ALBANY UNIVERSITY CENTER PARTICIPATING IN COLLEGE VENTURE PROGRAM
State University of New York at Albany is one of 17 schools
in the Northeast participating in the College Venture Program of
the Institute for Off-Campus Experience and Cooperative Education.
The program, based at Northeastern University in Boston, is design-
ed to assist students who desire to take a year out from colleges
to test themselves in the outside world.
The SUNYA program is in the planning stage, according to cam-
pus coordinator of the College Venture Program Jeffrey Collins, who
also is an academic advisor at University College, SUNYA. "We held
a general interest meeting," he explained, "and the following day
some 35 students met with a representative from Venture Institute."
The program is expected to get underway for the spring semester
and approximately 40 students will be placed either then or next
fall. With ties to Northeastern, SUNYA is able to make use of job
developers and placement services. Representatives come to the uni-
versity, interview those interested, submit their applications and
resumes to various industries, and then the industries, if inter-
ested, contact the students. Mr. Collins stated that in the past,
one out of every three students has been placed.

COLLEGE VENTURE PROGRAM
Commenting on the future of the program, the coordinator stated,
"Whether or not the program will survive depends on how many students
show an interest and on the success of placement of students."
Other participating institutions include Bates College, Brown
University, Canisius College, Colby College, Colgate University,
Connecticut College, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Hamp-
shire College, Hobart and William Smith College, St. Bonaventure
University, Trinity College, Tufts University, Union College, and

CLEVELAND QUARTET CONCERT NOV. 16 AT SUNYA'S DRAPER HALL
The Cleveland Quartet will give an all-Beethoven program on
Sunday, Nov. 16, at 4 p.m. in Page Hall on the downtown campus of
State University of New York at Albany as the second concert in the
University Celebrity Series.
The members of the quartet are violinists Donald Weilerstein
and Peter Salaff, violist Martha Strongin Katz, and cellist Paul
Katz. The group will perform Beethoven's "Opus 18, No. 6," "Opus
59, No. 3," "Opus 130," and "Grosse Fuge."
Acclaimed by press and concert-goers around the musical world
as one of the great string quartets of our time, the Cleveland Quar-
tet becomes all the more impressive when one realizes that their
launching at the Marlboro Music Festival was in the summer of 1969.
Their first album of the complete string quartets of Brahms gained
instant acclaim, including best of the year awards from "Time Maga-
zine" and "Stereo Review."
Harold Schonberg, of the "New York Times," has said of the group:
"This is dne of the finest quartets in practice...each player is a
top instrumentalist, and each meshes beautifully with the other...
Theixn tone is unusually suave and nuanced. Few of today's string
quartets have the grace and senstivity that the Cleveland Quartet
brings to the music."

FRENCH PRIZE-WINNING FILM AT SUNYA NOV. 14, 15
"Alexander," a French film directed by Yves Robert, will be
shown on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 14 and 15, at 8 p.m. in the Re-
cital Hall of the Performing Arts Center at State University of
New York at Albany as the second in a series of highly acclaimed
films entitled "Prize International Cinema." The series is being
sponsored SUNYA's Office of University Affairs.
"Alexander" is a joyful denunciation of the work ethic and all
its pitfalls. Alexander is a dreamer and a loafer. When finally
free to enjoy his pleasures rathes feene, he finds a hard-working
community morally outraged by his life style and desperately try-
ing to subvert it. It is a film for anyone who has ever longed for
the pleasures of irresponsibility.
Mr. Robert, director, has worked in cabaret, theatre, and films
and had acted in more than 30 films before becoming a producer with
his wife, French actress Daniele Delorme. Philippe Noiret, the star
of "Alexander," has just finished two pictures in Hollywood: "Justine"
and Alfred Hitchcock's "Topaz."
Judith Crist, of "New York Magazine," described the film as "A
very happy now comedy," and a reviewer for the "New York Times" com-
mented, "A funny picture, peppery humor and biting dialogue. Beguil-
ing, impudent, and wise."

LECTURE ON ASSASSINATION RESEARCH SET AT SUNYA
Robert Saltzman, a computer analyst and designer who has work-
ed closely with the federal government's Committee to Investigate
Assassinations, will speak on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 8 p.m. in the
Campus Center Ballroom, State University of New York at Albany.
A computer system designer at General Electric Co.'s Research
and Development Center, Saltzman became involved in the investiga-
tion almost accidentally when, as a student at Union College, he
responded to a call for someone to help run a computer analysis of
known facts about the John F. Kennedy assassination. His first
attempt at a system proved to be workable, but "unfortunately we
ran out of time, money, and people, so it never really got off the
ground," he said.
Intrigued by the subject, Mr. Saltzman continued to study
the matter on his own. In 1971, he was asked to pinch-hit on a
lecture date on behalf of the Committee to Investigate Assassina-
tions. "That started the ball rolling on what I do mostly now,
which is lectures and college presentations around the country,"
he said. Mr. Saltzman estimates that he has made perhaps 40 to 50
such formal lectures, as well as hundreds of talks to smaller groups.
"The thing that's very ironic about all this research-y stuff
I'm doing," he added, "is that basically I consider myself an enter-
tainer more than anything else. It might be a funny use of words,

but there's nothing else, really, to come up with. My major con-
tribution to the whole thing, with the help of many other people,
has been an ability to dramatize certain information and to hold
audiences."
Admission to the lecture, which is sponsored by University
Speakers Forum, is free with a student tax card and 50 cents with-
out.

for an encore makes you think."

TWO FRENCH ONE-ACTERS TO BE PERFORMED AT SUNYA NOV. 20
Two modern French absurdist plays, Eugene Ionesco's "The
Lesson" and Samuel Beckett's "Krapp's Last Tape," will be per-
formed in French at State University of New York at Albany on
Thursday, Nov. 20, at 8:30 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Per-
forming Arts Center. The Bernard Yuzan Company from Boston, who
presented Sartre's "No Exit" at SUNYA last year, will perform
the two one-acters.
“The Lesson" is a satire on teaching and consists almost
entirely of a progression of words. It originally was performed
with Ionesco's "The Bald Soprano," his famous tragedy of language.
"Krapp's Last Tape" tells the story of an elderly man who
makes a tape on his birthday and listens to previous tapes in
celebration of his birthday. One particular tape he plays re-
counts a time in his youth when he was in love and had aspirations
for becoming a writer. In his last tape, he laughs at the ideal-
ism of his youth, and implies that life has no meaning. At the
end of the play, the tape runs on in silence.
Tickets for the performance are $1.50 for faculty, students
and staff with identification cards and for members of the Al-
liance Francais and $2.50 for all others. The university's depart-
ment of French and the Alliance Francais are co-sponsoring the
event.

CELLIST TO BE FEATURED IN FACULTY RECITAL AT SUNYA ON NOV. 24
David Gibson, cellist and composer in the State University of
New York at Albany music department, will present a varied pro-
gram of cello music at a faculty recital, Monday, Nov. 24, at 8:30
p.em. in the Recital Hall of the Performing Arts Center.
Mr. Gibson holds degrees from the Juilliard School of Music
and Yale University. During his tour of duty in the U. S. Army,
Mr. Gibson founded the U.S.M.A. String Quartet stationed at West
Point. For two years he was cellist and composer at the Center for
the Creative and Performing Arts in Buffalo.
Among the awards Mr. Gibson has received are two National En-
dowment for the Arts Awards, a Creative Artists Public Service Grant,
and a SUNY Fellowship. He also was winner of the Tokyo American
Center Composition Competition.
At the Nov. 24th concert, Mr. Gibson will be joined by Paula
Ennis, of the music faculty, in a performance of Beethoven's "Cello
Sonata #5 in D Major, Op. 102, No. 2." Mr. Gibson also will per-
form two pieces that were written for his former cello teacher,
Aldo Parisot. The first, Donald Martino's "Parisonatina," is a
virtuoso unaccompanied cello piece with all the flair and fire-
works of most virtuoso music. In contrast, Yehudi Wyner's "De
Novo" is a quiet and pleasingly nostalgic work for cello and small
ensemble.

The University Art Gallery, State University of New York at
Albany, will jump the gun on its Bicentennial offerings with the
premier showing of Robert Cartmell's "Coast to Coast Coasters,"
an exhibition of 100 large photo panels with text which document
the American roller coaster.
After its opening exhibition period at the university, where
Mr. Cartmell is an assistant professor of art, "Coast to Coast
Coasters*will be circulated by the Smithsonian Institution to mu-
seum and galleries throughout the United States and Canada as part
of its Bicentennial Exhibitions Program.
In June of 1974 just after he had received a grant from the
Smithsonian to organize and assemble his photographs and materials
into exhibition form, Cartmell wrote an article for the "New York
Times" entitled "The Ultimate Coaster," which included a section
called by the author, "Tasters Choice: The Top Ten" in which he
evaluated for‘readers his "best roller coaster" choices. "The
Ultimate Coaster" of the article's title is the "Thundercolt" at
Kennywood Park in Pennsylvania.
The exhibition will include a listing of record breaking coast-
ers (highest, longest, fastest), a complete ride sequence, and a
thorough history of roller coasters. For its Albany showing only

model made by Roger D. Francais of Newton, Mass. The model is some
6 feet onlg and constructed of balsa wood, leather, and cardboard.
Mr. Cartnell, whe has been riding roller coasters since
he was a preschooler. conteases to having a terrible fear of heights
which he discovered when climbing up on coasters to take the photo-
graphs for the exhibition. He says, "I feel perfectly safe about
riding the coasters. I've ridden the famous Coney Island "Cyclone"
100 times. It opened in the mid 1920's. All of the best coasters
were built in the 1920's."
The concluding panel in the "Coast to Coast Coasters" ex-
hibition has a photograph of Robert Cartmell and his two children
riding the "Cyclone." As for Mrs. Cartmell, "She won't ride them
at all," says her husband.
" During the same time, graduate students Barbara Walker,
Joseph Russ, and zbynek Korber will be showing their work in the
Gallery.
Ms. Walker will show pastels and paintings. She has been
working from intimate still life set-ups and landscapes of the Adir-
ondacks. Joseph Russ' paintings are the artist's personal inter-
pxctations oF religious old-master paintings. His drawings, water-
colors, and prints are a form of diary of the places he has lived.

GERMAN FILM SET FOR DEC. 5, 6 IN SUNYA SERIES
"A Free Woman," a German film directed by Volker Schlondorff,
will be shown Friday and Saturday, Dec. 5 and 6, at 8 p.m. in the
Performing Arts Center Recital Hall at State University of New York
at Albany. The film is the third in a series of highly acclaimed
foreign films entitled "Prize International Cinema," sponsored by
SUNYA's Office of University Affairs.
The German film recently completed a successful engagement in
New York where critics acclaimed it as the most astute movie yet
made on the subject of a woman's quest for independence. The auto-
biographical-fiction film is about a woman who divorces her husband
in order to find some path to independence - a complicated, rocky
path, as she learns, since one's life is not all that simple. The
film stars Margarethe von Trotta, who also wrote the script which
is based on an episode in her life.
Judith Crist, of "New York Magazine," said of the film: "A
remarkable detailing of the ‘emancipation’ of a young woman. One
that will fascinate and stimulate us. Once again, as we have with
Bergman, Fellini, De Sica, Chabrol, we must thank a foreign film-
maker for exploring the persona of a woman with such perception and
in such universal terms that we can claim her as our own.
Howard Thompson, of the "New York Times," described the film
as "Uncommonly engrossing. A fine, thoughtful and stimulating film
that observantly mirrors the traditional subordination of women

CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEAN TO TAKE POST AT AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
Richard A. Myren, dean of the School of Criminal Justice at
State University of New York at Albany, is resigning from the
deanship and professorship he now holds at the school to become
director of the Center for Administration of Justice at American
University in Washington, D. C. His resignation is effective
June 30, 1976, and he will begin his new duties on the following
day.
Dean Myren has served as dean of the school since 1966, two
years prior to its enrolling its first students. He also has been
serving for several months as interim dean of the School of Nursing
at the University Center at Albany.
President Emmett B. Fields has high praise for Dean Myren's
work in establishing and directing the school. He said, "Dick
Myren's leadership in the School of Criminal Justice, and more
broadly on the campus, has been both enlightened and vigorous, with
the result that the School stands as a national model for programs
of its kind. Dean Myren's departure July 1 next year will cause
him to be sorely missed here. We are grateful that we will continue
to enjoy him as a colleague for all of the intervening months."
Looking back at the school's progress since its establishment,
Dean Myren commented, "The important thing is that it has become
an institution with a life of its own. It is not dependent on any
single person. I am sure that it will be a strong part of the Uni-
41400 WASHINGTON AVENUE * ALBANY, NEW¥ORK 12222 * AREA CODE 518 457-4904

versity from now on. Another important factor is our ability to
attract to Albany an outstanding faculty and, by that virtue, an
outstanding student body has been instrumental in the building
process."
Then the dean looked ahead to the new post at American Uni-
versity. "It will be a tremendous challenge to build a multi-
facted program of excellence in the justice field in the nation's
capital," he remarked. "I think that there is an opportunity there
to meet that challenge. I believe that in the program that does
exist there is strength on which we can build."
Dean Myren, who resides with his family in Guilderland,
added, "The difficult part is leaving Albany where we have come
to have very strong attachments both personal and professional."
The educator, who enjoys both a national and international
reputation in his field, served two years ago as president of the
Association of Criminal Justice Scientists, an association of
professors of criminal justice in the United States. In 1973 he
was elected to membership in The American Law Institute. His
election was viewed as a particular honor and a singular recog-
nition of Dean Myren's contributions to the profession since he
is not a practicing attorney.
Dean Myren, a native of Racine, Wisc., holds degrees from
the tnivexaity of Wisconsin and from Harvard Law School. Before
coming to Albany he taught in the department of police adminis-
tration at Indiana University. Earlier he was associate research
professor of public law and government and assistant director of
the Institute of Government at the University of North Carolina.
