CUOMO VETOES DEATH PENALTY Award®
P r e s s C o n f e r e n c e A t C S R C o n f u s i o n
By JON HAMBLIN
Recently an adminisirative decision
was made to remove the division awards
from the annual honors convocation.
This decision created confusion as to
where, when and if these awards would
-be given.
Dr, Thomas Boeke, undergraduate
dean, spoke to In sc ap e about the
decision. Dr. Boeke said that the
decision was arrived at after consulting
academic adminstration, division chairs
and faculty and was not intended to
denigrate or lessen the importance of
service to programs and majors." Dr.
Boeke added that the awards are
important enough to be given their
own forum to emphasize their
importance. Dr. Boeke seemed to
suggest that the awards may be given
out at the baccalaureate dinner, although
it is not known for certain what will be
done this year.
Dr. Boeke responded to the confusion
created by the decision by saying,
"Change is difficult and sometimes
painful, customs and traditions at any
institution are important."

A very serious Governor Mario
Cuomo took to the podium in CSR’s
St. Joseph's Hall to announce his
reasons for vetoing the Legislature's bill
on the death penalty.
Sharing the stage with Bishop
Howard Hubbard and CSR President
Louis Vacarro, Cuomo emphasized the
magnitude of the issue, saying it was
difficult to imagine a more important
decision."
Gov. Cuomo's 30 minute speech
aimed the solution of crime at the
Legislature, instead of a death penalty.
The members of Legislature, he said,
should give him more money to hire
more judges and state troopers, and more
money for drug rehabilitation programs
throughout the state.
This was the seventh time Cuomo
has vetoed a death penalty bill from the
Legislature. In the absence of a death
penalty, Cuomo proposed a tougher,
stronger penal system.
"You go in alive and you come out
when you die," said Cuomo, referring to
his proposal to increase prison terms
and to use life imprisonment literally,
without chance for parole.
The event, which was sponsored by
the New York State Coalition to
Abolish the Death Penalty, was staged
to bring to light those instances where
innocent victims have been sentenced to
die. To illustrate his case, the Governor
brought up the familiar cases of Isodore
Zimmerman and Bobby McLaughlin,
both wrongly convicted of capital
crimes; McLaughlin having been saved
from the electric chair at the 11th hour.
The Legislature needs only one vote
to override the Governor's veto on this
issue, and will be voting on it next
week.

CSR Model League of Arab States - finishing third In Washington, D.C
By JOE CARASOLE
On the days between March 15 and
18 several CSR students took advantage
of the opportunity to showcase their
diplomatic skills in the Seventh Annual
National Model of the League of Arab
Sttates held at American University in
Washington D.C. Participants included
current members of Dr. Henry Elonge's
International Organizations class as well
as some of those who participated in
last year's model.
In preparation for the model, students
had to study political, economic, social,
cultural, legal, and Palestinian affairs in
the Middle East. They also were well
trained in parliamentary procedure and
debate skills. Dr. Elonge commented
that this year's group was one of the
best that he had seen, and this proved to
be the case as the CSR delegation tied
for third place in the overall competition
with Tim O'Donnell and Helen Tanga
earning awards for their outstanding
achievements. Our delegation was
pleased with its high ranking among the
eighteen schools which participated, but
were disappointed to learn that the
official recognition and plaque for third
place went to the school which tied us,
Siena College. It was explained that
because of the tie a faculty ballot was
held and that by virtue of this ballot
Siena got the award.
Aside from the quest for awards,
which most of our delegates felt to be
secondary in importance, the model
provided a unique opportunity for us to
view the Middle East from a perspective
that most Americans rarely consider.
We were the representatives of an Arab
nation, Somalia, and part of otu- job was
to consider the actions of some Western
nations, including the U.S., as hostile
and terrorist.
Overall, our delegation was very
pleased with its performance especially
considering that this was the first time
in a model for most of the delegates. We
greatly value this opportunity which we
were given and look forward to returning
to the model next year.

The CSR Baseball team (9-0) became
the first team ever to go undefeated in
winning the Wes Rinker Orlando
Collegiate Invitational Basebll
Tournament in Florida over spring
break. The Knights capped off their
torrid Florida trip with a doubleheader
sweep over Rutgers-Newark and North
Central State to capture the title.
"All the teams were very good," said
head coach Bob Bellizzi. "They ranged
from NCAA Division I to NAIA. Any
one of the teams we played could've
beaten us."
The Knights had to beat several tops
notch teams in winning the tourney,
including Mansfield State from
Pennsylvania, ranked #4 in the nation
in NCAA Division II. CSR won 6-5
aafter coming back from a 5-2 deficit. In
that game, tourney MVP Doug Kimbler
had three RBI's.
Dominican College, a long-time
nemesis for the Knights, fell victim to a
4-0 shutout thrown by Scan McGee.
Kimbler stole home in that contest and
Shane Bargy had two RBI's.
Other highlights in the tournament:
The Knights defeated NNCAA power
Adelphi 8-7 behind home runs from
John Mardigian and Bargy; a 14-hit
attack propelled the Knights to a 17-3
trouncing of Division I Drcxel
University; Dutch Silverneel had a
triple, double and single in the 5-2 win
over Rutgers-Newark; Kimbler hit .480
in the tournament; Chris Mason had
three saves and a win in relief for the
Knights; Kimbler, Mardigian, Bargy,
Mason and Randy Dodig made the all-tournament
team.
Perhaps the sweetest of the nine
victories came against Dominican, who
defeated the Knights six times last year
and knocked CSR out of the District 31
tournament. Dominican has lost six
players from last year's starting lineup
and it showed against the Knights.
"Last year, they owned us," said
Bellizzi. "We outhustled them, though.
We were scrappy and more talented."
A scheduled game with Dominican
last Saturday was rained out.
Although the trip was clearly CSR's
best ever, the possibility looms that
players might get too cocky after such a
strong showing. In the Knights first
regular season game against Lehman
College of the Bronx on March 29, they
were a little distracted according to
Bellizzi, in playing to a 6-6 tie.
"There's always a danger of that," said
Bellizzi. "That's my job, to bring them
down to earth."

Hey gang, how was Easter? Hang in
there folks, only a few weeks to go.
Mr. and Ms. CSR. Thank you to
everyone who helped out with making
Mr. and Ms. CSR a success, especially
to Paul Curtacci, Scott Hanrahan, Eric
Pepper, Heath Boice, Kristi Brosseau,
Kelly Evans, Joan Carpenter and
Johanna Livingston (our worthy
contestants). Congrats to Paul and
Kristi, the new Mr. and Ms. CSR!!!
Thanks also to Mark's Idea, the brand
new band with a BIG sound, and our
contestants in Remote Control. And
finally, thank you to everyone on the
staff of Inscape who put up with extra
hours and chaos to bring this show off
the ground. Any suggestions for next
year???
SA Elections. Unfortunately, our
deadlines didn’t coordinate with the SA
Election timeline, so we won't be able
to offer any campaign coverage.
However, I encourage anyone with an
interest in student government to get
involved and run for a position. We can
achieve a lot through a strong, powerful
student government, so if you are
unhappy, do something about it. Good
luck to ail of the candidates.
Editors for next year. If you've
read our ads and said to yourself, "You
know. Inscape could be the place for
me," by all means apply for an editorial
position. We will be accepting
applications until April 10 and we will
need several reliable, dedicated and
energetic persons to get knee-deep in
newsprint for about eighty hours a
week. It’s not really that bad, but it can
be a lot of work. No experience is
necessary, but enthusiasm is.
’ Gripe of the issue. Why is it that
s tu d e n ts c a n 't p a rk in
faculty/administration/staff parking
spots, but they can park in ours?
Sounds unfair to me.
The Rites of Spring. Yes, now
is the season when all red-blooded
Americans get ready for the coming of
fairer weather and the beginning of the
season for the REAL all-American
sport. Baseball—hah!!! BORING!!! The
REAL sport, of course, is stock car
racing.
There's nothing like dirt flying in
your face, your ears pelted by the
incessant roar of unmufflered modified
engines and the aroma of rubber and oil
Hope to see some of you at Fonda's
opener April 8. Spring has finally
arrived.
See ya’ in two.

Well it is time for spring
cleaning!!!!!!!
So it seems the college is finally
going to start some of the construction
that it has been talking about for the
last few years. It should be exciting for
the incoming students to have classroms
that are actually big enough to have a
class in. I just hope that the school does
not decide to expand to fill those extra
spaces. I guess we will just have to wait
and see.
The elections for next year’s officers
will be coming up soon and I would
like to see students get involved! If you
want to make a difference, run for one of
the offices or run for student
representative. Don't think that you
have to have experience, what you need
to have is ambition and the willingness
to work and get involved. So make the
difference and let the student voice be
heard—run for an office!
Seniors don't forget to take care of
any last minute details. We want to
m ^ e sure you graduate with the rest of
us. Also start looking for signs around
campus for the upcoming senior events
and what will be going on senior week.
Just a reminder, yes it is starting to get
nice out-but don't forget about your
grades!!!
Just because the basketball season is
over does not mean that the sports have
ended. Look for our baseball softball,
track and all our other spring teams to
be in action. Get out and give them the
support they need. Let them know you
are behind them.
All returning students, if you have
not handed in your financial aid forms
for next year you better get moving.
Don't wait until the last minute. It not
only puts a burden on the financial aid
office, but it will delay their response to
you. So start planning, and if you have
any questions stop in and see them.
Even though it is warm out people
still need clothing. So when you go
thru your old clothes drop them off at
Campus Ministry, instead of in the
trash. Campus Ministry will also take
food and money donations. Stop up and
see them an the second floor of St.
Joes.
Spring Fling will be coming up
soon. Look for posters around campus
or stop in the student assembly office
for details. Get involved and have fun!!!!
Well this will be my last month as
president and if you have any comments
or suggestions feel free to give me a call
at 454-5199 and leave a message or you
can stop in. It has been a very
interesting year, but I will talk about
that in the next few issues.
Enjoy yourself these last couple of
weeks and always remember.......
KEEP SMILING

To the Editor:
Following the recent letters between
"Liberals" and "Republicans" the last
few weeks has been similar to watching
two gulls fight for the same crumb of
bread. Inevitably one flies into the other
and knocks the morsel to the ground,
where it is quickly snatched up by a
pigeon. The bickering produces nothing
for either side.
It is fine to have an opinion, but if
that opinion is based solely on reputing
and censuring others for ^e ir ideas, to
what good can it lead? Not every
conservative is a sweat-shop running
racist, nor is every liberal a pot-smoking,
seditious Communist.
Stereotypes, labels--STUPID STUFF.
In contemporary America, college
students have the opportunity (duty?) to
experience their world without the
prejudices of the past -- to learn
subjectively without the burden of bias.
Now is not-time to blindly jump into
the trappings of a group. Why label
oneself? It can only lead to walling out
a good amount of that which the world
has to offer. One must endeavor to
listen to a diversity of opinions and
ideas. There is nothing to fear unless
your beliefs are so shallow and rootless
that you can easily be led down darkened
paths.
There is more to any argument than
right and left, black and white, etc...
One should avolid locking himself or
herself into an ideology that cannot be
fully comprehended at any age. After all,
what are the beliefs of a true
conservative? A true liberal? Who gives
a flying fish? Stop nitpicking-think for
yourselves and share that piece of bread
once in a while.

Dear CSR,
I am writing in memory of the tragic
loss of an excellent teacher at CSR,
Valerie Kdirwied^. She was the head of
a very tiny, yet dynamic major on
campus, that of Medical Technology.
She built the major into a highly
successful program which boasts 100%
job placement upon graduation. As one
of the statistics, I can easily proclaim
her success as part of CSR. Vsd was an
energetic educator. She conveyed her
enthusiasm by her interactive style of
teaching. Although at times I truly
resented her relentless demands, I know
now that I was only pushed to my fullet
potential. It did not take Val's death to
make me realize that she was a major
factor in my successful graduation.
Upon receiving my second passing
score on the national certification
exams. I wrote to her and thanked her
for making "heir worth my while. I
appreciate what all my teachers
contributed to get me through, but she
was the one who gave me a sense of
confidence. Val will certainly be missed
as a highly intelligent professional in
the Held of medical technology, as well
as a professor at CSR and as a true
friend. I can only stress there is a large
void to be filled at CSR.
Sincerely,
Lareina M. Higuera (MT)

To the Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity
to express my delight at reading that
Tim Koubek has been named as this
year’s recipient of the Brian Brown
Memorial Award.
During my four years at CSR I was
privileged to meet and work with many
individuals who were concerned about
CSR, and who were genuinely
wonderful people to be around. Tim was
one of those people. Although we are
not close friends, 1 had several
opportunities to get to know Tim in my
last two years at CSR, and I agree with
Dave Kisselback’s comment that Tim fit
the criteria of the award. Tim has always
shown himself to be a capable, caring
individual, and always seemed to put to
rest the notion that athletes could not be
successful in academics or concerned
about the community.
Many awards will be given out at this
year's awards ceremony that reflect on
people's achievements during their stay
at CSR. No other award, however, pays
tribute to people who are modest
enough to be graceful during the good
limes, and who keep a smile or a joke
in reserve during the tough ones. Last
year, the selection committee chose
Marty LeGere as the recipient of the
award, and I thought the committee
made an outstanding choice. Those who
know Marty are sure to agree. I believe
that Tim is a worthy successor.
Also, I would like to send along my
congratulations to the Inscape staff
for the outstanding job they have done
during the course of the year. Last year
our primary focus was to keep Inscape
alive, and I am pleased to see that Bill
and his staff have gone well beyond that
this year. They have surpassed all of the
expectations that we had at the end of
last year, and have also gone beyond all
of our previous accomplishments. As
editor-in-chief last year, I faced many
tough decisions about how to best keep
the paper going. The easiest decision I
had, and perhaps the best I made, was
naming Bill Smith as editor-in-chief.
Congratulations, and keep up the good
work.
Sincerely,
Richard T. Olshak
Somewhere in Illinois
wisdom and Brevity
To the Editor:
It is said that wisdom consists of nine
parts silence and one part brevity.
Whether my remarks impart wisdom
may be questioned, but I assure you that
I will be brief.
The New York Times of March 1,
1989 came out with two news reports
that attracted my attention. In the first
story the U.S. administration "called on
the Palestine Liberation Organization
today to refrain from attacks on Israeli
targets...regardless of whether such
attacks fit its (PLO's) definition of
terrorism." A state department offical
said that "...an attack on people wearing
military uniforms might be an act of
terrorism if the victims were not
engaged in a combat role."
However the state department
spokesman failed to clarify that these
Israeli soldiers are actually part of the
forces occupying the Palestinian
homelands. The Palestinian people are,
therefore, the only occupied people in
the world who are being asked to
"refrain" from resisting their invaders.
The second report was: "Israeli jets
bombed Palestinian targets southeast of
Beirut (Lebanon) today, killing 3 people
and wounding 22 school children."

Easter . . . at CSR
To the Editor:
Easter is a holiday anticipated by
young and old, with deep tradition and
great religious meaning. This year the
majority of students enjoyed the break at
home or in temperate climates. A
handful of students remained here on the
educational homestead.
By Easter weekend, only about six
students were left on campus. A couple
of us decided to meet for brunch to
celebrate the holiday together. Due to
personal or other reasons, we elected to
stay on campus knowing that services
would be provided for us. Upon arriving
at brunch, we were greeted with "There's
no brunch today, try the cold cereal."
And can I tell you there wasn't any milk
out. At this point, being a little
disgruntled, I foraged into the kitchen in
search of brunch for us. As a note, none
of the students were informed of this
change. Thank you very much.
Now the staff was busily preparing
the Easter feast (remember this). On
my scavenger hunt in the ARA den of
cuisine, the overworked staff offered
approximated directional points as help
in finding a suitable meal. When
fmished, our bounty consisted of three
bricks (also known as bagels), several
hot cups of beverages, a quart of orange
juice and some cream cheese. I proceeded
back to Lima with this meaner meal.
If only I had a few flsh and could walk
W h y J o h n n y C a n ' t
A f f o r d C o l l e g e
on water, I could have fed the masses.
Sorry -- the religious aspects of Easter
started to carry me away at this point.
While the four of us huddled around
Lima Desk enjoying this banquet, we
were informed that Easter dinner was
being prepared for 14 individuals, none
of them being students. Isn't this
special? Something about reservations
that none of us were aware of, Hmmm.
We ate there all vacation week and no
one mentioned that the meal preparation
started a half hour after ARA knew
students wanted dinner, but they still
said, "Sorry, NO."
Thusly, ARA agreed to provide a
plethora of alternate food items for the
students. We were told to return at
12:30 p.m. Upon returning, our feast
had not been prepared yet. Apparently,
they couldn't have cooked four more
pieces of chicken in ARA kitchens.
We returned 45 minutes later to be
greeted by six sandwiches (1 roast beef,
2 ham and swiss, and 3 turkey), a bag of
chips, 4 warm sodas, and some cake.
Yes, just like Mom never made.
Thusly, we picknicked on the lawn in
the sunshine and were attacked by only
one potato chip crazed squirrel. And how
was your Easter? Mine was quite
memorable and defmitely one I don't
plan to incorporate into my family
tradition. „ , „

Ed. Note — This a rticle
appeared in the Vancouver Sun
on March 21, 1989 and is being
reprinted with permission by the
Baltimore Evening Sun.
By ROBERT V. lOSUE
President of York College, York
Pennsylvania
Johnny was three years old when his
parents read the good news in an
American national newspaper. The year
was 1975. "Colleges Seek to Raise
Record Sums to Battle Inflation, Hold
Students and Survive," said the headline.
"Alumni, beware," said the text.
"Chances are your college will soon
start hitting you for more money than
ever. But parents of collegians, take
heart: many colleges plan to use part of
the money to curb tuition increases."
The article went on to name one
university after another that would be
seeking huge endowments to offset
tuition fee increases, including a little
850-student college that wanted to raise
$23 million.
"The way inflation looks, we simply
won't be able to go to families and ask
for that much more tuition," one
president said.
In chimed the head of the Association
of American Colleges: "Every college is
terribly concerned the matter of cost will
become more important. Colleges see
endowments as a means to hold down
costs to students. Fortunately, no new
buildings are needed. Our physical
plants are up to snuff." Federal cutbacks
in aid to education were part of the
concern, we were told.
Johnny turned 14 in 1986. Looking
ahead to college, his parents were
distraught. Between 1980 and 1986,
-they had seen an average annual increase
in American college tuition fees of 10.6
percent, while the cost of living grew
each year only 4.8 percent, the cost of
medical care 8.5 percent, the cost of
food 3.8 percent, and energy's graph was
flat. Nothing grew faster in cost than
college tuition. Yet Johnny's parents
had been promised that higher education
would be sensitive to their needs.
Then 1987 came, and college costs
increased eight percent while the cost of
living grew only 3.7 percent. But the
American Council on Education said
that college administrators had indicated
increases for 1988 would slow down to
four percent or, at most, five percent.
Johnny could take heart.
But 1988 arrived along with a nine
percent increase, and Johnny's parents
were desperate. Don't blame us, the
colleges said. Blame the government,
blame the high price of energy, blame
our decrepit buildings, blame our
teachers' low salaries, blame anything
you want-but please don't blame our
slovenly ways.
What Johnny and his parents have
wimessed over the course of his short
life is the dismantling of what once was
a respected and productive American
institution. Today, some faculty teach
no courses, many teach only one or
two, and far too many teach only three.
Thousands of others teach less than
their schools say they teach because
they are given reduced leaching load for
almost any reason under the sun. The
newest way to get out of the classroom
is to charge the student for four credits’
tuition but teach only three credits'
worth of time.
In 1980 the average woik load for the
college professor was 10.2 semester
hours; five years later it was 8.4, a 17.6
percent decline in productivity. And for
this our college presidents say we need
huge fee increases year in and year out
to make up for lost time. They must
think of their professors as rare works of
art: the less available they are the more
valuable they become.
Much of the money derived from
those huge tuition increases has gone to
build up the bureaucracy, to hire more
administrators, to hire country club
landscapers, to rent billboards and buy
four-color ads, to move 60 tons of snow
to a college so it can produce an up­scale
brochure, to pul up extravagant
athletic buildings that serve as
marketing showcases, to pay $15,000
for a 15-minute commencement spcech
while bestowing on the speaker an
honorary degree for humane service.
Government aid, or the lack of it, is
blamed every year, but only because
some of us refuse to shoulder our own
excesses. In 1961 the federal
government spent about $400 million
for all student aid excluding that under
the GI Bill. In 1988 it spent about $10
billion, a 2,400 percent increase. If we
throw in subsidized loans, the amount is
closer to $20 billion in student aid.
The government is not the problem;
we are the financial derelicts. Besides,
no government could keep pace with the
overheated, runaway system of higher
education that the United States
currently has.
There are some lean and hardworking
colleges in the United States, but the
profligate ones, public as well as
private, give us all a black eye.
Howard Bowen, the educational
economist, said it best of all, way back
in 1980 when Johnny was only eight.
"Each institution raises all the money it
can. Each institution spends all it raises.
The end result is toward ever-increasing
expenditures."
Since so little of the excessive
increases actually go int beneficial
academic uses, I prefer what Adam
Smith prophetically said long before
Johnny was born: "The discipline of
colleges and universities is in general
contrived not for the benefit of the
students, but for hie interest, or more
properly speaking, for the ease of the
masters."

SUMMARY
News E d ito r
JAM E S FAGAN
P l e a s e E a t T h e D a i s i e s
No sooner had the boozers,
womanizers and greedhcads relumed to
their closets and cloakrooms in the wake
of the failed Tower nomination, making
the world safe for the pure of heart (if
not of motive), than new kinds of good
and bad guys (and gals) started to steal
the headlines. Not only do people have
to watch what they drink nowadays, but
soon it looks as if the press will be
going after those who toss back too
many burgers at Mickey D's after work.
Last week, the Farm Animal Reform
Movement, protesting the exploitation
of barnyard animals, scheduled 500
events nationwide to demonstrate
against hamburgers, wings and things,
milkshakes, butter and various kinds of
grilled cheese sandwiches.
Instead of a sit-in, these animal
rightists scheduled an all "vegan lunch"
for those robust members of Congress
who take their chili with beans, no
meat. No beef, no chicken, not evan
armadillo or rattlesnake. (Bummer!)
It was an inevitable that such things
would happen after certain barbecue
restaurants, even in strongholds like
Texas, Arkansas, Alabama and the
Carolinas, sold out to the weenies who
relish salad bars as places to get an
aliemative meal.
If the moralists don't get you, it
seems, the health brigade will. Fellow
travelers with the animals rights
activists, who arc usually willing to pig
out on fruits and nuts, have had double
trouble these recent days. When the
FDA cautioned against eating fruits
from Chile, that left only oranges,
apples and bananas.
But domestic oranges were lousy this
year. Apples may be sprayed with
daminozide (a suspected carcinogen) and
even those that aren't, like Granny
Smiths, may be imported from Chile.
(The FDA is still tracking them, they
certainly don't come from her orchard in
N.Y. State!) What's left? Oh, bananas.
How many can YOU eat in one day?
So let's sum up. Wc can't cat meats,
we shouldn't eat fruit, we won't eat
bananas. Looks like its time to get used
to eating Jello, folks. Lots of Jello.

Native American
Conference at CSR
By SR. FRANCINE DEMPSEY,
CSJ
Native American art, story-telling,
and life in the twenty-first century are
topics that experts on contemporary
Iroquois socieity and culture will address
at a Conference on Native Americans of
the Northeast Woodlands, to be held at
CSR on Saturday, April 8, 9:30 a.m.
through 3:30 p.m.
This Conference, open to the CSR
community and the General Public, is
of particular importance for students in
the College's education programs.
Cornell University professor Ronald
Lafrance opens the conference with a
keynote address on "The Indian in the
Twenty-First Century: The Next Five
Hundred Years." Lafrance will present
the role of education in the past, current,
and future models of Native American
society and culture. Lafrance says he
chose his topic because "education as a
process has been the socializing
institution of all peoples."
Following Lafrance's presentation,
two panels of distinguished educators
and artists will discuss vital Native
America societal and cultural issues.
Panelists speaking of Iroquois society
include Ray Gonyea, Specialist in
Native American culture at the New
York State Museum Cultural Education

effort, for which we would eventually
earn our $2,000 back through ticket
sales. However, the concert was
cancelled.
Also on the 29th, a survey from Dr.
Cote was filled out. The topic of
concern was spring break.
The spring semiformal is April 21.

Study abroad programs are not
desigend exclusively for foreign languate
majors any more. Students majoring in
English, education, business, history,
art, communications and other fields
also benefit from exposure to other
cultures, the chance to travel, and the
opportunity for personal development.
Americans who are inteculturally aware
are needed in all fields.
Both the number of high quality study
abroad programs and the number of
American students participationg in
them have increased dramatically over
the last five years.
A student who is thinking about
study abroad should gather information
about opportunities which would fit
into his/her acadmic program. He/she
must consult with his/her academic
advisor who will assist him/her with
academic planning.
Information about study abroad
(books, brochures, bibliographies) is
available in the Office of International
Student Programs (4th floor, Neil
Heilman Library). Information about
summer abroad programs is also
available (and deadlines are drawing
near).
It is never too early to begin
planning! Visit the Office of
International Student Programs soon!
Discuss your plans (even if they are still
a bit remote) with your academic advisor
during advisemen^registration in April.

When Robert Means responded to a
call from the New York State Police, he
found somehing that would make health
officials take notice. An entomologist
with The New York State Museum,
Means found evidence that the tick
which carries Lyme disease is spreading
throughout New York State.
Means made the trip to the town of
Carlisle in Schoharie County to
examine a road-killed deer reported by
the police. He has been worldng with
the State Police and the New York Slate
Department of health to share
information on the tick Ix o d e s
dammini, the deer lick that carries ihe
Lyme disease bacterium, in an effort to
determine whether or not it is spreading.
Along with Means, Dr. Dennis
White, Director of the Tick Borne
Disease Institute of the Stale Health
Department, and Dr. John Debbie, also
of the Slate Health Department, have
examined more than 150 deer in the
counties of Albany, Schenectady,
Rensselaer, Schoharie, Saratoga, Fulton
and Montgomery from road-kills and
hunters' check points.
This is the farthest north and the most
inland the lick has been found so far in
New York Slate.
First recognized in 1977 in children
from a neighborhood in the town of
Lyme, Connecticut, for which it is
named, the disease is endemic to the
coastal areas of Connecticut,
Massachusetts and New York. Howfiver,
the tick known to transmit the
bacterium that causes the illness has
become more common throughout the
northeastern United Slates and appears
to be spreading. In 1988 specimens of
the tick were found in Greene,
Rensselaer and Albany Counties, far
north of the coastal areas where it is
abundant
In the riskiest areas, 50 to 80% of the
deer ticks may carry the Lyme disease
bacterium, and less than 30% in other
areas.
More than 2,600 cases of Lyme
disease have been reported to the New
York State Health Department in 1988
alone and more than 6,000 have been
reported since the disease was identified.
This is the first year of a new effort
by the New York State Museum to
investigate the biology of the 21 kinds
of licks known to occur in the state -
including the one that transmits the
Lyme bacterium - and the more than
100 mammals and birds that are host to
them. According to Dr. Norton Miller,
Chief Scientist of the Museum's
Biological Survey, the distribution of
ticks and their hosts in the state has not
been studied since 1945. Significant
changes are likely to have occurred since
then.
Means' search for the deer tick in the
Capital DisU-ict is a pilot study for more
extensive future research. The New Yoric
Stale Museum will seek funding to
launch a thorough study of licks and
their hosts throughout the entire slate.
For more information on the
symptoms, prevention and treatment of
Lyme disease, write Lyme Disease,

Plaza, Albany, New York 12237 and

Science Hall Vending
Machines Offer More Variety
By MARCIA WALKER
In the Science Hall first floor lounge
are two new vending machines and a
microwave. They are available for
student use.
Mary Kalas, Director of Auxiliary
Services & Administrative Services,
coordinated arrangements for the
installation of the microwave, the hot
beverage machine and a different
dispenser of fruit, yogurt and baked
goods. Suidents can use the microwave
to heat food they bring with them or
purchase from the vending machine.
Kalas said it is possible to vend
microwave food. Already microwave
popcorn is available in the candy
vending machine.
Depending on student response
through their purchases, Kalas may add
different selections to the vending
machine. She mentioned hot dogs as an
example of a food item which can be
purchased from the machines and
microwaved.
Kalas added that students can p u rch ^
$25.00 meal tickets for ten percent off.
The tickets are used like cash to
purchase any food/beverage items in the
Camelot Room or the Dining Room on
the upper level of the Campus Center.
Throughout March the tickets were sold
for 20 percent off.

Go on Safari or a Cruise. . .
and Call it Study
By MARCIA WALKER
Jessica Fletcher was in Moscow two
weeks ago. Last year Matlock was in
London. Remember when the Loveboat
cruised to Alaska? And now on Sundays
watch a little Australian lifestyle, by
tuning in your television set to Dolphin
Cove.
But really, if you want to
experience Australian lifestyle this
summer you can go there. Blink. Yes,
you can visit that country or others
which you’ve seen on the big screen.
Remember the scenery in "Out Of
Africa". Through Traveleam, a national
organization which schedules trips for
college students, faculty, any adult
interested in travel and learning
opportunities, you can expand your
horizons by voyaging to Kenya, for
example. Go to the cities you have read
about in your literature classes, or
studied through the international studies
concentration.
According to Beryl Heidom, Associate
Dean of Adult and Continuing
Education, "Traveleam is cooperatively
offering students at many colleges a
quality educational travel oppoiiunity."
"participants...return home
with a broader and deeper
appreciation for the area . . .
visited."
The participants in the coliegc-sponsored
programs developed by
Traveleam return home with a broader
and deeper appreciation for the area they
have visited. They prepare for the U'ips
by completing pre-travel readings. Then,
they combine that knowledge with
individualized programming which
includes lectures and seminars by in­country
resource people. "Also, the
travelers benefit from extensive field
experiences at sites and facilities often
not available to the average tourist,"
said Heidom.
This summer, eleven three-week long
escorted tours will be leaving for China,
Alaska, Galapagos Islands, Kenya,
Russia and Australia.

The third Imagination Celebration
"Student Press Corps Program" was
held at the College of Saint Rose on
March 2nd, 10th, and 16th. The
program, co-sponsored by WNYT-13
"For Kids Sake Program" and Metroland
News, gathered students from grades 5th
trhough 8th from schools around the
capital region. "The Student Press
Corps Program" consists of three
workshops in which students, two from
every school that participates, learn how
to put together a newspaper by actually
doing it themselves.
All of the workshops were held in St.
Joseph's Auditorium, the first of which
placed students in groups according to
five areas of newspaper writing:
community arts reporting, political
p e r sp e c tiv e s , a rts rev iew ,
ad/composition, and photography.
Metroland staff played an instrumental
role in the program by acting as editors
of the program, giving each group a
weekly assignment.
The second and third workshops
expanded on the first and students
worked with their editors discussing
their assignments. Also, the managing
editor of Metroland, Steven Leon, gave
a lecture on newspaper publication,
giving students valuable information on
the proccss. About 16 of the 47 students
who participated took on a special
assignment with some of the College of
Saint Rose’s art majors. The students
attended the senior art show under the
direction of Susan Mehalick, the
Mcu-oland art critic, who helped students
critique art works. Then the students
invited those in the art show to attend
lunch. Later students got hands-on
experience by actually interviewing
artists on a one-to-one basis.
While all of this occurred, other
students were busy doing such activities
as interviewing WNYT-13 staff and
politicians such as Senator Tarky
Lombardi, Jr., Assemblyman William
F. Passannante, and Chief Justice Sol
Wachtler who attended interview
sessions. Students working on
production aspects learned about graphic
composition and layout.
The final outcome of all the
workshops will be a supplement of an
upcoming Metroland newspaper called
"Imagi-News". The supplement will
display the student's work in putting the
paper togeher, including articles,
advertisement, photographs and layout
and graphics done by the students. Karen
Philips, coordinator of the Student Press
Corps, says, "The kids had a well-rounded
picture of what it was all
about". Holding the event at smaller
places in previous years, she said that
students enjoyed the great deal of space
the auditorium provided. Philips also
said, "I think students enjoyed being on
a college campus for the program".
After talking with students. Philips
found that, "...the thing they enjoyed
most was meeting your student artists".
She went on to say that although both
parties mentioned they were initially
nervous about the interviews, everyone
seemed to enjoy the experience. "Saint
Rose was a wonderful host for our
program".

What does it take to get to the Final
Four?
Illinois. Michigan. Seton Hall. Duke.
Four distinctly different teams. But they
all found their way to Seattle. Final
Four teams come in different shapes and
sizes.
Seton Hall was an ugly team that
won ugly throughout the tournament.
Duke was the seasoned bunch. Illinois
had the great athletes with emotions
running high. And Michigan was the
team that overcame controversy (Coach
Bill Frieder’s departure) to make it to
Seattle.
There is no real explanation for why a
team wins a national championship. A
lot of clubs ride emotion all the way to
the title, like N.C. State in 1983 and
Villanova in 1985. Some clubs are
simply too powerful and well-coached,
like Indiiana in 1987 or the great UQ-A
teams of the early 70’s.
The national champion is very often
not the best team in the nation. They're
simply the bes^team in the nation for
six games. Twb weeks. A winning
streak. That's all it really is. A team
like Georgetown had no problem
stringing together six victories during
the regular season. And Syracuse
consistently has some of the best talent
in the nation. But in the tournament...
A lot of teams have the talent to win
it all but very few believe they can. A
few bad breaks in the first half and,
well, it starts to look like "this just
isn't the year." After a rigorous regular
season and conference tournaments,
some team's spirits are easily broken.
Siena, for instance, gave everything
they had in a shocking first>round
victory over Stanford. Minnesota, the
team that beat Siena in the second
round, was not nearly as good as
Sanford. It seems Siena got to the
second round and said, "Hey, wait a
minute, what are we doing here?" n
By now we know who has been
crowned national champion. But, in all
likelihood, we probably don't know who
the best team in the nation is. All we
know is that somebody won six games
in a row at the right time.
Another fallen hero in the world of
sports. Wade Boggs was basically a
nympho, he now admits. L.T. was (is?)
a substance abuser. Dwight Gooden was
on coke, too. And now it seems, Pete
Rose, the all-time major league hit
leader, is a gambler. Has been one for a
long time, some reports say. May have
even bet on baseball games involving
the team he manages, the Cincinnati
Reds.
So what's the big deal? I mean, hey,
the guy likes to go to the dogtrack or
the horsetrack. So what?
Well, I'm sure any reformed gambler
would say that the habit doesn't just
stay in a tidy comer of one's life. You
don't just leave it at the dogtrack. That's
why I wouldn't put betting on baseball
games past Pete Rose.
Rose is the classic case of a sports
figure who thinks that because he is a
legend in the game, he can do anytnmg
he wants. Hey, who would point the
finger at me? I'm Pete Rose for
christsakes.

Village Soccer Club got their
money’s worth from their entrance fee.
The two teams that the club entered
took first and second place in the Second
Annual St. Rose/Soccer Unlimited
Indoor Soccer Tournament at the
Activities Center Gym March 11.
Village 2, led by former U.S.
womens' national team member Bets>
Drambour, was the winner with a 5-1
record. Their only loss came to runner-ups
Village 1, a 4-0 shutout in the fu-st
game of the tournament.
A scrappy and aggressive SUNY-Albany
team took third place, followed
by Niskayuna High School, Soccer
Unlimited 1 (St. Rose), Scotia High
School, and the other St. Rose entry.
Soccer Unlimited 2.
Soccer Unlimited 1 had the better
potential of the two St. Rose enu-ics,
with Wendy Barker, Nancy Kolbcr and
Beth Cater leading that team. They
never seemed to hit full stride, except
for their 4-0 defeat of Scotia. The Scotia
match presented extra incentive for
Barker and Cater, who graduated from
the school in 1986 and 1987,
respectively.
Soccer Unlimited 1 also performed
well in a 3-0 loss to SUNY-Albany and
a 5-3 loss to Village 1. Both matches
were com p e titiv e , physical
contests—with referee George June red
carding (disqualifying) Lesa Amato and a
SUNY player in one game—but St.
Rose came up short both times.
Soccer Unlimited 2 were never in any
of their matches, and ended up scoring
only four goals.
CSR Women's Soccer Coach and
Tournament Organizer John Pauley was
pleased with the overall results. "Some
coaches complaincd about the referees,
but 1 don't think that there was much of
a problem with the refs," Pauley said.
The referees (besides June) were Rich
Hayes, Kevin Baker and Bill Eipp.
There were a few injuries that caused
extended pauses in play, including one
player who cut her leg on an outlet. The
injury was not serious, however, and the
remainder of the injuries were those that
could be expected from playing on a
very hard gym floor.
Hopefully, the tournament will be
able to draw a dozen teams next, and
increase the level of competition.
Overall, the level of play increased from
last year, and, with any luck, the same
thing will happen next year.

Rose has always had few redeeming
qualities aside from his ability to hit
like a titan. One time, he successfully
shortened his friend Ray Fosse's career
by barrelling into the Oakland catcher in
the meaningless All-Star Game. Fosse
suffered from back trouble after the
incident and was never the same. Rose
expressed no remorse about the incident.
After Atlanta Braves pitchers stifled
Rose’s 44-game hitting streak in 1978,
he bitterly comnplained that Gene
Garber and others were pitching "like it
was the World Series or something."
God forbid anyone should show the
same desire in getting Pete Rose out
that Pete Rose shows in getting hits.
Nearly ten years ago. Rose left his
wife and two children for a much
younger woman. Later he would call his
son Pete Jr. "a queer" in public and his
daughter would refer to him as "the
world's worst father."
So can we ignore all this and still
salute Pete Rose as a baseball player?
Maybe. But sports aren't that important.
It's hard to respect the baseball talent of
someone you don't respect as a person.
Pete Rose is a legend in Cincinnati.
A hometown boy who went on to
become one of the best hitters we've
ever seen. Unfortunately, that image
will have a bearing on the severity of
Rose's punishment should he be found
quilty of betting on baseball. It will
also have an effect on whether he keeps
his job as manager of the Reds.
Some will say, "Let's keep players'
personal lives separate from their
baseball lives." Yeah, right. Let's not
take a good, hard look at Dan Quayle's
p e rso n a l life , e ith e r. Not
possible."When I plunk down 10 or 15
bucks to watch a sporting event. I'd like
to think that the players whose salaries
I'm paying are at least decent people.
Sadly, those people in Cincinnati and
around the country who are enamored
with and devoted to Pete Rose are blind
to the fact that 4,256 hits can’t be
cashed in for a lick of human decency.

Albany Symphony preformed
arrangements featuring Australian
composers, and were conducted by
Australian-born conductor Geoffery
Simon. Antil, Barbar and Mahler pieces
were nroformed, vvilh accompaniment by
the beautiful soprano voice of Marilyn
Richardson.
A reception was held afterwards in the
Albany Center Galleries, which
showcased Australian epicurean fare, as
well as champagne and beer of that
country. In the above photo, CSR

Robert Longo with student organizers Margaret Tyier, Cathy Jones
and Thomas Laii.
By THOMAS LAIL
Artist Robert Longo exploded onto
the New York art scene at the end of the
last decade. Since that time, the phrase
"meditations on power" has often been
used in association with his rather
enviable body of work. Long's twisting,
contorted figures depleted in large scale
charcoal and graphite drawings, his
monumental mixed-media combines
and, of late, his increasingly non-representational
sculptures ring of a
monolithic coporate entity that threatens
the very existence of the individual.
Making a rare lecture appearance at
The College of Saint Rose last
Wednesday, Longo led the packed
audience through a multi-media tour de
force that encompassed virtually every
aspect of his prolific career. What
became most apparent through the
lecture was Longo's intense energy and
deep commitment to his work.
Longo first caught the collective eye
of the art world with his "Men in the
Cities" series. Comprised of larger than
life drawings of writhing downtown
denizens and sleek architectural reliefs,
"Men in the Cities" and the subsequent
"Corporate Wars" series made use of
what Longo describes as "two
overlooked mediums" at a time when
Neo-Expressionist painting was
reaching its height of popularity.
It was the meshing of those drawings
that led to Longo's next body of work;
what he loosely entitles "Combines."
These combines took on even greater
proportions (some pieces measuring up
to a monumental thirty-five feet in
length) and made use of virtually every
medium and material imaginable. To
enable such diversity, Longo began
employing a team of assistants, thus
allowing his vision to extend beyond

the boundaries of his own expertise.
A biography of this scale would be
sufficient for most, but for Longo,
perhaps the quintessential eighties
encamation of the Renaissance man, his
biography further extends to
performance art. Performances such as
"Sound Distance of a Good man",
"Empire" and "Killing Angels" have
been staged at such locations at the
Corcharan Gallery in Washington D.C.
and Buffalo Stale College. Of late, this
interest has led to Longo's increasing
involvement in video and film
production. Videos produced by Longo
for such bands as New Order and REM
eschew the semi-nude blonde on a car
hood cliche to favor a barrage of
strangely disjointed images that
facilitate an almost free association with
the music. "I hate MTV", Longo
asserted at one point during the hour and
a half lecture, "It's racist, it's sexist and
I hate the idea that the videos attempt to
control what the music looks like"; to
which the audience responded with a
cascade of applause. Indeed, Longo's
evocative, high-speed edit videos may be
one of the few creative justifications for
MTV's continued existence.
Longo made the move to film
production with last year’s "Arena
Brains." The short film, about thirty
minutes, stars such Longo affiliates as
performer Eric Bogosian and REM
vocalist Michael Stipe. It depicts a
night in the lives of several downtown
inhabitants (including a Longo-esque
artist) and has managed to attract
funding for Longo's first full-blown
film which he describes as "a low
budget science fiction film."
Robert Longo's seemingly limitless
energy, evidenced in his lecture as well
as his work, promises to continue
intriguing audiences of whatever
medium he chooses to work and, in the
aftermath of his lecture, one can only
wonder - what next?

In other English Club News, the club
is planning to attend a performance of
Neil Simon's Biloxi Blues at Capital
Rep. Although a block of tickets is
being purchased soon, the club might
have an extra ticket or two if you are
interested. The performance is Sunday,
May 7 at 2:30 PM. The exact cost of
tickets is not known at this time, but
they will probably be between twelve
and fifteen dollars. This may sound
expensive, but the reputation of this
little theater is great
The club will also be sponsoring a
night at the movies. Plans call for
renting a couple of popular films and
getting together somewhere on campus
for a night away from text books.
Specifics have not been set yet, but
look for signs soon if you are interested
in attending.

Time for a kinder, gentler column. I'd
like to apologize to a couple of people
who may have been embarrassed as a
result of last week's column.
I'm sorry folks, I kinda spouted off.
Just letting off steam. Sorry, Mom and
Dad, you didn't raise me to be that way.
On to other matters. Did everyone
enjoy Mr. & Mrs. CSR? Congrats to
Kristi and Paul.
Finally got a new picture. I know it's
a senior picture but it was the only
thing available.
The Executive Sports Editor of the
Times Union wrote a nice little
propagandist editorial on how RPI
hockey coach Mike Addesa should be
fired for saying what he said. Yes, what
the coach said was wrong, but
something is wrong with his critic.
How many sports writers at the
Times Union are black? I'd really like to
know. I haven't heard of any. Let ye
without sin... 'Nuff said.
Let's get down to some fun and be
April Fools. Good night Amer-, wait.
I'm not done yet After all, I did promise
a kinder, gentler column.
As spring fever sets in and G-day
approaches, I realize I have but two
more columns after this. It soon will be
time to thank everyone who has made
my years here at CSR the best they
could be. It wasn't too long ago when I
was stepping off the stage in high
school. Time sure flies. 'Member what I
said about thinking about tomorrow?
Guilty as charged.
Remember the column last week on
Grego? He thanks me by calling me a
jerk on the radio. You’re a class act,
Grego, low class. I AM a jerk but that's
none of your business. Boy that really
gets me.
Anyway, back lo the kinder and
gentler stuff. Read any good James

Human civilization is afraid of space.
In space, the body is able to redeem
itself from the constraints of societal
conditions. It is where the Beautiful
may take place. Civilization intervenes
to close space and to define it.
Institutions come into existence in order
to discharge the unlimited energies of an
emancipated space. They, the
institutions, transform space into a
closed arena where the "socially accepted
symbols" can thrive, encircle and
control any phenomenon which u-ies to
defy spati^ limitations.
One of the symbols is the institution
of marriage. Within the family, one
learns to ingrain in his/her psyche social
and political myths. One learns to
believe in the "necessity" of command
and authority. Within marriage,
sexuality is regulated. Sexuality is to be
a taboo. To de-eroticize is to construct a
carefully watched space. The erotic
element belongs to Nature and since
human beings are a part of Nature, the
need arises for an institution like
marriage and an occasional outburst of
frustrated sexuality like "the sexual
revolution,"
In conclusion, the institution of
marriage is conservative. Even though
most people enter it with "expectations"
and "romantic notions of family life,"
the process itself will eventually
conform the majority. I think that the
body should resurrect itself from all the
shackles of society, and declare a world
of Joy, Sensuality, and Attachment

This past year there has been much
media attention paid to "Global
Warming." What is it? What causes it?
How will it change bur world?
The average temperature of the Earth’s
atmosphere is maintained by a system
in which the amount of energy the Earth
absorbs from the sun, primarily as
visible and ultraviolet radiation, is
balanced by the amount radiated back
into space as degraded infrared radiation
or heat. Water vapor, carbon dioxide,
and trace amounts of other gases such as
ozone in the troposphere, nitrous oxide,
methane, and chlorofluorocarbons
(CFS's) play a key role in this
temperature regulation process.
A warming action, commonly called
the greenhouse effect, occurs when the
resulting heat buildup raises the
temperature of the air in the lower
atmosphere. These gases have seen
increased levels as a result of hman
industry and agriculture. Kevin Gannon,
a CSR faculty member in the science
department, defined global warming as
"The overall average surface
temperatures of the Earth increasing as
compared to past decades or centurics. If
the overall average temperature is a half
of a degree higher over a 5 or 10 year
period, that is global warming."
In global warming there's no need to
worry about drastic change in
temperature. "It's a long gradual change,
but the problem is that once you’ve
suspected the change has occurred there
is really no way to reverse it. It’s easy
to ignore for a long time until it's bad,"
but the gradual effects of global
warming will build and scientists won’t
be able to fix the results. Scientists
point out that the five warmest years in
history have occurrcd in the late 1980's.
Most scientists estimate the Earth will
warm on the average of 3-8 degrees
Fahrenheit by the middle of the next
century.
This accelcraied warming could cause
a rise in ocean level up to six fet, a shift
in farming areas, cause droughts, shrink
forests, and increase the demand for air
conditioners which contain CPC’s.
When CFC’s escape into the
aunosphere they increase the greenhouse
effect by trapping heat and destroying
the ozone. The ozone layer located in
the stratosphere is vital to the well
being of plants and animals bccause it
blocks harmful rays coming from the
sun. "We do know for sure that CFC's
break down ozone." We must accept the
fact that the threat to the ozone layer is
a global problem, whose disastrous
effects know no national boundaries.
"Over the long term the whole world
has to do something," slates Kevin
Gannon. Under an international treaty
known as the Montreal Protocol, about
thirty industrial nations, including the
United States, have agreed to reduce
CFC use by roughly 50% by the end of
the century. But recent studies indicate
that this 50% reduction may not be
enough to stop the damage being done
to our earth's protective ozone layer and
Pornography
Leads to Violence
By BARBARA CURTIN
Ted Bundy confessed to the brutal
murders of 23 young women, and is
believed to have killed at least another
dozen. All of his victims were sexually
abused and then mutilated. For his
crimes, he was tried, convicted,
sentenced to death, and electrocuted in
Rorida on January 24th.
Less than 24 hours before his
execution, this convicted killer asked to
be interviewed by Dr. James Dobson, a
professional psychologist who leads
Focus on the Family, a publishing and
film-producing ministry. Dr. Dobson
also served as a member of the 1985-86
Attorney General's Commission on
Pornoghraphy -- the Meese
Commission — and has long been a
student of the effects of pornography.
During the thirty-five minute
interview, Bundy discussed having come
from "a fine, Christian home," but also
having encountered outside his home at
age 12 or 13 "soft-core pornography"
that was available at the local grocery
store. Stimulated by it, he and his
companions eventually came into
contact with "pornographic books of a
harder nature...that involve violence and
sexual violence."
Although he refused to blame
pornography fully as the cause of his
horrifying criminal behavior, he
nevertheless claimed that, once started,
he "would keep looking for more
potent, more explicit, more graphic
kinds of material." Then, continuing,
"You reach that jumping-off point
where you begin to wonder if maybe
. ■. t t . ’ - ■ 4»» 'ijil* A C • - u
actually doing it will give you that
which is beyond just reading a ^ u t it or
looking at it" Finally, in his own case,
the "infiuence of pornography ... was an
indispensable link in the chain of events
that led to the behavior, the assaults, the
murders."
Asked by Dr. Dobson to sum up his
feelings, Bundy staled: "I have lived in
prison for a long lime now, and I've met
a lot of men who were motivated to
commit violence just like me. And
without exception, everyone of them
was deeply involved in pornography..."
Shortly after this inteview was
published, the New York Times
gave space on its prestigious op-ed page
for a rebuttal by "adult entertainment"
publisher A1 Goldstein. Disputing
Bundy’s claim that soft-core
pornography was a doorway to hard­core,
violence-depicting material, and
that it, in turn, leads some persons to
sexual savagery, pornography merchant
Goldstein insisted that the executed
killer was a "liar," that censorship was
the "implicit message" of the
remarkable interview, and that
wallowing hin his kind of slop actually
"reduced aggressive tendencies in people
prone to them." Incredible!
What Goldstein conveniently ignored,
and what the Times allowed him to
ignore, is the simple fact that sexually
explicit photos and dialogue are intended
to cause excitement. Why else do people
buy it? The dictionary defines
pornography as "the depiction of erotic
behavior intended to cause sexual
excitement" Just as depiction of

They were nice though, as long as you
don't mind inane conversation about
such interesting things as who Billy
Idol set up for cocaine possession this
month or what happened on "Growing
Pains" last night.
The big moment arrived; the frat
house goons in security shirts began to
let the teeming throng through. Once
we got past the metal detector it was
smooth sailing.
Finally the big moment arrived,
Queensryche took the stage. The music
starved audience went nuts. The band
played songs from their new album
Operation Mindcrime plus other songs
from previous albums. Fact is, they
could have played Mary Had a Little
Lamb and this crowd would have loved
it (as long as it was loud). Queensryche
put on a hell of a show but we were
still secretly glad when they left; after
all, we were here to see Metallica.
I could tell from the moment of the
first explosion that Metallica was going
to be everything I expected and much
more. For starters they are THE
LOUDEST BAND I HAVE EVER
HEARD!!! Did I emphasize that
enough? We’re talking ears that would
not stop ringing for a solid week. The
volume and stage presence of this band
was truly mesmerizing. All one could
do is stare at the stage. Actually if you
weren't paying attention, some blood
sucking freak of nature would mosh at
you. For those of you not familiar with
the world of thrash, moshing is where
you try your hardest to destroy
everything in a 30-foot radius around
and including yourself. By midway
through the concert the frat house
security goons had "removed" the bad
apples from the crowd. After that the
concert went off without a hitch. I said
earlier that Queensryche put on a hell of
a show; well, Metallica made them look
like Stan Kowalskistein and his ukelele,
harmonica and accordion band.
Take my advice; buy a flak jacket and
go see Metallica. It's worth the ten to
fifteen percent hearing loss and multiple
contusions you are going to have
afterwards.

Bull Durham" and the Church
of Baseball
By JERRY H. GILL
In spite of all the hoopla that other
movie received, the truly significant
religious film of last summer was "Bull
Durham." It's been simmering on my
back burner for over two months,
waiting for its multifarious richness to
congeal into a meaningful pattern. I
offer the following reflections as an
initial approach to this hilarious, deep,
and superbly crafted phenomenon. In my
view, "Bull Durham" presents and
probes the fabric of human existence in
the mythic level. In addition, it does so
in a mode which is at once religious and
secular, at the intersection of the cosmic
and the mundane. Thus its incredibly
widespread and long lasting appeal - its
scenes and characters refuse to go away.
No wonder it won the Best Screenplay
Award from both the New York and
Los Angeles film critics!
First off, consider the main characters.
At the axis of the story stands Ebby
Calvin "Nuke" Laloosh, the neophyte
ballplayer who presents himself as a
candidate for training that will lead to
the big leagues, or "The Show." He has
the qualities and innocence requisite for
such a journey, but he lacks the wisdom
and dedication. The film traces the
various trials and exercises through
which he must travel to gain the athletic
equivalent of Nirvana. He is put through
his lessons by two Masters, each of
whom fulfills a crucial if conflicting
function in this pilgrim's progress.
On the one hand, there is Annie
Savoy, the High Priestess of "The
Church of Baseball." The film opens
with a statement of her creed: "I believe
in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all
the major religions and most of the
minor ones - I've worshipped Buddha,
Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees,
mushrooms and Isadora Duncan...I
know things. For instance, there are 108
beads in a Catholic rosary and there are
108 stitches in a baseball. When I
learned that, I gave Jesus a chance - but
it just didn't work out between us... The
Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer
metaphysics to theology. You see,
there's no guilt in baseball - and it’s
never boring."
Annie not only has a creed, she has
many metaphysical theories and
practices which constitute the lessons
and passageways through which Nuke
must pass on his way to
Enlightenment He must learn to breath
through his eyelids like a Mayan
(Aztec?) Lava Lizard, think with the
right side of his brain (like an artist),
with the help of Annie’s garterbelt, and
channel his sexual energies into his
activity as a pitcher.
But first he must get in touch with
his sexuality and bring it to a level of
spirituality that is commensurate with
big league quality and performance. This
involves becoming aware of the
difference between the "wham, bam,
thank you, ma'am" approach and that
described by Walt Whitman’s song of
"the body electric." Learning to prize the
process as well as the product, and to
take responsibility for one's actions and
relationships, are essential features in
the "initiation rites" presided over by
Annie Savoy (from "Savoir"?). This
stress on discipline and responsibility is
focused in Annie's response to young
Millie, her female initiate, when she
seeks to excuse her lateness by claiming
to have been "lured" into sexual
activity. Annie says: "You didn't get
'lured.' Women never get lured. They're
too strong and powerful for that. Now
say it - 'I didn't get lured and I will take
responsibility for my actions'."
On the other side stands C ra sh
Davis, the Shaman-disguised-as-catcher
who is brought in to teach young Nuke
the hard realities and subtleties of
professional baseball. While Annie
seeks to build the rookie's confidence
and inner wisdom. Crash aims at
breaking down his arrogance and making
him aware of his limitations. His
modus operandi is to keep Nuke off
balance by belittling and tricking him
into following orders, and focusing his
attention and abilities. His nickname for
the youngster is "Meat," and whenever
his authority is questioned he tells the
opposing batter what to expect on the
next pitch - and then laughs it all off in
an endearing sort of way.
The closest parallel to the interaction
between Crash and Nuke may be that
between Don Juan and Carlos Castaneda
in the latter's books about the Yaqui
way of knowledge. The whole purpose
of such spiritual apprenticeship is to
achieve self-understanding by having
one's perceptual and conceptual
categories rearranged. Nuke keeps asking
questions like: "What's this guy know,
eh? If he's so great, why's he been in the
Minors for ten years?" and "Why's he

A n O f f i c e r ' s P o i n t o f V i e w
Many times during a student's college
career they find that their financial aid is
in a constant state of flux. There are a
number of reasons why this happens. It
is important for students to realize that
the Financial Aid Office is essentially
the keeper of the Federal and State
government's funds; as such we are
heavily constrained by federal and state
regulations.
Unfortunately, as financial aid officers
we are often placed in situations where
regulations mandate that we revise and
adjust student aid packages. Frequently,
students receive verifications that one or
more of their awards have been adjusted
and oftentimes this can be upsetting.
We realize that students live on very
tight budgets and rely very heavily on
their financial aid. When adjustments are
made, we try to make them in the
student's best interest, always adjusting
student loans or work funds before
Grant-In-Aid, whenever possible.
Another point we want to make is
that throughout the entire financial aid
cycle changes in information, lack of
information, or failure to respond to
requests can result in a decrease or total
loss of an award. It is the sole
responsibility of the student to follow
up on all of their financial aid awards,
failure to do so could result in severe
financial problems.
The Financial Aid Office should
always be kept updated with changes ih
a student's financial situation, even
those that may seem trivial. We are very
concerned about students contemplating
leaving CSR for financial reasons,
please stop by to see us first, we will do
our best to try and help you. We are
located on the second floor of Scanlon
Hall and are open from 8:30 to 4:30
Monday through Friday, even during the
summer! Please feel free to schedule an
appointment or simply stop by to chat
about any financial concerns you may
have. We provide a student service and
are here to serve you.
We’ll end with a quote from Terrel H.
Bell, former U.S. Secretary of Education
during President Reagan's first term. In
an interview with the Student Aid
Magazine Transcript he stated, "Some of
the finest support we get comes from
the student aid office, from people who
have almost a missionary commitment
to their work."
F i n a n c i a l A i d f o r P a r t -
t i m e S t u d e n t s
Did you know that as a part-time
student you may be eligible to receive
financial aid? In order to be considered
for financial aid you must be
matriculated and registered for at least
six credit hours per s^ este r. Part-time
students must follow the same
procedures as a full-[time student in
applying for financial aid.
The folllowing types of aid are
available to part-time students:
1. FEDERAL AID: PELL Grant,
Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant, College Work Study, Perkins
Loan, Stafford Loan, and the
Supplemental Loan for Students.
2. N.Y. STATE AID: A.P.T.S. -
Aid for Part-Time Study - students may
be eligible to receive up to $1,000 per
semester.
Applications for all the above types
of financial aid are available in the
Financial Aid Office, second floor.
Scanlon Hall.
Because withdrawing or changing
enrollment status directly impacts on
financial aid. Federal Regulations
mandate that students are responsible for
and required to notify the Financial Aid
Office of any changes in enrollment.
W i t i i d r a w a l o r C h a n g e i n
E n r o l l m e n t S t a t u s
You must strictly adhere to the
institution's drop/add and withdrawal
procedures. PLEASE NOTE: If a
student decides to leave the College
between semesters or at any time,
he/she must officially notify the Office
of the Undergraduate Dean or Graduate
Dean. At the beginnning of each
semester, enrollment status will be
verified for accuracy. If there are any
changes noted, the student's financial aid
will be adjusted accordingly. Financial
aid awards will be prorated for students
who reduce their course loads to less
than full-time (6-11 credits) and awards
will be deleted for students who fail to
comply with the 1/2 time (6 credits)
minimum requirement. Portions of the
Stafford Loan (GSL) may need to be
returned to the bank.

U p t o $ 3 . 7 5
Beginning with the Fall 1989 term
the hourly wage paid to students
working on campus under the Federal
College Workstudy Program will be
increased to $3.75 per hour. The
decision to increase the hourly wage is a
result of discussions among the
Adminisu*ation and Faculty conccrning
student employment issues.
It is hoped that this increase will be
an incentive for students to work on
campus. It is a well known fact that
many of the departments on campus rely
very heavily on workstudy students to
assist with daily operations. So, to
those students already working we say
"thank you" and keep up the good work.
And, to those students who for one
reason or another are not participating in
the workstudy program, we ask that you
give it some thought for 1989-90. We
realize that Federal Financial Aid
Regulations prohibit some students
from working, but for those who are
eligible, the workstudy program can be
an invaluable experience, enabling
students to earn money while learning
marketable job skills. Many students
work in positions applicable to their
area of study and list their workstudy
positions as work experience on their
resume. College worlwtudy supervisors
also can be used for'references when
applying for future jobs.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC
PROGRESS
All students receiving federal, state
and/or institutional financial aid must
make satisfactory academic progress in
accordance with the policy set forth in
the CSR catalog in order to retain their
financial aid.

Gannon points out that he is a
pessimist, when he says that "maybe
we'll be lucky and things will take care
of themselves. There are hypotheses that
say the earth itself is a giant mechanism
that can handle its pollution and I think
it's done amazingly well for the billions
of years it has been here. But man
comes along, and we start making new
artificial compounds that have never
existed before. I don't know how well
Mother Nature is at breaking down what

36 days to go...
No news for you this week. I'm just
gonna run off at the mouth.
—SPIN'S fourth anniversary issue
has its list of the top rock records of all
time. "Sgt. Pepper's" isn't even in the
top 25, and George Michael is on the
list. Gee, they know as much about
rock 'n' roll as...Billboard.
—^PYX 106's Lisa Walker is leaving
the area for a Nashville station. No
stopping her until she's in New York, I
guess. Best wishes, Lisa.
"Mandinka" Sinead O'Connor-A pop
breakthrough? A great song, artist and
album, yes, but I don't think that the
leather bra she wore at the Grammys
captured that raw sexuality aspect she
may have been looking for...
"Come Out Fighting" Easterhouse-an
enjoyable song. Watch out for this
group.
"She Won't Talk to Me" Luther
Vandross—You can always count on
Luther to give black radio some good
material.
"Nightmares" Violent Femmes-The
Milwaukee trio is back, and this one is
well worth the wait.
"Like a Prayer" Madonna-"It's got a
good beat and you can dance to it..." As
with her last two albums, the first
single is nice and sugary, but the third
and fourth singles should reveal obvious
flaws in the album. Nonetheless, her
records will go down as some of the
most influential ones of the 80's.
"Dreamin'" Vanessa Williams-She
certainly deserved her Grammy
nominations. I'll take her over Whitney
What's-her-name any day.
"A Second Chance" Thirty Eight
Speciai-This moody, slow, very out of
character ballad from the Wild Eyed
Southern Boys will give their "Rock 'n'
Roll Strategy" album another chance.
"Patience" Guns N' Roses—Fine
acoustic single.
"Cult of Personality" Living Colour-
It's finally a hit after about six months
of wailing. What look radio so long?
"Don't Tell Me Lies" Breathe-The
wimps finally put out something that
doesn't fall through your fingers.
"When Love Comes to Town"
U2/B.B. King—B.B. sounds great, but
Bono shouldn't sing the blues.
"Circle" Edie Brickell and the New
Bohemians-an outpouring of emotion

As Shaman, Crash, too, has a creed.
He recites it early-on in the film: "I
believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy,
the small of a woman's back, the
hanging curve ball, high fiber, good
scotch, long foreplay, show tunes, and
that the criticism of Susan Sonlag is
self-indulgent, over-rated crap. I believe
that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone; I
believe there ought to be a
constitutional amendment outlawing
Astro-lurf and the designated hitter; I
believe in the "sweet spot," voting
every election, soft core pornography,
chocolate chip cookies, opening your
presents on Christmas morning rather
than Christmas Eve, and 1 believe in
long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that
last for three days."
The crucial thing lo notice here is that
in contrast to Annie's theooretical and
abstract creed. Crash's statement of
belief is concrete and pragmatic. One
might say that Annie's posture is
vertical and olher-worldly, while lhat of
Crash is horizontal and ihis-worldly.
Both, however, are aimed at
accomplishing the same end, and
although there is some conflict between
the two, in the final analysis they
function in a symbiotic, complementary
way to make Nuke ready for his re-birili
into "the Bigs."
Pornograpiiy . . .
Continued from page 9
appetizing food will stimulate salivary
glands and heighten the craving for food,
erotic material will start a normal
human being to think about sexual
satisfaction.
Once stimulated, some will descend
further into the world of hard-core,
violence-suggesting material. And it
shouldn't require much common sense
to conclude that some of pornography's
captives would then act out their
fantasies and seek satisfaction, even
employing force and violence to do so.
In 1986, the Meese Commission
concluded that most pornography "bears
some relationship to the level of sexual
violence" in our nation. Ted Bundy's
comments have the ring of Uuth. The
pornographer who labels his smut
"adult" or "mature" entertainment, and
who insists that he does society no
harm is the liar. He is also a stimulator
of some forcible rape, some bestiality,
some woman and child abuse, and some
avage murders.
