STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ALBANY
February 1, 1971
Droessler Elected
Head of UCAR
Vice-president for research Earl G.
Droessler has been elected chairman of
the board of trustees of the University
Corporation for Atmospheric Research
(UCAR). The corporation was created in
1959 to establish a National Center for
Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Under
the sponsorship of the National Science
Foundation, UCAR operates NCAR.
Dr. Droessler was one of the NCAR
founders and has played an active role in
its activities. Prior to his appointment at
SUNYA, he was program director for
Atmospheric Sciences, National Science
Foundation.
Commenting on his new duties as
chairman, Dr. Droessler said, “The Na-
tional Center now employees about 100
innovative scientists and total employ-
ment is about 500 people. These person-
nel and research programs have been built
up by the cooperating universities over
the past 10 years. Today, NCAR enjoys a
respectable position as a high quality re-
search center. The opportunity of the
decade of the 1970’s is to employ this
research excellence toward the solutions
of some of the problems of mankind
centered on improving the quality of
life.”
Upon learning of Dr. Droessler’s elec-
tion, President Benezet remarked, “Natu-
rally we are pleased by the selection of
Dr. Droessler for a post that has national,
if not international, significance. His dedi-
cation to atmospheric science reflects this
university in one of its fastest growing
and most promising phases of scientific
activity.”
The creation of NCAR was recom-
mended by the scientific community to
accelerate progress in the atmospheric sci-
ences and stimulate research to increase
man’s knowledge of his environment.
Zukofsky Concert
Tops Week’s Fare
Paul Zukofsky, one of the foremost
interpreters of violin music of the 20th
Century, will appear in concert 8:30 Fri-
day evening in the Main Theater of the
Performing Arts Center.
For his concert, Mr. Zukofsky,
accompanied by Gilbert Kalish, pianist,
will be performing works by American
composers Charles Ives, Milton Babbitt,
and Joel Chadabe, of the university
faculty.
Admission to the concert, sponsored
by the Music Council, will be one dollar
with tax cards and three dollars for the
general public.
This evening the last concert in the
Beethoven series is scheduled for 8:30 in
the Recital Hall of the Performing Arts
Center. A selection of Beethoven string
trios will be performed by the American
String Trio with Irvin Gilman, flute.
Also this week, on Wednesday, an
Electronic Music concert will be given in
the Art Gallery of the fine arts building.
Both of these concerts are free and open
to the public.
SU Employees
Choose Agent
The Senate Professional Association
(SPA) emerged as the bargaining agent for
some 16,000 SUNY professional employ-
ees last week, edging the State University
Federation of Teachers (SUFT) in a run-
off election.
SPA received 5,491 votes to 4,794
for SUFT, as slightly more than 10,000
of the 16,000 eligible voters participated.
Last month, in a four-way election, SUFT
received a plurality, but not a majority.
The other two candidates — Civil Service
Employees Association and the American
Association of University Professors —
were eliminated. :
SPA is a year-old coalition of teach-
ing and non-teaching professionals within
the SUNY system. It originally was an
off-shoot of the University Senate, but
now is an independent group.
SUFT is affiliated with the American
Federation of Teachers, which has wide
representation among high school teach-
ers and has attempted in recent months
to include university personnel.
The elections were supervised by the
Public Employment Relations Board. It is
expected that negotiations will begin
soon on both university-wide and local
campus issues.
Two New Administrators
Fill Vice President Posts
Two vice presidents were appointed
last week with the approval of the State
University Board of Trustees. They are
Phillip L. Sirotkin, named vice president
for academic affairs, and John W.
Hartley, vice president for management
and planning. Both will begin their new
duties March 1.
Dr. Sirotkin has been associate direc-
tor of the National Institute of Mental
Health in Washington. He will succeed
Charles T. O’Reilly, dean of the School of
Social Welfare, who has been acting vice
president for academic affairs since July
1969.
Mr. Hartley comes to Albany from
the Claremont Colleges, California, where
he served as Treasurer. He assumes the
post vacated by Milton C. Olson, who is
resigning as vice president to return to
teaching in the department of business
education.
While at his Washington position, Dr.
Sirotkin served as principal officer for leg-
islative development, program planning,
program analysis and evaluation, inter-
agency liaison, and field operations. The
National Institute of Mental Health is the
largest of the nine National Institutes of
Health in the Public Health Service, U.S.
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare. Prior to his appointment as
associate director, Dr. Sirotkin had served
the NIMH as consultant and later as spe-
cial assistant to the associate director of
extramural programs.
Earlier in his career, the newly-
named administrator was a special
consultant to the Office of Human
Resource and Social Development,
Agency for International Development.
In 1959 he was a faculty member at the
Institute for Administrative Studies,
Western Interstate Commission for Higher
Education.
As SUNYA’s vice president for
management and planning, Mr. Hartley
will direct the university’s budget office,
business office, personnel office, security,
building service, office of space manage-
ment, and office of institutional research.
Board of Trustees Raises Tuition
SUNY Construction Cost Cited
Increased tuition costs for all
students, and indications the rates will
rise again in two years, were announced
by President Benezet at Campus Forum
last week.
Beginning in September, yearly
undergraduate resident tuition will be
$550; out of state students will pay $900.
Resident graduate students will pay $800
and non-residents will pay $1,000.
Tuition for professional students will be
$1,000 for residents and $1,200 for
non-residents,
President Benezet said the increases
were necessary to meet construction costs
in the SUNY system, which are financed
through tuitions.
Noting that the $400 yearly tuition
had remained unchanged for eight years,
the president added that the Board of
Trustees indicated further tuition hikes
were planned after another two years,
though no figures were given.
He said state scholarships would
adjust to the new rates.
The president also asked the
Faculty-Student Association to discuss
the possibility of the university buying
only union-picked lettuce in support of
California farm labor groups.
In response to rumors that EOP
offices would be moved from the library,
President Benezet said no program
directly related to campus life would be
moved because of space limitations.
For eight years, the new Albany
administrator was chief financial and
business officer of The Claremont Col-
leges, a group of five private undergradu-
ate colleges and a university center re-
sponsible for a graduate school and
shared facilities enterprises. Previously, he
served two years as controller and busi-
ness manager of the colleges. He also has
been secretary-treasurer of Gladding,
McBean & Co., Los Angeles, a diversified
manufacturing company where he was
employed 14 years.
Dr. Sirotkin has studied at Wayne
State University and the University of
Chicago, where he earned a Master of
Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. Mr.
Hartley was educated at Stanford Univer-
sity, UCLA, and the University of
tkin
Phillip L.
Senate Approves
Double Major
“We are in a financial bind, but not a
depression,” President Benezet told the
Senate at its January 25 meeting. He said
the statewide pinch on operating and
capital construction funds made it dif-
ficult for the university to keep pace with
increasing enrollment without a tuition
hike. (Such an increase was announced
two days later in New York.)
The Senate passed without dissent
bills establishing double majors, a Ph.D.
program in German, and a temporary
commission on area college cooperation.
The double major bill, introduced by
the Undergraduate Academic Council,
enables students to declare a major in two
departments, completing the major re-
quirements of both departments. The
German Ph.D. program has an effective
date of June 15.
The temporary commission on area
college cooperation is charged with
investigating existing programs of cooper-
ation among universities elsewhere,
present SUNYA and area agreements, and
the formulation of both immediate goals
and long-range programs. The Executive
Committee will appoint six commission
members: one administrator, two faculty
members, two undergraduate students,
and one graduate student.
Central Council Statement
Seeks All Locks Changed
In its first session of the second
semester, Central Council adopted a
position statement regarding locks and
keys to student rooms.
The statement, which was introducd
by Leonard Kopp and passed 21-0-4,
charges the housing office with “negli-
gence” in handling keys. It notes that
“many keys have been lost, others mis-
used, and still other master keys are given
out without the proper discretion needed
to insure a student’s room of normal
security.”
To solve the problem, the statement
requests that all locks on residence rooms
“be changed from their present system to
one that would insure the proper security
of the occupants and their property.”
Central Council noted that all locks
would have to be changed to achieve such
Summer Program
Offered in Israel
State University College at Oneonta,
in cooperation with universities in Israel,
Turkey, and Iran, and the Department of
Education and Culture of the Jewish
Agency, is offering two summer academic
programs in Israel in July and August.
The programs are “Modern Israel: An
Interdisciplinary Survey” and “Islamic
Civilization: A Comparative Study of the
Middle Eastern World.” Each course will
be for an eight-week period and will
award nine semester hours of credit to
students who satisfactorily complete the
academic work.
Participation in both courses is
limited to teachers and students
(undergraduate and graduate) who can
meet the entrance requirements of SUNY
and who have a serious purpose for taking
the course. There are no language
requirements.
Director of the programs for the fifth
straight year is Dr. Yonah Alexander,
professor of international and foreign
area studies at Oneonta. Persons desiring
further information may write Dr.
Alexander at State University College,
Oneonta, New York 13820, or the

English in Action
Helps Foreigners
A joint project of SUNYA’s English
as-a-Second-Language program and the
Albany International Center has got
people talking. English in Action is the
name of the program, which has units
throughout the country. Its purpose is to
help foreign students and visitors in the
United States practice English with
American volunteers.
Each week native speakers of Chi-
nese, Korean, Thai, Spanish, Portuguese,
Polish, and French meet to spend an hour
in informal conversation with American
students. The foreigners and Americans
maintain a one-to-one relationship.
Dr. Ruth Blackburn, coordinator of
the program, reports that there are cur-
rently more American volunteers than
foreign students who want the service.
She points out that the Americans receive
nothing for their time, not even practice
in their partner’s language. “It just tells us
something about.our young people,” she
said. “You only have to mention the
word ‘volunteer’ and they respond.”
security, but said that the housing office
already has replaced all resident directors’
locks with locks not related to the master
key system used elsewhere on campus.
Furthermore, Central Council has
asked the Albany Student Press to con-
duct a poll of all students during this
month “to determine the amount of theft
that has taken place in locked rooms, if
assurances are not given that all locks will
be changed.”
In other action, Central Council
appointed a temporary Committee on
Investigative Procedures. It charged the
committee to prepare “a comprehensive
statement of principals and procedural
tules to be followed by Student Associa-
tion groups, organizations, and governing
units in the conduct of investigations.” A
progress report is due by February 18 and
a final report on March 11.
Defeated by one vote was a proposal
to change a section of Finance Policy.
The new version would have prohibited
spending money from the lines affected
by Commission transfers, line changes, or
appropriations until written notification
of approval of such changes has been
received by the group’s chairman and
commission chairman from the chairman
of Finance Committee.
STUDENT ASSOCIATION offices are always a busy place. Located on the third floor
of the Campus Center, they are the nerve center of student government activities. See

Pollution Is A Global Problem
Notes Nathan Wright After Trip
“We're killing the universe,” said
Nathan Wright, chairman of the Depart-
ment of Afro-American Studies, as he
returned from an around-the-world trip
that included visits with prominent
African leaders.
Dr. Wright indicated that the major
concern voiced by people he visited was
pollution. “They kept pointing out that
the United States causes 45% of the
Peace Corps Will Be On Campus
To Assist All Interested Applicants
Representatives from the Peace
Corps will be on campus February 15-18
to entertain questions and to assist inter-
ested students in applying for member-
ship in the Peace Corps. Applications may
be obtained in the placement office prior
to the visit.
The following majors can be practi-
cally assured of an invitation to train for
Peace Corps service, barring medical or
Area Workshops
To Aid Schools
Service to area schools through work-
shops for improving instruction in busi-
ness education is being provided by
Gordon J. Simpson, assistant professor
and supervisor of student teaching in
business education in The Milne School.
Appointment of Mr. Simpson as an
“area leader” by the state Bureau of Busi-
ness and Office Education is part of a
state program to aid local schools in keep-
ing their instructional programs up to
date. Through in-service meetings and
workshops, the area leaders will dissemi-
nate information on recent developments
in materials and techniques of instruction
and assist teachers in sharing successful
instructional practices.
The nine counties for which Mr.
Simpson is responsible comprise one of
fifteen such areas designated by the State
Education Department. Consultant
service to fifteen schools under the
program has been provided by Mr.
Simpson in upper New York State since
he was appointed to this position in
mid-November.
Mr. Simpson has been chairman of
the business education department of The
Milne School since 1968. Prior to his
joining the State University at Albany
faculty in 1966, he was a member of the
business department of the Ravena-
Coeymans Central School.

ences: agricultural degrees of any type,
home economics and nutrition, B.S. in
nursing, accounting, MBA, math/science,
civil and industrial engineering, architec-
ture, city planning, industrial and voca-
tional education. In addition, the Peace
Corps is looking for anyone who has lived
or worked on a farm, regardless of his
major.
It should not be inferred that people
without the above skills need not apply—
merely that they will face stiffer competi-
tion. Current projections indicate that
50% of all Peace Corps volunteers slated
to go overseas this coming year will be
from the arts and social sciences.
The processing of an application by
Washington usually takes two months or
more. Therefore an early submission is
important if one hopes to begin training
in June or July.

NSF Awards Grant
For Science Education
Thomas A. Boehm, chairman of The
Milne School science department and
associate professor of science education
at SUNYA, has received a $30,628 Na-
tional Science Foundation grant. The
award, which is a sequel to previous NSF
grants in 1969-70 and 1970-71, is in sup-
port of a cooperative college-school sci-
ence program designed to improve junior
high school instruction in six area school
systems.
Some 30 teachers selected from the
junior high school science departments of

Part of Dr. Wright’s trip included a
study of the caste system in India as a
means to understanding racial problems
in the United States. The study,
conducted as part of a Ford Foundation
project with Jogindar S. Uppal, a SUNYA
economics professor and native of India,
has not been completed. Dr. Wright in-
dicated, however, that there was some
correlation between India’s “untouch-
ables’? and minority groups in this
country.
Dr. Wright, author of nine books,
had two works published while on his
trip. “Let’s Face Racism,” published by
Thomas Nelson, Inc., is a short study of
the sociological and economic develop-
ment of racism in the United States. It is
part of the publisher’s series of Youth
Forum books, aimed at exploring current
ideas for young people.
“What Black Educators Are Saying,”
published by Hawthorn Books, Inc., is a
series of essays edited by Dr. Wright
which deals with the problems of Black
educatiors and their suggestions for
change. Six of the essays are by Dr.
Wright; other authors include Preston
Wilcox, Leslie Campbell, Edward K.
Weaver and Albert Vann.
New History Course
Initiates Joint Program
A new course in South American
history marks the beginning of a teacher-
sharing program between the SUNY units
at Albany and New Paltz.
The course, which is concerned with
the northern portion of the continent
known for a time as Gran Colombia, is
being taught by Ignacio Mendez, profes-
sor of Latin American history at State
University College at New Paltz Dr.
Mendez, a native of Colombia, will travel
to Albany for the class each Tuesday
evening.
“This is a modest beginning of a pro-
gram of cooperation to strengthen area
studies on the Albany and New Paltz
campuses,” said Frank G. Carrino, direc-
tor of the SUNYA Center for Inter-
American Studies. Carrino said he ex-
pected the program to expand with
teachers from both schools participating.
Students from New Paltz may travel
to Albany for the class, which is a semi-
nar for graduate students in history and
Latin American studies. The seminar
covers the histories of present-day
Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and
Panama.
Children’s Theater Groups
Invited to SUNYA in 1972
Editor’s Note: The following article by
Patricia B. Snyder, director of children’s
theater at SUNYA, is reprinted with
permission of the Albany Times-Union.
At the 1970 Congress of ASSITEJ
(The International Children’s Theater
Organization) held late in October 1970
in Venice, the United States delegation
extended official invitations to four for-
eign children’s theater groups to perform
at the 1972 Congress which will be held
on the State University campus in
Albany.
Those invited were: The Central Chil-
dren’s Theater of Moscow (Russia), The
Jon Creanga Theater of Bucharest
(Rumania), The Lalka Puppet Theater
(Poland) and The Young Vic Theater of
London (England). American companies
will also perform, but have not yet been
selected by the program committee for
the ’72 ASSITEJ gathering.
Plans of the State University’s Per-
forming Arts Center in Albany were pre-
sented to the Russian and Rumanian dele-
gations in Venice, with both countries
expressing enthusiastic anticipation at the
opportunity to perform in what they de-
scribed as “such a fine facility.”
Dr. Paul Bruce Pettit, chairman of
the department of theater at SUNYA,
travelled from Venice to London to dis-
cuss plans with Frank Dunlop, director of
the The Young Vic Theater and assistant
to Sir Laurence Olivier, director of
Britain’s National Theater.
Planning for the 1972 Congress at
Albany now moves into high gear, with
preparations culminating in the late
spring of that year, when nearly 500 dele-
gates from around the world are expected
to come to New York’s Capitol city for
the ASSITEJ gathering.
The 1970 Congress was held in con-
junction with La Biennale di Venezia, a
festival of the arts held each year in the
lagoon city. The emphasis was on produc-
tions, as there were live theatrical presen-
tations from the first to the last day of
the Congress. A total of 9 plays were
presented.
Czechoslovakian Faust
Among the groups performing were
the Comedie de Lorrain from Nancy,
France; a Czechoslovakian group which
presented a children’s version of “Doctor
Faust”; The Angelicum Theater from
Milan, Italy; and The Everyman Players
from the U.S.A., who presented their cur-
rent touring productions of “The Tor-
toise and the Hare” and “The Book of
Job.” Most of the productions were
greeted with enthusiastic appreciation
from the audiences of Italian children in
attendance for the performances.
Notably, the Everyman group’s “Tor-
toise and the Hare” was more than suc-
cessful, with the children on their feet
cheering on the tortoise at the photo-
finish ending of the play. The language
barrier apparently caused no problem.
A series of films for children was also
presented concurrently with the live pro-
ductions, as was an extensive exhibition
of marionettes gathered by Italy’s fore-
most marionette family, the Fratelli
Colla.
Daily business sessions held in the
morning hours were also a part of the
1970 Congress. On the first day of the
gathering, two major addresses were deliv-
ered. Konstantin Chak-Azizov, president
of ASSITEJ and director of The Central
Children’s Theater of Moscow, spoke
about the connection between the
psychological development of today’s
child (between 8 and 11) and theater for
children.
Jon Lucian, director of Rumania’s
Jon Creanga Theater (Bucharest), treated
the actor and director as the interpreters
of infancy in his address.
The ensuing morning sessions fea-
tured discussions revolving around these
two topics and the delivery of several
other formal papers by theater artists
from around the world.
Twenty-six countries were repre-
sented at the 1970 ASSITEJ Congress,
with about 200 delegates present. Offi-
cials expressed disappointment that more
countries were not represented, but spec-
ulated that because of the lateness of this
gathering (the congress is usually held in
the late spring), many delegates could not
travel to Italy.
The United States was well repre-
sented, with 25 delegates in attendance.
The State University of New York was
represented by Dr. Pettit, chairman of the
department of theater; Dr. Jarka Burian,
professor of theater and this writer. The
US. delegation included students, other
college professors, cultural directors, chil-
dren’s theater directors and actors, and
technical theater specialists.
Varied Program
The Venetian hosts for the 1970
Congress did their best to offer an inter-
esting program, and were successful for
the most part. Hospitality took the form
of an official reception at the Casino
Municipal on the Grand Canal and a tour
of the several islands that surround the
city of Venice.
The official sessions of the 1970
Congress were not especially stimulating,
since there tended to be too many formal
presentations rather than give-and-take
discussion.
Most absent, perhaps, was the ability
to discuss the productions which had
been presented. However, no delegate
came away from Venice with any doubt
in his mind as to the importance of chil-
dren’s theater: The formal presentations
represented months, even years, of care-
ful study and research, and much valuable
information was passed along for this
country, and others, to consider
carefully.
This writer departed from Venice
after the Congress for Budapest, Hungary,
where we were the guests of the Hungar-
ian government for a week. While there,
we had the opportunity to see a lion’s
share of theater, both for children and
adults.

Szekely and his wife Rose, shown here at their villa in Budapest. Dr. Szekely was the

On _the Student Side
Graffiti At SUNYA
Lately there has been a great deal of
hub-bub about the various graffiti located
on campus. Being such a great admirer of
the stuff, I set out upon a tour of the
most popular men’s rooms (women are
totally unliberated in the field of graffiti,
although I only know this through rumor
and not fact) on the campus.
My research led me to the conclusion
that there are three basic types of wall
writing, and to be more specific, stall
writing. First is the straightforward ob-
scenity. Here is an example: CENSORED.
These one word phrases (both hyphen-
ated and unhyphenated) can be found
anywhere from the bowling alley to the
administration building.
Second is the simple one-sentence
character assassination. A simple exam-
ple: Henry A. Crackhand is a CEN-
SORED, CENSORED, CENSORED-
CENSORED. Quite a mouthful, eh? But
these too, are relatively uncreative.
Third is the statement on life and the
times. These are the funny and thought-
provoking time-consumers which make
your time in the stall hurry-up a little.
Here is a collection of some of my most
favorite creative graffiti.
“For every meal at SUNYA that you
eat, you get to read this three times.”
“Life is a hereditary disease.”
“You cannot petition the Lord with
prayer. (And in different handwriting)
Subpoena him.”
“Teacher, excuse me, but is this
exam oral or rectal.”
“Sit back, relax, and imagine how
extensive exhibit of
marionettes made by the Fratelli Colla, Italy’s first family of puppeteers. All the
characters from Macbeth made up a small portion of the exhibit.
funny you look sitting there.”
“Bob eats pits and spits out the
watermellon.”
“God is dead... .
Sam”
(Different handwriting) “Sam is
dead...
God”
(And in still different handwriting)
“Sam is God. . .
Dead”
By far my most favorite is by
someone who answered a. graffiti
question, “Is there life after birth?” His
answer, “No. If we had been good when
we were alive, then we wouldn’t be here
now.”

Latin Instruction
Cited at Milne
New techniques in Latin instruction
being tested experimentally in The Milne
School are described in the recently pub-
lished Britannica Review of Foreign Lan-
guage Education. The publication is re-
garded as an indispensable tool for teach-
ers and administrators making decisions
about foreign language instruction.
The Latin V independent study
course presently conducted and super-
vised by Mrs. Mary Wilson is described
and the monograph, “Teaching Latin in
the Middle School,” and the related films
produced in Milne are cited. Mrs. Harriet
Norton and Charles Graber prepared the
materials with support from the Ameri-
can Classical League grant.
The “Institute for Advanced Study
in Arts and Humanities: Latin” under the
direction of Mrs. Norton, assisted by Mr.
Graber, in the summer of 1969 is de-
scribed in some detail. Its purpose was to
improve the quality of Latin teachers by
preparing them to initiate, develop, and
maintain effective programs of Latin for
middle schools (grades 5-8). Of four
funded institutes, the SUNY Albany pro-
gram was one of two funded by the U.S.
Office of Education, while two received
other types of support.
Study of a foreign language for its
humanizing effect and availability of lan-
guage study to students of all ability lev-
els, which have been basic objectives in
the Milne junior high program for 20
years, are among the ideas discussed in
the publication.
Sayles Hall Defacement
Causes Lounge Closing
The second floor lounge at Sayles
Hall has been locked indefinitely after
being defaced for the second time in a
month. The walls have been cleaned
again, but the room will remain closed
while attempts are made to ascertain
responsibility for the action.
The latest incident occured in the
early hours of Sunday, January 24, and
was reported to a member of the
residence staff early that afternoon. In
the first case, several weeks previously,
the writing was thought to be a spon-
taneous prank by a number of persons;
this time, it apparently was a deliberate,
vindictive act by relatively few indi-
viduals. The writing was of a similar
nature, but not as extensive as the initial
“decoration.”
The $78 cost of repainting the room
the first time was to be shared by resi-
dents of the undergraduate halls of

Some residents of the quad have
expressed interest in finding those respon-
sible for the second defacement, which
dismayed many students. If identifica-
tions can be made in either case, the
matter will be tured over to the Swalden
Judicial Committee for appropriate
action.
