deans. The associate deans not only will discharge the functions previously per-
formed by division chairmen, but also will have certain college-wide responsibilities.
Dr. McLaren, who formerly was chairman of the division of science and
mathematics, already has assumed his new duties. Dr. Colman will move to his new
post September 1 when Dr. Edward P. Shaw, presently chairman of the division of
humanities, returns to teaching and writing. Dr. Shaw had asked to be relieved
of his administrative duties.
Dr. McLaren, a professor of science who joined the faculty in 1960,
holds degrees from State University at Albany and from Washington University where
he received his doctorate. Dr. Colman, professor of Romance languages, has been
on the Albany faculty since 1964. He did undergraduate work at Harvard University.

Robert Lewis, this year's holder of the Agnes E. Futterer Lectureship
in Dramatic Art at State University of New York at Albany, will present his
second of two public lectures on Monday, March 18, in Page Hall at 8:30 p.m.
The lecture, sponsored by the Theatre Alumni Association and the Department of
Speech and Dramatic Art at the University, is open to the public, and there
is no admission charge. Tickets of admission are necessary though and may be
obtained by calling the State University Theatre box office at the Campus
Center or at the door the evening of the lecture.
The subject for Mr. Lewis's second lecture will be the current
New York theatre season. Mr. Lewis calls his talk, 4A Non-Critic Reviews
The New York Theatre Season." The title, he says, was chosen to make clear
the fact that he is not a critic. His point-of-view of the New York season
will be that of a director, actor, and teacher with thirty years of professional
experience. Mr. Lewis plans to discuss both Broadway and Off-Broadway shows
and to relate them to his own theory of theatre which he calls "The Third Force."
In his first lecture this year, Mr. Lewis discussed in detail his theory that
both the physical and emotional elements of theatre must be brought into
balance if American theatre is ever to develop fully.
As part of his non-critic's review of the current New York season,
Mr. Lewis plans to raise and discuss such questions as "How sick is the
Fabulous Invalid"? His reference, of course, is to the widely-held opinion
that Broadway theatre is seriously ill and perhaps dying. In addition, he
plans to examine the questions Where is off-off-off Broadway? and What

Active in plans for the center have been Dr. Earl G. Droessler, assistant
to the president for research; Dr. Vincent J. Schaefer, director of the university's
Atmospheric Sciences Research Center; and Dr. McLaren, physical scientists; Dr.
Harold F, Blum and Dr. Rabinowitch, biological scientists; Dr. James J. Heaphy
and Dr. Orville F. Poland, social scientists; and Dr. Martin S. Levey, scientist-
historian.
Included among the interests of those presently working with the center are
evolutionary processes with emphasis on cultural evolution, history and philosophy
of science, science education, unity of knowledge, and international affairs.
Being formed is a commitment toward broad environmental problems, physical and
social.
The general purpose of the center is to undertake study and research oriented
toward the problem of determing how society may approach an understanding of the
feasibility and desirability of controlling its own evolution by directively utilizing
the data, structure and processes and the findings of science. Further, as the
center develops, it is intended to disseminate such information through publications
and the formulation of programs in general and continuing science education.
Dr. McLaren pointed out that a new group of young researchers concerned with
the purpose of the center also will be trained as useful and inventive participants
in the solution of the most pressing problems of society. The purposes are long-

Dr. Max M. Scheer, chairman of the administration committee of the
University of Wurzburg, is on an extended Visit to the campus of State University
of New York at Albany. At the German university now are 27 students from the
Albany institution and from State University College at Oneonta as part of
an exchange program headed at Wurzburg, by Dr. Scheer.
Studying at Albany are four graduate students from the University
of Wurzburg. Their major fields of study are biology, English literature,
physics, and public administration,
Dr. Scheer, a physicist, has commented during his visit on the ex-
perience of the exchange students. Of the SUNYA students he said, "In the
first period of such an exchange program most of the students had difficulties
in adapting to the German language and customs and to the very different
university system. Consequently, they had to work hard and were very successful
at the end of the first semester. Some of the students asked for an extended
period of their stay in Wurzburg."
In speaking of the Albany university, Dr. Scheer noted, "This
university has a very good future and so we are very glad to have connections
especially with this university. We hope that with the help of my colleagues
here and with the help of my colleagues in Wurzburg we can develop this exchange
program. Next will be the exchange of professors and in the future we all
hope to have joint research programs between our two universities,"
Of the Wurzburg students at Albany, the prominent educator stated,
“They all are very glad to be here. They are satisfied and my hope is that
the younger graduate students from our university will help us in Germany
in the necessary change of our academic system with their experience from
this country."

A program to assist economically disadvantaged youngsters in
obtaining a college education will begin in June at State University of New
York at Albany.
ea entitled "The College Opportunity Program", calls for the
recruitment of approximately 30 students each year for a four-year period,
Students selected will be required to attend a unique, non-credit ten-week
summer session, where they will be oriented to college life, They will take
special English and mathematics courses designed to prepare them for academic
activities they will face as freshmen in the fall. Students will receive
financial assistance, personal counseling, and extensive tutoring to help ‘close
academic gaps which may restrict future classroom success.
According to the plan described by Dr. Webb S, Fiser, vice president
for academic affairs at the university, at least two criteria must be met by
prospective students: They must qualify for maximum financial assistance,
and the students' secondary educational backgrounds must fall below current
admission standards for incoming freshmen. However, they must possess the
intellectual capacity and the desire to completer-with special guidance~-a
regular undergraduate degree program at State University at Albany. The latter
qualification will be determined largely by personal interviews.
To inform and recruit students, the university will enlist the aid
of ischools and civic groups. University staff members also will recruit potential
students for the program by canvassing low-income neighborhoods.
University officials agree that the plan is a response to a nationwide
call for American higher education to provide academic opportunities for low-
income students. The program will be directed by Robert Shostak, assistant
professor of education at the university.
Additional information is available from the College Opportunity
Program, education building, B 12, at the university, 1400 Washington Ave.,

An exhibition of seventeen new works by artist William H. Wilson
will be shown in the art gallery of State University of New York at Albany
beginning Monday, April 1. On exhibit will be sixteen oil paintings and
a leather relief construction done by the artist within the past year, all
on the theme of "Women."
Wilson, an associate professor of art at the university, was
educated at William & Mary College and the Cranbrook Academy of Art in
Bloomfield Hills, Mich., from which he received his master of arts degree.
He has exhibited in ten one-man shows, including one in Mexico City, and
his most recent one, last year at the university. He has won numerous
prizes in regional shows, including a $500 purchase prize last year at the
Berkshire Museum én Pittsfield and his works are part of the collections
of the Schenectady Musuem, the Albany Institute of History and Art, and
Berkshire Community College.
Now moving in new directions, Wilson desires, in his own words,
“to contrast the aspect of movement in some paintings with the stability of
other paintings in the show." The titles of his new paintings have to do
with water. He forms a connection between the women-water themes, and
explores their various moods.
In addition to Wilson's paintings there will be on exhibit over
100 art works from the 3lst Annual Exhibit of the Artists of Central New
York, This is the first time the show will appear outside of the Munson-
Williams-Proctor Institute in Utica. In it will be paintings, sculpture,
graphic arts, and drawings.
