Effect of Sibling Gender on Women's Education Topic of April 5 Talk
ALBANY - As part of the SesquicentennialyAlumni Lectures for the University at
Albany's economics department, Professor Anne Case of Princeton University will
give a lecture on "The Effect of Sibling Sex Composition on Women's Education
and Earnings," at 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 5 in Lecture Center 19 on the Uptown
Campus, 1400 Washington Ave.
Case and colleague Kristin F. Butcher found that women's educational choices
have been systematically affected by the sex composition of their siblings, and
men's choices have not. They found that women who were raised only with
brothers received on average significantly more education than women raised with
any sisters, controlling for household size.
The lecture is based on a paper which documents the impact of siblings on the
education of men and women born in the U.S. between 1920 and 1965.
Case was an undergraduate economics major at the University at Albany who
received her degree in 1980. Her subject of study is also highly relevant to the
University's mission, in particular its concern with the education and careers of
women. After the lecture, there will be a reception for Case at 5:15 p.m. in BA
108.

University at Albany Honors City of Albany in
Special Ceremony
As part of its Sesquicentennial year celebration, the University at Albany will
dedicate a plaque in a ceremony honoring the city of Albany "for 150 years of
steadfast support," on Wednesday, April 20, at 121 State St. beginning at noon. A
reception will follow at 12:15 p.m. in the City Hall Rotunda. Music will be
provided by the Albany Police Pipes and Drums. The event is free and open to the

The location of the unveiling ceremony, 121 State St., is the site of the first

of Hinman, Straub, Pigors and Manning law offices. On hand will be University
President H. Patrick Swygert; Albany Mayor Gerald D. Jennings; Harold C.
Hanson, Esq., '63, principal of Hinman, Straub, Pigors and Manning and a member

this University has had a superior relationship with its host city," President H.
Patrick Swygert said. "The city loaned the first building to the state for this
inaugural venture into public higher education and has been a steadfast supporter,
indeed a real partner, ever since. We are delighted to take this opportunity during
this Sesquicentennial year to acknowledge that support."
The plaque, which reads "First Site of the State Normal School, Established
in 1844 Today Known as the University at Albany, State University of New York,
Dedicated in 1994 in honor of the City of Albany for 150 years of steadfast
support" will be located on the front of the building.

University at Albany to Celebrate Fountain’ Day,
Once again, the University at Albany's annual rite of spring will be upon us when
the main fountain on campus is turned on for the first time this year. Spring 1994
will officially hit the campus on Wednesday, April 27, beginning at noon in, at and
around the main fountain.
As usual, thousands are expected to attend and University President H.
Patrick Swygert will be on hand to throw out the Frisbee. The event promises to be
a wonderful photo opportunity as the campus celebrates spring.
In honor of the Sesquicentennial, this year's Fountain Day will take on
particular significance because we will recognize its connection with the Human
Awareness Day (HAP), which was the week-long festivities which began in 1978.
Started by Frederick Brewington ‘79 and Peter Galasso '78, HAP consisted of a
week of events climaxing with open discussions and a celebration on the day the
fountain was turned on.
In addition to the merriment, the founders of HAP will have a luncheon in
the Patroon Room with President Swygert and several student leaders.

University at Albany and Four Winds-Saratoga Will
Screen Individuals for Anxiety Disorders May 4
The University at Albany’s Phobia, and:Anxiety Disorders Clinic and Four Winds -
Saratoga will both participate in Anxiety Disorders Screening Day on Wednesday, May
4, as part of National Mental Health Month. Anyone who is interested may come in to
either facility for a free screening test to determine whether they might have an anxiety
disorder. Mental health professionals will also be available.
The Phobia and Anxiety Disorders Clinic, which is located at 1535 Western
Avenue near Stuyvesant Plaza in Albany, will hold its screening from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. |
For an appointment, call 456-4127. Four Winds - Saratoga, which is located at 30
Crescent Ave. in Saratoga Springs, will screen individuals from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.
Call 584-3600, extension 364, for an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome at both
locations.
Anxiety disorders, the most common mental health problem in the country, are
also the most treatable of psychiatric disorders, according to Dr. David H» Barlow,
director of the Center for Phobia and Anxiety Disorders. But he said that individuals
with severe anxiety-related problems can see as many as 10 health care professionals
before being correctly diagnosed.
“More than 16 million Americans suffer from an anxiety disorder. But one in
four individuals with an anxiety disorder has not received any treatment at all, let alone
an effective treatment,” said Barlow.
Dr. Xavior L. Mastrianni, medical director of Four Winds - Saratoga, said,
“Despite their prevalence, anxiety disorders have been recognized as a distinct category
of psychiatric problems only in the last decade. Today, knowledgeable health
professionals can alleviate such disorders and help their patients lead normal lives, often
in a matter of months.”
The site coordinator at Four Winds - Saratoga will be Shirley McMorris, Ph.D.,
who is the staff psychologist responsible for the successful inpatient anxiety treatment
groups.
Four Winds - Saratoga is also offering a 12-session outpatient group teaching
coping strategy to reduce or manage the effects of anxiety disorders.
Group therapy has proven useful because it assists people in confronting their
fears. “Once people embrace the belief that anxiety is uncomfortable but not harmful,
they can go about the tasts that allow them to overcome their anxiety,” according to
McMorris.
The Phobia and Anxiety Disorders Clinic, which is part of the Center for Stress
and Anxiety Disorders, is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in
identifying and treating anxiety disorders.
Four Winds - Saratoga is a psychiatric health system offering a continuvm of care
at four levels of treatment intensity, including inpatient, partial hospital and outpatient
for children, adolescents, college students and adults.

Ehieabeth Rekoeyat Governor Mario M. Cuomo is convening a Children’s Education Summit,
Isaura Santiago Santiago On April 27-28, 1994, to advance the recommendations of the Governor’s Special
Commission on Educational Structure, Policies and Practices. The Commission’s
Report, Putting Children First, was released in December 1993.
Donald M. Stewart
The Special Commission was chaired by H. Patrick Swygert, President of
the University at Albany, who will host the two-day event at the Recreation and
Convocation Center on the University campus.
The Children’s Summit will bring together more than 200 leaders in
government, education and business to put into action many of the good ideas
concerning the state and direction of public education contained in the
Commission’s Report. The goal of the Summit is to reach consensus on a series
of specific legislative initiatives that will comprise a coordinated and
comprehensive program to reform the State’s public schools and provide all
children with opportunties for educational excellence and high quality instruction.
Governor Cuomo will deliver the Opening Address to the Summit at 9:30
am on Wednesday, April 27th. He is expected to articulate broad goals for the
State’s education reform effort and his vision for creating the new schools,
curricula and learning environments required to meet the expanding information
and workplace demands of the next century.
The Summit will focus on four main themes: creating innovative 21st
Century schools; expanding early childhood programs to disadvantaged youngsters
and strengthening relationships between schools and human service agencies
serving children and their families; establishing standards for student and school
performance that are linked to high quality curriculum, instruction and assessment;
and improving the professional development of teachers and school personnel to
the benefit of children and building the capacity of schools to effectively use
technology to shape the way students learn and communicate.
The Summit will feature remarks from prominent educators, including
State Education Commissioner Thomas Sobol, Kentucky Commissioner of
Education Thomas C. Boysen, Marc Tucker, Director of the National Standards
Project and Dr. Jack Foster, the former Secretary to the Governor of Kentucky
for Education and the Humanities. Lt Governor Stan Lundine and Assembly
Speaker Sheldon Silver are also scheduled to address the Summit.
President H. Patrick Swygert expressed the hope that the Summit would
stimulate prompt State action to improve New York’s public schools.
"As the Special Commission reported, there is an urgent need to
comprehensively reform our public school system," President Swygert said. "We
must be committed to raising student performance standards, encouraging flexible
school practices and learning opportunities, building collaborations with private . -
industry and communitiy institutions and promoting the technology and academic
instruction all children will need if they are to be propoerly prepared for an
increasingly competitive and complex world."
It is expected that the Summit will conclude with the Governor conducting
a press conference Thursday afternoon at 1:30pm in the Atrium of the Recreation
and Convocation Center. The Governor is to be joined by legislative and
education leaders.
The press is welcomed to attend the plenary session of the Summit on
