The College of Arts and Sciences at State University of New York

at Albany next summer will-offer its second annual program of intensive language

training for its pre-freshmen students in eight. locations: Canada, France,

Germany, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Puerto Rico, and Spain. There also is a
possibility that the program will be offered in one of the African nations.

Each group. of approximately 30 students will be directed by a SUNYA
staff member who will serve as coordinator and advisor. The programs will be
conducted in a variety of settings and instruction will be given by different
institutions which meet SUNYA standards for intensive language training. The
institutions will vary from exclusive language training programs such as the
well known Goethe Institut in Germany to a specially arranged course of studies
such as that to be given at Laval University in Quebec City.

Accommodations will range from rooming with families to staying
in student dormitories under conditions normal for the respective areas. While
the program has been designed for intensive language training, there will be
visits to nearby sites of cultural interest. Programs will last seven or eight
weeks during the months of July and August.

"The successful experience of the first PSLP group in Germany last
summer made it evident that this opportunity should be extended to as many
entering freshmen as possible," said Williem M, Derrick, assistant dean for
international studies of the College of Arts and Sciences. "The students from
the first program stressed the need to impress on future participants that the

program is for seriously motivated, emotionally stable, and physically vigorous

students", he added. Former students have said that they felt the first
PSLP program was an excellent preparation for university study.
The cost of the programs will vary from $600 to $950 depending largely
upon differences in transportation charges. The programs in Quebec and
Puerto Rico will be the least expensive, whereas the one in Israel will be
the most expensive. European programs will cost approximately $800. The
cost includes transportation, room, board, and tuition. Personal and incidental
expenses can be as low as $100 if one lives as a student in the country

where he is studying.

The College of General Studies at State University of New York at Albany
will give credit for two University of the Air courses to be telecast during
the coming semester by WMHT, Channel 17, Schenectady. The courses are in basic
astronomy and American history (II).

There are no pre-requisites for credit enrollment; everyone, regardless
of educational background, is eligible to enroll at one of the fourteen State
University campuses participating in the program. Other SU units may give
eredit for a third course offering, German (I).

Basic astrony presents a thorough study of the celestial universe, empha-
sizing knowledge of the solar system, the stars, the Milky Way, and the galaxies
beyond. The course also considers some of the unanswered questions on the
frontiers of modern astronomy.

American history (II) focuses on major themes of American development
from the post-Civil War era to the present. Special emphasis is placed on the
struggle of black Americans for first-class citizenship.

Previews of each course can be seen from Sunday, January 18, through Saturday,
January 24. The deadlines for credit enrollment are midnight Friday, January 30.
Courses also may be taken on an informal, self-study basis with the aid of course
study guides.

Theodore P, Wright, Jr., associate professor of political science in
the Graduate School of Public Affairs at State University of New York at
Albany, is the recipient of a Faculty Research Fellowship awarded by the
American Institute of Indian Studies for study in India during the current
academic year. He is now at the department of civics and politics at the
University of Bombay.

Dr. Wright, whose project is entitled "modernization and Secularization
among the Bohra Muslims of Bombay", has chosen the Bohras as the object of his
study because he has been impressed "with the 'progressivism' of this ‘minority
within a minority'". He has described the purpose of his study as that of
“ascertaining the relationship between their changing religious organization
and values over the past century on the one hand, and their 'modern' social,
political and economic activities on the other ... and testing the hypothesis
that secularism is a byproduct of modernization, not its antecedent."

Professor Wright joined the faculty at the Albany university four years
ago. He holds degrees from Swarthmore College and Yale University. Before going
on sabbatical, Professor Wright taught courses in the development and politics
of South Asia and in the development of political systems at the Graduate School
of Public Affairs.

Three professors in the department of history at State University of
New York at Albany are authors of books which have been published in recent
months.

Arthur A. Ekirch, Jr., erate of history, has written "Ideologies and
Utopias: The Impact of the New Deal on American Thought", published by Quad-
rangle Books. Dr. Ekirch, in his eighth major work, sheds new light on the
relations between the New Deal and its varied intellectual supporters and
eritics, based on materials in the National Archives, the Roosevelt Papers at
Hyde Park, and important private collections.

"Civilian-Military Relations in Brazil, 1889-1898", published by the
University of South Carolina Press, is the work of June E. Heahner, assistant
professor of history. The book is a study of the peaceful transfer of power
from a military government to a civilian government after the fall of the
monarchy in Brazil.

“Empire and Nations", published by the University of Toronto Press, was
co-edited by H. Peter Krosby, professor of history and chairman of the department
at the Albany university. The collection of essays, written in honor of a leading
Canadian authority on international affairs, Professor Frederic H. Soward of the
University of British Columbia, concentrates on the nations that evolved within
the British empire and found, or are finding, their place in the world. It has
a preface by The Right Hon. Mr. Lester B. Pearson, former Prime Minister of

Canada.

Thomas A. Boehm, associate professor of science education at State University
of New York at Albany, has received a $13, 705 grant from the National Science Found-
ation, The award is in support of a cooperative college-school science program designed
to improve junior high school instruction in several area school systems, A similar pro-
gram involving the university and a single school system was funded by NSF during 1969-70.
The current grant provides for expansion of the program to include three additional
school districts.

The proposal resulted from joint planning sessions involving Dr. Boehm; Dale
Westcott, science department chairman at Guilderland Junior High School; John Sitterly,
science department chairman, Mohonasen Central School; Edward Garno, curriculum
coordinator, Hudson Public Schools; Warren Brockley, supervisor of science for the
Albany Public Schools; and Drs. H. Craig Sipe and Walter Farmer, professors of
science education at SUNYA, The general plan is designed to assist teachers in moving

more rapidly toward implementing discovery-oriented science curricula at the junior high
school level.

The Intermediate Science Curriculum Study (ISCS) was selected as the principal
focus of the effort since the science education staff has much direct experience with it.
SUNYA's Milne School science department, chaired by Dr. Boehm, has been serving
as an independent trial center for this national curriculum study for the past two years,
and Dr. Sipe serves on the national advisory board for ISCS.

A three-week summer institute will be held in ea to instruct the teachers in
science structure and process as treated in discovery-oriented science curricula,

phase of the proposal involves a series of sixteen late afternoon sessions spaced through-
out the 1970-71 school year,

Professors Boehm, Farmer, and Sipe will provide the instruction for the program,
Approximately twenty participants selected from the science departments of Guilderland,
Mohonasen, Hudson, and Albany schools will be invited to attend. The National Science
Foundation will provide stipends and travel allowances for the participants and meet

the instructional costs of the institute program,

The academic calendar at State University of New York at Albany has been
revised for the 1970-71 academic year. Under its provisions, students will have
a 25-day intersession between the fall and spring semesters,

A task force convened during the 1968-69 academic year to consider the SUNYA
academic calendar in light of a’special report, "New Patterns in Undergraduate
Education," worked out the changes. Various appropriate councils of the SUNYA
Senate considered the recommendation for change and urged the Senate to approve
the revised calendar,

The intersession from December 23 until January 18 combines the traditional
Christmas recess and intersession. While dormitories will be closed during the
period, other student and academic services will be provided at the same level as
during any recess,

Under the new calendar, the fall semester will begin earlier. Residence halls
will open August 30, opening faculty meetings will be held Spetember 1, and classes
will begin September 3. The Thanksgiving recess will begin Thursday November 25,
at 6 p,m. and resume the following Monday. Final examinations will be held
December 15 through December 22.

During the spring semester, the recess will begin Saturday, April 3, and con-
tinue until Monday, April 12, when classes resume. Final examinations will be held
May 7 through May 15. Commencement exercises are scheduled for Saturday, May 22,
at 2p.m. In recent years the graduation program has been held on Sunday at 10 a.m,

Concern for the condition of the environment is being manifested in various
ways this year at State University of New York at Albany. In the academic arena,
the second semester of a new course, "Environmental Forum", soon will get underway.
Early in February .an organization meeting for the P.Y.E. (Preserve Your Environ-

ment) Club will be held by interested undergraduates, graduate students, and
faculty.
three-credit

The/environmental forum course has been instituted as an interdisciplinary
program. forty-five students are enrolled in its seminar-type classes which visitors
may attend. Classes meet for four hours each Tuesday. The format of the sessions
includes panel discussions, guest speakers, dinner, and an open discussion.

Edward P. Cowley, Jr., chairman of the art department, is director of the
course, the purpose of which is to promote awareness of man's relationship to his
environment. Serving as program coordinator is Louis F. Ismay.

During the first semester, the class discussed such topics as pollutants,
population, transport systems, man-made environment, and ecological conscience.
During the next semester it will examine weather and water pollution, psychological
aspects of human relations, systems analysis, and urban planning. The forum wes
developed over a two-year period by members of the College of Arts and Sciences.

An outgrowth of the environmental forum class has been the emerging SUNYA
chapter of P.Y.E. ‘The club began at the Thomas School in Rowayton, Conn., and
is attempting to form chapters wherever possible, particularly in schools and
colleges.

The avowed goal of the club is to "make a concerted effort to educate
and act on problems of the environment at local, state, and possible national
levels." Members help to finance their activities through the sale of bumper
stickers and lapel buttons. Apparently the activity is catching on fast on the
Albany, judging from the number of people who wear the yellow buttons with the
blue and green triangles. The blue triangle represents clean air and water;
green stands for open space, plant life, and natural resources, Both rest
on @ background of yellow -- life-supporting sunlight.

The steering committee has planned a meeting for Thursday evening, February 5,
starting at 7 o'clock in Lecture Hall 23. Action statements and prospects for
P.Y.E. will be presented by Robert Rienow, professor of political science at
SUNYA and co-author of "Moment in the Sun"; Vincent J. Schaefer, director of
the university's Atmospheric Sciences Research Center; Donald C. McNaught,
director of Cranberry Lake Biological Station.and professor of biology at SUNYA.

PYE's major project currently is to arrange a teach-in on the environment
on April 22. The program is part of a national effort throughout the country.
Planned is a full day of events, including speakers, discussion groups, dramatic
performances, folk singing, and displays.

Promoting PYE clubs at other area schools is also @ major concern of Albany's
club. Interest in the movement has been shown at Union College, Hudson Valley
Community College, Cobleskill A & T College, Albany High School, and Delmar
Junior High School. Linton High in Schenectady supports PYE activities through
its Survival Club.

The School of Social Welfare, State University of New York at Albany, has
received word that all graduates in the Class of 1969 who took the New York State
social work certification examination successfully completed the test. Twenty-three
graduates, more than half the class, took the examination. The school had the second
highest percentage of 1969 graduates from schools throughout the state taking the test.

William S. Rooney, acting dean of the School of Social Welfare, commenting
on the report, said, ''We are very proud of the performance of our recent graduates
and we feel that it reflects the quality of education which we had hoped to achieve.

A very large percentage of the graduates currently are working in public and private
agencies in the vicinity and are helping to relieve the acute shortage of professional
personnel." He continued, "We have plans for continued expansion subject to the
usual budgetary considerations and the number of applicants indicates the confidence
in the school."

The school, which graduated its first class of 25 in 1967, has received full
accreditation from the Council on Social Work Education, The first graduating
class has qualified for accreditation and has achieved eligibility for full membership
in the national professional organization,

Currently, there are 87 students enrolled in the school which now has 18 faculty
members, At the time of the beginning year of the first class, there were four on

the faculty.

The College of Arts and Sciences at State University of New York
at Albany next summer will -offer its second annual program of intensive language
training for its pre-freshmen students in eight.locations: Canada, France,
ae Israel, Itely, Portugal, Puerto Rico, and Spain. There also is a
possibility that the program will be offered in one of the African nations.

Each group_of approximately 30 students will be directed by a SUNYA
staff member who will serve as coordinator and advisor. The programs will be
conducted in a variety of settings and instruction will be given by different
institutions which meet SUNYA standards for intensive language training. The
institutions will vary from exclusive language training programs such as the
well known Goethe Institut in Germany to a specially arranged course of studies
such as that to be given at Laval University in Quebec City.

Accommodations will range from rooming with families to staying
in student dormitories under conditions normal for the respective areas. While
the program has been designed for intensive language training, there will be
visits to nearby sites of cultural interest. Programs will last seven or eight
weeks during the months of July and August.

"The successful experience of the first PSLP group in Germany last
summer made it evident that this opportunity should be extended to as many
entering freshmen as possible," said William M. Derrick, assistant dean for
international studies of the College of Arts and Sciences. "The students from
the first program stressed the need to impress on future participants that the

program is for seriously motivated, emotionally stable, and physically vigorous

students", he added. Former students have said that they felt the first
PSLP program was an excellent preparation for university study.
The cost of the programs will vary from $600 to $950 depending largely
upon differences in transportation charges. The programs in Quebec and
Puerto Rico will be the least expensive, whereas the one in Israel will be
the most expensive. European programs will cost approximately $800. The
cost includes transportation, room, board, and tuition. Personal and incidental
expenses can be as soy as $100 if one lives as a student in the country

where he is studying.

Theodore P. Wright, Jr., associate professor of political science in
the Graduate School of Public Affairs at State University of New York at
Albany, is the recipient of a Faculty Research Fellowship awarded by the
American Institute of Indian Studies for study in India during the current
academic year. He is now at the department of civics and politics at the
University of Bombay.

Dr. Wright, whose project is entitled "modernization and Secularization
‘among the Bohra Muslims of Bombay", has chosen the Bohras as the object of his
study because he has been impressed "with the ‘progressivism’ of this ‘minority
within a minority’". He has described the purpose of his study as that of
"ascertaining the relationship between their changing religious organization
and values over the past century on the one hand, and their 'modern' social,
political and economic activities on the other ... and testing the hypothesis
that secularism is a byproduct of modernization, not its antecedent."

Professor Wright joined the faculty at the Albany university four years
ago. He holds degrees from Swarthmore College and Yale University. Before going
on sabbatical, Professor Wright taught courses in the development and politics
of South Asia and in the development of political systems at the Graduate School

of Public Affairs.

Utopias: The Impact of the New Deal on American Thought", published by Quad-
rangle Books. Dr. Ekirch, in his eighth major work, sheds new light on the
relations between the New Deal and its varied intellectual supporters and
eritics, based on materials in the National Archives, the Roosevelt Papers at
Hyde Park, and important private collections.

"Civilian-Military Relations in Brazil, 1869-1898", published by the
University of South Carolina Press, is the work of June E. Hahner, assistant

from a military government to a civilian government after the fall of the
monarchy in Brazil.

“Empire and Nations", published by the University of Toronto Press, was
co-edited by H. Peter Krosby, professor of history and chairman of the department
at the Albany university. The collection of essays, written in honor of a leading
Canadian authority on international affairs, Professor Frederic H. Soward of the
University of British Columbia, concentrates on the nations that evolved within

Thomas A, Boehm, associate professor of science education at State University
of New York at Albany, has received a $13, 705 grant from the National Science Found-
ation, The award is in support of a cooperative college-school science program designed
to improve junior high school instruction in several area school systems. A similar pro-
gram involving the university and a single school system was funded by NSF during 1969-70,
The current grant provides for expansion of the program to include three additional
school districts.

The proposal resulted from joint planning sessions involving Dr. Boehm; Dale
Westcott, science department chairman at Guilderland Junior High School; John Sitterly,
science department chairman, Mohonasen Central School; Edward Garno, curriculum
coordinator, Hudson Public Schools; Warren Brockley, supervisor of science for the
Albany Public Schools; and Drs. H. Craig Sipe and Walter Farmer, professors of
science education at SUNYA. The general plan is designed to assist teachers in moving

more rapidly toward implementing discovery-oriented science curricula at the junior high
school level.

The Intermediate Science Curriculum Study (ISCS) was selected as the principal
focus of the effort since the science education staff has much direct experience with it.
SUNYA's Milne School science department, chaired by Dr. Boehm, has been serving
as an independent trial center for this national curriculum study for the past two years,
and Dr. Sipe serves on the national advisory board for ISCS.

A three-week summer institute will be held in August to instruct the teachers in
science structure and process as treated in discovery-oriented science curricula,

Exemplars from the Introductory Physical Science and Time Space and Matter programs,
as well as the Intermediate Science Curriculum Study, will be included. The second
phase of the proposal involves a series of sixteen late afternoon sessions spaced through-
out the 1970-71 school year.

Professors Boehm, Farmer, and Sipe will provide the instruction for the program.
Approximately twenty participants selected from the science departments of Guilderland,
Mohonasen, Hudson, and Albany schools will be invited to attend. The National Science
Foundation will provide stipends and travel allowances for the participants and meet

the instructional costs of the institute program,

Richard Stankiewicz, professor of art at State University of New York at Albany,
will participate in a new program of lecture and presentations in the arts initiated by
the University-Wide Committee on the Arts of State University of New York. The new
series will assist in making possible visits by distinguished artists-in-residence at
one State University campus to einer campuses for the purpose of presenting special
programs relating to their creative work.

Professor Stankiewicz, who joined the Albany faculty in 1967, is a Life Fellow of
the International Institute of Arts and Letters. He is represented in collections at
the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, Art Institute of
Chicago, Albright-Know Gallery, Walker Art Center, Solomon R. Guggenheim
Museum, Dayton Art Institute and Stockholm National Museum, as well as in pri-
vate collections.

Prior to organizing the Hansa Gallery in New York in 1952, the artist studied at
the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts, Atelier Fernand Leger in Paris, and at Ossip
Zadkine School of Sculpture, also in Paris. He has lectured at several institutions
throughout the country. The include Amherst, Tampa Art Institute, Skowhegan
School of Arts, University of Miami, and University of Wisconsin.

Professor Stankiewicz, who lives in Worthington, Mass., has had his works ex-
hibited in many sections of the United States and in a number of other countries. He
has exhibited at Houston Museum of Fine Arts; the 29th Venice Biennial; Claude
Bernard, Paris; Stedelijik Museum, Amsterdam; Chicago Art Institute; Sixth Sao
Paulo Biennial; National Museum, Stockholm; Seattle World's Fair; University of
Minnesota; and Denver Children's Museum, among the other museums, art institutions,

and galleries. (more)

One-man shows of his unusual sculpture have been held at the Hansa, Frumkin
and Stable galleries in New York; Galerie Neufville, Paris; Pace Gallery, Boston;
Rodin Museum, Paris; and Walter Art Center in New York.

The new university-wide program seeks to make possible intercampus sharing
in the visual, spoken, and composition arts in much the way the established
University Artists program functions for the performing arts. In his letter of
invitation to Professor Stankiewicz, Chancellor Samuel B. Gould said, "The art
of sculpture is beginning to claim an important place within the University community,
and the Committee seeks to encourage this activity by making available to our campuses
the more important artists in this field."

Christmas recess and intersession. While dormitories will be closed during the
period, other student and academic services will be provided at the same level as
during any recess.

Under the new calendar, the fall semester will begin earlier. Residence halls
will open August 30, opening faculty meetings will be held Spetember 1, and classes
will begin September 3. The Thanksgiving recess will begin Thursday November 25,
at 6 p.m. and resume the following Monday. Final examinations will be held
December 15 through December 22.

During the spring semester, the recess will begin Saturday, April 3, and con-
tinue until Monday, April 12, when classes resume. Final examinations will be held
May 7 through May 15. Commencement exercises are scheduled for Saturday, May 22,
at 2p.m. In recent years the graduation program has been held on Sunday at 10 a.m,
