Friday's drizzling rain and cold
temperatures failed to deter 500
protestors who were rallying
against SUNYA's new policy banning kegs and beerballs.
The demonstration, held in

"It was a smashing success,"
said SA President Steve Gawley.
"The student turnout was great.
If the weather was better we
might have had 2,000".
"This year the students have
created the two largest protests in
SUNY Albany's history," said
Gawley, referring to Friday's
rally and one held earlier this
semester. "Student involvement
is like a force, once it's rolling,
you ride it as long and as far as
possible . Right now the student
movement is flowering," he said.
The rally began with Gawley
urging students to call University
President Vincent O'Leary and
Vice President for Student Affairs Frank Pogue to voice their
disapproval of the alcohol policy.
SA also printed an extra edition
of The Student Voice to advertise
the rally and inform students on
the issue, according to Gawley.

Jeff Stettin, a Resident Assistant on Dutch Quad, spoke on the
drawbacks of the decision from
the point of view of an RA.
"It shouldn't be up to me to
deprive the people in my section
of their privacy rights. I shouldn't
have to play policeman," he said.
According to Gawley, there are
many negative aspects of the new
policy such as the change in the
role of RA's and the refusal of the
administration to follow the
recommendation of the "Impact
of 21" not to ban beerballs and
kegs. The recommendation passed by a vote of 8-2.

"If you ask me, I would say somewhere

Patrick said, but he was reluctant to say it
would be easy for fraternities to find an
off—campus location.
"This is a city that's celebrating its
tricentennial next year," said Patrick, explaining that it is even difficult to open a
doctor's office in Albany.
"It's hard to get something new started
in this city," Patrick said. He also said he
does not want to dissuade students,
however, and commented "it won't do any

Pollack said some of the fraternities and
sororities are "looking to rent in the fall of
1986 [and we] are hoping to buy the
residences within two years time."

added.
According to Pollack, TKE, with 62
members, is the only fraternity that was
officially granted housing on campus, with
males and females sharing a hall on Colonial Quad.
Pollack said fraternities may also consider a "fraternity area" on campus, if
possible.
"We're looking into setting up housing
for fraternities on one of the Quads,"
Pollack said, adding that this plan had no
certainty to it,
When asked what the difference might
be between regular off—campus students
and students living in a fraternity house,
Patrick said that among other things,
"The front lawn would turn Into a parking
lot."
"There was a fraternity in Syracuse that
boasted it had as many cars as brothers,"
he said.
Patrick also said that Syracuse University could better accomodate fraternity
housing because its campus is more spread
out. "SUNY Albany, on the other hand, is
its own island."

Death toll hits 36
Johannesburg, South Africa
(AP) A 3-year-old black girl whose mother
was suspected of being a police informer
and two other blacks were killed as the
death toll in a week of anti-apartheid
violence rose to 36, police said Sunday.
Police reported flare-ups in 10
communities.
The eight days from Sunday, November
17, marked one of the bloodiest periods in
15 months of anti-apartheid rioting.
The Sunday Times newspaper, referring
to new government regulations barring
radio and television reporting of violence
in certain areas, warned the white-minority
government that "revolution thrives in
darkness."
Hijacking kills 60
Valctta, Malta
(AP) Egypt said today it ordered commandos to storm the hijacked Egyptian jet to
prevent a massacre and said fire raced
through the cabin and killed trapped
passengers when the terrorists threw
phosphorus grenades. A Maltese official
said the total death of the hijacking was
60.
One woman, identified as an American,
was killed during the Egyptian attack Sunday night on the airliner parked at Malta's
airport.
Maltese government spokesman Paul
Mifsud said the dead included nine Palestinian children and four of five hijackers.
He said one hijacker survived the assault
by Egyptian commandos and was in
serious condition at St. Luke's Hospital in
Valletta.
Also dead was the American woman
shot by the hijackers after the plane landed
in Malta Saturday night and thrown from
the aircraft. She was identified today by

Police said at least 65 people have been

FBI apprehends spy
Washington, D.C.
(AP) The FBI today arrested a former National Security Agency (NSA) communications specialist on charges of conspiring to
sell secrets to the Soviet Union,
culminating an investigation that sources
said was. triggered by turnabout Soviet
defector Vitaly Yurchenko.
Ronald William Pelton, 44, a boat
salesman, was arrested about 12:10 a.m.
today at an Annapolis, Md., hotel, an FBI
spokesman said. He became the fourth
person arrested on espionage-related
charges in the last five days.
The FBI said Pelton had worked from
1965 to 1979 for the super-secret spy agency, which is responsible for breaking
foreign codes in government, military and
private broadcast transmissions it
monitors around the world.
One federal source said that Pelton was
paid by the Soviets for his information and
that he began providing it to them before
he was fired from the NSA over unrelated
matters.
Tax reform examined
Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Reagan administration is analyzing a far-reaching tax bill produced by the
House Ways and Means Committee, trying to determine if the president can provide the endorsement congressional leaders
say is necessary to keep the tax-overhaul
drive alive.
For the moment, says White House
Chief of Staff Donald T. Regan, "I'm not
sure we can accept it," noting the committee made major changes in the bill at the
last minute before approving it Saturday
morning.
"What does it do to investment, savings
and incentives?" Regan asked Sunday on
"Face the Nation" on CBS-TV. "We
haven't had time to really examine that."
In announcing final approval, Rep. Dan
Rostenkowski, D-Ill., the committee chairman, pleaded with Reagan not to make a
harsh, snap judgment that could kill the
bill.

County denied suit
Albany
(AP)The state doesn't owe local governments a cent for holding convicted felons
in their jails until state prison cells become
available, State Court of Claims Judge
Harold Koreman has ruled.
Koreman's decision, which was publicly
released Monday, dismissed a tnultimillion dollar lawsuit filed against the state
by Monroe County. The ruling also affects
five other claims totaling $1,683,199
brought against the state by the counties of
Monroe, Ontario, Onondoga and
Westchester, said Nathan Riley, , a
spokesperson for state Attorney General
Robert Abrams.
Upon sentencing of convicted felons,
state law requires the county sheriff to
deliver them to the state Department of
Correctional Services. Because state
prisons didn't immediately accept the
sentenced felons, the state should pay the
county's cost of jailing them, local officials argued.

The party is not over yet, but judging
from the way SUNYA students celebrated
this past weekend, one would assume the
end was near.
Because the 21 year-old drinking age
takes effect December 1, many students
had their last chance to visit local bars and
attend parties on campus over the
weekend.
Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity
held a "Goodbye to U" party, the last Ulounge party to be held on campus before
December 1. "The party was undoubtedly
a success," said TKE Vice President Paul
Wagner. "A lot of people showed up early
but left later to go downtown for one last
chance to hit the bars."
Sigma Alpha Mu (SAM) threw a party
at Bicycle Annies, which, according to
SAM President Charlie Green, was "very
successful, as 300 attended."
"We felt we had to have a party before
the drinking age went up," said Green.
"Because advertising for the party was so
extensive, I don't think there were too
many people who didn't know about it,"
he said.
"We really went all out, more so than
most people would have for a party this
scale," Green said.
Despite the success of this weekend's
parties, State Quad Board cancelled their
"Rock Around the Quad Party" which
had been originally scheduled to take place
on Friday, November 22.
"It was in competition with too many
other things going on around campus,"

Across the Street Pub did their "usual
stable business," said Manager Mike Arduini. "A lot of students headed for the
downtown bars because it was their last
opportunity to barhop."
The Long Branch was "busier than
usual" on Saturday night, according to
owner Ron Howard. "People tended to
want to say goodbye and they had a much
more relaxed attitude toward each other,"
he said. "It was similar to what happens
before a holiday or a long vacation. It
tended to be a lot of fun," he said.
Students brave cold to wait on line outside Long Branch this weekend.
People came out later and stayed longer
than usual, said Washington Tavern
bartender Allan Catlan, who worked at the
bar Saturday night. "People seemed down
about the changes that were about to take
place, but they managed to have a good
time," he said.
WCDB-91 FM's transmitting power
was seriously curtailed this past month
because of a transistor failure, but
repairs were made the day before the
"Top 91 Countdown," their first
listeners' survey, was aired.
The station's broadcasting power was
reduced from 100 to 15 watts on
November 4 when an output part of the
transistor, part of the transmitter, burned out. This severely limited the station's output capability, said WCDB
General Manager Jon Cosin.
The station's broadcasting range was
limited during the time in which the
transmitter was being repaired, Cosin
said. "It cut us down to just the city of
Albany on a good day," he said.
Cosin said the problem started last
winter when a radome, a fiberglass ball
which protects the antenna, broke during a snowstorm. "Too much power
was being reflected back into the
transmitter" and that blew the transmitter, Cosin said.
According to Cosin, the repair of the
transmitter took 16 days because of the
difficulty in locating new parts and the
time involved to actually have the
transmitter repaired.
"There was only one place we could
find [the part] in the nation," Cosin
said. The one person who was capable
of fixing the transmitter also had the flu
at the time, he added.
WCDB considered postponing the
"Top 91 Countdown" but in the end
did not have to make a decision. "It was
brought up briefly and we said 'let's
wait and see,"' Cosin said.
WCDB received a few complaints
from listeners concerned about the station's reception, Cosin said. "They
couldn't receive us or we were coming in
fuzzy" in many areas, he said.
The transmitter is located on top of
Eastman Tower on State Quad and was
purchased in 1978 for approximately
$5,000, Cosin said.
WCDB does not anticipate any further problems with the transmitter,
Cosin said, and has not considered
puchasing a newer one. A decline in the
number of station listeners is also not
expected, he said.
The only way to ensure that an incident such as this does not occur in the
future is "to move Albany to a warmer
climate," Cosin said, adding that he
hopes this winter will not be too severe.
SUNY board approves differential dorm rates plan
By Alicia Cimbora
NEWS EDITOR
Last Tuesday's 8-to-l vote by the SUNY
Board of Trustees approving differential
room rates among SUNY campuses has
met with vehement opposition from student leaders.
Differences in dorm rates between campuses could be as much as $250 which, ac-l
cording to Student Association of the State
University President Jane McAlevey in a
Times Union article, could force students
to choose a school based on room rates
rather than academic standards.
McAlevey was the only member of the
board to vote against the proposal,
The plan, in its first year, places a six
percent cap on variations from the
estimated $1650 per year room rate, and a
future cap of 15 percent. The plan does
not, however, limit room rate variations
within campuses.
At last months Trustees meeting, the
board approved a $1.18 billion budget
under which room rates would Increase an
average of six percent as a first step
"Differences in dorm rates...could force
students to choose a school based on room

towards self-sufficient dorms, but did not
make a decision concerning differential
room rates until Tuesday, according to
theTYines Union
In approving self-sufficient dorms,
SUNY will lose its $6.6 million state subsidy for residence halls.
The self-sufficiency plan allows individual campuses to set their own room
rates within the guidelines set by the
board.
According to Steve Slroky, SASU's Executive Vice-President, "Differential room
rates will severely limit access to lower income students. It will close lower income
students out of better housing."
SASU is "very disappointed" at the
boards decision, he said.
"The state thinks self-sufficiency will
help students. We think self-sufficiency
will hurt students," said Siroky. "We're
taking it to the legislature—we intend to
fight it," he said.
According to Student Association President Steve Gawley, SUNYA's room rates
will increase about $95. "We stand to face
these increases every year for the next
several years," he said adding that these
increases discoursge people from going to
school.
"If the state gave greater priority to a
committment to higher education, inflationary increases would be allocated for in
the state budget," said Gawley.
SUNYA has $4.9 million to make up
(from state money) because of selfsufficiency, said Gawley asserting, "I'll
encourage Student Action Committee if
necessary, to lobby Higher Education
committees to make necessary changes."
Gawley said he has already met with
Gene Gilchrist, University Building Officer, regarding student participation in
maximizing revenues and decreasing costs
for dorms. "We have to work with the
university to Increase revenue," he said.
Gawley cited water and electricity conservation as areas where the university can
save money in residence halls.

Top execs show the way up ladder of success

Podium peddlers cater to student tastes
By David Spalding
The crowd around the Campus Center
fountain at times looks more like a Macy's
than a University, but students seem to enjoy the marketplace while student groups
look to it as a unique source of income.
All sorts of scarves and every possible
type of earring is available — along with
sweaters, gloves, sweatshirts, watches,
records, tapes, and more. Last week you
could even get a winter coat there.
"People have a lot of money and if you
have the right product you can make a lot
of money," said one podium vendor,
Adam Wasserman.
A little further away Steve Jefferson was
attracting women passers—by to his wares
with the cry: "If you ain't a Gloria
Vanderbilt lady, then I don't know who
is!"
A closer inspection showed that, indeed,
the jeans, sweaters, jackets, gloves, and
thermal underwear he was selling all had
the Vanderbilt swan sewed on.
Jefferson said his merchandise was purchased in New York City's garment
district, and was being sold for the benefit
of the Albany State University Black
Alliance (ASUBA). He said he didn't mind
spending up to four hours a day selling for
ASUBA, but, "After Thanksgiving we'll
hopefully be inside. It gets so cold out here
you can't stand."
As far as his customers, Jefferson said,
the prices are reasonable. "We cater to the
females. Females buy more," he added.
"They don't mess around, if they want
something they get it."
Jesse Ortiz agreed that the prices charged by most vendors were fair. As she rifled
through a rack of tweed overcoats she
said, "I've got to admit these racks attracted my attention, and if I find
something, hey, I'll get it."
Eventually Ortiz found the perfect overcoat, and bought it for $50. Compared to
the prices at department stores, she said
she saved a bundle. And besides, "I needed a winter coat anyway."
The coats were on sale for only two days
last week, with all profits going to Student
Association's Health Advisory Committee, said the group's president, Devin
Okay.
He called the overcoats "the new fad
look" as he explained the coats were priced between $20 and $50.
The coats were bought in New York City, added Okay, who said the group is considering putting the overcoats on sale once
a month.
All vendors have to get permission from
SA and the University to sell on the
podium in the form of a Solicitations Per-

mit, said SA Director of Student Programming Betty Ginzberg, who handles the process for SA.
In addition, said Ginzberg, "There's no
selling for private gains anymore, it's all
for organizations." The changes, she said,
were made at the beginning of this
semester to comply with state laws which
say no state facilities can be used for
private gain.
"1 like to see people selling things on the
podium, it's a nice aspect of the University," said Ginzberg, adding that in the past
she's bought perfume, jewelry, flowers,

Albany Student Press.
Around campuses: Twenty years ago'Fink' clause protested
"Students at Amherst College are
protesting a new set of parietal rules, including a so-called 'rat fink' clause
which makes all residents in each dormitory responsible for reporting violations of the social code," College Press
Service reported on October 5, 1965.
To protest, about 100 students refused to hand in signed honor code cards to
the school registrar.
The students also wanted lo extend
the time by which women were required
to leave men's dorms each night.

donuts, and other "stuff" from podium
vendors.
Talking to women browsing on Thursday, it was clear that just about everyone's
favorite item was earrings because they're
inexpensive and "fun," said one shopper.
"Yeah, she buys earrings all the time,"
said Drew Fung of his girlfriend Paula
Amsterdam.
"Not all the time," she laughingly shot
back.
"Every class she gets out of, if she's
depressed she buys earrings," Fung
replied.
According to Amsterdam, a lot of the
merchandise available on the podium is inexpensive and therefore ideal for college
students. And she added there's a lot more
to buy than earrings.
Not too far away from the display of
earrings, Stacy Bavdavid was selling concert photographs of stars such as Sting,
David Bowie, and Foreigner, to benefit the
Accounting Club. The photos were priced
from $5 to $10 and were taken by Bavdavid's partner's brother-in-law, she said.
Bavdavid said she likes her job. "I feel
like I'm on the outside looking in on the
diversity of Albany State. It's a great way
to meet people, but it's impossible to stand
up here all day. It gets too cold."
Sweaters make nice gifts for the holiday
season, and that was one pitch Cindy Blatter was using Thursday afternoon. She was
raising money for the tennis team, and had
a brand new inventory to tempt shoppers.
"We are selling under cost," said Blatter, explaining that she can afford to do so
because both her and her partner's father
manufacture sweaters.
A lot of guys buy sweaters for women,
Blatter said. "They look seriously, but
• they usually have to be talked into buying
one. I get a lot of questions from guys."
Delores Wood shops at the fountain to
buy items such as socks, scarfs, or records,
she said. "The prices are competitive and
it's convenient, especially if you don't
have a car."
Ed Flatterman said he occasionally
shops at the small fountain to buy presents
for his girlfriend and for himself. "I think
I get a bargain buying these items. The
prices are competitive and I like to purchase from students to help the clubs," he
added.
And Wasserman, with his 'right product' philosophy, sells Albany State sweatshirts with Minnie Mouse on the front for
$14 to raise money for the Delta Omicron
Tau fraternity. "We'll be out here until we
get rid of them, and we better get rid of
them or we are in trouble. We have a big
investment here."
But profits are not guaranteed, and that
has Wasserman a little nervous. Right
now, he said, he'd be happy just to break
even. "I'm getting nervous, it's too slow,"
he said.
" A University of California
sociologist says that sororities, long influential in manipulating the campus
social order, now face extinction," College Press Service reported on October
13, 1965.
Cal-Davis professor John F. Scott
said colleges, anxious to fill the big new
dorms they were building, wouldn't be
"as hospitable to greeks, who draw
students into private housing, as they
used to be."
"But the worst blow to the sorority
system is the increased academic-
pressure on college men, who no longer
have time for the form of courtship that
made sororities so exciting," he
explained.
Computer sensations
The American University in
Washington D.C. caused a sensation
when it decided to use an exotic new
technology — computers — to catch
students who parked illegally around the
campus, College Press Service reported
on October 7, 1965.
Administrators boasted they could
track parking violators by computer,
automatically compose and mail warning letters, and even flag students with
five or more unpaid tickets for
"dismissal from the University."
One professor compared the effort lo
"George Orwell's 1984," but administrators said a few officials from
other colleges already had called to find
out how the strange new effort worked.
Contraceptive conflict
After a heated debate, the National
Student Association — precursor of the
United States Student Association —
resolved to ask Catholic colleges to
"provide birth control information" to
students who ask the campus health
clinic for it. College Press Service
reported on September 13, 1965.
Delegates to the NSA's national convention in Madison, Wisconsin passed
an amendment deleting a requirement
that schools distribute "birth control
devices" as well as information.
" T o delete 'devices' would
emasculate the entire resolution," cried
one outraged delegate. But the amendment passed.
Options to war sought
"An international conference of intellectuals and students seeking alternative solutions to the war in Vietnam is
meeting at the University of Michigan,"
CPS reported on September 13, 1965.
The conference included luminaries
like historian William A. Williams,
physicist Hans Betha, sociologist David
Ricsman, Linus Pauling and James D.
Farmer of the Congress on Racial
Equality.
In subsequent histories of the era,
many observers credited the conference
with providing the then miniscule antiwar movement with intellectual
legitimacy.

Personality and perseverance
may play a more important role
than academics for students who
wish to succeed in the business
field, according to corporate executives speaking at an informal
brunch on Sunday.
Thirteen business executives,
whose children are attending
SUNYA, shared their corporate
expertise with students at the
brunch held in the Patroon
Room.
Close to 200 students attended
the event, which was sponsored
by the University Parents
Association in collaboration with
Pi Sigma Epsilon, the sales and
marketing fraternity.
"These speakers are parents
themselves of SUNYA students
and they're interested in their
children's academic advisement,"
said Sorrell Chesin, Associate
Vice-President of University Affairs and moderator of the event.
"We capitalized on the parents'
volunteered expertise," he said.
During the brunch, informal
discussion took place where each
executive was seated with about
ten students at a table. A formal
discussion followed after brunch
that began with comparisons of
the more prestigious private insituations such as Harvard or
Wharton Business School, with a
public university like Albany.
John Levato, SUNYA's Director of Undergraduate Academic
Services for the School of
Business, said, "Albany is among
the best of any public universities.
We don't have the elan that a
Wharton or Harvard, graduate
has, but the Albany graduate does
get hired.
Why? Because of our stress on
a liberal arts education. Our
graduates have the ability to communicate orally and in writing,"
he said, adding "you also have to
pay your dues. It's a two-way
street. You can't walk in and say
'Here I am'."
Levato said the main difference
between SUNYA graduates and
graduates from prestigious
schools is that "Whartons expect
to be a vice-president as soon as
they get out, whereas students at
SUNYA start from the bottom
and, if they're good, work their
way up. They learn values at a
public university," he added.
Dr. Harvey Kahalas, Dean of
the School of Business, agreed,
saying, "Many firms do regard
Albany as a very important
recruiting source in terms of
public finance."
Morton Z., Schwartz, VicePresident of Congress Financial
Corp., stressed, "It's important
to get a general education,
because 50 percent of business is
dealing with people."
"This is the bottom line — major in that which makes you happy. Just know how to discipline
yourself with a good education,"
Levato said.
All the executives agreed that
pursuing the M.B.A. directly
after the undergraduate degree
would be much easier. "It's difficult to go back to your studies,
once you've already gone out and
maintained a job," said John
Blauner, Vice President of Oruntal & Co. of Woodmere, N.Y.
During the forum, the speakers
explained, what firms look for
when recruiting .
According to Bernard Sosnick,
Managing Director of L.F.
Rothchild, "You may be able to
get a job academically, but if
you're a nerd...Well, you've
definitely got to work harder. I
often see an inverse relationship
between good grades and good
performance."
John Ibelli, senior Vice President of Medicus Interon, said,
"Personality is very important. I
look for your ability to make a
mistake and rebound from that
mistake."
Perseverance is also vital in the
field of business. "You need the
desire to make a commitment and
to persevere," Kamin said.
"Then we'll train you to be worth
$150,000 a year or more," he
said.
The final question was asked by
Anne Marfey, a guest at the
forum, "Do women now have an
equal chance in the business
world?"
All the speakers
reassured students that the
business world is just as much a
women's world now as a man's
"Women have a more than
equal chance now," Molinelli
said. "They've got more charm
and sophistication. They also
tend to concentrate better," he
said.
Bob Warshaw, President of
Warshaw Electric Co., said,
"There's truly no shortcut in finding the area of business that
turns you on. Don't be afraid of
changing your major in business.
Overall, try to get on a good
training program."
"Business is about making
money," Murray said. "If you're
not interested in making money,
don't go into business.
"It's no different from the successful doctor or lawyer. Be willing to work 16 hours a day. But
no matter what, find a balance.
You have to enjoy whatever you
do," Murray said.

Senior, frosh win vacation
in naming new coffee bar
By Leslie Chait
STAFF WHITER
A love of coffee coupled with a little imagination is sending two SUNYA students
on a free trip to Fort Lauderdale during
Spring Break.
The winners in last week's "I Love Coffee Week" contest to name the new coffee
bar are senior Scott Forde and first year
student James Liptak. Each came up with
the winning name "The Ground Floor,"
according to Lester Hynes, University
Auxiliary Services Director of Cash Sales.
Both will receive a free trip to Fort
Lauderdale from March 24 to 27 said
Hynes. The trip includes airfare, hotel accomodations at the Hilton and a rented
car, he said adding that each trip is worth
over $600.
According to Hynes, the winners were
chosen by a selection committee made up
of Student Association Comptroller Eric
Schwartzman, SA Programming Director
Betty Ginzburg, Ross Flax of the Coffee
Development Group, Hynes and several
students.
The committee categorized and matched
similar names for the bar and then narrowed it down to about 18 names, said Hynes,
until finally deciding on the winner.
Other prizes awarded included a

Three other students, Frank Gultler,

two pounds of coffee each as the third runners up.
According to Hynes, 6,000 cups of coffee were served over the 4 days of "I Love
Coffee Week." Said Hynes, it was "a worthwhile promotion. It was well received."
Students were given the opportunity to
taste different types of brewed coffee during the promotion of the bar and SA and
University Auxiliary Services are hoping
their efforts will provide an alternative to
alcohol.
NEWS UPDATES-
Pogue stands firm on banning bulk containers
By James O'Sulllvan
Despite being grilled for over
twenty minutes last Friday afternoon, Vice President for Student
Affairs Frank Pogue stood firm
and said the University's ban on
kegs and beerballs will remain a
part of SUNYA's alcohol policy.
An impromptu meeting between Pogue and more than twenty students took place when
Pogue came out of his office to
meet students demonstrating
against the ban, which had been
approved two weeks before.
When students challenged the
legitimacy of the ban, noting that
Pogue's own "Implementation of
21" committee had voted to allow
beerballs by a vote of 8—2, Pogue
replied, "Committees make
recommendations and that's all."
"We get the feeling that the
students' recommendations were
ignored," one student said after
Pogue said he had received a
variety of proposals from different sources, not just the '21'
committee.
"You can feel this way...[but]
it's pretty much of a democratic
process," replied Pogue to

The event raised $1,800 which will be
donated by Telethon '86 to the Child

Teachers cut class
Maryland state education officials in
Baltimore, Maryland were startled at
the results of a new survey which indicated a need for 9,000 new teachers
through 1987. Stale universities and colleges said they expect to graduate a maximum of 3,000 students who plan to
pursue teaching during the same period.
"We didn't expect the teacher shortage to develop in almost every area as
quickly as it did," said George Funaro,
Deputy State Commissioner for Higher
Education in Maryland.
Funaro said the current critical areas
are math, science and foreign language,
but he expected the shortage will soon
effect virtually every school program.
"We are now seeing the consequences
of school underfunding, years of
teacher abuse, years of undervaluing
teachers and education," said Beverly
Conelle Slonestreet, President of the
Maryland State Teachers Association.
Calling all papers
The Union College Undergraduate
Review is accepting submissions for its
Spring, 1986 issue, according to Phil
Bean, editor of the Review.
The Review "was founded three years
a g o to p r o v i d e a forum for
undergraduate Work in the Humanities
and Social Sciences," said Bean adding
that submissions are accepted from all
colleges and that this is not "purely a
Union College publication".
"Submissions may be based on
research or on materials read and
discussed in class," said Bean.
"Creative writing or poetry will not be
accepted...(as) the emphasis of the
Review is on the quality of the written
argument or discussion," he said.
According to Bean, the deadline for
submission is February 7, 1986. Papers
should be sent to Box 2590, Union College, Schenectady, NY 12308.
No change to spare
The only change machine in the Uptown Library has been in the repair shop
since Monday, November 18, according
to Peter Recore-Migirditch, head of Administrative Services of the Library.
"It was removed because it's not getting power and we don't know
why, "said Recore-Migirditch. He added
that the machine is library-owned
equipment.
"We hope that it'll be back any day,
but we don't know when," he continued. "The person who works on it
was ill and he only recently returned to
work," he said.
"This is a bad time not to have a
change machine," he said, adding that
during the week "we have change at the
circulation desk, but on weekends we
don't because we can't replenish the
source of change."
Hotline saves lives
During the first six months of the
operation of The Samaritans, a local
suicide prevention agency, 4,833 people
contacted the hotline, according to
Karen Wasby, executive director of The
Samaritans, who added that an average
of 26 calls per day were received during
the period.
Wasby said that "60 percent of the
callers and visitors were female (and) 40
percent were male. Fifty percent were in
the very high risk category of under 30
years old. Over 20 percent of the initial
contacts were 'third party' callers, or
(those) concerned about a friend or
family member," she said.
According to Wasby, the numbers of
attempted or completed suicide is on the
rise nationally. "Suicide Is now responsible for one American death every 20
minutes," she said, ading that in 1984,
there were a total of 121 suicides In the
Capital District.
The Samaritans is staffed by
volunteers and has a 24-hour phone
hotline, 463-2323, and walk-in services
at 200 Central Avenue in Albany.
"If you're looking for
logic, don't look
here...look to the
legislature."

STAFF WRITER
College social life is changing
along with the alcohol purchase
age.
That seems to be the message as
area colleges adopt their policies
to the new state law, which goes
into effect December 1. And just
as SUNYA's University Council
voted to ban kegs and beerballs
from the dorms, other schools are
either tinkering with or rewriting
their alcohol policies.
Union College in Schenectady
has not yet adopted an official
policy concerning drinking rules
and regulations on campus, according to Chris Siler, president
of the student government.
However, a recommendation put
together by a committee made up
of faculty, administration and
students has been endorsed by the
student government and is now
going to the President and finally
to the Board of Trustees for
approval.
The proposal would mandate
invitation only admittance to parties serving alcohol, Siler said, but
he added that he saw problems
with the idea. "Before, there used
to be an average of three open
parties on a Friday night, now if
you happen not to get an invitation, what are you supposed to
do?"
Siler agreed that the drinking
age change will affect social life.
"Right now most of our social
life Is centered around fraternities
and on campus activities, but new
students will have to be looking
for other alternatives. They'll
probably start going to bars
more."
School sponsored events will
also be affected by the change in
the drinking age. A public event,
which is defined by participation
of two-thirds or more of the campus will not include alcohol, said
Siler.
In addition, Union's eighteen
fraternities will now be allowed to
invite to parties only double the
number of people in their fraternity if they wish to serve alcohol.
Slier explained that that means if
a fraternity has 25 members, they
may invite no more than 50 guests
to their party.
Right now the students' main
concern, according to Siler, is
protecting their two campus bars.
The Pub and The Skellar, as they
are popular student hangouts.
"We have one of the more
liberal policies concerning
alcohol," said Linda Hillin,
President of Student Affairs at
Siena College in Loudonville.
"We are not going dry." The Rat
will not close but it will change its
policy to serving alcohol only on
certain designated nights, she
said, adding that on those nights
only students 21 and older will be
allowed in.
School sponsored mixers will
not serve alcohol as well, but
drinking in the dorms, Hillin said,
wil( not be regulated. "What goes
on behind closed doors is not our
business and students can drink in
their rooms."
Russell Sage College in Troy is
not planning to ban alcohol but
has adopted a complicated policy
concerning parties on campus, according to Shelley Morgan,
Residence Program Director. No
drinking in dorms is allowed and
Resident Assistants are obligated
to issue a report if they find
anyone drinking, with further
reports possibly leading to administrative action, she said.

Pogue explained that the
University fears being named in
liability suits if students under the
age of 21 consume alcohol and
then damage property or hurt
people. "Our response to that
was to reduce alcohol in bulk
containers."

About the only peace offering
Pogue offered to the students was
a promise that the University will
evaluate the policy as it is implemented and after it has been in
effect. "We will keep a close eye
on that this spring," he said.
"Any new policy that goes into
effect is carefully evaluated," he
stressed as students raised concerns about increasing drug use,
hidden consumption, more use of
hard liquors, and relationships
with RAs.
"These are problems I can't
deal with — 'what abouts.' "
Pogue continued, "We will be
able to answer a number of these
questions next semester."
NEWS EDITOR
Towards the end of the session,
which took place in the West lobby of the administration building,
closest to the BA building, Pogue
told the students the University
was only trying to live with a law
that the administration had no input on. "If you're looking for
logic don't look here...look to the
legislature."

Adamant about Adam Ant
T
he power was back. In fact, I think it
never left. I had witnessed it but
once before. It was in Poughkeepsie
on his 1984 tour. And now, again, in
Albany in '85.
April Anastasi
It was the mysterious power of a
superstar. One whom is loved, adored,
chased,and"seemingly never caught. It's the
same type of power that can be seen in
tapes of Beatles' concerts, Elvis concerts,
and even Sinatra concerts. It's that
something that I never thought I'd see in
real life. It was that something I saw
tonight.
The scariest part was her age. She was
12. As we talked before the concert, I
learned that her name was Marcy. She'd
written to our great adored one and he'd
sent her an autographed picture. She'd loved him for — how many years — she
couldn't remember, but professed to having known and loved some of his early
songs.
Then the show began and things happened like I'd never seen before. We were
all excited, sure, but she was extra excited.
She really loved him — that much was obvious as she listened in awe to stories from
the last concert of his that we had attended.
Also, I suspected that this might be her first
concert — another important factor.
But when he came o n t o t h e
stage . . . Adam Ant himself — live, and in
person, as they say . . . 1 saw that power
doing things to that little 12-year-old like
I'd never imagined. Naturally, we were all
screaming with delight at the mere sight of
him. However, she was crying. Real tears
were streaming down her face as she
screamed with the rest of us.
1 saw in her the same hysteria I'd seen in
clips from concerts by those early artists,
the Beatles, Elvis, and Sinatra. It's so hard
to describe, the sight of a little seventh
grader who perceives herself so in love
with a stranger, a man more than twice her
age, that her own feelings overpower her
and cause her to faint three times before he
finishes his first song. I'd never seen
anything like it before and hope to never
again.
Near the halfway point of the concert,
she fainted again — this time she was in
the second or third row, where, for someone that short, it seemed impossible to
get any clean, unused-air at all. This time it
was worse . . . she had to be carried furthur
back in the a u d i e n c e . . .
it was too
stifling.
During the last encore Adam Ant ripped
his already torn rock tour shirt into pieces.
He threw them into the audience, taking
each piece at a time and wringing the sweat
from it.
As the pieces came down, I, like almost
everyone else, tried to grab one. One piece
landed directly behind me. As I turned to
try to get it, so did everyone behind me.
'
. . . The girl cried for the entire encore,
and I just had to turn away. It just struck
me as too ridiculous to be true ...
They turned slightly vicious as a few people caught it at once and no one would let
go. A security guard who was nearby
wound up breaking it up, even though it
took quite a while. And when it was over, I
looked at a girl who had been in the scuffle
but who was now next to me. She was crying, really sobbing, just because she didn't
get a piece of his shirt.
. The girl cried for the entire encore, and I
just had to turn away. It struck me as too
ridiculous to be true.
As we left the concert, I thought about
how just being there, I had a part of Adam
Ant that would always be with me. I had
been close enough to see the color of those
eyes and to really hear the sound of his
voice and see that smile. He was, to put it
as moderately as possible, one of thebest
performers I'd seen. He was full of nonstop energy, barely pausing as he danced
his way across the stage and into our
hearts.
The audience was definitely younger
than I'd expected — mostly high-school
age and younger, and I felt old. However,
when Adam Ant sang some older songs
like "Desperate But Not Serious" and
"Stand and Deliver," I reveled in being
among the few who could sing along. He
set the entire place bopping with "Strip"
and "Playboy." The most exciting part, of ~~
course, was to see him perform live the
soon-to-be-hits from his new album, such
as the title track, "Vive le Rock", and
"Apollo 9."
Due to the relatively small size of the audience at jB's Theatre, Adam Ant was able
to carry on conversations with us and
evoke enthusiastic audience participation.
We sang with him, screamed for him, and
he even taught us one of the dance steps
for which he is so well known.
Next time he's in the area, if you want to
go to a show where you can really dance
and hear great music, have a terrific time
and see a performer who really gives his
all, go to see Adam Ant. I don't know if
any rock star is worth the hysteria evoked
in that young girl, but Adam Ant is really
something special. You won't regret it.

Little nifties from the fifties

2nd Street is one big, bright, and
bouncy cliche — and so whatl
Cliches are truths used too often.
Every once in a while they are forgotten,
and when they return — Powl It's stronger
than ever.

The production at Proctors Wednesday
evening was two and a half hours of nonstop "haven't I heard this before" entertainment. Maybe it's been heard before, but
it's never been staged quite like this (by the
late Cower Champion). No one will ever
accuse playwrights Michael Stewart and
Mark Bramble of making audiences think;
rather the two men took a classic little
story, dressed her brightly, gave her a
divine voice and some happy feet, then
sent her out into the world for all to see
and love.
And love it the Proctors' audience did!
Peggy Sawyers (Cathy Wyder), from
Allentown. PA, dreams of stardom. Reality demands that she settle for less. Dreams
beg for more. And, as this is fantasy
anyway, dreams win.
The volatile Dorothy Brock (Elizabeth
Allen) falls and breaks a leg. She blames
Peggy, who is immediately fired by Pretty
Lady's beleagured director, Julian Marsh
(Michael Dantuono). Peggy flees to the
train station while the cast discusses what
to do. They decide Peggy should replace
Dorothy.
And the chase is on. Marsh finds Peggy
and tells her she's the new star. "O.K. I'll do
itl" she finally exclaims. Following a
maniac 36 hour preparation, it's nearly
showtime when Dorothy is wheeled in.
She wishes Peggy well. Peggy's friend Annie comes in next. "You're not just Peggy
tonight, you're every girl in the chorus line
who ever dreamed." Peggy leaves her
dressing room and comes back . . . a star.
Visually, vocally, and artistically, therewere no standouts; everyone was a part of
the actiofi. The "We're in the Money" sequence was as brilliant a number as has
ever been staged. In front of a New York
skyline composed of silver coins, dancers
wearing silver sequined clothes tapped
away atop wig-box size silver dollars. During the comic "Shadow Waltz," a man attempted to dance with a huge shadow cast
by Dorothy Brock.
The train station set for the "Lullaby of
A
Marie
Santacroce
The play is an expressionistic drama
about artist Dion Anthony, whose extreme
sensitivity in a materialistic world makes a
neurotic alcoholic of him. Dion is contrasted with his rival and friend Billy
Brown, a commonplace man destined to be
ordinary for the rest of his life. Brown
becomes obsessively jealous of Dion.
Staged at the University Performing
Arts Center, Wednesday, November 20
through Saturday, November 23, The
Great God Brown was an exciting and
most unusual play. The design staff nicely
flavored the stage with remnants of the
early 1900's. An interesting touch was the
assortment of pictures of famous figures of
the times, which were interchangeably
lowered and raised between acts. The most
outstanding of, all was one of O'Neill
himself glowering out at the audience from

Broadway" number was a brilliant convention. Dual staircases and a balcony towering over the stage allowed the cast to descend upon Peggy to the point where she
finally agrees to save the show. The finale,
"42nd Street", and it's reprise in which
directer Marsh solos, were terrific as well.
Allen's performance as the bitchy
Dorothy left little to be desired. Her big
dramatic moment arrived at the end as her
character is humanized by wishing Peggy
luck opening night. Wydner's Peggy grew
throughout the show, and her fine acting
was tremendously complemented by her
superior dancing and singing. Though the
role of Peggy's would-be-beau Jim Walton
lacked sufficient character development,
Billv(Lawlor's infectious spirit and dancing
still sets him apart.
Bibi Osterwald and Cathy Susan Pyles,
as playwright Maggie Jones and Peggy's
chorus line friend Annie, respectively,
stole the show. Osterwald possesses the
sassy, brassy style which ruled the stage
years ago. Pyles represents the new breed
of excitement. She has a deep, gravelly
voice and exudes thorough enjoyment of
her work.
As good as 42nd Street was, one major
complaint must be noted. A bank of lights
about eight inches high around the lip of
the stage blocked the view of the dancer's
feet for a good portion of those in the orchestra seats. Tap is foot work; not seeing
it was a problem. Also, during the "We're
in the Money" number the large coins
couldn't be seen, as they were below the
lights. All in all, though, 42nd Street lit up
Schenectady last week.

PAC unmasks Great God Brown
n attempt to perform any play by
Eugene O'Neill is a praiseworthy
task. The SUNYA Theatre Department, under the direction of Jarka Burian,
took on the doubly difficult burden of
selecting O'Neill's most abstract, if not
most bizarre play, The Great God Brown.
A Little Dying
42nd Street is simply a great show. Proctors was a perfect setting, with its
Vaudeville-era decor and near-perfect
acoustics. The dancers wore appropriately
muted colored costumes, which facilitated
the ensemble feeling. No one stood out
visually.

interesting was

along with the simple, unadorned
ed the mood of the play.
accomcentury
All this
sets fix-
The costumes were true to O'Neill's
directions and were realistic recreations of
1920's garb. The masks, a symbol of the
characters' dual personalities, were skillfully and creatively crafted. Particularly interesting was Dion's mask, which became
increasingly grotesque as he neared his
death.
The actors who had the weighty responsibility of making an obscure, abstract play
understandable did so beautifully. Mark
Walthers was a dynamic and touching
Dion. He skillfully wove the character's
dual personality of bitter cynic and sensitive lost soul into a realistic one. Steve
Hart seemed at first constrained by his role
as Billy Brown, the nice guy who becomes
overruled by his uncontrollable jealousy of
Dion. Hart, however, came to life, commanding the entire stage, when his
character attempted to become the now
dead Dion.
With her insightful humor and flippant
comments, Judith Wilfore was Cybel, the
tough prostitite and tender earth-mother,
from the moment she set foot on stage.
Karen Sherman simply and sweetly portrayed Margaret, the wife of Dion, who
could love only his mask and not the man
beneath it. A special mention goes to Todd
Malone, Robert Rodger, and Robert Royce
who were charming as the three young
sons of Dion and Margaret. Their mere
presence lightened the serious tone of the
play.
Under the competent direction of
Burian, the sets, costume, and acting complemented a fantastic script, creating a
realistic and succesful version of The Great
God Brown.

More than just
beer balls
Last Friday approximately S00 students
stormed the administration building demanding
that the University reconsider its recent decision to
ban bulk containers in dorm rooms.
Amidst the cries of "The students united will
never be defeated!" and shouting matches of
"Tastes great. . .Less filling!" hundreds of
students charged through the halls of the
administration building, stopping first to loudly
present their views to University President Vincent
O'Leary. But although few students knew it at the
time, their demands echoed through an empty
office: O'Leary was out of town.
"On to Frank's office," shouted Student
Association President and rally leader Steve
Gawley. And with that, the crowd took off for the
Office of Vice President for Student Affairs Frank
Pogue, who, along with O'Leary, recommended
to University Council early this month that kegs
be banned from dorm rooms.
As the mob of angry students reached his office,
Pogue got up from his desk, walked out of his
office, and faced the protesters.
He shook a lot of hands and listened for about
20 minutes to what students had to say. He didn't
change his stance on banning bulk containers, but
he did try to explain why he believed the policy
should be implemented.
Although Pogue is unlikely to change his
position on this issue, he's earned our admiration
and respect for having the courage to address the
students on a hotly contested decision. We
commend him for an unusual display of
administrative balls.
Many thanks
In keeping with the tradition of Thanksgiving,
let's pause for a moment to reflect on the many
things we have to be thankful for.
••The SUNY Board of Trustees, along with
several other Universities across the nation,
divested its holdings in companies that do business
in South Africa.
••The Geneva summit, although little more than a
beginning, gives us new hope for world peace.
• • A n escort service that had already escorted
more students by the middle of this semester than
they had in all of last semester.
••Dwight Oooden and Don Mattingly.
Obviously, this barely touches the surface of the
numerous reasons for us to be thankful. But let's
not forget the concerns we must still work to
improve.
••Despite much student protest last year, the
"W" policy is still in effect. Anyone daring
enough to try a new or difficult course had 10 days
to try it out. Students who couldn't make it after
10 days, paid for it with a "W".
••The Great Dane football team didn't make the
NCAA's this year, even though they had an 8-2
record that included some tough opponcnents.
NCAA officials selected the playoff teams based
solely on quantity of wins without giving fair
consideration to the quality of opponents.
••46 percent of incoming I'rosh and transfers
found themselves living in increased occupancy
this year. Getting adjusted to the University is
enough of a challenge, without having to spend
the first few weeks sharing a two-person room
with three or four other students.
••The 21-year-old drinking age will take effect on
December 1, denying 18-20-year old citizens, who
can vote, marry and fight in a war, the right to go
into a bar and order a beer.
••Beginning next Fall, SUNYA students will be
paying about $95 more per year to live on campus,
as part of a new plan to eliminate all state
subsidies for the dorms, making them selfsufficient.
There are, thankfully, ways to change these
problems. While we've much to be thankful for,
there's still some improvements to be made before
we can celebrate a perfect Thanksgiving,

To the Editor:
This past week Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, sponsor
of TKE Week, took advantage of an opportunity to
• reveal some of the true spirit not often recognized in
Greek life. The TKE brothers gathered last Wednesday
and proceeded to collect several bags of leaves and pine
needles as well as scattered garbage. Thursday's Movie
Night offered students a chance to substitute a typical
Thursday out with a quiet evening on campus. The TKE
Keg Roll, which received coverage from both TV 10 and
WNYT, consisted of a nonstop 50 mile relay around the
academic podium. TKE accepted pledges from students
that added up to $800. That will be donated to St. Judes
Children's Research Hospital. Today, TKE will be found
downtown on Hamilton Street raking and cleaning. The
final event is TKE Night at the Little Horn this Tuesday
(tonight). The brothers hope to see everyone there in
celebration of a week of fun and charity.

Who Can Write a Column?
Often columns are political in nature. Just look at the
many written by Fred Tabarcci (Sept. 20, Nov. 22) or Ina
Pollack's column on Jews in the Soviet Union (Nov. 6).
Many students write concerning prejudice in this society
or other areas of the world. The column section is often
employed by readers to expose bias, discrimination, intolerance, injustice, hatred, fear or violence that the
writer feels should be brought to the attention of the entire student body. Minority, racial, ethnic and national
groups are usually the victims of injustice, but the ignoramus can have anyone or anything as a target. For one
reason or another, the editors and staff of this paper may
not cover an issue, it may have been overshadowed (in
our eyes) by a more important event. The column section
allows the reader to direct attention to a specific subject
that is of interest to him (or her). But a column does not
always have to be concerned with social reform.
the burden placed on Resident Assistants by the new
drinking regulations, he took advantage of the column
section in the ASP. And when Larry Hartman felt
students might forget the importance of free elections,
when he feared student voter apathy, he reminded the
campus of our privelege in an article entitled "Vote!
Vote! Vote!" (Nov.l)
There are also charities, social events, special days and
even telethons which may escape the notice of the papers
editors. Or maybe there are some unsung heroes you'd
like the world to know about. Eric Blaha (Nov. 12) sent in
a column when he wanted everyone to realize what a
significant history greeks had on campus. He also threw
in a little section about how great he felt the greeks were.
Well, that's Eric for you.
There have been a great many subjects addressed in the
columns section. All which woo reader interest because
they are written by readers. In short, the column is the
readers voice- that's what makes it special and unique
from the rest of the paper.
We, the editors of the ASP, formally invite all our
readers to say what they feel we should know. Why,
because when this is not done, the leading casuality is an
idea, a thought, a feeling or belief that is cherished by
you, the reader. As an expert on what is important to
humans, as an expert on being human, we'd like you to
expose your views.
We invite you to share a human opinion. And one does
not have to be editorial pages editor to know the value of
human opinion.
Who can write a column in the ASP1 Everyone can.
Are we intersted in being enlightened by your opinion?
Well, you can just bet your bouncing baby blue booties
we are. After all, that's what a column section is all
about.
•
Columns can also focus on problems that are indigenous to the SUNYA campus. For example, when
David Pratt (Nov. 15) wished to make the school aware of
Roger Barnes is the Editorial Pages Editor of the ASP.
It is an effort to increase reader influence and reader input concerning the contents of the newspaper- That's
what the column section is: A home for contributions to
the paper written by the readers. It's an editorial by the
readership and it illustrates the obligation of a good paper
to go beyond news gathering and reporting to print issues
written by, and of concern to, the reader. It is, likewise, a
move which takes the story out of the hands of reporters
and gets the issue handled by the peruser, the critics and
the skeptics who feel reader opinion is of tantamount
value to the challenge of a good papers duty to do more
than merely report only the news. A column is something
which is written for human interest. Consequently, all
columns can be said to be written by experts, that is, experts on the art of reader interest.

To the Editor:
We would like to take this opportunity to publicly congratulate the University Auxilary Service on its incredible
sense of originality and creativity. Where else can you get
such a wide variety of foods under the same roof?
In the past month we've had 1-4 chicken, chicken rice
soup, chicken noodle soup, chicken chow mein, deep
fried chicken, chicken parmesian, chicken wings, chicken
nuggets, "Lightly Browned Roast Chicken," and chicken
sandwich on a sesame roll. They even reached across the
globe to bring us Hawaiian chicken (thanks, UAS).
Notice anything slightly familiar about these entrees?
Sclerosis busters
To the Editor:
This is to inform the University community of the
Students Against Multiple Sclerosis (SAMS) Program.
Our main event is the Rock Alike — rock star look
alike contest. What this involves is students impersonating rock stars in their videos. Each contestant will
have the opportunity to represent Albany State in a national contest run by MTV. MTV will film a video of the
contestant's performance and the finals of the contest will
be seen on MTV. The winner of the entire contest will be
given a summer internship at MTV.
The whole Rock Alike event is an effort to raise funds
for the vital research of Multiple Sclerosis, a
neurologically disabilitating disease,. that primarily affects people 17-34. Just when you're beginning to live,
Multiple Sclerosis can strike. We at Albany State are out
to bust Multiple Sclerosis, and if Albany raises the most
money, then MTV will give a concert here at Albany next
fall. This free concert will be filmed and then aired on
MTV.
So get involved, sign up to be a contestant, help get the
free concert for Albany State, but most of all, let's get
together and bust Multiple Sclerosis!

To the Editor:
Last Friday it appeared as if the Student Association
added a notch onto their belt of successes due to the large
turnout at the protest of the Ban on Kegs and Beerballs.
However, such an assertion depends on one's definition
of "success." It is indeed possible to regard the result of
this rally as being an utter failure, or rather a reflection of
the failure of college students to empathize with "real"
problems directly facing various groups in today's world
and ultimately affecting the world as a whole.
There have been on this campus a number of events
whose purposes were directed at providing a forum for
learning, or the expression, of student concern and support. Some example are the rally against apartheid and
Jean Kilbourne's presentation on women's portrayal in
the media. Although both events were moderately successful, in terms of student interest, neither attracted the
number of students that was attracted to this past Friday's rally.
Granted, the alcohol policy of this university is
something which directly affects the lives of 21 year olds
living on campus (however few of them there are - surely
this number is significantly less than the number of
students who participated in the rally. This leaves one
wondering about the motives behind the incredible
display of enthusiasm.) However, it is important for
students or responsible citizens fortunate enought to attend an institution of "higher learning" to "extend"
themselves to issues which they see are not directly affecting them.
Most likely a close examination of issues such as apartheid, the oppression of women, and alcohol abuse would
make students aware of the fact that our interrelationships with each other render us all as being hopelessly
connected.

The final toast
To the Editor:
The following is in response to the recent protest of the
new SUNYA policy banning kegs and beer-balls.
So SA President Steve Gawley and his cohorts feel their
rights are being infringed upon by not being allowed to
consume kegs of beer within their own rooms? And
Gawley feels the new policy is "ridiculous" and
"nonfunctional"?
Well, it Is my belief that parties at which kegs of beer
are present rarely are contained within the privacy of
one's own room. These parties, while being a lot of fun
and fine opportunities to meet people, more often than
not, cause problems. I believe many people leave these
parties out of control, and wind up infringing the rights
of their fellow students. 1 feel the right to peace and quiet,
vomit-free bathrooms and stairwells, and operational exit
lights and bathroom stall doors far outweigh the conceived fight to consume large amounts of alcohol in an
already too crowded living environment. Large amounts
of alcohol and large numbers of people in the small living
areas within dorms simply is not functional.
This new policy represents needed measures to control
alcohol consumption by those who will not have the
privilege (80 percent plus), and is not an attack on the
small percentage.who will be 21 on December 1. If
nothing else, the "Rat" will still be available to those who
are of age. So, for those who will not be 21 by December
1, 1985, and are demonstrating against SUNYA policy,
any question regarding alcohol policy (and you) is moot.
Your efforts will prove fruitless (no pun intended). So
whether anyone chooses to join Steve Gawley in sitting on
a keg all winter long outside the Administration building
in protest to SUNYA policy. New York State law and
SUNYA policy will not change.
I would like to convey my sincere regrets to those of
you whose social life revolves around alcohol. Also, my
apologies to you, the cavalier few who are able to conduct
themselves civilly while sitting in a dormitory drinking a
keg of brew. Cheers.

No ladies please
To the Editor:
The ERA never did get ratified. If it had, perhaps I
wouldn't have to write this letter. I am appalled at the
blatently sexist language on several campus bathroom
doors. Why must this institute of higher learning have a
Men's room meanwhile, right next door, a Ladies room?
Being an English major, I am particularly sensitive to the
use of language; I am also forced to be reminded of the
double standard every time I walk down the Humanities
building hall. I know there are many other SUNYA
bathroom doors which purvey the message that women
must act as ladies while men are simply men. This is not a
petty concern! I am extremely irritated by this brazen lack
of respect for the power of words. A university should be
a model of progressive thought. The fact that this situation exists here is embarassing to us all. I'm sure it would
not be that much of an ordeal for this inequity to be
remedied. In the interest of the university at large, I appeal to whomever is in charge of painting messages on the
bathroom doors to change Ladies to Women, thus rectifying this sexism once and for all.
—Jane Szlasa
King of chess
..,
To the Editor:
Many of you out there may not have heard, but the
world has a new chess champion, 22 year old Gary
Kasparov of Russia. Actually, only several years ago he
was known as Gary Epstein to friends and relatives; that
is, until Soviet authorities realized that they had a potential world champion on their hands. Unfortunately, a
Jewish-sounding name does not complement the image of
Russian sporting and intellectual superiority that the
Kremlin wishes to maintain.
Neverless, despite the new and 'improved' name,
Kasparov's victory did not bring tears of joy to the eyes
of leading Soviet bureaucrats. Kasparov is an outsider, a
provincial, and the demise of Anatoly Karpov as world
champion has undoubtedly collapsed an entire mini chess
bureaucracy of syncophants who have encrusted
themselves about him in Moscow during the past ten
years.
The match was gruelling, but far less so than their first
one which was cancelled after 50 games had been played
with no clear result. This time, however, there was no
doubt as to who the better player was. On several occasions the normally sober Soviet chess fans present as spectators during the match burst out in wild applause, cheering and whistling after dazzling surprise moves by
Kasparov.
Chess has, over the past two centuries, seen some eccentric champions, to say the least. Alexander Alekhine,
the greatest of the Soviet players of the early 20th century, once became so furious upon losing an important
game that he knocked over all the pieces, climbed on the
table, and proceeded to urinate on the chessboard. Dutch
champion Dr. Max Euwe was a noted psychiatrist, and
who could forget the antics of America's own Bobby
Fisher, considered by many to be the most talented player
yet seen. Bobby's temper tantrums were legendary, and
he delighted in infuriating the Russian chess establishment by consistently showing up late and sometimes not
at all during the 1972 championships in Reykjavik,
Iceland. In fact, most chess enthusiasts are keeping a
flame burning in the hope that Fisher will come out of his
self-imposed premature retirement and again mow down
the top Russian chess wizards. The Russians had never
agreed to the stringentconditionsFisher had demanded for
the defense of his FIDE (Federation Internationale Des
Echecs) title, but Kasparov is a different sort of man than
Karpov, and it is not conceivable that a match could be
somehow arranged-a real chess battle of the century.
Anyway, I'm sure I echo the sentiments of the world in
conveying congratulations to the youngest champion in
chess history, Gary (Epstein) Kasparov.

Getting to roots of depression may
facilitate a better understanding
By Donna Baggott
Everyone at one time or another experiences depression. In fact, mild depression is the most common emotional disturbance in America today. Depression is a
normal part of living as long as it is not
prolonged or on a regular basis. Serious
depression, however affects one of five
people at some time in
their lives.
Middle
There is a broad range
of symptoms which are Earth
common to depression.
Changes in behaviors Roots
and feelings include social withdrawal,
neglect of responsibilities, poor concentration, irritability, inability to gain pleasure
from enjoyable activities and loss of sexual
desire.
Changes in biological functioning may
occur, such as in eating and sleeping patterns, in addition to unexplained aches and
pains. In a mild depression, dejection or
discouragement are usual feelings, whereas
in a more severe depression, feelings of
very low self-worth, utter helplessness and
suicidal feelings may be experienced.
The causes of depression are multiple
and complex, as they are unique to each
person. There are, however, several common causes. First of all, certain personality characteristics may be involved in
predisposing an individual to depression.
People who are highly self-critical, very
demanding or unusually passive and
dependent may be prone to depression.
Environmental influences may play a role
in causing depression too. Unfavorable
family, social or working environments
can be conducive to depression.
One of the most common explanations
of depression is separation or loss. The
loss may regard an event such as divorce,
death of a loved one, loss of one's job, end
of a relationship, moving to a new place,
or even graduating from school. The grief
one experiences from the loss or separation
is turned inward in overly dependent individuals, and develops into an on-going
process of self-blame and -guilt. The loss
may be viewed as a rejection.
A second commonly given explanation
for depression is learned helplessness.
Although anxiety may be the initial
response to a stressful situation, it is
replaced by depression if the person comes
to believe that control is unattainable, or
that negative outcomes are unavoidable.
The depression-prone individual tends to
attribute bad outcomes to personal,
global, stable faults of their character,.
They will fail to initiate action that might
allow them to cope.
Thirdly, physical causes are often named as possible reasons for experiencing
depression. Hormonal or chemical shortages or imbalances are thought to play a
role in some cases of depression. Certain
medications, low-grade infection or the initial stages of a cold or the flu can also lead
to depression.
In dealing with depression, it is important to identify the potential sources of the
depression. Is there a key event that set it
off? When did it happen? Where did it occur? Where did it begin? With whom did it
occur? Is there a definable pattern? A
systematic analysis of such factors can
contribute to an understanding of the
depression.
University Counseling Center, Student
Health Services and Middle Earth are all
places on-campus where one may seek help
in dealing with depression. Middle Earth
counselors are trained to help people cope
with their problems and are available to
talk at almost any time. Feel free to call
Middle Earth at 442-5777 or stop by

Nov. chosen as diabetes month
By Mark Kobrlnsky
STAFF WRITER
In an effort to make Americans
more aware or the seriousness of
diabetes, the American Diabetes
Association (ADA) has named
November as National Diabetes
Awareness Month.
Barbara Nichols, Executive
Secretary of the Capital District
Chapter of the ADA said, "The
three major goals of National
Diabetes Awareness Month are
education, research and the detection of the unknown diabetic."
The ADA is seeking to educate
the public, as well as the diabetic,
on the prevention and complications of diabetes, and accomodating the diabetic person,
said Nichols.
The ADA defines diabetes as
"a disease in which the body does
not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that is needed to
convert sugar, starches and other
food into the energy needed for
daily life."
There is no cure for diabetes,
however ADA scientific experts
are confident that recent research
discoveries will lead to a cure.
Diabetes is divided into two
categories: Type I and Type II.
"Type I, insulin-dependent
diabetes, is found in 15 percent of
all cases, usually in children and
young adults," reported the
ADA.
Type I is the most severe of the
two types of diabetes. Symptoms
of this form of diabetes often occur suddenly. The ADA indicated
warning signs of "extreme thirst
and hunger, frequent urination,
rapid weight loss with easy tiring,
weakness, fatigue, irritability and
nausea and vomiting."
Type II, non-insulin dependent
diabetes, is a more common form
of the disease and occurs in
almost 85 percent of the cases
detected. Nichols said, "This
form of diabetes develops mainly
in persons who are over the age of
40, and are overweight."
Persons who have this form of
the disease still produce insulin,
but their body cells resist the insulins actions. They may go for
years without realizing they have
diabetes, she said.
The symptoms for Type II
diabetes come on slowly and may
seem minor. According to the
ADA, symptoms include
"fatigue, frequent urination, extreme thirst, itchy skin, blurred

slowly dispersed.
"I was very pleased with the
way everyone conducted
themselves in such a peaceful
manner," said Gawley.
"This is more than a protest for
the alcohol rights, it' a protest for
student rights," said Charles
Green, president of Sigma Alpha
Mu fraternity. "I think it's unfair and if we try long and hard
enoughthe policy will be changed.
This is going to ruin the college's
social life," said Beth Rubin.
Chris Stein said the reason he
came to the rally was , "I am interested in what's going on and
feel the policy must be changed."
In an interview after the rally,
Gawley said SA has different
things planned for every week.
Tuesday SA will be encouraging
students to call O'Leary and
Pogue before they leave for the
Thanksgiving recess.
We're hoping to get 300 phone"
calls to each of them during the
course of the day," he said.
Next week, Gawley said SA is
planning individual lobby visits to
Pogue and O'Leary.
Stettin^ discussed aspects of the
protest during a post-rally interview. 'T was happy with the turnout out although the weather
probably lowered it," he said.
When asked how his participation as a speaker would affect
relations with his supervisors,
Stettin said, "So far nobody has
given me any flack personally.
Supposedly other RAs were
threatened."
O'Leary was unavailable for
comment as he left Albany Friday
for a business meeting in New
York.
Gawley said he felt O'Leary's
abscence was very "convenient"
since the rally had also been .
scheduled for that day.
"As it stands the policy remains in place and will go into effect December 1st," saif Pogue.
"Honestly I think the University
should have taken the route of
many colleges and become 'dry'.
The University wouldn't be as
liable as they are now. I think it's
a very reasonable policy," he
said.
vision and sores that heal slowly." Patients may require some
sort of oral medication but, many
times can be treated with diet control and exercise.
Nichols said, "There really is
no way to prevent diabetes if it
runs in the family. However," she
added, "no one should be grossly
overweight."
Diabetes can strike practically
anybody, according to the ADA,
but the disease "occurs in twice as
many women as men, and is
found more frequently among
black and low income
populations."
Statistics from the ADA report
that more than 12 million people
in the United States have
diabetes. It is now considered to
be one of the worst diseases of
our time. Statistics also show that
diabetes results in a "tremendous
$18 billion-a-year drain on the
U.S. economy.
The ADA is not federally subsidized and relies totally on public
support to help diabetics and their
families. The Capital District
Chapter of the ADA is presently
holding phone-a-thons and bikea-thons to gain money for their
cause.

Health insurance rate
By Linda Greenberg
STAFF WRITER
Malpractice insurance rate hikes will
have no effect on the cost of services provided by the Student Health Service at
SUNYA, even though nationwide large fee
hikes are predicted because of rising
malpractice rates.
In the State University of New York
system, state employees are covered by Article 17 of the NY State Constitution,
which is a public officers law dealing with
professional liability. Fulltime employees
of the Student Health Service do not have
to purchase malpractice insurance because
they are covered under Article 17," explained Associate Vice President for
Health and Counseling Services, Neil
Brown.
Medical Director Doctor Norman Dennis agreed, saying "Article 17 covers
anyone who may work for the state —
engineers, architects, attorneys, physicians, and others. The only instance that
malpractice insurance rates will affect
these workers is if they do other work on
the side, such as consulting."
In case of a malpractice suit involving a
state employee, "A suit would be filed in
the Court of Claims, and the State Attorney General's office would act as the
legal defense for the employee," said
Dennis.
"I don't see the malpractice issue causing an increase in rates. There will be no
cost increases for the remainder of this
year," said Brown.
"As for the next year, "The only thing
that would cause an increase in student
health insurance rates is an increase in the
cost of pharmaceutical supplies. We have
no control of. that. Also, a slight increase
in rates is to be expected due to inflation,"
he added.
"There could possibly be a modest price
increase with the expansion of Services,"
said Dennis. "More laboratory procedures
may be available at the Student Health
Service that would help us to obtain
quicker results with on-site laboratory
equipment at a lower cost to students,"
Dennis commented.
"For instance, a blood count at a
hospital might cost S12, but here at the infirmary, it would cost only $6. It would
cost less for students, while at the same
time generating six extra dollars of income
for the Infirmary," he said.
"This additional income would be used

Health Center fees to rise across nation
Kalamazoo, MI
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Health
center fees on the nation's campuses are
about to go up, college health officials
around the nation say.
Students at Western Michigan
University, for example, are paying
higher health center fees this semester
because WMU's insurance company
wanted to charge the school $500,000
more than last year for malpractice
insurance.
Although no one has ever accused
WMU of medical malpractice and collegiate malpractice suits are rare, experts
say students nationwide soon will share
WMU's misfortune. They also predict
many campus health care facilities will
be cutting back programs over the next
few years.
They say it's because skyrocketing
malpractice insurance rates are affecting
campuses for the first time this year, the
experts explained. "Where student
health centers have been insulated up to
now from the increase in malpractice
rates, they won't be anymore," said
Steve Blom, director of the American
College Health Association.
Added Eugene Marquardt, president
of the University Risk Managers
Association: " If we can't get it resolved,
institutions will be forced to cut back on
training and health care treatment. They
just will not be in any position to take
chances."
Many large schools with medical
training facilities already have been
unable to buy enough malpractice insurance. Companies are refusing to offer insurance in some cases because of
increasingly large court awards to patients who claim they have received improper or poor treatment.
In response, college risk managers
across the country currently are drafting
plans to insure themselves.
Marquardt is confident that, by adopting new tactics, most schools will be
able to keep their health service or
medical training programs going, but it
may cost students more.
He thinks the current insurance crisis
is as severe as any that has confronted
colleges since the late 196Gs, when student riots sent property insurance rates
through the roof. "The crisis has come
on faster, and gone deeper, than most
we've faced," Marquardt said.
Medical malpractice insurance
premiums are increasing as much as
four-fold in less than a year.
Campus insurance rates had been rising more slowly because student health
centers do not provide the kinds of care-such as surgery-that most frequently
trigger malpractice claims.
Moreover, campuses haven't had
many malpractice claims filed against
them.
Nevertheless, campus health officials
say it's only a matter of time before
higher malpractice rates catch up with
them. "I sense the insurance industry is
saying 'We've got to do something
about these losses,' and universities are
being swept up in that concern along
with everybody else," Blom said.

This was echoed by officer Andrew Panzer who responded to
the courtyard incident. "Those
individuals were black. The guys
we're looking for in the break-ins
were white."
"I took a report from a girl
in...Alden and got a real good
description," said Panzer referring to the individuals responsible
for the break-ins. Suspects, said
Panzer, include two individuals.
The first is a white male, 5*9"
tall, medium build, with reddishbrown hair and a full beard and
moustache. He was last seen
wearing blue jeans and a rustcolored jacket.
The second is also a white male,
standing S'6", weighing between
140 and 150 pounds, college age
with dark hair. He was last seen
wearing jeans, sneakers and a
short brown leather jacket with a
fur or sheepskin collar.

quoted UPD records to say,

Four of those were in Alden, two

"Because of the similarity of
the cases, it is suspected that the

hours in unlocked rooms. No incidents of this type have been
reported since the 20th according

Then the defense stiffened, and on fourth

for a first down.
But his airspace was violated by a diving

the ball.
"We were in our goal line defense, and
he tried a Walter Payton dive over the

"He just chilled him," beamed Ford. "I

Albany failed to score, but got the ball

Great Dane skaters whip Siena; fall to BCCC
By Olivia Abel
and Lisa Jacket
The Albany State hockey club experienced the thrill of victory as well as the
agony of defeat this weekend.
After crushing Siena 8-5 on Thursday,
they fell to Broome County Community
College, 6-3, on Saturday night.
The loss still can be used as an indication
of how the Danes will handle other tough
teams in the conference. Albany may have
lost, but more importantly, they were not
outclassed by Broome County.
"We had doubts about competing
against schools in the Division III league
which we have just joined this year," said
player Rich Diem. "But this weekend has
answered our questions - now we know we
can compete with and even beat these
teams."
"We keep improving with every game
we play," said Albany State head coach
Bruce Pomakoy.
Despite their loss Saturday night to
Broome County, Pomakoy felt that the
team played an outstanding game. He
pointed out that Broome is number one in
their division, proving that Albany can
compete with anyone in the division III
league.
After trailing 2-0 at the end of the first
period, Albany came out fighting in the
beginning of the second period in a display
of sharp passing to score three goals to
take a 3-2 lead.
Right wing Scott Ely scored first for
Albany with assists from Pete Leskody
and Dan Esler, followed by a goal from
Jim Mad.car and Paul Essner.
Ely scored his second goal of the game
with less than two minutes left in the
period with assists from Larry Harlman
and Mike Mondiello. Albany then lapsed,
allowing BCCC to score twice to end the
period with a 4-3 lead.
Albany lost control of the game as BCC
put the icing on the cake with two more
goals.
"Despite the loss we played our best
game yet," stated Pomakoy. "The desire
is there and they are just going to keep getting better and better."
Broome's coach told Pomakoy that
Albany would have won if Broome hadn't
scored the last two goals of the second
period. Pomakoy also noted Jim
Leskody's fabulous goaltending job Saturday night as well as Jim Ruggerio's ex-
cellent job Thursday.
Albany and Siena battled it out Thursday night, ending the first period with a tie
score of 2-2.
Playing more strongly and with intensity, Albany scored three more goals in the
third period to end the game with a victory
of 8-5. Albany's goals in the third period
were scored by defenseman Kusak, Dave
Dalbek and right wing Leskody.
Dalbek's goal was a tremendous individual effort as he went down one on one
with a Siena defenseman.

If you had earned a free weekend trip
to warm Atlanta, Georgia, would you
take it? Craig Parlato of the Albany
State men's cross-country team did just
that.
Parlato qualified for and ran in the
NCAA Division III Cross Country
championships held near Emory University of Atlanta this past weekend.
Would he do it all over again if asked?
Probably not.
Parlato's race was summed up in one
word by head coach, R.K. Munsey:
"Disappointing".
Parlato got on the starting line of the
grassy, hilly course with 183 other runners. He came across the finish in 155th
with a time of 29:21.
"It was the worst race of my life,"
said Parlato flatly.
This was Parlato's third consecutive
year in the nationals. In '83 and '84 he
represented Albany State as part of a
team, and placed 145th and 70th
respectively.

This year he ran for Albany State as
an individual. The Albany runners just
missed qualifying as a team this year,
but Parlato qualified as an individual
due to an excellent 11th place finish at
the NCAA regional meet on November
16th.
"At the regional meets across the
country there was a total of 1,729 men
who lined up to qualify for nationals.
Only 184 of thcse.guys made it. No matter how he did, he still deserves respect
for being there," said Munsey.
Although he didn't finish up strong,
Parlato seems to be fairly satisfied with
his season.
"It was an accomplishment making it
to nationals, but I've had better meets
than that", said Parlato.
Even though Albany State was not
represented at nationals, the quality of
their team can be seen in the quality of
the competition in the N.Y. Region.
Out of a field of 21 teams from eight
regions, the N.Y. region placed high.

Hartman commented, "The lines are

The team is looking for defenseman Billy Abrams, who is out with a broken arm,

Simon lost at 167 to Ed Muelhaust, 5-9,
but the Danes' "murders row", the upper
weight combination of Pidel, Sabo and
Tironi, destroyed their Brown opponents.
Pidel defeated Kurt McDowell, 10-2, Sabo
pinned Eric Conti 47 seconds into the
match, and Tironi pinned Eric Wilenzie at
1:17.
"The whole match was exciting," said
DeMeo. "It looks like we dominated it,
but we really didn't. We overwhelmed
them in a way, but not from the
beginning."
"Arnie and John were the outstanding
wrestlers of the match," said co-captain
Pidel. "Arnie wrestled great, and John
was just unbelievable. Jake Sabo also, I
don't think he wrestled more than four
minutes in all his matches combined."
The Danes will face Boston University
on Wednesday, December 4, in a match in
which DeMeo believes Albany is the
underdog.
"They're six-time New England
champs," said DeMeo, "and they beat
two of our stars in the Classic. Hopefully,
we're not going into that town for another
'Boston Massacre'. I'm more worried
about this match than I've been about any
other match in the past two years."

Junior Adam Ursprung.
The Albany State men's basketball team
tips off its season this weekend in the
Capitol District Tournament at Union.
The Great Danes won the tournament
last year, but, with only one returning
starter, whether or not Albany can match
that is up in the air. The Danes have lost
seven proven players since last year from a
team that went 22-6 and ended their successful season in the first round of the
NCAA tournament in Worcester,
Massachusetts.
Junior Adam Ursprung returns in his
third season starting for the Danes. Last
year the 6'4" small forward was the
leading scorer for Albany and was named
to the All-Conference team.
Joining Ursprung in the starting five is
junior Mike Cinque, a transfer from
Aldephi University. Cinque looks solid in
the point guard position and adds his two
years of experience gathered from starting
at the Divison II Long Island school.
Senior John Mracek will start in the
center. He'll be aided in the frontcourt by

Doug Kilmer, the team's best outside
shooter, will start at off guard.
Aside from Brian Kauppila, the other
senior co-captain, the Danes bench is inexperienced, which could pose a problem
throughout the season. Kauppila's value to
the team is evident in that he can substitute
in any postion.
On Sunday at 6 pm, the Great Danes
face RPI in the first round of the tournament. RPI has already lost to the University of Vermont and played Columbia last
night.
The Engineers return with 10 out of 13
players from last year's squad. Senior
Mike Gianniccini, a senior from Vermont,
is a returning starter at guard. He is joined
by Staten Island's John Walsh, a
sophomore, in the backcourt.
The team's center is senior Jack
Mahoney. The forwards are senior Bob
Fassett and sophomore Rob Roesch.
"RPI is favored because of the quality
of the returning players," said Albany
head coach Dick Sauers, "but we'll still
show up."
Immediately following this match,
Union and Skidmore play for a spot in
Monday night's finals.
Union lost three starters to graduation
from last year's 16-11 squad. Two of
them, Ken D'Orasio and Kevin Bartlett,
were 1000 point scorers. They accounted
for at least 30 ppg, which is bound to be
missed.
"We lost a lot of scoring and rebounding from last year said Union head
coach Bill Scanlon. "We are better defensively this year. The big question mark is
from a scoring standpoint."
Returning for Union are two sophomore
guards, Tom Beck at point, and Rob
Parento at off guard. 6'6" Mike Miller,
who is expected to start at center, is suffering with a hamstring problem. Ken Levine,
another guard, started in half of the games
last season.
"From a guard standpoint, we are fairly
solid," said Scanlon. "The three we lost
were all front line players."
"Albany's going to be tough. They still
have enough good players back," said
Scanlon. "Albany is pretty solid, and RPI
has enough people back.
Union's opponnent, Skidmore, has two
returning starters from a 12-14 team and
has lost its two leading scorers.
Dave Sterns returns to start at the off
guard position, where he averaged 10.6
ppg last season. He is joined by 6'4" small
forward Jeff Jacobs, who averaged 13.4
PPgTwo of the other starters are set. 6'4"
John Molsworth is starting at strong forward. He is a transfer form Syracuse. At
point guard is Bruce Fischer, a
sophomore. The other starting position is
up for grabs between 6'3" freshman Pete
Kestner, John Morsey and Brian Welman,
both measuring 6'7".
"If we could win the tournament, that
would be a good indication of how we'll
do," said Albany's Kauppila.
The Great Danes follow up the tournament on Wednesday, Dec 4 in their
SUNYAC opener at Cortland.

Women cagers drop a pair in opening tourney
By Kristlne Sauer
SPORTS EDITOR
The Albany State women's basketball
team's attempt to upgrade its schedule
may come back to haunt them. The Danes
are 0-2 after losing both games in this
weekend's Eastern Connecticut women's
tip-off tournament.
While Albany wasn't able to come out in
the winner's circle over the weekend
against the New England powerhouses, all
wasn't lost as the tournament proved that
they were in the right company.
After losing a close battle to E. Connecticut, 72-68 in the first round, the women
cagers missed walking away with the consolation game by a mere one point as Columbia topped them 70-69.
"We have to look at the positive
things," said Albany head coach Mari
Warner. "We played against two good
clubs. Eastern Connecticut was 5th in New

With fifteen seconds left on the clock
Albany was ahead 69-68 after Lori Bayba
sank two free throws, but Columbia's
Christine Tyer hit with a basket four
seconds later to lift Columbia over Albany
70-69.
Albany called an immediate time out,
went into the game, was able to get a shot
off, but didn't score.
The leading scorer of the game was Columbia's Ellen Bossert with 27 points. For
Albany, Bayba led with 20 points,
shooting 80 percent from the free throw
line. Guard Rainny Lesane followed with
15 points.
Against Eastern Connecticut in the first
round the Danes trailed 38-31 at the end of
the first half. Albany found itself in a
worse predicament as the host team took
an 18 point lead in the final half.

"We had the opportunities, we just

Albany's scoring was well-rounded as
four players registered in the double
figures.
Lesane led with 15 points, sophomore
Cindy Densen followed with 14, then
Bayba and Diane Fernantis with 10 apiece.
High scorer of the game was E. Connecticut's forward Chris Donnell with 17
points.
"The tournament points out real quickly what we need to work on," said
Warner. "The turnover situation is one,
another is creativity in our offense. We're
not shooting nearly enough from the outside and our decisions to take the shots
aren't good."
Warner also said she was proud of the

"Another problem is with the intensity
of play not being considered throughout
the game," said Warner. "As a coach I
have to try to figure out what it is that gets
a team to play when they have to and what
it is that will make them play the entire
game that way."
The Danes went 23-4 last season and
were disappointed when they failed to get
an NCAA bid. That resulted in a beefing
up of their schedule, adding this tournament and a few other tough opponents. In
the long run these two losses could hurt
their dream of an NCAA bid.
"I would much prefer to start off like
this and build up stronger and stronger so
at the end of the season we are where we
should be," concluded Warner adding,
"I'd rather find it out now and have time
to work on it."

long enough to run 18 plays.
Halftime lockerroom tirades by defensive end Murphy, always an emotional
player, and by Dmitrenko, who was acting
out of character, apparently was what the
Danes needed to wake themselves up after
the flat first half.
"Denis was going bananas, throwing
helmets all over the place, just going
nuts," said wide receiver John Donnelly,
who caught two touchdown passes in the
fourth quarter. "We didn't really get
pumped up for this game, and the frustration really built up by halftime."
"I came into the lockerroom a little late,
and I guess Denis Murphy was already
yelling at the guys, and I don't know what
came over me," said Dmitrenko. "I threw
my helmet into a locker, which is uncharacteristic of me; I've never done
anything like that before."
"They were pretty upset," understated
Anderson. "I don't know if it was because
they're seniors, or because we've never
been run on like that before, and maybe
they felt personally responsible."
The two defensive stars' 'speeches'
amplified what was going on through
everyone else's minds though, said Anderson, and his 90 yard kickoff return to start
the second half was the pivotal play behind
the Danes' rally.
When asked if he was looking to score a
touchdown or just put the Danes in decent
field position, Anderson unabashedly admitted, "I was looking for the touchdown.
I wanted to do something that would get us
on the board."
Ford emphasized the importance of the
immediacy with which Anderson's
touchdown was scored.
"His return was the catalyst that
generated some offense and got us on the
scoreboard," said Ford. "And the fact
that it happened so quickly really put us
back in the game."
According to Dmitrenko, the return also
signalled the death knell for Dudek and the
Plymouth State offense as well.
"We've told the offense all year to just
put some points on the board," said
Dmitrenko, whose second half heroics
made him the ECAC co-defensive player
of the week. "That's when the defense stiffens up."
That it did, allowing the offense to get
back on track.

UAS investment monies linked to South Africa
By Ian Clements
STAFF WRITER
While many SUNYA students are still
celebrating the recent divestment victory at
SUNY Central downtown, University
Auxiliary Services (UAS) has been investing funds in companies that do
business in South Africa as part of their
normal budget-balancing and investment
practices.
Through its long-term investments,
UAS owns stock in companies such as Exxon and IBM, which have facilities in
South Africa. UAS places investment
funds in two institutions, the Common
Fund and the Key Trust Management Account, said General Manager E. Norbert
Zahm. Those institutions choose which
companies will be invejted in.
The Common Fund invests its clients'
funds in compar les that operate in South
Africa with some qualifications, said its
president, George Keane.
"We have investments In companies but
we don't know whether or not they have
investments in South Africa," said Alan
Volkenant, a senior vice-president of Key
Trust.
"We are willing to Invest our stock only
in companies that have subscribed to the
Sullivan Principles," Keane said. The
principles are guidelines established for
American businesses to protect the rights
of their South African employees, t b e y
are named after the Philadelphia minister
who established them.
Crilics of the Sullivan Principles have
said that no matter how Integrated blacks
and whites are in the workplace, the laws
of South Africa force segregation outside
the plants' gates.
"We would own stock in Exxon or'
IBM...provided they followed these principles," Keane said.
"If we don't maintain
a high level of
investment we're not
going to maintain a
high level of return."
— E. Norbert Zahm
The Common Fund is a non-profit
organization which pools the investment
funds of-approximately 600 educational
institutions and support service organizations, such as UAS, according to Keane.
The funds are combined so that the
member institutions can gain access to the
kind of top-notch business advice usually
available only to large investors, he
explained.
Keane said a special fund would be
established in January for those institutions which want to invest in "companies
that do.not have employees, offices, or
plants in. South Africa." About 150 major
U.S. corporations will not be eligible for
this "South Africa Free Fund," Including
General Motors, Exxon, Texaco, IBM and
Xerox, said Keane. "It's a very substantial
limitation," he said.
Approximately 200 smaller U.S. companies will also be excluded from the
South Africa Free Fund, Keane said.
Common Fund members have not been
informed of the Free Fund since it has yet
to be officially established, said Keane.
The decision to join the Free Fund lies with
each institution's board of trustees or
board of investors, explained Keane.
According to Volkenant, Key Trust does
not make investment decisions based on
political concerns unless clients request
that certain issues be considered when their
monies are invested.
"Those clients hold very divergent
views; Some might, oppose apartheid or
abortion," VolketuMM said. "WhllelCey
Trust may have strong moral positions on
those issues, we can't very well impose
those moral positions on clients whose
resources we are investing."
If a client asked that its funds not be invested in certain companies, he said, "I'm
sure that any specific requests of that
nature would be honored. Key Trust has to
be accountable to each investor" and en-
sure the "growth of his investment," he
said.
Zahm said he was unaware of Key
Trust's policy. "It's up to them to decide"
where investments are made, he said.
As of June 30, said Zahm, UAS had
provided $273,766 of its long-term investments funds to the Common Fund and
$211,287 to Key Trust.
Long-term investments are made to offset depreciation losses, explained Zahm.
Monies earned through these investments
are used to replace and repair equipment
and facilities owned or managed by UAS,
he said. UAS is responsible for remodelling cafeterias on the quads and in the
Campus Center, he noted.
UAS "really does need the interest
[earned from investments] to exist," Zahm
said. "If we don't maintain a high level of
investment we're not going to maintain a
high level of return."
UAS is a non-profit organization which
is not a part of the State University of New
York and receives no state funding, according to Zahm. UAS supports campus
organizations and events, such as Five
Quad Volunteer Ambulance Service,
Mayfest and Commencement, he said, in
addition to providing campus food and
vending services.
To meet short-term needs, such as
payroll, UAS invests in commercial paper,
Zahm, said.. Commercial paper refers to
short-term notes.issued by business firms
and finance that wish to borrow money.
The amount of money held in commercial paper "goes up and down substantially during the fiscal year," he said. UAS
had $1,100,000 invested in commercial
paper as of June 30, Zahm said.
The commercial paper in which UAS invests is also linked to South Africa, though

Council decides to let Daltrey play Exercise
as important
By Angelina Wang
STAFF WRITER
The upcoming Roger Daltrey concert
was placed in jeopardy for a few minutes
Wednesday night, when Central Council
debated over whether or not to use its
power to freeze the budget of University
Concert Board.
Council's debate, which was never
finally voted on, was a response to UCB
setting its own ticket prices of $17 and $20
, which violates Student Association tax
policy. The policy states there should be a
differential of $5 between prices charged
to SUNYA students and the general public
for any ticket even over $8.
Council member seemed more upset about
the fact they were never informed by SA
Controller Eric Schwartzman, who
should have come before Council to ask
for a waiver for UCB, rather than the actual rule-breaking.
"I didn't feel the necessity of granting a
waiver for a show that wouldn't come
off,"said Schwartzman. The concert
had only been confirmed a little over a
week ago, he said. " It was too late to inform Council then," he added.
The consensus of Council was not to
force the cancellation of the Daltrey concert, which would have cost SA over
$38,000, the $35,000 paid to Daltrey plus
expenses. "The purpose of this bill is not
to not have Daltrey go on. I do want it to

the bill to Council.
Steven Russo, Internal Affairs Chair
said, "This might be the wrong way of doing this. We have a contract with Daltrey,
and
committment with the Palace
Theater."
Colonial Quad representative Jeff Rosen
said, "We're making assumptions here.
Get the facts first. It'll look like we just
want our own way."
Landis accepted a friendly amendment
freezing UCB's budget after all expenses
for Roger Daltrey were paid. The amendment would have allowed the concert to go
on as scheduled.
"There are some valid points being
made here. I side more that we are acting
hastily," said Larry Hartman, Student Action Chair.
Mark Seligson, president of UCB, heard
of the controversy and attended the
meeting to explain his position before
Council . "The show was not confirmed
until last Wednesday. Eric Schwartzman
was called as soon as I knew. I didn't get
any halts. I don't see why Concert Board
should be penalized for this," said
Seligson.
"Mark Seligson and his group have
