Education School
Dean To Resign
In August 1973
Randolph S. Gardner, dean of the
School of Education for the past ten
years, announced Thursday to his depart-
ment chairmen in the school that he was
resigning as dean effective next August.
He will return to teaching in the Depart-
ment of Curriculum and Instruction.
President Benezet issued the follow-
ing statement regarding the an-
nouncement: “‘I join our colleagues in the
School of Education in saluting Randolph
Gardner who has led his school as dean
since 1962. His balanced perspective and
encouragement of fellow professors have
helped make the transition from the days
of the College for Teachers to those of
the School of Education in the modern
university. His 25 years of service are test-
ament to an abiding faith in the profes-
sion of teaching. We wish him well in his
return after one more year to full-time
teaching.”
In commenting on the shift in duties,
Dean Gardner said, “My own feeling is
that educational administrative jobs
should be changed from time to time for
the good of the school and of the univer-
sity and the individual concerned. I enjoy
teaching and look forward to resuming it.
My announcement is to permit the uni-
versity time to find a replacement.”
Dean Gardner was chairman of the
Department of Mathematics Education
before being named director of education
and later dean. He said he probably
would teach a course in the preparation
of mathematics teachers.
In looking back over the past decade,
Dean Gardner opined that the major high-
lights were the development of graduate
programs and the hiring of graduate facul-
ty, reflected in 95% of growth being at
the graduate level. “We now have 14 de-
partments, including administration and
The Milne School. In those days we had
one. Then there were about 500 applica-
tions for graduate study; now we’ve had
5,000. In 1962 we had 87 faculty mem-
bers; this year we have about 192.”
Recognized as the “dean of deans,”
Dr. Gardner has served as dean longer than
any of his SUNYA colleagues.

The first production by State Univer-
sity Theater of six scheduled for the year
will be The Persecution and Assassination
of Jean-Marat as Performed by the In-
mates of the Asylum at Charendon, under
the Direction of the Marquis de Sade.
More than 100 persons auditioned
for parts in the play which has a cast of
41. Among those having leading roles will
be Ron Vawter as Jean-Paul Marat, Chris-
tine Cote as Simonne Evard, David Palma
as Duperret, and Jon Guttman as Jacques
Roux.
The play is the work of Peter Weiss.
Jarka Burian, chairman of the theater de-
partment, will direct the production. Set
design will be by Robert Donnelly.
Marat/Sade, as the work is referred
to informally, will open Wednesday, Oct
18, at 8:30 in the Main Theater of the
Performing Arts Center. There will be
evening performances through Saturday,
Oct. 21. The following day, Sunday, Oct.
22, there will be a matinee performance
at 2:30.
Other dramatic productions sched-
uled for the semester include those to be
offered by Experimental Theater Sept. 29
in the Arena Theater and Sept. 30 in the
Studio Theater. The programs will be an-
nounced at a later date.
There also will be an Experimental
Theater production on Oct. 26 in the
Laboratory Theater.
New Decals for Parking
Mandatory by Next Week
New campus parking regulations go
into effect Sept. 18 and all motor vehicles
must bear 1972-73 decals by that date.
Decals are issued upon payment of a $5
registration fee at the security office and
must be affixed to both the front and
rear bumpers.
This year, for the first time, all regis-
tered vehicles will be assigned a particular
parking lot. When registering his vehicle,
the individual may choose the area most
convenient for him, and that area’s num-
ber will be punched out on the row of
numbers on the decal. Vehicles parked in
areas to which they are not assigned will
be issued a summons for illegal parking.
Shuttle buses are scheduled to run
throughout all parking areas at about
seven-minute intervals to pick up and dis-
charge persons at the podium. There will
be shelters in the parking areas to protect
waiting passengers from inclement
weather. Regulations will be enforced in
all assigned parking areas from 7 a.m.-5
p.m., Monday-Friday. During all other
hours, anyone may park in any author-
ized parking area,
Parking will be prohibited at all
times, however, on all interior service
roads (including those around the podium
and the quadrangles), except by special or
medical permit. All such current permits
will become invalid Sept. 18, unless new
applications are obtained from security,
filled out, and approved. The number of
special and medical permits will be kept
to a minimum and only those persons
with valid reasons for requesting such per-
mits should apply.
Fines for violators of the traffic and
parking regulations (all of which are de-
tailed in a brochure available at the secur-
ity building) will be $5 or $10, as indi-
cated on the summons. Employees failing
to pay assessed fines may have the
amount deducted from their paycheck;
students may have their grades, tran-
scripts, or diplomas withheld, or may be
prevented from registering for classes.
The university will own and operate
a tow truck this year for use in enforcing
the regulations. Vehicles may be towed
and stored at the owner’s expense if
found in violation.
Supports Bond
The Preserve Your Environment Club
(PYE) sponsored a kick-off meeting and
press conference on campus Wednesday
in support of the upcoming state environ-
mental bond issue. PYE is a member of
the Environmental Bond Coalition which
also includes such groups as the Audubon
Society and the Sierra Club.
George Keleshian served as coordina-
tor for the program attended by leaders
of community organizations. Speakers in-
cluded Commissioner Henry Diamond,
State Environmental Conservation; Betty
Hawkins, of the League of Women Vot-
ers; and Peg Lordi, of the American As-
sociation of University Women.
Senate Approves Calendar Bill,
Retains Early Start of Classes
The Senate approved guidelines for
future academic calendars Tuesday, but
gave itself two more meetings to discuss
the exact form the 1973-74 document
will take.
Passage of the bill, which was intro-
duced by the Executive Committee, fol-
lowed lengthy discussion and two abor-
tive amendments concerning travel time
Garcia Appointed Director of Athletics
Joseph Garcia
President Benezet has announced the
appointment of Joseph Garcia as director
of athletics. Alfred C. Werner, who has
held the positions of chairman of the
men’s physical education department and
athletic director since 1966, will continue
to chair the department and coordinate
all athletic-related activities, including
intramurals and recreation.
The appointment of Mr. Garcia was
recommended by Dr. Werner and Neil C.
Brown, dean for student affairs. The divi-
sion of responsibility was made due to
the increasing workload in both athletics
and physical education.
Mr. Garcia, who has been a member
of the Albany faculty since 1950, initi-
ated varsity teams in soccer and wrestling.
He coached the former for 18 years until
1968 and will begin his 18th season as
wrestling coach this winter. He has had
several All-Americans in each sport.
The past six years, Mr. Garcia has
served as associate athletic director under
Dr. Werner, with responsibility for sched-
uling for Albany’s men’s intercollegiate
teams.
During Dr. Werner's six years as ath-
letic director, Albany has added football,
swimming, lacrosse, sailing, and track and
field to its men’s intercollegiate program,
which now totals 10 varsity, nine junior
varsity, and two club teams,
before and after holidays and the pre-
Labor Day opening of school. Although
attempts to provide a half day travel time
and to prohibit the early start were de-
feated, both issues sparked considerable
comment.
Ultimately, the Senate agreed with
the bill’s proposals which provide that the
fall term will end by Dec. 24, thus neces-
sitating a pre-Labor Day beginning; and
that particular holidays will be observed
by the recessing of classes. The bill also
specifies that the calendar be published at
least two years in advance, but that provi-
sion was amended to read that the
1973-74 calendar must be published by
Nov. 7, 1972. Thus, the Senators will
have two more meetings to examine pos-
sibilities for that year under both the new
bill and the guidelines from central
SUNY.
In its first session of the year, the
Senate also approved a suggestion from
the Undergraduate Academic Council
that the council work jointly with Stu-
dent Association in conducting a poll of
faculty and students on grading prefe:
ences. SA President Michael Lampert i
dicated the poll likely will take place be-
fore the next Senate meeting Oct. 2.
1971-72 Senate Stressed Reorganization
Editor’s Note: The following is a fore-
word to the Annual Report of the Univer-
sity Senate for 1971-72, It was written by
Arthur Collins, chairman of the 1971-72
Senate.
The annual reports of the councils
and committees of the University Senate
offer a summary of the year’s work. A
fuller record exists in the minutes of the
Senate and the legislation passed. Distri-
bution of these Senate materials was en-
larged in 1971-1972 to include all depart-
ment chairmen; a full record is main-
tained in the University Library. I wish to
call attention here to a few of the matters
which stand out in a retrospective glance
at the Senate year which concluded June
30, 1972.
In 1971-1972 the university was
learning to live with a no-growth budget.
This limitation led directly to Bill No.
197172-01 concerning establishment of
priorities for resource allocation; after its
passage, the Executive Vice President ad-
dressed the Senate (in an open meeting to
which all faculty members were invited)
on the existing priorities of the uni-
versity.
A reflection of the no-growth budget
was the increased concern over tenure
and the renewal of faculty term appoint-
ments (Bills Nos. 197172-14, 197172-22,
197172-23, 197172-38, 197172-39), The
dilemma of attempting to increase em-
ployment of women and members of
racial minorities without injustice toward
term appointees led to prolonged discus-
sions in the Council on Educational
Policy and Senate adoption of the state-
ment on Affirmative Action in Bill No.
197172-42.
The necessity of considering the
quality of teaching when promotion or
tenure was to be recommended led the
Council on Promotions and Continuing
Appointments to formulate Bill No.
197172-40, requesting a committee to
recommend for adoption some uniform
instrument for evaluating teaching.
The Senate has become responsible
for adoption of the academic calendar
(Bills Nos. 197172-09 and 197172-11);
an ad hoc committee under Robert Gib-
son has drafted calendar recommenda-
tions on which the new Senate will no
doubt act early in the fall.
Among the academic matters dealt
with, most prominent are the two new
programs which the Senate approved: a
Doctor of Arts in Spanish (Bill No.
197172-37) and the James E. Allen Colle-
giate Center with its three-year bacca-
laureate (Bill No. 197172-12). Acting for
the Senate in June, the Executive Com-
mittee approved legislation authorizing a
major in interdisciplinary studies. The
long-awaited report on the implementa-
tion of “New Patterns of Undergraduate
Education” (adopted in 1968) reached
the Senate in November. Undergraduate
programs are the concern of Bills Nos.
197171-15 (participation by the universi-
ty in the College Level Examination Pro-
gram), 197172-16 and 197172-35 (Physi-
cal Education), and 197172-19 and
197172-21 (related to the increase in tui-
tion).
Senate concern over the S-U grading
system and the exemptions from it was
expressed in Bill No. 197172-05, which
was defeated, and in No. 197172-05-C
which was adopted and called forth a
lengthy review and recommendations
from the Undergraduate Academic Coun-
cil (embodied in Bill No. 197172-36).
Opinions vary as to whether wisdom or
folly prevailed when the Senate refused
to act on Bill No. 197172-36 until a poll
of students has been taken; in any case,
the incoming Senate will have an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate its own wisdom in
handling this held-over item.
The fact that the work of the Senate
is carried out chiefly in its councils is evi-
dent in the reports which follow; it is also
reflected in the observation that of the 43
bills brought before the Senate in
1971-72, 17 dealt with the membership
of the councils and committees. Twelve
of the 17 were occasioned by the Senate’s
attempt to incorporate into its structure
for 1972-73 the recommendations of the
faculty’s Commission on Campus Govern-
ance; two of the 17 arose as a result of
the SPA contract, which gives to the
negotiating agent the chief responsibility
for handling grievances and complaints.
In addition to these 17, one bill dealt
with the attendance of members of coun-
cils and committees. That subject, like at-
tendance in the Senate itself, remains per-
tinent. It may be pointed out, however,
that Senate meetings last year generally
ended upon motions to adjourn that did
not result from discovery that the
quorum was no longer present. Awareness
by Senators of their responsibility has evi-
dently grown. This opinion is supported
by the report of the Committee on Nomi-
nations and Elections, which notes the
number of nominating petitions sub-
mitted by members of the faculty seeking
election to the Senate.
Under the leadership of the Vice
President for Management and Planning,
the Senate adopted Bill No. 197172-08,
which authorizes a group program for
auto liability insurance. Parking policy
was, mirabile dictu, not a focus of atten-
tion in the 1971-72 Senate, although the
report of the Personnel Policy Council
proves that it is a perennial topic; if it is a
parking problem which unites a universi-
ty, we still stand united.
Two major proposals lie before the
university community at present. One is a
proposal for a judiciary as an arm of com-
munity governance. The other, of much
longer standing as a proposal, is the revi-
sion of the Faculty By-Laws creating the
Senate. It is the outgrowth of years of
work by the Commission on Campus
Governance. At the beginning of the
1971-72 academic year it seemed possible
that action on this proposal might be
taken before the spring. The Senate itself
provided a forum for discussion of the
proposal; so many revisions were sug-
gested that a revised version was not yet
available for general information at the
end of the academic year.
The changes in councils and commit-
tees alluded to above accomplish two ob-
jects: they give representation on all of
the councils to all of the groups likely to
be affected by decisions of the councils,
and they redefine some of the concerns
of the Senate (by replacing the Library
Council with a broader Academic Services
Council, by replacing the Council on Uni-
versity Evaluation and Improvement with
a Council on Academic Freedom and
Ethics, and by replacing the narrowly-
focused Personnel Policies Council with a
University Community Council), Thanks
are due to Professors Martin Edelman and
Barbara Rotundo, particularly, for the
work of the commission and for the
hours spent with the Senate in devising
the final versions of the bills.
The new council structure developed
from, and is consistent with, the in-
creased sharing of responsibility in the
governance of SUNYA. It remains to be
seen whether the new system works
better than the old. Part of the test is
commitment by the members of the
councils, whether or not they are Sena-
tors; and commitment in turn means not
only attendance at meetings but partici-
pation in the work—studying proposals
and documents, formulating positions,
and voicing them cogently albeit succinct-
ly. Another part of the test is the devel-
opment within councils of committee
structures that efficiently divide the work
while ensuring adequate input from the
varied constituencies; a challenge has
been given to the council chairmen.
No separate report has been filed for
the Executive Committee. As the Senate’s
and the faculty’s “committee on com-
mittees,” it met monthly through the
year to make appointments, set the
agenda for Senate meetings, and assign
questions and problems to appropriate
councils for investigation and recommen-
dations. General campus concern about
promotions and continuing appointments
led the committee to appoint a study
group to investigate how such matters are
handled at other universities of compara-
ble size and diversity and to make recom-
mendations which might be forwarded to
the Senate. The members, whose work
came at the very busiest time of the year,
were Professors Webb Fiser, Walter
Knotts, Violet Larney, John Rosenbach,
and Shirley Brown, chairman. Their re-
port received discussion at the final meet-
ing of the Executive Committee on June
20.
In the meantime, a joint subcommit-
tee of the Council on Promotions and
Continuing Appointments and the Coun-
cil on Educational Policy has made
recommendations concerning tenure, and
the Council on Promotions and Continu-
ing Appointments had proposed modifi-
cations of the guidelines for promotion
and tenure. The Senate had charged the
Executive Committee to seek to unify
and harmonize these various recommen-
dations. This task was unfinished and the
charge has been passed on to the incom-
ing Executive Committee under Chairman
Benjamin Chi.
Communication gaps still exist
among elements of the whole campus
community and between the university
and its various publics. One small attempt
at bridging some of these was the Alumni
Association’s sponsorship this year of a
series of coffee hours and sherry hours
for faculty and alumni. Another was the
provision of a “press box’ at Senate
meetings for reporters from the Albany
Student Press and the student radio sta-
tion as well as the Tower Tribune. Several
members of the Senate cooperated in the
study undertaken by Professor Tompkins
of SUNYA’s communication problems;
we may hope for additional improve-
ments as that study requested by the Vice
President for University Affairs is imple-
mented.
The problems of all universities to-
day are more complex than they were a
decade ago. Shifting priorities of state
and federal governments, changed atti-
tudes toward higher education and ex-
pectations from it, and the growth of a
dual system of two-year colleges and
four-year colleges and universities have
created problems which are intensified by
economic uncertainty. Locally, this uni-
versity faces all these problems and the
attendant ones of its own evolution, As
our schools and colleges develop their
own governance structures, the role of
the Senate itself changes. The major
challenge of the next year will be to un-
complicate decision making while
maintaining the flow of information and
the sharing of responsibility. President
Benezet’s reorganization of the adminis-
trative structure and the Senate’s self-
modification tend in this direction.
New Telescope Installed
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 photo-
graphic instrument, stands about six feet
in height and 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
students will use the telescope. It will be
particularly useful for the survey course
in astronomy and for the undergraduate
research course. Astronomy majors take a
zequence of five courses for seniors and
three of them will involve use of the tele-°
scope and the photoelectric photometer.

Students Study
In Cuernavaca
Eight SUNYA students have left for
Cuernavaca, Mexico, where they will
spend the fall term with 28 other
students from SUNY units at Brockport
and Binghamton. Classes begin Sept. 4 at
two independent institutions, Centro
Intercultural de Documentacion and Cen-
tro de Artes y Lenguas.
The program, sponsored by Albany and
Brockport, provides an opportunity for
interested students to study in a linguis-
tic, social, political, and economic envi-
ronment unlike their own and to learn
the Spanish language in a relatively short
period.
Frank G. Carrino, director of the Center
for Inter-American Studies here, also
directs the Cuernavaca program.
Participating Albany students this fall
are Kathy Grosz, Miriam Lorenzo, Juan
Melendez, Paul Reid, Jose Rodriguez,
John Saunders, Lawrence Sorgen, and
Richard Tandlich.
The semester will conclude the first
week in December and another group of
students will attend the spring term
February-May.

Four Students Become Interns
In State Education Department
Four graduate students in the De-
partment of Curriculum and Instruction
have begun internships at the State Edu-
cation Department as part of a coopera-
tive program between SUNYA and the
Division of Adult and Continuing Educa-
tion. Delores Allison, Dorothy Coar, Lori
Zinn, and Kay Martens will be employed
part-time as fully accredited staff mem-
bers and attend classes here part-time.
Harry Lewis, director of adult basic
education in the Department of Curricu-
lum and Instruction, described the pro-
gram, the first in the state, as combining
theory and practical application. The stu-
dents will be interning within the three
components of the division, those con-
cerned with general, basic, and special
continuing education.
SUNYA reportedly has the only
adult basic education program in the
United States which offers a curriculum
orientation in adult education. The new
internship program arrangement with the
State Education Department is on an
annual renewable basis.
Fencing Exhibition
Set for Saturday
The first organizational meeting of
the SUNYA Fencers Club will be held at
7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the third floor
dance studio, Physical Education Build-
ing, to elect officers and discuss the club’s
program. Club members and anyone else
interested in fencing are invited to attend.
The club will offer a fencing exhibi-
tion, open to all members of the universi-
ty community, at 10 a.m. Saturday. The
club meets each Wednesday evening and
Saturday morning during the schoool
year.
Membership is open to beginners and
advanced fencers, men and women, stu-
dents, faculty, and staff. The club fur-
nishes basic equipment and there is no
charge for lessons by coach Frank Collins.
Activities include individual and group in-
struction, intraclub and intercollegiate
tournaments.
Tower Tribune
Published weekly when classes are in ses-
sion by the Community Relations Office
as a service to the university community;
carries news of campus-wide interest for
and about students, faculty, and staff.
Submit items in writing 10 days in ad-
vance to AD 235. Name and address
must be included. All material is subject
to editing. For further information call
71-4901, The “Tower Tribune” is printed
‘on recycled paper stock,
Mr. Lewis, commenting on the pro-
gram, said, “By combining the aspects of
the theoretical background from the uni-
versity and applying these directly into a
practical approach we hope to be able to
turn out theoreticians who are also prag-
matists in the classroom.” The interns
will be working in the development of
curriculum and then seeing and evaluating
curriculum within classrooms.
Monroe Neff, director of the Division
of Adult and Continuing Education, is
president-elect of the national associa-
tion.
C-U Day Plans
Taking Shape
Plans for Community-University Day
on Saturday, Oct. 21, are beginning to
take shape at a rapid pace. Student repre-
sentatives were present for the first time
Tuesday at a meeting of the steering com-
mittee. It was the committee’s first ses-
sion since classes began this semester.
Many departments now have been
heard from regarding their program offer-
ings. The Department of Music will pres-
ent several performances on C-U Day
during the afternoon and evening. A spe-
cial feature will be strolling singers.
The Art Gallery is scheduling a spe-
cial showing of works by Donald
Mochon, There also will be tours of the
Fine Arts Building during which visitors
may watch students working in studio art
such as sculpture, ceramics, and oils.
The Educational Opportunities Pro-
gram Student Association is planning a
number of events, including a financial
aids display. The School of Business will
be conducting a tax clinic and a computer
game. In another planned computer game
by the Graduate School of Public Affairs,
the emphasis will be on politics.

Rowe to Seek
Funds for Media
Robert C. Rowe, recently named co-
ordinator, interagency educational com-
munications, will be working with other
state and federal agencies and founda-
tions to obtain financial support. Dr.
Rowe, who joined the faculty in 1958,
has been associated closely with the de-
velopment of educational television pro-
grams.
Vice President for Academic Affairs
Phillip Sirotkin, in commenting on Dr.
Rowe’s new responsibilities, said, “We
have reached a point where we need to
broaden and diversify our sources of sup-
port for the advancement of educational
communications. With the development
of new technologies in this area, we have
a long way to go in realizing our potential
for expansion. We see this as a critical
need that will be met by Dr. Rowe’s new
assignment.”
Dr. Rowe’s activities will constitute
an integral part of the program of the Ed-
ucational Communications Center, and,
in addition, he will teach in the Depart-
ment of Educational Communications,
School of Education. His other duties will
include serving as SUNYA’s liaison with
the area college consortium and with the
regionalization task force and providing
liaison with SUNY’s central office in mat-
ters concerning distribution rights and
legal rights to filmed educational pro-
grams.
Cross-Country’s Second Decade
To Begin Saturday at Brockport
Cross-country, Albany’s most suc-
cessful sport over the past 10 years, be-
gins its second decade Saturday with a
meet at Brockport. Coach Bob Munsey,
who has led the harriers to a 10-year
mark of 87-18, is “cautiously optimistic”
for another banner season.
A foot injury has hobbled Vince
Reda, a transfer from Fordham and a
strong candidate for the No. 1 slot this
fall. If he comes around, Munsey antici-
pates a stronger team than last year’s 10-3
/ squad.
Freshman Carlos Cherubino, junior
Nick DeMarco, and senior John Stanton
looked the best in a pre-season 10.5-mile
road race at Westport, Conn. The coach
credits Cherubino with “a great mental
attitude” and hopes DeMarco and Stan-
ton continue their comebacks from in-
juries that sidelined them last year.
Another promising freshman is Phil
Doyle, while veterans John Koch and Bill
Sorel also have been running well. How-
ever, Munsey expressed disappointment
in letterman Scott Abercrombie and
transfer Jim Shrader, both of whom have
been slow rounding into shape and pres-
ently are question marks.
The team makes its first home ap-
pearance Saturday, Sept. 23, against
Coast Guard and Montclair. Highlighting
the schedule are the SUNYAC Champion-
ship Meet here Oct. 21 and the sixth an-
nual Albany Invitational Oct. 28.
sosiok
The annual pre-season quadrangular
soccer scrimmage is scheduled here at |
p.m. Saturday. Joining Albany in the
round-robin tournament will be Colgate,
Williams, and Plattsburgh. Games will be
played simultaneously on the two fields
in front of the gym.
Grant Received
The Two-Year College Student De-
velopment Center has been awarded a
grant of $82,000 by the Bureau of Two-
Year College Programs and the Division
of Occupational Education of the New
York State Education Department.
The grant provides monies for in-
service programs to update the competen-
cies of counselors and other student per-
sonnel workers in New York two-year
colleges and includes workshops for three
specific adult populations; namely, role-
change adults, veterans, and young adult
drop-outs. Also included will be programs
for physically handicapped and disadvan-
taged minority group students.
The center, which began its fifth year
of operation in July, has three full-time
staff members, William A. Robbins, direc-
tor; Francis P. Hodge, assistant director;
and Rita Kelly, secretary. Terry Mooney,
part-time graduate assistant, has been as-
signed to the center for the current aca-
demic year.
