FSA Board To
Sell Property,
End Patroon Room Dinners
Drastic revisions in Faculty-Student
Association operations and programming
are being put into effect or under study
as a result of action taken at the Board of
Directors meeting on Nov. 20. Following
a report by acting director Norbert Zahm,
the board moved to discontinue service in
the Patroon Room in the evening as well
as special function meals effective with
the end of this semester. Special
functions will be available for groups
large enough to carry cost of staff. Rates
may increase for such services.
The board also authorized sale of the
Waverly Place property and established a
committee to review the balance of
FSA-owned property and to recommend
action.
FSA President John Hartley was
instructed to attempt to find university
funds to cover the annual rental of FSA
office space or to locate suitable space on
university-owned property.
A committee was established to
study the feasibility of closing dining
facilities in all but one residence
quadrangle during commencement week.
Also under study are a proposal to
consider possibilities of altering the use of
the Campus Center cafeteria and the
question of subsidy of meal plans for
residence hall directors. Other aspects of
food service operations will be studied.
Linguists Meet
The Linguistics Colloquium, spon-
sored by the Committee to Develop a
Linguistics Program here, will meet
Wednesday at 8 p.m. in HU 290.
Leo Pap, professor of linguistics at
SUC New Paltz, will speak on “Linguistic
Terminology As a Source of Verbal Fic-
tions.” He will examine the possible con-
sequences of some of the ways in which
linguists talk about language. He also will
deal with the Whorf-Sapir hypothesis as
applied to linguistics terminology.
All interested are invited to attend.
The board has asked Messrs. Hartley
and Zahm to investigate and report on
the possibility of transferring the
operation of the bookstore to an
independent franchise. Discussed, but not
acted upon, were proposals to increase
the charge for check cashing to $.20 and
to remove support of the programs at the
Mohawk Campus, the Glen House, and
university functions. It was pointed out
that the first two items are approaching
the break-even point and soon will be
carrying themselves.
The next meeting is scheduled to be
held on Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. in CC 375.

Biologist To Lecture on Limb Deformity
John W. Saunders, Jr., professor of
biological sciences and a nationally
known developmental biologist, will give
the third lecture in the 1972-73 Univer-
sity Series here Thursday evening in the
Recital Hall of the Performing Arts Cen-
ter. The program, to which the public is
invited, will begin at 8 p.m.
Professor Saunders’ subject will be
“Control of Limb Development and
Deformity”. The illustrated lecture has
been described as providing a scientist’s
glimpse at an enigma of life-puzzling
“conversations” between layers of cells
which contol the pattern of development
of human limbs soon after conception.
Dr. Saunders, who joined the faculty
here in 1967, has been awarded many
federal grants for research studies in
developmental biology and has occupied
executive positions with various profes-
sional societies and editorships with
journals. He has been president of the
Society for Developmental Biology, the
national society of developmental biolo-
gists, and has served as chairman of the
Division of Developmental Biology of the
American Society of Zoologists.
Professor Saunders is the author of a
large number of scientific articles and of
two books dealing with the role of pro-
grammed cell death in embryogenesis.
Presently he is writing a major text for
developmental biology courses.
Prior to coming to SUNYA Dr. Saun-
ders was professor of anatomy at the
Veterinary School of the University of
Pennsylvania.
