"This (the radio system)
will make us much more
efficient and should be less
time consuming for us."

Radio system donated to escorts
By Andrea Corson
STAFF WHITE*
A new radio communications system and administrative structural changes are providing the
means for the Don't Walk Alone escort service to
become more accessible to students on campus.
According to the Program's Director, Cheryll
Oransoff, $2,000 was donated to Don't Walk
Alone by the Class of '85 with the designated purpose of buying a communications system.
"The first thing we changed from fast spring is
not having people stationed at the quads," said
Oransoff. She explained that the quad escorts were
not utilized and that most people used the service
when returning from the library.
She added, however, that now with the radio
system, if someone needs an escort, they can call
the Don't Walk Alone office in the Campus Center
and an escort would be able to meet tham at any
location on campus. The system is currently «o
order.
Instead of having people sit around in the Campus Center, Oransoff said, there will be a base station and four hand-held units. One person will run
the base station and staff the phone,' while each
team of escorts will have one of the hand-held
27
units, she added.
"This will make us much more efficient and should
be less time consuming for us," said Oransoff. It
will also eliminate the need for escorts to come back
and forth from the Campus Center since they will
be able to receive calls on the hand held units, she
said.
Sophomore Maria Maglione, who is a captain on
Wednesday nights and OransofPs assistant, said
she feels that the radio system is an excellent idea
and that it is definitely going to be an asset. "It will
make things run smoother," she said.
Oransoff also said that there will be two captains
a night instead of one. "One captain (will be) in the
office and one in the library to spread out the
responsibility," she explained.
According to Oransoff, Maglione is much needed. "She worked in the spring and is familiar with
the service," she said. "We fix the schedules and
make sure the captains make all their calls and if
they can't, she'll keep trying for them-"
An additional change made was the switching of
t-shirts to hats for escorts to wear, which Oransoff
said she feels was a good idea. "Hats are much
more visible especially in cold weather," she said.

An Albany student has been told he must leave his apartment by
the end of the month for violating the city's grouper law, but the
only guarantee university officials say they can offer is that they'll
try to help him find another place to live.
"I was told to leave by the city back in August," said Victor
Gerhard, a senior living at 294 Quail Street who is looking for
another apartment. Gerhard lives with three other students, but he
is the only one who didn't sign the lease
Albany's Grouper Law states that no more than three unrelated
persons may live in the same rental unit.
Gerhard said he went to the office of Residential Life earlier this
week to seek help in finding another place to live, and was given a
copy of the off-campus listings available to all students. "I wasn't
really expecting anything, I just figured I might as well ask," he
said.
One of the reasons Gerhard said he went to Residential Life was
because of an Albany Student Press article in which Vice President
of Student Affairs Frank Pogue was quoted as saying SUNYA
could, as a last resort, provide on-campus housing for evicted
students only after all other options were ruled out.
Residential Life staff people, Gerhard said, "told me that they
were never really told about it."
"They knew what Pogue had said . . . but no one had ever told
them through channels," he added.
Gerhard said he was advised to go to Pogue's office in the Administration building, but that he "just hasn't gone yet." He said
he assumed that he could be offered housing in trie Wellington
Hotel or increased occupancy in on-campus facilities when he
went.
"At no point did I say that the University was guaranteeing
housing," stressed Pogue, saying the ASP article was correct only
"given the availability" of on-campus space.
The only guarantee that can be offered completely, said Pogue,
is that SUNYA will help students find housing using the services
currently offered through the Off Campus Housing Office
(OCHO).
OCHO offers listings of apartments available if the unit has been
brought to their attention, said the office's director, Tom
Gebhardt, who stressed that OCHO was only a "referral service"
and could not help actually place a student in an off campus
situation.

"Overall, the quality of care provided

the equal of any in the world," Axelrod
said. "But the Department of Health must
be able to identify and respond to untoward incidents which threaten the safety
of patients and the well-being of future
patients."
National attention was focused earlier

MANAGING EDITOR
Drawing most of their persuasive ammunition from an afternoon's conversation at W.T.'s, a British debate team convinced a roomful of listeners Tuesday
night that civil disobedience is wrong.
Though they strayed from the official
topic: "This House Would Break a Bad
Law," the two Englishmen'delighted the
audience at the Albany-Oxford debate
with their witty comments on issues ranging from the minimum drinking age to the
worldwide lawyer surplus.
A crowd of approximately 100 students,
gathered in the Campus Center Assembly
Hall to watch the event, which was cosponsored by the Albany State Debate
Society and Speaker's Forum.
While the host team based its arguments
in favor of breaking a "bad law" on 20
hours of preparation, the Englishmen
claimed to have prepared for "four or five
minutes."
While the Albany duo of Diane Sepanski and Steve Mundie asserted that laws
should be violated if they are
"illegitimate "."inequitable", or
"promote evil", Michael Hall of Oxford,
accused his opponents of ignoring "big
questions, such as "How do we stop the
drinking age from going up?" and "How
do we get into law school and make lots of
money?"
It seems that the Debate Society unwittingly supplied much of the Englishmen's
debate material by discussing the drinking
age and the profusion of lawyers with
them at W.T.'s earlier that day.
"Breaking the law does not work", Hall
claimed. To demonstrate his point he
asserted the futility of changing the absurd
law which requires Americans to drive on
the right side of the road. By attempting to
change that law by driving on the "correct" side, "I would get crushed" he said.
Hall temporarily abandoned his position
early in the debate, urging the audience,
"we must defeat the lawyers and the only
way to do it is through civil disobedience."
Basing his argument on statistical
evidence that shows lawyers to be increasing at a faster rate than the general population, he warned, "In 14 years an absolute
majority of the population will be lawyers.
In 23 years everybody under the age of 42
will be a lawyer."
Despite his jibes at the legal profession.
Hall and his patner, David Lock, who is
actually from Cambridge, are studying to
become barristers, lawyers who argue
cases in court.
It seems probable that they will have
successful careers, for they made up for
their deficiencies in substance with a relaxed and confident style.
Sepanski, however, did win the crowd
over to her side at one point when she asked the audience whether civil disobedience
was justified if a person were sentenced to
eating UAS meals "365 days. . .three
times a day.
During a more serious moment, Sepanski asserted that it was "immoral for people to obey a bad law." Bad laws included
the anti-Semitic statutes of Nazi Germany
and the Jim Crow system in the United
States South, she claimed.
"If there is no mechanism to change a
law, it is not a law," countered Lock, "only an excercise of...unchecked authority."
By that defintion he said, laws did not exist
in Nazi Germany, because there was no
process for change.
"We can within the system...advocate
changes in the law," Locke, said, adding,
"by breaking the law, we destroy respect
for the system."
Responding to Albany's statement that
violating an "inequitable" law is just.
Lock asked, "Who should decide what is
inequitable?"
After the debate, the audience was asked
to show their support for one or the other
team, by exiting through designated doorways. The final tally favored the British
59-27.
Hall and Lock were scheduled to tour
Albany on Wednesday. SUNYA was their
third stop on their tour which will take
them through Washing1 on, D.C., Kentucky, and Wyoming among other states.
Their previous debates, entitled "Thank
God for the Atlantic" were held at Marist
and Saint Lawrence.
They said they were selected for the tour
by a competitive application process, but
they have no coaching or faculty support.
Their expenses are paid by the host
schools. In the case of their Albany trip,
the SUNYA Student Association paid the
bill.
Michael White, the Debate Society's
Vice President of On Campus Affairs, said
the Society hoped to sponsor more debates
on issues of interest to students this
semester.

For the first time in over ten years, Stu^
dent Association will be organizing student
evaluations Of SUNYA faculty, and the
result of the evaluations will be compiled
for students to consult before preregistration in the spring, said Michelle
Legendre, Chair of the Academic Affairs
Committee of Central Council.
"SCATE (Student Course and Teacher
Evaluation) hasn't been done in years, not
since 1975," said Legendre, adding, "it
takes a lot of effort."
The last survey, called ACT III (Assessment of courses and teachers), was difficult to use as it was just statistics, and no
narrative. It was very hard to follow,"
shew said.
"The main reason we're doing this is to
help people select courses, especially for
gen eel [general education requirements]
and because of the 'W' policy," said
Legendre. "It will be great working along
side with peer advisement," she added.
"We're going to distribute the findings
widely," said Legendre. "A couple of
thousand dollars has been set aside in the
SA budget for it," she added.
"We will be working with (Associate)
Vice President for Academic Affairs
Harry Hamilton and Pat Terenzini, special
assistant to President O'Leary." Legendre
added that the SCATE project is being

administration.
"A couple of years ago, the University
Senate passed a bill that required all.
courses to be monitored and we'll be work-,
ing with them," said Legendre. "The;
resulting book will be either very cheap or
free," she said.
Currently, both SUNY-Buffalo and
SUNY-Binghamton have SCATE's, according to Legendre. "Buffalo has a whole
course on how to do SCATE," she said,
adding, "Both Buffalo and Binghamton
also have S A Vice Preside its for Academic
Affairs who do SCATE."
According to Centra) Council Chair Bill
McCann, SA is considering a similar position. Student Association of the State
University (SASU) had a resolution to
push for an SA Vice President for
Academic Affairs 'at all State Universities," McCann said; Currently, the
academic Affairs Committee of the Central Council is handling SCATE.
"We're just working on the logistics
with the administration. We're not sure yet
of how it will come out or what classes will
be surveyed," said Legendre. "Also we
have the.questions we want to ask. It is a
matter of cost and who will administer the
evaluation," she said.

ASRC receives grant
The Atmospheric Sciences Research Center
(ASRC) has been awarded a $3.5 million grant by
the Federal government to investigate the death of
forests in the eastern United States.
The ASRC will coordinate its research with other
atmospheric scientists and forest specialists through
the East to evaluate the effect of atmosphere contaminants on forests.
The project, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency, will use ASRC's Whiteface Mountain Field Station to collect data about the Adirondacks, where thin soil levels have difficulty
neutralizing acid rain.
A federal court in Philadelphia recently ruled
that Temple University must let military recruiters,

Military wins battle
According to Temple University officials,
Philadelphia's anti-descrimination laws forced the
school to bar the military. However, U.S. district
court judge James Giles said in his decision that
military rules supercede local laws.
Last year, SUNYA's Student Association sought
to deny military recruiters a table in the Campus
Center, but was overruled by the university
administration.

The November 19 summit meeting in Geneva between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev will
encompass mainly weapon issues, but there will
probably be pressure from President Reagan about
Soviet Jewry as well.
The Revisionist Zionist Alternative (RZA) feels
President Reagan will make this issue a major one
at the bargaining table. ' 'He (Reagan) says that this
is a major concern that must be dealt with," said
RZA President Robin Berloff.
During the Festival of Sukkot, petitions about
the summit are being distributed. On November
10, RZA will participate in a rally on The Soviet
Consulate in New York. Other activites protesting
decreasing Soviet Jewish immigration will take
place throughout this semester, said Berloff.

As the University prepares to
upgrade the current mainframe
computer system, on-campus
computer user rooms have been
relocated to provide better access
for students.
A mainframe is a large'scale
computer system designed for use
with many desk-top terminals.
One of Albany's mainframes, the
Sperry 1100-83, is over 20 years
old.
The computer terminals in the
user rooms were moved this fall
to create more space as well as to
accomodate student needs. The
15 computer terminals and 5 IBM
microcomputers were relocated
from CS22 to LC 15 and LCB 27.
"The main reason for changing
the rooms," said Leif Hartmark,
acting Director of the Computing
Center, "was to try and improve
the service and allow students
greater access to the computers."
Hartmark said he felt that the
microcomputers weren't getting
enough use in CS 22 in the Computing Center and by relocating
them to a more accomodating
area, students would be ' more
likely to use them. Although the
user terminals have always been
in demand, they are now being
"heavily used" in the new room.
perclass undergraduate teaching
assistant to help them answer
questions while doing the problems themselves."
There have been few problems
with this new computer set-up,
according to Panzl. "We hope to
encourage more students to use
the terminals," she said.
Most of the students who use
the computer terminals are taking
a computer-related course, Panzl
said. Introductory level computer
classes are given in many fields of
study and can be beneficial to
almost any major, she said.
Funding for the relocation of
the user rooms was provided by
thew Student Computing Access
Program (SCAP). The program
was established by the New York
Legislature, making it mandatory
for SUNY students to pay a $25
fee added to their tuition. 1

technology, though, the system

not travel much faster than the

Another plan is called the Rail

The nature of an attack would

Avoiding the controversies surrounding his topic Tuesday night,
Physics Professor Dr. Keith
Ratcliffe gave an instructional
lecture on the Strategic Defense

critics as "Star Wars."
Star Wars is a part of President
Reagan's military arms build-up
which has been assailed by critics
as a dangerous escalation of the
arms race. The idea is to construct
a system that would destroy incoming nuclear missiles, but opponents say it is impossible to
create a reliable anti-missile
system.

ICAC hopes programs have
students running to sports
By Jim Avery
To breathe new life into SUNYA's
athletics, changes will have to be made in
the Intercollegiate Athletics committee
(ICAC), according to it's new chair Mark
Rivers.
ICAC has primarily been a budgetary
committee dividing almost 250,000
, a
year between SUNYA's amletfc tetmtt.
The money comes out of the student activity fee, but the committee has a history of
deficit spending.
"It's the students' money that's going
into the ICAC programs," said Rivers. "It
should be the chair who plays an important part in what happens to the money,
from budgets to planning, at every level,"
he added.
Rivers has developed a wide-ranging
plan addressing both monetary concerns
and increasing school spirit. "The students
should get the most out of what they pay
in," he said, adding that he hopes to see
the two ends of his goals feed off one
another, building momentum as the year
progresses.
The central part of Rivers' plan is the
formation of a booster club to support the
Danes, and raising money independently
through various methods. The booster
club would then put that money into
athletics through an ongoing fund.
"It could fund sports which might not
otherwise get the money. Hockey is a club
— we'd like to turn it into an intercollegiate," said Rivers, adding that "further on down the line, we might decide to
light up the football field so we can play
-night games. With this fund the money
would be there."
Rivers has designed a new athletic logo,
and he said he hopes to market it on sweatshirts, mugs and banners. Profits will be
added to the ICAC's fund. ...
Promotion is another of Rivers concerns
as he hopes to hold some events offcampus, increasing ICAC's visibility
through media coverage. "I want to use
Heritage Park to reach out into the community. This in turn will bring more
students in," he said. Rivers said it might
be possible to hold a lacrosse doubleheader
in the park in the near future.
Besides taking events off-campus,
Rivers would like to bring special events
onto campus, including championship
wrestling. According to Rivers, exhibitions
by the Harlem Globetrotters and guest
speakers like George Steinbrenner and
Howard Cosell are being considered.
"We want to make people aware that we
are one of the finest Division III schools in
the country," Rivers said, adding that
"Unlike many schools, SUNYA is committed to building." As proff of our
school's athletic abilities. Rivers cited that
Coach Munsey had just celebrated his
200th victory track meet in cross country.
"No matter wfiat we do, Albany will
never be a Division I team. It's a matter of
making the most of it," said Rivers.
"Other Division III schools make athletics
an important part of campus.life," he
added.
According to Rivers, ICAC is not just
athletics, but entertainment, and this includes halftime shows with bands or an
organized tug of war contest. "Sports will
be playing an increasing role. Things will
be shifting, especially with the 21 year old
drinking age," he said.
When asked about the "Bubble," a mini
sports arena to be built near the gym.
Rivers said "The bubble will definitely
spark more interest. The main thing it will
do is free up space" in the gym. The bubble, which will provide temporary indoor
room for the teams until the fieldhousc is
completed in 1988 will be ready for use in
the spring '86 season.
Overall, Rivers is expecting a good year,
and a new commitment to a growing
athletic department. His main goal is "to
get more students out there."

Students have been "very enthusiastic"
about signing up for the new Student Advocacy and Rights Coalition (SARC), according to one of the group's organizers.
In fact, students are joining in numbers far
exceeding what was originally hoped for.
Phil Botwinick, the SARC coordinator
for State Quad, said, "On Monday,
September 30, on dinner lines we had
several people running table sign-ups for
SARC. The students were very responsive;
in fact, most students were more than willing to sign up once we told them we would
be informing them about important student issues."
SARC organizers "started with an
original goal of 2,000. We now have at
least 2,900, and it's still moving," said
Steve Gawley, Student Association president and the person responsible for getting
SARC organized and underway. He added, "the response has been fantastic. It's
significant having all of these people sign
up and giving permission to call them."
SARC started with a two day recruitment drive which was extended to a full
week because the response was so strong.
They wanted to make sure they got to
every door on all five quads, and will most
likely be tabling in the Campus Center to
reach off-campus students, as well.
According to Jeff Rosen, the coordinator for Colonial Quad, "about 95 percent of studetns who were asked to sign up
said yes." SARC, he said, "Is a good Idea
and a good way.to keep people informed."
Dutch Quad' coordinator John Giarrusso added, "Almost everyone who we
approached didn't have any problem with
signing or becoming Involved. They were
really happy an effort was made to unify
the student body. No one had any animosity or minded our going door-to-door." Of
the students who said no, he said,' he
thinks it's "just bec'uase they're scared of
getting in trouble with their name on a list,
even though it was stressed that they
wouldn't get in trouble — especially with
two to three thousand names. At most, so
far, five refused to sign."
Larry Hartman, a member of the SARC
steering committee and a chair of the SA
Student Action Committee, said, "SARC
is an information network to give students
news before it happens. It is a good idea as
far as getting students more involved in
what's happening and so any student can
feel comfortable getting involved with
SA."
Not only are students signed up, but
campus groups have designated representatives that sit on the SARC Board, said
Gawley. The number of groups
represented, he added, has about doubled
and now stands at 36.
"If a student Issue arises that would undoubtedly alter or change student lives, it
is our obligation as well as responsibility to
educate students to these Issues," said
Botwinick.
. Glarrusso added that one of the issues
that SARC could become involved with is
the alcohol policy. "More than half of the
people who signed up were concerned with
the alcohol policy. They arc willing to rally
to be able to drink on campus. They said
just to give them a call."
Rosen said he thinks SARC "is going to
be effective, even if only 20 percent of people called come to a rally. SARC will
hopefully be repeated year after year
because it will keep students in touch."
Gawley said, "the administration will
have to view us differently. We will turn
out hundreds of students on issues of concern to students. SA has gone a long way
in changing the fundamental power relationship between students and the ad13*

My night
If I could take back the night:
— I would take back the night that I really
wanted ice cream but it was after ten o'clock
and even a walk around the block would
have been a risk.
— I would take back the night that someone
followed me home and then stood, blocking
my door, until my friend's boyfriend came
out and chased him away.
— I would take back the night that my
friend was attacked on her way home from
shopping.
— And I would take back all those nights
that nothing frightening happened, but I
still walked in fear, with sweaty palms, my
eyes fixed on the path ahead, telling myself
that there was nothing but a stray cat hiding
in the shadows, telling myself that the man I
noticed in back of me just happened to be
going in my direction and at my pace. Only
the knowledge that every step was one step
closer to home, where there would be light
and I would feel safe, kept me from
panicking.
— I would take back all those nights I walked with a man, grateful for the escort, yet
resentful that I had to depend on him, and
angry that the night makes me helpless in
some ways.
— I would take back the nights that have
robbed me of my freedom: the ominous
darkness dictating when, where, how, and
with whom I could go out.
— And I would take back all those nights
that every woman has suffered through
these indignities, her plans limited in every
way by the setting of the sun, her. independence temporarily giving way to an
after-dark helplessness she can't overcome.
Tonight, at 7 p.m., I will take back the
night. I will join with other women from the
capital district in a march to reclaim the
streets. We're meeting on the State Capitol
steps. From there we'll march through
downtown Albany, enjoying the safety that
comes in numbers, for once, not afraid of
what's lurking in the shadows, or around
the next corner.
It may be little more than a symbolic
demonstration of the anger I often feel
when I'm afraid to go out, but I'll be at
tonight's march because, despite all the
beautiful sunsets that lead to nightfall, and
all the special moments that only a moonlit
starry night can create, and the sight of
Manhattan's night lights that always leaves
me in awe, if I could take back the night, I
think I probably would.
Their night
1 want to take back the night, if only by
going to the State Capitol tonight to show
my support for the women who march,
because I resent a society that puts some of
my friends in danger, simply because
they're women.
And I want to take back the night because
a woman should have the same rights as I
do: to walk under the stars when the nights
are cool, or just to walk to chopper if she
realizes she needs milk and it's after dark.
Men won't be invited to march tonight,
The women will go together, without men,
where they wouldn't dare to be alone. And
I'll sit there on the Capitol steps as a show
of my support, as I did last year, happy for
my friends. Happy because tonight they will
triumph over the violence that reigns in the
night.

To the Editor:
Even after a personal inspection of the devastation
caused by the earthquakes that ravished Mexico City last
month, it is difficult for me to fathom the extent of
human misery they sowed. The massive tremors
destroyed hundreds of buildings, leaving in their wake
more than 5500 dead, over .8000 wounded, many
thousands missing, and hundreds of thousands homeless,
unemployed, or both. Despite the 50,000 volunteers and
government laborers working around the clock to save as
many victims as possible, the stench of human bodies
decomposing hung heavily over the most affected areas in
a matter of days. Hundreds left without homes or belongings stood vigil by the remnants of their old
neighborhoods, others, too dazed to make sense of their
shattered lives, were led to private and were led to private
and public shelters. Some, traumatized by the overwhelming nature of their personal loss, began to wander
aimlessly around the city, with family in tow, in the midst
of ambulances, volunteer emergency vehicles, and
curious sightseers.
The quakes hit the poor and the middle class. But those
with fewer resources suffered and will suffer more and
longer. Many of the poor were either unemployed or had
marginal or casual employment, neither of .which can
yeild a paycheck, however delayed, on the next payday.
The indigent are particularly likely to be without adequate potable water, as the long lines at the public faucets
and distribution trucks in less affluent areas make clear.
And the poor, lacking in insurance, savings, education,
mobility, or networks will be left with only basic government assistance for the long and difficult process of putting their lives back in order. Nonetheless, however much
they may be missing in material means, the needy exhibited immense human resources. They have been on the
front lines of'the volunteer brigades and provided much
of the leadership needed in the first days of the chaos.
Their strong sense of rootedness in their neighborhoods
may yet prevail over government attempts, already present, to dislodge them from the inner city and eject them
into impoverished rural areas. As a sign of popular
mobilization to come, many of the neighborhood orphans and homeless children of those missing have been
jealously guarded by poor local mothers, who, not infrequently, have refused to permit government officials to
take them away to be put in shelters or in the homes of

strangers.
The anticipated cost of reconstruction could reach one
billion dollars, much of which will have to be provided by
foreign governments and banking Institutions. This large
sum will be needed to rebuild hospitals, public housing,
and sources of employment; in the meantime, we need to
keep in mind the real human suffering taking place right
now and our capacity to relieve some of it immediately.
Mexico is currently responding to the emergency with all
the resources at its disposal; however, money for the
myriad., immediate necessities to keep body and soul
together is sorely heeded. Financial assistance is required
for short and long term shelters to be built before the cold
winter nights begin.
Money is also needed to assist in the reconstruction of
neighborhoods; to help in the difficult task of reuniting
lost children and family members; to provide special care
for children, the elderly, and the destitute; and to supplement the work of volunteers working to save, mend and
protect the lives of thousands of traumatized Mexicans.
The proper moral response to the great suffering of
others is our generous sacrifice. I urge you all to help our
neighbors in need by contributing to Fuerza Latina's
Mexico earthquake relief projects on campus.

To the Editor:
With the change in New York's alcohol purchase age
rapidly approaching, all of us in the marginal age bracket
should remember to be responsible drinkers if, despite the
law, we decide to continue to drink. For the last five
years, due largely to increased alcohol awareness and
education, less than one percent of New York state's 18 to
21-year-olds have been involved in alcohol related accidents per year.
Perhaps the prohibition of alcohol purchases by legal
adults under 21 is not the best way to handle the problem
created by drunk drivers, but the overall purpose of this
law is invariably a worthy one: the reduction of alcohol
related fatalities. As the victim of a drunk driver , I speak
with personal knowledge of the devastating effect a drunk
driver can have not only on himself, gut on passengers
and/or other motorists as well.
With public attention presently focused on student
rights and what can be done to protect them, it is imperative that each of us do every thing possible to protect
our rights now. But also, it is equally imperative that if
we decide to drink, we do it with the responsibility that we
claim to deserve and try so vehemently to protect.

Hockey kudos
To the Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Marc
Berman, ASP Sports Editor, for his terrific article on the
accomplishments of the Ice Hockey Team. We've come a
long way in a short-time and contributions such as his
over the past two years should never go unrecognized.
The article, however, neglected to mention an individual who, with others, is directly responsible for the
success and great strides of this team on and off the ice.
He is Charter-member, Vice-President and team captain,
Rich Diem. In our organization he has spanned the levels
of enthusiasm from poster pinning and meeting organizing to being the catalyst during team work-outs. He is a
man who defines the terms team player and leader and his
accomplishments and contributions should never go
unrecognized or unrewarded.
Thanks so much, Rich, on behalf of the entire Albany
State Ice Hockey Team, and here's looking forward to a
very successful season.

Not an issue
To the Editor:
There are times when delicate situations seem to be
unapproachable, but I have no reservations approaching
this situation. I am referring to, perhaps the most eyeopening tragedy to strike SUNYA, the disappearance of
Karen Wilson.
On March 27,1985 there was a handful of people who
had forgotten the entire world and had only one question
on their minds: "What happened to Karen?" Six months
later, we still don't know, but we haven't forgotten
Karen.
This is what provokes my letter. It seems that some
people are confused about Karen's situation. I would
like to say a few things in hopes of clarifying any
misinterpretations, most importantly 1 would like to
make a distinction: First, there was Karen then there was
the disappearance of Karen.
There is quite a difference between the aforementioned. On the one hand there is Karen Wilson the person,
On the other, there is Karen Wilson the issue..
I respectfully request that people, and organization, remain consciously aware of this differentiation. "It may
be too late for Karen Wilson, but it's not too late for
you" (October 1 ASP ) is a prime exemple of my
objection.
I don't make this request as "Karen's RA" nor do I
make this request as "the guy who lives across the hall."
I make this request, as a very close friend who remembers
Karen as Karen, and as someone who refers to as such,
not a political issue.
Six months ago Karen was a SUNY student, not a
SUNY issue.
— Rich Cantwell
Defends rally
To the Editor:
I would like to respond to a letter that appeared in the
October 1, 1985 issue of the ASP, by Mr. Nicholas Green.
Mr. Green, it seems, was greatly perturbed by the fact
that his Astromomy Club meeting on September 23, 198S
was interrupted by protest for SUNY divestment held
outside the Campus Center. Mr.'Green in his letter implied that the protest was a pep rally of misguided ignoramuses, whose only accomplishment was to drown
out the beautiful music of the spheres being discussed in
the Physics Building.
That someone would have the audacity, even in his
most intimate, unspoken thoughts, to equate a meeting of
the Astromomy Club, during which members were instructed on how to use a telescope, with a protest calling
for the end of funding the most blatantly racist government of the century is beyond me. The disfunctioning of a
twisted mind is something I shall leave to the Psychology
majors to ponder.
Those of us out on the podium that night, as well as
those of us who stood in the rain outside of SUNY Central the next morning were voicing our "single opinion"
because in this country, we can. The people of South
Africa are murdered everyday at athe hands of a government funded by American dollars — our American
dollars. If we feel this is wrong we have the right to say
so, whether it disturbs the Astronomy Club or not. If it
were not for protestors throughout history like the ones at
SUNY, asinine comments like Mr.Green's could not be
voiced in this country without someone's head getting
bashed in with a stick.
It is very easy for people, perhaps, to turn their heads
from places in the world like South Africa and instead to
look up at the stars. When the sky comes crashing down
on them one day, it won't be because of anything they
ever studied in astronomy.
We might alt be dust one day, as Mr. Green suggests,
and those stars might still be up there, but without these
"short-lived" protests now, they won't be looking down
on such a pretty world.

The Music Department sponsors six different ensembles.
Ensembles right on key when
students seek musical outlets
By Caryn Mlske
STAFF WRITER
"Join a music department
ensemble" read the most recent
leaflet plastered across the
podium and although most
students have seen the signs,
many are probably unsure about
what comprises an ensemble.
The music department sponsors
six different ensembles, and while
students can get credit for participating, Prof. David Janower,
who runs both the University
Chorale and Chamber Singers,
pojpted put, "a large majority of
the students join the ensembles
without receiving credit."
He went on to discuss the differences between the two choral
ensembles he organizes. "Any
university should provide a place
where students, regardless of
talent, can get together and sing,"
said Janower. This function is
provided by the University
Chorale, which has 100 members
and does not base membership on
auditions.
scenery, costume and dance in the
Campus Center Ballroom.
The Chamber Singers, as a
group, are often paid for their
performances, Janower said,
although they do present some
concerts free of charge. Since the.
University Music Department has
an insufficient budget to fully
fund the ensemble, any monies
made by the groups are used for
expenses, Janower
added.
Members also run a coffee shop
which sells donuts and candy bars
to raise extra money.
Jennifer Sgueglia, a sophomore
in the Chamber Singers, explained, "I joined the group because I
enjoy singing and like the positive
atmosphere one has in a small
ensemble." Contrary to popular
belief, not everyone in the ensemble is a music major. Sgueglia is a
prospective business majorwho,
when asked is all the hard work
was worth one credit, replied,
"No. We meet twice a week for
one hour and forty minutes. Then
I still have to practice on my own
from three to five hours a week.
"As long as one attends the

"Representatives will be giving calls when an important issue arises, if we feel there's a need that
students be informed on issues, and if necessary, to
mobilize students to react and swiftly and forcefully
up their talent."
The SO members present two
performances each semester, with
the first concert scheduled for October 29 at 8:00 in the Main
theatre in the Performing Arts
Center. It will be an all Russian
performance, presented in conjunction with the University
Chorale.
In the past, a small group from
the Orchestra has also played for
theatre productions on campus.
The University Percussion
Ensemble, directed by Richard
Albagli, is the most exotic and innovative o f the ensembles.
A l b a g l i is a g r a d u a t e of
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
(RPI), Eastman and is also the
Principal Percussionist of the
Albany Symphony.
Albagli explained that percussion instruments produce sound
by striking two objects together,
and said there is a limitless range
of timbres since one can use
anything from flower pots and
iron pipes to the more conventional drums and xylophone. The
music tends to be avante garde
and is capable of being both
melodic and rythmic, he added.
The ensemble has 10 members
and gives three major performances a year. In addition, the
touring ensemble plays at both
elementary and high schools.
A third performing group is the
University Rag-Time Mallet
Ensemble, which plays the music
of Scott Joplin and songs from
shows like Star Wars, Music
Man, and West Side Story.
Lastly, the University Jazz
Ensemble is directed by Professor
Ray Rcttig, a noted area jazz
musician who graduated from
Berkley College of Music in 1976.
The ensemble, which Rettig formed six years ago, has performed
for the governor, at the Convention Center at the Empire Plaza
and at various nightclubs.
Rettig commented, "We'll play
anywhere — we're open to suggestion." Also, towards the end
of the semester they will play at
the Rathskellar on Monday or
Thursday nights.
P
stand up for their rights," said Rosen.
Hartman said he thinks "activism is on the rise
on campus and across the country. I think SARC is
just an answer to all the cries for more responsive
action that students really care about."

Yes. If your alleged misconduct

If I am accused of academic

Albany bowlers enter league
By Sal Perednia
This past Sunday, the Governing Board of the Tri-State
College Bowling Conference
voted unanimously to accept a
men's and women's team from
SUNYA as full participating
teams for the 1985-86 season.
The decision is a culmination
of the three-year effort by the
Bowling Club to gain entrance
into the only recognized intercollegiate bowling league in the
vicinity of the Capital District.'
In addition to admittance into the conference, Albany State
will host one of the eight league
tournaments. The tournament
is tentatively set for Sunday,
November 17 and it will be held
at an outside bowling center in
the Albany area. Campus
Lanes, the 12-lanc on-campus
bowling center, cannot hold
the ten men's teams and five
women's teams.
The men's squad consists of
six bowlers, while the women
have four players bowling each
game. Each tournament consists of six games, three in the
team event and three doubles
games. The competing teams
can win trophies forthe two individual, doubles, and team
events of each tournament,
while the tournament scores
also count toward team
standings.
The Tri-State Conference
Champion will advance to the
sectionals, and if they are
triumphant there, will travel to
the National Championships in
Houston, Texas.
Some of the Dane bowlers'
opponents this season will include crosstown rival RPI,
West Point, Boston University,
WPI, Brandeis University, and
Bryant College.
The Bowling Club runs a
league for its members on
Tuesday nights at 9:30 p.m. at
Campus Lanes. For information on the Bowling Club or the
other campus leagues, call or
visit Campus Lanes.

"He's not 100 percent, but he's
getting his speed back," said
Ford. ''He hasn't even hit 100
yards yet in three games, and he's
a 1000-yard rusher."
To beat the Chiefs, the Danes
must contain Brian Timbrook, a
quarterback with blazing speed
and a very quick release, said
Ford. Other key players include
6'4", 225 lb. tight end Steve
Smith and Stacy Eason, a
dangerous kickoff and punt
returner.
"We need to get a win to get
some confidence back," said
DeLong. "We need to win
against a tough opponent, and
any team that can go with Ithaca
15-10 is a good team."
Perhaps the biggest difference
between the team that faced
Ithaca three weeks ago and the
team that the Chiefs will play
Saturday is the play of Milano.
Coming off a year layoff,
Milano was rusty against the
Bombers. But he looked like the
signal-caller of old against RPI
and Brockport, moving the team
with authority.
"Something w_as.,lagking in the
Ithaca game," said Ford. "He
lacked that cocky feeling that
good quarterbacks have. Mike's a
leader, and he drives people. He
didn't have that quality to lead

have that against Brockport and
RPI."

Women harriers lose fourth
By Rachel Braslow
STAFF WRITER
The Albany State women's cross country teams' record dropped to 9-4-1 after
suffering a loss on Tuesday to a strong
Smith College team.
In what was a highly contested battle
between the two 1984 NCAA Division III
qualifying teams, host Smith College compiled 23 points, Albany 36, and Mount
Holyoke College 73. Oneonta, due to inadequate numbers did not score.
The 2.9S mile course is "very challenging" according to Albany's head coach
Ron White. White added that "this is a
completely different Smith team than last
year's." During the 1984 season, Albany
beat Smith at the Easterns, but lost to
them in Ohio at the NCAA's. The two
teams will meet up again in October at the
Easterns.
Co-captain Karen DeFeo placed first for
Albany and second overall with a time of
19:27. Teammate Kim Petrichord, running
twenty seconds behind DeFeo, placed third
overall. Smith took the next five spots.
Sophomore Roseanne Smith, "runner of
the meet," was a solid ninth. Kitty
Sullivan was tenth followed by Freshman
Marylou Webster.'
The Danes continue to be plagued by injuries. "It was a disappointment in knowing we have the runners to beat that type of
Smith team," "White said adding, "We did
our best, I felt it was a challenging course
with some of the best footing I've ever
seen."
The quadrangular meet Tuesday marked
the end of dual-meet competition. The rest
of the meets on the agenda are
invitationals.
Saturday, the Danes will compete in the
LeMoyne Invitational in Syracuse. The
region will come together for the first time
over a demanding course. This should be
an indication to the Albany team of what's
to come.

By Cathy Errlg
STAFF WRITER
after 4-3 defeat
,
Going into Wednesday's home game
against Union College, a team ranked second in New York State and eighth nationally, the expectations of the Albany
State men's soccer team were mixed.
"We didn't quite have the intensity, I
think going into the game we expected to
lose," said midfielder Warren Manners.
"What was definitely in our minds was the
fact that Union defeated Cortland 6-1, the
same score Cortland beat us by on
Saturday."
,.,.
However, also in the Danes' minds was
the result of last years' game,, in which
Union had defeated Albany in the last
minute of the game.
"That gives us incentive," said head
:oach Bob Schieffelin. "We're going into
the game with nothing to lose."
The result of this mixed attitude was a
2-1 Albany loss, a tough loss for the Danes
to accept, who led through most of the
game.
"We had a different strategy going into
this game," said co-captain Carl loos.
"Against Cortland, we had tried to run
with them, which didn't work because they
were so much faster and better conditioned. For this game, we boxed in our own
defensive side and let Union come to us."
"We let them get to our midfleld line,
letting Union have their own half. We'd let
them get all bunched-up, then we'd try to
get the ball over the bunch," said senior
defenseman Frantz Michel.
This is what happened 20:55 into the
first half. Michel executed a long pass to
co-captain Tihan Presbie for the game's
first goal.
"If Tihan beats out his defender," said
loos, "99 times out of 100 the ball will go
in. His play inspires the whole team."
Both Union goals were scored in the second half of the game. At 69:50 from the

S. Louis
(AP) The St. Louis Cardinals have been
through too much to start relaxing now.
After watching a 10-inning shutout
effort wasted and after watching a fourgame lead in the National League East
with a week to play dwindle to a onegame edge, the Cardinals were in no
mood to celebrate after they Anally beat
the New York Mets 4-3 Thursday night.
"Wecan't have a letdown after this,"
winning pitcher Danny Cox said. "We
still have got to beat the Cubs."
The victory cut St. Louis' magic
number to two with three games left.
"We know we've got to win two more
games because I think they will win
three," Cardinals Manager Whitey Herzog said of the Mets.
"We can't let up. We've got three
more games laft against the Cubs," said
Vince Coleman, who broke a 1-1 tie
with a two-run single in the fourth inning. "And they're not going to lay down
for us."
The Mets had 13 hits and stranded 10
base runners against five St. Louis pitchers, but most of the time New York
couldn't get a hit when it counted.
"It's a game you'll look at and say,
'If this happened . . . if we'd made this
play . . .' but it's baseball," said Mets
first baseman Keith Hernandez, who
had five hits. "We had some breaks the
first two games."
Coleman had just two hits in his
previous 20 at-bats going into the game,
but he came through with three in the
finale of the three-game series.
Cox, 18-9, allowed nine hits in six innings, but limited the Mets to two runs.
Loser Rick Aguilera, 10-7, also gave up
nine hits in six innings.

Danes face Springfield as schedule toughens
By Dean Chang
Fun and games are over for the
Albany State Great Danes. Springfield College is coming to
town.
Forget about RP1 and
Urockport. The scoreboard
operator won't be quite as busy
this week; Albany isn't likely to
score 40-50 points against Springfield, a Division II school.
The Chiefs lost 16-7 last week'
to Southern Connecticut, a
l e g i t i m a t e D i v i s i o n II
powerhouse. If they can repeat
their strong defensive performance of a week ago against the
Danes, Albany will be fortunate
to get any points on the board.
Against RPI and Urockport,
scoring was the least of Albany's
concerns. The Danes outscored
the two teams 90-16, gaining a
needed boost of confidence, after
dropping a close decision to
Ithaca in the team's first game of
the season.
Ithaca and Springfield play the
same type of defense, a "50" formation that has given the Danes
trouble in the past. But Albany
Head Coach Bob Ford said it was
the personnel, and not the
defense that gave the Danes
problems.
"Springfield has a solid defensive unit that plays well
together," said Ford. "But
they're not quite in Ithaca's
category."
The Chiefs often disguise their
defensive formations, in an attempt to confuse opposing

quarterbacks. Dane quarterback
Mike Milano, who missed last
year's contest, is looking forward
to deciphering Springfield's
defense,
"Their defense is more complex than Ithaca's," said Milano.
"But it's just a matter of
recognizing the defense and executing against it. I think our offense runs well against that type
of defense."
Chief Head Coach Mike
DcLong said one of the keys to
beating the Danes was to contain
Milano.
"He's a hell of a player," said
DcLong. "As a trigger-man on
the wishbone, he's perfect. He
has excellent feet, quick reflexes
and great vision — he's perfect
for-that type of offense."
Springfield's record is a deceptive 0-2; their other loss was
against American International,
another tough opponent. The
Chiefs are an inexperienced team,
something that was apparent
against AIC, according to
DeLong.
"We've got a lot of young kids
on both sides of the ball," said
DeLong. "Against AIC, we were
not a very good team at all. But
on defense, we grew up quickly
against Southern Connecticut.
Those guys are simply at a different level; you guys will see next
week."
Southern Connecticut,

The Danes are already at a
disadvantage against the Chiefs,
thanks to an ill-fated Brockport
bus that moved last week's game
a day ahead to Sunday. That
means one less day to recover
from injuries, and one less day'to
prepare for Saturday's game.
"Having one less day does
make a difference," said
DeLong. "The day of rest on
Sunday is important, and the one
day less of preparation didn't
help Coach Ford much. As a
coach, I would not like that."
Ford doesn't see the one less
day as a "major problem." He
didn't have a chance to go over
the films, but he didn't have to.
He saw last week's game
firsthand along with about eight
of his coaches.
"They're not a great football
team," said Ford. "But Southern
Connecticut is awesome, and they
only lost 16-7."

ream you once had? Well just think of it
from this poor guy's point of view. He had
to live through it. And between quitting
time one day and punch-in the next morning, he almost lost his life, his ability to
move, and probably most importantly, his
sanity. All because he didn't want to be
alone, if only for an evening.,
I really felt for this pathetic character.
And for all the pathetic characters in this
movie. And what's more, for all the
pathetic characters that dwell in today's
New York City. This film is a comedy, and
it did make the audience laugh. I was in
hysterics, but at the same time I felt a certain fear of dissatisfaction, knowing that
while there's probably something better
out there, there's definitely going to be
something a lot worse. No character in any
situation ever proved this to me better than
John did in his lurid "After Hours" struggle
to return to his dull mid-town apartment,
and his dull mid-town life.
The plot, or more appropriately, the sequence of events, seems a bit bizarre, and
following it all the way may be a task of
the devil. But, Director Martin Scorcese,
whose Mean Streets (1973) was a different
attempt at scaring the viewer away from city life, seems less concerned with the plot
than with the atmosphere it creates. He
thrusts the viewer into the city-scape for
ninety or so minutes, and.then challenges
him or her to come out of it thinking of
New York as "nirvana," or even as a great
place to visit. This film can make a person
go to sleep at night and dream about the city as the netherworld, where anything can
happen, and the craziest things usually do.
The best part about this movie is that the
actors play the parts that they're given to
play, rather than simply doing a build up
job on their reputations and shooting for a
dozen awards. They play human beings,
the kind that make the viewer think that he
or she could be any one of these people.
And this is what acting is all about.
For anybody who truly became terrified
of summer camp from Friday the 13th, or
still fells a chill when thinking about the
ocean after having seen laws a few times,
this movie almost guarantees to scare the
daylights out of you whenever you think
about the city, especially a city in which
any of the film's events, when taken out of
the film, could be a typical headline in the
Post.
After Hours can be seen as a horror film,
an art film, or a human comedy,but to get
that scary-fun thrill of a real life funhouse,
you just have to see it for what it is, one
fine night in New York.

After Hours is about a lonely guy named
John (Griffin Dunne) who decides he can't
take another night alone in his small midtown apartment. To escape, he goes to an
almost empty cof fee shop, sits at a table by
himself, and reads Miller's Tropic of
Capricorn. Across from him sits a girl who
is also a Miller fan, and she admits this to
him as he's reading. They have a cup of
coffee together, talk for a while, and work
their way towards exchanging phone
numbers. John goes back to his apartment,
waits a little while, calls her up, and makes
a date. He then takes a cab to SoHo. That's
his first mistake. What follows are a series
of mishaps that lead him to the conclusion
that New York at night is nothing but a
nightmare. He learns that the subway fare
has been raised, gets soaked to the bone in
a rainstorm, becomes a burglary suspect,
discovers the remains of a suicide victim,
nearly loses his hair in a "Mohawks Only"
nightclub, and is turned into a plaster of
paris sculpture. It's definitely not an evening in Paradise.
But for all it's worth, it's the people, not
the situations he encounters, that convince
him that he's not cut out for the New York
nightlife. The girl he originally meets in the
coffee shop (Rosanne Arquette) turns out
to be recovering from a divorce, the
grounds for which were the fact that her
husband, a Wizard of Oz fanatic, could not
have sexual intercourse without shouting,
"Surrender, Dorothy" all the way through
the act. Her roommate (Linda Fiorentino)
has a hobby of making erotic sculptures,
but makes her living selling handmade
plaster of paris bagel and cream cheese
paperweights? He also crosses paths with a
manic depressive anarchist (Teri Garr), a
psychotic ice cream vendor (Catherine
O'Hara), and an introverted barfly (Verna
Blqom). By 6:00 the next morning, John is
not a well man.

While last year's Larkfest rolled conspiratorily on, a few adventurous souls
were treated to Pig's first ever American
concert (at the E.B.A. Chapterhouse). His
total performance concept was so enthrall-,
ing that three more shows were hastily arranged in the area. By the time he returned
to his home town of St. Albans, Hertfordshire in England, hundreds of American
ears were abuzz with his sing-along refrains
and sensitive, seriocomic lyrics.
Clive first came to America's attention
with the help of Dmitri Rotov's Hopewell
Records. In late 1983, a rather particular
looking ad began popping up in various
new music magazines. Those who responded with their hard earned dollars were
repaid with a cassette simply titled Clive
Pig and the Hopeful Chinamen. The album
version was released a few months later.
As college radio began pushing the record,
little pockets of Pigmania broke out.
The album is a startling compilation of
tracks recorded in band arrangements ranging from military marches to frenetic dubs.
The most well-known song, "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen," is a letter perfect page
torn from adolescence. Others include
"Furious Table," a waltz through the
elements, and "Subtle Camels Stumble
Over," a song that immediately sends people into fits of XTC

however, are another thing entirely. While
scarcely more subdued, they cover an even

wider range. Beautiful, personal songs like
"At the Church Outside the Village" are
juxtaposed with "Benjamin Beat,"
children's stories and acapalle sing-alongs.
He must be seen and heard to be believed.
His style reveals the heart of the "Rogue
Folk" movement of which he is a leader.
The two prime elements of the movement
are cabaret and folk; the populist ideals,
storytelling mannerisms, and personal
tradition of folk music provides content,
the entertaining nature and cloaked commentary of cabaret is the medium. Clive's
music, therefore, is both entertaining and
thought provoking. He draws his audience
in with his totally unique sense of humor
and snares them with his sometimes bizarre
song structures. Pig's wonderfully unpredictable voice is the glue that holds the
melange together.
Clive is returning to Albany for a few
shows on his second American tour. He
will perform at the Halfmoon Cafe (a stop
he made almost exactly one year ago) on
Monday, October 7, and at Renssalear's
Duck Soup on Sunday, October 13. The
rumor mill has it that he will make a final
local appearance later in the month.
Pig, heavily influenced by David Byrne,
crosses all musical boundaries and will
surely be a treat once again. Do yourself a
favor and check him out — you'll become
a Pig-maniac, too.

Hurley's
My roommate woke up in a cold sweat. A primal utterance
escaped his lips. Then, a quick dash to the bathroom. Relieved of
what he described as a "blue jet of noxious, gaseous flame," he
slithered into bed, leaving the unpleasant bodily contortions
behind, so to speak. And as I lay in bed, my roommate's painfully
pinioned face indicated one very important thing to me — any
chicken wings that can make you feel that bad in the morning can't
have been anything but great the night before.
How often have we awoken only to have no memory of the
previous evening's feast? Ask your roommates what they had for
dinner last night. They can't remember, can they? Well, not only
can my roommate tell me what he ate last night, but I can usually
make a pretty good guess just from being near him. With Hurley's
wings, the whole dorm has a pretty good idea as well.
The previous evening, I ventured to Hurley's with three hall
mates. Wc received prompt service from a most kind and attractive
waitress; Shcrrie. We ordered the obligatory pitcher of Bud and
wings by the ten. For Stephen, my expressive roommate, the nod
went to mild. For Samuel J.M. Murray, (Sam the Man), hot was
preferred. For Susan, either a vegetarian or a weakling, french fries
were the order. This reporter opted for three-alarm wings.
I spread some Noxema on my virgin tongue and began consuming. The first impulse shot into my brain like the kiss at the end of a
wet fist. These were hot stuff. I quickly evacuated all taste buds incapable of the hot sizzle. Then it occured to me that these plump
little things actually had more than temperature to them, and that,
in fact, 1 enjoyed them. I was happy. My sinuses were ecstatic.
I Aspects
Samuel was having a slightly more intense time of it. Actually,
this was not a good evening for him to be partaking in the flaming
foul, for a deep and villainous sore of unknown origin had festered
within his fleshy cheek, causing mass hysteria among his more sensitive nerve cells. However, like a trooper, Sam is a tender man
eating a tough chicken. He maintained his native-born British wit,
and even uttered the humorous, although unoriginal comment,
"Think of all the wheel chairs they have to manufacture for those
poor chickens."
Sherrie, the waitress, was more than helpful, first, as the bearer
of wings and then as the purveyor of key World Almanac-type
chicken wing information. For example, Hurley's (and probably
other wing establishments) maintains their wings by the case. On
any given evening, they will prepare and sell five cases of wings of
alternating temperatures and flavors. There are 500 wings to a case.
That's a lot of wings, man.
We each ordered a second serving, except Susan, of course. I
asked Sherrie if there was anything hotter than three-alarm, as I
love spicy food. My, what a fool I was. She delivered, I suppose,
"ultra three-alarmers." If I remember correctly, they were tasty.
You see, my tongue went on strike. I couldn't really taste the
wings. However, since the previous order was so very tasty indeed,
one may assume that the ultra-threes were good as well.
As Sam toasted at the beginning of the evening, "To the
establishment of what a chicken wing really is." Well, I believe that
I now have scratched a little below the surface in my quest for the
meaning of wings.
• I truly recommend Hurley's. The service is prime, the wings
plump and tasty. Everybody I was with agreed with me. 1 can still
eat baby food for a snack.
By the way, don't ever go with your roommate.

A c r o s s t h e Street Pub
I received a call on Thursday. My mission, should I choose to accept it, was to get the real scoop on the infamous wings at the hot
spot known as Across the Street Pub. I decided I was equal to the
task. So I got together a small but efficient staff, quickly briefed
them on the assignment, and we were on our way.
Across the Street Pub is located at 1238 Western Avenue, and
like the name says, is directly across the street from the uptown
campus. This is a big plus since it eliminates the need to drive. We
made our visit on a Monday evening at about 11 pm. There were
many free tables, something you will definitely not find on a
weekend or a night when a good game is on TV. In general,
though, the place is never so crowded that you are fighting the person next to you for a spot to stand. It is not a stand up, "mingling"
type of bar. It is meant to be a place to sit and talk with a group of
friends and get something to eat and drink.
The atmosphere was described by my group as "homey." The
walls are done in orange and brown earth tones and are decorated
with simple pictures. It is dimly lit by colorful lamps. The oldfashioned fans on the ceiling add a nice touch. The music is basic
rock and roll and is kept at a volume so you don't have to scream
to be heard. Basically a clear, comfortable setting.
The waitress came over immediately. She was polite and friendly, as I've found most of the help there is. We ordered a pitcher of
beer and one order of hot and one order of mild wings.
Our food was served in about 12 minutes, but it can sometimes
take as long as 20 minutes on a crowded night. An order of wings
costs $2.75 and conies with 10 wings, four pieces of celery and a
small container of bleu cheese, dressing. We thought this seemed
pretty fair, except maybe they could have been more generous with
the bleu cheese. We agreed the size and consistency of the wings
were good. They were all fairly meaty and not too dry. The hot
wings were, in our opinion, easily the better of the two. The sauce
was not too thick and was spicy enough to give them a strong
flavor but did not leave your mouth burning. The mild went
beyond mild. They were wimpy. There was no sauce at all on them.
What they were soaking in was grease. One member of my group
said they even left an aftertaste of grease in her mouth. A person at
the next table who said he always ordered the mild told me the trick
was to dump the wings in the bowl meant for the bones so they
could drain. That seemes to work pretty well, but I'm not sure it
would improve them enough to get me to order them.
All in all, Across the Street Pub is a nice cozy place to just hang
out with friends and have a few drinks and get some food. No one
in my group said they would make a trip there specifically for the
wings, but three of the four of us said we'd probably order them if
we were there. People at other tables had different opinions. One
guy said he thought the sauce was the best around, and he came all
the time for the wings. Another said the proximity to campus was a
bonus but complained the beer was too expensive. On our way out,
a member of my group summed up his thoughts, "They're better

Sutter's
It was a late September afternoon. You know the type where the
leaves are just turning and the sun warms you just enough to sweat.
The mood, in my apartment was tentative. It had been a day of studying, and I'd just about had it. Suddenly, the phone rang. I
answered, "M.F. here. Student by diy, cub reporter by night."
The voice on the other end was a sexy sounding female. She told
me she was the editor of some paper, .-I tpects. I cleared my throat,
She said, "I have a case for you." I vas interested. I could tell

shape, color."
W.T.'s
Despite being one of the more estab ished bars in Albany,
Washington Tavern (WT's) is a relative newcomer to the wing
wars, adding them to their menu earlier his year. The first few
samplings indicated the bar should've stuck with pizza. The wings
tended to be small, and the sauce never «jas quite as hot as a fire
breathing wing enthusiast would want it tb be.
Future visits yielded some better effortl from the kitchen, but
they never approached the standard fare! from Skipper's. When
you go to those places, you go for the wings. At WT's, ordering
wings can be an adventure.
In a single order of ten wings ($2.50), thdre will inevitably be one
chicken part that almost resembles a whole|wing. It's about 90 percent skin and 10 percent bones, and it could ruin your appetite if
you choose to eat it first.
The sauce doesn't vary that much from hot to mild; the end
result either smacks of vinegar or barbecue sauce, and the cooks
have very little concept of the torturous depths one's tongue can
sink to. If you like them "nuclear" or "death," save yourself some
disappointment.
The bleu cheese is honest bleu cheese, not the garlic mix you get
at some other places. And a double order of wings comes with two
helpings of the white stuff, great for dipping the fresh sticks of
celery and carrots provided.
Getting wings at WT's was always a secondary thing; there were
always other priorities to take care of. But after the most recent
sampling of the wings, things might be changing.
Something was different right from the start. The wings were
uniformly large, and had a healthy red glow rather than a tired
brown look. The sauce was not as hot as desired, but it was satisfying nonetheless. Fluke or not, it was a welcome switch from the
tired, wrinkled wings that have come from WT's kitchen for the
past several months.

Skippers Tavern
Just the sound of the word bothered me. Death. I'd asked the
waitress at Skippers to give me the hottest wings they made.
"You want the death wings. Are you sure?"
1 swallowed once and said, "Yes."
Were they that hot? I'm writing this, aren't 1? They weren't bad,
just not hot. When the waitress asked if they were hot enough, I
honestly replied, "No." She then explained away the situation telling me about the "new chef." As that hero of our times, Maxwell
Smart, would say, "Ah, yes - the old new chef routine." Excuses,
excuses.
For your money ($4.75 for a double, $2.50 for a single) you do
receive plenty of carrots and celery, as well as thick, tasty bleu
cheese. But who cares? The wings weren't hot. Period. The mild
wings my roommate, Marty, ordered were all barbecue sauce
which may suit some tastesT but not mine. Mild should mean semihot while death should mean death. Also, the chickens from which
my wings derived must have been Purdue rejects. The wings were
tiny, with little meat on them.
Perhaps the chef will learn truth in advertising. In the meantime,
the wings are acceptable. They have a great large screen TV, and
pitcher specials during.the week.
Skippers used to have the best wings, but those days are gone
now. Skippers hasn't changed in any oiher noticable ways, but
wings, hot deadly wings, were why I went out of my way to go
there. I'll still stumble there on occasion, but it won't be the same
until death wings kill again.

I asked her where I could find him.
"Several possibilities. Word has it he usually hangs out at
Hurley's, Harpo's, or Sutter's Mill and Mining company. Investigate him and call me with the pertinent information . . . please," she said, with that seductive air in her voice.
I hung up. My first move was Sutter's. I arrived at about 7:00.
Not bad for a Sunday night, I thought. Half filled. Pleasant atmosphere. At least this Wing guy had taste. I made my way to the
counter. The woman working gave me a sharp, cool stare. I said,
"Wing. Where can I find him?" She replied, "You came to the
right place fella. How many?" Puzzled, I answered, "I want it
all." She said, "Sit tight. He'll be right out." I was amazed at the
service. I had been prepared for a hassle. But instead I was going to
meet the big guy right away. I ordered a Mich Light and sat down.
The wood tables and jukebox music created the ideal atmosphere
for my confrontation with Wfng.
She called my name and nodded. There he was in all his glory.
He was larger than I expected. His suit a savvy, reddish color. He
had those vegetables with him. He sat down at my table. I started
out by asking him what he was made of. He answered with a
mouthful of meat. The lights, bright when I had entered, began to
dim. The mood changed. It was becoming difficult to maintain
mny composure. He was a hot one all right. But I chewed away at
him. Oh, he was good. Too good, maybe. I got right down to the
bone of the wing. He was helpless in my hands. He was quickly
fading. I knew I had him. At the end he lay there, a mere scrap of a
wing.
I got up and went over to the phone, slipped a quarter in and
dialed. She answered. I said, "Sweetheart, I found htm."
"What's he like?" she asked.
I said the only thing I could say, "Slitters is the place to find
Wing. But if you want to know what he's really like, you'd best go
there yourself. You won't be disappointed. Oh, and tell him M.F.
sent you."
I walked out the door into the crisp, breezy night, my appetite
for action satisfied. Another case closed for M.F., cub reporter.

Harpo's
The
L a m p Post
The Lampost on a quiet Sunday evening. Rambo leaps from an outcropping onto
the giant screen, "eating food that would make a Billy Goat puke." Talk about hot
wings!
Commercial time. Heads turn, the inanimate, lazy faces of homo suburbus. Interests peak. They're comfortable enough to shrug off Sylvester Stallone, but not
enough to shrug off Jheri Redding, Lee Iococca or the Pepsi Generation. Real people,
real people, wherefore art thou?
Single order hot, extra blue cheese. I've no pride when it comes to cholesterol. Or
hot foods. I was challenging the chef at Hurley's when everyone else thought life stopped this side of Central Ave. When Hurley's had the greatest wings this town will ever
see. When there was still a distant hope I would graduate in four years. A seared and
seasoned palate, an elite veteran (no, I wasn't about to start shooting up the place),
always a step beyond the trends, it was tough to digest the thought of returning, or
condescending to, of all places, still undergraduated, to the black hole of the student
ghetto. The wings were hardly better.
There are four criteria for evaluating wings — in order of importance — taste, size,
heat and bleu cheese. To be fair, Post wings were strong in two and three, but came up
short in the uh-like-totally important number one, and turned in their worst performance in number four.
The wings arrived steaming hot (thermally speaking), with an ample disposal bowl
for those ersatz wingers who don't go for the bones, and a Wet-Nap device. Personally, I've always found one of the greatest pleasures of winging to be waking up the
morning after with the quite pungent remains of hot sauce enscconced in my
moustache and fingernails, its ambiance with me throughout the fe'lowing two or
three days. That's what you get for being on the wrong side of Central Ave.
A quick dip of the left index finger into the bleu cheese (I'm a purist — no veggies)
and I was more than a tad chagrined by its soupy consistency and wimpy flavor.
When it came to size, however, these flappers were as macho as they come — a
bounty of hefty fowl. But its the eyes that lies and the tongue that tells — a nearperfect level of spicy-hotness could not mask the telltale sign of banal wings — the
barbeque motif, dead giveaway for second-class wings. A great wing sauce fuses from
diverse elements a perfectly balanced totality that transcends its ingredients, hinting of
them all without reeking of any one. Post wings were barbeque all the way.
I bad farewell to Rambo, the Wet-Nap crowd, and nice-try wings. Since I was on
this side of town, I stopped in at Frank's Living Room for a real beer among real people. No Wet-Naps, thank you.
•David L.L. Laskin
Harpo's Pub is located on New Scotland Avenue, near Madison
Avenue. Harpo's is a dimly-lit Pub with unfinished furniture. The
atmosphere is rather rustic, perhaps one could even call it "rugged." I felt as though this was the type of place one goes to get hammered with a few friends and not for socializing. My friend Dave
said, "It's the type of place I'd go to for atmosphere; it's rugged
and relaxed. Besides, normal and/or average college kids hang out
here."
Harpo's boasts that its chicken wings are "Buffalo-style." Jennifer Manner thought that, even though she's never been to Buffalo, Harpo's wings are what that city had in mind. Being a native
of Rochester, I assure you they are at least very close.
The sauce on the wings my friends ate was tangy enough, but not
thick like a barbecue sauce. Of course, that was fine with us,
because that way they weren't as messy as they might otherwise
have been. Harpo's chicken wing sauce gets an A-. As Dave put it,
"They burn going in and they burn coming out — that way you get
to enjoy them twice.'.
Someone thought some of the chickens must have been starved.
As we evaluated the portions of wings at Harpo's, we discovered
that while there were some shaply legs, there were also a number of
scrawny ones. "I wish I had legs like that," said Marie. The portions were very mediocre.
If you want to relax and enjoy many fine wings and much beer,
Harpo's is a good place to go. On a scale of one to ten, my friends
and I feel that Harpo's wings are a solid 7. We also gave their
"Drink and Wing" specials a perfect 10.

Aspects
Hurley's
My roommate woke up in a cold sweat. A primal utterance
escaped his lips. Then, a quick dash to the bathroom. Relieved of
what he described as a "blue jet of noxious, gaseous flame," he
slithered into bed, leaving the unpleasant bodily contortions
behind, so to speak. And as 1 lay in bed, my roommate's painfully
pinioned face indicated one very important thing to me — any
chicken wings that can make you feel that bad in the morning can't
have been anything but great the night before.
How often have we awoken only to have no memory of the
previous evening's feast? Ask your roommates what they had for
dinner last night. They can't remember, can they? Well, not only
can my roommate tell me what he ate last night, but I can usually
make a pretty good guess just from being near him. With Hurley's
wings, the whole dorm has a pretty good idea as well.
The previous evening, I ventured to Hurley's with three hall
mates. We received prompt service from a most kind and attractive
waitress* Shcrrie. We ordered the obligatory pitcher of Bud and
wings by the ten. For Stephen, my expressive roommate, the nod
went to mild. For Samuel J.M. Murray, (Sam the Man), hot was
preferred. For Susan, cither a vegetarian or a weakling, french fries
were the order. This reporter opted for three-alarm wings.
1 spread some Noxema on my virgin tongue and began consuming. The first impulse shot into my brain like the kiss at the end of a
wet fist. These were hot stuff. I quickly evacuated all taste buds incapable of the hot sizzle. Then it occured to me that these plump
little things actually had more than temperature to them, and that,
in fact, I enjoyed them. I was happy. My sinuses were ecstatic.
Aspects
Samuel was having a slightly more intense time of it. Actually,
this was not a good evening for him to be partaking in the flaming
foul, for a deep and villainous sore of unknown origin had festered
within his fleshy cheek, causing mass hysteria among his more sensitive nerve cells. However, like a trooper, Sam is a tender man
eating a tough chicken. He maintained his native-born British wit,
and even uttered the humorous, although unoriginal comment,
"Think of all the wheel chairs they have to manufacture for those
poor chickens."
Sherrie, the waitress, was more than helpful, first, as the bearer
of wings and then as the purveyor of key World Almanac-type
chicken wing information. For example, Hurley's (and probably
other wing establishments) maintains their wings by the case. On
any given evening, they will prepare and sell five cases of wings of
alternating temperatures and flavors. There are 500 wings to a case.
That's a lot of wings, man.
We each ordered a second serving, except Susan, of course. I
asked Sherrie if there was anything hotter than three-alarm, as I
love spicy food. My, what a fool I was. She delivered, 1 suppose,
"ultra three-alarmers." If 1 remember correctly, they were tasty.
You see, my tongue went on strike. 1 couldn't really taste the
wings. However, since the previous order was so very tasty indeed,
one may assume that the ultra-threes were good as well.
As Sam toasted at the beginning of the evening, "To the
establishment of what a chicken wing really is." Well, I believe that
1 now have scratched a little below the surface in my quest for the
meaning of wings.
• 1 truly recommend Hurley's. The service is prime, the wings
plump and tasty. Everybody 1 was with agreed with me. I can still
cat baby food for a snack.
By the way, don't ever go with your roommate.
-Dave Wertheim
A c r o s s t h e Street Pub
I received a call on Thursday. My mission, should 1 choose to accept it, was to get the real scoop on the infamous wings at the hot
spot known as Across the Street Pub. I decided 1 was equal to the
task. So I got together a small but efficient staff, quickly briefed
them on the assignment, and we were on our way.
Across the Street Pub is located at 1238 Western Avenue, and
like the name says, is directly across the street from the uptown
campus. This is a big plus since it eliminates the need to drive. We
made our visit on a Monday eveniiig at about 11 pm. There were
many free tables, something you will definitely not find on a
weekend or a night when a good game is on TV. In general,
though, the place is never so crowded that you are fighting the person next to you for a spot to stand. It is not a stand up, "mingling"
type of bar. It is meant to be a place to sit and talk with a group of
friends and get something to cat and drink.
The atmosphere was described by my group as "homey." The
walls are done in orange and brown earth tones and arc decorated
with simple pictures. It is dimly lit by colorful lamps. The oldfashioned fans on the ceiling add a nice touch. The music is basic
rock and roll and is kept at a volume so you don't have to scream
to be heard. Basically a clear, comfortable setting.
The waitress came over immediately. She was polite and friendly, as I've found most of the help there is. We ordered a pitcher of
beer and one order of hot and one order of mild wings.
Our food was served in about 12 minutes, but it can sometimes
take as long as 20 minutes on a crowded night. An order of wings
costs $2.75 and comes with 10 wings, four pieces of celery and a
small container of bleu cheese dressing. We thought this seemed
pretty fair, except maybe they could have been more generous with
the bleu cheese. We agreed the size and consistency of the wings
were good. They were all fairly nudity and not too dry. The hot
wings were, in our opinion, easily the better of the two. The sauce
was not too thick and was spicy enough to give them a strong
flavor but did not leave your mouth burning. The mild went
beyond mild. They were wimpy. There was no sauce at all on them.
What they were soaking in was grease. One member of my group
said they even left an aftertaste of grease in her mouth. A person at
the next table who said he always ordered the mild told me the trick
was to dump the wings in the bowl meant for the bones so they
could drain. That secmes to work pretty well, but I'm not sure it
would improve them enough to get me to order them.
All in all, Across the Street Pub is a nice cozy place to just hang
out with friends and have a few drinks and get some food. No one
in my group said they would make a trip there specifically for the
wings, but three of the four of us said we'd probably order them if
we were there. People at other tables had different opinions. One
guy said he thought the sauce was the best around, and he came all
the time for the wings. Another said the proximity to campus was a
bonus but complained the beer was too expensive. On our way out,
a member of my group summed up his thoughts, "They're better
than most I've had, but of course, I'm always drunk when i eat
them . . . "

Sutter's
It was a late September afternoon. YDU know the type where the
leaves are just turning and the sun warms you just enough to sweat.
The moodjn my apartment was tentative. It had been a day of studying, and I'd just about had it. Su Idenly, the phone rang. I
answered, "M.F. here. Student by da^, cub reporter by night."
The voice on the other end was a sexy sounding female. She told
me she was the editor of some paper, A [peers. I cleared my throat.
She said, "I have a case for you." I vas interested. I could tell
already. This was no ordinary lady. 1said, "Okay, give me the
details.

W.T.'s
Despite being one of the more estab ished bars in Albany,
Washington Tavern (WT's) is a relative newcomer to the wing
wars, adding them to their menu earlier this year. The first few
samplings indicated the bar should've stuck with pizza. The wings
tended to be small, and the sauce never was quite as hot as a fire
breathing wing enthusiast would want it to be.
Future visits yielded some better effortk from the kitchen, but
they never approached the standard fare! from Skipper's. When
you go to those places, you go for the wifigs. At WT's, ordering
wings can be an adventure.
In a single order of ten wings ($2.50), thdre will inevitably be one
chicken part that almost resembles a wholejwing. It's about 90 percent skin and 10 percent bones, and it could ruin your appetite if
you choose to eat it first.
The sauce doesn't vary that much from hot to mild; the end
result either smacks of vinegar or barbecue sauce, and the cooks
have very little concept of the torturous depths one's tongue can
sink to. If you like them "nuclear" or "death," save yourself some
disappointment.
The bleu cheese is honest bleu cheese, not the garlic mix you get
at some other places. And a double order of wings comes with twp
helpings of the white stuff, great for dipping the fresh sticks of
celery and carrots provided.
Getting wings at WT's was always a secondary thing; there were
always other priorities to take care of. Bui after the most recent
sampling of the wings, things might be changing.
Something was different right from the start. The wings were
uniformly large, and had a healthy red glow rather than a tired
brown look. The sauce was not as hot as desired, but it was satisfying nonetheless. Fluke or not, it was a welcome switch from the
tired, wrinkled wings that have come from WT's kitchen for the
past several months.
-Dean Chang
Skippers Tavern
Just the sound of the word bothered me. Death. I'd asked the
waitress at Skippers to give me the hottest wings they made.
"You want the death wings. Are you sure?"
1 swallowed once and said, "Yes."
Were they that hot? I'm writing this, aren't 1? They weren't bad,
just not hot. When the waitress asked if they were hot enough i
honestly replied, "No." She then explained away the situation telling me about the "new chef." As that hero of our times, Maxwell
Smart, would say, "Ah, yes - the old new chef routine." Excuses
excuses.
For your money ($4.75 for a double, $2.50 for a single) you do
receive plenty of carrots and celery, as well as thick, tasty bleu
Cheese, But who cares? The wings weren't hot. Period. The mild
wings my roommate, Marty, ordered were all barbecue sauce
which may suit some tastes, but not mine. Mild should mean semihot while death should mean death. Also, the chickens from which
my wings derived must have been Purdue rejects. The wings were
tiny, with little meat on them.
Perhaps the chef will learn truth in advertising. In the meantime,
the wings are acceptable. They have a kreat large screen TV, and
pitcher specials during,the week.
Skippers used to have the best wings, but those days are gone
now. Skippers hasn't changed in any oilier noticable ways, but
wings, hot deadly wings, were why I went out of my way to go
there. I'll still stumble there on occasion, bul it won't be the same
until death wings kill again.

omer wrote 77ie Illiad near the top of
Mount Olympus, close to the eternal
snows, the muses, the gods. Stephen
Grave adapted the pilot episode of the
Universal Television series Miami Vice,
created by Anthony Yerdovich, into a
novel, Trie Florida Burn.
Mike
Dermansky
The Illiad is an epic poem, displaying
two armies battling over honor — soldiers
covered with bronze armor.using chariots,
spears, shields, and mischievous gods interacting in human affairs. Vice, moral
depravity, or corruption, is the war of the
20th century. Every Friday night our
heroes make connections, enter the underworld, and beat drug dealers and pimps at
their own game.
Does Stephen Grave's product rival
Homer? It doesn't seem a fair question.
Maybe, "Is The Florida Burn worth
readingT' is more appropriate. I enjoyed
reading it. After viewing the premiere
episode of Miami Vice twice, it was fun
scanning through the familiar lines, and anticipating what the hero would say. Sure
enough, it was there verbatum.
If you have not seen the show, you may
miss the humor. Grave attempts to tell the
thoughts behind the characters' faces. On
TV we observe their faces presented up

Crockett replies, "It's called vengeance, my
friend, plain and simple. Now, I may seem
somewhat unorthodox to the untrained
eye, but when it comes to police work, I'm

In terms of violence, The Illiad certainly
is not dated. Miami Vice's Tubbs often appears as Crocket's human side, getting him
to reveal what he is thinking about. It
would be interesting to see what would
happen if Tubbs were killed. This couldn't
happen. The series would end. This hurts
the show. When you know the warriors
can't die, the suspense is dulled.
An interesting aspect of street war is explored when Tubbs apprehends Calderone:
"Come on you $400-a-week cop. It's
getting late. You can arrest me now."
"You're dead," said Tubbs.
Calderone looked annoyed, as if by a trifle. 'Whatsa matter with you? You win,
man. Guess I'll just hafta take my chances
in the courts.'"
It appears the criminal is protected by
the law, which Tubbs is enforcing. In The
Illiad fighters fight for glory, representing a
strong family lineage. Tubbs frightens
Calderone but is ultimately held to his
pledge to law, which also binds him to his
commrades, who are also on law's side.
Some would argue law is what makes
modern man civilized. Some may argue
otherwise.
Miami Vice, like The Illiad is reflective
of its time. It is meant to watched on a
screen and not browsed through. And, in
conclusion, if you haven't read The Illiad
yet, you'd better do so before a mini-series
is cast.

Montague's poignant poetry
J
ohn Montague, the first writer-inresidence brought to the SUNY
system by the New York State
Writers Institute, gave a reading from his
work on Thursday, September 26, at the
New York State Museum's Cultural Education Center.
Brenda
Schaeffer
Montague is one of the major poets
writing in English. He was born in New
York, but he grew up in Ulster, Ireland and
was educated at St. Paul's College and at
University College in Dublin.
Montague's writing has been described
as personal expression which captures the
political realities of Ulster. His reading
from such works as The Dead Kingdon and
The Great Cloak reveals the truth of this
description. In one poem, Montague
describes Protestants and Catholics as
"grimly holding on." He ends this poem
with, "Two crazed peoples — make an
end." In a poem entitled "She Cries," he
tells of a poet at his desk, "still tryirjg to
crack , without faltering, the sound barrier
of a dying world." The universal dilemnas
of life In Ireland are united with a warm
human insight in his poetry, effectively
communicating a common understanding
to his audience,
Montague has written much on the subject of love, and admits to his audience, "1
have been occupied a great deal with love
— I think it comes from the Old Irish."
"In love poems," he says, "one hopes for
a tenderness and an exchange."
The general reaction to Montague's
reading was extremely positive. The au-
dience was quite moved by the messages
received from his poetry. However, his occassional stuttering during his delivery
detracted from the quality of his work.
One member of the audience suggested
that the reading may have been more effective if it had taken place in a smaller
auditorium and without a microphone.
Despite these criticisms, Montague's
reading, on the whole, was a success. Montague will be lecturing in an English class
(Eng 515: Workshop in Poetry) here on
campus for the next two weeks. The
Writer's Institute is to be commended for
bringing major writer's like John Montague
to Albany, The presence of such writers
will enrich both the educational experiences of SUNYA students and the entire community.

A variety of fundraising ideas are in the
works by members of Fuerza Latina in
hopes of raising at least 5,000 dollars to
aid victims of the recent earthquake in
Mexico.
The September 19th earthquake,
measuring 8.1 on the Richter Scale,
devastated Mexico City, killing more than
7,000 people and leaving countless others
homeless.
According to Niurka Pion, President of
Fuerza Latina, "The situation concerns
all, not just Hispanics. We need everyone's
help." Many members of the group are
from Mexico, she said.
To raise their immediate goal of $5,000,
Fuerza Latina has several projects planned
in the coming months
On Community-University Day, held
this past Saturday, the group set up a table
in the lecture centers to raise money- 25
percent of which will be donated to the
fund.
Fuerza Latina members will be going
door to door on a fundraising campaign
sometime this semester and will have a
table in the Campus Center to sell T-shirts
and to solicit donations.
Plans are also being made for a dance to
which all members of the campus community will be invited to show their support. 100 percent of the money raised from
these activities will go to the Mexico fund.
Fuerza Latina will be working through
the Red Cross to send the funds to Mexico.
Pion said she would like the money "to go
to a special neighborhood, so the money
can be used Immediately for food, fresh
water arid shelter."
Alfredo Rodriguez, Public Affairs
Coordinator for Fuerza Latina said he sees
Mexico as "a neighboring country whose
needs we cannot ignore." He added that
he would like everyone to be generous and
Close to 1 SO women and about
10 men gathered in front of the
Capitol Building downtown Friday evening to demonstrate that
trie almost total control rapists
and attackers have over women at
night is not an insurmountable
problem.
The gathering was part of the
annual "Take Back the Night"
march and rally.
Before the march, rape crisis
counselors read a sobering set of
statistics to the crowd. Said the
events' organizer, Debra
Schramek, director of the Albany
Rape Crisis Center, calls to her
office were up almost 40 percent
in the last year.
"A-woman is raped here once
every nine minutes," Nadine
Willard, Director of the
Rensselaer County Rape Crisis
Center, told the crowd. "One
rape in ten is reported so that
number may be higher," she
added.
"I'd like to say that the
statistics have decreased, but they
haven't," Willard said, adding,
"Our caseload has increased by
40 percent in 1985..The crime of
i rape has no boundaries — age,

$6,000 has been rasised by the Red Cross

"One of every three girls and
one of every eight boys is sexually
abused," . Willard said, adding
that most of this sex abuse occurs
in the child's home. 57 percent of
the caseload at the Rensselaer
Center are victims under 18 and
25 percent of teh cases are under
10 years of age, she said.
"The speakers at the march
were very informative and the
statistics were quite shocking,"
said Kimberley Hardt, a senior at
SUNYA. "Women's safety is an
issue and this reminds us all that
the streets aren't altogether safe,"
she said.
"I once was being followed
down State Street by Washington
Park while walking alone at
night," Hardt said. "I was
scared, but then I saw a SUNY
bus at Draper," she said, adding,
"I was never so happy to see a
bus."
"Take Back the Night is a rally
that is held to increase public
awareness about the crime of

Overturned student voting rights decision appealed
By Bill Jacob
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
A landmark decision, won by student
advocates last November to allow
(Students to vote in their college towns
, has lost it's statewide impact as a result
of a successful appeal won in June.
The case, filed by the New York State
Attorney General's office, was an appeal of the 1984 McCurn decision which
gave students the right to register to vote
in the county in which they attend
college.
The victorious state appeal made McCurn's prior decision applicable to
Albany and Ulster(New Paltz) counties,
New York Public Interest Research
Group Executive director Tom Wathen
said. "Because the state law was ruled
constitutional, every county has the
ability to stop students from registering
(at college)," he said.
NYPIRG is appealing the Attorney
General's appeal in an effort to have the
statute, which hinders student registration on campuses, declared unconstitutional, Wathen said.
The dispute began when SUNYA student Amy Auerbach's application for
voter registraton was denied in 1980,
Wathen said. State law, at the time, left
the decision of whether students could
register to vote in their college communities up to local Board of Elections.
After obtaining a preliminary injunction for students to register to vote at
college, the injunction was upheld in a
1984 decision by United States District
Court Judge Neal McCurn.
Auerbach's case was combined with a
similar case of a SUNY New Paltz student, for which McCurn also ruled in
favor of the student, and decided the
state law was unconstitutional.
" t h e New York State Attorney
General's office appealed the ruling to
defend the state law and won," Wathen
said. "The court ruled (in June 1985)
that students are a part of a transitory
population and that makes them ineligible to vote" in their college communities, he said.
However, according to Nathan Riley,
a press official from the Attorney
Generals office, the current law does
allow students to register to vote in the
communities in which they attend
school, subject to the approval of the
local Boards of Election.
"The state doesn't believe that
students should be required to register in
