The School of Criminal Justice, State University of New York at Albany, the
only major school focusing on criminal justice in the nation, has received a three-
year, $658, 000 grant from National Science Foundation. The award was made under
the NSF Research Applied to National Needs (RANN) program.
Dean Richard A, Myren said the funds will be used ''for general support of the
development of research capabilities of the school."' ''We have developed slowly and
steadily, with careful planning, '' noted the chief administrator of the three-year old
school, "This grant will help further our research programs."
Over the three-year period, the NSF funds will provide for nine additional
faculty members, six post-doctoral fellowships, 40 graduate student fellowships,
six positions for technical personnel, and secretarial support. Library resources,
computer time, and equipment also will be funded through the grant.
Among the hew equipment will be a unique mobile experimental decision-making
laboratory, which also will serve as an interviewing facility. The mobile lab will
facilitate on-the-spot study at correction institutions, law enforcement agencies, and
other criminal justice establishments.
There is little doubt as to the School of Criminal Justice's qualifications under
the RANN program, Crime is a major national problem and the research being con-
ducted by faculty and students of the school is aimed at solving the many aspects of
that problem,
The school is conducting research in four basic areas relating to crime: (1) the
nature of crime as a social phenomenon; (2) the nature of social control mechanisms

School of Criminal Justice Grant (2)
used by society to contain crime; (3) the organization and operation of the criminal
justice system; and (4) innovation and change in the criminal justice system.
The NSF staff report, on which the decision was made to fund the program, was
complimentary to the School of Criminal Justice.
"The school is the only one of its kind in the United States,'' the report stated,
"The research output is unique. The multidisciplinary nature of the school and its
research, coupled with the direct linkages into the New York State and Federal
criminal justice systems, will allow the research findings to have early
implementation."
The site visitors further indicated their high regard for the program and the
staff, one noting that it has become a national resource."
The idea for a development of a School of Criminal Justice came from Governor
Rockefeller's office in 1960. Dr. Myren was appointed dean in 1966 to begin
planning a program. The first students were admitted in 1967.

David Duffee, a doctoral candidate in the State University of New York
at Albany School of Criminal Justice, has received a grant of $8, 937 from
the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, Washington,
D.C. The award, for a one-year period ending May 31, 1972, is for Mr.
Duffee's research, ''Using Correctional Officers in Planned Change".
Mr. Duffee is conducting his research primarily at the Connecticut
Correctional Institution, Osborne Division, Enfield, Conn. He sees as a key
problem in achieving prison reform and change the motivation of correction
officers to feel rewarded in their contributions. The officers have a sub-
culture of their own, much as do the inmates, Mr. Duffee said. They face
)problems of status, control, and prestige, and their mechanisms for
dealing with them may not always agree with those of the administrators,
In his research, Mr, Duffee is examining the blocks preventing achieveing
a united effort in planned change and determining how correction officers best
may contribute to the change.
Mr. Duffee is a graduate of St. Lawrence University, where he earned a
Bachelor of Arts. He received his master's degree in criminal justice from
SUNYA,

in their respective fields. E. Maynard Adams, department of philosophy, University of
North Carolina, and Clyde E. Noble, department of psychology, University of Georgia,
are two such experts. Dr. Noble's specialization is in the study of experimental
psychology and verbal learning.
A number of special programs highlight the summer curriculum. A program of
theatre study in Great Britain is sponsored jointly by the university and the Association
for Cultural Exchange, a British organization chartered in New York State. SUNYA and
the SU College of Forestry at Syracuse University will conduct a program in environ-
mental biology at the Cranberry Lake Biological Station in the Adirondacks. The Lake

Billy M. Taylor and Eddie Ray Wallace, students at Gram bling College in Louisiana,
are among six students studying at State University of New York at Albany this summer
as the result of $5,210 in awards made under the National Science Foundation's Under-
graduate Research Participation Program. The purpose of the NSF grant is to encourage
outstanding students to develop independence in research during their undergraduate years.
C. Luther Andrews, former chairman of the university's physics department, is director
of the 10-week summer project.
Mr. Taylor, a junior and physics major at Grambling, is doing independent research
in the study of microwave optics, dielectric wave guide. In experimenting with standing
waves at oblique incidence upon a plane mirror, Taylor discovered that expansion of the
distance between microwave source and mirror would enable one to measure the wave -
lengths, distances between nodes of standing waves, with great accuracy at angles of
incidence up to 75 degrees. Previously, only at incident angles of 60 degrees could one
determine with precision the nodal distances.
Taylor has a four year merit scholarship at Grambling where he has earned a 3, 852
cumulative average. He attended Wisconsin State University last spring.
Wallace, a physics major at Gram bling College with a 3.84 average, is studying the
interaction of microwaves with matter. His long-range interest is in liquid crystals,
an unusual intermediate state of matter. When he returns to Grambling for his junior
year, he hopes to continue part-time research in the department of physics, studying the
application of the technique of nuclear quadropole resonance to an understanding of
crystal structures.
At SUNYA, the offices of the vice presidents for academic and student affairs, assisted
in the funding of the special study project.

A large exhibition of contemporary prints will open the sum mer exhibition
program of the Art Gallery at State University of New York at Albany on Monday,
June 28. The exhibition, called ''Artist's Choice", will show works by 30 artists.
Fifteen distinguished artists, who have made major contributions to American
printmaking, were invited to recommend a fellow printmaker who they felt would
benefit from the exposure to a major exhibition. Their choices range from outstand-
ing students to respected colleagues. No restrictions were placed on the recommended
artists. The works submitted were in almost all cases selected by the participants,
many of whom are exhibiting in their first major show.
In the exhibition "prints'' has been defined in broad context to include multiple
objects, banners, and constructions in addition to the many adaptions of more tradi-
tional techniques. "Artist's Choice'' contains 90 works in all,
The New Mexico artist Garo Antresian, whose technical virtuosity has influenced
many younger artists, is ‘represented in the exhibition by three color lithographs which
reflect his recent preoccupations with color relationships played out through simple
mathematical and geometric forms.
Roy Lichtenstein, who startled and amused gallery goers for a decade with his
prints based on the comics, has turned to the Art-Deco style of the '30's for source
material, Mr. Lichtenstein's ''Modern Head" combines a female profile in Rainbow
Room" architectural style with the enlarged Ben-Day dots that have become a Lich-
tenstein trade-mark.
Robert Rauschenberg, who was the Lichtenstein artist's choice" for the exhib-
ition, shows two lithographs from a series of prints made after the artist participated

in the activities surrounding the Apollo 11 mission at Cape Kennedy. Another Raus-
chenberg print, entitled "Storyline 3", is part of a series in which the artist used
contemporary movie stills imposed on the lithographic stone and combined them
with more traditional lithographic drawing techniques.
The widespread interest of modern printmakers with innovative printing
procedures and mixed-media works is evident in the inkless intaglio prints of Omar
Rayo and the vaccum-form multiple objects of Brenden Atkinson. Larry Rivers, well
known for his series of paintings and prints of ''The Last Civil War Veteran", will be
exhibiting a plexi-glass multiple entitled "Elephants".
"Artist's Choice" has been organized by Robert Bero, ‘assistant professor of art,
State University College at Potsdam. The exhibition will remain in Albany through
July 18 and may be seen from 9 a.m, to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from
7 to 9p.m., Wednesday evenings. The gallery will be closed on Saturdays and
Sundays during the summer months.
