Making its debut this week at State University of New York at Albany is
Tower Tribune, a weekly publication designed to serve the university community.
It has been prepared by the Office of Community Relations for campus distribution
on Monday mornings.

The Tribune will replace Campus Courier, a weekly newsletter for faculty,
and Staff Beat, a monthly bulletin for faculty and staff. It also will carry news
of scheduled events formerly listed in the Calendar of Events, published by the
Student Activities Office.

Items about professional activities of the faculty also will appear in the Tribune.
There will be no spring issue of The Professor, which carried such news.

For some time, many segments of the university community have expressed
both the need and the desire for more information about a wide variety of activities
on campus. While the dimensions of the Tribune will be modest this semester, the
publication may be enlarged later. Presently it is printed with a newspaper format
on two sides of a large sheet.

Subject to space limitations, the Tribune will report Senate meetings, adminis-
trative policy statements, innovative programs, and curriculum developments, among
other news. Regular features will include selected coming events of all-university
interest, a general activities column, sports highlights, and classified ads.

Distribution of 10, 000 copies of the paper will be made to all faculty and staff
offices, residence units, commuter lockers, and the Campus Center information
desk. Arrangements were made for copies of the first issue to be delivered to
students' rooms.

"Man Against His Environment", a new course offering in televised
form, is underway at State University of New York at Albany. There are
two television programs a week plus a discussion period with Robert
Rienow, professor of political science, which deal with the environ-
mental crisis and its possible remedies.

One hundred thirty students are enrolled for the three-credit
course. The television series was prepared for the Graduate School
of Public Affairs by the university's Center for Educational Commmnica-
tion. Featured are a number of ardent conservationists including
Stewart Udall, former Secretary of the Interior; Vincent J. Schaefer,
director of the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center; and Pete Seeger,
folksinger prominently identified with the Hudson River pure waters
campaign.

An indication of the scope of the course is revealed by a sample
of lectures. "The Growth Panic" concerns runaway production and con-
sumption as environmental abuse. Ecology as a key to responsible steward-
ship is the subject of "Even the Greatest Lean...". The film and discus-
sion of "Parade of the Doomed” deals with the extermination of life forms
and "Earthmanship" explores the interlocked relationship of ell environ-
mental abuses and the need for an ecological trust to guide and educate
the citizenry.

Students view two half-hour films each week in a lecture hall. They
have an opportunity to review the material which is presented four times
at varying hours. Professor Rienow conducts the discussion hour weekly.

"Man Against His Environment" ~2-

In addition to Professor Rienow, Leslie Urbach and Dr. Schaefer have
been closely involved with the preparation of the televised series. Mr.
Urbach, who produced the film, serves as consultant to the Center for Educa-
tional Communication. He previously was affiliated with television stations
in New York and Philadelphie.

Professor Rienow, co-author of "Moment in the Sun", a report on the
deteriorating quality of the American environment, recently received the Award
of Merit from the Desert Protective Council. He is a member of the national
poard of trustees of Defenders of Wildlife and of the advisory council of the
Atlantic Chapter, Sierra Club.

In a course introductory note for all lectures, Professor Rienow com-
ments, in part: "It may be said categorically that no law will be enforced --
no improvement in environment attained -- until and unless vocal, continuing
public support is behind it...It mst also be remembered that it is local
attitudes, and local action, that mst be telied on to redeem the condition
of the nation as a whole. If each citizen cleans up his own backyard and
street frontage, the entire city is rehabilitated. In the same way, if each
community and county solves its own problems, the entire country will be

restored."

Albany-Siena Rivalry Renewed on Saturday

One of the fiercest collegiate basketball rivalries in upstate New York, match-
ing State University at Albany and Siena College, will have its 1970 renewal Sat-
urday evening, February 14, at University Gym. The freshman teams will meet at
6:30 and the varsities at 8:30. An overflow crowd is expected in the 2, 600-seat
facility.

The neighboring institutions first met on the court during the 1939-40 campaign.
The Loudonville Indians won that one and the next five contests, over a period of 18
seasons. The Great Danes gained their first victory over Siena in 1957-58 and have
taken 11 of 20 since coach Dick Sauers arrived in Albany 15 years ago. Overall,
however, Siena holds a 14-11 edge,

The two clubs split last year, Albany winning, 59-58 in the championship game
of the Capital City Tournament and Siena stopping an 11-game Dane victory skein later
in the year, 73-64, at Troy High. That triumph also halted Albany's longest series
winning streak at four games. This year, for the first time since 1964, the rivals
will meet only once.

The games are traditionally close and Siena's nine-point margin last year was the
widest spread either side has enjoyed in the past nine meetings. Often the games have
been decided in the final seconds and several have gone into overtime.

While Sauers is a veteran of abeny Bienes tilts, Gene Culnan will be engaged in

iena

his first as varsity coach, The 1964 /alumnus played in five, however, and was on the

winning side twice. He also coached the Siena freshman squad for three years.

Records often are meaningless in such a game; but on paper, it shapes up as a
test of Siena's size and shooting against Albany's quickness and defense, The Indians,
led by co-captains 6-7 Bob Hermann and Mike Seymour, are averaging close to 80
points a game, while Albany is permitting less than 65. Conversely, Indian opponents
have been scoring better than 80 per contest, and the Danes are managing about 65.

In addition to Hermann, who recently became Siena's career scoring champion,
Culnan has height in 6-5 Jay Leachman and 6-4 Tom Welch. Those three, plus Seymou
and Andy Murphy, both 6-1, have been in double figures most of the season, The
Indians have been playing well of late after a slow start and will carry a 6-9 record
into a home game with St. Francis on Wednesday, Siena upset the Terriers 10 days
ago in Brooklyn.

Albany is smaller and less potent on offense, The tallest is 6-2 Steve Sheehan,
but the leading rebounder is 6-0 Jack Jordan, who also is the No. 1 scorer, Jim
Masterson is in double figures, too, while Sheehan, captain Jack Adams, and Al Reid,
have been fluctuating between eight and 10 points a game most of the year. All are
tough on defense, though, and the Danes have upset several taller teams, including
RPI, which owns a 10-point win over Siena, Albany is 8-6 and hosts New Paltz Tuesday

Against other common opponents, both have lost to Merrimack and Hartwick,
although Albany came closer in each case, and both defeated Union and Potsdam, Siena
holds a five-point win over Cortland, which defeated Albany by two in overtime.

Albany will have the home court advantage, but it won't mean much, since Siena
figures to have a large and loud contingent on hand and the Indians played two games
on the floor in the tournament. In the teams' only previous meeting in the gym, Albany

came out on top by a point.

The freshman game will pit two strong clubs with impressive records against
each other. The young Indians are 10-3 and the Dane pups 9-3 heading into this
week's action. Siena, coached by Marty Canavan, a former teammate of Culnan,
are a high-scoring crew, led by 6-2 Fred Shear of Waterford. Albany features
a well-balanced attach with seven men seeing considerable action for coach Bob

Lewis. Werner Kolln, 6-4, is the top scorer,

Despite budget cuts, a tight economy, and a slackening demand for new teachers,
the Placement Service at State University of New York at Albany managed to help 85%
of its registrants find employment for 1969-70, Of 1, 096 candidates available for
placement from October 1968 to September 1969, 934 found jobs through the Place-
ment Service,

The service, under the direction of Dr, Clinton J. Roberts, helps an average of
50 people a day during the academic year. It arranges interviews between private
recruiters and interested candidates, maintains a file of job vacancies, provides
candidates with specific job leads in their fields, sends the candidates’! placement
folders to prospective employers, and offers individual counseling and advice on
preparing resumes or apply ing for a job,

By far the greatest number of placements last year came in the field of education,
with 560 accepting employment in secondary education and 133 taking positions in
higher education. The greatest demand was for science Pre librarians, and math-
ematics teachers, Candidates specializing in social studies or Latin were in the least
demand as teachers. Salaries ranged from $5, 000-15, 000 for holders of a B, A, degree,
$4, 200-25, 000 for M, A, degree employees, and $7, 700-28, 750 for holders of a doc-
torate.

Two hundred forty-one registrants found employment in "general" or non-educational
fields. Of these, 52 were employed by the State of New York. The demand in general
placement was greatest for candidates in the fields of accounting, mathematics, and
computer programming, Salaries ranged from $5, 000-10, 300 for B.A. degree holders,
$7, 400-12, 600 for M,A, degree holders, and $9, 700-15, 500 for employees with a

doctoral degree, (more)

Placement Service =2-

With most of last year's registrants settled into new jobs, the Placement
Service has been turning its attention to a new crop of graduating seniors and
graduate degree recipients. But finding enough jobs to meet the employment demand

"may be more difficult than in any year in the previous decade,"

according to
Dr. Roberts.

School districts, the major source of employment for SUNYA graduates, have
been hard hit by budget cuts and have been forced to cut back on special programs
and to increase the size of classes rather than hire new teachers.

The effect on job seekers can be seen in the fact that job leads in education,
including administrative positions, dropped from a peak of 12, 200 in 1967 to 7, 000
last year. They are expected to drop still further. At the same time, the number of
students graduating and looking for employment is increasing, thus creating additional
competition for the available jobs.

In general placement, including industry, said Dr. Roberts, ''even physicists are
beginning to find problems.'' He estimated that at least 60% of candidates seeking gen-
eral placement had prepared in areas which have poor marketability, In addition, the
Vietnam War and the draft have created intense competition for ''safe'' jobs.

Finally, federal, state, and local governments, the mainstay of employment for
the non-specialist, have cut back their hiring and increased minimum requirements
for becoming eligible for employment.

"It used to be that anyone who achieved 80% on the professional careers test was
employable, ''Dr. Roberts explained. ''Even those who did not achieve that grade were
sometimes employed. Now the grade required for generalists is 95% and the waiting

list is unbelievably long,"'

The six-member Musica Elettronica Viva (live Electronic Music), formed
in Rome four years ago, will be heard in concert Saturday evening, February
Ge Papa Theatre, Performing Arts Center, at State University
of New York at Albany. The program is being sponsored by the university's

Music Council.

After a year of concert activity in Rome, MEV toured Europe in 1967
and received international recognition for its experiments in collective
music improvisation. It now is on tour in the United States.

Performers are Nicole Abelloos, Alvin Curran, Barbara Mayfield,
Frederic Rzewski, Edith Schloss, and Richard Teitelbaum. MEV music is
created directly in the moment of performance. Scores and tapes, when
used, do not constitute the final objective form of the work but are
rather reservoirs of stored information. The use of electronics, once
the basis for MEV improvisation, is no longer of central importance to
the work. The development is due to both the changes in the formation of
the group and the experiments in street music carried out during the
summer and fall of 1968, in the course of which fixed-electronic sounds
were combined with mobile-nonelectronic sound-sources. The eletronics,
however, have not been discarded, but integrated into a more open struc-

ture, in which differences of amplification do not imply incompatibility.

One hundred thirty students are enrolled for the three-credit
course, The television series was prepared for the Graduate School
of Public Affairs by the university's Center for Educational Commmnica-
tion. Featured are a number of ardent conservationists including
Stewart Udall, former Secretary of the Interior; Vincent J. Schaefer,
director of the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center; and Pete Seeger,
folksinger prominently identified with the Hudson River pure waters
campaign.

An indication of the scope of the course is revealed by a sample
of lectures, "The Growth Panic" concerns runaway production and con-
sumption as environmental abuse. Ecology as a key to responsible steward-
ship is the subject of "Even the Greatest Lean...". The film and discus~
sion of "Parade of the Doomed" deals with the extermination of life forms
and "Earthmanship" explores the interlocked relationship of all environ-
mental abuses and the need for an ecological trust to guide and educate
the citizenry.

Students view two half-hour films each week in a lecture hall. They
have an opportunity to review the material which is presented four times

at varying hours. Professor Rienow conducts the discussion hour weekly.

In addition to Professor Rienow, Leslie Urbach and Dr. Schaefer have
been closely involved with the preparation of the televised series. Mr.
Urbach, who produced the film, serves as consultant to the Center for Educa-
tional Commmnication. He previously wes affiliated with television stations
in New York and Philadelphia.

Professor Rienow, co-author of "Moment in the Sun", a report on the
deteriorating quality of the American environment, recently received the Award
of Merit from the Desert Protective Council. He is a member of the national
board of trustees of Defenders of Wildlife and of the advisory council of the
Atlantic Chapter, Sierra Club.

In a course introductory note for all lectures, Professor Rienow com-
ments, in part: "It may be said categorically that no law will be enforced --
no improvement in environment attained -- until and unless vocal, continuing
public support is behind it...It must also be remembered that it is local
attitudes, and local action, that must be felied on to redeem the condition
of the nation as a whole. If each citizen cleans up his own backyard and
street frontage, the entire city is rehabilitated. In the same way, if each
community and county solves its own problems, the entire country will be

restored."

Making its debut this week at State University of New York at Albany is —
Tower Tribune, a weekly publication designed to serve the university community.
It has been prepared by the Office of Community Relations for campus distribution
on Monday mornings.

Items about professional activities of the faculty also will appear in the Tribune.
There will be no spring issue of The Professor, which carried such news.

For some time, many segments of the university community have expressed
both the need and the desire for more information about a wide variety of activities
on campus. While the dimensions of the Tribune will be modest this semester, the
publication may be enlarged later, Presently it is printed with a newspaper format
on two sides of a large sheet.

Despite budget cuts, a tight economy, and a slackening demand for new teachers,
the Placement Service at State University of New York at Albany managed to help 85%
of its registrants find employment for 1969-70, Of 1,096 candidates available for
placement from October 1968 to September 1969, 934 found jobs through the Place -
ment Service,

The service, under the direction of Dr, Clinton J. Roberts, helps an average of
50 people a day during the academic year. It arranges interviews between private
recruiters and interested candidates, maintains a file of job vacancies, provides
candidates with specific job leads in their fields, sends the candidates' placement
folders to prospective employers, and offers individual counseling and advice on
preparing resumes or applying for a job,

By far the greatest number of placements last year came in the field of education,
with 560 accepting employment in secondary education and 133 taking positions in
higher education, The greatest demand was for science reueneee: librarians, and math-
ematics teachers, Candidates specializing in social studies or Latin were in the least
demand as teachers. Salaries ranged from $5, 000-15, 000 for holders of a B.A. degree,
$4, 200-25, 000 for M.A, degree employees, and $7, 700-28, 750 for holders of a doc-
torate.

Two hundred forty-one registrants found employment in "general" or non-educational
fields. Of these, 52 were employed by the State of New York. The demand in general
placement was greatest for candidates in the fields of accounting, mathematics, and
computer programming, Salaries ranged from $5, 000-10, 300 for B, A. degree holders,
$7, 400-12, 600 for M,A, degree holders, and $9, 700-15, 500 for employees with a

doctoral degree. (more)

Placement Service gfe

"may be more difficult than in any year in the previous decade,"

according to
Dr. Roberts.

The effect on job seekers can be seen in the fact that job leads in education,
including administrative positions, dropped from a peak of 12, 200 in 1967 to 7, 000
last year. They are expected to drop still further, At the same time, the number of
students graduating and looking for employment is increasing, thus creating additional
competition for the available jobs.

In general placement, including industry, said Dr. Roberts, "even physicists are
beginning to find problems,'' He estimated that at least 60% of candidates seeking gen-
eral placement had prepared in areas which have poor marketability. In addition, the
Vietnam War and the draft have created intense competition for "'safe'’ jobs.

Finally, federal, state, and local governments, the mainstay of employment for
the non-specialist, have cut back their hiring and increased minimum requirements
for becoming eligible for employment.

"Tt used to be that anyone who achieved 80% on the professional careers test was
employable, ''Dr. Roberts explained. ''Even those who did not achieve that grade were
sometimes employed. Now the grade required for generalists is 95% and the waiting

list is unbelievably long."

hook will be given to each conference participant, In his book, Dr, Wright discusses

unity. The implications for reading teachers, the main engineers of communication
in the schools, are self-evident, The book may serve as the basis for discussion
at future meetings of the local reading council.
