\ ‘THE MAKING OF A MANAGER AT SUNYA
"We were pleasantly surprised at the professional manner and quality of the
managerial work performed in the project. In fact, the recommendations from
the studies have been fully accepted by our organization and implemented, "
George Fuda, president of the board of directors of the Good Samaritan

field project of a student in the School of Business, State University of
New York at Albany.
Steven Geer, who recently completed requirements for his Master of Business
Administration, worked voluntarily with the board of directors of GSLH for a
year as part of his major field program, organizational design and development.
The home has been moving toward a more enlightened type of concept in care and
Geer's objective was to tackle managerial problems, Ramon C, Alonso, associate
professor of management, was the student's advisor,
The graduate program in management emphasizes the application of class-
room knowledge to real organizational situations and represents a somewhat
unique "problem -solving" approach toward the managerial process, The educa-
tional experiences go beyond the accumulation of facts to integrating knowledge
in such a way as to be able to respond to management problems when packaged
answers are not available. Also, the academic portion of the first year gives
equal weight to all of the disciplines. Consequently, the field project experiences

serve as a vehicle to apply a wide scope of knowledge to various types of
organizations,
Geer, ‘in ‘preparation for his analysis of the Albany home's operational
procedure, interviewed eight nursing home administrators, Of the nursing
homes he visited, four were private, profit-making institutions; three were
public, government-owned facilities; and one was a volunteer service, He
studied the philosophy of the board of directors of GSLH and of the adminis -
tration to determine how they related to the health care delivery system that
has developed in American society. Reported Geer, ''The home should be
viewed as a dynamic environment where people live together and enjoy
meaningful relationships." = eae
~ program at SUNYA is a careful curriculum design that combines the benefits
of an initially broad exposure to various managerial topics with a specialized
concentration, ‘This is accom plished by students taking a common first-year
program that is constructed of 'module! educational building blocks. Modules |, |
are courses sub-divided by topical areas, This prevents unnecessary duplication/
of study materials and provides for an economic use of students' time and /
educational facilities,"
He continued, ''Students in the second year then have a common background
of knowledge, They then spend the second year ina specialized area of their
‘choice, This time is divided between classroom and actual field experiences,
The field projects are used to permit students to make the crucial translation
between theory and practice." i
(more)
State University of New York at Albany
During his nursing home study, Geer read related professional articles,’
defined the primary elements-involved, made diagrams of GSLH procedures,
planned an organization chart showing the relationship of the board of directors
to administration and staff, completed role analyses, developed work schedules,
and traced communication patterns,
Professor Alonso pointed out that the field projects are selected by com -
bining the interests of students with the best educational setting in the organiza-
tions participating in the program, In this manner the student and participating
institution mutually benefit in terms of their respective goal accomplishment,
Under faculty supervision the student becomes managerially involved in the
identification and formulation of strategies to solve "real problems" in various
types of organizations, Hence the problems and concepts of management as
applied to various organizational settings becomes the main focus of the student's
educational experience,
"The heavy behavioral science background which emanates from our program
. and then to
design enabled Steve to analyze, /developa strategy for implementing changes in
a labor-intensive organization, '' He added, "Module background has to do with
areas of organizational design and development, organization theory, personnel
management, behavioral science as applied to business, Steve's project pro-
vided exposure to the environment in which he will work and an Opportunity to
learn how to respond to that environment,"
Mr. Fuda had high pr aise for the undertaking. "As businessmen and educa -
tors, our board ofdirectors appreciate and endorse the project type of educational
experience, Essentially the student can become immersed in the management and

organization problems of an institution such as ours, This is in sharp contrast
to the standard method of business education where the classroom is expected
to allow the student to relate to problems and situations of managers, Frankly,
we are encoumetea to see that State University of New York at Albany is trying
to relate more effectively to the role of business students and practitioners,"
Dur ing his long study of the Good Samaritan Lutheran Home, which can
accommodate 50 residents, Geer was concerned with the board of directors
as policy maker and with the administration as implementer of policies, His
recom mendations pertaining to the philosophical approach of the board, accepted
by that body, included the home's being viewed as a community within a com-
munity and the development of policies to meet the needs of the residents within
that framework. Recommendations included an "in-house" vosidinbelc apenas
program, an "adopt-a-grandchild" program, and a more formal accounting system,
Geer's recommendations particularly were in the areas of management of
the home, quality of care being provided to residents, and financial operation
of the home, The new concept for the institution and the recommended new ‘
organizational structure vetisotea the conclusion that health professionals should
dictate decision-making processes,
The SUNYA student emphasized that the Master of Business Administration
program played a significant role in defining his career objectives and goals,
"I see myself ab filling the position of an internal Management consultant, This
is an individual who designs and implements organizational changes, In this
manner he acts as a coordinator of activities for the purpose of attaining higher
levels of organizational performance, "' ‘

State University of New York at Albany
He added, "My major, organizational design and development, stressed the
behavioral aspects of today's business environment, The techniques involved
in marketing, finance, management science and management information
systems were also integrated into the educational program, Due to this
background, I have been able to relate effectively with personnel in all these
areas," ‘
His experience with the Good Samaritan Lutheran Home was described as,
a rewarding one, "for a couple of reasons". "First, it has given me an insight,
into the particular role homes for the aged play in our health-care delivery
system, The health care sector of our economy has been, growing so rapidly
over the past 20 years that it is now vitally important to define how each
particular component serves the total system effort.
"The second reason relates to the experience that I have gained while dealing
with the management problems associated with my task. I was involved with all
levels of management and reported my findings, recommendations, and methods
of implementation to the board of directors. A project of this nature has given
me the chance to put theory into practice, I believe that this experience has made
a positive contribution to my professional development."

Representatives from 20 two-year colleges and urban centers from
Jamestown to Long Island will take part in a workshop on veterans counseling
October 15 to 17 at Bergamo East near Marcy, NY.
The two day session is being sponsored by the Two-Year College Student
Development Center, an arm of the School of Education at Albany State Univer-
sity (SUNYA). William A. Robbins, director of the center, will be in charge
together with Charles A. Adimaro, Coordinator of Veterans Services at Monroe
Community College, Rochester.
Dr. Robbins said three counseling authorities will be on hand to advise
participants. Two are from the New York State Office of Veterans Affairs:
Edward Poons, senior counselor for 15 upstate counties; and Robert Thomas,
counselor for Oneida County.
The third is Andrea Love of Washington, DC, staff representative from
the Program for Servicemen and Veterans, American Association of Community
and Junior Colleges.
Robert E. Woodruff, Executive Director of New York's Post-Vietnam
Coordinating Committee, is also taking part in preparing for the workshop.
Dr. Robbins said the meeting, second workshop this year sponsored by
the Student Development Center, is stimulated by the fact that many veterans
are facing personal, occupational, and educational problems.
"The unemployment rate for Viet Nam veterans between 20 and 29 years old
is surprisingly higher than for non-veterans," Dr. Robbins explained.
"So unpopular is the war that there has been indifference toward the
veteran as a person. As a result some returnees are troubled, bitter, cynical,
and unemployed. Our job at Bergamo is to assist counselors so they can
=
better help the veteran get started in a program of study, and help him succeed
in his program."
The Albany educator said the workshop will use as its foundation the
successfully-developed veterans program at Monroe Community College.

Linda Zucchelli, a State University at Albany senior, has been named
Wheelock Scholar for 1972, according to an announcement by Randolph S. Gardner,
dean of SUNYA's School of Education.
The annual scholarship is funded by the New York State Association for
Secondary School Administrators, and winners are selected by an awards committee
at the School of Education. Miss Zucchelli will formally receive her award at
the state convention of the administrators in Kiamesha Lake October 15 - 17.
Recipients are chosen on the basis of scholarship, character and promise
of leadership in the profession of teaching.
In his announcement naming Miss Zucchelli, Dean Gardner observed: "While
the monetary value of the award is nominal, the prestige associated with the
honor should not go unnoticed. We at the School of Education are especially
proud of this year's recipient. She exemplifies the high calibre person our
schools need."
Miss Zucchelli is the first female recipient of the award since it was
established in 1930.
A resident of Franklin Square, Long Island, Miss Zucchelli attended
Frank Carey High School where she was a member of the Honor Society, held office
in the student council, and served as teacher aide.
At State University she is a Regents Scholarship holder, a member of the
Academic Affairs Committee, and a tutor in the Educational Opportunities Program.
Miss Zucchelli is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Duilio Zucchelli of
1062 Van Buren Avenue, Franklin Square.
The Wheelock Scholarship, established in 1930, is a memorial to Charles
F. Wheelock, former state assistant commissioner of education. During his
50-year career he showed keen interest in the success of young teachers.
The New York State Association for Secondary School Administrators offers
two awards each year at State University Centers: one at Albany and one at
Buffalo.

SUNYA LIBRARY TO LINK UP WITH NETWORK COMPUTER
"Almost-instant" subject listings of library materials soon
will become a reality in the library at State University of New York
at Albany. On Saturday, Oct. 21, which has been proclaimed Community-
University Day by Albany's Mayor Corning, President Louis T. Benezet
will activate the terminal linking the library to the SUNY Biomedical
Communications Network computer. The latter stores more than 600,000
bibliographical items online and more than a million offline.
The new service, considered a revolutionary development in
library service, will initiate a new service for SUNY faculty and
students and a new era in bibliographical services at the library.
Presently the service will be valuable especially to those
working in biomedical and related areas since the’ major portion of
the present data base consists of articles from more than 2,300
journals indexed by the National Library of Medicine. Although the
journals indexed emphasize primarily biomedical subjects, such
related areas as anthropology, education, sociology, psychology and
technology also are given coverage.
The system is suitable particularly for searching articles
concerning the relationship of two or more specific subjects; for
example, heart diseases and smoking. When a properly formulated
request is submitted to the terminal, almost instantly it will type
out a list of 10 recent journal citations dealing with the subjects

FALCO DANCERS AT SUNYA OCT. 27
An evening of contemporary dance is listed for the Main Theatre,
Performing Arts Center, State University of New York at Albany,
when the Louis Falco Dance ‘Company performs on Friday, Oct. 27,
beginning at 8:30.
The small performing ensemble headed by Louis Falco, whom Clive
Barnes of The New York Times has called "simply one of the most
exciting male dancers in the world," is small only in size, not
creative output, for it has performed for three consecutive years
at New York City Center's American Dance Season and this past June
completed a critically acclaimed engagement at Alice Tully Hall,
Lincoln Center. Falco, formerly principal dancer with Jose Limon,
has a strong sense of theatre for he uses rock music and speech as
well as more traditional elements of modern dance to create what
some reviewers have termed a Marshall McLuhan. dance company which
can create plastic space out of the bare walls of an auditorium.
Featured with dancer-choreographer Falco will be Jennifer Muller
and Juan Antonio. Miss Muller has begun to receive a great deal of
favorable attention in New York for her choreography as well as for
her talents as an unusually beautiful dancer. Antonio, from Mexico
City, has danced with major companies throughout North America.
Other dancers, Georgiann Holmes, Mary Jane Eisenberg, and Mathew
Diamond are equally distinguished.
Dance Council at SUNYA is presenting the program. Tickets
at $3 are available from the PAC box office, 457-8606. There also
will be student discount tickets available. For information call

BALLET MAYA
Ballet Maya de Rubén Duarte, Mexican dance troupe scheduled
to perform at State University at Albany's Performing Arts Theatre
Oct. 29-30-31, will see familiar faces in the audience. Afternoon
programs*are scheduled for Sunday and Tuesday, with an 8:30 show
Monday evening.
The Albany acquaintances will be Dr. and Mrs. William Short
of The Milne School, Albany, and nine students who studied in
Mexico earlier this year.
In May the group saw the ballet company in Mérida, Yucatan,
met a number of the troupe's members, and visited the ballet
training school. The Milne Mexican anthropology/sociology course
enabled the 10th and 1lth graders to study at the Instituto Comercial
Bancario, a secondary school in Mérida. They attended classes,
lived with Mexican people, and visited places of interest.
Dr. Short said that students' reports upon their return
revealed the course was educationally worthwhile. In listing special
reports he mentioned Marian Hull who wrote "The Beautiful People
of Mérida," Kenneth Metchick, whose topic was "Mayan Architecture,"
Gary Graham writing on "Cordomex Factory," and Judy Hochberg, who
researched "The Murals of University City."
Other students, including Stephen Krakower, Janice Long,
Sharon Towle, Leon Aronowitz, and Irene Ronis submitted detailed
accounts of their experiences.

Most of the Milne acholars were impressed with the school
atmosphere. Typical of their comments were those of Marian Hull,
who observed: "The actual classroom situation is stricter than
that at my school. Girls and boys sit on opposite sides of the
room. There is very little, if any, talking out of hand. The
students have more respect for their teachers and stand when the
instructor enters."
Another impression shared by most of the group was the friend-
liness of their Mexican hosts. Miss Hull said: "After living in
the house for only one day, I was sure I haq spent my life there.
By nightfall, I had met every neighbor, been taken on a tour of
the city, raced a half-dozen kids around the block, and helped
make supper. They made me feel so much a part of the family, that
I now refer to the kids as my brothers and sisters."
A representative comment on differences was found in Gary
Graham's report which stated: "The family customs are different
and you just have to get adjusted to them. The people are doing
you a favor by trying their best to please you, and you have to
give them 100 percent back in return. They speak their native
language and we get a chance to make sure we really fit in with
them. The times of the meals are different, there is siesta time
in the afternoon, and sleeping in a hammock."
Most students said the trip dispelled false notions of Mexico
as a sleepy backward nation. Janice Long noted in her report:
"Mexico City is the sixth largest city in the world. I compare it
to New York in that it has busy traffic, many people, and lots of
big stores."

notably Wallace Chafe of the University of California, are students of Professor
Floyd G. Lounsbury of Yale University, author of works on the Oneida language,
who will chair one session,

SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WELFARE TO HONOR COMMUNITY AGENCIES
The Albany Home For Children is one of 10 community agencies being
honored by the School of Social Welfare, State University of New York at
Albany, at a dinner meeting to be held Wednesday, Nov. 1, in the ballroom
of the Campus Center. Charles T. O'Reilly, dean of the school, will present
certificates of awards to the agencies in recognition of their long-standing
and continuing commitment to professional social work education.
The Albany Home For Children has been affiliated with the school since
1965, providing instruction to graduate students placed there by the school,
The students, who are enrolled in the two-year program leading to the degree
of Master of Social Work, spend a little less than one half of their time in
actual social work practice in agencies under the intensive supervision of a
qualified instructor.
Although the school sponsors and staffs five field units of its own, about
two-thirds of the student body of 185 receive instruction in 70 public and
private agencies which donate staff time and other resources. The school
admitted its first class in 1965 and the 10 agencies being honored have been
associated with it the longest.
The other agencies being recognized are: Albany Medical Center Hospital;
Veterans Administration Hospital; Catholic Family Services, Albany; La Salle
School, Albany; Berkshire Farm, Canaan; Child Guidance Clinic, Schenectady;

at Albany, continuing through Nov. 22. The largest is the annual Fifty Best
Books" circulated by the American Institute of Graphic Arts and the "1972
Book Show" selected by the Association of American University Presses.
The combined exhibits include 100 books.
The Mohawk Paper Mill of Cohoes is underwriting the American Institute
of Graphic Arts show and bringing book designers and librarians together at
a special meeting. Another sponsor, the Society of Bibliophiles of Albany,
is scheduling a study tour at the library.
The third exhibit is the continuing one of ''Letters of Louis D, Brandeis",
edited by Melvin I. Urofsky and David W. Levy, with typescript lent by the
University Archives, and one of the AAUP winners. It opened on Community-
University Day, Oct. 21.
The fourth display is that of two newly-acquired illustrated editions of ©
Virgil, purchased with money bequeathed by Edith Wallace "for rare and
beautiful books in the humanities". Dr. Wallace was professor emerita of
ancient languages. The two editions of the Ecloges, with woodcuts by Aristide
Maillol, are among the most significant examples of 20th Century illustration
and bookmaking from Germany and France. They will become the nucleus of
a growing collection of illustrated Virgils.
