Campus Life 34 Binghamton has so much to offer. Whether it's award winning theater, like Arrah na Pogue, great dancing at Esprit, or just hanging out in the Pub there's plenty to do here. Residential Life 58 We start in the dorms Hinman, CIW, Newing, and Dickinson. We meet friends, play co-rec football, and eat lots of ACE food. And after 2 years, and countless number of Smurf memo boards, it's time to strike out on our own. Alright, so Johnson City isn't the Oceanside of the north but living off-campus we learn how to function independently. Now, if they could only get rid of that annoying loop on the J. C.

Sports 96 Theres no two ways about it. 1983-84 was the best year in our school's sports history. Believe it or not, SUNY-B established itself as a major athletic force this past year. Activities 154 It's no wonder organizational funding's so scarce at Binghamton. Our school has more chartered groups than any other SUNY school, ranging from ethnic groups to sports clubs to publications.

They had waited for years for the moment that they could walk into registration and be the first in line for everything. With the earliest registration times seniors would be able to select any course they liked. No more waiting to get into Pol Sci 120 or VolleyballRacquetball. But this year the seniors were cut in line by a computer. A new computerized pre-registration system was implemented to alleviate the madness and mayhem that went hand in hand with gym registrations. But like many new programs the system had its flaws. Massive computer misprints and limited course backup options forced many students to make their yearly trek to the gym. Armed with a grid sheet and an eraserless number 2 pencil students once again waited in line, The headaches and frustrations were everpresent as courses opened and closed faster than you could say computerization. Sprawled out on the gym floor students tried in vain to map out some sort of schedule that would let them sleep late, have Fridays off, and still complete the requirements for their majors. Last ditch efforts to get into a course often resulted in the filling out of petitions. And then there were the defiant few who calmly vowed to wait until the first day of classes for the teacher to sign them in. Computerized or not, it became clear that you could take registration out of the gym, but you couldn't take gym out of registration. el uyosapUaKy MayLepy SHIH Hes8Q Matt Mendelsohn Ken Brown GO G o e T'he Year 1 Music: Jackson, Bowie,and the Police goTop-40 She walks like a woman and talks like a man... The Kinks, 1971 I'm not like other guys... Michael Jackson, in his Thriller video, 1983 K.C. Casem would've been proud. Led by Motown's Michael Jackson, the reggae-oriented Police and former hard- rocker David Bowie, 1983 marked a time when everybody seemed to go top-40. In some regards this transition represented a positive change in current trends. Jackson's Thriller' served as a milestone for black musicians previously unable to get air- time on large commercial stations, including MTV. Artists such as Prince and Lionel Richie found themselves basking in the sea of opportunity that Jackson had parted for them. But by the same token, the return to top-40 also had its drawbacks.Op- portunistic bands led by Duran Duran and Men At Work were able to cash in on the renewed interest in AM music. If any one medium provided a showcase for the return to top-40 music in 1983, MTV was it. The success of the 24-hour music station opened a new door in the history of rock and roll. Some groups were able to use MTV creatively; other simp- ly exploited it. Clearly artists such as David Bowie and Michael Jackson were not to be overwhelmed by the new art form. They were able to enhance their music through video as seen in Michael Jackson's Beat It' and his 14-minute Thriller. Other notables included Peter Gabriel's Shock the Monkey, Billy Joel's Pressure, and Fleetwood Mac's Gypsy. However other groups could not avoid the temptation to let the images do the work. It often seemed as though Duran Duran's videos were completed long before the song was even finished. And then there were those artists, most notably Bruce Springsteen, who opted to stay away from it all and concen- trate solely on their music. While rock musicians grappled with the new art form MTV faced some problems of its own. Most notably was its inabili- ty to find its own focus. Viewers were often frustrated by the juxtaposition of artists like ACDC, Michael Jackson and Elton John. And because of the limited number of videos available it often seemed as though MTV would give airtime to any band on film. Still in its infancy, MTV's long term ef- fect on the music business cannot be judged for a few more years. Aside from MTV the single most dominant figure in the music business was Michael Jackson. His Thriller album was nominated for 12 Grammy awards indisputably crowning him as the musical king of 1983. Jackson's reign was continually challenged by the Police whose tour for their Synchronici- ty album must have set a world endurance record. Formally noted for their distinctive reggae sound the Police were able to make the top-40 transition quite effortlessly. And then there was Bowie. With Let's Dance the great artist finally tossed aside the personnas which he had so often donned and began a concert tour featuring just plain David Bowie. Other memorable albums of the year included Talking Heads Speaking In Tongues, U2's War, Rolling Stones' Undercover, their first studio album in two years and of course the soundtrack to Flashdance. Some of the year's less memorable albums came from previously consistent artists. Lawyers in Love' was a feeble attempt by Jackson Browne to get airplay on AM radio. Similarly Elton John, Paul McCartney and Paul Simon all missed the boat with their respective albums, Too Low for Zero, Pipes of Peace, and Hearts and Bones. Once again top-40 proved itself to be a deadly temptation for many artists. It also proved itself to be detrimental to AOR radio stations. For the first time in years top-40 made big gains on the hard and heavy format that had dominated the FM airwaves. New bands like Culture Club, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran and The Fixx helped make top-40 a viable radio format once again, no doubt confounding the top level executives that had to make the playlists. The most notable fatality was New York's WPLJ which began to second guess its own format finally succumb- ing to the pressure of top-40. On the other hand WABC pro- bably wished it had never folded two years ago. Top-40 wasn't the only musical format that made a com- eback in 1983. Rockabilly returned to the airwaves led by the Stray Cats and Dave Edmunds. Though the odds were not in their favor, some bands did put up a resistance to the musical trends of 1983. Aztec Camera, Continued on page 254 By Paul Lukas and MatthewMendelsohn BESEEL..o.csssgmeSERERRERRSIRERR: By Liza Schafer Sweating profusely, craning my neck, and being danced on by ardent fan X, is not my usual idea of a fun evening. But on October 5, inside the Broome County Arena, I was willing to put up with these general admission unpleasantries in exchange for the excellent concert delivered by Talking Heads. Talking Heads are not ones to take their music or art lightly and their intense, tightly structured pro- gram clearly echoed this fact. The show, which con- tained no dull moments, was uniquely kicked off by David Byrne solo who played a soulful variation of Psycho Killer on his acoustic guitar. After the classic camp tune, Tina Weymouth armed with her bass joined forces for Heaven. Then came Chris Frantz on drums and Thank You For Sending Me an Angel followed by I'm Not In Love which brought the addi- tion of Jerry Harrison and his guitar. Once the four core members established reign of the stage, a per- cussionist, a second guitarist; a second keyboardist, and two dreadlocked female backing vocalists filtered from the wings. Together, the nine musi- cians presented a potent rendition of Cities which caused a tremor of audience excitement and promp- ted many to dance. Throughout the course of the evening the Talking Heads traded musical instruments like musical chairs and demonstrated their deft versatility. Weymouth jammed on bass and synthesizer, Harrison alternated between guitar and keyboards, Frantz drummed as well as did some vocals, and Byrne, with both spirit and skill, treated the crowd to a little of everything. Needless to say, the members of the ensemble are each gifted, but the band's success lies not so much in individual talent as in the layering of that talent. What sets the Talking Heads apart from most of their contemporaries is their uncanny ability to produce an eclectic, yet thoroughly integrated sound. Their instruments work as a unit, then marry lyrics for rich music with African implications. The show, laced with funky visuals including slides of everyone's favorite: suburbia, featured a varied selection of songs. They played their hits, but also their personal favorites from all five albums. In- cluded in the briskly paced program were: The Book I Read, Life During War Time, Once In A Life Time in which Byrne mimics his persona on the MTV video, Zimbia, Houses In Motion, Take Me To The River, Genius Of Love of the Tom Tom Club and the savory encore Crossed Eyed and Painless. Speaking in Tongues is a remarkable effort which makes no artistic sacrifices for the sake of radio airplay. It is project brimming with raw creativity that curiously works as a pop dance album. The LP is experimental in that the tunes were conceived prior to the words so that the lyrics perfectly embellish the rhythm or shape of the music. A product of one of the few intrinsically progressive groups today. Speaking In Tongues takes risk, but is completely palatable. It refelcts the Talking Heads' aesthetic: fresh, avant-garde, and the process of becoming. Both the album and the band have been en- thusiastically received across the U.S., and Wednes- day night's concert here in Binghamton marked no digression. The crowd was moving and mesmorized. Conclusion: People like art and can dance to it too. ............. - -y e i e e e R ............. e o o i 1 I e e R R O P I8 11 1 i o s 1 0 O T O i 0 I el I 1 r o ikl y i I T ;N ouasRel L T S p l - 1 1 ' B N m ul R fottt o e e, i i K e i e e e 0 T By Liza Schafer L L l Thc B-52's, masters of funky garb and guise, were appropriately on hand Friday, October 28 to ring in SUNY-B's Halloween weekend. Inside the West Gym packed with a costumed crowd, the band of endearing thrift store fashion plates delivered a slick show that was 100 percent fun, but sadly nothing more serious. With names as cute as their hair-do's Cindy, Kate, Ricky, Keith, Fred, the ensemble began their program with the popular Song For A Future Generation. The five musicians, sporting an array of camp fashion, cleverly introduced themselves with the songs lyrics e.g. Hey, I'm Fred the Cancerian from New Jersey. I like collecting records and exploring the cave of the unknown. They then took positions at various instruments and jammed on everything from keyboards to the walkie talkie. Fred did haunting Byrne-like singing while bouffonted Cindy and Kate provided the essential high-pitched backing vocals. Enjoyed throughout the course of the evening were a string of upbeat, inherently danceable funk tunes: Strobe Light, Planet Claire, Give Me Back My Man, Dance This Mess Around, Private Idaho, Party Out of Bounds, :;EI A ISE: I Inm I IEEE EEih!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!e!;!!!!!!!!i!; and There's A Moon In The Sky. All of the numbers were meticulously recreated on stage to perfectly mimic the AR records they came from. Isn't it supposed to be the other ; way around? The B-52s, who clearly sacrificed l g spontaneity for the sake of accuracy, might have been Il better off to indulge in some healthy improvisation. Their witty aesthetic certainly lends itself to ad-libbing, though mE I suppose it is difficult to be completely apolitical when IHF put on the spot. Amr From The B-52's newest and most commerical EE venture to date, Whammy!, the audience was granted N six of the better cuts: Song For A Future Generation, the delectable Butterbean, Queen of Las Vegas, gl Whammy Kiss, Legal Tender, and Big Bird. The new B LP marks the group's return to the unique brand of I music they feel most comfortable with: Space age- I T Dada-funk. Whammy! lacks the intensity of an N important message, but it does offer the cream of I the cute lyrics.

Teams were schizophrenic, winning when they were supposed to lose and losing when they were supposed romp. The national spotlight focused on SUNY-B sports more than once. And in perhaps the biggest sports news in recent history here, racial allegations caused the dismissal of John Affleck, Colonial varsity basketball coach for 11 years. Athletic Director Dr. Nell Jackson felt John Affleck should stop dreaming of a white Christmas. She issued Affleck several direc- tives he would have to comply withuifihe wanted to keep his job, including from ethnic groups and hiring ag assistant coach. Affleck thought tives were unfair and asked to gos with his boss. Jackson refused. replaced.

Some of the recruits were quite upset to find that the man who brought them here was gone. And it was too late for Affleck to seek employment elsewhere. Apparently Jackson, who is black, felt there was not enough minority involvement in the basketball program, a place that should be the front-runner in minority athletic in- teraction. She thought blacks were staying raway from the team because of Affleck. And 'she felt that Affleck lost too many games. Though he only had three of 11 winning seasons, Jackson may have missed the mark in her racial allegations. At one point or Lanother in the '82-'83 season, four blacks were varsity starters and the season before that, Daryll Buford, who is black, was the team's co-captain. Several outstanding black B players in the school were not playing varsity ball in '82-'83, but there were reasons, and most of them did not involve the coach. Frustration and rage still burn inside Affleck, who insists he will forever remain bitter. While Jackson might have missed the mark with Affleck, she was right on target by . choosina Dave Archer as Affleck's suc- cessor. An honest, intelligent and winning personality, Archer was so enthused with the job that he was glad the hiring came only a few weeks before the start of practices this way he wouldn't have to wait so long. All this, after people called him and offered con- dolences for accepting the job and entering into the wild, wild world of SUNY-B sports. In his debut, Archer and new assistant Mike Prosinski unleashed a lightning quick running game that ran to a first round victory in SUNY-B's tip-off tourney. The Colonials fell to New Jersey power Upsala, one of the best teams in Division Ill, by only three points in the final. Upsala featured a 7-foot and a 6-11 center, and its front line averaged 6-9, bigger across the front than the Knicks, Nets and 76ers. SUNY-B's tallest player, Marty Young, is 6-6, and the Upsala centers managed only three total points. Archer, who before the game admitted that he didn't know who in- vited Upsala to the tournament but it was cer- tainly before he was named coach, seemed to have his team prepped for perhaps its best season ever. New women's basketball coach E. Leon Coates was also as optimistic. Continued on page 110 I. M. Sports: LUSH Finally Ends Up On Top Defeats Totally Mellow 7-1 for A League Crown by Tom Benson As LUSH 714 warmed up for the Intramural A League football cham- pionship game, one could not help but overhear their conversations on the sideline. Every one of the conversations centered around the notion that LUSH had something to prove. Two years ago they had reached the finals only to be turned back. Last year in the semi-finals they failed to convert in a goal-line situation in the closing seconds and lost to Lenny's Raiders. This year they wanted to be sure there was no doubt as to who is the best team, and when the talk turned to action, they pro- ved just that, defeating Totally Mellow, 7-1. LUSH had not lost a game all season and reached the finals by topp- ing the Woodspeckers, 8-6, and defen- ding champ Lenny's, 6-0. Their op- ponents, Totally Mellow had reached the title game by overpowering Badass, 19-6, and slipping past the Tempta- tions, 1-0. LUSH won the opening coin toss and started on offense. Totally Mellow's stingy defense quickly halted a LUSH drive, forcing Matt Chartan to punt. Chartan's punt was superb, pin- ning Totally Mellow deep in their own end. The play of the game occurred on Totally Mellow's first play from scrim- mage. Quarterback Steve Cohen drop- ped back and threw over the middle towards an open receiver. LUSH safety Marc Strongin read the play perfectly, stepping in front of the receiver and intercepting the ball. Strongin returned the interception to the Totally Mellow five-yard line. After overthrowing Mike Green in the end zone, LUSH quarterback Elliot Amster decided to keep the ball himself and ran five yards up the mid- dle for the touchdown. Amster found Chartran free in the end zone on the ex- tra point and LUSH was ahead, 7-0. Each team traded possessions for the remainder of the half with the only real scoring opportunity coming when Total- ly Mellow fumbled a punt on their own two yard line. It appeared that LUSH's Rob Hustick had recovered the ball, but after some controversy the officials ruled that a player with a gold shirt had touched the ball first and thus awarded it to Totally Mellow. Totally Mellow opened the second half by doing what they do best; runn- ing the sweep. Led by linemen Greg and Jim Mitchel, Totally Mellow moved the ball effectively and appeared to be tak- ing control of the game. Unfortunately, LUSH's defensive front, led by Larry Horowitz, Mike Green and Terry Yanni had other thoughts. Utilizing their great strength, the defensive line shut down the run and forced Totally Mellow to give up the ball. The second half quickly turned into a defensive struggle with neither offense able to move the ball. The game seemed to change tempo again with five minutes left when Totally Mellows Jurgen Winkler blocked a Chartan punt at mid-field. Receiver Jim George fail- ed to haul in a long pass, however, and Totally Mellow settled for a rouge, making the score, 7-1. Totally Mellow got one last chance when LUSH failed to convert on a fourth down pass. With one minute and eight plays remaining Steve Cohen and company came on the field for the most important possession of their season. Matt Mendelsohn Safety Marc Strongin made sure there would be no Cinderella story, however. Dropping deep to prevent the long pass, Strongin came up with another clutch interception, crushing Totally Mellow's hopes of a championship. LUSH picked up a key first down, allowing them to run out the clock and the celebration was on. Corks popped and champagne flowed as LUSH savored this moment they had waited a long time for. We did it ... we finally did it, screamed quarter- back Elliot Amster. Yes, for LUSH their time had finally come, Broome Air Flos Take Hockey Title In the end, it was defense that saved the game for the Broome Air Flos, not their highly touted offense. With only 11 seconds remaining in their A league final against TAU, TAU's Steve Stimell had the ball behind the Broome net attempting to wrap it around the post. From the crowd came Broome's Rob Geresi to stop the play and essen- tially preserve their 5-4 lead. Broome was led by Neil Shapiro and Armond Dekmejian who netted 2 goals apiece while Geresi added one. Stimell scored 2 goals for TAU. From the opening faceoff it appeared as if Broome wanted this game more than TAU. In the defensive zone it was Shapiro and Geresi starting the rushes while Al Kardos won many faceoffs in TAU's zone. At 6:15 of the first period Kardos won the draw back to Dekme- jian who fired it past TAU goalie Sean Arnold. Less than two minutes later Shapiros long shot found the back of the net to give Broome a commanding two-goal lead. TAU has been in this position before, and with the first period coming to a close, Stimell's unassisted goal brought TAU to within one. The second period saw both teams playing very tentatively, dumping the puck more often than Shapiro resumed control of the game, keeping the ball in TAU's end. After two periods Broome outshot TAU, 15-19. The long awaited fireworks began in the final period as Stimell poked home a rebound with 9:30 remaining to bring the determined TAU team back within one. Logan Asnis either team is accustomed to. However, halfway through the period, Shapiro collected his second goal of the game to give the Flos a 3-1 lead. At this point the Flos gained con- fidence and defensemen Geresi and At 7:18 left in the period Franco Gallo's power play goal, with Ron Got- tlieb off the floor for a high sticking, made it a new game at 3-3. Geresi quickly answered back with a blast from the point that found its way past Arnold. A shocked TAU team did not die as Mark Aledort collected a rebound to score with only 3:40 left in the game. Within one minute Dekmejian shot the winner from long range into the upper right corner of the TAU goal, his se- cond goal of the night. With 44 seconds remaining, TAU pulled goalie Arnold for the extra for- ward, Sanjay Malhotra. With both Stimell and Malhotra in for TAU, they were able to maintain constant pressure on goalie Russ Marino. The ball came behind the right side of Marino, who moved to cover the post. Stimell took the ball around behind the net in an ef- fort to stuff it in, but Geresi was there to make the final save. Final score: Broome Air Flos 5, TAU 4, The Bully St. Broads completed their dominance in the women's league by casily defeating WFAW, 6-2. By the end of the opening period the Broads had established themselves, as Karen Lipman, KC Koester, and Beth Leichter each scored a goal to give Bul- ly St. a 3-0 lead after one. The second period belonged to Bully St. Goalie Lisa Mills. For the entire period WFAW's offense applied cons- tant pressure, but Mills made save after spectacular save to take the steam out of the WFAW team. Only Adrianne Spota's shot could manage to elude Mills. With the score 3-1 in the second period WFAW was back in the game. From here, however, the Broads pull- ed ahead as Koester added her second goal and Barb Keen scored 2 goals of her own. Monica Leardi added a goal for WFAW to make the final a respec- table 6-2. 3 UYOSIBPUBI MBULIEN 35 UYOSI3pUBY MBYTIEW CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: John Valby signs autographs during break in his show; A Phet Little Sister is auctioned off; Franco Gallo deals Blackjack inside Casino; Barry Chafkin bares all for charity; Students bidding during Auction. photos by Matt Mendelsohn 41 Mark Aledort, Sean Arnold, Tom Athens, Randi Borkenstein, Bob Bottner, Adam Brown, Rich Cahlstadt, Barry Chafkin, Jay Cohen, Craig Davis, William DiMarco, Paul Dorfman, Mike Economos, Andy Eisele, Jeff Elfenbein, Eric Ezer, Mike Fix.

It also placed first in the prestigious American College Theater Festival regional competition at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, ranking it among the ACTFs twelve top college-level theater productions for 1983. And as if that weren't enough, SUNY-Binghamton was also chosen as one of five colleges to perform at the American College Theater Festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., out of the nearly five hundred entries in the competition. Tom Kremer, a faculty member at SUNY-Binghamton and the director of Arrah Na Pogue, adapted and up- dated the original 1864 Dion Boucicault production for modern audiences and the restraints of the contemporary stage. By changing the structure of the melodrama from a realistic presentation to a once upon a time narrative and incorporating devices to draw in its au- diences, this comedy of luck, lust and lust, had critics and audiences laughing, crying, and cheering for the fate of an Irish town and its people dur- ing the British Occupation in 1798. The major roles of the production were filled by the convincing Bruce Barney as Beamish MacCoul, Julia Carr as Arrah Meelish, Jamie Cheatham as Shaun the Post, and Pen- ny Powell, who excellently filled the role of Fanny Power. Other performers in- cluded Micheal Feeny, Patrick Guiness, Avi Landau, and John Lavarnway. Arrah Na Pogue's production was enhanced by the efforts of graduate music student David Howland, whose original music score, based on various character themes, was in keeping with the nineteenth century sentimentality of the play. Several faculty members also had a hand in the play's production. Professor John Bielenberg designed the single unit set, which was based on an ancient ruins theme and retained flex- ibility enough to accommodate seven scene changes. Set construction was headed by John Guido, light design by John Vestal, costume design by Jay Herring, and dance choreography by Fred Weiss. The optimistic and inspiring produc- tion of Arrah Na Pogue contrasted the four other more somber presenta- tions by SUNY-Buffalo, the University of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania's Westchester College, and Kingsborough College in Brooklyn, at the Allentown regional finals. SUNY- Binghamton originally competed with thirty-one other entries from colleges and universities in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washinfton D.C. The productions were attended by two professional critics from the New York Times and Temple University, respec- tively; judges were from member schools of the ACTF. Arrah Na Pogue s traveling expenses were fund- ed through the Theater Department, the Dean of Arts and Sciences, and the Vice Presidential contingency funds of the State Univesity of New York at Binghamton. What was the Allentown Festival like? Kremer describd their one day tri as an open and supportive experience, during which our students delivered their own production and attended three other performances. SUNY- Binghamton actor Paul Klementowicz added that, It was difficult not to feel competitive about the festival. It was wonderful to see the other college pro- gulclq?ns. he continued. We had a all. But the Allentown Festival seems almost trivial in comparison to the Ken- nedy Center invitation. If you can think of any other adjective beside awesome' and 'amazing' . . . use them. said cast member Patrick McGuiness. The cast is scheduled to make their all expense paid trip on April 6. People dreamed about it and had visions about performing in Washington. said Karen Getz and Julia Carr. The festival in Washington will run approximately two weeks and the public will be invited to attend. Once there, op- portunities for prospective theater students to turn professional will be numerous with auditions for several touring companies to be held and awards for criticism, acting and other categories to be given out. You hated to say it, said Richard Warner, assistant to the chairperson of the theater department, but we got good vibes in Allentown. 47 Student Entertainment Thrives On the SUNY-Binghamton Campus 52 SUNY-B Frisbee Day Draws Huge Crowds L !'

DFF CAMPUS COLLEGE 69 Lance Moody 75 g 1 I F 78 Academics. Six SUNY Binghamton Professors Speak Out On Some of the Year's Important Issues When the Pegasus editors sat down to decide what ex- actly we wanted to include in this year's book, we decided that we wanted to do something different. A special sec- tion devoted to those who had something worthwhile to say. We thought, at first, of the SA executive board but quickly remembered we wanted something worthwhile. So we immediatley threw that idea out the window. What about professors, one staff member suggested. Sure, why not. If anyone has anything valuable to say on this campus it would be a professor. So we chose six pro- fessors. The ones selected range from those who are known for speaking out to those who are known for being outspoken. Interviewing these professors proved to be a challeng- ing assignment for our rather large staff of reporters. Armed with pads, pens, and tape recorders, these reporters set out to capture, in words, the professor's feel- ings on various topics of interest. Our first interview has Professor Emilio Roma speak- ing candidly about the revelance of the LSAT's on law school performance. Next up is Professor Robert Lovejoy talking about his favorite recreational sport, skiing. Lovejoy, who is blind, is truly a remarkable man. His interivew filled more than an hour and a half of tape. Worked and reworked his conversation has been condensed into a most memorable article. An interivew with Warren Wagar, courtesy of the folks at Pipe Dream, reveals the exact date on which the world will be destroyed. The topic of racism surfaced many times in the past year at SUNY-B. In a much heated controversy John Af- fleck was dismissed from his postition as basketball coach. Read why as Affleck discusses the issue with ace reporter Ronny Klempner, arguably the best writer in Pipe Dream history. And in a somewhat related interview read why Pro- fessor Al Hamme, chairman of the music department, also feels that he is the victim of a racial controversy in- volving clarinetist Buddy De Franco. And last, but not least, read about the future of newspapers in an interview with Pete Benjaminson. 83 84 Emilio Roma Law School Today. Is There A Change Needed In The Way Students Get In And Out Of Them In the classroom, professor Emilio Roma is known for exposing the ethics and philosophy that comprise law. For the record, Professor Roma, who is a recipient of the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, shares his own philosophy of law. In this interview, Professor Roma discusses the relation- ship between the LSATs and actual law school performance. In addition, he also talks about the stigma that sur- rounds law school and whether a change in law school curricula is in order. Pegasus: How well do you feel the LSATs reflect how a student is going to perform in Law School? Roma: Well, it is certainly not an ac- curate indication of how they'll perform in the profession that's for sure. And it seems to me that it isn't even accurate with respect to how the person will do in Law School. T had a student who graduated from St. John's who did very badly on the LSAT and made Law Review there. She had done well here, as far as her grades were concerned, and there was every reason to suppose that she would have done well anywhere that she went. But because she didn't have a very good LSAT, in fact a bad one, she got turned down at a lot of places that her grades were actually good enough to get her into. And so just don't know whether it's an accurate measure or not. I'm sure that those peo- ple who get very high LSAT scores pro- bably, you know pretty good minds and probably, if they work, would do alright in law school. Pegasus: Perhaps it is the test-taking itself that . . . Roma: It might be. 1 mean have students who didn't have very good grade points and have done very well on the LSATs, and uh, in part, the low grade point is due to the fact that they don't have much discipline. And if they don't have it now, it's kind of hard to get it in law school, where there's a lot of work and a lot more nose to the grind- stone sort of attitude. That ought to have developed by that time. And if you don't have it I would think that the same lack of discipline would cost them doing well in Law School, too. I mean they might get by, but the high LSAT is not going to get them by in law school, whereas it seems to be, good grades that reflect a lot of discipline that is going to get you by. Pegasus: What about extra-curricular activities? Do law schools care about them? Roma: Yes they do. In fact, they do very much. I know I read something that was published by the Dean of Cor- nell's Law School in some sort of jour- nal, and she was talking about what they take into consideration. They weigh heavily on leadership sort of qualities, as reflected in student govern- ment positions and that sort of thing. And 1 don't know what they think it counts for exactly. Maybe they're thinking more in terms of what that position is likely to do after law school or something like that. Or maybe they're thinking of themselves as admit- ting students who have the kind of leadership ability that will count later on, out in the world when they've graduated law school. They might want to have that kind of person as an alum- nus to the school you know, this person graduated from here. Pegasus: They have their own reputa- tion to look after? Roma: Yeah, that could be it. Uh, I guess also, you know, holding student government positions reflects a certain amount of responsiblility and assurity. And that kind of person is likely to have a fair amount of self-confidence and be able to stand on their feet and talk in front of people, and have a fair amount of skill with interpersonal relationships, which comes in handy. Lawyers have to deal with people, and often the sort of person who holds a student government position has learned how to deal with people. So I guess that's why they count that pretty heavily. Pegasus: What do you think about the curriculum in law school? Many people in law school feel that it has little to do with their futures going case by case, and such. Roma: Well first off, I think the case method of teaching is incredibly inefficient. Coupled with the Socratic method of, you know, a law school professor standing there asking questions and then trying to elicit responses, and then trying not to answer his own questions, but, you know, to get the students to answer to the questions is totally inefficient. And I'm not sure what it accomplishes either. Because this is objective material. It's not as though we're dealing with a Socratic method within philosophy itself, where we might be trying to bring out in person certain of their own deep feelings about the nature of death or being, where it might make sense for them to express their own views, just to get it out and to develop their own view. But in law school they're not teaching personal stuff. They're teaching people how to think about cases. And one way of doing that, it seems to me, is the case method and you have a lot of wasted time, I sat through a lot of classes at Cornell that were close to wasted classes. Not because it was anybody's fault, I don't think, it just didn't go well that day the professor wasn't asking the right kinds of questions and perhaps the students didn't know what he was after, everybody had an off day and nothing happened. And I think that if one were to switch to a lecturef discussion type of format where the professor would come in and talk for forty minutes and then a half an hour of questions, you just got a lot more done. I definitely had the feeling that some of those courses I could have done as much as they accomplished in one semester in one-third of a semester without pushing anybody too hard. Pegaus.: Then why do they keep it up? Roma: IU's just tradition, I think, the law school tradition. And it was criti- cized last year in an article by the Dean of Harvard Law School, in which he thought that the case method should perhaps be abandoned in favor of some other way of presenting the material. It's just time consuming. And add on to that the fact that most of the students that I talked to at Cornell last spring already felt that law school was too long that three years is too long. Now, one way, perhaps, of cutting off, you know, making three years into two, without teaching less material, is to change from the case method to some other kind of method by which that material could be taught. At least that might be worth a try, since there are a lot of people who just feel that law school doesn't need three years on top of four already. And in a lot of countries it isn't done that way. Certainly in England it is not. There it is five years. Pegasus: Does the case method really give you a solid background anyway? That is, does learning a series of cases better one's understanding of the law? Roma: Well, I guess they expect that what you'll be able to do is read a case and see what is relevant, but I'm not even sure that that is true, I had a stu- dent that went through one of the law schools, a reputable one too, and instead of reading the cases in the book, he would read briefs. Because all of those cases are briefed into very short sum- maries, and you can buy books that have the briefs in them. So he never read cases. The normal person doing his homework would take two hours they'd read the cases and as they'd read, they'd brief them. What he did was simply read the briefs to begin with and never would have to do briefs, because he already had them. And he did very well. I mean, you would think therefore that he wouldnt be able to read a case and brief it, because all he had been do- ing was reading briefs. But that's not true. He was perfectly able to read a case. So, you know, already you have built into the system perfectly available to everybody, briefs. Now, if you're playing the game the way the law schools want you to play, you shouldn't use them. You should read the actual case and see the of the opinion and all that stuff. Maybe that will train you better to be a judge, if that's what you were going to do. But most lawyers don't end up as judges, so I can understand why people take that short- cut and just read the briefs. Pegasus: Do you think that ethics should be stressed more? Roma: Well, 1 think that at every law school now there is some kind of ethics course a legal ethics course. I think that happened after Watergate. But I don't think there is nearly enough philosophy of the law. Now every school has somebody that does it, but rarely is it required. It just seems as though students are going to be doing law their whole lives. And most of them, or at least a lot of them, on a very mundane level. Theyll be doing some small corner of law, not all of law. And it might be interesting to force law student to study more about the place of law school in society. That would get into a lot of philosophical questions. There are even some schools that place more of an em- phasis on interdisciplinary aspects of law Chicage is one and Yale is another but a lot certainly don't require it. Pegasus: ls it really necessary for such a large workload? Roma: There is a lot of work involved, a lot of drudgery. but you just have to put in a lot of hours. It's not like your reading something that's impossibly difficult it's just a matter of putting in the time. I doubt if there is any way around that, I know some of the students who graduated from here complain that they never had to put in the amount of time they now have to in law school, because SUNY-Binghamton does not require that of their students. Not many people around here do five to six hours of homework every day. Every day! Maybe they put in a fifteen hour day towards the end of the semester. But in law school, every day you have to do about six hours of work just to be ready for class the next day. Pegasus: Do you think law schools will ever change? Roma: I'm not sure. If law school's change as far as the law, no they won't change. The law changes very slowly and there is a resistence to change within the law, which makes it a principal of order. You can't keep changing things, you have to order things. But they may have to eventually figure out some way of getting people out faster than three years. As it is, a lot of students are working during their last year. They're not spending much of their time on the law school campus. 85 86 Robert Lovejoy Teacher By Trade, Ski Bum By Choice. Robert Lovejoy is an economics professor by trade, a ski bum by choice. Every Sunday during the ski season Lovejoy can be seen traversing the trails at the Greek Peak ski resort. He still has some trouble with the ice, and he tries to stay clear of the moguls whenever possible, but he still manages to ski just about every slope on the mountain. He recalls the time when he and a friend were entered in the national championships at Squaw Valley, where a snow forecast of 1-3 means feet not inches. The slope was incredible. It was a 1300 foot drop. When we got to Squaw Valley that was the first slope you saw as you came in. It was called Red Dog. Well we said, 'They're certainly not going to have it on that slope, And the next day, the cats were out there trying to get it packed down. But the cats couldn't hold their positions-they were sliding because it was so steep. Lovejoy went out there that weekend and took first place. Oh, by the way, Robert Lovejoy is blind. To hear him give vivid descriptions of his skiing adventures, or about life in general, you forget that the man cannot see. Blinded in an accident when he was 11 years old, Lovejoy has never given into his handicap. For those who have only been exposed to him in a classroom setting, there is another side to Professor Lovejoy he lectures about economics, but he dreams about the snow. Lovejoy began skiing ten years ago almost as a fluke. His wife was going skiing one day and he asked if he could go along. He went and took his first lesson. As Lovejoy will himself explain, it was dif- ficult at first, but he kept at it. Of course, as he reticently admits, it did take him eight weeks to get off the bunny slope. But Lovejoy kept practicing. In 1983, a friend asked him to compete in the National Handicapped Ski Racing Association Regional race held in New Hampshire, Lovejoy had never gone through the gates before, but that didn't really matter. On the second day of racing Lovejoy qualified for the na- tionals at Squaw Valley. At the Nationals, Lovejoy's performance earned him first place. Not bad for a guy who couldn't get off the bunny slope. As Lovejoy's ability increased, so did his desire to build a program for other handicapped skiers. Quality facilities for teaching the handicapped to ski, or for that matter, for training guides to teach the handicapped simple did not exist. Lovejoy recalls a blind ski clinic held in the Poconos where the only instructor was a fifty year old woman who guided the blind skiers with a cowbell affixed to the end of her ski pole. She would ring the bell and the skiers were supposed to follow the sound. It was crazy, Lovejoy said. In cooperation with Greek Peak, Lovejoy and a few others expanded upon a program at the ski resort. The program is now one of the largest on the east coast, boasting close to 30 handicapped skiers and more than 50 guides. But it is Lovejoy who stands as the finest example of what a handicapped skier can do if he or she works hard enough. He skies, or rather glides, swiftly and effortlessly, skis parallel, with nothing to guide him except intuition and the intermittant barks of his guide. Left! Right! Open up! The only thing that makes him different from everyone else on the slope is his luminous orange vest with the word Blind emblazoned on the back. i The vests, bright and reflective, make all the handicapped skiers stand out on the slopes. In fact, the parking lot attendants at Greek Peak thought they were so effective, they wore the vests at night to make them more visible. 'So there were these parking attendants walking around having these vests with Blind on the back and these were the guys telling people where to park! But the vests also stand for something more than a mere label of a physical handicap. They stand for a courage and determination not normally displayed by regular people. To get out there on a slope, a Red Dog that would make a sighted person's knees shake, takes more courage than you could ever imagine. Ask Robert Lovejoy, he'd love to tell you about it. Pegasus: What was it like the first time? Lovejoy: Well it was very difficult to tell whether my skis were going parallel or not because it was so different from walking around. 1 practiced side- stepping up the hill and that kind of thing. My instructor would have me turn and I would only go down about 15 feet. But it was only to get that sensa- tion initially. But then after that when 1 was ac- tually skiing the bunny slope, I could not tell whether 1 was going down the fall line or traversing. Having some momentum on my turn I would sometimes overturn, and would be heading up the hill. 1 couldnt tell because the momentum was carrying me and all of a sudden 1 would stop and start going backwards. Or sometimes 1 would just be standing there talking to my guide and all of a sudden he would say 'Stop Bob'. And he would be back there and I had gone backwards down the slope. That is the type of thing that sighted skiers are not aware of at all because you use sight to adjust and off- set these kind of sensations that might otherwise be guiding you. Pegasus: What is it like now? Lovejoy: Well, 1 have been skiing for 10 years and it was a long time before I started skiing on the bigger slopes; before 1 felt I could handle and feel comfortable skiing those slopes. My technique has improved and my balance is good so that I am able to adjust to unexpected terrain or surfaces. I have a great time and I can ski at the pace of regular skiers on bigger slopes, so that I am not slowing down traffic. Which makes it easier for my guides. Pegasus: Have you ever had a bad ex- perience skiing? Lovejoy: There have been a couple of times when a guide has had problems. There was one guide who wasn't all too experienced. We were skiing down the flat of an intermediate slope and there was someone in front of us. She got preoccupied with that person because we were coming up very fast and she let me go off to the side. I went off the slope and into a ditch that was pretty muddy. I fell on my pole which hit my ribs and I had a rib that was quite sore for several weeks. Again I had a problem with a guide a few years ago where it was not really wide enough so that I caught the fence with one of my tips, and fell with my arm wrapped in the fence. It wasnt too great, But considering the amount of skiing I have done there have been very few accidents of any sort. The accidents that did happen have been with guides that weren't that experienced. It takes a great deal of skill for a guide to guide someone who can ski at the level that I ski at. Because you are really moving along and decisions have to be made quickly. You have to keep your skier out away from the sides in case there is traffic, so that you can move your blind skier to the right or left. Terrain the guide has to be right up with the blind skier to be able to see what is ahead. And the guide has to be conscious of the blind skier all the time and not be thinking about his own ski- ing. The guide has to be a terrific skier. Pegasus: How do you react to people who say, Oh wow! How can he do it? Do you find your skiing such an amaz- ing feat? Lovejoy: There are a lot of things com- bined. I am fairly athletic, my coordina- tion is good and my balance is good. And if you are missing any one of these things you will probably not make it off the intermediate slope if you are blind. If you are sighted and are missing one of those, you can still make it down one way or another, I also know that it took me a while to do it. I didn't ski the way I can ski now overnight. It is time and experience, and with any of us, we can get better as we do something more. Trouble In Paradise? If you Think Newspapers Are On The Way Out, Pete Benjaminson Might Have Some Land In Florida To Sell You. Do you picture the world of the future coming so completely overrun with mputers that newspapers as we ow them will be totally wiped off the se of the earth? Do you think that shy television news broadcasts will 1 replaced with straightforward copy 1a computer screen? If you believe that our future will see ch change in the mass media then ite Benjaminson might have some rautiful land in Florida for you. Or rhaps you'd be interested in a bridge Brooklyn. Not that Benjaminson, a teacher, ithor, and journalist, denies the esence of such technology. He just els that their role in the future of mass edia has been grossly overplayed. Pete Benjaminson sometimes comes Matt MendeSohn off as Groucho Marx without the mustache and cigar. He is known in the classroom for his witty sarcastic manner of teaching. Humor aside though, Benjaminson has a unique insight into the world of journalism. Pegasus: In recent years afternoon papers have been folding at an extraor- dinary rate. What is the reason for this? Benjaminson: Well, it's hard to say. I think that in general newspaper publishers could have kept a lot of the country's afternoon papers going longer than they did. In New York, Murdoch has managed to keep the Post going, but only by turn- ing it into a sewer and moving it to the morning. He also almost caused the News to kill itself by forcing an after- noon edition which cost so much money and was such a failure that the paper almost folded. Pegasus: Will television ever put newspapers out of existance? Benjaminson: 1 don't think so. Morning papers are doing better than they have ever done. Their circulation as a percen- tage of the population is growing. Suburban papers are also growing very rapidly. At least for now, TV is too ex- pensive for advertisers to rely on. If you're a supermarket you cannot run ads listing the prices of every item in the store on TV. But it is feasible to do in a newspaper. I think what will happen is that most of the big city afternoon papers will die. Morning papers will remain healthy, though in terms of population, only the upper half of society will read them. There will be very few mass newspapers left, unless of course they're like the National Enquirer. Unless there is a real change in the technology, we will end up with a large part of the population not reading newspapers at all. But what will amount to an irreducable near-majority will still read them. Pegasus: But there is new technology, or at least the talk of such technology, that could make newspapers obsolete. It has been said that within the near future news copy will be sent through home computers. Benjaminson: That's possible, but such an advance in technology hasn't been made yet. Even to glance at a newspaper on a computer screen would take sixty hours. Because a computer screen, unless it is bigger than normal, can only take so much. Very few people are going to sit at a computer screen sixty hours when they can flip through a paper in ten minutes. Another thing is that this new technology is very expensive. Saying peo- ple are going to read newspapers on com- puters isn't that different from the fifties, where people said that every city would soon be covered with a big bubble. Climate would be controlled and there would be no pollution. It would be great if you hap- pened to have 800 billion trillion dollars to spare. But the way the economy is going 1 doubt if the average family is going to pay ten or fifteen dollars a day when they can buy a newspaper for thirty cents. The idea of home computer newspapers also ignores those people who use mass transportation. I mean are they really go- ing to design a computer that's flat, light, inexpensive, and can be held on a train or subway? Unless you plan on spending sixty hours on the train a computer isn't going to be able to show the news fast enough either. Television also has a distinct advan- tage over computers in that T.V. is much more attractive as a source for news. Wouldn't you rather have a nice looking person briskly telling you the news and showing you pictures of say the fighting in Lebanon, than having to read about it on a computer screen? Newspapers and T.V. will have monopolized the field long before that computerization happens. If the technology changes there always is a chance. But television is so advanced in terms of entertaining you with the news, and newspapers give so much detail in so little space. I just don't see where there is any space for computers. Pegasus: So then you don't forsee any real danger to newspapers in the next ten or twenty years. Benjaminson: Again, if the technology stays at a steady pace then television will have wiped out all the big city papers. But suburban papers will be even healthier. than they are today. They will become what the big city afternoon papers once were. I don't think that computers will make any significant impact on the world of journalism. Unless of course they can figure out a way to deliver vast amounts of knowledge for under thirty cents a day. 89 90 John Affleck Why This Man is Still Bitter One Year Later. John Affleck served as head coach of the SUNY-B men's varsity basket- ball team for 11 seasons before his dismissal in the summer of 1983. He was apparently released for his failure to comply with certain direc- tives issued to him by Athletic Direc- tor Dr. Nell Jackson. Affleck has tenure and has remained on the athletic staff as a physical education professor. Pegasus: You've often mentioned a re- cent change of direction in the basket- ball program. Affleck: The change of direction is one toward more professional goals to win, to entertain and to make money. And 1 don't think that's far away from where we are now with our Division 111 program. 1 pick up the NCAA catalogue and I read what a Division 111 program is supposed to be. I look at what we seem to be now and I don't see the similarity. Pegasus: In which direction should we be headed? Affleck: We should be interested in the player being successful. The university states that its goal 1s to let each become all that he is capable of being. First of all, a young man and a young woman come to this college for an education. Personally, I've always believed that their first and foremost interest is that they receive an honest education and hopefully a degree. It's a preparation for life. And if we as adults, coaches, professors and administrators set bad examples for the students, if we say this is what we're about but then we act another way, then that is completely wrong. We should be interested in giv- ing the young people that come here a good education. Do we really recruit kids because we're interested in them winning games for SUNY- Binghamton? Winning the SUNYAC conference? Being NCAA champ? Those are all things that we are in- terested in, but those don't come first. They're offshoots of something else. First a person's here to get an education and what's real important is that not be sacrificed. I've seen too many young men that have come to this school, and once they flunk out or they don't make their grades, nobody cares about them. I think I personally care about them. I still like them, still see some, still talk to some. But I've found that those that have left without the degree don't have real good jobs. And we have an obliga- tion, especially to those students that we bring in with inferior grades, like those in the TYP or EOP program. I don't think it's been met. Pegasus: Could you have done all these things if you were coaching this past scason? Could you have satisfied the people that wanted to win basketball games, bring crowds into the gym and vet provide education? Affleck: Sure. This is my opinion, okay. The team won 16 games, lost 10. Last year we were 9-15. Personally, I thought that was not a surprise goal, to go from 9-15 to 15-9 in the regular season. A lot of things happened. Cortland lost their top seven players tograduation. Potsdam lost their front line, Albany lost two All-Conference players, including John Dirkleman, who was the best player in the con- ference. Plattsburgh lost standot Paul Glodis. This was our year, I thoughtt, to win the conference. At least, if not to win it, to be right there knocking on thedoor. And the team was close. The team was there. They lost to Postdam twice but they were good games. Perhaps they lost some games that I personally thought the guys should have won, know people got excited becaue finally we really did take it close to the edge. But Marty Young and I often thought that this year we were go- ing to push it over the edge. Greg Pollard now had a year of experience. He had no college experience up until last year. Derck Pankey finally was eligible for an entire year. Tommy Coleman, who 1 thought should have a great year a young man who as a freshman, had the best field goal shooting percentage of anyone who has ever played at this school saw very little playting time. Now whether that was fair or not, I don't know. It prob- ably was fair. As far as crowds are concerned, things like this don't just happen. Sometimes I think the media presented a false picture. Two years ago 1 could remember sitting in this office with Bill Paolillo when we developed the whole concept of the Colonial. Bill did that almost against people's wishes. He was a laughingstock when he first started. 1 could remember sitting in this office and developing the invitational tourna- ment. Taking the team out of the state to play. Playing in the SUNYAC con- ference. Developing a program in which we sold advertisements. Doing all the recruiting. Regarding educational con- cerns I've been told it's completely unofficial of one young man who used incompletes to be eligible. Now, if I had been the coach, I personally wouldn't have permitted that. We might have lost a player, but we're talk- ing about a broad-based program. I feel I'm the only person who ever actively recruited minority students in athletics on this campus. Whether it goes back to years ago in bascball Affleck was baseball coach or basketball. And you look at kids like Tommy Coleman, Greg Pollard and the three years of coaching I put in with Derek Pankey. Personal recruitment of Mark Wright and Tony Christian who is probably going to be the point guard next year. These are young men who would not have been here if not for me. They are a vital part of the program. The only change that I saw was Greg Fleming, who 1 consider played for me Fleming practiced with the team at the start-of the season two years ago but soon left. In fact, it's kind of interesting that Greg, in the first semester even though he was out for the varsity and forward Dwayne Mahoney were both in my advanced basketball class, learning basketball. Along with a young man named Derek Harrison., who had played JV even though the papers made it appear he came off of intramural team Run and Gun. Pegasus: What does Athletic Director Nell Jackson have against John Affleck? Affleck: T dont think she has anything personal against me, at all. 1 know I don't have anything against her. I think that when she came here, she was asked to do a couple of things differently. One, was 1o deal with the problem of funding that's been a perennial problem. How do you increase the revenue so that the administration or the SA doesn't have to worry about paying for sports? 1 know personally 1 raised 5,000 dollars a year, which is over 50,000 dollars in 11 years, To somehow generate monies that was one of the pressures on her. Another pressure on her was that a few years ago before Nell Jackson was here basketball was used as a vehicle for numerous racial groups on campus to state that the university administra- I feel I'm the only person who ever actively recruited minori- ty students on this campus. tion had racist policies, that it was against minority people, not giving them a fair shake. They used a basket- ball game a tournament game against Baruch College, which happen- ed to have an all-black team and it didn't matter that we had four black players on our team. We were demonstrated. They used basketball as a vehicle. I became a vehicle. 1 had many people come up to me and say, don't take it personally, you're just be- ing used. But it created a certain feel- ing that there was a problem. And basketball, like football or ice hockey, is out front, people see it. No one's asking questions of the wrestling team or the cross country team or the women's ten- nis team. They care about what they call the spectator sport. And it's in- teresting that some of the people that were so involved in that whole ex- perience not necessarily in a negative sense, but involved Carolyn Ware, Malik Simba, Roberto Reyes are no longer here. Now what happened to them? Why were they relieved? Dr. Jackson came in and this is the backbone that she has. She has a large faction that says get rid of John Affleck as coach. Three major people went under in the whole process. So what would be the easy trade-off? Right or wrong, let's establish a new direction. I was asked out in July. T had already received a commitment from Steve Erber and Nell Jackson for a Hawaii trip which was totally paid for . We would have been practicing with Houston, Fresno State, Louisville and Chaminade. In fact, we would have played Chaminade this was on the schedule after they had just knocked off one of the top teams in the nation. We would have been right there. We would have probably had cheerleaders and fans it would have been a wonderful, wonderful thing. No one talks about the loss of the Hawaiian trip. I hardly read a thing about it, And it was a tremendous educational loss to our players to lose that trip. Its something I don't know will ever be duplicated again. It was real important for the pro- gram to do well this year. For what reasons? To make certain individuals look good. In today's society, that's very important. Maybe it's just human nature they just said, well Affleck is a real nice guy and all, but, hey, he had it for 11 years. And no one has it forever. No one's coach forever. 91 82 In the Spring of 1983, Albert Hamme, Chairman of the SUNY Binghamton Music Department, had conversations with a member of the Harpur Jazz Project about co-sponsorship of a jazz concert series. There was interest on both sides, and during the summer of that year, Hamme went ahead with the planning of the series. Due to time constraints, Hamme was forced to make a decision on the hiring of clarinetist Buddy Defranco as the first performer in the series. This decision had to be made before the Fall, 1983 Jazz Project officers could vote on the matter. Hamme decided to sign a contract with Defranco. The Jazz Project then voted not to co-sponsor the show, and in a written note gave Hamme three reasons for their decision. The first two posed no problem, according to Hamme. The third was more serious: Buddy Defranco was on a blacklist of per- formers who had played in South Africa, and thus there was a possibility of a boycott developing against his appearance. Faced with the chance of a fiasco similar to the 1983 Ray Charles concert the boycott of Charles performance due to his appearance in South Africa caused the concert to lose approximately $10,000, Hamme cancelled the Defranco concert, and shelved plans for the rest of the jazz series. Since the September, 1983 cancellation, Buddy Defranco, his friends and col- leagues have written letters to the Student Association, the Harpur Jazz Project and Al Hamme, incensed at each for what they perceive to be their role in the cancellation. Above and beyond the issue of blame for the cancelled concert and series, however, lies the question of this blacklist and the power it holds. Is it morally justified? Is it effective? Does it accomplish anything? As a man torn between his decision to cancel Defranco's appearance, and his feelings as a career musician, Al Hamme has strong opinions on the issue. - Hamme: We wanted to start a jazz con- cert series, but we didn't have any en- dowed funding. We had to do what we could, given limited funds. Our original series was to consist of three concerts, with local rhythm sections backing up big name jazz musicians. The first was to be clarinetisty Buddy Defranco, followed by trombonist Bill Watrous. The Jazz Project voted not to co- sponsor the Defranco concert for three reasons, according to a note they wrote to me. First, they had all their money tied up in other projects; second, they wanted more input as to selection of performers. These were not major roadblocks. The jazz series could have went on very easily without any monetary or moral support from the Jazz Project. The third reason, the blacklist issue, waved a red flag in my face, however. Pegasus: Was the possible loss of money on the concert the only consideration? Hamme: If the students massed any support against the concert, the whole series was doomed to failure, and we could never have a concert series like this again. Even of greater concern is that most of our student ensembles wind ensemble, orchestra, jazz ensem- ble, chorus are all supported by SA funds. I was afraid that a boycott might cause the SA to cut funds to these groups, and that would have crippled our educational purpose. Keeping in mind the big splash the Ray Charles concert had made the year before, I decided to cancel the entire series. I thought I was saving the artist embarrassment, saving the department the possible loss of SA funds and avoiding political pressures. But the issue didn't pass away that easily. Pegasus: How did Buddy Defranco take the cancellation? Hamme: He feels it is a real blow to his reputation, and it probably is. I don't know him personally, and now I pro- bably never will, but I understand from others that he has always been a kind, open-hearted person who has befriend- ed white and black musicians alike. He has done a lot of good in his life, and now, at a time in his life when he deserves wider recognition, he is hit with this. Pegasus: But a potential boycotter would says, 'Yeah, I'm sure he's a nice guy, but this transcends anything per- All That Jazz Should Music and Politics Mix? Al Hamme Gives His Views sonal. We're dealing with a nation and a race Hamme: But the individual involved takes it personally. Certainly I do not agree with the segregationalist policies of the government of South Africa. Be- ing a jazz musician, and playing with both blacks and whites my whole life, 1 know what the social pressures are. I've seen prejudice work both ways: white against black, and black against white. The blacklist does not solve this pro- blem. Instead, it hits a person where he lives. Professional musicians earn their living by performing. A musician may be booked into a place he knows nothing about, politically, by a booking agency. The implications of the situation may not be known to him. Pegasus: A boycotter might say that the South African government could use this performer as a propaganda tool. But the people opposed to the apartheid policies of South Africa could also use this performer as a propaganda tool. After all, Buddy DeFranco did perform there with black musicians and played jazz an art form developed primarily by black musicians. Hamme: It should also be kept in mind that music is a job. Musicians are anx- ious to get booking and exposure. The greater the exposure, the greater the chances he will be asked to come back, or do records, etc. Many times we don't ask questions as to why we're brought there. If the Harpur Jazz Ensemble is asked to play at Vestal High School, should we automatically think there is a hidden motive there? I don't know if Buddy Defranco knew what he was get- ting into by being booked in South Africa, or not. I'm sure a lot of people have played in South Africa over the years. Many of them may have played there before there was an established blacklist. Per- sonally, I've never seen this blacklist. How was the list made in the first place? Was any kind of warning issued to these performers? I don't think that a lot of these performers knew that if they performed in South Africa, they would be boycotted in the United States. I just don't think that in a country as sup- posedly free as ours a person should be put in a position where he can't earn a living or perpetuate his art form. Pegasus: But isn't that the aim of the boycott? To hit the performers in their pocketbooks so they don't play in South Africa? Hamme: Buddy Defranco may be a ma- jor figure in jazz, but he's a minor figure in the entertainment world. Boycotting his concerts doesn't bring any attention to the political climate. The whole point is that the big names are going to thumb their noses at the boycott, and play over there anyway. Frank Sinatra and Wayne Newton have already done this. These people will get jobs anyway. Maybe they won't come to SUNY Binghamton, but they couldn't have come here anyway because no one could afford them. Pegasus: But wasn't Ray Charles hurt by the boycott when he played here? Hamme: Ray Charles is a superstar. When you boycott a Ray Charles con- cert, you bring a lot more attention to the situation. People are dissuaded from attending the concert because they are afraid of getting into some kind of social situation. The commotion created out- side by the boycotters keeps the people away. However, it wasn't the boycott that drew national attention. It was the amount of money lost on that concert, and on the Marshall Tucker show before it, that got SUNY Binghamton into the national magazines. What did the boycott do to Ray Charles? He got his money anyway. Pegasus: Yes, Ray Charles got his money, but he may not be hired by so- meone else because of what happened. Nobody wants to take a financial bath. Hamme: That's true. Buddy Defranco's concert was cancelled because of the threat of a boycott. But the only people that lose are the local people and the entertainers themselves. The boycott has simply kept the local people who would have enjoyed that concert from having a good time. The Buddy Defran- co cancellation never gets back to the government of South Africa. It's futile, but it's also outrageous. The whole idea of putting handcuffs on anyone's per- sonal freedom bothers me. Pegasus: Why is art, and in this case music, so irrevocably intertwined with politics? Hamme: Art, in many ways, becomes an image of life. Therefore, there are pressures against art and artists that deal with social, economic and political atmospheres and surroundings. Many film people and artists were called com- munists and pressured into all kinds of things during the McCarthy era. The pressures put on their careers and their economic livelihoods must appear in their work somewhere. As a creator of music, art, literature, etc., a lot of what's inside you goes into your work. There have always been peo- ple who have used music and art politically. Should I be stopped from allowing people to see, hear or feel my work simply because I may be doing something that's not considered politically in? Do we burn books because they may be against the political philosophy of the current ad- ministration? The answer is no. Yet the boycott does this kind of thing. Inside of my heart, I know the boycott is wrong. No matter how much you attach the politics of the time to it, it's not fair. 93 .- 94 Matthew Mendelsohn W. Warren Wagar Are We Crawling Towards the Wreckage? Warren W. Wagar is currently a professor of History at SUNY-Binghamton. Prior to his appointment .here he taught at Wellesley College and the University of New Mexico, and was History Department Chairman at SUNY-Binghamton 1977- 1980. He received his Masters degree in History at Indiana University, and holds a Ph.D from Yale. Professor Wagar has received a Senior Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and an Ameriqan Council of Learned Societies Fellowship. He has written and edited over a dozen books, including The City of Man, Building the City of Man, Terminal Visions: The Literature of Last Things, History and the Idea of Mankind and European Intellectual History. In addition, he has published more than thirty articles and chapters in The Futurist and the forthcom?ng The Future of 1984. Professor Wagar is now teaching a course titled World War lIl, and offers History of the Future in the fall. Pegasus: You have a number of scenarios about nuclear war that you've given in your classes that the world will end on a specific day . . . Wagar: Early in the morning on September 29, 1997. Pegasus: And you recently gave another one on how the explosion of a nuclear bomb would affect Binghamton. Are the scenarios you give based on im- agination, or are there facts that you work from? Wagar: Well, any scenario is an im- aginary narrative, and it's a work of fic- tion. The only difference is there are no central characters, but it is a work of fiction. But, like any work of realistic fiction it is based on information of the kinds of weapons available and the kinds of damage that they can do, as well as the kinds of political situations that would lead to the war. The scenario that I used in History of the Future contains a fair amount of speculation about the economic and political future of the world, whereas the scenario in the World War III course is limited to the immediate ef- fects of nuclear attack. It doesn't even begin to consider the reasons for the war. And in that respect it resembles the film, The Day After. 1 did the lec- ture last year for the first time, in January of 1983, long before there was any film. Pegasus: What do you think the prox- imity of a nuclear war or a third world war is, when more and more of these types of shows are coming out? Did The Day After come out of the blue or is there something starting to build up so that people feel there is a third world war at hand? Wagar: The deteriorating relations be- tween the United States and the Soviet Union over the last several years is ob- viously responsible for some of this in- terest. But we were just as close to a nuclear war in 1974 or 1978 or 1964 or 1955 as we are now. We are a couple of breaths away from war at any time, because there are so many ways in which it could break out, and there are so many imponderables: so many ac- cidents can occur, so many miscalcula- tions that can occur as long as the weaponry is there and ready to go, and as long as we have this hair-trigger logic that requires we respond instantly to a provocation. War can break out at any time over almost anything, it doesn't have to be preceded by a prolonged political crisis or bad relations. Many of these bad relations are simply a matter of stage management anyway. It's a question of developing a threat of some kind for domestic consumption. That's another thing about 7984 that is very useful to bear in mind. War is an instrument in domestic policy in Orwell's novel. The war is constantly in progress. The war is intended by the leadership to serve domestic purposes and does so both in terms of economic policy and also gaining further control over the population. The country at war is more likely to troop obediently to the colors and listen to the leaders and ac- cept whatever the leaders want them to do. You also have a kind of cycle of peace activism which to some degree is in- dependent of politics. It is hard to say what triggers it. The number of major peace movements in the late 40s was a response to war weariness. We had just fought World War II and suddenly we were headed into the cold war with Russia. There was a lot of apprehension on the part of the people that we were getting ourselves into another great war situation. So there were some big peace movements at that time, triggered also by the fear of the atomic bomb, which was quite new at that time. We hadn't learned to live with the bomb as many people have by now. So there was a great moment of peace activism, that took the form to a large extent of a call for world political integration, a call for world government, or at least regional government. The NATO alliance is partly a response to that feeling for a need to get together to knock down the barriers that separated western nations. So, for several years, there was a lot of activism which was led to a great degree by the veterans of World War I1. But then, after Korea, that sort of punc- tured that balloon. The Korean War sort of brought us back to the hard hit- ting realities of fighting a difficult struggle against a military enemy. Then came the McCarthy years, and an intense fear of Communism. The Cold War was very much alive, and the peace activism sort of died away. But there was just as much need for it in the mid-fifties as there was in the late forties. Then it came back again in the end of the fifties and the early sixties, and there was a vast movement of nuclear pacifism and a demand for nuclear disarmament. I was present at the early stages of that British movement when I was a graduate student in Great Brit- ain. It was exhilarating to watch this movement take off as it did in the late fifties, and that continued on into the early sixties. And, there was, again, a call for some kind of world law and order, a call for disarmament, for stop- ping the testing of nuclear weapons, stopping the production of nuclear weapons and it's during this period that we had such great anti-war novels, such as On the Beach by Nevil Shute and 4 Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller. And shortly thereafter the film makers began making films. Within a few months of one another Failsafe and Dr. Strangelove came out. And earlier On the Beach was filmed with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner by Stanley Kramer. Right now we're seeing this all over again. There's been a peace movement for the past few years: a cry for a nuclear freeze followed by disarma- ment, an attack on the stationing of intermediate-range ballistic missiles on European soil, especially with this new generation of Pershing II and cruise missiles. A demand for phased general disarmament on the part of people from many walks of life: they've come together as they did in the sixties. And now films are starting to come out. In addition to The Day After there's Testament, and several more films are in the works. I would like to believe that this is the beginning of a groundswell of public protest that will overwhelm the nuclear establishments and the big powers in their defense departments and result in a complete, at least nuclear, disarma- ment of the world. I would like to believe that. But my sense of history tells me that this is just another one of these brief flurries of concern and agita- tion and it wil result, perhaps, in some increased awareness of the problems for a while, but if and when no concrete results are achieved, and that seems quite likely, I'm afraid, then public in- terest will gradually diminish. The problem with the warfare system is not one that can be solved by citizens demonstrating in front of military in- stallations or in front of the Pentagon. It's not something that can be attacked head-on. The warfare system is just part of a much larger system of social and political power relations in the world which are perfectly intelligible in terms of the long nature of human politics and the economic relations that underlie them. This kind of thing has been going on for a millennium. One can't stop it just by saying, Stop! One has to change the system from within, change the structures of power: make sure that the people really rule, which they don't do at the moment. They have somewhat more influence over the government than they did, say, four or five centuries ago, but they still are far from being in command of their destiny, and they're still far from having full say over the distribution, or for that matter, the pro- duction of wealth, which underlies the political process. g broive o Wty Yo SUNY-B AthletiGS: W hat Must Be Done By Matthew Mendelsohn had already resigned myself to SUNY-Binghamton's attitude towards athletics by the time I arrived here in 1980. It's a state school, I was told,what did you expect? I'm still not sure. I guess I always had this picture in my head of a packed gym--scores of students cheering on their teams. Boy, was I ever in for a rude awakening. I quickly discovered that the only 'time scores of students got together here was when the Phys-Ed budget needed to be cut. And the only time that an administrator would ever show up at a sporting event was when awards had to be given out. It didn't take very long to see that the athletic program at SUNY-B was no more than a vehicle for students and administrators to toy with. They saw athletics as a fringe benefit of public education. We'd pay our bills, they'd throw us a baseball team as a bonus. Perhaps they felt that a state school is supposed to be an inherently dull institution anyway. By not viewing athletics as an integral part of the education process our administrators could sidestep the issue of importance completely. It only takes a quick look at the hundreds of successful state schools in this country to realize that they all missed the boat. From Clifford Clark to Nell Jackson, from Ed Tacchi to the entire SA, students and administrators alike lost sight of the true value and meaning of athletics on a college campus. In their never ending pursuit of frugality these people forgot what it was they tossed around so freely. Athletics became a bargaining chip at SUNY-Binghamton. Maybe it's just plain old fashioned to think of athletics as anything more than that. In this day and age perhaps athletics have ceased to function as a source of in- dividual strength, character, and friend- ship. At least that seems to be the SUNY approach. All those traits can be garnered through academics in the eyes of SUNY ad- ministrators. Or perhaps they feel as though SUNY-Binghamton, as an institu- tion of higher education, isn't responsible for fostering anything outside the classroom at all. Those students desiring things such as tradition and a sense of school pride should look to private universities. It is thinking of this type that will some- day bury this university center. SUNY- Binghamton can no longer evade the issue. Faced with the undisputed need to attract more students, especially those ones who can no longer meet the costs of private Dr. Nell Jackson ...should step down universities, Binghamton administrators must address the problem of athletics now. President Clark must stop ignoring the in- evitable. In order for SUNY-Binghamton to realistically compete for any share of the growing number of disgruntled private university students, changes must be made. First and foremost is the financial at- titude of the present SUNY administration. Athletics must cease to be the monetary scapegoat of SUNY's budget woes. Cer- tainly any collegiate sports program costs money, but one which is properly struc- tured can generate its own revenue in no time at all. When three Binghamton swim- mers were selected to compete at the Na- tional Championships last year they were given $7.00 a day for food. They received no recognition from the Binghamton ad- ministration; indeed, it almost seemed as though their accomplishments presented more of an inconvenience than anything. Similarly, when the 1983 women's cross country team sent a squad to the National Championships and returned with two all- Americans, mum seemed to be the word. But when it came time for awards to be handed out Clark was quick to the scene. His token appreciation of the team's ef- forts must evolve into a sincere sense of in- debtedness. Athletes will always remain Continued on page 255 97 CCER Colonials Defy the Odds Yet Still Finish Season In Disappointment Booters Fall Short Colonials surprfse everyone as they unleash new scoring threats Mark Martens and Paul Wroblewski. But unexpected loss squelches post-season hopes By Logan Asnis . When the SUNY Binghamton men's soc- cer team dropped their late season match to Cortland they still had few worries about getting a NCAA Division III berth. The team's record stood at a respectable 10-4-3, and the next opponent the colonials would face was generally considered to be a push- over. Things looked pretty good. In fact, things looked so good that the team, as well as everyone else, was already looking foward to the season finale against Division I Colgate. Unfortunately for the Colonials, their season ended a game too early. Someone once wrote that things which are overlooked are best forgotten. In their haste to face Colgate it would appear that the Colonials simply overlooked the con- test against LeMoyne. The Dolphins were a pitiful 1-9-2 so the Colonials lackadaisical attitude seemed normal. However their oversight quickly turned into a nightmare they would never forget. The Dolphins 2-1 upset victory over the Colonials ended SUNY-B's hopes of going to the Division III tournament. Although the team did manage to defeat Colgate the next week the team they had not overlooked the best they could do was the ECAC upstate playoffs. The ECAC tournament, generally regarded as comparable to college basket- balls NIT, also proved to be a disappoint- ment for the Colonials. With 15 minutes left in their first round match against Alfred SUNY-B looked as though their vic- tory was assured. As midfielder Joe Sor- tino later admitted, I was already think- ing about tomorrows game. But for Sor- tino and the Colonials tomorrow never came. Two goals off the feet of Alfred's two finest players ended the Colonials season for good. But perhaps SUNY-B simply expected too much from this year's squad. Indeed, the Colonials did win a SUNYAC cham- pionship in 1982. But six key players were lost to graduation, and more were lost to academic ineligibility. The team was a young one and from the start it was felt that 1983 would simply be a year of rebuilding. That notion of rebuilding rapidly disap- peared as the Colonials came out punching. They won their own invitational tourna- ment for the third straight year, this time defeating the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and Division II Scranton. Later wins over Baruch and Oneonta, a tie with Ithaca, and a ninth ranking in the country, boosted the prospects for another banner year. The wave of Colonial support continued to rise. A few weeks later the Colonials came out in force in what turned out to be a record breaking 10-0 bombardment of Elmira. The game, which saw a hat trick by Paul Wroblewski, also marked a return for Pipe Dream reporter Jeff Knapp, who exchang- ed his pen and paper for a sweaty jersey and went on to score one of SUNY's 10 goals. The Colonials following game against low ranked Plattsburgh, however seemed to be a foreshadowing of later events. Against a team that was thought to be less than a formidable opponent SUNY-B found trouble getting points on the scoreboard. The result: a 1-0 Colonial loss. But no one really took notice of the loss as it was buried admidst a flurry of further Colonial victories. Houghton, Albany, Brockport, and a highly ranked Buffalo team all fell victim to the Colonials. The Colonials had advanced to the finals of the SUNYAC championship. Forget rebuilding, the Colonials had established themselves once again as a collegiate soc- cer power. However, the team's loss to Cortland in the finals, and then the losses to LeMoyne and Alfred quickly sobered everyone up. The Colonials finished their season with an 11-6-3 record and finished second in the SUNYAC East conference. Not bad for a rebuilding team. Goalie Harold Reuter and midfielder Leslie Adams were given all-SUNYAC honors. Paul Wroblewski led the Eastern division in scoring and Mark Martens held the team record in assists with 10. The team as a whole never gave up more than 2 goals in a game and boasted a record 8 shutouts. Perhaps they should rebuild more often. Photos by Matt Mendelsohn BASEBALLL Despite a disappointing finish, SUNY-B's baseball team posts an impressive 8-8 record during the fall season. And things look even more promising for the spring. l Photos by Matt Mendelsohn Colonial pitching ace Dan Tauken shows his form during the fall season. Tauken was an imposing figure on the mound, as well as in the batter's box. His power was the backbone of the Colonials' resurgence this year. 103 TRy T - TN Janet Rothenstein 104 y ;n.'i.;'i R g Colonials I'ind the Right Groove by Logan Asnis It looked as though they could do it all. With just four games left in their fall season the Colonial baseball team had increased their record to 8-4. Not bad considering they had only won a total of eight games in their two previous fall seasons. The team, under Coach Dan McCor- mack, had faced a tough schedule. Yet the Colonials came through with vic- tories over Division I Utica and Division II LeMoyne, a solid team which has seen post-season play for 12 straight year. The Colonials also defeated Oswego, a perennial Division I powerhouse which has dominated the SUNYAC Conference for the past two years. Along with their victories, the Col- onials also had their share of star per- formers. Junior Dan Tauken turned in another spectacular year as pitcher, highlighted by a two hit, 13 strike out performance against Scranton. Return- ing hurler, Andy Persampire also turned in a superb season. Offensively the Colonials were spurred by Neil Shapiro, who boasted a .415 batting average, outfielder Dave Dini, who hit an even .400, and last year's all- SUNYAC freshman, Neil Berg, a dangerously consistent hitter who off the field donned the outfit of a Colonial soldier and rallied fan support at SUNY-B athletic events. In their final four games, however, the Colonials saw the end of their hopes for a winning season. Doubleheaders with Ithaca and Mansfield were swept from Colonial mitts, leaving SUNY-B with an even 8-8 record. Still, the Col- onials .500 record marks the best fall season in several years. At the beginning of the season Coach McCormack felt that this year would be a rebuilding one. With only one senior on the team, and a strong recruiting program that has produced many freshman hopefuls, it would appear that prospects for the Spring, as well as for the future, can only be promising. Janet Rothenstein - RUGBY A collegiate tradition finds a home at SUNY- Binghamton as the Tasmanian Devils dig in. Thc fall season of 1983 holds many memories for the Tasmanian Devils Rugby Club. Some memories will be honored, like six wins in eight matches during one mid-season stretch, Others should be forgotten, like the 24- 0 mistake at Oswego State to open the year. But most will remember Fall 1983 as the season when rugby found its place at SUNY-Binghamton. The rugby club began its fourth year struggling not only to find its own image as a team, but also to be recognized as an exciting spectator sport. In the past attendance was low, and the Tasmanian Devils had problems winning. But in 1983, the team came together as a cohesive unit, standing as a power to be reckoned with even by some of the state's toughest clubs. With more assured confidence on the field, fan support grew. Just as the team as a whole found its place during the fall, so did several individual players find their places within it. Rob Brusca, Kevin Cornacchio and Wes VanVoorhees found starting sports in their first year as rugby club members. Brusca was unanimously selected as rookie of the year. His learning ability, coupled with his strength and agility, earned him the respect of opponents and teammates alike. All three gentlemen are expected to make major contributions this spring. Bill Seward, Mike Delano and Chris Fix won starting roles in the fall of 1983 as well. Seward, who found the outside center position to his liking, greatly benefitted the club with his speed and - Matt Mendelschn Above: The four essential elements of any Rugby match fans, frost, balls, and beef. Each contributes equally to the carnival atmosphere which permeates each match: Left: A Tasmanian Devil dishes the ball off to a teammate. 108 continued from preceeding page benefitted the club with his speed and attitude. He will be looked to for his leadership in the coming seasons. Fix replaced injured star Brian Corner midway through the season as scrum- half. Corner, a wise, nine year rugby veteran, was not an easy man to replace, but Fix did so with the style and grace only a winner possesses. He was voted most improved player of the season by his teammates. Delano was another who found a steady place as the season progressed. After playing at both inside and outside center, winger and even the brutal prop positions, Delano finally settled in a fly-half, next to Fix. Here, Delano made excellent use of his kick- ing and faking abilities. Josh Rosenblum, who had played at the winger position for most of his career, moved in to the inside center between Seward and Delano. At the wing, Rosenblum was able to showcase his individual defensive fireworks. But at inside center, his experience helped fill gaps in the defense and added con- tinuity to the offensive attack. Joe Ponticello, conversely, shifted from outside center to the wing position. This switch made better use of the Italian Stallions blinding speed and steady tackling ability. Ponticello finished the season as one of Binghamton's all-time leading scorers. Both Rosenblum and Ponticello will return in the spring, as Devil hopes rest on this experienced backfield. Another returning starter is fullback Steve Williams, who has started at that position since returning midseason from a summer ankle injury., Williams has displayed excellent punt selection and sure fielding of kicks from the opposition. He will undoubtedly play a key role in the spring. Binghamton's trio of forwards will also return this spring. Joe Longo, David Bosnick and captain Skip Rizzo added strength, speed and wisdom to the Devil attack. Wing-forwards Bosnick and Longo spent the fall terrifying opposing scrum-halves and laying enemy backfields to waste. Rizzo, at the number 8 position, controlled the Binghamton forwards set offense, and is known statewide for his alert, even sneaky style of play. Dave Raphael, Fall 1983's most valuable player, contributed immensely to the Tasmanian Devils success. At the hooker position, he was personally responsible for controlling the ball for the Devils in the set play. His churning, shifty running style and n - visceral defense are also noteworthy. Raphael will complete his Binghamton career next spring. Dave Watrous, however, will be sorely missed when the spring season opens. Watrous has played every position on the field at some time during his career at Binghamton. He spent the early part of the fall filling in for Williams at fullback, and later at the winger position, where his instincts guided him to several outstanding plays. Watrous graduated in December. Bill Conlon, Harold Whitaker, Bob Simon, Doug DeSimone, Pablo LaChia, Steve Smith, Ed Caro, Joe Slattery and Steve Cramer all deserve mention as contributors. These players from Binghamton's second side added depth and support to the Fall 1983 rugby experience. All will be present in the spring. Though the Tasmanian Devils finished the Fall 1983 season with a 6-6 record, it will still be remembered as one of the best. Not only did individual players find their own places within the team, but rugby also found its place alongside soccer, basketball and baseball as a prominent, exciting spectator sport at SUNY-Binghamton. Matt Mendelsohn Women's SOCCLER The SUNY-Binghamton's Women's Soccer Club proved in 1984 that it is more than ready to shed its club title and take on the full responsibility of a varsity squad. Part of the reason which the soccer club deserves its varsity title are the 27 active members who devoted more than three hours a day, six days a week for nearly nine weeks to bring a unique mixture of will and skill into a final 9-5 season. The team is fairly represented by freshmen, sophomores, juniors and graduate students. Most importantly, the team received a strategist and strong believer in vigorous conditioning in Coach Christos Dimitriou. And of course, the women booters were further blessed by the positive outlook and ad- miration from assistant coach Don Westervett, who as a student himself contributed his foremost enthusiasm and glee voluntarily. I speak of our newly formed attack- ing forward line made up of strikers sophomore Faith Dursty totalling 15 goals, and Chris Endres, totalling 7 goals, and freshman Kathleen Endres, a winger with immeasurable respon- siveness to spontaneity of play. Erica Mandel, Jackie Blaszczykiewicz, and Cara Urmston displayed tremendous offensive energy throughout the season. In the midfield, Katie Donaher, co- captain, and Anne Vucic were the steel pivots and intermediate counterpoints on the field displaying theirs and the team's strongest foundation of personal best in all overall game skills. And Laura L. J. Draski, labeled as a magnanimous and persevering player, also took her stand in the midfield as a wing player. Moving back into the defense, the women booters created a strong wall of fullbacks. They introduced a young, but energetic and aggressive, all around player from Union-Endicott High School, Margaret Sullivan, co-captain, as the sweeper back. Returning players Joana Liu, Tere Green, Jody Borzirelli, and a very determined stalker-type defensive player characteristic of freshman Jineen Cuddy constituted the back field. Also, along with goalie Marah Searle, they allowed only an average of 1.64 goals per game in their 14 game season. With a season which included 7 shutouts and an average of 3.36 goals per game, the women booters boasted unusually high scores; they beat all of the area's club teams and included in their list of wins some varsity teams also. 109 - Amid speculation that the Binghamton sports program would never be competetive, our athletes show us what they're truly made THERIGHT STUFF continued from page 31 The question that the rest of the country is asking is can a team be successful with basketballs that cost $4? Nutshell, a national magazine distributed in colleges, chose SUNY-B as the focus of its story in students allocating funds to their athletics department. The article, which appeared in its fall issue with a picture of former Colonial guard Kevin Harrington, was entitled The Power of the Purse, and it dealt with the interesting posi- tion that department is put in, when it is forc- ed to send faculty members to beg and bargain with the Student Assembly during budgel hearings. Assistant Athletic Director Robert Kreidler was quoted as saying the system of student control is degrading. I've done the budget for years, read Kreidler's quote, and I know more about running the show than students do. Sure, I can go to the five-and-dime and get a basketball for $4, but you know how long it's going to last. The caption underneath the photo reads, 'SUNY-Binghamton's assis- tant athletic director resents $4 basketballs. SA president John Cahill ripped Kreidler for his comments. Your implication that it is 'degrading' 1o deal with students on budgelary, and by implication, other mat- ters, wrote Cahill in a letter to Kreidler, reveals a blatant lack of confidence in the ability of students to function as intelligent individuals. Fortunately for SUNY-B, a couple of ladies named Alice Willis and Marilyn Milligan saved face in the eyes of the nation. Willis, a junior, and Milligan, a senior, gained All-American status by finishing in the top 25 runners in the Division Il National Cross Country Cham- S TR fnse e S I pionships. Teammates Joycelyn Seybold, Luci Benzoni, Doris Delmonaco, Jeanne Wiliams, and Darielle Olicker helped the team gain a fifth place finish in the meel. The women won the SUNYAC's, finished third in the East behind Cortland and Fitchburg MA and third in the state behind Cortland and Ithaca. Undoubtedly SUNY-B's most valuable athelete of the semesler, Alice Willis simply ran away from the best competition in the na- tion and established herself as a lop name in the field. She won every race in the regular season, including viclories al Albany, Lock Haven, Oswego, and here at the Binghamton Invitational. She won the SUNYAC's in a course record. She finished third in the state and third in the East, behind the same two runners from Cortland and lthaca. And she took twelfth place in the nationals, earning All-American status. Proving herself as one of the best natural athletes in the school's history, Willis accomplished all this in only her fourth year of cross-country. Unfortunately for cross-country coach Gary Truce, there was no male counterpart to Willis. Chuck Ellis, a senior transfer from R..T., came close but couldn't carry the team in one of its rare frustration seasons. Decimated by the loss of outstanding runners Kurt Kroemer an All-American, Rob Tim- mons and Dan Patrick, the inexperienced and injury-laden team struggled throughout. Ellis took seventh place in the East and finished a disappointing 106th in the Nationals, even though he ran a season-best time. Dave Gugerty, the team's only other senior had a successful season, as did Pete Van Amson and Ed Kearns. Just how successful of a season did the SUNY-B soccer team have? Considering this season was dedicated to rebuilding, the booters' 11-6-3 mark didn't seem half bad. Bul perhaps SUNY-B soccer fans have been spoiled; the 1980 team won the state cham- pionship and the 1982 team was runner-up to that tlitle, and SUNYAC champs to boot. The 1983 Colonials repeatedly teased their fans by offering little peeks at their potential to reach those heights, and just when they were ready lo charter the fan bus, the Col- onials shuddered and shook in a schizophrenic fit. The loss of 11 starters and super subs to assorted reasons seemed bad enough, but when the starting center-midfielder was run over by his own teammate in an early prac- tice and sidelined for the entire season, the stage was set for an all-time low. But ap- parently coach Tim Schum was prepared, and his patchwork team sported talent, heart and a fine knack for defensive play. The booters lost only three of their first 16 games, climaxing with a win in game 16 against Division lI's third-ranked team, Buf- falo State in the semi-finals of the SUNYAC championships. Goalkeeper Harold Reuter, who with midfielder Leslie Adams were All- SUNYAC selections, registerd the seventh of this eight seasonal shutouts as the Colonials won, 1-0 behind Paul Wroblewski's goal. Reuter and his solid defenseive front, spearheded by co-captain George Hagar, Mike Capan and freshman Jim Shapiro, total- ly shut down the two leading scorers in the SUNYAC, John Bussani and conference MVP Robert DiNunzio. Wroblewski, with 24 regular season points, was the leading scorer in the SUNYAC East and won many other games for the Colonials with his scrappy play. Wroblewski helped the colonials celebrate game 10 by scoring a hat trick in a 10-0 rout of Elmira which featured a cameo ap- pearance by, of all people, Pipe Dream's soccer reporter. At the behest of coach Schum, Jeff Knapp, a former varsity soccer player, switched clothes with one of the players during the second half, entered the game and scored SUNY-B's final goal. It seemed as if the Colonials had com- plemented their fine defense with an effective offensive attack; forward Mark Martens demonsiraled fine talent while setling a team record 10 assists, and freshman center- halfback John Sherman, replacing injured Nicoll Charles, proved to be a fine two-way player. But the season fell through the Col- onials' hands as they lost three of their final four games, all by a 2-1 score. After SUNY-B fell to Cortland in the SUNYAC finals, Pipe Dream editor Knapp commented on the Colonials upcoming games al the end of his story: SUNY-B i takes on LeMoyne, 4 a team which is historically an easy victory for the Colonials, should boost SUNY-B's record . Saturdays' match ; against W,' Colgate, i - TRk - away, will take a considerably larger Colonial effort if they are to succeed. Doing their best imitation of a schizophrenic soccer team, the Colonials lost to LeMoyne, then beat Colgate. the 1-9-2 LeMoyne Dolphins who earlier had beaten Utica Tech loaded up its slingshot and knocked SUNY-B clear out of the NCAA Tournament. And it wasn't the first time a team of Davids slew the mighty Colonial Goliaths; midway through the season, the Colonials followed its mighty 10-0 victory over Elmira with a 1-0 loss to SUNYAC doormat Plattsburgh State. SUNY- B's 1-0 victory over Division I Colgate brought an ECAC bid, but the booters fell in the semi's to Alfred. It was the second time this season that Alfred had hosted SUNY- Binghamton and defeated it, 2-1. Following the- lead of the larger, more established soccer program, the Colonial baseball team also faded in the important stretch run of its fall campaign. But two things separated the late-season blues that both teams suffered: first, nobody ever ex- pected the Colonial baseball team to achieve any success, and second, its losses came to some of the finest competition it has ever faced. After doubleheader splits with Oneonta and LeMoyne, and sweeps over Scranton and Hartwick, the team found itself sporting a 6-2 record, practically unheard of for a SUNY-B baseball team. Then coach Dan Mc- Cormack's squad beat Division I Utica in the first game of a doubleheader and lifted the Colonial record to, lord, 7-2. When Utica knocked the Colonials back to earth with a 6-2 victory in the nightcap, many thought SUNY-B would begin its nosedive. But the Colonials came right back, edging defending SUNYAC champion Oswego, 3-2. Then they nosedived. They lost the nightcap and their nex! two twinbills to Division lll power Ithaca and Division Il Mansfield, to finish with an 8-8 mark. The season was a fine preliminary for the more important spring campaign. Pitchers Dan Tauken and Andy Persampire proved they were ready by each compiling 3-1 records. They can combine as an awesome 1-2 punch in spring doubleheaders; Persam- pire is a finesse pilcher who walks very few and big Dan Tauken is a forceful hurler who can be overpowering, as he proved by strik- ing out 13 batters in a 10-0 2-hit shutout of Scranton. Both are also quite adept with the bat; Tauken, naturally, is a very effective power hitter. University of Conneclicut transfer Neil Shapiro supplied much of the team's power. Shapiro batted .415 while playing a very consistent first base. Outfielder Dave Dini batted an even 400 and centerfielder Neil Woody Berg, an All-SUNYAC selection in the spring as a freshman, also contributed with bat, glove and mouth. Berg, spirited and enthusiastic to the max, replaced Colonial Bill as SUNY-B's mascol. After baseball season, Berg donned the Colonial get-up, loaded up his cap gun, reorganized the SUNY-B Psycho Squad, and made soccer and basketball games all the more fun to cheer at. After dropping two of its first three mat- ches, not many people were cheering for the women's tennis team. But coach Curt Coutts' squad realized those first two losses were suffered at the hands of Syracuse and Cor- nell, and that is certainly no reason 1o despair; Cornell's number one singles player was ranked number one in the country in the Matt Mendeisohn Clockwise from top left: Women's soccer coach Christos Dimitriou helped the Booters to a winning season, Chuck Ellis in early season action; Colonial Woody entertained both young and old alike at home soccer games; 8-8 baseball team had something to look up to in 83-84. photos by 111 continued from page 111 under 18 category, and Syracuse was so strong this year that they moved their number three player from the previous year down to number seven. So the Colonials took out their frustration on their next three opponents, shutting out Hartwick, Oneonta and lthaca, 9-0 each. After suffering a 4-3 loss to another tough school, Colgate, the women ended their 6-3 regular season with a 5-4 victory over Cortland and a 9-0 thrashing of Hamilton. As a reward, six women were invited to Rochester to compete in the Division Ill State Championships. Karen Karlewicz, Diane Serenson, Stefanie Benado, Bonnie Loedel, Ava Manilow and Amy Bailey brought back the crown. The women shared the ftitle of co-state champions with R.,T., and freshman Loedel and Benado were crowned doubles state champions, a feat no two Col- onial women have ever achieved. Loedel and Benado won five malches en route to the title and outscored their opponents by a whopp- ing 63-26. The other doubles team of Bailey and Manilow won one of their three matches, and in singles competition, both Karlewicz and Serenson each won three of their five malches. As a result, SUNY-B and R..T. finished tied with 26 total points and Vasser trailed with 24. Karlewicz, a senior, had originally been seeded seventh in the lournament. After gathering a 12-3 overall record last year, the men's tennis team was supposed to be having the type of season the women had. Yet though their autumn was a suc- cessful one, the men couldn't match their female counterparts. They took a bealing from Division Il Boelmsburg, in their opener, 8-1, and then returned the favor by whipping LeMoyne by the same score. The Colonials finished their short season in the same pat- tern, falling to Oswego, 6-3, but thrashing Oneonta, 8-1. Senior Jim Clark sparked the team from his number one singles position, winning his last three regular season matches. But the thrills came in the SUNYAC championships. Senior southpaw Scott Greene, who also won his last three regular matches and who was seeded third at the fourth singles posi- tion in the SUNYAC's, won his bracket, and paced the Colonials to a third place finish. Greene, Clark, Chris Olsen, Andy Boyland and Barry Goldberg represented the team at the tourney and the doubles team of Boyland and Clark went to the semi-finals before be- ing knocked out by the eventual winners. The Division Il state championships in volleyball were held right here and the Col- onial varsity women capped a successful season with a tenth place finish in the tourna- ment. After sweeping Rochester and Oswego in their home opener and copping third place in the Oneonta and Binghamton Invitationals, the women earned a twelfth place seeding in the 1B-tearn state tournament. Senior co- captains Lee Ann Tierney and Lisa Poupard led the Colonials to victories over Stonybrook, Siena and Plattsburgh en route to the tenth-place finish. In the second game of the 15-8, 15-8 victory over Platisburgh, Sue Rinde, Dawn Moore and Evelyn DelLuca combined for eight service aces to stun the Cardinal defense. The SUNY-B women's soccer club, stil siriving for varsity status, stunned some defenses of its own, bombing New Paltz, 7- 0, Wells, 7-0 and B.C.C. 6-0 and 3-0. New coach Christos Dimitriou, a former B.C.C. player himself, took the women a step further lo varsity by coaching the team to a -5 record. Standout co-captain Katie Donaher paced the club from her center-halfback spot, and sisters Chris and Kathleen Endres were as effective of a sibling scoring threat as Paul and Mark Wroblewski, high-scoring forwards on the men's varsity team. A couple of other SUNY-B club teams also started lo make a name for themselves. The Tasmanian Devil Rugby Club drew scores of fans to their games, and won most of them as well. Their reputation sky-rocketed all over the east, as they proved they could play good rugby with most anyone. Their painted faces, free kegs and, well, different attitude toward sports and life have added quite a bit of color to the SUNY-B sports scene. If any single athlete will bring serious recognition to the SUNY-B sports scene, Aaron Katz will. The founder and co-captain of the SUNY-B racquetball club, Katz is un- doubtedly the best athlete at his respective i m 4 e i ' n. i T sport that the school has to offer. After buy- ing his first racquet as a freshman in 1980, Katz has catapulted to national status as one of the top ten amateur racquetball players in America. The racquetball club had a suc- cessful autumn, highlighted by a 12-15 vic- lory over nemesis Cortland. The intramural scene provided exciting play and some satisfying victories. After fall- ing in the finals two years ago, and after be- ing turned back at the goal line in the semi- finals the year after, LxUxSH finally attain ed the sought after IM 'A League football li- tle. Quarterback Elliot Amster ran for the only score following a Marc Strongin interception o pace LxUxSkH to a 7-1 victory over Totally Mellow. Chemical Wastes, a team comprised of Chemistry teacher assistants, fell in the B League title game, 27-0 to Jungle Land. Some of the guys from Jungle Land returned as Southside Oak Madness in basketball season and own the IM hoops B League fitle, 53-48 over In and Oul. Former varsity basketball players Steve Schlussler and Doug Kenah led Hooligans to a 43-39 victory over Pot Luck in the A League litle game and the Mulliple Morgue- asms defeated the Cyclo Hexanes, 31-39 for the Recreational League Championship. So, the Christmas list is complete. By the time the Yule Log was tossed on the fire, nobody could think of a present for the SUNY-B Athletic Department. In the fall of 1983, it had everything. 113 1S The Year In Sports, Part 11 T 4 '4 i L rre - ' - 'h.. ! e N N Pp ' - .. . 1st singles player Jim Clark ripped into his opponents earning him an invitation to the Division Il National Tournament It wasthe best of times, It wasthe best of times. THERIGHT STUFF One was a given that gave more than it ever has. The other was a shocker that shook the school like none before. SUNY-Binghamton has come to expect great things from coach Steve Erber's wres- tling teams, perennial contenders in national Division Il competition. Yet the grapplers reached new heights this past winter hosting and placing third in the NCAA national tourna- ment and serving up a national champion of their own, junior Tom Pillari. In the meantime, the seemingly ill-fated men's basketball pro- gram reached stratospherical heights, gathering its first winning season since 1975-76, and providing the base for a spirit and pride unfamiliar to SUNY-Binghamton athletics. When he was named as John Affleck's replacement in September, men's basketball coach Dave Archer predicted the Colonials would reverse last season's 9-15 mark. Sure enough, Archer was right on target. The Col- onials capped their 15-9 regular season with an 85-73 victory over Oneonta before a record crowd of 2,425 delirious people. No SUNY-B basketball team had ever won 15 games before. And, no SUNY-B basketball team had ever competed in a post-season game until the Colonials were given a berth in the expanded five-team ECAC Upstate Division Il Tourna- ment. Tournament officials couldn't decide between Binghamton and Albany State for the final bid in what is usually a four-team event, so the two clubs played each other off. Ironically, the tourney officials suggested Part IT the game be played in Binghamton, primarily because of SUNY-B's potential to draw the bigger crowd. The Colonials didnt disappoint the paid crowd of more than 1,100 people, edging the Great Danes, 46-44. The fun continued. SUNY-B met Hamilton, the tournament's host and top seed, in the semifinals. At the time, the Continentals were three-time defending ECAC champions and had knocked off 42 siraight Division opponents on their holy home court. At half- time, SUNY-B held a 34-27 lead. With 12 seconds left in the game, the Colonials led, 58-57. Then the fun ended. SUNY-B lost, 61- 58 and Hamiton went on to win the tour- nament for the sixth time in the last nine years. It wasn't the first time SUNY-B had tortured Hamilton. Earlier in the season, the Colonials lost to the Continentals in the Hamilton Invita- tional, 63-62, one of many nailbiters in which SUNY-B ended up on the wrong end of the score. Early in the season, SUNY-B was edged by Upsala, 55-52. Upsala, whose front line is taller than the N.Y. Knicks', made it to the NCAA Division lll Final Four. Perennial powerhouse Potsdam, winner of five straight East Regional titles, national champion in 1981 and runner-up twice in the last five years, nipped the Colonials here, 61- 60, in a controversial overtime affair. SUNY-B guard Greg 'Clyde Fleming stole the ball and hit a lay-up on the regulation buzzer to apparently win the game. But the referee ruled that Fleming was fouled before the lay-up, and since no time remained on the clock and 117 Pt Loa rast 5 T SPORTS nnlnx WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS 8 Colonials Rom 2 Face .F,'T'w -mw p, ?u:ef HOUSIOn, 59-57 f:lx in NLAA Einal z BT SR B O 3 Pillari Captures National Championship; Colonials Third Best In Country By Jay Levy The SUNY Binghamion wrestling nrogram had its cake and was abie 10 eat it 100 this weekend as it hosted the I o mpionships a1 the West Gym .

Potsdam wasn't in the penalty situation, the referee discounted the basket and an- nounced the overtime. In their other seasonal meeting, the Bears topped visiting SUNY-B, 72-66. Arch-rival Albany slipped past SUNY-B, 62-60, in the last second of overtime before 2,150 people. But the Colonials took their revenge, winning at Albany for the first time ever, 65-55. Most of the players considered that game the season's highlight. Most spectators might point to SUNY-B's 79-77 double overtime victory in Ithaca as the seasonal highlight that is, those spec- tators who were still around to witness the game's end. Freshman Mark Wright bagged a cool jumper on the regulation buzzer to cap a 16-point comeback. All-SUNYAC forward Derek Pankey took a feed underneath from Greg Spider' Pollard and hit the winning basketl with two seconds left in the second overtime. Pankey, the team's leading scorer 17.7 and rebounder 10.8, submitted an extrater restrial performance at Geneseo, pacing the Colonials to an 83-77 victory with 34 points and 31 rebounds. Though nobody knew it during the season, Pankey, listed as a junior, was playing his last college games - two junior varsity games in his freshman year of 1980 used up his alloted four years of eligibility. The only recognized senior on the squad was point guard Pollard, the team's Most Valuable Player. Co-captain Pollard, named fo the All-SUNYAC East team and given All-SUNYAC honorable mention, shat- tered his own record of 159 assists in a season by dealing 208. Pollard efficiently ran a fast break that was largely responsible for the immense popularity of the team each game was played baseline-to-baseline, run- ning and gunning. Co-captain-elect Fleming ran past everyone, an absolute pleasure to watch and co-captain Marty Young fit right in with the flow. While the Colonials finally made it into the state spotlight, the SUNY-B campus basked in some national exposure, thanks to Steve Erber's successful wrestling program. Erber and the Colonials hosted 74 teams in the 11th annual Division lll National Champion- ships, and managed a third-place finish, behind champion Trenton State and Augsburg Minn.. SUNY-B placed a school- record five All-Americans third place finishers John Leo 118 Ibs., Mike Truncale 150 and Keith Cavayero 167, fifth-place finisher John Egitto 134 and champion Pillari. Pillari experienced a fairy tale season. Undefeated in 12 dual meets, he capped a perfect season by taking three major postseason titles. First, he decisioned Col- umbia's Ron Wolowiec, 8-3, in January's state tournament also held here for the 177 Ib. title. The state tourney includes every collegiate division as Pillari proved himself the best in New York, bar none. He breezed through his opponents in February's SUNYAC tourney, defeating Cortland's John Scesa, 10-2, for the championship. Two weeks later, second-seeded Pillari edged Wheaton's 118 John Lancster, 4-3, for the national title, the first Colonial wrestler to achieve the honor since Steve Cavayero's 142 Ib. triumphs in 1977 and 1978. As champion, Pillari earned the right to compete in the Division I nationals in the Meadowlands Arena. There, he whipped Clemson's Gary Nivens, 13-4, in the first round before losing by riding time the sixth criterion in a tied match to an All-American from Penn State, Bob Harr. While Pillari gathered all three jewels in the wrestling ftriple crown, his teammates also sparkled. Senior John Leo won his first SUNYAC title, while finishing third in both the states and the nationals. Ithaca's Bob Panariello the top seed and runner-up in the nationals spoiled Leo's bid in both tournaments. Like Pillari, junior Mike Truncale also compiled a perfect record in dual meets. He peaked in the SUNYAC's, winning the 150 Ib. title and being named the tournament's outstanding wrestler. A rib injury kept him out of the states, but he returned to place third in the nationals. Junior Keith Cavayero breezed through the SUNYAC's for his second conference cham- pionship. A knee injury forced Cavayero fo forfeit two maiches in the state tourney, but like Truncale, he rebounded for a third-place finish in the Nationals. Wrestling with sepa- rated ribs, Cavayero lost in the national semifinals to eventual champion Chris Casey of Augusana lll.. SUNY-B's fifth All-American was senior John Egitto. Despite sore ribs that kept him out of the state tourney, Egitto placed second in the SUNYAC's and eighth in N YD - N Q x the Nationals. Heavyweight Chris Mackin and 142-pounder Gary Bochner also competed in the nationals, capping successful seasons. Erber was named Division lll co-coach of the year for the second time in his 15-year career. New Coach E. Leon Coates guided the SUNY-B women's basketball team to their first ever SUNYAC playoff berth. An overtime victory over Albany and a Plattsburgh- Potsdam weekend sweep enabled the i vae Cy L - - s - il women fo gather a 3-3 SUNYAC mark, good for second place in the conference. In the quarterfinals, high-powered forward Helene Thomas hit over 70 of her shots from the field and scored 20 points to lead the Col- onials to a 66-58 victory over Plattsburgh. The women fell to Buffalo State in the semifinals, 78-49. Days before the men won at Albany for the first time ever, the women used some late- game theatrics to stop by the Danes in over- Matthew Mendeisohn 118 MNational champ-Piltarifeft most of his oppofients -';!'E' on the mat. Here he is shown during 1st round victory at the Meadowlands. time, 67-65. Kathy Abbolt's jumper with one second left in regulation sent the game into overtime and Terry Wilson's desperation shot at the overtime buzzer gave the Colonials the win. The victory kicked off a five-game win- ning streak, as Wilson, Abbott and Thomas combined with the rebounding and scoring prowess of Diane McDermott to place the Colonials in one of their most successful Seasons ever. Standout diver Karen Jao highlighted a disappointing 4-7 season for the women's swimming team. Top-seeded Jao won the one-meter diving competition in the SUNYAC's, while senior Marianne Rogers broke the school's 100-yard butterfly record Days before the men won at Albany for the first time ever, at the meet. Rogers, Corny Kamp, Colleen Chapman, Collen McDonald and June Gunther provided most of the ac- tion for the women. Sophomore Dominique Torres experienced somewhat of a disap- pointing season, in contrast with her phenomenal freshman season. The men's swimming team sent seven representatives 1o the SUNYAC's. Captain John Daly, Jim Nealon, Steve Monroe, Rich McGuirk, Dave Goering, Neal Cohen and diver Pete Vasek all attended the tourney. The Colonials ended their season in exciting fashion, pulling ahead of Geneseo in the last event, 56-55. The 400-meter relay team of Larry Farkas, Marc Schumann, Stu Glassman and Neal Cohen picked up the seven points necessary for the victory. Their 3-7 regular season mark was the best since 1979-80. Coach Gary Truce's talented women's track team managed a successful indoor campaign. The women capped their record- breaking season with a fourth place finish in the SUNYAC's and a ninth place finish out of 25 teams in the ECAC tourney. Alice Willis took the ECAC 800-mefer title with a school and ECAC record. Wilis and Joycelyn Seybold, Darielle Olicker and Jeanne Williams broke a school record while placing third in the 800-meter relay at the ECAC event. Truce's men's team took sixth in the SUNYAC's and 17th in the state. Bill Lavelle cleared 14 feet in the pole vault and took first place in the state meet with a school record. Don Smith triple-jumped more than 44 feet for second place in the state. Competing in his first meet of the season, Robert Collins took first place in the long jump with a leap of over 22 feet. Considering the limited training facilities, both track teams enjoyed suc- cessful seasons. The SUNY-B hockey club also struggled with limited facilities but still managed a 9-8- 2 mark. The up-and-down Colonials registered routes over Stony Brook 14-2, Elmira 8-4 and Clinton 5-1. Freshman Mike O'Donnell and Chris Braglia provided the scoring punch and veterans Tomm Gladd, Wall Blaschuk and Brian Gaon paced the Col- onials, who are still striving for varsity status. The women's soccer club and the hockey club were both disappointed again, partly because of a failed referendum that would have helped provide funding. The highlight of the spring was the women's softball team, who completed their most successful year ever with a 12-3 record in regular season play. Led by pitcher Nancy Boch, who was awarded the MVP award, the team took first place in the SUNYAC Eastern Division. In a fight for the overall SUNYAC title against perennial Western Division powerhouse Buffalo State, the Colonials won a bruising 15-inning battle by a 1-0 score, but lost the series by drop- ping the nex! two games. The Colonials earned the third seed in the New York State tournament held in Oswego. The womens's tennis team continued their fall success by capping a 6-1 spring season with an 8-1 thrashing of Albany. Freshman Loedel was one of 32 players in the entire country invited 1o compete in the National Championships in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Men's tennis won five of its seven spring malches, and saw first singles player Jim Clark also selected to compete in the Divi- sion Il National Championships at Emory University in Atlanta. Colonial Baseball achieved most of its success in the SUNYAC conference, but was edged out of playoff contention in the final SUNYAC game against Eastern Division champ Cortland State. Women's track completed a successtul 1984 campaign with a fifth-place finish in the SUNYAC championships. Alice Willis led a strong team by qualifying for the Nationals in three events. Matthew Mendelsohn 121 122 In what was dubbed a rebuilding year, men's track experienced unex- pected achievements for such a young squad. The surprising strength of the sprinters overwhelmed opponents as the 100-yard dash school record was broken twice, once by Rob Hustick and then Alton Bowes. Bowes' performance in the SUNYACs earned him a trip to the National Championships. The men's cross country teams have built a tradition as one of the winningest teams at the State University of New York at Binghamton. Over the years, they have placed high in state, regional, and national level competition. However, the 1983 team suffered from injuries and the graduation of Kurt Kroemer, the team's top performer in 1982. This year's team established a dual meet record of three wins and three losses and ran in the middle of the pack in championship meets. Although the team did not ac- complish the level of success as some teams of the past, the future looks bright for the Binghamton team. Except for seniors Dave Gugerty and Chuck Ellis, the team was comprised of several freshmen and other developing under- classmen. There were vast improve- ments with several runners and the team learned how to run well in a pack in large competition. This year's team was led by senior transfer student Chuck Ellis, whose outstanding performance in the NCAA Qualifier enabled him to compete in the National Championship in Newport News, Virginia. Throughout the season, Ellis was followed closely by freshman standout Ed Kearns. Kearns was the most consistent runner on the team. He shows great promise as a collegiate runner. Several other athletes rounded out the top positions on the team. These runners included senior captains Dave Gugerty and Victor Paladino, along with Jerry Wallin; junior Peter van Am- son; sophomores James Collins and Chris Craig; and freshmen Chris Moran, Jack Pook and Scott Whittaker. All these runners shared equal abilities and success. Two other top runners in- jured through the majority of the season were Joel Goldstein and Jorge Gutier- rez. Several other athletes provided ex- cellent team depth. The team, under the direction of head coach Dr. Gary Truce and assistant coach Mr. John Colonna, will un- doubtedly be a contender at major meets in the future. The coaches feel this year's team was, for the most part, young and inexperienced, buf loaded with talent. Caoch Truce, since his ar- rival on campus in 1968, has taken four men's teams to National Champion- ships and has compiled a dual meet record of 145 wins, 14 losses and 1 tie. CROSS COUNTRY 123 Nineteen women comprised the most exciting team in the history of SUNY- Binghamton cross country. The 1983 Colonials managed an undefeated season in dual meets, a third place finish in the NYSAIAW State Cham- pionship, a third place finish in the ECAC Eastern Championship, a first place finish in the SUNY Athletic Con- ference, a second place finish in the NCAA Qualifier and a fifth place finish in the NCAA Division 111 Na- tional Championship in Newport News, Virginia. The 1983 team was a young team with a great deal of desire. At the onset of the season, things looked somewhat bleak for the harriers. Two runners from the previous year had transferred and two other runners had returned from summer training with foot in- juries. Several of the runners making up the team had no cross country background. However, through dedica- tion and persistence, the team overcame their problems and became the pride of SUNY-Binghamton. Throughout the season, the women trained as a complete unit and ran their races in a tight pack. Excellent team leadership was provided by captains Marilyn Milligan, Alice Willis, Joycelyn Seybold and Cathy Jacoby. Senior, Marilyn Milligan, and Junior, Alice Willis, finished their season with All-American status as a result of their finish in the National Championships. Milligan placed twenty-first and Willis finished twelfth in the nation. Besides Willis outstanding finish in the Na- tional Meet, she was undefeated in all dual meets and was the SUNY Athletic Conference Champion. She and sophomore teammate, Joycelyn Seybold, both received the honor of be- ing members of the SUNYAC Hall of Fame for their outstanding perfor- mances in the conference championship. Besides the captains, Milligan, Willis, Seybold and Jacoby, the team received additional strength from sophomores Lucia Benzoni, Darielle Olicker, Doris Delmonaco, Kate Loin, and Maureen Donohue. Freshman standouts Jeanne Williams and Laura McKenna were also major contributors to the total success of the team. Several other runners showed great im- provements and ability that enabled the Right: Milligan and Willis, 7 and 8th from right at awards Ceremony in Virginia team to have outstanding depth and strength. The highlight of the women's season came in the last two weeks. On a cold, snowy, windy day at Cortland, the women ran a truly outstanding race in the NCAA Qualifier finishing second behind Cortland State. This qualified the women's team to the National Championship. The team of Willis, Milligan, Seybold, Olicker, Williams, Delmonaco, and Benzoni never feared the five inch snowfall, the cold, or the . competition. They ran with determina- tion and pride and earned the right to compete with the nation's best on November 19th in Virginia. The National Championship was a dream come true for the Binghamton team. On a flat course and 71 temperatures in Newport News, Virginia, the Colonials ran with every ounce of energy and determination they had. The end result brought personal bests for most of the runners over the five thousand meter distance. A HNEH ey eanT0s R C 906 The 1984 Women's Cross Country team did much more than simply finish 5th in the nation. They exemplified the team concept of athletics. Their devotion to their sport and to each other stands out, and will continue to, in SUNY-B sports history. The team's incredible success is a tribute to their friendship, effort, and dedication. Ken Brown 128 WRESTLING N WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS Biag gdiimmn 130 131 VOLLIEY BA LI At Last, T'he Wait IsOver As usual, Dave Archer was right on target. Before the start of the 1984 Men's Basketball season the new head coach cooly predicted that this year's team would reverse last year's record of 9-15. And that's just what they did. Finishing the season at 16-9 the Colonials won more games than any other squad in SUNY-B history. They played exciting, fast paced basketball that sent perennial critics reeling for cover. For an in-depth look at the Colonials year see The Year in Sports, page 110. But more than just win ball games, the Colonials drew crowds. People started to fill the West Gym again. And they had a good time. Before the season Coach Archer had one request for every SUNY -B student: Just give us a chance. By the end of the twenty-fifth game no one was left disappointed. And so these next few pages are a tribute to not just the team, but the fans, the coaches, the cheerleaders, and the press as well. This basketball section is dedicated to Ronny Klempner, who never seems to get any respect or thanks. Well, thanks Ronny. : : l' 'r oy, -, ' CE A . o WOMEN'S i BASKITBALL : 3 ! 3 g A S DAL g 3 M- 4 . 2 o o s X ra o fig 3 e A 2 4 - i g o - : b , y N - Ik . 5 : . . : . e 2 i N 2 . l . il p o -t 3 i - . e 1 ' ,J . g D a,kxxkk M k,xkkkk kk L AAANAAAAAA kkkkxkkkkk KA A X AAAAA A AAN K x ot XA kxdk ;hf x g, k X, aravaaratae s bff:h?

Year In Music continued from pg. 17 AZ Tech Camera, X, John Fahey all avoided the Top-40 trend. The past year also saw a number of solo projects from members of many successful bands. Pink Floyd's David Gilmore and Roger Waters each pro- duced solo albums that have been following each other up the charts, with Water's The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking receiving much air play. Steve Preiry of, Journey fame, topped the single charts with O'Sherry from his album Street Talk. Miami Steve Van Zandt, former guitarist for Bruce Springsteen back in the public eye in his own right, after the release of his critically acclaimed album, Voice of America. Speaking of Springsteen, have you heard his new album lately? The Boss, after three years in the studio produced yet another classic album, Born in the USA. With the help of Clarence and the East Street Band, Springsteen has once again upheld the rock and roll tradition he helped create. The ever changing Joe Jackson also released a superb album this year Body and Soul displays Jackson's new class act. Unlike his early classic Look Sharp, the strength of Jacksons new work is found in the rythm section. In fact, Jacksons two previous releases, Jump'n Jive and Night and Day demonstrated his movements from guitar oriented rock to a more percusive form. ATHLETICS CONTINUED FROM PG. 97 the primary source for garnering public attention. They are the emmisaries of this school, and as such, should be treated with respect and gratitude. In two days of wrestling Tom Pillari probably recruited more prospective freshmen for this school than President Clark's office did in two months. It is time for Mr. Clark to realize the potential of the sleeping giant that is athletics at this school. But you can't lay the entire blame with President Clark. He has an entire school to govern. Nell Jackson, on the other hand, has no excuse. As the Director of Athletics at SUNY- Binghamton, Dr. Jackson has proved to be more than just a disappointment; she has emerged as a genuine foe of the athletic department, no different from the SA. One would think that a woman with her backround, a former olympian and Michigan State administrator, Dr. Jackson would bring with her to SUNY a set of lofty ambitions, a burning desire to right that which 1s wrong. Not so. To date her most ambitious act has been the cowardly dismissal of basketball coach John Affleck for his failure to comply with a set of ludicrous directives. Ambi- tion should be made of sterner stuff. True, Dave Archer produced the best basketball team in Bingham history, but it was the ugly manner in which Affleck was relased that Dr. Jackson will be remembered for. More involved with her own olympic responsibilities than anything, Dr. Jackson has only served to tear the department apart. At a time when the athletic department needs strong leader- ship, Dr. Jackson has only proved to be a thorn in its side. Having incurred the wrath of a majority of students. athletes, colleagues, and members of the press, it would seem as though SUNY- Binghamton's athletic program is doomed to mediocrity until Dr. Jackson steps down. The third change in the athletic pro- gram must come from the students. And it is change which requires the stu- dent body to carefully examine its own ability to control the financial future of the athletic department. Very simply, the SA must cease to be in command of the budget of the department. Time and time again the SA has demonstrated complete ineptitude when dealing with organizational budgets. Unfortunately the athletic department falls under the title Organization. The end result is a group of devoted professionals having to beg to a bunch of pretentious young adults for their livelihoods. Assistant Athletic Director Bob Kreidler once got himself into a mess of trouble when he remarked that it was degrading to have to deal with students on budgetary matters. Well Mr. Kriedler, you have nothing to be ashamed of. As long as the clowns on the SA continue to treat the budget process as one big game your assertions will stand as truth. It is time for the SA to humble itself and recognize its own shortcomings. Until that happens the athletic department will irresponsible half-wits. Do Leaky Pipes Make You Want To Cry?
