first-hand observation of the social and cultural mores as well as
academically.

The Japanese students are attending classes in the mass media,
which will include a tour of a local television station and the Capital
District newspapers, in addition to English and literature courses.
Other classes include the American family, American women, race
and ethnic groups in America, American economy, and American politics.

State Legislature.

have time for special tours. The group is scheduled to visit Hyde Park,
Saratoga Battlefield and Dig* and Cooperstown,

Group leader and spokesman Yoshikazu ''Yoshi'' Takekoshi, the
only student who has been in the United States before, said the group
has been impressed with the size of SUNYA and the diversity of races
on campus.

"Many of the students were expecting to see only whites here, but
were pleased to find that other races were also represented."

"The vastness of the university is also surprising and impressive.
The universities in Japan are small, intimate institutions."

Yoshi also commented on the American attitude toward sports,
"The American people are very aggressive in their outlook, whether
watching or participating in a sport, especially baseball or football.

Th: Japan we are as interested in winning as here, but we do not
show the emotion such as yelling, clapping, and grabbing people around
us when our team scores.

"Our experiences here, '' he continued, "have been very good and
we are looking forward to the rest of our stay in Albany and the tour
of the United States after we leave the university."

The group will leave Albany on August 1 and travel to Tennessee
State University in Nashville, where they will be hosted by several families.
Their itinerary then includes visits to Memphis, Dallas, and E1 Paso,
Carlsbad Caverns, Phoenix, then on to Los Angeles and San I’ranciseo

TWO SUNYA ARTISTS REPRESENTED IN RUSSIAN SHOW

Professor Thomas J, O'Connor and assistant professor Robert Cartmell,
both of the State University of New York at Albany Art Department, are among
22 American artists (18 of them from units of SUNY), whose work is on display
this summer in Russia. An exhibition of contemporary American graphic art,
sponsored by SUNY at Binghamton, is being shown at the Pushkin Museum in
Moscow and later will be taken on tour throughout the Soviet Union,

The show is believed to be the first art exhibition sent by an American
university to the USSR under terms of cultural agreements between the two
countries which date from 1959. Michael Milkovitch, director of the University
Art Gallery in Binghamton, organized and personally delivered the exhibition,
He has been invited to select Soviet graphic art for a 1975 showing in this country.

Each of the 22 artists represented in the current display has been invited
to donate one work to the permanent collection of the Pushkin Museum, the
largest in Moscow and noted for its collection of Western art.

Mr. O'Connor has been on the SUNYA faculty since 1962. He has had
many previous exhibitions and his work is included in collections at the Museum
of Modern Art, the Library of Congress, and several European museums. He
uses a limited color scheme of low-contrast tones which give his subjects,
usually single figures, a subdued, dream-like atmosphere, He is a graduate
of Florida State University and holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Cranbrook

Academy of Art.
