William N, Fenton, research professor of anthropology at State University
of New York at Albany, edited "Parker on the Iroquois," to be published Monday,
November 4, by Syracuse University Press. The three monographs were written
during the 1920's by Arthur C, Parker, anthropologist and museum curator, and
published originally as bulletins by the New York State Museum.
In his introduction, Professor Fenton describes Parker's professional career
as an ethnologist, provides information on Parker's Indian background--he was
probably one-fourth Seneca--and gives his own critical interpretation of the value
of Parker's works.
Parker's contributions to Iroquois studies are of fundamental importance,
according to Professor Fenton, His 'Iroquois Uses of Maize'' has remained one of
the pioneer studies of the subsistence of American Indian societies, He described
the social and eating customs attending the maize cycle, and gave many illustrations
of the manufacture and use of objects of material culture--baskets, ladles, elm
bark trays, and dishes. Professor Fenton has selected some contemporary Indian
recipes, such as roasted corn soup, to accompany the monograph.
Professor Fenton received the Peter Doctor Award of the Seneca Nation and
the Cornplanter Medal for Iroquois Research. From 1954 to 1968 he was assistant
commissioner for the New York State Museum and Science Service. As a member
of the Permanent Council of the International Union of Anthropological and
Ethnological Sciences, he has traveled to Vienna, Prague, and London. He

the Orient. She traveled to Tokyo and to Hong Kong as a participant in the
Erie-Monroe Medical Society trip to study health problems,
Dr. Hood visited student health facilities at the University of Tokyo
and concerned herself particularly with drug usage and resulting problems,
She reports that at the Tokyo institution it was not enough of a problem among
the student population to have a written policy on the matter,
In Hong Kong, where Dr. Hood spoke to physicians and students, she learned
that while a small number of youthful drug users may exist, they are not
college students. The Albany physician was advised that the common view is
that education is a great privilege and that there is no place for non-productive
people in Hong Kong.

"The Future of High Energy Physics,'' a film produced by the Center for
Educational Communication at State University of New York at Albany, has been
completed. Based on excerpts from a New York State American Physical Society
symposium held at State University of New York at Stony Brook, the production
was arranged by the society and sponsored by the National Science Foundation,
In the film a group of experts in theoretical and experimental high energy
physics, including Courant, Dresden, Goldhaber, Good, Grannis, Lindenbaum,
Ne'eman, Toll, and Weisskopf, discuss the status of current research, challenges
to be met if progress is to continue, and interactions between high energy physics
and society at large. Without attempting to provide a complete picture of high
energy physics, the work makes contact with a broad set of techniques and
ideas considered representative of the field.
The purpose of the film has been described as that of capturing the flavor of
research and suggesting the need for continuing support. The objective of the
NSF $53, 000 grant was to produce films of several lectures to be made available
for graduate and undergraduate instruction, educational television, and groups
who might use them for instructional purposes including industrial research groups.
Ten films were made from the 1967 APS symposia, One symposium, held
at the Xerox laboratories‘near Rochester, concerned interaction of light with
matter. The second symposium, held at Stony Brook, was about elementary

Coordinating plans for the films was Milan D. Fiske, of the General
Electric Research and Development Center and a member of the New York State
Section, American Physical Society. Carl Howard, head of the Albany
university center's film department, produced the films which are being
distributed now throughout the country. They are available on request.

Bearden and paintings by Donald Cole will be shown on the first floor of the
Gallery.

Scientists at the State University of New York at Albany and Albany
Medical College will collaborate on a research project designed to perfect a
test which will detect and assess impairment in human subjects exposed to air
containing low concentrations of carbon monoxide,
The project is supported by a $46, 000 contract between the Medical
College and the National Air Pollution Control Administration,
The principal investigator in the project is Dr, Paul C, Boomsliter,
professor of speech and head of the program in speech pathology and audiology
at SUNYA and a research associate professor at Albany Medical College.
Dr. Robert E, Carroll, acting chairman of the department of preventive
and community medicine, is the project director.
Working at the medical college, Dr. Boomsliter will explore refinement
of the Boomsliter-Creel Test for Tonal Perception. The test is an outgrowth
of long-term research on the part of Dr, Boomsliter and Warren Creel,
research technician in the department of surgery at Albany Medical College.
The ability to hear tonality in sound is associated with brain stem
circulation, thus the Boomsliter-Creel Test offers a means of decting and
quantitating an important functional consequence (poor tonal perception) of
reduced brain stem oxygenation,

The researchers plan to modify their test so that it will enable them
to study the mild oxygen deficiency that results from exposure to air polluted
with low concentrations of carbon monoxide, The ultimate goal is establishment
of air quality criteria for carbon monoxide,
The Boomsliter-Creel Test's applicability to patients undergoing
surgery for improved brain stem circulation is discussed by Dr. Boomsliter,
Mr. Creel and Dr. Samuel R. Powers, Jr., professor of surgery at Albany

Joseph L. Norton, professor of education at State University of New
York at Albany, served as educational collaborator in the preparation of the
' which has
script for the film, ''Everyday Courage and Common Sense, '
been released by Coronet Instructional Films, Chicago. The production
was prepared for use in intermediate grades.
Professor Norton, who also assisted with the teacher's guide
accompanying the film, said that intermediate aged pupils are reminded in
a variety of situations of the many goals in life which require degrees of
courage, tempered by common sense. In addition to those times when
physical courage is required, there are many instances where courage also
is needed in less obvious, everyday situations where social acceptance,
personal esteem, morals and personal values are at stake. He added that
the film makes the point that courage is developed bit by bit under stress.
The general objectives of the film include defining courage, pointing
out that physical courage is only one kind of courage, and that everyday courage
is important even though it may not seem exciting, showing that it often
takes courage to try new things and to be different from one's group, and
demonstrating that courage can often be nurtured,
Professor Norton, whose field is guidance, joined the SUNYA faculty in
1963. Currently he is serving as vice president for professional committees of
the New York State Personnel and Guidance Association. His articles have
appeared in numerous professional publications.

William P. Brown, professor of criminal justice at State University of New
York at Albany, outlined plans for the formation of an Albany county unit of the
National Council on Crime and Delinquency at a luncheon meeting held this week on
the university campus with a group of interested citizens in attendance. The session
was an outgrowth of a conference held in the spring by the New York State Council on
Crime and Delinquency and the Women's Unit of the Office of the Secretary to the
Governor and co-sponsored with the university's College of General Studies.
In speaking of the intent of the temporary committee, Professor Brown,
a member of the university's School of Criminal Justice, noted that its field of
interest is in the study of crime and the administration of criminal justice in or
affecting Albany county. He added that the committee, which hopes to form a
more permanent organization at its next meeting on January 17, is concerned with
problems such as crime, juvenile delinquency, justice, order, rehabilitation,
and prevention, and is concerned also with agencies that carry out society's
mandate in those areas.
Professor Brown said that two premises underscore participation in the
activity. One is that police, prevention specialists, courts, and criminal agencies
"need more help." He continued, "the fight against crime is everybody's business."
Secondly, Professor Brown noted that "even the best intentioned and most capable
professionals in the administration of justice deal with only asmall fraction of
