October 18, 1971
FACULTY WIVES, including Mrs.
inard Haniuk, left, and Mrs. Roy Klages, aided the
United Fund campus drive by stuffing envelopes with campaign literature. With the
campaign at the mid-way point, less than 25% of the goal of $36,277 had been
pledged. Payroll deduction cards and other material are available from Dr. Klages.
Doctoral Graduates from SUNYA
Escape Unemployment Difficulties
Despite considerable nationwide pub-
licity concerning unemployment among
recipients of doctoral degrees, SUNYA
graduates apparently are not en-
countering such problems.
Information provided by the Office
of Graduate Studies is based on a
questionnaire circulated to all depart-
ments offering doctorates. The responses,
as compiled by Robert McFarland, as-
sistant dean of graduate studies, indicate
that no recipient of a doctorate in 1971 is
currently seeking employment and is un-
employed. Further, most doctoral candi-
dates who have completed all require-
ments except the dissertation and who
are seeking jobs already have found em-
ployment.
Louis R. Salkever, dean of graduate
studies, believes that the unemployment
problem among doctoral graduates else-
where is due to two factors.
“The notion that an oversupply of
doctorates will cause an across-the-board
employment problem is erroneous,” he
stated. “Those experiencing trouble are
Representatives Named
To President’s Council
Five representatives to President
Benezet’s advisory council have been
named. The council will hold its first
meeting as soon as the remaining seven
members have been chosen.
Announced to date are Donald Whit-
lock and Joel True, representing the non-
teaching professional staff; Warren
Haynes, academic deans; Pamela Bena-
nati, graduate students; and Jerry Lee,
EOP.
Yet to be chosen are three faculty at
large, and two each undergraduate stu-
dents and CSEA employees.
Dr. Benezet said the council will deal
with problems other than academic and
will help keep him in closer touch with
the university’s various elements.
the marginal students and those from
less-respected schools. Statistics on our
graduates reflect favorably both on the
students and university.”
The second point made by Dr.
Salkever is that much of the unemploy-
ment of doctorates is among those per-
sons in specialized fields, such as aero-
space, and not among recent graduates.
Re-employing such a person is a problem,
since he has become so specialized in his
job.
Modified Semester Plan
Retained for 1972-73 Year
A proposed academic calendar for
1972-73 is now under discussion and is
expected to be presented before the Sen-
ate at its Nov. 8 meeting. It is being pre-
pared under the supervision of Edgar B.
Schick, assistant to the president.
Senate’s Educational Policies Council
has discussed the calendar and will recom-
mend to the Senate that the modified se-
mester plan be continued for one more
year. It has also passed a resolution re-
questing the Executive Committee to
form an ad hoc committee to examine
the entire matter of the academic calen-
dar with a view toward establishing the
calendar pattern for at least two years at
a time, They would be asked to report by
May.
Student leaders in the Student As-
sociation and the Graduate Student As-
sociation were being consulted last week
as to their opinions of the calendar pro-
posal.
Tentative dates for 1972-73 include
beginning classes for the fall on Aug, 28
and ending the semester, including final
exams, shortly before Christmas. Spring
term classes would begin on Jan. 15 and
end on May 16. Final exams would fol-
low with commencement scheduled for
June 2,
Two recesses would be provided in
the spring, one the week of Feb. 19 and
the other from April 16-25, Provision
would be made in both semesters for sus-
pending classes for Jewish holy days
which fall on a weekday.
Two recent requirements established
by the SUNY Chancellor have restricted
SUNYA’s perogatives in formulating the

The Brass Quintet maintains an ex-
tensive concert schedule and has recorded

pecially for it. Much of the music played
is pre-Bach, such as the antiphonal works
of 16th and 17th century composers. Sev-
eral late 18th and early 19th century
pieces have also been included.
Another in the music department’s
faculty concert series will be held tomor-
row night at 8:30 in the PAC Main
Theater. Irvin Gilman, flute, and Dennis
Helmrich, piano and harpsichord, will
perform music spanning four centuries.

cello, Gaubert, Varese, and Prokofieff.

played associate principal flute at Lincoln
Center in New York City with the Ameri-
can Ballet Theater Orchestra. Mr. Helm-
rich was on the faculty of the Berkshire

Clinie Provides
Speech Therapy
A university speech clinic, sponsored
by the department of speech pathology
and audiology, is available as a service to
registered students, faculty and their rela-
tives, who have speech and/or language
problems. There is no charge for the ser-
vice.
The program encompasses diagnostic
evaluation and therapy for problems as-
sociated with sound production errors,
vocal quality disturbances, stuttering, for-
eign dialect, and hearing impairment. In
general, any problem that limits effective
oral communication is handled.
Evaluation initially is done by the di-
rector of the clinic, Mrs. Lynn R. Moran,
a lecturer in speech pathology and audio-
logy, who holds a Certificate of Clinical
Competence from the American Speech
and Hearing Association. Therapy is car-
ried out by graduate students in the de-
partment, who comprise the clinic staff,
under the director’s supervision.
Should the need arise for treatment
not available at the clinic, referral is made
to the proper agency. Included among re-
ferrals would be such services as medical
evaluation in conjunction with the basic
problem.
Eligible persons wishing to take ad-
vantage of the services offered by the
clinic may contact Mrs. Moran in Hu-
manities 384, Monday-Friday,

Council Approves $33,100
For New EOP Association
Several minority groups have re-
ceived recent financial support from Cen-
tral Council. Largest of the appropri-
ations, $33,100, went to the newly-
organized EOP Student Association.
Although the EOP-SA has been
formed to serve needs of EOP students
that allegedly have been neglected, it was
emphasized that all sponsored activities
will be open to all students. The appropri-
ation bill was passed, 12-11, by a roll-call
vote after being defeated, 10-10-2, by
Pair Arrested;
Thefts Continue
Two arrests were made on the cam-
pus during the first week in October by
the security force. One resulted from de-
struction of the traffic control gate at the
west end of the podium access road.
Ardath Jameison, Schenectady, non-
student, was reported to have been ob-
served breaking the gate and driving
through. He was arrested, taken to the
Albany Police, and charged with criminal
mischief, third degree,
Douglas H. Kern, a student, was ar-
rested and charged with disorderly con-
duct and resisting arrest when he was re-
portedly found at 2 a.m. near con-
struction equipment with parts in his pos-
session. While being questioned the sub-
ject allegedly attacked and threatened the
arresting officers.
One robbery took place when three
or more males attacked a male student
from the rear and took his wallet by
force. The wallet was recovered later with
all cash removed.
Thefts and burglaries continue to oc-
cur daily. Prime targets are purses, wal-
lets, small radios, and bicycles. The latter
are usually removed by cutting restraining
locks and cables. Most wallets and purses
are removed from rooms with unlocked
doors, although some are taken from
public places when items are left
unattended,
