SUNYA ASTRONOMER TO ADVISE IRAQ ON NEW OBSERVATORY

An astronomer at State University of New York
at Albany has been invited by the government of Iraq to
be a consultant for the building of a proposed observatory
in Iraq.

May A. Kaftan-Kassim, associate professor of
astronomy and space science, recently was a guest of the
Iraqi Research Council of the Ministry of Education and
Research during the winter recess. During that time she
reviewed the search committee's scientific data covering
a two-year period. Upon her return to the SUNYA campus
she received a letter asking her to select two American
scientists to accompany her to Iraq in the summer of 1974
when site tests will be made.

Dr. Kaftan-Kassim pointed out in a recent interview
that astronomy "essentially started in Egypt, Mesopotamia
(modern Iraq) and the Far East" and that "Iraq encouraged
and nourished pure research since the Abasid Empire more
than a thousand years ago.' She added that the planned
Iraqi observatory would be making a considerable contribution
in the field and that American astronomers would be able to
make observations via multi-mirror optical telescopes or
millemeter wave radio telescopes, or perhaps both.

State University or New York at Albany
SUNYA ASTRONOMER TO ADVISE IRAQ ON NEW OBSERVATORY Page 2

During her most recent visit abroad the professor
resided at the University of Leiden in The Netherlands.

She made radio astronomy observations on the Westerbork
Array, the largest telescope complex in the world. It
consists of a series of 12 telescopes rather than the
customary one. She also did some work in collaboration
with astronomers at Leiden and at Groningen in Holland.
Dr. Kaftan-Kassim gave invited lectures at both places and
also at the Nuffield Research Laboratory of the University
of Cambridge. She also has given recently several invited
colloquia in the United States.

The astronomer's particular field of research concerns
planetary nebulae and interacting galaxies. Currently there
is a sizeable controversy among astronomers about whether
or not quasars are cosmological, and the group study of
groupings of galaxies and quasars is a determining factor
once enough data has been gathered. Assisting her with
current research are Jack Sulentic and Gopal Sistla, doctoral
students in astronomy, who are studying the radio aspects
of the topics mentioned and correlating them with optical data.

During the coming summer Dr. Kaftan-Kassim will re-
visit the Lick Observatory of the University of California
at Santa Cruzto to confer about optical telescopes and equipment.
She'll also visit the Kitt Peak National Observatory facility
in Arizona where a multi-mirro telescope is located and where
staff members have expressed a willingness to help with the

plans for the Iraqui observatory. In May 1974 Professor

Kaftan-Kassim will go to the National Radio Astronomy
Observatory in West Virginia to investigate the building
there of a millemeter telescope. The observatory staff also
will keep the SUNYA scientist informed about developments
there. Additionally, its members have promised help and
equipment for the Iraqi project.

Dr. Kaftan-Kassim who joined the SUNYA faculty in
1966, holds degrees from the University of Manchester, Oxford
University, Radcliffe College, and Harvard University where
she earned her doctorate. She is a member of the International
Astronomical Union, the New York Academy of Science, the
American Astronomical Society, Iraqi Physical Society, Royal
Astronomical Society, and the American Association for the
‘Advancement of Science.

SUNYA PROFESSOR TO MAKE ANNUAL AWARD FOR BEST PAPER
IN AFRO-AMERICAN STUDIES

An annual award of $100 for the best paper sub-
mitted by a graduate student with a major in Afro-American
studies at State University at Albany has been offered by
M. Moran Weston, professor of social history at the university.
The paper must be based on original research or on a community
improvement project approved by the faculty.

Professor Weston has given an initial gift of $500
to support the program for the first five years. In 1972
Dr. Weston offered 10 scholar incentive awards totalling
$400 for work in two courses. The courses dealt with problems
of the black community and Afro-American family life in the
United States. The current program, to be known as the
Perry-Drake-Weston Award, honors Professor Weston's maternal
grandparents, Rev. and Mrs. John William Perry; Mrs. Weston's
parents, Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Fanning Drake; and Dr. Weston's
parents, Rev. and Mrs. Milton Moran Weston, -- all of whom
were teachers in schools and colleges in North Carolina,
Alabama, and Georgia from 1881-1968.

Rev. John William Perry was an Episcopal minister
who founded a parochial school in Tarboro, N.C., in 1883,
assisted by his wife, Mary Pettipher Perry.

Joseph Fanning Drake was president of Alabama A & M
College, Huntsville, from 1927 to 1962.

Rev. Milton Moran Weston, Sr., an Episcopal minister,
headed a small parochial school in Savannah, Ga., until 1917
when he took over the Tarboro school and enlargedit to meet

CONFERENCE CENTER

Ceremonial groundbreaking for the Alumni House-Conference
Center at State University of New York at Albany will take place
on Alumni Day, Saturday, May 18, at 3 p.m. on Perimeter Road west
of Dutch Quadrangle.

The new location, a change from the original site near Indian
Quadrangle, has been described by David W. Jenks, director of alumni
affairs, as "more desirable for environmental and other reasons".

He added, “It provides a better locale for natural solar heating
and for protection from the wind; it makes possible a larger parking
area; and is a more aesthetically-pleasing, wooded setting".

During the spring phonothon, the addition of $14,000 in
pledges brought the Annual Fund total to $153,000 in gifts and pledges
for the construction of the Alumni House-Conference Center. The
goal is $175,000 and the two-year drive ends in July. Plans call
for building to begin in the late summer.

Louis T. Benezet, president of SUNYA, and Annual Fund
officers have visited several alumni club branches in recent months
to discuss the university's need for alumni support and to encourage
contributions to the fund.

Major donations to date have come from Potter Club, Phi
Delta, and Kappa Delta, $10,000 each; the Alumni Council, $6,000:
the SUNYA Foundation, $5,000; and Psi Gamma, $2,000.

In addition to bachelor of science degrees from
the College of Arts and Sciences, there will be those in
business, medical technology, nursing, social welfare, and
education. Master's degrees, other than those awarded by
the College of Arts and Sciences, will be awarded by the
School of Education, School of Business, School of Criminal
Justice, School of Library and Information Science, School
of Social Welfare, and Graduate School of Public Affairs.
President Louis T. Benezet, in a statement about
the 1974 commencement said, "Commencement 1974 at the State
University at Albany brings with it the continuing growth
in numbers and accomplishments of University students. The
2,086 baccalaureates, 1,446 Master's candidates, and 100
recipients of Doctor's degrees give notice of a University
growing not only in productivity but in variety of programs.
Our new doctors, for example, will represent 16 different
fields, both academic and professional. This is the first
time the University Center will confer 100 doctorates at one
Commencement. It is useful to remind a public somewhat
confused about the purposes of graduate education that these
persons will be serving not only as professors, but in a wide
number of capacities urgently needed by our complex society."
President Benezet continued, "It is a special pleasure
this year to graduate our first members of Phi Beta Kappa.
We hope the Capital region is as proud as we that the Uni-
versity Center at Albany has become in 12 years a major producer

of quality degree holders at all levels of learning."

address. Mrs. Wexler is a former nun who turned Webster
College, the Roman Catholic girls' school which she headed,
into a secular, co-educational college. The college's
conversion in 1967 was the first such action in the United
States.

Prior to heading Hunter College, Mrs. Wexler was
vice president and director for international university studies
at the Academy for Educational Development in New York City.
She joined the faculty of Webster College in St. Louis, Mo.,
as an English teacher in 1959 and subsequently became assistant
to the president, vice president for development, executive
vice president, and, in 1965, president, a position she held
for four years.

The former member of the President's Advisory Panel
on Research and Development in Education now is on the board
of trustees, New York City Rand Corporation, and a member, by
appointment of ‘the Missouri Academy of Squires. She has served
on the President's Task Force on Urban Educational Opportunities
and, in 1968, was the first recipient of the New York University
School of Education Annual Award for Creative Leadership.
She also is a member of the Advisory Board on Regents Uni-
versity Degrees.

SUNYA SENIOR WINS LEHMAN FELLOWSHIP; TWO OTHER SUNYA STUDENTS
ALTERNATES

Eric A. Parsons, a graduating senior at State University
of New York at Albany, is among 30 winners of New York State Herbert
H. Lehman Graduate Fellowships in Social Sciences and Public
and International Affairs. The awards, announced by the State
Education Department, are the most highly prized in the program
of scholarships and awards presented each year by New York State.
Two other SUNYA students, Sheldon Switzer and Lawrence F. Travis,
were named to the list of alternates.

Mr. Parsons, who majored in anthropology, plans to continue
his graduate work at Columbia University. At SUNYA, where he is
graduating with a 3.6 cumulative average, his minor field was the
French language.

The Lehman Fellow said he thought he was "very lucky to have
come to SUNYA. In particular, I am grateful to the many faculty
members who fired my imagination in various ways and got me excited
about studying and work in these areas. They were kind of in-
spirational in that way. I'm planning a career in college teaching
and research, and my models, to date, have been members of the
faculty here." The student indicated he thought he would specialize
in cultural anthropology but that decision would await two years
of graduate work. "I think anthropology has been a way to understand

myself and others better but that whole undertaking is so broad

I'll take time to explore the possibilities."

The Lehman Fellowships were established by the Legislature
in 1966 in honor of the former Governor of New York State. The
competition is open to outstanding college graduates throughout
the United States who plan to pursue graduate study in a college
situated in New York State. Recipients of the award may receive
up to $19,000 for four years of graduate study, beginning in
September.

A special committee composed of senior graduate faculty from
institutions in New York reviewed the qualifications of candidates.
Awards were based on an evaluation of test scores, academic records,
and personal qualifications.

The SUNYA winner lives at 823 Myrtle Avenue, Albany. His
parents are Mr. and Mrs. Bert H. Parsons of Mineola where he was
graduated from Mineola High School.

SUNYA alternate winner Sheldon Switzer majored in economics,
with a second field in mathematics. His home is at 618 Ocean
Parkway, Brooklyn. Lawrence Travis, the other alternate, majored
in sociology, with social studies as a second field. His home address
is 176 Depew street, Peekskill.

MOTHER OF 11 CHILDREN TO RECEIVE DEGREE AT SUNYA COMMENCEMENT

Mother of 11 children and grandmother of 17, Mrs. Gladys
Taylor, 49, will receive a Bachelor of Arts Saturday, May 25, at
State University of New York at Albany. She majored in sociology,
with a minor in rhetoric and communications, and already is making
plans for graduate study in counseling and personnel services.

Mrs. Taylor's accomplishment attests to the strength of
her motivation and determination, in combination with the support
of the Educational Opportunities Program (EOP) at the university
where her fellow classmates affectionately called her "Ma". She
became a mother figure for many students soon after her arrival
on the university campus.

It all began in Syracuse, where Mrs. Taylor formerly resided,
when the affable woman worked out of the Search for Education,
Elevation, and Knowledge (SEEK) program. She completed a high
school equivalency course in 1969 and the following year enrolled
at SUNYA. All her children were of school age at that time and
the youngest was nine. Accompanying her to Albany, where she
resides at 48A Dove street, were five children of ages ranging from
13 to 18.

"If it hadn't been for a program like this, I wouldn't have
been able to attend any college", said Mrs. Taylor in remarking
about the EOP. "I think it's a worthwhile program not only for

younger people but oldsters as well. The future rewards have
a great potential."

But what about Mother's studies fitting in with family
life? "We have a respect for each other and always worked together",
explained Mrs. Taylor. "When it's time to study, we study
together. A couple of my children had dropped out of school but
after I came back they re-entered. My studies have resulted in
their trying to keep up with me but, really, I try to keep up
with them".

Mrs. Taylor soon became involved in student activities at
SUNYA. She produced two children's plays, one with the theatre
department and one at the West Albany Elementary School. During
her undergraduate years she completed six courses in theatre and
participated in four dramatic productions.

Why did she undertake the demanding program? "I long have
been interested in problems of juvenile delinquency and in people
in general, old and young and all others in between. My main interest
is people and sociology studies are a way of learning how you can
help them in many situations. The courses in rhetoric and communi-
cations have helped me to develop communication skills". Mrs.
Taylor also spoke glowingly of the value to her of special work-
study courses in mathematics, English competition and literature,
and study skills offered through the EOP at the university, stating
they had aided her in her regular college course work after having

been away from the classroom for more than 30 years.

Among Mrs. Taylor's children, a son, John, 19, is a
student at SUNYA and a daughter, Sandra, a graduate of Syracuse
University, teaches at the Webster Elementary School in Syracuse.
Another son, a graduate of the University of Chicago, is an
electrical engineer. He is engaged in research for the Bell
Telephone Co. and has begun graduate work.

MOTHER OF THREE AND HONOR STUDENT AT SUNYA TO ENTER MEDICAL SCHOOL

Anyone will tell you that it's difficult to get into
medical school these days but Barbara Hormats Edlund, 25,

a graduating senior at State University of New York at Albany
and the mother of three children, has been accepted by two.

The petite brunette, who married a Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute fellow student, Arthur H. Edlund in 1967, left
school after one semester of study. The family grew to include
Carl, 6%, Arlene, 5, and Kimberly, 4, before Mrs. Edlund ful-
filled her ambition to return to school. She resumed studies
at SUNYA in 1971.

Her academic career was successful one and, with a major
in biology and a minor in chemistry, the youthful mother is
graduating from SUNYA with a 3.86 academic average out of a
possible total of 4. She also is among the first members of
the newly-established Phi Beta Kappa Chapter at the university.

Mrs. Edlund said, in discussing her desire to study
medicine that she wanted to do "something where I could be
directly involved in helping people" and "something with a
challenge so I have to use my brain".

What about being a student and caring for children

at the same time? "It's been sort of a family process",

said the future doctor. "Everybody gets in on it and my children
and husband help around the house. My husband has been very
helpful, and the children are interested in everything. We try
to make them a part of it." Her husband was graduated from
RPI in 1969.

Mrs. Edlund continued, "My five-year-old Arlene said the
other day that she wanted to grow up and be a Mommy so she can

go to college."

SENIOR CITIZENS' GROUP TO VISIT SUNYA JUNE 4

Members of the eight Senior Citizens Centers in the Capital
District have been invited to State University of New York at Albany
on Tuesday, June 4, for a Senior Citizen Day Program.

Carol Anstett, coordinator for the project, and working with
the Office of University Affairs, said the project is a demonstration
program by which the university hopes to develop a stronger link
with the senior citizens in the Albany area and to become more sensi-
tized to their needs.

Mrs. Anstett, who has been visiting each of the centers to
extend the invitation,said, "This is not an open house similar to
Community-University Day, but will afford approximately 200 specially
invited senior citizens to see the university in a more controlled
atmosphere than that of a typical open house program."

At each of the centers Mrs. Anstett has been showing a slide
and film presentation, "The Sights and Sounds of SUNYA" by Kenneth
Blaisdell. "The members have been very impressed with what they've
seen of the university through this medium," she said, "and their
response to the university has been most favorable."

The program, which begins at 10 a.m. with welcoming remarks
by President Louis T. Benezet, also will include a brief presentation
by Hilton Power, dean of the College of General Studies, on "Programs

for Senior Citizens".

Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, will speak on "Understanding
the Weather."

After a luncheon the invited guests will be given a choice
of touring the library, the academic podium, or the Computing Center.
Following the tours, a concert featuring the compositions of Bach,
Beethoven, Chopin, and Debussy, and commentary by noted SUNYA pianist
Findlay Cockrell will be given. Michael Sheehan, manager of the
Performing Arts Center, then will speak on "The Senior Citizen and
the Performing Arts Center".

The program will be concluded with the serving of punch by
the SUNYA Faculty Wives.

"Each member of the group," Mrs. Anstett said, "will be given
an evaluation sheet to fill out to let us know what they like and what
type of connections they would like to see developed between the
Senior Citizen Centers and the university. With this information we
hope to become more aware of the needs of the senior citizens in
this area for a possible future relationship between them and the
university on a broader scale.

SUNYA'S SCHOOL OF BUSINESS UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE
PROGRAMS ACCREDITED BY NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

Both the undergraduate and graduate programs of
the School of Business at State University of New York
at Albany have been accredited by the American Assembly
of Collegiate Schools of Business, according to an announce-
ment made at the university's 130th commencement program
by President Louis T. Benezet. The SUNYA school is only
the second in the 58-year history of the AACSB to receive
accreditation of both undergraduate and master's programs
simultaneously.

Only one other SUNY unit is accredited by AACSB.
SUNY-Buffalo was accredited at the undergraduate level in
1930 when it was the University of Buffalo, a private
institution. The master's program there was accredited
two years ago.

The accrediting process is a long one. First, there
is the preparation of a self-study document which covers
the faculty, the curriculum, the resources of the school,
the administrative organization, study quality, and other
items specified in the standards. In the SUNYA school case,
the document was more than 800 pages. Then there is a

review of the self-study material by the professional staff

were Dean Kenneth Black, Georgia State University, chairman;
Dean Sidney Davidson, University of Chicago; Dean John Mason,
University of Toledo; and William Mitchell, partner, Coopers
& Lybrand, public accounting firm. Georgia State has one
of the largest business programs in the country, with 235 on
the faculty of its School of Business. The Chicago university's
school is considered to be one of the most prestigious of
its kind in the country.

In its report the visitation team commented specifically
on the innovative organizational structure of the School
of Business at SUNYA and on the quality and innovative nature
of its Master of Business Administration program.

Consideration of the team's report by separate
master's and undergraduate accrediting committees occurred
during the AACSB annual meeting in April. The next step
was a vote by an operations committee, following recommendation,
and then, the final step, recommendation to the accrediting
council, composed of the deans of all accredited schools,
for the final decision.

Dean William K. Holstein, of the SUNYA School of

Business, reports that in the Bachelor of Science programs

tration program has approximately 100 full-time students and

and St. John's universities, undergraduate; Columbia, Cornell,

Dean Holstein joined the faculty at the Albany
university in 1972. Earlier he had served for eight years

at Harvard University.
