Council To Question Lampert;
Urges Campus Executive Body
Among significant actions taken by
Central Council at its Dec. 14 meeting
were passage of bills to investigate Stu-
dent Association President Michael
Lampert’s conduct on Bill 7273-46; to
establish a joint committee on the future
of the Albany Student Press; and to pro-
pose changes in the university governance
structure.
Bill 7273-46 was passed by Central
Council over Mr. Lampert’s veto in
October 1972. The measure gave to the
Chairman and Vice Chairman of Central
Council keys to certain rooms and access
to various facilities in the Campus Center
that are used by the President and Vice
President of Student Association.
According to the new bill, Mr.
Lampert has not yet carried out the origi-
nal bill’s provisions. Therefore, Central
Council has established an ad hoc com-
mittee to investigate his conduct; deter-
mine if he is guilty of neglect, non-
feasance, misfeasance, or malfeasance of
duty; and, if so, to recommend possible
action, such as impeachment, recall,
censure, or court action.
Acting Dean Named
Paul A. Saimond has been named act-
ing dean of the College of General Studies
to serve until such time as a permanent
dean is appointed. He succeeds acting
dean Paul F. Wheeler who is on sabbatical
leave.
Mr. Saimond will continue in his reg-
ular post as associate dean of graduate
studies and interim director of late after-
noon, evening, Saturday, and summer ses-
sions. Currently 125 courses are offered
in the College of General Studies late
afternoon and evening schedule.
In other administrative action, Morris
Berger has been reappointed chairman of
the Foundations of Education Depart-
ment.
The joint committee on the ASP’s
future was instructed to review the possi-
bilities of the student newspaper’s becom-
ing independent, or at least more inde-
pendent, of Student Association monies
and control.
In regard to university governance,
Central Council urged the University Sen-
ate and the administration to consult
with Central Council on all policies
affecting students and to establish an
Executive Council that will have final ad-
visory voice on all university policies of
“major importance.” The Executive
Council would consist of four faculty
members; four students; one each profes-
sional staff, service staff, and vice presi-
dent; and the President as an ex officio,
non-voting member.
400 New Undergraduates
Begin Their Studies Today
Between 380 and 400 new under-
graduate students are expected to be on
campus for the new semester, according
to Rodney A. Hart, director of admis-
sions. He indicated that the goal has been
to register as many new undergraduates as
possible, using the fall admission quality
thresholds as criteria.
In the new group will be from 290 to
300 transfer students, about 50 freshmen,
and another 50 students from other cam-
puses coming here to study for the semes-
ter. Among the new freshmen will be 10
Educational Opportunities Program stu-
dents.
Mr. Hart said that during the last
couple of years SUNY A’s quota had been
only 15 freshmen for the spring semester
which led to an unusually high cutoff and
extreme competition. This year SUNYA
is able to accommodate more freshmen
because of the larger quota established by
the administrative cabinet. The admis-
sions director also expressed pleasure that
many more transfer students, some of
whom had to be turned away in the fall,
could be accommodated.
The fall enrollment of 13,571 was
less than expected, apparently primarily
because of financial reasons. They
included increase in tuition, cuts in gradu-
ate student stipend level, no increased
number of graduate stipends, late notifi-
cation by Central Office of additional
quota of undergraduate students, late
determination of tuition which delayed
prediction of costs, and confusion in level
of federal funding support.
The graduate enrollment dropped
from 4,702 in the fall of 1971 to 4,495 in
the fall of 1972. The lateness of federal
decisions on financial aid, which were in
flux until Aug. 19, was a large factor, for
by then many students had decided not
to attend. Also contributing to the lower
graduate student enrollment were ceilings
established in several programs.
Traffic Regulations Changed
In an effort to improve safety and
move traffic in a more sensible manner,
the New York State Department of
Transportation has ordered several
changes in traffic regulations on campus.
Among the major changes, according to
Karl W. Scharl, assistant director of
security, are the following:
1. Perimeter Road is designated a
primary road and, as a result, all roads
leading into (including parking lots and
service roads) will have STOP or YIELD
signs posted. Previously, at some intersec-
tions, Perimeter Road traffic had to yield.
2. The speed limit on Perimeter
Road is 30 mph; all other campus areas
have a 15 mph limit.
3. Parking on all campus roads is
prohibited, with the exception of part of
the traffic circle on the western side of
campus (Administration Circle), where
parking is permitted in the right hand
lane, as posted. The circle remains a one-
way road, with traffic travelling counter-
clockwise.
4. Also posted as one-way roads are
campus entrances on both the Western
and Washington Avenue sides of campus
(always keep to the right), and the small
access road in front of the Physical Edu-
cation Building, with traffic flowing
counter-clockwise.
“We have three dangerous inter-
sections during this changeover,” Mr.
Scharl notes. “They are just north of the
(Administration) traffic circle, the
western-most entrance at Washington
Avenue into Perimeter Road, and the
southwest exit from Perimeter Road past
the commissary parking lot.”
He urges that drivers keep in mind
the new traffic patterns and be courteous
to those not yet aware of them. In an
effort to minimize problems accompany-
ing the changes, particularly regarding
item 1 above, extraneous YIELD signs
will remain in place for several weeks.
Dwight C. Smith, director of institu-
tional research, had pointed out that
recent experience shows that about 300
seniors complete their degrees at the end
of the fall semester, thus opening up
room for additional new students during
the spring semester. He added that the
increase in January admissions is likely to
become a standard enrollment pattern at
SUNYA.
DWARF MONSTER RIDING A WHEEL
is but one of the Lihuros Civilization art
objects.
Fictional Culture
Objects Displayed
The Art Gallery starting today is
offering a remarkable exhibition experi-
ence, the “discovery” of a previously
unknown civilization, “Ihuros.” All of
the fragmentary remnants of the
“Lihuroscian cutlture” — its utilitarian
and ritual objects, its scientific instru-
ments, its architectural ruins — are in fact
the conception of a single contemporary
artist, Norman Daly, professor of painting
and sculpture at Cornell University.
The exhibition, to be on view
through Mar. 11, consists of more than
100 objects. Larger dramatic pieces
include temple doors, huge fragments of
frescoes, and a full-scale, spectacular
temple wall, decorated in bas-relief. There
also will be taped sound.
Organizer of the exhibition is the
Andrew Dickson White Museum of Art at
Cornell.
Wild Weekend
Wild Wild Weekend II gets underway
here Thursday night when a ski trip is
planned. Activities are being coordinated
by the Special Events Board and under
the co-chairmanship of Dave Seligmann
and Pam Severi.
Fun fare includes outdoor goodies
Friday at the Campus Center; beer blast
at Colonial Quad; “Bottle Hill” concert,
films, and midnight cartoon festival; to-
bogganing at Mohawk Campus; pajama
party mixer; bowling; and coffee house.
Council Adopts Guidelines
For Graduate Degree Credit
In order to comply with the regula-
tions of the Commissioner of Education
which prohibit applying undergraduate
course credit toward graduate degree pro-
grams, the Graduate Academic Council
has devised guidelines and policy for the
curricular revisions required on this cam-
pus. (A complete statement of guidelines
and policy is available from the Office of
Graduate Studies, deans, or department
chairmen.)
In brief, each graduate student must
complete required credit hours for the
degree only through successful comple-
tion of courses designed for graduate stu-
dents. Any courses at the undergraduate
level deemed necessary or desirable must
be completed in addition to the pro-
gram’s graduate courses. (See policy
below which provides for exceptions.)
Departments are encouraged to examine
closely their graduate and undergraduate
offerings, as well as to share resources
Library Rules
Being Studied
Student complaints against library
regulations pertaining to loans and lost
book fees was the major topic at the Aca-
demic Services Council meeting in
December. This agenda item was in
response to a resolution passed by the
Central Council of Student Association.
Students considered present rules unfair
to them because their loans were subject
to two-week renewals while faculty could
retain books for the whole semester.
They also considered the $15 minimum
charge for any lost book— regardless of
cost—unjust and felt that a $5 processing
fee needed explanation.
Because the faculty have an in-depth
need for books, the library felt their
longer borrowing time was justifiable.
Also, recall made it possible for students
to obtain books charged to faculty.
Although fines and regulations could be
enforced with students, it was agreed that
there was at present no method of
enforcement for faculty. The library has
modified its policy somewhat by allowing
renewals to be arranged by phone and by
accepting copies of missing books in lieu
of $10 payment.
After lengthy discussion, a motion
was approved that the council ask the Di-
rector of Libraries to rewrite the lost-
book section of the library regulations,
and that the policy be approved by the
Senate. The council also urged that the
library adopt as soon as possible a policy
that would withdraw charge-out privileges
from faculty members for abuses.
The council also heard complaints
about the periodicals room—missing
issues, disarray, lack of security—and
were told that these conditions exist
because of staff shortages and problems
of control. Future plans call for a closed-
shelf periodicals section on the first floor.
Faculty Notes
DONALD “FAVREAU, general. studies,
served as keynote speaker at the Fourth
Annual Meeting of the Eastern Associa-
tion of College Auxiliary Services at
Cooperstown, New York. His topic was
“Management by Objective.”
JEROME LIEBMAN, audiology and
speech pathology, will present a paper
“Marketing Considerations for Amplifica-
tion Devices” at the Third International
Oticongress in Copenhagen, Denmark.
with each other.
The council approved the following
procedure to provide for extraordinary
exceptions in applying a 300- or 400-level
undergraduate course toward a graduate
degree program:
Presently, upper division (300- or
400-level) undergraduate courses may no
longer be taken as part of a student’s pro-
gram for graduate credit and applied to
the graduate degree requirements.
However, exceptional circumstances
may develop where it is necessary or
extremely desirable that a specific upper-
division, undergraduate course be
approved as part of a graduate program
on an individual basis. In order to con-
front extraordinary situations, graduate
students and faculty are advised of the
following petition process to permit an
appropriate undergraduate course at the
300- and 400-level to be taken and
applied to an individual’s graduate pro-
gram.
If a graduate student and his adviser
agree that a specific 300- or 400-level
course should be taken as part of the
graduate degree program, the student
should immediately appeal to the Dean of
Graduate Studies for an exception to Sec-
tion 52.2(e) of the State Education Com-
missioner’s Regulations. This appeal is
initiated by completing the form,
“Request for Prior Approval of a 300- or
400-Level Course in a Graduate Pro-
gram,” and submitting it with the
adviser’s signature to the Dean of Grad-
uate Studies for review and action. The
dean’s approval must be obtained prior to
registering for a 300- or 400-level course.
The appeal procedure is effective Feb. 1,
1973.
The policies, guidelines, and proce-
dures referred to above will be reported
by the council to the Senate for its
approval on Jan. 22.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL DECISIONS COMMISSION has had a changing of the
guard, or a partial one anyway. Shown at the December meeting are Jon Scott,
newly-elected co-chairperson; Amy Borgman, continuing co-chairperson; and Edward
Cowley, former co-chairperson. The commission, which has stepped up its activities,
has issued a statement on the Campus Pond, a summary of which will be published
soon in the Tower Tribune.
Continued Abuse Jeopardizes
Campus Telephone Services
Telephone service on campus is cur-
rently under study in two areas: pay
phone service around the campus and
administrative use of the New York State
tie line network.
Vandalism to pay phones in some
areas of the campus has resulted in the
phones being disconnected in those areas.
The university is working with the tele-
phone company to determine locations
for the pay phones where they will be
safer from vandalism and where they will
be used often enough to justify their
presence.
Too much use is the problem with
SUNYA’s affiliation with the NYS tie line
network. The tie line allows calls to be
made to virtually any point in the state
but, effective Oct. 2, 1972, toll charges
were instituted from major communica-
tions centers in the network to locations
in surrounding areas. Under the old tie
line system there had been no toll
charges, but only major areas of the state
could be called.
Since October, the university has re-
corded a high cost and heavy volume of
local toll calls on the tie line, especially
after normal working hours. Now the
state’s Office of General Services is con-
ducting an extensive examination of calls
Council Examines Bill Dates,
Endorses Ambulance Service
In October the Student Affairs Coun-
cil examined the issues involved with Sen-
ate Bill (197273-02) “Due Dates of Stu-
dents’ Bills,” which had been referred to
them for implementation. The Senate was
concerned with such problems as ensuring
sufficient time between the mailing date
and the due date of a bill, and the dates
Regents award notices are mailed. Since
the council felt it was not fully aware of
all the alternatives and implications of the
bill, it was referred to the Financial Aids
Committee, a standing committee of the
council, for further study.
At the Student Affairs Council meet-
ing on Dec. 11, the council heard discus-
sions, pro and con, on the proposed stu-
dent Volunteer Ambulance Service. SAC
then endorsed the concept “of an on-
campus, student-operated, volunteer
‘ambulance’ service with the stipulation
that the emphasis will be on horizontal
transportation on a routine service basis
to students, faculty, staff and visitors to
the university. It is also stipulated that
this volunteer service will provide routine
upright transportation service for stu-
dents and others who are referred by
physicians of the SUNYA Student Health
Service to local hospitals, clinics, consult-
ative specialists, and other health care
facilities and personnel.” The proposal
will now be submitted to the University
Council for action.
The council plans to discuss at length
the judicial proposal (a plan for an all-
university judiciary system which was
proposed last year and has been under
consideration and study since then) at a
special meeting today and, if necessary, at
the regularly scheduled meeting on Jan.
29.
made on the tie line network to deter-
mine whether frequently called numbers
are of an official business nature. If calls
can be identified as non-official, the call-
ing party will be billed personally.
Staff members have been asked to
cooperate in limiting calls on the tie line
system to official university business.
Should the heavy volume of non-official
toll calls continue, SUNYA could be
removed from the tie line network.
Course Changes
For Teachers
Although much of the Undergrad-
uate Academic Council’s work during the
fall semester was devoted to undergradu-
ate grading, action was taken on several
other issues.
The professional sequence in the
undergraduate teacher program has been
revised to include: a course identified
with the teacher-learning process (3 cr.), a
course identified with the study of school
and society (3), the teaching of a second-
ary school subject (3), student teaching in
subject (9), professional elective (3). This
revised sequence will become effective for
the Class of ’74. The revised sequence will
allow for more individualized programs
for the students and more flexibility for
the faculty and departments in utilizing
staff talents.
The Ad Hoc Committee on Sug-
gested University Scholars Programs
unanimously recommended to the Under-
graduate Academic Council that there is
no clear need for establishing a University
Scholars program, a recommendation
which UAC upheld. The committee felt
that there were sufficient programs of
comparable benefit and freedom now
available to students without the estab-
lishment of a new program. They cited
the new Talent Admissions Program, the
freedom from university requirements
under CURE, expanded possibilities for
independent study and the newly imple-
mented inter-disciplinary major in the
College of Arts and Sciences.
The committee and council
approved, however, the further develop-
ment of departmental programs, as in the
English department, for “university
scholars” in specialized fields.

Summer School
Board Required
Action taken at the Dec. 22 meeting
of the University Council will affect the
lives of summer school residents this year.
Approved was a proposal from the Board
of Directors of the Faculty Student Asso-
ciation recommending a mandatory sum-
mer board plan. The council stipulated
the plan should include provision to take
evening meals at the Mohawk Campus,
among other options.
In other action the council approved
a resolution from the College of Arts and
Sciences recommending the naming of
the Humanities Building for Edith O.
Wallace. Dr. Wallace was a graduate of
this institution and served on the faculty
from 1918 to 1965. During that period
she held among other positions that of
chairman of the Classics Department and
later first chairman of the Humanities Di-
vision. Ceremonies will be held during
Alumni Weekend in May.
Also scheduled to be honored is Pro-
fessor Martha Egelston who is retiring as
the university’s senior professor. A resolu-
tion submitted by a committee from the
Social Science Division in the College of
Arts and Sciences was incorporated into
the minutes of the council and will be
prepared for presentation later this
spring.
Officer Stricken
Security Officer James Rogers suf-
fered a fatal heart attack on campus on
Dec. 27. He was stricken while position-
ing the flag at half-mast in tribute to the
late President Truman.
James R. Williams, director of secu-
rity, in announcing Mr. Roger’s death,
said he was “a very fine and popular offi-
cer, a veteran peace officer with seven
years of service with this department.”
Earlier he had served as an Albany police
officer for 14 years.
“Troch,” who leads the team in scor-
ing with 17.1 ppg, scored 25 against Siena
and 16 against Union. Reggie Smith had
23 against Siena, while Rossi totaled 17
against the Indians and had several key
baskets in the Union contest.
Werner Kolln, who missed the first
five games while recovering from mono-

Residence Staffers
To Pay for Meals
Proposals to increase revenue from
food services highlighted the Dec. 15
meeting of the Faculty Student Associ-
ation Board of Directors.
Approved were recommendations to
charge all residence directors and other
personnel now receiving meals as part of
their salary. The provision takes effect in
the fall.
Also approved and forwarded to the
University Council was a proposal recom-
mending a mandatory board plan for
summer residents. No action was taken
on a proposal to reduce food service dur-
ing commencement week. It was agreed
to continue the present arrangement for
infirmary meals.
The board received an informal
report on the progress of discussions with
two firms interested in presenting pro-
posals for operating the University Book-
store on a franchise.
