Background: State University of New York at Albany's Alumni House-Conference
Center is now under construction on the campus. The three component solar
energy system, capable of heating and cooling, is receiving support and
research from the university's Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, Niagara
Mohawk Power Corporation, and the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation.
Commenting on the project Paul G. Bulger, national Chairman of the Alumni
Annual Fund which raised the $200,000 to build the Alumni House-Conference
Center, said, "I am delighted for the Alumni Association and the spirit they
have shown during these years of fund raising which has made the Alumni House
a reality and in turn has made it possible for a research and development
project of such monumental significance to be a part of the university and the
Alumni !'ouse."

the system is composed of solar collectors, filled with fluid which will
absorb the heat from the sun. The collectors will be located on the roof of
the building. The fluid will then be transferred into insulated 8,000 gallon
storage tanks within the building and a heat pump will extract the warmth from
the fluid and pump it into the forced air system in the structure.
Provisions have been made in the plans to allow the storage tanks to serve
as repository for chilled water for air conditioning.
A supplementary back-up system using immersion coils located in the
storage tanks can be heated electrically and the warmth circulated by the
heat pump in the eventuality of a prolonged cold period. It is expected that
even during the coldest months of the year the solar heating system will be
used to provide 50% of the total heating requirements.
"This project," said Thomas J. Brosnan, vice president of research and
development on environmental matters for Niagara Mohawk, "will enable us
to make continuing studies of methods of taking energy from the sun and storing
it for both supplementary heating and cooling." "Ideally," he continued,
"the program will show us how solar energy could be applied to lower the need
for electricity during seasonal hot and cold spells when the demand for
electricity is greatest. By combining solar facilities with a modern, efficient
heat pump we will have an opportunity to develop the most effective methods
of controlling temperatures within buildings. I should stress, however, that
all this depends on cooperation from the sun itself. For instance, on a
cold winter day, with the sun shining, we will determine how much a solar
heating setup compared with conventional heating equipment in a sumilar building
would reduce kilowatt hour usage and ease electrical demand."
Brosnan stated that Niagara Mohawk enginners will work closely with
architects and builders throughout the design, construction, and operation
-continued-

of the solar plant. He also stated that the project will give Niagara Mohawk
the unique opportunity for trial installation of new solar energy equipment
and new types of heat pumps when they are developed.
Once the unit is installed in the 6,300 square foot, two-story building,
the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, working with the Department of
Environmental Conservation, will be conducting an evaluation of the system.
"Our interests" said Ronald Stewart, assistant director of ASRC, "in the
project are based upon the energy crisis, not only in this country, but other
countries, and upon the proper use of the environment and the economy of New
York State.
"This project is a way of working to improve the energy situation for
the state, that is compatible with the environment and showing that the system
will not hurt the economy of the state, but will help it."
"Once the prototype is in place," he continued, "we will conduct physical
tests on the capability of the system, the economic feasibility of the system
for homes and industry, and the economic competitiveness of the system."
"We hope to use the system to show students, our staff, and the staffs of
industries the benefits of solar energy and even train technicians and research
personnel so improvements can be made on the prototype."
By using ASRC's weather forecasting capabilities the operators hope
to determine the building's power needs ahead of time.
President Louis T. Benezet said, "The solar heating project adds to what
is already a first for SUNY in SUNYA's construction of a building and conference
center for alumi. We are grateful for the vision of Niagara-Mohawk in helping
make real our total vision for the University."
The project is scheduled to be completed in Spring 1975.

CHINA EXPERT GOES TO CHINA --- FINALLY
Martha Egelston has been teaching Americans about China for more
than two generations. Soon she will be on her way to mainland China for the
first time.
The Professor Emeritus of the State University of New York at Albany
is one of a group of 20 Doctors, Lawyers, and College Professors leaving
for the People's Republic of China Saturday, March 29.
Professor Egelston retired from SUNYA as a fulltime professor of
Social Sciences, American and Chinese History, in 1973, but she hasn't
stopped her association with the University.
On a voluntary basis, she has worked with the College of General
Studies, developing course materials, working out programs of special
interest to the elderly, and continuing her first love, the education of
Americans about China. In fact, a series of College of General Studies
programs, to have been headed by Professor Egelston, is beginning this
Spring. But because of her trip to China, she will miss the first two
sessions.
"But I'll be back for the third," she says "and I'll have hundreds
of slides I'll be bringing back from the trip."
Professor Egelston's itinerary sounds like one made up for someone
a third her age.
The trip will center on Peking, the Capital. But it will include
visits to a factory in Manchuria, She'll go underground to a mine, She'll
visit a health clinic to witness acupuncture, A visit with a reformed thief

She expressed some concern over the possibility that some will think
of her as a Communist because of her interest in China. "To them I say,
I'm a registered Democrat, and my religion is Protestant."
You'd think that someone who finds out she is about to take the
trip of her lifetime is spending all of her time in the last week before
the trip preparing for it. Instead, she is serving on jury duty. She's
assigned this week to the County Court of Judge Arnold Proskin.

SUNYA PROFESSORS COLLABORATORS IN PUBLISHED WORK
Two professors at State University of New York at Albany, Frank G. Carrino,
director of the Center for Inter-American Studies, and Alberto J. Carlos, chairman
of the department of Hispanic and Italian studies, have collaborated in a contem-
porary English translation of Jose Hernandez's "The Gaucho Martin Fierro", published
by State University of New York Press and sponsored by the UNESCO Collection of
Representative Works. Also collaborating in the work was Norman Mangorini, director
of the SUNY Press.
"The Gaucho Martin Fierro", now recognized as a masterpiece of world literature,
is a poem of protest drawn from the life of the gaucho, who was forced to yield his
freedom and individuality to the social and material changes that invaded his beloved
pampas. Hernandez's poem was an attempt to alert the government, and particularly
the city dwellers, to the problems faced by the gauchos in adjusting to the new, un-
familiar culture imposed on them by the Central Government soon after the fall of the
dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas in 1852.
Professor Carrino, through a grant-in-aid from the SUNY Research Foundation,
researched nineteenth century newspapers and periodicals from Argentina and Uruguay
in order to provide the significant new information on the historical and literary
impact of "The Gaucho Martin Fierro" that is included in the introduction to the
new translation.
Dr. Carrino, a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, received a master's in
Spanish from the University of Wisconsin and a doctorate in Spanish language and
literature from the University of Michigan. He was director and participant in

SUNYA'S DR. WRIGHT RECEIVES AWARD
Nathan Wright, Jr., professor of urban affairs at State University of New
York at Albany, has been chosen recipient of the 1975 Award for Excellence in
Scholarship Applied to Black Public Policy as the result of a national survey
and consultations conducted by Black Media, Inc., New York.
The notification letter states, in part, "We have taken note of the fact
that you have been a leader in thought and action over a number of years but we
feel no contribution which you have made equals your wedding in a unique and lively
way of sound scholarship to the immediate needs of oppressed people.'' The SUNYA
faculty member writes a syndicated column which is carried by 80 newspapers
throughout the country with a total estimated readership of slightly less than
one million.

TWO PUBLIC LECTURES PLANNED AT SUNYA
Two lectures of particular interest to the general public are scheduled soon
at State University of New York at Albany.
On Tuesday, Apr. 1, William Sarbello, a conservation biologist, will be the
second lecturer in the current natural history series sponsored by the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York State Museum and Science
Service, and the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center at SUNYA. His topic will
be "The Mystery of the Missing Female", concerned with a 10,00 square mile belt
of towns surrounding the Adirondacks where deer populations are far below normal.
The increase in deer numbers from the low populations experienced early
in the century has been far slower there than in similar areas elsewhere in the
state. Mr. Sarbello will discuss findings of the Department of Environmental
Conservation which indicate that illegal human activity, not nature, is the culprit.
The lecture, free to the public, will begin at 8 p.m. in Lecture Center 18.
An illustrated weather briefing by Ray Falconer, of the university's ASRC, will pre-
cede Mr. Sarbello's talk.
"Earliest Coinages and Their Forerunners" will be the subject of a lecture on
Wednesday, Apr. 9, by Professor Miriam S. Balmuth of Tufts University. The program
is being sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America and the university's
department of classics.
There is no admission charge for the program which will begin at 8 p.m. in
room 354 of the Ilumanities Building.
