New Telescope
For Student Use
A Boller and Chivens telescope with a
16-inch reflector mirror has been installed
on the roof of the Earth Science Building.
It will be used for classes in astronomy.
The telescope, primarily a photographic
instrument, stands about
height and is three-feet square. Its weight
is about 3500 pounds and the telescope
tube is five feet in length.
Currently a group of students is
involved in the construction of a photo-
electric photometer which is used to
study the magnitudes of stars in certain
colors. Such studies reveal the differences
in stellar magnitudes and accent the dif-
ferences among stars.
Both undergraduate and graduate stu-
dents will use the telescope. It will be par-
ticularly useful for the survey course in
astronomy and for the undergraduate
research course. Astronomy majors take a
sequence of five courses for seniors and
three of them will
six feet in
involve use of the tele-
scope and the photoelectric photometer.
Karl Scharl, security
director, coordinated the project of
installing the telescope. Donald C.
Schmalberger, of the Department of
Astronomy and Space Science, will be
manager of the facility and scheduling of
its use will be under his direction.
Director’s Death
President
now assistant
Benezet commented as
follows upon learning of the death of
Allen D. Bishop, a member of the board
of directors of State University of New
York at Albany Foundation, Inc.: “The
State University at Albany joins the Capi-
tal District community in sadness at the
passing of Mr. Allen D. Bishop. We share
the sense of loss of a man who gave so
much of himself to community causes.
“Allen Bishop was an active member of
the Board of Directors of the SUNYA
Foundation which works to strengthen
communications between the public
service of the University Center and the
surrounding community. He was a keen
observer of the local scene and a source
of help in many of our projects. We shall
miss hirn as a guide and friend.”
Pay Raise Interest
Object of SPA Suit
The Senate Professional Association has
filed suit to recover some $275,000 in
back interest due SUNY professionals, ac-
cording to a SPA bulletin. The money is
sought as redress for the 10-month delay
in payment of the unit’s 1971-72 six per-
cent salary increase.
The class action grievance, dated May
22, was filed directly with the Chancel-
lor’s Office in accordance with Article
VIII of the SPA-State Agreement. If
necessary, the grievance may be taken to
the Office of Employee Relations and ar-
bitration. SPA grievance coordinator
Annalee Ziman is processing the case for
the association.
Margaret Warren
Pinkerton Prof
Is Criminologist
Margaret Q. Warren, of Sacramento,
Calif., who most recently has been affili-
ated with the California Youth Author-
ity, will become the Robert A. Pinkerton
Visiting Professor in Criminal Justice for
1972-73. She is considered to be one of
the outstanding criminologists in the
United States.
Dr. Warren’s Interpersonal Maturity
Level Classification System now is used
throughout the California Correctional
System. The psychologist holds degrees
from Western Reserve University and
from the University of California, Berke-
ley, where she received a Master of Arts
in psychology and a Doctor of Philos-
ophy in clinical psychology
For five years Dr. Warren served as pro-
gram director of the Center for Training
in Differential Treatment, sponsored by
the American Justice Institute and the
National Institute of Mental Health. Prior
to that time she was principal investigator
for the Community Treatment Project
sponsored by the California Youth
Authority and the National Institute of
Mental Health.
As Pinkerton Professor in the School of
Criminal Justice, Dr. Warren will teach an
advanced seminar and serve as a resource
person in seminars taught by other fac-
ulty members. The position was made
possible by a three-year grant of
$150,000 from the Pinkerton Foundation
in New York.
ROBI
Mohawk Tower To House
Social Science Disciplines
The departments of economics, sociol-
ogy, and foundations of education will
move their offices into the Mohawk
Tower on Indian Quad in mid-August, re-
lieving the pressures of overcrowding in
the Social Sciences and Education build-
ings. They will occupy the first of some
220 offices that will be available when
rewiring and installation of new lighting is
completed.
The tower was designed originally as a
student residence, but the number of stu-
dents living on campus has declined and
the space will not be needed. The univer-
sity is renting the tower from the New
York State Dormitory Authority.
The tower will have a social science
orientation when it is fully occupied. The
School of Criminal Justice is slated to
move from its space in the library base-
ment in January, and the Graduate
School of Public Affairs and the School
of Social Welfare will move from Draper
next summer.
No classes will be held in the tower, al-
though there will be about ten rooms
which could be used for graduate semin-
ars. In addition, the lounge areas on the
top floor will be available for department
meetings, seminars, and special programs.
Departments currently are discussing the
possibilities of making joint use of faculty
and space for research.
Another move in mid-August will see
the College of General Studies go from
the Administration Building to the first
floor of Draper Hall. An increasing num-
ber of general studies classes will be held
in Draper, as the building is more acces-
sible to the part-time student community
the college serves. The graduate admis-
sions office of the College of Arts and
Sciences will move from the Social
Sciences Building to space vacated by
general studies.
When the two graduate schools move
from Draper next summer, that space will
be assumed for classes and offices of the
new James E. Allen, Jr., Collegiate
Center, which will have all its facilities in
Brubacher Hall on Alumni Quad this
year. Special clinics and centers now in
Husted and Richardson halls will remain
there.
Films, Concerts,
Lectures on Tap
Folksingers Hector and John Simson,

night beginning at 9 in the Campus
Center Ballroom as part of the

Tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. in CC 370, at

son, vice chairman of the Department of
Music, will talk about the music program
here and the summer opera performances.
Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the Mohawk
Campus John Henry, of the Educational
Communications Center, will have an
exhibition and demonstration of color
photography. In the evening the film,
“Boys in the Band”, will be shown in LC
7 at 6:30 and 9, a change in time.

Group Sessions
For Counselors
Underway here this month is a collo-
quium series in group development plan-
ned as an aid in inaugurating the new
sequence of group development - group
counseling courses and as a means of pro-
viding students in the Department of
Counseling and Personnel Services with

assistant professor of education and direc-
tor of the Child Study Center at SUC
New Paltz, led a demonstration-

Humanistic Education staff at the Univer-
sity of Massachusetts.
Other meetings in the series will include
a marathon group experience, group
development film festival, group dynam-
ics and counseling, and group work in real
life.
Student Foot Patrols
Protect Conferences
In his monthly report for June, James
R. Williams, director of security,
describes the special coverage in the form
of radio-equipped student patrols for two
conferences. The International Children’s
Theatre Conference was provided with a
24-hour foot patrol in the State Quad-
rangle where the delegates were housed
and the American Association of Physics
Teachers was loaned portable radios in
order that two physics graduate assistants
could patrol their exhibit area from 5
p.m, to 8 a.m.
Twenty crimes were reported on
campus during the month, substantially
less than the 73 reported in May. The
reported value of property stolen was
$1,544,
Categories of crimes were burglary, 2;
grand larceny, 1; petit larceny, 13; crim-
inal mischief, 2; public lewdness, 1; and
criminal trespass, 1. In general, service
calls declined slightly during June, reflect-
ing the decline in population.
