included two
newcomers, Hernandy and Mulligan.
John Franz and Abrahms also lit the
light. Drew Rubin and Jim Leskody
played well in goal for Albany.
This Saturday, the Danes take on
arch-rival MVCC in Schenectady. The
game's proceeds will go to Telethon.
Buses will be leaving the circle at 4:00
p.m. on Saturday. The fee for the bus
will be $1.
Tickets will cost $1 and will be an sale
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in
the Campus Center lobby.

Swim team closes at 10-1
By Rachel BfS&loW
I "Yoilj see these people eyeryday,%'s like
i; you just madefifty new friends. It's people
doing what you like to do," commented
freshman swimmer Doreen Clark about
the Albany State swimming teams.
The Dane women's swimming team
wrapped up their season February 23 at the
SUNYAC Championships held at SUNYOswego with a 7th place finish.
The 1983-84 season compiled a 10 - 1
record, losing only to powerhouse University of Vermont. First year Head CcacH
Dave Turnage termed this season a "learning process." He said, "It was more the
team getting to learn me and me getting to
know them." He added that their was a
lack of recruiting this year.
However, the five freshmen on this
year's team added much needed depth and
diversity to the team effort. "When I first
joined the team I did not expect it to be as
friendly as it was, everybody does
everything together, everyone was very accepting," continued Clark.
Perhaps this is why the team finished
with an 8 - 6 record and six school records
were broken. Clark herself shattered the
pool record in the 200 backstroke.
Teammate sophomore Carol Pearl had
an "outstanding season," according to
Turnage. She rewrote the books with new
school records in the 200, 500, 1,000 and
1,650 freestyle events as well as the 400 individual medley.
This past season was highlighted by a
irip to Puerto Rico from January 3 — 14.
Almost all of the members of both the
men's and women's swim teams went.
There, the teams practiced two times a day
for approximately two hours each practice. Depending on the day, the team
generally swam between seven and eight
thousand yards. This trip not only produced great tans and sunstreaked hair, but
caused a lot of peoples times to drop a
good deal.
This expedition to Puerto Rico helped in
qualifying seventeen swimmers for the
SUNYAC Championships. In the
SUNYACs, Pearl was once again outstanding, placing fifth in the 100 and 500-yard
freestyle events as well as sixth in the
200-yard freestyle race.
In addition, she swam the butterfly leg
of the 200-yard medley, combining with
Clark (backstroke), sophomore Linda
Cerky (breaststrokc) and senior Kris
Monohan (freestyle) for a 4th place finish.
In terms of next year Turnage said,
"The team itself will do better as a whole.
Recruiting will be a big part of it. It looks
pretty good now. We'll just have to wait
and see."
Unfortunately Albany State will be losing seniors Sue Hrib, Jewel Rambo and
Monohan to graduation.
Next year's team will benefit by the
return of Ail-American diver Janet Klotz
from a year abroad in Europe.
Although Turnage was hoping to place
better at the SUNYACs, he remains optimistic towards the next swimming
season.

WPI's Orville Bailey outduels Dane backcourt
By Dean Chang
MANAGING EDITOR
ii
It wasn't supposed to happen this way.
Cancel the flight reservations to Michigan;
there will be no Final Four for the Danes
this year. WPI dashed Albany's
postseason hopes Friday night, but the
Danes have no one to blame but
themselves for this
defeat.
The game promised to Sports
feature four excellent
senior guards; Orville Analysis
Bailey and Gregg Fiddes
for the Engineers, and Dave Adam and
Danny Croutier for the Danes. Well, the
four came to play that night. Each hit their
first shot of the game, giving notice that
this contest was going to be won or lost
depending on the guards. You already
know who lost.
For most of the game, Adam and
Croutier kept up their end of the bargain.
They shot a collective !3-for-21 from the
field, as opposed to WPI's senior duo's
13-for-28. But when the game got down to
the final few minutes, Albany's cocaptains were outshined by the heroics of
Bailey.
Bailey was a constant thorn in the
Danes' side, dribbling away from a futile
Albany press, finding an open teammate,
or hitting the jumper himself. Nothing the
Danes tried could deactivate Worcester's
main bomb.
"He's the key," said WPI coach Ken
Kaufman, referring to Bailey. When Kaufman took Bailey out of the game for a
well-deserved rest, the tri-captain said to
his coach, "I've been out too long,
coach." Thirty seconds later, Bailey was
back into the game.
"Shoot the ball, Orville," chanted the
Albany fans who made the two-hour trek
to Worcester. "Orville, shoot the ball." So
Orville shot the ball. Oh, did he ever shoot
the ball. When the Engineers needed a
basket to stay close to the Danes in the second half, Orville shot the ball. When his
team needed a basket to send the game into
overtime, Orville shot the ball.
"The senior guards did everything that
senior guards should do," said Kaufman.
"Our people know the ropes."
So do the guards from Albany. They
know what's expected of them during
crucial moments. With about 10 seconds
left in regulation and the score tied,
Croutier knew the designed play. With six
seconds left in overtime and Albany down
by one, Adam knew the. designed play. Yet
neither player executed the play that could
have won the ballgame.
Croutier was supposed to look to the
high post as he reached the top of the key.
Instead of passing off, Croutier took a
wild shot that missed everything.
"There was a set play for that situation," said Albany Head Coach Dick
Sauers. "Croutier's a four-year player; he
didn't wait for the play."
In overtime, Croutier passed the ball to
Adam in the corner. Adam was to have
passed the ball back to a cutting Croutier
inside, but passing wasn't on Adam's
mind. There wasn't any hesitation as
Adam put up a tough shot that didn't have
a prayer.
The funny thing is, you want these guys
shooting the ball when the Danes need a
basket. When Croutier tried that
ridiculous shot in regulation, there was a
sense of expectation that it would go in.
When Adam took that ill-advised shot in
overtime, the same sense existed.
According to Kaufman, the game came
down to a simple truth: "When we needed
a basket, we hit. The kid 13 (Adam), he
missed." Close, but not quite.
There was the matter of foul shooting,
normally an Albany strong point. The
Danes shot 75 percent from the line this
year, but could only hit 5 of 12 against
Worcester. That's the game, right there.
Albany could have iced the game by hitting
one of those free throws down the stretch.
According to Sauers, the key play in the
game was when Adam Ursprung was fouled going up for a dunk during a three-onone situation. Ursprung missed both his
free throws, giving WPI another chance
too many.
"We had our chances."
Did they ever have their chances.
Albany could have put the last nail in
WPI's coffin on several occasions, but
they failed to do so. They had that game in
their back pockets, but a clever pickpocket

By defeating the top-seeded Albany
State women's basketball team 66-57
Saturday night, the Nazareth Golden
Flyers captured their second consecutive
ECAC upstate New YorkY Division III
championship.
Thus the season ended for the Danes in a
cloud of defeat rather than the preferred
perfect ending to their perfect season. The
week-long cloud, brought on by SUNYAC
champions, Buffalo State and ECAC
champions, Nazareth College, disappears
when considering this was the only dreary
period in the Danes' entire 84-85 season.
Nothing can take away their amazing 23-4
final record..
The fact still remains that they lost to
Nazareth, who on Saturday night, simply
played a better ball game. Nazareth led for
a substantial portion of the game, the final
33 minutes to be exact.
"We did not play well," said Albany
Head Coach Mari Warner. "We came out
pretty stale and our offense was nonexistent. Basically, Nazareth was a better
team. They won that ball game fair and
square."
To get into the finals, Nazareth beat

Relay gives third to tracksters in SUNYACs
By Ian Clements
STAFF WRITER
The clutch performance of its
4x400-meter relay team enabled the
Albany State men's indoor track team to
squeeze into third place in (he SUNYACs
held at Plattsburgh Saturday.
' Going into the next-to-last event, the'
Danes trailed Buffalo State by one-half
point, and the relay found itself in the unfortunate position of having to run in the
slower unseeded heat.
Undaunted, the team of John Reilly,
Pat Saccocio (52.0), Ed Levy and Mike
Riggins blew away the other teams In their
heat. They then watched as each team in
the seeded section, except Fredonia, failed
to beat their time of 3:33.5. Buffalo State
finished .07 seconds behind Albany. The
Danes moved ahead of the Bengals into
third in the team standings.
Albany clinched third in the final event,
the 4x800-meter relay, by placing fifth,
one position ahead of Buffalo State. The
team of Charles Blanchet, Ed McGill,
Cruig Parlato and Jim Erwin ran 8:25.9.
In the team battle, Fredonia had little
trouble claiming its third consecutive title.
Their score of 173 was 71 points better
than Cortland's. The Danes scored 66
points, while Buffalo State had 63Vi
points. There were nine teams entered In
the fifth annual meet.
The other "highlight" of the meet for
Albany, according to Coach Bob Munsey,
was the 3,000-meter run, in which the
Danes scored 12 points, their highest total
for one event.
Again, the Purple had to overcome the
unseeded heat handicap. Freshman Patty
Paul (8:58.43) and junior Kevin Sheehan
(8:59.2) ran away from the field in the
"slow" section. They were able to score
because only three runners in the "fast"
section had quicker times. One of those
three was sophomore Tim Hoff. The
Bronx native placed third in 8:55.7, a time
less than two seconds shy of the state meet
qualifying standard.
Albany's only individual winner was
(surprise!) Marc Mtrcurio in the 35-pound
weight. The splendid senior tossed the
weight 50' 10", "not a very gOod throw,"
according to Munsey, but good enough to
beat his closest rival by almost two feet.
The easy victory was Mercurio's fifth in
six meets. He will face his stiffest competition of Ihe season Friday when he travels
to Bates College in Lcwiston, Maine to
compete in the Division III nationals.
There, lie will attempt to revenge his only
loss of the campaign (to Union's Scott
Remillard) and to win his first national
title.
"He's ranked third or fourth right now,
but that's a crazy thing, no one's that far
ahead of him," said Munsey. "He could
win it, he could finish third, I don't think
he'll be below third," Munsey added.
On the track, the Danes picked up two
third place medals from runners who have
been weakened by Illness recently. John
Reilly buttled that debilituting disease
known us "slow heal" to place third in the
400-meter run. Munsey culled his split of
51,45, "a real breakthrough," Jim Erwin
also broke through. He lowered his best
1,500-meter time of the season by five
seconds in running 4:05.6 to qualify for
the state meet.
Sophomore Jack Glaser was fifth in the
1,500(4:14).
In one of the toughest fields of the day,
the 5,000-meter run, Ed McGill placed
fourth. The Charlestown native's lime of
15:18.2 was his best of the season but was
far behind that of Cortland's Tim
Wunsch, who won in a blazing 14:47.6.
"Ed hasn't settled down to a real good
time yet," said Munsey, "he's not gelling
in two hard practices each week and that's
hurting him."
Junior Bruce Van Tassel was Albany's
final scorer in the Individual running
events. His time of 8.0 in the 55-meter high
hurdles was good enough for fifth.
Freshman Clinton Bel) was not fast
enough to score in the 800-metcr run
despite splitting 2:01.2.
The Dane distance medley skipped one
lap en route running u fine 10:16. Credit
for the crrorf must go to the officials who
sent the anchormen onto the track one lap
too early.
"The Plattsburgh officials were
negligent and incompetent," charged
Albany's Tom Kacandes, whose
1,200-mctcr leg was shortened by the
miscuc. "They should never host a major
meet again," he added.
The incident allowed Fredonia to move
closer to the Dunes since Kucnndes'
finishing kick wus cut short. Purlalo ran n
tough anchor leg but was unable (o withs-
tand the charge of the Blue Devils' Kevin
Rumsey. Other Danes on the second place
squad were Dave Blelte (800-meiers in
2:01.5) and Saccocio (400-meiers in 52.0).
Newcomers Curt Wiedman and Pal
Dowling pole vaulted l.V and 12'6" to
finish fourth and sixth.
Albany also picked up a sixth in the triple jump, with Paul Mance leaping 43'10
1/4".
The Danes were hampered by a lack of
depth. They failed to score in seven of the
eighteen events.
That weakness may haunt them March
15 and 16 when they travel lo Cortlund for
the state meet. "I don't ihiuk we'll do well
in the meet, (cam-wise," Munsey said.
The team discovered Saturday dial a
meet they thought they had won was actually a loss.
Albany had "beaten" Plattsburgh on
February 16 because a Cnrdinnl relay was
.lisqualified on (lie grounds (hat its anchorman wore a T-shirt under his uniform
top. Munsey and (he Platlsburgh coach
had consulted a 1984 rulebook al Ihe lime.
When Ihey checked Ihe 1985 edition Saturday, (hey discovered Hint the rule hud been
repealed and the controversial T-shirt was

WPI's Orville Bailey outduels Dane backcourt
By Dean Chang
MANAGING EDITOR
It wasn't supposed to happen this way.
Cancel the flight reservations to Michigan;
there will be no Final Four for the Danes
this year. WPI dashed Albany's
postseason hopes Friday night, but the
Danes have no one to blame but
themselves for this
The game promised to ^ r * ' '
feature four excellent A n A l v S i S
senior guards; Orville
'
Bailey and Gregg Fiddes
for the Engineers, and Dave Adam and
Danny Croutier for the Danes. Well, the
four came to play that night. Each hit their
first shot of the game, giving notice that
this contest was going to be won or lost
depending on the guards. You already
know who lost.
For most of the game, Adam and
Croutier kept up their end of the bargain.
They shot a collective 13-for-21 from the
field, as opposed to WPI's senior duo's
13-for-28. But when the game got down to
the final few minutes, Albany's cocaptains were outshined by the heroics of
Bailey.
Bailey was a constant thorn in the
Danes' side, dribbling away from a futile
Albany press, finding an open teammate,
or hitting the jumper himself. Nothing the
Danes tried could deactivate Worcester's
main bomb.
"He's the key," said WPI coach Ken
Kaufman, referring to Bailey. When Kaufman took Bailey out of the game for a
well-deserved rest, the tri-captain said to
his coach, "I've been out too long,
coach." Thirty seconds later, Bailey was
back into the game.
"Shoot the ball, Orville," chanted the
Albany fans who made the two-hour trek
to Worcester. "Orville, shoot the ball." So
Orville shot the ball. Oh, did he ever shoot
the ball. When the Engineers needed a
basket to stay close to the Danes in the second half, Orville shot the ball. When his
team needed a basket to send the game into
overtime, Orville shot the ball.
"The senior guards did everything that
senior guards should do," said Kaufman.
"Our people know the ropes."
So do the guards from Albany. They
know what's expected of them during
crucial moments. With about 10 seconds
left in regulation and the score tied,
Croutier knew the designed play. With six
seconds left in overtime and Albany down
by one, Adam knew the designed play. Yet
neither player executed the play that could
have won the ballgamc.
Croutier was supposed to look to the
high post as he reached the top of the key.
Instead of passing off, Croutier took a
wild shot that missed everything.
"There was a set play for that situation," said Albany Head Coach Dick
Sauers. "Croutier's a four-year player; he
didn't wait for the play."
In overtime, Croutier passed the ball to
Adam in the corner. Adam was to have
passed the ball back to a cutting Croutier
inside, but passing wasn't on Adam's
mind. There wasn't any hesitation as
Adam put up a tough shot that didn't have
a prayer.
The funny thing is, you want these guys
shooting the ball when the Danes need a
basket. When Croutier tried that
ridiculous shot in regulation, there was a
sense of expectation that it would go in.
When Adam took that ill-advised shot in
overtime, the same sense existed.
According to Kaufman, the game came

According to Sauers, the key play in the
game was when Adam Ursprung was fouled going up for a dunk during a three-onone situation. Ursprung missed both his
free throws, giving WPI another chance
too many.
"We had our chances."
Did they ever have their chances.

WPI's coffin on several occasions, but
they failed to do so. They had that game in

Patience is a virtue, and women's track
coach Ron White is as virtuous as the next
guy. All through the indoor season, Coach
White has been working with a team that
dois not have enough bodies to be truly
competitive as a team.
Stellar individual efforts by women like
Anita Heath, Bene Dzamba, and Donna
Burnham have been enough to keep the
couch from withdrawing into a corner and
talking to himself. That, of course, and
Coach White's vision of the outdoor
season to come. The coach gets a bit starry
eyed when he speaks of the prospect of
coaching a whole team outdoors, but that
is understandable, given his frustration at
the turnout for the indoor season. Still, the
indoor season hasn't been without its
bright spots, and the State Championships
provided a few.
The name Belie Dzamba keeps coming
up, but that's only because she keeps running so well. Dzamba hud her finest day of
the season at the Suites, taking home the
championship in I he 5000 meters. She
bested the field in a time of 18:50.7, and
Couch White was very pleased. He said,
"Thai's her first really big collegiate win.
It was a real breakthrough for Belle."
Chris Valley also scored in the 5000, inking fifth place in a lime of 20:20.3,
Lynn Jacobs also reached buck for u liltle extra ni the Slates, In the 1500 meters,
Jacobs came in fourth in 4:57.4, her personal best. Subsequently, Jacobs captured
i -
third place in the 3000-meters in a time of
10:45.4. The coach remarked of Jacobs'
versatility, "To score in two events in the
conference championships is a pretty nice
achievement. Lynn is continuing to
improve."
Anita Heath continued in her role as
Albany's best indoor sprinter. Heath grabbed second place in the 300 meters with a
time of 44.9 seconds. Coach White mentioned that, while Heath has had to do all
the work in the sprints indoors, she would
have a lot of help when the outdoor season
begins. Although Patti Barrett didn't score
any team points in ttie 300 meters, she did
run the race in 46.9 which was her best effort of the season.
Heath and Barrett teamed with Roseannc Smith and Erma George for a
4:42.2 performance in the 4 x 400 relay
race. Barren ran her leg in 1:06, her best
yet, and Coach White was optimistic. He
said, "Patti has shown some real improvement indoors ihis year. We're looking forward to seeing her outdoors."
Certainly, the loss of Donna Burnham to
an injury didn't help the Danes loo much.
Donna, one of the year's steadiest performers, stayed home nursing a sore shin
fur the upcoming outdoor season. Burnham, Dzamba, and Heath have done
most of Albany's scoring this yeur and

Women cagers upset by Nazareth in ECACs

Dan Croutier ended a brilliant career in a disappointing fashion against WPI.
STUDENT
".
By defeating the top-seeded Albany
State women's basketball team 66-57
Saturday night, the Nazareth Golden
Flyers captured their second consecutive
ECAC upstate New YofkY Division III
championship.
Thus the season ended for the Danes in a
cloud of defeat rather than the preferred
perfect ending to their perfect season. The
week-long cloud, brought on by SUNYAC
champions, Buffalo State and ECAC
champions, Nazareth College, disappears
when considering this was the only dreary
period in the Danes' entire 84-85 season.
Nothing can take away their amazing 23-4
final record.,
The fact still remains that they lost to
Nazareth, who on Saturday night, simply
played a better ball game. Nazareth led for
a substantial portion of the game, the final
33 minutes to be exact.
"We did not play well," said Albany
Head Coach Mari Warner. "We came out
pretty stale and our offense was nonexistent. Basically, Nazareth was a better
team. They won that ball game fair and
square."
To get into the finals, Nazareth beat
RPI 77-63 on Friday night. The Golden
Flyers were up by 21' in the second ha:/,
but their lead dwindled slightly as Coach
Mike Decillis played all of his players for
at least four minutes.
In the finals, Nazareth broke out into
the first lead of the game by outscoring the
Danes 9-0 in a three minute spree. At the
13'/a minute mark of the first half, the
Golden Flyers went from down one to up
eight as Tira Lowe, fresh off the bench,
scored on a lay-up then a baseline jumper,
which was followed by two baskets and
one freethrow by Denise Hickey. That was
the last time the Danes would have the
lead. The Nazareth momentum continued
as they built an 11 point half-time.advantage, 34-23. nil
The Danes' defensive plan was to play a
2-1-2, packing in the key to try and keep
the ball from the inside, where Heidi Higgins, who scored 17 points the night
before; usually is found. The Danes
achieved what they set out to do, as Higgins, Jean Rasey and Eileen Bowes, the inside players for Nazareth, combined for 13

first half points.
What the Danes couldn't account for
was the 16 points on pure outside shooting
from players Kris Smith, who shot 3-6,
and Lowe, who shot 4-4.
"When we first came out we did a super
job on defense," said coach Warner. "We
were playing a packed 2-1-2, not allowing
the bail inside. I told them not to worry if
they score one or two from the outside. We
weren't sticking to what 1 wanted, which
was to pack Inside unless we were going
out on the shoulder. You can't leave
Nazareth just to shoot open shots, you
have to out on them."
In the second half, the Danes outscored
the Golden Flyers 34-32, which just wasn't
enough to make up for their first half
deficit.
With 5:33 remaining in the game,
Nazareth had its biggest lead at 57-38. The
Danes were now playing a jump and run
defense, which is a man to man type of
press. This defense, plus the better offensive play, drew Albany within six points.
As Kim Kosalek sank two freeihrows, ihe
Dane surge began. Rainny Lesane passed
inside to Kosalek for two more and followed that with an outside shot of her own, as
did Ronnie Patterson. With 57 seconds left
on the clock the Danes had cut ihe lead by
outscoring Nazareth 17-4. In the last five
minutes of the game, Kosalek scored 9 of
her 11 points. The Dane comeback wasn't
fast enough to outrun the clock as the
buzzer sounded with Nazareth ahead
66-57.
"It was too much too late," said
Warner. "Now the last seven minutes we
played ball. Offense was the problem, I
can't think our defense was that bad. I was
Ireal proud of our team in those last
minutes. We hadn't done that jump-run
defense in a long time. We converted on
Nazareth's mistakes, which we hadn't
done against Buff State."
The run and jump press was supposed to
catch Nazareth off guard and it did.
"That's the first time a pass bothered us,"
said Decillis. "For the last ten minutes we
hung on rather than played." This jump
and run press is tiring and can'l be played
for a whole half.
"We put on our run and jump press
which forced them to turnover," said
Lesane. "I think we should have done it at
the beginning of Ihe second half when we
were down and then we could have slowed
it up and put our offense together. It
worked good, but it was too late."
Although the Danes outrebounded the
Flyers 40-31, the Danes' offensive execution led to their problems. For Nazareth,
Hickey scored 10 points, Rasey scored 11,
and Kris Smith was high scorer with 15
points. Higgin was held to only 8 points,
while Lowe, who averages 1 Vi minutes a
game, scored 13 points shooting 6 for-6
from the field and one for-one from Ihe
freethrow line.
"I put Tina in because she's ihe quickest
girl on thc.ieam," said Decillis. "I wanted
her in there to guard Rainny. She wanted
to go in and play Ihe best player on the
other team."
High scorer for the Danes was Lori
Bayba scoring 16 points from ihe field.
Bayba was followed by Lesane wilh 14,
Kosalek with II and Patterson with 10,
which were all off the floor.
"I think we didn't Iry lo gel Ihe ball inside," said Kosalek. "We were relying on
our outside shooting more, but should
have relied on the middle more." lesane
agreed, "I don't even think 1 looked down'
low in the beginning."
The fact that Ihey hadn't played in a
week hurt the Danes as well, us did noi
playing the night before. "Whenever
you're off for a week it hurts," said
Warner. "I would have preferred playing
Friday night. Wehn you're in a championship game you want to play a game to earn
Ihe spot, granted all season long wc earned

Relay gives third to tracksters in SUNYACs
By Ian Clements
STAFF WRITER
The clutch performance of its
4x400-meter relay team enabled the
Albany State men's indoor track team to
squeeze into third place in the SUNYACs
held at Plattsburgh Saturday.
' Going into the next-to-last event, the
Danes trailed Buffalo State by one-half
point, and the relay found itself in the unfortunate position of having to run in the
slower unseeded heat.
Undaunted, the team of John Reilly,
Pat Saccocio (52.0), Ed Levy and Mike
Rlggins blew away the other teams in their
heat. They then watched as each team in
the seeded section, except Frcdonia, failed
to beat their time of 3:33.5. Buffalo State
finished ,07 seconds behind Albany. The
Danes moved ahead of the Bengals into
third In the team standings.
Albany clinched third in the final event,
the 4x800-meter relay, by placing fifth,
one position ahead of Buffalo State. The
team of Charles Blanchet, Ed McOlll.
Craig Parlato and Jim Erwin ran 8:25.9.
In the team battle, Fredonia had little
trouble claiming Its third consecutive title.
Their score of 173 was 71 points better
than Cortland's. The Danes scored 66
points, while Buffalo State had 63 '/i
points. There were nine teams entered In
the fifth annual meet.
The other "highlight" of the meet for
Albany, according to Coach Bob Munsey,
was the 3,000-mcter run, In which the
Danes scored 12 points, their highest total
for one event.
Again, the Purple had to overcome the
unseeded heat handicap. Freshman Patty
Paul (8:58.43) and junior Kevin Shcehan
(8:59.2) ran away from the field in the
"slow" section. They were able to score
because only three runners in the "fast"
section had quicker times. One of those
three was sophomore Tim Hoff. The
Bronx native placed third in 8:55.7, a time
less than two seconds shy of the state meet
qualifying standard.
Albany's only individual winner was
(surprise!) Marc Mercurio in the 35-pound
weight. The splendid senior tossed the
weight 50'I0", "not a very good throw,"
according to Munsey, but good enough to
beat his closest rival by almost two feet.
The easy victory was Mcrcurio's fifth in
six meets. He will face his stiffest competition of the season Friday when he, travels
to Bates College in Lewiston, Maine to
compete in the Division III nationals.
There, He will attempt to revenge his only
loss of the campaign (to Union's Scott
Remillard) and to win his first national
title.
"He's ranked third or fourth right now,
but that's a crazy thing, no one's that far
ahead of him," said Munsey. "He could
win it, he could finish third, I don't think
he'll be below third," Munsey added,
On the track, the Danes picked up two
third place medals from runners who have
been weakened by illness recently. John
Reilly battled that debilitating disease
known as "slow heat" to place third in the
400-meter run. Munsey called his split of
51,45, "a real breakthrough." Jim Erwin
also broke through. He lowered his best
1,500-meter time of the season by five
seconds in running 4:05.6 to qualify for
the state meet.
Sophomore Jack Glaser was fifth in the
1,500(4:14).
In one of the toughest fields of the day,
the 5,000-meter run, Ed McGill placed
fourth. The Charlestown native's time of
15:18.2 was his best of the season but was
far behind that of Cortland's Tim
Wunsch, who won in a blazing 14:47.6.
"Ed hasn't settled down to a real good
time yet," said Munsey, "he's not getting
in two hard practices each week and that's
hurting him."
Junior Bruce Van Tassel was Albany's
final scorer in the individual running
events. His time of 8.0 in the 55-meter high
hurdles was good enough for fifth.
Freshman Clinton Bell was not fast
enough to score in the 800-meter run
despite splitting 2:01.2.
The Dane distance medley skipped one
lap en route running a fine 10:16. Credit
for the errorf must go to the officials who
sent the anchormen onto the track one lap
too early.
"The Plattsburgh officials were
negligent and incompetent," charged
Albany's Tom Kucandes, whose
1,200-meter leg was shortened by Ihe
miscue. "They should never host a major
meet again," he added,
The Incident allowed Fredonia to move
closer to the Danes since Kucandes'
finishing kick was cut short. Parlato ran a
tough anchor leg but was unable Co withs-
tand ihe charge of Ihe Blue Devils' Kevin
Rumsey. Other Danes on the second place
squad were Dave Blelte (800-melers in
2:01.5) and Saccocio (400-metcrs in 52.0).
Newcomers Curl Wiedman and Pal
Dowling pole vaulted 13' and 12'6" to
finish fourth and sixth.
Albany also picked up a sixih in the triple jump, with Paul Mance leaping 43'10
1/4".
The Danes were hampered by a lack of
depth. They failed to score in seven of the
eighteen events.
That weakness may haunt them March
15 and 16 when they travel lo Cortland for
the stale meet. "I don't think we'll do well
.n the meet, team-wise," Munsey said.
The team discovered Saturday that a
meet they thought they had won was actually a loss.
Albany had "beaten" Plattsburgh on
February 16 because a Cardinal relay was
Jisqualified on the grounds that its anchorman wore a T-shirt under his uniform
top. Munsey and the Plattsburgh coach
had consulted a 1984 rulebook at the time.
When they checked the 1985 edition Saturday, they discovered that the rule had been
repealed and the controversial T-shirt was
legal.
Albany's amended dual meel record is
3-5.
The Danes cannot be charged with inconsistency. In the five indoor SUNYACs
that have been held so far, Albuny has
finished nowhere else but third.

Danes ousted by WPI
OT loss ends Final Four dream
By Jerry Camplone
SENIOR EDITOR
Worcester, MA.
"We had our chances."
That was all Albany State Head Coach
Dick Saucrs could say following his team's
58-57 overtime loss to Worcester
Polytechnic Institute in Friday night';
first-round NCAA playoff game.
The loss ended what had been one of th<
most successful seasons ever for the
Danes, a season that included 21 wins,
highlighted by number 500 for Sauers. But
once again, Albany came up empty in the
NCAAs.
With just over five minutes remaining ir,
regulation and the Danes leading 49-46,
Adam Upsprung went to the free throw
line for two shots and a chance to up the
Danes lead to five. But Upsprung missed
both shots and set the stage for what was
to come.
Those two missed free throws, plus two
more down the stretch, spelled doom for
the Danes. With less than a minute left and
Albany clinging to a one-point lead, Dave
Adam went to the line to, presumably, put
the game away for Albany. But Adam, a
91 percent foul-shooter over the season,
missed his first shot and gave WPI another
chance.
After Adam hit his second shot, the
Engineers stormed down court and tied the
game with just 13 seconds remaining. The
Danes had one more shot, but missed the
mark and the game went to overtime, tied
at 54.
For WPI, this would be their fourth
overtime game, having won three during
the season, but for Albany, overtime was a
new experience.
Although the engineers controlled the
jump ball, they qttickly turned it over am1
Albany had the chance to strike first. Rich
Chapman, who played a clutch role coming off the bench, went to the free throw
line and hit his first shot. But he missed the
second, and the Danes were only up by
one.
After WPI tied it on a foul shot, Chapman hit again, but the Engineers erased
that lead as well. With less than one
minute remaining, Adam again went to the
line with a chance to put Albany in front
and again, the "free-throw jinx" struck.
Adam missed the shot and WPI rebounded the bail and, following a foul by
Dan Croutier, Greg Fiddes went to the line
and hit his first shot, putting the Engineers
up for good.
"The key play was when we came up
empty when Upsprung got fouled and we
didn't score a point," said a dejected
Sauers after the game. "Dave [Adam]
missed some big foul shots," he added.
"This was a game certainly worthy of ar
NCAA tournament," said WPI Head
Coach Ken Kaufman. "We hung in there
at every crucial time,"
Like Buffalo State in the SUNYACs,
WPI came out playing a zone defense,
which usually gives Albany trouble. "I
heard that they'd rather play against a
man-to-man defense," said Kaufman,
"This was the first game that we started in
a zone and stayed with it."
But Albany did manage to pull WPI out
of their zone and Sauers said, "Once we
got them to man-to-man 1 thought we
could execute. Instead, we were all
thumbs."
Another thorn in Albany's side was the
play of WPI's star guard Orville Bailey.
Bailey hit for 22 points and played 43 of
the game's 45 minutes. "We can't stop
Bailey," said Saucrs. Kaufman called

Endless hours of practice, years of sacrifice, and an incredible amount of selfdiscipline paid off for Andy Seras last weekend.
Last Saturday night, the Albany State senior took the title that had eluded him in
three previous attempts, that of the NCAA Division III champion. Seras' victory also
qualified him for the Division I NCAAs, which will be held in Oklahoma City March
14-16.
Seras' outstanding performance was the bright spot in an otherwise dismal Dane;
showing. Albany State finished up 13th overall?-None of the other Albany qualifiers
made it past the quarter-finals, including All-American Shawn Sheldon and last year'sNCAA champion at 126 pounds, Dave Avcrill.
"We brought Albany's best team ever to the NCAAs," said John Balog, who
qualified at 134, "but we did the worst we've done in four or five years.".
Disappointment was especially bitter for Sheldon and Averill, both of whom won
their first matches, lost their second, and were eliminated in the third round.
"I was terrible. 1 just wrestled terrible," said Sheldon of his performance. "I wrestled bad, I had a very bad day."
Averill summed up his feelings succinctly, "I'm depressed. It was definitely an offday for me. Some days when you get up you feel great, on others you don't feel so hot.
For me, that was definitely one of those days. I beat the kid that made it into the finals
so I'm pretty depressed. It's frustrating to know I could have done better, there are no
excuses."
'
Balog was also disappointed by his performance.' After winning his first match, 8-5,
he narrowly lost the second, 9-8.
'
"I didn't start wrestling until the third period," said Balog. "I'm upset that I didn't
place, it was possible because of the way I was seeded, but I didn't do it."
:
Also representing the Danes were Jim Fox (146), and Sandy Adeistelrr-(177).
"Sandy really suffered a heartbreaker," said Coach Joe DeMeo. "He lost his firsts
match to the guy who wer on to place fourth in the tournament. If the wrestler who
defeated him had won his semi-final match, Sandy would have been back in the tournament, but he lost on a very controversial call."
.
DeMeo was very pleased with Fox's showing. Fox lost his first match in overtime,
then rebounded to win in the second round. In his third match, however, he faced this
year's SUNYAC champion, and narrowly lost, 2-1.
"Jim wrestled a great match," said DeMeo. "He was leading thirty seconds into
overtime in the first round when he made one small mistake, but other than that he did
a really great job. Both he and Balog were terrific"
Then there was Seras.

A number of University officials and students are awaiting a
decision as to whether the Hotel
Wellington will be available as a
student housing alternative next
semester.
According to Roz Robinson, a
spokesperson for the hotel's
management, the present owners
are "negotiating and deliberating
the future of the Wellington to
find the best avenue market-wise.
SUNYA housing will depend on
this decision."
Director of Residential Life
and Student Development John
Martone said the Wellington was
sold to developers who "aren't
particularly interested in the hotel
business." These developers, Dr.
Michael Blase and his son, bought
the hotel from the city last
September and have continued
normal operation, although they
are not sure how they will operate
it in the future, said Martone.
Although the number of
students living there fluctuates
each semester, the Wellington
presently houses about 140
students, and Martone said the
hotel "has been a very positive
thing as a referral for students for
eight years."
The Wellington is currently
divided into two parts, said
Robinson. The front part
operates as a regular hotel and the
back part, the Student Annex,
serves as housing for SUNY
students and interns from the
legislature.
As for students wishing to live
at the Wellington next year, Martone said "we expect a decision

whether they will be operating the

Fiddles also played a good game for
WPI, playing the entire 45 minutes and
scoring 9 points. "Our senior guards did
everything you'd expect them to do," said
Kaufman.
For Albany, Croutier had 16 points and
six assists. Adam had 11 points and Chapman came off the bench to score nine, including three in overtime.
"We didn't get much out of Greg Hart
or Pete Qosule," said Sauers, pointing out
that the big men were crucial to the Dane
game plan. Also lacking in the scoring column was the Danes leading scorer Adam
Upsprung. Upsprung was averaging 14.2
points per game coming into the action,
but hit for just four points. He did,
however, grab eight rebounds.
The Danes went into the lockeroom at
halftime trailing 33-30, but when they
came out for the second half, they looked
like the Danes of old, quickly capitalizing
on Engineer mistakes and turning the
momentum in their favor.

Complaints'of long waits for two tew buses
By Donna MacKenzie
Significant numbers of students polled
don't seem to be impressed with the operation of the University's bus system, announced Student Action Committee
Research Chair Larry Hartman at
Wednesday night's Central Council
meeting.
"Eighty-one percent of the students
polled were not satisfied with the system as
it is now," Hartman said, basing his figure
on a 500 rider survey conducted recently
over a two week period.
Students were asked to say how often
they rode the buses and whether or not
they were satisfied with the system.
Students who ride the buses the most
often were the least satisfied with service,
and complained that better schedules are
needed, that buses are not on time, that
there are not enough buses, and that the
buses are too crowded. Fifty percent of the
respondents said they ride the buses 10
times or more each week but were not
satisfied with current service.
Eight percent of the total surveyed said
they rode the buses at least ten times a
week and were satisfied with the service,
and cited the reliability, frequency, advantageous stops, and fair prices of the buses.
Overall, 72 percent of the students who
ride the buses between 0 and 5 times per
week were dissatisfied, 76 percent of those
who ride the bus between 5 and 10 times a
week were dissatisfied, and 86 percent of
.those who ride the bus over 10 times a
week were dissatisfied, said Hartman.
"The major complaints weft that there
were not enough buses on the weekends,
that buses were not on time, the buses were
too crowded and that bus tickets were not
sold downtown," said Hartman. Student
Action Committee Chair Steve Gawley
and SA Vice President Suzy Auletta urge
any students who have complaints to make
them known.
Referendum
An amendment to the Student Association's (SA) constitution, requiring that a
two-thirds majority of Central Council
members present must override the veto of
the President of the Student Association,
failed to pass by a vote of 16 to 10.
The amendment would have been
presented to the student body for approval
as Referendum number 2 in the upcoming
spring elections if it had passed.
Financial Aid
Gawley, along with Academic Affairs
Committee Chair Mike Miller, announced
a letter writing campaign against President
Reagan's proposed financial aid cuts, to
be started next week. The campaign will be
held on the dinner lines at Alumni Quad
on March 10, at Dutch and Colonial
