SUPA/A Membership Meeting
To Consider By-Law Changes
A membership meeting of the State
University Professional Association at
Albany (SUPA/A) will be held at noon
Wednesday in CC 375.
Among agenda items are nominations
for officers and Board of Directors; a vote
on proposed changes in the association’s
constitution and by-laws; a report on the
recent statewide SUPA meeting; establish-
ment of dues for the coming year; and
discussion of Articles 33 and 34 of the
GSPA Offers
New Program
The Graduate School of Public
Affairs has announced that a non-degree
program of graduate courses in the fields
of public administration, political science,
and political economy is available for any
person who has an undergraduate degree
in any field and an acceptable under-
graduate record. Courses are available
throughout the day but especially in the
late afternoon and evening for the con-
venience of people who are employed.
Courses include organizational behav-
ior and development, governmental
finances, administrative management, leg-
islative process, selected problems in
public affairs, collective bargaining, deci-
sion-making in government and adminis-
tration, urban-planning policy, and
American constitutional law. More than
40 courses will be offered in the program
designed both for professional and
personal intellectual enrichment.
Those interested may obtain addi-
tional information from Sandro Barone,
assistant dean, at Draper Hall (telephone
472-6296) who points out that the
courses are for all qualified, “whether
government employee or homemaker.”
agreement between SUNY and the Senate
Professional Association (SPA).
Articles 33 and 34 require each cam-
pus president to initiate the development
of procedures by which non-teaching pro-
fessionals (NTP’s) may elect representa-
tives to a Campus Promotions Review
Panel and a Committee on Professional
Evaluation.
The SUNYA chapter of SPA is asking
NTP’s to appeal to the Review Panel what
SPA views as improper practices and lack
of established criteria used by the state in
assigning NTP’s to initial ranks under a
new Professional Rank System. Appeals
should be made to Donald Bunis, interim
chairman of the Promotion Review Panel,

ria was used in assigning NTP’s to the new
Professional Ranks.”
Proposed changes in the SUPA/A
Constitution and By-Laws are numerous.
If approved, they would eliminate associ-
ate membership; combine the offices of
vice-president and treasurer, while keep-
ing those of president and secretary;
reduce the number of directors in addi-
tion to the officers from 10 to four;
reduce from 25 to 10 the number of sig-
natures needed on a petition to propose
an amendment to the constitution; and
increase elected officers’ terms from one
to two years.
Bills Payable Now
The due date of Dec. 20 which
appears on the Spring 1973 Semester in-
voices pertains to mail payments only.
In-person payments will be accepted at
the Bursar’s Office, Business Administra-
tion B-19, during regular business hours.
A late payment charge of $5 will be
assessed effective Jan. 16, according to a
memorandum from Robert Acquino.
Human Sexuality Course
To Be Offered Next Fall
An interdisciplinary course on
human sexuality will be offered by the
School of Nursing beginning next fall.
The course is the outgrowth of campus
demand which resulted in an ad hoc com-
mittee’s being set up by the SUNYA
Council on Health and Drug Education of
which Lois Gregg is chairman.
Anne Rudolph, instructor in the
School of Nursing, who serves as coordi-
nator of the course with the assistance of
Peter Furst, chairman of the Department
of Anthropology, said, “The general
approach is to develop the course holisti-
cally as person-oriented rather than
gender-oriented.” She continued, “It is
not a study of sexuality isolated from the
realistic human condition; rather, it is a
study of the human person as a sexed
being with the resultant implications for
human growth and maturity as a man or
woman lives in the world with other
sexed beings with whom each must
relate.”
The three-credit course (NSC 520)
will be available to graduate students and
seniors by consent. It will be given on
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, 3:45
to 5, and will carry A-E grading.
Seen as the possible beginning of a
core of courses in human sexuality, the
course has been in the planning stage for
many months. In addition to Mrs. Gregg,
others on the ad hoc committee are Hedi
McKinley, social welfare; Joseph Norton,
education; Myron Taylor, English;
Margaret Stewart, biological sciences; and
William Brown, criminal justice. Approval
has been given by the curriculum commit-
tee of the School of Nursing and the
school’s faculty. Participating faculty
from the various disciplines will be
announced at a later date.
Preparation for the new course offer-
ing has involved initial input from anthro-
pology, humanities, social welfare,
criminal justice, and nursing. There also
will be further input from the Depart-
ment of Biological Sciences and Student
Health Service.
Some of the areas to be included for
study in the new course are the concept
of sexuality, historical data, contempo-
rary behavioral patterns, contemporary
attitudes as reflected by Rollo May, a
look at the sexual revolution, influences
on the development of sexuality, bio-
psycho-social developments, and
sexuality and social dimension.
Mrs, Rudolph, who joined the fac-
ulty in 1968, is a graduate of Bellevue
Medical Center School of Nursing. She
has degrees from Teachers College,
Columbia University, and from Russell
Sage College.

Executive Committee Revision
Meets With Senate Approval
Senate defeated a bill concerning its
Council on Promotions and Continuing
Appointments and approved a bill revis-
ing the composition of its Executive
Committee at last Monday’s meeting. It
also defeated a motion to reconsider the
matter of reinstating A-E grades for all
undergraduates and approved a proposal
to delete reference to the amount of cash.
given as part of the Outstanding Teacher
Awards.
The defeated bill had sought to re-
lieve the workload of the council by al-
lowing it to bypass those cases which in-
volved “clear support” of the school and
department and consider only those cases
in which there was “substantial disagree-
ment” within a department or between a
department and school. The ambiguity of
the two quoted phrases was one of the
key points in arguments which led to the
bill’s defeat.
The newly approved composition of
the Executive Committee must be sub-
mitted to the full faculty for its approval,
as it represents a change in the Faculty
By-Laws. That will be done at the next
general faculty meeting.
Membership on the committee will
include seven members to be elected by
the Senate: three faculty Senators, three
student Senators, and one member of the
service staff; the Senate’s chairman, chair-
man-elect, and secretary; and the follow-
ing ex officio members: the SUNYA, Stu-
dent Association and Graduate Student
Association presidents; SUNYA’s repre-
sentatives to the SUNY Senate, and the
immediate past chairman of the Senate.
Should Students Help Determine Curriculum?
Editor’s Note: The following article by
President Louis T. Benezet appeared in
the Nov. 20, 1972 issue of The Chronicle
of Higher Education. Jt is reprinted with
permission of the publisher, Editorial
Projects for Education, Inc.
To conclude in 1972 that students
have become passive and compliant
means that the concluder has not spent
time recently talking with students.
Bitterness about Indochina and the
stepped-up slaughter of civilians by
bombing runs deep; cynicism about the
establishment is greater than ever. For
numbers of students, however, it has
turned in the direction of influencing the
course of college education itself.
The public has misinterpreted this
drive for student power as a sort of
Jacobin movement to take over the uni-
versity, either to wreck it or to run it to
suit themselves. Faculty members and ad-
ministrators on not a few campuses share
similar fears.
Actually, most students couldn’t care
less about university administration per
se. The month-to-month business of run-
ning the academic establishment attracts
them little. One lambent exception: cam-
pus parking. When students are appointed
to committees on general academic
policy, personnel practices, physical plant
(except for ecological problems), or even
topics such as budget-making and student
affairs, their attendance at meetings typi-
cally declines. Committee conversation
become philosophic or procedural; fac-
ulty hair-splitting takes over; and students
find livelier things to do with their time.
But if the agenda turns to new
courses for the undergraduate program,

such as ecology, urban affairs, or racial
tensions, or to eliminating the restrictions
of course requirements, or to the aca-
demic tenure of professors, then student
participation is fresh and active.
Student interest in university deci-
sion-making comes down, in concrete
terms, to a demand for change in what is
being taught in the general undergraduate
program. Many students—just how many,
we don’t know—believe the big questions
that will affect their lives in the world
they face aren’t being tackled in the col-
lege courses.
There is a growing expression of be-
lief that traditional liberal arts and sci-
ence disciplines will not do the job for
mankind if we are to have a world worth
living in by the year 2000, or perhaps if
we are to have a world at all.
What should one learn in college in
order to help build a world of peace,
social justice, and a tolerable environment
during the next 30 years? The colleges
have said, “Learn what those before you
learned: Knowledge of man’s history, his
thought, and his creations; and knowl-
edge of the make-up of the natural uni-
verse.” Today’s students reply, “That’s all
right for professional scholars. It’s not all
right for those who want to do something
about society as matters are going now.”
Student interest in university deci-
sion-making focuses on a desire to change
college studies more directly toward plan-
ning a better world. When faculty mem-
bers point out that a center of learning
cannot be at the same time a center of
social policy, students ask, “Why not?”
Two years ago it was decided at our
university to offer students the option to
earn credit for community service carried
out under advisers among social agencies
of the surrounding cities. By the time of
second-semester registration, applicants
for these field courses had so flooded the
supervisor that enrollment had to be cut
off, while the agencies had trouble plac-
ing all the enrollees in projects.
Massive student interest in environ-
mental studies has prompted university
developments of course sequences and
majors. The University of Wisconsin at
Green Bay, the University of California at
Santa Barbara, and several others offer
entire curricula in environmental educa-
tion. Student pressures have led to new
courses on the inner city, on ethnic
studies, on peace studies, and on women’s
studies. None of these came out of care-
ful faculty deliberation in the way that
the general education movement was
started 40 years ago or as area studies
(Latin-American, Asian, American,
Middle European) were begun 10 to 15
years ago. The current new courses have
been born out of a student demand that
managed to locate a sympathetic faculty
response. To center such courses in the
core of the undergraduate liberal arts pro-
gram is the driving interest behind much
of the student activism.
There is, then, a continuing student
activist movement, which to an extent
has taken the place of protests against the
Vietnam war. It may take form in sup-
port for faculty members who will teach
broad courses in interdisciplinary fashion
or who encourage students to pursue new
subject-matter on their own.
Environmental studies have become a
center of controversy. Teachers of ecol-
ogy are sometimes explicit in identifying
those nearby industries which are held to
be guilty of pollution. This too can be-
come a politicized campus issue.. The
ecology instructor may become a target
for attack by segments of the outside
public. Such developments will tend to
convince some students that their teacher
is being martyred by the system and that
the academic establishment may well be
in cahoots with the business world in
plans to suppress environmental
reformers.
An unfortunate by-product of the
new student activism is that it has helped
to polarize student sentiment against
scholarship and research in general. A
professor who is a recognized, productive
scholar may become caricatured as an
academic anal type a /a Freud. When a
young faculty member’s tenure is in ques-
tion and his teaching of popular contem-
porary courses becomes involved, stu-
dents may conclude that the depart-
ment’s opposition is led by senior mem-
bers who are interested only in their own
research and who don’t like students or
teaching anyway. A vote for the young
professor means a vote for humanity; a
vote against him means that the academic
establishment is running the university in
its own interest. Thus the issue becomes
oversimplified, escalated, and progres-
sively irrational on both sides.
It has been my observation that stu-
dents are less critical of large classes and
rising fees than they are of what they per-
ceive to be a lack of faculty sensitivity to
those subjects which students believe are
important for social justice and world
survival.
For the university, meanwhile, the
question comes, Is it legitimate for stu-
dents to have a voice in what shall be
taught? Do students have a point in chal-
lenging the validity of the traditional arts
and sciences with their strong depart-
mental structures and their emphasis
upon scholarly specialties as the criterion
of excellence?
There is room for both worlds in a
modern university. A curriculum dictated
entirely by immediate concerns would
soon decline, as the “free universities” set
up by students in the 1960’s to deal with
immediate popular issues have declined.
Scholarly excellence should go on.
Still, the cry of the student for atten-
tion to the contemporary problems of life
cannot be disregarded as the numbers of
people going to college continue to rise.
Few of the 8% million now attending col-
lege will become professional scholars.
Almost all will become citizens, voters,
family heads, world neighbors, and, to
varying degrees, leaders of opinion.
The modern university should reex-
amine the content and meaning of its pro-
gram leading to the bachelor of arts.
Environmental study of the closed biosys-
tem which is spaceship Earth should
become one basic element in the curricu-
lum. Human identity as revealed in the
different races and cultures at home and
abroad, often at conflict with each other,
should be a second. The political econ-
omy of a nation inextricably tied to the
political economy of the rest of the world
should be a third. The forms and varieties
of creative leisure, applying the humani-
ties and the arts toward preserving human
individuality, should be a fourth.
The students are ready and eager for
curriculum developments involving these
elements. Their inability to find enough
of them in the existing curriculum helps
turn them off into preoccupations with
sex, drugs, occultism (including a revival
of witchcraft), and a general rejection of
rationalism or of the record of past intel-
lectual accomplishment.
Universities have within them talents
and energies to put new undergraduate
programs together in intellectually re-
spectable ways. General courses need not
be superficial; history need not go on the
town. On the contrary, higher education
should become more vital and exacting as
it approaches tests of human application.
As one veteran professor, an atmospheric
scientist, puts it, “I let the students start
right out on a field problem. It’s the
quickest way for them to discover how
much they need to learn that they don’t
know.”
That is what the students are asking
for when they demand that the faculty
and administration join with them in de-
ciding what we shall teach that is new and
different in order to improve the connec-
tion between higher education and the
human future. Student views need tem-
pering by other intellectual forces such as
have held the university together over
centuries. They also need to be thought-
fully heard.
{ At Year’s End |
by President Louis T. Benezet
The fall semester which now ends with the December holidays makes the first half
of the academic year pass with unbelievable speed. It is always hard to believe when it
is over. The late summer beginning has its disadvantages, but more and more universi-
ties like ourselves are settling into it.
In spite of the swift passage of time, we seem to have had the usual university
term full of events and issues. Concerning programs and resources I for one have felt a
little less breathless as improving state revenues saved us for the first time in two years
from an expenditure ceiling. This forestalled further cutbacks and those somber
memos from the administration that such state actions require. We are warned not to
expect a growth budget next year but we do hope to hold on to what we are budgeting
for an operation that will not be pushed backwards. Thanks to some outside funds and
to student and faculty ingenuity, we have managed a few educational innovations even
during this period of austere finances. The Allen Collegiate Center and the start of
environmental studies sequences are examples.
Good comments about our Community-University Day October 21 continue to
come in from the neighborhood. I hope we can use that day as a base for new activities
which present to the surrounding community more of the great things that a university
can make available to people in our area. Humanities and the fine arts, applied social
sciences, and scientific exploration all play their parts in this.
Right now we are being called upon for a first draft of a master plan for SUNY
Albany as part of the over-all SUNY plan during the years until 1980. A Long-Range
Planning Task Force with faculty, student, and administrative members is working
hard to draw together our best directions for university progress over the next eight
years. The final report, due in April, will go in to SUNY only after plans have been
processed by University governance bodies, notably the Educational Policies Council,
the University Community Council, the Student Affairs Council, and the Senate itself.
Right now we all need a pause and a breath of non-academic air before we head
into a second term. May I wish each one of you a refreshing vacation period and a new
year of progress toward the fulfillment of our best hopes!

Council Action Provides
‘Voice for New Students
Representation in student govern-
ment for the first time has been extended
to incoming freshmen and transfer stu-
dents as a result of action taken by
Central Council at its regular weekly
meeting on Nov. 30. A bill introduced by
the Election Reform Committee provides
new undergraduates with the opportunity
to vote and run for Student Association
offices during their first semester at
SUNYA.
The measure was enacted for the pur-
pose of enfranchising incoming students
as soon as possible, thereby eliminating
the present situation in which newcomers
are represented by people who are elected
months before the new students initially
arrive at school. Under the recently
approved system, three-quarters of the
Central Council representatives from each
living area (the five quadrangles and off-
campus) will be elected in the spring. The
remaining councilmen will be chosen
early in the following fall semester, with
all full-time undergraduates who have
paid the mandatory tax eligible to vote
and hold office. Since most of the respec-
tive living areas are entitled to have four
Central Council members, three would be
elected in the spring and at least one seat
would be filled in the Autumn.
Central Council also voted to endorse
Interviews Held
Robert Andersen, director of student
teaching, has announced that interviews
for next year’s assignments now are being
held. Students in English education and
social studies education are advised to
report to ED 333 immediately.
Other subjects will be handled on the
following dates: languages, today and to-
morrow; science, Dec. 13; and speech
pathology, Dec. 14 and 15.

The basketball team concludes its
pre-holiday schedule this week with road
games at Hartwick (8:15 Wed.) and Bing-
hamton (8:00 Sat.). Both contests figure
to be difficult. Hartwick is led by former
Junior College of Albany star Kevin
Mulcahey, while Binghamton has a pair of
Broome C.C. products in Jim Brody and
George Fisher. Last year, Albany beat
both teams at home, but Binghamton was
without Brody and Fisher, and Hartwick
forced the Danes into overtime before
succumbing.
