Starting with the fall semester the College of General Studies at State University of
New York at Albany is offering a daytime course in women's studies which will carry
three credit hours. ''Women in Modern Literature: The Faces of Eve'' will be given
on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 12:45 to 2, starting Sept.7, Joan Schulz,
associate professor of English, SUNYA, and Diva Daims, also of the English faculty,
will teach the course.
More than 60 colleges and universities throughout the country are offering programs
in women's studies, a new academic discipline rising on the nation's campuses. The
course will emphasize the treatment given to women in literature, examining the
traditional assumptions about the nature of women and sterotypes of behavior as they
are revealed in modern writings.
Class discussions will be centered on answering questions as to whether the treat-
ment given women is a reflection of society's philosophical and sociological myths or
cultural attitudes. Women will be looked at in their interactions and relationships to
other characters in the works on the suggested reading list. The course has been
designed for those who desire to do some serious reading and to participate in stimu-
lating class discussions with fellow students.
Since enrollment is limited to 30, it is advisable to register early. All registrations
must be completed before August 20, Additional information may be obtained from the
College of General Studies (457-4935, 457-4936).

ship Institute of 140 leading student personnel administrators beginning August 4, The
institute, which is entitled, ''The Art of Leadership, '' is sponsored by the National
Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) and funded by the Humble
Companies Foundation. The Humble Companies Foundation has provided grants for two
previous conferences sponsored by NASPA: one at Indiana State University during the
summer of 1970 and a second at the University of Redlands (Calif.) in June, 1971.
The success of the previous conferences is evidenced by the large number of appli-
cants for the institute at Albany. There have been more than 300 applicants for the 140
conference openings. The participants are vice presidents and deans of students from
more than 125 colleges and universities from 29 states, the District of Columbia, and
two Canadian provinces.
The participants will meet in large groups for orientation, evaluation, and follow-up
sessions and work on specific group tasks in mini-lab situations. The behavior and re-
actions of the group and individuals within the group provide the basis for later discussion
and evaluation, Techniques and insights gained through laboratory projects and evaluation
sessions are expected to increase the effectiveness of the participants in the positions of
leadership.
C. F. Jones, vice chairman of the Board of Humble and other officers of the
Foundation, are scheduled to be present during the program.
The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs is coordinating the institute,
under the direction of Sorrell E. Chessin, assistant vice president.
