TWO NEW EXHIBITS AT SUNYA ART GALLERY
Two new exhibitions will open the spring semester
schedule at the Art Gallery at State University of New York
at Albany Monday, Jan. 14, continuing through Thursday,
Feb. 14.
"Tight and Loose" is an exhibit structured to
bring out the obvious pleasure artists take in various
drawing media. "Drawing has not received proper attention
for years", according to Donald Cole, a New York artist
who organized the exhibition, "...and yet, a good many
serious artists are deeply committed to drawing."
Twenty artists will be represented in "Tight and
Loose" and, although distinctions between figurative and
abstract work can be made in viewing the show, the execution
of the work and the intentions of the artists seem its most
important aspects.
The second exhibition, also organized by Mr. Cole,
is titled "Fantastics and Eccentrics". Cole, who has seen
art movements come and go with rapidity in the past several
years, has become increasingly interested in "a number of
relatively isolated artists who have deep emotional com-
mitments to the development of a personal vision". The

TWO NEW EXHIBITS AT SUNYA ART GALLERY Page 2
coming exhibit focuses on a group of those artists who
have sacrificed recognition by the art establishment to
concentrate on the fascinating and neglected idea of "vision"
in contemporary American art. According to Mr. Cole, the
artists were drawn to his title, "Fantastics and Eccentrics",
because they felt it was “an appropriate descriptive ‘epithet’
for their work as well as a comment on their relation to the
art world".
Four pieces by each of 10 artists will be shown in
order to give an idea of their ranges and uniqueness. The
works are paintings, drawings, unstretched wall pieces,
and floor pieces.
The gallery is open to the public from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
on Saturday and Sunday.

BURIAN ADAPTATION OF "ANTIGONE" TO OPEN FEB. 6
Casting for the State University Theatre production of
"Antigone" has been announced by Jarka M. Burian, chairman of
the department of theatre and director of the play. In the
all-student cast the role of Antigone will be played by Vicki
Kichman; Creon, by Joseph Ritter; Oedipus, by Timothy Johnson;
Ismene, by Patricia Pinney; and Jocasta, by Marci Perres. Chorus
members and other roles will be played by Joyce Farra, Helena
Geberer, Celeste Pettijohn, Gerald Faber, Jonathan Kohn and
Grant Van Dyck.
Settings are being designed by Donald Mochon of the
art department, and costumes, by Jane Morgan of the theatre
department. Debbie Zusman is stage manager.
The production, set for Feb. 6-10 in the Performing Arts
Center, employs a script based on the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles,
and Euripides, each of whom wrote one or more plays dealing with
the house of Thebes. Five of their plays focus on the dramatic
action involving Oedipus and Antigone. In chronological order,
according to the events they present, they are "Oedipus"
(Sophocles), "Oedipus at Colonus" (Sophocles), "Seven Against
Thebes" (Aeschylus), "The Phoenician Women" (Euripides), and
"Antigone" (Sophocles).
The new text, or adaptation, is an integrated regrouping
of significant sections of the five Greek plays. The spine of,

BURIAN ADAPTATION OF "ANTIGONE" TO OPEN FEB. 6 Page 2
the adaptation is drawn from Sophocles' "Antigone" but it has
been rearranged and interrupted at numerous points to bring in
sections from the other four plays. The resulting montage provides
a fresh look at the background and ramifications of the Oedipus-
Antigone legend, one of the most celebrated of antiquity. The
adaptation was made by Professor Burian.
The form of presentation will be a.staged reading, that is
a performance based on a script-in-hand convention, but also
employing certain scenic effects and costuming, a limited but
deliberate pattern of movement, and thorough rehearsal. The
dramatic action is presented with a certain detachment and formality.
Receiving primary attention is the text, with limited reinforcement
from the "mise en scene". Dramatic interest, variety, and intensity
are channeled and shaped according to a different artistic con-
vention, one that lends itself to the montage-like script.

SUNYA LIBRARY SCHOOL STUDENTS COMPILING AREA SERVICE INFORMATION
There are more than 3,000 organizations in the
Capital District which provide information, social services,
or community facilities to the public, according to an in-
formal survey made by a group of graduate students at State
University of New York at Albany.
The students, enrolled at the university's School of
Library and Information Science, have discovered that there
is no listing of what organizations offer what kinds of
information or services and they have launched a project to
do something about it. The plan is to compile and publish,
as a non-profit venture, a description of the activities of
as many of the four-county area's information or service
organizations as they can contact. More than a thousand
questionnaires already have been mailed.
The students can be reached by organizations or groups
wishing to be included by telephoning Janice Sacco, secretary
in the school's office, 457-8575. Coordinating the effort is
Michael O'Connor, graduate student.
The deadline for receiving information is Feb. 15. The
publication is expected to be available in August, hopefully
at a nominal charge.

FAMED CANADIAN FILM TO BE SHOWN AT SUNYA
Claude Jutra's "My Uncle Antoine", the most honored
Canadian film ever made, will be shown at eight different
times on the State University of New York at Albany campus
beginning Friday, Feb. 1, at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of
the Performing Arts Center. It is being offered by the Office
of University Affairs.
The motion picture is the story of a young boy coming
of age in the Canadian backwoods country today, although there
is a seeming universality in its placement in time. Critic
Pauline Kael has called "My Uncle Antoine" a film of "love
and intelligence ... beautiful enough to be compared to the
finest work ever done in the medium." The dialogue, in French,
is accompanied by English subtitles.
Area premiere performances will be Friday and Saturday
evenings, Feb. 1 and 2, and Feb. 8 and 9, at 8 p.m. and at
10 p.m. Limited tickets at $2, general admission, and $1.25
with student tax, are available in advance at the PAC box office.

STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ALBANY TO HOST
INTERNATIONAL EDISON BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
State University of New York at Albany will be host to junior
and senior high school science students and their teachers from around
the world, across the United States, and the Capital District, as they
meet at the university for the 18th International Edison Birthday
Celebration, February 11 through 13. The event is jointly sponsored by
the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation of Detroit and the General Electric
Company.
The 400 students and teachers attending the Edison Birthday
Celebration will spend three days in morning seminars on campus led by
internationally known scientists, engineers, and educators. Among the
speakers will be Dr. George Beadle, professor at the University of
Chicago, winner of the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine for his
research on the chemistry of genes. Dr. Beadle's research was concerned
with the manner in which genes act by regulating chemical events.
Other noteworthy speakers include Dr. Frederick Dainton of
London, Dr. Derek de Solla Price, Yale University; Dr. John Craven,
University of Hawaii; Dr. Tung H. Jeong, Lake Forest College, and Dr.
Thomas Paine, General Electric Company.
In the afternoon, the students will be the guests of area
industries and laboratories for tours and the opportunity to meet with
members of the scientific, engineering and professional community and
discuss their work. Such visits do much to encourage youth towards

similar careers and may correct any misunderstandings on the part
of the young would-be scientist about the specific discipline he may
find of interest.
"The university is honored to serve in the distinguished line
of hosts for the Edison Birthday Celebration," said Louis T. Benezet,
President of State University of New York at Albany. "Such a program,"
he continued, "brings together young people from around the world to
acquaint them with scientific and engineering careers in industry. The
opportunity to hear and talk with such an array of speakers who will be
taking part in the campus program is a credit to the university and
the Capital District. We are grateful to the Thomas A. Edison Foundation
for sponsoring this event."
Chairman of the event is Dr. Arthur M. Beuche, vice president of
research and development, General Electric Company. The basic aim of
the program he said is to encourage closer cooperation between industry
and education.
Dr. Beuche said that while the celebration in the past has been
held in such cities as Tapiei, Formosa; Melbourne, Australia; Venice,
Italy; Seoul, South Korea; Los Angeles and Boston, the facilities
offered by State University of New York at Albany are outstanding for this
type of program. Another major factor Dr. Beuche pointed out, is that
the Capital District has one of the largest concentrations of scientists
and engineers in the world, working in a number of major laboratories
and industries.
The International Edison Birthday Celebration is held each year
on the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Edison. This year marks the
127th anniversary of his birthday.

GLADIATORS SUBJECT OF SUNYA LECTURE
Russell T. Scott, a professor at Bryn Mawr College,
will give an Archaeological Institute of America lecture,
Tuesday, Feb. 12, at State University of New York at Albany.
The program will begin at 8 p.m. in Humanities 354. The
public is invited without charge.
Professor Scott's topic will be "Gladiators". Pro-
gram notes indicate that, while gladiatorial contests are
commonly thought to be the most disfiguring scar on Roman
civilization, consideration of the available literary and
archaeological evidence about them, their purpose, and the
participants, points to the conclusion that the games are not
an aberrant aspect of Roman culture and should be understood
in terms of the latter.

leading young stage designers, Robin Wagner, on Monday,
Feb. 11, at 8 p.m. in the Studio Theatre of the university's

"Sgt. Pepper" and "Abbey Road."
The designer began his career on the West Coast,
working with the Golden Gate Opera Workshop, the Actors
Workshop, and the San Francisco Ballet. He was subsequently
resident designer at Washington's Arena Theatre for three
years in the mid-sixties when he began to work in New York
as well. For Lincoln Center he designed productions of
"Galileo" and "The Condemned of Altona" in the Vivian Beaumont
Theatre. In 1972 he also designed "Antony and Cleopatra"
for the American Shakespeare Festival.

SECRETARIAL ADMINISTRATIONS, SYSTEMS TO BE OFFERED
AS SUNYA SECOND FIELDS
The department of business education in the School
of Education at State University of New York at Albany has
announced that second field sequences in secretarial admin-
istration and in systems administration have been approved
and registered through the office of undergraduate studies.
B. Bertha Wakin, department chairman, said the sequences
were developed as a result of a recognized need by depart-
ment members and in response to requests from students de-
siring to combine organized study in a specialized skill
area with a major in either arts or sciences.
Secretarial administration includes such courses
as shorthand, typewriting, and secretarial administration.
It is designed for the student who may be interested in
administrative secretarial postions in highly specialized
fields such as legal, medical or technical areas, or in
community-related positions in service, religious, or edu-
cational organizations. Additional examples of the many
opportunities available include bilingual secretarial careers
as well as positions of a more general nature in business
offices.
Systems administration could complement interest in
a variety of careers where voluminous data banks and data

processing are used, such as in education, industry, law,
library science, medicine, and public administration. Students
anticipating graduate study involving compilation and analysis
of research data could also find knowledge in that area a
valuable tool. Suggested courses in the sequence include those
in data processing, office administration, and office systems
and procedures.
A more detailed description of the sequences and
suggested courses soon will be distributed through University
College to advisers and associates. The faculty of the
department of business education is welcoming students' and
advisers' inquiries concerning the new second fields. Possible
career opportunities where these are combined with a specific
major area can be discussed.
