Obedience Gives Way to Adventure
In Comic Opera, ‘Albert Herring’
“Albert Herring”, Benjamin Britten’s
comic opera about a young man whose
obedience to his strict mother earns him
the unwelcome title of May King, will be
presented Sunday in the PAC Main Thea-
ter at 7:30 p.m. The performance, which
is free to the public, will be given by the
Opera Theater of SUC Fredonia. It is
sponsored by the University-wide Com-
mittee on the Arts.

Two Corporations
Two corporations have been formed
by students working in the Ebenezer
Howard Project, faculty, and adminis-
tration for the purpose of building and
promoting student and community
housing, Student Dwellings, Inc., is a
non-profit membership corporation es-
tablished for the sole purpose of pro-
viding housing for students. Its member-
ship will be made up of four groups
having equal representation. The groups
are faculty and administration, students
(through Student Association), the cor-
poration’s board of directors, and the
tenants. The board of directors is planned
to include predominantly non-university
individuals.
The second corporation, Ebenezer
Howard Housing, will provide housing for
the community surrounding the uni-
versity. The two corporations are ex-
pected to work hand in hand to provide a
housing mix in the area and avoid the
development of a student ghetto.
Boards of directors for both cor-
porations will be announced soon.
Specific plans for acquiring, rehabili-
tating, or building housing will be made
after the directors have met. Further
information about the corporations may
be obtained from Doug Goldschmidt,
7-8327 or 7-6543,
who must choose a May Queen for the
annual celebration. None of the girls in
the community are considered to have
sufficient moral stature for the honor, so
they choose Albert as May King.
Albert is less than ecstatic about the
honor, but when he objects his mother
sends him upstairs like a small child to
repent. He must also endure the ridicule
of the village children and especially Sid,
the butcher’s assistant, who constantly
tries to lure him into exciting escapades.
At the May Festival, Sid slips rum
into Albert’s lemonade, and by the end of
the day, Albert is in a very merry mood
indeed, As he returns home he hears Sid
and his girlfriend arranging a rendezvous
and decides that it is time he himself sees
another side of life. Taking the May King
prize money, he disappears for a day.
When he returns, he tells tales which
scandalize the committee but earn him
the respect of Sid and the village children,
to say nothing of his own satisfaction.
Also scheduled this week is a concert
by the Faculty Woodwind Quintet. It will
be on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in the PAC
Recital Hall.
An estimated 3100 degrees will be
conferred here on May 22 at the annual
commencement exercises. The program
will begin at 2 p.m. on the Campus
Center Mall with United States Senator
Mark Hatfield, of Oregon, as guest
speaker.
Degree candidates will report in aca-
demic regalia to designated areas on the
Academic Podium at 1 p.m. to form the
procession which will get underway at
1:30. Bachelor degree recipients are ex-
pected to total about 1900 and advanced
degrees will be awarded to an estimated
1200 persons.
The traditional Torch Night cere-
mony takes place Friday evening, May
21, at 9 o’clock. Immediately afterward
the president’s reception for graduates
and families will be held in front of the
Campus Center on the podium level.
Those wishing to observe the ceremony
may take places in the area between
Colonial and State quadrangles on the
north side of the podium at the cere-
monial entrance.
Senior Week activities get underway
Tuesday, May 18, with a night at the
races from 6 to 11. The evening will begin
with a social hour and a buffet in the
Campus Center Ballroom, to be followed
by a bus trip to the Saratoga Racetrack.
A race will be named, and a trophy
presented, in honor of the Senior Class.
Senate Sessions
Senate will meet today at 3 p.m. in
the CC Assembly Hall. Three items of
new business are on the agenda. One is a
proposal from the Council on Edu-
cational Policies to change the name of
the School of Library Science to the
School of Library and Informational Sci-
ences. Another bill from that council calls
for a commitment to a university-wide
program of environmental studies.
A bill submitted by the Council on
Promotions and Continuing Appoint-
ments will seek Senate approval of guide-
lines governing those areas.
Senators elected for 1971-72 will
hold an organizational meeting on Thurs-
day at 1 p.m. in the CC Assembly Hall.
3100 To Receive Degrees
At May 22 Commencement
The next day there’ll be a clambake
and concert at the Mohawk Campus
starting at 1 p.m. A folk concert, to be
followed by a light supper, will begin at
6. Later a banjo band and rock band will
provide entertainment.
Thursday evening, May 20, a semi-
formal dinner dance, starting at 6:30, will
be held in the Thruway Hyatt House.
Dinner will be served at 7:45 in the Four
Seasons Room and in the Plantation
Room. The Otto Road Rock Band will
provide music for dancing until 2 a.m,
In the event of inclement weather on
Commencement Day, activities will take
place in the Physical Education Building.
If a change is to take place, local radio
stations will carry the announcement.
Closed circuit television coverage of the
program will be shown in the Lecture
Center.
Faculty To Vote
On Amendments
Two amendments to the Faculty
By-Laws dealing with student represen-
tation on the Senate will be voted upon
at a meeting of the full faculty on
Thursday at 9:30 a.m. in the CC Ball-
room. The amendments would extend
student representation on the Senate for
one year and would provide interim
procedures for the selection of graduate
student Senators.
Other items of business for the
meeting will be election of new members
of the faculty Committee on Nomi-
nations and Elections and reports to the
faculty on several issues. Ballots for the
committee election will be distributed at
the meeting.
Only members of the Voting Faculty
will be eligible to participate in the
election and amendment votes. The cur-
rent Committee on Nominations and
Elections has recently reevaluated all staff
members to determine whether they meet
the criteria for Voting Faculty. Although
no one has yet been officially notified of
his status, the committee will be prepared
to indicate at the meeting whether or not
a particular individual is eligible to vote.
Lecture on Changes in Graduate Education
“Changes in Graduate Education”
will be the topic of a lecture by Ann M.
Heiss at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the CC
Assembly Hall. Miss Heiss is currently on
the staff of the Carnegie Commission on
Higher Education. She is a former as-
sociate director of the Center for Re-
search and Development in Higher Edu-
cation at the Berkeley campus of the
University of California, She is speaking
under the sponsorship of SUNYA’s
Doctor of Arts Planning Group. All are
invited to attend.
The author of a recently published
book, Challenges to Graduate Schools,
Miss Heiss has done considerable research
on the characteristics and goals of gradu-
ate students and their implications for
changes in graduate education. Her
speech will emphasize the preparation of
graduate students for college teaching. It
will include proposals for change as well
as an analysis of the current situation.
Among the thoughts in Miss Heiss’s
book are the following: “Teaching should
be reinstated as a primary purpose and
responsibility of the university. Since
1940, when the federal government and
other off-campus agencies began to en-
gage the research skills of university
professors on a campus-wide scale, em-
phasis on teaching as a primary purpose
of the university has declined. At that
point, universities virtually changed from
being the teachers of teachers to become
the teachers of researchers.”
“A major task and responsibility of
the faculty is academic planning and
reform, However, the evidence is all too
clear that most faculty members lack
interest, creativity, and leadership in this
role.”
Following the speech, discussion will
be led by a panel including Albert
Berrian, associate commissioner of edu-
cation with the NYS Education Depart-
ment. On Wednesday, Miss Heiss will be
available for individual consultations.
Arthur Collins, HU 355, 7-8430, has
additional information.
Summer Students
To Study Spanish
In Cuernavaca
Arrangements have been concluded
for students to study Spanish in Mexico
at Cuernavaca, near Mexico City. The
location will be one branch of the larger
program called the Freshman Summer
Language Program sponsored by SUNYA.
The six-week period of intensive
Spanish study will begin July 5. Students
may earn between six and nine semester
hours of credit, dependent upon their
achievement. In addition to the regular
five hours of daily instruction and prac-
tice, four excursions into the surrounding
region will be made.
The FSLP students will take part in
the established Language Center in
Cuernavaca which is a part of the Centro
Intercultural de Documentacion. Al-
though the language study schedule is
demanding and full, some students may
wish to take part in some CIDOC activi-
ties or courses. Such participation would
be arranged and financed privately.
The inclusive cost of all the FSLP
locations is $750. Included are trans-
portation, tuition, room, and board,
Since no group travel is planned to
Cuernavaca, the cost of transfer from the
Mexico City Airport to Cuernavaca ($3)
must be paid by the individual. The
flexibility of travel allows students to
spend time in Mexico before or after the
program dates.
The FSLP sponsored by SUNYA is in
its third summer. The pilot program was
held in Germany in the summer of 1969
for 29 entering freshman students. In the
summer of 1970 the opportunity to
study another language intensively in
seven countries abroad was extended to
125 students.
The 1971 programs will be held at
the University of Caen, France; Goethe
Institut, Germany; University Italiana Per
Stranieri, Italy; University of Coimbra,
Portugal; Universities of Santiago and
LaCoruna, Spain; and Cuernavaca,
Mexico,

Dynamitron Accelerator
University Accepts New Accelerator
For Research Graduate Training
The Dynamitron Accelerator (lo-
cated at the basement of the northeast
corner of the academic podium) was
accepted (officially) by the university on
April 19, having satisfied the required
performance specifications.
The Dynamitron Accelerator,
manufactured by Radiation Dynamics of
Westbury, Long Island, is a direct current
voltage generator of a greatly improved
design, The maximum voltage that can be
achieved is 4 MV. The Albany accelerator
is the second accelerator of its type to be
used for nuclear research in the United
States. The first one has been in opera-
tion at the Argonne National Laboratory
for the past year.
The accelerator is capable of pro-
viding a beam of energetic particles such
as protons, deutrons, alpha particles and
neutrons which are the constituents of
nuclei, with variable energy of a few
kilo-electronvolts to a maxi
‘imum energy

7:30 to 10 at the Art Gallery. Other artists participating are Daniel Fantauzzi, Shirley
Penman, and Philip Spaziani.
of 4 million electron volts, and with
variable beam currents of 1 mu amp to
600 mu amp. The high intense beam of
particles can be used to study the basic
and applied properties of nuclei and
atoms in many interdisciplinary fields
such as physics, chemistry, biology, at-
mospheric sciences, and astronomy.
In addition to the main accelerator,
equipment for the detection of gamma
rays and x-rays, as well as electronic
circuits measurement, are also
available in the laboratory. There is also
the future possibility of producing bursts
of the particles (Ins to 20ns duration).
The research and graduate student
training program already has begun in the
field of nuclear physics with the acceler-
ator. It is anticipated that in the future
many promising lines of research and
independent study encompassing the ac-
quisition of valuable knowledge in basic
and applied sciences will be pursued by
the faculty and students of the university,
as well as of other university centers and
colleges within the SUNY system.

First Nurses
To Graduate
Thirteen graduating seniors will have
a double reason for remembering Com-
mencement Day. They will be the first
graduating class of the School of Nursing.
The new nurses will receive a Bache-
lor of Science in nursing and will be
eligible to take the state examination for
the registered professional nurse license
(RN).
The school admitted its first students
in 1967 and has grown each year since.
This year there are 20 junior students, 36
sophomores and about 40 freshmen.
Dean Dorothy Major said the school has
received almost 350 applications for next
year’s class, and that between 50 and 60
would be accepted.
Under the guidance of the 15-mem-
ber faculty, student nurses spend time in
a variety of settings; as they progress they
spend more time off campus observing
and practicing the type of work they will
be doing after graduation. Although there
are some laboratory facilities on campus,
most of the clinical nursing skills are
learned in field agencies, Dean Major said.
In Albany, students work at St.
Peter’s Hospital, the Capital District
Psychiatric Center, Child’s Hospital and
the Albany County Department of
Health. They also spend time at Sunny-
view Hospital and Ellis Hospital in
Schenectady, and the Cohoes branch of
the Albany County Department of
Health.
By their senior year, students spend a
total of two days a week off campus.
“This work is very similar to lab
work in other scientific disciplines,” Dean
Major said.
Although students at this level do
not specialize, she said, many indicate
interest in specific fields of nursing, such
as geriatrics, cardiology, maternal and
child health, and neurological nursing.
One graduate will enter the Army.
On the morning of graduation day
the students will attend a convocation
where they will receive their school pins
and hear an address by Mildred Schmidt,
secretary of the Board of Examiners of
Nurses of New York State.
Director of Libraries Describes
Present State of Library Budget
In a communication to all deans and
directors, Jonathan R. Ashton, director
of libraries, has reported as follows on the
present state of the library budget for
1971-72:
“The appropriation for acquisitions
is $538,393, a cut of $212,193 over last
year. However, there is an_ illusory
$200,000 ‘frozen,’ with little or no
chance of future thaw.
“Our on-going commitments for
journals, series, services, and other types
of continuing orders were $235,000 last
year. Ordinary increases plus the new
mail rates will bring that to at least
$260,000 for the year. We do not plan to
cancel any journal subscriptions at this
time.
“Blanket orders (Abel and others)
and standing orders (e.g. Beilstein and
numerous law series) came to approxi-
mately $100,000 in 1970-71. (Blanket
orders, $60,000; standing orders,
$40,000). Normally, we could expect a
15% increase in prices this year. However,
we will have to curtail selection by about
20%. Total to be expended: $80,000.
“Documents (U.S. and foreign)
reached the total of $20,000 in fiscal
1970-71 and will probably not decrease.
“We have on hand, in spite of the
freeze in December, some $85,000 in
vouchers to be processed. The ex-
planation of this sum is the fact that we
suffered alternate thaw and freeze on
some $200,000 in October and early
November. Between these two events, we
did some heavy ordering and now must
pay.
“In addition, orders stock-piled since
December and submitted to us in the last
three weeks total more than $75,000.
Some cancellations are still possible.
Therefore, we can reduce this somewhat,
possibly to $60,000.
“In round figures and allowing for
some further cuts, we have already com-
mitted $500,000. The only money
available to fill faculty requests and pur-
chase current materials will be $40,000
(Abel and other blanket orders, with the
sum reduced by the total 20% savings
proposed in the fourth paragraph of this
letter) and the remaining $38,393. This
loss will be skimpily divided among the
bibliographers.
“In effect, the $212,193 reduction
has had to come from the uncommitted
funds which normally would be under the
control of the bibliography staff in close
liaison with your faculty members.”
LUNCHEONS AND BANQUETS, whether sponsored by local alumni branch groups
or held in conjunction with annual all-alumni events, are popular ways of renewing
acquaintances with classmates and friends.
New Graduates To Join Ranks
Of Growing Alumni Association
On May 22, more than 1900 students
will receive degrees and join the ranks of
Albany’s 25,000 living alumni. As mem-
bers of an Alumni Association that has
been active since 1849, they will be asked
to stay in touch, to offer their support,
and to take advantage of the growing
number of services that are being offered
to alumni.
Originally organized as an association
of graduates for “the renewal of old
acquaintances and a cordial interchange
of those sentiments which unite all in one
common brotherhood,” the Albany alum-
ni have continued to offer their best
resources for the betterment and growth
of their alma mater.
Scholarships, fellowships, loan funds,
and awards have been the alumni’s major
continuing interest. However, their most
monumental project was the construction
of Sayles and Pierce halls. Through a
concentrated decade of work the resi-
dence halls were financed and con-
structed, and served as a model for the
State Dormitory Authority which later
took over the funding of New York State
college residence hall construction.
Income from the recent sale of those
halls is used by the Benevolent As-
sociation of SUNYA to offer more than
$30,000 worth of scholarships to Albany
students. An alumni fund drive in the
60’s provided the carillon chimes for the
tower on the uptown campus.
This year’s graduates will join an
Alumni Association that has grown much
in recent years. The graduates of the past
five years represent 35% of all living
alumni. Each year the number of alumni
ALUMNI WEEKEND, which has been scheduled in recent years
with whom the association communicates
increases by about 10%.
The services offered to an Albany
alumnus are many. Besides the regular
reunion opportunities such as Home-
coming and Alumni Day, he or she will
receive The Carillon, a quarterly news-
paper; may take advantage of a group
travel program; will be able to use certain
campus and off-campus facilities; may be
able to enroll in a group insurance. plan
currently under study, will receive a
lifetime placement service, and may con-
tact the Alumni Office for help in an-
swering questions or obtaining in-
formation.
Future plans include the publication
of an alumni directory, group purchasing
opportunities, and a continuing education
program, including summer alumni in-
stitutes, seminars in the Albany area, and
scholarly publications.
As the university’s growth slows and
as state funding slackens, the role of
alumni support is increasing in
portance. A committee, under the leader-
ship of Anthony Casale 69, currently is
making plans for an Annual Fund Drive
to begin in the 1971-’72 academic year.
The Alumni Association will attempt
im-
vigorously to gain personal and financial
support for the university so that worth-
while projects may be “seeded”, the
university may attract the support of
foundations and other funding agencies,
and Albany may continue to maintain its
standard of excellence.

School of Criminal Justice
To Award First Doctorate
The School of Criminal Justice ex-
pects to award its first doctorate soon,
only about one year after having gradu-
ated its first class.
Acting Dean Anthony Pasciuto said
Hyun Joo Shin, a student from Korea,
expects to finish all the requirements for
the Ph.D. by the end of the semester.
The school, which confers only grad-
uate degrees, graduated its first nine
students last June. When the program was
begun in 1969, only 16 students were
enrolled; now there are 79 students, 52 of
whom are doctoral students.
“It’s a rapidly expanding field,”
Pasciuto said, adding that he expected
enrollment next year to be near 100
students.
Shin, who is now doing research for
the University of Chicago Law School,
arrived in this country in 1966 after
earning a Master of Laws degree from the
Seoul National University. In 1967 he
was awarded a Master of Laws degree
from the Yale Law School and finished
his course work for the Ph.D. here last
year.
Unlike Shin, most criminal justice
students are not lawyers. Only three of
the present students hold law degrees.
“We expect to attract more lawyers in the
future,” Pasciuto said, “because the field
is becoming very attractive.”
“We've had very little trouble placing
our graduates,” he noted.
Doctoral students expect to do
teaching and research, while most
master’s degree students will work in
government, with police departments and
within court and correctional systems.
They will work as administrators, legal
Four Students Attend
National Conference
Four graduate students were chosen
to attend a national conference on re-
lations between the United States and the
Caribbean, The three-day conference,
held at Columbia University, discussed
political, social, and economic aspects of
United States-Caribbean relations. A pol-
icy statement was drafted yesterday at
the conclusion of the meeting.
Two of the SUNYA students, W
Nick Harrison and Shari Clayman, are
with the Center for Inter-American
Studies. The other two are Blanca S.
Pacheco, a history student, and Victor
Ruiz, a geography student, and both of
Puerto Rican descent.
The conference was sponsored by the
School of International Affairs at Colum-
g
researchers and analysts, court officers
and parole or corrections officers.
Among the students are 12 state and
local police officers in a federally-
sponsored program, known as the Police
and Corrections Executive Department
Fellowship Program, which will result in
their receiving master’s degrees in crimi-
nal justice.

Twenty-two Set
To Study Abroad
Twenty-two SUNYA students will
leave in July for a year’s study at the
University of Nice in France. They were
selected on the basis of good grades,
proficiency in the French language, and
recommendations from professors. About
45 students will take part in the program
offered by SUNYA.
On arrival at Nice, some students will
elect to live with French families while
others will reside in dormitories. The
program of study has been planned not
only to further the student’s work toward
the major but also to enrich the academic
experience with courses which provide an
insight into another culture and another
approach to higher education.
In the group from SUNYA will be
Valerie A. Filler, Elaine Egan, Ali Hazzah,
Wendy L. Nielsen, Nancy Ketz, Donna
Brown, Diane Lindars, Jeanne Jonientz,
Ruth Goldring, Lynn A, Carlin, Mary Elin
Korchinsky, Barbara Hale, Eric Cone,

Social Welfare Sets
Seminar on Aging
Anthony Rocha, professor of edu-
cation and director of the Institute of
Gerontology, will conduct a summer sem-
inar on aging and the aged, under the
sponsorship of the School of Social Wel-
fare. Sessions are scheduled for June 14
through June 18 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
Discussions will center around the
questions, “What do the aged need?” and
“Who needs them?”. Participants will
examine the phenomenon of aging and
the physical, emotional, financial, medi-
cal, sexual, legal, vocational, and familial
needs of the aged.
Existing programs and services will
be evaluated and new professional and
volunteer programs discussed. Studied
also will be the political and intellectual
power of 20 million senior citizens. New
and effective ways of channeling the
power will be examined.
Interest in the subject of aging and
the aged is the sole prerequisite for
participation. The seminar fee is $50.
Dane Sportsmen Winners
In Eight Varsity Seasons
1970-71 has been the most successful
year in Albany’s athletic history. Only
two of the university’s 10 varsity teams
have suffered losing seasons, while Great
Dane athletes have won more contests
than ever before.
Varsity records through Apr. 24,
with two weeks of the spring season
remaining: cross country 10-3, soccer
3-8-1, basketball 17-5, wrestling 9-2,
swimming 2-11, baseball 6-1-1, lacrosse
-2, track and field 6-0, tennis 5-1, and
golf 3-2.
Pictorial Essay
Marks Yearbook
Copies of the 1971 TORCH will be
distributed today and tomorrow only
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the tunnel
window of the Bookstore. The price is $1
with two semesters of student tax or $10
without tax, After tomorrow, no copies
of the book will be available until Sep-
tember.
The 320-page yearbook contains a
section of senior photos and a pictorial
essay of campus happenings from mid-
April, 1970, through Feb. 20, 1971. The
editor, Martin Benjamin, explained that
the early deadline made inclusion of
many spring activities impossible. Events
such as the Telethon, State Fair, spring
concerts and rallies, and the 1971 com-
mencement should be covered in next
year’s book.
Benjamin stated that it was his intent
to reflect the temper of the times and to
portray the university as part of a larger
community. Consequently, the photo
essay section included pictures of Viet-
nam, national events, and the Albany area
as well as campus scenes.
Benjamin also explained that the $1
charge to student taxpayers was necessary
to make up a $5,000 difference between
the Student Association appropriation
and the actual cost of the book. Fifty-five
hundred copies of the yearbook were
printed.
Tenure in the ’70’s
AAUP Meeting Topic
The question of tenure will be dis-
cussed Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 in
Lecture Center 11 under the leadership of
Webb Fiser of the Graduate School of
Public Administration, “The Meaning of
Tenure in the 1970’s” will be a feature of
the annual meeting of the SUNYA
chapter of the American Association of
University Professors.
Prior to the discussion there will be a
short business meeting. Election of sev-
eral of the chapter officers also will take
place. Holdover officers are Dr. Fiser,
president-elect, and Marion Motisher, of
the University Library, treasurer.
The meeting is open to all interested
members of the university community.
Questions of tenure modification and
whether tenure should be granted will be
discussed.

1968-69, even without counting the 26
contests scheduled after Apr. 24,
Along the way, several squads have
established standards against which their
successors will be measured. Bob
Munsey’s harriers posted their ninth
straight winning season and ran the all-
time cross-country mark to a fantastic
TT-AS.
The wrestlers, under Joe Garcia, set
records for victories (9), consecutive wins
(9), points (273), and winning percentage
(818).
The basketball team enjoyed its 16th
straight season of .500 or better and its
seventh winning year in a row. Doc
Sauers’ cagers tied a 44-year-old record
for consecutive victories at the end of a
season, copping their last 10.
Lacrosse, in only its second varsity
season, already has won more games than
in its maiden campaign. The rampaging
track team is shooting for its second
straight undefeated year, the baseball
team has a chance to break the 11-win
record set two years ago, and the tennis
team has lost just twice in its last 27
matches.
The impressive figures take on added
significance in light of the fact that
Albany demands high academic per-
formance from its athletes and offers
them no special aid. The outstanding
records are a tribute both to the students
who compete and the men who coach
them.
Round the Campus
Six SUNYA students who volunteered to assist in the office of State Senator Donald
Halpern this spring will be shown in an NBC televised newscast May 22. They had
responded to an appeal published in this column early in March and Senator Halpern’s
office has informed the Tribune that the student aides were “marvelous and faithful”,
adding a request for more next year. . .Lawrence W. Pierce, of the School of Criminal
Justice faculty, has been nominated by President Nixon for a U. S. District Court
