TWO NAMED OUTSTANDING TEACHERS AT SUNYA

"Given in recognition of excellence in classroom teaching, as
evidenced by the opinions of colleagues and students, upon the recommen-
dation of a committee representing the students and faculty of the Schools
and Colleges of the University".

So read the certificates given to the winners of the first Outstanding
Teacher Awards presented at State University of New York at Albany. They
are Richard D. Kelly, associate professor of biological sciences, and John
T. Therrien, associate professor of mathematics. Both are alumni of SUNYA.

The awards were established by the University Senate and carry a

provided by the SUNYA Foundation, Inc.
grant of $2, 000 each/ Sixty-nine individuals were nominated from among
800 eligible teaching faculty. The choices were made on the basis of
questionnaire results, departmental colleagues' views, and letters of nomi-
nation. Terrell W. Bynum, assistant professor of philosophy, and chairman
of the Outstanding Teacher Awards Committee, reported that "by far, the
heaviest emphasis was placed upon the results of student questionnaires.
Nearly 4, 500 students responded to indicate their choices."

Dr. Kelly earned his Bachelor of Science in 1955 and his Master of
Science the following year. His doctoral studies were completed at Syracuse
University in 1965. By that time he already had been teaching at his alma
mater for two years. His credits include a long list of consultancies,

publications, grants, and fellowships. His special interest is in developing

SUNYA RECEIVES RARE PLANT

A rare plant, Franklinia alatamaha (Theaceae), has been given
to State University of New York at Albany by The Arnold Arboretum of
Harvard University. The gift is a reverse birthday present" in cele-
bration of the arboretum's centennial year.

The plant, a native of southern Georgia and now extinct in the
wild, was introduced into cultivation by John Bartram in 1770. A few
trees were discovered near the site of Fort Barsiagton on the Altamaha
River and it is assumed that all of the trees of the species now in
cultivation are descended from the tree in Bartram's garden, It is
hardy, as a shrub in the Boston area, and further south it may grow
to 30 feet in height. September and October are the flowering months
for the plant.

Frederick H. Truscott, professor of biological sciences and
vice chairman of the department which received the plant, made
arrangements for its location by the department's greenhouse outside
the Biology Building on SUNYA's uptown campus.

27 EOP STUDENTS AT SUNYA GET DEGREES

Four years ago the Educational Opportunities Program at State
University of New York at Albany was instituted. This year, in the grad-
uating Class of 1972, there were 27 enrolled in the EOP who received
their diplomas on commencement day.

Another 42 students of the initial group are still in the program,
which began with 164 students. They will be completing their degrees
later this year or by next May. Of those who left the first EOP class,

40 withdrew for a variety of personal reasons; 52 were academically
dismissed, One student is still at SUNYA, although no longer in the
EOP, and two are deceased.

A wide variety of major fields is represented among the Class of
1972 EOP graduates who received bachelor of arts or bachelor of science
degrees. The most popular is sociology, followed closely by business
administration and Afro-American studies. Other fields in which the
students majored are political science, English, anthropology, psychology,
business, history, speech pathology, and theater.

Vernon Buck, director of EOP at SUNYA, expressed his pleasure
with the accomplishment of the students who would not have been admitted
to college under ordinary circumstances and who, even under the special
program with its tutorial help, were expected to take five years to com-
plete a baccalaureate degree. He said, ''This year's graduation exercises

mark the fruition of the dreams and labors of Harry Hamilton, Robert
Morris, and Donald Whitlock. The EOP program, conceived as a means
for bringing disadvantaged persons into the academic main stream, has
become a reality".
Added the director, ''The number of EOP seniors graduating from SUNYA
has proved that the concept is valid. I am happy to have had a small part
in this innovative educational approach and I share the joy of the graduates,

Our way is clear now. We must proceed to optimize the effectiveness of

this program here and encourage other educational institutions who are not
participating in this effort to assume their responsibility to the disadvantaged
people of our country".

Harry L. Hamilton, to whom Mr. Buck referred, was the first director
of EOP. Robert B. Morris is dean of Undergraduate Studies and Donald A.
Whitlock is the university's director of financial aids.

Dr. Hamilton, who has returned to teaching and research, also congratu-
lated the first EOP class to graduate. ''These graduating students who entered
SUNYA under the auspices of EOP during the summer and fall of 1968 can
be justly proud of their pioneering accomplishments, Not only did they have
| to face the normal adjustments to college life but also they had to face both
an alien physical and social setting and a population dominated by persons
resenting their presence on campus and/or persons fully believing them
incapable of college performance. But they persevered in meeting these and
numerous other problems and now join as full participants in the community
of scholars".

27 EOP STUDENTS AT SUNYA GET DEGREE -3-
He continued, ''SUNYA as an institution can also be proud of its commitment
to increase its number of minority students, the bulk of whom are enrolled
through EOP. From shockingly low numbers of Black and Puerto Rican
students in 1967, the enrollment has now risen some 5000% and the number
graduating in this first class is some 1000% higher than the average up
until now. Most evidence shows the administration and faculty of the Uni-
versity committed to having equitable numbers of minority students and to
providing the necessary environment for them to be productive. I personally

am proud to have played a role in the events which led to this noteworthy

| occasion,"

Subsequent EOP classes, entering after the program had become
established, have fared better than the original group. Of 246 freshmen
admitted in 1971, only 6.1% were academically dismissed and 6.9% withdrew,
leaving 87% in the program. For the EOP enrollment as a whole, less than

| 10% have withdrawn or been dismissed in the course of a year. For
university undergraduates as a whole, the attrition rate is about 11.5% a year.

| Transfers into the program from other campuses make up an impor-
| tant part of the EOP enrollment as well. In May, 10 transfers received
diplomas, swelling the ranks of graduates to 37. Almost half of the
graduates have made application to attend graduate school. Thirteen are
seeking admission to graduate schools at SUNYA. Five already have been
granted graduate assistantships at SUNYA.

Six transfer students received their diplomas in 1971, becoming the

first EOP students to graduate from SUNYA. One earned her degree cum

laude. Of the other two, one is enrolled in a master's program in education
at SUNYA and the other received a Master of Science in guidance and
counseling from SUNYA in May.

Three of this year's seniors were graduated cum laude. Another,
an experienced nurse with an associate degree and a psychology major, has
received a scholarship to the Yale Graduate School of Nursing for September
and a classmate, a mother of two who has maintained a 3.4 average witha
major in anthropology, has accepted a Ford Foundation Fellowship to begin

graduate study toward a doctoral degree in anthropology at SUNYA.

SUNYA PROFESSOR AUTHOR OF NEW BOOK

Walter M. Lifton, professor in the department of counseling and personnel
services in the School of Education, State University of New York at Albany,
is the author of "Groups: Facilitating Individual Growth and Societal Change"
just published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York. The book contains a
unique section on non-verbal communication as well as the implications of
group techniques for social action.

In the concluding chapter, Dr. Lifton writes: "The security needed to
face tomorrow is both a moral and an emotional one. As man seeks the strength
to do battle he will increasingly turn either to his fellow man or to a
concept of a Supreme Being. History teaches us that people who reject the
risks of doing something about their fate are very prone to seeking easy
solutions by trusting a charismatic leader. Totalitarianism suggests rapid
solutions to problems, but asks that many pay the price of loss of any personal
identity.

"Groups, properly developed in all areas of our life can help people
discover that democracy can work. It can also provide the security base
needed to face the outer darkness. The steps are clear. Each person needs
to find himself with the help of others. Groups then need to define their
group identity and goals. And then, finally, groups need help to secure the

information, skills, and techniques needed to reach their defined objectives."

Rochester.

Dr. Lifton, who holds degrees from Brooklyn College, New York University
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and NYU's School of Education, joined
the SUNYA faculty in 1970 after having served for six years as coordinator
of pupil personnel services in Rochester's City School District. His
numerous consultancies include the White House Conference on Children and
Youth; Midwest Program Airborne Television Instruction, Inc.; and Project
NUDGE (New Urban Directed Guidance Experiment) involving Albany, Amsterdam,

and Schenectady. He has been guest lecturer at more than 25 universities.

GRADUATE PROGRAM AT SUNYA REVISED

For the past year at State University of New York at Albany
a committee chaired by Walter M. Lifton, director of the graduate
program in counseling in the department of counseling and personnel
services, School of Education, has been developing a new program
which will conform to major changes in state certification require -
ments becoming effective in September 1973. The completely new
sequence of courses leads to an advanced certificate and state
certification as a school counselor.

Prior to September 1973, state certification for counselors
required only a 30-hour program with specific skills which could be
learned at various institutions. New requirements mandate a 60-hour
program which must be completed at one university. Each institution
will develop its own methods of training the prospective counselor
and will demonstrate that the student has been involved in the com-
munity throughout his training. The resulting program will be idio-
syncratic to the particular institution involved. The skills learned
in all institutions will be comparable but the methods will differ.

4 series of approvals must be secured before the program can

be implemented. The approving bodies in New York State include the

School of Education, SUNYA, SUNY offices and the State Education

Department.

In the new program at SUNYA, graduate students with bachelor's
degrees may enter the program directly from the undergraduate level.
Each student will have the opportunity to take up to 21 hours of individual
counseling training in addition to extensive group counseling experience,
Much of the experience will be gained in various agencies in the Capital
District.

Dr. Lifton emphasizes that since a close relationship between
students and faculty is necessary for meaningful learning to take place,
priorities will be given to full-time students, To increase the depth
of the teacher-student contact, only a limited number of students will
be admitted to the program,

Emphasis is placed on the highly individualized and eclectic
nature of the practicum aspects of the program. Students not only will
go out into the community to work in various agencies but will have the
opportunity also to counsel selected clients in a clinical settingin the
department.

Today the counselor is conceived as an ''expert in human relations"
who brings to bear learned skills and abilities in counseling, "social
engineering", direct intervention, mental hygiene, and other areas to
provide assistance to individuals in realizing and utilizing their potential.

The philosophical emphasis in the new! program is underscored by
a unique course called ''Seminar in the Helping Professions". Designed

to help the practitioner entering the field to get an interdisciplinary

overview and understanding of the way the helping professions relate and

- more -

coordinate to meet community needs, the course will be required of all
students in the new counseling program,

In a recent interview Dr. Lifton stated, ''We must train our people
to have skills which relate to a changing society- a society which places more
value on counseling as a totality. From the very beginning students will be
involved with the community. They will learn to work with pressure groups
and will be familiar with community resources,"

| He continued, "Our objective is to help students in their counseling
to relate to people in a way consistent with the counselee's life style and
value system. We will be training counselors generically, rather than
specifically for a setting. Our students will have knowledge of research,
evaluation, social pressures, and group and individual counseling, Each
student then can enter the area which suits him best. The pervading theme

is the recognition of the individual as opposed to the institution."

SUNYA HOSTS MOTORCYCLE EDUCATION INSTITUTE

Twenty-two driver education teachers from school districts through-
out New York State will attend a motorcycle operator education institute at
State University at Albany June 19-23. The institute is sponsored by the
department of physical education, recreation, and safety education of the
university's School of Education and is funded by the National Highway
Safety Bureau through the New York State Interdepartmental Committee
on Traffic Safety and the New York State Department of Education.

Richard D, Ellis, assistant professor of traffic safety education at
the university, is institute director. Phillip LeFore is visiting instructor.

One purpose of the Highway Safety Act of 1966 is to "assure that
motorcycles, motorcycle operators and their passengers meet standards
which contribute to safe operation and protection from injuries.'' The

Albany institute is designed to result in an increased number of schools

and teachers implementing voluntary motorcycle operator education programs

at the secondary school level.

Specifically, upon completion of the institute, certified traffic educa-
tion teachers will be able to operate a motorcycle as a licensed motorcyclist,
organize and administer a motorcycle education program at the secondary
school level, and teach motorcycle operator education to high school pupils.

Those enrolled in the institute will be divided into two groups, each

of which will spend from 2:45-4 p.m, daily in classroom instruction in the

SUNYA PROFESSOR HONORED

Eugene Rabinowitch, professor of chemistry at State University of
New York at Albany, has received @ special award from the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences in recognition of his efforts to foster international
cooperation among scientists. In an address following the presentation
ceremony in Boston, Dr. Rabinowitch said that a radical re-evaluation of
mankind's social and personal behavior is necessary to maintain the
human species' viability on earth.

Co-founder and editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a

journal of science and world affairs, the SUNYA professor has been an
acknowledged spokesman for the American and world scientific communities
on behalf of a constructive social role for science in the twentieth
century. He was one of the organizers of the Pugwash Conferences which
bring together scientists from countries throughout the world to consider
matters of science and public policy. The unofficial discussions are consi-
dered to have played a significant role in laying the groundwork for the
test-ban treaty and in encouraging the exploration of other areas of inter-
national scientific cooperation. Dr. Rabinowitch has served on the
International Continuing Committee of the Pugwash Conferences throughout
the entire fifteen years of their existence.

SUNYA PROFESSOR HONORED -2-

In his talk entitled "The Gathering Revolution", the scientist
called attention to the many changes in the human situation brought about
by science in the last quarter century: the population explosion, the
revolution of rising expectations in the developing countries, greatly
increased productivity and environmental deterioration in the developed
world, the exploration of space, and the new understanding and control
of life processes. He asserted that these developments have led to a
radical change in the human physical and spiritual habitat and call for
behavioral changes of equal magnitude.

Dr. Rabinowitch, who was born in St. Petersburg in 1901, received
his Ph.D. from the University of Berlin. Prior to his present position
at SUNYA he was associated with the University of Gottingen} University
College, London; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and the University
of Illinois. He is the author of Minutes to Midnight (1950), a review
of attempts to establish international control of atomic energy.

FIRST CLASS SELECTED FOR ALLEN COLLEGIATE CENTER

"Bright, articulate, and concerned about contemporary social
issues'', That's how Seth W. Spellman, dean of the new James E. Allen,
Jr., Collegiate Center at State University of New York at Albany, de-
scribes the first class of 53 high school students selected for the new
time-shortened baccalaureate degree program to be offered by the
center. The students, who have completed their third year in high
school, will be combining their final year of high school and their
first year of college.

The program will offer a Bachelor of Arts degree upon comple-
tion of a study of man and his institutions. On the instructional staff
are faculty from the university's College of Arts and Sciences, the
School of Education, and The Milne School.

An admission requirement was the submission of a statement by the
applicant indicating why there was an interest in entering the program. One
student wrote, ''Man and His Institutions seem to have a more personal
attitude toward education than other colleges would have. The program
of study itself intrigues me as I am one of those people who ' have only
the vaguest notion of the institutions that structure, channel, and
control our lives'.'" Commented another, "I welcome your program as
a fresh, new outlook in education and a step in the right direction --

especially for me, at this time".

Still another wrote with comparable insight, ''This program is
different. It's geared to our society. The courses are relevant and
help prepare you for fitting into society upon graduation. It's one of
the few programs starting with a definite goal in the freshman year

and continuing all the way through graduation."

A future classmate
opined, "I feel it is more important for me to understand why people
do what they do, their motives, and the effect they have on the rest
of society. From my short experience I have learned that it is more
desirable to understand the causes and effects of an event in history
than to know the exact year it took place,"

Dean Spellman pointed out that most students in the initial year
will come from the Capital District area; however, some will be
coming from as far away as Syracuse and LongIsland. One student's
home is in Connecticut. About half of the student body will commute.
Others will live in Alden Hall at the university's Alumni Quadrangle.
Classes and administrative offices will be located in Brubacher Hall.

Members of the new class will attend the regular Summer Planning
Conference conducted by the university for new students. The Allen
Center group will attend the June 28-30 sessions to be directed by the
regular staff. Additionally, faculty members from the program will
meet especially with the future center students and their parents to
talk about the new program and answer questions.

Dean Spellman, in speaking of the new class, said their admission

materials revealed work in community programs, involvement with
the resolution of pressing social problems, and a commitment to
study the social sciences,

During their first year at the center, the students will satisfy
requirements for high school diplomas through accreditation
facilities of The Milne School, part of the university, or of the high
schools from which they were admitted.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS JOIN SUNYA'S SUMMER SESSION

Nine students from Rome, Italy, and six from Guadalajara,
Mexico, will study at State University of New York at Albany during
its summer session, beginning June 26,

Tuition waivers have been granted the visiting students to
reciprocate for the increasing numbers of SUNYA students who have
studied abroad in recent years at relatively little expense. The students!
home universities - The Universita Internazionale degli Studi Sociali
in Rome and the Universidad de Guadalajara - have provided scholar -
ships to cover a major portion of the costs of travel, room, and board.

The students have a sufficient command of English to permit
them to take regular summer session courses. Their interests cover
a wide variety of fields and they will choose their courses accordingly.

Invitations also were issued to students from Nice, France, and
Wurzburg, Germany, other hosts for traveling SUNYA students, but
the universities there were unable to offer scholarship aid, so no
students were able to accept.

SUNYA PROFESSOR NAMED TO CARSON TRUST BOARD

Robert Rienow, professor of political Science at State University
of New York at Albany and pioneer environmentalist, has been elected
to a three-year term as a member of the board of directors of the
Rachel Carson Trust for the Living Environment of Washington, D.C.

Elected at the same time were Robert Cahn of the President's
Council on Environmental Quality and Frank E, Egler of Connecticut,
an authority on herbicides,

The Rachel Carson Trust was created in response to a plea by
Miss Carson just before the author of ''The Silent Spring" died in
April, 1964, The response to her book was so overwhelming that she
told her friends that a clearinghouse, an intelligence center for the
environmental movement, was needed. It is to that end that the trust
is dedicated.

Dr. Rienow, co-author of 'Moment in the Sun" and creator of
the television series, ''Man Against His Environment", will serve /
on the board with Robert H. Boyle, Paul Brooks, David Brower, and
Charles Cottam, biologist, of Texas.

COLLEGE CLASSICS WEEK AT SUNYA

One hundred twelve persons have been selected from hundreds of
Latin students and teachers from throughout New York State to participate
in the College Classics Week at State University of New York at Albany.
The special program, which begins Friday, July 9, is sponsored by the
Classical Association of Empire State and the university.

College Classics Week has four aims: to present to high school
students important and relevant aspects of the civilizations of Greece
and Rome, to introduce students to new techniques which can be used
in learning and teaching Latin and Greek, to give students a preview
of campus life, and to encourage students to pursue a career in the
field of classics. Conference coordinators are Harriet S. Norton,
professor of education in Latin at The Milne School, SUNYA, and campus
chairman of College Classics Week 1972, and Anne L. Peterson, instructor
of Latin at Niskayuna High School, Schenectady, and chairman of College
Classics Week 1972.

The week will include classroom sessions, a field trip to a cemetery
to make rubbings of original inscriptions, a trip to the Boston Museum
of Fine Arts, various recreational activities, and a banquet. Luncheon
in the ballroom of the Campus Center will conclude the week's events.
There students, staff, and parents will meet for final ceremonies.

Seventeen instructors are on the faculty for the week. They include
several from the university's department of classics of which Lois V.
Williams is chairman.

TWO NAMED OUTSTANDING TEACHERS AT SUNYA Troy Record

"Given in recognition of excellence in classroom teaching, as
evidenced by the opinions of colleagues and students, upon the recommen-
dation of a committee representing the students and faculty of the Schools
and Colleges of the University".

So read the certificates given to the winners of the first Outstanding
Teacher Awards presented at State University of New York at Albany. They
are Richard D. Kelly, associate professor of biological sciences, and John
T. Therrien, associate professor of mathematics. Both are alumni of SUNYA.

The awards were established by the University Senate and carry a

provided by the SUNYA Foundation, Inc.
grant of $2,000 each/ Sixty-nine individuals were nominated from among
800 eligible teaching faculty. The choices were made on the basis of
questionnaire results, departmental colleagues' views, and letters of nomi-
nation. Terrell W. Bynum, assistant professor of philosophy, and chairman
of the Outstanding Teacher Awards Committee, reported that "by far, the
heaviest emphasis was placed upon the results of student questionnaires.
Nearly 4,500 students responded to indicate their choices,"

Dr. Kelly earned his Bachelor of Science in 1955 and his Master of
Science the following year. His doctoral studies were completed at Syracuse
University in 1965. By that time he already had been teaching at his alma

mater for two years. His credits include a long list of consultancies,

publications, grants, and fellowships. His special interest is in developing

Frost, professor of chemistry; Helen G. Horowitz, associate professor of
economics; Hyman Kuritz, professor, educational foundations; Thomas J,
LaBarbera, Philip M. Prince, and Bertram A, Sapurstein, students. Some
of the evaluations made by students concerned command of the subject,
clarity, sensitivity to response of the class, availability to students, enthu-
siasm for subject, and ability to increase appreciation for the subject among
students,

Dr. Kelly, who resides at 135 Lincoln Avenue, Altamont, is a native
of Kingston where he attended elementary and secondary school and was
graduated from Kingston High School. He taught science courses in the

SUNYA RECEIVES RARE PLANT

A rare plant, Franklinia alatamaha (Theaceae), has been given
to State University of New York at Albany by The Arnold Arboretum of
Harvard University. The gift is a ''reverse birthday present" in cele-
bration of the arboretum's centennial year.

The plant, a native of southern Georgia and now extinct in the
wild, was introduced into cultivation by John Bartram in 1770. A few
trees were discovered near the site of Fort Barrington on the Altamaha
River and it is assumed that all of the trees of the species now in
cultivation are descended from the tree in Bartram's garden, It is
hardy, as a shrub in the Boston area, and further south it may grow
to 30 feet in height. September and October are the flowering months
for the plant.

Frederick H. Truscott, professor of biological sciences and
vice chairman of the department which received the plant, made
arrangements for its location by the department's greenhouse outside
the Biology Building on SUNYA's uptown campus.

27 EOP STUDENTS AT SUNYA GET DEGREES

Four years ago the Educational Opportunities Program at State
University of New York at Albany was instituted. This year, in the grad-
uating Class of 1972, there were 27 enrolled in the EOP who received
their diplomas on commencement day.

Another 42 students of the initial group are still in the program,

which began with 164 students. They will be completing their degrees

later this year or by next May. Of those who left the first EOP class,

40 withdrew for a variety of personal reasons; 52 were academically
dismissed, One student is still at SUNYA, although no longer in the
EOP, and two are deceased.

A wide variety of major fields is represented among the Class of
1972 EOP graduates who received bachelor of arts or bachelor of science
degrees. The most popular is sociology, followed closely by business
administration and Afro-American studies. Other fields in which the
students majored are political science, English, anthropology, psychology,
business, history, speech pathology, and theater.

Vernon Buck, director of EOP at SUNYA, expressed his pleasure
with the accomplishment of the students who would not have been admitted
to college under ordinary circumstances and who, even under the special
program with its tutorial help, were expected to take five years to com-
plete a baccalaureate degree. He said, ''This year's graduation exercises

mark the fruition of the dreams and labors of Harry Hamilton, Robert
Morris, and Donald Whitlock. The EOP program, conceived as a means
for bringing disadvantaged persons into the academic main stream, has
become a reality''.

Added the aicesion, "The number of EOP seniors graduating from SUNYA
has proved that the concept is valid. I am happy to have had a small part
in this innovative educational approach and I share the joy of the graduates.
Our way is clear now. We must proceed to optimize the effectiveness of
this program here and encourage other educational institutions who are not
participating in this effort to assume their responsibility to the disadvantaged
people of our country".

Harry L. Hamilton, to whom Mr. Buck referred, was the first director
of EOP. Robert B. Morris is dean of Undergraduate Studies and Donald A.
Whitlock is the university's director of financial aids.

Dr. Hamilton, who has returned to teaching and research, also congratu-
lated the first EOP class to graduate, ''These graduating students who entered
SUNYA under the auspices of EOP during the summer and fall of 1968 can
be justly proud of their pioneering accomplishments, Not only did they have
to face the normal adjustments to college life but also they had to face both
an alien physical and social setting and a population dominated by persons
resenting their presence on campus and/or persons fully believing them
incapable of college performance. But they persevered in meeting these and
numerous other problems and now join as full participants in the community
of scholars".

27 EOP STUDENTS AT SUNYA GET DEGREE -3-
He continued, ''SUNYA as an institution can also be proud of its commitment
to increase its number of minority students, the bulk of whom are enrolled
through EOP. From shockingly low numbers of Black and Puerto Rican
students in 1967, the enrollment has now risen some 5000% and the number
graduating in this first class is some 1000% higher than the average up
until now. Most evidence shows the administration and faculty of the Uni-
versity committed to having equitable numbers of minority students and to
providing the necessary environment for them to be productive. I personally
am proud to have played a role in the events which led to this noteworthy
occasion,"

Subsequent EOP classes, entering after the program had become
established, have fared better than the original group. Of 246 freshmen
admitted in 1971, only 6. 1% were academically dismissed and 6.9% withdrew,
leaving 87% in the program. For the EOP enrollment as a whole, less than
10% have withdrawn or been dismissed in the course of a year. For
university undergraduates as a whole, the attrition rate is about 11.5% a year.

Transfers into the program from other campuses make up an impor-
tant part of the EOP enrollment as well, In May, 10 transfers received
diplomas, swelling the ranks of graduates to 37. Almost half of the
graduates have made application to attend graduate school. Thirteen are
seeking admission to graduate schools at SUNYA. Five already have been
granted graduate assistantships at SUNYA.

Six transfer students received their diplomas in 1971, becoming the

first EOP students to graduate from SUNYA. One earned her degree cum

laude. Of the other two, one is enrolled in a master's program in education
at SUNYA and the other received a Master of Science in guidance and
counseling from SUNYA in May.

Three of this year's seniors were graduated cum laude. Another,
an experienced nurse with an associate degree and a psychology major, has
received a scholarship to the Yale Graduate School of Nursing for September
and a classmate, a mother of two who has maintained a 3, 4 average with a
major in anthropology, has accepted a Ford Foundation Fellowship to begin

graduate study toward a doctoral degree in anthropology at SUNYA.

SUNYA PROFESSOR AUTHOR OF NEW BOOK

Walter. M. Lifton, professor in the department of counseling and personnel
services in the School of Education, State University of New York at Albany,
is the author of "Groups: Facilitating Individual Growth and Societal Change"
just published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York. The book contains a
unique section on non-verbal communication as well as the implications of
group techniques for social action.

In the concluding chapter, Dr. Lifton writes: "The security needed to
face tomorrow is both a moral and an emotional one. As man seeks the strength
to do battle he will increasingly turn either to his fellow man or to a
concept of a Supreme Being. History teaches us that people who reject the
risks of doing something about their fate are very prone to seeking easy
solutions by trusting a charismatic leader. Totalitarianism suggests rapid
solutions to problems, but asks that many pay the price of loss of any personal
identity.

"Groups, properly developed in all areas of our life can help people
discover that democracy can work. It can also provide the security base
needed to face the outer darkness. The steps are clear. Each person needs
to find himself with the help of others. Groups then need to define their
group identity and goals. And then, finally, groups need help to secure the

information, skills, and techniques needed to reach their defined objectives."

of pupil personnel services in Rochester's City School District. His

GRADUATE PROGRAM AT SUNYA REVISED

For the past year at State University of New York at Albany
a committee chaired by Walter M. Lifton, director of the graduate
program in counseling in the department of counseling and personnel
services, School of Education, has been developing a new program
which will conform to major changes in state certification require -
ments becoming effective in September 1973. The completely new
sequence of courses leads to an advanced certificate and state
certification as a school counselor.

Prior to September 1973, state certification for counselors
required only a 30-hour program with specific skills which could be
learned at various institutions. New requirements mandate a 60-hour
program which must be completed at one university. Each institution
will develop its own methods of training the prospective counselor
and will demonstrate that the student has been involved in the com-
munity throughout his training. The resulting program will be idio-
syncratic to the particular institution involved. The skills learned
in all institutions will be comparable but the methods will differ.

4 series of approvals must be secured before the program can

be implemented. The approving bodies in New York State include the

School of Education, SUNYA, SUNY offices and the State Education

Department.

In the new program at SUNYA, graduate students with bachelor's
degrees may enter the program directly from the undergraduate level.
Each student will have the opportunity to take up to 21 hours of individual
counseling training in addition to extensive group counseling experience.
Much of the experience will be gained in various agencies in the Capital
District.

Dr. Lifton emphasizes that since a close relationship between
students and faculty is necessary for meaningful learning to take place,
priorities will be given to full-time students. To increase the depth
of the teacher-student contact, only a limited number of students will
be admitted to the program,

Emphasis is placed on the highly individualized and eclectic
nature of the practicum aspects of the program. Students not only will
go out into the community to work in various agencies but will have the
opportunity also to counsel selected clients in a clinical settingin the
department.

Today the counselor is conceived as an "expert in human relations"
who brings to bear learned skills and abilities in counseling, ''social
engineering", direct intervention, mental hygiene, and other areas to
provide assistance to individuals in realizing and utilizing their potential.

The philosophical emphasis in the new program is underscored by
a unique course called ''Seminar in the Helping Professions". Designed

to help the practitioner entering the field to get an interdisciplinary

overview and understanding of the way the helping professions relate and

coordinate to meet community needs, the course will be required of all
students in the new counseling program.

In a recent interview Dr. Lifton stated, ''We must train our people
to have skills which relate to a changing society- a society which places more
value on counseling as a totality. From the very beginning students will be
involved with the community. They will learn to work with pressure groups
and will be familiar with community resources."

He continued, ''Our objective is to help students in their counseling
to relate to people in a way consistent with the counselee's life style and
value system, We will be training counselors generically, rather than
specifically for a setting. Our students will have knowledge of research,
evaluation, social pressures, and group and individual counseling. Each
student then can enter the area which suits him best. The pervading theme
is the recognition of the individual as opposed to the institution."

out New York State will attend a motorcycle operator education institute at
State University at Albany June 19-23, The institute is sponsored by the
department of physical education, recreation, and safety education of the
university's School of Education and is funded by the National Highway
Safety Bureau through the New York State Interdepartmental Committee
on Traffic Safety and the New York State Department of Education.

SUNYA PROFESSOR HONORED

Eugene Rabinowitch, professor of chemistry at State University of
New York at Albany, has received a special award from the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences in recognition of his efforts to foster international
| cooperation among scientists. In an address following the presentation
ceremony in Boston, Dr. Rabinowitch said that a radical re-evaluation of
mankind's social and personal behavior is necessary to maintain the
human species’ viability on earth.

Co-founder and editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a

journal of science and world affairs, the SUNYA professor has been an
acknowledged spokesman for the American and world scientific communities

| on behalf of a constructive social role for science in the twentieth
century. He was one of the organizers of the Pugwash Conferences which
bring together scientists from countries throughout the world to consider
matters of science and public policy. The unofficial discussions are consi-
dered to have played a significant role in laying the groundwork for the

| test-ban treaty and in encouraging the exploration of other areas of inter-

national scientific cooperation. Dr. Rabinowitch has served on the

International Continuing Committee of the Pugwash Conferences throughout

the entire fifteen years of their existence.

SUNYA PROFESSOR HONORED -2-

In his talk entitled "The Gathering Revolution", the scientist
called attention to the many changes in the human situation brought about
by science in the last quarter century: the population explosion, the
revolution of rising expectations in the developing countries, greatly
increased productivity and environmental deterioration in the developed
world, the exploration of space, and the new understanding and control
of life processes. He asserted that these developments have led to a
radical change in the human physical and spiritual habitat and call for
behavioral changes of equal magnitude.

Dr. Rabinowitch, who was born in St. Petersburg in 1901, received
his Ph.D. from the University of Berlin. Prior to his present position
at SUNYA he was associated with the University of Gottingen} University
College, London; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and the University
of Tllinois. He is the author of Minutes to Midnight (1950), a review

of attempts to establish international control of atomic energy.

FIRST CLASS SELECTED FOR ALLEN COLLEGIATE CENTER  Weandd — Gytacus

"Bright, articulate, and concerned about contemporary social
issues", That's how Seth W. Spellman, dean of the new James E. Allen,
Jr., Collegiate Center at State University of New York at Albany, de-
scribes the first class of 53 high school students selected for the new
time -shortened baccalaureate degree program to be offered by the
center. The students, who have completed their third year in high
school, will be combining their final year of high school and their
first year of college.

The program will offer a Bachelor of Arts degree upon comple-
tion of a study of man and his institutions. On the instructional staff
are faculty from the university's College of Arts and Sciences, the
School of Education, and The Milne School.

An admission requirement was the submission of a statement by the
applicant indicating why there was an interest in entering the program. One
student wrote, ''Man and His Institutions seem to have a more personal
attitude toward education than other colleges would have, The program
of study itself intrigues me as I am one of those people who ' have only
the vaguest notion of the institutions that structure, channel, and
control our lives'.'' Commented another, "I welcome your program as

a fresh, new outlook in education and a step in the right direction --

especially for me, at this time".

Still another wrote with comparable insight, ''This program is
different. It's geared to our society. The courses are relevant and
help prepare you for fitting into society upon graduation. It's one of
the few programs starting with a definite goal in the freshman year

and continuing all the way through graduation."

A future classmate
opined, "I feel it is more important for me to understand why people
do what they do, their motives, and the effect they have on the rest
of society, From my short experience I have learned that it is more
desirable to understand the causes and effects of an event in history
than to know the exact year it took place."

Dean Spellman pointed out that most students in the initial year
will come from the Capital District area; however, some will be
coming from as far away as Syracuse and Long Island. One student's
home is in Connecticut. About half of the student body will commute.
Others will live in Alden Hall at the university's Alumni Quadrangle.
Classes and administrative offices will be located in Brubacher Hall,

Members of the new class will attend the regular Summer Planning
Conference conducted by the university for new students. The Allen
Center group will attend the June 28-30 sessions to be directed by the
regular staff. Additionally, faculty members from the program will
meet especially with the future center students and their parents to
talk about the new program and answer questions.

Dean Spellman, in speaking of the new class, said their admission

materials revealed work in community programs, involvement with
the resolution of pressing social problems, and a commitment to
study the social sciences,

During their first year at the center, the students will satisfy
requirements for high school diplomas through accreditation
facilities of The Milne School, part of the university, or of the high
schools from which they were admitted,

AREA TEACHERS ATTEND ENVIRONMENTAL WORKSHOP

Twenty-one area secondary school teachers have completed a
two-month environmental concepts workshop, sponsored by the State
University at Albany College of General Studies in conjunction with
the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. Robert G.Nurnberger,
professor in the College of General Studies, directed the workshop,
which will be repeated in the fall.

Class sessions were held at the Bethlehem Central High
School, with Saturday field experiences at the Five Rivers Environ-
mental Education Center, on the site of the former Delmar Game
Farm. The workshop is designed as a course for in-service teachers
who are incorporating environmental studies into their curriculum.
Among topics covered by guest lecturers were air pollution, water
pollution, population consideration, solid waste and recycling, and
socio-economic bases of environmental problems. Sessions were
oriented toward methods and material the teacher may use in teaching
the content presented,

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS JOIN SUNYA'S SUMMER SESSION

Nine students from Rome, Italy, and six from Guadalajara,
Mexico, will study at State University of New York at Albany during
its summer session, beginning June 26.

Tuition waivers have been granted the visiting students to
reciprocate for the increasing numbers of SUNYA students who have
studied abroad in recent years at relatively little expense. The students!
home universities - The Universita Internazionale degli Studi Sociali
in Rome and the Universidad de Guadalajara - have provided scholar-
ships to cover a major portion of the costs of travel, room, and board.

The students have a sufficient command of English to permit
them to take regular summer session courses. Their interests cover
a wide variety of fields and they will choose their courses accordingly.

Invitations also were issued to students from Nice, France, and
Wurzburg, Germany, other hosts for traveling SUNYA students, but
the universities there were unable to offer scholarship aid, so no
students were able to accept.

SUNYA PROFESSOR NAMED TO CARSON TRUST BOARD

Robert Rienow, professor of political Science at State University
of New York at Albany and pioneer environmentalist, has been elected
to a three-year term as a member of the board of directors of the
Rachel Carson Trust for the Living Environment of Washington, D.C.

Elected at the same time were Robert Cahn of the President's
Council on Environmental Quality and Frank E, Egler of Connecticut,
an authority on herbicides.

The Rachel Carson Trust was created in response to a plea by
Miss Carson just before the author of ''The Silent Spring" died in
April, 1964. The response to her book was so overwhelming that she
told her friends that a clearinghouse, an intelligence center for the
environmental movement, was needed. It is to that end that the trust
is dedicated,

Dr. Rienow, co-author of ''Moment in the Sun'' and creator of
the television series, ''Man Against His Environment", will serve
on the board with Robert H. Boyle, Paul Brooks, David Brower, and
Charles Cottam, biologist, of Texas.

TWENTY ATTEND MOTORCYCLE EDUCATION COURSE

EDITORS: See attached list for person (s) from your circulation area.

Twenty driver education teachers from school districts throughout
New York State recently completed a motorcycle operator education
institute at State University at Albany. The institute was sponsored
by the department of physical education, recreation, and safety
education of the university's School of Education and was funded by
the National Highway Safety Bureau.

The teachers who completed the institute now are qualified to
administer similar programs in their respective districts. They
received both classroom and laboratory instruction on motorcycles
provided by area dealers for the institute.

The purpose of the institute was to increase the number of
schools and teachers implementing voluntary motorcycle operator

education programs at the secondary school level.
