The appearance of the Lake George
Festival at SUNYA is an outgrowth of the
Opera Workshop program in which
SUNYA staff and opera company mem-
bers have been participating. “We all felt
that having the performances by the Lake
George Company on campus would be
the perfect climax to the Opera Work-
shop from a students’ point of view,” said
David Lloyd, general director of the
Opera Festival. He also noted that it pro-
vides a more convenient opportunity for
people in the Capital District area to see
the performances.

Campus Hosts
SPAC Musie
A series of chamber music concerts,
originally scheduled to be held on Mon-
day evenings at Canfield Casino in Sara-
toga, will be presented instead at
SUN YA’s Performing Arts Center. Part of
“Saratoga Festival 72,” sponsored by the
Saratoga Performing Arts Center, the con-
certs were cancelled in a dispute with the
local musicians’ union.
The first concert will be tonight at 8:30
p.m, in the PAC Recital Hall. The Philarte
Quartet will present works of Haydn,
Crumb, and Ravel. Tickets will be availa-
ble at the door and are $2.50 for this and
all subsequent performances.
Les Petits Chanteurs de Paris Chaillot, a
boychoir of 70 voices, will perform on
Monday, Aug. 7. The DePasquale String
Quartet is slated for Monday, Aug. 14.
Programs have yet to be announced.
The final concert in the series will be on
Monday, Aug. 21. The Philadelphia
Baroque Quartet will perform works by
Quantz, Celdara, d’Andrieu, Corelli, Per-
golesi, and Mazzaferrata.
Nathan Gottschalk, chairman of the
department of music, handled the ar-
rangements for SUNYA’s co-sponsoring
of the concerts. Richard P. Leach, execu-
tive director of SPAC, said that the center
was indebted to both Dr. Gottschalk and
the university for their hospitality. He
noted that for the first time in seven sum-
mers, the concerts will be performed in
air-conditioned comfort.
Mr. Leach also thanked John Costas,
president of the Albany local musicians’
union, who “has given the center and the
university the fullest possible cooperation
in the temporary relocation of our cham-
ber music series.”
Bookstore To Expand Operations,
Establish Separate Shop for Cards
The Bookstore is expanding its greeting
card selection and moving that phase of
its operation into the area now occupied
by the barber shop, According to Book-
store Manager Arnold Colon, the new
facility will open as soon as renovations
are completed, but definitely before the
start of the fall term. The wall which sep-
arated the barber shop and the defunct
beauty shop has been relocated to form
Nursing Projects
Plans are to use the grant money to
develop an in-service education program
to advance the skills of licensed practical
nurses employed in area nursing homes;
to begin a program this fall, in cooper-
ation with the Educational Opportunities
Program, to recruit and retain nursing
applicants from educationally and finan-
cially deprived backgrounds; and to sup-
port efforts of the School of Nursing to
serve as the center of the consortium of
nursing programs in the Upstate New
York region.
two nearly-equal rooms. The barber shop
will occupy the area where the beauty
shop was — i., the western half — and
the greeting card shop will be housed in
the eastern half, nearest the Bookstore.
“Our greeting card business has ex-
panded so much that we’ve run out of
space,” Mr. Colon explains. “By moving
it, we not only can expand our selection
of cards, but also free Bookstore space
for other items. We plan to expand prima-
rily in personal and gift items.”
Marta Santiago, a graduate of SUNYA
with a master’s in public administration,
has been named manager of the gift de-
partment. The Bookstore itself has been
rearranged with the objective of creating
greater shopper appeal and ease of move-
ment.
The American Greeting Card Company
is providing display fixtures and the inter-
ior decoration scheme for the new shop,
which will operate on the same new
schedule as the Bookstore this fall: 8
a.m.-8 p.m., Monday; 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Tues-
day-Friday; and 9 a.m.-1 p.m., Saturday.
