Senate To Consider Bill
On Promotions and Tenure
A bill proposing changes in the uni-
yersity’s policies concerning promotions
and continuing appointments will be
brought before this afternoon’s meeting
of University Senate at 3:00 in the Cam-
pus Center Assembly Hall. The bill, sub-
mitted by the Executive Committee upon
recommendation from the Council on
Promotions and Continuing Appoint-
ments, was on the agenda for the Novem-
ber Senate meeting, but did not reach the
floor due to the lengthy debate on under-
graduate grading.
In general, the bill seeks to overcome
criticisms of the present system of tenure
and promotion by establishing several cri-
teria to be considered when planning the
promotion and tenure procedure. The
major criteria may be summarized as fol-
lows:
1. the right of the candidate to a fair
hearing by his peers, due process, and ap-
peal to a more broadly representative
body; 2. the concern of the department
for a program that satisfies high profes-
sional standards; 3. the need for a process
which maintains a high standard of selec-
tion; 4, the concern that the process not
devalue good teaching; and 5. the impor-
tance of student input in the process.
The text of the proposed bill and a
rationale from the council appear on page

There are no other bills on the Sen-
ate’s agenda, but among the reports of
councils and committees is one from the
Council on Promotions and Continuing

tion to Japanese Court Poetry. Addition-
ally, he is the editor and compiler of the
University of California edition of Dry-
den’s works and co-editor of a selection
of Japanese poetic diaries.
Friday morning Professor Miner will
talk informally with students, and per-
haps classes, from 10 until noon in the
Humanities Lounge.
Paul Manor of the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem will speak on “The Military
Establishment in Brazil” on Friday at 2
p.m. in ED 335. There will be a discus-
sion period following his presentation.
Professor Manor, a leading scholar of
Brazilian history, will be on campus as
part of his first lecture tour of the United
States which will take him to 10 other
American universities from New York to
California. His visit here is sponsored by
the Center for Inter-American Studies,
the Department of History, the Graduate
School of Public Affairs, and the Depart-
ment of Judaic Studies.
Today at 4 p.m. in LC 12 there will
be a Chemistry Colloquium lecture. Math-
ematics Colloquium lectures are set for
ES 152 at 4 p.m. Wednesday and Friday.
Appointments. The council has author-
ized an ad hoc committee to advise the
council concerning application of criteria
for promotion and continuing appoint-
ment to faculty members whose responsi-
bilities are somewhat different from the
usual academic position. Librarians, cam-
pus school teachers, and physical educa-
tion staff would be among those affected
by the committee’s recommendations.
Holiday Sing
Set for Sunday
The annual Holiday Sing competition
will be held in University Gym at 7 p.m.,
Sunday. This year’s theme is “Fantasia”
and at least 24 groups are expected to
perform.
In addition to the traditional awards
for first, second, and third place, two
“Chairmen’s Trophies” will be given to
the groups judged best in originality and
spirit. The same group may not win both
awards.
Following the competition, everyone
is invited to a reception in the Campus
Center Ballroom, beginning at approxi-
mately 10:30. The winning groups will
give encore performances and Neil
Brown’s Band will entertain. Refresh-
ments will be served.
About half of the participating
groups in the Holiday Sing competition
will be representing fraternities and soror-
ities. Among others entered are various
dormitory groups, the Jewish Student
Coalition, Ukranian students, and Sayles
International Students.
Each group will sing one selection,
on which it will be judged for interpreta-
tion and expression, dynamics, harmony,
diction, and stage presence. Five semi-
finalists then will be chosen to perform a
second number, before the three places
are awarded.
Judges for the competition will be
Drew Hartzell and Marjory Fuller of the
Department of Music; Sorrell Chesin, uni-
versity affairs; Lois Gregg, student affairs;
and Alice Corbin, student activities,
Co-chairmen for Holiday Sing are

Proposed Bill To Revise Promotion System
Senate Bill -04 (Council on Promo-
tions and Continuing Appointments) was
on the agenda for the Nov. 6 meeting;
however, due to the press of other busi-
ness, the Senate was not able to consider
the proposal. This bill will be brought be-
fore the governing body at its meeting
today; no discussion or action has yet
taken place.
Rationale
I. PREFACE
Criticisms of the present system of
tenure and promotion are based on the
arguments that colleagues of a candidate
in his own department can better evaluate
the quality of his work than can a council
composed of people from different disci-
plines. A further argument is that the uni-
versity has “matured” enough so that
there no longer needs to be pressure on
most of the departments to raise their
standards. As a result of this criticism
some want to abolish the Council on Pro-
motions and Continuing Appointments.
There are others who want to maintain
the procedure as it now exists because de-
partmental decisions are sometimes
clouded by personal biases. Rather than
commit ourselves to one of these posi-
tions or the other, we proposed to start
from the position that there are several
criteria to be considered and that a pro-
gram can be developed which best
satisfies these criteria.
There are several criteria to be con-
sidered when planning the promotion and
tenure procedure: (1) the right of the
candidate to have a fair hearing by his
peers, due process, and appeal to a more
broadly representative body; (2) the con-
cern of the department for a program
which satisfies professional standards of
the discipline; (3) the need for a process
which benefits the university by main-
taining a high standard of selection; (4)
the concern that the selection process not
devalue good teaching; and (5) that stu-
dents have some input.
These are the major criteria. There
are several other aspects of the current
situation which may have some bearing
on our suggested plan. The Council on
Promotions and Continuing Appoint-
ments is terribly overworked and their de-
cisions could be more carefully made if
the number of cases coming to them
could be cut.

Campus Plan Undertaken
By Long Range Task Force
The Long Range Planning Task
Force, an advisory group appointed last
spring by President Benezet to prepare
enrollment projections for the next five
years, completed that task in mid-sum-
mer. It is now involved in preparing a lo-
cal plan, in conjunction with the SUNY
statewide master plan, that will reach be-
yond enrollment numbers to treat ques-
tions of program development and ad-
ministrative policy. The task force has
been asked to prepare a preliminary
campus plan for the president and the
Council on Educational Policy.
In an interim response last month,
the task force noted certain distinctions
between the new statewide plan and its
1968 predecessor. While agreeing that any
master plan must be aimed at multiple
goals—educational soundness, responsive-
ness to changing social needs and indi-
vidual aspirations, financial feasibility,
and administrative practicality—the task
force suggested that this year’s model re-
flects a more cautious and less expansive
approach to institutional development.
“Programmatically, there is a heavier
emphasis on undergraduate instruction,
on regionalization, and on self-financed
innovation,” wrote the task force in a
recent communication to the EPC.
“Administratively, there is a pronounced
concern for accountability and effective
management of resources, including
space; and there is a clear indication that
historic tenure policies will soon come
under close review. In sum, the plan sug-
gests that we need to recognize locally a
different world from 1968 and proceed
to reconcile previous plans and objectives
in that light.”
On Nov. 9, detailed instructions were
received on campus for preparation of the
local response to the SUNY master plan.
The were accompanied by a tight time
schedule that requires a preliminary draft
to be submitted to Central Staff by Jan.
5. Due to the specific nature of the in-
structions, and their adherence to the
framework of the SUNY master plan, the
task force anticipated a two-pronged
approach to campus planning.
The first, as dictated by Central Staff
instructions, will be aimed at providing a
framework for local development that ap-
propriately touches all bases of the state-
wide plan. The second, reflecting the
processes by which campus activities are
planned and implemented, will be direc-
ted at local issues of program priorities
and administrative support.
“It is not enough to lay out a series
of appealing new programs,” observed
Dwight Smith, Jr., chairman of the task
force. “We must also develop mechanisms
for allocating resources and decentralizing
decision-making through which program
development will appear as attractive an
option as program continuity.”
The task force now is developing a
set of priority questions that can be con-
sidered by the EPC as the basis for a local
plan. Other members of the task force are
Sorrell Chesin, university affairs; Jay
Goldman, undergraduate; John Hartigan,
controller; Helen Horowitz, economics;
Peter Idleman, general studies; Edward
Jennings, president’s office; Robert
McFarland, graduate studies;Harry Wall-
ing, graduate student; and Roy Speck-
hard, public affairs.

Cagers Face Utica Tonight;
Home Win Streak on Line
The home basketball season opens
tonight against one of six teams that beat
Albany last year, Utica College. The
Great Danes, who opened at Stony Brook
Saturday, have a two-year, 19-game home
court winning streak,
Senior center-forward Werner Kolln
is recovering from a bout with mononu-
cleosis, so coach Dick Sauers probably
will start Bob Curtiss at center, with jun-
iors Byron Miller and Reggie Smith at the
forwards, and seniors John Quattrocchi
and Bob Rossi at guard. Dave Welchons
and Harry Johnson are the top reserves in
the backcourt and frontcourt, respec-
tively.
Utica, which blitzed the Danes last
winter, 86-69, en route to a 13-7 season,
has several returning veterans and highly-
touted transfers. Key men to watch are
guard Ricky Williams from Broome Com-
munity College, and holdovers Dave
Owen and Marty Shiel. Shiel scored 21
points against Albany a year ago.
Cortland visits here Friday evening
for the first SUNYAC game. Conference
contests are crucial because the champion
will receive an NCAA tournament bid.
Albany can’t afford a loss, with strong
competition expected from Brockport
and Potsdam for the title.
The varsity games start at 8:30 both
nights, preceded by 6:30 JV contests
against Mohawk Valley tonight and RPI
on Friday.
ste
Coach Joe Garcia’s wrestlers also
have a pair of home matches upcoming,
as they will host Williams this Saturday.
