SUMMER SESSIONS AT SUNYA ATTRACT 5,000
A total of 5,000 students are expected to have registered in
pre-session and other special summer programs at State University
of New York at Albany. Paul A. Saimond, director of summer sessions,
said that the number is equivalent to last summer's enrollment.
Registration packets numbering 1,425 were completed last Monday
for the regular six-week session alone, according to Registrar
Donald W. Bunis. Many others already had preregistered for courses.
During the pre-session, which began the second week in June,
some 60 courses were offered. All told, for the current summer
sessions, an estimated 600 courses and 300 faculty are listed.
Director Saimond reports that there are "more and more de-
mands for intensive three-week courses such as those offered
during pre-session and for evening courses at both graduate and
undergraduate levels." The number of evening classes has been
increased this year. Some of them are of particular interest to
general studies students and are offered through the Office of
Summer Sessions.
The popular summer session in biology continues to be con-
ducted at the Cranberry Lake field station. Students also may
receive credit through the College of Arts and Sciences for pro-
grams at the Institute on Man and Science at Rensselaerville.
A small library program is being conducted in England under
Dorothy Cole. It consists of a three-week course in British li-
brarianship and a three-week internship in a British library.

percent increase in number of donors.
Commenting on the 1975 award, Alumni Affairs Director Ronald
Schafer said, "Participation is the key to the fund's success and
any gift, regardless or size, is critical to the continuance of
excellence at SUNYA. If our alumni respond as they have for the
past two years, we stand a good chance of winning the national award
again next year."

mark in contributions, with more than 2,500 alumni having partici-
pated.

at Albany under the National Science Foundation Undergraduate
Participation Program, according to Ronald J. Zwarich, assistant
professor of chemistry and program director. In addition, four
students are conducting research under grants offered by other

students and some 222 projects. Under the grant, SUNYA has re-
ceived $23,940, which provides participants with a $960 stipend
for the 12-week, period.
URP projects are designed to improve college instruction by
demonstrating the teaching effectiveness that results from placing
major responsibility for learning upon the student. The research
also is designed to expand the students' knowledge and help them
learn the creativity expected of scientists.
Participating students are full-time undergraduates who are
selected on the basis of academic performance, promise as an inde-
pendent researcher, and suitability of research interests to on-going
projects at the university. Of the 16 students, 10 are from SUNYA and
six from other institutions.

STUDENT EXHIBITIONS TO OPEN AT UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY
An exhibition featuring the work of two young artists who
are candidates for the master's degree in studio art will open at
the University Art Gallery, State University of New York at Albany,
on Thursday, July 24.
Jason Stewart, who is one of the artists, has been a part-
time faculty member at Hudson Valley Community College while work-
ing on his advanced degree. He is a Texas native and a graduate
of the University of Maine. Mr. Stewart's brilliantly colored
canvases produce a variety of optical effects not only within them-
selves but in relation to one another.
Involvement in both print making and sculpture has led to
the creation of a series of three-dimensional prints which incor-
porate folded and cut paper by East Chatham resident Rosemarie
Keevil. Ms. Keevil received a bachelor of fine arts degree from
Philadelphia College of Art in 1971. She also did undergraduate
work at Indiana University and the Parsons School of Design.
The thesis exhibitions of Ms. Keevil and Mr. Stewart may be
seen during the gallery's summer hours until Aug. 8. The gailery
is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 1 to
4 p.m. on Sunday.

THREE SUNYA STUDENTS GOING TO SOVIET UNION
Three students at State University of New York at Albany are
among 10 students from SUNY's four university centers who will fly
to the Soviet Union next month to begin a semester of intensive
study of the Russian language at the Moscow State Institute of
Foreign Languages as part of the second year of the only ongoing
undergraduate exchange between an American university and a Soviet
institution of higher learning.
The exchange students from SUNYA are Lyn Cutulle, 20, of
1011 Ninth Avenue, Watervliet; Robert Gusberti, 21, of 1212 Hillside
Drive, Watervliet; and Kathleen McBride, 20, of 5414 Prescott
Road, Utica. Mr. Cutulle and Mr. Gusberti roomed with Soviet stu-
dents at SUNYA during the 1974 program, profiting from both
linguistic and cross-cultural exchanges.
Mr. Cutulle's interest in Russian language began in his fresh-
man year at Watervliet High School. Although he has business as a
second field, he recently entered the secondary education major
program and he will receive temporary certification to teach
languages upon graduation.
As he looks forward to studying in the Soviet Union, Mr.
Cutulle states, "I hope to improve my competency with my business
minor in a position which may involve trade or some related business."

THREE SUNYA STUDENTS GOING TO SOVIET UNION -2-
Mr. Gusberti has spent about eight years studying Russian
languages. In the summer of 1973 he spent six weeks in the Soviet
Union as a travel-study experience. He hopes to become a teacher
of Russian and will go directly into a student-teaching assignment
when he returns from the Soviet Union in January.
Commented the student, "Not only will I be able to teach my
students Russian, but I hope to be able to share with them some of
the culture I observed, and that, too, is a very important aspect
of teaching a foreign language."
Miss McBride, a joint Russian-English major, has achieved a
3.85 cumulative academic index out of a possible 4. She looks
forward to the semester in Moscow as.a fine opportunity to learn
Russian on an everyday basis.
The Soviet Union-bound student said, "It seems that the more
(language) I learn, the more I realize I don't know...I'm strongly
convinced that the only way to obtain a sense of competency with
the language is to use it."
The 10 Soviet students will arrive at SUNYA the week of Aug. 17.
The students, selected on the basis of their facility in English
after many years of study, are future translators and interpreters.
The historic exchange program had its beginnings with an
agreement signed in Moscow by SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer and
officials of the Soviet Ministry of Higher Education in April 1974.
Levy Bazhanov, chief of main administration for the Soviet
Ministry of Higher Education, at a meeting in Moscow this spring,
reaffirmed the Ministry's decision to continue the exchange which
he now regards as "firmly established".

THREE SUNYA STUDENTS GOING TO SOVIET UNION -3-
Among the SUNYA-bound group will be the first woman Soviet
student in the program. Another first is that both the US and
USSR program advisers, the faculty members who will administer
and give counsel to the resective 10-member delegations, will
be women.
As before, the Soviets will room with American students here
in dormitory suites or double rooms. They will take part in foreign
student orientation which approximately 250 students from 60
other nations enrolled at SUNYA will undergo.
SUNY students, who completed a group orientation workshop
in May, will fly to the Soviet Union on Sept. 16. If space be
available, they will reside in a dormitory with Soviet students in
Moscow. Field trips to places of cultural, historical, and
educational interest will supplement the academic programs of
both groups.
The two cooperating institutions are moving to expand the
exchange into the graduate education and faculty areas. During
the past spring semester, Professor Klavdia Gorchkova, head of
Moscow State University's Department of Russian Philology, was a
guest professor and methodologist at the University Center at
Albany. An invitation has been extended to one of SUNY's distin-
guished teaching professors to conduct a seminar for the faculty
of Moscow State Institute of Foreign Languages soon.
Exchanges of textbooks and other materials also have taken
place between the two institutions, involving both SUNYA's
Department of English as a Second Language and Department of Slavic
Languages and Literatures.
