Eighty books have been selected for the annual 1969 Book Shows
of the American Institute of Graphic Arts and the Association of American
University Presses to go on display in the University Library, State Uni-

The faculty of the School of Library Science at State University of New York
at Albany is studying the possibility of reforming the ''core" or ''foundation"
curriculum, Asa first step, 25 beginning full-time students and five faculty
members are spending the semester in a 12-credit hour "unprogrammed program,"
Students will receive credit for the conventional core courses, but they are free
to explore, and define, the ''foundations'' of librarianship in their own way, individually,
in small groups, or as a whole class, There is no mandated sequence of subjects, list
of required topics, or approved model of librarianship. Faculty members have no
exclusive areas of instruction for which they are responsible.
One purpose of the new program is to provide an opportunity for generating new
approaches to the perennial problem of the core courses. Another is to suggest the
possibility of constructing a beginning program that would be flexible enough to allow
a student to tailor his first semester to suit his own needs or his understanding of
those needs at any given time.
When the deadline arrives for making final decisions on how to re-structure the
core curriculum, the faculty expects that the experience of the experimental "pilot
program" may have generated more alternatives than the usual three: keep the already
required core courses, replace them with new required courses,or do away with all
core requirements.

A new three-credit course, nonviolent conflict resolution forum, will be
offered next semester at State University of New York at Albany. The class will
be limited to 40 students,
The proposal was approved recently by the College of Arts and Sciences
committee for independent study. Martha Dickinson, research associate in the
physics department, is course coordinator,
Active in preparations for the forum are several faculty members who have
been participating in the SUNYA Peace Institute. The aim of the course is to seek
peaceful and just resolutions of conflict at a time when the increasing rapidity of
social and technological change seems to make conflict inevitable.
The areas of concern range from minority repression, police brutality,
terrorist activity and violence described as arising from social and governmental
institutions to international conflicts which have resulted in wars and threats of
nuclear annhilation. Connections will be sought between domestic and international
violence.
Resource people who will participate in the forum include Hans Toch, School of
Criminal Justice; Eugene Rabinowitch, Center for Science and Society; Leroy Pelton,
psychology; and Richard Brown, physics. About 15 faculty members will participate
and will guide independent study.
The 14-week course has been divided into three sections, Violence at home and
abroad today will be the subject of the first four weeks. There will be an identification
of conflicts, finding of apparent causes, and measurement of urgency. Outside read-

ings will be assigned and, at the end of the section, students individually or in
small groups, will select a problem to pursue under the guidance of the resource
faculty and/or the coordinator. By the end of the course, each student will have
prepared a paper presenting a nonviolent resolution of a particular problem.
Perspective from the disciplines will be the theme of the next session which
will last six weeks, Defined problems will be viewed in the light of philosophy,
science, history, psychology, and economics, among other disciplines. In addition
to the class meeting, students and faculty will meet in small groups concerned with
a specific problem.
The concluding session of four weeks will be concerned with violence at home
and abroad today, revisited. Problems will be reviewed and just and peaceful
solutions proposed and examined. Student papers will be presented during the
concluding session,

An estimated 350 students at State University of New York at Albany this
semester are taking advantage of an opportunity to receive academic credit for
community involvement. Guidelines approved by the faculty in September allow
students to earn from one to 15 credits for independent study or "special projects
involving community activity and collateral study."
Students interested in becoming involved in the community work primarily
through the university's Office of Innovative and Developmental Programs. There
they are put in touch with one of 53 participating agencies, with whom they arrange
the kind of work they will be doing and the hours they will be available. The number
of hours they devote a project depends on the amount of credit for which they
have registered.
In addition, many projects include evaluation through oral reports based on the
student's experience. Melvin Urofsky, assistant dean for innovative and develop-
mental programs, is supervising the program this semester,
Students currently are involved in such areas as tutoring neighborhood youngsters,
working with members of the Albany Association of the Blind, giving assistance at the
Albany Medical Center, and doing research on legal problems. The participating
agencies encompass a wide range of social concerns such as youth groups, agencies
for the sick and handicapped, organizations devoted to neighborhood improvement,
church affiliates, and associations such as the Consumers Complaint Bureau and
the League of Women Voters.
In seeking a favorable vote from the faculty in September, the undergraduate
and graduate academic councils offered the following rationale for the program:

State University of New York at Albany Community Involvement (2)
"In a time when many students feel discouraged, such a program will enable them
to gain an earlier challenge in the arena of social issues, The university --
especially its students -- and our society should profit from this innovative
approach to social and educational needs."
The program has had an appeal far beyond that originally expected, In the
first four days of the new university community action program, 350 students had
become affiliated with service agencies in a volunteer capacity. Most are sophomores,
juniors and seniors,
Early estimates indicate that some 700 students will join the program next
semester.

Danes Host Hudson Valley Saturday
Smarting. from three decisive road losses, the State University at Albany football
club returns to the scene of its early-season success Saturday, November 14, as host
to Hudson Valley Community College. Kick-off is 1 p.m. The game will be the season
finale for both teams.
The Great Danes have lost at Towson (69-14), Marist (45-6), and Plattsburgh (28-0),
after opening the season with home victories over RIT (30-21) and Siena (25-24). Both the
offense and defense have contributed to the decline with inconsistent play. Albany has
managed just 20 points in three games and one touchdown was scored by the defense. Against
Plattsburgh, the defense permitted four long TD's for a total of 199 yards, more than half
of Plattsburgh's rushing yardage for the entire game. In an effort to beef up the attack,
coach Bob Ford plans to start freshman quarterback Rick Petty (New York) against Hudson
Valley. Since a broken hand sidelined Bill Flanagan (Bethpage), the Danes have been hurt-
ing at quarterback and have been unable to mount an attack. Although Petty is inexperienced,
he has shown some passing ability and Ford believes Albany must throw against HVCC to
stay in the game.
Joining Petty in the backfield will be tailback Bernie Boggs (Ballston Lake), full-
back Jim Butler (Newburgh), and flanker Cleveland Little (Jamaica). Ernie Thomas (Rochester),
formerly a flanker, has been moved to split end and Ed Perka (Ballston Lake) remains at
tight end. Boggs continues to lead the team in rushing (460 yards, 5.8 average) and scoring
(43 points). The passing attack has produced just 360 yards in five games, but the Danes
will be throwing plenty Saturday.
Hudson Valley comes in with a 4-3-1 record and just missed a major upset in its last
outing. The Vikings: lost on a field goal with 4:35 to play against Grand Rapids (Mich.)
Community College, fourth-ranked junior college in the country. Other losses have been
to Baltimore and Nassau community colleges, both among the best in the East.

Quarterback George Patrick, who has passed for more than 1300 yards and 10 touch-
downs, leads a potent offense. Running backs Ernie Skipper and Andy DiSanti are
averaging 5.2 and 4.2 yards per carry, respectively. DiSanti has scored 89 points.
The Vikings are an excellent defensive team and especially tough against the ;
run. Coach Joe Purello called his team's performance against Grand Rapids "magnificent"
and expects it to vent its frustrations against Albany. Ford agrees that Albany will
have to be "sky-high" to avoid a punishing afternoon.

Albany Soccer Team Finishes 3-8-1
The State University at Albany soccer team defeated Union College 4-0 in the
season finale, but suffered its fourth straight losing year with a 3-8-1 record. The
Great Danes began and ended the season well, but went eight consecutive games
without victory in between,
Senior Demetrios Michael (Kingston) led the team in scoring for the second year
in a row, compiling nine goals and four assists for 13 points. Junior transfer Fred
Campbell (Watervliet) was next in production with 6-4-10, No one else managed more
than three goals or four points. Michael, who tallied eight times last fall, thus becomes
the fifth leading scorer in Albany history with 17 career goals.
Sophomore goalie John Thayer ( Averill Park) turned in a solid performance in the
nets, shutting out two opponents and keeping several other games close, Herecorded
175 saves.
Albany won two of its first three games, then hit a serious scoring drought during
which it scored just five goals in six games, all losses. The team revived in the last
three contests, dropping a 6-4 overtime thriller to tough RPI; tying RIT 3-3; and blanking
Union, The Danes scored 11 goals in those three games and just 12 in the previous nine.
During the slump, several negative school records were set: New Paltz' 9-2
romp tied Albany worst loss (seven goals) and broke the mark for goals allowed; the
eight losses are the most in one season; the seven straight defeats are a record; and
the eight games without a win (including one tie) equals a record.

Campus Chest Week begins Monday, Nov. 16, at State University of New York
at Albany. Booster sales, a play, and an auction are among events scheduled to raise
money for the benefit of Hope House, a drug rehabilitation center in downtown Albany.
Hope House is a voluntary organization concentrating on group therapy where people
talk about their problems and help each other work out solutions. The center is located
on South Pearl Street.
Sale of booster buttons will take place in the Campus Center Lobby through Friday
between 10 a.m, and 2 p.m. Boosters will be entitled to free coffee all week and will
be eligible for door prizes and the grand prize, a bicycle, to be awarded at the end of
the week.
"Ray of Hope," a play presented by members of Hope House, will be given on
Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the Campus Center ballroom. A minimum donation of 50¢
will be asked.
During the week, Campus Chest representatives on each residence quadrangle will
be going from door to door collecting anything salable except clothes, The quads will be
in competition with each other and a prize will be awarded to the quad contributing the
most. On Saturday at noon in the Campus Center Assembly Hall, the collected items
will be auctioned off to the highest bidders. Door prizes will be awarded during that time.
Co-chairman for the event are Elizabeth Elsesser and Mary Mazzeo. They have
asked that donations be sent in care of ''Campus Chest" to the Student Association
Office, Room 346, in the Campus Center,
In the past, the Campus Chest drive usually has been for the benefit of two or more
charities. However, the amount actually realized by any one group has been small, and
this year it was decided that the drive would concentrate on one charity and try to make
a substantial contribution to it.

8:30 in the Campus Center Ballroom under the sponsorship of the university
students' Forum of Politics, Dr. Schlesinger, now Albert Schweitzer Professor
of the Humanities at the City University of New York, will speak on "Illusion and
Reality in Foreign Affairs."
As special assistant to President Kennedy, Dr. Schlesinger travelled

political and social problems, was published in 1949. ''The General and The President,"
an analysis of American foreign policy in terms of the issues raised by President
Truman's dismissal of General MacArthur and written in collaboration with
Richard Rovere, was issued in 1951,

A discovery made at the photomicrographic laboratory at state University of
New York at Albany is the subject of an invited paper presented by Roger J. Cheng
at the National Cloud Physics Conference held at Fort Collins, Colo,, under the
auspices of the American Meteorological Society and Colorado State University.
Mr. Cheng is research associate at the university's Atmospheric Sciences Research
Center.
Employing cinephotomicrographic techniques, Mr.Cheng was able to produce a
light micrograph while freezing a supercooled water drop, The fragmentation of a
freezing drop in the forms of splintering, shattering or bursting has been known for
some time, The newly-discovered phenomenon is ejection of numerous micro-droplets,
Further study showed that the micro-droplets ejected were of a positive electrical
charge, whereas the mother drop was of a negative charge. The phenomenon of
ejection of micro-droplets, the duration of their ejection, and the electrical proper-
ties of the droplets suggest a possible mechanism of change generation in thunderstorms.
The photograph showing the ejection of micro-droplets by freezing a supercooled
water drop this year was awarded first prize in the category of the light micrograph
at the International Conference on Microscopy held in Chicago. The criteria for the
award were scientific value and content, technical excellence, and aesthetics.
Mr, Cheng joined the faculty at SUNYA in 1967. His laboratory assistants
are Edward Potskowski and Barry Eckert.

Rev. Anthony Rocha, director of the newly-established Institute of the Aging in
the College of General Studies at State University of New York at Albany, has been
participating in a series of regional meetings concerned with planning for the proposed
1971 White House Conference on the Aging. The new institute at SUNYA, which the
Reverend Father Rocha heads, is concerned with the many phases of aging, with
emphasis on gerontology.
Before coming to the Albany university, Father Rocha was serving as‘a Roman
Catholic priest in the diocese of Fall River, Mass, There he founded the philosophy
of senior citizen power. He has held positions as gerontologist and health services
administrator and at SUNYA he has an appointment as professor of continuing education,
Father Rocha holds degrees in theology from the University of Lisbon, Portugal, and
the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. He also has a Master of Science in
hygiene and health administration from Harvard University and a certificate in
gerontology from Boston University. He was ordained a priest in 1959,
The newly-named director has served as consultant to numerous federal, state, and
local agencies, His publications include ''Senior Citizen Power, '' Northwestern Uni-
{| versity; ''Smithtown, U.S. A.,'"' Harvard University; and "Kerner Kernel, '' White House.
Father Rocha's plans for the Institute of the Aging include seminars and workshops,
j starting in September 1971, Also being assessed is the possibility of degree programs
starting in 1972 and a doctoral program by 1975.
The new institute's director points to the value of a multi-disciplinary approach in
developing gerontological insights and to the need by public and private agencies for
' persons who are generalists in gerontology.

continue the remainder of the week, Reserved seat tickets are $2 or $1 with student
tax card, Preview performances will be held Monday and Tuesday, Dec, 7 and 8, at
8:30 for a limited general admission audience at $1 and 50¢ with tax card.
The competition aspect of the production is an added challenge for the technical
designers, Mildred Koob, costumes, Robert Donnelly, scenic design and Jerome
Hanley, lighting, because the festival rules place certain limitations upon them. The
entire company with costumes and set must be able to travel to the regional contest,
and perhaps to the final Washington competition. The John F. Kennedy Center for
the Performing Arts and the Smithsonian Institution will be hosting the festival, with
American Airlines, in Washington,
One hundred sixty five plays from campuses across the country are entered, The
competition is presented by the American Educational Theatre Association and the
American National Theatre and Academy and sponsored by American Airlines. Each
entry must be judged twice, first regionally and then finally in Washington against the
other 13 regional finalists, The preliminary judging in Region XII (New York, New
Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania) will be done by Arthur Lithgow, the executive
director of Princeton's McCarter Repertory Company. From the region's 18 entries
he will select three or four to compete in the semi-finals at Lycoming College in
Williamsport, Pa., in January. One production will be chosen there to represent
Region XII for aweek in Washington and to compete against the other region finalists.

Deep Danes Host Williams in Tuesday Opener
The 55th season of basketball at State University at Albany opens Tuesday night,
Dec. 1, when the Great Danes host Williams College at 8:30. The schools' freshman
teams will play the 6:30 preliminary.
Last year, Albany won a 72-71 overtime thriller at Williams, when Alan Reid
hit a pair of jump shots to erase a three-point deficit. The Danes went on to a 13-9
campaign, while the Ephmen suffered their second straight losing season at 6-11,
Veteran Albany coach Dick Sauers, in his 16th year, has four starters back and more
depth than in recent seasons. Al Shaw is starting his 22nd year at Williams with only
one senior, but eight sophomores up from an outstanding 12-1 freshman team, Sauers
also has four talented sophs from a 13-5 frosh squad.
The returning Albany regulars; co-captain forwards 6-0 Jack Jordan (Green
Island) and 6-2 Reid (Binghamton), 6-2 Steve Sheehan (Fort Edward), and 6-1 guard
Jim Masterson (Albany), all seniors, will be joined in the starting line-up Tuesday by
transfer guard 6-0 John Quattrocchi (Fort Edward), from the University of Connecticut.
Jordan scored 25 against Williams a year ago and Reid added 18.
Sauers figures to go his deep bench early and often with such available talent as
sophomores 6-4 Werner Kolin (Kingston), 6-2 Dave Welchons (New Hartford), and
5-10 Tim Minnehan( Livonia), and juniors 6-1 John Heher (Elmira) and 6-0 Bob Rossi
(Schenectady), The Danes havemore speed, more size, and better shooting than
last season,
Williams will have a height advantage with 6-5 senior captain John Untereker

heading the list. He scored 21 against Albany last year and finished with a 17,0
scoring average. Six-two junior Dave Creen and 6-3 soph Steve Creahan are
vying for the other forward position. The center will be a soph, either 6-5 Hoyt
Cousins or 6-3 Dick Small. In the backcourt will be 5-10 junior Vern Manley and
6-2 soph Greg Williams, who led the freshmen with a 17.3 average.
The Albany-Williams series stands at 3-3. The teams first met in 1917, but
didn't play from 1924 until 1967.
The Danes take to the road after Tuesday, playing at Stony Brook on Friday,
Plattsburgh December 9, and Binghamton December 12. Stony Brook and Plattsburgh
defeated Albany last season, while Binghamton returns to the schedule after a year's
absence,
