French name, is devoted to the develop-
ment of theatre for young people
throughout the world. The global organi-
zation attempts to unite professional and
non-professional drama groups in pro-

periences, and encourages national and in-
ternational societies to further work in
children’s theatre. Founded in May 1964,
ASSITEJ presently sponsors programs in
19 countries and will soon expand to a
total membership of 32 nations.

Joint FSA Meeting Names
New Manager
Partial election of officers, approval
of a new bookstore manager’s appoint-
ment, action to reduce food service
losses, and sale of Faculty-Student As-
sociation real estate highlighted a joint
meeting of the Board of Directors and the
Membership Board of FSA held last Mon-
day in AD 253, A move to postpone the
meeting because sufficient notice had not
been given to the university community
was defeated.
President Benezet was elected chair-
man of the board and John Hartley
elected president of FSA, according to
by-law provisions. Election Of the re-
maining officers on the slate was post-
poned pending the report of a nominating
committee representing constituent
groups of the association. The board ap-
proved the appointment of Arnold Colon
as bookstore manager. Mr. Colon is cur-
rently manager of the bookstores at Al-
legheny Community College, a three-
campus complex near Pittsburgh with a
bookstore at each location. He was the
unanimous choice of the Bookstore Ad-
visory Committee and is expected to
begin duties here early in January.
Following long, heated discussion,
the board voted to accept three of six
proposals from food service management
designed to reduce the losses being ex-
perienced in that operation, Approved
were proposals to close the Colonial Quad
cash lunch line since it was reported to
have lost $622 in October; close the
Brubacher Snack Bar, which experienced
for Bookstore
an $11,000 deficit in fiscal 1971, and re-
place it with a vending operation; and
continue with the special functions opera-
tion which earned $830 in October.
A special ad hoc committee, con-
sisting of graduate student Carol Hughes,
Professor Walter Balk, and Vice President
Hartley, was appointed to review the fi-
nancial report provided, as well as the re-
maining proposals. They included recom-
mendations to close the Patroon Room
dinner service and expand its lunch ca-
pacity, continue the Campus Center Cafe-
teria and Snack Bar, and continue
Brubacher and Husted cafeterias, pending
review at the end of the fiscal year. The
committee is to report at the next
meeting.
It was also announced that contract
food prices would not be increased next
semester.
In other action, the board approved
sale of four houses to members of the
faculty or staff. The homes, located at 52
and 56 Fuller Road, 4 Loughlin Street,
and 36 Parkwood Street were sold for
$111,250. Intended purchasers are Martin
Deitsch, James Doellefeld, Lloyd Hebert,
and Alberto Carlos.

of Directors and Membership Board will
be held on Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. in CC 375.

tuent members will be held this Friday at

tion will be taken during that meeting.

Interdepartmental Program |
In Peace Studies Offered
Sixteen courses which may be ap-
plied toward an interdepartmental second
field program in peace studies, will be of-
fered in the spring semester. The inter-
departmental program studies problems
of war and peace, social change, and con-
flict resolution. Its aim is to explore prac-
tical solutions to such problems on the
international, national, and local levels. It
is based on the premise that a meaningful
analysis of the issues of war and conflict
can best be achieved through a synthesis
of insights and data from various fields of
knowledge.
In addition to relevant courses in
various departments, the new peace
studies program includes some inter-
Subcommittee
Studies Tenure
Recommendations and answers to
questions affecting the awarding of
tenure and promotions to faculty are
being sought by a joint subcommittee of
the Council on Promotions and Con-
tinuing Appointments and the Edu-
cational Policies Council. The subcom-
mittee has been formed to recommend
the criteria to be used in considering pro-
motions and continuing appointments.
Among questions to be answered are:
Should the ratio of those in the pertinent
program that are tenured to those that
are non-tenured be considered? Should
the ratio of professors to lower ranks be
considered? Should the priorities of the
departmental and university programs be
considered? If such matters are to be con-
sidered, at what level and by whom
should they be considered?
Members of the university com-
munity wishing to make suggestions on
these questions are asked to contact any
member of the subcommittee. They are
Winifred Bell, James Corbett, Helen
Horowitz, Jon Jacklet, Louis Jordan, J.
Richard McNally, Charles Petitjean, and
Gordon Thompson.

ject work and independent study with the

demic advisors. A student’s major depart-
ment determines whether a program will
satisfy the second field requirement. Fur-
ther information is available from the
program’s coordinator, Donald Birn, SS
385.

ond field may select an area of concen-
tration in either international relations or
conflict resolution. Courses offered in the

Final football statistics point up the
4-4 Danes’ reliance on their rushing at-
tack. Nearly 75% of the team’s total of-
fense came on the ground. Carvin Payne
led in yards gained, 434, followed by
Bernie Boggs, 418, and Lonnie Davis,
338. Boggs’ 6.0 yards per carry was best.
Quarterback Bill Flanagan ran the
triple-option Wishbone T offense well,
but completed just 26 of 79 passes
(32.9%) for 367 yards and three touch-
downs. Eddie Williams was the leading
receiver with 358 yards and four TD’s on
12 receptions.
Boggs led the scoring with 42 points
on six TD’s and six PAT’s.
The defense was Albany’s forte at
the season’s end, permitting just 10
points the last three games and posting its
first shutout, 28-0, in the finale. On the
year, the Danes averaged 20.5 points a
game, while holding the opposition to
15.6. The team will lose just one de-
fensive starter through graduation and
