Student activity fees can now be raised to as high as $120 per year as the
result of a decision to hike the fee's cap
by 20 percent by SUNY Central.
However, one SUNYA Student
Association official said there was little
chance the University's fee would be
increased.
Harry Charlton, a spokesman for
SUNY Central, said that the decision
was a result of a letter sent by Susan
Wray, president of Stale University Student Association to SUNY Chancellor
I Clifton Wharton.

Weekend forum catered to minority needs
By David Werthelm
STAFF WRITSR
About 30 Puerto Rican high school
students from New York City got a taste of
SUNYA as part of a Fuerza Latina sponsored event Saturday.
Minorities often make up only very
small percentages of the student body, and
so many schools have been initiating
recruitment programs aimed at minority
students in recent years.
"it's a good feeling to have you up
here," said Fuerza Latina member Lily
Romero, "we hope that we have some influence on your decision about college."
Influence came in many forms at the
"Open House." Morning activities included a campus tour, and lunch a! Dutch

Many of the students said that they will
have problems affording the cost of college. Lois Tripp, Director of Minority
Recruitment, talked about financial aid
with a focus on the Educational Opportunities Program (EOP), "If you'quallfy
for EOP," said Tripp, "your freshman

Trade deficit grows
The trade homorrhage has been so
severe it is almost certain that sometime
early this year the United States became a
net debtor country for the first time in 71
years, government analysts said. The last
time the United States was a net debtor
was in 1914, when Americans owed $3.7
billion more to foreigners than was owed
to them.
The figures released by the Commerce
Department Monday revealed that
Americans' net investments overseas had
dwindled to $32 billion by the end of the
year, down from $104 billion when 1984
started. Analysts said this cushion has
almost certainly been wiped out by now,
although confirmation will not come for
three months.
The information on net bebt is contained in the current account balance — the
broadest measure of U.S. foreign trade.
The current account measures not only

With the first of two Senate votes on the

Attica, NY
(AP) Inmates helped avert a potentially

the weekend by assisting three guards who
had been attacked by a prisoner, according
to a prison spokesman.
An unidentified C-block inmate lunged
at a guard with a homemade knife at about
8:00 p.m. Saturday night and then beat
thrie guards with one of their own
nightsticks, state Department of Correctional Services spokesman Jim Flateau
said Sunday.
Another inmate began to assist one of

Israel denies role
New York
(AP) Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres
denied his country has anything to do with
uprisings by Lebanese Christians against
the government of President Amin
Gemayel, and said the Israeli withdrawal
from Lebanon should be completed in "a
matter of weeks."
"We are on our way out not only from
the land of Lebanon but from the politics
of Lebanon," he said on the CBS-TV program "Face the Nation," broadcast
Sunday.
"The real problem is of an operational
nature — namely, how long will it take our
Army to withdraw from Lebanon in an
orderly manner. I think it is a matter of
weeks, no more," he said.
Peres expressed astonishment at attacks
by Shiite Moslems, saying "Strangely
enough, they don't fight the occupiers
(Syrians) but they fight the people who are
trying to return their freedom to them."

PREVIEW OF EVENTS'
By Patrick J. Paul
Food budgets, heating, and the Grouper
Law were among a long list of topics
discussed at last Thursday's Off-Capmus
Workshop aimed at answering students
questions about the move off campus.
The workshop, which was conducted by
Director of the Off Campus Housing Office Karleen Karlson and Off Campus
Association member Rob Fishkin, was the
culmination of Off Campus Awareness
week.
A primary concern of th the workshop
was the Grouper Law, which according to
Karlson, "Will impact about 400 students
and have a genuine impact oh rents."
This law forbids more than three
unrelated persons living in the same dwelling. Only students who are above the three
person limit will be evicted, said Karlson, a
scenario she said she feels will "poison
friendships."
Students at the meeting posed many
questions as to how the city would be able
to identify students living in violation of
the law. Karlson responded, "The city has
a wide variety of means which they will
begin implementing this spring." Some of
these include asking neighbors about the
number of students living in the apartment
and asking also about the number of cars.
Fishkin added that another method
which will be used is a list of houses which
are likely to be in violation, which is held
by Director of the Albany Bureau of Code
"Relations between„
off-campus students
and SUNY are rapidly
improving."

Enforcement, Mike Alvaro. According to
Fishkin, a number of certificates of Occupation (C.O.'s) which state that an
apartment is suitable for residence were
issued by the city within the last 10 years.
Therefore, he said, the city is aware of
apartment sizes and prime possibilities for
violation.
Although Fishkin said that C.O.'s were
good in that they established suitable conditions, he did not recommend them to
students planning to live in violation of the
grouper law, since this would be "inviting
trouble."

recycling program during the 1980-81 school year according to former NYPIRG chair Alicia Schwartz, who is
now a legislative aid.
"The venture never materialized into a full-scale recycling project," said Schwartz, adding "we had significant
trouble, a large part in picking up the papers."
"We applied to get bins" for collecting the newspaper,
said Schwartz, "But we got them late in the semester" in
1981.
"Any business needs time to build up," maintained
Schwartz. "We just didn't have that time — it was too
late in the school year to get going."
NYPIRG's newspaper recycling project was discontinued after the 1982-83 school year, due to excessive expenditures. Schwartz said the high cost of transporting
the paper to the Port of Albany, where it would be recycled, was the reason for the discontinuing of the project.
Junior Adam Gershon, a TA in the Computer Science
Department, said "I don't think the Administration is
concerned with recycling the printouts,"
When asked if he knew about the pile of printout to be
recycled at the Dispatch window, Gershon said, "I
thought that was for scrap paper."
Gershon added, "If there was a box in the user room, I
would use it to recycle my printouts."

was economic feasibility. Karlson said,
"There are still some humane landlords

Man, which costs $135 a semester and permits a student to eat up to $2.25 worth of
food in the Campus Center or unlimited
food in each of the five quad cafeterias
five days a week.
In looking for an apartment, Fishkin
said he felt that the level of maturity of
housemates, was a vital factor. Other factors to consider are whether an apartment
was furnished or unfurnished, insulation,
water pressure, utilities, cleanliness, hazardous fire conditions and proximity to the
bus line.
Karlson said that a major source of problems concerned heating and advised that
it should be discussed before renting and
while choosing apartment mates: She added that her office was available to answer
any further questions and for "any kind of
assistance."

Greenpeace International representative Mark Osten
spent last week tabling in the Campus Center trying to
spark interest in a SUNYA chapter. In addition to selling
many T-shirts and lots of buttons and bumperstickers, he
also collected over 70 names of people interested in working in a University chapter,
"The Greenpeace ethic is to take direct, non-violent action to prevent atrocities against life," states a
Greenpeace New England newsletter. Established in 1971,
the group has bases in fifteen countries.
Currently, Greenpeace wants to get college students
more involved with its cause. It has already enlisted the
help of Corne|l University, University of New Hampshire, and University of Indiana at Pennsylvania among
others and would like to start a branch al SUNY Albany,
said Osten.
Universities being considered in the future include
Syracuse, SUNY Binghamtom and Unversity of Vermont. Greenpeace hopes to incorporate as many universities in the Northeastern area as possible, he added.
Greenpeace will be holding an informational meeting in
late April,.Osten said, adding that the details will be announced on posters put up around campus. If there is sufficient interest, Osten said, he hopes to be working on
campus next fall.
While Greenpeace's strategy in dealing with environmental issues has three parts — Direct Action,
Education, and Fundraising — only Education and Fundraising will be carried out on campuses, Osten said.
Education, he explained, includes research on such
areas as toxic dump sites or ucid rain, as well as films and
informational pamphlets to make the public aware of
Issues. Education also includes lobbying.
Greenpeace receives a major part of its financial backing from its merchandise sales. Osien said thousands of
dollars have been raised at tables at Ithaca, much like (he
one Osten had set up at SUNYA.
Direct Action, Osten said, involves slightly more
dangerous tactics. Greenpeace volunteers try to nopviolently stop actions harming the environment. They dye

S. Korean students are democratic catalysts
By Charles Coon
} v
STAFF WHITER
While some people contend that student
activism is dying in the United States, college students in South Korea have been a
leading force in the campaign for
democracy in that country, according to
David Easter, a staff member of the
Albany based Committee for a New Korea
Policy.
Easter cited an example where students'
flexing their collective muscle overturned a
rule imposed on them by the authoritarian
Korean President Chun Doo Hwan.
In the fall of 1984, students at three top
universities in South Korea decided they
wanted an elected student government.
However, the Student Defense Corps, an
ROTC-like outfit, according to Easter,
was the only student organization allowed
to exist, and members were appointed by
professors.
The students, from Seoul National,
Yonsei and Korea Universities, boycotted
final exams in protest. Soldiers then actually pushed the students into the
classrooms. Still the students refused to
take the exams, he said, adding the government eventually backed down and student
government elections took place shortly
thereafter.
"The remarkable thing is that (the
students) maintained their solidarity over
an entire week," Easter said.
Easter spoke last Wednesday night in
HU 27. His discussion, "The U.S. Role in
Korea," was the second of four presentations sponsored by the Democratic
Socialists of America (DSA) on foreign
policy issues.
In South Korea's February elections,
student power led the strong gust of the
new opposition party which won sixtyseven of the 276 total seats in the Korean
National Assembly, he said.
The New Korea Democratic Party was.

formed only one month before the
February 12th elections. It was formed by
oppostion politicians who, until recently,
were banned by the Chun government,
Easter explained.
Other oppostion parties and independents won sixty seats. Chun's ruling
Democratic Justice Party garnered onehundred forty-eight seats, three less than
in the 1981 elections.
Chun's party won just over thirty-five
percent of the popular vote while newly
formed New Korera Democratic Party got
twenty-nine percent. Over eighty-four percent of the eligible voters voted, the
highest turnout since 1960, but according
to Easter, "The way the election is set up,
Chun's party willalways have a majority
(of the Assembly seats)."
The New York Times reports that opposition forces said after the election they
would try to form a broad legislative coalition against the Chun government.
The Times also says that the National
Assembly is not so much an effective
legislative body as a forum for grievances.
It does not guide decisions made at the
Blue House, the presidential residence.
In any case, the new National Assembly
will be a noisier place when it convenes in
April.
At about the same time in April that the
Assembly regroups, South Korean President Chun will be meeting in Washington
with U.S. President Reagan. Also in April,
Korean college students arrive back in
school after a lengthy recess. This spring,
the campus opposition plus more vocal
legislative opposition equals a new test of
the Chun government's tolerance to
dissent.
The U.S. has supported Chun since he
gained power in early 1980, filling the void
left by the October, 1979 assassination of
President Park Chung Hee, who had servjed in that capacity since 1961.
Before Park, Syngman Rhee • ruled
Seoul, having been handpicked by the U.S.
after World War II. Chun, Park and Rhee
have all been autocratic rulers, Easter said,
adding the U.S. supports the South
Korean govaernment for ecqnomic and
military advantages.
"First, it is because of our economic interests — low wages, ho strikes allowed
and $10 billion trade per year," said
Easter, "Second, the U.S. wants to keep
military bases in South Korea."
"I do not think these (40,000) troops are
necessary to defend South Korea," said
Easter. "Both South and North Korea
have huge military forces, and South
Korea has twice the military-age population to draw from. South Korea also has a
• stronger economy;"
The 40,000 U.S. troops are the only
foreign troops in the Koreas, according to
Easter.
According to Easter, the U.S. has "had
no serious talks with any of the opposition's representatives."
Easter's organization would like to see
the reunification of the two Koreas.
"After visiting North Korea, I believe a
reunification will be possible. There are
more similarities than differences (between
North and South Koreas)," said Easter.
North Korea "is no longer a puppet of
Russia. They are closer to China
diplomatically," he added.
The DSA is sponsoring two more discussions on U.S. foreign intervention. On
Wednesday, March 20th the topic is Chjle
and a week later South Africa will be
discussed.

SUNYA bus loading passengers at Administration Clrole
In the last few weeks, there have been up to live bus breakdowns at a time.
Absent Wellington detains riders
By Pam Schusterman
STAFF WRITER
Midterm exams were not the only problem that
SUNYA offcampus students had to face the morning of Tuesday, March 12.
The 8:40 a.m. Wellington bus never showed up
that day, causing delays for over fifty students.
"I had a mid-term exam at 9:43 and planned to
take the 8:40, rather than the 9:05, to give me time
to sit in the cafeteria and go over.my notes," said
one student.
"By the time the 9:05 came late, there were so
many people at Lark Street and so many on the bus
from the Wellington that I was unable to board,"
he added.
This was not the first time that there were problems with the Wellington, according to another
student. "I often wait an hour and a half in awful
weather for the bus that is scheduled to come every
half hour," she said.
However, Assistant Vice President for Facilities,
Dennis Stevens, disagreed, saying that the bus
system is run as a business, and one that is efficient.
The problem last Tuesday, according to Stevens
can be attributed to a breakdown of bus number 45,
which is usually used on the 8:40 run.
"The bus experienced a breakdown entailing a
broken accelerator spring and a frayed accelerator
cable which occurred on the 7:40 run," Stevens
said.
He explained that the vehicle operation center
was notified within a half an hour and bus number
44 was redirected toward the Wellington.
However, when students who had walked up to
the downtown campus asked the driver of an Alumni bus to use his radio to alert the dispatcher of the
problem the driver wouldn't help.
"The driver refused to use his radio saying that
he had instructions not to use his radio except for
important messages," one student said.
Stevens explained that although a bus was
redirected, it didn't make it to the Wellington stops
until 9:30. "By the time the bus got through traffic
and all the way down to the Wellington the 8:40 bus
was definitely missed," he said.
"In my opinion the driver not calling was an error in judgement and the driver was counseled on
this," Stevens said.
However, he explained that the driver calling
wouldn't have made a difference because the vehicle operation center had already been notified.
"We did fill in the run but not in enough time, we
did miss the run and there is no excuse for that,"
Stevens said.
This incident has triggered a change in policy for
the Wellington bus run, he said.
"We now have the number of a pay phone at the
Lark Strteet bus stop and the agreement is that if we
know a bus will not be making a run we will call the
students and warn them," Stevens said.
At the present time there are 16 buses in the fleet,
including one twenty two passenger bus. However
in the last few weeks there have been up to five bus
breakdowns at a time, Stevens said.
"We regulate thirteen buses at peak time, so if
there are more than two buses out we miss runs,"
he stated.
He also explained that at the time the University
is leasing two buses from local companies to avoid
missing runs.
"These buses are very expensive, the yellow bus
costs $100 a day and the white bus costs $75 a day,"
he noted.

Four, distinguished Puerto
Rican Writers and two critics
of Puerto Rican literature addressed an audience of about
ISO people, including many
native Puerto Ricans, in a
panel discussion entitled "The
Island and the World" in the
Assembly Hall Friday
afternoon.
The discussion was part of
the New York State Writers'
Institute's Puerto Rican
Writers Festival, last Thursday
and Friday, a two day event
which celebrated Puerto Rican
literature, culture, and politics.
Dr. Edna Acosta-Belen,
chair of SUNYA's Puerto
Rican, Latin American and
Caribbean Studies Department, moderated the discussion. "Puerto Rican literature
has been slighted and ignored
by literary critics in Latin
America and the United
States," said Acosta-Belen in
her opening statements, and
"has often been considered too
concerned with the political
status of Puerto Rico."
The writers taking part in the
discussion, said Acosta-Belen,
have demonstrated clearly that
"good art does not necessarily
have to detach itself from
social reality."
The first speaker on the
panel, Luis Rafael Sanchez,
was described by Acosta Belen
as "the master of the new
generation of Puerto Rican
prose writers." Sanchez is currently a professor of Hispanic
Studies at the University of
Puerto Rico. He asked that his
translator, Diana Velez, read
his essay "The Heart of
Mystery" because he had the
flu.
In his essay, Sanchez speaks
of the art of writing literature
and the limitless power of
words. "Terror fdled and terrible is the act that tries to irrippse order on the limitless
space of the imaginary," read
Velez.
Rosario Ferre, considered to
be one of Puerto Rico's leading
women writers, was the second
speaker on the panel. In her
presentation, entitled "The
Writer's Kitchen," Ferre told
the audience of the difficulties
she confronted in trying to
write her first story, or, -as she
put it, "how I brought about
my fall from the pan into the
fire of literature."
Like S a n c h e z , Ferre's
presentation revealed the
author's belief in the ultimate
power of words and literature.
"1 write to convince myself
that what I love will endure,"
said Ferre.
Efrain Barrada, associate
professor at the University of
Massachusetts-Boston and a
specialist in Hispanic literature,
joined the writers. "We are the
critics, the hunters of
literature," said Barradas. In
his presentation, Barradas
discussed the similarities in the
presentations of Sanchez and
Ferre, noting that both writers
rely almost blindly on words,
exhibit boldness in their use of
words and assume the world as
their own.
Pedro Juan Soto, a writer
best known in the United States
for his collection of short
stories, Spiks, followed Barradas with his presentation
"The Writer as Hunter." The
author is always in search of
the self as well as in search of
society, said Soto. "Creative
writing seldom delays in
employing the author's own experiences with regard to the
society he is part of," he said.
Emilio Diaz Valcarcel, currently a teacher of literature
and creative writing at the
Metropolitan Unviersity College in Puerto Rico, was the
fifth speaker on the panel.
Valcarcel asked that his
translator, Judith Cofer, read
his presentation "The Writer in
Puerto Rico."
Valcarcel's essay spoke
vehemently on the topic of the
Puerto Rican identity crisis: a
crisis Valcarcel believes to be a
result of the colonial relations'
Multitude of issues eyed in legislative program
By Leslie C h i F ^ f ?
STAFF WRITE*
Students across New York are working
on a variety of issues as part of NYPIRG's
recently released 1985 Legislative
Program.
NYPIRd, (New York Public Interest
Research Group), the largest 'consumer
protection and environmental organization in New York State, is planning or has
started work on such issues as proper
higher education funding, making sure low
Income families receive electricity, controlling cigarette smoking in public, and
the rights of patients to see their medical
records. More than 100 proposals are
covered within NYPIRG's program.
The State Superfund, designed to provide the money needed to clean up toxic
dumps is one of the projects SUNYA student Walt Simmons is working on. The
fund is now bankrupt and must be
strengthened and revitalized, he said, adding that "Governor Cuomo has a bill that
has been put through Committee for the
use of up front taxes on new chemical production around Ihe state." He explained
that charging up front taxes on toxic
wastei manufactured In NY Is more efficient than the current system.
Hit Job, he laid, It "organizing environmental groups," which can be corn-

"Power Is In every citizen's hands."
posed of "anyone concerned with toxic
waste," said Simmons. Some local environmental groups are the Human Service
Planning Council, the League of Women
Voters, and other community groups, he
explained.
Paul Herrick, NYPlRO't Assistant
Legislative Director, said, Toxics on Tour,
a program begun by students, chose three
toxic landfills to look at. By doing so,
"people got a sense of what a waste dump
looks and smells like," said Herrick. This
is a way of bringing home issues to more
people, he added.
Herrick said, "We're trying to get these
issues down to a common ground where
people can understand them. First hand
experience is really helpful."
Mike Oil, a student at SUNYA, is working on the Toxic Victims Access to Justice
Campaign. NYP1RG is working to make it
possible for victims of toxic poisoning to
have the chance to sue chemical companies
for damages. Toxic chemicals usually take
10 to 30 years to show up as a disability,
but current state law requires victims to
sue within three years of the time they are
exposed or else forfeit all chances for
reimbursement.
The new law would allow victims two
years from the date of discovery of their illness. There would also be a revival clause,
stating that "victims who have known
they've been ill, have one year to sue from
the date the law is enacted," said Oil, to
protect people who have already
discovered their illnesses.
"Currently forty-three states have this
clause and it doesn't make sense not to
have it (in NY). We want a broad based
bill that will open up the courts to aid victims," he said.
If students want to get involved with environmental issues, they can join
NYPIRG, said Simmons. Herrick said
students interested in certain issues who
want to see things done about them can
also "write to their legislators. It can have
an effect."
"The real difficulty is thai many of the
issues are a closed process," said Herrick,
adding "the legislature doesn't pursue
basic input that it could from Ihe average
citizen."
"This year is the year that it's (Toxic
Victims) going to go through," promised
Oil. The issue has now been passed by the
State Assembly four years in a row.
"If we can get a handful of these
reforms passed, we'll be satisfied," said
Herrick, noting that traditionally
NYPIRG's student run Board of Directors
picks a few priority issues each year.
"If people decide on an issue they care
about, they can get Involved. The basic
start Is for people to write to their
legislators," said Herrick, "Power is in
every citizens' hands to change things.
Government is as good u the people want
It to be."

State Quad airband contest results cause
spectators' accusations of biased judging

Student leaders juggle class, work, social lives
STAFF WRITER
It may have been advertised as " t h e sickest airband ever," but apparently most people were just
disgusted at last Saturday's State Quad Board Airband II Party.
Several people who attended the contest said that
one of the contest's three judges voted the way she
did because friends were on one team, and even
members of the winning band expressed surprise at
the decision.
According to Lina Malatesta, a resident assistant
on State Quad and a member of one of the bands
entered, " t h e judging was unfair and dishonest
because one of the judges was very good friends
with the winning group."
,
" I ' m not angry because we didn't come in first
place, but the group that did place first certainly
didn't deserve t o , " she said. "The crowds were appalled by the results, they were screaming and using
vulgarity towards the judge that announced the
winners." she added.
Terri Corallo, president of State Quad Board,
agreed that the audience was not pleased with the
results, but added, " T h e crowd can't always be
pleased with the results of a judged contest."
The contest judges, Jackie Bernstein, sophomore
class president and previous special events chair for
State Quad, Eric Scwartzman, former State Quad
Board treasurer, and Howie Lindenbaum, present
State Quad Board treasurer were picked to judge
the contest because of their work with Quad Board.
" I tried to pick judges that were affiliated with
State Quad and that I thought could b e objective,"
Corallo said.
The bands competed for prizes of fifty, thirty,
and twenty dollar certificates to the record Co-op
with first prize going to the group " T h e Time,"
which performed Jungle Love.
According to Lindenbaum, "There was not a set
system on how to pick the winner . . . we just
eliminated groups, then from the remaining ones
picked which we (the judges) felt the best group
was." He added, " W e talked it out until we came
to a mutual agreement."
However, Malatesta disagreed, saying one of the
judges had more input than the others. " I feel the
judging was weighted unfairly and the judge that
had the most pull was good friends with the
group."
Bernstein disagreed, saying, "Eric, Howie and I
all had a third of a pick, the fact that I knew those
guys had no bearing," she said.
Bernstein explained that she had friends in all the
groups and that had no influence on her decision.
" I have friends in groups that did not even place,"
she said.

" / took it personally that the audience wasn't happy."
" I just looked for what I thought was good and I
had no more authority than the other two judges,"
Bernstein stated.
Scwartzman agreed, explaining, " W e all discussed it equally, Jackie had no more say than Howie or
myself." He also said neither he nor Lindenbaum
were friends with the winning group.
However, according t o Bruce Putterman, an
R.A. on State Quad and a member of the group
"Berlin," the judging was not objective. " I felt
there were groups that were really good that didn't
even place." The Jackson Five group was outstanding and even made their own costumes, lie added.
According to Pat DeCosta, a member of the winning band, the members were surprised when they
won. " W e only practiced six hours and we didn't
expect to win," he said.
DeCosta, a friend of Bernstein's, said their
friendship had nothing to do with the results. " I
didn't know either of the other judges and I don't
:
think she had more of a pull," he said:
i
Bernstein, taken aback at the accusation, said, " I
don't like being attacked personally for my decision
because I feel I was objective."
"There has never been a set system before, but
perhaps this should be changed," Lindenbaum
said.
" I took it personally that the audiene wasn't happ y , " Bernstein said. "Maybe the next time we
should have an audience-judged contest so it will be
more of their decision.''
O
Sexism found worse out of class
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE College
women find "even worse" campus sexism outside the classroom
than they do in classes, a major
college group claims.
Discrimination against female
college students by male faculty
and a d m i n i s t r a t o r s extends
beyond the classroom and may be
more career-damaging than inclass sex bias, the group's new
report charges.
In fact, sex discrimination in
financial aid offices, and in career
counseling and employment
centers can cause women to "lose
confidence, lower their academic
goals and limit their career
choices," study authors Roberta
M. Hall and Bernice R. Sandler
claim.
The study, sponsored by the
Association of American Colleges' Project on the Status and
Education of Women, follows the
same authors' earlier examination
of college classroom sex bias.
It revealed "things are even
worse outside the classroom,"
when class rules no longer apply.
Hall said.
The earlier study charged male
faculty favored male students in
classroom situations, Hall noted.
The new report found career
and academic counselors also
often unconsciously discourage
women from taking certain maledominated majors, and consider
men more knowledgeable and
career-minded.
Counselors and professors also
spend less time with women
students than with men outside
the classroom, and give less encouragement to women who seek
leadership positons on campus,
the study showed.
"Younger women may enter
college expecting equal treatment," Hall explained, "and
young women who have never
been employed in the workforce
are very apt not to be aware of the
differential treatment. But they're
more likely to be demoralized by
it."
"Most 18-year-old girls don't
know what happened with the
women's movement in the sixties
and seventies," agreed Florence
Hall, educator and founder of
New York's Feminist Press. "It's
also true most 18-year-old males
don't know what's going on. The
results of the survey didn't come
as a surprise to m e . "
"But it's fascinating that in
1983 we're seeing a recurrence of
some of the. all-too-famlllar attitudes that the women's movement faced in the sixties," she
continued. " I t ' s easy to slip
back."
While older women students
often are more sensitive to sexist
behavior, and are consequently
better able to survive it, study
a u t h o r Hall warned subtle
cliscriminationcan discourage
them, too.
"Returning women students
very often have given a great deal
of thought to their situation, like
career plans and ways in which
their sex has held them back,"
whe explained. "But it cuts both
ways."
If a severe problem persists,
such as financial or counseling
discrimination, students should
use campus grievance procedures
or adminiatrative channels, Hall
advised.
"The earlier study sparked a
number of campus-based
workshops, programs and conferences focusing on these
issues," she said.
"The schools that were more
concerned about women did their
own studies, and found students
commenting on the chilly climate
for w o m e n o u t s i d e t h e
classroom," Hall noted.
The comments led to the new
study, she said.

This semester is especially difficult said Auletta since she is taking 17 credits to complete her concentration in psychology and
sociology.
Besides being vice president of
SA, Auletta is chair of the Student Affairs Council of the
University Senate, and also holds
down a job three nights a week
bartending at the Irish Pub.
" I ' m not at S.A. as much as I'd
like to b e , " she said. As far as her
courses go, she admitted that she
gets the work done but has " t o

Her professors have been

midterms, she said, a professor is

weekends. According to Schaffer,
he has taken 12 credits per
semester towards a major in
political science since becoming
S.A. president in the Fall of 1983.
"At first it was tough juggling
classes, S.A. work, and a personal life, but I'm used to it
now," Schaffer said.
"Professors give me no special
treatment," he added, although
occasionally, professors have
given extensions, but he said he
always has to do the same work as
everyone else.
"Being SA president has taught
me time management," he said,
"it is the best preparation for law
school."
Laurie Midgette, chair of the
Albany State University Black
Alliance (ASUBA), said her job
"certainly involves as much work
as SA president." She said that
she works hard representing her
organization at meeting and arranging events.
"It becomes monotonous at
times trying to maintain the
academic excellence this unviesity
demands and to still fulfill social,
political and community responsibilities," she admitted.
However, professors have been
understanding, she said, when she
has had to miss class for
meetings. She also described her
position as "rewarding when you
put on an event and people enjoy
themselves or learn something."

Such acts as parachuting,
picketing or, hanging banners are
used to draw public attention to
an issue, Osten said, and after attention has been drawn, the
group moves to more traditional
tactics such as lobbying to get
legislation passed.
Greenpeace has placed a strong
emphasis on fighting against toxic
chemicals. However, it also has
great interest in the preservation
of whales, seals, and other
wildlife, as well as disarmament.
Greenpeace hopes, to find new
sources of funding at colleges by
presenting their merchandise to
people who otherwise would not
have a chance to purchase it,
Osten said.
It is also easier for Greenpeace
to reach large numbers of sympatheteic people through campus
chapters, Osten said, noting the
large student interest he had
witnessed. Each person received
information about the organization, he said, that they might
otherwise not have had access to.
However, the organization also
benefits students, he stated. It offers internships in Boston during
the summer for those interested,
which Osten said are becoming
more competitive because of the
many people interested in
Greenpeace. The group also helps
students develop organizational
skills, because all activities are
run by the students. Osten said,
"It's all dependent on the energy
the students have."
Greenpeace also publishes a national newsletter four times a
year. The newsletter informs
members of current events and
results of Direct Action. It also
includes research and information
concerning various facets of the
environment unci the harm done
to It. To receive the newsletters,
though, one must become a
member at a cost of fifteen
dollars per year.

Have you ever:
•Forced yourself to vomit after eating?
•Taken laxatives after a food binge?
•Eaten large quantities of food, even though you
.aren't hungry?
•Felt strong by not eating when you are hungry?
• Become obsessed with food, even though you
rarely eat?
•Dieted so strictly that you lost a
great deal of weight in a short
time?
If you have, you are not alonel
There are thousands of women
(and a small number of men) who are currently suffering from an eating disorder. What are these
disorders, and why have they become so common,
an experience?
There are three main types of eating disorders.
The first, and most visible, is anorexia nervosa. It is
recognized by a forced starvation. The anorexic
woman sees herself as obese and therefore continually denies herself food. She is often hyperactive — exercising strenusously. She develops rituals
around food. She may also become obesssed with
food — collecting recipes or throwing dinner parties — while simultaneously denying herself food.
By the time an anorexic is brought to medical attention, she has usually lost 25-30 percent of her normal body weight. Unless the disorder is corrected,
anorexia will be fatal.
The second disorder is much less obvious since its
victims are not so visible. The disorder is bulemia,
and it involves a vicious cycle of hinging and purging. A bulemic woman is often of average weight.
She will consume thousands of calories in a binge,
and then vomit or use laxatives to relieve her guilt.
These purges can be extremely harmful medically —
damaging the stomach, esophagus, intestines, and
teeth. A bulemic is usually aware that there is a problem, but feels unable to control the cravings that
begin the binge.
Bulmarcxia, the third disorder, is a combination
of anorexia and bulemia. For example, an anorexic
woman may be forcibly starving herself but she
binges one time out of hunger. In order to get rid of
the food before it is digested, she will force herself
to throw up. Bulmarcxia is particulary harmful
because it is characterized by the worst of the two
previous disorders.
Middle
Earth
Roots
What is common in ail eating disorders is a pattern of guilt associated with food intake. What has
caused the patterns to occur?
Young women with eating disorders are often
"model" children and students. While appearing to
be achievers and responsible, the young woman
may actually feel ineffective and powerless. With
anorexia, food is one way of asserting personal
strength. With bulemia, there is intense guilt of
feeling overcome by a binge.
"
Young women with eating
disorders are often model
students.
The issue of control is then compounded by a
society that is obsessed with weight. Women seem
to be particularly affected by beauty standards.
Rather than building bodies up into physical
fitness, the emphasis for women is on reducing the
body to its thinnest proportions. The media,
models, and stars tell us a very clear message —
"Thin is in."
The first step in coming to terms with an eating
disorder is to identify it, and to seek help. A
medical exam is an excellent beginning. Physical
damage can be corrected while the woman begins to
come to terms with her disorder. Treatment varies,
but the emphasis is on the woman discovering why
food has become an issue of control, what her selfperception is, and how she can come to terms and
take responsibility.
Support groups are an excellent way of dealing
with an eating disorder. Middle Earth offers a support group. It is currently filled, but an opening, or
another group may occur. There are also several
groups and counselors in the Albany area. Middle
Earth encourages" anyone who has an eating
disorder, or is concerned about someone who does,
to call at 457-7800. Also on Thursday night at 7:30
Middle Earth is co-sponsoring a presentation, of
Foodfright. The production will focus on food and
our relationship to it. Anyone who is interested is
invited to attend.

A major focus of the discussion following the panel was
the question of whether or not
a writer must write in Spanish
to be considered a Puerto
Rican writer. S o t o and
Valcarcel, considered part of
the "older generation" of
Puerto Rican writers, held
strongly to their position that
Puerto Rican literature must be
written in Spanish. Other
members of the panel and the.
audience disagreed forcefully,"
many choosing to voice their
arguments in their native
Spanish.
William Kennedy, Director
of the Writers' Institute, said
he was pleased with Ihe panel
discussion. "It's just what I
hoped — a discussion about
these marvelous writers that do
exist," said Kennedy.
"One reason we are here is to
let the world know about Puerto Rican literature," said Professor Tom Smith, Associate
Director of the Writers' Institute. "They live in this kind
of limbo because of their relationship with the United States
and no one thinks of them as
having a culture of their own,"
said Smith. But, the purpose of
the panel discussion and the
Puerto Rican Writers Festival
is to clear up some of these
myths about Puerto Rican
culture and to raise the question of Puerto Rican Identity,
he added.

The department will also sponsor an
Open House in (he Fulterer Lounge during
the day o( the Marathon. To aquaint
students with the opportunities of the
department, tables will be set up with information on the various aspects of the
department. During the concert, students
will be able to browse at the tables; pick up
information sheets describing curriculum,
perfroming groups, etc.: and ask questions
of the music students and faculty at each
table.
The idea of Ihe Music Marathon/ Open
House is not new to the department. In
fact, this will be the third consecutive
semester that a Marathon has been
presented, and the fourth within the past
five years. The original idea was created by
music faculty member and pianist Findlay
Cockrell, and the first Marathon was staged in the spring semester of 1981. Now,
the music department treats the Marathon
as an established event. "It's a regular thing
now— a routine part of the semester," says
Cockrell, who will act as master of
ceremonies for the day and perform in a
free evening concert at 8:00 pm in the
Recital Hall. This concert will feature, according to Cockrell, "all the Bach 1 know."
Music Marathons of the past have
featured a tremendous variety of musical
combinations— Bach and Brahms,
Beethoven and Bartok, on anything from
string quartet to tuba duo. Marathon
listeners have been blown away by the
3rass of Ihe Jazz Ensemble and uplifted by
the spiritual sonorities of the Chamber
Singers. Audiences have learned about
s y n t h e s i z e r s at Electronic Music
demonstrations and laughed at the satirical
songs of the professional comedy act of
Nilssohn and Savoy.
Pas! performances have ranged from
variations on a theme of "Twinkle,
Twinkle, Little Star," by W.A. Mozart to
the Percussion Ensemble's rendition of
Scott Joplin's The Entertainer. Students
have heard the upbeat flute tunes of their
jazz teacher Irvin Oilman, the trumpet fanfare of their music theory instructor James
Morris, and the pastoral oboe sounds of
their symphonic music teacher Randall
Ellis.
talent to create lyrical melodies within simple counterpoint, and beautiful harmonic
textures within a single line. For centuries,
Bach's music has served as an invaluable
teaching tool in the study of. music theory
and composition. More than any other
composer's works, Bach's compositions
have greeatly influenced the writings of
music through all time. Today, Bach is still
among the most celebrajted and respected
of composers— his musij:. can be heard all
over the world.
The university community will have a
chance lo become more familfar with the
marvelous melodies of Bach at Thursday's
Music Marathon. Radar O'Reilly of
MASH probably summed it up the best
when he slowly sat back and signed, "Ahh,

The Blasters have maintained their
guitar-oriented sound on the latest effort,
and have once again shot their musical arrow right through the heart of America. As
a matter of fact. Mr. "American workingclass Rock-n-Roll" himself, John Cougar
Mellencamp produced and wrote "Colorec
Lights", a song that shows his influence
very clearly. While doing an interview in
October at WCBD, Dave Alvin said he
much enjoyed working with Cougar as a
producer, and predicts that be will become
"somethin" else" in that occupation. Johnny
Doe of X also co-wrote a pair of tunes. Doe
,\m\ Alvin are no strangers. The two of
them, along with Exene Cervenka of X, are

disc, and closer to Memphis. Ye. Memphis,

This semester's Marathon will be a
special celebration of the tricentennial birthday of J.S. Bach. In his honor, the concert
program will feature mostly Bach repertoire. Marathon performers couldn't be
more fortunate in this opportunity to play
in an all-Bach concert. They have over
1,000 works to choose from in this prolific
composer's repertoire.
Perhaps Bach's ability to produce such
an abundance of music can be exceeded
only by the individual beauty that he
creates within each piece. Every one of
Bach's compositions displays his natural
best music in the world.
The U. S. is the home of country and
western, folk, blues, rockabilly, and
rhythm-and-blues, and Alvin has incorporatedy.a(li;pf. these influences into the
music of tnjb Blasters. In the WCDB interview, he made it quite clear that he resents

fine American groups. "What's the difference between U-2 and X?" he said, referring to the fact that U-2 was immediately
signed to a major label, while X had to
struggle for years to do the same.
This is the first time (hat the group has
worked with a producer, Jeff Eyrich, and
this has also changed their sound
somewhat. It has given the music a more
controlled, clean sound. You might call it a
more palatable sound for the conservative
ear. There is a nice array of tunes ranging
from Roots Rockers, to country ballad, to a
gospel number, to a couple of barn
burners. The overall sound of Hard Line is
country-blues rock, with the top cuts being
"Trouble Bound", "Hey, Girl", "Colored
Lights", and "Little Honey" (the ballad).
The lyrical content hasn't changed much
on this lp, with David Alvin writing once
again about the trials and tribulations of
the common man. Phil Alvin seems to
maintain the same tone, rather off key,
which is a perfect compliment to his
brother's songs. The only noticeable difference is on the two songs co-written by
John Doe. They seem to'be more reflective
of X's style of singing the blues about guygal relationships than of the Blasters' style.
For example, "Little Honey" -- "Little
Honey, are you going out tonights Litle
Honey, I'm not looking for a fight/ Little
Honey, I promise 1 won't get mad/ If you
tell me about the boyfriend that you have"
- or "Just Another Sunday" - "I've found a
home in Room 16/ for three long weeks
this is where I've been/ I could try to call
you on the phone/1 got the coins but I can't
put them in/ Just to hear you hang up once
again."
On Hard Line, the- Blasters have progressed and matured still further, and Have
strengthened their position as one of the
strongest hands in rock-n-roll today. Catch
them on «IPM, or pick up the album at

What worries me about the aforemen-.
tioned experience is the fact that many college students enjoy this kind of-pain. It's
pure and simple masochism; they go out,
pay good money for these seemingly
harmless chicken wings, ingest them, and
relish in the agony.
For those unfamiliar with this type of
cuisine, simply placing a red-hot coal in
one's mouth will adequately simulate the •
sheer bliss of a good wing. The newcomer'
to the fiery-hot "three alarm" chicken
wings as they are called, can be spotted
easily. He is the one with the dense layer
of perspiration on his visible epidermis; his
lips, in a large pucker, are stuck deep in a
pitcher of beer in a futile attempt to wash
away the holocaust in his oral cavity. It occurs to him that this affliction was a direct
result of the removal of some bills from his
pocket, and not wanting to waste money,
he procedes to finish them as rapidily as
possible, no matter how intolerable they
are. He knows that among wing eaters a
high threshold for pain is very prestigious,
so he orders another plate while faking a
satisfied .smile. Yet,- behind his .pearly
whites, the blistering heat burns on. Alas,
we see the transformation of a human being into a wing eater.
The seasoned chicken wing veteran is by
far the most unhinged. He knowingly consumes these birds of fire, genuinely enjoying the searing heat and destructive burning. As more lip and cheek cells and. taste
buds are annihilated, the true masochist
can enjoy eating more potent versions of
the infernal sauce. Hardening of the internal sections of bodily orifices is not a very,
common ailment, but not surprisingly a
close examination of a wing eater's mouth
wquld reveal millions of microscopic
callouses. Frenzied wing eaters should be
advised of this risk of having children born
with asbestos lined cheeks.
Scientific rumor has it that the spontaneous combustion of taste buds produces
a chemical that stimulates apathy centers in
the brain; thus, we have an explanation for
the numerous "wing breaks" that are frequently the cause of dropping grade
averages. It can be predicted that hotlines
for addicts will be set up as this masochist
phenomenon reaches epidemic proportions. With the increasing popularity of
Buffalo chicken wings, we can see a
monumental evolutionary mutation within
the next two generations: the regression of
taste buds from receptors of oral delight to
vestigial organs.

Diamond Life
Sophistication in pop music is rare. Not
just in music or lyrics, or even arrangement
but the unity of all of these qualities.and
something more that only the rarest of
talents possess. Sade, the band, and Sade
the woman possess sophistication. From
the romantic saxophone opening of
"Smooth Operator" to the closing cover
version of "Why Can't We Live Together",
Sade's debut album, "Diamond Life", exudes sophistication.
Sade (pronounced Shar-day) the band, is
a pop-soul quartet from England.
However, all of the media attention has
been on the band's lead singer, Sade Adu,
and justifiably so. In Sade, they have found
a new star in the true sense. With elegant
natural beauty and a rich voice that words
can never do justice to, Sade is a welcome
addition to the music scene. She co-writes
all of the band's material with saxophonistguitarist Stuart Matthewman. She's already
a well known performer in England and on
her way to becoming well known in the
United States. She cites Ray Charles as her
favorite singer, and is also a big fan of Bilie
Holiday. Her singing style is hers alone and
does not seem to be influenced by anyone
or anything except soul.

'Any song out of the eight on this album can
easily become a'-hit."
••. >i::W>,"' • > ' : " . Tears for Fears
Songs From the Big Chair
It's been a long wait since their 1983
debut album, and it was well worth it.
Tears For fears show their true colors in
this full-length work. Their style changes a
bit from what we have heard before, but
this just brings out their diversity. Tears
For Fears uses less synthesizers and more
guitar in a very clean and polished manner.
For all of the fans that Tears For Fears made
from The Hurting, this album offers even
more, and should give them an even
stronger following.
Songs From The Big Chair offers some
of the best Instrumental performances that
I have heard in a long time. Standing out is
Roland Orzabal's grand piano playing. An
instrument that is not used very often in
rock, especially in a progressive Synth
band, is mastered beautifully here. This,
along with the vocals of Curt Smith, who
has perhaps one of the best voices in music
today, make this a very pleasing, and
diverse album. Their diversity is reminiscent of The Style Council, going from rock
("Broken"), to pop ("Head Over Heels"), to
transitional rock-jazz ("The Working
Hour"), to a dance track ("Mother's Talk"),
to a mellow, operatic, "sidewak cafe" type
song ("Listen"). Add the clarity and
crispness of the simplemindish vocals, and
you get a very solid winner. Any song out
of the eight on this album can easily
become a hit. Along with the already proven "Mother's Talk", "Shout" (which went
to number one in Ihe U.K.), and newly
released "Everybody Wants to Rule the
World", Tears For Fears has put together a
very satisfying album, a definite breath of
fresh air in today's music world.
— A n d r e w Skibins
"Our music is not outrageously inventive or original, but it's fresh for the times
and it's outside the rut that dance music
seems to have gotten itself into,' says Sade.
And fresh it is. No synthesizers, no drum
machines, the quartet of Sadee, Matthewman, Andrew Hale (keyboards), and
bassist Paul Denman are joined in the
studio and on stage by percussionists and a
brass section. Their music evokes a feeling
of serenity, a reminder of tropical nights
walking along the beach.
The first side of the album has already
yielded the band's first two singles in the
United States, "Hang On To Your Love",
and "Smooth Operator". Musically, the
rest of side one is in the same vein. The
songs are very listenable and after hearing
them once, you'll be singing along next
time you hear them. Besides the two
singles, other standouts on this side include
"Your Love Is King", which was number
six in Britain, and the-haunting "Frankie's
First Affair". (NOT about Frankie Goes to
Hollywood The second side is a little
darker than the first, more thought provoking. "Sally" is definitely one of the high
spots on the album, and a personal favorite
of Ms. Adu's. And when the AngloNigerian Sade sings "Why Can't We Live
Together", she brings new meaning to the
Timmy Thomas classic. It's unfair, I should
mention, for me to single out certain songs
as being "the best" on an album where
quality, sophistication and great music run
rampant.
Real sophistication is not created, it's not
packaged. It's rare, inbred. When a band
comes along that contains such a quality,
one should take notice. With a dynamic
debut album. "Diamond Life', one must
look forward Sade and what they will do
next.

Enormous task
Afrocentric
ideas
Many African and Afro-American
studies students found themselves without
an instructor last week. When they arrived
at their classes they were told that their
professor, Vivian Gordon, who was also
chair of the department, had resigned and
that the remainder of the course would be
taught by guest lecturers.
At the time, the university offered them
no further explanation.
Gordon had only been chair of the
African and Afro american studies
department for a very short period of
time. Since arriving last September she'd
done a lot to improve the department's
reputation and respectibilty around campus. She'd made the department more
visible, offered interesting new courses,
and introduced more of what she's
described as "academic rigor" into the
classes. In addition, most students have
nothing but praise for her teaching and
lecturing abilities.
So, when Gordon disappeared last
week, students had a lot of questions.
University officials remained vague on the
whole situation, leaving Gordon's status
and brief career at SUNYA open to much
speculation.
Now, after Gordon has been subjected
to a lot of humiliating public scrutiny,
University President Vincent O'Leary has
scheduled a meeting with Gordon, for this
Wednesday. She is definitely finished as a
department chair, but right now she's still
a full professor here. Unfortunately, the
University has handled this so poorly that
she may not stay. The mystery surrouding
the situation has made it look worse than
it probably is. For her to stay at this point
could be awkward. If she leaves, it would
an unfortunate loss for the entire campus
community.
Several students and faculty members
say that some of the problems Gordon
faced, stemmed from her leadership style.
In short, she was a bit of a dictator. She
tried to make a lot of changes very quickly. In the process, she stepped on a lot of
toes.
But couldn't this have been resolved
within the dapartment? Couldn't the
university have been more open about the
situation, saving Gordon the embarrassment that is often the result of uninformed public speculation and gossip?
Unless there's more to it. Gordon was
an outspoken afro-centric speaker, while
most of the professors in this University
teach from a Eurocentric perspective. In a
University where marxism usually isn't
taught by marxists, and socialism isn't
taught by socialists, the administration
isn't likely to want afro-american studies
taught by someone teaching afro-centric
ideas.

The New Deal is old hat
Has the era of the New Deal seen its last chapter? Many
die-hard Democrats refuse to believe this, so the
Republicans snicker in the shadows watching Roosevellian ideas crumble under the pressures of our contemporary political arena. In part, this collapse tan be atiributed to an old and worn out system of effectively dealing with the problems of a government as enormous and
sophisticated as ours. Although the final blow, to what
seemed an ageless interpretation of our Constitution,
has been dealt by President Ronald Reagan and his conservative Republican ideology.
Bill King
A prime example is our chief executive's veto of a recent bill which passed both the House and the Senate. The
proposed legislation, which intended to refinance
farmers' debts by pouring billions of dollars of aid into
the pockets in the form of "loans," was struck down by
the President almost immediately. Such a stringent action
reaffirms the downfall of the New Deal Era when bigger
government was considered the solution.
Today, agriculture, like any other big business, must
come to grips with Reagan's attitude towards government, mandated by his historic re-election.
What our founding fathers strove for was to build a
thriving economic and poltical world power out of a land
whose vast natural resources could easily be exploited.
These ingenious men relied heavily on what our country
had that other nation-states lacked. Such a philosophy
allowed men and women with vision to enter the capitalist
market in an attempt to control the reins of the system.
Yet the Great Depression abruptly put a halt to many of
these American dreams.
Thinking and acting quickly Franklin D. Roosevelt injected capitalism with a large dose of government interference. Ever since, the Feds are into everything in a
system which prides itself in its "private" priviledges.
From banking to farming to communication and more,
our government monitors, keeps track of; files and
refiles, stores away and correlates information in all these
areas. What we call red tape results in the purchase of
$600 toilet seats. Now, President Reagan decides to
eliminate some of these filing cabinets in order to spend
less, become less involved in business and make government more efficient. I suppose it's an attempt to let affairs take care of themselves — noninterference. By no
means is government bailing out of its responsibility to
the people. Rather it's trimming off some of the fat,
dieting, all in an effort to have big business stand on its
own two feet without need of governmental bandaids
everytime it gets a scratch because of an unwise practice
or risky transaction. Yet for some reason corporate
agriculturists, who have developed our farmland into a
multibillion dollar industry, seem to think they are excluded from our President's cutbacks. Well farmers,
think again.
' If this bill had become law it would have added 8.95
billion dollars to an already ballooning federal deficit in
the form of interest subsidies, loan guarantees and immediate advances. According to the President there is
already, "650 million dollars in guarantees for refinancing'iip to 90 percent of the restructed commercial loans
provided the private sector lender writes off 10 percent of
the principle or interest on the loan." How can the
government effectively come to grips with its fiscal problems if it delves out billions to every big business interest .
barking for more aid?
There is no aspect of the economy immune to government cutback. As students we are aware of this just as
farmers, steelworkers, coal miners, business persons and
many other people in various occupations must be. The
strength of the dollar combined with low interest rates
will maintain economic growth and provide incentives for
investments while federal spending can be cut in all areas
of the economy.
The N. Y. Times argues, "In the last two years farm
prices have declined by 22 percent across the nation, and
by 50 percent in some counties. Interest rates.'fueled by
high Federal budget deficits, have remained high. And
crop prices, undermined by overproduction and declining
exports, have stayed low." Reaganomics is not blind to
fiscal difficulties of big business (case in point, Chrysler
Corp). Under the President's plan 4.5 billion dollars in
credit will be available to farmers. 15 billion dollars will
be used to support farm commodity prices. In the last
three years 50 billion dollars has been directed at the
agricultural industry. We can't afford to "fuel" the
federal deficit by increasing aid to farmers already receiving billions in government benefits.
Reaganomics may not be an end all in dealing with the
problems facing the federal government, but it has affected our economy positively over the last four years. As
the Democrats in Washington spend their time mocking
ceremonies, Republicans must be elated at the Conservative tide which, through Reagan's historical re-election
has swept the nation. What we all must come to grips with
is evident —> The New Deal is Old Hat.

on the Editorial Board, and congratulate him on having
finally escaped.
To the Editor:
While the bus system at SUNYA is'not perfect, it is not
quite as bad as indicated in a recent article in the ASP. In
fact, considering the volume of students that are serviced
each day, it is rather good.
The article in the ASP made a number of generalities
concerning the service of the system that do not hold true
universally. As a daily rider of the green machines I find
only a few of the drivers to be snotty or obnoxious. This
article gave the impression that most of the drivers have
these attributes. The real truth is that the vast majority
exhibit a kind of quiet professionalism; and you could
term some as being even friendly. One such friendly
driver, on approaching Administration Circle on his trior;ning run, greets students by reciting: "Morning little
rascals, it's time for school. Have a good day and be
well."
It's no wonder that on occasion a driver may appear
slightly miffed, considering the pressures of trying to remain on schedule, while driving a bus that is usually over
capacity. These drivers push the limits to make sure that
every possible person gets aboard, in already crowded
conditions, Contrary to popular opinion, the drivers do
wait for people that are running for the bus. When they
do leave someone behind it is usually because he/she has
waited Five minutes after the scheduled departure time for
stragglers, and that person is three hundred feet away and
walking at a leisurely pace. If they waited for every last
person then the buses would not adhere to their schedule,
and people would complain about buses always running
late. By the way, the buses are usually on time (or show
up within a reasonable period).
As for the buses not being mechanically sound, there is
only one bus that I have ridden that does not appear to be
Fit for operation (it screeches when the brakes are applied). Other than that they perform quite well.
Even the ticket system was cited iii the article as not be-

have made provisions to have spare tickets on hand at the
beginning of the semester, even if they don't take the
buses regularly. If they haven't had the foresight to procure tickets in advance, than there is always theCDTA or
a taxi. It is very unlikely that they will ever again come up
shorthanded when it comes to bus tickets, after using
other modes of transportation that are more expensive
and less convenient.
Considering the enormous task of transporting hundreds of students safely and efficiently on a daily basis,
the bus system is well worth the scmeslerly charge of ten

Thanks to all
To the Editor:
This letter is addressed to all of those individuals who
supported The Albany State Hockey Team: Student
Association, the.ASP, fans,, and especially the players
themselves.
First of all thanks should be given to Paul Essner and
Drew Rubin who without their long countless hours of
painstakingly scheduling games and practices, this season
would have not been possible. Along with Paul and
Drew, Co-captains, Rich Diem and Larry Hartman
should also be congratulated for their fine job. With their
never say die attitude, they were the source of many
positive influences on the team, on and off the ice. 1 could
go on forever praising individual players and the effects
they've had on the team but for lack of space and the risk
of being repetitious, I won't. Instead 1 am going to thank
all the members of the team.
As any coach will tell you, one of the basic objectives
of coaching is to try and instill the premise of team play
instead of individual play. In my 5 years of coaching
hockey, I have coached better players but not better
teams. This Albany State Hockey Team has certainly
earned my repsect and I would personally like to thank all
the players for allowing me to be a part of their organization. Looking forward to your continued support next
year.
—Bruce Pomukoy
Albany Stale Hockey Coach
Excellent care
To the Editor:
This letter is in reference to the article in Friday, March
15th's ASP on the service of SUNYA's infirmary. I was
not aware of any survey going around, but I wish 1-had.
Yes, I too used to be one of the many who complained
about SUNYA's Student Health Service. I've gotten my
share of long waits and sometimes, what I feel, was imcompetent service. But after having spent this past week
in the in-patient clinic, my feelings have changed.
Considering the budget cuts the Health Service has
been dealt, I think the infirmary is pretty good. Doctor's
hours are limited, waits are long, but the medication is a
good deal cheaper as well as any medical tests done.
Perhaps we should look into increasing the budget of
SUNYA's Health Service. Increased doctor's houis might
bring about more personal attention to'vards the
students.
SUNYA also has the largest in-patiei.i clinic in the
SUNY system. The care 1 received was excellent. The
nurses were so nice, and I got the quiet and relief I needed. I can honestly say that each and every person working
there did their best to relieve any discomfort and stress I
felt. I was ultimately impressed.
I think we all need to be patient when going to the infirmary, and also be a little more assertive. 1 f st udents don't
feel that doctors are very informative, then they are not
asking enough questions. I think by now we should Irresponsible enough to take a detailed interest in our own
health.
—Clare F. Kiely
Voices heard
To the Editor:
The sentence, "This April a very important referendum
will be voted on here at SUNYA," is the first line of a letter in the March 12th issue of the ASP. I agree
wholeheartedly that this is an important vole (hat gives
students a voice in how our student government should
spend our money. NYPIRG's referendum, which comes
up every two years at SUNYA, has allowed students in
the past to vote overwhelmingly for their mandatory
funding.
Mr. Ruckcr's statement that student awareness is.rising
was shown to be true in the same edition of the ASP with
255 letters being written from Colonial Quad to .President
Reagan about Aid Cuts. There is no rationale supporting
the idea that student awareness is putting NYPIRG on
the defensive. NYPIRG Is an organization which allows
students to become involved in a variety of issues.
Craig Rucker's use of the words "force" and "coer-
cive" contradicts with the idea that the referendum vote is
occuring. In voting in the referendum, students can
become democratically involved. This is America, where
the opportunity to vote is cherished by our people.
NYPIRG has established itself through the use of this
referendum as a democratically funded organization.
With the vote coming up students will again have their
voices heard?

Schedule problems
To the Editor:
I have never understood the registration system at this
university but my experience with the Communications
department has made me quite angry. Presently I am a
sophomore and will be an official junior in the Fall of
1985 and went for Preregislration Advisement. The rigid
requirements for this major include 4 300 level courses
and 2 200 level classes which are 265 and 270. When I
reviewed the selection of courses I was quite upset but
chose one that I found to my liking and decided to take
the two 200 level courses for the next semester. Well I
was all set before entering the Office of Communications
and was informed that all but 3 of the 300 level classes
were already closed and that only one of the remaining
might remain open by the time I was able to register. /-viau
Also
I encountered the problem of the other 2 classes having,
ingja
high probability of being closed before I went to ]
preregister. So as my advisor informed me I was g o i n |
have to "cross my Fingers" that I would get the 2 200 level
level
required courses that I needed I got very annoyed. Why
with such a large enrollment into the Communications
Department are there so few professors and so few
classes? I realize that juniors and seniors have priority but
if there arc not classes remaining after they register what
are the freshmen and sophomores to do if they choose
Communications as their major? My advisor suggested I
take courses for my minor which is Business but I replied
that I had only two classes left and that those two are offered to juniors and seniors and majors first. What are we
left to take? Why aren't more courses offered so that we
can complete the requirements without going on the
"5-Year Plan"? I and many other students in their
freshmen and sophomore years chose Communications as
a major, we didn't get rejected from another department,
that is the major we wanted and I do not sec why it is so
difficult and nearly impossible to satisfy the requirements
at a gradual pace. Due to this system we will have lo take
all the requirements in 2-3 semesters with the rest of our
upper level minor courses and general education classes. I
hope the department of Communications will improve
their "advisement" system and notices these problems
and plans to recitfy the situation for Pre-prercgistration
for the Spring of 1986.

Exploring the self
To the Editor:
From my vantage point as a member of the Chapel
House Staff and Advisor to JSC-Hillel, it has been with
mixed emotions that I have monitored the resurfacing of
Krishna Consciousness on our campus. While I am
heartened by the emergence of spiritually sensitive and
searching students, I am saddened by those of Jewish
birth who, in their quest for real meaning and life's inner
beauties, have opted for alien spiritual paths without exploring the spiritual wealth in their own Jewish
background.
Perhaps it is not their fault that they have never tasted
the inner depths of Judaism. If only they could know
Shabbos as "mochin de'gadtus" (a high state of consciousness), pray in a synagogue where the ancient
prayers are filled with new tears and every melody is a
song of the soul. If only they could meet our holy Rabbis
and teachers, compassionate and giving individuals, appreciative of the process of the soul, teachers of the Torah
of love and peace and G-dliness for all creation.
There are those whose Judaism is a practice of do's and
don'ts, bagels and lox and gefilte Fish, and they may be
satisfied with synogogues without soul and Rabbis
without depth. But to the spiritually seeking Jews of our
generation longing for a perosnal connection with a G-d
that feels the pain of their soul and hears the prayer o(
their heart, thank G-d that others before you, and even
today, arc (re)discovcring within Jewish tradition,
meditative praryer-chants with mantra-like sounds, the
spiritual necessity of physical well-being, and that even
the most trivial Jewish ritual action is an opening to G-d's
most inner chambers. Firmly rooted in spirit, Judaism is
the Divine Revelation that began at Sinai and continues
today as every happening and every friend form connective bonds that link ourselves and our world with G-d.
The Jewish gates of holiness are never locked, but it is
up to you to come inside. I welcome your inquiries to
com? and learn, to share and grow as you begin the process of the exploration of your Jewish self.

Students help spur growing sanctuary efforts
Riverside, CA.
(College Press Service) The churchsponsored sanctuary movement, aiding
refugees fleeing to the U.S. from war-torn
Central America, is gaining a potentially
new ally: college students.
Although still in the embryonic stage,
efforts are burgeoning to establish a campus sanctuary network to help harbor El
Salvadoran and Guatemalan refugees in
defiance of federal authorities:
-At least three university student
organizations in California have voted
within the past year to establish
sanctuaries.
-Representatives of 12 other California
schools are considering similar steps
following a Riverside conference last
month to establish the foundation for a
campus-sanctuary network.
-Brown University students, who last
fall approved a referendum calling on the
university to establish a sanctuary, are
working with local churches to set tip a
sanctuary after university officials failed to
respond.
-A University of Colorado student
organization aiding Central American
refugees will ask student government
leaders later this month to establish a
sanctuary.
Combined with the dozen or so campusaffiliated churches that are already part of
a 200-member nationwide network of
church-sponsoered sanctuaries, sanctuary
movement leaders ae convinced they are
beginning to tap a mother-lode of
resources and support.
"The educational impact alone could be
tremendous," said Rev. Herb Schmidt,
pastor of. the Lutheran Campus Ministry
at the University of Arizona, which runs a
sanctuary. "Some of these refugees have
literally escapes with their lives and when
students hear about that kind of thing, it
raises, their level of awareness ..about,, the
whole Central 'America; issue," : SJhmidt
said.
A network of campus sanctuaries last
operated to protect draft dodgers during
the Vietnam War.
UC-Riverside graduate student Deborah
Allen, who helped organize last month's
campus sanctuary conference, is convinced
the sentiments that led to the Vietnam War
era sanctuaries can be tapped again.
"College students may be a little less
progressive now," Allen said, adding that,
while the progressive students may be a
minority, they're a strong minority. "And
students will get involved once they realize
they can actually do something concrete to
prevent refugees from being deported or
killed," she added.
Joan Cardellino, who coordinates sanctuary support efforts for the garduate student government at Cal-Bcrkely said,
"Students in this country take their
political freedom for granted. When they
realize that university students in El
Salvador, who are key targets of repression, get killed for doing much less than
they do, they say 'Maybe I should be doing
something about that.' "
Up to now, the five-yar-old movement
to protect refugees from deportation has
been run almost entirely by churches.
"It's always been thought of as a
religious movement," Allen said, trying to
explain why college students have been
slow to get involved. "But this is a moral
and humanitarian imperative," she said,
adding, "you don't have to belong to a
church to believe the U.S. government is
breaking its own laws by deporting these
people."
Sanctuary movement leaders maintain
the estimated 600,000 Salvadorans and
Guatemalans illegally in the U.S. are
political refugees fleeing from the civil
wars in their countries, and are therefore
entitled to asylum.
The ;Reagan, .administration, which
backs the Salvadoran government, con-
Celebrate...
According to Allen, the Riverside group
began its sanctuary work after indications
from the Immigration and Naturalization
Service that it would not raid churches,
schools, or hospitals in search of illegal
aliens. "That planted the seed," Allen
said.
The graduate Student Council at UCRiverside voted in February, 1984 to
establish a sanctuary. Since then, students
have housed one refugee, and given
various forms of assistance to others.,
The graduate student assembly at UCIrvine followed suit in August, the
assembly at UC-Berkeley in October.
According to Allen, Riverside students
are establishing a newsletter for college
sanctuary members, and are preparing a
"how to" booklet for those interested in
establishing a sanctuary. She expects at
least 10 college sanctuaries will be in
operation by next fall.

siders the vast majority to be economic
refugees. It has been rejecting all but a
small fraction of asylum requests, and it is
prosecuting people aiding the refugees.
In January, officers arrested 16
workers, including some muns and priests,
in Arizona. Last month, two Iowa sanctuary workers were convicted of aiding
Salvadoran refugees. College students who aid refugees
directly face the prospect of prosecution,
but campus sanctuary movement leaders
say that is unlikely.
"We are prepared to take the risk," said
Allen, adding that, "there is an awful lot
of sanctuary work that can be done that
does not involve risks."
The campus sanctuary members
organize food and fund drives, provide
bail money for jailed refugees, and arrange
campus appearances of refugees who
describe life in their home campus groups.

"It is a small clique involved" in the

SA contoller Richard Golubow stated
that SA "has no intention of raising the
fee here at Albany."
Golubow stated that he felt that SUNY
Central raised the activity fee because
"other campuses are operating in deficit
budgets" and need the extra money in
order "to keep stability."
According to Golubow, SUNY Central's actions "gives us(SA) more leeway.
If we wanted to raise the fee, we wouldn't
have to apply for a waiver."
Golubow added that SA is not running
on a deficit and is financially secure.
Therefore, he said he does not see "a need
for any raise in the activity fee in the near
future."

towards business."
"What is unique about the
open house is that Fuerza Latina
did it all by themselves. They contacted the right people, and got
transportation to run smoothly,"
said Tripp. The students travelled
upstate by van.
Cruz said that Fuerza Latina
attempted to get representatives
from many academic departments. "They either didn't respond, or they said they couldn't
come," she said. The only
academic department which attended was the School of Social
Welfare, which was represented
by Dr. Lester Brown.
Brown spoke in general terms
about his department, the opportunities of community service,
and campus life. Brown said that
he was pleased to attend, and
hoped that the students would
consider social welfare as a major, and) social work as < an
occupation.
Following panel discussion,
there was a short break during
which the students mingled
casually and discussed their impressions of SUNYA. High
School Junior Juanita Amarante
said that the discussion was very
informative. Amarante was one
of several students interested in
the business school. Most of the
students said that they were impressed and hoped to attend the
University.
"I'm a little shocked," said
Kenny Agosto. "I thought that
college was just like Animal
House. It seems like the movies
aren't true." For the most part,
the students said they had never
visited a college outside New
York City. "We wanted to get
them into a different environment
for one day," said Velez.
Tripp remarked that minority
recruitment at SUNYA began officially four years ago. "We conduct ongoing active recruitment,"
said Tripp,' 'and this is not a oneshot deal event with no history to
it. We recently held a similar open
house seminar for guidance
counselors from New York City
and surrounding counties. They
represent about 40,000 students."
Students admitted into the
University have other'decisions to
make once they are matriculated,
said Gwendolyn Simmons, of the
Career Development Center.
"We give you direction," said
Simmons, "and gear you towards
an eventual entering into the job
market. If you're considering
graduate school, work, and your
future in general, CDC will be
there to guide you," she said.
The last phase of the activities
in LC19 was a presentation by
Rich Schaffer, Student Association President. Schaffer spoke
about the many opportunities for
involvement on campus. "1 give
you the same message I give to incoming freshmen — get involved," said Schaeffer.
Jasmin Perez asked Schaffer
about art clubs on campus. Perez,
an artist, was curious about the
way studios are run at Albany,
student interest in art, and clubs.
Schaffer assured her that there
are art clubs on campus.
However, Perez noted, "The
studios here are only open to
graduate students. The facilities
for undergrads that I saw were
not to my liking."
Perez continued, "This is why
I'm glad that the open house took
place.today. This way I can see
first hand whether the school is
good or not. For me, it's not. All
of my questions have been
answered."
Most of the visiting students
kept their negative comments to
themselves, however, and concentrated instead on the positive
aspects of what they had seen and
learned. "I think that school is
great. These are a great bunch of
poeple here," said the father of
one prospective SUNYA applicant. They were the only parents
to attend.
One student said, "I feel very
good about Albany. I feel needed, and I certainly want to go to a
school where I'm needed."
Torres, who made the concluding remarks to the students
on behalf of Fuerza Latina said,
"I'm here at Albany because I
'ook at my parents and I know I
want a better life. I want to help
them, and especially help myself.
I have a responsibility to use my
opportunities to advance myself.
Education is the way out."

Computerized scholarship
services not worth their fee
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE
Students hunting for a scholarship to help finance their college education are better off using the guides at their local
library than paying for a computerized search of what's
available, the authors of a recent study concluded.
The California Student Aid
Commission (CSAC) surveyed
30 computer scholarship search
firms that promise to help
students find obscure sources
of financial aid by matching
their skills and needs with littleknown scholarship programs.
"While these firms are not
out to rob students, we can't
recommend any of them,"
CSAC spokeswoman Lois
McNally said. "It's a good
idea, but it hasn't worked yet,"
she added.
The scholarship search firms
came into vogue in the wake of
reports, many of them planted
by the s e a r c h s e r v i c e s
themselves, that there are
millions of dollars in unclaimed
scholarships every year.
But, according to CSAC
Director Arthur Marmaduke,
most of the unclaimed funds
are restricted, and are not
available to the average
student.
Daniel Cassidy of San
Rafael, Cal., founder of one of
the first computerized scholarship services, said the CSAC
study is an accurate reflection
of the industry as a whole,
though not of his firm.
Students can get useful infor-
mation from the best firms, he
added.
The better firms, Cassidy
said, maintain their own computerized list of scholarships,
rather than relying on a list
mass marketed by a New Jersey
company.
In addition, Cassidy said,
some • firms offer students
guarantees or refunds.
But the CSAC study, released Feb. 14th, concluded that:
— The vast majority of the
firms use the same computerized list of scholarships.
— Many customers receive a
list of scholarships not suited to
their background.
— The guarantees offered by
most firms are inadequate.
— Most firms do not contact
their customers to see how
many find scholarships.
Cassidy said his 1982 survey
of his firm's customers indicated that, of the students
who contacted the scholarship
agencies his firm recommended, about half received a
scholarship of at least $100.
But, CSAC surveyed 15 Los
Angeles students who paid
scholarship firms, and found
none who got any financial
assistance.
McNally said CSAC is circulating a list of readilyavailable reference books
listing scholarship programs,
and is urging high school
counselors to refer students to
those guides instead of paying
for a computerized search of
scholarships.

The Final Four cOuld be an all-Big East affair
(AP) The Big East and Atlantic Coast
Conferences have been feuding all season
over which league is the best in college
basketball, and their performances in the
first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament have done nothing to settle the issue.
Both leagues will have four representatives in the regional semifinals this week.
In fact, the Final Four could be an all-Big
East shootout involving top-ranked
Georgetown, No. 3 St. John's, Villanova
and Boston College.
That is not possible for the ACC,
however, since seventh-ranked North
Carolina and Maryland are both in the
Southeast Regional. The ACC's other entries are No. 6 Georgia Tech and No. 16
North Carolina Slate.
The Southeastern Conference is the only
other league with more than one representative still left - Alabama, Auburn and
Kentucky.
"The Big East is keeping the kids in
their area, nobody is going to take kids out
of our area and you've got the SEC, which
used to be a football conference, and
Potsdam ousted in finals
(AP) Less than three minutes remained in
the NCAA Division 111 basketball championship game and North Park Illinois had
just fallen behind for the first time.
North Park Coach Bosco Djurickovic
had watched his team blow a 13-point
lead. Potsdam State N.Y. had a 61-59 edge
and the national championship, it seemed,
was slipping away from North Park.
Djurickovic called time out.
"Playing 80 minutes in two days is an
awful lot and my kids were tired," said
Djurickovic after Saturday's game. "But I
told them there were only three minutes
left and, if we've got it to give, let's give it
all we can."
The pep talk apparently worked as
North Park rallied behind tournament
Most Valuable Player Earnest Hubbard to
take a 71-67 lead and then held on for a
72-71 victory.
It was North Park's fourth Division III
crown in eight years, including three
straight from 1978-80.
"We'll have to slide our other three banners over to the left a little," said
Djurickovic, who was an assistant coach
under Dan McCarrell when North Park
joined UCLA as the only schools to win
three consecutive National Collegiate
Athletic Association championships.
Hubbard, a senior guard, drove the lane
for a layup and a short jumper in the final
1:09 to fuel North Park's comeback. He
finished with 29 points.
"Our coach really deserves this," said
Hubbard. "He got the best out of the
talent we had. This is the happiest moment
of my life, especially being named MVP."
Potsdam Coach Jerry Welsh applauded
Hubbard's performance, but steered the
credit toward North Park's other senior
guard, Adam Lazich, who scored 18 points
on eight-of-10 shooting.
"Lazich made the difference," said
Welsh. "We needed to cover Hubbard and
center Justyne Monegain, so we cheated a
little inside and gave Lazich the outside
shot. He sure buried some."
Both teams were making their fourth appearances in the finals since the tournament began in 197.5. Potsdam won it in
1981 and finished second in 1979 to North
Park and 1982.
Junior guard Roosevelt Bullock led
Potsdam with 17 points. Both teams
finished with 27-4 records.

The team is coming off a spirited victory over Union last Tuesday in a match
that extended to the three games. For
Albany, it was their second triumph in
three tries against Union.

The spiking prowess of Todd Gallaird
was the key to the. Dane victory.
Gallaird, a 6'4" junior, who also plays
for Cosun's first team, was at his best.
"His spikes were like lightening,"
said teammate Jon Kornblatt. "The
referee couldn't call some plays because
he hit the ball so hard."
Tryon LeCakes and Mark Foti, the
massive senior, also played a key role.

Brian Solomon: Albany State's "karate kid

By Lisa Jackal
STAFF WHITER
When first glancing at junior
Brian Solomon, you wouldn't
guess that his hands are registered
as legal weapons. His mild mannered appearance and good
natured personality don't reveal
the fact that his hands posess a
lethal power. It wouldn't be wise
to confront this second degree

for blackbelts in karate and when
asked if he would go for all ten
Solomon said, "That's so far off
in the future, I'm working my
way up slowly, it takes a long time
- each degree takes one more year
than it took to earn the last
degree. I can't see myself stopping though, so it's a distinct
possibility."
"From the first day I went to class,
I never thought of quitting. "

martial arts in 1978 when he was
14 years old. "A friend of mine
was doing it at home and he was
getting pretty g o o d , " said
Solomon. "He wasn't the type of
person that you'd think studied
karate. So I decided to join.
That's just what got me started
though, from the first day I went
to class I never ever thought of
quitting. From the first day I
worked out I loved it."
Karate involves selfperseverance, and discipline one's heart. and mind must be
devoted to the sport. Martial artists aren't motivated by television programs or a desire to fight
because they've gotten beaten up
at one point in their lives. In fact,
most martial artists will avoid using their techniques on anyone
unless absolutely necessary.
When asked if there are some
things that are illegal to Use on the
streets, Solomon answered; "On
the street you're, allowed to do
anything you can because it's a
real situation."
' Solomontreceived his 'first
degree black belt in 1982. Two
years later in 1984, he earned his
second degree black belt. His
To receive a black belt, one
must take a three part test. The
written test includes the history of
karate, the oral test is based on
theory, and the physical part is
demonstrating what you've learned in workouts.
Salomon works out daily three times a week with the
Albany State Taekwonda club
and the other four days a week
with friends in the gym or his
lounge in Indian's Montauk Hall.
When asked if it was hard to keep
up his grades the criminal justice
major replied, "No, I use my
workouts as study breaks.
"A good workout will last two
hours so I'll take the time - working out clears my mind so I can
get myself ready to study again. I
think it helps a lot, as a matter of
fact when I first started my grades
went up," she continued.
Solomon is in karate for.the
pleasure of it. "I could compete if
I wanted to but I don't have the
desire to." said Solomon, whose
nickname is 'Karate Kid' among
his friends."Most of the tournaments are too far away, poorly
run and expensive. You could
wait four hours before your turn

to fight, lose and be out of the
tournament in a matter of
minutes. If they were closer or at
the school I would compete out of
convenience and curiousity - to
compare myself with other people
out there.".
Solomon has taught karate in
his school at home and he hopes
to teach in the future. "If the opportunity arose to teach here on
campus and the class was big I
would. I enjoy teaching and it
would be good for now to prepare
if I have my own school one day I'd be ready for it," said
Solomon, "To start a club on
campus a constitution has to be
written up and everything is arranged through the gym. It would
be somewhat of a hassle but I may
consider doing it next year."
Most of the clubs here are run
by students or former students.
"The club I'm in now isn't my
style. I just work-out with them I'm more of a guest than a student of the class," Solomon
stated. "But just because the class
is the same style doesn't mean it's
as good - it's really the people that
are in it that make it. All of us
who work out together get along
great."
While the majority of students
of karate are men, there are a few
women involved also. "I think
it's great when women become involved in karate. They can handle
themselves on the street," said
Solomon, "They're not as big as
men so their punches may not be
as powerful but they know
enough to go out an hurt so-
meone if necessary."
A saying in karate is "when
you first make black belt is when
you first start beginning to
learn." "That was true when I
made i t , " stated Solomon,
"Things that I learned earlier
started coming together." There
aren't many black belts on campus because many students just
started attending classes once they
come to school here and it takes a
few years to earn a black belt.
You don't have to be a hulk to be
a black belt. A lot of people in my
school aren't big people and I
wasn't big when I started either,"
said Solomon. "Karate builds a
lot of strength - both physically
and mentally, and I would
definitely recommend it to
anyone."

this season,
"I think this season was the initial

As to the future of the team Hartman
said, "I think the sky is the limit. Basically, we have a lot of young talent.
Nevertheless, the struggle for athletic

According to Athletic Director Dr.

has a way to go before attaining varsity

later on by petitioning to become a varsity
sport. The club must appear before the

To fund a team, revenue approximated
at between $20,000 and $30,000 would be
needed. Thus an additional appropriation
of money towards the athletic budget
would be necessary to begin funding.
Moore added that there are plans for a
new field house at Albany State, but not
for a hockey facility. "As far as I know
there are no plans for an ice rink, said
Moore. " The current plan was cut down
from its original scope which assumed a
possibility for the ice rink. The present
plan lias determined for the coming years
what has been allocated for what, this
didn't include a rink."
Nevertheless, Moore said the possibility
fo an ice rink could still be considered, but
it would not likely be reasonably soon.

£?. d . y . s £t a ? c om P |et e<l ""» collegiate career in a disappointing fashion, losing In the lirst round ol the
NCAA Division I tournament.
Andy Seras and coach Joe
DeMeo both knew that for Seras
to wrestle at 158 in the Division I
NCAAs was a gamble. Unfortunately for Seras, the odds were
not in his favor last week as he
lost 13-5 in the first round of the
competition.
"My opponent, Dave Ewing of
Iowa State, felt very big," said
Seras. "We knew my wrestling at
158 was taking a chance. It didn't
work out they way we wanted."
The match began with Seras
taking a two-point lead, getting
the first take-down. The lead was
then exchanged several times until
when, late in the first period with
Seras leading the third seeded Ewing 5-4, Ev/ing successfully executed a five-point move called a
Metzger.
"I felt it coming," said Seras,
"and I thought I had stopped it.
Afterwards, I couldn't come back
from behind."
Because Ewing failed to qualify
for the semi-finals, (his next
match was against the match's
top-seed and eventual winner),
Seras' participation in the tournament was ended with the defeat.
"I wrestled in the toughest
bracket unfortunately," said
Seras. "The first and third seeds
were both in it. And wrestling at
158 was-a mistake."
Seras also noted the difference
between Division I and Division'
III competition.
"There is definitely a big difference between the two. These
guys are all well-seasoned and
have had good matches. When I
compare my competing in Division I to Greg Hart and Dan
Croutier going up against Division I guys, I meant it also to
show the level of competition I'd
be up against last week. A lot of
people had some pretty high expectations of me; they didn't
realize what I'd be up against."
The competition was Seras'
final collegiate competition, and
left him with some mixed feelings
concerning his career.
"I fell short on a few things,"
said Seras. "I had wanted to win
more national titles and have
placed in Division I."
Overall, however, his attitude
was positive.
"I did get the four SUNYAC
titles and made Ail-American
four times. And I was on the two
best wrestling teams in Albany
State history. I had a good
career."

Those nightmare tales about the services
provided by the infirmary seem to be the
exceptions rather than the rule, according
to the final results of the Student Health
Service survey.
About 500 surveys were distributed by
the Student Community Committee in the
past two weeks at the commuter cafeteria,
dorms and dinner lines.
Overall responses were positive. "A lot
of pepole complained about specifics, but,
in general, they felt it was satisfactory
medical care," said Rich Dalton, chair of
the Student Community Committee.
65 percent of the students surveyed fell
they had received satisfactory medical
care, while 35 percent felt they had not.
"That's heartening," said Neil Brown,
Associate Vice-President of the Student
Health Services. "It would be nice if 95
percent of the students said they were
satisfied, but it just doesn't work thay
way," he said.
The most common complaint reported
on the survey was slow service. 47. percent
of the respondents found the service slow
while 36 percent said they had been trealed
quickly and 17 percent felt that it varies.
"The most accurate response has to be
that it varies because il does," said Brown.
Both Brown and Dr. Norman Dennis,
Medical Director of the Student Health
Services, are looking into ways to tackle
the waiting-room problem.
"We would like to arrange follow-up
visits on an appointment basis, and arragne those designated appointments at
the least busy times," said Brown. They
are considering conducting a survey at the
clinic to get feedback on that and other
proposals, he said.
"We have been fortunate to have
capability in our physicians, but availability has been a problem," said Dennis, adding that "good medicine, good concerns,
and individual care are very time consuming things."
76 percent of the students surveyed said
they had never been misdiagnosed, while
24 percent said that they had,

Friday evening at 7:30 p.m., the stage
will be set, the performers ready, and
the lights will be blazing for the I9th
year in a row. In one final 24 hour
marathon that so many Telethon
volunteers have been working towards
since last summer, SUNYA will get the
chance to sec student and professional
entertainment, a film festival, three rock
bands, many pies thrown in the faces of
campus personalities, and it's all in the
name of a good cause.
The money raised, which Telethon cochair Eileen Shapiro hopes will break
last year's record of $40,000 grossed,
will be split between two recipient
organizations in Albany: the Albany
Boys' Club and the Drakeland Daycare
Center.
The Boys' Club, which serves about
800 boys and girls at its two branches,
will use its share of the money raised on
"after-school programs, furniture, art
supplies, books for school," and other
equipment, said Larry Pearson, program director of the Club's Delaware
Avenue branch.
"Most parents work and the majority
of their kids have no place to go," Pearson said, adding, "the Boys' Club provides a safe environment for the kids."
Drakeland Daycare Center's Janice
Parker "was truly surprised," when the
center was picked as a Telethon recipient, last semester. The facility opened
a year ago January, and is the only
licensed daycare center in the Arbor Hill
area, she said.
With its part of the money, Parker
said Drakeland will concentrate on buying "supplies, supplies, supplies," for
the 35 children, aged 8 weeks lo 5 years,
that il serves. Mosl of the children are
from "low income, single-parent
homes," she noted.
Shapiro said pari of the fun of
Telethon was working with the kids.
"They're so full of love-they don't want
anything from us except for us lo be
wilh them."
Shapiro's co-chair, Eric Dorf, agreed
wholeheartedly. Calling them "typical
cute" kids, he staled that "every one of
Ihem is a very different personality."
Dorf also said he had a chance lo
meet the older kids when he judged a
breakdance contest at the Boys' Club.
"I just got to see the kids in their own
atmosphere, not ours. . .they were really friendly.

Student Association President Rich
Schaffer is outraged over what he calls an
"administrative stall' to the approval of
the Business Education Task Force's
report on Albany's Business Education
Program, but Vice President of Academic
Affairs Judith Ramaley contends that the
administration is merely "following the
governance structure for ihc approval of
any new program."
Schaffer's reaction is in response to the
recommendation of the University
Senate's Educational Policy Council
(EPC) to refer the report to the Business
Education Task Force to its long range
planning committee.
The report of the Task Force, released
Monday, unanimously recommended to
maintain the B.S. program and lo implement the combined U.S./M.S. program. It
was sent lo both Senate Councils, the EPC"
and Ihe Graduate Academic Council
(GAG) for review, which according lo
University President Vincent O'Leary, "is
a process which is undertaken' for every
proposed or substantially changed program on this campus."
However, some SA officials say they
feel that, in the caseof Business Education
"all top level management are against it
and it's just being stalled."
According lo Patty Salkin, Ihe only student member of Ihe Task Force and a
member of EPC, "the Task Force was
meant to cul down on time for GAC and
EPC," since it is made up of members of
both those councils. If the report is to be
referred back to EPC and GAC subcommittees, "why did ihe Task Force meet and
why were we told time was of the
essence?" she asked.
"It's not that hard lo gel a combined
program approved bui this one lacks administrative support," Salkin said, adding
that there were many combined programs
passed this year alone with no problem.
Schaffer agreed stating that "combined
B.A./M.A. have been approved at rapid
speed when the top level administrators
wanl Ihem to be approved."
He called Ihe action of EPC a "p ime
example" of "stalling tactics in order to
leave no other option bin lo dismantle the
program."
Ramaley however, said thai "this program is moving at Ihe same rate, even
faster, than mosl programs." She added
that, while she understands the feelings of
those who are affected by the decision, the
program is being considered on a "very
normal" time scale. "It takes several months lo move through the university governance structure," Ramaley said.
Speaking strongly in opposition to this,
Schaffer said, "maybe the whole problem
with Ihe university governance structure is
that things move too slowly. Speaking
from a Report of the Association of
American Colleges he quoted that "college
curriculum today is in total disarray
because of research emphasis and the
university governance structure."
Ramaley announced at the EPC meeting
that admissions to the program would remain suspended for another year, and, according to O'Leary and Ramaley, it would
