SUNYA's escort service, "Don't Walk
Alone," has escorted almost as many people the past few weeks as in the past two
semesters combined, recent figures show.
In Fall 1984 the service escorted 615 people and in Spring 1985 that number fell to
481. But this semester, despite the nondelivery of an already purchased radio
system, about 900 people have taken advantage of the service, said Cheryl Oransoff, the program's director.
"People are becoming much more
aware of the service," added Oransoff.
Oransoff said she feels that the number
of people using the service this semester is
"fantastic" and although she is hoping
that the number of students escorted will
rise to 2,000, she said Don't Walk Alone
will probably reach at least 1,500 students
by the end of the semester. "We're only
operating about four more weeks until
classes end," she stated.
The program has also experienced an
upswing in the number of volunteer
escorts, said Assistant to the Director
Maria Maglione. "This semester we have
150 volunteers and most of the people we
have are really dedicated and enthusiastic
about the program."
"We're already starting to recruit people for next semester," she added.
Junior Dan Farley, who is a captain on
Monday nights said that he loves being an
escort. He also said this is his second year
with the program. "I like getting to know
all my escorts. There's something special
about someone who would give up their
time to make someone else more comfortable," he said.
First year student Susan Karp said she
has used the servicew to walk from Indian
Quad to Colonial Quad because it was late
and she didn't want to walk across the
campus alone. She added, however, that
she does "feel relatively safe on this
campus."
"I saw the advertisements and I figured
that I'd give them a try," she said.
Despite Don't Walk Alone's success this
semester, the radio communications
system that was ordered for this service
still hasn't arrived, according to Maglione.
"I am a little annoyed at this," added
Oransoff, explaining that the system is
currently.in Glens Falls awaiting a crystal
part. "We ordered it through the Educational Communications Center (ECC),"
she said, and because the part needed
wasn't in stock, it had to be ordered from
the manufacturer which primarily caused
the delay.
Maglione said Don't Walk Alone is no
longer planning to use the system in this
semester.

students may have to maintain a " C "
average in the future in order to get
federal financial aid.
The grade requirement is just one
change in the aid system Congress is
now debating as it tries to pass the
Higher Education Reauthorization Act
of 1985.
The grade measure, proposed by
senators Don Nickles (R-OK) and Clairborne Pell (D-RI), has been proposed
unsuccessfully before. But chances for
its passage may be good this time,
sources said, because legislators are
looking for relatively painless ways to
cut the federal budget and because of recent publicity about bad students who
get financial aid.
Currently, students only must be in
god standing and make "satisfactory
academic progress" toward a degree to
receive federal aid.
"Unfortunately," Nickles said during
a hearing earlier this month, "there
have been problems with theis openended definition. He added that
"Because of this open-ended opportunity for abuse, I believe we need to have a
more specific standard."
Nickles originally advanced his ideas
after a 1981 audit found nearly 20 percent of the students who got aid had less
than a " C " average. Ten percent had a
cumulative GPA under 1.5.
Congress also is debating a bill to let
graduate students, who generally face
higher e d u c a t i o n costs t h a n
undergraduates, borrow more federallyguaranteed loan money and pay it back
over a longer period of time.
The reauthorization process, which
effectively sets federal higher education
policies for the ensuing five years, usually triggers a slew of proposals that never
become law. But if federal loan programs are to be changed, the changes
will first emerge during these congressional review sessions.
The grading bill would put aid recipients whose grades fall below 2.0 on
probation for a term. If the student
doesn't improve by the end of the pro
bation period, he or she will be denied
federal aid.
Administrators would be empowered:
however, to extend the probation period
for hardship cases, such as extended
illness.
The new break for graduate students
who want a Guaranteed Student Loan
(GSL) program came up during a House
subcommittee hearing.
Georgetown University law school
dean John Kramer, speaking for a coalition of law school associations, said
graduate students needed the break.
"Over time, middle class students in
particular are just not going to be able
to afford a graduate education,"
Kramer said.
Moreover, unless debt repayment
policies are changed, many graduate
students will feel obligated to take highpaying jobs after they get their degree,
instead of going into teaching or community service work, Kramer said.
Kramer's plan would let graduate
students borrow more than they currently can, and, if they borrow more than
$15,000, repay it over 10 to 20 years.
In part because the plan calls for
graduate students to pay the interest on
the loans beginning with the 10th year
after graduation, Kramer said he
calculated that the changes will save the
government between $200 and $500
million a year.
Students would assume the cost, but
Kramer said he thinks they ultimately
should be making enough to keep the
payments from being too much of a
burden

Dorms almost back to normal after 270 moved
By Linda Greenberg
STAFF WRITER
The majority of students housed in increased occupancy rooms and all of the
students housed temporarily by Residential Life have been moved into normal occupancy living conditions, said Office of
Residential Life Director John Martone.
Approximately 60 students, who applied
for on-campus housing for this semester
were assigned to temporary living quarters
such as dorm lounges.
"Temporary housing is just that we
guarantee to place students into permanent
housing within two days to two weeks. We
were able to take care of eliminating temporary housing within one week," said
Martone.
Increased occupancy housing is not
necessarily temporary, said Martone, adding that students could remain in increased occupancy rooms all semester.
About 210 of the 375 students originally
placed inincreased occupancies have been
moved to normal occupancy rooms. Only
165 people are still left in increased occupancies, said Martone, adding that
"some of these students have been given
the opportunity to move, but have refused
the offer."
Each year the University is faced with
the prospect of housing more students
than it can accomodate, said Martone.
"Acceptance to the university is not based
on housing. The school accepts more people than it could ever possibly house," he
added.
Little can be done to alleviate overcrowding. "The Office of Residential Life
and students alike will have to deal with
the problem of increased occupancy for a
while," said Martone. "It will be some
time before SUNYA will be able to accomodate more students," until new
dorms arc built, he said.
Approximately 50 percent of incoming
frosh have been placed in increased occupancy this year, said Martone.
"Freshman were spread out on all five
quads this year instead of mostly being
concentrated on State and Colonial
Quads. This was a good idea because it has
prevented massive overcrowding on just
one quad," he added.
A memorandum dated September 1,
1985 was distributed to all students assigned to increased occupancy bedrooms.
According to Paul Doyle, associate
director of Residential Life, "This informative material was given out sot hat
everyone had the opportunity to receive
the same information." The purpose was
to educate those students in increased occupancy "about the process of becoming
un-increased," said Doyle.
Also, a September 4 meeting concerning
increased occupancy was announced in the
memorandum to further answer any questions. "It's only natural that students
should have questions and concerns regarding this issue," said Doyle.
Students assigned to increased occupancy are charged lower rates than those in
normal occupancy. On the uptown quads,
housing costs have decreased from $775.00
per semester to $558.50 for those students
seem to be opting to live in dormitories
because of the high transportation costs
and the expense of most off-campus
housing, although administrators have
been reluctant to build new dorms to accomodate students because they anticipated a precipitous enrollment
decline be mid-decade, about the time
they would finish building the new
housing.
But the enrollment predictions
haven't quite panned out. The National
Center for Education Statistics most
recently predicted American college
enrollment this year would stay at about
last year's record level.
Students' access to dorm space, as a
result, depends on how well their particular schools have done in keeping
their enrollments up.
A randon College Press Service
sampling of housingg officers nationwide found dorm overcrowding — in
which students are forced either to live
three or four to a room or must move
temporarily into off campus commercial
space — is more common in Sun Belt
states, where enrollment is steady or increasing, and less common in the rest of
the nation.
However many students do enroll,
though, they still seem to prefer living
on campus. "The tide is still turned
(towards students living on campus),"
said Jim Grimm, past president of the
nationwide association of university
housingofficers and still the University
of Florida's housing chief.
"Students are slowly coming back to
campus," said Grimm, who said he expects the number of students living on
campus to increase between three and
six percent this year.
But Grimm's successor as president of
the Association of College and University Housing Officers (ACUHO) thinks
student demand for on-campus housing
is down marginally this year.
"The smaller and middle-sized
schools in particular have plenty of
vacancies,' said Washington State
incresed from four to five people, five to
six people, or six to seven people in a suite.
On the downtown quad, where two
students have been increased to three in a
room, costs have dropped from $750.00
per semester to $541.50.
According to Doyle, "Alumni students
are charged $25 less overall to compensate
for having to commute to the uptown
campus."
If students choose to remain in an increased occupancy suite, they will not be
charged the higher, normal occupancy rate
until campus wide residence hall occupancy falls below 100 percent, he said.
Q
University housing director Bill
Bierbaum.
Bierbaum said more students are going to school closer to home to cut costs,
and that commuter students don't need
on-campus housing. "People are trying
to cut costs by retrenching," he said.
Colleges consequently are doing the
same thing airlines do when they're not
sure they can fill the space they have got
to sell: they overbook their rooms.
Some 200 University f Miami students
began the year shut out of dorm space
they'd been promised, compared to
some 40 students who found themselves
in the same fix in fall, 1984.
The University of Illinois had to convert 57 dorm lounges into temporary
rooms to house students it couldn't accomodate in regular rooms.
The resultant densities alienate
students and provoke unexpected tensions. A disproportionate number of
black students jammed into dorm triples
at Maryland brought accusations of
housing racism.

Students demand quality teaching
By Bill Jacob
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Although University officials and the Department of Mathematics say that problems concerning
the teaching ability of professor Boguslaw
Tomaszewski in his MAT 361 class have been
reconciled, not all students in the class agree.
Students had been complaining that
Tomaszewski was difficult to understand because
of his Eastern European accent and his failure to
fully explain points made in class.
Nineteen of twenty-four students enrolled in the
class signed a petition several weeks ago asking
Joseph Jenkins, Math department chair, to ensure
that steps would be taken to improve the level of
teaching in the class.
Harry Hamilton, Director of Undergraduate
Studies said last Friday that he spoke to Jenkins
about the situation in the class and was told that
students believe there has been an improvement.
"He (Jenkins) assured me that was the case.
Students seemed satisfied that their concerns were
addressed," he said.
Hamilton said that Jenkins spoke to about ten
students in the class and felt that their concerns
about the way the class is taught had been addressed. He added that Jenkins is "ready to respond to
student complaints," but that complaints should be
specific in nature.
Jenkins would not comment on complaints concerning Tomaszewski. "I don't thnk that it's appropriate to discuss individual cases like this is the
press and so I don't want to go into any details concerning any individual in the faculty," he said.
MAT 361 is the first course Tomaszewski is
teaching at the University, Jenkins said.
Tomaszewski previously taught at the University of
Warsaw in Poland and has since received his doctorate from the University of Wisconsin.
"Often a complaint Is made by students concerning language and that is not really the problem,"
Hamilton said. "Often a whole host of things are
different, but the thing that is most different is the
language, and so the student complains about the
language."
Tomaszewski declined to comment on the problems between himself and the students in his class.
One junior in the class, who is double-majoring
in computer science' and mathematics, said that
Tomasewski's teaching methods have not improved
since the beginning of the semester. "It looks the
same to me. He'll go over certain things and state
exactly how it's statedin the book," she said.
"He does very few problems and doesn't finish
examples," she added. "Everything is straight from
the book."
When asked whether Tomaszewski's accent affects the class, she said that she sympathizes with
him. "I feel sorry for him, he just can't get the
point across-he's so frustrated."
She also said she has to solve many problems
herself because Tomaszewski has told her that he
does not know how to do the problems. "I think
it's too late for anything (to change)," she said.
"I'm accepting the fact that I'm not going to do,,,
well."
Another student in the class agreed that there has
been no improvement since students have begun to
complain to Jenkins. "He (Tomaszewski) hasn't
changed his style of teaching at all," she said.
"He's as bad as he was in the beginning. He doesn't
explain the material," she said.
The student further said that she does not got to
Tomaszewski during his officer hours. "It's useless,
so I don't bother,"she said.
According to Angela Kolczyhski, another student
in Tomaszewski's class, his teaching methods have
improved since Jenkins has been communicating
with him._"Jenkins has been talking to hm about
how American schools are run," she said, adding
that she feels that Tomaszewski has begun to explain theorems and go over more examples from the
textbook.
When asked if Tomaszewski's accent made learning in the class more difficult, Kolczynski said, "it
did at first, but now that I'm used to it and have
been going to his office hours I've been used to his
accent."
"Language isn't much of a problem anymore,"
she added. "We've mostly gotten used to that."
Students must take action if they feel that a professor is not teaching effectively, Hamilton said.
"When a student who is in a class feels very strongly that he or she is not learning the information
because of inabilities on the part of the faculty
member, then the person should talk to the chair of
the department, and as explicitly as possible indicate what he or she thinks is wrong," he said.
"The chair should meet with the faculty member
involved and indicate that a complain has been
made, and try to find out whether the faculty
member might agree that there is a problem,"
Hamilton said. "Sometimes faculty are not aware
that there is a problem," he added.
"The chair's responsibility is to investigate the
complaint....and to follow-up somehow to try to
talk with other students in the class and get back to
the students who originally made the complaint,"
he said.
"If the student who made the original complaint
does not feel that the department-chair effected a
solution to the problem, the students should then
notify me and the dean of the college in which tindepartment is house," Hamilton said.
Students should also attempt to deal with problems involving a professor by actually contacting
the instructor, Jenkins said. "I would hope first
that they would talk to the professor, but if they
don't feet that is an appropriate avenue, they come
see me or come see the director of the
undergraduate program."
Past problems have been solved mostly on a
departmental level, Jenkins said. "When problems

Awareness Day to target
harassment, self-defense
By Pam Conway
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
The array of workshops,
panels and films that spanned
three days last fall has been
split up this year, but the
organizer of Thursday's
Women's Safety Awareness
Day says the change will keep
the campus alerted to women's
safety concerns.
The event, sponsored by the
Presidential < Task Force on
Women's Safety, Student
Association, and University
Auxiliary Services, is "an attempt to make women aware of
issues so they can be responsible for their own safety," according to task force Chair
Lisa Donohue. '
Last year, the issue of
women's safety was addressed
during a two-and-a-half day
series of discussions, presentations and films held In
September, but this year the
format has been changed.
In addition to the activities
to be held on Nov. 7, another
event will be held in the spring.
According to Donahue, "The
task force decided to have one
event in the fall and one in the
spring and spread the event out
in order to keep women more
aware of the issues of women's
safety."
The event will not be kicked
off with an opening ceremony
and keynote address as in
previous years, but will begin at
10 a.m. with a discussion by
Bonnie Carlson, Professor at
the School of Social Welfare,
on the topic '.'Violence in Rela
tionships Among College
Students," in CC 375.
According to Donahue,
Carlson will be addressing toics
such as "date rape" and also
violence in relationships between students of the same sex.
At 11:30, Self Defense Instructor Barbara Palm, Nlack
Belt Karate Instructor Isadorc
Johnson, and Black Belt Judo
Instructor Lix Kirk will present
a demonstration titled, "Self
Defense: Orientations and
Alternatives" at the Campus
Center Assembly Hall.
The demonstration will be
followed by a discussion entitled, "Sexual Harassment in the
Academic Environment," to
be moderated by Dr. Gloria
DeSolc, Assistant to the President for Affirmative Action,
also in CC 375.
At 2:30, Ellen Mindel and
Cathy Jordan from the Rape
Crisis Center, a service of Planned Parenthood of Schenectady, will conduct a discussion
entitled "Rape: Facts and
Myths" and at 4 the Albany

Relief fund raises $4,700
The Mexican Earthquake Relief Fund, sponsored
by Fuerza Latina, has raised over $4,700, according
to Roseherline Ramos, treasurer of the group.
' "Basically, we got $4,100 from UAS people skipping meals for the cause," Ramos said. "We also
raised $400 or so at the table in the Campus Center
and $150 at a party we held at Brubacher on
November 1," she added.
The total of $4,700 fell short of the $5,000 goal,
but Ramos said, "We'll be going door to door
soliciting or we'll leave the amount as is."
The funds raised by Fuerza Latina are going to
the Albany chapter of the American Red Cross for
the Mexican Relief Fund. If anyone would like to
donate, contact the Fuerza Latina office in CC 345.

Women in science address
Patrocinio P. Schweickart will deliver the
keynote address at SUNYA's second Presidential
Conference on Women, to be held Saturday,
November 9.
Beginning at 2 p.m., Schweickart will speak on
the integration of women's "values" into science.
"Earlier the focus was on rights, on the right of
women to be scientists and to have their contributions recognized," she explained. "But now we're
looking at the values that are fostered by women's
experience beyond the notion of victimization," she
said.

According to Bonnie B. Spanier, Director of
SUNYA's Women's Studies Program and one of
tha conference's organizers, "The purpose of the
conference is to help demonstrate the connection
between opportunities for women and the ways
science and technology affect the lives of women
and other excluded groups like minorities and the
working class."
Jttle sisters weaken f rats
(Intercollegiate Press Service) A resolution from
the Fraternity Executives Association in Nashville,
Tennessee regarding "little sister" groups has been
distributed to all Vanderbilt University fraternity
and sorority presidents. The national organization
believes that the groups have a negative effect on
the Greek system.
Sandy Stahl, associate director of sororities and
fraternities, supported the resolution because the
groups are "socially limiting and misleading." She
said she feels that there are rare instances in which
the function had a positive influence on the fraternity chapters.
The resolution stated that the little sister groups
"are not desirable adjuncts" to the college fraternity system and that they "inhibit the accomplishment of chapt-r goals."
It further stated that the groups "divert resources
of time, effort, and money" and that they "weaken
the bonds of brotherhood" while serving to
"undermine the entire Greek system."
On education y educacion
Bilingual education was the topic of the International Tea held Sunday afternoon by the International Committee of the SUNY Women's Group.
The group discussed the importance of beginning a
second language as early as the level of
kindergarten.
Rczain Adams, Democratic Albany County committeewoman, also talked about the politics of the
upcoming Albany elections. Difficulties that
students have had concerning increasing rents and
greedy landlords were touched upon in the
discussion.
The International Committee meets every first
Sunday of each month to discuss issues faced by
minority groups.

The University and the New York State
Department of Health have combined
their resources to create a new graduate
school of Public Health Sciences at
SUNYA, according to the schools new
dean, David Carpenter.
The new school received approval from
the Governor's office in June and by
September 1986 over twenty classes will be
offered.
Two students are already enrolled in the
program, which will offer both masters
and doctoral degrees in Environmental
Health and Toxicology, and it is expected
that over thirty students will be enrolling
next semester.
Carpenter said he hopes the program
will expand with new courses in biology
statistics, epidemiology, social medicine
and public health administration. He added that he had received over three hundred
requests for applications.
What makes the program unique, said
Carpenter, is that very few additional
resources were required to set it up. Most
of the faculty are employed by the State
Department of Health and already have
their salaries paid by that department, said
Carpenter.
According to Carpenter, the faculty is
derived from the "enthusiastic and highly
qualified" staffs of the Department of
Health, The Albany Medical College, The
Veterans Administration Medical Center
and University science faculty. Carpenter
said he believes that the solid reputation of
the new program has already been
established because of the excellent reputation of the faculty. SUNYA now joins Columbia University as the only school in the
state that offers graduate studies in public
health science, he added.
The new school will serve the interests of
both SUNYA and the Department of
Health, said Carpenter. The school will
benefit from the program because it will
attract more students and the Department
of Health will benefit b y training a pool of
potential scientists and lab technicians.
Carpenter stressed that participants in
the program will gain real experience by
researching at the Department of Health
and added that there is an abundance of
jobs in the field.
DThe new school has been discussed for
years but it wasn't until Carpenter arrived
in Albany In 1980. That discussion turned
to action, he said. Carpenter, with the
assistance of Warren Uchman, Provost of
the Rockefeller College of Public and
Policy, organized the school and presented
it to the Governor for approval,

Otis loses elevator contractsforuptown quads
By Jim Thompson
STAFF WRITER
Residents of uptown quads will
be going up and down with a new
elevator company as the university changed from the Otis to Irwin
companies in their annual service
contract renewal.
Four different contractors
entered bids for the servicing and
maintenance of the elevators on
the quads. "Irwin elevators had
the lowest bid and therefore
received the annual contract,"
said Plant Superintendent Donald
von Linden. Irwin replaces Otis
elevators, which had previously
held the contract.
"The contract," said von
Linden, "includes emergency
repairs, m a i n t e n a n c e , and
cosmetic pkeep - which means the
replacing of floor tiles and
general appearance of the
elevators."
Although Irwin has been
awarded the contract, not all the
elevators on campus have been included. Elevators not in the
dorms will be services by Bay
State because they, are a different
style and type, said von Linden.
Dutch Quad, which is the
oldest quad on campus, has the
original elevators that were installed in 1964.
He stated, "In the future we
plan some anticipated improvements. We have just concluded a survey of all the
elevators on. campus and we will
determine what renovations are
needed." He said, ,"I feel the
elevators are in good condition
and are working at their best."
Von Linden noted that vandalism accounts for much of the
repair work undertaken each
year. He said, "there is a certain
amount of vandalism and that's
why we are considering these improvements. I feel the students
would treat the elevators better if
they were in better condition."
"The contract includes emergency
repairs, maintenance and cosmetic
upkeep.
— Donald
"An extremely rough estimate
of how much repair is due to vand a l i s m w o u l d be in the
neighborhood of 50 percent, he
said.
The figure only pertains to the
elevators in the dorms, however.
::The actual damage ranges from
kicked in panels to burned buttons," said von Linden. "We
would like to reduce this figure
and this year has shown a noticed
decline even though it is relatively
early in the school year. It is a
welcomed improvement."
von
Linden
Students generally do not seem
satisfied with the elevators and
their maintenance. Robin Cohen,
a first year student who lives on
the 10th floor of Dutch Tower
stated "I don't even use the
elevators in the morning because I
don't have time to wait. I don't
think three elevators are sufficient
to begin with and when one
breaks down, it makes the problem even worse."
Steve Mesulam, another resident of Dutch Quad said, "The
elevators are definitely not work-
ing at their best. They (elevators)
sometimes cause me to be late for
class and that's why I don't use
them when I'm in a hurry."
Stuyvesant tower resident Beth
Shevell added, "They could be
working better than they are now.
It is so aggravating. I use them all
the time and I sometimes have to
wait for 15 minutes."
When asked if she thought
renovations might decrease vandalism, she said, "it might, but
you can't be sure. Some students
would abuse the elevators no matter what they looked like."
When an elevator breaks down,
the power plant is notified, which
in turn contacts Irwin Elevators.
A repairman is dispatched who
reports back on arrival and
complation."
Von Linden said, "So far this
service has been fine, but I will be
keeping a close watch to determine whether the work is satisfactory."

WCDB—A
student station?
To the Editor:
I find it very annoying that Burt Sorenson's lecture is
still stirring in the minds of people, but I can live with
this. However, what I cannot live with is the selfrighteous, narrow-minded and discrimatory attitude that
certain "good Christians" hold towards people who
don't subscribe to their faith.
Let us remember, first and foremost, that before we
quote the Bible, we must remember not to quote out of
context as Mr. Dale and Mr. Hazelton have done so artistically. They have made a weak intellectual argument
sound strong.
If I am to be condemned to Hell, God will condemn
me, not a man or a book written by men. The Bible is
open to many interpretations and what man dares to set
himself up as an authority. Mr. Hazelton and Mr. Dale
have appointed themselves as authorities. I do not think
that my fate has anything to do with their judgemental
interpretations.
I hope that everyone will read the Bible, both the Old
Testament and New Testament, with an open mind. Do
not commit the same error of self-righteous, narrowminded interpreting as Mr. Dale and Mr. Hazelton have.
We should read and interpret the Bible with both our
hearts and our minds and no one should be shut out.
— Steven Pelst
WCDB, 91FM, our campus radio station, is running a listeners' poll of the top
91 rock hits of all time. Take note — this
is a listeners' poll, not a student poll.
The distinction being made is an important one. The students are the people who
pay the station's bills, more than $40,000
annually. The listeners are the people the
station serves. That is, the estimated 10
percent students and 90 percent community members who tune into WCDB regularly. These are the people that WCDB wants
to survey.
The station wants it to be strictly a
listeners' survey. As one station member
put it, "Most of our listeners are off campus and a heavy student vote would dilute
our program." In order to prevent this
from occurring, WCDB is conducting its
poll far away from the campus music
scene. Out of eight polling places, the only
one the station has situated on campus is
tucked away in the record co-op. The rest
are located at various record stores, clubs,
and bars in downtown Albany.
For the students, the majority of whom
are not regular listeners, WCDB encourages them to listen to the countdown
itself. The station's plan is that the countdown will introduce students to the music
WCDB's listeners enjoy. Hopefully,
they'll like it enough to tune in again. j
This is an insult to the students who
fund the station. If WCDB is really seeking to increase its student listenership,
which, as a student funded station it probably should, students should have been
encouraged to participate. AH the students
— not just 10 percent of them.
WCDB is making an unfair assumption
that the survey alone will attract new
listeners. If the majority of the student
population wasn't surveyed, they
shouldn't be expected to show their interest in a station that has little interest in
them.
This does not mean that WCDB should
cater to the Top-40 tastes of SUNYA
students; a campus radio station should
provide an alternative to the sugarcoated
music that fills the commercial airwaves.
But that doesn't give the station the right
to totally turn its back on those who make
the station's existence possible.
WCDB will also be conducting record
giveaways during the countdown, hoping
that it will drum up their listenership. So
while the station won't lower itself to accept the musical opinions of the students,
it will resort to a commercial gimmick to
boost their ratings.
WCDB should be complimented for
backing their loyal listeners in downtown
Albany; gearing the survey to their hardcore fans serves notice as to which segment of Albany the station values. That's
perfect for a station that serves the community, but WCDB's community is
SUNY Albany.
The survey could be viewed as a community service — a $40,000 community
service that doesn't serve its own
community.

A Struggle to Survive
Remember the Holocaust, that period prior to and during World War II in which there was an enormous effort
made to do away with the Jews and other minorities?
Remember how it ended? Of course not, because it never
really ended. Even to this day, there are attempts being
made to extinguish certain minorities. Most of these attempts are coming from Russia, and they are mainly
geared toward the Jews. The only difference between the
form of discrimination today and that of 40 years ago is
that, during World War II, the Nazis wanted the Jews to
become physically extinct. Today, Russia wishes to make
them emotionally extinct by suppressing their religious
practices, cultural teachings, and anything else that could
relate to their heritage. In effect, life as a Soviet Jew is
unbearable. And should anyone wish to emigrate,
especially to Israel, life can become an absolute hell.
must submit several documents to the government, one of
which is a death certificate, and wait for them to be approved. This wait, which is often deliberately extended by
the Soviets, could last for 6 to 9 months. When it is finally
over, the potential emigrant will either be given approval,
be rejected, or be told that he did not submit his
documents properly and will have to begin the process all
over again. In the meantime, he has probably been fired
from his job, and his family and friends have been encouraged (or threatened) to either dissuade him from
emigrating or to break any ties they have with him. In effect, this Jew is now considered an outcast.
There are very few Jews who are granted permission to
leave, especially to go to Israel. The vast majority of applicants who are refused visas (now called "refuseniks")
are not only left jobless, without family or friends, but
they are now subject to many forms of harrassment by
the police. A refusenik's mail will be searched, and any
items sent from abroad will be confiscated, the police will

To the Editor:
The ASP should stop printing anti-Jewish articles
designed to attract attention. A single article could be
considered a mishap or just bad reporting. Yet, there has
been a trend of these articles. First, the ASP quoted out
of context that Jews are doomed to Hell. Then, the editor
attacked the wording of a single RZA handout, even
though she agreed with its basic premise (that terrorists
such as Arafat, Kaddafi, Amin and Khomeni should be
denounced). The editor used this handout merely as an
excuse to pile negative adjectives in front to the "RZA"

name and to accuse it of McCarthyism and other
unAmerican acts.
A cartoon on the same page was in bad taste by showing Arab terrorism and Jewish retaliation to be as similar
as "the chicken and the egg." However, it did in fact attract much attention from angry Jews on campus. Ms.
Editor, terrorists aim at innocent civilians, retatiators aim
at military targets. They are not the same. To answer the
question "which came first" — terrorists murdered 3 innocent Israeli civilians on a yacht in Cyprus before
Israelis destroyed the PLO military HQ in Tunis. Of
course, when terrorists killed an innocent American cripple aboard the Achillc Lauro, no one denied America the
right of retaliation. Can the ASP justify this double standard against Israel?
If the ASP is to be taken seriously (seriously enough to
endorse candidates and referenda), then it must be fair to
all minorities on campus, not just its favorites. If the ASP
wants interesting stories, then publish an article on one of
the many newsworthy Jewish activities on campus (like a
speech from an Israeli delegate to the UN). The ASP
doesn't need to retort to yellow journalism.

Woman's place
To the Editor:
"My wife, I'll think I'll keep her." How many of us
remember that famous commerical, in which the husband
objectifies his wife so that the American public would be
convinced of buying Gcritol vitamins. His point was that
his wife was a good possession because she used Geritol,
which made her strong and healthy enough to cook, clean
and make sure he didn't have ring around the collar.
This commercial and thousands like it all serve the purpose of perpetrating sexism within our society. After
reading this, many may be thinking, "Oh come on, it's
only a commercial." Yet if we stop to think, it is only
natural that living in the consumer oriented society that
we do, these adverisements, given their importance to our
patterns of consumption, have a profound impact on the
way society defines women and their roles.
Furthmore, considering how much sex and violence is
used to sell a whole range of products from toothpaste to
sparkplugs, it is no wonder that 1 out of every 3 women
will be raped in their lifetime. Moreover, if we look at the
frequent use of children as sex objects in commercials, we
may begin to understand why so many children are victims of child molesters.
Sex and violence are not the only problems within our
media. The encouraged role of women as housewives and
the lack of attention paid to women in careers adds to the
common stereotype that "the women's place is in the
home." If the woman is seen as a career woman, she must
be able to "bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and
never, never let him forget he's a man."
In addition, the discouragement of maturity in women,
and the encouragement of competition between them,
also may add to women perpetrating and assisting in their
own degradation.
Whether you agree with the assertion that the media is
one major source of sexism in our society or not, I urge
you to attend "The Naked Truth," an illustrated lecture
by Jean Kilbourne, on Monday, November 11th at 7:30
p.m., in the Campus Center Ballroom. Tickets are $2 and
they go on sale at 7:00 p.m. on Monday night. This event
will raise these issues and others and hopefully open up
discussion of the role of women in the media and how it
relates to sexism.

Survival swindle
To the Editor:
This letter is in response to Jim Thompson's article
about the Survival Game tournament held in Pittsfield,
Massachusetts. "Survival Game reps organize to lure college players nationwide" certainly was an appropriate title. You see, all of us were misinformed.
First of all, the fourteen dollars did not include the bus
trip to Pittsfield. That was three dollars extra. Secondly,
the advertising flyer announced "barbeque," which turned out to be poor quality hamburger and hot dogs fried
on an indoor restaurant grill. This is. no barbeque. These
refreshments were supposed to be available "at cost," as
told to a member of our team at the planning meeting
How come Waist Watcher soda is 4/88 cents in the supermarket and 50 cents a can at the game? Off-brand soda is
not beer. No beer was sold to students at any time or even
made available to us.
We had a fantastic time playing survival. Our team
made it to the finals. Everyone was excited to return next
weekend. Then, we found out we would have to pay an
additional ten dollars each. Why? Two hundred dollars
per team is a lot of money. We also would have to pay
three more dollars each for the bus. We would be forced
to eat that "barbeque" again and pay for it. In addition
to these costs, extra rounds of ammunition would have to
be purchased for $2.50 each. The game ends up costing
outrageous amounts of money as most use 3 rounds of
ammo.
We never were told there would be an additional fee for
the finals. Most tournaments have one fee. The winners
continue; the losers drop out. Why then do we have to
pay ten more dollars? Someone is making big money off
this deal. We cannot play in the finals unless our team
gives the investors two hundred dollars. This is totally
unfair.
..
So let all of Albany State be aware of the real facts of
the survival game: It is very expensive, it hurts a lot when
the pellet hits you (bad bruises and cuts were received by
many players). Much stress is experienced during the
game. There are lots of hidden fees that you are not being
told about. There is no barbeque. The food and soda are
not available at cost. There is no beer available. The game
is a lot of fun and we really had a great time. It is unfortunate that false advertising and misinformation had to
spoil it for us.

Keep quad clean
To the Editor:
We are a group of concerned students, who are
residents of Mohawk Tower on Indian Quad. We are
disgusted with the sight and smell of the elevators every
Sunday morning.
Everyone likes to have fun on the weekends, but having
a party in the elevators is too much! Every Sunday it is the
same thing: soda cans, beer, pizza boxes and other
undesirable odors — we think you know what we mean.
However, nothing was worse that this weekend — there
were thousands of feathers thrown into the elevator. For
those of us with allergies it was a ride into Hell!
Please, please, let's try to keep the elevators a little
cleaner on the weekends . . . and to those responsible for
the feathers — our allergist thanks you, but we certainly
don't.

"I don't think this is a feasible policy
at all," said Abelow. "We believe-that
bulk containers should be allowed,"
said Abelow, adding that "Student
Association feels the policy is a violation
of the rights of students who are 21
years of age or older and living on
campus."
i Phil Botwinick, who also served on
the "Implementation of 21" Committee
said that "as long as the alcohol bulk
containers are legally purchased, the
University should have no say in who is
involved in the consumption of it."
"The administration should keep in
mind the difference between the 21 purchase age and the consumption age.
This is an important factor in any decision they make about the bulk container
policy," said Botwinick.
"The University should not extend
their policy beyond the limits of the
law," he added.
"While this may seem like a step
towards a dry campus, we will never
have a dry campus," said Steve Gawley,
SA P r e s i d e n t . " T h a t ' s an
impossibility."
"We have to be serious about this,"
said Pogue. "We have a law that the
governor has signed into action; a law
which states that persons under the age
of 21 are not to be sold, given or to participate in any way ihHthe consumption
of alcohol."
"According to the way the Residence
license is written," said Gawley, "it is
within the rights of the university to formulate a policy such as this."
"No student is being denied the right
to have alcohol in their suite or rooms,"
stated Pogue. "We're simply trying to
remove t h e t e m p t a t i o n to
overconsume."
"A ban on bulk containers is clearly
an infringement of students rights,"
said Botwinick. "A student's room on
campus is his or her home, and an individual shouldn't have his private life
regulated if it is not disruptive to those
around him," he added.
"In this case, the relationship between the university and students is a
landlord-tenant relationship," said
Gawley. "We are certainly fighting to
keep bulk containers," he said.
"Approved parties in approved areas
will continue," said Pogue. "We're
simply trying to keep a limit o the
amount of alcohol consumed in rooms
and suited," he added.
Nancy Perrotta, a 21-year-old Indian
Quad resident, said she is opposed to the
prposed ban. "I don't feel that the
University is an entity in itself that can
impose such regulations," she said.

Washington, D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — The
Education Department's attempts
to reduce the number of mistalces
in Guaranteed Student Loan
(OSL) awards aren't making
much headway, authors of a
recently released federal audit
say.
Oeneral Accounting Office
(OAO) auditors said the error rate
in the OSL program is probably
about as high today as during the
1982-83 school year, when about
13 percent of GSL funds went to
students who didn't qualify for as
much loan money as they
received.
' At the time, the shocked
Reagan Administration vowed to
stop giving out too much money
in the program, installing an
elaborate new checking procedure. But the new procedure
isn't working, the GAO said in its
report.
The GAO found the procedure
had saved about $22 million, but
has cost about $23 million.
The process of checking for errors, moreover, has itself delayed
making awards to about a third of
the students receiving GSL loans,
the auditors said. The delays, in
turn, forced thousands of
students to borrow funds from
other sources, or reduce class
loads, the auditors added.
Some congressmen said the
stubbornly high error rate-and
increasing concern over what is
widely viewed as the high rate at
which college graduates default
on theit fedei ally-guaranteed
loans-make it hard to push bills
to raise loan limits through
Congress.
In t h e i r r e p o r t , dated
' September 27, the GAO auditors
said the government could cut the
error rate faster by training campus financial aid officers better.
In response to the study,
Education Department officials
said they already have been implementing many of the GAO's
suggestions.
The GAO auditors said the
department still hasn't done
enough.
The audit was performed at the
request of Sen. Paul Simon (DIllinois), who asked the GAO to
study the department's efforts to
validate the accuracy' of GSL
awards made by college officials.
Education department officials
were at the time reviewing about
two-thirds of all GSL.^wards.
They found that, during the
1982-83 year, about 61 percent of
all GSL awards were correct by $2
or more, 40 percent were off by at
least $100.
The 61 percent error rate is a
decline from 71 percent in
1980-81, but, according to one
department official, is still
"Substantial."
AU told, students improperly
were receiving about $319 million
in loans, about 13 percent .of the
total loan funds available.
"It is amazing to me we have a
$300 million-plus error when we
are sitting around trying to figure
out where we are going to get
more money for the program,"
Rep. Thomas Coleman (RMisspuri) said in June when the
preliminary results of the GAO
audit were released.
GAO auditors said department
officials are skilled at Identifying
errors, but not at determining
what causes them;
^jThe^iotecHh^ieDartmentof-
the auditors said.
The GAO audit comes at a time
when many students, unable to
secure grants or scholarships, are
more reliant on federallyauarantee^oans^^^^^^^^n
Foreign student enrollment in U.S. falls
due to climb in value of American dollar
New York, N.Y.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — A dramatic decline
in the number of Iranian students and the high
value of the American dollar slowed the increase
in foreign student enrollment on U.S. campuses
last year, a new census by the Institute for International Education (HE) said.
"It's basically money. With the value of the
dollar, the U.S. is about as expensive as
anywhere," said John Reichard of the National
Association of Foreign Student Affairs in
Whashington, D.C. "In view of the cost, it's
amazing there has not been a drop."
Some state schools — such as the Texas
system, long a leader in recruiting foreign
students — have raised their out of state tuition
rate, making them less attractive to foreign
students.
Nevertheless, 342,113 foreign students enrolled
in American colleges in 1984-85, less than a one
percent increase from the previous year, the HE's
Mary L. Taylor said.
During the foreign student boom of the seventies, annual increases reached 10 percent a year.
More than 50,000 students from Iran were studying in the United States during 1980.
As of 1984-85, only 16,640 Iranians were
enrolled U.S. colleges, the institute found.
While the oil glut has slowed the flow of
foreign students from other OPEC countries,
too, the HE found a continuing increase of
students from South and East Asia.

to the United States. There were 22,590
Taiwanese in U.S. schools last year, slightly more
than the number of students from Malaysia.
Data show Asian students, who traditionally
have made up the largest portion of foreign
students in the United States, have replaced Middle Eastern students as the fastest growing group
as-well.
"The continued growth of Pacific Rim
students is due to the strong economy there, and
there is a lot of government support in those
countries for sending students abroad,"
Reichard explained.
Foreign students tended to take engineering
programs most often, followed by business and
management, mathematics, computer sciences,
and physical and life sciences, the institute said.
Many of them, moreover, are graduate
students. In fact, one of every three students attending U.S. grad schools is foreign-born,
Reichard noted. Grad schools have become so
dependent on foreign student they can't afford to
give up their aggressive recruiting efforts
overseas, he added.
Some American universities are even planning
to set up foreign extension branches to help them
woo students abroad. But those efforts couldn't
overcome the economic factors slowing the rate
of foreign student enrollment here.
Reichard speculated about 80,000 to 85,000
foreign students are studying in colleges in the
Soviet Union, less than a fourth the number in
the U.S.

Fear of AIDS sparks antagonism toward gays
Fayetteville, Arizona
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Soon after &
psychologist Wsited the University of
Arkansas campus last Spring to urge that
gays be quarantined to stop the spread of
AIDS, Gay Pride Week in Fayetteville
became an unusually traumatic episode.
Members of gay and lesbian groups were
verbally assaulted in letters and newspaper
advertisements, and threatened with a
makeshift bomb that fizzled before its
makers could detonate it properly.
"It made us nervous because they were
so loud and so adamant, "said Linda
Lovell, an officer of the university's gay
and lesbian group. "There's no question
AIDS is being used as an excuse to mask
hatred of gays," she said.
While campuses never have been very
friendly to gay groups-heterosexual
students, administrators and even state
legislators in Oklahoma, Texas,
Washington, D.C., Maryland and other
places regularly have tried to ban or hobble the groups-college medical officials
said intensified anti-gay activity is likely to
be one of the first signs AIDS hysteria has
spread to campuses.
It could get worse, if AIDS (aquired immune deficiency syndrome) becomes
widespread in the heterosexual community. Most health officials noted that,
statistically, every college campus in the
United States soon can expect to have at
least one student, teacher or administrator
with AIDS.
And many said that without preventive
measures, it's only a matter of time until
the hysteria now swirling around primary
and secondary schools precedes the disease
to colleges.
A number of national higher education
groups already are trying to fashion
guidelines for coping with the disease and
the fears surrounding it.
"It's going to depend on the extent of
the educational efforts made by institu-
tions," said Dr. Richard Keeling of the
University of Virginia medical center,
chair of an AIDS task force established by
the American College Health Association.
"If college officials take a narrow
perspective and make little in the way of an
educational effort, rumors and discontent
will fester," Keeling warned, "and colleges will get swept along in the same AIDS
hysteria that affects other segments of
society."
Experts fear a massive disruption of college life: students fleeing dorms, teachers
insisting their offices be moved far from
colleagues with the disease, students refusing to take classes taught by AIDS victims.
Keeling said in the dozen or so cases in
which administrators have had to deal with
AIDS victims, they have responded
correctly.
But Lovell thinks Arkansas officials
were part of the problem.
"Our administration does not feel any
ethical or moral need to provide information on AIDS or to make public comment
when others spread false information,"
she complained. "They let a speaker who
calls for the quarantine of gays come to
campus, and they don't say a word about
it."
Dr. Robert Wirag, director of the
university's health center, said his staff
was prepared to respond to inquiries about
AIDS. But he said it would have been a
mistake to make an unsolicited public
presentation at the time. "If we had, we
would have poured more fuel on that
emotionally-charged fire," he said.
Lovell, however, noted the uproar
dissipated after state health officials held a
press conference in Fayetteville and branded the anti-gay rhetoric false and irresponsible. "That took a lot of the arguments
away from the anti-gay crowd," Lovell
said.
AIDS fears apparently also.prompted
onlookers at a University of Texas parade
last spring to verbally assault and pelt gay
marchers with beer bottles, rocks and
garbage. >
"The violence was justified," a liberal
arts major subsequently wrote to the UT
student newspaper. "At least greeks give
aid to the community instead of AIDS."
But Keeling said he hopes college officials can repeat their recent success in
calming fears about herpes. "At one
time," he said, "people thought herpes
was the end of the world."
"But if it appears that (AIDS) is seeping
into the heterosexual population, then
we're going to see some real problems on
college campuses," predicted Dr. Kevin
Patrick, director of the student health
center at San Diego State.
Additionally, students living in close
dorm quarters may be more frightened of
catching the disease..
Decisions about letting AIDS victims
live in dorms should be made on a case-bycase basis, members of the task force Keeling heads said in a preliminary statement
issued last month.
There's no need to isolate afflicted
teachers, either. There is no medical
reason to keep professors with AIDS from
teaching classes, San Diego State's Patrick
said.
Keeling declined to identify schools
where officials learned they had students,
faculty or staff who either had or had been
exposed to the AIDS virus. Between, five
and 20 percent of those who test positive
for the virus later develop the disease.
But a University of Colorado student
was diagnosed as having AIDS several
years ago. The victim soon thereafter was
unable to attend class, and died some 20 to
22 months later. .

are presented to me about a cgurse, I speak
with the students and I speak with the professor involved and in the past I have
found that we have always been able to
come to some optimal arrangement," he
said.
Jenkins said that if students are not
satisfied with the results obtained at a
departmental level, they sould then contact
Hamilton.
According to Hamilton, two complaints
have been brought to his attention this
semester. "I have received on complaint
about the math department and I have
received one complaint about the exam
fiasco about FIN 300 and those are the only two academic complaints I have received
this semester," he said. Hamilton added
that his office usually receives two or three
academic complaints per semester.
The university administration can quickly become involved in a complaint initiated
by a student, Hamilton said. "It gets up
quite fast," he said. "It goes from the
chairman to about as high as it can go and
if it determined that it is a really serious
problem and maybe the chair recognizes
that it is a serious problem, it is certainly
possible to reassign a faculty member in
the middle of. the semester if there is just
an intolerable situation."
Many complaints result from students
who do not actively listen to a professor's
lecture, Hamilton said. "When I lecture, I
say to students, 'For goodness sakes, if
you don't understand something, raise
your hand and ask because you probably
aren't the only one that isn't understanding,' but everyone sits back and thinks
they are the only one," he said.
The administration responds to all complaints, regardless of the magnitude of the
particular situation, Hamilton said. "If
there's only one student complaining in the
course, I can't assume that's the only student that's'dissatisfied so you have to respond to everything,"he said.

Survival Game: a different type of adventure
By Marc Paseltimer
It was a cold, blustery morning
as I stepped out of the car. I had
arrived at my destination of Pittsfield, Mass. to take part in a new
kind of adventure. Today was the
day I was to try my luck at the
survival game.
Receiving
ammunition, a
gun, and a pair
of goggles was
my first order
of business.
After getting outfitted, I was asked to sign a waiver declaring the
organizers of this event unaccountable for any injury incurred
during the game. What was I getting myself into?
It was now time to head out to
the firing range to learn how to
shoot my paint-hurling pistol.
The guide showed me the proper
way to shoot the gun and how to
load and unload the paint capsules which served as ammunition. These paint-filled capsules
would explode on impact, leaving
a mark wherever they landed.
My gun was now loaded and it
was time to test it out to ensure
that it was functioning properly.
It was also time to see if I could
shoot with at least a slight bit of
accuracy. My first two practice
shots were rather wild, but my
third one found its target. I was
beginning to feel ready for battle.
Three teams would be competing today. The team I was on
would be in the first game of the
day. A feeling of nervous excitement entered my body as game
time drew closer.
After the judges explained the
rules of the game to all the teams,
it was time to get down to
business. The judges led us and
the other team out to the playing
area, which consisted primarily of
a leafless forest situated along a

was told to defend at the bottom
of the hill, while the opposing
team was instructed to start at the
top of the hill.

to our home base, I couldn't help
but wonder what I might encounter. Would I kill or be killed?

16 seconds to bring Hofstra to

Squeri hit Palermo for 26 yards
and then found Moore for the remaining seven to bring the score

That's when Soldini appeared

But the door opened up again
when Squeri engineered the
62-yard drive that put the Dutchmen on Albany's three-yard
line, before Anderson started his
one-man show.
His Interception brought the
ball out to the 20, but Albany was
forced to punt from their own 29,
or so thought the Dutchmen.
The snap went short to Anderson, who found Mike Rieger for
16 yards and a first down, giving
SOt-
trigger and gun down my enemy?
The answers lay only a few
minutes away.
We arrived at our home base
where I surveyed the terrain that
would hold my fate. It being late
fall, most of the trees were devoid
of the foliage so that the area was
comprised of a gray forest with a
brown floor of dry leaves.
Numerous twigs, branches, and
tree stumps also made up the
woody landscape.
The team I was playing for was
divided into three units. Two of
the units would try to capture the
opponent's flag, while the third
would stay back and defend our
own flag. For the first game, I
would be on the offensive.
I, along with several of my
teammates, moved up the left
flank. Keeping our heads down
while manuevering through the
underbrush, we took our positions midway up the hill. It wasn't
a minute before I heard the pop
of a gun go off. An opposing
player was about IS feet ahead of
us. We exchanged shots and
within a few minutes we had
disposed of him. A fine-placed
shot by one of my teammates had
done away with the enemy.
After this slight altercation, my
colleagues moved onward
towards the opposition's flag
while I maintained my position. It
was not long before my adversaries made themselves known.
There were two of them.
I sat in a ditch behind a tree exchanging fire with my opponents.
I was about to let off another shot
when I discovered my gun was
empty. No problem, I thought, as
I reached into my pocket to
reload with another round of
ammunition.
There was a problem, however,
for with all my running around, I
must have lost my ammunition.
Here 1 was, a sitting duck for my
opposition, but I couldn't let on
that I was devoid of firepower.
I held my ground and bluffed
my opponents into thinking my
gun was still loaded, even though
I was just shooting an empty gun.
I did this for about five minutes,
but I knew my luck wouldn't hold
out forever.
I decided to retreat back about
ten feet where I noticed a teammate was just to the right of me. I
told him I was out of ammo and
%&•
suggested a retreat back to our
home base. The enemy was advancing and we made a run for it.
I pulled out first and my teammate followed.
We ran helter-skelter through
the forest, trying hard to avoid
the many trees and branches in
our path. The retreat was a success and we soon learned that we
had captured their flag.
For our second game, I was to
play defense. I wanted to stay
close to our flag without making
my presence known, so I asked
my teammate to cover me with
leaves from head IP toe. I soon
became part of the natural
landscape.
While lying under all those
leaves, I could hear fighting going
on in the distance. This lasted for
around ten minutes, then silence
prevailed. The silence was soon
broken when I heard someone
coming up the hill. It was one of
my teammates and he had the opponent's flag. Game two was
ours, and high-fives were exchanged between all the team
members.
Our third game had us defending the hilltop once again. I was
on offense, and immediately I set
off down the left side with a
fellow teammate.
We moved down quickly, and
we were soon confronted by five
enemy players. I was situated
behind two narrow trees which
provided me with little cover. A
shot was fired at me and missed
my head by just a few inches.
It was now my turn to let off a
shot. I saw an opposing player
standing up about 25 feet away
and I let one go. The paint filled
capsule sailed through the air and
found its mark. I had killed an
enemy player. I retreated back to
my home base and within ten
minutes, their flag was in our
hands. We had won all three of
our games.
After our final victory, it was
time to reflect on the adventures
we encountered during the day.
Stories of each person's experiences were exchanged with
one another as the day drew to a
close.
I walked back to the car with a
feeling of great satisfaction for it
had been quite an experience. My
day of adventure was over. I had
survived.

Ruggers take tourney, then bow to Albany Law
By Cathy Errlg
STAFF WRITER
The scrums, hookers, and backs of the
Albany State rugby club are now in
hibernation.
Fall's elegant violence was culminated
with a narrow 6-3 loss to the ruggers of
Albany Law and the winning of the Utica
Club Plattsburgh State Classic the
weekend before. The club finished the fall
season with an overall record of 4-4.
"Things went very well for us in the
tournament," said president Pat Corrigan.
"We had good ball control and we won a
lot of the scrum-downs."
The Dane ruggers opened the tournament with an overpowering 20-0 win over
St. Lawrence.
"St. Lawrence wasn't good enough to
play the kind of game they tried to play,"
said Corrigan. "They' didn't play aggressively, and they had some guy running
around the field advising everyone, but no
one on their team even knew what he was
talking about."
The Danes wasted no time in getting on
the scoreboard, with Tim Walsh scoring a
try only one minute into the first half.
"We scored on the opening play," said
Corrigan. "I'd never seen that before."
The Danes then went on to defeat Plattsburgh, 10-4, to win the championship,
"That was really a great game," said
i"orrigan. "Both teams played well, we
just played better. We had good ball coni rol which let us control the game as a
whole."
According to Corrigan, senior scrums
Sean Crawford and Eddy Levine made
major contributions to the victory.
"They had a great day running, getting
to the tackles," said Corrigan. "We won a
lot of scrum-downs close to the goal line."
The championship trophy was given to
senior Phil Segal, who had broken his leg
in the season's earlier game against
Plattsburgh.
The B-side defeated Middlebury, 17-3,
in their opening game, but was defeated by
the Plattsburgh B-side, 18-0, in the second
round.
"The Plattsburgh B-side was basically
guys from their A-side, so it was pretty
much a mismatch," said Corrigan.
The Dane ruggers had extra incentive to
play well in Saturday's game against
Albany Law.
"The Admissions Director is their advisor," explained Corrigan, "so we've got
a few guys looking to have a very good
game."
Albany Law took a 6-0 lead with a try
scored early in the first half. The Dane
scoring was limited to a penalty kick by
Tony Ellis.
"I think we took the game too lightly,
they were definitely beatable," said Corrigan. "They were good hitters and played
a good game. Their hitting was really the
only difference in the game."
"I don't know what happened," said
Corrigan. "I don't know why it turned out
that way."
The Dane ruggers will regroup next
semester for the spring season.
"We're looking forward to a good spring season. We may even add a few football players," said Corrigan. "Then again,
I'll believe it when I see it."

"We are like a family, of course we
argue, fight, and get mad at each other,
but generally we feel very close. We are
very open with each other, not much is
hidden, including the coach," said
Munsey.
He enjoys going to some of their parties,
he thinks it's fun to meet all their
girlfriends, and now he's even meeting
their children.
There's great loyalty and affection
among members of the team.
"Although the loyalty has carried over
through the years, the original group was
the most loyal. This is due to the proud
feeling amidst the starters of a sport," said
Munsey.
Munsey also feels cross country is a
more loyal sport than track.
"Track doesn't command as much
loyalty as it is more of an individual
sport," said Munsey.
The general feeling amongst the team
members is one of gratitude, fondness,
and respect towards Coach Munsey.
"He's made me like the sport a lot
more, I look forward to the season and
practice. He really cares and promotes the
team," said Pat Paul.
He has also offered many times to help
people on the team out.
"I don't want to be coached by anyone
else in my years of cross country —
Munsey's been good for me," declared
Paul. "He makes sports fun," added Ray
Volper.

freshman Kevin Mietlicki.
"1 and the others who ran were so glad
to be a part of the win," said sophomore
Pat Paul.
Munsey's 2Q0th victory sparked a lot of
unexpected publicity.
"1 didn't expect as much publicity as we
received — 1 was expecting Channel 10 and
the Times Union to cover it, but I didn't
expect the huge write up in the Troy
Record,"said Munsey.
The team presented a plaque to Munsey
after the meet, proceeded by a celebration
at Skipper's Tavern.
Munsey is glad to see that so many
former runners are still running competitively. A great example of this is Tom
Robinson, the first of 22 PhD's among
former cross country runners. He was inducted Saturday, November 2, into the
Hall of Fame. He holds the record for
3,000 meters in the masters division (40 +).
One highlight of his career was ending
Fredonia's six year reign, last year in
SUNYACs. Another was qualifying in the
regional meet in 1983 which sent them to
nationals.
"We ended up ranked third, and we
didn't even expect to go, but we deserved
it,"said Munsey proudly.
Munsey and his team enjoy a close unity
and incredible comraderie.
Munsey's goal is to improve the running
level of cross country in the upcoming
years. The team will be running double sessions two times a week and there will be
additional changes made in training.
"My goal is to have the running at this
time next year stronger. I want to keep a
good solid program, and at the same time
have fun." concluded Munsey.

Great Danes travel to Buffalo for next roadblock
By Marc Berman
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
The narrow playoff path the Danes are
treading on will take a 320 mile western
turn Saturday, when the Albany State
football team faces Buffalo University at
the Bulls' unnamed, million dollar sports
complex.
The Danes have made the NCAA
playoffs just once in the program's 16-year
history. That memorable season came in
1977; it has been seven dry years since. The
dry spell will reach eight if the Danes are
unable to dispose of Buffalo and Wagner
in their final two games.
Taking one game at a time, Buffalo (4-4)
is by far the easier of the two, and Coach
Bob Ford is well aware that football teams
sometimes have the tendency to take softer
opponents for granted. By the same token,
Ford points out, underdogs seem to rise to.
the occasion against, playoff-caliber
squads.
"You always like to play well against someone good," Ford said. "Buffalo, is going to have no trouble getting pumped for
us."
Halfback Ro Mitchell says the Danes
will be ready too.
"It's hard not to look past Buffalo to
Wagner," Mitchell said . "We've been
focusing on that game for so long. But we
know if we don't get past Buffalo, we're
out of the playoffs."
John Donnelly,'who is Albany's career
reception leader, remembers what happened three weeks ago in Cortland.
"We know we need two more games for
the playoffs," Donnelly said. "We know
what happened in Cortland when we got a
little cocky. We've seen the films and
they're a good team."
There is still concern over the Danes'
quarterback situation. Mike Milano bruised a nerve in his elbow early in the fourth
quarter against Hofstra, losing feeling in
his throwing hand. Sophomore Jeff
Russell, last year's starter, came on in
relief to pick up the save.
The numbness is gone, but Milano still
was unable to grip the football on Monday
and Tuesday because of the pain. Milano
expects to throw a little during practice
today.
"It's getting better everyday," said the
Business major from Huntington. "I hope
to throw the ball today because I have to
loosen up."
Ford is optimistic that Milano will start
Saturday, but he isn't scared to put in his
starter from 1984. .
"Russell is the best quarterback I've had
coming off the bench in my 16 years
here," Ford said. "When Milano went
down, I was hoping for a (Dan)
Quisenberry. I just wanted him to hold on
to the lead and he did a great job at that."

"We weren't familiar with playing with
each other, and Binghamton jumped on
our mistakes, which were mostly mental,"
said Pomakoy.
The team seemed to be disorganized
and often out of position, which will
hopefully be cleared up with practice.
The team also lost a key player in the
first period as Billy Abrams went down
with a separated shoulder.
"Everyone played as well as could be
asked with our limited practice. Being a
non-league game, it was meaningless, but
it was a good opportunity to see where our
problems are, which will be cleared up in
practice this week,"said Essner.

in the Danes' 35-27 victory at University
Field on Saturday.
The victory leaves the Danes, now 6-2,
with two hurdles, Buffalo and Wagner, to
overcome if they are to have a shot at an
NCAA playoff bid.
In a mistake-ridden game, Albany continually opened the door for Hofstra to tie
the score, before apparently closing it
again.
Quarterback Mike Milano's one-yard
touchdown run 39 seconds into the fourth
quarter produced the game-winning
points, but the game was far from over at
that point. Even fullback Dave Soldini's
51-yard touchdown scamper four minutes
later couldn't settle the issue. The Dane offense, headed by Jeff Russell in place of an
injured Milano, continually gave the ball
back to Hofstra in the fourth quarter,
before Albany's defense would take it
right back.
Dane safety Wayne Anderson personally repaid Hofstra for last year's 35-32
defeat, in which he was beaten for a
touchdown pass in the final two minutes,
by tipping one pass to teammate Gerry
Brown and intercepting two others himself
in the fourth quarter. Anderson's first interception, with 5:03 left to play, came on
fourth down from the Albany three-yard
line after Hofstra quarterback Alan Squeri
had previously thrown three incomplete
passes from the three. Squeri was looking
for split end James Moore, who got the
best of Anderson for last year's gamewinner.

STAFF WRITER
R. Keith Munsey is a legendary
character around the Albany State campus. After coaching cross country at
Albany lor the past 28 years, he recorded
his 200th career win this fall.
His cowboy hat, full beard, and gruff
voice resemble that of a stereotypical
westerner. On Ihe inside, he is full of enthusiasm for Ihc learns he has coached and
ihe classes he teaches. His comical personality is evident in whatever he does.
Prior to coming to SUNYA, Munsey
couched high school basketball, football,
and baseball. He also coached a few individual runners as learns had not yet been
formed.
Munsey has been at SUNYA for the past
28 years. For his first six years, he was in
charge of housing, both student and off
campus residence. Besides coaching men's
cross country for 24 years, he has coached
men's spring irack for 19 years and men's
indoor track for 15 years.
Because SUNYA did not originally field
a track team, cross country was the practical foundation of running sports. All
clubs being initiated on campus needed a
faculty sponsor, so at the request of Tom
Robinson, who organized everything,
Munsey became the team's sponsor.

An in-depth look at
Dane playoff hopes
For the Albany State Great Danes to
receive their first playoff berth since
1977 and second in the school's history,
they will have to win their next two
games. But even an 8-2 record might not
be enough.
Four teams from the East will be invited by a national selection committee
to play in the NCAA Division HI national championship tournament. The
Danes are one of eight teams which are
presently in contention for a spot in the
playoffs.
Union, the only undefeated team with
an 8-0 record and one game remaining
against Hamilton, has an excellent
chance even if they lose that game.
"They're a shoe-in," said Albany Head
Coach Bob Ford. "They've been in it
the last two years."
Two of the other bids will most likely
go to Ithaca and Montclair State, both
with 7-1 records. Even if Ithaca loses
one of its two remaining games, their
season-opening win against Albany ensures them a bid ahead of the Danes.
With two games left, Montclair faces
Jersey City and Glassboro, and an upset
is highly improbable.
That leaves one playoff bid for the
Danes to shoot for. The other teams still
in contention for the spot are Kings
Point, Western Connecticut and
Wagner, all at 7-1, and Plymouth State
at 6-2.
Kings Point still has to play lona and
Ithaca. The Danes are hoping the Ithaca
game will result in a second loss for
Kings Point, eliminating them from the
picture. Western Connecticut will disappear from the playoff scene if they lose
their upcoming game against Hofstra.
"We have to root for Ithaca to beat
King's Point," said Ford. "We hope
Hofstra will beat Western Connecticut
to give them two losses, and Plymouth
State already has two losses and we have
a little better chance than them."
It may seem like the Danes' playoff
hopes are hanging on a thread, but the
situation isn't as perilous as it seems.
"One thing that's helping us is that
our last game is against Wagner, a team
ranked in the top ten nationally," said
Ford."A win over Wagner is fairly
impressive."

game today — there's so much geometry

Before Albany had track he coached

Munsey enjoys coaching cross country

Also, he adds, "The biggest drawback of

"In track, you see the kids grow up
before your eyes because they are there
with you on the track at all times, unlike
cross country when they disappear for
awhile until they come back from their run

Munsey has sent approximately a dozen
teams to nationals, and also three in-

cold weather. It will help immensely once
the field house is built."
The 70's were the strongest years for
both cross country and track. The track
learn won thirty meets in a row, dropped
one by a point, and came back to win 30
more in a row. These were the golden years
for cross country. For 6.7 years the men's
cross country team was untouchable.
Munsey has officially retired from
coaching track, but will be around for a
while longer as the men's cross country
coach.
"I'd like to hang around for a while to
see what the freshmen and sophomores
can do," said Munsey.
He doesn't regret giving up track, but he
dividuals. He's had four All-Amcricans in
five events in track and two All-Americans
in cross country.
Out of 15 years in SUNYACs, Munsey
has won five .
The biggest win for Munsey and his
cross country team, however, is his 200th
win, against Hartwick 20-37 and St. Rose
15-50 on September 25. It was also his
400th career win, including his 200 wins in
track.
"We all wanted it and it was a lot of
fun," said Munsey.

Flutist Shocker to electrify PAC
asserts.
"I don't believe in practicing technique. I
think music improves when you develop
an understanding of it. Always, the solution is structural. I need some kind of handle to get over the humps."
According to Shocker, "A musical problem is like a personal problem. When you
step back, you see the larger pattern. You
can get a little bit objective about it, and
you can correct it."
Shocker was recently chosen through international auditions by Young Concert
Artists, Inc, a talent agency which promotes young, promising musicians
throughout the northeast. It was from a
Young Concert Artists' brochure that
SUNYA's student-run Music Council
selected Gary Shocker to perform in the
Recital Hall this evening. Staccy Kern,
secretary of Music Council, reports that
Shocker will be the first performer in a
series of concerts by young musicians.

"I felt different from the other kids," admits Shocker. "I was different. But it's a little bit more complicated than the classic
story. When you start to give concerts at
the age of three or four, and people tell
you how wonderful you are, you start to
develop a certain sense of yourself when
you're very young. I did feel set apart."
Shocker began to study the flute privately under Julius Baker when he was 14. "He
really believed in me," says Shocker. "He
gave me a tremendous amount of support.
My flute playing technically took off."
While studying under Baker, he was
awarded the Severenson, Yamaha, and
Muramatsu (lute; prizes, he performed in a
Young People's, Concert with the New .
York Philharmonic, and he won the
Philadelphia Orchestra's young Artists
Competition.
"It was always very easy for me," claims,
Shocker. "When I was younger, I often
resented having to practice, but at that time
I never practiced more than two or three
hours a day."
He adds, "I still went to regular old high
school. The kids in my health class used to
knock on their desks and ask me what note
it was. They thought it was very funny."
Shocker continued his musical studies at
the Julliard School, where he won the
Helena Rubenstein and Naumberg scholarship prizes and became involved in composing, arranging, and directing music for
theatre. His most recent work was for the
off-Broadway production of Looking for
Love.
"Right now I'm in a program for composers called BMI," says Shocker. "It's a
workshop for musical theatre. I love it."
At this point in his career, Shocker is
comfortable with performance and finds
composing to be a rewarding application of
his talents. He expresses, "Composition is
becoming more and more important to me.
It gets me thinking. You can play a piece
because it's beautiful, but after a while it
starts to dry up on you. I feel a sense of expansion when I write my own music."
Performing and practicing are still central to Shocker's daily routine. "Now, 1
spend most of the day practicing, primarily
flute and some piano. On the flute, I don't
have technical problems — Well, they're
never insurmountable problems," he
"We want to have a Young Concert Artist every semester for ever and ever,"
Kern declares. They chose Shocker
because, according to Kern, "He's just
phenomenal."
Shocker's program will consist of flute
sonatas, and he will be accompanied by
pianist Dennis Heimlich. A piece by
Joseph Fennimore, based on a poem by
Turgenev called 'The Torrents of Spring,"
is one of Shocker's favorites. "It's a great
big piece," he says. "I'm looking forward to
playing it."
Despite his many prestigious awards and
his early musical success, Shocker is not
over-confident. "I hope I don't sound too
presumptuous," he worries. "I also hope
some people turn out for this concert."
The concert will begin at 8 pm. Tickets
are $5 for general admission, $4 for
students, and $3 with a SUNYA tax
sticker. For more information contact the
PAC box office at 442-3997.

Transfer stops at the Palace
I
t was 8 pm on a Saturday night, and I
was sitting in a palace filled with
histpry, waiting for the show to start.
April S. Anastasi
I really, was in a palace, and was sitting
right in the center. I was there to see, not a
king or queen, but Tim Hanser, Cheryl
Bentyne, Janis Siegel, and Alan Paul.
They've got four of the best voices in the
business, .and collectively they are the
Manhattan Transfer. It was the Palace
Theatre — not in the middle ages, but las!
Saturday, October 2.
I had accepted this assignment with a little trepidation, despite my limited
knowledge of the Fab foursome. Sure, I
had seen them on the Tonight Show. And
I'd rocked lo their pop hits, "The Boy From
New York City," and "Twilight Zone."
However, 1 was in no way prepared for the
show I was about to see.
As we sat In the Palace, we began to
realize that the audience was predominantly made up^ of a 30 and over crowd.
Nonetheless,' I had prepared myself for
this, fully aware that the MT didn't exactly
have the youthful appeal (or publicity) of,
say, Bryan Adams or Phil Collins.
Around 8:15, the house lights went
down, the musicians came out onto the
darkened stage, and a single spot quickly
roamed thejenglh of the itaqe. Then, the
only sound in the theatre was the anticipating murmur of the audience.
Suddenly, the quartet appeared, in formal attire, and the show began. We were
wowed by the unique sound of the songs
that they performed from their tenth, and
latest, album Vocalese.
Vocalese itself is a type of jazz singing
and songwriting where an instrumental is
taken and lyrics are written in such a manner that there is a word for each note. The
speed at which some of the phrases are
sung to get all the words in is astonishing.
After we were duly impressed, the MT
decided it was time to rock the Palace, and
rock it they didl Between songs, they left
the stage and then returned after undergoing a drastic costume change — from their
1940's nightclub attire of tuxes, cocktail
gowns, and dressy suits, to 50's style street
clothes.
We were then treated to the saga of
"Killer Joe," a wonderfully enjoyable, funny, and theatrical performance. A few
songs later, we were treated to what I considered (and still do) one of the show's best
numbers, "Gloria." Sung a cappella, it was
virtually Impossible to catch a note which

When we were overjoyed and overwhelmed by the energy and enthusiasm

face 1 looked at held nothing less than a
smile, and in the air around me I caught adjectives like, "invigorating," "great," and,
"sensational."
The air of anticipation was dissolved,
and our hopes were fulfilled when the
Manhattan Transfer returned from the intermission with a spirited, enthusiastic rendition of their hit, "Birdland."
They went on to do a number of songs
which highlighted not only their Individuality and versatility, but also their
band. The most impressive member was,
by far, Yaron Gernhovjky, a gifted
keyboard player, u well as their musical
conducler and arranger.
They ended their show, or so they
thought, about 2Vi hours later. However,
two standing ovations and intense cheering
from the full-house crowd resulted in two
encores, "The Boy From New York City,"
and "Rockhouse." They left the stage for
the third time, leaving the Palace rocking
on its foundations with their music and a
third standing ovation from their kingdom
of admirers,
The first of October marked the group's
thirteenth anniversary. After this concert
and the success of Vocalese, you can be
sure that the Manhattan Transfer will be
around for many years to come. If you
have an opportunity, catch them In concert. They're stupendous!

MMMHM
2a Aspects
"/ think I bring to each of my performances 23 years of
my life's experiences.. . "
—Emilio Estevez
Let's examine those experiences. The son of actor
Martin Sheen, Estevez has appeared in Tex, Repo Man,
Nightmares, The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, and That
Was Then This Is Now, for which he penned the
screenplay. He recently completed a starring role in Stephen
King's Overdrive, and the credits on his next project, entitled Wisdom, will include writer, director, and star.
In a hotel room on the 34th floor of The Parker Meridian,
overlooking Manhattan, Estevez pours himself into a chair.
He strikes one as thoroughly relaxed, wearing tattered blue
jeans, a gray sports jacket, and a grungy pair of white Nike
sneakers. He speaks truthfully, although, at times, Estevez
shares less than he desires, an obvious after-effect of the
New Yorker "Brat Pack" article two years ago.
" . . . I'm not capable of bringing 26 or 27 years of my
life's experiences because I haven't lived that long yet. Every
year I grow. Every performance I grow and learn something
new. I learn something about myself everytime," he shares.
"In the last couple of years I've been able to relax in front
of the camera. That makes a world of difference, whether
you're tight and worrying about your lines. I don't study my
lines before I go to work. I have a general idea about what I
do, what I'm going to say, and I go in front of the camera.
Whatever happens happens. If a fly lands on your head
what are you going to do? Leave it there because it's not in
the script? There!" Estevez shouts, smacking his face,
"you've swatted a fly. Get rid of it."
So at ease before the camera, Estevez feels prepared to
move behind it. "1 just made a deal with Gladden Entertainment Corporation, which is (Producer) David Begelman's
company in Los Angeles, to direct and star in (a film based
on his own) original screenplay called Wisdom. We start
shooting in January," explains Estevez.
"I am scared to death of directing, but I have the energy
right now. I may not have that energy five or ten years from
now. But I love film. My whole life I've loved film. I used to
make eight millimeter films. Surfing movies," Estevez recalls
with a sheepish smile. "I made a movie when I was in sixth
grade with all the neighborhood kids about the Mafia
(laughs). We called it The Godbrother. It was about trading
diamonds and stuff. We had this old chandelier that was in a
box in the attic. I pulled all the crystals off and used those
for the diamonds. It was wild."
"I would get into the editing and the music. So I'm excited
as hell to be directing Wisdom and to be really in control in
front of and behind the camera. It seems like a natural progression for me."
Estevez desribes Wisdom as a contemporary drama concerning a young man who doesn't fit anywhere on the social
ladder. "He sets out to change his own life and to change the
lives of some people around him in a very positive way,"
promises the screenwriter. "That's all I can say about it
without giving too much away."
A project Estevez does talk about, proudly and at length,
is That Was Then, This Is Now, based on S.E. Hinton's
novel. Estevez plays Mark, a young man growing up, and
apart from his best friend Bryan (Craig Sheffer).
"I was doing Tex in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and 1 had never
read S.E.Hinton before Tex, so I picked up the book That
Was Then This Is Now in the bookstore. I took it home and
read it. It just floored me. It was just an incredible novel," he
proclaims. "I felt if any of her novels were going to be turned into film this should be the one."
I November 6, 1985 I
Aspects 3a
Something about
No one at the time held the rights to the novel. Estevez,
then 18, approached Susan Hinton and requested that she
sell him the rights. "1 said I'd like to take a shot at it," relates
Estevez. "She was a little reluctant because of my age, but I
talked about some ideas I had. She said "Yeah, I think you
can do it. You'd be perfect to play Mark.' I said, 'Yeah, I
know.' "
"So I started working on the screenplay. I didn't really intend to write it until I optioned the property. Screenwriters •
these days get a lot of money. I needed to see if it translated
well. So I took two weeks right after shooting Tex and
wrote the first draft, which ran 120 pages and read very
well. A couple of people read it and they encouraged me to
continue writing. It went through a long process, four and a
half years, to finally get to the screen."
Studio backing posed one major roadblock in Estevez' efforts to mount 77iaf Was Then. The other Hinton novel
translations to film (Tex, The Outsiders, and Rumble Fish)
generally failed at the box office. "I think that was the biggest hurdle for me to get over," claims Estevez, "the studios
were not willing to put money into something that was
another intense youth drama. You feed someone junk food
their entire lives and they don't know the difference between health food and junk food."
"If you feed them junk food movies they go to see junk
food movies for the rest of their lives. You feed them health
food, it takes them a while to pick up on it, but they eventually do. They realize that the health food makes them feel
better, the health food movies make them feel better. It's
sad to think it's taken this long to change, but change is
slow. We'll see what happens in the future, if they continue
to make movies like 77ie Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's
Fire."
Another potential dilemma facing Estevez derived from
the fact that any film concerning teenagers is immediately
labeled a "teen film." Estevez read That Was Then at a time
when teen sex-ploitation films flooded the market. "All the
kids are into sex, drugs, and rock n roll, and they are
mindless. I thought, 'Well, Jesus, this is really not fair. I'm
tired of being portrayed as this mindless human being.' That
Was Then struck a chord in me which said 'Yes, this has a
possibility of making a difference. It's an intelligent book
and it could make an intelligent film.' It's taken a long time
to get to the screen and since then we've had Risky Business,
which I consider an intelligent film, 77ie Breakfast Club, St.
Elmo's Fire, and just these high class youth films. So, That
Was Then is a little late, but I think it will find an audience."
by Ian Spelling
Finding an audience meant sacrificing certain elements of
the Hinton novel, chiefly the disheartening realities. "We
felt we needed to make the film a little more up," Estevez
confesess. "It's (the novel) very moralistic, I think. There's
not a real elelment of humor. You find that in most of her
novels. What I did with (director) Chris Cain was infuse the
humor element. The last thing I think we needed was
another S.E.Hinton novel with a brooding young man, a
troubled youth who's sulking and pounding on locker
doors. We just didn't need that. Instead that pain is reallycovered up by this humor. I think it works much better. It
makes it more accessable to the audience."
Estevez brought much of himself to the role of Mark.
"Mark goes through a lot of pain. He's got a lot of hurt. He's
a scarred individual. The key to his character," contends
Estevez, "is when he says 'I don't like anybody hurting me,'
Craig Shelter (left) and Emilio Estevez (right) In That Was Then ... This Is Now.'
because he's got so much hurt himself. He takes that pain
out on other people. He verbally abuses people. He
physically abuses people, as we see him do a number of
times in the film. He's got so much pain and so much anxiety built up inside that I just really tapped into my own pain,
and my own fears, and covered them up with the humor
element. In rehearsals 1 discovered that was the key to mark.
So that was the inward homework."
"The physical homework was finding something right for
the hair, finding the right earing, losing a certain amount of
weight, and just doing those little things that make up a
character."
Mark additionally provided Estevez the occasion to portray a person he wasn't on the surface. "1 think there's a
Mark inside me screaming to get out. That's why I wanted
to play this character. I think we all have a wild streak to us,
our alter ego. It was a terrific opportunity for me to get that
out of my system. We play certain roles for a reason. 1 now
have this out of my system," declares Estevez, who pauses
momentarily and adds, "I'm kind of a combination of my
character, (Andy) in The Breakfast Club and Mark from
That Was Then."
Proceeding on advice from friends and colleagues,
Estevez contemporized That Was Then. His story takes
place in the 1980's rather than the '50"s of Hinton's novel. "It
was a decision made by the producers and myself, based on
a couple of things," Estevez discloses. '.'One; as far as our
budget, It's hard to shoot a period picture and get the right
cars and the right setting and pay attention to details of
clothing and dialogue. We didn't want to deal with that.
Another thing is that I think (updating) makes it more accesible to the young people now going to films."
Susan Hinton primarily avoided direct association with
the project, though privy to the alterations made. "The only
thing I really conferred with her about," divulges Estevez,
"was contemporizing the novel. 1 called and said 'Look, this
is Chris (Cain's) thought. These are my thoughts. We think
for various reasons we'd like to contemporize this.' She said,
Sure, as long as the characters remain intact I don't have a
problem. You could set this in 1920 as long as the characters
retain the same flavor they have in the novel.' She had no
problem with that."
Neither did Estevez. As an eighties actor and man, he felt
no pressure writing for actors his age. "I think It was easy for
me to write that dialogue. (Though) I had a problem writing
some of the descriptions and trying to make them visual. I
didn't have a problem with the dialogue because, being an
actor, when I read a cringeable line," he says cringing in
mock disgust, "I know 'That just doesn't sound right and
(think) 'How am I going to work around this.' If an actor
finds a line difficult to read than the line is probably not
written right."

That Was Then often works better; which
in truth rates as qualified praise. The other
films weren't all that good. Estevez updated the story, which now takes place in
Minneapolis/St. Paul in the I980's. This
makes the story far more accessible than
The Outsiders or Rumble Fish.
Estevez plays Mark, a troubled and
troublesome young man who bucks the
system at every opportunity. He drives
recklessly, treats people nastily, and simply
refuses to mature. Mark's best friend,
Bryan (Craig Sheffer), with whom he has
lived since his parents' deaths nine years
earlier, begins to grow up and prepares to
live in the real world. Mark quickly
becomes jealous of both Bryan and his new
girlfriend, Cathy (Kim Delaney), and goes
completely out of control.
The romance between Bryan and Cathy,
which is superbly developed through
short, concise scenes and a superior montage sequence, generates tension
throughout. Bryan's former girlfriend seeks
revenge. He, however, backs down from
any confrontation. Mark then involves
himself and suffers minor injuries as a
result. Later, Mark and Bryan hustle two
older men at their friend Charley's bar.
Outside the two gunwielding men confront Mark and Bryan. Charley dies attempting to protect the boys. Mark turns
inward following the incident, while Bryan
relies on Cathy. Thus, the drift between
them widens. The film's remainder examines the manner in which the two
young men face impending and colliding
realities.
Estevez performs gamely in what must
be described as the most underdeveloped
of (he three major roles. Whether this
derives from his acting or writing, or any
combination, can't be ascertained.
However, Mark doesn't seem real enough
to consider memorable. Sheffer, in his
screen debut, brings a sense of growth to
his role. Bryan genuinely blossoms
throughout the story. Unfortunately, Sheffer occasionally loses sight of the
character's personality, or at least its current state of mental development, and
veers off in different directions at inopportune moments. Kim Delaney offers a
sweet, sympathetic performance in her
debut, though the role, for dramatic purposes, is severly underwritten. And
Morgan Freeman's humane portrayal of
Charlie certainly ranks as the best performance in the film.
Director Cain relies far too heavily on
close-ups for dramatic emphasis. One

newly revised
election policy
By Angelina Wang
STAFF WHITER
The newly revised Student Association Elections Policy, which would have
provided for some public financing of
elections and also limits on advertising,
has been thrown out after Central
Council failed to override a presidential
veto last Wednesday.
The veto was SA President Steve
Gawley's first this year. An override attempt fell short of the 20 necessary votes
on a 13-16-0 ballot.
The presidential veto was announced
to Council by Steve Russo, Internal Affairs chair, who also said, "In my opinion, the entire veto rests on this point
of a $250 ASP (Albany Student Press)
ceiling." The Election Regulation Act
had allowed certain candidates lo spend
up to $250 on advertising in the AST.
"There was no limit on ASP ads
before, and this (Act) decided there
should be," Russo said. "You do not
have to trash the whole policy for this
one thing."
Russo was concerned that the whole
policy would have to be discussed,
debated, and opened for amendment
lfe.
