Students Form
Night Patrols
For Residences
A student security patrol program
will begin in the near future in an effort
to assist the university security force and
hopefully to reduce crime in the resi-
dence areas. The program will involve five
teams of two students each, patrolling the
residence quadrangles six hours a night,
seven nights a week. The students, who
will be paid $2.00 an hour, will be super-
vised by a full-time security officer.
The primary responsibility of the
patrols will be to extend the “eyes and
ears” of security. The students will not be
expected to apprehend anyone, but rath-
er to report any suspicious or unusual be-
havior to their supervisor.
Any interested student can obtain an
application form from the CC Informa-
tion Desk and should return it to the Se-
curity Office as soon as possible.
The student patrol program is a pilot
project which is funded through the end
of the present academic year. At that
time, an evaluation will be made to deter-
mine its effectiveness in relation to the
funding required.
Both the Office of Residences and
the Security Office are cooperating in the
project. Further information may be ob-
tained from either office.
Committee Seeks
Associate Dean
A search committee has been named
to find a successor to Paul F. Wheeler
who has resigned as associate dean of the
Division of Social and Behavioral Sci-
ences. Kendall Birr has been appointed as
interim associate dean until June 30.
On the committee are Mark Mon-
monier, geography; Gershon Collier and

The committee will meet tomorrow
at 3 p.m. with Dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences presiding until a chair-
man has been elected.
Dr. Wheeler, who has returned to
teaching, had served as an associate dean
since April 1968, described by Dean
Hunsberger as a “long period of dis-
tinguished service.”
Reading Band Begins
A Reading Band is being formed and
is tentatively planning to meet on Tues-
days at 3:15 p.m. All members of the uni-
versity community with a few years of
playing experience are ‘nvited to join. No
auditions will be required. Those interest-
ed in joining are asked to contact Charles

GERALD ELSE
Danforth Lecturer
Visiting Lecturer
To Give 4 Talks
Gerald F. Else, a distinguished classi-
cist who is now director of the Center for
Coordination of Ancient and Modern
Studies at the University of Michigan, will
be on campus Thursday and Friday as a
Danforth Visiting Lecturer. Dr. Else also
is professor of Greek and Latin in the
Michigan university’s department of
classical studies and served as chairman
for several years.
On Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in the Re-
cital Hall of the Performing Arts Center
Dr. Else will give a public lecture on
“What Use Are Foreign Languages?” That
evening at 8 he will give a convocation
talk on “The Humanities in a Changing
World” in LC 7.
The following morning at 10 in
Studio Theater 1 of the PAC the visiting
lecturer will discuss “What Does the Ro-
man Empire Mean to Us?”. In the after-
noon at 2 at the same place he will dis-
cuss “Some Thoughts on Greek Drama”.
The visiting lecturers program, under
which Dr. Else will be coming here with
the cooperation of the School of Edu-
cation, was initiated in 1957 by the Arts
Program of the American Association of
American Colleges and is supported by a
grant from the Danforth Foundation. Its
purpose is to assist colleges in their ef-
forts to strengthen liberal education.
New Governance By-Laws
Undergo Further Revisions
Consideration of the proposed new
by-laws for university governance oc-
cupied the whole of the Senate’s special
meeting last Monday. Many questions
were raised about them, and at the end of
the meeting they were returned to the
Governance Commission with the request
that the commission incorporate sug-
gested changes as they saw fit and resub-
mit the revised document to the Senate in
the near future.
A good share of the questions con-
cerned representation for various
constituent groups both on the Senate it-
self and on its councils and committees.
Another point of contention was that
members of the Committee on Nomi-
nations and Elections would come en-
tirely from Senate members. Still others
felt that powers and duties assigned to
various councils and committees were not
clear.
Two groups have already submitted
written suggestions for changes to the
commission. A resolution from the State
University Professional Association has
requested greater participation for non-
teaching professionals. A Personnel Poli-
cies Council/Senate Professional As-
sociation Joint By-Law Committee has
submitted five pages of suggested changes
in both the by-laws and the grievance pro-
cedures.
All interested groups and individuals
are invited to submit written proposals
for consideration by the Governance
SPC Help Wanted
Undergraduates interested in be-
coming conference assistants for the 1972
Summer Planning Conference are now in-
vited to apply. Applications are available

Students from Campuses Statewide
To Confer on 1972 Master Plan
Approximately 150 students from
both state-operated and community col-
leges will participate in the SUNY Master
Plan Student Conference to be held Sun-
day and Monday at Pierce and Brubacher
Halls. They include student government
heads, student publication editors, and
those who have participated in the Master
Plan symposia in recent months.
On the arrangements committee are
Albany students Mike Lampert, Student
Association president, and Jeff Rodgers,
who will represent the SUNY Press As-
sociation. Others include representatives
from Central Administration offices.
The tentative agenda is concerned
with discussion of the Master Plan as it
has appeared in the seven symposia with
interrelated aspects of the university. Stu-
dents will be discussing those topics at
intervals by themselves and also with the
assistance of central staff. The latter
group includes personnel from long range
planning, university relations, and student
communications. They will make recom-
mendations, notes, and observations
about their impression of the develop-
ment of SUNY as it pertains to the fu-
ture. The students’ input, along with that
of others, will be going into the formu-
lation of the Master Plan due June 1.
Sessions will begin at 1 p.m. on Sun-
day, continuing until 6 p.m. when Chan-
cellor Boyer will be host at a reception.
The Monday sessions will continue from
9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Commission. They should be sent to the
commission chairman, Martin Edelman,
Draper 141, by Monday, Feb. 7.
Senate will hold its regular monthly
meeting today at 3 p.m. in the CC Assem-
bly Hall. The only bill on the agenda is
one from the Council on Educational
Policy concerning term appointments.
The bill proposes that a school or de-
partmental decision on renewing a term
appointment “shall take into account not
only the past performance of the individ-
ual appointee but also the goals, di-
rection, and potential lines of develop-
ment of the department (or school).”
Each school or department would be re-
quired to file a statement of practices and
procedures to be followed in making such
decisions.
Among the reports to the Senate will
be the results of a parking questionnaire
sent out just after Thanksgiving. Forty-
five per cent (637) of those returning the
questionnaire indicated a willingness to
pay for better parking facilities.
Guest Concert
Tonight in PAC
Composer-performer Lou Harrison
will be presented in concert this evening
in the Main Theater of the Performing
Arts Center. The program will begin at
8:30.
Mr. Harrison has conducted his own
works and has received acclaim from
noted critics and musicians. A student of
Henry Cowell and Arnold Schoenberg,
Harrison collaborated with Charles Ives in
the editing of many of Ives’ com-
positions.
The artist’s repertoire ranges from
the primitive to the avant-garde works of
his own creation. Some of his com-
positions call for the incorporation of
sonorities obtained from the vibrations
from unusual objects such as automobile
brake drums, plumbers’ pipes, and gal-
vanized washtubs.
The program has been made possible
with partial support from the New York
Council on the Arts in cooperation with
The Composer In Performance, Inc., es-
tablished in 1960 by the State Legislature
at the request of Governor Rockefeller.
Tickets for the concert may be ob-
tained in advance between noon and 1
p.m. at the Music Council box office in
the basement of the PAC or at the door
tonight. They are $1 with student tax, $2
for students and faculty, and $3 for the
general public.
Interim Chairman
Raymond Forer has been appointed
as interim chairman of the Department of
Sociology for a term now underway and
ending at the start of the fall semester.
The announcement was made by I. Moyer
Hunsberger, dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences.
Professor Forer succeeds Paul Mea-
dows who desired relief from the adminis-
trative responsibilities which he had car-
ried beyond the original term expiration.
