Summer Activities Program thus making
continuance of the special activities pos-
sible after recent budget cutbacks.
The sorority, one of the oldest on
campus, is also one of the most active. Its
reputation for support of university pro-
jects prompted the request for assistance
from the Summer Activities Program
staff.

~ Summer Session Enrollment
To Exceed 5,000 Students
More than 5,000 students are ex-
pected to register for credit courses of-
fered during the summer session. Director
David W. Martin reports the estimated en-
rollment represents about a 10 percent in-
crease over the 1970 total.
In excess of 600 different courses are
being offered on all levels from freshman
through doctorate. There will be more
non-credit courses than previously in the
College of General Studies for those not
working toward a degree. Fifty courses
are scheduled in the evening.
Of the 291 faculty scheduled to
teach here this summer, 45 are visitors
from universities throughout the United
States and several are from other nations.
Among the foreign countries represented
are Sweden, the Union of South Africa,
and Canada.
Included in the summer faculty are
several men who have gained national rec-
ognition in their respective fields. E.
Maynard Adams, Department of Phi-
losophy, University of North Carolina,
and Clyde E. Noble, Department of
Psychology, University of Georgia, are
two such authorities. Dr. Noble’s speciali-
zation is in the study of experimental
psychology and verbal learning.
A number of special programs high-
light the summer curriculum. A program
of theatre study in Great Britain is spon-
sored jointly by the university and the
Association for Cultural Exchange, a
British organization chartered in New
York State. SUNYA and the SU College
of Forestry at Syracuse University will
conduct a program in environmental biol-
ogy at the Cranberry Lake Biological Sta-
tion in the Adirondacks.
Also, the Lake George Opera Com-
pany joins the university in conducting
summer programs in opera. An eight-
Salkever To Head Graduate Studies
Louis R. Salkever, professor of eco-
nomics and departmental chairman, has
been designated by President Benezet as
acting dean of the Office of Graduate
Studies.
President Benezet noted in a memo-
randum to deans, directors, and depart-
ment chairmen that, on the basis of
recommendations from the search com-
mittee and consultation with Vice Presi-
dent for Academic Affairs Phillip
Sirotkin, he recommended to Chancellor
Boyer and the SUNY Board of Trustees
that Professor Salkever be appointed as
dean of graduate studies effective Aug.
26.
Professor Salkever, who also is as-
sociated with the Department of Afro-
American Studies, joined the faculty in
1965. He has served as chairman of the
New York State Council on Economic
Education and is a past president of the
New York State Economics Association.
In 1967 he was executive director of the
Committee on Labor, Civil Service and
Public Pensions of the New York State
Constitutional Convention.
Before coming to SUNYA, Dr,
Salkever was chairman of the economics
department at State University College at
New Paltz and chairman of the college’s

week summer language program will in-
clude programs in France, Germany,
Spain, and Italy. A course in the “Steady
State Society” will be offered in con-
junction with the Institute on Man and
Science at Rensselaerville.
The Saratoga Performing Arts Center
will cooperate in several cultural pro-
grams by admitting students as guests at
certain performances. A children’s theatre
workshop will be held in conjunction
with a course in youth theatre pro-
duction. The first summer environmental
forum will be offered. Students from
Grambling College in Louisiana are here
for a program in undergraduate research
in physics.
Report of HEW
Cites Job Bias
Women and members of minority
groups are hired less often than are white
males to work at SUNYA. When they are
hired they are generally paid less, serve in
lower positions, and achieve tenure less
frequently.
Such were the findings of a Com-
pliance Review conducted by the Depart-
ment of Health, Education, and Welfare
on Apr. 13-15. A subsequent report cites
24 specific deficiencies in the area of
equal employment. Five instances are re-
lated to the university’s implementation
of equal employment opportunity guide-
lines; 19 involve unfavorable comparisons
between women, minority workers, and
white males on the basis of salaries, job
levels, and tenure.
For example, the report alleged that
there were only three minority group
members and four females in the salary
bracket of $20,000 a year or higher as
opposed to 168 males, It also noted that
of new faculty hired last year, only five
percent were from minority groups and
only 20% were women,
A letter from President Benezet to
HEW acknowledged the university’s de-
ficiencies in most areas, although he did
correct some figures and cited explana-
tions for others. University records indi-
cate 13 minority group members and
eight women are earning $20,000 or over
compared with 168 males.
He noted that minority group faculty
and women are concentrated in the De-
partment of Afro-American Studies and
the School of Nursing. Both are relatively
new academic units whose members have
not yet had time to achieve tenure or
move up in job and salary level.
He also noted that a stringent budget
for 1971-72 will negate the university’s
ability to make salary adjustments or to
do extensive hiring. Nevertheless, he
stated the university’s resolve to correct
the deficiencies as soon as possible. A
plan of Affirmative Action will be pre-
pared in accordance with requirements of
the HEW.
Failure to follow a program of equal
employment opportunity can result in
the termination of all federal grants, as
demonstrated recently at the University
of Michigan. SUNYA was one of four
“test” campuses of SUNY visited by the
HEW compliance team,
Prints Exhibited
In Art Gallery
A large exhibition of contemporary
prints will open the summer exhibition
program of the Art Gallery today. The
exhibition, called “Artist’s Choice”, will
show works by 30 artists.
Fifteen distinguished artists, who
have made major contributions to Ameri-
can printmaking, were invited to recom-
mend a fellow printmaker who they felt
would benefit from exposure in a major
exhibition. Their choices range from out-
standing students to respected colleagues.
No restrictions were placed on the recom-
mended artists. The works submitted
were in almost all cases selected by the
participants, many of whom are ex-
hibiting in their first major show.
In the exhibition “prints” has been
defined in broad context to include
multiple objects, banners, and con-
structions in addition to the many adap-
tations of more traditional techniques.
Ninety works in all are included. Partici-
pating artists include Garo Antresian,
Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschen-
berg.
The exhibition, organized by Robert
Bero, assistant professor of art at SU Col-
lege at Potsdam, will remain here through
July 18 and may be seen from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 7
to 9 p.m. on Wednesday evenings. The
gallery will be closed on Saturdays and
Sundays during the summer months.
Best Teacher Named
The student opinion committee of
the Department of Physics has named
Professor Robert P. Lanni “Teacher of
the Year’ and George Tzelepis “Graduate
Teaching Assistant of the Year”. Honor-
able mentions went to Professors Bruce
Marsh and Akira Inomata and to graduate
students Allen Jones and Michael King.
The awards were made primarily on
the basis of responses to a questionnaire
used by the student opinion committee
to evaluate teachers and courses in the
physics department. This year is the first
time the committee has been operative. It

Frosh, Transfers Slated To Attend
13 Summer Orientation Sessions
More than 2,200 students will be at-
tending sessions of the 1971 Summer
Planning Conference here. The con-
ference, initiated in 1964, involves eight
three-day sessions for freshmen and five
two-day and one-day orientation periods
for transfer students during the weeks of
July 5 through Aug. 3. New students in
the fall will include about 1,600 freshmen
and 600 transfers.
Ralph W. Beisler, assistant dean for
student life, reports that an innovation
this year has been an invitation from Neil
C. Brown, Jr., dean for student life, to
parents to attend a special program on
the opening days of the conference ses-
sions. At that time Dean Brown will be
joined by several teaching and adminis-
trative faculty. Brief presentations about
the university will be followed by a ques-
tion-and-answer period.
Another innovation this year has
been a picnic for freshmen at the Mo-
hawk Campus with university personnel
Senator Mark Hatfield (third from bottom on right) gave the commencement address
on “The Rebirth of Spirit’. He called for a “spiritual renaissance...a revolution of
values”. Among the graduates was Sherrie Moore (inset), the first student enrolled
under the Educational Opportunities Program to be graduated from SUNYA. She will
continue at Albany as a graduate student in the School of Education.
learning situation. Throughout the session
staff members are responsible for a
variety of activities including academic
advisement, counseling and discussion
meetings, registration, and other official
functions. Much of the program is ad-
ministered and conducted by university
students who are selected as conference
assistants.
Serving as coordinators for the con-
ference are Howard D. Woodruff and
Suzanne S. Pierce. Mrs. Judith E. Lewis is
assistant coordinator. All are residence di-
rectors,
Non-Credit Courses

ture. Alex Markhoff, of the art faculty, is
the instructor.
Sherrie Sheldon will instruct in ballet
for 10 sessions and classes in jewelry de-
sign are under the direction of Kenneth
Welch, also of the art faculty.
A six-session course in modern in-
vesting is being led by Joseph Donohue,
an account executive. Getting underway
today is intermediate English for speakers
of other languages and advanced English
for speakers of other languages. In-
structors are Beatrice Legere and Linda
Goehner.
Other courses are in ceramics, photo-
graphy, reading improvement, painting
with acrylics, and highway safety, and
there is a seminar on the 1971 program at
the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. De-
tailed information is available from the
College of General Studies.
Barometer Given
The university has received the gift
of an historical barometer, originally
owned by Henry P. Smith, a member of
the New York State Legislature in the
mid-1800’s. The aneroid barometer was
given by Charles Pennypacker Smith, of
San Francisco.
President Benezet accepted the ba-
rometer on behalf of the university at a
private reception held in the mezzanine
of the library. Also participating in the
ceremony was Vice President for Re-
search Earl G. Droessler.
Mr. Smith and Henry P. Smith, 3rd,
of Erie, great-grandchildren of the state
legislator, attended the ceremony. The
latter is the U. S. Representative from the
40th Congressional District.

Officers Chosen;
Taxes Approved
Michael Lampert, a junior, has been
elected president of the Student As-
sociation for 1971-72. Terry Wilbert, a
senior, was elected vice president. Both
were victorious in an original six-man race
and a subsequent run-off election held
this spring.
Officers of Central Council are
Richard Liese, chairman, and Festus
Joyce, vice chairman. They were the first
to be elected under a new constitution
adopted early in the spring semester.
Formerly, the SA president and vice
president had also been president and vice
president of Central Council.
By a vote of 1,138-658, students ap-
proved a mandatory activities tax. A man-
datory athletic tax was approved by a
vote of 1,136-628. Both votes were con-
ducted in accordance with a SUNY Board
of Trustees ruling requiring such a refer-
endum at all SUNY units. A similar refer-
endum is to be held every four years.
By voting for mandatory taxes, stu-
dents in effect have agreed to use the
funds only to support programs within
guidelines specified by the trustees. Presi-
dent Benezet will have the responsibility
of reviewing all student government
budgets to determine that allocations and
distributions are in compliance with
trustees’ policy.
1971-72 Senate Organized,
Ready for Business in Fall
Albany’s 1971-72 Senate officially

representatives to the Senate.
The SUNY Senate functions as a
communications channel between the fac-
ulty and the SUNY Chancellor and Board
of Trustees. It also facilitates co-
ordination among the various SUNY
units. The full Senate meets at least twice
a year, and the Executive Committee
meets monthly.
SUNYA’s current representatives to
the SUNY Senate are Morris Berger,
Shirley Brown, and Alfred Finkelstein,

Spring Program
At English Site
The University of Manchester in Eng-
land and SUNYA are offering a Master of
Science program in curriculum planning
and development that will feature a fall
semester here and a spring semester in
Manchester.
Here students will examine curricu-
lum foundations and theory. In England
they will explore English views with the
Manchester staff, participate in activities
of the Northwest England Curriculum De-
velopment Project, team teach in English
schools, and pursue a comparative edu-
cation tour to selected countries on the
continent. The focus will be on English
open primary programs in inner city
racial-ethnic mix schools. Dates are Jan.
15-May 15, including a five-week break
for the planned travel.
Applications will be accepted until
July 15 with registration limited to 15
students. Students registered in university

Student Service Praised
Editor’s Note: The following editorial, entitled “Service by the Students”, appeared in
the May 19 edition of the Albany Times-Union and is reprinted with permission from
that paper.
ITEM: State University at Albany and the
city itself honor hundreds of students for
scores of community service projects at
an afternoon reception on campus.
It is not often recognized because of
its fragmented nature, but the amount of
community service performed by area
college students adds up to a huge total.
For students at Albany State University,
their contributions were recognized on
Tuesday with an afternoon reception at
which both President Louis T. Benezet
and Albany’s Mayor Corning paid tribute
for this service.
More than 700 students receive aca-
demic credit for community involvement
in the formal programs operating through
the Albany State Office of Innovative and
Developmental Programs. These involve
53 participating agencies throughout the
Capital District.
Activities include tutoring inner-city
youngsters, work with Albany As-
sociation for the Blind, Consumers Com-
plaint Bureau, League of Women Voters,
Red Cross, United Black Parents, Jewish
Community Center and many others.
More than 30 students serve as assistants
in wards and laboratories at Albany Medi-
cal Center Hospital.
In addition is the Student Volunteer
Service Program—purely voluntary, non-
credit activity—which provides fund-
raising activity for more than a score of
other worthy causes. With more than 300

the annual Telethon this year raised
$7,500 for the National Society for Au-
tistic Children. Other beneficiaries have
been Hope House, the South End drug
rehabilitation center; leukemia research,
Eden Park Nursing Home, the Red Cross,
Trinity Institute, St. Catherine’s Home
and many others. Activities- range from
walk-a-thons to clothing appeals, parties,
fasts and blood collections. On May 1,
members of the Beta Phi Sigma fraternity
planted 800 red pines in the area
bordering the campus lake and baseball
field.
Completely unrecorded, of course,
are the numerous individual acts of ser-
vice by students who coach area Little
League teams or get involved in such
things as water safety courses.
Tuesday afternoon’s program was a
laudable effort to erase the image of “col-
lege student” as a “wild-eyed, no-good
radical,” by giving him credit for a fine
record of public service. Albany and its
neighbor communities should be thankful
the students are here.
Grant Awarded
For Development
The School of Criminal Justice has
received a three-year, $658,000 grant
from the National Science Foundation.
The award was made under the NSF Re-
search Applied to National Needs pro-
gram.
Dean Richard A. Myren said the
funds will be used “for general support of
the development of research capabilities
of the school.” “We have developed
slowly and steadily, with careful plan-
ning,” said Dean Myren, “and this grant
will help further our research programs.”
Over the three-year period, the NSF
funds will provide for nine additional fac-
ulty members, six post-doctoral fellow-
ships, 40 graduate student fellowships, six
positions for technical personnel, and sec-
retarial support. Library resources, com-
puter time, and equipment also will be
funded through the grant.
Among the new equipment will be a
unique mobile experimental decision-
making laboratory, which also will serve
as an interviewing facility. The mobile/1
lab will facilitate on-the-spot study at cor-
rection institutions, law enforcement
agencies, and other criminal justice es-
tablishments.
