1 = h STATE UNVERSTY OF NEW YORK AT STONY BROOK Volume 35, Number 55 Founded 1957 Monday, May 4,,1992 STU DENTS:X New _ NOF anrks ^L 10 ^1e AL L 9<^ Sknner demonstrates how to change combnaton of new dorm locks By Manny Brea Specal to Statesman wo students are challengng the effectveness of combnaton locks the unversty plans to nstall n all dorms by October, callng them "nherently nsecure" and dstrbutng nformaton about the locks' weaknesses to resdents. The Smplex combnaton locks are used n rvng and O'Nell colleges and on the sute doors of all buldngsn Kelly Quad: Te Dwvson of Campus Resdences recently fnshed nstallng Smplex locks n Kelly Quad and nstalled the locks n some rooms n Wagner College n Roosevelt Quad after 40 rooms were burglarzed over sprng break, dvson offcals sad. Scott Sknner and Ed DeFelpps, two Stony Brook resdents and former Stony Brook Press wrters who had researched the safety of the locks, held a workshop n G Quad on Aprl 21, n whch they condemned the locks as beng falsely advertsed as secure by Smplex and the Dvson of Campus Resdences. They also taught resdents how to change ther combnatons and dstrbuted a packet wth nformaton and keys that enable resdents to change ther own codes. Sknner sad the combnatons are fnte and can be determned by a burglar wthn 20 mnutes. Sknner last semester publshed the results of an nvestgaton on the locks n the magazne, Hacker Quarterly. But Dallas Bauman, assstant vce presdent for campus resdences, dened the students' allegaton. " would dsagree," sad Bauman. " thnk t's a sgnfcant mprovement over what we have." The dvson currently uses Smplex locks as the only lock source n rvng and O'Nell Colleges, accordng to Sknner, an rvng resdent. "Our plan s to mantan both the Best [keyoperated locks] and Smplex locks," Bauman sad. He added that any buldng that currently does not have Best cores wll receve them as soon as possble. However, accordng to Sknner, the Department of Defense securty manual states that"smplex lock may not be used as the only lock source except durng workng hours." Both Bauman and Scott Law, assstant vce presdent for safety and securty for the dvson, told Statesman they had no pror knowledge of the passage n the Defense Department manual. Sknner sad he was "provdng people wth the nformaton on how to change ther combnaton so that everyone could protect themselves." But Ann Mare Brunke, a resdent assstant n rvng College, sad Sknner was not offerng resdents more protecton because "by advertsng the fact that the locks mght be unsafe, he has let out nformaton that wll lead to more robberes n the halls that would not have occurred otherwse."

3 Student chased, stabbed after part By Patrca Huang stelcansuff Wst A Hand College resdent was stabbed easly Frday mornng n front of hs buldng after beng chased by gang members. The vctm was treated for wounds to the left sde of hs face and body, sad Publc Safety spokesman Doug Lttle. The student, who receved 25 sttches and was admtted to Unversty Hosptal wth a concusson, was kept overnght for observaton and released Saturday aftern, sad Suzanne Konopka, a hosptal admttng clerk. Publc Safety would not gve detals or speculate about the attackers, but several Hand College resdents sad the student was chased from an Asan Students Allance party n the Student Unon blevel and was assaulted by members of an Asan gang called the Green Dragons. The attack s the thrd on campus ths year allegedly nvolvng members of the Asan gang. All three ncdents occured after Asan Students Allance partes. The suspects fled the scene before Publc Safety offcers arrved, Lttle sad. The frstdegree assault s a felony, he added. "He was lyng on hs sde and there was a lot ofblood," sad Davd Yaseen, a Hand resdent who got word of the stabbng when students came to hs sute room lookng a resdent emergency medcal techncan who eventually asssted the student Thee was a lot of confuson," sad a Hand College resdent who wshed to reman anonymous. (Dad Joachm contrbuted to ths story.) 3 Commuter electon canceled By Jason Ddner Satcnan sscate News Edtor Lack of plannng and commuter partcpaton forced Commuter College to cancel ts electon for fall postons last week, college offcals sad. The cancellaton of the electons, whch were scheduled for last Tuesday through Thursday, was due to a shortage of poll watchers and advertsng, accordng to Clyde Cook, charman of the commuter electon board. "Mhe reason there were no electons s that we had no poll watchers; there was nobody to help me...," Cook sad. " was the electon board." Because the electons whch would have flled the postons of presdent, vce presdent, secretary, and treasurer, startng n the summer were cancelled, the councl has decded to temporarly fll the postons wth actng offcers for the summer, accordng to Commuter College Presdent Wllam Bouler. "We fgured so far t would be best to appont some people untl the very begnnng of next semester when we can have a proper electon," he sad. But Cook told Statesman he had recommended that Commuter College hold an electon n ths Wednesday's commuter legslature meetng, rather than temporarly appont offcers. "Mey wanted to do appontments and thought t would be unfar to people who went through [campagnng] to hold postons," he sad. " would actually take offense to them not abdng by my recommendaton." Bouler sad he wll present fve appontees at an emergency legslature meetng today. The councl has apponted former Polty presdental canddate Rchard Cole, also currently assstant vce presdent of Commuter College, for the actng presdental poston, accordng to Cook. The councl's choce for vce presdent, Cook sad, s Commuter Senator Eugene Goon. But none of the councl's choces match the canddates on the ballots for those postons. Canddates are runnng unopposed for three out of the four postons, ncludng presdent, on the ballot The only offce n whch there s competton s vce presdent, for whch Vnny Bruzzese and Steven Alama were runnng. "The appontment] was unfar to Steve, mran [Syed, presdental canddate], and Vnny, who had put n the pettons....o"sad Cook.!They wentthrough the process," Bouler sad he chose a mx of nonaddates and canddates to mprove the farness of an electon n the fall. "What we're concerned about s that we wll have an electon ths fall, a real complete electon," he sad "We chose someone that had no ntentons of runnng to head t [the temporary councl]. We chose three people that had no ntenton of runnng and two people that dd." But Cook blasted the councl for ts decson. "They just don't want mran and Vnny n charge of Commuter College," he sad. " guess you can see the thng wth Vnny, whch knd of put a bad blemsh on Commuter College, but mran never dd anythng down there." The Polty Senate voted to mpeach Senator Bruzzese last month after he was charged wth msuse of Polty funds as charman of the Programs and Servces Councl. He stll votes n the senate, but ajudcal board hearng ths week wll determne hs future n Polty, accordng to nancy Belson, charwoman of the judcal board. Cole blamed Cook for the electon's cancellaton. "t was all Clyde's fault," he sad. "He ddn't do Jack squat." "When you pont your fnger at somebody, there's three more pontng back at you," Cook sad. "Rch s more to blame than am, because Commuter [College] should have offered n the LEG meetng that, 'We'll gve you X amount of dollars to watch the polls on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.'... t was Commuter College's fault that we ddn't have an electon. They promsed they'd help." Bruzzesesad thatheandsyedcomplanedtostressor Altems, Polty's executve drector, about the appontments. He blamed the cancelled electon on the councl. "Cook... smply dd not have any help," Bruzzese sad. He accused Bouler of sayng, " really don't care what happens or what Clyde does. 'm graduatng anyway." The fundng was avalable to hre poll watchers, Bouler sad, but nobody motoned n legslature to allocate the fundng. But Cook sad, "twas my understandng that there was no fundng." " requested poll watchers," Cook sad. "And t came up that there was no fundng avalable. "One of them at least should have come to me and sad, 'f you need t, 'll be a pollwatcher,'" Cook sad. " would have watched the poll for one day." Bouler sad the electon was nadequately prepared because the reformed Commuter electon bylaws stpulated by Polty's executve councl after t nullfed an electon for commuter senators n February restrcted executve oversght on the electon process.

4 4 Project has resdents cleanng the campu ls By Adrane Moser n Copy Eo Neary 200 rsent nsvoluned to clean up the area around ther dons last Frday at the Quad Cleanup Day. Ths organzed pckup of garbage has taken place for several years, but ths year t became the responsblty of the newlyformed Earth Acton Board of the Resdence Hall Assocaton, a student group. As opposed to the admnstratonrun Prde Patrol n whch staff members partcpated n beautfcaton projects around the academc buldngs, the Quad Cleanup Day s "purely for the quads," sad Steven Spegel, charman of the EAB. Orgnally, the EAB wanted to work wth the Prde Patrol, sad Spegel, but Ann Forkn of Specal Programs, who organzes the Prde Patrol, sad the event was meant for staff, not students. She sad she was not wllng to nvolve them, Spegel told Statesman. Partcpatng n the EAB cleanup, Andy Lesng, an EAB member, flled garbage bags wth cgarette butts he pcked up around the Roth Quad pond. He hoped the cleanup would have a postve effect on the campus communty. "f people see us out here cleanng, they mght thnk dfferently about throwng ther ng cgarette butts on the ground." Roth Quad resdent Greg Doyle sad he felt a change n atttude towards the envronment s necessary, not just a onetme cleanup. "Collectng s just gong to make room for more garbage to collect," he sad. The EAB orgnally planned to have a smlar cleanup day every semester, but decded on an annual event that would receve more publcty. nstead of spendng large amounts of money on ncentves for a good cause, they ntend to put more towards projects that affect the envronmentmore drectly, lke educatonal events, recyclng bns, and lghtswtch stckers, Spegel sad. Tabler Quad Resdents Barbara Delbrune and Jl Schuchardt swept aash away outsde Hand College. Delbrune sad students' cleanng up s a postve acton towards a clean campus. "We're dong t for free, so the school doesn't have to complan about dshng out money for ths," she sad. "'m tred of people crtczng how drty ths campus s and they're not dong anythng about t." Rachel Moore, RHD of Mount Colege and staff advsor for EAB, sad snce students caused the trash to accumulate n the frstplace, they should be nvolved nclearng t away. Fundng for ths event came from FSA, from therresdencehall programmngfund generated by the laundry machnes n resdence halls. Expenses for ths event were lmted to cleanng equpment and tshrts. RHA pad forthe mnmal advertsng costs. The event was publczed through varous campus meda sources. Spegel sad, campus phonemal message dstrbuted to student leaders and others randomly was such a success that some were forwarded ther lmt of sx tmes. A recepton n the evenng was attended by more that 70 students who had cleaned up earler n the day. They feasted on 20 pzzas and sda donated by Domno's. Jeff Smth of Gray College ad G Quad cleanup crew pcks up over 70 bags of trash last Frday mtted that the promse of free pzza was what really got hm to work, but once he became nvolved rakng leaves and saw what a mess the area was, he really got nto t. "f you have them more often, t would stay a lot cleaner," he sad. Ths event was also ntended to promote Stony Brook prde. "We're not only lookng to clean the envronment, but we're also lookng to brng the campus communty together by partcpatng n a common cause," sad Spegel. Moore called the Cleanup Day an effort to get students nvolved, to "take ownershp n the pace where they lve." At the recepton, Felca Malkel of Ammann College reflected on her day. "t was really great to be wth other people who are really enthusastc about the place they lve n. t wll get drty really fast, 'm sure, because people don't care." "You put some n, but we should get a lot more out wth the campus cleaned up," Spegel sad, "... My hope s that f t gets clean, people wll take prde n t... When they see a clean campus, they wll be less lkely to ltter." The Ronkn Educatonal Group Has Fled For Bankruptcy. The SEC has charged them wth fraud, and halted tradng of ther stock.

5 Students LOCKS from page 1 Law sad Sknner had the rght to gve hs semnar, but he sad he ddn't see the purpose t served. "He [Sknner] was wastng hs tme," sad Danel Hayes, resdence hall drector of O'Nell College. "He could have done more constructve thngs wth hs energy." Sknner provded the audence wth an Allen wrench as pan of a packet that also ncluded an artcle he wrote "SmplexLocks and lluson of Securty" for the Hacker Quarterly magazne last fall. The artcle showed how to change a combnaton, and a lesson on a mnature door model that was locked by a Smplex wrench. The packet provded more than just nformaton on changng combnatons. t showed that 1,081 possble combnatons exsted, all of whch could be tred wthn about 20 mnutes to open the door, Sknner sad. Sknner sad he expects the Student Polty Assocaton to pck up the tab for the $50 he spent on nformaton packets and Allen wrenches But Polty Presdent Dan Slepan sad the student government has not funded Sknner's project, although the executve councl ofpolty has'dscussed fundng. "My understandng s that wll get the money back," Sknner sad. A secton of Sknner's artcle on "hackng locks" showed technques used for narrowng down the possbltes n crackng someone else's code. One technque used a voceactvated personal tape recorder that could be placed at someone's door and would record the clck made when someone was enterng ther room. t could later be used to decpher the code, Sknner sad. 3last locks lqg 7 Another technque for fndng out the range of numbers s to take "a pencl eraser and carefully rub off a tny bt of rubber on each of the pushbuttons," Sknner sad. "When someone comes to enter the combnaton, they wll rub off the rubber on all of the pushbuttons that they use, whle leavng telltale traces of rubber on the pushbuttons that they do not use. reducng the number of possble combnatons." A student complaned that knowledge should not be spread on how to break nto rooms, but Emmanuel Goldsten, edtor of the Hacker Quarterly, sad, "fafewsheets of paper s all t takes to get nto a Smplex lock, then that's somethng people should be aware of." Tamperng wth the lock to the pont of breakage can lead to a "cost of $150 to $200," Hayes sad. Falure to nform the quad of fce or the resdence hall drector24 hours before wll result n a "letter of warnng." Hayes emphaszed the need for the publc to know that ths [workshop] was "not funded by [Campus Resdences] nor was [Campus Resdences] n support of L'" Poston Avalable The GSO s lookng for an edtor for ts two major publcatons, the GSO Survwal Gude and the GSO News and Blues.

7 Hotlne offers advce, support to cancer vctrns By Gabrelle Horwtz Sawtenn Suff Wrte he Unversty Hosptal at Stony Brook recently opened a cancer hotlne at the hosptal's cancer center, unversty offcals announced. The hotlne enables cancer experts to gve advce to people who have questons about the causes and treatments of cancer, hotlne offcals sad. The lne also helps callers patents and ther famly members deal wth the psychologcal effects of cancer, accordng to secretary Gal Urban of the hosptal's nursng admnstraton, an operator for the hotlne. MThe hotlne was set up as a mechansm to gve nformaton to people and refer general nformaton about cancer," sad Dr. Mchael Vola, a cancer specalst who heads the servce. Callers range from cancer patents to famly members and people just curous about the symptoms of cancer, he sad. Because many forms of cancer exst, a hotlne was needed to gve people "a coordnated approach to recevng questons land answerng them]," he sad. "People who are dagnosed don't know what to do and a decson s based on what s easest for the patent," Vola sad. The phone calls go through several steps when they are receved by the hotlne. Dependng on the nature of the questons, they are ether felded by a Stony Brook cancer expert, who s not a doctor, or referred elsewhere. f the expert cannot answer the questons, the callers are referred to a doctor. The doctor wll return the phone call as soon as possble, the next day at the latest, sad hosptal spokeswoman Wendy Alpne. f a doctor's help s not avalable, then the caller s referred to the Amercan Cancer Socety, Vola sad. "We want to get the patents to the rght people and take them out of the hands of quacks," sad Vola. "We gve them a reasonable judgement on what they want" Havng a cancer hotlne has made people aware that a cancer center exsts at the hosptal, sad Vola. He sad most of the people who call are from Long sland. "The hotlne s nundated wth phone calls," accord Student Leader News Srevce NEW PALTZ Arson or a possble fre bombng s beng blamed for a fre that serously damaged the college presdents' guest house on the SUNY New Paltz campus early Frday mornng. There were also unoffcal reports of as many as 12 garbage can fres on campus wthn mnutes of the guest house blaze ncludng a fre n the dumpster outsde DuBos Resdence Hall. The guest house was normally used as a resdence for guests of the college and as a publc meetfg place. But after cancercausng PCBs were dscovered n the Coykendall ScencesBuldng lt Decemberthe chemstry and bology departments were relocated to the guest house. The guest house fre was frst reported to campus polce by an anonymous male at 4:42 am, accordng to college spokeswoman Karen Summerln. Campus offcers, who are the frst responders to all oncampus fres, confrmed a fre n the structure, and the frst fre alarm was sounded by the New Paltz dspatcher at 4:45 am, Summerln sad. Frefghters arrved wthn fve mnutes and the blaze was reported under control at 5:06 am. A total of three ng to Vola. He sad many of these people call askng what they should do f they have cancer. Frequently, people want to know f support groups are avalable to help them deal wth the mental effects of cancer, he sad. Nnety percentof the questons deal wth formsof therapy that are avalable, he sad. A frequent problem the hotlne encounters s ndvduals callng about alternatve forms of therapy. Vola sad none of the alternatve forms of therapy avalable are effectve. He cted the sale of vtamns as one such form of alternatve therapy. Other alternatve cancer therapes, accordng to some experts, nvolve holstc, or sprtual treatment "All forms of alternatve therapy are worthless," Vola sad. "Many forms of alternatve therapy are not scentfc... Nne out of ten refuse to have [ther therapy] tested." The hotlne asks people what they have read about new forms of therapy and they respond to ther nqury realstcally, sad Vola. He sad callers often ask the center "to clarfy what they have read." "We drect them to The Amercan Cancer Socety whch deals wth the specfcs of alternatve forms of therapy," Vola sad. The hotlne s staffed from 8:30 am to 5 pm weekdays, accordng to Alpne. After 5 pm, callers may leave a message on a recordng. The number s (516) Arson cted n New Paltz blaze alarms were sounded. One fre fghter sad flames travelled to the second floor through the outsde of the buldng, escapng from the burnng structure through a frst floor wndow. The extent of the damage has not yet been estmated by the college, though extensve damage was reportedly done to records and fles of both the chemstry and bology departments. n addton to fre damage, there s also smoke and water damage throughout the twostory, allwood structure, accordng to fre department sources. "The cause of the fre has been determned to be ncendary n nature by the nvestgators," fre chef Ronald Fngan sad. Accordng to Fngan, a dog wth the ablty to snff out flammable chemcals was used to fnd the cause of the fre by the Ulster County Arson Unt A campus polce offcer told a student reporter Frday afternoon that the buldng had been fre bombed. Despte wdespread speculaton by students and resdents that the fres were related to the racerelated volence n Los Angeles and elsewhere, nether college nor fre department offcals would connect the ncdents to outrage over the Rodney Kng polce brutalty verdct.

8 8 Edtoral Campus Should Protest Kng Verdct Stony Brook student organzatons have faled to respond to the terrble njustce done to Rodney Kng n Los Angeles. Whle we are fortunate that the unversty and the metropoltan area dd not fare up n the knd of volence that engulfed Los Angeles. Rochester and New Rochelle, t s frghtenng that students of Stony Brook have taken no steps to condemn a case of polce brutalty that seems to have slpped through the hands of the justce system. Ths s a unversty, a place where people should feel free to vent ther concerns, ther grpes, or whatever s on ther mnds. Th.e StonyBrookconunty has spoken out n the past on a great many ssues: the Persan GulfWar. anmal rghts, abortonrghts, and has most recently debated sometmes heatedly the speech of Khalld Muhammad and the fundng of Poltysponsored groups. Televson news ntervews have shown that members of varous socoethnc backgrounds express shock and outrage at the travesty of justce that has led to so much volence. Students need to talk about ths past week's events, even f they all agree. The more students rallyfor a common cause, the louder and more credble ther cres wll be. But f students dsagree, let them do so. but n peace. Agan, ths s a unversty. Students should be able to debate ntellgently, and wthout volence, over the thngs that concern them. Ths ssue, although t s based on events that have happened 3,000 mles away. should concern students here. f a gang of polce offcers can unmercfully beat a young man on camera based on hs appearance and then g. away wth t, why can't the same thng happen to somebody who s readng ths edtoral?

The New England AntVvsecton Socety, or NEAVS, was also present Wednesday wth vdeos, samples, and nformaton about companes that do not use anmals to test ther products. NEAVS member James Coffgan, who spoke at the event, sad, "The mnute you st back, they wn."

A _^^ Although a presdent, a wrter and a U scentst may not appear to have much n g common, ther membershp n one orga _ L nzaton lnks them. They are three of more than 426,000 lvng members of Ph Beta Kappa, Amerca's oldest honorary socety. Last week,l 34 junors and senors at the State Unversty at Stony Brook elected to the socety became members n a formal ntaton held at the Staller Center for the Arts. " was really excted," sad senor Allyson Brodsky, upon learnng that she had been elected to the Stony Brook chapter of Ph Beta Kappa. " felt got a lttle recognton for all the hard work that 've put n." And, she sad, "t looks good on a resume." Ph Beta Kappans run n the Brodsky famly. Her brother Doug, a 1990 Stony Brook graduate, s also a member. "The Stony Brook chapter was founded n 1974," sad Charles E. Staley, assocate professor of Economcs, who serves as the chapter's secretary. Of the 134 students elected, sad Staley, 20 are junors and 114 are senors. Grade pont averages of 3.8 and 3.6 are requred for junors and senors, respectvely. To be consdered for membershp, a student must have earned 60 credts at Stony Brook. But scholastc achevement s not the only crtera for membershp. "For over 200 years," accordng to the socety's Handbook for New Members, "electon to Ph Beta Kappa has been a recognton of ntellectual capactes.well. employed, especally n the acqurng of an educaton n the lberal arts and scences. The objectves of humane leang encouraged by Ph Beta Kappa nclude ntellectual honesty and tolerance, range of ntellectual nterests, and understandng not merely knowledge." At Stony Brook, sad Staley, the core currculum ensures that students are educated n a broad feld of subjects. Founded on December 5, 1776, at the College of Wllam and Mary n Wllamsburg, Vrgna, Ph Beta Kappa was the frst socety to have a Greek letter name. ts name was derved from the frst letters of the phrase "phlosopha bour kybernetes" or "Phlosophy s the Gude of Lfe." The organzaton orgnally had an oath See ANMALS on page 12 of secrecy, a badge, a code of laws, an elaborate form of ntaton, a seal, and even a specal handclasp. Wthn 54 years, chapters or "alphas" were founded at other unverstes. Today, 240 chapters exst n nsttutons of hgher learnng throughout the Unted States. Orgnally founded as adebatng or lterary club, Ph Beta Kappa gradually evolved nto an honor socety. The admsson of women was another development that marked the progress of the socety. n 1875, two women who had met the scholastc requrement were admtted to the alpha at the Unversty of Vern ont' "A few years later, when a general consttuton and bylaws were adopted, the rght of women to membershp was accepted wthout queston." reads the Handbook. The late Jane Addams, Pearl Buck and Helen Keller are just a few of the socety's promnent women members. Eventually, Ph Beta Kappa began to recognze three classes of members: members n course, alumn members and honorary members. About 99 percent of all members elected each year are members n course, canddates for degrees n lberal See PH BETA on page 12 lbw ALMn?

But do they know that nsde these buldngs, anmal experments are takng place every day? "t's happenng rght here on our campus," sad student Laure DeLaGrange."Moststudentsdon'teven know or care." The Student Acton Coalton For Anmals (SACA), ntended to nform students wth Wednesday's Lab Anmal Lberaton Day demonstraton of more than 200 or more spectators. Members feel that t s not anmal research, but really, unnecessary anmal torture. Many Unversty offcals dsagree. On banners that draped the Fne Protestors a< Arts Plaza, SACA members panted "Stop the Pan" and cted contemporary poet Alce Walker's quote, "Anmals weren't made for people any more than blacks were made for whtes or wmyn for men." SACA's objectve on Wednesday was to, "educate the publc to the fallacy of anmal research," sad member Bradford Jones. Accordng to Jones, much of the research done at Stony Brook and other research facltes s repettve. "MThe same people who are dong the research," Jones sad, "are n bed wth the multmllon dollar companes who are supplyng the anmals." SACA offered lterature whch descrbed alternaor DLAR, groups such as People for the Ethcal Treatment of Anmals, or PETA, and SACA equate anmal lfe to human lfe. Mddleton says ths s "alen" to hs way of thnkng. He also says that f these organzatons had ther way, all research would cease. Accordng to Mddleton, most people are oblvous to the fact that they are probably alve today because of research. He also stated that everythng man has nvented s a product of research and that "everyone needs an educaton to the vtal role that scence plays n our socety." Mddleton feels that people n opposton to research are hypocrtes f they accept medcal reatment. "Anyone who thnks scence s an evl should go to a thrd world country and set up resdence n the bush," he sad. Mddleton s angered by people wthout a scentfc background, he sad, who are tellng scentsts what they should or should not be dong. Ths s not accepted n any other segment of our socety, he sad.

MacDowell, who s currently employed at the Unversty's Computng Center, was suspended from DLAR for one year after she reported ther llegal method of breedng cats rather than havng to buy them, and then gassng the excess cats they had bred. "t s a hdeous busness," she sad. Applcatons for approval of research nvolvng anmal subjects are currently beng wthheld by the Unversty. Ths, accordng to Rosemare Wllams Nolan, Unversty admnstrator for Records, s due to two pendng lawsuts fled aganst Stony Brook by the BdeAWee Home Assocaton and the Amercan Socety for the Preventon of Cruelty to Anmals (ASPCA). The lawsuts are bddng for the release of the applcatons under the Ph Beta Kappa handbook Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who wrote under the pseudonym Mark Twan. Whle many Ph Beta Kappans who earn golden keys may never earn fame or monetary success, the honor s meanngful for each member. Senor Erka Spewak says she cred for joy when she learned of her honor. "At frst, t was a bttersweet experence because t wasn't somethng could share wth my parents," sad the Englsh major. Her father s deceased, and her mother, who lves n a Florda nursng home, suffers from Parknson's dsease. But then, sad Spewak, " < explaned to her what Ph Beta Kappa was. thnk she understood because she sad she was very proud of me." Students rally for anmals New York State Freedom of nformaton Law. "Securty s a real concern," sad Dan Forbush, Unversty Publc Relatons Drector. "These applcatons contan a wealth of nformaton that extremst organzatons would fnd useful n plannng breakns or campagns of harassment." Accordng to Forbush, Unversty Presdent John Marburger has noted that there s an urgent need to amend New York State's Freedom of nformaton Law "before medcal research n the state s adversely affected." Overall, Lab Anmal Lberaton Day was a peaceful demonstraton. There appeared to be only one counterdemonstrator. A woman, who chose not to be dentfed, yelled at anmal research protestors, "Get your hearts n the rght place!" The woman, whose daughter has been sufferng wth multple scleross for three years, fnds t upsettng that anmal lfe s beng equated to that of humans.

The Unted States Cvl Rghts Commsson ssued a report n February descrbng a rse n "Japan bashng" and hate crmes aganst Asans. What many fal to see s the great detrment that ths bashng s causng. All Asan Amercans are subject to these attacks. Not only s there a rse n antjapanese sentment but, accordng to a survey by the Tmes Mrror publshng company, the marked ncrease n antjapanese sentment s contrasted by a dramatc mprovement n Russa's standng wth Amercans İle ease wth whch the U.S. seemed to have defeated raq has shfted Amerca's focus away from mltary threats and onto economc threats and n the wake of the our naton's economc crss, attacks on Japan have become a pathetc excuse for Amerca's shortcomngs. The fact that U.S. busnessmen and poltcans have relentlessly bashed the Japanese and gnored the larger holdngs of the Europeans and Canadans s a clear dsplay of the emergng racsm that has taken on a shrll and volent tone. When the late Robert Maxwell, a Brtsh tycoon, took over the Daly News he was applauded by many. No such herosm would have been awarded had a Japanese bought the publcaton.

Due to the senate's falure to stck by ther orgnal convcton approvng electon reform, (the orgnal vote was 22 to4) mghtas well stback and get ready to enjoy the crcus all over agan. Last month made a moton proposng the creaton of a commttee charged wth reformng the horrendous electon system exstng today n our beloved Polty.Overwhelmngly, the moton was approved, and soon the commttee was n full swng, surpassng even my expectatons for ts success. Headed by Ron Nehrng, and consstng of Davd Greene, Tom Varghese, Davd Ecker, Jerry Canada, and Eugene Goon, they soon came up wth.a proposal for reform that was effectve and embraced by the senate n the almost unanmous proportons n the meetng on Aprl 8. For once, many senators went home wth the knowledge that they dd ndeed create change for the better. t was also one of the few concrete thngs that the senate had managed to accomplsh all year. Now there would be one pollng staton, n a centrally located area, open for two days, ncreasng access for the students by extendng the prevously accepted one day. But most mportantly, t would vrtually elmnate the possblty of "votng early and often" for your favorte canddate, as well as the elmnaton of aggravaton due to the allegatons of cheatng y suspcous students. The senate realzed the mportance of ths reform for the whole student body, and was proud that they could rest easy n the knowledge that ths year the electon was gong to be far. Unfortunately, ths confdence proved to be shortlved. A couple of days after ts approval, the councl, domnated by Dan Slepan, vetoed the vast majorty of the senate, and overturned electon reform. Dan's reasonng for ths was "to stmulate debate." Come off t Dan, you were aganst the reform all along. t s also nterestng to note that both Nada Chanza, and Davd Greene, an orgnal author of the reform, voted to veto the reform. Does ths have anythng to do wth the fact that they ran for offce? You don't have to be a genus to fgure t out. How very sad that the senate crumbled under the Sherryann Schomber s a Polty senator who repret8e sa ^Mw S.A&A ;^^ t8.> Klux Klan leader, Governor Davd Duke. n response to the crtcsm of a member of the Japanese lower house on Amerca's work ethc, Senator Ernest Hollngs of South Carolna sad " You should draw a mushroom cloud and put underneath t, 'Made n Amerca by lazy and llterate Amercans and tested n Japan."' Hollngs refused to retrat hs statement A Pontac commercal whch fwst ared two months ago ncluded the same crtcsms by members of the Japanese parlament. The commercal used the sun of the Japanese flag as background but substtuted the whte part of the flag wth black conveyng a sublmnal message of evl and menace. Congressman John Dngell of Mchgan was quoted as sayng that the cause of the U.S. economc woes s because of those "lttle yellow men." The bestsellng book, The Second Pearl Harbor by T. Boone Pckens warns of the "Japanese nvason" and tres to nstll wartme fears to ncte hostlty and a warped "patrotsm." f Mr. Pckens s suggestng a second Pearl Harbor, then s he also suggestng a second Enola Gay? Recent polls n Calforna show that 60% of Calfornans beleve t was rght of the U.S. to drop the atomc bomb on Japan and one out of three Calfornans say the U.S. was rght to have put Japanese Amercans n ntemment camps. All Asan Amercans bear the brunt of the hostlty created by Japan bashng. Our leaders and Japanbashers are hurtng ths naton, not only by choosng to blame others rather than face our own defcences, but by perpetuatng racsm and volence amongst Amercans. Polty Senate s a Joke councl, s pressure. How sad that t has become just another of the many puppets present n Polty. Some senators have even ventured to say to me that "Well, my consttuents ddn't want to walk to the pollng staton." Who could blame them? Maybe students would be more enthusastc about votng f they beleved that ther vote counted, lke t mght actually elect someone. Gee, how slly they are to beleve that electons mght just be honest know 'd rather walk to the Unon and cast a vote that actually meant somethng, than to roll out of bed and drop n a vote that truly beleve does not matter anyway. n concluson, am a senator who has dealt wth the nfghtng, the domnaton, the gameplayng and the votebuyng for two semesters now. have had enough. can no longer be a part of a body that am ashamed of. Therefore, must regretfully resgn my poston as Commuter College senator. Ths s unfortunate, snce n the last eght months have ganed a lot of respect and even a lkng for many of the councl members. There s defntely some honesty and sncerty n the current councl, and a lot of really decent people who have earned my trust and respect. t s a shame that none of these councl members have chosen to run agan, because they are certanly an asset to the students. t s people lke ths that place m future hope n, that one day they wll be able to reform a very handcapped system.

Asde from her ndvdual vctores, Stewart was also the second leg of the 4x400 meter relay team that fnshed second at the nvtatonal. t was a successful day for Stewart consderng t dd not start out lke one usually does. "Dara was feelng a lttle under the weather on Sunday," sad Steve Borbet, head coach. ""Yet she stll managed to come wthn onetenth of a second of her season's best n the 200 meters." Along wth her success at the Stony Brook nvtatonal, Stewant was also pan of the 4x400 relay team that fnshed fourth at the Penn Relays n a te of 4:12.77 on Frday. "! was really nervous before the race," sad Stewart. "Mhe best competton of the year was all there at the same tme." Stewart beleves that the, combnaton of wnnng the Stony Brook nvtatonal and a strong showng at the Penn Relays gves the team a good feelng headng nto the ECAC Champonshps the weekend of May 9th. "Ths past week has been a great confdence bulder," she sad, "because of t we should do better than we dd at the ECAC Umpre~~ 's ndoor Champonshps." "Dara has come a long way snce her freshman year at the unversty, " sad Borbet. "She s fnally gettng nto shape. She was able to run the 55meter dash really well, but that was t. As a freshman she was unable to fnsh a onemle run." Stewart's endurance was a problem n the past but now that she s a part of the 4x400 relay team, her tranng methods have helped her mprove. " would lke to see her work towards runnng the 400 meters as an ndvdual," Borbet sad. "t could be her best event because she s more than capable of runnng a sub 60 seconds."' Stewart beleves that ths transton wll not be that dffcult because she knows Borbet wll be there every step of the way. "'Coach s a great motvator," Stewart sad. "He always pushed me, especally durng dffcult workouts." Stewart s a socology major and ntends to work towards a Masters degree n the same feld upon graduatng next year. S he also has a mnor n journalsm whch she puts to use as an ntern coverng Long sland news for Newsday. Stewart ntends to work out durng the summer n order to stay n shape and prepare for the 400meter run. "Ths wll be the frst tme that wll work over the summer to mprove my endurance," she sad. " just want to calls~~~~ cotuet go %,uara bewan mprove my tmes and contnue to have fun runnng." Wth her new approach to tranng, Stewart could prove to be even more of a force to her opponents.

"Bll brought all these tems to get George Foster to sgn. fgure snce he came all that way, thought whle he was here 'd work hm." Foster laughs as he remembers Wlk's anxety. "ntally he was a lttle nervous because he wanted to mpress me and do everythng correctly. But later he started to feel a lttle confdent." The confdence Wlk gradually developed durng that sesson wth Foster stuck, as dd hs mpressons of hs hero. n takng some of Foster's advce to heart, Wlk was selected AllSkylne ptcher n hs Patrots debut last year and pcked to play sem pro ball for a em n the Bronx ths summer, despte not havng played for the Patrots all season. "He used to call me after each game and gve me a rundown of how he dd," Foster says. Foster enjoys knowng he s helpng someone who aspres to a career n the majors, after all, he knows how demandng the sports star role can be. As a former player, Foster had to contend wth some of the dffcultes wdely exstng n professonal athletcs.

Pats close season one goal short By YelLnk ao Women's Track at ECACs: Saturday, May 9, 11 am. C4,or A:P 2 By Jason Yelln Statesman Staff Wnter "t was the eptome of our season," goalkeeper Rob Serratore sad about the Patrots' seasonendng 109 defeat to Oho State Saturday. The game was very close throughout but a few calls by the referees and breakdowns by Stony Brook on ther manup stu Ohlo St.: 10 atons led to ther Patots: 9 downfall. "The P a t r o t s 9 extraman stua tons really hurt us," John Espey, Patrots head coach, sad. "We ddn't react well. The two threemnute penaltes [to Tony Cabrera and Joel nsnga for fghtng] took a chunk out of us, takng away two starters." Ths season marks the frst tme that Espey's Patrots dd not fnsh wth a wnnng record n hs fveyear tenure. The Patrots close wth a 77 record. Oho State was called for 17 penaltes and Stony Brook converted only twce n the manup stuatons. n the thrd quarter, junor James Sommese brought the Pats wthn one at 87, on a beautful manup goal at 3:58. He also scored the other manup tally late n the game to make the game cut the Oho State lead to two. The two threemnute nonreleasable penaltes on Stony Brook occurred after Sommese's frst goal at 5:32 of the thrd quarter, Cabrera pushed Buckeye Mke Sullvan and the two began to fght. Both were gven majorpenaltes, but Stony Brook lost yet another man as nsnga was also assessed a threemnute penalty for fghtng, though Espey sad he dd not agree wth ths call. The frst quarter opened up wth a lot of httng and no scorng untl the last mnute of the stanza. Junor Tm Kolm bounced the ball through Oho State goale Russ Salk's legs for the frst goal. Buckeye Dan Zecchn quckly answered seven seconds later to te the score at one. Wth nne seconds left n the quarter junor Mke Fensten took an nsnga pass and put the ball past Salk for a 21 lead. Oho State took ts frst lead of the game n the second quarter. Secondleadng scorer Jerry Ngro talled twce for the Buckeyes. Cabrera, playng hs fnal game at Stony Brook. then scored the frst of hs two goals on the day to te the score at three. "Cabrera worked hard at httng and dd all that he could," Espey sad. Buckeyes topscorer Davd Blue scored at 9:48 and 13:16 to buld a 53 lead gong to halftme. Stony Brook worked ther best transton of the game early n the thrd quarter to make the score 54. Serratore outletted to Kevn Dalland who passed to junor Lou Ventura who netted the goal at 1:55.
