Maintenance personnel were called
to the Campus Center basement in the
early hours of January 26 to mop the
latest flood.
At 6:00am Saint Rose security
officer noticed a stream of water
pouring off the loading dock on the
Western Ave side o f the Campus
Center.
Upon entering the security officer
noticed that the water was coming form
the Camelot room. After attempting to
contact ARA the officer ended up
forcing the back door of the Camelot
room to find the source of the water
leak.
The leak was from a water pipe
under a sink in the Camelot room that
had evidentially frozen and burst.
Corky Shelton who o v ersees
maintenance at the college estimated
that the water had been flowing since
midnight Saturday.
Maintenance crews were in the
Campus Center basement form 6:30 am
until 2:00pm mopping up the four
inches of water that had accumulated.
The most extensive damage was
centered in the Publica^tions office in
the basement. The office, which is
used by the Student Events Board, the
yearbook (Reflections), Xanadu, and
The Chronicle, had its copy machine
heavily damaged.

concentration camp after spending two
years hiding form the Nazis. "Anne
Frank in the World: 1929-1945"
Exhibit will visit Saint Joseph's
Auditorium at The College of Saint
Rose from February 13 through March
17.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank, their two
daughters, Anne and Margot, and Mr.
and Mrs. Van Pelz along with their son
Peter, shared the cramped two room
quarters of a "Secret Annex” in Frank
Otto's warehouse. A middle-aged
dentist, Albert Dussel, joined them two
months into their confinement. These
eight inhabitants tried for two years to
escape the persecution that so many of
the Jewish people firom during the reign
of Hitler in Germany.
Anne Kept up with her school
studies during this time with her father
as her tutor. Along with the diary that
she kept daily (later published as The
Diary of Anne Frank), she wrote many
fables, short stories reminiscences f(xin
childhood, essays, and an unfinished
novel.
On August 4, 1944 the hiding
place was raided and the soldiers took all
of them as prisoners. Anne Frank died
of typhoid fever in the concentration in
March 1945, two months before the
(jerman surrender.
The only survivor from the
annex was Anne's father Otto Frank.
Miep Gies, one of the Dutch women
that helped to hide the Frank family,
found Anne’s work that the soldiers left
behind. Her father had her diary
published two years after her death.
Since then, the diary has been translated
into over forty languages, has been
made into a Pulitzer Prize winning
play, and has been made into a motion
picture. Today, Anne Frank is a major
symbol for all people who are
persecuted because of prejudice.
"Anne Frank in the World:
1929-1945" Exhibit wiU have over 800
pictures and a model of the "Secret
Annex." Manuscripts of Anne's work
and other information about the
holocaust will be on display. The
College of Saint Rose will also host
guest speakers during the time the
exhibit is here. Two of these speakers
will be people who witnessed the
holocaust.

Budget Cuts
Trigger
Tuition
Increase
By David Ranford
ALBANY- Governor Mario M.
Cuomo's recently announced budget
proposal for 1992-93 would strip
private colleges and universities of 50
percent of state Bundy aid, if passed.
This translates into a loss of $36.5
million.
Leonard Sippel, Vice President of
Finance and Administration at the
College of Saint Rose, has anticipated
reductions in the state aid and has been
making recommendations to the Board
of Trustees for the February tuition
meeting. At this time Mr. Sippel
predicts a 5-6 percent tuition increase
for the fall. The lost Bundy aid, which
is based on enrollment, would probably
be allocated different departments, he
said. "We look at operations,
administrative expenses, housing
renovation costs,..a lot of things."
He added that a substantial loss in
the state aid could hurt scholarships and
financial aid. "The Bundy aid is not
specifically earmarked for financial aid
and scholarships," but it does count.
Mr. Sippel has confidence in "a
new, flexible, fairly priced program."
The program, initiated by RPI, includes
Skidmore, Union, CSR, and Vassar
College in Poughkeepsie. He stresses
that it is a college loan program as
opposed to a bank program. Mr. Sippel
expects the program to be operating by
the start of the fall semester.
The Governor's proposal would also
bleed the SUNY system of $143.5
million in state funds. Mr. Cuomo
believes that SUNY will make back
about $75 million of this through
increased tuition in annual tuition fees
at all SUNY campuses, the Times
Union reported.

Jonatfian ^HamSCin this deadly material stored on campus?
Some students were poking around
their environs the other night and made
a very interesting discovery. It seems
that The College o f Saint Rose is
storing asbestos in the garage located
behind Availa Hall.
When one happens by this place it
looks like any other garage in the
world. That is to say that there is no
indication what is contained inside this
building.
If you happen to glance inside this
building you might notice the black
plastic bags that are labeled "Asbestos
Dust" "Caution Causes Lung Cancer"
Why has the College chosen to keep
Is it too expensive to remove to a
facility more appropriate for dealing
with a known carcinogen.
All it would take is a couple of
neighborhood children playing with
snow balls to break a window in this
garage, which on a windy day could
send asbestos dust all over the Pine
Hills neighborhood.
It is up to the Administration of
this College to prove to the students,
faculty, and staff (as well as the people
we share this neighborhood with diat
this garage is a perfectly safe place to
store asbestos, and that ^ e re is nothing

As the United States commemorates
the first anniversary of the Persian
Gulf War, many questions regarding its
involvement in the 43>day conflict
remain unanswered.
WhUe the U.S. and its allies
succeeded at cutting o ff Saddam
Hussein’s supply of chemical and
biological weapons, depleting the size
of the Iraqi army and freeing occupied
Kuwait, It failed to oust the Iraqi leader,
creating the possible threat of future
conflict. The United States* failure to
complete the ground war and capture
Saddam raises several important
questions, “Will he attack Kuwait, other
Arab nations, or Israel?” “Will he
purchase nuclear and chemical weapons
from the republics that once made up
the Soviet Union?”, and ‘T)id the war
achieve its objective of bringing peace
to the Middle East?”
If the U.S. completed the
ground war and captured Saddam, he
would have been put on trial for war
crimes. However, if he were put on
trial, Iraqi allies such as Syria might
have threatened retaliation against the
U.S., Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or Israel.
Also, U.S. casualty numbers would
have reached several thousands rather
than the 148 killed and 357 wounded.
With Saddam still in power, Kuwait and
other Middle East nations are asking
whether he will attack again.
Since the breakup o f the
Soviet Union in August 1991, many
of the former republics are stockpiled
with nuclear and chemical weapons.
This raises concern not (mly in the
United States and other Western nations,
but throughout the Middle East about
whether the former republics will sell
nuclear and chemical weapons to Iraq in
exchange for oil and other raw materials.
According to an article in the Jan. 18
issue of the Times Union, United
Nations inspectors state that Iraq is two
to three years away from building small
range nuclear weapons. However, with
the fall of the Soviet Union, Iraq could
have nuclear weapons within 18
months. This leads to the question,
“Did the Gulf War achieve its objective
of bringing peace to the Middle East?”
As long as Saddam Hussein is
in power and receives support from Aitib
nations such as Syria, the United
States and United Nations’ objective of
peace in the Middle East is in grave
jeopardy. Until Saddam is removed
from power, or an agreement is reached
on how to prevent Iraq from purchasing
and building nuclear and chemical
weapons, the United States could Hnd
itself involved in another conflict with
Iraq, and this time it may not be
successful.

No futuorologist would have
considered seeing Saddam Hussein still
in power a year after the gulf tragedy.
Not after that first night of bombs, and
explosions and death and destruction,
and the continuous Rambo show on
CNN.
The reality, however, is being
dictated by the ultra rightist gulf
monarchies who prefer Hussein the
terrible rather than the Shiite
fundamentalists.
A year after little has changed. The
'liberation' of Kuwait, supposedly the
main reason for the bombings, has
concluded in the return of the A1 Sabah
family, well known for suppressing
anyone who dares to oppose its
dictatorship.
One year after that knight, Hussein
claims that Iraq did not lose the war.
The Iraqi people . that is Iraqi children,
defenseless older citizens, and pregnant
women kept praying and hoping the
lx)inbing would soon slop. Forever.

lack of medicine and hunger.
Some did however achieve
something in the tragedy. Syria was
forgiven of supporting international
terrorism and received the protectorate
of Lebanon. Egypt also concluded its
isolation from the Arab world since it
signed the accords with Israel at camp
David. Furthermore, Bush forgave
Egypt's foreign debt and forced other
countries, like Spain, to do the same.
Today, Egypt is the U.S. policeman in
the area, as well as Saudi Arabia,
whose oil dollars help maintain the
status quo in the Middle East.
The tragedy has also caused
tremendous harm to the Palestinian
people. The PLO has lost financial
supporters and the Palestinian cause
does not seem to be any longer a cause
of the Arab world. Today, not only do
they not have a homeland but many
Palestinians who worked hard in places
like Kuwait are now beinc rejected.
Not only for the Plaestinians but
for all the people of the planet, the gulf

P e r s p e c t iv e
o me n a ito r
Two weeks ago, Albany
Police Chief, James Murley, wrote a
letter to Records ‘N Such Record Store,
in Stuyvesant Plaza, warning the store
of the hazards of selling “obscene”
music. The letter stated that people
that “sold or possessed” “obscene”
music might face the penalty of
criminal prosecution, which in turn
could result in possible jail time. This
left me with one question; Who the
F@#$ is James Murley to be pulling
this S#*! ? He is one person acting on
one letter from a woman who was upset
about her daughter purchasing two rap
albums, one by Eazy-E and the other by
the group N.W.A.
This whole thing reminds me
of the Married With Children incident
Remember that one? Some woman
was upset with the content of the show
so she wrote a letter to the companies,
,that advertise during the show, and
convinced one of them to pull their
advertisement. Now I’m not talking
about some small c o m p ly , the
company that pulled its advertisement
was McDonald’s.
M cD o n a ld ’s m an , F*&% in g
McDonald’s, one of the biggest fast
food advertising campaigns in
the country, if not the entire world. I
guess the whole problem that I have
with this woman’s complaint and
Murley’s action is that the F$%'^ing
t ^ s had “parental advisory” stickers on
them. These “parental advisory”
stickers that I’m talking about were
voluntarily put on the albums in
question to avoid incidents like this, yet
one person still feels compelled to start
,.this c e n so r^ p all over again.It’s
not like the boys at Records ‘N Such
were trying to corrupt this woman’s
little girl, they were just trying to make
money. I think they call that
capitalism. It’s a pretty big concept in
this country. I Don’t feel it is the job
of the people at Records ‘N Such, or
any other record store for that matter, to
tell customers what they can and cannot
buy. That is the job of the parent of
the minor, plain and simple.
The second problem that I
have with censorship, or record baning,
or whatever the F#$% you want to call
it, is the albums they do it to. The
artists that are catching hell for this
whole “obscenity” thing are the rap
artists. Transworld Music, The parent
company of Records ‘N Such and two
other local record stores, also one of the
largest record distributors in the
country, pulled twenty titles off the
shelves of their stores. What were
these twenty titles? They were rap
albums. Yet I can still go into one of
these stores and purchase one of the
twenty to forty Frank Zappa albums.
The problem that I have with this is
that while rap artists are talking about
sex, racism, and gang violence and
getting there albums taken off the shelf,
Zappa is talking about bondage, anal
and o ra l sex, homosexuality,
masochism, drug use( “chemical
entertainment” as Frank would put it)
and, in one song, Zappa even promotes
rape. So I guess that Zappa can talk
about these things as lonji as he doesn’t
say F$%^^, or S%^& or anything like
that.
Banning albums is not the
answer. Warning yes, banning no, and
if we are going to ban albums lets ban
them all not ju s t the popular ones.
You know what’s great about this
whole F$%'^ing thing is that there are
people out there that get very excited
when records start getting banned. The
people that I am talking about are the
people at “blank” cassette companies.
You know the people I’m talking
about the people that own companies
like Maxell, Memorex, Sony
and all o f the other big cassette
companies. When an album gets
banned, that doesn’t mean that children
still don’t hear i t it just means it
might be a little harder for them to get
it. They have to revert to the “grade
school black market of banned rap
cassettes” . This even saves them
money, they spend a buck on a “blank”
tape, their friend copies it for them and
they save themselves nuie dollars.
C e n so rsh ip is w rong,
especially when it is the result of just
one woman being unhappy with her
daughters musical selections. I find it
hard to believe that my little brother
can’t buy the new N.W.A. cassette
because some woman who has nothmg
^better to do with her F$%'^ing time
complained to the Chief of Police, and
another big problem I have is that I had
to show ID. when I went into the store
to buy it for him. This woman should
have returned the N.W.A. cassette for
John Denver’s Greatest Hits, the Eazy-
E cassette for some of Barry Manilow’s
earlier work, slapped her daughter on
the wrist and went back to listening to
Slim Whittman.
Censorship is wrong, I think
James Murley realized this and that is
why he withdrew his letter. It was
either this or maybe it was the fact that
Scott Fein, head of the Albany Civil
Liberties
Union, threatened him with possible
“judicial intervention”. The biggest
problem with censorship
is that most people don’t even realize
that it is happening because they don’t
actually see the things that are being
censored. It’s everywhere, just take a
look at this article, I didn’t say I
said F$%'^ but it got censored.

Malcolm X Remembered
by Randy Howard
I was walking across campus the
other day and noticed one o f the
students here at St. Rose was sporting a
baseball cap with an ominous and eye-grabbing
“X” embroidered on top. I
thought about i t and couldn’t fathom
why someone would want to wear a hat
with such a symbol. At the time it
seemed a simple letter with a trivial
purpose. Not long after, it occurred to
me what the “X” stood for. I felt
ignorant not realizing sooner that it
was a symbol for Malcolm X, the civil
rights activist from the 50’s and 60’s.
With the passing of the holiday for
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it is
evident that we all remember Dr. King
and what he stood for. He was truly a
courageous man who sought truth and
equality for all black men and women.
He m a ^ revolutionary strides for black
equality. And Malcolm X is gone as
well, but many do not remember or pay
tribute to him with the same respect
and fervor. Now I’m no expert on Dr.
King, nor do I know all there is to
know about Malcolm X, but I’ve been
wondering why there is no holiday in
the name of Malcolm X.
The repercussions are thought-provoking.
It is possible that our
society has not progressed far enough to
even consider i t A holiday in the name
of Malcolm X. The mere concept
would make the faces of the white
people cringe- those who think they
know what Malcolm X stood for. And
the faces of the whites who know
nothing about him will stay blank.
And the black people who have an idea
or who truly know what Malcolm stood
for And themselves asking the question:
“Why the hell not?” And the black
people who know little or nothing
about him also find themselves asking
the question: “Why the hell not?” And,
of course, the extreme racist wherever
he or she may be, is incited into an
ignorant frenzy of aggression and
unrest.
To clarify any confusion any have
about Malcohn X, he did indeed preach
hatred of white people (perhaps this is
why there will never be a holiday in the
name of Malcolm X). Under the
supervision of the “Honorable” Elijah
Muhammad, the first black Muslim
prophet in the United States, Malcolm
sought to convert blacks all over the
country to the religion of Islam. He
preached total separation of the blacks
from the whites in America, and taught
his followers that in order to achieve
this total independence they must be
responsible for their own social and
economic stability. Only then could
they break away from the white
“Satan.”
His main goal was to unite all
blacks in America, but he did much
more than this. In a time when blacks
feceived no respect had few rights, and
weie getting stepped on by the whites,
Malcohn X showed these people their
self- worth. He publicly pointed out
and accused the whites as the source of
most black dilemmas. Only after
Malcohn made his holy trip to Mecca,
did he feel that there were any good
whites in the world.
Unlike Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
Malcolm X rejected Christianity ( a
plausible reason why there will never
be a Malcohn X holiday), feeling that it
was a religion too convenient for the
whites. Dr. King preached non-passive
resistance whereas Brother Malcolm felt
that people had the right to “fight fire
with fire.” Malcolm saw Dr. King as
less of a threat to the whites because he
was an advocate of racial harmony. In
Malcolm’s eyes a black aspiring to be
“over where the white man was” was
antithetical to black unity.
Malcolm’s life experiences led him
to practice the extreme. Bom in
Lansing, Michigan in 1925, Malcolm
Little saw at an early age the atrocities
that whites were enable of preforming.
The Black Legion, an anti-black
coalition similar to the KKK, beat his
father to death with baseball bats and
left him on railroad tracks to die.
Malcolm was only four. As class
president of the 8th grade, Malcohn was
at the top of his class. Still, his
favorite teacher told him to put aside
his aspirations of becoming a lawyer
and to think “realistically.” In Boston,
at age 16, Malcolm learned the basics
of selling marijuana. He also learned
how to set up “ in te r-ra c ia l
prostitution,” namely white men with
black women. When he finally reached
Harlem, he had made drugs a habit He
peddled them on a larger scale, indulged
in prostitution, and eventually became
an armed robber. Arrested and sentenced
to prison for a stolen wristwatch, he
served z^proximately five years.
It was in prison that Malcolm came
to realize the severe plight of black
America. It was at this time that he
began to educate himself in order to
educate others. He studied all the
historical facts on slavery, learning
much more than most blacks knew
about it in the 1950’s. He read the
dictionary trom cover to cover, in hopes
of learning to express himself precisely.
As his contempt for the white man
grew, Malcolm made himself more
articulate. Soon after, he discovered
Elijah Muhammad and the rest is
history.
I believe Malcolm X was a very
important figure in American history.
Not only was he the most influential
pioneer to speak out against white
oppressors, but he changed the doctrine
to which he was convicted when he saw
that he may have been wrong (not all
whites were bad). His rejection of a
lifestyle of debauchery and sin makes
his didactic prowess for the blacks all
the more impressive.
A holiday in the name of Malcolm
X is justifiable. Blacks are still
oppressed in this country whether we
choose to believe it or not. It is
oppression, not of physical nature but
psychological. It is difficult for them
to persevere in this “white” society.
And the whites can never in a million
years atone for the sins committed
against the blacks from the beginning
of slavery, The only atonement would
be to sacrifice white lives and have the
whites be slaves f(M* them. The whites
argue: “that wasn’t our generation- we
had nothing to do with it.” But the
manifestations of the injustices still
exist in the psyche of the black
person’s mind.
The holiday for Malcolm X would
be a holiday when all black people
could unite as brothers and sisters and
the hostilities between them would be
put aside. It would be a holiday that
recognizes' both past and ongoing
oppression. It would be a holiday in
which the whites could not partake in.
Black unity would spill over to the next
day and the next..
A holiday for Dr. Martin Luther
King is celebrated in 49 of the 50 states
and rightfully so. Yet if a follower of
Malcolm X proposed a holiday in his
name it would most likely be rejected.
Such is the pervading white mentality
in the United States.

B r e a s t I m p l a n t H e a l t h R i s k s P a r t 1
By Kate Kuehner and Janene Meskill
On January 6 the FDA placed a
moratorium on silicone breast implants
and it has sparked a great deal of panic,
controversy and fear among women
who have had the implants done for a
variety of reasons. Although 80 percent
of the implants are used for cosmetic
reasons, the rest are used in women
who have undergone breast cancer
surgery.
This is where the majority of
sympathy for silicone implant victims
lays. The current statistics from the
National Cancer Institute as of
December 1991 state that one out of
every nine women will develop breast
cancer in their lifetime. When a women
is told that there is a possibility of
breast cancer a major concern for her is
the possibility of losing one or both
breasts in order to remove the
malignant tissue.
After having a mastectomy there
have been several options for women in
teims of reconstructive surgery in the
past, but now the most popular option,
silicone implants, seem to be making
women very ill. Silicone implants have
been available for over three decades and
approximately 150,000 women a year
have them implanted.
As of December 19,1991, between
800 to 1,000 lawsuits have been filed
against the manufacturers of the
implants with one third of them filed
against DOW Coming-Wright which is
the largest manufacturer of the
implants. The New York Times
reported that there are approximately
two million women with silicone
implants, and a phone call to a local
plastic surgeon revealed that there are
roughly 8,000 women in the Capital
District with silicone implants.
The lawsuits are charging fraud and
negligence and the women are seeking
damages for cancer, ruptured implants,
and autoimmune diseases such as
scieroderma, lupus, rheumatoid and
connective tissue diseases. Spoke
persons for DOW Coming-Wright say
that while silicone can leak from the
implants, there is no scientific evidence
that it causes autoimmune dise^^s. In
response to that, product liability
lawyers say that there are more than
enough studies and experts supporting
the link.
So where does this leave women
who are in danger of losing their breasts
to cancer? There are other options for
them, such as the saline implant, which
is made of a salt water solution and is
considered to be much safer than the
silicone implant. As for the women
who have already had the implants, for
the time being they are being told to
wait it out and if there are no problems
with them so far, they should not be
overly concaned.
As for as having the implants
removed, the surgery is both more
complicated and more expensive than
having them put in. Another catch is
that insurance companies generally will
not pay for the removal since it is
considered a complication of cosmetic
surgery which they do not cover.
If women are having health
problems or suspect silicone leaks,
doctors reconmiend them to consult
with a doctor of Internal Medicine. For

A new year brings new experiences
and new people into our lives. With
Dr. Wayne Hurr accepting a position a
Georgetown University in Sports
Psychology, the college has hired Dr.
Linda Vera as his replacement. “I
encourage anyone to come in to talk
about any concems whether it’s about
friends or family,” states Dr. Vera, “My
door is always open.”
Dr. Vera is originally from this area
(Rotterdam). “It’s like coming home
for me. I still have friends and family
in the area so it’s all familiar to me.”
She graduated from Mohonasen High
School in 1978.
After receiving her Bachelor of Arts
from SUNY at Cortland, she went to
the University of Vermont and got her
PhD in Clinical Psychology. Her
expertise is in eating disorders.
After college, she worked at the
Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic.
There she was a senior clinician
working in a family based behavioral
weight program.
When asked why someone of this
backround would want to work at a
college campus. Dr. Vera said, “I was
interested in the issues that faced college
students and Saint Rose has a good
reputation in the community. When I
came to interview here, I was impressed
with the administration and the staff and
how much people really enjoy what
they do around here.”
Dr. Vera’s office is located in
Hubbard Hall. Her hours are 8:30 to
4:30 on Monday through Friday. She

The fumbling economy is having an
impact on the way that young adults are
making decisions about the colleges
they go to and whether or not they work
while in college.
The American Council on Education
and the University of California Los
Angeles recently surveyed 210, 439
college freshmen at 431 schools around
the country.
The survey found that 28 percent of
the freshmen polled selected their school
on the basis of low tuition. This was a
five percent increase over last years
survey.
Mark Spoor a junior at Saint Rose
said that tuition cost did play a part in
his choice of a school. "I wanted to go
to Marist College, but it cost two times
as much as this place."
Several' students cited their athletic
service awards as the reason they came
to Saint Rose.
According to the national survey 38
percent of those freshmen surveyed
expected to have to get a job while they
are in college. A sample of ten students
at Saint Rose found that half of them
currently were holding down jobs on top
of their school work. While all of the
Saint Rose students who said they
work, do so part time; 5 percent of the
freshmen polled in the national survey
said they expect to work full time while
they are in college.
When asked if they had the
opportunity to go back and change their
college choice because of money four of
the ten Saint Rose students said they
would. Joe Putrock Said "I would
probably look for a school like this one
but with a lower price." Brian Fergerson
would not change his mind, "The
money was second on my list (when I
chose a college) the school it self was
first.
One interesting facet of the national
survey was that 7 percent o f the
freshmen surveyed went to college
because they were unable 10 .. id a job
after high school. This was the highest
percentage to say that since the
recession of 1982.
75 percent of those responding tc
the national survey reported thai
"making money" was a "ver>
important" reason they went tc
college.That is the highest percentage
to give that response since the questioi
was added in 1971.

J o n C r o n i n - K e e p i n g T h e H u d s o n W e l l
by Lisa Anne Vitillo
John Cronin, the Hudson
Riverkeeper since 1983, makes just as
many, if not more, waves than his
boat. His job involves patrolling the
315 mile waterway to prevent river
abuse by polluters. "I'd sue my own
grandmother if she were polluting the
river," said Cronin
To date, Cronin has brought fifty
successful legal cases against polluters,
including Exxon and the State of New
York. "Once I sink my teeth into a
polluter, I don't let go," said Cronin
who goes to almost any limits to
collect data on polluters, sometimes
crawling through huge underwater pipes
to check for illegal midnight dumping.
Marlene Aig, a reporter for the
Associated Press refers to Cronin as a
Hudson River 'David' defending the
waterway against 'Goliath' polluters. In
1983, Exxon became a "Goliath"
polluter when 177 Exxon tankers
emptied their oil tainted saltwater
ballasts into the river (over a two-year
period) and then refilled them with fresh
water for Exxon's refinery in water-poor
Aruba. A state trooper tipped Cronin
off as to what the Exxon tankers were
doing after they came up the Hudson
and anchored at Hyde Paik.
Cronin began investigating
immediately: "I would put up in the
shallows between Roger's Point and
Krum Elbow in the dark and listen to
the conversations of the captains on the
radio," said Cronin. Once he heard them
planning to flush je t fuel waste from
their tanks and reloading with Hudson
water, Cronin began taking water
samples for evidence.
In 1984, Exxon paid $250,000 to
the Hudson Riverkeeper Fund which
uses the money to improve the damaged
environment, and $1.5 million to New
York State in settlement money.
"Cronin wiped the floor with
Exxon," said Robert Boyle, head of the
Hudson River Fisherman's Association.
Boyle hired Cronin as riverkeeper,
thereby reinstating a job historically
rooted in England where riverkeeper's
uBcked down poachers who dipped their
fishing line in the streams of the
gentry; a violator could be hanged for
such an injustice, whereas today the
riveikeeper's recourse involves a lawsuit
and fines.
The Exxon case brought Cronin
national attention. In fact, Warner Bros
plans to base an upcoming move on the
riverkeeper's life, not to mention
Cronin as the subject of a recently
published children's book entitled
Riverkeeper . Most recently, Cronin
appeared on November 3 on Earth
Journal, a television program which
highlights environment^ heros; Cronin
told the viewers that the Hudson needs
to be given back to the people and not
exploited by polluters.
Cronin's success has made him the
model for other riverkeepers. The
Hudson Riverkeeper staff has made it
possible to establish a Long Island
Soundkeeper, a Delware Riverkeeper
(both in 1987), a San Francisco
Baykeeper (1989), a New York-New
Jersey Harbor Baykeeper, and a Puget
Soundkeeper (both in 1990). Programs
are underway for Galveston Bay, several
rivers in England, and a rain forest in
Ecuador.
Obviously, those who credit Cronin
as the end-all, be-all protector of the
Hudson River are not the polluters who
catch the brunt of his wrath. "I envision
John Cronin saying, 'Lord step aside,
the Hudson River is mine. You can
have the rest of the world.' He sees
himself as the infinite being of the
Hudson River," said R o b ert
Kirkpatrick, a former Town Supervisor
of Newburgh. Robert F. Kennedy, the
full-time Hudson Riverkeeper fund
lawyer, prosecuted Kirkpatrick for
midnight dumping of alum slug into a
Hudson Tributary in 1986.
Kirkpatrick, certain town officials,
some factory workers, and other "non-
Cronin enthusiasts" fuel their
arguments by citing that Cronin never
finished college, yet earned $50,000 in
1990. One town official said,"I don't
see a biology degree on his wall, do
you?" Occasionally, the hostile words
of some turn into the physical force of
others: "You S.O.B.! I hope your boat
sinks," said a worker on a building
project investigated by Cronin. It got
worse when a disgusted factory worker
flung a wrench at him. Instead of
engaging in a fight with the man,
Cronin left in order to protect all the
water samples he had gathered.
Presently, Cronin is watching the
two largest "consumers" of the Hudson
River water. New York City and the
alecuic power industry. From sewage
disposal to watershed management, the
goal is to make New York City
responsible for the environmental
reverberations of its water use.
U n Z e n a n d M o t o r c y c l e D a l l i a n c e
By Jeny H. Gill
I'm sorry. I should have written this
years ago, right after it happened, but I
guess I was too embarrassed. Then
along came Robert Persig with his Zen
and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
and I figured my secret was safe. Now,
however, after 20 years of inner
struggle, I have decided it is high time
the world knew the Uiith. The fact is, it
is possible to drive 3,000 miles Avith
your young son on a motorcycle
without having a single philosophical
or theological insight. I confess to
being guilty of this Philistine sin of
omission.
In the summer of 1970 my son
Jeremy, who was then 13, and I rode
our Honda 350 from St. Petersburg,
Florida to Los Angeles, California. The
trip took ten days and, although quite
enjoyable for the both of us, it was
essentially devoid of any event or
insight worth writing about. In what
follows I shall give a day-by-day
documentation of this unforgivably,
mundane nonadventure. I hope that this
full confession will release me from the
pain caused by all these years of moral
contortion and shame.
Preparations: The night before we
embarked on our nonspiritual journey,
Jeremy and 1 went to see the film "Easy
Rider" for the second time. It was
unclear, and remains unclear, whether
we did this to inspire or frighten
ourselves. In either case, it was
successful. Before going to bed that
night, we had a long conversation about
eh dangers involved in such an
undertaking. We vowed that, should
anything terrible h ^ p en to one of us,
the other would in no-wise feel guilty
or responsible. As far as I can
determine, this vow is still in effect -
nonphilosophically speaking.
Perhaps I should also mention that
a couple of weeks before our trip,
Jeremy had written to two motorcycle
magazines describing our plans and
soliciting advice, etc. Two people on
one Honda 350 for 3,OCX) miles? The
advise arrived quickly and clearly: Don't
go! Some talk about kidneys,
vibrations and the like. Wisely, we paid
these warnings with no heed, since it
turned out that a Honda 350 does not
vibrate when there are two people on it.
Our plan was to drive for 6 hours a
day averaging 50 miles an hour,
covering about 300 miles each day.
Surprisingly enough, this plan worked
quite well. We stopped every hour or so
to stfetch, gas-up and switch positions.
In otherworlds, we shared driving
responsibilities equally. One could raise
serious questions about the wisdom of
letting a thirteen year old drive a
motorcycle across the counuy, but I did
not raise them. Actually, Jeremy proved
to be more at home with the bike than I
did. Unfortunately, this did not prove to
be the case with traffic patterns and
laws. Nevertheless, we both lived to
write about it.
Dav One: We left St. Petersburg
about 9am, heading north through
Tallahassee to Bainbridge, Georgia.
Having seen very little traffic on State
Highway 19, we checked into an
inexpensive motel which had both a
restaurant and a swimming pool.
Although our Levi outfits, my beard
and Jeremy's long hair attracted a few
long looks, we had a pleasant enough
time. After swimming, eating, and
watching a little stale TV, we went to
bed early.
Dav Two: Things went well on our
way to Montgomery, Alabama, until
we arrived on the outskirts of the city.
Jeremy was driving as we pulled onto a
main arterial, which was indicated by a
"yield" sign. However, Jeremy managed
to ignore or failed to understand the
sign, bringing us our fu-st encounter
with southern hospitality: screeching
tires, waving Hsts, and various well-chosen
words of greeting. We spent the
night at the home of friends, receiving
compensatory encouragements.
Dav Three: On our way through
Mississippi we were surrounded by
large trucks. Near Tupelo, Jeremy
pulled off the road, climbed off the
bike, and said simply: "Maybe you had
better drive." I took this as a healthy
acknowledgment of youthful fears and
limitations. Unfortunately, my own
fears and limitations were not relievable
by any similar acknowledgment. In the
rain, escorted by a convoy of trucks, we
finally arrived at the home of our
friends in Memphis, Tennessee.
Dav Four: In addition to resting up
a bit, we spent the day getting the bike
serviced. We had u-avelled 1,0(X) miles
and felt pretty proud of ourselves. We
also learned that bike shops give
immediate attention to customers who
are "touring". Our little green Honda
was in and out within an hour. The
toughest part of our uip still lay before
us, so we turned in at a respectable
hour.
Dav Five: A short trip today,
through Arkansas to Tulsa, Okhihoma,
arriving in time for a parly at the home
of some friends. Needless to say, we
were quite the celebrities among tiiis
group of ivory-tower academics. After
all, we were "on the road", actually out
there "doing it". We hit the hay feeling
like Jack Kerourac and Captain
America!

By Linda Vara
The first week of February is Eating
Disorders Awareness Week. In light of
this , I felt it pertinent to write an
article for the Chronicle to percent
educational information on eating
disorders and to notify the Saint Rose
Community o f upcoming campus
events and college and community
services related to diso-dered eating.
Eating disorders, anorexia nervosa
and bulimia in particular, are especially
relevant to adolescent and college age
women. Symptoms of these disorders
typically appear sometimes during
adolescents or early adult hood ( early
twenties) and primarily affects females.
The fact that few men develop eating
disorders has been attributed to the
strong emphasis our society places on
thinness and physical beauty on
women.
Evidence of our societal preoccupation
with body image is found in statistics
which reveal that fifty to eighty percent
o f young women would describe
themselves as fat, and a striking 91
percent would prefer smaller thighs,
hips, buttocks, and waist. It is
important to note that most of these
women are n o rm al we ig h t.
Professionals agree that there is no
single cause for eating disorders; rather,
certain individuals maybe at greater risk
for the development of eating disorders
because of their biological and
psychological makeup, in combination
with a particular sociocultural climate
which encourages preoccupation with
shape and weight
Bulimia is characterized by frequent
binge ea ting, which in v o lv es
consuming a large amount of food in a
relatively short period of time. Binge
eating is different from simple from
"over eating" in that it is accompanying
by a feeling of loss of control, i.e.
being unable to stop. Most individuals
with bulimia regularly purge as a
method of weight control. Common
methods of purging include self-induced
vomiting and laxative use. Bulimics are
typically normal weight but are
extremely dissatisfied and preoccupied
with their body size and shape.
Possible medical com plications
associated with purging include erosion
of dental enamel, heart abnormalities,
and swelling of the salivary glands. It
is also important to note that self­induced
vomiting and laxative abuse are
ineffective means of weight reduction.
Vomitting never completely eliminates
all of the calories consumes and
laxatives serve to rid the body of waste
after the calories from food have already
been absorbed by the body. Moreover,
once the habit of purging has been
established, many bulimic women
consume larger and more frequent
binges, thereby increasing the chance
that they will gain weight. Prevalence
estimates indicate that between one and
nineteen percent of college females are
diagnosed with bulimia.
Anorexia Nervosa differs from
bulimia in that anorexics are severely
below weight. Women with this
disorder have an extreme fear of
becoming fat and a distorted view of
their own bodies such that they perceive
themselves as over weight. Anorexics
may eat a minimal amount of food or
they may alternate between binge eating
and purging and extreme caloric
restriction. Anorexia nervosa is less
common than bulimia with prevalence
estimates ranging from 1 in 800 to 1 in
100 girls between the ages of twelve
and eighteen. Medical and psychological
complications associated with anorexia
nervosa include cardiac and circulatory
a b n o rm a litie s , g a s tro in te s tin a l
problems, menstrual irregularities, poor
concentration, irritability and mood
swings, and extreme preoccupation with
food.
Confidential, individual
psychological treatment for eating
disorders is available through the
counselling and psychological services

By Ryan Rynn
They teach us Biology and English,
they help us when we are in need, and
they are there when we need added
strength to continue. Their world is
one of a support system, for each other
and for their community. Every day
they leave their residence to teach,
nurse, or to serve the sick and elderly in
every necessary way. In the eyes of
many, the nuns of the Capital District
lead an obscure and strange life.
However, to the thousands of people
that they have aided and touched, their
dedication will never be forgotten.
The nuns of the Albany area, and
around the world, are now trying to
cope with an uncertain future. Their
many years of service and involvement
in charitable causes have been met with
a continuing decrease in nuns joining
the order. A recent Times Union article
by Ray Rinaldi, pointed this growing
concern out to the general public.
When the retirement of a sister is close,
there is no one to replace her.
Rinaldi cites the Provincial House
in Latham, as an example. In 1963,
when the sisters opened the building,
all 250 of the newly-made rooms were
full of novices and sisters. Now, the
House in Latham is lucky to have a
handful of nuns joining the order. Only
two have taken their vows in the last
year. For many nuns, this lack of
interest in their lifestyle has been cause
for concern. Many feel that the
traditional views which have been built
upon for years by each individual order,
will soon be lost in today’s fast-paced
society.
In her office. Sister Francine
Dempsey corrects papers from one of
her English classes, which she teaches
at the College of St. Rose. A member
of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Sr.
Francine has seen this decline coming
for years. However, her expression and
attitude is not one of worry, but instead
of hope and determination. She
believes that change should be
welcome, as well as necessary. “The
basis for our life is a community built
around the gospel”, she continues;
“(With the decline in numbers) It (now)
will be smaller groups dedicated to the
gospel.” Sr. Fcancine feels that her
faith will not only survive, but
continue and flourish. She suggests
that this “new order” may include
couples, men or different twists on the
traditional gender-role, but she believes
the community will remiain strong for
the future.
Hope for Sr. Francine, her
community, and those around the
country, also may reside in the
missions in foreign countries. The
Sisters of St. Joseph have sent
missionaries to the country of Peru,
where members of their order are
working hand-in-hand with their
converted Peruvian sisters in order to
teach the word of Jesus to the people of
this third world country. In the words
of Sr. Francine, these types of missions
have created an “historical change^^ in
the Catholic church. This “leap to a
different continent” has left her with a
feeling that this is a natural progression
for her order to partake in; as “the spirit
seems to be heading where it is needed
most.”
Many years ago, four or Hve nuns
travelled to the United States from their
home country of France. Not being
able to speak English, tliey persevered
and founded the Sisters of St. Joseph in
the Midwestern United States. Today,
there are 7,000 to 8,000 members of
this order throughout the country. “At
that time, teaching and nursing were
disorders therapy group and a single
session binge eating workshop are
currently in progress at the Counselling
Center. Please feel free to contact Dr.
Linda Vera if you are interested or if
you have any questions. The plan is to
start in mid-February depending on
interest and the determination of a
common available time. Also, please
consult the bulletin board outside of the
Counselling Center for further
information about eating disorders and
available community resources for
treatment and support
You may also wish to mark
February Sth, at 7:30 pm, in the Main
Lounge o f the Campus Center as Nancy
Duhaime, R.D. , will be speaking
about eating disorders. Ms. Duhaime is
a Registered Dietician at Four Winds
Psychiatric Hospital and she is on the
Board of Directors for the Capital
Region Association for Eating
Disorders. She will provide information
on Eating Disorders Awareness Week
and will discuss community services
which are available fcx* eating disorders.
I'm sure that it will be an informative
and stimulating presentation and I thank
Ms.Duhaime, in advance, for
volunteering her services to the Saint
Rose Community.
very necessary occupations,” adds Sr.
Francine. This is exactly what many of
the fu^t sisters of the order settled into.
Sr. Francine points out that today, there
are many opportunities for women in
the woii^lace. No longer do they have
to be restricted to household chores or
teaching duties. She believes that this
change is also beneficial and natural for
today’s society; although many of these
occupations have obviously taken away
membership from the orders around the
country.
Sr. Francine smiles and adds, “I live
easily with change.” She continues,
“It’s very natural to me.” With her
relaxed and optimistic outlook on the
status of her order and those across the
country, it is obvious that Sr.
Francine* s faith is strong. She meets
every question with a sense of stability
and continuity of her faith in mind.
“There are many ways that people can
follow the gospel,” she adds calmly.
With her many insights and ideas which
welcome change, it is clear that Sr.
Francine will continue to do her part in
keeping her order strong in the years

I would like to address a few
comments that Chris Corcoran made in
his Rush concert review in the past issue
of The Chronicle. The review outlines
their recent performance at the
Knickerbocker Arena in support of the^
Roll The Bones album. First of all, I
realize that one is entitled to their
opinions and I definitely respect that but
to degrade songs that Rush plays (that
many people still enjoy hearing) such as:
"Tom Sawyer", "YYZ", "Manhattan
Project", and "In The Mood" is not the
way to inform readers accurately about
the way Rush performs live. Emphasis
should be put on the overall performance
rather than on songs that "piss you o f f .
I'm sure it took Alex, Geddy, and Neil a
lot of time and energy to create some of
these songs and I'm sure they still receive
much satisfaction when playing these
songs live. The audience (except for you,
of course) seemed to enjoy hearing "Tom
Sawyer" played another time live as well.
Because of many complex song
arrangements, the members of Rush have
become increasingly busy on stage.
Geddy especially having many bass,
vocal, keyboard, and bass pedal
"Father of the
Bride"
By Melissa Welsh
When visualizing a wedding, one
naturally thinks of the finished
product... the bride walking down the
aisle. The unending hours of
preparation are somehow forgotten. In
the new film release, "The Father of the
Bride", those unending forgotten hours
are put drastically into perspective.
The main comical aspect of this
film involves a caterer named Frank.
Frank introduces many frivolous things
for this wedding, and Steve Martin, the
father of the bride, can not imagine why
there are so many complications
involved in putting a wedding together.
Throughout the film, Steve Martin has
difficulty in accepting the fact that his
daughter has matured while she was
away at college, from his little girl to
an independent, self-sufficient woman.
The bride, Annie Banks, feels that
while she was away at school, she now
knows what love "really" is. Her dad
does not want to believe that she has
fallen head over heels for someone she
has known for a mere handful of
months. This is the issue that
continues to arise throughout the whole
film.
This film should be praised for its
ability to involve various generational
groups. All types of people were able
to relate to all th<? given situations. It
was not only directed towards people
intending to get married, but also to the
parents who have to deal with this
emotional stepping stone in their
children's lives. Although the movie
proved to be a success, many points
were exaggerated in order to m ^ e more
of a significant impact
While this film adds humor and
reality to many lives, it leaves one with
a feeling of happiness and satisfaction,
knowing that no matter how many
trials that turn up during this
significant time, eventually everything
will turn out all right in the end.
responsibilities. I think that it seems
impossible for them to play some of the
older songs that they were once well
known for.
Just because they don't play the
songs you want to hear, it doesn't mean
that they are not at their best when
playing the songs that you do not
particularly care for. As for them playing
"Tom Sawyer", I don't see them as being
obligated to play it every show, but the
show seems more enhanced. It is a
classic song that has a place in every
show and still, as overplayed as it might
seem, shows the artistic value of the
band. It may even still be a special song
to the band themselves to play it night
after night.
After all the time that Rush has
existed (since 1968) it is sometimes hard
to believe that they are still together as a
band. But tell me, if Rush was to come
over to your house and said "W e will
play for you but only these songs: "Tom
Sawyer", "YYZ", "Manhattan Project",
and "In The Mood". Would you kick
them out?

E d ito r's note; OUCH!
by: Stephanie Ditch
Michael Bolton was at the
Knickerbocker Arena January 2(Xh and
21st. The first night was a charity
event to benefit The Center for the
Disabled. Michael Bolton and his band
played against the Disk Jockey's of Fly
92. It was clear from the beginning
that the Bolton Allstars would win.
The team led by Michael Bolton's
opening act keyboard player, Michael
Rae crushed the overweight, out of
shape. Fly 92 Allstars. It was apparent
that The Bolton Allstars would win the
game so I left early and did not get the
score. Sorry. However Michael did
win.
The second night was Michael's
concert, which I paid $26 to see. I
arrived there early for parking purposes
and was forced to listen to elevator
music for 30 minutes. By the time the
opening act came out I was ready to go
to sleep , and I should have. The
opening act was so bad I don't even
vknow the name of the lead singer.
Apparently the girl was artist of the
month on VHl. How? I don’t know.
I was not the only one dissatisfied with
her performance. The audience looked
like they were at a lecture instead of a
concert and you could here the people
around you saying things like, "Isn't
she done yet?" and , "How many songs
does she get anyway?" Finally she was
done and we were rewarded with a 45
minute wait while they set up for
Mike. Again we had to listen to the
elevator music and by the time he came
on I was not a happy concert goer. I
wanted to be impressed and I wanted to
get my $26 worth because so far they
should have paid me to be there.
Finally Mike came on and I admit I
was impressed. He played all of my
favorite songs which are all of them.
"Sitting on the dock of the bay," was
accompanied by a picture of a dock on a
giant screen. After a few songs Mike
went to slip into something more
comfortable and we had to listen to this
instrumental thing that went on way to
long. However, again I was not
disappointed when Michael returned.
Michael sang his return song on a
platform set up at the back of the floor
audience. "He sang "Georgia on my
Mind," and walked through the
audience. His encore song was of
course his #1 hit "When a man loves a
woman." All in all it was a pretty
good concert. While at this concert I
realized why concerts are not as popular
as they used to be. MTV.

Saint Rose says no Mercy
After a 4 minute scoring drought,
Saint Rose caught NYC AC foe Mercy
College in the second half for a 83-70
victory.
After allowing Mercy to score the
first eight points of the game, St. Rose
dug in with Patrick Filien’s jumper
nearly four minutes into the game. At
the 10:41 mark in the first half and
Mercy ahead 14-10, Todd Duvall,
Gallagher Driscoll, and Chris Koch each
hit three pointers to put Saint Rose
ahead 19-18. Mercy’s Rick Gill and
Alfonso Alcorn retaliated quickly with
successive lay-ups putting them on top
22-21 and Forcing St. Rose to take a
time out with 5:51 left in the first half.
St. Rose’s Mike Menzer responded
quickly with a lay-up and foul putting
St. Rose up by one and sending Menzer
to the charity stripe.
With two minutes left in the half,
St. Rose’s Shondel Bryant’s slam dunk
put them up 32-28. After an injury
time out, St. Rose came out with a full
court press that forced Mercy into two
consecutive turnovers leading to four
unanswered points for St. Rose. One
setback for St. Rose was Patrick Filien
having to come out late in the first half
after picking up his third personal foul.
The two teams went into the locker
room with St. Rose leading 38-30.
After trading baskets to open up the
sccond half, Chris Koch’s three pointer
with 16:30 left in the game put St
Rose up by four. Mercy’s EitoI Brown
answered with his ov^n three pointer and
cut the lead to just 1, 43-42, with 14:40
left to play.
With eleven minutes to go in the
game, St. Rose broke out with a full
court press that forced a turnover which
lead to a basket and a foul putting St.
Rose ahead 54-50. After a Mercy time
out, St. Rose stayed with the press
which led to Chris Koch’s breakaway
lay-up and giving St. Rose a lead they
would never relinquish. Late in the
game, Mercy was forced to foul which
sent St. Rose, mainly Duval and
Driscoll, to the foul line. Patrick Filien
fouled out with 30 seconds left after
scoring 10 points. The game was
topped off with Mauricio Ahnedia’s
slam dunk that sent St. Rose fans
cheering as they left the Activities
Center.
St. Rose was lead by Chris Koch,
who came off the bench to score 16
points. Mike Menzer had 14 points and
Mauricio Almedia and Jeff Gore each
had 11 points.
Men's Team Keeps Pace
By: S co tt Fitzsimmons
After getting off to a somewhat
slow start this season, the men's
basketball team has picked up the pace
and have been challenging the
conference leaders since winter break.
Starting the season at 3-3 and losing the
Desmond Tip-Off Tournament for the
fist time in seven tries, the Golden
Knights had some adjusting to do if
they were to be serious contenders in
the New York Collegiate Athletic
conference, an NCAA Division II
league. The team also seemed to lose
its home court advantage, dropping two
of the fu^t four, after only losing three
games at home, the last three seasons.
On December 12, the Golden
Knights travelled to Syracuse to take on
LeMoyne College, a team that had
already beaten them earlier in the season
93-81, to take the Desmond Tip-Off
Tourney championship in the Activities
Center. The showdown on LeMoyne's
campus is probably where St. Rose
turned its season around. Shooting an
amazing 70% from the floor, the Golden
Knights handed the Dolphins their worst
ever home court loss. I he victory not
only made believers out of the Saint
Rose basketball enthusiasts, but out of
the team as well.
Since that night in Syracuse, the
team has won eight out of ten contests.
Highlights include winning the
Merrimack Christmas Tournament
(Pepsi Invitational) by beating West
Chester University and Merrimack
College, two teams ranked in the top 20
in a pre-season NCAA II poll. During
the streak, the Golden Knights have
gone 6-2 in the NYC AC, with a 54-53
victory over favored Pace University
January 9.
With the season approximately half
over, the team has put itself in a very
good position to gain a bid in the
NCAA's. Philadelphia Textile(ranked
1st in the country) is 7-1 in the
NYCAC, tied with Pace University.
Without overlooking other conference
opponents, the 6-2 Golden Knights fate
is in their own hands as they play Pace
University on Saturday, Feb.. 1 in New
York City and Philly Textile on
Saturday, February 8, in the Activities
Center at 4pm.

By: Ray Silworski
Coming off a successful Christmas
break, the St. Rose Men’s basketball
team was on a roll. The Golden Knights
complied a five game winning streak
including three straight league wins.
With three tough league games in a span
of six days, the Golden Knights would
have their hands full.
On January 13, C.W. Post came to
town to play the red hot Knights in the
Activities Center. Throughout the firsi
half C.W. Post kept the lead over St.
Rose and went into the locker room with
^the score 41-34.
St. Rose came back in the second
half a little more aggressive. The Golden
Knights kept clawing back but could not
take the lead. The closest St. Rose came
was three points with one minute and
twenty seconds left to go. Lorenzc
Jarvis lead C.W. Post’s scoring attach
with 21 points and was backed b>
teammate Vujadon Jovic who chipped in
14. Mike Menzer and Patrick Filien led
the golden Knights with 18 and 16
points respectively.
On Wednesday of the same week, S t
Rose traveled down to Concordia College
and bounced back with a convincing
victory. The Golden Knights came out a
little slow in the first half with the lead
interchanging many times. With only a
four point lead going into the second
half, St. Rose came out with tenacious
traps and recovered many loose balls to
help increase the lead. The game was on
the verge of being a blowout before
Coach Beaury used every man on his
roster to contribute to the 97-68 win.
All of the players scored in the con test
wilh Patrick Filien, Chris Koch, Mike
Menzer, and Jeff Gore leading the Golden
Knights with 21, 17, 14, and 11 points
respectively.
On Saturday, an athletic Queens
College came to St. Rose hoping to pull
an upset. From the opening tip. Queens
College did not have much success in
pulling an upset by missing many open
shots. The Golden Knights went to
work and capitalized on Queens’ missed
shots. St. Rose put on a clinic on how
to rebound and fast break which resulted
in a 59-24 halftime lead.
St. Rose played the second half with
mere perfection. Making the extra pass,
boxing out, and getting loose balls keyed
the Golden Knight attack for a 112-60
win. Jeff Gore, Chris Koch, Mike
Menzer, and Todd Duval led St. Rose
with 22, 21, 13, and 10 points
respectively.
S t Rose is currently 10-4 and 5-2 in
the NYCAC.

(a hurdler and two football players), on a
complaint that they had filed saying that
the U*ials were conducted unfairly. A
new Urial was held in Germany and
Snavely. the local hopeful, was ejected
from the team.
Let’s review. Three bobsledders
work their entire lives for what they feel
is the ultimate goal in their entire lives.
They all go through the mental anguish
of an Olympic time trial, are told they
are on the squad, and then three men
who aren’t even bobsledders, (maybe
they do it as a hobby), get fancy layers
and have judges say that they were
treated unfairly. Like they had nothing

If there was ever any doubt that The
College of Saint Rose women's
basketball team could play at the
NCAA Division II level, it has since
been erased. Fighting through injuries
to key players and an early defeat to
league opponent Molloy (whom the
women beat by 31 on January 5), the
Golden Knights are now 11-5 and
perched on top of the New York
Collegiate Athletic Conference with a
7-1 mark.
Possessing a strong, well balanced
offense, the Golden Knights have
players who can hit the three pointer,
take the ball to the basket, and score
inside. It is surprising that the team
can maintain a scoring rhythm without
the services of point guard Erica
Hypnarowski who was lost with a
season ending knee injury. Freshman'
Tatha Wells has taken the reigns as the
team's point guard and has played so
well that she has been nominated
NYCAC and ECAC Rookie of the
Week.
The Golden Knights have an
amazingly balanced scoring attack
which could conceivably have five
different players averaging in double
digits. Starting with Siobhan Flanagan
( 12.6 ppg and 8.2 rpg), possibly the
team's MVP thus far, the average of
points per game throughout the team is
incredibly similar. Here is how the
team scoring lines up: Wells (10.5
ppg); Jolene Fredette (10.2 ppg and 7.1
rpg); Colleen Yurewitch (9.2 ppg and
5.2 rpg); Collette DeSacia (9.2 ppg and
4.6 rpg); Missy Eversdyke (7.2 ppg and
5.6 rpg); and Sandy Zupetz (8.2 ppg
and 4.6 rpg). Three players that won't
get the credit they deserve because they
aren't putting up the big numbers are:
Jennifer Wheeler (3.0 ppg and who's
shot has improved a great deal);
Michelle Dunn (2.8 ppg and a tenacious
defender) and Rosalind David ,(2.0 i^g,
who is a true unselfish leader).
The biggest game of the season is
on Saturday, February 1, when the
Golden Knights travel to Pace
University in New York City to battle
for top honors in the conference.

SUNYA
JordanGetting a Bad Wrap
by: Derek Paradise
Michael Jordan is not only one of
basketball's greatest all time players but
an individual who shines in the public
eye. Jordan, besides basketball, has hit
many other areas o f life. a
controversial book has been written by
Sam Smith, who has been a reporter for
the Chicago Tribune since 1979. The
book titled The Jordan Rules gives
Smith's inside story of a turbulent
season with Michael Jordan and the
Chicago Bulls.
The originality of this book stems
from the fact that the author simply did
not praise Michael Jordan for all his
great abilities, but rather looked to find
the negative side. His reporting looks
back at the championship season the
Bulls marched through in 1991. He
used a month by month technique of
the ups and downs that occurred along
the way. Although Michael Jordan has
not read the book many people in the
sports world feel he should because
there is a lot of truth to it.
t The beginning of this new
basketball season has already caused
problems on the team, but they seem to
be settling down at this point.
The bottom line that people have to
remember is Michael Jordan is a fierce
competitor. He will do whatever it
takes to win regardless of what it is.
At one time he left a practice because
the coach was not keeping the score and
he felt cheated. Also he has put down
the performance of his teammates in
public and has voiced his displeasure
when he felt it was necessary.
What was effective about this book
is that Sam Smith sought out
interviews with the players, coaches,
and management of the Bulls. He gave
a game by game look at the feelings
and actions that went along with their
season. The problem that exists is that
people have only heard great things
about Jordan and when they hear
negative words they become amazed.
Jordan should be looked at no
differently than any other star athlete,
but if he says or does something wrong
then Sam Smith and the public see it as
a problem. We must remember we are
dealing with a business and many large
egos are on the line. Star athletes have
said probably many of the same things
and possibly even worse than Michael
Jordan but because it is someone else
we don't hear about i t
The thing that does not make me
totally sure of Smith's information has
to deal with two different items. Firsts
the authors credibility. By reading this
book you learn that he put together a
three project on reporting the Bulls.
Before that we don't know if he spent
four years covering Congress in
Washington. I don't think this is a full
fledged sports reporter. Secondly, many
of the quotes were not identified with a
specific person and that leaves room for
question.
The question I hold in my mind is
why does Sam Smith seem to go after
every word and action of Michael
Jordan. It's fine to do your reporting,
but don't try and find something
negative about someone just because
they have had tremendous success.
Michael Jordan has given to the public
a true gentleman and superstar in every
sense of the word so why try to change
the opinion of people just because of
what he does and says in one season of
playing basketball.

On Wednesday, January 22 The
College of Saint Rose women’s
swimming team left the pool area while
an Albany State squad pondered what
had just happened. Visibly conHdent,
the SUNY swimmers would splash for
their lives only to be bailed out by a
diving team that St. Rose did not
possess. In simple terms, after the
swimming portion o f the swimming
meet was over, the Golden Knights
finished one point ahead of heavily
favored Albany State. However, with
no divers. Saint Rose could only watch
SUNYA compete against themselves in
the diving competition, thus gaining
enough points to squeak by the Golden
Knights. Head Coach Caroline
Sharlock was ecstatic over the way the
team performed and stated, "we
defmitely shocked SUNY."
Multiple record holder Cathi
DeSimone led a spirited attack with one
of the gutsiest races of the year.
Racing in the 400 individual medley,
she trailed the entire race before
catching and passing her opponent in
the last length to not only win, but set
a Saint Rose record and a SUNYA pool
record (5:03.43) in the process! The
reoM’d she broke was eight years old and
was uncontested after h u n d i^ of meets
in the Albany State pool. DeSimone
also cru ised to ^win the 200
breaststroke. Deanna Patnode, at 6-1
on the season, has been one of the most
consistent performers this season for
the Golden Knights and the SUNY
meet was no exception. She won both
individual events (50 and 100 freestyle)
and participated in the 200 freestyle
relay team of DeSimone, Jacqueline
Chatlos and Julie Cook that was a
season best time, only one second off
of a school record. Probably the most
impressive statistic of the meet, was
that each of the ten swimmers on the
squad had either a season best or a
personal best time!
Coach Sharlock said, "I was very
impressed with the season and person^
best times from everyone because we
are still in the middle o f hard training.
We aren't expecting to peak until* the
RPI meet on February 1 and the New
Paltz meet on February 5." The Golden
Knights are 4-3 on the season.

COMMUNITY
H a v e A S em e s t e r In G r e e c e
Sunday, February 2, is the date of
the important "Interest Meeting" for all
those even remotely interested in
participating in the College of Saint
Rose Semester in Greece program next
Fall. The meeting is at 4pm in the
Faculty Lounge of the Campus Center -
- don't miss it!!
The Semester in Greece is an
opportunity to earn a full semester of
academic credit while living and
travelling in a f(»eign country - at the
same cost as being on campus (except
for airfare). The courses available aie:
(1) Greek Culture: Ancient and Modem
(RLS200). Includes an introduction to
Modem Greek - 6 credits (pass/M)
(2) Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle (PHI
290) 3 credits
(3) Exploring Greek Art (ART 249) 3
c r ^ l s
(4) Philosophy of Education (EDU 368)
3 credits
(5) The Thought of Nikos Kazantzakis
(PHI/RLS201) 3 credits
The program is situated in a private
villa just outside the small, lovely
seaside city of Sitia, on the beautiful
Md historical island of Crete. Students
live in four-person apartments, sharing
cooking responsibilities and eating in
harbourside restaurants.
In addition to daily morning classes
(outdoors!!), the sraiester includes three
one-week excursions:
(1) The Minoan Tour - visiting
fascinating archaeological sites on Crete
and the exotic island of Santorini.
(2) The Classical Tour - visiting such
famous sites as Olympia, Delphi, and
Mycenaea.
(3) Athens - Visiting the A c n ^ li s and
important museums.
Not only does this ]m)gram provide
the extremely valuable opportunity to
study the ancient origins of Western
civilization, but it gives the student the
e]q)erience of getting to know people of
a different contonporary culture as well.
Most o f the courses offered fit into the
general education requirements and all
of the expenses, including airfare can be
factored into a students Hnancial aid
packaee. Those qualifying for next

Are you driven by "Superwoman
Canplex?"
Half of all women living in
families are now employed outside the
home to help support their families
and/or to achieve personal satisfaction.
However, more than half of these
women do not have enough time for
themselves. The "Superwoman
Complex" may be defined as the
unrealistic expectations of women who
try to be 1(X) percent at everything
which includes being a career woman,
wife, and mother.
According to counselor Anne
Jordheim, today's women need help
learning to temper their expectations of
themselves. Too many women
erroneously feel that they do not really
have a right to their own career. Many
feel guilty about stepping out of the
wife and mother role they were taught
early in life. In addition to handling a
full time job, many women are
obsessed about keeping their homes
looking like a picture from a
magazine, their kids sparkling along
with a gourmet dinner waiting for their
tired husband returning from his full
time job. Advertising and archaic sex
roles are what Jordheim believes to be
responsible for assuring women that
they can and miist do it all.
Symptoms of this complex
include: fatigue, depression, anxiety,
guilt as well as physical problems such
as changes in eating and sleeping
habits.Some women often fell a sense
of being overwhelmed and feel that they
are so far behind that they will never
catch up.
To correct this problem, a
"SuperWoman" needs to realize that she
just cannot keep it all going without
causing physical and emotional damage.
Learning to say "no" is a must as well
as changing perfectionist tendencies.
Full communication with families is
necessary for a Superwoman to leam to
relax and be more self-oriented without
feeling guilty.
If you, the adult student, identify
with this pro b lem , Jordheim
recommends that you start a support
group or seek therapy. Please' call the
Adult and Continuing Educaticxi Offlce
at 454-5143 if you need assistance.
