Benezet has announced. Milton C. Olson, vice president for management and
planning since 1966, and Charles T. O'Reilly, acting vice president for
academic affairs during the past year anda half, will be leaving the top
administrative echelon.
Dr. O'Reilly has requested return to his permanent position as dean of
the School of Social Welfare and Dr. Olson has accepted appointment in the
School of Education as professor of business education, a position held in former
years. He will replace Herbert A. Tonne who has resigned. Prior to his post as
vice president, Dr. Olson was dean of the School of Business.
In his letter requesting that he be able to return to the School of Social
Welfare, Dr. O'Reilly wrote, ''My colleagues in Social Welfare were very
patient when I had to ask them to extend my leave until the summer of 1970, and
they understood your request that I stay on for the first semester of 1970-71. I
hope, however, that I can be allowed to return to my job as dean by the start of
the second semester. The past year has been a rewarding one because I have
received generous cooperation from faculty and administrators. ...I have
enjoyed my association with you andI am looking forward to continuing it
when I return to the School." *

Dr. Olson, in his letter, said in part, 'After serving since September 1966
as Vice President for Management and Planning, I request that my appointment
to this position be terminated at the end of this semester so that I might accept
a position as Professor of Business Education in the School of Education. This
position becomes available at the beginning of the spring semester so I hope I
can be released from my present duties at that time. I shall continue to do what-
ever I can to make this University a great institution and will continue to cooperate
with you in achieving this goal."
Two ad hoc advisory search committees will be formed to review candidates
for the positions. President Benezet has the ultimate responsibility to nominate
to the University Council and the SUNY Central Administration new vice presidents
for each post. Central Council of the Student Association, the Graduate Student
Association, the Executive Committee of the Senate, deans, and other administrative
officers will help form the two committees.
In a memorandum sent to student, faculty, and administrative leadership,
the president said, "'
.+-I look forward to the opportunity to express fitting
appreciation to Dr. Olson and Dr. O'Reilly for their leadership in our university
community. We count on them for continuing leadership while seeking their
successors,"

The State University Theatre, in cooperation with the university's Theatre
Council, will present the first major production of the 1970-71 season on
October 14-18, on the main stage of the Performing Arts Center. Joseph
Balfior is directing Camino Real by Tennessee Williams for the season's
opening play.
Williams described Camino Real as ''the construction of another world, a
separate existence. ...the appeal of this work is its unusual degree of freedom."
The highly assorted characters move through their insular lives during the short
time span of the play, toward their various destinations, Each person is a unique
individual yet at the same time is symbolic of certain human characteristics, The
play is divided into a prologue and sixteen ''blocks'' or scenes which have esentially
no time lapse between them, An intricate multilevel set is being constructed for
Mr. Balfior's cast of 35 performers.
Curtain time is 7:30 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday, with a 2:30 p.m.
matinee on Sunday. Tickets are $1 with student tax, $2 without.
Scenic designs for the play are by Robert J. Donnelly, Costume designs are
by Micki Koob, lighting designs by Jerome Hanley, and choreography by Adrienne
S. Posner. The composer and musical director is Ronald Abel.
An added attraction in the Performing Arts Center the week of Camino Real will
be the annual art show of the Albany Artists Group, Inc. in the second floor lounge.

English guitarist and lutenist, Julian Bream, will perform in concert at
State University of New York at Albany, Performing Arts Center at 8:30
Monday evening, October 19, His appearance is sponsored by the SUNYA
Music Council and will be in the main theatre.
Mr. Bream has been described as one of the most distinctive and sought-
after artists of our time. His special contribution has been to extend the
range of musical interest backward through discovered music for the lute and
forward through recent music for the guitar. The New York Times has
written, ''Mr, Bream scarcely needs more praise at this point for he has won
all the encomiums in the book and still deserves them,"
The 37-year old native of London gained an early interest in music from his
father. He attended the Royal College of Music and became intrigued by the
music of the Elizabethan lute. He later formed an Elizabethan Consort to pre-
sent the music of that period.
Bream's annual tours of American have been well received and he has per-
formed several times in Carnegie Hall. In 1965, he inaugurated his international
summer School for guitarists in Wiltshire, England. Students from throughout
the world have attended,
Admission is $,50 for students, $2 for faculty and staff, and $3 for the
general public. Tickets will go on sale at 7:30 the night of the performance
at the box office.

William Short, assistant professor of education and supervisor
of Spanish in The Milne School, State University of New York at Albany,
is the author of a monograph degribing recent excavations and anthropo-
logical research on the prehistoric "Folsom Culture of North America."
The work has been published by the Guadalupe Press, Merida, Yucatan,
Mexico, under the Spanish title, "El Hombre Folsom".
Prehistoric man in the southwestern United States has been a special
interest of Dr. Short beginning with his undergraduate study at the
University of Texas and continuing through his master's degree work at
Trinity University and his doctorate in philosophy from the department
of American anthropology in the University of Madrid in Spain.
Professor Short's writing and lecturing on the subject have earned
him listings in the "Dictionary of International Biography" published in
London, in "Who's Who (South and Southwest)", and "Personalities in the
South".
The reference section of the Spanish National Museum of Ethnology
in Madrid plans to catalog copies of several professional publications
of Dr. Short, according to information received recently from the curator
of the mseum. A specialist in Navajo education and Southwest ethnology,
Dr. Short was invited to write for the Madrid-published magazine, "Revista
Espanola de Antropologia Americana'', when his oral examination and disserta-
tion defense at the University of Madrid were rated sobresaliente, the
highest of three possible marks.
For the past two years Dr. Short has been a demonstration teacher
and supervisor of student teachers of Spanish in the teacher education
program of SUNYAL400 Washington Ave., Albany, New York 12203

UNDEFEATED DANES TAKE TO THE ROAD
The State University at Albany first-year football club, winner
in its first two games at home, will be on the road the next three
weekends, beginning with a visit to Towson State, Baltimore, Saturday
(October 24). The Great Danes then play at Marist and Plattsburgh,
before returning home for the season finale against Hudson Valley
Community College, November 14.
Head coach Bob Ford pronounced himself "extremely happy to be
2-0," after Albany's 25-24 upset over arch-rival Siena College last
week. "At the first day of practice in September, I didn't think
we'd win a game all year," the former St. Lawrence University grid
boss admitted. "We're still making too many mistakes and our offense
is sporadic, but we've come a long way and I'm very pleased."
Ford says Towson will be the best team Albany has faced. The
Tigers, in their second year of football, play a varsity schedule
and are 3-2 following a 14-10 victory over Jersey City State last
Saturday. They opened with wins over Gallaudet (29-0) and Washington
and Lee (34-14), then dropped decisions to Randolph-Macon (36-19)
and Frostburg State (10-8).
The Towson offense has sputtered the last two and a half games
and coach Carl Runk may make some changes. A pair of sophomore
running backs, Dave Franklin and Bob Young, could step in for
Jisfepa foto

Dennis Champney and Randy Canal, both of whom are slightly
injured. Champney gained 738 yards rushing last year, while Canal
has been the Tigers' leading runner this fall. Quarterback Al Dodds
passed for more than 1500 yards a year ago, but has had trouble this
fall. His favorite receiver is Bob Remeto. The Tigers lack depth,
but have a strong defense that has allowed more than 14 points
just once this season.
Albany will pin its hopes on the running of tailback Bernie
Boggs (Ballston Lake) and a good defense against{the rush. Boggs
gained 159 yards against Siena, increasing his two-game total to
307, an average of 7.1 per carry. The agile 5-8, 190-pounder
scored his fourth touchdown of the season, kicked a field goal and
two PAT's to bring his point total to 35.
Against Siena, the Danes overcame an 8-7 halftime deficit with
18 third-quarter points and took a 25-8 lead into the final period.
Siena rallied for two TD's, the final one with 23 seconds remaining,
to cut the final margin to a point. Ford praised the offensive line
for continued improvement and the defensive secondary for "coming
of age" with four interceptions.
In addition to Boggs, offensive standouts were flanker Ernie
Thomas (Rochester), who won a starting job as a sub the week before;
split end Ed Williams (Albany), who scored on a long pass play
(40 yards) for the second straight week; and tackles Bernie Pooler
(Watertown) and Rich Wesley (Hemlock).
Royce VanEvera (Wallkill) intercepted his third pass of the
youny season from his defensive halfback position. Aerial thefts
alo were turned in by halfback John Johnson (Albany), safety
Roy Farnsworth (Shortsville), and linebacker Nick Conte (New Hlartford) .
Mee
Defensive tackle Steve Finn(Albany) and linebacker Jack Otto
(Lockport) also stood out on defense.

Observation of New York's legal system in action was provided to 55
students of The Milne School, State University of New York at Albany, and their
teachers recently by John S, Bartlett, Jr., Albany County Clerk. The students
are enrolled in an experimental course, ''Law in Society, '' designed to familiarize
citizens with law phases encountered in everyday life.
Explanations by Mr. Bartlett of the organization of the New York court
system and the functions of each court were followed by attendance at trials in
the County Court during the morning and at the Court of Appeals in the afternoon.
In spite of the technical nature of the cases, the students were able to follow the
discussions of the lawyers and seven judges in the Court of Appeals on areas of
criminal law which they are studying in class.
Students of the SUNYA laboratory school were accompanied by Gustave
Mueller, associate professor of education, and their student-teachers, Miss Judy
Bergmann, Miss Margaret Capell, and Miss Vivian Moy. Criminal Law, domestic
relations law, contract law, and laws pertaining to the draft are among the topics
covered in "Law in Society,"
New York Bar Association members, and local
clergy, have attended the classes to assist the students in understanding and eval-
uating the legal system under which they live.

James C. Mancuso, associate professor of psychology at State University
of New York at Albany, has edited, with commentary, "Readings for A Cognitive
Theory of Personality", published recently by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New
York.
The 576-page book covers 34 articles. One reviewer has written, "The
slections in this collection of readings thoroughly explicate a theory of
behavior. The theory, centering on cognitive aspects of individual functioning,
represents an approach to personality study which is empirical, person-centered,
and, at the same time, humanistic."
Dr. Mancuso, who joined the SUNYA faculty in 1961, last spring was on
sabbatical in residence at the University of California at Janta Cruz where
he continued work on another book on abnormal psychology which applies the
cognitive theory, subject of his new book, to the interpretation of abnormal
behavior. During the summer he was in Mexico on a research fellowship from
The Research Foundation of State University of New York to continue studies
on public attitudes toward mental illness.
Professor Mancuso, an alumnus of Dickinson College, earned his doctorate
in philosophy at the University of Rochester.

Large shaped canvases by the Japanese artist, Shozo Nagano, will be
shown on the Gallery's second floor, Mr. Nagano was born in Kanazama,
Japan, and now lives in New York City. He utilizes large flat color areas
and actual shaping of the eanvas to create changing optical effects anda
sense of indeterminate space.
The block prints of Margery Koster will be shown on the main floor of the
Gallery. Mrs. Koster, who lives in Grand Rapid, Mich., superimposes type
and a myriad of found objects on her printing blocks, Like most contemporary
printmakers, she experiments freely with her medium but retains the unique
qualities traditionally possessed by block prints -- the strongly drawn image
and a richness and intensity of color.
"Paintings by Shozo Nagano" and ''Prints by Margery Koster'' will open
with a reception for the artists on Tuesday evening, Nov. 17 from 7:30 to 10.

Significant action taken Wednesday at the four-hour-long annual meeting of the
Faculty Student Association of State University of New York at Albany included a
change in by-laws which calls for a new makeup of the board of directors, and the
addition of a second meeting of the full membership board of 25 in the spring sem-
ester to review fiscal affairs.
The membership also approved plans for a meeting of the new board early in
November to review the 1970-71 budget and to make recommendations to the fall
membership board before the end of the fall semester, A third proposal calling for
different representation on the full membership board was withdrawn by its student
sponsors, All action was virtually unanimous.
Membership on the new board is all ex-officio being comprised of the president;
vice president for management and planning; vice president for student affairs; chair-
man of the Senate's personnel policies council; president, Central Council; president,
Graduate Student Association; vice chairman of the Senate; vice chairman elect of the
Senate; and vice president of Central Council. Provision is thereby made for equal
representation of students, faculty, and administration,
The financial report showed a net excess of income over expense of $29, 872. Total
net income was $268, 593 with food service representing $221,097. Net losses equaled
$148, 682 of which the bookstore represented the largest loss of $70, 119. Support for
university activities and the Mohawk and Goodman properties totaled $90, 039.
In President Benezet's remarks opening the meeting he said that the board owed a
stable business organization to the institution, its membership and to the state with
whom it contracts. Observing that FSA exists to give good service to the university
community, the president indicated the association should be responsive to the broad
spectrum it serves and that adjustments proposed for the board of directors were in
line with the spirit of openness in decision-making which affects the constituents of
the campus.

State University of New York at Albany has announced a new program in social
policy analysis, program development, and social administration, This fall the uni-
versity launched a program that permits graduate students to concentrate, during
the second year, in social policy analysis, program development, and social admin-
istration. The program is planned so that all students in the School of Social Welfare
take generic social work courses during the first year and have what are essentially
casework field placements.
During the second year, students electing the new program, under study for
several years, take special seminars in social policy analysis and program develop-
ment and choose from among a wide group of electives, including urban problems
and reform, social welfare law, mental health and the law, organizatioral theory,
goals of public policy, public decision-making, comparative social welfare, and
analysis of macro organizational behavior, All students are required to elect at
least two courses in other departments and schools at the university so that they will
be familiar with other disciplines and approaches, The research requirements con-
tinue to be the same for all students in the School of Social Welfare.
Field work placements are in multi-disciplinary settings in state agencies and
commissions in the Capital Area, This year students are placedin the experimental
Eleanor Roosevelt Development Services of the New York Department of Mental
Health, the Social Development Planning Commission, and the School Social Ser-
vices Division of the New York Department of Education. The program was planned
to permit agencies, supervisors, and students to select each other and to assure

students maximum lattitude in choosing their own assignments from a wide group
of relevant alternatives,
There are weekly meetings of students and faculty and monthly meetings of
agency personnel and faculty to bring about prompt integration of field and class-
room learning, to develop criteria for evaluating field performance, to share and
solve problems, and to evaluate and systematically improve the program before it
grows beyond experimental stage, The design of the new program called for only a
limited number of students during the first year with the result that there are more
agencies with placement opportunities than there are students to fill them,

Two one-man exhibitions are scheduled to be shown at the Art Gallery at
State University of New York at Albany from Nov. 17 through Dec. 20.
Large shaped canvases by the Japanese artist, Shozo Nagano, will be
shown on the Gallery's second floor, Mr. Nagano was born in Kanazama,
Japan, and now lives in New York City. He utilizes large flat color areas
and actual shaping of the eanvas to create changing optical effects anda
sense of indeterminate space,
The block prints of Margery Koster will be shown on the main floor of the
Gallery. Mrs. Koster, who lives in Grand Rapid, Mich., superimposes type
and a myriad of found objects on her printing blocks, Like most contemporary
printmakers, she experiments freely with her medium but retains the unique
qualities traditionally possessed by block prints -- the strongly drawn image
and a richness and intensity of color.
"Paintings by Shozo Nagano" and ''Prints by Margery Koster" will open
with a reception for the artists on Tuesday evening, Nov. 17 from 7:30 to 10.
The reception and exhibition are open to the public.

man of the Senate's personnel policies council; president, Central Council; president,
Graduate Student Association; vice chairman of the Senate; vice chairman elect of the

spectrum it serves and that adjustments proposed for the board of directors were in
line with the spirit of openness in decision-making which affects the constituents of
the campus.
