Xerox Prints, Durer Reproductions
Among New Art Gallery Exhibits
“Xerox Prints”, the work of Cali-
fornia artist Tyler James Hoare, and
“Durer and His Time”, consisting of re-
productions of Durer’s work and of docu-
ments from his life and time, are two of
the four new exhibits which opened_yes-
terday at the Art Gallery. The other ex-
hibits are “Eight Women Potters” and
paintings, prints, and drawings by Ellen
Howe.
Mr. Hoare began making Xerox and
Thermofax prints in 1969. He started by
running an image through the machine as
a positive and then as a negative, later
varying the process by making collages
2 Options Open
For Book Rush
Two options for obtaining required
textbooks from the University Bookstore
are available to students this semester.
Under the first option, strongly recom-
mended by the Bookstore, students will
submit a book order list one day and pick
up their books the next day. Under the
second option, students may submit a
book order and wait for it to be filled.
Over 40 people will be employed on
Option I to insure that book orders are
available when promised. Long delays
may be experienced by students using
Option II, the Bookstore warns.
Regardless of the option taken, book
order forms must be filled out com-
pletely, with special attention given to
the Code Number and Location Number
of books requested. Books cannot be lo-
cated without those numbers.
Book order forms for both options
will be available in the tunnel behind the
bowling alley. Two book lists will be
posted in the area. Students using Option
I will turn in their orders at the same
table where they obtained the forms and
will pick up their books the next day in
the tunnel area behind the Physics
Building. Students using Option II will
turn in their orders at the window in the
rear of the Bookstore and will wait there
for their books.
from the original prints and running them
through the process again. Certain varia-
tions in color were achieved by using
different types of paper.
The Durer exhibition is being circu-
Jated by the German government and-the
Institute of Foreign Relations in con-
junction with the world-wide celebration
of the 500th anniversary of Durer’s birth.
Special attention is given to his drawings
of the human form.
Four East Coast potters and four
West Coast potters are participating in the
exhibition organized by Frances Simches,
assistant professor of art here. She will
show new sculptural pieces of her own.
Nancy Selvin, who also teaches here, will
be among the West Coast potters.
Also included in the “Eight Women
Potters” exhibit will be Patti Bauer, Paula
Bartron, Karen Karnes, Marilyn Levine,
Kit Snyder, and Toshiko Takaezu,
Miss Howe, a resident of Williams-
town, Mass., is a candidate for the mas-
ter’s degree in studio art at SUNYA.
The four exhibitions will continue
through Feb. 6. Gallery hours are 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. daily and 1 - 5 p.m. on week-
ends.
Carnegie Grant To Support
Experimental
A $100,000 grant from the Carnegie
Corporation will enable the university to
begin a novel, time-shortened baccalau-
reate degree program with the admittance
next fall of 50 selected high school stu-
dents who have finished eleventh grade.
The money is part of $343,760 made
available by Carnegie Corporation to help
develop similar programs at SUNY cam-
puses at Geneseo and Brockport, and at
the new Upper Division College in Utica-
Herkimer-Rome.
The programs are built either on the
premise that the traditional four-year col-
lege baccalaureate program can be con-
densed to three years without loss of
quality or content or that the secondary
school-college experience can be com-
pressed successfully from eight years to
seven, Albany will work under the latter
premise, according to a program de-
veloped over the past year by a 16-mem-
ber committee chaired by Seth W. Spell-
man, assistant to the president, and ap-
proved last month by the University Sen-
ate. Registration is being requested of the
State Education Department.
The program will be concentrated in
an entirely new college and will not dupli-
cate existing university programs. Fa-
cilities at Draper Hall and Alumni Quad
will be utilized. With the Milne School as
part of its ongoing operation, SUNYA is
viewed as being “ideally suited to explore
closer relationships of the high school and
college learning process.”
Admitted students will complete re-
quirements for high school graduation
during their first year in the program. An
additional 150 students will be admitted
in 1973 and the enrollment will level off
in 1976 with a maximum of 1,600 stu-
dents. It is hoped the relatively low en-
rollment will combine the advantage of
an intimate learning experience with the
benefits of a major university,
Strong emphasis will be placed on
the interrelationship of fields of knowl-

edge, rather than on separate disciplines.
Students will not major in any specific
discipline. They will concentrate on inte-
grated, interdisciplinary study to prepare
them for a wide range of governmental,
business, education, and public service
careers, or for further study at the gradu-
ate level.
During the first year, humanities, sci-
ence, and mathematics will provide
vehicles for expression and tools for the
mastery of other areas of knowledge. In
the second year, communications, empiri-
cal methodology, social and behavioral
sciences, and human development will
provide the catalysts for the study of the
major problems of man. In the third and
fourth years, the family as a social insti-
tution, formal education, economics, re-
ligion and morality, and government will
provide the context to study the interre-
lated nature of each as they pertain to
man’s individual and social development.
Students completing the program re-
quirements will receive a Bachelor of Arts
degree in Man and His Institutions. For
the first year, recruitment will be limited
to students from the Capital District area.
New Proposals
For Governance
Proposals by the Governance Com-
mission for new by-laws for all-university
governance will be discussed by the Sen-
ate at a special meeting Monday, Jan. 24,
at 3 p.m. in the CC Assembly Hall. The
meeting will be open to all members of
the university community,
The commission’s report has been
distributed to members of the Senate. If
the Senate finds the new by-laws worthy
of recommendation to the university,
copies will be distributed generally with
opportunities for further discussion,
In its report, the commission de-
clared that it had proceeded on the prin-
ciple that “all members of the university
have a direct interest in how it is gov-
emed and that therefore all should have
representation in the university’s major
governing agency, the Senate.” The re-
port continues, “The commission believes
that the harmonious and efficient gov-
ernance of the university would be en-
couraged by an all-inclusive definition of
this learning community.”
Accordingly, the commission has
proposed a Senate comprised of elected
representatives from four campus con-
stituencies: teaching faculty, students,
professional staff, and service staff. The
approximate percentage of their repre-
sentation on the Senate would be 40%,
30%, 5%, and 5% respectively, Several ex
officio members are provided as well.
The proposed by-laws also deal with
powers and responsibilities of the Senate,
its councils and committees, the uni-
versity faculty, and the schools and col-
leges.
FSA Continues Discussion
Of Food Service Operations
Two officers were elected and several
matters discussed at the continued
meeting of the Faculty-Student Associ-
ation board of directors and its member-
ship board held Dec. 15 in the Campus
Center. FSA president John Hartley pre-
sided in the absence of board chairman
President Benezet who was unable to at-
tend.
The nominations committee, chaired
by Vice President for University Affairs
Lewis Welch, a member of the member-
ship board, nominated Walter Balk for
FSA vice president; Margaret McKenna,
treasurer; and Carol Hughes, secretary.
Professor Balk was elected unanimously.
Daniel Burns, student activities counsel-
lor, was proposed from the floor as a
nominee for the office of treasurer and he
was elected. Miss Hughes withdrew her
name from contention and the nomi-
nating committee was instructed to pro-
pose a new choice.
Vice President for Management and
Planning Hartley advised that the special
committee formed to study recom-
mendations regarding food service op-
eration had not met, and therefore, was
not prepared to propose recom
mendations for action at the meeting.
The committee, which will meet before
the next scheduled meeting of the board,
hopes to have specific questions from in-
terested members.
Malcolm Corbiey and Richard Fink,
director and associate director of the
Food Service operation, were present to
answer questions. They commented at
some length about the nature of the prob-
lem of allocating costs to specific areas in
the Campus Center. Their policy supports
that concept, on a general basis, but ac-
curate breakdown of costs isn’t possible
under the present system. In order to ar-
rive at an accurate breakdown, it was esti-
mated the cost in accounting charges
would exceed savings.
The major portion of the problem, as
outlined by them, relates to the uni-
versity food service operation’s running
approximately 7% months annually.
Many of the help are hired on a full-time
basis. The men explained it was easier to
reduce costs in contract feeding arrange-
ments since there were fewer variables
than in the cash operation presently in
each of the Campus Center locations.
Board member M.E. Grenander pro-
posed that the Food Service adminis-
tration consider providing a quickly-
served, modestly-priced evening meal
which would appeal to faculty members
Attempted Robbery
Charged Against Two
Two SUNYA students are free on
$1,500 bail pending trial on charges of
attempting to rob a fellow student on the
uptown campus in November. They are
Melissa Orr and Geraldine Samuels, both
residents of the Indian Quadrangle.
The complainant alleges the pair
grabbed her about 9:15 on the campus
and attempted through force to get her
purse, police said. They were arraigned
before Police Justice Michael V. Tepedino
following the arrests which stemmed
from an investigation by campus security
investigator John Henighan.
Carl Sims, former student, who was
charged with second degree robbery and
third degree assault in an earlier case, has
been released in custody of the Albany
County Probation Department on con-
dition that he report to Hope House.
and students who had evening classes and
who did not wish to eat in the cafeteria
but did not desire the higher-priced, full
dinners which require more time to pre-
pare and to serve. Mr. Corbiey and Mr.
Fink indicated they would return to
another meeting when a lengthier dis-
cussion about the committee’s report
would continue.
Robert Cooley, FSA executive di-
rector, reported on the operations in the
month to date, indicating that, as the
meeting was being held two weeks earlier
than normal, he had little in the way of
firm figures available for the board, He
added that the Food Service operation
was in line with anticipated revenue for
the month and that the Bookstore was
operating ahead of its anticipated income.
Mr. Cooley asked the board for approval
of the sale of the house located at 6 War-
ren Street, Albany, for $21,000.
Also considered and approved at the
meeting were proposals to increase the
charges for use of the Mohawk property
to on-campus and off-campus groups. A
petition from a student to the board for
permission to waive his food plan arrange-
ment was not considered. It was the con-
sensus that such decisions are made ad-
November Grants
Vice President for Research Louis R.
Salkever has reported that funds received
by SUNYA during November for research
and programs totaled $159,857. Of the
total, the amount for sponsored research
was $78,405 and for sponsored programs,
$81,452.
Among the grantors are Air Force
Office of Scientific Research, Capital Dis-
trict Library Council, U.S. Department of
Commerce, Environmental Protection
Agency, General Electric Company, Na-
tional Endowment for the Humanities,
National Institutes of Health, and Na-
tional Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis-
tration.
Senate Passes
Five Proposals
Five of eight proposals brought be-
fore the Senate at its Dec. 13 meeting
were passed. They included the academic
calendar for 1972-73, a new three-year
baccalaureate program (see story, pg. 1),
SUNYA participation in the College Level
Examination Program, a change of
wording in Student Guidelines, and a fac-
ulty referendum to approve money to re-
imburse SUNYA delegates to the SUNY
Senate for expenses incurred in a legal ac-
tion against that Senate.
Senate defeated a bill to redefine the
physical education requirement and to es-
tablish an elective program in physical
education beyond the requirement. Ob-
jections centered on the granting of credit
toward graduation for such courses.
A bill to encourage evaluation of a
department’s priorities and directions as
part of its consideration of term appoint-
ment renewals was returned to the Coun-
cil on Educational Policy. A bill to en-
courage use of volunteer help by the li-
brary was postponed indefinitely.
Following the Senate meeting, facul-
ty members remained to endorse a reso-
lution calling upon “all members of the
faculty and professional staff to join the
local chapter of SPA”. The resolution
cited the need for a large paid member-
ship in SPA as a way of favorably influ-
encing contract negotiations.
ministratively, based on board-
determined policy, and the board should
not be in a position to act on individual
specific items.
The board approved in principle a
plan to provide kosher meals through a
designated area with a special kitchen. No
provision has been made yet for a lo-
cation, costs, and time.
At the beginning of the meeting Pa-
tricia Schumann, a new board member
appointed by the Student Association,
was introduced.

MELVIN UROFSKY (1.) presents copies of the Louis D. Brandeis letters to Judaic
studies department chairman Jerome Eckstein.
Judaic Studies
Receives Gift
A unique collection of photocopies
and microfilms of the Louis D. Brandeis
letters and documents has been given to
the Department of Judaic Studies. The
gift was made by Melvin I. Urofsky, as-
sistant dean of the Office of Innovative
and Developmental Education. He is co-
editor of Letters of Louis D. Brandeis,
published by State University of New
York Press, and author of A Mind of One
Piece: Brandeis and American Reform,
published by Charles Scribner’s Sons.
Jerome Eckstein, chairman of the de-
partment, said that the gift will constitute
a “wonderful source of reference and re-
search for Judaic scholars”. Included are
five large file drawers of photocopies of
the original Brandeis letters-and 16 reels
of microfilm representing large sections
of other major manuscript collections.
The material will be placed in the Library
Archives for ready availability.
Japan, Israel,
China Concerns
Kazuo Murakamy, deputy consul-
general of Japan in New York, will be on
campus Monday, Jan. 24, to participate
in an informal round table discussion
with faculty and students on “U.S.-Japan
relations and each party’s role in interna-
tional affairs”. Since he has requested
that the group be limited to 25 persons,
admission will be by invitation. Those in-
terested in participating should request an
invitation from the Office of Interna-
tional Programs, SS 110, 7-8678 or 8698,
by Friday.
Monday is also the deadline for pro-
gram proposals involving studies in Israel.
SUNYA will be participating in a con-
sortium of SUNY campuses interested in
exploring possibilities for greater collabo-
ration with Israeli universities. Although
the consortium is still in the planning
stage, the Office of International Pro-
grams wants to be sure that no SUNYA
program interests are overlooked.
The office also announces that China
scholars may apply for Ford Foundation
grants to go to China for professional re-
search purposes provided the People’s Re-
public of China will grant them visas. A
written proposal of the projected work
must be submitted to the Social Sciences
Research Council, 230 Park Avenue, New
York, N.Y., after the visa is obtained.
Further details and information about ap-
plying for a visa are available in SS 110.
Biologists Disprove Theory
On Movement of Amoeba
In an article in the Dec. 17 issue of
the journal Science, Robert D. Allen,
chairman of the biology department, and
two collaborators announced the results
of an experiment which they feel con-
clusively disproves a long-held theory of
how an amoeba forms its pseudopods
(false feet) and moves. The collaborators
are David Francis, a former member of
Dr. Allen’s research group who is now at
the University of Delaware, and Robert
Zeh, an electronics engineer at SUNYA,
Most biologists have been taught the
theory that the fluid contents of the
amoeba (cytoplasm) flows into pseudo-
pods in response to a gradient in pressure
caused by contraction of the tubular
outer region of the amoeba called the
ectoplasmic tube. The experiment re-
ported by Allen, Francis, and Zeh in Sci-
ence tested the pressure gradient directly
by applying a measured pressure gradient
in the other direction,
When suction was applied by a glass
capillary to one of an amoeba’s several
pseudopods, only the amoeba’s cyto-
plasm in the immediate region of the
capillary flowed into the capillary,
despite the fact that the pressure was
lowered there by an amount equivalent to
the pressure of a column of water 35 cm
(14 inches) high, Even this strong suction
did not prevent the extension of other
pseudopods against the applied pressure
gradient.
According to Dr. Allen’s “frontal
contraction theory”, the forces which
cause pseudopods to extend are applied
very near the tips of advancing pseudo-
pods. “The cytoplasm looks fluid,” Dr.
Allen said, “but has been shown to have
viscoelastic properties somewhat similar
to the white of an egg.”
The cytoplasm contains some of the
same molecules that are involved in the
contraction of muscle. These molecules
interact to produce a contraction of the
cytoplasm approaching each advancing
pseudotip. This contraction applies ten-
sion to the inner cytoplasm, pulling it
ahead, while the outer cytoplasm is sub-
jected to an equivalent backward push,
Backward movement of the outer
cytoplasm is rarely seen because of its
gellike properties and the fact that it is
attached, through the cell membrane, to
the surface on which the cell moves. In
this way, the backward push is applied to
New Members Join
University Council
Three new University Council mem-
bers, including an alumnus of SUNYA,
have been appointed by Governor Rocke-
feller. They are Victor K. Looper, Jr., C.
Theodore Carlson 3rd, and Wayne E.
Wagner who have been named to from
six-month to nine-year terms. The mem-
bers serve without pay except for ex-
penses.
Mr. Looper, a student at Albany Law
School, succeeds Mrs. Edna B. MacAffer
whose term expired in 1970. He was
graduated in 1970 from SUNYA where
he was named to MYSKANIA.
Mr. Carlson, of Delmar, is a prac-
ticing attorney in Albany who succeeds
John R. Hauf whose term expired last
year. He attended Union College and Al-
bany Law School.
Mr. Wagner, of Scotia, is a banker

tired. He presently is vice president and
senior officer of Schenectady. Trust Com-

the environment, and the cell moves
ahead.
“Tt is a little like lifting yourself by
the bootstraps,” Dr. Allen said. “How-
ever, it works better if you are an
amoeba.”
Dr. Allen first proposed his “frontal
contraction theory” in 1961. Subsequent
experimental work at SUNYA has yielded
evidence which strongly supports the
theory.
Closing Notice
Snow time is here and with it
arrangements for notification to the
university community in the event
classes are cancelled. President
Benezet would make such a de-
cision. Radio stations which would
carry the cancelled classes
announcement are WGY (810 kc),
WROW (590 kc), WPTR (1540 kc),
and WTRY (910 kc). The an-
nouncement of closing will also be
broadcast by WSUA.
Judicial Boards Pass Judgment
On 13 Student Offender Cases
During the last six weeks of the fall
semester the Quadrangle Judicial Boards
and the Student Judicial Committee
heard 23 cases involving 41 students.
Meanwhile, action on a new judicial sys-
tem is pending approval by several seg-
ments of university government.
Cases involved charges of engaging in
fraudulent behavior, obstruction and dis-
ruption of authorized activity, physical
Pianist To Play
Benefit Concerts
Findlay Cockrell, concert pianist and
assistant professor on the music faculty, has
offered his talents for the benefit of public
television. WMHT’s “Dateline: The Arts”
program, which has broadcast some of
SUNYA’s music concerts, is in financial
trouble. Mr. Cockrell has offered to do a
series of benefit concerts with the pro-
ceeds going to “Dateline”.
Mr. Cockrell has prepared several
programs of piano music which last ap-
proximately one hour. Persons or groups
may engage him to perform one of the
programs in their home. In return, they
will donate $100 to “Dateline”.
Mr. Cockrell hopes to do at least 10
concerts and will do as many as his sched-
ule will permit. At present he has received
four responses, including one from two
members of the faculty, Arrangements to
sponsor one of his concerts may be made
through WMHT by calling Lyon Todd at
356-1700, ext. 57.
As a recitalist and as a concert solo-
ist, Mr. Cockrell has performed ex-
tensively. His most recent performance
was Wednesday at the New York Cultural
Center in New York City.

abuse, harassment and intimidation, un-
authorized entry, violation of residence
tules, failure to comply with directions,
tampering with safety measures, and will-

Disciplinary action recommended
and confirmed by university action in-
cluded two cases of probation-one for a
year and one for this semester, one re-
moval from residence for this term, three
official disciplinary warnings, and eleven
unofficial warnings, No action was taken
in ten cases where charges were dropped
or there was insufficient evidence. Several
decisions are being appealed through the
committee on student conduct of the
Student Affairs Council. Two additional
cases of students accused of cheating on
exams were heard by a university hearing
officer at the students’ request. Both are
appealing the decision to place them on
disciplinary probation. Appeals have al-
ready been heard at one level where the
original decision was upheld.
SUPA/A To Meet
On Amendments,
1972 Elections
A general membership meeting of the
State University Professional Association
at Albany will be held today from noon
to 2 p.m. in LC 22. On the agenda are
presentation of candidates for officers
and board of directors and amendments
to the constitution and by-laws. The term
of office for those elected will begin on
Feb. 1 for the calendar year 1972.
The proposed constitutional amend-
ment seeks to extend regular membership
in the association to all full-time non-
teaching professional employees of
SUNYA. Currently, regular membership
is not open to non-teaching professionals
who are designated under the Taylor Law
as “management”.
A proposed amendment to the by-
laws would change the election procedure
to a mailed ballot. At the present time,
members must cast ballots at a common
polling place.
A report will be made to the mem-
bership on whatever information is availa-
ble on the progress of SPA bargaining. In
addition, any matters of concern raised
by individual members will be discussed.
Today is the last day of the 1972
membership drive by statewide SUPA and
SUPA/A. A single dues payment of $10
covers membership in both the statewide
and local organizations. Dues will be col-
lected at the meeting today from those
who have not yet paid. All persons paying
dues by today will be eligible to vote in
the elections.
Thefts Top Campus Security Report
Four calculators and two typewriters
were stolen during New Year’s weekend
from Room 232 in the Social Science
Building. The room is used as a statistical
laboratory by the psychology department
and the loss is estimated at $4,600.
Director of Security James R. Wil-
liams said that the entry was gained to
the locked room and that the locked ma-
chines were ripped out of tables. An in-
vestigation is underway and, reportedly, a
solution is expected.
Among other thefts reported during
December were those of binoculars taken
from_a_ laboratory
2
room, a_ bicycle
chained to a rack, an electric typewriter
from a girl’s suite, items from locked cars,
and cash from purses.
Taken into custody early on Dec. 27
in the Performing Arts Center were three
high school students. Placed on probation
for a year as youthful offenders were
David Nooney, Westmere, and Floyd Gil-
bert, Albany, who were charged with
criminal trespass. The third youth was
judged a juvenile, Arresting officers were
Walter Bonesteel and Joseph Keenan.
During December 76 crimes were re-
ported. They included burglary, 10; grand
larceny, five; petit larceny, 26; assault,
one; criminal mischief, 12; harassment,
four; aggravated harassment, one; and
criminal trespass, one. The total value of
stolen goods for the month was $4,865.
Control Needed
To the Editor:
I feel the time has come when the
honesty of students can no longer be re-
lied on, I’m referring to the system at the
SUNYA Bookstore where one leaves his
books and belongings at the entrance,
Whether it’s because of the book sale,
near finals, or someone hard up for
money, unsuspecting shoppers at the
store may return to find their personal
possessions stolen, This has happened in
the past, it has happened recently several
times, and it has happened to me.
We all hate more rules and regu-
lations, but because of a few who abuse
their freedoms, stricter control, I feel, is
needed. A system should be devised that
would insure that the right people get the
right books when they leave. Action, not
apathy, is needed.

Milne School To Eliminate |
Seventh and Eighth Grades
New directions in the educational
mission of The Milne School will result in
a change in the school’s historical organi-
zation. Beginning in September 1972 the
seventh grade will be discontinued with
the eighth grade being discontinued in
1973. Applications for the latter will be
taken through this year.
In announcing the changes, President
Benezet said, “Continued operation of
grades 9 through 12 is planned. This
grade span supports the university cen-
ter’s mission of preparing high school
teachers and of developing new methods
and materials of instruction. In addition,
the new time-shortened degree program
will require support of the kind that a
university-administered high school such
as Milne is in a favorable position to pro-
vide.”
Recommendations from the School
of Education last year called for revision
in The Milne School operational pattern,
changing the student-teaching opportu-
nity to pre-student-teaching experiences
and increasing the amount of experi-
mental and innovative work, “It becomes
clear that the better use of our limited
fiscal resources, -under present budget
conditions, is to concentrate them on the
new directions desired for Milne,” Presi-
dent Benezet said.
SUNY Tackles
Financial Crisis
Four general ways in which the State
University is meeting the current financial
crisis were outlined in a recent letter to
the faculty from Arthur Collins, chairman
of the University Senate. He based his let-
ter on a series of meetings between the
Chancellor and faculty and student repre-
sentatives.
The four approaches cited by Dr.
Collins are “(1) rethinking the pattern of
growth and expansion; (2) making in-
ternal reforms with an eye to innovation,
increased productivity, and more efficient
space utilization, (3) seeking additional
sources of revenue. ..; and (4) affirming
the value of the university.
“In all of these areas, your Senate
and the SUNYA administration have been
deeply involved,” he said. “The major
goal has been to avoid simple cutbacks in
budgeting and enrollment across the
board; such measures would strangle all
programs ultimately. The emphasis has
been instead on reviewing priorities and
performance to be sure that effective sup-
port is provided where it is most needed.”
Dr. Collins called for full university
cooperation in the fourth area, affirming
the value of the university. “A real effort
is needed to enable the members of the
State Legislature to know the quality and
value of SUNY,” he noted. He urged
alumni, students, and faculty “to declare
their faith in our common effort and to
educate the Legislature as to the social,
political, and economic significane of
SUNY to the state and to social, political,
and economic significance of SUNY to
the state and to the nation.”
