Resident Assistant Money Unavailable
“There is no solution for the Resi-
dent Assistant compensation in the
1972-73 fiscal year. Several possibilities
are being explored for the 1973-74 aca-
demic year; however, decisions will not
be made until information becomes avail-
able regarding action by the Legislature—
probably sometime after April 1, 1973.”
Dean for Student Affairs Neil Brown
so described the present state of affairs
which has been a cause of major concern
to many resident assistants who have
Lectures Slated
On Many Topics
Several lectures of unusual interest
are planned on campus. This evening at 8
David L. Thompson, of the University of
Georgia, will lecture under the sponsor-
ship of the Department of Classics.
Professor Thompson will discuss “The
Artists of the Mummy Portraits” in Rm
354 of the Humanities Building.
Scott Adams, senior staff scientist of
the Biological Sciences Communications
Project at the Medical Center of George
Washington University, will speak at a
public program of the School of Library
and Information Science tomorrow
evening at 7:30 in LC 4. His subject will
by “UNISIST.”
Next Monday morning at 11:10 in
LC 25 Stefan Temesvary, professor of
astronomy and space science, will give a
lecture in honor of the 500th anniversary
of the birth of Copernicus. All interested
students and faculty are invited to attend.
Bruce Fraser, a transformational
linguist trained by Noam Chomsky, will
discuss “The Scope of Transformational
Linguistics” next Monday evening at 8 in
HU 354. The lecture is sponsored by the
Office of the Associate Dean of Humani-
ties. Currently an associate professor in
the School of Education, Boston Univer-
sity, Mr. Fraser is working on psycho-
linguistics problems with Paul Menyuk.
His talk is intended for those who are not
specialists in linguistics.
been active in attempts to gain compensa-
tion for their services beyond the present
room provision. At an earlier time, board
and tuition waivers were made available
but policy decisions by the Faculty-
Student Association and SUNY Central
Office effected changes for the 1972-73
year. Appeals were fruitless.
Resident assistants, estimated as a
majority, petitioned the Office of
Residences for retroactive board for the
1972-73 year and for board compensa-
tion for next year’s assistants. Remunera-
tion also was sought to be on a par with
that received by assistants at some other
SUNY campuses.
While facts about the “bare cup-
board” were being gathered and dis-
cussed, a number of resident assistants
took part in what was described as a “job
action,” declining to perform their
normal duties. Some stressed that the
decision to dramatize the situation was
made on behalf of the interests of future
assistants.
Efforts to alleviate the plight of the
RA’s have administrative support. Said
Dean Brown, “The Resident Assistant
performs a valuable service-a service
deserving more compensation than mere-
ly room waiver. Although we took action
in the 1972-73 budget request, our
proposal for Temporary Service money
which would have provided some relief in
this measure was denied.”

Concerts Planned
Salvatore Martirano, professor of
music at the University of Illinois at
Urbana, will be heard in concert Friday
beginning at 8:30 in the Laboratory
Theatre of the Performing Arts Center in
a program sponsored by the Music
Council. Tickets are $3, $2, and $1.
The electronic concert features the
“Sal-Mar Construction.” A unique feature
of the instrument allows the
composer-performer to manually control
circuits which interact with automatic
circuits.
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ALBANY
Senate Approves Report
Calling for Open Parking
University Senate accepted without
further debate Monday a report from the
Joint Student Affairs Council—University
Community Council Committee on
Parking. The report recommends open
parking in all uptown campus lots, except
Lots 3 and 4 (the administration and
medical lots). If ultimately adopted, the
recommendation would end “segrega-
tion” of lots by designated areas for
faculty-staff, commuting students, and
resident students. All parking would be
on a first-come, first-served basis.
Copies of the report will be sent to
President Benezet and Vice President for
Management and Planning John W. Hart-
ley. University Council has responsibility
for parking policy.
Most other business brought before
randum about the resident assistant staff
petitions was distributed from Charles G.
Fisher, director of residences, in which he
described the “rather complex situtation”
and stated the office’s position including
the hope that “there is no question re-
garding the sincerity of the commitment
which the Office of Residences feels to
the Resident Assistant Program.”
Resident assistants involved in the
job action may discuss the ramifications
with their residence hall director and
quadrangle coordinator. After the indi-
vidual conferences, the director, the co-
ordinator, and Dr. Fisher will determine
possible future steps.
One RA, Glenn Valle, expressed dis-
appointment with the notice, “mainly
because it leaves little room open for
negotiation.”
the Senate was either defeated or de-
ferred. The only bill which was passed
dealt with eligibility and procedures for
granting emeritus status, and even that
topic was not fully resolved. Guidelines
for granting emeritus status, the Council
on Promotions and Continuing Appoint-
ments for revision.
Two student senators introduced a
measure to halt what they feel are un-
necessary “inspections, searches or raids”
of students’ dormitory rooms by Resi-
dence Office staff. The bill, which was
referred to Student Affairs Council,
would authorize inspections only when
reasonable cause exists to believe that a
specific illegal item is in the room, when
at least one student is present at the
search, and when the student is notified
immediately before entrance by the
searching authorities.
After referring the bill to council,
Senate defeated a measure that would
have requested the Residence Office to
limit uninvited presence in students’
rooms to inspections for illegal or hazar-
dous apparatus, pending a report from
Student Affairs Council. It was felt that
after referring the original bill for further
study, Senate would be ill-advised to take
any interim action on the subject.
Also defeated was a bill urging Presi-
dent Benezet to suspend classes the
Monday after Easter and the last two
days of Passover.
Senate returned to the Undergradu-
ate Academic Council a memorandum
from that council on proposed revisions
and clarifications to the undergraduate
grading policy passed earlier this year.
Senate felt the memorandum was unclear
and should be submitted as an amend-
ment.
Faculty Hear President Report
On Campus Growth, Change
Tradition, change, location,
membership—all are components of a
four-way look at SUNYA’s future which
President Benezet pondered with faculty
members at an information hour last
Tuesday. Under discussion were
responsibilities of the university to
strengthen itself as a University Center of
higher learning in academic and
professional areas; of a large center of
learning to respond to change in the
dimensions and needs of post-secondary
learning in 1973-80; of a University
Center in the Capital District; and of
SUNYA as an integral member of SUNY
with its statewide and regional
commitments.
This year’s annual average enrollment
was budgeted at 11,929 and, under
SUNY guidelines, the comparable figure
for 1980 would be 14,000. The
distribution of the latter total is the
beginning of an answer to SUNYA’s
future.
The Long Range Planning Task Force
assumes growth across the campus with
graduate enrollment and upper division
enrollment growing a little more than
that of the lower division. For planning
purposes, a large portion of the
undergraduate growth will be in the Allen
Collegiate Center and in a
not-yet-adopted degree program in
continuing studies.
Questions raised at the meeting
concerned the SUNY posture toward
tenure review, suggested merger of
computer science and mathematics, and
possible “stagnation.” The administration
invites university response about
SUNYA’s future.
On Mar. 15 the first draft of the
campus “master plan” is to be delivered
to the SUNY Central Office. Chaired by
Dwight Smith, director of institutional
research, the Long Range Planning Task
Force has been working for almost a year
developing enrollment projections to
1980. A chart of the projections, shown
at the meeting, may be seen at the Office
of Institutional Research, AD 301.
Alumni Association Begins
Annual Fund-Raising Effort
SUNYA’s Alumni Association has
begun an annual fund-raising campaign
designed to provide money for projects
and uses that would not be funded
through state monies. The project that
has been designated as the goal for the
1973 Alumni Annual Fund is the con-
struction of an Alumni House-Conference
Center on the campus.
The proposed center would provide
facilities for Alumni Association offices,
alumni programs and activities, and uni-
versity conferences and workshops.
“There is a critical need on the
campus for more conference and hos-
pitality facilities beyond those in the
overcrowded Campus Center,” states a
report to the association’s Board of Direc-
tors by the Annual Fund Steering Com-
mittee. “An additional facility having a
warmer and less hectic atmosphere would
allow the university to expand its com-
munity and public service activities.”
In addition, the committee felt that
the Alumni House-Conference Center
would offer a “focus for alumni activity
on campus” and provide a “highly visible
and valued symbol of alumni involvement
in the university.”
Wurzburg Aid
Three scholarships are being offered
by the University of Wurzburg to partici-
pants in the SUNY-Wurzburg Program
who have demonstrated outstanding aca-
demic achievement. Each scholarship will
provide 500 DM’s a month.
Students applying for the program
should indicate if they would like to be
considered for one of the scholarships.
Although the SUNY selection committee
recommends students for the scholar-
ships, the final decision will be made by
the University of Wurzburg Committee.
In a supporting letter to President
Benezet, SUNY Chancellor Ernest L.
Boyer offered the cooperation of his staff
in working out the details of the Alumni
House-Conference Center and stated that
he found the project “most encouraging
as a symbol of the growing stature of the
alumni program.”
Alumni giving at Albany dates back
to a fund to build a memorial window at
the Normal School on Willett Street in
1892. In the late 1920’s and 30’s, the
alumni raised well over $300,000 for the
building of Pierce and Sayles halls on
Alumni Quad. Funds gained from their
sale in 1965 now provide more than
$30,000 yearly for student scholarships.
The most recent major alumni fund
effort for the university raised enough
money to purchase the carillon bells
which are housed in the central tower on
campus.
Although individual fund-raising ef-
forts have been very successful in the
past, an annual alumni giving program is
new to Albany’s alumni. According to
David W. Jenks, director of alumni af-
fairs, however, annual alumni giving is an
accepted, successful concept elsewhere.
Said Mr. Jenks, “Our committee has
found that almost all state universities
and colleges with national reputations
have succeeded with their alumni giving
programs. In fact, the alumni giving at
these institutions has been the measure of
their over all effort to attract private
financial support.
“*Most foundations, corporations,
and non-alumni individuals base their
decisions to give money to a university on
the degree of existing financial support,”
he continued. “Alumni and private sup-
port provide a ‘margin of excellence’ that
can make the difference between good
and outstanding universities.”
PROFESSOR MARVIN J. PRYOR, who
retired last month, will be honored
Thursday afternoon at a reception from
2:30 to 4:30 in the lounge of the Physics
Building. All are invited to attend.
Council Affirms
Parking Report
The Student Affairs Council at the
Jan. 29 meeting endorsed the report of
the joint parking committee to continue
studying the issues of special and medical
permits and the potential desegregation
of lots 3 and 4. The council also asked
that their recommendations be reported
to the Senate.
Since many members of the council
are not familiar with the judicial proposal
(an all-university judicial system sug-
gested over a year ago), an ad hoc com-
mittee was appointed to study the pro-
posal in depth and make its recommenda-
tions to the council for action.
The council was informed that the
student-sponsored proposal for an FM
radio station is now in the Office of Legal
Counsel. The announcement was also
made that the University Council had
voted unanimously to authorize the stu-
dent organized ambulance service and
papers of incorporation are in process.

Council Drafts
Position Paper
On Obligations
The Council on Academic Freedom
and Ethics, established this year by the
Senate, was asked to consider and recom-
mend policies relating to academic free-
dom and responsibility, professional
ethics, and student grievances concerning
professional behavior. The council has
written its first position paper and the
draft proposal, printed below, was sub-
mitted to the Senate at its Feb. 5
meeting.
“The Council on Academic Freedom
and Ethics accepts in principle the AAUP
Statements on Academic Freedom (1940;
with interpretive comments of 1970), and
Professional Ethics (1966). The following
are examples of behavior worthy of
special note:
“The instructor’s primary responsi-
bility to his subject is to seek and to state
the truth as he sees it.
“Instructional staff members are res-
ponsible for stating clearly the instruc-
tional objectives of each course they
teach at the beginning of each term. It is
expected that each instructional staff
member will direct his instruction toward
the fulfillment of these objectives and
that examinations will be consistent with
these objectives. Instructional staff mem-
bers are responsible to orient the content
of the courses they are assigned to teach
to the course descriptions approved by
the particular school or college. It is im-
proper for an instructor to intrude persis-
tently material which has no relation to
his subject.
“Evaluation of students and award of
credit must be based on academic per-
formance, professionally judged. Instruc-
tional staff members are responsible for
informing students in their classes of the
components to be included in deter-
mining the final course grade and of any
special requirements of attendance. It is
expected that graded examinations and
papers will be provided to the student for
inspection and discussion as quickly as
possible. Final exams will be retained for
one term to provide the opportunity for
review with the instructor, if the student
so desires.
“Faculty members are expected to
perform their assigned academic duties
conscientiously. Examples of neglect of
academic duties might include the follow-
ing: failure to meet classes for the full
schedule of hours; changing class hours
without the unanimous consent of en-
rolled students; failure to notify students
or otherwise provide for a class when the
instructor is ill or otherwise absent; and
permitting extra-curricular gainful em-
ployment to interfere with meeting full-
time obligation to this institution.
“It is incumbent upon the faculty to
takes steps to make themselves easily
available for consultation with students.
Every faculty member should establish
regular weekly office hours at additional
option of pre-arranged appointments for
students when there is a schedule conflict
and post these on his office door. Every
effort should be made to meet scheduled
office hours and appointments.”

Allman Brothers Concert
Given Extra Appropriation
University Concert Board’s
sponsorship of a concert by a major rock
group was the primary topic of a Central
Council emergency session on Monday,
Jan. 29. UCB had requested a supplemen-
tal appropriation in order to provide the
financial support required to complete a
contract with the Allman Brothers, who
tentatively have agreed to appear in con-
cert at the Palace Theater early this
spring.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to appropriate $10,200 to help
defray the estimated $30,000 which
Teacher Awards
Deadline Nears
“Thursday is the deadline for all let-
ters of nomination for both SUNY-wide
and SUNYA awards for outstanding
teaching. The Outstanding Teachers A-
wards Committee, chaired by Dorothy
Harrison, will choose two recipients of
SUNYA’s Outstanding Teacher Awards
and will forward to the SUNY Chancellor
four names in nomination for the SUNY
Excellence in Teaching Awards and one
name in nomination for the Distinguished
Teaching Professorship.
Letters of nomination should be
specific in reference to such things as the
nominee’s clarity, organization, rapport
with students, and other characteristics
which qualify him for consideration as an
outstanding teacher. It is not necessary to
specify a particular award in the letter of
nomination. All letters should be sent to
Mrs. Harrison, HU 318.
Both undergraduate and graduate
instructors are eligible for SUNYA’s Out-
standing Teacher Awards. The award in-
cludes a plaque and an unspecified cash
award.
Only instructors who regularly teach
at least one undergraduate course per
semester will be considered for the SUNY
awards. Excellence in Teaching Awards
carry $500 stipends and recognition in
the catalog. The Distinguished Teaching
Professorship includes a $2,500 increase
in pay, other special privileges and duties.
Adjustments Made
To Course Listings
Robert Terwilliger, assistant to the
dean of the College of Arts and Sciences,
has called attention to several course
listing adjustments as they will appear in
the college bulletins.
Linguistics, as a separate listing, will
be included in the Division of Humanities
in all college catalog material. Any
courses with the “Lin” designation
should also appear in the listing.
Radio, television, and film courses
now will be listed under the Department
of Rhetoric and Communication but still
will retain their ““Rtf” designation.
Environmental studies will be listed
separately in the Division of Social and
Behavioral Sciences. All courses with the
“Env” designation will be listed there.

Home Court Win Streak Over,
Danes Begin Again Saturday
The basketball team will try to start
a new home court winning streak
Saturday night, when it hosts Oswego at
8:30. SUNY Buffalo ended the Great
Danes’ school-record 25 straight victories
in University Gym last week, 76-62.
Ironically, the streak began against
Buffalo more than two years ago. Since
moving into the gym at the beginning of
the 1968-69 season, Albany has a record
of 45-10 on its home court.
Among the most memorable victories
in the long streak were 76-61 over
Buffalo, the only time Albany has beaten
the Bulls in 15 tries; 69-55 over Union in
the championship game of the 1971
Capital District Tournament; 70-68 in
overtime against Hartwick; 59-50 in
overtime against Fredonia; 66-61 to end
Buffalo State’s 28-game SUNY
System Tested
The Department of Educational Ad-
ministration is cooperating with the
Systems Development Corporation of
California in testing the utility of a na-
tional information retrieval system. The
grant provided by SDC is for assessing the
utility of the retrieval of 100,000 docu-
ments which are part of the Educational
Resources Information Centers.
There are 18 such depositories
located throughout the United States
which store results of educational re-
search in most areas of public and private
information. Results of the Department
of Educational Administration study of
the network are to be published by SDC
and the University Council of Educa-
tional Administration.
Conference winning streak; 72-56 over
Siena in a game that ended with 1:23 on
the clock due to a fight in the stands; and
the emotional victories over Brockport
and Potsdam two weeks ago.
Much credit for Albany’s outstanding
success at home must go to the fans.
Capacity, if not overflow, crowds have
become the rule recently, and the vocal
support inevitably carries the team to a
higher emotional plateau. The coach of
an Albany opponent recently remarked
that, because of the great crowd support,
Albany is now one of the toughest places
in the state for a visiting team.

The Danes play the first of their final
four SUNYAC games of the season at
Plattsburgh 8 p.m. Wednesday. After
