SPELLMAN TO HEAD ALLEN COLLEGIATE CENTER
Named
Seth W. Spellman has been named dean of the newly-dedteated
James E. Allen, Jr., Collegiate Center, which this fall will begin
to offer a time-shortened baccalaureate degree program at State
University of New York at Albany. The announcements of the naming of
the center and the selection of Dr. Spellman as its head were made simul-
taneously at a press conference April 4.
Dr. Spellman has been a member of the SUNYA faculty since 1967,
when he joined the School of Social Welfare as associate professor. He
ias served as assistant to the President since 1969 and was interim
chairman of the department of Afro-American studies from February to
June 1969. He has chaired the committee that developed the accelerated
degree program this year. Dr. Spellman came to Albany after retiring
as a Lt. Colonel from 16 years of service with the U. S. Army. He
holds a B.S. in history from North Carolina A & T College, and an M.S.
in psychiatric social work and a Doctorate of Social Welfare, both
from Columbia University.
University President Louis T. Benezet said Dr. Spellman “admirably
reflects" the qualities of “an experienced and enterprising educator who
will head the new program with enthusiasm."
In accepting his new position, Dr. Spellman noted that the Allen
Center “offers and should continue to offer an option for undergraduate
study that is unlike such study in the traditional mold." He said that
programs developed by the Center "will ... be interdisciplinary and

State University of New York at Albany
Spellman to Head Allen Collegiate Center page 2
approached in a manner by which the student is systematically exposed
to efforts concerned with intellectually integrating knowledge gained
through study at the center."
The new option offered to qualified students through the Allen
Center is that of combining their final year of high school and their
first year of college. The result will be to shorten by one year the
high school/college sequence. The center will not duplicate any existing
undergraduate programs at the university, but will draw its faculty
from the many divisions of SUNYA.
A vanguard group of 50 students will begin studying at the Allen
Center in the fall. During their first year at the center, they will
satisfy requirements for high school diplomas through accreditation
facilities of The Milne School, part of the university, or from the high
schools from which they were admitted.
The center was named for the late James E. Allen, Jr., New York
State Commissioner of Education and President of the University of the
State of New York (not to be confused with the State University of New
York), for 14 years beginning in 1955. He resigned in 1969 to become
United States Commissioner of Education. Following his resignation
from that post after serving for a number of months, Dr. Allen continued
his career in education as a visiting lecturer and consultant in education
and public affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and Inter-
national Affairs, Princeton University. He died October 16, 1971, at
the age of 60.
President Benezet noted that Dr. Allen "was an esteemed educational
leader who spent much of his professional life in Albany. He believed
in educational innovation and the interdependence of education and other
State University of New York at Albany

institutions. These qualities will be emphasized in the initial program
of the center ... The firmness of our commitment to ... (the center's)
purposes is made clear by naming it for a professional educator of the
stature readily recognized in the name of James E. Allen, Jr."
The initial program offered by the Allen Center, "Man and His
Institutions," will focus on basic institutional structures of society
and will help the student attain an in-depth understanding of those
structures. Other programs will be introduced at a later date, but
ail will share the same educational approach of emphasizing the inter-
xelationship of fields of knowledge, rather than concentrating on specific
Gisciplines as separate entities.
During its first year, the center will be funded primarily by a
$100,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation. Thereafter, its support
will rely on State funding. Approximately 100 applications for the program,
which will offer a Bachelor of Arts degree in Man and His Institutions,
already have been received and the number is increasing steadily. No
admissions decisions have been made to date. Applications are being
received from students throughout the state. While the program has
a close affiliation with The Milne School, there is no policy giving
Milne applicants priority.
At present there are 24 faculty members on the instructional staff,
which has been meeting and planning curricula since January. Repre-
sented are many disciplines including philosophy, sociology, history,
political science, psychology, chemistry, mathematics, and English.
The faculty is from the university's College of Arts and Sciences, the
School of Education, and The Milne School.

State University of New York at Albany
Spellman to Head Allen Collegiate Center page 4
Dr. Spellman said that the educational focus is unique; namely,
intellectually integrated, interdisciplinary education. The program
should prepare students for a wide range of governmental, business,
education, and public service occupations and, additionally, will serve
as preparation for further study at the graduate level in such fields
as public administration, social welfare, criminal justice, education,
political science, law, sociology, public affairs, and some of the other
of the social and behavioral science fields.
A departure from the conventional approach will be the availability
of instructional personnel to students both during the day and in residence
halls during the evening. Another feature of the program will allow
commuting students who need assistance academically to come into the
residence halls for several nights. At those times they can receive
additional instruction and later resume commuting. Dr. Spellman indi-
cated that there would be a close relationship between instructional
personnel and students. "This is one of the reasons it will remain a
small center in terms of numbers," he said.
Plans are for 150 more time-shortened degree students to be admitted
to the center in the fall of 1973. Once the new college is fully
operative, a goal for post-1976, it is anticipated that its enrollment
will be 1,600 students, approximately 1,000 resident students and 600
commuters. The center will concentrate its program on the Western
Avenue campus of the university. Students will utilize faciliteis in
the academic buildings and in the Alumni Quadrangle residential area.
The lower division of the center will bear responsibility for the
completion of grades 12-14 in two academic years. Its upper division
will be an academically specialized unit offering the Bachelor of Arts
degree in Man and His Institutions. Transfer into, and out from, the
college to other academic divisions of SUNYA will be flexible,

MILNE STUDENTS TO VISIT MEXICO
Students of Spanish at The Milne School will visit Mexico
during their 1972 mini-mester project concerned with Mexican
anthropology. The first Mexican-United States cooperative program
for high school students will include attendance at classes in
the Instituto Comercial Bancario in Merida, with field work at
the famous archeological sites at Urmal and Chichen Itza.
The students will be the personal guests of the governor
of Yucatan and the mayor of Merida. Costs for the instruction,
transportation, living arrangements, and field expenses will

industrialists, and the Mexican government.
"Articulation of Language Programs in the Secondary School"
was the topic presented recently by Richard Smith, supervisor
of French in The Milne School, at the Capital District Conference
of the New York Federation of Foreign Language Teachers at
Russell Sage College in Troy. He described innovations in the SUNYA
laboratory school's modern language program for foreign language
teachers, language supervisors, school administrators, and college
professors, primarily from the capital district. Topics covered
included total immersion courses featuring student interchange
with the Canadian-French-speaking Ecole Monseigneur Deziel in Levis,
a group of youngsters studying the Montreal community, and the
“Living Language Mini-mester in France" to begin in mid-May.

MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA
The Minnesota Orchestra will be heard in concert Saturday,
Apr. 15, beginning at 1 p.m. in the Main Theater of the university's
Performing Arts Center under the sponsorship of the Music Council.
The Minnesota Orchestra's long tradition of musical eminence
reaches back to its founding in 1903 as the Minneapolis Orchestra.
A succession of great conductors and years of exceptional artistry
have placed it in the position of one of America's foremost
orchestras.
For its Albany appearance, the orchestra will be under the
baton of its associate conductor, George Trautwein. Trautwein
was educated at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and, before
turning seriously to the art of conducting, served as violinist
in some of the leading symphonic organizations of America. In
1957, after having studied conducting at Tanglewood with Kous-
sevitzky and Bernstein, he studied, under a Fulbright Grant, at
Mozarteum Academy in Salzburg with Dorati, von Karajan, Szell,
and Paumgartner. Before going to Minnesota, Trautwein conducted
the Dallas Symphony.
On Saturday's program the orchestra will perform Weber's
"Overture to Oberon," Hindemith's "Symphonic Metamorphoses,"
Stravinsky's "'Firebird' Suite," and Debussy's "La Mer."
Tickets may be obtained at the door before the concert on
Saturday at noon. Prices are $1 for SUNYA students with tax,
$2 for SUNYA faculty and staff, and $3 for the general public.

ADULT BASIC EDUCATION FUNDING
John A. Ether, professor in the department of curriculum and
instruction, and Harry Lewis, director of adult basic education,
State University of New York at Albany, have announced that new funding
of approximately $75,000 has been granted from the U. S. Office of
Education for 1972-73. The grant will provide for an institute to be
held from July 31 to Aug. 18 on the SUNYA campus. A follow-up seminar
is scheduled for the early part of 1973.
The institute will serve 50 adult educators presently supervising
curriculum implementation design and evaluation. Daniel Ganeles,
associate professor in the department of curriculum and instruction, has
been an active participant in planning for the institute and will be
involved in teaching.
Since 1965 SUNYA has been extensively involved in training and
educational programs for professionals working with disadvantaged and
undereducated youth and adults. In addition to summer institutes,
workshops, and in-service activities, Adult Basic Education offers a
concentrated program leading to the Master of Science in curriculum and
planning development. Particularly concerned with preparing professional
personnel with the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary to
initiate, develop and evaluate curricula, the basic part of the program
provides for exploration and analysis of underlying and general principles
and of their support in the social and behavioral sciences.
Graduates of the program work in various fields, such as
curriculum coordinators, specialists in education of undereducated
1400 Washington Ave., Albany, New York 72503 Area Code 518 457-4901 + 02 + 03

adults and in training programs for underemployed adults, and as
instructors in adult basic education. An interdisciplinary endeavor,
courses offered have wide-ranging concerns with reading disabilities,
teaching the disadvantaged, counseling, occupational analysis, demo-
graphy, social stratification and the community.
The target population for students working in the area of adult
basic education is adults who have less than a high school education
and those who are illiterate.
Based on the concept that adults need a different teaching approach
and different materials than children, SUNYA through the School of
Education reportedly is the only institution in the United States which
has a curriculum development emphasis in adult education. The objective
, of the program is to guide teachers to create their own curricula
to suit individual needs and classroom needs, rather than relying on
pre-conceived curricula which may not suit the particular environment
in which teachers find themselves. Mr. Lewis states that training
techniques, curricula and evaluations of adult education programs
in many areas of the country have been modified and upgraded as a
result of the program at SUNYA.

SUNYA TO DEDICATE INDIAN QUAD
State University at Albany will dedicate the last of its four
residence quadrangles, Indian Quad, Friday, April 21. In addition
to the traditional simulated cornerstone-laying and dedication
dinner, there will be an Indian ceremony in the Flag Room, where
Indian artwork is on display. The schedule calls for cornerstone
placement at 4:30 p.m., dinner from 4:30-6:30, and the Indian ceremony
and reception at 7 p.m. Several Indian dishes will be on the dinner
menu,
Participating in the ceremony will be Tom Two-Arrows, the
Indian artist who prepared the authentic designs on the skins
mounted in the Flag Room. He will be joined by several friends
from his Onondaga and neighboring tribes, who will present songs
and dances in costume. The reception following the ceremony will
provide opportunities for conversation and questions.
Carrying the Indian motif throughout the quad, each dormitory
unit, or hall, is named after an area tribe. In addition, much of
the carpeting is authentic Indian design. Also, only Indian colors
have been used in the quad decor; that is, only those colors which
Indians found in their natural state, such as in roots. Primarily
oranges, browns, and yellows have been used.
Although nearly identical in outward appearance to its three
companions, Colonial, Dutch, and State quads, Indian Quad is different
in many respects. For one thing, it can accommodate more students:
its 1,321 capacity is more than any of its predecessors. Whereas

SUNYA to Dedicate Indian Quad page 2
the other quads were designed primarily for five or six students
per suite, the eight low-rise dorms on Indian represent a return
to the traditional two-man rooms construction. Only some 25% of
the space is devoted to the suite system.
Another significant difference involves the lounge areas.
Centralization and consolidation of public areas has resulted in
fewer lobbies. There also is less space devoted to staff apartments.
Smaller meeting rooms have been carved out of the excess space.
The quad dining room operates on a different system than the
cafeteria on other quads. An "island system" of food service, as
Opposed to a cafeteria line style, has been instituted. Rather
than have everyone make his way through a continuous line, regardless
of what or how much he wants, items are available at separate
"islands" or counters. For example, a student who desires only a
glass of milk and a piece of pie need not pass through the entire
dinner line, The pick-and-choose method speeds service and movement.

RENSSELAERVILLE
Thirty-five to 40 parole board members representing some 25
states will be gathering for five days this month in Rensselaerville
to participate in atraining program designed especially for decision-
makers in their areas. The program, known as the National Parole
Institute, is sponsored by the National Probation and Parole
Institutes, an organization of key authorities in the parole field.
The training program is under the direction of Professor Vincent
O'Leary, of the School of Criminal Justice, State University of
New York at Albany.
The institute is the only national program of its kind designed
to train the personnel who are responsible for making decisions
to release inmates of state prisons on parole supervision or to hold
them longer or until the expiration of their maximum sentence.
Institute participants live and work together over a five-day
session which emphasizes practical issues in problem-solving,
rather than attempting to propose definitive answers or standards
for parole board members and their decision-making functions.
The faculty will include Professor O'Leary, as well as
Professor Fred Cohen and Professor Donald J. Newman, both of the
School of Criminal Justice. Staff and faculty will not hold a
large number of lecture sessions, but will work directly with

participants in examining alternatives in parole problems. The
tone of the institute is informal, with an emphasis on involvement
by those participants.
The sessions will constitute the 14th National Parole Institute
to take place since 1961 under the sponsorship of the National Parole
and Probation Institutes, as a part of a continuing program for
the training of personnel and the promotion of research in this
field. Past institutes held under the direction of Professor
O'Leary have been uniformly endorsed by participants as a
realistic approach to everyday dilemmas in decision-making. The
conference center of the Institute of Man and Science in

FOSSIECK TO RETIRE IN AUGUST
Theodore H. Fossieck, principal of The Milne School, has
announced plans to retire Aug. 31 after 25 years of service to the
campus laboratory school of State University of New York at Albany.
Dr. Fossieck came to Albany in 1947 as an assistant professor
of guidance and director of guidance at The Milne School. The following
year he was appointed principal and he has served in that capacity since
that time.
Student-teaching has changed in nature and emphasis as a
campus school objective during those 25 years. From an experience
shared with another student-teacher on a one period per day basis, it
has become a full-time eight-week experience, Pre-student-teaching
laboratory experience and the pilot-testing of new methods and materials
of teaching in secondary schools have been added to the campus school's
missions during Dr. Fossieck's tenure.
The method of admitting students to Milne also has changed
during Dr. Fossieck's period at Milne, Selection presently is based
solely upon performance on a standardized test as contrasted with
previous procedures in which priority was given to brothers and sisters
of students in school, the order of submission of applications, and to
children of Milne alumni or SUNYA faculty. The new procedure,

Dr. Fossieck's professional activities have been concentrated
on the work of campus laboratory schools, particularly with the
National Association of Laboratory Schools, and with the New York
State Association of Secondary School Principals. He was chairman
of the High School-College Articulation Committee and chairman of
District 16 of the principals' group. He has represented the associa-
tion for 20 years on the Jenkins' Memorial Teacher Education
Scholarship Committee of the New York State Congress of Parents
and Teachers.

of service, to the U. S. Army Retired Reserve in the rank of Colonel,
Military Intelligence, after commanding the 1389th Logistical Command
in Albany. His World War II service included command of the Counter
Intelligence Corps Detachment of the XV Corps in Europe for which he
earned the Bronze Star for outstanding service.
In addition to his doctorate in educational administration,
Dr. Fossieck has a master's degree from Teachers' College,
Columbia University, and a master's degree from Washington
University in St. Louis. His undergraduate work was done at

SCHOOL OF NURSING ACCREDITED
Louis T. Benezet, president of State University of New York at
Albany, has announced that the SUNYA School of Nursing has been
granted full accreditation by the National League for Nursing. The school
was established on the Albany campus in 1967, applied for accreditation
last fall, and was visited by League representatives in March.
"It is always an event of satisfaction when a professional school
in the university attains accreditation by its national reviewing group,"
Dr. Benezet remarked. ''The School of Nursing at the University Center
at Albany has made rapid progress ina short time and against a mounting
number of financial constraints. We all congratulate Dean Dorothy Major
on the accreditation action."
Dean Major also commented on the budgetary limitations, noting
that the school is able to accept only about 60 freshmen a year. For the
fall of 1972 more than 500 applicants have sought freshman admission
and another 150 applied for admission by transfer. Present enrollment
totals 142, including graduates of hospital schools and two-year
community colleges.
"In view of the great need for nurses educated at the baccalaureate
level and the obvious demand of young people for this type of education, it
is imperative that State University make every effort to meet these needs,"
Dr. Major stated.

SPELLMAN TO HEAD ALLEN COLLEGIATE CENTER
Seth W. Spellman has been named dean of the newly-dedicated
James E. Allen, Jr., Collegiate Center, which this fall will begin
to offer a time-shortened baccalaureate degree program at State
University of New York at Albany. The announcements of the naming of
the center and the selection of Dr. Spellman as its head were made simul-
taneously at a press conference April 4.
Dr. Spellman has been a member of the SUNYA faculty since 1967,
when he joined the School of Social Welfare as associate professor. He
has served as assistant to the President since 1969 and was interim
chairman of the department of Afro-American studies from February to
June 1969. He has chaired the committee that developed the accelerated
degree program this year. Dr. Spellman came to Albany after retiring
as a Lt. Colonel from 16 years of service with the U. S. Army. He
holds a B.S. in history from North Carolina A & T College, and an M.S.
in psychiatric social work and a Doctorate of Social Welfare, both
from Columbia University.
University President Louis T. Benezet said Dr. Spellman “admirably
reflects" the qualities of "an experienced and enterprising educator who
will head the new program with enthusiasm."
In accepting his new position, Dr. Spellman noted that the Allen
Center “offers and should continue to offer an option for undergraduate
study that is unlike such study in-the traditional mold.“ He said that
programs developed by the Center "will ... be interdisciplinary and
1400 Washington Ave., Albany, New York 12203 * Area Code 518 457-4901 * 02 * 03
State University of New York at Albany
Spellman to Head Allen Collegiate Center page 2
approached in a manner by which the student is systematically exposed
to efforts concerned with intellectually integrating knowledge gained
through study at the center."
The new option offered to qualified students through the Allen
Center is that of combining their final year of high school and their
first year of college. The result will be to shorten by one year the
high school/college sequence. The center will not duplicate any existing
undergraduate programs at the university, but will draw its faculty
from the many divisions of SUNYA.
A vanguard group of 50 students will begin studying at the Allen
Center in the fall. During their first year at the center, they will
satisfy requirements for high school diplomas through accreditation
facilities of The Milne School, part of the university, or from the high
schools from which they were admitted.
The center was named for the late James E. Allen, Jr., New York
State Commissioner of Education and President of the University of the
State of New York (not to be confused with the State University of New
York), for 14 years beginning in 1955. He resigned in 1969 to become
United States Commissioner of Education. Following his resignation
from that post after serving for a number of months, Dr. Allen continued
his career in education as a visiting lecturer and consultant in education
and public affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and Inter-
national Affairs, Princeton University. He died October 16, 1971, at
the age of 60.
President Benezet noted that Dr. Allen "was an esteemed educational
leader who spent much of his professional life in Albany. He believed
in educational innovation and the interdependence of education and other
State University of New York at Albany

institutions. These qualities will be emphasized in the initial program
of the center ... The firmness of our commitment to ... (the center's)
purposes is made clear by naming it for a professional educator of the
stature readily recognized in the name of James E. Allen, Jr."
The initial program offered by the Allen Center, "Man and His
Institutions,"
will focus on basic institutional structures of society
and will help the student attain an in-depth understanding of those
structures. Other programs will be introduced at a later date, but
all will share the same educational approach of emphasizing the inter-
relationship of fields of knowledge, rather than concentrating on specific
disciplines as separate entities.
During its first year, the center will be funded primarily by a
$100,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation. Thereafter, its support
will rely on State funding. Approximately 100 applications for the program,
which will offer a Bachelor of Arts degree in Man and His Institutions,
already have been received and the number is increasing steadily. No
admissions decisions have been made to date. Applications are being
received from students throughout the state. While the program has
a close affiliation with The Milne School, there is no policy giving
Milne applicants priority.
At present there are 24 faculty members on the instructional staff,
which has been meeting and planning curricula since January. Repre-
sented are many disciplines including philosophy, sociology, history,
political science, psychology, chemistry, mathematics, and English.
The faculty is from the university's College of Arts and Sciences, the
School of Education, and The Milne School.

State University of New York at Albany
Spellman to Head Allen Collegiate Center page 4
Dr. Spellman said that the educational focus is unique; namely,
intellectually integrated, interdisciplinary education. The program
should prepare students for a wide range of governmental, business,
education, and public service occupations and, additionally, will serve
as preparation for further study at the graduate level in such fields
as public administration, social welfare, criminal justice, education,
political science, law, sociology, public affairs, and some of the other
of the social and behavioral science fields.
A departure from the conventional approach will be the availability
of instructional personnel to students both during the day and in residence
halls during the evening. Another feature of the program will allow
commuting students who need assistance academically to come into the
residence halls for several nights. At those times they can receive
additional instruction and later resume commuting. Dr. Spellman indi-
cated that there would be a close relationship between instructional
personnel and students. "This is one of the reasons it will remain a
small center in terms of numbers," he said.
Plans are for 150 more time-shortened degree students to be admitted
to the center in the fall of 1973. Once the new college is fully
operative, a goal for post-1976, it is anticipated that its enrollment
will be 1,600 students, approximately 1,000 resident students and 600
commuters. The center will concentrate its program on the Western
Avenue campus of the university. Students will utilize faciliteis in
the academic buildings and in the Alumni Quadrangle residential area.
The lower division of the center will bear responsibility for the
completion of grades 12-14 in two academic years. Its upper division
will be an academically specialized unit offering the Bachelor of Arts
degree in Man and His Institutions. Transfer into, and out from, the
college to other academic divisions of SUNYA will be flexible.

MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA
The Minnesota Orchestra will be heard in concert Saturday,
Apr. 15, beginning at 1 p.m. in the Main Theater of the university's
Performing Arts Center under the sponsorship of the Music Council.
The Minnesota Orchestra's long tradition of musical eminence
reaches back to its founding in 1903 as the Minneapolis Orchestra.
A succession of great conductors and years of exceptional artistry
have placed it in the position of one of America's foremost
orchestras.
For its Albany appearance, the orchestra will be under the
baton of its associate conductor, George Trautwein. Trautwein
was educated at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and, before
turning seriously to the art of conducting, served as violinist
in some of the leading symphonic organizations of America. In
1957, after having studied conducting at Tanglewood with Kous-
sevitzky and Bernstein, he studied, under a Fulbright Grant, at
Mozarteum Academy in Salzburg with Dorati, von Karajan, Szell,
and Paumgartner. Before going to Minnesota, Trautwein conducted
the Dallas Symphony.
On Saturday's program the orchestra will perform Weber's
"Overture to Oberon," Hindemith's "Symphonic Metamorphoses,"
Stravinsky's "'Firebird' Suite," and Debussy's "La Mer.”
Tickets may be obtained at the door before the concert on
Saturday at noon. Prices are $1 for SUNYA students with tax,
$2 for SUNYA faculty and staff, and $3 for the general public.

ADULT BASIC EDUCATION FUNDING
John A. Ether, professor in the department of curriculum and
instruction, and Harry Lewis, director of adult basic education,
State University of New York at Albany, have announced that new funding
of approximately $75,000 has been granted from the U. S. Office of
Education for 1972-73. The grant will provide for an institute to be
held from July 31 to Aug. 18 on the SUNYA campus. A follow-up seminar
is scheduled for the early part of 1973.
The institute will serve 50 adult educators presently supervising
curriculum implementation design and evaluation. Daniel Ganeles,
associate professor in the department of curriculum and instruction, has
been an active participant in planning for the institute and will be
involved in teaching.
Since 1965 SUNYA has been extensively involved in training and
educational programs for professionals working with disadvantaged and
undereducated youth and adults. In addition to summer institutes,
workshops, and in-service activities, Adult Basic Education offers a
concentrated program leading to the Master of Science in curriculum and
planning development. Particularly concerned with preparing professional
personnel with the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary to
initiate, develop and evaluate curricula, the basic part of the program
provides for exploration and analysis of underlying and general principles
and of their support in the social and behavioral sciences.
Graduates of the program work in various fields, such as
curriculum coordinators, specialists in education of undereducated

adults and in training programs for underemployed adults, and as
instructors in adult basic education. An interdisciplinary endeavor,
courses offered have wide-ranging concerns with reading disabilities,
teaching the disadvantaged, counseling, occupational analysis, demo-
graphy, social stratification and the community.
The target population for students working in the area of adult
basic education is adults who have less than a high school education
and those who are illiterate.
Based on the concept that adults need a different teaching approach
and different materials than children, SUNYA through the School of
Education reportedly is the only institution in the United States which |
has a curriculum development emphasis in adult education. The objective
of the program is to guide teachers to create their own curricula
to suit individual needs and classroom needs, rather than relying on
pre-conceived curricula which may not suit the particular environment
in which teachers find themselves. Mr. Lewis states that training
techniques, curricula and evaluations of adult education programs
in many areas of the country have been modified and upgraded as a
result of the program at SUNYA.

will be advised where to report. The Red Cross is expected to
set up mobile units during the drive and, additionally, a hospital
unit from New York will provide a station at the Health Services
Center on campus.

Fund to be a permanent foundation in Dr. Drew's memory. Funds
raised will be used to encourage more minority students to major
in the sciences by giving limited scholarships to those students
who excel in scientific subjects, The fund-raising, which begins
Saturday, will continue through the semester both on the campus
and throughout the Albany community. Z

SUNYA TO DEDICATE INDIAN QUAD
State University at Albany will dedicate the last of its four
residence quadrangles, Indian Quad, Friday, April 21. In addition
to the traditional simulated cornerstone-laying and dedication
dinner, there will be an Indian ceremony in the Flag Room, where
Indian artwork is on display. The schedule calls for cornerstone
placement at 4:30 p.m., dinner from 4:30-6:30, and the Indian ceremony
and reception at 7 p.m. Several Indian dishes will be on the dinner
menu.
Participating in the ceremony will be Tom Two-Arrows, the
Indian artist who prepared the authentic designs on the skins
mounted in the Flag Room. He will be joined by several friends
from his Onondaga and neighboring tribes, who will present songs
and dances in costume. The reception following the ceremony will
provide opportunities for conversation and questions.
Carrying the Indian motif throughout the quad, each dormitory
unit, or hall, is named after an area tribe. In addition, much of
the carpeting is authentic Indian design. Also, only Indian colors
have been used in the quad decor; that is, only those colors which
Indians found in their natural state, such as in roots. Primarily
oranges, browns, and yellows have been used.
Although nearly identical in outward appearance to its three
companions, Colonial, Dutch, and State quads, Indian Quad is different
in many respects. For one thing, it can accommodate more students:
its 1,321 capacity is more than any of its predecessors. Whereas

SUNYA to Dedicate Indian Quad page 2
the other quads were designed primarily for five or six students
per suite, the eight low-rise dorms on Indian represent a return
to the traditional two-man rooms construction. Only some 25% of
the space is devoted to the suite system.
Another significant difference involves the lounge areas.
Centralization and consolidation of public areas has resulted in
fewer lobbies. There also is less space devoted to staff apartments.
Smaller meeting rooms have been carved out of the excess space.
The quad dining room operates on a different system than the
cafeteria on other quads. An "island system" of food service, as
opposed to a cafeteria line style, has been instituted. Rather
than have everyone make his way through a continuous line, regardless
of what or how much he wants, items are available at separate
“islands" or counters. For example, a student who desires only a
glass of milk and a piece of pie need not pass through the entire
dinner line, The pick-and-choose method speeds service and movement.

RENSSELAERVILLE
Thirty-five to 40 parole board members representing some 25
states will be gathering for five days this month in Rensselaerville
to participate in atraining program designed especially for decision-
makers in their areas. The program, known as the National Parole
Institute, is sponsored by the National Probation and Parole
Institutes, an organization of key authorities in the parole field.
The training program is under the direction of Professor Vincent
O'Leary, of the School of Criminal Justice, State University of
New York at Albany.
The institute is the only national program of its kind designed
to train the personnel who are responsible for making decisions
to release inmates of state prisons on parole supervision or to hold
them longer or until the expiration of their maximum sentence.
Institute participants live and work together over a five-day
session which emphasizes practical issues in problem-solving,
rather than attempting to propose definitive answers or standards
for parole board members and their decision-making functions.
The faculty will include Professor O'Leary, as well as
Professor Fred Cohen and Professor Donald J. Newman, both of the
School of Criminal Justice. Staff and faculty will not hold a
large number of lecture sessions, but will work directly with

participants in examining alternatives in parole problems. The
tone of the institute is informal, with an emphasis on involvement
by those participants.
The sessions will constitute the 14th National Parole Institute
to take place since 1961 under the sponsorship of the National Parole
and Probation Institutes, as a part of a continuing program for
the training of personnel and the promotion of research in this
field. Past institutes held under the direction of Professor
O'Leary have been uniformly endorsed by participants as a
realistic approach to everyday dilemmas in decision-making. The
conference center of the Institute of Man and Science in

FOSSIECK TO RETIRE IN AUGUST
Theodore H. Fossieck, principal of The Milne School, has
announced plans to retire Aug. 31 after 25 years of service to the
campus laboratory school of State University of New York at Albany,
Dr. Fossieck came to Albany in 1947 as an assistant professor
of guidance and director of guidance at The Milne School. The following
year he was appointed principal and he has served in that capacity since
that time.
Student-teaching has changed in nature and emphasis as a
campus school objective during those 25 years, From an experience
shared with another student-teacher on a one period per day basis, it
has become a full-time eight-week experience. Pre-student-teaching
laboratory experience and the pilot-testing of new methods and materials
of teaching in secondary schools have been added to the campus school's
missions during Dr. Fossieck's tenure.
The method of admitting students to Milne also has changed
during Dr. Fossieck's period at Milne, Selection presently is based
solely upon performance on a standardized test as contrasted with
previous procedures in which priority was given to brothers and sisters
of students in school, the order of submission of applications, and to
children of Milne alumni or SUNYA faculty. The new procedure,

District 16 of the principals' group. He has represented the associa-
tion for 20 years on the Jenkins' Memorial Teacher Education
Scholarship Committee of the New York State Congress of Parents
and Teachers.
Four years ago Dr. Fossieck was transferred, after 30 years
of service, to the U. S. Army Retired Reserve in the rank of Colonel,
Military Intelligence, after commanding the 1389th Logistical Command
in Albany. His World War II service included command of the Counter
Intelligence Corps Detachment of the XV Corps in Europe for which he
earned the Bronze Star for outstanding service, ‘
In addition to his doctorate in educational administration,
Dr. Fossieck has a master's degree from Teachers! College,
Columbia University, and a master's degree from Washington
University in St, Louis. His undergraduate work was done at

SCHOOL OF NURSING ACCREDITED
Louis T., Benezet, president of State University of New York at
Albany, has announced that the SUNYA School of Nursing has been
granted full accreditation by the National League for Nursing. The school
was established on the Albany campus in 1967, applied for accreditation
last fall, and was visited by League representatives in March,
"It is always an event of satisfaction when a professional school
in the university attains accreditation by its national reviewing group,"
Dr. Benezet remarked. ''The School of Nursing at the University Center
at Albany has made rapid progress in a short time and against a mounting
number of financial constraints. We all congratulate Dean Dorothy Major
on the accreditation action."
Dean Major also commented on the budgetary limitations, noting
that the school is able to accept only about 60 freshmen a year. For the
fall of 1972 more than 500 applicants have sought freshman admission
and another 150 applied for admission by transfer. Present enrollment
totals 142, including graduates of hospital schools and two-year
community colleges.
"In view of the great need for nurses educated at the baccalaureate
level and the obvious demand of young people for this type of education, it
is imperative that State University make every effort to meet these needs,"
Dr. Major stated.
